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 · It's not an impulse purchase if it's if you *really* want it. That's science. 1. A hair bun snap wrap for folks who find perfecting their ballerina bun as difficult as dancing on point. These are available in several colors to blend in with hair. To use, just wrap your hair around the tool while flat, keep rolling up to your head, and snap it closed. It's a cinch! Promising review:"I am surprised these work on my hair 👍🏼 I have REALLY thick, curly (or puffy depending if I brush it-which I don't because I look like I've been electrocuted) below my shoulder, layered hair... AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS! I was very very happy and it was so easy and quick. Yep...I love em 😁" — Just Jen Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors). 2. A mod Otherland candle with a coconut soy wax blend and a 55-hour burn time — one whiff of these sensational scents is sure to show you that beauty isn't just something you see. My coworker Heather Braga has this to say about Otherland Candles:"I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the USA." Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in two scents). 3. A tube of Essence mascara, available in both black and brown, that'll make your lashes so long and full it'll look like you stole them right off of Harry Style's angelic face. This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. You can see my before and after photos above. This stuff is magic. Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Miller Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors). 4. And a stylist's secret eyelash comb (at $5!!) makeup artists consider one of the very best tools for separating lashes and keeping mascara from clumping up. Enjoy some long, luscious lashes without clumps making you feel down in the dumps! The metal on the comb is anti-rust and easy to clean, and comes with a protective cover for maximum hygiene.

Steve Madden Howler Chelsea boots sure to complement your spring dresses now that the warmer weather has come around. Promising review:"I'm obsessed with these boots!!!! I went hiking in them where I walked in the Ireland rain and puddles (image above, right)! They are comfortable and great for terrain! I got so many compliments on them! You MUST buy these!" — Sata Get them from Amazon for $72.82+ (available in women's sizes 5.5-13, in wide sizes, and 10 colors). 6. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and cleanup!) with speed that feels downright magical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then just throw them right into the dishwasher! Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors and six styles). 7. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream formulated with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil to give your skin a powerful dose of hydration. It'll also wake up and temporarily tighten your skin with the same stuff you use to become awake and alert for the That's right, our skin enjoys the stuff as much as the rest of us. This smells like vanilla and caramel, which means it's basically a latte for your skin. Delicious. Amazon, You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I've tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I've tried. I love the scent. Sol de Jeneiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." — Stephanie Hooper Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes). 8. A cross-hatch tissue holder that's unnecessary, as it is simply placed around the tissue packaging, but it's giving Bottega Veneta, gonna be your next need. Promising review:"This product is exactly what I was hoping for. It's great quality. Looks so chic. Such a nice way to dress up a household necessity. Definitely worth it." — Kaylee Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors). 9. A stuffed waffle maker — this applause-worthy appliance is designed with a deep, bowl-like griddle which allows you to cook the batter with fillings (we're talking chocolate, fruit, cheese, works). Upgrade your morning routine from frozen waffles to a homemade meal that'll look straight off a "best of" brunch menu. Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling Get it from Amazon for $48.50. 10. A portable ping-pong set that'll turn your dining room table into *the* place to hang out (even when there isn't a crumb of food around). My husband and I LOVE ping-pong and we got this set for our Brooklyn apartment. We *literally* play this every day. It's turned our tiny dining room into the perfect WFH break room. Amazon Set includes a retractable net, two paddles, three balls, and case. Promising review:"I got this for my son for Christmas. We don't have a lot of space for a full ping pong table but I have a long dinning table that is perfect. This is easy to assemble and it changes up family game night. Great fun!!" — Heather Gould Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three set sizes). 11. An illuminating moisturizer — if you're looking to add a lightweight alternative to your thick foundation and want an extra *glow*, then you're gonna adore this! Reviewers say it's basically like if Glossier's Futuredew and Drunk Elephant's Bronzing Drops had a brilliant, beautiful skincare baby. Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.27 (available in six shades and two-packs). 12. A muslin blanket that'll look chic in your space and keep you warm during chilly spring days and when the AC is freezing you out come the hot, hot weather. Promising review:"This is the perfect throw for summer nights as it is lightweight. Yet since it is muslin it will adjust to the climate so I'm sure it will be so cozy during the winter time. It's beautiful and so soft and now I don't have to steal my son's blankets! It is so soft, cuddly, and beautiful." — A&E Get it from Amazon for $34.89+ (available in six sizes and 18 colors). 13. A pair of Levi's Ribcage jeans so viral on TikTok (we're talking several generations of adoring fans here) they may have bumped sliced bread down to #2 on the list of greatest things ever. Promising review: "Bought these for both my daughter and me, and they look great on both of us!!! They're extremely comfortable, and they stretch just enough. The quality is exactly what you expect from Levi's. We purchased three pairs in total and plan on purchasing more in other colors." — Lulu Herrera Get them from Amazon for $70.67+ (available in sizes 24–32 Standard and 38–39 Plus and in 15 washes). 14. An undetectable mouse jiggler for anyone working at home who need to stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack. Get this nifty gadget if you'd prefer not explaining to your team that you were M.I.A. so long because the chatty food deliverer wanted to know why you only ordered cream cheese rangoons and a large coffee for lunch. Promising review:"Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles). 15. A timeless tennis bracelet sure to look like you put down some serious $$$ on Swarovski, which can stay our little secret. Promising review: " Soooo pretty. It's 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two styles, three colors, and three sizes). 16. A coffee syrup dispenser set complete with premade flavor labels for turning your kitchen into the intimidatingly chic cafe you, sigh, don't have on your side of suburbia. New England Stories is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about story a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get a set of four from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors and in two- and six-packs). 17. A tattoo aftercare salve to make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $13.04+ (available in two scents). 18. "The Clean Ball" — throw this cat-toy lookin' thing into your purse or backpack, and it's gonna catch all the crumbs and debris that accumulate at the bottom. I sure wish I'd known about this gizmo before going through my homemade granola phase. Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether *Another* 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 $13.99 (available in five colors and three-packs). 19. A scrunchie/towel hybrid to help your hair dry faster without any heat tools! Reviewers love this as a shower-and-go solution when they have to leave the house with wet hair. We love a product that helps us with our busy schedules. Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They sell a wide variety of beauty products and hair accessories for all hair types. Promising review:"I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." — Meghan Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in two styles). 20. A milk frother for coffee connoisseurs who have ~bean~ wanting a tool that creates a rich, creamy froth for their daily drinks. Promising review:"All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that is comes with a cute holder for it." — Kayla Dillinger Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in several styles/colors). 21. An adjustable duster brush that'll spruce up your window shades so well you just might notice you actually do have a view through those dust bunnies. Promising review:"This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 22. Kitsch's iconic claw clip, made famous for its impressively strong hold despite such a dainty design (it's suitable for all hair types) and rounded teeth that'll hold your style together all day without damage or breakage. Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review:" Feels expensive. This hair clip works very well and also feels like a very high end item. It's very sturdy and is a great, trendy replacement for plastic claw clips." — Mae Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in silver, gold, and as a pair). 23. A cheese keeper to keep your favorite cheeses, both hard and soft, alive longer by allowing them to breathe. In the words of her highness, Veruca Salt, "Give it to me NOW!" Amazon Cheese is MY bar of chocolate. Promising review:"Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" — Awesome Taste Get it from Amazon for $12.82. 24. A classic pair of slip-on Vans if tying your shoes is extra work only for Monday through Friday. Weekend sneaks should be slip-ons, always. Promising review: " I buy these frequently because I've never had a bad pair. I tend to buy two or three pairs at a time. They are good shoes that wear well and are comfortable. I toss mine in the laundry now and again to keep them clean and fresh. I wear mine for everything — work, play, to restaurants, gardening, and morning walks." — RobertW Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes 3.5–17.5 and in various colors). 25. An avocado pit planter so you can grow your own avocado plant if you don't have a yard but gardening is in your roots. I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great! Promising review:"I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it's some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" — Alysia Get it from Amazon for $16.29. 26. A collection of ombre nesting bowls hue will wanna get in your life stat! These non-slip bowls are dishwasher-safe, freezer-safe, food-safe, and BPA-free. Amazon Promising review:" I like the fact that these bowls are deep rather than wide so they don't take up a lot of shelf space. The colors are beautiful. I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in different set sizes and styles). 27. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass so you can eat pickles to pass the time *without* the juice making a mess. Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick Get it from Amazon for $13.90. 28. A tomato knife that'll make chopping up this pesky piece of produce tomat- oh so easy! Promising review:"I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." — Jane S. Get it from Amazon for $14.75 (available in packs of two and six). 29. A pair of hoop earrings you can add to your outfit if you think every day should be casual Friday. Your boss will certainly think your sweats look chic with accessories like these! Promising review: "OMG I'm obsessed with these earrings. They're so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They're great quality and I usually can't wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch like crazy. This one didn't do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn't do that either. I'm going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." — Ziyana Iyer Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and colors). 30. A charming waterproof shelf liner for impressing your friends with an aesthetic solution that'll keep your shelves from getting gunky. Even opening the fridge is gonna be a delightful surprise at your place. Good on ya. Amazon Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 17 patterns). 31. A bottle of Folex spot remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy. Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $13.30+ (available in various sizes and packs). 32. A pair of lovely silicone trivets with a soft, bendable design — making them great for placing hot dishes down *and* for taking those very dishes out of the oven before your meal. In a world where kitchens are already filled with gadgets and gizmos yourself a tool that does more than its fair share! Amazon These are so darn good lookin' you can just leave them out as coasters the rest of the time! Promising review:"I bought these as a barrier between the cold stone countertops and my morning cup of coffee and they definitely allow my coffee to stay warm longer." — Kelly Get them from Amazon for $11.40+ (available in three colors). 33. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp that's easy peasy to put on *and* makes cleaning your toilet simpler than it's ever been! Mostly because, with this, you won't be the one cleaning your toilet. Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.67. 34. The Pink Stuff All-Purpose Floor Cleaner for folks who know The Pink Stuff could be the *only* stuff. Try out their floor cleaner and forget the days when spills and stains ruled your afternoons. In need of more from The Pink Stuff? Don't forget to stock up on the classic while you're at it! Promising review:"This is just what I wanted. I really like that there isn't a residue left over on my floors. The smell is very simple and clean and now my floors look terrific." — S.A. Milano Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (also available in a two-pack). 35. A water bottle organizer that'll give each and every one of your emotional support water bottles a cozy place to rest. Promising review: " This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I've been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven shelf sizes). 36. A marble-patterned dish drying mat because in your home, even dirty dishes are sure to look lovely. Good on you. You must really intimidate your friends. Nice. Amazon Promising review:"Matched our counters and almost blends in completely. We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." — Shopmindfully Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in several colors/patterns). 37. A pair of YogaToes gemstone stretchers — a splurge-worthy impulse purchase made with hypoallergenic medical-grade gel, for folks who have hammer toe, bunions, plantar fasciitis, etc. Try tossing these in the freezer and treating your feet to a soothing, cooling treatment at the end of the day. Ahhh, I can feel the relief just thinking about that. Promising review:"It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I'm happy and I think I may get some as gifts. They easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $36.95. 38. A CovoBox that's hollow on the inside, so you can cover your Wi-Fi router with elegant "books" instead of leaving it out on display. What a *novel* idea! Amazon Handmade Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood. BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah! Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 39. A pretty stainless steel measuring cup set so every step of your baking process can be pretty as a picture. Amazon Promising review:"These are beautiful! It's a wonderful set!

