Promising reviews: "I am absolutely in love with these tiny little books. There is no way that I can do one page a day. I do five pages a day and will buy all the seasonal little books I can afford. My 2026 year suddenly got a little brighter. Thank you for these tiny little bits of micro joys. Keep up the good work. I plan on turning them into stickers once I finish coloring them. I will add these stickers to my snail mail and all my planners and journals." —Maria

Promising review: "Bought this mainly for the novelty and honestly it’s way more fun than I expected. The photos have that retro digital look without trying too hard, and it’s tiny enough to clip on a bag or keys. Super easy to use — point, click, done. Don’t expect DSLR quality obviously, but for casual snapshots and messing around with friends it’s perfect. Ended up taking more photos with this than my phone at a party just because it made everyone laugh. Worth it for the vibes alone." —hunter

I've been a member for months now and *kinda* thought I'd already have skedaddled by now. (I'm gonna be REALLY honest and say I signed up when they were doing a free bookish hat promo.) But you know what? I LOVE picking out the book each month. It makes me slow down and consider what's *actually* on my TBR and what I would like to add to it. LOVE. 

And I'm not alone! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Samantha Wieder says: "I initially joined Book of the Month three years ago because I wanted to read People We Meet on Vacation and my local library had a waitlist. I thought I'd sign up for one month and cancel my subscription right after, but I am here to say that was not the case. I'm obsessed with my BOTM subscription and can't recommend it enough.

At the start of each month, they add five new books to the app. These books span all sorts of genres, include reads from new authors and returning favorites, and some even have a theme (aka: spooky reads for October, holiday reads in December). You can choose up to three books per month. All three of your selections can be from that month's book picks, or you can pick a book or two from that month's selections and choose add-on books — I've been doing this lately as I work on creating my own little home library bookshelf. If you don't like any of their monthly selections, that's okay! Simply skip that month, and a credit will be applied toward future months. "

It's such a fun thing to treat myself to each month and makes for a perfect gift (both to yourself and to loved ones). Happy reading!

Promising review: "I travel pretty often, and I used to always end up packing two separate toiletry bags because nothing ever quite fit the way I needed it to. I’ve been using this lay-flat canvas toiletry bag for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly made my routine so much easier. I can actually see everything at once instead of digging around blindly, which feels small but makes a huge difference when I’m getting ready in a rush. It has just the right amount of compartments to keep things organized without overcomplicating it, and the structure is solid enough that it stands up nicely on a counter. I also love that it doesn’t feel overly 'travel-y.' I’ve been using it at home just as much as I do on trips. Biggest win for me: I no longer need two bags, and everything fits and still feels organized. It’s one of those things you don’t realize you needed until it simplifies your life this much." —Sandy P.

Get it from Calpak for $128 (available in five colors and an optional personalization option for an additional $25). 

Promising reviews: "There is never a day that I regret this purchase. 10/10" —Rebekah A.

"Perfect work bag and love the personalisation to add initials." —Jade W.

"The bag is perfect for work! It’s so classy, I love the colour and the shape." —Nazmin A.

Get it from Cambridge Satchel for $445 (available in three colors/styles and personalization options). 

Promising reviews: "Best small blender ever! Makes just the right amount of smoothie in seconds. I couldn't believe how fast this grinds up fruit and greens." —McKenna Linn

"Works AMAZINGLY. I never have chunks of ice or fruit in my smoothie. Takes virtually no time and truly isn't the most harsh-sounding. It can also hold quite a bit for how small it is. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and comes with so many cool things (like cups and straws)!" —Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $129 (available in five colors).

Promising reviews: "Hair felt like silk. So soft and zero frizz. So worth it." —elli10

"I’ve never had a towel this good. I have three other hair towels but I never reach for them anymore since I got this. I know the price tag is high but girl. It is worth every single penny. I love it so much I’ll get now the green one😍" —rebecarodrigz11

Get it from Sephora for $59 (available in black and white). 

I really can't say enough nice things about Brick. I've seen it hyped all over social media, but honestly? I thought it would be just like every other productivity app I've tried, which frankly makes it way too easy for me to turn off. The physical barrier of needing to go to an actual physical location to unblock my phone has been huge, and I'm literally NEVER going back. Plus, it looks kinda cute on my fridge. 10/10 recommend for you *and* anyone on your gifting list who could use a lil' less phone time.

Promising reviews: "Exactly what I needed to stop doomscrolling whenever I start to get bored. Boredom is good! I love the simplicity of the product, and the size is convenient enough that I can throw it in a bag if I feel that I need it on the go. For now, it will live on the fridge because I can't help but use a good magnet." —Eugenia Kritsuk

"Got the Brick because I couldn't find anything that was helping me with my screen time. Over the past two months of having it, my screen habits have changed A TON. I am on my phone way less and am living in the moment a lot more than I used to. It's so helpful to Brick my phone before leaving the house, and whether it's to go to work, hang out with friends, etc., it is making my everyday moments so much better. Couldn't recommend this product enough to people." —Scott

Promising reviews: "Hot cakes is amazing. Paired with extra whip takes it to the next level ! So good! I love these gift sets!" —Laurie R

"Really lovely combo but I really enjoy the whipped cream body spray by itself. I’ve gotten tons of compliments from this combo!" —Anna s

