I'm Amanda Davis (she/her), a Shopping & Products Editor at BuzzFeed who specializes in many topics, including beauty, fashion, home decor, and my personal favorite — small businesses.

Whether you're looking for your new favorite beauty product, unique home decor, or something that'll solve one of the many problems of life, trust me — this post has it all. I mean, have you ever seen a cabbage-shaped salad bowl or known shoelaces that turn every shoe into a slip-on even existed? If the answer is no, check out those items and more great finds below!

1. A set of large ceramic cabbage bowls, because I think we can all agree that food tastes better when it's coming out of something this dang adorable. Whether you're serving a classic chicken Caesar during girls' night or having some leftover Cacio e Pepe on your lonesome, these microwave-, dishwasher-, AND freezer-safe (!!) dishes will make dining at home your only preference. Plus, the various sizes will make it 10 times easier to stack and stash in the cupboard! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Beautifully made serving set. It is a heavier ceramic with delicate detail, sized just as described, washes in the dishwasher well, and is an amazing value for the price. My grandmother had a similar set, and though hers was vintage WWII, I believe this is a similar representation without the antique price tag." —J Jones

Get a set of three from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors and sold individually).

2. A stunning Japanese-inspired Ikebana kit so you can turn any farmers market or grocery store bouquet into a literal work of art. This kit includes a gorgeous ceramic vase and a tool called the "flower frog," which has metal pins that help hold the flower stems upright. This arrangement method can help extend the life of your flowers, too.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Strikingly beautiful and easy gardening, floral, and greenery display! Very sharp, even after repeated use. Truly an attention-getter and catches even my eye at home every time I am near! Getting more now!" —Thomas K

"Easy and rewarding. So happy with my flower arrangement! I can’t believe how long it has lasted, too." —Shopiana

Get it from Amazon for $21.75+ (available in black or white).

Need some tips and inspo? Grab the book Ikebana: The Art of Arranging Flowers while you're at it!

3. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm — a lightweight, moisturizing, and hydrating lip balm that smells like heaven and does the work of an angel. This fantastic blend of ingredients *isn't* sticky like many other gloss/balm combos, and each shade leaves a different, subtle tint!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Laneige definitely lives up to the hype! Saw this on a morning show and decided to try it based on hosts' reactions. Mask for night and gloss during the day has changed my lips in one day. I regularly have dry, flaky lips, and that is now gone. I highly recommend... Will last for a while since lips are such a small area and don't need reapplication that often. This is an honest review by a 55-year-old working mom." —Aundy68

"LOVE this stuff. It's nice when TikTok and YouTube viral reviews are actually true. It seems this is the only thing I reach for anymore when I want to coat my lips... I really don't even use lipstick anymore, maybe a little liner, but not much. I'm a mature woman (57) and want to look more natural and age gracefully. This is so moisturizing and just a hint of color is perfect." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in 10 scents and multipacks).  

4. A custom-engraved necklace that's the perfect choice for anyone who's been wanting to add a personal touch to their daily stack. From your mom's handwriting to your kiddo's latest work of art — there's no way you won't smile every time you remember this keepsake around your neck.

Amanda Deer / Etsy

Amanda Deer Jewelry is a woman-owned small biz based in Austin, Texas.

Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with how beautiful this necklace turned out. I ordered it for my aunt after her husband recently passed away. They always called each other 'Shugs,' and she found a card where he had written 'love you' and signed it 'Shug'...It came out even more beautiful than I imagined... Such a special way for her to have a little piece of him with her. I cannot recommend this shop enough. ❤️"  —Ashley

Get it from Amanda Deer Jewelry on Etsy for $51.20+ (originally $64+; available in two shapes, two finishes, and three lengths).

