1. A bottle of cuticle oil that will look pretty on your vanity, comes in tons of lovely scents to suit your fancy, and — oh yeah — is made with vitamin E and sunflower and safflower oils to truly keep the base of your nails looking and feeling their best. Buh-bye, cracks and peeling!
Promising review: "I have to admit I didn’t get all the fuss. After watching several videos on social media, I couldn’t imagine that cuticle oil would have any impact on my nails. I received a gift card and decided to give it a try since I recently started doing more DIY manicures. All I can say is WOW! This is an inexpensive luxury I wish I had given myself long ago. My nails and cuticles are so much healthier, and I’m completely converted. This bottle is huge and will last years (although it does have an expiration date on it — 2026!). I got the Milk and Honey scent, and it is subtle and lovely. I definitely recommend this stuff!" —Mom to Two
Get it from Amazon for $8.44+ (available in 12 scents, including a fragrance-free option, and four sizes).
2. Bestselling wireless Bluetooth earbuds ideal for anyone who wants the AirPods experience but without the AirPods price...or even just to have a great quality wireless headphone option they won't panic about losing on the subway. Some people even say these under-$30 picks are *better* than AirPods.
They are also waterproof and come in a rechargeable case! You can get up to 10 hours of play time with one charge.
Promising review: "I bought these based on price. I wasn't sure if I would like wireless headphones or if they'd stay in my ears and I didn't want to drop major $$$ until I knew for sure. I figured for that price, why not. This brand is awesome!!!! Sound quality is on par with my regular headphones, battery life is amazing and overall durability is great. They come with a bunch of different soft pads for the ear part so you can find the ones that fit you best and keep them in your ears well. I love these headphones. I dropped one once, it was in the driveway for three days and still worked perfectly when I found it. I ended up buying multiple pairs of these as stocking stuffers. Can beat these for the price. I've had no connection issues either. I can get about 100ft from the device it's connected to before it drops. If you're thinking about it, do it. You wont be sorry." —Crystal I.
Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors).
3. A sleek and aesthetically pleasing pet grooming brush that's also super functional — just press the button on the back to release the hair for easy cleaning! Because your fur baby may be messy, but they deserve the most pawsh grooming experience.
This Newport Beach, California-based small biz makes gorgeously minimal pet accessories. Check out this other brush style that kind of looks like a li'l kitty Dyson!
Promising review: "This cat comb is amazing! My cat loves it, too! :) Love the back button that pushes the hair to the front of the comb so its easier to get it out of the comb! Such a fine detail. :) Thank you so much!" —CrystallizingDreams
Get it from Modern Pets Living on Etsy for $11.99 (available in three colors).
4. A handy-dandy toilet seat handle so you and your family don't actually have to touch the nasty toilet seat to lift it up and down. It really is the small things that make life better...no more flushtration.
I'm sorry, that was a really crappy pun.
Promising review: "Love it! I’m so glad I found these. Wish I found them sooner. ... Now, I don’t worry about my boys touching the bottom of the toilet seat since they have this to lift it up. Double thumbs up!" —Brittany Smith
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.97.
5. Mighty Patch Face for anyone who has ever wished they could cover their entire face with goo-absorbing pimple patches. *Infomercial voice* well, now you can! This set is like a pimple patch face mask and comes with two cheek patches, a forehead patch, a nose strip, and a chin patch to suck out all the goo and stop breakouts in their tracks.
