Amazon

Promising review: “I’ve only had this teapot for a few days but it’s making excellent cold brew iced tea that’s helping me get through the first week in July in New York without an air conditioner. I’m considering buying a second! As another reviewer noted, I don’t think it would be good for tea that’s mostly fannings, but for larger leaf it should be fine. I bet you could make a mean gyokuru in this sucker!” —Amy

Read our full review of the Billie razor subscription service! The starter kit includes the razor, a magnetic holder, and two five-blade razor cartridges. Then, you can opt to receive four replacement cartridges for $9 when you need them. Bonus: you get free shipping on all razor subscriptions or orders over $15.

Here’s a little excerpt from our review: “Billie is just the most wonderful company, and every time I take a shower, I ponder if I should write them fan mail. First of all, everything they design is ADORABLE, so even if their razors were dull or flimsy, I’d still be a loyal fan. But luckily, their razors are as sharp as they are sharp looking. The handle is super lightweight and easy to grip. The razor heads are surrounded in a layer of soap, so they glide beautifully over skin without irritating it. Billie makes great razors and it’s awesome that they’re so affordable. If only they could go back in time and stop me from paying absurd amounts of money on pharmacy brand razors in my youth.” —Rebecca O’Connell

Promising review: “Okay no BS peeps, these headphones are the business. I put these headphones through some serious hardcore work. I listen to everything from gangster rap to hardcore speed metal and everything in between, and not once have these headphones let me down. The sound quality is crystal clear, the base pounds hella heavy, and the highs are definitely on point. The cord is pretty much tangle-free, unlike inferior headphones that don’t offer half of what these headphones have. Believe me when I tell you you’ll seriously regret not buying these headphones.” —Mike B.

Get them from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).

7. A bottle of vitamins so pretty, you won’t mind taking them.

Ritual

Read our full review of Ritual vitamins!

Here’s a little excerpt from our review: “The magic mostly lies in both the bottle and pill design — WHY DON’T ALL PILLS LOOK AND FEEL LIKE THIS — and also in the magical minty tab. I didn’t realize it at first, but each bottle has a clear food-safe plastic tab at the bottom that’s infused with peppermint oil; this makes the vitamins smell (and lightly taste) minty. It sounds like a small thing, but it actually goes a really long way. Overall, taking them each day is a legit lovely experience, so I actually do it.” —Rachel Wilkerson Miller

8. A fidget spinner disguised as a sparkly ring you can wear all the time.

Promising review: “I’ve had this ring for over six months and it’s still going strong. I wear it in the shower, swimming pool, and at night and it still looks as good as new. The spinning portion does get gunked up depending on what kind of hand soap I use, but all I need to do is give it a good wash in dish soap with hot water and it’s as good as new. It helps to keep me from picking on my cuticles and to help me concentrate while I’m studying. All in all, I am very satisfied with this ring and would recommend it to anyone looking for a spinner ring.” —Joy

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and six colors).

This 22-ounce bottle is made of BPA-free plastic.

Promising review: “Great little guy to have in your water bottle arsenal! It’s lightweight with a nice grippy side. My favorite part is the size. While it doesn’t fit in traditional water bottle sleeves on the side of a backpack, the shorter, slimmer design makes it perfect for a messenger bag or a purse. It sits flat and doesn’t roll around like a traditional bottle. Plus, I like that you can see the bottom to make sure it’s clean!” —CharlieW

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

Promising review: “This is not your usual, flimsy eco-tote. The first time I used it, I carried three 12-can packs (10 pounds each) of Coke and some other stuff from the drugstore. Any lesser bag would’ve torn. Folded, it fits in a standard jeans’ back pocket.” —Frontier Psychiatrist

Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 27 colors/patterns).

11. A metallic peel-off mask (formulated with diamond and pearl powder) so your skin will look positively radiant.

Promising review: “One of the best peel-off masks I have used. The scent is really light and pleasant, not overpowering. Skin definitely looks brighter and more radiant after use. Does not irritate my very sensitive skin, and it actually peels off very easily!!! There is probably enough for about 10 total applications. Will absolutely be purchasing again!” —Jennifer S.

Amazon

Promising review: “Was hesitant to buy these because my skin is sensitive, and I’ve just always believed the pricier the makeup/brushes, the better. Honestly, I haven’t had any issue with these, and in fact, they are probably better than the brushes I have from Sephora. The bristles don’t shed or come off on your face when you use them. Great quality for the price!” —Blair Niederhauser

Promising review: “I love this pour-over coffee maker. I’d been searching for that ‘perfect’ cup of coffee for years and I’m happy to say that I’ve struck gold with the Chemex. I have an expensive coffee maker and I have a single serve as well. I’ve never been completely satisfied with either of those even with high quality coffee and filtered water. The Chemex ‘brews’ extraordinary coffee; it’s easy to use and easy to clean. It’s a HIGH five!” —Ida S Moser

Promising review: “Slightly smaller than I imagined but so cute. It doesn’t initially feel hot when you heat it up but when you let it sit on you, you can feel the heat. My new BFF for the days when my cramps are intense. Also, my boyfriend likes to steal it and throw it in the freezer when I don’t want to crank the AC up.” —Lilwulf91

20. A rose gold detangling brush to be the fairy godmother you never had — it’ll make all your hair dreams come true.

ADVERTISEMENT

Amazon

ADVERTISEMENT

Promising review: “Being in the military makes me plaster my hair to my head, so trying to brush out my hair at the end of the day with all the product turns into another war in itself. For as long as I can remember, I have always used a normal brush. I also used to just brush (or rip) my hair out as if my hair took my man from me. Honestly, I don’t even know why I got the brush. It was a very impulsive, ‘oooh that’s shiny’ purchase, but oh my lawd am I so thankful for this brush. The first time I used it, I decided to try after work. This thing literally told my hair that everything was going to be okay. I also used to make a rug on my floor with my hair, and I also could have made a scarf with the hair that was left on my regular brush after three days. Not this bad boy!!! Just buy it… It’s shiny, it’s nice to your hair, your head, and your floor.” —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $11.74 (available in four colors).

23. A cookbook so gorgeous, it can double as a coffee table book. Hide this away on a bookshelf? Never! (Also, the recipes are delish and not overly complicated.)

ADVERTISEMENT

Amazon

Promising review: “Confession: I am a cookbook hoarder. I love to read them in bed, with my coffee in the morning, on Sunday afternoons curled up with my dog on the couch. And yes, sometimes I like to cook out of them, too. But let’s be honest, so many cookbooks these days are good for inspiration only when you live a normal, busy life and don’t have every spice under the stars in your pantry. This book, though, this book is good for EVERYTHING. Read it, read it again, cook out of it, cook out of it again. The recipes are inventive while still being approachable. It’s pure genius and everyone in my life will be receiving one for the holidays this year. BUY THIS COOKBOOK. DO IT. DO IT.” —A. Frank

Get it from Amazon for $22.28.

24. A pretty aromatherapy pendant to carry your fave essential oil with you at all times. The design just makes ~scents~.

Amazon

Promising review: “This necklace serves the purpose of being a convenient way to have immediate access to your favorite essential oils. It’s also very pretty and adds a nice decorative touch to an outfit. I love things that have dual purposes. If you are going to wear a piece of fashion jewelry, why not wear one that also provides you with aromatherapy? I got the antique bronze, and it has a vintage quality to it. Not a heavy piece; very lightweight, which I actually prefer. Who wants to be weighed down with a heavy piece around your neck? This would be a great gift for a friend or for yourself!” —LBC

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three finishes).
