1. An LED neck reading light perfect for anyone who has a later bedtime than their partner and doesn't just want to lie in bed counting sheep. Put this light around your neck and it will illuminate a book in front of you, without disrupting the people asleep around you. Talk about a game-changer!
Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with this light. I use it for reading in bed and when I travel. It's comfortable, has multiple settings, is easy to use, and the battery stays charged for a long time. You can turn on either one or both sides of the light and its flexibility allows the light to be adjusted easily. I highly recommend this light for reading in bed, for outdoor walking at night, and for doing close work that requires good lighting." —Jean G
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).
2. A retro radio tissue holder because who knew that you could transform one of the most boring things in your home into something so precious and cute?!? I sure did not. But now I need to go add this to my cart asap.
Just an FYI — it's compatible with tissues that are in a small cube box or tissues on their own. It doesn't fit a full-size box.
Promising review: "It's adorable! I currently have it filled with tissues from a small cube box. Works great! Perfect addition to my teal and gold bedroom decor!" —Michelle W.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
3. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm that may just become your new go-to because not only will it help hydrate your lips and leave them feeling soft, but you'll also get to enjoy one of the amazing flavors everyone won't stop raving about. Looking @ you Gummy Bear!
Promising review: "I adore this gloss in all flavors. The feel is wonderful. It's not sticky or greasy. The scents are all lovely and it gives the perfect amount of sheen. It's my go-to!" —Marci Jones
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in four scents).
4. A floating pasta timer hilariously named Al Dente who will sing a different melody at different intervals to let you know how done your pasta is. No need to guess if your pasta is ~al dente~ enough for your liking when you're little sous chef will let you know when it's been seven, nine, and 11 minutes.
5. A set of vintage-inspired glass mugs to make your morning cup of coffee or even yogurt parfait feel absolutely regal. The mugs also come with coordinating gold-colored spoons!
Promising review: "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs, these are perfect for me. Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" —Margarita Harutoonian
Get a set of two translucent cups from Amazon for $15.99 (available in seven colors).
6. Maybelline's Cheek Heat gel-cream blush because, yes, you've probably seen everyone raving about Glossier's Cloud Paint, but spending $20 on a tube just isn't always feasible (especially in this economy). This has a water-based formula and will give you a nice touch of color on your cheeks when you apply a dot or two. And nobody will be able to tell the difference.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I'm a Glossier Cloud Paint stan, so I'll continue to buy it, but I love this affordable alternative, too! It spreads on super easily and can either go on sheer or build for a bolder effect. I got the Rose Flush shade and enjoy it for ~everyday wear~ since it's so easy to squirt a bit on my fingers, swirl it into my cheeks, and be on my merry way. It lasts all day and looks super natural to boot!"
Promising review: "This is a great, cheap alternative to Glossier Cloud Paint. It’s less pigmented and blends more easily, so it looks very natural." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in six shades).
7. A dimmable sad duck nightlight that may make you ~quack~ up when you see it, but reviewers confirm it's actually pretty bright and functional. And sometimes you need those kind of products in your life.
8. A Michael Scott dishwasher magnet so you'll never put dirty dishes into a clean dishwasher again. This is especially helpful if you live with roommates or just people who might not remember that you ran the dishwasher last night. But everyone will enjoy seeing Michael's "dirty" face telling them it's totally okay to put their cereal bowls inside.
9. A pair of retro-inspired smiley face slippers that'll be the perfect thing to wake up to and slide on your feet. Your toes will stay comfy warm, and you'll have a smile on your face as big as the ones on your feet. Talk about waking up on the right side of the bed!
Promising review: "If you're in need of a pick-me-up or simply love fun and cozy slippers, I highly recommend the smiley faces slippers. They will undoubtedly add a touch of joy to your daily routine. This purchase was definitely worth it, and I couldn't be more delighted with my choice! —Mark
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and five colors).
10. A sardine trinket tray so you can ~o-fish-ially~ have the coolest home decor without spending thousands of dollars. This is the perfect little thing to place you earrings, hair clips, or keys on.
11. Some Gobbles, which are a set of stretchy and squishy balls that stick to almost any surface (without leaving behind a residue). These are great for anyone who needs a fidget toy to keep their hands busy while studying or working. You can even throw them at the walls and ceilings and see how long they stay up there, as many TikTokers are trying.
Reviewers do mention that these pick up dust and dirt pretty easily, but they can easily be washed with just a little bit of soap and water.
Promising review: "I bought a six pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could — the inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69 (also available in a 16-pack).
12. A mug warmer that regulates the temperature of your coffee or tea so you can nurse your drink for hours without it becoming an ice-cold beverage.
13. A mini emoji pancake pan to ~liven~ up your mornings by adding a bit of fun and humor to breakfast. Do you remember that rule you had growing up about not playing with your food? Go ahead and break it because these are just too cute not to.
Promising review: "Easy eggs and pancakes. This is a family favorite!! We love cooking with this. It makes breakfast quick and cleanup easy." —AmazonCustomer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
14. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks resembling the uber-popular Laneige lip mask. You can either use them all yourself or even split them up between friends so you can all have soft and moisturized lips.
Promising review: "This is the most moisturizing lip treatment in the market. When my lips started getting dry I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it’s soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six combos).
15. A magnetic cloud key holder so you can place your keys on it when you arrive home and know exactly where to find them when it's time to leave again.
Promising review: "This is one of the most useful purchases I've ever made on Amazon. I use it every single day to hang my keys. I've had it for at least half a year now it seems. It hasn't lost any magnetism, and it holds my car keys, remote start, USB, rewards/gift cards, house and work keys, etc. I'm in love. It's one of the best purchases I've made." —Makenah
Get it from Amazon for $7.48.
16. A Java Sok designed with thermal insulation that'll keep your drink colder for longer. That means you can sip on your iced coffee for hours and hours and also won't get all that annoying condensation dripping on you.
Java Sok is a small business that sells an array of reusable neoprene cup holders designed to keep drinks colder and eliminate condensation.
Promising review: "Obsessed! Great stocking stuffers or a gift to yourself! Will be buying more. I’m someone who takes a while to drink their drinks (mom life) so it keeps my drinks from watering down! Love this product! Feels like a coooozy." —Thumbs up
Get it from Amazon for $11.69+ (available in a variety of prints and five sizes).
17. A corduroy cosmetic bag for a ~happy~ place to store any essentials you want to have with you. Reviewers love the size and say it's roomy enough to fit all their makeup, even brushes.
18. A plug-in color-changing mushroom light just perfect for adding a touch of cottagecore to your bedroom. *And* it will light the way when you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
19. A milk frother to transform your boring old coffee into something straight out of a coffee shop. There's no need to invest in the Nespresso Aeroccino when this will ~whip~ up milk even better. Get ready for a frothy and delicious coffee every morning.
Promising reviews: "I was worried it wouldn’t work well, since we got it pretty cheap on sale, but it works so well, better then our Nespresso frother!" —Janelle
"A MUST-have. 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 $16.99+ (available in 21 colors).
20. A heatless curling rod headband great for anyone who wants perfectly curled hair but hates how long it takes to actually get that look with a curling iron. Simply wrap your hair around the headband before you go to bed, and you'll wake up to big curls (sans heat damage)!
The set includes a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. You can use this on all hair types, but reviewers say it works best when used with damp hair!
Promising review: "I don’t tend to buy products like this, let alone leave a review! But I love this product. It's so easy to use! And leaves my hair better than if I were to curl it and with no heat! It saves me so much time in the morning. 15/10" —Grecia
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors).
21. A set of matte lipsticks about to put every other lipstick you've ever tried to shame (just read some of the reviews dragging more expensive brands). This lipstick goes on easy and stays on — even through eating a cupcake *and* a whole night out, as one reviewer confirms.
Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick, and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason, this lipstick is better than even $20 name-brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging, and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three color sets).
22. A pack of glittery highlighters because marking up your textbook doesn't have to be boring, especially if it's 18th century literature. These will add just a bit of ✨sparkle✨.
Promising review: "These bring such joy! These glitter highlighters are the most amazing things ever. We use them at home and at work to add a level of joy to our medical plans. They’re functional and fashionable, and easy to read through." —Ragdoll Harley
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $7.
23. Cuccio cuticle oil that not only works to help to nourish your nails, add some shine, and help with hangnails, brittleness, and breakage, but the bottle is also gorgeous and will act as decor sitting out on your vanity.
Promising review: "My nails were very weak, splitting, and breaking after years of having gel polish on them. So, I had the gel removed and let my nails breathe for about four months. About two months in, I purchased this cuticle oil, and suddenly, my nails not only stopped splitting and cracking, but they actually grew long and strong with no polish on them at all!! I've NEVER had long, natural nails before, so my only conclusion is that this cuticle oil was the reason for the vast improvement in my nail health (no other changes in diet, etc.). I also like how it feels and smells. It goes a long ways, but when I run out, I'll be buying this brand again!" —Susan M.
Get it from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in 12 scents and three sizes).
24. Some popcorn salt about to be your secret for turning microwave popcorn into the delicious creation that attacks your nostrils as soon as you step into a movie theater. With so many movies hitting streaming services now, this is a great way to recreate the theater-going experience without leaving your home.
Promising review: "I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item. My at-home popcorn is now my favorite thing to make, and I don't need to go the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." —S Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $9.60.
25. Essence's Lash Princess mascara to take your lashes to new ~heights~ and make people think you're wearing falsies, when in fact, all you did was swipe on some mascara.
Promising review: "Love, love, love this mascara. I'm blessed with decent long lashes (they are super light blonde) and so mos' mascaras work fine for me, but OMG this one was by far the best. It almost looks like I have false eyelashes. It's thick makes my lashes much longer and my eyes pop and super easy getting it off. I'm in the public eye from time to time, and it's important that my eyes are expressive, so this is great. I've recommended it to many colleagues of mine." —Lois B.
