1. A set of Wad-Free pads, which make sure your sheets dry the first time, instead of wadding themselves (and whatever else is in the load) into a wrinkly, wet ball that you have to somehow untangle before sending everything through the dryer again.
Promising review: "Skeptical, but then after the TikTok video it was featured in, I had to try it. Definitely can see how it keeps the sheets actually separated and wad-free. Nice the know the sheets are getting clean. Thanks!" —Leia S.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.
Wad-Free is a small business founded by Cyndi Bray, who taught herself how to use a computer design program to create the first set of these pads. And yes, you did see her on Shark Tank!
2. A no-scrub, "set and forget" weekly shower cleaner because it only requires a few spritzes in bathtub/shower situations, plus a quick rinse the next day (8-12 hours later), to totally block that tedious buildup on your glass-enclosed shower from reappearing! Especially when you combine its powers with your favorite squeegee. It also banishes soap scum, oils, mold, mildew, and other dirt and grime!
Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+.
3. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because you'll see a difference basically immediately after one use, and if you keep going with it on a regular basis, it can brighten away years of coffee, tea, wine, and soda stains. Oh and it's painless — you shouldn't have to suffer through stinging gum pains to get whiter teeth at home.
After brushing and flossing, you paint your teeth with the pen (each pen contains about 20 uses), wait for 30 minutes, then rinse!
Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market but this one was super easy and didn’t hurt my teeth at all and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" —Victoria Bravo
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.96.
4. A pet hair remover that you simply brush over any fabric surface to instantly pick up basically every last bit of shedding your furry friend's always leaving in their wake. Because it doesn't rely on adhesive paper, you only have to buy it once and use it forever!
I used this a BUNCH in 2020, while living with my boyfriend at his parents (for various pandemic-related reasons) and their two sweet but shed-prone dogs. So I can tell you with resounding certainty: it works! Give it some simple back-and-forth swipes over your upholstered furniture, and it easily picks up TONS of pet hair. Then it's simple to pop open the back compartment and swoop that unbelievably big pile of collected hair right into the trash or compost.
Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy this, and it is money well spent!! I’m convinced that my beagle sheds a full coat of hair and regrows it daily! I use this on my bed every single day and it blows my mind how well it works. Before this I was going through 4–5 disposable sticky rollers a month and spending 3x longer to remove dog hair. I am buying these for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts this year! ❤️" —tiff4short
"This is awesome!! I just went back and bought two more…I’ve had one for years and it is the best thing to get cat hair off the furniture, clothes, blankets,etc.! I would give this 10 stars if I could!" —Donna LePera
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
5. Some Elizavecca Hair Treatment, which one reviewer says is similar to Olaplex, meaning it can help make your hair softer and more manageable, especially if it's been damaged by bleach, heat, or dye. Swap for conditioner once a week, let it soak into your hair for five minutes, and rinse to see noticeable results!
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "I have tried everything on the market to fix my damaged, bleached hair that keeps breaking off. I stumbled across this hair treatment on TikTok. I had never heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I used it for the first time yesterday and I couldn't believe how amazing it made my hair feel and look. It's sooo soft, shiny, bouncy and nourished. My bleached rat's nest now looks and feels like hair again. Even my boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my hair. I’m going to buy a lot more of this product. I’ve been really frustrated about my hair for years now because of all the damage. Now I can finally relax and enjoy my new hair." —Eline
Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment!
Get a bottle from Amazon for $6.68.
6. Some wireless Bluetooth earbuds that clock in at under $30 *and* happen to be similar to AirPods (according to some reviewers) AS WELL as waterproof, meaning you can shower with 'em and listen to whatever music you want without bothering your partner/roommates. Over 223,000 people have rated these five stars — that's like, approximately the population of Richmond, Virginia or Spokane, Washington — so you know they're good.
The earbuds can play four-plus hours with a charge, and the wireless charging case can provide up to 14 hours of charge.
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold
Get it from Amazon $24.99+ (available in two styles and five colors).
7. A set of kid-safe plastic knives so your eager toddler or young kiddo can help you chop all kinds of veggies. With time and practice, that *might* even help you get dinner on the table faster! The serrated blades make it easy for them to cut slices, but aren't sharp enough to cut skin.
Watch this TikTok to see a kid use this to impressively slice some green peppers.
