    29 Products Worth Spending Your Tax Refund On For A Little Treat

    If you think about it, it's extra money anyway. 🤷‍♀️

    1. A bestselling 2-in-1 electric treadmill ready to help you get your steps in from the comfort of your own home. It's a compact treadmill that can slide under your bed or couch to save space. It comes fully assembled so you can get to steppin' straight out of the box.

    With the bar down, you can walk up to 3.8 mph; with the bar up, you can run up to 7.6 mph (!). It has an LED display to track speed, distance, time, and calories and is controlled by a remote control. The treadmill supports up to 265 pounds.

    Promising review: "I chose this treadmill because of the great customer service reviews and the fact that it was easily movable and compact and goes up to a speed to allow jogging/running. It's been fantastic to use while working from home. I was worried about it being hard to type or read while using it, but I usually walk at a speed of 2.4–2.6 mph while actively working — emails, technical editing, plan review, phone calls (haven't tried higher than that) — and have had no issues. I've been walking about 4 to 6 miles at a time. I also have had no issues moving it around myself with the rollers when I need to (I'm 5 feet 4), and it's not heavy at all, maybe just a little awkward to maneuver if you're working with a tight space. I had my mom (5 foot 1 and slight build) try to lift it because she was also interested in purchasing one, and she also had no issues moving it around. My husband (~170 pounds) will walk on it after work while watching TV for a few miles at 3–3.5 mph, but neither of us has tried running on it consistently. We live on the top floor of an apartment complex and have also gotten no complaints about noise issues, but again, haven't run on it yet. As of now, I definitely recommend it!" —Amazon Customer

    2. An Apple AirTag tracker tile so you'll never misplace your belongings again. You can attach this tracker to your keys, wallet, backpack, and anything else that has a knack for ending up in a place you don't remember putting it.

    Promising review: "We have had our vehicles stolen a couple of times from our apartment building. Woke up one day to go to work, and the truck and trailer were gone. Called the cops who couldn’t do much at the time. We hopped in our family vehicle and followed where the AirTag said it was located. After about an hour, we tracked down and recovered all our stuff. We would have never found anything without these." —Kimberly Bishop

    3. A towel warmer to wrap yourself in the cozy warmth of cottony goodness after you emerge from your extra-long shower. You got your tax refund, you can afford to run the water a little longer. Now when you wake up early for work, you don't have to exit into the freezing cold.

    It fits about two towels (or even a towel and a robe or other fabric items) and has a 15-minute adjustable timer.

    Promising review: "I bought one for myself, then bought several others as presents because it's so nice. It's fairly small and easy to find space for even in a small bathroom but is also big enough to hold two large towels at a time. There are a few small things to watch for: occasionally the on button takes a bit of finagling to work; it takes about eight minutes to hit 'maximum' towel warmth; if the lid is askew/not fully on the towel loses a lot of heat; there's a bit of a plastic odor that goes away after the first few uses. But if you're aware of those things, it's super luxurious and worth every penny, having a super-warm towel waiting for you counters all the misery of having to leave the shower in the winter. It also makes a great present, it's the kind of luxury item people don't normally think to get for themselves but makes life so much better. Anybody who says you can't buy happiness obviously hasn't bought a towel warmer." —Heather

    4. A 35-oz insulated tumbler from BrüMate that's leak-proof, has a comfort grip, can keep your drink cold for more than 24 hours and hot for more than six hours, and can fit in your car's cup holder. What more could you want from your everyday hydration companion?

    5. A water bottle crossbody because you want to stay hydrated but you don't want to hold your tumbler all day when you're trying to get in the mix. Here is a minimal crossbody with maximum style and practicality. It has room for all your go-bag essentials — ID, debit and credit cards, lip gloss, scrunchies, hand sanitizer, cash, phone, keys — and is specially designed to hold your water bottle, too. It's a must-have and it comes in an array of fabulous colors.

    6. The forever famous 10-inch ceramic, nonstick Always Pan from Our Place that'll easily become one of your kitchen go-tos. Your other pans will thank you for the break while this one pan does all the heavy lifting. They don't call it the "Always Pan" for nothing.

