    Dearest Gentle Reader, These 50 Products Are Impulse Buys You Won’t Regret

    When you binge-watch your favorite show a little too quickly, you probably need some retail therapy to fill the void.

    1. A criminally cute shaved sheep plushie sure to brighten your day and bring you joy like no other stuffed animal on the planet. Just look at how adorable it is!! You can pull down the zipper to help "shed" its coat...you know, just for fun.

    Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." —Aerebys Stare

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

    2. An overall jumpsuit to take a casual T-shirt to the next level. It's got extra deep pockets, has a comfy oversized fit, and even comes in tons of cute prints!

    Promising review: "These are so cute and comfortable! I wore it to Disneyland on a hot, sunny day. It kept me cool while waiting in line for rides. The front pocket was perfect to hold my phone and shades." —Heidi

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes S—3X and 16 colors/patterns).

    3. A set of luxe extra-soft cooling bed sheets reviewers compare to high-quality hotel sheets! These are perfect for hot sleepers because they maintain their cool *and* their quality over time. They also come in a TON of colors, so don't be afraid to get more than one set!

    Promising review: "Feel like expensive high-end hotel sheets. I normally use flannel sheets year-round because it’s the only material I like, but these are my new favorite. Very soft and cooling. Fit our bed perfectly. I purchased both for our bed and our spare room and have only gotten compliments from guests. Great sheets without the huge sticker price." —Anna Greenlun

    Get it from Amazon for $33.96 (available in seven sizes and 44 colors).

    4. And a ~cooling~ Kitsch 100% satin pillowcase to ensure your hair and skin protection continues while you're sleeping! With satin, there's less friction, which means no more tangled hair (thank goodness!), and the cooling effect will help you sleep soundly.

    Promising reviews: "Way better than I expected! I was super skeptical that this would help. I only wash my hair twice a week and typically have to straighten or curl it every week. This helped a ton! I don't have to curl or straighten it nearly as much. It's helped with frizz, too. I've washed them several times, and they feel durable." —Molly G.

    "I love my pillowcase!...It's super soft and leaves your hair feeling silky when you wake up. It is durable and lasts through the washing machine (and dryer, I know). I will definitely be using these as gifts for friends and family." —Kimmie

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and 30+ colors/patterns).

    5. The cult- (and BuzzFeed editor-) favorite Essence Lash Princess mascara for dramatically long lashes without the price of extensions or false strips. This bestseller has over 215,000 five-star ratings!

    My colleagues Kayla Boyd and Emma Lord *love* this stuff! 

    Kayla says: "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. It uses a conic shape fiber brush to help the mascara apply evenly without getting too clumpy. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes, without the discomfort." Read her full Essence Lash Princess Mascara review for more! 

    Emma says: "Hello, that is my face above (I'm the blonde), because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the livelong day no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time." 

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    6. An elegant set of square wineglasses perfect as you ~wine~ down the day with a glass of rosé during a gorgeous summer sunset or casually sip on a fancy mocktail.

    Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" —Katie B

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in a set of two).

    7. A layered necklace set that makes it easy to add some oomph to your 'fit. These gorgeous chains are separate, too, so you can wear them individually and adjust them as much as you'd like! Reviewers are obsessed with how great the quality is at such a low price point.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven’t taken them off since I received them; they still look brand new. I’ve worn them in the shower, pools, and at the beach, and they are still perfect." —Allison Kwong

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three finishes and 12 other styles). 

    8. A ravioli spoon rest for home cooks who love pasta on the level of needing it as decor ( I mean...I totally get it). This spoon rest will keep your cooking utensils nearby and your counters clean, and put a smile on your face.

    Promising review: "This is a great spoon rest, but an even greater conversation piece for anyone who walks by the stove. 'Is that a giant ravioli on your stove?' 'OMG, no, it's just my adorable spoon rest!' Jealousy ensues. You get the idea. Also, it keeps the stove clean(er), and everything washes off of the spoon rest quite easily."Melissa McMahon

    Get it from Amazon for $17.45

    9. A vibrant wireless keyboard and mouse set to help your work-from-home setup go from bland to bright. The keyboard is full-size, too, meaning it has that super convenient numeric pad on the right.

    The USB receiver is what helps this keyboard and mouse duo work wirelessly (no Bluetooth needed). Simply insert in your computer to connect!

    Promising reviews: "This is ADORABLE! I love love love everything about this keyboard. It’s satisfying to the touch and visually appealing. It’s easy to hook up (just some batteries and plug into your computer)! I love green, and it matches well with my room and desk setup." —Seba

    "I absolutely love [this keyboard]!... It connects to your Mac/PC laptop with a USB piece and is operated by AA batteries. The keys really do feel like a typewriter, and I get all the nostalgia and fun of typing on a mechanic keyboard. 10/10." —Katherine Dinh

    Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in 11 colors).

    Pssst... If you're looking for a compact version (i.e., without the numeric keypad), Amazon has that too! Check it out for $35.99.

    10. A floral crop top and pants set practically made to be worn during the warmer seasons. From summer weddings to vacations in Greece, this set *will* be the center of attention.

    Promising reviews: "This was probably the cutest set I’ve ever ordered off Amazon. I got SO many compliments... Quality was great, the set washes well and is very comfortable material!" —Jacob Cadwell

    "Classy! ...It is completely lined. Very well made! Fit [my daughter] perfectly! She looks like a million bucks in it! The length is just long enough so she is able to wear flat sandals with it. But not long enough to wear heels. She loves it!!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $43.99+ (available in women's straight sizes XS–L, plus sizes XXL–4X, and three colors/patterns).

    11. Some 6-hour hydrocolloid nose patches if pimple-picking is an obnoxious habit you'd like to stop asap (it's hard, I get it😩). This is the bigger, nose-shaped version of the best-selling Mighty Patch and it'll cover your entire nose to banish *multiple* pesky zits, dirt, and oil in one fell swoop. 

    Promising review: "It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling, and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin, I definitely recommend washing your face first and applying it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas...maybe because it's not cheap." —Justina

    Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55.

    12. A soft animal ear spa headband for a cute way to hold your hair back while you wash your face or do your weekly mud mask.

    Promising review: "This headband keeps my hair out of my face when I am studying or doing skincare/my makeup. It's super soft and cute! Definitely an upgrade from the boring headband I used before. :)" —Michelle Yee

    Get it from Amazon for $6.50+ (available in eight other styles).

    13. OR a spa headband and matching water-absorbant cuffs to hold your hair back *and* keep the water from annoyingly seeping down your arm.

    Promising review: "I wish I bought this years ago. It is such a luxury to wash your face without water dripping down to your elbows. It has only been a few weeks, but I even wash my face more often now that I have this lovely product! Works well for the price! Headband is very comfortable and still stays in place nicely." —Vic

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in 32 colors).

    14. A set of Bridgerton-inspired art prints featuring quotes from your favorite characters like, "For what is more fragile than the human heart?", "I burn for you," and the famous "Dearest gentle readers, did you miss me?" from *thee* Lady Whistledown herself.

    Promising reviews: "I’ve bought several of these. It’s popular with the teen crowd, so I am an outlier. At 51, I use this at night around my lips. Really softens the pinched look that can come with age. I like the scent, too! A little teeny, but I’ll take it." —EJF

    Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in five scents).

    17. A cult-favorite tightening cream from Sol de Janeiro, a scrumptiously hydrating body cream that also provides temporary skin tightening thanks to its caffeine-infused formula. Plus, reviewers say that the salted caramel and vanilla scent smells DIVINE.

    Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

    Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in three sizes)

    18. A textured leggings ~specifically~ designed to accentuate your favorite ass-et. They'll have you looking and feeling good whether you're rocking them in the gym or elsewhere!  

    Promising review: "Ok, so, I was skeptical about these, thinking they were being overhyped on TikTok, but no. They are just as amazing as everyone says. They are comfortable, sit nicely above the waist, and have a nice stretch. I was also skeptical about the material, but it’s great. I got black, and the material is not see-through. I got my regular size, and they are perfect. I will definitely buy it again, maybe in different colors. 5 ⭐️ 💯." —AHmommy

    Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in women's sizes S–4X and in 24 colors and patterns).

