1. A pack of beauty sponges that have over 10,000 5-star ratings...and you get SIX of them for half the cost of a single Beauty Blender. Hello to your best beauty routine ever without breaking the bank.
Promising reviews:Â "If you got here because of TikTok then just go ahead and add to cart. These babies are so much softer than the Real Techniques sponges and in my opinion better at blending than Beauty Blender." âCassandre
"Saw this recommended from a TikTok makeup guru and never looked back. Was disappointed in the Beauty Blenderâs quality and price and finally decided to make the switch. This product blends so well and doesnât leave smudge strokes like how the Beauty Blender does. You get six sponges for the fraction of the price of a Beauty Blender! 5/5 would definitely recommend for the beauty babes!" âMichi Drinks Matcha

2. A super pretty luggage tag to add some panache and personality to your old suitcase â not to mention make it easier to spot at baggage claim.
Promising review: "I purchased these for a trip to Hawaii. I love the design and was primarily wanting them to differentiate my luggage from other travelers on the luggage belt. But little did I know they would be so much more effective in locating my luggage elsewhere. My connecting flight was delayed, and for some reason the airline left my luggage at the airport, while I went on to my destination in Hawaii, the luggage didn't follow. When I realized this, I alerted baggage claim and they had me fill out all the paperwork. The one question they had, is whether my luggage looked different than other dark colored mid sized pieces. Yes it did, it had these luggage tags on it, and that's what the luggage claims administrator put as the distinguishing feature. By that night, they had found my luggage and flown it from California to Hawaii on the next flight. I was relieved to have had these attached to my bags. I would highly recommend these for your luggage as well." âTX Divemaster

3. Fun and tropical flower hair claw clips you'll be using to complete every â and I do mean every â look this season. From sundresses to swimwear to your daily cropped tee and bike shorts combo, these are such a cute and trendy upgrade.
4. A cheerful ice-cream-cone-printed PJ top and shorts set so you can curl up on the couch and match your favorite late night snack (while looking like a snack, too).
5. Lillie's of Charleston mustard barbecue sauce, which you can also use as a dip, dressing, or marinade. And that's a good thing, since this sweet and tangy concoction is so darn delish, you won't want to eat anything that isn't slathered in it đ.
Lillie's of Charleston is a Black- and family-owned small business based in South Carolina. Their sauces and seasonings are inspired by the family's Sunday dinners at Aunt Lillie's house.Â
Promising review: "I grew up in Charleston, SC and this is by far the most authentic South Carolina Mustard BBQ Iâve been able to find. I highly recommend. A true taste of home delivered to my door in Phoenix!" âJenna Bowen

6. A rechargeable and dimmable light-up compact mirror, because you're not one to sacrifice glam even when you're on the go. You've got a perfectly lit vanity back at home â don't you deserve the same luxury when you're hastily reapplying lippie in the back of the Uber before happy hour?
Promising review: "Important travel necessity for your makeup bag. One of my favorite features is that itâs rechargeable. The battery lasts a long time and the light is substantially bright. The fact that it comes in one of my favorite colors is an added bonus. Itâs also reasonably priced. Iâve seen similar AAA-battery-operated mirrors that cost more. Itâs perfect for tweezing those stray hairs." âKisha

Promising reviews: "I got hooked on a little sample of the Milk Hydro Grip primer, but when I went to buy itâŚ..$36 for a relatively small bottle! I wanted to find a good alternative, so I bought this. It is PERFECT! Nearly identical formula. I have sensitive skin and this did not break me out. It really does help keep makeup on all day and makes your skin look smooth. I highly recommend this." âAllison
"Tried this for the first time today, Iâve always had trouble with my makeup staying on and looking fresh all day. I just used this for the first time. I did my makeup this morning, ran several errands and went to a festival in Atlanta where it was extremely hot and humid. I just got home and my makeup looks like I just did it. So impressed!" âTaylor Poulin

11. A shockingly affordable and roomy duffel bag that's incredibly lightweight and waterproof and, miraculously, meets the personal item standard of several popular budget airlines. A bag that saves you money and actually makes packing without checking a bag a breeze? It's the travel superhero we've all been waiting for.
Promising reviews: "I packed 14 DAYS worth of clothes into THIS BAG. First of all, YES it fits in the Frontier and Spirit personal item bin. I had my bag stuffed to the brim, and with a strong push down into the bin, the bag fully fits. Itâs very thin and moldable, which is beneficial for squeezing it into the bin. If the bag wasnât stuffed, Iâm sure it would fit into the bin without any resistance. But regardless, it worked perfectly and saved me SO much money by not buying a checked bag. I had a 14-day trip to Florida where it was very warm (so no winter clothes) and hereâs what fit into the bag: one pair of platform sandals, one pair of jeans, two pairs of lounge pants, three shorts, two workout shorts, three workout bras, four skirts, four tank tops, one dress, four long-sleeve shirts, a robe, six underwear, six pairs of socks, four bras, two bikinis, a medium-sized toiletry bag and a hair brush. I had laundry available where I was staying, but even if I hadnât, this bag probably wouldâve held enough to get me by. BUY THIS BAG if you want to save money on flights. Donât be alarmed if it doesnât seem like it will fit into the bin, as long as you brought majority soft and flexible items, just shove it into the bin and it will fit!!!" âNancy Hansford
"Miracle bag. This bag is awesome! It is unreal how much stuff fits in it...but still goes perfectly under the seat. I will be checking a lot less luggage in the future thanks to this cheap little bag. Highly recommend!" âJodi
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 43 styles).
12. A squee-worthy beet ambient light with a precious lil' face and a one-hour auto-shutoff feature that means he can't be ~beet~ as a desktop or bedside pal.

Promising review: "Pretty, comforting, and so, so cute. Great color. This Billie Beet is sweet and cheery in the off position and even more so when on! It emits a nice, warming glow â just for fun or to go to sleep to. I love its one-hour timer feature. Highly recommended, especially if you're already a fan of the Lil B Dumpling ambient light." âMT S.
Get it from Smoko or Urban Outfitters for $22.
13. A whimsical and satisfying rolling egg dispenser that'll be the coolest thing to hit your fridge since you brought home leftover Crumbl cookies. Say hello to easily being able to grab one egg at a time and buh-bye to bulky, ugly egg cartons crowding your fridge.
Check it out in this TikTok!
Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." âKaringan
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.Â
14. Waterproof Uno cards, aka a laminated version of the fan-fave game clipped together with a carabiner so your family can show the ~reverse card~ to the idea you'll have to pause your never-ending war...I mean, game...when you're on vacay.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jordan Grigsby says: "I was a camp counselor for years and I loved having these handy at the pool when any of the kids got hurt or didn't feel like being in the water. I'd give those kids these cards so they weren't just stuck at the pool, bored. I will warn you that they can get a little funky if they get wet, just like leaving a wet bathing suit out to dry. I suggest washing these with a little soap and water so that the smell doesn't make you gag."
Promising review: "I love this deck of cards! They can be washed and people can touch them with drink residue or whatever else is on their hands and it wonât ruin the cards. That was my motivation behind buying these and it was well worth it! It even comes with a backpack clip to hold the cards in place or for you to clip onto anything! The only complaint guests have is how slick they feel and they sometimes stick together but I donât mind it!" âShanice
Get them from Amazon for $10.99.
15. A tasteful temporary tattoo because you really envied the ones your little cousins got in their last birthday party goody bag. These are made for grown-ups and allow you to flirt with the look of real ink but require zero real commitment â or needles.
They're from a Netherlands-based small biz specializing in temporary tattoos that last from two days to a week.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord writes: "I am *obsessed* with these temporary tattoos â I waited for ages to get them, and I wish I'd done it much sooner, because I've had such a blast mix and matching them every week this summer! They transfer beautifully with warm water and look like legitimate tattoos (my neighbor truly thought I'd gotten some great ink), and are so easy and gentle to remove with a light scrub in the shower."
Get them from Tattoorary on Etsy: the vintage floral tattoo for $7.99, and the little birds tattoo for $2.99.
16. Or the temporary tattoo I can't believe I attended the Eras Tour without. Trying to find a skin-safe marker at the last minute or settling for smudge-tastic eyeliner to get that iconic 13 on your hand? I don't know her. Even if you aren't going (or have already been) to the show, you need this for the current Speak Now (TV) era we're living in.
This Charlotte, NC-based small biz makes super fun Swiftie and other pop culture goodies!
Promising review: "10/10 recommend these temporary tattoos. Application with a damp paper towel was easy and transferred with no problems or imperfections; even when applying the mini tattoo on my toddler who doesnât stand still longer than 10 seconds. The tattoos looked great and held up in hot weather the whole day. I noticed Swifties who free-handed their '13' tattoos had smudge messes before the concert even started. If youâre on the fence, BUY IT!!" âcfwells1

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. Itâs beyond cute and really great quality.
