Three words, y’all: whipped cream sunscreen 🤯. How do these creative geniuses come up with this stuff?

As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

Check out a TikTok of the marshmallow lip treatment in action. 

Promising review: "My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it’s not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn’t overbearing and also doesn’t keep coating your mouth like the Eos stick balms (still great, but more wax)." —Breanah Shirazi

Get ti from Amazon for $5.68 (also available in Strawberry Acai). 

Promising review: "These are so good, I have tried nearly everything pickle there is. Including the pickle slush from Sonic. This is my favorite pickle-flavored item. It is actually pickle tasting, and the texture is amazing. The thing about pickle-flavored things I have the biggest problem with is the salt levels. The salt is so overwhelming usually that it almost isn't pickle flavor, or it's just dill flavor, and I personally hate dill, but love dill pickles!" —Brenna H. 

Get it from Amazon for $1.97 (also available in a pack of three).

Check out a TikTok of the cactus dryer ball. 

Promising review: "This is my first time using these, and I'm already in love! I saw someone say these can catch hair, but I didn't know if these would really catch hair until I used them. They even captured cat hair, which is life-changing for me! 😄😻" —E & D

Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles and in a set of six). 

Promising review: "Super cute and great quality. Holding up well so far." —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.50 (also available in six other styles). 

Check out a TikTok of Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30 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 review: "This SPF was fun + easy to apply, super blendable, did not feel oily or leave a white cast + smelled amazing! I will definitely be repurchasing." —Anonymous 

Get it from Vacation or Sephora for $22.

Promising review: "Now I know why it gets a five star rating. Tactile, pleasant, nice three-stage variability in light, nice mechanism for shutting off automatically after 30 minutes. Sweet. I can’t think of anybody that wouldn’t like this. All age groups." —Susan C.D.

Get it from Amazon for $13.59 (also available as a slug or a pumpkin).

Promising review: "If you’re willing to splurge on a blanket, this is the one. My favorite blanket that I’ve ever owned. My dog and cat love it too!" —UO Reviewer

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $149 (available in three colors). 

Check out a TikTok of Murdle in action. 

Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" —Liz Gately

And did you know there's a Volume 2, Volume 3, and many, *MANY* more themed Murdle books — PLUS a Murdle board game!! 

This candle is made, of course, from beeswax.

Promising review: "I bought two of these candles, the bigger one and the smaller one. They are so freaking cute! They look and feel 100% like the pictures! My daughters and I had fun decorating the wax with the toy bees. I lit them for the first time because the lights went out, and I was scared at first because I didn't think they would go out; they 100% go out, and I was so relieved I lit some more and went to bed. I am just so glad I got these." —Melissa Gray 

Get it from Amazon for $39.66 (also available in a pack of four and a refill).

Handy Cute Art is a Florida-based Etsy shop that specializes in quirky home products. 

Promising review: "These are the cutest ever! My daughter ate these guys [a lot] growing up. Great reminder gift of her fave snack food!" —Teresa A Houtz

Get a set of six from Handy Cute Art on Etsy for $11.90 (originally $14). 

Promising review: "I’ve been looking for something like this forever, and it’s finally here :). Matte like a stain, but moisturizing and just pretty. I hope they never stop making this!" —SS71 

Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in 12 shades).

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Promising review: "Such a fun toy. They're easy to take to play with in a restaurant or while waiting. Very versatile. They can be made into just about anything. A fish, a bracelet, a rocket ship. They can be used many times." —Nicole Hadley 

Promising review: "Very very good, I love it. Smells like strawberries but not sweet strawberries. I totally recommend the strawberry girlies who like strawberries but not too sweet. I had no skin irritation. I think it was worth my money. Very moisturizing." —Sofia Ochoa

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in nine other scents, including the cult-fave banana). 

Note that this is a carbon *di*oxide detector (the gas you exhale every time you breathe), not a carbon monoxide detector (the gas that powers gas stoves and can be dangerous if there’s a leak). Read more about indoor air quality at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Super easy to set up, and it works! We set ours up, and after charging it and mounting it, the bird fell down. We opened the windows, and about 10 minutes later, the bird went upright. People have commented how cool it looks, going to buy it as a gift for a family member as well." —M English 

Get it from Amazon for $199 (available in three styles). 

Thinking Putty is designed by a small business that specializes in wacky-themed putty for stress relief and creativity. 

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PUTTY. I have quite the collection of Aaron's putty, and this one is great. It's purple, but in some light it turns green, which looks really cool. Sometimes it may even turn red. It's a soft texture, and there is quite a bit in the container." —Olivia

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in six styles).

BuzzFeed Shopping writer, Emma Lord, *loves* these and says: "Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!" 

Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $26.84+ (available in 18 flavors). 

Promising review: "I have had this spatula since 2022. I reach for this one consistently above all of my other spatulas, and also use this instead of a butter knife for spreading. I absolutely love this tool. I have arthritis in one hand from a surgery, and the shape of the platypus also helps with that. It cleans off very easily, and still looks brand-new." —Thomas Norton

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in three other styles). 

Check out a TikTok of the coat rack in action. 

Promising review: "I bought one and was so in love with it that I immediately ordered a second one. I love the design when not in use, and when in use, it is sturdy and versatile. I get a lot of compliments from visitors." —Femke

Get it from Amazon for $38.85+ (available in two options and four colors). 

Mindsight is a small business that specializes in calming personal care and decor products. 

Promising review: "I’m a yoga teacher and I started using the sloth light in my classes to help guide breath work. My students love it and find it very helpful as a visual aid so I don’t need to do all the counting for them. Love this product!" —Robin

Get it from Amazon for $23.95 (available with or without sound and in three other styles). 

Ban.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord, loves hers and says: "This vase is so quirky and ADORABLE — every time I see it in my living room, it makes my heart happy. I am on a mission to make my living room space as un-boring as possible, and this may be a small piece, but it's got a BIG personality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun piece of decor!" 

Check out a TikTok of the pill dispenser in action. 

Promising review: "So I am horrible about remembering if I took my pills. And I HATE digging into the old pill boxes or doing the tip over. I don't know what it is, but I have always disliked it. I hung this on my wall right by the kitchen, so I pass it like 5,000 times a day, and I can't not see it. It is so fun pushing the little orange button to watch the meds fall out. I mean it kind of feels like a really weird game of Wheel of Fortune, but I like it." —Grofica

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

Promising review: "Worked fantastically. My wife had doubts about how egregiously dirty and caked-on the gunk in our 15-year-old microwave was (she thought we'd need serious chemicals!), but with only one pass of using this, it got 80% of all the gunk built up. A second pass a few days later got most of the rest!" —Some Hyena

Psst — the maker suggests only using large eggs for the perfect fit. And it's dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "Bought this for a serotonin boost because it’s ridiculously cute. Little did I know how utterly functional it is. No more cracking eggs while dropping them into the pot, no more fishing them out, no more putting them back into the damp cardboard carton where they inevitably are forgotten right next to the equally neglected bag of spring mix. Just in the pot, out of the pot, into the fridge, where they cutely greet me every time I open the door. Gives me five seconds of joy every time. Highly recommend." —Kitty M. 

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (also available in a bear version). 

Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting. 

Promising review: "The light is nice! It’s a unique looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I’d definitely recommend it to others." —Carmelita Joy

Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in four styles).

Promising review: "BEYOND DARLING. They arrived and I giggled out loud. They are the cutest little things EVER. They make me SO very happy. They are well-made and high-quality. So glad I stumbled across these!!!!!" —Madeleinexo

Get a set of five from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in five other styles). 

Glam Globes is a UK-based Etsy shop that specializes in disco ball-themed homewares. 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has one herself and loves it! Here's what she has to say about it:

"It's from a small biz based in the UK, and while it did take a while to arrive (as I expected), it was *well* worth the wait. The light bouncing off the mirror fragments and onto my walls is just dang beautiful. Between the bottom tray and the space inside the globe (yes, the globe OPENS UP!), there's a nice amount of storage for bottles and glassware. And unlike regular bar carts, the things you keep inside the globe will actually stay dust-free. I bought the 'champagne' color (which is a nice neutral cream-beige), but it comes in tons of colors that'll go perfectly with your home decor."

Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $352.07 (available in nine colors on the brand's website and in seven colors on Etsy).

Promising review: "The durability of the toy is great! This has now become his favorite toy. We bought some other toys after this one, but he seems to love this toy more. The price is a little higher than that of other toys of the same size and style. It's worth the cost, though, as it has lasted about a week so far. The Longevity of the toy surprised me! He likes to work on a toy ’til it's destroyed to pieces. So far, this had lasted through the week!" —Digital Guy 

Get it from Amazon for $14 (also available in 15 other toy options and four sizes). 

Just FYI — a 12-piece set is six cups and six saucers, a 24-piece set is 12 cups and 12 saucers, and a 48-piece set is 24 cups and 24 saucers.

Promising review: "Perfect size and color — so cute! My cupcakes did not stick. I did NOT spray the cups with anything. They were the perfect size. Fluffy. Nonstick. Lightweight. I received several compliments. The cupcakes popped right out of the cups. This brand was perfect! I’m truly impressed." —Denise Mendez 

Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99 (available in white and pink and in sets of 12 and 24).
