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!

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). 

3. A set of eye masks packed with hyaluronic acid and collagen that'll, quite literally, leave you starry-eyed. Your next night of pampering is about to get a whole lot more glamorous.

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

Storage Theory is a small business that specializes in unique storage solutions for every room in your home. 

Promising review: "I used to use the Scotch-Brite sponges and not only aesthetically was it not very pleasing to the eye, every time I put it in the suction holder it would lose suction and fall off. My daughter introduced these sponges/holders as she said it was 'big on TikTok.' It was cheap enough I thought I would try it. Omg! It’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen! I actually enjoying doing dishes and I always smile because there is a smiley face looking right back at me. Not only is it the cutest sponge I’ve ever seen, it kicks but in cleaning the most dirtiest of jobs! And the holder fits and hold perfectly and brings me a lot of joy!" —Momboss

Psst — you can get Scrub Daddy sponges here on Amazon! They are extremely beloved by TikTokers because they're mildew-resistant, dual-sided with different scrubbing textures, and designed with a smile that lets you more easily clean utensils.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." As the parent of a 1-year-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I'm a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages are. I was so excited to read this lil' biography with my son and teach him a little more about someone I adore. (Which it does a great job of doing in a pared-down way!) It's a short book, looks cute on my desk, and is a hit for bedtime story time. What more could you want???

Get it from Amazon for $4.76.

Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." —Samantha

Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My daughter is 4 and plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Kindle Customer

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

Check it out on TikTok here!

I have this helpful beauty tool and keep it at my desk. I frequently use it during the work day when I find myself leaning my head in my hands while reading through posts — thus getting the oil from my fingers all over my forehead. The roller seamlessly takes the oil away from my face. I use it all the time without a second thought...it really does work!

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was back ordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. The packaging wasn't over the top exciting, but it provided you all the info you needed. (It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep.) After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything, but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.

Get it from Amazon for $8.50.

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.

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

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes loves hers! You can read more on why it's one of her favorite pieces of desk decor here.

Promising reviews: "I actually impulsively purchased this because I saw it on TikTok. I have had it for a little over a month now, and it is actually the best item I have purchased in a while. I admit, there is a slight learning curve when setting it up because there is not a clear-cut instructions guide for all of the features, but once you figure it out, it’s so worth it. It is really multifunctional and you can customize it to your liking. I really love the mini games feature on here, like Tetris and Snake, because they all bring back childhood memories for me. My favorite part is the fact that it works as a speaker and when I play music, I can have little videos sync to the music. Who knew a tiny little speaker could bring me so much joy. It is a bit pricy though, but it is just so cute. If you’re looking for a sign to buy this, here’s your sign." —Khuyen Nguyen

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in five colors).

20. color-changing moon lamp to keep you company during late night gaming sessions (and encourage you to stop sitting in darkness, save for your monitor light).

Promising review: "I bought this lamp after seeing it on TikTok. It looked really cool and thought it would be a nice addition to my bedroom! I actually expected to have some buyer's remorse but I couldn't have been more wrong! This lamp is so adorable and perfect for bedrooms of any age and would definitely go well with a kawaii gamer setup too. It has a multitude of color options; the gradient pastel rainbow is my favorite! It's controllable from your smartphone or touch, and it has a neat little feature where it changes color based on the sound it picks up! It's super affordable, especially compared to other smart lights like Phillips Hue." —Alice

Promising review: "I’m not one to review products but this one is worth sharing! Our freezer doesn’t have an ice maker and it’s been frustrating using the ice cube molds we bought last year. I saw this on tiktok and it was such a good purchase. You freeze two trays and they easily break out into the plastic bin that comes with it (and a little scooper). They’re little round ice balls and they’re so cute and they fit in just about everything. I hate having ice exposed to the freezer smells so I love that it came with a bin to store the ice in. 10/10 recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" —Sierra White

I'll admit it's difficult to start but once you get the hang of it after a few minutes, it's super easy and fun. It is a little loud but nothing unbearable.

I purchased this lil' gadget when my son was first born and slept in a bassinet in our room. I wasn't always ready to go to sleep at 8 p.m. but I did want to curl up in my bed and read — this light let me do exactly that without waking the baby. Big parenting win, if you ask me.

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

41. Philips compact pasta maker for anyone who is a pasta snob and prefers it freshly made but is simply sick and tired of tediously rolling out the dough by hand. Toss your ingredients into the machine and let it prep Sunday dinner for ya. 🍝

It comes with shaping discs for spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, pappardelle, tagliatelle, angel hair, and lasagna. Plus, there's an included recipe book for meal inspiration. 

