1. 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!!
A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.
Promising review: "The Pink Stuff is definitely worth all the hype it has been receiving. I had seen it in some TikTok compilations and decided to give it a try. The very first thing I cleaned was the inside of my bathtub and wow! It really made my bathtub shine. Before I was using Kaboom, and that didn't clean as well as The Pink Stuff did. I was seriously shocked. The next thing I decided to use it on was some caked on grease on my hood vent. Just like the bathtub I was shocked that it was able to get it all off. All you do is apply the paste with a sponge or cloth to whatever you're cleaning, and then rinse it with warm water. I found with stubborn spots add a little warm water on the paste (if you have a spray bottle I'd recommend filling that with warm water and mist the paste), scrub the spot a little longer, and then rinse. It worked with no issue. I'm definitely interested in to looking at their other cleaning products. I would highly recommend giving The Pink Stuff a try yourself!" —JMURR
"I wish I had thought to take a before photo! I was so close to just buying new, but with a little bit of elbow grease and this paste, it looks brand spanking new! This stuff is going to save me a lot of money in the future and truly is amazing!" —Andrea Mills

2. 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. Boom, four cups of cold brew you don't have to spend a small fortune to enjoy.
Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment i've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E.
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes).
3. A delightfully massive (and leakproof!) tumbler with a handle reviewers *swear* by now that it's impossible to get affordable Stanley cups (you know — the water bottle that's all over TikTok and getting price gauged in every shade). This not only keeps beverages hot and cold for hours on end, but gives you even *more* color options to peruse from.
Promising review: "I’ve been using Simple Modern bottles since my sophomore year of college, so when I graduated and needed a 'big girl' tumbler that wasn’t covered in stickers and would be cute and functional in a professional environment, getting an SM tumbler was a no-brainer for me. I absolutely love the sea glass sage color, and of course, I had to get a matching 32-ounce water bottle, too! These are so sturdy, keeps my water icy cold through the day and the night, and motivates me to hydrate like no other. 1000x cuter than a Stanley tumbler or a Hydroflask, and a much more reasonable price! I get compliments on it every single day. I absolutely cannot recommend this brand and these tumblers enough!" —Hannah Rodlund
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available with or without handles and in 12 colors).
4. A Bluapple, which is a teensy little produce saver that you can tuck into your fridge drawer to help keep your fruits and veggies fresh two to three times longer. All you have to do is replace the packet inside the Bluapple every three months, and bam! Tons of money saved and stress avoided trying to race to eat your way through the drawer before it goes bad.
Bluapple is a small business that specializes in products to keep produce fresh and prevent food waste.
Promising review: "These REALLY work! We have to move them away from our fresh fruit so it would ripen! My produce is lasting at least three times as long without spoilage. This is a great product, and I have already bought many as gifts. They don't seem to work on tomatoes, but they are great with bananas, apples, kiwi, pears, grapes, plums, peaches, lettuces, mushrooms, and many more fruits and vegetables." —Jacki
Get a pack of two (plus eight replacement packets) from Amazon for $23.99.
5. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper that'll have you feeling like a golden god in your kitchen that you'll finally stop ordering $$$ lunch salads to fill the veggie void in your heart. This gadget juliennes, chops, spirals, and slices vegetables in an instant, and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess.
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price).
6. A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag so easy to use that all you have to do is stick your clothes inside, zip up the bag, roll the bag, and watch all the excess air get squished out of them until your clothes magically shrink. BOOM, suddenly everything fits in one carry-on and you've saved a chunk of change!
Promising review: "These were the things I never knew I needed for traveling. They work just as advertised and are really useful when going on a trip. I always hate at the end of a trip having to mix dirty and clean clothes — a 'laundry bag' or plastic shopping bag never really felt like a good enough separation. These bags seal up and conceal the most stinky, wet clothes from your clean unused clothes. They are going to be one of my new necessities for my big family when traveling." —Sarbello
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $16.97.
7. An MVP-worthy pet urine stain-removing spray that will instantly tackle both old and new stains *plus* the yucky smell, so you can enjoy the quality time you're getting with your pet without attempting to math out just how much it's going to cost to replace that carpet they keep peeing all over.
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’s 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 house broken 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 (also available in a gallon).
8. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks reviewers compare to Laneige — 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 weekly meal planner you can use to map out all your meals and grocery needs in advance — particularly handy if you're so busy that prioritizing yummy things falls to the wayside. This is also great for cutting costs, save time ordering groceries, and minimizing your number of trips to the store.
The list magnetizes to the fridge, and has the meal plan on one side, and a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off and take with you on the other side.
Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone, then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. Its being magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me get organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.
Get it from Amazon for $7.95 (available in five styles).
10. A set of four biodegradable, machine-washable Swedish dish cloths — they're super absorbent and designed with a blend of cotton and wood for easier scrubbing, plus each one of these can replace over a DOZEN paper towel rolls. The Brawny paper towel man is shaking.
Skoy Enterprises is a woman-owned, California-based small business established in 2007 that specializes in unique kitchen items.
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and had to order them as I love products that reduce my carbon footprint! I am very impressed and recommend 100%!" —Emilia
"These have saved us so much money when we consider how many paper towel rolls we have saved from all the messy faces and tables our toddlers leave behind. Highly recommended for any parents out there! Easy to clean and sanitize too!" —Mike A
Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 14 color variations).
11. A two-stage knife sharpener, because those blades you bought back in the day?? They're probably super dull by now. Instead of replacing them with pricey versions, ~refresh~ them with this.
Promising review: "Very sharp. I was about to buy a new set of knives until I saw this on TikTok. Works perfectly." —D'sons&Co
"I have had my set of knives for over 10 years. I was looking to replace them when someone recommended trying to sharpen them. I hated sharpening the knives with the sharpener they came with. I wanted something easy. This was it! I sharpened all my knives with it and they are like they were when I first purchased them. This knife sharpener made it quick and easy. It saved me a lot of money from purchasing a new set. If your knives are dull, give this a try. You can't beat it for the price!" —M. Bell

Get it from Amazon for $6.75 (available in four colors).
12. A dual hair dryer and brush to give yourself the exact same pricey blowouts you get at the salon in LITERAL MINUTES. This lets you dry your hair as you style it, give your do an incredible amount of volume and shine in way less time than traditional blow-dryers.
Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!
Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. Love this — get blow out quality straight hair every time. I've spent so much money on products that are not as easy and don't work as well. This does just what it promises. To use, I just blow dry my hair until slightly damp and then use this to finish. Make sure to use heat protectant! Fast and good results every time so far. The cool setting is not that cool but otherwise, I recommend it." —Katie Recken
"I used this for the first time today and I love it! Until today, I was never able to blow out or straighten my own hair. It would just take too long to blow dry it with brush first and then straighten it after. It was just too much work. And then I usually end up with frizzy hair. It took me only 15 minutes on high heat, with no frizz I will try medium heat next time. This is going to save me so much money, because I won't have to pay the usual $80 for each salon blowout." —Lilly
Get it from Amazon for $39.89+ (available in six styles).
13. 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 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
"I LOVE this product! It’s smooth and looks great. It’s just like my $12–$15 priced brand names so I love that I can save money! It also doesn’t fall down to your lower eyelids as the day goes which some of the more expensive brands do… I hate the brushed raccoon look and I actually don’t get it with this one. It’s the only one I keep in my makeup drawer now!" —Devin Culbertson
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
14. A pair of popular cross-waist leggings heralded as the perfect affordable comp for the Aerie leggings that went viral on TikTok — reviewers love this version for the streamlined look, the soft four-way stretch, and of course, the hidden pocket in the waistband 👀.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these leggings. As a plus size girl it’s hard to find really nice leggings on Amazon, but these are so great! They did not move much during my work out, they are squat proof, and they are so comfortable. I will order the next pair a size down because they were a little bit more roomy in the waist than I anticipated. Can’t wait to buy more colors!" —Lillian Williams
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it!
Get it from Amazon for $23.98 (available in women's sizes XS–3X, two inseams, and dozens of colors).
15. An AirPod cleaning pen so you can skip costly repairs — all you have to do is gently dig into the nooks and crannies of your charger and speakers to restore your sound quality to top notch again. (Listen, Taylor Swift did not record the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" for you to disrespect it by blotting it out with too much earwax!!).
Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members and boy am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" —JMilwaukee
"Saved me $140. The right AirPod was extremely muffled and nothing I tried worked. Prime Day was coming up so I decided I’d just get a new pair. But this came across my recommend products so I decided maybe I’d try it out and see if it works. I had no hopes. But I cleaned and now they sound almost as great as when I got them two years ago. Saved me money. Highly recommend this for any AirPod owner." —Hira Khan
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors).
16. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover that works its magic in one wash to help you instantly get rid of all that discolored dried sweat, oil stains, or deodorant residue on your favorite clothes so you don't have to replace them or take them to the cleaners.
Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action.
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.
Psst — 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).
Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long pre-soak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
17. A jewelry-cleaning stick with cleansing solution on a brush designed specifically to get in the nooks and crannies of your jewelry, so you can dig out all the grime that's accumulated over the years on the cheap instead of taking it to the jeweler.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.60.
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? Plus, the Starbucks mermaid doesn't need *all* your money this month.
Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise
"Love frothing my soy milk for my coffee. Saving tons of money making my own lattes!" —lwoods
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 19 styles).
19. A drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go instead of buying a ton of chemical gunk to clear out the pipes or hiring a professional.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and was tired of spending so much money on drain cleaner. I was blown away by how much hair and gunk came out of the sink and tub drain. Disgusting, but also so helpful to actually clean it out. I will recommend this to my family and friends." —Lisa S.
"Saved me so much money on a plumber. This really works — my shower drain was clogged and I used this and I literally got a huge 12-inch thing of hair out, and my drain works again. The plumber wanted $99. Definitely try this first." —Michele
Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.37 (available in two lengths).
20. A fabric defuzzer to revitalize all your favorite knits and cardigans so you can let them shine the way the way Taylor Swift intended, rather than giving up and buying new ones.
Promising review: "TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." —Ruth
"I barely ever write a review on a product, but for this handy little thing I just had to! My boyfriend and I have a lot of clothes, some older than others. Some I have contemplated throwing away like my boyfriend's favorite sweatpants. I wasn’t sure what to think when using it or what to expect the before and after to be, but I am very happy and so is my boyfriend! His sweatpants look brand new!!! I have so many other items I will be working on next. I will say for anything that you buy, be careful, read the instructions, do a test spot on your clothing items before d working on the whole thing. Buying this product will help me save money by not having to buy new unneeded clothing items." —Victoria
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors and two styles).
21. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds that reviewers compare to AirPods, 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
"Saved myself money!! These earbuds are great for what I use them for, which is audiobooks while walking or exercising! The tone is perfect, they stay in my ears and have a great charging case!! I contemplated the expensive ones but I don’t listen to music for extended periods of time so saved myself +$100! Great price for these earbuds and happy I bought them!!!" —Bleem521
Get it from Amazon $19.99+ (clip the 15% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in five colors).
22. A portable car vacuum so the next time you explore the great outdoors or enjoy a particularly messy snack you don't have to coexist with the evidence until the next time you do a deep car clean. With this easy peasy gadget, you can scoop it all up and leave your interiors looking brand spanking new.
Promising review: "This vacuum is great and worth the price!! I sometimes have my friend's dog in my car who sheds a lot and this vacuum is amazing. Saw it on TikTok and am glad I bought it." —ivy lopes
"This product has saved me so much money! I don’t have to use the car wash vacuum that is dirty and smells! Soooo happy." —Sara W.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors).
23. A plush blanket reviewers swear by as the ultimate Barefoot Dreams comp, matching the quality, ridiculous softness, and durability without the big ole yikes of a price tag.
Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 16 styles and two sizes).
24. 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.
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. You can read my full review of the Leejie electric lighter for more deets!
Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this on a TikTok. Knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite3012
"I love this electric lighter, I find that lighting candles is a lot easier and safer with this lighter. Because it’s rechargeable, I’ll never have to buy another regular lighter again, thus saving money, which is always a good thing! It's also extremely well made. I highly recommend getting this lighter!" —Janell
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors).
25. An affordable, reviewer-beloved robot vacuum (aka the cheaper version of a Roomba) you're going to love so much that you give it a name and treat it like a household pet. This reliable bb is designed to fit in tight corners and under small spaces to really deep clean the floors, has sensors to prevent it from bumping or falling, and can even be scheduled via a remote control so it'll just start cleaning whenever it best suits your fancy. Oh! It also automatically recharges itself when it's done.
