Produce saver containers, a dual breakfast sandwich maker, an automatic pet feeder — in the words of the great Sharpay Evans, *I want it all.*

Promising review: "I've been looking for something to help make tub cleaning easier and reviews on other products were bad. With this thing, once fully charged, you just put water and cleanser in the tub and it does all the work! No need for pressure and I love the different interchangeable attachments for getting at different surface. Seriously would dread cleaning the tub, bending over and scrubbing, now it’s so much easier and quicker AND cleaner." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "I have never known how to use a wine opener and I don't plan to! This is exactly what I needed, I have had it for about two years now and it still works like a GEM. The battery life is great, it's sleek, modern, and looks nice if you decide to leave it out. I always get comments from my friends about how they love it and how easy and cool it is to use, so it quickly became my top gift idea. Great gift and small kitchen appliance to own (hardly takes up any space) at such a great price!" —Emily M.

"I just recently started drinking wine and I had an old manual wine opener that destroyed the cork and got it in the wine. I thought I was just doing it wrong but as it turns out, it was just a bad tool. I splurged and got this and it has been a Godsend! It looks super sleek on my counter, opens bottles within seconds, and the corks aren't all torn up so I'm now collecting them for decoration. However, it is a tiny bit loud but it doesn't bother me. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a new wine opener!" —sleeplessinohio

Promising review: "I stayed at a friend's who made me a breakfast sandwich with this maker —it was so quick, easy, and good that I immediately ordered myself one. When it arrived, I used it right away. It is awesome. My 12-year-old kid can use it and it can fit quite a few items (English muffin, lunch meat, avocado, tomato and cheese). Be sure to follow the instructions and don’t put more than one egg in because it puffs up quite a bit. Honestly it was probably used 10 times in the first two weeks!!!! I think everyone who likes breakfast sandwiches should have one." —Shannon

Watch this parent's demo on TikTok.

Promising review: "For years, my kids have been dumping their Legos onto a blanket. Pieces constantly fall off and get lost, and it's a pain to get everything back into the plastic storage bin when they're finished. (And, of course, that job falls to me because they're too little to lift the blanket by themselves.) When this bin arrived, I dumped all of the Legos into it, and then gave it a try. It worked EXACTLY as advertised! I dumped the Legos out onto the fabric, then grabbed the handles and effortlessly dumped everything back into the bin. Now, my kids are able to dump out the Legos all on their own, play with them to their hearts' content, and then put them all away again when they're done. The border keeps most of the pieces on the fabric (a few escaping is unavoidable), and the bright solid color helps them find the piece they need more easily. They're able to put everything away without my help, which is awesome! Plus, when everything is put away, the bin tucks away nicely in the corner. It even matches the fabric/color of our large toy bin! I really wish I had something like this when I was a kid, but I'm incredibly grateful to have it now, as it's making my parenting life MUCH easier!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

These containers help keep your produce fresh by keeping moisture away. They're also designed with a special vent filter, which you never have to replace, to regulate the carbon dioxide and oxygen flow to your produce.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown tried these containers for herself, and, well, you just gotta read her full Rubbermaid FreshWorks container review.

Promising review: "I don't know how they manage to do it but these are fantastic and really make produce last so much longer! As a single person household I often struggle with trying to minimize food waste, especially when prepackaged fruit and vegetables are not portioned for one person. These have been invaluable in helping me keep food fresh and being able to make my groceries last. It just looks like a regular plastic tub, hence why I think there is magic involved. These are worth the investment, after a few weeks I already made money back in reducing my waste and extra shopping trips!" —Laura Dunn

Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved it. Looked for it online, and on Walmart they were about $150 for some reason?? Got it here, and I am LOVING IT. Things definitely look cleaner. Spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. if you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos

Ponyback is a woman-owned small biz founded by Stacey Keller who was annoyed with the hat designs the market had to offer soooo she made her own! This style is made from cotton and works for all hair types.

