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. Promising review: "As a pro makeup artist, this is an excellent tool to have in my kit. Excellent for removing mascara clumps." — Lady Marina Get it from Amazon for $4.49. 5. 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! They are heavy duty and have a great expensive look without costing a fortune!" — K. LaNou Get the eight-piece set from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four colors). 40. 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. 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 $17.99+ (available in two styles and four colors). 48. 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. 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 $8.50. 50. A TikTok remote control ring so you can scroll through TikToks without touching your phone. You can even "heart" videos with it! Pair this with a neck mount and you can spend hours on your phone without your neck hurting from looking down that long. 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 $19.98+ (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 $14.50.

27 Mother's Day Gifts From Nordstrom You Basically Can't Go Wrong With
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. The crowd-pleasers, the reliable favorites, the classics, the slam dunks have arrived. 1. A Nodpod weighted sleep mask because you'd love to give your mom extra sleep for Mother's Day, which isn't quite this is pretty close. The weighted eye mask targets pressure points to help her relax, while the mask blocks light (and makes it impossible to look at her phone — key for peak relaxation). Nordstrom Read more about acupressure and stress at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I have trouble falling asleep after I wake up (or get woken up) in the middle of the night. I also deal with ambient light issues from my neighbor's security lights. This sleep mask really helps me to rest when I need to. I don't necessarily fall back asleep, but it helps me relax, not toss and turn, and I feel more rested when I get up. It also helps you stay asleep/restful during sunrise as it totally blocks the light. I am not a sleep mask person; I have never used a sleep mask regularly or kept one by my pillow. I almost flipped out last night when I wanted to use it and couldn't find it. It had fallen behind the bed, but I couldn't rest until I retrieved it. I also have dry eye, and I think this indirectly helps with it by preventing me from opening my eyes or being affected by airflow." — inkonapin 2. A subtle freshwater pearl necklace, so your mom can have a simple, sophisticated go-to piece to dress up her work outfits, casual dare I say, date nights. All thanks to you, her incredibly tasteful child. Nordstrom Promising review: "Beautiful and very delicate. I loved." — lureyma 3. A 40-ounce Stanley Cup because even if your mom doesn't know about all the internet hype, she'll love that it keeps her drink cool for up to 11 hours (!) and fits in almost every cup holder. So, she'll be hydrated no matter what her day throws at her. And isn't growing up all about looking out for her needs now? BuzzFeed editor (and mom-of-two) Heather Braga is a fan: " I am fully obsessed with my 40-oz Stanley. Yes, it's ridiculously large, but I only have to fill it up once before bed, and my water lasts the entire day! It also stays cold and, honestly, just looks super cute on my desk. And, yes, toddler refuses to drink out of his own kid-appropriate cups and will complain until I let him drink out of mine 🫠." Promising review:"Okay I had FOMO, and I was just trying to buy it because it was on Nordstrom. I own a Hydro, and lemme tell you, this one kept my water cold for 12 hours (overnight) next to my nightstand. I also bought a straw cover and a cushion for the bottom. 40oz is better than the 30oz! It's big and obnoxious for a reason! Drink your water and be basic!" — Dandan98 4. A Marshall mini wireless speaker so your mom has a compact but impeccable-sounding speaker to blast podcasts while she works out or oldies while she gardens (but, uh, don't call it "oldies" around her; she prefers to think of them as "classics"). Nordstrom 5. A Fishwife Tinned Seafood Co. gift set that includes two best-selling smoked-fish varieties (rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon), plus a scented candle and matches, so your mom can enjoy her fave stinky ocean-based snacks and then destroy all the olfactory evidence. 6. The Always Pan by Our Place in stainless steel with a titanium interior because it is a genuinely shocking 300% harder than standard stainless steel, which means you're not just buying your mom another basically buying her a lifelong kitchen companion. This pan sautes, bakes, fries, steams, roasts, boils, sears, and more — so basically, it can replace almost all of her other cookware. You're helping her Kond,o and you didn't even know it! Nordstrom 7. A Smeg mini electric kettle for the mom whose passion for charming retro design is eclipsed only by her passion for drinking a billion cups of tea daily. This heats up even faster than her old electric kettle and is just so pretty to look at on the counter. Nordstrom 8. A pair of Quay oval sunglasses because your mom is a doesn't she deserve to dress like one? Plus, she'll be tickled pink when you tell her the late '90s are back! Nordstrom Promising review: " I had to have these glasses they matched some of my outfits. They sold out but I checked back and they were in stock and on sale. These glasses are stylish and come in an amazing green color. If you purchase these glasses you won't be disappointed." — seasoned woman 9. A Pat McGrath Labs kit for the mom who would love to try out a new look but doesn't have the time to go to the beauty store and try on a billion shades. Surprise! You've brought the store to her. (Now, if only you offered some kind of rewards club membership program...) Nordstrom 10. A Terra Kaffe smart espresso machine because when you're not around to bring your mom coffee in bed, this is a close second. The Wi-Fi–enabled machine will brew up not just drip coffee, but thousands of custom coffee creations including lattes, macchiatos, and flat whites, all just with a few taps of the app. And honestly, does anyone deserve zero-effort caffeinated treats more than her? Nordstrom BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga is obsessed with this machine: "This machine seems too good to be true, TBH. It has a dedicated heating element just for steam and a precision frothing dial to let you make your foam *exactly* as you like it (and you can use ANY milk with it!). You can create a customized drink menu — the machine will remember how you want your coffee! That's more than I can say for most of the chain coffee shops I've been to. The best part is that you can use ANY coffee you'd like with it. It's a splurge but will definitely be worthwhile and has been saving me money since I've been drinking coffee at home. My husband is a coffee snob who typically handcrafts his own espresso drinks in the morning, but even he was impressed with this machine. It's got his seal of approval and CERTAINLY has mine. We have two kids under the age of 3 and, admittedly, use this machine several times a day." 11. A Hatch Restore 2 that has everything your mom needs to get some seriously sweet dreams going: it's a sound machine, sunrise alarm, and has a wind-down routine that I might particularly recommend if your mom tends to start watching funny videos to wind then accidentally lets it go on for two hours. Nordstrom Promising review:"I was questioning if this was worth it because of the price, but after my first night using it, I was hooked! Not only is it aesthetically-pleasing on my nightstand, but this has completely curved my sleeping habits for the better!" — HanB2 12. A Barefoot Dreams throw blanket for the mom who has spent so much time making sure you feel wrapped in love and least you can do in return is make sure that she gets wrapped in this internet-famous microfiber blanket that's next-level cozy. Nordstrom 13. A deco-style crystal hinge bracelet that's minimalist but also totally unique — aka the exact design attributes your mom raised you to prize. You've learned well! Nordstrom 14. A pair of Hunter tall rain boots so your mom can look sharp (and stay dry) on rainy days. These chic rain boots have a textured sole, so if your mama's life involves walking around in mud (does she live on a ranch? Does she attend Bonnaroo?) she'll definitely be able to get a grip. Nordstrom 15. A leather wallet that's sorta like the Velcro kind you used to buy her for Mother's Day in elementary way, way more stylish. This AllSaints wallet comes in colors like bright red and gold (!) and even has an understated clip to attach it to her bag if she likes. Nordstrom Promising review:"Excellent quality and holds my 5-6 cards and a little cash with no issues. Love the clip so I can put my car keys on it." — MakaylaH 16. A Maison Margiela Replica Lazy Sunday Morning candle, for the mom who absolutely deserves some delicious-smelling Maison Margiela products, and the child who want to give her is relieved that this has a lower price point than the average Maison Margiela product. 17. A Breda bracelet watch with a numberless, mother-of-pearl dial and stainless-steel or gold-plated band that's minimalist without being boring. I hope your mom is practicing saying, "Thanks, my kid bought it for me," because she will be fielding many "That's beautiful, where did you get that?" conversations. Nordstrom 18. A Dyson Super Sonic hair dryer because your mom simply doesn't have the time to futz around with a regular hair dryer. She has all sorts of important stuff to do today (like responding to your deep-thoughts texts about The Pitt). This one works super quickly without damaging hair. Nordstrom Promising review:"To all the ladies reading this: the ones who are on the fence due to the price point, the skeptics of the tool's power, the ones thinking 'but my hair is curly, frizzy, unruly' — this note is for you. I purchased this yesterday and finally mustered up the energy to try it. I have curly, fine yet FRIZZY and DRY hair, coupled with hair extensions to help weigh my curls down and give me the length and volume I couldn't dream of on my own. Normally, my hair takes about an hour to blow dry, and another 30 minutes to get it straight enough to look presentable to the world. I work a ton so I don't have the option to spend so much time on my hair and I avoid it as much as humanly possible. But back to the Dyson Supersonic… HOLY CRAP. It's real. EVERYYYTHING THEY SAID IS TRUE. My hair blow dryed to a spot I wanted it in about 15 minutes. My hairs texture feels like I just had a blowout. The shine I have misplaced for the last several years or feigned with oils is now back. And after using the precision tool (my new forever angel), I used the flyaway tool (HELLO WHO INVENTED THIS?!) and now I don't even NEED to bust out my well-utilized straightener. I've been looking to get my hair health back and now I know that this is it. Minimal heat, perfect shine, fast turnaround. WORTH EVERY PENNY. Happy blow drying!" — SightSoundSteph 19. A Quip rechargeable water flosser for the mom who always told you to floss twice a day and "take care of your teeth, and they'll take care of you." You miiiiiiight not have exactly listened to her advice, but you can honor her passion for healthy teeth with this aesthetically gorgeous water flosser. Plus, unlike other flossers, it doesn't need to be plugged in while she uses it, so she can use it wherever she wants (in the kitchen or on the lawn?) While watching that new Netflix show you told her about? Nordstrom Promising review:"This has good pressure and cleans well. The design is slim and looks good on my counter. I have tried small flossers that don't take up much room and this is the best. It took a few hours to charge and the charge last long." — Lige Price: $69.99 (available in two colors) 20. A slip pure silk pillowcase that won't just help keep your mom's hair from tangling, breaking, or frizzing — it also feels great to lay down on. (And isn't that feeling the whole point of Mother's Day gifts?) Nordstrom Promising review:"So glad I bought this pillowcase. It really works to keep my hair smooth while I sleep. It is also very soft and cozy." — Brentwood Mom Price: $89+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors) 21. A Bearaby knit weighted blanket so your mom can experience never-before-known levels of coziness. This soft cotton blanket is machine washable, so it's exactly like her old knit this one will melt her stress away like a pat of warm buttah. Nordstrom Promising review:"My husband and I have had trouble sleeping lately and have considered weighted blankets since they have been so popular. We have researched the different types and brands, but hesitancy has lingered. I was especially concerned about being too hot. With my husband's birthday approaching, I decided to bite the bullet and give him one. The reviews were great, and I liked how these woven blankets looked and how they were more breathable. It came quite bundled up in its own little blanket corset. We liked it right away and have had the best sleep ever. I normally wake up several times a night but haven't with this blanket so far. We will need a bigger one or at least one for each of us, including our dog. :)" — DivingButterfly Price: $199+ (available in four weights and four colors; not all colors available in all weights) 22. A bottle of Oribe Gold Lust shampoo that doesn't just look and smell great — it softens, hydrates, and smooths blonde hair, giving it a beautiful luster and shine. Does your mom have a new hair stylist? Or just a child who is really, really good at picking out Mother's Day gifts? Only you and she will know for sure. Nordstrom Promising review:"Goodness, this stuff is incredible. I do NOT have the money needed to buy this expensive shampoo, but somehow, I find a way once in a is just that good! This leaves my aging, bleached hair soft and shiny, and I am actually starting to feel like I have Kate Middleton and longer (this shampoo has made it so healthy that it is growing really well) and GLORIOUS. Holy cow, I can't say enough good really is a game-changer! Oribe: I'm obsessed." — AnnieNYC Price: $21+ (available in three sizes and as a bottle or refill) 23. A pickle-making kit for the mom who loves projects (or just really loves pickles). If your mom is more activity-focused and never knows quite what to do with a big, fancy Mother's Day gift, this might just be your top pick(le). Nordstrom Promising review:"I have a friend who is obsessed with pickles (I always give mine to her when we're eating out), and I gifted this to her for her birthday. She absolutely loved it and ended up making a LOT of pickles!!!" — agnesbakes Price: $40 24. A bottle of Le Labo Santal 33 eau de parfum, because if your mom loves trying new perfumes, she'll be over the moon to try this cult favorite. The rustic scent mixes notes of