Literally no one should ever have to endure three consecutive Zoom meetings without some form of compensation.

As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

Promising review: "By far the most amazing coloring book I’ve ever bought! It’s so funny, and it really makes you laugh at the most annoying and inconvenient experiences in life. This made me laugh so much I bought two more for friends who also loved it! 10/10" —KArribas

Psst — Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront! Check out a TikTok of Coco Wyo coloring books in action. 

Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set.

Promising review: "One of my favorites ever!!! The idea is perfect, and the pages are all unique and fun to color, with no repetition, and the details aren't too tiny. Great for anxiety if you're doing coloring for mental health. (I hate the pages that are just tiny patterns repeated endlessly. Makes my anxiety worse.)" —Ezra Johnson

Promising review: "Hi millennials with babies, lol. Loved these as a kid? Or like me — always wanted one and never got one? Well, now's your chance. It's very similar to the ones popular when we were kids, and it lights up. My baby loves to watch my daughter use this. My husband loves to skip-hop with it, too, and omg, that's worth the full price of this toy each time. This toy has paid for itself five times over with the laughter and fun it's caused." —Kassy 

Get it from Amazon for $11.96+ (available in four colors). 

Promising review: "These are so freaking good! I really wish I had gotten more than one, or they came in a bigger bag, because oh my gosh! If you're questioning whether to get these or not to get them, and you like dill pickle flavored stuff, I would say get more than one!" —Felicia Pizzo

Get it from Amazon for $3.62 (also available in four other flavors like garlic chili crisp and rosemary sea salt, plus multipacks).

Promising review: "This isn't as shimmery as you would think, but just subtle enough to not look like a disco ball. The smell is nice and light, and it absorbs nicely, and it's not sticky or greasy. Makes skin look very nice, even if you are not tan!" —Colorado Gal

Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in two sizes).

Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 

Promising review: "I am so impressed with the quality and longevity of this essence! I’ve been using it every single day, twice a day, for over a month now, and the bottle is still practically full. I use about 6 drops per application (12 drops a day), and it barely looks like I’ve touched it! It is completely unscented — which was a surprise since the Innisfree Cherry Blossom line smells so divine — but the performance makes up for it. It is hands-down the best product I’ve found for keeping my skin hydrated and glowing. If you want a high-quality product that actually lasts, this is it!" —Carolina Londoño Mesa

Promising review: "I love to come home after a long day on my feet and just put my feet into this foot bath. Love the vibration. It feels so good. Highly recommended." —ziggy

Crafts and the City is a Black-owned small business specializing in comforting aromatherapy and skincare products.

Promising review: "Absolutely FANTASTIC!! 😩 I haven’t had a jelly pedicure in literally ages, and that last experience was at the nail salon. However, I’m now able to get the salon treatment at a fraction of the price thanks to So So Jelly! Buy this product, you won’t regret it!" —Ranet

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in lavender and rose).

Promising review: "I think this little toy is adorable. I have it on my coffee table, and you just wind it and watch it go. I bought one for a friend, and she loved it. Cute gift for cat lovers." —T

While there's a lot of public debate about fluoride, there’s strong scientific evidence that fluoride makes enamel stronger, and the ADA recommends always using fluoridated toothpaste. So, we *highly recommend* purchasing the fluoride version of this toothpaste. Read more at the ADA. 

Promising review: "As a hygienist, I recommend this product every day. I bought this bundle for my granddaughter, but I use it every morning! I no longer put off brushing until after coffee because the flavor profiles do not conflict! SuperMouth are the first products my six-year-old granddaughter uses without trying to postpone brushing her teeth. Highly recommend this flavor, rich and satisfying!" —Tami

Get it from SuperMouth for $32.99 (originally $38.98; available with or without fluoride).

Nuts 'N More is a small business that specializes in unique peanut and almond spreads. 

Check out a TikTok of the spread in action. 

Promising review: "Amazing flavor, one of the best flavored peanut butters I have tried. I eat it by the spoonful without bread because it is that good, and I love that it has little topping pieces as well." —Tina Ray 

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 11 flavors). 

Promising review: "This is by far my favorite lip gloss on Amazon. The lip gloss keeps your lips moisturized and plump throughout the day. Highly recommend if you haven’t tried already!" —Brianna Clark 

Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in six shades and in two-packs). 

Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." —Lexie Collins

And it comes with a 32-page, illustrated booklet all about goats, making this product the G.O.A.T. itself.

Promising review: "This little piece of screaming plastic has created an excellent outlet for resolving frustrations in our home. Every time a conflict or struggle arises we push the little goat, get a gratifying screech, chuckle, and move on throughout our day. No regrets on purchasing this. When you get one, get four or five because you're going to want to share with family and friends." —Ashley

Free Yourself is an LGBTQ-owned small biz that creates the most intoxicating unisex scents any nose will ever have the pleasure of smelling. And each scent is crafted with positive psychology and emotional well-being in mind

Y'ALL — I just... The quality of the candles and perfumes from Free Yourself consistently blows me away, and Terre is another banger scent profile they've unlocked. It's this divine woodsy scent that also has this almost baby powder-esque smell to it that I am truly and utterly in love with. It has this beautiful duality of being both deep, sensual, and earthy, but also light and airy. I rarely say this, but plz bury me with this. I think the bugs would be so enchanted with my scent that they wouldn't eat me.

Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in five sizes).

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 $15.99+ (available in seven styles). 

Promising reviews: "Santa left this under the tree for my 9-year-old son, and he LOVES it! So easy to use and takes only a few tries to figure out the boomerang effect! So fun, my parents, his grandparents joined in, and we had a blast with it! If you are thinking about purchasing this, DO IT!! And the charge life is not bad either. Lasts long enough to give you breaks!!" —Kerri

"When my son received this, he was excited! I saw this on TikTok and surprised him with it! I was not disappointed with the quality and how it worked! Will definitely purchase again!!" —Jindee

Get it from Amazon for $24.32+ (available in seven colors).

This lil' treat is also caffeine-free and includes no artificial sweeteners. So while it has flavor, it does not have an overwhelmingly sweet taste and might need to be sweetened to your preference. And just be mindful that it does have floating fruit bits in it. But if that's not your thing, you can also strain them out!

Promising review: "I will be setting this up for a subscription! I like the low sugar, more natural ingredients in this powdered drink. No sugar substitute here, 60 calories perhaps mainly from the fruit pieces added in. High quality without an aftertaste! Those dried fruit pieces are small and few, simply a gentle texture added for variety that few alternative powders are doing with natural ingredients. The price is worth it. Do not think of the pieces as pulp. They are more like small pieces you may get from a blended smoothie on occasion. Some may dislike the added texture, but I like it because it adds to the "natural" element Twinings is going for here. I hope they expand their flavors. Yum!" —TruBluLifestyle

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.46 (also available in strawberry raspberry, and in a pack of six).

The brand sent me a sample of their current array of flavors to try: Classic Oat, Dark Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Raspberry, and Salted Peanut, and y'all... every flavor was BOMB DOT COM! I'm not even a hard cookie fan like that, but my boyfriend and I ran through these four boxes like water (lol). Real talk, I was lucky to even get a taste of the dark chocolate chip ones because of how quickly my man devoured them. Joy Supply has truly mastered how to make a cookie with the perfect amount of sweetness. I am not a big sugar fan. I prefer my cookies to be more on the decadent side than super sweet, and I feel like these have such a great balance of salty and sweet. Also love that they were made with high-quality ingredients. Would happily indulge in these again!

Get four boxes for $27 (also available in three other flavors).

And it's specially designed for you to be able to eat it straight out of the mug —because dishes? Not tonight, boo! Some reviewers also recommend getting two so that you always have one in the freezer at the ready. 

Y'ALL — I can't get over how much I love this ice maker. I had been pining over the Ninja Swirl since it came out, but my wallet kept saying "lol." So, after writing about this bad boy so much, I decided to buy it myself, and it is truly one of my favorite purchases of the year. I love how small it is, so it doesn't take up a ton of room in my freezer or on my counter. And it only has three pieces to manage. I used to own a Cuisinart one that I eventually got rid of because it was too bulky. This one is the perfect size for me.

I also love that it's designed to eat right out of the bowl. I got these covers that are designed to fit the mug so that if I can't finish it, I can just put it in the freezer instead of putting it in another container. The worst part is having to wait 24 hours for the bowl to freeze, but I got two, like other reviewers recommended, so that I'll always have one available if the other one is in use. I'm TOO excited to experiment with flavors. Love, love, LOVE!

