Seriously, you deserve a little treat 😊
1. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker that ~magically~ turns frozen fruit into a delicious, creamy sorbet. So order this and then start stocking up on all your favorite fruits. Will strawberry and pineapple be the best flavor? IDK, you'll have to get this to try it out.
Promising review:"I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! I t makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It's easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." — DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $38.49+ (available in six colors).
2. A pair of lightweight chunky hoop earrings with a variety of size and color options so you can pick the pair that fits perfectly with your aesthetic.
Promising review: "OMG I'm obsessed with these earrings. They're so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They're great quality and I usually can't wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch so much. This one didn't do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn't do that either. I'm going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Highlyyy recommend." — Ziyana Iyer
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes, three colors, two materials, and a two-pack).
3. A decorative ceramic lips holder to add a little spice to your side table. These are perfect for holding jewelry, lip balms, or other small knickknacks in a container that showcases your personality instead of boring ol' bowls.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love this as I'm getting into my super pink era. 💅🏼 It's a nice weight and not easily breakable. It holds a lot of knickknacks too, from lipsticks to trinkets. I also think it's really cute. Going to get a number of these to put around my home." — Agusta
Get it from Amazon for $13.96+ (available in four colors).
4. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt so you can create that delicious flavor of movie theater popcorn, except this kind won't cost you an arm and a leg!!
Promising review:"I used to use Flavacol during my time working at an amusement park and popping popcorn for hungry guests, so I knew this was what the 'professionals' use. I am happy to report that using this does make your popcorn taste like it was just popped at a movie theater. I like to put a little bit of oil on my kernels, mix in some Flavacol, and then add it to the pot of oil on my stove top when it's hot enough (as opposed to sprinkling it on top of freshly popped corn, which I could see easily accidentally adding too much). It also means that I'm no longer loading up my popcorn with additional toppings like butter or plain salt. Yum!" — Kate R.
(P.S. Grab this popular microwave popcorn maker/bowl on Amazon for $16.99+ to round out your popcorn making experience.)
Get it from Amazon for $9.75.
5. An adorable toast night-light because why would you ever have a normal version if you could have this little cutie illuminating your room?! And he's multi-functional — you can prop your phone on his legs for a great show watching experience.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It has different brightness settings and you can set it to auto turn on/off with a quick tap.
Promising review: "Cutest little light I didn't know I needed! Timer function is perfect for use as a nightlight or as an indicator that it's time for bed. Brightness is perfect, especially since you can choose to keep front, back, or both lights on. Battery life is fantastic, I've only charged it once since getting it and it has been used every night. Would definitely recommend." — Tiff164
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three styles and a plush version with an alarm clock).
6. A lip balm keychain cap designed to replace the original lid so you can attach your emotional support lip balm to your keys, purse strap, backpack, etc. instead of losing it at least two every months cause you can't remember where you put it last.

www.amazon.com
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Katy Herman has this and says, "My boyfriend got a two-pack of head massagers like this and gave me one. We now use them on each other constantly and I am eternally grateful. I'm struggling to keep my description of how good it feels family-friendly, so that should give you an idea. It's awesome when you have a headache or just need to relax. The only downside is it WILL mess up your hair (especially if you have curls or textured hair, reviewers note) and may get caught if your hair is tangled, so use it gently. It's worth it!"
Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99.
11. A set of fine point pens because there's something about taking notes with aesthetically pleasing, colorful pens that just makes it better. Dreading your to-do list? Write it out and ~color code~ your tasks — it'll make 'em seem less daunting.