Promising review: "This robo vac is the real deal. I bought one for my Mom for Christmas and bought one for myself afterward. It works as good, if not better, than the Roomba I had for a cheaper price! It picks up great and the slim size allows it to fit underneath a lot of unreachable places. My daughter, my cats, and I all shed a lot — not a problem anymore. The suction is really impressive and it’s picked up things a regular sweeper would have problems with. I honestly have no complaints at all on the Eufy boost IQ. You won’t regret buying this one!" —Lisa M.
Get it from Amazon for $139.79 (clip the $60 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in two colors).
26. A citrus-scented foaming car upholstery cleaner, because sometimes we get a little bit lawless with our Slurpees and/or Taco Bell sauces and reinforcements have to be called in for a deep clean. Skip the expensive cleaning service — this will work on your seats *and* door panels to easily lift up food, beverage, sweat, and body oil stains.
Check out a TikTok of the car upholstery cleaner in action.
Promising review: "So I had a spot on my dash that I wanted to clean and grabbed this stuff because I figured my car could use some TLC over the years. Well, I went to clean one small part and ended up almost detailing the entire inside of both front and back driver and passenger side doors. It worked so well, so fast, and smelled so good that I couldn't stop. My car looks brand-new!" —Michael
"So, I have a toddler who tends to get a little heavy handed with her drinks in her car seat. There was pretty heavy staining and saturation that had built up around and underneath her car seat. However, this stuff pulled those stains out with such little effort. I diluted 8:1 and used the stuff drill brush to soften up the stains. I then used a shop vac to pull up the excess. After that, I went back over and resaturated and simply vacuumed again without drilling. It pulled even more up that time around. In summary, I can't imagine anything that removes hard stains with such ease at such an affordable price. Professional detailing can be expensive. You can save money by using Chemical Guys products and, if you're like me, the process and results are cathartic." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
27. A pair of super-comfy period-proof underwear designed to hold two tampons' worth of period blood that's *way* cheaper than the leading brands. Not only are these a great alternative to pads and tampons, 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 period-proof undies 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. You can read the rest of my review on Bambody period underwear for more deets!
Psst — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "These are WONDERFUL!! They are super comfortable, soft, have a mild compression to them, breathable, great coverage, not bulky at all, and super absorbent!! You don’t get that metallic blood scent coming through either which I was super skeptical about. So the packaging states that they recommend using these as a backup to another period product like a cup, but I tested the hell out of these babies for my entire period as the only form of protection and left my cup in its drawer. I’m in my 30s. I’m not a super-heavy bleeder but I do have fairly heavy days. For the test I used one panty per day (24 hours) and never once had a leak, wetness feel, smell, felt uncomfortable, or had bulkiness. When I rinsed them out in the sink after the 24-hour test the amount of blood was astonishing. As you rinse it there’s definitely that old-blood kind of metallic smell. Then I just washed them on the gentle cycle and air dried them. Super easy, does take a long time to air dry though. I’ll likely buy more so that I can have daytime and nighttime sets." —Becky
Get it from Amazon for $15.90+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, two colors, and in three-packs).
28. Maybelline's Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush, which is basically an affordable version of Glossier's Cloud Paint. TBH, you'll love this so much you'll wanna buy it in every shade — it spreads on your cheeks like finger paint and requires truly NO strategizing to blend.
I'm a Glossier Cloud Paint stan so I'll continue to buy it, but I love this affordable option, too! It spreads on super easily and can either go on sheer or build for a bolder effect. I got the Rose Flush shade and enjoy it for ~everyday wear~ since it's so easy to squirt a bit on my fingers, swirl it into my cheeks, and be on my merry way. It lasts all day and looks super natural to boot!
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this, but decided to try it since the price is so good. This is very pigmented, spreads easily, and is a decent size (.27 ounces vs. .33 for Cloud Paint). And it's a third of the price." —Heather Kulper
Get it from Amazon for $7.90 (available in six shades).
29. A power scrubber brush you can attach to a DRILL (!!) that basically does all of the hard grime busting for you, so you don't have to hire a TaskRabbit to conquer all the mysterious gunk and grime around your home.
Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments.