    Haley: I'm an inexperienced cook, and I've been wanting to improve at cooking and baking, but have honestly found it pretty intimidating. There are so many different pieces of cookware, all used for different things; I didn't even know where to start. The Always Pan is a godsend for folks like me. It can literally go in an oven, so I made banana bread for the first time in it (pictured on the right). It's deep enough to boil pasta, *and* shallow enough to serve as a sauce pan. I'm so excited to steam dumplings in it and use it to make brownies. Plus, the non-stick feature makes cleaning up so easy and quick. This is an amazing, versatile piece and it's absolutely worth the money for me — and it'll probably put the rest of your pots and pans fully out of business. 

    Even more BuzzFeeders LOVE this! Check out our full Always Pan review.

    7. A limited edition luminous lavender pink blush inspired by the colors of the Santa Monica sunset to give you that *kissed by the sun* look. The creamy textured blush is pigmented and buildable thanks to its natural ingredients like green tea and aloe vera extract. It's like you're walking around with pockets of sunshine stuffed in your cheeks.

    Haley: "I feel a little silly saying this, but the moment I first tried this blush on, it immediately became my favorite blush. It's the whole package — beautifully glow-y, pigmented and creamy, yet so buildable that applying it is basically impossible to mess up. But also, this shade!!! A beautiful blend of lavender and pink that looks like it popped out of a sunrise. I wish I could wear it all the time tbh, like including to bed?? And hey, I'm an adult so maybe I just WILL." 

    Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients, and are vegan and cruelty-free.

    Get it from Tower 28 for $20 (available in nine colors). 

    8. A heated eye massager because your eyes work just as hard, if not harder than every other part of your body. It's not easy watching where you're going, cruising over the latest DIYs you found on TikTok, or reading eight chapters of your latest thriller until the wee hours of the morning. Give those peepers a break! This gadget combines heat and gentle massage to soothe your eyes reducing stress, migraines, and eye strain and even improving insomnia. 

    It sports five different massage settings, a 15-minute timer, and Bluetooth capabilities.

    Haley: I bought this two years ago to help with dry eyes and migraines, and it is one of my favorite purchases maybe of all time. It has helped me with my eyes and my headaches, but also with so much more — it helps me relax when I'm stressed or anxious, and puts me to sleep like a baby. I make sure I have this with me if I'm sleeping away from my apartment because I love it so much. It's also easy to clean with an alcohol wipe, or even with face wash. I was initially hesitant to buy this because it seemed a little pricey, but I'm SO happy I did. At this point, I think it's worth way more than I paid for it, if only because I literally don't know what I'd do without it. BTW, it does play automatic music when you begin the massage, but it's easy to turn off if you prefer (I always skip the music).

    Promising review: "LOVE THIS! Ok so I bought this to help with my migraines (it totally helps me) but I use it for so much more. Feeling stressed? Check! Anxiety? Check! I have a son who has some behavioral issues. The first day I got this he wanted to try because I looked cool. Well he put it on and completely went calm. He told me he felt so relaxed. And he said when he was having a hard time calming down that this would be perfect for him to help him calm down. And it has! I would pay ANY amount of money to have him feel calm." —Price

    9. A heart-shaped inflatable pool large enough to fit you and a bestie to enjoy a mini dip when things start to really heat up outside. Added tip: if you have littles, fill it up with balls and create your own ball pit of love.

    10. A sleek Beast countertop blender designed for efficiency without sacrificing style. Its fluted aesthetic and unique shape make it look more like decor than an appliance.

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross says, "I got this blender over the summer, and wow, as someone who had firmly decided I was an 'I don't need a blender' person, I quickly changed my mind after the first use. For starters, it's not as large as those super industrial-strength blenders, and it's so aesthetically pleasing that I have it out on my counter at all times. Plus, it couldn't be easier to use — just fill the bowl with your ingredients, pulse, and in a matter of ~moments~ you'll have a perfectly uniform blend of whatever you're trying to blitz. I first tried it out on a smoothie made with frozen bananas and peaches (see it in action on TikTok here!), and it pulverized the icy fruit like a champ. Best of all? It's a total breeze to clean, which, if I'm being honest, was probably the biggest factor in my having waited so long to add a blender to my kitchen arsenal. I can't recommend it enough, 15/10, no notes." For more deets, check out BuzzFeed's full Beast blender review!

