    39 Products That Are Essential, Silly, Or Will Just Make You Say, "Hmm, Why Not"

    Wait till you get eyes on this blackhead-removing toy ๐Ÿ‘€

    1. Aย ChomChom rollerย ready to put your regular old lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out โ€” this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out.

    A gif showing how to use the roller to clean your furniture
    A hairy dirty pilowcase
    A now clean case

    Promising review: "I have a long haired German Shepherd aka a 'German Shedder' and two cats so I live with animal fur โ€” nothing I can do about it, or so I THOUGHT. The ChomChom is by far the best way to get rid of animal fur in my opinion. This thing is godlike, it makes fabric look so fresh, works perfectly on my suede couches and leaves that 'soft suede' look on them. It does what it's supposed to do perfectly, and it captures all the hair in an easy-to-clean bin. Works excellent on items like furniture and upholstery/car interior. Items like clothing or curtains need to be held down because of the rolling back and forth motion. I think it would make an AMAZING gift for anyone with pets." โ€”Victor T.

    Get it from Amazon for $31.95.

    2. Aย pair of *affordable* down-alternative cooling pillows if you're a particularly sweaty sleeper and getting ready for A/C season.ย 

    Promising review: "My philosophy.., you need to love your job and love your bed because that's where you spend most of your hours. Anyway, I don't work anymore but I dang sure love my bed! High-quality mattress, nice linens, and THESE pillows! They are PERFECT!!!! There isn't a single thing that can be improved because they are like sleeping on a cloud that supports you perfectly... 100 out of 10 stars! We stayed at the Aria in Vegas for my bachelorette party and had several rooms... the first morning we were ALL talking about the pillows! I'm pretty sure these are the same ones!" โ€”Shawna Hathaway

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $61.37+ (available in Queen and King sizes and in two materials).ย 

    3. Someย Lee Beauty callus removerย which eliminates the hard skin on your hooves (ahem, :::clears throat::: feet) if you're too terrified to face the glorified cheese grater at your local salon.ย 

    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...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 used tubs at the nail salon anymore." โ€”Key2Del

    Get it from Amazon for $17.49+ย (also available in a two-pack).

    4. A gooseneck tablet and phone standย you can hook up to your bed frame or nightstand so you can mindlessly scroll TikTok โ€” look, Ma, no hands! โ€” while Netflix also plays in the background. ๐Ÿ˜ˆย

    Reviewer photo of the stand in black clipped to the bedframe and holding an iPad above a pillow

    Promising review: "For years, I saw my wife watch her Korean dramas and YouTube videos in bed, lying on her side with her phone or iPad propped on a pillow! This was not comfortable or easy to move around if interrupted. Got her this and we like it so much I bragged about it and purchased another one for a family member!" โ€”Z

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ย (available in black and white).

    5. Someย Elizavecca Cer-100 collagen coating hair protein treatmentย โ€” it's just $7 andย reviewers claim it delivers results just as impressive as another brand that may or may not rhyme with ~PolaFlex.~ย

    Bek O' Connell / Via www.buzzfeed.com

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I saw this as a beauty recommendation on BuzzFeed so I thought I would give it a try โ€” and I'm so thankful I did! My bleached and heat-damaged hair feels so soft, is more manageable, and looks healthier after each use. I agree with other reviewers that it seems like a big price tag for the size of the bottle, but a little bit does go a long way and it is so worth it. I wish it came in a larger size bottle so I didn't have to reorder so quickly." โ€”Carly S. Whitson

    Get it from Amazon for $7.29.

    BuzzFeed contributorย Bek O' Connell has this and loves it! Check out her full Elizavecca Protein Hair Treatment reviewย for more info.ย 

    6. Aย Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Penย which can brighten your smile by four to eight shades with regular use. Whether your stains are due toย coffee, tea, more coffee, wine, yet more coffee...or soda, this is sure to help.ย 

    Promising review: "I really liked this product because it gave me significant results in just a few days. I have tried other whitening products but I definitely think this one is my favorite because it's not only easy to use but also works very well. There is also no weird aftertaste, and all I do is keep my mouth open wide for around 30 seconds. The whitening capabilities were also great, and I know this because my teeth were stained before but now they are not. Lastly these pens were very easy to use because all you have to do is twist the dial at the bottom of the pen clockwise, and product comes out. So overall I would rate this pen a 10/10 and I am definitely planning on buying more." โ€”Roy Joseph

    Get a set of two pens from Amazon for $19.99ย (also available in whitening strips).

    7. And โ€” while we're on the topic of dental hygiene โ€” aย "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles. One layer being regular firm ones, and the other being longer ones that are ten times thinner and mimic floss as they get between your teeth but are gentle on your gums.ย 

    A toothbrush with two layers of bristles, one long and thin and one shorter and thicker
    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    Mouthwatchersย is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes inย antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.ย 

    Promising review: "I've been using Dr. Plotka's toothbrushes for awhile now, and I can't emphasize enough how good these are. I'm 55 years old, so I've used a brand or two in my day. These, hands down, are the best I've ever used. The bristles are very thin so you are actually flossing as you brush. Because the bristles are as thin as they are, I just assumed they'd wear out super fast, but I was wrong, it's surprisingly durable. I wasย skepticalย buying this toothbrush after reading through some of the comments that said that the bristles were sharp and painful on the gums. However, the statement 'naturally eliminates 99.9% of bacteria' hooked me, and I'm glad I took a chance. I've never been one that liked soft bristle toothbrushes because I just never felt like it was enough. The bristles are soft โ€” but with a punch. I'm having to use less effort getting my teeth clean because the thin bristles get right in between my teeth. I definitely highly recommend this product." โ€”Lisa Stepanski

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90.ย 

    8. A fur-eliminating broom capable of squeegeeing enough fur from your carpet that if magically animated โ€” you know, like those brooms in Fantasia โ€” it would transform into a Pekingese.

    Promising review: "After 14 years together, I finally let my husband convince me to get an indoor dog. He's a 60-pounder now and sheds so flipping much, my husband was a little concerned I'd be filing divorce papers soon because the hair grosses me out. My mother-in-law bought this for me (probably for the sake of our marriage), and I was soย skeptical, I didn't use it for about a month. Once I did, I have been amazed at how much this thing picks up even after sweeping with a regular broom, I couldn't STOP using it! The size is able to reach further under chairs, tables, and couches than I could with a broom and reaches places my vacuum can't. It picks up SO MUCH dog hair, I use it twice a day to keep my floors (where our dog normally is throughout the day) clean. I have even used this behind my bedroom dresser to reach YEARS worth of built-up dust that hadn't been touched. I have already bought one for a friend of mine who has several small indoor dogs, and she LOVES this tool, too. She uses it every day. I really like the hand-held small one too for cloth furniture." โ€”Tina

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight configurations).

    9. A tube ofย Essence's Lash Princess mascaraย to give you a falsies-level look for less than 5 bucks. It seems questionable, I know, but for confirmation you need only to look at theย 224,000+ 5-star reviews!!

    buzzfeed editor's eyes before and after using the mascara with the done lashes looking darker and longer
    Kayla Boyd / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd tried this out and raves:ย 

    "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes without the discomfort."

    Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I canโ€™t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like wild...and this stuff doesnโ€™t budge! I love it!!" โ€”Carrie E Miller

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ย (also available in a three-pack).

    10. A leave-in conditioner for little ones with curly locks that are prone to tangles and breakage.ย Keratin, plum seed oil, and olive oil combine to leave them with shiny, healthy, incredible-smelling ringlets you can't help but sniff.ย 

    Promising review: "This leave-in conditioner has been amazing not only for my 18 month old's curls, but my hair as well! It smells amazing, is very hydrating, and is well worth all of the hype it gets! I have seen a few negative reviews about alcohol being a main ingredient, but the agent being used is Ceteral alcohol and this is actually a HYDRATING agent that's used in a lot of beauty products. People see the word alcohol and immediately assume it is drying, BUT the chemical composition of this specific alcohol is great for hair that needs more moisture! I just felt the need to write this review because I have looked for a great hair detangler/leave-in for so long (and have even used luxury products) and this one has been our favorite by far :)" โ€”Taylor Rose

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in packs of one or two).

    11. A bottle ofย COSRX snail mucin essenceย which addressesย dullness and dehydration with โ€” yesย ๐Ÿ˜Œ โ€” 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! ๐ŸŒย ย 

    a reviewer's before and after showing a significant reduction in acne and dark spots
    the snail mucin essence

    Promising review: "So I have been using this for a month and I have to say โ€” AMAZING. It really has helped my dark spots, which are also tied to my hormones. So the fact that it lightens them and keeps them from getting dark again during my period is a testament to the power of this stuff. Plus, this stuff just keeps going!! One pump is enough for my face, or two for my face and neck. Because of this it will last! It works amazingly well and considering how much you get, this is an amazing product. I highly recommend it." โ€”JH

    Get it from Amazon for $25.

