If I were a teacher (which I'm not), I'd give all of these items high marks.

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

The brand recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 can benefit the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

Promising review: "I had this in a sample size and loved it so much that I purchased the full size. Good price. I love the color, amount of product you get, smoothness of application, and how it feels moisturizing on... This is like a thicker lip gloss with color." —neveah3angel

Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in 10 shades).

Promising review: "Crème de pistachio is divine. The lotion is so smooth and goes on really nicely. It absorbs into the skin quickly and leaves the skin feeling hydrated. The scent is really pleasant and not overpowering. I will definitely purchase again." —xWx

Promising review: "My FAVORITE lotion. The smell is so delicious and lasts from the minute I put it on until my next shower. It is thick but non-greasy and soaks in quickly, leaving my skin buttery soft. The price also cannot be beat for how good this smells and how great it works. Just bought my second bottle and am going to be buying for the foreseeable future." —Carol

Promising review: "I soaked in this Dr. Teal's Cozy Vanilla and thought I had died and gone to heaven! The smell is so enticing. I feel so comfortable and relaxed after a nice soak in the tub." —Michelle B.

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.

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy-looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Promising review: "I saw on TikTok this Korean beauty influencer that I follow, and pretty much buy all her skincare products. This was one of the products that she actually used on one of her clients who had very large pores. It's been a month, and my pores have shrunk, my face is so much clearer, and I know I'm gonna buy this product again." —jessica aquino lopez

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a vitamin illuminating serum). 

Promising review: "I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular-sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" —T. Rune

Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99 (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing).

Promising review: "We have bought at least six different brands of these kinds of pillowcases over the years via Amazon. We always order standard-size pillowcases, but invariably, we end up with queen-size ones. These standard-size pillowcases really are standard size. They fit our pillows perfectly. And though all the brands that advertise under the 'satin' or 'sateen' or 'silk' pillowcase category represent that their products are, or 'feel like' silk, these pillowcases really do feel silky. We have only washed them (cold water and line-dried only) a few times, but they seem as though they will hold up. I sure hope so. They are the best and most comfortable that we have yet to find on Amazon." —George Scarlatta

Get them from Amazon for $7.64+ (available in four sizes and 31 colors).

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice, strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in seven sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents) 

Promising review: "This is by far the best money spent on clothing! I love this outfit. It's so comfortable! I will say the tag was a bit itchy on the top piece, so I had to cut it off. Otherwise, I would give it 20/10. This outfit is what I treat myself to on my self-care days and relaxing moments. Personally, I don't think I'd wear it out and about, but around the house, it is just so perfect! And what I look like in my own house doesn't matter, but my comfort definitely does!" —Wendy

Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 28 styles).

After reading about how much reviewers loved this product (and including it in my articles for years) I was so excited to finally try it out myself. I wasn't disappointed! It's a little louder than I thought it would be (as the air compresses in and out to relieve tension), but once I put music on with it, I didn't notice the noise anymore. I've been using it to relax my eyes after a long day of working on screens *and* parenting. I also break it out when I have sinus pain, and it's been really helpful in easing that pain. Consider me a fan! 

Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $52.99 (available in 16 colors).

Touchland is a Latina-owned business that was founded by Andrea Lisbona in 2010.

I (Heather) have this magical Touchland x Disney collab and it makes me smile every time I spray it. It comes with a watermelon scented hand sanitizer that smells amazing *and* when you finish the bottle, you can reuse the cute Mickey Mouse case! It leaves my hands feeling nourished (and clean!) and doesn't dry them out the way other, more liquid-y sanitizers do. I have a variation of these Touchland sprays in my car, my diaper bag, and my purse.

Promising review: "It’s such an adorable, thick, durable, and sturdy case for Touchland sanitizers! The sanitizer comes out smelling amazing and leaves the hands feeling clean and smelling good! There’s no way the sanitizer will leak with support like this." —Victor C.

This lovely lil' gadget has seven different light settings, calming "wake up" noises, and can be set to gradually get brighter at 30, 20, or 10 minutes.

Promising review: "I got this recommendation from TikTok, and it really has helped, especially with Oregon winters, where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These are very cute! I love the flexibility. The stems are long so it will not get knocked out your book (my book is always roaming in my bag). The top is subtle. It really looks like a mushroom emerging from your book. Worth the buy." —Atticus

Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as cable ties).

Britishbookart is a small business based in the UK that sells paintings of literary characters, like Belle from Beauty and the Beast (my personal fave) and Arya from Game of Thrones, as well as reading trackers and bookmarks.

Get it from britishbookart on Etsy for $5.63 and check out the zodiac versions here.

Promising review: "I never got the chance to read Jane Austen, but I am loving these books. I have people waiting for me to finish them so they can borrow them." —Pattikake

We took this along on a five-hour road trip to Maine, and my 3-year-old son was (and still is) obsessed. He calls it his "pad" and loves feeling like he is just like Dad (who usually unwinds with his iPad). It's continued to keep him entertained even though he's now heard the same stories a ton of times — even my 1-year-old enjoys pressing the buttons and hearing the various songs it plays! The "eReader" has a bunch of quizzes built in that my son loves taking over and over to challenge himself (I'm pretty impressed, TBH). 

Check out this viral Lego flower bouquet in this TikTok from @shaelorend. 

The bouquet includes 15 stems with a mix of flower and leaf varieties, including roses, snapdragons, and poppies, and it uses elements made from plant-based plastic. My 3-year-old is Lego obsessed and had a blast working on these with me! They appear intricate, but, honestly, weren't hard to put together at all (and I'm a Lego novice)!

Promising review: "Buy this for anyone in your life who loves gardening and you are guaranteed to see their face light up when they open it up. Got it for my mom on her birthday and she thought it was the coolest gift ever." —Greg

Get it from Amazon for $47.95 and check out the entire Lego Botanicals collection!

...and the celestial design on the front is stunning, if I do say so myself.

Promising review: "This book helps you understand that it’s okay to be completely honest with yourself. The book itself was in great condition with clean pages. I can’t wait to venture more into this lil' journey with myself. ♥️" —Molls

My kids have worn a variety of pajamas from Magnetic Me, and we're big fans! I first bought them when my son was a baby and was putting up a major, wiggly fight when we'd try to get him changed for bed. Instead of trying to zip pajamas up or close snaps, these PJs just magnetically close together. Easy peasy! 

Get it from Magnetic Me for $35.20 (available in sizes NB–24M) and check out all the sizing available in this fun Mickey Mouse print.

The two pals set out to create a collection of books for kids that are printed in both English and Spanish!

Promising review: "This book is absolutely adorable and a wonderful introduction to Selena for any baby or toddler. My girls love this book!" —Sara

Get it from Lil' Libros or Amazon for $9.99 and check out all of their books!

Promising review: "I've been drooling over the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, but the price just isn't in my budget…but after buying this, I say save your money and get the Dash! So easy to use and makes yummy ice cream at home! I love making frozen yogurt with Greek yogurt and then add-ins. So delicious!!" —Kat Barber

Get two mugs and a churner from Amazon for $44.99.

Promising review: "This jigsaw roller works perfectly for me. It's just a piece of felt with an inflatable tube, two straps, and a bag, but it worked well for me holding my 1,000-piece puzzles together. The felt is smooth, my puzzle pieces don't snag on it. It's on the thinner side but is thick enough to stay firm all the way across when rolled up." —Shaunie

Promising review: "For its size, it truly does the job. It's so cute and perfectly compact, I wish I could have it out to display, but I keep it under my desk. It goes perfectly with all my pink, too! 😊 It's perfect for a small designated area, but I really think if given the chance, it could warm a lot more area. I support, must buy" —Barbie Girl

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

Promising reviews: "This fits perfectly in my small purse. I love that I can use this for my nighttime outings to take great selfies, but also for work during my meetings. It has warm lights, white lights, and a combination of both. You may also change the intensity of each. It really makes you look great." —Araceli Grande

"As a remote employee, this is an item I use daily. Compact, reliable, clips easily to a laptop. The lighting is nice. I like that. It comes with a USB cable so you don't have to recharge it. It does exactly what it needs to do. Great for team meetings, especially if you have an office space that doesn't have the best lighting." —Abbie M Reeves

And the removable cover is machine washable, too!

ComfiLife is a small business based in San Diego. They're all about pain relief, comfort, and taking care of your body.

Promising reviews: "I've purchased similar items in the past that visually looked like this, but were stiff and rigid. This is amazing... Highly recommend." —Bellarosa555

"Since I've started working from home (coronavirus quarantine), I really miss my office chair. I saw this reviewed on BuzzFeed and immediately ordered it. Best decision ever. It helps my posture and makes my stiff kitchen chair way more comfortable." —Melissa Schuler

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in nine colors). 

You can either use it as a scent inhaler or rub it directly on the tip of your nose for relief.

Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime when 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

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 for a pack of two (also available in a pack of four). 

Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. 

Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. 

BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has sung its praises: "I used this on a round-trip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves!"

Promising review: "This is such a beautiful piece! Love how the logs diffuse the light from the flicker candle. For the price, it’s amazing!" —Julia K.

Get it from 3DSpaceGarden on Etsy for $28 (available in eight colors).

After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and was really amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! My 1-year-old colored with a blue crayon all over our play table, and The Pink Stuff took it off INSTANTLY — it was incredible to watch!

Promising review: "I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with the use of a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazingly so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Overall, very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa

I have these tablets and use them all the time! They work especially great after the bottom of my dishwasher has gotten stained with residue from detergent or rusty-looking liquid after I've run my baking sheets through the wash. I love knowing I can just pop one into the dishwasher 1, 2, 3, and end up with a clean machine.

Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila

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 

Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (also available in a two-pack)

Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe i'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." —Hoarder

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses).

The weights are covered with a sweatproof, skin-friendly silicone layer that's comfortable, and the adjustable elastic band helps you get the right fit. You can even remove weights as well if needed!

Promising review: "I love these! So great for yoga or mat Pilates. I like that they are 2 pounds each, which is the perfect weight, and you can even take off weight as well. I use them every week for my workouts. Very durable band as well!" —Robyn

Get a pair from Amazon for $24.09+ (available in three sizes and 14 colors).

The storage rack can also hold BruMates, Simple Modern tumblers, YETl cups, Owala bottles, and HydroJugs.

I have these towels and, lemme tell you, I have yet to experience a softer towel in my 33 years of life. They are SO plush, absorptive, and look rather stylish hanging in my bathroom. They seem to get softer every time I wash them. They're definitely worth the splurge.

Promising review: "Absorbs water well, but the texture is different. Like putting a fine bathrobe on. I love them so much; this is my second set." —Karen M

Get a set of two bath towels from Cozy Earth for $118 (available in 10 colors and also as bath sheets, hand towels, and washcloths).

These delectable beans are a labor of collaborative love between Devoción and  Beacon, NY-based HÅKAN Chocolatier. Devoción itself is a Latino-owned business that was started by Colombian-born Steven Sutton in 2006. I've (Heather) personally been visiting their Williamsburg location for years and cannot say enough good things about their coffee. I love that they're a no nonsense coffee shop that doesn't sell all of those fancy, seasonal drinks — just simple, delicious options. My husband loves the brand so much that he even uses their signature coffee cups and saucers at home.

Promising review: "I keep going back to these. I've bought three already. They make great gifts and help keep me caffeinated throughout the day." —Jennifer

Note: you can read more about the benefits of massage, including how it may help with temporary pain relief, at Cleveland Clinic *and* also learn more about how heat may help with muscle knots, muscle relaxation, and improved range of motion here. AND (!!!) be sure to talk to your doctor before diving right in with any massage products.

My husband and I have been testing out this massage table for the last couple of months, and now that I've really put it to good use, I can let you know it is worth every last penny. We both work from home and sit at our desks all day. When we're not doing that, we're carrying around our toddlers, bending to pick up toys, taking them on long, hilly walks, arching over the bathtub to scrub behind their ears...well, you get the point. Our backs are not in great shape, to say the least. The first time I had lain down on this table, I genuinely wasn't sure I'd ever be able to get up. I was able to turn on the heat settings and use the remote to adjust the rollers to the *exact* spot on my back that always felt knotted. It works so incredibly well that my husband and I have incorporated it into our nightly routines. You only need five minutes to feel a difference, but you'll want to lie there much longer. My sister has scoliosis and gave it a try during a recent visit — she also is obsessed and loved it! 

Promising review: "This table is really massaging my back and shoulders like I never would have imagined. In fact, when it arrived, I said to myself, 'I must be out of sorts to have spent $600 on another portable massage table; it's going back!' But once I tried it, I was blown away, and there's no way I'll part with it now." —William L

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.

This piece is by Heather Braga, an editor on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, who covers a variety of topics including things that'll make parent's lives (hopefully) easier, exciting gadgets, cozy products (think: home goods and fashions that'll make you want to snuggle), and any magical Disney item that crosses her path. When she's not spending time (fighting for her life) with her two toddlers she's probably consuming far too much iced coffee, boppin' to Taylor Swift, adding to her TBR stack, and watching The Real Housewives.
