49 Fun, Random Things To Buy For Yourself

1. The TikTok-beloved Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, because people love it for providing *serious*  (and quick-absorbing!) hydration without feeling heavy or greasy aaaaand for the ahh-mazing smell that's drawing comparisons to pricey brands (hello Philosophy "Warm Cashmere" and Bath & Body Works "Vanilla Noel).

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 $8.98.  

2. A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charging station perfect for at home or traveling, so you can charge your iPhone, Apple watch, and AirPods all at once, without wasting space on bulky chargers or dealing with tons of cords. One reviewer compares this under-$40 wonder to the almost-$150(!) Mophie charger and say it's just as good *and* more attractive!

Promising review: "This is my new favorite travel gadget! Super compact and sleek, so far no issues with charging my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, and performance remains consistent. This charger has eliminated at least two additional cords and I deeply appreciate not having to shuffle chargers around when packing for travel. The charging light has an on/off feature by the watch pad, so I'm able to keep it on the bedside table at night without a bright green light shining in my face. It's also hard to overlook when packing back up to leave a hotel, which might be the second most important feature! Overall a great value for the money and such a great tool for staying organized during travel." —Cassandra

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in five colors). 

3. A set of cloud-shaped bath bombs that leave a rainbow trail when they fizz up in the water, taking your next bathtime from Dorothy-in-sepia-toned-Kansas to full-blown Oz Technicolor! And btw, they're formulated with coconut oil for moisture and scented with plant-based fragrances (the pack includes blueberry, pineapple, peach, and passionfruit)!

Promising review: "These are the best bath bombs I've ever found for kids!!!! The colors are so bright and fun! They last a long time in the bath and hardly change the color which makes me feel like it's more safe. The scent is very subtle as well, which is great! The kids have so much fun in the bath with these!" —Abbey Rose

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four-packs and three other styles). 

4. A pickle wine stopper, because why the heck not?! Forget crumbly corks and protect your leftover vino in a way that'll put a smile on your face every time you use it. And hey, when it comes to hostess gifts, this is a big ~dill~.

Promising review: "I bought this pickle wine stopper for my nephew and his partner. It keeps air out of the bottle with a snug fit and it cleans up easily after use. The fact that they love 'pickle' anything is an added bonus!" —Cynthia

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (shop Friend & Friends other wine stopper styles here).

5. A Michael Scott/Prison Mike reversible dishwasher magnet to keep the whole household in the loop as to whether the dishes are clean (so keep those used dishes OUT) or dirty. Because emptying the dishwasher and coming across a food-crusted plate that was just put in there makes me want to say, "I hate so much about the things you choose to be."

Check out a TikTok of the Michael Scott dishwasher magnet in action. 

Promising review: "My whole family is a fan of The Office, so when I was searching for a magnet we could use on our dishwasher, this was the hands-down winner. Does it go with my farmhouse decor? Nope, not at all. But it does get the attention of two teenage boys. Had I gone with something a bit more my decor style, I can guarantee you it would not be as useful. I mean, we all would much rather see Prison Mike staring back at us than suit and tie Michael Scott, right? And there is only one way for that to happen...clean out the dishwasher!" —R. Funk

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

6. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker capable of transforming any frozen fruit into an ice cream-like treat with ease. Also easy? All the removable parts are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup too! This is a great option for people with dietary restrictions or anyone who LOVES super fruity desserts — I'll take a strawberry-banana ice cream, please!

Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It's easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

Get it from Amazon for $35.70.

7. A racerback bodysuit in a second skin-like fabric (called Smoke Cloud) reviewers compare to Skims and love for being buttery soft and *not* see through. And once you fall in love with this sleeveless style, don't worry, it comes in tons of sleeve lengths and necklines!

And btw, reviewers say the double lining in the torso is supportive, so they don't need to wear a bra. 

Promising review: "I mean I have Skims bodies and this is better by a lot. The fabric is super smooth and not translucent at all, and the size chart is for real people so medium is actually a medium. I could buy 100 more. Great product." —naty

Promising review: "I have purchased bodysuits before that claim to be like skims, but when I tried them the quality was really poor or cheap. I was really skeptical about trying these bodysuits, but it far exceeded my expectations. The quality is great; it's super stretchy and buttery soft. It definitely gives that Skims look for an affordable price." —Tiffany Johnson

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS-3X and 16 colors). It's also available in a long-sleeve style, and check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric here.

8. A sardine-themed cosmetics case (complete with pop-top detail!) for tinned fish enthusiasts who want to organize their beauty supplies at home or while traveling while showing their love for the polarizing food. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Sturdy, high-quality stitching and printing. Purchased this as a gift (as part of a gift basket of conservas) and it fit perfectly." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in five colors).

9. A set of Crayola Globbles that'll relieve hours of boredom — kids love to toss these at the walls and ceiling to watch the colorful spheres stick and unstick. But fret not: reviewers say they actually don't leave residue behind! 

Check out a TikTok of the Globbles in action. 

Promising review: "Bought a six-pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could. The inside looks something like shaving cream and didn't smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69. 

10. A set of shower steamers in a variety of scents so you can customize your bathing experience for the time of day and what you're feeling like. Opt for energizing citrus or awakening coffee for morning showers, calming lavender right before bed, and eucalyptus when you need a little refresh. There are six different blends to choose from!

Just place one on your shower floor (not directly under the water), and it'll activate when splashed, releasing a delicious scent. 

Promising review: "I kept seeing this product pop up on TikTok so I decided to buy a pack and I'm SO GLAD I DID! These smell so good and are a perfect way to relax while in the shower. I now recommend them to everyone I know!" —Merry

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $14.97. 

11. A sweet face vase capable of turning even the most inexpensive grocery store bouquet into a stunning centerpiece you'll gaze at adoringly all day long. And it's just as lovely as a pretty pen cup for your desk or even empty as an ~objet d'art~ on your bookshelves!

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Check out a TikTok of the face vase in action. 

Here's BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord: "I purchased this because I have a lil' Friday tradition of going to Trader Joe's and buying the $3.99 "petite bouquets" (Alexa, play "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus!!) and it is the absolute perfect size for a mini bouquet. It is a treat to look at on my windowsill, 11/10 recommend for anyone who wants a bright spot in their living room!"

Promising review: "Hi! I absolutely love this thing! Her face is so peaceful and sweet and the pose is so thoughtful. It looks absolutely great with any type of flower or flower mix. Each different arrangement looks different so it's always fun and new. I love it as decor, even without flowers. I get a smile every time I look at it." —Booyeah21

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three poses; you can also get a set of all three for $36.99).

12. A nourishing Jelly Lip Melt from beloved K-beauty brand TonyMoly — it may look like a mini vintage Jell-O mold, but it's actually a moisturizing lip treatment (some reviewers find it comparable it to the cult-fave Laneige mask and say it stays on even longer!) with a gorgeously glossy finish and available in scrumptious flavors like lychee, blackberry, passionfruit, watermelon, toasted coconut, and more!

Amazon

Promising review: "If you like the Laneige lip sleeping mask, then get this. In my opinion, this lip melt works even better and stays on my lips way longer! Whenever I used the Laneige mask before bed, I would always wake up feeling like it had all rubbed off and my lips would feel a little dry, but also kinda sticky somehow. With this lip melt, I wake up still feeling like I have the product on my lips, and they feel smooth and hydrated. I also prefer the texture of this lip melt more, and a little product also goes a long way." —Caimish

Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in four flavors). 

13. A "flossing" toothbrush with extra soft bristles in two layers that are super thin at the tip (as thin as a human hair) and designed to reach places other toothbrushes might not. Especially when paired with actual flossing, reviewers say they're left with a "fresh from the dentist" clean!

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Here's BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord: "I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."

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

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90. 

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

14. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence that may seem like it would give you the ick, but is totally worth adding to your routine. No snail-like results here: Just pat it in the evening, and you'll be appreciating the moisture boost right away. Reviewers say it helps with acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and even eczema!

I loooove this essence for whenever I need an added boost of soothing hydration. It absorbs into the skin beautifully!

Promising review: "I caved to the TikTok hype and now I am obsessed, lol! I have extremely sensitive skin but this was the first product that I didn't have to go through a 'getting used to' phase." —Shelby

Promising review: "Game changer. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but it has literally changed my skin!! The first time I used it, my skin felt tighter and more balanced. A week later, 2x a day, my skin is so much brighter. Better texture and even coloring. Pores seem tighter. Not a single pimple since. It looks so healthy. Whatever magic this is, it works better than any expensive designer skin lab crap that I've tried." —Np

Get it from Amazon for $17. 

15. An elegant switch plate cover to give your home a bit more of that custom feel in just a couple of minutes. Fair warning: after you buy one, you'll want to swap all of your switch plate covers.

Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store. I bought the switch plate, outlet plates, and even a blank plate to cover an old electrical box left behind by DIRECTV." —Karebow

Get it from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in six finishes). 

16. A Sol de Janeiro fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68, which reviewers say has a similar smell to the very luxurious and oh-so popular Baccarat Rouge 540 — but in a lighter, body spray version with notes of jasmine, hibiscus, and sun musk. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I finally received my new body spray yesterday and was in complete shock at the resemblance to Baccarat Rouge 540. This body spray is so delicious. It is definitely a Baccarat Rouge 540 [alternative]. There were so many reviews that said how much this body spray resembled the very pricey perfume, and they were all correct. I absolutely love Baccarat Rouge 540, but it so expensive compared to other perfumes like Chanel, so I opt not to purchase it regularly. This body spray is a wonderful substitute for overpriced perfume. Today will be my first day for wearing the spray, so hopefully, it has great longevity throughout the day as well. 🤞🏼 Regardless, I would still purchase it again moving forward." —Tina

Get it from Amazon for $38.

17. A flying orb that magically floats or boomerangs back and forth, depending on how it's thrown, all while flashing colorful lights. And it fully charges in just 20 minutes!

Promising review: "This is incredible!! My grandkids spend hours outdoors, playing with this!! Best thing I could have ever bought to get them outdoors and out from under video games and YouTube. Also, good exercise. It is better outdoors than indoors. The battery life is not very long, but I bought two and they just switch them out. Fun! Fun! Fun!" —ladybug

Get it from Amazon for $28.80 (available in seven colors).

18. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you want to step away from your computer for a snack without your little "active" light on Google, Teams, or Slack going out. Reviewers note it's also great if you don't want your computer to go to sleep while you're not actively working on something, but your computer is, like when you're waiting for files to load!

Promising review: "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 eight styles). 

19. A pack of flavored salt strips that'll make you wonder why you'd ever waste time with messy salt rims. Just peel and stick on your can or bottle, and you can enjoy a little salty flavor with every sip. No muss, no fuss — and perfect for picnics, beach days, and other outdoor drinking opportunities! 

Promising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I was able to reuse the same strip on a six pack. And it was delicious to eat at the end." —Frankie

Promising review: "I love these! My husband likes them with his beer, but they they go great with more than just beer. They were fresh, easy to peel and stick to the bottle, and they taste great. I can't wait to try the chili lime flavor." —Justin Ewald

Get a two-pack (four strips total) for $14.95 (available in three flavors: salt & lime, chili lime, and pickle salt).

20. L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion, a fan-favorite, glycerin-infused illuminator you can mix in with moisturizer or foundation, wear as a base under makeup, *or* apply as a highlight or bronzer for a natural-looking (and not glittery) glow — especially if you're not looking to drop a fortune on Drunk Elephant Bronzi Drops. 

Promising review: "Didn't need this but bought this due to watching a TikTok. Pleasantly surprised by the magical erasing powers. This product has magic dust. Gives you a great glow and erases imperfections with the thinnest layer." —Kim Wilmot

Promising review: "I actually like this glowy lotion better than the drunk Elephant one, and I have both. This goes on smoothly and is not greasy. It leaves you very glowy with a beautiful tan and works well with makeup on top if you so wish. Lasting power, too. Recommend." —ggvega

Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in four shades).

21. A pair of TikTok-famous Cushionaire "recovery" slide sandals that seem to get more popular with every passing day — and for good reason. Reviewers swear the molded cushioned footbed (made from a *waterproof* foam) stays comfy for hours and hours, whether you're using them as at-home slippers or actual outside shoes. Plus reviewers say they're great for pain from plantar fasciitis, bunions, spondylilothesis, and more — ahhh sweet relief.

Promising review: "Where have these been my whole life? These are quite possibly the last pair of sandals for the beach I will ever buy. They are super comfortable and don't kick sand up on the back of your legs when you walk. Easy to rinse too!" —Jennifer Goodman

Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase I've made! I have spondylilothesis and spinal stenosis, so I get horrible back, leg and foot pains. This literally helps relieve my pain while I'm working standing on my feet. They are super cute I get tons of compliments on them and they are breathable, lightweight and easy to keep clean. Perfect for Hawaii weather! 💁🏽‍♀️ There are other brands that look like this but don't be fooled THIS is the brand that is the most comfortable I have other brands and they don't cut it!" —Chelsea Proenza

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 5-12 and 30 colors). 

22. A set of mini macaron containers perfect for storing jewelry, change, or medication at home or while traveling — how *sweet* is that!

Amazon

Promising review: "Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts as I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off. I imagine these would also be great for pretend food for kids' playsets or for a kid's trinket box. Overall I love them, love their feel, love the colors and am very happy." —Mary

Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.99.

23. A copy of Burn After Writing, a journal filled with thought starters and questions that'll really get you inspired — reviewers say it's thought-provoking, had them laughing and crying, and even helped relieve stress! 

Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You're so much more than what's been done to you and someone's inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

Get it from Amazon for $7.32.  

24. A set of exfoliating gloves so you can scrub off dead skin cells and reveal softer, smoother skin during your Everything Showers. Just lather up and (gently!) massage your skin — reviewers say this is great for preventing ingrown hairs, helping reduce KP, and using before applying fake tan! These babies come in three types — light, moderate, and heavy — so you can choose based on your skin type and how often you use them.

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite purchases. Not gonna lie, TikTok made me buy this. So I buy it and I'm still a little nervous because it's literally a glove. But nah, I used it with liquid body soap and I've never felt so clean in my whole life. I got out of the shower feeling like a freshly birthed baby. My skin had never felt so clean and I questioned how I went 32 years without this." —Brittney

Get a pair from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three textures, various colors, and as sets of two or three). 

Btw, Evridwear is a small business that specializes in gloves for work, personal care, and weather use. 

25. An electric candle lighter to make setting your favorite scented candle aflame even *more* satisfying — and save money on those disposable gas lighters (and never burn your fingers on a match again).

BuzzFeed / Heather Braga

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga has to say about it: "I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget for Christmas. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! If you're someone who gets a thrill from RAW POWER this is sort of the product for you. No, it's not a super-intense gadget, relax pyromaniacs, but it does buzz and produce a burst of electricity that I personally find exciting. AND I'll never have to buy another lighter again! Stop burning your fingers on matches and pick up one of these bad boys."

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

26. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set with everything you need to outfit your kitchen and get cooking! Not only are they cheery to look at, but it'll be a bit easier to tell which knife is which when stored in your drawer (so you don't pull out the serrated when you're looking for the chef's knife) and you can prevent cross-contamination when you're slicing a chicken breast and cutting veggies at the same time. 

It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this a holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like this reviewer did! 

Promising review: "This is my best buy of the month, and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. I haven't had to sharpen them yet and I've been using them pretty steadily for about a month. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40-$50 for these knives." —GWP

Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $16.98.

27. A ~hand flex~ magnetic bookmark for any fans of the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, and what might be the hottest moment on film of all time.

And bonus: you'll mark your place in your current book perfectly *without* dog-earing the pages!

The Peachy Polka Dot / Etsy

29. Or a hyper realistic trail mix candle if your home decor taste is on the quirkier size. And for even more confusion, it has a lovely vanilla scent. Trail mix not for you? Why not try their other designs, which include cereal and — I kid you not — mac 'n' cheese.

