    Just wait until you try this cult-favorite popcorn salt. 😍

    1. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt to bring the glorious, buttery flavor of movie theater popcorn right to your own home. Don't feel guilty when you realize you've finished half the bowl before the movie even starts — it tastes delicious and hey, you're only human.

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: 

    "Our family recently 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 single 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 by far 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 the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." —S Martinez

    2. A super chic rechargeable electric lighter that'll replace all your old (and future!) gas ones. This flameless gem is made with a long stem so you can use it to light gas burners and candles without dealing with an open flame. Reviewers even rave about its long battery life and how it makes the simple act of lighting a candle just a little more fun!

    Promising reviews: "This is the best thing ever! Everyone is getting one for Christmas this year! 😂 The charge lasts so long, too. Great product! Also, I like the safety feature of pushing the tab forward and back to ensure it doesn’t go off by itself. Great product!" —S. Daoud

    "This is now probably the coolest little gadget I own. It sounds like a very tiny taser, haha. It’s super easy to use, you just charge it, and it doesn’t take very long to charge; then when it’s done, just slide it up and hold down on the power button. That’s it. It’s also so much fun to use." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $7.22+ (available in 12 colors).

    3. A reviewer-beloved copy of Burn After Writing if you want to have your Regina George "burn book" moment in a healthy, stress-relieving way. Through a series of thought experiments and questions, this book encourages you to take a trip down memory lane so that you can better see both the meaningful feelings you should embrace and the ones you should try to let go.

    Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

    4. An Essence Lash Princess marcara, which might make you want to throw out your falsies. It gives you allll the length and volume WITHOUT the clumps and globs and has shocked reviewers with how full it leaves their lashes looking compared to other more expensive brands. It's a fan fave for a reason!

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: 

    "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

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available as a three-pack).

    5. A set of super-fine pens — not only are they perfect for note-taking, writing in your planner, or doodling mindlessly as you pretend to focus on the task at hand, but their sleek and simple design makes them a great desktop addition to any workspace.

    Perhaps most importantly for anyone out there planning to go full Leslie Knope on these is that they're designed not to bleed through thin pages!

    Promising review: "I love how this pen feels to hold and it writes beautifully! I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use and I don't remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!" —Marcia

    6. A chic coffee cup holder because the phrase "I've always got my hands full" applies both literally and figuratively.

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says:

    "I own one of these myself and love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!"

    8. A rapid veggie steamer so you can bibbidi bobbidi boo your own side dish of perfectly steamed veggies in just five minutes. This is especially ideal if you're always on the go and suddenly realize "...I haven't eaten." 😬 Veggie steamer to the rescue!

    9. A shampoo scalp massager reviewers have raved about because it helped them with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness. It exfoliates your scalp and gives you the glorious, relaxing feeling of a massage ~without~ the spa fees.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: 

    "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

    Get it from Amazon for $8.58+ (available in two colors).

    10. A Dash mini maker you'll simply adore for an at-home brunch. It heats up in minutes and has dual nonstick surfaces so that cleanup is a breeze. You can even use it for hash browns, paninis, cookies, and *drum roll*...pizza!

    Promising review: "This is the perfect easy breakfast sandwich maker. It cooks the egg perfectly (I used jumbo eggs, and it worked perfectly just like regular eggs). It’s honestly one of my personal favorite appliances. I just had a baby, and having something I can crack an egg into and let it sit to cook without having to flip and it’s done within five minutes is honestly a lifesaver, and it cleans super easy! 10/10 I love this thing; it's just like my George Foreman!" —Emily

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in six colors). 

    11. A tub of magical cleaning paste, The Pink Stuff, which is bound to earn its own labeled space in your bathroom cabinet. Seriously. The way it effortlessly removes stains, grease, and grime and leaves just about any surface shiny and scratch-free should be considered witchcraft.

    Reviewer using it to clear up hard water stains in tub
    Reviewer holding the tub

    Promising review: "When I bought my house in 2017, the upstairs bathroom had a shower that was nasty. I thought 'no problem' because I’ll just use elbow grease and clean it up. I scrubbed and scrubbed and scraped and used everything under the sun. NOTHING worked!!! UNTIL...The Pink Stuff. This stuff has done what no other cleaning product, no amount of elbow grease, no amount of cursing, no amount of anything of anything else has ever done. I’m relatively convinced it’s made with tears of the gods or just some magic that I wish I discovered years ago. My tub looks brand-new!!!" —MNee

    Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in two sizes and bundle options).

    12. A tear-off daily self-care calendar because it serves as a soothing, yet productive start to the day. No more waking up stressed with a jumble of things to do in your head. This helps you stay mindful and organized with a to-do list, affirmations, things you're thankful for, reflections, meals, and plans for self-care.

    Promising review: "I got this for my mental health when I was in a really bad place mentally and I was trying to figure out why I was having so many panic attacks. This made me feel on top of stuff and gives me something to look forward to. Super cute, super cheap, and it makes me happy." —katelyn

    Get a 50-sheet pad from Amazon for $11.99 (available in nine styles). 

    13. A reviewer-beloved teeth-whitening pen — you'll see the difference almost immediately. It's painless, minty fresh, and helps whiten your teeth after years of drinking coffee, tea, wine, and basically anything that isn't water. 🙃

    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

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.96 (also available in a four-pack).

    Promising review: "I thought this might be one of the silly things I sometimes fall for. Nope. These are awesome. I keep one on the driver's side headrest and the other on the passenger side. I prefer to use the passenger one, because I can reach into my purse from the driver's seat, but if I've got extra people in the car, it's nice to have the flexibility to keep my purse on either side. Also, they fit very snugly and are tough. My purse easily weighs 20 pounds, and it never looks like they're strained." —Kendra

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in black).

    15. A bottle of nail and cuticle repair oil, which uses jojoba oil and vitamin E to help strengthen your nails and soften your cuticles for when you're about to go to brunch and you notice your nails are looking a little too rough for those mimosa stories that will be posted later.

    Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I am not kidding you, this is my first Amazon review ever. Just a few weeks ago my nails were brittle and peeling, I always had my nails done and they were pretty much destroyed… then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you’re thinking about buying this… buy it!" —Jocelyn Nackley

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).

    16. A set of satin pillowcases that'll give your bed a hint of ~luxury~. Not only does it look pretty; reviewers say its soft fabric helps clear acne-prone skin and creates less friction on their hair to avoid breakage (which is especially ideal as we brave the cold, dry weather)!

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes and 37 colors).

    17. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment infused with collagen, ceramides, and protein extracts to help repair your hair if it is damaged, over-processed, or has just spent too much time with that flat iron. Many reviewers are comparing it to Olaplex! Simply apply it on wet hair after shampooing, 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 saw this on TikTok, and in between other compares products that were four times the price, I decided to bite the bullet and buy this — let me tell you, best decision ever! I shampooed my hair, then heavily massaged this in, from ends to scalp. The carton says 5-20 minutes... But I ended up leaving it in for two days! And after washing it out, my hair was so shiny, bouncy and CURLY! My curl recovery journey has been long, but this has helped restore so much vibrance and shape to my hair. My mom has been stealing it from my bathroom every couple of days, after having similar results on her hair. Going to need to buy a few more to ward her off." —curlyhead3

    18. A set of exfoliating gloves you can use in the bath or shower to gently lather off dead skin and impurities so you come out with ~buttery soft~ skin. The best part? You can choose from three different textures according to your skin sensitivity and since it's on your own hand, you can get specific about the exfoliation pressure!

    Promising review: "This is one of my favorite purchases. Not gonna lie, TikTok made me buy this. So I buy it and I’m still a little nervous because it’s literally a glove. But nah, I used it with liquid body soap and I’ve never felt so clean in my whole life. I got out of the shower feeling like a freshly birthed baby. My skin had never felt so clean and I questioned how I went 32 years without this." —Brittney

    Get a pair from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three textures, six colors, and as sets of two or three). 

    19. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set — not only will their sharp blades have you slicin' and choppin' like Gordon Ramsay, but you'll be able to avoid cross-contamination without having to interrupt your meal prep process to wipe your knife down.

    It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this a holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like this reviewer did! 

    Promising review: "This is my best buy of the month, and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. I haven't had to sharpen them yet and I've been using them pretty steadily for about a month. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives." —GWP

    Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $16.99.

    20. A set of ingenious double shower curtain hooks because having those silly rings pop off in the middle of your shower (a.k.a. your private concert) is *annoying*. This'll make putting on the shower curtain and the liner — and having them stay in place! — easy peasy.

    Promising review: "I hate changing out the liner on my shower because it meant I had to remove the curtain too. Not any more! I saw this set of hooks in a TikTok review. Now I can swap out the liner with ease. The hooks also slide on the curtain rod very easily, no tugging." —Christina

    Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 14 colors). 

    21. A set of Wonder Hangers, which will really and truly maximize all the extra space in your closet (even if it doesn't *look* like there's any extra space 😬). And bonus! They come fully assembled, so all you gotta do is hang them in your closet and go buy cute new tops to fill them with.

    Promising review:  "These are so clever and versatile! I live in an old house with tiny closets so I have to get creative. These are great because they can be used hanging horizontally or vertically. I also found they work great for hanging camisoles and tank tops. I can see what I have and take just the one I need!" —Therese Van Heuveln

    Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors and two sizes).

    22. A bottle of Drop It to naturally reduce the sulfites and tannins in wine that might be to blame for those absolutely dreadful headaches. This little guy is portable, discreet, and treats about 55 glasses of wine without altering its taste!

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    It works with any type of wine, and one little bottle will last for up to 55 glasses!

    Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and enjoy!

    Promising review: "This works! I had to stop drinking wine because the sulfites upset my system. I can now enjoy wine again (I drink white wine) I use 2 drops/glass and no more problems! I have tried several other products, but have found this to be the best in terms of price/value and effectiveness." —Judith S.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in six package quantities).

    23. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey — seriously, this must be what had Winnie the Pooh in a chokehold. Add it to your favorite dishes (like pizza, wings, and tacos!) for that beautifully-balanced "hint of sweet with a kick of spice" flavor.

    24. A magnetic air fryer cheat sheet that'll let your inner foodie experiment with different delicious concoctions while giving you the peace of mind that everything will still come out fully cooked and safe to eat.

    Promising review: "Bought an air fryer several months ago which I haven't used a whole lot because it came with only a few recipes but not enough info on other items to cook. The Lotteli cheat sheet gives you cooking times and temperatures for a lot of your common everyday foods in a magnetized easy-to-read, two-sheet combo that fills in where the air fryer pamphlet that came with the unit leaves out. I also bought an air fryer cookbook but this only comes with specific recipes, whereas the cheat sheet fills in the void for quick basic needs. Very happy with this purchase! 😁" —B. Frank Smith

    Get it from Amazon for $6.75+ (available in five styles). 

    25. A handy minimalist weekly cleaning printable, which gives you a daily breakdown of small things you can do around your home every day to keep it clean instead of letting it all pile up on you and having to clean it all at once.

I even found my husband testing it out on furniture I hadn't got to. It goes a long way, smells great, and I just bought two more bottles for antiques and reg furniture I have in another home. It really is a miracle." —Amazon Customer Linda

    Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers

It comes with a holder you can wrap right around a jar of olives or pickles so that the lazies of the fam no longer have to walk three feet to the utensils drawer to grab a clean fork. Now, you can really ~relish~ in the moment knowing half the house hasn't stuck their hand in the jar during their snack break.

    Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great to get pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol) you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening. It comes with two different rings to fit whatever size jar, a stabber holder, and a stabbing stick." —Amazon Customer

They're basically game changers for me as a runner and a human, I basically have one on my wrist and in my hair at all times (I got the "Thick Fit" size cuz it gives my pony some ~oomph~). They're super soft but lock in place really well on runs — I've never once had to adjust or tighten them, even on long-distance runs. What I love most, though, is they are *super* gentle when you pull them out. As someone who already sheds a lot I am determined to keep as much of my hair on my head as possible!! These are also great for sleeping in because if you wear them loose, they don't dent your hair like other hair ties might. They are definitely more expensive than other hair ties, but worth it — I've rotated the same pack of six for over two years now!"

    Promising review: "These really are perfect for thick hair! No more aching scalp or hair getting caught like with elastic bands. I've really put them to the test too — worn them running, swimming, sleeping and they hold perfectly. I bought a second pack so I can put one in every bag!" —E. Walsh

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $15 (available in nine color packs).

    34. A grout pen for all those pesky nooks and crannies that refuse to ever look clean. This lets you skip all the scrubbing to restore your floors to their bright, clean appearance in a pinch.

    Promising review: "These things are awesome! I cleaned my bathroom tile grout first because the lady who lived there before me really let it go. A few places stayed stained and I was worried it wouldn't cover them, but all grout areas are bright white and look new now!" —Donna K Cook

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available with a narrow tip or a wide tip).

    35. A bath overflow drain cover so that you can throw out that subpar stopper that seems to want to end your peaceful bathtime long before you're ready. This baby completely seals your drain with a suction cup that secures the stopper to the tub floor so that your bathtub of zen only drains whenever you so please.

    Promising review: "I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra three inches of water and it is great." —Hyacinthe Snyder

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).

    36. A KitchenAid attachment mount, which spares you from having to ever again dig through a bunch of random cutlery in a drawer to find the precise attachment you need. This lets you click them in and out of place so that you can whisk away with all the necessary tools within easy reach.
