Promising review:"I've always loved coloring, but it had been many years since I last did it. I bought this book to unwind and relax while painting, and it was a great choice! It offers a variety of scenes, making the experience even more engaging. It allows you to explore creativity and experiment with different color combinations from your marker set. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a calming and artistic escape!" — Ally

www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I am loving these soft and cozy socks! I love keeping my house nice and cold and these are the best! Perfect neutral color goes with everything, and are great for lounging around! You won't regret this purchase especially during those cool fall nights and colder winter days!" — Unapologetically Lexi

4. A set of delightfully ~~tingly~~ self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint perfect for anyone whose recent step count is "too many." Nothing like a lil' self-care on those aching feet to lift your spirits!
Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action.
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!
Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018
Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97.
5. And a decadent heated foot massager to take you to another spiritual PLANE when you're relaxing at the end of a long day. This deep kneading shiatsu foot massager comes with three kneading styles and three intensity levels to revive those tired puppies you call feet, and help spread that calm to your whole body.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Love it!! What a great massager. I use it every day!!! It feels so good while using it and even afterwards. My feet continue to feel the effects. Totally recommend this." — Irene B.
Get it from Amazon for $124.97 (clip the $40 off coupon on the product page for this price).
6. Teeccino, a sleep-deprived coffee lover's savior — this caffeine-free, acid-free strong herbal blend steeps like regular tea, but somehow mimics the taste of coffee so brilliantly that you'll get all the flavor and satisfaction without the insomnia of a late-night cuppa.
Teeccino is a small business that specializes in coffee-like herbal teas
I love tea in the morning but I always want something that tastes strong and bitter to go with my dessert at night, but decaf coffee felt too risky, since there's still a bit of caffeine in it. Enter Teeccino, which tastes miles better than decaf coffee, and is fully caffeine-free. It's so rich that it feels like it has notes of chocolate in it, and so satisfying that I had to check the label a zillion times just to make sure I hadn't misread it, and it secretly was coffee. Nope — just a very delicious faux coffee beverage that pairs well with every dessert in my pantry.
Get a 25-count of single-serve bags from Amazon for $14.98 (available in other sizes).
Check out the Teeccino Amazon storefront for a TON of other herbal caffeine-free flavors and varieties!
7. A two-piece lounge set that's inspired by a popular mall brand's version, and so cozy and elevated that even looking at it makes me feel smug and snuggly at the same time?? (Is "smuggly" a valid emotion now???) This is perfect both for lounging around the house and as an easy "I need to be put together, but out the door fast" outfit option.
Promising review:"I have received many compliments on this two-piece se t. They wash up nicely and I air dry them as most of my clothes. My younger daughter loved it so much that she often steals it to wear. I can dress it up or dress it down Looks great with my Adidas Sambas or the Dolce Vita slides. Great functionality as you can wear it to relax and watch Netflix all day long or go shopping or travel. Great value for the money the material is an appropriate thickness where it is not too heavy, but yet gives you some warmth." — rupert
Get it from Amazon for $52.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 12 colors).
8. Deeptalk, a compact three-year prompted gratitude journal loaded with quick, gentle check-in prompts that won't overwhelm you like a lot of other journals. It's undated, so you can start it any day you want, and then as the years pass you can reflect on how your mindsets are changing and evolving over time.
Promising review: "I'm a stay at home mom, and I've found myself in a slump lately not knowing much about me anymore. I REALLY love this book. Since the moment I've opened it, I've loved every thing about it. It has helped me actually sit down at night, and think (with the questions) when it comes to my life, and where I am in life right now. I love answering the questions, and being able to check off my mood for the day. I can't wait to see how much my life/mindset changes during the year. I also love that it's a hard cover book so I don't have to worry about it bending up in my purse." — Hope M.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).
9. A container of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust so absurdly delicious that all food will just become a mere canvas for putting Cinnadust on. Reviewers use this on everything from coffee to toast to yogurt to fries to popcorn to sweet potatoes to ice cream to — you know what, I'll let you decide on your cinnajourney for yourself.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
10. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes.
Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ
I bought these at the last second for a flight when I lost my way more expensive sleep mask, and can safely say "good riddance" to that old pair — I love this version way more. It's perfectly contoured so it doesn't rub my eyes or mess up my makeup if I'm traveling, the weight is satisfying without being distracting, and it adjusts super quickly and easily without every getting caught in my hair. Also the pink is just absolutely precious, so my little Glinda x Barbie heart is most pleased to show if off.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sets).
11. And a mini weighted blanket perfect for people who want a quick dose of calm and relaxation, but don't want to overheat or commit to the whole heavy shebang of a full-size weighted blanket. This one's the perfect size to easily drape over yourself on the couch.
Read more about how to choose a weight and what these blankets help with and how from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I love weighted blankets, but I always get way too hot with them. This is perfect because I can cover up the half of my body that I want the weighted feeling on while the rest do my body gets to stay cool. It is perfect for me." — Patricia Newt
Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in three weights and four colors).

