I believe a cozy coloring book and a pack of scented colored pencils would heal me.
1. Mini Brands Books — mystery capsules filled with tiny replicas of popular titles and a little bookshelf to place them on! You'll have a full library of best-sellers like It Starts With Us and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in no time.
Each capsule includes three mini books, a tiny bookshelf, and one other mystery surprise (either a magnifying glass or bookmark).
Promising review: "I had seen many librarians post about the Mini Brand Books, so I purchased two sets for myself and a library aide! We love the surprise of seeing what we received and the bookshelf to keep our books organized, of course! Can't wait to add more to our collection!" — Robin T.
Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in a two-pack).
2. A Popin Cookin kit so you can whip up miniature candy sushi that looks surprisingly realistic and tastes like delicious fruit gummies. It comes with all the ingredients and tools needed to make two pieces of tamago and tuna nigiri, plus one ikura sushi. It's also waaayyy less expensive than treating yourself to a night at your fave sushi spot.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought these years ago and decided to buy them again for me and my son. He really enjoyed making the candy/gummies. He was proud of his candy sushi once they were assembled, and of course, he loved eating them. He said they were very yummy. The flavor for all the different little things wasn't bad but my favorite was the 'seaweed,' it tastes just like grape Hi-Chew (my favorite flavor). I recommend buying these at least once for the kids. It's fun and a tasty treat. We will look into the other kinds in the near future." — Blythe
Get it from Amazon for $5.39 (also available in a three-pack).
3. A beautiful bouquet of crochet flowers that are 100% better than real ones since they don't require constant watering and will last longer than 2.5 days. There are several colors to choose from, and they're all bound to add a vibrant touch to even the dreariest winter days.
Vega Studio Art/Etsy
The small size includes four flowers, and the large size includes six flowers.
Promising review: "This arrangement sits behind one of my couches and it is always the first thing in my living room people comment on. It is so cute I love it!!" — Sarah K.

4. Murdle, Volume 1, a book filled with 100 logic mystery puzzles that'll test even the most ardent Agatha Christie aficionado. In each mini-puzzle, you'll join Detective Logico to figure out who, how, where, and why — and a special message can be decrypted once you finish all of them!
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of Murdle in action.
The best part?? Once you finish "Murdling," you can use your sleuthing skills on Volume 2, Volume 3, and a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books!
Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, storylines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativity! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes, but this one will keep me busy for a while!" — Liz Gately
Get it from Amazon for $10.25.
5. And a murder mystery puzzle so riveting you might just be tempted to complete it in one night. You'll start by reading a brief story, then get to work on the puzzle. As you put the pieces together, more info is revealed, and the final image will tell you whodunnit! Jessica Fletcher has nothing on you 🕵️♀️.
Amazon
Promising review: "You don't get to see what it is until it's halfway done, and as you piece it together, everything starts to make sense. Such a fun idea. No missing pieces! And the quality is so good! Stays together! Love all the details of the finished piece." — Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $16.10+ (available in two styles).
6. A Little Corner coloring book filled with images of cozy rooms and cute building exteriors you can customize to fit your personal style. If your favorite part of Animal Crossing is decking your house out with cute furniture and funky wallpaper, you're going to LOVE this.
Promising review:"I purchased this coloring book because I enjoy coloring small details. Too much coloring on one thing can get boring, but I love this one for the many different outlines to color! Not only is the coloring book detailed, but its title really does reflect the book — it brings you a cute and comfy vibe when coloring in it! I also appreciate the variety of pages it has, too! Some coloring books give you minimal pages, but this one contains a bunch! I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I highly recommend if you're contemplating which cute coloring book to order!" — STimm
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
7. And a set of scented colored pencils that will make you super nostalgic for all the scented school supplies of years past. However, these come with a super sophisticated twist: instead of basic scents like grape and strawberry, you'll get dreamy fragrances like "Springtime Brunch In The Garden" and "A Lush Field of Wildflowers." I want to go to there.
Promising review: "Everything about these colored pencils is enchanting, the design, scents, *the names of the colors*. Sigh. These scratch my itch for charming, lovely little things to elevate the day-to-day, and they take coloring as relaxation to a new level of self-care. The quality of the pencils themselves in terms of drawing/coloring is great as well; they blend easily, and the colors are clear/unmuted (they are not as rich/smooth as true artist quality pencils but perform above standard Crayola, similar to Prismacolor). I had to get a couple more as gifts, and both recipients were absolutely delighted." — Sunny
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three color palettes and in sets with diffuser pens).
8. A lip balm keychain cap so you can keep your go-to fave on you at all times. If winter has been wreaking havoc on your lips, this will be a life-saver. They're designed to screw onto a variety of popular lip balms (including Summer Fridays, Glossier, and Laneige), but be sure to take a look at the listing to make sure your favorite brand is compatible.
