Fun, unique, or new items that will make everyone ask, “hey, where did you get that?”

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

If you wanna turn some heads, you need a capybara mug, retro headphones, and metallic sneakers. Sorry, I don't make the rules! 

Promising review: "Perfect! Bought to extend the strap on my bag, and it's the PERFECT length and design. I'm so happy I found one with the round clips at both ends, because I didn't like the look of the ones with hooks already attached to the strap on my bag. Also love that I can hang charms from the strap if I want to decorate or change my style. It has been durable so far with no scratches or breaking." —Katie B

Promising review: "I can see why this went viral! So cute, easy to put up and adjust as needed. It’s bright enough to be seen from far away but not obnoxious." —KC

Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in a larger size). 

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. I work with boilers, so I am rough with my hands and these last. Also, if I happen to pop one off, I can pop another back on in seconds. The glue is very strong, and they come off so easily with the same brand removal oil. They are so quick to put on, I get a beautiful set of nails in under 15 minutes. Great value for the money. I like the thickness as they are not bulky, but definitely not thin. The color is stunning! I have purchased about seven different sets, as well as the toenails. Highly recommend." —Lynn

Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 41 styles).  

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. 

Heads up: The headphones look a little blue in the review picture, but they're white! 

Promising review: "Hands down the best headphones I've tried. ​The Nothing headphones are the complete package. The sound is fantastic, the software is great, the build quality feels premium, and the noise canceling does the job well. They easily beat everything else I tried. Don't overthink it — just buy them!" —RickyD

Reviewers say the freckles are easier to remove if you apply them over face makeup.  

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with these things! They lasted ALL day and then some! Application is easy, just keep your hand steady and make sure placement is even on both sides. I used a damp paper towel to apply. The glitter and sparkle lasted all day. Definitely worth the money, especially if you’re downing a multi-day festival. And as someone with sensitive skin, I didn’t have any issues. You may want to test the different shades on different skin tones, the rose gold was great for me, and the gold was stunning on my friend who is a beautiful chocolate brown." —Stacy

Promising review: "This stuff smells SO good! Like a sweet, sugary citrus, but not overpowering so, just a light fresh scent. The smell lasts forever. I used a kitchen towel to wipe my counters down and then hung the towel up and the next day I could still smell it when I walked into the kitchen. For the scent alone, I would purchase this again! As for cleaning ... it is not a disinfectant, it is just a general multipurpose cleaner, so I wouldn't use it to clean toilets or anything like that. It does a WONDERFUL job at cleaning and cutting grime and grease though. It actually surprised me! It doesn't leave residue or streaks but does leave a clean shiny surface. The bottle is plenty big. The only con is that the spray mechanism doesn't work the greatest. Sometimes it sticks. I use glass spray bottles so I just put it in one of those to solve that issue. Overall, definitely recommend!" —Joshua

Promising review: "This dust is the best seasoning in the world. I use it on everything. I actually use this to season pork — don’t knock it ’til you try it. It’s really good to put on ribs. You can put it on waffles. You can put it on cereal, you can put it on oatmeal, you name it." —Sarah N

If you're unfamiliar with the Otamatone, it's a Japanese musical toy shaped like an eighth note that sings when you squeeze it's mouth and touch its fretboard.

Promising review: "My kid loves the Otamatone. He already has an original one so I decided to get this keychain for Christmas. This one has 11 songs built in (original Otamatone doesn’t) and you can demo play all songs or you can play them by yourself (it plays songs and you control rhythms)." —M. BARE

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three colors). 

Promising review: "I had been eyeing these for months, and finally pulled the trigger. They go really well with athleisure, and can be dressed up with jeans/cute tops for work. I’ve gotten so many compliments!" —Tbailey

Get it from Anthropologie for $89.95 (originally $125; available in women's sizes 5–10).

Promising review: "YES. Got countless compliments on this and felt great all day! Love the sweater. It’s soft and roomy. No gaping between buttons. Very high-quality stitching and fabric! Have already sent the link to a coworker who was as obsessed as me!" —ersnyer

Aidille is a mom-owned small business that sells cute appliques and magnets. The name comes from the owner's two kids' names: Aidan + Camille = Aidille.

Promising review: "Amazing! Beautiful! And they are big magnets — they hold several cards or heavy items on a fridge. You know when a magnet is too small or not strong enough? Not these — they are strong!" —Stacey

Promising review: "These toy gems are so cute and colorful! 💎 You get a great variety of shapes and colors, and they really look like little treasures. They’re perfect for pretend play, treasure hunts, party favors, or even crafts. The kids absolutely loved them and stayed entertained for a long time. They’re lightweight but still feel sturdy enough for play. Definitely a great value for the amount you get! Would absolutely buy again. 👍✨" —jerri

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord says, "OK, I'm gonna get real here: I typically don't love pumpkin scents or anything that runs on the "sweeter" side. But this Pumpkin Chai body lotion is the holy grail of pumpkin scents. It is somehow rich, warm, and light at the same time, and so perfectly balanced that the sweetness feels more like a top note than an overwhelming one. It smells strangely nostalgic?? Like, it smells like autumn personified, if all the best, most delicious, most cozy parts of it got combined. I am so picky that I was expecting to tolerate this at best, but I am going to mourn it deeply when pumpkin season is over!! And as always, this stuff packs a hydrating punch. My knees were super raw and dry for reasons unknown, but after putting this on twice a day for three days, they're good as new, and I'm not randomly itching them anymore."

Promising review: "So totally awesome. 😬 I needed new Band-Aids — I’m always doing something ridiculous, and with these, so pretty. I have one cat who likes to let me know when she’s done with pets, and I have claw marks from her — not to mention my general clumsiness with gardening and cooking. Love them!!" —Mom the Handyman

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 35 patterns).

Promising review: "I got this hair tinsel to add a little extra fun to my hair (and let’s be honest, to match my 5-year-old’s glitter obsession), and I’m obsessed! It’s super easy to tie in, stays put really well, and catches the light just right — like I have fairy strands. It held up through brushing, a couple of ponytails, and even a light wash. So cute for parties, holidays, or just because you want to feel magical on a random Tuesday. Definitely recommend for both kids and grown-ups who want to sparkle!" —Liv

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four pack sizes and different tools). 

Just don't use these packets if you're planning on roasting food.

Promising review: Mystical Fire Colorant is amazing. For a really fun experience, get some of these for your next camping trip. As if a campfire needs improvement... but this stuff is really neat. I'd say the adults love it even more than the kids. We only used one packet, and the colors were so good — it seems like they lasted at least 20 minutes. There was even color left in the ashes the next day. We will never go camping again without several packs of Mystical Fire on hand." —TeNe

Trust me, it smells SO GOOD! And you can't beat the gorgeous label.

Promising review: "The perfect scent! I constantly light this in my bathroom in the morning to start my day. It's perfect — not overpowering, but just enough scent. Will be buying again!" —Amanda

Get it from Otherland for $20 (also available in a Pura refill).

Promising review: "If you’re looking for a beautiful wineglass that’s heavier than the normal this is for you. I love the weight and the look. I’m throwing out the thin and buying more of these!" —ladylucky08

Get a set of two from Amazon for $37.99.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I’ve received so many compliments already. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to add a chic accessory to their collection!" —Arsalan sheikh

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five styles and two packs). 

Promising review: "ADORABLE. I purchased these to wear to raves, and I get SO many compliments! They're glittery and appear delicate, but the clips are sturdy and don't move around. They do look almost like textured card stock paper with a print on it, but I love them. I also appreciate that the clips go in two directions, so it's easy to style. I'd buy these again and again!" —M 

Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 14 styles). 

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

Promising review: "I don’t know what it is about this fragrance but I love it so much!  It is unique for sure but it reminds me of summer days in a garage, which sounds weird, but that’s what it makes me think of. But then, as that begins to fade, it turns into a great, clean scent. It is the most unique perfume I own, and I own a lot of perfumes (over 100). Snif is an amazing brand!" —Jill T

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

Reviewers say the shimmer comes off easily in the shower, but to watch out for it transferring to clothing. 

Promising review: "This is a steal! Makes your body shimmer, but not extra. It has good coverage. The smell is subtle. Def recommend." —Jennefer

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

Dinghy is a mom-owned small business founded by Hillary Worden that sells handmade soap from Colorado. 

Promising reviews: "This bar soap is incredible. Doesn’t dry out my skin. I’m using it to clean my face morning and night. So happy I got a free sample at a festival booth. I immediately bought five boxes of soap. I’m sure my daughter will love it for baths, but honestly, it’s for me!" —PK

"What a great soap for kids, so much fun to have it float in the tub!!" —Kathy

Get it from Dinghy for $7.50 (available in nine scents). 

Reviewers say these run a little small. Check the size guide to find your perfect fit. 

Promising review: "These are really fun and really cute. They remind me of pants I had 40 years ago that I bought in Italy. They do have some stretch and are very comfortable. I may pick up in another color." —Kae

Get them from Amazon for $42.74 (available in sizes 2–14 and seven colors). 

Promising review: "I got this as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend, and it now lives on her desk at the nurses' station to amuse her and her coworkers on slow days or when they need a break from the seriousness of the hospital. Even the non-cat people loved it!" —Alex G. Gann

Promising review: "So cute and they work great! The light is the perfect brightness to see, but not too bright that it’s annoying in the middle of the night. Changing the colors is easy, and I like how it goes off when there’s enough light in the room." —Jas

Promising review: "Very simple and easy to put together, set up takes barely a minute. The solid color looks cute, fits a bubbly Y2K vibe. It's also surprisingly functional: The wire sides make it easy to decorate with things like clips or do some clean cable organization. The table as a whole isn't flimsy at all." —Lee