Promising review: "I am in freaking love with this hat. All my friends tell me how amazing it looks on me. I have been wanting a nice ball cap, but since I normally have my hair up, I couldn’t find one that worked till this came along on my TikTok, and I knew I had to get it. And I was so happy I waited till it was in stock again. I just love this hat. I wasn’t sure about the size but just went for a small/medium size since I thought that would fit, and it’s just perfect when my hair is up. I am so happy." —Naysa H

Get it from Ponyback for $42 (available in youth size S/M and M/L or women's sizes XS—2XL and 12 colors).

A plus is that this baby can slice through a potato BUT remember how sharp that means it is and BE CAREFUL touching the blades! You'll get five different blades including a small dicer, large dicer, slicer, grater, and a julienne blade.

Promising review: "Cooking has completely changed with this product. It's a must have in the kitchen for me now. It makes chopping and slicing vegetables/etc, wayyyyy faster and easier. The blades are VERY sharp, so be careful when using, I have cut myself just washing it. But it's great." —Helen B.

Promising reviews: "Like many people, I started with the Gwen Stefani 2000s trend of really thin eyebrows. Honestly, they hadn’t grown back since, no matter what I used. Until I found this product. I’m on my second bottle. It’s absolute sorcery, I don’t understand how or why or what’s in the formula but it does work." —Michelle

"Y'all. This stuff actually works. The first couple of months I felt like I was applying this clear magic liquid to my brows wondering if it's actually doing anything. Then one day, I got home and washed my face and for some reason, I couldn't get the rest of my eyebrow pencil off — IT WAS MY ACTUAL EYEBROW! I didn't realize how full they had gotten. I feel so much more confident without any makeup on and don't use nearly as much brow filler as I used to. I use it on my eyelashes too and they grew faster than the brows. Wish I would've taken before and after pictures. It's worth the money!" —Alyssa Glenville

Get it from Amazon for $38 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "I love this thing. One click gives you an instant, easy-to-read temperature. No loud beeps or sounds, just a little vibration to tell you it’s done. So easy, fast, and quiet, I wish I had found this two years ago!" —PickyCustomer

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising reviews: "I don’t know why I hadn’t purchased one of these sooner but I will never look back. No more 5 a.m. wake-ups 🙌! Fairly easy to set up, took less than five minutes. I love the simple design and it fits a three-pound bag. 10/10 recommend."— Amanda W.

"We use this to feed our cat so she gets reliable timing and portions. We no longer feel guilty if we come home late for feeding time! It was super easy to set up and has history on the app so you know what it did. You can adjust portion sizes of each of the feedings. We do three feedings a day, specify the portion size and time of day, and have never had it misfire or fail. It also notifies you when the food hopper is getting low. We use it every day so we have confidence it works when we’re occasionally gone overnight." —J. Daehn

Promising review: "This is the tool in our kitchen that I get excited to use every time! Years of using hand-crank can openers make me appreciate this small but mighty opener. It’s so simple, put your can up to it, hold the handle down, and voila! You now have an open can with NO sharp edges or twisted metal tags left behind." —Amanda

Crown Affair, launched in January 2020, was founded by Dianna Cohen. Crown Affair works with craftsmen and chemists from around the world to create clean and effective beauty tools and formulas. They donate a portion of sales to professional development initiatives and created a mentorship program called Seedling.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman swears by this towel for her hair:

"When I bleached my hair, I switched from drying it with a bath towel to drying it with a T-shirt because I read that my rough bath towel was too harsh on my already stressed strands. The one downside to my new method is that I was stretching out the necklines of my shirts :'( Enter this talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular towel. It's incredibly soft and dries my hair super quickly, which is great because I hate wet hair but would prefer to avoid drying it with heat."

Get it from Crown Affair for $45.

Promising review: "The sound is a lot better than cheaper white noise machines — it's more relaxing and fan-like. It is also awesome that you can adjust the volume and tone directly from your phone." —Sarah

Every time I brush my teeth it feels like I’ve just come from the dentist cleaning and not nearly as expensive! I love how it has multiple settings and pauses to let you know when you should move on to the next section! Worth every single penny!!!! I love brushing my teeth! It’s so easy and enjoyable!" —Terry

Promising review: "So I bought this originally for my son who has really bad allergies to dust. At first, we didn't know what was causing this, until someone told me to check our beds and furniture. Even though we change our bed sheets regularly, there will of course be dust left over. I decided to give this a try and they were right! I couldn't believe how much mites and dust there were. I took my time cleaning everyone's bed and our sofa, and this thing was easy to use and light. My son hasn't had a reaction in a while which means this product works for my family!" —Lisa

Fohm is a small business launched in 2019 by a husband-and-wife duo who, after traveling the world together, realized they didn't have to choose between dry TP or "flushable" wipes that are bad for the planet and your pipes. And boom — the light bulb went off and this genius product came about!

Your kit will include a touch-less dispenser, a cleanser cartridge, 3M strips, and a base stand. Once you have the starter Bathroom Kit, you'll just need to buy foam refills, which you can automatically have sent to your door every 6 or 10 months.

Promising review: "I was skeptical about this at first, but then I thought of all the wipes that end up in landfills. Or if you flush them, they can clog toilets. So I took a chance and got two of these, one for each bathroom. I don't regret it a bit! This is easy to use and saves money as well as being better for the environment. And it works like it's supposed to. I'll be ordering refills when the time comes." —Cathy R.

Promising review: "When we moved to a city apartment, I did not think about the difficulties related to grocery shopping. I soon discovered that having to transport groceries from a parking garage across the street to an apartment building via multiple elevators is no small task. The MacSports cart was the perfect answer! While I’m shopping, it’s folded up and on the backseat or down on the floor of my car. Once I arrive home, it unfolds with one easy shake and a push of the center into a sturdy, large, easily maneuverable cart. It holds over 200 pounds, and while I have never shopped for that much (yet?), I have certainly had shopping runs that included multiple packs of water bottles, soda cans, and canned goods that made me thankful I had an easy way of transporting all of those heavy items in one trip, not 10 trips. This is a sturdy, reasonably priced piece of gear. Highly recommend!" —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum, which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer

Launched in 2018, Buttah is a Black-owned small business founded by Dorion Renaud after a tireless search for skincare products that could effectively address his skin's particular needs. Every gender-neutral product is cruelty-free and uses organic ingredients!

Promising review: "Buttah has literally transformed the way I care for my skin. I used to not think too hard about what my facial routine was. My skin tends to be sensitive to breakouts so I generally kept it to a cleanser and maybe a moisturizer. Now, I do the cleanser, toner, serum and moisturizer and the improvements were instant. It's now been over a year since I started using Buttah products and this Vitamin C Serum has almost completely faded away old acne scars and dark spots to the point where you would never have known they were there. And the product is super light. My skin never feels overloaded, just fresh and clear and healthy. Thank you, Buttah!" —Jasmine A.

This baby can clean up to 11 bottles and accessories like teethers, pacifiers, and plastic toys at once.

Promising reviews: "Makes my life much easier!! I was washing bottles multiple times a day and then boiling a huge pot of water to drop them in to sterilize them. This is so much easier. You just put the bottles in, and it sanitizes and dries them for you!! I love the drying aspect, as I was wiping off all the bottles with paper towels every time I washed them. The cycles are either 45 minutes or 65 minutes. Way less time than waiting for a huge pot of water to boil and all the hand drying time! This is definitely worth it!" —soozer07

"Can't live without this. Perfect for a mommy on the run with a million things to do! Bottles are nicely sanitized and dry! Literally took some weight off my shoulders." —Claudia Emanuels Keel

Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in two styles).

It even has two USB ports 🙌🏽

Promising review: "It's a great plug that really allows me more flexibility than most other surge protection plugs I have found. It charges my iPad and my Android phone both at the same time just fine. Plus, the ability to move the plugs into a lateral position is pretty darn cool too. It keeps my dresser flatter against the wall." —David Garcia
