Tell me, Princess, when did you last let your heart decide... to treat yourself to some fun new products.
1. A HappyLight sunlamp with seemingly magical properties to help improve your energy levels and mood. It's a no-brainer buy for anyone who has become trapped inside a deep, dark cave after trying to snag a magical lamp out of it. Oops.
Amazon
Read more about sunlamps and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) at Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic.
Promising review:"I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with, with the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It's very easy to use and to replace bulbs." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price).
2. Gradient tempered glass for your iPhone — it'll act as a privacy screen so the Nosy Nancy who sits in the cubicle next to you won't be able to see you're listening to a Disney hits soundtrack, will help filter blue light, protect your screen from scratches, and adds a little bit of *~flair~* to your phone in the process.
www.amazon.com
Psst: Read more about the effects of blue light and eye strain at UC Davis Health and the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Promising review:"I am so glad I ordered this privacy screen. It is perfect, easy on the eyes and aesthetically pleasing. My partner could not see my screen while seated next to me which I was thankful for since I was finishing up some last minute Christmas shopping." — Amazon Customer
Get a set of two for the iPhone 14 Pro Max from Amazon for $18.99 (also available for iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max).
3. Mirrored cat-eye sunglasses I imagine Princess Jasmine would get a lot of use out of in sunny Agrabah. Plus, reviewers are actually obsessed with them — they have over 12,000 5-star ratings! They're reminiscent of styles designed by Dior but so inexpensive you won't bawl your eyes out if you accidentally sit on them. 😅
Promising review:"I love these. They remind me of my Dior glasses. They are adorable. They just look expensive, and apparently, they have polarization — good sun protection. They are very comfortable and functional." — Nicole Brennan
Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in nine styles).
4. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in a variety of delectable scents that'll *totally* take that kiss you're going to share with the street-rat-turned-prince to the next level 😘.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I adore this gloss in all flavors. The feel is wonderful. It's not sticky or greasy. The scents are all lovely, and it gives the perfect amount of sheen. It's my go-to!" — Marci Jones
Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in eight scents).
5. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," a must-have sensory fidget toy for anyone who needs something to do with their hands when things get seriously tense between Aladdin and Genie. This lil' squish block is super satisfying to play with and reviewers love that it isn't sticky (no gross debris to try to clean).
www.instagram.com, www.amazon.com
Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets.
Promising review: "Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing. The included dish is a great touch — it keeps it clean and gives it a dedicated spot to rest." — AZMOM
Get it from Amazon for $7.75 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple, and it gets selected for you at random)!
Check out the rest of the Needoh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront!
6.
"Plaud," an AI voice recorder and notes generator that uses ChatGPT to summarize audio — forget wasting another second handwriting a sticky note that'll only get lost in the bottom of your bag, never to see the light of day. You won't even need to manually open your Notes app to type up to-do lists! This tool is basically going to become the Iago to your Jafar, the Abu to your Aladdin, the Raja to your Jasmine...you see where I'm going with this.
Promising review: "Love this product! Very user-friendly, and the app is easy to navigate. Can transcribe and summarize meeting notes in a couple of minutes and allows you to choose what layout (meeting notes, transcript, mind map) you would like. Allows you to edit notes if needed and replay the meeting. This handy device can record phone calls. Just place it in the holder and attach it to your phone, and switch the button to the phone option for those on-the-go phone conferences. Very helpful and convenient!!" — Rachele
Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in two colors).
7. Plus, a reusable smart notebook to seamlessly combine your love of handwritten notes with the ease of taking them digitally. (Here's to you, Rocketbook app!) As you write in this seemingly magical notebook, your notes will *also* be recorded in the app. Is it 2025 or 3025?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This set includes the notebook, a Pilot Frixion pen, and a microfiber cloth to wipe it all away. Once wiped away, they'll be transported through cloud services with the Rocketbook app, which is available for both iOS and Android.
Promising review:"Love my Rocketbook Fusion! I thought this looked cool, and so I ordered one. Then I joined a group on social media that is for owners of Rocketbooks, and my brain has been blown. There is soooooo much one can do with these notebooks! I love having it to take notes while I'm on a Zoom call for work. I am more engaged, and I process more when I'm taking notes in writing. I've always had stacks of notebooks. Small ones for different projects at work. Another for personal thoughts. Another for a nonprofit I'm on the board of. Of course a planner or two for good measure. Now I have one. One thin notebook. And several fun pens... Now I can meal plan, project track, journal, and take notes all in one place! Rocketbook also puts out some great videos with ideas on how to personalize the pages for your individual needs. Possibilities are endless!" — Nikola Sievert
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).
8. A portable HP photo printer for anyone who has been super lazy about finishing up the album dedicated to their Disney vacation — no need to log onto another site to order photos or, gasp, go pick them up at an actual store. This gadget will promptly print all your pics directly from your phone, plus each photo has a sticky backing that'll make them easy to pop into a book.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was tired of running to the store for a few pictures and waiting for half an hour. This is what I decided to try, and it was super easy — a no-brainer. I loved it, and it didn't take much effort to make a project for my kids." — Monrudee kavan
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in five colors and as a starter bundle).
9. Venus Visage teeth whitening pens — apply it directly to your teeth, let it sit a minute or two, hum "Friend Like Me" for a bit (because this tool is DEFINITELY about to be considered a new bestie), and enjoy your fresh-looking pearly whites.
www.amazon.com
You can use each pen about 20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades.
Promising review:"I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." — vicki houska
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.95.
10. A Dawn Platinum Powerwash dish spray that would be worthy of taking up one of your three Genie wishes — it comes in various delectable scents and works wonders on caked-on food and grease. All you have to do is spritz, let it sit, then rinse it off! Reviewers are obsessed with it — it has over 89,000 5-star reviews. (WOW!!!)
www.amazon.com
I use this stuff constantly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes cleaning burnt bits and pieces much easier. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! I recently swapped from the "fresh" scent to the "apple" one, and wow, it smells delicious. It also works great for removing stains on clothes (I've seen it remove coffee from a white tee with my very own eyes).
Promising review:"This makes it so easy to keep my sink clear of dishes. I use it constantly throughout the day. Every time I use a dish, I give it a quick spray, wash it, rinse it, and put it in a dish drainer. It is wonderful. I wish it was a little cheaper as I'm constantly using it; other than that, I love it." — Linda W.
Get a pack of four Amazon for $16.88 (available in four scents).
11. A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's smelly hair (or tiger fur, if you're Princess Jasmine).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
ChomChom is a small business.
Promising reviews:"I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. It should be in raffle baskets, giveaways, and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." — Meowser
Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets!
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors).
12. Luigi's sink and drain plunger — a miniature tool you'll pat yourself on the back for buying when your bathroom sink finally exclaims, "I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU AND YOUR HAIR SHEDDING!" I can only imagine this would be a regular argument between Aladdin and Jasmine — she arguably has the most fabulous Disney Princess hair.
www.amazon.com
Please note how hard I'm trying not to make a Super Mario Bros. plumbing joke right now.
Promising review:"Y'all, this thing is amazing! My kitchen sink was completely clogged for four days. I've been trying to clear the drain with a different sink plunger that I already had and it didn't do diddly squat. I was about to give up and call a plumber. Then I decided to order this. It completely cleared the drain in like three minutes. So then I decided to take it to the bathroom sink that had been draining extremely slowly, and within a minute, I had the water running so quickly and smoothly again. I got the small one, and it's the perfect size for kitchen and bathroom sinks." — JNeen
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
13. A rapid egg cooker with the ability to make hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and omelets — which is about two more kinds than I know how to make on my own. Shh, don't tell anyone I'm about to rely on this gadget to make it seem like I know how to cook. With over 101,000 5-star reviews, you certainly can't go wrong.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"We bought this in 2020. Used it almost every day without any issues, and finally, after three years, it's time to replace it. Such an amazing product to last so long." — Shal
Check out our deep dive into the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker here.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two sizes and 10 colors).
