Think of it as an impulse purchase you'll be really really glad to have when *the* moment finally arrives.
1. A hair bun snap wrap, so you can always show off the *perfect* bun. All you have to do is wrap your hair around the tool, roll it up to your scalp, and then snap it closed — it's basically a slap bracelet for your hair!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
These even come in several colors to blend in with your hair, so no one has to know you achieved that bun with some help!
Promising review:"I am surprised these work on my hair. 👍🏼 I have REALLY thick, curly (or puffy depending if I brush it which I don't because I look like I've been electrocuted) below my shoulder, layered hair... AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS! I was very very happy. It was so easy and quick. Yep...I love em. 😁" — Just Jenn
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).
2. A mod Otherland candle with a 55-hour burn time! It's made from a blend of coconut soy wax and an array of obsession-worthy fragrance choices. Set the mood in your space with a scent that makes your heart sing each time you catch a whiff!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
My coworker Heather Braga has this to say about Otherland Candles:"I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the USA."
Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in five scents).
3. An under-$5 tube of Essence Lash Princess mascara because who wants to deal with wearing falsies when you can get an equally voluminous look with a few swipes? This cruelty-free lengthening mascara boasts a long-lasting, sweat-resistant, flake- and clump-free formula, so you can bat those lashes without any worries.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower (pictured above) has to say:"This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. You can see my before and after photos above. This stuff is magic."
Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat [ridiculously]...and this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Weikert
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors).
4. Plus, an innovative, MUA-approved eyelash comb that allows you to remove clumps of mascara and separate eyelash strands for a cleaner, neater, and fuller look.

Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two colors).

Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and seven colors).
6. A versatile veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer that can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. If you've ever dreamed of having a sous chef while you meal prep, this will do pretty much the same thing and doesn't require hiring someone to do it for you!

7. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, which boasts a blend of caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to help *visibly* firm and moisturize skin.

Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I've tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I've tried. I love the scent. Sol de Jeneiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." — Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes).
8. A cross-hatch tissue holder — do you need it? No, but since allergy season is on its way, you might as well make the tissue boxes you're going through look like they belong in the foreground of a featured home in Apartment Therapy!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones were scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling
Get it from Amazon for $44.99.

