The pack includes three pairs of replacements hooks, and a cute little carry pouch." —Simone

But they fit and my AirPods stay comfortably in my ears. I danced, I ran, I jumped, I talked, and they still stayed in. I love that they come with three pairs so there’s plenty of backups. Great product and a great price!" —Chad Johnson

Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light (but it's not too bright. I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycles). Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —Amazon customer

    Reviewer using a pink handle to lift a bunch of grocery bags of a car

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung

    These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for 4+ hours with each full charge). The earbuds are also sweatproof and waterproof so you can use them during workouts or runs, (even in the shower!), and have a built-in mic so you can chat on the phone.

    Promising review2: "Professional dog walker here. I've had these for a week and I am extremely pleased with this impulse buy. The sound quality is good. Great for the price. I like how you can use either separately if you've synced properly. I didn't read the description very well before I ordered, just reviews, and was surprised they are waterproof, and come with a cordless charging box. The box is awesome, too." —Jimpame2

    "[These earbuds] looked cool, were in my price range, and had received a lot of great reviews so I bought them. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't really read much about them before I purchased them. Just another one of my many impulse buys. LOL! When I received the buds and started reading about them I was floored. They're WATERPROOF! That's great!...The carrying case is very solid and it needs to be because its' also the charger for the ear buds. You DO have to keep the case charged with a USB but when you need the buds charged you simply place them back in the case and whamo. Way cool! I've not had any problems with the buds moving around or falling out of my ears. Just follow their advice on sizing. Also, way cool! But the best feature is THEY SOUND AWESOME! I'm not an expert on stereo or sound equipment but I know what I like and I LOVE these. Buy them! You won't be sorry."  —Trader by the Sea

    Get it from Amazon $29.99 (available in six colors).

    Promising review: "The product was easy to install on a 32" TV. The LED strip consists of attachment ends that allow you to decide how much (or how little) you need. The placement is a little uneven because of my TV wall mount hardware, but THIS IS A GREAT PURCHASE. This adds to the ambiance of my room as well as enhancing movies and shows. Remote is highly responsive to chosen color changes. Grateful for the brightness adjustment and fade setting capabilities." —Jasmine

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in 6.56- and 14.3 ft).

    14. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. It works for everything from bathtubs and stove tops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls.

    Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets, knows, etc. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard-water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.40+ (also available in a packs of two and three). 

    15. A money-saving portable sparkling water maker perfect for die-hard fizz fans who'd much rather have bubbles in their beverage. With this, you'll be able to have sparkling water, juice, and cocktails at home *and* on the go (and won't have to keep buying La Croix in bulk).

    Promising reviews: "Love this bottle/ soda maker. I am obsessed to fizzy drinks and cannot take my bulkier at home maker with me to work or when I travel. This maker allowed me the compact convenience of taking my fizzy drinks everywhere I go. I can control what I put in my body and always get my flavors I love. 10 out of 10 do recommend! —Zeusboomer911

    "This is super fancy with a modern look. Probably one of the fanciest mini soda makers you can get. This product works great. Does the job of making soda water within seconds. I used it a couple of times and am satisfied with the product. We tend to buy bottled plain soda very frequently from supermarkets and this machine will save a lot of money over the long run. I would recommend this product if you are into carbonated water." —LiveWithTech

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in seven colors). 

    16. high ponytail running cap with UPF 50 protection so you can keep the perfect pony and still have the sun protection you need. The convenient design of this hat (two separate openings in back) allows you to have either high or low ponytails/buns, too. Love!

    Promising review: "Love this hat so much! I already ordered another one in a different color for myself and one for a friend! I live in Texas near the Gulf and it’s summer — really humid and really hot. I walk 3–4 miles outside most days and I’d been wishing for a hat that allowed for a high ponytail so I could keep my hair off my neck to not get as hot/sweaty. Decided to Google it and found this and was thrilled! The X straps are easy to adjust and it fits great and is breathable. And it’s super cute!" —mlp06h

    Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29 (available in 24 colors). 

    17. A soft and comfy pair of scrunchie-style Apple Watch bands because the typical straps can feel really constricting and uncomfortable at times. This band won't pinch your wrist or leave you with an irritated red circle of skin!

    Promising review: "These are super comfortable and more breathable than most other bands! I picked this up because a coworker recommended I get them for my new Apple Watch to help with the heat rash and tightness on my wrist and oh my goddddds. This is a blessing." —Victoria Gullick

    Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five colors).

    21. A portable canvas cup holder to carry your iced coffee while you're out and about. If you love iced coffee (or any cold beverage, really), you know the struggle of having your hands full, cold palms, and water dripping on your clothes — this helpful invention solves that!

    Get it from Dreamy Daisyy on Etsy for $16.99+ (available in 10 colors and sold individually or in multipacks).

    BTW, this citrus-scented soap is paraben free, cruelty free, and vegan friendly!

    Promising review: "I will admit I first saw this soap on TikTok and thought that it would be a nice soap to try since I do seem to be washing my hands all the time these days. I was so excited when I received it to give it a try, really just to see the pretty foam flower. I was very pleasantly surprised when I pushed down (twice) to get the foam to come out and not only is the flower cute but the foam is thick and luxurious and makes your hands feel totally moisturized after you wash them. The smell is very pretty and not overpowering at all. My teenager loves it too and is now finally washing her hands more like she is supposed to. I bought them for every bathroom in the house as well as the kitchen. I almost don't want to recommend it so they don't run out of stock!" —Audra Williams

    Get it from Amazon for $20.49 (available in paw print and flower styles).

    23. A heatless hair curler to get bouncy curls without the damage.  On top of being heat-free, the curler is made with mulberry satin that helps prevent tangled hair, too.

    This heatless curler comes as a set, so you'll also get two matching silk scrunchies and a hair clip with purchase!

    Promising review: "I could not be more obsessed with this. I have stick straight hair and I'm a new mom. I love feeling glam but have about seven minutes to get ready every morning. I put these in when I go to sleep at night....They're comfy. and only take two minutes to put in. And when I wake up, I pull them out in 15 seconds, mist with hairspray and I have bouncy curls for the rest of the day... Works better than curlings iron for me!" —nikki liu

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors).

    24. A super-soft Makeup Eraser that wipes off your makeup using *only* water! (Yes, you read that right.) The gentle fabric also has a microfiber blend specifically designed to clear gunk from your pores. If that's not magic, I don't know what is.

    a reviewer holding up the big pink eraser
    Reviewer with half their face made up, and the other half bare after using the eraser

    It's got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and a light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you're done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! No more wasting money on icky washcloths that hurt your skin!!! I can hear your pores singing from here.

    Promising review: "I am amazed by this product. I would even say that this is life-altering! I have not had to buy makeup remover in three months and don't believe I will ever have to again! When I used makeup remover, I felt like I could never get all of my makeup off and I had to rub my eyes quite a bit to get it off. Even after a lot of rubbing when using makeup remover I still would wake up the next morning with makeup residue from the previous day and I never felt I could completely get my makeup off. With makeup eraser, there is not one bit of makeup left!! It is like magic!! Make sure you follow directions, you have to use warm water and use the correct side!" —Sprklbuz

    Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds, which collect dust and grease. Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes. It lets in light, but hides me from nosy people." —Gayle Smith

    Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in 11 sizes).

    26. An adorable set of ice sphere trays that'll make cocktails, soda, or a plain ole cup of water 10 times better to sip. Each tray makes up to 33 pieces of ice spheres at a time, but the included storage bin holds ~way~ more ensuring that you'll always have ice when you need it!

    Each set comes with three ice trays, one large container (which can hold 200 pieces of ice), and mini tongs. 

    Promising reviews: "These are better than expected. The small ball ice cubes look very sophisticated in drinks and are easy to make. It comes with a bin to store your ice in, so you can make more in trays and more importantly, it comes with a mixology booklet that will be handy next time we host a party." —Jonatha P.

    "Our fridge doesn't have an ice maker but I'm obsessed with iced coffee and ice cold water so I found these. I'm slightly obsessed with the cute ice balls and enjoy drinking my water again."  —Stephanie Hatch

    Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say about this blush: "I tried this out myself and I have to say, it is WILD watching it adjust to your skin's pH in real time. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread — a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long lasting, too — I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day." 

    Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer, Youthforia customer

    Get it from Youthforia for $36 or Amazon for $35.99

    Promising review: "This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches, like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it — it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope. Every day my whole living room becomes a party :) Cannot recommend enough." —Phil

    30. A pack of six color drip candles that look like simple white taper candles when brand new, but after they get burnin' color will beautifully drip down! It's an easy way to add some color to your mantel or dinner table. 

    Promising review: "Love these candles! Don't be deterred by the candles out the box, though they are mostly white on the outside there are lots of primary color pockets on the inside. They do take a while to burn (three to four hours by my count) but the results are by far worth being patient for. As the flame works through the candle, the primary color pockets blend with the white as well as with each other to create a wide range of colors... I've seen yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, greens, and blues on my finished bottles." —5ammosh

    Promising review: "This is my first UV-cure gel polish kit and I don’t know why I didn’t buy this sooner! As soon as I received, I immediately tried five of the six included colors and they are gorgeous!! I did have to do two coats of the lightest pink for coverage and cured each coat for 60 seconds per the included instructions. I’m so pleased with everything else included. Goodbye, smudged, regular-polish, lasts-one-day manicures forever!" —AZ mama

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 15 color sets).

    a reviewer wearing the purple polish
    Reviewer holding up small bottle of blue polish with other colors in packaging

    BTW, this polish is water-based which means it doesn't have the dramatically strong scent that nail polish normally has. 

    Promising review: "The set comes in various colors and they are all beautiful. The polish has a big brush that covers the nail easily. The polish is opaque but I did two coats. It didn't stain my nails or has a strong smell. The polish dried up quickly. I cook and clean, so it started to wear off on the fourth day. But I can repaint because of the easy application and fast drying." —perksofbeautyblog

    33. Aaaand a wearable nail polish holder to easily get the perfect at-home manicure. No more risk of spilling polish all over the carpet! 

    P.S. reviewers say it's great for crafters too!

    Tweexy is a small biz based in Sullivans Island, South Carolina. 

    Promising review: "This weird little ring-pop looking contraption is the BEST. Can't tell you how many times I've spilled my nail polish tried to hold it between my knees or balancing it on something while trying to do my nails. I don't need a flat surface anymore, I can sit wherever. I even made my kids come see (they rolled their eyes) but anyone who does their nails will love it. I have various shaped nail polish bottles and so far they have all fit. Best impulse buy this year 💅. If i was making a little nail-polish gift basket for someone I would definitely throw one of these in there." —SWD

    Reviewers also *swear* by these for keeping sand and dirt off the rim at picnics or the beach! 

    Promising review: "Biggest thing since sliced bread. Do you hate it when you when can’t finish your soda or maybe don’t have time? If you're driving somewhere it’s difficult to handle a can drink sometimes, you’re trying to take a sip and all a sudden you hit a pot hole. Soda up your nose, down your chin, on your clothes. It doesn’t have to be that way anymore — with these you can enjoy you soda just like it was in a bottle. I was skeptical at first, but sold as soon as I put it on the can. I use it every day." —Jonesy

    Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

    Get it from Amazon for $10.95+ (also available for cats, brushing teeth, and more).

    36. A rose-gold rechargeable electric lighter that'll ensure you never have worry about running out of lighter fuel again. Isn't that the dream for a candle hoarder — er, I mean candle lover?

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord swears by this lighter!: "It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! It worked like a charm on their stove, which needs to be lit by hand. I use it all all my candles now too. I'm a big weenie about fire (lol, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it."

    Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this on a TikTok. Knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite3012

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in five colors).

    37. A super convenient K-Cup storage drawer for neat storage and easy access to your morning essential. Just pop your Keurig on top to give it the throne it truly deserves.

    Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups.

    Promising review: "I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." —tunisianswife

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in nine styles).

    38. A leak-proof time-marked water bottle if you're the person who ~always~ needs to be reminded to drink water. This is the perfect (and most stylish!) way to stay hydrated. Reviewers say this bottle is super lightweight, sleek, and motivational. Plus, seeing your progress throughout the day is always fun!

    Promising review: "Like so many others, I saw these water bottles all over TikTok but sheesh the price for some of the ones they had were atrocious! So when I saw Arc had one PRETTIER and MORE glam feeling for a cheaper price I had to grab it, being the money wise but impulsive shopper that I am :) LISTENNNNN!! I have a hundred other water bottles, this is by far my favorite!! It’s soooo easy to clean, I KEEP Vaseline on my hands and this has yet to fall (so duh it’s easy to hold), but it has fallen a ton because I’m clumsy and it still looks brand new! The minimalist frosted look with the aesthetic times and gold top! Girl, bye you cannot tell me I’m not a rich b**** when I carry my best friend! I love it so much that my little cousins have all asked me to buy them one!!" —I Am Tonya Maria

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three colors and two sizes).

    Promising review: "I used this spatula to entirely use up a glass jar of foundation. I got four full face applications out of the remainder that wouldn't come out before. It's flexible to reach the corners and long enough to reach the bottom. Since I won't need it for foundation for a while I may use it to more hygienically scoop moisturizer out of a jar instead of using my hands." —J. Fox

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    40. A handheld PureWine Wand, a wine sulfate and tannin remover that helps prevent that annoying wine-headache and any sinus or allergic reactions you may have after drinking. P.S. it helps prevent hangovers, too! Now *that's* what I call a game changer.

    Promising review: "OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine.

    Promising review: "I actually bought this because it looks like our dog. It was a double bonus that it's a great tea infuser. It's easy to use, closes well so no random leaves floating in your tea and it's a fast clean up. I'll definitely be buying a second one.

    🎶 It's me, hi. I'm the impulsive buyer, it's me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn't need) ...I finally did it, and WOW am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt!

    Promising reviews: "I got this for my mom for her birthday and she loves it. Super easy to clean and puts out some serious bubbles without being too loud. The pumice stone is also great and makes it easy to scrub those tougher areas as well as the massaging nodes on the bottom. If you want a warm foot bath just fill it with warm water and it will stay warm. Overall a great little machine and would highly recommend!" —Kim

    "After a long day of hard work, this foot spa is the perfect remedy. It’s is very relaxing and spacious for my feet.

    The actual stand is universal, so it will hold dryers of all sizes and weights.

    Promising review: "I LOVE this hair dryer holder. It used to take me 15–20 minutes to dry my hair in the morning. Now it takes me eight because I don't have to put my arms down to rest them anymore. I placed it high on my bathroom wall and tilted the arm down because I wanted to straighten my wavy hair. My hair was sleek and straight because I brushed it while drying, which was so much easier to do without holding the dryer. I'll tell all my friends about this!" —Jon Wagner

    Get it from Amazon for $34.95.

    48. HyperChiller beverage cooler if you love iced coffee, and iced coffee *only*. This gadget turns hot coffee into iced coffee in 60 seconds (yes, seconds) flat. All you need to do is fill the container with water and keep it in the freezer so it's always ready when needed.

    The dishwasher-safe container can also be used to cool chill tea, juice, wine, or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either.

    Promising reviews: "Wow. Believe the hype. It really works and is easy to use. So much better than just waiting for your coffee to cool or putting it in the freezer. Great item. Had to wait months for it to be in stock." —Mary E. Burnett

    "I saw this on BuzzFeed constantly and finally caved and bought it, and I'm so glad I did. It does what it says it will; it lets you have homemade iced coffee that isn't watered down, very quickly. I typically don't swirl it around, I just leave the coffee in while I do something else for a bit and come back and it's cold enough. It really is super easy to clean, I usually swirl some water in it and pour it out until it runs clean after every use, and take it apart and wash it every once in a while... Overall really good product and totally worth the hype." Emma Scott
