I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Promising review: "My kids LOVE using these to hold their condiments for dipping. They hate when their veggies roll into their ketchup, or their fruit rolls into their ranch on their plates. These cute cups solve that problem beautifully! Easy to rinse off and toss in the top rack of the dishwasher after meals are over." —FNO

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $9.99.

These are designed for children ages 9 months to 4 years (up to 44 pounds).

Oftentimes, I have myself a stage five clinger, and let me tell you, those 25 pounds start feeling realllyyyyy heavy after walking around for 20+ minutes. This is amazing because it holds them up from their butt to help take some of the weight off my hip, so I am not doing that awkward side bend trying to stick my hip out for more support. It's super easy for my daughter to get in and out of, so when she starts squirming to get down, I can get her out, and then when she inevitably wants to get back up like five minutes later, I can do that too.

Promising review: "It's beautiful and easy to use. I loved everything about it, and I loved the handwritten letter even more. It made me say, 'Awww!' It made me feel so close to the brand. That's highly appreciated. I loved it. And the baby carrier is excellent. It significantly reduces the baby's weight and makes walking with a baby on your hips easier. It's saved me a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you." —Sofia S.

Check out why this TikToker is loving it.

Promising review: "This stuff is like pure magic!!!! And for $26, I feel like this bottle is massive. Plus, when you use it to shave literally anywhere, a little goes a very long way, so this bottle will definitely last me a long time! The scent is immaculate — smells so good I could eat it! It's also super moisturizing, and I’ve noticed that since using it, I’ve had a lot fewer razor bumps on my inner thighs! I use it to shave everywhere, not just the “coochie!” —Summer Rogers

Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in four sizes).

Check out a TikTok of the Tumella Umbrella in action.

Promising review: "Why would anyone want to purchase another umbrella with the warranty this one gives? Not like you will need the warranty with this build quality. Almost every umbrella I have owned has five, maybe six, thin metal rods held together with a tiny pin to form the frame. This thing has reinforced ribs, is as light as you can get, looks great, and is all at a low price. Yeah, this is all I need." —E. Smoker

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in 26 colors/styles and packs of two or three).

Check out a TikTok of the gaming pillow in action. 

Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and there are little pockets for things like your cell phone or the remote. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield

Get it from Amazon for $49.79+ (available in two sizes and two colors). 

Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love these. I saw these on TikTok and bought them. I will be buying more. They are great for my face. Really soft and VERY durable and strong, even when wet. You can wash your face with it or just dry your face, either way, it’s the best option." —Sahara

Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in larger quantities).

BuzzFeed Contributor Jordan Grigsby has this and says, "I hate taking pictures so freaking much. I always look absolutely terrible, like, is it the lighting? The angle? Do my friends hate me and take ugly pics of me on purpose? AM I UGLY?! Well, I knew the last question just couldn't be true, so the second this popped up on my FYP, I knew I had to have it. I haven't gotten to use it because it's just too dang cold in Maryland, and I refuse to leave my house, but I have tested it myself, and I know this is gonna come in clutch. I'm excited to see myself and make sure I like how I'm posed, don't look awkward, and that my face is relaxed. It'll be nearly impossible to take a bad pic if I can see myself, right? Plus, it'll help me relax and feel more confident in front of the camera if I can see what my photos are looking like. Prepare to be sick of me, my pics are about to eat as I do at Korean BBQ. I personally have a MagSafe phone case, but it comes with a magnetic sheet that'll allow the screen to attach to your phone so you'll be able to use it with or without a MagSafe case."

Promising review: "I do not know how I lived without them. I have saved a bunch on unnecessary alterations." —Gerald Voigt

Promising review: "There are the best things ever. I have jeans that fit great, but the waist is always too loose. So I saw these on TikTok and was so curious to see if they worked. But seriously, you need to buy these, the buttons are great material and just the most useful things overall." —Alexa Botello

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in a variety of styles and quantities).

Promising review: "These work very well to dampen the sounds of my annoying roommates slamming cabinet doors at all hours of the day. Just make sure you're wiping down the part of the cabinet they'll stick to before applying them. The adhesive is good and should hold for a while." —LMA

Get a sheet of 100 from Amazon for $7.99.

Just connect it to your smartphone for access to your music, messages, map navigation, and more. It features a 4K front camera, a night-vision backup camera, a collision-sensor function, a parking-monitor function, and is suitable for most vehicles.

Promising reviews: "This device has transformed my low-tech minivan into a modern-day people mover! Playing music and using the navigation make it a more enjoyable experience. Easy to install, impossible to be without once you start using it. Having the dashcam is also a huge value add. So glad I purchased this!" —Stycky

"Great screen! Easily installed in my Honda Pilot; truly plug-and-play. Love having a dashcam incorporated into this, and the backup camera even has freakin NIGHT VISION?!? Voice control works great, even at highway speeds. Awesome item. Planning on getting one for my kids, too." —ellen fisher

Get it from Amazon for $94.99+ (available in two sizes).

Check out a TikTok of the acne-banishing body spray in action. 

Promising review: "This body spray has helped clear up stubborn back and shoulder breakouts better than anything I’ve tried. The 360-degree spray makes it super easy to apply, even to hard-to-reach spots. It dries quickly, doesn’t stain clothes, and has a clean finish. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, I saw smoother skin and fewer breakouts. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with body acne." —Rosiemelisa

Here's Sohla El-Waylly talking on TikTok about keeping these in her bag to fix restaurant tables!

