1. A pack of magical flames that'll transform your fireplace into one seemingly filled with magic and dancing colors — who wouldn't want that?
2. Magnetic leakproof travel capsules, so cute and useful you'll wonder how you've lived so long without 'em — they stack (amazing) and can be filled with pills, creams, jewelry, etc! Take everything you may need along on your travels without worrying about 'em taking up too much space.
3. A set of Sea Bands that'll target the acupuncture point on your wrists to, ideally, help reduce nausea. A must-pack for anyone who is prone to get car or seasick.
I (Heather) also used to sleep with these during my first (and second, if we're being honest) trimester of pregnancy to try and get some relief from the relentless nausea.
Promising review: "These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially car sickness. My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So, I knew that a long roadtrip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. At one point, I did have one child remove their bands because they said they were getting too tight. But after only a few minutes without them, a headache started to come on, so they immediately put them back on, and the relief was instant. I have suffered for decades, and now, I know better. I will never travel without mine again!" —1SmartCookie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.42 (available in adult and children's sizes).
4. A levitating planter you can use to convince everyone else in your life that when you were "studying abroad" you were *actually* learning to cast spells at Hogwarts. It's leviosa, not leviosaaaa!
5. Alleyoop's Pen Pal that'll replace your eyeliner, lip liner, brow pencil, and highlighter in your makeup bag so you'll have extra room to pack hair accessories, lipsticks, etc!
6. A sunset-mimicking lamp to make every hour feel like golden hour — perfect if your if your space isn't known for having the greatest natural light.
7. Cleaning putty that'll help you remove all the dust and debris from the hard-to-reach crevices in your car. Psh, and to think you were going to PAY someone to clean out your car.
8. A car vent 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.
Saucemoto is a small business!
Promising review: "Very useful! I love that the cup is removable so if you have one of those giant Chick-Fil-A ketchup cups, it can sit within the holder without the added cup, but a smaller sauce like from Wendy’s can sit inside the additional cup so it won’t fall through." —catherine
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and four colors).
9. An overflow cap that'll ensure your bubble bath stays filled to the brim for the ultimate soaking experience — yes, even if you stay in there for hours and hours.
10. A Trtl neck pillow, so you'll never wake up mid-flight to discover you've been out cold and drooling all over your neighbor's shoulder. (Yikes!) It's surprisingly supportive and looks waaaay more stylish than those U-shaped pillows.
Former BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde loves this product, she said:
"I've used this for the past few years and swear by it! Before this, I always found traditional neck pillows uncomfortable and would end up ditching them halfway through the flight and getting frustrated. The Trtl pillow is adjustable — you wrap the pillow around your neck and secure it with Velcro, and if you find it's too loose, just make it a bit tighter! I've truly never slept better on a plane than with this pillow."
Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in five colors).
11. Or! A cuddly U-shaped pillow to keep you company and support your sleepy little head during your next family road trip.
12. 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!!!
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 eight colors).
13. A pack of bold abstract earrings for anyone looking to branch out from their go-to studs or simple hoops — these will certainly turn some heads!
14. A unique satin-lined Hairbrella designed to help protect your luscious locks from the elements — we're looking at YOU rain, snow, and humidity. No need to cancel plans because you *just* had your hair done and don't want to ruin it.
15. Bendable Luminoodle LED lights complete with magnets that'll make twisting, turning, and attaching it easier than turning on a flash light. It'll illuminate and adapt to any outdoor activity in case you've got some major outdoor plans on the cal for 2024.
16. A totally cute orange juice vase to bring the refreshing, citrusy vibe of your favorite morning beverage into your home.