sandalwood, cedar, and cardamom into a delicious, smoky blend that reviewers wish they could "take a bath in." Even if you can't quite buy Mom a bathtub's worth of this stuff (someday!!!), she'll be thrilled with a small bottle to try it out. Nordstrom Promising review:"Not like any fragrance I've ever had. I loved it so much that I had to have the lotion, too. It smells amazing. I always get asked what I'm wearing, and I love that everyone around me isn't wearing the same. It has great staying power. It is not a fruity or floral scent like the typical scent of every person these days. I won't ever change fragrances again. This is it for me!! Worth every penny!" — Cvita511 Price: $107+ (available in three sizes) 25. A mug and warmer set for the mom who spends roughly 9 hours savoring that first (or fifth) cup of coffee every day. The coaster heats to roughly 130 degrees, keeping her drink fresh and toasty for however long she needs it. And when the hot beverage part of her day is over (if it is ever over), the coaster then doubles as a wireless phone or earbud charger. Nordstrom Promising review:"I have tried several self-heating mugs — this one is the best!" — Juicelove Price: $98 26. A Patchology renewing foot mask to revive your mom's dry, achy feet with a mix of shea butter, strawberry oil, and resveratrol. She can wrap her barking dogs in these booties, kick back for 10 minutes, and then reveal some incredibly hydrated toesies. If your mom is constantly rubbing her feet with a big ol' tub of time to show her that there's another way. Nordstrom Promising review:"Works great, should have bought more! Easy to use, feet feel great." — WBBB Price: $10 27. A tub of the world-famous La Mer moisturizing cream, because you've heard all about its legendary hydrating and skin-soothing properties (and so has your mom). So why not treat your mom to some? It's the absolute type of thing she deserves, but would never buy for herself. That's why you're here!! Nordstrom Promising review: "Two years ago I purchased this in order to face the elements of dry mountain air and snow. But coming back to a humid area I found that nothing else worked for my skin as I struggle with thyroid problems. I have sensitive and red skin which is prone to dry spots and breakouts as well as oil. But La Mer is so worth it. Now my skin looks like porcelain! Unlike other creams you only need a small amount, do as the directions suggest and press it into the skin gently. I promise you won't regret using this. Great investment in your beauty and skin health." — Ayanami Price: $100+ (available in five sizes) Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

30 Things That Will Probably Make You Think 'This Is What I've Been Waiting For' As Soon As You Try Them
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 · The wait is over for on-demand cocktails, swamp-free pits, and a way to keep your toddler's wandering hands from touching the seat of that nasty public toilet. 1. A hypoallergenic neck and chest Gold Bond cream so your skincare routine can now include a multitasking moisturizer that's designed to help firm up skin, visibly improving texture and elasticity. Promising review:" Wish I had purchased this sooner. This lotion feels great on my skin, and I am starting to see an improvement on my neck. I will continue to purchase this item." — Patty Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 2. A fold-and-go potty seat if you're hunting for a reusable way to guard against gnarly public restroom germs while providing a secure, nonslip perch for littles to do their business without feeling like they're gonna fall in. BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga can tell you all about it: "We're in the midst of potty training my toddler, and the hardest part has definitely been his need to pee whenever we're out of the house. I ordered this seat, and it's become an essential item in any bag I carry. It folds up nice and small; it's not bulky to toss in a tote bag or the diaper bag. I can whip it out quickly (ideally before he has an accident) and pop it onto any toilet seat. So far, we've used it in the airport, at my parents' house, and in several stores and restaurants. I wipe it down with a disinfectant wipe after we use it and move on to the next chaotic moment of our day." Promising review:"This potty seat cover has been amazing for our toddler during potty training and now after. I am relieved not to have to have him sit on gross toilets when out in public, and it's more comfortable for him without fear of him falling into the toilet. I t's also nice when traveling if you are in a hotel or Airbnb. It folds up so easily and is nice and compact, so you can take it with you anywhere. It is also easy to clean! Highly recommend." — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $10.48. 