We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed collects a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A tube of Maybelline Great Clear Lash Mascara to up the effectiveness of your routine. This stuff grooms and separates lashes in preparation for a coat of color, or it can be used alone to build length and define naked lashes. Bonus here: This clear formula can also be used as a pomade to tame frizzy hair and flyaways, or even as a brow gel!
Promising review: "The multi-tasking mascara! This clear mascara is the only mascara I use. It organizes my eyebrows and eyelashes for the whole day. That way, I don't have any problems with smudges from colored brow gel or flaking from black mascara - both of which can be hard to get off at the end of the day, along with taking brow hairs or eyelashes with them! The Maybelline Clear Mascara is amazing and is always with me, no matter what continent I'm on. Lastly, it doesn't make my eyes tear, as other mascaras do, and removes easily with water, in the shower. Altogether, a perfect cosmetic!" âMary T. Graffeo

2. An over-the-door shoe organizer that will arrange and store more than just sneakers. Tiny but overflowing pantry closet? Overrun cleaning closet? This sweeps items up from off the floor and into 24 roomy compartments so you don't waste time searching for the essentials.
Promising review: "Having no place to store my shoes was driving me nuts, and I was always tripping over shoes. I wasnât sure if the pockets in the organizer would be large enough for my Crocs, but they fit perfectly when I put the shoes in heel first. (For reference: my Crocs are womenâs size 9). I was able to get two pairs of sneakers in the last two sets of pockets as well. The pockets seem to be well made, and Iâm confident that this shoe organizer will last." âA. Roach
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in three colors).
3. A bottle of Bio Oil to gently treat uneven complexions and take care of a myriad of skin concerns in one go. It's so effective, more than 100,000 people love it. It's also noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog pores and â *jumps for joy* â can be used on the face to eradicate acne scars, too.
Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun â so don't forget your sunscreen!
Promising review: "I swear by this product. Very effective on discolored skin due to scarring. I had shingles on my face brought about by stress because we were moving. It ravaged the lower right side of my face and I was pretty sure it was going to leave hideous scarring. I bought this and started applying it when I started scabbing and still haven't stopped using it until now. I had my shingles in April and it's August now. It works. Check the before and after pics. Scars are now gone." âtwitch
Get it from Amazon for $8.92.
4. A plastic cutting board you can dice and slice on like a pro. The bonus? This nifty thing folds into a funnel so you can just *arm gesture* scoop up all those veggies and plop 'em in the pot in one fluid motion.
Promising review: "Very good foldable chopping block. We use it daily and love being able to chop a lot of different items and just fold the block and pour into a pot or container. Seems to be standing up to lots of use with little wear showing. We use the large and medium sizes daily and are very happy with them." âNathan Bales
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
5. An Oxo under-appliance flexible sweeper to make it easier to finally reach down and clean the nooks and crannies beneath your fridge, that awkward spot between your dishwasher and stove, and under your low-profile sofa. Hey, you may even find that $5 bill you never knew went missing â which means, you're now rich *and* efficient.
Promising review: "So, I never thought about cleaning under our sectional when we purchased it. It's huge, heavy, and unmovable â and the kids like to eat nearby, so food is constantly rolling/sliding/migrating underneath and it gets disgusting. Too low-profile to vacuum; broom won't fit. Was using one of the static dusters for ceiling fans that was doing a meh job â this little thing got yuck out from under there from...*shudder* let's not talk about it. Great little tool. Fit under my washer, dryer, and fridge, too, which was an added bonus. Cleanup is easy, too." âmmj
Get it from Amazon for $15.95.
6. A multipurpose pack of Command broom holders if you'd rather the flexibility of customizing how things are stored and installed in your home. Things being brooms, mops, dusters, and curtain rods!! Yep, just think, no holes needing to be drilled. Stick these up, plug in the rods, and hey presto a renter's decorating dreams come true!
Promising review: "Used it to hang curtains after seeing a hack on TikTok and it worked flawlessly! Especially for rentals because nails and drilling are a hassle when moving out. I was worried about the aesthetics of it but you don't even really notice." âAmazon Customer
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $12.99+Â (also available in a six-pack).
7. A tube of Glossier Cloud Paint that blends like a cream for subtle, buildable color when you want to look kissed by the sun without having to, you know, actually see the sun. The lightweight formula means it won't ever look cakey, and you can dab the same product on your lids for days when you're feeling matchy-matchy.
Our Deputy Editorial Director Maitland Quitmeyer uses this and says: "Cloud Paint might be the easiest-to-apply blush of all time. I am (as you can see) incredibly pale, and a lot of blushes get full Haunted Victorian Doll really quick. Two dabs of this and a quick blend, and the natural pink flush is there â and any excess product I just pop on my eyelids for a cute matchy look. It adds some hydrated dimension to an otherwise-matte face of foundation, feels SUPER comfortable on, and lasts (on me at least) all day! There is a little bit of a learning curve when squeeeeezing the product out (it can be easy at first to waste some), but once you're used to it, squeezin's a breeze. The good news is you only need a teeeeensy tad, so the tube lasts (The Sandlot voice) FOR-E-VER!"
Promising review: "I am such a minimalist when it comes to makeup. I used to never use blush or bronzer. A simple tinted moisturizer with some concealer and whatever. BUT CLOUD PAINT CHANGED THAT. I absolutely love the color and glow it adds to my face. And it only takes three seconds to put it on. Perfect for a makeup minimalist like me." âJennifer T
Get it from Glossier for $18Â (available in eight shades).
8. A glass desktop dry erase board to optimize your workspace and save you from hoarding (and losing) a bajillion sticky note reminders. It even comes with a hidden storage drawer so you can *appear* to be keeping everything organized, even if your schedule might not be.
Promising review: "This thing is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend for those of you working from home. I needed a white board but really didnât have the space nor did I think a stand up board would be functional for me. This is the perfect solution. I have it set out right below my extra monitor and it is at my fingertips whenever I need to jot down an action item for myself. It has significantly helped to reduce my number of sticky notes. Helps to make my desk space cleaner and more efficient looking which helps me to work better."âShannon
Get it from Amazon for $30.49.
9. PanOxyl Foaming Face Wash, which works as both a cleanser to fight present and future breakouts with its 10% benzoyl peroxide formula *and* as a spot treatment (ideal for sensitive skin folk). It powerfully kills off bacteria to prevent new skin bullies from appearing, and deals with those that are currently on the surface by unclogging pores and helping skin shed more effectively.
I have super-sensitive, temperamental skin so using a maximum strength Benzoyl Peroxide as an all-over face wash would just not work for me. HOWEVER, after tapping through some stories and scrolling through some reviews, I discovered that many of those who suffer from bad breakouts, like myself, were using it as a spot treatment. And hey! I gotta say these folks were onto something. I gave this a whirl for a couple of months â used it in conjunction with a mild, all-over facial cleanser â and strictly dotted this on painful, under-the-skin pimples post-cleanse. After applying it each night and allowing it to sit on my skin for no more than two minutes, I noticed a significant decrease in the size of these boulder-like breakouts come the next morning. (If I saw any irritation or dryness, I'd skip a night.) Now, I use this to help clear my skin anytime I feel one of those bullies trying to punch their way through â and, TBH, it really helps to keep things under control!
(Just don't forget to thoroughly moisturize after each use!)
Promising review: "This product is by far the best solution if you struggle with acne. I have tried millions of cleaners, creams, masks you name it Iâve tried it and nothing works as good as PanOxyl. I currently use the 10% and have since the beginning, I have heard some people experience dryness however, that has never happened with me. I swear by this product and it definitely does not get the hype it should. After one week my face was completely free of breakouts! This product uses benzoyl peroxide instead of other typical acne treatments, like salicylic acid which only removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores. This product works by or penetrating deep with the pores killing the bacteria that causes acne! So while itâs clearing your breakouts itâs preventing new ones from starting. That being said this product does contain peroxide so it will stain any towels or clothing it comes in contact with!" âCarolyn
Get it from Amazon for $9.48.
10. An all-natural multipurpose spray because cleanup duty doesn't have to stink. No, literally, this spray is available in a bunch of amazing scents that'll make ridding all kinds of surfaces from muck and gunk super refreshing and satisfying... Just peep how well this stuff works:
The Hoot is a Black womanâowned small business. It was started by Tonya Newsome, a professional cleaner, who noticed traditional cleaning solutions made with harsh ingredients were causing skin irritation and respiratory issues. Newsome decided to make a cleaner that's just as effective but without SLES and SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate are both known to cause irritation and allergic reactions for people with sensitive skin).
