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 lil' reversible octopus plush that is, literally and figuratively, a Mood — you can prop this on your desk or somewhere in your home just to let everyone know how you're vibin' (or even just to check in with yourself ❤️).
2. An Eos shea butter shaving cream to truly change the GAME for sensitive skin or anyone prone to razor burn — this smooth, hydrating formula may feel different than your typical shaving products when it goes on, but the results speak for themselves.
3. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which tackles so many darn things that it'll be the BFF of every room in your house. Need to paint over a stain on the wall? Get it off with The Pink Stuff. Think you need to replace that caked over grimy pan? Put The Pink Stuff to the test. About to hire cleaners to tackle whatever the heck is going on in your tub? 1-800-The-Pink-Stuff, baby!!
4. Essence's Lash Princess mascara, because TBH, we've all wasted too many years and too much money looking for the ~holy grail~ mascara. This one is less than $5 and will give you such instant length you'll feel like your eyelashes are about to pull a Butterfree and take flight.
5. A set of affordable, highly popular (seriously, these have over 214,000 5-star reviews) wireless Bluetooth earbuds that make *excellent* AirPod dupes, except arguably better — these are completely waterproof (like you can fully take them in the shower) and come with several silicone earbuds to get the best fit possible.
6. A webcam cover with a clean minimalist design so it won't disrupt the ~aesthetic~ of your laptop as it also gives you some sweet, sweet peace of mind.
7. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer, an inexpensive lightweight concealer for anyone who wants to quickly touch up before Zoom calls or walks around the neighborhood, but doesn't want to commit to a whole layer of foundation. This also helps cover dark circles without caking and reduces puffiness.
8. A set of durable matte hair clips designed for all hair types that are so comfy a lot of reviewers say they're a go-to for all-day wear. Sorry @ headbands, the clips are taking this one!
9. Cerave's Hydrating cleanser made with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin — aka, all the good stuff to hydrate your face and remove makeup and oil without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Psst — a lot of reviewers with sensitive skin and acne swear by this, because it's super gentle *and* super effective.
10. An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges for expert-level blending and coverage that reviewers have crowned a Beautyblender dupe. It works for foundation, BB cream, powder, *and* concealer, plus wet or dry, so basically it's working harder than I have for *checks watch* my whole life.
11. A dual hair dryer and brush to dry your hair as you style it and give your 'do an incredible amount of volume and shine, without the cost of a pricey blowout.
12. A shampoo scalp massager you can use in the shower to massage and exfoliate your scalp, so you can get all of the relaxing decadence of feeling like someone is massaging your head without physically going to a salon. Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this has also helped with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness!
13. A dishwasher magnet so nobody ever has to do the awkward guessing game of "what is the current status of this plate I want to eat off of" (or worse, nobody accidentally puts a bunch of dirty dishes away 😬).
14. A set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep.
15. A pair of compression gloves designed to help alleviate pain from carpal tunnel and arthritis, so you can type at your keyboard without an internal monologue of "ow OW ow owwwww" for the majority of your workday.
16. A two-pack of TikTok-famous Dan-O's seasoning, a low-sodium, hecka-flavorful option made with dried herbs, citrus, and granulated onion and garlic that reviewers love to jazz up everything from fish to beef to eggs to veggies.
17. A rose-gold rechargeable electric lighter you can use to replace all your old gas ones. This one is not only chic as heck, but completely flameless, and made with a long stem so you can use it to light gas burners and larger candles without dealing with an open flame.
18. A tiny milk frother that makes rich, creamy froths in seconds, because why stop at regular tea and coffee when you can have velvety-soft milk tea and lattes?
19. An oral rinse made with a mild mint flavor that packs a powerful punch — this formula fights bad breath for a full 24 hours, and can combat those sour, bitter, and metallic tastes you can sometimes get in your mouth.
20. A pair of retro-inspired sunglasses with some subtle "I'm the main character" energy.
21. A rotating digital alarm clock complete with two USB ports, plus an input port, plus a wake-up alarm, PLUS a mirrored screen, so it is truly Doing The Most (TM).
22. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey to instantly elevate every dish you make to "my compliments to the CHEF" level. You can add a pinch of sweet and a kick of spice to anything from pizza to salads to tacos to — be still my '90s bb heart — grilled cheese.
23. A firming eye cream that uses vitamin C, vitamin E, rosehip seed oil, and hibiscus flower extract to brighten and firm that sensitive skin around your eyes and neck not just on a day-to-day basis, but a long-term one, too.
24. A sleep-focused essential-oils blend made with chamomile, sage, and lavender to help soothe anxiety and reduce stress before bedtime and promote prolonged sleep.
25. Or a set of melatonin sleep patches made with an all-natural blend of melatonin, magnesium, and valerian root to help you gently nod off into dreamland without any of the groggy side effects that come with sleeping pills.
26. A facial applicator brush to make your nightly skincare routine *so* much tidier — this helps you evenly spread the product on your face without also spreading it all between your fingers and under your nails while you're at it.
27. A compact rolling desk bike pretty much guaranteed to keep even the most restless among us on task. Sorry @ your actual desk.
28. A pack of soft bow headbands to hold back your hair during your skincare and makeup routines *without* creasing your hairstyle or messing up your curls.
29. A nourishing yuzu-scented foaming hand soap that dispenses in your hand in the shape of an actual yuzu flower 😭. The foam isn't even half the hype — it also smells like a floral daydream.
30. Or for a DIY vibe, a Marshmallow Whip Maker, which can turn a coin-sized amount of your favorite face cleanser into a cup full of light, frothy foam — not only does this help your cleanser last longer by giving it more suds and surface area to cover for a smaller portion, but the bubbly texture can help reduce friction on your face. Also...it's just a whole lot of fun??
31. An Onset soap eyebrow kit, an eyebrow pomade that doesn't just fluff up your brows for a little extra ~drama~, but holds them in place all the livelong day. It's basically like getting a whole bunch of extra eyebrow thickness without any effort!
32. A mini trash can you can slide into a drink holder or the backseat pockets as an easy way to cut down on miscellaneous clutter you will inevitably have to go on an Indiana Jones–esque deep dive to collect later.
33. An acupressure mat and pillow set to help relax tension and relieve stress at the end of a long day of being a human. The mat and pillow are equipped with over 7,000(!!) acupressure points, which help release tight muscles. It's a little bit jarring when you first lay on them, but you should feel results within 10 to 30 minutes of laying on the mat.
34. A pair of lint removers you can also use to pick up pet hair — perfect for all those days you're halfway out the door and realize your black leggings are so covered in fur that you've got a whole extra layer of insulation going.
35. A set of portable soap paper sheets perfect for when you're on the move during the day and getting tired of the harsh sensation of hand sanitizer — just add water, and one of these will suds right up so you can get your hands squeaky clean.
36. A showerhead designed with three settings — Rain, Jetting, and ~Massage~ — so you can transform your shower into your own personal spa. Not only is the pressure relaxing, but it'll help you get a deeper clean. Bonus? It's as easy to screw in as a lightbulb.
Me when I see a fully aesthetic drink made with that milk frother:
