A watermelon sleeping mask by Glow Recipe infused with watermelon extract, hyaluronic acid, and AHAs — a skin-smoothing serum that’ll have their face glowing when they wake up.
Sephora
Promising review: “I’ve never had such immediate results from any other product before. Not only does it smell incredible (like a watermelon jolly rancher), but I wake up with an even complexion every time. Could not recommend more.” —veganbritt
A splurge-worthy Samsung Frame that’ll delight anyone who doesn’t want quality wall space taken over by a big blank screen. With this, you just happen to get a luxury television while you’re at it.
This is honest and truly the best splurge I have ever made. It has massively upgraded the look in my living room. My husband loves the photography options and I love all the classical paintings – as someone who loves changing up my decor, being able to update the display images has been so fun. The quality is fantastic while watching movies and TV…but I’m pretty sure I love it as a piece of art in my home even more.
Promising review: “This is a brilliant TV! It looks great in art mode. If your primary goal is to have the TV look less like a TV, I think you’ll be pleased with this one. There are some reviews that point out some downsides (like a small amount of local storage), but I’ve had no problems. The pictures make the screen look brighter than it is but with the right pictures, it looks matte and brilliant in art mode; like a framed print.” —N B

An Always Pan designed with a slippery nonstick surface, a vented top, a steaming basket, and a wooden spoon that hooks onto the handle for cooks who want a pan that truly does it all.
Our Place
I own this pan and I’m pretty sure I’ll never need to own another ever again. The spoon rest is genius, cleaning is a cinch, and it cooks all my ambitious Pinterest attempts perfectly. I’m not the only one who loves it here! Read my BuzzFeed coworker’s full review to learn even more about this lovely kitchen staple (#1).
Promising review: “Absolutely amazing! It is so versatile and easy to clean. It’s not overwhelmingly big but it handles one pot meals like a champ. I am blown away.” —Aileen R.
Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in five colors).
4.
A leather Fjällräven belt that’ll be a sturdy replacement for the single belt you own and keep forgetting to replace, despite the fact that it’s literally held together with duct tape at this point.
Backcountry
Promising review: “This belt has good width and seems to be well made. It’s a simple in design, which is exactly what I was looking for. Nice belt!” —Shawn Craig
Get it from Backcountry for $79.95 (available in three colors and sizes S–XL).
Biossance
This uses AHA to gently exfoliates skin and anti-inflammatory squalane to reduce redness and irritation.
Promising review: “This has been working wonderfully for my extremely sensitive skin. I use it every other night and it really does make a visible difference immediately. New staple in my skincare routine.” —HOLLY M.
A cropped trucker jacket lined with some cozy-as-can-be wool — you can confidently know this cold weather staple can keep you warm for years. Years. And. Years.
Levi’s
Promising review: “I couldn’t be happier. It’s warmer than expected and fits perfectly. Not to mention it goes with anything! It’s my new favorite jacket. If you’re on the fence just do it :).” —Kay B.
Get it from Levi’s for $87.98+ (available in three colors and sizes XS–XL).

A vibrating facial brush — an exfoliating skincare tool that’ll take a basic bath to the next level. I own this thing and IMHO, I’m pretty confident this would ~vibe~ with just about everyone.
Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed
Promising review: “Before getting this device, although I have a very strict skincare routine, I really didn’t exfoliate often enough. Now being able to gently exfoliate whilst I cleanse morning and night is so great, especially as I have been able to add this into my skincare routine without any additional time! I have super sensitive skin which gets red very easily but this device is gentle enough for me on the middle speed setting (or even higher) with no irritation. You can play around with different levels of vibration, which is great, and I find the highest level is great for massaging the forehead (also try the back for this area) and it’s really relaxing!! I’ve had mine for a few weeks already and it still hasn’t run out of charge yet, so will be great for travel! Important to note that I did follow the instructions to charge mine as soon as I received it. Plus the super cute pink color looks so nice in my bathroom!” —Sophie
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in two colors).

