1. A heated eye massager if tired eyes, headaches, migraines, or insomnia have entered the chat...oh adulthood. After a long day, this device can help relieve these issues. It has five different massage modes, a 15-minute timer, and Bluetooth capability so you can also play music to help you relax and kick back.
If you have any eye problems, talk with your doctor before using this.
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and, most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in black and pink).
2. An emergency car jump starter that also has a tire pump, four interchangeable air compressor nozzles, two USB ports, and an LED floodlight. Because, apparently being an adult comes with all sorts of responsibilities, one of which is planning for emergencies.
Check out a TikTok of the emergency power kit in action.
Promising review: "I would 1000% recommend this for anyone and everyone. My dad bought me one for Christmas and it has got me out of bad situations a couple of times. I have since bought one for everyone in the family and have recommended to the rest of the extended family. It comes in handy and can help avoid being in an unsafe situation where you are stranded and someone taking advantage of the situation. Not only does it charge your car battery but you can use it to emergency charge your phone or to plug in something during a trip. This one airs up tires. Just perfect." —SA Sunshine
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in six styles).
3. A pancake batter dispenser and mixer so you will actually get more batter on the griddle instead of all over your countertop (or clothes, if you're like me). Breakfast was so much easier when all we had to do was eat it! This is also great if you have little ones who like to help in the kitchen. You'll be able to mix and pour in one take with less dishes and less of a mess.
Promising review: "If you like to eat pancakes for breakfast a lot and want to avoid a lot of dishes, please get this! This is so worth it. I saw this on TikTok and had to get it. Just make sure you’re putting the amount of water that’s right for the amount you’re going to eat." —Buchii
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (also available as a pancake art kit and two colors).
4. A weighted fitness hoop if you want to put a new ~spin~ on your boring exercise routine. Do you remember when all we had to do was play outside to get in a good workout? Those were the days! If you're tired of mundane crunches, you can strengthen your core and help relieve lower back pain by twirling this around your hips.
This weighted exercise hoop can be adjusted to fit your waist. You spin it around like a hula hoop.
Promising review: "Like everyone else I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a shot. Super fun to use. I'll admit it's difficult to start but once you get the hang of it after a few minutes, it's super easy and fun. It is a little loud but nothing unbearable. The pieces are easy to add on, and the weight is not too heavy or light." —Richard Enriquez
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 14 colors).
5. A lightweight retractable folding stool because this can't be the same body that would wait on line for tickets for hours and hours, is it?! This portable and adjustabel stool can be taken anywhere so you can have a seat while waiting on a long line, traveling, or anywhere you need to take a break.
Check out a TikTok of the retractable stool in action.
Promising review: "As an engineer, I am a sucker for smart designs. And this is so ingenious, I was blown away. At 2.4 lbs, it's probably the lightest way of getting a portable seat. And it opens up literally in two seconds. No extending metal legs or having to press on metal clips to collapse them, as with regular travel stools. And it feels pretty sturdy, not wobbly at all when I sat on it. The 10" seat is just the right size for being comfortable. And it collapses in a 10" x 2.5" cylinder (also literally in two seconds) that fits in the outside pocket of my carry-on. You do need both hands, but that's true of any folding chair. Perfect for my wife who cannot stand for long in security or immigration lines. And you need hardly any space to set it up (unlike folding chair/stools). So perfect to open up when standing in busy lines." —Serge
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
6. A portable car vacuum, a must-have if you own a car. Who knew cars could get so dirty? You can quickly clean up spills and messes on the go and it's perfect if you have kids or pets that leave a trail of crumbs or fur behind. It's lightweight and comes with three different attachments. And it can plug into your vehicle's 12V aux outlet.
Promising review: "This portable vacuum is ammmmmazing! I love all of the attachments to get the hard-to-reach spots! It gets the job done! TikTok made me buy it! If you are on the fence about this one... do it! Hit that "buy now" button. You will not be disappointed. Never putting quarters in a timed vacuum again. There is never enough time, and you rush around trying to beat the timer. Or is that just me? Haha." —Abigail
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and a cordless version).
