1. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller that is deeply beloved by pet owners — it's like a sticky lint roller, but specifically designed to pick up pet hair. It not only locks it in, but also stashes it inside the roller itself so you don't end up making matters worse by just shoving the hair around (instead of getting rid of it properly).
Promising review: "My cat sheds and I saw this on TikTok and very much thought of it as an impulsive purchase at first for its price tag. But no, this is a very very necessary item in my day to day life. Does it pick up every single hair leaving everything completely hairless, not really, it can be difficult to pick up hair from difficult crevices/corners and hair that's trapped within woven fabrics/upholsteries — HOWEVER — it does a wayyy wayyy better dang job than a lint roller or other products that rival this. My mother picked up something from a competitor and it did not clean up the hair as well as this did. I keep getting these for my pet-having friends as gifts because it's truly a holy grail product. I like that it picks up human hair too because as a long hair haver I can shed about as much as my cat does. It's a durable product too, I've had mine for about a year now and it still works like it used to and it's fairly easy to clean the inside." —Connie
"I don't usually review products, but when I do it's because they're either amazing or they're garbage. This product is amazing! Honestly, I didn't expect it to work, but wanted to try it anyways as it had such awesome reviews and am glad I did. It grabbed all of the cat hair in one swipe, on a chair that did not even look like it had that much cat hair. It swept it into the little bin and deposited it without creating a mess. It's incredible! I will save a ton of money. No more of those sticky lint rollers. Whoever invented this is a genius!" —Tobie

2. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth.
Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market but this one was super easy and didn’t hurt my teeth at all and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" —Victoria Bravo
"This product actually works! Very affordable too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to?" —Mona L Cureton

3. 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
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
4. 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 $18.99+ (available in five colors).
5. A cold brew coffee maker perfect for the coffee guzzler who typically gives the Starbucks mermaid all their money. 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, 4 cups of cold brew you don't have to lift a finger to make.
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.
"I love a good iced coffee, but I don’t want to break the bank spending money on it every day at a coffee shop. Buy your favorite coffee, look up recommendations for grinding coffee and save a ton of money without missing your quality caffeine. One of my favorite all time Amazon buys." —J. Luton
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes).
6. 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
"So I never spend this much on stain remover but decided to give it a try after seeing it on BuzzFeed's best buy list. I am so glad I did. It's saved multiple pieces of clothing from going in the trash (even clothes that had been previously washed with other stain removers that failed) saving me lots of money and energy. I love that you can let it sit forever and not ruin clothes (making it was more convenient). I also used it in conjunction with my wet vacuum to get a busted ink pen out of my linen couch. This is worth its weight in gold to me. It's a staple in my house." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
7. A set of extra soft cooling bed sheets so many reviewers with insomnia, night sweats, and overheating issues swear by that you might never consider buying another set of sheets again. Reviewers also are obsessed with how well these sheets wash and maintain quality over time. Bonus? These come in so many colors it's basically *impossible* not to find one to match your room's aesthetic.
Sets come with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases (with only one pillowcase included in the Twin size).
Promising review: "These are the real deal!! I found them from a TikTok and my husband actually said after the first night, 'Let’s just replace all of our sheets with these, they’re so comfortable!' It’s a beautiful blue and white pattern. They wash well and breathe at night — I am always hot but these stayed cool. Definitely buying more!" —Julia Monroe
"I always spend money for good high thread count sheets, this time I wanted to save a few bucks and try something different. I was completely shocked at the feel of these — it's not high thread count cotton feel, but it's extremely soft and pleasant. That is to say, it feels different, not worse by any means. They breathe well and manage heat just fine. I'm really pleased with these, and thrilled with the price. My last cotton set was over $100." —PhilV
Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in sizes Twin—California King and 41 colors).
8. A pair of popular cross-waist leggings heralded as the perfect 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 bought these leggings because I saw a plus size women on TikTok raving about them and thought they were cute! I read reviews and 90% of them were great so I ordered them. When I got them the next day I immediately put them on and I LOVE THEM! They are soooo soft and comfy, and not see through at all! Definitely recommend these!" —Taylor
"I want to buy more because of how nice they feel and look! I love crossover waistbands, but I didn't want to pay $80+ on leggings from Aerie, Lulu, etc. I took my chancee on buying these (I'm skeptical of buying clothing on Amazon). I'm so happy I did because they saved me so much money and they look equally as good." —Eugie
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).
9. 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).
10. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "I have tried everything on the market to fix my damaged, bleached hair that keeps breaking off. I stumbled across this hair treatment on TikTok. I had never heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I used it for the first time yesterday and I couldn't believe how amazing it made my hair feel and look. It's sooo soft, shiny, bouncy and nourished. My bleached rat's nest now looks and feels like hair again. Even my boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my hair. I’m going to buy a lot more of this product. I’ve been really frustrated about my hair for years now because of all the damage. Now I can finally relax and enjoy my new hair." —Eline
"I’ve been wanting to go to the salon to have a professional deep conditioning treatment done but decided to order this instead. I just saved a bunch of money! I can’t imagine not ever using this. My hair is so soft but yet not limp. I have coarse thick hair and this completely made my hair manageable and healthy looking." —ItsTiffanyAnne

11. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper that'll have you feeling like a golden god in your kitchen — this gadget julienne, chops, spiralizes, 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
"I prep onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc. to freeze, so I always have stuff on standby. I’ve been able to save so much time and money using this rather than purchasing pre-chopped/frozen items. When I make salsa, my husband usually ends up eating what I’ve made faster than I can cut the tomatoes. Never again! Lol." —link4pink
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price).
12. 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 $6.97 (available in four colors).
13. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods you can simply put through a cycle on the machine to get rid of all the crusted-on grinds and residue that are *definitely* affecting the taste of your coffee, even if you haven't noticed over time.
Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren
"These were amazing they actually work. And it was embarrassing what they cleaned out of our Keurig. Totally worth the money and the time they save you." —Davicia Mann
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95.
14. An AirPod cleaning pen to 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).
15. 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).
16. 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).
17. 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.
18. 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
"This thing works like magic! I have a rose-gold morganite stone set into my engagement band that hasn’t been cleaned in over two years. I took it to a professional jeweler who reccommended a $50 deep cleaning treatment. Luckily, I ended up finding this life saver on Amazon instead. It worked like a charm, and with a little elbow grease my ring looks brand new! Buy this and save yourself some cash money." —Little Brittles
Get it from Amazon for $8.29.
19. 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).
20. 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 $10.99.
21. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors you can use to take care of those lil' unibrow hairs that keep dodging your tweezers or work whatever face fuzzies you might want to take care of in a gentle way.
This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and was skeptical but they work so well. I use them for any facial peach fuzz and to shape my eyebrows and they're perfect." —Megan Kopicko
"I used to pay to get my eyebrows, lower face, and upper lip threaded but after finding this five years ago, I gave it a try and absolutely love it. Not only has it saved me money but I also get better results, as threading salons often times overdid it with my eyebrows and left them very thin. For those who don’t know, this product does the same thing as the dermaplane or dermablade treatments that spas and salons charge a lot of money for." —Diana
Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.94.
22. 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).
23. 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 have sore arms for a week just because you dared to wipe down the shower.
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).
24. An oh-so-chic adjustable mini belted pack (aka ~fanny pack~) you can wear around your waist or shoulder for a lightweight bag alternative when you're on the move. Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this is an excellent Lulu comparison!
Promising review: "TikTok told me this was a lookalike for Lululemon, and it’s true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can’t beat it." —Jolie
"We all are familiar with the athleisure brand that made the belt bag what it is today. This is a PERFECT version and is super cute and functional. I like the wide strap and sturdy buckle, and the bag itself is the perfect size. I've only had it a few days and have worn it EVERYWHERE. I've already gotten a few compliments on it. So glad I invested in this one and saved some money too!" —barefootkate
Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (available in 26 styles).
25. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher to turn virtually *any* device with a press-able "on/off" switch into smart tech in an instant. Once you adjust the device over the button — be it a light switch, a switch to turn on your kettle, or a switch to turn on a fan — you can ask Alexa or Google Home to turn it off or on, or control it via an app on your phone.
Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed!
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin
"Absolutely my new favorite gadget! I retrofitted my Mitsubishi thermostat (which isn’t Nest compatible), and it hits the on/off button for me as if I have a remote!!! The AC technician quoted me $600+ to install a receiver and remote for the AC, I saved $600 by buying switch bot. Going to buy more units for other things." —man shing ou yang

26. 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).
27. 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

28. 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).
29. 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 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.
30. A shampoo scalp massager you can use in the shower to scrub your scalp faster and more efficiently, particularly if you have long nails or acrylics you're trying to protect. Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this has also helped with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness!
I started using one of these a few months ago 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. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice.
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
"Might not make you smarter but it will save you money and that’s smart!! Definitely helps get to the scalp to massage away the dry dead skin or dandruff!! I use way less than my usual amount of shampoo or conditioner, the scalp massager lifts your hair when lathering giving you a fuller richer foam to wash with!" —Candida Weber
Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (available in three colors).
31. 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.
32. A delightfully practical Stojo collapsible travel cup (with a straw!) you can use to drink coffee or water on the go — reviewers love that it collapses to a teensy, easy-to-store size, and that you can easily reheat it in the microwave, unlike other travel mugs.
Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action.
Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics.
Promising review: "I take my lunch to work and during mid day I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. It seals well so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt. It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily too. If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you. But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years." —ViciousCycle
"It saves you a ton of money in an airport. I used it for a trip. So handy to carry in my bag." —Donna
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in six sizes and 24 colors).
33. 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?
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).
34. A cereal dispenser to *deeply* enhance your morning cereal and midnight snacking adventures — this eliminates the hassle and bulky storage of cereal boxes, *plus* keeps the contents super fresh and makes it easy to dispense exactly how much you need. Families also swear by these as an easy way for kids to grab their own snacks!
Check out a TikTok of the cereal dispenser in action.
Promising review: "We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space!!! We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I've been trying to declutter and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter, and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!" —tenle
"I have 3 kids (7–12) and they would always leave cereal boxes out open leaving a mess or stale cereal. Gave this a try and it's great! The kids love it and I no longer have a mess every morning! Also I can buy bulk cereal which saves some money!" —Dylan Lang
Get it from Amazon for $28.42.
35. A rapid egg cooker that I am warning you right now is going to become your most meaningful relationship. It can make soft-, medium-, *and* hard-boiled eggs in addition to poaching, scrambling, and making omelets out of them. This gizmo is, like, a thousand potential brunches and meal preps in one.
I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what 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: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina
"I was a little skeptical about buying this at first but it is one of my most favorite items now. It’s so easy to add a little water in the tray, pop your eggs in there, and let them cook for seven minutes while you get ready for work in the morning! The eggs cook and peel perfectly!! Saves time and money. Very happy with this purchase." —Judy Kidd
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in eight colors).
36. 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.
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 $109.59.
37. A five-shelf hanging closet organizer to streamline your closet's aesthetic, which was previously "oops, how did all of these sweaters end up on the floor again?"
Promising reviews: "WOW, TikTok for the win again — this saved me SO MUCH space for organizing my leggings and jeans." —ESmith1090
"I needed to buy a second large dresser but did not want to shell out for one. Instead, I bought two of these closet organizers, which saved me both considerable money and space in my room! Plenty of space for pants and sweaters, and I managed to wrangle a giant pile of athletic clothes into a single slot in this organizer. I even still have two empty slots left over! I can now see everything in my closet easily. These were very easy to assemble. My closet has the backward hanging design, and this worked perfectly." —Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $12.87 (available in eight colors).
38. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop, aka the MVP of CleanTok. This mop is machine washable and has an automatic wringer so there are no hands involved, is designed to reach into deep corners for a thorough clean, and is made with a fabric so effective that — gasp — you don't even need chemical cleaners. You can just get the dirt and grime up with water.
Promising reviews: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog who makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) Within an hour. A few days later, I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it’s a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it’s fun. MAJOR BONUS!" —Molly
"I hate cleaning the floors. This mop makes it easy and dare I say ... fun? Took all of five seconds to set up the mop and get to cleaning. The bucket is well made and the spinner works great. This saves buckets of money as well instead of using costly Swiffer pads and spray." —Mollyblair
Get it from Amazon for $34.97.
39. A set of bedsheet fasteners to lock your fitted sheets neatly into place once and for all, so you can finally get the peaceful, untangled sleep you deserve every night.
Promising reviews: "I love these! Since I started using them my sheets haven’t popped off once and that used to be a multiple times a night problem I had because I toss and turn when I sleep. Thank you TikTok!" —Gabby
"Oh my gosh, these saved me from giving away a few comforter sets. My husband complained as did I that our sheets wouldn't stay on our bed at night. We have a four-inch memory foam pad, and while it's lovely the sheets won't stay on. These straps keep the sheets snugly on the bed and I saved a ton of money." –Meagan C.
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three colors).
40. An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges for expert-level blending and coverage that reviewers have crowned a Beauty Blender comp. It works for foundation, BB cream, powder, *and* concealer, plus wet or dry, so basically it's working harder than I have for *checks watch* my whole life.
Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy these. I was using the Real Technique sponges for years and I bought these on a whim after seeing several TikToks praising these. I love these sponges and the price. I apply liquid foundation with a damp sponge and these work better than Real Techniques. They are dense but soft and 'bouncy.' I wash mine between each use and these hold up very well and much better than the RT. Very happy with my purchase and the price. Will definitely continue to buy." —chris
"These are AMAZING!! I’m so glad I found them. I was previously using the L’Oréal beauty sponge and it was about the same price for ONE and with these I get a whole pack. Saving so much money and the quality is amazing. I actually like these better than the L’Oréal sponge because they are shaped like the beauty blender and are great quality!! 11/10 recommend." —Kate

41. A set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep.
Promising review: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn’t frizzy or dull looking when I get up in the morning." —Aaron Key
"I bought this to keep my wavy hair from getting so frizzy while I sleep. Much to my surprise, it actually works! My daughter uses one as well for her curly hair. Silk may work better, but this satin pillowcase works just fine for my hair and saves me money!" —Poole Family
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 23 colors and four sizes).
42. A set of short soft gel nail tip extensions so natural feeling that you'll forget they weren't ~homegrown~, if you will. These are designed with a thin edge and a thick tip to seamlessly fit onto your nail bed, and don't require filing *or* a base coat, making them easy time-savers for at-home manis. Reviewers especially love the longevity of these, saying they last 3–4 weeks.
Promising review: "I ran out and decided to try this after seeing it on TikTok, and will now stick to this glue if I run out. These lasted three weeks the first use and probably would've lasted longer if I didn't remove them to change up the color style." —Kayla
"Just received my glue and nails. I put them on today and so far I love them. They seem very sturdy. They are very easy to put on. I hope they last a decent amount of time because if they do I will be ordering again and again. Saves so much time and money versus going to a salon. I just need to paint them and I’ll be happy." —samantha
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in ten styles).
43. 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
"This is the perfect addition to my kitchen. I love how easy it is to use and the fact that it only takes a few minutes to make delicious, healthy frozen treats. It has saved me a ton of time and money. The machine is very easy to use and the output is delicious. It's great for making healthy treats that taste like ice cream without all of the added sugar. I love that it doesn't take up too much space on my countertop, plus it's a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream." —whatnextk
Get it from Amazon for $39.98.
44. A mini fridge people are using for a whole rainbow of ridiculously convenient things — some use it to keep cool bevvies in their bedrooms and offices, others to keep their beauty products cool, and some even take it in their cars to keep food, breast milk, or insulin cold, since it can operate on a USB.
Promising review: "Awesome!!! Another TikTok impulse buy. But it works. Now I don’t have to go out to get cold water. I already have it in my room." —wintersolstice06
"I love the mini fridge! It is in my bathroom and I keep my face serums and more expensive products that are more sensitive to light and heat. I love it because it saves me money on replacing those expensive vitamin C serums and lotions. I would definitely recommend this for sure!" —rk dunne
