“Whoa” = the face I made when I saw these tiny glass caterpillars, cleaning before and afters, and beauty must-haves.

I'm a mom, Senior Editor on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, and BuzzFeeder since 2015, and am constantly on the lookout for smart, genuinely effective problem-solvers, especially anything cleaning, home, parenting, fashion, and skincare related.

Sometimes when you're shopping around, you see things that you need to think about before you buy. Not so with this list — whether it's a delightfully fun item like a dogs-and-cakes puzzle or an undeniably practical must-have like the tool that'll show your driveway's weeds the door, everything here is worth an immediate *add to cart*. 

It's 1000 pieces. Since you asked, yes, they do have a Cat Person puzzle if that's meow-re your speed. 

Piecework Puzzles is a small woman-owned business — they make all kinds of beautifully shot, high-quality puzzles. 

Reviewers say it does have an intense smell if you're sensitive to that sort of thing. It also sanitizes and disinfects without bleach, though you do have to rinse any food-contact surfaces (like cutting boards) you use it on.

Promising review: "Where has this been my whole adult life? Best cleaner I've ever used. Cuts through rust stains on cement walls. Cuts heavy old grease on any surface. I cleaned my green, moldy-looking outside lawn furniture, and it came out sparkling clean with almost no effort. Spray it on, let it sit, spray it off with a water hose." —Deborah Lucas

Promising review: "This is the best nail polish I’ve ever used! I’m a nurse, so I wash my hands A LOT. Normally, I have to paint my nails every two days because they chip so easily. This polish lasted six days! Including two 12-hour shifts! Not a single chip! Plus, it goes on so nicely. Definitely would recommend." —Jenn P

Get it from Amazon for $12.50 (also available in several other shades)

Love this idea, but not the floral version? The listing has nine options, including vanilla, chai, peppermint, and cardamom! 

Portland Syrups is a small business that concots tasty syrups, soda alternatives, and premium cocktail mixers. 

Promising review: "This is an all-natural lavender syrup. It is not overly sweet, and it is of great quality. It is a beautiful color. I used to make cucumber vodka, lemonade, and lavender martinis. It was mild and such a beautiful color!" —Sherry M

"Absolutely THE BEST lavender I have ever had, and this even beats my favorite local coffee shop’s lavender! I wanted this to make cold foam lavender lattes, and this is a winner. No heavy-medicinal perfumey taste. Just a genuine soft lavender. I used approximately two tablespoons and added to oat milk, then frothed with just a handheld. Perfect every time." —Mrs L

Promising review: "I finally gave up and bought a charging station for several devices. I travel a lot, and taking turns charging my iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch was annoying, especially if the room had a limited number of outlets and I was not the only one who needed to charge all of them ASAP — plus, hauling all of the cords. Ugh. Hooray, I'm hustle-free now. It comes with one fold-up station, one cord, and one nob for three devices that charge simultaneously. It works with my iPhone 12 Pro Max from 2020, Apple Watch Series 6 from 2020, and AirPods Pro (2nd generation) from 2022 without issues. I am more than satisfied with the purchase." —Sneaky Pete

Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in six colors). 

If flowers aren't your thing, the listing has animal, bird, and autumn versions, too!

Need paints? Get a well-reviewed Grabie set of 50 watercolors and 6 brushes for $19.99. 

Promising reviews: "Charming little book that is perfect for this beginner. It was well described and delivered on what it described. Very happy with this purchase." —Amazon Customer

"I gave these as presents to an 8- and 10-year-old, and they loved them. The outline of the picture to be painted is perfect, and the instructions are very easy to understand. The only thing I would add is to try the paint color on a separate sheet of paper before coloring the book." —Renee Gardner

Promising review: "Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of Kleenex. But otherwise, it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I’ve used MAC and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two sizes and matte, dewy, or plump finishes). 

Because it fits over your car's seat belt holster, it moves along with your seat as you adjust it — which means you can stuff it in and forget about it, at least until it saves some popcorn from disappearing into the abyss.

Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car, and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this." —Tessa Forbes

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $24.99.

Get it from Anthropologie for $16 (available in two styles). 

My review: The magic of chemistry! When I initially tested it on a small section of caulk (pictured above), the mold completely vanished in just two hours. Application is as easy as using a bottle of elementary school liquid glue. Err on the side of laying it down thickly, so it covers every little bit of the mold on the caulk — you can see a few tiny spots in the after photo that didn't get covered. Not surprisingly, they disappeared when I touched them up, and I finished bleaching the rest of the mold with flawless results. 