Promising review: "Beautiful hardcover cookbook with so many yummy Disney recipes from the parks! There is lots of Disney foodie history in it, plus recipes that look easy to follow with high quality ingredients. There are fun maps of each of the parks inside where the food is located from, which makes it fun. As an avid Disney fan I have never seen a cookbook like this." —Nicole

Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 

31. A pair of smiley face slippers with a foam sole and plush fabric to keep your feet happy 😃 from the moment you slide out of bed. One reviewer called them "literal clouds" — and who doesn't want that?

Promising review: "I absolutely love the way these slippers fit. They cup my foot ever so slightly so they stay on my feet but are also easy to kick off due to the low ridge for heel. The interior is so soft and comfortable. I'm in love with them. Oh and although the sole is solid rubber they are quiet on my hardwood floors." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in women's sizes 3/4-9/10).

32. A polar bear-shaped hydrating eye stick formulated with niacinamide, Icelandic glacier water (ooooh!), and xylitol to help moisturize the delicate skin under your eyes and provide a soothing, cool feeling as you apply. Pro tip: keep it in the fridge for an *extra* refreshing feeling!

Promising review: "Love this product. Cooling and moisturizing under my eyes; feels so refreshing, and it actually works. My under-eye area is less puffy and lighter, and the fine lines at the corner of my eyes are very much less noticeable. Definitely recommend!" —Phyllis J.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 

33. A CZ tennis bracelet that looks similar to the pricey Swarovski (or even...the real deal). Reviewers agree it sparkles beautifully, has a super secure clasp, aaaand holds up well to repeated wear! And btw, buys like this are also a great way to "test drive" a piece of jewelry before splurging to make sure you like it for the long haul!

Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

Promising review: "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy." —Alina

Get it from Amazon for $17.90+ (available in three lengths, 14K gold-plated or 18K gold vermeil, and in yellow, rose, or white gold).

It includes seven lettering styles (and 10 alphabets) from cursive to block lettering, all in a handy spiral-bound volume so you can practice comfortably.

Promising review: "I've tried several instructional books on hand lettering. This book is the best by far. I won't say the names of the other books but suffice it to say they are all at the top of the list when you search for hand lettering. It is the only book that gives practice for the base strokes and also discusses posture and how to hold the pen and at what angle to the paper. It is also a lovely book to work with; nice art work/illustrations. I recommend this book to other beginners out there!" —Karen Rorick

Get it from Amazon for $24.72.

36. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask, a K-beauty treatment that's designed to *gently* exfoliate your skin, remove excess sebum, and help clear pores. Basically you'll want to post a picture of it while it foams up on your Insta story, and then take a 🔥 selfie of how soft and glowy your skin looks afterwards!

Check out a TikTok of the foaming mask in action.

Promising review: "I have very few skincare items I buy more than once. Just not usually THAT impressed. That being said, I LOVE this mask. It bubbles up upon application and the tiny bubbles bursting itch and tickle like crazy but stick out the 10 minutes. The first time I used it after washing it off you could literally see the junk and oil sitting on top of my skin as it had been pushed to the surface. The next morning, my skin glowed. I have used it a few times since, not much gunk to push to the top now but can see the pores are empty. Def will be buying more, especially for Christmas presents." —Alice D.

Get it from Amazon for $9.15+ (available in packs of one, two, and three).

37. An oversized plush satin eye mask (one reviewer says it's comparable to the $50 Lunya one!) designed to be extra gentle on your skin and hair so whether you're sleeping in at home or trying to snooze on a red-eye flight, you'll look and feel first class all the way.

Amazon

It's even satin in the back — no annoying elastic strap.

Promising review: "As a high-maintenance sleeper, I hope I never have to be without this mask — actually, I WAS without this mask for a couple of days, which is why I immediately purchased another one. Left on a plane. Heartbreaking. This mask is so soft and plush. It completely blocks out light, and depending on how low you position it behind your head, it muffles sound nicely as well. I've purchased many silk masks, even some pricey ones, and this one by far is my absolute favorite." —alexandriabeth

38. Tie-front satin PJs to make lounging around the house extra fancy. Seriously, these look like they could be from a high-end brand, and when your friends ask you to drop the link, their jaws will drop when they hear "from Amazon."

