Promising review: "We have been behind the curve on babyproofing and bought a big pack of the plastic two-prong outlet covers. My kiddo is determined to stick anything and everything he can into outlets and wants so badly to peel the individual outlet covers off. I bought a four-pack of these covers and they are AMAZING! They're easy to install (just don't forget the little plastic spacer between the actual bare outlet and the back of the cover) and SO MUCH BETTER than the cheap plastic covers. For the outlets that were the kiddo's 'favorites' to try to bust into, these are SO GOOD. The amount of force needed to slide the plate over to use is more than a toddler can muster, but not hard for an adult. It's very easy to plug things in, and take them out, but the baby doesn't even mess with these outlets anymore because the thrill of death is beyond his tiny finger strength. Installing a few of these in high kid-traffic areas has been WELL worth it! Thanks for a great product." —Katie Ackerman

Promising review: "I like everything about this product. It is perfect for me. I had been using the Marie Kondo method for all my pants and leggings for two years. This saves more space and makes my closet look less cluttered. I hung all my thinner pants and leggings under my blouses. Easy to select. I am definitely happier. I gave away the plastic chest of drawers I had in the closet." —Sylvia

This has saved my little life this winter!! I was initially drawn to it because my husband and I both sleep hot, so until recently we had only used the cooling feature. It's wild how well this pad keeps you cool (especially because you can still keep a blanket on over you – for monster reasons). But our heat has been finicky this winter and the heating settings have truly kept us, and our hairless cats, from freezing at night. I. Love. This. Thing.
BTW, this includes a reversible, hydro-powered Chili Cool Mesh™ Pad, thermal regulating control units, and a remote. The system uses hydropower and operates within 55-115 degrees F. You can also get the Ooler app to control the bed's temperature from your phone.
Promising review: "This has been a game changer for me. Hot flashes and night sweats are gone and my sleep is much improved. I highly recommend this product." —Jenny D.
Get it from ChiliSleep for $499+ (available in two styles and three sizes).
Promising review: "I love this product. My bathroom drawer looks so organized now that my bobby pins aren’t all over the place. I loved that it came with bobby pins which I had no idea would be included! It's nice to also have some new bobby pins!" —Monica

Each bag holds up to 50 pounds and has an extra pocket.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I've been looking for. It fits all the shopping carts and you can detach them and take only one to tow all of the bags if you are shopping for smaller quantities. I've been using these for a few days now and I love it. I used to have a bunch of different bags in my trunk and it was very messy. With Lotus Bags, I can finally get rid of all the other bags and have these sitting nice and pretty in the trunk. The cooler bag is especially awesome to keep the items cool while shopping to transporting them home. The bags look very well made and sturdy." —JJ

One of my BuzzFeed coworkers wrote a review about how this clock is basically like giving the gift of sleep to parents with young children.
Promising review: "We've had this clock for four years and it's still going strong. You can adjust the amount of time the green light stays on. You MUST wait until the green light comes on to enter the room or it won't work! If your child comes out before it's on, take them back to bed and walk out. We get them used to it (now with child #3, 9 months old) by telling them before closing the door at night 'Wait for your green alien to wake up!' It's a good last minute reminder. The only thing I'd change is that the dimmest light setting is still a bit bright for my light sleepers, so I have to lay a burp rag or something over the back to make it dimmer. I'm considering buying a second so the older kids can have theirs back!" —Lauren

Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte Cosmetics for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like crazy and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E. Miller
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
These also work great with hot foods, i.e. they won't get too hot when hanging out in a steaming bowl of broth.
Promising review: "This is a quality set of chopsticks! The fiberglass is heavier than standard wood ones (obviously), but they are still easy to use. They don't feel that heavy in the hand. The tips are textured slightly for a better grip on food; this is really great with noodles. The top has a pretty design. I haven't had them very long, but they seem durable and relatively scratch resistant. They clean easily with soap and warm water (they're also dishwasher-friendly). I was looking for an affordable, re-useable set and originally considering stainless steel ones. But based on a number of reviews stating that the material on some wasn't true stainless steel, or they're too heavy, or they get too hot if left in a bowl, I ultimately went with this set. I'm very glad I did!" —nhcabin

Promising review: "Looking for comfort? This is it! It's the most comfortable bra ever. I love the racer back option in the back as well." —Bernadette F.
Get it from Lively for $35 (available in three colors and sizes 32A–34DD).
This comes with a lavender essential oil.
Promising review: "I’m very particular when it comes to scent so I’m picky about choosing products for my house and car. I’ve always used car air fresheners but was looking for an alternative that wouldn’t give me a headache with an overpowering chemical scent for my long commutes. This oil diffuser is a great alternative to other generic brands. The scent of lavender essential oil is lush, soothing but not overpowering which is great for de-stressing during my commutes. You can also place it on top of your work desk for a subtle and soothing aroma. The diffuser came in high-quality packaging with two petite reeds sticks. Highly recommend it!" —Eric H.

This includes a ventilated case for storage.
Promising review: "OK, this is DEFINITELY not a gimmick! Follow the instructions and this will save you time and sanity in the kitchen! Roll it with minimal pressure and it works like a champ. It also rinses very easily and dries quick. The case has holes on either end to ensure it dries completely in between uses when you toss it in a drawer. I will never hand/knife smash garlic and fight with those pesky skins sticking to everything ever again." —ThatKasper
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
It's heat-resistant up to 600 degrees and designed with an ergonomic handle, stiff nylon core, and flexible angled head for easy stirring. You can also get a blender spatula, jar scraper, and assorted sizes of spoons from the same link.
Promising review: "I use this for EVERYTHING! Not just for scraping jars, but getting every last bit out of the protein powder, for scraping down the sides of batter bowls, for mixing soups and stews while cooking, even as a spoon for testing. I now have three of these (in different colors) so I'll always have one at the ready." —Paul J DeSimone
Get it from Amazon for $9 (available in four colors).
These have saved many a bowl of leftovers in my place. I don't have space for lot of containers, so I was constantly using plastic wrap or plastic bags when I wanted to save food. It was an awful waste. These saved the day! They pack flat and the sizes fit on any container (even if I just leave my leftovers in the bowl I ate dinner in). I'm a sucker for this stuff.
Promising review: "These are super cute. I love the colors and they work great. The array of sizes they came in is also very handy. In fact, these are so much cuter than the other options available online that my friends decided to get the same set. If you took the time to google other silicone lids your eyes will burn. For my purposes these are perfect. Highly recommend." —DemiChang
Get them from Food52 for $40 (available in two colors).
I started using Fab Slab cutting boards when I invested in my first really nice knife block set. I wanted a cutting board that would protect the integrity of my knives, and was hoping to find some that also looked nice (my millennial heart loves some good charcuterie) on display. These were the perfect pick! Be sure to check out their site to see their full collection of cutting boards.

I own this pan and I'm pretty sure I'll never need to own another ever again. The spoon rest is genius, cleaning is a cinch, and it cooks all my ambitious Pinterest attempts perfectly. I'm not the only one who loves it here! Read my BuzzFeed coworker's full review to learn even more about this lovely kitchen staple (#1).
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! It is so versatile and easy to clean. It's not overwhelmingly big but it handles one pot meals like a champ. I am blown away." —Aileen R.
Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in five colors).
Promising review: "This is the perfect trash receptacle for a modern kitchen. I like that it is not electric, so you never have to worry about changing a battery or having the lifting mechanism wear out. It's easy to use if you have wet hands because you can step on the foot pedal and it lifts easily. It's a classy addition to any kitchen and keeps smells contained. I highly recommend this trash container!" —bearyhot
Get it from Amazon for $88.88+ (available in ten styles).
Promising review: "I love this and so does my cat. It's such a great looking design and looks great on my wall. My only criticism is the dome was a little tricky to screw onto the main part. It isn't complicated its just a little awkward. Apart from that this cat bed/spaceship is awesome!" —Tom B
Get it from Amazon for $140 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "This is like sleeping on a marshmallow cloud. It's hands down the best pillow I’ve ever owned. The mid-plush has a softness that almost feels like memory foam but not nearly as hot. I love these things!!" —Ryan A.
Get it from Brooklinen for $69+ (available in two sizes and three fills).
Promising review: "Beautiful, highly recommend! You can set it to mist for one, three, or six hours and can use with lights or without lights. Great quality, comes with cute water measuring cup. I use this in my home office. Contemporary marble look design goes with any decor!" —Mindy R
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "The shipping was fast and these have an awesome taste. I've tried tons of kombucha but often hate how much space the bottles take up in my fridge — enter Qula! What a great idea to have kombucha whenever I want without a bunch of glass bottle waste! These are delicious and convenient." —vics
Get it from Amazon for $15.
Promising review: "I saw Bobby Flay use this and I wanted to make something I saw on his show. It's so powerful and won't ever scratch any dish you use! It's well made and will last, just like my 25-year-old blender!! Top shelf! I always purchase top of the line appliances and Vitamix is the best. This is easy to use, is versatile, and powerful. It's now more convenient to make food and beverages." —Chris65

