    32 Splurgeworthy Products With Such Good Reviews You'll Know They're Worth Every Penny

    You know the jeans are worth the $$$ when they're chic as heck but feel light as clouds.

    1. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker that magics any frozen fruit into an ice cream or sorbet texture so you can have a yummy frozen treat made to your *precise* favorite fruit combos. 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

    Get it from Amazon for $39.98

    2. BYO Blush Oil, which is the ultimate in easy-to-use makeup because it practically does all the work *for* you — its color is designed to react to the pH of your skin, giving you a wholly personalized look without any extra work. TBH, it's no wonder this is one of their bestselling prods.

    Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in environmentally friendly, cruelty-free makeup made with at least 90% renewable ingredients.

    Fun fact: All of Youthforia's makeup is designed with ingredients that make it A-OK for your skin to sleep with it on! 

    Check out a TikTok of the BYO Blush in action. 

    I tried this out myself and I have to say, it is WILD watching it adjust to your skin's pH in real time. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread — a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long lasting, too — I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day. 

    Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer

    Get it from Youthforia for $36 or Amazon for $35.99

    3. A "holy grail" Coop Home Goods pillow designed for side, back, *and* stomach sleepers to get the best shut-eye of their lives. This medium-firm pillow has an entirely adjustable memory foam fill so you can mold it to the exact firmness, size, and shape you need. In other words: this is the One Pillow that will serve you well for a long, long time.

    Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game changer. I’m a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." —MT

    Get it from Amazon for $72+ (available in two sizes and three shapes). 

    4. A Stealth core trainer that turns exercising into a *game* so you can trick your body into working out by occupying your brain with the business of "stealth speed gliding" and "galaxy adventure," which are just two of the catchy games in this system that help work your core.

    Amazon

    Stealth Fitness is a small business that specializes in unique at-home fitness equipment. 

    Here's what BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower says about this gizmo: "Getting a Stealth board was the very best thing that has happened to me during quarantine. Mixing the fun of games on your phone with the natural endorphins you get from exercising is, to put it lightly, genius. I have two in my home, and my husband and I compete daily to see who can last the longest. My favorite game is the paragliding challenge; he's into the planet-blasting space adventure. Nerd."

    Promising review: "Fantastic purchase to solve the boring plank exercises after a year of doing them. This has a quick, easy, simple hit-it-and-forget-it daily with a game, three minute max, and great results. Much improved core strength, reduce lower back pain, and a high five from my doctor. Highly recommend this for those in need of core build up and help managing the time to fit this into a daily schedule." —James Corey

    Get it from Amazon for $149.

    5. 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.

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $109.59.  

    6. A pressure relief seat cushion that is basically a longterm investment in your entire human body, particularly if you're someone who gets uncomfy sitting for long hours at a desk or behind the wheel. The extra dense foam is designed specifically to ease hip, tailbone, coccyx, and sciatica pain. 

    Promising review: "Changed my life. I work from home and sit at my desk nine hours during the week and four on Saturdays. I had so much pain in my tail bone sometimes I could hardly stand after sitting all day. Since receiving cushion (which arrived on time and is as described), I have had about 90% pain relief. I was hesitant to order because of the price, but it is worth every penny. I take it on flights and road trips and am considering buying another one to leave in my vehicle." —Poboie

    Get it from Amazon for $72.99

    7. A ridiculously soft, pretty pastel Essential Hoodie from Pond LA, which is basically what happens when a cozy sweater and and a sleeping mask join forces to create the ultimate lightweight piece you can use for everything from light naps to full-on workouts. Not to mention...it's got a secret kangaroo pocket 🦘.

    Pond LA

    Pond LA is a California-based woman-owned, Asian-owned independent product design studio that produces in small, handmade batches from fabrics sourced in Los Angeles.

    Promising review: "I fly a lot and am constantly trying to find a hoodie with a big hood to cover my eyes so I can catch up on some beauty sleep on flight. I saw this product on Instagram and knew it would be a game changer. I was able to use it recently for the first time on an early morning flight and let me tell you, it is EVERYTHING I was looking for and more. It’s comfy, cozy, oversized and the eye covers make you feel like you’re in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane. My over ear headphone fit perfectly under it and I got the best sleep I’ve had on a plane — EVER! Like other reviews have said it is big so size down if you want something a little more snug. I have been wearing it everyday at home and can’t wait to get the black and blush one!" —Heather G.

