You won’t even remember what life was like before having this veggie chopper, touchless vacuum, and stone bath mat. I'm a BuzzFeed Shopping writer who covers everything from home and organization to travel and gifting, and I'm passionate about staying on top of the latest beauty trends (especially K-beauty) as well as tracking down affordable products for a luxe lifestyle. It's sleek and narrow, so it won't take up a ton of space in your room, and it looks surprisingly cool! It comes with a remote control so you can turn it on from your bed, and the LED lights turn off in sleep mode, so you don't need to worry about being disturbed. Promising review: "I am elderly and live in Texas where we have 100+ degree heat on a daily basis in the summer. This is, hands down, the best and most powerful fan I have experienced. I love it so much that I bought a second one for my sister who is heat sensitive. She got rid of the two tower fans she was using as this fan cooled her room." —TJ Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three colors, including a smart Wi-Fi model). Mouthwatchers is a small biz that sells antimicrobial toothbrushes, which are also available in bundle sets and travel-size options! Promising review: "Like most people, I've tried any number of toothbrushes (electric and manual) and can't say I've ever experienced an appreciable or memorable difference. Until this one. This one's approach to gum care got my attention. And they deliver. I can't remember the last time my mouth felt so clean without any torture involved. Highly recommend." —Emma Hunter Promising reviews: "FINALLY, COMFY PANTIES! As a 30-year-old woman, I’ve been on the search for comfy underwear and I finally found them. They’re soft and have the perfect amount of stretch." —Amazon Customer "So freaking comfy. I need my undies to cradle under my butt cheeks the way a loving mother tenderly cradles her newborn’s face. I was worried these would creep up the cheeks into wedgie territory, but no. Blissful cheek hugging all day long. Can’t feel them even if I tried. No weird pinching or odd areas. Perfect chef’s kiss. I typically wear Aerie boy brief–style undies — these are a close match in fit and comfort, and equivocal in size." —Ali Morey Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 12 color combos and women's sizes XS–3XL). Check out a TikTok of the dolly trolley (the second product featured in the video) in action. Promising review: "I was getting so tired of making several trips to my car to retrieve my groceries after each shopping trip. I saw this trolley on Amazon and decided to buy it. Best purchase ever. I now can bring all my groceries in with one trip to the car. I also love that its wheel design allows the trolley to climb my front steps, making it so easy for me. I have used it in the house to help me carry things upstairs, and the climbing feature makes it safe and easy." —m Robinson Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in black and blue). Check out a TikTok of the food cubby in action. Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee Promising review: "Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know stone bath mats existed! But wow! What a game changer! I’m one of those people that avoids my cloth bath mat when it’s wet. Because eww! Now, I can take a shower right after my husband and not have to worry about stepping on a wet bath mat. The stone absorbs the water so fast! Can’t wait to upgrade my other bathroom mats." —Angela You can also microwave them for all your reheating needs (just don't microwave on high for more than three minutes). Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can’t complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also it’s an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." —M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as bowls). Promising review: "If you have night sweats, you need to buy these sheets. I do and I bought a set. Oh my, I just love them. Not only are they soft, but they also seem to be cooling too. No more night sweats for me." —Linda Leynes Get it from Amazon for $35.68+ (available in sizes twin–Cal. king and in 22 colors). Promising reviews: "For background, I’m a 34-year-old woman who has had a hysterectomy and is going through some changes quite young. I have been having thyroid issues for years, and I struggle to sleep without sweating. I sweat constantly, no matter how cool it may be. We keep my house around 68 in the winter and 72 in the summer (I live in Georgia, USA, so humidity is a constant problem) and I honestly can’t fall asleep without this blanket. Even when it’s freezing outside, I’ll occasionally wake up sweaty, and the only fix is to wrap this blanket around me and crawl back in bed. I love this blanket so much I got the pillowcases to match." —ClaudiaB. "WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS??? I have never once felt a blanket that constantly keeps you cool? I am ALWAYS hot, but I love to be under blankets. This is the PERFECT blanket to keep from overheating. It feels like athletic-type material. A must-buy!!!" —Kenzie Get it from Amazon for $21.65+ (available in five sizes and 14 colors). Promising reviews: "This made my life so much better with chopping onions and other veggies! It’s so quick and easy. One tip is to make sure you cut your veggie small enough so that it’s easy to push down the handle. Big chunks are a little harder to chop. Please be careful with cleaning; the blades are super sharp." —Tasha "Seriously, how have I lived the last 34 years without this? So easy! Definitely a must have!" —Maranda Johnson Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors and seven sets). BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising review: "I’m 36 and I have fairly good skin but for the past 6 years since I turned 30- it’s gotten rough. My pores are bigger etc. I tried everything out there that promised to do what this product does. It’s only been the first day and finally something is helping for my pores on my cheeks. After the first DAY ladies. Maybe it’s just me- but I already see this is amazing. So it’s going in my must have skincare for daily use. Highly recommend." —Harleyqueen Get it from Amazon for $17.69 (also available in a mild version for sensitive skin). Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews, but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok, and it got me curious, so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game changer. I’m a side sleeper, and this pillow is heaven. It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much, I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." —MT Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in two sizes and three shapes). The firmness of the "Sqeezy" sponge changes depending on your water temp — you can use cold water for a firmer sponge or warm water to soften it up! In case you're not familiar with The Pink Stuff paste, this non-abrasive formula works on walls, grout, kitchen counters, sinks, stovetops, ceramic tile, metal, appliances, outdoor furniture...basically anything you can think of. Promising review: "I definitely am not one to leave a product review but I felt I had to for the Pink Stuff - I have tried for 30 years to find something to clean my 30+ year old fiberglass tub and shower - that ring around the base would just never go away - I bought the paste and did a complete clean and was absolutely shocked how well it worked. It removed years of grime. I have since bought the spray and used that this morning in the tub and it was amazing — I would give this product 20 stars if I could! Hats off to this company and product." —Holly P. Rist Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.41. Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure, but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues. Promising review: "Love this thing!!! I'm 30 and thought this one was modern and cool. The little slots to push in pills is fantastic and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one day's worth of pills, set it on my counter and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" —Chicken McNugget Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four colors). Psst — a lot of reviewers also swear by this for relieving eczema! Promising review: "Since moving to Chicago my hands have been suffering severely from dry cracked skin to the point of bleeding. I'm in my 30s with the hands of an 80 year old! THIS HAND CREAM IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER USED AND THE ONLY HAND CREAM ANYONE NEEDS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE!!! One application alone gives tremendous relief, two applications and you forget your hands were ever dry. A small amount goes a long way. It absorbs immediately, it's light and non greasy. I don't know what else you can need, it's so effective my hands look and feel great again. In fact, just recently my face started to get really dry too and I've been moisturizing twice a day all my life. Nothing helped. Last night I decided to put this hand cream on my face, figured it does wonders for my hands, why not? I woke up this morning. Dry skin has all but gone!" —RS Promising review: "I wish I had found this iced coffee maker years ago. I live in Florida and the summers are extremely hot, so I like to drink iced coffee in the morning during the summer. I grind up coffee beans and fill the infuser with them, then just fill up the pitcher with filtered water and let it infuse over night. When I wake up in the morning I have excellent-tasting iced coffee and it makes my mornings quick, because all I have to do is pour it into a to go cup. I can usually get about five fills out of one pitcher. I absolutely love this device and will always have one now that I have found it. You do not need anything more expensive or complicated than this." —Ashley Bouchard Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and three lid colors). And check out our full Takeya cold brew maker review for more deets! Promising reviews: "This item fit perfectly on my head rest. I hang my purse from it. I am 33 and work in a corporate ish setting and a single mom. So you know that purse hold every dang thing possible. It's heavy. And it holds it everyday. So glad it came with 4." —Beckyg727 "This product has been so awesome for helmets and baseball bags this season! It keeps our car organized, and they are super sturdy. I’m sure I’ll find many more uses for them, but they definitely were a great find and I’d buy them again!" —Casey Schoening Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 15 colors). Promising reviews: "I love the price and it's so soft. Take care of your hair, people; this pillowcase will prevent abrasive ribbing throughout the night compared to a regular pillowcase. I'm a male approaching 30, and this is one of my must-haves for hair restoration." —Zackari "I've been using these pillowcases for about a week now, and I have to say that they have really seemed to help my hair not be so frizzy when I wake up! I live in a hot and humid climate, and my hair normally just makes my life awful this time of year (summer). I have been trying a couple of new things to help my hair, like using Moroccan Oil on the ends and these pillowcases, and it's really a lot better. I also feel better about sleeping on my side now and don't worry so much that I'm creating wrinkles. I would definitely buy these again and recommend them!" —R. Spann Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 30 colors and four sizes). Promising review: "These were a thoughtless stocking stuffer for my partner, who is 31-years-old. I knew he’d enjoy them, but I was delighted by how much he played with them. He even invented games with a friend, like throwing a ball on the ceiling and trying to place a cup on the floor where he thinks it will land. I joined in of course. These guys are nice and sticky but don’t leave behind any gunk. very fun." —jessica carlan Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.99. Promising reviews: "This little strap is a lifesaver! No more dropped sippy cups on the floor at restaurants. It clips right onto the stroller and keeps everything secure. The lavender color is super cute too." —Tony Rosati "Found this on TikTok. Only works on thicker bottles. Will not work on the long Nuk sippy cups or Dr. Brown's bottles." —Bellaxwin Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors and as sets). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman loves these: "I recently received a pack to try and was surprised at how often I found myself reaching for them. While they can't replace a sponge (at least not in my cleaning routine because they're not as abrasive as a sponge), they are a fantastic paper towel replacement in most scenarios. I keep one in my kitchen and bathroom to deal with puddles on the counter and by the faucet, spills, and crumbs. As someone who buys sponges in bulk, I usually forget which sponge is the dish sponge and which is the cleaning sponge. Now that I have these dishcloths to handle easy messes, I don't have to worry about accidentally washing my dishes with the sponge that has bleach and harsh chemicals on it." Promising review: "I heard about these on TikTok. I wanted something that simply absorbs my cleaner and what’s wet off the counter without streaking crap like most washcloths and sponges do. These showed up today sturdy and kinda weird. I sprayed my dirty, oily stovetop with cleaner, got one of the square sponges wet, and started wiping up the counters and stove. Hot diggity dog! I love this sponge already! Cleaned up completely and didn’t require multiple passes. When you use it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Great product!!!!" —Julie Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.90 (available in 10 color combos). The key is to start with an already clean shower — then, once a week, spray it down with this for upkeep so you don't have to deep clean quite as often! Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents and two sizes). It has a slide-in closing panel with a lock so you can restrict access when you don't want your pets going out, and the whole thing is easily removed thanks to its spring-loaded frame that lets you lift it right out of the sliding door track. Promising review: "My dog absolutely LOVES this. He can go outside whenever he wants and come in whenever he wants. We love it too because we don't have to constantly open the door or be summoned to open it. The installation was pretty easy but do purchase your own weather stripping. Our sliding door didn't sit airtight to the insert so we added weather stripping. The flap itself is well-made; it has a magnet on the bottom that is drawn to a magnet at the bottom of the door unit so it snaps into place when the dog goes in or out. It is very windy here, and that flap does not move or let in dust from the windstorms. No problem with rain either. We have a secure backyard so this allows our dog to go out to potty or explore or sunbathe while we are gone. It also comes with a plastic piece to block off the flap so the dog cannot go outside. This was helpful when we had a contractor in the yard." —Melly Get it from Amazon for $158.36+ (available in two colors, two heights, and five door sizes). It can hold up to 1.2 pounds of beans or 1.5 pounds of ground coffee. Styled Settings is a small biz that offers