1. A set of antimicrobial toothbrushes featuring "floss" bristles that are designed to reach between your teeth (bye-bye, little food bits hiding in there) and are formulated with nano-silver , which may help kill off microbes left on the bristles. Your other toothbrushes simply cannot relate!!! Mouthwatchers is a small biz that sells antimicrobial toothbrushes, which are also available in bundle sets and travel-sized options ! I started using this toothbrush a few months ago and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you my mouth feels cleaner post-brushing with this toothbrush than any other ones I've used.
I will say the floss bristles at first can be a little rough, but I very quickly got used to it, and now I'm a fan of these for life. Promising review: "Like most people, I've tried any number of toothbrushes (electric and manual) and can't say I've ever experienced an appreciable or memorable difference. Until this one.
This one's approach to gum care got my attention. And they deliver. I can't remember the last time my mouth felt so clean without any torture involved.
Highly recommend." — Emma Hunter Get two from Amazon for $9.90 .
2. A glowy lip balm from beloved brand Laneige — thanks to ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil, this small-but-mighty tube of goodness delivers hydration, shine, and a yummy scent. Promising review: "This makes my lips feel sooo soft and glowy! Keeps them hydrated and smells so good!" — Jordan Inglett Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in eight options).
3. A Squatty Potty that'll help make squatting while using the restroom more seamless and comfortable. It's actually better for your body to squat than sit, just FYI.

If you want more Squatty Potty content before making the best purchase of your life, check out our Squatty Potty review . Promising review: "I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome).
This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one.
That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." — P.
W. Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (get the acrylic version for $79.
99 or the teak wood version for $55.99 ). 4.
A cold brew coffee maker for enjoying a yummy iced coffee treat without having to wait on line at your local coffee shop every morning. Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily, but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option), so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out, too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER . All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made.
You need this !!" — Carmen E Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 5.
A hairbrush designed for curly hair — whether you're styling, detangling, separating, or defining your luscious locks, you're gonna wonder how you ever lived without this bb. Promising review: "Definitely works wonders for my hair! I’ve always had curly hair, and only in the last few years have I really started embracing them. I still have a lot to learn about having curly hair, but getting the Denman brush has brought me closer to perfect curls! Definitely have to watch videos (I saw a TikTok haha) for styling tips.
" — Carla Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five styles). 6.
A set of checkered makeup pouches because keeping your cosmetics and brushes/sponges all over your bathroom counter isn't super sanitary nor does it look very nice. By keeping your makeup products in a pouch, you can easily pack them in your bag when you're going on a trip or just headed out for the day knowing you might want some touch-ups later. Promising review: "I bought these because of the famous TikTok video.
All I have to say is that they are sooo cute. Great quality. And perfect size.
100% recommend." — angelina Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in various styles and pack options).
7. A SwitchBot — a super cool gadget to turn an appliance or light switch in your home into a smart device. What could be better than getting out of bed and walking into your kitchen to your morning java already brewed for you? Nothing, that's what.
Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed! Promising review: "Super great! It comes with clear instructions, the mobile app is clear and well-designed, and it's super easy to set the whole thing up. Honestly, I'm really happy with the product.
Now, I don't have to get up all the time when I inevitably forget to turn the lights off. I can just hit the button on my phone, and VOOP, the little arm comes out and presses the switch!" — Noah R. Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in white and black).
8. A bedside water carafe set because think of how much easier it'll be when you wake up thirsty in the middle of the night and have an entire carafe full of water to refill your glass rather than having to get out of bed and go to the kitchen. Promising review: "I saw this carafe in a BuzzFeed article.
This is definitely something I needed that I didn’t know that I needed. I live in a two-story house with the kitchen on the opposite end, which makes me groggily navigate the stairs at night. I usually have a water bottle on my nightstand, but I decided I could upgrade.
This carafe is a little smaller than I’d like but for the price, it’s really perfect and no-frills. It’s simple but functional. I guess you could use this for mouthwash, too, but it’s perfect for bedside water.
I love that the cup covers the top when not in use so that the water stays clean. I would not hesitate to purchase this item again." — JadeMermaid Get it from Amazon for $12.
99 . 9. An oral rinse that's loved by reviewers — and for good reason: This stuff provides 12 hours (yes, 12!!!!) of coverage from bad breath and the bacteria that leads to it.