7. A Take-n-Slide medication tracker because it puts an end to wondering if you took your pills today or if you're just having a flashback about taking them yesterday.
See it in action on TikTok here.
These are reusable and stick right on the side of your medication bottles.
Promising review: "This product has helped me SO much. I forget things a lot and forget to take my medications far too often. I was hesitant because of the price, but i am incredibly happy with this purchase. I would go as far as saying it has been one of the best things i’ve ever ordered. It is very easy to use, sticks well, and i’ve reused it on multiple bottles already. Id imagine at some point the stickiness will wear off, but I’m going to use glue dots then. And I will absolutely buy again. These are lifesavers… literally, for me. If you’re on the fence about getting these, let this be your sign. I am really grateful for these. :-)" —Lexie P
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99.
8. A "Worky" station, aka a 15-in-1 portable desktop that'll upgrade your whole WFH life. This station comes with storage compartments for files and tech accessories, a magnetic dry erase board, two standard outlets, two USB ports, and a built-in LED light. You can switch rooms or take your work anywhere easily because you just fold and go.
Worky is a small business that specializes in products to improve remote working experiences.
Check out a TikTok of the Worky station in action.
Promising review: "I've had my Worky for three months now and have loved it. I love that everything is in one place and then I can close it up and work disappears. The compartments are great for tucking away piles of paperwork, the multiple charging outlets are convenient and the LED lights are helpful on Zoom calls when lighting in the room are not ideal. Everything in one place, simple and convenient. Just the way I like it." —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $134.97.
9. A complete cutting board set to help you chop and store your ingredients when you're making meals. Cooking seemed so much easier when all I did was watch and complain about being hungry. This makes prepping easier because it has four compartments underneath and includes four graters to help you slice, dice, a peel veggies. Now, you won't have a huge pile of food on a small cutting board and have to do a juggling act to add them to your pot.
See it in action on TikTok here.
You get four varied stainless-steel graters, four storage containers, four plastic insert boards that have different corresponding food icons, and a bamboo spoon.
Promising review: "I invested in this cutting board instead of having three or four different ones, and it's worth it. It’s super sturdy and easy to clean. I love that it catches my produce as I’m cutting it up right there and then. It’s really a one stop shop. Exactly what I was looking for. Truly satisfied" —Kiisey
Get it from Amazon for $69.99.
10. A "Bagnet," which is exactly how it sounds: a magnet for your bag. As I navigate being a whole grownup, I've found that I carry way more stuff than when I was younger. So, going without a purse isn't ideal. Now, you'll be able to hang your bag in restrooms and restaurants without it touching the dirty floor.
Bagnet is a woman-owned small business that specializes in magnetic bag holders and handbags.
Check out a TikTok of the Bagnet in action.
Promising review: "This is the best bag holder ever! I was completely blown away, the magnet is SO strong. Works in so many places, in restrooms (try the hinges if the door isn't metal), at restaurants (on tables, chairs, even under the table), at the gym to hold my water bottle and keys so they don't end up on the floor. But my absolute favorite place to use it is on my car! I can attach it to the side of my car while I unlock it without having my hands full and leaving me vulnerable. If you have ever felt nervous trying to fumble with all your stuff while trying to unlock your doors in a dark parking lot, you need this! My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I am going to get one for everyone in my life for Christmas. Any person who carries a bag should have one (or two). Seriously, it's life changing." —robert rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $23.19.
11. A tub of TikTok famous The Pink Stuff, because it feels like half of being an adult consists of cleaning up messes. And man, there are a lot of messes! This stuff basically cleans anything — pans, sinks, floors, walls. It makes grease, grime, and dirt disappear.
