Guilty as charged, re: this Snoopy palm pal and Band-Aids from The Met.

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.

Promising review: "Amazing! These puzzles are so fun. It’s nice that they start easy and get harder, so you can get used to the format first, then continue to be challenged as you learn how they work. Fun, visually appealing, and sprinkled with humor. I finished this one in about 1.5 months (of fairly dedicated work) and ordered Volume 2 before I was even done with the first one. It’s a higher price point than many puzzle books, but you get high quality for what you pay." —EN

The best part?? Once you finish this version of "Murdling," you can try a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books!

Get it from Amazon for $11.54 (and check out Volume 2 and Volume 3 if you're in the mood for more murrrrderrr).

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

Promising review: "I love this! It’s well-painted, and the solar light works great. It is the cutest thing on my patio table." —solowithpits 

Get it from Amazon for $19.76 (available in two other styles). 

Promising review: "It is so cute. Lego always impresses me with the quality of its builds. I have the blue and yellow plant friends; it’s fun to have the matching pair of green and pink. It was a quick build. I like having it on my coffee table for guests or myself to fidget with, because they both rock — one goes side to side, and the other is front/back." —Julie

Promising review: "I like this far better than I ever thought I would. Perfect for my glass coffee mugs. Cute too!" —Karen Henry

Promising review: "Once you solve this puzzle, you will never want a different puzzle… THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!" —Cindy Loo

Promising review: "Oh. My. Gosh. He is so cute!!! Absolutely adorable present for anyone who likes Snoopy and stuffed animals. Super soft fabric, not heavy, small for display, and just criminally cute." —Alexa

Promising review: "I bought all the bouquet sets to make with my daughter and son's girlfriend. We had so much fun making these and the quality was amazing. Even came with a vase to place them. Will definitely be buying the other sets I've seen out. You won't be disappointed buying these." —Angela

Get it from Amazon for $39.97 (available in two sets). 

Promising review: "So so cute! Perfect as a night-light or decorative touch. It has two different light modes. It's small and easy to use. Bonus that it's dimmable in both modes. I was planning to give it as a gift, but it was too cute. I kept one and bought a second as a gift. Absolutely love. ❤️" —julie guleff

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six styles). 

Promising review: "I was so excited to try this, I sprinkled some on vanilla ice cream, and then the next morning on toast, and then finally on store-bought croissants. Good flavor, feels like a custom finishing sugar. Hard not to put it on everything." —AA

Check out a TikTok of the 3D sticker book in action. 

Promising review: "This sticker scene was so much fun to put together and surprisingly relaxing. It kept me entertained and gave me a nice break from constantly scrolling on my phone. The stickers are cute, the scenes are enjoyable to create, and it feels rewarding to see everything come together. If you’re looking for a simple hobby that helps you unwind and stay off social media for a bit, I highly recommend giving this a try!" —Michico 

I am in LOVE with this new gingerbread version!!! It smells SO cozy and has the perfect blend of sweet with a hint of warm spice. It's such a treat to put it on at the end of the day and go to bed tasting like a whole holiday. My lips are always kind of raw and dry by the end of the night (the fact that I salt half my desserts probably doesn't help), but I get instant relief from this the same way I do with all Laneige Lip Sleep Masks, and my lips feel nice and hydrated in the morning. 

Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action. (Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE, some of you are WILD.) 

Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. 

Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I’m happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." —nancy

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $11.99. 

Promising review: "SUCH a great introduction to color by numbers! Lots of cozy, peaceful scenes to pick from, and the book size is great for carrying around with you. All you need is a small packet of Artistro black acrylic markers, and you're set! They don't bleed through either, thanks to the thick, one-sided paper. It's also super fun to slowly reveal the whole picture by coloring in only the areas with the 'O.' I can't wait to work through this one and invest in more of these books! Well worth the money if you want a relaxing new hobby!" —Sabrina

As a '90s baby with a deeply rooted love for Polly Pocket, I was so excited to try these! I am not a big fan of sweet scents, so I was expecting to enjoy these just for the cutesy-ness of it all, but I should have trusted Dossier — these are all very elevated and last a long while without ever being overpowering. I expected to like Berry Daydream the least and ended up loving it the most. There is something very nostalgic about the subtle strawberry and bright floral scent that makes me feel very sunshine-y whenever I wear it, which I think is exactly what Polly herself would want. 

Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in three scents). 

Promising review: "This lotion smells so good! It truly gives me confetti cake vibes with vanilla icing on top. I was hesitant to buy this lotion because I am usually an EOS girl, but I couldn't resist trying this confetti cake scent. I am very impressed with this lotion. It is moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy. The formula is thick and creamy, which makes application a breeze. Jergens needs to reconsider making this a permanent scent! It has made me want to try the other Jergens scents." —amber

The inflatable tube guy requires a 9V battery, which is not included. 

Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark

Get it from Amazon for $9.33 (psst — this comes in a ghost form now, too!) 

Promising review: "Worked fantastically. My wife had doubts about how egregiously dirty and caked-on the gunk in our 15-year-old microwave was (she thought we'd need serious chemicals!), but with only one pass of using this, it got 80% of all the gunk built up. A second pass, a few days later, got most of the rest!" —Some Hyena

The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel.

Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

Psst — you can snag a Bob Ross color-by-number coloring book on Amazon, too! 

Promising review: "I have bought these over and over again for gifts. My own children have played with these balls repeatedly. We even left one on the ceiling to see how long it would stay for. It lasted four months before we decided to take it down. Since they are so sticky, they get dirty pretty quickly. All you have to do is a quick rinse in the sink and an air dry, then you are good to go. Great for adults and children! Will be buying again." —Valerie Young

Get a set of six from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a pack of 16). 

