We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A lovely smelling and powerful odor-eliminating spray — if you've spent forever scrubbing away at pet messes, but *still* can't seem to get rid of the odor, simply spray this stuff for a fast and low-effort solution! And when it's done, it'll leave behind the scent of fresh-squeezed oranges instead of irritating chemicals.
While reviewers love the way this stuff deals with gross smells, they warn not to spray it directly on pets as some may find it irritating.
Promising review: "LOVE this stuff! Great smell, and stains come right out! New puppy went frequently in one room. That room stunk even after using almost a whole bottle of a different cleaner! I sprayed one time with this, and all the smell was gone! In the pics, the before is of a puppy accident after cleanup with paper towels, and the after picture shows how it looked after using Angry Orange." —Jamie L Stewart

2. A clip-on silicone colander for taking the ~strain~ out of straining noodles. It's flexible, cleans up easy, and can be attached to cookware of almost any size!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Abby Kass loves this thing: "It is such a game changer. I have hated using a colander so much. It's so bulky, hard to use, and takes SO much time to clean. This solves all those problems. I've clipped it on various pots and pans, and it's fit every single one. It makes it ridiculously easy to strain the water out of the pasta and even the excess fat from ground beef. I'm throwing my old colander away because it will never be used now that I have this genius tool!"
Promising review: "Love, love, love this pasta strainer!!! My husband and I hate cleaning out the strainer, so I ordered this to make life easier. OMG, does it make life easier!!! If this ever breaks, I’ll be ordering another! It’s very sturdy and easy to use. Absolutely love it!" —Freyja
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors).
3. A pack of 36 acne patches that'll absorb pimple-causing gunk out of your skin overnight! They'll speed up the healing process and give you clearer-loking skin without the picking or popping that can leave scars behind.
Promising review: "When I ordered this product, I admit, I didn't think it would work. I have adult acne and visit a dermatologist regularly, my chin area is especially bad. I used one the first night I received them. It's acne sorcery. I honestly could not believe it worked. Pimple gone overnight and a flat surface remained. I do not know how they get this pimple magic to work but I am sold and have literally texted all the people in my life. It's complete magic! Do it, I promise you will be shocked!" —Heather L.

4. A tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eyeshadow primer because you didn't spend time putting on eye makeup in the morning only for it to be all smudged, faded, and creased by the time the afternoon rolls around. This stuff'll help enhance and lock in your eyeshadow, keeping it vibrant and in place all day long!
It's cruelty-free!
Promising review: "Best primer EVER. It goes on very smoothly, and it will keep your eye makeup in place literally all day. It also helps with maximizing the pigments in your eyeshadow, making sure they pop. I also bought a tube for my mom, because she struggles with oily skin and her eyeliner never stays on. Once she used this, not only did her eyeliner stay in place and not budge, but it helped control the oil as well. Out of all the primers I've tried, this is the only one I will use, because it is reliable and affordable." —Carolyn
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
5. A wood polish and conditioner with beeswax and orange oil — it'll impressively hide those nicks and scratches making your floors, doors, furniture, and other wood surfaces look old and dingy. Now you can put off replacing them and save some $$$!
Promising review: "I never write reviews. This stuff is amazing. I tried to see if it could get rid of some watermarks on a table we frequently use. It turned into a wood-polishing party at 11 p.m. on a Saturday; three tables, a wooden trunk from the 1800s, and a carved hutch from the 1600s, and I’m absolutely blown away. It is honestly a miracle product. And it doesn’t have a nasty smell. I get migraines from certain scents and this stuff is a light citrus scent and nothing that’s too heavy. Seriously, I would give it 10 stars!" —K.O.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
6. A pet hair remover for anyone who can never seem to get all of their pet's fur off of their clothes and furniture. Just roll it over your fuzz-covered item of choice, and watch it lift the fur RIGHT OFF. Then simply dump out and reuse — no more annoying sticky papers like other lint rollers!
Promising review: "If I could give this product six stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
7. And a dual-head undercoat rake brush that seems to magically (yet gently and smoothly) remove mats and help you deal with your furry friends' shedding — especially if your pets have thick, long fur that you struggle to keep up with.
Promising review: "Game changer! I can't believe I went so long without this dog brush. I've tried other brushes that promise the moon but do nothing more than waste money. Not this one! It's like a magic wand for dog hair. With each swipe, it's like I'm peeling away a layer of fluffy clouds. It's not one of those brushes that cling onto the fur for dear life. Cleaning it is a breeze. Just a quick shake and it's ready for action again. No more wrestling with tangled fur. If you've got a German shepherd in your life, this dog brush is a blessing. It simplifies life, keeps the fur at bay, and turns grooming into a tail-wagging good time. Your couch, bed, and rugs will thank you!" —Elaine
Get it on Amazon for $12.59+ (available in four colors).
8. A Goody Hair Spin Pin capable of doing the work of 20 bobby pins for an impressive and easy-to-achieve all-day hold!
Simply gather your hair into a ponytail, twist your hair into a tight bun and tuck in the ends, then spin one pin from the top and the other from the base.
Promising review: "I must confess I am obsessed with these. I discovered spin pins this summer. I love them!! I have medium-thickness hair, and these work well for me. They are so simple to use and keep my hair up all day!! I own several pair." —kc in va
Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.89+ (available in two styles).
9. A jalapeno corer – it makes it faster and simpler to get rid of unwanted seeds while making it *harder* for you to accidentally slice your hand open in the process.
Promising review: "Where has this thing been all my life?? Omg, it makes making poppers so fast! And they look great! It even works on the small sweet peppers too. Use this thing to seed your peppers. Then place your filling into a pastry bag or even a Ziploc bag with the tip snipped off. Fill your peppers, and it makes it go so fast! Love love it! I’ve ordered one for my FIL too, as he also loves making poppers!!" —QueenRegina
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
10. A popular, nonaerosol dry shampoo powder for those mornings before work or class when you probably should've showered but simply didn't have the time. Gently rub it in to absorb excess oil and add instant volume — no one has to know!
The bottle is tiny, but reviewers also note that a little goes a long way, so even a small bottle can last for a long time!
Promising review: "OK so I never leave reviews for anything, but I have to for this dry shampoo! I stopped using aerosols several months ago, and I have tried so many dry shampoo powders since then that have done absolutely nothing and are also really annoying to apply. This one actually works and is just as easy as an aerosol. I usually can get maybe three days out of a hair wash with other dry shampoos, but I got to day five with this one and my hair still looked freshly washed. I never thought I would find anything that worked for me as well as my beloved Batiste, but I think I like this one even more!" —Kennedy
Get it from Amazon for $16 (also available in packs).
11. An indoor insect trap that uses a UV light to attract bugs, a fan to suck them in when they get too close, and sticky glue boards to trap them inside. It looks much nicer than most indoor bug traps and does a great job reducing the number of mosquitos, fruit flies, and other insects trying to invade your home.
It's also a great alternative to other sticky traps that sometimes unintentionally trap rodents, leading to a cruel and inhumane death.
Promising review: "This is an amazing product! I woke up in the middle of the night with itching on my hand and face. Now, I live in south Mississippi, and anyone who lives here knows that our mosquito population is healthy! So, I researched and found this product. It had good reviews, so I bought it. Let me tell you, this thing is nothing short of amazing!
"The first night, it caught four mosquitoes in my bedroom. The second night, five in my daughter's room. I set it in all four bedrooms for over a week and caught mosquitoes in all rooms. In the kitchen/living room — six mosquitoes, two house flies, and three fruit fly-looking things in one night. I turn it on every night somewhere in the house and it catches mosquitos....every night. Bottom line, it works very very well! If you see one mosquito in your house, there are likely dozens, and every time you open the door, more come in. Buy it, it works!" —Vincent
Get it from Amazon for $39.59+ (available in two colors and three strengths).
12. A car seat gap filler so you can stop struggling to dig for your phone, keys, or anything else that tends to fall into the dreaded black hole between the seats.
Drop Stop is a small business that specializes in car accessories.
Promising review: "I just don’t understand why I didn’t buy this sooner. It’s one of those things that you’re not really sure why you need it but once you have it, you can’t live without. It saved my poor arm from having to dig my keys, cellphone, pens, french fries, hair ties, you-name-it from between the seat gap. Seriously, it’s awesome." —Sara G-M.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
13. And a portable car vacuum you'll definitely want on hand for dealing with on-the-go spills as well as the mud and sand that inevitably find their way into your vehicle no matter what you do.
It's only 2.4 pounds, comes with three different-sized attachments, and plugs into your vehicle's 12-V Aux outlet.
Promising review: "This portable vacuum is ammmmmazing! I love all of the attachments to get the hard-to-reach spots! It gets the job done! TikTok made me buy it! If you are on the fence about this one... do it! Hit that 'buy now' button. You will not be disappointed. Never putting quarters in a timed vacuum again. There is never enough time, and you rush around trying to beat the timer. Or is that just me? Haha" —Abigail
Get it from Amazon for $19.58+ (available in three colors, corded and cordless versions, and with or without a light).
14. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic that syncs with most devices so you can live out all your pop star dreams without leaving your home. Plus, you can even use it as a Bluetooth speaker by turning off the microphone function!
Promising review: "You don't understand — TikTok made me obsess over this microphone. As a 30+ year-old woman, I resisted purchasing it. I finally broke down and bought it because it was haunting me in my sleep. I'm so glad I did. When I am in a bad mood, I start karaoke in my house and am instantly better. It has 'ruined' my teenage son's life because my performances can be heard through his Xbox microphone. This is a must-have product." —Zane A. Undercoffer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 15 colors).
15. A set of Wad-Free pads brilliantly designed to help prevent your sheets from getting all tangled, twisted, and balled up every time you wash them. It'll also help them dry faster with fewer wrinkles so you can stop paying for extra cycles.
Wad-Free is a woman-owned small business! After wasting time and energy on wadding problems, Cyndi Bray invented Wad-Free for bedsheets.
Promising reviews: "It's a miracle product! Oh my gosh, I only had to run the dryer one time to dry the sheets instead of my usual four times. They looked cleaner too!" —Bonnie
"I was mildly skeptical, but it works exactly as promoted! I've used it five times and each time there's been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases balled up and still wet when the dryer goes off. Super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the fitted sheet so I don't have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these as gifts. LOVE it!" —Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
16. A pair of bear claws — they make it so much quicker and easier to shred meats than when using your bare hands. Hate getting your fingers covered in greasy rotisserie chicken? Use these instead!
Promising review: "Just yesterday, I was using these claws to turn a roast I was browning, and I declared my undying love for them. Then I remembered I haven't yet written a review for them. They seriously have changed my life as far as cooking meat. Flipping a chicken, or a goose, or a duck, turning a roast, transferring a roast from the rack onto the board for cutting, holding the meat steady while cutting — the claws do it all. They are like salad hands for your meat. Buy them and see your life change too!" —Anonymous
Get them from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two styles).
17. Revlon's volcanic face roller you can roll over your T-zone or other greasy areas to soak up excess oil *without* messing up your carefully applied makeup. Stop buying wasteful oil-blotting sheets and use this instead!
The face roller is reusable! Just twist the ring to pop out the stone, then wash it with a mild soap/cleanser and let it air dry after every use.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this roller! I normally have to use oil blotting sheets three times a day, and this roller makes me feel so much more environmentally conscious. This roller seriously just takes the oil right off of your face. It's super easy to clean and reuse. I have one by my bathroom sink, one in my gym bag, and one in my purse, and I've been reusing them all for months!" —K
Get it from Amazon for $9.14.
18. A universal cup holder that easily attaches to strollers, diaper bags, and more so you can stop juggling your water, coffee, and other beverages while trying to care for your little one on the go.
Ryan & Rose is a family-owned small business that creates stylish accessories parents will love. Reviewers also love adding this cup holder to other objects like their spin bikes, beach chairs, shopping carts, and more.
Promising review: "Great for travel! I attached this to my carry-on suitcase handle for the airport. It was perfect to hold a drink, phone, candy, or something I didn't have the extra hands for, but still needed to be easily accessible. Held a Starbucks cup perfectly, as well as my Yeti 18oz rambler bottle. It's versatile. I might get one for my sister to use on her travel stroller!" —shawnajab
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 12 colors).
19. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges reviewers say are a great and more affordable alternative to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers if you're looking to effectively clean surfaces without using chemicals. Simply add water to these extra thick sponges and watch in amazement as the grime wipes away without leaving damage behind!
Reviewers have used this to clean marks on their walls from their kid's markers, grease marks, the yellow rust stains in their tubs, pigment stains from paint, and even dirty sneakers! Note: The sponges *will* slowly disintegrate as you use them— good thing there's 20 in the pack!
Promising review: "Obsessed. You start by scrubbing that one scuff that's been bugging you every time you walk by since the day it mysteriously appeared. ... Then, you see a small one next to it. Then, hours have passed, and you're holding this shriveled up fluff, and your house is spotless, and you realize you can't live without these things." —Amazon customer
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as a pack of 100).
20. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a lightweight face serum that could repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin, helping to heal acne scars, fade dark spots, and smooth fine lines. It's designed for all skin types, and reviewers love how gentle and effective it is — with many seeing results within the first few uses!
Promising review: "I’m legitimately shocked by this product! I think this is the best thing I’ve ever put on my face. I have super sensitive skin, and I gave myself a retinol burn. I had huge dry patches all over my face, and it was so uncomfortable. I ordered this, and after using it for one day, my face wasn’t red anymore. I’ve been using it for three days, and the fine lines I had on my forehead and smile lines are hardly visible, and I have no more dry patches on my face anywhere. I’m amazed. I can’t wait to see what this continues to do for my skin. If you’re thinking about buying this, here’s your sign — get it!!!" —Colleen Barringer
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
21. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit to simplify your meal prepping! Forget chopping your veggies one by one and having to clean a cutting board when you can just toss 'em in this device! And when you're done, just pop out the interchangeable blades and throw 'em in the dishwasher!
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
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
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in five styles and three colors).
22. An impressively effective Hairbrella — it allows you to keep your hands free while protecting your flawless hairdo from sudden downpours. It folds up super small, making it great to toss into your bag if you don't have room for an actual umbrella. Plus, it's satin-lined to help avoid dryness and frizz when the time comes to free your locks!
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that specializes in hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather.
Promising review: "Works like a charm! So...of course, the day I get my hair done, an unexpected torrential downpour occurs, and I have NO umbrella. But...I DID have my Hairbrella in my bag! This was the first time I would get to try it out since I purchased it, so I was REALLY hoping it would live up to its hype. I loosely pinned my hair up with a few bobby pins, secured that sucka in place, and took off! While I looked like I just exited a dunk tank after my valiant sprint to my car, my hair was BONE DRY!!! 🙌🏾 Not a drop of moisture hit my hair. Hairbrella is the TRUTH!!!" —Lina
Get it from Amazon for $44 (available in 10 colors).
23. A pair of extra-long oven mitts to do a better job protecting your wrists and forearms from the hot, hot oven!
Promising review: "There is nothing to dislike about these oven mitts. They arrived quickly, and I use them every day. I've baked cookies and bread and roasted meat and veggies without a single burn, which is a first for me. These long mitts protect way up on my arms, and they are very flexible. No more pans slipping out of my hands because of padded cotton mitts that are too bulky to allow for a good grip. I will never use anything but these mitts, and I'm buying some for my daughter as well!" —Georgia grandma
Get it from Amazon for $14.18+ (available in 12 colors, as well as a slightly smaller size).
24. A Crave Naturals Detangling Brush designed to glide through wet *or* dry hair while gently separating tangles (instead of tugging or ripping through them like other brushes) — all thanks to the firm but flexible bristles and unique cone shape that makes this brush a great option for kids *and* adults!
Promising review: "This is the BEST detangler EVER!!! Do not use on dry hair though if you have curly or wavy hair. It will straighten your hair and leave it frizzy. But, use this in the shower with your conditioner, and you can finger-comb your hair, air dry if possible, and your waves and curls will be the best ever!" —TDHokey
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 colors/styles and in packs of two).
25. Polished Lucky leather ankle boots that'll ~kick~ your wardrobe into gear. They work great with a variety of outfits and are super comfy. Prepare for a new staple!
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "These are the most comfortable booties I have ever worn. The footbed is divine. I would seriously like to thank the genius that designed them. I can walk all day in them in the city and my feet feel great. I have both black and toffee leather — very soft leather, which I like. I did take another reviewer's advice and treated them with beeswax sealer before wearing. So, they are holding up pretty well considering how much daily wear and abuse they've had." —M.Jerge
Get it from Amazon for $80.19+ (available in sizes 5–13, medium and wide widths, and a variety of styles — not every size is available every style).
26. An unbelievably fast and easy-to-use Yonanas soft serve maker capable of turning any frozen fruit into a creamy, sorbet-like dessert in just minutes — *without* having to add any other ingredients! Plus, when you're done, all removable parts can go straight onto the top rack of the dishwasher, and the base simply wipes clean.
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
Get it from Amazon for $34.18.
27. A set of extra soft cooling bedsheets beloved by hot sleepers who usually struggle to get through the night without waking up in a serious sweat. Plus, they come in a wide variety of colors so you can ensure they match the rest of your bedroom's vibe!
Sets come with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases (with only one pillowcase included in the twin size).
Promising review: "These are the real deal!! I found them from a TikTok and my husband actually said after the first night, 'Let’s just replace all of our sheets with these, they’re so comfortable!' It’s a beautiful blue and white pattern. They wash well and breathe at night — I am always hot but these stayed cool. Definitely buying more!" —Julia Monroe
Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king and 40 colors).
28. A flexible ceiling fan cleaner ingeniously designed to clean all four sides of each fan blade in one swoop so it won't be raining dust bunnies the next time you switch it on.
It's also great for cleaning lighting fixtures, moldings, baseboards, car interiors, blinds, and other hard-to-reach areas that just love to collect dust while you avoid dealing with them.
Promising review (it's long but worth it): "A friend showed me this product and WOW! It is much more than I thought it would be! First, it makes cleaning your fan blades easier than ever. Fitting the attachment to the pole is simple and cleaning the blades is even simpler. The dust stays mostly trapped inside the collector while it works on both sides of the blade at once. No more tired arms, dusty mess, or wasted time.
"Second, the flexible dusting attachment is even MORE useful, and an obvious must for this straight forward product! You can go to town removing dust from all your high-up-dust-collecting-surfaces with ease and confidence.
"Third, the build quality is much more substantial than I thought it would be. It's built well. The fittings are snug and secure, and the pole is a sturdy and very comfortable to hold. Great design. Will be purchasing another for my grandmother who has difficulty cleaning her fans in Florida!" —jeremy k
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "THESE ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE SANDALS EVER! They don't rub, pinch, or squeeze and I love them so much. 💗 If you're on the fence about ordering these because you have a wide foot, size up and BUY. THE. DANG. SHOES!

