If you're in your floral era year-round, this list has some rain boots, tote bags, and art prints that are calling your name.
1. A set of vintage-style botanical wall art prints so you can gaze at flowers even when you're curled up on the couch catching up on The White Lotus. Each print has a subtle linen texture on the surface, and reviewers say the material is thick and the color is vibrant.
Amazon
Promising review: "Absolutely love these prints. They are more beautiful in person and of great quality. They are sturdy and not just a piece of thin paper. I will definitely buy from this seller again." — Sherry Wagner
Dream Big Printables is a small business that specializes in wall art and decor.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
2. A set of Glamnetic press-on nails featuring a floral design so dainty and whimsical you'll feel like an actual daffodil come to life. Glamnetic press-ons have become a fan fave for being super easy to apply and lasting for well over a week — and you will hear "I love your nails!!" approximately 150 times over the course of that week.
www.amazon.com, Glamnetic
Just apply some glue to your nail and the back of the press-on, then press down firmly for 10–20 seconds, and then file and shape as you please!
Promising review: "I tried Glamnetic on a whim, and now I won't go to any other brand. They really do last! I love all the different styles, and that they're really easy to put on, especially with the brush on glue. I work in a school, and help my kids open their lunches, which includes peeling oranges. THESE NAILS STAY ON! I used to have to reapply my thumbs at lunch. Not anymore." — Kim P.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in 25 other designs/colors).
3. Or OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish that dries more quickly than... actually, it already dried before I could think of a clever example!! One minute is all it takes — yes, just 60 seconds — to get a fully dried veil of vibrant color that'll help you hold off on that expensive gel set you've been meaning to get. Plus, it comes in so many spring-friendly shades that'll match all your flowy dresses.
Amazon
The shade in the photo above is Speed of Bright.
Promising review: "I just love this nail polish! Love the color and how fast it dries. I will order again." — Georgie
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 shades)
4. A ceramic wildflower seed packet vase so you can make sure your flowers remember their roots. Or to make your Lego flowers look even more realistic. Also, imagine how cute this would be holding utensils in the kitchen!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I got a dried bouquet to go inside it and will be putting this in my work's white elephant gift exchange! Very stylish and unique, as well as sturdy and high quality." — Alyssa Wise
Ban.do is a small business that specializes in quirky homeware, accessories, and stationery.
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
5. A mini ruffled swing dress with a bow detail that's kind of giving "Minnie Mouse going to brunch to gossip with Daisy." Reviewers say it's super stretchy and the fabric is breathable enough to keep you cool on hot days. It also comes in a variety of colors, but let's be honest, the floral patterns are the only ones catching your eye.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm obsessed with this dress! I have it in three different colors and can't get enough! The fabric is light and airy, which is great for where I live! The bow detail and ruffles are adorable. Super fun dress that can be worn casually or dressed up! Perfect for a date night or vacation! Extremely comfortable!" — Mrs.Camacho
Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors).
6. A strawberry-shaped kitchen timer that'll make you feel so you can finally live out your dreams of moving in next to Strawberry Shortcake in Strawberryland. It goes up to 59 minutes, so you can use it to let you know when your lemon loaf is ready or to wake you up from a very well-deserved 59 minute afternoon nap.
Promising review:"The happiest little timer! It does have a typical mechanical ticking sounds when it's in action, but it is soft and unobtrusive. The timer's ring is pretty gentle, which is great for those in quiet spaces." — Drew Holladay
Get it from Amazon for $12.55.
7. A set of unbelievably adorable butterfly hair clips so you'll have an appropriately whimsical way to secure all your spring updos. Honestly, the cute design isn't even the best part — reviewers say these do what hair clip researchers previously thought was impossible: they actually stay in place and won't snap in half the second time you use them.
Promising review: "I bought these months ago but waited to review them so I could give an honest review. I am thrilled to report that I couldn't be happier with this item! The size is just as described and the spring holds tightly and is holding up very well so far. I wear one of these nearly every day and I love how nice they look and how well they hold my hair. I get complimented all the time on the butterfly and the different colors!" — P. Donovan
Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 color combinations).
8. And a pair of gold-plated butterfly huggie earrings that'll have you singing the Reading Rainbow theme every time you look in the mirror. 🎶 I can go twice as hiiiiigghh! 🎶 They're 100% nickel free, cadmium free, and lead free, so it should be safe to wear for those with sensitive skin!
Amazon
Fellow BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a huge fan of the brand behind these earrings: "For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my 'daily wear' jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!"
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in three styles).
9. The sweetly sophisticated Rose Era perfume by Snif with notes of fresh roses, strawberries, and clean laundry. So basically, imagine relaxing out on a freshly washed picnic blanket while eating fresh fruit in the botanic garden. I believe this is what the phrase "spring is in the air" smells like.
Promising review: "I usually avoid floral perfumes, but Snif's Rose Era caught me off guard in the best way. While rose isn't typically my go-to, there's a juicy, flirty vibe to this fragrance that I found surprisingly enjoyable. The blend of dewy roses with hints of strawberry and pear creates a fresh and playful vibe. Though I lean towards warm, musky, and slightly sweet scents, Rose Era managed to lighten my mood and offer a delightful change to my collection." — Shana
Get the travel size from Ulta for $25 or the full size for $65 (both sizes are also available directly from Snif).
10. Or the more fruit-forward Strawberry Letter by Phlur if florals aren't really your thing. First you'll smell perfectly ripe strawberries mixed with plum nectar (yum). Then your nose will pick up on some sugared amber and earthy woods, which elevates this to grown-up strawberry status. If the strawberry Lip Smacker was always the first one you reached for (guilty), this is for both you and your inner child.
Phlur
Promising review: "I was expecting a pretty generic strawberry scent for the summer. Let me tell you, this is much more. It's sultry with just a touch of strawberry. It's lasted for a good six hours so far. The projection isn't overwhelming, but my husband loved it when he curled up next to me." — Sam
Get it from Amazon for $32+ (available in two sizes).
11. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so even your boo-boos will be cute and springy. I mean, if you scrape your knee while gardening, it's only appropriate that your bandage matches the occasion.
Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric band-aids because they're way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" — Jessica
Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77.
12. A Homesick candle that perfectly captures the first true sign that spring has arrived — April showers! This scent actually has notes of rainwater (I would like to personally thank the fragrance scientists responsible for that note) along with vetiver, amber, and cedar bark. Basically, imagine stepping outside about 10 minutes after it stops raining and smelling all the damp flowers, grass, and trees surrounding you. The May flowers are on their way!!
Homesick
Promising review:"This smelled exactly as expected! Pretty good throw, smells just like stepping outside after it rains with some additional floral and aquatic notes, almost like you're next to a babbling brook. Great seasonal choice and will definitely order again." — Austin K
Get it from Homesick for $20.95 (originally $29.95).
13. A set of wooden flower pot magnets so you'll have a perfectly precious way to secure your very important spring notes like "farmer's market closes at 3 p.m. Saturday" and "running low on Flonase!" It's perfect for my fellow apartment dwellers with no room for an actual garden.
Promising review: "The magnets look good! I have them displayed at work and receive so many compliments. Perfect addition!" — Amazon Customer
Get a set of four from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in four other styles).
14. A "Springtime Street" puzzle with vibes so immaculate you'll be tempted to try to jump inside it. The super vibrant scene will instantly brighten up your day (can we talk about the dogs riding in the taxi?! 😭❤️), so I suggest saving it for a rainy day when you need a pick-me-up.
Psst! You might wanna go ahead and pick up a 20" x 27" puzzle frame so you can display it proudly on your wall.
Promising review: "This puzzle exceeded my expectations! The pieces are thick, sturdy, and fit together perfectly without bending or peeling. The image quality is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details that make the final picture a true work of art. It's definitely a challenge, but that's what makes it so enjoyable! If you love puzzles that test your patience and attention to detail, this one is perfect. Highly recommend for puzzle lovers looking for both quality and a rewarding challenge!" — Day
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two styles).
15. A set of temporary flower tattoos so you can ensure you are always covered in head-to-toe in florals, which I think even Miranda Priestly would consider pretty groundbreaking. Reviewers say they last for a surprisingly long time, unlike the cherry blossoms that bloom for all of five seconds.
Promising review:"They are quite dainty with light colors and fine lines. I found them to be quite long lasting if I am careful when showering to avoid scrubbing. I have had people congratulate me on my new tattoos and they are surprised to find they are fake." — Kindle Customer
Get a pack of 10 sheets from Amazon for $6.98 (available in six varieties).
16. A vintage-inspired botanical tapestry that is both ~aesthetic~ and educational. It's filled with several types of flowers with their names right beside them, so don't be surprised if you've memorized them all before summer even begins.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"This is a very nice item that I am using in my small Florida apartment to enhance my decor since my hobby is growing indoor houseplants. It is the best-quality item I own. It's beautiful, the pictures didn't do it justice." — Sharon Boggs
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in plant and mushroom designs).
