You don’t exactly *need* these things, but how could anyone say no to a Snoopy umbrella?

As a BuzzFeed Shopping editor, my goal is to find all the products actually worth buying.

OK, so maybe a troll lighter, a murder-themed puzzle book, and color-changing lipstick aren't life-changing purchases. But also, they kinda are???

The puzzles are logic puzzles, not Sudoku puzzles, so expect clues and a graph to help you rule out suspects. 

Promising review: "Amazing! These puzzles are so fun. It’s nice that they start easy and get harder, so you can get used to the format first, then continue to be challenged as you learn how they work. Fun, visually appealing, and sprinkled with humor. I finished this one in about 1.5 months (of fairly dedicated work) and ordered Volume 2 before I was even done with the first one. It’s a higher price point than many puzzle books, but you get high quality for what you pay." —EN

The lighters aren't included, but reviewers mention that the cheap little ones from gas stations work perfectly (but that standard Bic ones were a tight fight)! 

Promising review: "I can't even. This is literally the cutest thing I have ever impulse bought. It’s a hit at parties and I giggle every time I remove the cute little hat to use the lighter." —Catt Pecknold 

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five styles). 

Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick. 

Promising review: "This color is beautiful and shows up differently on everyone. The thing that I like most about this product is that it stays on all day, even after eating several meals. I have to use a microfiber cloth to remove it at night!" —Rasheda

Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (also available in nine other colors). 

Promising review: "Super cute and they are going to be such a hit in my treasure box!" —Octavia

Promising review: "Bought them as a gift, but now I'm keeping one lol just because they are so cute." —Jessica Geer

Promising review: "​I LOVE the unique and cute design of this measuring cup because the penguin is my favorite animal! ​​The cup is made of silicone, so it is kind of slippery, but safe and will not break if I drop it.​" —Jimmyzzxhlh

Promising review: "These are very cute! I love the flexibility. The stems are long so it will not get knocked out your book (my book is always roaming in my bag). The top is subtle. It really looks like a mushroom emerging from your book. Worth the buy." —Atticus

Get a set of four from Amazon for $16.95 (also available as cable ties).

I have these and love the design, but have to admit that I wish the sticky section was a little bigger because they tend to curl. I fix this issue with a glue stick.

Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" —Lindsey

Get a set of six from Amazon for $4.76. 

Apply the ink with a stencil and the tattoo will develop over the next day to look like the real deal.

Promising review: "I purchased the kit for me and my GF. This was my first time doing this kind of tattoo making, so I wasn't sure what to expect aside from having a lot of fun. Well, we had way more than fun as we started inking each other. The tattoo-making process is really easy. My tat is now six days old and still looks dark and sharp." —Golan

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Love this! This does exactly what it’s supposed to! My daughters fave lit up seeing her hard-boiled eggs look like bunnies. So easy and a breeze to clean." —Karen

Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.30. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sneakers! They have a stylish retro look that goes with almost any casual outfit. The gum sole gives them a classic touch, and they’re surprisingly comfortable for all-day wear. The hook-and-loop closure makes them easy to put on and take off, while still providing a secure fit. They’re lightweight, flexible, and great for walking, shopping, or everyday activities. I’ve received several compliments on them already. Great quality and value for the price — highly recommend!" —Jocelene Jacques

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and nine colors).

Promising review: "So soft and fitted to my feet. Probably going to get other colors very soon. Love an easy slip-on that’s affordable." —Bran fish

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and many colors). 

The kit comes with two landscapes and one portrait of Bob.

Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and What a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

Promising review: "The flavor is great and tastes better than the cereal. I sprinkle it in coffee with sweet cream, and it makes a very good morning cup of coffee. I love it.❣️Keep it as a normal and necessary household seasoning, y’all. All the best! 💋" —JessiSarai7186

Get it from Amazon for $3.49+ (available in two sizes). 

The fork has three prongs to make it easy to spear olives and pickles.