This is the very first coffee machine I've had in my home (I figured it was time to make a break room in my apartment, since my husband and I weren't taking nearly enough breaks to chat by the water cooler). I wanted something that was more eco-friendly than traditional K-Cup pod machines, but didn't need a whole pot of coffee in the mornings. This machine is intuitive, easy to clean, and makes a boast-worthy brew. I think it's 100% worth the splurge for earth-conscious coffee drinkers.
Get it on sale from Tchibo for $349 (originally $399; purchase includes two bags of whole bean Röst Frisch coffee).
Promising review: "Before getting this device, although I have a very strict skincare routine, I really didn’t exfoliate often enough. Now being able to gently exfoliate whilst I cleanse morning and night is so great, especially as I have been able to add this into my skincare routine without any additional time! I have super sensitive skin which gets red very easily but this device is gentle enough for me on the middle speed setting (or even higher) with no irritation. You can play around with different levels of vibration, which is great, and I find the highest level is great for massaging the forehead (also try the back for this area) and it's really relaxing!! I’ve had mine for a few weeks already and it still hasn’t run out of charge yet, so will be great for travel! Important to note that I did follow the instructions to charge mine as soon as I received it. Plus the super cute pink color looks so nice in my bathroom!" —Sophie

Promising review: "I got these for my mom and she loves them! They are great conversation pieces, and fun to use. The wine fans out and falls into the glass as pictured. She runs them through the dishwasher and hasn't had any issues cleaning them that way. These are fun for wine drinkers." —Kaitlyn G.

This 12-pack of food-grade silicone cups are safe to use in the freezer, microwave, and oven. They can handle temperatures of up to 500 degrees and come in pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Promising review: "These little thingies are perfect! I made some muffins with them and they came out incredibly easily with no residue on the cups at all. I didn't have to use grease or anything. The colors are bright and fun, and they you plenty of each color. These are slightly smaller than a regular cupcake pan/liner, which is actually perfect for my purposes. As others have mentioned, the cups are a bit on the flimsy side, so make sure they're on a baking sheet before you fill them because they can be difficult to transport once full." —kapplejack
Get them from Amazon for $7.99.
Promising Review: "Can I just say where have you been all my life? I ordered this specifically so I could use to make sugar cookies. It made my cookies go so much faster for a change! I used to get out a ruler trying to figure out if I had the right thickness or if the dough was rolled even enough (which I never did get right in the past). This roller allowed to me quickly and easily roll the whole batch of sugar cookies without getting frustrated! Super easy to use and clean up was also a snap. Would recommend this to any baker out there!" —LAD
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles).
Promising review: "This product is wonderful. I would buy it for every coffee lover in my life. You can mix and match flavors of coffee for a unique taste every refill. This product is meant to sit in the fridge (it's a cold brew!). My fridge isn't huge by any means but, while the coffee pot sits in the fridge, it never seems to be in my way! The coffee comes out delicious every time. It's very easy to use and easy to clean. I can't imagine a morning without a cold cup of this brew!" —Brooklyn
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $200.
I have this set! If you grow fatigued with traditional "floral fresh" soap scents, this is *such* a great set to try out! The lotion is a nice citrus and the soap is a musky botanical mix that I will honestly be buying forever more. The entire set is gorgeous (I actually have it all on display on my bathroom caddy because I'm a sucker for amber bottles) and the quality is obvious.

