Promising review: “It’s pretty advanced, which I like. With all the different scenes, it makes it harder and more fun! And it’s waaay bigger than I expected (I didn’t check the measurements). Overall, perfect for a Friends fan!” — Amina
Don’t forget to also get them some food coloring so they can really bring their creations to life.
Promising review: “I was highly impressed when it came in. It’s well made and sturdy, can be used to cook other things (as it is a griddle), and the templates made it super easy. We had a blast making them. All you need is batter and food coloring.” — jessee
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
Promising review: “Sound quality and durability is very good! I like the ability to change the artwork on the cover, the ability to change the brightness of the image, the ability to change the volume of the startup/connect/disconnect, the auto-shutoff and auto-sleep mode toggles, and the ability to set multiple alarms (available on the app only, sadly, not out of the box). There’s surprisingly a lot you can do with such a seemingly simple device, and it’s made more than a great replacement alarm clock for me, which is initially what I bought it for. Highly recommend if you’ve got the extra coin to spend on something cute, fun, and practical!” — Soul Breaker
Promising review: “I love it! They work great and are so cheerful! I don’t really care if they stop working in a month. They’ll bring me endless delight until then!” — Gertrude Cooper
Promising review: “I’m using the sifter for metal detecting in waist-deep water. It’s really rugged. If you’ve seen one of those thick plastic kayaks, this thing is just like one of those. It can take a beating. The size is perfect. I can dump 2–3 shovels full of sand in it, and it still stays afloat. A few shakes to sift out the sand, and there’s your target. Comes with a leash so it won’t float away.” — SEEK and DETECT

Promising review: “This is a beautiful set! It has good quality pieces and is packaged nicely! The colors are nice, and look great on my bookshelf. These would make great gifts. Totally worth it! I love them!” — Teresa Fernandez
Promising review: “For Trader Joe’s lovers everywhere, this is a fantastic cookbook! It is filled with hints and tips, shopping guidelines, nicely organized recipe categories, and beautiful mouthwatering pictures. I love how the recipes note if they are gluten-free or vegetarian, etc. I ❤ Trader Joe’s and I ❤ this cookbook!” — Love My Bookish Life
Promising review: “The surface is large, but it can be rolled up and stored away in two minutes! The holes are slightly elevated (to create the holes) but negligible; unlike the one I had a long time ago that returned the ball. I like the shape of the mat (looks way more natural than a rectangular long strip) and the surface is soft and comfortable, yet it feels durable. I have no doubt I can make things more challenging by elevating certain areas underneath if I so desired. The ‘sand trap’ is also an excellent inclusion as it stops the golf balls from escaping the mat and keeping me from chasing down golf balls. Hopefully it can interest my kids to get off the electronics for a few minutes now and then, and if so, it will deserve an extra star. — Oniomaniac
Promising review: “My 10-year-old daughter requested this because she was interested in finding out more about Japan. We had a one-hour tasting party on the living room floor and we compared the snacks to each other and to American snacks. We loved some, and we hated some. She took some duplicates to school and shared them with her friends. You can tell a lot about the culture by common flavors, textures, packaging, serving sizes, and a lot of other things that we saw in this box.” — Amazon Customer
Promising review: “We love this author and are big fans of her pet-focused work with BuzzFeed, so we had to check out this book! It’s so fun and very well written! If you’re into astrology, this is an awesome read!!” — Amber
Promising review: “We’ve only opened the first rock but I’m already impressed. Normally these end up being duds but this one was really spectacular and large! My son is 4 and he’s excited to open the rest for his collection.” — Heremeow
Promising review: “This was a fun plant. My kids enjoyed watching the leaves pull up and then spread back out. I even mailed one to a family member so they could try it out. I would buy this again!” — Nene582

Promising review: “So cute and I love that it turns on when it senses it is dark. Would also make a cute gift! Could be brighter, but it is perfect for what I was looking for and adds fun to my home.” — Julie
Promising review: “The perfect night-light for my son’s Star Wars room! He loves it and uses it at bedtime every night. It’s not too bright but also not too dull. Very cool night light to have for any Star Wars or Darth Vader fans!” — Robert Marshall
This is top-rack dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: “This is one of my favorite kitchen gizmos and it doesn’t take up room in the drawer! I eat lots of olives and this keeps me from having to wash or get a clean fork when I’m in the middle of making a salad or just want a snack, and it makes spearing the olives easier too. It comes with two sizes to fit any jar (even though if you need this I feel like you probably get the big jars right?). They are stretchy and easy to get on and off. I usually just rinse it between uses and then wash the whole set up when I open a new jar (which is about weekly).” — Emily
Sun Sprinkles Shop is a small business based in Saint Johns, Michigan that sells vases, earrings, stickers, and more!