Yes, it contains bleach, but because it doesn't run at all, I find it easier to use without accidentally staining my clothes than other bleach products. Though I still wear an old t-shirt to be safe! As long as I run the bathroom fan, it doesn't smell too fume-y. 

Some reviewers report needing to let it sit for four to five hours (or even overnight) for full effect, but the results are still worth it. It likely depends on your grout, humidity, and how thickly you apply it. 

Promising review: "New way to organize your silverware that has a sleek design. TikTok made me buy this! It's a perfect design to not have as much clutter in your drawer. Great to see exactly what silverware is in which slot with the tiny pictures indicating a knife, a spoon, and a fork!" —Haley Lutz

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes). They also make even more types of these organizers; check those out at the Joseph Joseph Amazon store! 

Watch this TikTok of the egg cracker to see how quick it is! 

Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 3 colors). 

You can also get other coordinating accessories, like a matching suction-cup tray/shelf and squiggly bathtub mats in the Humelsjön and Gansjön lines! 

Promising review: "I love this item! I thought it was for foaming hand soap, but it actually dispenses just the right amount of regular liquid hand soap with a light push. Perfect for kids' bathrooms as it is cute and accessible. Could do with a set of eye decals." —Beth

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl 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 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!" —SimpleStyleMe

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

As with all things body-related, everyone's body is different, so it may or may not work for you — but for $12, IMO the 13,000 five-star ratings make this worth a try. Take a pic on the first day you use it so you can tell if there's difference after a few months! 

Promising reviews: "Absolute sorcery. I have sagging skin at the jawline from weight loss. This stuff has absolutely helped! I’m really impressed. Has smoothed out the crepe paper look. Try it!" —S. Livingston

"My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It’s not only soothing, but it also feels like it’s really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It’s become a must-have in my skincare routine." —JAcosta

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

And it's more reusable than foil! It comes with five little slice-shaped plates, which you can stack in the container when you put your 'za away. Then when it's time to eat those leftovers, put the whole container in the microwave to reheat it all at once! 

Promising review: "I've been using the same pizza slice storage boxes for years. They took up a lot of room in kitchen cabinet and didn't always stay tightly closed. I saw this product on Shark Tank and *really* wanted to try it! I prefer to reheat pizza in a toaster oven instead of a microwave, so I will never use the plates as anything but separators. With that said, I like this a lot, it takes up less room (whether in the refrigerator or in cabinet) and works nicely." —S. D. Bower

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in eight colors and various multi-packs). 

Glaze Heart Studio is an Ohio-based small business that specializes in lil tiny glass creatures (including the caterpillar who eats one apple on Monday), plants, and holiday decor just like these. 

Promising review: "My caterpillar is precious. Immediately upon receiving him, I ordered him a friend." —Lily

Get it from Glaze Heart Studio on Etsy for $5.99+ (available with or without a separate small glass leaf). 

Technically, you can let this sit anywhere from two hours to overnight to get results. And while you might have to do *some* light scrubbing, it should be much easier than it would've been without this cleaner! Don't forget to spray it on the racks too (unless your racks have a coating on 'em).

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! Spray it on, let it sit overnight and wipe it out. Looks brand new. I honestly didn’t think this was possible. The grates had years of cooked-on grease, sprayed right off in the sink. Can’t wait to try it on the BBQ." —Kalub hall

Yep, several reviewers say they fit in drawers! They're a little over two inches tall, so measure your drawer first. 

Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and six colors). 

Like all "active" skincare ingredients (retinols, Vitamin C, AHA/BHA), patch-test a small amount for a few days to ensure your skin tolerates it, and avoid stacking multiple actives in one day. Don't forget your daily sunscreen, either — while it's a must anyway, it's extra important when using potent skincare like this. 

It's a small bottle, but you'll only need a few drops a day, so reviewers say it lasts for months. 