a variety of kitchen essentials. Promising review: "I love it! The white and gold looks so classy and elegant on my counter space in my kitchen. It gives aesthetics. It feels sturdy, well made, and easy to use. Whether you’re storing beans or grounds, this one is a must have. I’m using it for grounds. ☺️" —Felicia Watkins Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three styles and as a two-pack). Promising review: "I upgraded from the 1st Gen AirPods Pro, and all I can say is wow. These are on another level. The sound quality is a significant improvement — richer, clearer, and more immersive. The fit is super comfortable, and the noise cancellation is noticeably improved. What really blows me away is how seamlessly they switch between my iPhone, MacBook, and work laptop. The connection is instant every time — no fumbling, no delays. Simply put, these are phenomenal. I absolutely love these AirPods and can’t imagine going back." —Paul A. 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 $19.99+ (available in four styles). Promising review: "This is absolutely genius! This is the best product to hold your kids Legos! Any bigger and the bag would be to heavy to carry. I don’t understand what other reviews are saying about not having the top close, yes the top doesn’t zip but there is a zipper tucked nicely inside the bag so if it does fall over nothing comes out. Looks very nice in a bedroom, doesn’t look like a toy bin." —Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors). You also get six free months of access to 1:1 chats with certified sleep consultants (and other premium features) — after that, it's behind an optional subscription that costs $6.99/month or $69.99/year. Promising review: "We’ve used the Hatch every day for a few months now and it’s one of the few baby purchases I’d recommend as a MUST for a newborn. The white noise and night light combo has made bedtime feel calmer, and the app control is what really sets it apart. I really love the insights that the app provides about sleep for all stages of life. It’s helpful as a first-time parent! The moment it won me over was the first time our baby was finally asleep and I realized the volume was just slightly too loud. Not enough to wake them, but enough to make me worry I’d regret it later. Instead of creeping into the room and risking a creaky door, I turned it down from my couch on the app. Baby stayed asleep, and I felt like I’d pulled off a tiny miracle. Same goes for the opposite if we’re watching a loud movie and don’t want to wake up our baby. The sound quality is excellent, the light is perfect for middle-of-the-night feeds without blasting the whole room, and the scheduling feature makes it easy to keep a consistent routine. It’s not the cheapest sound machine, but after four months of daily use, it’s been reliable and completely worth it." —Joseph Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in four colors). Bounce Curl is a small business that specializes in curl brushes. Check out a TikTok of the Edgelift Curl Brush in action. Promising review: "Best brush hands down, I am a mixed girl with thick curly hair, and when I run this brush through my hair wet, it does magic. My curls after using this in the shower to detangle are amazing, then I use my choice of product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp but separate effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in five colors). EyeVac is a small business that specializes in vacuums for home and commercial use. Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —AC Get it from Amazon for $169 (available in three colors). The system includes: a 200-watt motor base, a blending blade, a 32-ounce batch bowl with a lid, a 12-ounce short cup with handles and a re-sealable lid, six storage cups with date ring lids and storage tray, a silicone freezer tray with a lid, and a recipe book with tips for age-appropriate food transitions. Everything is dishwasher safe BTW! Promising review: "Loved making baby food with these! The containers were perfect portions, and I loved the dial on the lid so you could remember what day you made what. It was very easy to use and also very easy to clean. Love that I could dishwash every piece!" —Mary B Promising review: "It’s the perfect size for a car, not too big and not too small. I can use a grocery bag inside of it. Very easy to detach and clip onto the seat. Makes cleaning my car much easier! It is thick and the inside is water proof. So it’s also a nice quality can to have to avoid messes!" —Brianna .M Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors and two sizes). Promising review: "I'm not one to write reviews; however, this small cooler/lunch box deserves one. This small cooler is totally worth paying the extra money. I filled it up with sushi rolls for a concert and it stayed very cold for over 10 hours. The cold packs I placed inside were still frozen after all that time! It is also roomy, a nice soft material and very stylish, and the shoulder strap option makes it more functional. I love it!" —Leticia Hampton Get it from Amazon for $75+ (available in 22 colors and three sizes).