I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use and I don't remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!" — Kate
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three versions and three quantities).
12. A baby Nessie infuser to take your tea-drinking experience to a whole new level. This little guy is ~dino-mite.~
Check out a TikTok of the tea infuser in action.
Just insert your loose-leaf tea into the body and twist the top on then brew your tea like normal! And it's dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "I'll start by saying that this is so stinking cute! I love it and I mostly bought it for that reason. No shame in admitting that. However, that being said, it works well too! It does not feel cheap and seems to have been made pretty well. It was a great purchase in my book." — Jesica
Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (also available in a green version).
13. A LOL-worthy fruit-shaped cat cap that'll turn your kitty into the cutest apple (or banana, or strawberry, etc!) you ever did see, even if all they want from the moment it touches their head is to get it off.
Promising review:"I would give these 10 stars if I could, but I'm sure Freya would give it a -3. I think she looks like an angelic banana, but she is not amused. I don't believe this causes her physical discomfort, but her self-esteem has plummeted. Long story short, makes your cat look stupid, as planned. LOL." — Amazon Customer
Get one in a random fruit from Amazon for $7.99.
14. A pretty little trinket dish shaped like a cat so you can stick all your rings on its tail and any bracelets or earrings in the dish underneath. Your next big decision is just figuring out what to name this cutie patootie.
Promising review: "This is great for any cat lady/jewelry lover in your life! I gifted this to an older friend of mine and she loves it! It's bigger than your typical jewelry dish so it's perfect for holding jewelry and small trinkets. I would definitely buy again if I had more friends who like cats!" — Lexi
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two cat styles, and other options).
15. A car mirror swinging duck accessory who is about to become your new BFF. You're just gonna be mad you're sitting in traffic instead of on a swing next to this lil' guy.
Amazon
Promising review:"Saw it one day when I was just browsing. That's usually dangerous I know. It's actually heavier than I thought it was going to be, in a good way though. It's not cheaply made. I've gotten a few laughs from people in other vehicles. Only side effect is if you get upset at other drivers it isn't very intimidating when you're giving the mad stare. LOL. I was pleased with the purchase in all." — Charles Ramsey
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in 14 other animals).
16. A dainty reviewer-beloved gold-plated anklet because there's something about ankle jewelry that is just chef's kiss. 👩🏼‍🍳💋 Plus, reviewers are raving about how well it is holding up even after showering or swimming with it on, and for $13 you really can't beat that!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"This is the best anklet I've ever owned in terms of value for cost. I've had mine for a few months and it hasn't broken or even turned color at all, still just as gold and beautiful as the day I received it. Usually when I spend $12 on a piece of jewelry it's for a specific event and I go into it KNOWING (or at least thinking!) that it won't last too much longer after said event. This thing has lasted me all summer so far. A++++++++." — Annie
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two lengths).
17. A pack of four "licorice" straws that are actually made of silicone, but will surely transport you to the good ol' days of biting the ends off the candy and drinking your soda through it. Maybe you can even placebo effect yourself into thinking it makes water taste a little bit ~fruity.~
Amazon
PS: These come from a small biz! They're dishwasher safe and come with a brush to help clean inside 'em.
Promising review:" Now that reusable straws are becoming more and more popular, especially where we live in California, I figured it would be great to have a little fun. These are great for kids as well as adults, and they work really well! I will certainly be ordering them again." — Joshua Epstein
Get them from Amazon for $10.49.
18. A pound of cereal marshmallows so you can stop spending way too long trying to pick them out whenever you make a bowl, leaving every other person in the house ~unlucky~ with just the bland, plain bits — how ~charming.~
www.amazon.com
Medley Hills Farm is an Ohio-based, family-owned small business that specializes in unique candies, snacks, and baking supplies.
Promising review:"Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
19. Orrr a 5-pound bag of delicious gummy bears reviewers say are wayyy better than the normal name brand you've been eating for years. Plus, if you're only a fan of one or two flavors, you can get a gigantic bag of just one type so you don't have to sift through the variety pack picking out all the orange bears.
And if you wanna switch it up, they have all kinds of different shapes — worms, butterflies, frogs, etc.
Promising review: "I was eating a different brand of gummy bears, a well known brand, and I really liked them a lot. They were 'filled' with juice, I think, but they often arrived sticky and were a much higher price. I couldn't believe when I tried these how much better they were!!! OMG, I'm never going back to the other brand. This is like a secret. I can't imagine any gummy bear lovers not loving these! So far, they are the very best, no other ones even come close!!! If you've been eating another brand and want to give a different one a try, DO IT, you will be pleasantly surprised. These are my absolute favorite snack treat now!" — Sage
Get them from Amazon for $13.29+ (available 10 flavor options and multi-packs).

There are sooo many different colors and expressions available (from rage to worried to love) so you'll definitely find at least one to express your emotions.
Promising review:"It sits on the top of my dash and reflects my mood. Nobody has tried to talk to me from the passenger side of their best friend's ride while it's been in angry mode. I want more. I shall have a school of them." — Lisa noel
Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 37 styles).
21. A Frostbuddy designed to hold your fave to-go iced coffee cup inside so it will stay cold and you don't end up covered in condensation with a sad, watered-down coffee. Whether your fave cup o' joe is small, medium, or large from Starbucks, Dunkin', or McDonald's, it should fit perfectly in this neat little contraption.
Check out a TikTok of the Frostbuddy in action.

