1. A "flossing" toothbrush, in case having things between your teeth is a fear right out of your nightmares, these nifty tools will help you out! Each toothbrush is designed with several layers of soft bristles that are similar to floss, reaching between teeth, under the gums, and deep into those hard-to-reach spaces that regular brushing can't get.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord uses these, and here's her take: "I personally bought a few months ago this and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."
Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N.

3. Essence's Lash Princess mascara, because who wants to deal with wearing falsies when you can get an equally voluminous look with a few swipes? This cruelty-free mascara boasts a long-lasting, flake- and clump-free formula, so you can bat those lashes without any worries.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord has to say: "Hello, that is my face above, 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.
4. A copy of Burn After Writing, so you can lessen your screen time and spend more time filling out the prompts, questions, and other activities in this guided journal designed to help you get in better touch with yourself and your feelings.
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

Promising review: "This is my first time using the MyMatcha stick and I looovvveee it! I have it on me pretty much all the time so I can dab a little bit on my dry spots as I need to. It softens up my dry areas and even decreases the swelling of my acne! I've used it as a moisture stick, an acne anti-inflammatory, and even a fly-away tamer. It's a great multitasking product." —alizza d.

Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist.

Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok, it works great so far." —MarMarManuel
"After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." —LuckLocust

I was able to pack all my needed items for the weekend, including laptop. Extremely happy with this bag. Will gladly use this bag on longer trips as well. I purchased the light pink color and it's perfect." —pixie trinket

Plus, it'll do it all with the least amount of elbow grease you've had to use in awhile.
10. A Renpho percussion massager because sometimes foam rolling just isn't working out your knots enough and paying for massages quickly gets expensive. This handheld gadget helps you release knots, muscle tension, and other body aches you might not even have noticed were making you a grump on the daily!
Check out a TikTok of the massager in action.
Promising review: "My husband bought me a massage gun for Christmas. I opened it, and it had been used (yuck) so I said, let's return it. My daughter in law got one for Christmas as well. We put an end on each one, and we compared them. Mine was from Sharper Image/Costco, hers was this model Renpho. Mine in comparison was not powerful, did not go as fast, and just didn't do much for me. They look similar but they were NOT. So I returned mine, and I ordered this Renpho. Due to the holidays, there were delays with the shipment. I was soooo disappointed because I was looking forward to trying it on my aching feet with plantar fasciitis. I have tried EVERYTHING for my feet, nothing works and I am always in pain. It came, and I opened the box to find an UNUSED, BRAND NEW massage gun with all the attachments. I tried it out and I thought wow, that feels AWESOME. But the true test is how do you feel the next day right? You cannot always walk around with a massage gun in your hand. The next day, I felt AMAZING. AMAZING. I used it on my hubby's back too, and he said he felt so much better today as well! In addition, this one is way QUIETER than my original massage gun. It's just really a quality piece. You won't be disappointed in this one. It really is what it says. I know it is hard to choose from all the models on the internet, but this one is the real deal. It's worth the money if you have pain." —L Johnson

Seriously, it can wind its way around the legs of furniture or through nooks and crannies, without sacrificing any function!
Promising review: "I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" —Pond P.

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 three colors).
14. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers that has lots of reviewers raving about how they are an affordable alternative to a certain Lululemon cult-fave. If you've been looking for a pant that does it all, these are the perfect addition for your closet, keeping you comfortable no matter the weather or occasion.
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–XXL and 20 colors).
15. BYO Blush Oil, which is perfect for anyone sick of swatching blushes that end up too pigmented or not pigmented enough on their skin. This is designed to react with your skin's pH to deliver a customized color to your cheeks that's *Goldilocks voice* juuuuuuuust right.
Check out a TikTok of the BYO Blush in action.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord tried this out and here's what she has to say: "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

16. A rechargeable magnetic phone charger/hand warmer set in case the weather outside is frightful and your go-to gloves are...well, much cuter than actually functional. This unique set magnetizes together for you to warm your hands at once *or* you can separate them into pockets, giving your hands a much-needed cozy retreat from the cold. PLUS, both pieces can be used to charge, not one, but TWO, phones at once. I honestly can't think of a reason why you wouldn't dd this to your cart immediately.
Check out a TikTok of the hand warmer/phone charger in action.
It's designed with four warmth settings!
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but this product amazed me. I plan to buy a bunch for Christmas presents. Quality materials and function beautifully. I purchased for a winter trip but started using immediately during a cold snap. I walked around a lake in freezing conditions. Turned these on in my pockets and couldn’t believe how well they work. Things I love: You can adjust the heat settings easily with a rubbery push button that isn’t easily triggered. You can see which setting it’s on with 1–4 red lights. I did not wear gloves and tried out each setting. They warm up quickly. Lowest setting was not lukewarm but warm enough for cold pockets. The highest setting gets really hot. Almost too hot to hold directly without a glove but not so hot you’ll get burned. I love that you can take your hands out of your pockets and hold them easily because they have a grippy side. I walked around for a bit with my hands out of pockets, and they didn’t get cold." —Angela Gil
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in seven colors).
17. A reviewer-beloved electric painless hair remover because plucking, dermaplaning, and shaving can be super time consuming and sometimes you need a quick touch up before heading out. This electric trimmer works instantly and effortlessly, removing unwanted hair in seconds with a travel-friendly design you can literally carry with you on the go!
Promising review: "I have actually had mine for years. My cousin asked me about my clean face the other day, giving me the opportunity to tell her about it. I bought this one for her. It is easy to use, can be used anywhere, fits easily in small purses, is quiet and the battery life is good, besides being easy to clean. A must-have!" —Candy Osias

Promising review: "This was a perfect purse for traveling. It has three very spacious zippered pockets. I was able to carry my iPhone, AirPods, glasses (in their case), and mini coin purse that carries my cash, ID, and bank card. I loved that it had a long-enough strap to wear it like a crossbody bag. Good construction and material." —M. Steffes

21. A shampoo scalp massager designed to help you give your scalp the thorough exfoliation and massage it deserves, so you can *really* enjoy washing your hair at home with the quality head scratching of a salon. Not to mention, it'll also help your shampoo go a looooong way by distributing it evenly on your roots.
22. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set that's honestly ridiculously stylish, but also functional, making sure you have the correct knife for every cooking occasion while helping you avoid cross-contamination while you meal prep. Red for bread, green for meats, and orange for fruit? — life is truly sweet 🌈.
Included are a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. BTW, the holder shown above isn't included with the knife set, but you can grab an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like the reviewer above!
Promising review: "This is my best buy of the month, and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. I haven't had to sharpen them yet and I've been using them pretty steadily for about a month. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives." —GWP

23. A pair of pull-on Levi's jeans because comfort is the name of the game when it comes to adding apparel basics to your wardrobe. These must-have jeans will complement basically any top or tee in your closet, and you won't have to worry about any buttons gaping or digging into your belly by the end of a long day!
24. A bottle of Drop It, which is designed to help eliminate wine sulfates and tannins that can lead to the sometimes-debilitating wine headache. No, you don't have to give up wine as one of your resolutions. Instead, add a drop or two, so you can indulge with everyone else worry-free of what's to come.
The recommended amount is one to two drops for a glass of white and two to three 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! Is it possible these drops offer a placebo effect? Sure, but lots of reviewers swear they enjoy their wine a lot more and have fewer headaches afterward when using them!
Promising review: "For many years, I have been that friend who always says 'no thanks, I can't drink wine.' Even one small small glass would give me the worst migraine. So, I gave up. Several weeks ago, I happened across an ad for Drop It and thought I might as well give it a shot. I took a big risk the day it arrived and had two huge glasses of red wine that I knew would give me a massive migraine the next day. It just so happened I had a midterm that next morning too — so the stakes were high. I woke up feeling fantastic. Since then I have repeated the experiment (to make sure it wasn't a fluke) and found that no matter how much wine I drink, as long as I use the drops, I don't have a migraine the next day. I'm so pleased to have found something that makes wine drinking possible and enjoyable again! I have nothing but great things to say about the product. It's easy to use and very discreet. I visited some friends last week and we spent a few hours at a wine bar. It was easy to add my drops. I took a small taste of the wine before adding the drops and found that it did not alter the taste at all. Thanks for a great product and a great buying experience. I will be back for more." —Mackenzie
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
25. A dual hair dryer and brush if you want to make your daily routine even quicker. This beloved hair tool blow dries and styles hair at the same time thanks to three heat settings and an oval brush designed to help deliver volume and curling.

Promising review: "Best little ice cubes ever. They pop out of the tray really easily...especially after setting them out for a quick couple of minutes on the counter. Tipping the tray 30 degrees to level the water before putting in the freezer is a great tip from another review. The cubes are the perfect size to scoop into my homemade iced mochas." —Heather
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.98.
27. A must-have all-weather lace-up boot created with water-resistant leather for a durable and dependable shoe for any weather, TBH. It'll definitely stand up to the test of time, getting more and more comfortable with each wear.
28. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey if you constantly crave sweet and savory on your favorite foods. This must-have sauce will upgrade your meals with perfect blend of sweet honey and spicy chilies, and pizza will never be the same. Seriously.
29. A pickle keeper and juice strainer just perfect for anyone who loves pickles, olives, and other brined foods. This is designed to flip over and drain the juices from pickles, so you can simply grab one without ending up with juice all over your hands or dumping the whole jar. Looks like snacking just leveled up!
Check out a TikTok of the pickle juice strainer in action.
Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $12.95+.
30. A set of crop tops that has reviewers and TikTokers obsessed about for their compression design that offers support *and* comfort, so you can pretty much wear them anywhere, from your 6 AM hot yoga class to a late-night Target run. Plus, word on the street is they're a great affordable alternative to similar styles at Skims!
Promising review: "Love these! Skims alternative. I absolutely love the way these suck me in at the waist & also is flattering to my chest with no bra on! I am 220 lbs and 5’3", so I got waist length since it’s my preference. I looove these!" —JG

31. The Hatch Restore sound machine – it's designed to function as a sunrise alarm clock, reading light, and even a wind-down light at night thanks to its touch-controlled smart light. You might as well toss out that old-fashioned table lamp by your bedside in exchange for this genius product. Your sleeping habits will thank you, trust me.
32. A 40-pack of velvet scrunchies that comes in a literal rainbow assortment of colors, so you will never have to stress about making sure your high ponytail or bun is matching your outfit.
33. A bottle of truffle seasoning if you've been craving that truffle flavor, but your budget is screaming "absolutely not" at the thought of buying truffles from the market. This seasoning that users swear is worth gate-keeping offers that same delicious taste at a fraction of the price, so you'll end up bragging like, "Truffles? Oh, I put that ish on everything, no biggie."
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord had to say: "*wheezes in truffle* Okay, I bought this on a whim because there's a sushi place down the street from me that makes truffle avocado sushi rolls and I was like, I need these in my life, but I also need money to live. I decided to DIY it with a regular $4 avocado roll and this seasoning and the umami bliss of it all basically exploded my brain. Since then I've tried it on eggs, on burritos, on potatoes, on chocolate mug cakes, pretty much every sweet and savory thing I can think of. The best part is you really get an excellent bang for your buck — it's so flavorful that I've been using this for months now and have barely made a dent in the container!"
Promising review: "Yes, I'm a truffle lover to begin with. And, of course, only a truffle is a truffle. But I gotta tell ya this delectable heaven-sent powder is one heck of a more versatile option. Utterly AMAZING on popcorn, in eggs, added to soups and sauces to layer flavors, veggies, PASTA...the list is endless (I think the only thing I haven't tried was sprinkling it on ice cream...although LOL). It is a bit salty, so I advise testing the waters first. But I just ordered my ninth and tenth bottle of the Truffle Zest." —Greengirl
