25 Target Products To Feel Like A Responsible Adult

Buzz Feed04-07-2025
A robot mop and vacuum that is the epitome of "work smarter, not harder." Or, I guess, actually, it's the epitome of "don't work at all, make a robot clean all the muddy dog footprints off your hardwood floors."
Promising review: "Currently obsessed with this thing. Love it so much. Such an improvement over the last robot vacuum/mop we bought and returned a couple of years ago. So far, I feel it is totally worth the extra money over the other brands. I have especially been surprised at the customization to cleaning different areas, from suction power to the rise of carpets and grain direction for wood floors! Also been surprised at it not getting stuck anywhere yet. It can go under and over better than my old robot did. Also, it is much quieter than I expected. I will probably start running the mop at night. The only con is my toddler is afraid of it, lol." —ElleBPrice: $599.99
A can organizer, because you are playing a dangerous game when you just stack your La Croix and Olipops all willy-nilly in your fridge. This organizer works for mini and full-size cans, and takes up less room than the big cardboard crate that they came in.
Promising review: "Great organization item! Sturdy. Holds up to three rows of cans. Regular size and mini cans both work." —BrittncourtPrice: $14
A set of two drawer dividers so you can finally store your clothes in a way that will allow you to actually find the stuff you want when you need it. Imagine it... buying a pair of socks and then actually knowing where they are because they didn't randomly migrate underneath a pile of T-shirts. Revolutionary!
Promising review: "Bought these for our baby's dresser to divide up her onesies and outfits and they are great! Easy to adjust and honestly just having the divide makes sorting her clothes so much easier. I am ready to buy more for our dresser." —SCmamaPrice: $15
A Keurig K-Cafe smart single-serve coffee maker that isn't just amazing because it can make cappuccinos and lattes as well as regular coffee. No, the truly amazing thing here is the Wi-Fi capability... yup, that means you can brew coffee without getting out of bed, just by using the app. Sometimes it's cool to live in the future, right?
Promising review: "I recently got the Keurig K-Café smart coffee maker and it's honestly amazing. The Wi-Fi feature is super convenient — I can start brewing from my phone, which is perfect for those mornings when I'm still half asleep. The different brew sizes are great too, whether I'm just grabbing a small cup or need a big one to power through the day. The milk frother is such a nice touch, and I've been making some really good lattes and cappuccinos at home. It's way easier to use than I expected, and cleaning it has been simple too. The black design looks sleek on my counter, which is a bonus. If you're thinking about upgrading your coffee setup, I'd totally recommend this one. It's been a game changer for me." —IsaacPrice: $199.99
A Bentgo two-tier snack cup that isn't just for kids — this is perfect for bringing two equally delicious (but totally incompatible) snacks to work. Pretzels and apple slices? Hummus and blueberries? Don't fear — the cup's two airtight compartments are totally separate, so there's no leakage (or spilled pretzel dust).
Price: $19.99 (available in five colors)
A pack of Pixi + Hello Kitty sheet masks that aren't just printed with adorable images of your fav cartoon kitty — they're soaked with vitamins A and C, and reviewers say they make their skin feel plump and ultra-hydrated.
Promising reviews: "Hands down the best sheet mask I've ever tried! Leaves skin plump, hydrated and glassy. I put mine in the fridge to chill before I applied and it just added to the overall rejuvenating effect. Go buy it!!" —Anonymous"Bought these just because they were Hello Kitty… ended up making my skin so soft and glowy for 24 hours. Evens helped the look of acne scarring." —kaitlynn jPrice: $10 for a pack of three
A clear stackable organizer tray that's the answer to your bathroom counter chaos. Say goodbye to a million little bottles you're always accidentally knocking off the edge of the sink... and hello to actually being able to properly organize your skincare.
