Promising review: "It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I'm happy and I think I may get some as gifts. They're easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes." —Amazon Customer 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 $9.97 (also available in other scents and in packs of two). Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful, charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet onto them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, now my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." —Renee Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "For demographic purposes: Female, 33-years-old. I've only been using this for four days and can see a slight difference in the appearance of my cellulite. I have a deep dimple in my left butt cheek and I can already tell that it's shrinking and smoothing out. I've used very expensive creams, oils, and lotions but after four days I already see more results with this product. To make it even better, the scent is amazing! I use it all over because it makes my skin so soft even the next day." —ChelseaK "I'm not sure what I love more the moisturizing or the scent and I did see a noticeable difference in my skin. This is now a must-have product for me!" —Rachel Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in four sizes and in bundle packs). Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like mine." —LuckLocust Promising review: "I love this clock so much! The numbers are huge, and it looks very sleek and modern. We have it in our large family room, and you can see the time from across the room." —Alex Fair Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (available in four colors/styles). It's suitable for all hair types! Reviewers with everything from straight, fine hair to thick, curly hair said it worked for them. Check out a TikTok of the serum in action. 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 $18.99+ (available in two sizes and five other formulas). Tech8 USA is a small biz based in Austin, Texas. Promising review: "A *must* if you're a remote worker. Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three styles). Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." —Aerebys Stare Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $12.34). Promising review: "I don't like to wear a ton of makeup, so this is a game changer! I have hereditary under-eye bags. This goes on so easily and you only need a little dab and it makes a world of difference! Brighter eyes, and doesn't sit in creases. AND it's cheap!! Can't get much better than that! Must have!" —Cassie Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). Promising review: "This is so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece so no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily — it is honestly a game changer for my cooking game! And it is fun and cute, which makes me want to use it more! Will be getting these for stocking stuffers for all my adult kids this year for the holidays — definitely one of those things they didn't know they need!!" —Llamazon Customer Space Age Snacks is a small business that specializes in small batch freeze-dried candy. Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Skittles normally taste alright, but having them freeze-dried really made the flavors POP, and genuinely I feel like they had more flavor than normal Skittles. (Then again, that might just be my head playing it up knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.) Very delicious." —John Blake Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (and check out the rest of their freeze-dried candy for more options!). Promising review: "So SO CUUUTE! 10/10!! Good product and keeps my straw from getting bugs or germs on it! Plus, it’s really cute." —JennA Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in three other styles). Read more about migraine treatments at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I have suffered from migraines my entire life and I’m almost 50 years old. As soon as I put this pack on my head I instantly felt relief from the five-day barometric pressure migraine I’ve had. The soft design was really nice and I love that it covered my whole head and was easy to put on. I recommend waiting a few minutes after taking it out of the freezer because it was really cold." —T. The kit has everything you need: a sushi bazooka, two sushi mats, a sushi knife and cutting mold, an avocado tool, five pairs of chopsticks, four chopstick holders, a rice paddle and spreader, two sauce dishes, and a silicone oil brush. It also comes with the molds and rollers needed to make all kinds of sushi, including temaki, gunkan, nigiri, musubi, and sushi balls. Promising review: "I have wanted to learn to make sushi at home for quite some time but was unsure what it entailed. This kit is complete and so easy to use that I was able to make great sushi the first time I tried it. The instructions are easy to understand. The inclusion of the cutting guide for the finished sushi roll allows you to produce beautiful and appealing sushi. The bazooka took a couple of tries to get the correct amount of rice, but it worked like a charm. I would suggest checking online for directions on preparing the rice properly, but otherwise, the included directions were complete. I loved this kit so much I am considering buying additional ones to give my family as gifts." —Denis Bekaert Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $26.59). Promising review: "Best kitchen/hand towels I have found on Amazon yet. I get so many compliments on these!! Just bought some for my sister and mom, they love them so much. Soft and absorbent, just the right thickness, has some wear and tear after just a couple of months, but we use them daily and have washed and dried them a lot. Definitely worth the price." —Caitlin Get a set of four from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five color combos). Promising review: "Absolutely love this candle warmer lamp! The design is sleek and modern, making it a beautiful addition to my home decor. It gently melts my candles from the top down, releasing fragrance evenly without any smoke or open flame — so much safer than traditional burning. The dimmable feature allows me to adjust the brightness, creating the perfect cozy ambiance. Plus, it helps my candles last much longer! If you’re looking for a stylish and efficient way to enjoy your favorite scents, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!" —Hartley Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in seven styles and as a set of two). Promising review: "I bought this for my husband who has very stained teeth regardless of how often he brushed! Blame the coffee and genetics. WHATEVER. These results are 30 minutes apart. He was skeptical but it WORKS! Would buy over and over again. I’m sold. Will definitely purchase when this runs out!" —Jessica Grant Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.25+ (also available in packs of four or individually). iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." Promising review: "I love LOVE these headphones. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, the sound is great, and the noise cancellation is good too. I even wore these on an airplane for three hours and they cancelled out the plane noise and I was able to watch shows on my tablet with really good sound. Battery life is awesome too. Highly recommend!." —Nicole Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors). It's great for many skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination! It's recommended that you do a patch test 24–48 hours before applying this all over your face, as it's a strong, concentrated formula. After that, apply three to five drops once daily and follow with a moisturizer (ideally one with SPF if you apply in the morning!). Though the bottle looks small, reviewers say it'll last you several months with daily use. Promising reviews: "Best $20 ever spent!!! The results are unbelievable. I was a bit skeptical because all the reviews were from Caucasian women, and I was slightly worried that my skin would not respond as well, but I was quite mistaken. With or without makeup, my skin is bright and smooth, and my spots are disappearing. One other result I am sure a number of people have not noticed is that your palms get softer too; I guess the residue on the palms makes it soft and supple." —Mayowa O Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $19.99; available in two sizes). BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga is the proud owner of this book: "I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." As the parent of a 1-year-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I'm a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages are. I was so excited to read this lil' biography with my son and teach him a little more about someone I adore. (Which it does a great job of doing in a pared-down way!) It's a short book, looks cute on my desk, and is a hit for bedtime story time. What more could you want???" Get it from Amazon for $4.35 or Bookshop for $5.58. Promising review: "I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.39+ (available in five colors and as a two-pack). The metal on the comb is anti-rust and easy to clean, and comes with a protective cover for maximum hygiene. Promising review: "As a pro makeup artist, this is an excellent tool to have in my kit. Excellent for removing mascara clumps." —Lady Marina Get it from Amazon for $4.49 (available in various styles and bundle packs). Promising review: "Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" —Awesome Taste Promising review: "I’ve never been a journal or diary person, but needed an outlet for my anxiety and stress. Each day has the same two-page spread that prompts you to think about your day, how you felt, and why you felt that way. There isn’t really any inspiration or advice, just open lines for your thoughts without it being an intimidating blank page. This journal has already helped me see patterns in my thoughts/emotions and I feel better overall. I would recommend this journal to anyone." —Kari Madsen Promising review: "Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite Youtubers try it out. I didn't expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn't sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don't remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone." —Phil Textor Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" —Katie B. Get a set of four from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in three styles and also in sets of two or six). 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, will def try the others!" —Kristy Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in other styles). Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" —Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in nine colors/patterns). Check out a TikTok of the Cinnadust in action. Promising review: "I love this stuff. It tastes just like the cereal and I use it on anything I can i.e. coffee, cereal, toast, pancakes, yogurt, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, pumpkin, cranberries, bananas – anything!" —Marie Grey Get it from Amazon for $3.99 (also available in a pack of four). There are 100 puzzles total, and four different levels: For Elementary puzzles, you need to find the suspect, location, and weapon. For Occult Medium puzzles, the added challenge is that the murderer always lies, and the other suspects tell the truth! For Hard Boiled puzzles, you also need to find motive! And for Impossible puzzles, you have to discover all four elements and deal with the lying witness statement from the murderer. Sounds like fun! Plus, you're also given a logic grid for each puzzle to help you solve it! Promising reviews: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for a while!" —Liz Gately "MURDLE is quite possibly the coolest and most fun I have had with logic puzzles in a while. It activates my inner J.B. Fletcher as my mind compiles the clues and sleuths out the answers. The various levels of intrigue allow the amateur sleuth in us all to develop into a top-notch armchair detective. I cannot think of a better way to spend a rainy, sunny, and/or any day than with a little crime-solving." —Highly Caffeinated Book Reviewer And if (when) you end up needing more puzzles, don't worry — there are three volumes already, plus bonus books. There's also Murdle Jr. for Kids! Promising review: "I love this product. I had grown weary with my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." —Danyelle Brazell Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $8.99 (available in clear or black, and in a multicolor pack). Blossom is a small biz that makes beauty products. Promising review: "Absolutely love this cuticle oil. I operate heavy machinery for a living, and even wear gloves all the time, my hands, especially cuticles, dry out and crack and hurt. This oil only takes a little to go a long way. I got the 🍍 and it smells great. Most importantly I have noticed a change in just a few short days. I first found out about the product because my nail salon uses it for every mani!" —Alicia S. Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in two sizes and a variety of scents). If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use and read more about cervical traction at Cleveland Clinic. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower can vouch for this: "After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture." Promising review: "I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer, especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." —Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors/styles). Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" —Karen Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in nine sizes and 19 colors/patterns). The top layer is made of absorbent PU leather, so you can simply rinse or wipe it clean! It also has an anti-skid rubber backing to prevent sliding. Promising reviews: "I like that I can wipe this mat with a wet cloth. It’s water resistant, durable, and pretty!" —Miss Dee "I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." —Nana M. Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four sizes and nine colors/styles). This USB-powered lamp comes with a 5-foot cord and a standard E27 bulb! Natural Inspired Finds is a small business based in the UK that specializes in handcrafted home decor items. Promising review: "This lamp is utterly beautiful! Very well crafted and totally a talking point with friends. It has a lovely ambient light. And it is sooooo cute that you can fold it over and it looks like a picture album or book. Surprise! I absolutely love it. I highly recommend this seller. They really know their crafting game." —Belinda Wilson from Natural Inspired Finds on Etsy for $51.76+ (originally $73.95+; also available with a dimmable bulb and a wall charger). Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. Promising review: "I enjoy having a scented candle burning in my house. But I don’t like heavy, floral scents, so finding the perfect scent is difficult. This scent is perfect. It doesn’t slap you in the face, it doesn’t cling to your clothes and hair hours after leaving the house. This candle is warm, inviting, and elegant." —Micknan Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in six sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). Promising review: "I absolutely adore these!!! They are so cute and definitely do the job! They keep the surface free from water rings and make me giggle!" —Johnny Williams Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.99. Handy Cute Art is a Miami-based small business. Promising review: "Such a cute little item. Giving this to my friend for her birthday. It's one of those things you didn't know you needed 'til you see it." —Theresa Jenkins Get six magnets from Handy Cute Art on Etsy for $14. BuzzFeeder Emma Lord had this to say: "I love love love this lip balm. I compare it to the $24 version from Summer Fridays, which I've been splurging on — I love that brand because it lasts so long and is so high quality, but this $4 E.l.f. version feels comparable and, more excitingly, comes in smaller versions so I can stock my totes and bathroom with them whether I'm at home or on the go. It's hydrating, lightweight, doesn't get sticky, and adds a perfect ~subtle~ gloss whether I'm using it alone or on top of a lip color. I love the vanilla flavor so much, it's got a similar vibe to the birthday cake flavor that Glossier sometimes carries." Promising review: "I have one in my car, one in my purse, and one at home. These just feel so good on your lips! The flavors are very true to their name. They are pretty small though, so if you use it often it won’t last long (which is another reason I have three of them), but for $4 each it is worth it. I sometimes like using this before putting on the E.l.f. Lip Reviver Oil. Such a great base to an awesome lip oil!" —Jax Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in five flavors). Fomin is a small business that specializes in plastic-free household essentials. Promising review: "I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it’s so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." —woolymammoth Get 300 sheets from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five styles and also in packs of two and individually).