Promising review:"One of my favorite purchases from Etsy! I have one on my keys and my work bag. My lips are now always glossy. It fits several brands of lip gloss. I just took it to Sephora and tried the samples on the screw top." — Samantha
Glossgrl Caps is a small Etsy shop based in Florida.
Get it from Glossgrl Caps on Etsy for $6+ (available in various colors and styles).
9. A Blind Date With a Book — an absolutely genius idea for bookworms looking to spice up their reading list with a totally random recommendation. All you have to do is select your genre of choice, and then you'll receive a brand new, beautifully wrapped book ready for you to discover (along with some fun extras like a highlighter and bookmark!). Who knows, you might just find your new fave book this way.
All books sent are in brand new condition and have a Goodreads rating of at least 3.5, but often higher. The extras included will vary with each book.
Promising review:"Absolutely so well put together and a beautiful gift to myself as I'm trying to dip into reading more books in different genres! Love it!" — Nikki
Cute Book Corner is a small Etsy shop based in Van Nuys, CA.
Get it from Cute Book Corner on Etsy for $22.99 (originally $45; available in 12 genres or a random selection).
10. A plush piece of toast for the days when eating carbs isn't enough — you must also hug them. It may look extra crispy, but reviewers say it's actually very soft and lightweight. It can offer a supportive smile while you grind away at your desk all day, and then you can cuddle it to sleep, which is much more sanitary than bringing an actual loaf of bread to bed.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This little stuffy is adorable. It's very well made, the perfect size, cuddly, and lightweight. My daughter's baby brother keeps trying to steal it because he loves it so much. I'm going to have to order a second one!" – TR
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in four other styles)
11. And a set of emotional support nuggets — you can carry one of these little cuties around with you all day, or just carry the whole basket, I won't judge. If you ever get tired and frustrated at work, just take a quick glance at these to remind you why it's all worth it — to make unnecessary but adorable purchases like this.
Amazon
Promising review: "These are the absolute cutest little support plushies ever. They are well-made and super soft. The overall quality is great. You can either carry one for personal comfort or the whole basket for group support. Perfect for little hands, and even bigger ones if necessary." — LLBon23
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
12. A silly swinging planter I guarantee will put a smile on your face every time you see it — kind of like the one painted on it! It includes two hooks for easy hanging and a drainage hole for easy plant parenting. I suggest placing this by a window so it can lightly swing anytime there's a breeze.
Amazon
Promising review:"This adorable plant pot is great for my collection. The cord is strong and long enough to adjust as needed. I was concerned that the little guy would tip forward on his swing, but it actually sits very nicely and looks great. The size is wonderful — so many special pots like this are tiny, but this one holds a nice mature plant. All the materials are of nice quality, and the planter itself is thick and sturdy." — LauraM
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (also available in five other styles).
13. Or a high-tech planter pot for anyone who has trouble keeping track of their plant children. The adorable display on the front lets you know how happy your plant is (i.e., if the soil is moist enough and if it's getting enough light), and it even has a self-watering feature you can control through the smartphone app. This is basically a grown-up Tamagotchi.
Amazon
Promising review:"I got this as a gift, and they love their Ivy planter! The digital expressions are cute and adorable, but aside from that, the size and quality of the planter itself make this an excellent planter. The app it comes with is easy to use and makes it easy to take care of your plant. I look forward to getting this for myself in the future!" — Mario
Get it from Amazon for $81.99+ (available in five colors).
14. A Bitzee — it puts a 3D spin on the traditional virtual pet from our childhood. Simply open the capsule to reveal one of 15 pets that respond to touch, tilts, and swipes. There's even a Disney version with characters like Stitch, Wall-E, and Lightning McQueen!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
When your pets evolve into Super Bitzees, you can find cool outfits and mini-games. In a rare turn of events, batteries are included!
Promising review:"My 8-year-old loves this thing so much that she hasn't put it down since she got it. It was the star of the show for Christmas, and I got so many hugs for getting it for her. This is basically the modern take on the old-school Tamagotchis, but it has a fluttering LED bar that zips up and down at an extremely high rate of speed to mimic the appearance of an actual digital pet floating in midair. Seems weird at first, but that fluttering light bar also allows you to feel like you are really touching the animal — very cool in action. If you are a parent looking for the perfect gift for a 5-10-year-old child, then do yourself a favor and grab one of these; you will not regret it! Really awesome toy for a very reasonable price." — M. Myers
Get it from Amazon for $23.44+ (available in four styles).
