Promising review: "This thing is magical, and I wish I had found it sooner. Even the most stubborn of dog hairs that have been seemingly woven into the fabric of your couch are no match for the ChomChom. The satisfying click of the roller will have you ChomChom-ing every surface you possibly can while your dog looks at you in cold betrayal for removing his precious fur deposits. He plots revenge against this new nemesis, revenge that is doomed to fail from the start because the ChomChom is far too powerful. Meanwhile, you are transfixed by the serotonin rush filling your brain as your ChomChom fills with more and more hair, leaving a path of de-furred sofa in its wake. The dog barks in disapproval. You smile, finally sitting on fur-free furniture for the first time in a long time. Maybe you’ll even have friends over now." —Will

Promising review: "I originally ordered just one pack of these, actually having very low expectations as to whether I'd like them, the quality would be good etc. Well, they're probably the very best panties I've ever purchased from anywhere. They feel almost like100% cotton with a minute amount of something else. They are cool and breathable and fairly stretchy, though absolutely not spandex feeling at all. They hug and support, but have zero binding. They don't ride up on the butt cheeks, and the waistband doesn't roll. They are the most perfect in every way pair of panties I've ever purchased. So much so, that I ordered a second package immediately. The price is great, too. Highly, highly recommend!" —Jan Rivera

Omie is a Asian, woman-owned small biz that specializes in products that make everyday parenting tasks simpler.

Promising reviews: "MUST HAVE for busy moms packing lunches. I bought a box for both of my kids and I absolutely LOVE them. It has made packing healthy lunches and breakfasts a breeze! There are no longer a million containers and lids to keep track of, wash or lose. It is great with hot and cold items and the versatile thermos is so handy. The quality and use these get are well worth the money!!! I highly recommend this product!!!!" —Elisha Grossenbacher 

"Food allergy must have!!! Our son has many food allergies and is not able to eat hot lunch at school. This is a great option for us to be able to provide him with a good nutritious lunch. We love the fact that we can keep hot food and cold food together. Making our lunch time dreams come true!" —Nate A

Promising reviews: "Very effective during my round of golf. Texas heat can exceed 100 degrees and this is a valuable tool to help manage this heat." —marcus

"Great product and works better than advertised as it lasts a little longer than expected, even in the Texas heat. I used to look down at a putt late in the round with sweat dripping from my bill. No more. Have one in every hat now." —Garland Littles

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $25.98+ (available in other multipacks).

Each kit includes three adapters in different sizes to fit pretty much any bottle. 

Promising review: "Well worth it! Think of all the product in bottles you waste every year by not using something like this. It certainly covers the cost of this item! I love it!" —R360

Check out a TikTok of the DogBuddy scooper in action. 

DogBuddy is a small business specializing in pet care products including bowls, mats, and scoopers. 

Promising review: "I normally don’t leave reviews, but this is amazing! It’s easy to use and saves so many dog bags if you’re taking several dogs on a walk because you don’t need to open a new bag for each poop. It also makes the whole process a lot less gross. I would 100% recommend this for dog walks and even picking up poop in the backyard. It holds a lot more than you’d think!" —Joslyn Cavitt

Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: "I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions...I left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki

Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories. 

Promising review: "Crate & Barrel look for less. These look and feel very high end — almost like a thin crystal." —Lauren

Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in three styles). 

Promising review: "I have never been a big eyeshadow person, but have become one every once in a while. I've used this for about five months, and I am still on the first tube I ordered. A little bit goes a long way. You do have to rub it in; it is white. I can put my eye makeup on at 6 a.m. and take it off at 3 a.m. and it still looks like it was just applied. I bought it again because I am getting low. Can't imagine eyeshadow without it. Worth every penny." —Krisstina

Promising review: "I love these! Since I started using them my sheets haven’t popped off once, and that used to be a several-times-a-night problem I had because I toss and turn when I sleep. Thank you, TikTok!" —Gabby

Get a set of four from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors). 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has these and says, "I have been buying a new set of these every year since 2020, and they have kept my VERY blister- and chafing-prone feet snug and moisture-wicked on every single long run. They've essentially phased out any of my other socks, because they're extremely comfortable to boot. As a runner who often clocks in 25+ miles a week and often in some 'yikes!' summer heat, I cannot recommend these socks enough."

Promising review: "These socks are designed perfectly for running socks. The bottoms and toes are thick, the tops are thin, the lower heel is reinforced, the heel top has a tab that provides extra cushion on the Achilles where some shoes like to wear into you. The size is true to fit.  I've purchased many packs of these and they are the best I've tried." —SmokeyBear

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in unisex sizes S–XL and 12 color combos).

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica House

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $3.96+ (also available in multipacks).

