Promising review: “I’m 17 and I loved this. In the intro it says the page instructions are all up to interpretation, so if it says ‘spill your drink’ or something you can take that literally or choose to paint on it with something such as tea or coffee that’ll look like brown watercolor. I would recommend this if you’re just looking for something fun or if you’re going through some challenges this is really helpful to distract/express/push yourself!” — Marlee
Promising review: “I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change.” — Brent Helm
JW Pei is an Asian- and family-owned accessories brand based in Los Angeles. They sell minimalist handbags and shoes made with sustainable vegan materials.BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd owns this pretty accessory and said: “When I started seeing this new ‘it bag’ all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it’s less than $100! The quality is amazing — the vegan leather is sturdy, it has a nice faux-suede lining, and the magnetic closure actually stays closed. The adorable ‘scrunchie’ design is such a great way to jazz up an outfit. Plus, it’s a great size for the necessities like my phone, wallet, keys, mask, and lip gloss. I definitely plan on buying more colors!” Former Shopping editor Abby Kass owns it, too: “This has been my go-to bag for the last month. When I saw this style showing up everywhere on Instagram (and in my fellow BuzzFeed Shopping team posts), I knew I wanted to get my hands on it. The style really is unique and fun, yet still feels like it’s a classic. I wasn’t sure about the size, but it’s big enough to fit my phone, small wallet, hand sanitizer, lipstick, and a mask. (which is about everything I need to carry around right now). The shoulder strap is a little small if I put it all the way up on my shoulder, but I actually prefer to hold it by my hand or the crook of my arm. And did I mention that this is amazing for the price?!? I mean, can you believe that it’s less than $100??? Because I truly cannot. It’s such good quality, and I know I’ll be using it for a long long time.”
My coworker Emma Lord owns these and raves: “I love them to pieces, TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat.” You can read more of her lightsaber chopsticks review (it’s #14). Promising review: “Bought these for a white elephant and everyone loved them! My friends are huge Star Wars fans and absolutely love these chopsticks. Great color quality and great LED light quality. They’re well made, easy to clean, and a nice weight! Would recommend for sure, very fun and cute gift!” — Sam
Other cool features include a quiet motor and the ability to be charged up on the go, thanks to a USB-type charger that works with a power bank, phone adapter, and 5v/2a adapter. Promising review: “This massage gun has been really fun for our family. My wife has struggled with pain in her hips and gluteal area for years. We have used this in the evenings frequently and definitely noticed pain relief. I have used it after a good hard workout and also noticed that I am not as sore. Also, we have been very impressed with the battery life. We can both use it quite a bit and not have to charge it for days.” — Brent
Read more about migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic.Promising review: “These are amazing. I suffer from eye disease and part of the symptoms are strained eyes, severe dry eye, headaches, and puffiness from the stress on my eyes. My doctor advised I get a heated eye mask and use it 20 minutes a day. Why didn’t he tell me this two years ago?! I went with this product based on what it offered for the price and the great reviews. AHHHH! The heat is perfect. The massage is deep into my temples and covers all around the eyes and all the way into the small pressure points by my nose. The music is a bonus. The vibration, massage, pressure, heat, and tranquil music make this the best gift idea for anyone on your list.” — Elynoon
See them in action on TikTok.Promising review: “I will admit I bought these from seeing them on TikTok and I needed new clips for my thick hair. I am not disappointed and beyond glad I got them. The colors are gorgeous and they stay put without hurting my head. I’m very impressed.” — Jessica Lynn