    12. Aย pack of K-Cup cleaning podsย that're basically like a full-body tune-up for your coffee maker. Just look at the nasty stuff it flushes out!

    three cups of dirty water that get progressively cleaner with each rinse
    reviewer image of cleaning K-cup placed inside Keurig

    Promising review: "OK, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0 and I had no issues." โ€”Mads0421

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95+ย (also available in a pack of 12 and 18).

    13. An as-seen-on-Shark-Tankย seat gap fillerย you can pop in your center console to ensure you never drop another french fry, phone, or credit card into that evil little crevice!!!ย

    Check it out on TikTokย here!ย 

    Promising review: "I bought this product because I saw it on Shark Tank. I was a littleย skepticalย at first so I installed it and tried dropping my car keys into the seat gap and surely enough they wouldn't fall in. I tried dropping them from every position; in front of the seat buckle, behind the seat buckle, in the middle of the seat gap, you name it, and no matter where I put my keys, they just wouldn't fall through.ย This product should be in every car! I'm so impressed by this product I've bought additional Drop Stops for every member of my immediate family." โ€”Amazon Customer

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.

    14. Some ofย L'Oreal's 8 Second Wonder Waterย which will visibly moisturize your hair so you can whip your 'do around just like a Jennifer (your choice of Anniston/Garner/Lopez) in a hair commercial.ย

    a reviewer's long curly hair

    Promising review: "I donโ€™t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didnโ€™t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have completely different hair textures.ย I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one because of the alcohol consumption. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this! I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." โ€”Theressa Hailey

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    15. An easily washable drip catcher if *nothing* grinds your gears quite like a soapy counter puddle after you just spent precious minutes cleaning dishes because you're not part of the 1% (AKA โ€“ the dishwasher-owning class).

    TwoLilacsStudio / Etsy

    Two Lilacs Studio is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon run by Jacy Stratton.

    Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." โ€”Alina

    Get it from Two Lilacs Studio on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).

    16. Aย Tony Moly black head scrub stickย which may be smol, but is mega mighty. With a few swipes, itย gently removesย blackheads, whiteheads, and excess sebum so your T-zone can get a much-deserved breather.ย

    See it in action on TikTok here.ย 

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, and then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." โ€”LuckLocust

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50.ย 

    17. A flexible universal tablet stand if you're very much an adult but identify as an iPad baby. With this nifty gadget, you can use your tablet in a hands-free manner anywhere โ€” even the couch or your bed.

    BTW โ€” Tablift is a small business created by Scott Blevins after he had trouble finding a tablet stand for his bed. This is compatible with Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, and most other tablets (but you may have to remove the case in some cases).

    Promising review: "I literally haveย neverย reviewedย a product I've bought on Amazon before. This product, however, is worth the time. Works perfectly for my iPad while laying in bed. We are part of the tiny house community, thisย leavesย few options for most stands. I do not have anyplace to clip a stand, and forget about floor space for the larger ones. This suited my needs perfectly! It also has several spots for different view in angles. Last but not least, it folds up to a very manageable size!" โ€”Tara M. Riley

    Get it from Tablift on Amazon for $34.47.

    18. A tub ofย Juno & Co.'s cleansing balmย as it combines the powers of pearl barley and vitamin E to brighten skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, refine texture, and remove impurities (or, say, 10 layers of mascara).ย

    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).ย With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1,000/10 would recommend!!!" โ€”Deetje Frederick

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.ย 

    19. Aย Habit Nยฐ41 sunscreen mister so you can reapply your SPF on the go without even having to touch your face! It also goes on ~over~ makeup without issue.ย

    You can expect notes of rose geranium and lavender and rosemary with every spritz โ€” plus, this bb is also vegan, cruelty-free, and from a small, NYCโ€“based biz!

    Promising review: "I LOVE this sunscreen. It smells AMAZING and the mist is SO fine that you donโ€™t feel it on your skin at all. The bottle is small enough that you can reapply all day by keeping it in your bag. My partner has started to steal it, too, so now weโ€™re a Habit household." โ€”Habit Customer

    Get it from Habit for $30.

    20. A bottle of dog spot repair if your puppy has a favorite pee spot and it shows... This stuff will get new grass growin' in no time so you can get ready to host your legendary BBQs.

    Promising review:ย โ€œWe purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. Works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!โ€ โ€”Jessica N.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.49+ (available in five sizes and four styles).

    21. A tub ofย The Pink Stuff, which can clean anything you throw at it โ€” pots and pans, stove tops, showers, and even that Mountain Dew spill you "forgot about" in the fridge.ย

    Promising reviews: "I saw someone using this on TikTok, and I wasย skepticalย at first, but for $7, I thought I'd try it anyway. I am SO glad I bought this! I had a hair dye stain on the bottom of my bathtub for about a year from dyeing my hair at home, and I tried EVERYTHING...nail polish remover, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Scrubbing Bubbles foam spray, etc., with no avail. I also had calcium stains on the drain of my bathtub and sink that were a pain to get out. This product erased all of these stains with ease and made it look like they were never there! This is your sign to buy this...I am so happy!" โ€”Savannah Martin

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ย (available in two sizes).

    22. A blackhead-removing toyย you can pick and prod with tweezers like you're performing surgery alongside your Grey's Anatomy colleagues. But for real, it helps if you're prone to picking your skin or pulling out hair when you're stressed!!

    Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." โ€”Danika Hill

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ย (available in 17 styles).ย 

    23. A pair of prism spectacles if you always have a boatload of work to get done but just can't drag yourself out of bed... Now, you can still clock in or finish that essay you've been dragging your feet on without even sitting upright.

    Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." โ€”Michael Boyd

    Get them from Amazon for $12.88.

    24. A set of Miracle-Gro spikes guaranteed to revive your potted plants with all of the micronutrients they've been missing. They're safe to use with any indoor plant and work for a full two months.

    Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violet plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." โ€”Elizabeth

    Get them from Amazon for $9.83.

    25. A decorative cat towelย that'll silently watch you microwave your day-old pizza or scroll TikTok on the toilet.ย

    Promising review: "I did not buy this to actually use as a towel. To me it doesnโ€™t seem like it would be good at serving this purpose as the material is not very absorbent, however it is great for decoration purposes. It is really, really adorable! I love how thereโ€™s little snap buttons to keep it in place.ย I highly recommend this as a decorative gift for the cat lover in your life or for yourself if you love kitties! Great purchase!" โ€”Crystal

    Amazon

    The notepad โ€” from woman-owned small biz Bloom Daily Planners โ€” has your meal plan on one side and a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off and take with you on the other side.

    Promising review: "Iโ€™ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone, then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. Its being magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but itโ€™s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." โ€”Samantha M.

    Get it from Bloom Daily Planners on Amazon for $7.99+ย (available in five designs).

    28. A HyperChiller beverage cooler that allows you to turn hot coffee into iced coffee in 60 seconds flat. Just make a promise with yourself โ€” that you'll fill the container with water and keep it in your freezer so it's always ready when you need it.

    Amazon

    The dishwasher-safe container can also be used to cool chill tea, juice, wine, or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either.

    Promising review: "I am an avid (i.e. daily) iced coffee drinker, but I have been extremely hesitant to make my own iced coffee at home because I didnโ€™t want the bitter flavor from two-day old coffee or the watered-down nature of just adding ice to coffee. Thanks to the HyperChiller, I have now found a solution!!! The HyperChiller worked like a CHARM today!!! I was able to create my own iced coffee directly from my coffee maker in the comfort of my own home. I guarantee this item will be used frequently! Great job!" โ€”Chelsea

    Get it from Amazon $23.99+ย (available in four colors).

    29. Someย Freck Beauty highlighterย which blends with ease and lasts a longggg time so you can apply it once and not have to dedicate even 10 more seconds to touching up your look later on in the day.

    Remi Brixton is the founder of OG faux-freckle cosmetic company Freck Beauty. Her small brand is a clean, vegan makeup line based in Los Angeles, California. Remi, along with the team behind Freck Beauty, is known for creating an attitude: products made for anyone who cares about ingredients, respects the process, but doesnโ€™t care about the rules.

    My BuzzFeed colleague Jasmin Sandal is a fan. Here's what she has to say:

    "I consider myself *blessed* to have been able to try out this powerful, feels-so-good-on-the-skin beauty product. It comes in three highly pigmented shades that complement different skin tones. And depending on the occasion, all three really do work for my darker complexion. Big Bang features a green/gold shimmer, Beam Machine a bronze/pink, and Space Face has a violet/purple hue. I like to think Beam Machine is perfect for an everyday glow, Big Bang for a fancy dinner party, and Space Face for when I know I'm going out out."

    Get it from Sephora for $19.50ย (originally $28; available in three shades).