Amazon
Set includes a retractable net, two paddles, three balls, and a storage case.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three set sizes).
11. L'Oréal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion, a lightweight tinted moisturizer that goes on effortlessly and is formulated with a blend of glycerin and shea butter to keep your skin hydrated underneath! It delivers a similar shimmery, dewy glow to your complexion as Glossier Futuredew, which retails for over twice the price.
Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in five shades).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is the perfect throw for summer nights as it is lightweight. Yet since it is muslin it will adjust to the climate so I'm sure it will be so cozy during the winter time. It's beautiful and so soft and now I don't have to steal my son's blankets! It is so soft, cuddly, and beautiful." — A&E
Get it from Amazon for $29.89+ (available in six sizes and 22 colors).
13. A pair of Levi's Ribcage jeans because high-rise jeans will never go out of style and paired with the straight-leg silhouette and cropped ankle length, neither will your fashion sense.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Bought these for both my daughter and me, and they look great on both of us!!! They're extremely comfortable, and they stretch just enough. The quality is exactly what you expect from Levi's. We purchased three pairs in total and plan on purchasing more in other colors." — Lulu Herrera
Get them from Amazon for $42.61+ (available in women's sizes 24–32 Standard and 35–38 Plus and in 10 washes).
14. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you work from home and need to make sure you show up as "active" or "online" even if you've stepped away for a bathroom break, some fresh air, or even a quick coffee run! You won't need to update your Slack, Teams, or Gchat status every time you get up from your desk with this little gadget.
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 $17.56+ (available in four styles).
15. A tennis bracelet that looks waaaay more expensive than it actually is, but no one has to know you spent less than 20 bucks on your new favorite accessory! The sophisticated sparkle will usher in so many compliments, and some reviewers even say it's similar to a much much pricier Swarovski piece! Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. 🤫
Promising review: "I have a real diamond tennis bracelet. It is set in white gold, and I tend to wear it only on special occasions because it's expensive and it would break my heart to lose it. I really wanted one set in yellow gold but didn't want to spend that kind of money. Plus, I wanted to wear it most days with a stack of others. The quality blew me away! The stones are set perfectly and don't snag on sweaters or other fabrics. It is lightweight on my wrist but doesn't look cheap. I wear it comfortably all day without thought. The size of the stone at 3 mm is just perfect, in my opinion, and doesn't look garish and fake... I have been wearing it pretty much daily and the clasp seems very durable with easy on and off. So far, no tarnishing (but it's not summer yet, so we shall see). This is now my new favorite brand of jewelry for its quality, design, and pricing! I will be adding more pieces to my collection." — A. Hessong
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two styles, three colors, and three sizes).
16. A coffee syrup dispenser set for your coffee bar, so you can enjoy your favorite handcrafted lattes from the comfort of your home. One morning you're going to wake up and dance your way to your at-home coffee bar because you don't have to drive across town for the perfect cup of morning joe!
www.amazon.com
Each set includes 24 premade labels, four blank labels, and a foldable silicone funnel.
New England Stories is a small business offering a range of homegoods.
Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about storing a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $26.99 (available in three colors and two- and six-packs).
17. A tattoo aftercare salve designed to make your tattoos pop like you just left the shop, whether it's been a few days or a few years. A cruelty-free and vegan formula helps soothe and protect skin to keep your previous "canvas" looking good as new.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Mallory Mower uses Mad Rabbit on her tattoos, and here's her take:"Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!"
College buddies Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor founded Mad Rabbit after realizing there was a gap in the market for all-natural products used to heal, protect, and enhance the appearance of tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.
Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward
Get it from Amazon for $16.30+ (available in two scents).
18. "The Clean Ball," which helps collect dirt, dust, and crumbs from the bottom of your backpack, purse, or tote. Whatever debris it comes across attaches to the interior sticky ball, so once it's "full" or gross-looking, you just squeeze the exterior, remove the sticky part, and rinse it off! *Opens bag because it's a new season* ...Is that a granola bar???
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether
"This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it's ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" — dj3biggs
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors and multipacks).
19. A scrunchie/towel hybrid to absorb excess water in your hair, so it can dry faster without any heat. It makes a perfect wash-n-go companion on days when you don't have time to blow dry before heading out, but you can also use it to hold your hair back during your morning skincare routine!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Kitsch is a woman-owned brand based in LA that creates cute *and* functional hair and skin accessories.
Promising review:"I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." — Meghan
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in two styles).
20. A handheld milk frother so you can enjoy your at-home latte the same way you would at a café: with creamy, frothy foam on top. Transform your milk in seconds — which is less time than it takes to even order a latte, TBH — with this must-have gadget that takes up practically zero counter space and is a great budget-friendly alternative to the pricier Nespresso Aeroccino.
This one doesn't heat up milk though like the Nespresso, but still worth it!
Promising review:"All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that it comes with a cute holder for it." — Kayla Dillinger
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 styles/colors).
21. An adjustable microfiber duster brush with a genius blade-like design, so you can clean several blinds with a single swipe! If you've been wondering where all the dust in your house is coming from — it's probably the blinds... 👀
www.amazon.com
Each duster includes four reusable microfiber sleeves.
Promising review:"This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." — Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
22. Kitsch's iconic claw clip — a top-rated accessory beloved for its durability and elegant metal design that'll make even the messiest of buns look stylishly intentional.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in hematite, gold, and as a pair).
23. A cheese keeper that allows your hard *and* soft cheeses to breathe while also preventing them from drying out when stored. If you love an expensive cheese ::raises hands:: you're definitely going to want this in your fridge the next time you feel like fixing up a charcuterie board!
Amazon
Promising review:"Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" — Awesome Taste
Get it from Amazon for $12.84.

www.amazon.com
Promising review: " I buy these frequently because I've never had a bad pair. I tend to buy two or three pairs at a time. They are good shoes that wear well and are comfortable. I toss mine in the laundry now and again to keep them clean and fresh. I wear mine for everything — work, play, to restaurants, gardening, and morning walks." — RobertW
Get them from Amazon for $33.17+ (available in women's sizes 5–17.5 and in various colors).
25. An avocado pit planter so you can literally reap what you sow (in due time) by growing your own avocado plant even if you don't have a garden, yard, or window box. You simply pop your clean avocado seed into the bottle opening, which cradles it above the water to keep it dry and allow ample room for the roots to flourish and seedling to sprout! And the best part? You get a front-row seat to it all.
BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower owns this, and here's her personal review:"I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great!"
Promising review:"I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it's some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" — Alysia
Get it from Amazon for $16.29.
26. A collection of ombre nesting bowls to take your kitchen to new heights with gorgeous color coordination. These baking must-haves are dishwasher-, freezer-, and food safe, BPA free, and designed with nonslip bottoms. And the lids even have a peek-a-boo design, so you can see what's in each bowl!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:" I like the fact that these bowls are deep rather than wide so they don't take up a lot of shelf space. The colors are beautiful. I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in different set sizes and styles).
27. A pickle keeper and juice strainer with a double-ended design, so you can flip it over, drain the juices, and grab 'em without getting juice all over your hands. It's perfect for anyone who loves pickles (duh), olives, and other brined foods. Looks like your snacking just leveled up!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
28. A serrated tomato knife designed to cleanly cut through the fruit without squashing it or squirting juice everywhere and making a massive mess. You actually might become obsessed once you see how much of a difference this makes during meal prep!
Promising review:"I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." — Jane S.
Get it from Amazon for $14.75.
29. A pair of open-hoop earrings that'll add some subtle glam to your everyday outfits. These are from the TikTok-famous jewelry brand Pavoi, known for their high-quality accessories that boast expensive looks at budget-friendly prices!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "OMG I'm obsessed with these earrings. They're so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They're great quality and I usually can't wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch [so much]. This one didn't do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn't do that either. I'm going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." — Ziyana Iyer
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes, three colors, and two styles).
30. A charming cut-to-size daisy print waterproof shelf liner if you want to make your kitchen shelving and fridge interior a little more ✨ aesthetic. ✨ It might not always be spring outside, but you can enjoy delightful year-round blooms every time you're in the mood for a snack!