Promising review: “Okay, these are the perfect gift for any couple! I packed these in our carry-on for our honeymoon in Mexico. We each would draw a card at restaurants while waiting for our food. I have been with my husband for seven years (recently married though!) and I learned a lot about him and heard stories he had of us that I had forgotten about. These are amazing and I can’t wait to keep the questions coming.” — megelizabeth23
Slice and freeze over ripe fruit, place frozen fruit into the chute, and they’ll have something sweet to eat in little time! The machine’s removable parts are also top-rack dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.Promising review: “I saw one of these in action at a friend’s house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally, this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use.” — DMCKAY
Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!Promising review: “OH MY LANTA. PURCHASE THIS NOW. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I have thick hair, and this dries my hair in less than 15 minutes. PLUS, I don’t have to fuss with a straightener or a curling iron if I don’t want to!! It leaves my hair so soft and shiny and gives it SO MUCH VOLUME! I recommend this to ANYONE I talk to about it. Seriously, my favorite styling tool. Seriously, so in love.” — SydneyMany reviewers with curl types 4a-c prefer the oval brush, but if you’re looking to blow out tighter curls or coils, try the Revlon One-Step paddle brush instead. This model is made for users with curlier hair. You can get it for $29.21. Reviewers of this brush also say it’s the best thing they’ve bought for their hair!
Promising review: “I bought this product almost two years ago for my college apartment and it’s the best thing I ever bought! Perfect place to hang my keys up when I get home and I never lose them! It also looks very cute and simple. The adhesive is really strong and the magnet in it [is] super strong as well. It holds up my apartment keys, my car keys, and my boyfriend’s heavy Audi keys perfectly fine. Love it.” — Meghan Consadene
These Bala Bangles are available in two sizes (one pound or two pounds) depending on their workout needs.Promising reviews: “Bought these for my husband and he loves them.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: “This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They’re the only ones I’ll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom and now she’s in love with them too!”Promising review: “Absolutely LOVE these pillowcases! Likely the best gift I was ever given! My hair and skin have been so much better after switching to these! I wake up to shiny, manageable hair and clean, acne-free skin! The color is vibrant, and the texture is cool and soft. Would definitely recommend!” — Carey Marie

They’ll get a Takeya cold brew pitcher, ultra-fine mesh filter, and instructions to help them brew delicious iced coffee. Just pour French press–ground beans into the fine-mesh filter, screw the filter into the lid of the pitcher, pour water into the pitcher, drop the filter into the pitcher, and place the pitcher in the fridge to brew for up to 36 hours. Once it’s ready, they’ll have fresh cold brew coffee to drink whenever they need a pick-me-up. ☕BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer swears by this coffee gadget and said: “It’s so delish, it makes mornings far more bearable. It’s also great for keeping in the office when that 3 p.m. slump hits but you don’t feel like going to a coffee shop (or spending $5 on cold brew).” Read more of her Takeya cold brew maker review.Promising review: “I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn’t cutting it for me. I didn’t know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there’s no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin’ every morning. Now don’t get me wrong, I love my Dunkin’, but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I’ve ever made. You need this!!” — Carmen E.
Promising review: “I saw this product on TikTok and automatically liked it! I love that it comes in so many different colors and the top is wood. I drink lots of water and needed a cup I could take with me everywhere. I could also put iced coffee in it too. I love that it came with two straws a clear one and white. I will be purchasing another one for my husband and also one for my mom in different colors!” — Rose
This kitchen gadget requires two AA batteries.Promising review: “The Zulay milk frother is very easy to use and only takes about 15 seconds to froth milk. We use ours every day for lattes and frothy hot chocolate. The sleek design makes it easy to hold while using. It comes with a stand so it’s easy to store on top of your kitchen counter or anywhere. This is a great gift and you can’t beat the price! You won’t be disappointed!” — Bono
BuzzFeeder Marquaysa Battle loves this hoodie and said: “I own this in black and I actually factually REFUSE to wear any other hoodie to the airport. I pull my sleep mask down and it’s a wrap, OK?! Asleep before takeoff. When you’re wearing it and dedicating your travel style to it like me, then be sure to shout out the Pond Los Angeles that makes it! It’s a woman-owned and Asian American-owned clothing and accessories brand based in Cali that intentionally uses a woman-led manufacturer to create its lovely pieces.”
Promising review: “What a great blanket. I bought it as a gift for my adult nephew, and he loved it. It’s big, it’s very soft and lightweight, and it actually looks like a real tortilla. For gifting, I rolled it up like a burrito and wrapped it in aluminum foil — like a real burrito. Even the dog got excited, licking his lips, thinking it was a burrito.” — Natalie A.
Promising review: “Perfect size for our bathroom and the gray is a beautiful marble.” — Ansley
Love other accessories like berets and fanny packs? Wildflower and Company is a Brooklyn-based business that has you (and everyone else on your list) covered with their cute products.Promising review: “I ordered the charcoal hat with the Great Wave patch, and it’s absolutely gorgeous! Love the fact that the hat is adjustable. ‘One-size-fits-all’ hats ironically NEVER fit me, LOL. But with a bit of adjusting (the strap in the back can be made longer or shorter), this hat fit me perfectly! Super happy with this purchase, and definitely planning on buying more.” — Etsy Customer

The best part is that it doesn’t dry my lips. These would even make a great gift for friends.” — Melissa Migdal
Scent notes: orange, cinnamon, clove, and pine. It’s made by Sweet Water Decor, a small business based in Pennsylvania.Promising review: “I love this candle…love it, love it, love it! I just wish it was bigger! I really prefer larger three wick candles, so this one being so small is a bit of a bummer but the scent definitely makes up for it. With the slightest hint of fireplace smoke combined with winter, pine, and a bit of citrus, you can’t beat it. The snow is falling outside my window but I’m inside under a blanket, warm and cozy, with my Warm & Cozy candle making me smile. :)” — K.M. Helm
Promising review: “I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this.” — Cassandra S.

