Promising review: "I absolutely adore these!!! They are so cute and definitely do the job! They keep the surface free from water rings and make me giggle!" —johnny williams

Check out a TikTok of the weekly meal planning pad in action. 

Sweetzer and Orange is a small business specializing in planners, stationery, and educational products. 

Promising review: "The magnet is great, sticks to fridge very well, and does not slide or move. Perfect for planning meals and adding needed grocery items to the right side. Then you just tear off the right side and head to the store. This has made our family meal planning so much easier!" —SandyBeach

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles). 

Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this cutting board. It is made so well and looks so expensive. Every time I have guests, I will use it as serving tray or display for charcuterie and I always get compliments on it." —Lorrin Farrell

It's SPF 30, water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, and comes with a free air freshener. It also smells AMAZING.  

Promising review: "I LOVE this sunscreen. It’s the best smelling sunscreen I’ve ever smelled and it came with a car air freshener of the scent (they know it smells too good 🤣). The foam application is super nice too. It feels great in my skin and I can’t wait to buy another one!" —Kaylei

It can measure up to 3 feet, so it's better for measuring smaller things.

Promising review: "I thrift a lot and often wish I had a measuring tape to compare picture frame sizes, furniture, etc. This has come in handy so many times. It can attach to your keychain/bag, or you can keep it in your car for such an occasion." —KB

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

Promising review: "These are the best children’s bandages. I love the color-changing design — it makes these fun and less daunting for a child to wear. I actually have to hide these so my child does not put these on for fun/fashion statement, haha. Very comfortable and flexible material that stays on quite well/but not too much so that it is hard to take off." —Mama N 

The birria bombs are made with arbol, ancho, and guajillo and make enough broth for 5–7 people. Reviewers say to use beef broth instead of water for a bigger punch of flavor. 

Promising review: "Cooking the birria was super simple: just meat, water, and bombs. Sooo tasty. Better than the ones from our local restaurants. I cooked it range top and did have to add additional water to ensure enough consomme, but so worth it." —Justin

Promising review: "While they don’t reduce my dryness, I have never slept better wearing these before bed. The heat is so nice. The fit is perfect. Light on my face, and after about 30 seconds, I don’t even feel it around my ears. I’m so glad I discovered these. Will be buying again!" —Tiffany Campbell

"So soothing and relaxing. 😌 I deal with chronic pain on a 24/7 basis, and that can include headaches, migraines, anxiety, and sleeplessness. These eye masks are such a nice way to relax and drift off to sleep. They smell like lavender and are warm against my eyes and temples, helping to soothe any tension or puffiness from being upset over the pain. They were a gift to me, but I’ll be ordering more. 💜" —Megan Masser Reaves

Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick. 

Promising review: "This color is beautiful and shows up differently on everyone. The thing that I like most about this product is that it stays on all day, even after eating multiple meals. I have to use a microfiber cloth to remove it at night!" —Rasheda

Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (also available in nine other colors). 

Promising review: "I am going through some legal things, and this folder has been perfect for keeping all my paperwork together! And boy can it hold a lot! The snap closure is very sturdy, and the color is spot on!! An amazing value and great quality!" —MomOf2

Get it from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "I purchased this for my adult daughter’s birthday. As you probably know, they are hard to shop for. The look in her eyes when she opened the package said it all. She also said it was so beautiful that she might use it as bathroom decor. This is elegance in the soap world." —Jus Sheryl

Get them from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in five styles). 

Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and six colors). 

Promising review: "You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!" —Megan Huffman

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors). 

Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" —Karen

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight sizes and 13 patterns). 

Promising review: "I love the uniqueness of these watering tools! They sparkle subtly in the sunshine and provide me with the peace that I can go a few days without watering! Well designed, and I would buy from this seller again!" —Laura

Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99.

Promising review: "Followed instructions for use and had great results cleaning a nightmare of a mess from baked-on chili in the microwave." —Rj

Peter Pauper Press is a family-owned small business founded in 1928.

Promising review: "I am absolutely in love. I have always struggled with being overwhelmed with to-do lists (both having them in my mind and making them). This cute, fun design makes that task less daunting and easier, thanks to how it’s organized. It lets me divide tasks up into immediate needs and tasks to do eventually, as well as gives me a space for appointments and reminders for calling people. I also thoroughly enjoy the mood marker and the 'how was your day' section, as it also helps me track my mood. I absolutely adore this, and it will be a positive permanent addition to my life." —River

Dryer balls are eco-friendly *and* budget friendly because you can use them over and over. Friendsheep is a small business that sells dryer balls handmade by women in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Promising review: "These are so incredibly cute! I love that they look like soot sprites! I used them today and noticed a significant decrease in drying time. No static, and able to be scented with essential oils. A great alternative to polyester, single-use dryer sheets." —Daria

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $21 (also available in nine other styles).