Promising review: "How did I not know about these? I replaced three toilets in my house last year, and I procrastinated for months! about having to kneel down on the floor and make so many tedious little adjustments and cuts just to get the shims right. Then I saw these one day and decided to try them! I got the soft ones, so they wouldn't crack or break if I tried to jam them in too hard, and they have been wonderful! I know, I know... Who waxes poetic about toilet shims, but seriously, these are so worth the money. They are barely noticeable, and there are enough in there that you will find yourself going around your place 'fixing' every chair or table leg that has ever wobbled just because you can. I am 50+ yrs old and have had a lot of 'wobbly' furniture (and toilets) in my time, and with these snazzy little gems, I just know my life is about to be so much more 'stable.' :)" —MJH

Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in six, 75, or 300-packs).

The water-resistant light comes with a replaceable lithium battery.

Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision isn't as sharp, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni

Get it from Amazon for $5.26 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy, and the normal size of a magic eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne

Get a device and two refills from Amazon for $13.58 (also available in other pack configurations).

Promising review: "This product is a good solution for extending an electrical outlet located behind furniture. It also provides two USB ports. The base can move vertically and horizontally to accommodate your needs easily." —njmissj

Promising review: "I LOVE this suction backing, it is perfect for all my content creation needs. The suction is great, and it sticks to my phone. I can place it almost anywhere, and it does better than any tripod! I saw someone else showcasing it on TikTok, and I added it to my cart right away!! Highly recommend!" —Chelsea Patterson

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 15 colors).

The set comes with locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys.

I've seen a lot of stuff that says it's better not to lock your kiddo out of every cabinet because they should be able to explore, but in some cases, that is just not possible. We have a cabinet full of cleaning supplies, cat food, and other things we can't move but do not want her getting into. These have been great because, just looking, you wouldn't know that they are locked, so my whole house isn't covered in ugly locks. Aside from the aesthetics, it's also great because my daughter doesn't go up and try to mess with any locks on the outside. 

Promising review: "These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push-down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby, and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds; the bracket means they line up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals, and I put one on the trash door so the dog stays out of the trash, so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on, so when my kids are bigger, we can flip the switch, but if little kids were visiting, we could put them back on." —Joseph J. Krakker

Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $28.49 (also available in 15, 30, and 48-packs).

Promising review: "These soft socks are like walking on clouds! I put them on and instantly felt the warm, cuddly comfort — they’re so soft, I never want to take them off. Perfect for chilly mornings or lounging around the house, they make me feel like I’m wrapped in a hug. The best part? They’re super cute and come in fun colors and patterns that add a little extra personality to my outfit. Whether I’m relaxing with a book, watching my favorite show, or just need some serious comfort, these socks are my new go-to. If you love feeling cozy and want to add a splash of fun to your sock drawer, these are a total must-have. Soft, stylish, and oh-so-snuggly!" —Shannon

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles, five colors, and multipacks). 

Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys, and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" —Brianna

Get it from Amazon for $44.95+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

Promising reviews: "I took my standard clip off and put this one on, and was immediately 10x more comfortable! It’s so lightweight, doesn’t hurt while driving or lying down, and holds all of my super thick hair in place! I wish I could give it 10 stars! Definitely buying more!" —Nicole Godbey

"SO COMFORTABLE! I can’t recommend this enough. I love it. It’s durable and comfortable. AND it’s safe to wear when driving! I’ve heard horror stories of women getting plastic prongs stuck in their scalp when getting into a car accident, which is what made me buy this! Ditch your fully plastic hair claws!!" —Rory

Promising review: "I am so glad I ordered this privacy screen. It is perfect, easy on the eyes, and aesthetically pleasing. My partner could not see my screen while seated next to me, which I was thankful for since I was finishing up some last-minute Christmas shopping." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99+ (available for iPhone 14 Plus–iPhone 17 Pro Max).

The album can hold between 20 and 60 pages and has 10 cover colors and three title embossing foils to choose from. 

Promising review: "The quality is better than I thought it would be! It was so easy to create and didn’t take too long to ship to me! I got it for my boyfriend for our anniversary, and he loves it. It’s a fun way to capture memories and a really amazing gift that is so personalized. I’ll definitely order more in the future!" —spenfold19g

Get it from Artifact Uprising for $45+ (available in a variety of styles and sizes).

Promising review: "This gadget is amazing. All my kids (ages 5-8) are having fun snapping pictures of items and repeating words, not even realizing they are learning a language. It is such a cool idea that I want to get one for myself and try to learn a new language. Can’t wait to see future updates, and how the platform progresses." —sd.Murphy

Get it from Dex for $249 (available in two colors).

Reviewers also love using it to help kids relax.

Promising review: "This little cloud guy is adorable and squishy! His face is very sweet, and the color morphing is great. I really like it’s calming, and even if you don’t use it for meditation, it’s a cute night-light." —RgHound

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in three other shapes/styles).

Promising review: "This pill organizer is very handy because it allows you to set up your pill regimen for an entire month. The fact that each little container is separate is nice because you can take it with you or set it on the table to help you remember to take your pills. This works well for a friend who has early dementia, so he remembers to take all his medications. Very handy." —Mardi

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 

Tip: Run warm water over the mold when taking the ice out. Let it thaw for about 5–10 minutes, and the ice ring will pop right out.

Promising review: "This ice mold is a must-have for any host. It’s a simple addition to any event that just takes it to another level. There are endless ways to create a look that matches any occasion. I can’t wait to get creative with each use. Easy to use and it actually works, keeping your wine or champagne chilled while out! The ice bucket doesn’t display the company’s name, which I like. All my guests love it, and compliments flow just like the wine!" —El Water Pumps