Bonus points: It's vegan and free of alcohol and artificial colors/flavors. I've been a loyal Listerine (the zero alcohol kind) for many years now, but lately was feeling like it wasn't doing as much as it used to for me in the fresh breath department. I recently decided to try out TheraBreath because I had been seeing it EVERYWHERE and wanted to see what the hype was all about (if it was even worth it).
The first night I used it, I was truly shocked. I literally felt like I had just left my dentist after a cleaning. That was how fresh my mouth felt.
I've been using the mild mint flavor (although I'm debating trying the icy mint next), but the mint flavor is super subtle, and the results are truly awesome. If you're a garlic/onion lover like me or just looking to elevate your fresh breath game, definitely consider TheraBreath or talk to your dentist about adding it to your routine! Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.34 .
10. A colorful keyboard and mouse set because many of us have been doing this whole "WFH" thing for years now, and it's time to give our office setups the shake-up they've been craving. Psst — this takes AA batteries for the mouse and keyboard.
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing keyboard. Colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting on their own to come in now after seeing mine.
Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well.
Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quickly, but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse, and it's on again. I have had mine for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style!" — Nikki Bell Get it from Amazon for $40.
99 (available in 12 styles). 11. A shaking alarm clock ideal for those who need a real jolt to get them out of bed in the morning, those who don't like waking up to the sound of music or annoying ringtones, or those who have hearing loss and need a solution that doesn't rely on sounds to alert them when it's time to rise and shiiiine.
Promising review: "This was bought for a young friend who had taken a new job with very early hours. She was getting in trouble at her new job because she had difficulty waking up to her alarm so very early in the morning. She has stated this alarm clock would 'wake the dead!' The clincher, though, is the earthquake that occurs under her pillow when the very loud alarm goes off! This alarm clock has fixed her problem and trained her to wake up very early each morning.
She hasn't been late (from oversleeping, anyway) since she received this clock. Another plus is the terrific retro look and turquoise color of the clock. I recommend this for anyone who has difficulty waking to a regular alarm clock.
It is an outstanding product! Thank you!" — Lisa Engle Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in four colors). 12.
A four-piece sheet set so you can lay down at the end of a long day on a set of crisp, clean, luxe-feeling fresh sheets without paying to stay at a 5-star hotel. Sets come with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases (with only one pillowcase included in the Twin size). Promising review: "These are the real deal!! I found them from a TikTok, and my husband actually said after the first night, 'Let’s just replace all of our sheets with these; they’re so comfortable!' It’s a beautiful blue and white pattern.
They wash well and breathe at night — I am always hot, but these stayed cool. Definitely buying more!" — Julia Monroe Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in sizes Twin—California King and 42 colors).
13. A hair and body fragrance mist that'll have you wondering if it's considered proper etiquette to sniff yourself in public. Not to see if you smell bad, but because you'll smell so yummy, you won't be able to resist taking in your delicious aroma.
When I tell you this has been on my wish list for like a year, I'm not kidding. For some reason, I couldn't bring myself to spend $24 on a fragrance mist, but I was SO enticed. Finally, after putting it in an article at the beginning of the year and seeing how many BuzzFeed readers had purchased it, I decided it was time to just do it.
This stuff really smells so good...
like I want to bathe in it and might cry when it runs out because the price point pains me a bit, but I just can't be without this stuff now that I own it. Now, I will say when it comes to going out for special occasions, I stick with perfume instead, but this is great for those more casual days where you want to still smell DELICIOUS but don't want to feel like you're wearing an overpowering perfume either. Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in six scents).
14. A Dawn Powerwash dish spray capable of cutting through grease five times faster than regular dish soap. Now you can spend less time doing the dishes and more time watching Love Island as you digest your dinner.
Promising review: "Dawn is a soap that I think most people are familiar with. This is Dawn, but about 50x stronger! I used to dread cleaning pots and pans, but Dawn Platinum Powerwash makes that chore a lot quicker, and the pots and pans cleaner. Note: you get the original spray bottle plus three refills, so when you run out of the product in the bottle, it’s no problem.
I would highly recommend this cleaning powerhouse! I don’t think there is anything else on the market even close to what this does." — Phoenix Tyler Get a spray bottle and three refills from Amazon for $18.47 .