A pack of five airtight silicone lids in different sizes to securely store leftovers without waisting a bunch of plastic wrap *or* wasting a bunch of time trying to find a perfectly sized container and lid.
Food52
These have saved many a bowl of leftovers in my place. I don’t have space for lot of containers, so I was constantly using plastic wrap or plastic bags when I wanted to save food. It was an awful waste. These saved the day! They pack flat and the sizes fit on any container (even if I just leave my leftovers in the bowl I ate dinner in). I’m a sucker for this stuff.
Promising review: “These are super cute. I love the colors and they work great. The array of sizes they came in is also very handy. In fact, these are so much cuter than the other options available online that my friends decided to get the same set. If you took the time to google other silicone lids your eyes will burn. For my purposes these are perfect. Highly recommend.” —DemiChang
Get them from Food52 for $40 (available in two colors).
9.
A pair of extra lightweight suede sneakers that are only one pound each! They’re also waterproof, anti-microbial, and insultingly chic.
Nisolo
Promising review: “I have had my eye on these shoes for quite some time. They seemed minimal, good quality, and a great everyday shoe that I could throw on yet still look classy. Despite my love for them prior to receiving them, they still blew my expectations out of the water. They are all the things I anticipated, becoming a quick wardrobe staple, but are also just so dang comfortable. ‘Travel’ does not just pertain to their packability, I could totally see myself walking 20,000 steps around Amsterdam with these shoes on my feet.” —Kristen K.
Get them from Nisolo for $130 (available in five colors and sizes 6-10).
10.
And a Novogratz pet sofa that’s gonna look doggone delightful in your living room!
Wayfair
Promising review: “This is an excellent and well-sized pet bed! It definitely fits our 23-pound pitbull puppy with extra room for her to grow into. The mustard yellow is not super bright and more on the muted, slightly darker side, which is more than ideal for our living room color palette. It looks very high quality and chic!” —Lam–Anh
Get it on sale from Novogratz on Wayfair for $126.16 (originally $260.49).
11.
A Tuft & Needle mattress designed to be breathable, soft, and supportive at times when you’ll need it most.
Amazon
Promising review: “This is a game changer. I am the youngest of three, so I’ve always gotten hand-me-downs. This is the first mattress I’ve actually bought for myself, and I’m in love. I’m a hot sleeper, and side sleeper, and this mattress is so perfect that I feel like it will improve my daily functioning. I would always wake up exhausted on my old mattress, waking up multiple times throughout the night either sweating or just uncomfortable. One night on this mattress, and I feel rejuvenated! It is the PERFECT mattress.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $445+ (available in six sizes).
12.
An end grain cutting board made with high quality acacia wood, so you can ~cut it out~ with those flimsy cutting boards and hold onto one that lasts forever.
Amazon
Promising review: “This is a great cutting board. It’s nice and thick and so beautiful that we just leave it out on the counter all the time. I live in Colorado and my first couple of cutting boards ended up drying out and warping, but I’ve been treating this one and taking care of it and I’m not disappointed!” —KaFuller
Get it from Amazon for $44.43+ (available in 10 styles).
13.
A Kindle Paperwhite sure to make reading so convenient, you just might find electronic books the ~write~ way to read from now on.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’ve owned and enjoyed most Amazon readers over the last 10 years and have never had any complaint with any of the devices. The last generation Kindle Paperwhite was a superior device, as was the Kindle Voyage. This Paperwhite seems to take the best of both and create a master device that exceeds the expectations for both. I’ve had my new Paperwhite for several weeks now and I’ve come to the conclusion that Amazon may have great difficulty finding a way to make it better next time. Is it really that good? I think it’s nothing short of a masterpiece.” —R. Dennis Hall
An acrylic wall calendar – a unique piece of decor that’ll ~clearly~ keep you organized.
Amazon
Includes a dry erase marker and three hanging options.
Promising review: “This calendar is very lightweight but still feels strong. After having dates and info on the calendar for about a month the old ink wipes off easily just using my finger. The large space at the bottom is also a plus! I definitely recommend this!!” —Isaac Anderson
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in two colors).
15.
A peg system drawer insert for making your junk drawers look like a minimalist masterpiece.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have a very large and deep kitchen drawer. This allows me to put a full eight-setting china set in the drawer. It is happens to match the maple interiors of my cabinets and that is a visual plus. We had to cut it down to fit but that was fairly easy. I bought two and will most likely use the second to organize storage containers and mixing bowls.” —Diana
Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in two sizes).
16.
A shirt folder that might seem like some unnecessary spending, until you see how crisp it makes your clothes. The laundry room is about to become your A-type paradise.
Promising review: “My first reaction was ‘Why did I buy this?’ because when I opened the box and wasn’t too convinced by the way it looked. Then I gave it a try with a couple shirts I had just washed and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neat, and easy. I still couldn’t believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. It’s a must try! I am in love with how beautiful it leaves my clothes.” —Jesus Antonio Vedia
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four colors).
17.
A rug designed to complement all the furniture you bring home (no matter how many sofas your furball destroys).
Amazon
IDK what the dog has against suede, but she *hates* it.
Promising review: “This rug is absolutely beautiful. The colors are vibrant, even better in person. I have two big dogs, both over 130 pounds, and I was afraid that the rug would show all kinds of things. Dirty paws, vomiting, and other lovely things like that. Actually, after a dog vomited, I couldn’t tell that there was an accident there. Dirty paws don’t show either. So far so good.” —Dorina
Get the 4′ x 6′ from Amazon for $62.84 (available in 23 sizes).
18.
A mounted tower toy for pet parents who aren’t ~kitten~ around when it comes to keeping their cat happy.
