1. A nail strengthening cream just perfect for anyone who wants to achieve IG-worthy manicures, but has no idea where to start. This cream helps condition cuticles and promote nail growth, so you'll be showing off your new mani in no time!
Promising review: "My natural nails are thin and brittle, and have a tendency to split, peel, and break. Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several time a day and after two months, my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my fingertips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." —M. Hill
Get it from Amazon for $7.80 (also available in packs of two or three).
2. A box of dentist-recommended Crest whitening strips — each treatment only takes 30 minutes, but with continued use can remove up to 20 years of stains from your teeth. 2024 is definitely a year for showing off your pearly whites!
Each pack includes 30 minute treatments, and two hour-long treatments.
Former BuzzFeed editor Haley Zovickian uses these strips and here's her review: "Folks, these are not the gloppy whitening strips of your childhood that slid all around your mouth and had you spitting out globs of product every few minutes so you wouldn't swallow it. I know this because I grew up using those exact strips to treat my hereditarily naturally-kinda-yellow teeth. I eventually swore off whitening strips because they were so awful and uncomfortable. 10 years later, I decided to give at-home whitening another try since I now drink like a million cups of coffee a day, which obviously did nothing to help my yellow teeth lol. Long story short, I was FLOORED when I tried these strips. They may or may not be the best beauty development of the 21st century. These things stay put with literally zero gloppy residue, no spitting or readjusting required. They work so well, I'm almost resentful ~kids these days~ won't experience how absurd at-home whiteners used to be lol. Anyway, they're so comfortable that the 30 minutes or an hour you have them on zips by, so that by the time you're through, your teeth look whiter with virtually zero effort on your part. Can I nominate this for some sort of award??
"BTW: If your teeth feel sensitive while you're using the strips (mine did), just take a break for a few days before starting them again."

3. Orrrr a teeth-whitening pen that'll start delivering results in just two weeks by simply painting a thin layer over your teeth every night! If whitening trays and strips seem like too much of a hassle, these travel-friendly pens are easy to use and effectively remove stains over time for a brighter, whiter smile!
Promising review: "These pens really work. I was skeptical before buying them, but then saw a difference after just one use. The best part is they even whitened the stubborn coffee stains I had between my teeth. I’ll keep using them. They are super easy to use and have no taste that I could discern. Really good product." —LCassie
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.97.
4. Internet-sensation the Squatty Potty, which simply sits at the front of your porcelain throne for you to prop your feet up while you do your business. This top-rated stool helps you align your colon, so you can go #2 easier *and* faster (we're talking seconds, compared to minutes), so you don't have to keep bringing a novel or newspaper with you on each bathroom trip.
BTW, a bunch of reviewers with chronic constipation and other gastrointestinal issues swear by this game-changing stool!
Promising review: "My constipation issues have gotten worse due to stress. This works. I felt a little odd elevating my feet and placing them on the Squatty Potty, but within no time, I was able to poop with ease. I definitely recommend this product for those who struggle with constipation." —Kale
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes).
5. A quick-to-Velcro-on knee stabilizer band for anyone who wants at least a little pain relief, no matter long-term or short. You won't have to worry about an uncomfortable brace slipping during use, and it'll help you out as you dance your way into the New Year with minimized knee pain!
Read more about knee stabilizers and braces at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I have chronic pain. First in my low back, then my neck, now my right foot and both knees. I’ve tried everything to try to support my knees. Those one-size-fits-all knee braces that cover the whole knee, those knee sleeves that cover the whole knee, a patella brace with a strap for the thigh and just below the knees with a padding that covered the back of my knee. Nothing worked AND was comfortable. They all shifted and chafed. About to give up I tried this. It fit comfortably under my jeans, it doesn’t shift around. I can wear it all day, I can go up and down stairs without pain, and I’ve even noticed improvement in my lower back as well. I’m very pleased!" —Angela
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).
6. The cult-favorite Laneige lip sleeping mask — it's earned over 29,000 5-star ratings from customers who've transformed their dry, chapped lips by using this overnight balm. A hydrating blend of coconut oil, shea and murumuru seed butters helps soften lips, but there's also a glossy finish in case you ever want to wear it out!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer uses this product, and here's what she has to say: "I use this lip mask all the time! If I have severely dry lips, I'll reach for my Aquaphor lip repair (also a holy grail), but for everyday use, this mask is great — I even use it in the daytime, too! The shine is pretty enough for Zoom meetings, too!"
Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE! I am pretty sure I have postpartum chapped/dry lips because of breastfeeding. I never had this issue of having to deal with chapped lips. I literally tried lip scrubs, balms, Vaseline even, and nothing worked, but I am gonna be honest, the first time I used this product, I literally saw instant results overnight! I know I can be on a little pricy side, but if you want to get your chapped/dry lips taken care of, PLEASE buy this product; it’s HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!!" —Abdullah S.
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in six colors/scents).