Of course, children should still be supervised while using these knives!
Promising reviews: "My daughter loves these. I saw these on TikTok then ordered them for my little kitchen helper. We cut up all types of veggies with no problem." —Maia
"I’ve only had these for a couple of days, but already my 4-year-old daughter keeps asking me for things to chop up. They’re perfect for the little chef in your life or the kid who want to be a big helper. So far she’s easily (and safely) chopped up: lettuce, apples, bananas, strawberries, potatoes, even carrots! I can run my hand along the blade and not cut myself and yet it’s designed in a way that you can still chop through veggies and fruits. Another pro is they are super easy to clean and dishwasher safe. They came exactly as pictures for me: in three different sizes and colors, with a slight grip texture on the handle for little hands. They’re nice and lightweight as well so it’s not cumbersome for younger kids. Love them!" —Abby Roeller
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.95 (available in two color combinations).
8. An aesthetically-pleasing, lightweight, and leak-proof time-marked water bottle — yes it's elegant, but it's those motivational time markings that make it really clever. The minimalist frosted look and shiny lid will spark joy every time you look at it, and after a week of twice-daily fills, you'll feel more hydrated than ever before!
It also comes in a sleek black and a muted rose color.
Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and thought it would be a great bottle for work. It is very sleek and lightweight enough to carry when you have other items in your hand. I love the modern look and cleans very easily! The time increments really do motivate, definitely ordering again for myself and gifts. Fast delivery and very nice packaging." —Rosa
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
9. The cult- (and BuzzFeed editor-) favorite Essence Lash Princess mascara, because while there's nothing especially smart about mascara, there is something smart about buying a mascara that gives you results like these at a price like this. It's sweatproof, endows you with immediate length (no falsies in sight here), and is less expensive than your favorite coffeeshop drink.
My colleagues Kayla Boyd and Emma Lord *love* this stuff!
Kayla says: "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. It uses a conic shape fiber brush to help the mascara apply evenly without getting too clumpy. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes, without the discomfort." Read her full Essence Lash Princess Mascara review for more!
Emma says: "Hello, that is my face above (I'm the blonde), because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the livelong day no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time."
Promising review: "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5 you couldn’t ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." —Kd
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
10. A veggie chopper to slice and dice onions, celery, and even tomatoes in a matter of seconds. One of the keys to tasty dinners is fresh ingredients, and this'll significantly cut the amount of time and effort you spend to prep them. *Phew*!
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 $19.99+ (available in five styles and three colors).
11. Some stain-removing pads that'll soak up all kinds of (wet or dry!) stains from your carpet without you having to do anything but place them over the stain and stomp on them! They're originally made for pet stains, but reviewers swear by them for red wine, coffee, blood, dirt, and even some mystery stains.
Check out a TikTok of the pads in action.
Promising review: "OMG I am SO HAPPY that they are making these again. They are the absolute best. Nothing comes close! I even called and wrote to Bissell twice when they discontinued this item asking them to bring it back. Then I bought all I could from Amazon and on eBay. Now they are back! I have an older dog who sometimes has accidents and NOTHING works as well and as easily as these. Some people say they are small but I say they are perfect! In fact, because they are relatively expensive, I cut these into small pieces and use just what I need. If you rub the pad into the carpet it will completely remove the stain. Stomp on it and leave it there. The stain will be gone. I seal the bag with a bulldog clip to keep the remaining pads moist." —kscoco
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48.
12. The guided journal Burn After Writing, which contains prompts and thought experiments to help you stop focusing so much on your screen and instead consider your truest thoughts and feelings around your memories, your present life, and your future. That self-reflection and self-expression will help you get to know yourself a little better, which is both beautiful and meaningful.
Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm
Get it from Amazon for $7.32.
13. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer — it's lightweight, helps reduce the appearance of pores, and has a velvety texture that'll help your foundation glide over your skin flawlessly. And hey, it's cruelty-free and vegan!
It's sold out frequently thanks to TikTok, so if you want this, it's probably best to grab it while it's in stock!
Promising review: "Highly recommend. Learned about it as several influencers used it on TikTok. Tried it and it’s my favorite. Better than all the expensive brands I had tried before. Smooth application and does an excellent job! Excellent." —Binnyx1
Get it from Amazon for $10.
14. An ADORABLE whale bath toy that honestly delights me as much as it might delight a kiddo! Like, yes it's just a toy, but also, the moment you set it in the bath, it'll light up and start spouting water, which several reviewers say is nice and soothing.
Promising reviews: "TikTok made me do it. My daughter loves this! It stops spraying water as soon as it is no longer in the water. It's very calming. I've even stolen it for my own baths." —Lauren Trifone
"Worth every penny! My little one loves bath time, and this makes it even more fun! The water spout is awesome and gets taller the longer it sits in the water. The lights are an extra bonus! If you're thinking about buying — do it! Your little one will love this." —Ahliilai
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors).
15. A pack of Keurig cleaner pods you can pop into your Keurig coffee machine and "brew" exactly the same way you make a regular K-Cup. Then you'll have a cleaner coffee maker (as in, way less oily residue and stuck-on grounds) in less than, like, three minutes.
Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in 12- and 18-packs).
16. Some nail and cuticle conditioning oil to help moisturize your cuticles and promote stronger nails over time — just brush on the top and underside of your nails once a day and let it soak in. Having a little nail care ritual like this could even help you stop picking at your nails if they're peeling!
Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I am not kidding you, this is my first Amazon review ever. Just a few weeks ago my nails were brittle and peeling, I always had my nails done and they were pretty much destroyed… then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you’re thinking about buying this… buy it!" —Jocelyn Nackley
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
17. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner so you have an immediate solution anytime something gets spilled or a pet makes a mess on your carpet, couch, rug, car seat, or mattress. Even if you don't have spills to clean, you'll be astounded at how much disgusting grime it'll suck up from your furniture!
Promising reviews: "I've had this machine for almost 3 years now and I can honestly say I love it. I've used this to shampoo my couch monthly, as well as spot cleaning pet messes on the carpet and cleaning my car floor mats. Despite using this regularly to clean my couch, the water always comes out a murky brown, not sure how my couch gets to be so dirty but I'm glad to see all the dirt and grime getting extracted effectively. Afterwards, all I have to do is rinse the two tanks and leave to dry overnight, then it's ready for use again. Definitely recommended for those wanting a simple, lightweight upholstery cleaner." —Sara
"This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina
Get it from Amazon for $98.
18. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers you'll feel smart for buying because reviewers say they're similar to Lululemon Align Joggers. You'll find yourself wearing them for errands, exercise, and just around the house because they're *that* comfy, *that* cute, and *that* good!
Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and 19 colors).
19. Some bestselling BYO Blush Oil because it turns a custom color for you based on the pH of your skin, so your everyday look is completely personalized, no trying-lots-of-blush-shades required. Simply apply two dots to your cheeks, blend, and marvel at how easy it was!
All of this brand's makeup is formulated so it won't harm your skin for you to sleep in it, something I needed and would have loved in college!!
Check out a TikTok of the BYO Blush to see how it works.
My colleague Emma Lord has this and says: "I tried this out myself and I have to say, it is WILD watching it adjust to your skin's pH in real time. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread — a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long lasting, too — I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day."
Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer
Get it from Youthforia for $36 or Amazon for $36.
Youthforia, an Asian woman-owned small business, was founded in 2020 and makes cruelty-free, environmentally-friendly makeup — at least 90% of each product's ingredients are renewable.
20. A foaming garbage disposal cleaning tab that you simply drop in, run a little water, then let its fizz reach down into the depths of your disposer for you, ridding it of any built-up slime and grossness.
Note that these won't declog your disposal, only clean it out if it's functioning properly. If it's clogged, you'll need to call a plumber.
Promising review: "I don't know what it is about these, but putting one down my sink and watching the foamy bubbles come up is SO satisfying. Really scratches an itch that I didn't even realize I had. I read about these in some article about popular products on TikTok and wanted to try them because my garbage disposal had not been smelling super lately. They did not disappoint! Super easy to use and leaves the disposal smelling fresh." —Liz R.
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.
21. A Whiskware pancake batter mixer — it has a wire BlenderBall whisk on the inside so you can pour your ingredients directly into the bottle, screw the top on, shake until everything's mixed together, then squeeze the batter out from the spout! You'll get your pancakes faster, have fewer dishes to wash, and it'll even be easier to make those Mickey pancakes your kids love so much.
