Anua's azelaic acid serum — don't let the "acid" in the name fool you; it's not a super harsh exfoliant but rather a skin soother that can (gently!) clarify and help reduce redness, diminish blemishes, *and* reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and discoloration. And this formulation also includes hyaluronic acid, aloe, and cica for hydration and further soothing.
Old Navy's Vintage tee — if you're in the market for the perfect t-shirt, you can't go wrong with it. It has a relaxed fit, a not-too-long-but-not-too-short hip length that can be tucked or worn out, and a nonsaggy crew neckline. *And* it's made of a thick (aka not sheer) but breathable 100% cotton! What more is there to ask for? Oh yeah, it's under $20...and usually discounted so you can stock up on several.
A pen case, but not just any pen case. This Japanese stationery innovation functions as a pen stand so you can keep all your writing utensils at a glance, whether you're color-coding your notes in class or swapping between shades while drawing or coloring — without needing to lay everything out on your desk. And the top has a built-in drawer that can store small stuff (like erasers or paper clips) when closed *and* works as a phone stand when open, so you can keep your notis at a glance.
A *heated* ice cream scoop to make dishing up a sundae feel less like arm day at the gym. No more microwaving, no more letting the pint sit out on the counter while you wait patiently... This'll cut through your favorite flavor like buttah! The handle even displays the temperature — how fancy.
Nyx's Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Serum — a beautifully pigmented, glass-like gloss that's comfortable and non-sticky. But hear ye, hear ye: it's secretly also the PERFECT lip stain that lasts all! day! long! Just apply (the pointed doefoot is ideal for flawless application even without lipliner), let it hang out for a few minutes, then blot it away for a *gorgeous*, nonpatchy stain you don't have to reapply.
Dumpling Daughter's Spicy Sweet Soy sauce — as the name suggests, it packs just the right punch of sweet (brown sugar!), savory (soy!), and spicy (red peppers and spices!), whether you use it for dipping, drizzling, marinading, or stir frying. Yeah, it's amazing on dumplings and wontons, but consider the possibilities: zhuzhing up a bowl of ramen, whisking into a salad dressing...even (gasp) spicing up a bowl of ice cream?
A hardshell suitcase (available in carry-on and check sizes) with a *trunk*-style top opening instead of the classic clamshell, so you can access what's inside your suitcase without taking twice as much space. Raise your hand if you've found it impossible to balance your open suitcase on a flimsy luggage rack in a cramped hotel room. 🙋♀️ Plus, the single opening is also good for fitting deeper packing cubes or bulky items!
A set of Wobble Wedges designed to effortlessly fix uneven furniture (or even toilets) — they're made out of a flexible gel you can stack to the right height and easily trim with a knife or scissors for the perfect fit. But that's not all — reviewers carry a pack around with them to quickly stabilize wobbly restaurant tables.
E.l.f.'s "No Budge" retractable eyeliner, which has the same smudge-resistant longwear ingredient as expensive gel eyeliners from brands like Rare Beauty and Makeup Forever. And for just *$5* a pop! Reviewers love the creamy formula that gliiiiides across delicate skin around the eyes and dries down after 30 seconds for all-day wear, even through heat and humidity.
The Fisher-Price DJ table(!!) to encourage the tot in your life to practice making sick beats. It has built-in piano keys, lights, slides and switches, and over 100 different songs, sounds, and phrases. And before you ask: yes, there is a record they can spin, and it has a puppy wearing headphones *and* the alphabet on it.
Dae's Hair Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream & Taming Wand, which makes smoothing down flyaways for sleeeeeeeek hairstyles a breeze, thanks to the (super-soft!) built-in brush — kind of like an oversized mascara wand. The formula is packed with moisturizing ingredients that help fight frizz without that greasy look. And the small size and mess-free applicator mean it's perfect for tossing in your purse for big events or keeping in your toiletry bag for travel!
