Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "Best dryer sheets ever! I’ve been ordering these forever, and they are the perfect balance of clean fragrance and keeping the static out. It’s worth the cost as they are thick and offer excellent longevity." —Mariah

amazon.com

Promising review: "I now feel safe in the event my electricity goes off. This magical little tool can be charged by the sun, the wall outlet, or the crank. The flashlight beam is bright, with the button easy to operate. The radio is clear even without the provided aerial. The backpack size is my favorite feature. Now I can easily take the radio with me on bike rides." —Ellen Leathers

Promising review: "Worked perfectly for a Fujifilm Instax Hello Kitty instant film camera (shaped like a Hello Kitty camera) that I bought for my daughter. The film worked great. Pictures came out clearly on it. Great color quality! Easy to use and of course fun for those with the cameras to use." —olivia alcaraz

Price: $29.85 for 20 sheets

Promising review: "I went so long without buying an organizer for my records, and I’m so glad I landed on this one! Such good quality, easy to assemble, and the notches really help keep my vinyls in place. No complaints!! Just don’t use the screwdriver that’s provided, lol." —Keara Jiron

5. A four-pack of reusable microfiber cloths to help you ~erase your face~ at the end of the day. Consider them an affordable alternative to the cult favorite Makeup Eraser.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm not kidding when I say that this is the best makeup remover I've ever owned. As you can see from the picture [editor's note: see image above], I wear quite a lot of makeup. I use primer, medium coverage foundation, high coverage concealer, powder, the works, and setting spray. I've used these for a few years now, and I have no regrets. I would say they last about 5-6 months (with washing) before they become worn out. When they do, I like using them to clean my eye shadow brushes in between applications." —Zoey

Price: $18.99 (available in two schemes)

6. A tornado treat puzzle, a great starter treat puzzle for doggy (or kitty) that'll turn their meal time into a fun adventure.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This is my dog’s new favorite toy. He’s a 4-year-old Portuguese Water Dog with lots of energy and he begs to use this puzzle toy for all his meals now. When I add all the bones, it keeps him occupied for about 10 minutes or more and he seems a bit tired afterwards. We’ve had it a couple of weeks and he can get pretty rough with it but the toy has held up well and is easy to clean as all the parts can be separated easily. No dents or bending so far. We love it!" —Srp

Price: $14.33

7. A pair of slide sandals for a slip-on-and-go type of look that's perfect for all of your seasonal festivities. They also have a built-in arch support system for added comfort throughout the day.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are awesome! They look EXACTLY like Birkenstocks, but MUCH cheaper. They are stiff at first, but they will eventually mold to your foot and provide great arch support. They also come in many colors! I would definitely recommend! 🩷" —Lovebeingamomma

Price: $22.99+ (available in sizes 6–14 and 11 colors)

8. Pura D'or Anti-thinning Shampoo made with biotin and herbal ingredients like pumpkin seed, black cumin seed oil, nettle, and more if your hair has begun to thin, and you'd like to try to reverse the effects and add volume back into your hair.

amazon.com

Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical about all of the claims with this product and gave myself a few months before I wrote a review. This product delivers. My hair loss has diminished tremendously. Probably about a fraction of hair loss compared to a few months ago and my hair is full and shiny. Very happy with the product. At first it seemed pricey but the product goes a long way. I highly recommend giving this shampoo a try. Very worthwhile investment." —jdg

Price: $29.99+ (available in two sizes)

9. A Secret deodorant appropriately dubbed ~outlast~ as it's meant to withstand sweat and odor to keep your pits fresh all day long.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Dreading the heat?? No more! This deodorant works wonders! It keeps me from sweating AND from smelling! I’ve tried Lume, and so many other brands, and I’m so thankful I came across this and took a chance! It’s possible to not sweat AND not smell at the same time! THANK YOU!!! 🙏" —Angee

Price: $11.97 for a two-pack

10. A shirt-folding board that'll be an extra pair of hands since there's no one around to help you fold your clothes. This folding board will spark so much joy in your closet and drawers. Marie Kondo would be so proud.

amazon.com

Price: $16.99+ (available in five colors)

11. A universal travel adapter because one of the most stressful things about international travel is figuring out which outlet works in which country and how you're going to charge your phone. This travel adapter covers 150 countries, so you're sure to have the right one. 

Britt Ross / BuzzFeed

There are also two USB ports! 

