Check out a TikTok of the Volufiline plumping serum in action.

Promising reviews: "I’ve been using this serum consistently, and I’m honestly really impressed with the results. It gives my skin a much plumper, smoother, and more hydrated look, especially in areas where I wanted a little more fullness. It absorbs well, doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, and layers nicely with my other skincare products. Over time, I’ve noticed my skin looks healthier, more supple, and just overall more refreshed. A little goes a long way, so it lasts a while too. Definitely one of those products you have to be patient and consistent with, but it’s absolutely worth it!" —Amanda

"I am a 67-year-old woman, and I can honestly tell you that this serum is one of the most effective products I have ever used on my skin. It really does a beautiful job in plumping the skin. I use it every other day or three times a week for maintenance. Thank you to The Ordinary for formulating such an effective product at an affordable price." —Debbie Gordiany

Promising review: "This lil' guy looks so polite. 😍 Adorable!! I bought one for my mom and another for myself. Has held up well for the eight months I’ve had it, no chips, cracks, or any damage!! Very durable, and not sure if he’s microwave safe, but I’ve warmed him up a few times without issue. Holds a good amount of coffee too!! I put him in my dishwasher too!" —Victoria

HiccAway is a small biz specializing in this product, which was invented by Dr. Ali Seifi, M.D with the aim of replacing silly remedies for hiccup relief. 

Use it in a shallow glass of water, sip, and swallow immediately. Repeat this 2–3 times until your hiccups are gone. 

Promising review: "I periodically get hiccups that last for hours. Today I developed hiccups and tried this item for the first time. It worked immediately. Unbelievable, but true. Sip, don't draw a forceful pull. Just sip." —Marcella Snider

Get it from Amazon for $20.95 (available in five colors). 

Promising review: "We bought this lamp for the party, and the guests loved how just one lamp can change the mood of the room. There are preset colors to choose from, and everything was very easy to set up. A lamp can be used anywhere to set the mood you are looking for. It is pretty sturdy and should last for a while. We love this product!" —Daniel

Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (also available in an "upgraded" version and a basic, one-mode version).

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. 

Promising reviews: "Pure magic. This stuff blurs and conceals fine lines like I have never seen. Also stops me from being shiny and oily, but keeps skin glowy." —Tia C

"I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

Get it from Amazon for $25 (refills also available, plus a cute keychain case to attach to it your bag).

Promising reviews: "I received this on a Thursday with rather aggressively chapped lips. By Friday night, my lips were considerably less chapped and much more comfortable. By Saturday night, my lips were no longer chapped at all and very moisturized. While out tonight (Sunday night) I had a friend ask if I have had something done to my lips because they look so full!!! They are soft and moisturized and I feel like they have been revived from this cold dry winter! 100/10 recommend!" —Gordon S. 

"Best lip mask I've found in a while! I use it as needed as night or during the day and it has brought my super dry chapped peeling lips back from the brink when nothing else would. I’ve tried Bite's overnight lip mask (the OG mask was PERFECTION before they changed the formula), Laneige, and Burt’s Bees overnight mask. This one has by far been the best." —Molly B

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in a pink raspberry scent or blue unscented). 

Silver Buffalo is a small business that specializes in fandom-themed homeware and gifts. 

Promising reviews: "Super good quality. Very, very, very soft. Super good artwork, but keep in mind the blanket is thin." —Michael Warren

"This blanket is SO soft and SO detail oriented. This blanket is both light weight and cozy at the same time (very helpful when sleeping because it feels so soft for the skin). Both the front and back of the blanket have the design. I’d love if it was a bit bigger, but honestly I’m so satisfied. This blanket does not at all shed! The design is so cute and intricate, I’d definitely recommend it as a gift to someone. Quality over quantity for sure !!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 30+ other pop culture–themed styles).

This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. DO NOT put this in the water with you or place it somewhere where it can fall into the water or will get wet, but know that it'll be ok if splashed. Your nighttime shower mood lighting will be just as cozy with this on your bathroom counter or shelf. Safety first. 

Hear one TikToker's thoughts on the shower lamp.

Check out a TikTok of the wrinkle balm in action. 

Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after-feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!" —Kristy 

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six other formulas). 

Promising review: "Saw Urban Outfitters had a tomato lamp for $100 and said hell naw. But then this lamp came along from the Amazon gods for $30 and no way I could pass up such a sick lamp. Smaller than anticipated but is immaculate. Runs almost everyday/all day and has been doing great for a year now. After a few hours, it automatically goes to the strobing setting. Remote has never failed me yet (knock on wood)." —Samantha L.

Promising review: "Easy to use, easy to clean. Makes great waffles/pancakes. Heats up quickly and indicates when waffles are complete. My son loves to make these with me." —erin j. 

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight other styles, including Sonic and My Little Pony). 

Promising review: "Perfect gift! Looks delicious. The blanket legit looks like a giant tortilla. It is so soft and would be perfect for one of those lazy days on the couch. This is such a fun gift!! I got this for a friend's birthday gift, and he was thrilled. He eats burritos like four times a week, though, so this was too fitting for him. 😂" —shae

Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in six sizes and six styles, including a pizza version).

Promising review: "I got this keyboard because of its aesthetic. The look did not disappoint. Love it! Super easy to connect to my iPhone and iPad.

Promising review: "My best friend loved this for her birthday. She loves Halloween and tea, and this was such a cute and perfect gift." —Harley Nixon

Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit, and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in nine styles).

Promising review: "These have been great fun for the kids and adults alike. Lots of words, so it's a good value. These have lived on the fridge for over a year now and still provide enjoyment." —Brandon

Get the set of 797 tiles from Amazon for $23.09.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (available in two styles).

