    54 Practical Presents To Gift To Yourself This Holiday Season Because You’re Responsible, Damnit

    Let me be the first to tell you it is absolutely acceptable to gift yourself cleaning products.

    1. A plush comforter because it'll pretty much transform your bedroom into a luxury suite at a 5-star hotel. Literally all you'll have to do is put it on top of your bed.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This is our second one of these comforters. Our first lasted four years and is still in pretty good shape, but I wanted a new color. I am so impressed by the quality and price of these. I ordered the extended queen size this time, and it is perfectly roomy! Definitely recommend. They aren't super hot, and we even use ours in the summer." —Cassie T.

    Get it from Amazon for $23.81 (available in six colors and in eight sizes).

    2. 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!

    Promising reviews: "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." —Meowser

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    3. A 7-quart Crock-Pot slow cooker you can use to make your favorite cold weather foods (soups, chili, stews, etc) without having to crank up your oven on an already warm day. Cozy food = cozy home 🥰.

    Promising review: "This works amazing! I was surprised with it being so cheap but I use this so much especially during the fall and winter when I’m able to just throw everything in for a soup. Love this Crock-Pot!" —Olivia Adams

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    4. And a pack of slow cooker liners, because who wants to ruin the warm, cozy day they've curated with the unpleasant task of cleaning out their Crock-Pot? With the addition of these lovely liners you can simply toss it, wipe down your appliance, and get back to enjoying your evening.

    These liners fit 3 quarts–8 quarts.

    Promising review: "I will never NOT have some on hand. These things are a lifesaver (and time saver). Great quality and thickness. They don't rip easily if I accidentally scrape with a fork. Highly recommend!!" —Erin M

    Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $6.96.

    5. Bio-Oil, which reviewers swear by for helping to diminish scars and stretch marks while *also* moisturizing their sensitive skin. It's filled with rosemary oil, lavender oil, chamomile oil, vitamin A, vitamin E, and PurCellin oil to help keep your skin feeling (and looking!) great.

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord was super impressed by this product, she said:

    "FWIW re: scars, though, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago, and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."

    Promising review: "I had to have a freckle excised to check for cancer. The wound was very deep and left a scar (the one in the center). The other two scars are actually from the bandages I used to cover the wound. The scar made me self conscious, and I found this online with great reviews. I will say that if I had used it every single day, I think the scar would be completely gone. However, even with using it maybe three or four times a week, the results are amazing! I am very happy with this product. The scent is lovely and light, and I love the consistency. Highly recommend!!" —Alexis Melendez

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    6. Illuminating nail concealer to help you create a simple mani without having to spend half your paycheck at the salon. 💅

    Reviewers love how buildable this polish is. Additionally, Londontown is a small business that primarily sells nail care.

    Promising review: "I’m not a big review writer but I had to write one about this polish! Now, it has only been a few days but so far it has been the best nail polish I have ever used! I was hesitant because it’s way more than I have ever spent on a nail polish. But it is so worth it. I don’t know why it seems so different but it was easy to apply and looks as good as when I get a manicure. I have never had that when I have done my own nails! So far, I am hooked!" —jenc

    Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in four shades).

    7. Wad-Free, which attaches to the corners of your sheets to help them dry faster, without wrinkles, and prevent them from turning into a hungry monster that swallows up your socks for all of eternity.

    Plus, they're BPA-free, reusable, and created by a small business during the pandemic. 

    Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.

    8. A Crack'em egg cracker and spoon rest that'll ensure your scrambled delights will be shell-free every single time — and how cool will you look cracking eggs open single handedly???

    Crack'em is a veteran-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in family-friendly kitchen accessories. 

    Check out a TikTok of the egg cracker in action. 

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

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors).

    9. A rectangular Lazy Susan you pop right into your fridge and amaze yourself when you discover just how easy it now is to now get to all the treats you've stored in the back of the fridge (presumably to hide from your roommates).

