You’re not going to be able to resist the call from the softest blanket ever, but don’t worry, I can’t either.

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Reviewers also swear by these for crafts with fine detail work, like painting and embroidery. 

Promising review: "I had seen this product from someone I follow on TikTok and they have a great review on it. I absolutely love it!! It’s great because it hangs around your neck and it’s lightweight. It has three different light settings on it so you can choose what is best for your eyes. And it also has a 30-minute timer you can set in case you fall asleep, so it will go off and you don't have to worry about it staying on the whole time. I highly recommend it!!" —Tabatha C. 

Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in two versions and five colors).

Ok, I don't think I have ever written a product review this fast in my life. I think I've had this for less than a week, and I have spent copious hours on my couch, bundled up under this thing. I genuinely cannot describe how soft this is. It's also *gigantic*, so it kind of has a natural weighted-blanket quality. The only thing I dislike is that I got this at the start of the summer and not in the winter, because this would be elite while sitting on my couch watching snow fall.

Promising review: "This is the softest, most luxurious throw I’ve ever seen. It’s super soft, heavy, and warm…amazing! I’m usually pretty frugal, but this is well worth every penny!" —Susan W.

Get it from Cozy Earth for $228+ (available in two sizes, five colors, and three other versions).

It has built-in measurements and conversion tables so you don't have to stop what you're doing to look anything up. And it comes with some recipes to help get you started!

Promising review: "Absolutely love this silicone baking mat! The quality is excellent — super thick, nonstick, and easy to clean. The included quick recipes are a great bonus, making baking so much fun and mess-free. Perfect for cookies, macarons, bread, and pizza. Highly recommend for both beginners and pros!" —tonya dinkins 

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "I didn't know what to expect from this super adorable anxiety bookshelf, but it delivered! I shake it up when I feel anxiety, even frustration, and I sort all the little books back onto the shelves anyway I want, and it is sooo satisfying! The bookshelf is super cute and well-built. It is sturdy and beautiful. The tiny books are detailed, and their covers are amazing. They aren't actual books, but they really look like they are. This is the most gratifying gift I have ever purchased for myself. Beyond satisfied!" —Elda M. Ferguson

Woobles is a small business that specializes in crochet kits. 

Promising review: "Excellent gift for beginners looking to explore crochet or knitting. The materials were of high quality, and everything was explained very clearly. End product looked great too." —Nick

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven styles, a multi-pack, and also as Snoopy). 

I've been using this comforter for a few weeks now and love it! It is SO soft, and the cooling feature is shockingly real. I truly don't understand how a thick comforter can feel cool, but boy, does it. This is not one of those over-puffy, hotel-like comforters, so if that's what you are looking for, this wouldn't be it. But if you want something cooling and super comfy, you are in the right spot!

Promising review: "This blanket feels like the comfiest sweatshirt you own that you never want to take off! It's incredibly soft. And for someone who runs hot while they sleep, I couldn't appreciate the cooling feature more. So glad we have this beautiful comforter!" —Kelsey Lage

Get it from Harbor House $159.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "I get so many compliments on this guy. Easy to assemble, very sturdy, and super cute. I was surprised at the quality for the price!" —Alexis K. Wisniewski

Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in nine versions). 

Promising review: "My family has traveled to many of these national parks, so I was super excited to work the puzzle; however, when I finished it, I KNEW I wanted to glue and frame it. I love working puzzles, but had never framed one before. I put it in my sitting room, which also has a wall gallery of family pictures from our cross-country trips!" —heather smith

Kusini is a small business that specializes in kitchen products. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love fondue, and this made at-home fondue easy and mess-free! Warms up quickly and holds the perfect amount of fondue plus dippers." —Ruby Pagel 

Promising review: "The bubbliest of baths; the scents all smell amazing, but not overpowering. The bubbles are fine and plentiful, and gentle on the skin. I have purchased many times and will continue to purchase." —Sydney Carton 

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five scents).

And this has six suction cups to keep it in place!