Promising review: “I truly am not a big ice cream fan, but decided to try this one after seeing some videos online about it. Let me tell you, I used it so much in the first two weeks that I had to put it away and hide it! If this machine broke tomorrow, I would immediately buy another." —cb2767

Get a set of two from Amazon for $38.78.

This collection includes one of each of the following flavors: Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks, Darkest Chocolate, Brown Butter Almond Brittle, Honey Vanilla Bean, and Brambleberry Crisp.

The brand sent me a sample of this delicious collection, and of course, it was the quickest "yes" I've ever given, lol. So far, I've made my way through the Brambleberry Crisp (my boyfriend and I have literally fought over the last bite) and the Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks (he doesn't like peanut butter, so I've been able to enjoy this one in peace). And then, I'm very excited to get into the Honey Vanilla Bean next. But truly, every container has been so yummy that we've opened it and would make an ice cream lover very happy. I mean, I even think it could convert an ice cream hater, tbh. It also comes very well packaged. I didn't open it right away, and even with sitting on my table for a few hours after delivery, those pints were still rock solid with ice all over them when I finally unboxed them to put in my freezer. I'd also love to recommend this heated ice cream scoop to go along with it if you have no patience and want to get into those pints of creamy goodness ASAP.

Promising review: "I sent my mom the bestsellers collection for Mother's Day, and she was SO happy. She's quite picky about ice cream and usually thinks it's too sweet or not sweet enough, or too thick or not creamy enough, or needs 'something.' But she only had gushing things to say about every flavor in this combo!" —David M

Get six pints from Jeni's Ice Cream for $79. And check out their other flavor collections here.

Satavi Naturals is a small biz that creates wellness products that give you a spa-like experience at home.

I have gotten this spa set, and it truly is everything you need to relax from a long week in a box. It comes with all the essentials for a relaxing evening — 24K gold eye masks, a set of steam eye masks, sugar scrubs, an unscented candle, and three gorgeous bath bombs in eucalyptus mint, lavender, and citrus. And from the moment you open the lid, you're immediately hit with a divine scent that makes you excited to end work early and take a bath. It also comes in a colorful, luxe box. I loved it!

Dear Prudence is a small business based in Berlin, Germany that sells surrealist accessories. 

Promising review: "I love these earrings so much! I wore them to a meet-up of cat-loving friends, and they were a hit." —Rainpdx

Get it from Dear Prudence on Etsy for $48.91+ (available in three finishes and four materials). 

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 of 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!" —Francia

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sets).

Moontale Store is a star-selling Etsy small business owned by Wendy and full of delightful squishy toys.

Promising review: "My daughter was BEYOND excited when she opened the cutest, ribbon-tied box I’ve ever seen! These squishies are absolutely AMAZING! Everything about my order was awesome and made my daughter’s day! Buy from this store because it’s everything it looks like in the pictures AND MORE!" —Stefanie Powell

Get it from Moontale Store on Etsy for $20.70+ (originally $25.28+; available in two colors or as a set of two).

Watch a TikTok of the face vase in someone's home. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord bought this and says: "I purchased this because I have a lil' Friday tradition of going to Trader Joe's and buying the $3.99 'petite bouquets' (Alexa, play 'Flowers' by Miley Cyrus!!) and it is the absolute perfect size for a mini bouquet. It is a treat to look at on my windowsill, 11/10 recommend for anyone who wants a bright spot in their living room!"

Promising review: "The vase is very nice, with and without flowers. It looks really good in my living room!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.49+ (available in three varieties, in white or gold, and in a set of three). 

Promising review: "I ordered the five pack and am SO happy I did. These eye patches are so easy to use and stay in place, and the gold color is so fun. I was able to move around my apartment (do dishes, do laundry, etc.) while I had them on. They perked my eyes right up and felt incredibly soothing. I think keeping them in the fridge and then applying them would add to their refreshing nature. They are easy to remove from their packaging and come with plenty of extra serum that I rubbed into my neck and chest." —Keely

Get a box of six pairs of masks from Amazon for $22 (available in gold and rose gold).