Promising review: "These pet-safe paints remind us a bit of oil pastels — soft, colorful, and surprisingly easy to work with. Our little girl didn’t mind one bit; she sat like a pampered princess while we tested out a few shades. We’re still waiting to see how long the colors last and how easily they wash out, but for a first try, they were fun, gentle, and totally beginner‑friendly. A cute way to add a little flair without any fuss." —Shopping 4 Bargains

"These are so fun and easy to use! I imagine applying them to longer coats would be more challenging, but they worked like a charm on the boxers' white fur. The colors gradually fade, but I haven't noticed any stains on furniture or anything." —S. J. 

Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $16.99. 

Promising review: "I got this for my school social work office, and it's been a hit from day one. Kids are always reaching for it when they come in, and it's popular with my K-1 students as well as coworkers! It's a fun way to keep hands busy while we talk, and I've noticed it helps some students relax and settle in. It's simple, well-made, and has held up really well with lots of use. The key — it is easy to clean! This has definitely become one of the favorite fidgets in my office. If you work with kids or just want a fun sensory activity, I'd definitely recommend it." —kwb

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles and two sizes). 

Promising review: "Super cute and great quality. Holding up well so far." —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.11 (available in six other designs).  

Promising review: "This retro gumball machine is an absolute delight! It has that classic old-school look that instantly adds charm and personality to the room. The colors are vibrant, the globe is clear and sturdy, and the metal base gives it a solid, well-made feel. It works smoothly, dispenses gumballs perfectly, and is fun for both kids and adults. Whether used as decor or for actual gumball duty, it’s a fantastic conversation piece. If you love retro style and a touch of nostalgia, this gumball machine is a must-have. Highly recommend! 🍬" —Debra

Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in four colors).

BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly tried the sugar-free Ring Pop flavor and says, "It truly does taste so much like my childhood candy aisle fave that it's a little spooky (in a good way)." 

Promising review (for Firecracker Popsicle): "Liquid I.V. does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let’s talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn’t either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn’t stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" —Disney Diva

Get them from Amazon: $22.66 for 16 packets of Firecracker Popsicle and $21.84 for Ring Pop. 

I got to try these when they came out, and it's SPOOKY how much they taste like the actual desserts — especially the chocolate one. It felt just like breaking into an actual pudding cup. There isn't much of a tint to any of them, but the gloss is non-sticky and feels very hydrating over a colorful lippie. If you're not into super-sweet flavors, this probably isn't for you, but if you're looking for some fun little retro goodies and a pop of color that will make you smile when you see it in your bag, treat yourself. 

Promising review: "We are obsessed with our butter boot! Our grown kids are all getting one for Christmas — going to wrap in a red bandana and tie with twine to keep the theme alive! Get one- your corn on the cob will thank you!" —suzhasbighair

Promising review: "Adorable heart shape. Takes a little longer to cook since it's so thick. It's adorable for making a soup or pasta dish for the kids on Valentine's Day, or to just show love to your partner. Good quality that you'd expect from Barilla. Everyone thought it was adorable and enjoyed it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought one of these many years ago and love mine. I just bought this one for a friend as a gift. She loves it! This item is of great quality. Perfect size to do quick, creative work. This board helps a person come into the present. Let the world melt away while they use it. Before you know it, time has slipped by, and the calm has set in. It may be perfect at the office! Definitely would have people stopping by to chill for a minute! (Just a thought.) I would imagine this would be calming for kids, too! Get one for yourself. Leave the world behind." —ClearlyLiving

Promising review: "This CD player is excellent; I can take it anywhere, it has Bluetooth connectivity, and the audio quality is very good!" —Gabriel

Get it from Amazon for $74.95 (available in six colors).  

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Check out a TikTok of the Disney x Touchland Power Mist in action. 

Promising review: "The perfect accessory for my last Disney trip. Not only is it adorable and add a bit of that Mickey flair, it is reusable (so I can just pop in another one of my favorite Touchland hand sanitizers), the initial spray is delightful and fresh, and the little key ring allows me to attach it right to my park bag, providing a simple ease and access to spray our hands after each ride around the parks. Super cute and highly recommended!" —Shelby Piper

Get it from Amazon for $20 (and check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). 

Promising review: "These are so freaking good! I really wish I had gotten more than one, or they came in a bigger bag, because oh my gosh! If you're questioning whether to get these or not to get them, and you like dill pickle flavored stuff, I would say get more than one!" —Felicia

Get it from Amazon for $3.97 (also available in five other flavors like apple cider donut and rosemary sea salt, plus multipacks). 

Promising review: "This is such an amazing creation. You can tell the illustrator put in SO MUCH WORK into researching the Tay universe and capturing absolutely every detail possible of her entire career. I gasped at the, 'No, it's Becky' reference! A job very well done. I am so happy I purchased this!!" —Alexia Pitman

Promising review: "Honestly, I saw this tarot deck and thought I needed this for ha ha’s. But man. This deck’s images are hilarious. It’s so much fun, and I felt so drawn to it as soon as it was in my hands. I am smitten over these kittens. 😍 10000% worth the purchase!" —Kathryn Prouty

Promising review: "This mug is toooo cute! Perfect for your Sunday coffee time. The best thing it is dishwasher safe as well." —Riya Singla

Get it from Amazon for $14.56 (available in three styles). 

Promising review: "It's so cute!!! I've ended up using it so much since getting it, there are plenty of times I've avoided using my regular grater but didn't because box graters are so hard to clean. This one makes it so much simpler, and it goes perfectly with our DND-ish themed home!" —Natalie
