There’s a ring in this post that gets hummingbirds to eat out of your hand. Now that’s happy.

This includes three dessert-holding bases. To use, you'll toss the bases into your freezer for 24 hours filled with the ingredients you chose. After the wait is up, the top works like a customizable immersion blender, easily mixing together your icy treat! P.S. I own this and can confidently say it's the reason I get to have homemade ice cream now. My kitchen is way too small for another appliance. Once I discovered this ice cream maker, I knew I needed it. It takes up basically no space, but it's dang powerful. Delicious.

Promising review: "I LOVE this machine! I had a Ninja Creami and returned it. It was way too bulky on my counter and wouldn't fit under the cabinets. And it was SO LOUD! It drove me nuts to use it. It was also more expensive. I ended up buying this as a replacement, and I am so happy that I did. You get three cups, and the machine fits in a drawer — not taking up space on the countertop! 

I have rheumatoid arthritis and was worried that it would be tough pushing down or pulling up on the handle while it mixes. That isn't the case at all! I can do it with one hand super easy! I would highly recommend this, and I would definitely buy it again!" —A. Legate

Not only does my cat sleep in this every day (pictured above), she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment.

Putting those teenage compliments aside (just kidding, I could NEVER), I really recommend these. Have you ever had an article of clothing that you can't get yourself to stop wearing? Because that's what is happening to me with these pants. The fabric is durable and stretchy. I knew I really loved these when I started wearing them instead of sweats when working from home. They're that comfortable. The design is striking without being "too much," which mostly means they can be an everyday statement piece. Aaand back to what really matters...they get complimented a lot. I love going out in these. They're clearly high quality and will last for ages. Which is great, because I plan on keeping them for...ever. 

Promising review: "Exquisite. The pants feel elegant for a jean material and have a very rich quality. It makes you look like one million bucks. You’re definitely gonna feel like it." —April W.

Promising review: "I brought this with me on a camping trip in the Colorado mountains. Once the hummingbirds discovered the feeder, they were around it constantly. After one day, they would come to the single-ring feeder held in our hands. It was so fun getting to see the hummingbirds up close." —Debbie B.

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. 

The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

This is the most important piece of skincare in my life. It's so small and lightweight that I treat it like ChapStick — I have one in my medicine cabinet *and* in every one of my bags. Which is a great thing, since sunscreen is such a crucial part of our skincare routine. This makes it easy to reapply regularly. There's no mess or product to smooth out; it just gives your face a dewy, hydrated glow. AND that's the other reason this is my #1 — it's the best moisturizer. I can't believe how hydrated my skin feels when I use this, and I'm always delighted by how good it looks. Seriously, this is top-tier makeup, sun care, and moisturizer all in one.

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen, and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin, and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin; like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

The dolls above are mine (well, my daughter's, but actually mine), and I love them. They are sturdy enough to stand on their own but soft and comfortable to snuggle up with. The quality is top-notch, and they've handled my toddler's love like it's nothing. It's not nothing, she loves rough. The only downside? They look so much like a circus animal cookie that I've been craving that nostalgic treat non-stop. In fact...I think I've got a bag of them stashed somewhere in my snack shelf. Time to go share cookies with these little critters.

You'll get one of seven 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

I have Geometry products all over my home, and I really value the brand. Once I saw that they had a larger, heavier blanket similar to their famous butter blanket... I knew I wanted it in my life. And this blanket *delivers* folks. I don't know how they were able to keep this as soft, light, and stretchy as the butter blanket while adding the extra weight (it's still super lightweight, but more suitable as lightweight bedding than smaller versions), but they made it happen, and I'm glad they did!

By the way, this beauty is dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "Gorgeous. It matches my original Spice Village so well. It looks beautiful on my table." —SW

I own this candle, and I am positively dazzled by it. The scent masterfully blends bergamot tea leaves, basil, and citrus zest top notes with heirloom tomatoes, cucumber water, and parsley middle notes, finished off with white woods, sage, and musk. It smells fresh rather than overpoweringly perfume-y. You'll simply feel like you opened up your window to a cottage garden. Gorgeous.

Promising review: "I bought this candle out of curiosity, but I have been so pleasantly surprised. I love the fresh, light summer scent. I just bought two more!" —Lesley Z

This is suitable for infants 0–24 months and is BPA-free, heavy metal-free, lead-free, phthalate-free, and plastic-free. Tentacle Teether is a small business and USA-made.

Promising review: "I’ve tried ALL the teethers, believe me. This one truly stands out. I love how easy it is for my baby to hold it himself. I also love how I can put it on my finger and make it a fun activity for us to share together. He really gets going on the individual tentacle suckers; they definitely seem more satisfying for his little gums than others we’ve tried. Love love this product, thank you!" —Quinn

Classic as these iconic frames may be, it's hard to find them for babies! Which is a shame, because they look fantastic. They're recommended for kids 2–8, but there are babies in the website images as young as 13 months — to help give you an idea of the fit on infants. If that age range sounds wide, that's because it is! A toddler's face becomes longer and leaner as they age, which means that if you've got a high-quality pair of frames, they can last for years. 

