1. An aftercare oil that may help reduce the appearance of keloids, bumps, and scars associated with new and old piercings.
Note: This product is not an overnight miracle. Apply this 2–3 times a day, be patient, and you may start to see the results.
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it and in less than two weeks my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" —Jordan Caprigno
Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).
2. A slicker brush for breathing new life into faux-fur throw blankets, fleece jackets, and all of your other soft and cozy belongings in need of a refresh.
Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful, charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet onto them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, now my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. And honestly, did I even get everything out? So after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I did have to keep cleaning off the brush (from all the fibers and dirt that accumulated), but that's super easy. No different than my own hair brush. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" —Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
3. A set of jean button pins that'll allow you to either add an extra inch or bring your jeans in an inch. This is great if you realized after taking the tag off your new denim bottoms that they're not *quite* the perfect fit or if you discovered an old pair in your wardrobe that could use a tad bit of adjusting to be wearable again.
Promising review: "There are the best things ever. I have jeans that fit great but the waist is always too loose. So I saw these on TikTok, and I was so curious to see if they worked or not. But seriously, you need to buy these, the buttons are great material and just the most useful things overall." —Alexa Botello
Get a set of 8 from Amazon for $5.99 (available in two different patterns).
4. A nail and cuticle care solution for making your nails look fresh and healthy with consistent use over time — just apply a coat and let it wow you!
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I've always had acrylic or dipped nails because my real nails have always been brittle and always break and peel. I decided to give my nails a break and wanted to try and grow them out. I can't even believe the outcome! They are stronger than ever and growing! I really wish I had taken a before pic to show the difference!" —JOE D.
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
5. A weekly pill organizer so you can plan out your meds by day of the week AND time of day. If you're anything like me and your nightly routine involves trying to recall if you took your 24-hour allergy pill or you'll have to suffer a night filled with sniffles, then you need this thing.
Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure, but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues.
Promising review: "Love this thing!!! I'm only 30 and didn't want an old lady pill box...this one was modern and cool. The little slots to push in pills is fantastic and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one days worth of pills, set it on my counter and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" —Chicken McNugget
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four colors).
6. A tumbler zipper pouch for attaching to the side of your favorite drink cup and holding your smol (but important belongings like $$, a credit card, a license, lip balm, earbuds, keys, etc.).
Made With Mom Mom is a small business based out of Selma, North Carolina that sells Stanley cup accessories. If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon just yet, you can get your own 40-oz Stanley Quencher Travel Tumbler from their site (limited colors are available right now because they sell out so quickly)!
Promising review: "Used for labor and delivery and it was fantastic to keep my ChapStick and hand sanitizer in but being easily accessible!" —Peyton White
Get it from Made With Mom Mom on Etsy for $20+ (available in 11 colors).
7. A pet hair roller you simply swipe over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie. It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers!
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" —shelby cipolla
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
8. An easy root touch-up kit to make maintaining your gorg hair color a breeze. This is great if your color is starting to fade a bit or a few gray hairs are peeking their way through and you'd like to cover them up a bit.
Promising review: "This is my go-to product to save me money so I don't have to go to the salon every month. Buys me a couple of months in between professional coloring. This is really easy to apply and I never have a problem matching whatever shade the salon uses on my hair." —Amanda Scott
Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (available in nine colors).
9. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to scrub...like...at all. Just rinse it the next day and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too.
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents, a refill size, and a two-pack).
10. A soft seat belt cover because the year is 2024 and automobile manufacturers still insist on make seatbelt fabric uncomfy and kinda pointy. Luckily, this shoulder pad will feel much nicer against your skin — just here to help make something so important for your safety a whole lot more comfy!
Promising review: "These are great! I purchased another brand two or three years ago, and it worked just fine, and it wasn’t rough, but it certainly wasn’t soft. These are almost quilted and super soft. It’s a noticeable difference, and they work really well! I get skin tags from my seatbelt rubbing against my neck and in general these solve the problems, but I’ve been using the softer one for well over a month now and it’s even better." —KE J.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 13 colors).
11. Cleaning tablets that'll make you realize the important task of sanitizing your retainer, dentures, night guard, or any other dental appliances you may use can be quick and easy. Simply drop a tablet along with your dental appliance into warm water and let it soak!
Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars I would have." —Lisa R.

