The season of flowy dresses, pastel colors, and just cheerful lil' knick-knacks has finally arrived. 🌸🌷🌺🌼
1. The Reverse Coloring Book to banish the winter blues and bring a quirky little twist to my homebodies who want a relaxing activity as they lounge on the couch with the windows cracked open. Instead of coloring within the lines, you actually add the lines — the perfect activity for those who prefer sketching over fiddling with a bunch of different colored pencils. Whimsical? Absolutely.
Amazon,
Each book includes 50 pages of watercolor art for you to add lines, along with suggestions for what to add if you want a jumping-off point. B onus: the pages are perforated, so you can easily tear them out and frame them!
Psst — if you've already tried this copy, there are newer Reverse Coloring Books from the same creator to try!
Promising review:"Changed my life. So I get anxious doing the adult coloring books. This was so much fun and made me really think outside of the box. I'm not the best at drawing, but I felt like I was when I was a kid doodling in my textbooks in school." — Carley C.
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
(Psst — check out these cult-fave black fine point pens for $8.99 on Amazon for a good doodling option!)
2. A delightfully vibrant pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings reviewers can't help but compare to Lululemon's Align leggings thanks to that buttery soft material — but, like, a lotttt cheaper. They're legit perfect for running errands, lounging around, or even hitting that squat goal at the gym — because, yeah, they're just that comfy.
Amazon
Promising review:"These are amazing quality!! I do love my pair of Lululemon leggings, but I notice that they stretch out and slide down throughout the day. These do not! They are so soft I almost feel like I am wearing nothing, but still feel very 'athletic' like they're holding everything in. When I opened the package they looked like they were going to be too short at first, but they're not, they are quite stretchy and comfortable. Highly recommend!!" — Kate
Get it from Amazon fo r $34 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 16 styles).
3. A rainbow prism suncatcher for a bit of ~spring~ magic — it projects 🌈 lil' rainbows 🌈 all over your room and brings a touch of sorcery to your home. Just hang these crystals near a window and watch your space brighten up.
Promising review:"They actually were bigger than I anticipated which was actually pretty awesome. I hung them in the window of my office and it's beautiful when they catch light. Definitely worth the money when it puts a smile on your face." — Emmy Ann
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.98.
4. A shaker of edible cocktail glitter you can just pour into any drink to bring some ✨bling✨ into your plain cocktail. Why leave the house to have a fancy night? Just tip this into your cup and add some pizzazz to your night relaxing at home.
Bakel is a small business established in 2016 that specializes in edible glitters for food and drink.
Promising review:"This glitter is so much fun. I ordered the purple one and put a pretty good amount of it in a bottle of tequila. You can use a little, and it will still look sparkly and pretty. If you want more intense color, add a little more. Definitely will order more colors!" — Gigibg
Get it from Amazon for $8.95+ (available in 17 colors).
5. A set of pastel glitter highlighters for the Type-A people out there who love to aesthetically color code their notes, minutes, journals, or books — but wanna do it with a bit of ✨sparkle. ✨After all, nothing screams spring like pastels.

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.99.
6. Plus, a set of eye-popping fine point pens so your school notes and journal entries look super colorful and organized in literally the prettiest way possible. And don't worry, it doesn't bleed through paper, so it won't accidentally cover up that biology definition that is definitely on your next exam.
Promising review:"I recently got a set of colored pins with felt tips, and they're honestly great for organizing notes and adding a pop of color to my board. The felt tips make writing smooth, and the colors are vibrant without being too overwhelming. They don't bleed through paper, which is a big plus. The pins hold well on corkboards and don't bend easily. My only complaint is that the ink runs out a little faster than expected. But overall, they're super useful for studying, planning, or just making things look more organized. I'd definitely buy them again for my workspace!" — Brianna Alexande r
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $8.99.

8. An easy breezy polka-dot wrap dress to welcome the start of spring, as well as the start of flowy dress season. As those temps start to soar higher and higher, and you realize just how free you feel skipping around in this, you'll find yourself coming back for one in every color! 🌸🌷🌺🌼
Promising review:"I absolutely love this dress. I felt beautiful in it and it was super pretty. It's really comfortable, and not see-through. I was really surprised to like this dress so much, because I struggle buying clothes online. But this dress did not disappoint. Definitely highly suggest!" — Salina
Get it from Amazon for $37.74 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 16 colors).
9. And a Janie and Jack ruffle dress because your little princess also deserves to embrace the Easter vibes this spring. 🌼🌷🐣 It's super cute, incredibly well-made, and it'll make your mini-me feel like they're starring in their very own fairytale. 🧚🏰👑
I adoreeee Janie and Jack. I have so many outfits from them because, frankly, every piece is so cute, unique, incredibly well-made, and lasts. I literally get an outfit from them for every single special occasion in my daughter's life. They're so long lasting that I was able to preserve every outfit for my younger nieces, and I myself was able to accept hand-me-downs from friends and family. It might be a bit of a splurge, but trust me, they're worth it.
Get it from Janie and Jack for $99 (available in children sizes 6M to 16).
10. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light to bring that cottagecore aesthetic to your room. It'll finally give the cozy vibe you've been aspiring to, just in time for spring. You'll feel like you're taking a nap in the Shire.
Check out a TikTok of the mushroom night-light in action.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." — 1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
11. A flower-shaped pill organizer that is the very definition of 🌺 practical meets cutesy. 🌺 The days are even detachable, so you can take a lil' heart-shaped capsule with you on your day trip.
Promising review: "Travel with ease!! Before this product, I would take all my supplement bottles with me in my purse which took up an unnecessary amount of room. Now with this product I can travel easily with all my daily supplements. Takes up minimal space in my purse and actually encourages me to take my daily supplement s. Not to mention I love the color and style. Can fit up to nine of my largest capsules." — Kaci Allen
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in five styles).
12. A lovely Secret Garden - inspired book vase for anyone who wants to feel like a romance book heroine and display their bouquet elegantly — because pretty decor is a 🎶tale as old as time. 🎶

13. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set because wiping down your blade every time you switch tasks to avoid cross-contamination is a hassle too strenuous for your dinner routine.

It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this a holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like this reviewer did!
Promising review:"This is my best buy of the month, and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. I haven't had to sharpen them yet and I've been using them pretty steadily for about a month. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives." — GWP
Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $20.36.
14. A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder so you'll never lose your keys again — now they'll be held up in the single most adorable way possible. 🎶 It's rainin' keysss. 🎶
Promising review:"So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." — D. Carter
Get it from Amazon for $7.48.
15. Tony Moly Watermelon Dew All Over Sugar Polish to exfoliate and smoothen out any dry skin, especially after shaving (ingrown hairs are the WORST), while also leaving you smelling like sugary, fruity goodness. 🍉
Amazon
This scrumptious scrub is made with watermelon extract for deep hydration, natural sugar to exfoliate the skin, and mango seed to deeply moisturize!
Promising review:"The best scrub I've ever used. Very thick scrub, easy to control where it goes because it's so thick. I haven't had any ingrown hairs since I've started using this, and my skin has been so much softer." — Madison
Get it from Amazon for $15.20.
16. A sardine tin cosmetic bag because regular ol' makeup bags are too boring, so why not spruce it up with something as salty as your personality can sometimes get?

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 10 colors).
17. An affordable lip stain set oh-so-effective, that even absolute newbies who've only just started experimenting with bold shades will adore! It's even versatile, so you can swipe it across your cheeks for a rosy blush, or put it on your eyelids to use as a pop of eyeshadow.
Promising review: "The is by far the best lip stain I ever used. It's super long-lasting and it doesn't come off when eating and drinking." — Barbara
Get a set of six from Amazon for $7.99 (available in five sets).