3. A set of self-heating foot masks to help bring some relief after long shifts or nights out with your deadliest shoes. Just pop on the included booties and enjoy the tingly sensation of Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint. Get a closer look on TikTok! BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has these in her self-care toolkit: "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. 4. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner for not only cleaning but preventing soap scum buildup with minimal effort. Once a week, simply give your shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse, and — BOOM — you're done and didn't even break a sweat. Promising review:"I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach, and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe, but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use, it will get there. Highly recommend this product." — KZ Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 5. A long-handled standing weeder that'll make clearing away those rogue dandelions easier than ever — you don't even need to bend over! Amazon Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small business that's home to a standing weeder design that's been around since 1913. Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy. Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it from Amazon for $44.99. 6. Lumify eye drops because reviewers swear this OTC formula reduces redness in just one minute while fending it off for the next eight hours. Sure, you'd likely pay more for such quick results, but we're more than happy not to! Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 7. An easy-to-use collagen-coating hair mask so it looks like your hair hasn't undergone years of abuse at the hands of bleach and blow-dryers without the pricey salon trip. Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for." Promising review:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was skeptical about this product because I had never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product; it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." — Therese-Claire Get it from Amazon for $8.40. 8. An oh-so-smart Pikk-it tool if shredding your fingers trying to rip the hair out of a clogged vacuum head is not exactly your idea of a good time. The pick end works wonders to untangle knots and can be used to clean out hairbrush bristles, too. Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 9. A pack of space-saving compression bags to help you become a carry-on-only traveler by significantly compressing your clothes — no vacuum required! These are designed for travel, so all you have to do is fill up a bag and roll it out to release air through the built-in valves. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord has had major success with these: "HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews, I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion, I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly, all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and made a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips needed them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny." Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.98. 10. A cruelty-free under-eye brightener for effortlessly concealing dark circles since you haven't gotten enough sleep in *checks watch* about a decade. The color-adapting formula is creamy and lightweight, so you don't have to worry about unwanted creasing and cakiness, either. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 11. A dishwasher-safe storage container with an airtight seal that keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh you can skip your weekly smell test with confidence, since the store-bought "resealable" packaging is sketchy as all heck and not exactly space-efficient. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in three styles). 12. An easy-to-apply fungal nail renewal formula because you've got a toenail (or two, or three) that's thick, discolored, or brittle. Apply this fast-acting formula and you could start seeing visual improvements in as little as two days. I'd start picking out a new pair of sandals — stat! Promising review:"I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." — WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 13. A pack of Sweat Block wipes so you don't have to suffer through perpetually swampy pits and drippy foreheads any longer. First, press a wipe onto clean, dry skin and let it air dry for five minutes before hitting the hay. Wake up, wash the treated areas, and you're in for up to a week of dry skin. Sounds too good to be true? Well, there's only one way to find out... Oh! BTW, this stuff is reaaaally STRONG, so make sure you do a spot test first — especially if you have sensitive skin! Check out this review on TikTok! Promising reviews:"I saw this product on TikTok and I decided to give it a shot since it was only like $20 for 10 wipes (that's 10 weeks, 2.5 months) of no underarm sweat. It worked! I was so happy to finally be able to wear all the shirts I own that are not black! I only apply it every week, and all week long, there is NO sweat under my arms! This is amazing!" — Nes172011 Get 10 wipes from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of 20 and 30). 14. A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess mascara if you're tired of getting excited about mascaras that never live up to their promises. This one is different — or at least according to the 265,000+ 5-star ratings. Promising review: "I tried this mascara for the first time in 2020 after seeing it go viral on TikTok. It was too inexpensive not to try, right?!?! Well, let me just say how upset I was to find out this little inexpensive bottle outperformed EVERY expensive mascara I had ever bought. This is now the only stuff I use!" — Amanda Sims For more info and review pics, check out BuzzFeed Editor Kayla Boyd's full Essence Lash Princess Mascara review! Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown). 15. A shaker of Thin Mint seasoning to bring some nostalgic pizzazz to your morning coffee or home-baked dessert with the unforgettable flavor of a Girl Scout icon. People will LOSE IT over your next brownie batch at the bake sale. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord already gave it a try: "I stared at this for months online before caving and buying it, and when I tell you!! It jazzes up my morning coffee in a way that makes my little '90s baby heart sing. I've also loved it on Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and mug cakes. Plus, when I am longing for a real Thin Mint, and we're not in Girl Scout cookie season, I'll shake this on an Oreo Thin to stave off the despair." Get it from Amazon for $5.06. 16. An easy-to-use denture cleaner tablet you simply plop in warm water with your dentures, mouth guard, retainer, or aligners for a stain-fighting, odor-busting clean that's worth smiling about. Promising review:"I have a TMJ mouth guard that is about 12 years old, and nothing else I've tried had managed to clean it like this stuff. It didn't take everything off the first time, but it makes a HUGE difference. Very satisfied." — Sara E Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $21.81. 17. A budget-friendly SkinSmart facial cleanser spray that reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray for its ability to target redness and bacteria without drying out your skin. It's suitable for all skin types and is ideal for busy bodies who still want to take good care of their skin. Just spray and go — no scrubbing needed! See it in action on TikTok. Promising review:"I rarely write reviews, but I am already in love with whatever sorcery is in this bottle! This was a TikTok-influenced buy, so I was skeptical. When I got the product, I was having a horrible breakout with a HUGE irritated pimple in the crevice of my nose, and after two days of using it before and after work, it's gone! It immediately helped the redness and irritation as well, and I'm blown away! After less than a week, my breakout has almost cleared up completely." — Catherine bunch Get it from Amazon for $17.46. 18. A pack of craft cocktail sachets because all you want at the end of a long day is a tasty little treat you don't have to labor over. These work just like tea bags to infuse water with all the flavorful nuances of a grade-A bevy, whether you pair it with your fave spirits or enjoy it as a mocktail. Promising review: "This is a tasty cocktail! I followed the recipe on the package — 1 satchel, 2 tablespoons of tequila, and 3 ounces of cold water. So easy and delicious. It has the tart, lime taste of a margarita and a very subtle kick. I would absolutely get more of this brand!" — heyshay07 Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in eight flavors and as a variety pack). 19. A mesh screen-cleaning brush so you can actually see through your windows instead of staring into an abyss of years-old slime and dead bug carcasses. Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." — BonjourBeautyByAmy Get it from Amazon for $20.99. 20. A patented ChomChom pet hair remover if Fido's shedding is taking over your home and you're sick of lugging out the vacuum every three seconds. This reusable option uses a bit of pressure, back-and-forth motion, and bristles to catch lint, and reviewers love it for quickly lifting hair from large hairy surfaces like couch cushions and blankets. Promising reviews:" TikTok made me buy this, and it is money well spent!! I'm convinced my beagle sheds a full coat of hair and regrows it daily! I use this on my bed every single day, and it blows my mind how well it works. Before this, I was going through 4–5 disposable sticky rollers a month and spending three times longer to remove dog hair. I am buying these for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts this year! ❤️" — tiff4short Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 21. An ingenious sandwich cutter and sealer to make it possible to create your own copycat Uncrustables at home for a fraction of the price. A set comes with three different shapes, but the filling possibilities are endless! Promising review:"This set is amazing! I did not realize that Uncrustables makers existed, and I am so glad a friend mentioned them to me, and I bought this set! My life has changed for the better. I am saving so much money by making my own Uncrustables! This set is sturdy and works like a charm! Very easy to clean up after as well! Best purchase I've made in a long time!" — Leah Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 22. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can quickly remove years' (I repeat, YEARS') worth of hard calluses without endless scraping and scrubbing. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions. I left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents). 23. A wire slicker brush for reviving your beloved faux fur rugs and throw blankets to their former fluffy glory, since there's approximately zero room in the budget for a suitable replacement. Promising review:"Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to brush each rug thoroughly, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." — Renee Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 24. An after-sex sponge that's like a pit crew for your hoo-ha if you tend to deal with surprise leakages long after sexy time is over. All you need to do is insert the sponge for a few seconds after you've done the deed, toss it, and then enjoy dry undies for the rest of the day. Amazon Awkward Essentials is a small biz! Promising review:" I was extremely skeptical about this product actually working at first. I saw this on TikTok and started reading the comments, which were all positive reviews, so I decided to try. Let me just say I no longer have to awkwardly run to the bathroom after my fiancé and I do the dirty. This product works!" — brittany simmons Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $17.99 (also available in a pack of 20). 25. A Laneige Neo Blurring Powder compact because it pulls off the impossible — eliminating oily shine without sacrificing the lit-from-within glow you and your skincare routine have fought so hard for. Amazon, 26. A box of waterproof medicated pads you apply like bandages to finally force out the wart living rent-free under your skin. Promising review:" I wish I would have found these sooner. Melted off my plantar wart in four days. I've been pained by this thing for over a year, and this got rid of it quickly. I've been recommending it to all my friends!" — Domingo Douglas Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in two styles). 27. A pack of carborundum sponges if your normie sponge is failing to clear away the burnt-on bits your pans like to hold onto for dear life after dinner prep. Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin, modern-looking things). I've tried everything for 4 years to get this stuff off. One day, I thought, 'Maybe I'll try my sponges.' Took it all off super easily!!!! The faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." — Hoarder Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses). 28. A set of UV stickers for the out-of-sight, out-of-mind folks who need a visible reminder that it's time to reapply sunscreen — it'll change from clear to purple. And, yes, it'll stay on through plenty of swimming and sweating. Promising review:"After yet another bad sunburn, even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree, zero-clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen, and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah, where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all, this is one of the best inventions!" — Catherine Shock Get a 16-count from Amazon for $16.49. (also available in packs of 32 and 48). 29. A set of legging organizing hangers that's a major space saver for any fitness and/or loungewear lover with an extensive legging collection who's quickly outgrowing their closet space. Each hanger holds 10 pairs of leggings. Promising review:"Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors and packs of one and four). 30. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because traditional strips are tough to use, expensive, and can leave you with teeth sensitivity that is, in my professional opinion, NO fun. With this pen, you can get quick results. And the best part? No lingering sensitivity.

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. 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. A mod Otherland candle with a 55-hour burn time! It's made from a blend of coconut soy wax and an array of obsession-worthy fragrance choices. Set the mood in your space with a scent that makes your heart sing each time you catch a whiff! My coworker Heather Braga has this to say about Otherland Candles:"I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the USA." Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in five scents). 3. An under-$5 tube of Essence Lash Princess mascara because who wants to deal with wearing falsies when you can get an equally voluminous look with a few swipes?