Promising review: "It's so cute!!! I've ended up using it so much since getting it, there are plenty of times I've avoided using my regular grater but didn't because box graters are so hard to clean. This one makes it so much simpler, and it goes perfectly with our DND-ish themed home!" —Natalie

Promising review: "True to size, well made, super cute and got a lot of laughs at the family gathering!" –Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in men's sizes S–6XL and in 10 colors; also available in women's and youth sizes).

Promising review: "This is both ridiculous and spectacular. It just might be my best Amazon impulse buy ever." —Meredith

Promising reviews: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" —Mimi Doherty

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.25 (also available individually and in a four-pack).

This contraption provides 360-degree support thanks to a wraparound design and clips that connect it to your seat's headrest. 

Promising review: "Just took a 15-hour flight with this travel pillow, and this was the best travel pillow by far. I've used inflatable and memory foam neck pillows before; the major problem is that they don't secure your head and torso, so either your muscles have to hold up your body, or your head and torso will end up swinging around, and both are disruptive to sleep. With this travel pillow, my muscles can relax, and the padded eye mask will hold up my head and torso. One minor downside is that the pillow needs to be mounted on your seat's headrest; if someone bumps your seat, it can be disruptive, but this rarely happens. Its size and weight are also much less than memory foam neck pillows, and I don't have to bring an extra eye mask, so it is very travel-friendly." —Sky

Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "These are a perfect fit and feel like I am slipping my feet into butter. They are airy and cool. I tested them out and vacuumed and mopped the house in them. No sweaty feet, no slipping on the wet floor. They can go with anything: Dress them up, formal wear, throw 'em on with cut-off shorts and a tank top, a sundress, jeans and a tee, anything, even PJs. They are shoes to travel in, fly in, and go to Disneyland in. They cover my whole foot, and I don't have to worry about missing the pedicure lady. They don't pinch, they are well-made, no threads or seams pinch or are stiff or give me pressure spots to cause blisters or soreness after hours of wear — it's like going barefoot. Get a little dirt on them, and they just wipe right off. I will definitely be buying another pair from this company. For the price, they are worth it." —hotmdc

Get them from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and in nine colors).

And here is the doorbell footage of that same TikToker during the actual break-in, where you can hear him very politely fighting the intruders off.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Gabriela Manjarrez says, "For years, I've been a running, cycling, and Pilates enthusiast, sooo my water bottle is basically attached to me at the hip all day long. And through sweat-filled workouts that leave me lookin' like a ripe tomato, this means I need a bottle that *actually* keeps my H2O cold and keeps it from leaking out as I'm on the go. After going through a lot of trial and error with all the most popular brands as well as some more niche ones, I've finally found the one! Seriously, I wake up at 6 a.m., fill my bottle with ice and water, and I can still hear ice clinking around in there by sunset. And the double-spout built-in straw is so comfortable and effortless to drink from — def a feature I never knew I needed in a water bottle. Keeping it forever, love love love it!"

BTW my colleague Sally Elshorafa also owns this and loves it. Check out her Owala FreeSip water bottle review!

Promising review: "This is the second one I have purchased. I love this water bottle for the ease of drinking. The built-in sipping feature is a game changer, and I appreciate being able to close the top and keep the mouthpiece clean, unlike bottles with exposed straws. Don't ever change the design!" —Jill

Get it from Amazon for $34.98 for a 32-ounce bottle (available in 29 colors and four sizes).

Plus, the zipper compartment at the bottom can be used for putting all your dirty clothes in, so they don't get mixed with clean items.

Promising review: "I just love it. I travel a lot. Now, I don’t have to hang anything up but my organizer. I can see what I pack and where everything is. Just love it. I can easily fit seven days' worth of outfits and three pairs of shoes in a carry-on suitcase. Just great." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "Bought it for an overseas trip, and it worked great. We used it both in a hotel room when the room safe was out of order and on the beach. I look forward to using it on outings this summer, and I think it will be a very useful addition to my travel staples. I packed in my luggage full of toiletries and sunscreen, so it didn't feel like it took up a ton of space, and I could carry it in my purse/tote without it feeling too bulky. That said, you can fit a lot into it." —laurel

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

You'll save money from not buying tons of different notebooks, and it'll help the environment by using a sustainable tech option instead of paper. Each notebook comes with a microfiber cloth and one black Pilot FriXion erasable pen — though these colored erasable pens also come highly recommended.

Promising review: "This book absolutely changed my life. I was thinking about getting a tablet because I wanted something that would eliminate some of my paper mess, would let me handwrite notes, and would let me have everything accessible from several platforms. This is so much better for those needs than a tablet would have been and is just a tiny fraction of the price I would have paid. The app works quite well, though it does take some practice and the right light to get the scans to be precise and readable enough. I like the FriXion pens and markers, they are about the same price as any other pen and write very smoothly. The pens do smudge if the ink doesn't have time to dry so this could be a hard set up for lefties in particular, but at least they are easy to erase and rewrite. I've used and erased every page at least a few times by now and though they don't look like new anymore, they still have plenty of life. The book feels very thin and light but is pretty durable and I'm so happy to reduce some of the weight in my backpack. All in all I am so happy I purchased this and recommend them to everyone now." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in executive and letter sizes, which have 36 and 32 pages respectively, and in six colors). 

Promising review: "If you’re looking for a beautiful wineglass that’s heavier than normal, this is for you. I love the weight and the look. I’m throwing out the thin and buying more of these!" —ladylucky08