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite kitchen gizmos, and it doesn't take up room in the drawer! I eat lots of olives, and this keeps me from having to wash or get a clean fork when I'm in the middle of making a salad or just want a snack, and it makes spearing the olives easier, too. It comes with two sizes to fit any jar (even though if you need, this I feel like you probably get the big jars, right?). They are stretchy and easy to get on and off. I usually just rinse it between uses and then wash the whole set up when I open a new jar (which is about weekly)." —Emily

Promising review: "These are the best children’s bandages. I love the color-changing design — it makes these fun and less daunting for a child to wear. I actually have to hide these so my child does not put these on for fun/fashion statement, haha. Very comfortable and flexible material that stays on quite well/but not too much so that it is hard to take off." —Mama N 

It can measure up to 3 feet, so it's better for measuring smaller things.

Promising review: "I thrift a lot and often wish I had a measuring tape to compare picture frame sizes, furniture, etc. This has come in handy so many times. It can attach to your keychain/bag, or you can keep it in your car for such an occasion." —KB

Promising review: "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

Aegodesigns is a small business based in London that sells glowing jewelry. 

Promising review: "This was a little more delicate than I was expecting, but honestly? I think that's on me lol. I love this necklace. The little glow holds pretty well! Might not be super bright by then, but it's subtle, and that's my favorite thing about this necklace. 10/10 Would buy again." —Raina

Get it from Aegodesigns on Etsy for $64.82 (available in seven lengths).

Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. 

Promising review: "This nail veil is so pretty and perfect for a simple, bare nail look! It applies very smoothly, and one to two coats work well. With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand's use of healthier, higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren't left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don't have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!" —Sofia K 

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in nine shades). 

Promising review: "For highly competitive players! If you have players who can’t handle regular Uno without their feelings being hurt, they will not enjoy this version. We, however, have some very competitive card players in our family and had a blast playing this game. No Mercy means just that! Enjoy!" —Mom Reviews

Promising review: "Maybe it’s stupid to buy something purely because it’s officially branded, but I did, and I’m very happy and excited about it. I hate shuffling card decks, and this eliminates that for me." —🌸Animefan🌸

Promising review: "As always, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I can't stop myself from eating them. The only way to prevent it is by having my friend hold onto the bag and ration them out to me. To me, they taste like bouncy, silky marshmallows with that gorgeous floral-tea taste on the end. Absolutely sinful. Not an overwhelming sweetness, either. Just the perfect amount to let you know it's a sweet treat, not just smacking you in the face with sugar. These are a STAPLE in my household and will be for as long as they're available for me to purchase; I don't give a damn how expensive it is. It is worth EVERY PENNY." —Samantha JR

Promising review: "Saw this in a BuzzFeed article and was intrigued. The blurb was interesting, and the reviews were correct: this helps my tired eyes with just a swipe under each eye. My puffy eyes aren't so puffy, and my face feels less tense. I keep it in the refrigerator, too, which adds to the cooling effect. I also swipe it over my eyelids, which relaxed me before bed. Will definitely purchase again." —S. B.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles and also multipacks).

It's made with shea butter, olive oil, and coconut oil. Just grab a pinch and rub it over wet skin. Paper Plane sells cute gag gifts from the UK. 

Promising review: "This is such a fun idea! It smells as good as it looks, plus I love that you can play with it and not get in trouble for playing with your food. ;) Definitely recommend!" —Amaya

Get it from Paper Plane on Etsy for $18.35.

Promising review: "I absolutely adore these!!! They are so cute and definitely do the job! They keep the surface free from water rings and make me giggle!" —johnny williams

Get a set of six from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in larger sets). 

Promising review: "The look and feel of this scarf are very nice. It looks expensive, but was so affordable. I receive so many compliments on it, and no one could believe what little I paid. I’m going to be ordering a few more for friends." —Nikki

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 15 patterns).

Promising review: "Omg, I received my umbrella just in time for my college experience with rising freshman, and it was the topic of conversation once I got out of the rain from the tour. I love my Duckhead!" —Jimel

Get it from Duckhead for $45 (also available in 30 other designs). 

Notes include: marshmallow, pink pepper, bergamot, rose, vanilla, and orange blossom.

