1. A watermelon cutter for some perrrrfect little melon cubes. Super safe to use, even for kids cuz the blades aren't sharp. Warm weather = bring on the watermelon. 😋
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising reviews: "This tool is so handy!! I hate cutting watermelon, and this is so fast and easy to use and easy to wash. I cut a watermelon in less than five minutes. It cuts yellow watermelon too!!! The included baller is great for the small leftover, hard-to-reach places." —Andrea D.
Get it from Amazon for $12.37.
2. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller for an easy peasy cleanup. And this reusable baby doesn't lose its effectiveness after use! If you gotta clean your couch every single day and you absolutely hate it, add this to your cart and thank me later.
Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne E.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
3. A pack of heel stoppers to avoid your heels sinking into the grass worse than the Titanic sunk. Think of how perfect these would be for outdoor summer weddings if you're gonna be a bridesmaid or even the bride! A total must-have.
Promising review: "I received this by 12 p.m. using Prime One Day on the DAY of my wedding (yes my bad that I was so busy and completely forgot to get this earlier!) Snapped these on my Jimmy Choo thin heels immediately and they SAVED my day! They stayed on my heels the entire four hours that I walked in them in an outdoor garden with grass and gravel ground. I was greeting guests and taking photos and these protected the heels and they still looked decent afterwards. No sinking into grass, dirt, or gravel, and no embarrassment. They made my heels more stable and comfortable to walk in as well. So glad I got these!" —Jenn H.
Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in sizes XXS–M for different heel thicknesses).
4. Vacuum-free space-saving compression bags so that instead of packing seven outfits for your three-day trip, you can pack 14. Look, I totally understand, I always overpack too and you 👏 need 👏 options 👏 !!! You don't need to pay for another suitcase at the airport cuz these bags will make your clothes shrink itty bitty, meaning you can fit more stuff! Put your clothes in em, zip 'em up, roll the bag, and *voila* you can bring that other sundress.
Promising review: "These were the things I never knew I needed for traveling. They work just as advertised and are really useful when going on a trip. I always hate at the end of a trip having to mix dirty and clean clothes — a 'laundry bag' or plastic shopping bag never really felt like a good enough separation. These bags seal up and conceal the most stinky, wet clothes from your clean unused clothes. They are going to be one of my new necessities for my big family when traveling." —Sarbello
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $16.97.
5. The cult-fave programmable Instant Pot Duo that should be paid six figures because it does soooo many jobs. A pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, sauté pan, steamer, and rice cooker, what can't this thing do? Toss the ingredients in, hit the button, and this thing will handle the rest. Kinda like an adult Magic Mixie.
Reviewers have made everything in this from pork ribs to New York style cheesecake. It'll be hard not to wanna cook every dinner in this.
Check out BuzzFeed's full Instant Pot review.
Promising review: "There are so many people who say they can't cook, but I swear I'm on a whole new level of not being able to cook. This little appliance helps expand our menu and I have learned to do so much with it. I love how easy it is and how I throw everything in and it comes out done. No stirring and not many messy dishes. I still don't love it for meats, but I think that's just a matter of needing to experiment more with them. I seriously can't believe how many foods can be cooked in here! I found a recipe for a mac 'n' cheese that everyone loves. It's only five ingredients and only requires washing a cheese grater and the pot and it only takes 20 minutes. Before this I had never once made spaghetti with meat sauce. Now I do it all the time. Again, I only have ONE thing to clean afterwards. If I tried doing with without the Instant Pot, I would have a pan for the meat, pot for the pasta, and the strainer. It only takes about 20 minutes start to finish. Since I usually don't have to do many dishes with the Instant Pot, I tend to enjoy experimenting. My family is constantly surprised at how much this has changed how we eat. I love that when we have a last-minute neighborhood get-together and I can whip up a pasta dish and veggie real quick." —Aundrea

6. A robot vacuum so your home can stay clean without, ya know, having to clean it. This thing is self-charging, works on carpets and hardwood floors, and has sensors to navigate through your place. No more manually vacuuming your floors every day — this robot has it covered.