    Get it from Pond LA for $102.40 (originally $128; available in women's sizes XS–L and three colors).

    8. A Waterpik water flosser basically tailor made for anyone with sensitive teeth or gums — this deep cleans super effectively and gently, and is actually *more* effective than ordinary floss at improving gum health. People with braces and permanent retainers also swear by this to get to hard-to-reach spots.

    Promising review: "Extremely quiet and well worth the money. I've been having problems with my gums bleeding and my teeth are too crowded and tight to comfortably floss, so I decided to go with a water jet plaque cleaning system. I decided on this one because it looks sleek (I got it in black), had good reviews and had all the accessories... so I took a shot. I use warm water and mouth wash in the hopper and after only a few days my gums are not bleeding anymore. My mouth feels similar to how it does after I leave the dental hygienist after every use ... love it. If you get this one I recommend using the toothbrush attachment because it massages the gums as it passes and controls the water splatter so is therefore less messy." —CAM

    Get it from Amazon for $71.99+ (available in five colors).

    9. A towel warmer the entire family will welcome into your home like it's the newest (and new favorite) member — there's nothing quite like coming in from the cold and stepping into a warm robe, toasty PJs, or a cozy warm blanket, and with this machine you can experience it *all*.

    Promising review: "This does an awesome job of keeping up to two bath sheet sized towels warm. Several time settings. This is awesome to get out of the shower and have. I won’t go back to not having heated towels — it’s amazing!" —Anne Bowman

    Get it from Amazon for $148+ (available in four colors).

    10. A durable, Shark Tank–featured Rumpl outdoor blanket made to withstand the chill — it's light enough for easy transport, but puffy and insulated in case you want to convert it into a snuggling blanket. Bonus: The outside is made with a ripstop polyester fabric to keep it weatherproof, and it's fully machine-washable and dryer-friendly!

    Rumpl is an Oregon-based small business specializing in outdoor blankets that donates a portion of its revenue to environmental nonprofits.

    Promising review: "I've used it in Wisconsin to continue having outdoor hangouts with my friends during Coronatime. It's that extra cozy layer for patio dining and porch sitting. Packs down tight to keep in the car for impromptu outdoor happy hour!" —Julie K.

    Get it from on Amazon for $125+ (available in 12 colors) or from Rumpl for $125 (available in 30+ colors).

    11. Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation for light, easy coverage that's working overtime not just as makeup, but for skin health, too — on top of the protective SPF, it's formulated with squalane to help skin's hydration and elasticity and hyaluronic acid to improve moisture levels. Basically it's light foundation, but give it superpowers.

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. I’ve never been a foundation person, a little bit of a light concealer under the eyes is usually as far as I’ll go. Recently I’ve noticed more redness and wanted a product that added a light veil for a more cohesive base. This is perfect! So natural looking and it feels good. It’s also nice that there are skincare ingredients including sunscreen so I feel like I’m doing something good for my skin while making it look better. I don’t think I’ll need to replace it anytime soon since you only need a small amount, but when I do I will definitely be repurchasing!!" —hal3ymac4

    Get it from Sephora for $48

    12. 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. Parents especially love having this in their back pockets for traveling!

    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 $69.99.

    13. A retro-style pixel art game Bluetooth speaker so beloved by reviewers that a ton of them are gifting it to loved ones. It serves not just a speaker, but as a tiny canvas to make your own pixel art, a retro game console, an alarm clock, and even a white noise machine. Oh — and any designs you make on the pixel art screen can dance along to the music you play!

    Check out a TikTok of the retro Bluetooth speaker in action. 

