1. A comfy, soft hammock that reviewers love so much, many said they *literally* use it as their bed now instead of their actual mattresses. Like!!?? I want in, NOW.
Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel.
Promising review: "The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The set up/take down is super easy and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300+ pounds in it. The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position...no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it...no problem. It works great as a traditional hammock to lay in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs. We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell." —Mary

2. A bestselling lip-plumping gloss set, which makes your lips so luscious and full, you'll feel like you got fillers — for a literal fraction of the price and without actually injecting anything into your bod.
You'll get one lip plumper and one minty sleeping mask for your lips.
Promising reviews: "I loved this stuff, it was magic. The evening moisturizer was fabulous. It is the first plumper that actually works for me. Will be buying more for gifts!!!!!" —Alexandra
"I love this duo!!! I am a makeup artist so I've tried almost every lip plumper on the market! This is a great value since you get two different products for lower than the cost of one tube by other brands. Keeps my lips hydrated as I live in dry Arizona. I'm so excited I came across this!" —Mandy Burden
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
3. A two-sided travel cup, aka THE answer to the prayers of those of us who are never satisfied with just one beverage. You can fill one compartment with water and the other with iced coffee (or juice, iced tea, lemonade, bubble tea, and more). My toxic trait is that I truly believe this would make me just about unstoppable.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!" —Megan Huffman
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
4. Plus, SPEAKING OF ICED COFFEE, a cult-fave cold brew coffee maker that's blissfully easy to use. All you gotta do is put some ground coffee in the filter, seal the airtight top lid, and throw it in the fridge to brew overnight. GIMME.
Check it out on TikTok to see how it works, and peep our Takeya cold brew coffee maker review for more deets!
Promising review: "This coffee maker is my BEST FRIEND! I use this every day, it's so easy to use! My coffee comes out perfect every time. I'm a cold coffee drinker and I put about 8–10 scoops of freshly ground coffee into the filter. I let it sit overnight and the next morning, I remove the filter and dump the grounds. It makes four days' worth of coffee and I love that it's ready to go for me, especially since I wake up at 4:50 a.m. and I need to make my coffee quickly! It's very easy to clean as well." —Panda
Get a 1 quart size from Amazon for $27.99+ (also available as 2 quarts).
5. A bestselling weighted fitness hoop to help strengthen your core, relieve lower back pain from long days of sitting, and shake off stress — with all the glee you had playing with Hula Hoops once upon a time during recess.
The waist is adjustable up to 43 inches.
Promising review: "Like many folks, I have struggled with finding an exercise that I enjoy and will actually keep doing. It is so easy to do, it is as fun as doing cardio can be, and I have been able to do it on a regular basis. I use it for around 30 minutes, three to five times a week. I am definitely sweating by the time I’m done, but since it’s so easy to do once you get the hang of it, I feel powerful and proud of myself. (I’ve listened to podcasts, watched TV, and even read while hooping with it.) It is fairly noisy but not terrible, so keep that in mind." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in four colors).
6. A Bluetooth keyboard so you can get some work done on the go without having to carry around an 8-pound laptop all day. This'll transform your tablet or smartphone into something of a mini laptop, so you can do your thing without carrying around extra weight. (*Speaks into the void*) I humbly request it.
FYI, it requires AAA batteries.
Promising review: "I tried one of these Omoton keyboards at a friend's house a long time ago. I've wanted one ever since. I finally ordered one, and I must say, I have no buyers regret; unless it's to say I wish I'd gotten one sooner. I paired it with both my iPhone, which was quite easy, and my tablet, which as also quite easy. It's way better then using the keyboard on the phone. I'm really serious folks. It was wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you Omoton for filling this special need." —Robert L.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six colors).
7. A ChomChom pet hair remover with over 100,000 5-star ratings to actually get rid of the pet hair coating your house. It requires *no* sticky papers and collects all the hair in a chamber for you to easily dump out once you're done, so it's easier on your wallet and better for the environment.