    Promising review: "Wow! I love this turntable organizer! I can fit so many items on it, and because of that, I now have so much more space on the door shelves. With this organizer, I will have easy access to all of those extra items that just don't have their own space. Now they do have a place to go! I would highly recommend this product to everyone who wants to feel more organized and doesn't want to lose items in their fridge." —Amazon Customer 

    Get it from Amazon for $19.80

    10. An attachable Stanley cup snack bowl that'll take your favorite drinking vessel to the next level — a drinking and snacking vessel! Fill it with cookies, chips, fruit, candy... whatever! Once you've stocked it up you won't have to leave your bedroom until morning.

    Psst — lots of reviewers say this fits their Stanley cup *and* the cheaper alternative versions of it, like this $29.99 Simple Modern tumbler

    Promising review: "If using this snack holder on my Stanley is wrong, I don't want to be right. Now when I sit at baseball tournaments all day, I don't have to keep reaching into snack bags and coolers. We all get the snack we want and never have to carry more than a cup. I do get some odd looks but if they had one, they wouldn't be judging anymore. Sits very sturdily on my tumbler but comes off easily when I'm done with it." —Abby

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors). 

    11. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker you can use to pretend you're Cinderella's Fairy Godmother to turn frozen fruit into a magically delicious dessert.  Reviewers swear it has the texture of ice cream or sorbet. Yuuuum!

    Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

    Get it from Amazon for $34.18+ (available in five colors). 

    12. A pack of dual-sided SneakErasers — one side of them cleans scuffs, dirt stains, and grimes, and the other side whitens them. It doesn't matter whether you have an extensive collection or a single, beloved pair of sneaks'... you need these in your cleaning arsenal.

    Check out a TikTok of the SneakErasers in action. 

    Promising review: "I have a couple pairs of sneakers I stopped wearing because they started looking a bit grungy. Just couldn't justify throwing them away though, because they were still in great shape and not very old. I came across these sponges and took a chance. They work like a charm. I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome. " —Spencer

    13. Rainbow wineglasses you will love *so* much you'll likely want to crack open a bottle of vino and put them to use immediately.

    Promising review: "These glasses are amazing! The glass is so thin so it feels good sipping the wine. Great bargain for glassware that is currently HOT on the market right now!" —Tammy J Rose

    14. sandwich cutter and sealer that'll make it easier than ever to make Smuckers Uncrustables copycats at home — embrace your love of kid-friendly meals once and for all!

    I took the plunge and ordered this lil' kit and it was SO easy to use. My first attempt (pictured above) took literally two seconds to do. My bread was on the smaller side, but it still produced a perfect crust-less PB&J!

    Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak

    Get it from Amazon for $15.96

    15. Java Sok to keep your drink chilled, perfect for anyone who is sick and tired of drinking watered-down iced coffee. You can't help it that you had a very busy morning fielding emails — and your beverage shouldn't have to pay the price!

    Java Sok is a small business that sells an array of reusable neoprene cup holders designed to keep drinks colder and eliminate condensation.

    Promising review: "Obsessed! Great stocking stuffers or a gift to yourself! Will be buying more. I’m someone who takes a while to drink their drinks (mom life) so it keeps my drinks from watering down! Love this product! Feels like a coooozy" —Thumbs up

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in a variety of prints and five sizes).

    16. Gentle 2-in-1 flossing toothbrushes which will clean your teeth beautifully but also give you extra room in your bag for other essentials since they'll take up way less space than an electric toothbrush and packages of floss.

    Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Amazon

    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  also 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 difference 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.

    17. Pastel reusable rubber gloves that'll protect your hands from all the chemicals you might come into contact with when cleaning your bathroom while also adding a touch of fun to a not-so-fun chore.

    Promising review: "I have always struggled with using the reusable gloves previously because my hands are so small. I love these gloves. I ordered the small and they fit perfectly. The length is adequate (not too long) and they are roomy enough to not be cumbersome but tight enough to not move around. Order these gloves! They will not disappoint!" —K. Mauren

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $12.74 (available in two styles and sizes S–L).

    18. Self-adhesive sliding under-desk drawers for anyone who has a plethora of pens but no room for a filing cabinet or clunky desk — these can be popped right under the sleek space-saving desk you already own!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This product works exactly as I'd hoped and is now neatly under my desk without taking up so much room that I bump it or knock it off when I sit down. Adhesive stuck on easily and feels very sturdy. Remember to be realistic in terms of the weight of objects you put in these drawers (i.e. don't fill it with heavy items and then get upset when the adhesive wears down quickly). Pens, paperclips, sticky notes, earbuds, and scissors all fit in mine and I will definitely buy these again for our other desks." —Shopping Mama

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors).

    You can also check out these under-desk storage products to clear up some more clutter on your desktop!

    19. An airplane phone holder to clip onto the tray in front of you whenever you travel — never stress about only owning wireless headphones again! No need to *only* choose from the handful of meh movies the airline is showing.

    Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on-the-go.  

    Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra long haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

    Get it from Amazon for $9.46.

    20. Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while you're in the car just tastes better and you shouldn't have to sacrifice your favorite dipping sauce to do so! Thanks to this lil' clip you really can have it all.

    Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela

    Get set of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10).

    21. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer reviewers adore because of its lightweight texture and how wonderfully it works to reduce the appearance of pores. You can also count on it to help you apply your makeup smoothly and evenly.

    reviewer with their makeup done
    reviewer holding the tin of beige colored primer

    I, like many others (it has over 23,000 5-star reviews on Amazon) have this primer and also agree that it's fantastic! It really does go on my skin so smoothly, I can barely even feel that I've put any primer on at all. My makeup stays on so nicely when I take the time to apply it over it. And at a price like this? Ya can't beat it.

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and thought I'd take a chance. I have sensitive skin and have to watch what I use. I LOVE this product! Goes on smooth and you don't need to use a lot. I put it on before I put on my foundation. Makes a huge difference. Highly recommend and will buy again!!" —Brooks Crim

    Get it from Amazon for $10.

    22. A packing list pad that'll ensure you remember every last item you needed to bring with you on your vacay — from your toothbrush to your passport, no item will be left behind.

    The
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I hate packing — I mean, I really hate packing! I am always afraid I am going to forget something, and the entire ordeal is a stressful one for me. Since I have to travel a lot, this is a game-changer. No more guessing if I forgot my underwear — everything I need is on this list. I am thinking of just keeping one bag totally packed, filled with the items on the list, and just add my suit in when I am ready to travel. :)" —Dr. Oceanfront

    Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three styles)

    23. 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.

    Check it out in action on TikTok!

    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: "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. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. Highly recommend!" —Marissa

    Get it from Amazon for $5+ (available in three sizes).

    24. 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!

    Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Also! Fullstar is a small business!

    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 $23.95 (available in three colors).

    25. A pair of wireless sleep headphones, because we're basically living in the future — you can listen to music, a podcast, or your go-to comfort show (helloooo endless hours of Gilmore Girls) to help you fall asleep without fruitlessly attempting to get cozy with earbuds bulging out of your ears.

    The headphones connect via Bluetooth and have 33 feet of wireless range (meaning your phone doesn't have to be right next to you). The controls are on the forehead, which makes it comfortable for back and side sleepers, and they are made to block out ambient noise.

    Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and since I have so much trouble finding quality headphones I decided to try it. I’m very happy with the sound quality and comfort of these. I’m able to fall asleep to my music or podcast without having to limit myself to sleeping on my back or losing an ear bud in my bed in the middle of the night. It makes working out easier as well. The value is worth the quality. I would recommend." —Thunder Muffin

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 17 colors). 

    26. An acupressure mat and pillow set to help reduce muscle tension and back pain — a must-have for attempting to restore your body to its prime after an extra-long work day.