Promising review: "While the listing says this adapter can't be used in South Africa, India, Switzerland, and Italy, I just used this on my Italian vacation (in five different hotels!) and had zero issues — in fact, it was a complete godsend. Maybe they've updated the design, as I've seen some other reviewers who visited these countries say it worked for them, too. I'm not a tech-guru by any means, but I was able to get it working the very first time I tried it, and luckily for my husband, who did not think to bring an adapter, we were able to charge both his phone and mine every night using the USB ports. Just know that it's primarily meant for charging small devices and not for powering up things like hair dryers and straighteners. I got it in black and it's super sleek looking, too!" —former BuzzFeeder Britt Ross

Price: $12.99+ (available in four styles)

12. A pair of no-leak swim goggles with impact resistance, anti-fog coating and UV protection. These goggles have garnered more than 10,000 5-star reviews, raving about their quality and comfort. And they're good for the entire family. Pool time, here we come!

Amazon

These leakproof goggles are a bestseller on Amazon with over 44,000 5-star ratings. They're designed with mirrored lenses for more comfortable swimming on bright, sunny days, since the mirror helps reflect light away from your eyes. They also feature lenses with UV protection and a quick-release, adjustable strap. They're made to fit adults and youth. They also come with a storage case.

Promising review: "I am a master swimmer and grew up swimming competitively. These goggles have been my 'go to' brand for a few years now. I like their styling, fit, and comfort, and you can’t beat the price. They are goggles that I can trust to take on vacation and be assured that the headband or nosepiece won’t break or fall apart and whose seals will stay attached to the plastic part of the google. I use them in the lake and in the pool. Highly recommend." —kb

Price: $6.99 (available in 30 styles)

13. A shiny tube of Rimmel Stay Glossy lip gloss designed to give you six hours worth of pout perfection. You can ear it solo or mix it with another one of your fave lipsticks and liners for a unique combo. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The reviewer on the right above is wearing the clear gloss, Seduce Me, on their lips *and* their eyelids!

Promising review: "Most lasting lip color is very drying, and I have dry skin and lips that are constantly chapped and dry, so I stay away from several of my lip colors during the winter — but Rimmel is very moisturizing. Another plus is that this is a gloss that stays on for six hours. Usually, only mattes really stay on that long, but this does. While I'm starting to buy bolder colors, I love to layer colors creating my own unique blends, and Cake for Breakfast looks great over a plum lip. It brightens it up and creates a beautiful color you can't get with one lip color. And it's affordable enough I can play with blending many different shades to come up with new looks all the time." —CynthiaB

Price: $4.99 (available in 25 shades and two-packs)

14. Uniball Signo Broad Point gel pens for the handwriting peeps who can never pass up a smooth-writing pen. These pens glide like butter, and reviewers, who love all things penmanship, love them.  They'll really POP on black paper. 

Tasia Bass / Buzzfeed, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love, love, love these pens! They create a nice, solid line on everything from fabric to sticks to paper...I am an artist, and these are in my 'must-have' materials list. They do smear a bit until they dry on some surfaces, but the line you get with them is worth the bit of dry time. Highly recommend!" —Laura

Price: $11

15. A high-quality low-cost deep pocket sheet set in case you're tired of picking your sheets up off the floor in the morning. These sheets can handle 14-inch mattresses with ease. The set comes with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases. They also come in 30 colors and patterns, so you're sure to find one that'll match your comforter.

Amazon

Over 313,000 people have given this Amazon Basics sheet set the 5-star stamp of approval, and it's not hard to see why, with a price point this low. The set, made of breathable polyester microfiber, comes with a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases. They're wrinkle- and shrink-resistant, and come in so many colors and patterns. You can grab a set in sizes twin–king.

Promising review: "Man these are quality sheets at a fraction of the price! I don't see how anybody can sit there and buy name brand sheets and then say that these suck. I don't know most every brand of betting sheets in the world, and these are among the most comfortable I've ever felt. They go great in our guest room, and my mother-in-law, who has very expensive taste, couldn't stop complimenting them! I was just happy to see slept comfortably in our home after not seeing her for almost five years, and like I said, she couldn't believe that they weren't some expensive name brand." —Smallz615

Price: $11.60+ (available in five sizes and 30 colors and patterns)

16. A cold brew maker that can deliver a cup of coffee that's 70% less acidic than traditional coffee or iced coffee. The coffee maker is stainless steel, dishwasher-safe, and features an airtight seal that'll allow you to store the coffee for up to two weeks in the fridge. If coffee isn't your jam, you can use this carafe for iced tea, too.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have been getting my cold brew fix from those pasteurized pre-packaged products. They were okay, but the cost kept going up to the point that the cost-to-taste balance was becoming unfavorable. I decided to give this cold brew maker a shot because I liked the Erlenmeyer flask shape and the simple operation: 85g coffee in the strainer, water to the top of the flask, and overnight in the frig. I was blown away that the coffee flavor was more robust than I had ever had before. Even pre-ground Folgers tasted great. I’m not going back to that expensive swill." —Lance Johnson

Price: $39.99+ (available in two sizes)

17. A "Beverage Buddee" can cover featuring an easy-to-sip spout, that's a great option if you can never finish a full soda in one sitting and hate when it ~fizzes out.~ These covers create an airtight seal so your soda will still be poppin' when you come back to it.

Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok. They're very useful as I tend to waste a lot of [soda]. It's easy to drink from and doesn’t spill." —MsLZ

"Where have these little things been all my life?! I got the original four-pack, but since trying one, I don't think I can ever drink from a can straight ever again! I'll be carrying these in my purse from now on. They are WAY better than your brain could ever conjure up from a photo. Just buy them, don't even think about it! Five stars, two thumbs up, highly recommended!" —Lirpa

Price: $7 for a set of four

18. A big ol' 20-pack of PopCorners that'll give you a good stack of snacks to have on deck when those late night munchies sneak up on you. PopCorners are so light and fresh with each flavor being equally as tasty as the last. With this box, you don't have to choose a favorite. You can switch between flavors down to the last corner. (BTW, the jalapeño popper is fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥)

Amazon

Promising review: "These are my favorite chips at the moment, and I have been stuck on them since I found them one time at a dollar store. I have bought these twice and neither time have I been disappointed with the quality of the chips. I haven't gotten any defective bags, the flavor has been perfect, and the amount is correct. I'm really happy they are available on Amazon." —Elizebeth B

Price: $22.43

19. A pack of craft cocktail sachets, just add the right spirit, water, and ice, and your bevy is ready. The skinny cardamom paloma? You're so elegant. Who can resist a cocktail that blends the warmth of cardamom with the fresh citrus flavor of grapefruit? Yum. I think it's cocktail o' clock. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a tasty cocktail! I followed the recipe on the package — one sachet, 2 tablespoons of tequila, and 3 ounces of cold water. So easy and delicious. It has the tart, lime taste of a margarita and a very subtle kick. I would absolutely get more of this brand!" —heyshay07

"As I’m aging, my skin is changing and feels a little rougher. I saw these on TikTok and thought I’d give them a try, and was not disappointed. I use this when I get out of the shower to really help scrub away dead skin, and it does leave my face feeling smoother. It is a bit pricey, but I feel like it did last me a while." —Emily Bianca 

Price: $20 for 28 pads

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I can't believe just how pumped I am over these shoelaces! They make me wanna slip my shoes off and on just because I can! They make my shoes more comfortable than I could have ever imagined (due to the elasticity). I have them set up to just the right amount of tightness to where I can just slip my shoes on and off without having to adjust them at all (and they are plenty tight). Welcome to the 21st century!" —dm925

Promising review: "I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up, however it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of them pesky nose hairs...snag this product!!!" —Julie J.

Price: $16.99

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have bought this twice and am ordering my third bottle now. We live in Maryland, north of DC, and behind a wooded preserve with a high population of deer who are brazen in their approach to eating vegetation. This has saved my hydrangeas, sedum, and even my gorgeous gigantic mums bought from Costco, all of which had been devoured by the deer until I found this product. I put it on once a month. The smell is strong but not offensive." —KSwan

Promising review: "This looked like it might be pretty cheap, but so far we've used it five or six times this summer and it's great! The fountain can get pretty high and there's enough room for three or four kids to splash at the same time. It can get really slippery though, so water shoes are recommended." —Ms Helpful

Price: $24.99+ (available in four styles)

I had no bites, and I was out for about three hours. Bugs didn't bug me at all and it has no DEET. You would need to reapply if you're getting in and out of the water so just keep that in mind. Mosquitos LOVE me so if it works on me, then it should work on anyone." —Gina Central

I saw this and thought, why not? I haven't tried this yet. After one use, my drain was working perfectly. I use it once a month on each drain in my house. One less headache to deal with. Very much worth the five bucks or so it costs." —Laura Owens
