Once you’re wrapped in this unspeakably gorgeous garden-themed blanket wearing your Band-Aids from The Met, you’re going to feel like the loveliest creature on earth.

As a Senior Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed, I specialize in a broad range of topics, including beauty, cleaning, fashion, personal care, home, fitness, and my beloved “TikTok made me buy it.” My work has been featured across lifestyle and writing publications during my ten years in the digital media space, including Bustle, HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and The Washington Post.

Check out a TikTok of The Met x Band-Aid collab in action. 

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 that 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

Check out a TikTok of the Sunkissed Poppy Hand Soap in action. 

I am so very in love with this dreamy, floral, slightly sweet soap that I refuse to stock my bathroom with anything else. It's so fresh and lovely without being overpowering and feels so nice on my skin. I have to wash my hands a lot because of NYC public transit and diaper changes, but my hands are never dry from using this. 

Promising review: "Beautiful and good quality. Dishwasher safe. Seems very durable." —Selene Di Battista 

Promising review: "Cute water bottle! I love the color and pictures! Perfect size!" —Scarlett

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three other styles). 

Promising review: "Look far more expensive than they are. Super chic, lightweight, and comfortable. They really look like high-quality earrings!" —Christine

"These earrings were fabulous, lightweight, and didn’t cause any irritation with my ears after wearing them for 6+ hours! Great price point and they stayed in great even through dancing the night away at a wedding!" —Samantha Jocelyn

Check out a TikTok of the Medicube Ribbon Cherry Hairbrush in action. 

Promising review: "This brush is great! It's very lightweight and easy to handle. I have fine and wavy hair, and this got all my tangles out with any real effort!!" —Beck

Promising reviews: "Attractive, handy, reasonably priced knife set. I’ve been using these knives for several months and find them to be sharp and rust-free. Also, the kitchen shears are handy and well-made. The set covers every knife I use regularly, and they’re comfortable to use. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟" —Jeamss

Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (also available in two other on-sale color palettes). 

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

Promising review: "I like a one-and-done nail product that will protect my fragile nails, but also stay put. I don’t baby my nails at all, so I like something that doesn’t show wear quickly. I’m not sure what’s in this one specifically, but it stays on so well. It’s also a nice micro shimmer/glitter. I’ve used a few other polishes from this brand, and while they are all nice, this is my favorite so far." —H. Peeples 

Promising review: "This mascara is amazing. I just repurchased it because I love it so dang much. It is lightweight and applies very easily. The burgundy is an absolutely stunning color and looks very natural. It doesn't clump up my lashes or make them fall like most mascaras I've tried, and my lashes look amazing. I wear it to work every day, and it still lasts me three months. I will never use another mascara." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in five colors). 

Promising review: "I really love this silicone drying mat. The size is perfect for my kitchen counter, and the wavy design not only looks cute but also helps keep dishes elevated so water can drain and air can flow underneath. The material feels thick and high quality, not flimsy at all. The design is honestly one of my favorite things about it. The wavy pattern looks so adorable, and the ivory color is beautiful, soft, and elegant. It matches my kitchen perfectly and makes my countertop look more organized and cozy. It’s also very easy to clean, just rinse it or wipe it down, and it looks new again." —Nutella Z 

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors). 

Promising review: "More beautiful than the photos show, if that's possible. I appreciate that it's reversible, as the two distinct colors make it seem like a totally different blanket. It's well constructed, soft, and warm enough to use to sleep with." —Fair Mona

Get it from Amazon for $39.22+ (available in five sizes and 20 styles). 

Promising review: "So comfortable and so, so cute! From a pajama lover — I think these might just be my new favorites. I’ve tried all brands (designer and otherwise) and these top my list without a doubt. The ruffles are such a cute touch! Highly recommend!" —Melissa 

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 15 colors). 

Promising review: "These bracelets are so cute and are a great accessory to my outfits. I get compliments on these bracelets all the time. They are also a really nice shade of gold. You can also adjust the size of all of the bracelets." —Alysia Moore

Get a set of 60 from Amazon for $13.98 (available in four styles and two other finishes). 

For those new to the concept — instead of adding the color to these, you add the lines to create images within the colors. Sort of like a Rorschach test, but make it whimsical. 

Check out a TikTok of the reverse coloring book in action. 

Promising review: "Kendra Norton’s beautiful art books, Reverse Coloring books, have changed my world! My whole life, I thought I was not creative and therefore had zero artistic ability. Now, this has become my favorite form of artistic expression. I turn on music and/or an audiobook and allow myself to go for an adventure outside of my mind, beyond my mind, if you will. This has become my favorite way to process through difficult emotions and experiences I’m working through." —K. DeWitt

(Psst — check out these cult-fave black fine point pens on Amazon for a good doodling option!) 

Promising review: "I recently purchased this watch and overall, I’m quite pleased with it. It has a very vintage look, which I really like; it definitely stands out in a subtle, classic way. The build quality feels solid and well-made, which was a pleasant surprise at this price point. One thing to note is the size: it’s very small, honestly, about the size of my thumb. But once I got used to it, I actually started to appreciate its dainty, understated look. The battery works perfectly so far, and it keeps time well. Overall, it's a charming little watch that feels like a hidden gem, especially if you're into vintage style and don’t mind a smaller size." —Rafat017 

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four finishes).