See it in action on TikTok here!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Brittany Ross says: "After seeing countless videos on cleaning TikTok that raved about The Pink Stuff, I knew I had to try it out on my stained, grime-coated sheet tray. I mean, if it could make a dent in that, I'd probably believe in magic. Well, I started scrubbing one corner as a test, and lo and behold, the difference was nothing short of DRAMATIC (check out the photos for proof!). And I didn't even have to scrub very hard, though as someone with ~minimal~ upper body strength, I doubt any force I could physically apply would even constitute as heavy scrubbing. At any rate, it worked so well that I tried it on a pair of dirty tennis shoes and a blue stain that had been singed onto my toaster oven for months, and, yup, it worked. I will say, if you want your sheet trays to look brand spankin' new, you might need one of those cleaning scraper tools to get every last bit off, but as far as general stain removal goes, consider me a FAN."
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
12. Wad-Free, if you're tired of all of the trouble that comes along with washing your sheets. This makes laundry day more manageable because it attaches to the corners to help your sheets dry faster and prevent them from becoming a tangled mess.
Plus, they're BPA-free, reusable, and created by a small business during the pandemic.
Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in a four-pack).
13. Keurig cleaning cups that'll keep your beloved coffee maker in tip top shape so you can fully enjoy your morning cup of joe. All you have to do is pop one of these pods in your machine and it will clean out all the built-up gunk you never even knew existed.
Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend, keeps everything runny correctly and clean." —Lauren
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in a 12-pack).
14. A clear toy blocker if you're tired of searching for you kid's (or pet's) toys in the dark abyss under your furniture and appliances. Or just dropping things that you can never find again. This comes in two heights and can be cut to fit into various spaces.
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "A must-have for ALL pet owners. This contraption is genius and will save cat (and dog) owners so much time and frustration retrieving toys. We used this beneath our oven and it works PERFECTLY. Cat can't destroy it (the way she shredded the foam insulation we had stuffed under there before) and we no longer have to get the yardstick out when literally all of her toys are 'gone.' Yes, this is a challenge to install, but 100% worth it. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat." —Allison Goldstein
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in three sizes).
15. A pack of detergent cup holders to prevent any drips from getting all over your floors. If laundry has taken over your life (because, same), you know that placing the cap back on the detergent just leads to a mess. This genius device stores the cup and catches all that before it makes a soapy puddle.
Tidy-Cup is a woman-owned small business started after the founder, Julie Reinhold, was tired of detergent containers dripping all over her laundry room floor.
Promising review: "I had no idea I needed this until I saw it on TikTok. Listen, it’s the little things that matter. This little thing saves me the headache of a laundry room mess. I love it. Fits perfectly on my liquid detergent. No more messes!" —Luke & Christina
Get a set it from Amazon for $12.77+ (also available in a two-pack).
16. A can of fume-free oven cleaner if you find yourself staring at your dirty stove wondering how you became the one in charge of cleaning it — because same! It can be intimidating to attempt to clean stuck-on messes but this cleaner practically dissolves stains so you can just wipe them away.
Promising review: "I saw this on a TikTok. I have used Easy Off in the past but hated the smell. This is so much better and let me tell you I am super sensitive to smells. Works great in the oven, and also as I saw on the video works great in shower stalls and tubs!" —Amy L Viau
Get it from Amazon for $11.59.
17. A Takeya cold brew maker because being an adult is hard but somehow an iced coffee makes it all better (well, for a while at least). Maybe it's the sound of the ice swishing in the cup...IDK, but it's the ultimate pick-me-up. Now, you'll be able to make your fave cold bev at home.
All you have to do is add 6 tablespoons of your favorite ground coffee in the filter, fill it with water, and let it sit in your fridge for 24 hours. Then just take the filter out of the pitcher and enjoy your coffee.
Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily, but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option), so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts every morning. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin Donuts, but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME. I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok, and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment three-quarters full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid, screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment i've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

18. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover that has almost 60,000 5-star ratings because it can make any stain (even set in stains) vanish in just seconds. So, when you're looking around for the person in charge of cleaning up a spaghetti spill and realize it's actually you, you'll have this to save the day.