P.S. The image above with the toddler holding the candy cigarettes? Yeah, that's my kid. Once I put these glasses on her face, I knew she needed a Grease "Bad Sandy" photoshoot. And I wasn't wrong! I promise it's candy. And I promise these glasses are worth the spontaneous photoshoots they'll insist upon.

BTW — this is compatible with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and other prepaid carriers. It has over 36 hours of battery life on a full charge. The ultra compact design includes screens that work even when closed — you can actually dive into apps from the front of the closed screen. 

Promising review: "Great form factor. My first foldable phone in the smartphone era, and I love it. It is easy to slide into my pocket when folded, and it has a large enough screen to use once unfolded. Battery life is great. The outer screen quality is very good and works well with most of apps, except the Authenticator app. It is very nice to have tap pay with Google wallet (and EV charging app, and Google map, and calendar) to work perfectly with the phone folded. The camera is also quite good. This does not have a telescoping camera, but I am fine with that. The hinge motion is smooth and steady, and I would not worry about the reliability of the Titanium hinge in three years." —Shawn

Promising review: "The special edition is so pretty! I’m a huge Twilight fan, so when I saw those magic reveal edges I knew I had to have this. It’s honestly even better in person. Is it very Twilight aesthetic? Not really, but it’s so pretty I don’t even care. 🫣 I love the girly flower pop feel." —Jessica

Promising review: "This is great for teaching different types of breathing to help calm down. The distraction of following the directions can take your mind off your anxiety pretty quickly. There are several types of breathing techniques to choose from. Kids love it because it lights up and changes color." —L. Demro

Every once in a while, I come across a beauty product that I know is a new staple from the moment I try it on. When I first put this on my lips, the little narrator inside my head said, "Oh, this is it." And narrator me was RIGHT! It goes on so smoothly it feels like a spa treatment. No kidding. I prefer to only wear sunscreen and a bold lip — that's my whole makeup routine. Which means the lipstick matters. I hate having a balm underneath drying lipstick, but I like a bold color. This is an all-in-one product that doesn't dry out and can be applied several times without feeling bulky or looking chipped. It's a gift to our lips.

Promising review: "Best lipstick/balm I've ever owned. Beautiful colors. Feels natural on my lips. My new go-to everyday lipstick." —Lisa O.

Get it from Jouer Cosmetics for $28 (or subscribe and save) or from Amazon for $29 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "These are multi-functional, timeless, and well-made. I’ve been using both of these personally and for my company, and I can’t recommend them enough. These vases are a key part of how we display florals in our tablescapes. I love that you can put them into any candle holder and it changes the whole vibe! We use them for both faux and real florals. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and style, and I can always count on them to elevate our designs. Highly recommend! I personally have 12, and I’d love to see these come out in larger sets!" —Sasha Pintos

Promising review: "I thought I made a decent cup of pour-over coffee. I thought so until I had my first cup from this machine! It’s incredibly smooth and delicious. I don’t have time for manual pour-over in the morning, but I didn’t want cheap drip coffee. This maker fits the bill! So quick and easy to use. The price was my holdout for a while, but I’m so glad I bit the bullet and bought it. I’m the only coffee drinker in my house, and I make just one cup per day. Very happy with it!" —Lindsey Stout

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through multiple flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —SimpleStyleMe

Promising review: "This is the best float ever!!! It's a tad hard to inflate, but nothing wild. My son and I love this because we can both float together, and I can even put my legs through the third hole to lie back and float. I'd definitely buy this again; it's so cute and seems pretty sturdy." —steph & tom

This is such a hit gift! From a mother who genuinely loves getting candles and bath salts, and blankets...this one is a slam dunk for Mother's Day. 

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Not big on water bottle accessories? Weird. But that's okay, the chain is adjustable and can be hung on anything small, from a reading lamp neck to a bag strap. 

Promising review: "This cute little charm is a must! I was trying to find a way to differentiate my Stanley — the perfect way to do it! It’s small enough to not draw too much attention and minimalistic for those who don’t want to go all out. Cute little accessory with easy clip to add or subtract from tumblers." —Lily

The elephant kit listed above is recommended for first-time buyers as an introduction to the kit system (you can get these as a monthly subscription kit as well). This includes an illustrated animal guide with facts about African elephants, a keyring with additional info and entertaining elephant sounds, and eco-friendly materials. The box includes four packages, one with "guides and supplies" and three for the frame, landscape, and elephant.

