There’s no such thing as patience when you’ve got cabbage-shaped bowls coming in the mail.

I'm Amanda Davis (she/her), a Shopping & Products Editor at BuzzFeed who specializes in many topics, including beauty, fashion, home decor, and my personal favorite — small businesses.

Whether you've spent months searching for the perfect pair of jeans or are just in need of some serotonin via impulse purchases, Amazon has some *good* stuff I don't want you to miss out on. Check out everything from stunning Bloomhouse dinnerware sets to the coolest mesh socks I've ever seen and thank me later... Just try not to bumrush the delivery person when they finally arrive, okay?

BTW, these sets are so chic and affordable that a lot of friend groups get them to match for events like weddings, birthdays, and bachelorette parties!

Promising review: "It’s always a gamble getting pajamas online, especially when they’re supposed to be silky; sometimes you get that unyielding plastic-y feeling material. That’s not the case with these! They’re soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they’d be. I’m definitely going to order in more colors." —Amazon Customer

Price: $24.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors and patterns)

Promising review: "If you’re looking for a beautiful wineglass that’s heavier than the norm, this is for you. I love the weight and the look. I’m throwing out the thin and buying more of these!" —ladylucky08

Promising reviews: "Laneige definitely lives up to the hype! Saw this on a morning show and decided to try it based on hosts' reactions. Mask for night and gloss during the day has changed my lips in one day. I regularly have dry, flaky lips, and that is now gone. I highly recommend... Will last for a while since lips are such a small area and don't need reapplication that often. This is an honest review by a 55-year-old working mom." —Aundy68

"LOVE this stuff. It's nice when TikTok and YouTube viral reviews are actually true. It seems this is the only thing I reach for anymore when I want to coat my lips... I really don't even use lipstick anymore, maybe a little liner, but not much. I'm a mature woman (57) and want to look more natural and age gracefully. This is so moisturizing and just a hint of color is perfect." —Amazon Customer

Price: $19 (available in 11 scents and multipacks) 

Promising review: "Love this product! ...I use it frequently to make candied bacon, French toast, apple pies, barbecued spareribs, roast pork, etc. It’s superior to regular cinnamon and sugar mix, because it’s in powder form." —Sean M.

Price: $3.99+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "I’ve had the necklace for two months now, wear it every day to sleep and in the shower, and it still looks like new. No color changing, no tangling, and definitely worth the money. I paired it with two other necklaces, and it complements every outfit. Would buy again." —Dasia Johnson

Price: $12.99 (available in two lengths and in A–Z)

Promising review: "I've worn this SO much that I felt I should leave a review. The color is great, the quality is great ([isn't] see-through, it washes nicely without wrinkles), the length is perfect, and the cinched waist is perfect... I probably should get a second color of this! It works for work and casual wear." —Arytenoid

Price: $24.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 38 colors/patterns)

Promising review: "I love these bulbs. They make any room all warm and cozy. Also a fantastic night-light for the little ones. :) Get you some!" —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "Omg, I love these martini glasses!! Really elevates your bar cart and adds a fun and modern feel!! The price is so good, and the quality is amazing." —Elizabeth

"Was thrilled with the quality of these glasses given the price point. They look great and seem sturdy. They have a nice weight to them as well – I would recommend!" —Natalie Alshouse

Promising review: "I’m so happy with this long-sleeved mesh shirt! It’s perfect for layering and adds a stylish touch to any outfit. The size fits true to size and [isn't] too tight. The quality is great—lightweight yet durable, and it’s comfortable to wear all day. I love how breathable and versatile it is, making it ideal for any season. Overall, it’s a great addition to my wardrobe!" —Shannon Hudge

Price: $8.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in 10 colors/styles)

Promising reviews: "I love this product! I purchased to fashion into a top for various occasions. The scarf is higher quality than I anticipated. Fabric feels the same in thickness as an Hermès...Will definitely be purchasing in different patterns!" —ACP1997

"I actually get compliments on this all the time. I just bought it as a cheap little way to accent my black purse and people are shocked when I say it's just a $7 scarf off Amazon. The print looks great, and it's really soft!" —Katie Payne

Price: $6.99 (available in 20+ patterns/colors)

Promising review: "Set is of great quality. Packaged well and looks and feels high-end. The black and wood matches my aesthetic beautifully!" —Amazon Customer

This was an impulse purchase of my own doing, and it was so worth it! I got the medium size for myself, and it's tall, durable, and fills up an empty corner very, very nicely. The plant holder is really well made and holds my humongous Birds of Paradise without a budge, so it's definitely worth the price. 

Kouboo is a family-owned small biz that produces unique home decor items, all made from natural materials sourced around the world.

Promising review: "I absolutely ADORE this plant stand! It is unbelievably gorgeous, the perfect size, wonderfully sturdy and stable (level feet to the floor) and is solidly built. Color is true to advertised photos. Arrived in excellent condition (was very securely packaged). While I found it a bit pricey, it absolutely delivers in style, function, and quality. Desperately wanting a second one!!! 🤞🏼" —N.M.

Price: $74.50+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "So pretty!... This little planter came with a plastic insert to help with drainage, and all the little mirrors were firmly attached, and it's beautiful! Also came with a choice of a metal chain or macrame yarn hanger." —Danielle

Price: $25.97+ (available in three sizes and three colors)

Promising review: "Exceeds expectations! I’ve been searching for nightstand lamps for months! I fell in love when I saw them, fell in more love when I got them!! Beautiful!!!!!" —Amazon Customer

"We have a mid-century living [room], but wanted a touch of a Nordic / Japanese style. This is perfection. It’s a great value, offers good brightness and lighting, and is compact yet the accordion-style shade offers just enough presence and personality. The gold looks great too!" —Jeb

Price: $40.99 (available in copper and black finishes)

One reviewer said, "Moo-ve over sweater competition!" and I felt it was an obligation to share that with the world.

Promising review: "Basically perfect. The sweater's design is beautiful, and the materials are very soft and thick, definitely has some weight to it folded up, and it makes it feel very nice and high quality. It can get fuzzy but, fortunately, doesn’t fall off and get everywhere, so it looks great. Keeps you pretty warm and [very] comfortable, and it’s a bit oversized, which is great!" —Erik

Price: $45.99 (available in men's sizes S–XL and in six styles)

Psst, these are pillow covers. You can grab a set of pillow inserts for $26.99.

Promising review: "These are gorgeous, soft, and well made. I chose the orange and teal combination. Perfect! No loose strings at all, which is rare in itself when you order textiles. I want to get some more. Just luscious!... They are a different color on the other side, which adds more interesting contrast. I definitely recommend these. They can work in a casual or more formal setting. The colors are unique as well. I suggest getting inserts the same size if you want a soft pillow, and size up the insert if you want a firmer, puffier look." —A. Jerry

Price: $32.50 for a set of four standard 18x18 covers (also available in seven other sizes and eight other color combos)

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite pairs of jeans. I have been looking for something in this fit for some time now. I am usually a 32, and quite curvy, which causes waist gaps in most jeans. So I ordered the 32 and 33. They both fit quite well. I went with the 33 because it’s longer and more roomy around my hips, and gives me the baggy fit I wanted. The cinch waist allowed me to tighten the waist. It really is perfect, and I just ordered this in another color." —Peace 

Price: $48.99+ (available in women's sizes 24–34 and eight colors) 

This set includes four of each of the following: 10.3-inch dinner plates, 8.3-inch salad/starter plates, 8.6-inch all-purpose meal/pasta bowls, and 6.4-inch everyday bowls.

Promising review: "Absolutely stunning! I bought this dishware set for my mom; however, once I saw them, I knew I needed a set for myself! The orange rust-colored glaze is beautiful! The dishes are also quite heavy, so they feel very luxurious especially for the price. The size of the dishes is perfect as well. I love that you get four different sizes of bowls/plates, so it’s perfect for every occasion. Just from the few times we’ve used the dish set so far, it really has held up well. There are still no visual blemishes from what we can tell. Overall, a great purchase!!!!" —Danny_bear

Price: $99.99 for a 16-piece set (available in 12 colors and glossy or matte finishes)

Promising review: "I never write reviews on Amazon but had to for this set. It’s probably the best set/clothing item I’ve bought from Amazon. It is perfect... It is the perfect travel fit. Comfy but still looks put together... Will definitely be ordering other colors. Buy this for sure!" —Stephanie Saenz

Price: $39.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in nine colors)

Promising reviews: "Stunning! This vase is absolutely phenomenal! I received many compliments! It definitely enhances any bouquet of flowers!" —Michelle Sheppard

"I love love love this vase. It’s thick and of quality, it's great! I bought two because I love it so much!" —SuzyB

Price: $24.99 (available in nine styles/colors)

Promising review: "Perfect travel tank! I ordered these tanks for my trip to Europe to have a cute and functional top to wear with tennis skirts. I love the neckline and how lightweight they are!" —Abby 

Price: $22.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 21 colors)

Promising reviews: "These are so unique from the standard oil storage containers. They also hold a good amount of liquid and come with lots of labels, funnel, and topper. They look so sleek and sturdy and fit the aesthetic! I love them." —Mikaela O

"I have been waiting for-ev-er for these to come back in stock. As soon as they arrived, I unpacked them and immediately ordered two more! They are space-saving and perfect for those random oils that you keep but only need a couple of times a year. Now they won't take up as much space, AND they're cute 😊" — Jordan Birch

Price: $34.99+ (available in three colors and in sets of two or four)

