A snail soap dispenser, a strawberry tea kettle, and a mushroom lantern to give you a little smile.
1. A pair of strappy support sandals made from the same material as yoga mats, so they’re going to be super comfortable from the get-go. Believe me, these will be your summertime go-tos!
Promising review: “As a busy mama always on the move, finding the perfect pair of flip-flops that combine comfort and style is a game-changer. These KuaiLu flip-flops have been a delightful surprise! The yoga mat footbed feels like a soft cushion under my feet, providing excellent support throughout the day. Whether I’m chasing after the kids at the park or running errands, my feet stay comfortable and pain-free. I also appreciate the arch support these sandals offer. It’s not often you find flip-flops that are both stylish and good for your feet. The nonslip sole gives me peace of mind, especially during our beach outings.” —Hailey Ward
Price: $13.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 26 styles)
2. A tube of Makup’s Brow Me that’s like a hybrid between eyebrow wax and sculpting gel if you want your brows to stay in place all day long and look like you got them professionally laminated.
Makup Beauty is a small business that specializes in makeup products.
Promising review: “I’m obsessed with this product. I have my brows microbladed, but I love the look of the bushy laminated brows, and this product is my holy grail now. It lasts all day, and I don’t need to have my brows laminated by a professional. I recently went on vacay in Cancun, which is humid, and these brows didn’t move. Highly recommend!!” —Tammy J
Price: $9.98
3. A classic vegan leather JW Pei purse to elevate literally any outfit. I have one, and I love how it goes with pretty much any ensemble I have going on. Whether I’m wearing a dress and heels or a T-shirt and sneakers, this purse is my MVP!
Amazon
JW Pei is an Asian family–owned, California-based brand established in 2018 that specializes in high-quality vegan-leather products.

Promising review: “This bag is so stylish! The quality is amazing!!! The packaging it came in was super nice, too! It fits my phone, a card wallet, and a few other small items! I love how the strap is adjustable, too! I also love that they provide you with a dust bag. I will most likely purchase another bag soon!” —Genie
Price: $89 (available in 26 colors)
4. A breezy long-sleeve crochet swimsuit cover-up you can totally wear to the beach, but that you’ll want to keep on after a day of lounging for a night out on the town. It’s just that damn cute.
Promising review: “A must-have! This cover-up is perfect! The sleeve length is dreamy. Truly, I’ve been looking for a cover-up like this since my teens and nothing was ever just right. If you’re on the fence, just do it! Material feels nice. It is a smidge heavy to me, but it will be perfect for the evenings around the pool or on the beach.” —Keirsten
Price: $29.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 styles)
5. An Acure brightening facial scrub formulated with sea kelp and French green clay to exfoliate your skin without leaving you completely stripped of your natural oils. I use this stuff, and it definitely helps clear away my clogged pores.
6. A personal parasol you can clip pretty much anywhere, so you can catch a little bit of shade (the good kind), whether you’re hanging at the beach, watching a soccer game, or enjoying a day at the park.
Promising review: “This is my third one of these (I’m rough on umbrellas). It clamps EVERYWHERE and does a FAN-DAMN-TASTIC job!!!! Having been in a wheelchair and allergic to the sun for over 30 years, I have used lots of umbrellas, and this one is by far the best on the market for shade and ease of attachment. About all the complaints on wind: Get real, it’s an umbrella, not a brick wall, IT WILL MOVE IN THE WIND!!! All in all, this one is great and recommended.” —patriot_rose
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
7. An attachable aerator to bring out all the unique flavors in your wine and make your Two Buck Chuck taste like a hundred-dollar bottle of fancy vino (or at least like a nice $20 bottle).
This attachable aerator deposits oxygen into your wine, which improves taste and allows aromas to EXPAND.
Promising review: “I bought one of these for my oldest daughter, and it worked so well I ended up buying another for my youngest daughter (both in their 30s). It worked wonderfully, they said it was an easy pour, and the flavor was accented by the aerator. Great invention.” —RDUB
Price: $17.99
8. A Cup Cozy Pillow for keeping your snacks, drinks, skincare, and most importantly, your remote, all in the same place while you’re marathon-watching your favorite TV show.
BTW, Cup Cozy Pillow is a family-run small business.
Check it out on TikTok!