Watch a TikTok of a mom showing how easy it is to use! It also makes it simple to have freshly-made pancakes on weekdays: make the batter ahead of time (or just use your weekend leftovers), store it in the fridge overnight, then cook as many as you need in the morning. And yes, all the parts are top-rack dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "My 8-year-old is a huge fan of making pancakes. He saw this on TikTok and just had to have it. We absolutely love this product!! Easy to clean and use. I love that it’s an all-in-one. No more messy bowls, and he can squeeze out the perfect amount for his pancakes." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.40+ (also available as a pancake art kit).
22. Some Crayola Globbles, aka colorful, residue-free sticky globs good for chucking at the wall for pure entertainments sake (your kids are going to love them) or even fidgeting with as you think through a problem in your grown-up job.
One mom on TikTok talks about why they're her "new favorite thing ever".
Promising review: "My 15-year-old asked for these after seeing them on TikTok. I got them as a stocking stuffer thinking they’d be tossed aside. Unbelievably he and his 17-year-old brother have spent time laying in the floor, tossing them up to the ceiling, and waiting for them to fall so they can catch them. I never expected them to get this much use. Bonus is they’re off their phones and in the family room with us." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69.
23. The Pink Stuff, which truly is a miracle cleaning product in a tub. It'll probably convert you the moment you start scrubbing down everything in your life, from that grimy stovetop to the random stain on your hallway wall to the scum- and hard water-encrusted mess that's your bathtub or shower. You'll probably save time with it — and it won't leave streaks or scratches, either!
Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
24. A spray bottle of SoCozy Curl Spray Leave-In Conditioner because it's a multi-functional product lots of people with curly hair or curly-haired kiddos swear by! It's designed to both help detangle and define damp curls on wash day as they dry, and to detangle and rejuvenate when it's time to refresh curls on day 2 or 3.
Watch a TikTok of the SoCozy Curl Spray. Reviewers with 2a–4c curls love it!
Promising review: "Amazing!! I had NO idea that my frizzy-haired little girl had beautiful curls. I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bed head that looked like this! Now it is gorgeous soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.26 (available in one- or two-pack).
25. A compact silicone Icebreaker ice cube mold, where you 1) simply fill the bottle with water and cap it before freezing then 2) pull it out, smash the sides in to break the cubes, and effortlessly pour the cubes into your glass. No touching the ice or balancing a teetering tray full of water required!
Yes, it's dishwasher safe, too!! That enclosed compartment will help prevent your ice from taking on the smells of other food in your freezer, too, which is a bonus.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer or on the way to the freezer, and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).
Icebreaker, a small business based in Texas founded by Danish engineer Kim Jensen in 2020, makes this one product in order to help make ice cubes easier and more indispensable!
26. A Melissa & Doug magnetic calendar that makes learning the days of the week, the months of the year, and the weather a fun part of your preschooler's morning routine. The bottom board holds all the magnets they have to choose from, and they can put the correct magnets for the day in the labeled slots on the top board.
Promising reviews: "Saw on TikTok and bought it right away for my niece. She loves it!" —Farris2
"Almost 3-year-old loves it. After getting this he’s now asking me “today’s Tuesday mom?” And “it’s winter now?” He likes the holiday magnets and trying to figure out where to put the arrow for the temperature each day. It is sort of heavy, so I would recommend using a nail to hang it or Command Strips around the rope so you don’t damage your wall. I used a heavy weight Command Strip and it has held up for a few months now. We tried attaching Command Strips to the back of the wood and it wasn’t holding to that material. This is a must have for toddlers." —Steph
Get it from Amazon for $17.49.
27. A heatless, cushioned curling rod headband to give you the loose curls of your dreams with a little less effort than typical techniques (*cough* hot curling iron *cough*). Wrap your washed, damp hair around it as part of your bedtime routine, and when you wake up in the morning, you'll be astounded at your flowing, uniform curls.
The set comes with a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. It's made to work with all hair types. Remember to roll with damp hair for the best results!
Promising reviews: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah
"I am obsessed with this. Takes five minutes to put in the night before and you have perfect beach waves for the whole day. I can actually say 'I woke up like this!' I have naturally straight hair so in order to keep the curls, I wash my hair then when it’s damp I put mousse in it and then dry it until it’s just barely damp. That’s when I wrap it around the tube curler and go to bed." —Brianna Wagner
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors).