Promising review: "This little vacuum has changed my life. I turn it on every other day before I leave for work and when I get home, my floors are clean. I live in an 850-square-foot apartment in New York City and when I used to vacuum with my Miele canister vacuum, the apartment would look great for about two days until a light layer of dust would appear. Now, with the Roomba, I turn it in every other morning, and no more layer of dust. The place feels clean ALL the time. Love it!" —sharpsteven
Get it from Amazon for $249.99.
7. A toothbrush holder and toothpaste dispenser to avoid your kid getting toothpaste literally everywhere. It's got five toothbrush slots, two toothpaste squeezers, and four cups to hold pretty much whatever you'd like to throw in 'em. Impressive.
Promising review: "I am SO happy I bought this for my bathroom! It looks so clean, is easy to install, and easy to clean when toothpaste gets on it! The design is simple, yet genius! My 5-year-old uses it with ease and she doesn't make a mess with the toothpaste tube anymore! I am extremely satisfied and I have had it for three months now. TikTok made me buy it, LOL!" —Stephanie M.
Get it from Amazon for $16.77+ (available in three colors).
8. A pack of two Dip Clips (featured on Shark Tank) so you can eat easily on those days when you're on the go all day. Clip this onto your air vent and enjoy your nuggets easily. Such a clever little invention!
Okay, besties, so I have not stopped bragging about my little chicky nuggy dip clip since I got it last Christmas. This is by far one of my favorite things I've ever received. I LOVE chicken nuggets, I wanna be a chicken nugget, but I did not like trying to dunk my nuggets while driving. This thing is so convenient for days that I don't have much time to eat and just have to grab something quick and keep going. Get yourself one if you're nugget obsessed like me. Everyone who's seen it in my car has gotten one for themselves and not regretted it!
Promising review: "Thanks to my daughter and TikTok we both have these in our car. I absolutely love this! I've tried this with a few different sauces and they work great. Some you will have to remove the white dish, but no biggie. If you eat on the go or just like to sit in the car and eat your lunch this definitely is for you. I'd purchase this item again. Someone might even get these as a gift." —Africa G.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.90 (available in four colors and in multipacks).
9. A two-pack of Downy wrinkle release spray because it's too hot to pull the iron out. It'll also help eliminate odor for neat, fresh clothing. Just spray, smooth, and go! Getting wrinkles out has never been easier.
Promising review: "We took the Downy Wrinkle Guard spray for our 14-day cruise and to our disbelief all of our clothing looked as sharp as the day that we packed our luggage. A light spray on the wrinkled area, slide your hand over, and the wrinkle is gone. Great product!" —Albert Z.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.36 (available in two scents and four sizes).
10. An Ezpz happy mat with three compartments and suction cups so your kid can't throw it onto the ground like they do with literally everything. You know that age where your kid thinks they're Thor and just need to throw anything they can get their hands on? Yeah, this mat is like Mjölnir and parent, you are the only Thor in this house so only you have the power to pick this bad boy up. Uhhh, unless your kid is Captain America.
Ezpz is is a woman-owned small biz that creates developmentally focused, minimalist tableware for kiddos.
*Oh! BTW, this is dishwasher safe!
Promising reviews: "I was worried about my toddler being able to lift this mat from her high chair tray but once you lay the mat down, it does not budge! The suction power is amazing. Love that it’s easy to hand wash or that you can put it in the dishwasher too." —Molly S.
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in six colors).
11. The Chi Spin N Curl in case curling your hair is the ultimate struggle. Put your hair in this little curling tool, and it does all the work! Heats your hair and it's timed to create the perfect curls and waves. Ta-daaa — incredible curls EVERY TIME.
This curling tool is *ideal* for people with hair between 6 and 16 inches long.
