I really want to gatekeep, but I've decided to share these fan-fave gems with you.
1. A pair of sheepskin sole inserts if the current soles of your slippers have seen better days...to put it lightly. These are a quick and easy way to give them a quick refresh without having to spend $$$ to replace them entirely or bring them to an expensive shoemaker.
Promising review: "These fit nicely, are super comfortable, and have vastly reduced the need to always wear socks, even with boots in the bitter cold of winter. Because they are actually genuine sheepskin (and quite lush,) they help regulate body temperature and wick away moisture so they are quite comfortable to wear, be it winter or summer, as well as very easy to maintain. While not a requirement, they do have cushioned arch support, which seems to be just enough. Incredibly helpful for managing the effects of Raynaud's on the feet throughout the year!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–12 and men's sizes 8–12).
2. A Briotech spray reviewers say is a GREAT alternative to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray — both are formulated with hypochlorous acid to help calm inflammation and redness. Need a refresh after a long flight? Springtime allergies irritating your skin earlier than usual this year? Just give your skin a little spritz and bask in the relief!
BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings.
Promising review:"What is this sorcery?OK, so I’m not gonna lie. I thought all of the before and after pics were fake, but I was desperate, so I bought this stuff anyway. I had been dealing with an irritation bump for almost three months that I couldn’t get rid of, so I did some research and tried a variety of home remedies, none of which worked. Then I stumbled upon the Briotech spray and saw the before and after pictures and wanted soooo badly to believe them. I also didn’t want to get my hopes up, so I wrote them off as fake. I bought this stuff anyway (again, I was desperate), and I’m SO glad I did.I bought it on Sept. 5, and my bump (which was huge and awful) was completely gone on Sept. 25.I’m still in shock that it worked, but I’m so happy it did. Buy this! Stick with it, and I promise you won’t regret it!" —iamericadelaney

3. A Squishmallow pet bed because your furry BFF deserves to join in on the fun your Squishmallow collection has given you these past few years. Now the question is, who will enjoy this bed more? Your pet or you?!!!
Promising review:"This is my first and only Squishmallow product, and honestly, I love it!It is as soft as expected from the brand, but I'm also very impressed with how sturdy the bottom is. Most of the bottoms of my dogs' beds are made of fabric, but the bottom of this bed is pretty firm and tough. I'm no dog-bed expert, but from a loving dog parent, I'm verysatisfied." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $31.49+ (available in four sizes and 13 shapes).
4. Water storing crystals you can think of as magic fairy dust for your plants because it helps to prevent over- and underwatering your flora bb's. Like Goldilocks, they prefer their water consumption level to be *juuuuuust riiiiiight*.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
This works for both indoor and outdoor plants.
Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes, and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous, even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." —Pattijwr
Get it from Amazon for $10.38+(also available in multi-packs).
5. A cold brew maker that lets you skip the coffee shop line and the watered-down iced coffee struggle. Just add your grounds, let it steep, and wake up to smooth, strong cold brew — no fancy barista skills required. Bonus: The mason jar design will look super aesthetic in your kitchen.
Promising review: "This is the best way to have coffee without the acid and still have the caffeine. Easy to use and so much cheaper than buying cold brew coffee. I have bought several over the years for friends. I’ve owned mine now for four years and still love it." —Terry
Get it from Amazon for$24.99+ (available in two sizes and four styles).
6. Ahydrating multi-balm stickfeaturing a portable design that's super easy to bring on the go any time your face is in need of a lil' moisture boost.