    Promising review: "Sound quality and durability is very good! I like the ability to change the artwork on the cover, the ability to change the brightness of the image, the ability to change the volume of the startup/connect/disconnect, the auto-shutoff and auto-sleep mode toggles, and the ability to set multiple alarms (available on the app only, sadly, not out of the box). There's surprisingly a lot you can do with such a seemingly simple device, and it's made more than a great replacement alarm clock for me, which is initially what I bought it for. Highly recommend if you've got the extra coin to spend on something cute, fun, and practical!" —Soul Breaker

    Get it from Amazon for $84.92 (get this price by clipping the 15% off coupon on the product page; available in six colors). 

    14. A user-friendly Click & Grow Indoor Herb Garden Kit, which is basically a ~smart garden~ you can grow right in your kitchen window, thanks to the handy LED grow lights that keep your plants thriving no matter how gloomy outside gets. Plus, this is truly choose-your-own-adventure — you can select grow pods for cilantro, basil, lavender, wild strawberries, thyme, chili peppers, and more. 

    Each Click & Grow kit comes with three basil pods to start you off, and you can check out the full selection of grow pods for more options! 

    Promising review: "The Click & Grow Smart Garden is very easy to setup and has fairly minimal upkeep. Place pods in, fill up with water and turn on light. The lettuce has grown exceptionally well. My grandkids love to check it out when they come to visit. I am considering gifting Click and Grow Smart Gardens to them. It is straightforward and sets you up to be a successful gardener no matter your experience level. I wanted to grow some herbs and vegetables in the winter. I love the Click & Grow!" —Kbaumg

    Get it from Amazon for $79.96 (available in three colors). 

    15. A compact, low noise ice maker perfect for anyone who identifies as an Ice Gremlin, which is to say anyone who craves those perfect little nuggets in their iced coffees and sodas or needs them for their smoothies. This trusty gizmo will have 70–80 cubes at your fingertips and will alert you whenever you need more water or the machine needs cleaning.

    Promising review: "We desperately needed a way to have more ice at our summer home, and this was the best purchase we’ve made to fix this! So easy to use and continually makes ice all day like we want it. We put the ice into the freezer as it continues to make it, so we never run out! So much better than constantly making trips to the gas station and spending money on bags of ice! So worth the purchase!" —Jackie

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two colors).

    16. A quick-heating Fellow electric kettle so chic that the minimalist in you will *sing* when you see it perched on your counters. It's as handy as it is beautiful, too — its chic gooseneck is designed for an optimum flow rate for pourovers, its temperature settings will let you get *highly* specific about how warm you want the water too be, and you can toggle the base to keep the water at the precise temp you want for up to an hour.

    Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and having to heat it up again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." —Emily A.

    Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in 10 colors and styles) or from Amazon for $165+ (available in seven styles). 

    17. A "crush-proof" July carry-on suitcase that you might actually develop a crush on? Not only is it designed for easy maneuvering, it comes with an ejectable battery to charge your gadgets, a compression system so you don't have to play the "smush everything in here, so help me god" game, and even features a sneaky odor-proof laundry bag.

    Promising review: "I've been looking for a carry-on replacement for some time. My last carry-on was from 2007, so it was super old and not very good. Now that I have my July Carry On, I couldn't be more pleased. It's so good from functionality to style. I love the laundry bag — it's great that I don't have to remember to take my own separate laundry bag with me anymore — and the charging is so useful. The wheels are silent and smooth — so much so that on the slightest decline the bag will 100% roll away from you. The bumpers are a bit scratched after some use, but it's hardy/designed to protect what's inside, and I accept that there will be some of that happening on long-haul flights. I really enjoy the personalization as well — I had my name and a little frog etched on the top — so cute!" —Ameeka N.

    Get it from July for $295 (available in 15 colors; plus you can add personalization for $50).

    18. 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 feels a bit pricey, but well worth it considering the fun, variety and novelty. The drinks are good!" —Pepstero

    Get it from Amazon for $349.99.

    19. A high end sound machine that never ever ever loops, bless its technological heart, and has soundscapes so satisfyingly realistic that Dream You will be like, "Um, am I the main character swimming under this rushing waterfall/burrowed by this crackling fireplace/frolicking through this lush meadow?" Bonus — it's also adaptive and changes its volume and mix based on what it hears in your environment.

    Adaptive Sound Technologies is a small business established in 2009 specializing in sound technology for personal care. 

