As a Senior Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed, I specialize in a broad range of topics, including beauty, cleaning, fashion, personal care, home, fitness, and my beloved “TikTok made me buy it.” My work has been featured across lifestyle and writing publications during my ten years in the digital media space, including Bustle, HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and The Washington Post.

1. Tree Hut Sunkissed Poppy Hand Soap infused with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to help hydrate and restore skin health so your hands can be super clean *and* super nourished.

I am so very in love with this dreamy, floral, slightly sweet soap that I refuse to stock my bathroom with anything else. It's so fresh and lovely without being overpowering and feels so nice on my skin. I have to wash my hands a lot because of NYC public transit and diaper changes, but my hands are never dry from using this. 

Get it from Amazon for $5.33. 

2. A 6-foot-long surge protector power strip with 12 outlets and six USB ports, because it did NOT come here to play!! Your work desk is begging you to buy this to consolidate all your chargers and electronics once and for all (and maybe even make room for new FUN ones, like this retro-style computer speakernobody asked for).

Promising review: "This product, my drill, and the flat sponge type cleaning pad were the only things that worked, transforming this very dirty tub into cleaner than clean. Very little muscle power necessary. A little goes a long way. It takes off the worst of things and leaves a kind of ceramic coat behind. It’s amazing." —Glinda

Promising review: "These things are SHARP! Lol. Nice, clean, easy cutting. Have zero problems cutting into anything. Watch those fingers! I haven't worked with such sharp knives in a while, and these will bite if you're not super careful. But I also like to sharpen knives after almost every use as well. Sheath is a must-use for safety. Very durable, handles well. I haven't experienced any rust, and they're comfortable to use. And the colors are a nice contrast to the bland everyday of regular knife sets." —Shawna

5. A big ole tub of Maldon Sea Salt flakesyou will simply want to sprinkle on top of ... everything?? There is truly no subtle flavor enhancer in the universe quite like the subtle salty tang of these flakes — they make savory dishes feel richer, they give sweet dishes an oh-so-satisfying balance, and they will make you feel like ROYALTY every time you take a bite out of anything you put them on. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

I am OBSESSED with Maldon Sea Salt flakes — I love to put them in olive oil for dipping bread, on top of any chocolate dessert, on any kind of potato or cheese dish. Every time I think to put it on something new, my brain does a little high-five with my mouth. 

Promising review: "This is elite salt. Fancy without being pretentious. The flakes are perfect for finishing, adding that satisfying little crunch and flavor pop to everything from steaks to chocolate chip cookies and buttered sourdough toast. Yes, toast. Trust me. The tub is massive and resealable, which keeps it fresh and easy to use. If you’re into flavor, this is the salt upgrade your pantry didn’t know it needed." —Alyn Reads

Promising review: "I recently purchased this memory foam body pillow, and it has completely transformed my sleep experience. From the very first night, I noticed a significant improvement in my comfort and overall sleep quality. The pillow’s memory foam material is incredibly supportive yet soft. It contours perfectly to my body, providing just the right amount of pressure relief to my neck, back, and hips. This has been especially helpful for me as a side sleeper, as it keeps my spine properly aligned throughout the night, reducing any stiffness or soreness in the morning. One of the standout features of this body pillow is its full-body length. It’s long enough to cradle my entire body, allowing me to comfortably hug it while resting. This provides excellent support whether I’m sleeping or just lounging in bed reading or watching TV. Overall, this memory foam body pillow is a fantastic investment for anyone seeking better sleep and added comfort." —sunny

My wife had doubts about how egregiously dirty and caked-on the gunk in our 15-year-old microwave was (she thought we'd need serious chemicals!), but with only one pass of using this, it got 80% of all the gunk built up. A second pass, a few days later, got most of the rest!" —Some Hyena

The size is perfect for my kitchen counter, and the wavy design not only looks cute but also helps keep dishes elevated so water can drain and air can flow underneath. The material feels thick and high quality, not flimsy at all. The design is honestly one of my favorite things about it. The wavy pattern looks so adorable, and the ivory color is beautiful, soft, and elegant. It matches my kitchen perfectly and makes my countertop look more organized and cozy.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I didn’t understand how this tool was going to work, but I saw a TikTok where someone used it as part of their everyday cleaning routine, and my curiosity got the best of me! And wow, oh wow, am I glad I did! The area has to be big enough to pull it back and forth, so it’s ideal for couches and beds, and other furniture. It is so easy to empty too, and oh so satisfying to see what you picked up with it! Now I want to try the handheld version for clothing!" —Kindle Customer