An ammonia-free glass and window cleaner that'll wipe away fingerprints and dog drool off the inside of your sliding doors without filling your home with a chemical smell. This is also a great option if you have a glass dining room table, like the reviewer below! Promising review:"I've been searching for a good window cleaner for four years. This cleans my dinette table better than any other cleaner. It's so clean you can see the reflection of my lighting in the glass, and that's the first time I've seen that. No streaking or residue, just clean (pictured above)." — ASull Get it from Amazon for $9.50. 41. A cervical neck "pillow" that'll provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much-needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down. Amazon, After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors). 42. A 3-in-1 wireless charger can help you rid your side table of pesky charging cords. Charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time, and all in the same place! No tangled-up collection of cords needed. Promising review:"I love this charging station! I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven colors). 43. An ultra soft faux fur rug sure to feel luxurious every time you get out of bed and have this fancy fuzz between your toes instead of the cold wood floors beneath your feet. Amazon Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.70+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors). 44. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) so you can make sure there's soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — woolymammoth Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 12 pack styles/sizes). 45.

It's nice to also have some new bobby pins!" — Monica Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). 46. A shower phone holder so you can binge-watch Love Island without pesky hygiene getting in the way. Promising review:"This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" — Jackie Donovan Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in nine colors). 47. A spiffy K-Cup storage drawer — a fool-proof system that'll be simple and chic even when your caffeine-deprived morning brain can hardly spell coffee, let alone make it. Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups. Promising review:"I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top.

An LED flat plate — this is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you. They don't understand what they're missing, sleeping instead of devouring ACOTAR like their life depends on it. Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two styles). 49. John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam for folks who know in their heart their bedhead could look beautiful but know themselves well enough to simply accept that they'll never get into a beauty routine (am I just talking to myself at this point?). This non-sticky product WANTS your hair to look gorgeous, and it's happy to do all the work! Just scrunch it through your wet hair and air-dry your way to a beautifully styled 'do.

The recipes are clear, the pictures are gorgeous, and this definitely a fun gift. Promising review:"I love the concept for this book! I organize a cookie swap every year for by neighbors at holiday time. This book is absolutely perfect for ideas and recipes. It even tells you how to organize a swap and the recipe yields are all divisible by 12. The author has thought of everything, including advice on a 'bag of tricks,' which includes discussions on chocolate, types of butter, equipment, and types of cookies." — Falmouth Get it from Amazon for $14.50.

Shopping · Think of it as an impulse purchase you'll be really really glad to have when *the* moment finally arrives. 1. A hair bun snap wrap, so you can always show off the *perfect* bun. All you have to do is wrap your hair around the tool, roll it up to your scalp, and then snap it closed — it's basically a slap bracelet for your hair! These even come in several colors to blend in with your hair, so no one has to know you achieved that bun with some help! Promising review:"I am surprised these work on my hair. 👍🏼 I have REALLY thick, curly (or puffy depending if I brush it which I don't because I look like I've been electrocuted) below my shoulder, layered hair... AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS! I was very very happy. It was so easy and quick. Yep...I love em. 😁" — Just Jenn Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors). 2.

Set the mood in your space with a scent that makes your heart sing each time you catch a whiff! My coworker Heather Braga has this to say about Otherland Candles:"I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them.

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower (pictured above) has to say:"This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. You can see my before and after photos above. This stuff is magic." Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat [ridiculously]...and this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Weikert Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors). 4. Plus, an innovative, MUA-approved eyelash comb that allows you to remove clumps of mascara and separate eyelash strands for a cleaner, neater, and fuller look.

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

Definitely worth it." — Kaylee Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors). 9.

This little gadget allows you to fill your waffles with basically anything you want, while still taking the same time to cook as a regular waffle! 😭 Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones were scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling Get it from Amazon for $44.99. 10. A portable ping-pong set complete with a retractable net, paddles, and three balls that'll transform your regular-degular dining table into a DIY break room where you can leave all your frustrations "on the court." Amazon Set includes a retractable net, two paddles, three balls, and a storage case. Promising review:"I got this for my son for Christmas. We don't have a lot of space for a full ping pong table but I have a long dinning table that is perfect. This is easy to assemble and it changes up family game night. Great fun!!" — Heather Gould Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three set sizes). 11. L'Oréal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion, a lightweight tinted moisturizer that goes on effortlessly and is formulated with a blend of glycerin and shea butter to keep your skin hydrated underneath! It delivers a similar shimmery, dewy glow to your complexion as Glossier Futuredew, which retails for over twice the price. Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in five shades). 12. A must-have muslin blanket designed for all-season lounging thanks to the lightweight, breathable cotton that'll keep you comfy no matter what unpredictable weather spring blows your way. Promising review:"This is the perfect throw for summer nights as it is lightweight. Yet since it is muslin it will adjust to the climate so I'm sure it will be so cozy during the winter time. It's beautiful and so soft and now I don't have to steal my son's blankets! It is so soft, cuddly, and beautiful." — A&E Get it from Amazon for $29.89+ (available in six sizes and 22 colors). 13. A pair of Levi's Ribcage jeans because high-rise jeans will never go out of style and paired with the straight-leg silhouette and cropped ankle length, neither will your fashion sense. Promising review: "Bought these for both my daughter and me, and they look great on both of us!!! They're extremely comfortable, and they stretch just enough. The quality is exactly what you expect from Levi's. We purchased three pairs in total and plan on purchasing more in other colors." — Lulu Herrera Get them from Amazon for $42.61+ (available in women's sizes 24–32 Standard and 35–38 Plus and in 10 washes). 14.

