Step one: Hello Kitty-shaped pasta. Step two: thrive.
If you're into tie-dye in general, I implore you to look at the seemingly INFINITE styles of tie-dye this hoodie comes in. The "Cotton Candy" one is giving me major Taylor Swift vibes, y'all.
Promising review: "This hoodie was everything I hoped and dreamed! The colors are vibrant and the hoodie is soft on the inside and nice and warm. I ordered a large because I love my hoodies to be pretty loose on me and it was perfect. If you're looking for a tie-dye hoodie this is the one." —Hannah B.
Get it from Amazon for $23.94+ (available in 34 tie-dye variants and sizes XS-XXXL).
Promising review: "I first spotted this at a swank modern hotel room with all-white decor. I love how it hides an unsightly branded tissue box — it practically vanishes! so I had to buy it for my child's bedroom! It looks so cute with the tissue-y 'billow' of smoke, and is functional too. Every modern minimalist's dream, it could be sold at the MoMA or in an Alessi-type store. If you love white decor, modernist furniture, and lean towards a clean minimalist, Scandinavian style, you'll be very happy with this purchase." —nycgirl
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in four colors).
If you're waffling on the waffles, you can also use it for hash browns, paninis, biscuits, and even (gasp) PIZZA. If you can dream it, you can mini waffle it.
Promising review: "At first, I laughed thought it was too small to really do anything. I was so wrong — it's an amazing little waffle maker!! Can cook almost anything on it! I have cooked eggs, waffles, and french toast." —S PETERSON
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine other non-heart-shaped colors).
Evil Queen is a Los Angeles-based, woman-owned business that specializes in handmade candles. Each candle is made with vegan ingredients, cotton wicks, and has an over 50 hour burn time.
The "Rainy Daze" candle smells like a "light, fresh scent of rain with fresh florals."
Get it from Evil Queen for $20.
This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it.
Promising review: "Wow. This thing is amazing. Small and so easy to use. My husband kept saying it won’t actually light anything and was blown away when it did. We lit candles and paper to use as tinder with absolutely no effort. No fuel needed. Just a quick recharging. And no waste in throwing away those huge and never easy to use butane sticks. Love love it. Easy buying process so I would recommend everyone buy one." —Diane Bold
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force.
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
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97.
Promising review: "The minute I opened the package I knew I made the right choice. This case is thick and well-made. I get so frustrated when my case falls and the AirBuds go in every direction. Couple of days ago the left ear fell out the case and a car ran over it. That cost me $69+ so I decided to take care of that issue and get a case. I purposely dropped it after I put the case in and everything was in tact.. I’m happy !!" —Karen
Get it from Amazon for $8.97.
Promising review: "I'm always thrilled when I open my fridge to see wine, but it's even more enjoyable to see this little guy chilling in the bottle top! It's solid silicone, made to fit several bottle sizes, and so adorable. It's better than re-corking because it minimizes airflow (and of course, store your bottle upright so you have the smallest amount of surface area in contact with air!) I can tell I will use it for years to come." —Ashleigh Blandin
Get it from Amazon for $15.34 (available in five styles).
Promising review: "Extremely happy with my purchase, the blanket is soft and well made. The colors are beautiful and the blanket is light enough to be used year round. Also comes with cute mermaid necklace and a drawstring bag." —Melissa
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in eight colors and two sizes).
I got one of these for my mom for Christmas (her entire kitchen is pink, it is a Big Mood) and can confirm it is QUITE beautiful in person.
Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six colors).
Tattoorary is an Etsy shop established in 2014 and based in the Netherlands that specializes in temporary tattoos, offering a large range of sizes, colors, and designs. Each tattoo lasts from two days to a week.
I am *obsessed* with these temporary tattoos — I waited for ages to get them, and I wish I'd done it much sooner, because I've had such a blast mix and matching them every week this summer as a fun quarantine distraction! They transfer beautifully with warm water and look like legitimate tattoos (my neighbor truly thought I'd gotten some great ink), and are so easy and gentle to remove with a light scrub in the shower.
Get them from Tattoorary on Etsy: the vintage floral tattoo for $8, and the little birds tattoo for $3.
Each pack comes with seven bath bombs: a lavender-scented cupcake, a mint-scented square, a coconut-scented heart ball, a ylang-ylang (floral and fruity)-scented ball, a rose-scented donut, a blueberry scented donut, and an orange-scented ball.
Promising review: "Best bath bombs ever. I have already used two of them, both of them created beautiful bubbles which is awesome. These ACTUALLY leave your skin soft, rather than the normal chemical dryness. Great value for high quality bath bombs. I highly recommend these and will only purchase these from now on! Completely worth every penny!" —Ada Angeles

