Unbuckle your kiddos and get *all* the gunk while vacuuming with less effort.

I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

Promising review: "I'm obsessed!!! I keep this in my teacher desk so that I can easily use it whenever I stop for coffee in the morning on my way to school. It's a super cute pattern for an English teacher. I can hold my iced coffee without making my hands cold. The best part is that I don't have a puddle of condensation on my desk as the coffee melts." —Former Lifeguard, sunglasses expert

Price: $14.99+ (available in five sizes and various other prints)

Promising review: "This dustpan and broom are such a lifesaver, or I should say BACK saver. No more bending down to finish sweeping up — you just pop this little pan down and sweep it all into it without ever having to go down to floor level. I really like the design, it is easy to take around the room, and when you are done, it retracts back toward the handle, the broom clips onto the handle, and it takes up very little space in your closet! I think it does a wonderful job of picking everything up, too. I did not find it left any residue behind whatsoever. So the rubber piece at the front of the pan really does lay flat enough to help you gather up even the smallest particles. Can't believe I waited this long to purchase something like this. It will work both in the house and on the patio or front porch. Very happy with it." —Diane

Price: $25.99+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and 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 it for a few months now, and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer

Shakalo is a small biz based in San Diego.

Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1x–2x a week. I even use it on my dogs's paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of. I will definitely be buying another baggie to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a three-pack). 

It fits on both flat and raised sinks. It can also be trimmed to your desired length. 

Promising review: "Pressed it onto my kitchen counter and it hasn't budged since. The material is thick but soft—won't scratch anything. I love that little lip that extends into the sink. Water just runs right back down instead of pooling at the base. Keeps my clothes dry and the counter clean. Then I realized it doubles as a trivet—set a hot pan straight from the stove on it, no marks, no damage. This little strip protects your counter and saves you from having to wipe up water. Totally worth it." —Effie Zhang 

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors). 

Promising review: "These things are awesome! I have a 'prosumer' espresso machine, and it is HEAVY. Since I didn't want to pay a plumber to run a water line to it, I had to pull it out from under the upper cabinets to fill the water tank. There were days I just couldn't face the fight, and would go buy a coffee rather than wrestle with that machine. Enter the Aieve Appliance Sliders. My husband installed these little beauties onto the legs, and now I can push that machine back into place, with a full water tank, with one hand! Yes, it is true, I do have to hold it still while I insert the Portafilter, but that's so easy compared to the problem they solved." —Lady Belle 

Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in packs of 8, 16, and 24). 

Promising review: "This little light works great! Really lights up all the dust! It sticks on very securely. No issues with it staying attached. I love that it is easy to click on and off with just a slight touch of my foot. I would highly recommend." —Danielle

This product’s packaging says to avoid using it around open food, so keep your chip bags closed and hot dogs covered (these silicone lids would cover plates easily) while you hang out. But it should be fine to pull out a hot dog and handful of chips if you’re going to eat them right away. Read more about the low dosages of pesticides in products like this at the American Mosquito Control Association.

Promising review: "This thing actually works great. We started using it during outdoor markets, and it made a noticeable difference with mosquitoes. Normally, I get bitten constantly when we’re outside for long periods of time, but with this running nearby, it helped a lot. It’s also really easy to set up and convenient to bring along. We’ve used it at markets, sitting outside at home, and at other outdoor events, and have been really happy with it. It’s become one of those things we always make sure to bring with us now." —Paige 

Get it from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in 10 colors and packs of two). 

Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! 

Promising review: "The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don’t burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" —Joyce Hill

Price: $29.99 (available in five styles). 

You can also use this in your room to keep valuables protected. You can either set a three-digit combination code or use the provided key!

Promising review: "This is a must-have for vacations. We took it to Atlantis in the Bahamas, and it worked perfectly. It held our phones, room keys, etc., while we were out enjoying the beach or pool. Just looped it to our beach chair or table. Highly recommended." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. 

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (also available as a two-pack).  

The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.

Promising review: "These are so comfortable! They add a little layer of softness to my little flat shoes. No need to wear socks, and yet my shoes don’t pick up any sweaty foot odor, even in the heat of summer. I haven’t washed mine yet, but I know they can be, which will extend the life of the socks."—Sheryl L. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes [fits women's sizes 6–13] and four colors).

Promising review: "Better than bike shorts! I gave these two solid test drives before writing my review because I was that skeptical, but y’all…THEY’RE AWESOME. I’ve been doing the bike shorts thing for pretty much my entire life, but the extra layer is annoying, and bike shorts tend to ride…er, up? I got these as a skeptic, figuring maybe, just maaaaybe there’s a better solution out there and, you guys. Seriously. This is IT. I got the black lace ones, and these bad boys stay put! Initially, I had them on for about four hours, but I took them for a full eight-hour workday yesterday, and they did great! I love that they don’t ride anywhere during the day, they’re super easy to put on, take off, and hand wash, and they look way prettier than my bike shorts. For the first time, I’m excited to wear dresses this summer!" —Jill S 

Get them from Amazon for $20.69+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 19 colors and styles).

Promising reviews: "I have seen these on every CleanTok page and I finally caved. I honestly wish I had sooner because these are AMAZING. I don't know how they do it, but these things grab up every last bit of dust and dirt off those hard to reach/annoying places. They are also so easy to clean and maintain, so they are built to last you for a while." —Christine O'Gara

"I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer

Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

Here's what Buzzfeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods).

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. 

Promising review: "This does what it says. I've gone to the dryer so many times to find my sheets and blankets in a balled-up type blob. I have to unwrap everything and start the dryer again since it is all damp still...and usually had to repeat this another time to finally have the items dried. Wasting so much electricity for a number of drying cycles. The first time I used this product, it alleviated this issue. Everything was dry and not balled up. Fantastic product! I wish I would have found it sooner in my life. I think this will be stocking stuffers for my siblings this year." —Dan Smith

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a set of four).

This doesn't attach to the car seat, so there is no stress of your kiddo unbuckling mid-ride. You can keep it in the car, in your purse, or even attach it to your keys so you always have it on hand. 

UnbuckleMe is a woman-owned small business run by Becca Davison and her mother, Barbara Heilman, an occupational therapist and grandmother of four.

Watch a TikTok of a mom explain why this tool has been a game changer.

Promising review: "As soon as I saw this on Shark Tank, I bought it. It was exactly what I've been looking for since I started driving with my new grandbaby. Like the grandma in the duo that invented this, I have arthritis in my thumbs. Many times, I have struggled to unlock the straps, almost to the point of panic. It worked exactly as advertised. Can't wait to use it with my granddaughter!" —Margery Smith

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors). 

Promising review: "Easy access cheats basically, and it’s still sitting there on my Mac two years later. No bubbles or scratches or any hint that it’s fading or coming off. That thing isn’t going anywhere. I recommend putting it on the left side if you use the trackpad, since your wrist will cover it if it’s on the right." —Coco Reale

Get it from Amazon for $5.95 (available in eight styles).

Former BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has this and says: "Finding this cup makes me feel *very in* the know, and I can't believe it's not yet a classic infant cup. Because it's absolute Glinda the Good Witch witchcraft. We originally got our baby an infant cup with a straw, but she was more interested in playing with the lid and would rarely drink from it. The day we got this she caught on instantly — her bottles were gone the same week with no tears and a healthily hydrated baby! I love that it gives her the confidence to drink from regular cups and water bottles because she now knows how to gulp. Plus, I can just throw this in a bag and go — no drips, ever! This has made our life SO easy."

Promising review: "I have several colors of this cup, and they are the best sippy cups for toddlers. I love that they don't spill, and they come in fun colors and designs. They're also easy to wash. I'll definitely be buying more colors!" —Liane Menendez

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. I Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S. 

"Another product I got from TikTok. It’s a necessity. No more struggling and almost burning yourself. Stays charged for days. A week at most if you use it frequently." —Nijada

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in five colors and in two packs). 

Londontown is a small business that sells creative nail products. 

Promising review: "Londontown has become my new favorite brand. Their products really work and my nails are much better for it. After spending all the time doing a manicure, occasionally you get a smudge. NOW you can easily fix that little area, NO PROBLEM. I'm going to always buy their products, I'm hooked." —Jolie

You can reuse one tracker for up to 12 refills, or just keep it on one bottle and refill the bottle. 

Promising review: "Love these! FINALLY a way I can keep track of whether I took my pills (morning and/or evening). Whoever thought of these was a genius! I gave some to my brother as well. :)" —reader1

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart-enable" other parts of your home. Some also add it to their kitchen appliances like coffee brewers or kettles so they can start their cup of joe without getting out of bed. 

Promising review: "I recently purchased the SwitchBot Bot to control the light switch in my bedroom, and I'm incredibly impressed with its performance. Setting it up was a breeze — just a few simple steps and was able to connect it to my Bluetooth without any issues. The SwitchBot Bot works exactly as described. With just a tap on my phone, can easily turn my light switch on or off. It's incredibly convenient, especially for those times when you forget to turn off the lights before leaving a room." —Blossom

Get it from Amazon for $24.65 (available in white and black). 

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. 

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

Promising review: "Both my husband with metal frames and my mother with plastic frames love these! My husband had a spot on his glasses with some numbers engraved that irritated the top of his ear. We thought this product would solve that problem, and it did, along with the slipping down his nose. They were instantly comfortable to wear. I decided to try them on my mother's glasses for the slipping problem, and she was thrilled, too. No problems with catching on hair for either. Great idea that works!" —Nancy A.

Get them from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek...now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor." —LHD

Get them from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in three colors and two lengths).

Promising review: "Cleaned three items in less than five minutes. Vacuum brush head and two hair brushes that have three girls' long hair. I can’t wait to get the whole vacuum and rug cleaner bristles cleaned. I had to write this review after testing it out. Design is strong, sturdy, and handles great. Highly recommended." —Rob

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. 

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 reviews: "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

Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (also available in two-packs). 

Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" —Brianna

Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I thought they would be a little flimsy, but these are great! I was able to clean so much better with these. The handle is sturdy, and the bristles are very firm. I've used them to clean grout, under the sink, window sills, etc. The slim design is great for small or narrow areas." —Jennifer Jarvis 

Get a 6-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in black and multicolor). 

It comes in different sizes (depending on your make and model) with a money-back guarantee.

Promising review: "This is super easy to use. Open and put it in the window; can't get any easier than that. My GMC Denali sits outside in the Southeastern North Carolina sun all day, and this really made a difference. When I get into my truck, I can actually sit on the leather seats without being burned. It also keeps the sun off my dash, which is important down here in the Southeast. I would definitely recommend it.' —Sharon

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in a variety of sizes and for specific makes and models).

Promising review: "If I could give this more stars, I would! For 18 years, my son's hands have been soaked with sweat. He would wipe them, and not even three seconds later, they would be wet again, all day, every day. His clothes would get ruined from this, and his hands always look wrinkly from water. We tried this and now he can go all day, even working in the kitchen at work, and his hands stay dry. With washing all day and gloves on!!! He only applies it twice a day, morning and before bed. This is a miracle!" —Melanie L.