Now you can easily remove stains, grease, and other grime from a wide variety of materials — all without leaving behind any scratches or streaks!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life-changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.

Promising review: "Okay I just wanna say that I am OBSESSED with this cleaner. I was pregnant af and not wanting to scrub my shower and bath, and let me tell you... this stuff is magic! I spray it and let it sit, and it removes dirt, soap scum, discoloration — EVERYTHING. I never have to scrub.
"This is my second time buying it, because after it was out, I had to get more. It literally makes chores fine and easy. Life saver!!!! It even cleans off old pee stains the boys in my house leave under the toilet seat. I will ALWAYS have wet and forget in my house! LOVE IT AND YOU NEED TO GET IT." —Miranda

Reviewers with various hair types says this tool is golden — thin straight hair, thick 4c hair, etc. A few people noted that it's even wig- and weave-safe!
Promising reviews: "I AM OBSESSED. My friends recommended this product and I’m so glad I finally got one!!!! I feel like the waves look so natural. I have straight, fine hair that can barely hold a curl, and I don’t even have to use hairspray to keep these waves — plus it adds lots of volume! Once you get the technique down, it’s super quick and easy, It takes me about 15 minutes or so! I can’t say enough good things about this product, so just get it!! —Lydia Delcourt
"I'm always skeptical about new hair tools, as I've been burned many times (pun intended). However, I kept seeing posts about how great this tool is, so I bought it. I love it! My hair is to my waist and very thick and naturally curly, and it worked very well. It took me about 15 minutes to wave all of my hair. The tool is light and has a comfortable grip. I use the highest heat setting and hold it on my hair for five seconds on each portion of the section of hair I'm working on. The waves can hold for days...I highly recommend." —Ana V.

34. And Corated's Heatless Hair Curler — now you can achieve perfect curls without potentially damaging your hair with heat.

This heatless curler comes as a set, so you'll also get two matching silk scrunchies and a hair clip with purchase!
Promising review: "I could not be more obsessed with this. I have stick-straight hair and I'm a new mom. I love feeling glam but have about seven minutes to get ready every morning. I put these in when I go to sleep at night. They're comfy and only take two minutes to put in. And when I wake up, I pull them out in 15 seconds, mist with hairspray, and I have bouncy curls for the rest of the day. Works better than curling irons for me!" —nikki liu

35. A set of popular fine tip pens in 18 gorgeous colors that'll make doodling way more fun while your least favorite professor goes on and on about something you can just *telI* isn't gonna show up on the test.
36. A set of self-tying shoelaces that'll turn your favorite pair of shoes into slip-ons so you can get out the door faster and spend less time hunched over — something your back *and* your busy schedule will thank you for.