15. A stainless-steel water bottle you can bet will put any other water bottle on the market to shame. You may be asking why, and the first reason is that it comes with a double-spout built-in straw (a smaller opening for sipping and a large one for swigging).
Unlike other popular bottles, this one allows you to cover the straw when you're not drinking from it, thanks to the leak-proof push button opening! Did I mention it'll keep your drinks cold for 24 hours and features a carry loop for easy transport? Promising review: "This is the second one I have purchased. I love this water bottle for the ease of drinking. The built-in sipping feature is a game changer, and I appreciate being able to close the top and keep the mouthpiece clean, unlike bottles with exposed straws.
Don't ever change the design!" — Jill Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in 21 colors and 4 sizes). 16.
A wall charger complete with six outlets AND two USB ports because you need to juice up your devices on a daily basis, so why not do so with something that ALSO functions as a night-light?! I love hosting friends at my apartment, but I have had my fair share of moments where I'm hosting a gathering or have several friends staying with me for a weekend and haven't had enough outlets for everyone's devices. It's not a huge deal and has never really been an issue, but when I moved into a bigger apartment, I realized that meant I had more space for larger gatherings and, with that, should have more outlets available. I've had a few gatherings since then and, thanks to this baby, never have a shortage of outlets anymore.
Promising review: "Better than any strip! I saw this on TikTok, and it’s everything. Love the auto night-light feature. So versatile and compact.
Worth every penny. Will be ordering more." — Kellie Get it from Amazon for $17.
97 . 17. A toilet seat handle for anyone who gets the ick simply thinking about having to lift/close the toilet seat before using the restroom.
Doesn't matter who you live with, it's YUCKY. Lifty Loo is a small business that specializes in toilet lifting tabs that are made with recycled ocean plastic. Promising review : "Works perfect for what I need it for.
I just figured out where it would work best on my toilet, then I adhered it. It doesn't get in the way, and my younger boys are able to pick the seat up without touching the seat." — SK Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.
97 (available in two colors). 18. A pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds that are waterproof, come with multiple silicone earbuds so you can find your perfect size, and happen to be just as good as more expensive headphones on the market at a fraction of the cost (*cough AirPods cough*).
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port, so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing, and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" — Kate Arnold Get it from Amazon for $24.
99 (available in five colors). 19. A winged eyeliner stamp so you can cut down time during your makeup routine trying to nail the perfect cat-eye.
Just stamp it on and go, go, gooooo! Lovoir Beauty is a small biz based in New Zealand that sells this genius winged eyeliner stamp known as The Flick Stick. Promising review: "Best eyeliner ever! This item was a 'TikTok made me buy it' purchase, LOL, but overall, I am truly happy with this purchase. Thank you! Your product is truly amazing!" — Samantha Lopez Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.
98 (available in three sizes). 20. A pill tracker for attaching to any pill bottle or packets you may be taking so you can accurately keep track of your daily dosage.
No more frantically trying to remember every single move you made that day or panicking because you forgot to set a reminder on your phone. Take-n-Slide is a small biz that makes these helpful medication trackers and reminders. Promising review: "I just started taking medication, so getting into the routine has not been easy.
In the first few months, I have been unsure if I have taken my pill. I tried several ways to monitor, but I still was left wondering some days. This is perfect.
I guess you can take it off the pill bottle, but instead of changing bottles, I just put my refills in the original so I can use this long term." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors and in packs of two).
21. A flower-shaped velvet armchair that *gasp* might make you excited to park your booty for an 8-hour workday. OK, maybe not that, but it will have you trying to angle your camera in a way that allows you to show off your new chair on video calls.
Promising review: "This chair surprised me! The chair is much more lush and sturdy than I expected and has some nice weight to it! All you do is attach the legs to the top portion, and done. Super easy to assemble and very comfy. Looks like it could be from a high-end company.
Great find!" — Jordan Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in seven colors). 22.
A dishwasher magnet so there's no more mistaking if the dishes inside the appliance are clean and ready to be taken out or still need to be run through a cycle. Promising review: "I bought this because of a TikTok video. Super cool, and now nobody has to ask me if the dishes are clean or not.
" — D. Washington Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in five styles).
