Promising review: "This squishy looks so real that my husband was wondering why I was squeezing a stick of butter! It has just the right amount of tackiness, and the scent is pleasant." —davidandnina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.20. Promising review: "I don’t know what it is about this fragrance but I love it so much! It is unique for sure, but it reminds me of summer days in a garage, which sounds weird, but that’s what it makes me think of. But then, as that begins to fade, it turns into a great, clean scent. It is the most unique perfume I own, and I own a lot of perfumes (over 100). Snif is an amazing brand!" —Jill T Get it from Snif for $25+ (available in two sizes). It can measure up to 3 feet, so it's better for measuring smaller things. Promising review: "I thrift a lot and often wish I had a measuring tape to compare picture frame sizes, furniture, etc. This has come in handy so many times. It can attach to your keychain/bag, or you can keep it in your car for such an occasion." —KB If you want something less cutthroat, check out Uno Flip, which features a special Flip card that turns all cards face up to reveal new numbers and colors. Promising review: "For highly competitive players! If you have players who can’t handle regular Uno without their feelings being hurt, they will not enjoy this version. We, however, have some very competitive card players in our family and had a blast playing this game. No Mercy means just that! Enjoy!" —Mom Reviews Each mini jar contains 38 lotion bursts and is a great size for stashing in your purse for on-the-go moisture. Just be mindful about keeping it somewhere warm, as the lotion bursts may melt and clump together. Promising review: "OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pops rub into the skin. I've found they're the perfect size to get my hands and up to my elbows when I'm hecka scaly, and all the way up to the shoulders when I'm less dry. And there's no residue! No greasy feeling! Just soft and hydrated and awesome. If they come out with more scents besides this and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle Get it from Amazon for $7.47 (available in two scents). Promising review: "By far the best thing I've ever purchased! Super cute addition! Well made and a nice size!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.86+ (available in six styles/colors). Promising review: "Got it for my best friend for her birthday. She is from East Tennessee, like Dolly; she loved it! We all laughed!" —Caroline Wills Beauglyful is a small business that sells fun, colorful food decor. Get it from Beauglyful on Etsy for $156.72 (also available in round shape and UK/AU plug types). Promising review: "My gal was immediately smitten with these kittens! These nail files are the cat's meow! Functional AND adorbs!!! We both purr-sonally recommend them!" —OBX Ben Get a three-pack from Uncommon Goods for $16 (available in puppy or kitten designs). Promising review: "These are so freaking good! I really wish I had gotten more than one, or they came in a bigger bag, because oh my gosh! If you're questioning whether to get these or not to get them, and you like dill pickle flavored stuff, I would say get more than one!" —Felicia Get it from Amazon for $3.97 (also available in five other flavors like apple cider donut and rosemary sea salt, plus multipacks). Promising review: "This stuff smells SO good! Like a sweet, sugary citrus, but not overpowering, so just a light, fresh scent. The smell lasts forever. I used a kitchen towel to wipe my counters down and then hung the towel up and the next day I could still smell it when I walked into the kitchen. For the scent alone, I would purchase this again! As for cleaning ... it is not a disinfectant, it is just a general multipurpose cleaner, so I wouldn't use it to clean toilets or anything like that. It does a WONDERFUL job at cleaning and cutting grime and grease, though. It actually surprised me! It doesn't leave residue or streaks but does leave a clean, shiny surface. The bottle is plenty big. The only con is that the spray mechanism doesn't work the greatest. Sometimes it sticks. I use glass spray bottles, so I just put it in one of those to solve that issue. Overall, definitely recommend!" —Joshua Promising review: "Bought them as a gift, but now I'm keeping one lol just because they are so cute." —Jessica Geer Check out a TikTok of the heated ice cream scoop in action. If you're ehh about bringing more tech into your home, check out a classic liquid-filled scooper that heats up with the warmth from your hand. Promising review: "This electric scoop is spectacular. It's easy to use and comes with a cord and everything else. It's very practical and made of good material. It doesn't need anything; it just knows when to heat it up so that it turns out a spectacular scoop of ice cream." —Lisney Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 13 colors). Sayso is a woman-owned small business that specializes in the first-ever cocktail teabag, perfect for cocktails and mocktails. Promising review: "I’m seriously blown away by the Spicy Margarita teabag! As someone who loves a good margarita but doesn’t want all the sugar, this is a total game changer. It’s super easy — just steep in cold water (or with a splash of tequila if you’re making a cocktail), and you’ve got a refreshing, slightly spicy drink in under a minute. The flavor is chef’s kiss — tangy, zesty, with the perfect little kick." —Chioma Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 10+ other cocktail styles and larger packs). Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick. Promising review: "This color is beautiful and shows up differently on everyone. The thing that I like most about this product is that it stays on all day, even after eating several meals. I have to use a microfiber cloth to remove it at night!" —Rasheda Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (also available in nine other colors). Promising review: "These are not only the cutest bag clips out there, but also are super sturdy! They function well and are easy to open and close." —Lindsay S. Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.96. Promising review: "You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and a coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!" —Megan Huffman Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two colors). Promising review: "Absolutely freaking obsessed with this chandelier. Like OBSESSED. I got it for a Christmas decoration, but it’s staying up all year. She is perfect in our space!" —Kate B. It comes with two feather teaser sticks and six colorful felt balls. Promising review: "This is a perfect gift for cats who already have everything their hearts desire, but it’s still not enough. It is so cute, doesn’t take up a ton of space, is easy to assemble, and sturdy. The pool cue wand toys are genius. In general, my cats will bat the balls under the furniture and then sleep on the pool table. Human and cat approved!" —Laura PS: If you're not a plant person, reviewers say it also works for pens, makeup brushes, perfume samples, matchbooks, and more. It comes from small biz Ban.do. Promising review: "I love everything about this! The size, the quality, and the glossy finish! Double thumbs up!" —Stevie Promising review: "SO YUMMMMYYYY!!! I did not expect to like the cola, but it was soooo good. I’m obsessed and get the hype now lol." —Laura Duncan Promising review: "This is so easy to use and especially clean! My big humidifier was too big for my bedroom and hard to clean. But this one is small, adorable, and works perfectly. It includes a night-light, is very quiet, and the water lasts all night." —Sunny Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in three colors). Check out a TikTok of the pill dispenser in action. Promising review: "So I am horrible about remembering if I took my pills. And I HATE digging into the old pill boxes or doing the tip-over. I don't know what it is, but I have always disliked it. I hung this on my wall right by the kitchen, so I pass it like 5,000 times a day, and I can't not see it. It is so fun pushing the little orange button to watch the meds fall out. I mean, it kind of feels like a really weird game of Wheel of Fortune, but I like it." —Grofica Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors). MiaBOWstyle is a small business that makes the cutest homemade plushies. Promising review: "These animal cracker pillows are everything! So adorable, always make me smile." —Lauren Get it from MiaBOWstyle on Etsy for $29.92+ (originally $39.90+; available in three animals and two colors). Nebula Colors is a small business that specializes in unique home decor. Promising review: "Absolutely obsessed! I have seen plastic ones, and well, ceramic is definitely a much better option. Beautiful quality, lots of compliments!" —Kate Get it from Amazon for $35+ (available in two sizes). PS: They come from small biz Bruun Beauty! Promising review: "I love these masks so much! They’re just like what you’d pay a lot more for in a salon. My skin feels amazing after using them. The consistency is great and peels off really easily. Anyone who has issues with the consistency may be using too much water or too thin a layer. I slather it on Mrs. Doubtfire style!" —Courtney Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $28.95+ (available in 18 styles). Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger that I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony For Elementary puzzles, you need to find the suspect, location, and weapon. For Occult Medium puzzles, the added challenge is that the murderer always lies, and the other suspects tell the truth! For Hard Boiled puzzles, you also need to find a motive. And for Impossible puzzles, you have to discover all four elements and deal with the murderer's lying witness statement. Each puzzle has a logic grid to help you keep track of the evidence. Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, storylines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativity! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes, but this one will keep me busy for a while!" —Liz Gately And when you need more puzzles, check out Volume 2 for $9.51 and Volume 3 for $9.99. Promising reviews: "This is my go-to soy sauce for sushi and all Japanese dishes. The depth of flavor from aging in oak barrels is obvious, as are the nuances in the flavors, compared to the sauce aged in stainless steel. I always have a bottle in reserve." —CN "A few years ago, a food blog evaluated soy sauce brands and put this one on top. The usual Kikkoman is fine, but this is better. I gave it a try, and... Well, now Amazon reminds me that I've purchased this product four times already. That says something; it's not like I go through soy sauce that fast. As artisanal products go, this is affordable. It's worth the experiment!" —Esther Promising review: "These are cute, but don't underestimate them — they actually are very effective at shrinking pimples overnight. I definitely saw a 70% reduction in redness and size. I was pleasantly surprised! (No patch removes them 100%, unfortunately.) Also, the case is magnetic, it's made very well considering most patches don't even come with a case at all!! I've used at least a half dozen brands, but with varying success. Some burn and leave a red mark, but this didn't for me, and I have sensitive skin. Overall, a great buy!" —PeacefulSeraph Get three sheets from Amazon for $16+ (available in seven styles). Psst — Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront! Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon! Promising review: "One of my favorites ever!!! The idea is perfect, and the pages are all unique and fun to color, with no repetition, and the details aren't too tiny. Great for anxiety if you're doing coloring for mental health. (I hate the pages that are just tiny patterns repeated endlessly. Makes my anxiety worse.)" —Ezra Johnson Promising review: "I love the uniqueness of these watering tools! They sparkle subtly in the sunshine and provide me with the peace that I can go a few days without watering! Well designed, and I would buy from this seller again!" —Laura Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99. Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and six colors). Good Molecules is a small business that sells fun beauty products. You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith Promising review: "I am going through some legal things, and this folder has been perfect for keeping all my paperwork together! And boy, can it hold a lot! The snap closure is very sturdy, and the color is spot on!! An amazing value and great quality!" —MomOf2 Get it from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in eight colors). Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Promising review: "While they don’t reduce my dryness, I have never slept better wearing these before bed. The heat is so nice. The fit is perfect. Light on my face, and after about 30 seconds, I don’t even feel it around my ears. I’m so glad I discovered these. Will be buying again!" —Tiffany Campbell "So soothing and relaxing. 😌 I deal with chronic pain on a 24/7 basis, and that can include headaches, migraines, anxiety, and sleeplessness. These eye masks are such a nice way to relax and drift off to sleep. They smell like lavender and are warm against my eyes and temples, helping to soothe any tension or puffiness from being upset over the pain. They were a gift to me, but I’ll be ordering more. 💜" —Megan Masser Reaves Get a set of ten from Amazon for $7.59. Psst — they're also gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free! And certain flavors — like BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly's personal fave, Cherry Ring Pop — are even sugar-free! FYI, depending on your situation, water may be enough to rehydrate you! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Incredibly flavorful and tastes as you'd expect. I felt the effects within half an hour and was peppy while working in the Florida heat. Great price and super easy to use." —Joe Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 11 flavors). Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" —Lindsey Get a set of six from Amazon for $7.99.