Promising review: "TikTok find was a win! This is a must buy!!! Curls my hair so quickly & the curls are perfect. I have talked this up to a few of my friends and many have purchased. A few were worried about their hair getting stuck, do not let that stop you! If your hair becomes tangled, the Spin N Curl will beep and you can easily move the wand away from your head/hair and it quickly releases any strands of hair. I discovered it off of TikTok and it didn't disappoint. Great buy for a reasonable price." —Roni
Get it from Amazon for $71.99+ (available in six colors and two styles).
12. A set of two reusable Wad-Free tools you might recognize from Shark Tank that'll make laundry day a bit easier on you. Reduce drying time and prevent clothes and sheets from getting all tangled up in each other. Being an adult is literally finding loopholes to making life easier, and these certainly do the job.
Wad-Free is a small business that was launched during the pandemic by Cyndi, who had a wadding problem and no available solutions so she created her own!
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and, well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one, so there was one for the fitted sheet and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in packs of two or four).
13. A wearable nail polish holder ring that'll make your self care mani pedi time waaaay easier and waaaay more relaxing because you won't have to constantly fumble around with the bottle. Nah, Lizzie McGuire, *this* is what dreams are made of.
Promising review: "Soon as I saw this, I knew I had to get it. How smart that someone finally came up with something that will hold your polish? Not everyone can afford to, or want to go out and get mani pedis. Some of us want to stay home, stay away from the germs and do these things ourselves. But of course, I would make a mess or tip the polish over or knock it over when working on my fingers and toes. This is perfect. It fits on my hand, it fits all sizes of nail polish bottles and it is made of a nice, thick plastic. You get 5 big stars from me." —Anne Maes
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 22 colors).
14. A reusable bacon bin grease strainer and collector made from heat-proof silicone and shaped like a little piggy since your kiddos want bacon for breakfast every morning. This little silicone piglet will hold up to one cup of bacon grease.
Talisman Designs is a small biz that specializes in products that make cooking and baking more fun!
Promising review: "The bacon bin by Talisman Designs is the best way to deal with bacon (or any!) grease! It’s the perfect size — not too large or small, and it’s easily reusable! The strainer is perfect for capturing those yummy bacon bits which normally would go down the drain or in the trash with the grease. I learned some new tips from the package for the best/easiest way to deal with leftover grease. I used to have to hunt for a leftover metal can (when I could find one), then pour in the hot grease, leave the can to cool, and then throw it out (couldn’t be recycled). Now I always have a bin for my grease! My bacon life just got way better thanks to this nifty, reusable bacon bin! Great product!" —Graceland D.
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available three styles).
15. A rapid egg cooker that'll make you the best eggs everrrrr. Like 'em scrambled? This can do that. Boiled? Not a challenge. Omelet? Easy peasy. And it'll do most of the work for you, so while your breakfast is cooking you can finish getting ready for work. I see the little hearts developing in your eyes 😍; who doesn't love a perfect omelet?!
This little baby comes with a poaching tray, omelet tray, six-egg holder tray, measuring cup, and access to a recipe database.
Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).
16. A hypoallergenic makeup brush shampoo to help make cleaning your beauty tools a much less dreadful task. If you'd literally rather buy new makeup tools than clean them, this minimal effort shampoo is just as right for you as baby bear's chair was for Goldilocks.
This shampoo formula is cruelty-free and vegan!
Promising review: "After thorough, intensive scrubbing with dish soap, I thought I'd done an ok job on my brushes. FALSE! THIS! This magical, Hogwarts-crafted solution put any soap to shame. Minimal effort, incredible results. I had no idea my brushes could go back to their original color. Best purchase ever." —AC
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
17. A bleach-free weekly shower spray that'll clean your shower till it sparkles, but that's not all, friends. This baby also prevents future soap scum buildup. Spray it, let it sit for 8–12 hours (so probz spray before bed), then wake up to a totally new shower.