I got this for my daughter (who is two...i.e. I got this for myself) so we could work on it as a family project and display it in her room. I am so impressed by the quality and care that has gone into this craft kit. So much so, in fact, that this has become an instant go-to gift for the "big kids" in my life. I'm getting the giant pangolin for MY room next.

I bought these for my daughter waaay before she was old enough to care, because I wanted to play with them myself! They're solid, made of high-quality materials (not plastic), and owned by a small business. Now that my kiddo is older, these have become a staple in our diaper bag on days at the park. We'll spend ages looking for special pieces, seeing if they fit, testing out different configurations, and then have a blast with some imagination play (these little critters get up to a lot of mischief!). Whether you're totally into playing fantastical, made-up games with your kids or need clear directions to create a little whimsy, these have got your back. I recommend them to every parent I know (and now, even those I don't — hi from me!).

To get the cat eye effect, apply one layer, cure with a UV light for one minute, add a second layer, and use the included magnet to move the glitter into the desired formation. A few reviewers didn't find the magnet to be strong enough, so you might want to grab this magnet kit as well. 

Promising review: "I've been doing my nails for years, and this was so fast and fun to use. I always wanted cat eye polishes in my collection and this was perfect! Especially for Christmas time! I will say they are thick, and I'm guessing that's because they're pigmented and packed with the little magnetic bits for maximum shine and glimmer. I feel like I have the northern lights on my nails! I would recommend playing on a few test nails beforehand to get a handle on the different patterns you can make with the magnet. Overall, would recommend it for anyone wanting something easy and fun!" —Hailey

Promising review: "I love this magnet and keep it on my desk. :)" —A Mo

Promising review: "It is a welded metal frame, which is really nice because it’s solid and there's no assembly required. The cushions and fabric feel really nice. I like to lie on my back a lot and prop up my head, so I love the fold-out option. It’s easy to detach the backrest and angle it however you want. It’s also nice that the cushions aren’t far off the ground, so you can stretch out your legs while you lie down. Also comfortable as a chair, and the dark gray is super versatile with modern furniture. All the cushions have handles, so I think it is meant to be taken apart. Really cool design all around." —Pam

Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord (who convinced *me* to start eating Built Bars) has to say about them: "Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!"

Promising review: "So I am a ride or die for Eos Vanilla Cashmere. I can't tell you how many bottles of the lotion I've gone through just this year. I absolutely love [it]. When I heard about the perfume, I was SO excited. It's exactly like the lotion; it's perfect. It lasts quite a while. I spray it on me before I go to bed, and I can smell it when I wake up. Plus, you get a good amount for the cost, so it's worth it. This is another EOS item that will be on a subscription now, too. I am dying for shampoo and conditioner, so I hope that's in the works soon! Please Eos! I am a Vanilla Cashmere goddess! Hahaha! 💕"—Nikki

For best results, the brand recommends stretching your skin with one hand, laying the blade flat, and then shaving against the grain. 

Promising review: "I tell everyone about this! No nicks, cuts, or razor bumps! The battery life is surprisingly long, too! I use this ALL over my body. Trust me when I tell you it saves you time and pain compared to a normal razor!! Seriously, never going back to a plastic one after this!" —Holly

It comes with the air fryer, one 6-quart glass container, one 2.5-quart glass container, a removable base, two crisper plates, two storage lids, and a chef-inspired recipe book.

Promising review: "This Ninja Crispi Pro blew me away. I’ve owned a lot of kitchen gadgets over the years, but this one instantly became a top-tier favorite. It’s powerful, it’s simple, and everything about it just works. The controls are easy to understand, the performance is consistent, and the food comes out perfect every single time — crispy where it should be crispy, juicy where it should be juicy. I use it for quick meals, full dinners, reheats…everything. It saves time, keeps the kitchen clean, and honestly makes cooking fun again. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. If you’re thinking about getting one, don’t hesitate. It’s absolutely worth it." —Darnell

Promising review: "This is a new favorite in the office candy dish. Everyone was so excited to see these and commented on the nostalgia from these 'grandma candies' and how good they tasted. They said they are hard to find, and several people asked where I got them and what they are officially called. These were fresh (not sticky and stale), well packaged, and tasted exactly as they should. I’m definitely restocking when I run out." —Andrea Raney

This has 133 pieces and is made for ages 9 and up. The larger daisy measures over 7.5 inches, and the smaller daisy measures over 6.5 inches.

Promising review: "I just love these Lego Botanicals! I got these daisies to add to the sunflowers I already have. The directions are easy to follow and really fun to put together. It took me about an hour to finish the kit. We all know Legos are built to last, so I'm sure these flowers will too! The best part is they will never wilt or die so you can enjoy these all year long. The colors are bright, cheery, and the flowers go well with the other Lego Botanicals that I own. I will be adding more very soon, and I highly recommend." —Luv2shop

This measures 12 inches around and can either be mounted or placed flat on a table.

Hi, I still wanna talk about these. The real highlight is the taste. I've tried so many mocktails that taste like...they'd be better with alcohol. I have been on the hunt for years, looking for a drink that tastes sophisticated but also, you know, GOOD. I've tried every can from this variety pack, and I'm delighted by *every* single one. The mix of lion's mane, magnesium, L-theanine, and ashwagandha is dreamy. The melon cucumber, elderflower mint, peach ginger, and raspberry blossom flavors can't be beat. Drink up!

Promising review: "These are a wonderful alternative to an evening cocktail. The drinks are tasty. All of the flavors are subtle yet unique. The magnesium and L-Theanine aid in sleep, which is always a plus. 10/10! So good!" —Marisa Mannarini

The feed tray slides out, making it easy to refill and clean, and there's a divider so you can use two different types of feed at once to attract different varieties of birds! Some reviewers even decorated their birdhouses with little frills like moss, flowers, and twine, so you can give it as much flair as you like! 

Note: If you find that your pets are scaring the birds away, one reviewer recommends applying reflective adhesive so the birds can't see in, but your fur babes can see the full show. 

Promising review: "This feeder sticks really well on the window. It even holds the plump squirrels that sneak into it. 😅 It was super easy to apply and adjust. Our cats absolutely love the close-up action they get since we purchased reflective adhesive and put it on the inside of our window. Now the birds have no idea they’re even there, and the cats are in disbelief that they get to sit that close to the birds. Overall, a great purchase, my family loves it!" —SRowe

No, really, these are *super* fool-proof. Each set includes start-to-finish video instructions, an instruction sheet, two color-coded felting needles, felting wool, linen backing fabric, a wooden hoop, and a foam felting mat. As long as you have a pair of scissors and some glue, you'll be g2g! 

Promising review: "This was something I've wanted to try for a while, and this kit was the perfect introduction. It includes every tool you need to get started, and the video and pictures are helpful. I am thoroughly immersed in the needle felting hobby now, and I'm so glad I started with this beautiful kit! I would definitely buy this as a gift for someone who either wants to try needle felting or even for someone who is already into the hobby. You'll get some leftover wool out of it, and it's a very beautiful project." —Rach

This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. DO NOT put this in the water with you (for so many reasons), but it's totally okay if it gets a little water on it as long as it doesn't fall in. Whether on top of your shower or on a bathroom sink, it's gonna be bright enough to light up your life.

Hear one TikToker's thoughts on the shower lamp here.

Promising review: "I bought this for my bathroom because the one light is super bright and it's too much in the mornings. I still needed some light, so I looked into a lamp like this over some kind of night light or plug-in lamp. I bought this because the reviews were promising, and so far I'm really happy. I charged it when it arrived a week ago, and haven't needed to charge it again yet. I love the warm, but not yellow-y light it emits. The lamp also seems really sturdy, like if I knocked it off the counter, it would be fine. The dimming function is great, no flickering, and I'm really happy the lamp 'remembers' the brightness level it was last on. It says waterproof, and I haven't tested that, but the charging port plug seems to seal really well, so I'm not nervous to have it on the bathroom counter or right next to the shower. My one complaint is that the wood grain color appeared different on my computer than in real life, and it's a little more reddish in person. However, I like this lamp so much I've been moving it to my desk to use in the evenings, so I may just buy another one that matches my bathroom better and leave the wood colored one at my desk." —Syd Smith

Promising review: "Our puppy loves this! We used it to lure her into her crate and [make her] comfortable spending time in there. The licking is self-soothing, and it is great to have something cold for her sore mouth while she is teething. She hasn’t been biting or chewing on it, but having something cold has stopped her from chewing up other items! We are also in a humid climate where the average temperatures have been in the high 90s and low 100s, so having something cold to cool her off really helps. We purchased other similar items (like lick mats), but they have not worked nearly as well, and they don’t have a cover! The cover is key to being able to freeze this and keep it clean between uses." —LadyTodd

I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits, and I'm currently using them to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great! 

Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass; it seems like it’s some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" —Alysia 

Promising review: "I ADORE vampires, Halloween, and all things bat-related. I had to have this umbrella. The feel of this umbrella makes it worthwhile. The rubbery texture assures me it will keep me dry. That's not all. Hang the umbrella up, and it looks like a sleeping vampire! Too cute!" —Rae Rae

Promising review: "I am a candle snob, and I can say without a second thought that Capri Blue is my favorite candle of all time. I have one in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. I gift them often for housewarming (pun intended) gifts or just because. They're the perfect addition to a home, and they SMELL SO GOOD, Y'ALL. Absolutely recommend these candles to everyone." —Jennifer

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