Check out a TikTok of the gaming pillow in action.
Promising review:"I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote. It's so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." — Jenn Butterfield
Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in three styles).
13. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" to keep everything steady on your bed when you are one silly little beverage away from accidentally turning your bed into a LaCroix swamp. This will not only keep all your "bed rot" accessories upright and on hand, but has expandable cup holes to fit mugs, water bottles, and snacks, with an insulating foam that keeps drinks hot or cold for longer periods.

It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber

14. A facial steamer that's basically as close as you can get to bringing a mini hot spring right into your home. This uses a specialized nano-ionic steam to gently and far more effectively penetrate the skin, giving you the glowy refresh and oh-so-calming spa vibe that you deserve, for a FRACTION of the price.
This also comes with a stainless steel tool kit for skin extractions, but be sure to use those only if you've been properly educated on them to avoid damaging your skin!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion and it opened up my pores too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me and I highly recommend it." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in two colors).
15. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's Santal 33, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it. If you're in the market for a signature scent for your space this fall, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend.
www.amazon.com
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" — Cristina Bertolotto

Promising review: " Very soothing. I love these eye masks. I don't use them regularly, but they are very warm and soothing if I have a headache or just need a little self-care. My mother uses them regularly, and I recommended them to a friend who fell in love with them as well." — mayla23
Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $16.99 (available in nine styles and scents).
17. And a heated eye massager with so many bells and whistles, it's worth the investment and *then* some — not only does it come with five different massage modes and a 15-minute timer, but it has Bluetooth music so you can vibe with your eyes *and* your ears. Reviewers swear by this to help combat eye strain, headaches, puffy under-eye circles, and dry eyes, and insomnia.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon's must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn't interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $65.99+ (clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in three colors).

Get it from Amazon for $76.99 (available in three colors).
19. And a bottle of sensitive skin-friendly Honest Company lavender bubble bath reviewers are obsessed with because the bubbles are GINORMOUS and super long-lasting. Rumor has it Glinda came down in a bubble made from this very bubble bath blend.
Promising review: "We love this brand and have been using this bubble bath for years. Just two squirts fills out tubs with a ton of bubbles. I love the ingredients list and it gives off a pleasant scent. Definitely will continue using this bubble bath for years to come!" — Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four scents).
20. A PopLite personal popcorn maker with a built-in serving bowl that will give you eight cups of movie theater-quality popcorn in two mere mortal minutes. Reviewers especially love that the popcorn doesn't burn, and the machine doesn't leave unpopped kernels like the usual microwave brands.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
21. A convertible folding sofa bed so obscenely cozy that once you claim it as your reading nook/nap corner, you may never pry yourself out of it again. Is "sofa bed" a legal address? Asking for a friend.
Promising review: "This is such a comfortable chair or bed! I was very happy with my purchase. You won't go wrong if you are looking for comfort or if you need to even save space. I highly recommend this." — danny
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in eight colors).
22. And a big ole roll up plush futon that Future You will use in SO many delightful ways — this can serve as chic decor, a place to lounge or read, a spare mattress for guests, and, of course, a nest for pets who see any comfy thing come into the home and immediately think, "MINE."
Amazon
Promising review:"So first thing I want to point out, it's a lot firmer than one would expect given its roll away nature. Quality seems to be good, and having tested it for a month now, it is the best sleep I have ever had. I dread sleeping on my main bed now. Would I get another one? You bet! I'm already thinking of it." — Paul Carpenter
Get a queen-sized one from Amazon for $99.99 (also available in Twin, Full, King, small single, and cot).
23. A pair of pretty pastel wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price.
iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories.
I own a pair of these, and 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: "These headphones surprised me. I thought they were not going to be as great because of how cheap they are, but the bass is amazing! The noise cancellation is so good that I can't hear anything. The volume is loud and sound quality is a win, and just how I like it. Very snug and comfy, recommend! Thanks TikTok, lol :)." — Chevelle Revero
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).
24. A towel warmer the entire family will welcome into your home like it's the newest (and new favorite) member — there's nothing quite like stepping into a warm robe, toasty PJs, or a cozy warm blanket, and with this machine, you can experience it *all*.
Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $115.
25. A pair of lightweight, entirely waterproof cloud pillow slippers for anyone whose feet are pretty little princesses who need to be pampered at all times. These are near weightless, but have a cushioned, thick sole that absorbs impact on hard floors and surfaces. Reviewers with arthritis and plantar fasciitis also swear by these for alleviating foot pain!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Feels like you're walking on a cloud. I've had these for two years and they still feel the same as when I got them. The color is identical to the picture on your screen and they feel like heaven. The price can't be beat." — The Unordinary Mom
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women's sizes 4–15 and men's sizes 3–16 and 16 colors).
26. A lil' flat cat heating pad you can cook up in the microwave for some much needed relief from cramps or just the chill in the air.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This was so much better than I anticipated. The quality is really nice and there is a cover that you can remove and wash. It is soft and comfortable and comes in the cutest little box. So cute and functional. Heat is a humid heat but not too intense right out of the microwave." — brittany
Get it from Amazon for $17.69 (available three sizes and four other styles).
27. A set of wildly popular moisture-wicking double-brushed microfiber sheets with a softness so luxurious that you'll be like, "Cotton whomst??" Reviewers especially love that the "cooling" effect of these is no joke, particularly for people in hot climates or people experiencing night sweats and hot flashes.
LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets.
Promising review: 'LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ' — Shannon Warfel
"Super soft, great quality, good price. Saw these advertised on TikTok and had them sitting in my cart for months. My sister bought a set and when I felt how soft, I immediately bought them." — Donna Baker
Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in sizes Twin—California King, with deep pockets, and in 40 styles).
28. Plus, a "holy grail" Coop Home Goods pillow designed for side, back, *and* stomach sleepers to get the best shut-eye of their lives.

You need this in your bedroom." — MT
Get it from Amazon for $79+ (available in two sizes and three shapes).
29. An oh-so-sweet hummingbird lamp with three brightness levels and a touch sensor that reviewers love using as a reading light, a wind-down light, or a nursery light. Bonus: it also functions as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its head.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the bird night-light in action.
Promising review:"This little bird is truly a gem. You tap on its head to get three different brightness of lighting. Works great as a night-light or to have on during the day as a decor for your table or end table. I love that it comes with a charger. No need to worry about having the right battery size. Will buy as gifts for friends and family!" — Linda S.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four colors and two sizes).
30. An electric heated mattress pad that might be just proof that humans CAN biologically hibernate?? Because it would simply take too much effort to ever leave something so perfectly toasty again. It comes with timed auto-shutoffs and 10 heat settings, with dual controls for the queen and king sizes so two people can each set the temp *just* to their liking.
Promising review: "We live in Wisconsin, where it gets very cold at night. We like to crack the bedroom windows open at night because we prefer a cold room to sleep in. But this makes getting in bed with freezing cold sheets brutal. Not anymore! This mattress pad is a game-changer! Turning the mattress pad on before getting in bed makes all the difference in the world; no more freezing cold sheets. The dual controls are great since I like my side warmer than my husband does his side. The mattress pad is soft and comfortable; you cannot feel the wires at all. It has nice deep pockets that fit on our mattress and memory foam pad very nicely." — Linda Stranzl
Get a queen-sized pad from Amazon for $74.95+ (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in sizes Twin–California King).

Joe Flacco talks about 'embarrassing' TikTok dances: 'Be an adult'

Joe Flacco is the elder statesman of the Cleveland Browns quarterback room. Having just turned 40 in January, Flacco has morphed into the "back in my day guy" and is now just one step away from telling the young whippersnappers to get off his lawn. Flacco has embraced that youthful energy in the twilight of his NFL career, taking the opportunity to pose for a fun photo at media day with rookie, Dillon Gabriel. Advertisement Regardless, he continued to provide plenty of entertainment for the media following Wednesday's minicamp practices, turning the session into a chat about social media, TikTok and posting dancing videos online. Flacco began discussing Twitter, now known as X, as it has evolved into a primary source of news. "The difference now is, everybody's getting their stuff from there, and it's treated a little bit more seriously because that is the main news source," Flacco said, via 92.3 The Fan's Daryl Ruiter. "You still have the same thing you always had, which is a million different opinions, but it kind of blends your actual news source with a bunch of other stuff." The quarterback went on to say that Instagram is the only social media platform he's used and made one thing clear –don't expect him to show up in a TikTok dancing video anytime soon. Advertisement "No TikTok dances," Flacco said. "The fact that people want to get on their phones and show people. That's embarrassing! You're an adult. Be an adult. I can't wrap my head around that." He followed up with some advice for the parents. "I get it, you have kids and you wanna have fun with your kids," Flacco added. "Like, have fun with your kids in private." Flacco appears to be no fan of the current social media landscape, but he also extended his media availability to discuss the good old days. While he wasn't walking up and down the rolling hills in 10 feet of snow to school, the quarterback did end up speaking about players who think offseason activities are too hard in the modern NFL. Advertisement "We're out there for an hour 15 minutes and guys think it's hard," Flacco said via Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein, referencing the two-a-days that used to be commonplace in the NFL. He went on to add that organized team activities (OTAs) used to be over two hours, highlighting just how much has changed since he entered the league in 2008. In other words, Flacco was in a reminiscing mood as the Super Bowl champion prepares for his 18th season in the league.