Promising review: "These bowls are exactly what I was looking for. They’re well-made, the perfect size for snacks, dips, or desserts, and the ceramic feels sturdy. The colors are nice, and they clean up easily. Great value for a set of six!" —James Jordan

Promising reviews: "Comfortable! Gorgeous! This fit great, and I received lots of compliments. The dress in person is a teal-ish emerald color with a darker version of the velvet pattern. The pictures made it look almost like black velvet; it's even prettier in person." —Online Shopper

"This dress is so comfortable! A very popular style for half the price. I would recommend. I bought it for a formal wedding." —David Precourt

Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in women's sizes S–4X, two fits, and 12 colors/styles).

Promising review: "Very cute. The coaster is big enough for a large mug; It’s thick enough to protect a wooden surface from a hot cup. The stitches are even and neat, and the colors are as pictured." —Yeater Family

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 28 styles and in two-packs). 

I had the opportunity to sample these before the launch, and they are every bit as delicious as they sound. The Leite Cafe adds such a rich, milky depth to the brand's usual sweet scents and smells like waking up on a sunny, lazy weekend morning. The Leite Nectar really surprised me, because I typically don't like sweeter scents, but the coconut milk scent balances it beautifully and makes it smell creamy and bright. On a more vain note, the bottles are simply gorgeous. I love beholding them. 

Get them from Amazon: Leite Cafe for $26 and Leite Nectar for $26

Promising review: "Very stylish statement shoes, good to wear formally or casually both. Very comfortable to walk or stand for long time. They give a good amount of height if needed." —Khanak Nangia

Get it from Amazon for $39.88 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and seven styles). 

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for over a year now and it’s been great! It’s super cute and does the job perfectly for espresso shots and milk frothing. It does feel a bit fragile, so I always hand-wash it instead of using the dishwasher — especially to protect the wooden handle from any wear. Still in great shape after regular use. Definitely a nice little accessory for any espresso setup!" —KP

Between my job on the shopping team at BuzzFeed and being a first-time mom, I have a LOT of packages to open, and very little time to do it while my creature "naps" (air quotes because naps clearly go against his baby religion). I am also very, VERY vain about my nails, so I refuse to open packages without some kind of blade. I ordered a pack of these a few years ago, and even though I have lost all but one of them (I am very disorganized, oops), it still performs as well as it did the day I bought it! It gives super clean cuts and gets packages open instantly, and automatically retracts when you're done, so you don't have to worry about putting it in a drawer. 

Promising review: "I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." —Amy Yasneski

Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories.

Promising review: "Crate & Barrel look for less. These look and feel very high end — almost like a thin crystal." —Lauren

Get a set of two from Amazon for $16.23 (available in three styles).

Promising review: "My lips get dry since I spend a lot of time hiking and outdoors, and this product works like a charm. It hydrates deeply, feels soothing, and lasts through the night. A little goes a long way, making it worth the price." —HB

Marée is a small business that specializes in beauty products. 

Promising review: "Gifted these masks to my sister-in-law, and she loved them. So I figured I’d try them too. What a difference in my skin. I like to leave all masks on a lot longer than most people or directions say. I let the mask gel absorb into my skin. So when I took it off, it was not wet anymore. I woke up the next day with a nice glow and dewy appearance. I will have to get more. I think it actually tightened my eyes and laugh lines, too. I love this product and will continue to buy it. Thank you, Marée!!" —Eugene Cecora 

Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95. 

Promising reviews: "I'm impressed with the quality of these pens. The 0.5mm fine point delivers a super smooth writing experience, and the ink dries quickly, leaving clean, neat lines. The barrel is also very comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. The retro colors are a stylish bonus. Highly recommend!" —Marie70

Get a set of five from Amazon for $6.79 (available in 12 styles and different pack sizes).

Check out a TikTok of the Paris Hilton heart-shaped ramekins in action. 

Promising review: "I'm in love, everything I eat out of them is more enjoyable because they are so cute. Also well packaged, arrived perfectly, and it's nice, heavy, and well-glazed stoneware. The nicest light pink color. To be aware, they are as wide as you'd expect but fairly shallow." —All 

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.39. 

Promising review: "These are amazing!!! Beautiful colors and the sparkle/shimmer is more than I imagined it would be. Mr Pen did it again! If you don’t have these pens, you need to get them!! Great addition to my journaling supplies!" —FBJH12

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $5.99 (available in four color sets).

Promising review: "This book is a fantastic way to dig deeper without having any worries of being judged. It's a book you can vent to, be 100% honest with, and find out more about yourself. I love it and need more books like it!" —Amazon Customer

Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. 

Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year, and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get-togethers with friends, and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack, but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $22.91 (available in two colors). 

Febu is a small business that specializes in earth-friendly, non-toxic home products. 

Promising review: "I love these! I have used these for years instead of a sponge or a dishrag. They hold up great, mop up crumbs and spills quickly, can be popped in the dishwasher to clean, and bring a bit of color to the sink area in my otherwise neutral kitchen." —Wynnefred

Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.95 (available in 14 very pretty sets). 

Check out a TikTok of the mushroom night-light in action. 

Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

If you're looking for a base for these, a lot of people use mini plant propagation vases and floral essential oils for diffusing!

Promising review: "I love that the diffuser sticks have the flowers, it gives a totally different look. You would not think that they are what’s giving my office the relaxing scent it has. Very decorative!" —Khia Phifer

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