I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer extraordinaire, as well as a film & TV critic, which is why she loves scouring the interwebs to find the best pop culture knick-knacks to rep your fave fandom.

1. An Oral-B electric toothbrush that feels so good you'll probably want to pass that feeling on to a friend. They get rid of all that food lodged between your teeth that you know is there, but just can't seem to reach. 

Walmart

Promising review: "This toothbrush performs better than one that I paid four times as much for!! I am SO happy I tried this one! It’s powerful and reminds you to change from each quadrant of your mouth every 30 seconds!! My daughter is an RDH and can’t believe the price I got this for!!" —ann

Price: $49.97+ (originally $59.94+; available in four colors)

2. An easy-to-use ear-washing bottle for anyone who suffers from ear wax buildup, blockages, and impaction and wants to flush it out so they can better hear and finally learn all the lyrics to Doechii's new album.

Walmart

Price: $31.95 

3. A keloid reducer because you finally got the piercing you've been wanting for a while and the last thing you need is a keloid to steal the spotlight. Formulated with jojoba oil, grape-seed oil, and rose oil, this solution will help reduce the bumps and scars over time.

Walmart

This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply it 2–3 times daily as needed. Be sure to be patient, as the healing process takes time!

Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "This stuff is magical! IDK what it is, but this stuff truly works! I am sooo blessed, my friend tried it and recommended it. My daith piercing had a bump top and bottom, and healed within a week. Honestly, I thought I would have to take it out. I have had four piercings since, and I absolutely just love it. With the newer ones I just got, I had to purchase another bottle! I love this stuff, highly recommend!!" —Jennifer

Price: $9.99 

4. Arm & Hammer laundry sheets if you're ready to try a new detergent option. Reviewers agree, this detergent smells AMAZING and is way less messy than liquid and powder versions. Throw in one or two sheets (or half a sheet for small loads) into your washer and wait for your clothes to come out clean and fresh.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "I LOVE these!! They're easy to use, economical, convenient, cost effective, and they smell good! Best of all, they get the clothes clean! Highly recommend!" —FrugalLady

"They smell AMAZING!!! Does a good job in the washer. Clothes come out clean and smelling fresh! I normally use the whole sheet instead of breaking it in half." —Brandon

Price: $13.98 (available in three pack sizes)

5. A stainless-steel tongue scraper complete with a travel case to ensure you can get rid of all that nasty gunk on your tongue and freshen up that ripe breath wherever you go. Your friends and co-workers will thank you. And, it'll improve the taste of your favorite foods.

Walmart

Promising review: "I did not expect a tongue scraper to change my life… but here we are. The FIRST use? Disrespectful. I couldn't believe what was hiding back there. My mouth has never felt so clean. Morning breath? Cancelled. Coffee breath? Evicted." —Lexy

Price: $7.49 for two (originally $9.99)

6. A smart pill organizer, a splurge-worthy option for anyone whose routine includes taking a large amount of medication or anyone who has trouble remembering that they have medication to take (me, too 🙋🏽‍♀️). This automatically dispenses the right pills at the right time *and* you can set up to six alarms to remind you throughout the day. You can set this up on the app or directly on the dispenser. If your life has added a new wave of supplements, this will help you stay on track.

Walmart

Promising review: "Works exactly as advertised. Mother has Alzheimer's and was missing doses about half the time. Now she doesn't miss any. Loading information needs to be clearer, but machine is great so far." —Jonathan

Price: $129.99 (originally $149.88)

7. A 12-month budget planner to help you manage your finances. This planner comes with a calendar and so much more. Through money-focused sheets, this planner helps you track your expenses, savings, bills, and set financial goals. It also comes with 176 stickers to make budgeting fun!

Walmart

The planner includes a handy pen holder and an inner pocket for storing important receipts or documents.

Promising review: "Love this budget planner. I have to put myself on a budget, and this is helping. Only had it for a few days, and I'm learning how to save, and I'm so glad I bought this." —Ashley

Price: $18.99+ (originally $28.22; available in three colors)

8. A monochrome wireless portable label maker ready to keep organization at your fingertips. Whether you're at work or reorganizing the pantry at home, this mini label printer will go where you go and stay ready for action. It's inkless, too, so no worries about running out of ink.

Walmart

Just a heads up that this is single-color only and uses special sticky-backed rolls.

Promising review: "My tween daughter and I both love this! We haven’t run out of uses for it. She is a budding artist who also likes putting labels on everything in the fridge, and I use it for inventory for my small business. It came with paper and a charging cable. It was easy to set up and took less than five minutes to use from our iPhone. Would recommend to anyone for many uses." —Sayrae

Price: $29.88 (available in three colors)

9. NEW PR A mold and stain remover gel that'll help take care of the gross mold in your washing machine. We don't always think about cleaning our washing machine, but if you do and you find it looks like something you'd find in a science fiction film, then having this removing gel handy could very well be a lifesaver. You can also use it on your grout, dishwasher and refrigerator seals, toilet rim, and caulking. 

Walmart

Promising review: "This stuff works! And it is super easy to use. The BEST product I have ever used to eliminate mold and turn it back white again. Worth every penny. I took pics, but I'm not sure if it's clear how wonderful this works. Highly recommend!" —Patricia

"This was the only product that worked getting the mold stains off my washing machine. It was quick and easy. No scrubbing, just put it on, wait a few hours, and wipe off." —Amanda

Price: $15.95 (originally $19.95)

10. A power spin scrubber with an adjustable extension handle and a variety of heads that'll work hard to wipe the dirt out of every crevice in your home. It puts in the work with minimal strain on your back and neck.

Walmart

Promising review: "This turned out to be an amazing item. I have been using it to scrub old, greasy kitchen cabinets, bathroom walls, etc. I sprayed the walls with a foamer, then scrubbed them with the large round bristle brush. It saves so much time and energy, and it also really gets the grime off. I was a bit skeptical at first, thinking it might not be powerful enough, but it does a great job. The battery lasted about an hour, stop and go, while scrubbing bathroom walls. It charged up quickly enough, too. This was definitely a worthwhile buy." —skye63

Price: $51.73 (originally $57.48)

11. A Ninja Crispi — my personal kitchen helper that's helped me cook at home more and more. How can you not cook at home when this nifty and compact device makes it so easy? It has four settings that allow you to make small or family-sized meals. It comes with a handy booklet with recipes and guides on settings for your favorite meals (it even has one for frozen hash browns, my personal fave). And when you're done cooking, the glass cooking dish is also your storage container *with* a lid.

Walmart

Promising review: "I love this little machine. It replaces my big Ninja air fryer, and does so much more. It fries, but also cooks, keeping foods moist and juicy. I have cooked several things in it, and will continue to add more. Small, quiet, and fast; that's a great combination!" —Sherry

Price: $134 (originally $149; available in four colors)

12. A set of rainbow glass food storage jars that look just as delicious as the treats you'll place inside. The iridescent shine of the jar make store-bought Oreos look like a fresh batch of cookies you just picked up from the local cakery.

Walmart

The set comes with a large 3-liter, medium 2-liter, and small 1.5-liter jar. 

Promising review: "Love these! They are very stylish and look great on my countertop. A nice size; I put dog treats in mine." —Jeaneen

Price: $37.97 for three 

13. A ~Suntouchable~ lightweight face sunscreen with more than 1,400 5-star 🌟 reviews singing the praises of its protection while it provides the perfect prime base for your makeup application.

Walmart

Promising review: "I was nervous there would be a tint when I squeezed it out, but it goes on sheer! It makes my skin look SO good and my very sensitive skin has had zero reactions to this. It adds the perfect glow under foundation as well!" —Tori

Price: $15 (available in three shades)

14. A hydrating lip gloss from Nyx ready to give your pout enough shine power to blind oncoming traffic. Thanks to key ingredients like raspberry oil, cloudberry oil, and vegan squalane, your plumpalicious lips will have all the hydration without that icky sticky feeling.

www.instagram.com, Walmart

Promising review: "I have so many lip glosses in my collection, but this is THE ONE. It adds just enough color and great shine. Some lip balms will break my lips out, but not this one. Just get it, you won't be disappointed!" —ToyaE

Price: $6.98+ (available in 18 colors)

15. A tube of multi-use concealer just begging to give *up to 12 hours* of concealed coverage. It comes with a sponge-tip applicator that's super easy to use.

Walmart

Promising review: "I'm super fair skinned, so I bought this specifically to use as a contour application. I'm able to pinpoint my areas precisely with this applicator tip and am in love with the results." —Samantha

Price: $9.98+ (originally $10.99; available in 24 shades) 

16. A doctor recommended Squatty Potty to force your body into the posture that's best for pooping. Sitting in a natural position not only helps the process ~flow~ easier, but it helps the whole thing move quicker, too.

Walmart

Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic. 

