I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

1. A sparkly tinsel mini chandelier because there is zero reason to not add a bit (okay, a lot) of pizzazz to your kitchen, living room, or bedroom! As the connoisseur of eccentric decor (see: gummy bear chandelier), Spencer Shay would approve.

Amazon

Promising review: "Absolutely freaking obsessed with this chandelier. Like OBSESSED. I got it for a Christmas decoration, but it’s staying up all year. She is perfect in our space!" —Kate B.

Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

2. Kitsch's Scalp Renewal Brushto eliminate oil and dandruff build-up while giving you the 🤤 most 🤤 satisfying 🤤 scalp massage ever. The thin, flexible bristles gently exfoliate your scalp, which can help boost circulation and may encourage hair growth. You can use it while shampooing to help your noggin feel extra clean, or just incorporate it into your daily styling routine! 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Reviewers mention this has worked on fine straight hair, thick wavy hair, and curls. 

Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody who has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).

3. A buttery soft fitted tee that'll finally end your hunt for the *perfect* basic once and for all. This bb checks all the boxes: It's stretchy while still feeling elevated, has a goldilocks length that works with high- and low-rise jeans, and isn't see-through! And you can get all that without forking over the $58 you would for Skims. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best shirt for everyday casual, pair with a blazer, or use for a workout. I love the soft feel and being form-fitting without feeling restricting. It also doesn’t wrinkle easily, which makes it great for travel!" —Mermaid Mamma

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+(available in women's sizes 3XS–4XL and 33 colors). 

4. A pack of Katsushika Hokusai Band-Aids, which were made in collaboration with The Met, that has entered the top of my "Things I Didn't Know I Needed" wish list. They're just as durable and flexible as the OG, but feature three famous artworks in three different sizes. Why am I waiting around for a paper cut rn??

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Amazon

I'm also obsessed with the way you can reuse the artsy tin they come in! 

Promising review: "So totally awesome. 😬 I needed new Band-Aids — I’m always doing something ridiculous, and with these, so pretty. I have one cat who likes to let me know when she’s done with pets, and I have claw marks from her — not to mention my general clumsiness with gardening and cooking. Love them!!" —Mom the Handyman

Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $7.49. 

5. A pair of highly rated Butterluxe biker shorts that have received their fair share of Lulu allegations — they're so so soft and comfy! They've got a breathable, stretchy fabric you'll adore for workouts, and a seamless, second-skin waistband that won't dig in when you're lounging around. Oh, and folks love that the longer inseam doesn't roll and helps prevent chafing! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Pro-tip: lots of reviewers said this was ultra-soft on their bellies, especially after C-sections!  

Promising review: "MY FAVE. I have four colors of these shorts now! They’re so soft. Squat proof. The perfect length. Great quality material. I wear all of them every week, and they’re still in perfect condition." —Steiner Mom

Get it from Amazon for $24(available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 23 colors). 

6. Or a pair of high-waisted athletic shorts if these heat waves are to blame for some *major* sweat stains on your leggings. These have an inner brief lining (not shorts) reviewers say doesn't ride up or bunch and makes them perfect for high-movement exercises! They're lightweight, comfy, sweat-wicking, *and* have a zippered pocket — aka the exact kind of support you'll want while training for that 5K in this weather. 😮‍💨

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Bonus: These are also an affordable alternative to the $68 alternative by Lulu! 

Promising review: "These shorts absolutely exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly comfortable and, honestly, have become one of my favorite athletic shorts I own. The high-waisted fit is supportive without feeling restrictive, and they stay in place beautifully whether working out, walking, traveling, or just running errands. The material is lightweight, breathable, and soft while still feeling high-quality and durable. I love that they provide great coverage without looking bulky, and the fit is sporty while still being really cute.  They’re also surprisingly versatile — perfect for gym workouts, pickleball, beach walks, hikes, lounging, or pairing with an oversize sweatshirt for an effortless athleisure look. I’ve already found myself reaching for them constantly and will definitely be ordering more colors." —Dr. Manetta 

Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and dozens of colors) 

7. A *reverse* coloring book — yes, that exists! The pages are filled with colorful shapes and brushstrokes, and all you need to do is doodle in some lines to create any picture you'd like. No need to stress about choosing the "right" color or stocking up on markers — just whip out any ol' pen and you'll be creating your very own Picassos in no time. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

One reviewer says the process is like "staring at clouds and trying to make something of the shape," which sounds so relaxing. 