14. A veggie chopper because none of us have time to cry at the club anymore — and by "club," I mean your kitchen, and by "us," I mean myself (I'm reserving it for when Aladdin sets Genie free at the end of the movie). Anyways, this baby will dice up anything you throw in it at record speed. Chop, chop!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.97 (available in four colors).
15. A microwave pasta cooker that'll provide you with perfectly al dente noodles with the least effort possible — add some butter and parm to those babies, plop yourself in front of the couch, hit "play" on the "Prince Ali" scene, and dig in. 🍝
Promising review:"I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I like spaghetti with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient, and I don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps and a big cleanup afterward. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly-measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap." — Smilin Sam
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
16. A COSRX reparative snail mucin essence whose creation might actually have been someone's wish from an all-powerful sorcerer — it soothes damaged skin, repairs dark spots, absorbs quickly, and will leave your face feeling delightfully moisturized.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Um...WOW! I have used so many products to help with my dry, red, and inflamed skin. During the winter, it is so hard to keep my skin moisturized throughout the day. Within two days, I saw such a huge difference. So calming and gives you a nice, moisturized glow. I feel so much better knowing my skin is healing. I will use this in my routine for the rest of my life!" — Christina A.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
17. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo — it's benzene-free, comes in five hair colors, and will be your savior when, oops, you've overslept again before work because you stayed up late watching '90s Disney movies again. Sleepyhead? Certainly not you!!!
www.amazon.com
The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you want to refresh and then shake out the excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.
Promising review: "This stuff works better than Batiste at absorbing oil. I have very wavy, fine, greasy hair, and I can go an additional day without washing it now." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades).
18. A tea tree oil body wash jam-packed with mint, aloe, and tea tree soap to help moisturize skin and soothe common skin irritations (not to mention it also smells DELIGHTFUL thanks to the addition of jojoba oil, coconut oil, and olive oil). Here's to hoping they're selling this in the Agrabah markets so Jasmine can get her hands (literally) on it.
Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with acne from Mayo Clinic
Promising review:"I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week, and it's made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc., but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" — Blackburn's
Get it from Amazon for $13.77.
19. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers that'll save you when a big ol' pimple pops up the night before the date you've been excited about all week (and you SHOULD be — it's with that cute guy from the market who flies around on a magic carpet with his pet monkey!).
BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis is a fan. "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past, and Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls, which I truly, truly appreciate. For more deets, check out my full Mighty Patch review!"
Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of The Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, which has evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strip Mighty Patches, and more!
Promising review:" Using this product has been a game-changer. It's as if the adhesion of it literally pulls all of the bad stuff from the spot, and you'll know when it's time to remove it when it turns up white on your sticker — so easy to remove, and my spot has gone drastically down. I'm on my fourth box, or maybe fifth? They're my go-to at the slightest spot I get to try to nip it in the bud. Might I add that my hormonal cystic acne spots have been majorly suppressed by these — as soon as I feel one coming on, I take a hot washcloth to the area and put a sticker on overnight for a couple of nights, and the deep underneath, feeling of that spot is gone. I love these so much, and you will too." — Deborah Hart
Get a pack of 36 stickers from Amazon for $11.69.
20. A LilyAna Naturals eye cream designed to decrease puffiness and dark circles, so if you've been up far too late crying over the fact your dad says you must marry a prince, this cream will be there for you come morning.
LilyAna Naturals is a small business!
Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60-years-old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and have dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
21. A pack of Biodance overnight collagen masks that'll work harder than Aladdin trying his best to impress Jasmine as Prince Ali. Apply it before you hit the hay to reap the benefits (firmer skin, more elasticity, minimized pores) while you dream.
www.amazon.com
Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week.
Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.
22. A winged eyeliner stamp because you and I know you simply don't have the time (or patience) to try and flawlessly recreate Princess Jasmine's look. Let this baby do the work for you so you can move on to other things...like finding a genie to grant you three wishes. 😅
Promising review:"Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived, and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise, I put the left cat eye on first, and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean, crisp line. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." — LadyMeow
Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).
23. A breathtaking essential oil diffuser you'd likely find in The Cave of Wonders a la Aladdin. It's so gorgeous Jafar would probably try to steal it for himself.
(According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.)
Promising review:"This really is a game changer for my space. It covers a really large area and smells so good. Plus, this holds so much water. This is the perfect size to sit on the end table in the family room. You can hardly tell it's there, but when you do, it's a beautiful display." — Customer
Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (clip the $9 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in two styles).
24. Beckham Hotel Collection bed pillows I bet Aladdin and Abu would've appreciated having them on hand when they were sleeping in their rock-hard hideaway. They didn't — but you can certainly pick 'em up to comfortably enjoy your umpteenth viewing of the movie.
Promising review:"I purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" — T. Rune
Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing).
25. SweatBlock wipes Aladdin certainly could've used after dodging palace guards left and right — and all for some bread! These babies are prescription strength and designed to take on hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating.
Amazon
This stuff is VERY strong, so if you have sensitive skin, consider doing a spot test before going all-in.
Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat. I was sweating through my shirt on my back — BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $19.99.
26. A back pain relief gel pack you can wear hot *or* cold for anyone who feels it is way too soon in their life to constantly be muttering "ouuuuuch, my back!" (I'm talking to YOU, fellow '90s kids). Reviewers swear by it for help with relief of lower back, sciatic, coccyx, and tailbone pain — might as well give it a try, right?
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Each of these comes equipped with two gel packs, so you can alternate between hot and cold whenever you need!
Promising review: "This was perfect for my sore back. It comes with two inserts. That is nice because I was able to keep one in the fridge and the other to warm up in the microwave. The belt they go in works great for lower back pain. I could wear it at work when my back was bad." — Brandie Collins
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
27. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" to prevent your drinks from spilling all over your remote when you crack up laughing at the Genie's hilarious impressions — it has not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIIIIIIIVE cup holder spots available!
Amazon
Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers.
Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.
Promising review:"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc., close by, even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works, and I love it, so money well spent!" — Amber
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors).
28. The Wand, a handheld filter designed to remove the histamines and sulfites in alcohol that may trigger headaches and hangovers. This lil' gadget will have you singing out "a whooooole new woooooorld" the morning after a wine-soaked Disney karaoke night.
www.amazon.com
PureWine is a small business! Read more about sulfite allergies and wine at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine. I was very skeptical, but it works like a dream! Thank you, PureWine. This is really a breakthrough for me." — Penny Froh
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.98.
29. A Kitsch heatless curling set — wrap your hair into it before hitting the hay, remove it when you wake up, and then stare at yourself and your Disney Princess hair. It's as easy as that — no heat needed!
Kitsch is a small business!
Promising review:"I was thoroughly impressed at how well this worked!!! My daughter has very long thick hair and I did not honestly expect this to work as well as it did!!! I am now going to purchase one for myself!!! Highly recommend!!!!" — Steven Schoorens
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in nine styles).
30. The JVN no heat air dry cream if you accidentally spent your morning watching Aladdin sequels and no longer have the time to sit with a hair dryer — this can be used on damp or dry hair to help transform your look from frizzy to fabulous.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"After 20+ years of trying to find a product to help me manage my curly hair, Jonathan Van Ness has done it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. First, it smells absolutely amazing and makes me feel like I am using a high-quality, salon-quality product. I love how well it manages frizz and how soft it makes my hair feel." — Samantha Laquinta
Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes).
