Purity is a small business that specializes in tech products and accessories. 

Promising review: "I've tried so many different types of earbuds over the years with no success. But these Purity open-air headphones are the first pair I've ever tried that actually fit well, don't hurt, and sound great! So, after many years of trying, I've FINALLY found the right ones for my ears!! Woohoo! They are comfortable, lightweight, have great sound clarity, are easy to operate, and have great battery life. People can hear me clearly when I talk on the phone with them.  I definitely recommend these, especially if regular in-ear buds don't work for you either." —CPic

Check out a TikTok of the breakfast maker in action. 

Promising review: "With my hubby being everywhere, I need to be there in the morning when I'm rushing to fix my breakfast before rushing off to work. I requested this little breakfast maker for Christmas. And it has really helped! I can put my eggs and bacon in their griddles, put a half bagel or slice of bread in the bottom drawer, set the timer, and then forget it until the bell rings. It's made my mornings much more tolerable. And it's so easy to clean!" —JTC

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto

Check out a TikTok of the cocktail book in action. 

Promising review: "This book has easily become one of my favorites. Great base knowledge and would recommend it to anyone seeking to further educate themselves on spirits and cocktails. Even the first few pages are full of useful information. Purchase this for yourself or even as a gift. I cannot say enough good things about this book." —Adriana

Promising review: "Great afternoon activity. All of the flower Lego sets are great for a break and getting your mind off things. We have several different flower ones in a vase and they all seem to fit nicely together." —Jeremy Moeller 

Promising review: "Bought as a gift, but I will get one for myself. I was totally surprised at the quality of the speaker part of this. Got it for my grandson for Christmas. He set it up while here after opening, and we listened to Christmas music all day." —Dawna324

Promising review: "The hype off TikTok is real about this scent. It’s very warm and vanilla-smelling. Almost like a beachy vibe. I hate how no one would give me any kind of explanation on how it smelled, but glad I jumped on the bandwagon with this one." —Karli Bullins

Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in 11 other scents).

The Glamour Boutique is a small business that specializes in preserved flower bouquets. 

Promising review: "Looked great on arrival, packaged nicely in a nice box. I bought this for my Valentine's date, and she loved it and even repurposed some of the flowers. 10/10 recommended, and they don't have to worry about a vase. It smells really, really good too. I was very impressed, to say the least." —Leslie Mensah

Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in four styles). 

Promising review: "I literally have no idea why I bought this. It was a suggested item and looked interesting, so I was like, 'lol, okay.' I can’t believe how much I like it, LOL. It looks and feels much nicer than you’d think, and the battery lasts forever. It has three shades of light, and it’s extremely bright." —K

Promising review: "Kendra Norton’s beautiful art books, Reverse Coloring books, have changed my world! My whole life I thought I was not creative and therefore had zero artistic ability. Now this has become my favorite form of artistic expression. I turn on music and/or an audiobook and allow myself to go for an adventure outside of my mind, beyond my mind, if you will. This has become my favorite way to process through difficult emotions and experiences I’m working through." —K. DeWitt

The company provides the paint and a code to use their tech to turn any pet photo into a "paint by number" template, so you will need a printer to generate the image! Also, fun fact: this was one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2023.

Promising review: "This was so much fun! I tried three different photos in the tool they give you. It shows you a preview of each painting, which is really helpful when deciding which image to go with. Not every picture came out as good, so definitely try a few! Easy to use and fun to paint — excited to frame it! Actually have some paint left over and will try to do another one!" —Jonathon Kebert

Frost Buddy is a small business that specializes in universal thermal-controlling drinkware. 

Check out a TikTok of the Frostbuddy in action. 

It comes with a lid, so you can also use it as a regular thermos to keep drinks icy cold and super hot! TBH, you can even pop a hot coffee cup into this to keep it warm, so the Frostbuddy is technically also a Hotbuddy. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this! I use this all the time for my coffee from Starbucks, and it is amazing! I'll get iced coffee at 9 a.m. and still have ice in it at 7 p.m. I have many Frost Buddy products now, and their entire line is phenomenal. This is definitely a must-have item for coffee or tea drinkers. I love that it also comes with a leakproof lid so that you can put your own drink in there, too. Overall, awesome product!" —EHW

Paola Brown Shop is a Texas-based Etsy shop established in 2012 that specializes in personalized and seasonal gifts. 

Here's what fellow BuzzFeeder Heather Braga has to say about this small biz: "My friend has one of these custom nameplates (pictured above, left), and as soon as she showed it to me, I *knew* I needed one. She loves that it's not just a sticker — it's acrylic — so it won't simply fall off. I ordered one immediately... it arrived swiftly and in perfect condition. I adore the way it adds some exciting pizzazz to my cup without actually being a permanent addition. It's totally not a necessary item, but it definitely sparks joy and makes me smile."

Get it from Paola Brown Shop on Etsy for $11.79 (originally $15.72; available in 60 plate styles, two sizes, and 14 font colors).

Witchy Cauldron is a small business that specializes in modern tarot and oracle products. 

Promising review: "This is a great beginner deck for learning tarot, but it is also good for tarot readers who need to brush up or refresh after being inactive for a while. They are very colorful and informational. Each card has a colorful picture representing the Rider-Waite deck, and upright and reversed meanings are provided on opposite ends of each card, plus additional information. They are great cards!!!" —Mocha Empress Oracle & Tarot

Claasico is a small business that specializes in wallet and tech accessories. 

Promising review: "Loved everything about it. Only problem is I can never find my purse since it isn't necessary 99% of the time. Hands-free carrying is great, and it can even fit a pen, stylus, and checks in with my phone. I can also attach my keys! This is a great purchase. Shoppers at stores have asked me where did I buy it because they wanted one too." —Kindle Customer

Check out a TikTok of the magic puzzle in action. 

Promising review: "This puzzle was delightful from start to finish. The oddly shaped pieces, the story being told within it, the surprise ending puzzle, the checklist hunt, the mobility of the sections, and the characters and design all gave it — and me! — such life. Regular puzzles tend to bore or frustrate me, but each time I worked on this, I was full of joy." —Brittany

Promising review: "This food-safe container is a great option for an on-the-go charcuterie or for keeping these items on hand at home for casual use. It is a perfect size and shape for the intended purpose and seals nicely. We will definitely use this item for camping and transporting charcuterie ingredients to gatherings, where we build the board upon arrival. It also is a good size to drop in a cooler, which is ideal when camping. I definitely recommend it." —WMD

Promising review: "I love this vase! I always have fresh flowers in my home, and this vase is absolutely adorable.

Promising review: "The Fellow Stagg alternative you're looking for. I'll be honest, I was one of those Fellow Stagg cultists, and mine broke after some time using it. I'm so glad I checked reviews on Reddit and Amazon because this thing is amazing. It looks modern and sleek. The temperature controls are accurate and plenty. The boiling speed and 'hold' function are amazing. And most importantly the price is one-third of the Stagg. (Less if on sale!!)" —JLS

Promising review: "Everyone thinks it's expensive, lol. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on this ring already. I think it’s super cute and the perfect amount of simple and fun.

Standing in lines for the ride, almost EVERYONE asked me about them. They thought I bought them there, but surprisingly, NOT ONE shop at any of the Disney properties sold this. I sold one to someone in the line!" —Melissa Rae