Promising review: "This pillow is so nice. It’s so comfortable. It’s soft. It’s easy to clean. Just hang it up for easy drying, and it suctions to the back of the bathtub very well. Works beautifully for luxurious baths." —DeRhonda Brannum

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I struggled to find a good bath stand, until I gave this one a try! It is the perfect height for my bathtub, and it's also adjustable. So if you have a bathtub that sits higher or even lower, adjusting the height is very easy. The assembly was very straightforward. I use this stand every single night." —Kayleigh Lauhoff 

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in three styles). 

Promising review: "The record player came today, and I've been playing my albums, and a few more I recently bought at a thrift shop. I love this record player! The sound quality and volume are perfect for listening in my living room or wherever I move it, since it's portable. I also like that I can connect external speakers to it if I want it louder, but I doubt I'll need to. I haven't tried the Bluetooth option yet. I'm enjoying the album player. That's really why I bought it. I'm delighted with it! And it's so pretty to look at, too. The black leather and metal exterior is sharp-looking. I can't wait to purchase more albums!" —Margarita T

Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "I had contemplated buying one of the expensive Lovesacs but decided to roll the dice and try a less expensive option. Found this product, read the reviews, purchased it, and hoped for the best. OMG! It’s HUGE (bigger than I imagined in my head) and SO comfortable and supportive. You don’t sink down to the floor like in a traditional beanbag, as this doesn’t have 'beans' inside. The setup was so easy. Going to order another one for my adult son, who just got his first apartment. What a great product and a BIG money saver." —Brittany W.

Get it from Amazon for $189.14+ (available in 20 styles).

Promising review: "The illustrations are very well done. Definitely have to say you need a logical mind to figure out these puzzles. You get a deep feeling of success when you figure out 'who dunnit.'" —Renee Goff

Get it from Amazon for $10.71 (also available for the Kindle).

Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and there are little pockets for things like your cell phone or the remote. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield 

Get it from Amazon for $40.20+ (available in two sizes and two colors). 

Good news! These are vegan and gelatin-free. 

Promising review: "Basically finished the whole bag in less than 48 hours. I’ve been wanting to try these ever since I saw them on TikTok, but didn’t want to order them through the TikTok shop. The candy skulls were just as good as I imagined they’d be. The blue/pink skulls were my favorite. 10/10. I didn’t LOVE all of it, but none were bad by any means. Gummies are very fresh! Would definitely recommend/order again!" —Mary Claire

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has one and says, "I LOVE this thing. It allows you to literally wrap yourself in a blanket, but still be able to use your hands, without your poor arm suffering in the cold breeze. I wear this while working from home, watching Netflix, and while taking naps. It's so comfy that there have been times I don't want to take it off when I have to run to the store — the only reason I do is because I don't want it to get dirty. I can't imagine one person who wouldn't be happy to have this wonderful bundle of coziness."

Promising review: "My husband is terribly hard to buy for, so most gifts end up returned or exchanged. Because he is always cold due to health issues, I thought this Comfy might be just the thing to make him — well, more comfy! I read the reviews, and with high hopes, I bought one for him. It arrived in the mail the next day, and he was pretty skeptical as we opened the box. I insisted that he try it on for at least a little while, and it turns out he couldn't be happier with it! He tells me he hasn't been so warm and cozy for years now. This is a double bonus for me — not only is he more comfortable, but it is the first gift in a long time that isn't being shipped back! The Comfy is super soft, just the right length to not tangle around his legs, and with the front pocket and hood, it keeps him warm no matter how cold he was when he first put it on. This is a terrific product for yourself or someone you love!" —Dee Heinrich

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 24 styles, including pullover, full-zip, and quarter-zip options).

It features a built-in timer that heats your towels for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes before automatically shutting off.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this! My husband and I use it every day to have fresh hot towels when getting out of the shower. We also use it on blankets before bed if it’s really cold. 100% recommend getting this!!!" —Stephanie

Promising review: "So much fun! This was the first time my spouse and I played this type of game, but won't be the last! It was very challenging and we did have to get hints since we were noobs. It took us about four hours over two nights, but it was so enjoyable we didn't even notice the time flying by. Everything included felt top notch and not cheap in the slightest. We will definitely be buying more Unsolved Case File products!" —DaWood

These can help with styes and relieve pink eye symptoms. Read more about styes and warm compresses at NYU Langone. Read more about pink eye and warm compresses at Mayo Clinic.

