I've been to the year 3000, not much has changed but they have devices that'll stir your stew for you and tools to help get your bra pads back into your bra after doing laundry.
1. A belted portable cordless vibrating heating pad because every time Mother Nature comes around you swear she's trying to kill you. Since you can't use the *I'm bleeding uncontrollably* excuse to get out of work every month, this bad boy is exactly what you need to make your cramps and pain much more bearable. Thank you future, this one's a win win win.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the heating pad in action. Reviewers note you should definitely wear it *over* your clothes!
Promising review: "Oh my god. This might be the best thing I have ever bought. It gets so incredibly warm. You do need to wear it over clothes to prevent burns but as someone who never finds any heat pack warm enough, the lowest setting is exceptionally hot. As someone who has really bad menstrual cramps and chronic constipation this little belt does it all. The heat is so soothing and adjustable and heats up so fast. The vibration is my favorite part. It helps so much with trapped gas and bloating pains. It breaks up all the little bubbles and can even move things along if you're having a hard time using the bathroom. The various patterns and heat combinations allow this to be truly customizable to however you feel at the time, and it's fantastic. Absolutely worth every cent." — Chloe
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 11 colors).
2. A Solawave red light therapy wand that'll help reduce dark spots and fine lines, and stimulate and lift the skin (thanks to microcurrents), all while giving you a delightful as heck facial massage and some ~therapeutic~ warmth. Your skincare products will absorb better and puffiness won't stand a chance. Sounds like an amazing spa-like facial treatment is waiting for you and you can do it from the comfort of your couch! This plus a glass of pinot?! Reason number 532 of why leaving your house sounds less and less appealing.
Solawave is a LGBTQ-owned small biz based in Los Angeles.
Check it out on TikTok!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis loves it! "This. gadget. is. worth it! 👏🏾 Using the Solawave was my first time introducing red light therapy into my skincare routine and the difference in my hyperpigmentation is honestly mind-blowing. The tone of my face is much more even and the dark circles around my eyes have nearly disappeared. Essentially, it's like a mix of a jade roller (which I already love using anyway) and an LED mask in one...with microcurrent/vibration therapy, too. You can apply the specific Solawave activating serum or any conductive gel of your choice (I use a different one, myself!) and it will really absorb the benefits when used with the wand. I only use it once every other day (at night) and it's super relaxing. My skin is always ✨glowing✨ the next day!"
Get it from Amazon for $169 (available in three colors).
3. A Grosche moka pot — a stove top espresso maker that's super affordable. I mean, those fancy espresso makers are cool, but they cost a pretty penny. What'd the Jo Bros say? "I took a trip to the year 3000, this song had gone multi-platinum, everybody bought *these little cheap aesthetically pleasing espresso machines*" — or something like that, right?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check it out on TikTok! The reviewer demonstrates how they use it on the stove to make espresso for their lattes.
Promising review: "Greatest purchase in the last five years!!! I have always been a coffee drinker, but I recently purchased a moka pot to make iced espressos during the summer. Quickly it became an everyday thing! I love this moka pot more than any other item in my kitchen, other than my actual coffee pot brewer! I had bought a cheap one elsewhere and that lasted about three weeks before falling apart. I spent a little more money for a quality product and have never looked back! I recommend this particular moka pot as it was slightly more than the cheap ones, but less than some of the bigger name brands. It has lasted me two and a half years now without ever giving me a problem. Definitely a customer for life." — A. Arvy
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in 11 colors and four sizes).
4. A progress-tracking jump rope that screams "I'm from the future, they brought me back in a time machine." This bad boy is def how they exercise in 2095. You can set your weight, it has a timer, and this'll calculate the calories you burn and count your jumps. Fitness goals are getting smashed with this bb in 2025 and 3000.
Promising review: "It should come as no surprise that I bought this thanks to a TikTok influencer, and honestly, I'm glad I did. I wanted a way to exercise that was both fun and did not include going into a gym, and a jump rope seemed like the perfect solution. I will say jumping rope is not as easy as I remember as a child, but I'm excited to continue using this product and get better and better at it. Definitely worth the purchase." — Nicole O.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors).