I recently used a whole set of these when I was having a relatively minor breakout (some visible zits on my chin and cheeks — which is about the most I get, as I'm not prone to allover breakouts). I popped them on overnight, and when I woke up in the morning, the pic on the right is what came off of my face!!! Some of the gooiest areas (like the sides of my nose) were places I didn't have visible pimples — the patches just sucked up the excess sebum (aka oil) produced by my face overnight — but it was still so satisfying to be able to *see* that gunk gone. I live for a gross skincare results moment, LOL. The set is definitely expensive since you only get one "mask" per box, but you probably don't need to use it super often — it's worth getting one or two to save for your biggest breakouts/that time of the month where your skin is super acne-prone. For that reason, I think this product is something it would def be worth using Subscribe & Save for! You can, of course, also break up the set, and I've done that in the past, too/probably will going forward — my face felt a bit hot in my sleep with the whole set sealed to my pores, so next time, I might treat my cheeks one night and my T-zone the next. If you're like me and your chin is your most breakout-prone spot, you can also get a pack of just the chin patches (ditto for the nose). TL;DR, these are worth it as an occasional skincare treat for those of you who love grossly satisfying results and/or if you're prone to allover face breakouts!
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (or $17.99 with the Subscribe & Save option).
6. And, for once you've drained your zits with the patches, the brand's Rescue Balm to help smooth, fade, and reduce flaking from healing, popped pimples. As the queen of acne scars with a bad habit of picking, I ordered this soooooo fast.
The reviewer above's results are after just five days!
Promising reviews: "I’ve only been using this for a few days now but within the first day it has cleared active acne that I’ve had for two years now. It’s made my discoloration almost completely go away. I don’t know what y’all put in this stuff but it’s magic." —Bella
"How did I not know that this magical little balm existed? Feels so good smoothing on broken out skin, very light weight and disappears into the skin. Does not tingle or burn at all, so of course I assumed it would do nothing. I was wrong! Instead of getting all crusty and peely, my breakouts improved greatly overnight and reduced greatly in size. By the next day they were far, far less noticeable. By the day after, they were basically healed. I continue to apply this to my breakout prone areas, and so far no new breakouts. Hallelujah! A little goes a long way so this little tube lasts a long time —a good value for the money. I am a convert!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (or $11.69 with the Subscribe & Save option).
7. A TikTok-famous floating pasta timer who goes by the name of Al Dente (LOL!) and who will sing a different melody (including the Godfather theme) seven, nine, and 11 minutes into cooking so you'll never overcook your noodles again. You'll actually want to cook (instead of getting takeout cacio e pepe) just so you can use him!
8. The cutest cherry toilet brush because it turns out, toilet brushes don't have to be just an unsightly necessity. ~Pit~ure this: a bathroom with all the essentials, but that actually feels whimsical — that's about to be your reality.
Chec out a review of this cutie on TikTok!
Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly!! Fits nicely into my bathroom decor. It was delivered in perfect condition and I've used it three times now. If you're thinking about buying this...do it!" —Michelle Maroon
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
9. Tgin Miracle Repair Mask, aka a deeply hydrating treatment for folks with curly hair. The paraben- and sulfate-free formula helps repair damaged strands and keep 'em moisturized, plus fights breakage and shedding.
Thank God It's Natural is a Black-owned, woman-owned small business based in Chicago, IL.
Promising review: "My scalp felt invigorated after applying. I left the masque on overnight and when I rinsed the next morning my scalp felt refreshed and clean. I actually think this product also aided in elongating my curls. Hair looks hydrated as well! I plan to use every two weeks." —Dawn M.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (or $14.39 with the Subscribe & Save option).
10. A suction cup pillow for the edge of your bathtub to make your self-care soak even more relaxing. Because IDK about you, but at least one bubble bath per weekend has become non-negotiable for me this winter.
Promising review: "This bath pillow is wonderful! I had the blow-up terry pillow and ditched it for this and I am so glad I did. This pillow is extremely comfortable and the best pillow I have ever tried. It looks as though it would attach easily to any tub. My tub is curved and there was no problem with it conforming to my tub. It stays put with no slippage. The suction cups hold very well. If you want to remove it, then I recommend peeling the suction cups away with your fingernail to prevent ripping the pillow. I recommend removing it and placing it on the side of the tub to air dry to prevent any mold from building up behind it. You will not be disappointed." —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $18.55+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
11. Sea Bands, aka knitted elastic wristbands with a magical li'l piece sewn inside targeted to hit the Neiguan acupressure point for nausea relief. Remember all those roadtrips and on-the-water events you had to bail on because of your motion sickness woes? Yup, I think you can go on those now.
Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising review: "Seabands make boating possible for me. Simple, easy to use, and reliable. I would say these are must for anyone who get motion sickness on sea or land." —Lauren
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.59.
12. An under-shelf stemware rack you can mount in a cabinet, above a counter, or on a bar cart for a space-saving hack that also looks ~high class~. I'll drink to that.
The two-row version can store six to eight glasses while the three-row version can fit nine to 12.
Promising review: "I've wanted to hang my wine glasses upside down for forever, but deplore having to use tools to install things on cabinets — it takes a lot of elbow grease, and doing it upside down is...a bad idea for me. When I discovered this little doodad, I was SO excited, and when I saw the price, I was over the moon! This holds six standard wine glasses, and does the job well!" —StephyG
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
13. A game-changing audio adapter that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter and will allow you to rock out or take calls over the speakers even if you have an older vehicle. This baby can play audio via Bluetooth, an aux cable, or a TF card, and even has a USB port and volume, play/pause, and song skip buttons.
Promising review: "The CD player on my 2002 Yukon isn't working anymore but it also doesn't have an aux port for music or Bluetooth. I got the unit and it instantly paired with my iPhone SE and in just a minute or so I was playing all the music from my phone through the radio in my car. It pairs automatically after the initial setup and the sound is really nice. If you play music while you have the GPS going, the music volume will go down when instructions are being given on where to turn, a nice touch! So far I am really pleased with the performance and now I can answer calls hands-free and listen to all my downloaded music!" —JRH
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six colors).
14. A TikTok-famous, octopus-shaped blackhead-removing stick, aka a gently exfoliating, sebum-absorbing pal who might actually make you *look forward* to having breakouts so you can, uh, break him out.
Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok, it works great so far." —MarMarManuel
"After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
15. A glam claw clip to upgrade your updo! Best believe this baby is still bejeweled and still strong enough to handle holding up your hair.
It's from Baublebar's super cute hair accessory line for Ulta!
Promising review: "This clip gives the perfect touch of sparkle to any outfit!! I don't have to readjust/reclip my hair with this a lot either — it stays put!" —Carol
Get it from Ulta for $16.
16. A satisfying batter scooper with a sliding plunger effect so your bakes can be less messy and so uniform in size, Paul and Prue wouldn't even be able to nitpick you about it. Since the sliding part pushes everything out (without drips!), you'll actually be able to use every last drop of your yummy batter.
It's dishwasher safe!
Promising reviews: "Saw a video of this product on TikTok and knew I had to get it for our kitchen! Makes it a breeze to fill muffin liners!!" —Amazon Customer

17. OMGworthy 3D-printed, wearable chopsticks so you can snack like a master — I'm talking no chip seasoning on your fingers, meaning your keyboard, gaming controller, or whatever you're multitasking on stays clean. These are the kinds of innovations you dreamt of as a child.
They're from a small biz based in Dallas.
Promising review: "I love these wearable chopsticks! No more having to wipe my hands off before using my mouse; I can just wear this. It's fun, convenient, and mess-free. Plus, it forces you to snack a little more slowly. I also love the color I got, and it seems durable for the price." —Sara K
Get it from Ridha 3D Printing on Etsy for $4.90+ (available in 23 colors and two styles).
18. Washable, reusable, and — *gasp* — actually cute pet pee pads no one (besides your pooch) will suspect are in fact pee pads. Here's to having a new puppy and actually keeping your house looking somewhat presentable.
Promising review: "Potty training is hard, and even harder with small dogs. My Cavapoo took right to the pee pad mat and even looks for it now when she has to make a potty. I was shocked how fast she adjusted to it. I was also surprised that when she used it to pee, I could hardly smell her pee. When I used the disposables, holy cow, my room smelled terrible." —Red
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five designs).
19. Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game, aka a bestselling toy you and your kids will have a blast (fart pun sort of intended?) playing hide and seek with. You just hide the rainbow poop emoji pal, then search for him with your kiddos, meaning no one actually has to try to hide in uncomfy spots around the house to play.
Check out a TikTok of the Silly Poopy game.
Promising review: "Let me tell you that if you want hours of endless fun of hide and go seek without having to hide yourself, this is a must get! When it's hidden it makes various toot noises and says stuff so the kids know if they are close. And when they find it and press the button to do and sing the silly poopy dance ... even you will dance and sing along!!! Doesn't need batteries and come on, it's poop? Who doesn't think poop and toot noises are funny and if they don't they are lying to themselves. A must-have for fun with your kids without barely doing any work!!" —andrea kelli gorman
Get it from Amazon for $20.38.
20. A pair of flexible vent-cleaning brushes so you can clean all those crannies you know need your attention, but you've been procrastinating dealing with. Built-up lint in your dryer vents especially can be a safety hazard, but these will make the chore a breeze.
21. Fun light saber chopsticks to ensure no lunch will ever be a sad desk lunch ever again. You're an adult, so you actually are allowed to play with your food. And with these babies, no one would have the heart to ~force~ you to stop, anyway.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these. She writes: "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger than I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully, that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony
Get them from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in two styles).
22. A trendy green and purple adjustable ring duo, because I'm constantly getting compliments on my mismatched, personal combo of everyday rings, and I think stacking on two or three baubles on each hand (even if they're super cheap!) is one of the easiest and most fabulous ways to upgrade your style.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes, only one of which is under $25).
24. A pooping pug toothpaste topper sure to ~crap~ you up every time you tend to your pearly whites. He comes with four cap attachments to make sure he fits your go-to brand of toothpaste, and he's just generally ready to squirt a little extra humor into your life 😀.
It's from a Raleigh, North Carolina-based Etsy shop.
Promising review: "This is hilarious! We (obviously) have a pug, and he loves to follow his dad everywhere! Now, my husband can think about Frank the pug every time he brushes his teeth! Bwahahahaha!!!!" —Mollie Phillips
Get it from SnowBloom3D on Etsy for $12.99+ (available in three styles).
25. A Fur-Zoff pet hair remover, which may *look* to the audience (you) like a regular stone, but BEHOLD — it can actually get your surfaces clear of your fur baby's epic shedding like never before. Actually being able to sit on your couch in black pants? Now that's a life upgrade.
Promising review: "Holy cow, this is magic. I have a 230-pound mastiff. I have purchased any and everything claiming to get dog hair off car carpet. I have used at least three different vacuums and attachments. Lately, I have been using a microfiber towel because it had some grip. Then this piece of magic arrived. It gets every single hair no matter how embedded. There were hairs I had a hard time removing with my fingers. The Fur-Zoff pulled them right out. This has reduced my hair removal time in half!" —david r
Get it from Amazon for $11.08.
26. A cool, antimicrobial toothbrush with super-duper thin "flossing bristles" designed to get into the trickiest grooves of your teeth (ya know, where you've had a little bit of popcorn stuck since you strung last year's Christmas garlands).
Mouthwatchers is a dentist-founded small business specializing in upgraded toothbrushes. While these can't be a full substitute for flossing, they're helpful if you don't floss as much as you should (I feel you). As always, your dentist will have the best advice on the routine that's best for you!
Promising review: "Seriously! I love this toothbrush, it’s the best one out there. I’ve tried all different kinds — I’m always looking for the next best one, but this is it for me. I feel like this manual brush would give any electric one a run for its money. Just buy it! You won’t be disappointed!" —Sarah T.
Get an extra-soft version from Amazon for $5.49 (available in three colors and in more styles and quantities here).
27. An absolutely iconic, reversible Harry Styles dishwasher magnet for anyone who ever doubted a dishwasher magnet could be sexy. Now, while your washer is scrubbing the ~watermelon sugar~ off your breakfast plate, you can be daydreaming about that music video. ... You might even look forward to doing dishes now, so nothing will ever be the same 🎶 as it was 🎶.