You won't need to update your Slack, Teams, or Gchat status every time you get up from your desk with this little gadget. Promising review:"Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.56+ (available in four styles). 15. A tennis bracelet that looks waaaay more expensive than it actually is, but no one has to know you spent less than 20 bucks on your new favorite accessory! The sophisticated sparkle will usher in so many compliments, and some reviewers even say it's similar to a much much pricier Swarovski piece! Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. 🤫 Promising review: "I have a real diamond tennis bracelet. It is set in white gold, and I tend to wear it only on special occasions because it's expensive and it would break my heart to lose it. I really wanted one set in yellow gold but didn't want to spend that kind of money. Plus, I wanted to wear it most days with a stack of others. The quality blew me away! The stones are set perfectly and don't snag on sweaters or other fabrics. It is lightweight on my wrist but doesn't look cheap. I wear it comfortably all day without thought. The size of the stone at 3 mm is just perfect, in my opinion, and doesn't look garish and fake... I have been wearing it pretty much daily and the clasp seems very durable with easy on and off. So far, no tarnishing (but it's not summer yet, so we shall see). This is now my new favorite brand of jewelry for its quality, design, and pricing! I will be adding more pieces to my collection." — A. Hessong Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two styles, three colors, and three sizes). 16. A coffee syrup dispenser set for your coffee bar, so you can enjoy your favorite handcrafted lattes from the comfort of your home. One morning you're going to wake up and dance your way to your at-home coffee bar because you don't have to drive across town for the perfect cup of morning joe! Each set includes 24 premade labels, four blank labels, and a foldable silicone funnel. New England Stories is a small business offering a range of homegoods. Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about storing a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get a four-pack from Amazon for $26.99 (available in three colors and two- and six-packs). 17. A tattoo aftercare salve designed to make your tattoos pop like you just left the shop, whether it's been a few days or a few years. A cruelty-free and vegan formula helps soothe and protect skin to keep your previous "canvas" looking good as new. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Mallory Mower uses Mad Rabbit on her tattoos, and here's her take:"Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!" College buddies Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor founded Mad Rabbit after realizing there was a gap in the market for all-natural products used to heal, protect, and enhance the appearance of tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $16.30+ (available in two scents). 18. "The Clean Ball," which helps collect dirt, dust, and crumbs from the bottom of your backpack, purse, or tote. Whatever debris it comes across attaches to the interior sticky ball, so once it's "full" or gross-looking, you just squeeze the exterior, remove the sticky part, and rinse it off! *Opens bag because it's a new season* ...Is that a granola bar??? Promising reviews: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether "This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it's ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" — dj3biggs Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors and multipacks). 19. A scrunchie/towel hybrid to absorb excess water in your hair, so it can dry faster without any heat. It makes a perfect wash-n-go companion on days when you don't have time to blow dry before heading out, but you can also use it to hold your hair back during your morning skincare routine! Kitsch is a woman-owned brand based in LA that creates cute *and* functional hair and skin accessories. Promising review:"I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." — Meghan Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in two styles). 20. A handheld milk frother so you can enjoy your at-home latte the same way you would at a café: with creamy, frothy foam on top. Transform your milk in seconds — which is less time than it takes to even order a latte, TBH — with this must-have gadget that takes up practically zero counter space and is a great budget-friendly alternative to the pricier Nespresso Aeroccino. This one doesn't heat up milk though like the Nespresso, but still worth it! Promising review:"All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that it comes with a cute holder for it." — Kayla Dillinger Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 styles/colors). 21. An adjustable microfiber duster brush with a genius blade-like design, so you can clean several blinds with a single swipe! If you've been wondering where all the dust in your house is coming from — it's probably the blinds... 👀 Each duster includes four reusable microfiber sleeves. Promising review:"This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 22. Kitsch's iconic claw clip — a top-rated accessory beloved for its durability and elegant metal design that'll make even the messiest of buns look stylishly intentional. Promising review:" Feels expensive. This hair clip works very well and also feels like a very high end item. It's very sturdy and is a great, trendy replacement for plastic claw clips." — Mae Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in hematite, gold, and as a pair). 23. A cheese keeper that allows your hard *and* soft cheeses to breathe while also preventing them from drying out when stored. If you love an expensive cheese ::raises hands:: you're definitely going to want this in your fridge the next time you feel like fixing up a charcuterie board! Amazon Promising review:"Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" — Awesome Taste Get it from Amazon for $12.84. 24. A classic pair of slip-on Vans because sometimes you just want a shoe you can depend on. With so many color options, you won't have any problems putting together a cute fit with these canvas sneakers (or waste anytime tying them before heading out)! Promising review: " I buy these frequently because I've never had a bad pair. I tend to buy two or three pairs at a time. They are good shoes that wear well and are comfortable. I toss mine in the laundry now and again to keep them clean and fresh. I wear mine for everything — work, play, to restaurants, gardening, and morning walks." — RobertW Get them from Amazon for $33.17+ (available in women's sizes 5–17.5 and in various colors). 25. An avocado pit planter so you can literally reap what you sow (in due time) by growing your own avocado plant even if you don't have a garden, yard, or window box. You simply pop your clean avocado seed into the bottle opening, which cradles it above the water to keep it dry and allow ample room for the roots to flourish and seedling to sprout! And the best part? You get a front-row seat to it all. BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower owns this, and here's her personal review:"I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great!" Promising review:"I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it's some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" — Alysia Get it from Amazon for $16.29. 26. A collection of ombre nesting bowls to take your kitchen to new heights with gorgeous color coordination. These baking must-haves are dishwasher-, freezer-, and food safe, BPA free, and designed with nonslip bottoms. And the lids even have a peek-a-boo design, so you can see what's in each bowl! Amazon Promising review:" I like the fact that these bowls are deep rather than wide so they don't take up a lot of shelf space. The colors are beautiful. I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in different set sizes and styles). 27. A pickle keeper and juice strainer with a double-ended design, so you can flip it over, drain the juices, and grab 'em without getting juice all over your hands. It's perfect for anyone who loves pickles (duh), olives, and other brined foods. Looks like your snacking just leveled up! Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 28. A serrated tomato knife designed to cleanly cut through the fruit without squashing it or squirting juice everywhere and making a massive mess. You actually might become obsessed once you see how much of a difference this makes during meal prep! Promising review:"I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." — Jane S. Get it from Amazon for $14.75. 29. A pair of open-hoop earrings that'll add some subtle glam to your everyday outfits. These are from the TikTok-famous jewelry brand Pavoi, known for their high-quality accessories that boast expensive looks at budget-friendly prices! Promising review: "OMG I'm obsessed with these earrings. They're so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They're great quality and I usually can't wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch [so much]. This one didn't do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn't do that either. I'm going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." — Ziyana Iyer Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes, three colors, and two styles). 30. A charming cut-to-size daisy print waterproof shelf liner if you want to make your kitchen shelving and fridge interior a little more ✨ aesthetic. ✨ It might not always be spring outside, but you can enjoy delightful year-round blooms every time you're in the mood for a snack! Amazon Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in eight sizes and 18 other styles). 31. A bottle of no-scrub, no-rinse, nontoxic Folex spot remover that effectively removes stains like yellow mustard grease drippings from your favorite takeout, ink, makeup after a hard nap, muddy paw prints, and sooooo much more from pretty much any fabric surface. The next time you spill red wine on the couch because of a White Lotus plot twist? You won't have to panic over how to clean it! Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and multipacks). 32. A pair of stylish silicone trivets created with a flexible design for use as pot holders or countertop protection when it's time to let your casserole cool. Not to mention, the muted pastel hues will add a lovely pop of color to your kitchen! Amazon Promising review:"I bought these as a barrier between the cold stone countertops and my morning cup of coffee and they definitely allow my coffee to stay warm longer." — Kelly Get them from Amazon for $11.40+ (available in five colors). 33. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to keep your toilet smelling so fresh and looking so clean, without you having to scrub it every single day. With each flush, the stamp releases some of the cleaning gel to give the bowl a foaming cleanse. Easy peasy! Scrubbing Bubbles / Scrubbing Bubbles Promising review:"Helps reduce stains and odor between weekly cleanings. Has a pleasant fresh scent, not the strong bleach like the tablets. It lasts and stays on for quite awhile, but that depends on how many flushes." — HNL Get 24 stamps from Amazon for $13.87. 34. The Pink Stuff All-Purpose Floor Cleaner if you want to see just how well The Pink Stuff works. This floor cleaner will take your dirty grout and stained tile to like-new appearances after scrubbing with this! Amazon, In need of more from The Pink Stuff? Don't forget to stock up on the classic while you're at it! Promising review:"This is just what I wanted. I really like that there isn't a residue left over on my floors. The smell is very simple and clean and now my floors look terrific." — S.A. Milano Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (also available in a pack of two). 35. A water bottle organizer to help you optimize your cabinet space — so now you can see all your water bottles at once — by cutting down on clutter and making use of all that vertical space collecting dust! Promising review: " This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I've been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four shelf sizes). 36. A marble-patterned dish drying mat that'll ensure your kitchen still looks picture-perfect even as your clean dishes are stacked up on the side of the sink. Go on, take that photo of your fresh batch of sourdough, your countertop looks ah-may-zing! Amazon Promising review:"Matched our counters and almost blends in completely. We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." — Shopmindfully Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and 16 colors/patterns). 37. A pair of YogaToes gemstone stretchers — this freaky little impulse buy is created with medical-grade gel to separate and stretch your toes for improved balance and posture. Reviewers with bunions, hammer toe, and plantar fasciitis swear by them, and even recommend popping them in the freezer to give your feet a sweet, soothing treat at the end of a long day!

Amazon Handmade You can even customize the look before adding it to your cart, choosing from 14 length options and 15 colors. Covogoods is a Utah-based, family-owned small business. Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 39.

Plus, there's no chemical smell, so you don't have to worry about airing out the room while cleaning! Promising review:"I've been searching for a good window cleaner for four years. This cleans my dinette table better than any other cleaner. It's so clean you can see the reflection of my lighting in the glass, and that's the first time I've seen that. No streaking or residue, just clean (pictured above)." — ASull Get it from Amazon for $3.79. 41.

It's even adorned with massage nodules to offer some added relaxation — like having a massage therapist and chiropractor in your home! Amazon, As always, if you have any neck or back issues, you should talk to your doctor before use. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Mallory Mower has to say about this product:"After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture." Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in six colors). 42.

I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two styles and eight colors). 43. An plush faux-fur area rug if you want to add a luxe accent to any room that's super cozy and looks like you dropped a lot of dough, but in reality... well, no one needs to know where you got it. 😉 Amazon Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors). 44.

Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy!

This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two color temperatures). 49.

And speaking of "coiffed 'dos": The John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam that's created for all hair types, making sure curls and waves are defined and shiny, while straight hair remains frizz-free and voluminous. We didn't know bedhead or a wash 'n' go could look this stunning, but apply some of this lightweight, nonsticky mousse to your wet hair and let the air-dry magic run its course! It's also safe on color-treated hair! Promising reviews: " I have very fine, thin, wavy hair. In order to give myself some volume, I usually gel my roots and mid-length hair... I decided to try this to just remove one less thing from my day. And it works! It has enough hold while it's drying that it keeps my waves, but is soft enough that I don't have to scrunch it at all." — Suzi "I actually loved this more than I thought I would. I have naturally wavy hair but tend to be pretty lazy with styling on a regular basis. This product worked great with scrunching into wet hair in sections and allowing to air dry. I followed up with the Sun Bum Sea Salt Spray and my waves stayed for a few days with touch ups. I didn't have to use my diffuser and was able to style and go! Perfect for summer." — Lacey " Wonderful on natural curls. I love that this product did not weigh down my hair. I put in this product, no blow drying needed. My hair is not sticky or crunchy. I totally recommend this product. Natural curls with no frizz." — 1Kittydog Get it from Amazon for $8.95. 51.

A tube of Essence mascara, available in both black and brown, that'll make your lashes so long and full it'll look like you stole them right off of Harry Style's angelic face. This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me.

My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume.

Definitely worth it." — Kaylee Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in three sizes and 12 colors). 9. A stuffed waffle maker — this applause-worthy appliance is designed with a deep, bowl-like griddle which allows you to cook the batter with fillings (we're talking chocolate, fruit, cheese, works). Upgrade your morning routine from frozen waffles to a homemade meal that'll look straight off a "best of" brunch menu. Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 10. A portable ping-pong set that'll turn your dining room table into *the* place to hang out (even when there isn't a crumb of food around).

Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in six shades). 12. A muslin blanket that'll look chic in your space and keep you warm when cold weather strikes. Promising review:"This is the perfect throw for summer nights as it is lightweight.

A coffee syrup dispenser set complete with premade flavor labels for turning your kitchen into the intimidatingly chic cafe you, sigh, don't have on your side of suburbia. New England Stories is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about story a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (for four; available in three colors and in two- and six-packs). 17. A tattoo aftercare salve to make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again.

I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether *Another* 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.

We love a product that helps us with our busy schedules. Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They sell a wide variety of beauty products and hair accessories for all hair types. Promising review:"I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." — Meghan Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two styles). 20.

Amazon Cheese is MY bar of chocolate. Promising review:"Oh wow!

I wear mine for everything — work, play, to restaurants, gardening, and morning walks." — RobertW Get them from Amazon for $30+ (available in women's sizes 3.5–17.5 and in various colors). 25. An avocado pit planter so you can grow your own avocado plant if you don't have a yard but gardening is in your roots. I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great! Promising review:"I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it's some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" — Alysia Get it from Amazon for $16.29. 26. A collection of ombre nesting bowls hue will wanna get in your life stat! These non-slip bowls are dishwasher-safe, freezer-safe, food-safe, and BPA-free.

I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in different set sizes and styles). 27. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass so you can eat pickles to pass the time *without* the juice making a mess. Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick Get it from Amazon for $13.90+ (available in two colors). 28. A tomato knife that'll make chopping up this pesky piece of produce tomat- oh so easy! Promising review:"I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." — Jane S. Get it from Amazon for $14.75. 29. A pair of hoop earrings you can add to your outfit if you think every day should be casual Friday. Your boss will certainly think your sweats look chic with accessories like these! Promising review: "OMG I'm obsessed with these earrings. They're so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They're great quality and I usually can't wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch like crazy. This one didn't do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn't do that either. I'm going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." — Ziyana Iyer Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and colors). 30. A charming waterproof shelf liner for impressing your friends with an aesthetic solution that'll keep your shelves from getting gunky. Even opening the fridge is gonna be a delightful surprise at your place. Good on ya. Amazon Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 20 patterns). 31. A bottle of Folex spot remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy. Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $6.65. 32. A pair of lovely silicone trivets with a soft, bendable design — making them great for placing hot dishes down *and* for taking those very dishes out of the oven before your meal. In a world where kitchens are already filled with gadgets and gizmos yourself a tool that does more than its fair share! Amazon These are so darn good lookin' you can just leave them out as coasters the rest of the time! Promising review:"I bought these as a barrier between the cold stone countertops and my morning cup of coffee and they definitely allow my coffee to stay warm longer." — Kelly Get them from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in five colors). 33. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp that's easy peasy to put on *and* makes cleaning your toilet simpler than it's ever been! Mostly because, with this, you won't be the one cleaning your toilet. Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $5.16. 34. The Pink Stuff All-Purpose Floor Cleaner for folks who know The Pink Stuff could be the *only* stuff. Try out their floor cleaner and forget the days when spills and stains ruled your afternoons. Amazon, In need of more from The Pink Stuff? Don't forget to stock up on the classic while you're at it! Promising review:"This is just what I wanted. I really like that there isn't a residue left over on my floors. The smell is very simple and clean and now my floors look terrific." — S.A. Milano Get it from Amazon for $6.98. 35. A water bottle organizer that'll give each and every one of your emotional support water bottles a cozy place to rest. Promising review: " This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I've been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four shelf sizes). 36. A marble-patterned dish drying mat because in your home, even dirty dishes are sure to look lovely. Good on you. You must really intimidate your friends. Nice. Amazon Promising review:"Matched our counters and almost blends in completely. We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." — Shopmindfully Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in several colors/patterns). 37. A pair of YogaToes gemstone stretchers — a splurge-worthy impulse purchase made with hypoallergenic medical-grade gel, for folks who have hammer toe, bunions, plantar fasciitis, etc. Try tossing these in the freezer and treating your feet to a soothing, cooling treatment at the end of the day. Ahhh, I can feel the relief just thinking about that. Promising review:"It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I'm happy and I think I may get some as gifts. They easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $36.95. 38. A CovoBox that's hollow on the inside, so you can cover your Wi-Fi router with elegant "books" instead of leaving it out on display. What a *novel* idea! Amazon Handmade Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood. BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah! Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 39. A pretty stainless steel measuring cup set so every step of your baking process can be pretty as a picture. Amazon Promising review:"These are beautiful! It's a wonderful set! They are heavy duty and have a great expensive look without costing a fortune!" — K. LaNou Get the eight-piece set from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in four colors). 40. A cervical neck "pillow" that'll provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much-needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down. Amazon, After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors). 41. A 3-in-1 wireless charger can help you rid your side table of pesky charging cords. Charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time, and all in the same place! No tangled-up collection of cords needed. Promising review:"I love this charging station! I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in eight colors). 42. An ultra soft faux fur rug sure to feel luxurious every time you get out of bed and have this fancy fuzz between your toes instead of the cold wood floors beneath your feet. Amazon Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors). 43. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) so you can make sure there's soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — woolymammoth Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 13 pack styles/sizes). 44. A magnetic bobby pin tray that'll hold tight to your hair pins, getting you out of any ~hairy~ situations when your 'do doesn't quite stay in place. Promising review:"I love this product.