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Saved me from buying a new dishwasher! I have to admit that I was skeptical that this product was actually going to do anything. I’ve noticed my dishwasher wasn’t cleaning dishes very well lately, and I did everything I could to get it working properly again, but was ready to finally give up and buy a new dishwasher. I bought these tablets thinking they were designed to eliminate odors, but I was willing to give them a shot before buying a whole new dishwasher. I put one in the bottom of the dishwasher last night per the instructions and woke up to completely clean dishes for the first time in weeks. They look perfect. I don’t know why these tablets work, but they absolutely did, and I am a happy customer!" —B. Turner

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and I can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods).

Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in different sizes).

Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances

There are three reasons I love this toaster: One, I have a small NYC kitchen and very little appliance real estate. Two, I love love love giant slices of sourdough toast, and this is one of the only toasters long enough to fit an entire slice and toast it all at once. And three, it is VERY cute. I've toasted just about everything a person can toast in this gizmo, and she's done a great job every time. I can't believe how useful it is at this price point! 

BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lillyloves this too: "I didn't have enough space for a toaster before I discovered it from our BF Shopping stories! Before that I was turning on the oven for a single piece of breakfast toast, which I think we can all agree was a bit silly." 

Promising review: "The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estateon my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don’t burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" —Joyce Hill

Get it from Amazon for$19.99 (available in five styles and two other sizes). 

24. A mold and mildew removal gel — leave this on the offending spots in kitchens and bathrooms for six hours, and you can wipe it off like nothing nefarious ever grew there in the first place.

www.amazon.com

WE SUPPORT A BEAUTIFUL LIE!!

Promising review: "It’s a little hard to squeeze, but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn’t caulk or seal them properly, and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up, but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" —Brooklyn Nguyen

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

25. A bottle of Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that's working OVERTIME — not only does this vanish the evidence of pet-related stains and odors, but it leaves the area smelling so nice that you'll be like, "Um, is this my new signature perfume??"

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Angry Orange is a small business that specializes in home cleaning products. 

Promising review: "I love love love this product! This is a game changer for me! Since I've been using this, my friends and family have commented on not being able to smell dog urine in my house! I sprayed this in my son's bedroom and let it sit while I got my shampooer ready! It's been three weeks since I shampooed his room, and I haven't smelled urine even once!" —Jennette MIles

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four sizes).

26. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's $90 Santal 33 version, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it.

www.amazon.com

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

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). 

27. A bottle of wood polish to instantly make your scuffed-up doors, hardwood floors, and furniture look so spanking new that you'll wonder if it's not actually wood polish but a time machine. Why get new tables or fancy professional restoration when you've got a $9 secret weapon??

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. This stuff was like a Magic Eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris

Promising review: "Job well done! If you struggle with frequent drain clogs like I do, I highly recommend this product. It’s easy to use, effective, and a great value for the price. The hook design lets me reach deep into the drain and pull out a surprising amount of hair and debris." —Rose

Amazon

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 styles). 

30. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then I will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents and two sizes).  

31. A double-sided cutting board *and* defrosting board with enough capabilities to make your lil' brain spin. One side of the board is made with food-grade stainless steel for cutting meat while the other is made with wheat straw for cutting fruits and veggies, helping save cutting board space and preventing cross-contamination.

Amazon

Promising review: "This cutting board is perfect! One side is for meat, the other for fruits and vegetables. There is no need for two separate boards. It's very stylish, made of sturdy materials, and easy to clean. It's so pretty I just leave it on the counter, but it does have a handle for hanging." —Jowana Lamb 

Get it from Amazon for$16.19+ (available in two sizes). 

32. A set ofsilicone pinch-grip oven mitts perfect for getting your toasties out of the air fryer, waffles out of the toaster, lids off of pots, or quick, lightweight pans out of the oven. They can also perch very adorably on handles, so they're always at the ready!