Promising review: "All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It’s heavy and not cheap-looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it’s done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror, but the packaging was great, and it arrived in one piece. Don’t hesitate buying this gem; you need it!" —Celeste C

Price: $82.99+ (available in 10 sizes and five colors)

These flats look very similar to a certain Alaïa pair that would normally cost an arm and a leg, just fyi.  👀 

Promising review: "These flats are amazing! The mesh material is soft and breathable, and the little patent leather details with the strap make them look so chic. I wore them nonstop in Italy and they were honestly a lifesaver on the cobblestone streets — comfy, supportive, and still stylish enough for all my outfits. They go with everything, from jeans and a tee to a cute dress, and the fishnet look makes them feel unique without trying too hard. Plus, the customer service was super helpful and friendly. Definitely one of my best shoes." —Shiva

Price: $43.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–11 and nine colors/styles)

Promising review: "I have never left an Amazon product review before. But I am so happy with these bowls that I am doing this now. I have a small fortune worth of the 'real thing' of cabbage plates that I have collected over the years, but recently broke a couple of bowls. I couldn't stomach paying around $200 for a set of four, so I decided to give these a try and am so happy! The quality is great, and the size of the bowl is a little larger than I expected — more than large enough for a cereal bowl." —Amy

Price: $42.99+ (available in two colors and sold individually)

Promising review: "Amazing hair clip! I have short hair; it's holding very well, and I haven't had to adjust it since putting it in. It's a pretty good size clip...Good value for the price!" —Shae Blevins

Wonderskin is a small business that specializes in makeup and skincare products. 

Promising reviews: "I kept seeing Wonder Blading Lip videos on my TikTok. Went to Sephora and couldn’t believe they didn’t have it. Wound up buying it on Amazon and loving it!" —PM

"I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute, and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy

Promising review: "Beautiful. Ordered these for our dining room table and they were perfect! Fit in our candle holders, and the color was great. Love them and would purchase again." —Amazon Customer

Price: $8.99+ for a pack of four (available in seven colors)

Promising review: "I’m pretty unaware about things…like when I have a cup in my arms, and I bend over to pick things up. The Stanley brand isn’t a good fit for me because my drink will end up everywhere. Saw a TikTok of [someone] turning this cup upside down with minimal spillage. Tried it at home, and sure enough, 40 oz of water in this cup turned completely upside down will result in a very small trickle out of the straw thanks to the rubber seal that holds the straw in place. Also:-Keeps drinks ice cold. Took her to Vegas in 117-degree heat, and she kept my water icy!-Dishwasher Safe-Cute! Love the light leopard print.-Fits in your normal cup holders-PRICE." —Nicole

Price: $29.99 (available in two sizes and 42 colors)

JW Pei is an Asian-, family-owned brand with minimalist purses that are made with sustainable vegan materials.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sandals! The block heel gives the perfect amount of height without being too high, and the mule style makes them easy to slip on and off. The white color is crisp and clean, and they look great with so many different outfits. Plus, they're really comfortable — I can wear them all day without any pain or discomfort. Overall, I highly recommend these sandals to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable pair of shoes! 🤍" —Mo

Price: $89 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and 11 colors)

Promising review: "As a creative, I love having interesting pieces around the house and vintage pieces and this is a perfect combination of that. I received SO many compliments and these compliments would then lead to dialogue about artists and history and the importance of art. I have it directly underneath my TV, on a stand, next to some plants and it looks great. Goes great with any color scheme, too!" —samihwow1

Price: $19.99+ (available in three finishes)

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this bag! The size is perfect to carry stuff for my kids and me. The stitching and print is perfect for the summer 😍." —Chelsea | Amazon Finds

"I love this bag, it's roomy, has a bunch of pockets, and is easy to sling over your shoulder. I'm definitely someone who likes to have all my necessities with me, and this bag gets the job done!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $29.99 (available in seven patterns)

Alleoop is a woman-owned small biz that takes "beauty efficiency" to a new level. Most of their products are compact and have several functions!

Promising reviews: "This is a great brush for travel. It cuts down on the amount of brushes you might need to bring on a trip. You could probably get along with only this brush. It is very versatile. I bought the one with the sponge. Looks great,...is very useful, and lightens the beauty bag load." —KMC

"I am so glad I impulse-bought this brush! It’s an all-in-one, the blender and brush are great and the inner tools work well too. I think I cut my makeup time down just having all the tools in one and not searching for brushes." —Kimberly J. Donnelly

Price: $23.99 (available in two styles)  

BTW, it features a lace-up back *and* a sde zipper!

Promising reviews: "Love this corset.... Quality is fantastic, and I got endless compliments both in person and on social, so it truly translates well out of the bag. I buy a lot of clothes on Amazon, and this has got to be a top 5 favorite." —Gwen Begley

Price: $29.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–18 and in 18 colors and patterns)

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I’ve received so many compliments already. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to add a chic accessory to their collection!" —Arsalan sheikh

Price: $14.99 (available in five styles and various two-packs)

Promising review: "I love coffee, it's how I start my morning every day; using this pour-over set is perfect! It's beautiful, easy to use, and easy to clean. I feel like I have my own little coffee shop; it's a perfect gift for a coffee lover." —Emily Moore

Price: $33.99 (available in bronze and black)

Price: $12.99+ for a four-pack (available in various colors/packs)

HINT: Cover the hanging chain with faux vines like this reviewer did!

BTW, this chair can hold up to 330 pounds. Hardware included.

Promising review: "I wanted a swing that was large enough to work from, as I work remotely and sit cross-legged out of habit. While shopping, it looked like most of these could hardly hold a child or were photoshopped to appear larger. The only one I could find to meet my needs was on Etsy for $320+, so I held off and somehow found this. It arrived as described, with a quality cushion, sturdy hardware, instructions, and with decent length chains...My husband hung it super easily, and I have all confidence that it won't come crashing down, even when I sit in it with my two children. Solid chair. 100% would buy again." —Erin M. 

Price: $64.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors)

Promising reviews: "Works great. I love these...I can use them to mark lines or just as a bookmark." —Amazon Customer

"Much, much bigger than I expected!... They will be cute and the clip will easily and conveniently mark your page. They are good quality clips, and the charms are nice...Great value, most are cute, very functional." —Kay

Price: $5.99+ (available in nine styles)

Promising reviews: "This watch looks so expensive, everyone is shocked that I got it on Amazon. Fits my wrist as well, which is 8 inches." —christina cattarini

"Absolutely love this watch. I got this watch to see if I like the design on my wrist before I committed to purchasing the Cartier Baignoire watch, and I must say I am literally obsessed, I absolutely LOVE this style watch... It’s made very well, and the gold tone is PERFECT. It’s a beautiful, warm-toned gold; it’s not too light or too dark. The band is a beautiful, textured dark chocolate color. Simply beautiful." —Ashley Breland

Promising review: "I would recommend this dress to every person I know. The material was super soft and stretchy. It can be worn for a formal or casual wedding. It wasn’t see-through at all and had two layers of thickness. The quality of this dress was great. Super functional for exactly what I needed." —Sydney Cordeiro

Price: $40.49+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 17 colors)

Promising review: "This is probably the fourth piece of Pavoi jewelry I’ve purchased now, and it will definitely not be the last. I continue to be extremely happy with their products. These are such a great size; the width of the hoop is really nice and substantial. Overall the quality is great, they honestly look like they are gold rather than gold plated, and have a nice weight to them (they don’t feel flimsy). They also are very elegant looking, and can definitely be worn for more dressy occasions as well as casually. It’s so pleasantly surprising each time to see the quality is so great, given the price point is so affordable. These are fun and a perfect addition to my jewelry collection just in time for summer!"  —Leslie R.

Price: $13.95+ (available in four sizes and in six metal types)

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because I knew my boyfriend would laugh and appreciate the heck out of it...My boyfriend plays video games and has a fair share of Cowboy Bebop figurines, so when I saw it, I knew he'd get a kick out of it. 11/10 would buy it again just for another chance to see his reaction. And honestly, it looks great [and] transformed a boring white fridge we paid no mind to to a clever and cute conversation piece that ~also~ serves a function." —Olivia

These molds come with a lid that has a built-in funnel! That means zero mess when making your ice art. 

Promising review: "Used this ice cube tray to make decorative cubes for cocktails. Works great, cubes come out well, and is easy to both fill and get the cubes out." —Kristen Szymanski

Snug Life is a Nevada-based small business that designs and handcrafts macrame home decor! Everything from placemats, shower curtains, hanging shelves, and more.

Promising review: "I love this produce basket! It’s natural, sturdy, well-made, and gives my kitchen a little more character. Fits lots of large onions and tomatoes on the bottom tier, a couple of bags of small potatoes in the second one, and eventually a little potted vine will go in the top. Use a toggle bolt to hang. The baskets are stretchy, too, due to the weave, so you can pack them full!" —Kelly Pate White

Promising reviews: "This little keyboard is awesome! Just like typing on a retro typewriter. I love the feel of the keys. Super easy to pair up with my phone and iPad. Highly recommend this!" —Michele Sanises

"Definitely worth the purchase. My favorite quality is that it holds my phone up, too!! The keys stick up higher than a normal keyboard, and it took some getting used to, but I love it. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it and it makes that satisfying clicky sound when you use it. it’s super easy to connect and it is compatible with a Mac, which can be a pain if you know anything about Macs lol. buy it!" —Abby Victoria
