Each mini jar contains 38 lotion bursts, and is a great size for stashing in your purse for moisture on the go. Just be mindful about keeping it somewhere warm, as the lotion bursts may melt and clump together. Promising review: "OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pop rubs into the skin. I've found they're the perfect size to get my hands and up to my elbows when I'm hecka scaly, and all the way up to the shoulders when I'm less dry. And there's no residue! No greasy feeling! Just soft and hydrated and awesome. If they come out with more scents besides this and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle Get it from Amazon for $7.47 (available in two scents). Promising review: "The timer works wonderfully [and] you don’t have to worry about blowing out the candle." —Linda Camhi You'll get one of seven pretty sick designs. Also, you'll need a 1GB–128GB TF memory card, since one is not included in the package. Promising review: "It's such a fun and simple design that you really will be taking photos of everything with it when you first get it." —Hannah Vo Rynor is a Cali-based Etsy shop whose vintage-inspired and handmade jewelry and accessories will make your punk and grungy dreams come true. Promising review: "I have worn this bracelet for the last 72 hours straight, just to put it to the test. It is so comfortable, I can sleep easily in it. I was worried that the legs would dig into skin and not at all! The centipede design itself is really well done, too. I highly recommend this piece!" —Ashley Promising review: "I'm actually extremely happy with these! They're great and seem like they'll hold up for some time. Might handwash them just to be extra sure that they don't fade or anything. Overall nice!" —Mirtha Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (available in seven other prints). Promising review: "This slow-rising butter squishy is really lovely. The texture is very soft and realistic, and it feels satisfying to squeeze. Overall, it’s a fun, stress-relieving little squishy that I would recommend to anyone looking for something soft, durable, and enjoyable." —Sam Promising review: "Beautiful. Made me giggle like I was a little girl again." —Amazon Customer Band.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. Promising review: "Looks just like the description and even better in person. Very eclectic and modern. Sturdy and holds a whole bouquet of flowers. Love it!" —Cymoril Promising reviews: "Got this as a Mother's Day gift! I always tell them I don’t want flowers because they die! This was a fun gift — and it was a great project! Was good for me to keep my brain active!" —Kim Nelson "I had so much fun assembling this bouquet. And it looks super cute on my mantel." —Emily Lago Candle Lume is a Canada-based candle-making biz whose eclectic candles range from realistic foods and drinks to animals and body parts.

Promising review: "These mesh embroidered socks are super unique and add fun detail to outfits! I constantly get compliments on them with my white sneakers. They are breathable and thin, so they slide into shoes and still keep my feet dry and comfortable. I am surprised at how durable they feel, as my socks often develop holes in the toes. These fit great and seem resilient!" —ay2128 Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four style combinations). Promising review: "Never knew I needed this until now! Smooth feel and very portable. Love the clip ring that can attach to my lanyard. Keeps me busy and stops me from finger picking! Challenging myself to learn new tricks improves my mental state. Quality design that’s durable. Love all the cool colors and styles, which made it hard to decide which one to buy!" —JavaMama Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in nine styles). Promising review: "This is such an amazing creation. You can tell the illustrator put in SO MUCH WORK into researching the Tay universe and capturing absolutely every detail possible of her entire career. I gasped at the, 'No, it's Becky' reference! A job very well done. I am so happy I purchased this!!" —Alexia Pitman Promising review: "Love everything about this. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is exquisite! This was a gift to myself as an avid book-lover." —Haley Murph Get it from Amazon for $209+ (available in two sizes). Yaya & Co. is a small biz and ethical home decor brand based in Cleveland, Ohio. Promising review: "Super comfy! Colors are vibrant, and it makes working a little more enjoyable. Love all the YaIa products, but I'm happy to see one that I can incorporate into work!! " —Kalie Gardner Promising review: "Really happy with these. My housemate is a professional musician and likes the music in the house much louder than I do. Wearing these keeps us both happy, and it’s still easy to understand regular conversations. Bonus points because they are comfortable to wear and easy to remove. Most people don’t notice them, but if they do, they just comment on how cool-looking they are. Really nice design." —D Calvin Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in five other colors). Promising review: "Absolutely perfect addition to my bar cart. Great color variety and thick, absorb liquid, and can be used as decor!" —Reilly Morgan Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in four other styles). Uncanny Brands is a small business making funky, pop culture-themed kitchen gadgets. Promising review: "My husband loves these. I bought them as a Christmas present. The battery life is great; we've been using them for three months almost every day, and they're still going. Easy to use and set up. Super sturdy. Great size and grinding ability." —Toni Promising review: "Love how this makes my skin feel. I have been using it for three weeks and can tell a difference in my face. But the real surprise came from the difference I saw on the top of my hands. I usually take the product and mix it on the top of my hand, then apply it to my face. Well, my 60-year-old hands are plumper and look more refreshed. So if it’s doing that to my hand, then it’s great for my face." —Dally Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in four other styles). The Staff is a small biz making normal things cool. Get it from The Staff for $48 (available in three colors). Promising review: "Great size for purses, easy to take to the gym for a quick workout. It does scuff a bit easily, though. Doesn't really matter to me. It is the smallest bottle I own, but I use it every day." —eay261 Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in 26 colors) and Urban Outfitters for $19.95 (available in five colors). Promising reviews: "Bought this as a joke for my dad who loves Coronas. I was shocked at the sound quality! He absolutely loves it. It's perfect for around the Solo stove with his Corona bonfire poker!" —courtkenn "Great for my bar cart for poolside music! Very durable speaker, good sound!" —CeCe's favorites I have this in Melon Pop, and I can't wait to wear it to the beach this spring/summer. It's suuuuper soft, and the colors are so fun. And I'll be pattern-maxxing with my Brooklinen towel, too! Get it from Brooklinen for $41.65 (originally $49; available in four colors). Promising review: "Order these! These were such a fun time. It's now going to be a staple for us for bathtime fun. 10 out of 10 hands down. Each bottle takes a surprisingly long time, and you get so many bubbles." —lgiffer Promising review: "If you are a bourbon guy like me, this is a must-have set of coasters. They work great and look amazing. All my buddies compliment me on them and ask where I got them." —Ed Sawyer I've got one, and what can I say? My Instagram ads know me a little too well. It's super soft, and the bright cobalt blue color really pops! This water-resistant bag is wide enough to fit a 17-inch laptop (in fact, it can easily fit two), so it really is an on-the-go bag. Plus, there's an inner and exterior pocket, so storage options abound! You truly can't go wrong. Get it from Olend for $115 (available in, like, lots of colors). Promising reviews: "Put it on my sofa for spring. Peaceful vibe to it. Love love love it!" —anonymous "I love this pillow! Well made! Vibrant colors!! Highly recommend!" —G Promising review: "I was more than pleasantly surprised at both the quality and the function of these lamps! They provide plenty of soft light to serve the purpose of a bedside lamp. They are bright enough to read by while soft enough to relax to. The three different light hues provide different ambiance and are perfect for bedroom or background lighting." —SilkeE Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 19 colors). Promising review (from Shark Ninja): "This is my new obsession. I’ll carry it with me all summer. It gets very hot in the desert where I live, and this is a lifesaver. The fan itself is powerful, and you can adjust the level to your needs. The dry-touch mist gets very cold without adding humidity to you, so you can target it just where you need it. The 'InstaChill' cooling plate is icy cold, and just touching it to me cools my whole body down instantly. The attachments are easy to change, and it comes with extra wicks for the misting attachment. It’s very fast-charging with a USB cord. The digital dial is simple to use. I simply love this and will be using it all the time!" —Colleen S Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in six colors) or from Best Buy for $149.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "This is a fun and easy way to indulge my sweet tooth. It's incredibly simple to use; just add your favorite ingredients to the mug, pop it in the freezer, and enjoy delicious homemade ice cream in minutes. I've experimented with different flavors, from classic chocolate to fruity sorbets, and they all turn out perfectly. This little machine is a fantastic addition to my kitchen and brings a touch of joy to every dessert occasion." —Kleo Get a pack of two bowls from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two colors).
