1. A pair of oversize fleece cargo joggers complete with POCKETS, made with a cotton blend so satisfyingly soft that it'll be a miracle if you ever pull yourself out of Lounge Hound Mode again. Promising review : "High-quality baggy sweatpants.
I love them so much I also bought four different colors . I wanted the slightly baggy, hang off my mid-waist look. They are very warm and soft inside.

Promising review: "I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it . No eye drop has made my eyes look this great.
Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.69.
3. A set of delightfully ~~tingly~~ self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint perfect for anyone whose recent step count is "too many." Nothing like a lil' self-care on those aching feet to lift your spirits! Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action.
I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes.
After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.

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." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades).
5. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel , a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It's basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!! Promising review: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently.
I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith Get it from Amazon for $5.99 .

Check out a TikTok of Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30 in action. Promising review: "Smells SO GOOD! This sunscreen smells so nostalgic and I love the whipped cream play. Makes me much more excited about putting sunscreen on.
A little bit goes a long way, and it’s pretty thick on the skin . Breaks down into a lotion kind of and turned out to be too oily for my face specifically, but love it for my body. Will be buying this again!" — avery Get it from Amazon (with a free air freshener!) for $23 .
8. A buildable Space Glow Color-Changing Lipstick with a sheer, subtle shimmer and a unique blue-based pink tint formulated with pH technology so it will adapt to a personalized shade so perfect you'll look stellar 💫. Check out a TikTok of the Space Glow Color-Changing Lipstick in action.

99 . 9. A pair of classic round polarized sunglasses so you can have the elevated look of Ray-Bans without the constant fear of losing $300 sunglasses somewhere because you got distracted squinting at a meme on Instagram.
Promising review: "Sojos have been my number one choice of sunnies for years now. Even if Ray-Bans were this price, I’d still choose Sojos. They are high end quality without the price tag, lightweight yet durable, truly polarized, fashionable, comfortable, the list goes on!

99 (available in eight styles). 10. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing.
Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! 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 definitely see a difference in that area in particular. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90 .
11. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation , which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use.
Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof .
This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made.
It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT. Promising review : "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build.
" — Smickens Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 10 shades). 12.
Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action.
(Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE , some of you are WILD.) Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. Promising review : "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake.
I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED .
.. best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes.
This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I’m happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." — nancy Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $8.79 .
13. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion , which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy.
This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb.
The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing.
" — Dragonheart Jo Get it from Amazon for $8.98 . 14.
A " Grievance Journal ," or rather a "burn book for the discerning misanthrope" — a darkly funny, satisfying, and cathartic journal with 52 prompts so you can purge yourself of the ~~darkness~~ of your daily irritations and inconveniences without alarming all your friends and neighbors. (Well, any more than you already do 😈.) Promising review : "Bought this intending to gift it to a friend but ended up getting really into the prompts and decided to keep it for myself.
WOW, what an awesome way to vent and articulate the negativity you're feeling by actually forcing yourself to form coherent thoughts around your emotions. Cheaper and more effective than therapy, buying several more for friends and fam. " — Alex Get it from Amazon for $27.
99 . 15. A decorative rainbow window film that says, "Yes, I want my privacy, but I also want to be extremely glamorous about it.
" Not only does this refract beautiful rainbows in your space, but reviewers mention that it's handy for pet owners whose dogs love to bark at things outside, and that they also used them to outfit the sunroofs of their cars to prevent glare. Promising review: "I had no privacy in the evenings and was looking for an alternative solution that was not only effective but that would look good, too. After putting these up, I finally have some really effective privacy.
It's so nice without everybody being able to see into my windows whenever they please at night. The amazing amount of rainbow effect that happens during the daytime when the sunlight streams through is so neat! My place is flooded with rainbows everywhere. It is better than I pictured!" — Sally Skeleton Get it from Amazon for $6.

I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.
99 (available in two colors). 17. A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag so easy to use that all you have to do is stick your clothes inside, zip up the bag, roll the bag, and watch all the excess air get squished out of them until your clothes magically shrink.
Yes, maybe it's only a weekend trip, but some of us need OPTIONS!! HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag.
Truly all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny.
Psst — just note that airlines will still enforce weight limits , so don't fly TOO close to the sun packing these up!! Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.97 . 18.
A shaker of Thin Mint seasoning you need to buy as a favor to all your taste buds immediately. Allow me to paint a picture for you: Thin Mint coffee, Thin Mint pudding, Thin Mint popcorn, Thin Mint anything your dessert gremlin heart desires. I stared at this for months online before caving and buying it, and when I tell you!! It jazzes up my morning coffee in a way that makes my little '90s baby heart sing.
I've also loved it on Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and mug cakes. Plus, when I am feeling lonely for a real Thin Mint, and we're not in Girl Scout cookie season, I'll shake this on an Oreo Thin to stave off the despair. Get it from Amazon for $4.
98 (and try their s'mores seasoning blend, too!). 19. Hair Chemist's Sleek Spray , a humidity-resistant styling spray to help minimize frizz in humid climates and boost shine.
If you're hooked on the $28 Color Wow Dream Coat that's been blowing up TikTok the past few years, you might want to try out this cheaper alternative! Promising review: "I have very wavy hair that doesn't like humidity. It frizzes and tries to re-wave itself whenever I've straightened and gone out in the humidity . I tested this out on a 10 minute walk this morning with my dog in 97% humidity and there was very minimal fly aways and very minimal, almost non-existent waves.
This product is super lightweight and doesn't make my hair greasy, which I'm prone to . I'd rate this 10 stars if I could! The smell is nice, too." — Jaime Get it from Amazon for $13.

This is about to earn a top spot on your "going out tops" rankings. Promising review : "I absolutely love this top! It is stretchy, the color is exactly what it looked like online, and it’s super comfy . I love that I can push the shoulder straps down for an off-the-shoulder look to make it more elegant with a skirt or even wear it with shorts.
It isn’t see-through at all! The fit is great because it stretches, so it has a range within the size. It’s not super thick, but definitely not thin or see-through." — Kendra Get it from Amazon for $21.
99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 11 colors). 22. A lightweight zip-up bomber jacket you'll be so glad you invested in on days when layering is *key* — this is so versatile that it won't disrupt the flow of your outfits, and so cozy that you'll be excited for an excuse to throw it on when the temps drop.
Promising review: "This is possibly the best jacket ever! Fabric is super soft, and I think the fit is true to size . I got the champagne color and I absolutely love it . It will go with everything and has a fabulous soft sheen.
I’ve been wanting a bomber, and I’m heading to New York in a few days, and bought this to take as my main jacket. I think it will go with jeans, skirt, jumpsuit, dress, pretty much everything I’m packing! Love, love, love!" — Jennifer Jenson Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in women's sizes S–XXL and 18 styles, including quilted versions).

Promising review: "What a difference these have made in my life. With my allergies, it was impossible to enjoy a glass or two of wine without nasty side effects: stuffy nose, red face, and headaches. Now, I can have a glass of wine and not have to dart to a package of antihistamines! Makes a great gift.
Even thinking of splitting a box into stocking stuffers. Each wand is individually wrapped. Have purchased these several times and will continue to do so.
" — KellyH Get a set of three from Amazon for $11.99 . 24.
A Lululemon-adjacent lightweight backpack so waterproof that it's a *must-buy* for frequent travelers or anyone with chaotic commutes.

Promising review: "My backpack is absolutely essential for getting through my work day.
It fits everything I need, from my laptop and charger to notebooks, pens, and even a snack or two. The compartments keep everything organized, so I’m never scrambling to find what I need. It’s comfortable to wear, even when fully loaded, making my commute a breeze.
Honestly, I can't imagine my workday without it!" — kody craig Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in two sizes and 16 colors). 25.
A PopLite personal popcorn maker with a built-in serving bowl that will give you eight cups of movie theater-quality popcorn in two mere mortal minutes.

LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets.
Promising review : “LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at, and launder extremely well.
I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ” — Shannon Warfel Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in sizes Twin—California King, with deep pockets, and in 37 styles). 28.

The cube provides slight resistance when compressed, which is both stress-relieving and satisfying!!! Once squeezed, it quickly returns to its natural shape.

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. Promising review : "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" — Cristina Bertolotto Get it from Amazon for $19.
95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). 31. A set of deep set heart-shaped salad plates because sometimes the way to your heart is through a BIG OL' Caesar salad loaded with whatever flavor of crouton Trader Joe's came up with this week.

I also love that its pedestal minimizes the space it takes up on the counter. I wasn't sure about whether I would like that it is plastic but now consider it a big plus. It keeps the bowl lightweight (but it is still sturdy) and makes it easy to clean.
I highly recommend this fruit bowl. I couldn't be more pleased with mine. " — Opinion o'Jen Get it from Amazon for $19.
98 (available in four colors). 33. A set of Sea Bands , which target an acupressure point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea — a must-have for summer traveling if you get motion sick on long car rides, cruises, buses, and trains.

So, I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. I have suffered for decades, and now I know better.
I will never travel without mine again!" — 1SmartCookie Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.85 . 34.

Reviewers especially love this for their Kindles when they're trying to read at the beach or the pool! Check out a TikTok of the phone umbrella in action. Promising review: "I got this little umbrella because I'm always outside for work, and the sun shines bright. I always have to put information in my phone for work and sometimes I can’t step to the shade to do so.

(I own these and am personally *obsessed* with how they add a sweet, sophisticated touch to an outfit, and how ~expensive~ it feels.) These are a holy grail tank top for me — I bought a set on a total whim and loved them so much on the first wear that I immediately bought more. The quality of the fit and fabric is up there with Skims and Aritzia's, to the point where I keep double-taking at the price point .
The straps are also fully adjustable for a perfect fit, to the point where I don't need to bother with a bra (but def do need to bother with my beloved silicone Nippies lololol). I got it in the waist-length so I could tuck it into pants and skirts, and I cannot recommend them enough — I've already washed one of them a bunch of times and it's holding up beautifully.

99 (available in sizes XS–XL, cropped or waist-length, and 15 sets). 38. A set of reusable Gripstic bag sealers , which are sticks that clamp over open snack bags to make sure they're genuinely sealed and airtight.
(We cannot risk letting our beloved Cheez-Its get stale!!) These also save a lot of space compared to regular chip clips, and are safer considering there isn't a spring that could either wear out or break on you in the middle of sealing something. 😬 Gripstic is a small business that specializes in reusable chip clips. Promising review: "I'm a stickler about stale chips and have always used those little snapping clips.
I thought they worked pretty well, but they really don't compare to Gripsticks. The snack that proved this the most was Pirate's Booty. If these are exposed to air for more than three minutes, they turn into styrofoam peanuts .
I promise they're just as fresh as when you first open them with Gripsticks. They're going to be my go-to chip clips moving forward. " — Rachel Campbell Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $23.

Promising review: "Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget.
I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating.
This is programmable for three settings, and I use it on the minimal movement, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" — Isaiah Get it from Amazon for $7.25 .
41. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper to make you feel like a golden god in your kitchen — this gadget lets you julienne, chop, spiralize, and slice vegetables in an instant and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess.

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 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.
We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container. " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.

This sticks right into your phone plug and chills there so easily that you might forget it's there in the first place, and it's designed to quickly give your phone one full charge. Promising review: "I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station.