Promising review: "OH MY LANTA. PURCHASE THIS NOW. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I found this one TikTok and saw the gal's review and had to buy it. I have thick hair, and this dries my hair in less than 15 minutes. PLUS, I don’t have to fuss with a straightener or a curling iron if I don’t want to!! It leaves my hair so soft and shiny and gives it SO MUCH VOLUME! I recommend this to ANYONE I talk to about it. Seriously, my favorite styling tool. Seriously, so in love." —Sydney
Get it from Amazon for $38.98+ (available in three styles).
8. A Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer for anyone whose favorite makeup look is a "no makeup" look. This lightweight moisturizer is designed with SPF 20 to deliver an even and matte complexion, all while helping protect your skin from the sun! Me-thinks you should add it to your collection, stat.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, SPF 30 and higher is recommended for sun protection, so you should still apply sunscreen with this product!
Promising review: "Game-changer. Omg. This product legit changed the makeup game for me. I was ready to give up on face makeup forever before I found this. It matches my skin tone perfectly, sinks into my skin well, and is undetectable even after hours of use!" —Nats20
Get it from Sephora for $53 (available in 20 shades and also in a mini size for $29).

Promising review: "Life changing on a long trip! My partner wanted us to drive from Colorado to California. I wanted to fly because I had a fall and half of my body was in pain. He talked me into it so I purchased this pillow for the car ride. What a game changer! It helped so much with the pain and I would recommend it for anyone in the car!" —Nadia
Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get 5% off this price; available in three colors).
10. A bottle of Drop It, which helps naturally remove wine sulfates and tannins, so you can enjoy a glass of wine every now and then without worrying about a debilitating headache afterwards. This remover acts fast, too, so you can get to sipping in less than 30 seconds.
The recommended amount is 1–2 drops for a glass of white and 2–3 drops for a glass of red. But, if you're dropping it directly into the bottle, use 7–9 drops. FYI, an entire bottle of Drop It can treat up to 55 glasses of wine, which is a whole lotta headache-less bang for your buck!
Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine, it was so bad I just stopped drinking wine altogether, then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache-free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" —shelleymab
Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available individually or in a variety of multi-packs).
11. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers because an organized kitchen is the first step to cooking some incredible meals. No more confusing salt for sugar or realizing you have waaaaay more Basmati rice in your pantry than you should. Start the new year off by getting organized and marvel at how much more kitchen space you can actually use!
This set also includes reusable labels.
I have this set and TBH, I have another set in my Amazon cart, just waiting. I personally bought this to keep my food safe from vermin in my very small kitchen, but I've found that each of these containers is worth way more than what I paid. I use them for everything! I have a few in the freezer keeping cookies ready for reheating, several in the pantry with teas, rice, sugar, and cereal — and I've even used them to carry a large amount of dog food on the go! They are easy enough to clean in the sink, but also dishwasher-safe. Highly recommend!
Promising review: "I have tried other brands of containers for airtight storage but they are a hassle to clean. This system is fantastic for an airtight seal yet easy to clean. I like the variety of sizes, the cute labels, and the chalk marker. I will be ordering more!" —mds2006
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three colors).
12. An 8-inch Misen chef's knife designed with long-lasting high-carbon stainless steel — it makes a sharp and dependable assistant in the kitchen. Why spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy knife when this one was created to be the ultimate sous chef for professionals and amateurs alike?
Promising review: "Love this knife! It cuts incredibly quickly and I've used it at least eight times in just two days. I was mincing onions and garlic like a professional chef. I have been so accustomed to using less-than-ideal knives, so switching to this incredible knife was a lifesaver. The grip is perfect and I wish I had more items that were made of this material. The knife felt very secure in my hand, and the curved edge about the handle allowed me to cut with precision and speed without any pain to my index fingers. I have found that slicing bagels in half with any knife that is not serrated can be difficult, but not with this knife! Highly recommend to both novice and professional cooks." —Jeff Parrott
Get it from Amazon for $65+ (available in four colors and three sizes).
13. An Instant Pot 7-in-1 multicooker that will literally change your life once you start making large-batch meals with this thing and learn meal-prepping doesn't have to take up your entire day. From stews and soups to rice and slow-cooked meat, you'll be eating good with half the effort after investing in this kitchen must-have.
It can be used as a rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer for lots of food. For more inspo, check out our full review of the Instant Pot and Instant Pot recipes that'll basically cook themselves.
Promising review: "There are so many people who say they can't cook, but I swear I'm on a whole new level of not being able to cook. This little appliance helps expand our menu and I have learned to do so much with it. I will sum up in a nutshell, 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 (which I don't eat much of anyway), 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!" —Aundrea
Get the 6-quart from Amazon for $99.99 (also available in 3- or 8-quart sizes).
14. A set of Sea Bands that are designed to help reduce nausea by applying pressure to a specific acupoint on your wrist. Now, you might not have to miss out on valuable vacation moments or family time due to motion sickness!
Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising review: "These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially carsickness. My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. I have suffered for decades and now I know better. I will never travel without mine again!" —1SmartCookie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.51.
15. A pair of backseat organizers if that section of your vehicle is looking a little chaotic. With these you can make sure everything has a place: your car trashcan, road snacks, chew toys for your pooch or iPads to entertain your little ones. Not to mention, they also have cup holders, so even if you're riding solo there's still room for your venti coffee from Starbs, your emotional support Diet Coke, and, of course, your water bottle.
Each organizer has six mesh storage pockets, a pocket for tissue boxes, a tablet holder, a USB cable slot, and a headphone plug-in slot. Plus, they're waterproof!
Promising review: "Fits well and covers the back of the seats nicely! My boys can't muck up the back of my seats, and my van is more organized now that they have a specific space for their toys, electronics, snacks, and sports equipment!" —Yuji Jr.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.99.
16. A pack of 24-karat gold cooling, hydrating eye gels created with a blend of hyaluronic acid and collagen to help reduce puffiness and under-eye bags if you've been busy burning the midnight oil. The best part? You can wear these eye gels while doing literally anything else: cooking dinner, catching up on your favorite show, homework, or even while you choose an outfit for the next day. It's called multitasking, look it up!
You only have to wear the eye gels for 20–30 minutes at a time, and can use them up to three times a week for the best results.
Promising review: "First of all, amazing deal for the price! Secondly, they work amazing!! I have issues with tired eyes and I used the patches for about 30 minutes after I washed my face, while I was in the shower, then took them off when I did my makeup and my under-eye was so moisturized and rejuvenated!" —Tiara Baker
Get a pack of 20 pairs from Amazon for $13.56 (also available in packs of 15 and 30).
17. A hair-finishing stick to make flyaways, stubborn baby hairs, and frizz a thing of the past with its innovative mascara-like brush applicator.
Promising review: "I have super-fine hair with lots of breakage. No matter how I put my hair up I have bad flyaways. This stuff is great! So easy and it stays better and looks smoother than stiff hairspray." —Jill Stilfield
Get it from Amazon for $5.55.
18. And for the extra curly kweens — a nourishing and strengthening edge gel. It's infused with biotin and essential oils to help strengthen damaged hair and promote hair growth, all while keep your edges laid without leaving any greasy residue or flakes.
The gel can be applied with fingertips or a brush until the desired level of hold is achieved. BTW, you don't have to smooth down your edges unless you want to (trust me, I rarely do) — just check out this article on why laying your edges is never mandatory.
Promising review: "I like the light consistency of this edge control. It doesn’t take much and did the job I was looking for it to do. I didn’t have any issues with flaking or dryness. My hair texture is different since it's been growing back since chemotherapy so honestly it doesn't take much for it." —FitSisterP

19. A Hey Dewy Portable Humidifier just perfect for anyone with skincare on their list of 2024 goals. This quiet and powerful machine helps you combat parched skin, dry sinuses, and chapped lips with a soothing mist and up to eight-hour run-time (in case you want to leave it on overnight)! It'll deliver moisture and hydration to your skin (and even your plants), so you can wake up and start your day off right!
Charge the humidifier with the included five-foot USB cable and then unplug for wireless use.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Danielle Healy has the 10.8-ounce humidifier and loves it, here's what she has to say: "This baby humidifier has genuinely made my life SO much better! For months, I would wake up with my nose and lips painfully dry until I started setting this little guy up on my nightstand while I sleep, and plugged into my laptop on my desk while I work. Not only are my skin hydration levels waaayyy up, but I really enjoy leaning over to feel the cool mist on my face for a few deep, cleansing breaths throughout the day. It's incredibly refreshing and I already know is going to be a lifesaver for travel. Dry plane and hotel room air is a thing of the past!"
Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors).
Cindy Kang, a Korean-born co-founder of Hey Dewy, created this after working in super dry offices for 15 years — which inspired her to design a humidifier she could use anywhere!
20. A rapid egg cooker for anyone who loves egg dishes and wants to become a pro at making the perfect soft-boiled or poached eggs. This lil' cooker will have your eggs done in minutes and your successful egg recipes will have you one step closer to chef-level expertise!
Promising review: "I was skeptical when I ordered it but I use it constantly. I live in barracks and do not have a stove. I bought it for boiled eggs but use it much more for breakfast burritos. Super easy. Butter the tray, put in egg and water, press the button, and walk away. By time I'm dressed for work it's ready. Throw it in a tortilla and walk out with it. More nutritious than Pop-Tarts. It does hard-boiled eggs well but don't assume that's all its good for. Great for college kids, military people, traveling workers, or anyone without access to a full kitchen." —a.l.s
Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in eight colors).

21. A Lodge pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet because I firmly believe that everyone should have one in their kitchen, and this one won't put a dent in your pocket. Update your cookware in 2024 so you can make a perfect imitation of that buffalo chicken dip or jalapeño honey skillet cornbread you're obsessed with, or even bring the restaurant experience home by searing up some delicious fajitas. The possibilities are endless!
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel has this and raves: "This is the cast-iron I have, and it pretty much just lives on my stovetop because I use it so much. While cast-irons are most well-known for getting a good sear on meat, it's just as — if not more — amazing at crisping up veggies to perfection. To clean, simply hand wash (I usually opt for no soap, but you do you) and rub with vegetable oil to keep it nice and seasoned."
Get the 10.25-inch from Amazon for $19.90 (available in five other sizes).
22. A Dawn Powerwash bundle for anyone whose stress is mainly caused by the growing stack of dishes in the sink that you keep putting off for "tomorrow." 😩😩😩 Well, it's a new day, and this top-rated dish soap saves you time by eliminating the need for a pre-soak since the spray helps break down grease and food debris in minutes. And then you just wipe the mess away. 🥲
This bundle includes one spray bottle and three refills.
Promising review: “The first place I tried this was in my air fryer basket. It gets caked with grease and the dishwasher doesn't get it clean. I sprayed this on it and within a few minutes, the soap started turning a brownish color. I sprayed a little more and let it sit for an hour. All of the grease came off with a rinse!! Bonus use: I just used it to get resin off of mine and my daughter's hands!! How did I ever live without this??" —A D
Get it from Amazon for $17.50.
23. A Spectrum Wall Planner that features all twelve months if you're the kind of person who likes seeing everything laid out in front of you at the same time. This vibrant, poster-sized monthly calendar is undated, so you can start using it whenever you'd like and customize its assembly in whatever way makes you happy (and organized)! BRB, adding this to my cart!
The calendar is created with paper, so you can write on it, use stickers or sticky notes, etc.! Plus, you can also hang it all up at once or month by month.
Promising review: "Zero complaints about this calendar from me. I buy it every year, and the colors are so bright and cheery (unless you get the more muted colors, but those are nice too). Tons of space to write on each little square, and I'm sure I'll continue to buy one every year for eternity." —L.H.
Get it from Amazon for $48.
24. A Shoe Slotz space saver to help you organize your massive shoe collection in a way that makes sense and allows your to see all your options at once. The white device neatly stacks shoes on top of each other, so they take up half the shelf space. Did I mention this method also means you'll have a less cluttered closet?
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has to say about this handy organization unit: "This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes."
Promising review: "These things are genius. I had my closet redone and asked for the back wall to have cubbies so I can easily display my shoes, but I either underestimated the number of shoes I have or overestimated the space that was in the closet and I couldn't display them all. I bought a few packs of these and now I have extra space. I guess I'll have to go out and buy more shoes now!" —Hercules
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $34.99+ (also available as a 12-pack).
Shoe Slotz is a small business.
25. Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence — whoever thought about adopting a snail's skincare "secret" might actually be a genius? This top-rated serum helps hydrate and restore dry, dull skin on your face, leaving you with a moisturized, glowing complexion.
Promising review: "This is holy grail for me! It's unscented, which I love, and goes on so smooth. I'm a little backwards with my application being that after toner or exfoliation I put on a few drops of jojoba oil, and then the essence. I found that by doing this, the products absorb better. Since using this in combination with the Korean skin care method, my face has completely cleared up, with only the occasional zit. Honestly, it's my favorite product and soothes my skin, especially after exfoliating. Highly recommended!" —Anjelic
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
26. A tube of the 4.6-starred Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, which is the ultimate beauty multitasker because it can moisturize, nourish, soothe, and prime your skin for makeup all at once, so you can push the six different products you've been using to the side and start using just this one. Now, you can breeze through your skincare routine and still have a glowing complexion thanks to a nourishing blend of shea butter, aloe vera, beeswax, and soy proteins.
Promising review: "Many have said this already, but this stuff is life changing! My skin was getting dried out from a new retinol routine. I used this for the fist time before bed and woke up with a GLOW, no joke. I'm addicted, and now use it every night after I cleanse and tone and every morning beneath my sunscreen." –JJSerge
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in two sizes).
27. Foot exfoliating peel masks that must be magic considering the way dead skin flakes off after one application, eventually leaving you with feet softer than when you were born, TBH. Is the peeling skin process gross? Definitely. But over 13,000 5-star ratings prove the results are worth it.
Just pop on the booties for an hour, wash your feet, and marvel (or be totally grossed out) at the layers of dead skin peeling off your feet.
Promising review: "Easy to use and will make your feet peel. And I mean peel aaaaaa lot!! The first time I used them was on a Friday night and by Monday I was peeling. Soaked my feet on Tuesday and used a pumice stone on my heels and calluses under my big toe. Be prepared as you will have skin in your socks and everywhere you walk without shoes/socks in the house. So worth the results." —Tracey