    Promising review: “I love morning smoothies but had stopped making them with my old blender because it would either wake the whole house up or leave my toddler running out of the room yelling that his ears hurt. I read about The Beast and there were tons of comments saying it was significantly quieter than other blenders. I hemmed and hawed for a few months because of the price tag, but in the end, went for it. I'm so impressed — it looks super sleek on the counter and packs a punch as far as power. The drinkable containers look sleek too — people comment on them, and they're all dishwasher safe. So happy with my blender, I can't believe I didn't buy it months ago." —Amazon Customer

    11. A JetKids ride-on suitcase here to make traveling with the kiddos that much easier. If your tiny humans tend to get tired of walking around or cranky from waiting, make it fun by giving them their own luggage that they can ride on. Too bad they don't have these for adults.

    PS: When you get onto your flight, it transforms into a leg rest or an in-flight bed so your kids will be comfy and content while in the air.

    It's recommended for kids ages 3–7 (and up to 77 pounds) and fits most standard economy seats. It has an adjustable strap so you can carry it over your shoulder, a top handle, and a mattress inside that can be removed and used while in the flight. Parents also use this product while in the airport waiting for the flight to keep their kids comfy and happy. 

    Promising review: "So we traveled from JFK to Florida recently and this 'giddy up' (as my daughter called it) made its money just on the walk from long-term parking to Terminal 2. Anyone who's been at JFK's Terminal 2 recently knows the extensive haul that is. The suitcase is easy to pull, easy to maneuver and fit a bunch of snacks, iPad, coloring books, blanket, plushies, and an empty Yeti kids rambler. I plan on buying another for my second child." —Darling Wold

    Get it from Amazon for $221.90+ (available in six colors).

    12. ChomChom pet hair remover to collect the fur that's left all over the house like little piles of buried treasure. Wow, look at that bounty. This little wonder has gained more than 100,000 5-star ratings and requires no sticky papers! After it collects, dump out the hair and you're done!

    Promising review: "I am allergic to cats so here I am with two cats who shed a ton. Their hair is covering all the furniture. I have special pet covers on my bed to protect my comforter but I hate having to sleep under it since my cats sleep on my bed. I have tried so many cat hair remover brushes, gloves, sponges that never worked. I was ready to shave the cats and call it a day. Then along comes the ChomChom brush. It not only has the lint roller but a bar that collects the hair. I love the little hairball container of the roller so I don't have to spend time cleaning off the lint brush. I can't believe this product works! I have an off-white couch and I didn't realize how much hair there was. After I used it, my couch looked lighter in color. I got my comforter cleaned off in minutes. It's a simple and inexpensive way to cure your pet hair woes." —Dondi

    13. A Plufl — as seen on Shark Tank, this human dog bed is ready to give you the best nap of your life. If you've ever glanced over at your pup and thought, "Wow, they're sleeping so peacefully," — now, you can sleep just as well! You may never sleep in your bed again.

    14. A bestselling weighted fitness hoop that'll bring back all the fun nostalgia of your childhood while allowing you to put in your 20 minutes of cardio at the same time.

    The waist is adjustable up to 43 inches.

    Promising review: "Like many folks, I have struggled with finding an exercise that I enjoy and will actually keep doing. It is so easy to do, it is as fun as doing cardio can be, and I have been able to do it on a regular basis. I use it for around 30 minutes, three to five times a week. I am definitely sweating by the time I’m done, but since it’s so easy to do once you get the hang of it, I feel powerful and proud of myself. (I’ve listened to podcasts, watched TV, and even read while hooping with it.) It is fairly noisy but not terrible, so keep that in mind." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in 11 colors). 

    15. A portable inflatable hot tub with air jets made from durable PVC material so you can soak up all the outdoorsy vibes enjoying mother nature without having to drop thousands of dollars.

    It sports 120 air jets, an integrated water filtration system, a control panel, and heats up quickly to a soothing 104 degrees — just imagine this on a clear night with a glass of your favorite chilled drink. Reviewers say about two to three people is the max for the most comfortable fit.

    Check it out in this TikTok!

