As a BuzzFeed Shopping editor, my goal is to find all the products actually worth buying.

Say what you will about TikTok, but their users find some seriously cool stuff! You can find suggestions for new card games, toys for antsy kids, and beauty products that aren't quite viral yet. 

Promising review: "This is a great game to play with all ages. We played it at Thanksgiving. The 7-year-old won. All answers are yes or no, and it was very educational for all of us. It was a lot of fun. We’ll be playing it again. It was fun for the whole family." —Christine R.

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in movie and geography versions).

Promising review: "I would give this more stars if I could. I have two little dogs, one of which has severe anxiety. Constantly worried about something, can't settle down, whines and wanders a lot. Then I got this magical product, and he is almost a brand new dog! I fill this amazing bowl up once in the morning and once in the evening with a blend of no-sodium chicken broth and senior wet dog food, and he is in heaven! Not only does he immediately go to work when the bowl is full, but now, instead of pacing and whining, he frequently goes to his new licking bowl and licks at it even when there is nothing in it. This magical bowl scratches an itch in him that he has been trying to find for 13 years. I cannot say enough good things about this product! THANK YOU!" —Sunshine L Strong

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors).

You'll get one of seven designs. Also, you'll need a 1GB–128GB TF memory card, since one is not included in the package. See it in action on TikTok. 

Promising review: "It's such a fun and simple design that you really will be taking photos of everything with it when you first get it." —Hannah Vo

Promising reviews: "I've been looking for a cream that can calm my sensitive skin while also improving texture and elasticity, and I'm so glad I found this one. The texture is absolutely perfect. It's smooth and slightly rich, but not heavy at all. It melts into the skin beautifully and creates a nice protective layer without feeling greasy. After using it consistently for a few days, I started noticing a real difference in my skin texture. My skin looked smoother and had a healthy, natural glow. It also does a great job at keeping my skin hydrated overnight, so I wake up with soft, plump skin in the morning. I would definitely repurchase!" —Min Hyong

"Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Got this for post-laser procedure treatment, and my skin loves this! Highly moisturizing and calming. Provides a cooling effect. Not super thick and makes the skin feel super soothed while healing! Love this stuff, will absolutely use post treatments." —BMW Lover

Promising review: "This has been a huge hit. The modular design is clever and lets you swap activities in and out, which keeps it feeling fresh instead of becoming just another toy. The buttons, dials, and textures are satisfying and well-made, and everything feels durable enough to handle regular toddler use. It’s great for independent play and also works well in the car or at restaurants because it’s compact and self-contained. We’ve noticed it really encourages fine motor skills and curiosity — lots of turning, pressing, sliding, and problem-solving. Definitely worth it." —Jeff W.

I absolutely love Gemi hand sanitizers! The scent is strong, but not overpowering. All the fragrances are light, powdery, and pleasant. I also love that the bottles have a frosted look. Just an all-around classy hand sanitizer! The fine mist is nice, but because it's so light, you have to spray your whole hand instead of just one spot that you can spread around. 

Promising review: "No hand sanitizer has come close to Gemi. It actually makes me want to go out of my way to sanitize my hands. I genuinely don't understand why anyone would go back to Touchland, or anything else after trying Gemi. It doesn't even compare!!" —Ann

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four scents and also multipacks). 

Promising review: "I'm not one to write reviews; however, this small cooler/lunch box deserves one. It's totally worth paying the extra money. I filled it up with sushi rolls for a concert, and it stayed very cold for over 10 hours. The cold packs I placed inside were still frozen after all that time! It is also roomy, a nice soft material, and very stylish, and the shoulder strap option makes it more functional. I love it!" —Leticia Hampton

Get it from Amazon for $75+ (available in three sizes and 16 colors).

One bag makes 15 servings. Just mix the powder with hot water, then add that to your mixer of choice, like milk, seltzer, or lemonade. It also comes in vanilla, original, collagen, and sugar-free versions.

Promising review: "Omggggg, I never thought in a million years that I would ever be drinking matcha, let alone ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with it now. This strawberry matcha tea is absolutely delicious, it's bursting with strawberry flavor, and so rich and smooth. It only took two teaspoons to get such a rich burst of flavor. I DEFINITELY WILL be buying this matcha tea and this brand again!!" —Nancy Lee

Promising review: "I got these knives on sale for a great price. I wasn't sure what to expect. They are incredibly sharp! I love that they are different colors. It makes chopping things a lot more enjoyable! We have a garden and I can grow a lot of food, so I am constantly using knives to chop things. These have made it so much easier to chop buckets of food and store it for later! Even the scissors are really sharp and do a great job. These have made canning and putting up our food from the garden so much easier! Thank you for making good quality knives affordable!!!" —Misty Young

Get a set of six knives (and scissors) from Amazon for $19.99.

The holders come with sticky backs that stick to flat surfaces. Check out a TikTok of the silicone holders in action. 

Promising review: "We used to keep all of our toothbrushes in a mason jar. This way it saves more spaces and eliminates accidental use of someone else’s toothbrush. (YUCK!) They hold the toothbrushes well, look decent, and are very functional." —Jacques S. 

Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.49 (available in five colors and color combos). 

This stuff is STRONG, so make sure you do a spot test first — especially if you have sensitive skin. Learn more about these wipes on TikTok.

Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat. I was sweating through my shirt on my back — BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $19.97.

Promising review: "I am a skincare snob. I spend way too much money on products. But over the last couple of years, I’ve been trying to find a new moisturizer with SPF that doesn’t bankrupt me. I need something that can help my dry skin, protect from the sun, and not irritate my sensitive skin. I was skeptical about this product, never having heard of the brand, but I gave it a try. I am SO thrilled with the results. This moisturizer is BETTER than the $55 alternative I have been using. It moisturizes like a dream. It doesn’t pill. And my sensitive skin loves it. I am THRILLED with my purchase and will definitely be back for more!" —R. Berry

Check out a TikTok of the Shiseido Clear Sunscreen Stick in action.

Promising review: "I have tried so many stick sunscreens, and this one is my favorite. The formula glides smoothly and feels light. I’ve had no issues reapplying on top of makeup either. The small size means I can carry it in my purse to reapply easily." —NessyHui

Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $33+ (available in two sizes). 

Quitch is a small business founded by moms. Learn more about these patches on TikTok. 

Promising review: "I was honestly skeptical about buying these. My son (15 months) is too little for Benadryl or any anti-itch cream, so I bought them for our upcoming camping trip to try. Little did I know, they would come in handy sooner! My son got bitten by a mosquito near his eye. This caused major swelling and irritation. As mentioned, he’s too little for medicine. I put a patch on, and the results speak for themselves. I’m amazed, and they helped my son not scratch the area. They’re so little and super sticky, he doesn’t even notice it’s on. I added a photo of the patch about five hours after application, and you can see how full it is. I will definitely be purchasing again!" —Sierra

Get a 27-pack from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in packs of 36 and 81).

Promising review: "Wow, I am blown away at how well this machine worked! It took the sofa my dog uses from being trash-worthy to looking nearly brand new! I wasn’t sure how well this would work on this extremely old and dingy sofa at first, but was amazed instantly at how well the cleaners and brushes on the heads removed the tough stains, and the vacuum just sucked the rest right up, leaving my dog's sofa the cleanest it has ever been! I highly, highly recommend this product to anyone with pets who get into furniture, children who make messes, and for everyday life!" —T

Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in three different sets). 

