Ummmmm truly nothing out here will light your fire like a holy grail produce saver, a cheap Laneige swap, or a clever water bottle cleaning brush.

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING!!! I saw a demo in a YouTube video and thought I would give it a try — this is such a treasure find!!! It says blur, and blur it does!! Talk about softening a look! I never want to be without this product again!! It made my 60-year-old face look 10 years younger!!" —Christine McGrath 

Price: $12.97 (available in four shades) 

Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" —Willy&Lilly

Price: $12.99 for a pack of two (also available in a pack of four). 

Promising review: "I love this tinted lip balm! It gives my lips the perfect wash of color while keeping them super soft and hydrated. The texture is smooth and lightweight — not sticky at all — and it feels like I’m just wearing a nourishing balm, but with a natural lipstick look. The tint is buildable too, so I can swipe once for a subtle glow or add more for a deeper pop of color. It’s perfect for days when I want a little something without doing a full face of makeup. Plus, it’s great for touch-ups on the go. Highly recommend if you want moisture + color in one easy step!!" —J.P. 

Promising review: "One of my favorite products for treating acne! It smells really good (which is rare for acne treatments) and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all. It helps calm breakouts quickly without drying me out. Definitely a staple in my skincare routine." —Lorena Fundora

Bounce Curl is a small business that specializes in curl brushes. 

Promising review: "Best brush hands down, I am a mixed girl with thick curly hair, and when I run this brush through my hair wet, it does magic. My curls after using this in the shower to detangle are amazing, then I use my choice of product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp but separate effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K 

Price: $29.99 (available in three colors) 

This is also a great option for traveling! 

Promising review: "I got this set to test the products and see if it made a difference with my very damaged bleached hair. My curls are back, and my hair is soft again. Couldn't be happier and now I'll be investing in the full-size versions. Do keep in mind, these are small, about five uses for my hair. The oil is lasting though." —Coleman

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them, and that there's no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had them for a few months now and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer 

Price: $12.99+ (available in three styles)

Promising review: "I saw some hype about this L'Oreal Collagen Bounce serum, so I decided to try it. Wow! I put it on at night, it felt good on my face and neck skin, but the best part was how my skin looked and felt in the morning. Nice job, L'Oreal, keep new products like this coming!" —peggy366

Price: $9.97 (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $6.99).

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

"One of the best facial sunscreens I've ever used. The design is amazing and contours your face perfectly. It works well on its own or layered under makeup. No issues with clogging my pores or breakouts. I wore it on a trip to Mexico, and it did its job flawlessly. I will repurchase again and again." —Tlong

Price: $17 (also available in two-packs) 

Promising review: "I love these socks! They are cotton, fit well, don’t pinch my legs and yet stay up perfectly fine. They have no fragrance to them (a problem I tend to find with other white cotton products). They wash well and don’t shrink in the dryer. Other 100% cotton socks I’ve tried have been oddly shaped, don’t stay up, and were not comfortable. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THESE! I hope they continue to make these even if the slouch sock trend goes out of fashion, because I would wear them trend or no." —Karen K 

Price: $15.51+ for a set of three (available in four sets). 

Promising review: "I bought this to wash baby bottles and pump supplies. Good build and does not feel cheap. I like that it is collapsible for storage and it has a drain on the bottom which makes it super convenient to drain after a soak. I can fit a lot in the tub for soaking." —Lacey D. 

Price: $15.99+ (available in five colors)

First Aid Beauty is a US-based small business that specializes in clean, fragrance-free, cruelty-free personal care products. 

Promising review: "Miracle worker pads. These are amazing! I get seriously bad ingrown hairs in my bikini line, and they were gone after two days of using these pads. They smell a little funky, but the smell doesn’t linger. They are a good size and are easy to use.' —Kelsie Pellegrini

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing an ad on TikTok. I'm skeptical but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff, but it is genuinely amazing. I tested it on all the different areas of my body. It didn’t do a thing to my well-exfoliated palm, but my face, legs, LIPS… baby soft with big balls of dead skin coming off. Like one of those Korean exfoliating gloves, but you don’t have to scrub like you do with those. You just gently rub it in, and your dead skin peels away. I even had a weird callous on my arm that keeps regrowing [and] it smoothed it down so cleanly. This stuff is truly magic. Just WOW." —Nellie

Promising review: "I have a number of Yeti and other lidded mugs, cups, and glasses I use at the office and clean out in the communal break room sink. I could see a buildup that I just couldn’t get to in the lids, and it was grossing me out! This little tool does the trick! It gets in between the rubber ridges in the rings, all around the lip of the cups and lids, and cleans everything from milk residue to lipstick smudges. I have been using it five days a week for several weeks now, and no signs of wear on the tool. Cleans up great, dries well, does the job." —Alfie

Price: $8.99+ (available in four colors and multipacks) 

Eight Saints is a small business that specializes in skincare products. 

Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of all things Eight Saints. I have sensitive skin, and this is the first skincare line that I have seen results in my skin texture and fine lines while not triggering my eczema. When I saw they added this neck cream to their product line, I knew I had to try it. At 39 years old, I've noticed some loss in firmness of my skin on my neck, and when I wake up in the morning, I have wrinkles on my decolletage from side sleeping. I started using this about a week ago, and I've already noticed improvements in the fine lines on my neck, plus when I wake up in the morning, no more wrinkles on my chest! It's so smooth, thick, and creamy, but rubs into your skin with ease, and it's so hydrating. Top quality product again from Eight Saints!" —Ms Leach 

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. 

Promising review: "I really loved the versatility of this product. I can choose how much room for each bag size needed and adjust when needed. Perfect for my art fair bags." —MrsDash

Promising review: "I was honestly skeptical about switching from traditional razors, but this electric razor blew me away. It’s sleek, lightweight, and incredibly easy to use — even for someone like me who’s never used an electric shaver before. The best part? It’s IPX7 waterproof, which means I can use it safely in the shower without any worries. It glides smoothly over my skin and doesn’t tug or irritate sensitive areas like other razors I’ve tried. I’ve used it on my legs, underarms, and even for bikini-line touch-ups, and it’s always left my skin feeling soft and silky." —Brittany McCue 

Price: $29.99 (also available in 2-in-1 styles).

Promising review: "All my life I've used a rag for cleaning my face. I started having breakouts. I saw this on TikTok so I decided to purchase. Since I've been using these, I no longer have breakouts. The towel is soft to the skin and works very well since I have sensitive skin. I will most definitely purchase again." —India Freeman

Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch clip in action. 

Promising review: "Just got this today and I love it! I needed something that would keep my hair up, but not pull and not pull it out when I removed it, as well as something that was comfortable and safe to wear while driving. I haven’t driven with it in yet BUT, I am lying in my bed, on my iPad with my head in the pillow and am very comfortable. My new holy grail for putting my hair up. Could not be happier! My hair is long, and moderate thickness, and it holds beautifully." —Kimberly A. 

Price: $7.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors) 

Promising review: "Who doesn't love Bob Ross and the ease with which he would paint a spectacular landscape? This is a great way for a person like me, with no artistic ability, the opportunity to paint a beautiful picture. You will get 24 watercolor/painting pages and 12 color pages with your own pencils or markers. A paintbrush does come included with the book, so you can start painting as soon as you get it. It is very calming to dip the brush in water and, with a few strokes, create a watercolor scene." —Erinn

Pro-tip: You can also snap up a Bob Ross mini paint-by-number kit and a Bob Ross paint-by-number coloring book if you want a more hands-on activity! 

Peach Slices is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 

Promising review: "I use these once a week and they really help my huge nose pores look way smaller and cleaner. The first time, I still had some oil and gunk in my pores, but the second time, I had even less. By the third time I used them, the only oil was on the patch, and my nose has never looked better. My pores appear smaller, and my nose is smoother." —Sarah Cavasos

Promising review: "Biofreeze's Dry Stick has been a game changer format for me!! I really love this convenient little version I can take on the go, and fits in the palm of my hand. The product does not feel greasy after it dries and gives the cooling relief I love from Biofreeze menthol products. It has been super easy to apply and mess-free for me. Will be buying again for sure." —Lisa M. 

Fomin is a small business that specializes in travel soaps and wipes. 

Promising review: "Best thing ever. I work outdoors and I use this for my job. Doesn’t require lots of water either, but gets the job done. I actually bought it for my fishing trip and can’t wait to see how well it does." —Amazon Customer

Price: $11.99 for a three-pack (available in single-scent packs, unscented, and larger packs). 

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "F-ing fantastic. No exaggeration. It's more full coverage than I expected, but that also means you don't need a lot. I love it. I wasn't sure it'd be worth the $18 because I don't usually spend that much on one makeup product, but with it replacing my foundation and my sunscreen, it's worth it. It soaks in, it doesn't feel greasy or dry, it's just smooth. I love love love it. I'm 36, so my skin is NOT perfect. This doesn't settle into lines. It's honestly wonderful. 10/10." —Kaity Tuttle 

Promising review: "I've been using these compostable sandwich bags for about a year now and I'm really happy with them. The quality is great — they hold up well without tearing or getting flimsy — and it's such a bonus knowing they're eco-friendly. I love that I can just toss them in the compost when I'm done. It feels good to make a small change that actually makes a difference. Highly recommend!" —MPS

Price: $16.99 for a set of 25 (also available in quart and gallon sizes) 

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 they also have little pockets for random 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 

Price: $52.79+ (available in three styles). 

Promising review: "I’ve tried so many eyebrow products, and the L’Oréal eyebrow filler pen is the first one that truly delivers hairlike strokes that look natural and defined. It’s incredibly easy to use and gives a realistic finish that blends beautifully with my natural brows. What impressed me, even more, is the price — finally, a product that works and doesn’t break the bank! The cost is totally reasonable, especially considering the quality of the outcome." —Kelly V. 

Price: $7.95+ (available in eight shades) 

Promising review: "Love these knives. Sharp, aesthetic, and serve their purpose. The set comes with a good amount of knives and the shears are incredible." —Samantha Gillin

Price: $49.99 (also available in two other color sets). 

