Promising review: "My boyfriend got these for me for my birthday and I am obsessed with them. The only wine glasses we use! The colors absolutely mesmerized us both when I opened the package…felt like we were looking at a rainbow. They are beautiful to say the least!" —bai

Get a set of six from Amazon for $49.99 (also available in a stemless style).

Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."

Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Taylor Steele has to say about the Always Pan: "As someone who neither enjoys cooking nor is particularly good at it, I find that the Always Pan has made being in the kitchen feel like less of a chore. Having one pan that can do everything means I don't have to second-guess every cooking decision I make. I can boil and prepare pasta in it. And I can roast Brussels sprouts. And I can make the perfect fried egg. And I can steam dumplings. The best part is that everything slides so seamlessly out of the pan and onto the plate, which also makes clean up super fast and easy. Both the amateur (read: reluctant) cook and the more seasoned chef will enjoy creating fan favorites and new recipes in the Always Pan!"

Also, BuzzFeeders LOVE this pan. Here's our Always Pan review, in which seven members of our team weigh in everything they love about it, from the nonstick coating to the versatility to the ~aesthetic~.

One side is faux fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.

Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK

Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.

Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch satin pillowcase in action.

Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much more prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" —Amazon Customer 🌷

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and in 16 styles).

Promising review: "Awesome little thing. Guests are immediately interested in it. If they are intoxicated, they are afraid that sorcery may be involved. I'm not sure how to convince them otherwise." —Nick E

Get it from Amazon for $65 (available in two finishes).

Promising review: "This kettle is, quite simply, as beautiful as it is functional. Unlike other kettles, this is slender, low profile, and elegant. It is electric, rather than induction, which is fine by me. It's better than I imagined. It looks so at home on my countertop! I am amazed at how quickly it heats water to 92° C — less than a minute!! The counterbalanced handle ensures a slow, even pour. It's quite heavier than my stovetop kettle. And I no longer have to keep my other hand on the top. In conclusion, this kettle is more than a kettle, it's a piece of furniture. Simple, elegant, functional." —MJV

Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app.

Promising review: "I was so hesitant to spend $130 on this but nothing else really seemed to come close. I have to wake up at 5 a.m. for work and it’s so difficult in the colder months when it’s pitch black out. This is one of the nicest investments I’ve made for my sleep. Not only is it a very cool lamp and sound machine, but the sunrise and sunset features are just amazing. Really makes me feel so relaxed! So, if you’re thinking about buying this, I recommend!" —Brittanypetronella

Get it from Amazon for $129.99.

Promising review: "This was a perfect purse for traveling. It has three very spacious zippered pockets. I was able to carry my iPhone, AirPods, glasses (in their case), and mini coin purse that carries my cash, ID, and bank card. I loved that it had a long-enough strap to wear it like a crossbody bag. Good construction and material." —M. Steffes

Get it from Amazon for $35.20 (available in 14 colors).

Silk + Sonder is a small business founded by Meha Agrawal, a former software engineer who developed the planners as a way for people to stay emotionally and mentally connected with themselves through self-guided structure and creativity.

Promising review: "I started S+S to try and get my anxiety and depression better managed. I was struggling with a pretty bad depression period and wanted to be more proactive. It has kept me accountable and given me a mindfulness outlet which was much needed. I noticed a big change even just in the first week of having my first journal. Now, I am going to stick with it for a while longer! LOVE my Silk + Sonder Journals!" —Lindsey S.

Get it from Silk + Sonder at $24.95/month.

Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" —Jenna

Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee

Check out a TikTok of the bowls in action.

Promising review: "These are awesome! Perfect thickness (not too thin and not too thick). I love the wavy appearance. Matte black has a sort of sheen to it and it's just lovely. These look amazing on my open shelving in my black walnut kitchen. They are LARGE, too. Awesome pasta/salad plates." —C. Mah

Get a set of four from Amazon for $25.53+ (available in three colors and two sets).

The jars are also microwave- and dishwasher-safe.

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says, "Before working from home became the norm, I would use these handy jars to bring my lunch almost every day. They're perfect for things like fruit, salad, or something saucy — stuff you really don't want to get squished *and* want to ensure doesn't leak into your bag. *But* I have found that I use them just as much at home full-time! They are of course great for leftovers, but also for prepped ingredients for the week. Shedded cheese, prepped chicken, and chopped veggies usually live in these, ready to be utilized for a quick lunch or snack. They clean *super* well — I even have the cream color and it recovered from storing beets! 10/10 from me."

Get them from Amazon for $25+ each (available in two sizes and seven colors).

Promising review: "Beautiful and functional. I got the larger version, in store, then had to have the smaller one, too. I put succulent soil in the large, and added a Snow White waffle plant. I rested my xerographica air plant on the small one, until it gets too big. She’s so cute, I’ll probably leave her empty. I absolutely love them!" —S Malcom

Get it from Anthropologie for $26.40 (also available in a smaller size).

Promising review: "Regardless of age and/or relationship status I am always a Barbie girl. And to know there is stemware that can embody my passion, I’m in. Get these before they are gone. Drinking has never been more magnificent! I feel so chic and fabulous!!!" —Snowhite26

Reviewers and the site suggest ordering a size up!

Promising review: "These are absolutely the perfect shoes! They are the loafer look of the season, but not in your typical run-of-the-mill, age-old look. These shoes are stylish and stunning, but in an understated, fabulous way. These are the new 'classic.' The leather is gorgeous and the fit is totally amazing! I plan on getting a lot of wear out of these shoes as well as a ton of compliments!!" —Irene W.

Mondo Bellissimo is a Vietnam-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in custom-made linen clothing and accessories.

Promising review: "Love this top. It's well-made and looks like it should last well. Great quality for the price. The linen isn't transparent at all! It fits perfectly. Will definitely order from this shop again, possibly even more of this top in other colors." —Michelle Goldsmith

Get it from Mondo Bellissimo on Etsy for $84.91+ (originally $121.31+; available in women's sizes S–XXXL as well as custom measurements, and 35 colors).

Promising review: "This first caught my eyes when I saw how chic and cute it is. Then I found out it actually help sanitize makeup brushes! I wear makeup regularly, but to be honest, I don't clean my brushes frequently enough. I found it kind of frustrating to clean my brushes. Not sure why but it always takes a REALLY LONG TIME for my brushes to dry. This is such a lifesaver as I know I can sanitize my brushes every time I use them with just one click! I don't have to worry about skin issues caused by dirty brushes anymore! It also makes a really good/cute gift. Very happy with this purchase." —Cyn

Promising review: "I've always wanted a photography bag to put all my gear that doesn't look like the regular bulky photography bag. This is it! The Runner is discreet, super light and I can fit my X-T3 camera with a lens on, two additional lens and my compact X100F. But the most important feature to me is the laptop sleeve where I can put my 16-inch MacBook Pro. Great-quality bag with durable materials. Love it." —Lauriane M.

"I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour staying power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy

Promising review: "When I placed my order for this tray I looked at the pics but did not realize how really cool this piece is. The ability to change the size is great but I just love the different trays that are removable as well as the ability to put my phone and a Kindle in 'safe' areas of the tray. I found a perfect place for my TV remote should I want to watch TV and not read. I just got it and used it last night but it appears to be well made, balanced and offers versatility for the things you may want at your fingertips when taking a luxurious bath!" —SindiMcG

The zipper slot to slip the bag over the luggage handle makes loading and trekking through the airport so much easier.

I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy
