1. An undetectable mouse jiggler you'll regard as your "preciouuuuuus" (said like they do in Lord of the Rings) once you see how valuable it'll be for your work from home routine. Need to venture to the post office before it closes but don't want it to seem like you're signed off Slack? This lil' gadget has got your back.
Tech8 USA is a small business.
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in eight styles).
2. A too-cute wireless portable charger that'll likely be praised as your savior on more than one occasion if your phone just always happens to be dead when you need it most.
Check out a TikTok of the portable charger in action.
Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).
3. A robotic pool vacuum that'll make keeping your favorite summer hangout spot (your pool, duh) nice 'n' clean without much effort at all, so you can focus on the important things like applying sunscreen and acquiring an iced bev.
Promising review: "Where do I start! I previously purchased a few hundred dollar pool robot that was cordless but it kept getting stuck on the liner on the bottom. I live in Florida and we just had two "back to back" thunderstorms roll through so all of my neighbors leaves ended up in my pool. In two hours you can see the entire bottom of the pool is sparkling clean. I thought the price was high but when I looked at what this robot did I immediately changed my tune. The robot climbs the wall and scrubs as they go. This robot does its job and then some, from the larger leaves to the fine sand and dirt that was collected in the filter. Don't think about it just buy it!" —Jackie
Get it from Amazon for $649.
4. An electric painless hair remover that'll help you (temporarily) banish those pesky, unwanted fine hairs from various areas of your face with ease.
Promising review: "I have actually had mine for years. My cousin asked me about my clean face the other day, giving me the opportunity to tell her about it. I bought this one for her. It is easy to use, can be used anywhere, fits easily in small purses, is quiet and the battery life is good, besides being easy to clean. A must have!" —Candy Osias
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in five colors).
5. An adorable Echo Pop speaker you can use to pump your favorite playlist into any room (immediate mood booster!) and ask Alexa to help you make a to-do list at any given time.
Promising review: "I purchased the Echo Pop to replace my Echo Dot. I like that the Pop has a variety of colors to choose from. Also, the sound quality is so much better than the Dot. I don't have to repeat myself constantly, and it is great! I am so happy I got an Echo Pop!" —bibbygirl11
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in four colors).
6. Tozo earbuds many swear are *just* like AirPods but for waaaaaay cheaper — you'll finally be able to listen to your favorite podcast in peace.
Check out a TikTok of them if you're not yet convinced!
Promising review: "Okay these are by far the best earbuds I’ve ever used. No exaggeration. My husband had these in his Amazon cart a couple of months ago but never checked out. Well it’s about to be Christmas soon, so I chose to get these on the sly for him. When they came in I wanted to make sure everything was working correctly before wrapping them up for Christmas. The sound quality is absolutely perfect, the noice cancellation is AMAZING! They were on low and the sound was crystal clear. I asked my 6-year-old son to talk so I could see how well they canceled out noise and I couldn’t hear him, so I told him to shout and I still couldn’t hear him at all. My husband will absolutely love these!! Also, now I need to get myself a pair as well! Definitely happy with my purchase!" —Ashley Haley
Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five styles).
7. Rubbermaid's power scrubbing brush, for when you want to give your grout an all-inclusive spa treatment and bring it back to its squeaky-clean glory.
Promising review: "The Power Scrubber is life changing. I bought it several weeks ago with the intention of doing a deep clean 'sometime soon.' After an overflowing toilet incident, I had to make sure it got done right away. MY GROUT HAS NEVER BEEN CLEANER. I used some Comet and spray cleaner to get the job done, but this made short work for what typically requires 'a lot of elbow grease' and a spent toothbrush. With this tool, you really know you're getting in there and it's clean. I can't recommend this enough — I've already mentioned it to a neighbor, and a few friends, including one fanatical cleaner. We all agreed, it's such a necessary, perfect product." —Jojo
Get it from Amazon for $17.38.
Check out our full Rubbermaid Power Scrubber review.
8. A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's hair.
ChomChom is a small business! BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes adores this product:
"I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
9. A nifty Oxo Tot Grape Cutter because who on earth wants to spend their precious time cutting grapes??? This lil' gadget will ensure your kiddo's (and yours, hehe) favorite fruit is the perfect size without costing you an entire afternoon.
Watch a mom quartering grapes in a flash with this tool on TikTok.
Oh, and it's not just for grapes! It's also perfect for cherry tomatoes, berries, olives, and many reviewers say it works on a variety of fruits!
Promising review: "When we went to search Amazon for 'grape cutters,' I was worried that we may have hit rock bottom. It doesn't get more simple than slicing a freaking grape. I mean it's not difficult, doesn't take an enormous amount of time, and isn't even really that inconvenient (at least no more than cutting any other toddler food)...yet, my wife and I found ourselves dreading the process every time our daughter wanted a handful of grapes. We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong. It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. I only take time to write reviews on products that I feel are truly worth my time to endorse, and this little gadget was more than worthy. If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...you won't regret it." —Michael
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
10. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (apologies) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man.
Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine.
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
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in white and black).
11. A wall charger with six outlets and two USB ports in case you've managed to rack up *quite* a number of can't-live-without gadgets.
I have this outlet set up in my bathroom and it's great! I'm able to keep my source of music plugged in (who doesn't enjoy a shower dance party?) even when I'm using my straightener or curling iron. It's a helpful nightlight at night so when I inevitably get up to pee I don't have to wince at the overhead lights.
Promising review: "I work from home in a small apartment, and this really made my setup work the way I want it to. I need to use all six plugs; plus, I like to keep my phone and Mi-Fi charging while working too. This was the perfect thing for me to get everything plugged in and essentially retrofitted into a built-in apartment wall desk setup that was intended for the large desktop towers of the late '90s. I’m ordering a second one in hopes it transforms another part of my weird floor plan. Bonus: The USB ports seem to fast-charge my iPhone XS Max. I can go from dead to fully charged in about 90 minutes." —Moose
Get it from Amazon for $14.37.
12. A milk frother to pack a powerful, spinning punch despite looking rather delicate. It'll help transform your latte into one just like your favorite barista whips up for you at your go-to coffee shop. Delish.
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
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 45 styles).
13. A Fellow electric kettle that'll heat up faster than you can have the thought "I could go for a cup of coffee right now." It's so chic you likely won't be able to resist keeping it out on display all the time (I mean, look at it! It's a minimalist's dream come true!). It's the ideal tool for making pour-over beverages all the live long day. Bottoms up!
Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature-holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and heating it again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." —Emily A.
Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in 13 colors and styles) or from Amazon for $159.95+ (available in seven styles).
14. An instant-read digital thermometer, so you'll never have to guess "is my steak cooked?" again. You can grill with confidence!
Promising review: "As a working chef for over 30 years, I've gone through dozens of thermometers, and this one stands out. I actually purchased this by accident while buying several thermometers to try with the intent of buying a dozen for my crew. I was looking for thermometers that can be field-calibrated and as far as I can tell, this one can't. But I intend to buy more of these because they are accurate, easy to read, and just more pleasant to use. They are tough, and I love the ring on the end; I keep this one hanging on a hook near our ranges so I don't have to hunt it down. It does not ride easily in my chef's coat, but that is due to the longer probe. Which I LOVE. In two weeks I have used this one thermometer over 130 times, all with pleasure." —Cetaceous Dave
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
15. A cup rinser that'll make cleaning bottles, glasses, and mugs as easy as 1, 2, 3, which means you'll have more time to do more important things like practice that TikTok dance trend you've been itching to learn.
Check out a TikTok of the cup washer in action. To install, you can use the instructions and materials provided to easily hook it up to the hot water line. Note that this won't install on sinks without a flat edge!
Promising review: "Never knew I needed one until I saw it on TikTok, and with water bottles and toddler cups it is essential to my household!" —Gayla Brink
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in two styles).
16. 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. Forget about buying a new couch — your current one is about to look fresher than ever.
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
Get it from Amazon for $123.49.
17. A toothbrush holder and dispenser, because mornings are hard enough to cope with so you might as well mount this bad boy and let it dispense your toothpaste for you. It's the little things!
Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, cotton swabs, or flossers." —Sariyah J
Get it from Amazon for $16.77+ (available in three colors).
18. A Petcube, which is a reliable pet monitoring camera with a wide angle and night vision. Delightful if you're out and about but still want to keep an eye on your precious pup.
Petcube is a Ukrainian-based small business that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products. It can send you instant notifications via its app and sync with Amazon Alexa.
Promising review: "We have had the original Petcube for some time and have loved being able to see our furry friend (cat) when we are away. We had always talked about getting another one so that we could see more of her while we are traveling. Enter the new Petcube...a petite footprint with a wide-angle lens. Easy to set up and easy to use. Absolutely perfect." —NLVG
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
19. A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger you can break out and charge your iPhone, Apple watch, and AirPods all in one! Talk about a gadget that's worth investing in.
Check out a TikTok of the foldable 3-in-1 charger in action.
Promising review: "I use this product to charge my IPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers don't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —SBREDDY
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in nine colors).
20. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that'll fantastically suck up all the dust and debris you sweep its way — Rosie from The Jetsons is shaking!!!
Eye-Vac is a small business.
Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in six colors).
21. A rechargeable lighter, so you can light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambience without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid.
I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! I'll never have to buy another lighter again. My first charge lasted me seven months!
Promising review: "This is probably the coolest gadget I've ever purchased. I love using this to light candles. I haven't had to charge it since I bought it and charged it up initially, so I'd say the battery life is good. I got the pretty rose gold one and store it in my junk drawer in my kitchen. This would make a really fun gift or stocking stuffer. I would get this again and highly recommend it to other candle users." —Megan Elle
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 12 colors).
22. A mug warmer to keep on your nightstand so you can continue to sip on hot tea even if you completely forgot about it while getting a bit *too* invested in the bread week episode of The Great British Baking Show. No need to get out of bed and reheat it when you've already made yourself oh-so comfy!
BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes can confirm this gadget is worth the money:
"After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: 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 who'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 concaved-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 colors).
23. A Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum, complete with 10 tools and a ton of high-tech features (like a dust-highlighting laser!) your parents won't even know what to say when they see how incredibly it cleans.
I have this incredible device and cannot stop raving about it! This baby is *packed* with features that continue to amaze me each time I take it for a spin. Seriously, it has a built-in laser feature that literally highlights dirt, dust, and debris as you clean! You can read my full review about this Dyson vacuum here.
Promising review: "We bought this a couple of months ago, and has been great. A cordless vacuum will change how often you use it because it is so easy. It's great for stairs. I thought the laser thing was a little gimmicky until I started using it. It is disgusting! You can have your house professionally cleaned, and if you put the laser head on, you can see all the dust and pet hair that was missed. It came with a lot of attachments." —DerekP
24. A Logi Dock that'll impress anyone who works from home and is tired of their desk being cluttered by wires — this gadget will provide one easy location for them to plug their monitor, chargers, etc into while *also* acting as a speaker phone for their meetings!
My husband has this gadget and it's been a lifesaver for him. He uses the same monitor/mouse/etc for both his self-built PC and with the Macbook he works off of, so it was always a hassle to switch between the two and have enough ports available for all the things he wanted to plug-in. This totally solved the problem!
Get it from Logitech for $399 (available in two colors).
25. A Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor, which uses patented sensor fusion technology to track baby's vitals and nursery conditions. We really are living in the future.
It also tracks your baby's breathing and sleeping patterns, plays sleep sounds and lullabies, and allows you to talk to them through a two-way microphone. This is the monitor I use in my son's room and I have been nothing but impressed with it. I love that I can pull it up on my phone at anytime in the night, that it shows his breathing in real time, and that it isn't an eyesore in his room. It also has a fun feature that lets you snap a screenshot of your baby when they're on camera — trust me, you'll find them in many silly poses you just might want to capture.
Promising review: "This monitor is great! I'm so happy that I got it! The monitor was highly recommended by a number of friends. I was hesitant with the price, but it is 100% worth it. After ordering, it came very quickly, and was packaged nicely. I was so excited to unbox it. It was very easy to set up, and I had no issues connecting it to my internet. I was nervous about this, as many reviews mention it being challenging. The picture quality is very strong, even in night mode. I look forward to using it more, and the peace of mind that it will give me while my baby sleeps." —Stephanie Lawley
Get it from Amazon for $385.
26. A sunrise alarm clock to wake you up so pleasantly you'll forget that you're supposed to be cranky about heading off to work.
This lovely lil' gadget has seven different light settings, calming "wake up" noises, and can be set to gradually get brighter at 30, 20, or 10 minutes.
Promising review: "I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $32.88.
27. A veggie chopper you can use to dice onions in a flash — save your uncontrollable crying for the next time you watch The Notebook. It can also spiralize, slice, and chop!
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
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).
28. A TikTok Bluetooth scrolling remote that'll take your laziness trait to the next level but leave you feeling smug at the same time for working smarter not harder. You can set this bad boy up then get under your covers and enjoy some seriously cozy scrolling, hands-free.
You can also use the remote to take selfies on your phone from afar!
Check out a TikTok of the remote in action!
Promising review: "I love this for scrolling through TikTok videos on my phone while I'm in bed. It is comfortable to wear. I use it with a mounted phone holder, so it's completely hands free! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who spends hours scrolling on TikTok like I do!" —Shawn P.
Get it from Amazon for $20.95 (available in three colors).
29. A burr coffee grinder with 40 different grind settings that will become your morning bestie and help you perfectly grind your beans for Espresso drinks, cold brew, French press...etc.
Promising review: "This coffee grinder cost about twice what my old one cost, but it is money well spent. It is reasonably quiet, produces a uniform grind, and the ground coffee empties easily out of the container. My old one produced a powder that got on my hands and the counter, and I had to wash it out of the container. Don't waste your money on a cheap grinder." —Don Bishop
Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in two colors).
30. A self-stirring mug you can count on to flawlessly blend your sugar and creamer into your freshly brewed coffee.
Check out a TikTok of the self-stirring mug in action.
Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing." —Lina
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in five colors).
31. A thin bar light to brighten your gaming area so you can happily continue to play hours and hours (AND HOURS) of World of Warcraft without your partner asking "are you still sitting in the dark?"
Promising review: "It's a good option for a streamer that has an overhead camera that shows-off their custom keyboard, gaming mouse, or artisan desk mat. Highly recommended and for the price, it's worth every dollar you spend." —MarkusTechCorner
Get it from Amazon for $98.10+ (available in three styles).
32. A set of bag sealers you'll cherish every time you re-open a bag of your favorite cheese puffs — no stale surprises here! This handy dandy device uses heat to reseal any open bag to keep 'em tasting fresh.
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I love this little gadget. Believe it or not, I saw this on TikTok as an 'Amazon product you didn’t know you needed.' Since my older sons are on their own at college, they eat a lot of pre-packaged items. So we got one for each boy as a stocking stuffer. They were actually excited to try them out so the boys went in our pantry, opened new bags of chips and crackers just to re-seal them. Lol! It works pretty good for such a small device. The cutter even works so the bags that are mostly empty aren’t as big and don’t take up as much room. My husband wants one for our house now. Guess we’re getting another one." —Can7
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors).
33. A 12-in-1 Ninja oven that'll function as an air fryer in addition to all the standard toaster oven features (ya'know baking, roasting, toasting, etc). If your kitchen counter space is limited, adding this gadget into the mix (and getting rid of others that do the same functions) will be a much easier decision than trying to figure out what to cook for dinner.
I've been using this oven since April and it has honestly become SUCH a big part of my day-to-day. I always wanted to try using an air fryer, but never had enough counter space for multiple large appliances to be out all at once (I prioritized my coffee machine, OK?). This oven replaced my toaster and granted me access to so many more gadgets in one! Now that my son is a big fan of chicken nuggets (because, of course he is) we use the air fryer all the time. It heats things up quickly and efficiently and, honestly, I'm not sure how I lived so long without one. it's also great for re-heating leftovers or whipping up frozen meals. It's a must-have!
Promising review: "Ninja has blown their competition out of the water with this Double Oven. I have a very picky toddler who literally lives on nuggets and fries. But my husband loves to cook and have delicious meals. This double oven does it all… AT ONCE! It air fries, it bakes, it roasts and more! The double oven comes with two sheet pans, one air fry basket. Two wire racks, a crumb tray and a recipe book. It was easy to get cooking right away. The instructions and recipes were easy to follow. Cooking at once with two different meals has never been so easy." —Littlmiss83
34. A 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. Not to mention you can safely read it by the pool or at the beach.
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).
35. A splurge-worthy Logitech wireless mechanical keyboard complete with a cloud wrist rest that'll help you achieve that cozy gaming vibe you've been trying to replicate since falling down a TikTok rabbit hole about it. And! The keyboard isn't just a pretty face — it has customizable RGB lighting and a 25-hour rechargeable battery life.
The keyboard comes in a simple, but elegant, white but if you want to add a pop of color you can order a colorful plate for it from Logitech's store for $19.99! I personally have this keyboard and the cloud wrist rest, so I can confirm they're also great for daily use in addition to gaming.
My fellow BuzzFeed editor, Jenae Sitzes, also is a big fan of this set up:
"I've been using the wired version of this mechanical keyboard for months, both for gaming and for everyday work, and absolutely love it. I had a full-sized keyboard before, so I really appreciate the more compact tenkeyless design of this keyboard (which fits on my desk better). The keys sound perfectly clicky and feel great to type on, and the cloud wrist rest keeps my wrists supported really comfortably. And even though I've been using wrist rest cloud for 8+ hours a day for so long, it still looks totally new! My favorite thing is undeniably the aesthetic, though. It's the prettiest keyboard I've ever had, in a really sleek and modern way. I highly recommend it whether they play PC games or just work from home!"
Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (also available wired, and with or without a mouse).
36. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. Can you imagine measuring out formula and water by hand and then warming it up on the stove??? Certainly not in this decade.
The number one item I simply could not live without is the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Literally I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life.
It’s essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It has the capability of mixing formula with the proper amount of water and dispensing it at the *perfect* temperature for baby. It has a button on it so I can easily choose how many ounces I want for my son’s bottle, depending on how recently he’s eaten sometimes we need only need 2 oz instead of 4 oz, etc. The bottle settings will stay in place so while my baby is screaming (he gets hangry!) I just have to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the “start” button. It’s so easy I can literally do it with one hand while holding him.
The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I just do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needs to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I have to do is ensure the formula container is filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we don’t have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen while bleary-eyed and half asleep in the middle of the night. It really is a godsend and I don’t know what I’d do without it!
Get it from Baby Brezza for $179.99 (originally $229.99; available in two colors) or Target for $199.99 (in white).
37. A Nintendo Switch OLED with a 7-inch screen, a wide adjustable stand, enhanced audio, and an overall pleasant gaming experience you'll be thrilled to play.
I have the Nintendo Switch OLED and am a big fan! My husband has the original Switch and I have the Switch Lite, but this newest version has definitely made a good impression on me. I wasn't always enthused with the original version (my hands are small!) but, despite this one being similar in size, the OLED feels a lot lighter and easy to hold. The colors are the screen are beautiful and *so* clear. It connects very easily to the TV, so you can play multiplayer games at any time!
If you're looking for a new game to kickstart the fun, definitely check out The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. 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.
Promising review: "Starting off The OLED switch takes things to the next level. I used to play a lot of Mario games many years before, and I didn’t think I’d ever go back to playing Mario again. Nintendo has made it easy to play a lot of my favorite Mario games from back in the day through the online store. Amazon helped ensure that I had confidence with the delivery of my package, they sent me an OTP password through email to help ensure my package was delivered to the right person. I am very grateful to Amazon for helping provide me with a wonderful experience." —Jose A. Hernandez

38. An Xbox Series S console you'll never regret splurging on — you'll be able to virtually hang and play games with your friends all the time or dive into an enticing solo adventure.
I have an Xbox Series S and am forever impressed by all the things it can do in addition to being used for playing video games. You can download a slew of apps on it (Discord, Spotify, Disney+, the list goes on) and essentially use it as a smart TV. It's the smallest Xbox they've come out with so far (I was literally shocked at how tiny and sleek it is when I took it out of the box), but is still packed with great sound and visual specs. My husband set it up in our room so we can hang out and play games before going to sleep — it's great!
If you're intimidated by the thought of trying to set up the console, you can actually book a one-on-one appointment with a Microsoft Expert to set the entire thing up for you!
Promising review: "I'm a PC gamer, I own a jet powered PC at home, but since I can't lug a 50 lb system internationally for work, I decided to give the series S a try to hold me over. I am enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would, the small size of the console is one of the most appealing aspects for me, aesthetically and it will barely take up room in my luggage. Games like Mass Effect: Legendary Edition and Halo Infinite look surprisingly good for an entry level machine. I'm very much enjoying playing all of my games on this until I get home to my pc. The Xbox Series S is a great value and worth buying." —James Lowe

39. An electric waterproof bubble massage mat complete with a built-in heater and an aroma clip for essential oil aromatherapy. Just imagine how wonderful this will feel after a long workout or a long day.
Promising review: "This product provides a great massage technique for my back muscles. I experience a lot of pain and tension in my shoulders. And I have chronic pain in my lower back. I also like the aromatherapy pad. What a great, soothing, and relaxing experience for the low cost." —Octavia
Get it from Amazon for $96.63.
40. A Dyson Corrale straightener that'll make you never want to use another brand's again — it can be used for 30 minutes without a cord, has flexible plates, and chimes to let you know when it's done heating up.
I was gifted this magnificent straightener and, boy, do I consider myself lucky. This is a gadget I typically wouldn't have splurged on, but after getting to try it out first hand I'd like to eat the words I just typed. This thing is AWESOME. It has its own stand so you don't have to worry about placing it down on an inappropriate surface (ahem, your bedroom carpet) while sectioning off the next part of your hair. It also heats up faster than it takes to watch a TikTok video — legit like SECONDS. It's very lightweight and straightens my hair in half the time it usually takes and can be used without a cord! It really is an incredible gadget that is worth every penny.
Promising review: "I am 38 years old and I've finally found the one! By the one I mean the ONLY hair straightener in the world that delivers salon quality results at home. For the first time in my life, I can stop going to the salon once a week to get my hair done, and actually make it look amazing by myself. Hats off to the whole Dyson team for inventing this hair tool, I'm a guaranteed lifer. This is also the first time in my life any product has impressed me so much that I took the time to do a review, I'm just so excited to finally be able to my hair at home and have it look absolutely professional. Thank you Dyson!" —MaggieMo82

41. A super cool gadget called Tidbyt you can customize with apps of your choosing (think train times, weather, calendar, etc) to display all you need to know at any given time.
Tidbyt (which was created by a small business of the same name) is sort of a clock display but does so much more than that. There's a ton of applications users can plug into the gadget to customize it to their liking. Current practical app options include weather, clock, stocks, news, and sports scores. However, the fun *really* starts when they start to dive into the "just for fun" applications like "Burger of the Day," "Who's That Pokémon?" "Nyan Cat," and "Super Mario Kart." They can even pre-schedule the apps to appear at specific times. You're going to blow any techie away with this one-of-a-kind gift.
Promising review: "I enjoy having this even more than I thought I would. I have currently: three clocks, live day/night time zone map, Doppler radara, Spotify now playing, most recent MegaMillions numbers, live near Earth objects, and some photos. Love it!" —Jade O.
Get it from Tidbyt for $179 (originally $199; available in two colors).
42. An Echelon Smart Bike to make you feel like you're in the midst of an intense workout class without the added pressure of *actually* being around people.
I have an Echelon bike (and so do my parents and my in-laws) and absolutely love it. The classes are super fun and engaging, the instructors are delightful and motivational, and the soundtracks for each class are fantastic. You can select your workout type (hills, speed, a mix of a variety of things) and the type of music you feel like sweating to (pop, '80s, '90s, rock, funk, hip hop, etc!). It's genuinely a nice community and a fun way to exercise!
Promising review: "Due to the pandemic that limits outdoor activities. I decided to look for an indoor cardio workout machine and end up getting the Echelon bike. To my surprise, assembly was a snap and performance was a 5 star. During operation the bike performs so quietly, making it a perfect fit for our needs — especially living in an apartment building. I definitely recommend this bike for cardio enthusiasts and active individuals seeking for a gym-worthy bike offering a different degree of workout." —Cris

43. A motion-activated toilet light, a must-have for anyone who is tired of stumbling over themselves when they get up in the middle of the night to pee.
Promising review: "I've had this device for a little while now and I absolutely love it! Light detector and motion detector work together to only turn the toilet light on when it senses darkness and movement. I love that there are 16 different colors you can choose from; and with each of the 16 colors, you can raise or lower the brightness, which kind of makes color choices even bigger if you consider the different color brightness a new color. You can either leave your toilet light cycling through all 16 colors while on, or you have the option of choosing one of the colors and keeping it on that color. I ended up getting two of these toilet lights for both of my bathrooms and my guest's as well as I love it." —Sergio Rios

44. And an adorable (and functional) mini Marshall speaker you can count on to fill your entire apartment with the sweet sounds of Harry Styles and his watermelon sugar or SZA's plan to "Kill Bill." Whatever your musical preference — this lil' gadget will make sure *everyone* hears it loud and clear.
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer is a big fan, she said: "I have this speaker and I *love* it — it lives right on my bookshelves (without taking up basically *any* room) and fills my apartment with high quality sound. The lil' portable size is perfect so I can grab it and take it into the kitchen for baking jams™ or into my bathroom for my latest in-shower karaoke session (sorry neighbors). I also barely *ever* have to charge it. And yes, that *is* a Jane Austen action figure next to it."
Promising review: "This is an amazing speaker! I use it throughout my home, and visitors wonder if I have surround-sound speakers. When I show them that the music is coming out of this tiny speaker, they can’t believe it! It’s small, but has a surprising heft (weight), and a very sturdy construction. This isn’t some tinny, flimsy, plastic thing. It’s metal, has a rubbery covering around it, and most importantly AMAZING sound quality. Plenty of bass, and great balance. It’s also very easy to pair with my iPhone. Turn on Bluetooth, and look for the name 'Emerson' (no idea why it’s called that), and click. A few moments later, you’ll hear a BUM-BUM (a bit like the Law & Order sound), and it’s connected." —S. W. Helms
