A Blogilates ponytail cap that's specifically designed for those of us with long locks of hair. (Like, hello, finally!!) The back of the hat has a wide open space that can accommodate either a high or low pony, meaning you can stylishly keep your hair off your neck AND the sun off your face all in one go.
Promising review: "I've always hated wearing hats/headbands, but decided to get this one for a trip to Hawaii. I wore it pretty much every time I went out and loved this hat. It kept my head cool and the sun out of my face. The back made it comfortable to have my hair off my neck and also allowed wind to flow through. My mom actually stole my first one, so I'm pretty sure she likes it too." —EPrice: $12.99
A rose-scented sugar scrub so you can exfoliate any lingering dry, post-winter skin to baby-soft smoothness. Not to mention, you'll be smelling as sweet as the spring blossoms.

I've run it for several allergy seasons now, and the difference is phenomenal. I feel like my house is my safe space now! I've bought one for every floor of my house. The filters are a little expensive, but they last a long time — even in a house with three dogs. Definitely recommend!" —DannaPrice: $69.99 (originally $89.99)
An easy-to-use Dermaplaning razor to help you tidy up unruly eyebrow hairs and get rid of pesky peach fuzz. Best of all, the little micro-guards will keep you from accidentally nicking yourself.

The material is so soft and feels like butter, seriously!! I will be buying every color I like lol, I already have the ivory and sage in my cart, next is blue haze. 😎" —Rebecca $18.99 (available in six colors)
A smart pet camera with a built-in treat dispenser since nothing could make you (and your pet) feel better than being able to monitor, talk to, and ~treat~ your lil' fur baby from afar.
Promising review: "I got this for my two dogs, Luna and Nola, and it's been a game-changer! Between work and everything else, I wanted something that lets me check in on them while I'm away. The video quality is great — I can see them clearly, and it helps me feel more connected to them, even when I'm not home. The treat dispenser has become their favorite part! They actually run to the camera when they hear the sound, which always makes me laugh. It's been super easy to set up and use, and for the price, I'm really happy with the value. If you're a pet parent who's looking for peace of mind, I'd definitely recommend this!" —cathyPrice: $79.99 (originally $99.99)

A firepit to level up your backyard summer hangs with some cozy warmth and ~ambience~.
Promising review: "Highly recommend! The price couldn't have been any better for this quality material, easy to assemble, consistent performance, and simple aesthetic. Comes with a cover and I like the propane placement so you don't have two pieces like other popular fire pit models. So there's no cording you have to watch for or trip over. Comes with black lava rocks which were easy to clean if needed (we got some marshmallow goop on a small area). Really happy with our purchase. Thank you!" —KmhvPrice: $139.99 (originally $299.99)

An investment-worthy Hatch Restore 3 because it makes falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning so much better. Drift off with a bedtime routine or to the constant hum of white noise (or other soundscapes), and then in the morning, a gradual "sunrise" will gently stir you from your dreams. Doesn't that sound so lovely? Well, it is.
I absolutely *love* my Hatch — and it's 100% greatly improved my mornings. I have to wake up pretty early most days, and it makes such a difference having the gradual light stir me from my slumber instead of a jarring alarm sound. I usually set the sunrise to 15 minutes in duration, but you can choose longer if you prefer a slower wake-up. The alarm sounds are also quite soothing: I opt for either wind chimes or meditative flute (literally 1000X better than the iPhone alarm choices). Plus, you can use it as a soft bedside lamp for reading or ~ambiance~ with lots of color options to choose from — the brightness level is also adjustable! Price: $169.99 (available in three colors)
A bamboo tub caddy that will bring your evening ~soak and unwind~ routine to a new level of luxury. Wine, book, candle, it'll all be right there, safely out of the water for you to enjoy in the bubbles.

Price: $15.66 (originally $24.99)
A package of 14 colored gel ink pens since literally any kind of writing becomes instantly more fun when you get to do it in pretty colored ink (even budgeting)!
Promising review: "Love these pens! This is not the first pack I've bought and won't be the last. The gel ink writes beautifully and doesn't smudge." —Katie WPrice: $13.39
