We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Once you try this ridiculously cool hybrid knife and cutting board you're going to go full Top Chef for the rest of the year. 1. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." — Brent Helm Get it from Amazon for $7.70. 2. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles). 3. A set of hair-tie bracelets designed to look like *actual* jewelry, so you won't be kicking yourself when you realize you left a hair tie on your wrist for every photo. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the hair ties in action. Promising review:"I love these! These add the cutest touch to any outfit. They make you feel better about wearing a hair tie on your wrist. And they function great as both a hair tie and a bracelet! Not too tight to wear as either. Love them!" — Tiara Scheurell Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine styles). 4. A set of Victoria's Secret-inspired seamless "invisible" underwear so soft and stretchy your butt will want to *sing* when you slide them on. This is a true holy grail underwear that doesn't show, doesn't ride up, and somehow manages to look cute all at the same time. Check out a TikTok of the seamless underwear in action. Promising review: "These are my new favorite. They are comfortable and do not show under all my clothes. They are super soft too and hold up all day without gapping. I have been buying Victoria's Secret underwear for many years spending unnecessary money. I'll repurchase these over and over again." — Joshua Psst — if you're looking for a thong option, reviewers are obsessed with these Skims-inspired thongs that are also on Amazon! Get a set of six from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 12 sets). 5. Dae's Hair Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream & Taming Wand, which is basically the brand's "holy grail," TikTok-famous styling cream in the form of a mascara wand. This versatile lil' tool helps you carefully target flyaways, style edges, and smooth frizz. Amazon Dae is a small business that specializes in haircare and styling products. Check out a TikTok of the taming wand in action. (It goes without saying that you don't need to lay your edges if you don't want to, but this is a handy option if you do.) Promising review: "I've tried numerous products for taming baby hairs, especially post-partum, and this is hands down the best thing I've tried. It also smells incredible! Love the size of the styling wand!" — Completely happy customer! Get it from Amazon for $17. 6. An SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar, a K-beauty staple with a curved balm stick style that makes it super easy to apply, and a non-sticky, white cast-free formula that plays ABSURDLY well with makeup. If you're looking for a lightweight "soft matte" sunscreen to protect your skin, this is your new BFF. Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." — Martina Get it from Amazon for $18.79. 7. A super effective and strangely whimsical foaming drain cleaner for anyone who wants to make cleaning a whole aesthetic. This gentle but powerful foam pulls up gunk and cleans out drains in sinks, bathtubs, and floor drains, helping prevent plumbing issues and making everything smell ~squeaky clean~. Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.98. 8. Olay Super Serum Body Wash that will make anyone with dry or dull skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel as ~luminous~ as the spring sunshine. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.) Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Olay Super Serum Body Wash in action. Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in three styles for Normal, Extra Dry, and Rough & Bumpy skin). 9. E.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray so good at its job that reviewers compare it to the $38 Milk Makeup Hydro Grip 👀. If you're looking for all day coverage that still leaves a hydrated, glowy finish, then your face is going to looooove drinking up this hyaluronic acid-infused fine mist spray. Promising review: "I use this not just to set my makeup but also to dampen my makeup sponge. I think it has made a huge difference in how my makeup looks and how much smoother it applies. It is just as good, if not better (feels less sticky), than the similar more expensive Milk Makeup one." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10. 10. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs. Check out a TikTok of the Bella toaster in action. Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four styles). 11. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 12. A sophisticated leakproof laptop lunch tote with some real "I've got my life together" energy that will make you feel like a deli sandwich super spy when you unzip the ~secret~ insulated compartment at work.

Check out a TikTok of the laptop lunch tote in action. Promising review: "This is such a nice tote bag with plenty of room for my food in the cooler compartment and also for my Macbook Pro and several other folders and a planner! An excellent purchase, the material is nice quality and the price is awesome! I did not want to spend a lot of money, but I was pleasantly surprised with this bag! Now, instead of carrying a tote bag with my computer, planner, and other files AND a separate cooler bag for my meal s, I carry ONE bag into work every day! So wonderful." — vcraig Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in black and white). 13. A genius 2-in-1 knife and cutting board perfect for all your quick chopping needs that don't require a whole production of cutting boards. This scissor-like contraption lets you slice against a flat surface for easier use, then slide your veggies into a bowl or on top of a dish in a flash. Amazon Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use. Check out a TikTok of the scissors in action. Promising review:"This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." — Dawn R. Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 14. A slim organizer tray for your cutlery to save you so much drawer space that you'll feel like you just opened an extra pocket in the universe. No more jamming the messy drawer shut and praying it stays that way, y'all! Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it:"I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen — only one of which I can fully pull out — and buying this organizer for it has transformed it. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around." Promising review: "New way to organize your silverware that has a sleek design. TikTok made me buy this! It's a perfect design to not have as much clutter in your drawer. Great for ADHD people to see exactly what silverware is in which slot with the tiny pictures indicating a knife, a spoon, a fork!" — Haley Lutz Get it from Amazon for $7.49. 15. A Benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so easy to use that you can just dab it on your hairline and rub it in for an instant, oil-absorbing refresh. Now your "no wash" days are a secret that you and your roots will never tell 👀. Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action. Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product.

I am so very happy!" — Katie_0_Baker Get it from Amazon for $12.59 available brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles). 16. A rechargeable heated ice cream scoop to give your poor spoons and your biceps a BREAK!! You deserve the sweet bliss of ice cream without feeling like you just did a whole CrossFit workout to get it. Check out a TikTok of the heated ice cream scoop in action. Promising review: "This electric spoon is spectacular. It's easy to use and comes with a cord and everything else. It's very practical and made of good material. It doesn't need anything; it just knows when to heat it up so that it turns out a spectacular scoop of ice cream." — Lisney Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five colors). 17. An oh-so-sweet hummingbird lamp with three brightness levels and a touch sensor that reviewers love using as a reading light, a wind-down light, or a nursery light. Bonus: it also functions as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its head. Check out a TikTok of the bird night-light in action. Promising review:"This little bird is truly a gem. You tap on its head to get three different brightness of lighting. Works great as a night-light or to have on during the day as a decor for your table or end table. I love that it comes with a charger. No need to worry about having the right battery size. Will buy as gifts for friends and family!" — Linda S. Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). 18. A rectangular Lazy Susan to turn you into a legitimate fridge wizard by holding *way* more than the traditional round version.

No more accidentally dumping pickle jars on your unsuspecting feet!! Amazon Check out a TikTok of the rectangular Lazy Susan in action. Promising review: "Wow! I love this turntable organizer! I can fit so many items on it, and because of that, I now have so much more space on the door shelves. With this organizer, I will have easy access to all of those extra items that just don't have their own space. Now they do have a place to go! I would highly recommend this product to everyone who wants to feel more organized and doesn't want to lose items in their fridge." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 19. A "spray and go" enzyme-based laundry stain remover that works its magic in one wash to help you instantly get rid of all that discolored dried sweat, oil stains, or deodorant residue on your favorite clothes, so you don't have to do any heavy scrubbing yourself. Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods). Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in different sizes). 20. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 21. A portable car vacuum that lets you explore the great outdoors or enjoy a particularly messy snack without worrying about it all piling up until you have to get an expensive deep car clean. With this easy peasy gadget, you can scoop it all up and leave your interiors looking brand spanking new. Promising review:"This was the perfect solution for a busy mom like myself. I have three little ones, and every day there is a mess of some sort in the backseat. It saves time and money to not have to go to a carwash place and keep feeding the machine. It's simple to use and a great size. Wish the suction was a little better, but for the price and quality, I can't complain. It's a must!" — Amazon Customer "TikTok made me buy it. I NEVER leave reviews buttt I was surprised at how well and powerful this vacuum was! And it wasn't loud. 10 out of 10 recommended. Go buy it and try it for yourself." — Jessica D. Williams Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four styles). 22. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers swear by for perfect Lululemon Align Jogger alternatives, especially because the wickaway fabric feels cozy and ~expensive~ at the same time. If you are a fan of wide-cut flat waistbands, you need to invest in a pair of these, stat. Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 15 colors). 23. A "Nap Guardian" doorbell cover that parents, pet owners, and nap lovers swear by to prevent the doorbell from ringing at all hours of the day.

Nap Guardian is a small business that specializes in doorbell covers for home use. Check out a TikTok of the doorbell cover in action. Promising review:"This is well-made and very easy to apply. I have it on my Ring doorbell camera, and it keeps delivery people from ringing my doorbell very well. It also does not obstruct my view or notifications for my Ring doorbell camera. Great for when taking a nap!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 24. A pack of dual-sided SneakErasers designed so that one side of them cleans scuffs, dirt stains, and grime, and the other side whitens them, restoring your sneakers and their soles to their former glory. Take THAT, passage of time. Sneakerasers is a small business that specializes in shoe care products. Check out a TikTok of the SneakErasers in action. Promising review: "I have a couple of pairs of sneakers I stopped wearing because they started looking a bit grungy. Just couldn't justify throwing them away, though, because they were still in great shape and not very old. I came across these sponges and took a chance. They work like a charm. I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome." — Spencer Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $10.79. 25. A jar of all-in-one decor paint, a chalk-style paint with a built-in primer designed to easily glide on furniture, upholstery, and any wood, metal, and glass surfaces. It's eco-friendly and dries with a chalky matte finish within 30 minutes of application, making it a boon for parents doing DIY projects. Reviewers use it on everything from old couches to front doors to dressers to fences. Country Chic Paint is a family-owned small business that specializes in all-in-one paint. Promising review: " I've bought a total of four of these things. I went on a kick of painting all of my generic black/dark brown Ikea furniture. I used this on both the shiny/smooth furniture and wood furniture, and it worked well on both of them. It definitely worked better on the wood furniture, though. The paint was unexpectedly very easy to use and the color came out a LOT prettier than expected! It was easy to clean off my hands and brushes and the paint came right off my clothes in the wash as well. Overall, I'm very very pleased with this paint and will purchase more if I need any crafty paint in the future." — Anna " I saw this on TikTok and it looked so easy. I've hated my TV stand since I bought it. It was all black and just brought the room down. I used two coats and it is perfect! 10 outta 10 recommend!" — Gig94Em Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 55 colors). 26. A touchscreen mist cleaner, because your laptop, phone, tablet, and car screen all have one thing in common, which is that they are BEGGING you to (gently!!) clean them. They have put up with your grubby post-lunch fingers for FAR TOO LONG!!! The mister itself even doubles as a microfiber cloth to wipe it down streak-free. Promising review: "When you think you don't need it. But TikTok thinks you do. I definitely am glad that this product was what I need. Works on laptop, tablets, and phones! Love it! Highly recommend this product!" — Laura Schlutt Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 27. An app-controlled hybrid air purifier and nightstand with a HEPA filter for anyone playing Olympic levels of "making efficient use of space." This is an absolute game-changer for pet owners or allergy-prone humans, helping deodorize air and pick up pet dander (it even has a handy Pet Mode!). Reviewers love this for living areas and bedrooms alike. Check out a TikTok of the air purifier nightstand in action. Promising review:"This is a fantastic choice for offices or small bedrooms. I've been using it as a bedside air purifier, and it works perfectly without taking up much space. One of my favorite features is the smart ambient light. It automatically changes color based on the air quality, providing a clear and intuitive way to monitor indoor air conditions. Another brilliant feature is that the ambient light automatically turns off when the room lights are off, making it ideal for nighttime use. There's no annoying glare when sleeping, yet it continues to purify the air quietly and efficiently. Overall, this is a smart, compact, and highly effective air purifier, perfect for small rooms." — SHEN Z Get it from Amazon for $179.99 (clip the $40 off coupon on the product page for this price; also available as an air purifier without the tabletop). 28. A bone conduction Bluetooth pillow speaker that I'm not entirely unconvinced isn't witchcraft?? You can place it under your pillow so only *you* hear the sound projecting from it, so you can keep streaming content, listening to audiobooks, or even playing white noise and sleep sounds without disturbing anyone else in the room. Check out a TikTok of the the bone conduction pillow speaker in action. This even comes preloaded with 10 sleep sounds! Promising review: "When I pulled this out I wasn't sure it was big enough to provide quality sound, but surprisingly these are rock solid. My wife uses them to listen to music while I go to sleep with white noise. This way she's able to listen to her music plenty loud enough as it's in her pillowcase, where I can listen to my white noise. She gets her music, and we both get some some rest. It's as simple as that." — R. Burke Get it from Amazon for $30.99. 29. A set of silicone toothbrush and razor holders you can stick on the bathroom or shower wall to keep your little buddies germ free and easily accessible. Check out a TikTok of the silicone holders in action. Promising review: "We used to keep all of our toothbrushes in a mason jar. This way it saves more spaces and eliminates accidental use of someone else's toothbrush. (YUCK!) They hold the toothbrushes well, look decent, and are very functional." — Jacques S. Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.49 (available in five colors and color combos). 30. A set of safe-locking magnetic duvet clips to keep that sucker in the duvet cover where it BELONGS instead of sagging to the bottom of your bed like a sack of fluffy potatoes.

Pinion Pins is a small business specializing in home improvement products. Promising review:"I was super worried about if I would have enough of the Pinions, and I totally do! My duvet is kinda thick and the Pinions pierced through with no problems! Plus with a little extra room if I had some extra layers. I REALLY like how you have to have the magnet tool to pull them apart. Absolutely no moving! Don't walk, RUN TO BUY THIS. I also like how unnoticeable they are." — Abigayle Mishler Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in a 16-pack). 31. An electric travel kettle for all the tea, coffee, and oatmeal monsters out there who want instant, portable access to their lifeblood. People love this for at-home use when they're not traveling, too — it boils SUPER fast for quick cuppas, and has a small profile that makes it easy to put away. Promising review:"This gorgeous lil' portable kettle has been the best companion during all my travels this year! I drink a LOT of tea and am religious about making my special elixirs and healing potions every morning. I appreciate how quickly it heats up, and how long it keeps water hot. I have always followed the directions and use common sense when handling it, and have never had any issues with anything so far. Very satisfied with this purchase! Would highly recommend." — Sassy Mama "I bought this after seeing it on a TikTok 'influencer' Amazon storefront. This is a GREAT item to have for MY bedroom (hubby has his own) and at night I make a nice cup of hot tea, kick my feet up with my dog (of course), and I feel content." — Shannon Get it from Amazon for $29.91 (available in six colors). 32. A set of convenient suctioning "Food Cubby" dividers to portion out plates so food, sauces, and dressings don't co-mingle — perfect for picky eaters young *and* old who would rather pretend that we don't live in a world where broccoli and mac 'n' cheese are occasionally allowed to touch. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the food cubby in action. Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. Promising review:"I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." — Superbeckee Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). 33. 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.

Check out a TikTok of the water bottle in action. Promising review: "Love this product! I work out on the go, so I'm always in need of a water bottle, but I hate carrying a big one around all the time. This bottle is a nice size to use while running/walking (lightweight and easy to carry), it doesn't leak like most plastic bottles, and it's easy to roll/fold up and store in a bag after you're done. Overall, great design and functionality. 10/10." — LaMonica Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five colors). 35. A chic and deeply convenient portable snack tray with a flat, minimalist design that makes it ideal for traveling with charcuterie or crudités.

I can't wait to use them during the holidays for all the charcuterie and veggie platters. I highly recommend them!" — june Get a pack of two from Amazon for $24.95 (also available in a four-pack and rectangular sizes). 36.

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 $24.95. 38. A deeply innovative "Laundry Turtle" to make pulling things out of the dryer a breeze.

