We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A L'Oreal *eight-second* lamellar water rinse-out treatment that'll give your hair out-of-this-world shine and softness, and starts working after just one use. Reviewers say it's become a staple in their routines.
2. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover, to possibly prevent those terrible headaches some of us wake up with after we've had glass or two the night before. Just use 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating a whole bottle at once. Swirl it around a bit for 20 seconds and you're good to go!
3. High-waisted leggings that come in so many colors you should honestly just factor one pair a month into your budget until you collect 'em all like some sort of a bootylicious Pokémon trainer. Considering the 37,000+ 5-star reviews these leggings have earned thus far, you certainly won't be alone in your obsession.
4. Smoked bacon chipotle sea salt you can use to seriously step up your seasonings. With the wonderful medley of flavors in this sea salt, your roommates will think you've suddenly become a top-tier spice blender.
5. A pack of ethylene gas-absorbing produce bags that'll make your produce last up to 10 TIMES LONGER... Ya know, for those of us who feel great about ourselves whenever we buy fresh veggies before forgetting to actually eat them. Anyone who's ever had to wipe down rotten spinach juice knows exactly what I'm talking about.
6. A satin pillowcase because, just like your skincare routine, haircare doesn't stop when you go to sleep. These pillowcases will help prevent the frizz and breakage that's usually caused from regular cotton pillowcases — which means your hair could be much healthier in the long run.
7. Some locally made syrup to smother your waffles or pancakes in once they're fresh off the stove. It's from a woman-owned shop based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and made of all-natural lavender flowers and unrefined raw cane sugar.
8. A jar of O'Keeffe's Working Hands Lotion for anyone whose newfound commitment to the gym has also come with an unexpected commitment to calluses and cracked skin. This is also a lifesaver for people who've been washing their hands more than ever since the pandemic started (no judgment — props on the improvement!) and are experiencing more dryness than usual.
9. An anti-dandruff shampoo to save you from having to shell out a co-pay at a dermatologist's office. Whether you have a relatively mild case of dandruff or your scalp and shoulders resemble the Swiss Alps during ski season, this thing will become a staple of your shower routine.
10. Or this bottle of sulfate-free Biotin shampoo infused with tea tree, jojoba, and argan oils to help treat hair loss. This is a potential option for folks whose hair is thinning a bit sooner than expected, or people simply looking to go a few extra rounds with Father Time.
11. A cleanser and polishing powder to restore your tarnished cookware, and once again make your most cherished pots and pans presentable enough to post your cooking photos on Instagram.
12. A cruelty-free vitamin C serum that'll brighten and soften your skin while drastically reducing hyperpigmentation. The 44,000+ people who gave this serum a 5-star review love it so much there should be a fan club for it.
13. A two-pack of stainless-steel tongue cleaners you'll (hopefully) use as often as your other dental products — because daily oral hygiene can include more than just brushing, flossing, and rinsing.
14. A pack of generic melamine sponges that work just as well as the name brand sponges but are a lot cheaper. Think of the money you'll save over the years.
15. A sweet tea candle cleverly poured in a mason jar, inspired by the city of Charlestown, South Carolina. If you're familiar with southern traditions, this fruity and floral scent will remind you of long summer days and afternoons spent on the front porch.
16. A thick clear lip gloss that isn't ridiculously sticky and won't act as a magnet for stray strands of hair — and your lips will look and feel moist AF.
17. A foaming lavender bath to add some spa vibes to your time in the tub.
18. Or this shea butter foaming bath bomb if you'd like to support a vegan, cruelty-free, and Latinx woman-owned small business.
19. A bottle of Fog Gone for mask-wearers who've been struggling with the small yet ridiculously annoying inconvenience of foggy glasses. Now you can continue to protect yourself (and everyone else around you) without obstructing your vision.
20. An Under Armour sports mask that's frankly the most comfortable thing I've put around my mouth and nose since the pandemic started — which makes a huge difference considering how *uncomfortable* exercising can be on its own. Multiple BuzzFeed editors swear by this thing, and some of us even wear it outside of the gym as our everyday mask!
21. A tube of Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Protein treatment for folks with hair that's become damaged due to excessive straightening and dyeing.
22. A 2- to 5- pound bag of Sour Patch Kids that you can either buy in super rare color combos *OR* in a single flavor that you really like (shoutout to all my picky-eating candy snobs!). This is a great thing to stock up on if you live in a household filled with candy-lovers who could go through an entire bag in a week.
23. Glossier's Skin Tint, which is a foundation that has a formula so light and breathable it'll feel like you're hardly wearing anything at all. This is great for people who are looking to cover up a little redness without completely caking their face in product.
24. Some Miracle-Gro plant food spikes for those of us who are finally responsible enough to be plant parents. You've made sure your little green children are hydrated and bathed in sunshine, now it's time to ensure they're also well fed!
25. A Muslin Comfort blanket so you can snuggle up under some temperature controlled fabric for a wonderfully cozy afternoon in bed or on the couch. The smart thing to do would be to buy one for both your bedroom and the living room!
26. An odor-eliminating spray because sometimes it's not enough to use a cleaning product that just removes visible stains — those smells gotta go too! This thing is perfect for pet parents still in the process of potty training their fur babies. Not only does it releases bacteria that feeds on the ammonia left behind after one of your pet's accidents, it also deters them from peeing in the same spot again.
27. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets to clean out all the grossness that's accumulated during the time that you've neglected this chore. Reviewers love how well this thing eliminates foul odors and thick layers of grime — which is great, because how do you expect to pull heavenly scented clothes out of a filthy appliance?
28. And a pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets that'll penetrate, dissolve, and remove the residue in the appliance that's even more likely to stink over time than your washing machine. Just pop these in once a month and you'll be good to go.
29. Some homemade cherry pies from a small business that'd give your mother, grandmother, aunties, and whoever else a run for their money.