Promising review: "I bought this parody of Killian's Love, Don’t Be Shy, and it smells amazing. For spending less than $50 on what would normally be an almost $400 bottle of perfume, you just can’t beat it. I thought, based on the price, it was a risk and there might be a slight chemical smell, but there’s not; it’s absolutely amazing, lasts for several hours, and the bottle is huge. At first, it smells like a strong, sweet warm musk, but as it wears off, it just smells sweeter and sweeter. It’s absolutely the best, and I will be buying again." —Slates

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

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing!! I put it on every night and morning. I’ve been using a little over a month and you can already tell a difference. My dark circles are hereditary, so I truly thought nothing would work. However this stuff IS GREAT!" —Shay M. 

Promising review: "I have a pair of the Aerie crossover flare leggings, and those are worn out, so I decided to purchase another pair because I can’t live without my flares! Y'all, these leggings are the truth!! I have never seen such a great [alternative] for the Aerie ones. They feel like butter soft on your skin and have the same durability and thickness, even the same stitching!! Save your money and get these!!!" —Jasmine

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, four inseams, and in 32 colors).

Promising review: "I wasn't seeing many pictures of small-chested ladies, so I was a little worried about how this would fit. Purchased X-Small, and it fits perfectly! The straps stay in place, don't look weird with the bra cups, and it is form-fitting in the back. I hate tank tops that have a big gap in the back. This one does not. It goes down to about my belly button. I wanted something similar to the Lululemon Align, but this is well worth it instead! It is not tight at all, does not dig in, and is super breathable. I am thrilled with this purchase!" —olivia schilling

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 

The blue patches are illuminating eye masks (for dull under eyes). The gold patches are energizing eye masks (for tired under-eyes). The pink patches are moisturizing eye masks (for dry under-eyes).

Promising review: "I have tried many eye masks through the years and was pleasantly surprised by this product. It's worth the hype. I'm a skincare lover and have spent tens of thousands on skin products, including LED red light masks, infrared saunas, and every new facial device that has come along, including high-end skincare and everything in between. I have eye bags and hollows, and these do a phenomenal job at plumping and hydrating the under-eye area. Great quality and quantity for the price. I will be repurchasing." —Nvohpa88

Get six pairs from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in packs of 24, 48, and 72 and in three styles).

Spiceology is a small business that sells creative spices and blends.

Promising review: "My stepdaughter uses this on EVERYTHING! She loves this stuff. She uses it on fries, chicken, burgers, steak, pork, vegetables, and just about everything else. It's one of the few things we keep right on the table. I may have to put it into a shaker! She can’t get enough — I have bought it several times now!" —Chandra

Promising review: "I bought this product hoping for a fresh, divine scent, and wow, it completely blew me away! I’m usually not one to purchase scented products without smelling them first, but I took a leap of faith and it paid off. Hawaiian Bliss is everything I hoped for and more. The scent is absolutely heavenly; rejuvenating, relaxing, and somehow energizing at the same time. After using it, I felt calmer, refreshed, and even a little happier. I genuinely look forward to using it. I’m already planning to order more, not just for myself but to include in gift baskets for friends and family. If you’re on the fence, go for it. Highly recommend!" —K. Marie

Get it from Amazon for $5.87 (also available in spring rain or vanilla). 

Promising review: "I bought this last month, and I love it! I've never been a fan of the key hanger by the front door (it never felt safe to me), but I always end up turning my apartment upside down, looking for my keys. This is a cute and fun place to remember to grab my keys when I am heading out, and it's endearing to return them to the goose when I come home." —JAK

Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in two colors). 

It has a built-in flash, charges with USB-C, comes with 20 filters, and boasts nine "scene modes" including party, beach, and night. 

I love this little camera! It's a simple point-and-shoot that's great for beginners and people looking to take casual photos. The Miffy filters are sooooo cute, and make me wanna take thousands of photos, early-Facebook-era style. 

Promising review: "I purchased this soap on what seemed like an endless exploration to find a soap that works for my dry skin. One that smells decent and lasts a long time while actually getting us clean. THIS SOAP IS THE ONE. It feels amazing, and after a shower, I no longer feel itchy or uncomfortable. My wife is an automotive mechanic and was struggling to find a soap that truly deep cleaned stains from oil, grease, fuel, dirt, and grime. Let me just say the day she used it, what we thought were permanent black stains on her hands and nails just disappeared. She was so happy. This soap also lasts quite a while — it's not like those other natural soaps that disappear in a week. It suds up so well and smells amazing. This is an amazing soap, and you should definitely try it." —cameron