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in eight sizes and 18 other styles).
31. A bottle of no-scrub, no-rinse, nontoxic Folex spot remover that effectively removes stains like yellow mustard grease drippings from your favorite takeout, ink, makeup after a hard nap, muddy paw prints, and sooooo much more from pretty much any fabric surface. The next time you spill red wine on the couch because of a White Lotus plot twist? You won't have to panic over how to clean it!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex
Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).
32. A pair of stylish silicone trivets created with a flexible design for use as pot holders or countertop protection when it's time to let your casserole cool. Not to mention, the muted pastel hues will add a lovely pop of color to your kitchen!

Scrubbing Bubbles / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie8Pubca84E, Scrubbing Bubbles
Promising review:"Helps reduce stains and odor between weekly cleanings. Has a pleasant fresh scent, not the strong bleach like the tablets. It lasts and stays on for quite awhile, but that depends on how many flushes." — HNL
Get 24 stamps from Amazon for $13.87.
34. The Pink Stuff All-Purpose Floor Cleaner if you want to see just how well The Pink Stuff works. This floor cleaner will take your dirty grout and stained tile to like-new appearances after scrubbing with this!

35. A water bottle organizer to help you optimize your cabinet space — so now you can see all your water bottles at once — by cutting down on clutter and making use of all that vertical space collecting dust!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: " This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I've been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" — Amazon Customer

Promising review:"Matched our counters and almost blends in completely. We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." — Shopmindfully
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and 16 colors/patterns).
37. A pair of YogaToes gemstone stretchers — this freaky little impulse buy is created with medical-grade gel to separate and stretch your toes for improved balance and posture. Reviewers with bunions, hammer toe, and plantar fasciitis swear by them, and even recommend popping them in the freezer to give your feet a sweet, soothing treat at the end of a long day!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I'm happy and I think I may get some as gifts. They easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes." — Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $36.95.
38. A sneaky CovoBox made of reclaimed books, so it looks like a curated collection of display books while hiding all the messy cords and surge protectors. Guests will be so impressed by the aesthetic that they won't even realize there are no cords around (until they need a charger, LOL)!

You can even customize the look before adding it to your cart, choosing from 14 length options and 15 colors.
Covogoods is a Utah-based, family-owned small business.
Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme
Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors).

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've been searching for a good window cleaner for four years. This cleans my dinette table better than any other cleaner. It's so clean you can see the reflection of my lighting in the glass, and that's the first time I've seen that. No streaking or residue, just clean (pictured above)." — ASull