Promising review: "So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." —A. Givens
"I use the three brushes included with my 20V Dewalt drill. It removed grout haze from tile as well as the shower doors and our white shower. I would pay a housecleaner $150 a week to scrub my bathroom because we are on well water and has a lot of rust in it. It was never sparkling until I bought these amazing brushes. They have saved me so much time and money I am looking to purchase more brushes for different projects." —Duer's RV Rentals
Psst – each of the different brush colors indicates which tasks the brushes are meant for based on their bristle type, so be sure to check which one is best suited for whatever you need to for! Yellow is the “all-purpose” medium bristle, but some are softer and harder depending on what types of surfaces you’re cleaning (but none of them will scratch!).
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six styles).
30. An egg bite maker so you can flex on Starbucks and Costco and all the other places where you're paying top dollar for fresh or frozen egg bites by — gasp?? — customizing and making your own for cheap. Bonus: you can take the silicone molds off of it and use it as a regular grill for sandwiches!
Check out a TikTok of the egg bite maker in action.
Psst — a lot of folks also use these for pancake and protein pancake bites!
Promising review: "I bought this in hopes to make egg bites similar to Starbucks and I have not been disappointed. I chose this one after reading reviews on the smaller four-bite size. I have used it multiple times and have had excellent results each time. I followed the recipe in the booklet and used a tip from another reviewer that suggested to triple the cottage cheese amount. It’s very easy to use and clean." —April124
"I work pretty much work 13 days straight and this egg bite maker is perfect for meal prepping so I can stay on the go. It also saves me money by not going through any drive through to get a quick breakfast." —Catherine Gomez
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors).
31. 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.
TBH, at the start of the pandemic I started using this myself (although this is former BuzzFeeder 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: "Throughout high school I never knew how to do makeup. But then I heard this product was the absolute best on TikTok. And trust me, they were not lying. It has really good coverage and hides my 'raccoon eyes.' And the best part is that a little bit goes a long way. So if you’re starting out or want to try something new I definitely recommend you try this out." —Liela Lee
"This is the first concealer I’ve found that blends well, doesn't cake or dry in creases. Erases dark circles very nicely. 10/10 recommend. Works just as well as high-end concealers. Save your money and buy this." —Sandra Burch

32. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser that keeps sandwich bread fresh by ensuring it stays *way* more airtight than it does in just the bag alone, and also lets you use the bread bag in a clever way to dispense slices one by one. Tons of reviewers are noting how much longer their bread stays fresh. (And how much easier it is to store without worrying about it getting smushed!)
Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes in unique household products.
Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.
Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig
"I'm a widow and most times throw out bread because it dried out before I could get through the whole loaf. Now I can use it because the whole loaf stays fresh to the end. I love it because it saves me money!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.49.
33. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner with a *MAJOR* fan following of parents and pet owners — this compact, super portable powerhouse uses warm water and a special formula to make stains from grass, mud, pet accidents, food, and all your other home-related shenanigans look like they never even happened, so you can call off pricier solutions that never work out in the end.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99!
Promising review: "I wish I had taken photos since I was amazed at the results honestly. I bought my car about a year ago and it had stains all over the seats — I didn’t want to pay $300+ for them to be cleaned since I’m a college student so I just waited. My sister saw a TikTok video or something about this machine and while I was doubtful that it would work since some of these stains have been there for who knows how long I finally bought it cause I spilt a blue slushee over my car seats. Lo and behold I now have a car with no stains whatsoever! I wish I had gotten it sooner!! I wish I would’ve taken before and after pics but I’ll try and upload some of how it looks now at some point! But 15/10 recommend!!" —jovana montoya
"This little machine is strong and cleans like a pro. Stains are lifted right up. The scented fragrance left my furniture smelling so clean. I'm saving money. I have had professional cleaners come to my home and they're costly. Love this little machine." —Esmelinda
Get it from Amazon for $122.09.
34. An Erase-A-Hole putty that's basically an $11 investment in keeping your walls (and more importantly, your security deposit!!) in tact no matter *how* ambitious your decorating gets. This easy three-step process will have the walls looking brand spanking new in no time flat.
Promising review: "Recommended off TikTok and I love. I didn’t realize how many holes were in the walls until I got this product! Easy to use and good filling. Much better than a tub of spackle for small fixes." —Leigh Helsel
"SAVED ME SO MUCH MONEY!!! Okay, I lived in an apartment with scratches, and holes everywhere! From moving in and out, and just aged old dry wall. So, I bought this, and put globs on the wall. It worked! The manager said the place looked great and I got my deposit back!" —Jimmy
Get it from Amazon for $11.89.