Promising review: “OMG! We had a new puppy, and she had accidents in my daughters white carpet. I had tried everything and was going to replace the carpet when I came across a TikTok of this being used. After one treatment, the stains are gone! GONE!” —Karen Day
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in three sizes and in various multi-packs).
19. A nonstick microwave pasta cooker if you need to make dinner but barely have the energy to wait for a pot of water to boil after a long day. All you have to do is add your pasta and fill water up to the line according to the instructions included and microwave for about 12-13 mins.
See how one TikToker uses it here!
It also doubles as a strainer, and you can use the holes in the lid to portion out long pastas.
Promising reviews: "I found out about this on TikTok and decided to give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! This pasta cooker is incredibly versatile and cooks pasta perfectly. Just by following the instructions to add pasta and water and using the appropriate cooking time, I've been able to make spaghetti, penne and even shells for Velveeta mac 'n' cheese! I decided to buy a second one to keep just in case. I would definitely recommend getting this for yourself or for a gift." —Gaby Brillante
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
20. Cleaning putty because although cleaning is a big part of being an adult (total scam!), it doesn't have to be boring. This slime-like cleaner gets in all the small spaces where dust, crumbs, and hair accumulate. It'll remind your of the putty you played with as a child while helping you finally clean your keyboard and air vents.
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it says it does. I recently got a new car and was looking for something to easily put I up dust. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. It’s also great for the though screen in my car! The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn’t last, just when it’s out of the container!" —Loren
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
21. An acupressure mat and pillow set that has over 7,000 acupressure points to sooth all the aches and pains that come along with being an adult. So, when you somehow end up sleeping ~the wrong way~ and wake up feeling stiff, this set can relieve muscle tension, relax your muscles, and reduce back pain.
Promising review: "Honestly a friend sent me a TikTok video on this item. I was like for 20 bucks I'll try it, and oh my god, I have lower back problems and 20 minutes lying on this spiking mat helped relieve pressure. I work remotely and am sitting down for 8 to 10 hours a day, so tension builds up and this totally worked. So many ways to try using the mat." —Arlington Ink
Get it from Amazon for $23.64+ (available in eight colors).
22. A pet hair remover if you're parents didn't allow you to have a pet when you were a kid because they said it would be too much work and now you have a fur-baby and it's...a lot of work (guilty!). If your cat or dog leaves a trail of fur behind on everything from the couch to your bed, all you have to do is roll this back and forth and it'll grab every piece of hair off of your furniture. The best part? Unlike a lint brush, this is reusable!
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising reviews: "I saw this item on TikTok and ran to Amazon to buy it. I got it with same-day shipping and INSTANTLY started using it out of the box. When I say I’m honestly obsessed. I've finally found a product that was wellllll worth the money." —shae
"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
Get it from Amazon for $31.95.
23. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser that's the best thing since sliced bread because it'll keep your loaves fresher for longer than if you kept it in the bag alone. This airtight container also lets you use the bread bag to dispense slices one by one. So, when you're ready to make yourself an adult Lunchable, (or pack lunches for your household) you'll never have to deal with stale bread again.
Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.
Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig
Get it from Amazon for $12.38.
24. Dawn dishwashing spray if you don't want to spend hours soaking and scrubbing dishes. Who knew there would be so many dishes when we grew up?! I mean, I totally thought I'd have my own Rosie from The Jetsons to handle this when I was an adult. But since that hasn't happened — this cleaner practically does all the work for you by breaking down grease on contact. All you have to is spray, allow the suds to sit for a few minutes, and then wash away messes.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising reviews: "Best cleaning product I have ever used. TikTok doesn’t lie…on this one at least." —R. Oakeson
"When I first saw this, I thought, 'Are you kidding? It's dish soap; how much messing around with it do you have to do? Aren't squirt bottles enough?' Then I tried it and, well...no. Powerwash is the bee's knees for degreasing just about everything, from oily salad bowls to greasy pots and pans. It cleans just about everything else instantly without hard scrubbing (or ANY scrubbing)...and when you're done, give the sink a couple of spritzes to remove any slick residue. My old squirt bottle can't do that." —Stormvoël
Get a bottle and three refills from Amazon for $22.
