A gorgeous 20-piece set of hair barrettes so you can upgrade your ‘do but also keep your hair out of your face.


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “These barrettes are the cutest thing! Which one to wear? I’ve already given a gift of one to friends. So much fun to share. They are even prettier in person! With COVID-19, it’s a beautiful way to keep hair out of your eyes and have fun too!” —Barbara T. Polce

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in two sets).


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “Girlfriend looks absolutely gorgeous in this. Absolutely looks like royalty and for the price — I’m amazed at how expensive it looks on her.” —Kirpal Forbes

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 colors).

3.

An embroidered floral dicky, because as we all know, birds of a feather…will end up on your collar.


Amazon

Promising review: “I absolutely love it. The elastic straps on the side are very high so that they land under your armpits, instead of being short and constricting your chest feeling like it’s gonna POP. I thought this would be irritating to my underarms, but I didn’t feel it at all. The collar lays like a dream. I am plus size and have a thick neck, and I can button it all the way up. I am thinking this needs hand-washing.” —Smoothie

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

4.

A pair of super cute blue-light–blocking metal frame eyeglasses because we’re all spending way too much time in front of screens nowadays.


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “With the virus going around, self-isolation means more tech use. I suffer from migraines and playing games for more than an hour would leave me feeling like I had a hangover. I wear these through four-hour D&D sessions, video games, even watching long movies at night. I haven’t felt screen fatigue once.” —alli baker

Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five frame options).

5.

Or this set of lightweight blue-light–blocking glasses that, yes, come with two different frames so you can mix it up a bit — keep people on their toes.


amazon.com, amazon.com

amazon.com, amazon.com

A lot of reviewers have pointed out that it’s actually a great way to cover up grays, tone blondes, or just extend your colorful ‘do.

Promising review: “Holy cow was I surprised — the red one actually worked on my brunette hair! Granted it only worked on the length that had been previously chemically treated/permed (and had started to slightly lighten) so my roots are still definitely not tinted red, but I love the color! Product is BRIGHT red coming out of the pump so I was a bit concerned the first time I put it in that it would look super unnatural, but it turned out more burgundy in my hair and with a very slight purple tint — so perfect! Even looks like I purposefully added low-lights because my roots are still darker. I’ve tried adding it while wet and dry, wet definitely doesn’t have as much of an effect (also noticed I used less product). It does start to fade after a while, but nice and quick (and so much cheaper than the salon) to add it back in! I have a lot of fine hair, so it might last me longer than others. So far I’ve only used just over half the bottle on two dry and three wet applications (waiting about 20–50 minutes depending how much patience I had that day). Wear gloves!! It’ll stain your hands applying it, but my shower hasn’t really shown anything from rinsing it out yet.” —Christie

Get it from Amazon for $21.60 (available in 18 colors and two sizes).

8.

A set of vinyl nail wraps to give yourself the perfect manicure without any smudging or waiting or dealing with having to paint the nails on your least dominant hand and just making a total disaster.

Amazon

The necklace lengths are 14″, 16″, and 18″ and come with a 3″ extender chain.

Promising review: “I am a very simple person. I only wear basic, solid colors. Very minimal accessories. I am able to dress up a very simple black outfit with these necklaces. I also like that they are not all connected so I can wear one or two at a time.” —Erica Gonzalez

Get them from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 11 options).

10.

A set of sturdy little headbands designed with resin teeth so they comb your hair out of your face while giving you a little volume.


Amazon

Promising review: “These are exactly as they look and described. I have very thick, curly hair and most of the combed headbands I have tried break very easily. The combs snap off or the material starts to unravel. These hold together very well and stay in place. They are also great for flyaways.” —Keri Overall

Promising review: “These scrunchies are awesome! They’re so soft and I was surprised at the good quality of the elastic. I wasn’t expecting much but these are definitely a step-up. I have wavy/curly hair about medium thickness, and two wraparounds was enough for a firm hold. Not too tight but also it doesn’t feel like it’s going to slip off. It also works great as a bracelet — you could literally match them with any outfit because of the variety of colors. A great value buy when stores are selling three scrunchies for the same price!” —X.E.

A dino-mite coated bronze T-rex necklace with a super-sweet and loving message printed on the packaging.


Amazon

Promising review: “I purchased this necklace as a gift for a friend who loves dinosaurs. It was super cute and the little saying on the paper is nice too. The T-rex itself is a little small but I liked that about it because it makes it more subtle when it’s worn (I tend to like nerdy jewelry that is more subtle until people really see it up close). The recipient loved it and put it on right away too. :)” —melrom
