1. A motivational daily planner if you're looking for a fun way to stay on top of things! You can use it to track your tasks, appointments, phone calls, health/fitness goals, water intake, and more.
Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.
Bliss Collections is a family-owned small biz based in Wisconsin that specializes in handmade paper goods.
Promising review: "These notepads helped me reframe and focus everyday working from home during the pandemic. I used to use a daily planner but working from home changed how I need to plan my work tasks, and personal tasks. I found this helpful for both!" —kristenjoann

2. A mini ice cube tray for enjoying *the* perfectly sized ice cubes to crunch on. You'll also love these if you simply cannot stand when your homemade iced coffee becomes diluted by those unnecessarily GIANT icebergs.
Reviewers also love these for making smoothies easier to blend and for freezing tiny portions of things like minced garlic or lemon juice!
Promising review: "Best little ice cubes ever. They pop out of the tray really easily...especially after setting them out for a quick couple of minutes on the counter. Tipping the tray 30 degrees to level the water before putting it in the freezer is a great tip from another review. The cubes are the perfect size to scoop into my homemade iced mochas." —Heather

3. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment to give your locks the TLC they deserve. It has earned a reputation as an Olaplex dupe for a reason. This repairing mask has collagen ingredients and protein extracts to restore hair health and reduce shedding.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Simply apply it on wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
Promising review: "This product leaves my hair soft and silky every time I use it. It’s a miracle product. There isn’t much of a scent, which is fine. It only takes a small, pea-sized amount. When I first purchased this product my hair was very dry and I had just been to the salon where the stylist commented that she could tell I colored and blew my hair dry often, not exactly something you want to hear, so I had a salon treatment done. My stylist, of course, suggested I come back more often and pay the exorbitant price of the salon every other week. I don’t think it was all that horrible but it was dry. I found this product on Amazon and used it instead. I’m really glad I did bc it’s saved me a ton of money. I don’t write many reviews but I really think this is worth sharing with other people and it’s also worth letting the company know they’re coming across with a great product." —Laura's things

4. A charming little color-changing mushroom light so you never have to stumble through the darkness for a midnight snack again. No more stubbed toes, either.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $6.48.
5. A truly miraculous stain and odor-eliminating spray that continues to receive the stamp of approval from pet parents. It removes those yucky stains *and*odors commonly found in homes with pets, but no more!
This spray contains natural enzymes that feed directly on the ammonia crystals and organic matter (gross, I know, but effective) to eliminate stains and odors. Goodbye forever, pet accidents!
Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.
Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain, and more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelley
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
6. A Luminoodle for creating the most ~chill vibes~ by adding a backlight to your TV. The images on the screen look more vibrant and it helps reduce eye strain because the TV won't be so overwhelmingly bright in a pitch-black room.
This light has five different colors (or you can get it in plain white!), 10 brightness levels, and three fade modes. The light comes with 3M adhesive, a wireless remote, and an in-line on/off switch.
Promising review: "The lights come with an adhesive backing, so once you plan where you want to stick them, all you have to do is remove the backing, and voilà! The lights easily and conveniently plug into the USB port of your TV and the remote it comes with allows you to control the color and kind of light you’d prefer. I love the lights when they’re still white, it really elevates your space. I think they’d also look great behind a mirror and piece of artwork!" —Brenda
Get it from Amazon for $17.67+ (available in nine sizes).
7. A lightly lined T-shirt bra with multiple magical abilities. It has a balconette shape and wide bands for excellent support *without* sacrificing comfort. It also has a back-smoothing factor that is an actual lifesaver when wearing thin T-shirts.
Promising review: "This bra is awesome. It's comfortable while also offering lots of support...like a best friend that you've known forever. The price was also great for the quality." —Allliii9090
Get it from Torrid for $32.17 (originally $49.50; available in sizes 36C–54DD).
8. A jar of reviewer-beloved The Pink Stuff if you need a non-abrasive cleaning paste that'll cut through tough grime in a flash. Whether you're dealing with messes in the kitchen, bathroom, or anywhere else, this is THE stuff.
Promising review: "Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of bandwagon. Of course, I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say, I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super-fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Overall very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa
Get a one-pack from Amazon for $5.97+ (also available as a three-pack).
9. A copy of The Book of Myself: A Do-It-Yourself Autobiography in 201 Questions so you can commemorate some of your favorite experiences to look back on later and maybe even share them with future generations in your family.
This book is a kind of DIY memoir — it goes through three phases of "Early," "Middle," and "Later" years, and has 201 different prompts based on your memories, experiences, and views on the world. Prompts include things like what you would have switched careers to midway through if given the chance, or a present you got from your parents that sticks in your memory, or who you think the funniest person in your family is. This also makes for a lovely gift for family members, so you can all preserve each other's memories!
Promising review: "I love the questions this books asks. They are simple, yet make the writer really think and reveal themselves. I gave them to my parents, my husband's parents, and our one remaining grandparent. I am thinking about getting one for my husband and I as well. I can't think of a better gift for our children than the stories and history of their family. :-)" —Michelle Hanavan
Get it from Amazon for $10.59 or from Bookshop (to support local bookstores) for $15.81.
10. A pack of Mighty Patches that def understood the assignment of being ~tiny but mighty~ with the power to pull the gunk out of your pimples. Put the patch on your zit overnight and witness the grossness/amazingness in the morning.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says: "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The 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. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after two or three hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS."

