1. A biotin shampoo that's made specifically to moisturize your scalp and promote hair growth! It includes ingredients like keratin, zinc, and (of course) biotin that can work wonders for hair.
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "This shampoo is like NOTHING I've ever tried in the past. The way my 4c hair comes out after using this is INCREDIBLE. Soft, easy to comb, and super manageable. I've been using it for two years!" —Jae
"I have had problems with my hair for YEARS. ALWAYS OILY, ALWAYS looking unkempt. This shampoo has been an absolute miracle for me! I look totally different if I don't use this shampoo so I wash my hair every day with it now, or it gets oily again. I have looked for so long. I have fine straight hair [1a/1b] with a lot of it. I have a lot of deficiencies. Seriously, just try it." —Charlotte
"I am a woman with long 3c curls and coils. I had been through a lot of stress, and it caused hair breakage and thinning... This is a great shampoo for breakage and hair stress thinning. The very first thing I noticed is a pleasant, clean scent, not overpowering, not too medicinal smelling, doesn’t linger to affect your overall scent. The second thing is when you require a lot of conditioning for dry or frizzy hair, you get a lot of buildup, but you don’t want to use a strong shampoo because it will strip your hair of necessary oil and knot up. This cleaned away the buildup but felt so natural and gentle, with no extra knotting, and my hair texture felt so much better...After the first week, I noticed a definite decline in breakage and fallout. The longer you use it, the stronger your hair gets. I’ve finished my first bottle now, and while my longer hair feels better, my roots feel thicker and stronger like when I was a teenager, and it was super healthy." —Kristina
Get it from Amazon for $10.76 (available in two sizes).
2. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers to rid pimples quickly, easily, and in a hurry. Bonus points! They also prevent picking and acne scarring. Simply apply the patch right on top of your pimple in the evening; the rest is history.
I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past, and Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls, which I truly, truly appreciate. For more deets, check out my full Mighty Patch review!
Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of The Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, which has evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strip Mighty Patches, and more!
Promising review: "Must have! Such a great product! I heard about it on TikTok and had to try it. I leave them on when I sleep, and the blemish is smaller and smoother on the surface when I take them off. Obsessed. —Renee K
Get a pack of 36 stickers from Amazon for $10.77.
3. A pack of silicone hooks for your AirPods because these things are too dang valuable to lose (again). They're also a great help if the shape of AirPods doesn't quite fit your ears and you're always readjusting them.
These also work great for wired EarPods!
Promising review: "Do not hesitate to buy these. My AirPod Pros were constantly falling out my ears, and it was so annoying. These anti-slip ear hooks are a lifesaver. Do not hesitate to buy them, because it works. They help my AirPods stay in place, and I don't have to worry about losing them anymore. The pack includes three pairs of replacements hooks and a cute little carry pouch." —Simone
"Finally, something that actually makes my AirPod Pros stay in! I was hesitant to try at first, seeing as they’re made of a silicone material. 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
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15.95 (available for AirPod Pros Gen 1 and Gen 2).
4. And some earbud cleaning putty for when the gunk literally blocks the sound coming out of your earphones. This putty sticks to the dirt and earwax inside and pulls it right out for a brand new clean feeling (and better sound quality).
Promising review: "I never usually write reviews, but this is an exception. I've had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing...Even after using Q-Tips to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there was stuff built up and hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product — it literally took five minutes to clean each earbud effectively, and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, and less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. I really suggest getting this product, and even though they say it comes with 12 squares, you don't need a full square to clean them, so you can pull a piece off or reuse a square with a side you haven't used! SO happy I found a solution!" —Amazon Customer

5. A memory foam orthopedic knee pillow perfect for all the side sleepers battling chronic pain. The benefits of this cushion include reducing back strain, aligning your spine, promoting better circulation, and alleviating pressure on your knees!
ComfiLife is a small business based in San Diego. They're all about pain relief, comfort, and taking care of your body.
Promising review: "Bought this knee pillow on a whim and regret not purchasing it sooner. I suffer from lower back pain due to a herniated disk and only feel comfortable sleeping on my side. Beforehand, only using pillows, I'd find that they were a bit too 'fluffy' and wouldn't hold form, compressing overnight and causing me to wake with lower back pain from time to time. This product has helped tremendously. It doesn't compress very much whilst sleeping, and I find myself waking up feeling more refreshed with little to no lower back pain. 5/5." —Zed R.