It can keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours!

So, I was debating for forever on whether or not to get this one or the cruiser cup just because that one has a more secure lid. But I loved the motif on this one and how it went the whole length of the cup. So, I just decided to do this one, and I am not disappointed in the slightest. It. Is. GORGEOUS in person. Like, truly, pictures do not do it justice. It's probably one of the nicest tumblers I own, and the gold straw is just that **chef's kiss** perfect accent. Truly makes you want to sip with your pinky up.

Promising review: "The colors and detail to the 24-ounce cold cup are so beautiful! I am so thrilled with the bold design, and I get so many compliments on it!" —Julie A.J.

Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $40 (available in four other styles).

Promising review: "I love this light! The stars are beautiful, the colors are beautiful. I like that it shuts off in four hours. I use it in my house so I don’t have to turn the lights on all the time. I like it so much, I just ordered three more to give to my grandchildren. It also has sounds like the sound of rain, or ocean waves. And you can even play your regular music on it. Don’t be afraid to try it! It’s like having the northern lights anytime you want." —Amy J Nelson

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "While they don’t reduce my dryness, I have never slept better wearing these before bed. The heat is so nice. The fit is perfect. Light on my face, and after about 30 seconds, I don’t even feel it around my ears. I’m so glad I discovered these. Will be buying again!" —Tiffany Campbell

"So soothing and relaxing. 😌 I deal with chronic pain on a 24/7 basis, and that can include headaches, migraines, anxiety, and sleeplessness. These eye masks are such a nice way to relax and drift off to sleep. They smell like lavender and are warm against my eyes and temples, helping to soothe any tension or puffiness from being upset over the pain. They were a gift to me, but I’ll be ordering more. 💜" —Megan

Get a set of ten from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in six other scents, including unscented).

Promising review: "I purchased this foot massager after reading an article on CNN about the best foot massagers out there. This is the best $68 I’ve ever spent! I have just about every foot problem known to (wo)man – plantar fasciitis, a bone spur, old scar tissue from a surgery, adhesions, high arches, and the list goes on and on. Yes this foot massager feels awesome when using it. But I also think it has improved the overall crappiness of my feet – meaning they are now less crappy! They feel better in every way and they don’t fatigue as easily throughout the day. I stand nearly all day at work, work out daily and am hard on my feet and this massager is a welcome treatment when I get home from the gym/work. My only complaint is due to how high my arches are, that portion of my feet really do not feel the rollers at all. An option for the rollers to roll ‘up’ higher would help. Multiple friends and family members have since purchased this after trying mine out. Buy it now – you will not regret it!" —KNazz

Get it from Amazon for $72.19+ (available in three colors and two sizes).

Eadem is a Black-woman-owned beauty small biz founded by two women of color, friends Marie Kouadio Amouzame and Alice Lin Glover, who bonded over their shared identity as children of immigrants.

Promising review: "I’ve tried a lot of lip balms, and this is the best one I’ve ever had. My lips have never felt softer or more moisturized. Not too sticky either! Worth the price!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "Sooo adorable, I bought this for my first apartment and it brings me joy. Hot Dawg! 🌭" —Anne

Promising review: "Here's what you do for starters: Slice a baguette. Add a slice of blue cheese. Toast in the oven or air fryer. Drizzle with this truffle honey to finish and impress your guests. They'll think you're a genius." —T. A.

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "Holy crap, this is delicious! The smell and the taste are amazing. I love putting it on my toast, oatmeal, cereal, cookies, the list goes on and on. Everyone should buy this if they like cinnamon and sugar as well as the cereal Cinnamon Toast Crunch!!" —JokersWild009

Get it from Amazon for $8.90+ (available in three sizes and a four-pack). 

Promising review: "These have to be the coolest things I have ever purchased. I have them in an empty wine bottle. I will be buying many more to cover the entire bottle in wax." —Bre

Promising review: "These adorable pens are a hoot! I can now ensure the pen thieves stay away from my desk. The point is very fine. It writes smoothly with black ink. The colors and the tiny faces are too cute. My favorite part is the little tail on the cap." —Bonnie

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.95.

Promising review: "Spacious. I love this little pouch, it’s so cute and even bigger than I thought it’d be." —Sarah R.