Promising review: "Whenever I get a pimple starting to come up, I put these on and leave them overnight. In the morning, it gets all the pus out, and the pimple swelling starts to go down. After maybe a day and a half, the pimple is completely gone, and in less than 24 hours the swelling has significantly gone down." —bry

11. A water-resistant Under Armour face mask designed to sit off your face so you have ample room to breathe without getting a mouthful of fabric. If you wear a mask for extended periods at work, this is a total game-changer!
"FWIW, if you need to exercise in a mask, this one also has the approval of a *ton* of runners and athletes in its reviews. I have two of them in my own rotation, and I'm impressed by how comfortable they are on long flights *and* while working out. The straps are super soft on your ears — I've gotten used to straps chafing and was surprised by what a difference this made. I gifted one of these to my dad for Christmas last year, too, and it's his go-to for walks and errand running. It's just an overall easier mask to breathe in (while still maintaining a tight fit and keeping the people around you safe!)." —Emma
Promising review: "I love this mask. It's comfortable and fits well on the sides. It's multi-layer, which gives me peace of mind, but it's not hot nor does it trap my breath, making it uncomfortable when I'm working out. It washes and dries well, but just make sure you give yourself time for it to completely dry before planning to wear again...as I mentioned, it's multi-layer, so it takes a little longer (to air-dry). I also wore this mask on recent plane trips that I took for the extra peace of mind. So glad I spent the money on a better-made mask. I'm thinking of ordering another one." —Kristi S.
Type Of Fit: Around-the-ear loops
Pocket For Filter: No
Fabric Type: Iso-Chill fabric
Shipping Time: Standard shipping
Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in five sizes and nine colors; for reference, Emma is wearing the Small-Medium above).
12. A box of "Zombie" face masks for tightening your skin while visibly reducing the appearance of pores and fine lines. Once you apply it, you'll feel your skin tighten and you might even resemble *gasp* a zombie! Wash it off after ten minutes and enjoy fresher, brighter skin.
Promising review: "Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level" —Samantha

This leave-in conditioning spray is suitable for all hair types, including straight, wavy, curly, and coily. It contains a blend of rosehip, argan, and coconut oils to help detangle and tame frizz.

14. A handy and compact light therapy lamp if you need more light in your life, which is especially helpful during the dark winter months. This UV-free lamp can be helpful in restoring your natural circadian rhythm to improve your sleep.
Promising review: "I have had chronic insomnia ever since I worked the graveyard shift at an old job and nothing helped — medication, meditation, exercise, etc., but this light has helped to reset my circadian rhythm and I'm finally getting to sleep quickly!! It does make me feel tired after using it for a short time but my physician has recommended I try using it longer than 30 minutes." —Jessica Kjohl
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
15. A portable car vacuum for removing dirt, dust, crumbs, and whatever else might be making your vehicle a tad too messy for your liking. After using this gadget, it'll soon look like you paid for a professional deep cleaning!
Here's what BuzzFeeder Stephanie Hope has to say about it: "When I tell you that I use this product often, I mean it. It's so easy to plug in, vacuum dirt from the floor or seat, and put it away. It comes with three different attachments and an extra filter! My tip is to use the brush attachment for everything as it will kick dirt off the carpet fibers, making it easier to suction."
Promising review: "Yes, it is not a powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house, however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October my husband and I went to the ocean and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" —Julia Bright