5. Eyeshadow color removal sponges so you can dig into the brighter colors you've been avoiding in your favorite makeup palette. If you stick to neutrals because cleaning your makeup tools is a pain, this'll let you experiment with the pinks, blues, and greens you've always wanted to play in. Pull up that Pinterest makeup board and get to work at recreating your saved bold looks, cuz cleaning your brushes has never been easier.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Check out what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord thinks of this awesome little tool: "I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful) and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"
Promising review: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." — Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett
Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99 (available in a four-pack).
6. A flexible power strip with three outlets, two USB ports, and a 5-foot extension cable designed so you can Tetris this baby through the weird little nooks in your home. Bulky chargers? No worries, they won't block the other outlets!

Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok, so I ordered one. I absolutely love it. Everyone needs one in their life." — Dani Jo Stengsar
"I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more, and I'm about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" — Pond P.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).
7. A self-stirring mug perfect for hot cocoa so you don't get to the end of your cup and have all those big powdery chocolate chunks stuck to the bottom. Mixing sugar and creamer into your coffee just got a whole lot easier. And just think of how perfect your protein shakes will be!
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the self-stirring mug in action.
Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in my daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function. Just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on, and let it do its own thing." — Lina
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors).
8. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher that can be paired with your Alexa or Google Home to *automatically* turn on and off your lights and home appliances. And with the SwitchBot app, you can schedule built-in timers and control your coffee machine, air conditioning, or even your garage doors when you're away. Hey, remember when you wished you had Pat from Smart House — I mean, before she got outta control? Well, this is pretty close.
You won't need to "smart enable" other parts of your home. Plus, you'll be able to turn on your Keurig from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed. Best way ever to wake up.
Promising review:"This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." — Alecia McLochlin
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors).
9. A wine wand because you love wine but wine does not love you. This little handheld filter helps remove histamines and sulfites in alcohol that may trigger headaches and other symptoms. Plus, it'll help restore the natural taste of your wine after it's been opened.
And check it out on TikTok!
Promising review:"What a difference these have made in my life. With my allergies, it was impossible to enjoy a glass or two of wine without nasty side effects: stuffy nose, red face, and headaches. Now, I can have a glass of wine and not have to dart to a package of antihistamines! Makes a great gift. Even thinking of splitting a box into stocking stuffers. Each wand is individually wrapped. Have purchased these several times and will continue to do so." — KellyH
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in other multipacks).
10. A PhoneSoap to sanitize your phone, keys, wallet, jewelry, eyeglasses, and more. It can also charge your phone as it cleans it! This gadget claims to kill up to 99.99% of bacteria with UV light.
www.amazon.com
Check out this reviewer's before and afters of bacteria on three phones put onto petri dishes. Plus, see it in action on TikTok!
Promising review:"This has proven to be a great purchase. I have also purchased two others as gifts. It matches my bedroom and sits on my vanity. Looks great with the decor. More than that, it is very convenient to clean my makeup brushes, nail files, etc. If it fits, you can use it in this PhoneSoap. It was a great purchase, and I am seriously considering the larger version. I've had this almost two years with zero issues." — IslandSandy
Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in seven colors).
11. A set of two rechargeable emergency LED bulbs because your power is like *nah, I'm out* the second a raindrop hits the ground. Once attached to your bulb fixture, they'll stay lit for up to 3–4 hours so you can have normal lighting until Pepco straightens things out. Plus, you won't have to stumble around in the dark with just your phone flashlight (although it is portable if you do wanna move around with it).
Promising review: "These little guys are so bright!! Got these on a whim after seeing them on TikTok. These are super bright and charge when the light is turned on. These are worth the price." — Reid524
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.14+ (available in three colors and a three-, four-, and six-packs).
12. A magnetic water bottle sleeve pouch since every time you go to the gym, your water bottle and keys won't conveniently fit in the little cup holder. No need to go ~back to the future~ to help you find the solution, cuz this bb is it. It has a strong magnet that'll attach to metal surfaces in the gym and spaces to stash your keys, phone, cards, money, whatever's with you that you don't wanna keep in your hands.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Gym Mate is a small biz that specializes in magnetic gym accessories for water bottles and technology.
Check out a TikTok of the water bottle magnet attachment in action.
Promising review: "Hands down one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon. I can fit my iPhone 13 Pro with the case in the pocket and have plenty of room for my AirPods. Magnets are super strong and hold everything perfectly!" — Nalani
Get it from Amazon for $23.99.
13. A rotating whisk blender because why tire your arm and hand out when you can mix batter, beat eggs, and froth milk the easy way? Say goodbye to making brownies and realizing you didn't whisk the egg all the way when you pour the batter into the greased pan. Thank you, futuristic little gadget.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the whisk in action.
Promising review:"This is one of the coolest gizmos I've purchased! And it works like a charm, especially for scrambled eggs. I've always struggled with getting the egg white and yoke blended well together. This tool does the trick. I found it most effective with liquids. Any kind of sauce or salad dressing can be well blended with this tool, too." — Austin
Get it from Amazon for $10.49 (clip the 30% off coupon on the product page to get this price; available in two-packs).
14. An undetectable mouse jiggler so you can walk away from your at-home work station and make a snack or have a longer bathroom break without worrying about going "inactive" on your team Slack. Anddd without having to explain that you're making some Trader Joe's potstickers really quick and will BRB.
Promising review:"Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles/colors).
15. A split anti-soggy cereal bowl because when Boyz 'N Motion from That's So Raven said they didn't like their food to touch, you soooo felt that. If you can't stand crunchless Frosted Flakes or for the juice from your sautéed spinach to mix into your mac 'n' cheese, this bowl is calling, no, SCREAMING your name. And it looks all futuristic like something Zenon would use to eat.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the split cereal bowl in action.
Reviewers also love using this for soup combos, ice cream, and chips and dips!
Promising review: "This product is something I didn't know I needed. It's like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I'm being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I'll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." — Sarah F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.80+ (available in three colors and in two- and three-packs).
16. A glasses lens cleaner that'll have you like "microfiber cloth who?" It uses ~carbon microfiber tech~ (def from the future) to quickly and effectively clean your glasses without scratching the lenses, might I add. Plus, it comes with a carrying case so it doesn't get exposed to bacteria and such.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses every day and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 20 colors and in multipacks).
17. An electric can opener because sometimes opening cans is such a pain. I mean, seriously, maybe I'm the only person who can NEVER get a handheld can opener to open a can, but they can be totally frustrating. Just put your cans onto the magnet, press the button and boom! Like magic.
See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review:"This is the tool in our kitchen that I get excited to use every time! Years of using hand-crank can openers make me appreciate this small but mighty opener. It's so simple. Put your can up to it, hold the handle down, and voila! You now have an open can with NO sharp edges or twisted metal tags left behind." — Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $34.91 (available in two colors).
18. A slim-profile, portable, ink-free Bluetooth printer *cough* from the future *cough* that'll connect to your phone, tablet, or computer to quickly print out that shipping label or article you need printed. Just grab some ~ thermal paper ~ and fire this bad boy up!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the portable ink-free Bluetooth printer in action.
Promising review: "This specific printer is lightweight but very sturdy. The app is super easy to use; it's got a media library that has layouts and other clipart styles. The printer is also relatively quiet and I have not had any issues with loading the paper straight, you just have to be dedicated to inserting the paper. Do not be super gentle with the paper or it will print on the paper crooked. Customer support is awesome and the quality is nice and worth the price, in my opinion. The paper, as stated in other reviews, is costly however, I think not paying for ink evens it out." — Kapizanami
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (clip the $6 off coupon on the product page to get this price; available in six colors).
