I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping writer since 2017, with a focus on unique, practical products, up-to-date parenting finds, and up-and-coming home decor.

1. A chic Windmill window AC so your apartment's aesthetic isn't ruined by your need for AC as the temps rise. Reviewers (and this very BuzzFeed writer!) love that this is efficient, quiet, easy to install, and can be controlled by a smartphone. The fact that this can be turned on using voice control was the single best thing to happen to my marriage in our last apartment, when neither of us had to get out of bed to change the temperature. 

Avery Felman / BuzzFeed

Windmill is an independent AC brand boasting three generations of family knowledge in the air conditioner business, with an updated design worth appreciating.

Promising review: "Not only is this unit sleek and discreet looking, but it is also so quiet and works so well! It keeps our room so cool. So happy we got this. Such a huge plus that you can control it from your phone as well as the remote!" —Chelsea G.

Get it from Windmill $369+ (available in four BTU levels). 

2. A neck and shoulder relaxer designed to provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much-needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down. If you carry stress in your shoulders and hunch down to see a computer screen and phone all day, this is happy to help!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

(Psst — you should consult with your doctor before trying anything new involving your neck/back area to make sure it's safe for you!)

For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lay on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).

3. A collection of ombre nesting bowls hue will wanna get in your life stat! These non-slip bowls come with lids and are dishwasher-safe, freezer-safe, food-safe, and BPA-free. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I like the fact that these bowls are deep rather than wide, so they don’t take up a lot of shelf space. The colors are beautiful. I threw all my old bowls with mismatched lids away!" —Lisa Jean

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 20 color options, two styles, and in sets of four or six bowls matching lids).

4. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads so you don't have to worry about running out of disposable pads right when you need them most. Save some time and money with these extra-thick microfiber versions!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up to 100 single-use pads. 

Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet, and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time-use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I’m sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" —AKGross

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99

5. A ceiling fan carbon filter designed by a *genius* who knew that 1) cleaning ceiling fan blades is a nightmare and 2) there's no better spot to gather dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens. These'll easily come off the fan, pop in the wash, and keep the air in your home far less pesky and particle-y! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $22.99.

6. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash formulated with luscious white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber (reviewers swear the copy-cat scent lasts all day long), so you can skip spending money on body sprays and still carry a gorgeous signature scent all the livelong day.

Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two other scents). 

7. A foaming drain cleaner for folks who are desperately trying to convince themselves that chores are FUN. If you've got a sink or bathtub drain that is worryingly slow, this gentle *powerhouse* foam can pull up gunk and clean out pipes, helping prevent future buildup for quite a bit. That is, until you get bored and really wanna have some fun playing with foam again.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

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

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

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

8. A Ninja Crispi *Pro* 6-in-1 glass air fryer — upgraded from the previous model, this icon of a kitchen appliance boasts six functions: max crisp, air fry, bake, roast, dehydrate, and recrisp. I've got a toddler who lives off of french fries, so you better believe that recrisp function has its hooks in me. It's teeny tiny but a whopping 1,800-watt air fryer (meaning it can cook a 7.5-pound chicken without breaking a sweat). AND... you get to watch it all happen. I'm such a sucker for this unnecessarily cool design. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

It comes with the air fryer, one 6-quart glass container, one 2.5-quart glass container, a removable base, two crisper plates, two storage lids, and a chef-inspired recipe book.

Promising review: "This Ninja Crispi Pro blew me away. I’ve owned a lot of kitchen gadgets over the years, but this one instantly became a top-tier favorite. It’s powerful, it’s simple, and everything about it just works. The controls are easy to understand, the performance is consistent, and the food comes out perfect every single time — crispy where it should be crispy, juicy where it should be juicy. I use it for quick meals, full dinners, reheats…everything. It saves time, keeps the kitchen clean, and honestly makes cooking fun again. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. If you’re thinking about getting one, don’t hesitate. It’s absolutely worth it." —Darnell

Get it from Amazon for $299.95 (available in five colors).

9. An over-the-sink dish drying rack, because if you feel like a third of your life goes to washing dishes... at least leave the drying to something else. These have multiple shelves and hanging racks of different sizes to fit up to 10 plates, 14 cereal bowls, knives, soap and dishwashing fluid, utensils, and even fresh produce. It includes 11 hooks, and all pieces are removable. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to assemble this rack. It's not flimsy. The quality is very sturdy. It fits over my large sink and is adjustable, so I'm assuming it can fit most sinks. It's got a lot of holders in various sizes, so it can fit a lot of items like sponges and liquid dish soap bottles. I love how it stores all my go-to sink and dishwashing items in one place. It makes my kitchen look much more organized and neat." —Moonray

Get it from Amazon for $56.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).

10. A deluxe U-shaped shelving system — this is gonna give you so much usable storage space, you just might finally find the spices you actually need to cook with. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Are you kidding me? Where has this been all my life?? It has cleaned up my cabinet with more space to spare and I love it! I love to cook so I have a ton of herbs and spices. I had a spice cabinet as well as a spice drawer and this has completely eliminated the spice drawer altogether. I’m so glad I decided to buy this and you won’t regret it either. It’s a bit flimsy but because little bottles like herbs and spices or even items from a medicine cabinet aren’t heavy, it’s perfect and durable enough for everything you need. My mind is blown here, ya’ll. This thing is amazing." —Caasie

Get them from Amazon for $25.99.

11. Bounce Curl's 5-in-1 Edgelift Curl Brush reviewers with curls, waves, and coils absolutely swear by. It's a one-stop shop for preventing frizz and defining your natural curl pattern. It's a 5-in-1 tool thanks to clever details on the sides: the medium edge separates and defines, and the top edge helps reduce volume for bangs and layers. This is also beloved by parents who have had a hard time taming their toddler's hair without tears — say "goodbye" to ~hairy~ situations in your house!

Amazon

Bounce Curl is a small business that specializes in curl brushes. 

Check out aTikTok of the Edgelift Curl Brush in action. 

Promising review: "Best brush hands down, I am a mixed girl with thick curly hair, and when I run this brush through my hair wet, it does magic. My curls after using this in the shower to detangle are amazing. Then I use my chosen product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp while separating effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K 

Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in five colors). 

12. A modern knife block you can get in a breezy coastal green and treat your countertops to a surprisingly practical centerpiece. The five stainless steel knives are nestled in an ash wood block, helping them stay sharp and easily accessible — a huge improvement on the worryingly risky "sharps drawer" you've got going on right now.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The set includes a 6-inch chef knife, a 5.5-inch Santoku knife, a 6-inch bread knife, a 4.5-inch utility knife, and a 3.5-inch paring knife.

Promising review: "These are so pretty and functional. The packaging was beautiful. Truly timeless appearance. I picked the blush pink set. I love that the knives are of good quality and easy to use. Space-saving, which I love. I hated getting rid of the box; that’s how pretty it was. It was blush pink and had such a pretty interior. The knives are thick and very sharp. I love that they are very practical and functional while having a beautiful appearance all at the same time. Definitely worth the price. Really worth it." —Simple shopper

Get it from Amazon for $199 (available in three colors).

13. A "flossing toothbrush" designed with two different types of bristles — one layer has classic firm bristles, while the longer layer is extra thin (10 times thinner, in fact!) and intended to clean deep between the cracks in your teeth and over your gums — just like floss. If you have sensitive teeth and love a deep clean, you're sure to love ~brushing up~ on your dental care game with this.

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

I use these and I love them! I used to use an electric one, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these. Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night, and I definitely see a difference in that area in particular. 

