A daily makeup staples set with a Boy Brow grooming gel, a blendable Cloud Paint cream blush, and Lash Slick mascara that is basically lash extensions in a bottle. Their new holy grail products await.
Glossier
Promising review: “I spent ages deciding if I would purchase this set, and was particularly apprehensive about the cloud paint but I am so glad that I went for it! This is my second purchase of Boy Brow in clear. It’s the perfect ‘my-eyebrows-but-better’ look. I’ve tried other brow products like this and none have been as good.The Lash Slick is so much better than I thought it would be (and I already thought it would be good) it gives you a perfectly natural-looking finish, again, your eyelashes but better. Perfect for minimalists. I spent ages looking into best Cloud Paint shade for my skin tone (I am fair with pink undertones) I went with ‘Puff’ in the end. I was very pleasantly surprised when I put it on, it looks so natural and not at all as pink as I thought it would be. Love it. You do only need a tiny bit.” —Rachel

Amazon
Promising review: “After months and months of debate. I finally decided to drop cable and go 100% streaming.

I haven’t fully dug into all the apps. But so far I’m highly satisfied. The set up was easy and I can always find something to watch.

Madewell, AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed
Promising review: “These are the best jeans I’ve ever owned in my 30 years on earth. I have very curvy legs, which is usually a problem because I have a pretty small waist.

A game of Kan Jam, an outdoor flying disc toss that guarantees an afternoon more competitive than the Olympics. This no-frills lawn game is simple: stop your opponent from hitting the “kan” on your side.
Amazon
“This is a game my friends have been playing at the beach since we were in high school — it’s always been a big hit. The rules are quite simple: break into two pairs but position yourselves across from one another. Then all you have to do is aim your Frisbee toss at the ‘kan.’ If your teammate deflects the Frisbee to hit the kan, you get one point. If the disc hits the kan on its own, that is two points. If your teammate taps the Frisbee into the kan that’s three points. If by some lucky chance you throw the disc RIGHT INTO THE SLOT, you win!” —Heather Braga

Versed
Promising review: “I’ve used other retinols and retinoids over the years, but was always turned off by the chemical smell and feeling that they were harsh on my skin. Not this one!

Amazon
Promising review: “After debating a nespresso purchase for a little while, I LOVE my vertuo next machine, especially the petite size. Doesn’t clutter the counter and very easy to use. My favorite thing is hands down the coffee. The intenso pod is probably one of the best coffees I have ever had. Better than most coffee houses. I appreciate my delicious coffee everyday. The only negative is I can’t figure out how to connect the machine to bluetooth. I didn’t buy it for that so it doesn’t make much of a difference to me. Highly recommend!” —Lauren

A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite with a built-in adjustable light that makes reading easy wherever they go — whether it’s a sun-drenched patio or their string lights-lit bedroom. Plus, a single battery charge lasts for weeks. It’s M-A-G-I-C.
Amazon
Promising review: “I couldn’t imagine ever finding something better than my beloved Kindle PaperWhite but I did… this new version. I only bought an updated version because, after four years of excessive use (at least 20-30 hours per week), a couple of pixels have died out on my original and it’s just slowing down. So, Merry Christmas to me, a replacement PaperWhite. This one is slightly slimmer and a bit lighter, and the flush front is well worth the upgrade, All of this just makes for even more comfortable reading. I also enjoy the free cellular connectivity. Overall, an improvement on what was pretty darn perfect to begin with!” —Missouri Shopper

Amazon
Promising review: “I got this for my teenage daughter, and it was both well-received and well-played! This is a quirky, funny and flexible game that beats the hell out of any electronic caca you might be considering as a gift. This little card game provides actual interaction in a light and funny way, plus allows (indeed encourages) a high amount of silly randomness. Very fun, and fine for two to four people. Don’t worry: no actual kittens were harmed in the making of this game. Several did barf rainbows, however.” —K. Jensen

A pair of Powerbeats headphones with crystal clear sound quality *and* a delightfully comfy design that will actually stay put in their ear. That’s right, folks! Earlobe sweat won’t make these splurge-worthy buds fall out.
Emma McAnaw / BuzzFeed
Promising review: “These Beats headphones have been a real game-changer for me. The sound quality is SO MUCH better than my cheap headphones, which has actually really improved my experience at the gym. I find it easier to stay motivated now that my music is *crystal clear* (and I can’t hear myself wheezing on the treadmill). I was worried it would be hard to connect their Bluetooth settings to my phone and computer (again…I can’t handle can openers), but the whole process is super self-explanatory. And they stay connected for pretty long distances — I can walk away from my phone to the other side of the room without interrupting my music.” —Emma McAnaw, BuzzFeed Editor

Amazon
This Instant Pot is basically seven kitchen tools in one! It can be used as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, cake maker, and warmer! It can also sauté, because #fancy.
Promising review: “This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is ‘What can’t it do?’ I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the three-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the eight-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot.” —Stereoman

Promising review: “I’ve tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome, the pump is quiet, as is the water, it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours in a day, use distilled water only and clean it periodically, and it’s running just like new after several weeks.

A sound machine to totally drown out noisy roommates and honking cars (aka, the inevitable background music that comes with being a city-dweller) for some more zen. This option fits compactly on their nightstand, has great volume control, and offers 10 fan sounds and 10 ambient noises.
Amazon
Promising review: “This sound machine has literally changed my life. Our neighbor likes to spend his mornings shoveling gravel on a cement surface with a metal shovel about five from my window (like 6 a.m. early) and to be honest, I was starting to have some pretty dangerous thoughts about stealing his shovel, breaking his arms, burning his house down…. One goes down some pretty dark paths when they suffer from insomnia already and then get woken up with a shovel scrapping down a sidewalk. Okay, so the machine somehow COMPLETELY covers the noise from the shovel, the toilet flushing next to my room, dogs barking, etc. It is incredible.” —MorAvFire