Promising review:"Love the colors. I have so much fun watching the colors change. Lots of compliments on the colors. Didn't chip easily. I ordered more colors." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.50.
19. A mini inflatable tube guy you can place on your desk to add a bit of quirkiness to your boring ol' work routine.
Promising review:"So much fun!! He just makes me happy. I purchased five and have given them to office staff as encouragement, and used one on a birthday table. It was a little noisy, and the vibration caused it to move around more than I'd like so I set it on a nonskid drawer liner. I recommend purchasing a separate AC adapter. He's much more … energized." — Android
Get it from Amazon for $11.66.
20. An iconic, breathable sleeveless wide-leg jumpsuit that'll make you feel like running around a tropical Greek island singing "🎶💸Money, money, money.💸🎶". Oh honey, honey, you'll love this 'fit. 🌊🌴
Promising review:"I'm really happy with this jumpsuit. The knit fabric is soft and feels good. The design is cute and there are pockets. I love how it flows when I walk. The only thing I would love is if it were much longer. Other than the length, it's a roomy jumpsuit that I think looks great. I' ll be wearing this this spring and summer. I really like it. Highly recommend." — Elizabeth Petruskie
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 21 colors).
21. Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, so you can smell like a walking, talking tropical vacation with notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla. This lil' jar of paradise has a caffeine-rich guarana extract formula, which helps tighten and smooth your skin — all while leaving you scented like sunshine all day long. 🌴☀️🍹
Amazon
Promising review:"Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I'm not usually a sucker for marketing but this was so worth it." — Kristen
Get them all from Amazon: the original tightening Bum Bum Cream for $22, the collagen-boosting Elastic-Cream for $22, and the brightening and smoothing Bom Dia Cream for $22.
22. Plus, Sol de Janeiro's Hair And Body Fragrance Mist, because you'll want to carry that tropical fragrance everywhere you go — without the need to overspend on an expensive bottle of perfume from your local Macy's.
Promising review: "The hype off TikTok is real about this scent. It's very warm and vanilla smelling. Almost like a beachy vibe. I hate how no one would give me any kind of explanation on how it smelled, but glad I jumped on the band wagon with this one." — Karli Bullins
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in five other scents).
23. A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel you can use to feel like an elf in a fantasy novel concocting a potion while you funnel your coffee, wine, or baking ingredients.
Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the magic mushroom funnel in action.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It's beyond cute and really great quality. I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" — Abbey Klem
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
24. A bag of freeze-dried sour Skittles because normal sour Skittles are great, but the same taste with a lighter, crunchier texture is a snack unlike any other. After all, spring is the season of new beginnings, so why not begin with a new treat?
Space Age Snacks is a small business that specializes in small batch freeze-dried candy.
Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Skittles normally taste alrighy, but having them freeze dried really made the flavors POP, and genuinely I feel like they had more flavor than normal Skittles. (Then again, that might just be my head playing it up knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.) Very delicious." — John Blake
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (and check out the rest of their freeze-dried candy for more options).
25. A reviewer-beloved and breathable duvet cover set with dozens of different colors to choose from so you can have a cozy, relaxing sleep every night while also being the perfect addition to your aesthetic bedroom.
Promising review:"This duvet cover is great! I have now purchased it in two colors. Great value for the price — it is incredibly soft, easy to clean, wrinkle free, and great quality. It's breathable and not too warm — it actually feels on the cooler side which is wonderful because you can get warm but never too hot. I ordered a few duvet covers thinking this would be my least favorite as it was the cheapest, but instead I sent back the others to keep this one and bought a new color once the seasons switched over. Would definitely recommend!" — Leah
"I follow this TikTok influencer who is famous for her satisfying home/organization aesthetic. She has this duvet cover on her Amazon storefront and knew I had to have it! This is a great duvet. I love the button closure compared to a zippe r. Soft texture. Would highly recommend this duvet!" — Morgan Ashley

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

Amazon
Promising review:"Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts as I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off.
