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

Steve Madden Howler Chelsea boots sure to complement your spring dresses now that the warmer weather has come around. Promising review:"I'm obsessed with these boots!!!!

You MUST buy these!" — Sata Get them from Amazon for $72.82+ (available in women's sizes 5.5-13, in wide sizes, and 10 colors). 6. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and cleanup!) with speed that feels downright magical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then just throw them right into the dishwasher! Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors and six styles). 7. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream formulated with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil to give your skin a powerful dose of hydration. It'll also wake up and temporarily tighten your skin with the same stuff you use to become awake and alert for the That's right, our skin enjoys the stuff as much as the rest of us. This smells like vanilla and caramel, which means it's basically a latte for your skin. Delicious. Amazon, You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I've tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I've tried. I love the scent. Sol de Jeneiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." — Stephanie Hooper Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes). 8. A cross-hatch tissue holder that's unnecessary, as it is simply placed around the tissue packaging, but it's giving Bottega Veneta, gonna be your next need. Promising review:"This product is exactly what I was hoping for. It's great quality. Looks so chic. Such a nice way to dress up a household necessity. Definitely worth it." — Kaylee Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors). 9. A stuffed waffle maker — this applause-worthy appliance is designed with a deep, bowl-like griddle which allows you to cook the batter with fillings (we're talking chocolate, fruit, cheese, works). Upgrade your morning routine from frozen waffles to a homemade meal that'll look straight off a "best of" brunch menu. Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling Get it from Amazon for $48.50. 10. A portable ping-pong set that'll turn your dining room table into *the* place to hang out (even when there isn't a crumb of food around). My husband and I LOVE ping-pong and we got this set for our Brooklyn apartment. We *literally* play this every day. It's turned our tiny dining room into the perfect WFH break room. Amazon Set includes a retractable net, two paddles, three balls, and case. Promising review:"I got this for my son for Christmas. We don't have a lot of space for a full ping pong table but I have a long dinning table that is perfect. This is easy to assemble and it changes up family game night. Great fun!!" — Heather Gould Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three set sizes). 11. An illuminating moisturizer — if you're looking to add a lightweight alternative to your thick foundation and want an extra *glow*, then you're gonna adore this! Reviewers say it's basically like if Glossier's Futuredew and Drunk Elephant's Bronzing Drops had a brilliant, beautiful skincare baby. Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.27 (available in six shades and two-packs). 12. A muslin blanket that'll look chic in your space and keep you warm during chilly spring days and when the AC is freezing you out come the hot, hot weather. Promising review:"This is the perfect throw for summer nights as it is lightweight. Yet since it is muslin it will adjust to the climate so I'm sure it will be so cozy during the winter time. It's beautiful and so soft and now I don't have to steal my son's blankets! It is so soft, cuddly, and beautiful." — A&E Get it from Amazon for $34.89+ (available in six sizes and 18 colors). 13. A pair of Levi's Ribcage jeans so viral on TikTok (we're talking several generations of adoring fans here) they may have bumped sliced bread down to #2 on the list of greatest things ever. Promising review: "Bought these for both my daughter and me, and they look great on both of us!!! They're extremely comfortable, and they stretch just enough. The quality is exactly what you expect from Levi's. We purchased three pairs in total and plan on purchasing more in other colors." — Lulu Herrera Get them from Amazon for $70.67+ (available in sizes 24–32 Standard and 38–39 Plus and in 15 washes). 14. An undetectable mouse jiggler for anyone working at home who need to stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack. Get this nifty gadget if you'd prefer not explaining to your team that you were M.I.A. so long because the chatty food deliverer wanted to know why you only ordered cream cheese rangoons and a large coffee for lunch. Promising review:"Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles). 15. A timeless tennis bracelet sure to look like you put down some serious $$$ on Swarovski, which can stay our little secret. Promising review: " Soooo pretty. It's 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two styles, three colors, and three sizes). 16. A coffee syrup dispenser set complete with premade flavor labels for turning your kitchen into the intimidatingly chic cafe you, sigh, don't have on your side of suburbia. New England Stories is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about story a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get a set of four from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors and in two- and six-packs). 17. A tattoo aftercare salve to make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $13.04+ (available in two scents). 18. "The Clean Ball" — throw this cat-toy lookin' thing into your purse or backpack, and it's gonna catch all the crumbs and debris that accumulate at the bottom. I sure wish I'd known about this gizmo before going through my homemade granola phase. Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether *Another* promising review:"This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it's ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" — dj3biggs Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors and three-packs). 19. A scrunchie/towel hybrid to help your hair dry faster without any heat tools! Reviewers love this as a shower-and-go solution when they have to leave the house with wet hair. We love a product that helps us with our busy schedules. Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They sell a wide variety of beauty products and hair accessories for all hair types. Promising review:"I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." — Meghan Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in two styles). 20. A milk frother for coffee connoisseurs who have ~bean~ wanting a tool that creates a rich, creamy froth for their daily drinks. Promising review:"All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that is comes with a cute holder for it." — Kayla Dillinger Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in several styles/colors). 21. An adjustable duster brush that'll spruce up your window shades so well you just might notice you actually do have a view through those dust bunnies. Promising review:"This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 22. Kitsch's iconic claw clip, made famous for its impressively strong hold despite such a dainty design (it's suitable for all hair types) and rounded teeth that'll hold your style together all day without damage or breakage. Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review:" Feels expensive. This hair clip works very well and also feels like a very high end item. It's very sturdy and is a great, trendy replacement for plastic claw clips." — Mae Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in silver, gold, and as a pair). 23. A cheese keeper to keep your favorite cheeses, both hard and soft, alive longer by allowing them to breathe. In the words of her highness, Veruca Salt, "Give it to me NOW!" Amazon Cheese is MY bar of chocolate. Promising review:"Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" — Awesome Taste Get it from Amazon for $12.82. 24. A classic pair of slip-on Vans if tying your shoes is extra work only for Monday through Friday. Weekend sneaks should be slip-ons, always. Promising review: " I buy these frequently because I've never had a bad pair. I tend to buy two or three pairs at a time. They are good shoes that wear well and are comfortable. I toss mine in the laundry now and again to keep them clean and fresh. I wear mine for everything — work, play, to restaurants, gardening, and morning walks." — RobertW Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes 3.5–17.5 and in various colors). 25. An avocado pit planter so you can grow your own avocado plant if you don't have a yard but gardening is in your roots. I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great! Promising review:"I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it's some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" — Alysia Get it from Amazon for $16.29. 26. A collection of ombre nesting bowls hue will wanna get in your life stat! These non-slip bowls are dishwasher-safe, freezer-safe, food-safe, and BPA-free. Amazon Promising review:" I like the fact that these bowls are deep rather than wide so they don't take up a lot of shelf space. The colors are beautiful. I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in different set sizes and styles). 27. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass so you can eat pickles to pass the time *without* the juice making a mess. Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick Get it from Amazon for $13.90. 28. A tomato knife that'll make chopping up this pesky piece of produce tomat- oh so easy! Promising review:"I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." — Jane S. Get it from Amazon for $14.75 (available in packs of two and six). 29. A pair of hoop earrings you can add to your outfit if you think every day should be casual Friday. Your boss will certainly think your sweats look chic with accessories like these! Promising review: "OMG I'm obsessed with these earrings. They're so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They're great quality and I usually can't wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch like crazy. This one didn't do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn't do that either. I'm going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." — Ziyana Iyer Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and colors). 30. A charming waterproof shelf liner for impressing your friends with an aesthetic solution that'll keep your shelves from getting gunky. Even opening the fridge is gonna be a delightful surprise at your place. Good on ya. Amazon Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 17 patterns). 31. A bottle of Folex spot remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy. Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $13.30+ (available in various sizes and packs). 32. A pair of lovely silicone trivets with a soft, bendable design — making them great for placing hot dishes down *and* for taking those very dishes out of the oven before your meal. In a world where kitchens are already filled with gadgets and gizmos yourself a tool that does more than its fair share! Amazon These are so darn good lookin' you can just leave them out as coasters the rest of the time! Promising review:"I bought these as a barrier between the cold stone countertops and my morning cup of coffee and they definitely allow my coffee to stay warm longer." — Kelly Get them from Amazon for $11.40+ (available in three colors). 33. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp that's easy peasy to put on *and* makes cleaning your toilet simpler than it's ever been! Mostly because, with this, you won't be the one cleaning your toilet. Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.67. 34. The Pink Stuff All-Purpose Floor Cleaner for folks who know The Pink Stuff could be the *only* stuff. Try out their floor cleaner and forget the days when spills and stains ruled your afternoons. In need of more from The Pink Stuff? Don't forget to stock up on the classic while you're at it! Promising review:"This is just what I wanted. I really like that there isn't a residue left over on my floors. The smell is very simple and clean and now my floors look terrific." — S.A. Milano Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (also available in a two-pack). 35. A water bottle organizer that'll give each and every one of your emotional support water bottles a cozy place to rest. Promising review: " This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I've been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven shelf sizes). 36. A marble-patterned dish drying mat because in your home, even dirty dishes are sure to look lovely. Good on you. You must really intimidate your friends. Nice. Amazon Promising review:"Matched our counters and almost blends in completely. We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." — Shopmindfully Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in several colors/patterns). 37. A pair of YogaToes gemstone stretchers — a splurge-worthy impulse purchase made with hypoallergenic medical-grade gel, for folks who have hammer toe, bunions, plantar fasciitis, etc. Try tossing these in the freezer and treating your feet to a soothing, cooling treatment at the end of the day. Ahhh, I can feel the relief just thinking about that. Promising review:"It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I'm happy and I think I may get some as gifts. They easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $36.95. 38. A CovoBox that's hollow on the inside, so you can cover your Wi-Fi router with elegant "books" instead of leaving it out on display. What a *novel* idea! Amazon Handmade Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood. BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah! Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 39. A pretty stainless steel measuring cup set so every step of your baking process can be pretty as a picture. Amazon Promising review:"These are beautiful! It's a wonderful set!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether *Another* promising review:"This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it's ready to go again.