19. An automatic pan stirrer because the future = robots that do things for you, of course. Since you can't pay a chef to just do it all for you, this bad boy is the next best thing.
Uncommon Goods
It has a built-in timer and uses four AA batteries.
Check out a TikTok of the automatic pan stirrer whisking up a sauce.
Promising review: "Sometimes when cooking, you need more than two hands. When I first saw the Automatic Pan Stirrer with a timer, I thought it was a great idea but probably wouldn't work. Much to the family's surprise and delight, not only did the Automatic Pan Stirrer and timer work, but it worked well. So much so, that we purchased another Automatic Pan Stirrer for a friend. When in doubt...try it out!" — Look-Around-Linda
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $25+ (also available in a rechargeable option).
20. A Sprocket portable photo printer that'll print pics right from your phone! If Polaroids aren't your thing and you miss the good ole days of developing the film from your disposable cameras, this is *perfect*. Just connect it to your phone, download the Sprocket app to filter, edit, and add cute designs and stickers to your photos before printing them, and boom! All of those lovely pictures won't have to just sit on your phone anymore.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can even connect your app with your friends and family and send each other photos to print! Don't forget to grab some photo paper!
Check out a TikTok of the Sprocket printer in action.
Promising review:"I am so glad I got this! My main purpose was to have an affordable way to print photos for my baby book. I thought the photos would be too small, but they're kind of the perfect size. Also the app has these cute 'stickers' and borders you can add to the photos (a lot related to baby stuff), and the best part is the sticky back. There really are no cons to this printer except sometimes the color is a little distorted. It depends on what your purpose for this printer is, but the quality really isn't that bad. I would say out of 50 photos, maybe five I have wanted to reprint. I mean, they are going in my first child's baby album, it's not like I'm putting crap quality in there. Definitely not a dealbreaker for everything else that is great about it." — McCleskeyFam
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in four colors and in bundles).
21. A "Cup Claw," because every time you throw your bras in the laundry there are only two results. A, "wait, where the heck did the pads go?!" or B, "great, now the pads are so weirdly twisted up in my bra and are making my boobs look strange*. Anyone who wears a bra, let's send lots of kisses to the inventor from the future who thought of this. 🙌 Pure GENIUS.
Cup Claw is a US-based, family-owned small biz that specializes in fashion tools.
This'll snag onto your loose bra cup like scissors so you can squeeze it back into that tiny little hole that it belongs in. Easy peasy! If you wanna see it in action, check it out on TikTok!
Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective, and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place, I highly recommend this." — Wesley I.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
22. A portable water dispenser fancier than Squilliam Fancyson, more futuristic than Phil of the Future, and as an added bonus, it's prettyyyy. Just attach it to a water jug and tap it for water at your fingertips. People who see this on your desk or in your home won't know whether to call you bougie or accuse you of being a time traveler from 2073.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the water dispenser in action.
Promising review: "I love the convenience of having water in my room at all times during the day and night. The unit is quiet and I love that you can specify the desired water level in your cup. Honestly, this is by far my best Amazon order. I absolutely love it!!!" — Ricki
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors).
23. A set of legging-organizing hangers because your legging collection is growing and growing and you currently have a drawer full of balled up pants. Plus, you end up unfolding every pair and just making a mess of the drawer whenever you look for your favorites in the sea of black leggings. This'll make each pair easy to see and free up some space in your dresser. Do you think Zenon ever had this problem? Probz not, cuz she probably had this.
www.amazon.com
Each hanger holds 10 pairs of leggings. Check out a TikTok of the legging organizer hanger in action.
Promising review:"Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and in single-, and four-packs).
24. A keyless fingerprint doorknob that'll ONLY open to your unique fingerprint *or* a designated code. One side is plain and the other has the fingerprint and code pad, which will only light up when it's being used. Finally, a fix for people who are infamous for forgetting their keys. Nick, Kevin, Joe — did you guys grab this when you were riding around in a time machine like one in a film we've seen?
