    42 Products You’ll Use Once And Think “You’re Simply The Best”

    You haven't lived until you've tried out The Pink Stuff on your dirtiest pan.

    1. Essence Lash Princess Mascara might just leave people wondering if you recently got eyelash extensions (which it feels like everyone and anyone has been raving about). Joke's on them!

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a BIG fan of this mascara. She said:

    "Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of the positive 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 ALL the live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), 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: "I have to be honest, for a 'cheap' three-pack mascara, I did NOT have high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much." —Liz

    2. A stuffed waffle maker that'll make all of your brunch dreams come true — fill 'em with cream cheese, strawberries, chicken, or anything else your heart desires!

    Promising review: "Oh my goodness. This was way better than expected. Definitely only need one waffle per person, they are huge. They are beyond delicious and the stuffing options are endless. It does take about seven minutes to make one waffle but totally worth it. Comes out perfect every single time. No issues at all. Buy it now!" —armywife

    Get it from Amazon for $54.49.

    3. Derol Lip Plumper and Lip Care Serum, which uses natural ingredients like ginger, mint, and vitamin E to gently make your lips look more full and moisturized. Pucker up!

    Promising review: "I've tried several lip plumpers before, all with varying results. I was on the market for some new gloss and found this on Amazon. This stuff is the real deal. It does tingle a little bit, but not to the point of pain, and it leaves your lips looking voluptuous and full. I'm really happy I decided to try this out." —Marissa

    4. A smiley-faced Scrub Daddy sponge that'll make doing the dishes a bit more enjoyable — how could anyone resist smiling back at this lil' guy???

    Promising review: "I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing scrubber! It cleans absolutely everything, doesn't scratch nonstick surfaces, has a fun texture, doesn't smell bad over time, and actually speeds up my dish cleaning time. Seriously, this is the best scrubber I have encountered in years. I bought one for several friends and family members for Christmas after seeing it on Shark Tank, and I've already replaced one for myself. This makes a wonderful and practical gift.

    My son liked it so much he just purchased two more packages to clean their new stainless-steel sink. This product is a great value compared to every other scrubber I have tried, and I have A LOT of them. Finally, it looks great sitting on the counter or in the sink with its smiley face and fun colors. Great value: you can't go wrong with this one!" —Carla

    5. A travel pill organizer you'll wonder how you've lived this long without — it's moisture-proof, has eight compartments, and is made of cereal fiber and food grade plastic. You can totally use this *all* the time, not just when you're jet setting.

    Promising review: "I love these! I have pretty severe ADHD, and I am constantly forgetting my meds when camping or hiking or just generally leaving the house for extended periods of time. These make it so much easier for me to just squirrel away in my backpack and be so pleased when I find them again. The labels are great, they are durable, and I'm no longer finding stray pills of unknown origin in the bottom of my bag. Highly recommend" —Eliza

    6. Affresh cleaning tablets to toss into your dishwasher and easily get rid of that yucky smell that seems to appear after a few washes — it'll banish lime and mineral build-up and leave your dishes nice 'n' clean.

    I have these tablets and use them all the time! They work especially great after the bottom of my dishwasher has gotten stained with residue from detergent or rusty-looking liquid after I've run my baking sheets through the wash. I love knowing I can just pop one into the dishwasher 1, 2, 3, and end up with a clean machine.

    Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila

    7. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes, so even if you are quite lacking in the green thumb area, you won't have to fret about killing your plants. Stick some of these bad boys in the soil and watch your leafy friends thrive.

    Each spike can be used for 30-60 days, depending on the season. Check out BuzzFeed's full Miracle-Gro plant food spikes write-up.

    Promising review: "I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." —victoria

    8. A baseboard and molding cleaning tool you can use to scrub away the dust and grime that somehow congregates on one of the hardest-to-reach spots in your home — save your knees and tidy up with this handy dandy addition to your lineup.

    Promising review: "One of the best cleaning tools I own in my home. I use it for everything I need to dust. Not just for baseboards anymore!! Plus, it can be washed and air dried!! Love my Baseboard Buddy!! The pole is long enough that you can even use to to do your fan blades. 😉 The pads are super absorbent, and you can even add a touch of soap and a couple drops of water or cleaner for those troubled areas as well. I highly recommend this product!!" —Lori Sitzler

    9. A set of cleaning K-Cups to rinse away all the coffee grounds from your past beverages and ensure your next ones taste fresher than ever.

    Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use… I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!" —Corey West

    10. Sink extenders so you won't need to muster up Herculean strength every time your surprisingly dense toddler wants to wash their sticky little paws.

    Promising review: "Must-have for toddlers and small children! LOVE this! My 1- and 3-year-old love washing their hands now, and my back gets a nice break. Adding the faucet extenders and a stepstool to our bedtime/morning routine has been a godsend. Great bargain for the price." —TeaBea21

    11. Retainer cleaning tablets that'll help restore yours back to its original color (aka not yellow, yikes) and do a much better job at it than your well-intentioned but feeble attempts to brush it with your toothbrush.

    Promising review: "I didn't take before/after pics because, truthfully, I didn't expect this to do much. I've got a night guard to prevent grinding, and I've had it for years now. I've cleaned it regularly, brushed it, sanitized it daily, etc., but it was distinctly yellow and opaque, I figured from age. I was about to talk to my dentist about replacing it, but figured I'd give these a try. LET ME TELL YOU. This thing is now clear and clean and almost like new. It definitely wasn't an instant fix, but it got a little better after each use, and now, it's unrecognizable. If you're on the fence, try this. It's not cheap, but it's way less than a new dental device!" —Katie

    12. A grape cutter because who on earth wants to spend their precious time cutting grapes??? This lil' gadget will ensure your kiddo's favorite fruit is the perfect size without costing you an entire afternoon.

    Promising review: "I was stubborn initially and didn’t believe in getting something to cut my kid’s grapes. I would cut them by hand. My friend told me about it and I caved in and bought it. I shouldn’t have been stubborn! I can literally cut more grapes in half the time! If you’re reading this, do not be stubborn, just get it! It will save you time! I even managed to cut blue berries with them!" —Kao

    Promising review: "Witchcraft? I do not claim to understand the science behind these tiny miracles, but they have changed my life. I spent my workday looking forward to going home and putting one of these bad boys on my newly erupted Mt. Zit, and the overnight results were shocking. Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater in my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick, pick, pick." —Adg

    14. A "Shower Cat" that'll attach to the shower wall and provide you with an appropriate place to stash all the hair that comes out in your hands mid-hair wash. Don't think twice about this one — order it right meow.

    Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs. 

    Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok, and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment, and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great, but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them, and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf

    15. Hot Ones Garlic Fresno Hot Sauce you can count on to help you jazz up all of your meals — add it to scrambled eggs, pizza, wings... the options are endless!

    This is part of Complex's Hot Ones collection, exclusively at Walmart. 

    Promising review: "I should have been more considerate with the hot sauce cause I just bought it two weeks ago and I’m almost out of it. It’s delicious with many kinds of foods, all the three meal types a day. I think the latest mix I’ve used it on, is a Publix sub and the taste was beyond what I expected." —Josh S.

    Get it from Walmart for $8.94.

    16. Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with the capability to make iced coffee. regular coffee, espressos, cappucinos, and lattes at various strengths and volumes — magical.

    Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine
    Amazon

    I recently started testing out this espresso machine and it's been fantastic. I have a Nespresso machine that I adore, but it's been a bit much having both that and a Keurig on my countertop. The Phillips machine is great because it has the capabilities of what multiple machines do but only takes up the room of one! All you really have to do is add coffee beans into the top (though it also has a place to add in ground beans if that's your preference) and make sure the water reservoir has enough to make yourself a high quality cup o' joe. I mostly prefer iced drinks, so I've been thrilled that this machine has an iced coffee option in addition to all the hot ones. My mom and sister, who were been staying with me for a bit and drink *a lot* of coffee throughout the morning, were impressed with how simple the machine has been to use. No complaints whatsoever — it's worth the money, IMO!