18. A water filtration straw any adventurous hiker/explorer should have on-hand so you'll always have access to fresh, clean water.
19. A bottle of thermal color-changing nail polish that has astounded over 1,000 people with its magical ability. It features a vegan and cruelty-free formula that'll change the color of your tips based on temperature — who doesn't love a 2-for-1 deal?!
20. A glamorous metallic midi skirt you won't be able to stop yourself from twirling around in — it's that fabulous.
21. Prismatic window film, because once in a while everything actually CAN be filled with magic and rainbows! This film will also provide you with some privacy while adding color into the room when the sun hits *just* right.
22. A firework chandelier to provide your home with a stunning conversation piece and an excuse to belt out "babyyyyyy you're a fiiiiiiiiirewooooork" whenever you enter your dining room.
23. A winged eyeliner stamp if you obsess over makeup tutorials but haven't been able to nail liquid eyeliner just yet. 2024 is the year you FINALLY conquer it.
24. A pair of quick-dry water shoes for anyone with big plans to brave rocky and hot sand this year. These babies are flexible, protective, *and* feel just like waterproof socks.
25. A splurge-worthy Dyson Airstrait that'll change the way you straighten your hair forever — it uses directional air flow (no metal plates!) to both dry and straighten your hair in minutes. Seriously, it only took me 10 minutes to do my hair directly from the shower!
I've (Heather) had the pleasure of testing out the Dyson Airstrait and, OMG, what an incredible piece of technology. Yes, I called this "tech" instead of a beauty tool. While it is both of these things, I was amazed by the gadget-ness of it right off the bat. I literally had to select on an LCD screen what language MY STRAIGHTENER should be set to...wild. Anyways! The Airstrait has the ability to straighten both wet or dry hair — and does without the use of damaging hot plates. It uses directional airflow to smooth and straighten hair and, honestly, it is a pretty magical experience. The biggest learning curve for me was realizing the copper pieces (where the fan lives) need to face outward so you're not blowing your hair all over the place. The fan increases when you clamp the Airstrait around your hair (HOW DOES IT KNOW!?) and pauses entirely when you set it down (seen in the GIF to the left). Additionally, I have a toddler and am very limited on time. With this gadget I was able to take my hair from directly-from-the-shower wet to natural-looking straight hair in only TEN MINUTES. This is going to be such a game changer for my life!!! It's definitely worth the splurge. Add this to your holiday wish list or, you know, get it now.
Get it from Sephora for $499.
26. Or a rotating Beachwaver curling iron featuring the ability to basically curl your hair for you while you stand around watching YouTube videos. Technology these days, man.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers! She said:
"I've used about every kind of hair styling tool on the planet and had given up on curling irons with clamps. I was fully a curling wand girlie because I'm adept at heat styling and it gave me covetable mermaid waves I wanted. Then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time."
Get a pink rose glitter B1 from Beachwaver or Amazon for $99.
27. Delicious Brightland olive oil in a gorgeous bottle that is way more than a pretty face — it has been UV-coated to protect the contents from damaging light.
I've (Heather) had the pleasure of trying this olive oil and it really is worth the money! Yes, the bottle is pretty and looks lovely on the counter, but the taste is also fantastic! This specific version has nutty notes of green tomato and green pear and is ideal for enjoying on salads and in marinades. Brightland Co. is a WOC-owned small business.
Promising review: "The flavor inside of this olive oil is amazing, along with it being a beautiful centerpiece in my kitchen. Every single time someone walks in they ask about it. I went ahead and order the entire kit and have all of the different varieties with the beautiful gold spouts to go across the top for ease and elegance. Love this product" —Candice M

28. An activity book that has been specifically designed for the writer to destroy once they've finished it — you'll get the chance to dig deep into your past, present, and future without any pressure to commit to daily journaling.

29. Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment, available in an array of delicious scents you'll have to remind yourself *not* to eat. It'll also restore and replenish dry lips while also helping to lock-in moisture. Pucker up, Princess!
Rhode is owned by Hailey Baldwin Bieber. All of the products are vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and tested/developed by dermatologists. I've (Heather) nearly finished my entire peptide lip treatment tube — it's fabulous! My sister is also a huge fan, we both love the way it soaks into our lips and leaves them feeling more moisturized than ever.
Promising review: "Love the vanilla peptide lip treatment! It’s great for adding a long-lasting shine, hydrating, and plumping. The flavor and smell makes me constantly reapply! thanks Rhode." —Mila G.

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

Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my husband because he absolutely loves puzzles and magic, so it was a no-brainer! I was honestly way more excited to finish putting this puzzle together than a normal puzzle because I couldn’t wait to see the end result. Blown away. I’m super impressed and will be purchasing a different version. Oh, and they weren’t kidding about the no dust in the box...very pleased with this purchase!" —Nlbrimberry