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the fingerprint doorknob in action. It also comes with an emergency key to unlock it, if the code is forgotten!
Promising review:"I've had this lock for a couple of months now and honestly, I love it. So convenient. I don't have to worry about my room being unlocked anymore. Also just a genuinely great product." — Alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors and styles).
25. A stair-climbing Trolley Dolly because you live alone on the third floor with no elevator and although a wagon fixes your grocery issue, how the heck do you get it up the stairs? Bam! This baby has wheels that are specially designed to go up stairs while carrying up to 75 pounds. The future is lookin' good if this is a part of it.
Check out a TikTok of the Trolley Dolly in action.
Promising review: "I was getting so tired of making several trips to my car to retrieve my groceries after each shopping trip. I saw this trolley on Amazon and decided to buy it. Best purchase ever. I now can bring all my groceries in with one trip to the car. I also love that its wheel design allows the trolley to climb my front steps, making it so easy for me. I have used it in the house to help me carry things upstairs, and the climbing feature makes it safe and easy." — m Robinson
Get it from Amazon for $77.75+ (available in five colors and with a basket).
26. A dang-perfect Ninja cooler that's so top tier it'll feel like a God amongst other coolers. This bb has a lil' fridge-temp dry drawer where you can store food. Cookout? Throw the hot dogs in the drawer and keep the ice-cold beers on top! Beach trip? You know where to store the sandwiches! See? Told you this thing was perfect.
Promising review: "We bought this 50-quart ice chest and got to use it here in Arizona on our boat this weekend. In over 100-degree temperatures, I was so impressed. It did exactly what it says! The dry cooler box kept our sandwiches nice and cold! It held a good amount of drinks with 20 pounds of ice. After two days in the sun, there was still a bunch of ice left! Best purchase ever! Definitely recommend!" — Leanne
Get it from Ninja for $224.99 (originally $249.99; available in four colors) or Amazon for $179.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
27. A portable Chill-O-Matic Instant Beverage Cooler because putting your warm can of soda, beer, or seltzer in the freezer/fridge for an hour to get it cold is soooo in the past. What is this, the year 800 CE? This gadget of the future will take your room temperature 12-ounce bevy can and turn it into icy cold bliss.
Amazon
Chill-O-Matic is a small biz that specializes in beverage accessories.
Check out a TikTok of the Chill-O-Matic in action.
Promising review: "I was so afraid of wasting money, but I didn't. I love my sodas cold but sometimes there's not a cold one available, and waiting 30-40 minutes for one to get cold in the freezer is not always ideal. This will get your room temp can to fridge cold in 90 seconds. I let it run double that to get almost freezer cold. I wish it had a power cord, but I do appreciate the portability that the batteries provide. I can't wait to try it out while vacationing, as access to cold sodas isn't always available. All you need is a literally a little bit of ice." — G. Massey
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two colors).
28. A 5-in-1 Tovala smart oven for those nights that it's giving TV dinners. All you have to do is grab those pizza rolls from the freezer, scan them, and voila! This oven knows what temperature to cook them at and sets a cook time, meaning little to no work for you! Closest thing you'll get to that futuristic Spy Kids oven you wanted when you were 8.
Amazon
This baby can air fry, bake, broil, toast, and reheat, all controlled from your smartphone. They also offer an oven-ready meal subscription and recipes through their app. Perfect if you don't have much time to grocery shop or cook. Each oven comes with a food subscription credit for 3–5 meals ($50 value).
See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review: " I love my oven and the meal kits you can subscribe to from Tovala. The oven is so convenient and easy to use, the app for it contains a database of scannable grocery items that you can quickly cook with just the barcode scanner feature, no need to program times and temperatures. That said, you can still program times and temperatures either using the front panel of the oven, or by programming a recipe in the app. T he app gives you notifications when the food is done cooking so I don't miss out on a tiny little 'beep' as my only notice that I need to act. The oven stops cooking automatically at the end of its cycle, no worry about leaving the oven on after you use it. The meal kit subscription that Tovala offers is great too, the meat always comes out perfectly cooked!" — John
29. A magnetic microwave cover because you're so sick of having to clean up your splattered spaghetti any time you have leftovers. This bb sticks to the top of your microwave so you can just pop it off when you're ready for last night's lasagna. Whoever brought this back from the future (my guess is Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown), can you grab one for me?
