29 Things I Found On TikTok That Are Actually Really Cool

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-06-18 05:02

1. A pack of twistable crayons that people have described as a crayon-oil pastel hybrid. They glide like silk and help you create decadent, vibrant masterpieces. But the real selling point? The adorable bear-shaped caps! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

See how the crayons work in this TikTok.

Promising review: "I LOVE THESE! Smooth, blendable, and soooo many color options! You do have to wait a little bit for it to dry so it doesn't smear/smudge. It can also get a little messy, but that's the fun of creating! The twistable skinny pen shape makes it really easy to take care of your markers for fast cleanup. Twisting also makes it easy to use! Great design, beautiful colors, tons of options for making art!" —Shelby-Lynne

Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $17.99.

2. A guest check sticker you can customize by writing your favorite meal in permanent marker. If your tastes ever change, you can erase the marker with rubbing alcohol and start over. Time to tell the world how much you love butter chicken with a mango lassi!

3. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder, a low-maintenance option for makeup minimalists who want a matte, yet still radiant, complexion — essentially Photoshop's blurring tool, but IRL. It absorbs oil and blurs pores, leaving your face super glowy for just $25, which is way less than an Adobe subscription. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. 

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 

Get it from Amazon for $25

4. A billiards table...for CATS! Let your little pool shark knock felt balls into the pockets, bat with the feather-tipped pool cues, and scratch the baize. This sort of behavior would normally get one kicked out of the pool hall, but luckily, your cat has pretty privilege. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It comes with two feather teaser sticks and six colorful felt balls. See the pool table in action on TikTok here.

Promising review: "My cats love the table!! We love that the legs have a scratching feature and my one cat loves to throw the balls everywhere and into the holes while my other cat loves to use it as a bed. I work from home and my cat used to sleep on my laptop and keyboard, which was quite inconvenient, so this table has been a lifesaver! It keeps them both entertained for hours. The only thing to note is that the ball on the pool stick is hard, so it’s important to be careful when playing with them." —Amanda Sellini

Get it from Amazon for $72.99

5. Avon Skin So Soft bath oil, which, yes, moisturizes skin with jojoba oil after a shower, but also has a secret second use: One TikToker explained she uses it to avoid bug bites, and the comments confirm it's A Thing! Possibly the move if you're not planning on wearing actual bug spray, but still wanna have some protection from mosquitoes. 

www.amazon.com

Check out the full explainer on TikTok. Heads up: As far as bug sprays go, the CDC only recommends formulas with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, PMD, and 2-undecanone, so I don't recommend using this in super buggy areas. That said, based on the reviews, you should probably be covered for casual picnics and backyard hangs. 

Promising review: "We live in an area heavily populated by mosquitoes, and this keeps them from biting better than actual bug spray. I purchased several cans of Off spray bug repellent for myself and my husband this summer, and bought this to use for my young kiddos because I figured it would be safer. My mom used this on me in the '90s and I remember it working like a charm. After a few hours spent outside on the fourth of July, I had 32 mosquito bites on my legs. I sprayed myself with Off four times throughout those hours because I kept feeling them bite me. My kids were unscathed. I believe my oldest walked away with only one bite on his back, which would've been under his shirt, where I did not spray. A week later, my husband and I spent some time outside in the evening on our hammock. He used Off, and I used this. He had several bites while I had one or two new ones. I think that says it all. Yes, the scent hasn't changed, and it still smells like the '90s; it also still has an oily feel to it. But it's worth it!" —loveadict44

Get it from Amazon for $22.

6. An intriguing foaming drain cleaner for anyone who misses playing with shaving cream as a kid. Just press the can onto your drain, and the deodorizing foam will force dirt and clogs out of your pipes. Leave your gross dessert-like concoction for about an hour and then rinse it away. Who knew cleaning sinks, bathtubs, and floor drains could be...fun?

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (also available in a two-pack).

7. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil if you're sick of lippies that leave your pout feeling sticky, dry, or messy. The apple seed and raspberry extract-infused oil offers long-lasting hydration and a touch of color without you having to stress about it transferring or smudging.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. See the formula in action on TikTok

Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually, I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger; it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in 12 shades, a jumbo size, and multipacks).

8. A viral "Soft" perfume rollerball for anyone who wants people to think of them and think "yum." Reviewers compare this ~$5 fragrance to caramel, lemon cupcakes, warm vanilla scones, cotton candy, and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar!  