Powerstone Pumiceis a small business that specializes in home cleaning products. 

Promising review: "I have never been so happy about a purchase before, and this did it! We went away for a week and came back home and saw stains in all of the toilet bowls. I researched, and it’s from hard water or something like that. I’m so glad I [tried this] because this saved me so much money and time on finding a solution that works miracles. I didn’t even need to scrub hard. Just rubbed it on the stains a couple of times, and I was done in less than five minutes for each bowl. I highly recommend this product!" —Selina B 

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in a pack of two and four).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and [that there's] no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had them for a few months now and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer

35. Hope's Perfect Sink Cleaner and Polish for anyone whose sink is so full of grime, scratches, and caked-on gunk that you're like ... you know what ... it's time to send in backup. Enter this TikTok-beloved elixir, which loosens up grime fast and easily to leave your sink ✨sparkling✨ — *and* protects it, so it doesn't get dirty again nearly as fast. Talk about a product that has your back!! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here.

Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok. I was skeptical, as not everything that blows up works as well as they say. But after trying so many different sink cleaners, I was ready to give this a try. I followed the directions exactly on the bottle, and the results were instant. I will not go back to any other cleaner for my sink." —lexidan

Promising review: "If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times, it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself, but it will change your life." —Rachel

38. A slim organizer tray for your cutlery to save you so much drawer space that you'll feel like you just opened an extra pocket in the universe. No more jamming the messy drawer shut and praying it stays that way, y'all!

www.amazon.com

I bought this like a decade later than I should have, and it is as miraculous as everyone says. I am a chaos demon with four different sets of cutlery mashed together that took up way too much room and were too disorganized, since they were different shapes. This streamlined them all in an instant and got me half my kitchen drawer back — and I'm in NYC, so every bit of room counts!! 

Here's what BuzzFeederElizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen — only one of which I can fully pull out — and buying this organizer for it has transformed it. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around." 

Promising review: "TikTok has done it again and made me spend money on unnecessary things. However, it was definitely worth it! I love the durability and space it saved me. Compared to larger and bulkier flatware organizers. Hands down, good purchase!" —Sierra

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three styles).

39. A set of legging organizing hangers for anyone who owns approximately [number redacted] pairs that are currently tangled in a dresser drawer like a giant athleisure nest. This will not only free up space, but give you easy access so you're not rooting through them for the One Pair That Makes Your Butt Look Good.

Each hanger holds 10 pairs of leggings. 

Promising review: "Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." —Larry Seymour

40. A portable mug warmer with three different temperature settings so you can take your sweet, sweeeeet time enjoying your morning cuppa without worrying about having to reheat it in the microwave or chugging lukewarm coffee. Bonus: it also operates as a candle warmer! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Love the look. Love the temperature settings, although I don't believe I will use the lower ones since the 170 seems to be just right for me. Very simple to operate. Perfect Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for my daughter-in-law." —rkd

Get it from Amazon for$19.98.

41. A cloud-shaped utility knife you *need* in your life if you're a person who gets a lot of packages — this will save you a whole lot of time and effort (and DESPAIR over your ruined nails) with quick, easy cuts. 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the cloud knife in action. 

Between my job on the shopping team at BuzzFeed and being a first-time mom, I have a LOT of packages to open, and very little time to do it while my creature "naps" (air quotes because naps clearly go against his baby religion). I am also very, VERY vain about my nails, so I refuse to open packages without some kind of blade. I ordered a pack of these a few years ago, and even though I have lost all but one of them (I am very disorganized, oops), it still performs as well as it did the day I bought it! It gives super clean cuts and gets packages open instantly, and automatically retracts when you're done, so you don't have to worry about putting it in a drawer. 

Promising review: "I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." —Amy Yasneski

42. A dimmable sad duck night-light because sometimes you just have to look at this emotionally deflated creature on your desk and be like, "Welp. At least I'm doing better than that little dude." 

Amazon

Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options, and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated

Here's what BuzzFeeder Rebecca O'Connellsays about it: "My husband got me this light as a gift, and I can confirm it's very cute. If you firmly tap or squeeze it, you can toggle between three brightness settings. It's not bright enough to read by, but it works quite nicely as a night-light or for mood lighting. The legs are wiggly, which is definitely a selling point for me."