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!!In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me; will def try the others!" —Kristy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven styles).
7. An infinity neck pillow you'll never want to travel without again. Trying to take a nap when you're on a plane, on a bus, or in the back seat of a car is TOUGH! Trying to find a comfy position, the crying baby a few rows up, etc. While this pillow can't take care of the crying baby, it can help you get into a more comfy position for the ultimate travel nap.
This thing is basically a plush infinity scarf made with breathable, soft bamboo fabric. It's machine washable, so you can keep it fresh between trips.
Promising review: "We got a few different types of travel pillows for a red-eye to Europe and this was overall our favorite due to its versatility.The loop actuallyallows you to have various self-supporting positions, and this will contort all sorts of ways to be a pillow, neck rest, armrest…anything.It’s actually just good for any type of travel in general and got a lot of use on the whole trip. The material is soft and comfortable." —Tom Shaw
Get it from Amazon for $54.50(available in nine colors).
8. Aclear gelfor keeping valuable (and breakable items) set nice and sturdy where you want them. Playful pets who like to jump and knock things over, curious kiddo hands, and even natural phenomena like earthquakes are no match now for this powerful paste.
Promising review: "A little goes a long way, and it works perfectly! We needed this for Southern California's earthquake-prone geography and the glass art on glass shelves. We were able to affix the gel easily, and everything stays put now. You can barely see the gel through the glass shelf. The amount you need is very small, so I nearly have a full container left, and I was able to attach all the items shown in this picture. I could have done 10–15 sets of shelves just like this." —Karen Gunther
Get it from Amazon for $11.30.
9. A showerhead with filter beads designed to help out filter out chlorine, fluoride, and heavy metals from the water. Best of all, this bb will put your current (and old) showerhead to shame — it's made with 305 tiny, closely-spaced nozzles for more powerful water pressure and has three spray modes (power rain, massage, and a rain and massage combo). Think of all the relaxing showers to come!!!
The beads need to be replaced every 6–8 weeks. You can buy more here.
Promising review: "This showerhead is awesome! I didn’t want to give in to 'TikTok made me buy it,' but it’s worth it! My body can feel the difference in the water quality! So worth it." —Dianna Ludlow-Arreola
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+(available in seven styles).
10. A pack ofdisposable shower hair catchersyou simply place over your drain so your hair doesn't go down and clog it. Peel and toss when it's full, and replace it with a new one! No snaking needed! And a heck of a lot cheaper than having to make an emergency call to the plumber!
Amazon
Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So, THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." —MER

11. A retinol body lotion that gives your skin the VIP treatment without the high-maintenance routine. It hydrates, smooths, and actually sinks in, so you’re not stuck doing that awkward “waiting for lotion to dry” dance. Your arms and legs deserve just as much love as your face!!!!
Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion.After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft, moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all.This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational. It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTockAlice
Get it from Amazon for $19.99(available in eight scents).
12. Arechargeable electric candle lighterdesigned with a super smart flexible neck so you can enjoy the coziness of your favorite candles (even the ones whose wicks are now DEEP in the jar) without your fingers getting too close. Plus, it's windproof which will come in handy for outdoor bonfires and candles, too!
This usesplasma flameless arc technology to create an electric spark that can ignite flammable materials, so no butane or flame is involved!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. I Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S.
Get it from Amazon for$9.99+ (available in eight colors and two packs).
13. A Mac keyboard shortcut sticker if trying to remember all the technological tricks the kids are keeping up with these days is just one big question mark in your brain. Instead of attempting to memorize (and failing) all the different key combinations and what they do or having to pull up a new Google tab each time, just give this sticker a quick check and you're g2g!
Amazon
Promising review: "Literally for any new or old Mac user, or even a user who's used to any type of device other than Apple! Super helpful for how to copy and paste and do other minor tasks!I mainly use the mouse pad on the laptop, so as my hands rub or grace over the sticker,it has never come off or ripped off at any point in time.It is perfectly still down to the computer part, and I’ve had this for over a year now!! 10/10 recommend!🩷" —Reyn
Get it from Amazon for $6.95 (available in eight styles).
14. A pack of refrigerator door handles perfect for anyone who's tired of sticky post-eating fingers (or just fingerprints in general) leaving behind marks galore on their stainless-steel fridge/freezer doors. Raise your hand if you're also a childless adult who accidentally created a sticky mess on the fridge doors in search of the milk carton after eating a PB&J!🙋♀️
Psst — these use Velcro for a perfect fit on every handle!
Promising review: "Keeps my handles clean! What a game changer! These are the softest covers. Love how they just blend in with my stainless-steel fridge. If you own a stainless-steel fridge, 'stainless' is not true with the handles. These covers will change your life!!!!" —Debby from Warren

These little puffs work wonders!I love that it has the pointed end to really get under the eye and around the nose.You can't beat the price and they help with a flawless powder application.Just buy them." —Tayler
Get a set of six from Amazon for$5.99(available in 13 sets).
16. A microwave pasta cooker because the last thing you feel like doing after a long day at the office is cooking, we get it!!! No judgment here, but...well...why spend all that money on a Seamless pasta order when you can just pop your noods into the microwave and then stir with your favorite jarred sauce? That's money you can spend on more important things like Harry Styles' next tour.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributorKaty HermanLOVES the Fasta Pasta and had this to say:
"Two of the most basic facts about me are that 1) I love pasta and 2) I'm lazy as heck. Cooking pasta is pretty easy, even for someone like me who rarely cooks. But still, it's a little more than I want to do when I'm feeling hungry and/or burnt out to wait for the water to boil and have to wash the pot and colander when I'm done. What I really needed was something that could have the whole process done in under 15 minutes and that I could just toss in the dishwasher.
Enter the Fasta Pasta (great name btw). I'm really amazed by what a game-changer it is, as well as how user-friendly it is. It comes with a booklet of instructions on how long to cook/how much pasta and water to use for all different shapes of pasta, plus there's an extended list on the product's website. All you have to do is measure out the pasta and fill the tub with water to the appropriate fill line, then microwave it on high for the noted amount of time. When it's done, you pop on the lid, which has convenient handles.I was nervous about using my bare hands to take this out of the microwave, even with the handles, but amazingly, it doesn't get that hot!The lid also has a built-in strainer, which is perfect for both helping you fill the Fasta Pasta with a precise amount of water and for straining once the pasta is cooked. Then voila! You've got pasta!"

17. A rollerball perfume containing notes of amber, vanilla, and chocolate that'll have you smelling like the most delicious bakery. It's pocket-sized and perfect for keeping in your bag whenever you need a sweet lil' refresh throughout the day — and don't be surprised if your loved ones ask for a little dab on their wrists, too. Take it as a compliment that they want to smell as yummy as you!
Promising review: "This fragrance is worth the hype. It ismuskybut sweet-smelling as well. It is paired well with amber, vanilla, caramel, etc. — any bakery scents. It is great for people who want to smell sweet but not like B&BWs–type sweet. For the price point, it is great. Plus, the smell lasts a long time. I get compliments throughout the whole day." —Chelsea Archer
Get it from Amazon for $5.08.
18. A handy grape cutter to quarter grapes and grape tomatoes in a pinch. Whether you're a parent or a babysitter, anyone who has ever been tasked with caring for a child knows that the second hunger strikes, they can transform from a sweet lil' angel to an angry devil right before your eyes. Thanks to this tool, snack time will be ready quickly, and you can save yourself a headache from a hanger meltdown.
Promising reviews: "LOVE it. It took three minutes to cut grapes, which would have taken me at least 10. As a mom of a toddler, I find that those minutes are precious. It was also fun and easy to use." —Jacqueline
"I wish I would’ve had this a LONG time ago. This little gadget has come in so handy. If you have a toddler or small child, you NEED this. It quarters grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives, etc., so they aren’t choking hazards for little ones. So much faster than slicing every tiny grape up yourself. 10/10 would recommend." —Sara Waits
Get it from Amazon for $11.76.
19. A pack of zipper clips that can be used as a deterrent from pickpockets — whether you live in a big city or you're traveling, stocking up on these for use on suitcases, purses, and backpacks is a great way to give yourself some extra peace of mind! It can also be used as a zipper replacement! We've all been there — zipper on bag gets stuck, yank zipper, and zipper tab breaks off, making it even MORE difficult to open said bag.
Promising review:"These held up really well on my backpack that I took with me on a long trip. While having the two zippers clipped together did make opening the backpack a little bit more difficult, it also gave me a sense of security while wearing the backpack in public." —Jenna