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Bek O'Connell has put this to use and raves: "You know that refreshing feeling you get after a deep clean at the dentist? That's how I feel about my home after using this spray. The peppermint smell is so invigorating and makes everything smell fresh. It cuts through grime and dust with no problem, and I think might actually scare off mice (rodents hate minty smells). The sprayer works well, and the bottle is even made from recycled plastic. I have to say, it's really nice to use a cleaner that works but doesn't give off unpleasant fumes or put my dog at risk. If you're looking for a multipurpose spray that smells like a nice piece of gum instead of the bottom of a swimming pool, try it out!"
Get it from The Hoot for $6.99+ (available with two sprayer nozzle options).Â
11. A food slicing board with a stainless-steel blade that'll make you a tour de force in the kitchen. Veggies, cheese, meats, whatever...all cut into the perfect and most satisfying slice in no time.
Promising review: "This thing is a champ. It's completely revolutionized my cheese and sausage game. The adjustable stop block is terrific; you can really speed through a block of cheese or a long summer sausage with clean and consistent cuts. I've only used it a handful of times so I can't vouch for its long-term durability, but at just over $20 you really just can't go wrong." âLeffelMania
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
12. An Ilia Multi-Stick to streamline your routine by taking care of cheeks and lips in one go. You'll want to favorite this and keep it close by since this creamy formula leaves a natural pinch of color while nourishing your skin â all you'll need is your finger to blend.
Promising review: "I love the way this glides onto cheekbones melting right in and super easy to blend with fingers. Buildable color. Got Dreamer color and itâs great on both cheeks and lips." âMichelle B.
Get it from Ilia for $34 (available in seven shades).
13. An Oxo dish squeegee that fits nicely into your palm to swiftly scrape off leftover food and grease â and ensure nothing gets stuck down your drain. Another perk? You can squeegee your countertops from spills instead of wasting rolls of paper towels.
It's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe! Plus, one side is curved so it works on bowls as well as plates. I have this and particularly like it for scraping off things that get stuck to the side of a pot after boiling and melted cheese from plates.
Promising review: "Useful for SO MANY THINGS. This product is AMAZING. We live in a studio apartment, with a small kitchenette. Our sink likes to spray everywhere, and we don't have a garbage disposal. This product is not only is fantastic at scraping food off of our plates (so it doesn't go down the drain), but it helps to squeegee the countertop when water has sprayed everywhere!!" âElizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
14. Alleyoop's Pen Pal to spark joy (and nostalgia) into your otherwise hum-drum routine. This 4-in-1 tool has the ability to create full looks and easy end-of-the-day touch-ups. Plus, it's *exceptionally* great if you're trying to cut down on the amount of products you're carrying around.
I didn't realize I'd ever use a makeup product in my 20s that had the ability to transport me back to a piece of stationery I used in sixth grade, but here we are; and here I am using a multitool pen...for my face. I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think itâs a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touch-ups come the end of the work day, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already-overflowing makeup bag!
Get it from Alleyoop for $25 (available in three shades).
15. A 2-in-1 chop 'n' stir tool ideal for thoroughly cooking ground meat for pies and easily mashing potatoes for â let's face it â the best side dish to ever exist. Since it only takes one hand to press and twist, you can use the other one to scroll for ~inventive~ recipes.
Promising review: "I love making chicken tacos in my pressure cooker, the meat ends up tender but sometimes doesn't fall apart. I'd seen this online and it worked out perfectly; not only does it smash but it chops at the same time. While the chicken is still hot in the pot I can use this to smash/shred the chicken, making perfect shredded chicken taco meat. I have also used while cooking ground beef doing the same, chopping while i smash. I even used it to smash/chop some cooked meatballs making meat sauce. I love this thing." âEric M. Schloegel, Jr.
Get it from Amazon for $8.77+ (available in three colors).
16. A can of Colab Overnight Renew dry shampoo that'll work the night shift and freshen up your sad, greasy roots as you sleep. Since this stuff does the work of two products (it cares for as it cleanses your scalp using pink clay and lavender), you and your locks can wake up feeling refreshed â and with more time to actually cook breakfast!
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lily uses this and raves: "I have this dry shampoo and it really does work so much harder than regular dry shampoo formulas. When you spray it on, it's more likely to look stark white (don't freak out about it like I did!), but you simply rub it in like you would a normal dry shampoo before you hit the hay. Waking up with de-greased roots definitely gives me a head start on trying to pull myself together these days when, tbh, I'm only (regularly) washing my hair once a week. Because this stuff is so potent though, you should really only use it before bedtime. If you're curious about their regular dry shampoos, they're great!."
Get it from Walmart for $6.38.
17. An electric milk frother because the days of becoming your own crush-worthy barista are finally here. Ta-ta to spending $5, five days a week, waiting in line for caffeinated treats, now you can create perfectly whipped lattes from the comfort of your own abode. Oh, and this can be used to make superbly rich hot chocolate too!
It comes with both heating and frothing whisks.
Promising review:"I'd always used espresso machines to steam milk in the past â I had no idea these things existed! My SO drinks a chai every morning, and buying it from the coffee shop was adding up. For this small investment, I have made delicious homemade chai, cafe au lait, and hot cocoas every single day! The machine has worked reliably for months, and is very easy to clean. Quick rinse and a wash with soap in the evening. The milk on 'froth' mode is delightfully fluffy and very tasty." âLeopard Print
Get it from Amazon for $54.96.
18. A pet-grooming glove brush that'll not only have your fluffiest pals looking like they just stepped out of the groomers (sans pricey bill), but also help with any shedding problems around your home.
Promising review: "This glove works far better than any cat brush I've used. Total game changer. Not only is it efficient at removing hair but my kitties seem to enjoy when I use it on them." âSusie Straub
Get it from Amazon for $7.09+Â (available in three colors).
19. Leakproof travel capsules so cute and useful, you can carry *and stack* all your essentials together in one spot on the go (without having to forego your routine). Now pills, creams, and jewelry can all be encased in lil' TSA-approved magnetic containers.
I love my little containers that allow me to downsize but still carry my necessities while I'm traveling. They're not only cute to look at but they're pretty practical. I have used mine to store my vitamins, earrings, and face cream and have not run into any issues. They have tight, screw-on tops so you know everything is secure *and* you can customize their labels so you know exactly what's in what. Oh, and the fact that they're magnetic? Genius. This way, they stay tightly together in your case or can be conveniently stored in a makeup bag.
Cadence is a woman-owned small biz that helps people from many different walks of life stay on top of their personal care routines no matter where they go. The capsules are made from recycled ocean bound plastic in an effort to clean existing plastic off of beaches. One Cadence capsule = one travel-sized bottle worth of plastic removed from shores.
Promising review: "My day job keeps me on the go constantly, traveling locally and nation-wide. Whether I'm in my car, on a flight or in a hotel room, Cadence has simplified my life in ways I never thought possible. I used to have to compromise certain products over others due to lack of space, which would often lead to feeling a little less confident throughout the day. I used to worry about my products leaking during travel. All of these worries are gone. Whether it's mints, lotion, vitamins, jewelry, etc. I'm covered with Cadence, and I refuse to go back to the way it was. The fact that they use recyclable material is the cherry on top. I recommend them to everyone!" âCadence Customer
Get it from Cadence for $74 (available in individual capsules, bundles of three or six, and six colors).
20. A colorful waterproof desk pad, which enhances your "workable space" since it provides more room for your mouse to roam, and it can be reversed so you never get bored of the same old same old. Plus, it protects your desk, covers up any unsightly scratches, and the material is comfy enough to rest your arms and 'bows on.
Promising review: "I love this thing way more than I thought I would! I've always hated how little surface area mousepads had, but I had no idea desk pads existed until I was randomly browsing through Amazon. I purchased the pink one, and it is the perfect addition to my white/pink home office! It works perfectly as a mousepad, but I love that I now have a place to put hot/cold drinks without damaging the desk. I purchased the smallest size, which is absolutely large enough for the corner of my desk where I work. It came rolled up in a tube, but it unrolled flat, no curled edges whatsoever! Would definitely recommend!!!" âRigashi
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 colors).
21. A convenient slide-out pantry for anyone who's in a committed relationship with their kitchen and wants it to thrive no matter its size. This set of shelves is perfect for two jobs: ridding your countertops of clutter *and* utilizing the dead, blackhole space found between your fridge and kitchen wall.
This cupboard on wheels has five shelves, so you'll have ample storage space and you can pull it out and push it back in with ease.
Promising review: "Easy and efficient for a small kitchen. So easy to put together and looks great. So functional :) love the five tiers for the side of my fridge! It's taller and wider than expected which will be so nice for storage in my small kitchen. I am so happy with it I'm getting one for my stacked washer and dryer." âCody A Hood
Get it from Amazon for $42.99.