    Promising review: "Honestly, a friend sent me a TikTok video on this item. I was like for 20 bucks I'll try it, and oh my god, I have lower back problems and 20 minutes lying on this spiking mat helped relieve pressure. I work remotely and am sitting down for 8–10 hours a day, so tension builds up and this totally worked. So many ways to try using the mat." —Arlington Ink

    Promising review: "I am so happy with my purchase. It keeps the sun out and makes me smile whenever I see it in my window. 😂 5/5 recommended!" —Stephanie

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    28. An Icebreaker gadget to ensure you'll always have fresh ice at your finger tips — simply fill it, pop it into the freezer, use the handles to crack the ice (once it has frozen, obvs) then pour the cubes directly into your drink! It's leakproof and dishwasher safe.

    Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business estabished in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen. 

    Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp

    29. set of pastel kitchen utensils so you can embrace the growing Barbie Core trend and decorate your kitchen like it's, quite literally, a Dream House. Aside from just being SUPER cute, reviewers have noted that these utensils are great against heat resistance and can be tossed right into the dishwasher for cleaning.

    Check out a TikTok of the utensil set in action. These can withstand temps up to 392°F.

    Promising review: "Really cute set and the quality is good too, so a win-win for me! It is dishwasher-safe. I tried one of the pieces washed in the dishwasher and it came out just fine. For longevity I plan to just hand-wash because I love things in pink! They're heat resistant — I used the spatula to cook bacon and pressed on the pan and nothing bad happened to it. I've had this set for a month now and been using it every day; it still looks as good as new. No burns/melted marks; no discoloration. I have washed it in the dishwasher multiple times and they come out fine. Easy to clean." —Pookie Bear

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six colors).

    30. 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

    31. 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.

    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

    32. A Quick Dry Polish from Olive and June, so even if you're short on time you can still give your nails the manicure they deserve.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Olive and June

    I have *so* many Olive and June products it should be a crime — that being said, the Quick Dry polishes are a 10/10 in my book. I'm a mom of a toddler so free time is not something that comes easily for me these days. However, I feel naked if my nails aren't done. These polishes have been an absolute godsend for me! They really do dry shockingly fast but without sacrificing any quality of the polish itself! In the photo above I'm wearing Pomodoro with Fairy over it for some shimmer. I think it took me 10 minutes total to do three coats of polish and a top coat (including drying!), so I was able to get right back into all the messy tasks that come along with being a parent. The brand has 32 different Quick Dry shades to choose from, so there's definitely an option that'll work for everyone. 

    Get it from Olive and June for $7.50 (available in 32 shades).

    33. A washable Ruggable bath mat you can literally throw directly into the washing machine to ensure it gets a much-needed deep clean every so often.

    Ruggable

    I have this Ruggable bath mat, and it's, honestly, so comfortable. I spend a lot of time sitting on it while giving my baby a bath (lol), and it's surprisingly plush. I love that you can interchange the style (the cover is removable) and also toss it directly into the washing machine to clean it! I also get a ton of compliments on it from guests in my home!

    Promising review: "I really love the Bella Bouquet in my bathroom and since the background is white I wash it every week. We forget to take our shoes off before entering the bathroom. We have hard wood floors in the entire house (1928 stucco bungalow) so there is not a carpet to 'clean' off our shoes before we enter the bathroom. It is the only bathroom in the house so it is used frequently! I knew I would be washing it frequently, but it is so fresh and cheery and I always smile when I enter the bathroom!" —Ruth

    Get it from Ruggable for $80+ (available with or without the mat).

    34. A Grogu night-light that, for lack of a better term, can become your *guiding light* as you make your way through the hallway in the middle of the night when you'll inevitably have to pee.

    I am admittedly obsessed with "The Child" and can't get enough of him — that includes letting him reign over my bathroom at night in the form of the night-light.

    Promising review: "So cute and I love that it turns on when it senses it is dark. Would also make a cute gift! Could be brighter, but it is perfect for what I was looking for and adds fun to my home." —Julie

    Get it from Amazon for $6.25.

    35. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens — apply it directly to your teeth, let it sit a minute or two, hum "My Shiny Teeth and Me" from The Fairly OddParents, and enjoy your fresh-looking pearly whites.

    You can use each pen about 20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades.

    Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack).

    36. A blackhead scrub stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!"

    See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping's TikTok!

    Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly

    Get it from Amazon for $11.88

    37. A produce container that'll also double as a colander so you can rinse off your fruits and veggies without having to *then* transfer them into a separate container. Not to mention they come in cuuuuute colors!

    small product containers in pastel pink, blue, and darker blue
    Amazon

    These containers are dishwasher-, microwave-, and freezer-safe!

    Promising review: "I really wanted to see if this worked so I purchased two packages of strawberries. I washed all the berries and let them dry throughly. I put half in my berry keeper box and the other in the plastic container from the store. My daughter had to ask for help with the new berry keeper; she had difficulty opening it and closing it sometimes. The berry keeper kept strawberries for 15 days, the grocery store container only kept them 6 days. Groceries aren’t cheap and I can use anything to prolong the life of my produce. Washed well in the dishwasher on the top rack. I’ll be purchasing more of these attractive quality boxes. I need one for blueberries and grapes." —Toogreen

    Get it from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in three colors and various sets). 

    38. Shower door towel hooks, so you'll never find yourself standing around in the nude, rubbing your eyes because you *accidentally* got shampoo in them (again), and reaching for a towel that's just out of reach. 

    Promising review: "A very sturdy shower hook! I’ve had these on my wishlist a while and I’m glad I got them. The rubber sticks well to the shower glass and they’re very heavy duty!" —April Bennett

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.39+ (available in three colors and three-packs). 

    39. A silicone toilet brush with a sturdy drain-cleaning tweezer hidden inside the handle, perfect for helping you keep your bowl clean and assist you in removing the inevitable clumps of gag-worthy, wet hair that always find their way into your shower drain and smells so bad.

    Promising review: "I needed a new toilet brush that would fit in a confined space and didn't tip over easily. The BOOMJOY toilet brush is stylish — if that is an adjective that can be used to describe a toilet brush — functional, and compact. The silicone bristles seem to do the job they were designed to do." —Snowlady

    Get it from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in 10 colors).

    40. Flatform sandals you absolutely need if you have a tropical vacation on the books — thanks to their cushion-y base, easy on-and-off straps, and ability to go with a whole array of styles.

    Promising review: "These sandals, true to their name, are my new 'go to' sandals. The style is simple, modern, and comfortable right out of the box. As with all Nisolo products, the quality is top-notch. I am a true size 8, but 8.5 fit better in this sandal. The almond color is beautiful and goes with everything." —Erica

    Get them from Nisolo for $138 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and eight styles).

    41. SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it'll reduce under-eye circles and puffiness thanks to the glacial waters its formulated with. It's so freakin' cute!!! Who wouldn't want to improve their skin with the help of a lil' polar bear?

    Promising reviews: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben

    30 Watt is a small business that sells a variety of giftable products.

    Promising review: "Bought this as a birthday present for my best friend. We often drink wine together and I know she often drinks wine in the bathtub. She loved this gift and thought it was quite entertaining and the perfect invention for her. If I had a bathtub I would be buying a second one for myself." —Ally Stage

    Get it from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in four colors).

    43. plush blanket reviewers swear is *just like* a Barefoot Dreams (y'know, the blanket the Kardashians are always seen toting onto their private jets?) but without the extra dollar signs on the price tag.

    Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 12 styles and two sizes). 

    44. set of matte hair clips to ensure that even on your messiest of hair days you'll still look fabulous. 

    an array of claw clips

    Former BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde has these and loves 'em! She said:

    "I've owned this set for about a year, and I am reaching for them constantly! I used to be someone who would tie my hair up in a messy bun whenever I'm doing things around the house, but I noticed how that would really start damaging my hair after a while. Instead, I just clip my hair back with one of these, and my long, thick hair stays in place without the claw jamming into my head. I have some other clips lying around that I should probably get rid of because I only ever exclusively use these!"