Promising review: “We have a sectional sofa with an area that has a chaise lounge section I like to lie on, but that puts me far enough from the coffee table that I don’t have a good place to put my drinks. I bought this pillow to put next to me to hold my drinks, and I love it. It lets me keep my drinks nearby without having to constantly hold them while lounging and watching TV. Stable without being too bulky or heavy.” —Holly M. Paddock
Price: $29.99 (available in nine styles)
9. A travel brush with a hidden compartment so you can make the most out of what little bit of space you have on your carry-on bag. Plus, you could totally bring this to music festivals to smuggle some of your own snacks in!
Promising review: “Bought this brush to replace my old travel brush. Love the storage compartment! Didn’t realize that it actually CAME with hair ties, clips, and bobby pins (didn’t notice these in the description). Such an amazing surprise. And the brush is great! Detangles and smoothes wonderfully. Even tamed my staticky hair. Love it!” —Crazy cat mama
Price: $19.95 (also available in white)
10. A Melissa & Doug ice cream counter your little one will love playing with so much, you might actually get a little jealous! I mean, when is it YOUR turn to be the ice cream scooper!?
The wooden ice cream counter comes with eight ice cream scoops, six toppings, two cones, a cup, a scooper, tongs, a wooden spoon, a reusable menu card, and six pretend dollar bills.
Promising review: “Fun toy set for a creative toddler. My newly turned 3-year-old daughter instantly fell in love with this set! She loves seeing how high she can stack the ice cream cones and pretending to serve Mom and Dad her creations. She’s been obsessed with climbing things around the house and we *desperately* needed a distraction to get her to stop, and this is working so far — she plays with this thing for HOURS!” —West Family
Price: $49.06
11. A bedside bassinet for keeping your newborn at arm’s length, so when they wake up in the middle of the night, everyone can go back to bed a little more quickly.
Amazon
Promising review: “I am so happy with this bed!! It lets me be close to my baby at night without being afraid of rolling over on him while he sleeps next to me! I also can easily pick him up and feed him if he cries! So glad I found this!” —Hannah Rodriguez
Price: $159.99+ (available in six styles)
12. A silly snail soap dispenser sure to induce a smile every time you wash your hands and make your guests giggle whenever they visit your bathroom.
13. A lingerie set for when you want to look spicy (on a budget). This is just as high-quality as something that could cost upwards of $200, but at a fraction of the price. You might as well get this in a couple of colors!
Promising reviews: “I am in love with this piece! It’s soooo comfortable but SOOO sexy. The color looked sooo amazing on my skin, and my partner couldn’t keep their hands off of me. I felt so happy when I put it on, it was perfectly my size!” —Jacob/Atzula
“This set is so unique. I absolutely love it. I am roughly size 12. I got this in an XL, could have likely gone with the L though, as there’s lots of stretch. It looks great, though. It’s really comfortable and beautiful. With the right bra, you could wear the cropped top on its own for a night out (paired with jeans and heels or a black pencil skirt would be so cute).” —Christina
Price: $17.99 (available in sizes L–5XL and 11 colors)
14. A unicorn-head squirrel feeder so you can keep your local squirrel population well-fed while you get a good laugh. Trust me — the *squirrelicorn* is going to be your new favorite magical animal.
15. A pair of eyeshadow color removal sponges, since you’re pretty sure you haven’t cleaned your brushes since you bought them in 2018. Just swipe the brushes on the spongy texture and they will be like new!
Promising review: “This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash.” —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett
Price: $5.99
16. A strawberry tea kettle so you can feel like a little woodland fairy every time you make yourself a pot of tea. And this will also make for a lovely piece of decor even when you’re not using it.
Promising review: “This tea kettle is so dang cute and I absolutely love it. The sound it makes when it’s ready is like a train coming, not your typical noise, but I love it.” —Amazon Customer
Price: $56.99 (also available in eight other styles)
17. A pair of tassel statement earrings with a druzy stud because you have a million Zoom meetings for work, and you want to fool your coworkers into thinking you actually put some effort into the way you look. This is an easy way to add a little color and flair to whatever you’re working with!
Check out BuzzFeed’s full write-up on these gorgeous earrings.
Promising review: “These are super cute and great quality. I like that it’s a stone-like effect on the top — I didn’t realize that from the pictures. I want more! I ordered a few other similar earrings at the same time that were cheaper. You could definitely tell the difference in the quality. The tassels on the cheaper ones were frayed and not as smooth as these. It was also nice that they sent several backs.” —Kindle Customer
Price: $12.99 (available in 39 colors)
18. A bag of freeze-dried sour candies if you’re a lover of all things sweet and tart and want to try something new. These are going to give regular old movie candy a run for their money.