Promising review:"I absolutely love this! I use this all the time for my coffee from Starbucks, and it is amazing! I'll get iced coffee at 9 a.m. and still have ice in it at 7 p.m. I have many Frost Buddy products now, and their entire line is phenomenal. This is definitely a must-have item for coffee or tea drinkers. I love that it also comes with a leakproof lid, so you can put your own drink in there, too. Overall, awesome product!" — EHW
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 10 styles).

23. A set of collagen-infused forehead patches to help minimize fine lines and improve elasticity while you sleep. Personally, I have one wrinkle on my forehead I'd love to see vamoose, but I don't really mind the other ones. Don't let anyone tell you having wrinkles is bad, do whatever you feel comfortable with!!
Promising reviews:"So, I was really debating whether or not I should get my Botox done to get an early start, but then I came across this product from TikTok and honestly saved me a lot of money! It actually works a great deal to reduce wrinkle lines. I was very surprised how well it worked!" — Hannah
"The patches work great; I could see the difference just after a few uses. They stick really well and stay on all night. They feel cool and soothing, and I love how easy they are to use. Highly recommend!" — M. Brinson
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two other versions).
24. A set of delightful self-heating masks that'll soothe your feet with Epsom salts, shea butter, lavender, and peppermint to give your dogs the break they deserve.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has these and says, "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!"
Get three pairs from Amazon for $10.77.
25. A set of five Monkey Noodle fidget toys you won't be able to stop stretching and pulling. These simple yet super entertaining toys can stretch up to 8 (!!) feet but will always return to their original state.
These are designed for kiddos 3 and up.
Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite fidget! I'm an adult with autism and ADHD. I carry one around with me everywhere I go. It definitely assists me in staying calm/still while I'm at work. I've recommended it to several friends!" — KaelynnVP
Get a set of five from Amazon for $12.99.
26. A bottle of Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, which is bound to be your fave new condiment that you put on ~everything~. Once the umami, savory, and sweet notes hit your taste buds, you'll be desperate to find the next item to which you can add this teriyaki and BBQ sauce combo.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of Bachan's Japanese barbecue sauce in action.
Bachan's is a small business that specializes in Japanese barbecue sauces.
Promising review: "Worth the hype. This is absolutely delicious and full of umami. It's so tasty on stir fry with rice and makes it taste more like hibachi. I warmed up leftover restaurant brisket in a skillet, then tossed a little of this on it at the end and let it caramelize, and it was outrageously good. The flavor is hard to describe. It's savory and salty, like the sauce that comes with Chinese dumplings, but not quite that. And there are notes of barbecue sauce, but not heavy or overly sweet." — John Flora
Here's what BuzzFeed contributor Jonathan Mazzei has to say about it: "I love this sauce! It's the perfect mix of savory, sweet, and spicy, and I've found that it works beautifully whether you're cooking with it or just using it as a last-minute topping or dipping sauce."
Get a set of two (Original + Miso) from Amazon for $23.98 (available in combo packs of different flavors).
27. A jar of Bum Bum body scrub you can add to your collection of Sol de Janeiro products. It smells just as good as the famous cream — like pistachios, salted caramel, and vanilla. 🤤 In addition to smelling delicious, the crushed cupuacu seeds and sugar crystals will help leave any rough skin feeling soft as heck annnd leave behind a cutie little ✨shimmer✨ on your skin.
Promising review: "I honestly wish I could come on here and say it's not worth the money…but it is. It's worth every penny. This body scrub is GOD tier. I don't think I'll ever be able to buy another brand again. There is not one thing I can complain about with this product. It smells great, works amazing, the packaging is cute, it stays fresh, and can be used EVERYWHERE. 100000000/10." — Gianna T
Get it from Amazon for $42.
28. Some glass suncatchers that easily hang up indoors and reflect sunlight to create magical little rainbows all over your room. You may even find yourself cuddled up under your favorite blanket, watching the soothing rainbows bounce around.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I love these, and my cats do too! When I gently spin one hung in front of a window (with the right lighting), my cats chase the rainbows around the room." — Nancy O.
"This is one of those small things that just sparks joy whenever there's a sunny day. They are surprisingly heavy and sturdy. They're also packaged beautifully, making them extremely giftable. I kept one and gave one to my mom, who put it in her car. We're both very satisfied with the purchase, and she must have mentioned how expensive they feel half a dozen times. One of those rare instances that a product that seems like a steal actually exceeds expectations." — Marissa C.
Get the three-pack from Amazon for $9.98.
29. A set of whimsical butterfly lights to make it feel like you're entering a magical botanical garden every time you go to your room.
These lights have eight modes — combination, in waves, sequential, slogs, chasing/flash, slow fade, twinkle/flash, and steady on. The remote control will save your last mode.
Promising review:"These butterfly lights were a requested Christmas present. My 10-year-old daughter loves them! These lights have been in use on and off since Christmas, and they work perfectly. She has requested another set. Will buy more." — Jamie
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available i six colors).
30. An adorable Post-It note holder purrrrfect for keeping your sticky notes easily accessible whenever inspiration strikes, and you need to write it down immediately so you don't forget. It even comes loaded with a stack of pink sticky notes, so you are ready to rock and roll.
32. A book of 642 tiny things to draw that'll inspire you to use some creativity daily without having to think too much. Instead of spending an hour deciding what you should draw, just whip this lil' guy out and fill in a few prompts. You never know what kind of work of art you're gonna draw up.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Some prompts you can expect to see include a gum wrapper, a nail art design, the last bite of a cookie, and loads of other totally random suggestions to get those creative juices flowing!
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jonathan Mazzei has this and says, "My girlfriend got me this book as a gift a few years ago, and it turned out to be even better than I expected! The prompts are super fun and help you to think outside of the box, even during those moments when you feel like you have no ideas. It's great to casually doodle in while passing time since you don't have to think of what to draw, but it also can be really helpful when brainstorming for creative projects. My girlfriend is a visual artist and graphic designer, and she loves using it to play around with ideas and make her think of things she never would have thought of without it. Plus, it's small and super portable! Highly recommend!"
Promising review: "Very tiny, so it's great to carry around. I like the prompts. They're pretty open to interpretation and great for creativity! Fun little creative exercises when you're bored or feeling stuck!" — Lexie
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
33. A dimmable and remote-controlled moon lamp to create a unique, dreamlike vibe with 16 different colors that can flash, fade, strobe, or fully illuminate.
Emma Lord / BuzzFeed
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has nothing but good things to say about this lamp, "UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top-selling products pages for so long that I was like, 'Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!' And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days, I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases."
Get it from Amazon for $16.90+ (available in six sizes).

