1. A pair of high-waisted leggings (with pockets!) that many reviewers deemed sufficiently "squat-proof" — meaning they won't play peekaboo with your undies. They're soft, breathable, supportive, and have a seamless front crotch to prevent desert-animal-esque situations...IYKWIM.
Promising review: "Honestly so good! Thick fabric and good fit. I love the side pockets and that it has no front seam. I realized how much I was reaching for these and had to buy another. I purchased the shorts version too!" —Y. Kim
Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and in several colors).
2. Some Neutralyze exfoliating toner pads formulated specifically to help combat acne. Its gentle yet powerful combination of salicylic and mandelic acids works to clear pores, and can be used on your face, back, and other parts of your body where acne appears. These dual-sided (one smooth and one textured) pads were also made with sensitive skin in mind, so you don't have to worry about further irritating your skin.
Note: The reviewer on the left says they alternated between using the exfoliating pads and tretinoin to achieve results.
Promising review: "I could literally see a pimple appear one day and then the next, it's barely visible. My acne scars are becoming less and less noticeable. The woman at the beauty salon complimented my skin. She wanted to know what I was using because she saw the difference. This stuff is amazing!!! I will continue to buy and stock up on this stuff! Try this product! I am recommending it to everyone I know! :D" —Marty

3. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner, because you haven't properly cleaned your shower in, well, ever. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder has this and loves it! Check out her Wet and Forget shower cleaner review!
Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed ’til my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, I don't remember which one) and thought, 'What the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. On day two, I sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. On day three, I sprayed the remaining spots, and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and a pack of two).
4. A light-up plug-in insect trap whose inner sticky glue cards are free of chemical insecticides, so it's safe to have in a home that also has kids and pets. This trap catches flying pests and keeps them hidden until you're ready to replace the glue card.
Promising review: "We have a door in the kitchen that leads to the yard, and live in a wooded area. We always have small bugs coming in through this door because we are always in and out with the dog. There was a week or two where we were seeing gnats or flies EVERY DAY. After we bought this, we saw a major difference. We don’t bother trying to kill anything now, as they all eventually follow the light. We leave it plugged in all day and night and love the results. We have four more replacement cards, and they don’t fill up easily, so I can see the cards lasting a while. My favorite part is that it acts as a night-light, and the sticky part is on the back, so we don’t even see the flies sticking to it until we unplug. Love the sleek and simple design of the plug-in as well. I’m so happy I don’t have to take out the swatter anymore. Highly recommend this product!" —Priscilla
Get it from Amazon for $14.97.
5. An absorbent stone splash guard that'll help make sure the area around your kitchen sink doesn't become a little ocean. And because it's absorbent and sturdy, it's perfect for placing things like soap, sponges, and other kitchen/bathroom necessities.
Promising review: "The design looks modern and blends nicely with the kitchen without taking up too much space around the faucet. I like that it absorbs small water splashes well and helps keep the area cleaner and drier throughout the day. The material also dries relatively quickly and is easy to set up." —Mayte Escate
Get it from Amazon for $16.39+ (available in seven sizes and four colors).
6. An insulated Stanley lunch bag to go with your Stanley water bottle collection. Its hinged top makes it super easy to access your delicious snacks, and its detachable shoulder strap gives you multiple transport options. Try your best not to get every color of this, too. It's durable and leak-resistant, which you've already come to expect from this well-known brand.
PS: The mini size can hold up to 10 cans!
PPS: Several reviewers noted that these bags "[keep] everything cold for hours."
Promising review: "THIS IS A 10/10 MUST PURCHASE. I have been looking for a lunch bag that would fit all the different sizes of lunch containers I have. This lunch bag is sturdy and of great quality. The material is easy to clean. The size is very fit-all. Easy to transport as it has two different carry modes — one shoulder strap and one hand strap. Zipper quality is very sturdy. The bag keeps all items cool or warm — great cooler lunch bag." —Larissa
Get it from Amazon for $100+ (available in three sizes and several colors).