Promising reviews: "Obsessed. Magic in a bottle pretty much. It’s amazing how this very fair-priced product is genuinely effective almost overnight. Have you ever had a product that you applied and took a nap and woke up and you could genuinely see the difference? no, without a doubt, THIS IS IT? Yeah this one is it. I wash my skin and apply it on fresh skin then give it a few seconds to seep in then apply a moisturizer on top. It’s a good product when you buy a second bottle before you finish the first one out of fear haha!" —Anna Vuitton

"I should have started using this years ago! I’m in my mid-30s, and I’ve tried everything, including much more expensive brands, Korean skincare, Japanese skincare, etc., but I’ve always had breakouts and problems with texture. This is by far the best vitamin C product I’ve tried. I’ve tried multiple vitamin C serums in the past, but they always broke me out or had a slimy or gritty texture. This serum has a smooth texture, soaks in quickly, does not pill with other products, and has noticeably cleared up my skin." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Does a FANTASTIC job if used regularly. I love this product. I hate cleaning tubs. This product has made our tubs look new. I don't use it every shower...maybe every third. Just spray down everything after the shower, and forget about it. You DO need to rinse tub before the next shower due to product making it slick. The fumes of other cleaners always messed with my asthma. I have noticed that for some reason with this one, I sneeze twice, because I have to spray shower doors while I'm still in the shower...but it never affects my lungs. I would recommend this to EVERYONE!" —Angela GIllaird

Get enough to last 12 weeks from Amazon for $19.98.

Promising review: "I was so excited to turn this lamp on that I placed it on my couch instead of making room on my shelves. The lightweight lamp is funky, and the fun pop of orange adds character to my living room. It’s always a cozy night in with this lamp. A great find to start your lamp collection or add to your existing one." —dana

Get it from Amazon for $45.95 (available in four colors).

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! 

Promising reviews: "I have tried everything to fix my damaged, bleached hair that keeps breaking off. I stumbled across this on TikTok. I had never heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I used it for the first time yesterday and I couldn't believe how amazing it made my hair feel and look. It's sooo soft, shiny, bouncy and nourished. My bleached rat's nest now looks and feels like hair again. I’ve been really frustrated about my hair for years now because of all the damage. Now I can finally relax and enjoy my new hair." —Eline

"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Promising review: "I've been searching for something to remove the weeds for a while and came across this amazing tool. Since I refuse to use chemicals in my yard, I've been left with scraped knuckles every time I attempt to remove weeds. The weeds have grown so tightly in the concrete cracks that I pretty much gave up; even weed-whacking it didn't help much. Yes, you do have to use a little bit of effort but the end result was so worth it!" —Shelley Arakaki

See a TikTok review of the shaver here! The brand recommends stretching your skin with one hand, laying the blade flat, and then shaving against the grain. 

Promising review: "I tell everyone about this! No nicks, cuts, or razor bumps! The battery life is surprisingly long, too! I use this ALL over my body. Trust me when I tell you it saves you time and pain compared to a normal razor!! Seriously, never going back to a plastic one after this!" —Holly

Promising review: "Sparkling and beautiful. I bought these to hang in my kitchen window, and they are perfect. The sun hits the crystals, and it creates a beautiful shine and radiance. I've received lots of compliments. Nice buy!" —Alicia Burciaga

Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. 

Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this: "I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves!"

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

Promising review: "I'm impressed with the quality of these pens. The 0.5mm fine point delivers a super smooth writing experience, and the ink dries quickly, leaving clean, neat lines. The barrel is also very comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. The retro colors are a stylish bonus. Highly recommend!" —Marie70

Get a set of five from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in other styles and different pack sizes).

Promising reviews: "I read about this product on BuzzFeed quite a while ago. I was intrigued, but not convinced, so I saved it for another day. Ever since I had my kids, my once great skin started giving me issues (acne, dry spots, tightness, oiliness, etc). I've tried a LOT of products (including prescription), but none would "even out" the dryness and oiliness simultaneously...until now! Honestly, the texture is a little gross (kinda slimy), but it didn't have any scent, and it basically just soaks into your skin without a trace. I've noticed that both the dryness and excessive oiliness are no longer major issues, and my pores have also started looking less noticeable. For the price, I will definitely continue using!" —Stacey S.

"I love this! TikTok made me buy it. Use after toner and before moisturizer. Helps lock in moisture and keep skin hydrated. Apply to damp face and let it absorb a minute before your favorite moisturizer. Works well with any type of skincare you normally use." —Auka Nayokpuk

Promising review: "I’m pleased with the length and how easy it was to adjust and install. The pieces feel solid and not easily broken." —AHMH
