"I have been raving about these earrings since I bought them months ago," says associate editor Emma Stessman about these bestselling hoops. "They really are that good!! They're simple, chic and I haven't taken them out once since I got them, and they haven't tarnished or caused any irritation."

Dermora 24K Gold Eye Mask →

"I love this affordable beauty pick for those days when I feel like I need to look like I've actually slept a full night (which is not as often as I'd like)," says commerce editor Vivien Moon. "I typically have a handful in the fridge so I can apply them in the morning while I do my regular activities to help cool down any puffiness or to just give me a little rejuvenation while I multi-task."

Ursteel Initial Layered Necklace →

SEO intern Domonique Tolliver received this necklace as a Christmas present last year and wears it every day — and she says it hasn't tarnished. According to the brand, it's 14-karat gold-plated and can be worn alone or layered with other necklaces.

Loop Quiet Ear Plugs →

"After moving into a first-floor NYC apartment, I needed something to mask the sound of neighbors coming in and out of the building and street traffic," says associate editor Shannon Garlin. "Other earplugs caused me so much pain and then I came across these lifesavers. I've worn them every single night for over a year, and I now sleep soundly and comfortably."

Rowenta PurePop Handheld Steamer →

"I was a stylist assistant and retail girl for years (and spent many, many hours steaming) and this tiny but mighty steamer had really impressed me," says production associate Audrey Ekman. "It's got a 15-second heat-up time and is compact enough for any summer travel, weddings, etc."

LED Motion Sensor Cabinet Light →

Another one of Moon's favorites, she says she doesn't know how she survived so long without these automated lights. "In the week that I've installed these lights under my kitchen cupboards I can safely say that I will never go back. I wasn't expecting to be so quickly impressed," she says.

Hanes Perfect-T →

Former Shop TODAY staffer Ava Schwartz says she can't get enough of these affordable white T-shirts, which she says are so comfortable and you can't see through them — a pet peeve of hers. According to the brand, that might be because they're made of 100% ring-spun cotton.

Warner's Easy Does It Comfort Bra →

"This has by far become my favorite everyday bra!" raves assistant partnerships editor Lauren Witonsky. "It's nothing fancy but lays well under legitimately every top/dress (especially since it's convertible) and rivals the comfort of a sports bra," she says.