    Promising review: "I use this 3–5 times a day at least. It’s very consistent and makes an excellent cup of coffee or expresso. I’ve had it three months and have probably brewed a few hundred cups with it. Not one issue so far. Fresh ground coffee is so much better than anything else." —G. Reese.

    17. An under-desk electric treadmill complete with an LED display that shows time, speed, and distance. It also features a quiet motor, and Bluetooth capabilities so you can blast "I Can Go The Distance" a la Hercules while getting your steps in and perusing your emails.

    See it in action in this TikTok here. The speed range is 0.5–6mph, and it can hold up to 220 pounds.

    Promising review: "This thing is awesome. I'm a small, not technical person and managed to haul this thing up two flights of stairs (slowly), unbox, turn on and even connect my phone to the Bluetooth in it. No assembly. Simple instructions. Distance and time measurements seem to be accurate, but the 'calories' might be missing a decimal point. No squealing or groaning under my walking. Not too loud. Slides right under my bed. Didn't need to adjust the belt, though the tool to do so is included. Packaging says to oil every 30 hours. The remote is needed to make the treadmill function. It is extremely cheap — like dollar store cheap. I hope the company has a remote replacement for if/when the remote bites it. Even still, I would 100% buy this again. Great treadmill!" —Crowells

    Promising review: "Don’t think any further and just buy it. This was so cool, and everyone loved it! I got the clear one because it will go with any drink. I will be the one to put this in all my friends' drinks. Also had no taste, so it was just the look. Sooooooo cool!" —gigi

    19. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time.

    www.amazon.com, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning.

    Promising review: "Honestly I was very skeptical when I first purchased. Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of band wagon. Of course I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard bristle tooth brush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral build up, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Over all very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    20. A rotating Beachwaver curling iron featuring the ability to basically curl your hair for you while you stand around watching YouTube videos. Technology these days, man.

    Beachwaver

    This version features a design from Baked by Melissa — cupcakes and hair styling tools? Who woulda thought! BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers! She said:

    "I've used about every kind of hair styling tool on the planet and had given up on curling irons with clamps. I was fully a curling wand girlie because I'm adept at heat styling and it gave me covetable mermaid waves I wanted. Then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time."

    Promising review: "As a first time Beachwaver user I was so impressed! I have never been able to use a regular curling iron or a wand so I had high hopes that the Beachwaver would be my hair curling solution, and it was! The Beachwaver is so easy to use and it makes perfect curls every time. At first I had trouble understanding which way I was supposed to curl the hair, but after a tiny bit of practice and a tutorial video I became a Beachwaver pro. It is truly so easy to use and I recommend that everyone gets themselves a Beachwaver even if you already know how to curl hair because it definitely speeds up the hair curling process!" —Raleigh K.

    Get it from Beachwaver for $99 or check out the original (sans-tie dye) from Amazon for $99.

    21. Mouthwatchers' flossing toothbrush has two layers of bristles designed to *really* deep clean your teeth and in between your gums. Your pearly whites will feel as fresh as they do after the dentist but without the whole...ugh-I'm-going-to-the-dentist ordeal.

    A toothbrush with two layers of bristles, one long and thin and one shorter and thicker
    Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

    Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. I personally use this toothbrush and have been telling everyone in my life to get it — it's a game changer. I've always been prone to plaque build up and it's been very hard to get my teeth feeling fresh-out-of-the-dentist clean, but this toothbrush has done the trick! The first time I used it my mouth actually hurt a little like when you get a full cleaning done. It was kind of incredible. The bristles are super soft and not irritating but somehow, magically, deep clean my teeth better than any toothbrush I've had before.

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord couldn't help but sing the praises of this toothbrush:

    "I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."

    Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N.

    22. An instant carpet spot remover spray, so that stain that's been lingering since your bestie accidentally dripped salsa off of their chip and onto your carpet can finally be banished for once and for all.

    Promising review: "I have a white couch and my dog loves to jump up after being outside. Sometimes she has mud on her paws and this product removes the stains COMPLETELY. We’ve had red wine and spaghetti sauce spilled on it and zero trace is left after using this. Best part, my couch fabric doesn’t get damaged by the chemicals either. I’ve ordered 12 of these and we have one in every room and in our cars. Hands-down nothing beats this spray. I’ve tried pet stain removers, DIY recommendations, stuff with vinegar… only this product works. Pay the cost for this! It’s totally worth it! 100 stars if I could." —Lauren R.