Promising review: "This wallet is durable, chic, and spacious. The lining is very soft and feels expensive. From the design to the material to the zippers and snaps, it's well made. I travel frequently and love the boarding pass pocket. I recommended it to my sister and mom, who also love theirs! They ordered in yellow and bronze and were also happy with the color." —Brianna graham
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 40 colors).
17. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer that'll work like a charm for quick under-eye touchups. It'll reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness so you'll look well rested when really, you stayed up binge-watching your fave show. No one's gonna know.
"TBH, last year I started using this myself (although this is former BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo's lovely human face above), and I am mad that I wasted time with other concealers for so long. I am a deeply impatient person who likes to look good and does not like to put in effort in any way, shape, or form, and Maybelline created this so that people like me could gracelessly slap it on in the morning and be like "OK, REFLECTION, YOU GOT THIS" before being on their merry way. It never cakes, I look way more awake than I have any right to, and I never struggle to blend it the way I do with other concealers. 11/10 subscribe." —Emma
Promising review: "This is my all-time favorite concealer. It goes on creamy and covers under-eye circles without looking chalky. I hope they never stop making it." —YvonneL

Promising review: "I really didn't realize how well it worked until I took the after picture. Then I felt bad that I had not done this before. Let me start by saying, I did not even do this every day. I am bad about starting something and not finishing it, but I did use the two tubes that I purchased. I plan on purchasing two more so I can get my teeth whiter. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get their teeth whiter." —Sheri Blanchard

"That's me in the green version (Stargazer) on my way to be a big dweeb, as per usual. I also own it ~Brushed Taupe~ and ~Violet Quartz~. I love it because it's versatile with all my high-waisted leggings and shorts, but also because the compression is close to a bra without actually feeling like one, so it supports without constricting. The fabric's also ridiculously soft too." —Emma
Promising review: "I have these in multiple colors. I love love love them; I wear them all the time and also wear instead of a bra. They are the best, and the material is soft and supportive."—ktbanderson

Promising review: "Worked wonders for me! My skin started breaking out like crazy and almost everything was irritating my skin more. Was told I needed to use a very basic cleanser so I tried CeraVe. Cannot believe the difference I've seen since I started using it. I also use it with a witch hazel toner and rose face oil." —KB
Get it from Amazon for $14.57+ (available in two sizes).
22. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover so you can fight stubborn stains with ease. I'm talking coffee and wine stains, discoloration due to sweat, deodorant residue, and even OLD stains. Put it to the test and see for yourself!
Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase.
"This spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)." —Emma
Promising review: "This has removed every stain I have put in against. We were cooking for Christmas and were frying 8 pounds of chicken cutlets. Olive oil from frying sprayed on my husband’s sweatshirt from cooking. This magical spray got it all out. My son got oil from pizza on a Nike hoodie and again completely gone. It’s great. I’m on my second bottle and I just love it." —nicole

23. A combo pack of Dr. Teal's soothing lavender foam bath and Epsom salts for the ultimate relaxation experience. Soothe your achy muscles while you simultaneously descend into the calming scent of lavender.
Promising review: "I use the Epsom salts after I work out, which is rare, but it does help soothe some pain in my muscles, but this bubble bath is legit. It’s inexpensive, and I take a lot of baths, and I love to feel fancy. A few candles and some of this, and I’m on cloud nine. Because I take so many, I use a lot of bubble bath, and this is the best bang for your buck." —Amazon Customer

24. The TikTok-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller to make excess oil instantly ✨disappear✨ with a few swipes. Swish and flick! It's more eco-friendly than blotting sheets and you won't have to keep powdering your face.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was back ordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

I have never been able to do that before. I love these, and they are now a must-have whenever I travel again. 10/10." —Rosse

"I bought one of these as an apartment-warming gift for my own darn self and I love it to pieces. It's compact so it doesn't take up much space, but adds a lovely sophistication to the corner of the room. Plus it just makes me so happy to see my favorite vinyls all on display like decor, and not have to be scrambling around under the bed or on a random shelf where I used to keep them so they'd be "safe." This came fully constructed, too, so there was no hassle pulling it straight out of the box. These are so popular that they're constantly on backorder, so a heads up you might have to wait a few weeks depending on what color you choose — but it is *seriously* worth it!" —Emma
Promising review: "I love this record player. It fits so perfect in my studio apartment and the size is incredible for those small spaces that aren’t as easy to fill. It fits my record player perfectly and I love the second shelf to add extra touches." —shanellllea

Promising review: "I have a couch that traps my beagle/border collie dog’s hair. Sticky tape rollers were painstaking to use, and I often had to go over the same area multiple times. By comparison, ChomChom is a dream come true — quick to use, very effective, with easy clean-up. I’ve had this for eight months and love it. Wish I had known about this product years ago!" —Catherine M.

FYI, you can 6,000% use these for brownies, blondies, and bread too.
Promising review: "As someone who has a child (now a teenager) that will not eat any form of cheese, this pan is amazing! I typically avoid making any food that has cheese mixed into it but now I can make him a section without cheese and the rest of us our regular cheesy goodness. Another benefit to this pan is how well the portions slice. One cut with the spatula gives you a perfectly formed square. Each section makes four regular-sized portions for our family." —TLC

29. A glorious sweat-resistant sunscreen that moisturizes and protects your skin without leaving a ghostly white cast behind, even if you have a darker skin tone. The sunscreen gods have *finally* answered your prayers.

Promising review: "I love the fact that there is no white film. I use it in conjunction with my usual face moisturizer. I noticed my skin looks brighter and smoother after using it throughout the day. I have very oily skin, and I sweat heavily during the summer, so I was worried about breakouts, and, surprisingly, no acne. I recommend giving this a try." —Elle Kay

Promising review: "Our hopes in purchasing this product was to eliminate the need for parchment or foil paper. So we put it to the ultimate test by making fathead dough and rolling it out directly onto the silicone baking mat. I could not believe it didn't stick during the rolling out or the actual baking process. We continuously put it to the test and we've not had any issues as of yet. We just love this great find!!!" —Amazon Customer

"I've been a fan of Aerie's Real Me leggings for a while now, so when they released the high-waisted crossover WITH pockets, I had to give them a try. They're perfect for relaxing days at home or running errands around town, but they also offer plenty of support for workouts and casual strolls around the neighborhood. The pocket is perfect for securing my phone and keys when I go for walks, too. These are my go-to leggings when I want to be EXTRA comfy and not feel like I'm being held prisoner by constricting bottoms." —Courtney
Promising review: "Actually the best leggings I have owned in my existence. Super comfy and form fitting. They aren’t super tight but they also stay up. I’ve owned plenty of leggings in my lifetime and these are the ones I want to marry. 11/10" —Hannah

Promising review: "I always thought it was a hoax that a piece of steel could remove kitchen odors (like from chopping onions or garlic). I am happy to report that it totally works. Handle all the stinky food you want — even nonfood odors — and then wash your hands with this steel bar. No soap. No perfume. It just removes the odor nearly instantly. Little bar is reasonably priced as well. Best gadget I've bought in years." —Deb

35. A bottle of Drop It to stop wine headaches before they start! It's a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that works its magic in 20 seconds. Sip on your fave red blend without the impending doom of a migraine OR an allergic reaction.
It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends one to two drops for each glass of white wine, two to three for a glass of red, and seven to nine if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be raring to go!
Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine, it was so bad I just stopped drinking wine altogether, then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" —shelleymab

36. A jewelry-cleaning stick that'll make any dull, dingy piece ~shine bright like a diamond~ once again. The cleansing solution is on a brush, so you can really get in there and give your jewelry a deep cleaning.
Promising review: "My engagement ring had gotten really dull over time. I hadn't even really realized until I came across a picture of when I first got it and noticed it didn't sparkle anymore at all. Which was what I had loved so much. I tried EVERYTHING. Soaps, soaking it in baking soda and a little vinegar and dish soap, rinsing it, etc. and nothing was working. This cleaned it up immediately and completely restored it to its former super-sparkly glory! It gets into all the little crevices and clears away all the fogginess. Will definitely purchase again and again!" —Sheila