Promising review: "Love these little guys! I don’t use them with delicate items, but for most everything else they work so well to fluff up clothes and ensure that everything gets dry (especially when you tend to overload your dryer like me). Such a fun, cute design too! I can’t help but smile when I toss them in the dryer. I kept one and gave the other to my daughter, who also loves them. Great Christmas stocking stuffer!" —janetjw

Promising review: "I’ve used a lot of different hydrocolloid acne patches with varying results, but so far these are the only ones that seem to actually resolve the zit in a day or two. Others have irritated my skin, or are difficult to remove and pull at my skin; these don’t do any of that. They stick quite well, but come off without a problem when I’m ready. They are cute too, and I like that I can’t see the gunk it pulls from the outside of the sticker." —ML

Promising review: "I thought this product was so cute and unique, I had to purchase it for my mom. I don't think they are really made for serious cleaning — just occasional cup or spoon cleaning — but they are SO adorable and fun." —AllieClaire

Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.01 (also available in sushi or sloths).

Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me. Smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." —LuckLocust

Promising review: "Love this little guy, and he gets a giggle out of my coworkers. Works perfectly and cleans super easily. Can hold larger amounts of tea too, and if you have tea that can be steeped multiple times, just put him in a container in the fridge and re-steep for the next cup." —Codi

Promising review: "Have I become a salt snob? I asked for a marble salt box for Valentines Day, and I couldn't very well put common table salt inside such a beautiful thing, could I? No. I did a bit of research and found out that Maldon's Sea Salt flakes are the gold standard... even better than the pink salt I bought at the big box store that rhymes with Bosco! This salt's texture is a delight and the flavor is clean and bright (without being sharp). This is a little luxury in my kitchen, and every time I use it, I'm like, 'Dang. This is the good life!'" —Indiana A.

Get a box it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in smoked salt, and in a beautiful almost 50-ounce bucket with the same design).

This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying. 

Promising review: "This is whimsical and fun; my kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.' Love it." —Vik V

Get it from Amazon for $8.55+ (available in four colors). 

Promising review: "I have three cats and two dogs. Needless to say, we have a lot of pet hair everywhere. Our very light-colored couch constantly looks dirty from all of the hair bunched up on it. This little tool comes in with one sweep and removed it. I'm using this thing on everything now. It's a miracle worker." —Paul and Laura

Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" —Lindsey

I love, love, love this little charger! It charges my phone unbelievably fast — sometimes I'll plug my phone in just while I'm going through my nightly routine and the battery will be 20% fuller by the time I'm done. It lights up when connected to a device and then turns off automatically about two minutes after being disconnected. The screen changes colors depending on what type of charge it's providing (green for super, blue for fast, yellow for normal, and white for none); I'm not 100% sure what effects the charge speed, but I always get the blue light when I charge my iPhone 12. You need to supply your own cord, but I have a million of those anyway. I definitely recommend as a gift for retro design lovers! 

Promising review: "So glad I got this! It changes color whenever you charge and the battery charging performance is up to par with a standard Apple charger. Its design is super adorable." —Grace B.

Check out a TikTok of the flower scrubber in action. 

Promising review: "Love having this on my kitchen sink. It’s happy and cute and makes me happy. One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use, but it’s still cute, and I could’ve been more careful holding it. It's not a super stiff brush, but it works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well, and food doesn’t get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." —Hannah Jo Wilson

These are big enough for tables and chairs with a foot circumference of 7–17 cm.

Promising review: "I love these so much, I bought a second set. They’re so easy to put on and they actually STAY. They look like little paws!!" —sam

Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $16.99.

Promising review: "I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It's not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great, but even without it, this cushion is soft and comfy! It's still worth every dime. It's perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft, cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it." —mandarabbit

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier, and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew and mold-free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine

Get it from Amazon for $5.98 (also available in a two-pack).

They stay cold for about an hour outside a cooler and can also be microwaved for a warming effect.

Promising review: "My 38-pound, 2-year-old corgi loved this dog puzzle toy! It was fun watching him try to solve this brain teaser puzzle, which he played with for about 15-20 minutes. I felt like he was actually being challenged, which provided mental stimulation." —Remy
