You have no idea how happy a croissant-shaped throw pillow will make you until you’re gazing at it adoringly on your couch.

I am a writer and editor based in Washington, DC whose work has appeared at Bustle, The Toast, and others; my book Dangerous Games to Play in the Dark was published in 2019.

Promising review: “I love this so much! I saw this on TikTok, went ahead and bought it! I love this vase so much — it’s so beautiful and it looks great in my space! It's a great piece to have no matter what the style is, tbh.” —Shinryu

Promising review: “As with so many things Anthro — these are perfect! Love the retro vibe. Takes me back to ice cream filled days of childhood.” —SelenaC

Promising review: “Adorable retro speaker with great sound! This speaker is absolutely adorable and looks even cuter in person. The retro vintage design makes it a really fun decor piece for a desk, bedroom, kitchen, or office while still actually working well as a speaker. Overall, this is such a cute and functional little speaker that makes a great gift or decor piece while still being practical for everyday use.” —Amanda

I have this book. It sits on my coffee table. I love it. Visitors love it. Everyone loves it. It is equal parts hilarious and informative, whether you are an avid birder or have zero interest in birding as a hobby.

Promising review: “I ordered this some months ago after reading a review, less because I planned to read it and more because I loved the concept and knew that a title like that belonged in my collection. But it found its way into my bathroom, making it inevitable that I would sooner or later crack it. Indeed, crack it I just did and — know what? — it is danged clever and HILARIOUS. Highly recommended.” —Steve Cuno

Promising review: “This is so adorable! I bought this and another one for my two cats, and they are so perfect! I got them a bit bigger than what I needed, but they are so cute, I don’t even care. Easy to put on, and they are lightweight. The cats tolerate them, but that’s on them. These are great!” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: “Lovely addition to my office! I was surprised at the nice quality of the throw. I have it over the arm of my chair at a table in my office and it does look like a bouquet of flowers! It is great to put in your lap during Zoom calls. Many compliments on the product. I would purchase again but this time as a gift.” —Barb

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

Promising review: “Adorable multipurpose socks! Love these socks, the subtle ruffle detail is just perfect. They are super soft, comfortable and work great for the gym or kicking around with your favorite sneakers. Buy a second pair, they’re really that good.” —mojave mama

Get them from Free People for $18 per pair (available in four colors).

Pro tip: Reviewers say you’ll probably want to handwash these, just to be on the safe side.

Promising review: “Love love love! I get so many compliments on these glasses. I am one of those women who has a huge collection of glasses, but these by far get the most attention. My mother used them for water glasses when she came to visit. Best purchase ever.” —Kindle Customer

Promising review: “BEST PURCHASE EVER! Omg, this is probably the best northern lights projector/mimic ever!!! Absolutely worth the money and such great value for the price.

It has many features, including four light modes, stars or no stars, adjustable movement speed, and Bluetooth connection to a phone. The remote work really works well, and the timer options for one or two hours are super convenient. You can also control the music volume through it.” —Vedant Sanil

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: “Best mug in the cupboard! This is the coolest mug I’ve ever seen. It’s the prettiest shades of blue, it’s smooth, and the attention to detail is top tier. I love Obi Wan and Qui Gon swimming to the Gungan city and also their duel with Darth Maul. The queen Amidala is beautiful as well. This is the rare occasion that yes, $30 is worth a mug.” —Sick Naboo Mug

Get it from the Disney Store for $24.99.

The Lego Minifigure Factory lets you customize everything from your head type to accessories, so you can, y'know, make yourself wearing your favorite pair of specs and hanging out with your cat if you want. (Why yes, I am currently wearing my favorite pair of specs and hanging out with my cat, just like my little mini LEGO self; why do you ask?)

Promising review: “My favorite cup! I love the cherry print on this tumbler! It’s so fun and colorful, and the 40-ounce size is perfect. My favorite feature is the lid lock, which has helped prevent spills many times. I love this cup so much that I’ve purchased it five times to give as gifts! I also have many Corkcicles in this print because it’s so pretty!” —Abby

Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $50 (available in seven designs).

Promising review: “One of my favorite pillows! LOVE this pillow! It's so soft to the touch and so comfy to squeeze. I didn't love the price, thought it was $10 less than what it actually was, but I don't regret my purchase! It's a one-of-a-kind item.” —anonymous

Promising review: “Magnificent monarch! Elated with my purchase! This hair clip is stunning and it holds my wavy, fine hair in place without having to pull it tight. I have purchased many hair clips, but Solar Eclipse is the best by far. I have sought them out directly for more and the collections are sooooo beautiful. Thank you for such a great product.” —Llaya

“Well made, really beautiful and strong. My daughter has tons of thick hair and this clip holds up wonderfully and is comfortable to boot! Highly recommend!” —Emilia

Get it from Nordstrom for $28 (available in four colors).

Promising review: “Great little waffle maker. This cute little guy makes perfect little waffles for breakfast, or anytime snack. Its nonstick and makes delicious waffles fast and easy. It’s very sturdy and inexpensive. I love this machine and you will, too!” —rosa

Promising review: “Best candle EVER! I have never gotten a candle that smelled so good. I highly recommend it!” —Phyl

Promising review: “Leaves my skin so glowy! My go-to mask for a pick-me-up.” —bobs96

Get it from Sephora for $6 (available in six varieties).

Promising review: “Look, I’m a fragrance snob — I admit it. My little sister was wearing this, and I needed to understand why she smelled so good. The smell is so familiar and nostalgic, like homemade baked cookies, slightly melting vanilla ice cream, and the fur of adorable kittens. I don’t understand why I enjoy this so much. For godsake, it's a Squishmallows scent marketed towards tweens and I'm wearing this in biglaw boardrooms trying to extract the blood of my enemies. People sweat heavily during stressful depositions, trust me. If you want something to soothe your nerves during battle… something that reminds you of both your youth and humanity…get it.” —MissyNYC

Get it from Ulta for $25+ (available in three sizes; also available in Pink Possibilities and Moonlit Mist scents).

Promising review: “Cute and relatable! This is the second set of these books I bought because everyone loved my set so much, I got another to share! The paper is high quality and the designs are perfect! Everyone that sees them chuckles! Highly recommend as an alternative in your coloring routine!” —Amazon Customer