You can also adjust the tension easily if your feet are more swollen on a particular day.
Promising review: "Obsessed with these laces. Bought these after two years of frustration with the round laces on my Keen hiking shoes. I had never had laces come undone so easily after tying or double knotting. Since I had paid so much for the shoes, I searched for new laces and these no-tie ones came up. Amazing. I can now slip the shoes on and walk or hike without worrying about tripping. They make my shoe fit better too by being perfectly snug." —Sandra

If you're looking for salon-worthy results for less than $10, don't sleep on this product that reviewers are comparing to Olaplex — which costs over *three* times more!
Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like.
Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Promising review: "I am obsessed! Our 2.5-year-old was getting very picky and wouldn’t eat any meats or veggies! This plate makes her want to keep eating until she gets to her prize. I’ve even noticed that when we are out, she now finishes her plate even without this special plate! Love love love this! I hand wash it, and it holds up perfectly!" —phmomof4

Promising review: "I LOVE these! The magnet is a great way to install these, but I rent so Command strips are working very well for me. I have one over the bedroom door (in a dark hallway) and another in my closet. The motion detection is so convenient and works perfectly. Everything about these is designed so perfectly, from installation to their perfect size for any location. the best part, though? They're rechargeable! Couldn't be better designed or more perfect!" —Sibelius

40. A liquid callus remover because it's basically the equivalent of getting a pedicure in your own home (but less expensive). This stuff'll quickly get rid of YEARS worth of calluses that you thought were just part of your feet forever. Not anymore!
Promising review: "BEST THING I'VE EVER BOUGHT. I’ve spent so much money on foot creams, lotions, and foot scrubbers over the years. Like for legit 10 years now I’ve had cracked heels. My feet are always dry, and my heels get so bad that they crack and bleed. I’ve tried so many things that I honestly just believed I’d always have cracked heels forever.
"I followed the directions exactly, and used gloves along with only leaving the gel on for no more than five minutes. I think I could’ve probably left the gel on for a little longer because of how bad my heels are, so I’ll do it again tomorrow, but already they look like brand new feet!! The kind of feet I thought I’d never have! So, I’m incredibly impressed and so excited!" —Heather Nelson

43. A speedy RC car both kids *and* adults will love thanks to the easy-to-use, long-range remote control, rechargeable batteries, and the ability to withstand rugged surfaces. VROOM VROOM!
Promising review: "I’ve bought many RC cars ranging from $20–$500, and this one is by far the best RC car yet. It’s been able to handle rough riding — muddy terrain, water, and massive jumps off ramps. I will definitely be buying more. In fact, half the neighborhood bought one after seeing my son drive his around. I would say this is for a more 'experienced' operator, but it’s so well built, it can also handle a newbie. It’s fast though, so if you are new to the RC world, drive it with caution." —ShearSassyStyles

44. A nail concealer to subtly brighten nails and hide yellowing and staining.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed. It is smooth and easy to apply, it dries evenly, and it is a little thicker than normal polish, which I love. It looks like I got my nails professionally done, but I paid half the price, and it took me half the time to do it myself!" —C.M. HervHeitz
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in five shades).
45. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess mascara that defines and separates lashes to give you the bold look you usually need falsies for. Plus, it'll last all day — even in hot weather — without clumping, flaking, or fading.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd says, "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes, without the discomfort."
Promising review: "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5 you couldn’t ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." —Kd
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

46. A compact kid's drum set to give the gift of music to all the little rockers out there. While it's by no means a professional adult drum kit, lots of reviewers are surprised by how much better it is than other more toy-like sets.
Promising review: "Amazing quality. This is a legit drum kit. Perfect for a beginner but gives them a real experience with sound, set up, and quality. With such a low price, I was skeptical, but when they arrived, I couldn’t believe it! It wasn’t a toy or a poor attempt of an instrument. They are even made out of quality wood like expensive full-size drum sets. Being a former drummer myself, my expectations were low with this set. I can’t say enough how impressed I am with these. My son is 7 and it fits him perfectly." —Legacy

It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" —Pond P.