Comes with some recipes for inspo.
Promising review: “I’m gadget-obsessed and bought this on a whim, and I’m pretty impressed. I used Pam spray, English muffins, ham, cheese, and an egg. I heated it up a little past the recommended time, set a timer for five minutes, used tongs to lift up the compartments, and whaddya know! A perfect, cute little sandwich! I pulled it out with a plastic spatula and set it on a tiny cookie rack to cool so the bottom wouldn’t get soggy. Nothing leaked, nothing stuck. Very compact and tidy. Let the contraption cool, then rinse and wipe.” — Amazoniac
Promising review: “This assembled in a jiffy and looks great in my window. So glad I chose it for the future home of my herb garden. The pots are a good size, and the cord looks sturdy and generously sized (you can just wrap around the bar a few times to shorten it). Note that there are no holes in the pots if you’re looking for drainage. But of course, that’s why baby Jesus made power tools.” — Cautionary Tales
Promising review: “This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well-crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches, like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it — it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope. Every day, my whole living room becomes a party 🙂 Cannot recommend enough.” — Phil
According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.
Promising review: “I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days even with it running daily. It’s a solid 12/10 from me.” — Violet
Promising review: “Bought this for an activity for my daughter’s 10th birthday!! OMG!!! You would have thought (enter your favorite celebrity here) showed up!! The kids loved it! It was easy to do for the kids…but make sure YOU COVER EVERYTHING YOU DON’T WANT TIE-DYED!! Great product!!” — Dani Josh lane
Promising review: “I give 1 star…hardcover is too hard. Just kidding! I give this 5 stars. Without a doubt, this is my favorite coffee table book and surprisingly also super educational. Perfect combination of sassy and informative while poking fun at 1-star reviews of some amazing national parks. I love, love all the added educational snippets along with the review illustrations. And Amber’s writing style is so personal and relatable I feel like we could be friends. Such a fun book, so worth the buy!” — Anna

Algis Crafts is a family-owned small business that sells handmade embossed rolling pins, personalized cutting boards, and more!
Promising review: “I actually purchased these rolling pins for making designs in clay/pottery so that is what I am using them for. They make beautiful designs in the clay!” — Amazon Customer
Promising review: “My best friend is always telling me new facts about the most random things so when I saw this, I knew it had to be added to his bookshelf. And let me tell you the list of random facts keeps on coming. Yeah, yeah, I know…the internet…but sometimes it’s nice to disconnect from technology and read a real book. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.” — Gregory
Promising review: “I bought this as a gift. It’s small enough to not get in the way and clamps down securely on the desk. It gives a satisfying spring/bounce when you punch it, but it is stiff enough that it’s not flying around and hitting everything else on the desk. For what it is, I’m happy with it.” — Jen
Promising review: “Just got this puzzle for something to do at home over the holidays. Seriously…I have never seen a puzzle quite like this! It’s very impressive and exceeded my expectations already. The packaging is beautiful inside and out. Everything about it shouts quality. I particularly liked the envelopes inside for the puzzle pieces and mystery. Heavyweight and substantial. The one holding the 1,000 puzzle pieces stays closed with Velcro! How cool! And the secret mystery envelope has a cool string loop tie. Makes you remember you can’t open it until the puzzle is done. The whole vibe of The Mystic Maze is quality and fun and it also looks like a challenging puzzle. Looking forward to getting started on this. Certainly a good stay-home fun activity. Highly recommend!” — Kyle Fletcher
KC Cups is a woman-owned small business based in Kansas that sells personalized engraved tumblers.
This gift is approved by BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly: “I got these cuties for two of my friends who bought houses in late 2020 with their cities personalized on them. Basically no one is as obsessed with Housewives as I am, but lots of our group chats entail rehashing the latest eps (except RHOC bc, let’s face it, it’s awful). So when my colleague Heather Braga put this tumbler in her gifts for Bravo fans, I couldn’t wait to order them. They’ve both received them and LOVE them. One friend cried! But a good cry.”
