"I must have you" —a sweeping love declaration from a historical drama, but also you talking to this rose gold electric lighter.
In fact, if you are looking for an immediate LOL, please head straight to the review images of this little gizmo — pages and pages of kitty cats losing their marbles. It is goodness and absurdity and light.
Promising review: "Super simple, ridiculously simple cat toy, that is a MUST-have for kitties who like to chase and bat at moving toys. I have the fishing rod style toy which they like, but it was the introduction of the Cat Dancer that really lights them up. I don't know exactly what it is, but they flipping LOVE the look and movement of this toy. It just has a super appealing movement that drives them nuts. They just sit and stare at other toys, but this? WHOA!" —Precise Disarray

Promising review: "A must-have. I had to keep my cat's litter box in my room while I was living with a roommate for a month, and this candle was a lifesaver. In a matter of minutes after lighting this, the smell completely evaporated. I love the smell of the candle, and it lasts a long time. A necessity if you have company coming over and want to get rid of the smell of your cat. Your guests wouldn’t even know you had a litter box!" —Celease

This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (lol, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it.
Promising review: "A must-have! One of my favorite IG influencers who's down to Earth and very coupon-savvy posted this during Christmas! I ended up ordering two of the white ones! Perfect for stocking stuffers for my sister and my mom! My dad is shocked how amazing it is! All three of them love it so much! So so easy to use and to charge! And there’s a safety switch so my little kids can’t light it! It’s super sleek and works amazing to start candles or even the fireplace!" —Bizzly

This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!
Promising review: "I waited a couple months to review this so I would really know how they work and honestly, I can’t say enough good things about them. I’ve done the creams, the little electric hair removers, and plain old tweezers, but these are my favorite by a long shot! Not only do they actually get rid of all the peach fuzz on my face super well — without the skin irritation I risk using creams — but it’s sooooo easy, fast, and painless. Plus it exfoliates my skin! It amazes me every time I use these how much fuzz and dead skin comes off. You really only need to go over your face once every couple weeks or so, but I imagine it depends on how dark your hair is and how fast it grows. Finally something that is cheap, easy to use, and effective! For very dark haired me, these are most definitely a must-have." —Abigail

A lot of reviewers also mentioned this was great for saving their lipstick or when fabric from masks gets wet in the rain!
Promising review: "This is a must-have for the pandemic! I saw products similar to this around the net and thought they were useless. To my surprise, these 'frames' made breathing under the masks (cloth and disposable) MUCH EASIER to breathe. The feeling is like day and night, as if I have been using face masks wrong this whole time! 100% recommended and will repurchase." —Trieu

I purchased one of these at the aggressive behest of a friend, and it's LEGIT. I told myself I was a Red Wine Lady my whole life because it was easier to save for later, but now that I don't live in constant fear of wasting the bubbly stuff, I am an All Wine Lady and have finally achieved my truest form.
Promising review: "This is a must-have if you like your bubbles! This is the best champagne stopper I’ve ever owned. Does not leak, stays on tight and keeps my bubbles fresh! (I usually drink them quickly but that’s not the point.) Every time I open it up it’s like I’m opening up a fresh bottle. 10/10 would recommend!" —Lala

Promising review: "A must-have in my wardrobe! As soon as I opened the package, I tried on these pants. They fit PERFECT! I really like them and so glad I took a chance and ordered both a blue and a black pair right away. I am going to go back and see if I can get more colors!!" —Cat 16
Get it from Amazon for $25.96 (available in women's sizes 2-28, three inseams, and six colors).
FWIW re: scars, though, 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: "BioMazing — must-have. This stuff is gold. I think it’s a little pricey for an oil but I’m glad I bought it. It is really great. Even on the face. It eventually dries all the way and really leaves a nice moisturized skin. I love it and will use this for a long long time." —Tiffany A.

Promising review: "These things are AMAZING. They are magical. If you have a pet that has accidents in the house, these are a MUST-HAVE. After your pet has an accident, all you need to do is open up the packet, place the pad on the accident spot, and then step on the pad to release the magic formula. Leave it there for at least a half an hour or up to 24 hours. Why the discrepancy, you might be asking? Because these pads work on DRIED STAINS. Holla!!!! My puppy has been driving me bonkers with accidents in the house, but I don't sweat it anymore thanks to these pads. They are seriously miracle workers and I will always have a supply of them in my house going forward." —Lisa Koivu

Promising review: "My toxic trait is buying myself an iced coffee every time I leave my house. Unfortunately, that was not an option during quarantine so I bought this to fill the gaping iced coffee void in my life. AND IT WAS THE BEST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE. Instead of spending $15/WEEK on iced coffee, I'm now only spending $7/MONTH and my coffee tastes better/fresher. It's super easy to use and clean and works with any coffee grounds. If you're an iced coffee or cold brew fanatic like me, this is a must-have!" —Caitlin