23. Anti-slip silicone glasses sleeves to keep your eyewear where it belongs — ya know, on your face — and NOT slipping and sliding down to the floor and risking getting broken AGAIN. Promising review: "I was a little dubious about these, but my daughter's glasses were always falling off her face and to the floor, so if I could spend a couple of bucks to save her expensive glasses, it was worth a shot.
In fact, because you get five pairs, I put a set on my glasses, and I'll be darned if they don't work really well. They add a little bit of bulk to your glasses, so if you're extremely fashion-conscious, it's not like tape-on-the-bridge nerdy, but it's there. But if you're more concerned about having your glasses feel like they're going to stay put on your head, then you'll like these.
They aren't too thick, so you don't really notice them on your ears. In fact, because of the soft silicone, they actually result in less of the occasional soreness I would get from my glasses on my ears sometimes." — Domenico Bettinelli Get a pack of five pairs (10 total) from Amazon for $6.
99 (available in three colors). 24. A set of Kegel exercise weights for strengthening your pelvic floor muscles a little bit with each exercise (they recommend doing it for 15 minutes a day).
Some benefits reviewers love from these are a decrease in incontinence and an increase in more pleasurable sex. Read more about kegel exercises at Cleveland Clinic . Intimate Rose is a small biz! Promising review: "Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved.
I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself.
The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this out. The overall quality of my life has improved.
Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, and no more mad dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away.
I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." — Lady Tauber Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.
99 (also available in a two-pack option). 25. A water dispenser leveler you simply clip or screw onto your fridge's water dispenser to put an end to the issue that is the annoying angle of the water spout making it impossible to fully fill a glass of water.
Packard 3D Designs is a Maryland-based small business run by mechanical engineer Austin Packard. Promising reviews: "Super helpful to my dad, who has issues with fine motor skills after a spinal cord injury!" — Brooke "I no longer hate my fridge!!!! This water dispenser attachment fits absolutely perfectly, and now I don’t have to contort my body to fill up cups, bottles, and pitchers of water !!! Thank you SO much for such a high-quality product. Truly life-altering.
" — Christine C Get it from Packard 3D Design s on Etsy for $25 (available in three colors and two attachment styles). 26. A memory foam pillow designed to adjust to your preferred sleeping position because whether you're a back, stomach, or side sleeper, you deserve a comfortable night's rest.
Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews, but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok, and it got me curious, so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game-changer.
I’m a side sleeper, and this pillow is heaven . It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much that I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow.
Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT Get it from Amazon for $75+ (available in three styles and two sizes). 27.
A collapsible travel cup so you can head to work in the morning with a fresh cup of hot java to sip on during your commute and easily fold it down and store away in your bag at the end of the day for a mess-/bulk-free trip home. Stojo is a small biz that sells reusable and collapsible kitchen/travel products! Promising review: "I take my lunch to work, and during midday, I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical.
It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. It seals well, so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt.
It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup.
Plus, you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave, which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily, too. If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you.
But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years." — ViciousCycle Get it from Amazon for $14.
95+ (available in 4 sizes and 24 colors). 28. A Nest Learning Thermostat that'll literally learn your temperature patterns and control the thermostat in your house accordingly throughout the day and night.
It'll help lower energy bills, so you're not using too much AC or heat at times when it's not needed. Promising review: "We have had our Nest thermostat for a little over a year now, and I have to say we love it. I would give it 10 stars if I could!!! The features are amazing.
I like that. You can adjust the temperature when you’re not home, plus it syncs with the weather and knows when to adjust the temperature. Plus, it knows when you’re home or away and learns your routine.
We keep it set to a temperature range where, in the winter, it won’t go below a set temperature, and in the summer, it won’t go above a set temperature. No more switching back and forth between heat and AC in our wild Texas weather. Our electric bill is significantly lower.
It takes a couple of weeks for it to learn your routine. We don’t ever even have to touch the thermostat." — geoff arvesen Get it from Amazon for $169 .
29. A misting spray bottle you can fill with water, hair products, cleaning products, or anything else you'd like to be able to mist out of a spray bottle. Such a simple, but helpful product.
Promising review: "Another amazing product TikTok made me buy. Was looking for some thing for when I wet my hair in the mornings. My old typical spray bottles kept breaking or leaking.
This one has a longer spray time and the mist is perfect when I don’t want to get my hair too wet. All in all worth it especially for the price." — M.
Zuniga Get it from Amazon for $5.09+ (available in various sizes). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