22. A Tushy bidet that'll feel like a visit to the waterpark for your bum! We are here for anything that creates less TP waste, looks sleek (this comes in a platinum and bamboo style), and cleans our backsides so we don't have to.
This bathroom must-have doesn't require electricity or any additional plumbing, and can be temperature controlled.
Promising review: "It is very easy to install. We are addicted to this product because it works wonderfully and it saves so much toilet paper! Also, it is perfect for the elderly or anyone with stiffness or poor range of motion in the back or shoulders...clean-up is efficient and consistent." âRoger Brown
Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (originally $99; available in two styles).
23. A cutlery brush so nifty, it cleans both sides of sharp utensils at the same time and it ensures you can scrub safely (hello, secure hand grip) without nicking yourself.
Promising review: "I never thought I would write a review for a knife scrubber, but this one is fantastic! It's easy to hold, keeps your hand safe, keeps you from constantly replacing sponges that have been cut accidentally, and the bristles are nice and stiff so they really get the knives scrubbed clean! It's also a great size and covers my big knives completely. Highly recommend!" âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.49.
24. A storage bed that's actually super cost effective since it'll a) upgrade your squeaky bed frame that's lived with you since your first apartment, and b) take care of your overrun closet that's virtually impossible to close.
Promising review: "The bed was easy to put together. I needed help moving the box but once opened, one person can do this. I bought the bed for the look and the storage. The four drawers really do work very well and roll out for easy access. They also hold a lot â much more than I expected. You really do not see the drawers. I bought a pillowtop mattress to go with this, as I wanted a higher bed. Another unexpected plus is that I can use my king-size sheets; they just tuck under the mattress. I'm very pleased with this bed." âEllen
Get it from Novogratz on Amazon for $375.99+ (available in five colors and sizes full to king).
25. An ingenious (and adorable) hidden zipper satin scrunchie you can use to not only tie your hair up without the pain â yes satin â but also discreetly stash your cash, extra bobby pins, lip balm, gym locker key... whatever you need to keep handy when you don't want to carry around extra weight.
Smunchys is a woman-owned small business based in Los Angeles. They understand a lot of women's clothing doesn't have pockets, so they wanted to create something for travelers, festival goers, and workout enthusiasts that would make it easy to carry their essentials on the move.
Promising review: "I ordered a few satin Smunchys for Christmas presents and I was so pleasantly surprised when they finally arrived (the order arrived very quickly too!) and I tried them out. The Smunchys feel great, they look like they are really good quality and very aesthetic. The pockets can store so many little goodies, perfect for my hikes! I finally have a safe place to put my car keys and ChapStick when I go on walks!" âEricka de Alexander
Get it from Smunchys for $8.99.
26. A 24-oz Bindle water bottle complete with a roomy compartment to store your most-needed items. And this clever thing also features a vacuum seal to keep cold bevs cold and hot ones hot for up to 12 hours.
Psst! It's made of stainless steel, has a leak-proof seal, and has BPA-free components!
Promising review: "Iâm really impressed with this bottle! It keeps my ice water cold for several hours. The outside doesnât sweat. Easy carry handle and other lid options available for purchase. Nice color selection; true to color. The storage compartment is what I found pretty impressive; much larger than I thought it would be. Iâll be using mine mainly for dog walking. Just to give you an idea of the size of the storage compartment; I was able to fit five potty bags, my keys and a few dog treats. I still had a bit of room left. I found the top part to be plenty big and I drink a lot of water. The wide mouth is great for adding ice easily." âD.B.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and seven colors).
27. A multifunctional lift-top coffee table designed to solve storage problems, WFH issues, and even interior design qualms. I think a decor piece that looks *this* good and has the ability to instantly upgrade your at-home life deserves to be in your cart, like, now.
Promising review: "The table is a perfect size for my living room sectional! It was very easy to assemble by myself, lift top already assembled, just attached it to the base (which has to be assembled, with easy instructions). I'm a minimalist, so it works well for my living space. The bottom of the table holds up to 50 lbs, the inside holds up 25 lbs and the tabletop, 40 lbs. I definitely recommend for small spaces."âWayfair Customer
Get it from Wayfair for $249.99 (available in two colors).
28. Some SevĂch hairline shadow you can use to touch up graying roots *and* fill in thinning areas to give the appearance of denser, thicker hair without the fuss. If you've ever thrown your hair up and noticed areas of pesky gray or spots that are looking a lil' sparse, simply plop some color on the sponge applicator and dab it into your scalp for a fuller 'do.
This stuff is cruelty free and contains nontoxic plant fibers and beeswax so it's safe to use on your skin.
Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! If you have thinning hair or graying hair, this powder is a must-have. It even creates a bit of volume to my very thin hair. I've purchased many different hair products to conceal my thinning hair, most are ineffective, messy, or leave my hair feeling greasy. This is super easy to use; I even use it for my sparse eyebrows: I simply use a soft, small lip liner brush to fill in my brows for a natural look. I also love that it lasts till your next shampoo. At first I didn't like the built-in sponge, but I've grown to really like it. The powder sticks to the sponge, making it easy to apply to whatever area you want to cover up, and the powder doesn't come off on pillows if you leave it on overnight." âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.68 (available in 12 shades).
29. A multi-use Everything Towel made of luxe muslin cotton to take care of kitchen spills, dish-drying, and can even be used as a nurse-to-nap blanket for your little one or as a hair towel for frizz-free absorption.

30. Undone Beauty Eyebrow Enhancer designed to combine two key players in keeping your brows fluffy, filled, and looking on point. With this one handy pen you can use the felt tip to create shape and the spoolie dipped in a long-wearing gel to hold collapsible hairs in place.
Promising review: "Was a little thrown off by the color at first, thought it was a little too warm but it actually blended in beautifully. The brush tip pen is so easy to work with and to be precise with your strokes, and it lasts! Does not run out when youâre halfway done. The tinted brow gel is a little sticky when first drying down, but it does dry nicely and HOLDS throughout the day, even after brushing through with a spoolie to soften it! Can easily accomplish a more natural look with soft strokes or really outline and fill in. AND itâs not harsh on my skin or brows, washes easily and does feel like it has been more nourishing than not. :)" âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12Â (available in six shades).
31. Adaptable Rectrek zip-off pants reviewers are going wild over, since they do the job of three styles in one. Wear 'em full length on the slopes, crop 'em for a hike, or zip 'em off for a sunny jog. Perfectly colorblocked, these puppies even have bungee cords so you can slip them off over your shoes! That's efficiency at its finest.
Promising review: "BEST. PANTS. EVER. I have always struggled to find pants that fit me properly. I have long and strong legs. I cried of joy when I finally tried on these pants! Now, I own six pairs and I sold all of my other hiking pants. The built-in belt allows for cinching at the waist for the perfect fit. The pockets are functional. The material is top-notch. This company actually listens to its customers and have only added more improvements. The color ways are ~chefâs kiss~. I cannot recommend these enough!" âOutdoor Voices Customer
Get it from Outdoor Voices for $118 (available in sizes XXSâXL and in six color combinations).
32. Two memory foam armrest pads to upgrade your less than comfy WFH office chair. These'll support your arms and relieve the pressure from your 'bows, so you can sit through your next ~painful~ two-hour Zoom call comfortably while working more efficiently. Reviewers say these are the perfect add-on for gaming chairs, too!
Promising review: "It makes my chair so much more comfortable and I work better and more efficiently." âZealous Singer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99.
33. Dyson's Air Wrap Complete, a splurge-worthy 6-in-1 hair dryer guaranteed to speed up your routine and save you $$ on salon trips. This styler is literally magic since it comes with a pre-styling dryer, two smoothing brushes, *and* two sizes of curling barrels. Wet hair to smooth, frizz-free locks â and with no damage as far as the eye can see.
BuzzFeed Deputy Editorial Director Maitland Quitmeyer has this godsend of a tool and tells: "I.....will never go back after using the Dyson Air Wrap. My well-documented love of the John Frieda hot air brush remains true (and for the price, it's still a great blowout brush!) but this bb is beyond next level (which it should be for over $500 hard-earned dollars). I have coarse, type 2/3 waves and curls (different curl types with basically every strand), and the attachements dry and style my hair with ease. And the curls last and last â shocking in this truly tropical summer we're having in New York this year. The curling effect that just SUCKS ON your hair is...mind-blowing. It maxes out at a nondamaging temperature, so even though your style is locked-in for days, your hair will stay healthy. After years of heavy balayage and....lots of curling iron activity, after using this and no other hot tools exclusively, my curl pattern finally is looking the best it has in a long time! Just a note though â if you have longer hair, definitely get the longer curling barrels. My hair is about mid-back, and while I *can* use the shorter ones, I'm going to upgrade soon myself!"Â
Promising review: "I have 4b/c natural hair, and was looking to blow-dry quickly on the days when I'm bored with my coils. I wasn't sure about the curling attachments getting hot enough to style my hair, but thought if it worked, this might be worth the investment. So far I'm very impressed! Was able to blow-dry my hair in about 25 mins (a task that usually takes twice that long) and use the barrels to create some nice beachy waves. I've even used the dryer without attachments to quickly dry makeup setting spray, and nail polish. I'm pretty happy with my purchase." âDyson Customer

Would you just look at how well this magical wand of a product works:
34. A wall-mounted toothbrush holder and dispenser, aka the discovery I made on TikTok that I've been sending to any and every friend who either complains about their haphazard bathroom counter space, or *lack* of bathroom counter space.
This game-changer includes a toothbrush dispenser (which means less product waste!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes!
Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, Q-tips, or flossers." âSariyah J

35. An Our Place Always pan because Instagram's favorite kitchen mate is *chef's kiss* for cooking pros and newbs alike. This beauty replaces the need for eight (yes, eight!) cookware items, so you'll be reaching for this anytime you want to fry, steam, boil, and even serve up your signature dish.
Nonstick ceramic coating? Check. Nesting beechwood spatula with built-in spoon rest? Check. Custom stainless steel steamer basket? Check check.
BuzzFeed Editor Bek O'Connell is lucky enough to have one of these and can be quoted as saying: "Sometimes I just hold mine and sigh over how nice it is! Sorry if that's lame, but it is the truth. I am love with my pan."
Promising review: "This pan is EVERYTHING! I went from making pasta in the basket to steaming broccoli in it and then finishing my meal in there. Then I forgot about cleaning it because Iâm lazy â and the nonstick cleaned up so easily. The sponge they include is incredible, I do all my dishes with it now. Also it looks really cute sitting on my stove all day." âDarby S.
Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in six colors).
36. A stainless-steel tongue scraper designed to banish bad breath, enhance tastebuds, and reduce bacteria buildup. There's more? This also restores the look of your natural color of your tongue, too.
Promising review: "My scraper arrived today and I am delighted with the results. I have owned three other styles and this model, entirely steel, is more efficient and comfortable than the rest. I was drawn to this model particularly after experiencing mold on a steel scraper with coated end grips. This one will be much easier to keep clean and, hopefully, outlasts the others." âMolly
Get it from Amazon for $6.95.
37. Curie Whipped Body Wash made with a frosty, non-liquid (aka TSA-approved), looks-good-enough-to-eat soap. Lather this all over your bod, or use it on the areas you choose to shave (since it doubles up as a shaving cream!) for your most moisturizing and efficient shower yet.
I use this gem as a delectable shaving mousse. It's florally scented â if you like that kinda thing â and helps me achieve a close, super-smooth shave. I personally just love scooping this out of the jar, because it literally feels like a dessert! (I mean...tell me that doesn't that just look like a dollop of ice cream on my hand!) And it lathers up really well so my legs feel smooth, moisturized, and full of life after each and every use.
Curie is a woman-owned brand that launched a clean, aluminum-free deodorant in 2018, and quickly grew a cult following because it actually works. Since then, they've expanded their product selection to include natural hand sanitizers and body oils.
Get it from Curie for $16 (available in three scents).
38. A cottagecore-approved brass hanging rack, complete with leather hooks to hang kitchenware and keep your essentials handy without overcrowding counter space. Reviewers also note using these to hang plants and towels in their bathroom. Less clutter = more efficiency.
Holistic Habitat is a woman-owned small biz that was started in 2017 and run by Kristin and Rachael. They produce stunning, ethically-sourced home goods and give back on every purchase made.
Promising review: "Really Charming. Looks great in my kitchen and helped to fill out a long high wall in my kitchen entryway. Hung a few decorative items including a Venus Fly Trap and the whole space looks put together." âHolistic Habitat Customer
Get it from Holistic Habitat for $70.
39. Bendable Luminoodle LED lights because flash lights are so 2021. This wiggly thing will easily illuminate and adapt to any outdoor activity, and it even has magnets so you can quickly and easily attach it to your vehicle if car camping is in your near future.