    Psst — it's compatible with speakers *and* headphones, so if you're sharing the room you don't have to subject your partner to it.

    Promising review: "I have suffered from insomnia all my life, and have found if I fall asleep listening to something I sleep better. I tried falling asleep to the TV, but invariably around 3 a.m., I would wake up listening to infomercials. Then, while traveling, my husband and I stayed in a very nice hotel that had this product in our room. I tried it, and slept like a baby the whole time we were there! I knew I had to have one at home, and ordered this as soon as we got home. I love that it has so many different sounds to choose from, as well as volume adjustment. You can leave it on all night or set the timer to shut off. This is a fantastic product, and while not inexpensive, in my opinion, well worth the money." —Tamstrat

    Get it from Amazon for $89.95+ (available in two colors and two designs).

    20. A compact rolling desk bike pretty much guaranteed to keep even the most restless among us on task. Sorry @ your actual desk.

    This desk bike is also height adjustable so you can get your perfect fit with the tray, and has "whisper quiet" pedaling, eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, RPM, and other stats.

    Promising review: "I saw this in TikTok and I bought it. No regrets! I’ve used this almost daily since I got it. I’m moving way more than I did before. The tabletop part is a little loose but that might be from me leaning on it too much. It wasn’t originally like that. I haven’t looked into tightening it. This is 10 out of 10 recommended for someone who's looking to move more!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $399.99 (clip the $100 off coupon on the product page for this price). 

    Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works. It's been liked over 1.8 million times!

    21. A custom embroidered book clutch you can get in any book cover you choose, because sometimes you want people to judge you by your cover. Especially if that cover is a Jane Austen classic.

    22. A pair of delightfully breezy Allbirds sneakers reviewers absolutely swear by in all directions for comfort, versatility, and style. These are especially great warm-weather options because the environmentally-conscious eucalyptus tree fibers make them suuuuuper breathable.

    Promising review: "Just spent a week in Paris, and these were the most comfortable shoes for hours of sightseeing and trekking around the city every day! My feet were happy, and they looked so cute with jeans and casual skirts, and were easy to keep clean, too. My new favorite shoes!" —Jessica G.

    Get it from Allbirds for $105 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in 11 colors).

    Promising review: "I switched to boxed wine as my town no longer recycles glass and I felt horrible just throwing the bottles away. As much as I like my faves (Black Box Cab and Bota Nighthawk Black), the boxes looked crummy. This fixed all that! It looks great sitting on my butler's pantry shelf against the liquor bottles. Very fun! Note, you will remove the bag of wine from the box and set it inside, the the shape of your box doesn't matter. A+!" —AmandaFMascio

    Get it from Amazon for $67.99 (available in five colors). 

    24. A wire-free, motion-detecting Noorio security camera you can use indoors or outdoors to keep an eye on things remotely and deter ~unwanted visitors~ with spotlights and two-way talk capabilities. The real perks of this gizmo, though, are the six-month rechargeable battery life and how simply it is to install, with a flexible magnetic base that makes it easy to plant just about anywhere.

    Promising review: "One of the best purchases I have made, super convenient to use and install, great pictures and recordings. Has a SD card already installed so no need to spend extra money. The customer support is outstanding, easy to reach and very helpful. One thing to note is that to capture all recordings, you need to enable both motion and person detections. I had it set on only person to limit notifications but it missed a few recordings of me going in and out of the house for some reason. I haven’t had any trouble getting a recording now after enabling both. Best of all, there are no hidden and monthly fees, don’t have anybody hassling or forcing you to subscribe in order to view more recordings. I will buy another." —David

    25. The Always Pan from Our Place, which is perfect for anyone who has big culinary ambitions, but needs a (highly functional!) nudge. This BuzzFeed-beloved nonstick pan is actually eight pieces of cookware in one, and is designed braise, sear, steam, strain, sauté, fry, boil, serve, and store. Basically, if you can dream it, you can cook it in this bb.