5. A freakin' shower lamp — a splash-proof, cordless, and rechargeable lamp you can leave in your bathroom for the perfect ambiance during your AM showers (because who wants that big ugly light on that early in the morning), PM showers for the most relaxing wind down ever, and all of those long "everything" showers in between. Lamp: ON. Worries: GONE!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. DO NOT put this in the water with you (obviously!) or place it somewhere precarious where it can fall into the water or will get wet — but know that it'll be ok if splashed. Your nighttime shower mood lighting will be just as cozy with this on your bathroom counter or shelf. Safety first!

Hear one TikToker's thoughts on the shower lamp here.

Promising reviews: "I bought this for my bathroom because the one light is super bright and it's too much in the mornings. I still needed some light, so I looked into a lamp like this over some kind of night light or plug-in lamp. I bought this because the reviews were promising, and so far I'm really happy. I charged it when it arrived a week ago, and haven't needed to charge it again yet. I love the warm, but not yellow-y light it emits. The lamp also seems really sturdy, like if I knocked it off the counter, it would be fine. The dimming function is great, no flickering, and I'm really happy the lamp 'remembers' the brightness level it was last on. It says waterproof, and I haven't tested that, but the charging port plug seems to seal really well, so I'm not nervous to have it on the bathroom counter or right next to the shower. My one complaint is that the wood grain color appeared different on my computer than in real life, and it's a little more reddish in person. However, I like this lamp so much I've been moving it to my desk to use in the evenings, so I may just buy another one that matches my bathroom better and leave the wood colored one at my desk." —Syd Smith

"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 $29.99+ (available in five colors).

6. A frame-worthy cat scratcherthat I'm sure you wouldn't mind taking up space in your living room. Your furry BFF gets to sharpen their claws as often as they want, your furniture stays scratch-free, *and* you'll have cat-ified versions of art like the "Mona Lisa" and "Starry Night" on your walls, so really, there's no losing here.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I'm not kidding, some reviewers actually frame it to help the scratch mat blend into their home even more. It does come with tape on the back if you want to apply it directly to walls or furniture, though.

Promising review: "I’m really impressed with this cat scratcher mat. The size is perfect for protecting walls, couches, or carpet, and the sisal material feels durable and doesn’t shed like cheaper options. My cat took to it right away and prefers scratching this over the furniture.

"Installation was easy with the adhesive pads and twist pins—it feels secure and hasn’t budged even with daily use. I like that it can be used flat on the floor or mounted vertically, so it’s versatile depending on where you need protection. The design is also a nice touch—it doesn’t look out of place in the house, which is rare for cat products.

"Overall, this scratcher is sturdy, well-made, and effective. Definitely worth it if you want something that lasts and keeps your cat happy." —Family Share

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six styles).

7. A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter to ensure you never have to worry about running out of lighter fuel again *and* features a flexible head that can easily get to those low candle wicks without you almost burning your fingers. Isn't that the dream?

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S. 

"Another product I got from TikTok. It’s a necessity. No more struggling and almost burning yourself. Stays charged for days. A week at most if you use it frequently." —Nijada

Get it from Amazon for$15.29+ (available in nine colors and two packs). 

8. A set of hair-tie bracelets that look like normal arm candy, but are actually stretchy hair ties that you can wear on your wrist 24/7 without worrying about clashing with the day's outfit. Plus, you'll never not have a hair tie on hand, and that means *a lot* to a person always losing them!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the hair tiesin action. 

Promising review: "I love these! These add the cutest touch to any outfit. They make you feel better about wearing a hair tie on your wrist. And they function great as both a hair tie and a bracelet! Not too tight to wear as either. Love them!" —Tiara Scheurell 

Get a set of 20 from Amazon for$6.79 (available in 10 styles). 

9. A unique coffee mug because it combines everything you love about a to-go cup (the easy, spill-reducing sip hole) and the ridiculously cool aesthetic of a ceramic at-home mug. So if you're prone to accidents that leave your hot bevvies spilled on the kitchen counter — or worse, your computer — this may be the cute problem-solver you've been looking for. PLUS, it fits perfectly into standard car cupholders, too!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I really love this coffee mug! The hand-painted striped design is beautiful and gives it a unique, high-quality look. It's the perfect size for coffee, tea, or other hot drinks, and it feels sturdy and comfortable to hold. The colors and finish are exactly as pictured, and it has held up well with regular use. Overall, it's a great mug that looks great and works perfectly." —JKPrince

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors)

10. The leak-proof (!!!) Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle because you can have your cake and eat it too....or in this case, you can have your straw without worrying about water leaking all over the place. This genius hydration station has a metal straw inside, with a silicone straw on top that locks in place to prevent spills. *Bragging rights unlocked*

www.instagram.com, Brumate

I own the30-oz version of the Era Tumbler, and it is really the best water bottle I've ever owned. I *never* worry about spills or leaks (and I mean NEVER). It's comfortable to hold and carry around, and I love the stainless steel interior that keeps my water cold. I can throw it in my bag and know everything inside is safe from water, and that the ice I put inside it in the morning will still be there in the evening. Basically — yes, it's worth it!

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: 

"I have the Simple Modern one, too, and it's great for being at home and drinking water at the perfect temp. *But* if you're worried about leaking AT ALL (or prefer a metal + silicone combo straw to plastic), the Brumate Era is 100% wizardry, sorcery, and magic. It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours — I've had cold water stay COLD for ages in this bottle! The tapered base is also cupholder-friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist and throw it LITERALLY SIDEWAYS in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all! And...if you've seen some of those videos about hidden mold in certain lids...know that this disassembles incredibly easily, so you can just toss the pieces in the dishwasher."

Get the 40-ounce size from Amazon for $44.99 (available in two sizes and 30 colors) or straight from Brumate for $44.99(available in two sizes and 20 colors!). 

11. And an ice cube tray that makes cylindrical ice cubes so that your water stays cold muuuuch much longer. These ice cubes can fit in 30- and 40-ounce Brumates, Stanley's, Hydro Flasks — you name it. Bonus points for giving you room to move your straw around, too.

www.amazon.com

This tray is designed to make cubes that will fit in 30-oz. and 40-oz. tumblers.

Promising review: "I use these in my BruMate and Meoky cups, and they fit perfectly. I always struggle with getting my straw through the ice and in the middle so the lid will close. These ice cubes stay on the edge of the cup and allow plenty of room for the straw." —sarah schultz

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors).

12. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — the holy grail, miracle-working superstar that conceals and brightens dark circles like no other... just ask the entire internet or read one of the 9,000 5-star reviews. This *tinted* concealer features both hyaluronic acid and shea butter, two ingredients that not only cover those circles now but also work to help reduce them in general over time. Do you see why everyone is obsessed now?!

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Anyone with dark under-eye probs like myself needs to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca, but this one is better in my opinion!! It’s very pigmented and covers blue hues in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well, it's very creamy, and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months — a little dab goes a long way. It’s extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I’m a sucker for saving money and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" —Caitlin Newcomb

"I love this cream! It helps hide the bags under my 60-year-old eyes. I use it every day. I think the pink color neutralizes the purple. After applying it, I add my foundation. This cream makes a big difference. It doesn’t make them go away. But it really freshens my look and makes the bags WAY less noticeable. Love it!" —Anita L.

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

13. A luxe set of tie-front satin PJs that are — to put it simply — the most perfect pajamas I've ever seen!? The satin-like material is comfy and breathable. The easy breezy shorts have an elastic waistband for some added comfort, too. And trust me, I won't judge when you decide to wear the top as a part of your going-out outfit 👀.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BTW, these sets are so chic and affordable that a lot of friend groups get them to match for events like weddings, birthdays, and bachelorette parties!

Promising review: "It’s always a gamble getting pajamas online, especially when they’re supposed to be silky; sometimes you get that unyielding plastic-y feeling material. That’s not the case with these! They’re soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they’d be. I’m definitely going to order in more colors." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $28.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 26 colors and patterns).

14. The TikTok-famous Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask from viral K-Beauty brand Medicube, because is there anything more gnarly than "shedding" first thing in the morning!? This mask features ingredients like hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric that work together to even your skin tone, clear acne, and improve elasticity. Put it on before bed and peel off the old you in the morning!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I was really glad to see it on Amazon because I saw it on TikTok. I didn’t have to wait for it and pay less. Can’t go wrong with that. It is very moisturizing and easy to apply. Just a very thin layer. I went to bed, peeled it off the next morning, and my skin was super glowy. I love it." —Ramona L. Corona 

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in three other styles). 

15. A cold brew coffee maker so you'll never have to leave the house for a nice cup (or three) of iced coffee again. All you need to do is put grounds into the filter, add some water, and let it sit overnight. The next day, you'll have some yummy cold brew!

Maitland Quitmeyer/BuzzFeed

The pitcher is leak-proof and made from BPA-free titan, which is stain, cloud, and odor proof.

Promising review: "This little filter is great. It makes the perfect amount of cold brew for a week for me. I usually steep for anywhere between 12–24 hours, depending on how strong I want it to be. Grind your beans coarse and fill with filtered water, and toss it in the fridge, can't be any simpler. I used to always drop $3–$4 a day on iced coffee or the VSC cold brew from Starbucks, so I can't imagine how much money this has saved me." —Jacob S.

Get it from Amazon for $24.98 (available in two sizes and three colors).

16. A Gold Bond neck and chest firming cream designed specifically for the area that's too often overlooked in skincare — your décolletage. In this cream, salicylic acid, glycerin, and aloe work to exfoliate dead skin cells and hydrate your skin, leaving you with a plumper, more tightened, and firmer appearance. All that for under $12! 👏  

www.amazon.com

It's fragrance-free, and you can apply it morning and night. Some reviewers have seen results in as little as a week with consistent use!

Promising reviews: "It works! After losing weight and getting older (I’ll be 60 this year), the skin on my neck was starting to stretch and sag. [I didn't want] a double chin, and who can afford neck surgery? I was a little skeptical, but this smooths out the skin and makes it tighter. I don’t have as many stretchy parts on my neck now." —DT

"Wow! This product is the real deal. The first time I used it, I noticed a definite softening of the lines on my neck. I have been using it for about a week and it has made a noticeable difference. No, the wrinkles are not completely gone, but there is a real difference. I will also point out that I am almost 70, so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but this product has come pretty darn close. I recommend it." —rose b.

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack).

17. An affordable collagen-coating hair treatment because it's something reviewers refer to as "magic in a bottle." Say goodbye to frizz and grease after just 10 minutes (yep, 10!) with this in your hair!

www.amazon.com, Bek O'Connell / BuzzFeed

Reviewers with thin or fine hair LOVE this hair treatment, and various hair types from 3b to 4c say that it helped their damaged hair. Even folks with dyed or bleached hair say it's safe to use. TL;DR: It works!

Promising review: "This product has a light but really lovely scent. I absolutely love it! My almost waist-length hair was seriously damaged by my last hairstylist. I've tried everything to make my hair shinier and more manageable, with less frizz. I've been through countless deep conditioning treatments with little results...’til I found CER 100! I'm in my early fifties, so I have hair that is far from 'virgin.' If mine looks this great, that says a lot! My only wish? That it came in a bigger tube/bottle!" —C. Fordham

Get it from Amazon for $7.20.

Read our review of Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for."

18. The comfiest Levi's Cinch Baggy Jeans with an adjustable high waist that can be tightened to fit you juuust right — no expensive alterations needed. Those days of tight-in-the-thighs but loose-in-the-hips are over, and you won't ever be able to look back. These are the life-altering pair of jeans you need but didn't know existed, especially "for big butts and small waists," according to reviewers.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Looove these so much! I wore them almost every day on my recent trip to France. The jeans are a bit thinner, which makes them more comfortable and lightweight for summer. They were comfy enough for me to wear them on the flight... You can dress it up with heels or dress it down with sneakers. The buttons on the side let you cinch in the waistband if you need to, which is great for finding the right size... so far, the quality seems good. OH AND the pockets are HUGE! So good." —Marina 

Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in women's sizes 24–40 Plus and eight colors).

19. A small Chunks picture frame hair claw because who wouldn't want to walk around with a photo of their beloved cat for all to see? It's also pretty great for family portraits and photos of your spouse, but you know who you really wanna give that spot of honor to. This cutie is also made of plant-based bioplastic, so it's very strong and won't break after you accidentally drop it.

Chunks

Best for short to medium, fine hair.

Chunks is a Seattle-based small business founded by Tiffany Ju. The hair accessory brand was created in Ju's basement (!!) in 2019. 

Promising reviews: "Just as cute as I expected, it makes me so happy! The picture frame space is quite small, but I don't even mind. It's my new favorite accessory! I appreciated the personal touches too; it makes it feel like we're sharing art instead of just a product. Now I can carry my dearly departed orange boy around with me every day." —Jenny F.

"I got a standard as well as an oopsie version, and I love them both! I've got so many compliments on it, and it holds my thin, fine hair so well!" —Madison G.

Get it from Ban.do or straight from Chunks (available in three colors) for $26.

20. A Java Sock to comfortably carry your iced coffee without freezing your fingers off and to keep your bevvy cold for hours — at least, according to reviewers! If you love iced coffee (or any cold beverage, really), you know the struggle of having cold palms and water dripping on your clothes — this helpful invention solves that!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We have multiple Javasok products and love them all! I ordered this celestial snake pattern as a gift for my wife’s 30th birthday, and she was SO excited and happy with it! The pattern is an absolute dream. These are such great products and really do help keep your drinks insulated and cold for a long time. Great for iced beverages to keep your hands dry from condensation, too. They clean up well and last forever! Haven’t had any issues with any of their products ever falling apart. Very high quality and a great value! Treat yourself to one (or five 😉) - you won’t regret it!" —Kae

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five sizes and tons of styles).

21. A nongreasy pomade hair wax stick so you can easily achieve the ~slickest~ bun or ponytail that will actually stay the slickest bun or ponytail all day long. This stick won't just hold your hairstyle, but will also keep all your flyaways at bay, giving you a sleek, polished look every single time. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers with various hair types say that this stick works wonders — from straight and thin hair to thick hair, and various curl patterns such as 2b–3b and 4a–4b.

Promising reviews: "Very good for oily hair. This worked really well. I was afraid of it making my hair look oily, but it didn't. It put down all my baby hairs, too. I work during the day for eight hours, and there is only a small difference you can see from the beginning of my work day to the end. It is very strong because I am moving all day, too."  —Margo

"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair, which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I’m not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it’s a light coconut smell. Overall, satisfied, and you don’t need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." —Blanca Perez

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks) 

22. A set of convenient suctioning "Food Cubby" dividers for picky eaters who can't stand when their foods touch! This is an easy solution that both kids and adults can appreciate. Plus, the suction at the bottom ensures that the dividers won't move an inch.

Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the food cubby in action. 

Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. 

Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart, but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee 

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in green and clear).

23. A reviewer-favorite Alleyoop 4-in-1 makeup brush that features an eyeshadow brush, a blush brush, a brow brush, *and* a blending sponge! It's the perfect size to keep in your purse for touch-ups throughout the day and for saving space in your makeup bag.

Alleyoop

See it in action on TikTok here.

Alleyoop is a woman-owned small biz that takes "beauty efficiency" to a new level. Most of their products are compact and have several functions!

Promising review: "It's a staple for my work makeup routine...The angled brow brush is great for using with a brow pomade. The eyeshadow brush is surprisingly versatile! I can do an outer corner shade, middle shade, inner corner shade, and the lower lash shade as well. I used a clean makeup-removing cloth that is perfect for switching colors and also keeps my brushes soft and pliable... The sponge is great for blending out eye primer, but it’s advertised as being best used for blending concealer, and it nails it." —Ayndie

Get it from Amazon (available in two styles) or straight from Alleyoop for $25.

24. An exfoliating scrub mitt because it removes dead skin and leaves your body feeling the softest it's ever been. Some reviewers say it helps soothe skin conditions like eczema or keratosis pilaris, too. Use it in the shower to reveal super soft and super clean skin when you step out. Easy peasy! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "These really work! No chemicals, lotions, or gels needed - just water and SO MUCH dead skin came off. I was both grossed out and strangely satisfied by this… my skin has honestly NEVER felt this soft and I’m very happy with my purchase." —Brooke Parent

"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in three colors; also available as a two-pack).

25. A renter-friendly Poplight which requires no tools, wiring doodads, or electrical knowledge — simply *pop* it on your wall with adhesive tape and you're all set! This app-controlled lamp is dimmable, rechargeable, can be programmed to turn on/off at certain times, and even has a built-in level to make things as easy as possible. On top of it all, IT'S SO CUTE!! Self-proclaimed "chronic redecorators" love it, too.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

BTW, Poplight is a queer-owned small business and was recently featured on Shark Tank!

Promising review: "I’m absolutely thrilled with this new accent wall light for my family room corner! I can’t stop admiring it. It's such a step up from the other, frankly, cheap and ugly-looking options I've seen. This one is truly beautiful and, even better, it works great! I love the versatility of having three different color temperature settings and the dimming feature – and the fact that I can control it either directly on the device or through their convenient free app is fantastic. Plus, the never-replace LED bulb is a huge bonus, and the fact that it's easily movable is a major win for me as a renter. I can already see a few more places I’d like to put another poplight and be able to take with me to my next place!" —purplcow

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in seven colors).

26. A set of Stretchlace shoelaces that turns ~every~ shoe into a slip-on. With these stretchy elastic laces tied up, you can slip right into your kicks and head out the door without having to untie them from the last wear. Who has time to stop and tie (and re-tie) anyway? Hint: not you. 

www.amazon.com

Stretchlace is a US-based small business that specializes in elastic shoelaces. 

Promising review: "I saw these on Shark Tank, so decided to try a pair. They are AMAZING! These are in shoes that I wear for workout classes that involve plenty of stepping and cardio... my shoes do not slip or feel loose at all, but stay as snug as if they had traditional shoelaces. No more loose shoestrings, no more tying, and untying. What a great invention! Hey, you little kids with Velcro fasteners, move over! Grown-up laces are here!" —Leah

Get them from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in nine sizes, 15 colors, and in round laces). 

27. APikk-it toolto clear out any tangled hair that may have gotten caught in your vacuum while making your home to spick and span. If you don't remove the hair, it'll eventually mess with your vac's functionality and suction powers — and we cannot have that!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush.

Promising review: "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

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Both cat and dog owners love this bowl!

Promising reviews: "I ordered as a cat water dish, knowing cats don’t like bowl edges touching their whiskers. This is such a stable, wide, clean bowl that keeps water cold! She had a kidney problem, so I was trying to encourage her to drink. I also ordered a fancy cat fountain at the same time. She plays in the fountain but drinks from her bowl!" —Linda A. Bonness

"The Coldest Dog Bowl is a game-changer! Its stainless steel construction is not only sleek but also durable, ensuring longevity. The nonslip base and no-spill design make mealtimes a breeze, and the thoughtful insulation keeps water cooler for longer. I highly recommend it for pet owners seeking a stylish, functional, and pet-friendly bowl. I would buy another one in a heartbeat." —Jenni

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 $17.99+ (also available as a two-pack). 

30. Or some Black Girl Sunscreen, which is a sunscreen specifically designed for melanated skin (although it works for everyone!).

Promising reviews: "It’s GREAT! I use sunscreen on my face every single day. I live in FL, so it’s a necessity. Finally, a sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white cast, feels good on my skin, and it’s moisturizing. I will definitely be purchasing this again." —Katrina H.

"Finally! A sunscreen that’s made for people with an abundance of melanin! This doesn’t leave a white cast, and it doesn’t have much of a scent to it. It goes on effortlessly and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and protected. Do you understand how long it’s taken me to find an SPF for my skin?! I’m so thankful that it’s available at Target, and I hope they continue to stock the shelves with this product!" —Jay

Promising review: "I have trivets. Several of them. But when I need them, they’re never there! I have to dig through my drawer just to locate one. Then I see this. What an amazing concept! They look cute on my counter or table. They’re easy to use! Pull one off the 'tree' and set it on the counter/table. If it gets dirty, just wipe it down and put it back in the tree. Honestly, I love this tree and all its 'branches!'" —Cynthia Lancaster

Promising review: "I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok... and boy am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet.. and let’s be honest, the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) .. but oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use) ... two weeks later, BOOM baby soft feet...10/10 would recommend!! " —Alma Elias

35. A Tub Topper, which acts as a splash guard, toy tray, and all-around play zone when your kiddos are taking a bath. The suction cups attach to the lip of the tub to keep things nice and sturdy...and way less chaotic. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys, and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" —Brianna

Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors).

36. A beauty spatula so you can get every last bit of foundation left in the bottle! It can fit into the crevices that no amount of shaking or hitting the bottle will get. It's also reusable and easily washable, thanks to the silicone material.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I used this spatula to entirely use up a glass jar of foundation. I got four full-face applications out of the remainder that wouldn't come out before. It's flexible to reach the corners and long enough to reach the bottom. Since I won't need it for foundation for a while, I may use it to more hygienically scoop moisturizer out of a jar instead of using my hands." —J fox

Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

Promising review: "A curly girl's best friend... The quality of the material and stitching is excellent. They truly are a great value for the money when you consider all their benefits. They allow you to go to bed with wet hair while preventing your sheets and pillows from mildewing. Not only that, but the material is really super comfortable. The fabric is very soft and feels comparable to a plush luxury towel. It also doesn’t make any noise, unlike some other waterproof pillow covers I tried before finding DryZzz. All this means I get a great night’s sleep and wake up with well-defined curls, effortlessly. I recommend DryZzz to all my friends with curly or wavy hair, as well as folks who tend to drool in their sleep. " —Hopeful Dog Mom

Promising reviews: "They have a good feel to them and do not slide off my bed when I am sleeping. They are comfortable and seem to be made well. I will definitely buy them again." —Bio2050

"I’ve had these for about a month now, and they have been SO SOFT and they fit our 14” King mattress. They have also held up in the washer and no pile as of yet :) For the price, these are very worth it. Plan on purchasing many more. We used to buy both Casa Luna and Target Jersey sheets, but these have them beat by quality and price." —Makala

Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).

39. A "Magic Tap" automatic drink dispenser, a spillproof system that fits into water, milk, and juice mugs! Reviewers are calling it the ultimate parent hack because it essentially doesn't require you to stop what you're doing to help your kid get something from the fridge. That's probably hours of time saved if we're being honest!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the drink dispenser in action. 

Promising review: "Super happy with this purchase. Our two little ones (5- and 3-year-olds) can now easily fill their own drinks. We also purchased a dual cereal dispenser from Amazon, so now the kids can get their own breakfast cereal with milk!" —April M. Ramos

41. Topicals' brightening eye masks that have caffeine and kojic acid as the main ingredients to not only eliminate puffiness but *actually* help reduce dark circles, too! Who says you can't take your morning coffee in eye mask form?

Amazon, www.amazon.com

After trying these eye masks once, they are the *only* ones I use these days! I'd typically wear them for about 20 minutes, and they really do brighten up my under-eye area. So much so that when I had them on while getting ready for a wedding (I was the maid of honor), all of the other bridesmaids tossed their cheap gold eye masks and asked to try one of these. I especially love that these masks have an adhesive that *sticks*, so they stay in place, unlike a lot of other options. Trust me, these are elite!

Check out a TikToker gushing about the eye masks here!

Promising review: "I can't explain it, but these things work miracles. I keep my expectations low for this sort of thing, but I noticed a difference the first time I used these! I wore them while I brushed my teeth, flossed, and dispensed my morning supplements. I did a double-take when I took them off because my under-eye area looked firmer and slightly brighter already.I don't know what kind of witchcraft this is, but I'm a fan." —.Mueller

42. A space-creating Sink Topper if you're desperately in need of more counter space. This topper provides a sturdy temporary surface, works as a heat-resistant mat for hot hair tools, *and* as a makeup brush cleaning mat thanks to its textured surface. That's like getting three things for the price of one!

www.amazon.com

Sink Topper is a small business that specializes in household-friendly organizing mats. 

Promising reviews: "Worth every penny! I was about to buy a brand new vanity! This product saved me over $1,000 bucks!" —Barbara Mulvey

"Came across this on IG, and immediately went looking for one. It's very well designed in terms of stability, so as long as you obviously put your heavier items along the perimeter, it's super sturdy. I'm moving, and there is no sink space at the new place, so this is simply a godsend (especially with the hot flat iron issue and not wanting to burn the sink). The faucet gap is perfect, so if anyone needs to use the sink while you're getting ready, you don't have to move everything. It's just a really solid product, and I'm glad I came across it." —J Kit

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

43. A RobeCurls heatless hair curler to get bouncy curls without the heat damage. On top of being heat-free, the curler is made with satin that helps prevent tangled hair, too.

RobeCurls is a woman-founded small business that specializes in heatless hair curling tools. This rod is designed to work with all hair types. 

Promising review: "This is the second one I've bought, I used it so much I wore it out. I've tried various other heatless curlers and other brands, but this one, by far, gives the best results and is the comfiest to sleep in. I put a little curler cream on damp hair before putting in the curler before going to bed, and my very fine hair that can't keep a curl can keep a beautiful curl for 10+ hours. Photos attached are after taking out the curler, and my natural texture beforehand." —Amber phillips

44. A magnetic necklace detangling clasp so tangled jewelry can be a thing of the past (and so will the worry of ruining your favorite pieces along with it). With this cool magnetic clasp, your necklaces will lie *right* where you want them to... and stay that way!

Promising review: "This is my second one! Love it so much since it can keep my necklaces safe and untangled with its strong magnet. Safe me so much time layering all the necklaces I have. Literally takes one second to put on!" —Nichole Li

45. A portable paw cleaner because it'll get the (very important) job done and prevent dirty paws from walking around your house — without taking tons of time out of your day. With this, you can clean muddy or dusty paws quickly and easily using the gentle silicone bristles inside the cleaning cone. Brags will be bragged at the dog park.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this product. I ordered a medium at first, and it seemed to work fine for our two dogs (Australian shepherd mix and lab mix). The medium was a little small for the Lab, so I ordered the large. The large is easier to fit her paws into, but it's harder to use because it's much bigger (which was expected). They both work, and we absolutely love how clean it gets their paws. We were shocked to see how dirty the water was. This saves us so much time from wiping their paws with wet towels and then drying them. You do still have to dry their paws, but if they happen to slip away, you just have to deal with a wet floor and not a wet/muddy floor. I definitely recommend this product to everyone who has a dog." –Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $11.49+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).

46. A pack of Gameboy wall decals as easy as peel, stick, and stare in awe. It'll make a fridge or a bedroom doorway more fun as it doubles as a dry-erase board, too. If that won't motivate you to write down your grocery list, I don't know what will.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because I knew my boyfriend would laugh and appreciate the heck out of it...My boyfriend plays video games and has a fair share of Cowboy Bebop figurines, so when I saw it, I knew he'd get a kick out of it. 11/10 would buy it again just for another chance to see his reaction. And honestly, it looks great [and] transformed a boring white fridge we paid no mind to to a clever and cute conversation piece that ~also~ serves a function." —Olivia