Promising review: "Thought I was having problems with my machine. Used two cups to flush the entire coffee maker out and it started working like new. Totally satisfied!" —Dara Pazooki

13. A slide-and-store mat you'll wonder how you ever got by without. The mat work GREAT as a play mat. After playtime is finished, simply pull the drawstring handles to gather all the toys in, and voila, your space is tidy!
Promising review: "I really like this for my kid's Duplo Lego bricks but I think it could be used for a lot more than that. I want to get one for my kid's train track. The fabric part is really large and would fit the track on it. I found the cleanup is extremely easy; all you do is lift up the fabric and it all goes in the bin. An added bonus, my 2-year-old can dump over the bin and it stays on the fabric part. I also would like to add that I like the fabric on the outside of the bin; it looks durable and good quality." —KFundy
Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in three colors).
14. An ultra-absorbent stone bath mat because, like, we're not trying to call you or your bathmat out, but, have you noticed it takes hours for your current one to dry? Have you also faced the struggle of going to the bathroom a few hours post shower, stepping on the mat in your fresh socks, and having to change them because they got wet? Then it might be time to upgrade to this baby that dries in SECONDS.

Promising review: "We LOVE our drying mat. It's larger than most typical drying mats, at least the ones used to dry your dishes on, and I'm glad I can finally stop using a bunch of towels all over my kitchen counter to hold dishes. It's a firm board so I can stack things much easier on it. It absorbs really quickly, doesn't hold a smell, and looks great in our kitchen. We are so pleased with how durable it is and I know it will last us a really long time. Can't wait to invite guests over so I can show them how amazing it is!" —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $57.78.
15. A pair of brief undies designed for women of color because nude undies are supposed to align with your skin tone and many brands still unfortunately don't offer enough variety in that department.
Nubian Skin is a woman-owned small biz that sells skin-toned undergarments!
Promising review: "I bought this brief and will be purchasing it again! The fabric is incredibly amazing and perfect for any outfit. The best part: no VPL! Loved it." —S.N.

Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers.
Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc., close by, even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
17. A set of NoNo brackets that'll make putting up curtains over your windows a piece of cake. Who wants to deal with drill-in rods or risking damage to the walls? Not me!

Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.95 (available in a variety of colors).
18. Earbud cleaning putty because in between your millionth audiobook listen of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and crying along to your zillionth stream of the 10-minute version of "All Too Well," you should give your headphones a much-needed clean from earwax and dust.
Promising review: "After seeing this on BuzzFeed and looking at the reviews along the way, I literally bought this because of another review that said it fixed her muffled iPhone 11. So glad I did!! I had the exact same issue with hearing people on my iPhone 11 and was SO frustrated. But this worked instantly. Stuffed a square of the putty into the very small receiver you hear out of and for the first time in months I can hear people clearly and loudly out of my iPhone without being on speakerphone. I am so happy I don't have to get a new phone. I used them to clean my AirPods as well; it was good to see all the gunk come out despite not having an issue with sound for them. Definitely a great purchase." —jtd
Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $15.99.
19. A DogBuddy leash attachment that doubles as a pooper scooper AND a poop bag holder. This thing is gonna be your new favorite companion while walking your dog.
DogBuddy is a small business specializing in pet care products including bowls, mats, and scoopers.
Promising review: "I normally don’t leave reviews but this is amazing! It’s easy to use and saves so many dog bags if you’re taking a number of dogs on a walk because you don’t need to open a new bag for each poop. It also makes the whole process a lot less gross. I would 100% recommend this for dog walks and even picking up poop in the backyard. It holds a lot more than you’d think!" —Joslyn Cavitt
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).
20. A twice-daily antiperspirant hand lotion made with eucalyptus oil and absorbing powders to help provide relief to sweat-prone hands.
Read more about the use of antiperspirants to manage symptoms of hyperhidrosis at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shook a hand outside of mine ever before in his life...it broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment up with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now and it is working AMAZING." —HECTOR LORENZO
Get it from Amazon for $15.96 (available in two scents).
21. An ingrown hair oil whose combo of jojoba, grapeseed, and tea tree oils may help reduce the appearance and soften the skin around post-shaving and waxing bumps, ingrown hairs, and redness.
22. A veggie chopper for those who wanna cook homemade meals, but are so daunted by the thought of prepping the ingredients, they're already ordering Seamless a fourth night in a row.
Fullstar is a small biz that specializes in super useful kitchen gadgets!
I LIKE cooking — in fact, I love it. You know what I don't like? Trying to prep all my ingredients when cutting onions hurts my eyes and my kitchen surface space is practically non-existent. This veggie chopper is a game changer, even my mom asked for one as a Mother's Day gift last year. Just be careful with the blades because the first time I used it, I underestimated how sharp the blades really are and well...let's just say, I was thisssss 🤏 close to having to go to the ER and get stitches. Yeah, not fun.
Promising reviews: "I bought this to ease my chopping. I have a large family that I cook for and spending anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour sometimes just chopping things was extremely exhausting. I have used this multiple times since I've purchased this and I am grateful. It was easy to use and the clean up was a lot faster than normal." —Jameelah Sheffield
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors and five sizes).
23. Wad-Free, a truly wonderful creation that'll stop bed sheets from getting all tangled and twisted in the washer and dryer. In turn, this will help ensure that your sheets, and the other items that frequently get caught in them, come out cleaner. I don't know about you, but I'm all too familiar with finding a soaking wet sock or shirt caught in the crevices of my bed sheets and having to put them back in the dryer and it's SO. VERY. ANNOYING!
If you watch Shark Tank, then this product may look familiar to you! Kevin and Lori both made offers, but the founder picked Mr. Wonderful. These are reusable and BPA-free! Wad-Free is a woman-owned small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi Bray, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

24. A Febreze car odor eliminator you simply clip on your vehicle's air vent and let do the work of masking the lingering evidence of last night's midnight Taco Bell run.
25. A toenail clipper created with thick and ingrown toenails in mind. If you're someone who can barely entertain the thought of using a regular nail clipper because it just does not cooperate with your little piggies, this is gonna be super helpful!
Here's why my BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Emma Lord loves this thing: "Hello, my toenails are problem children for two reasons: One is that they're kinda thick, the other is that I'm a long-distance runner, which doesn't play nice with toenails. I bought this recently and the difference it made immediately was ENORMOUS. Like I usually dread approaching my big toenails because they are so thick, but these painlessly and seamlessly lobbed the tops right off; I was also able to ~gently correct~ a toenail that was starting to get ingrown and help cut down a dead toenail that needed trimming but would have been painful to approach with a regular clipper."
Promising review: "We bought this for our teen grandson to use for an ingrown toenail because he was not able to go to a nail salon that he trusted to fix this problem. It worked perfectly. He was so pleased with the result as it took care of his painful problem! Thank you for making a fantastic product. Every household should own one!" —T.S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
26. A faucet splash catcher to help finally solve the pesky issue that is water from your kitchen sink leaving puddles on your counter.
Hustle & Sew is a small biz based in Saint Helens, Oregon that sells handmade goods you can opt to get personalized!
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina
Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
27. Tongue scrapers so you can not only help reduce the bad breath tied with having gunk on your tongue, but also ensure your selfie game is yuck-free, and really, which is more important? (OK fine, it's the bad breath.)
Read more about tongue scraping at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I have gone 30 years of my life having the worst breath known to man. I would brush and brush, and within 20 minutes, I'd be back to the same. I never knew how to get rid of it. Then, I came upon this little item on Amazon. I decided to give it a try because I figured I've tried everything else. Wow, just, wow...I couldn't believe how much crap this thing was pulling off my tongue. Seriously, if you have suffered from bad breath, give this a try. You will not regret it." —Me
Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in larger pack sizes).
28. A pack of hair-drying scrunchies for those who know that sometimes there's just no time to towel or blow-dry your hair between showering and having to head out the door. Just tie your hair up with one of these babies and let it do the work for you. Psst — these are also great for bringing to the pool or beach.
Kitsch is a woman-owned biz based in LA that sells hair products!
Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." —Meghan
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors and designs).
29. A pair of long silicone oven mitts because even though your hands are picking up the food, your arm is still exposed to the hot oven temps, too, and we want to be sure you have a little extra protection. These are also handy for when you barbecue and the grill does that thing where fire flares up.
Plus, they're heat-resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these oven mitts! It's one of those kitchen items that are a MUST, but always put off purchasing. I had a criteria of what I wanted in mitts and found them. The mitts do everything they say they do and that's keeping my hands and arms safe. I highly recommend them." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $21.25+ (available in 2 sizes and 11 colors).

Promising review: "Very solid product. It does exactly what it claims to do. It snaps on to any can I have easily, then opens and closes shut again for storage in my fridge. As you can see in my pictures, it’s leakproof when closed. I think it will be a great addition to my kitchen." —w_starling
