    Promising review: "I have had these lights up for approximately five months. They lit up right out of the box. They have been through a snowstorm, ice storm, and massive rain, and are still perfect. They are pretty easy to hang. They are shatterproof, which I love." —D Kelly

My husband is a contractor so he has all the tools but it is perfect to have in the house when I ask him to hang a shelf, a picture, or whatever. It has lots of handy tools inside, my husband was impressed with the quality of each tool and the variety. Plus he feels cool holding Thor's hammer, haha." —Monica Aldrich

    Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

    Promising review: "I like these so much that I bought another pair! They did not need to be broken in. I literally took them out of the box and was able to wear them all day in Disneyland. My feet never hurt. They are light as a feather and cushioned perfectly. I did have to order a half size smaller than I normally wear. I wear a 7M and bought a 6.5M. My foot is also wide and these shoes gave me some room. It is a sturdy shoe without being too confining. I have had my first pair for 5 months and the soles don’t look worn at all. Buy them if you are craving a comfortable shoe. I’m sure happy that I did." —R.W.

    Promising review: "I’ve had these for over a year.

I’ve never felt my skin be this soft in my life. Make sure you follow instructions and don’t use soap first! Absolutely a must have for anyone who uses fake tans, or anyone who has dry skin!" —AJM

    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

    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

    19. 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 might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N.

    20. 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 $12.59 (available in two styles and sizes S–L).

    21. 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!

    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

    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 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 $12.29.

    23. Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while you're parked 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.

    reviewer dipping waffle fry in sauce being held by clip

    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 $10.90+ (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10).

    24. 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

    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

    26. 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 $5.97+ (available in three sizes).

    27. 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

    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

    31. 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.

    gif of person popping open icebreaker to add ice to water cup

    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

    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

    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 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 many shades).

    35. 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.

    I have this Ruggable bath mat, and it's, honestly, so comfortable. I spend a lot of time sitting on it while giving my toddler 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).

    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 $8.31

    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!

    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 $10.99+ (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 $9.99+ (available in three colors and three-packs). 

    39. 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

    Get it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in eight colors).

    40. And a splurge-worthy double stroller for parents with more than one tyke to tote around — it comes in stylish colors, folds easily for storage and travel, and fits through doorways. It's essentially what stroller dreams are made of!

    This double stroller is so magical it meets all of Disney Parks stroller requirements! It also has a bunch of accessories you can add on if you want to make your life *even easier*.

    Promising review: "I got the Zoe twin for our upcoming Disney trip, but little did I know it was going to be our everyday stroller. It is such a nice quality stroller. My kids love it and say that it is very comfortable. I knew this stroller was a winner when I was able to get it out of the trunk and unfold it one-handed while holding my 2-year-old." —Samantha

    Get it from Zoe Baby for $529 (available in five colors).