Promising review: "This is one of the coolest board games I’ve gotten for my family. My family and I play this every night and spend hours using it. It is very entertaining and fun, but be careful not to lose the ball, because it is very small. I recommend you buy this now; it's the most fun game of all time." —Jose M.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "I can’t express how impressed I am with this probe. From the packaging to the probe, everything is top quality. The charging block keeps you informed, and the Wi-Fi app allows you to monitor from anywhere. Setup is extremely easy, and the app works flawlessly. It not only gives you recipes, but you can choose the type of meat/fish/etc, and how well you want it cooked, and it will tell you what temp to cook at and for how long. You can also choose how you cook, ie, smoker, grill, oven, etc. It gives you real-time temps and time to finish that is accurate. Everything I have cooked with this in my smoker has come out perfectly. It even accounts for meat rest times. I will definitely be buying more as gifts and will buy additional probes for myself. Highly recommend, this company did everything right. I definitely don’t often rave about products, but this one is worth it." —Zach

Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in sets up to four).

Promising review: "These pens are so darn cute. The lava is so adorable, and the scent is just enough. Not too strong. The pen writes really well too." —Shopper Girl

Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two styles and two pack sizes).

Promising review: "My baby really likes this teething toy and reaches for it often. It’s easy to hold and seems to help with teething. The material feels safe and soft, and it’s easy to clean and durable. Definitely a good buy." —luis

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four colors).

The kit comes with five lighting elements. The finished product can open like a book so you can admire all the details. See the booknook in action on TikTok. 

Promising review: 'OMG! This is every puzzle person’s dream. I finished it in one (very long) session and loved every minute of it. The instructions are very easy to follow. There were extra pieces included. It’s absolutely adorable! I want all of their booknooks." —Rachel

I know this thing is spendy, but I regret to inform you it's absolutely worth it. It solves every annoying problem that comes with a traditional umbrella. First of all, it takes literally less than five minutes to set up and break down. You need two people to do it, but it's so easy, you don't even need the instructions. Once it's up, it provides A TON of shade but doesn't overly obscure the view of the people behind you. Even the tiniest hint of a breeze will get the fabric moving, and it flutters in the wind kind of like a flag — it's pretty relaxing to watch! Thanks to the front weight, there's no fear of it blowing away in the wind and impaling someone. If there's truly no breeze, there are additional weights you can attach to the back to create a tent-like structure. When you're done, you can just shove it back into the bag without any strategic folding. This thing is a game changer if you hate setting up beach umbrellas or tents! 

Get it from Amazon for $305 or Shibumi for $215+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).

Check out the full explainer on TikTok. Heads up: As far as bug sprays go, the CDC only recommends formulas with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, PMD, and 2-undecanone, so I don't recommend using this in super buggy areas. That said, based on the reviews, you should probably be covered for casual picnics and backyard hangs. 

Promising review: "We live in an area heavily populated by mosquitoes, and this keeps them from biting better than actual bug spray. I purchased several cans of Off spray bug repellent for myself and my husband this summer, and bought this to use for my young kiddos because I figured it would be safer. My mom used this on me in the '90s, and I remember it working like a charm. After a few hours spent outside on the 4th of July, I had 32 mosquito bites on my legs. I sprayed myself with Off four times throughout those hours because I kept feeling them bite me. My kids were unscathed. I believe my oldest walked away with only one bite on his back, which would've been under his shirt, where I did not spray. A week later, my husband and I spent some time outside in the evening on our hammock. He used Off, and I used this. He had several bites while I had one or two new ones. I think that says it all. Yes, the scent hasn't changed, and it still smells like the '90s; it also still has an oily feel to it. But it's worth it!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "My 6-year-old absolutely loved this 3D sticker maker! It was a fun, easy activity that kept her entertained and let her be creative. She had a blast designing and making her own stickers and was so excited to use them when they were finished. The kit was simple enough for her to do with very little help, and the stickers turned out really cute. I love activities like this that encourage creativity and imagination rather than just another toy. Overall, it was a big hit in our house, and I would definitely recommend it for kids who enjoy arts and crafts." —Jessica

Promising review: "I purchased it six months ago for my granddaughter for Christmas, and I had to get myself one. We had so much fun designing our nails for the holidays. They are water-based. I would highly recommend putting a layer of clear nail polish over the nail. You will love these and so will your child." —WorldShopper