15. " Liquipens," which answers the age-old question: what would happen if you combined a pen with a lava lamp??? The answer? A ridiculously fun writing utensil you'll stare at and play with all day long. Reviewers say the pen itself is great quality, and the lava lamp effect doubles as a calming sensory toy.
Promising review:"I broke up the three-pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in a stocking for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband, who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." — Kindle Customer
Get a set of three from Amazon for $17.99.
16. A coffee mug that has a precious surprise inside waiting to greet you "Good morning!" after you finish your first cup of the day. Imagine starting every morning with a tiny ceramic squirrel offering you an acorn 😭.
Amazon
The mug holds 12 ounces.
Promising review: "A great little mug. Feels good in the hand, a nice size, beautiful 'hammered' texture on the outside, and such a lovely, sunny color." — K-Mommy
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 11 color/animal combinations).
17. Or a coffee mug with a cute bookshelf design and a unique interactive twist: there's a QR code on one of the books you can scan that will take you to a new literary quote every day. The best part of waking up is now reading quotes from Charles Dickens, W.E.B. DuBois, Jane Austen, and more.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review:"Love this mug so much! I purchased three — two for my best reading friends and one for myself! I love that this mug is 'left-handed' friendly, too, as I'm a lefty, and so is one of my reading buddies, so often we miss out on seeing 'cool stuff' on our mugs — not on this one! The daily literary quotes are awesome! I love seeing old favorites and have been inspired to read books I don't know about via daily quotes!" — FourBuddies
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $28.
18. A Hello Kitty ramen bowl, which would pair perfectly with a pack of pink Buldak noodles (which everyone knows is the best flavor). It comes with matching chopsticks that can be stored inside the bowl, so it's basically the only thing you'll need to grab when your late-night noodle craving hits.
Amazon
Promising review: "I love this bowl! The quality of the bowl is really good; it's super easy to clean, a standard-sized bowl. I've been handwashing mine, so I don't know how it handles in the dishwasher, but the design has not faded whatsoever (which has been an issue I've had with some cups back in the day!). Pretty good gift idea." — The Witch Noir
Get it from Amazon for $17.30+ (available in 18 styles).
19. And a super soft plush that looks like a normal Care Bear from the back, but turn it around, and you'll see it's actually Hello Kitty in disguise! Two iconic characters for the price of one?! That's such a steal it would almost be rude not to add it to your cart.
Amazon
Promising review: "I love this Hello Kitty and Care Bear! I am an adult who grew up with Hello Kitty and had to have this. Well made and soft." — Karen T.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other characters).
20. A desk lamp shaped like Glen Pow... I mean a capybara! It's totally wireless, and a single charge can last for up to six hours, meaning you can carry your new pet around with you from room to room. There's even a 20-minute timer function, so it'll cut off by the time you go to sleep. Please tell your new lamp he was excellent in Twisters.
Promising review:"Seriously adorable and easy to recharge. It's been awesome for my bathroom. Use it as a night-light and in the dark morning while taking my shower. Puts out a good amount of light and is easy to use." — Cassie
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (also available in four other styles).
21. Or a duck night-light that will cheer you up almost immediately because it's a total mood. You can tap the duck to change between three different brightness settings, so you can use it for everything from study sessions to nap time.
Promising review: "This little lamp is BEYOND adorable. I got it as a gift for my niece, and she loved it. It's super cute, has a soft squishy texture, and has a little X for his butt. Maybe some won't like the little X, but it just adds extra cuteness. Worked right out of the box. Seemed pretty bright. Squish him, and the level changes. I can't speak to life expectancy, but it seems decent enough quality. Freaking adorable! Way better than expected." — KF
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
22. An adorable polar bear hydrating eye stick — it's basically a venti iced coffee for your under-eye area. It features Iceland glacier water to help relieve the appearance of puffiness, and the niacinamide in the formula can provide a brightening effect to lessen the severity of dark circles. Also, reviewers love putting this lil' cutie in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation! I mean, it is a polar bear, after all — it only makes sense to keep it cold.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes, and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." — Ben
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
23. An adorable cat that only has one job — to hold your glasses, and it does it so well! Now you'll have a proper place to place your specs instead of throwing them on your messy nightstand and then fishing around for them in the morning.
Promising review: "This is perfect to hold my glasses so I don't have to spend time looking for them. It's super cute and heavier than expected. Really happy with the purchase." — Savannah
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $32.
24. A set of pastel highlighters with glitter in the ink. I don't think you heard me — there's ✨ GLITTER ✨ in the ink!!! I haven't been this excited about glitter since Mariah Carey started an acting career. Their rectangular design provides an ergonomic grip so you can use them for hours and hours during your next study session — or for when you read a Colleen Hoover novel and decide to highlight every ridiculous thing that happens (so, the entire book).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the highlighters in action.