Poppy & Pour/Etsy

25 Disney And Universal Theme Park Essentials

Hey guys! I'm Samar Hadri, a BuzzFeed shopping writer and Orlando, Florida native 🍊. I've been a Disney World *and* Universal Studios Annual Passholder for well over a decade (I may or may not have even gotten married at Disney 😅), so yeah, I'm something of a theme park expert. These are the products that I've tried and can recommend firsthand to make sure your amusement park experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible. With these products, you can feel prepared for almost any situation that pops up during a full day of trudging through the parks. First things first, a mid-size sling backpack to carry all of your essentials, while being small enough to fit in the pouch of whichever rides you love the most. With several compartments inside the bag, as well as a front pouch on the strap, you can keep everything incredibly organized to cut down on the time it takes for you to dig for your phone for spontaneous photos or sunscreen for your two-hour reapplications. Plus, it even has mesh pockets for your water bottle and umbrella! A reusable rain poncho for the buckets of water that can suddenly, without warning, drop from the Florida skies. With a long body piece and a big hooded cap, this poncho will keep you dry head to toe. It also comes with a matching carrying case so you don't have to worry about lugging a drenched poncho around the park after your excursion down a "waterfall" at Kali River Rapids in Animal Kingdom. A four-pack of cooling towels because that Florida sun can be brutal. Just soak it in some cold water at any sink/water fountain, wring it, and place it on your neck for some much-needed relief! These towels will stay chilly for several hours, saving you from having to refresh in every country you pass through in Epcot. Bonus: each towel comes with a carrying pouch and a carabiner clip, so you can just clip it onto your backpack for easy access! A Disney ear holder that clips onto your backpack for the times when your head is tired of propping up those famous Mickey ears (or new Universal headbands!), but you still want them on public display. With the ability to hold up to two ears, this strap is great for parents when your little ones might be over wearing the ears, and you don't want them to take up any space in your bag. A trendy pair of polarized sunglasses to block out the sun's rays while you're enjoying the weather.

The lovely brown color and tight weave with the string is so much better than ones I've had in the past that were woven with wire that look shabby and horrible. These are a wonderful quality for the price, to make putting up large sections of fencing more affordable. They are not completely private, as people have mentioned, but that's not what I wanted.

These are perfect and hold lots of florals; the ivy I have is already beginning to climb the trellis, and they're sturdy!! We live in a windy area, and so far, they haven't budged. Also so, so easy to put together!! Took us less than a half hour probably." —JessicaGet it from Amazon for $76.49+ (available in three sizes; clip the 10% off coupon when applicable).