I instantly saw the value of being able to switch laundry from the washing machine to the dryer in one easy motion, so I ordered it. It makes switching laundry so easy! It's also a great replacement for laundry baskets. I recently stayed with an ill family member, knowing that I'd be doing laundry at her house. I hauled along my Laundry Turtle, which folded up into a small bundle, and used it at her house. No matter the size of the load, one revolution of the washing machine put all of the damp clothes in the Turtle and made transferring laundry so easy! I agree that it is one of Amazon's best household items." — Jeril Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Psst — If You're Also In Your Thirties, You'll Be A Sucker For These 47 Products, Too

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Once you hit a certain decade, the siren calls of these hidden noise-dampening earplugs and a FridgeTok-famous "DeliKeeper" are too loud to resist. 1. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder to absorb oil and blur pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy ✨. Amazon, 2. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." — Brent Helm Get it from Amazon for $7.70. 3. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey that you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes. Amazon I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart. Get it from Amazon for $21.25 (also available in Pink Honey!). 4. A set of delightfully ~~tingly~~ self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint perfect for anyone whose recent step count is "too many." Nothing like a lil' self-care on those aching feet to lift your spirits! Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $14.55. 5. 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 $11.99 (available in various other styles and sizes). 6. Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, which has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help even out skin tone and improve elasticity. Amazon, Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I was really glad to see it on Amazon because I saw it on TikTok. I didn't have to wait for it and pay less can't go wrong with that. It is very moisturizing easy to apply. Just a very thin layer. I went to bed, peeled it off the next morning, and my skin was super glowy. I love it." — Ramona L. Corona Get it from Amazon for $18.90. 7. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that they can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if they do it in order, they get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book). Check out a TikTok of Murdle in action. The best part?? Once you finish "Murdling," you can use your sleuthing skills on Volume 2, Volume 3, and a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books! Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" — Liz Gately Get it from Amazon for $10.25. 8. Olay Super Serum Body Wash that will make anyone with dry or dull cold weather skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel as ~luminous~ as the spring sunshine. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.) Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Olay Super Serum Body Wash in action. Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina Get it from Amazon for $12.97. 9. And Olay Super Cream with Sunscreen SPF 30, a luxury moisturizer (and another iteration of the iconic facial Super Serum!) engineered with niacinamide and collagen not just to protect your skin from the sun, but to help reduce dark spots and fine lines. This ultra-hydrating, lightweight cream also plays well with makeup and doesn't leave any kind of white cast. Amazon, Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "Super nourishing. I have extremely sensitive skin and this helps with protection from every day friction and irritation from elements like wind burns. Will be repurchasing." — Tricia D. Get it from Amazon for $34.94. 10. The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls. If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it " gold in a jar" and " witchcraft." Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn't look brand new like I was hoping, it's 10 times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99. 11. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 12. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 13. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It's basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!! Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I put it on every night and morning. I've been using a little over a month and you can already tell a difference. My dark circles are hereditary, so I truly thought nothing would work. However this stuff IS GREAT!" — Shay M. Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 14. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 15. Cosrx Advanced Snail Mucin Glass Glow Hydrogel Face Masks, the overnight face mask version of the internet's wildly beloved hydration serum, Snail Mucin Essence. This mask visibly absorbs within a few hours to become transparent over your skin, packing it with 25% snail secretion filtrate, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide for a deeeeep hydration that visibly plumps and brightens your complexion to give it that "glass skin" effect. Promising review: "I don't write a lot of reviews but I have been looking for something like this mask for a very long time! My skin is glowing! I left it on all night, and now it's mid day and my skin still looks and feels amazing, even with make up over it! I love this brand and all their products! I'm 46 and trying to fight aging and CORSX is the most cost effective and gives the best results! This mask was thick, stayed on all night and I'm a side sleeper, and I woke up to what felt like new skin! It's amazing! For the price it's definitely worth it!!!" — Babe03 Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15. 16. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a reviewer-beloved, TikTok-famous beauty prod that lives up to the hype — this is infused with biotin so it doesn't just strengthen hair, but helps encourage growth. Reviewers who use this consistently swear by it for thinning hairlines, sparse hair at their part, bald patches, and even their eyebrows! You can read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic — plus, according to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil comparable to Rogaine in helping with hair growth. Promising reviews: "I hardly write reviews, but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week, just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this, hats off!!" — Dee Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 17. And Boldify Hairline Powder for anyone who's like, "Hmmm. Wasn't there ... a lot more hair there before??" when they're styling their roots. This "makeup for hair" helps effortlessly fill in the gaps in your hairline so you don't have style around it. Reviewers also swear by this for touching up their roots between appointments! Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but I'm so glad that I purchased this. I finally cut my hair short after losing so much hair and thinning. I have a lot of spots where you can see the hair thinning, but this has covered it all. I bought the dark brown, and I put it at the roots. I've been so self-conscious for years using this product is helping me so much." — Wendy Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in 14 shades and two sizes). 18. Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in shave oil form, just in time for potential spring shaving shenanigans. Reviewers are notably impressed by how close of a shave they can get with this, particularly in sensitive areas, helping spare you from razor burn and ingrown hairs. Promising review: "I am absolutely loving this serum! I t creates the smoothest shave I've ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. The serum glides on easily, providing a close shave without any irritation or nicks. My razor moves effortlessly, and I'm impressed by how nourished my skin feels afterward. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It's a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!" — Shay Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three scents). 19. A set of Bala Bangle-inspired wrist and ankle weights to get your ~fitness~ on this spring — these serve all the same cuteness and function without the $55 price tag. Not to mention this has a TON more colors available to match your 'fits. These are ultra adjustable thanks to a strong velcro and the ability to add and remove some of the weights to tailor it to your workout! Promising review: "I love these! So great for yoga or mat Pilates. I like that they are 2 pounds each, which is the perfect weight, and you can even take off weight as well. I use them every week for my workouts. Very durable band as well!" — Robyn Get a pair from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors). 20. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder so effective that reviewers gleefully compare it to the $68 Dermalogica version. This gentle, foaming powder is formulated with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts, and should be used three to four times weekly to help gently break down dead skin cells for a brighter, more refreshed flow. Amazon Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. To use the powder, mix a teaspoon with a few drops of water until it foams, then massage in gentle circles on your face before rinsing. Promising review: "This is the best thing since sliced bread. I am on bottle number three. My face routine is forever changed. I pray they never raise their prices. This is akin to Dermoligica, but like half the price. Get it, don't hesitate." — Chris Get it from Amazon for $16. 21. A set of reviewer-beloved "Loops Quiet 2," aka the "ear plugs for people who hate ear plugs." These lightweight plugs are so subtle that people won't notice you wearing them, and are meticulously designed to muffle distracting, irritating, or overwhelming noise without completely blocking out the world around you. Reviewers love to wear them at the office or in noisy homes — this way they can still stay aware of your surroundings without getting overwhelmed by them. Amazon Promising review:"These earplugs are so good!! I had originally bought a completely different brand (because I was being cheap) and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. I found these Loop earplugs and decided to give them a try and I'm so glad that I did! They are so comfortable! Made from silicone so they are flexible and fit great. I've slept with them in all night without issues. The noise cancelling is fantastic! Now does it block everything? No, but I think that's a good thing for safety reasons. They do block my husband's chainsaw snoring and that is exactly what I needed them to do." — melanie98837 Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in seven colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!). 22. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ I bought these at the last second for a flight when I lost my way more expensive sleep mask, and can safely say "good riddance" to that old pair — I love this version way more. It's perfectly contoured so it doesn't rub my eyes or mess up my makeup if I'm traveling, the weight is satisfying without being distracting, and it adjusts super quickly and easily without every getting caught in my hair. Also the pink is just absolutely precious, so my little Glinda x Barbie heart is most pleased to show if off. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sets). 23. Supergoop! SPF 40 Unseen Sunscreen Stick poised to become the MVP of all your lil' purses and totes when you need protection on the go — this is designed with a seamlessly fast glide that *won't* mess with your makeup or leave any kind of white cast. A lot of parents mention in the reviews how easy it is to apply on kids' faces, too! Supergoop! Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review:"I love how easy it is to apply. This was so compact and easy to reapply on a girl's trip to EPCOT. In two and a half days in Orlando on very sunny days I had no sunburn on my very fair skin." — Nicole C. Get it from Supergoop! for $32 and Amazon for $32. 24. An airtight Deli ProKeeper that is actually the *updated* version of the wildly TikTok-viral original ProKeeper — not only does keep your deli meat and cheese *super* fresh and free up space and clutter in your fridge, but the updated version is fully transparent so you can easily see the contents, and has grooves at the bottom to keep moisture off your items. Amazon Promising review: "Best cold cuts storage ever! I've used this container for storing sliced cheeses and sliced deli meats and I absolutely love it! Keeps them fresher longer and looks nicer sitting in the refrigerator! Win win!!" — Mandolin Buglar Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four styles). 25. Tree Hut Vanilla Hand Wash infused with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to help hydrate and restore skin health so your hands can be super clean *and* super nourished.

