Promising review: “Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I’d be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — it looked perfect with jeans too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet that are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!” —shinyliberty

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

Promising reviews: “Love these so so much. I wanted the chic Bottega Veneta designer pair, but these look exactly like those for less than $20. Deal of the century. They are comfortable and extremely well made and I seriously can’t get over the price. I’m thinking about buying another color because I love them so much.” —Kam
“Literal wow. These are incredibly nice glasses — not cheap at all and very well made. The material is thick and of obvious quality. Buying these for gifts is awesome.” —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $12.79 (available in 14 lens colors).
4. A set of French tip press-on nails that’ll make it look like you just got a $100 fresh set from the salon — but you actually just took them out of a box and glued them on. These nails come in different shapes, sizes, and pink or brown base shades so you can make them look super natural. Reviewers say when applied properly, they can last for up to two weeks!
Promising review: “They are amazing! I buffed out my nails, cleaned up the cuticle, cleaned them with an alcohol pad and then applied the nails. I used them with the beginner’s solid glue by the brand and cured it and then applied a top coat and cured. They literally look so good in person!! I just ordered the XS almond ones and will try those next. They feel very sturdy!” —Andrea Romero
Get a 300-piece set from Amazon for $29.59+ (available in 11 sizes/styles).
5. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, which will have your hair feeling like it’s on cloud nine. This hair mask is infused with collagen and protein extracts — after applying to wet hair and sitting for only five minutes, your hair will be completely transformed. Think Olaplex (without the $$$).
According to reviewers, this mask works on fine hair, curly hair, and type 4 hair.
Promising review: “Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!” —BB
Get it from Amazon for $8.40.
6. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings if you want the luxe look of Bottega Veneta without the luxe price tag. These earrings are the perfect accessory to elevate your look, and reviewers say they’re so lightweight and comfortable, some even forgot they had them on.

Smirly is the small business behind these charcuterie boards — check out their store page for more cute gift ideas for people who love to host and cook!
Promising review: “This was a last-minute purchase for a party we hosted and the charcuterie was a hit! I loved the ramekins, spots for nuts and more, and the knife set is higher quality than what you would expect for the price point. Sharp and heavy. I do wish the ramekins were a little bit deeper, they’re quite shallow and probably meant for jams and honey but I wanted to use them for pickles and olives. I made them work, but it’s worth mentioning. The board was easy to clean and the small forks were a great accessory. I ended up using the fruit tray to hold a dip and crackers, it’s super versatile. I highly recommend this board for your own kitchen or as a gift!” —Gina DeLand
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (utensils and serving bowls come in six different colors).
8. A marble board wire cheese cutter elegantly serving as both decor and a full-fledged kitchen tool. Imagine the oohs and ahhs as your guests marvel at the beauty of the marble board and the ease of cutting through the cheese.
Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action.
Promising review: “My mother-in-law had purchased one last year and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get togethers with friends and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it’s mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick.” —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $18.76 (available in two colors).
9. A wide-leg pants and matching blouse set that’s practically screaming “yacht day ‘fit” for the next topical getaway. Plus, with all the colors it comes in, you *could* snag a few sets for ~options~ throughout the week.
Promising review: “I was amazed with this outfit. I bought it very last minute for a six-day family cruise trip…and oh boy do I wish I would have bought more in different colors. The fit was just as I imagined it. The material, the fit, comfort. Easy to dress up or dress down. 20/10 would recommend and will definitely be buying more.” —Ralf and Jacky Artigas
Get it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in women’s sizes XS–4XL Plus and 33 colors).
10. A handheld milk frother available in luxe styles like walnut and crystal quartz that’ll make you feel (and look) like a barista in your own kitchen.

Just don’t forget to pick up some AA batteries at the same time, or who knows when you’ll actually get around to using it.
Promising review: “Beautiful frother. Excellent quality and froths so well! I mix my collagen powder and oat milk and it makes my coffee taste even better! I love making lattes as they come out perfect. Love this frother and highly recommend it to everyone! The best one on the market!!” —WSBlue430
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 44 styles).
11. A sleek time-marked water bottle to help you stay on track with your hydration throughout the day, especially if you typically live off Celsius and iced coffees. But can we get into how beautiful this bottle is? Perf for the people who tend to drink more when it’s out of a cute cup (it’s me, I’m people).
Promising review: “Saw it on TikTok and thought it would be a great bottle for work. It is very sleek and lightweight enough to carry when you have other items in your hand. I love the modern look, and it cleans very easily! The time increments really do motivate, definitely ordering again for myself and gifts. Fast delivery and very nice packaging.” —Rosa
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
12. An elevated laptop tote bag for the corporate baddie, making you feel like you’ve got your life together even on the most hectic days. With its ample spacious compartments, this stylish piece will keep all your essentials (laptop, makeup bag, books, and more) organized and within reach. Some reviewers even compare this to (and favor it over) the Béis Work Tote that sells for $128!
Promising reviews: “It’s much more spacious than it looks. It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome.” —Su
“Purchased for my daughter, who is an attorney. She said she really likes it and has gotten many compliments on it from her peers.” —J Cliett
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in nine styles).
13. A dazzling tennis bracelet that’ll sparkle with all the “ice” from those dazzling crystals when it catches the light, making everyone who passes by do a double-take. This bracelet is so stunning, you’d swear it’s straight out of a Tiffany’s showcase (but it didn’t even set you back 20 bucks).
Promising review: “I LOVE this bracelet!!! It looks so expensive and is heavy duty. If you want a tennis bracelet without spending thousands of dollars, I HIGHLY recommend this!” —Gabby Little
Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in three lengths and finishes, as well as a two-pack).

Promising reviews: “The scarf feels and looks expensive. It came with a guide on different ways to tie/wear it. I’ll definitely be ordering it in several more styles!” —Amanda D.
“These beautiful scarves are lovely, soft and very lightweight. They are great for spicing up my travel wardrobe and perfect to take with me on my cruise to Italy! They arrived packed with care and a gracious note from the owners of the company. I will definitely buy from them again!” —Marilyn B
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in various designs and multipacks).
15. A pair of sandals that are channeling Hermès vibes but *won’t* burn a hole in your wallet. Instead, you’ll just be strutting your stuff glamorously.
Promising review: “I love it! Thank god I read the reviews first before deciding which size to get because my usual size is US 7.5, but the reviews say to size up, so I did. I ordered a size 8, and it fits me well. I have wide feet, maybe that is why it gets narrow on the ‘H’ part. But overall, I love it! It’s a perfect alternative for the Hermès Oran!”—Patricia A.
Get it from Steven Madden for $59.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and in 12 colors).

Promising review: “These curtains are beautiful! They’re even more beautiful in person. Love the velvet touch, plus the emerald color looks so elegant. Before you hang them, I would advice you steam them to get the wrinkles out. I can’t wait to get another color! You’ll be happy with your purchase.” —Alex

Promising review: “These are the fourth pair of these I have purchased because my teenagers end up loving them and I give mine to them. The quality is better than those coveted AirPods. Every person that I have try them ends up buying a pair. I HIGHLY recommend.” —Aprile Wood

Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: “Wow I honestly had low expectations, but love this skirt! It became a staple in my closet and I’m not one to wear colors or many prints. So silky and smooth, so comfy. Got so many compliments. The band doesn’t dig in and doesn’t look awkward. I can’t wait to get it in different colors.” —Daria Z.

21. A captivating, cult-favorite luxury-scented candle if you’re looking for a signature scent to elevate your space like it’s a 5-star hotel. This jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend is sophisticated and even smells divine without being lit, reviewers say.
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: “I was staying over at a friend’s house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table and even though it wasn’t lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don’t know how to even explain the scent but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you. The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent.” —Melissa I.

Promising review: “We have a 160-year-old home with 12-foot plaster ceilings! These lights were great because we didn’t have to tear up walls to run wiring and also because they are powerful enough to illuminate the whole length of the wall. Very aesthetic! Highly recommend!” —Ameila Von
Get them from Amazon for $28.99 (available in 14 colors, two sizes, and rechargeable or battery-powered styles).
23. A popular checkerboard throw blanket giving Barefoot Dreams cozy vibes but at a fraction of the price. Not only does this chic throw add the perfect pop of personality to any room, but it’s also soooo soft that one reviewer compares it to the feel of fuzzy socks (that you can wrap your entire body in).
Promising review: “This blanket beats others because it is softer (a buttery and fluffy feeling), it is long enough for a 5’10” tall person, it is not too light and not too heavy (works year-round in Virginia), and it has a stretch to the material that I haven’t experienced with other soft blankets. The design is just so-so, but the colors are nice, and the price is right. If they updated the designs with more colors, patterns, then these would be absolutely perfect. I like this as much as my much more expensive Barefoot Dreams blanket and Williams Sonoma faux-fur blanket.” —JH
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six colors and three sizes).

These artificial flowers are made out of a silk material that mimics the look and feel of real flower petals. The best part: They never need water and will stay “alive” and beautiful forever.
Promising review: “They look so real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and are shocked to learn these are not real.

Love the designs on the side and that they are stackable, so I don’t have to worry about them slip-sliding in the cabinet. They are great for coffees, ice cream, puddings, etc. Everyone who sees them when I bring them out ends up complimenting them. They feel substantial without feeling clunky. Will continue to give as gifts.” —Kathleen

28. A set of amber soap dispensers that’ll give your bathroom or kitchen counter a luxe aesthetic (even if they’re filled with soap you got at the dollar store). Plus, refilling these is cheaper than buying new bottles of hand soap every time you run out!