17. Spring Moments, a delightfully cheery coloring book filled with the cutest creatures partaking in particularly precious activities. From cozy bathrooms to perfect picnics, it's filled with 40 scenes that'll make you say "I want to go to there" every time you turn the page.
Also, Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh. Hands down one of my absolute FAVORITE coloring books. Anything they put out, I will buy. It just is what it is. I love that there is so much to color while simultaneously not too much. You still have so much creative freedom with this one but it's so easy to make fun designs. If you're thinking about it... DO IT!" — SE Reviews
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
18. And a set of scented colored pencils that will make you super nostalgic for all the scented school supplies of years past. However, these come with a super sophisticated twist: instead of basic scents like grape and strawberry, you'll get dreamy fragrances like "Meandering Through a Filed of Jasmine" and "Napping Among Fragrant Bergamot Trees."
Lifelines
Promising review: "Everything about these colored pencils is enchanting, the design, scents, *the names of the colors*. Sigh. These scratch my itch for charming, lovely little things to elevate the day-to-day, and they take coloring as relaxation to a new level of self-care. The quality of the pencils themselves in terms of drawing/coloring is great as well; they blend easily, and the colors are clear/unmuted (they are not as rich/smooth as true artist quality pencils but perform above standard Crayola, similar to Prismacolor). I had to get a couple more as gifts, and both recipients were absolutely delighted." — Sunny
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three color palettes and in sets with diffuser pens).
19. A flowerpot-shaped lemon juicer so adorable it'll have you planning all of your meals around lemon juice. The design is also just downright functional — simply squeeze your lemon on top, then pour the juice out of the spout to add some zest to everything from salads to pasta sauce. It's like I always say: when life gives you lemons, buy cute things to squeeze them into.
Amazon
Promising review: "Cute, quirky, and fun to use! Lemonade is quickly made. It looks so good, I leave it on the counter." — Stephaniep
Get it from Amazon for $14.90.
20. A cheerful corduroy tote bag that's surprisingly roomy, so it's about to be the MVP of all your farmers market trips. And I'll go ahead and cut to the chase — there's not only one inner pocket, but TWO! No more fishing around for your keys when you return home with your fresh produce and local honey. 🍯 🐝
Promising review: "I love this bag. It holds everything. I even used it as my extra allowed personal item on the plane, and I had all I needed tucked right in this bag. Even my water bottle and reading materials fit well. It's got cute style. It's easy to locate in the house because of its bright colors. Washes up fantastically. The snaps work great, so things do not easily spill out. The inside pockets are perfect for phone and small wallet and provide easy access to them." — L.
Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in 39 styles).
21. A pair of floral-print rain boots so you can make like Natasha Bedingfield and feel the rain on your skin without getting your feet absolutely soaked. You might think they're too cute to function at first glance, but reviewers say they're super durable, protective, and surprisingly comfy.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love these boots; they fulfill the needs for which I bought them: rain/freezing snow. I live in Minnesota, and we can have very hot and rainy summers and freezing temps with very heavy snow/sleet (often extremely) in the fall, winter, and spring. I live in the city, so I walk everywhere...everywhere! I get compliments on them just about every time I wear them, which is a lot! They are warm for winter and very comfortable with or without socks." — Bobbie
Get it from Amazon for $38.90 (available in women's sizes 7–10 and four colors).
22. Or a pair of waterproof shoes in vibrant pastel colors that are the epitome of spring. They're so much lighter and more stylish than your typical heavy rain boots, and reviewers say they're super supportive and comfy.
Promising review:"I absolutely love these shoes! I originally bought them for a trip to Washington, DC where it was going to rain most of the time. I have Hunter rain boots, but knew we would be walking a lot and didn't want to be weighed down on the trip. I was four months pregnant and wore these for two of the days where we walked over nine miles each day (ugh!), and these were SOO COMFORTABLE! My feet didn't have any blisters or sore spots (which I am very prone to), and I handled the rain/puddles like a champ! I love that they looked like normal shoes but were wiped clean with a baby wipe! On the last day, it was dry, so I wore Adidas Cloud running shoes. My feet hurt halfway through the day, and I wanted to go change into these. Totally surprised by the comfort and quality of these rain shoes. I now use them when in the garden or anytime it rains!" — AmazonFamily
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–11, low-top and high-top styles, and five colors).
23. A set of vintage-inspired spoons you'll want for all the garden tea parties you'll be inspired to throw once the sun is out for more than two days in a row. They're perfect for stirring sugar into your morning cuppa, or even for taking dainty bites of lemon sorbet, which I'm hereby declaring the official dessert of spring.
Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" — Lindsey
Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.21.
24. A flowy and twirly A-line pleated skirt, because spring is practically designed for twirling around in the grass and living your best influencer life. Reviewers note that it's true to size, and the waistband gives the perfect amount of stretch while still staying in place.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"The skirt is as beautiful as I imagined it would be; it's exactly as pictured. It's very comfortable, and due to the elastic waistband, very forgiving as far as fit. It's perfect for work or a casual day out." — Elayne
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and eight colors).
25. The latest Lego bouquet featuring daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, and more. If you like the idea of fresh flowers but hate the act of watering said flowers, these are made specifically for you.
The set includes 15 buildable flowers, including daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, a campanula, and a waterlily dahlia.
Promising review: "This set is absolutely stunning. As a huge fan of the botanical sets, I was excited to get this one in, and I have to say that this one is the most detailed and realistic in the series. My favorite feature of the set is definitely the boat orchids overall, I am pleased, and this has to be my favorite set." — Leiruagetro
Get it from Amazon for $59.69.
26. Or! Buildable Lego cherry blossoms so you can marvel at their beauty right at home instead of trekking to the crowded botanic garden. But I must warn you, these are so cute you might buy at least three more sets to have in different rooms.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the flowers in action.
Promising review: "Great afternoon activity. All of the flower Lego sets are great for a break and getting your mind off things. We have several different flower ones in a vase, and they all seem to fit nicely together." — Jeremy Moeller
Get it from Amazon for $10.19.
27. Or!!! A beautiful bouquet of crochet flowers that are 100% better than real ones since they don't require constant watering and will last longer than 2.5 days. There are several colors to choose from, and they're all bound to add a vibrant touch to even the dreariest rainy days.
The small size includes four flowers, and the large size includes six flowers.
Promising review: "This arrangement sits behind one of my couches and it is always the first thing in my living room people comment on. It is so cute I love it!!" — Sarah K.
Vega Studio Art is a small Etsy shop based in New York.
Get it from Vega Studio Art on Etsy for $20.15+ (available in two sizes, five colors, and options for wrapping and a vase).
28. A patterned stoneware mug if you're going for a "spring, but make it rustic-chic" vibe. As one reviewer said, "Coffee just tastes better when you have the most beautiful mug." All true coffee connoisseurs know this is 100% factual.
Well yes, it is both microwave- and dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "These far exceeded my expectations. They are the perfect cups! The design is lovely and the feel of the cup is great. Really a beautiful mug addition." — Mdr
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four styles and multipacks).
29. Resin coasters that are basically mini handmade works of art for your coffee table. They're seriously almost too gorgeous to place actual drinks on, but don't worry, you can also use one as a chic jewelry tray if you can't bring yourself to put your coffee mug on it.
*Don't forget to fill out the personalization box!
And if you're not into shades of green, check out their shop for more colors in the same style.
Promising review:"I knew these would be gorgeous, but you absolutely have to see them in person. Beautiful craftsmanship, love them!!" — Karen K.
Michelle Pournia is a Monterey, California-based small biz that specializes in stunning, handmade home decor and functional art.
Get a set of two from Michelle Pournia for $28 (available in single-, and other multipacks, and in more colors here).
30. A set of pastel highlighters so you can liven up your dreary notes with a touch of spring colors. Oh, and did mention there's ✨ GLITTER ✨ in the ink??!! I haven't been this excited about glitter since Mariah Carey started an acting career. Their rectangular design provides an ergonomic grip so you can use them for hours and hours during your next study session — or for when you read a Colleen Hoover novel and decide to highlight every ridiculous thing that happens (so, the entire book).
Check out a TikTok of the highlighters in action.
Promising review:"These are amazing!!! Beautiful colors and the sparkle/shimmer is more than I imagined it would be. Mr. Pen did it again! If you don't have these pens, you need to get them!! Great addition to my journaling supplies!" — FBJH12
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in three other color combos that aren't metallic).
31. A silly swinging planter I guarantee will put a smile on your face every time you see it — kind of like the one painted on it! It includes two hooks for easy hanging and a drainage hole for easy plant parenting. I suggest placing this by a window so it can lightly swing anytime there's a breeze.
Amazon
Promising review:"This adorable plant pot is great for my collection. The cord is strong and long enough to adjust as needed. I was concerned that the little guy would tip forward on his swing, but it actually sits very nicely and looks great. The size is wonderful — so many special pots like this are tiny, but this one holds a nice mature plant. All the materials are of nice quality, and the planter itself is thick and sturdy." — LauraM
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in five other styles).

More people are going to movie theaters — in their homes

Project requests for home theater installations soared 562% in 2024, Yelp reports, as homeowners splurge on features that rival their local cinema. Why it matters: The summer's hottest movie screenings might be in your — or your neighbor's — bonus room. What we're hearing: Paying to sit in a musty theater isn't as appealing as staying home, where amenities and snacks can be customized to personal preferences. Zoom in: "We're seeing growing interest in everything from full-scale theater renovations" to budget-friendly additions like blackout curtains, Yelp trend expert Tara Lewis tells Axios. Super-hosts can bring in pros to build custom snack stations, install the latest sound systems or curate plush decor. Between the lines: Theater chains have struggled to rebound from the pandemic, despite investing in new projectors, seats, bars and more. Most suburban megaplexes "feel like relics of a bygone era," actor and showrunner Danny McBride recently told The Hollywood Reporter. The intrigue: Movie rooms aren't the only home entertainment spaces making a comeback. Searches for Lego rooms, billiard rooms and video game rooms jumped double digits on Houzz, a home design site, earlier this year compared to last. The big picture: Lately, more people want to upgrade their current house instead of buying a new one, builders say. Americans spent an estimated $603 billion last year on home remodeling, far above pre-pandemic levels, according to Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies. But roller-coaster tariffs threaten to make everything from construction to flat-screen TVs costlier. What we're watching: That dream renovation might have to wait.

Or, if you're not a big makeup person, use the primer to just give your skin a velvety finish.

Bezos wedding protesters demand the billionaire ‘get out of our lagoon'

After Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot in Venice on Friday, a few hundred protesters gathered Saturday at a city train station for a march, united with one message for the Amazon billionaire and his bride: go away. 'Bezos, f**k off,' they chanted in Italian. 'Out of our lagoon!' One bearded man toted a Shrek-themed placard with the same message: 'Get Out of Our Lagoon,' the 'a' in lagoon sprouting Shrek ears, with a Spotify link below for the theme song from the first movie in the series, Smash Mouth's 'All Star.' 'Bezos goes hand-in-hand with (US President Donald) Trump, who's fueling more money in war,' one woman bellowed into a microphone by the station. 'We are for peace.' '(Bezos) has such a lot of power,' Austrian protester Hans Peter Martin told CNN. 'And now he's abusing this city as a place to show off. So, he's not welcome here.' Sofia D'Amato, a 22-year-old Venetian, emphasized that the protests weren't about envy for Bezos' wealth or power. 'We are not jealous of the fact that he earns so much money, that he is one of the most powerful men in the world,' D'Amato told CNN. 'We are jealous when his wealth hits us in the face.' Venice's Ministry of Tourism says the three-day wedding, which reportedly cost $55 million, could provide a boost of almost 68% of the city's annual tourism turnover. On top of that, Sanchez and Bezos gave 1 million euros each to three Venetian cultural institutions, according to Reuters; a total of 3 million euros worth of donations. Their philanthropy left D'Amato unimpressed. 'They say that Jeff Bezos donated money to Venice,' D'Amato said. 'It was donated after our dissent. Such a sum for a magnate is paltry.' Protesters drew a stark contrast between the decadence of Bezos and Sanchez's wedding the day before and the harsh realities of working at the billionaire's company. 'We can barely pay the rent,' one woman, who identified herself as an Amazon worker, told a crowd of demonstrators. 'Many of us come from far away to reach the warehouse. We make do … we don't see these millions.' Some protesters joined in an old leftist chant as the demonstration moved toward the Ponte delle Guglie: 'The people united will never be defeated.' At least one protester took aim at the couple's fashion sense with a sign declaring that 'Money Can't Buy Style.' Many held aloft Amazon boxes with various messages inscribed: 'Rejected,' 'No Space for Bezos.' Multiple flags were visible among the protesters: Palestinian flags, pride flags, anti-fascist flags and Venice's fimbriated red standard were among the popular choices. A few individuals waved a modified version, the sword-bearing golden lion at its hoist wearing a black balaclava. Venice city officials were unamused by the protesters, denouncing them in a press release as 'ridiculous' and 'grotesque.' 'Contesting a wedding (any wedding) is already ridiculous in itself. But here we have exceeded all limits of common sense,' read a municipal statement released Saturday. 'We have descended into the folklore of 'No to everything.''
