If you hate parallel parking, you're gonna loooove this quick fix for your car.
1. A magnetic air fryer cheat sheet to help minimize effort and maximize deliciousness, no googling, overthinking, or confusing cooking methods required.
Promising review:"I am pleased with this product. It is almost impossible to remember the cooking times and temperatures of so many items that can be cooked in my air fryer. This handy guide takes the guesswork out of the process. I bought three for family members for Christmas." — Gerry L. Winters
Get it from Amazon for $7.18 (available in two colors).
2. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer, an oil-free moisturizer formulated with ceramide and niacinamide, so it might actually replace more than one step in your skincare. This lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer is formulated to strengthen the skin barrier to lock in hydration not just after you put it on, but in the long term, too. Reviewers are especially obsessed with how well it works as a makeup primer!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
I have had on and off dry patches on my face for *checks watch* my whole life, which I just accepted as a consequence of being a human in their thirties who spends a lot of time outdoors in cold weather. It took like two seconds for my (SPECTACULAR) dermatologist to assess the situation and recommend this. The dry patches around my mouth and eyes were gone within two days of using this. It absorbs so quickly into the skin that I was almost scared it wasn't doing anything, but the long-term results are undeniable. My skin is softer, and I was able to cut out the expensive niacinamide and exfoliant I was using, making this one of the most cost-effective skincare moves of my life. I am so grateful my dermatologist recommended this to me, and I only wish I'd gone to see her about it much sooner!
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available with SPF and in multiple sizes).
3. A gaming/reading/laptop pillow to prop your hands up while you're playing video games, typing, or reading on your Kindle or iPad. This supports your arms for a more ~ergonomically-friendly~ experience whether you're in bed or on a couch, and even features a lil' side pocket for things like remote controls, glasses, and — of course — emergency snacky snacks.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the gaming pillow in action.
Promising review:"I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote. It's so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." — Jenn Butterfield
Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in three styles).
4. A ceiling fan carbon filter that's about to be any allergy-prone human's hero — you can hide it on top of a ceiling fan blade, where it will secretly pick up dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens and improve the air quality of the room. Take THAT, pesky particles.
Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $16.49.
5.
A set of reviewer-beloved "Loops Engage 2," a meticulously designed ear plug that blocks out distracting, irritating, or overwhelming noise without completely blocking out the world around you — meaning you can wear them to focus at the office or keep yourself from getting overstimulated in a noisy home without seeming antisocial. (Especially since these are so subtle that nobody will notice them!)
Amazon
Promising review:"I work in a laboratory so I am constantly surrounded by lots of sounds varying in pitch and frequency which can be very overwhelming, especially for someone with noise sensitivities. I have had multiple people recommend these to me, so I decided to give them a try. I so happy I did! When I put these in it feels like I'm coming into my peaceful little bubble. They allow me to have a higher tolerance of noise and have overall reduced my stress and overstimulation of the environment I'm in. It seems like they do a good job at blocking out noises I personally find the most distressing (ie. high pitched, constant noises)." — Makayla
Get it from Amazon for $27.95 (available in five colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!).
6. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth!
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
I've had one of these for awhile, and I love it! I usually use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular.
Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard. Those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — Amy N.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.49.
7. CeraVe's Hydrating cleanser made with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin — aka, all the good stuff to hydrate your face and remove makeup and oil without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Psst — a lot of reviewers with sensitive skin and acne swear by this, because it's super gentle *and* super effective.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
I SWEAR by this facial cleanser. I used to be pretty acne-prone and have dry spots on my skin, but after I switched to this (which I follow up with the snail mucin essence in the evenings), my skin lost that rough "bumpy" texture from the tiny acne clusters and stayed suuuper hydrated. It's a heck of a lot easier to put my makeup on now, because my skin isn't randomly crusty or overly-moisturized. It also just feels really good on my skin!
Promising review:"Got this after seeing a recommendation on TikTok. It's been a lifesaver for me. I have dry, red, sensitive, acne-prone skin. Most cleansers strip my skin, but not this one. It's been helping keep my skin clear while not drying it for a few months now. If you have dry skin this is a must!" — L. Ashburne
Get it from Amazon for $15.48.
8. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller you simply swipe over your face like a magic wand that makes excess oil disappear — super convenient and *way* less wasteful than using blotting strips and time wasting than fancy powders that need a ton of blending work.
Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.11.
9. A magnetic necklace detangling clasp so you can layer your favorite pieces over an outfit the exact way you want them without having to pull them apart like bickering siblings at the end of each day.
Promising review: "This is my second one! Love it so much since it can keep my necklaces safe and untangled with its strong magnet. Safe me so much time layering all the necklaces I have. Literally takes one second to put on!" — Nichole Li
Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in gold, rose gold, and silver, and with two or three clasps).
10. A revolving spice rack complete with 20 matching jars already labeled and filled with spices — truly an item so functional that you'd bring a small tear to Ina Garten's eye. Extreme bonus: this product comes with a code to get free refills on the spices for FIVE CALENDAR YEARS.
Wayfair
This includes whole allspice, mustard seed, marjoram, black pepper, basil, garlic salt, coriander, caraway seed, dill weed, Italian seasoning, poultry seasoning, thyme, rosemary, savory, oregano, parsley, bay leaves, crushed mint, celery salt, and pizza seasonings. That's a whole lot of spiced deliciousness for one price.
Promising review:"Do I feel like a chef!?! I have never owned a spice rack before. I totally forgot that this one came with the spices included, as well as, a code for refills (you just pay shipping). I love this sleek chrome design. It looks great on my counter." — Heather
Get it from Wayfair for $45.05 (originally $60).
11. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller deeply beloved by pet owners — it's like a sticky lint roller, but specifically designed to pick up pet hair and not only lock it in, but stash it inside the roller itself, so you don't end up making matters worse by just shoving the hair around instead of getting rid of it properly.
Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $19.59 (available in three styles).
12. An adorably encouraging daily planner you can fill out throughout the course of each day to keep yourself on track for all your calls, goals, and even your water intake. This is especially ideal for hybrid workers because you can tear off each sheet as you go instead of lugging the whole planner around with you!
Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.
Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.
Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in 14 styles).
13. And a magnetic dry erase cleaning checklist to break down your chores into small, manageable chunks on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis so you don't get overwhelmed. Look, sometimes your brain just needs that little serotonin boost of getting to check a thing off its list to motivate you.
www.amazon.com
Penguin Planner is a small business that specializes in organization products.
Promising review: "I'm the worst at cleaning consistently but this has helped and motivated me a lot! Some tasks I do everyday (like wipe kitchen counters and pick up trash around the house) others I do once a week. Even if I don't do the weekly tasks every week I still get a lot more done then I have before. Highly recommend you try if you're trying to be better at keeping a tidy home." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
14. A blind spot mirror so you can stop playing a game of "should I, would I, could I??" with traffic when you merge into other lanes (and parallel park without strangers stopping on the street to ask if they can help you, hahaha don't look at me).
Amazon
Promising review:"I bought these for my mom's car and mine a while back ago and these little things are great. Since I got my license, I've hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these it's been a blessing, I feel less like a scared new driver. I'm currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these too! These are also great for backing up, because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind, and it's helpful when I parallel park in the city." — Mariam Abass
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.36+ (available in seven shapes).
15. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper to make you feel like a golden god in your kitchen — this gadget julienne, chops, spiralizes, and slices vegetables in an instant and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.86 (available in multiple styles and five colors).
16. A pack of cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels — these ultra-soft, chemical-free disposable towels are ideal for drying your face or pairing with a makeup remover or face wash to gently remove makeup at the end of the day. A lot of folks with sensitive skin *swear* by these, particularly because it helps prevent exposing their skin to bacteria that may collect in ordinary reusable towels.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products.
Promising review:"I absolutely love these. I saw these on TikTok and bought them. I will be buying more. They are great for my face. Really soft and VERY durable and strong, even when wet. You can wash your face [with it] or just dry your face, either way, it's the best option." — Sahara
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $15.26.
17. A luxe reversible satin sleeping bonnet for anyone who wants the best in comfort, use, AND aesthetic. This not only protects your curls and hairstyles overnight, but features an adjustable strap and soft elastic, so not only does it STAY PUT, but it doesn't leave creases on your forehead in the morning. Hats off to this bonnet!!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Best bonnet ever! Cute, comfy, practical, and good quality. I had this very same one six years ago. When it wore down I replaced it with the same one. My other bonnets had straps that dangled awkwardly on my forehead. This one has a seamless strap and it adjusts well. And not once has it fallen off my head in the middle of the night. Get it!" — Shalimar
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 15 styles).
18. A set of universal reusable K-cup pods so not only will you cut down on environmental waste, but you can get reeeeal picky about exactly what blends you're brewing into your beloved cuppa every morning. We are all officially getting too old not to have Annoyingly Specific Coffee Preferences, and this is here to help us on that journey.
Promising review: "Works great for my Keurig. I feel better not throwing away all those pods! Love the pod measuring scoop! The pods work great and are easy to use and clean. I just open the pod top and tap the bottom of the pod over the garbage to empty. Great value for money." — Kindle Customer
Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.95 (also available with a scoop).
19. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents.
Amazon
Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers.
Promising review:"Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" — Briana R.
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options).
20. A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck so you can light all your coziest, deepest candles without worrying about the "YIKES" of being near an open flame. This is also windproof and super portable for anyone looking for options to light candles or fires outside, too!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. Now I'm able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it's hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I've only had to charge it once since I purchased it. I Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." — Cassandra S.
"Another product I got from TikTok. It's a necessity. No more struggling and almost burning yourself. Stays charged for days. A week at most if you use it frequently." — Nijada
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in eight colors and in two packs).
21. A magnetic microwave cover perfect for anyone whose Panera soup obsession is a little *too* well documented over every surface inside of their microwave. This conveniently sticks to the top of your microwave so you can pop it right off whenever you're looking to tear up some broccoli cheddar on a wild Tuesday night.
Hover Cover is a small business that specializes in microwave covers for home kitchen use.
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 $22.94 (also available in two-packs).
22. A purse organizer insert for anyone who is committed to the ~tote bag~ lifestyle, but doesn't love digging through them like a feral raccoon. Another perk? If you're switching out your purse, all you have to do is slide the organizer out and pop it in with all your stuff raring to go.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that).
Promising review: "Lightweight but sturdy, never collapsed in the bag. Perfectly fit in my tote. Red color makes it a lot easier to find my stuff. Worth the price." — Grace Vuluvala
Get it from Amazon for $7.64+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors).
23. A wireless charging desk and mousepad to make juicing up your phone and AirPods so thoughtlessly easy that you might literally just set them down and recharge them by accident.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Loved putting my phone down and have it charge while working and not have to think about it. The added bonus of having it look good with a wireless mouse and keyboard setup. The mouse works wonderfully on the pad. Pad feels sturdy and will last a long time. Ordered the medium, and thankfully, it worked out that it fit my setup area perfectly. Overall, great item to have for my workspace." — Ken Situ
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in nine colors and six sizes).
24. "The Clean Ball," which is a nifty little gizmo you can stick in your purse or bag to pick up all the crumbs and debris that settle down there — now it'll be clean as a whistle whenever you go rooting through it, and you won't have to get all the "ick!!" on your belongings.
Promising review: "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).
25. A set of Stretchlace shoelaces, aka the Elastigirl of shoelaces — these might look like ordinary kicks, but they're made of stretchy elastic that lets you pull your shoes on and off without retying them, easy as pie.
Stretchlace is a US-based small business that specializes in elastic shoelaces.
Promising review:"I saw these on Shark Tank, so decided to try a pair. They are AMAZING! These are in shoes that I wear for workout classes that involve plenty of stepping and cardio... my shoes do not slip or feel loose at all, but stay as snug as if they had traditional shoelaces. No more loose shoestrings, no more tying, and untying. What a great invention! Hey you little kids with Velcro fasteners, move over! Grown-up laces are here!" — Leah
26. A Squatty Potty, one of those internet-famous stools you can put at the base of your toilet to prop your feet up on while you ~go~. The placement helps align your colon to make the process a whole lot easier and faster — like, 20 seconds compared to several minutes! — so you don't end up watching all of TikTok while you're waiting yourself out.
Amazon
Psst — a lot of reviewers with chronic constipation and other gastrointestinal issues that get them ~backed up~ swear by this! Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"My constipation issues have gotten worse due to stress. This works. I felt a little odd elevating my feet and placing them on the Squatty Potty, but within no time, I was able to poop with ease. I definitely recommend this product for those who struggle with constipation." — Kale
Get it from Amazon for $21.45+ (available in three sizes).
27. A backseat hook perfect for purses and groceries so when you're out running a zillion errands, you don't have to worry about your box of seltzers picking a fight with your purse rolling around on the floor of your car.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw this product in a TikTok video for 'products on Amazon you didn't know you needed' and added it to my cart. I didn't actually purchase it until I got a new, bigger car, and my kids were sick of me setting my big purse on their feet in the car. It's easy to snap on and stays in place. Money well spent!" — Asha Brown
Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99 (available in two colors).
28. An hanging purse organizer that will not only hold all your bags, but will ROTATE 360 degrees around, so you can put on a lil' fashion show for them every day. The 83 tote bags on my closet floor are shaking.
Promising review:"I have recently gotten more and more purses and needed a way to organize them better and this was a great solution. It is easy to take purses on and off, and it looks cute in my closet too. The hanger is very sturdy, and it is lightweight when empty. I like that I can see all my purses in one place, and the hanger will turn a little as well so you can easily grab which one you want. It added great organization and better functionality to my closet." — Emma Stokes
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four colors and multipacks).
29. A car dashboard anti-slip pad designed to be sticky enough that nothing will ever slide off that surface again — I'm talking phones, GPS screens, baby mirrors, glasses, or even just cute little accessories to liven the place up. It's like having a lil' sticky trap for your stuff right in your car.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "A perfect catch-all! Purchased this for my son to put on his dashboard to catch things when he gets into his car — he tosses his wallet and and his phone up there. The product doesn't leave a sticky residue on anything and it's been in a hot car, and I have seen no significant wear down. Very durable, very stable. Excellent value. I'm so happy with the performance and fit of this." — Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $8.39 (available in five styles).
30. An energy-efficient auto-adjusting amber night-light designed to be gentle and soft so it won't impact your sleep rhythms or strain your eyes with the same intensity as blue light. Reviewers swear by these for lighting their bedrooms, bathrooms, or hallways for when they want to get up at night, but don't want harsh light to wake them up.
Amazon
Promising review: "We got these to transition away from blue light at night to help with our sleep schedule. This is the perfect color and intensity for keeping you sleepy while waking up at night to use the bathroom. They're nice and lightweight making it easy to plug into any outlet without issues. They turn on when it gets dark by themselves so it's super easy to plug in and leave in. No flickering or issues with them turning on when dark." — mat
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors).
31. A bar soap bag, which is the ultimate hack not just to exfoliate your skin with your favorite bar soaps, but to *really* get your money's worth out of them — these produce much richer lather so a little goes a loooong way, and you won't have to replace your bars as often.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've only been using these for four days but my skin is smoother! I like that I'm not using plastic bottles for my body soap. I am using the least exfoliating one for now. But once I'm totally used to it, I will move up to the other one. So far, I'm impressed. Lots of lather and my soap doesn't slip out of my hands anymore!" — Doris M.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99 (NOTE: these are available in deep exfoliating, gentle exfoliating, and a pack of both!).
32. Puppington's 3-in-1 Crossbody Bag that's the hot ticket item for dog owners — this chic bag functions as a purse, a treat dispenser, AND a poop bag dispenser, which will make you the most fashionable, functional pet owner on the block.

Puppington is a small business that specializes in pet accessories.
Promising review: "We are training our puppy, and I needed a fanny pack with a sizable and easy-to-clean treat pouch. It matches her collar that we have too. I can easily fit my phone (iPhone 14 pro), house keys, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and anything else I need to grab. The separate pocket for treats has a great, easily wipeable liner and fits DAYS worth of training treats. The dog poop bag holder is the best addition! High quality that doesn't feel like it's going to just fall apart." — Mallory
Get it from Amazon for $39.19 (available in nine colors).
33. Aquaphor's Healing Balm Stick made with avocado oil and shea butter to soothe all those dry, cracked spots that pop up on your human body. This is perfectly portable so you can get relief on the go!

Promising review: "RUN to buy this, I repeat… RUN. I bought one of these about two years ago, and it's STILL going strong. Aquaphor is amazing. We all know that. Buuut the convenience of having it in a tube is life-changing. It truly is as easy as one, two, three. It can easily be applied to anything you could possibly need. I've used it on brand new tattoos, dry/chapped skin (hands, feet, legs, lips etc.), and the edge of my hairline to protect my skin from hair dye!" — Tara Fossa
Get it from Amazon for $10.47.
34. A rapid veggie and fish steamer so you can be like, "BOOM. SIDE DISH!" without actually putting in any work beyond pressing a few buttons and waiting five minutes.
Amazon
Promising review:"Works great. I steam my veggies in these because I don't feel like taking forever to cook, so these are very quick to get some steamed veggies done! I have not smelled any plastic after using these and it's actually a lot bigger than the picture looks like. You can fit so much in there." — Tanya
Get it from Amazon for $12.59.
35. A cloud-shaped utility knife you *need* in your life if you're a person who gets a lot of packages — this will save you a whole lot of time and effort (and DESPAIR over your ruined nails) with quick, easy cuts.

Get a set of six from Amazon for $13.99.
36. A two-slice touchscreen toaster with all the fanciness of the $350 TikTok-famous version and none of the "YIKESSSSS" of the price tag. This lets you select seven different toastiness levels for your bread, and specify if you're putting other carbs in there, like bagels, English muffins, waffles, and even gluten-free bread.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love this toaster! It has all the options I need: lifter, countdown timer, visual icon of the toast colors, and all the toast varieties anyone could want, from white to grain to bagel to waffle to English muffin to gluten-free. It not only has reheat and defrost options, you can even add more toasting time, too. Truly, it has all the bells and whistles anyone could want and is easy to use." — Tanya Feddern-Bekcan

People Share Frustrating Parts Of Today's Beauty Standards

As women in the modern world, it's hard enough dealing with everyday pressures. But on top of that, there's the added stress of having to look a certain way — especially with social media broadcasting idealized versions of faces and bodies. Are people allowed to have fine lines and wrinkles anymore? Be in public without a stitch of makeup? Do we all need to have a perfectly slim waist, but curves in all the other right places? Have rock-hard abs and less than 20% body fat? It's a cycle of trying to find peace, then logging into social media and seeing everyone looking perfect.

'Relieved my neck pain': Shoppers 60+ love this bestselling cervical pillow — just $39

Fans credit this contoured head cushion for giving them a much comfier slumber: 'Sleeping on my back is no longer an issue.' In a perfect world, drifting off and staying asleep for hours would be a simple nightly ritual. But anyone with neck pain knows it's not that easy. Proper alignment is tricky when you're out cold — and waking at 3 a.m. with an aching neck is a sure way to miss out on those full eight hours. That's why special headrests like the No. 1 bestselling Cozyplayer Cooling Cervical Pillow exist. It was designed to support your noggin while keeping your neck's natural curve intact — and the fact that it's currently on sale at Amazon makes it anything but a snoozefest. Why is it a good deal? 💰 While this isn't the absolute lowest the pillow has hit, you can't put a price on getting a good night's sleep. That said, we'll take the $20 discount! Similar pillows can set you back $60 or more, plus this one has thousands of fans to back it up. Why do I need this? 🤔 What sets the Cozyplayer Cooling Cervical Pillow apart from your standard sleep cushion? For starters, its contoured design features a concave space to place your head, and it's ever so slightly tilted — 15 degrees — to keep your neck in position and aligned with your spine. This helps alleviate pressure, which in turn can combat pain and stiffness. According to Mather Hospital's David J. BenEliyahu, DC, "If you suffer with neck pain, especially after you wake up in the morning, you should consider using a special cervical or neck pillow. Sleeping with a cervical pillow can improve your neck posture, thus supporting tight muscles in your neck and shoulders. It also reduces the mechanical stress on the neck joints by keeping your neck in proper alignment." What should you look for in a pillow? Dr. BenEliyahu says, "The pillow must be flexible and be able to accommodate your head and support your neck. Looking from the side, your neck should be in alignment with your spine and parallel to the mattress. If you sleep on your back, you want your pillow to have enough give to let your head sink down and then support the neck." With that in mind, you can adjust the height of the Cozyplayer pillow by using or removing the memory foam insert at its base. Because its core is made up of 98% memory foam, it strikes just the right balance between comfortable and supportive — and if you sleep hot? You'll appreciate its Q-Max 0.4 Arc-Chill cooling pillowcase, which makes the pillow more breathable. What reviewers say 💬 More than 4,000 snoozers felt this pillow was worthy of a five-star rating. Pros 👍 "I am 69 years old and suffer from both cervical and lumbar osteoarthritis," shared one shopper. "To complicate life a bit more, I have never been able to sleep on my back or even in just one position. Most mornings, I would wake sore and stiff. Since receiving [this] pillow, my old pillow has been re-tasked with elevating my knees, and sleeping on my back is no longer an issue; in fact, the only things that disturb my sleep are my cats and my dog." "I've been using this pillow for over six months now, and my neck and shoulder pain is gone," wrote another. "I used to wake up with a stiff neck and [a] burning feeling that extended from my neck to my shoulder in the trapezius muscle. I'm quite happy with this pillow. Not only has it relieved my neck pain, it's very comfortable in most sleeping positions. I tend to move around a lot at night." "Best pillow for neck support ever!" exclaimed a third. "I have spent so much money trying to find a pillow to help me sleep better. I suffer from arthritis and RA. I have constant neck and shoulder pain. Sleeping was horrible. This pillow has been a life changer. And help keeps my neck secure." Cons 👎 "I have noticed an improvement in my neck pain since using this pillow. I'm also a hot sleeper and it's definitely helped with that too," began one reviewer. "If I had a negative, it would be that your neck has to be in the center; if you are somewhat off-center, there is some discomfort." "I've been using this for a couple of nights, and I definitely can say that I haven't experienced any neck pain and my sweating seems to have lessened," wrote a final fan. "My only complaint is that the pillow feels too low and flat for me. I actually place it on top of another pillow for more height, but I know that the manufacturer offers an extra foam insert, so I may reach out to them." (This is correct, you can contact the brand if it feels too low.) And for the rest of your body... If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

The medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Mask is on a rare Amazon sale

I've lost count of how many Korean skincare brands I've tested over the years. From cult classics to niche launches that barely make it beyond the Seoul underground, I've tried everything: ampoules, essences, toners, serums — you name it, I've put it on my face. Of all the brands I've reviewed, medicube has been one of the few I keep coming back to. So when I saw its Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask (four of them!) for less than $20 on Amazon, I didn't hesitate. At first, I thought it was a listing error. This mask is sold in a four-pack, which means each treatment comes out to under $5. That's practically unheard of for something packed with PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) and low-molecular-weight collagen: two powerhouse ingredients usually reserved for spa-level treatments or professional skincare lines. But no, the price was real, and naturally, I added it to my cart instantly. Advertisement Amazon I already had high expectations. I've reviewed nearly everything medicube has released — from its Zero Pore Pads to the Deep Vita C Capsule Cream — and I know the brand doesn't mess around when it comes to formulation. But even then, I wasn't expecting this mask to be this good. The texture alone made me pause. It's not your standard paper-thin sheet mask. This is a jelly gel mask that's cool to the touch, slightly plush and absolutely saturated in a thick, milky serum. It clings to the face just enough to stay put, but it's still best used while lying down. What caught me by surprise was how the color began to shift. The mask starts out an opaque pink but fades to almost clear as the ingredients absorb. I didn't even know I wanted a visual cue like that, but it was oddly satisfying to see it work in real time. And, once I took it off, my skin looked smoother, calmer and noticeably more hydrated. That post-mask glow wasn't just a trick of the light, and I was impressed. I could feel the difference the next morning, too. My skin felt firmer and bouncier, like I'd gotten a solid eight hours of sleep (I hadn't). It reminded me of the feeling I get after using medicube's Collagen Jelly Cream ($20), which I've raved about before. But this mask felt even more potent, a little more concentrated and certainly more luxurious. I know marketing claims can be hit or miss, but medicube actually backs theirs its numbers. Its internal tests reported over 79% immediate hydration improvement, with skin maintaining nearly 40% more moisture after 24 hours. The brand even measured improvements in fine lines, elasticity and skin texture. While I can't speak to the lab data personally, I can say my own results lined up, especially around my eyes and forehead, where I usually see the first signs of dullness when I'm tired or dehydrated. The Final Verdict While I love a good skin 'treat' (naturally), this mask has become more than that for me. It has become a regular part of my regular routine, especially on days when my skin is tired, dry or just feeling a little dull. It delivers real results, and it feels good while doing it. If you're deep into Korean skincare like I am — or even just starting out and want something that performs like a high-end product without the high-end price tag — this mask is a smart bet. For less than $5 per use, I get firmer, more hydrated, visibly refreshed skin. That's a result I'll happily pay for again and again.