Promising review: "Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who keeps digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39 but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." —Rick Grisham

39. A budget-friendly sunrise alarm clock to gently wake you up in the morning. It gradually brightens before the alarm actually goes off, so your eyes have time to adjust. Say goodbye to days of hitting snooze and oversleeping. Sorry, but also... you're welcome!
Promising review: "I love it! Firstly, I’m glad I didn’t pay for the expensive version, because this is exactly what I wanted. I can completely dim the clock’s light while I sleep, so I’m not bothered by the illuminated clock at night. I set the sunrise feature to begin 30 minutes before wake-up, and set the alarm to the birds chirping/nature sounds. It has completely changed the way I sleep and wake up and begin the day. The sunrise feature slowly wakes me up, and the nature sounds of the alarm are soothing and pleasant instead of the usual jarring blare of an alarm clock. Very happy with this purchase! Would recommend." —Tara

40. An adorable reversible octopus plush that's main attraction is cuteness, but it'll also surprise you with its effectiveness. You'll let everyone know where your mood stands, which is perfect for improving communication.
Promising review: "I love this little 'kids' toy. At first, I just thought it was cute; then, I started to use it to communicate with my significant other. On days when I’m in a bad mood, I turn the octopus to the angry side and sit it on the bed. It really helps prevent arguments and makes for easier communication. I also use it as a stress ball; the furry soft texture really eases my anxiety. Despite being super cute, I’ve found it to be very useful." —Lauren

41. A set of wildly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds if AirPods just aren't working out. They're waterproof and come with a few different silicone ear tips so you find the best fit. It's no wonder they have over 200,000 5-star reviews!
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 30 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for six-plus hours with each full charge!).
"I was one of those people still walking around with a cord dangling from my ears because I could never find a wireless pair that worked for me. Enter these life-changing earbuds! I tried all the different silicone ear tips included and got *the* perfect fit. I use them for both listening to music/podcasts and talking on the phone. The sound quality is amazing and I have to charge these MAYBE once a week depending on how much I use them. I'm never going back to AirPods... or dangly wires." —Courtney
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wish list. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port, so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing, and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold

43. The Always Pan from Our Place that is ready to whip up any meal on the menu. This all-in-one pan ~always~ comes in clutch. It can be used to braise, steam, strain, sear, sauté, boil, fry, and serve.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Taylor Steele has to say about the Always Pan: "As someone who neither enjoys cooking nor is particularly good at it, the Always Pan has made being in the kitchen feel like less of a chore. Having one pan that can do everything means I don't have to second-guess every cooking decision I make. I can boil and prepare pasta in it. And I can roast Brussels sprouts. And I can make the perfect fried egg. And I can steam dumplings. The best part is that everything slides so seamlessly out of the pan and onto the plate, which also makes clean up super fast and easy. Both the amateur (read: reluctant) cook and the more seasoned chef will enjoy creating fan favorites and new recipes in the Always Pan!"
Also, BuzzFeeders LOVE this pan. Here's our full Always Pan review, in which seven members of our team weigh in on everything they love about it, from the nonstick coating to the versatility to the ~aesthetic~.

45. A pack of drug-free Breathe Right nose strips so your partner doesn't despise you in the morning after you kept them up with your snoring. Plus, this helps dilate your nostrils and encourage healthy airflow so you'll get better sleep, too.
Promising review: "Have you ever slept with someone who snores? Me neither —because it's impossible to sleep with a chainsaw in your bed. My husband, for all his wonderful qualities (and I mean really wonderful), is not a quiet sleeper. He can drift off in a matter of a minute or two (no kidding!) and begin sawing logs like Paul Bunyan (yes, I know he used an axe...stay with me) without so much as twitching. Meanwhile, I'm on the other side of our bed with a pillow over my head, remaining awake to the vibration of his snoring through the mattress. (I might be being a little dramatic...) Enter Breathe Right. So far, on the nights when I can get him to put it on, we both sleep like a dream! The challenge is catching him to remind him to wear it before he goes to bed." —Stella