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99

14. A magnetic air fryer cooking guide so you can prep 120 recipes (including desserts, meats, veggies, and frozen foods) at a glance. No more guesswork when frying up some popcorn shrimp — just give this a gander and you're g2g!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is very useful, especially if you are new to using an air fryer. It's straightforward, easy to read, with different categories, including desserts. Has a nice-sized magnet on the back for fridge use, and a hook if you want to hang it up. I'd say they thought of everything, including being sturdy and well-made. Good price, good quality." —Thelma Johnson

Get it from Amazon for $8.87.

15. A sock and underwear organizer including collapsible cubbies designed to make sure your ~drawers~ are organized. There are square spots great to store socks and underwear, with horizontally stacked versions to keep your bras, tights, tops, etc., visible and easy to grab.

www.amazon.com

FYI — this set includes four bins: a six-cell bin with dimensions for ties, scarves, pocket squares, etc., an eight-cell bin great for your underwear drawer, a seven-cell bin that'll organize your bras, and a 24-cell option designed with socks in mind.

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C-cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers, I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD, and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best, cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $15.87+ (available in seven colors and two pack sizes).

16. A soup can safe— this is so realistic it'll put you at ease if you have a stack of cash or valuables you want tucked away, safely hidden in your food storage. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was amazed how real this looks, even side by side with the real thing. Of course, when you turn it over, you can see the compartment, and you will have to add weight if you want it to feel real, but just sitting in the pantry, it looks real!" —Brenda

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in seven styles).

17. A pair of sunglasses you wear *over* your prescription glasses — a suuuper helpful solution for anyone who has been struggling in the sun for too many years, refusing to spend money on prescription sunglasses and hoping for a simpler solution to keep their eyes comfy in the sun. This is it, my fellow four-eyed friends! These stay on, they're lightweight, and they work.

Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

As you can see above, I have big frames, and they're a curious shape, so finding sunglasses that fit over them was a big win! The sunglasses have a slightly elongated lip on the upper half, helping them snuggly balance over any shape of glasses. I wore these to Disneyland, and I was able to wear them over my frames while on rides, and they stayed on! I can't recommend these enough. My husband (who wears thick square glasses) has stolen these from me, which is the biggest 5-star review I can imagine. The man is picky. 

Promising review: "These are great! They cover my glasses well, and you can’t see my glasses through the lenses. The polarized lenses make colors pop while reducing the sun's brightness." —Leigh Manuel

Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 21 styles).

18. A 52-week tear-off meal planning padframed by poppies and posies that'll have you wishing you remembered cursive so your grocery list looked as pretty as the rest of your planning pad. This is basically the adult version of putting drawings on the fridge... might as well make it fancy!

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the weekly meal planning pad in action. 

Sweetzer and Orangeis a small business specializing in planners, stationery, and educational products. 

Promising review: "The magnet is great, sticks to fridge very well, does not slide or move. Perfect for planning meals and adding needed grocery items to the right side. Then you just tear off the right side and head to the store. This has made our family meal planning so much easier!" —SandyBeach

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles). 

19. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer — basically bubble tea for your face — infused with vitamin C and niacinamide-filled liposome capsules that'll pop when applied, all to help oxidize, brighten, and smooth your complexion for some sensational glass skin. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase them for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and it's pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slightly sticky residue, but I think it's overall amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glowed and felt smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother, and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby’s bum the next morning!" —tracey + kiwi

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in four other styles).

20. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a staple K-beauty solution that'll practically give your *hair* glass skin. The brilliant seven-oil blend of Moroccan argan, olive, coconut, Marula, jojoba, apricot, and camellia oil protects hair while smoothing away dry damage. Plus, using oil on wet hair before blow-drying cuts down your dry time! It's heat-safe up to 450 degrees, so no need to part ways with your beloved heat tools.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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

Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in two sizes, a cream style, and four formulas).

21. A retinol body lotion — sure, retinol is great for your face, but there's a whole *body* of skin it can help out! This particularly dreamy, creamy formula helps promote skin cell turnover using retinol, while the ferulic acid firms skin to promote natural skin tightening. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlice

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in various formulas and multipacks).

22. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes with a clinical-strength formula that'll last up to 7 days (!!!) for folks who get seasonal depression whenever the sun has them sweatin' it for no good reason. The reviewer below applied SweatBlock only to their underarms — look at that difference!

www.amazon.com

As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months!

Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two and three).

23. AnSPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar, a K-beauty *blessing* for anyone who is sick and tired of goopy, sticky sunscreen that leaves their eyes watering from harsh chemicals. The curved balm is a genius design — the shape naturally glides across the curves of your face, which also makes it a breeze to put on. Simply keep this in your bag and swipe it on (even over your makeup) when you're in the sun, because sunscreen should be applied *several* times a day. Nothing makes that practice easier than this stuff!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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

The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

This is the most important piece of skincare in my life. It's so small and lightweight that I treat it like ChapStick — I have one in my medicine cabinet *and* in every one of my bags. Which is a great thing, since sunscreen is such a crucial part of our skincare routine. This makes it easy to reapply regularly. There's no mess or product to smooth out; it just gives your face a dewy, hydrated glow. AND that's the other reason this is my #1 — it's the best moisturizer. I can't believe how hydrated my skin feels when I use this, and I'm always delighted by how good it looks. Seriously, this is top-tier makeup, sun care, and moisturizer all in one.

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 $16.46

24. A hands-free, bladeless portable neck fan that'll treat you to fans on either side of your neck, pointing up at your face with a gentle breeze that'll feel positively heaven-sent on sunny days. This has five different speeds to choose from, so you know you'll be comfortable no matter how long you're stuck saving a spot for your family before the Fourth of July parade. 

www.amazon.com

Depending on the speed, you can get up to 16 hours of run time.

Promising review: "This is a lightweight fan that produces a strong breeze. Even if it's just moving hot air, at least it helps keep you cool. It was nearly 90 degrees the day that I used it, and it lasted for at least 9 hours. Highly recommended for theme parks or other locations where there's little shade and lots of heat!" —Blondegrandma

Get it from Amazon for $26.85+ (available in five colors).

25. A Pikk-it tool for anyone who has practically sacrificed their fingers trying to dig into the brushes of their vacuum to remove hair, lint, and buildup that has made it less than effective. Tiny, inexpensive tools that help your *expensive* products work better are the lifeblood of responsibility. Help take care of the things that... take care of the things that... need to be done in your life!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

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

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

26. A cult favorite pair of Dr. Scholl's sneakers that *might* not have been on the top of your favorite shoe brand list, but they're about to be. Plus, they're made with recycled plastic bottles. You read that right! These simple slip-on sneakers are orthopedic shoes in disguise, ideal for errands, vacations, and daily wear. They feature a smooth design with an ultra-flexible outsole, extra grip, and added cushioning. Seriously, you've gotta go dive into these rave reviews.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip, and my feet never hurt, and I still looked cute. Then a few months later, we went to Durango, Colorado, and did a ton of walking, and again, my feet never hurt. I washed them and let them air-dry several times over the next year, and they came out great each time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them, so I can still look cute and be comfortable, and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!" —J. Perkins

Get them from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in five styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 

27. Catrice's "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener (made with a *chef's kiss* mix of hyaluronic acid and shea butter), which became a knockout success once reviewers started raving en masse about the product's instant invisible coverage. If you're looking for quick and easy results that suggest you don't even require sleep... you've come to the right brightener.

www.amazon.com

The color-adaptive formula is designed so that one of four shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has only praise for this product. Check out her Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener review to learn more.

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

28. A *flower* toilet gel stamp so you can keep your toilet looking and smelling fresh for far longer. After each flush, the stamp releases the cleaning gel and aromas (lemon, rose, jasmine, and more), which foam and clean your toilet. Reviewers love this thing so much they're being downright irresponsibly clean, bedazzling toilets to their heart's content!  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be of good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through multiple flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —Francia

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets).

29. Miss Mouth's Messy Eater, a travel-friendly stain spray (with a whopping 67,000 5-star reviews!) named with the messiest eaters in mind, for those of us who need a stain remover that understands our struggles. This is a baby-safe product that works on grease, coffee, underwear, and food stains with ease. 

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My mother’s group recommended this stain-removing spray. I was dumb enough to put my 6-month-old in a white bib while he enjoyed some frozen berry teethers. This came to the rescue (pictured above)!" —L

"I never write reviews, but this stuff is absolutely amazing! I keep this in the laundry basket and spray as stains happen, and even white clothes come out perfectly clean each time! I mostly use it for baby poop, but it’s also worked on food and coffee stains for my husband and me. Seriously, a lifesaver!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $7.97(available in multiple pack styles).

30. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets designed to clean and deodorize your machine while it runs naturally, makin' it sparkle and shine without you spending time scrubbing! Say goodbye to limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup! Okay, "Goodbye limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup!"

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have the nose of a truffle pig and can smell the slightest tinge of something in the air, so when my dishwasher starts to smell, I am the first and usually the only one in the family to notice it right away. I have tried all the usual brands to get the hard water stains and gross food smell out. Even rinse my dishes super well. None of them work like this stuff does! I was wary at first about buying it because it was so cheap. A year's worth of cleaning tabs!! Forget Finish, Cascade, and the other stuff. This stuff really works! Keeps dishwasher free from hard water marks, and my dishes come out crystal clear after." —Courtney E. Delong

31. And a box of washing machine cleaning tablets (because your appliance-cleaning day means *all* your appliances) to dissolve residue and make your washing machine actually smell fresh, which is a big deal when you haven't washed your machine since... you bought it.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Our new LG washer gets a stinky smell every so often, so I bought these tabs. I put one in a month on the clean tub setting, and it eliminates the odor. I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and added an X when I put the tab in for the month. This way I don't miss a month and my washer runs great." —akkeber

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.98 (also available in two other pack sizes).

32. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you skip all that wasted time dicing your vegetables into teeny tiny pieces one slice at a time. This'll make prep (and clean up!) so fast, it'll feel downright magical. No need to rinse a knife and cutting board. Plus, the interchangeable blades just pop out, then throw them right into the dishwasher.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $26.72+ (available in six styles and four colors).

33. A Euthymol stain-removing toothpaste I was personally influenced to buy because of a BuzzFeed post (yeah, I'm a sucker for a good practical products post). Thanks to this stuff, you can flash your pearly whites in every photo you take with the cherry blossoms this year. This has a bold, minty flavor that wakes me up in the morning *and* I'm right there with the other reviewers who mention noticing a difference after their first use. This stuff is the good stuff!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This stuff has some bite! If you experience a tingling sensation, that's totally normal. You're getting sparkly clean (I know from experience).

Promising review: "I have never had a toothpaste make my teeth slay this hard. They’re SO white. I was upset because I had been through so many teeth whitening treatments, and yet my teeth were still yellow and felt stained. It’s been a few days, and my teeth already look at least seven shades lighter. There are so many toothpastes that say 'whitening' and don’t do the job, but this one ACTUALLY whitens, which feels like a rare find. It’s also minty, and my mouth feels super fresh every time I use it. If you’re tired of having yellow teeth, this toothpaste is going to do its job and blow you away!! Never going back to any other toothpaste, I am too in love with these results." —Alexis Myer

Get it from Amazon for $13.

34. A trio of Scrub Daddy sponges with two unique design features: they stay firm in cold water and soft in warm water. The varied textures allow for deep cleans without scratching the surfaces of your best dinnerware. And the best part? You can clean these by putting them in the top rack of your dishwasher!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out our full review of the Scrub Daddy sponge here.

Promising review: "How can you NOT love the Scrub Daddy? Been getting my friends hooked on this for years. Buy it, then send me a little thank-you note because it changed your life. OK, maybe not changed but definitely nudged. Never smells, dishwasher safe, lasts forever, doesn't hurt dishes, gets all the junk." —Kristi Rosengreen

Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99.

35. A meat shredder that'll quickly become the #1 tool in your kitchen. Start indulging in shredded pork, chicken, and tofu weekly, without spending ages on shredding prep with a couple of forks. Just toss in your cooked meat and twist a couple of times! Your aching wrists and happy stomach will thank you! 

www.amazon.com

I bought this after seeing it in a coworker's BuzzFeed article (you better believe I trust a BF review!) aaand it is witchcraft. I recommended it to my grandmother after using it. You don't know Nene, but if you did, you'd know recommending a kitchen tool to the *elite* chef in my family is a BIG deal. I bought it as a time-saver. I tossed an entire boiled chicken breast into this thing, twisted it twice, and it was perfectly shredded. I recommended it because I think it's a massively useful tool for folks with limited mobility or frustrating arthritis. This one's worth the cupboard space, folks! 

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of those 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I had taken a video, but I didn’t. It didn’t move/slip from the counter, and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" —Ruthie K Voss

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 11 colors).

36. A pack of two Downy fabric sprays — with this, you're *finally* gonna rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases. 

www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Danielle Healy says, "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer."

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 for a two-pack (available in multiple pack styles and in three scents).

37. A stunning minimizer bra to basically give you a surgery-free breast reduction with some ultimate seduction. The comfortable sheer mesh and lace details are oh-so-sexy that, despite the impressive results when worn under shirts, you may find yourself too distracted looking at your gorgeous shelf (oops, I mean, self) to wanna put clothes on over it. Reviewers rave about the bra's ability to support breasts while minimizing bulk without the awkward separating and squishing that often result from lesser bras. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Some reviewers recommend ordering one cup size up for correct coverage.

Promising review: "I wear a 38DDD, and finding a bra to keep them supported and dry has been a never-ending battle. I typed in 'minimize bras,' and I took a chance on this one. I’m so, so thankful I did! This bra does not disappoint! It’s true to size. It keeps my chest lifted without straps digging in. It's super soft on my skin and keeps me dry! I have bought five more and got rid of all my old bras. You will not be disappointed with these bras!" —Brynn Trimaldi

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in band sizes 28–48, cup sizes B–I, and 15 colors).

38. A sensitive skin-friendly Arencia Rice Mochi Cleanser with brilliant bits of rice powder that'll gently exfoliate congested pores that cause blackheads. This'll be great if you're dealing with redness and acne, thanks to the calming green tea and centella in the formula. If you're new to rice water, you'll be shocked by how refreshed and hydrated your skin feels after using this stuff!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I started using this Korean skincare product with blemishes, acne, dark spots, and overall tired‑looking skin. On day one, my skin looked dull and uneven. After one month, I can clearly see a difference — my skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even‑toned. Some of my dark spots have lightened, and my breakouts have calmed down a lot. It’s not a dramatic overnight change, but it’s definitely real, steady improvement, and I’m excited to keep going." —chelo

Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

39. A Meditherapy skin booster serum for folks who are ready to dabble in the glass skin trend. This is comparable to retinol but is said to be even more effective thanks to the added Centella asiatica, which makes it gentle and safe even on sensitive skin. It's super lightweight yet strong enough to reduce wrinkles, minimize the appearance of pores (typically within 4 weeks), and ultimately redefine your skin's texture. Although it's intended to be a long-term solution, reviewers rave about noticing a difference within days. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Honestly, buy it. I was skeptical about this serum, especially since it’s such a large bottle for so cheap, plus this was a leap of faith for me since I do have sensitive skin. I’ve been using this religiously for over a week now, and even after the first day, I could see and feel the improvement in my skin. I went from having small red breakouts to clear, even skin almost overnight. I’m not even wearing makeup now because I love the look and glow my skin has. I don’t even do reviews, but this product deserves it 100%. I will be purchasing again. BUY IT!" —Boogs