Promising review: "I just started using these, and so far I’m sleeping better when I do. They feel incredibly comforting, almost like a spa treatment at home, right in your own bed. While I’m not 100% sure how noticeable the changes are yet, I truly feel like they’re making a difference. I don’t wake up with those deep, dark circles weighing down my eyes the next day, and my under-eyes feel more rested and refreshed." —Courtney Swan

Get a set of 16 from Amazon for $17.99 (also available in a pack of 30). 

This kit includes a bag of natural soy wax (in flake form), pre-waxed and tabbed wicks, and wick-centering devices.

Promising review: "I am amazed at how easy it is to make candles! I made small mosquito-repellent candles for my wedding. I added a colored dye and scent after melting the wax. It was super easy and quick to make. The hardest thing for me was to wait for it to cool down and solidify. I even had my kids help. They thought it was fun to mix colors to create their own candles. This wax melts nicely and doesn't really have an odor by itself." —Amanda

According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.

The diffuser can also be used as a color-changing night-light, and it has programmable on/off cycles and an auto shut-off when the water runs out.

Promising review: "This diffuser is very quiet, and it diffuses very well. If you add essential oils to it, it also diffuses the scent very well. Not only is it easy to use, but it’s also cool and fun that you can put it in a light mode. You can set the light to a single color, or leave it on the setting that rotates through the colors. You should definitely buy this if you don’t want to spend a fortune on a diffuser." —Lexi

Get the diffuser from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).

The six scents included are: orange, tea tree, peppermint, lavender, lemongrass, and eucalyptus.

Promising review: "I bought the six-pack essential oils gift set, and they are wonderful. I use them in my humidifier, and they really do help me. I use a combo of three oils to help keep my lungs clear, and it really helps me tremendously. In addition, I put lavender in at night to help me sleep, and it has surely made a difference. Furthermore, I have to say that I totally love the way the sweet orange smells. Without a doubt, it is one of my favorites. I will certainly buy it again, and it also makes a great gift. The box that the oils came in was utterly beautiful and very sturdy; it had foam all around the inside to cushion the bottles. I just can't say enough about these oils. You won't be sorry if you buy it." —Jo Ann R.

Promising review: "Beautiful hardcover cookbook with so many yummy Disney recipes from the parks! There is a lot of Disney foodie history in it, plus recipes that look easy to follow with high-quality ingredients. There are fun maps of each of the parks inside, showing where the food is typically located, which makes it fun. As an avid Disney fan, I have never seen a cookbook like this." —Nicole

We've had this coffee maker in our kitchen for a while and while I am not a coffee drinker my husband is and he loves it. He used to be a barista in high school so he has some experience with fancy coffee machines and still thinks this one is amazing. He absolutely loves that he can just pour a bunch of whole beans in and freshly grind the precise amount when he wants a cup of coffee. He usually just uses it to make drip or iced coffee, but likes to switch it up on the weekends and whip up some fancy lattes.

Promising review: "Should buy if you love coffee and don't want to spend $5+ on coffee everyday. This was worth every penny I paid for it. It has saved us so much money instead of going and getting coffee at Starbucks or Dutch Bros everyday. I still get it every once in a while, but this is such a great substitute and I have no need to go out and spend money as this does everything. From grinding coffee beans, to using already ground coffee, this machine does it all. It even does the frothing and also makes cold brew coffee. So if you want to make hot coffee or enjoy your cold brews, this will do it for you." —Lani

Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this chair. I wanted something big and comfy that I can lounge in for reading on my patio. This was everything I had dreamed of and more. I can’t wait to get home every day to read on this thing. My cat enjoys cuddling up with me as well. I’ve read three books since purchasing this chair less than a month ago. It was easy to put together, too! A little intimidating but totally doable for just one person. I strongly recommend this chair." —Regina

Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. 

To use, simply open the bootie, slip your foot inside, remove the backing from the tab to secure it around your ankle, and wear 'em for 30 minutes. When times up, massage the treatment into your feet and wipe the excess away with a towel.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has these and says, "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!"