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 alright, 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
Price: $8.99+ (available in two sizes; check out the rest of their freeze-dried candy for more options)
19. A pack of three collapsible paper mushroom lanterns to add a dash of whimsy to your space for cheap. Everyone who comes over will absolutely love these and ask you where you got them!
Promising review: “These mushrooms are the cutest decorations I’ve seen. I absolutely love them. They are pretty sturdy once set up, I have them sitting on the ground and placed a smallish brick on the inside for stability. They also come with string if you want to hang them. I am going to put a small tea light or fairy lights on the inside to light them up. Both the wire and the paper seem really durable and seem to be made better than other paper lanterns that I’ve seen. They are SUPER easy to set up.” —Sajujama
Price: $12.98+ (available in five colors)
20. A set of cute and on-trend flower hair claw clips to keep your hair out of your face while you’re out and about. These absolutely SCREAM summer and will go with pretty much any outfit!
Promising review: “Love these for my second-day dirty hair, and I get tons of compliments. The variety of colors is great, and unlike most clips, they actually hold up my fine hair!” —Mikaela West
Price: $9.99+ (available in four color combinations)
21. A rotating whisk blender for helping you beat your eggs to absolute perfection without having to do an intense arm workout. Say hello to the fluffiest eggs you’ve ever eaten!
Check out a TikTok of the whisk in action.
Promising review: “This is one of the coolest gizmos I’ve purchased! And it works like a charm, especially for scrambled eggs. I’ve always struggled with getting the egg white and yolk blended well together. This tool does the trick. I found it most effective with liquids. Any kind of sauce or salad dressing can be well blended with this tool too.” —Austin
Price: $16.89
22. A pair of super lightweight ruffled elastic shorts that are comfy enough for lounging around the house, but dressy enough for sporting on a date or a picnic at the park.
Amazon
Promising review: “Made well. Love the thin linen material. The scalloped hem dresses up the shorts. Very comfortable.” —kim Marcoaldi
Price: $25.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 24 styles)
23. A fan-favorite Carhartt baseball cap (with over 1,000 5-star reviews!!) because you want to keep the sun out of your face while oozing the ultimate effortlessly cool vibes.
You can also get it in baby and kid sizes so the whole family can match!
Promising review: “My 22-year-old sons told me I ‘looked good’ in this hat. Probably the most that they’ve said to me in 17 months, but really sweet, so this hat gets props! I love the narrow (skull) fit and adjustable band. Nice hat, TBH.” —Jimmah!
Price: $19.99 (available in tons of styles)
24. A golf club–cleaning squeeze bottle complete with a nylon brush so when you hit the course, you can easily clean your clubs and shoes without having to get your hands dirty.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’ve been using mine for over a year now, and it is seriously the best at what it does. Simple design, but it does a simple (but vital) task. I try to top it off before every round but often forget. That’s fine because it seems to last three or four rounds, no problem. Even if you do run out of water, it still works as a simple brush until you can make it to a conveniently located water cooler or fountain on the golf course.” —Ben M.
Price: $11.98
25. A stylish pickleball set so you can partake in the trendiest new sport with your friends this summer and tear it up on the court. Plus, it comes with a carrying case too!
The beginner-friendly paddles are made with polymer honeycomb to have a larger hitting area without being too heavy. They’re also USA Pickleball Association–approved if he’s thinking about going pro.
Promising review: “These paddles have been a great investment. They are an affordable pair of pickleball paddles that I have used for almost a year. Having a pair of paddles makes it easy to play with friends and makes this set a great value for the price. Overall, the build quality has been great with only one significant chip endured by one paddle due to contact with the pavement of the court.” —Remy
Price: $33.99+ (available in 11 styles and larger sets)
26. A Saucemoto dip clip because you want to be able to enjoy your fries with your favorite sauces ASAP after getting them in the drive-through. These will ensure you don’t have a spill while you’re indulging.
Promising review: “How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first ‘TikTok Made Me Buy It’ purchase, and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car’s vent, and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that’s holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I’m looking at you, Arby’s.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that’s balanced on your lap, and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole ‘wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,’ which usually doesn’t turn out so great.” —Pleasure Pamela
Price: $12.99+ for two
27. A chic bandeau and high-cut bottoms bikini that’ll have you feeling like a guest vacationing at the White Lotus — but don’t worry, you’re just a background character soaking up all the tropical vibes (and not at risk of murder).
Promising review: “I ordered a size medium and it was PERFECT!! Loved the bottoms because they were a little bit cheeky and made me feel like a Caribbean beach babe on the trip! Definitely recommend!” —Jodi Hochstetler
Price: $29.98 (available in sizes S–XL and 20 styles)
