Including some chili pepper earrings for your next Triple Dipper night.

I'm a Shopping Editor who uses my passion for hitting "add to cart" (and my 8+ years in media) to curate the best products on the web — I'm particularly passionate about finding the best beauty products, which probably stems from my days of working at Lush Cosmetics, where I learned about effective skincare ingredients while getting covered in bath bomb dust every day.

Hey, you. Yeah, you! I've heard you've been killing it all summer long, so I think you deserve a lil' treat from the best gift-giver ever — yourself! Whether the heat is bumming you out or you're feeling sad that we only have a few weeks left of summer weather, now's the perfect time to lift your spirits with something fun, useful, adorable, or all of the above. I'll let you decide what your lil' treat should be, but allow me to suggest a pack of delicious Dunkin' Refreshers, some Lego sunflowers to brighten up your desk, or maybe even a retro-chic CD player if you're feeling a bit nostalgic.

Promising review: "Love the Summer Fridays minis — they’re perfect to throw in your bag for on the go!!! The colors are amazing, and they smell so good." —Meghan

Promising review: "Sparkling and beautiful. I bought these to hang in my kitchen window, and they are perfect. The sun hits the crystals, and it creates a beautiful shine and radiance. I've received lots of compliments. Nice buy!" —Alicia Burciaga

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six colors/styles).

Promising reviews: "Amazing bathing suit! I love that the straps can be tied to whichever length you need it to based on your body. The bottoms fit great, and can keep things secured!" —A.D

"Absolutely love this swimsuit! It fit perfectly and was comfortable to wear all day at the beach or pool. The colors were bright and vibrant." —Karrie J.

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and 25 colors).

Note: These sets were originally designed for children, and the packaging reflects that they are toys for younger ages. Reviewers noted that this made it a bit awkward to give as a gift to adults, so if you give this to an adult (other than yourself), it might be best to re-home it in a new gift box.

Promising review: "I love my new desk pet! My little tortoises keep me company through my work-from-home day. Their setup looks like what a real tort should have. I showed the local tortoise rescue, and they thought this had potential for kids who want their own tort but aren't ready yet. So cute!" —Gwyn

Get it from Uncommon Goods for $17+ (available in five animal styles) and Amazon for $16.99+ (available in cat, rabbit, dog, and tortoise).

Promising review: "I'm obsessed!!! I keep this in my teacher desk so that I can easily use it whenever I stop for coffee in the morning on my way to school. It's a super cute pattern for an English teacher. I can hold my iced coffee without making my hands cold. The best part is that I don't have a puddle of condensation on my desk as the coffee melts." —Former Lifeguard, sunglasses expert

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five sizes and various other prints).

Promising review: "It is quality and fits the packets perfectly, so I can organize them instead of having them all in one drawer. Saves so much time in searching for my Diablo sauce." —Ken

Promising review: "This is the most perfect periwinkle nail polish I get so many compliments on this!!! I got a North Face hoodie that pairs with it perfectly, and periwinkle is like the new color for spring-summer 2026. I'm in love with this color and the nail polish is a great quality." —Sheena B.

Just mix one stick with 16.9 ounces of water. See it in action on TikTok here.

Promising review: "Love Dunkin but have never tried their refreshers. These are now one of my top favorite drink enhancers. These packets are super affordable! They are also extremely tasty and don’t leave the aftertaste some water enhancers or powders do. They come in a variety of flavors, and all are equally yummy! It’s also 'refreshing' that these don’t cost an arm and a leg. I plan to order more today. I love that these will help you meet your daily water intake goals easily!" —Mississippi Mama!

Get a 40-count variety pack from Amazon for $12.98.

Get it from Amazon for $7.80 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "Adorable, and way more useful than you'd think. I've been using it for water; it fits in my purse or pant pocket perfectly, and it holds more than you think. I bought a second one for my daughter, and it was great at Disney the other day, not too heavy or cumbersome. It fit perfectly in the side outer pocket of her Loungefly mini backpack and kept her drink cold, and she just refilled it as needed." —erinm51 

Get it from Amazon for $15.96+ (available in several styles).

To play, pass out all of the cards to players and have everyone keep their pile facedown. Everyone takes turns putting a card in the middle while saying "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza" in that order. If the picture on the card that's placed down matches the word that's been said, everyone races to slap the center pile of cards, and whoever slaps the pile last has to add the center pile to their personal pile. Oh! And there's also "narwhal," where everyone makes a unicorn horn with their hands clapped together above their heads; "gorilla," where everyone bangs on their chest like a gorilla; and "groundhog," where everyone has to knock on the table. Whoever does the motion last picks up the center pile. Whoever runs out of cards first wins! You can play with three to eight players, and the *recommended* age is 8+.

Promising review: "I always think about games to play when at the pool — especially when there are 10-minute swim breaks and everyone is out of the pool — this is the perfect game! First of all, our family loves Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza. It's a game that's really easy to learn and is an energetic card game (perfect for kids!). To be able to bring this game around the water is awesome. I love how the cards are heavier, so they don't blow away as easily, too. The card ring makes them really easy to just toss in a bag, and I feel like it's indestructible. Honestly, we'll probably play this version of the game even inside just because of how indestructible it is (no one accidentally stepping on a card/ creasing it, etc.).

Dolphin Hat Games is a small biz that specializes in family-friendly card games.

Promising review: "Works great. Small enough to put in a purse and very cute too. Absorption is awesome." —K. Mac

Promising review: "I have left the house on numerous occasions and needed a hair tie and could never find one. I could dig through my purse, diaper bags, and car, and there was never a hair tie lying around. I have had to refill this hair-tie holder on about five occasions because of how many times I've taken hair ties off for myself and the friends who need one. Great invention." —Samantha

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three colors). 

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: "I’ve ordered this three times, one for me at first, and the rest as gifts. It’s such a cute and amazing little nostalgic camera to have around. Whenever you take it out to use, SOMEONE always asks what it is/where from. Lots of compliments. Even got my brother and his girlfriend to buy them, lmao, plus as a blind box, it’s fun to find out which one you get! I would recommend this to anyone! Especially those who grew up on Kodak disposables. Probably will buy another at some point." —Jennifer Shirghiro

Get it from Amazon (from Kodak-licensed seller RT-PRO) for $34.99.

Promising review: "This is exactly the type of water-gel moisturizer I had been searching for. If you’re still mourning the original Laneige Water Bank formula, consider this your replacement. It’s lightweight, deeply hydrating, and delivers that refreshing 'water-bomb' feel without feeling heavy or greasy. My skin feels moisturized, plump, and comfortable all day. I’ll definitely be repurchasing." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Super high-quality. The clamp is strong, and it has a bit of weight to it to keep the pages down. The furthest it can open up is about an inch. There is a lot of detail, feels very high-quality." —Mercedes

Promising review: "TikTok paper clamp. Omg so cute I loveee it, worth the wait and purchase." —Laura K

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "It smells amazing! The Lisa Frank nostalgia brings my millennial heart alive. It's a weird goop that makes me feel childlike. Definitely buy it!!" —Mindy M.

Just FYI, all the washes are nonstretch, but some are more of a standard denim while others are a thinner denim noted as "lightweight."

Promising review: "Get these ASAP. I bought the cream pair, fell in love with them, and bought two more colors! They are worth the money. Quality is great, I have a very small butt, and the cinch waist gives it shape. I’m 35 and over the short shorts. These are long enough but not obnoxiously long. They’re soft, sturdy, and don’t have a ton of stretch, but I like it that way." —Allie

Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in women's sizes 24–34 and eight washes).

Promising review: "WHERE has this been all my life?! I have AT LEAST 15 misters of Swiss Alp water, rose, aloe, serum, and toner mists, BUT this is unlike ANY of them! This is not watery and does look like a pretty solid gel in the bottle, but sprays on quite fine, then provides a skin barrier, and you do glow for a few hours. You look hydrated, and I thought I would be able to 'feel' it on like a mask, but even when you touch it, it does not have a film, nor does it flake or roll off. Think of it as a setting spray with a sheen to it — not totally noticeable and fake looking though — GLOW all day." —LeeLoo

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two formulas).

Promising review: "Literally perfect! So awesome. Easy to connect to Bluetooth, haven't even had to charge it yet, the battery life is amazing. Already [withstood] a few drops without a scratch, so it's VERY durable (I'm confident it won't break, even if I tried to), nice and loud with great sound quality." —Aubrea

Promising reviews: "TikTok got me. I kept seeing this skirt everywhere so I eventually just sucked it up and I’m so happy I did. It’s my favorite skirt now, comfy, super cute, and I get compliments every time I wear it." —Andrea

"Love this skirt! I will be getting more. The lining is all the way to the bottom of the skirt, which I love because you can’t see through it. Waistband is very comfortable for wearing the skirt high under your bust or low around the hips." —Alissa K.

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 47 colors).

Psst — these also make great ornaments during the holidays!

Just a heads-up that menthol can be drying, so you may want to spot-test if you have dry or sensitive skin.

Promising review: "​I'm officially obsessed with this body wash! It delivers a rich, creamy lather that cleanses deeply while keeping my skin's natural moisture intact. Unlike heavy formulas, it leaves behind a silky, breathable barrier that feels lightweight and fresh — never greasy. The 'Cool Mood' fragrance is a total game-changer; it’s crisp, invigorating, and perfectly matches the name. Between the convenient pump bottle and the incredible value, this is now a permanent staple in my shower." —Superwmn

Promising review: "I love these sandals. I have four colors. They are comfortable, easy on and off, and go with so many types of outfits." —Kristi S.

Read more about how an Epsom salt soak or bath can help with muscle pain, soreness, and mental stress at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I love a good Epsom soak and have at least three varieties in my cabinet. I used it specifically as a foot soak rather than a bath. The scent did not disappoint and I didn't notice any sacrifice in quality, or any irritation, with the added scent. It was a nice way to mix things up!" —Sara Q.

Promising review: "These things are so cool. The magnetic snap is pretty strong, and they don't hurt when you get hit. They break apart easily when thrown, but unless you squeeze it, then it won't burst open in your hands. They are well-made, and the colors are bright. I always make sure to leave them open for a little bit to dry before putting them back in the carrying case, so they don't get a moldy smell after. So far, I haven't had any issues. Kids are obsessed with them, and I love that I am not spending so much time and money on those ones that auto tie from a faucet and make a mess all over the yard." —Jakki

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 for a pack of 12 (also available in smaller and larger packs).

Promising review: "I am shocked by how pretty it is and how good it smells. Also, great price and great quality. It’s not too greasy, just really nicely moisturizing :)." —Faith Bremmer 

Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE THESE! They look beautiful as they light up at night. A great accent to your yard. For the price, I couldn’t pass it up. Now I wish I would’ve gotten a bigger quantity of them. But you never know how things will look vs pictures. These are it!! I put them along our walkway and by some shrubs, and we have [received] many compliments. They work well into the night. A definite good price for what you get." —R

While this is waterproof for easy cleaning, the brand does not recommend soaking the entire unit or placing it in the dishwasher (and also recommends using the included silicone cover for the charging port when washing). 

Check out a TikTok of the heated ice cream scoop in action. 

Promising review: "I bought this heated ice cream scoop on a whim, and wow, it actually works amazingly! The warming feature heats up fast and glides through even rock-hard ice cream with zero effort. No more bending spoons or waiting for the carton to soften. The LED display is a nice touch because I can see when it’s ready, and being rechargeable makes it super convenient, no batteries needed. It’s especially great for kids and seniors since it takes almost no strength to use." —Dikshya

Promising review: "These are great, they don’t leak, and they’re glass. Super easy to clean and to carry around with you — not too heavy. Good deal, and it doesn’t have that weird taste you eventually get from the other cups with lids. Easy to put together and definitely worth it." —Jailene M.

Get a set of two from Amazon for $29.99+ (available with or without a handle).

Promising review: "This slow-rising "butter" squishy is really lovely. The texture is very soft and realistic, and it feels satisfying to squeeze. It rises slowly, a little slower than I expected, but that actually makes it more fun to play with... The squishy holds up well even after many squeezes, and I think the value for money is very good — I feel like I got a high-quality squishy at a reasonable price. Overall, it’s a fun, stress-relieving little squishy that I would recommend to anyone looking for something soft, durable, and enjoyable." —Sam