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first, but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." —Chrissy

"I was apprehensive when I bought this. I typically don't love perfumes with lemon because they remind me of cleaning products. This was definitely not like the others. Every time I wear it, at least one person will ask who made the cookies. It's a nice, light, lemon pound cake type scent. I'm buying again for sure!" —Melissa Fitzgerald

Get it from Amazon for $4.50.

9. An airtight Deli ProKeeper people on FridgeTok (yes, real thing) are raving about. It offers a sleek-looking place for your cold cuts and cheese, keeping it fresh for longer so you can actually eat all of it. If you've ever lamented seeing condensation-soaked ham in your deli drawer, this one is for you. 

www.amazon.com

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 $18.04 (also available in another style).

10. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil, a viral sensation proving that seeing is believing: Reviewers say they could actually watch the gunk leaving their skin. It dissolves makeup, attacks blackheads, and works to remove excess sebum without stripping away natural oils or drying out your skin.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The heartleaf extract soothes sensitive and acne-prone skin. The brand recommends you follow this up with a foaming cleanser!

Promising review: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for two to three minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" —Myshel Cagle

Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

11. A reusable plug-in fly trap with a built-in light that'll work like a siren song, luring hapless flying insects to their demise. It calls out to fruit flies and gnats up to 400 feet away so you can finally reclaim your home WITHOUT having to look at a gross fly trap roll. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. 

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. 

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.97 (also available in other pack sizes).

12. An ultra-fine continuous water mister when you just wanna spritz your hair or face, not completely drench it. It's also great for giving your houseplants a little pick-me-up! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Another amazing product TikTok made me buy. Was looking for something for when I wet my hair in the mornings. My old typical spray bottles kept breaking or leaking. This one has a longer spray time and the mist is perfect when I don’t want to get my hair too wet. All in all, worth it especially for the price." —M. Zuniga 

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four sizes and three colors). 

13. A leakproof, portable dog water bottle with a mini dish so your pup can stay hydrated on long walks or car rides. This is way more efficient than those collapsible dishes (speaking from experience). 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw this on a TikTok video and checked on Amazon and ordered it. My toy poodle loves it and drank out of it with no hesitation. With the heat wave we are having in California right now I want to be sure she is well hydrated. Before I leave the house I fill the holder with ice and water, and I am set. Easy to clean and no spilled water in the car. Easy to throw in my purse and have it when we are out walking around. I know what people with dogs are getting for Christmas this year." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $13.29+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 

14. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-beauty favorite that promises intense hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees. With the help of a blend of oils (Moroccan argan, olive, jojoba, coconut, etc), it can help repair damaged hair and reduce frizz, even in hot, humid weather. It's so effective, reviewers compare it to the $46 Gisou version

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising reviews: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn’t leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower when my hair is still damp I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on and then after I blow dry I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara Klein

"I love this product! I bought it after seeing it on TikTok. It makes your hair extra soft after using it. Definitely would recommend the purchase." —Lena

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas).

15. The iconic, much-loved Balmuda toaster that is known for cooking the perfect piece of toast. This spendy Japanese gadget uses steam, which crisps the outside while keeping moisture locked inside. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out the TikTok here.

Promising review: "Holy moly! Best toast I have ever made. I did a comparison taste test with the Balmuda toaster versus my cheapie $60 toaster oven. You can really taste the difference in the toast with the texture and the moisture of the inside of the toast. Hands down, Balmuda blew my other toaster out the water. So happy with purchase." —JL

Get it from Amazon for $254.14 (available in four colors).

16. A tube of Grip Clean, a TikTok- and Shark Tank-famous product that'll cut through grease, oil, ink, odors, and more — without relying on harsh artificial ingredients. It's made with ingredients like coconut and olive oils, so even those with sensitive skin and suffering from dry, cracked, or irritated hands can use it regularly.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "An apprentice brought in what he called 'TikTok Soap.' We all laughed at him thinking this was some gimmick but have all been pleasantly surprised. I know there have been around six big bottles bought and multiple little bottles just on my shift. This soap should be in every shop bathroom and every sink." —Michael

Get it from Amazon for $12.49.

17. A shower lamp I've seen make many an appearance in various TikToker's bathrooms. The wireless, water-resistant gadget adds a little sultry ambiance to your shower. It may even conjure up some truly inspired shower thoughts. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. Keep this somewhere out of the direct stream of water where it can't be knocked into your bath. Hear one TikToker's thoughts on the shower lamp.

