1. A pair of wireless sleep headphones so versatile you can use them for everything from playing white noise to fall asleep or blasting music on a run — 110% would not be surprised if half the neighborhood outfits themselves with them by the end of winter.
2. A CurlCap, a satin-lined backless adjustable cap designed with natural hair and updos in mind, so you never have to worry about your hair snagging or getting damaged. The question is less if your friends are going to get them too and more whether or not you should get different colors or match.
3. A rechargeable hand warmer complete with double-sided heat and three different heat settings that'll make you the envy of everyone gritting their teeth through the winter cold.
4. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that works its magic on your glass in just 20 seconds, sparing you the infamous Post-Wine Headache and allergic reactions. It'll be hard *not* to shout from the rooftops about that (especially since unlike everyone else, you don't have a one-glass-of-wine hangover anymore!!).
5. A compact light therapy lamp that thousands of reviewers swear by — this UV-free bb is smaller than other models, making it easier to use on a desktop for longer sessions on days when you're too busy to get away from the computer during prime daylight hours.
6. 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!!
7. A Happiness Runs crop top from FP Movement that I am frankly *obsessed* with and own in two colors. It's super comfy and just the right amount of compressive for casual wear — a lot of reviewers swear by it for yoga, Pilates, and errand running.
Free People
That's me in the green version on my way to be a big dweeb, as per usual. I also own it ~brushed taupe~. 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.
Get it from Free People for $30 (available sizes XS–XL and in dozens of colors).
8. A pair of sherpa-lined joggers so warm and comfortable that whoops, they just became your only personality trait, so your squad will pretty much *have* to get on board.
9. A popular water-resistant Under Armour face mask designed to sit off your lips, giving you plenty of room to breathe without getting fabric sucked into your mouth — a perfect mask for anyone who wears a mask for work all day, or needs a comfy option for a long plane flight. It's also made with the company's Iso-Chill fabric, so it doesn't overheat despite being bulkier than other masks.
10. Plus popular streak-free anti-fog spray you can quickly apply to eyeglasses, sunglasses, and face shields to prevent them from fogging up while you're wearing a mask, then shout about to all your fellow glasses-wearing buds.
11. A set of affordable, highly popular (seriously, these have over 230,000 popular reviews) wireless Bluetooth earbuds that make for excellent AirPod dupes, or maybe even better — these are so waterproof you can take them in the shower.
12. A cult-favorite Athena Club Razor Kit with blades specifically designed to handle curves *and* sensitive skin — like so well-designed that the razors are enhanced with shea butter to make shaving cream *optional*. It's also lazy-person friendly, cuz you can get replacement blades on a personalized subscription, and the razor comes with a rust-proof magnetic hook so you don't have to worry about adding even more clutter to your poor shower.
Athena Club
Each kit comes with two five-blade cartridges, stainless-steel blades, one razor handle, and one magnetic hook.
Promising review: "Best razor EVER! This razor is amazing! Such a close shave and my legs are so silky afterward! AND it doesn't irritate my legs like other razors. Never going back!" —Lori
Get it from Athena's Club for $9+ (available in eight handle colors and a variety of subscription plans).
13. A Pet House candle designed to quickly mask miscellaneous pet odors and smoke so effectively that it'll be a miracle if you post about anything else in the group chat again.
14. A rose gold, flameless rechargeable electric lighter made with a long stem so you and your candle squad (we all have multiples of those, right?) can light all your beloved three-wick candles without wasting matches or gas.
15. A lovely speckled S'well Traveler made with triple-layered, vacuum-insulated construction to keep your homemade pumpkin spice lattes warm on brisk morning walks. Take your sweet time getting back, cuz this will keep it piping for up to 12 hours!
16. An MVP-worthy pet urine stain-removing spray that instantly tackles both old and new stains *plus* the yucky smell, so you can enjoy the quality time you're getting with your pet without sacrificing your carpet and/or your nostrils.
17. An adorable Zero mood lamp you can carry around wirelessly so you can pretend he is your actual pet 😭.
18. Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea Curl Defining Creme made with coconut oil, shea butter, aloe, and avocado oil help define and moisturize curls without buildup, so the next time you load Zoom everyone will pull out a pad to learn your routine and take notes. This medium-hold creme is ideal for wash 'n' gos, twist, or braid outs.
19. A dainty beaded face mask chain you can snap right into your mask to keep it on your person while you're driving in the car between errands and start a new rainbow trend 🌈.
20. A sparkling-wine saver that will keep your bubblies bubbling so you can pop your prosecco any day of the week and know you won't have to waste one single drop. I personally was convinced to buy this by multiple friends, and have since made it my mission to sing its praises in every single key.
21. A subscription to MeUndies so you can handpick your own suuuuper soft underwear each month, with a ton of different rotating styles and patterns to choose from so you'll never get bored of your undie vibes.
22. A folklore-inspired mug that every fellow Swiftie in your life is about to take a swan dive into Etsy to get to match.
23. The Always Pan from Our Place, which is perfect for anyone who has big culinary ambitions, but needs a (highly functional!) nudge. This BuzzFeed-beloved nonstick pan is actually eight pieces of cookware in one, and is designed braise, sear, steam, strain, sauté, fry, boil, serve, and store. Basically, if you can dream it, you can cook it in this bb.
24. A pair of affordable winter boots that actually deliver on traction — these anti-slip soles have made me, a certifiable Clumsy Individual, feel a lot more steady on my feet walking in the snow and icy pavement, and I've been telling all my fellow klutzes about them ever since.
25. A super popular time-marked water bottle you can get in a bajillion different colors, so your whole friend group can match while y'all try to hit your water intake goals each day. It's designed to fit into car cup holders and has a button by the mouthpiece to pop the cap off for easy access.
26. A bunch of Miracle-Gro "food spikes" so effective you'll want to put your before and after pics of your dying plants on a billboard for your fellow plant parents to see. Not only can they bring plants knocking at death's door back to life, but they'll continuously feed them for 30 to 60 days.
27. A meal delivery from HomeChef, which will send you portioned and labeled ingredients for all kinds of meals that you can customize yourself using an app. It's sort of like being your *own* fancy chef, but with training wheels.
28. A gorgeous customizable earring display you can use to display your favorite pieces *or* use to sell them on sites like Etsy and Poshmark — who doesn't love decor with some sneaky economic value??
29. An adorable We Rate Dogs daily calendar so darn cute you'll end up sending each page to the group chat every morning until they all end up with the cuteness on their desks, too.
30. Glossier's Cloud Paint blush, which I personally love because it feels like fingerpainting your face. It's thick enough for a noticeable glow, but subtle enough that you don't have to be super precise about it — basically every time I complained about makeup being too hard, a friend rec'd it to me, and I've neeeever looked back.
31. A detangling brush with an easy-to-hold handle that's so effective on all hair types that it's amassed over 35,000 5-star reviews on Amazon — in other words, you're about to make this bb TikTok-famous.
32. An Orolay jacket, aka *the* Amazon coat, complete with sherpa-lined hood. You may have noticed a lot of people wearing over the past few years, and it truly lives up to its cozy hype. I can speak from experience when I say once one person gets it, the whole friend group wants to get on board.
33. A pair of dreamy tie-dye faux fur-lined Crocs because why grocery shop in boring sneakers when you can start a whole new aesthetic trend?
34. A mesh body exfoliator from LuvScrub that'll knock all your loofahs and washcloths out of the park — its large size and unique texture help smooth and clean skin all over your body, including hard-to-reach places like your back, so you can get the kind of post-exfoliation glow everyone around you will want for themselves.
35. A window-suctioning cat hammock so darn precious that the moment you 'gram it your DMs are going to be flooded with people demanding a link.
36. A bottle of Truff hot sauce, which is basically what happens when truffles and gourmet hot sauce have a ridiculously decadent baby with a *ton* of Instagram clout. Be the hot sauce influencer you want to see in the world.
37. Essence's Lash Princess mascara for instant length so effective, affordable, and truly luxe-feeling, you might just collect your friends' addresses and send it directly to them.
38. A lightweight, faux-leather tote so versatile, it'll last through every season and Instagram pose. If people aren't asking about it by then, they certainly will when they get a peek at its perfect wee side pockets.
39. A pair of sleek touchscreen-friendly gloves — you'll be so fast keeping up with the group chat even in the cold that everyone will demand to know your ~secret~. (🎶 Maybe they're born with it, maybe it's functional winter gear 🎶)
40. A cold brew coffee maker so gloriously easy to use that all you have to do is stick your favorite ground coffee in the filter, seal the airtight lid on top, and pop it in the fridge overnight. Every friend group needs a Caffeine Master to keep them up to date with coffee hacks, and now you are decidedly it.
41. Plus a set of Bottle Bright tablets so you can easily clear all those caked-on stains in your bottles, travel mugs, and even coffee makers without scrubbing them into eternity — good thing this comes with six tablets, because once you start showing off the before and afters, *everyone's* gonna want to try.
42. A vitamin C-based face serum for brighter, firmer skin that can also help reduce pores and redness, with results so satisfying you won't just want to tell everyone in your circle about it, but maybe? Even write? A song??
43. A color-depositing clenditioner you can either use in the shower to maintain your hair color or even out fading highlights, *or* apply to dry hair for to get a temporary tint all on your own. If the popularity of that color-changing filter on Insta is any indication, everyone in your feed is going to want to be a part of this temporary dye fun.
44. A selfie ring light with such superior lighting everyone in Zoom game night will text you on the DL to see where they can get one too.
You setting a new trend for all your friends with one of these game changers:
