And sometimes, the only thing that’ll make the week better is the promise of a package in the mail.

I'm a seasoned Shopping Editor with more than 10 years of experience covering travel (my favorite), home decor, fashion, and pet products.

You showed up, answered the emails, sat through the meetings, and made it to the end of the week, which, to me, sounds like a pretty good reason to treat yourself. Whether you're eyeing a charming toast-shaped candle holder, an animal cracker pillow, or an unnecessary-but-irresistible thong bookmark, these picks are here to bring a little extra joy to your day.

Frame Mavens is a woman-owned small business based in Springfield, Ohio that makes photo frames.

Here's what BuzzFeed Home and Garden Editor Sally Elshorafa has to say about these: "I fell in love with these frames the very first time I saw them on Etsy, so I was really excited when I finally got the opportunity to order one. My toddler son's passport photo is extremely cute, so much so that I saved the extra print and decided to get a custom cut from Frame Mavens in the cornflower blue color. They were quick to respond to the custom cut request, and my order was made and shipped quickly. I added it to a gallery wall that's a little too full of gaudy (in a good way) gilded frames and minimalist black frames, and it really helped break it up and add some color."

Promising review: "Beautiful monochromatic frame! Perfect for a framed 4x6 postcard, which the owners graciously did a custom cut for." —Violet

Get it from Frame Mavens for $70 (available in nine colors).