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
6. Vacuum seal bags — THEE best answer for space-saving when it comes to bulky clothes like hoodies, sweaters, and jeans. If you're an over-packer like me, this is a must, an essential, and just very very helpful. 😅
Former BuzzFeed writer Jasmin Sandal swears by these bags!:
"I swear by these bad boys not only for general storage purposes but also if I know I'm going to be traveling for an extended period of time. As someone who tends to pack for every eventuality (who doesn't like to be prepared?!), I have learned that it's better to travel with them than without — especially since it's more or less a guarantee that my clothes are gonna take up a ~substantial~ amount of room in my suitcase. And if I can use something that's gonna shrink the size of my bulky hoodies and/or big tees in order for me to create more space, I'm sure as heck gonna do it. Plus, the satisfaction is indeed guaranteed because when you see those chunky layers flatten into a pancake...it's just *chef's kiss*."
Promising review: "I've used these bags before, and they are so helpful. I even use the medium one for travel, and I have tons of extra suitcase room. The clothes don't come out wrinkled at all as long as you fold them nicely before placing in the bag, then the air sucks out, keeping them safe and sound and very compact." —Susie Kochsmeier
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in multiple sizes or a variety pack).
7. A set of memory foam gel pads because they work as support for your wrists, giving them relief from being in the same position eight hours a day. They'll help prevent cramping and wrist pain, which can put a damper on anyone's work or gaming time.
It comes in two pieces — one you can prop in front of your keyboard, and the other in front of your mouse.
Promising reviews: "I've been working from home due to COVID and began experiencing wrist pain. The soft cushion from both items provided the relief I needed. Great products and price!" —Gaga2015
"Having worked from home for almost a year now without any ergonomic cushion, I finally decided to buy this and am so glad I did. They come with stickers that you can place to avoid movement, but so far, they don't seem necessary...The mouse pad cushion feels perfect! I appreciate not having the ball of my palm resting against a hard surface all day long. This also isn't sliding around on the desk. Feels perfect. These cushions have a great memory foam feel but not so much that they are very sensitive to the touch; they mostly keep their shape." —UAstudentn
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in 19 colors).
8. And a gel-enhanced seat cushion to not only help straighten your posture but to make your office chair WAY more comfortable. Hours of sitting won't hurt so bad with this!
ComfiLife is a small business based in San Diego. They're all about pain relief, comfort, and taking care of your body.
Promising reviews: "I've purchased similar items in the past that visually looked like this but were stiff and rigid. This is amazing. Totally eased my back pain from my quarantined-at-home desk job. Highly recommend." —Bellarosa555
"Since I've started working from home (coronavirus quarantine), I really miss my office chair. I saw this reviewed on BuzzFeed and immediately ordered it. Best decision ever. It helps my posture and makes my stiff kitchen chair way more comfortable." —Melissa Schuler
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in three colors).
9. A 2-in-1 satin/microfiber towel pillowcase so you can go to bed with wet hair and not have to worry about ruining your pillow or waking up with a cold, thanks to the super absorbent yet gentle microfiber towel side. The satin side, on the other hand, will help keep your dry hair frizz-free for more wake-up-and-go kind of mornings.
P.S. These covers fit standard-size pillows!
DryZzz is a woman-owned small biz founded by two sisters in Miami, Florida. A portion of their proceeds goes to Sofia’s Hope Inc. to fund pediatric cancer research.
Promising review: "The pillowcase is, hands down, the best I have ever used! I always take night showers and go to bed with wet hair. I've used a towel over my old pillowcases for years, and I always wake up with a damp pillow and a towel on the bed. With this pillowcase, I don't have that problem! The microfiber side absorbs the moisture from my hair, and the other side is a nice soft satin for those nights I don't go to bed with wet hair. I will never go back to a normal pillowcase again! I never write product reviews, but I just had to with this product. It was that good! Basically, BUY THIS PILLOWCASE!!!!" —Kristen Chorney
Get it from Amazon for $35.95 (available in two colors).
10. A pet hair remover that'll make sure your pet's shedding does minimal damage to your sinuses and your furniture. It's like a lint roller without the annoying sticky pads that you have to constantly replace. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's as good as new.
