Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing.

Get it from Amazon for $30.49 (available in six styles).
5. Plus, a cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt that anyone in the movie theater industry will tell you is a perfect copycat 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 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 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 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 to 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 $9.40.

Check out a TikTok of the cocktail book in action.
Promising review: "This book has easily become one of my favorites. Great base knowledge, and I would recommend it to anyone seeking to further educate themselves on spirits and cocktails.

9. A rose-shaped ice mold you can use to impress guests while serving anything from ~aesthetic~ cocktails to iced coffee.
Promising review: "I was at a restaurant, and they put one of these roses in my cocktail. Right then, I knew I had to make these at home and order them at the restaurant. These are easy to fill and have rubber snaps that lock them tight. They come right out, and you can take just one out and leave the others for the next time. These are a hit at all of my dinner parties, too! I have already ordered more as my friends all want these in their drinks!" —Siri US
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

Promising review: "You don't understand TikTok made me obsess over this microphone. As a 30+ year-old woman, I resisted purchasing it. I finally broke down and bought it because it haunted me in my sleep. I'm so glad I did. When I am in a bad mood, I start karaoke in my house and am instantly better. It has 'ruined' my teenage son's life because my performances can be heard through his Xbox microphone. This is a must-have product." —Zane A. Undercoffer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (clip the $6 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in 11 colors).
11. A set of restaurantworthy shallow pasta bowls to make you feel like you're genuinely ~plating~ your guests' meals like a professional — this is like a bowl and a plate had a very stylish, SUPER convenient baby for all your pasta and salad needs.

Promising review: "Love these! Wasn’t ready to splurge on Estelle stemmed glasses so I got these instead. I’ve run them through the dishwasher once so far, and they held up fine. Glass is thin near the top, which I love in a wineglass. I would recommend!" —Tricia
Get a set of six from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four styles).
15. A Yonanas fruit soft serve maker that magics any frozen fruit into an ice cream or sorbet texture so you can serve yummy frozen treats made to your friends' *precise* favorite fruit combos, no measuring or brain power required. A lot of folks with dietary restrictions swear by this to get their ice cream kicks!
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.
Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc, close by, even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works, and I love it, so money well spent!" —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
17. A cult-favorite, luxury-inspired Muse Bath Apothecary Linen Spray reviewers swear upside down and backward for refreshing everything in their homes, from their couches to their pillows to their clothes. A lot of reviewers mentioned smelling it in someone else's home first before buying their own bottles!
Promising review: "I was first introduced to this spray when visiting friends during New Year's. It smelled so good that I ordered some as soon as I got home. I spray this on my pillow (and my comforter and blankets) right before I lay down at night. I feel it really helps me to relax and fall asleep quickly. I wish they made this scent available to be used in a room diffuser. It smells that good." —kmc6882
Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in seven scents and various spray forms).
18. A levitating planter you can use to extremely mess with your friends when they come over. "What do you mean it's spinning?" you ask, feigning concern. "Looks like a normal planter to me??"
Promising review: "Awesome little thing. Guests are immediately interested in it. If they are intoxicated, they are afraid that sorcery may be involved. I'm not sure how to convince them otherwise." —Nick Ebeling
Get it from Amazon for $68.99+ (available in two finishes).
19. A retro-style speaker with a whole circus of hidden talents — not only does this function as an old school, dial-controlled AM/FM radio, but it connects to devices via Bluetooth *and* AUX, and even serves as a wireless charging pad on the top. This beautiful gadget is the definition of "flex."
Fuse Audio is a small business that specializes in retro-style radios and vinyl record players.
Promising review: "I’m very pleased with this purchase. It has a warm sound and, unlike some other brands, doesn’t betray the retro vibe with digital volume or tuning controls. It works exactly like the old radios, but with the bonus of Bluetooth and wireless charging. I also love the details, like the side speaker vents and the feel of the volume and tuning knobs. Everything about it speaks of quality. The only thing about its appearance that tells me this isn’t an actual 1940s or '50s radio is its size, which is slightly smaller than the real McCoy." —Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.
20. A set of handcrafted cartoon cat appetizer plates so precious that you'll be sending out invites to all your friends to come over with cheese and crackers to enjoy them RIGHT MEOW.
Promising review: "The cat's meow! These dishes are perfect for nuts, candy, olives, or whatever! There is a lot of detail on the cats. The dishes are well made and sturdy." —Carol Ann W.
Get a set of four from Amazon for $24.99.
21. A portable mini projector to turn any flat wall into your personal movie theater in the blink of an eye — simply hook it up to a device like your phone or computer, and you're golden.
Promising review: "This projector can't be beat, especially for the price. The setup was really easy. I have been using it with my Roku and purchased an HDMI/USB adapter so I can use it with my phone. The picture quality is fantastic. I originally planned to use external speakers, but there is no need — the sound is great. We have had a lot of fun projecting movies onto the ceiling and outside against our garage. I am really impressed with this product, and after seeing it, several of my family members plan to buy it, too. It's a great gift — I actually bought it for a gift exchange and ended up choosing it for myself!" —Joanna
Get it from Amazon for $50.99.
22. A set of mini cheese boards complete with labeling chalk so you can play the *ultimate* host by — be still my cheese-loving heart — curating individual charcuterie boards for each of your guests.
Promising review: "What I like about this product: You can literally make any food look fancy if you were to put it on the slate. Six slates in a set means this is perfect for tapas and sushi presentations or any dry appetizer, cheese, etc. The list goes on and on to wherever your imagination leads. You can write down and label each slate with the chalk in the set. For example, you can label the kind of cheese on the slate. You can also write down whose creation it was if you were to have a sushi-making party like I did. I don’t have a single thing I don’t like about this. All I can say is this is a really good purchase. Don’t be hesitant. JUST BUY IT. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!" —I Tried & Reviewed It
Get six boards and three pieces of chalk from Amazon for $21.99.
23. Plus, a marble board wire cheese cutter to serve as half decor, half kitchen tool, and 100% the biggest hit at any wine and cheese night when you let guests slice their own cheese with it.
Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action.
Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year, and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get-togethers with friends, and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So, I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack, but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $18.76.
24. A Vintage Bookshelf Edition of Candy Land designed in a box that blends so seamlessly into your bookshelf that guests will be downright dazzled when you pull it out for game night. Psst — you can collect even more of the 12 classic games converted into "books" from the vintage collection, including Monopoly, Scrabble, and Clue!
Check out a TikTok of the Vintage Bookshelf Edition of Candyland in action.
Promising review: "I was born in 1983 and this is the EXACT version I adored and obsessed over as a young girl. Thrilled that I can share this game with my now 4-year-old daughter exactly the way I remember it. Also, the book box is amazing. Keeps all the pieces tidy and in good condition. Looks great on the shelf." —Elle MK
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
Check out the rest of the vintage game collection on Amazon.
25. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a DEEPLY beloved, fast-paced card game suitable for kids and adults that will have everyone in fits of high-stakes giggles in no time. Bonus: each game only lasts 10–15 minutes, so you can go one or a few rounds depending on how much time you've got together.
Dolphin Hat Games is a small business that specializes in family-friendly card games.
Okay, so the rules: you divvy up all the cards equally, and then all the players take turns putting down cards that have different illustrations on them, saying "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza" in order. If the card put on the table matches the word that's being said at that moment, whoever slaps a hand down on the card first gets all the cards under it. You keep playing until someone comes in possession of all the cards (or until you all start craving tacos and pizza so much you drive yourselves to the nearest combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell).
Promising review: "This game is hysterical! I played with my 7-year-old daughter and my 70-year-old father, and we all enjoyed it. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!" —bobkopolow
Get it from Amazon for $9.84.
26. A disco ball bar cart with some real "yeah, I've listened to enough ABBA to cover for literally any role in Mamma Mia at the drop of a hat" energy. This comes with a handy ~secret~ storage disco ball and wheels to easily rearrange it mid-dance party.
Glam Globes is a UK-based Etsy shop that specializes in disco-ball themed homewares.
Promising review: "10 stars! Shipping was fast, assembly was easy, and I get so many compliments on this statement piece! Would absolutely recommend and already have to anyone who asks about it." —jaz roble
Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $285.75 (available in seven colors).
27. An electric wine opener, because TBH, nobody has time to lament a cork getting stuck in their bottle and google a bunch of hacks to fix it anymore. This rechargeable BB will safely pop it open in six seconds without any of the hassle.
Promising review: "I bought this because my daughter told me she has had one for four years, and it still works great. They enjoy wine and use it. It is so comfortable to use; I have shoulder problems, so that is important. I've used it for about a month now, which is longer than the $$$ one from Williams Sonoma, which died an ugly death. And it doesn't twist forcibly and hurt my shoulder like others I've had. So I am very impressed. The accompanying foil cutter is the best I've ever had, by the way!" —Midge
Get it from Amazon for $28.82.
28. Plus, an attachable wine aerator to wizard your affordable Pinot into wine that tastes like it was hand-poured by a sommelier in the south of France who knows the rat from Ratatouille personally.
29. And a set of wineglass markers you can use not only to keep track of your drink, but leave cute lil' messages on each other's glasses. (Excuse my insufferably romantic self, but I am obsessed with the idea of someone cheekily writing "CALL ME" with their phone number on the glass right before making an early exit 😭).
You can also use these on other ceramic or glass dishware, and even mirrors!
Promising review: "These work great for stemless wine glasses. The ink dries pretty quickly, so it doesn't get all over your fingers, and it comes off easily in the dishwasher." —avid reader
Get an eight-pack on Amazon for $9.99.
30. A set of cat-themed tarot cards purrrfect to explore with friends, since it comes complete with a guide on how to pull the cards and how to interpret them.
Promising review: "Honestly, I saw this tarot deck and thought I needed this for ha ha’s. But man. This deck’s images are hilarious. It’s so much fun, and I felt drawn to it as soon as it was in my hands. I am smitten over these kittens. 😍 10000% worth the purchase!" —Kathryn Prouty
Get it from Amazon for $17.79.
31. A super-stylish vinyl record storage shelf so your guests can easily explore all your music and decide what the ~vibe~ is gonna be. (Sorry to all my friends that the options are just Taylor Swift, More Taylor Swift, and Hey, Wanna Listen To Taylor Swift?)
I bought one of these as an apartment-warming gift for my own darn self and I love it to pieces. It's compact, so it doesn't take up much space, but adds a lovely sophistication to the corner of the room. Plus it just makes me so happy to see my favorite vinyls all on display like decor, and not have to be scrambling around under the bed or on a random shelf where I used to keep them so they'd be 'safe.' This came fully constructed, too, so there was no hassle pulling it straight out of the box. These are so popular that they're constantly on backorder, so a heads up, you might have to wait a few weeks depending on what color you choose — but it is *seriously* worth it!
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $99 (originally $119; available in two styles).
32. A splurge-worthy Bartesian Premium Cocktail and Margarita Machine, which is basically like having a bartender in your home, minus the 10-minute "Hey, I'm over here??" at the edge of the bar on a Friday night. You stock this with your favorite liquors and use the mixologist-designed cocktail capsules to create flawless drinks at the touch of a button. (Psst — you can even use the touch screen to say how strong you want the cocktail 👀.)
Options include everything from margaritas, whiskey sours, and old fashioneds, and the machine even self-cleans at the end of each cocktail to prevent flavors from leaking into other drinks.
Promising review: "Finally made the purchase (TikTok did it...brilliant marketing!) as a gift to my wife. The packaging was great. Was delivered one day early and very quick. We are really enjoying the machine and sharing it with friends. Overall, it feels a bit pricey, but well worth it considering the fun, variety, and novelty. The drinks are good!" —Pepstero
Get it from Amazon for $345.
33. A wall-mounted coat rack/art piece, because why be beautiful *or* functional when you can be both?? This right here is the subtle guest-impressing flex your entryway deserves.
Check out a TikTok of the coat rack in action.
Promising review: "I bought one and was so in love with it that I immediately ordered a second one. I love the design when not in use, and when in use, it is sturdy and versatile. I get a lot of compliments from visitors." —Femke
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in three colors).
34. A handy brownie dividing pan so you can flex during the next cozy movie night by presenting your friends with perfectly crisp-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside brownies all in uniform sizes and shapes. Those chumps with ordinary pans could NEVER.
Um, I'm obsessed with this pan. I make those gooey three-layer brownies that are cookie dough on the bottom, Oreos in the middle, and either brownie or Nutella on top, and I famously underbake them because salmonella doesn't apply to me. Which is to say, usually when I make these it's a big gooey mess and my friends have to dig in with a spoon and it's less inviting for guests to take one. With this tray it was SO easy to put the batter in, stick the divider on top, and bake individual small bars. it was completely nonstick, and it was easy to pull the divider out once everything was cooked. The uniform brownies were a huge hit at a party!
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
35. A set of shatterproof solar-powered outdoor lights to add some whimsy to your backyard space without using up your electricity. Reviewers are especially impressed by how weatherproof these are, and how they continue to perform over time!
Check out a TikTok of the solar lights in action.
Promising review: "To say I love these lights would be an understatement. They’re easy to hang, great looking, bright, and they work amazingly!!! On a sunny day, these lights charge enough to stay on from sunset to sunrise. Yep! That’s right! They’re still on until sunrise. These are the only brands of solar lights that I’ve ever purchased that last that long (and I’ve gone through more than my share of solar lights.). These are DEFINITELY worth the price. You won’t be disappointed!! Btw — this is the fourth set I purchased; I love them that much. The first set I purchased is over a year old, and they’re still working as well as they did on day one." —Josie Elliot-Goforth
