There’s something magical about socks that actually stay put and remind you to “Be You” while you’re at it. These non-slip grip socks are perfect for yoga, pilates or just lounging around the house without sliding across hardwood floors. Made with natural cotton for breathability and featuring elastic arch support, they turn any home workout into a more stable, comfortable experience.

Dolly Beauty / Dolly Beauty

The Perfect Lip: $14

A perfectly defined lip can make you feel put-together even on your most casual days. This satiny, layerable lip liner from Dolly Parton Beauty (yes, the Dolly Parton!) prevents your lipstick from feathering and keeps your lips looking polished all day long. For the ultimate hydrated lip, pair it with La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast Lips balm ($9.99) underneath for moisture that lasts. And if you want to kick it up a notch for a night out, add a touch of SHEGLAM’s Crystal Jelly Glaze Stick ($7.19) for some sparkle that catches the light beautifully.

Igloo / Igloo

Igloo Reusable Ice Packs With Personality: $13

Say goodbye to boring ice packs that take up precious freezer space. These adorable Hello Kitty-shaped ice blocks are reusable, refreezable and actually make cooling your drinks fun. Perfect for lunch boxes and small coolers, these can be used over and over. At under $13 for a two-pack, they’re a sweet way to add some personality to the practical.

OOLY / OOLY

OOLY Scratch Art Kit: $6.50

Sometimes you need to disconnect from screens and reconnect with simple creativity. These scratch art kits let you reveal vibrant colors and patterns with just a stylus, making them perfect for stress relief or mindful moments. The Peanuts collaboration ($8.95) is super nostalgic, and the whole experience is surprisingly meditative. Keep one at your desk for when you need a five-minute creative break.

Diaspora Spice Company / Diaspora Spice

Diaspora Co. Golden Spice Blend for Lattes: $13

Transform your morning coffee routine with a premium golden milk spice blend. This isn’t just turmeric powder — it’s a carefully crafted mix that creates the most vibrant, delicious golden latte you’ve ever tasted. At just $13 for 45 grams, it turns dozens of ordinary mornings into something special. The ritual of making golden milk becomes a moment of self-care that sets a perfect tone for the entire day.

POSCA / POSCA

POSCA Markers: $13.57

Making art makes everything better, and when it comes to making art, beautiful markers are key. A set of high-quality markers that flow smoothly and don’t skip can genuinely improve your mood every time you create. Grab some paper, a poster board or even some canvas and let your inner Picasso shine. 

Formulary 55 / Formulary 55

Formulary 55 Sea Salt and Lavender Shea Butter Bar: $12

Your hands touch everything, so why not treat them to something special? A beautifully scented, moisturizing soap bar turns every hand-washing session into a mini spa moment. Choose something with natural ingredients and a scent that makes you smile — we particularly love this lavender and sea salt one. It smells like just wildflowers by the ocean. And after you wash your hands, make sure to use a moisturizing hand cream — we love Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Touch Hand Cream ($16) because it’s the perfect hydrating formula, so your hands feel and smell like a dream!

Amazon / Amazon

Bedsure Satin Pillowcase ($8.99)

Wake up with smoother hair and fewer sleep lines with a satin pillowcase. The gentle fabric reduces friction while you sleep, making this a beauty treatment that works while you rest. It’s the kind of upgrade that makes you feel pampered every single night. And who doesn’t want that?