I really can't believe it is so inexpensive. Enjoy." — Shar XO Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in five scents, including the brand new Lotus Water!). 26. Girl Moments, another beloved stress relief coloring book from Coco Wyo, a brand that's made itself famous on TikTok for its cozy, relaxing, easy-to-draw themes. This one is basically like "girl dinner, but make it art." Psst — Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront! Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon! Promising review:"I've always loved coloring, but it had been many years since I last did it. I bought this book to unwind and relax while painting, and it was a great choice! It offers a variety of scenes, making the experience even more engaging. It allows you to explore creativity and experiment with different color combinations from your marker set. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a calming and artistic escape!" — Ally Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 27. 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 $9.99. 28. An adjustable reusable shopping bag organizer that will clear up so much chaos that the cabinet under your sink will hand write you a thank you note. YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review: "I really loved the versatility of this product. I can choose how much room for each bag size needed and adjust when needed. Perfect for my art fair bags." — MrsDash Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 29. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so the next time you get a little ouch, you can be like, "wound care, but make it fashion." Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric band-aids because they're way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" — Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77. 31. First Aid Beauty's Facial Radiance Pads, a set of compostable (!!) beauty prep pads you can use before putting on makeup to gently tone and exfoliate your skin, making it the ultimate primer for getting the most out of your foundation. Bonus — unlike a lot of toning products, these are super gentle and sensitive skin-friendly! Amazon First Aid Beauty is a US-based small business that specializes in clean, fragrance-free, cruelty-free personal care products. Promising review: "I love this product! It definitely is worth the price. Helps clear my skin and smoothes my skin texture. No smell or fragrance. I used it daily after washing my face. This is part of my staple." — Susan Bean "As I'm aging my skin is changing and feels a little rougher. I saw these on TikTok and thought I'd give them a try and was not disappointed. I use this when I get out of the shower to really help scrub away and dead skin, and it does leave my face feeling smoother. It is a bit pricey but I feel like it did last me a while." — Emily Bianca Get a set of 28 from Amazon for $15.30. 32. A big ol' collapsible wash bin with a *drain plug* installed at the bottom that is like having a sink inside your skin — perfect for anyone who wants to keep dirty dishes separate from the sink bottom, and absolutely beloved by parents who have a bunch of bottles to sanitize at once. Promising review:"I bought this to wash baby bottles and pump supplies. Good build and does not feel cheap. I like that it is collapsible for storage and it has a drain on the bottom which makes it super convenient to drain after a soak. I can fit a lot in the tub for soaking." — Lacey D. Get it from Amazon for $16.50. 33. Lip Smacker Rolly Lip Gloss so cooling, so silky smooth, and so darn nostalgic that you'll want to try one in every fruity flavor — just don't come crying to me when you accidentally fall into a time machine and wake up in a Backstreet Boys video. Amazon, Promising review:"This stuff is not only nostalgic in flavor, style, and smell but this has truly healed my lips. My lips are always so dry and I get little pieces of skin, but this has made my lips completely normal again. This is also a fantastic mood booster for me. I can be having an overwhelming day at work and put this on and the fragrance and flavor just takes me back and boost my mood! " — Tina Laray Bessler Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in Strawberry, Peach, Grape, and Watermelon). 34. Londontown "Nail Veil" Protectant, which is designed not only to protect your nails, but to act as a sheer tint to enhance their natural look. It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails. Amazon, Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. Promising review: "This nail veil is so pretty and perfect for a simple, bare nail look! It applies very smoothly, and one to two coats work well. With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand's use of healthier, higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren't left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don't have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!" — Sofia K Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in nine shades). 35. A suctioned clear bird feeder because being an actual Disney princess seems exhausting (so many evil witches??), but at least you can commune with the little fluttering friends at your kitchen window every day. Lots of reviewers mentioned how much their kids and cats loved the bird visitors, too! Promising review: "I am very pleased so far with this bird feeder. Previous feeders were no more than a place for squirrels to snack. I love that the suction cups hold, even with rain and winds. It's like having your own nature channel for birds. I've seen so many different types of beautiful birds I'm going to get one for my neighbor." — deedee5249 Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in four styles). 36. A Benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so easy to use that you can just dab it on your hairline and rub it in for an instant, oil-absorbing refresh. Now your "no wash" days are a secret that you and your roots will never tell 👀. Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action. Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I've tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" — Katie_0_Baker Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles). 37. An "Exfoliate & Glow" premium scrub mitt for sloughing off all the dead skin from winter (one reviewer saw all the dead skin left in their shower floor and dubbed themselves a " Lizard Person" after shedding it). This is great for helping even out skin texture and tone, preventing ingrown hairs, calming keratosis pilaris, and removing self-tanner, too! Seraphic Skincare is a small business that specializes in brushes, razors, and other personal care products. Head's up that you should start very gently, and that you really only need to use it two to four times a month to get good results without over-exfoliating and compromising your skin barrier. Promising review:"Not to be gross, but when I lightly use this on my dry skin, I can see the dry skin cells flying off! Great for cellular turnover. I use it on dry skin before showering and finish after showering with good moisturizing oil. Makes my legs feel soft and smooth. Don't run too hard! Gentle strokes." — Juliet "Color me converted. It's so disgusting that you want to look away, but morbid curiosity keeps making you turn back. That's really a 'you' creature in the bottom of the tub. You really sloughed off a second skin like a Lizard Person and have now emerged a new person. One that will no longer trust brand-name products because they are a lie. Seriously. Buy this. You don't even know you need it, but you do. You really, really do." — Mandi Konesni Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a set of two). 38.

I'm very happy with this purchase." — Redbomb Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors). 39. A set of espresso martini instant cocktail tea bags — all the sophistication of tea, the zing! of coffee, and the 😜 of a cheeky cocktail.

Sayso is a small woman-owned business that specializes in the first-ever cocktail tea bag, perfect for cocktails *and* mocktails. Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical when I purchased, but these are actually fantastic. The taste is great and the bags make it incredibly easy to mix up what would otherwise be complex cocktails quickly and easily. I've had the spicy marg, espresso martini, and old fashioned versions, and while they aren't exactly the same as the original they are wonderful for making yourself a cocktail at home. Highly recommend." — Meredith Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six other cocktail styles and larger packs). 40. An oh-so-snuggly Kindle, iPad, and phone lap pillow holder so you can stream content or read the latest fairy, dragon, and/or "dead girl found in the woods" book in the *ultimate* comfort.

Oxo's compact Cold Brew Rapid Brewer to make cold brew in FIVE MINUTES (!!) instead of overnight, like competing pitchers.

Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water.

According to the instructions, you should take them at take off and then every two hours and then again once you arrive to help with relaxation and combat sleepiness. Promising review:"I heard about this product from my cousin who used it for a trip to Japan and it was very effective. I used it for a trip to Washington, DC, that had a number of stops and delays — total of 15 hours to get to my destination. I was comfortable upon arrival. The next morning I was ready for a work day." — ELEANORE Get a pack of 32 pills from Amazon for $16.99. 43. A magnetic air fryer cheat sheet to help minimize effort and maximize deliciousness so you'll be a whole lot less tempted by the siren call of expensive takeout food.

Mindset is a small business that specializes in calming personal care and decor products. Promising review:"I started meditating over a decade ago. Intermittent in the beginning, progressing deeper and finding new joys over time. With Breathing Buddha, the last thoughts have dropped away as counting breath always seemed to keep me conscious of, well, counting. Granted, I have always dropped the counting after a handful of breaths, but Breathing Buddha has made for a delightful transition as I realize it don't have to count at all. It is a lovely concept, well executed, and very easy to start using." — Lynn Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in three styles). 45. A pair of wide-leg high-waisted yoga pants for the *ultimate* in lightweight comfort — particularly since these are basically work pants in camouflage. Are they for yoga class or corporate nonsense?? That's nobody's business but yours and your booty's. 🥰 Amazon, Promising review: "Love, love, LOVE these pants! They are so comfortable and you can dress them up or down. I seriously want a pair in every color! True to size, material seems good quality, overall worth the cost!" — Sara Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and seven colors). 46. A sleek waterproof smart sensor bathroom wastebasket so you can feel like you have magic germ-prevention powers when you're doing the otherwise boring task of throwing away your snot-filled tissues and used makeup wipes. Psst — this takes two AA batteries! Promising review: "Great little trash can. Easy to assemble — the three wooden legs are simple to attach. It fits well in small spaces. Lid opens and closes by a wave of the hand to the sensor located in front. Holds a grocery size bag. Very sturdy, and although it's lightweight, it does not look cheap. Great value for the money." — Anita Gordon Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in white and black and in multipacks). 47.

The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" — slb m Get it from Amazon for $6.80. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

47 Random Products That Will Make You Think 'Ooh, I Should Have That'

1. A copy of Burn After Writing, a journal filled with thought starters and questions that'll really get you inspired — reviewers say it's thought-provoking, had them laughing and crying, and even helped relieve stress! If you're just over boring journals or want something a little ~different~ this is a great option you'll actually be excited to use every day. Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently. You're so much more than what's been done to you, and someone's inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." — Brent Helm Get it from Amazon for $7.70. 2. A compact watercolor palette with a whopping 100 colors to choose from — including pastel, neon, and even *metallic* shades — so you can experiment with a new artistic skill. It even comes with a blank swatch card so you can see what each and every shade looks like IRL before you start painting! Check out a swatch video of the palette on TikTok here, and if you're looking for watercolor tutorials using this very palette, you can check one to help you paint a sunset here. Promising review: "I'm starting to hate Tiktok because it's making me buy all these products, but I absolutely love this one!!! I travel for a living and love to paint, and this set is wonderful. I love that it comes in a metal tin, so I don't have to worry about it breaking, like most plastic ones. The colors are vibrant and I love that there are so many within the container. The container itself is the size of two makeup eye palettes, so you can definitely fit it in a purse or backpack. It comes with a swatch section, too, so you can paint the colors and compare them later on when you paint. I'm a huge fan now of this brand." — pixxi88 Get the set, which comes with the 100 shades in a compact case, a sketch pencil, a sponge, a swatch sheet, and three water brush pens, from Amazon for $29.99. 3. Aveeno's oatmeal bath treatment that's a classic for a reason. Whether you have dry, itchy winter skin, are dealing with eczema, or just want some extra TLC, this'll make your next bathtime a real treat. And you might want to stock up, because it can also help reduce irritation from sunburn, bug bites, or poison ivy! Promising review: "This stuff is so amazing! I bought it on an impulse buy, then was too nervous to use it because I worried it would be chunky or mess up my fears be gone! It's a delicate, super fine powder. Probably finer than cake flour. I would say 80% dissolved quite quickly, but the rest decided to clump up in little balls. Those ended up being weirdly satisfying to smoosh between my fingers. They all ended up dissolving between my own smooshfest and just general lounging. I have to admit...I'm not even out of the tub as I write this, so I can't tell you how moisturizing it is (yet), but I just had to share how amazing it is to feel like you're your own breakfast. I subtly smell like a warm bowl of oatmeal — but only in the best of ways. Update post-bath: Well, it was uber moisturizing, and I had an overall feeling of glowing once I got dressed. I'm so subscribing to this stuff!!" — Kathy C. Get eight packets from Amazon for $6.79. 4. A pair of 18K gold-plated oyster shell earrings for anyone who can put away at least a dozen of their favorite bivalve at happy hour. I'll rank your most treasured things right now: 1. dollar oysters 2. these earrings 3. the perfect mignonette sauce. Liv Bella Vita / Etsy They're also vacuum-sealed with clear titanium to prevent tarnishing and make them resistant to perfumes and chlorine *and* waterproof! Promising review: "These are perfect! Just as pictured and so adorable. They're a really nice size and look great — I have a favorite restaurant I love to go to for oysters, and I can't wait to wear them there! Get them, you won't regret it!!" —Leila V Get them from Liv Bella Vita on Etsy for $36 (originally $48). Liv Bella Vita is a Charleston-based small biz making waterproof and tarnish-proof jewelry. 5. A portable Chill-O-Matic instant beverage cooler perfect for anyone who simply cannot stand a lukewarm bevvie. Just pop in some ice and your 12-ounce can, and the cooler will spin the can, taking your seltzer, soda, or brewski to perfectly *crispy* in just! one! minute! Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Chill-O-Matic in action. Promising review: "I was so afraid of wasting money. But I didn't. I love my sodas cold. But sometimes there's not a cold one available, and waiting 30-40 min for one to get cold in the freezer is not always ideal. This will get your room temp can to fridge-cold in 90 seconds. I let it run double that to get almost freezer-cold. I wish it had a power cord. But I do appreciate the portability that the batteries provide. I can't wait to try it out on vacation, as access to cold sodas isn't always available. All you need is literally a little bit of ice." — G. Massey Get it from Amazon for $24.99. Chill-O-Matic is a small business that specializes in beverage accessories. 6. A set of buttery button-down PJs with piping detailing that'll make you feel like you're lounging and/or sleeping in the lap of luxury — one reviewer calls them "the softest I've ever bought" and several draw comparisons with Eberjey jammies (which are around $150 👀) aaand Skims and Cozy Earth. Promising review: "Better than Eberjey! Impressed with the quality and softness of these pajamas. Ordered a size up bc I was worried about shrinkage, but they didn't shrink! I prefer these over Eberjys — the buttons don't come undone and just as soft — maybe softer!" — CDS Promising review: " If you desire comfort, if you desire soft fabric against your skin, if you desire pajamas that fit perfectly, if you want to feel like you have your life together, then these are the pajamas for you. I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant and live in these now. I bought a size medium (pre-pregnancy size small) and have no intention of taking these off unless to wash them. And then I'll put on my other color option that I bought of these pajamas because these are so freaking great. The fabric is soft and not too sheer of a material that fits loosely as it should. The waistband does not feel constricting, and the lace drawstring on the pants does not make the bottoms feel tight. The pajamas are of great quality and are worth the investment. I plan on wearing these in the hospital and then probably for the rest of my entire life because they're so fantastic." — CMC Get them from Amazon for $42.29 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 43 colors and patterns). Also available in a short sleeve and pants set and a short sleeve and shorts set. 7. A "Scary Poppings" silicone popcorn popper that doubles as a serving bowl — the ghoulishly cute skull design is perfect for your horror movie binge-a-thons. And it collapses down when not in use for easy storage, so it's a win-win. Ototo Promising review: "This has got to be one of my favorite purchases of the entire year. It's absolutely perfect in every single way. Perfect size, Perfect cook every single time, Perfect little Skully face. Incredibly simple to use and clean. I can't rave about this thing enough. Absolutely Fantastic!" — Heather Davis Get it from Amazon for $17.99. If you're not familiar with Ototo, they make some of the most delightful kitchen and everyday gadgets around, like platypus jar scrapers, vampire galic mincers, and mushroom funnels. 8. A set of exfoliating gloves so you can scrub off dead skin cells and reveal softer, smoother skin during your Everything Showers. Just lather up and (gently!) massage your skin — reviewers say this is great for preventing ingrown hairs, helping reduce KP, and using before applying fake tan! These babies come in three types — light, moderate, and heavy — so you can choose based on your skin type and how often you use them. Promising review: "This is one of my favorite purchases. Not gonna lie; TikTok made me buy this. So I buy it and I'm still a little nervous because it's literally a glove. But nah, I used it with liquid body soap, and I've never felt so clean in my whole life. I got out of the shower feeling like a freshly birthed baby. My skin had never felt so clean, and I questioned how I went 32 years without this." — Brittney Get a pair from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three textures, five colors, and in sets of two or three). 9. A trinket box that honestly brought a tear to my eye — it's a vanity dresser! But it's 🥹 so small 🥹!! In a perfect world, I'd own this *and* the real piece of furniture painted exactly to match it, so I could display both together. Reviewers agree it holds a lot for how tiny it is! Promising review: "I am an avid collector of what I like to call Objects, which are just trinkets and things I adore, which have no real use and are a little bit odd. This is easily one of the best Objects i have ever laid eyes on and i am so happy to call her mine. It is exactly like the picture and very spacious inside. So very adorable, and I will cherish her forevermore." —laurbot13 Get it from Urban Outfitters for $20 (available in two colors). 10. A flexible power strip to maximize your outlet capabilities (it has three outlets and two USB ports!) while flexing with the space behind your couch or under your desk. Your WFH area just got an upgrade. Promising review: "I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go in any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" — Pond P. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors). iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 11. A desktop inflatable tube guy that can teach everyone a dance move or two. Why *couldn't* use the laugh that this thing provides?! Plus it makes a great gift for ::checks list:: just about anyone. Promising review:"OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" — Mark Get it from Amazon for $8.58. 12. A pack of Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep masks you can wear overnight for a serious boost of hydration, firming, and brightening — even reducing the appearance of pores and fine lines. Reviewers say they noticed a difference in just one use *and* that people stopped to compliment their skin! Btw, once you wake up and see where the mask has become transparent, you'll know the serum is absorbed — how cool is that? Promising review:"Magic in a box. This is a thicker, jelly-like mask (not those paper-thin ones that are soaked in serum). It comes in two separate pieces, upper and lower half, which makes it more customizable in terms of fitting your face. I was a little skeptical at first like how could this really be that different than other sheet masks? But the first time I used it, the next day I noticed the deep wrinkle in my forehead was so much smoother! About a week after using it the first time, I also had someone tell me I looked refreshed and well-rested. I immediately bought more 😂 There doesn't seem to be a smell/scent to it, and it comes in a pack of 4" — michelsl Promising review: "I use this mask once a week and definitely have noticed that my skin retains moisture better than it used to. No smell, is easy to apply, and fit to the face. I bought this after I saw a dermatologist review it on TikTo,k and I haven't been disappointed. Great quality, worth it as a nice treat for my skin." — Rhea McC Get four from Amazon for $19. 13. A Lego "Tiny Plants" set — another marvelous iteration from their much beloved Botanical Collection. Whether you're a Lego enthusiast who collects these kits or a plant parent looking to expand your assortment in new ways, you (or a loved one) will *love* putting together these unique mini-potted plants, which include cacti, carnivorous plants, and tropical beauts. Amazon Lego Botanicals kits are also available in succulents, an orchid, a wildflower bouquet, a rose bouquet, and more. Get it from Amazon for $39.99. 14. Essence's Lash Princess mascara, which over *260,000* 5-star reviewers for dramatic length and volume *without* clumps, thanks to the flake- and gob-free formula and cone-shaped brush. Tons of reviewers say it's a better version of cult faves like Too Faced's Better Than Sex Mascara or even Diorshow! And at around $5 a pop, you don't have to feel bad about tossing one every three months (because we really should!). Here's BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord: "Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the livelong day no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time." Promising review: "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5, you couldn't ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." — Kd Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 15. A set of colorful fine-point pens to take your to-do list, planner, study guides, or journal to the next level. If you've dreamed of color-coding your life, these will make that a (fun!) reality. And best of all, they're designed to not bleed through thin pages! Promising review:"I love how this pen feels to hold and it writes beautifully! I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use and I don't remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!" — Marcia Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $6.39. 16. A pair of Colorfulkoala leggings in their ~Dreamlux~ fabric, which is designed to be buttery soft, sweat-wicking, and completely squat-proof, so your skin or undies never peeks through the fabric. Reviewers back all of that up, tout them as a great alternative to Lululemon Align leggings, *and* say that they're super comfy (even enough to lounge in), with a waistband that never rolls down, like with some other brands. Bonus: reviewers say they *don't* tend to attract dog or cat hair from shedding pets as much as other is borderline miraculous. Promising review:"I can't say enough great things about these leggings! They don't roll down they feel amazing on. I have all kinds of brands: Lululemon, Vuori, Athleta, etc., and these are my favorites and the ones I feel the best and most confident in!! And the price, you can't beat it. it's a win-win. I will be back to purchase even more colors!" — Lauren Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseam lengths, and 22 colors) 17. A pack of Crayola Globbles that'll relieve hours of boredom — kids love to toss these at the walls and ceiling to watch the colorful spheres stick and unstick. But fret not: reviewers say they actually don't leave residue behind! Check out a TikTok of the Globbles in action. Promising review:"Bought a six-pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could. The inside looks something like shaving cream and didn't smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." — Amazon Customer Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.20. 18. A lightweight Cosrx SPF 50+ sunscreen (yes, from the same K-beauty brand as the TikTok-viral snail mucin) for anyone who isn't always the best at applying sunscreen (every! day!). This sebum-balancing formula has a moisturizer-like texture, contains skincare ingredients like cacao and vitamin E, feels breathable on the skin, leaves a semi-matte finish, and (reviewers agree!) it doesn't have a white cast, so applying it will feel like less of a chore. It's also reef-safe. Promising review: "THE. BEST. SUNSCREEN. Great for sensitive skin & eyes. No white cast! I hate sunscreen. I have spent far too much money on various formulas, from the bottom-of-the-barrel drug store, all the way up to $100 a tube of fancy crap. Either they leave me looking like a ghost or a big oily glob or they make my skin and or eyes burn terribly. Or they make me break out. Usually it's all of the above. Finally I gave this stuff a try, and it is a godsend. It goes on like your favorite moisturizer leaving absolutely no white cast at all. Your skin ends up looking dewy not greasy, and it stays put. It even plays well with make up. No pilling. Finally, a sunscreen that I am happy to wear every single day, without fail." — WylieRyder Promising review: "LOVE this product, I wear it every day even if I am not exposed to the sun. It is lightweight, with no smell and no grease. It has dramatically changed the appearance of my face. Highly recommend" — MJ Get it from Amazon for $15.98. 19. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light that'll add a dose of whimsy to your space, whether you don't like to sleep in a pitch-black room or you need to light up the bathroom or hallway for late-night trips without turning the overhead lights on. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the mushroom nightlight in action. Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." — 1Thand Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 20. An electric candle lighter to make setting your favorite scented candle aflame even *more* satisfying — and save money on those disposable gas lighters — AND never burn your fingers on a match again). Now you can save those aesthetic restaurant or wedding favor matchbooks in your collection for home decor. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga has to say about it:"I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super- fun gadget for Christmas. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! If you're someone who gets a thrill from RAW POWER this is sort of the product for you. No, it's not a super-intense gadget, relax pyromaniacs, but it does buzz and produce a burst of electricity that I personally find exciting. AND I'll never have to buy another lighter again! Stop burning your fingers on matches and pick up one of these bad boys." Promising review: " I've had several different brands and models of USB lighters, but this is my favorite so far. So many of them either have a wildly short battery life or seem like they have some kind of gimmick at the expense of ease of use. This one, thankfully, just simply works. My only quibble is that I wish it had a bendable extension at the end to make it easier to light more awkwardly located candles, but given the bad luck I've had with so many of these I'll deal with that." — MediaNerd33 Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 21. A manual "flossing" toothbrush with extra soft bristles in two layers that are super thin at the tip (as thin as a human hair) and designed to reach places other toothbrushes might not. Especially when paired with actual flossing, reviewers say they're left with a "fresh from the dentist" clean! Here's BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord: "I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, 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 I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! 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 nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — Amy N. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99. 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. 22. A TikTok-famous and extra satisfying 1,000-piece Mystic Maze puzzle that's very popular among puzzle-heads and people who love magic. Because it's not just a puzzle! It has over 50 easter eggs, small details, and optical illusions — and a twist (designed by magicians!) that's only revealed when the puzzle is complete! Amazon Promising review:"I bought this as a gift for my husband because he absolutely loves puzzles and magic, so it was a no-brainer! I was honestly way more excited to finish putting this puzzle together than a normal puzzle because I couldn't wait to see the end result. Blown away. I'm super impressed and will be purchasing a different version. Oh, and they weren't kidding about the no dust in the pleased with this purchase!" — Nlbrimberry Get it from Amazon for $24.12. Btw, they've released *four series* of puzzles — you can shop them all on Amazon. 23. Or Murdle, Volume 1, a compilation of murder mystery–themed logic puzzles from the creator of Murdle, a Wordle-esque daily puzzle site. Both the site's puzzles and the book's puzzles challenge you to use your powers of deduction and the given clues to solve each mystery and find the perpetrator. There are four levels of difficulty to keep you challenged, too. Good luck, detective! See how it works on TikTok. There are 100 puzzles total, and four different levels: For Elementary puzzles, you need to find the suspect, location, and weapon. For Occult Medium puzzles, the added challenge is that the murderer always lies, and the other suspects tell the truth! For Hard Boiled puzzles, you also need to find motive! And for Impossible puzzles, you have to discover all four elements and deal with the lying witness statement from the murderer. Sounds like fun! Plus, you're also given a logic grid for each puzzle to help you solve it! Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, storylines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes, but this one will keep me busy for a while!" — Liz Gately Promising review: " MURDLE is quite possibly the coolest and most fun I have had with logic puzzles in a while. It activates my inner J.B. Fletcher as my mind compiles the clues and sleuths out the answers. The various levels of intrigue allow the amateur sleuth in us all to develop into a top-notch armchair detective. I cannot think of a better way to spend a rainy, sunny, and/or any day than with a little crime-solving." — Highly Caffeinated Book Reviewer Get it from Amazon for $10.25. And if (when) you end up needing more puzzles, don't worry — there are three volumes already, plus bonus books. There's also Murdle Jr. for kids, which came out last fall! 24. A disco ball diffuser that'll up the party vibes (and aromatherapy) in any home — even if you're just enjoying a glass of white wine with dinner on a Wednesday night. Just add the essential oil of your choice! And btw, it also can work as a mood light, with seven different colored light options. According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Promising review: "The coolest diffuser ever! This diffuser definitely stands out on the market above the rest in terms of quality and performance. What an awesome atmosphere it brings to any room with its extraordinary design. I love that it works silently without any noise whatsoever, releasing the mist of essential oils that promote such relaxation. Also, its customizable settings allow me to choose between various LED light options, creating a personalized ambiance. You can switch it on rotating so it creates a disco effect on the ceiling as well. Will be ordering this product for my friends; it makes a perfect gift!" — Charity Rivers Get it from Amazon for $39.97. 