A retractable remote control tether for anyone who just wants to sit down and watch their favorite comfort show, prestige drama, or true crime marathon...without having to launch their *own* investigation into the Mystery Of Who Hid The Clicker. It's not as much fun without Keith Morrison narrating anyway. You can attach it to any flat surface (using the included adhesive pad), and the tether stretches up to 7.5 feet, so it's great to keep on your coffee table or sofa end table!
Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse if you're looking for fuller, fluffier brows without a four-step routine or wielding a pencil to painstakingly draw on individual hairs. Reviewers love the "natural," "soft" fullness it provides with minimal effort or makeup skills required.
Philips "Warm Glow Effect" soft white lightbulbs — they're the lightbulbs Nancy Meyers' daughter recommends, apparently — if you hate stark, cold lighting. These provide a warm, cozy vibe in your space that mimics the incandescent bulbs of our youth...but retains all the long-lasting convenience and energy efficiency of LED.
RoC Multi Correxion Revive + Glow Vitamin C Eye Balm — it's going viral for how well it moisturizes the under-eyes, especially before concealer to prevent cakiness or settling into fine lines. Plus, the skincare ingredients (the namesake vitamin C and peptides) can help brighten and firm the delicate skin under your eyes. And you can't beat the easy-to-apply stick — just swipe it on!
A Dazzle Dry starter kit — if you haven't seen the TikToks, it's a fast-drying, non-gel (that means no curing!) nail system that can last up to two weeks with no chipping. And it works. It does have four steps, but each step dries in...minutes, so if you're someone who likes getting their nails done quickly (and wants them to last), this is an amazing system.
Oxo's compact Cold Brew Rapid Brewer capable of making concentrated coffee in minutes (hot in two minutes, iced in just five) — without any electricity, paper filters, or magic. Just dilute however you'd like with water or milk and enjoy! You can even use the results on ice cream (affogatos are delicious) or in a delicious coffee cocktail.
K-Beauty fan fave, Mixsoon's Bean Essence that's a multitasking marvel: you can use it as a super gentle exfoliating essence (massage it in for a few minutes and wipe it off) or a hydrating essence (just pat it in). The fermented soybean and pomegranate, plus hyaluronic acid, can help your skin feel smoother and appear ✨luminous.✨ Reviewers are noticing seriously glowy, bouncy results!
A shower lamp. Yep, you read that right! Keep it in your bathroom for ~mood lighting~ so you don't have to turn on the Big Light — it'll make those early morning showers less brutally bright *and* make those bedtime showers extra relaxing.
A Birria Bomb that'll make dinner prep feel more like a spa day. JK...but in all seriousness, these chili-, herb-, and spice-packed balls are designed to impart rich flavor with minimal effort on your part — just combine water and the meat of your choosing, add the bomb, and cook in your pressure cooker, slow cooker, or right on the stovetop. Taco night is served!
A First Alert carbon monoxide detector for a little extra peace of mind when you're traveling and staying in Airbnb or hotels that may not have detectors installed. It's compact to fit neatly in your carry-on or suitcase and entirely battery-operated, so you don't need to worry about finding a free or compatible outlet.
A Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask (from viral K-Beauty brand Medicube) — it's packed with vitamin C, kojic acid and collagen, plus the namesake turmeric, to brighten and even your skin tone...all while you get a solid night of beauty sleep. And maybe the best part: you get to peeeeeeeel it off in the morning; very satisfying. The term "morning shed" just got...quite literal.
My First Tumbler, a silicone 9-ounce tumbler for any tots who are wanting a Stanley of their own...but can't wield one yet. These are super lightweight, have an easy-to-grip handle, are 100% dishwasher safe, aaaaand leak-resistant to minimize spills. Oh, and it's cute enough to quickly become their very own Emotional Support Water Bottle.