"No TikTok dances," Flacco said. "The fact that people want to get on their phones and show people. That's embarrassing! You're an adult. Be an adult. I can't wrap my head around that." He followed up with some advice for the parents. "I get it, you have kids and you wanna have fun with your kids," Flacco added. "Like, have fun with your kids in private." Flacco appears to be no fan of the current social media landscape, but he also extended his media availability to discuss the good old days. While he wasn't walking up and down the rolling hills in 10 feet of snow to school, the quarterback did end up speaking about players who think offseason activities are too hard in the modern NFL. "We're out there for an hour 15 minutes and guys think it's hard," Flacco said via Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein, referencing the two-a-days that used to be commonplace in the NFL. Old Guy Joe Flacco laughs at players who think today's OTAs are hard: 'We're out there for an hour 15 minutes and guys think it's hard.' — Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) June 11, 2025 He went on to add that organized team activities (OTAs) used to be over two hours, highlighting just how much has changed since he entered the league in 2008. In other words, Flacco was in a reminiscing mood as the Super Bowl champion prepares for his 18th season in the league.

The Best Last-Minute Father's Day Gifts

Father's Day is this Sunday, June 15, which means that this is the week to either put the finishing touches on your 30th 'coupon book for free hugs,' or make this the year that you actually order a smokeless fire pit on time to help his s'mores fantasies come to life. Dads are surprising creatures. I can comfortably call my own a man of habit, which certainly works in my favor when I'm trying to buy him a present; he likes listening to the blues, chopping firewood, and hammering out chicken schnitzel, in that order. Every once in a while, however, he will put down the meat tenderizer and say something like, 'I sure would love to order bees for the yard' that reminds me that people can always surprise us (and those people can take Cornell's virtual beekeeping classes). If your food-loving dad or dad-like figure is anything like mine, he probably loves kits, gadgets, accessories, and tools that improve accuracy, comfort, and general flair. In layman's terms: Send him a pastrami sandwich kit from Langer's Deli, and a UV50+-proof hat to rock while barbecuing this summer. Every dad is different, but it feels fair to say that so many could benefit from a thick kneeling pad for tending to their garden, or owning a kaleidoscopic margarita machine — by none other than Jimmy Buffet's (pour one out) Margaritaville brand — to show off with their buds. Don't freak out if you have procrastinated on your Father's Day shopping until now (you probably learned procrastination from him, anyway). Instead, sip some Sleepytime Tea and check out this curation of dad-worthy, food-obsessed gifts that ship in time for the big day, or require zero shipping at all — these will get to Pops in time, if you move fast. If you hit the holy procrastinator-shopping trifecta of Amazon, Wayfair, or Goldbelly, there's still time to ship a Stanley flask, smokeless fire pit, or a flight of doughnuts that spells 'Best Dad Ever' to your pops. Amazon is hiding some surprisingly chic gifts from the likes of Field Company (think, lightweight cast-iron skillet sets); Wayfair offers 2-day shipping and is also having an outdoor sale with savings of up to 50 percent off; and Goldbelly has an entire Father's Day collection with chicken and waffles, Philly cheesesteaks, and desserts that can ship overnight. What's that? It's the eve of Papa's Day, and you haven't had time to whittle him that soup spoon? Luckily for all of us, there are so many cool digital gifts for food-loving dads that require little to no shipping whatsoever; MasterClass is offering 50 percent off memberships for Father's Day, and is brimming with all kinds of food- and drink-centric classes from Thomas Keller, Alice Waters, and so many other James Beard-nominated chefs; Uncommon Goods, aka the slingers of cast-iron garlic roasters and hot sauce tossed peanuts also offers video-based, interactive live classes or 'experiences,' all of which ship supplemental goodies, such as spices, to the recipient. Finally, when in doubt, there's beauty in getting your dad to God's country (Williams Sonoma and/or REI) with a digital gift card. All classes billed annually. All classes billed annually.
