If you’ve always wanted a pair of Ugg shoes but didn’t want to pay hundreds of dollars, you’re in luck! This pair from Koolaburra (the brand’s more affordable line) is just as cute and cozy as the more expensive models, with its suede uppers and faux fur lining. Plus, the EVA outsole means you can wear them indoors and outdoors, and if SJP is cool with it, so are we!
“Exactly what I wanted,” wrote one Fan. “They’re comfortable, warm, true to size…perfect for wearing around the house.” [or to] Take the dog out. Very durable for a variety of activities.”

A classic watch is always a gift winner, and this one from Timex is as classic as it gets. It has a genuine leather strap and an easy-to-read dial with a date window and lighting function. Plus, it’s water resistant!
“I love this watch – simple and classic, easy to read,” enthused a reviewer. “I’ve had it for over a year now with no problems. Recently I took it off to go into our hot tub and didn’t realize it fell in. I thought it had been lost, but a week later I found it at the spa – still working, on the correct date and in perfect condition. This watch can withstand anything.”

Celebrity-endorsed skin care can often cost a fortune. So if someone like SJP is a fan of a product that costs under $20, we pay attention! This popular vitamin C serum contributes to a more radiant complexion while helping to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles. The vast majority of clinical trial participants experienced visible results within a month.
“I’m impressed with this serum,” a admitted Convert. “I usually only use high quality facial products… This serum from RoC can put most of these products to shame. When you apply it you can see the instant glow it gives your skin. After a few weeks, wrinkles will be less visible.” (Of course they won’t go away.) You can feel how it tightens the skin. It’s moisturizing and doesn’t leave your face greasy, even if you apply the products in multiple layers like I do. In my opinion this is a must.”

This wheeled travel bag features an impressive number of compartments, including a waterproof pocket to keep shoes and wet items away from your clothes. And while storing hard-shell luggage can be a cumbersome task, this carry-anywhere bag makes off-season decluttering a breeze.
“I love this travel bag!” raved one Jetsetters. “I was skeptical because I wasn’t sure if it would break down on me, but I was so wrong! It survived a three week trip in Europe hopping on and off trains and planes and traipsing through the streets of many cities in the hands of my teenage children! I can highly recommend it!”

How does SJP keep her curls looking so luscious? Maybe it’s because of this volumizing spray, designed to add body and moisture to dry, thinning hair. It’s made with light minerals and proteins for a hold that doesn’t weigh you down.
One Buyerwho described it as a “stroke of luck” wrote: “I am 70 and have recently suffered from hair loss. This product gives me twice as much hair.”

This celeb-loved brand is known for its irresistible, sophisticated scents like Feu De Bois, which translates to “wood fire.” And that’s exactly how this beautiful candle smells with its cozy, rustic notes. If you light it up this winter, you won’t mind the terrible weather outside.
“Pure fireplace comfort!” exclaimed a Fan. “I’m nostalgic for the heavy air that emanated from a wood-burning fireplace I had as a child…Now that I’m in a city apartment, this candle is a real scent without causing a headache. Diptyque candles are more expensive, but they burn really beautifully and have scents that fill a room with a pleasant atmosphere, as opposed to annoying, chemical-like smells.

According to reviewers, this brush is like a massager for your scalp, gently yet effectively removing tangles without pulling out hair. It can also be used to distribute shampoo more evenly, allowing for better cleansing with less product.
“This brush is everything!” explained one enthusiastic customer. “Aside from feeling amazing on the scalp – it has two levels of bristles that you can only feel to understand the magic – it has also halved the amount of shampoo and conditioner I use. If I’m being honest, I bought into that idea.” I’d probably be disappointed. Now I don’t think I’ll ever be without it!”

Whether you’re traveling or just don’t feel like breaking out the ironing board, this mini steamer is just the thing. It heats up in seconds and has a water tank large enough for 18 minutes of use. Plus, it can be used on any fabric and even comes with a lint remover and fabric brush.
“Where has this been all my life?” a wondered happy buyer. “I leave the iron in my closet, plug it in and turn it on while I get dressed (it only takes 30 seconds to heat up, if that) and then steam my shirt with just the push of a button. What I like best is this.” You can use the iron or the front of the steamer directly on the clothes… I also do this for collars or particularly wrinkled parts of the clothes. There is a brush attachment that is easy to put on when steaming more delicate fabrics. This works like a charm and I barely use my regular iron and ironing board anymore. Easy to fill. Plus, if you hold it parallel to the ground, not a bit of water will leak out, almost too good to be true!”

This beautiful jade skincare set is the perfect gift, but treat yourself to one at this price! The roller has a refreshing, cooling effect and can be used on the face to relieve puffiness, while the gua sha tool is used to sculpt the jawline for more definition.
“I love this product!” fainted Five star reviewer. “Firstly, it feels great and is so relaxing. Secondly, it really helped me reduce my morning facial puffiness. If you are looking for a great gift for someone, this is really nice. …The jade roller feels really good on my eyes. Feels even better when it’s cold! I keep this box set in my fridge and it is just wonderful.”

Transform your home into a divinely scented oasis with this color-changing diffuser that doubles (triple?) as a humidifier and night light. It provides up to seven hours of continuous spraying and features seven LED light colors and four timer settings.
“It’s like a spa in my house,” wrote one impressed buyer. “It is easy to use and runs quietly. You can add as much oil as you like, giving you a light or strong scent. And if you fill the water all the way up, the device will run for six hours!” The colors are a nice touch. …Absolutely fantastic and much better than I expected. I run it in the living room so my house doesn’t smell like kids or pets.
Amazon
And to match your diffuser, this essential oil has a musky-sweet scent – it can also be dabbed onto your skin to minimize the appearance of lines and blemishes.
“I have some amazing essential oils, but when I opened this one and put it in my diffuser, a truly calming feeling filled my body,” one shared Zen user. “Hands down the best oil I own. I can’t explain how it instantly lifts my mood.”

Adding a little sparkle to your look doesn’t have to cost a whole paycheck—and these highly-rated stud earrings are proof of that. Each set has six different sizes and not only do they have a great shine, they are also 100% nickel and lead free.
“The diamonds look and feel so real,” a gushed Fan. “I’ve worn these for so long and they still look brand new. I get a lot of compliments on it.”
Amazon
You could call these magic candles – SJP was there Hocus pocus, finally! – but even if you don’t make any witchy plans, they are also ideal for birthdays and celebrations. The bright colors are unbeatable – and neither is the price!
“I love these candles!” wrote one satisfied buyer. “They burn evenly and completely every time. I’m very satisfied.”