Promising review: "I honestly was very scared to order such a plain purse. But let me tell you it may look thin and non-sturdy, but it has been the best every day purse. I literally shove everything in my purse, so much space and soo sturdy. Honestly who needs all these brand name purses when there are these affordable amazing purses that last and match everything. It has gone through trips, school, work etc. It honestly is the best purse I have ever had. I have an LV purse who I thought was going to replace this purse, and let me tell you I returned to this one for its accessibility. BEST PURSE HANDS DOWN FOR AN EVERYDAY PURSE!!! and you can dress it up to make it yours!" —Leslie A
Get it from Amazon for $14.09 (available in 48 colors).
Promising review: "Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts as I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off. I imagine these would also be great for pretend food for kids' play-sets or for a kid's trinket box. Overall I love them, love their feel, love the colors and am very happy." —Mary

Promising review: "I was so happy with the first one I bought that I purchased another shortly afterward. In addition to several levels of brightness for regular light, you can select one of several colors for mood/night lighting. You change your lighting selection with a simple finger tap on the top of the lamp. To turn on/off, just press lightly for a couple of seconds. The light is USB powered (most newer nightstands/tables have a USB port) and the battery lasts a long time. You get a lot of light for your money — I strongly recommend this product." —Amazon Customer

I bought this dress as a birthday present to myself (mood) and I love, love, love it. (That is me in the white version of the dress above, making my little sister take my picture, as one does.) It's so flowy and comfortable and the embroidery on it is vibrant and great quality. My favorite thing about it, though, is it pairs beautifully with pretty much every pair of boots I own, from Chelsea boots to cowboy boots (of which I have ... perhaps too many). And the rich colors in the embroidery make it SUPER easy to accessorize or pair a jacket with.
Promising review: "It is so much cuter in person than I expected. I sized up because I wanted to be sure it would be long enough to be work appropriate and not be snug on me. Would be cute belted also I think. Can be layered and worn with boots in the fall. Very nice transitional piece. Not quite Free People quality but pretty close!" —Meaghan

Promising review: "It’s so cute! I got it in flamingo pink, which my little one loves. It’s a shiny glossy finish — beautifully and elegantly made! It’s compact, small and portable. Very pleasant and satisfying shape aesthetically! Large power-on, volume, and pairing up buttons on the right underside and adorable blue indicator light on the left. It’s easy to pair with a phone and a laptop by Bluetooth. The sound is incredible for such a small device! Plus the built-in mic is great for using at home or in the car. It’s very convenient to charge by using a micro usb. I’m pleased with my purchase and would recommend to my friends." —Olivia

Promising review: "The best thing about them is that they don't leak! You would think that the round metal balls for loose leaf would be good, NOPE! You always end up with some of the leaf outside, but not these! These cute little things keep all the leaf inside their bellies! They are easy to rinse out and then thrown into the dishwasher. Great for gifts!" —Alt Deadpool

Firefly Feeling Bright is a Florida-based Etsy shop established in 2019 that specializes in artisanal jewelry.
Promising review: "I stumbled upon this mask chain, I think through a BuzzFeed list of items you didn’t realize you needed or something along those lines. My work is considered an essential service so I have been working nonstop since the start of the pandemic and wear a mask all day, everyday. I love this concept so much because there are instances when taking off my mask to eat/drink and I feel weird just setting it down on my desk. The mask chain keeps it handy and accessible at all times. I have gotten so many compliments on it and I love the bright, fun colors. I will be ordering more to give as gifts! Definitely recommend!" —Natalie Anderson
Get it from Firefly Feeling Bright on Etsy for $5.60 (originally $7).
Promising review: "We already had the pink Minnie bed and it has been a huge favorite of all of our cats (6 of them)! Every time we look one of our kitties is laying in it so we decided to spring for another to have the matching Minnie and Mickey set! It's super cute and it matches our blue guest room so we decided since they love it so much its a good way to keep the cat hair off of the guest bed. :) They can't resist this little cat house so it was an easy solution and much less kitty hair and blanket washing to deal with. They always go right for this little kitty cave!" —Dolli

Promising review: "This is the cutest way to hold keys ever! And it was mad easy to install: peel and stick. I don’t know how I ever survived just using a hook instead of this cute magnet cloud. Excellent housewarming gift too. I now take it with wine as a gift for any friends/family moving." —Clemmie C.
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
Promising review: "I'M SO HAPPY WITH THIS HEADBAND!!! I'm new to the skin care game and I've been trying to make myself get into a regimen. But I have really long hair and I hate tying it up because of the creasing, and my other headbands fall down/don't hold my hair back/start to hurt after a while (the workout headbands especially don't hold back my bangs because they are essentially one pice of rubber band). This headband is cheap, cute, stays in place, doesn't damage your hair, is thick enough to keep bangs/long hair out of your face and DOESN'T HURT ... like literally one of the best things I have bought from Amazon." —Taylor

Promising review: "I am the kind of person who loves to order large drinks but never finishes them. I bought this as a way to not only save on the amount of plastic/paper cups I use, but as a way to ensure that I will actually drink whatever beverage I am purchasing. I mainly use this for coffee and tea, but I love how easy it is to clean. I love that the mouth part is silicone, making it easy to clean and easy to drink out of it. It is a great reusable little mug that easily fits in my purse and in my car cupholder. I highly recommend this product!" —Barbra