    19. A shampoo scalp massager because what's the point of washing your hair if you aren't truly getting to the roots?! Wasting money is a BIG time annoying, and this massager will help ensure your shampoo and conditioner reaches every inch of your head — zero wasted. The soft, thick bristles cleanse and exfoliate your scalp and are designed to stimulate blood flow and remove dead skin, dried shampoo, and other unwanted stuff on your scalp.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    Promising review: "As I've gotten older (62), my scalp has gotten itchy, so I thought I'd give this a try. Used it twice and already feel a difference. It makes my scalp tingle and just feels good. I just scrub with shampoo in my hair for about a minute. It's easy to hold and washes off nicely." —Cindylou

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

    20. sunset projection lamp for gorgeous end-of-day vibes whenever you want them. This lamp can rotate 180 degrees and provides a light that can go as big or as little as you'd like, depending on its position. How can you not see the joy in that?

    Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light (but it's not too bright. I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed, and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycles). Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —Amazon customer

    Get it from Amazon for $11.69+ (available in three colors).

    21. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll help eliminate rough, dead skin in *minutes*. Many reviewers say it only took as long as two to three to see results! After applying this gel, simply scrub with a foot file and your heels will feel brand new.

    Promising review: "I take very good care of my 67-year-old feet. Always have cause I am a distance walker and biker. Yet summer sandal weather in Texas had them looking and feeling less than baby-pink and soft. For me, it only took only 3 minutes on the heels and ball of foot, with a bit on the outside edge of the big toe. But WOW, this really worked. In 10 minutes total, I am soft and super smooth and good to go!" —C. brown

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    22. flat top foundation brush to make blending a ~seamless~ task thanks to its soft (yet firm!) bristles and easy-to-hold thicker handle. Reviewers say it works great for both powder *and* liquid foundations and that it doesn't absorb tons of product like beauty sponges do.

    Promising review: "I am 55 years old and have applied foundation with my fingertips, or more recently makeup sponges, for my entire lifespan of wearing makeup. I’ve been unhappy with sponges lately as I feel I wipe more off with a sponge than stays on my face. The foundation also did not seem evenly distributed. I decided to try a foundation brush. I am beyond happy with this purchase. The bristles are extremely soft, and the brush head is very dense. I also feel I use less foundation product. As soon as I begin applying, my face looks transformed. I love how my complexion looks flawless with foundation, evenly distributed. I truly feel like a different person. I just cleaned the brush for the first time, and the brush cleaned up very well and returned to its original look and shape. I just purchased a second one so that I always have one cleaned and ready for use." —Linda

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four).

    23. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a gentle, lightweight, hydrating face serum designed for *all* skin types — even those with sensitive skin! It's used to protect your skin's moisture barrier in the spring and summer heat, but reviewers swear by it for healing acne scars, fading dark spots, and smoothing fine lines, too. Reviewers say it's the most magical beauty product around!

    Promising review: "I wish I could give this product a 10. I am 63 years old and have been using this for a month. Within days of using this, I noticed that my skin tone was more even, and my age spots were lighter. Every few days after that I noticed other major improvements. There is no way I can scientifically measure the percentage of improvement in each area, but this is my best guess based on what I am seeing in the mirror…
    - forehead wrinkles and wrinkles on the side of my eyes 100% reduction. They are GONE.
    - under eye bags 40% tighter
    - under eye wrinkles 70% improvement
    - parentheses lines around my mouth have a softened appearance
    - lip wrinkles and sagging eyelids, not seeing much change
    - jawline 70% lifted
    - neck 50% tighter
    - chest 40% softer appearance
    - age spots 30% lighter
    - skin tone MUCH more even and balanced
    - pores appear smaller
    - my skin feels much firmer and lifted
    I recommended this to a friend who is my age and noticed drastic improvement around her eyes in just two weeks. I also recommended it to my 26-year-old niece with acne scars. Within four days, her scars began to lighten and were less noticeable." —Don Garrett

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99

    24. A pound of cereal marshmallows because I think we can all agree the correct ratio of cereal to marshmallows is 90% marshmallows and 10% cereal. This bag will have you covered for (hopefully) a little while!

    Promising review: "Amazing! I put them in hot chocolate, Rice Krispies treats, other cereals, or just eat then by the handful. Impulse buy that totally worked out." —Maddison Helsel

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    25. Or some zingy salt and vinegar seasoning if you're more into the savory side of life. This will make your fave popcorn, fries, veggies, wings (and more!) the perfect amount of tangy.

    Bakers Club is a family-run small business led by a father-son duo who have decades of experience in the food service industry.

    Promising review: "If you’re a fan of the tangy kick of salt and vinegar chips, you’ve got to give this a try. From a snack mix of popcorn and chips to roasted carrots and fries. I've been using it on everything. Trust me, it’s a flavor explosion that you won’t be able to get enough of!" —babette

    Get it from Amazon for $12.95.

    26. A suede and leather brush to get rid of those annoying scuffs and salt lines on your shoes, bags, and coats. No, you don't need to throw out and replace your favorite things with this thing at home!

    Promising reviews: "This brush is amazing. My daughter went puddle jumping in her boots [Uggs pictured above]. They dried out while I was trying to figure out how to clean them. Saw the reviews on this and ordered right away. Holy cow, they look almost new. I cleaned all my boots too because I was so excited. Even the ones I thought looked clean were much improved. I washed the brush with dish soap and water and let dry between pairs." —TRW

    "This brush saved my shoes! I posted before and after photos so you can see the difference. My shoes were light pink with big noticeable stains on the sides. I just brushed it in the same direction until the stains wore off." —Lissette Castillo

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    27. Some decorative rainbow window film for constant rainbows and positive energy in your home. When the sun hits your window, the entire room will make you smile. OH! And it's great for privacy, too.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this! TikTok made me buy it for my sunroof, and I'm so glad I did! It's so beautiful when the sun comes through! And you get so much for the price!! If you're on the fence, buy it!!" —Ashley Ann

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 11 sizes)

    28. An incredibly soft and stunning backless bodysuit sure to turn heads, earn compliments, and become an instant favorite in your closet. Reviewers say this bodysuit is supportive, ultra stretchy, and double-lined so that the front isn't see-through. I give this a 10/10! 

    The image shows a model in a green top and distressed jeans walking on sand.

    Amazon

    Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS TOP! It's so comfy and not see-through at all. I didn't wear a bra (just nip covers), and it was thick, supportive, and [looked great on me]!! I would 100% buy this again in other colors." —Mia N.

    "Tall [folks], this is your bodysuit 🙌🙌 I love this bodysuit! Not only is it adorable, it's excellent quality with the front having a double liner (not see through, even in light pink color), but it's also a soft, stretchy fabric that feels amazing on the skin." —Amanda

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in nine colors).

    29. A splurge-worthy bottle of Olaplex No. 3 for a salon-like hair treatment right at home. It's specifically made to repair damaged hair and restore your gorgeous locks.

    Promising review: "For the price of this small bottle, I had very high expectations, and it truly delivered! This is not a hair conditioner. As it says on the bottle, it is a 'hair bonder.' I am 55 years old, and I dye my gray Asian hair every 3–4 weeks. This makes my hair very frizzy and dry-looking no matter how much I condition. After using this twice — I washed my hair first, towel dried it, applied Olaplex, left it on for 10–15 minutes each time, did a quick rinse, towel dried it, and then blow-dried it —, the result is just amazing! No more frizz and fly-away hair. That was two days ago and still looks good." —SusannaF

    Get it from Amazon for $30.

    30. A pack of scented shower steamers because fully upgrading to a filtered aromatherapy showerhead has a heavy price tag. These will turn your shower into a place of luxurious bliss with scents like citrus, grapefruit, and more energizing aromas.

    FYI, Body Restore is a small biz!

    Promising reviews: "It was a game-changer after I bought this. Every night I come back after a stressful day of work, I pop one of these shower streamers, and I feel relaxed. The scent is nice; it was not too strong where it would be too overwhelming or too light in the scent. Overall, I would recommend this product." —Brandon C.

    "Tablets last up for 20 minutes in the shower and give off a relaxing smell. Don’t know if it’s because of the smell or the combination of hot water, but I seem to sleep a lot better at night, especially after a long day." —ohalicemalice

    Get a 6-pack from Amazon for $16.99.

    31. Or a eucalyptus bundle that provides both a delightful smell *and* can help clear your nose of any allergy-related stuffiness. Hang it in your shower for some soothing, spa-like energy!

    Promising review: "It took a while to ship, but it was worth the wait. It looks fantastic in my shower and smells great, too. It makes an everyday part of my routine feel luxurious! PS: I saw this item posted on BuzzFeed, which is what inspired me to buy. 10/10 would recommend!" —Breanna D.

    Promising reviews: "I’ve always been a big reader, and when I saw this on #bookstagram, I knew I had to have it. It’s so pretty and easy to use. I’m going to be ordering at LEAST one more to have in my office. It’s a great addition to anyone’s shelves." —Alyssa

    "Beautiful and unique design. Doesn’t leak water. I am very happy with my purchase." —Fernando Perepechkin

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five colors).

    35. A teeth-whitening pen that's easier and way less annoying than the strips you have to leave on for 30+ minutes. Paying tons of $$$ at the dentist and dealing with whitening strips that never stay on properly are *not* our only options, folks! With this pen, all you need to do is twist out the whitening gel, brush it along your top and bottom row of teeth, and you're done.

    Promising review: "I’ve had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used a professional solution in a tray, but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice on the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I’m proud to smile!" —Amazon Customer

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.74.

    36. A peel-off lip stain, the lip stain that ~glides~ on a holographic blue and peels off to unveil a gorgeous, long-lasting lip stain! According to reviewers, it can withstand any eating and drinking you do throughout the day, too. At this point, it's not a want but a need!

    Wonderskin is a woman-owned small business!

    Promising review: "Y’ALL. I am 50-something years old and have tried every 'long wear' and 'stain' there is, from department store robbery level to 'bitten' or whatever the vampire lip stain Revlon had out a while back. At my age, I longed for a lip color that didn’t leave my telltale wrinkled lip impression on a glass. But alas, all of the long-wear formulas were disappointing, dull, and, most of all, DRY. I was skeptical, but I have spent way more on crappy lip potions that I won’t use but apparently keep to torture myself about my wasteful spending. The purple was shocking, and the first time I used it, I sprayed and peeled pretty quickly, lest I end up with 1978 Donna Summer disco-era hologram lips that I definitely could not pull off in my office. And to my amazement, that stuff STAYED ON. Not dry, not seeping into cracks, not sticky, not weird tasting, not staining my teeth. Just like a 'bitten lip' — a slightly tinted natural color was there. The longer you let it sit, the darker it gets. After a FEW glasses of wine, pasta drizzled with a really good olive oil, salad, and dessert, there’s STILL some color! Stayed on through smooches, too." —Kelly K.

    Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 18 shades).

It was the perfect base for the start of my new Fairy Garden. Easy to install and fun to 'landscape' and decorate. Looking forward to expanding the bed with fairy-friendly plants." —C. Meyers

Since it sits on the edge of the cup, my fingers don't get sticky from a wet handle. Plus, it's absolutely adorable and makes me think of my own kitty while I'm away at work.

    Promising reviews: "Amazing product, has helped me to improve my relaxation levels. I struggle with balancing stress and I think too much, and this little gadget has tremendously improved my life." —Anna Morales

    "This tiny machine is loud enough to drown out annoying neighbors throwing loud parties somewhere; it drowns out my sister's dog's unnecessarily loud barking, and I’m at peace. I’m now deeply attached to this product as I’ve always had chronic sleep problems and have sensory issues. My sleep environment is so chill now; I can actually tell a difference in my sleep quality 'cause I go into a deep sleep and wake up like an ancient god that slept a thousand years. Best investment ever. Also cool sounds too." —Paloma G.

    41. Tree of Life retinol serum — an easy, hyaluronic acid-infused solution to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. This serum has earned nearly 19,000 5-star reviews (!!) filled with people sharing their ✨ magical✨  results.

    The reviewer pics above were taken just over one month apart without makeup on. 

    Promising review: "Ah. Maze. Ing! I bought this on a whim during a flash sale... After only three weeks of using this product, the lip lines are gone, the frown lines reduced by at least 50%, and my neck skin looks like a neck again! My skin is dewy, soft and healthy again. I can't wait to see what the next three weeks bring! And at this price I'm going to start using it on my hands and chest.

    My skin looks and feels great! This 56-year-old beach girl with decades in the sun and saltwater couldn't be happier. More youthful skin and $500 back in my pocket? What's not to like? Try it! Of course, skin type is a major factor in success. But my skin is VERY sensitive and not only has it shown improvement, I have not experienced any reddening or burning. Hope it works just as well for you!" —S. M. Spizzirri

    Promising reviews: "I love this product. I’m 53 years old and wake up daily with puffy eyes and dark circles. I apply them, and 20 minutes later, they are gone!! I definitely recommend this product." —Amazon Customer

    "These are by far the best eye patches I’ve used, and I have added them to my subscriptions so I never miss a day. I’m 64 years old and, due to multiple major life stressors over the last three years, have gone from looking 20 years younger than my age to looking every minute of my years. I’ve tried everything and have spent a small fortune trying to look less haggard and puffy. These patches are amazing. The box says you’ll see a difference in a few days, and I really did. There are no wrinkles under my eyes, and it lasts through the workday rather than the 10 minutes I’ve seen with some other patches. Put them in the fridge, they feel extra good!" —Amazon Customer

    Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you're good to go.

    Promising reviews: "I ordered this product after seeing it on TikTok...and I must say it does work. I love sweet wine but will always get a headache the next morning ( one glass). After using I did not have one the next morning. 😊" —Theresa B.

    "YOU NEED THIS STUFF! This stuff is almost unreal. It’s a tiny bottle of mercy drops sent down from God him/herself. I had sworn off alcohol the past couple of months because it made me feel terrible the next day. You know the deal...tired, throbbing head, bloated feeling, congestion, the hangover works. I was skeptical about this product but figured I’d try it based on the reviews. I’m so glad I did because this will now be a staple in my life.

    For reference, my boyfriend and I split a bottle of Malbec wine (14.2% ABV), put the recommended amount of drops into the bottle, and swirled it around. Typically we both would have woken up with nasty hangover symptoms but we oddly woke up feeling refreshed. I did not drink a lot of water with my wine so as to offset the potential hangover, so I know it was all on this little bottle of heaven... It’s flavorless so you don’t notice it’s addition whatsoever. Excellent product." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "Beautiful bottle! On top of it, it comes with a removable strap and a super easy open/closure lid! I also love the frosted plastic because it feels good to hold. I’ve always struggled with getting dehydrated, and I cannot get over how much I love the hourly reminders and how much this keeps me accountable...10/10 recommend." —Katrina

    Promising review: "I have extra tall windows in my sunroom. I decided to order 10 of these panels because they were so inexpensive and because the print would add a nice touch to all the plants, white wicker, etc. I LOVE THE WAY THIS LOOKS IN A SUNROOM. The quality is what you would expect for the price; the print is great, but the seams pucker slightly. But when I put the 10 panels together, that all just worked together. My windows are now bright with leaves cascading down, and the whole room is just fantastic because of these curtains." —Janice Briggs

    Promising reviews: "I got this for my mom for her birthday, and she loves it. Super easy to clean and puts out some serious bubbles without being too loud. The pumice stone is also great and makes it easy to scrub those tougher areas as well as the massaging nodes on the bottom. If you want a warm foot bath, just fill it with warm water, and it will stay warm. Overall a great little machine, and would highly recommend!" —Kim

    "After a long day of hard work, this foot spa is the perfect remedy. It is very relaxing and spacious for my feet. I like to include my favorite great-smelling foot bath salts that leave my feet feeling refreshed and smooth... [It's] easy to clean, and anyone will appreciate this as a gift!

    Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because I knew my boyfriend would laugh and appreciate the heck out of it...My boyfriend plays video games and has a fair share of Cowboy Bebop figurines, so when I saw it, I knew he'd get a kick out of it. 11/10 would buy it again just for another chance to see his reaction. And honestly, it looks great [and] transformed a boring white fridge we paid no mind to, to a clever and cute conversation piece that ~also~ serves a function." —Olivia
