1. A pack of four migraine/headache patches that'll come in clutch when your head is pounding after a rough day. They have a cooling effect that lasts up to 12 hours and some reviewers say they even use 'em for hangovers. Slap one on your forehead or neck for some much needed relief.
I had COVID a few weeks ago and because I'm, like, a fake adult (like I still drink Capri-Suns, the fact that I'm an actual adult is wild), I of course had basically NOTHING in my med cabinet except Band-Aids and things to use when I get hurt cuz I get hurt more than I get sick. So I called my mom and she brought me more testing kits, soup, ginger ale...mom stuff. But I was still in pain and forgot to ask her for actual medicine. Luckily, my cousin lives in my apartment complex and she brought over a little sick care package — tea, more soup, Body Armor drinks, Tylenol, and these little miracles. The migraines were making me SO nauseous and I couldn't sleep, so I slapped one of these on my forehead and OMG, the literal instant relief was wild. It has a slight menthol-y smell combined with some sort of magic, and a cooling effect that helped make my head stop throbbing so I could sleep (yes, I slept with them on). I love these so much and I will never be without them again. These were my quarantine MVP.
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.72.
2. Or a migraine stick to help relieve that terrible headache you get every so often. This cruelty-free, vegan little stick is made with essential oils such as peppermint and lavender and can also help with nausea. Just rub a little on your forehead, temples, and back of neck. After you spend the entire day at your screen, this stuff will be right by your side to get you some relief.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Katy Herman is a fan of this little magic stick. Check out her Migrastil review for a little more info about it!

Promising review: "I have no earthly idea why this works, but it brought me back from the dead after an 11-day headache. I found it worked better to rub it all over my hot pack, zap it in the microwave, and wrap it around the base of my neck. The aromatherapy was great, and it dulled my headache enough to restore my will to live." —Katie B.
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
3. A padded wire-free push-up bra because you're in your 30s and *still* have not found a bra that gives you the exact cleavage look you want. It has adjustable drawstrings so you can achieve the vibe you were going for in that one top. This'll be your absolute favorite bra you've ever owned — reviewers are even saying they like it better than the Victoria's Secret bombshell bra.
Promising reviews: "I have breastfed two kids and have the ✨iconic✨ bottom-heavy boobs. I am a 34D, I bought this in a 36C (sister size) and it fits like it was made for me. My boobs usually look and fit best in a balconette or shelf style bra, but baby….this bra right here is absolutely stunning. NO gapping at the top, even without tying the ribbon. It is wireless but has a nice, wide band that keeps everything up and where you want it. The material is buttery soft, no weird seams or itchy straps. 10/10 in my book! It came with an extender, though I don’t need it, but it is a nice touch. If you’re looking for a sign, this is it!" —Kayla Harrison
"I have to go to extremes to get some kind of visible cleavage. My breasts are almost non-existent and sometimes, it gives me confidence issues. But this bra? This thing is mind blowing! I actually have the boob crack. 😍🤣 And it's seriously so comfortable. Finally a bra for all chest sizes. My heart is happy lol. Just buy the damn bra! You won't be disappointed." —Truck_Driving_Gal

4. An all-in-one nonstick multipurpose pan from BuzzFeed's Goodful collection because you'd love nothing more than to buy the trendy Always Pan but you refuse to spend that money on one aesthetically pleasing pan. It's a whole lotta good wrapped up into one super beautiful piece of cookware. Ooh! And it's dishwasher safe! What you really need in your 30s is for sure a great pan.
It also comes with a beechwood turner! You can use it to fry food, to braise, to sauté, use it as a sauce pan, a stockpot, a wok pan, or even as a skillet — this bad boy does it all.
Promising reviews: "I bought this pan for myself as a birthday present. I first bought it for the pretty blue color and then for the size. When I first got it, it looked really big but it is the perfect size for making so many different meals. It is nonstick and so easy to clean. I love making ground beef in it, nothing sticks to the pan. The color matches my kitchen perfectly and I'm so glad I purchased it. Cleaning this pan is so easy, I hand wash it and it takes only a few minutes. I highly recommend this product." —Adrian H.
"I had the original Always Pan for about three years and it was heavily used, — wear and tear. I wanted a new one but I didn’t want to pay the high price all over again. Saw this pan on IG and I love it. It is bigger which is better. Price is better because nonstick pans eventually wear out anyways." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $42.65+ (available in three styles and seven colors).
5. A smart cutting board and knife set that comes with four color-coded, stainless-steel knives and cutting boards that are each for cutting up specific items.

Promising review: "I am obsessive about cleanliness and food safety so I really wanted separate cutting boards for each food type. After I got this set, I was surprised at how sturdy it is. I absolutely love the color coded chopping boards and matching knives because it helps me to avoid cross contamination. The drying and UV sterilization features are a nice bonus. UV will get rid of more of the nasty germs that are hiding on my knives and boards, which is extremely impressive. It's really simple to use. I wash and rinse the boards and knives, put them in the base and simply push the button once to start the drying cycle. After it's done, I press the same button twice and the unit sanitizes everything that's inside. Overall superior quality smart kitchen gadget that provides essential cutting tools with drying and UV disinfecting function all in one compact device. It keeps my countertop organized, my tools clean, and my food safe. Best purchase I've made in a long time!" —Dorothy OG

6. Or if you're like, *to heck with cutting* a reviewer-beloved veggie chopper for my friends who can't dice a vegetable without a potential trip to the hospital (🙋🏽♀️). We're leaving the hospital trips from cutting onions in our 20s y'all! If chopping those veggies 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 four different blades including a small dicer, large dicer, a spiral blade, and a ribbon blade.
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 $17.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors).
7. A pair of fleece sweatpants so you can be as cozy as possible on those staying in, drinking wine, watching Netflix nights. You may not always know what you're doing, but one thing you do know is a night on the couch in your most comfy pants will always be top tier.
Promising review: "I have now purchased three pairs of these sweatpants and then I purchased another pair by this brand that had cargo pockets. These are by far the best sweatpants I have ever found.

They're now a staple in my skincare routine for sure!" —Moreneque

Promising reviews: "I HAD to write a review. I use this in the morning and night after my whole face routine and putting on moisturizer. I don't have dark bags however, my under-eyes do get a bit puffy and I was noticing fine lines. DUDE, those fine lines are fading. Last night I went to a party and woke up looking like the crypt keeper, and this stuff normalized my creepy zombie eyes in about 20 minutes. It's $9.

It'll surely become your literal fave carry-on ever.

You'll need a portable charger which is *not* included — it just has the port for easy access — so be sure to grab one!
Promising review: "I was reluctant to consider a hard shell roller bag, convinced they hold much less than my soft side one. This Aerotrunk 23" bag fits in the overhead bin and is very spacious inside. It rolls like a dream and the interior is very well laid out. Both sides pack plenty and secure contents well and the mesh zippered bags are great for toiletries, lingerie, etc. An added bonus is the outside laptop compartment, which also stores all other electronics you might travel with. It's also classy looking! All in all, a great buy." —LCM
Get it from Amazon for $159.95+ (available in five sizes and three colors).
11. A wine wand because you love wine but wine does not love you anymore now that you've entered your 30s.

Plus, it'll help restore the natural taste of your wine after it's been opened.
And check it out on TikTok!
Promising review: "OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine. I was very skeptical, but it works like a dream! Thank you PureWine. This is really a breakthrough for me." —Penny Froh
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in other multipacks).

This is also height adjustable and has "whisper quiet" pedaling, eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, RPM, and other stats.
Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok to see it in action.
Promising review: "Absolutely love it, what a game-changer!! As a consultant who lives in a typical consulting life, I pretty much sit in front of a computer all day long. Even though I work remotely a lot, I barely leave my desk. After a while, you start to suffer from all the same common things as everyone else — back pain, neck pain, you know, all those things. Those all were changed when I got this product! It hasn't been long, but I've been using it every day. It was super easy to put together and easy to move around because of the wheels. You can totally work while using it. The best part is, YOU DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WORKING OUT and somehow it helps you concentrate better. There is no need to dedicate one hour to the gym, this could be an anytime thing — when you are working, watching shows, or even play games. I guess because of the working out, my sleep has improved as well. All in all, this thing changed my life!!" —joshua0315
Get it from Amazon for $499.99 (available in two colors).
13. A laundry folding board because folding clothes is still your least favorite task even in your 30s. This thing will have your drawer of shirts looking so crisp, it'll feel like you walked into a retail store at 9 a.m. — you know, before customers rip through 'em and throw 'em everywhere.
Promising review: "Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" —Kayli
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors).
14. A nine-piece set of airtight food containers so you can keep all your baking ingredients fresh for longer because, I mean, eventually you'll get around to your saved TikTok baking videos. It's dishwasher safe so cleanup = a breeze and each little canister comes with a genius and convenient accessory. Likeeee the container meant for flour comes with a magnetic leveler and the brown sugar canister comes with a terracotta tamper — so much perfection in this set.

And check 'em out on TikTok!
Promising review: "These clear containers are designed with the baker in made. My favorite feature is the hidden tools that attach to the lids with magnets. No more searching for a leveling tool or a shaker for dusting confectioners sugar. Do you tussle with brown sugar? No more because the container comes with a terra cotta insert in its lid!" —Carleen M. Abend
Get the nine-piece set from Amazon for $69.99 (also available in 4- and 13-piece sets).