28. A broom for pet and human hair so you can extract years worth of built-up, embedded hair from your carpet and rugs — the kind that even your pet vacuum somehow doesn't touch — *and* easily sweep up the scattered bits from your hardwood or tile floors.
My colleage Emma Lord has this and has tried it! Here's what she has to say:
"An embarrassing confession: I do not have a pet, but I shed like nobody's business. My hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom and it immediately started pulling up GOBS of hair. My carpet, like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will — you can read my full review of the pet hair broom for more deets."
Promising review: "I have two long-haired dogs and my larger dog (a standard Aussie) sheds a lot. It's a constant hassle to clean up and it doesn't seem to matter how often we vacuum, there's always more hair. I saw this product on TikTok and thought it might be worth a try to get up more hair from our carpets. It worked really well. I personally found the 'squeegee' side worked best on the carpet, but the brush side worked well on the tile." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in multiple styles).
29. A sandwich cutter and sealer set because they make do-it-yourself Smuckers Uncrustables quick and simple, and are cheaper than the typical $10 for a box. You can customize ingredients for variety and it comes with three different shapes!
Promising reviews: "Had to try this because I saw it on TikTok and I spend way too much on Uncrustables for my picky kids! And my kids (ages 3 and 6) love the different shapes they can choose from." —Rachel
"A must-have. As a mom of two, ages 2 and 5, who HATE crust this is a lifesaver! It saves so much money to buy these instead of Uncrustables." —Baleigh W

30. The battery-powered Rubbermaid power scrubbing brush, which is basically a giant toothbrush with a bigger head and stiff bristles designed to tackle all the grossest nooks and crannies around your home. The bristles scrub 60 times EACH SECOND, for a very thorough, very speedy clean.
I've had one of these since 2017 and pull it out pretty much anytime I have a tough scrubbing task! My grout, corners of my shower, edges around my faucets, and all kinds of other small spots get impecabbly clean in no time, using just this brush and a little diluted soap. And it's handy to pull out anytime I have a particularly stubborn, stuck-on mess, like on my stove! Read my full Rubbermaid Power Scrubber review for more.
Promising review: "You need one. Seriously. Saw this brush multiple times on TIkTok. It sold me. When I got it, I went into clean mode and the darn thing is just amazing. You'll love it. It's so sturdy and works very well." —Kristin Haadsma

31. A wireless portable charger so you can feel assured that you won't be out and about somewhere and run into the dreaded ~low power mode~ right when you need your maps app to help you navigate back home or the Uber app to call a ride. It's nice and compact and TBH kinda cute!
See a TikTok of the portable charger doing its thing.
Promising review: "I purchased this ahead of an activity where I would be taking a lot of pictures with my phone. I really appreciated that I wasn't tied down to a wire while taking pictures while simultaneously charging the phone. The phone charged up from the battery bank very quickly. Also, the battery bank itself charges very fast on a quick charger. My husband loved it so much I ended up buying another one so mine wouldn't go missing. I now carry mine in my purse all the time. It is very portable and lightweight. I have charged it up at least 5 times and the battery seems to be holding its charge well, so hopefully it has longevity." —Jax

32. A Crack'em egg cracker and spoon rest because it is SO ANNOYING to crack an egg on the counter or the side of a bowl and end up with whites on the counter and eggshell in the bowl — seriously, this happens to me almost every time. This has a little ridge designed for precise and clean cracking so easy, reviewers who are parents say it's helpful for kids to use!
Watch this TikTok of the egg cracker to see how quick it is!
Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers

33. And a slim silverware organizer tray that takes up half the space of a traditional organizer but still stores a full 24-piece cutlery set, so you can use the rest of the drawer to store so much more.
Promising review: "New way to organize your silverware that has a sleek design. TikTok made me buy this! it’s a perfect design to not have as much clutter in your drawer. Great for ADHD people to see exactly what silverware is in which slot with the tiny pictures indicating a knife a spoon a fork!" —Haley Lutz
Get it from Amazon for $9.60.
They also make other sizes of these organizers; check those out at the Joseph Joseph Amazon store!