Amazon
Promising review: “This was very easy to put together. It wedges against my ceiling, so it is very sturdy. I have two growing, energetic kittens, who love it. I’m glad I bought it!” —mary morelli
Get it from Amazon for $83.99+ (available in three colors).
19.
An upright garment steamer that’ll make your LBD (or multicolored sweatpants, you do you!) look so nice, it’s sure to guarantee a ~steamy~ date night.
Amazon
Promising Review: “This steamer is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. This little puppy heats up in a snap and erases wrinkles effortlessly. The height and telescoping pole is great. When not in use, the telescoping pole makes it convenient to downsize for it to fit in a confined space. I’ve used this not only on clothes but curtains, sofa covers, and sheets — who needs an iron?? Everyone who has ever used my steamer has been in awe of how great it is!” —Anita
Promising review: “These are my secret weapon to get great sleep. I don’t need any fans and I can actually sleep with a comforter!!! They are very cooling and breathable.” —Liam M.
Get them from My Sheets Rock for $139+ (available in eight colors and seven sizes).
21.
A face mask set with zombie, witch, and mummy themes sure to make your skin so soft you won’t be able to help but feel ~dead~ inside when you think of all the years you’ve gone without this magic in your skincare routine.
Promising review: “This was definitely an interesting experience and I am highly satisfied with the results! After the treatment, the wrinkles at the corner of my eye and mouth are immensely decreased in depth, as well as my under eye. My skin felt so soft and smooth and my pores were tiny!” —Angiechantae
A pair of weighted bracelets that’ll increase your workout, even when you’re only walking.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love these wrist weights, they take my workouts to the next level. They are easily adjustable and so far they haven’t been slipping. I also like that they are narrow enough to fit on my wrist with Fitbit.” —Lily
Get them from Amazon for $37.96 (available in five colors and two weights).
23.
A pair of noise-canceling headphones for people who know their Spotify playlist (and noise cancelling, well, everything) is a necessary staple in each day.
Amazon
Promising Review: “These headphones are amazing! I initially thought the Google Assistant integration would be a small bonus, but I totally underestimated how powerful and convenient it would be. It’s more than just a trigger for voice commands. It’s a surprisingly flawless implementation that allows Google Assistant to turn you into a much more productive multi-tasker. You might be wondering how these headphones perform as headphones. The answer is, great! They’re very comfortable, lightweight, and they don’t make your ears sweat or hurt over long periods of continual usage. The wireless range, sound quality, and the battery life (20 hours) is all top notch for such a portable package. This headset has already exceeded my expectations in so many ways, and I couldn’t be happier with the design.” —Jordan T
Get them from Amazon for $399+ (available in three colors).
24.
A tool stand that’ll organize your yard tools so well, you might actually be able to fit your car in the garage for once.
Amazon
Promising review: “Having recently renovated my garage, I needed tool storage in one of the corners and found this rack. The price and size were just right. What surprised me was the large amount of stuff I was able to easily store. It is a well-designed tool stand and so easy to place and remove the stored items. Despite a small footprint, it is quite stable. The different size and shape of the tool slots really work like charm for most any item. Putting it together takes seconds and moments later the clutter is gone like magic. No drilling, no hammering, no hardware, no brackets. Nothing quite compares to this. It has made a big difference for little cost.” —William
Get it with casters from Amazon for $75.94 (available in three styles).
25.
A surprisingly affordable canopy bed frame that’ll enhance your bedroom beyond recognition. Wait. Did your room just turn into a high-end Airbnb? Maybe.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love this bed!!! It came well packaged, with no damage to the box or bed frame. And all the parts are LABELED! The instructions are easy to read. All screw holes drilled and aligned. Seems to be pretty sturdy. I’m very pleased with this purchase.” —Karen Rivera
Get it from Novogratz on Amazon for $180.03+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
26.
A hidden jewelry cabinet — a clever storage solution that’s sure to keep your best accessories hidden from your grabby partner. You said you’d share your life with them…not your necklaces.
Amazon
Promising review: “Beautiful, sturdy armoire. The one thing people should be aware of: It’s not very deep. I primarily bought this armoire for all my bulky bead necklaces, but the doors would not close, so I had to rethink my plans. I have a ton of necklaces, bangles, earrings, etc., so I was able to get them all in here and I really like how visible everything is! I originally wanted to purchase an armoire with drawers, but then you still have to search all the drawers to find what you’re looking for. With this, I just open the door and voila! The lights go on as soon as you open the door, which is handy. It is also very low profile and lockable and I must say that it holds a lot.” —Eucharia Pieraccini
Get it on Amazon for $119.99+ (available in six styles).
27.
A smart trashcan so convenient, efficient, and high-tech the only thing you’ll have to worry about is Oscar the Grouch wanting to move in.
Amazon
Promising review: “If you’ve always wanted to believe in your Jedi powers, then look no further than this trash can. A simple wave of the hand (or powerful thought) is all it takes to open this up. And if you want it to close, just walk away! Aside from its super powers, it is also very sturdy, a perfect size, and it’s super easy to clean.” —Mrs. Ari
A comfortable car mattress — it may save the day in an emergency, or make every emergency vacation way more manageable.
Amazon
Includes one air mattress, two inflatable pillows, one inflator/deflator pump, one repair kit, and one storage bag.
Promising Review: “I have to say that this is amazing! This bed can be used in a truck or the back of a car, which is so practical. The machine it comes with helps it inflate quickly. It can also be used anytime you’re camping, not just in a car. It shocked me how spacious the back seat was with this air mattress. And the cushion is very comfortable. It’s easily portable, because it’s not heavy at all. Such good quality!” —Amy
Get the SUV version from Amazon for $54.99 (available in seven styles).

A Tula baby carrier for parents who know that carrying their baby is more than a handful.
Amazon
This little thing is the Ferrari of infant carriers. Made of 100% cotton, its innovative design adjusts in three width settings and two height settings to allow for an ergonomic position for newborns, infants, and early toddlerhood. The carrier can adjust to carry your child on your back or chest, and uses a wide bottom strap for ultimate comfort for both parent and child.
Promising Review: “I don’t know what I would do without this carrier. I like how it adjusts easily and doesn’t have loud hook and loops. In addition, I was able to use it with a four-week-old without an infant insert. My baby can nap comfortably in it and sometimes it’s the only way to calm her. I use this for hours every day and am able to care for a toddler, clean, etc. I’m extremely impressed and definitely recommend.” —Katie Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $113.48+ (available in three colors).
30.
A clear Ninja blender that’ll blend in with your kitchen decor as well as it’ll blend you up the perfect smoothie.
Promising review: “I’ve had my Ninja for nearly four years and it’s still going strong. My average use is about three times/week. It still blends great, I’ve never had the plastic break, I’ve never been cut by the blades. Handle it with care and you’ll definitely get your money’s worth out of this investment.” —Amazon Customer
A travel wallet with a crossbody strap and a helpful handle on the side, so getting through airpot security (or just your daily commute to work) can be a breeze.
FreePeople
Promising review: “This wallet is perfect for those who are tired of lugging around a purse. There is a place for everything and keeps stuff perfectly organized. Great for travel as well as everyday use. I purchased the wallet about five months ago – I use it every day and it is holding up very well!” —dlweber
Get it from Free People for $68 (available in four colors).

An electric dehumidifier that’ll keep the air in your room from being moist…because even the sound of that is awful.
Amazon
This dehumidifier is also lightweight and has a 16-ounce water tank capacity, can remove up to nine ounces per day, and is ideal for small rooms.
Promising review: “This is a perfect size for my apartment. It is so quiet, you can’t hear anything running! The price is great, and I can really feel the difference with the humidity. Before I bought this, I would get out of the shower and try to dry off, but my hands still felt damp and I would have to sit for about 30 minutes to feel dry.” —Cynthia Barnes
A Tchibo bean-to-brew single-serve coffee maker — an eco-friendly option for coffee consumers who want a luxe roasted brew (without a bit of climate change guilt). Single-use pods are a thing of the past, people!
This is the very first coffee machine I’ve had in my home (I figured it was time to make a break room in my apartment, since my husband and I weren’t taking nearly enough breaks to chat by the water cooler). I wanted something that was more eco-friendly than traditional K-Cup pod machines, but didn’t need a whole pot of coffee in the mornings. This machine is intuitive, easy to clean, and makes a boast-worthy brew. I think it’s 100% worth the splurge for earth-conscious coffee drinkers.
Get it on sale from Tchibo for $349 (originally $399; purchase includes two bags of whole bean Röst Frisch coffee).
34.
An electric indoor grill for apartment dwellers who would do anything to get their hands on some real “backyard” BBQ.
Amazon
Promising review: “Seriously, I love this grill. I recently moved into city and can’t use my grill so thought I’d give this a try. It’s amazing how well this works considering what it is and what it costs. Meals cooked on this thing look fantastic and taste even better. Seriously, if you’ve been on the fence about this grill just buy it. You won’t be disappointed.” —AdventureChuck
A double laundry hamper – it’s gonna organize your clothes from the moment they’re thrown in the hamper, helping prevent any pink clothes from popping out of your load of whites.
Amazon
This durable hamper fits up to four loads of laundry and also has removable liners, which makes it easy to transport your dirty clothes to and from the laundry room.
Promising review: “I can’t believe I’m writing a review for a laundry basket, but I love it that much, so here I am. The quality of this hamper goes way beyond the price. It’s attractive, stylish even, and very sturdy. I love it.” —Alan McGinnis
Get it from Amazon for $45.96 (available in seven colors).

A sous vide precision cooker to make such delicious entrees, you’ll tell this inanimate object how thankful you are that you two were able to ~meat~.
Amazon
Attach the Anova Precision Cooker to any water-filled pot, put your food in a sealable bag, and set the time and temperature. The cooker heats and circulates the water to a precise temperature, cooking the food to an exact temperature. This cooking method increases tenderness and retains moisture (without worry of overcooking).
Promising review: “This product brings joy. Meal time has become super simple and extra delicious. I have used it dozens of times and the little guy is an absolute champ! I’ve taken cheap cuts, like eye round, and served them as beef Wellington and those I served had no idea it wasn’t tenderloin. Get this for the food nerd in your family and make them use it. Your belly and tastebuds will thank you.” —Kelly E. Turner
An adjustable baby carriage that’s gonna help your younger sibling see that strolling around with a colicky newborn, fidgety baby, or active toddler can still be a walk in the park. Um, sort of.
Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $459+ (available in four colors).

A wire-free bra so comfortable you might see yourself finding reasons to put your bra on, instead of reasons to be taking it off.
True&Co.
I rarely wear a bra. I don’t like the feel of standard underwire, straps, cups, or hooks. I found this online and (because I am easily seduced by online ads) thought I’d give it a try. I was eager to see if there was a bra that made wearing a bra worth it. Guess what? YUP. There is. It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing much of anything, but it gives my big ol’ bewbs enough support to suggest otherwise. It’s also so soft I now genuinely prefer wearing this bra to wearing nothing at all. And I mean that.
Get it from True&Co. for $64 (available in 12 colors and sizes XS–2X, which is a 42F).

A nitro cold brew maker that’ll make you espres-so excited about your daily cup (or, um, cups) of coffee.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “This product is wonderful. I would buy it for every coffee lover in my life. You can mix and match flavors of coffee for a unique taste every refill. This product is meant to sit in the fridge (it’s a cold brew!). My fridge isn’t huge by any means but, while the coffee pot sits in the fridge, it never seems to be in my way! The coffee comes out delicious every time. It’s very easy to use and easy to clean. I can’t imagine a morning without a cold cup of this brew!” —Brooklyn
Promising review: “I have been eyeing the Dyson Blow-Dryer for a while. I knew it was expensive, but I was still determined to gift it to myself. So far, I have only used the diffuser to dry my curls and nozzle blow cold air into my scalp. The diffuser is an excellent tool. The lowest heat option is sufficiently hot enough that I’m able to dry my hair after styling it (soaked and wet) in under 20 minutes. I have 3C, bra length hair, medium thickness. It took 30-40 minutes with my previous dryer with a diffuser attachment, but it never dried my roots fully. I’m very impressed with the heat, strength, and effectiveness. This is my holy grail.” —Anonymous
Get it from Dyson for $399.99 (available in four colors).

A Eucalyptus jogger set that’ll feel sinfully silky on your skin and make you question how you ever fell asleep before slipping into these.
Sijo
I just started wearing these and knew I had to throw them into this post! They’re clearly a splurge just from the look of them — simply too fancy for sleepwear (and yet, they ARE) but they also feel luxurious. They’re silky soft, super breathable, and unnecessarily elegant. These are totally worth the splurge.
Get it from Sijo for $88 (originally $110; available in four colors and sizes XS–XXL).

And a mulberry silk pillowcase sure to help you fall smoothly into slumber, while keeping your hair smooth at the same time. Bedhead, be gone!
Amazon
Promising review: “This is a fantastic product for a fair price. Silk pillowcases have always been one of my go-to gifts for anyone – they can be expensive, a luxury item that some people find it hard to invest in for themselves. As a result, I’ve probably tried and/or purchased almost every mainstream brand out there today. This is by far the best product and somehow also one of the most reasonably priced. The silk is the highest grade and, with the standard at 25mm, they are just as thick, if not thicker, than most products out today. As a result, they remain silky and smooth for many more washes. Other options out there will be disappoint compared to this.” —Mark Sarlitto
Get the King size set from Amazon for $49.99 (available in 11 colors and three sizes).

And finally, a bidet, because when you realize that washing your bottom after using the bathroom makes even more sense than washing your hands, you’re never gonna want to wipe with that dry, wasteful, less-efficient toilet paper ever again.
Tushy
Promising review: “I am loving my Tushy! It is powerful and so easy to install! Not gonna lie, I wish my sink was on the same wall so I could do the warm water option but it is super effective and definitely wakes you up! I believe this is the best way to keep things happily clean and, coupled with my Squatty Potty, I think 2019 is going to be the year of the happy BM!” —Natalie D.