25. A set of double shower curtain hooks because who knew putting on a shower curtain could be so darn complicated? These hooks make this task way easier because it won't pop off like traditional rings and you can even change the liner without taking off the shower curtain.
Promising review: "I hate changing out the liner on my shower because it meant I had to remove the curtain too. Not any more! I saw this set of hooks in a TikTok review. Now I can swap out the liner with ease. The hooks also slide on the curtain rod very easily, no tugging." —Christina
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.49 (available in 10 colors).
26. A two-pack of TikTok-famous Dan-O's seasoning that are low in sodium but full of flavor. If you don't want to spend time thinking about various seasoning combos, this takes all the guess work out for you. You can add this to everything from fish to meats and even veggies. These all natural seasonings are made with dried herbs, citrus, and granulated onion and garlic for more delish dishes.
Dan O's Seasoning is a small biz that has over three million followers on TikTok because of their yummy food content.
Promising review: "I saw this seasoning on TikTok (like most of you probably have), I didn’t believe the hype at first. I got the two pack to try. This stuff is amazing!! I love it! It is so good on everything! Can’t believe that it is low sodium because it doesn’t taste like it. I like to add the spicy Dan-O’s to a pizza with pineapple and bacon on it, turns it up to 11!!! I will be ordering more as soon as the stuff I have runs out, for sure!!" —Mike
Get a pack of two (one original, one spicy) from Amazon for $14.44.
27. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you WFH and need to stay "active" online but really need to make a quick run for some coffee to get through your day. This prevents your computer from going to sleep by randomly moving your mouse. So, when that quick coffee run turns into *I'll just take quick peek in Target* you'll be covered.
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams' green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six styles).
28. A glow-in-the-dark protective Fire TV Stick case so you can solve the mystery of the missing remote in the dark quickly. One thing about being a grownup is somehow you become the one in charge of finding lost things, who knew? This makes locating your remote, that always seems to disappear, easier. And it has anti-slip ridges it's less likely to fall into the dark abyss...I mean, in between your cushions.
This case also comes with a lanyard.
Check out a TikTok of the glow-in-the-dark case in action.
Promising review: "It’s a thin silicone case that slips right on and has holes for all buttons and the microphone in the right places. It also has raised dots on the back to make it easy to grip. With the easy to see color, I no longer lose my remote in the couch cushions. Highly recommend." —S. Mizrahi
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ ( also available two colors that do not glow-in-the-dark).
29. A battery organizer because part of being a grownup is having a junk drawer full of batteries (I don't make the rules!). This hardshell case keeps all your batteries neatly organized and it has a tester so you can know which batteries are still good.
Get a closer look at this organizer on TikTok.
Promising review: "Love that there is a battery tester and custom-cut holes for various batteries. I love that everything is organized instead of having to dig through the junk drawer.

Get it from Amazon for $29.98.
30. An under-cabinet lid opener for anyone who thought becoming an adult meant you'd develop super strength but in reality you struggle to open a jar of spaghetti sauce (ok, I'm talking to myself here). This device makes it way easier to pop open a jar without having to strain your wrists or bruise your ego when you try to find someone to open it for you.
Check out a TikTok of the jar opener in action or checkout BuzzFeed's review of the EZ Off Jar Opener.
Promising review: "I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help in opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters. There was one person who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the 'V' closest to you and with it placed in the front, in the right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions, and it works perfectly and easily. I have already placed an order for another one for a gift or for my sister." —cat lover