Promising review: "I have allergic reactions to dog hair and dander, so imagine my surprise when we learned our new quarantine pup wasn’t as hypoallergenic as we had thought. Cue a mad dash to buy every product under the sun to keep my allergies in check because, from the moment she came home, we were in love...Then enter the Chom Chom roller, the roller to end the need for any other roller. Gone are the days of stripping and sticking with a disposable lint roller. Gone are the days of dragging that red lint brush paddle over the furniture. And definitely gone are the days of hauling out the vacuum just to zip away the excess dog fur on the couch. If you use it right— and I mean vigorously roll back and forth, up and down, to and from like your life depended on it— the Chom never fails...Truthfully, it picks up more than enough for me to be satisfied." —L. White
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
11. Body Glide anti-chafing balm because chafing isn't fun for anyone — especially when you're out and there's no remedy in sight. Body Glide is small enough to carry around, and it really works! The #1 bestseller has over 16,000 5-star reviews.
Promising review: "I had a terrible summer in Florida this year with the high temps and humidity and started to chafe every time I wore my sports bra (five times a week) so bad. It was painful, and my skin was breaking in places all along my sports bra band. Powder and/or Vaseline did not help. I found this product, and have not had even one episode of chafing once I started using it. It's easy to apply; I just put it anywhere my sports bra band touches, front and back. haven't chafed not one time since I started using it." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
12. 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!
Vis Paradise Goods is a small business based in Miami Beach, Florida. You'll find cute kitchen accessories, apparel, and more.
Promising reviews: "Super cute and made of sturdy canvas material." —Alexandria
"Works great, and it’s super cute! Helps free up a hand when you have a drink, but also have a lot of other stuff, which is exactly why I bought it!" —Hannah Barnes
Get it from Vis Paradise Goods on Etsy for $13.59+ (originally $16.99; available in six colors and 30+ designs).
13. A hairbrush cleaning tool perfectly designed to get every piece of dust, hair, and dander buildup out of those bristles. *Immediately adds to cart*
The pointed end of the tool is ideal for picking out tangles, the stiff bristles work great at removing dust and dirt, and the bristles at the bottom end of the tool can give your hairbrush a deep clean.
Promising review: "When I bought this, I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why, it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off, and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." —HeartsofHavoc
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
14. A miracle-working Migraine Stick that gives you relief from headaches almost instantly. It's made with essential oils like peppermint, spearmint, and lavender that can even help clear your sinuses.
Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins.
Promising reviews: "I have had tension and migraine headaches for around 20 years. I have tried everything. OTC medication, prescription medication, pain injections, chiropractor, etc...This topical oil has given me relief for nearly six weeks now. I have only had two to three headaches in that time, and they were mild. I ordered more already, so I have some in my car and at home, and I bought some for two of my friends who suffer from chronic migraines. I would recommend this product to anyone with migraines. It is phenomenal." —Mary D.
"This stuff is my go-to fix when I feel a migraine coming on. I suffer from sinus headaches and migraines, usually once or twice a week. I put this product on each temple, under my nose, and on my wrists when I feel the pressure starting, and it cuts the pain to a minimum. It seems to stop the worst pain before it has a chance to start. Thank you for a great product! I will buy again and again!" —Brenton1985

Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
15. A portable charger so that your phone is ALWAYS charged, no matter where they are or how long they've been out. It's slim, compact, and comes with a micro USB cable.
Promising review: "I like the solid and sleek construction. Fits easily in my pocket. Most importantly, it works! Fast charging, enough capacity to charge my phone multiple times over multiple days, and withstands plenty of me dropping it and yanking the cord out awkwardly and accidentally." —Joe Hull
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in black and white).
16. A pack of cactus-shaped dryer balls to help your laundry dry faster and with fewer wrinkles. The silicone material makes them reusable, too!
Promising reviews: "I have a small Sears portable dryer. Maybe half the size of a regular one. Any heavy load does not dry completely. ESPECIALLY SHEETS. Put these little guys in, and they lift and separate the batch while it is drying, and everything comes out dry and fluffy. Well worth the money." —Amazon Customer
"Wool makes me itchy, so was looking for plastic or silicone dryer balls. They look cute and work well. Can still hear them in the dryer, but quiet overall compared to the plastic ones. Got a light color as I was nervous about color bleeding if it was poor-quality material, but this seems to be similar to the cooking-/baking-grade silicone items I have. Totally recommend!!" —Nessa Urban
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.99 (available in six colors).