41. A cervical neck "pillow" designed with innovative curvature to help align your spine and deliver ergonomic support, helping reduce pressure and relieve pain. It's even adorned with massage nodules to offer some added relaxation — like having a massage therapist and chiropractor in your home!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
As always, if you have any neck or back issues, you should talk to your doctor before use.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Mallory Mower has to say about this product:"After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture."
Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy
Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in six colors).
42. A 3-in-1 wireless charger to reduce the amount of cords cluttering your nightstand and simultaneously charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods! This fast-charging station is designed with ventilation to prevent overheating and a nonslip grip to prevent it from moving around on your tabletop. Plus, you can conveniently fold it down to take it with you when you travel!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love this charging station! I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two styles and eight colors).
43. An plush faux-fur area rug if you want to add a luxe accent to any room that's super cozy and looks like you dropped a lot of dough, but in reality... well, no one needs to know where you got it. 😉
Amazon
Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors).
44. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets — each portable packet holds 100 dissolvable sheets, so you can be confident there will *always* be soap to wash your hands...even if you wind up in the nastiest, never-seen-a-mop public restroom of your life. Stash one in your purse, your car, and your backpack, ASAP!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — woolymammoth
Get the three-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four scents and assorted sets of 100, 200, and 300).
45. A magnetic bobby pin tray to secure your dozens (possibly hundreds) of bobby pins in one place, so the next time someone asks if you have one, you'll be able to pull out your handy dandy holder.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love this product. My bathroom drawer looks so organized now that my bobby pins aren't all over the place. I loved that it came with bobby pins which I had no idea would be included! It's nice to also have some new bobby pins!" — Monica
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).
46. A shower phone holder, so you can continue watching your favorite Twitch stream or Real Housewives reunion without having to pause in order to bathe, LOL. Imagine winding down for a candle-lit tub soak and being able to watch your shows on the shower wall!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" — Jackie Donovan
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in nine colors).
47. A spiffy K-Cup storage drawer that'll take your coffee bar up a notch by providing a sleek stand for your Keurig *and* a place to organize your favorite pods of coffee, cocoa, and tea.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups.
Promising review:"I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." — tunisianswife
Get it from Amazon for $15.84+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
48. A friction- and scratch-resistant LED flat plate, which features three dimming options, so you can stay up late at night to read your latest Romantasy novel without disturbing anyone sleeping beside you. There are bookworms, and then there are sleepyheads...
www.amazon.com
It's battery powered and can last up to 48 hours at minimum brightness or just over 24 hours on medium brightness, so make sure to grab some AAA batteries to get reading!
Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two color temperatures).
49. A satin-lined beanie designed to keep your head warm when it's brisk outside without damaging or sucking all the moisture out of your carefully coiffed 'do. Hat hair? I don't know her!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This beanie is perfect for curly and wavy [people]! The entire inside is satin-lined. When I took the hat off it did not cause any damaged or frizzy curls! I am in love and need more colors!" — Crystal Ingram
Get it from Amazon $13.99+ (available in six colors).
50. And speaking of "coiffed 'dos": The John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam that's created for all hair types, making sure curls and waves are defined and shiny, while straight hair remains frizz-free and voluminous. We didn't know bedhead or a wash 'n' go could look this stunning, but apply some of this lightweight, nonsticky mousse to your wet hair and let the air-dry magic run its course!
www.amazon.com
It's also safe on color-treated hair!
Promising reviews: " I have very fine, thin, wavy hair. In order to give myself some volume, I usually gel my roots and mid-length hair... I decided to try this to just remove one less thing from my day. And it works! It has enough hold while it's drying that it keeps my waves, but is soft enough that I don't have to scrunch it at all." — Suzi
"I actually loved this more than I thought I would. I have naturally wavy hair but tend to be pretty lazy with styling on a regular basis. This product worked great with scrunching into wet hair in sections and allowing to air dry. I followed up with the Sun Bum Sea Salt Spray and my waves stayed for a few days with touch ups. I didn't have to use my diffuser and was able to style and go! Perfect for summer." — Lacey
" Wonderful on natural curls. I love that this product did not weigh down my hair. I put in this product, no blow drying needed. My hair is not sticky or crunchy. I totally recommend this product. Natural curls with no frizz." — 1Kittydog
Get it from Amazon for $8.95.
51. A TikTok remote control ring for scrolling through videos or flipping pages on your Kindle without touching your screen! This nifty gadget can even like videos when you're really vibing with your FYP. Pro-tip: grab a neck mount for your phone, so you can scroll for hours without becoming the Bent Neck Lady from looking down for so long!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can even use this remote to take hands-free photos or videos on your phone camera from up to 33 feet away!
Promising review:"I have a TikTok obsession, and I am thrilled with this ring! I love how versatile it is, too, where I can flip book pages on my phone and go through music as well. It's easy to use and set up if your follow the instructions." — The Shopper around the Corner
Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in six colors).
52. "Cookie Swap!" which features 50 recipes to teach you how to make every kind of cookie (well, a lot, at least!) — from classic drop cookies to heart-shaped sandwich cookies with jelly filling. Prepare to become the most talked about at this year's cookie exchange!
Amazon
And one more *personal* review from my lovely colleague, Mallory Mower:"I have this book! My husband loves baking and *I* love baking...recipes that are not hard. We make cookie tins for friends every year (I know, how wholesome, right?) and this book was a great way to shake up our ideas! The recipes are clear, the pictures are gorgeous, and this definitely a fun gift."
Get it from Amazon for $14.50.
