I am a contributor and former resident writer at BuzzFeed Shopping, where I covered everything from fashion to kitchen products — but beauty and travel are my bread and butter (and shopping vices).

1. A ridiculously comfortable oversize hoodie you might as well call your second skin considering you'll never want to take it off. Reviewers love how it's warm without feeling stuffy and compare the quality to brands like Aritzia and Skims. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this hoodie. I’ve been looking for a warm, soft hoodie with a big hood for a long time. This quality is excellent and feels more expensive. It is an oversized fit. I usually wear an XL top and sometimes L. The large fit perfectly! I want one in every color now." —LindsayW

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–5XL and 56 colors). 

2. A set of Paris Hilton's heart-shaped pink ramekins for the perfect single-serving baked mac 'n' cheese. They’re as useful as they are cute — dishwasher- and microwave-safe, and can handle temps up to 400 degrees.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Paris Hilton heart-shaped ramekins in action. 

Promising review: "I'm in love, everything I eat out of them is more enjoyable because they are so cute. Also well packaged, arrived perfectly, and it's nice, heavy, and well-glazed stoneware. The nicest light pink color. To be aware, they are as wide as you'd expect but fairly shallow." —All 

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $17.99. 

3. A luxury-scented candle beloved by reviewers for how well it fills a space with its incredible aroma. (They say you can even smell it while it's not lit!) This jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend is definitely a reviewer fave, but there are sooo many amazing scents to choose from — it's almost impossible to *not* find one (or several) that match your preference. 

www.amazon.com

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table and even though it wasn't lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you. The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent. I even bought the shampoo and conditionerwhich I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me!" —Melissa I. 

Get it from Amazon for$16.95+ (available in four sizes, in gift box options, and in a variety of scents).  

4. A whipped body butter to up your moisturizing game. The soft, fluffy texture melts right into your skin, so it feels light but is still super hydrating. And it comes in so many delicious scents, you'll have to stop yourself from buying a dozen more. 

Well Etched/Etsy

Well Etched is a woman-owned, California-based Etsy shop that specializes in natural whipped body butters.

Promising review: "AMAZING!!! This is not only such a great quality product, but it smells amazing!!! There was also a sample of another scent, and it smelled so good! I’ll definitely be ordering it. Item shipped super quickly, and there was a thoughtful handwritten note in the package! 1,000/10💕💕💕" —Maggie Ryan

Get it from Well Etched on Etsy for $14.50+ (available in three sizes and dozens of scents).

5. A breathable, moisture-wicking waffle weave blanket for hot sleepers who still want to snuggle up under a blanket without overheating. It's ridiculously soft and has a cooling effect that will make it your go-to blanket during the warmer months.

Amazon

Promising review: "We absolutely love these blankets. We entertain family and friends quite a bit andI know of four people who have bought blankets from this seller after staying with us. They are light and airy but also warm and cozy. They hold up well in the wash and keep their appearance as looking new. We will definitely purchase more." —KMcK 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 22 colors and six sizes). 

6. A stunning, colorful crystal suncatcher to hang in your window, and it'll be like a magical spell is cast every time the light touches it, projecting beautiful tiny rainbows all over your room.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Sparkling and beautiful. I bought these to hang in my kitchen window, and they are perfect. The sun hits the crystals, and it creates a beautiful shine and radiance. I've received lots of compliments. Nice buy!" —Alicia Burciaga

Get a 6-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in eight styles). 

7. A pair of durable, retro-inspired rounded square aviator sunglasses so you can get the cool guy Top Gun look. But they aren't just for show; these are super lightweight and have polarized lenses for better sun protection and visibility. If your habit of losing sunglasses has you too scared to invest in a designer pair, then these are the perfect compromise, getting you the high-end look without the splurge.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These sunglasses are so great, I love them. They are super lightweight, and they look amazing on. The shape and fit are perfect, and they are very comfortable. They are great because they are so inexpensive you don't have to worry about them, but they also are well made and good quality. Highly recommend if you want a nice pair of sunglasses that don't cost a fortune." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 21 styles). 

8. A Secret Garden–inspired book vase to perfectly encapsulate your love of historical fiction and flowers. But you don't have to go with flowers — you could also fill it with shells, marbles, and more. *Plus* it's acrylic, so you don't have to be as worried about it breaking if your cat knocks it over!

Amazon

Porpan is a small business that makes tons of beautiful vases and other home decor.

Promising review: "I love this book vase. I added somesilk flowersand it looks great. The size is just right on my dresser." —Rachel

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Okay when I say that this is a sign for you to get this bag, you should TOTALLY GET IT. I stumbled across this girl’s TikTok while searching for an affordable tote while being durable, spacious, and stylish! I am glad I came across this tote. It is perfect for school, and switching it up for work or travel! As an art major with a bunch of sketchbooks and a 16-inch laptop, I approve!" —Zonna Vu

Get it from Amazon for $11.90+ (available in four styles). 

11. A gorgeouscocktail ring set that looks like it costs at least a thousand dollars, but nope! — it literally costs less than the shrimp carbonara from Olive Garden. Reviewers say it's very durable, so you'll be able to rock it for years to come.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "First let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now and in the beginning I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks I just decided to leave it on and it has been fine. I never take it off, the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price and I am very pleased." —tracy k revels

Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two colors and ring sizes 5–10).

Promising reviews: "Beautiful wineglasses. I am obsessed. They are so modern and elegant. The quality is really nice. They arrived very well packaged. Definitely worth the money." —Maybeline

Get a set of two from Amazon for$13.95+ (available in two styles). 

13. A set of satin pillowcases that'll have you smiling in your sleep, knowing how much you saved getting these instead of dropping over $50 on a single Blissy pillowcase. These create less friction on your hair compared to cotton pillowcases, which helps reduce frizz and breakage; plus, the satin just feels so soft and cool on your skin. 

Amazon

Promising reviews: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn’t frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." —Aaron Key

"These are really nice — perfect price point too. There's no difference between these and the same pillowcases from Kitsch at three times the price." —Keri

Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 35 colors and four sizes).

14. A "floating" wine bottle holder to make your favorite wine look like it's levitating and convince guests that you're actually a witch. Reviewers confirm that it's very stable, so you don't need to worry about it tipping and breaking. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was actually curious if this was actually going to work and if it would look cheap, but it's well made, sturdy, and looks pretty cool. You can use other liquor bottles. Don't be fooled by the empty bottle and lack of weight. I tried full bottles of unopened wine, and it's held up really well. For the price point, you can't beat it, and you will definitely get lots of compliments!" —KGP

Get it from Amazon for $14.90 (available in three styles). 

15. A pair of upscale palazzo pants so you can feel cozy and comfortable while looking put-together.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I use it to get ready every morning!! So cute, also very easy to clean. Hasn’t cracked no matter how rough I am with it. It’s very lightweight and a great gift for yourself or anyone. Definitely worth the price $$!!!" —M. Gonzalez

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

17. A sparkly tennis bracelet because you actually don't have to spend an arm and a leg on a Swarovski to feel opulent. This one looks just as elegant and timeless, and can be worn every day or to special events. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

18. A pair of gold-plated, hypoallergenic minimalist teardrop earrings you can wear with any 'fit for any occasion — not many accessories can look as equally amazing with a shirt and jeans as they do with a floor-length gown, but these pull it off! They might look similar to the Bottega Veneta ones, but thankfully, they're *much* cheaper.

Amazon

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly these earrings came and in such cute and safe packaging. They were so shiny and stylish, but I chose the ones that were quite large, but very comfortable and will go with everything!! These are lightweight so they won't pull on your earlobes, you can actually wear them all day and forget they're on, they're so comfy!!! Love them!!" —Placeholder

Get a set from Amazon for$8.95+ (available in gold or silver color, sets of two, and in a larger size). 

19. A glass vintage-inspired foam soap dispenser if the Bridgerton aesthetic really speaks to your soul. It's also the life hack of the century if you want an expensive-looking space on a budget — just get one of these and fill it with $2 hand soap!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these! Make my bathroom look so much better and they work great. I refill them using Bath & Body Works foam soap, and it comes out great. Do pay attention to how much you fill it, though. I would leave about an inch or so from the top to have room for the pump." —Sabrina Thiel 

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in seven colors).

20. A pair of fuzzy memory foam slippers you can rock while lounging around the house or even while running errands — yes, they're durable enough to go beyond the couch (they're waterproof and anti-slip)! Reviewers love how soft and comfortable these are and say they keep their feet nice and toasty.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These slippers are amazing! Discovered them on TikTok and went back and forth about ordering them but wow, they are so comfortable. I have barely taken them off since receiving them. They are so fluffy and stay on my feet surprisingly well when walking around the house. Can’t wait until more colors are in stock to get another pair." —MSumm

Get it from Amazon for$14.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 13 colors). 

21. A chic retro-style baguette purse that instantly adds sleek energy to a 'fit — even sweats and a hoodie. It's perfect for going out when all you need are the essentials, and the strap is the perfect length to go over your shoulder without catching on your clothes or digging into your armpit. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Gorgeous bag. The material is so easy to clean, it's beyond sturdy and looks very classy. The zipper pocket inside is great for storing things discreetly. The length is great, it sits perfectly under my arm with a little bit of room still. Overall great purchase." —Mary

Get it from Amazon for$16.95+ (available in four colors). 

22. A scoop neck top that's also giving Skims a run for their money. It's super soft with the perfect amount of thickness and stretchiness, making it the perfect versatile staple for your closet. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." —Julianne

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–4XL and 29 colors).

23. A set of old money-esque decorative hand towels you can monogram with your initials for some extra ~sophistication~. But they're not just beautiful — these are also extremely soft, thick, and absorbent.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These towels are absolutely superior quality in every way. Very soft, thick and beautiful. The monogramming is also well done. Exactly what I was looking for in my new bathroom. I will be buying more." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven colors and 26 initial options).

24. A pair ofwireless over-the-ear headphones that are giving AirPods Max energy with their sleek look and premium cushion padding — except, of course, getting these won't require you handing over hundreds of dollars. They also feature a built-in mic for calls, 10 hours of battery life, and do a decent job of blocking out noise!

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

Emma says: "Because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." 

Promising review: "I really like these headphones. The noise cancellation isn’t 100% but it’s pretty close. The color is really cute and music comes through really clear. Calls are good as well. I wish the buttons on the side were a bit raised but that’s it. For the price, these are really worth it!" —Sophia Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors). 

25. Some peel-and-stick palm leaf wallpaper to transform any room into a Pinterest inspo photo. This one is almost indistinguishable from West Elm's tropical wallpaper — except it's ~actually~ within your budget. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I used this in a little bathroom refresh and it was perfect. So easy to apply and makes me feel like I’m at a bougie Palm Springs hotel. I love it!" —Pilatesandpapaya

Get a 28-square-foot roll from Amazon for$13.17+ (available in three colors).