    Promising review: "I was skeptical about buying an inflatable hot tub, but my sister has wanted one forever. After researching many varieties we ended up purchasing this. I am amazed at how well it works. I have had it for several months now and it is still working perfectly. The lining is thick and sturdy, and supports your back. It is easy to get in and out of. The cushioned bottom is more comfy than I expected. It holds heat well, we like it at 104 and it stays between 102 and 104 while in use in a 40- to 60-degree environment. The bubbles are plentiful and relaxing and strong. I thought set up was quite easy, filters are easy to change and water chemical balance is easy to maintain. Five out of five stars. Get it!" —Kristine

    16. A splurge-worthy Litter Robot your feline companion will cherish as it makes their life and yours so much easier. This high-tech machine ensures your kitty will always have a fresh and clean area to do their business. It cleans your cat's litter so you don't have to and collects the waste in a bag at the bottom.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes owns this and loves it: "When my mom first told me about this $500 automatic litter box she'd read about somewhere, my eyes just about popped out of my head thinking about spending that much on a thing that my cats poop in. But after thinking about it some more, I realized it's actually a pretty reasonable investment since I plan on owning cats forever but shamefully hate cleaning out their litter boxes as often as they really should be.

    "I've been using the Litter Robot myself for over a year now, and I'm pretty sure both me and my two cats are way happier for it. After a cat is done using it, the Litter Robot waits a set amount of time until the cat's presence is no longer detected, then begins to rotate, collecting the waste into a bag at the bottom while retaining the clean litter in the barrel. I usually don't detect a smell from it afterward, though once the bag starts to get really full, you might get a subtle reminder that you need to take it out. I only have to take out that bag about once a week, and a flashing light will let you know when it's full.

    "Initially, the cats were a little spooked by the sound of the Litter Robot during a cycle, and for the first few weeks, they would just sit and stare at it, as if it would get up and run at them if they took their eyes off it. At this point, though, they've completely adjusted and accepted it as their way of life, making my life a heck of a lot easier while ensuring they always have a clean bed of litter. It's a pricey purchase, to be sure, but if cleaning out the litter box daily or even every other day is hard for you and you'd rather not think about it much at all, I say the Litter Robot is worth it. One thing to note: It's quite large, so make sure you have a dedicated space for it."

    Get it from Litter Robot for $549 (available in white or gray).

    Looking for a cheaper option? Here's another self-cleaning cat litter box from Amazon that reviewers like — it's smaller and utilizes disposable trays instead.

    17. A pore-clearing stainless-steel skin spatula that uses high-frequency vibrations to rid your skin of impurities that are hiding out in your pores. Afterward, your skin will be able to absorb your beauty products even better.

    The images above show the skin spatula with all the gunk and sebum removed from the reviewer's skin after use, and the gunk a different reviewer cleaned from their face after wiping their scrubber off on some cotton pads.

    See it in action on TikTok here.

    Haley: I finally caved and bought this during Black Friday, and wow, I am SO glad I did. Blackheads are less of an issue for me than cystic acne, and it worked beautifully for both, and somehow very gently, too. The first time I used it, I could see all the stubborn gunk in my skin being extracted — gunk that was still there despite having just showered and regularly adhering to a pretty strict skincare regimen (!). I use the Blume Nourishing Face Oil to keep my skin moist while using it, which worked well for me (they recommend using a toner, water, or some other moisturizing agent, and after forgetting to once, I agree that it is crucial LOL). Afterwards, my skin felt softer than it's felt in years, and super clean without being at all tight. In short, a great product and definitely a staple for me. 

    Promising review: "Fantastic skin tool! This is amazing! I wish I had this years ago. If you have large pores and blackheads, this will be your friend. You simply get your skin wet with water (I also use a little Cetaphil), turn it on and gently glide it across your skin. You will literally see the stuff come out of your pores onto the device. Extremely gentle, super easy to use! My skin feels amazingly clean after. I follow up with my serums. I highly recommend!" —Penelope

    18. A wireless printer ready to be the new addition to your home office. Outside of printing receipts, invoices, and other literature, you might need for your records, you can also use it to print coloring pages to decompress after a long day. Or, you can print custom cards to mail to your friends and family to surprise them with a thoughtful gesture. 