Promising review: "I am allergic to cats so here I am with two cats who shed a ton. Their hair is covering all the furniture. I have special pet covers on my bed to protect my comforter but I hate having to sleep under it since my cats sleep on my bed. I have tried so many cat hair remover brushes, gloves, sponges that never worked. I was ready to shave the cats and call it a day. Then along comes the ChomChom brush. It not only has the lint roller but a bar that collects the hair. I love the little hairball container of the roller so I don't have to spend time cleaning off the lint brush. I can't believe this product works! I have an off-white couch and I didn't realize how much hair there was. After I used it, my couch looked lighter in color. I got my comforter cleaned off in minutes. It's a simple and inexpensive way to cure your pet hair woes." —Dondi
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

8. An at-home slushy-making cup *so* user-friendly that us slush-lovers won't believe our good luck. Just freeze the silicone cup for four hours, pour any cold drink in (soda, LaCroix, juice, smoothies, or what-have-you) and squeeze the sides of the cup. Behold: perfect slush.
It even comes with a spill-proof lid so it won't leak while you're crushing the cup.
Promising review: "These are becoming a daily used item in our house. We ordered multiples for each of our children but they're great for all ages. I like making an Orange Julius and my son loves frozen Dr. Pepper. The options are endless and they work like a charm every time." —VLS
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 14 colors and packs of two).
9. A rotating shelf letting you easily display or hide its contents, perfect for when you get a last-minute visit from your fam or landlord and need to do some quick damage control. I think it's SO cool and SO fun and I NEED IT.
Promising review: "Works well for taming an unruly DVD and video game collection. It has a small footprint and looks nice in my relatively low profile living room. Liked it some much we got a second one for the game room. Assembly is easy though the styrofoam does get everywhere. They do not 'spin freely' but spin easy enough if you need them to. The cubes are halved depth wise so that you can make good use of the space to hold games and DVDs. Definitely a step up from the huge wall spanning shelf we used to have. Much easier on the eyes too." —N. Williams
Get it from Amazon for $76.32.
10. An ash wooden tree swing that can support up to 300 pounds so kids and adults alike can experience the unparalleled joy of outdoor swings. I'm convinced that swings just make *everything* more fun — and make ordinary days suddenly feel extra special.
All you need is the right tree and some simple hanging hardware.
Promising review: "My daughter LOVES this swing, and it was super easy to install with the eye splice and video instructions. Thanks for making a kid's birthday dreams come true!" —Julie Crosby
The Original Tree Swing is a Minneapolis, Minnesota-based shop creating wooden swings from local lumber that has been cut down for construction, weather damage and the like, saving it from the landfill and bringing it back to backyards everywhere.
Get it from The Original Tree Swing on Etsy for $100+ (available in four sizes).
11. A multipurpose, super adaptable pool float with a mesh center you can use as a sort of ~water hammock~ in the pool, as a lounging chair, or even as a workout saddle for some exercise when it's extra hot out. Just imagine hanging out in the water in this all summer long. 😭 This would allow me to complete my transformation into my Main Character Era.
Promising review: "These are the best floaties!! They are perfect for vacation because they take up no room to pack. You can also sit on them a few ways like laying back or sitting upright with the floats on either side. I bring them on vacation and people always ask where I got them. They're perfect for laying back with a cool drink." —Jenna DiPaolo
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two colors).
12. A Shark Tank–approved pair of weighted bangles you can wear on your wrists or ankles to give you an added workout while you do literally anything else — cook dinner, run errands, text, or simply stomp around your office to avoid working. This is the low-effort workout I require.
My former colleague Brittany Ross has these: "I got the 2-pound weights as a Christmas gift, and as someone who is ~not~ the most enthusiastic when it comes to most forms of exercise, I think these are a great option if you want to get a little more out of even a simple walk around the block. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing with their pretty colors and matte finish, but they're also quite comfortable, given that they're adding extra resistance to your movements. I highly recommend if you want to make things a little more challenging for yourself while feeling good about wearing them in public. I got several compliments on them while I was out and about!"
Promising review: "I fell in love with the color selection and decided to give them a shot. They're one of my favorite purchases to date, because I use these ALL. THE. TIME. When I'm cleaning, organizing, or doing little chores around the house, I slip these on for subtle extra resistance, and when I'm doing bodyweight workouts, I have them on. They are so comfortable, and I can tell they've been helping me. I can't recommend them enough <3." —Ashley
Get a set of two weights from Amazon for $55+ (available in eight colors and as 1 or 2 pounds).
13. A practical robotic vacuum with over 45,000 5-star ratings that'll handle one of your least favorite tasks — so you can just lay on the couch (or do literally anything else but vacuum) while it's working. TBH I won't rest until I have it.
It comes with a remote you can use to control it as it works.
Promising review: "He is my natural-born son and I would cry hot tears of sorrow if anything were to ever happen to him. Ok, so histrionics aside, I really really love this guy. This has been one of the best purchases I have made this year (if not ever) and I truly do think of it as an investment in myself and my mental health. I am lazy and hate vacuuming. But this guy? This little guy will just lightly whizz around the house over and over again, sometimes lightly bumping into things, sometimes jetting off into another room...just slowly but surely gathering up all the random dust, hair and other detritus that you don't even know about and might not be able to get to with a traditional vacuum. My life is so much more at ease knowing I can clean without lifting so much as a finger." —Jules
Get it from Amazon for $139.78+ (available in two colors).
14. An impossibly sweet heart-shaped fake cake box that just made all other jewelry storage irrelevant. It'll fit all of your most precious accessories perfectly while looking like a gorgeous (and delicious) decoration in its own right. I'm obsessed with anything aesthetic and I'm internally screaming.
You can customize the writing (plus work with the owner for any other customizations you want!) to fit your tastes exactly.
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing and beautiful. It's perfect and just as pictured. I am in awe of it. Now I have to buy my mom one, she saw it and hinted not so subtly." —Heather Marie
2FacedCakes is a small business based in Las Vegas that handcrafts gorgeous dessert-themed jewelry storage and decor.
Get them from 2FacedCakes on Etsy: the pink '90s box for $39.10 and the purple with cherries box for $36 (both available with glitter or matte). See their full store page for more adorable options!
15. An anti-soggy cereal bowl with divided sections for cereal and milk to upgrade the lives of all ye despisers of soggy cereal. You can also use this for curry and rice, chips and dip, yogurt and fruit, soup, or milk and cookies. Endless, ah-mazing possibilities.
Promising review: "This product is something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I’m being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I’ll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." —Sarah F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors and in packs of two or three).
16. Hidden bookshelves that give the illusion of floating so you can have the magical library of your dreams, even if you have little space to spare. You won't be able to stop marveling at how damn cool your favorite books look on these. I know I wouldn't.
The small bookshelves are designed to hold up to 15 pounds and the large bookshelves are designed to hold up to 20 pounds.
Promising review: "I bought two of these in August 2010, and in the last 10 years I've used them in three different apartments. I just put them up in apartment number three and was once again blown away with how awesome they look. Every time I put them up I'm like, 'WOW WOW WOW, these are AMMMMAAAZZINNNNNGGGG!!!' If you love decorating with books, this is a must buy!" —Jlands
Get it from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in two sizes and in sets of three).
17. An MVP mug warmer so you can take your leeeeisurely time drinking your bev of choice while it stays the perfect drinking temperature throughout the whole day. You'll never have to drink lukewarm bean water again.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has this and loves it: "This thing not only looks good, but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long (because yes, I'm one of those people that'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!). I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for using with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concave-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person."
Get it from Amazon for $21.79+ (available in eight styles).
18. A cozy, soft "floof" lounging nest for when you just need an escape from the world. Tuck into this ~person pocket~ to read, answer emails, or take a nap *so* much more joyfully.
It's made with canvas on the outside and soft "floof" material on the inside.
Promising reviews: "Oh my goodness my Floof is probably the best thing I've ever bought. I'm autistic and I have PTSD so it's really important to me to have safe places to regulate and calm myself. Not only is it cozy being in the Floof, it's so so soft. Basically the Floof is absolute sensory bliss! TOTALLY worth the wait!" —Indigo Empress
"I'm in love with my adult Floof and may never leave the Floof cave...please send chocolate and wine." —heatherthon2010
Floofcouture is a small business based in the Netherlands that handmakes all their cozy "floof" lounging nests. The floof pockets are inspired by the owner's rescue dog Tofu who likes to make nests to hide in when they get anxious. PS: The floofs are made to travel with!
Preorder it from Floofcouture on Etsy for $331.05+ (available in two sizes and 13 colors; also available in different versions for people or for pets). Processing time is currently 10 weeks.
19. A bestselling 2-in-1 electric treadmill so you can get in a walk or jog at home to help you clear your head and stay active. This one also arrives fully assembled, which we all know is *no* small thing. I don't know HOW to explain HOW BADLY I WANT THIS.
With the bar down, you can walk up to 3.8 mph; with the bar up, you can run up to 7.6 mph! It has an LED display to track speed, distance, time, and calories and is controlled by a remote control. The treadmill supports up to 265 pounds.
Promising review: "I chose this treadmill because of the great customer service reviews and the fact that it was easily movable and compact and goes up to a speed to allow jogging/running. It's been fantastic to use while working from home. I was worried about it being hard to type or read while using it, but I usually walk at a speed of 2.4–2.6 mph while actively working — emails, technical editing, plan review, phone calls (haven't tried higher than that) — and have had no issues. I've been walking about 4 to 6 miles at a time. I also have had no issues moving it around myself with the rollers when I need to (I'm 5 feet 4), and it's not heavy at all, maybe just a little awkward to maneuver if you're working with a tight space. I had my mom (5 foot 1 and slight build) try to lift it because she was also interested in purchasing one, and she also had no issues moving it around. My husband (~170 pounds) will walk on it after work while watching TV for a few miles at 3–3.5 mph, but neither of us has tried running on it consistently. We live on the top floor of an apartment complex and have also gotten no complaints about noise issues, but again, haven't run on it yet. As of now, I definitely recommend it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $319.99 (available in five colors).
20. A clear large-capacity rotating makeup organizer TikTokers love for keeping all your favorite products right at your fingertips. Seeing your entire collection all tidy and organized won't just be ~extremely~ satisfying and aesthetic; it'll also make flying through your routine easier than ever.
PS: You can also use it to organize your desk supplies!
Promising reviews: "I am obsessed with this makeup organizer! It’s seriously one of the best ones I have ever had. It’s super easy to assemble and extremely sturdy. It holds all my makeup and I’m super pleased. I am a beauty and fashion blogger and this is perfect for what I do for a living. I highly recommend!" —Adrian Elia
"Love this! I bought this because an influencer I follow on TikTok recommended it, and she was correct about this item! Love it!" —Renita
Get it from Amazon for $32.99.
21. A splurge-worthy Litter Robot here to make life approximately one thousand times easier while ensuring your beloved kitty (or kitties) always have a clean area to do their business. This high-tech gadget cleans your cat's litter for you, collecting the waste in a bag at the bottom of the bot after your lovey's finished and leaving the litter area full of only fresh litter.
Jenae owns this and loves it: "I've been using the Litter Robot myself for over a year now, and I'm pretty sure both me and my two cats are way happier for it. After a cat is done using it, the Litter Robot waits a set amount of time until the cat's presence is no longer detected, then begins to rotate, collecting the waste into a bag at the bottom while retaining the clean litter in the barrel. I usually don't detect a smell from it afterward, though once the bag starts to get really full, you might get a subtle reminder that you need to take it out. I only have to take out that bag about once a week, and a flashing light will let you know when it's full.
"Initially, the cats were a little spooked by the sound of the Litter Robot during a cycle, and for the first few weeks, they would just sit and stare at it, as if it would get up and run at them if they took their eyes off it. At this point, though, they've completely adjusted and accepted it as their way of life, making my life a heck of a lot easier while ensuring they always have a clean bed of litter. It's a pricey purchase, to be sure, but if cleaning out the litter box daily or even every other day is hard for you and you'd rather not think about it much at all, I say the Litter Robot is worth it. One thing to note: It's quite large, so make sure you have a dedicated space for it."
Get it from Litter Robot for $549 (available in white or gray).
Looking for a cheaper option? Here's another self-cleaning cat litter box from Amazon that reviewers like — it's smaller and utilizes disposable trays instead.
22. A plush faux fur weighted blanket made with tempered glass beads to provide the kind of deep pressure that helps reduce anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Plus, it'll keep ya snuggly and warm. PS: 10% of the profits go toward helping the homeless.
Promising reviews: "I really love this weighted blanket. It calms me down at the end of the day and is now part of every evening. I can't even express how nice this blanket feels and makes me feel. It helps with sleep and is very effective for my anxiety." —Brett
"This is my first time buying this brand but I have a similar blanket form a different brand. There's a big difference in quality. This one is much softer and stays soft after a lot of use and wash cycles. You get what you pay for. I'll be buying more for the holidays as gifts for my family." —Harthun
Comma Home is an eco-friendly home goods company that works with small organizations in all 50 states to donate 10% of sales to help the homeless.
Get it from Comma Home for $85+ (available in two weights and two colors).
23. Some chunky Sam Edelman ankle boots so stylish they're being likened to Prada's $1,000+ Chelsea boots, without the frankly obscene cost. Their thick soles make a badass statement without feeling heavy on your feet, and best of all, they're comfy on the first wear, so you won't have to spend weeks breaking them in.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Jenae loves hers. She writes: "I bought these when my old pair of go-to black boots finally bit the dust after years of use. I wanted something a little more stylish and have always loved the look of classic Dr. Martens but wasn't ready to drop the money on them. Enter: these beauties. I've worn them for miles at a time all around NYC, and they haven't hurt my feet one bit. I've also worn them in the pouring rain and my feet haven't gotten the least bit wet. I love that they'll go with practically all of my outfits, and every friend I've worn these around have complimented them + asked where I got them. (Most people wouldn't guess they're from Amazon!) I got them in my normal size and they fit just fine, even with my thick wool socks. Highly recommend if you're looking for your new staple boot!"
Promising review: "I'm so happy I bought these! They are an excellent alternative to spending $1,200 on the Prada Chelsea boots. They look basically identical and are ridiculously comfy. Sure you can get other Chelsea style boots for like $35 to $45 but they are usually super uncomfortable, these just feel so nice. They don't pinch or and my foot doesn't slip around inside them. This is my best shoe purchase on Amazon, I'm just so impressed." —Azure Look
Get them from Amazon for $40+ (available in women's sizes 5–13 and 13 styles).
24. A buttery soft, '90s-inspired scoop back, lace trim spaghetti strap tank made of smooth, comfy cotton to hug curves and inspire confidence whether you're chilling at home or having a day in the sun at the farmer's market. Each cami has a tiny rosebud at the center — swoon!
Check them out on TikTok!
Promising review: "I saw other reviews raving about this tank before I bought it and I thought 'How good can a basic tank top really be?' Once I got one I realized what they were talking about. It's very thoughtfully designed. I'm an H cup but I could still wear this out without a bra. It's slightly stretchy which adds a touch of support. It's a high quality piece with attention to detail. It's super cute and I ordered three more." —Joanna B
Rat Boi is a small biz based in California that specializes in ethically-made basics and apparel.
Get it from Urban Outfitters or Rat Boi for $46+ (available in up to 12 colors/patterns and sizes XS–3XL).
25. Maybelline's Cheek Heat gel-cream blush for a gorgeous, natural flush you can easily apply with your fingers thanks to its water-based formula. Psst: Reviewers say it rivals Glossier's Cloud Paint at a fraction of the cost.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I'm a Glossier Cloud Paint stan so I'll continue to buy it, but I love this affordable alternative, too! It spreads on super easily and can either go on sheer or build for a bolder effect. I enjoy it for ~everyday wear~ since it's so easy to squirt a bit on my fingers, swirl it into my cheeks, and be on my merry way. It lasts all day and looks super natural to boot!"
Promising review: "This is a great, cheap alternative to Glossier Cloud Paint. It’s less pigmented and blends more easily, so it looks very natural." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.98 (available in five shades).