Check it out in action TikTok here!

Promising review: "I was just as skeptical as you are. I, too, have been doing the old school — make the dough, roll it out, run it through a pasta machine, etc. — method. It's a production, all for AMAZING pasta. With this, you put the ingredients in, push a button, and watch for AMAZING pasta to be extruded. I had hoped I'd be able to multitask a bit more, but it extrudes so fast there isn't much time for other tasks between cutting it. But I think that seems reasonable. The other thing to consider is that you have to be VERY exact with the measurements of the ingredients. I've found weighing them works best. The recipes in the included book work great." —Conversio

Get it from Amazon for $179.95+ (available in black or white).

42. The Kerber's Farm Cookbook, which is filled with tons of delicious, easy-to-make recipes like apple cider donuts, lemon chicken orzo, and cheddar buttermilk biscuit egg sandwiches.

I personally own this book and am lucky enough to live in the same town as the original establishment (which has been open since the 1940s)!! Nick Voulgaris III, who purchased the farm when it had fallen into a state of disrepair in 2013, has revived it into a flourishing business (and overall lovely place to hang out). He's even opened a second location on Bleecker Street in NYC! If you don't live in New York, you can still have a taste of Kerber's delicious offerings by using this book to whip 'em up yourself.

Get it from Amazon for $31.49 or a signed copy directly from Kerber's Farm site for $37.50.

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).

44. The Woman in Me, a must-buy for any fan of the iconic Princess of Pop — that is, if you haven't already pre-ordered it. We both know you've been obsessing over Britney since the '90s.

Promising review: "Britney finally having the space to tell her own story is a highlight of 2023. While over the past few years many wrongs have been made right (or at least as right as possible), this book takes things a step further and offers perspective on events going back over two decades. I easily read the entire book in one sitting, even though it is close to 300 pages long, because growing up with Britney and watching everything she had gone through hearing what was going on behind closed doors felt like reading a letter from a friend. A lot of the book is absolutely devastating, and the fact that she manages to stay resilient through it all is a true testament to her character. I wish nothing but happiness for Britney, whatever she chooses to do with her future now." —Nicole Lynn

Get it in hardcover from Amazon for $20.87 (also available for Kindle and Audible).

45. Tozo earbuds, in case you've become infamous for losing headphones — snag a handful of pairs and stock up for the year.

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

*Extremely Martin Short voice* "I like your Beats."

Promising review: "I had to write a review on these Beats. I use these for work. I am always in meetings I normally use my AirPod Pros or my old AirPods — love them both. but I feel like I am always charging one or the other. Since I bought these beats I can't even find my AirPods. Not even using them anymore. I can make it all week through meeting after meeting and phone calls with these Beats. Best thing ever. I only bought these because I bought a red one for my son. He wears his at the gym and he said they were comfortable for him when on the treadmill. They are also comfortable on me and I wear them for several hours a day. I dont feel like it is compressing my head. no headaches. It is all positives from me and I bought the cute pink one for me." —Scott & Josie

I can confirm that *many* of us on the BuzzFeed Shopping team own and love this coat! This includes lil' ol' me! I wore it for the first time two years ago and was almost TOO warm. It's perfectly heavy and the lined hood is the coziest thing ever — I felt like I was lounging on a built-in pillow when wearing it in the car. I've since purchased it for my sister, who wears it while walking her dog out in the cold. She loves it, too!

Promising review: "SO WARM. So stylish! I am so in love with this coat. It seems very well put together and heavy and sturdy. I am usually a size L/XL in everything and the large fits perfectly with the zippers up on the sides. It gets a bit narrow around the hips but it's adjustable so it's fine! Absolutely love this coat. ❤️" —Lauren

I finally caved and got one of these in the 40-ounce size and IDK why I waited so long! Yes, it's ridiculously large, but I only have to fill it up once before bed and my water lasts me through the entire next day! It also stays cold and, honestly, just looks super cute on my desk. And, yes, my 1-year-old refuses to drink out of his own baby-appropriate cups and will whine until I let him drink out of mine 🫠.

Promising review: "I've been on the fence about buying a Stanley, but I'm glad I did! Because of its size, I don't have to fill up as much. I like that it has a lifetime warranty. I got the iris color and it's really pretty in real life! The pictures don't do it justice!" —Nattycat96

Get it from REI for $45 (available in 13 colors) or Stanley for $45 (available in 18 colors).

51. And a personalizable cup plate so you'll never mistake your cup for your spouse's. IDK about you, but I'm really tired of accidentally drinking out of someone else's straw....🤢.

You can select whether you'd like it for your Stanley cup or a Simply Modern cup! My friend ordered two (seen above) after she was tired of accidentally burning her mouth on her coffee when reaching for what she thought was her water cup. Genius. Stitchin' Pretty is a woman-owned small business!

My husband owns this book and has been following Slim Aarons photography for years — it really is a fantastic book. We leave it out in our dining room for people to peruse.

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! 

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

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

Beachwaver

This version features a glittery, festive holiday design (obsessed). BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers! She said:

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

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

Get it from Beachwaver for $119 or check out the original (red glitter) from Amazon for $99.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Rifle Paper Co.

I have and love this Rifle Paper Co. desktop planner. It's *so* pretty, obviously, but it also has double-sided sheets of paper that include a daily breakdown of the week on one side and a notes/to-do checklist on the other side. It's been super helpful for keeping both my work day and my day-to-day more organized. It has, honestly, given me a lot of peace of mind as someone who both works from home and has a child galavanting around the house. There's a lot to be done, and this has helped me keep it in check!

Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $22 or Amazon for $25.

57. 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

Get a set of six from Amazon for $49.99 (available in two styles). 

58. A Moccamaster drip coffee machine that'll become your most bragged-about gadget thanks to how beautifully it'll match your kitchen decor — it comes in over 14 colors! The brewing basket will stop the flow of coffee the moment you remove the carafe and the carafe itself has a hot plate to keep coffee hot as long as necessary.

My husband, a coffee connoisseur, has assured me that in the "coffee community," this machine is regarded as one (if not THE) best drip coffee machines on the market. I mean, it does boast the ability to brew between a half or full carafe, a brew basket that automatically stops the flow of coffee when removing the carafe (no mess!), and a hotplate with an independent heating element to keep coffee at the *perfect* temperature. But for me? It's the color options. There are SO many to choose from — there's no doubt in my mind anyone would be able to find an option that would look great in their home. I actually *do* own one in my home (it's fabulous) and it does all that it says it will. It's certainly lived up to our expectations — and we drink a lot of coffee as parents of a 1-year-old.

Get it from Amazon for $357 (available in 23 colors).

59. A "flaming" humidifier to impress anyone who cherishes nothing more than cozy cottagecore vibes, soothing aromatherapy, and sleeping amongst delightfully hydrated air.

Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." —Benny

Get it from Amazon for $32.69 (available in two colors). 

60. A holiday-themed glass from Anthropologie you've likely started seeing all over your TikTok. (Unless you are oddly not flooded by Christmas-y posts like I am...) Good luck trying not to buy the entire set — each one is more beautiful than the last.

Promising review: "I bought one of each glass online. I noticed in the description they are all handmade so I didn’t expect them to match perfectly. I absolutely LOVE them. No two the same but such a nice and cute set. Much heavier than I was expecting. Really happy I decided to get these." —BecT

Get it from Anthropologie for $16 each (available in four styles).

61. Olive & June's seven-free nail polish mani system, a must-have for anyone who doesn't want to commit to the semi-permanency of a gel or powder but would benefit from owning all the tools for the making of a flawless at-home mani.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Olive & June

Olive & June is my go-to nail polish brand! It's a small business co-owned by two incredible women who clearly know what they're doing when it comes to manicures. The polish stays on for over a week, and when you purchase the full kit, you'll also find yourself equipped with tools to pull off a flawless mani. The Mani System comes with a cleanup brush, a polish remover pot, a nail clipper, a nail file, a nail buffer, The Poppy (used to hold bottles more comfortably), a glossy topcoat, a cuticle serum, and one nail polish of your choice. My favorite tool is the little brush, designed to help you clean up your cuticles after inevitably getting polish all over 'em. The fall version also comes with a cute notebook and pen! Treat yourself — you won't be disappointed.

I'm even wearing the polish *right* now! Just snapped a pic (to the left) of me wearing one of their newer shades Luxe Loafer.

Get it from Olive & June for $55+ (available with one or six polishes and with or without a ton of add-ons) or check out the individual polishes.

The Home Depot, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

My dad (a Grill Master, IMO) has this flat top grill and is VERY pleased with it. He's very difficult to impress when it comes to cooking appliances, but this has surpassed his expectations. He's made excellent smash burgers on it, potatoes, steaks, and so much more. He loves that it has three different cooking zones so he can whip up multiple things at a time and that it has been much easier to clean than a standard grill top. Definitely recommend!

Promising review: "I never knew that cooking on a flat top was so fun. The Flatrock has great temperature control including having cool zones and hot zones. It heats very quickly and has a really nice lid that has hinges for easy open close. Love the propane tank fill meter as well." —Doug Scheiding