    Promising review: "I will admit I bought these from seeing them on TikTok and I needed new clips for my thick hair. I am not disappointed and beyond glad I got them. The colors are gorgeous and they stay put without hurting my head. I'm very impressed." —Jessica

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 14 sets).

    45. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo because who has time to wash their hair these days anyways? This lovely lil’ product will keep your locks looking fabulous even when you haven’t found a spare moment to indulge in an “everything shower.”

    The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush. 

    Promising review: "I never understood how people could go more than two days without washing their hair and now I know. This has been a life saver! I was looking for an alternative to my spray dry shampoo and this is even better. It literally dries up the oil and makes hair look freshly washed. I used to have to wash my hair every other day and now I can stretch it, which is amazing for a busy mom who barely has any time. I’m stocking up!" —Mandy

    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

    47. luggage drink caddy to attach to your wheeled luggage — it'll become your saving grace when traveling during the busiest times of year. You can use it to hold your Starbies, phone, ID, etc and prevent you from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport.

    Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it’s my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

    48. magnetic meal planner that'll ideally take the stress right out of trying to figure out what on earth to eat this week. And you can use the shopping list as you finish up staple items —  no more realizing you're out of flour when you had your heart set on baking cookies.

    This handy dandy notepad is from Bloom Daily Planners, a woman-owned small business. It features the meal plan on one side and a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off on the other!

    Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone, then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. Its being magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.

    49. self-stirring mug you can count on to flawlessly blend your sugar and creamer into your freshly brewed coffee.

    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

    50. An instant-read digital thermometer, so you'll never have to guess "is my steak cooked?" again. You can grill with confidence!

    Amazon

    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 $8.79.

    51. portable lock box designed to be secured around two beach chairs, so you can stow your wallet/phone/keys away safely and enjoy a long swim without constantly having to poke your head up to check that your items are still there.

    You can also use this in your room to keep valuables protected. Additionally, SafeGo is a small business!

    Promising review: "I bought this to take on a vacation to the Virgin Islands because my husband is super paranoid about leaving valuables unattended on the beach. At first, he scoffed that this little plastic thing wasn’t going to stop a thief, and I had wasted my money. Then he admitted that the plastic was pretty sturdy, and it was cool that we could secure the cable to our beach chairs, a fence, or a tree (most petty thieves don’t carry around cable cutters). Next thing I know, he’s storing his wallet, phone, and room keys in it along with mine. He laced the cable through other things he didn’t want stolen, like the bags containing our snorkel gear. Neighboring beachgoers asked about it and where they could get one, and he was quick to demonstrate its features. And when we got home, I overheard him showing it to his friends, with as much approval as he could muster. Hate to say I told you so...OK, no I don’t." —Patsy

    53. Renpho percussion massager — a must-have if you’re forever complaining about the knots in your back and wishing you could take a daily trip to the spa.

    Check out a TikTok of the massager in action. 

    Promising review: "I have tried EVERYTHING for my feet, nothing works and I am always in pain. It came, I tried it out, and I thought wow, that feels AWESOME. But the true test is how do you feel the next day right? You cannot always walk around with a massage gun in your hand. The next day, I felt AMAZING. AMAZING. I used it on my hubby's back too, and he said he felt so much better today as well! In addition, this one is way QUIETER than my original massage gun. It's just really a quality piece. You won't be disappointed in this one. It really is what it says. I know it is hard to choose from all the models on the internet, but this one is the real deal. It's worth the money if you have pain." —L Johnson

    54. And a lil' car trash can, so the next time you pick up fast food, you'll have a designated spot to toss your (likely) greasy bag instead of letting it live on the floor in front of your passenger seat.

    Promising review: "Love this trash can! I drive a small car, and it fits perfectly in the back behind the center console. Before this, I always used whatever random bags I found floating around, but this is so much better. No spills, and it looks great." —Stacey Dawson