Promising review: "I use these under my bathroom sink to organize my perfume, nail polish, face and hair oils. And I'm realizing I need to get more. They are durable. Easy to clean. Very high quality and don't scuff or scratch. These trays are the perfect size and really allow me to stay organized and aware of what products are where (super important for someone like me with ADHD)." —Target ShopperPrice: $5+ (available in five sizes)
A Theragun massage gun because Future You is going to be very, very pleased with Present You for buying this. This percussive massage tool has three attachments, plus an easy-to-hold triangle handle, so when your next back ache or strained calf muscle shows up, you're gonna be prepared to send it packing.
Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my son for Christmas, but one day my sciatica was acting up and I asked to borrow it. Just a few minutes of use gave me hours of relief." —JustmePrice: $159.99 (available in two colors)
An Our Place ceramic nonstick Always pan that works on, like, a bazillion different levels at once. It has a chic monochrome look that will make it the instant star of all your cooking posts, but it's also useful as heck: it can be used for baking, broiling, frying, steaming, braising, searing, and more. When's the last time you bought something that looked super cool *and* helped you order less Seamless?
Set includes an Always Pan 2.0 in original nonstick, a modular steam-release lid, a nesting beechwood spatula, and a steamer basket and colander.Promising review: "I love the quality of the pan and lid. The nonstick ceramic surface works beautifully. The pan heats evenly, and food cooks efficiently." —ChristinaPrice: $129 (available in five colors)
A marble cheese tray with a built-in slicer because this is the height of glamour! Well, it's the height of cheese-related glamour, at the very least. Plus, it solves the *very cheesy* problem of having your knife slip when you're trying to cut off a bit of cheddar on your cutting board.
Promising review: "Perfect size. Heavy-duty board. Looks expensive but the price is perfect! Heavy in weight, too." —Tiffy3Price: $20
A two-tier organizer so the area under your bathroom sink no longer has to be an untamed wilderness. These organizers won't just double your storage space — they have a tiny side pocket so you can keep your smaller items easily on hand, too.
Promising review: "Amazing. I really like the functionality and convenience of this under-the-sink organizer. The two-tier design allows me to maximize the limited space under my kitchen sink, and the side caddy and hooks make it easy to access my cleaning supplies and other essentials. The nonslip rubber legs keep it securely in place, and the drainage holes and raised base keep my items dry and organized. Assembling it was a breeze, and the high-quality plastic and durable metal rods provided additional stability. Overall, this under-sink organizer is a home organization must-have that I would recommend to anyone looking to make the most out of their storage space." —abePrice: $36.99 (originally $46.99; available in two colors and also in packs of two)
A 12-pound weighted knit blanket that will fit in with your rustic, boho or coastal decor better than your standard fleece-covered weighted blanket. Instead of being filled with glass beads, it's knit from weighted tubes... different technology, different look, same next-level coziness and relaxation.
Promising review: "I purchased on a whim and this blanket is wonderful. I am sleeping so much better. It is exactly 12 pounds and I find the knit material to provide some breathability while being sturdy but soft. I traded my bead-filled weighted blanket for this and feel it is definitely worth the price. It looks like a regular throw blanket and I purchased the blush color which is beautiful, making it visually appealing as well. I recommend!" —FLPrice: $140 (available in two colors)
A seven-tier shoe rack for anyone whose entryway is home to a Giant Shoe Pile. This rack has a charming minimalist aesthetic, but more importantly, it'll keep you from tripping over a stray Converse ever again.
Promising review: "I ordered more than one and they are great in small spaces, as described. They were easy to put together, and we're using one as additional storage in the bathroom, and also as a shoe rack in a bedroom. It is versatile and worth the price." —CarmPrice: $37.99+ (originally $139.99; available in two colors)
A wine-purifying tool that removes sulfites, aka the things that cause wine headaches. Might I suggest pairing this with a nice cab franc and the shocked and amazed expressions on all of your friends' faces?
Promising review: "I've owned this purifier for three years. It's awesome. Used to always get headaches from sulfites in red wine, but this took care of that. It doesn't change the taste of the wine, either. It's a little pricey, and you have to buy filters, but if you get bad headaches and love wine, it will be worth it. Their customer service is also top-notch. We accidentally threw away a small part of the device, contacted the company, and they shipped us a replacement part for free. Five stars all around! Cheers!" —Cat MilgarPrice: $79.99
An ultrasonic skin-scrubbing spatula because all those fancy schmancy serums and lotions you buy may actually just be sitting on top of your skin and not really getting absorbed. This handy dandy tool can help with that — and it can help deep clean with high-frequency vibrations that lift blackheads, whiteheads, and grime out of the skin.
Promising reviews: "This does a great job cleaning my skin. I have glass skin after using this product!" —VickiePrice: $29.99+ (available in two colors)
A battery-powered indoor/outdoor camera with low-light vision that works equally well for seeing who's at the door as it does for keeping an eye on Fluffy while you're out for the day. Plus, it has two-way audio — perfect for reminding your pups that they're good, chatting with visitors, or surprise-serenading your partner from across town.
Price: $99.99
A breakfast sandwich maker, because is there any decision as genius as the decision that allows you to have a piping-hot bacon, egg and cheese without putting on pants of any sort??
Promising review: "Bought this so my husband has another breakfast option when he wakes at 4:30 a.m. He likes how easy and fast it is, and the sandwich comes out perfectly. As others have mentioned, we haven't experienced problems with the egg seeping out yet. I'd buy it again." —RuherePrice: $37.99
A Bluetooth-enabled Polaroid printer that literally fits in any pocket or bag and can instantly turn any digital photo into a sticker or print. I'm not saying you weren't the life of the party before you bought this... but you definitely are now.
Price: $99.99
A Kitsch coconut oil deep conditioning bar so you can hydrate your locks without any plastic waste. Plus, isn't sudsing up a bar way more convenient that squirting gooey conditioner every which way?
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but so far, so good! After each use, my hair is full and super soft! I'll definitely purchase again." —MelthompPrice: $14 (available in three options)
An inflatable saucer chair, because beach/camping/park hangout season is here, and this year, no one is going to catch you messing around with those terrible little folding beach chairs (you know, the ones that always almost take your finger off with their hinges). It also works indoors, if you're traveling, in the middle of moving, or just want to sit in a big inflatable chair while you do your Hacks rewatch.
Price: $39.99 (originally $82.99)
A 5-quart Ninja air fryer that air fries, bakes, and crisps, so you can have a million dinner options that all take minimal effort from you (the best type of dinner options, imho).
Promising review: "It has a great basket to fit in quite a bit, but it's not overly huge on the counter. It is a bit loud, but it cooks so well! We are really enjoying it so far. Looking forward to using it even more!" —MrMikeGPrice: $129.99
An ultra-slim two slice toaster, because have you ever noticed that your toaster is weirdly enormous? Why does it need so much hardware just to toast two lil' slices of bread? This narrow model will take up way less counterspace (but will toast your bagels just as thoroughly).
Promising review: "I first loved the minimalistic design and that it's lightweight. I love the tray to clean bread crumbs. Functional buttons are easy to understand and the toaster does a perfect job." —PlacematPrice: $24.99 (available in five colors)
A knit midi tank dress for anyone with a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear. This adorable neutral dress? That has fun piping to make it unique, but also enough subtle style to go with pretty much any accessory? It is Something To Wear.
Pssst! Reviewers recommend sizing down.Promising review: "This is a fantastic dress! It's floor length and I can wear it with flats or heels. The material is soft and it washed very well. I'm planning to take it on an upcoming cruise. Beyond that, I know I will enjoy wearing it all spring and summer." —MPrice: $25 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and two colors)
A Ninja rechargeable portable mini-blender that fits right in your cupholder, so you never again have to grab a totally unsatisfying convenience-food snack — now, you can blend up a smoothie anytime, anyplace (well, not the library. Or the middle of the bathroom at your office. Anyplace where its appropriate to blend a smoothie, is what I mean).
Promising review: "Super easy to use, and convenient for on-the-go smoothies and meal-replacement shakes!" —MschivPrice: $69.99 (available in eight colors)
A Google 4K TV streamer with voice search, because it feels like typing out the name of the show you want to watch on a traditional remote takes about as long as it does to actually watch it. Plus, it has a much more streamlined and ~aesthetic~ look than most other streaming devices.
Promising review: "Just what I needed! It looks modern and stylish. Perfect size, great features, and quality. Buying a second one." —MePrice: $99.99

Alicia Vikander on Making Her London Stage Debut, Battling Mom Guilt, and Life With Michael Fassbender

The Queen's Wood Cafe in Highgate, London, is one of those formerly secret places in London that used to be known only by locals and is now a star on Instagram. Built for a wood-keeper in 1898, it is like a fairy-tale cottage, emerging unexpectedly from the trees around it, covered in fading bunting and twinkling lights. I've suggested it as a quiet place to meet, but Alicia Vikander already knows it. 'I used to come here with the kids,' she says with a smile, as she goes to the counter to buy us both a coffee. She may have been born in Sweden and since settled in Portugal, but a big part of her heart belongs to north London, where she lived for many years. She's here at the moment because she is about to make her first appearance onstage since she was a teenager, opposite Andrew Lincoln at the Bridge Theatre, in director Simon Stone's radical reimagining of The Lady From the Sea by Henrik Ibsen. For nearly 15 years Vikander, 36, has been a fixture on screens, bringing her delicate yet exacting talent and endless versatility to bear on films that range from historical biopic (Testament of Youth) to sci-fi (Ex Machina) to blockbuster action (Tomb Raider and Jason Bourne). She was 27 when she won an Oscar for The Danish Girl, and with it global renown. 'Alicia is the most formidable actor,' says Eddie Redmayne, her costar in that film. 'She has this dumbfounding and unique mix of physical, tangible technique. I don't know if that stems from her rigorous ballet and dance background mixed with complete abandon and freedom in the moment.' Wearing a black Toteme coat—'very Swedish'—against an early summer breeze, with her Louis Vuitton (she's a brand ambassador) handbag on the table between us, she flings herself into our conversation with enthusiasm and intelligence. She is excited and a little terrified about her latest role. The Lady From the Sea, one of Ibsen's most mysterious and allusive plays, centers on the figure of Ellida, a lighthouse keeper's daughter with a maritime obsession. In the original, she is married to a doctor and haunted by the death of her infant son, when a sailor from her past, a man who had asked her to wait for him, returns to claim her. (A caveat: since Stone has a reputation for completely rethinking classic plays, any resemblance to the original is likely to be tangential.)

Grammy-winning Latin music pioneer who lived in N.J. dies at 88

Eddie Palmieri, a trailblazing innovator of Latin music, has died at the age of 88. The legendary musician died Wednesday at his home in Hackensack, according to a statement posted on his Instagram account. 'Eddie Palmieri revolutionized the sound of Latin jazz and salsa across a career that spanned more than seven decades,' the post read. 'Known for his thunderous, percussive piano style and bold, genre-defying compositions, he was a fearless innovator who honored his Afro-Caribbean roots while pushing musical boundaries.' The Harlem native is credited for his influence on Latin salsa and jazz which gained immense popularity throughout the '60s and '70s. During that time, Palmieri released a slew of albums with his orchestra, La Perfecta, as they meshed Afro-Caribbean beats and jazz rhythms. Some of his most notable tunes includes 'Café,' 'Bilongo,' and 'La Malanga,' which feature Palmieri's unique, highly percussive piano-playing. His style of play often included using body parts like his forearms and elbows to hit keys on the piano. Palmieri won eight Grammy Awards over the course of his 60-plus year career. In 2009, Palmieri's hit song 'Azúcar Pa' Ti' was added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry. He was awarded a Jazz Master Fellowship, one of the highest honors in the genre, by the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2013. Iconic Latin jazz label Fania Records, on which Palmieri released several of his classics, posted a tribute to the music legend Wednesday. 'Today, Fania Records mourns the loss of the legendary Eddie Palmieri, one of the most innovative and unique artists in music history,' the post read. 'He will be greatly missed.' Palmieri is survived by five children and four grandchildren.