    30. A scalp care brush so you can treat your noggin to a salonworthy massage right at home. The tool can also help get rid of dandruff so you can spend less time worrying about it accumulating all over your dark tee.

    A reviewer showing new hair growth after consistently using the scalp brush

    Promising review: "Iโ€™ve had a dry, flaking scalp for about a year now (pretty much started when I was pregnant and hadnโ€™t gone away). I got this, and HOLY MOLY my flakes are gone! Itโ€™s made out of a silicone-type material and the little 'bristles' are flexible but still get the job done. I can literally brush my hair with shampoo in and it doesnโ€™t get tangled. Itโ€™s amazing. Not only do I have zero flakes now, I feel like using this does a way better job at working the shampoo in and getting your hair and scalp really clean. I have super thick hair and no matter how much shampoo I use or how long I scrub my hair, I felt like the back, underneath part of my hair would sometimes stay dirty. This brush gets all that." โ€”Meg R

    31. An angled dry-erase desktop whiteboard where you can jot down notes or play a game of M.A.S.H. while you're half-paying attention to an all-hands meeting.

    Promising review: "Never thought something analog would be SO useful in my daily routine. I work from home and am constantly project managing multiple complex strategic projects. Having pertinent information directly in front of me and top of mind has done incredible things for my productivity. Never would have imagined it would make such a difference. For a nominal investment, I highly recommend it if you have trouble keeping up with things." โ€”Captainflapjax

    32. A viral tube ofย Youthforia BYO blush oilย whichย provides a unique glow with every application as the color-changing formula reacts to your skinโ€™s natural pH level. Since it's blendable and buildable, you can swipe on as little or as much as you like.

    It's also packed with 20 plant-based antioxidant-dense oils so just in case you *gasp* sleep in it, you'll still wake up with clear skin! It's suitable for all skin types, fragrance-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.

They are passionate about being environmentally-friendly and not using fossil fuels or gross toxins in their products.

    Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glow-y color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." โ€”Summer

    33. A set of heel caps so you don't become one with the Earth during the 10+ spring weddings you have coming up.ย

    Promising review: "I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." โ€”J. L. Dossey

    34. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets you can affix to your fridge and then quickly crosscheck when you're in the middle of making chicken fingers. That way, you don't have to wash all the eggs and breadcrumbs off your hands and fumble with your phone to pull up Google.

    Promising review: "So glad that I came across these. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy having them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" โ€”Small~Town~Girl

    Get them from Amazon for $9.75+ (available in five styles).

    35. A set of sheet keeper bands if nothing sends you into a red hot rage quicker than reaching into your linen closet and pulling out every single fitted sheet *except* for the one you're looking for.

    36. Aย grooming glove so you can give your pet all the love they desire while covertly brushing away mats and tangles, too. Use it on wet or dry fur (it's great in the bath) and on your feline friends as well.

    Promising review: "I was prettyย skepticalย of this goofy looking glove. But I saw it in an article of '21 Things You Must Have for Your Cat' and figured, what the heck. My big Maine Coone freaking loves this thing. It is mess free. My favorite thing about it is all of the fur comes off in one piece. It's not messy. And this is half the price than the ones you see at the store in the 'As seen on TV' section. Gonna make it a lot easier to brush my fluffy cat every day." โ€”Breeze

    37. And/or aย Dyson-compatible brush attachment you can pop on the end of your vacuum to give your pup a salon-worthy grooming right at home.

    What's included: Combing tool attachment and an adapter to expand compatibility (it works with the Dyson V6 through V11).

    Promising review: "I could not write a better review for a better product โ€” this thing is absolutely amazing. We have two German shepherds, a husky mix, and a a long-haired mini Aussie. I was skeptical about how well this would work because I bought other vacuum attachments in the past, but this thing blew my expectations out of the water. Itโ€™s absolutely amazing, even with just a light brushing on our dogs it removed more than an entire canister of hair." โ€”Shiane cleland

    39. And a strawberry Pocky AirPod case that's not only an *incredibly* perfect shade of pink, but also functionally sounds as it makes much easier to track down your headphones in the black hole that is your errand-running tote bag.

    Promising review: "As someone who loses stuff easily, like my last set of AirPods, it's super nice to have something with a noticeable thickness and be super cute at the same time! Everything fits perfect for the case, I simply slipped it on with no signs of wiggling or sliding off. 10/10 recommend for a gift and self accessory โ˜†." โ€”Jordan