7. A whimsical and cozy pea pod-shaped body pillow — you'll find delicious comfort in pretty much every snuggle position you could possibly imagine. It features a removable cover and buttons that let it transform into a cushion you can sit on or use for back support.
Promising review: "I finally found the perfect leg pillow. It is not too heavy or bulky. It’s perfectly squishy, and I can finally sleep in comfort and free from knee and leg pain. It’s worth every penny. Don’t hesitate to get one for yourself, especially if you have sleep issues due to pain." —DM
Get it from Amazon for $30.85+ (available in four sizes and 11 colors).
8. A vegan and cruelty-free Sol de Janeiro skin-tightening body cream made with coconut and açai oil. Its caffeine-rich formula stimulates circulation for smoother-looking skin.
Caffeine can brighten skin and temporarily minimize the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite if that’s something you’re looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am surprised when a product really does what it says, and this cream tightened skin as promised and somehow smoothed out some light cellulite on my legs. I keep looking at the backs of my hands, being surprised at how smooth and tight the skin looks and feels. At 48, I don't have much in the way of wrinkles or loose skin, but I can see a difference on the backs of my hands at times, even with all the kinds of treatments over the years. This cream zapped that in one treatment!" —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes; bundles and multipacks are available).
9. A set of jean button pins because buying new pants every single time your body decides it's a new size is uhhh frustrating AF. Instead of taking your jeans to the tailor or, worse, throwing them out, you can attach these lil' pins to the waistband and use them instead of the sewn-on buttons.
There's also the option to use two bear pins, which hold hands when they cinch your jeans together.
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 eight from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in eight styles and various colors).
10. A cute and compact sun umbrella offering UPF 50+ protection (meaning the material can block 98% of harmful UV rays) to help reduce sun exposure (so you're less likely to come home as bright red as the angry emoji). Plus, its specialized silver lining reflects sunlight, which will help to keep you even cooler.
Promising review: "I got this to use when I take the baby on walks using a front carrier. There's a huge difference compared with an average umbrella; no light comes through at all, and the temperature is noticeably cooler. I got the larger size, and it provides ample shade. Worth the price." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $69+ (available in two sizes and six colors).
11. And an ingenious and adjustable chair umbrella canopy offering UPF 50+ protection that can clamp right onto your lawn or beach chair so you can enjoy the beautiful outdoors without boiling under the sun.
Promising review: "Very durable metal! Solid yet easy to carry. Folds back into the carry bag so quickly and easily! Great for busy moms or solo beach days! It fits this reclining beach chair perfectly, with plenty of adjustable space. It held in place all day on the windy beach. Even the ties for the back stayed in place with the wind! Protected me from the sun but allowed for plenty of visibility, and adjustment was easy as I reclined or as the sun moved. Very wind resistant! Love the black to block the sun to read or check my phone." —Faith1212
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes, six colors, and two-packs).
12. A moisturizing and exfoliating foot peeling spray — get your feet in tip-top (or should I say "tip-TOE?") shape so you don't rip your nice socks with your sharp edges. Formulated with aloe and coconut, this spray finds a way to be both effective and gentle. So, if you've got rough, dry, or cracked feet, add this to your weekly self-care routine. It only takes a couple of minutes!
Promising review: "Man, this product is absolutely amazing 🥲 I have bruised my feet shaving with those cheese graters at nail shops. I am here to say I will never grate my feet again after using this product!!! It is the best — and I mean the best — on the market when it comes to removing hard and dry calluses. I hope they never stop selling this product because it does fantastic work removing hard calluses from your feet. You won't go wrong, just buy it already and watch the magic. Works right before your eyes, and it only takes seconds to wash away the calluses. This is genius. Whoever made this product is onto something big!! I love my feet, and now I can love them even more!! Get you some!" —Whet
Get it from Amazon for $6.89.
13. A crack weeder tool if weeds think they're being clever by growing in the cracks of your patio or sidewalk. This sharp, L-shaped tool can remove the entire root without you needing to literally dig around for it. It's also got a soft and non-slip beech wood handle because taking care of your home's outward appearance shouldn't be physically taxing.
Promising review: "This is a really useful gardening tool that goes beyond cleaning between pavers, although it works well for that task also. The L-shape design with sharp edges is great for deep weeding in my flower beds and for digging out small roots. I find I reach for it more often than all my other gardening hand tools because of its versatility. It is very well made and has a good, solid feel in your hand as you work." —Wanda
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four other sizes).
14. A skin-firming Gold Bond neck and chest cream designed to help improve the texture, elasticity, and appearance of your skin. Plus, it's got hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated.
Promising reviews: "This product is absolutely amazing and works so well and fast. It is one of the products that has transformed my neck skin in just a couple of days. I'm in my late 40s, and I always used moisturizers on my neck, but I still had dry-looking, crepey skin. Not anymore. I still cannot believe that such an inexpensive cream can make my neck skin look so plump and young. Do try it." —Momof5
"I don't usually write reviews, but I have to take a second to RAVE about his product! I'm 55, and my poor chest has been ruddy, dull, and prone to ugly rashes. After my last outbreak, I was just sick of it, so I bought this. Within a week, the skin on my chest was smooth, even fresh-looking. I am no longer embarrassed to wear scoop neck shirts! Absolute miracle product. I wish I had taken before and after pics." —Rebecca Campbell