17. An adjustable breast support band that'll limit the amount of ~bounce~ that occurs while exercising. This can help prevent movement-related injuries, improve posture, and prevent pain from sagging.
Promising review: "This actually works! I usually have to wear two high-impact sports bras. This is life-changing, but do try different positions. One reviewer said to put it lower on the back and higher on the front, and this made all the difference for me. Now I can wear one bra and this and get zero bounce even during jumping exercises. This is the best brand. I tried another popular one, and it was useless; not sure why. I am a bra size 34F or G, depending on the brand and S/M in this item was the correct size. Don’t size up. Go by the recommended dress size because you need this to be snug. Highly recommended." —Eireen
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in sizes S–XL and two colors).
18. And a 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 the back) allows you to have either high or low ponytails/buns, too. Love!

Vimhue is an Arizona-based, woman-owned small business that specializes in uniquely engineered running hats.
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 not to 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 21 colors).
19. Miracle-Gro plant food spikes for when your plants are in that struggling stage. They literally feed your plants for you — it doesn't get any easier than that.
Promising review: "Fast-forward to finding these plant sticks on a BuzzFeed article and popping them into the soil, which took...30 seconds...and seeing fresh, green growth within the first couple of days. The plants look better than ever, and the spikes were so easy to use. You can't see them, you can't smell them, they're simple to handle, and nearly foolproof. Very pleased with them." —Amazon Customer
Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $2.99.
20. A scalp massager made to cleanse and exfoliate your scalp. The soft, thick bristles feel SO relaxing and are designed to stimulate blood flow and remove dead skin, dried shampoo, and other unwanted stuff on your scalp.
Promising review: "I’ve had bad dandruff for a while now, think it was brought on by stress. I’ve used both medicated and prescription shampoos, and nothing seemed to provide any more than temporary relief. Read about this in a BuzzFeed article and figured I’d try it. I just scrub regular Selsun Blue in and then scrub it out. Totally works, and I’ve had way less itchiness and flaking, highly recommend." —Scott
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
21. A rechargeable clip-on LED light to brighten your frame for work meetings and provide the perfect lighting for selfies. It has three light modes, is small enough to fit in purses, and — unlike the popular ring lights — it won't leave awkward circles in your eyes when turned on!
Promising review: "This fits perfectly in my small purse. I love that I can use this for my nighttime outings to take great selfies but also for work during my meetings. It has warm lights, white light, and a combination of both. You may also change the intensity of each. It really makes you look great." —Araceli Grande
Get it from Amazon for $31.99.
22. A pack of washable bra liners that'll ensure the always-dreaded under-boob sweat doesn't ruin your day or your outfit. This'll keep you comfortable, dry, and sweat-stain-free.
Promising review: "These are so, so soft. I tuck them under my breasts and then ease my bra on top, and they stay in place all day. At the end of the day, they might be very damp, but my skin is comfy. Also, I'm able to rotate through them, letting them dry in between, and get a good three uses out of each before I wash them. Even then, they don't smell. Hand washing is best, but I've washed them with a mesh bag, and they were mostly ok. Easy to smooth out. I've also worn these without a bra. I needed to adjust them a bit, but I have never lost it. (My bra size is about 38 DDD)." —Leigh B
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four sizes and three colors).
23. Lobe support patches so you don't have to worry about any pain or lobe stretching when wearing your favorite big, heavy earrings. Just attach the patches to the back of your lobe to ~literally~ take the weight off.
Promising review: "These are amazing. They are literal lifesavers. I LOVE my heavy Kendra Scott earrings, but I’m pretty sure they’re the culprit of why my right earring hole has ripped slightly. Using these support patches, it’s as if the earrings don’t even exist. I am going to tell all of my friends to get these for their heavy statement earrings!!" —Donthemom50
Get a box of 60 patches from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A fabric defuzzer to remove all those unwanted fuzzies, lint, and pilling from furniture and clothing. To use this easy tool, simply glide it over the area you want to fix!
This gadget is battery-operated and requires two AA batteries, which you can grab here!
Promising reviews: "This may be the best thing I have ever ordered from Amazon! It works amazingly well and has never failed to de-pill!" —Gloria McEntyre
"Love this defuzzer!!!! I use it on everything. Has settings that are easy to use. So far, it has not failed on me. I would buy it again." —Rose Angelica
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six colors)
25. An odor-eliminating candle because when you're around your pet 24/7, you may not even notice the smell taking over your home (trust me, it's there). This candle will make your home smell deliciously clean with scents like apple cider, fresh citrus, vanilla sandalwood, and TONS more.
Each candle is made with 100% soy wax and can burn for up to 60 hours. Feline parents also swear by this product for eliminating odors around the house!
Promising review: "I have tried so many candles to kill the odors that I 'think' I smell in my home. I have eight cats, and though I know that my house doesn't smell of kitties, I also know that if I 'THINK' it does, I have to do everything possible to make me feel better about any kind of odor. These are the best candles out there, I can't say enough about them. I ordered two and have one in my family room in the basement and one upstairs; my WHOLE HOUSE smells incredible. And you can't smell anything. It also takes away cooking odors so it's not just for pets." —Kim Judy
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly also finds this candle helpful and said:
"Cleo clocks in hours luxuriating on the couch on the reg. So I light this bad boy to make the joint smell nice and eliminate any dog smells. Sure, regular candles help some. But this candle acts fast and I don't have to keep it lit for long, which is safe/good because I'm terribly forgetful. It comes in so many ~regular~ candle smells like Fresh Citrus and Pumpkin Spice — not just the de rigueur odor-neutralizing Clean Laundry or Fresh Air. And in case you're wondering, Mango Peach smells divine."
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in multiple scents and 2-packs).
26. And speaking of pets, a bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator, the fan-fave stain and odor-eliminating spray for those carpet incidents that seem to happen right when you think your pet's in the clear. This spray lifts stains away and removes the odor that comes along with it.
Promising review: "This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world we still can’t come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, and now after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." —clayton s tonkin
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes).
27. Golden cooling eye gels to help rid you of dark circles, puffiness, and all of those annoying "you look so tired" comments thanks to ingredients like collagen and hyaluronic acid. Apply a pair in the mornings, after a long evening, or just when you need a mid-day pick-me-up. They'll feel so hydrating!
Promising reviews: "I struggle from dark circles no matter how much sleep or water I get. So I ordered these and hoped it would work because I'm not a person to wear makeup. I've been using it for two months now, and it INSTANTLY works. I don't use them every day, only when the circles are really dark, and it instantly brightens the area, and I don't look like a tired raccoon anymore. If you're anything like me and struggle with dark circles, ORDER THESE, game-changer." —Riley Wilson
Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
28. A pack of light-dimming LED covers that'll help with those distracting bright and flashy lights on all of the electronics in your home. They work on everything from cable boxes to alarm clocks. You'll have a much better night's sleep and be able to focus on work without looking at that annoying light from the corner of your eye.
Promising review: "I've been looking for something like this forever. I have a hard time falling and staying asleep when there is any bit of light in my bedroom. Especially the lights on phone chargers and my fan. Stumbled across these in a BuzzFeed article and figured, what the heck. They came quickly, and I immediately put them to use. As the instructions state, you do have to use more than one depending on how much light you want to dim. I am not disappointed. Would highly recommend and will buy again." —Kindle Customer
Get them from Amazon for $1.49.
29. 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 stovetops 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 the 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 $3.15 (available in three sizes).
30. A pair of blue-light–blocking glasses to help prevent eye strain and provide protection from the glare of screens (computer screens, phone screens, all the screens)!
Note: Results from wearing blue-light–blocking glasses are mostly placebo effect. According to the Mayo Clinic, while blue-light blocking or filtering products such as blue-light glasses decrease the transmission of ultraviolet light involving wavelengths, there is no significant improvement in vision performance or sleep quality.

WearMe Pro is a family-owned small business based in Temple, Arizona. The brand provides affordable, trendy shades and partners with the Arizona Humane Society to provide supplies for animals in need.
Promising review: "Love these blue light glasses! I usually wear contacts and like the freedom of being able to take these off without going blind throughout the day (my prescription glasses have blue light coating, too but I don’t always want to wear them all day long). The style is so cute (love the tortoiseshell!), and they’re super comfortable. This brand always delivers. Highly recommend!!" —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four colors).
31. A soft and comfy pair of scrunchie-style Apple Watch bands perfect for when the typical straps feel really constricting and uncomfortable. 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
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and in 15 color/style combinations).

Promising review: "This brace works like magic. I purchased it to help with knee pain from cycling, and I just make sure it's on tight and just underneath my patella. I have zero pain or discomfort now. Would definitely recommend. Comes with two braces!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors and three sizes).
33. A laptop cooling pad so you have a solution for when your computer starts to make that over-heating airplane propeller sound (you know the one). It's USB-powered and has three fans that'll keep your laptop cool so you can focus on work instead of reviving your work equipment.
Promising reviews: "This brand is excellent...I decided to try this brand based on reviews and absolutely wasn't disappointed. We've now had them for more than 2 years without fail. We have two 2-fan and one 3-fan running a minimum of 12 hours daily, and all we do is use a vacuum every two to three months, and they're good to go. Their angle is perfect, cooling is above average, and dependability is nothing I ever expected. I can't think of any other brand I would consider at any price. More than two years, and all three are still running great!" —Rantasia
"This works extremely well. My laptop's fans used to scream to the point it would make you scream into your microphone just to talk to your friends on Discord. With this product that diminished, and I don’t have to worry about the fans kicking up that loud ever again...I fully recommend this product just as it was recommended to me by a friend with a similar laptop problem. I honestly don't ever see this product failing to support my demands." —Kaleb Urquhart

34. A reusable Revlon volcanic face roller because it'll absorb shine in seconds *without* messing up your makeup — how awesome is that? Simply roll it over any oily or greasy areas of your face and watch it work its magic.
35. A bottle of Drop It, a wine sulfate and tannin remover that helps prevent that annoying wine headache and any sinus or allergic reactions you may have after drinking.
Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you're good to go.
Promising review: "YOU NEED THIS STUFF! This stuff is almost unreal. It’s a tiny bottle of mercy drops sent down from God him/herself. I had sworn off alcohol the past couple of months because it made me feel terrible the next day. You know the deal...tired, throbbing head, bloated feeling, congestion, the hangover works. I was skeptical about this product but figured I’d try it based on the reviews. I’m so glad I did because this will now be a staple in my life.
For reference, my boyfriend and I split a bottle of Malbec wine (14.2% ABV), put the recommended amount of drops into the bottle, and swirled it around. Typically, we both would have woken up with nasty hangover symptoms, but we oddly woke up feeling refreshed. I did not drink a lot of water with my wine so as to offset the potential hangover, so I know it was all on this little bottle of heaven... It’s flavorless so you don’t notice its addition whatsoever. Excellent product." —Amazon Customer

36. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll make even the toughest of stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. (And yes, that includes red wine stains, don't worry.)
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

37. A jewelry-cleaning pen to have your old diamond ring shining bright again. (RiRi would be proud.)
This cleaning pen has soft bristles for gentle cleaning and is filled with a cleansing and polishing solution that removes dirt and oil and fills in scratches, making jewelry as good as new! All you need to do is twist the bottom of the pen and start brushin'.
Promising review: "Amazing sparkle!💍💎 I am obsessed! I have an heirloom diamond set high in a solitaire band, and it gets dirty quickly. This worked awesomely and cleaned my ring back to a sparkler in 30 seconds! It looks as good as it does when it gets cleaned at the jeweler! I love that it fits in my purse, too! Recommending it to all my friends!" —Shyan
Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in multipacks).
38. A vegan ingrown hair oil so you can treat and prevent those itchy red bumps that may appear after you shave or wax. (And yes, it can be used down there too.)
Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small biz with a special focus on the pubic zone(s). Their result-driven collection of products targets such grievances as ingrown hair prevention, dark spot treatment, and razor burn relief.
BuzzFeed editor Katy Herman uses this to stay smooth after shaving:
"I just recently received a sample of this lovely stuff, which is from an Ottawa-based small business, and I have already seen a difference in how my bikini line looks after shaving! I always struggle with razor bumps in the down-there area specifically, but this oil helps keep it soft, smooth, and bump-free! The brand recommends applying it right after getting out of the shower, and you can even use it to spot-treat ingrown hairs. I'm pretty ~scent~sitive to smells, and the tea tree scent is really lovely and refreshing (it smells like a spa)! I also love the pump-style dispenser, so I don't make a greasy mess every time I use it — which, from now on, is gonna be pretty much all the time. I'm sooo excited to wear swimsuits this summer without all the bumps and irritation!"
Get it from Amazon for $26 or straight from Bushbalm for $26.
39. A cable organizer box that'll hide all those annoying wires and the huge extension cord that's always in the way.
Promising review: "This made a corner with lots of cords much more appealing! We were able to stuff all those cords inside and hide them away! Box is cute too!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three sizes and two colors).
40. 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 trying 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
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 22 colors).
41. A purse organizer insert for all my tote bag peeps who lose everything the second it's tossed in (*cough cough* me). Slide this into any bag for tons of pockets and instant organization. AND it even makes switching bags a breeze.
Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that).
Promising review: "Big purse? You need this. I love a big purse but many of them do not have any form or structure on the inside. I purchased this to see if it would help me not lose everything I own in the abyss of a big bag. So far I am very happy with everything is can hold. I am able to pack the organizer and then pop it in whatever bag I want to carry... I am glad I bought this, and now I do not spend 20 minutes looking for my lip gloss or my phone." —Rivermont0326
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors).
42. A couch cover to protect the furniture that your pets, kids, or (very) messy significant others love lying on. To be fair, where else are they gonna lounge!? This cover will make sure everyone is comfortable and happy.
Promising review: "These are really nice! I wasn't expecting much in the way of quality at this price point but was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. The fabric is really durable, and the construction of the covers is excellent. I bought two of these: the regular-sized couch cover and the oversized chair cover. Both fit perfectly....The fabric on the covers is a microfiber that is very soft while still being tough enough to handle abuse from my four cats. I ordered the green color for my sage green furniture and found the reverse side with the lighter green to be a pretty close match. I haven't used the straps and probably won't. My furniture is made of a micro suede fabric and the covers haven't slipped at all, so there's really no need to strap them down. All in all, very pleased with this purchase. An excellent value!" —Kathy V.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in 11 sizes and 28 colors/patterns).
43. Slow cooker liners that are amazing for quick and easy cleanup! No more need for an intense clean or soaking overnight after every use.
Promising reviews: "I've been using this brand for a while now... I own a KitchenAid slow cooker and this fits well over the ceramic pot. I cook many recopies on high, med, low, and keep warm. I use them all and this bag never fails me...With this liner, the cleanup is zero for the pot and you only need to wash your slow cooker lid. So easy, and it's one of the greatest inventions. I'm new to slow cooking but have used these liners from day one. I would hate to clean a large heavy ceramic pot with food all stuck on the bottom. My worst nightmare. I give this product 5 STARS" —Triple Bogie
Get a box of six liners from Amazon for $3.57+ (available in small or regular sizes and a 48-pack).
44. And some reusable air fryer liners for when today's meal is being made with your dear air fryer. Because these babies are made of silicone, you'll get years of use!
Promising reviews: "I absolutely love these liners. I love the fact that you get three in the package so you don’t have to immediately wash the one you’re using before you reuse it you can just simply use one of the other two; this was a brilliant idea." —Roxanne C
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $10.17+ (available in multiple sizes and two shapes).
45. An air purifier to trap all the pet dander and dust and cleanse the air in your home. If you can avoid worrying about and dealing with allergens while relaxing at home, it should *definitely* be at the top of your to-do list. This makes it easy! Reviewers say it also does a great job getting rid of funky smells, too.
Promising reviews: "This product is amazing. We do cat rescue...so I'll just leave it at that. It immediately changed the smell in our home. No more smell unless it's immediately after someone uses a box. Air just smells cleaner, fresher. We started with one and bought two more!" —M. Otto
"I originally bought this product because of my family's pet allergies. The purifier is compact and extremely quiet (compared to my previous experiences with other purifiers). So far, so good! No one in my home has any pet allergic reactions, and it really helps the smell. This device really helps regulate the air and I basically use this 24/7. The night light comes in handy, and my pup sleeps next to the purifier 75% of the time. I really recommend this product to anyone with allergies, pets, or stuffy houses." —Lien Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in black and white).
46. A door draft stopper that'll keep your home the cozy safe haven that it is. When you have the space heater going while bundled up in a blanket, the last thing you need to worry about is a cold breeze.
PS. it's soundproof too!
Promising review: "So easy to set up! All you do is peel tape and adhere to a CLEAN and DRY door. It also looks great, I don't even notice it. I had a huge gap under my door. I could smell and hear everything from the hallway. Smells, drafts, and sound all are less of an issue now." —Brit B.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).
47. A bag re-sealer so you can securely close the snack bag you didn't finish and keep it fresh until you're ready for more.
This gadget heats up and clamps bags shut with its corrugated hot plates, so you can keep your snacks fresh!
Promising review: "Love this little bag sealer. I have kids, so constantly have open bags of chips that go stale because they are left open on the counter. With this, I can reseal them and keep them fresh. I also do it with my babies' teething snacks so I can stop throwing them away... And it doesn’t get extremely hot, so I can trust my 10-year-old to do it as well." —Katrina
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five colors).
48. A suede and leather brush to get rid of those annoying scuffs and salt lines on your shoes, bags, and coats. No, you don't need to throw out and replace your favorite things with this thing at home!
Promising reviews: "This brush is amazing. My daughter went puddle jumping in her boots [Uggs pictured above]. They dried out while I was trying to figure out how to clean them. Saw the reviews on this and ordered right away. Holy cow, they look almost new. I cleaned all my boots too because I was so excited. Even the ones I thought looked clean were much improved. I washed the brush with dish soap and water and let dry between pairs." —TRW
"This brush saved my shoes! I posted before and after photos so you can see the difference. My shoes were light pink with big noticeable stains on the sides. I just brushed it in the same direction until the stains wore off." —Lissette Castillo
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
49. A blow-dryer holder so that you no longer have to deal with sore or cramping arms when drying your hair. It'll stay in the perfect position, which means waaay less effort from you. Yes, please!
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.
50. A beauty spatula to get every last bit of foundation left in the bottle! It can fit into the crevices no amount of shaking or hitting the bottle will get.
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 $5.99.
51. A set of Sea Bands perfect for those who experience motion sickness, morning sickness, and migraine nausea. The band targets an acupuncture point on your wrists to help reduce the nauseous feeling.
You see that plastic knob sewn into the wristband? That's what exerts pressure and stimulates the P6 (aka the Neiguan) acupressure point to relieve nausea and vomiting. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising review: "I’ve always been kind of sick. I throw up on long car rides, I can’t read in the car, I get horrible migraines 24/7, etc. Recently I changed medications and because of that, my migraines came back with a vengeance. Thinking there was nothing I could do I kind of gave up, until, I was looking at BuzzFeed and saw this in their recommended. I thought it could help with any car sickness that I would get but man I was not giving these enough credit! Since I have bought them I where ALL.THE.TIME. I wear them in and out of the car, to bed, and just around the house. I no longer feel nauseous and my migraines are almost non existent. Whoever invented these are a freaking god! I don’t know think I could ever live without these! BUY THESE!! They're so worth it." —JohnDz
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53.
52. A set of Wad-Free pads which can prevent your sheets from tangling in the wash, catching other clothes, and not actually drying. These will save you from having to run the dryer twice.
Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.
Promising review: "Honestly, I had my doubts! But, BuzzFeed kept showing me this product. And, washing and drying sheets was an annoyance: the sheets would take over the washing machine and get tangled in the dryer, causing EVERYTHING in that load to take forever to dry. No longer. I used these for the first time yesterday and ZERO tangles. The load dried in normal time. AND I get to support a woman-owned business?!?! Perfect." —Michelle Williams
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.
53. An Apple AirTag to keep in your wallet, purse, or attach to your keys so that your morning isn't spent in a frantic while you look for each of 'em. And when you're traveling, toss it in your checked luggage for some extra piece of mind.
To track your item, simply use your Find My iPhone app! The AirTag will even make noise if you select "Play Sound" in the app.
Promising review: "My boyfriend always loses his wallet and he wanted Tile Mate and looked into all these others but most of them had a distance limit. Whereas Apple AirTag is basically unlimited. If lost all it needs is Bluetooth in the surrounding areas to trigger the location. It is only connected to your Apple ID so it wouldn’t connect to anybody else’s phone unless they log into your Apple ID... The battery is included but last about a year or two. Very simple. No cords needed. Very sleek. It also notified his phone when it’s not with him on his phone which is great. Great for all things including luggage, pets, backpack, and kids. Everything trackable. Definitely worth the buy. $30 you can’t beat that for an Apple product...Greatest invention ever." —Mindy Nguyen
