1. A bottle of COSRX's Snail Mucin Repairing Essence which addresses dullness and dehydration with — yes 😌 — 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! 🐌
Promising review: "I really like the ingredients and the fact that no snails are hurt to make this product because that was my only issue with not buying it sooner. It goes on very smooth and is a quality product for a great value. I heard you should apply it to a damp face and make sure the product is completely dry before using anything on top. I use my light serums first and moisturize after this has is dried down." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.55+ (available in two sizes).
2. A down alternative duvet insert that'll pretty much transform your bedroom into a luxury suite at a 5-star hotel. Literally all you have to do is put it on top of your bed. You're welcome.
Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised with how beautiful, silky, soft and lightweight it was! This was my first duvet insert purchase and if I ever need another one I will purchase this brand. It was really easy to insert and fluffed up the duvet nicely. The price was a great value, too." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and in 11 colors/designs).
3. A ChomChom roller ready to put your regular ol' lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes has to say:
"I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure."
Promising review: "This got up 99% of the stubborn dog hair in my car. You will need to make several passes to get it all. It appears that the cleaning works equally well in both the forward and backward stroke. There are some brushes that can help with the tight corners but of all the tools I have used this is the best. I have tried brushes, lint rollers and tape. If I had only one dog hair tool to use, this would be it. Great value for the money." —Mr.John2You
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors/designs).
4. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows because you haven't replaced yours in ohhh, three or four years? If they have sweat marks and unexplained stains... they're a lost cause, boo.
Promising review: "It’s now been a year and I have to say, these pillows have held up great. I tend to fold my pillows to create a little neck curve which destroys most by now. Not these. I also got some as guest pillows and EVERYONE seems to comment on them positively — often asking for the link so they can get some. I highly recommend and found them to be a GREAT value for the price. For those that say 'I can find cheaper pillows at my discount store or online': I say of course you can, but ask, do you want meh and cheap or great for a really reasonable price?" —renee
Get it from Amazon for $60.99+ (available in two sizes).
5. A Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner capable of sucking up messes of any caliber. Be warned, though: Reviewers say once you start, you won't stop.
Promising review: "This little machine was easy to assemble, maneuvers through small crevices with ease. The volume is reasonable, suction strong and it did a great job cleaning up a white chair and tan rugs. Great value." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
6. A tub of The Pink Stuff which can clean anything you throw at it be that tires, pots and pans, stove tops, showers, or your 5-year-old's crayon wall mural.
Check it out on TikTok here!
And here's what BuzzFeeder/The Pink Stuff fan Heather Braga has to say:
"After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning."
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. It cleans all kinds of things without damaging them. I originally bought it to remove years of accumulated soot off my painted walls caused by my heating units. It did a great job, although I wouldn’t recommend using it repeatedly on painted surfaces. I also use it to clean my vinyl tub, bathroom and kitchen sink and fixtures. I’ll never be without some on hand now. Great value for the money." —BraveElk
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in two sizes).
7. A Korean exfoliating mitt that scrubs away dead skin and leaves you ready for a biggggg night in of applying your fake tanner. And if that's not your thing — no worries — it also helps unclog pores, prevent ingrown hairs, and eliminate bumps caused by keratosis pilaris.
Promising review: "I am a big fan of exfoliation for both face and body and already have a pretty strong loofah and scrub I use regularly, so I was shocked at how much dead skin this glove still got off! It also got rid of the bumps on the back of my arms in just two uses. It’s magical. Also use it on my feet, ankles and heels for exfoliating areas that are too delicate for pumice stone. My skin is so smooth and glowing. It’s such a great value, had no idea this even existed or I would have bought one long ago!" —MelZ
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available individually or as a pair).
8. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper so you can dice up an onion without fear of losing a digit. Sure, I've watched Gordon Ramsay YouTube explainers on how to do it with a knife, but there's a disconnect between my head and my hand, okay??
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "I LOVE this chopper! It makes meal prep so much quicker and easier. Great value. I wish I had bought this sooner." —Matt Kirkland
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors).