Get it from Bed Bath & Beyond for $49.99.
Promising review: "I am completely satisfied with this purchase! The mat itself is heavier than others I have seen and it does not slide around. It is also dishwasher safe which makes my life easier. I like the fact that there is a built in bowl because that also means I'm not cleaning a bowl and plate. The suction prevents the mats from sliding, it does not prevent anyone from peeling it off the table. Yes, my two year old does this occasionally but it isn't the placemat's fault." —Jennifer Heinrich
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in four colors).
This is dishwasher safe and BPA free.
Promising review: "This thing is terrific! I used 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels, set for three and a half minutes. There were ONLY TWO unpopped kernels when I finished eating the popcorn. I have never seen such efficiency in any product in the last 40 years. If I didn't see it myself I would not believe it." —Gringras

This six-pod kit includes Genovese basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil and mint, with a bottle of plant food. It works thanks to its energy-efficient LED lights (that automatically turn on and off every day, no need to deal with them yourself). It grows up to six plants at a time, that can grow up to 12 inches. The plants grow in water, not soil, so there's not even a mess.
Promising review: "I have a black thumb, which I think is important to add to this review. I planted everything photographed Jan. 3, 2019 and I took this photo this morning (Feb. 5, 2019; above left). It takes care of itself and the plants grow a little bit more each day. It's the most exciting part of my morning routine — while my coffee brews I admire my plants!" —Kristy Campbell

Learn all about why this is the best blow-dryer you can buy in one BuzzFeeder's review. It's also our top pick for hairdryers in BuzzFeed Reviews.
Promising review: "I have been eyeing the Dyson Blow-Dryer for a while. I knew it was expensive, but I was still determined to gift it to myself. So far, I have only used the diffuser to dry my curls and nozzle blow cold air into my scalp. The diffuser is an excellent tool. The lowest heat option is sufficiently hot enough that I’m able to dry my hair after styling it (soaked and wet) in under 20 minutes. I have 3C, bra length hair, medium thickness. It took 30-40 minutes with my previous dryer with a diffuser attachment, but it never dried my roots fully. I’m very impressed with the heat, strength, and effectiveness. This is my holy grail." —Anonymous

Promising review: "This chair exceeded my high expectations for comfort, utility, and adaptability to my spinal and gluteal requirements...as in keeping my back properly postured and my butt comfortably positioned. The price is still reasonable, consistent with its sturdy composition and its many adjustability features.

Promising review: "For a lifelong sufferer of miserable Restless Leg Syndrome, this is nothing short of a miracle! I was skeptical that the pod could help me, since nothing else has ever helped me, but I think since the pod contains my thrashing movements, I’m not waking myself up over and over at night. My dreams are typically very vivid and I usually don’t feel like I had a chance to turn my mind off and disconnect. I think I am getting more REM sleep with the pod because I haven’t remembered my dreams these past four nights. Also, I run hot so it’s a pleasant surprise that the pod truly is breathable and not sweaty." —Jennifer C

Promising review: "I've had regular leather wallets for over 20 years. This is a huge improvement. I've only had mine for a few weeks and I'm already as fast at checkout as I was before. My slacks and jeans are now much more comfortable! This thing is solidly built, slim as advertised, and has never yet become a nuisance. For me, it has been an authentic life hack." —Duh?
Get it from Amazon for $75 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it because I needed to be more conscious of how much water I’m consuming since I don’t drink a lot of water. Also, I get distracted often and find myself not drinking anything throughout the day. This takes that away. It lights up when I haven’t had water in a while and it calculates the amount of water I’m consuming. I’m also able to set a goal and follow up throughout the week. Now, I’m drinking the amount of water I need to be and I couldn’t be happy. I ordered the ORANGE but it’s more of a coral color in my opinion, it can be confused as pink." —MadameAria
