1. A set of Globbles, which are about to be your new favorite stress-relieving fidget toy. These colorful balls are squishy, stretchy, and stick to pretty much any flat surface you throw them at *without* leaving any messy residue. TikTokers are having a blast tossing these at walls and ceilings to see the satisfying way they glom onto them.
Check out a TikTok of the Globbles in action.
Promising review: "Bought a six-pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could. The inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer

2. A copy of Burn After Writing, a beautifully-designed guided journal tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go.
Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm
Get it from Amazon for $7.32.
3. A Michael Scott/Prison Mike reversible dishwasher magnet so you always know whether the dishes in there are clean and need to be put away, or whether they're dirty and here to SCARE YOU STRAIGHT.
Check out a TikTok of the Michael Scott dishwasher magnet in action.
Promising review: "My whole family is a fan of The Office, so when I was searching for a magnet we could use on our dishwasher, this was the hands-down winner. Does it go with my farmhouse decor? Nope, not at all. But it does get the attention of two teenage boys. Had I gone with something a bit more my decor style, I can guarantee you it would not be as useful. I mean, we all would much rather see Prison Mike staring back at us than suit and tie Michael Scott, right? And there is only one way for that to happen...clean out the dishwasher!" —R. Funk
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
4. A dimmable sad duck nightlight because sometimes you just have to look at this emotionally deflated creature on your desk and be like, "Welp. At least I'm doing better than that little dude."
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available also as a cabbage?? I don't know, you do do).
5. A tear-off daily self-care calendar for a gentle way to start your day and still keep it productive and fulfilling — this has space not just for a to-do list, but affirmations, things you're thankful for, reflections, meals, and plans for self-care.
Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.
Promising review: "I got this for my mental health when I was in a really bad place mentally and I was trying to figure out why I was having so many panic attacks. This made me feel on top of stuff and gives me something to look forward to. Super cute, super cheap, and it makes me happy." —katelyn
Get a 50-sheet pad from Amazon for $9.49.
6. A shaker of salt and vinegar seasoning so you can get all that puckery salty goodness *without* sacrificing crunch. Reviewers love using this for everything from chips to baked potatoes to fried chicken to veggies, and mention that since it packs a punch it lasts a while and is def worth the investment.
Promising review: "Always loved salt and vinegar and this is a great way I can satisfy a craving without necessarily having to buy a pricey bag of chips. Another reviewer said that this particular product was pretty tangy and not sweet like some other brands — I can’t speak to other products, but this stuff is definitely tangy and doesn’t really have any sweetness to it. The consistency is almost like powdered sugar, which is great because it sticks to almost anything. The flavor reminds me almost exactly of Lay’s S&V chips — it’s more of a white vinegar than a malt vinegar (more like Kettle brand or British S&V chips). Def will buy this again." —WJ
Get it from Amazon for $9.81 (and check out some other fun seasonings like sour cream and onion and wild buffalo for more options!).
7. 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, gives you instant length, and is DELIGHTFULLY sweatproof.
Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the livelong day no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time.
Promising review: "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5 you couldn’t ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." —Kd
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
8. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks for three just-as-good-as-Laneige products in *one* — this even comes in four different flavor combos so you can split them among friends, if you're feeling generous during this dry skin-inducing winter.
Promising review: "This is the most moisturizing lip treatment in the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it’s soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in four combos).
9. A set of rainbow bath fizzes that are just. Lawlessly joyful. *grabs you figuratively and respectfully by the face* LISTEN. You deserve this technicolor chaos in your bath water. You just do!!
Promising review: "I bought a two pack of these for my seven-year-old for Christmas and they did not disappoint! The rainbow lasts a long time and makes beautiful, vibrant trails across the water. My daughter was completely enchanted! I highly recommend this product!" —JRoff81
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.95 (available in four-packs and three other styles).
10. A set of eye-popping fine point pens designed for planners and journals, so you can — gasp — color code all your to-do lists, fun plans with friends, and scrapbook pages.
Perhaps most importantly for anyone out there planning to go full Leslie Knope on these is that they're designed not to bleed through thin pages!
Promising review: "I love how this pen feels to hold and it writes beautifully! I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use and I don't remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!" —Marcia
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $7.99.
11. A Starbucks custom drink order sticker complete with your go-to beverage listed out so you can feel *seen* every time you look down at your laptop or reusable cup. Truly nobody knows you better than the the Starbucks mermaid and your local barista!!!

