Because whether you need help quitting the doomscroll or just want your thighs to stop. chafing. this list has got you covered!

I really can't say enough nice things about Brick. I've seen it hyped all over social media, but honestly? I thought it would be just like every other productivity app I've tried, which frankly makes it way too easy for me to turn off. The physical barrier of needing to go to an actual physical location to unblock my phone has been huge, and I'm literally NEVER going back. Plus, it looks kinda cute on my fridge. 10/10 recommend for you *and* anyone on your gifting list who could use a lil' less phone time.

Promising reviews: "Exactly what I needed to stop doomscrolling whenever I start to get bored. Boredom is good! I love the simplicity of the product, and the size is convenient enough that I can throw it in a bag if I feel that I need it on the go. For now, it will live on the fridge because I can't help but use a good magnet." —Eugenia Kritsuk

"Got the Brick because I couldn't find anything that was helping me with my screen time. Over the past two months of having it, my screen habits have changed A TON. I am on my phone way less and am living in the moment a lot more than I used to. It's so helpful to Brick my phone before leaving the house, and whether it's to go to work, hang out with friends, etc., it is making my everyday moments so much better. Couldn't recommend this product enough to people." —Scott

Promising review: "Wish I had purchased this sooner. This lotion feels great on my skin, and I am starting to see an improvement on my neck. I will continue to purchase this item." —Patty

Promising reviews: "Best small blender ever! Makes just the right amount of smoothie in seconds. I couldn't believe how fast this grinds up fruit and greens." —McKenna Linn

"Works AMAZINGLY. I never have chunks of ice or fruit in my smoothie. Takes virtually no time and truly isn't the most harsh-sounding. It can also hold quite a bit for how small it is. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and comes with so many cool things (like cups and straws!)." —Taylor

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has these in her self-care toolkit: 

"I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!"

Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and I used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018

Promising review: "This potty seat cover has been amazing for our toddler during potty training and now after. I am relieved not to have to have him sit on gross toilets when out in public, and it's more comfortable for him without fear of him falling into the toilet. It's also nice when traveling if you are in a hotel or Airbnb. It folds up so easily and is nice and compact, so you can take it with you anywhere. It is also easy to clean! Highly recommend." —Whitney 

This TikTok of the Wet and Forget shower cleaner will make you see why it's one of the easiest ways to clean your shower.

Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach, and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe, but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use, it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ

Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small business that's home to a standing weeder design that's been around since 1913. 

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

My mom says I can play Monster Leaf Scooper if your mom says it's okay.

Promising review: "We have a very large wooded property that requires a lot of leaves and sticks to be raked up. We have tried various brands of leaf scoops, but most have lasted only one season. Since purchasing the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops, my job has been much easier. First of all is the way your hands grasp the scoops. These are much more ergonomic and are actually like extensions of your own hands. Second, these are very sturdy and do not bend when trying to pick up a pile of sticks and debris. We have made it through the season so far without issue. Next will be the dreaded fall cleanup. I highly recommend the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops, which make our yard, woods, and garden cleanup easier." —trouble54

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.

Promising review: "Not gonna lie, I saw this product on TikTok and thought I’d give it a try. Truly the best eyedrops I’ve ever bought. The pictures speak for themselves. That was within one minute." —Levi

Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for."

Promising review: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was skeptical about this product because I had never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product; it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." —Therese-Claire

Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord has had major success with these:

"HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews, I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion, I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly, all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and made a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips needed them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny."

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." —IrishEyes

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles and a multipack).

Promising review: "I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." —WIAPilot 

Oh! BTW, this stuff is reaaaally STRONG, so make sure you do a spot test first — especially if you have sensitive skin!

Promising reviews: "I saw this product on TikTok and I decided to give it a shot since it was only like $20 for 10 wipes (that's 10 weeks, 2.5 months) of no underarm sweat. It worked! I was so happy to finally be able to wear all the shirts I own that are not black! I only apply it every week, and all week long, there is NO sweat under my arms! This is amazing!" —Nes172011

Promising review: "I tried this mascara for the first time in 2020 after seeing it go viral on TikTok. It was too inexpensive not to try, right?!?! Well, let me just say how upset I was to find out this little inexpensive bottle outperformed EVERY expensive mascara I had ever bought. This is now the only stuff I use!" —Amanda Sims

Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, but I am already in love with whatever sorcery is in this bottle! This was a TikTok-influenced buy, so I was skeptical. When I got the product, I was having a horrible breakout with a HUGE irritated pimple in the crevice of my nose, and after two days of using it before and after work, it’s gone! It immediately helped the redness and irritation as well, and I'm blown away! After less than a week, my breakout has almost cleared up completely." —Catherine bunch

Promising review: "This is a tasty cocktail! I followed the recipe on the package — 1 satchel, 2 tablespoons of tequila, and 3 ounces of cold water. So easy and delicious. It has the tart, lime taste of a margarita and a very subtle kick. I would absolutely get more of this brand!" —heyshay07

Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy

Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy this, and it is money well spent!! I’m convinced my beagle sheds a full coat of hair and regrows it daily! I use this on my bed every single day, and it blows my mind how well it works. Before this, I was going through 4–5 disposable sticky rollers a month and spending three times longer to remove dog hair. I am buying these for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts this year! ❤️" —tiff4short

Promising review: "This set is amazing! I did not realize that Uncrustables makers existed, and I am so glad a friend mentioned them to me, and I bought this set! My life has changed for the better. I am saving so much money by making my own Uncrustables! This set is sturdy and works like a charm! Very easy to clean up after as well! Best purchase I've made in a long time!" —Leah 

Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: "I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions. I left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three scents).

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 on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, 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. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to brush each rug thoroughly, 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." —Renee

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder. It blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim

Promising review: "I wish I would have found these sooner. Melted off my plantar wart in four days. I've been pained by this thing for over a year, and this got rid of it quickly. I've been recommending it to all my friends!" —Domingo Douglas

Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn, even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree, zero-clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen, and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah, where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all, this is one of the best inventions!" —Catherine Shock

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

Simply fill your dirty mug with water, add a tablet, let it fizz for 30 minutes, and then rinse.

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually, they both turned black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out completely, without even needing to scrub. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask, which I primarily use to store my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer. 

Promising review: "An absolute must-have for anyone prone to chafing. I’ve been using this product for a while now, and it has truly been a game changer. This anti-chafe stick is incredibly effective. The moment you apply it, it creates a smooth, protective barrier on your skin that prevents friction and discomfort. I can now walk, run, and wear skirts or dresses without worrying about painful chafing. The formula is non-greasy and absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable.

One of the things I love most about the Megababe Thigh Rescue is its portability. The stick format makes it easy to apply on the go, and it’s compact enough to fit in my bag for touch-ups throughout the day. Plus, the ingredients are gentle and soothing, which is a big plus for sensitive skin. Overall, the Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick is a fantastic product that lives up to its promises. It’s a must-have for anyone who experiences chafing and wants a reliable, effective solution. I highly recommend it!" —EVE

Plus, it was created by a Black-owned small business!

Promising review: "This is amazing. I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner. It works just as it says. Fill the sink with lukewarm water, put the thaw claw in, and put meat under the thaw claw. 15 minutes later....... Voila! Thawed. I use this every night. If you are debating......don't! Buy it now — you will not regret it." —Kristen