Promising review: "I love this book. I pre-ordered after seeing it on TikTok and couldn't wait to get it! I'm working on my second coloring page and love it! THIS is a great book for older adults and anyone who doesn't think they are an artist! Just need a fine black marker and you'll be busy for hours!! I'm going to get more as gifts. This also makes a great alternative for children, teens, and really anyone as an alternative to screen time! Get one, you won't be disappointed!" —Little wave 

Get it from Amazon for $7.71+ (available as paperback or spiral-bound). 

8. A Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40, the holy grail hybrid that combines primer and sun protection in one gloriously glowy step! The lightweight formula contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and niacinamide for a hydrated, dewy base — and when it's so hot you cringe at the thought of foundation, it has light coverage and a pretty ~smoothing~ effect you can rock solo. 

Supergoop!

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "Supergoop! is hands down the best. Best coverage, best GLOW, and doesn't leave your face sticky. It's a chemical sunscreen and it does the job. This is the only sunscreen I use after years of looking for the right one. I get the jumbo size and reapply if needed. Never have a sunburn!" —James

Get it fromAmazon (available in four shades, three sizes, and two-packs) or from Ulta (available in four shades) for $38. 

9. Or E.l.f. Skin Suntouchable Invisible SPF 35 Sunscreen that performs a vanishing spell on texture and pores, leaving you with a velvety, blurred finish. The aloe and meadowfoam support a hydrated base, while the water-resistant gel texture helps make sure your makeup doesn't melt off as soon as you step outside. 

www.amazon.com

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Oh, you prefer a more ✨ luminous ✨ finish? You'll want to check out the E.l.f. Woah Glow SPF 30! 

Promising review: "I’m Black, and I layered a couple of products under this E.l.f. sunscreen, and it performed really well — no peeling at all, which is a huge plus. It blended seamlessly without leaving any white cast, even over my darker skin tone. Lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for daily use. Definitely keeping this in my routine!" —Milan Amor

Get it from Amazon for $13 (available in two sizes and two-packs). 

10. A Laneige Lip Glowy Balm — if you've ever tried their iconic lip mask, you know this Korean skincare has practically mastered its anti-crust spell. The sheer tint and glowy shine can enhance your natural lips or layers nicely over your lip combo, leaving you with a non-sticky, *ultra-hydrated* pout. White, dehydrated lips, begone! 🪄 

Amazon

Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite lip balm! I purchased this balm years ago when it first launched. I have repurchased it ever since, and it was the product that introduced me to the brand. The balm is phenomenal. Its claims are spot on — it moisturizes and volumizes, and the balm's texture fills in the lip lines, giving your lips a more youthful appearance. It's a lip treatment as well because the feel and look of my lips have improved since I started using it. It works wonders for NYC summers and winters — something truly impressive since I usually prefer different textures depending on the season. Laneige is light enough for the heat, and protective and moisturizing enough for the cold. Although I enjoy using all the flavors, my most repurchased is the Berry one. The tint is subtle, but it does a great job at effortlessly perfecting and enhancing the look of your natural lip. I use it on bare lips usually, but they also pair well on top of liner and lipstick." —Leddy

Get it from Amazon for $19(available in 12 flavors and a kit with a lip mask). 

11. An athletic skort that may look veeeery familiar, and that's because it's modeled after the Lulu Align skirt, which goes for $78! It even has the same built-in shorts with hidden pockets, and a stretchy, breathable fabric that's perf for workouts. As your budget bestie, I cannot bear to see you overspend on a cute, versatile basic. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was very impressed with the skirt, especially for the price tag. The material is buttery soft, similar to a Lululemon Align skirt. It is not see-through. I ended up buying more colors." —H.E.R

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 10 colors). 

12. A limited-edition Dr Teal's "Strawberry Serenade" Epsom salt magnesium soak so you can embrace all things sunshine and berries, and experience what may be the most blissful 20 minutes of your life. Just sprinkle a bit into your bath, and the lovely, bright mix of strawberry with basil and orange essential oils can soften skin while helping your stress just float away. Maybe you can't escape to a cottage surrounded by strawberry fields, but treating yourself to this will still feel pretty dang amazing. 🍓

Amazon

Promising review: "A great magnesium soak, very affordable, and amazing, incredible scent! It is so uplifting and vibrant — it should not be a special edition but a regular product offering! Bravo!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $5.87. 

13. Eqqualberry NAD+ Peptide Boosting Cream, which has been dubbed the "GOAT of skincare" by the reviewer with that impressive B&A below. 👀 The combo of peptides and advanced NAD+ is basically a K-beauty potion for helping hydrate, firm, and tighten crepey skin on your neck and chest. Folks are reporting super noticeable results after about a month! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This seemed a little pricey at first, but after a few weeks, my skin is remarkably smoother. The texture is finer, fine lines have disappeared, and the texture is smooth. It absorbs into the skin well, so ideal for both at night and under makeup. There is no fragrance, which is a plus for me. It’s an excellent value for the money, and it’s a great product." —Emily

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (also available as a two-pack). 

14. E.l.f Skin Thirst Burst Lip Treatment that would never *dream* of charging you $24 for hydrating, glossy goodness — yeah, I'm talking about you, Summer Fridays. This sheer, nourishing formula works wonders on dry lips and takes it up a notch by adding 1% Peptide Complex for a plumping boost! And anyway, have you ever tried a pomelo-flavored lippie?

www.instagram.com, Amazon

Promising review: "The texture is thick! But it’s a good thick. These feel so smooth on the lips and are very glossy. Currently, my favorite E.l.f. lip product, over the Glow Reviver Oil. Smell is not overwhelming, and neither is taste. I came back to order them all." —Khloe3

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three shades). 

15. Londontown's Glow Getter Nail Luminizer so you can achieve a clean, manicured look with practically zero effort at all — it doesn't require a base or top coat! It's formulated with ingredients meant to brighten dull nails and support their health, leaving them with a healthy glow that shimmers like fairy dust in the sun. 🧚 

Amazon

Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. 

Promising review: "I like a one-and-done nail product that will protect my fragile nails, but also stay put. I don’t baby my nails at all, so I like something that doesn’t show wear quickly. I’m not sure what’s in this one specifically, but it stays on so well. It’s also a nice micro shimmer/glitter. I’ve used a few other polishes from this brand, and while they are all nice, this is my favorite so far." —H. Peeples 

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in three shades). 

16. Or if you prefer an even subtler look, Manucurist Active Smooth, which comes in neutrals for various skin tones! The quick-dry polish has ingredients like castor oil, AHA, and vitamin E to help support nail health and smooth out ridges. If you're anything like me, a salon visit every two weeks is not in the budget right now, and this is a great way to keep your nails feeling polished! 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review (wearing Smooth Neutral): "I AM OBSESSED with this nail system. My nails look better than they have in a long time. Lasts perfectly for about a week with heavy use of hands, which is the longest I’ve had a nail polish last. Looks like you have a subtle milky polish. The pictures are with two coats, looks even better in person!" —Jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in four shades).

17. A stunningone-piece bathing suitthat'll make you feel like a siren lounging on the shore. 🧜‍♀️ It has built-in shaping mesh and an elastic underband for support, plus adjustable back and side ties so you can customize your full-coverage or cheeky fit. You'll look oh-so-elegant when pairing it with your largest sun hat and sunnies, yet feel secure when it's time to snorkel!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Popilush is a small business that specializes in activewear and shapewear. 

Promising review: "This bathing suit made me feel so good and secure! It has great support and flexibility to style it to fit your body. I'm a size 12 and ordered an extra large, which I think was a perfect fit, especially if you have a larger chest." —Emily Kightlinger 

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and seven colors). 

18. Fully's Green Tomato Pore Cleanser people with oily, blackhead-prone skin (oh, and Cardi B) are head over heels for. It's a super quick way to get a deep cleanse on clogged pores — just leave it on as a mask for two minutes, then rinse off as a cleanser! The powerful six-clay combo can gently exfoliate and leave your pores feeling so squeaky clean, you'll probably be ruined for other clay masks for good. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I was very skeptical about this product. I thought it was another celeb 'paid and promoted' kind of thing. I use it as a mask only on and around the T-zone. It greatly reduced whiteheads and blackheads! It’s a miracle! Usually, I could feel the white head bumps. It now looks so smooth and clean! I've used it four times so far. Don’t leave it longer than recommended if you are using it as a mask. I felt my skin getting dried out." —solemia2

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available as a two-pack and a rice dough formula). 

19. An adorable bear-shaped pet hair remover, which automatically cancels out any bad vibes you could feel while cleaning fur and fuzz off your furniture — and no, not just because of its cute face! This nifty gadget has a sort of prickly fabric that captures pet hair, then stores it in a chamber for easy tossing. It's totally reusable, so you won't have to side-eye your furry friend while opening your second lint roller of the week. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Bought this because I was looking for a smaller version of the ChomChom. Works the same lint-wise, but the motion is different and easier for me because the handle aligns differently. The best I can describe is that the ChomChom has to go forward and backward, like away from and toward my body. This one goes side to side. And the smaller size is helpful." —Dolljrsw

Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 

20. A lightweight, moisture-wicking UPF 50+ long-sleeve shirt, because I'm that friend who takes SPF too seriously (is there such a thing?), and IMO if you don't want to lather it on every few hours, just shield your skin from the sun! You get to save money on pricier alternatives, I get to stop stressing about the UV rays sizzling your arms and chest... It's a win-win! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the BEST sun protection shirts! I actually own eight and just sent two to my sister. I am a redhead with extremely fair skin. I have had skin cancer removed on my body in six places. I wear my shirts when I am outside walking my dog, tending to my garden, traveling in my car, and just hanging out in my backyard. The shirt is lightweight and cool. I have never gotten a sunburn when I wear them. They look great on and wash up nicely. I have owned other sun shirts from Columbia and Sunbrella. These shirts work just as well and are a lot more affordable. I highly recommend them for sun protection and even exercise. They feel like a dry-fit shirt." —Susan

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 35 styles). 

21. Eos Coconut Waters Cashmere Body Wash — oh, you thought only the cult-fave "Vanilla Cashmere" was worthy of a spot in your routine? Well, allow me to introduce you to this summer-in-a-bottle scent that smells like the beach (coconut, hibiscus, driftwood) and lathers beautifully on the skin. The gentle,  nourishing combo of glycerin, cocoa seed butter, shea butter and oil, and vitamin E can leave you feeling hydrated and silky smooth!

Amazon

Promising review: "The scent smells AMAZING and fills up the whole bathroom while I shower. It leaves my skin feeling really soft and moisturized afterward instead of dry or tight like some body washes do. This body wash is a thick, creamy gel and lathers easily, and the scent actually lasts on my skin for a long time after showering, which I love. I also have pretty sensitive skin and usually react to heavily scented products, but this one hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts for me personally. Overall, I think it's a great product if you want something moisturizing with a strong, cozy scent that actually lasts." —paige elissa

Get it from Amazon for $9.98(available in seven other scents). 

22. A bottle of Pattern Leave-In-Conditionerfor an effortless way to detangle, lock in moisture, and define everything from wavy hair to tighter curls! Reviewers adore the weightless texture and the way it hydrates dry ends, tames frizz, *and* calms flyaways. Everyone say, "Thank you, Ms. Tracee Ellis Ross!" 🙌

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers with 2b–4c hair mentioned this works for them.

Promising review: "Oh this is THAT girl! I have like 4a hair with low porosity, and oh my this is just fantastic. It is so lightweight but creamy and melts into my hair like butter on a hot summer day! And yes, it did leave my hair tender! 10/10 I love you, Tracee!" —Maya

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes and as a two-pack). 

23. A pair of super cool '70s-inspired polarized sunnies you won't be able to walk your dog in without people you pass stopping to ask for the link. These'll add some instant stylish "oomph" to any outfit — and anyway, if you're going to accessorize, you may as well commit. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Loveee these. Absolutely looking like the '70s. They look very expensive. People compliment me all the time, questioning me about a specific designer. These are absolutely my everyday favorites." —Nurse Tmonique

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 14 styles). 

24. A sensitive-skin friendly Kitsch's Cleansing Tart Cherry Soap Bar infused with vitamin E and shea butter that'll make every shower feel like an absolute *treat* for your skin. And once your nose sniffs hints of raspberry, rose, and jasmine, it'll probably break into a happy dance, too! Bonus: It's a more travel- and eco-friendly alternative to plastic bottles. 

Amazon

This is shipped and packaged plastic-free! 

Promising review: "I have very, very itchy sensitive skin and I have been using this bar exclusively for two weeks, and I am sold and will continue to use this. I picked this bar (and a reusable bag so I can hang it from a hook in my shower) because it was the lowest cost, and I have not regretted it. The smell is lovely, the bar is very foamy, the bag helps create a mild exfoliant if you want, and my skin does not feel tight or dry after. Hanging it allows it to dry between uses, and it is not sitting in goo. Two weeks in, and it has retained the original texture seen in the picture that contributes to the foaminess. Great bargain." —Melissa 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99(available in 13 other scents). 

25. Lancôme's Lash Idôle Lash-Lifting & Volumizing Mascara with a curved brush that's a fave among reviewers, as it follows the natural curve of your eye and grabs every lil' lash to lift and lengthen. The lightweight formula doesn't clump when built up and creates a gorgeous, fanned-out effect that'll flutter every time you blink. 🦋 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is my favorite high-end mascara. I love how it fans out my lashes. Not clumpy at all and adds great volume and length to my lashes. The color is a rich black. Tried all the other popular ones and this is still my favorite, and it lasts a while, so I get the travel sizebecause it always stays fresh." —Lioness

Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in a $16 travel size and as a two-pack). 

26. A lightweight Pantene Sunkiss Glow Multitasting Sprayyou can spritz on your hair before a beach day (or any sunny outing!) to help protect against UV damage and color fading. It's also infused with niacinamide, vitamin B5, and vitamin E to help hydrate, lock in moisture, and reduce tangles — because that chlorine and saltwater dryness is no joke either. And it's got notes of tropical fruit, coconut, and warm sandalwood that'll make you feel like you're 🎶  walking on sunshine, woahhh. 🎶 

www.instagram.com, www.instagram.com

Promising review: "This is such a great idea to have for hair during the summer or even living in a warmer climate. I put it in mine and my three girls' hair today before the pool, and hair felt great after washing. Highly recommend." —Alyssa Speaker

Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 

27. A 50-piece set of rainbow scratch art when you just need to watch reruns of The Office and zone out for a bit. There's something about creating a nostalgic mini masterpiece that just soothes the soul. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought this for my 6-year-old boy, and he absolutely loved them. He even taught his 1-year-old sister how to use them, and she was delighted to see the colors appear on the page. They spent hours on these when they couldn't go outside due to rain or too much heat." —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $4.99+(available in two styles). 

28. A pair of soft, patterned barrel jeans — I just talked to your closet, and it yearns for funky pants! These beauties are inspired by a pricier mall brand and have the Power Of Pattern™, aka add instant style to your 'fit even if it's the third time you're wearing a plain white tee that week. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Had these for quite some time before tearing off the tags to wear them, and had so many compliments on them! I love them! Super comfy and fun." —Shannon Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 15 styles). 

29. A stylish shoulder bag your friends will be shocked to find out is actually from Amazon! This can hold everything you need for a night out and will keep it all organized in the card slots and zippered pocket. It can also be used as a clutch or crossbody in case you'll be too busy dancing during '90s Night to keep track of your belongings. 💃 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Perfect size purse for glasses case, small umbrella, passport. Plenty of card slots. Inside zipper pocket for cash and change. The shoulder strap is the perfect length; the chain is great for crossbody. Clips and rings are metal; hopefully durable over time. Can definitely dress up or casual. Like it so much. I just ordered one in another color!" —BA 

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in 35 styles). 

30. A set of silicone pinch-grip oven mitts that won't slowly burn your fingers while you frantically clear a space to set down the pan you took out of the oven. They're heat-resistant up to 460 degrees, have a non-slip rainbow pattern, and can be left hanging on your oven or air fryer for quick access! Old dish rag, thank you for your service, but it's time for an upgrade. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Just the right size for grabbing things out of my toaster oven and microwave. Easy to hold onto handles and without handles. Not too thick, but I felt no heat, easy to wash off, good value, and quality item. Wish I’d bought sooner." —Bonny Anne

Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.99(available in six colors). 

31. Lip Smacker's Hello Kitty So Jelly Lip & Cheek Tint, a 2-in-1 solution to waking up late and having to do your makeup in the parking lot before work. This highly-pigmented stain stick has the color payoff you've been dreaming of — with just a few dabs and a quick blend, you'll be good to go!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "SO staining!! It takes only a few tiny, very light swipes for this lip gel balm stuff to stain the ever-living daylights out of your lips, cheeks, and nose. You might even want to put it on your fingertip and then dab it, but then wash your fingertip because it will also stain. I actually love this about the lip balm because I like my products to last a long time. I’m active, and just like anyone, I want my stuff to work! And this does. I mean it really absolutely definitely does. It also smells positively delightful. I bought three of them. Plus who doesn’t love Hello Kitty? Oh! Also, the cap stays on super tight. It’s not going to fall off in your bag and jeopardize everything else inside. That’s a definite plus as well." —H. Killough-Walden

Get it from Amazon for $4.97+ (available in Apple and Cherry). 

32. A small-but-mighty JBL Go 4 portable speakerso you can listen to the song of the summer while lounging at the beach, hiking up a mountain trail, or just taking a shower (it's waterproof!). Folks are seriously impressed by how clear and loud the audio gets, and say the bass is amazing for the size. It comes in tons of bright colors, which'll 1) make your maximalist heart happy and 2) help it stand out so it never gets left behind while you're packing. And it even has a loop so you can clip it to your pants or backpack! Go, little speaker, go! 🕺 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "LOVE this little speaker! I’ve had a JBL Charge 4 for years and wanted something smaller and more portable for the pool this summer. This is the perfect size, so easy to throw in a bag. Volume gets so loud for how small it is! And the sound quality is very good — no distortion like other cheap small speakers. I always want more bass in every speaker, but this bass is remarkably good for the size. Overall very impressed, especially for the price." —KARA

Get it from Amazon for $49.95(available in nine colors). 

33. An "impossible" 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle you'll feel SO proud of completing, you'll probably want to frame and hang it up in the living room for all guests to see! It has a mosaic, stained glass look that'll add a pop of life to the drab gray walls your landlord won't let you paint. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this puzzle for Christmas as a family activity, and it was a huge hit! The Tree of Life stained glass design is absolutely beautiful, and the colors are vibrant and eye-catching. It was definitely challenging, but that made it even more fun for everyone to work on together. We spent several cozy evenings around the table piecing it together and making great holiday memories. If you're looking for a puzzle that brings the family together and keeps everyone engaged, this is a wonderful choice! 🧩🎄😊" —MoD

Get it from Amazon for $16.19. 

34. A whimsical fruit claw clip because summer is too short to not be accessorizing with blueberries, strawberries, and bananas any chance you get. There are even some underrated fruit options available, which I, as a papaya truther, appreciate. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "The clip is even cuter in person! Colors and size came exactly as pictured. So far, the quality is great. Highly recommend!" —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $9.96+ (available in 16 styles).