25. A super plush blanket just begging to be cuddled up with on a cozy day at home — "I bought a new blanket" is a valid reason to cancel plans, right? But seriously, reviewers love this one for looking stylish on their couch and being super soft but not too heavy for year-round use! It's often compared favorably to Barefoot Dreams (maybe not quite as plush or stretchy), but a real bargain for the price! Amazon Promising review: "We absolutely love this blanket. It is so soft and has now held up to about 4–5 trips through the washer/dryer. My 18-month-old is OBSESSED with this thing and steals it from me on a daily basis, so both of my kids are getting their own for Christmas. The ONLY flaw of this blanket is that it comes shrink-wrapped and compressed and, therefore, really needs to be washed and dried before use to be presentable. It comes tied with a bow, but you could really never gift it as it comes because it doesn't come to life until after the first wash. I find it to be very comparable to barefoot dreams and will never buy another one of their blankets now that I've found this. 10/10 recommend." — Stephanie Mewherter Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 16 styles and two sizes). 27. A slow feeder bowl that's a level up from the other maze-like bowls you've seen, thanks to the separate bone-shaped top compartment your pup will have to spin around to get to the tasty food beneath, puzzle-style. You can also remove the top compartment if you want to use it as a traditional slow feeder bowl too! Check it out on TikTok here. Promising review: "We have a medium-sized puppy that's rapidly growing and eats like a monster on Halloween! Nothing wrong with that, except he eats so fast that he often gets ill afterward. This product worked much better than expected. It took our dog so long to eat (and yet stayed engaged) he laid down. He went from 1-2 minutes to almost 20+ minutes. He hasn't had any further incidents and seems to actually enjoy the challenge! Product is well made and easy to clean and take care of (read the instructions first!). Not sure how long this specific bowl will last (probably for a very long time), but if I have to replace it, it will be this product." — sooner961 Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in six colors). 28. A mushroom growing kit if you're looking for a new hobby that really pays off quickly. The mushrooms put the fun in fungi and grow right in the packaging — just place near a window with indirect light, mist twice daily, and within *10 days* you'll be able to harvest and use them in your next culinary masterpiece. Amazon, This growing kit comes with some recipes to get you started! Promising review:"This product has been so much fun to watch! I followed the directions exactly as written, and the mushrooms began growing within 3–4 days. I will say that I did soak them for close to 10 hours before putting them back in the box to grow and I believe this helped a ton. I also kept the box inside by a window with the blinds closed in order for them to get indirect sunlight. The mushrooms grew tremendously for almost a week before they started to shrink, so I clipped them to cook with, and they were DELICIOUS! This was such a fun product and process to watch. I am now in the process of trying to get a second batch of shrooms from the same box. Fingers crossed!" — Steph A Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (available in three varieties). Back To The Roots is a California-based small business founded by two college friends that specializes in indoor gardening kits with a mission to reconnect families to food. 29. A spa foot tub you deserve for your next Big Night In. Just pop your feet in with some water, and the massaging jets and raised nodes will give your tootsies the TLC they crave. Did I mention the controls are designed to be used by your toes, so you don't even need to bend over to adjust them? That way, you don't have to disturb the cucumber slices on your eyes. It also comes with a pumice stone for an exfoliating sesh. Promising review:"It's perfect! My feet & my husband's feet thank me for this purchase. Hot water, some soaking salts and this machine have us relaxing at home while watching TV — and they turn out super soft after a little feet lotion. Super easy to clean and reuse; you will not regret this purchase." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $29.74. 30. A mini donut maker that can make bite-size treats in minutes using brownie mix, cake mix, muffin mix, or your own recipe. Eat them warm, dunk in cinnamon sugar, frost or glaze them, or top them with sprinkles — the possibilities are endless and delicious. The donuts cook within minutes, have an auto shutoff to stop them from overheating, and come with a recipe book that even includes gluten-free and Paleo-friendly options. Promising review: "I cannot say enough about the Dash Mini Donut Maker. It is so much fun to use and make donuts at home. Rather than going to the local chain donut restaurant, you can make your own specialty donuts at home. It is very easy to use and cleans up quickly. My children love to decorate the donuts after they are cooked. It's a fun family activity and the donuts taste great! Also, it comes with a neat design and stands out among my other boring looking kitchen cooking appliances. If you like donuts, this product is for you." — JoshH Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 31. A longline sports bra with a cute v-neckline and scoop back and a design so comfy yet supportive that you'll love it for workouts and for lounging or layering with sweaters, blouses, and jackets. You're going to want to stock up on several colors so you don't have to wait for laundry day to wear it again! And btw, some reviewers say it's a great alternative to the Lululemon Align tank. Promising review:"I saw these tanks all over TikTok for being the Lulu Align [alternative]. I decided to purchase one and absolutely love it. The fit and style is exactly the same. I will say the material is not as soft and is more like a bathing suit material but overall, it's a great purchase!" — M Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 32. BYO Blush Oil, a glowy and natural-looking blush you can wear with or without other makeup products for a gorgeous flush of color. And like other Youthforia products, it's designed with hydrating skincare ingredients (like rosehip oil!) you can even sleep in! Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Check out a TikTok of the BYO Blush in action. Here's BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord: "I tried this out myself, and I have to say, it is WILD watching it adjust in real-time. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread — a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long-lasting, too — I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day." Promising review:"Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it, too, because I wanted to see the color change again, and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth, and it was easy to rub in and blend out." — Summer Get it from Youthforia for $36 or Amazon for $35.99. Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in environmentally friendly, cruelty-free makeup made with at least 90% renewable ingredients. 33. Laneige's fan-favorite lip sleeping mask with coconut oil and shea and murumuru seed butters to give your lips a dose of hydration and softness. And yes, it's a sleeping mask, but the gorgeous gloss finish will make you want to slather it on in the daytime, too. Amazon Promising review: "I'm obsessed with buying products I see on TikTok, I was a little hesitant about this one due to the price. My lips get easy chapped, but never crack. I put it on, within seconds they felt like my usual lip balm does after apply it all day! I'm in love!" — Emma White Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in four flavors). Or Laneige's newer Lip Treatment Balm formulated with peptides, coconut oil, and adenosine to moisturize and nourish lips — plus a tingly minty feeling for plumpness aaaand a pearlescent finish. And it's got a handy applicator built in (and it stores neatly right in the lid) Amazon Reviewers who love the original Lip Sleeping mask love using this for daytime and some reviewers who aren't so much fans of the original mask do love this one instead! Promising review: "This has been the best investment for lips I have ever made! My lips are noticeably soft, supple and smooth after 8 days of consecutive use. I noticed the tingling after my first use, and loved it. I was worried about the little wand used to apply it, being a hard and stiff plastic but it is actually soft and flexible. Cute packaging as well!" — E Get it from Amazon for $25. 34. A set of Sea Bands, which are designed to work on a pressure point on your wrists to help reduce nausea. So whether you get motion sick easily, are dealing with morning sickness, or nausea brought on by other pains, these just might help; thousands of reviewers say they do! Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Promising review: "I was skeptical at first; however, these helped me a bunch. Typically get seasick, but I love to cruise. I put these babies on the first day and was good for the entire trip (it was a 10-day cruise). I removed them before bed and bathing. They are on the snug side, so if you have larger wrist, this may be uncomfortable for you." — Naturally Nicki Promising review: "I just recently went through chemo and radiation. I tried almost everything under the sun for nausea. This was recommended to me by a former cancer patient who experienced the same situation as myself. I can say, hands down, this was such an amazing product for nausea. I was finally able to sleep and eat with little nausea. Thanks a million." — it's good Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.51 (available in adult and children's sizes). 35. A très chic storage ottoman that packs a punch of style AND substance — you can sneakily hide your stash of scented candles, little trinkets, those extra books on your TBR list, or even snacks and pretend you are, in fact, a minimalist. As if. Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Here's BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord: "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)." Promising review:"I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren't pretty. It wasn't bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It's pretty, it's lightweight, so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." — Monica N. Get it from Amazon for $34.99 + (available in six colors). 36.

Signature cocktail, anyone? Amazon Check out a TikTok of the cocktail book in action. Promising review:"This book has easily become one of my favorites. Great base knowledge and would recommend to anyone seeking to further educate themselves on spirits and cocktails. Even the first few pages are full of useful information. Purchase this for yourself or even as a gift. I cannot say enough good things about this book." — Adriana Get it from Amazon for $19.12. 37. A "Lifty Loo" toilet seat handle so you can make lifting and lowering the seat for stand-up pee-ers *and* cleaning the toilet bowl a icky. These have adhesive built right in for easy installation, too! Amazon Promising review: "Works perfect for what I need it for. I just figured out where it would work best on my toilet, then I adhered it. It doesn't get in the way, and my younger boys are able to pick the seat up without touching the seat." — SK Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.97 (available in white and in a blue tile pattern). Btw, Lifty Loo is a small business that specializes in toilet lifting tabs that are made with recycled ocean plastic. 38. A genius cleaning ball you can just toss into your bag, give your bag a shake, and watch the sticky inside collect crumbs, dust, and anything else living in there. Ew! And you can reuse it — just give it a quick rinse first! Amazon Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether 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 two colors). 39. The NeeDoh Nice Cube, a super-viral sensory fidget toy with juuuust the right amount of resistance for a super-satisfying squish every single time. And no matter how much you get your stress out, it always goes back to its original shape! Check out a TikTok of the Needoh in action (where users are suggesting to try ~freezing~ it for even a completely different texture). Promising review: "I bought four of these; one for myself and three for my kids. My oldest already had one and everyone else was fighting for it. They're stiff at first, but the more you use them, they get softer with the warmth of your hands. I've actually used it as a calming mechanism when arguing with my husband and it worked. It's easy to clean with a little soap and water, and then it feels brand new again. It's very durable, too. My 10-year-old will be watching a movie and smashing it up, and it's still in good condition. Definitely worth it." — Dixie Get it from Amazon for $8.70 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random!). 40. A sleek mini travel umbrella that not only is perfectly compact for everyday use *and* travel but also comes with a handy carrying case, so you can pop it right in your bag when the showers are (finally!) over without getting the rest of your stuff wet. Promising review:"Bought this cheap, lightweight umbrella for an autumn trip to Edinburgh. It worked perfectly!! It was really windy there, and it did pop inside out a few times, but I just pushed it back into place. The pod holder is really great for folding it up when wet and keeping your bag safe from it!" — Lynn Thompson Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 11 colors, plus two-packs). 41. A pickle keeper and juice strainer if you're a pickle enthusiast who is tired of dirtying a fork (or putting your fingers in the every time you're looking for that tasty, briny crunch. This smart container flips over and has a built-in strainer so you can drain the juices out when reaching for your favorite sandwich accessory. 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 I 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 $13.90 (also available with an included tong). 42. A stunning floral coaster that'll pull double duty in your home: looking simply GORGEOUS out on your nightstand, end table, or coffee table and (of course) protecting your furniture from drink rings. No fresh flowers required! Poppy & Pour/Etsy Poppy & Pour is a California-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in custom flower coasters, keychains, and more. Promising review:"I got the surprise option with and without the gold rim, and I'm so happy that I got an even balance of white and multicolored coasters. These are so beautiful and can't wait to use them!" — Jenny H. Get it from Poppy & Pour on Etsy for $14+ (available with or without gold trim and multipacks). 43. An LED fog-less mirror you can keep in your shower to speed up your shaving routine (no wiping the mirror, no sink cleanup). And bonus: You can admire yourself during your in-shower karaoke sesh. Your ABBA covers *deserve* an audience. Promising review:"This deluxe shaving mirror saves me about 15 minutes in the morning. If you're anything like me, 15 minutes in the morning is like an hour in daytime hours. I really like not having to keep up with and apply the anti-fog sprays to the mirror, which only temporarily work (so I hear). Filling the back with water that goes in the back of the mirror only takes about 10 seconds, and discarding the water after shaving takes about five seconds. Shaving in the shower with all the steam makes your shaving experience much closer and comfortable, I find. Like I said, when I wake up in the morning, I stumble to the shower FIRST. No more going to the sink, washing my face, shaving, AND THEN stumbling to the shower. Excellent way to start the day... and with much less stumbling, my chances are much greater in making it to work... LOL" — Nicholas Get it from Amazon for $37.95. 44. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover for everyone who is just tired of trying to clean those cloudy glass shower doors, spot-covered fixtures, tile and grout, and more. It even works on pools! If you're not convinced, just hear from one reviewer: "Step one: Look at the pictures. Step two: Buy a lifetime supply immediately." Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.77. 45. A gorgeous and functional electric tea kettle that can take water from tap to boiling in just minutes, so your cuppa tea, pour-over coffee, or instant oatmeal is ready in far less time. Plus, the chic design and gooseneck spout will actually look cute sitting out on your counter. It also has an auto shutoff! Promising review: "I'm definitely a fan of this kettle. Our last one broke, so this was my first 'gooseneck' one. I love the Azure color and wished my other appliances would come in this color to match too now. It's cute and the spout makes it easy to pour in a controlled manner. The large capacity makes it great because I can boil enough hot water for the whole family, but it's still small enough that I can fit it on the kitchen counter and it not be a visual nuisance. Recommend!" — Kim Vo Get it from Amazon for $37.95+ (available in three colors). 46. A set of wide, shallow bowls, because they are simply the *best* to eat out of — I don't make the rules. Who needs boring ole plates or regular bowls when these beauties exist to make your Big Salads, pasta feasts, smoothie bowls, etc., more beautiful and more fun to eat?! Promising review: "These bowls are great. I lived my entire life until now without owning shallow bowls. I've been eating spaghetti off of a plate like some kind of wild animal. My life is forever changed." — JessieMo Get a set of four from Amazon for $35.98 (available in four colors). 47. A five-pound bucket of Crayola Air Dry Clay if you want to dip your toe into the art of sculpting but don't have a kiln magically at the ready. Just work your artistry, and when you're done, the clay will harden on its own without any oven time required! Psst — a lot of reviewers use silicone or plastic molds to get specific shapes! Promising review: "It's honestly just a really nice material to work with! If you want to create things with clay, this is definitely a good choice! It's definitely not for professional use, but I feel like that's a given? I mean, it is Crayola. But all in all, great for those who want to use it for fun!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.03.