Promising review: “My husband laughed at me about the Squatty Potty until he tried it and discovered it really does help going. Now, every time we see the commercial, we are reminded that this may look different, but this really helps to go. Definitely worth having and easy to store away on its side or against the toilet.” —lauralig

Price: $24.99

17. A fabric shaver for shaving all those fuzzies off of your duster, couch, and any other fabric that produces those tiny balls of chaos.

Walmart

Promising review: "Some of my work pants had gotten pills on just one side of them from a purse I ended up not liking, and this saved me from having to replace four pairs of pants. Definitely worth the money!" —Peyton

Price: $12.79 (originally $14.99)

18. A strong hold gel with a fragrant fruit scent on the days you feel like getting a little creative with your edges or want to rock that famous 2003 swoop you had senior year.

Walmart

BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they want to! Check out, "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna."

Promising review: "Granted I have been rinsing my edges every morning, so I don't get buildup, but this stuff holds them down ALL DAY with no flaking! I do have sensitive skin, so I'm praying no adverse effects, but all clear so far (week two of use). It dries so quick so I don't have to tie my edges down! I literally slick my edges in the car at the stoplight, and they are perfect all day. I jokingly said to my friends, now that I have this product, I can wear my current braids for another month lol. GREAT FIND! And thank you to the folks that left reviews and gave me the courage to try it. Edge controls are iffy to say the least!" —Chizoba

Price: $4.47 (available in various options and sizes)

19. A Revlon hot air brush to dry and add volume to your hair. On-the-goers will find this particularly useful as it can dry and style your hair at the same time, which makes getting ready that much faster.

Walmart

Watch how this TikToker uses the brush to style their hair in this video. 

Promising review: "I LOVE this Revlon volumizer hair dryer/hair brush styler. I will admit, when I first started to use this hair dryer, I thought to myself, 'This is being returned to the store' because it felt awkward to hold. After a few minutes of using it, I began to get comfortable with the styler. I also noticed my hair became extremely smooth and shiny. I have naturally coarse, curly ringlet red hair. My hair DOES NOT ever look smooth and shiny. I was sold on this purchase after five minutes of using the styler. I received four compliments on my hair from total strangers on the first day that I styled my hair with this product. I would suggest using some type of heat-protectant styling product whenever you use a hot appliance on your hair. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for smooth, shiny hair." —ALASKA99

Price: $43.99+ (available in three colors)

20. An anti-nausea wristband that uses acupressure to help keep motion sickness at bay. So when things get to rocking, hopefully you won't have to go knocking on the bathroom door.

Walmart

Promising review: "I have vertigo. Vertigo makes you feel that you are falling over and terribly dizzy. It caused my sinus buildup or inner ear imbalance of fluid. These sea bands help to minimize or take away the dizziness while you wear them." —DJ

21. Amigraine relief cap to give relief for the person who gets headaches and migraines often. You can use it hot by placing it in the microwave or cold by placing it in the freezer. The compression cap can be worn two ways and is designed to relieve tension and stress, ~help with hangovers,~ and alleviate the pain from headaches and migraines.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "Highly recommend this for anyone who struggles with jaw/temple pain from TMJ. I never thought I'd find something that would ease some of the pain. I'm buying a second one so I can alternate them when one becomes warm. This has completely changed my life. I don't go anywhere without it now." —Courtney

"I was desperate during the peak of my Covid symptoms. With a headache that wouldn't stop and a fever, I wanted anything to help with the pain. Thankfully, this did it for me. The pressure from the mask, along with the cool gel, helped the throbbing feel bearable." —Nyx

Price:$29.97

22. A pack of individually wrapped lens cleaning wipes so you don't have to keep asking the person next to you, "What does that say?" Plus, they'll help to keep your camera lens clean so your photos don't have an unidentifiable object lurking in them.

Price: $12.98

25. A bread saver sure to ~save~ you money by keeping your bread fresh longer. No more squishy or stale bread when you want to start your day with avocado toast.

Walmart

Promising review: "Love it! works great! Just like the one my mom used to have 30 years ago! Open the bread, pull the bread bag down over the sides and put the lid on!

Walmart

Promising review: "We love this Dreo Hepa air purifier machine. It works wonderfully and is aesthetically pleasing. It is not too loud even on the highest speed. We have noticed a huge difference in our air quality. I was concerned it wouldn't work well due to its size. My older models were huge and bulky. This one is the perfect size. We purchased the white. Easy to clean and maintain." —Rita
