You deserve a pretty lil’ treat like this oh-so-sweet light up hummingbird or these cult-fave mochi gummies.
1. A pair of gorgeous kitchen shears that are as functional as they are stunning — reviewers love these all-purpose, super sharp blades for cutting everything from meat and fruit to opening packages and wrangling with complicated wrapping.
Promising review: “I had a toddler I have to cut everything up for, and these scissors have made my life INCREDIBLY easier. I cut PB&J into perfect squares and grapes into three pieces effortlessly with these scissors. It cuts chicken and other meats simply. They’re sharp, safe, and so affordable too. Don’t look elsewhere; these are the best!” —Adrian
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight styles and four sizes).
2. A nine-pair set of hypoallergenic golden hoop earrings because sometimes you have to get the outfit vibe just! right!!! which means mixing things up from your usual go-to hoops (bless their overworked hearts). This gives you plenty of affordable, chic options so you can try out a different set every day of the week.
Promising review: “I’m picky when it comes to jewelry and love these. They haven’t tarnished on me at all or hurt my ears, and the gold color isn’t tacky looking. Love the variety and you can’t beat the pricing. Also, a great gift!” —Marisa
Get a set of nine from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in silver and rose gold).
3. A pair of cozy wireless over-the-ear headphones designed to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playing time per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price.
iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories.
Promising review: “They’re comfortable, hold a charge really well, and actually work really well in terms of noise cancellation. My daughter can be sitting next to me talking and I can barely even hear her. I almost prefer these in terms of sound quality to my Gen 1 AirPods as well. Easy to charge, easy to pair, very lightweight, and fit is adjustable. I’m very impressed with these headphones!” —Samantha H.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors).
4. A sweet-as-pie vintage-style jewelry catch-all complete with little bow details, so you can lean ALL the way into your coquette era. 🎀
Reviewers say to pay attention to the measurements, because it’s smaller than they assumed!
Promising review: “Charming and elegant. This looks so expensive. I gave it to my mother for her birthday, and she was quite impressed. She uses it as a place to put her rings when she is doing things in the kitchen. It’s the perfect size, and she was very impressed. I didn’t want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn’t that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?” —NMW
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three styles).
5. An absolutely gorgeous, delightfully affordable statement chair your living room deserves THIS! INSTANT!! before it runs the risk of falling into the amorphous griege blackhole that comes with the ~minimalist~ aesthetic these days. This comfy piece is so beloved by Wayfair reviewers that it has over 2,000 5-star reviews!
Promising review: “I got this after looking at it for about a year. The sale was too good to pass up, and I wasn’t sure I’d really have room for it. It’s gorgeous!!! I love it! Super easy to put the legs on with the included Allen wrench. I’m so glad I got it!” —Lainie
Get it from Wayfair for $154.99 (originally $399; available in seven styles).
6. A lightweight embroidered jacket that somehow makes a statement while matching everything in your closet, making it so perfectly layerable that the outfit potential is infinite. As an added bonus, reviewers say this makes an *excellent* lookalike to the version at a more expensive mall brand 👀.
Promising review: “GIRRRRRLLL — YES!!! Obsessed with this!!! The fit is interesting — I got a medium as suggested for an oversize fit, but honestly I think a large would have been better for me. I still love this jacket, though — quality is amazing, and it’s such a stand out piece!” —Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $52.71 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in women’s sizes XS–XXL and 10 styles).
7. A cute-as-a-button portable pill container with seven deep compartments and a handy dispenser lid to make it easier than ever to pop out vitamins and medications on the go.
Promising review: “This is the best pill container I have found. It holds a month’s worth of pills in each compartment and is compact and easy to store and travel with. It is very sturdy and I don’t have to worry about the cap opening accidentally. The enclosed labels are a bonus, and the see-through exterior makes it easy to see how many pills are left. I keep it on my nightstand and it doesn’t take a lot of space.” —TA
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles).
8. A dreamy dimmable candle-warmer lamp so you can waft your favorite candles throughout your space in the most aesthetically pleasing (and safe!) way possible.
Promising review: “I bought this on a whim, and I’m hooked. I love the timer and dimmer features. So far, the lamp works great. It doesn’t put out a lot of heat, and I love that you can adjust the light. This is now going to be my go-to gift.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in 10 styles).
9. A luxe reversible satin sleeping bonnet for anyone who wants the best in comfort, use, AND aesthetic. This not only protects your curls and hairstyles overnight, but features an adjustable strap and soft elastic, so not only does it STAY PUT, but it doesn’t leave creases on your forehead in the morning. Hats off to this bonnet!!
Promising review: “Best bonnet ever! Cute, comfy, practical and good quality. I had this very same one six years ago. When it wore down I replaced it with the same one. My other bonnets had straps that dangled awkwardly on my forehead. This one has a seamless strap and it adjusts well. And not once has it fallen off my head in the middle of the night. Get it!” —Shalimar
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in 14 styles).
10. A beautifully illustrated undated planner perfect for anyone trying to get their life in order this fall, but with a dash of ~whimsy~ to keep you motivated. Each week changes over to a new flower theme to keep the vibe light and lovely even when your schedule is anything but.
Promising review: “Perfect size. Each page is a beautiful work of art. I cannot wait to start using it! Absolutely love it!” —Karla Ramirez
Get it from Amazon for $8.89+ (available in two styles).