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
26. A pair of light saber chopsticks that actually glow *and* change colors. You can have them work together to pick up your sushi or have an epic battle worthy of being the high point of the next Star Wars movie. The choice is yours.
Promising review: "Ok. I have wanted these for YEARS AND YEARS and finally bought them. WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG?!?!?! I don't eat plain sushi anymore. I eat sushi like a jedi would. Easy to clean and will bring you nerd joy every time you use them." —Hoosieronthemove
Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in two styles).
27. Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein treatment made with soy protein, allantoin, and ceramide 3. It works like a mask to revive your dry hair and give your strands the boost they need after you've used too much heat on them.
It's recommended for use on damaged, over-processed hair of all textures.
Promising review: "Love, love, love! My hair is so dry, and I've tried tons of products. After reading the reviews, I tried leaving it on overnight. It's amazing. I use this product once a week and leave it in at least a couple of hours. I've noticed over the last two months, my hair continues to improve. It looks so much more healthier with less frizz and is smoother than ever before." —Brandy Penn
Get it from Amazon for $8.45.

28. A rose-shaped ice mold so you can create your own fancy cocktail at home without having to pay those fancy bar prices. Reviewers also use this to freeze coffee and juice to add to their morning beverages without watering them down. Genius!
Promising review: "I was at a restaurant and they put one of these roses in my cocktail. I knew right then I had to make these at home and ordered these while at the restaurant. These are easy to fill and have rubber snaps that lock them tight. They come right out and you can even take just one out and leave the others for the next time. These are a hit at all of my dinner parties too! I have already ordered more as my friends all want these in their drinks!" —Siri US
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
29. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream that contains provitamin A and B5, vitamin C Ester, vitamin E, and rosehip oil to help nourish and brighten your under-eyes. One reviewer even says it works just as well as an $80 cream!!!
Promising review: "Moisturizing and hydrating. I've tried a million eye creams, spent a fortune, and then tried this 'entry-level' to see if there really is a reason to spend four times the price. After trying this, I can say this works just as well as the $80 creams! I enjoy that it's in a pump so you're not dipping your fingers in a jar and stays fresher. A little goes a long way. Will buy again." —Collin
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
30. Gold Eye Treatments masks packed with collagen to help reduce under-eye bags and help soften fine lines, while also making you feel as royal as the characters in The Crown. Now if only you had staff to bring you breakfast in bed while you wear these...
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jasmin Sandal says: "I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purple-y, puffy eyes, and...w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my under eyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn't feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day. Now, I find that I integrate these into my routine anytime I want to let my skin breathe free of makeup."

31. A luxury-scented candle capable of making your home feel more luxurious without having to buy one of those pricey, pricey styles. Reviewers love the look *and* smell of this one, calling it "heavenly."
Lulu Candles is a small business offering candles, diffusers, perfumes, and more.
Promising review: "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table, and even though it wasn't lit, I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume, I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent, but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you. The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent. I even bought the shampoo and conditioner which I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream, but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me! When burnt, the candle has a nice strong smell, and it burns really nicely. Even though this is a little expensive, it is worth every penny because I've never smelled anything like it." —Melissa I.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in 34 scents).
32. A simply stunning tennis bracelet so good, it left reviewers shocked at the quality, sparkle, and price. It's perfect for formal events or even everyday wear, and you'll have people thinking you bought a pricey Swarovski one when, in fact, all you did was hit "Add to Cart" on Amazon.
Promising review: "I love this gorgeous tennis bracelet, and I’m loving the price even more! So comfortable and easy to wear. Expensive looking at an incredible price. I love it so much that I bought it in gold and plan on giving one to all my family and friends for birthdays/special occasions! Buy it — you won’t regret it." —Jennifer Sanchez
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three styles, three sizes, and a two-pack).
33. An acrylic book-shaped vase you're ~bound~ to fall in love with as soon as you take it out of the box. It's a fun and unique way to display those flowers you pick up every time you stop at Trader Joe's.
Promising review: "The vase was a beautiful gift! My friend loved it! From color to size to just overall quality, it was perfect! Definitely would be ordering more colors! It’s something that would be perfect in any room or gift for any book lover!" —Brandon
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
34. A Bluapple produce extender that works for three months to keep your produce from wilting when you look away for one second. Now you'll actually be able to enjoy all the fresh produce you bought with your hard-earned money.
OK, I know that's not how it works, but doesn't it feel like that's how it works sometimes??? This absorbs ethylene gas that would otherwise ripen your fruits and vegetables. It's safe to put in the fridge or even in a fruit bowl. Each packet lasts three months.
Promising review: "I’m very happy with this product for a few reasons:
1) They work as advertised — I placed one in my produce shelves in the fridge and my berries have lasted three times as long. A container of blueberries used to go bad within a few days, but my latest purchase lasted 2 weeks.
2) Super easy to use — you just pop the container into the 'apple' and put the top on and you’re ready to go. Took less than a minute for both.
Overall, this product has saved me money and kept produce fresh for so much longer. I wish I had purchased them sooner." —Sammyb07