It's nice to also have some new bobby pins!" — Monica Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). 45. A shower phone holder so you can binge-watch Love Island without pesky hygiene getting in the way. Promising review:"This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" — Jackie Donovan Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in nine colors). 46. A spiffy K-Cup storage drawer — a fool-proof system that'll be simple and chic even when your caffeine-deprived morning brain can hardly spell coffee, let alone make it. Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups. Promising review:"I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." — tunisianswife Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three colors). 47. An LED flat plate — this is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you. They don't understand what they're missing, sleeping instead of devouring ACOTAR like their life depends on it. Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $31.99. 48. A sinfully silky satin-lined beanie that'll keep your noggin warm *without* drying out and damaging your hair. This'll save you from forcing yourself to keep your hat on in heated homes when you don't want folks seeing your bed head-esque hat hair. Whew. Promising review:"This beanie is perfect for curly and wavy girls! The entire inside is satin-lined. When I took the hat off it did not cause any damaged or frizzy curls! I am in love and need more colors!" — Crystal Ingram Get it from Amazon $14.99 (available in seven colors). 49. John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam for folks who know in their heart their bedhead could look beautiful but know themselves well enough to simply accept that they'll never get into a beauty routine (am I just talking to myself at this point?). This non-sticky product WANTS your hair to look gorgeous, and it's happy to do all the work! Just scrunch it through your wet hair and air-dry your way to a beautifully styled 'do. Reviewers with straighter hair types say the foam helps add voluminous waves to their hair, while those with thicker, wavier hair types say this helps add a bit more definition and shine. This is no longer in my shopping cart — it's being delivered to my door. Promising review: "Love this stuff when I let my hair air dry! Keeps it from going frizzy. I use a lot of John Frieda products!" — JoAnn Get it from Amazon for $9.10. 50. A TikTok remote control ring so you can scroll through TikToks without touching your phone.

FYI, This nifty gadget also works with your Kindle and can use your camera to take photos or video from up to 33 feet away. Promising review:"I have a TikTok obsession, and I am thrilled with this ring! I love how versatile it is, too, where I can flip book pages on my phone and go through music as well. It's easy to use and set up if your follow the instructions." — The Shopper around the Corner Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors). 51. Cookie Swap!, a cookbook with 50 recipes: everything from thumbprints and oatmeal to flaky cardamom palmiers and matcha sandwich cookies with almond cream. Amazon I have this book! My husband loves baking and *I* love that are not hard. We make cookie tins for friends every year (I know, how wholesome, right?) and this book was a great way to shake up our ideas! The recipes are clear, the pictures are gorgeous, and this definitely a fun gift. Promising review:"I love the concept for this book! I organize a cookie swap every year for by neighbors at holiday time. This book is absolutely perfect for ideas and recipes. It even tells you how to organize a swap and the recipe yields are all divisible by 12. The author has thought of everything, including advice on a 'bag of tricks,' which includes discussions on chocolate, types of butter, equipment, and types of cookies." — Falmouth Get it from Amazon for $17.10.

36 Products With Such High Ratings It's Almost Obnoxious
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 · Silicone nipple covers, cooling pillowcases, a mascara with a devout cult following, and other products that were definitely dubbed "most likely to succeed" in their high school yearbook. 1. A tube of Essence mascara, available in both black and brown, that'll make your lashes so long and full it'll look like you stole them right off of Harry Style's angelic face. This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Miller Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors). 2. A cooling blanket brilliantly knit with fibers that *absorb* body heat so you can stay covered without melting this summer. One side is a classic cotton and the other side has an ~Arc-Chill~ fabric that's literally cool to the touch. Ahem, cool. Promising review: " Sorcery! I don't know what makes this blanket work, and I don't care. The fact is that IT DOES!!! I overheat at night a lot because I live in Arizona. I got this blanket at the exact right time, and I'm THRILLED!!!" — Amanda Julia Hess Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors). 3. And a pair of cooling pillowcases with thousands of dreamy reviews from *previously* sweaty sleepers. If you find yourself waking up to flip to the cool side of the pillow over and over at night, the time has come to get these in your life. Sleep well! Promising review: "Super happy with these pillowcases — both sides are fairly cool, but the cooling side never warms up, which is wonderful in 110-degree California summers. They do not smell (something I worry about with nontraditional linen fabrics). They do tend to get a little wrinkly, but since they zip up, they quickly smooth out." — Tonia Get them from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in four sizes and seven colors). 4. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream formulated with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil to give your skin a powerful dose of hydration. It'll also wake up and temporarily tighten your skin with the same stuff you use to become awake and alert for the That's right, our skin enjoys the stuff as much as the rest of us. This smells like vanilla and caramel, which means it's basically a latte for your skin. Delicious. You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I've tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I've tried. I love the scent. Sol de Jeneiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." — Stephanie Hooper Get a 2.5-ounce jar from Amazon for $24. 5. A pair of reusable silicone nipple covers designed for all the summer dresses that feel like they're ruined by a bra. And I mean *summer* dresses — these are totally waterproof, so go ahead and enjoy the heat! There will be no need to ~sweat it~ in these. BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. Promising reviews: "These covers are AMAZING! I used them for the first time this weekend during my bachelorette because of how much white I would be wearing, and they were perfect. I usually use petals, but sometimes you can see the shape of the petal, and my nipple still shows, but these covered my boobs perfectly, and you couldn't see them through a see-through white body suit. They lasted through the night when I forgot to take them off before bed and also lasted through tonsssss of sweaty dancing. I never leave reviews, but I had to spend the word. All my girls on the trip were amazed by them and are all ordering now." — Amazon Customer Get a pair from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes, with or without lift, and five shades). 6. A breakfast sandwich maker so you can break up with your morning fast food commute and make yourself a 5-star worthy breakfast from the comfort of your counter. Eggcellent. The surfaces are covered with durable, nonstick coating, and all removable parts are dishwasher-safe. Promising review:"FAM. I need you to lissssssten. I would give this product 87 stars if I could. You'd think it would be one of those gimmicky kitchen appliances that barely even works. EXCEPT you're wrong. It's amazing. It's quick. Look. Lissssten. You put the ingredients in and about two minutes later your tummy is all like 'oh yesssss.' Basically. Just buy it. Purchase the sammich maker. You're welcome." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors). 7. A jealousy-inducing Melissa & Doug ice cream counter — it'll be tons of fun to play ice cream shop with your kids, for sure, but they *always* get to be the ice cream maker! When is it gonna be YOUR turn to scoop the ice cream cones?! It looks so fun! The wooden ice cream counter comes with eight ice cream scoops, six toppings, two cones, cup, scooper, tongs, wooden spoon, reusable menu card, and six pretend dollar bills. Promising review:" Fun toy set for a creative toddler. My newly-turned-3 year old daughter instantly fell in love with this set! She loves seeing how high she can stack the ice cream cones and pretending to serve Mom & Dad her creations. She's been obsessed with climbing things around the house and we *desperately* needed a distraction to get her to stop, and this is working so far — she plays with this thing for HOURS!" — West Family Get it from Amazon for $42.76. 8. An exfoliating mitten lots of folks love for preventing ingrown hairs, reducing KP, and smoothing out their skin before applying tanning lotion. I personally love using an exfoliating mitt in the summer after a day covered in sunscreen and sand. There's no better way to get rid of that goop! Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas. Promising review:"MAGIC. HOLY CRAP, I LOVE THIS MIT! This cleared up 80% of the 'chicken skin' I have INSTANTLY after one use. Also, it took off way more dead skin than any scrub I've ever used. I never write reviews, so I had to when I got this and loved it." — Cheyanne Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available as a pair). 9. A refillable roll-on sponge sunscreen applicator sure to make putting on sunscreen (both on your kids *and* on yourself) less of a chore. This goes on fast and blends in easily – no mess required! Families and other folks who look like *dweebs* slathering on sunscreen are sure to look at your quick application with envy. Promising review:"My children are fair-skinned and extremely easy to burn. Wearing sunscreen is not optional, but they still fight me every time. Using this product was so fast and easy they didn't even complain!!" — Jeshleigh Get it from Amazon for $23.98 (available in three colors and two-packs). 10. A bag of citrusy Liquid I.V. Hydration packets, with three times the electrolytes of a typical sports drink, great for packing on long hikes, recovering after a run, and keeping close during long days strolling in the sun. Honestly, you may just wanna keep these in your bag 24/7. These are also gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free! Promising review:"No issues with the packaging. I love the lemon-lime taste. It dissolves in your water easily; I only used a straw to stir it up. It was not gritty, and after drinking a glass, I truly felt my headache vanish, which I felt coming on after a heavy workout! My husband uses them for hangover days when you just don't want to feel as if you are nearing death, LOL! Satisfied and definitely 5 stars. Great to have on hand." — Britt Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in different flavors and pack sizes). 11. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll clean everything from pots and pans to blotches in your bathtub. Move over firefighters, I want a calendar of THIS sexy stuff and its shiny results. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.29. 12. An oscillating tower fan with six speeds (we're talkin' up to 24 feet per second velocity), three modes, and a surprisingly quiet design despite its power. If you're intimidated by installing an A.C. in your fourth-floor gonna be a big fan of this gadget. This includes a remote control and LED lights that turn off in sleep mode. Spiffy! Promising review: " Cools like magic. Great fan. It's super hot this summer, and I would not survive without it. Several speeds and functions. Quiet. Durable thus far, and it has run 18 hours a day every day since May. I didn't think the remote was a big deal but now I wouldn't want to be without it. Would recommend and buy again." — Javygirl Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three colors and two styles). 13. Cerave eye repair cream, which is cooked up with their famous blend of ceramides (a skincare "secret sauce" if you will) and a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and niacinamide to help tighten and brighten the appearance of skin. If you're revitalizing your skincare routine, add this to the mix and reduce the appearance of dark circles, under-eye puffiness, *and* fine lines. ~Eye~ love to see it. Promising review:"What sorcery is this??? Listen I'm 48, and I've bought a lot of face cream 'stuff' over the years. Expensive stuff that did nothing. Finally started using Cerave thanks to my 19-year-old daughter and TikTok, lol. I decided to try the eye cream, and I noticed a difference the morning I started using it. The brightening is apparent. Love this stuff." — Michelle Petrosh Get it from Amazon for $14.44. 14. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil with the most impressive review photos I've seen in my little life! Reviewers swear up and down over how well this erases blackheads and sebaceous filaments. Use this as the first step of your cleansing routine, and then just rinse with water. Watch your blackheads disappear so quickly they won't even have a chance to say goodbye. Aww, sad. As with all skincare products, if you're acne-prone YMMV, depending on the cause of your acne. Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! it also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" — Sarah Coleman Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 15. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and cleanup!) with speed that feels simply nonsensical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then you'll just throw them right into the dishwasher! Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in four styles and four colors). 16. A pair of toddler training cups with a clever self-sealing ring designed to close when turned over, saving your sofa from spills while giving your kiddo the confidence they need to try out a big-kid cup. Promising review: " We love these cups. We have been using these cups for four years between our two toddlers. Our son loved having open cups at the table but would inevitably spill when he had one anywhere else. So we got these, and he takes them everywhere. They typically don't leak but will spill if your curious little one rips off the silicone top. These are a must-have in our house. Just now ordered more!" — BNeater Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.59. 