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Taylor Steele has to say about the Always Pan: "As someone who neither enjoys cooking nor is particularly good at it, I find that the Always Pan has made being in the kitchen feel like less of a chore. Having one pan that can do everything means I don't have to second-guess every cooking decision I make. I can boil and prepare pasta in it. And I can roast Brussels sprouts. And I can make the perfect fried egg. And I can steam dumplings. The best part is that everything slides so seamlessly out of the pan and onto the plate, which also makes clean up super fast and easy. Both the amateur (read: reluctant) cook and the more seasoned chef will enjoy creating fan favorites and new recipes in the Always Pan!"

    Also, BuzzFeeders LOVE this pan. Here's our review of the Always Pan, in which seven members of our team weigh in everything they love about it, from the nonstick coating to the versatility to the ~aesthetic~.

    28. Madewell's Curvy Perfect Vintage Jean, which reviewers love for all the structure and look of a classic jean with allll the stretch and comfort of — well, *not* jeans. Plus it's very clear this old school, '90s-inspired cut isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

    Reviewers warn these tend to run large, so you may want to consider sizing down! 

    Promising review: "I get overwhelmed by jeans. I hate jeggings. And I hate very structured uncomfortable jeans. Although I have strong opinions about jeans, I also love throwing on a pair and wearing button up shirts for my job as professor. It is kind of a uniform for me. Basically I am a mess of a person, whose standards are too high, but Madewell has found a way to do it. I find that this fit and wash are really great for me. I do not have to worry about them looking unprofessional because they are dark but also not dark to the point my jack Russell terriers hair is prominently apparent. I also have a curves and this fit is very accommodating for them. Good job!" —JACKRUSSELLDAIRYAIRE

    Get it from Madewell for $128 (available in women's sizes 23–33, 14W–28W, and in Tall and Petite sizes). 

    29. A Nespresso Vertuo coffee and espresso maker with a 40-ounce water well that heats up in a mere 15 seconds, because if there is one thing pre-coffee you *doesn't* have, it's patience. Reviewers also appreciate how rich and bold the coffee from this gizmo tastes compared to more "watered down" competitors, and how it senses what it's supposed to brew for each individual pod so you don't have to finagle the settings yourself. 

    Promising review: "I like iced coffee with high caffeine. This fits the bill perfectly and is a joy to use and drink. My Starbucks monthly bill has come down considerably after buying this unit, and I'm ready to hit the ground running that much sooner in the morning. I especially enjoy the self cleaning feature and the ability to run it for smaller or larger cup sizes. Truly a premium product." —David T.

    Get it from Amazon for $170+ (available in three colors, plus in bundle options with the Aeroccino milk frother).

    30. A bubble tent so no amount of weather can rain on your parade — this is an excellent solution not only to protect your backyard furniture, but to guarantee you can enjoy the ~great outdoors~ even when they're particularly wet or full of bugs (*shakes fist at every mosquito ever*).

    Promising review: "This screen house/tent was one of my most worth it purchases! This screen house is extremely sturdy and easy to use. It is very roomy, keeps the bugs out, and waterproof. If it is raining, you’ll still be able to use this through rain and hail! You can use this gazebo for all sorts of activities: camping in your backyard, camping outdoors, and even a nice little picnic!" —katrina tao

    Promising review: "I've always wanted a photography bag to put all my gear that doesn't look like the regular bulky photography bag. This is it! The Runner is discreet, super light and I can fit my X-T3 camera with a lens on, two additional lens and my compact X100F. But the most important feature to me is the laptop sleeve where I can put my 16" Macbook Pro. Great-quality bag with durable materials. Love it." —Lauriane M.

    32. A pair of night vision goggles so cool that you'll make any and every excuse to go camping or chill out in the backyard to see what kind of sights you can capture. These come equipped with lenses that not only let you see clear images in the dark, but have three modes to capture images, videos, or play back what you've seen. You can also adjust according to the light, and the anti-shaking technology helps you get super high quality images.

    Psst — you can also use this to take images and video during the day! 

    Promising review: "My husband and I are just getting into camping for retirement. These are great to take along on e-bikes, walks, kayaks, seeing the sites, etc. Love the night vision. And I wear glasses and have no problem viewing through them. I love the fact you can capture a shot of your view. I print them out later and we clip them up to lights on camper wall so we have a timeline of our trip. Definitely recommend for many applications." —Amazon Customer
