1. A premium wine aerator so each sip of vino will taste like a Tuscan vineyard...and not like the $10 you just spent at Trader Joe's. This cleverly infuses the optimal amount of oxygen into every pour so all your glasses of red henceforth can breathe well into the new year.
2. A four-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" (that are less than $5 a pop!), which feature soft, multilayer bristles that are essentially like strong pieces of floss that reeeally reach between teeth, under the gum line, and deep into grooves where cavities and bacteria can breed. A brighter, healthier smile as you head into 2023? Sign us up.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Emma Lord has tried these — here's what she had to say: "I personally just bought this at the recommendation of another BuzzFeeder, and love it just after the first few days of use! 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."
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four colors and a multicolored pack).
3. A marvelous humidifier tank cleaner to look after your misting machine that's saving you from becoming dryer than a lizard. This cartridge "swims" as it cleans to prevent any gross buildup for up to 30 days. Cleaner air this new year? That's one resolution you can now be sure to stick to.
4. A pack of Crayola Globbles if you're looking to keep your little ones' hands busy all holiday season (and well into the new year). With these sticky balls, the fun and entertainment won't stop. Plus, no need to panic, parents — reviewers say these don't leave any sticky mess on the surfaces they're hurled onto, and the globs themselves are super easy to clean.
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
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 16).
5. Velvet scrunchy bows you'll be reaching for to put the finishing touches to braids and updos. Rumor has it, these have magical powers to make quick, messy topknots look like you actually made an effort.
6. A scrap trap to make post-meal cleaning a thing of the past. Trash skins and crumbs *as* you chop so the only heavy lifting left to do is picking up the remote to switch on your Housewives marathon.
7. A stainless-steel tongue scraper designed to banish bad breath, enhance tastebuds, and reduce bacteria buildup. A bonus? This also restores the look of your natural color of your tongue, too.
8. Glossier Skywash to provide a gorgeous flush of matte, buildable color to your lids. Using the pillowy-soft applicator, you can quickly swipe on these subtle yet colorful hues so you can *choo choo* hop on board that Y2K train.
9. Keurig cleaning cups if you're someone like me and didn't realize a coffeemaker needed to be descaled — turns out, it DOES. Just pop in one of the pods as you would a coffee cup, and proceed to be amazed (read: horrified) at the amount of residue that trickles into your cup of joe.
10. A bottle of Drop It to eliminate wine sulfates and tannins that usually lead to a regrettable wine headache. This works rather swiftly so you can indulge in all your holiday reds without fear of developing those pesky allergy-like symptoms.
It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends one to two drops for each glass of white wine, two to three for a glass of red, and seven to nine if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be raring to go!
Promising review: "For many years, I have been that friend that always says 'no thanks, I can't drink wine.' Even one small small glass would give me the worst migraine. So I gave up. Several weeks ago, I happened across an ad for Drop It and thought I might as well give it a shot. I took a big risk the day it arrived and had two huge glasses of red wine that I knew would give me a massive migraine the next day. It just so happened I had a midterm that next morning too — so the stakes were high. I woke up feeling fantastic. Since then I have repeated the experiment (to make sure it wasn't a fluke) and found that no matter how much wine I drink, as long as I use the drops, I don't have a migraine the next day. I'm so pleased to have found something that makes wine drinking possible and enjoyable again! I have nothing but great things to say about the product. It's easy to use and very discreet. I visited some friends last week and we spent a few hours at a wine bar. It was easy to add my drops. I took a small taste of the wine before adding the drops and found that it did not alter the taste at all. Thanks for a great product and a great buying experience. I will be back for more." —Mackenzie

15. A bottle of Bio Oil that's amassed over 60,000 positive ratings for gently treating uneven complexions. It's also non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog pores and ::jumps for joy:: can be used on the face to eradicate acne scars, too.
16. An air fryer from the food pros that brought you the Instant Pot.

17. A ultra-thin electrical outlet cover to discreetly disguise bulky plugs and the nest of cables that run from your wall socket. This comes with an additional power strip so you can slyly tidy up the look of your space and provide extra outlets at the same time. Genius!

This magic sauce also eliminates toe-curling odors, so yep, even those pit stains won't stand a chance against this stuff.
Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action.
Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products. And with every purchase made, a portion is donated to local families in need.
My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Emma Lord uses this and tells us: "This spray does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)."
Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long pre-soak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer
