1. A lightweight Nivea gel-cream you'll get for its ability to firm skin, but love for the 72-hour moisture it offers. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and coenzyme Q10, this miracle-worker can help hydrate skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. 

www.amazon.com

PSA: You will have to commit to consistent use; that's the only way reviewers say they were able to see results. The brand recommends applying twice a day. Read more about how Q10 benefits the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

3. A Pikk-it hair-removal tool that'll help you pull out all the hair and fur caught in your vacuum head. Finally, you can more effectively clean your floors without secretly wishing your fluffy pet was born hairless. Reviewers also use this to clean their hairbrushes!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Does the trick of getting hair out of the roller. Happy I bought it." —Pat S

"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

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

4. An inflatable sunbathing lounger, because the beach isn't the only place on the planet where you can get a tan. And since it has two drink holders, you can stay hydrated with your Owala and have a little fun with a tumbler full of margarita. So grab your sunscreen, adjust the removable pillow, and get that oh-so-sacred vitamin D. Plus, it can also be used as a floatie if you've got a pool!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is seriously the best 'lounge tanning chair' I have ever had! I don’t have a pool, and most days I have some time to lie out and enjoy the sun for an hour or two. This thing is soooo comfortable, and the pillow is perfect! Just add however much water you want to keep cool, get your favorite playlist out and a refreshing drink, and get your tan on in your backyard or deck! Buy it! It’s worth every penny." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).

5. A portable stainless-steel tabletop firepit so you can make s'mores anytime you want! And its low-smoke feature is all thanks to its 360-degree airflow design — cool air enters through the bottom vents, heats, and then feeds the fire to create a second combustion. That means the fire burns more completely and produces less smoke! No need to spend a scrillion dollars on a name brand version...

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So much fun on a summer evening. East to light, empty, and clean. Smokeless, unless your fire is not lighting. No difference I can tell from the Solo Stove, excellent quality. Gives off a good amount of heat, too." —S Robles

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

6. A pair of lightweight tinted lip balms if you've been dying to try Clinique's Black Honey lip balm, but $25 is too steep a price to pay for just one stick. This cheaper alternative is subtle, buildable, and packed with nutritious ingredients like vitamin E, beeswax, and candelilla wax. Enhance your lips' natural color with this non-sticky and long-lasting balm!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Even BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is shook:

"I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack, so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "I am shocked at how much this lipstick is like Clinique Black Honey. It is a perfect match. I was raised on Clinique and know their product, especially the Black Honey line. But this product is perfection without paying the Clinique price. Will be a regular customer." —Boulware Family 83406

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in one other color and individual packs).

7. A pack of bug bite patches designed with bug-magnet-y kids in mind. These patches contain hydrocolloid, aloe, and witch hazel to help with itchiness (but let's be real, they really just help make sure your little ones don't scratch themselves raw 😬).

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Quitch is a small business founded by moms who were tired of using bug spray on their kids! Adult reviewers are loving 'em, too!

Promising review: "I was honestly skeptical about buying these. My son (15 months) is too little for Benadryl or any anti-itch cream, so I bought them for our upcoming camping trip to try. Little did I know, they would come in handy sooner! My son got bitten by a mosquito near his eye. This caused major swelling and irritation. As mentioned, he’s too little for medicine. I put a patch on, and the results speak for themselves. I’m amazed, and they helped my son not scratch the area. They’re so little and super sticky, he doesn’t even notice it’s on. I added a photo of the patch about five hours after application, and you can see how full it is. I will definitely be purchasing again!" —Sierra

Get a 27-pack from Amazon for $9.95 (available in more multipacks).

8. A travel-size Bounce anti-static and wrinkle-release spray because you don't wanna walk around looking like you just rolled out of bed...even if you did.

And if you're wearing that shirt for the third time this week (hey, no judgment!), this spray also works as an odor eliminator!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m not usually blown away by products, in fact, I’m used to being a little disappointed. But not with this product! This stuff is perfect for traveling. It got rid of wrinkles and static quickly, and the scent is an added bonus. Would definitely recommend and will be buying more." —DdWojo 

Get it from Amazon for $6.05.

9. An undoubtedly necessary dog piñata you can fill with treats or kibble so you can watch your new favorite live show: Adorable Pup Jumps for Treats!

Third Wheelis a small business!

You can either hang it up or hold the cord yourself; it's up to you!

Promising review: "We love this dog piñata! My small dog, Kimchi, has the best time with it. He gets so excited every time I pull it out, eagerly waiting for me to hang it up so he can start 'hitting' it to release the treats inside. It’s such a great active brain-game for him, keeping him engaged and having fun.

"The piñata itself is really well made, and I was impressed that it came with everything I needed to assemble it right out of the box; no extra effort required on my part. It’s sturdy and holds up well, even with Kimchi’s excitement. I highly recommend this for any pet owner looking for a fun, interactive toy for their dog." —Kayla

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision is no longer perfect, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble trying to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni

Get it from Amazon for $6.23.

Just be sure your devices support wireless charging!

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 $21.99+ (available in seven colors).

14. An alcohol-free roll-on Al Rehab perfume scented with citrus, vanilla, and vetiver. If you're not ready to be swimming in compliments on how luxuriously luscious you smell, this might not be the perfume for you (but I think it is). Reviewers also noted that the scent lasts all day long!

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This smells amazing. Like vanilla and lemon pound cake. Smells like spring and happiness and the color yellow." —LG

"This scent is heavenly if you like mild, sweet scents. It is very similar to Bath and Body Works' Champagne Toast body spray, but with a hint of lemon or orange added. It's lasted me over four months of daily wear, and one application is still detectable after eight hours of work." —Namea

Get it from Amazon for $4.32.

15. A pair of perfectly pastelwireless over-the-ear headphones if you've been trying to save up to get a pair of AirPods Max, but groceries and rent have other things in mind for your paychecks. These have super soft ear cushions and a padded headband for optimal comfort, as well as a built-in mic to take calls. There's a decent chance you'll forget all about those AirPods Max with these affordable alternatives blasting your fave tunes in your ears!

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has a few things to say about these headphones:

"I own a pair of these because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."

Promising review: "Absolutely love these headphones. I was worried about ear comfort because of some other reviews, but they are actually super comfortable for long periods of time. The sound quality is great and they have a GREAT battery life." —Kindle Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 

16. Or a pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds for all your music- and podcast-listening needs! And since they're waterproof, durable, and have a noise reduction feature, they're great for chillin' by the pool, working out, commuting, grocery shopping, and so much more. Even reviewers say these earbuds won't disappoint!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m not one that likes to spend much money on headphones. I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $10 lol. But I was looking for something better this time. This is probably the most I’ve spent on my earbuds, but my daughter has AirPods and these — for less than half the price — seem to be the same quality as those really expensive ones. They connected to my phone so quick and easy. They fit my ears perfectly and are so comfortable. The sound quality is great! I like that you can control music and phone calls by tapping the ear buds, and I no longer have to pull out my phone every time. The case and earbuds are so nice and feel very well-made. I really like that you can see the battery percentage on the case, and I especially like that I can charge the case using a wireless magnetic charger. I honestly don’t notice any difference between my daughter’s AirPods and these earbuds." —Tammy

Get it from Amazon for $25.98 (available in nine colors).

17. An inexpensive in-shower K-beauty hair protein treatment because it'll condition and repair dry, damaged, and over-processed hair in just 5–20 minutes. TBH, I'm already obsessed with your hair evolution!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I am of Scottish ancestry, and my normal, natural hair makes it look like I just crawled out of the bog. Wavy. Victim to humidity. Frizzled. Extremely thick. It normally takes me a solid hour and a half to dry and style. I used this product for the first time today and was absolutely shocked. My hair is now so, so soft and manageable. The biggest surprise was how FAST it was to dry and style! It only took me 15 minutes today! This may be the best thing I’ve ever bought on Amazon!" —Hildegard S. Payne

"As someone who frequently colors and bleaches my hair, I’ve tried various repair treatments, including Olaplex, K18, and Boldplex. While all of them have improved my hair's quality, this protein treatment stands out as my favorite. The results are impressive—my hair feels repaired, with improved texture and shine, especially after chemical treatments. If you’re looking for an affordable alternative for high-end brands like Olaplex or K18, this is definitely worth trying." —One Woman Says

Get it from Amazon for $7.60.

18. A suuuper cute hamster-shaped wireless mouse to add a little whimsy to your WFH station. It's designed to help reduce stress on your hand from excessive use of a laptop mouse.

Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing. I have dark circles above my eye/eyelid and under my eyebrows. I applied a very small amount, and no dark spots at all. It glides on easily and doesn’t look like makeup. It’s very natural. I’m honestly shocked it actually works, especially for $6." —wendy asmann

Promising review: "As a light, muted, neutral with a touch of warm olive, it’s hard to find shade matches. The N2 is my skin, but better. Zero smell, glides on, looks high-end, and does not flare my rosacea. I’m shocked. This has replaced all my foundations." —Laura Seymour

I love that it is so lightweight. It has a zipper on the main compartment, so nothing falls out. The outer pocket also has a zipper and spans the width of the bag. It's great for my phone, earbuds, pens, etc. Inside, there is another zipper compartment, as well as a padded laptop sleeve. There are also two slip pockets inside, which are great for glasses, tissues, cords, etc. The laptop compartment easily holds my 13" laptop and tablet. I can put my small purse and other pouches in the main section of the inner compartment, and there are two water bottle pockets on the outside. It also has a trolley sleeve for use on a suitcase.

I have tried a lot of colors and products, but the rich, soft color of this one beats them all. Easily glides on, covers my gray brow hairs, and helps my eyebrows frame my face.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

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: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett
