A lot can be said through edible cocktail glitter and Pokémon Jibbitz.

I'm a Shopping editor (and mom to two toddlers) who covers a variety of topics, including helpful parenting/kids products, exciting gadgets, cozy products (think: home goods and fashions that'll make you want to snuggle), and any magical Disney item that crosses my path.

I shop for a living, so gift giving has become my love language, whether I wanted it to be or not. I've come to learn that surprising someone with a less expensive, more thoughtful item can sometimes mean way more than a splurge-y, over-the-top gift. I'm going to apologize in advance because you just might find yourself scrolling through this post and start thinking, "Wow, my sister would love E.l.f.'s new Thirst Burst Lip Treatment and these coffee-print socks from Aerie!" or start giggling and saying, "I totally need to order Dad a Beverage Buddee and an LED thumb light." What'll be will be!

Promising review: "This is such an amazing creation. You can tell the illustrator put in SO MUCH WORK into researching the Tay universe and capturing absolutely every detail possible of her entire career. I gasped at the "No, it's Becky" reference! A job very well done. I am so happy I purchased this!!" —Alexia Pitman

Promising review: "This book is great for bold and easy, relaxing coloring. It pairs well with Crayola's new alcohol markers, too." —Crystal The FoxyColorist

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four other themes).

Promising review: "This really helps my desk feel more cute and cozy. I love the aesthetic vibe and am thinking of getting another. It’s just so cute. Not that big, but I don’t need a big mouse pad; it’s probably better if it’s on the smaller side." —BetseyBoo

Get it from Anthropologie for $15.40 (available in six styles, including a lovely little bookshop).

I have a bunch of Band-Aids in my house (I'm accident-prone *and* have two kids under the age of five) and was smitten with these! My kids and I all reach for these — they're so gorgeous! Even though my little ones are, well, little, they love the colors and designs on these. Sometimes they even prefer these to their Disney Band-Aids!

Promising review: "So totally awesome. 😬 I needed new Band-Aids — I’m always doing something ridiculous, and with these, so pretty. I have one cat who likes to let me know when she’s done with pets, and I have claw marks from her — not to mention my general clumsiness with gardening and cooking. Love them!!" —Mom the Handyman

Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody who has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "The texture is thick! But it’s a good thick. These feel so smooth on the lips and are very glossy. Currently, my favorite E.l.f. lip product, over the Glow Reviver Oil. Smell is not overwhelming and neither is taste. I came back to order them all." —Khloe3

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three flavors).

Promising review: "I bought it as a gift for my nephew, and he loved it. The quality was great and they looked adorable. They were a great size, not too small or big. They look very durable, too." —Yaneris

Get them from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "Bought this because I was looking for a smaller version of the Chom Chom. Works the same lint-wise, but the motion is different and easier for me because the handle aligns differently. Best I can describe, the Chom Chom has to go forward and backward, like away from and toward my body. This one goes side to side. And the smaller size is helpful." —Dolljrsw

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99. 

These beauties come from Aerie's new "OVERSLEPT" collection, which I am utterly obsessed with. I think these shall hold me over until society deems it "OK" for me to start shifting into fall...

A bunch of BuzzFeed writers are fans of Pavoi! BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has these Pavoi hoops and said, "Jewelry is not one of those things I like to splurge on, so when I found this budget-friendly pair, I decided to ~treat myself~. And wow, they look amazing in person! I'm sort of obsessed with this brand in general now (I wore one of their tennis bracelets to a wedding recently and got so many compliments!) and may finally be able to build up a collection of jewelry staples without going broke."

Promising review: "I would absolutely purchase this again. I typically wear a stack of gold jewelry bracelets, and this was a perfect addition. I’ve been wearing mine for about five months now, and it still looks great. I’d recommend it." —sly123321

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in four styles and a set of two).

Promising review: "These earrings are the perfect size and look great for everyday and also dressing up. I packed these for a recent resort trip with my husband’s company, and they were perfect for plane travel, wearing with swimsuits, and dressing up for fancy restaurants. The price is really great for such high quality. The earrings didn’t tarnish from pool, shower, or ocean water. The clasp has never come undone." —Reilly S. Leonard 

Get them from Amazon for $13.95 (available in two finishes).

Promising review: "Any Dolly lover would love this bottle brush. It is made well. It's slightly bigger than I expected when I received the item." —Lauren

Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action. Cliganic is a small business!

Promising review: "I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me but the amount of bites I got last summer was WILD. Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day and it seemed to work SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews and about 99% of them had great results. I've only used this bracelet twice but both times I was outside and untouched. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hyper sensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive." —Tracey Agopian

If you somehow breeze your way through the first edition, there are two more you can check out!

Promising review: "Great quality book. Thick pages with beautiful color. Engaging problems to solve (and so many of them!!!). I am almost halfway through the puzzle book within my first week of having it, and I came back to Amazon to see if there were other volumes available for purchase. I will be buying all future volumes. Great fun!" —Daniel

ILNP is a small business! Reviewers are also a big fan of the subtle, shimmery "Birthday Suit" shade.

Promising review: "This polish is the best you can buy. Long-lasting, beautiful color payoff. The formula is perfect in terms of consistency, self-levels like a dream, and isn't runny. Literally have three polishes so far and plan to get as many as I can!" —McKenzie Willis

Get it from Amazon for $12.50 (available in over 300 shades)

Promising review: "This nail and cuticle cream is hands down the best I’ve ever used! I live in a very dry climate, and my poor cuticles were ragged, and my stress-nail-biting wasn’t helping matters. After only two days of applying three times daily, my cuticles are magically healed, soft, and soothed. My nails are now healthy and moisturized, and I even think they are growing faster! I don’t know how this formula does it, but it fully delivers on its promises!" —KW

Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly onto your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night, and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone, this light is still my go-to when reading. It's better than any nightstand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck, but it's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" —Linda Holloway

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "This is a great addition to my book collection. Stamp quality is amazing. The price is perfect. I love the font. It’s a perfect size to fit near my books." —Paiser

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 26 styles).

Promising review: "Love these shades, they’re firm and give off a quality vibe, the tint is in the perfect shade. They look expensive in my humble opinion. Great pair of shades if you want to do a no makeup look as well. Didn't come with a case or cleaning cloth, but for the price, I’m not surprised. Delivered fast." —Brittani

Get them from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in a variety of styles and packs).

Promising review: "I love this tinted lip balm! It gives my lips the perfect wash of color while keeping them super soft and hydrated. The texture is smooth and lightweight — not sticky at all — and it feels like I’m just wearing a nourishing balm, but with a natural lipstick look. The tint is buildable too, so I can swipe once for a subtle glow or add more for a deeper pop of color. It’s perfect for days when I want a little something without doing a full face of makeup. Plus, it’s great for touch-ups on the go. Highly recommend if you want moisture and color in one easy step!!" —J.P.

There's a new foaming bath in this scent, too!

Promising review: "A great magnesium soak, very affordable, and amazing, incredible scent! It is so uplifting and vibrant. It should not be a special edition but a regular product offering! Bravo!" —Amazon Customer

This bar will even float in the bath! Check out the entire Moomin collection.

Promising review: "Best claw clip for fine hair! No headache and no slippage! Color is beautiful and it stays put all day! My hair slides out of all other clips and they feel insecure and uncomfortable. This one is awesome! I'll be buying other colors." —W. Doss

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "My order came quickly, and the flowers are so cute! The characters' faces are perfect! I like that they can bend, as it made it easier to arrange all of them in one vase." —Pinom

Get them from Disney Store for $16.99 each (available in 10 characters).

The water-resistant light comes with a replaceable lithium battery.

Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision is no longer perfect, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble trying to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni

These are made without harmful substances and are certified for indoor air quality. 

Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with this purchase! The paper incense exceeded all my expectations. The quality is outstanding, and it works even better than the description. It arrived quickly, was well-packaged, and easy to use. Smells great and burns well. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for paper incense." —Kim

Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in eight scents).

Bakel is a small business that specializes in edible glitters for food and drink (fun!). I used the pink glitter to jazz up the drinks at my Taylor Swift–themed baby shower, and it was a huge hit! It even looked fabulous when added to sparkling water. A little goes a long way, so don't be concerned when a tiny jar of glitter arrives — it'll be PLENTY.

Promising review: "Don’t think any further and just buy it. This was so cool, and everyone loved it! I got the clear one because it will go with any drink. I will be the one to put this in all my friends' drinks. Also had no taste, so it was just the look. Sooooooo cool!" —gigi

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in 27 colors). 

Promising review: "This stuff is just awesome! I got it because my hair is short and gray, and hair dye doesn’t really stick to it. I needed several colors for my unicorn hair. 🦄💚 So I tried this product, and I absolutely love it! It’s super bright, it stays on for hours, and it’s so easy to use! And it comes out with a little bit of water, I would definitely buy this product again, I absolutely love it!!!! Great quality for sure!" —Krystyn B

Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok. They're very useful as I tend to waste a lot of soda. It's easy to drink from and doesn’t spill." —MsLZ

"Where have these little things been all my life?! I got the original four-pack, but since trying the one, I don't think I can ever drink from a can straight ever again! I'll be carrying these in my purse from now on. They are WAY better than your brain could ever conjure up from a photo. Just buy them, don't even think about it! Five stars, two thumbs up, highly recommended!" —Lirpa

Get a set of four from Amazon for $6.99. 

Promising review: "These are the best grocery bags! Very sturdy, reusable bags. I take two of these with me to the store and I fit everything I need in there. The straps fit over your shoulder nicely so they are easy to carry." —Susan
