We Put It to the Group Chat . . . and These Feel-Good Winners Won Big |
It's officially that time of year — Spotify Wrapped, journals are being filled with reflections of the year, and the rush to accomplish all of our 2025 goals before Jan. 1 is well underway. As your trusted shopping friends, we'd be remiss not to give you our edition of 2025 in review, and our expert team of editors came up with the best method: our very own awards. Yep, that's right. Months in the making, our 2025 Feel-Good Awards is here, a first-of-its-kind celebration of the products that delivered a hit of dopamine this year, when the world needed it most. Think everything that brought a smile to our faces this year, testing 2,138 items across five categories — beauty, health, fitness, sex, and home. For our editor-in-chief, Kelsey Castañon, it's a cozy blanket. Our senior style director, Jessica Andrews, found the perfect gadget for meal prep, and shopping director Sarah Wasilak stays hydrated during her hot-girl workouts with a super high-tech water bottle. Meanwhile, shopping editor Haley Lyndes actually finds pleasure in opening her closet, thanks to a set from The Container Store. And for our beauty mavens, beauty lead Jessica Harrington and assistant shopping editor Naomi Parris, it's a lip mousse and viral perfume, respectively. Every product brought us joy, and we hope they will bring you some too. |

Cozy Earth Channel Cuddle Blanket ($174, originally $248) I want to live under this Cozy Earth blanket — and, considering the fact that my landlord still hasn't turned on the heat in my apartment, I may just need to. — Kelsey Castañon |

|
| Thermomix® TM7™($1,699) As someone whose kitchen is overrun with gadgets at this point, Thermomix's T7 comes at the perfect time. I spend my weekends meal-prepping, and this just makes everything so much easier, quicker, and hassle-free — and best of all, cuts down on dishes. It's the smartest investment I've made in a while. — Jessica Andrews |

|
Maybelline Cloudtopia Cheek and Lip Mousse ($10) The pigment! The texture! These are little multipurpose pots of whipped perfection. Monochromatic makeup is so in right now and using one of these on your cheeks and lips for a blurred wash of color is so chic. — Jessica Harrington |

|
| HidrateSpark Pro 2 ($56, originally $70) The HidrateSpark keeps you accountable by constantly reminding you to drink water throughout the day, but not in an aggressive way. You can control the settings via the accompanying app, which is super-intuitive and easy to operate. While you do have to charge the "scale" on the bottom of the water bottle, it has a long battery life so I'd hardly call that an issue given the bottle's wildly smart capabilities. — Sarah Wasilak |
|
| The Container Store Cambridge Sheet Set Organizer ($15) This is such a lifesaver for my linen closet. Before, it was a total disaster — sheets everywhere, no room for anything, just chaos. Now? These organizers have completely transformed it. Everything actually has a spot, and honestly, I kind of love opening the closet.. — Haley Lyndes |

|
| Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum ($180) This scent is way more musk than I usually like, but I'm a fan! It's bursting with amber, which surprisingly pairs well with my vanilla-esque scents. It definitely makes me feel not only good, but like that girl. — Naomi Parris |