Read more about acupressure and stress at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "Honestly a friend sent me a TikTok video on this item. I was like for $20 I'll try it, and oh my God, I have lower back problems and 20 minutes lying on this spiking mat helped relieve pressure. I work remotely and am sitting down for 8–10 hours a day, so tension builds up and this totally worked. So many ways to try using the mat." —Arlington Ink
Get it from Amazon for $26.96+ (available in 15 colors and two sizes).
16. A three-compartment kitchen wrap organizer so your drawer with the aluminum foil in it will no longer haunt your dreams. It has three labeled slots for your foil, plastic wrap, and parchment paper and each little slot has a sliding cutter, which is perfect because nothing is more frustrating than trying to cut the cling wrap (which does a miraculous job at clinging to the freaking box it comes in). This thing is seriously ideal.
Parkway Home is a California–based small biz that specializes in organization products. Oh, and check out their plastic bag organizer for your sandwich and gallon bags!
Promising review: "What I wasn't expecting is how easily the cutter slices through even odd material like Press & Seal! I thought I'd be sacrificing cutting ability for organization, but these cutters perform about 150x better than the cutters on the boxes that plastic wrap and foil come with. The box is quite stable, so pulling on the rolls won't cause the box to flop around." —Amanda Woods
Get it from Parkway Home on Etsy for $29.24+ (available in three styles, including two-slot options).
17. Nasal gel with ~soothing~ aloe so your dry little nose can get the moisture it so desperately needs. You're in your 30s — you need more than Band-Aids and Tylenol in your med cabinet and this'll be the MVP anytime your allergies act up. It's compatible with your delicate nasal tissues and gentle enough for even babies to use. Winter dryness, colds, and nosebleeds are no match for this heaven-sent little miracle.
Promising review: "I don't like to talk about it, but every year my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." —Catherine
Get it from Amazon for $3.62 (also available in a two-pack).
18. A set of two reusable terra-cotta brown sugar saver discs from BuzzFeed's Goodful collection because every time you decide you want sweet potatoes for dinner, you open up your canister of brown sugar and realize that it's rock solid. Just soak this in water, pat it dry, and throw it into the container. You can also use it for baked goods, bagels, cake, cookies, marshmallows, and dried fruit to keep 'em soft and keep moisture in. Only took us 30 years to find this hack but, hey, at least we found it!
You can also use them to keep moisture out of spices, salt, crackers, chips, and other pantry goods by simply baking the discs at 200 degrees for 5–10 minutes.
Promising review: "Okay, where has this been all of my life? I put one disc in my big, massive bag of brown sugar that I got from Costco and its been a month at least and my sugar is still so soft like I just opened a brand new bag! love it!!!" —Diana Prunean

20. A pair of high-waisted yoga pants with wide legs and a crossover V waistband that you'll practically live in.

They've also got reviewers like *Lulu who who?* cuz they're a perf Lululemon alternative.
Promising review: "I had these leggings in my cart and I contemplated as I typically buy Lululemon leggings, BUT your girl is on a BUDGET right now so I decided to buy these. The day came, I received them and Y'ALL my butt... scrumptious. These leggings are very breathable, they are not see-through at all, and they hug my hips and make my lower body look amazing." —Andrea

We're finally out of the *failed DIY attempts at a cold brew* era. Best part of all? You get a heavenly cold cup of coffee in only 60 seconds! Easy peasy!
This 12.5-ounce cup chills all beverages except carbonated ones (think tea, juice, and even wine). Fill it with water and put it in the freezer for 12 hours before using it then the next morning you're all good to go! Plus, it's dishwasher safe!
And take a peek at it on TikTok!
Promising review: "Life changing. I use this for coffee, tea, and alcohol, and it's made my life so much easier. My preference is always iced coffee over hot, but it's hard to do iced coffee without it getting watered down or taking forever. I usually just drink coffee at the Starbucks where I work, but the easiness of the hyper chiller has me drinking it at home much more often. It cools really fast, almost never taking the full 60 seconds that are recommended. This is one of my favorite coffee tools, and the instructions made it easy to put together." —Sarah Larson
Get it from Amazon for $12.67+ (available in five colors).
22. The cult-fave programmable Instant Pot Duo because you avoid cooking like that's your full time job. This thing is 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 — psh, a breeze. Kinda like an adult Magic Mixie. The only appliance you'll need to get you through your 30s.
Check out BuzzFeed's full Instant Pot review.
Promising review: "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! And I only have ONE thing to clean afterwards. 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." —Aundrea
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three sizes).
23. A two-pack of Downy wrinkle release spray so you can just avoid ironing altogether. 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 Zayas