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 1-2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2-3 for a glass of red, and 7-9 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 really was skeptical when I bought it. I always have headaches when I drink red wine. 🍷 From the moment I started using these drops I noticed that I had no headaches at all when I woke up! It’s a must-have and I told all my friends about it, great gift idea! You won’t be sorry." —VRed

Promising review: "Absolute must-have Bluetooth wireless headphones. Perfect!! Paired with Bluetooth quick and easy. Battery charge seems to be very good, I've been wearing this all day into the evening and still at 100% charge. The range seems to be good, although I haven't been to far away from my phone, but very comfortable. I'm looking forward to sleeping with this on tonight listening to one of my Audible meditation books. Highly recommended." —ToesInTheSand

Promising review: "We just went on a flight overseas with our 17-month-old. He loves movies but hates hats or anything on his head. However, these were a LIFESAVER. Once he realized the headband let him hear, he didn't move. Gave us at least six hours total of peace. Definitely a MUST-HAVE if you are flying with a little toddler! We got tons of compliments. Do not fly without these!" —Whitney Blyth

Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of over 100,000 positive 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 live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), 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: "This mascara has become the new MUST HAVE for my everyday make up. First of all, the price. How can you beat that!! $5 for an amazing mascara is mind blowing really. I have used some of the higher end mascaras and this one is very comparable. It adds both volume and length. I have naturally long eye lashes already and this makes them just so full and gives it just the effect I look for in a mascara. Also, you can build it up. So I put one coat on for everyday and two or three coats on for a night out! It builds and gets even more full and longer. I haven't noticed any flakes or chunks like you sometimes get in cheaper mascara at all." —Brianna Kofer

Eden BodyWorks is a Black woman-owned business established in 2004 that specializes in natural products to nurture, restore, and maintain hair. Reviewers with 2c through 4c hair mention it working well for them!
Promising review: "This curl defining creme is really good, and I consider it a must have. I have 4a, high density, low porosity, coarse hair. This gives my hair great definition and moisture. I think it works best as a part of the LCO method. Personally, I dampen my hair with water, apply this creme, and then follow up with a little bit of apricot or sweet almond oil. It doesn't mix well with products from other brands or other products in general other than oil, but that's not a bad thing considering you don't need anything else. Would definitely recommend this over curl defining cremes from other brands." —Crh

I recently started using one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it a few weeks ago. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice.
Promising review: "Curly girl must-have! I've heard so many great reviews about this product, but never gave in and bought one for myself. I'm so glad I finally did, and so are my curls!! This helps me get a much more thorough clean, when shampooing, and my arms aren't killing me after. I have very thick, long, curly hair and I can definitely feel and see the difference. My scalp used to start feeling itchy/dirty around day 4/5 after washing, but now I'm making it to 7/8 before I need to shampoo again. I definitely recommend!!" —Bethany

^^ That is my human face making that awkward "look at my teeth!!" grimace up there. I am very vigilant about using teeth whitening toothpaste twice a day, but it's truly no match for my tea/dessert consumption, I suppose. I used this pen maybe five times over the course of a week in between the before and after on this (you're supposed to use it more often than that, but I am lazy and forgetful). It didn't irritate my gums and all, it doesn't have a weird after taste, and it's also just, like. FAST. I wasn't expecting to see results so quickly. I use the pen once or twice a week now just to maintain it. Very little hassle and extremely worth the money.
Promising review: "Must have!!! Love love love this product!!! I love not having to edit any pictures to whiten my teeth anymore. Super easy to use and don’t even have to use it that often for it to work and keep your teeth white." —Ruthie Ovadia

TBH, six months ago I started using this myself (although this is 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 "OKAY, 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.
Promising review: "I was a bit of a skeptic on the claims of erasing dark circles and fine lines. After only using this product twice I noticed a huge difference. No fine line and light coverage that isn't heavy. Absolute must have for makeup around your eyes!" —Diana Nachtigal

Promising review: "Must-have coffee. Ever since I’ve had these coffee beans I haven’t been able to like other coffee beans I’ve purchased. It’s my favorite. I’m onto my third bag now. I love using it for pumpkin spiced lattes. I just make a double shot espresso with these beans, mix it with Torani Pumpkin sauce, add ice and cream and I'm done. Soo good." —Christina

My wife says she can barely hear me snore while I'm wearing them, compared to her leaving the room before because she couldn't sleep. Get them." —Amazon Customer

They're also ideal for overnight protection (you can pair them with a pad if you have a heavy flow) and for people who are worried about leakage during sports or physical activities — I personally always wear either these period-proof undies or the ones from Thinx when I go on runs on my period, and it has been a MASSIVE godsend. Also, unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these — they're designed so it rinses right out in the sink with soap and warm water, and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there.
Psst — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "A must-have! These period panties are comfortable and fit snuggly! I had my doubts, however, after wearing these during my period I became a believer! These are great to especially wear during night! No longer will wake up to surprises and ruined sheets 🙄 Will definitely buy more!" —Edith

A heads up that this works *super* well for some reviewers, but not all — note that this is meant for non antireflective-coated lenses, and the instructions for use are very specific. To apply, spray a small amount on both sides of your lenses, and use your fingers to rub it across the whole area. Let it sit for a full minute, then wipe with a dry soft cloth. Once they're fully dry, you should be raring to go!
Promising review: "A must have for people who wear glasses and now have to wear a mask due to COVID-19. If you are like me every time you put on your mask your glasses fog up and it is so frustrating. This product really reduces the fogging so that it is no longer an issue, and if the fogging starts up again, just spray some more of the product on your glasses and poof, no more fog. The maker of the product personally reached out to me by mail to ensure that the product met or exceeded my expectations. It is very rare and I truly appreciated it. Again, great product to have to get rid of the fogging of your eyeglasses, would recommend 100%." —Amazon Customer

TBH, I swear by these so aggressively that I have them on a subscription. They're like ear glue. My apartment is on a busy street and my upstairs neighbor is a noisy human being (does this count as a subtweet??) and once I pop these babies in I can barely hear a thing. Plus, my ears never get sore with these in like they do with headphones or other earplugs.
Promising review: "Must-have if you sleep with someone who snores. Wouldn't go a night without putting these in! They really block out the noise — especially if you sleep in the same bed as someone who snores. They are comfy and will mold to fit anyone's ear. I have pretty small ears so I use one and split it in half. So even though its advertised as six pairs, I really get 12 out of each pack! You don't need to use a lot to block out the sounds — and don't need to insert it too deep into the ear. They come out easy." —CourtneyE

Fellow BuzzFeed staffer Natalie Brown tried these on strawberries and spinach and literally called them a "miracle."
Promising review: "These are simply a MUST-HAVE. I read about these as a must-have purchase to solve the same problem you are looking to solve — and they work. I get a lot of fruit at Costco in large quantities. I routinely use these for strawberries, blueberries, grapes and lettuce (loose leaf or whole heads) and they work beautifully. I've forgotten about a half full container for weeks on two occasions and though the fruit had become dryer and shriveled inside, it was somehow not moldy or rotten (at least not mushy soggy rotten). Though not something I'd eat it shows how well these work. I plan to get some difference sizes to use for more things. Not a purchase you'll regret." —Joshua Steen

I recently started putting the Citrus & Petals flavor on my end-of-the-week whiskey drink (quarantine has made me go full Mad Men, who knew!!) and it is SO darn satisfying. I tried the citrus petals version, and it's got a light lemon, faint floral, and vaguely minty taste with its sweetness that just makes the whole experience a delight and a half. The container it comes in is actually quite wide, so what we did was pour lemon juice on the top half to prep the rim, and a bit of sugar in the bottom half to coat it. In other news, I am officially too fancy to exist.

I read the reviews on Amazon and thought it couldn't be THAT good. I took the plunge and tried it. It wasn't that good... It was actually better.

An embarrassing confession: I do not have a pet, but I shed like nobody's business. My hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom and it immediately started pulling it up GOBS of hair. My carpet like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will — you can read my full review of the pet hair broom for more deets.
Promising review: "This is an absolute GAME-CHANGER and a MUST-HAVE! We have a German shepherd dog who, as anyone that has had one WELL knows, they SHED TERRIBLY!! We have all hardwood floors and literally no matter how much, or how often, I swept and/or vacuumed, I could never seem to get up all the hair which just made mopping exponentially more difficult! This little, not to mention INEXPENSIVE, cleaning tool was an absolute GAME CHANGER for me!! It sweeps up ALL of the hair, as well as anything else, and with hardly any effort at all on my part!! I used to LOATHE having to sweep my floors because it took SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT to get them even just a LITTLE bit clean, the hair would swish all over the place! Let's be honest, no one really LIKES to sweep and/or clean (it's just something that has to be done), however I definitely don't mind having to do this chore as much anymore! If you have this type of issue or anything similar you HAVE to get/try one of these!! I promise you will not regret it!!" —Amazon Customer

I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it during quarantine — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what weird assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it (I like mine medium-boiled 🍳). If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra "oomph" to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!
Promising review: "A must-have for every kitchen! LOVE THIS!! If you like eggs, you have to get this ... seriously! I LOVE hard boiled eggs, but hate having to boil water, then cook, then drain, rinse ... blah blah blah. I usually don't end up making them because of the time involved. This is awesome! You just add a little water to it, and go. I do this in the morning before I get in the shower, then by the time I'm dressed, they are ready to peel and eat! No stove, no dishes, no mess. They also peel SO much easier! I also love how small it is. It is really small, so storage is no problem. This picture makes it look way bigger than it is. Won't disappoint!" —Danna K.

I go through at least one avocado a day, so this little thing has made it significantly easier and faster to prep them! It’s very simple to use, and it seems exceptionally sturdy.

Usually it takes me a good 15–20 minutes at least to achieve somewhat of a soft heal. Enter this, it took me five minutes tops. I’ve never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than going to get a pedicure professionally. Seriously so happy I found this." —Mickenzie

Promising review: "Easy to install! I was kinda skeptical at first but once I put these into my bedsheets...OMG. These are a must-have for anyone who has loose sheets or an ill fitting mattress pad and memory foam on my mattress. I used to wake up because of rumpled sheets/mattress pad lumps. These are SO easy to install and grip both my sheets and mattress pad to keep everything nice and tight!" —waterskiergirl

I bought one of these for my ID and credit cards because every time I went for a "quick trip" out of the apartment, I kept dropping them all over the place. The adhesive on these babies goes on super easily and is strong as heck, and the wallet is thin enough that I can still jam my phone into my back pocket without any issue, which is important to my lazy sensibilities. I've had this wallet on my phone for a year now, and it still looks great and holds my cards quite snugly.
Promising review: "The Wallaroo phone wallet is a must have for any cell phone owner. The quality of the leather and design of the wallet is superb. I recently went on vacation and purchased my Walleroo before my trip. It was so convenient to carry my ID, credit card and hotel key and not have to carry my actual wallet. This is a great product that I highly recommend. Many thanks Wallroo for such a convenient and well made product." —Todd Smithson

Promising review: "If you bake, these are a must have. I use them for cookies and croissants/biscuits mostly. I have had some other silicone mats that are thinner, and they are mediocre. These are nice and thick, and they make for better baking. I never have burnt bottoms or anything sticking like I did sometimes with pans. I just put this baby on top of the cookie sheet, pop my stuff in the oven, and almost always get perfect results (the only time I haven't was when I forgot about my cookies and left them in for about 1/2 hour....lol). It's great because I never have to wash the cookie sheets since the stuff was on the silicone mat.... who likes doing dishes??!!! I love these, and now have four. Highly recommend." —Rosie R.

Promising review: "A must-have for working from home! I've been piling couch cushions on my dining room chair to work at home, to no avail, but this seat cushion made a huge difference. Husband tried it and didn't want to give it back, so this was a repeat purchase. Recently I fell and my back is in one long spasm, without this on the chair, couch or even my rather comfortable office chair, I would be lost. Great product, well priced for how well it works." —Lenore Boyarin

Promising review: "Must-have charger. Since I bought this charger, I can't imagine how I ever lived without it! We can charge all our phones and tablets at once without the need for cords all over. Especially like the feature that turns off the light when the device is charged so there is no more guessing. No longer do we have devices all over the house — they are always in the charger when we are not using them. Love, love, love this charger!" —Sidney D.

Promising review: "These are AMAZING! Got a planner recently and wanted it colorful and fun so I'd use it more. All markers i found bled through and all gel pens weren't dark enough to see well. These were easy to use, easy on my eyes, and DO NOT SHOW ON THE BACK OF THE PAGE! Super easy to use. Super bright colors. Makes my calligraphy work super fun and creative. I've even had luck blending the markers to get transitions between colors. Awesome quality and done drawing, writing, scrapbooking, journaling and I use them in my planner with no trouble yet with them running out of ink. Highly highly loved. Must-have for planners." —Ashley R Sanchez

TBH, this stuff can be slathered on anything, but pro tip while you're here: Drizzle it on grilled cheese.
Promising review: "Incredibly delicious, a must-have. So far we've used it on ice cream, gingerbread, pancakes, and waffles, put it in tea, oatmeal, and pumpkin pie, and melted it in plain hot water for easing cold symptoms. We went through it faster than any other honey we've ever bought. It's unique, delicious, and just surprisingly delightful. Definitely spicy but also floral and aromatic, not so spicy that it hurts." —Natalie Kelsey

Promising review: "Must-have for any coffee lover. I was ready to buy a new stainless coffee pot because I couldn't get rid of the coffee stains and smell. I put hot water in the pot with two tablets, waited a couple hours, and POOF it's like brand-new again. No brown coffee stains or even smell. Unbelievable." —Prognosis