Promising review: "I bought this kind of as a joke for our shower, but it's the best thing I've purchased so far in 2025! It's easy to use, love the dimmer, and it creates a nice ambiance." —Holla

Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in five colors).

18. A set of dermaplaning razors that will make quick work of fuzz, stray hairs, and eyebrows in need of a touch-up. They're designed with micro-guards, which means you don't have to worry about nicking yourself, even if you don't have the steadiest hand. Now, you can extend the time between threading appointments — or skip them altogether. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!

Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and was skeptical, but they work so well. I use them for any facial peach fuzz and to shape my eyebrows, and they're perfect." —Megan Kopicko

Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.49.

19. A game secretly disguised as a painting! Open it up to reveal a beautiful card game. You play as a painter competing in an art competition — collect art cards and layer three to create a unique painting. 

www.amazon.com

Check out the TikTok here.

Promising review: "This is a terrific and unique entry-level game that can; however, be enjoyed by a wide variety of gamers. The rules are simple, but the decisions can drive you crazy. Perfect. My wife of 47 years, a wonderful sketch artist in her own right, has begun to find gaming difficult due to Lyme and fibromyalgia. I bought this game based on its theme and what I learned of its gameplay through several videos. I thought if anything might bring her back to the table, this might. I was right. And, again, it's all because the gameplay is simple; the scoring is simple — but the game does challenge with the occasional frustrating demands for choice. Do I lose this to gain this? What will give me the most bang for my buck, aka the most points in the long run? All-in-all, we're enjoying Canvas." —Richard S. Parker

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

20. Olay Super Serum Body Wash — the body wash version of their viral, super effective facial Super Serum. It's packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides to make your skin feel next-level nourished. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the Olay Super Serum body washin action. 

Promising review: "I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" —Darina 

Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in three styles). 

21. A non-aerosol dry shampoo with a little pouf you can pat on your scalp to release a grease-absorbing powder with root-boosting black ginseng and biotin. Now you can go an extra day between washes and try not to remember those days you suffered from greasy, weighed-down hair. Brunettes rejoice: The powder comes in a bunch of shades. 

Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action. 

Promising review: "I have been an avid user of dry shampoo for over a decade…I have very fine hair that gets oily the day after I wash it, so it has just been a part of my daily routine. After trying this product last fall, I have sworn off all other dry shampoos. I love that it’s not an aerosol container, I love that it isn’t heavily scented, and I love that I use it once and I can go three or four days without washing my hair again. Try this product; you will not regret it." —Erica McGregor

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six colors).

22. A clever 2-in-1 knife and cutting board for when you want to quickly cut like, one thing. The scissor-like device offers a built-in surface for your food to rest on, so you can slice things directly over a bowl and *without* having to wash a cutting board. Slice scallions over your salad, snip up some steak for your sandwich, or just cut a single lemon for squeezing.

23. AnSPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar that works like a giant lip balm for your face. It's non-sticky, glides on clear, works nicely as a primer, and is so easy to apply (check out the curved shape), you may actually remember to reapply for once.

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. 

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Get it from Amazon for $17.02 (also available in a two-pack). 

24. All-in-one decor paint for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition-worthy transformation.

Country Chic Paint is a family-owned small business that specializes in all-in-one paint. 

Promising review: "I've bought a total of four of these things. I went on a kick of painting all of my generic black/dark brown Ikea furniture. I used this on both the shiny/smooth furniture and the wood furniture, and it worked well on both of them. It definitely worked better on the wood furniture, though. The paint was unexpectedly very easy to use, and the color came out a LOT prettier than expected! It was easy to clean off my hands and brushes, and the paint came right off my clothes in the wash as well. Overall, I'm very very pleased with this paint and will purchase more if I need any crafty paint in the future." —Anna

"I saw this on TikTok and it looked so easy. I've hated my TV stand since I bought it. It was all black and just brought the room down. I used two coats and it is perfect! 10 outta 10 recommend!" —Gig94Em

Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 55 colors). 

25. A Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes. The lightweight, color-adapting formula blends so seamlessly under makeup that your old concealer will throw itself out. 

www.amazon.com

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." —Monica T. 

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

26. A set of durable matte hair clips that are extra grabby, making them great for most hair types. Reviewers say they can comfortably wear these babes all day long. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

27. Burn After Writing — a guided journal with questions and thought experiments that encourage readers to reflect, explore their feelings, and get to know themselves a little deeper.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable for different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." —Brent Helm

Promising review: "I researched so many before I decided on this one. It works so perfectly, and is really easy to put together. I had it upright within minutes.