    Promising review: "It took me about 10 minutes to set it up including unboxing it. The instructions were straightforward, easy to follow and understand. The printer printed my first of many to come documents without any difficulty. I know from experience that this printer is an exceptional piece of equipment and look forward to many years of printing, scanning and copying. I read a review that said this printer doesn’t scan and that is wrong. This printer does everything a home would need INCLUDING scanning. All done from my smartphone which is exactly what I need and want. I would highly recommend this printer to anyone needing an all in one inkjet printer." —Katman

    "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling.

    Promising review: "This coffee maker is my BEST FRIEND! I use this every day, it's so easy to use! My coffee comes out perfect every time. I'm a cold coffee drinker and I put about 8–10 scoops of freshly ground coffee into the filter. I let it sit overnight and the next morning, I remove the filter and dump the grounds. It makes four days' worth of coffee and I love that it's ready to go for me, especially since I wake up at 4:50 a.m. and I need to make my coffee quickly! It's very easy to clean as well." —Panda

    24. An outdoor patio dubbed a ~catio~ to serve as an enclosed playpen for your cat. They'll be able to enjoy fresh air without getting in harm's way. They'll be the envy of all their feline friends while they hang out in the coolest lounge in town. 

    It has a 5.5-foot tall front door for humans to pass through for playing and cleaning.

    Promising reviews: "Our two cats love their catio! I installed it next to a window and modified the screen so they could move in and out when they wanted. They spend hours out there watching birds and enjoying the outdoors. Assembly was simple and the instructions were easy to understand. I did need some minor help from my wife for a few steps but otherwise it was a one-man job. It is sturdy and seems quite weatherproof. Good purchase." —Bart A.

    "My cats love it. They are in it more than inside. Wood is pine and does crack easy, but I expected that. I gave this 5 stars because of the ease of putting it together and because of how much my cats love it. They don't zoom all over the house as much and seem much more content. They even sleep out there in the cubbies. I put carpet and memory foam mats in the cubbies for them to sleep on and stapled the carpet down. Very happy with the product." —Deanie

    Promising review: "I love the ability to be able to quickly jot my notes in a meeting or my quick to-do lists and be engaged with the people who are in the room. This is a perfect fit to be able to write down all of my notes, but then when I get back to my desk to scan it and have an OCR to my OneNote, I'm more engaged in my meetings and I'm still able to digitally track all of my notes and to-do's." —TotalTech

    Get it from Amazon for $29.16 (available in executive and letter sizes, which have 36 and 32 pages respectively, and in 16 colors).

    26. Some dreamy LED cloud lights for an *out of this world* aesthetic. These lights set the ultimate mood for relaxation whether you're watching a movie or taking a nap beneath the faux starlit sky.

    Plus, they're battery-operated so there are no ugly cords you'll need to hide (bless). The clouds have eight light settings (fade, flash, dim, etc.).

    27. An MVP mug warmer you can use with your own coffee mugs to keep your coffee at the optimum temperature for sipping through the day.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has this and loves it: "I finally decided to buy one of these for myself, and based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner. That proved to be true: This thing not only looks good, but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long (because yes, I'm one of those people that'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!). I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for using with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concave-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person."

    Promising reviews: "THIS IS A GAME-CHANGER. I like many people have ended up working from home...every day. A full-time job and a side business keeps me busy and my ADHD makes it so that I bounce from one thing to another. This little device makes sure that whenever I reach for my mug, I'm met with warm tea no matter what! I was VERY skeptical because I have a lot of handmade mugs, but they fit perfectly and stay warm. As others have pointed out, set it to a hotter temp when your mug is fuller, and as you drink, bring the temp down so you're not surprised by how hot it is. I also read a review that it cannot revive cold liquids? I was able to reheat the third of my cold tea with this, so it's possible!! When things open up, I will buy another one for the office." —Ash

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven styles).

    Promising review: "I really like the DB Method. I'm so happy I found it. After reading the reviews and how positive they were, I decided to buy it. Of all the exercise pieces I've purchased over the years, this is my favorite. I have bone-on-bone arthritis in my left knee and I'm still able to use this." —Rhonda B.

    Promising review: "You can never go wrong with extra-long charging cables! My wife and I use these for charging our phones on our nightstands so we can use the phones in bed without over stretching shorter cables. The braided cables are nice and the red connectors add a little pop of color. We’ve had other brands of cables fall apart at the connector in a short amount of time but these seem pretty solid." —Mr. D