Check out a TikTok of the salad scissors in action. 

Promising review: "These are sturdy and easy to clean. I use it for salads, veggies, and even to make chicken salad, as the food processor breaks the chicken down way too much. I looked for these when I saw something like them at a Pampered Chef party, but I didn't want to pay the price. These are sturdy, and lock closed when not in use. Would buy again." —Just Me

Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray learned computer-aided design to create the pads.

Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings

Get a set of two from Amazon for $16.99 (also available as a set of four).

Promising review: "I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was sooo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." —Angela Leonard

Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I have to clean it every three days or so since I shed like a dog. It's gross to pull all that hair out, but it's oddly gratifying. I can tell the drain is working better since I've been using this. I highly recommend it." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $11.65+ (available in five colors and a two-pack).

Promising review: "Finally got around to trying this stuff. Lived up to the hype, really a 'miracle' paste as it is effective at cleaning many things. So far, I’ve used it to clean my stove, stainless kitchen sink, and shower (doors and all), and it worked. Also got rid of a deep stain on my kitchen counter that Clorox wipes couldn’t get out. Picked up so much dirt, the microfiber towels I used got thrown away; I couldn’t see them being cleaned well enough to reuse. Seriously thinking about ditching all my other kitchen/bathroom cleaners and just using this because so far, it seems to do it all. And it’s not super expensive either. They’ve got another fan in me!" —sunsean

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman has these and says, "I recently received a pack to try and was surprised at how often I found myself reaching for them. While they can't replace a sponge (at least not in my cleaning routine because they're not as abrasive as a sponge), they are a fantastic paper towel replacement in most scenarios. I keep one in my kitchen and bathroom to deal with puddles on the counter and by the faucet, spills, and crumbs. As someone who buys sponges in bulk, I usually forget which sponge is the dish sponge and which is the cleaning sponge. Now that I have these dishcloths to handle easy messes, I don't have to worry about accidentally washing my dishes with the sponge that has bleach and harsh chemicals on it."

Promising review: "I heard about these on TikTok. I wanted something that simply absorbs my cleaner and what’s wet off the counter without streaking crap like most washcloths and sponges do. These showed up today sturdy and kinda weird. I sprayed my dirty, oily stove top with cleaner, got one of the square sponges wet, and started wiping up the counters and stove. Hot diggity dog! I love this sponge already! Cleaned up completely and didn’t require repeated passes. When you use it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Great product!!!!" —Julie 

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in 14 color combinations).

Promising review: "Last fall, I experienced a problem with gnats when I brought my house plants inside. I tried sticky stakes and placing vinegar and water on a plate to get rid of them. However, the gnats kept on coming back. I used the Katchy Indoor Insect Trap for four consecutive nights, and it completely eliminated the gnats. A bit pricey, but this product worked very well for me." —David C.

Promising review: "We have a small couch in our bedroom, and our littlest will sleep there sometimes and has had a few accidents on the couch, so now it has a urine smell. I honestly went over the couch about four times, and each time, the water came back up brown! After the fourth time, though, the urine smell is finally just about gone, with the exception of one small spot (instead of the entire couch cushion)! I quickly went to clean our ivory cushion dining room chairs, and I didn't realize how dirty they even were until cleaning them. More brown water! This is a great buy if you have kids and pets." —Family

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "What a great idea! I usually do just a so-so job applying nail polish. I have a bit of a shaky hand, which causes a less-than-perfect manicure. I have great nails, nice and hard, and I hated to spend a fortune getting manicures at the salon. For some reason, just having this little polish holder has made a difference. I don't have to move far from the bottle to the nail, which seems to do the trick! What a great little invention! I haven't been back to the salon since! I definitely recommend." —Cindy RN

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 10 colors).

Promising reviews: "This is a great TikTok buy! It's a really fun and easy way to clean the lint off of anything. The cleaning is also very simple. It might slow down sometimes when I do a big piece of cloth, which means that the spinning blade has lint tangled around it. You can remove that with tweezers. It’s really easy and satisfying. All in all, it's a great buy." —Edita

"This is amazing!!! I have a chair that when my cats were kittens, they shredded. It was brand new, and they destroyed it within six months. I live alone, and no one ever comes over, so I just deal with the chair with dreams of reupholstering it someday. I've seen articles for defuzzers but never used one and always thought they were for sweaters or things that have just balled up, not that had entire threads ripped out. A few days ago I saw someone's review for this one, used on loose threads, so I immediately bought it. It arrived today, and I used scissors to trim the threads. It was so easy to use and did an amazing job! I spent probably 90 minutes total doing my entire oversized chair and then spot-cleaned it. It looks brand new! I have my awesome chair back! I almost donated this chair a hundred times over the last four years but didn't want to part with it. Now I'm so glad I didn't. $12 and less than two hours of my time, and my favorite chair is restored. I'm so happy!!" —StormyMorning

In order for this to work, you have to soak it in water to soften it up before using it.

Promising review: "I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!" —Bryn

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three pack sizes and six color combinations). 

Promising reviews: "Dishwashers are inherently yucky. It doesn't take much to make them go from a washer to 'crud redepositor.' This deep cleans the inside of the washer, making it smell fresher and clean better. Just toss one into your empty washer once a month or so and you'll be good to go." —Shane

"Convenient, easy, quick way to keep the dishwasher fresh and working at peak." —Amazon Customer

Sonic Alert is a small business that specializes in alarm clocks. 

The "sonic" alarm is also great for people who are hard of hearing!

Promising review: "This alarm is amazing. The pillow shaker does its job to perfection. The shaker shakes the pillow just right so you don’t wake up startled. The loud alarm is loud enough. I wear a hearing aid to hear everything, and the loud alarm is loud enough that I can hear it without my hearing aid. Must-have for someone with hearing issues so you wake up on time every time." —Scott D.

Promising review: "Nice gift, especially for families with kiddos. And get one for you, too. We have one loaded in the basement with our emergency preparedness stash and one in the den where our electronics primarily live. So nice to have one central place to get what you need!" —debbie sharon

Promising review: "I have used every mascara on the planet (not literally but I have tried dozens) from the most expensive to the least. This little jewel is the best-kept mascara secret ever! Lifts and separates lashes with no clumping, and did you see this price?? Trust me, this is a must have for any make-up collection. You absolutely can't go wrong with this!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I saw this product all over TikTok and decided to buy one for myself because I hate using regular lighters. It has a very long battery life and works like a charm. 10/10 would buy again." —Abriana

Oh Yuk is a small, family-owned business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs. 

Promising review: "We bought a house with a jetted tub. I had anxiety about using the tub because I didn’t know what kind of germs and funk were in the jets. I ordered Oh Yuk before we even closed escrow. And when escrow did close, I got my keys and immediately used Oh Yuk in the tub. The junk that came out was soo gross! I ran it four times and now the tub jets are spotless. It was great being able to take a bath and not worry about someone else’s dirt and funk in my bath water. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" —Niki D.

Saucemoto is a small business founded in 2017 with a goal of designing and manufacturing world-changing products.

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life?!?! These are the BEST! Idk how many times me or my kids have dropped sauces while in the car and had a mess to clean up. These take all that hassle away. I gave one to my daughter, and her friend asked her, 'Where does your mom find all the cool stuff?'" —May

It's recommended to use this product on the ends of your hair (be careful to avoid your scalp) two to three times per week on wet hair after you shampoo. You should use one dose if you have fine to medium textured hair, two to three if you have thick to curly textured hair, and add one extra dose if you have long hair. 

Promising reviews: "Yes, I actually saw this product reviewed on TikTok and had to try it. It is amazing stuff, OMGOSH!!! I have already purchased my second bottle. I have a lot of hair, and it gets tangled easily this stuff made it soft and easy to brush after the first use. PLEASE be careful not to get it on your scalp it does start to feel warm almost like when you have had your hair color on too long, I just use it more towards the ends. Overall great stuff." —Jennifer Borchers

"I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would've thought this brand would work on my hair.  I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Samatha Wieder has this and says, "Back in 2020, my family made a wonderful decision to get an adorable Havanese puppy named Bailey (pictured left as a puppy in 2020, pictured right in December 2023). He slept like an absolute angel the first night we brought him home, so when he kept us up for six. whole. hours the night after and wouldn't stop crying the next day, we knew we needed to try something fast. A family friend recommended the Snuggle Puppy. Within a half hour of putting the little heart ticker into the stuffed toy and putting it in Bailey's crate, he was quiet and fast asleep while cuddling up to his new toy. 

Almost four years later, the Snuggle Puppy is still Bailey's favorite toy — we just don't keep the heart ticker in there anymore. He has an entire crate of toys he BARELY touches solely because he loves the Snuggle Puppy so much. It is on the pricey side for a dog toy, and he's currently on his fourth Snuggle Puppy because he's chewed off the ears and noses on the other ones, but seeing how attached he is to the puppy and how happy it makes him, it's 100% worth it. Truly cannot recommend this enough."

Promising review: "I wear it every day! I am shocked at the quality of this necklace. I try to take it off before I shower, but sometimes I forget, and it has held up beautifully. I wear it every day and night, and there is no tarnishing or turning my skin into weird colors. It is definitely worth the money at such a good price. I get so many compliments on it. I’m definitely going to try more from this brand." —McKenna Oancea
