Claw clip ponytails for a quick hairstyle, desk bikes for exercising while you work, and shower cleaners that require NO scrubbing. Heck yes.

Promising reviews: "I got this product about three months ago and haven’t had to scrub my shower since! I just use this every week and rinse it off. It’s life changing!!" —Linds

"I hardly ever leave a review, but this stuff is amazing. I regretted getting glass shower doors until I got this stuff. Sprayed it on and waited overnight. All I had to do was spray the glass down, and it looked the same as the day it was installed. All of the soap scum was completely gone without scrubbing. Will be buying again." —Rebecca Hash

A plus is that this baby can slice through a potato, BUT remember how sharp that means it is, and BE CAREFUL touching the blades! You'll get four different blades, including a small dicer, a large dicer, a spiral blade, and a ribbon blade.

Fullstar is a small biz that specializes in kitchen gadgets.

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "This chopper has given me back so much time over the holidays and at all meal prep. Need a chopped onion? Cut one in half, add it to the chopper, press down, and voila! You now have a chopped onion. It works for carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, anything you need to chop, slice, ribbon, or julienne. The blades are extremely sharp and have remained so after a year of heavy use. The kit comes with cleaning tools, so when you chop celery or herbs, cleaning everything out of the crevices is easy.

Thanksgiving was a real test for this, but I got all the prep done chop-chop! (See what I did there?)" —Janeen Brinkley

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in five other styles and five colors/styles). 

Promising review: "I wash my dog every 3–4 weeks. She’s an active dog and usually starts to have an off-putting scent after a week or so. I started using this in between baths. It masks any odor and keeps her smelling fresh. I 100% recommend this to anyone with a dog." —Mike M

Get it from Amazon for $5.75 (also available in multipacks).

This is also height-adjustable and has "whisper-quiet" pedaling, eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, RPM, and other stats.

Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok to see it in action.

Promising review: "Have had this product about a week now. Absolutely love it, what a game changer!! As a consultant who lives a typical consulting life, I pretty much sit at a computer all day. Even though I work a lot remotely, I barely leave my desk. After a while, you will start to suffer from all the same common things as everyone else: back pain, neck pain, you know, all those things. Those all got changed when I saw this product! To be honest, I didn't buy it right away because of the price, of course. But I finally decided to make the purchase as a holiday gift to myself. And I am so glad I made this choice! It hasn't been long, but I've been using it every day. It was super easy to put together, and easy to move around because of the wheels. You can totally work while using it. The best part is, YOU DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WORKING OUT. And somehow it helps you to concentrate better. There is no need to dedicate one hour to the gym; this could be an anytime thing. When you are working, watching shows, or even playing games. I guess because of the working out, my sleep improves as well. Not to mention the back pain. All in all, this thing changed my life!!" —joshua0315

Check out a TikTok of the automatic pan stirrer whisking up a sauce.

Promising review: "Sometimes when cooking, you need more than two hands. When I first saw the Automatic Pan Stirrer with timer, I thought it was a great idea but probably wouldn't work. Much to to the family's surprise and delight, not only did the Automatic Pan Stirrer and timer work, but it worked well. So much so, that we purchased another Automatic Pan Stirrer for a friend. When in doubt...try it out!" —Look-Around-Linda

Oh, and each stamp will last you up to 12 days!

Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they’d work, but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light, but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting, but they do the job." —Janet

Saucemoto is a small biz founded in 2017.

OK, besties, so I have not stopped bragging about my little chicky nuggy dip clip since I got it Christmas 2021. This is by far one of my favorite things I've ever received. I LOVE chicken nuggets. I wanna be a chicken nugget, but I did not like trying to dunk my nuggets while in the car. This thing is so convenient for days that I don't have much time to eat, and just have to grab something quick and keep going. Get yourself one if you're nugget-obsessed and overly busy like me; everyone who's seen it in my car has gotten one for themselves and not regretted it!

Promising review: "This is the greatest invention. I’m in my car a lot, and anytime I order any fast food, I always have to order dip, doesn’t matter what I’m eating. This thing came in handy not only for me, but for my son, too. Perfect for me, because it comes with two holders, and I like at least two dips at a time. I know I’m making this out to sound like it’s a billion-dollar invention, but I just love it. It’s a very handy thing to have in your car. I’m forever spilling my sauces all over the place because there is nowhere to put them, and then I saw this and knew I just had to try it. It’s a total game-changer in my car. Thanks to whoever invented this. It’s GREAT!!" —Denise

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors and four- and six-packs).

Promising review: "I have only used this vacuum/mop twice, but I'm already loving it. I have had a Shark vacuum in the past, and this is so much better and far exceeds my expectations! The cleanliness level is top notch. The brushes are longer and can get into the corners and under furniture. The mop pads clean themselves in the base! So no handling gross mop pads and cleaning them by hand. The noise level is very quiet while running, and when it goes back to the base it makes very minimal noise. The quality is top notch. I have four dogs and it picks up all the dust, dirt, and dog hair. I highly recommend this vacuum/mop!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $399.49+ (available in two colors and versions).

Promising review: "Comfortable and stylish. The velcro holds tight no matter what you are doing. Easily adjustable from ankle to wrist, and I have thick ankles. I put them on in the morning and wear them while doing regular household chores. Easy way to get a light workout without knowing it." —Nancy Ball

Get a set from Amazon for $55+ (available in 1-, 2-, 3-pound weights, and seven colors).

Check out BuzzFeed's full Instant Pot review.

Promising review: "This little appliance helps expand our menu, and I have learned to do so much with it. I love how easy it is and how I throw everything in, and it comes out done. No stirring and not many messy dishes. I still don't love it for meats, but I think that's just a matter of needing to experiment more with them. I seriously can't believe how many foods can be cooked in here! And I only have ONE thing to clean afterward. Since I usually don't have to do many dishes with the Instant Pot, I tend to enjoy experimenting. My family is constantly surprised at how much this has changed how we eat." —Aundrea

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three sizes).

Mouthwatchers is a small biz established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

Promising reviews: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard; those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN

"The only toothbrush you will ever need. Love these toothbrushes. Be gentle when brushing, the bristles reach everywhere." —db

Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based small biz that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.

Promising review: "How did I live without these? Since I began working from home, these sheets are the best. They keep you accountable and I can go back to see what I accomplished each day, since you have to report your daily tasks. About to order more...thanks for making life easier! —Pame66

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in monthly and weekly versions, and eight styles).

You can use this to brew hot coffee and cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, adding hot or cold water, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe. 

Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." —Alex Bonick

Get it from Amazon for $44.95 (available in two styles and a four-pack). 

Promising review: "I will never buy another coffee again. I am obsessed with this delicious simplicity. I love the number of coffees I get out of one bottle. I used to drink expensive energy drinks or buy coffee at the local coffee shops, but never again." —Jamila Parker

Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in five flavors). 

Promising review: "We took the Downy Wrinkle Guard spray for our 14-day cruise and to our disbelief all of our clothing looked as sharp as the day that we packed our luggage. A light spray on the wrinkled area, slide your hand over, and the wrinkle is gone. Great product!" —Albert Zayas

Check out a TikTok of the outlet timer in action. 

Promising review: "I was looking for a better countdown timer to turn off corded entertainment devices after I fall asleep. The one I've been using has small buttons and a LCD display. Although any countdown time can be set on it, the display is hard to see in low lighting. This BN-LINK has larger buttons and knowing their order allows me to select a preset time in the dark. Yes, not infinitely flexible, but 15 and 30 minutes, plus 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours is close enough for my needs." —Picky Consumer 01

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "This is quite possibly my favorite hair accessory ever. I've had it a couple of months now and washed it a few times, and it's still held up beautifully.

It's so easy and instantly has me feeling like a mystical genie, instead of sporting my 4-inch sprout of a ponytail. LOL.

The claw clip is a perfect size, so I can swing my head around and it won't budge. It's amazing for when I'm nearing the end of the week before wash day, and any time I get a compliment on it, I have to blurt out 'IT'S NOT REAL, IT'S JUST A CLIP, ISN'T THAT COOL?'" —Tess Mohundro

Get it from Walmart for $4.37+ (originally $6.69+; available in six shades).

Promising review: "Wow! What an awesome product! I was really skeptical, but it worked exactly like it said it would. Such a time saver! After setting off Angry Mama, it literally took me two minutes to clean off the interior of my microwave. Best gadget under $10 I’ve ever bought. I’m so excited!" —ElementaryScTeacher

This includes a laptop tray equipped with nylon straps to keep your laptop secure. It's also portable in case you ever wanted to use it at a gym.

Promising review: "Excellent alternative to sitting on the couch watching Netflix or scanning social media. Now I still do that, but I am walking while watching." —Maria

EZ Bombs is a small biz that specializes in different cooking bombs like pozole, tinga, and, of course, birria!

Okay, so to use these, grab a chuck roast (up to four pounds), cut it into chunks, add four cups of water (some reviewers use broth instead), and toss one of these babies in. Let it cook *in my GloRilla voice* (cook time will depend on how you cook it), and then add it to your tacos, quesadillas, burritos, ramen, nachos, taquitos, whatever you want! The bombs contain a blend of 13 different spices and chiles like arbol, guajillo, and ancho.

Here are the cooking times for different ways of cooking — pressure cooker: an hour and 45 minutes, slow cooker: six hours on high or eight hours on low, stovetop: three hours on low heat *or* until fork tender.

Promising review: "This seasoning has been a game-changer for my quesabirrias. I used it with chuck roast, and the results were incredible — full of bold, authentic flavor. It’s incredibly simple to use, and the seasoning blend does all the heavy lifting. Definitely worth keeping stocked for quick, flavorful meals." —Ruby Vizuet

See why BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Heather Braga loves it: "The number one item I simply could not live without is the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Literally I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life over the last few years.

It’s essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It has the capability of mixing formula with the proper amount of water and dispensing it at the *perfect* temperature for baby. It has a button on it so I can easily choose how many ounces I want for a bottle, depending on how recently the baby has eaten sometimes we need only need 2 oz instead of 4 oz, etc. The bottle settings will stay in place so while my baby is screaming (she gets hangry!) I just have to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the 'start' button. It’s so easy I can literally do it with one hand while holding her. 

The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I just do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needs to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I have to do is ensure the formula container is filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we don’t have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen while bleary-eyed and half asleep in the middle of the night. It really is a godsend, and I don’t know what I’d do without it!"

Promising review: "Wow, color me impressed! I was hesitant to buy this because, most of the time, anytime a celeb or influencer comes out with their own line of anything, it's mediocre nonsense. But I was swayed after reading the reviews. I had grey hair in the past and used Overtone and another big brand name that you can get at Ulta (I can't remember the brand), and they did an okay job at helping me keep the grey in between salon toner visits. I just recently went back to grey again, and this time, I thought I'd try this one to help between salon visits. Applying it was easy, and I left it on for 20 minutes. As soon as I started washing it out, I was EXTREMELY surprised by just how darn soft my hair was! It's not lying when it calls itself a mask because it rivaled my other hair masks in my bathroom. Better than my Sol de Janeiro mask and better than my Coco & Eve mask. I also noticed that it wasn't straining my bathtub or tiles nor making a big purple mess, which was not the case in the past with other purple 'pigment depositing' grey hair masks. Overall, I'm SO pleased! Brad really pulled it off. Not only is the color output very much like it advertises it will give, but it's not lying when it says it's a nourishing hair mask. Cheers to Brad Mondo!" —Dana

Promising review: "Do you hate having to dust around things? I know I do. This glove is ideal — you can just wipe away dust while easily maneuvering around odds and ends in your way. Because it’s your own hand inside the glove it’s also easy to maneuver over oddly shaped things like silk plants or blinds. I absolutely recommend this!" —Katherine Wise

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

Promising reviews: "I'm going to give you guys a real honest review. I bought it because why not? I tried a patch test on my shin on November 30. Today is December 30, and I still have no hair. Get it. If it's sitting in your cart, get it. If you are afraid of hair removal creams like I was, try a small patch first and be prepared to be impressed. Hit buy now." —Gary R.

"Works like a dream. It takes me 30 minutes to cover all the areas I need, and after five minutes with the product on all the hair, it just comes off. No terrible smell, no burning, and leaves my skin looking like I got a wax!" —Booboo

Promising review: "I gotta admit, I was skeptical. There are items just like this on the market that are triple the price. My makeup brushes have two years worth of caked-on crap, so I thought, no way this $16 gem would work. WRONG!!! I am actually shocked at how well this thing worked. I did have to go back through and scrub by hand but it’s not this cleaner's fault — two years of left-on makeup is my fault. I cannot believe that my foundation brush is white again like the day I bought it and not just a soft beige from washing it by hand. BUY THIS CONTRAPTION — it’s amazing." —sumnerls

Bloom is a small biz that specializes in all kinds of planners.

Promising review: "I literally cannot brag on this enough. It’s cute and so functional. It has a split down the middle, so whenever you get ready to go shopping, you just tear off the side for the shopping and go! It’s so easy!! Plus, the magnets on the back are sturdy enough to have it on your fridge door, and it won’t fall off every time someone accidentally slams the door." —Caitlyn McTier

Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in one other style for meal planning and three other kinds of planners).

Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." —Meghan

Promising review: "Yes, I did it. I bought the TikTok blender and don't regret it one bit. I can create any smoothie I want, from healthy to dessert shakes for the kids. So easy to use, charge and clean. It's a must-buy!!!" —Debby from Warren

Get it from Amazon for $35.80+ (available in four colors).

It's perfect for thin to medium hair and blends most seamlessly with hair that is past the shoulders.

Promising review: "They feel and look amazing. The extensions have great thickness, and I am beyond impressed by how incredible they feel! Super lightweight, and doesn’t bother my scalp after wearing all day long. I 100% recommend this for people who want to add length and volume to their hair with a quick and easy installation process." —Mikayla

Get them from Luxy Hair for $250+ (available in 12"–20" and 27 colors).

Promising review: "Saw this on TikTok. Had to try it. LOVE IT. So fast and easy. Washes easily and we just lay it out to dry. But we have also put it in the dishwasher too. Saves us so much time and no more almost slicing fingers cutting tiny tomatoes. Wish I’d had this when the kids were tiny and I needed to cut their grapes. Would’ve saved me time." —Mermaid

Promising review: "I started off on the Spectra and got exhausted by my exposed nipples while driving/working, and really wanted an option for pumping on the go. After much Instagram 'research', I sunk my FSA on a Willow 360. Milk everywhere but inside the expensive bags. Even when I did get it set up just right, getting the milk out of the bags and the amount it got out made me feel like I completely wasted my money, and more importantly, pumping time. I finally asked Paula Norcott of Maine Mother Company for advice on what to do. She recommended the BabyBuddha wearable. Life changing. No stupid bags. No spills. All the right settings to actually get milk out. No discomfort. Easy to clean. It’s not quite as 'sleek' as the Willow under my shirt, but the extra centimeter of bulk is so worth it. It’s as good at milk removal as the traditional mega Spectra machine, and it has strong suction that, even with the softest, loose nursing bra, I can bend to unload the dishwasher or be on the go without issues. ❤️❤️❤️" —Angie

This baby can air fry, bake, broil, toast, and reheat, all controlled from your smartphone. They also offer an oven-ready meal subscription! Perfect if you don't have much time to grocery shop or cook. 

Promising review: "I love my oven and the meal kits you can subscribe to from Tovala. The oven is so convenient and easy to use, the app for it contains a database of scannable grocery items that you can quickly cook with just the barcode scanner feature, no need to program times and temperatures. That said, you can still program times and temperatures either using the front panel of the oven, or by programming a recipe in the app. The app gives you notifications when the food is done cooking so I don’t miss out on a tiny little ‘beep’ as my only notice that I need to act. The oven stops cooking automatically at the end of its cycle, no worry about leaving the oven on after you use it. The meal kit subscription that Tovala offers is great too, the meat always comes out perfectly cooked!" —John

Promising review: "This vest is so functional and cute!! It was also way more comfortable than I expected. Easy to adjust to fit just right, and I love that it has pockets. Super convenient for my phone and keys. It's completely upgraded my morning walks, and I'll even throw it on around the house just to get a little extra in. Highly recommend!" —Sophie G.