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

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

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

I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in different set sizes and styles). 27. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass so you can eat pickles to pass the time *without* the juice making a mess. Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick Get it from Amazon for $13.90+ (available in two colors). 28. A tomato knife that'll make chopping up this pesky piece of produce tomat- oh so easy! Promising review:"I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." — Jane S. Get it from Amazon for $14.75. 29. A pair of hoop earrings you can add to your outfit if you think every day should be casual Friday. Your boss will certainly think your sweats look chic with accessories like these! Promising review: "OMG I'm obsessed with these earrings. They're so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They're great quality and I usually can't wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch like crazy. This one didn't do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn't do that either. I'm going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." — Ziyana Iyer Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and colors). 30. A charming waterproof shelf liner for impressing your friends with an aesthetic solution that'll keep your shelves from getting gunky.

Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 20 patterns). 31. A bottle of Folex spot remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy. Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $6.65. 32. A pair of lovely silicone trivets with a soft, bendable design — making them great for placing hot dishes down *and* for taking those very dishes out of the oven before your meal.

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.

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.

A cervical neck "pillow" that'll provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much-needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down. Amazon, After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors). 41. A 3-in-1 wireless charger can help you rid your side table of pesky charging cords. Charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time, and all in the same place! No tangled-up collection of cords needed. Promising review:"I love this charging station! I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in eight colors). 42. An ultra soft faux fur rug sure to feel luxurious every time you get out of bed and have this fancy fuzz between your toes instead of the cold wood floors beneath your feet. Amazon Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors). 43. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) so you can make sure there's soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — woolymammoth Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 13 pack styles/sizes). 44.

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.

I've used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I've tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. ... This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I've used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs.

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 $48.49. 4. An ultra-hydrating overnight collagen sheet mask, which takes getting your beauty sleep to a whole new level. After a few hours, the mask will become transparent once your skin has absorbed all the skin-loving ingredients designed to tighten your pores, hydrate deep below the surface, and deliver a brightened complexion.