Promising review: "These press-ons are absolutely top-notch! The quality is impressive — thick, durable, and they feel just like a salon set. They were super easy to apply, and I love that they come in a great variety of sizes to fit every nail perfectly. No chipping, cracking, or splitting — unlike the cheaper brands I’ve tried before. Highly recommend if you’re looking for long-lasting, salon-quality nails at home! They look great and I’m very happy with them." —Im_just_melanie

This is also an EXCELLENT tool for students who want to summarize lectures! 

Promising review: "Love this product! Very user-friendly, and the app is easy to navigate. Can transcribe and summarize meeting notes in a couple of minutes and allows you to choose what layout (meeting notes, transcript, mind map) you would like. Allows you to edit notes if needed and replay the meeting. This handy device can record phone calls. Just place it in the holder and attach to your phone, and switch the button to the phone option for those on-the-go phone conferences. Very helpful and convenient!!" —Rachele

Stasher is a small business that specializes in storage and meal prep products. 

Promising review: "Good travel makeup bags. I use this bag for my makeup brushes, and I love it because it keeps them separate from my makeup, so they stay cleaner." —Claudia

Price: $14.28+ (available in three styles and also in multi-packs) 

Promising review: "I have very very straight lashes (think of that Sesame Street character with those hanging lashes). I can never tell if they’re long because they just point down. Curlers (heated and non) only ever did so much. Expensive mascaras were a waste of money. Then I tried this! And while it’s gonna be different on everyone, here it is on straight lashes, no liner (inner or outer lid), no primer or curler used either. This is two coats. So I hope this helps! This brush and formula have made all the difference for me, and they stay put all day, too. Yay for being cheap too!!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $9.94 (available in four colors).

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about them: "This is a product that I put in travel stories over and over and over again, and would always think, 'Hmm, I should buy some.' Once I booked my first-ever cruise, I knew that I needed to invest in these hangers to make the most of what I presumed would be a tiny closet for my cabin. These were super easy to slip into my super-packed suitcase and plenty sturdy for holding up a variety of stuff. In my pic above, you'll see one collapsed and then one in use, with dips perfect for spaghetti or thin straps. So many hotel and rental places' hangers don't have those little dips, and my slip dresses are always slipping off of them. With these, I was able to put a variety of garments on them without anything slipping off — in fact, they work better at that than my regular velvet hangers I have at home!" 

Promising review: "They are so lightweight and yet so durable. I can’t say enough good things about them. I love the fact that they come in their own bag so that I wouldn’t have several hangers flying around my suitcase. I love that now I don’t have to worry about how many hangers the hotel has. Another big bonus is that if you decide to do laundry, you can now hang up your clothes to dry. The hangers are very light, and they add relatively nothing to the overall weight of my suitcase. It is the perfect solution for my travel needs." —P. Thomassen

Price: $9.99 for a set of 12 (also available in larger sets).

Promising review: "I bought this for my recent European trip and it worked great. It’s compact, easy to use, and offers adequate pressure. Each fill of the tank lasts me one session, so it’s perfect for me. I used to pack my full-size Waterpik; no more — this is one of my better buys for traveling!" —Phuoc Lee 

Price: $24.99+ (available in four colors) 

Promising review: "I have had this wine bottle opener for over two years, and I'm so happy with this purchase. I love the aesthetic, and that I can leave it on the counter. When you receive the product, you just have to plug it in to charge, and then it’s ready to use. It’s convenient to have the foil cutter. It’s also still sharp after two years. In just a few seconds, the bottle is opened and I’m ready to enjoy a glass of wine!" —Rebecca Anne

Price: $19.99+ (available in three colors) 

Sayso is a woman-owned small business that specializes in the first-ever cocktail tea bag, perfect for cocktails *and* mocktails. 

Promising review: "I like to let them steep around ten minutes. Quick and delicious cocktails! I’ve tried all flavors except Old Fashioned, and that's next. These are fantastic for cocktail lovers that camp. No heavy mixers to carry." —AnneF

Price: $16.99 for a pack of eight (available in six other cocktail styles and larger packs) 

Promising review: "I only took carry-ons for a vacation, so I clipped my hat to my bag so I wouldn't have to wear or hold it. It worked great. It looked cute and was very secure. Never came off." —Mom

Promising review: "These are my best value summer purchase. I take my kids to the splash park all summer long and these come in so handy for their wet clothes. It's waterproof, roomy, and a cute alternative to using a plastic bag." —Brenda

Price: $16.16+ for a set of two (available in a variety of colors/designs).

Promising review: "These pants are so great! Cute and comfy. Lots of pockets. Breathable for hiking or for travel, even in the summer. Not at all see-through. I bought them for an upcoming trip, and they fit me perfectly. Don't let the elastic waist scare you off. They don't look frumpy; with the shirt untucked, you would think they have a waistband. These are exactly the casual khaki pants I've been looking for. Hurrah!" —CB

Price: $36.99+ (available in petite sizes XS–XXL, regular sizes XS–XXL, tall sizes XS–XXL, and 10 colors)