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

    23. Tarte Blush Tape Liquid Blush that'll impress you from the first moment you apply it to your cheeks — it blends so beautifully and a little goes such a long way that you'll get your money's worth out of it, no question.

    I've always used a liquid blush from another brand (I'm a big fan of it because it feels easier to control to me than a powdered option) but this one from Tarte has quickly become my top favorite option. I love that it's in a squeezable tube with a soft sponge tip — I don't have to get my fingers messy and I don't accidentally squirt out WAY too much product (thus wasting it!). I give the tube the tiniest of squeezes, dab it across my cheek bones, then blend it in with a soft makeup brush. I've gotten tons of compliments since I've started using it and it doesn't budge! I'm a hugeeeeee fan of this product.

    Get it from Ulta for $35 (available in two shades).

    24. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner you'll pat yourself on the back for buying when you see just how much dirt and gunk it pulls out of all the surfaces in your life.

    Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina

    25. A bottle of mold and mildew remover, so your bathroom's grout can resemble the likes of that fabulous resort you've been eyeing for your next tropical vacation.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    There wasn't a lot of ventilation in my apartment bathroom, so during the summer the grout used to get gunky and gross looking from the humidity. I had been battling this specific bathroom grime for weeks and tried a whole array of products to no avail. Finally, I purchased Skylarlife Home Mold and Mildew Remover Gel. The results were outstanding. It’s super simple: put on a pair of gloves and apply the clear gel around your grout. Let it sit for five to six hours (I suggest opening all your windows, it’s got a strong smell) then rinse it off with cold water. 

    Promising review: "Wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. We've had issues for a few years with the caulking behind the handle of our kitchen faucet turning black from mildew. We've scrubbed with what seems like a million different products, with no luck. We were actually just talking about ripping out the caulking and doing a total replacement. But my husband saw this online the other day and decided to order it. Almost immediately when he applied it, you could see it was starting to work. We left it on overnight and the black is COMPLETELY GONE! It's incredible. 1,000% worth the (small) investment." —Nicole D.

    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

    27. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch, the sequel to 2017's Breath of the Wild (which is arguably one of the most beautiful games of all time, IMO). It's an absolute must-have for anyone who likes to unwind after the chaos of the day is done with an open-world adventure.

    Amazon

    My colleague Jenae says it best: "Tears of the Kingdom, for those unaware, is the direct sequel to 2017's mega hit Breath of the Wild, and it's easily the most anticipated Nintendo Switch game this year, maybe even the past *several* years. Though story details are somewhat slim, we know that Link will take to the skies and explore the mysterious islands floating *above* Hyrule as well as return to the sprawling landscapes below, with a host of new abilities to wield for puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat. I got the chance to play over an hour of Tears of the Kingdom at a recent Nintendo event, and it's gotten me seriously pumped for this latest Zelda adventure. Graphics- and gameplay-wise, it very much feels like Breath of the Wild, but with more freedom than ever before to manipulate the environment and get creative with how you approach, well, pretty much anything. I know I'll be diving in on release day (May 12!) and will probably lose over 100 hours of my life to TOTK like I did with BOTW, and if you love Zelda, open-world games, and (TBH) cozy vibes, it might just be the *best* way to treat yourself this Mother's Day. "

    Preorder it from Amazon for $69.99 (releases May 12; available physically or as a digital code, which can be redeemed on the Nintendo eShop). It's playable on any Nintendo Switch console, including Switch OLED and Switch Lite.

    Psst — if you've been itching to get a new console lately or upgrade your current Switch model, Nintendo just released a *gorgeous* special edition of the OLED model for Tears of the Kingdom, available for $359.99!

    28. A eucalyptus bundle that'll look absolutely gorgeous hanging in your shower but, more importantly, bring a soothing botanical scent to all of your bathroom activities.

    I'm a big fan of all-things-Aerie and adore this sports bra (I have it in four colors!). I can't wait to add these bike shorts to the mix when the weather gets warmer!

    Promising review (for the bra): "First of all, the material is buttery smooth and feels so soft. Also the colors are gorgeous and match perfectly with the Xtra Hold Up! Leggings. I love the 'longline' style, makes it perfect to wear with jeans for a nicer look. Just ordered another color!" —Grace L

    Promising review: "We just started using this high chair for our 6-month old. I absolutely love the fact that she sits with us at the table (though it’s nice to have the tray as an option of course). The straps are black, which is a smart design for keeping everything looking clean and fresh. I also love that there’s a five-point harness — I can’t believe how many high chairs only offer a three-point! I like the look of the chair in our home — so much nicer than plastic alternatives. So far, it’s been easy to wipe down, and we’ve had some very messy first meals! She seems very comfortable sitting in the chair — the padding is nice and soft, yet supportive. We’re really happy with it! The only thing I haven’t loved so far is the fact that the straps are a little tough to adjust, but that’s not a frequent occurrence, and I like how very secure they feel." —Erin M

    31. A Schick Hydro Silk Touch-Up Dermaplaning Tool, because you really should stop taking your regular ol' razor to your eyebrows to clean 'em up. This is a much more efficient tool that'll *also* help you remove peach fuzz from other areas of your face.

    Promising review: "These are great! I don’t have a ton of body hair (my hair is very fine) but one day I was applying my makeup in the car and the early morning sunlight was glimmering off of my peach fuzz. I was horrified! I had never noticed, in the bathroom mirror, how much peach fuzz I had all over my face, and how much my makeup just caught all over it :/ So I had to do something. I got these little guys and problem solved. They are easy to use, sharp, and just removes all the fuzz! I didn’t get any bumps, cut, or stubble after using them." —Gina

    32. An oil-removing cleaner that'll lift stains from all kinds of porous flooring (concrete and brick) — no need to lose sleep over the oil that dripped all over your dad's precious driveway. This will help you clean it right up (and save you from his wrath in the process).

    Promising review: "My father-in-law’s car has been leaking oil and other car fluids all over the driveway. I watched some of the other review videos before purchasing, and this product is amazing!! I had tried power washing first, but it didn’t work. We were going to be fined by our HOA if we didn’t get the oil stains cleaned up and this product worked like magic!! I love that it’s biodegradable. The drying time depends on the humidity level, but generally if I apply it first thing in the morning, I’m able to use a wire brush on the spots by noon or at the end of the work day. I do recommend wearing a mask when you brush up the dried product as it can create a lot of dust. Love, love, love, love this product." —Morgan

    33. Retro flower-shaped sunglasses you can wear while *~gettin' your groove on~* at a music festival or soaking up the sun while wandering around a local garden.

    Willow And Co By Lulu

    Willow And Co By Lulu is a small business based in Phoenix, Arizona that sells cute accessories for both adults and children.

    Promising review: "Exactly what I ordered — color is just what I expected. They sit a little higher on my face than I expected, but it doesn't really matter as they're just big sunflowers! I bought them for a Harry Styles concert and I'm obsessed with how cute they are with my outfit! The seller also does an amazing job going above and beyond. The shipping was extremely timely (thank you for not making me sweat as the concert date approached) and she even added some 'groovy' candies and items. I was smiling so big as I went through the package. Thank you!" —Kiley

    Get them from Willow And Co By Lulu on Etsy for $14.50 (available in four styles).

    34. A chenille bath mat with almost 40,000 5-star reviews — it'll feel oh-so-soft on your tootsies when you step out of the shower while also soaking up all the water that drips off your now-clean legs.

    Promising review: "Extremely soft and absorbent. We have a tiled bathroom that can cause the rugs to slip — not this one. It stays in place unless you pick it up and move it. I will be ordering several more." —Kathi S.

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 43 colors).

    35. An eyelash curler that'll help bring some va-va-voom to your lashes without having to apply falsies. Get ready to bat those eyes, honeyyyyy!

    Promising review: "When you really want to have those Bette Davis eyes without having to put on falsies, this is a great way to accentuate your lashes. Using in conjunction with mascara, these curlers really enhance the lashes. I found that they were very easy to hold onto with the scissor like clamp. The curve of the actual curler was perfect for going around my eye. The length spanned from the bridge of my nose to the corner of my eye. The silicone pad provided not only a soft cushion that didn’t leave a big crimp mark, but it also kept the crawler from sticking to my mascara covered lashes. It does come with extra silicone pads so that you can replace them as needed and extend the life of this Curler." —Will-Review4u

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in three colors).

    36. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers to place directly over your drain and toss in the trash when you're done with it — you won't have to to think about all the gunk and germs that might linger on a more permanent hair catcher.

    Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and bought them when I was visiting family. Tried them out and left a few behind for family and sent a few home with family — everyone is now ordering them and using them. They work great. Each one is on its own plastic shield. Just peel off and center onto your floor drain. I leave mine on for two to three weeks. I'm the only one using my shower, but if it's a shared shower probably wouldn't last that long. It's still a great way to catch hair before going down the drain, because we all know, people say they use the traps but they really don't. A must-have!!" —C. Crocker

    37. A magnetic purse hanger that'll impress fellow handbag hoarders when they see you using it out and about. You'll never have to place your pricey bag on the floor of a dirty restaurant or gross public bathroom tile again! Simply attach the metal hook to your bag and use the magnetic hook against a metal surface to hang it wherever, whenever!

    Bagnet is a woman-owned small business that sells magnetic bag holders and phone slings.

    Promising review: "This is the best bag holder ever! I was completely blown away, the magnet is SO strong. Works in so many places: in restrooms (try the hinges if the door isn't metal), at restaurants (on tables, chairs, even under the table), at the gym to hold my water bottle and keys so they don't end up on the floor. But my absolute favorite place to use it is on my car! I can attach it to the side of my car while I unlock it without having my hands full and leaving me vulnerable. If you have ever felt nervous trying to fumble with all your stuff while trying to unlock your doors in a dark parking lot, you need this! My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I am going to get one for everyone in my life for Christmas. Any person who carries a bag should have one (or two). Seriously, it's life changing​." —robert rodriguez

    Promising review: "These stick ice cubes are fantastic for bottled water! Really like that they have lids = no spilling on the way to the freezer, (or picking up odd tastes inside the freezer). And the ice is easy to remove without much breakage." —Diana H.

    39. waterproof Kindle for any lit lover whose main goal during a vacation is to plow through a *ton* of books on their TBR stack — this will ensure you can bring as many as you'd like without taking up precious space in your luggage or carry-on bag.

    I have a Kindle and surprisingly have become a big fan of it — especially when traveling. While I absolutely prefer a hardcover book, it's nearly impossible to put more than two (which is a stretch in itself) in my suitcase along with my clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. I read most of my books these days through the Libby app (all you need is a library card for access) which can be used via your phone or Kindle. No need to spend tons of money on novels when I simply am not someone who rereads them! I like that I can use this one near water without fear of it getting destroyed (yikes).

    Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in 8GB and 32GB and in four colors).

    40. Or a subscription to Book of the Month because there are few things as soothing to a true bibliophile as cracking open a hardcover book and settling in to read.

It's the only subscription service I've kept up with and gifted to multiple people. Each month your gift recipient will be permitted to choose from a selection of books (and more recently, audiobooks!), all of which are different genres. Then the book they select will be delivered to their door. Half of my beautifully color coordinated bookcase is filled with books from BOTM and I couldn't be happier!

    I've quickly become such a fan of these headbands. I knew we were having my son's birthday at a local farm and that I'd, of course, want to wear denim. I wanted an accessory that was still girly and fun and would add some color to my look and this headband was perfect! I had worn a similar one from Rifle Paper Co. during the holiday season. so I knew I wouldn't have to worry about it squeezing my head or feeling uncomfortable. Will definitely end up ordering more for other occasions!

    Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $20 (available in 10 styles).

    42. And a "What Do You Meme?" Schitt's Creek Expansion Pack anyone who adores the show will agree is *~simply the best~* way to spend a Friday night (aside from binge-watching the show, of course).