28. *OR* a foot file, which requires a little elbow grease to tackle those crusted and calloused feet once and for all (or at least, regularly) — and literally in minutes. If you want to work on saving money in the new year, skip those costly pedis and enjoy a spa day from the comfort of your home!
Promising review: "AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently, and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them. This is all you need!!! I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute! I'll never use anything else! Even better than professional pedicures!!!" —Kyla Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
29. A cutlery drawer organizer because having a drawer of loose utensils is not only stressful, but can also be a safety hazard. Organize your full set of knives, forks, spoons, and wine stoppers in a way that makes sense, but also takes up half the space of a typical organizer, making room for larger cooking utensils that desperately need a place to go.
One tray fits up to 24 pieces of cutlery.
Promising review: "THE BEST silverware storage organizer compartments I’ve EVER had in my entire life! We have a large family and therefore have the need for a lot of silverware. Unfortunately, we have a small shallow and narrow drawer in our house but it was always full! Constantly disorganized before, and now amazingly organized. The only reason I would hesitate would be if your drawer is not adequately deep, but from reading reviews people said if they had 3.5 inches of depth it would be just fine which is exactly what I have and there’s adequate drawer depth for me. I measured my skinny drawer and realized I still had space for two units and took the plunge and am so glad I did! Silverware goes quickly from the dishwasher straight into the drawer and you don’t have to stack perfectly to put a lot in!!! ADD IT TO YOUR CART NOW, you’ll be glad you did if you have the same problem as we did!" —oceantiff
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
30. An air fryer to help you dramatically cut down on the amount of takeout ordered to your front door (sure, it's convenient, but also expensive). This top-rated kitchen appliance fits on your counter and allows you to make wings, fries, mini tarts, egg rolls, and more without waiting on a delivery driver. You may end up even wanting to cook more once you start using it!
BuzzFeed editor Hannah Loewentheil bought this air fryer during quarantine, and has zero regrets: "Friends of mine were raving about their new Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer, so after reading similar feedback on Amazon, I decided it looked like a winner. I figured I would be using this appliance primarily as air air fryer, but as an added bonus, it can also roast, broil, bake, re-heat, and dehydrate food. I've had this air fryer for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say it's become the hero of my kitchen. It preheats quickly, it's large enough to hold a good amount of food at once, it's easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I've been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you're cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don't get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don't mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there's no oil involved in the cooking — just air. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn't believe I made this at home!!"

31. And a magnetic air fryer cheat sheet that means you don't have to deal with flipping through recipe books or using food-covered hands to open your phone to figure out how long it takes to make the perfect wings or cheesesticks.
Promising review: "Bought an air fryer several months ago which I haven't used a whole lot because it came with only a few recipes but not enough info on other items to cook. The Lotteli cheat sheet gives you cooking times and temperatures for a lot of your common everyday foods in a magnetized easy-to-read, two-sheet combo that fills in where the air fryer pamphlet that came with the unit leaves out. I also bought an air fryer cookbook but this only comes with specific recipes, whereas the cheat sheet fills in the void for quick basic needs. Very happy with this purchase! 😁" —B. Frank Smith
Get it from Amazon for $6.75+ (available in two colors).
32. A KitchenAid mini stand mixer if you're ready to improve your amateur baking skills from Nailed It! to Great British Bake-Off expertise in 2024. Get started with this artisan-quality mixer that can produce enough dough for up to five dozen cookies at once...so definitely call your friends over for testing!
This 3.5-quart mini mixer includes a wire whisk, flat beater, and dough hook. It is dishwasher-safe and sports a powerful 10-speed slide control.
Promising review: "This is a very early review of my first mixer. First impressions: I love it. I always wanted to get a bit more into baking, but had been off-put by the sheer size of a KitchenAid mixer. I had not realized that this mini size existed. As soon as I saw it on the sale price I grabbed it. Size-wise, it's perfect — IMO — for basic at-home baking. It's small enough to leave permanently on a counter, or light enough for moving around when needed. I've seen and worked with a couple of the more standard sized models, and to me the mini seems to be at the same level of quality and performance. This isn't a 'lesser' model, just a bit smaller. I was pretty impressed with you quickly and easily it powered-out a couple tart crusts. Very glad to have finally found this and gotten one." —Michael

34. A pack of vacuum-sealed storage bags that'll compress all your bulky items currently taking up waaaay too much space in your closets. We're manifesting that in the new year, you actually drop off all those clothes you've been planning on donating, but if not, at least they'll be neatly consolidated and out of the way.
Maitland Quitmeyer, a member of the BuzzFeed Shopping team, LOVES these! Here's what she has to say: "WHY didn't I buy these vacuum storage bags sooner?? I chose the large size (as opposed to the biggest size, called 'jumbo') because it seemed easier to move and store — jumbo is probably perfect for bedding, duvets, etc! And just one large bag was plenty to store 9 or 10 *very* large winter sweaters — all collapsed down to a fraction of their size. And it was surprisingly effortless, too! I am literally going to order another pack of five today — my closet game is forever changed!!!"
Get a set of five from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four sizes; also available in a 10-pack).

35. A pill organizer if you're anything like me and forget to take your meds on time because you literally didn't bring them with you... Now, you can have more peace of mind while you travel thanks to this organizer designed with six small compartments and two large ones, so you can keep your pills, vitamins, and supplements on-hand when you need them.
Promising review: "I like this pill organizer a lot. I didn't know what to do with all three of these. But honestly, I am happy I got all three instead of the one. It's small, lightweight, and easy to stow away. I put one in my travel bag, one in my car (for allergy meds, Tylenol, etc.), and gave my Dad my last one for his travel bag. My only minor complaint is that the tabs on the smaller compartments are a little hard for me to open, and I have broken my nails trying to open them. But other than that, I am very happy with this. I also like that it comes with labels so you can label each compartment and know what is in it." —Brittney
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in five colors).
36. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner for anyone who doesn't have enough time to tackle the stubborn rings in their bathtub — or worse, the mildew growing in the hard-to-reach corners of your shower. All you have to do is spray down your shower after getting out and remember to rinse it before the next time you get in. After a few days of daily use, you can start doing weekly applications and check cleaning your shower off your daily chore list.
Promising review: "This product is so easy to use. As you can see from the pictures, my bathtub was stained pretty good. The guy who owned the house before me used Ajax to clean it so it has almost no enamel left on it. Nothing could get the staining out until I bought this. After four eight-hour applications, you can see the difference. I highly recommend this to everybody and once it’s completely clean I’m gonna go on the once-a-week application. I actually bought another bottle for my dad and mom." —Domenick R. Stamegna
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes and two scents).
37. An under-$200 Eufy robotic vacuum because AI is here to stay, so why not enjoy it? This smart vac is designed for set-and-forget cleaning by sensing the messes and tackling them with zero guidance. Not only can it transition seamlessly from carpet to hardwood flooring, but its sleek shape means it can slide under furniture to get to forgotten and out-of-reach dust bunnies!
This robotic vacuum also includes a remote control in case you want to limit its power in your household. Think Smart House, but less scary!
Promising review: "I did a lot of research before settling on this brand and model. This unit gives reliable performance and is less expensive than many of the other options. As I live in an apartment, I can’t comment on battery life. It’s certainly plenty for me. We have a cat and a dog and two humans and the Eufy makes a huge difference in keeping things clean with low effort. You do have to occasionally rescue it from under a piece of furniture and be very diligent about pre-clearing cords and shoes with untied laces. It is so satisfying to empty the contents after a sweep! I’ve had it for a year now and there have been no issues at all." —Brooklyn222
Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (apply the $100 off coupon to get this price; available in two styles).
38. Orrr a hybrid robot vacuum and mop, just perfect for hard floors (read: hardwood, cement, and tile) since it gets two jobs done at once! You can go ahead and check the floors off your chore list after scheduling a clean with this smart machine, it'll chart out the path for each room and get the work done for you.
You can schedule this smart vac-and-mop to clean at three different power levels (low for daily cleaning, medium for care cleaning, and high for deep cleaning), depending on what you need. A magnetic boundary strip helps tell the tool where not to go, so you don't have to worry about it going off the path into rooms it shouldn't. Plus, it's compatible with Alexa and Google, so you literally don't have to lift a finger.
Promising review: "We LOVE this! It works so much better than our four other Roombas. It always returns to its home base to charge. It rarely gets stuck on anything. It’s very convenient. Our robot mop is so finicky and never wants to start. This product is so nice! We add water about once a day." —Ali Bruder
Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in two styles).
39. A Luna Mini 2 by FOREO if you want to remove your makeup (except your eye makeup) while washing your face with cleanser, making your nightly skincare routine a lot shorter. This sonic cleanser will deliver a deep clean you thought you could only get from a professional and remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil in literally one minute.
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer tried this skincare gadget and loved how it made her skin clearer and smoother. She said, "It removes up to 99.5% of dirt and oil — and leaves your face free of ANY makeup residue. I wear a full face every day, and I am consistently amazed by the results of this tool." See her full FOREO Luna Mini 2 review.
Promising review: "I had a Clarisonic and never used it. It was cumbersome, too large to travel with, and I kept having to replace the brushes. I also felt that it was a little too harsh on my skin and I could only use it every other day. The Luna I am really loving. It's tiny, simple to use, clean and pack, and I've noticed a difference in the few weeks that I've been using it — my pores look smaller, my skin is clearer, and the tone on my skin is also improved. I would highly recommend." —NataliaF
Get it from Amazon for $139 (available in five colors).
40. The Mario Badescu Facial Spray — it boasts over 47,000 5-star ratings thanks to its multipurpose design that reviewers love! This moisturizing spray can be used for a little extra hydration to your skin and hair throughout the day, setting makeup, or even just a spritz refreshing!
Promising review: "I enjoy the refreshing, cooling sensation this gives when sprayed on the face; it gives a boost of hydration before my moisturizer, and also works well as a setting spray. But the best benefit I've gotten is from spraying it in my hair! My limp, thin, baby-fine hair has never looked better or felt stronger." —Laura B

Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in two sizes and various packs).
41. A daily planner that's designed with un-dated pages, so you can use it whenever you'd like and keep track of the days you're feeling extra chaotic. Each sheet also includes areas for you to take notes on water intake, fitness goals, achievements, gratitude, and even the occasional doodle! New Year, new organized you!
My sister swears by these planners, and she's a Capricorn, so you know she means business when it comes to being organized.
Promising review: "I love this list. Like many these days, I’m working virtually. It’s difficult having everything online, and I like having this tangible to-do list. Instead of randomly lurching from one overwhelming task to another, this to-do list lets me plan out each day and keeps me organized so I don’t get distracted. I start fresh each day (I actually write my list the night before — that way, I’m ready to go when I get up) so I don’t feel like I have tasks that never go away! I also love the spot to keep track of food and activities as that gives me a break to focus on something other than work. My favorite part is the very top ‘today I am grateful for.’ This helps me build gratitude into my day and appreciate all the wonderful people I have in my life." —Joy
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two sizes).
42. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula for anyone who doesn't even have enough time in their day to schedule a facial, let alone actually get one. This easy-to-use scrubber helps unclog pores using high-frequency vibrations, which helps your skin better absorb your favorite skincare products. Each cycle runs for just five minutes before automatically shutting off, and TBH that's all you need for a satisfying daily clean!
See it in action on TikTok here.
I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!
Promising review: "Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can’t reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." —Paige Chaney

Its moisturizing, multipurpose formula features rosemary, chamomile, and lavender oils, along with vitamins A and E for a skin-soothing all-over oil. This just might become your new favorite beauty product in 2024...you never know!
Promising review: "AMAZING PRODUCT! I am amazed! I wash my face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser while in the shower, and immediately after getting out of the shower put Bio-Oil on my skin. That is all I do. I do have a spot treatment from Neutrogena with 10% maximum-strength benzoyl peroxide for those SUPER STUBBORN pimples, but hardly use it since starting with Bio-Oil. I will forever use this product and recommend when I can. I have olive-toned, freckled,dry-ish skin with an oily nose and forehead, adult hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation. Bio-Oil has given me a literal GLOW! I feel confident with my face again. I hardly leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Good luck on your healthy skin journey." —Amazon Customer
"Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it twice a day, morning and before I go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see notice the changes." –Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Promising reviews: "My makeup collection is not a mess anymore thanks to this product. All my makeup fits in there amazingly... My Urban Decay Naked palette could fit in it. I have four of them in the bottom drawer...I like that it comes with drawer lining that grips to the makeup so they are not moving around in there as you open and close drawers." —Shorouq
"Just perfect for what I needed. A ton of storage space, looks clean and tidy. It was packaged well, everything came in great shape. I spent a lot of time looking at different cosmetic organizers, read many reviews, compared prices and I wasn't disappointed in my purchase one bit. Great value." —deidra

The set includes: two wide drawers, two narrow drawers, one can dispenser drawer, and one egg drawer.
Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for to clean up a cluttered fridge! My fruit and veggies normally get hidden behind bulkier items and spoil before found again, so it's also saving money by being a little more tidy! The containers are the perfect size to slide right onto each shelf and fit differently sized items nicely. I especially love the can holder, goodBYE soda boxes!!!!" —tiredbiscuit

48. A tub of bestselling Pink Stuff that'll turn those "impossible" stains and messes into something possible to clean with its mildly abrasive formula. All you need is a microfiber cloth or sponge and a little elbow grease! Seriously, use it on almost everything, including your caked-up oven, burnt-up pan bottoms, scummy shower walls, and even those unfortunate doodles from your little one's artist phase.
Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer

The drill is NOT included. But if you don't have a drill or doubt the power of your current one, here's one you might like.
Promising review: "These brushes, paired with some liquid glass cooktop cleaner, MIRACULOUSLY cleaned soap scum and limescale deposits from my shower doors. It took a lot of work but these brushes succeeded where everything else failed. My sister thought the doors were frosted glass, that's how bad the buildup was on them. After a weekend's work (with frequent breaks so I wouldn't burn out my husband's DeWalt cordless drill), the results are amazing." —Mary in Nebraska

Over 67,000 shoppers loved this product enough to rate it ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ , and many consider this to be a "holy grail" beauty product.
Promising review: "I'm an adult male, and over the last year, I was trying to start a skincare routine. No matter what I tried, I would still get one or two small blemishes every week. Once I started using Paula's Choice BHA, within two weeks my skin improved dramatically. Within four weeks, I began not getting blemishes at all. It really depends on your skin type, but I find it to be very gentle. I began using it twice a day and never had any dryness at all. I continue to use it twice a day and always follow with Vanicream facial moisturizer. If you use too much, it will not absorb as well, but you can continue to rub it in and make it absorb. It does have an odd 'oily' feel if you use too much, but again, just rub it in." —Family Man
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes).
55. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil if dry and chapped lips are the bane of your existence, not just during winter but year-round. This lightweight oil delivers nourishment to the sensitive skin on your lips along with a subtle tint, making it a staple in your pocket or bag.
This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.
Promising reviews: "Thicker lip balms didn't seem to be helping much with dryness and cracking. I didn’t buy this for the color (I got the appletea version), but I really like the consistency, and applying it twice a day does seem to have quickly led to less cracked, dry lips in general. I'll probably be buying this again." —lfm
"This stuff is amazing. I love the tint, and it lasts so long. I use this twice a day, sometimes only once, and trust me when I say my lips get so, so dry, and it's a problem. However, when I use this product, my lips feel soft, smell good, and they are very moisturized throughout the entire day." —Amazon Customer

It's also cruelty-free and contains nontoxic plant fibers and beeswax so it's safe to use on your scalp and skin!
Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! If you have thinning or graying hair, this powder is a must-have. It even creates a bit of volume in my very thin hair. I've purchased many different hair products to conceal my thinning hair, most are ineffective, messy, or leave my hair feeling greasy. This is super easy to use; I even use it for my sparse eyebrows. I simply use a soft, small lip liner brush to fill in my brows for a natural look. I also love that it lasts till your next shampoo. At first I didn't like the built-in sponge, but I've grown to really like it. The powder sticks to the sponge, making it easy to apply to whatever area you want to cover up, and the powder doesn't come off on pillows if you leave it on overnight." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I’ve had this pillow for about a week now. I was skeptical at first buying a $50 pillow but I used to wake up every morning with horrible neck and shoulder blade pain so I convinced myself to buy the pillow because it was cheaper than buying a new mattress. This is the best thing I’ve ever bought! I sleep all night and wake up in the same position I fell asleep in. I have no pain! It’s comfortable and I’m a side/back sleeper. I highly recommend this pillow. It does have a slight chemical smell but I only noticed it for a couple of days. BUY IT!!" —BRITTNI Murphy

Promising review: "Great product! I bought these to put in my nightstand drawer to store small things, as the drawer is very deep. I've got ChapStick, hand lotions, a small flashlight, and other bedside items in them so they're not just rolling around the drawer. I just bought some more for my bathroom vanity. They fit together nicely but also lift right out of each other. The plastic is sturdy, and they came individually wrapped to keep them from scratching." —Sparkyj

I didn’t use any products, masks, moisturizer, nothing. It was a blessing. I had a baby and ever since, my skin has been horrible, especially my nose. Pores so filled even estheticians couldn’t help me. One use of this scrubber and I see a NOTICEABLE difference. It’s honestly incredible. I’m finally feeling like myself again. HIGHLY recommend!" —Cristian

Promising review: "I have always had skin issues. Itchy, flaky skin, lotion won't absorb, no product really helps remove the gross dead skin in high friction areas. These changed my life! Remove dead skin with ease, and aren't as coarse as those gloves you see in big box stores! I'm significantly less itchy, lotion absorbs better, and I feel better when I wear tank tops or even less! These things are a lifesaver. Most gross and satisfying, while scrubbing, I noticed the water turning gray in the tub as I scrubbed away all those dead skin cells. My allergies aren't half of what they were a week ago, and I can use all those cute soaps and lotions! I feel great. I'd buy these a million times more. I had no idea how much body soil I was retaining. I feel great after a shower and for once, I feel truly clean." —Rachel Anschuetz

63. A glass/bottle rinse because it can be really hard to get your tumblers, bottles, jars, and other deep items clean with just a sponge. This easy-to-use rinser sprays your glasses on the inside as you hold them upside down, rinsing away leftover bevvies right before your eyes. Now you can stop contorting your arm to clean the bottom of your favorite travel mug!
Just FYI, installation for this gadget requires a separate sprayer in your sink that's unused (this is where it goes) and it won't work on any sink without a flat edge!
Promising review: "Never knew I needed one until I saw it on TikTok, and with water bottles and toddler cups it is essential to my household!" —Gayla Brink

64. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner, so you don't have to stick your hand down there like a scene from a horror movie trying to find the gross source of the smell coming from your drain. Just run hot water and place one of these packets in your disposal, turn it on, and watch it foam up and drain away the nastiness, leaving you with a delightful citrus scent and a cleaner sink.
Back when I had a garbage disposal (I miss it), I tried out this top-seller and it was amazing to watch *and* it worked! It's created with ingredients that are safe for your drain, disposal, and septic tank, and the instructions are very easy to understand. Plus, it smells good! You can use it as often as weekly to keep your garbage disposal in tip-top condition. But it won't unclog a drain or disposal...for that, you'll need to call a plumber.
Promising review: "Easy to use. I followed directions and it works just like it says. I only use this once every month now. First use I had to do it twice (which it says if it hasn’t been cleaned in a while you may need too). Weekly I follow up with the Glisten garbage disposal freshener and that keeps my disposal working well and smelling great." —Lostbraincell