It also comes with the molds and rollers needed to make all kinds of sushi, including temaki, gunkan, nigiri, musubi, and sushi balls.Promising review: “I have wanted to learn to make sushi at home for quite some time but was unsure what it entailed. This kit is complete and so easy to use that I was able to make great sushi the first time I tried it. The instructions are easy to understand. The inclusion of the cutting guide for the finished sushi roll allows you to produce beautiful and appealing sushi. The bazooka took a couple of tries to get the correct amount of rice, but it worked like a charm. I would suggest checking online for directions on preparing the rice properly, but otherwise, the included directions were complete. I loved this kit so much I am considering buying additional ones to give my family as gifts.” — Denis Bekaert
Promising review: “Gave this as a gift and you’d think I had gifted them something beyond amazing! They LOVED it and thanked me profusely. I work in a high school and students were also wearing these at school this winter. Popular, Cozy, Warm and very Soft.” — L. Hulce

Great customer service, quick delivery, and a fabulous product. Two thumbs way, way up!” — John Grace
Promising reviews: “I have always loved fashion and dressing up, so these glasses were the perfect addition to my accessories. They perfectly hug your face, and for the cost, they are extremely well made. I wore them to a friend’s birthday, and everyone was shocked to hear how inexpensive these are.” — katherine”These are so cute and kinda look similar to the Prada sunnies. So they’re perfect [and] affordable! I loved that both pairs come with their own dust bag, making it super convenient to carry in your bag without getting scratched or crooked.” — Amazon Customer
Do you know they hate typing on a laptop? No worries, because this keyboard comes with a mouse and a USB receiver (compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Mac) that’ll make their next typing session a breeze. Promising review: “I love this keyboard! It’s only been a couple of weeks, but it makes me excited to write again. I ordered blue, it’s lovely and easy to use, haven’t had any problems with the keys being round like I thought I would. The mouse is fine, the connection hasn’t had any problems yet. I feel like the price is reasonable, it’s not super fancy with lighting, but it has a nice aesthetic and fluffy sounding clicky clackies.” — Eric
Promising reviews: “I originally bought the 7-inch moon for my husband as a gift of ‘I love you to the moon and back’ for our anniversary. Well, I loved his moon so much that I kept stealing it from our bedroom and taking it to the living room. These moons charge up fast with a cord (with a cool ‘blue moon’ color when charging) and then once charged, they are completely free from cords or any connection dependence. They light up with a very detailed real moon surface design in white or yellow, and it will totally mesmerize you. You can literally ‘hold the whole moon in your hand’ and use it as a cordless and battery-free lamp, a night-light, a lantern, or quasi-candle in the dark. These moons are the best gift for friends, family, coworkers, kids, pets, and spouses.” — Amazon Customer”Got this for my niece last Christmas and she loved it. Very nice for fall decor as well. I’d suggest this to anyone not sure what to get someone for Christmas.” — jake reeves

They’ll get a custom Apple AirPods clear rubber case, a detachable keychain, and a neck running strap! For more custom AirPod cases and iPhone cases, check out marblefy on Amazon Handmade.Promising review: “If more than one person in the house has Pros, then you will love this because it has your name and it’s clear so you can still see the original white case. I wish the case had a charger port cover and a cuter clip, but you can easily take it off and add a new one. Overall, I like how the top and bottom case are connected for security even though its pretty snug on, it just gives me security knowing it’s there and love the cord for those moments you may want that.” — Serena
Promising review: “I got this for my husband for Valentine’s Day. He loved it! He said the meat was really good and flavorful. His friends thought it was the best bouquet ever. He’d order it again just for the jerky.” — Kelly Hansen
This tool has three touchpoint thickness zones and eight adjustable intensities, so they can customize their cleansing session based on their skincare needs.Promising review: “I have sensitive/oily skin and the brushes that have the spin brushes tend to hurt/irritate my face. But THIS! This is great on my skin like it promises. This actually cleans your face REALLY good just like it says it will do too! It’s 100% worth every penny!” — Kate Nault