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action.
Promising review:"If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." — Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (also available in a two-pack).

'Classmates threw Snickers at me to test my allergy'

A woman is raising awareness on social media of the severe food allergy she lives with, saying she had Snickers bars "snapped in half and thrown" at her when she was at school to test her peanut allergy. Chloe Dickson, 26, from Brighton, has anaphylaxis - a condition which causes her to go into anaphylactic shock when exposed to peanuts. Garnering millions of views through her Peanut Free Zone social channels, she says she has received death threats and been called "selfish" due to "misunderstandings" about her allergy. "In secondary school, kids didn't believe I'd react without eating something," Ms Dickson told BBC South East. Posting videos to TikTok and Instagram, Ms Dickson showcases her daily life from taking trains and planes, to working at a cafe and documenting allergic episodes. A life-threatening reaction in a pub, when none of her friends knew how to use her EpiPen, was a "turning point" that compelled her to raise the profile of her condition. Charity Anaphylaxis UK says that about one in 50 children and one in 200 adults in the UK have a nut allergy, ranging from mild to life-threatening. Having worked in the hospitality industry since she was a teenager, Ms Dickson said she had been fired before as an employer wanted to serve dishes with peanuts. She said being told that she was "too high risk" by potential employers had been a "massive anxiety" and made her condition feel "like a secret". In response to critical online comments, she said: "I'm just a human and enjoy working in a café. "I want to be doing fun and exciting things too." Working at Moksha Caffe in Brighton, which became a peanut-free space five years ago to accommodate her, she said management had been "incredible". Ms Dickson said her goal was to encourage Brighton hospitals to go peanut-free. Analysis of NHS data hospitalisations between 1998 and 2018 reveals that 86 (46%) fatalities out of 152 from food-induced anaphylaxis were triggered by peanut or tree nuts, according to research from the Food Standards Agency and Imperial College London. In the UK, restaurants, cafés and takeaways serving "non-prepacked food" must provide accurate information on the major 14 allergens, following the Food Information Regulations 2014. Paul Carey, a spokesperson from allergy campaign group Owen's Law, told BBC South East that best practice allergen information should "always be provided in writing at the point of ordering without the customer having to ask". He wants this to become law after his son, Owen, died during his 18th birthday celebrations after unknowingly eating a burger containing buttermilk. On having dedicated peanut-free spaces for people like Chloe, Mr Carey said: "If people with allergies want to feel safe, then going to a place which is guaranteeing that can only be a good thing."

I Sampled All the Best Mushroom Gummies—Here's What I Found

Slumber's Rest & Renew Mushroom Sleep Gummies are made with reishi fruiting bodies, chamomile, passionflower, magnesium citrate, and a hint of melatonin. I tried them for a week, but they didn't significantly improve my sleep, which has been consistently disrupted since the invention of TikTok. However, I can see these being helpful for someone who doesn't struggle to sleep but simply desires a more restful slumber. The aftertaste is unpleasant. Slumber gummy products often have this issue, leading me to believe that it's not the mushrooms causing it but rather the overall formulation. I have to chase it down with water, and I don't think I'm being dramatic. Specs Active Ingredients Organic Reishi mushroom extract, organic chamomile, chelamax magnesium citrate, organic passion flower, melatonin (500 mcg). Other Ingredients Water, pectin, sugar, sodium citrate, organic tapioca, cane sugar, citric acid, natural color, natural flavoring.

Courtesy of Sunday Scaries Sunday Scaries Functional Mushroom Gummies + Nootropics deliver a noticeable jolt. Thirty minutes after consumption, I felt that unmistakable caffeine buzz. Flavor-wise, the orange is OK. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. Every batch comes with third-party certifications verifying purity, potency, and safety.

I Tested Samsung's $60 Galaxy Fit 3: It's Basic, but in a Good Way

The Galaxy Fit 3 teeters on the edge of being a smartwatch, and a fitness tracker. Everything from its in-between size to its sparse smart features makes it hard to categorize as one or the other. But as I tested this simple and charming wrist device, its main appeal became crystal clear. What's most appealing about this hybrid smartwatch, as I'm choosing to call it, is its price tag. At $60, it's the most affordable way to access Samsung's robust health ecosystem through the Samsung Health app. If you're already a Samsung user and can temper your expectations, that alone might make it worth considering. It also doesn't hurt that it's easy on the eyes and doesn't overpower my 6.5-inch wrist like other traditional smartwatches (especially the budget ones, some of which can be an eyesore). 7.8 Samsung Galaxy Fit3 $58 at Amazon Like $60 price is the cheapest entry point into Samsung's ecosystem $60 price is the cheapest entry point into Samsung's ecosystem Robust health tracking and sleep coaching tools Robust health tracking and sleep coaching tools 3-day battery life with always-on display (up to 13 days with lighter use) 3-day battery life with always-on display (up to 13 days with lighter use) Slim, lightweight design that looks fancier than most budget trackers Don't like No built-in GPS for phone-free outdoor workouts No built-in GPS for phone-free outdoor workouts No voice assistant or dictation features No voice assistant or dictation features No mobile payments or third-party app support No mobile payments or third-party app support Limited notification handling (can't initiate calls or texts) At a time when there are dozens of smartwatches vying for your attention, with a dizzying array of features, the Fit 3 stands out due to its straightforward appeal and a price that's hundreds of dollars less than that of the flagship Galaxy Watch 7 and other competitors like the OnePlus Watch 3. After three weeks of using the Fit 3, I've come to appreciate its value and battery life, even if I'd still recommend the slightly more expensive Amazfit Bip 6 for most people. Galaxy Fit 3 design At first glance, its 1.6-inch (40mm) AMOLED screen could easily pass for a full-size smartwatch -- not what you'd typically expect from a tracker. It has a rounded rectangular display with an aluminum frame that comes in subtle rose gold (like mine), silver or dark gray. Only a couple of aspects of its design hint at its true hybrid form. The rectangular screen is much narrower than the ones you'll find on other smartwatches, like the Amazfit Bip 6 or even the Apple Watch. By default, that limits how much information you can view on the screen, but in my opinion, it also makes the design feel more elegant. Also, the Fit 3 has only one physical button (there's no crown or rotating bezel). Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Galaxy Fit 3 battery life Where it truly shines is battery life. Operating at full throttle, the watch lasted three full days, and that's including an active always-on display, the mirroring of all notifications from my phone, sleep tracking, and at least one workout per day. Without the always-on display, you may be able to stretch it to Samsung's promised 13 days. This longevity is in part due to the smaller screen and because the Fit 3 isn't running a feature-rich operating system like Wear OS, which you'll find in the newer Galaxy Watch lineup. Regardless, it's easier to keep the Fit 3 charged for all-day use and sleep tracking than its Galaxy Watch counterparts, which often give out before the 48-hour mark (even the Ultra). It also charges fast and can go from zero to 100% in just over an hour. Galaxy Fit 3 'smart' features (or lack thereof) The big sacrifice here, and the reason I don't consider the Fit 3 a full-fledged smartwatch, is its limited smart features. Even when paired with a Galaxy phone (I paired it with a Galaxy S25 Plus), its functionality feels restricted and it doesn't support voice dictation or mobile payments. It's also compatible with non-Galaxy Android phones, but you'll lose out on even more functionality, like the camera remote or alarm syncing. The narrow screen on the Fit 3 means you don't get as much screen space for notifications. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET I didn't think I'd miss a voice assistant as much as I did, but wearing the Fit 3 made me realize that dictation and voice commands have become a big part of how I use a smartwatch, whether it's text responses, setting a timer while I cook or taking and making calls. All you can do is decline a call and send a canned response to the caller. The same goes for text messages. You can't initiate a text or dictate a reply, but you can respond via prewritten messages that you can customize with something more conversational than the ones that come preloaded. I added a "Give me a sec while I get to my phone." It's not ideal, but at least it buys me some time to dig through my bottomless Mary Poppins purse for my phone. I'm contemplating adding a "Piss off" custom response for robophishing scam texts. The other big miss for me was mobile payments. Without NFC, you won't be able to pay for things with your wrist on the Fit 3. Otherwise, the Fit 3 is notable for its lack of app selection. I had to survive without some of my regular third-party apps, like the Roku TV remote and Spotify, but I was OK with using them on the phone. The Fit 3 still has the basics: alarm, calculator, weather app, camera remote (for Galaxy phones) and Samsung's Health app. The last is the standout here, and one of the main reasons you'd consider getting this in the first place. The Fit 3 has advanced health sensors and a single button for navigation. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Galaxy Fit 3 health and fitness Let's get one thing out of the way: The Fit 3 doesn't have built-in GPS. This means you'll be tethered to your phone during runs if you want truly accurate tracking. That was my biggest complaint as far as fitness features go, because the S25 Plus isn't the most dainty of running buddies, and there are times when I just want to leave it behind and disconnect for 30 minutes. I tried to do a 5K without my phone, and as a result the Fit 3's run tracking and mapping was off by about half a kilometer, or three-tenths of a mile. The Fit 3 can track over 100 different exercises and will automatically log runs, walks, rowing and elliptical workouts. However, auto-tracking isn't enabled by default, so you'll have to toggle it on in the settings. You can also take it swimming (just not waterskiing) because it's rated for 5ATM (50 meters) and has an IP68 rating. The heart rate data from the Polar chest strap (left) compared with the Galaxy Fit 3 on the same 5K run. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET I tested the heart rate tracking alongside my Polar chest strap (the gold standard for consumer-facing heart rate monitoring) and found it to be generally accurate, though slower to register heart rate spikes. This is fairly common with most wrist-based devices I've tested. Once I approached my peak heart rate (all-out effort), the Fit 3 showed a 2- to 5-point difference compared with the chest strap and took a couple of seconds to catch up. However, in the workout summary, the final numbers for average and peak heart rate were similar and within 2 points of each other. The Fit 3 also offers high and low heart rate alerts, but it lacks an ECG app. It can monitor stress levels and blood oxygen saturation, and it even has a fall detection feature that calls emergency services if it senses a hard fall and you don't get up. You can also activate SOS manually by pressing the side button five times. Galaxy Fit 3 sleep The Fit 3 has robust sleep tracking features, similar to those found on Samsung's flagship Galaxy Watches. The Fit 3 can detect sleep stages and even monitor snoring using the Galaxy phone's microphone. After seven nights, it also provides personalized sleep coaching, though I didn't accumulate enough data in my testing to activate this feature. It also delivers a sleep score each morning that should correlate with your energy levels, but I found it a bit questionable, considering it gave me a score of 91 (aka "Excellent") on a night when I slept for only six and a half hours. The Galaxy Fit 3 is comfortable to strap on and wear all day. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Who should buy the Galaxy Fit 3? The Galaxy Fit 3 isn't going to blow anyone away with its features or design, but it might with its price. At $60, it's the lowest cost of entry for Galaxy phone users looking to start tracking their health and fitness within the same ecosystem. Its sleek design, robust health metrics, and long-lasting battery make it worth considering even if you don't have a Samsung phone. There are a few budget smartwatches worth your money, and though this one isn't the best or the only option, it's a solid pick, with a simple and easy-to-navigate UI. The biggest problem might be actually getting your hands on it. As of publishing, it's out of stock at the Samsung Store and available only through third-party retailers like Walmart.