11. A leopard print satin maxi skirt you’ll be SO glad you bought early on this season — not only does the elastic waist and breezy fabric make this a dream, but leopard print is making quite the ferocious comeback this fall, making it the perfect option to pair with all your neutral staples for a fun twist.
I bought this in anticipation of fall and LOVE the fabric and the waistband — it’s thin and well-structured enough that it’s phenomenally easy to pair with crop tops and regularly-hemmed tops alike. I am especially eager to start pairing it with chunky sweaters when the weather cools down. I’m 5’4″ and would only feel comfortable wearing this with a biiiit of a heel, so if you’re on the shorter side, you may want to get it hemmed!
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in women’s sizes S–XXL and ten styles).
12. An oh-so-sweet hummingbird lamp with three brightness levels and a touch sensor that reviewers love using as a reading light, a wind-down light, or a nursery light. Bonus: it also functions as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its head.
Promising review: “I literally have no idea why I bought this. It was a suggested item and looked interesting so I was like ‘lol okay.’ I can’t believe how much I like it LOL. It looks and feels much nicer than you’d think and the battery lasts forever. It has three shades of light and it’s extremely bright.” —K
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
13. A set of delightfully versatile colorful mixing bowls you can get in all kinds of styles as an investment in all your baking, cooking, and cuteness needs for years to come. Bonus: these nest for easy storage, have spouts for easy ingredient transfer, *plus* they’re dishwasher safe!
Promising review: “I love these mixing bowls. The packaging is very beautiful. The bonus for me is the black rings in the bottom to prevent the bowls from sliding around on the counter when you’re mixing/whisking. I bought them to make pancakes, but I use them for everything now. The set is a nice upgrade from using a regular soup bowl for mixing.” —Sarita
Get the set of four from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 10 styles).
14. A chic shoulder bag that fans of Bottega Veneta will love as an affordable alternative to the $$$ name brand version. This is the perfect size for quick errands or a night out, both because it’s versatile to go with juuuust about anything and boasts a surprising amount of space.
15. A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon’s Align … but WAY cheaper. If you’re looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these.
Promising review: “Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workout. Highly recommended!” —Criselle Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $26 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in women’s sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 19 styles).

Psst — snag them in other colors and sizes on Roro’s Amazon storefront!
18. A set of colorful-striped cotton dishrags to add a pop of cheerful whimsy to your kitchen space, even on days when cleaning is the last thing on your mind. Now you can pop on a happy playlist and get the job done faster than ever — reviewers are in love with how ultra-absorbent, durable, and soft these are.
Promising review: “I really like these washcloths! They are durable, absorbent, rinse out well, and do the job of cleaning dishes and counters. The colors and pattern is very fun! I like that the pattern is darker and striped, so when I clean up coffee stains or other darker stains, the washcloth doesn’t show any stains. They rinse out well and do not smell mildew like other washcloths I’ve used. These are fantastic and I’m so glad I found them!” —carol Z
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $13.69 (available in four styles).
19. A classic herringbone necklace so close in style to the Tiffany HardWear version that you might blink and mistake it for the real thing (imagine being able to drop 13,000 human dollars on a necklace though, MY STARS).
Amazon
Promising review: “I’ve been thinking about purchasing the Tiffany version of this necklace, but when I saw this one, I decided to purchase it. So glad I did. It is beautiful and very substantial. When I first put it on, couldn’t believe the weight, in a good way. Feels and looks expensive, and the color of the gold is perfect, in my opinion; not too yellow or orangey. Love, love, love this necklace!!!” —FAXA10
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in five styles).
20. A set of pink-accented glass food prep containers, because if you’re going to be all organized and financially responsible with your ~meal prep goals~, you deserve to get to do it as cutely and functionally as possible. These not only have leakproof, easy-to-snap lids, but the containers are microwave, freezer, dishwasher, AND oven safe.
Promising review: “Ditch the plastic containers. These are FANTASTIC. I LOVE how the lids snap onto the container to keep food fresh and smells out! I now have three sets of these because I freeze foods as well, and they work great.” —Mary W.
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $32.99 (available in four styles).
21. A marble board wire cheese cutter to serve as half decor, half kitchen tool, and 100% the biggest hit at any wine-and-cheese night when you let guests slice their own cheese with it.
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 $18.05 (available in two colors).
22. A bag of intriguingly aesthetic, wonderfully delicious mochi gummies you can get in a whole host of delicious flavors as your next Little Treat (TM).
Promising review: “These are great for a quick treat that won’t hurt your teeth. The flavor is not overpowering. The texture was good, nice and soft, easy to chew, powdered but not overwhelming. I think of this as the perfect travel snack, I could see myself eating them on a road trip or in an airplane.” —Jessica Petite
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in nine flavors and in six-packs).
23. A set of pastel glitter highlighters I saw on Instagram recently and NEARLY BLACKED OUT from the cuteness.

24. A scallopped wicker tray for a perfect way to add a central focus to your decor, whether it’s coastal cowgirl, breezy beach babe, or romantic old soul.
Promising review: “This scalloped tray is the perfect addition to my entryway table. The seagrass color is just as pictured and goes nicely with a variety of decor.