Promising review:"These are amazing!!! Beautiful colors and the sparkle/shimmer is more than I imagined it would be. Mr. Pen did it again! If you don't have these pens, you need to get them!! Great addition to my journaling supplies!" — FBJH12
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.98 (also available in three other color combos that aren't metallic).
25. A whimsical UFO Bluetooth speaker to teleport you to planet Funkytown and give you some background music while finally responding to those e-mails you've been ignoring all week. It also acts as a night-light, so this might fly its way over to your nightstand as well.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Bought this for my daughter, and she loved it. The design is cute. Quality seems good for the price. Love the sound quality and ability to play any music. I'd have bought this just as a cute decor gift as well." — Nilay
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors).
26. A moisturizing body wash with notes of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber — and reviewers say it smells super similar to Baccarat Rouge 540 👀 👀 👀. Plus, its moisturizing blend of glycerin and jojoba seed oil will leave your skin feeling as good as it smells.
Amazon
Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other scents).
27. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings that'll make you shed a tear when you realize you can now cross the way-pricier Bottega Veneta ones off your wishlist. Tons of reviewers say these are super lightweight and won't cause ear pain, yet still make quite a statement and elevate any outfit.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra-large size).
28. A llama-shaped stress ball with a catchphrase you will live by: "when spit happens, give me a squeeze!" Now, you can redirect the aggression you feel toward your laptop every time it freezes into cuteness aggression toward this squeezable sweetie.
Promising review:"I tend to get rather stressed and have been known to accidentally obliterate stress balls. Thankfully, this llama is quite sturdy and hasn't shown any signs of wear and tear yet despite frequent and intense use over the past few weeks. Based on that, I fully expect him to endure for a long time to come." — Rachel L
Get it from Amazon for $13.95.
29. A ridiculously adorable Bluetooth karaoke machine for the aspiring American Idol who never turns down the chance to grab a mic. This can easily connect to your phone so you can play your favorite songs, and the two mini mics provide some impressive sound quality.
Promising review:"This karaoke machine is great! The quality of the sound is super clear! All of the buttons are self-explanatory in case you lose the directions, and they're very accessible! The light is nice as well, especially if you're in the party mood, however you can turn it off if not wanted. This size is perfect for transporting and makes it easy to use anywhere! 10/10 recommend" — mksavage
Get it from Amazon for $20.86+ (available in nine colors).
30. A bubble tea kit (it's made in Taiwan!) so you can save some money by making boba at home. It comes with everything you need — yes, including the boba! — to make your own milk tea at home, so this is really a gift for your wallet as well.
It's as easy as mixing the powder and boba in hot water.
Promising review: "This. Is. AWESOME! I will agree with another reviewer that the Thai tea tastes a little more like Tiger tea, but is still super good nonetheless. I just had surgery and haven't been able to leave the house, so I bought this product for my boba fix while healing up. I used about 6oz of water for mine, so it's a bit more diluted, but that's a better balance for tea to boba pearls. The pearls are quite soft but have a great taste. The tea is so sweet and flavorful. Really enjoy this product! Super easy to use, great value. Cute box and easy-to-follow instructions. And pretty decent quality! Can't wait to enjoy the rest of this box!" — SO GOOD!
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two flavors).
31. An "Everyday Mindfulness"-themed word search book for anyone looking to decrease their screen time in 2025. From anagram searches to fill-in-the-blank puzzles, you'll be so entertained you won't even miss your phone.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for! It lays flat to easily complete the word search and not have to fight with the book. There are different types of puzzles, and some have extra secret searches! It's great for the slow days at work!! I will definitely be buying more of these word searches!" — Roy Y Hahn
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
32. Kanoodle Ultimate Champion game, an updated version of the game that's taken over TikTok — although you'll be scrolling through TikTok a lot less now that this brain-teaser has entered your life. This version includes a whopping 500 puzzles to solve, but the game-changer is the included timer to help provide an extra challenge.
Amazon
The goal? Try to fit all of the puzzle pieces on the game board before the timer is up! The easiest way to get started is to place one piece inside, close the lid and shake until the piece falls in a spot on the board, then open and start the timer as you try to fit the remaining pieces inside! There are also challenge cards that give you a specific shape to make in a set amount of time. Here's a TikTok video that shows how to play. It requires AAA batteries, so pick some up here.
BuzzFeed contributor John Mihaly has this to say about this game:
"We love the classic version in our home, and it's been in heavy rotation since we got our hands on it. The object of the game is to finish a puzzle using all 12 Kanoodle pieces. The 2D version lies flat, while the 3D version (you can play both with this set) requires you to build a pyramid of pieces. Simple, fun, and challenging (harder puzzles reveal fewer pieces to start)."
Promising review: "Very easy to use and fun for all ages. Great gift idea and is small and compact, so you can take it anywhere with you!" — Jocelyn
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

Pierce Brosnan would consider James Bond return if director had 'something up his sleeve'
Pierce Brosnan wouldn't be opposed to returning to the James Bond franchise after Denis Villeneuve signed onto the project. Brosnan had a good sense of humor about the topic, telling the Radio Times: "I don't think anyone wants to see a craggy, 72-year-old Bond, but if Villeneuve had something up his sleeve I would look at it in a heartbeat." "Why not? It's great entertainment. It could be lots of laughs. Bald caps, prosthetics… who knows?" Brosnan portrayed a version of 007 from 1995 until 2002. He starred in four total films – "GoldenEye," "Tomorrow Never Dies," "The World Is Not Enough" and "Die Another Day." The actor admitted he and his wife have been on the lookout for Amazon's big reveal ever since the streamer took over full creative control of the franchise from the Broccoli family in February. Amazon initially acquired the distribution rights to the Bond films in 2022 after purchasing MGM. "I have been listening to the drumbeat of expectation of who's going to be the next James Bond," Brosnan revealed. "There are many great candidates out there, and I'm sure they're going to make it a spectacle of delight." While there may be a handful of great candidates, Brosnan's "The Thursday Murder Club" co-star Helen Mirren insisted 007 "has to be a guy." "I'm such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy," she told Saga magazine. "You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work. James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else." Robert Davi, who played the villain Franz Sanchez in the 1989 James Bond film "License to Kill," said he hopes the franchise does not go "woke" now that Amazon has creative control in an interview with Fox News Digital. "I hope it doesn't," Davi said in February. "You know, I was very close to 'Cubby' Broccoli and his wife, Dana, and the legacy... And they were, as far as I'm concerned, they were Ronald Reagan conservatives and wonderful people. And you know, I think if we succumb to every fad – especially one that's not based on total science – it's a little frightening."

27 Style Pieces Amazon Customers Love August 2025
Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending~. Here are some of the most stylish and loved pieces of clothing and accessories on the list recently: A pleated tennis skort to bring a ~playful sporty cute~ aesthetic to your summer plans, whether you're on the courts, grabbing coffee, or walking the dog. Promising review: "This skort is absolutely adorable! The fabric is wonderfully lightweight, making it perfect for staying cool on warm days. After washing, it maintained its vibrant look and softness, which is a huge plus. I found it to be noticeably thinner and more breathable compared to other similar styles I've purchased, allowing for great comfort during wear. It's so cozy that I could easily see myself wearing it every day. Although it's slightly shorter than my other skorts, I actually don't mind that at all — it adds a playful touch to the overall style!" —Ashley MillerPrice: $14.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 25 colors) A lightweight blouse featuring lace-crochet detailing and Swiss dot texturing, since it's a boho-chic alternative to your basic summer tee. Promising review: "Love this top. You can dress it up or down. It's lightweight, so it's easy to wear in the summer or under a cardigan in the fall and winter. The color green/gray is very nice and versatile. It washes up really well, and I hang it dry. It fits true to size." —DeanaPrice: $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–6X and 37 colors) A comfy tank dress because it's simple in design but unique in pattern choices — we're talking everything from ombre and leaves to tie-dye floral options! Lots of reviewers wear it as-is for casual outings and then dress it up with a sweater or some nice jewelry come ~fancier~ occasions. Promising review: "Love my new dress! It's light, but not see-through. I wore it golfing, but could easily dress it up for a fancier occasion with a light sweater or bolero. The colors matched the picture exactly, and, for the price, the quality is excellent. I may have to order more because it's so comfortable and cool." —Sonja BjerkosPrice: $8.58+ (available in sizes S–3X and 36 colors/patterns) A scalloped cardigan that'll add a touch of cute coastal style when there's a slight breeze (or AC draft) in the air. I'm pretty sure this is what a mermaid on land would wear when her arms get a bit chilly. Just saying. Promising review: "This is the perfect little black lightweight sweater! The fit is perfect. The quality is top-notch, and the scallops really give it extra class. Over a dress or casual with jeans, it fits the bill. I hope some of the other colors go on sale! I'll be a repeat customer." —CarolPrice: $23.19+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 37 colors/patterns) A slinky double-lined tube top in case you want to add a splash of Y2K energy to your 2025 'fits — and before you even ask, yes, reviewers say it's sleek, buttery-soft, and won't slip down. Promising review: "Obsessed with this tube top! I'm a double D with a small waist, and it's so hard to find stuff that fits both my waist and my bust size, but this top fits perfectly! The material is so soft, and the inside has a little strip above the bust line, so it doesn't