Each kit includes 30 nails in 15 sizes, nail glue, a double-sided nail file, a cuticle stick, and an alcohol pad. Nails can be worn for up to two weeks and are reusable and waterproof! Promising review:" I am obsessed with the Glamnetics press-ons. The last salon trip I paid close to $90 for a set that lasted me just shy of two weeks. Glamnetics nails seem to last me on average 7–10 days, and I can get two sets out of one box. I follow the included prep instructions to the letter, and have no issues. I've tried press-ons in the past and found them flimsy, tacky, and prone to breaking or just falling off. Glamnetics feel incredibly similar to acrylic for me. Maybe a bit lighter. But they feel sturdy, no bending. I included a photo of the set, "Caviar." The short almond styles are my favorite. I get more compliments on my nails than I ever have, and the girls are usually surprised when I tell them they're press-ons. The color on the tipped sets do tend to fade off, but it's only a slight bother. Regardless, I love this brand for providing such a cute cost-effective option to make my hands look salon-level pretty." — Ali J. Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 45 styles). 6.

Adore them. 😊 They are a great size too." — Alicia Garcia Get it from Cosmic Drip Creation on Etsy for $16. 7. A bottle of truffle seasoning — something that users swear is worth gate-keeping because it offers the delicious taste at a fraction of the price of those fancy ones at the market. It's so good that you'll end up bragging like, "Truffles? Oh, I put that ish on everything, no biggie." Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord had to say:"*wheezes in truffle* Okay, I bought this on a whim because there's a sushi place down the street from me that makes truffle avocado sushi rolls and I was like, I need these in my life, but I also need money to live. I decided to DIY it with a regular $4 avocado roll and this seasoning and the umami bliss of it all basically exploded my brain. Since then I've tried it on eggs, on burritos, on potatoes, on chocolate mug cakes, pretty much every sweet and savory thing I can think of.

Love them!" — Brooklyn Whitesides Get them from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in women's sizes 4–17 and in 12 colors). 9.

Great fun!!" — Heather Gould Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in three set sizes). 10.

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. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in five styles and four colors — make sure to clip the $5 off coupon to get this price!). 12.

Your mattress and sleep routine deserve an upgrade, and this will make it feel like you're snoozing happily on cloud nine. Promising review: "Whoa, this thing is amazing. I have a very expensive, firm mattress that I bought when I was younger. The mattress is still in good shape, so I didn't want to get rid of it. The firm thing just wasn't working for me anymore. I had a foam mat but it still was too hard. So I got this, put this over the foam mat and it's like a new mattress. I slept like a rock last night. Haven't slept that well in a long time. I also like that it's attached to the mattress pad, so it's not sliding all over. It slept very cool, I'm assuming that's because is cotton. Highly recommend if you're looking to fix a mattress and not have to spend money on a new one." — Julie Get it from Amazon for $76.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king and four colors). 13.

I will only buy premium workout leggings, but have been looking into more affordable tops and stumbled across this one. I really didn't expect to love it as much as I do. The fabric is soft and very thick, the cut is great, and it offers enough support for DD/DDD for casual wear and stretching/mobility sessions." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 14.

It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff 🩷" — Losa "I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin.

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 faux furs keep your backside insulated, and then, topped with the blanket, they are able to have a 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 $15.19+ (available in six sizes and eight colors). 19.

It also features a glare-free screen, so you can read outside without any issues! Promising review:"This is such a great Kindle! It's lightweight, the perfect size for going in a purse or bag, and the matcha is SUCH a great color. I already have a Paperwhite SE that I love, so I decided to get this Kindle for travel purposes. The battery life isn't as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you." — Christine Heath Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in black and matcha, and with or without an ad lock screen). 20.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer uses this product, and here's what she has to say:"I use this lip mask all the time! If I have severely dry lips, I'll reach for my Aquaphor lip repair (also a holy grail), but for everyday use, this mask is great — I even use it in the daytime, too! The shine is pretty enough for Zoom meetings, too!" Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE! I am pretty sure I have postpartum chapped/dry lips because of breastfeeding. I never had this issue of having to deal with chapped lips. I literally tried lip scrubs, balms, Vaseline even, and nothing worked, but I am gonna be honest, the first time I used this product, I literally saw instant results overnight! I know I can be on a little pricy side, but if you want to get your chapped/dry lips taken care of, PLEASE buy this product; it's HANDS-DOWN THE BEST!!!" — Abdullah S.

I need more!" — Briar Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS—XXL, four inseam styles, and 27 colors). 22.

It's whisper quiet and can also be used as a humidifier (without an aroma) and night-light! According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Promising review:"This really is a game changer for my space, it covers a really large area and smells so good. Plus this holds so much water. This is the perfect size to sit on the end table in the family room.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has this and raves: "When I started seeing this new 'It bag' all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it's less than $100!

Promising review:"This Bambüsi Bathtub Tray Table is really good quality and is very flexible on size. Our tub only has a 1/2" lip on one side but this tray rests on it and doesn't move due to the rubber base. It stays securely where you need it, but isn't hard to move. There is plenty of room for a drink, book, phone, washcloth, etc." — Kerri Durham Get it from Amazon for $27.88+ (available in four styles). 25.

Over 15,000 5-star rating customers are happy and satisfied with their homemade sorbet, frozen yogurt, and/or ice cream creations. It comes with replacement lid, a double-insulated freezer bowl, a paddle, instructions, and a recipe book to help get you started. Promising review:"This is my first ice cream maker. I had been looking into getting one for a while and was suckered into getting this one from all of the positive reviews. I'm happy to report that I was not disappointed. The machine is a little noisy, but that's the only drawback that I can really think of. The first ice cream we tried to make was a twist on Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream made from real cherries and dark chocolate chips. The ice cream froze well and was absolutely delicious. Since then we've also made blueberry cheesecake with a graham cracker twist running through it and a chocolate brownie that didn't last two nights! Either way, it makes fantastic ice cream that you can make as you want, and overall it's much cheaper than constantly buying pints of ice cream in the store. Definitely worth the price and I would definitely recommend it." — Krasava M. Get it from Amazon for $79.95. 27.

Promising review: "I have been using the OG Tushy Classic for the past three years. It completely changed my life. No longer was I a slave to the endless and futile cycle of wiping until mostly clean. If the Classic was an evolution, the Spa 3.0 was an ascension. I have now experienced what it means to be a complete and whole human being. The 3.0 brings with it a whole host of new and refined features. The temperature controls are a fundamental game changer and my reason for upgrading. I cannot recommend this product highly enough." — Brady K Get it from Amazon for $139 (available in eight styles). 29.

It's perfect!!!!" — Cody McNeal Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in six colors). 31. A weird U-shaped full-body pillow — but hear me out — this ergonomic pillow offers support to your back, legs, belly, and hips, so you can use it in limited ways to get comfortable as you nap, watch TV, sleep, and more. Promising reviews: " I am not pregnant but I do have back issues. This is great for side sleepers to get some extra support. I no longer wake up with back pain it's great. My only wish is that the short side were actually a bit longer. If I turn in the night I lose the part between my knees and get a little out of alignment, I have to wrap the long side back in from behind me to continue to have it between my knees for my hips and lower back..." — Maryann M. " This pillow is worth the splurge. It holds its shape well— even under a weighted blanket. I'm 19 weeks pregnant and have been waking up in the middle of the night since 16 weeks with round ligament pain, and knew I needed a new pillow situation. I had a body pillow but this is far superior. No more waking up in pain in the middle of the night. Size is perfect for me— at 5'2' and it doesn't move around in the middle of the night even though I do. Has many ways to use it, so it should work however you need to position it. The thickness is perfect imho. I got the cooling cover and that has been excellent for night sweats, I'll sweat wherever I'm not touching the pillow. Great buy, would splurge on it again. Using about a week and half to two weeks now." — Rachel Albers Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 12 colors and two styles). 32.

They are pricey, but I never want to take these off." — Rachel Riggs Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and nine colors). 33.

With six adults in the family, we all had our favorite. I bought six different cocktail mixes (cosmopolitan, whisky sour, sex on the beach, rum breeze, uptown rocks, and Long Island iced tea).