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

40. A hidden fly trap you plug into an outlet when you have house flies, fruit flies, moths, or gnats crawling around. The little light lures bugs by up to 400 feet (!!!), and the sneaky design means this thing'll be blastin' bugs by the dozen without ruining your room's clean aesthetic.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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

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

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in multiple pack sizes).

41. Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Hydrating Multi-Balm, a must-have K-beauty product for anyone trying to achieve gorgeous, glowing, glass skin. This all-in-one moisturizer is formulated for your lips, eyes, and neck, which is one of the many reasons it's been such a sensation on TikTok. This uses salmon complex and collagen to reduce fine lines while enhancing your skin with a smooth, hydrating glow for a "just out of the shower" effect.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

I own this! I got it after finding it in a BuzzFeed article (yeah, they get me too), and it quickly became a necessity in my skincare routine. I tend to not wear makeup, so anything I put on my skin, even for aesthetic, has to have a purpose. I also need the simplest skincare system possible, or I won't do it, which has made this multi-use balm a real gift in my life! It feels so, so good and leaves my skin looking fresh. 

Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after-feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me and will def try the others!" —Kristy 

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in seven other formulas). 

42. A *life*-changing 12-piece Caraway cookware set— they're nonstick cookware with minimalist silhouettes that'll complement your increasingly cozy kitchen, a true aesthetic dream. These work on induction, gas, and electric stove tops; they're all oven-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, have a nontoxic coating, and feature non-stick ceramic with an aluminum core and stainless steel handles. Whew! Sorry for all that; I really got Caraway'd away! 

www.amazon.com, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

The set has a 10.5-inch fry pan, a 3-quart sauce pan and lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan and a lid, a 6.5-quart Dutch oven and a lid, and storage for the pans and lids. 

The video above is me doing my darndest to find something this cookware can't do by *caramelizing heavy cream* aaand guess what? It was flawless! These refuse to let anything stick to them or gunk them up. I use them heavily, every single day, and they continue to outdo themselves. Also, the storage system deserves its own highlight. I have nearly no counter space, and these pans aren't small, but the clever cubby/hanging canvas pot holder makes it possible to tuck this entire set into a teeny tiny corner beside my stove. I'm not a good enough person to deserve this kitchen set. I really, really recommend it.

Promising review: "I absolutely love my Caraway cookware! They are so easy to clean, and the magnetic organizers are great for easy storage in kitchen cabinets. I love the hanging lid holder as it saves space and is super convenient (and renter-friendly with the adhesive hooks). The only thing I would mention is that they are not super lightweight. Otherwise, they are superb quality, nontoxic, nonstick, and beautiful!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $445+ (available in eight colors and multiple set sizes).

43. A pack ofSPF-sensing stickers to remind your skin about the importance of sunscreen when you're having too much fun to remember to reapply on your own. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm multi-racial with tan skin. I burn when it's intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida, and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." —FlightLife

Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $16.49+ (also available in 2- and 3-packs). 

44. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner — this'll clean your shower and prevent scummy buildup without *any* scrubbing. Because why use elbow grease when you clean? That even sounds dirty!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring at the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack).

45. A daily planner to help you keep track of class schedules, chores, and even your water intake if your spring cleaning goals this year are more about cleaning up your cluttered mind. Thanks, A-types, for finding a way to keep the house clean *and* stay hydrated... with a planner.

Amazon

Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

Promising review: "Bought this last week. Love the set up. I can begin in the morning and then reflect at night. It covers everything from what you're grateful for to what you ate that day. I will definitely be using these for a long time!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!" —Chloe