17. A portable air compressor so small and mighty it seems like something Mary Poppins would whip out of her magic carpet bag. If your tire deflates somewhere inconvenient, this thing is gonna be the roadside nanny you didn't know you needed. It has a real-time pressure monitor to inflate flat car and bike tires on the go. It even has a built-in LED light you can use at night and boasts a one-minute inflation, so you don't have to worry about being stuck on the side of the road too long. Promising review: "Words cannot describe how much I hate dealing with gas stations — whether it's getting gas, car wash, or air for my tires, I really hate being at the gas station for any length of time. I live in the Pittsburgh area, so the up-and-down weather wreaks havoc on my tire pressure and I am TRULY GRATEFUL to be able to check my tire pressure and fill them up from the comfort of my home. This device couldn't be easier to use, and the fact that you can lock the nozzle in place and fill the air hands-free is wonderful. I never leave reviews, but chef's kiss on this product. Can't recommend enough." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). 18. A Bio-Oil, beloved by many a skin-having human, made with a powerful blend of moisturizing oils and vitamins that'll aid in fadin' scars you'd rather have bippity-boppity- boop off your body. Promising review:" I am a 70-year-old woman with all the skin issues those years bring: fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, uneven skin tone, and dry patches. This oil is lightweight, absorbs nicely, and has a fairly pleasant smell, although a bit flowery. The main thing is it works. I could tell a difference in my skin the first week of use. My skin is hydrated and glowing, and the overall tone has improved considerably. Believe me when I say I have used a lot of serums, oils, and moisturizers over the years. I wish I had found this oil years ago." — Connie J Get it from Amazon for $10.06. 19. A TBH *too* nice Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop created to both vacuum and mop at the same time. Unlike our old dummy mops, this robot has a separate tank that stores the dirty water, and it retains 90% of the stuff, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing! Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." — Tsippi Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in three styles). 20. A set of Wonder Hangers so you can stack outfits, categories, or even *colors* of clothes with a vertical system, using up closet space in the most efficient (and A-type-friendly) way possible. Amazon It comes with six hangers that can hold five garments each, 10 if you double them up! Promising review:"I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white and the edges are smooth." — CAGH Get a pack of six from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors and larger packs). 21. A milk frother for coffee connoisseurs who have ~bean~ wanting a tool that creates a rich, creamy froth for their daily drinks. Make this at home and feel like the rad, if pretentious, barista you're too afraid to talk to when you go out for coffee. Promising review:"All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that is comes with a cute holder for it." — Kayla Dillinger Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in several colors). 22. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller so that cleanup is a breeze and it doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets but woof, shedding is their greatest skill. Promising review:"I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie; this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true: you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors). 23. A cruelty-free NYX butter gloss for shiny (and not sticky!) lips. This silky-smooth formula is available in all sorts of shades (from clear to bright red) so go ahead — get a collection. Promising review: "I love how lightweight this gloss is, and it isn't sticky at all. It is perfect for everyday wear, and I'll keep it in my purse. I'll also be using this on clients for finishing touches to make the lip pop more. I have to stock up on more!" — Princess Unique Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in 35 shades). 24. A bedside bassinet to place right beside you, keeping your little one safe and snug *and* keeping them at arm's reach during late night falling back asleep easier on everyone. Amazon Promising review:"I am so happy with this bed!! It lets me be close to my baby at night without being afraid of rolling over on him while he sleeps next to me! I also can easily pick him up and feed him if he cries! So glad I found this!" — Hannah Rodriguez Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in nine styles). 25. A high pressure rainfall showerhead with a stainless-steel finish that's sleek and a rainwater feature that's gonna be ooh-so-soothing. Promising review:"Incredible product!!! Buy it! This rainfall shower head gives me the best showers of my life." — Rivka Polanksy Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 26. A nongreasy hair wax stick with a whopping 29,000 5-star reviews — a lightweight solution for anyone who wants smooth edges and slick buns that'll last all dang day. BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they way want to! Check out " Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." Promising review:"This product works miracles on my little frizzy curls near my face! I never liked my hair back in a ponytail until I found this. It doesn't leave your hair looking greasy (as long as you don't apply way too much), and it holds it down for most of the day!" — Danielle Ball Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 27. A set of breathable seamless thongs specifically loved by several reviewers who "never wear" thongs and "hate" thongs. Folks say these are comfortable all day *and* claim they're comparable to (and even better than!) brands like Skims and Victoria's Secret. I'm sold. Like, literally. Buying now. Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years, what seems like forever ago, and tried every 'seamless' thong under the sun- at the store and otherwise- all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren't that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don't hold sweat. They don't roll. They don't move around. I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I've washed 2x, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They're wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I've ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong about them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they're my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don't exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It's sorcery, I'm convinced." — Ebony Get a set of six from Amazon for $24+ (available in women's sizes XS–4X and 10 color packs). 28. COSRX's Snail Mucin Repairing Essence formulated with a shocking (aaand effective) 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Don't be ~sluggish~ about this stuff, reviewers say it's great for adding hydration and giving your skin a lil' life! Here's what BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: " I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" Get it from Amazon for $18.95. 29. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy. Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action! Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobnty Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and in multipacks). 30. A scrunchie/towel hybrid that can help your hair dry faster without any heat tools! Reviewers love this as a shower-and-go solution when they have to leave the house with wet hair. We love a product that helps us with our busy schedules. Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They sell a wide variety of beauty products and hair accessories for all hair types. Promising review:"I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." — Meghan Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two styles). 31. A pair of foot peel masks with over 50,000 5-star reviews (!!) formulated to soften dry, cracked, and aching feet. These are coated in a paraben-free formula of fruit acids. After putting your feet up and relaxing for 60 minutes, you're done! You can expect your hard skin to start shedding in 6–11 days. Promising review:"Let me start off by saying this mask is absolutely amazing! My friend and I decided to split the pack of booties and have a girl's night in. We are amazed at the results we got from the booties. On day five the magic started to happen. Our feet started to peel and by days 10 and 12 we were both done peeling and our feet were super soft!" — Yaara E. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles). 32. A tattoo aftercare salve that'll make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $16.40+ (available in two styles). 33. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner — this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99! Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $98.59+ (available in three styles). 34. A pack of stain-removing, nontoxic cleaning cups to clean out your Keurig's innards once your coffee starts tasting a little less bold and a little more bleh. Promising review:"I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." — Lauren Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95. 35. A set of microfiber cloths that'll provide a 100% lint- and streak-free finish, because what's the point of cleaning clear surfaces if you're stuck with streaks after all your hard work? Thanks to these, that'll never be the case again. They're great for windows or any glassware, too! Promising review: "I couldn't get my windows clean using cleaning solution, newsprint, and a lot of elbow grease. There were always streaks and dirt left behind. Enter these things. One quick cleaning, and I do mean quick, and my windows are now cleaner than any windows I've ever cleaned. It's simply amazing. We were all standing around in utter shock and delight before running around trying the cloths on other stuff: the TV, the picture glass, etc. I know it sounds corny, but I couldn't wait to get up this morning, because I woke up in the middle of the night excitedly thinking about trying it on the car today. They are truly, truly amazing." — Xena the Warrior Mama Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $15.98. 36. And a *self-cleaning* grooming brush to give your critter some soothing (and oh-so-necessary) personal care. This gadget has bristles that retract so you can sweep away all the pet hair you just brushed right into the trash. Or your knitting you're into crafts. Lots of reviewer pets love being brushed by it too! Promising review: "I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc for my cats. This is, hands-down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They are looking so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages four and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button, and all the hair falls off. The brush itself is bigger than what I anticipated. I thought my cats would be afraid of it, but once they figured out what was happening, they weren't at all. I got the original brush, which I thought would probably feel good (like a good back scratch!) And I was right. They loved it." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $12.34+ (available in two colors).