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. The comb is super lightweight but sturdy, and designed with anti-rust metal, so it's easy to clean and lasts for a long time. It even comes with a protective cover to keep it safe from debris whenever it's not in use! Promising review: "As a pro makeup artist, this is an excellent tool to have in my kit. Excellent for removing mascara clumps." — Lady Marina Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two colors). 5.

You MUST buy these!" — Sata Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and seven colors). 6. A versatile veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer that can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. If you've ever dreamed of having a sous chef while you meal prep, this will do pretty much the same thing and doesn't require hiring someone to do it for you! The chopper comes with a small-dice blade, a large-dice blade, a spiral blade, and a ribbon-blade, which are interchangeable! It even boasts a lid with a built-in chopper and a storage container to hold the prepped food! Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Fullstar is a small business that specializes in unique and functional kitchen gadgets. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in four other styles and five colors). 7. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, which boasts a blend of caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to help *visibly* firm and moisturize skin. Plus, the ah-may-zing creamy scent of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla? Don't be surprised if you receive a telegram from future you in the summer applauding all the TLC you put in! Amazon, Caffeine can brighten skin and temporarily minimize the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking for in a product. 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 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! 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 for when you want to get *super* fancy, I mean, $$$ restaurant-level fancy, with your at-home brunches and whip up some stuffed waffles. 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. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you work from home and need to make sure you show up as "active" or "online" even if you've stepped away for a bathroom break, some fresh air, or even a quick coffee run! You won't need to update your Slack, Teams, or Gchat status every time you get up from your desk with this little gadget. Promising review:"Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.56+ (available in four styles). 15. A tennis bracelet that looks waaaay more expensive than it actually is, but no one has to know you spent less than 20 bucks on your new favorite accessory! The sophisticated sparkle will usher in so many compliments, and some reviewers even say it's similar to a much much pricier Swarovski piece! Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. 🤫 Promising review: "I have a real diamond tennis bracelet. It is set in white gold, and I tend to wear it only on special occasions because it's expensive and it would break my heart to lose it. I really wanted one set in yellow gold but didn't want to spend that kind of money. Plus, I wanted to wear it most days with a stack of others. The quality blew me away! The stones are set perfectly and don't snag on sweaters or other fabrics. It is lightweight on my wrist but doesn't look cheap. I wear it comfortably all day without thought. The size of the stone at 3 mm is just perfect, in my opinion, and doesn't look garish and fake... I have been wearing it pretty much daily and the clasp seems very durable with easy on and off. So far, no tarnishing (but it's not summer yet, so we shall see). This is now my new favorite brand of jewelry for its quality, design, and pricing! I will be adding more pieces to my collection." — A. Hessong Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two styles, three colors, and three sizes). 16. A coffee syrup dispenser set for your coffee bar, so you can enjoy your favorite handcrafted lattes from the comfort of your home. One morning you're going to wake up and dance your way to your at-home coffee bar because you don't have to drive across town for the perfect cup of morning joe! 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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. A 3-in-1 wireless charger to reduce the amount of cords cluttering your nightstand and simultaneously charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods!

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

Stash one in your purse, your car, and your backpack, ASAP! 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 the three-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four scents and assorted sets of 100, 200, and 300). 45.

The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." — tunisianswife Get it from Amazon for $15.84+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 48. A friction- and scratch-resistant LED flat plate, which features three dimming options, so you can stay up late at night to read your latest Romantasy novel without disturbing anyone sleeping beside you. There are bookworms, and then there are sleepyheads... It's battery powered and can last up to 48 hours at minimum brightness or just over 24 hours on medium brightness, so make sure to grab some AAA batteries to get reading! Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two color temperatures). 49.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 $18.98. 18.

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 $12.99 (available in five colors). 19.

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. A milk frother for coffee connoisseurs who have ~bean~ wanting a tool that creates a rich, creamy froth for their daily drinks.

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.

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 $10. 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 $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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