9. An $8 tube of Elizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment which — according to reviewers — delivers results just as impressive as another brand that may or may not rhyme with ~PolaFlex.~
Promising review: "If you have fragile hair and need a great deep conditioning mask, this is it!! I’ve been using this product for years, and I won’t use any other. A real game changer. Great value for the money. No need to spend lots of money on high-end products. This is all you need. I’ve been color treating and using heat styling tools on my hair for years. My hair was breaking off at the ends and becoming frizzy. I started using this product and right away noticed a difference in my hair’s texture. I now have fewer split ends. It smooths and protects all in one." —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $7.78+ (available in two sizes).
Former BuzzFeed Editor Bek O' Connell has this and loves it! Check out her full Elizavecca Protein Hair Treatment review for more info.
10. A liquid callus remover to eliminate the hard skin on your hooves (ahem, :::clears throat::: feet) if you're too terrified to face the glorified cheese grater at your local salon.
Promising review: "After only one application, this callus remover has worked miraculously. WOW, after one 5-minute application of callus remover, following the simple instructions, calluses are all but gone. This bottle is at least a 10-year supply for me, based on my initial application. Great, effective product, great value and truly better than salon results. I'd buy again but this bottle will last practically forever!!!" —summer's great auntie
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
11. And/or a foot peeling mask that's SO effective, the before and after photos will both give you nightmares and earn a spot on your vision board.
If foot graters give you the heebie-jeebies (hi, hello, it's me!), try these instead. Just slip on the booties for one hour, wash away the leftover solution, and then wait patiently as it takes 7–14 days before your feet shed like a freakin' iguana. At the end, you'll be left with moisturized, baby-soft tootsies!
Promising review: "This peel is TRULY amazing!!!!! I had mixed feelings, as I looked at different brands. I chose this one, due to the reviews and the fact that there are two pairs!!! Great value for the money! I will definitely be buying again. I soaked my feet for 30 minutes in warm water prior to putting on the booties, and also made sure to soak my feet every night for at least 10 minutes. You definitely need to wear socks and shoes once the peeling starts! Baby soft feet after about 2 weeks, start to finish!!!" —Rebecca Hickson
Get it from Amazon for $12.75.
12. Some sheet fasteners which are basically like suspenders for your mattress, because nothing ruins a morning like having the corner of your fitted sheet pop off as you roll over.
See them on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I downsized from queen to full and wanted to reuse my expensive sheets. These have worked perfectly. I only use two of them on one side (as the bed is against a wall) and still get a nice tight fit on the bottom sheet. Great value, very pleased!" —2FLGirls
Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
13. A bottle of plant-based cuticle oil if your nails have been hurting from recent cold weather. The natural formula hydrates dry skin and strengthens nails so you can work on growing them out, if that's something you've always dreamt of doing!
14. A Wet & Forget weekly cleaner you can spritz on your shower walls and tub after you're done cleaning yourself. Leave it on overnight — no scrubbing necessary — and just wash it off the next time you're in the shower!
Promising review: "I use Wet & Forget as a daily shower cleaner and it is the best product for this purpose that I have ever used. As advertised, I just spray it on and leave it and it keeps my shower sparkling clean. The larger size lasts for a long time between orders and is a great value for the price." —George
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
15. An oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that works just like your go-to oil-blotting sheets but doesn't create any extra waste! Just roll the mattifying stick all over your T-zone (or anywhere else that gets greasy) and it'll soak up excess oil.
And no, the volcanic roller doesn't mess up makeup!
Promising review: "Great addition to any skincare routine, particularly for those with oily skin. It is amazing how good it actually works!! I have combination skin and I get really oily around my T zone, so the roller feature makes it really easy to target that oily area better while avoiding the more dry areas of my face. Works really well for at-home and on-the-go use. It is super portable and small enough to toss into a purse or carry-on, making it perfect for travel or use throughout the day. It's a great value for the price, and the results are noticeable. Do yourself a favor and buy!" —Olivia
Get it from Amazon for $5+ (available in two colors).
16. A fur-eliminating broom capable of squeegeeing enough fur from your carpet that if magically animated — you know, like those brooms in Fantasia — it would transform into a Pekingese.
Promising review: "I have two German shepherds and no matter the vacuum, I can’t keep up with the hair and when I feel like I am then the vacuum breaks. This is amazing. I’ve only used it on one small area rug in the garage (the worst rug we have) and it was AMAZING!! Great value and great product!!" —Capriccia
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six configurations).
17. A hydrating Laneige lip mask that'll keep your lips nice 'n' soft throughout the winter months when they tend to get dry and cracked.
Promising review: "I have been reading reviews about this product for some time and I was a little bit skeptical. No more! This product works great!!! My lips chap very easily, even if I wear lipstick and lipgloss all day long. I have tried so many balms! Some better than others, but none of them worked like this product. Besides, I have been using it now for over a month and the jar is still almost full. It is a very good value, especially since I bought it on sale. I will definitely buy it again. And again. :)" —Miriam B.
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in five flavors).
18. A grooming glove so you can give your pet all the love they desire while covertly brushing away mats and tangles, too. Use it on wet or dry fur (it's great in the bath) and on your feline friends as well.
Promising review: "The cat loves the way it feels. I like that the glove really removes the excess fur. The glove is sturdy, yet it allows me to remain dexterous and scratch behind ears and under chins. This was a curiosity purchase for me, but it is a great value for the price and helps control pet fur while also providing enjoyment for the animal." —William Sharp
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.
19. A pouch of foaming garbage disposal cleaner to eliminate the special stank that can only be produced after years of shredding up meat, produce, and whatever that mystery blob was that came out of your long-lost Tupperware.
Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!), run the water just a bit, and then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long.
Promising review: "Love these. Use them every two weeks. Great value and keeps nasty orders out of my disposal." —Kristie Phillips
Get it from Amazon for $3.83+ (available in packs of 1, 2, 6, and 16).
20. A set of cactus-shaped dryer balls that'll reduce wrinkles, make your clothes softer, and catch all of the pet fur and fuzz that — lint rollers be damned — REFUSES to come off of your black sweaters.
Reviewers say they actually catch (human and pet) hair too!
Promising review: "These cute little waving saguaro cactus dryer balls are perfect. I’ve bought other dryer balls that dried and cracked after a month, these are over three months of heavy use and look as fresh as the day they were delivered on my doorstep. Great value and your clothes will dry faster as well as more efficiently because the saguaros tumble and separate your clothes for more efficiency. 🌵" —Christian B Staller
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors).
21. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess Mascara which gives you a falsies-level look for less than 5 bucks. It seems questionable, I know, but for confirmation you need only to look at the 241,000+ 5-star reviews!!
BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd tried this out and raves:
"As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes without the discomfort."
Promising review: "I have naturally long lashes but the tips are blonde so no one can tell how luscious they are without great mascara! This fits the bill. Great value. Highly recommend." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

22. An Instant Pot that can whip up meals in 20 minutes or less! I've personally made pulled BBQ chicken, teriyaki chicken and rice, and mashed potatoes in one of these with little effort.
Promising review: "I used my last Instant Pot almost every day. It went out after seven years. I bought another one immediately. Use it for cooking rice and dishes. Great value." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $79.95+ (available in three sizes).
Learn more about the Instant Pot in "I Tried The Instant Pot That Everyone's Obsessed With."
23. A pillow-top mattress pad that you can sink into like you're in a slo-mo mattress commercial. Just don't go trying to balance a glass of red wine on it, OK?
The breathable, deep-pocket topper hugs your mattress like a fitted sheet, so you don't have to worry about it popping off in the middle of the night. Plus — major plus — it's machine washable, so you don't have to drag it to the dry cleaners.
Promising review: "This topper is nice and thick and fluffy. It cleans well and has maintained its fluffiness through several washes. I bought a less expensive one from somewhere else for a king size bed and that one is definitely not as nice. I paired this one with a foam mattress topper and together they rejuvenated an older mattress and made it very comfortable. Great value for the price." —Bianca
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and in four colors).
24. Some Bio-Oil which is sure to come in clutch for anyone who spent their teen years picking and prodding at pimples. If you were left with acne scars and skin damage as a result, it'll swoop in and encourage new collagen production and help with elasticity.
Take it from BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord:
"FWIW re: scars, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."
