You’ll be dreaming of your morning matcha thanks to this adorable matcha making kit.

I am a contributor and former resident writer at BuzzFeed Shopping, where I covered everything from fashion to kitchen products — but beauty and travel are my bread and butter (and shopping vices).

Promising review: "This blanket is absolutely gorgeous! Not only are the colors brilliant, but the quality of the blanket is very good. It stands up to the hard use of my very young children, who love to make forts with it or make capes out of it. It’s so soft and warm as well. I love it compared to my fleece blankets, which always seem to hold onto all the hair and crumbs in my house. This is easy to wash and keep clean, but still looks high-end. Love it!" —Katie

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six sizes and 25 colors).

Promising review: "One of the most, if not the most, unique zip up I own, it's super comfortable, and for the price, it's a must buy if you're looking for a unique zip up. It elevates every fit! It's not super boxy, which makes it even better, imo." —nick

Get it from Hollister for $53.19+ (available in men's sizes XS–XXL, regular and tall fits, and in 22 colors).

The Thrifty Wick is a small business based in Nebraska that specializes in hand-poured organic soy wax candles.

Promising review: "The candle arrived quickly, was packaged well, and there was great communication with the seller. The aroma is wonderful and I would highly recommend this candle company." —Jenny

Get it from The Thrifty Wick on Etsy for $4.99+ (originally $9.99+; available in two sizes, two wick options, and 16 scents).

Promising review: "Mike’s Hot Honey has become a staple in our pantry! We love the combination of sweet + spicy! You get the sweet taste of honey you know and love + a nice fiery kick at the end! But the heat is not overwhelming, it’s just right! My husband and I love to add this to our fried chicken sandwiches!" —Ashley Munn

Get it from Amazon for $9.53 (available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "Very comfortable and not too tight on your head. I mostly use it when I have headaches, and it helps relieve the pressure. I now wear it to sleep and on long flights." —Amazon Customer

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

This Dutch oven can handle temps up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and has a lid that's designed for water vapor to condense, then drip back into your food so your dish isn't losing moisture.

Promising reviews: "I researched a lot before choosing this Dutch oven. I wasn't sure that this brand would be of high quality because the price is so much lower than the famous Le Creuset and others. This Overmont product is stylish and big enough to hold a whole chicken or probably roast. On first cooking, we did jerk beef ribs and were pleased with the result. Heat distribution is excellent, and it's easy to clean with hot, soapy water." —NJM

"I bought this specifically for baking bread. Everyone was suggesting I buy the Le Creuset brand, but I'm new to the task, so I didn't want to spend an exorbitant amount. I could not be happier with my purchase. I've preheated both the pot and lid for an hour, as the recipes have said, and it works beautifully. It bakes fresh sourdough and yeast bread, yielding really beautiful brown crusts and even cooking throughout. I use parchment to line the pot for cooking, so clean-up is a breeze. 5 stars!" —Iris C. Wilson

Get it from Amazon for $31.49+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors. 

And if you like the look, but want something smaller, here's their small crescent bag made from the same water-resistant nylon!

Promising reviews: "I love the color, there’s so much space, and the material is water resistant! Definitely a 10/10" —Valentina Ramirez

"It’s been a couple of years and came back to say it’s one of my favorite bags. The material is so durable and thick and looks so good with almost any outfit. I love how thick the strap is, so comfy and doesn’t dig into your shoulder. Baggu is def worth it terms of cost. You’ll find that this bag will last you a long time. It’s about 6L for size. Worked great as a toddler bag/purse." —nvm

Get it from Amazon for $52+ (available in 16 colors). 

Bed Band is a US-based small business that specializes in bed bands for mattresses of various sizes. 

Promising review: "These are about the most simple solution possible, so it’s amazing how well they work. They remind me of the glove ties I used as a kid to hold them together. Applying that logic to sheets is a match made in heaven. They fit on super easy, and in the few days I’ve used them, the sheets have been held in place perfectly. They are strong yet gentle, so they don’t damage your sheets no matter how soft they are. The value of these is spot on, and they definitely help prevent wrinkles (but nothing is perfect). Consider buying these if you want bed corners popping up to help a thing of the past." —Kade Winters

Check out the Owala FreeSip water bottle on TikTok!

Promising review: "Amazing water bottle, and I’ve tried a billion of them! It has the straw part, and the free sip if you need to chug some water real quick while working out. Love the color and durability, and my water stays cold with ice for over 24 hours, no problem. Also leakproof! Bonus! Bought one for my boyfriend too, and he says it fits great in his golf bag." —Meghan Jacobson

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five sizes and 26 colors).

It's also dishwasher-safe, heat-resistant up to 392 degrees Fahrenheit and works with fried foods.

Promising review: "I love this thing! It is quite sturdy and has no issues holding lots of ravioli, tortellini, or any other shaped pasta. One note, it does not do well with long spaghetti. It is also great for grabbing veggies out when I blanch them in water or chicken breasts I have poached. I was injured in an automobile accident, and my hands are not in great condition. This has made having to use tongs for some things no longer necessary. It has also — totally — made lifting heavy pots full of liquid unnecessary. Cooking is therapy for me, and to find any tools that make it easier for me is fantastic! I highly recommend this scoop to anyone needing a little help in the kitchen, or who just wants to not have to pull out strainers all of the time." —Kayce McCarty

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two styles).

Promising review: "Love these knives. Sharp, aesthetic, and serve their purpose. The set comes with a good amount of knives and the shears are incredible." —Samantha Gillin

Get a set of six knives plus kitchen shears on Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four color sets). 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart is a big fan: "I have three pairs of these babies because they're just so comfortable straight out of the box. You don't have to worry about blisters, and they don't look out of place with dresses and skirts. They're also simple enough to slip on and off when going through the airport, so they check all of my travel boxes!"

Promising review: "Love these shoes! I try to pair these with almost every outfit because they’re so comfy and stylish! Recently went to Philly, where I had to walk everywhere because we didn't rent a car, and these were the only pair of shoes I brought (I travel light). These didn’t cramp up my feet at all as I walked over seven hours daily over the course of five days. Definitely recommend! But one thing hurts my heart...the creasing at the front of the shoe that comes with loving these shoes so much.😢" —Alli J

Get them from Amazon for $45.48+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in six colors/patterns).

Just wash and air dry them before the next use and store them in the nifty travel box to keep them clean.

Promising review: "So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." —Marisa

Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in three sizes, four shades, and a lifts version).

BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.

Fullstar is a small biz that specializes in super useful kitchen gadgets! 

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift, and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it works for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!

Promising reviews: "I've had my eye on a Dyson Airwrap, but given the cost, I figured I'd try this while I save up. This thing is fantastic. I have waist-length hair that's naturally straight, but gets frizzy when damp. I've had salon blowouts that have left my hair looking great, but I simply can't manage a round brush without it getting tangled in my hair. This device has been a game changer. It works best if you air dry for a while before you use it, then use it to finish your style. My hair miraculously doesn't get snarled in it, and it leaves my hair looking like I've had it professionally styled. I love it, and I'm no longer interested in blowing $500 on a Dyson. Highly recommend!" —Ilsa

Get it from Amazon for $43.64+ (available in three styles and two colors).

Promising review: "This is a miracle worker!! I’ve had a dry, flaky scalp forever. I’ve tried using coconut oil, jojoba oil, hair masks, special shampoos, everything just seemed to kinda mask the problem and didn’t actually get rid of my dead skin. Since I’ve been using this for the last few weeks, my hair feels so much better. After the first wash with it, my hair already looked so much healthier, and my scalp didn’t feel tight. If you struggle with a super-tight scalp that always seems sunburned, this should help." —Jamie

Get it from Amazon for $6.49+ (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "I got these to help motivate me to write in a journal to help my mental health. They work great, and I LOVE seeing all the different colors in my journal! It makes me happy. :)" —Ella B

"I love these pens. They were on a TikTok review, so I thought I would give them a shot. I don't doodle, I write. They write smoothly like a felt-tip pen. Plus the option of colors, yahoo! For $7, you can't go wrong!" —Heatherfoy68

Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three color sets and larger packs).

Danjor Linens is a small business that specializes in bedding products for home and dorm use. 

Promising review: "I sleep extremely hot. I always have issues with sheets and blankets, but with these sheets, I sleep cool. I have a very thick memory foam mattress, and [the sheets fit] perfectly. They are so super soft, I truly love them. I noticed that when I washed them, they got softer. I personally don’t use fabric softeners or bleach. I have used them for about a month now, I am definitely going to buy more." —Mel

Get it from Amazon for $12.27+ (available in sizes twin–California king and eight colors). 

Promising review: "These slippers are amazing! Discovered them on TikTok and went back and forth about ordering them but wow, they are so comfortable. I have barely taken them off since receiving them. They are so fluffy and stay on my feet surprisingly well when walking around the house. Can’t wait until more colors are in stock to get another pair." —MSumm

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 12 colors). 

Well Etched is a woman-owned, California-based Etsy shop that specializes in natural whipped body butters.

Promising review: "AMAZING!!! This is not only such a great quality product, but it smells amazing!!! There was also a sample of another scent, and it smelled so good! I’ll definitely be ordering it. Item shipped super quickly, and there was a thoughtful handwritten note in the package! 1,000/10💕💕💕" —Maggie Ryan

Get it from Well Etched on Etsy for $13.77 (originally $14.50; available in three sizes and tons of scents).

Need extra space? No worries! It also includes a handy shoe pouch for those extra essentials. 

Promising review: "I was looking for a travel bag that I can pack a bunch of outfits for an out-of-state trip. I usually overpack and need to check my bags at the airport causing more delays in my travel journey. This bag accommodated all my stuff with a strategic way to pack and had everything I needed for five nights. I would order another one with wheels if I can find one. Otherwise, this bag is still amazing." —Roxanne Mason

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in 10 colors and also in a roller style).

This kit comes with a bamboo whisk, a bamboo scooper, a little stand for the scooper, a holder for the whisk, a strainer, a ceramic bowl for mixing, and a cute mat to put everything on! 

It does not come with matcha, so grab a bag of matcha powder if you need it!

Promising review: "I love making matcha at home, you get soo much better quality and soo much cheaper. This set makes it so much easier and fun to make matcha at home! The presentation was soo cute too!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in six colors and two patterns).

Promising review: "I purchased these for my daughter and daughters-in-law for their stockings. I broke the package up and put them in a Ziploc bag (the scents are very strong) and then placed them in a nicer bag for each person's stocking. They were excited. The bath bombs are nice, but most of them rarely get time for a luxurious bath, so these were a great alternative for their shower." —A M B

Get a pack with 18 steamers from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five scents and also in packs of six).

Just so you know, this is not dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "It's so cute. It gives me so much serotonin drinking from it and having it on my desk. I'm always craving any sort of liquid so I do drink it pretty fast, but I just keep a refill close. The cup makes it worth the trip to refill." —Po1sonPod

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

Psst — they also make different versions of their Mini Maker, including a waffle maker and panini press (and a set with all three)! 

Promising review: "This is the perfect easy breakfast sandwich maker. It cooks the egg perfectly (I used jumbo eggs, and it worked perfectly just like regular eggs). It’s honestly one of my personal favorite appliances. I just had a baby, and having something I can crack an egg into and let it sit to cook without having to flip and it’s done within five minutes is honestly a lifesaver, and it cleans super easy! 10/10 I love this thing; it's just like my George Foreman!" —Emily

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two colors).

Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. 

Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it’s pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It’s an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don’t mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" —Nala

Get a set of four from Amazon for $19 (available in four styles and a pack of 16).

Check out a swatch video of the palette on TikTok here, and if you're looking for watercolor tutorials using this very palette, you can check one to help you paint a sunset here.

This kit comes with 100 watercolor shades in a compact case, three water brush pens, a sketch pencil, a sponge, and a swatch sheet.

Promising review: "I'm starting to hate Tiktok because it's making me buy all these products, but I absolutely love this one!!! I travel for a living and love to paint and this set is wonderful. I love that it comes in a metal tin, so I don't have to worry about it breaking, like most plastic ones. The colors are vibrant and I love that there are so many within the container. The container itself is the size of two make up eye palettes, so you can definitely fit it in a purse or backpack. It comes with a swatch section too so you can paint the colors and compare later on when you paint. I'm a huge fan now of this brand." —pixxi88

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five colors and sets with matching lids or saucers).

Promising review: "The Fellow Stagg alternative you're looking for. I'll be honest, I was one of those Fellow Stagg cultists and mine broke after some time using it. I'm so glad I checked reviews on Reddit and Amazon, because this thing is amazing. It looks modern and sleek. The temperature controls are accurate and plenty. The boiling speed and 'hold' function are amazing. And most importantly the price is one third of the Stagg (less if on sale!!)." —JLS

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three styles).
