Yeah, I’m gonna need those lobster sandals ASAP.

I'm Amanda Davis (she/her), a Shopping & Products Editor at BuzzFeed who specializes in many topics, including beauty, fashion, home decor, and my personal favorite — small businesses.

The world is weird right now, so who could blame you for wanting to treat yourself to something that'll make you feel even a little bit better? Whether it be the ridiculous (yet fantastic) snack that is a pickle puff ball, a cozy loungewear set you can sit in all day long, or the Laniege lip mask you've been eyeing for months but still haven't tried yet. Well, take this as your sign to try 'em all! You deserve it 😌.

Promising reviews: "I really love this coffee mug! The hand-painted striped design is beautiful and gives it a unique, high-quality look. It's the perfect size for coffee, tea, or other hot drinks, and it feels sturdy and comfortable to hold. The colors and finish are exactly as pictured, and it has held up well with regular use. Overall, it's a great mug that looks great and works perfectly." —JKPrince

Price: $9.99+ (available in three colors)

P.S. They come with a pack of stickers, too!

Promising reviews: "Oh these lip balms are the most moisturizing and best smelling lip balms I’ve ever used! I really enjoy using Eos lip balms, but specifically these ones because they smell like the perfect salted caramel vanilla milkshake you got at a diner. Perfect during the colder seasons, fits the vibe." —Ceevee

"The Eos Flavor Lab Secret Menu Lip Balm Gift Set - 'Nilla Milkshake, Limited-Edition is so cute and smells absolutely delicious! The formula is super smooth and hydrating, and the scent really does remind me of a vanilla milkshake. Perfect as a gift or a little treat for yourself." —Karen Lizette

Price: $11.50 for four (also available in Sunrise Smoothie and Tropical Chiller)

Promising reviews: "I get chapped lips easily and have tried so many products that claim to soften your lips but they just don't. They'll feel soft when the product is first applied but as it wears, the roughness comes back. This keeps the skin soft as claimed. The applicator makes it easy to use just the little at a time you need. It goes on easily and sinks in without feeling sticky or greasy. While first applied it does give your lips that soft glistening look as shown in many photos here. That does wear away as the product is absorbed, but you are left with soft lips.

"I did get the gummy bear scent, and I love it. It actually gave me the immediate memory of the Spree red candy hearts I used to love as soon as I smelled it. :) Very yummy to smell, doesn't taste, and the scent isn't strong, nor do you continue to smell it while wearing the product. So glad I went ahead and tried this...it's a winner!" —SSbuni

And BTW, Sister.ly Drinkware is a Black-owned small business!

Promising reviews: "These are definitely more impressive than what you see online. I bought them as a gift, but I will be buying a set for myself. They are well-made, large, and aesthetically pleasing. I packed them in my checked luggage to bring across the country as a gift. I figured 50% chance they make it, and they did. Very well packaged." —Tracy P.

"These are unusual and beautiful, and everyone loves them. They also hold a good-sized martini!" —RedPen

Price: $45.99 for two (available in two other styles)

Promising review: "This beautiful, chunky knit vest does not disappoint. The knit fabric is not skimpy. It's thick, warm, and high quality. The green color I ordered is a lovely, bright olive... I like the big statement buttons that are shiny gold, which works for me; it makes it look distinctive and stylish, not your run-of-the-mill vest with ordinary plastic buttons... This vest is much nicer than I expected for the price."  —Amazon Customer

Price: $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–L and in 10 colors)

Promising review: "SUPER freakin cute. Love these, not too heavy. Perfect pair to complete the look." —Chartell Brown

"Cute novelty earrings. These were purchased as a gift, though I contemplated keeping them for myself! Too cute, not overly huge, sparkle and dangle. Fun earrings." —Amazon Customer

Price: $48 (also available as dirty martinirs, Aperol Spritzes, wine, and more) 

Promising review: "You want to romanticize your day? Sprinkle this crunchy goodness on your whipped cream-topped iced coffee or hot cocoa! It shakes easily out of the little container or dump it into your favorite kitchen trinket dish! My son even sprinkles a bit on his oatmeal! I love adding little extras to my routine during the holidays for a special treat. This is perfect!" —Meredith Snedeker

Price: $6.49 (also available as a two-pack)

This set includes a powder brush, an angled contour brush, a blush brush, a flat foundation brush, a concealer brush, three eye shadow brushes, a detail brush, and a lip brush.

Promising review: "Good quality brushes. I like the way these are able to be held. The weight is perfect. I like the variety of the brushes. I like the way the bristles feel and the quality of the brushes. And they're pretty to look at." —Gayl Henkel

Price: $9.99+ for a set of 10 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "The colors were great and the thickness of the drips made for a great looking candle. Great value for the money spent." —@kryder66

Price: $13.95 (available in 13 colors and in two variety packs)

Promising review: "This thing is incredible. I just mix up a batch of waffle batter and keep it in the fridge, and in the morning, I plug this in while pouring my coffee. It reaches temp in about a minute, and then I'll pour in the batter, and the waffle is done about another minute later." —Rick

Price: $19.99 (available in eight styles)

Promising review: "How silly can one pair of flip-flops get? Pretty silly, it turns out. And in a really good way.

I bought these for my shy and retiring Lady Love because she needed something to wear at the pool. They were an instant hit. She gets comments and offers of marriage every time she struts down the pool ramp. It's wonderful! Even the grumpy old folks at the pool have to smile when she walks by.

And they're well-made, sturdy footwear to boot. My girl's biggest concern is making sure some fan doesn't walk off with them while she's underwater. She's considering a bike lock... Seriously. These shoes are a bundle of laughs wrapped up in a decent pair of flip-flops. They're keepers... until somebody can't resist and slips away with them." —Ron

Price: $19.99 (available in women's sizes 3–14, men's sizes 2–12.5, three lobster colors, and two additional styles)

Promising reviews: "WOW! These are the prettiest, most unique, great-smelling soaps I've ever bought! I got one for my mom, one for my in-law, and one for myself. No regrets." —Jeanette

"Smells are luxurious, cleans well, and nothing irritating in the ingredients. Moms, sisters, and besties would love this gift. Nice storage tin." —C. Reum

Price: $39.99 for eight sample-sized bars

Promising review: "I can definitely see why this fragrance is so popular. The scent is warm, sweet, and tropical without being overpowering. It has a fresh vibe that's perfect for everyday wear, and I've received several compliments while wearing it. I like that it's versatile enough to use on both my hair and body. The mist is light, easy to apply, and leaves a pleasant fragrance that lasts much longer than I expected for a body spray. The bottle is also a nice size and feels well-made. If you're looking for a fun, long-lasting fragrance that's perfect for any season, this is an excellent choice. I'd definitely purchase it again. —Samantha G.

Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in two sizes and 10 other scents).

Promising review: "Bought these for my daughter, and she completely adores them. They are made well. We will be playing around with hairstyles here soon. They are exactly as described and hold up pretty well so far." —Lotus808

One reviewer said, "Moo-ve over sweater competition!" and I felt it was an obligation to share that with the world.

Promising review: "Basically perfect. The sweater's design is beautiful, and the materials are very soft and thick, definitely has some weight to it folded up, and it makes it feel very nice and high quality. It can get fuzzy but, fortunately, doesn’t fall off and get everywhere, so it looks great. Keeps you pretty warm and [very] comfortable, and it’s a bit oversized, which is great!" —Erik

Price: $46.99 (available in men's sizes XS–XXL and in six styles)

I own these highlighters (this color variation, specifically) and absolutely love them! They don't bleed and make annotating and staying organized much more enjoyable.

Promising review: "I’m such a fan of Mr. Pen products, and these highlighters are at the top of my list! I have bought several packs over the last year because I use them so much that I go through a pack pretty quickly. I mainly use them for Bible highlighting and in my planner and on my calendar to color-code various appointments and events...The colors are stunning!...The pastels and lighter colors did not bleed through at all...I will continue to buy these over and over again every time I run out because no other highlighters have met my standards like these." —jbk

Price: Amazon for $6.99+ for eight(available in various color sets and pack sizes)

Promising review: "Tried these Vlasic Pickle Balls for the first time on a boat day with friends, and they were a huge hit! The dill pickle flavor is bold, crunchy, and [I'm obsessed]. Everyone kept reaching for more—definitely a crowd-pleaser. Perfect for snacking in the sun with something salty and tangy. Will absolutely be grabbing these again for our next outing!" —Jasmine L.

Price: $3.26 for one or $7.63 for three bags

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Price: $39.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 styles)

Price: $9.99 (available in three styles)

Promising review: "I’m really impressed with the quality of this spinner ring! It spins smoothly and effortlessly, which makes it super satisfying to fidget with. The fit is perfect, true to size, and feels really comfortable on my finger. I also love the moon and stars pattern; it adds a unique and stylish touch that makes the ring stand out. Overall, it’s a great combination of function and design. Definitely one of my favorite rings now!" —Christina Arimboanga

Price: $8.99 (available in five sizes and 12 styles)

Promising review: "Love this Warm Vanilla scent! Warming fragrance lingers even as it dissolves well in the bathtub. When I looked at the fragrance components, I was doubtful I would like it, but the combination does impart a warm vanilla scent." —Erma

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

Promising review: "These are super comfortable and true to size. The pumpkin image on them is adorable. I didn't have high expectations for these slippers, honestly, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I got them and found they are actually very high quality. The bottoms are a very lightweight, fully flexible rubber-type material." —Jackie Anne

Price: $9.49+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–11.5 and eight styles)

Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light (but it's not too bright. I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed, and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycles). Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —Amazon customer

Price: $13.99+ (available in three colors)

This wearable blanket comes from The Comfy Store, a small biz that was featured on Shark Tank!

Promising reviews: "This is the softest thing I have ever put on! It is perfect for lazy nights in eating ice cream in bed or even sitting on your porch on a cool morning drinking coffee! I am in college and you bet your butt I’m wearing this to class in the winter! I’m obsessed and will be gifting these to all my friends this Christmas! Amazing for the price too, totally worth it!" —Caroline Dudley

"Are you a large person who’s always cold? LOOK NO FURTHER, my fellow giants. I am 6' and this blessed cloth of heavenly fluff nearly hits my knees!!

Price: $13.99+ (available in 15+ colors)

Promising reviews: "It was a game-changer after I bought this. Every night I come back after a stressful day of work, I pop one of these shower streamers, and I feel relaxed. The scent is nice; it was not too strong, where it would be too overwhelming, or too light in the scent. Overall, I would recommend this product." —Brandon C.

"Tablets last up to 20 minutes in the shower and give off a relaxing smell. Don’t know if it’s because of the smell or the combination of hot water, but I seem to sleep a lot better at night, especially after a long day." —ohalicemalice

Promising review: "They were easy to assemble, come with lots of extra stem pieces so you can make the stem longer or shorter, they look great and last forever!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $9.99 (available in four additional colors)

Promising review: "I bought this as a surprise for my significant other, and he LOVED it!

Everything fit perfectly, and the socks in the pizza box looked exactly like what was expected! Thanks so much!" —Logan

Price: $17.99 (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "I absolutely love these fuzzy pajamas! They are true to size and fit perfectly. The material is incredibly soft and warm, making them perfect for chilly nights. The fabric feels luxurious against the skin, and I love how comfy they are for lounging around the house. They’re also not too thick or heavy, so you can wear them without feeling bulky. I’ve been wearing them non-stop since they arrived and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something cozy and comfortable!" —Denise

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because I knew my boyfriend would laugh and appreciate the heck out of it...My boyfriend plays video games and has a fair share of Cowboy Bebop figurines, so when I saw it, I knew he'd get a kick out of it. 11/10 would buy it again just for another chance to see his reaction. And honestly, it looks great [and] transformed a boring white fridge we paid no mind to to a clever and cute conversation piece that ~also~ serves a function." —Olivia