roll down or come down and stick to your skin. It can be dressed up or dressed down. I'm ready to buy this in more colors!" —Mom to bbPrice: $19.16+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 26 colors) A pair of high-waisted bike shorts because — wait, I don't actually have to explain why these are an essential athleisure staple, do I? All you *actually* need me to tell you is that these ones fit the necessary requirements with pockets, buttery-soft comfort, and a secure fit that stays in place! Promising reviews: "These are my absolute favorite type of shorts to wear, especially at work, and it's been hard for me to find ones that I really love, especially online. The fit, or even just the material, is always off, BUT THESE are PERFECT. The material is PERFECT. Not see-through at all. Super soft. stretchy and they have pockets! They are an absolute win and I bought every color immediately. 10 out of freakin 10 and no, they do not roll up. These are everything you want in this type of shorts, I assure you." —Candace s."Buttery soft and true to size. They do not ride up when running/walking. Love these shorts!" —ABShepherdPrice: $7.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X, three lengths, and 18 colors) Plus, an oversize crewneck T-shirt to slip on over those bike shorts for the laidback-slouchy look that's all the rage these days. Promising review: "Y'all — this shirt is the GOAT. I have like five now, and I keep buying more because I hardly want to wear anything else. I wear them to work (barista, on my feet and moving all day, lots of bending/reaching/lifting), to the gym, out on casual excursions with friends, and around the house for cleaning or relaxing. They are SO soft. They look brand new after washing, no pilling or shrinking at all. The fabric is a good thickness and drapes nicely without clinging or riding up. I only have the black ones so far, but they haven't faded a bit. The seams are strong, too. I haven't had to sew any loose areas or clip any threads. The fit is cute and comfortable. I didn't know the world's best T-shirt could be found for $8, but here it is! Buy it!! (If you like fitted tops, this isn't the one for you, but I love ease of movement and loose clothing!)" —Kit $12.34+ (available in sizes S–3X and 28 colors) A two-strap leather sandal for anyone who's a big fan of the Birkenstocks look but not a big fan of the price. These offer similar style and comfort, only cost wayyy less, which in this economy, is a MAJOR win. Promising review: "Love these sandals! Bought them in blue denim. Being a long-time lover of Birkenstock, I took a chance and purchased Project Cloud sandals. The fit and fabric were great. Super comfortable because of the cushioning in the foot bed, and the very reasonable price. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for comfort, quality, and price." —Alison GiglioPrice: $39.90 (available in sizes 5.5–11, including wide sizes, and 21 colors) A tiered maxi dress that's soft, flowy, and breathable, all while being unbelievably adorable. In fact, you might want to live in this darling number 24/7, and honestly, I say go for it! Promising review: "This dress is so cute and comfortable! It's breathable, comfortable, and fits perfectly in all of the right places. I don't like my dresses being too tight, and this one fits perfectly. It goes all the way down to my ankles and can be dressed up or down. The quality of this dress is amazing!! I will be buying more in different colors! Highly recommend this dress." —mirandaPrice: $24.49 (available in sizes S–XXL and 28 colors) A ribbed tank top with a built-in bra so you can eliminate any worry of bra straps peeking through while still keeping ~the gals~ plenty supported. FWIW, lots of reviewers end up going back to buy more of these, so you might just want to grab several tanks right from the get-go. Promising review: "I loved the first one I bought so much that I ended up buying three other colors and have a few others still saved on my wish list for future purchase. The built-in bra is actually comfortable and holds my girls up nicely. I love that the padding is actually part of the top and not removable. You can't even tell that I'm not wearing a bra with it. The sizing of the tank is spot on, and they are breathable and soft. The built-in bra underlayer sits lower on my chest/ribs instead of right under my boobs like some of the other tops that I own. The colors are exactly as pictured. So far, I have brown, tan, black, and white. I love that I can easily dress them up for work or dress them down with jeans or leggings. Price-wise, they're a good value for the quality. Honestly, I'm tempted to just replace all of my current tanks with these instead." —ShandaPrice: $17.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and nine colors) A high-waisted capri legging for days when you're feeling as indecisive as the weather. Hot? Cold? Pants? Shorts? Capris are the answer (especially when they're buttery-soft and supportive)! Promising review: "The perfect leggings! These buttery soft leggings fit great and run true to size. They can be paired with a cute top or tee for everyday wear or are versatile enough to wear for yoga, running, or your workout session. They are thin but not see-through! I will be purchasing more of these." —AshleyPrice: $5.98+ (available in sizes S–4X, three styles, and 34 colors) A fitted long-sleeve shirt since you'll feel uber-confident in this sleek, body-hugging top — and unlike a bodysuit, it's 100% hassle free. Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this slightly cropped black long sleeve. The material is soft, stretchy, and fits like a glove. It hugs my body in all the right places and gives such a nice shape. It feels tight without being uncomfortable and moves easily, whether I'm lifting, stretching, or just running errands. It also looks amazing. The cropped cut hits at a great spot and pairs perfectly with high-waisted leggings or jeans. I've worn it to the gym and also styled it for a casual outfit, and it works for both. Definitely worth five stars." —Kate $9.99 A casual swing dress with pockets you'll probably wear at least once a week from now through fall. Pair this with nearly any shoes (plus leggings and a scarf if needed), and you've got an easy-peasy cute 'n' comfy outfit for the day! Promising review: "This VERY reasonably priced dress is so cute! Perfect for an outdoor party, or home chores, or a quick trip to the store. Washes well. Fabric is cool in the heat. Fits as described, with just enough flare in the skirt. Glad I bought two!" —Labbylover197732Price: $22.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 43 colors/patterns) A pair of wide-leg cropped jeans giving off a professional tailored vibe with just a touch of spunky attitude. In other words, you can rock 'em at the office AND at the trendy new tapas place downtown. Promising review: "These jeans are the holy grail! bought my first pair in white. I wore them for the whole day, and I fell in love with them. They are tailored, very expensive-looking, and so comfortable. I wore them on a 90-degree day and never felt hot, and they move with you. They have great detail, they stretched, but they don't sag. These jeans made me feel so beautiful that I came home and bought the pink and the black. Very rarely do I find a pair of pants that can fit my body and have all the elements of a great pant. They are roomy and they look great. They are professional enough that I can wear them for work, but trendy enough that I can wear them on a date. I love these pants, and if you're on the fence, just buy one pair, you'll end up going back and buying more!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $30.58+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 17 colors) The viral Trendy Queen hoodie that's won over tons of TikTokers with its cozy comfort, high-quality feel, and stylish oversized look. Plus, it comes in 38 different colors, so you can probably find one you LOVE and not just like. Promising review: "I'll definitely be buying more! So soft and comfy. Thicker material fits well, oversized. Feels more expensive and better quality than most! Love the color too." —CiaraPrice: $29.99 (available in sizes XXS–4X and 38 colors) A slouchy, somewhat oversized mini dress (with built-in shorts) to match your carefree Bob Marley-esque summer vibe. Promising review: "I get compliments every time I wear this dress! Super comfy! I could buy it in every color." —Allison WelchPrice: $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 24 colors) A pair of flowy linen palazzo pants because they're super chic while feeling as comfortable as sweatpants — they even have a smocked elastic waistband! Promising review: "Buy these — you won't regret it! The first time I wore them, four people complimented me, and two wanted a link to buy their own. They fit perfectly…they're also really comfortable, and I love the elastic waist." —Troy's momPrice: $35.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 23 colors) A short-sleeve sweater blouse if you are counting down the days until fall is here because of the cozy sweaters, cooler weather, and pumpkin spice lattes. This piece offers a hint of fall fashion but is still cool enough to wear in the late summer weather. Promising review: "I love this shirt. Super soft like a sweater, but breathable and lightweight. Drapes nicely and is the perfect length. I love the color, too. Such a nice neutral that looks good with any color bottom." —RebeccaPrice: $12.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 12 colors) A casual jumpsuit that's got a relaxed boho aesthetic but basically feels like wearing pajamas. In fact, many reviewers say it's so darn comfy they want to live in it! 😍 Promising review: "Yes. Just, yes. I've seen these everywhere, and finally got one. Then once I received it, I ordered four more. It's that comfortable/useful/ideal. Comfort rules my life since chemo, and these check every box! They are cute enough to wear around friends and family gatherings, but comfortable enough to wear for HOURS without worrying about bloating, sitting comfortably (I'm a crisscross sitter), and the pockets are HUGE! If you get 'pant blousing cuff straps' (military folks know what I'm talking about), you can make these great for gardening, too. I absolutely love these!!!" —TahoedivaPrice: $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 22 colors) A pair of retro-inspired oval sunglasses so you can protect your eyes *and* look like a '90s movie star. After all, you know every line of Friends so well by now, it's practically like you were a cast member! Promising review: "A must-buy!!! These sunnies are the perfect size, shape, and color, while also being extremely lightweight and comfortable. Very complementary to the face. If you haven't bought yet, this is your sign!!! BRB, ordering the other colors now. :)" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $15.99+ (available in nine styles and in multipacks) A cap-sleeve T-shirt for a simple but reliable wardrobe staple that can be styled loose and untucked for a flowy, relaxed look or French tucked when you're after a chicer getup. Promising review: "I fell in LOVE with this top! It's extremely comfortable and the color is amazing. It's a relaxed fit, which is just what I wanted. Great quality and very lightweight. Perfect for spring, summer, or fall!" —Katie HollomanPrice: $9.