21. A wireless push-up bra that’s as comfy as it is pretty because no one actually enjoys the feel of wire. The soft, unlined design keeps things breathable, while the light padding adds just enough shape without feeling bulky. It’s the kind of bra you’ll forget you’re even wearing in the best possible way.
Promising reviews:"OK, so tea, I lost like 20 pounds, and my boobs got smaller as a result, and I was really insecure about it.In some bathing suits, my boobs looked non-existent after losing so much weight, but this bra GIVES ME A RACK LIKE NO OTHER!

22. A mightynail glueboasting a strong hold and an affordable price tag. Reviewers say this stuff helps keep their press-ons in place for over a week while still being easy enough to remove so they can reuse long-term press-ons. The struggle that is one of your press-ons making an inevitable escape mere hours after you applied them is too real and no longer should be.
Promising review: "I’ve been using this on my press-ons, and when I say they last a month or longer without any popping off! I will never go back to any other brand. Easy to use, quick-drying, GREAT PRICE!! Like, how can you best that value? The size you get for the price is really unmatched. The glue removal is pretty easy. If I plan on reusing the press-ons, I’ll soak them in water and soap and pop them off. If not, I’ll cut and shave down the nails and soak in acetone until it dissolves the nails enough for me to use my drill." —Big Ming
Get it from Amazon for $1.97(also available in a two-pack).
23. An energy-efficient, auto-dimming amber night-light that adjusts to the darkness around it. It's bright enough to see but not so harsh that it wakes you up. This is perfect for hallways, bathrooms, and bedrooms, so you can navigate those half-asleep midnight snack trips without having to turn on all the lights in the room.
Amazon
Promising review: "We got these to transition away from blue light at night to help with our sleep schedule. This is the perfect color and intensity for keeping you sleepy while waking up at night to use the bathroom. They're nice and lightweight, making it easy to plug into any outlet without issues. They turn on when it gets dark by themselves, so it's super easy to plug in and leave in. No flickering or issues with them turning on when dark." —mat

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in seven colors and a two-pack).
25. A roll of wood grain tape if your frameless bathroom mirror could use a lil' oomph. This tape is made out of waterproof adhesive and is easy to apply and even easier to trick guests into thinking you have a real wood-framed mirror. And if you decide to change your mind a few months from now, no worries! It comes off just as easily as it goes on.
Promising review: "Where do I start? I absolutely LOVE this product. I wanted to replace our bathroom mirror, but due to the size, it would have cost a lot! I came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. The application process was super easy and applied without bubbles as long as you go slow and rub it down as you go. I kid you not. It looks like wood and feels like it, too! You can feel and see the 'wood grain.' It’s absolutely stunning and looks like I bought a whole new mirror." —Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $7.68.

Amazon
Promising review: "I wouldn't consider myself a 'wine connoisseur' by any means, but I typically have a bottle or so, float through my house each week. This wine corker takes the hassle out of pulling the original cork out, it is easy to clean, makes the wine taste better, and hello it's five bucks! It would make a GREAT cheap gift for a wine drinker. At the moment, I only have the one, but I'm planning to grab a few more to keep on-hand. :)" —JasonKim Lebeda
Get it from Amazon for $8.
27. A set of stunningly chic wineglasses to make everything from cocktails to Olipop to parfaits look v elegant. Reviewers compare them to a similar style sold at Crate & Barrel for a fraction of the cost — perfect for anyone who is (or has a friend who is) a tad accident-prone and has been known to break a glass or two. Not speaking from personal experience or anything.
Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" —Katie B

28. A pack of glittery highlighters you'll wish you owned back when you were in grade school because perhaps you wouldn't have dozed off in the back of science class if your notebooks had a bit of sparkle to them. Well, they're here now, and *maybe* they'll help you do a better job at keeping track of your calendar and to-do list. Can't forget that upcoming dental cleaning if it's highlighted in pink glitter in your planner.

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily).With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick
