Promising review: "Goldilocks would love this candle because everything is just right. Some candle scents are too strong or fake smelling and some are too weak – this candle is perfect. The subtle, yet alluring scent provides nice background fragrance for any room and burns very clean. I'm sensitive to candles with fake chemical smells or wax that burns dirty and these candles are my go-to because they never cause a problem. The glass jar gives a nice glow and the candle has a long life. A little more money than most on here but worth it for 'just right.'" —Sterling
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in six scents).
My husband and I both have clothes from Vuori and we've definitely swapped pieces from each other's closets more than once. My Vuori leggings are the only leggings I've ever worn that I've actually gotten compliments on, even the basic black is that good looking! The quality is obvious and the comfort is on point. These are totally worth the investment, as a gift *or* a gift for yourself.
Promising review: "I love the high-waist style. The material seems very durable. The best part...dog hair doesn't stick to it as much as other leggings. :P" —Jessica C.
Get them from Vuori for $89 (available in sizes XS–XL).

Promising review: "My boys are dart gun crazy so I was thrilled to find something they could shoot that I wouldn't be pelted with. Though the blast of air can topple a tower of cups or even flip a spinning target, it does so without any projectiles. Win for the whole family. However, it does get annoying to get blasted with the air in the head. Annoying but harmless." —Erin

I own the Crater version of this piece and find myself staring at it constantly. I still can't believe it's one sheet of paper! This is a high quality piece of art that'll instantly elevate your home decor.

I have this bag! After using random tote bags to carry my essentials in for years, I wanted a grown up option that was just as convenient as my totes. This has a surprising amount of space in it (I always have a reusable grocery bag in it and can still fit my phone, keys, wallet, medicine, etc.) and it upgrades every outfit I wear with it. All the heart eyes for this one, all of them!
Get it from Vestirsi for $250.
Promising review: "This is an extremely soft blanket. The color is spot on. I gifted to my mom for Mother’s Day and she loved it. She loves how soft it is. It’s big enough to cover her body. This is a very comfortable blanket. I would love to order more if they come out with light grey or white." —Isis Cazares

It's also vegan and great for dry, sensitive lips!
Promising review: "Wow. I was so skeptical of Glossier and didn't understand the hype at all but I'm so glad my cynicism led me to buying this only to prove myself wrong. This product is AMAZING...I have very a small bottom lip and usually overline it using a red or pink shade blotted. It's advertised as already having the blotted look so I figured it'd save me some time in the morning and bought this. I opted for a more muted shade to see if it'd make a difference against my natural lips and boy am I SO glad I bought this. This matches my lip color perfectly. I couldn't even tell I was overlining my lips. My lips look three times bigger without looking tacky. It's so subtle no one would ever notice. This is the perfect effortless glam look, which is exactly what the brand evokes and they do it so well!" —nh
Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in six shades).
I got this ring after cancelling a Disney trip this year and am so glad I have it! It's obviously a ton of fun for Disney fans, but it's also a genuinely lovely ring with a fun design. The entire Disney Princess line is a great way to subtly show off your Disney love.
Get it from JTV for $526.49 (available in sizes 5–10).
Promising review: "This is so lovely. I bought it to hold my dishwashing wand and little bottle brushes. They fit perfectly. It’s smallish, so you’d have to use smaller, shorter flowers to use this as an actual vase. But it’s a cute and interesting little decor piece as is. I just love it and found it even cuter in person." —M.M.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two styles).
Promising review: "We purchased this as a Christmas gift for a notoriously hard-to-stump puzzle person. He undoes normal puzzles in minutes. However, he was stumped by this for almost an entire hour! It is difficult to put together but there are specific directions. We also adjusted the length of the rope by just tying the knot shorter. Bottom line is, it was worth the effort to see him stumped by this puzzle and it made him enjoy his beverage even more!" —Alyssa

This Hunt A Killer theme is slightly sillier than others, with included "weapons" like oven mitt and spatula cards, meaning it's a little more family friendly if you have young sleuths who would like in on the fun. This all-inclusive box will give you two to five hours of game play.
Get it on sale from Hunt A Killer for $104 (originally $149).
This requires three AAA batteries, not included.
Promising review: "This is the most fantastic umbrella ever! I'm very glad I bought it. It's very durable, even in high winds. It slides open very smoothly and doesn't catch when I'm taking it down. The carrying case is very helpful and allows you to have your hands free when not in use. It can cycle through all of the colors constantly, or it can stay on just one. It has the options of red, green, blue, purple and white. There's also an LED flashlight on the bottom of the handle. It takes three AAA batteries and they seem to last quite a while. The lights are bright enough to see even during the day time. I was very surprised and pleased at the quality and durability. A great buy." —SM

This gem has seven functions: rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer. And be sure to check out my BuzzFeeder coworker's rave review!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman

Promising review: "Our house is decorated in more contemporary decor and this scratcher sits nicely next to our Noguchi Table and doesn't miss a beat. The item is reversible and I expect to get a good lifespan out of it. At very least four times what I would have with the cheaper cardboard scratchers. At that point, they have more than paid for themselves." —Diana de Avila
Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in three colors).
This works with square tissue boxes, be sure to grab ones that fit!
Promising review: "I'm in a dorm room and wanted to keep my color scheme going throughout the room (white/blush/gold), and multi-colored tissue boxes can look chaotic in such a small space. It's cute and functional." —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $5.75+ (available in two colors).
I recently ordered two of these, one of each beloved cat. I sent in a photo each, making sure their faces were clear and forward-facing, and then picked my favorite outfits (there are a ton to chose from)! I can't believe how great the results are. The quality is fantastic and they are laugh out loud funny and fab. I'm a huge fan.