Promising review: "Best product ever! It's made my cleaning easier. Just spray it and leave overnight and in the morning rinse it well with water. I scrub the tiles sometimes for a shinier look and sometimes I just spray it two or three hours before cleaning and don't need to leave it overnight. It's an amazing product, I've been using it for about a month and my faucets are shinier than ever. I love this product." —Maisha A.
Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents and refill packs).
18. The Thaw Claw since you forget to take the meat out the freezer just about, uhhh, every day. Attach it to the bottom of your sink and it'll keep your packages of protein in place while you thaw 'em underwater.
Thaw Claw is a Black-owned small biz that's been featured on Shark Tank, HSN, and Good Morning America!
Promising review: "At first this looked gimmicky, but I saw a need for something like this. I use vacuum bags to freeze my meat and with our schedules, thawing out our meal for that evening often includes placing the frozen block in water to thaw in a reasonable time. Without this item, I was left to put a heavy pot or iron skillet on top to keep it in submerged to speed the thawing process. This device, with its suction base and spread design, keeps the food item under its fingers to allow the thawing process to complete in less than half the time by just putting it in the water. And before you object, 'that’s not safe, the temperature will rise too much and promote bacteria growth' — I have ServSafe certs. I know my time and temp levels and those are in no way even close to approaching the danger zone unless you leave it for hours before cooking. I recommend this item for anyone, but especially anyone who has time constraints for evening dinner prep or any other time for that matter." —mudhen7

19. A veggie chopper for my friends who are like me and can't dice a vegetable without a potential trip to the hospital. True story, this is in my Amazon cart cuz I cut through my finger cutting yams last week. But anyway, if chopping those veggies for dinner every night seems too time consuming, this will save you sooo much time. Spiral, slice and dice with this super convenient, dishwasher-safe kitchen gadget.
A plus is that this baby can slice through a potato BUT remember how sharp that means it is and BE CAREFUL touching the blades! You'll get five different blades including a small dicer, large dicer, slicer, grater, and a julienne blade.
Promising review: "Cooking has completely changed with this product. It's a must have in the kitchen for me now. It makes chopping and slicing vegetables/etc, wayyyyy faster and easier. The blades are VERY sharp, so be careful when using, I have cut myself just washing it. But it's great." —Helen B.
Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in six styles).
20. A sterilizer and dryer because you're already a busy parent and cleaning every single bottle is super duper time consuming. This thing will sanitize and dry a wholeeee lotta bottles, pacifiers, and pump parts quickly saving you time. Go take a nap or go to bed early, and let this baby do the hard work. Don't you just love things that make parenting easier?
This baby can clean up to 11 bottles and accessories like teethers, pacifiers, and plastic toys at once.
Promising reviews: "Makes my life much easier!! I was washing bottles multiple times a day and then boiling a huge pot of water to drop them in to sterilize them. This is so much easier. You just put the bottles in, and it sanitizes and dries them for you!! I love the drying aspect, as I was wiping off all the bottles with paper towels every time I washed them. The cycles are either 45 mins or 65 mins. Way less time than waiting for a huge pot of water to boil and all the hand drying time! This is definitely worth it!" —soozer07
"Can't live without this. Perfect for a mommy on the run with a million things to do! Bottles are nicely sanitized and dry! Literally took some weight off my shoulders." —Claudia Emanuels Keel
Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in two styles).
21. A budget planner so you stop unnecessarily spending money...if you do it, I'll do it. (Ugh, we're such grown-ups, because why does budgeting sound fun?) That $10 you're spending daily on fast food breakfast could pay for a whole trip later. Anddd you can work things out so you're not living on $5 for the week after you unnecessarily buy any and every thing you want.
It has space for income, spending, monthly budgeting, and comes with two sticker sheets!
Promising review: "This budgeting planner is the bees knees. I love how many details it has to make your budget work for you. The little cubby in the back is so perfect for cash envelopes and stickers! It’s neatly laid out and there are so many places to take notes and really break it down. And the price *chef's kiss*." —.be.bop.

22. An adjustable, collapsible, microwavable, dishwasher-safe, and Shark Tank-featured Pizza Pack container that'll hold up to five slices of 'za for an effective way to store that pie you ordered and plan to eat for the next two days. So get that huge pizza box that's taking up all your fridge space the heck outta here! This baby is shaped to prevent smushing and topping loss, has a vent for reheating, and five removable dividers so your slices don't get all stuck together. Pizza lovers rejoice because this thing is *genius*.
Pizza Pack is a small biz that specializes in perfectly adjustable ways to store the 'za!
Promising review: "It's always a pain to put away leftover pizza. It never seems to work. UNTIL THIS PRODUCT!!! I am very happy with my purchase. It's easy to keep the pieces separate from others and you don't have a large bulky box letting your crust dry out. You can use it for one piece or several — it is very easy to expand. The best part is that it is very easy to clean. Storing the Pizza Pack when not in use doesn't take up a lot of space either. Try it." —B. Cirincione
Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in six colors and several pack sizes).
23. A pair of super absorbent period underwear for anyone with a heavy flow and, oh, you know the rest! If your time of the month has you bleeding through pads and tampons super quick, these will soak up all that blood and prevent you from experiencing those annoying times where you wake up and notice you bled through your PJ pants and gotta wash your bedsheets. And no more tossing out period-stained panties!
They can also be used as maternity panties!
Some reviewers recommend sizing up! For more info, check out BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord's full Bambody period underwear review.
Promising review: "Very comfortable and incredibly absorbent compared to other brands I've tried. These are exactly what I needed! I don't want to have to think about my period every moment or worry about leaking. These give me such peace of mind. I don't use other products, just period underwear. I was so tired of everything else and even got sick of using cups. So I just wear these for my entire cycle. Heavier days I'm changing every five or so hours, but I'm talking really heavy. Regular days, I can go morning to evening. These are great for sleeping, too!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $10+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and individually or in packs of three or six various colors).
24. The Safety Nailer to magnetically hold your nail and help you avoid smashing your fingers.
Safety Nailer is a small biz founded by a veteran that specializes in tools that protect your hands.
Promising review: "I have this and the finish nail size and they are both great! I have nerve pain in my hands and The Safety Nailer removes any chance of me banging my fingers with a hammer. What a relief!! It’s great for those of us who are not as dexterous as we once were. One of the best construction gadgets I’ve ever purchased." —w4shep
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a five-pack).
25. A game-changing microwave pasta cooker so you can make some bomb pasta without doing all that work. I meannnn, just look at that reviewer's spaghetti below — looks freakin' gourmet. You just fill this baby to the indicated line for water, heat it in the microwave for *about* 12 minutes, and boom, noodles for alfredo! Is this what Hannah Montana meant by best of both worlds?
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Katy Herman LOVES the Fasta Pasta and had this to say:
"Two of the most basic facts about me are that 1) I love pasta and 2) I'm lazy as heck. Cooking pasta is pretty easy, even for someone like me who rarely cooks. But still, it's a little more than I want to do when I'm feeling hungry and/or burnt out to wait for the water to boil and have to wash the pot and colander when I'm done. What I really needed was something that could have the whole process done in under 15 minutes and that I could just toss in the dishwasher.
Enter the Fasta Pasta (great name btw). I'm really amazed by what a game-changer it is, as well as how user-friendly it is. It comes with a booklet of instructions on how long to cook/how much pasta and water to use for all different shapes of pasta, plus there's an extended list on the product's website. All you have to do is measure out the pasta and fill the tub with water to the appropriate fill line, then microwave it on high for the noted amount of time. When it's done, you pop on the lid, which has convenient handles. I was nervous about using my bare hands to take this out of the microwave even with the handles, but amazingly it doesn't get that hot! The lid also has a built-in strainer, which is perfect for both helping you fill the Fasta Pasta with a precise amount of water and for straining once the pasta is cooked. Then voila! You've got pasta! Check out my full Fasta Pasta review (#2), and yes, please cast me in an infomercial about it."
