If you don’t try this platypus jar-scraping spatula by the end of the spring, you’re missing out.

Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for! Smells good, sweet,  moisturizing, but simultaneously has a light powdery feel. The color is also pretty long lasting! I have been looking for something to replace ColourPop's blotted lipstick, and I've finally found it!" —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $7.46+ (available in seven shades). 

Promising review: "I was worried at first because it's a very thin consistency, but oh my goodness, my skin is incredibly soft, and it lathered so well. The smell is a soft vanilla with woody undertones. It smells really good. It's better than the Dove body wash that is all the hype currently." —Jessica 

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five other styles). 

The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel.

Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

Promising review: "These mini ceramic vase magnets are the cutest addition to my fridge! Each ceramic vase is unique in shape and color, and the tiny plastic flowers fit perfectly.

Promising review: "We love this game. All the kids are adults and we have a raucous time playing this. it is so much fun; great family fun. The pace is fantastic.

Black Girl Sunscreen is a Black-owned small business that specializes in sun-protective products that don't leave a white cast. 

Promising review: "Best SPF lip gloss I’ve tried at a price you can’t beat. It keeps your lips moisturized long after it’s applied and has no white cast. I also have fairly sensitive skin and this has yet to cause any irritation on my lips which is a huge plus. It's generally impossible to find SPF 50 in any lip product, let alone in a gloss — I will purchase again for sure." —Ashlee Meckler

Promising review: "I'm normally a St. Ives girly but decided to give this a try and OMG!! If heaven had a scent it would be this. It leaves my skin feeling cotton soft and smelling amazing. Loving it!" —Latoya

Promising review: "I have had this spatula since 2022. I reach for this one consistently above all of my other spatulas, and also use this instead of a butter knife for spreading. I absolutely love this tool. I have arthritis in one hand from a surgery, and the shape of the platypus also helps with that. It cleans off very easily, and still looks brand-new." —Thomas Norton

Promising review: "I get compliments on these all the time! They are so cute and functional! They are easy to clean and help keep your straw clean, help with accidental spills, and keep bugs out in the summer! They are a must-have." —Amazon Customer

Psst — you can get this in the original Cheirosa 62 scents, *plus* three others! 

Promising review: "Lately, I've been wanting to find a signature fragrance versus just smelling clean. I tried several perfumes, including high end, and they just didn't seem to be a good fit with my body chemistry, or the smells just seemed to disappear. About a month ago, several ladies mentioned this brand on a group page and I decided to give it a shot. I've been testing it for a couple of weeks now and I am shook! It smells soooo good and EVERY TIME I wear it (especially if I layer the products in this set), I get complimented. EVERY SINGLE TIME! And my husband who never notices when I wear fragrances immediately came up to me, hugged me, buried his nose into my neck and told me I smelled amazing!" —LvrofAllThingsArt

Promising review: "The heat sneaks up on you! Super delicious. I like it in place of a spicy mustard. Flavorful, but with a sneaky, slow build heat. The mushroom is really subtle — but the umami flavor is there!" —Molly Leftwich 

Promising review: "I was going to buy the $80 one from UO, and decided to look for cheaper alternatives. I'm really happy with this lamp! The little remote with light settings and timer features is a nice addition. If you're thinking about buying this, I'd recommend you do!" —Jules F

Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical when I purchased, but these are actually fantastic. The taste is great and the bags make it incredibly easy to mix up what would otherwise be complex cocktails quickly and easily. I've had the spicy marg, espresso martini, and old fashioned versions, and while they aren't exactly the same as the original they are wonderful for making yourself a cocktail at home. Highly recommend." —Meredith

Promising review: "This product is so easy to use. Just toss a packet into the fire and watch the flames change color. The colors were beautiful and received a lot of oooooos and ahhhhhhs.

Promising review: "I love these! I don’t have a dishwasher so my roommates and I were using them daily, and they lasted about a month and a half each before we deemed them too gross to use anymore (although I’m sure you could use them for longer). They were very cute and did their job for a lot less money than the dog shaped Scrub Daddies would. Would buy again!" —Ashlynn
