23 Home Products That’ll Make You Want To Stay In Next Weekend And Enjoy Your Rent

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-08-19 05:03

1. A splurge-worthy heated eye massager,aka the first thing you'll want to slap on your face after a long, exhausting week. It's got five different massage modes, letting you customize your chill time, plus a 15-minute auto-off timer and Bluetooth music integration. Reviewers say it's helped with eye strain, headaches, puffy under-eye circles, and even insomnia. Once you put it on, all weekend plans are instantly canceled.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

If you've had any eye operations or have conditions like retina issues, cataracts, or glaucoma, it's not advised to use this product. Consult a medical professional if you're unsure.

Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $57.99+ (available in four colors).

2. A Ninja Slushi maker slushifying literally anything you can dream of — coffee, soda, juice, chocolate milk, *cough cough* CUTWATER (OMG, who said that). Just pour your liquid of choice in, pick one of the five preset settings, and let the magic happen. It’s the perfect excuse to invite your pals over for a movie marathon, with frosty, delicious creations in hand. Frozen margs on demand in this heat? Um, YES PLEASE

Amazon, www.amazon.com

No ice is required to create your frozen concoctions, and the process takes 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the ingredients, volume, and starting temperature. It's essential to include sugar for the mixture to achieve the perfect slush; sugar-free recipes alone won't achieve the desired consistency. To ensure optimal slushing, consider adding one of the recommended sugar substitutes (included in the recipe book).

Promising review: "The Ninja Slushi is an absolute gem for anyone who loves frozen drinks! It’s incredibly easy to use — just pour in your favorite soda, juice, or cocktail mix, pick a preset, and in under an hour, you’ve got a perfectly slushy treat. I made a cherry cola slush that tasted just like a 7-Eleven Slurpee, and the texture was spot-on. The machine is quiet, easy to clean with its rinse cycle and dishwasher-safe parts, and the 88-oz capacity is great for sharing. It’s a bit bulky, but the fun and delicious drinks make it worth the counter space. Highly recommend for summer parties or daily treats." —Raj

Get it from Amazon for $349.99.

3. A cute and cozy coloring book filled with adorable illustrations that are perfect for melting away stress and helping you find your zen. If your dream day involves lying up with a snack stash and zero plans, this is your ticket to creative bliss without any haunting adult pressures. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These books are absolutely amazing. I can spend hours coloring. It’s a perfect hobby to decompress and disconnect from the world. I love using them during my quiet time, especially after a warm bath with some cozy music in the background, the illustrations are beautiful and relaxing and it’s honestly one of the best mindfulness activities I’ve picked up! Just a quick tip: if you are using markers, definitely put a sheet of paper behind the page you’re coloring to prevent bleed-through, not sure if it’s the markers I use or the paper but it helps protect the next design. Overall, I love these books and already have a couple lined up to start next." —The Foster Evans

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

4. And a set of vibrant 120 acrylic paint markers that glide on like a dream and blend effortlessly, turning anything you doodle into a masterpiece that’ll have you clearing wall space for your very own gallery.

Jordan Grigsby / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jordan Grigsby says: "I have these and, well, you can see from the pics above how absolutely amazing they are. I'm beyond obsessed. I love coloring; I have very very terrible anxiety so I like to do little things that relax me, and keep my mind focused on one thing that's happening right in that moment so that my mind isn't racing all day. I had been eyeing these Disney color-by-number coloring books I had seen on TikTok and knew I wanted quality markers to color in them. I had *also* seen these all over TikTok, and they're much cheaper than the Tooli brand, plus, 120 markers for $55 vs 30 Tooli markers for $35 — it was a no-brainer. I have not a single regret in buying these bad boys. They make my pictures look freaking GORGEOUS. I can't stop coloring now, I color for at least an hour or two every day. And they don't bleed through!! Which surprised me cuz I do at least 3 layers for darker colors and like 5–8 layers for lighter colors. No bleed through in the slightest. I highly recommend both the coloring book and definitely these markers if you love to color. Now I want the 168-pack."

5. A Roku HD streaming stick to upgrade your older TV model with smart TV capabilities so you can stream all of your favorite entertainment...like rewatching Serena's crash out and Movie Night from Love Island season 6 over and over (I live for the draammaaa). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You can also use voice commands to control settings with ease.

Promising review: "My smart TV was getting older and being really slow and glitchy. I popped in this Roku stick and now everything seems to move fast again; it makes watching TV far less frustrating. I prefer the Roku interface over the Fire TV Stick interface. It’s smooth and intuitive and easy to use. Good value for the money — and MUCH cheaper than buying a new TV!" —Jenni

Get it from Amazon for $19.

6. A PopLite personal popcorn maker that can churn out eight cups of that buttery, crunchy goodness in just two minutes. This bad boy is so easy to use, you could probably do it in your sleep. Just pop in some kernels, press a button, and boom – fresh, hot popcorn that's ready to devour straight out of the built-in serving bowl.

Get it from Amazon for $44.99

7. A Dazzle Dry Mini Kit, because sometimes the best summer plans involve chilling at home doing your nails. This kit includes everything you need for a flawless mani: a nail prep solution, a base coat, a chic nail polish color, a top coat, and a special "reviving solution" to keep things fresh. And! The polish dries in under five minutes, so you don't have to awkwardly fling your hands arond to make them dry faster.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I first got introduced to this polish system at a local spa while getting a pedicure. This is hands-down the best polish system I have ever used. It is so gentle on my sensitive nails and dries literally within five minutes. I buy the kit myself and do my nails and take the kit with me to the spa, I currently go to, because this is the only polish I will use ever again." —Lisa T

Get it from Amazon for $39 (available in 24 sets). 

8. A gaming/reading/laptop pillow so you can prop your hands up and play video games, type, or read on your Kindle or iPad from bed or the couch in an ~ergonomically friendly~ way that won't catch up with you (or your joints) a few years down the line. It even has a little side pocket ideal for stashing things like your remote controls, glasses, and emergency treats. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield 

Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in two sizes and another style).

9. An ultimate "girl dinner" plate for when you don't want a full meal but you're still feeling peckish. This cheeseboard (if you want to get technical) has the visuals so anyone can perfectly curate a range of snacks like cheese, crackers, strawberries and olives. Or, my personal "girl dinner" of choice: McDonald's nuggets, caviar from Whole Foods, and crème fraîche.

Amazon

Bonus: It's blank on the other side if you want to flip it over and use it for entertaining! 

Promising review: "Perfect. The charcuterie board looks exactly like the picture. I am very happy with it." —Joetta Adgate

Get it from Amazon for $15. 

10. A set of lightweight, oh-so-dainty ruffled pajamas that are the ultimate breezy loungewear for those awkward in-between months when it's still warm and not quite fall yet.

Reviewers rave about how the fabric feels just like linen, making it a total win for comfort and style.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So comfortable and so, so cute! From a pajama lover — I think these might just be my new favorites. I’ve tried all brands (designer and otherwise) and these top my list without a doubt. The ruffles are such a cute touch! Highly recommend!" —Melissa

11. A TikTok remote control ring on those days when you wouldn't dare to emerge from your perfectly wrapped blanket burrito, not even to scroll on your phone.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Nap Guardian is a small business that specializes in doorbell covers for home use. 

Promising review: "This is well-made and very easy to apply. I have it on my Ring doorbell camera, and it keeps delivery people from ringing my doorbell very well. It also does not obstruct my view or notifications for my Ring doorbell camera. Great for when taking a nap!" —Amazon Customer

Kyle Books, www.amazon.com

Helpfully, this book measures in grams *and* tablespoons, so you can bake however you prefer. 

Promising review: "I love this book and all of Edd Kimber's recipes! This book is perfect if you want to try baking a lot of things but don't have a big family or budget. The recipes are sized-down versions of all the classics plus other mouthwatering temptations. So you can try them all without wasting money on ingredients — standard recipes make 12–24 servings, too much for my small family. Small Batch Bakes recipes are for just 2–6 servings, much more reasonable and efficient. Also included are clever use-also recipes — like if recipe A calls for 1 egg white, you can easily find a recipe B that uses that 1 egg yolk. Such a smart book to put out, thank you Edd Kimber!!" —Emily McGee

Get it from Amazon for $14.54.

16. A DIY crochet kit if you’ve been considering a fun new hobby that’s equal parts relaxing and rewarding, *or* you're a seasoned pro seeking a chill side project — it's perfect for any skill level!

Promising reviews: "After seeing these all over I knew I had to buy one for the crochet lover in my life. Even very experienced-in-crochet people find this relaxing and enjoyable as a fun side project on a rainy day. Because they had prior experience, they did not need the video instructions and were able to complete the Wooble with just the written ones. They often commented on the quality and ease of completing this kit. Thinking about trying it out myself now!" —Morgan K

"I already love to crochet, but got this as a gift for a newb. Let's just say she's now hooked on the craft (see what I did there?) and is now developing a yarn problem." —Honest Reviewer

Get it from Amazon for $29.96+ (available in six styles).

17. Three pairs of ~tingly~ warming foot masks infused with a soothing blend of Epsom salt and menthol — the gentle warmth helps these ingredients dive deep into your foot muscles for instant relief, while shea butter and essential oils leave your skin incredibly soft and moisturized. They're perfect for anyone who's on their feet all day — like this hairstylist who gave them a glowing "10/10" rating.

www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "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!" 

Get three pairs from Amazon for $11.97.

www.amazon.com

Each kit comes with a simple design, a cotton cloth, a bamboo embroidery hoop, little scissors, colored threads, embroidery needles, and instructions.

Promising review: "I’ve never done anything like this before...but I like to try new things, and I’ve just recently moved and wanted to decorate my house with some handmade decor. This kit is a great value for the price! It came with the hoop, more than enough thread, and two needles! The printed pattern is very clear and easy to follow, and the little sheet of instructions on what stitch to use and how to do it is clear enough (and anything I don’t understand I just watch a tutorial on YouTube). I’m about three hours into the project already and I didn’t want to put it down last night. I was up until 2 a.m. stitching away! It’s fun, simple and it’s going to look very cute next to my collection of cacti!! Thank you for a great quality product, and for allowing me to add another hobby to my ever-growing stack!" —Abby

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 29 designs).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love this bathtub caddy so much! It’s exactly what I wanted. The sides extend, allowing you to adjust the length, and it even works with a tub that is built against a wall. I was worried the ledge nearest the wall wouldn’t be wide enough but this caddy works great! And the little iPhone slot is a nice touch. Definitely recommend! Buy it! You won’t regret it." —Bailey

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in five colors).

21. And a bath overflow drain cover so you can sink into a blissful bath that’s full-to-the-brim without worrying about any water draining away.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Don't worry, it doesn't block your overflow drain completely but rather moves it up several inches — there's a small hole at the top of this cover that still allows excess water to safely drain.

SlipX Solutions is a small business that specializes in safety-oriented shower and bath accessories.

Promising review: "I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it.

The main scent notes are jasmine, oud, and sandalwood.

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto