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 19 colors) A pair of Levi's Original 501 shorts because they're an iconic warm-weather staple for good reason: comfortable, stylish, and endlessly versatile. Promising review: "I recently picked up a pair of Levi's 501 shorts, and I couldn't be happier with them! These shorts offer the perfect combination of classic style and modern comfort. The fit is just right — loose enough to be comfortable. The denim is durable and feels high-quality, and I love the timeless 501 cut that works for a variety of occasions. The shorts are breathable and perfect for warmer weather, and I appreciate that they maintain their shape and color even after several washes. The only downside is that the fit may not work for everyone, as the waist can be a bit snug for those with wider hips, but overall, I'm really impressed with these shorts. They're versatile, stylish, and well-made — definitely a wardrobe staple! Highly recommend!" —Ellie StuartPrice: $24.52+ (available in sizes 16–34 and 44 washes) A pair of buttery-soft crossover-waist leggings you truly can't go wrong with any time of year. In addition to the ~snatching~ waistband, these have a trendy, somewhat sassy flare cut that'll totally add some ~oomph~ to your workouts, errands, and casual outings. Promising review: "The material is buttery soft and has the perfect amount of stretch while still feeling supportive. The high-waisted V design stays in place all day — no rolling down! The flare style adds such a fun and trendy touch, making them versatile enough to wear to the gym, on errands, or even to dress up for a casual outing. I've received so many compliments while wearing them. They're true to size, and the length is just right for me (I'm 5'7'). The quality is amazing, especially for the price! I've only washed them a few times, and they still look as good as new. Highly recommend these leggings for anyone looking for style, comfort, and durability!" —Amanda SmithPrice: $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, four lengths, three inseam styles, and 32 colors) A pair of flip-flops that actually 👏 have 👏 support. 👏 Seriously. Reviewers love the thick cushiony yoga mat soles and say they're actually comfy, thanks to the arch support. Promising reviews: "These are stylish, easy to wear, durable, lightweight, the perfect size, color goes with everything, and even has a small arch support! I've been wearing them every day and I still haven't gotten a blister! I love these sandals. 👡" —Mary Bunn"Super cute and comfy and true to size! The fabric is really soft and comfortably fitting. The footbed has nice arch support for flip-flops and a fine texture that should help prevent slippage while not digging into the feet. Bought white and plan to buy more colors!" —starfaeriePrice: $14.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and 26 colors) A seriously chic one-piece bathing suit here to prove once and for all that poolside fashion does not require a bikini. Summer may be winding down, but there's still plenty of time to soak up some sun with confidence and style. Promising review: "This swimsuit exceeded my expectations. The material is of much higher quality than expected, and it has great coverage, which can be difficult to find online. The pattern was even better in person, and I love that I can adjust the straps to fit me better. I feel great and look great in this suit! Couldn't recommend it enough!" —AbigailPrice: $36.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 18–22 and 32 colors) A pair of gingham boxer shorts if you want to lounge about in crisp, vintage-inspired style. Of course, you can totally wear these out of the house too because they're hella trendy. Promising review: "These shorts are such a fun find! The red gingham pattern is super cute and gives off a picnic-chic, vintage vibe. The fabric is lightweight and breathable — perfect for hot days — and the elastic waistband makes them extra comfy for lounging, running errands, or casual summer outings. They're a nice length: not too short. I paired mine with a white crop top and sneakers and got so many compliments! Tip: They run slightly roomy, so if you're between sizes, you might want to size down for a more fitted look. Highly recommend for an easy, cute summer staple that feels just as good as it looks." —HeatherRPrice: $16.66 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors/patterns) A pair of wide-leg linen-blend pants so you can look *and* feel ~effortlessly cool~ as you stroll down the boardwalk or mosey about the historic downtown square of whatever tourist town you're visiting for the long weekend. Promising review: "Love these! I didn't think they'd work for me, but they are a great fit. Fit a bit snugly in the hips, bottom, and thighs at first. After wearing for about an hour in this summer heat and humidity, they stretched out a bit, and whatever wrinkles were in them disappeared. Favorite thing about wearing linen/linen blend clothing. I definitely don't recommend sizing up because they will loosen with wear. I've washed them twice. The first time I air-dried them, and the second time I dried them in the dryer, and they did not shrink. Very breathable fabric and cool in the heat. Beautiful colors. Will definitely order more. I love that they have pockets too!" —AfroballerinaPrice: $29.69 (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors)