Promising review: "It's always a gamble getting pajamas online, especially when they're supposed to be silky; sometimes you get that unyielding plastic-y feeling material. That's not the case with these! They're soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they'd be. I'm definitely going to order in more colors." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in women's sizes XS-XXL and 27 colors and patterns).

39. An octopus-shaped blackhead scrub stick that removes excess sebum and gently exfoliates to help reduce blackheads — while looking seriously adorable. We'd expect nothing less from Tonymoly, tbh!

Promising review: "This works exactly as advertised! I have stubborn black heads on my nose and chin and they started cleaning out almost immediately. I use it every night as a part of my skincare routine and have had no issues." —Brittany Wallo

Promising review: "This little octopus thing is the only thing that has helped my teenage son's acne. He has deep set blackheads and he's been using this every night for about a month and they and close to completely gone. It's astonishing. I don't understand how this works but IT WORKS." —cmg

40. A Stealth core trainer to gamify your next workout — it includes four three games (using your smartphone!) to make those planks wayyyy more fun. 

Amazon

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower says about this: "Getting a Stealth board was the very best thing that has happened to me during quarantine. Mixing the fun of games on your phone with the natural endorphins you get from exercising is, to put it lightly, genius. I have two in my home, and my husband and I compete daily to see who can last the longest. My favorite game is the paragliding challenge; he's into the planet-blasting space adventure. Nerd."

Promising review: "Fantastic purchase to solve the boring plank exercises after a year of doing them. This has a quick, easy, simple hit-it-and-forget-it daily with a game, three minute max, and great results. Much improved core strength, reduce lower back pain, and a high five from my doctor. Highly recommend this for those in need of core buildup and help managing the time to fit this into a daily schedule." —James Corey

41. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment formulated with collagen and protein for an intense at-home, mask that'll help your strands look and feel less damaged in just five minutes. It's basically a time machine for your hair, is what I'm saying. Some reviewers say it's even BETTER than Olaplex, which is over three times the price!

Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like. And btw, This is the same brand that makes the Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask so many people swear by (and it looks damn cool).

Promising review: "I have tried everything on the market to fix my damaged, bleached hair that keeps breaking off. I stumbled across this hair treatment 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. Even my boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my hair. I'm going to buy a lot more of this product. 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

Promising review: "The entire Bamboo Sushi Kit is absolutely well made, easy to use, easy to clean, high-end restaurant quality, and durable. it was very nicely packaged, and instructions clear, in-depth and very easy to follow. No one (myself included) in my household has ever made sushi before but (thanks to the enclosed instructions), there were no issues making it. My daughter did an awesome job utilizing these products to make 'FISH-FREE SUSHI' with Pickled Ginger on top. It was delectable! Finally, I highly recommend this set. It comes at a small cost but don't let that deter you — the quality and overall aforementioned features is undoubtedly above and beyond excellent, thus (IMO), it is the perfect product! Loooooove it!" —Liza

Promising review: "Love having this on my kitchen sink. It's happy and cute and makes me happy. One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use but it's still cute and I could've been more careful holding it. Not a super stiff brush but works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well and food doesn't get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." —Hannah Jo Wilson

46. A handy pancake batter dispenser and mixer that's really cleverly designed to make breakfast on weekends or even weekday mornings so much easier.

Just add your ingredients, give it a couple of shakes, and pour right from the spout into the pan for perfect pancakes with minimal mess, drips, or splatter. 

Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Breakfast has never been faster or easier! And it doesn't make noise that will wake everyone up while I am mixing. The silicone tip is real silicone (for those wondering about the pinch test) and does well against cast iron. I have never been able to get my pancakes this fluffy until now! So great! Planning on buying more from this brand! It is also super easy to clean. The bottom comes off to fill it up and it turns into a holder for the bottle by setting the top into the bottom setting. It suggests putting in your liquid first them your mix but if making a large amount you might have to gently tap it a bit." —KC Hunter