A set of hair-tie bracelets if you want to always be ponytail-ready without having a boring black elastic on your wrist at all times. These'll blend a little bit better with your go-to bracelet stack so you can enjoy all the convenience of a hairdo transformation without impacting the aesthetics of your 'fit.
A miniature bookshelf stress toy — you shake it up, then place all (200!) of the itty bitty books back on the shelves...then shake it up and do it all over again! The books are real, so you can organize by title by author, even by the color of the cover! As one reviewer says, "It's like a more elite stress ball."
Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder if you're looking for a mattifying option that still leaves your skin ~radiant~. This K-beauty innovation sets makeup, absorbs oil, and blurs and smooths the appearance of skin so your makeup looks flawless all day...no magic wand required. And btw, the packaging is magic, too — there's silicone mesh across the top for easy application without a powdery mess.
A creepy-but-cool remote-controlled gecko — and, yes it ACTUALLY climbs up walls and across floors! It can be controlled from up to 25 feet away, so definitely be prepared for a prank or two coming your way. Did I mention its eyes also glow? I'm scared, but also impressed.
Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream — it's not only your face that deserves a skincare routine! This is formulated with salicylic acid for chemically exfoliating that delicate skin (without harsh scrubbing) plus glycerine and aloe for plenty of hydration. Reviewers are surprised at the results they get but note that it does take time. So don't forget to take a before photo, and get to slathering!
Skala's Mais Cacho Hair Conditioning Treatment, a two-in-one you can use as deep conditioner you can rinse out in the shower *and/or* as a leave-in to help moisturize, detangle, and strengthen your hair. Reviewers love the soft, defined curls they're left with that last for days — and the delicious scent is a bonus. This is from a Brazilian haircare brand, btw!
A cool under-the-cabinet banana hanger (seriously, how smart is this though), to free up your precious counter space for prep work *and* keep your bananas at eye height so you might actually, well, eat one before they get overripe and you have no choice but to make yet another batch of banana bread.

In Hiroshima, a schoolboy keeps memories of war alive with guided tours\u200b
HIROSHIMA, Japan, July 31 (Reuters) - Since the age of seven, Japanese schoolboy Shun Sasaki has been offering free guided tours to foreign visitors of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park with a mission: ensuring that the horrors of nuclear war do not fade from memory with the passage of time. Aged 12 now, Shun has conveyed that message to some 2,000 visitors, recounting in his imperfect but confident English the experiences of his great-grandmother, a 'hibakusha' who survived the atomic bomb. "I want them to come to Hiroshima and know about what happened in Hiroshima on August 6," Shun said in English, referring to the day the bomb was dropped in 1945. More: Hiroshima warns against nuclear weapons as it marks 80 years since atomic bomb "I want them to know how bad is war and how good is peace. Instead of fighting, we should talk to each other about the good things of each other," he said. About twice a month, Shun makes his way to the peace park wearing a yellow bib with the words "Please feel free to talk to me in English!" splashed across the back, hoping to educate tourists about his hometown. His volunteer work has earned him the honour of being selected as one of two local children to speak at this year's ceremony to commemorate 80 years since the A-bomb was dropped -- its first use in war. Shun is now the same age as when his great-grandmother Yuriko Sasaki was buried under rubble when her house, about 1.5 km (0.9 mile) from the hypocentre, collapsed from the force of the blast. She died of colorectal cancer aged 69 in 2002, having survived breast cancer decades earlier. The uranium bomb instantly killed about 78,000 people and by the end of 1945 the number of dead, including from radiation exposure, reached about 140,000. The U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki on August 9. Canadian Chris Lowe said Shun's guided tour provided a level of appreciation that went beyond reading plaques on museum walls. "To hear that about his family… it surely wrapped it up, brought it home and made it much more personal. So it was outstanding for him to share that," he said. Shun said he plans to continue with the tours as long as he can. "The most dangerous thing is to forget what happened a long time ago… so I think we should pass the story to the next generation, and then, never forget it, ever again."
