Our goal at Popsugar is to provide our audience with content, products and experiences that help them live more balanced and fulfilling lives. We want to be a cozy corner of the internet where you can come to feel good and get a little dopamine hit, which is why we're introducing the Feel-Good Awards.
We're no strangers when it comes to awards—our Popsugar Beauty Awards have been running since 2019—but we're expanding this year. The Feel-Good Awards For the Holidays are a celebration of the products that truly light up our lives in 2025.
This is our joyful, uplifting take on the hot list: one that's driven by emotional impact rather than exclusivity. It features products across five core categories – beauty, health, wellness, sex and home – that provided a hit of dopamine this year when the world needed it most.
Winning products will be selected based on these criteria by our staff of journalists and subject matter experts, as well as industry professionals.