Check this bb out on TikTok; it's made by a small biz!
Promising review: "I used it last week and it was terrific. It fit everything: magazine, iPad, tissues, gum, glasses, phone, earplugs and water bottle. It stretched easily but tightly over the tray and both the flight attendant and my seat mates complimented me on it. I plan to use it every time I fly. It would be perfect for children, too. Highly recommend it." —Sue G.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

It's also easy to clean, heat resistant, and will keep your counters and stove clean since your current go-to is placing your ladle on your nice clean countertop.
Promising reviews: "Love this. Keeps my counter clean and works great to prevent a mess. Many times we taste test as we cook so several spoons are used and this handles it well. Comes out of dishwasher perfectly. Great cooking asset." —Terri Linn
"Who knew something so simple could solve the problem of where to set the lid for the pot?! We already had a spoon rest, but this extra one comes in handy especially with the crockpot or when cooking several dishes." —Megan L Murphy-Boutwell
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.95 (available in four colors).

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! For more deets, check out our as-seen-on TV kitchen products write-up.
Promising review: "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. 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

29. A pack of four duster sponges because you're realizing in your 30s that your mother's dramatic reaction to dust is valid. Simply dampen one of these bad boys and it's good to go! And by good to go I mean it's ready to catch and remove dust, debris, hair, and stains around your place.
Promising review: "I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm, soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box, and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!" —Bryn
Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color combinations and three pack sizes).
30. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer with a sponge on the end because your 30s have your dark circles getting darker by the minute. You'll look well-rested and refreshed even on days that you...uh, aren't. Nobody will even be able to tell!
Promising review: "I personally like this product. Throughout high school (I recently graduated in June), I never knew how to do makeup. But then I heard this product was the absolute best on TikTok, and trust me, they were not lying. It has really good coverage and hides my 'raccoon eyes' and the beat part is that a little bit goes a long way. So if you’re starting out or want to try something new, I definitely recommend trying this out .<3" —Liela Lee

31. A three-piece drill brush cleaning kit you can attach to a drill for some serious scrubbin'. Danny Tanner would have a field day. Your 30-year-old back will thank you, your bathroom surfaces will sparkle, and you will be so thankful it took half the time it usually does.
The kit includes a 2-inch scrub brush, a 4-inch diameter flat brush, and a power scrubber brush. If you need a drill, here's a good Black & Decker one.
Drill Brush is a New York-based small biz.
Oh! And each color of the Drill Brush attachments corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is for a specific type of cleaning job (like the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Make sure to check the listing for which color is best for what you wanna clean.
Promising reviews: "So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'Heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." —A. givens
"My shower has never been this clean! I have tried so many scrubbers, been sore from trying to remove soap scum, and just left disappointed. This product was easy to use and cleaned dirt I didn’t even know was dirt in my shower!" —Amazon Customer

32. A Eufy robot vacuum so that your home can stay clean without, ya know, having to clean it. This thing is self-charging, quiet, and slim and works on a variety of surfaces, and you can control it with a little remote. Plus, reviewers are also lovin' it more than the costly Roomba. If you ever wanted Rosey the Robot from The Jetsons in your house, this'll satisfy that desire.
Promising review: "We owned two Roombas, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. After our oldest Roomba finally gave up, I decided to try the Eufy. I had been peeking around at this brand due to the reviews and pricing but also the slim profile. Our Roomba would constantly get wedged under furniture. It was also picky on what rugs it would vacuum. I received the Eufy and immediately liked that the filter was washable and had two outer brushes versus Roombas one brush. We charged her up and let her go. We were impressed at how quiet it was and that Eufy worked on all of our surfaces. We have a large home and it went through every room and cleaned each one great. We are done with Roomba. We are buying a second Eufy for our downstairs. This was a fantastic buy. We are absolutely sold on this vacuum." —Kimberly

33. A "Cup Claw," because every time you throw your bras in the laundry there are only two results. A, "wait, where the heck did the pads go?!" or B, "great, now the pads are so weirdly twisted up in my bra and are making my boobs look strange*. Anyone who wears a bra, let's send lots of kisses to the inventor who thought of this. 🙌 Pure GENIUS.
Cup Claw is a US-based, family-owned small biz that specializes in fashion tools.
This'll snag onto your loose bra cup like scissors so you can squeeze it back into that tiny little hole that it belongs in. Easy peasy! If you wanna see it in action, check it out on TikTok!
Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration, trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective, and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place I highly recommend this." —Wesley I.