12. A book-shaped flower vase with some real "Belle from Beauty & the Beast" energy (like TELL ME this vase wouldn't absolutely come to life and start strutting its stuff all over the library).
Check out a TikTok of the book vase in action.

16. A pack of Pokemon cards so you can relive the visceral, bone deep, RIDICULOUS thrill of being a kid in the '90s who just shenaniganned an adult into buying them for you. WOW to feel the rush of ripping those open in the backseat of the car on the way out of the mall again!!!

Cheers!" —MediaBoxEnt
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 10 styles).
18. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt anyone in the movie theater industry will tell you is a perfect substitute for that oh-so-savory buttery goodness you love to inhale before the previews begin. Not to be dramatic about popcorn on main, but this stuff is game changing.
Our family recently unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm.
Promising review: "I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item. My at-home popcorn is now my favorite thing to make and I don't need to go the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." —S Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $9.60.
19. The Five Minute Journal, a thoughtfully-designed journal for reflection and mindfulness that guides you through five questions each day to help you connect with yourself and take clearer steps toward the future you want. Reviewers say it's made an impact on everything from their confidence to their productivity to feelings of peace.
Promising review: "Worth the money!!! It has really helped me journal more and it makes me feel productive in the mornings! It has changed my day to day routine and allowed me to reflect on the important parts of life! It is on the pricer side for a journal IMO, and some of this could be written in a regular journal, but for someone like me who doesn’t always know how to start it is great! 10/10 recommend!" —Alyssa Hall
Get it from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in six colors).
20. A pound of cereal marshmallows because truly I think we're all hard-pressed to think of a scenario that *doesn't* warrant having an emergency bag of these to whip out for the occasion. Pro-tip — refrigerate these babies if you want 'em extra crunchy.
Medley Hills Farm is an Ohio-based, family-owned small business that specializes in unique candies, snacks, and baking supplies.
Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer

21. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds that make *excellent* AirPod substitutes, 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.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge).
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. 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

Promising review: "Don’t think any further and just buy it. This was so cool and everyone loved it! I got the clear one because it will go with any drink. I will be the one to put this in all my friends drinks. Also had no taste so it was just the look. Sooooooo cool!" —gigi

Promising review: "Love love. This little ring is completely what I was looking for. It's so comfortable and changes with moods. Being 70 it brought so many memories back. I bought size 10 for thumb. But love it on index finger. Granddaughter will love this too. ❤" —sisB
Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in sizes 3–12 and three band colors).

In another words, the nostalgic joy of mechanical pencils without any of the "oh no, am I about to fail this Scantron test??" panic of high school.
Promising review: "Everything arrived in a nice, plastic box and was neatly organized. I had my doubts about the large erasers, their texture felt very rubbery, so I doubted they'd be able to erase well and fears they would smudge my papers, but after testing them, they work very well and left my paper looking clean. Everything about this pen set is very cute, the colors match the pictures and I will definitely order these again in the future." —Tessa Hartwick
Get it from Amazon for $18.29.
32. A set of edible crunchy insects to liven up your meals and expand your palette — reviewers comment that these are a good "blank slate" kind of snack and are fun to season to your liking!
Erbie's is a small business that specializes in dehydrated, seasoned bug snacks. Each bag includes a mix of house crickets, black crickets, grasshoppers, silkworm pupae, and sago worm pupae.
Promising review: "All the reviews were pretty spot on. Small bag, crumbly, not very flavorful. Pop some garlic salt or paprika in the bag and you're good to go! Debating on making a flour with them and using it to bread some chicken. I'm a foreman at a body shop and only three of the guys were willing to try them and the rest scattered, so it was an entertaining day. Keep water nearby because they are dry." —Stacia Eldredge
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a two-pack).
33. A pastel cotton linen cross-back apron reviewers love for gardening, cooking, and even just adding a chic layer to a breezy outfit.

Get it from Amazon for $17.98 (available in six styles).
35. A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder for an absurdly cute storage option for keys that will prettttyyy much guarantee you never lose them again.
Promising review: "So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter
Get it from Amazon for $6.98.
36. A dainty bird-shaped lemon juicer you can use to squeeze lemons, limes, or oranges into your morning tea, salads, or hot water. Turns out the early bird gets the worm *and* the delightfully aesthetic juice.
