Expensive-looking? Yes. Gonna cost you an arm and a leg? Absolutely not.

FYI — these are NOT noise-canceling, however, many reviewers report great sound quality.

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer, Emma Lord, says: "I own a pair of these and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." 

Promising review: "They’re comfortable, hold a charge really well, and actually work really well in terms of noise cancellation. My daughter can be sitting next to me talking and I can barely even hear her. I almost prefer these in terms of sound quality to my Gen 1 AirPods as well. Easy to charge, easy to pair, very lightweight, and fit is adjustable. I’m very impressed with these headphones!" —Samantha H.

Promising reviews: "It’s much more spacious than it looks. It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome." —Su

Promising review: "Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — it looked perfect with jeans too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet that are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" —Mrs.D

Promising review: "Last Christmas I gifted the black and white checkered set to my son as his new kitchen tile, and he’s gotten so many compliments. I got the green set for my coffee station (green is my favorite color), and they look great. Great quality. They don’t overheat in the microwave. I highly recommend." —Orly Seelbinder

Promising review: "I recently purchased this rug, and it has truly transformed my kitchen space! The classic pattern and worn finish give a timeless look, blending perfectly with both modern and traditional decor. The luxurious velvet texture is soft and feels amazing underfoot, making it not only beautiful but also comfortable. What impressed me the most is how pet- and family-friendly this rug is. With kids and pets around, spills and messes are inevitable, but this rug handles them with ease. It’s machine washable, which makes cleaning incredibly convenient. I also love that it’s low-pile, so it fits seamlessly under furniture and doors without any issues. Pet hair and dander don’t get trapped, which is a huge plus for us! The non-slip TPR backing keeps the rug securely in place, so I never worry about it shifting or causing accidents. It's perfect for high-traffic areas like the kitchen. Plus, the sturdy edges and durable design mean this rug will last for years without shedding." —Gadget Lover

Promising review: "Wow wow wow!!! 🤩 This blanket is so soft, and the colors and image are so vibrant! The material is great. Lightweight but also snuggly weighted, I don’t know how to describe it. I almost bought the one from Anthropologie, but this is exactly like it, at a much lower price! I think I’ll be gifting a few of these because they are so nice!" —Amy

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six sizes and 45 styles)

Reviewers do note, however, that you should be gentle when it comes to the handles as they can be prone to snapping.

Promising review: "The heads of these brushes are the thickest and softest brushes I have ever felt in my entire life... The brushes applied and blended all my makeup FLAWLESSLY. I will never go back to a BeautyBlender again because those really absorb the product, and then you are stuck using more and more trying to cover your face!... Overall, I highly recommend these brushes to anyone looking to try something new, or someone who can't afford the Artis Brushes, as these are a perfect [alternative]. :)" —alexis johnson

Promising review: "I ordered this watch not expecting to be blown away because of the price. Boy, was I wrong! I immediately put on the watch as soon as I opened it up; It fits comfortably and the band wasn’t too small, which I was a little concerned about. I’ll definitely be looking to purchase other styles of this watch. Great buy, especially for the price!" —Jessica

Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year, and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get-togethers with friends, and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So, I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily, and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack, but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $22.91+ (available with two or five wires).

Promising review: "I got this set in royal blue. It fits true to size. They are beautiful, so comfy, and wash well. They are not even wrinkled out of the dryer. They are a little cooler than I expected. I thought they might make me too hot while sleeping but they don't! These are really perfect PJ’s in my opinion." —JBS

P.S. The feathers are removable for easier washing!

Promising review: "Obsessed...they are literally perfect. Thin without being see-through, soft, exactly the right size and fit I expected (I didn’t want shorts that were too long, and these are just right) with just enough space to be comfortable! The cherry on top is that the feather cuffs come off but don’t seem to be too fragile. I was worried they would slide around or fall off, but they seem really sturdy." —M Deely

Reviewers say that if you're in between sizes, you should size up! 

Promising review: "I love these slippers so much! It took a little time to get the feathers to fluff up, but they did, and now it's great. The slippers are so warm and comfortable that I want to wear them all the time. The memory foam insole has been holding up well to daily wear, and these keep my toes toasty warm." —skm_pdx

Get them from Amazon for $19.94+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 12 colors). 

Promising review: "I was so pleasantly surprised when I received this item. I originally bought two, liked them so much, I bought two more. The tray is sturdy and a generous size. The gold tone is nice and shiny and doesn't look cheap at all. The bottom is a very clear, good-quality mirror. The bottom of the tray is even lined with felt, so it doesn't scratch the surface it's on. I have quite the perfume and fragrance collection and [was able to put] more than a dozen perfumes on one tray!" —Laura Salvesen

Promising review: "My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these, and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated, and then, topped with the blanket, they are able to have a cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet, and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside, too." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have a toddler I have to cut everything up for, and these scissors have made my life INCREDIBLY easier.

Don’t look elsewhere; these are the best!" —Adrian

Promising review: "I am so thrilled with this shaker. It's beautiful and can sit out on my bar cart, is super functional, and doesn't leak. It's a conversation starter and everyone who has seen it loves the way it looks and asks where I got it. I will say, the bottom is quite heavy and this makes shaking a bit awkward but once you get used to it it's no big deal." —Amanda B

It is a treat to look at on my windowsill, 11/10 recommend for anyone who wants a bright spot in their living room!"

"If you're looking for silverware that can withstand regular use, maintain its luster, and elevate your dining experience, I highly recommend this set. It's a stylish addition to any home and a fantastic value for the price. One of the most remarkable aspects of this silverware set is its durability. Despite multiple trips through the dishwasher, these utensils have not tarnished or lost their matte gold finish. This is a testament to their high-quality construction. The matte gold finish seamlessly blends with my decor aesthetic, making it a perfect fit for my home. The sleek design and well-balanced weight of each utensil make them not only beautiful but also a great to eat with.