Promising reviews: "I own so many Louis Vuitton purses, but this bag has been the one i reach for the most lately. It's the perfect creamy white color. I was worried it would stain easily but that hasn’t been an issue at all." —Gina Gonzalez

"I couldn’t be more pleased with my new woven transport bag! The craftsmanship is truly exceptional—each strand is tightly and evenly woven, giving the bag a sturdy, durable feel while still looking effortlessly stylish. The natural texture and rich, earthy tones make it a timeless piece that pairs beautifully with any outfit. What I love most is how versatile it is. It feels equally at home on a weekend market trip, at the beach, or even as a chic carry-on for short flights. I’ve already received many compliments and questions about where I found it!" —Amazon Customer

Get it form Amazon for $198 (available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "This was a perfect gift and the receivers have mounted the calendar/picture frame where others are able to enjoy fam pics. Easy to hang and use. Can share pics with others also." —cmsw

"Bought this gift for my daughter and her family for an early Christmas gift. They absolutely love it. Everyone can look at the calendar and see where everyone is/needs to go. No more excuses or forgetfulness. Has the kids chore list. The teen likes getting the rewards and curbs battling doing chores. Promotes teamwork and communication. I got them the large size, and was perfect for their family of 5 . This size has to be wall mounted. The upgrade feature allows you to plan dinner, which will automatically put it on your Instacart list and have it delivered! Ingenious. Making their lives much easier, more organized, and it’s fun. If you’re on the fence, and have a large busy family, just get it." —Prochicsmc

Get it from Amazon for $599.99+ (available in four frame colors).

My fave feature? HIGHLIGHTING IN DIFFERENT COLORS. Annotators rejoice!! 🙌

Promising reviews: "I received this as a gift from my husband and absolutely love it. I already owned a Kindle Paperwhite that I received two years ago, but I wanted the newer version because of the soft color display. One of my favorite features so far is the battery life. Although I haven’t had it for eight weeks yet, I charged it when I first got it and read every day for 1–3 hours (sometimes more!), and it’s still above 50% without needing another charge. I’m really looking forward to using it long-term and trying out the different color highlighting features. For now, I just love seeing my book covers and maps in color—it makes reading even more enjoyable." —Matthew Brewer

"Great gift! All of the employees pitched in to buy the boss a gift for the holiday. She is an avid reader. After a bit of searching we came up with the Kindle Colorsoft. She loves it! Takes it with her when traveling." —Robert B.

Promising review: "This gets10 stars from the family. I bought the grey version first, and was impressed by the display quality. I bought two of the first generation of kindle scribe for my kids before. They love it so much and bring the devices everywhere they go. Now I am getting this one for myself, mainly for taking notes at work. However, the screen looks just too nice to resist. and I am starting reading books now! I am giving this a 5 stars, and highly recommend it. And I have just purchased the "Fig" version for my wife. It was supposed to be her christmas gift. but getting it now as a valentine's gift. She said it's totally worth the wait. And she falls in love immediately. Also, bringing the device to work for notes and reading during lunch break time." —Denny Chao

Promising reviews: "The Era Flip is honestly a game changer. I’ve used some of the other brands, and the uncovered flip-down straws always kind of grossed me out. With the Era Flip, the straw is completely covered, so I don’t have to think twice about bringing it to places like the hospital or the gym. I’ve also seen a few comments about cleaning, but it’s actually really simple. You don’t have to take everything apart every time. The lid can just go right on the top rack of the dishwasher. And if you ever do want to deep clean it, the whole thing comes apart easily, unlike some other brands where the lids don’t open up and end up growing mold. It’s super easy to take apart and put back together. BrüMate knocked it out of the park with this one!" —Jeanna Weaver

Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors/patterns). 

Get them from Free People for $55 (available in sizes 6–11).

Promising reviews: "The macarons were excellent." —Tantika T.

Promising review: "This set is absolutely adorable. It is larger than I anticipated and I am very happy with the purchase.I purchase a few to give to friends and I can't wait to see their reactions!" —Jshort

Get it from Bath & Body Works for $24.95.

I was actually REALLY skeptical about this, but after a trip to Oslo in Norway where ALL their common areas seemed to be run by these handy lil Wall-E-esque mowing machines, I decided to give it a try. Y'ALL. It's *just* like having a robo vac in your house ~but for your grass~. This thing handled the near-Grand Canyon levels of cracks in our yard BEAUTIFULLY, it has safety features so it's not going to run over pets, kids, or curious birds, and it is so easy to program from the app. Highly, highly recommend to get some time back for you AND the people on your gift list. 

Promising reviews: "Amazing!! Recommending to everyone I know!! After a few weeks of use, I can say this mower really takes the work off my shoulders. It handles different zones in my yard smoothly and even trims closer to the edges than I expected. The noise level is low enough that I can run it while the kids are playing outside, and overall, it’s been very reliable and convenient. I love it!!!" —Madi

"I picked up this robot lawn mower because I wanted an easier way to keep my yard trimmed without spending my weekends pushing a mower, and it has fit into my routine right away. There are no boundary wires to bury, so setup took only a short time with the app mapping, and after that, I just set the schedule and let it go. The mower moves around my lawn smoothly, steering around chairs, toys, and trees without bumping into them. The sound level is low, so I can run it early in the morning while everyone is still sleeping. My yard has a few small slopes and uneven spots, and it handles them with steady traction. When it finishes, the grass looks even and clean, almost like I did it myself." —Lynn Jope