Promising review: "Love this! I’ve been using it at night to help lighten hyperpigmentation from acne, and I’ve definitely noticed my skin looks clearer and more glowy. I have sensitive skin, so I do have to watch this around my eyes as it irritates the delicate skin there, but this doesn’t seem to break me out at all, and it’s such a great value. I apply this at night to freshly cleansed skin then follow with a thing layer of moisturizer to lock it in but you could probably skip the moisturizer, as this is an oil." —Samantha Adams
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
25. An electric lighter that's rechargeable, portable, and windproof! Since it has a flexible neck, it's also much easier to use when their candle gets down to the very bottom.
Promising review: "Super easy to use and effective. Great value, too. Used to light and relight fires in my wood stove. I'm impressed, and no more buying the non-reusable, throwaway click igniters that contain fuel and don't always light until three or four clicks or more. Love it!" —4Easter
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors).
26. An automatic spice grinder so you can top off every dish with a bit of spice and in the most ✨extra✨ fashion imaginable.
BTW — this grinder is battery-operated, so make sure to get a few AA batteries, too!
Promising reviews: "Terrific design, great quality, good value for the price. I like having several spice pods and swapping them in and out while you are cooking is super easy. You just press down and the pod is released. This is my third electric spice grinder and the best so far." —js
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in five colors, comes with grinder and two interchangeable pods).
27. A finishing stick that looks like a lil' mascara wand, but it's actually for the hairs on your head! If flyaways are something that bug you, give your hairline a good swipe and watch them be tamed without a fight.
Or if you have textured hair, a 24-hour edge tamer (but reminder: no one has to lay their edges — it's a personal choice!).
Promising review: "This is the first time I’ve used a product like this. I have to say... where has this been all my life!!!! It definitely changes my hair game. The size of this product is great value for the money. The scent of this product is light and very nice. It’s totally worth the money." —Erin Matto
Get it from Amazon for $6.29+ (available in packs of one or two).
28. A pack of Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads capable of lifting whatever nasty stain your pet left you on your new Persian rug. Whether you're picking up slobber, mud, or an "accident" (let's be real — it was just raining, and they didn't want to go outside), your fingers don't have to get anywhere near the mess — just throw on a house show, toss the pad on top of the stain, and give it a good ol' stomp.
Promising review: "Easy to use and great value! Every pet owner should own these. They are so easy to use, and pull up every kitty stain without fail. It even picks up other dirt that we didn't know was there! No stain has failed to be picked up by these, even the ones that have sat for a few days before we noticed them, and some old stains that were there when we bought our house which didn't even come out with professional carpet cleaning. You need these!" —MKELady
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $26.12.
29. A pack of K-Cup cleaning pods that are basically like a full-body tune-up for your coffee maker. Just look at the nasty stuff it flushes out!
30. An ~instant~ carpet spot remover you can rely on to get your space back in shape after you accidentally trip while holding a whole bowl of queso. (It happens to the best of us.)
Promising review: “My carpet is really old and some of the stairs were too. I sprayed them and I used an old toothbrush to scrub the big stains. Before the spray even dried the stains disappeared! Way better than I expected! Definitely recommend this product! Great value at this price!" —Kristina Lopez
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
31. An as-seen-on-Shark-Tank seat gap filler you can pop in your center console to ensure you never drop another french fry, phone, or credit card into that evil little crevice!!!
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I saw this product on Shark Tank years ago. I am sorry I did not order it way back then! After several times dropping a credit card or cell phone between the seat and the console, and then having difficulty getting it out because my hand does not fit, I finally ordered a pair of these, and problem solved! Great value for the money!" —Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.
32. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles. One layer being regular firm ones, and the other being longer ones that are ten times thinner and mimic floss as they get between your teeth but are gentle on your gums.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
Promising review: "I really like this brush, the thickness and softness of this brush is prefect. They last longer than your average toothbrush which all around is a great value for your money. Each brush lasts about four or more months." —brendan p smith
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.91.
33. A tube of silicone grout whitener if you're dealing with mold and mildew that will. not. go. away. no matter how much you clean it.
The gel formula is safe to use on/around windows, sinks and baths, shower-heads, pools, tiles, silicone sealant, and more. Leave it on the area you're looking to clean for six to eight hours (no scrubbing required). Some reviewers with really bad mold/mildew note that leaving it on for longer and/or doing a second round of cleaning made a huge difference!
Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised after I used this product. I wish I had taken a before picture. My shower caulk was gross. It was full of mold/mildew and no cleaners worked for me, none — until I found this. The product is a great value for the results, the size of the bottle, the ease of use and price. I recommend it!!" —RL
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
34. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals that'll help your plants (both indoor and outdoor!) survive droughts and downpours whether they're caused by nature or your inability to keep track of their watering schedule because Survivor is back on and, frankly, that's got your full attention.
Mix the crystals in with your regular potting soil, and they'll absorb water and release it when your plant is thirsty.
Promising review: "I love the fact it will help keep my plants alive — no more over or under watering. It will last forever, too, as it takes only a tablespoon for little plants. Great product and value." —Annette H. Cox
Get it from Amazon for $12.23+ (available in packs of one or two).
35. A pack of slow-cooker liners if you love yourself a one-pot meal but don't love having to scrape away baked-on food when you're finished.
PS: They also come in handy with dishes going into a water bath (think: cheesecakes, custards, and puddings).
Promising review: "Other bags are on the market but these are the best and a great value. They are a gift to me for easy cleanups as we move into cold weather and holiday Crockpot cooking season. Love them!!" —Kathey
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $3.31.
36. A tub of paw butter that soothes dry and cracked tootsies (and even noses) with a pH-balanced blend of shea butter, oatmeal, mango, vitamins E and F, coconut and olive oils, and aloe vera.
37. A bottle of Kenra's Platinum Blow-Dry Spray which allows you to cut your drying time in HALF and acts as a thermal protectant and frizz tamer all the while. It's also popping off on TikTok, sooo take that or leave it!
Promising review: "This has been a game changer for my daughter's long, thick, heavy hair. So much less time to dry and it leaves it silky smooth. Also, has been a game changer with blow-drying my curly hair straight in the morning so I don't have to freeze with wet hair and can wear a hat without hat head! Quick run over with the straighter to smooth and it lasts all day. Our hair has never looked healthier. Great value since the smaller bottle lasted the two of us, sharing it, six months." —JM
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and packs of one or two).
38. A portable car vacuum if your toddler's favorite game is to throw their Cheerios all over the backseat and then grind them into the cushions and floorboards on their way out of the car. 🙃
39. A set of silicone stove counter gap covers so you won't attract unwanted critters after flinging pasta into the half-inch crevice for the third time this week. We all know nobody is actually cleaning it out (don't try to lie to us), so go ahead and do yourself a favor.
The covers just slip right into the gap — there's no adhesive involved — so you can easily remove and clean them whenever necessary.
Promising review: "These are fabulous; the silicone gap covers fit perfectly and lay flat between my stove and counter top, providing a perfect seal. The silicone is easy to clean and has not stained, despite hot oil, spaghetti sauce, and craft paint having been spilled on it since I installed them. They are also heat resistant, as is important due to these being next to the stove and the occasional hot pan coming into contact with them. You get two in a pack, so the price made these a great value." —karatchris
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and five colors).
40. A leave-in conditioner for little ones with curly locks that are prone to tangles and breakage. Keratin, plum seed oil, and olive oil combine to leave them with shiny, healthy, incredible-smelling ringlets you can't help but sniff.
Promising review: "This product makes my daughter's curls look amazing. It moisturizes her hair and makes it very soft. It sprays on as a light mist. The scent is nice as well. The bottle is easy to use. I have tried many curl products and no others gave the same results and make her curls so supple. It is a great value for the size of the bottle, the ingredients, and price." —RL
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in packs of one or two).
41. And a pack of Mighty Patch pimple spot treatments to speedily pull the pus out of your most worrisome whiteheads. (Sorry, that was a gross sentence, but it is what it is. 🤷♀️) Before you head to bed, just slap the dots right on any zits, and they'll work their magic overnight.
Check these out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "Stop reading reviews and just buy these!! They WORK!! Great results — these are now an essential part of my skin care routine. Whenever I get a zit, I put one of these on overnight and by morning it’s either gone or at least 90% smaller. Great price for the amount you get! The ones at Sephora are almost twice the price but half the amount of dots! This is a great value and a great product! Buy them already! You won’t regret it!" —Sam
Get it from Amazon for $10.77.