15. A two-pack of TheraBreath's "Deep Clean" toothpaste so "morning breath" doesn't become "all-day breath." Designed to kill germs that cause plaque, cavities, and gingivitis, this mint-flavored toothpaste is your mouth's savior in a tube. It's also formulated to help brighten teeth and to be gentle on enamel.
BuzzFeed Shopping Deputy Editorial Director Elizabeth Lilly has been putting this toothpaste to the test:
"I've been testing out the whitening version of this toothpaste, and it works just as well as any drugstore brand toothpaste without irritation. (I'll occasionally get irritation from whitening strips and treatments, and space them out because of it, but I've had none with this!) My mouth just FEELS cleaner when I use this, and it's even easier to use my tongue scraper after brushing, too! I think this has earned a spot as my new go-to."
Promising review: "I’ve tried quite a few toothpastes over the years due to having very sensitive teeth and gums, and this one has been a standout for me. From the first use, I noticed that it didn’t cause any irritation at all, which is something I’ve struggled with when trying other 'sensitive' formulas. My gums felt comfortable, and I didn’t experience any of that burning or tingling sensation that some toothpastes can cause.
"One of my favorite things about this toothpaste is the texture. It’s smooth and non-gritty, which makes brushing feel much more gentle and pleasant. Some sensitive toothpastes can feel chalky or rough, but this one has a much more refined consistency that I really appreciate. I would highly recommend it." —Kristi
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.55 (available in three other formulas).
16. A K-beauty holy grail SPF 50 Abib sunscreen stick with a curved design that makes application smooth and easy. Plus, it's water-resistant, super lightweight, and *drumroll please* it won't leave behind a white cast or any sticky residue. Reviewers even say it works well under and over makeup. Add this to cart then toss it into your bag!
Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action.
The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! And if you're not quite sure how to use stick sunscreen (yes, there's a "right" way), you can read about proper application here.
Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen, and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin, and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin; like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina
Get it from Amazon for $13.88 (available in two formulas).
17. A bottle of Bioclean hard water stain remover if your shower, bathroom fixtures, and toilet bowl are covered in hard-to-remove splotches. Stains, spots, limescale, and rust don't stand a chance against this cleaner! It even creates a protective sealant that lasts for up to three months.
Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning. Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor. Picture 3: After cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" —Laura
"Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I was in shock. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

18. Mario Badescu's vegan PDRN jelly cream, whose lightweight and moisturizing formula contains nourishing and soothing peptides and niacinamide. Get the glowing glass skin look you've been dreaming of!
Promising review: "Absolutely in love with this jelly cream. My skin looks amazing — no more chafing and peeling, and it feels and looks 'bouncy' and glowing, it’s hard to explain. As for people saying it’s sticky — they must be using way too much!! It dries beautifully, not sticky. A little goes A LONG way. This little tub should last a year or more easily. I use it under my tret at night too. Love it!" —Beachy1
Get it from Amazon for $20.
19. An exfoliating Kitsch massage brush because it'll gently help rid your scalp of buildup and dandruff while offering a relaxing scrub that can also work to boost circulation. You can use it when applying shampoo in the shower, or you can use it dry!
Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a wet brush and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the wet brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody that has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids). It's very soft and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would buy again over and over." —Katy Shoemaker
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
20. A 44-piece Rubbermaid food container set that'll help with storing leftovers and getting your meal prep done for the week. This airtight, stain-proof, and leakproof set is also dishwasher-safe. You can even microwave food in them without taking the lids off — thank you, built-in steam vents!
Promising review: "These are by far the BEST food storage containers I’ve ever used. I love how clear they are; I like seeing my food and find I’m eating more colorful fruits and veggies because they look pretty. And these things seal tight, my soup has never leaked out. And the best part? They do NOT stain. Like, at all. Leave spaghetti in there for a few days, and still it washes easily with no staining. Top shelf dishwasher safe works great, but no stains even with handwashing. Just buy them, they are worth the hype." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.
21. A super cute, single-serve Ninja Blendboss so you can have your fruity smoothies and pre-workout drinks whenever the mood calls for them. And don't worry, just because she's stylish doesn't mean she's not also powerful. Those ice cubes never stood a chance... Plus, the travel tumbler has an integrated chug spout — or you can use the detachable straw — and leakproof lid so you can toss it in your gym bag and be off!
This has a 1,200-watt motor, three blending programs (smoothie, ice crush, and blend), and auto iQ presets that'll blend for you. And btw, you can drink from the integrated spout, or there's a straw included if you prefer.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this blender. I use it to make smoothies, and they come out AWESOME. I had a smaller portable Ninja blender that was ok, but it would get jammed a lot with frozen products, so I decided to upgrade to this one, and I am so glad I did. This blender is a beast. It blends everything up perfectly. Frozen fruit is no problem at all. I love how it has suction cups on the bottom so that it grips the counter. It’s pretty loud, but since this blender works so well, I can handle the noise. I highly recommend this." —Unicornyankee

22. A mom-made bug bite suction tool from Shark Tank for mosquito bite relief if you're excited for tank tops and short shorts, but not the fact that you'll be exposed to some nasty bloodsuckers. It pretty much sucks the irritant out from under your skin so you can live an itch-free life.
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I used this little tool (three times per the instructions), and immediately after use, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later, the bite = gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but that is a small price to pay, IMO. Bottom line: It’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in six colors).
23. A gentle "Buf-Puf" face sponge because your pores are so clogged, they're ready to up and move to Appalachia for a life of danceable fiddle tunes... It's time to say buh-bye to dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and the makeup stubbornly clinging to your face after a too-fun girls' night. Despite its abrasive look, reviewers say that this sponge is "so soft and gentle."
Promising review: "As someone with sensitive skin, I was cautious about using any kind of exfoliating product, but this sponge strikes the perfect balance. It provides just enough exfoliation to slough off dead skin and leave my face feeling smooth and refreshed without causing irritation or redness. This is a simple yet effective tool that deserves a spot in any skincare routine — especially if you prefer a gentle, manual exfoliation method over harsh scrubs or chemical treatments." —EJ
Get it from Amazon for $4.66.
24. A bottle of The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner that brightens, smooths, and evens tone while exfoliating and removing dead skin cells. It contains ginseng root and aloe vera, which could make it less irritating for folks with sensitive skin. And glycolic acid can help hydrate the skin, so use it on your neck, scalp, back — anywhere you're dealing with dryness. Plus, it's quite a bit cheaper than the $29 Pixi Glow Tonic.
Psst — one dermatologist on TikTok even recommends using it on your armpits to help fight the bacteria that causes body odor!
Promising reviews: "I have very oily skin and have been dealing with recurrent acne every summer, even in my mid-thirties. This is the ONLY thing that has consistently made my skin clear." —Jimmzi
"My sisters were constantly raving about this toner, so I decided to try it. Since using it, I’ve realized why they love it so much! My skin went from bumpy and textured to smooth and glowy. My clogged pores have completely disappeared. I’ve already recommended this product to a bunch of my friends, and they love it too! I’ve been using this product for about two months, and it’s still doing wonders. Definitely worth buying!" —Noa May
Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).
25. A Dawn Powerwash dish spray bundle if your ideal dishwashing experience consists of spraying, waiting, and wiping. This spray can easily cut through grease to clean heavily soiled dishes. Oh, and it can clean more than just dishes — I'm lookin' at you, outdoor grill and indoor stovetop!
Promising reviews: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." —Kimba
"The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 JK I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth F
Even BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga is a fan:
"The spray itself is a WORKHORSE. It's incredible how well it works. I use it on all my pots, pans, and dishes. I even use it to clean my kitchen counters at the end of the day. It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. I've even seen a friend use it to immediately remove a coffee stain from a white sweater!"
Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44.
26. A vegan under-eye brightener to help balance out bluish tones and dark circles. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and hydrate skin. You'll look like you've had days of sleep...even if the truth is you haven't slept in days.
This medium-coverage concealer can be applied with your fingers or a brush.
BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga loves this beauty product:
"I've personally tested this out, and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two, I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba and, despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price... 10/10 from me."
Promising review: "This color corrector is the very best one I have found. It is creamy without being greasy, heavy, or drying. It truly doesn’t accentuate fine lines. Stays on for a full 12-hour shift once it is set with powder. Blends seamlessly and ridiculously easily. Makes me look like I got restful sleep. Absolutely recommend. And especially for the price point, you really can’t go wrong. Under-eye perfection!" —Becca

27. A super handy luggage scale because you plan on buying a lot of new clothes and souvenirs on your upcoming journeys, and you need to make sure your suitcase won't exceed your airline's weight maximum when it's time to return home.
Promising reviews: "I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who travels, especially internationally, because of all the extra costs for going over in weight. We were among the few people in line who didn’t need to rearrange our luggage at the airport to meet the weight requirements in Milan. So easy to pack and take with you." —Addison
"This little device was well worth the money spent. It saved us a lot of money on our flight home since we knew the weight was over and could pre-purchase the overage in the app instead of paying double at the airport. I’ll never travel without it!! Very easy to use." —Michael Ellis
Get it from Amazon for $8.90+ (available in four colors and also as a two-pack).
28. A compact and dishwasher-safe collapsible twisting whisk that can be folded flat for blending and then balloon out for whipping. This design makes cleaning and storing it sooo much easier.
Promising review: "Absolutely perfect. Easy to clean, easy to use, very sturdy. The whisk stays in the position quite well; it stows away quite flat. The perfect solution for a kitchen with limited storage!" —CMA01
"I'm so glad I found this thing. Fighting with a bulbous whisk in my kitchen drawer was so annoying, so being able to flatten it is a dream. It also makes it possible to get into the corners of my cookware, where a normal whisk could never. Not to mention it's so much easier to clean! Best whisk ever. 10/10 would recommend!!" —Whitney S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in green and blue and in multipacks).
29. A pack of two Downy fabric sprays for when you have no time, space, or energy to iron but still want to look like you have all three. No problem! Just spray, tug, and hang to dry for wrinkle-free clothes in no time flat!
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Danielle Healy says, "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer."

30. An automatic rotating Tymo ceramic hair curler if you don't curl your hair because it just takes too much time and effort. Not anymore, babe! All you have to do is insert a section of your hair into the curler's chamber and let it work its magic! Getting the perfect ringlet just got easier.
Promising reviews: "I don't usually write product reviews — it's just not worth my time. But in this case, it was worth it. This is fantastic. I've used so many products that offer automatic curls (like the Chi), and this beats all of them." —H. Brown
"This product is extremely easy to use on yourself and or your friends! It was much cheaper than one of the other ones we saw, but this one worked way beyond my expectations! Best product ever!" —Amazon Customer

EcoDecors is a woman-owned small business that makes teak home products.
This bench has a weight capacity of 300 pounds.
Promising review: "I bought this product three years ago, and I’m writing the review now because wow!

32. A reusable XL gel ice pack that you can lie on top of or place on your back for a full body chill. It can stay cold for up to 28 minutes and contours to your body.
Promising review: "This is an excellent ice pack for injuries, but I also found it to be surprisingly useful when it was really hot this summer and the power was out as a result of a recent hurricane. Sitting and lying on the ice pack really cooled me down and felt amazing!! At the time, I wished that I had bought more than one." —E. J. Tompkins

33. DEET-free mosquito-repellent bracelets — these use essential oils to help keep bloodsuckers away. Some reviewers suggest wearing one on your wrist and one on your ankle if you're in mosquito-dense areas.
For best results, replace every four hours. Note: The CDC recommends only formulas with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, PMD, and 2-undecanone to prevent mosquito bites, so YMMV with these bracelets.
Promising review: "I'm mosquito heaven and get eaten alive every spring and summer. I've used the spray bug stuff in the past, but I really don't like spraying it on my skin. I put one of these bracelets on an ankle and one on the opposite wrist before playing pickleball and haven't had one bite yet!" —Amazon Customer

34. A miraculous veggie chopper with a built-in tray so you don't have to deal with the mess of a cutting board. Plus, its interchangeable blades will make dicing and slicing veggies quick and easy. So stop wasting time (and tears) chopping onions by hand.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder has good things to say about this! Check out her Fullstar veggie chopper review.
Get it from Amazon for $21.24+ (available in five styles and five colors).
35. A disposable Scotch Brite toilet scrubber shaped to get under the rim where the most yucky of the yucks reside. Its non-bleach formula helps remove hard water stains and rust. You'll get the wand, a storage caddy, and five refills!
And while you're at it, you might as well grab these refills!
Promising review: "A MUST-BUY. These are great disposable toilet bowl cleaners. I don't know why I didn't buy them sooner. The handle easily attaches to the scrubber, you dip it into the toilet water, and start scrubbing away. The cleaning solution starts foaming a bit and cleans very well. Once done, just hover over your trash can and press the release button on the handle and done. It's so much more sanitary and clean compared to using the old brushes. It's easy and no more worrying about the brushes being dirty and growing bacteria." —JL7390
Get it from Amazon for $6.84.
36. A pair of eyeshadow color removal sponges that cleans your makeup brushes without water, so you can go from applying a neon pink eyeshadow to a bright white eyeshadow without breaking out the makeup brush shampoo, OR having to dirty another brush.
Fellow BuzzFeed writer Jenae Sitzes is a fan of these sponges:
"I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful), and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So, even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"
Promising review: "I saw these on a BuzzFeed list and was instantly sold! I hated running out of brushes when doing my makeup, and using multiple eyeshadow colors or wanting to use the same brush for different colors. This has saved me from having to buy 10 more brushes because now I can use my favorite handful of brushes and just wipe them off and keep going! It blew my mind how easy this sponge knocks all the eyeshadow off my brushes! I cannot recommend these enough if you don't want to shell out for more makeup brushes!" —Erica Saldivar

37. A cute and compact portable pill container whose seven compartments can house your medications, so you don't have to go rooting through the lot of pills bottles to find the ones you have to take. It also has a dispenser lid that makes getting to your vitamins even easier when you're traveling.
This is the best and easiest pill organizer I have ever used. The ones that are organized by day have to repeatedly be refilled; each of the compartments in this container can hold an entire month's worth of pills, so that means refills only need to happen once a month! Which is a blessing for this lazy lady (me). It's cute, it's portable, and it's easy to use. What more can ya ask for?
Promising review: "This is the best pill container I have found. It holds a month’s worth of pills in each compartment and is compact and easy to store and travel with. It is very sturdy, and I don’t have to worry about the cap opening accidentally. The enclosed labels are a bonus, and the see-through exterior makes it easy to see how many pills are left. I keep it on my nightstand, and it doesn’t take a lot of space." —TA
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors).
38. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste — a miraculous problem-solver that can help you get rid of stains, streaks, gunk, and dirt from just about anything. I'm serious. That pan you tried to rotisserie a chicken in that's now covered in caked-on skin and oil? The Pink Stuff's got that covered. Literally. Try it on your stovetop, your sneakers, your walls, your toilet...you get the picture.
Promising reviews: "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top, and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson
"I was trying to get adhesive off of drywall, and nothing was working. THIS WORKS on everything! It easily took off the adhesive. Then I had Corningware with a stubborn stain; I had tried everything. Then I tried The Pink Stuff, and it easily removed the stubborn stain. I will now always keep this on hand!" —David C. Rein

39. A powerful stain remover spray to help get rid of juice, food, and formula stains from baby's clothes. Just spray, blot, and rinse, and your little one's onesie will be pristine again!
Promising review: "Would give 10 stars if I could. There has yet to be a stain my boys get on their clothes (or mine) that this stuff hasn’t been able to remove." —Sam
Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer Heather Braga is a huge fan of this spray: "My 1-year-old is a big ice pop fan, so I've got a long life ahead of me to be filled with stain removal. I held her while she sucked down a red ice pop on a 90-degree day. Naturally, it dripped all over my white tank top (note to self: stop wearing white around these kids). I was actually kind of excited because it meant I got to put my newly purchased bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray to the test! I followed the directions on the bottle that said to dampen the stained area, spray it with the stain remover, then pop it into the washing machine as usual. What do ya know — it really worked! Completely cleared away all the red stains! Not sure what witchcraft has been used to make this product, but I'm here for it."
Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in multi-packs).
40. A 3-in-1 wireless charger that'll allow you to easily charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously.
Promising review: "I love this charging station! I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPods Pro at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve misplaced my AirPods because I didn’t have a dedicated place for them. Now there’s no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds), and the station itself is easy to set up and use." —anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in green and black).
