Now you’ll be the first person you know with The Nightmare Before Christmas sponges and this monochrome coloring book.

As a Senior Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed, I specialize in a broad range of topics, including beauty, cleaning, fashion, personal care, home, fitness, and my beloved “TikTok made me buy it.” My work has been featured across lifestyle and writing publications during my ten years in the digital media space, including Bustle, HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and The Washington Post.

Promising review: "It is so cute. Lego always impresses me with its quality of builds. I have the blue and yellow plant friends; it’s fun to have the matching pair of green and pink. It was a quick build. I like having it on my coffee table for guests or myself to fidget with, because they both rock — one goes side to side, and the other is front/back." —Julie

Promising review: "So totally awesome. 😬 I needed new Band-Aids — I’m always doing something ridiculous, and with these, so pretty. I have one cat that likes to let me know when she’s done with pets, and I have claw marks from her — not to mention my general clumsiness with gardening and cooking. Love them!!" —Mom the Handyman

Each set has a sample size of Moroccanoil Treatment, Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner, All-in-One Leave-in Conditioner, Mending Infusion, and Shower Gel.

Promising review: "I bought this set to see what all the hype was about, and I'm so glad I did! Every product smells amazing without being overpowering, and my hair felt noticeably softer, shinier, and much less frizzy after just a few uses. The travel sizes are perfect for vacations, the gym, or trying the line before committing to full-size products. Everything feels high quality, and a little goes a long way. This would also make a great gift. I'll definitely be purchasing the full-size versions of my favorites!" —Mary 

Okay, I'm gonna get real here: I typically don't love pumpkin scents or anything that runs on the "sweeter" side. But this Pumpkin Chai body lotion is the holy grail of pumpkin scents. It is somehow rich, warm, and light at the same time, and so perfectly balanced that the sweetness feels more like a top note than an overwhelming one. It smells strangely nostalgic?? Like, it smells like autumn personified, if all the best, most delicious, most cozy parts of it got combined. I am so picky that I was expecting to tolerate this at best, but I am going to mourn it deeply when pumpkin season is over!! And as always, this stuff packs a hydrating punch. My knees were super raw and dry for reasons unknown, but after putting this on twice a day for three days, they're good as new, and I'm not randomly itching them anymore. 

Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody who has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker

Price: $11.99 (available in four colors)

Promising review: "The texture is thick! But it’s a good thick. These feel so smooth on the lips and are very glossy. Currently my favorite E.l.f. lip product, over the Glow Reviver Oil. Smell is not overwhelming and neither is taste. I came back to order them all." —Khloe3

Promising review: "Had these for quite some time before tearing off the tags to wear them, and had so many compliments on them! I love them! Super comfy and fun." —Shannon Taylor

Price: $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 13 styles). 

Promising review: "Good value. It’s perfect. Great size. Fits the characters to a T." —Flaggirl 0710

Promising review: "I bought this soft toy to use on the desk, and I really like it. The material is soft, pleasant to the touch, and slowly recovers its shape after being tightened, which makes it very entertaining. The butter-like design is original and draws attention. It is comfortable to use, has no strong smell, and feels good quality. I use it to relax while I work or when I need to distract myself for a moment." —Camilo Hernández Almenares

Price: $7.99+ (available in a two-pack and in gold)

Promising review: "I can see why this went viral! So cute, easy to put up and adjust as needed. It’s bright enough to be seen from far away but not obnoxious." —KC

Price: $47.99+ (available in a larger size). 

Promising review: "This smells amazing! I'm a huge vanilla fan and already love Tree Hut products, so this was a win-win for me. The scent is warm, sweet, and lasts long enough to enjoy without being overpowering. I use it every night in the shower and look forward to it. The bottle is easy to handle, and the product pours easily onto a loofah without making a mess. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. If you love vanilla-scented body products, I definitely recommend giving this one a try." —Dorothy H

Promising review: "After trying many pairs of sneakers, I assumed there just weren’t any comfortable, stylish sneakers out there, for me. The Project Cloud sneakers are totally the exception; not only do they look great, but they are also so comfortable. Right out of the box, they fit and felt like everything I had been looking for. I absolutely love them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for that perfect pair of sneakers." —Teresa Barton 

Price: $39.90 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and ten styles). 

Promising review: "These gel eye patches have quickly become a staple in my routine, and for good reason — they deliver fantastic results. I've struggled with the appearance of dark circles and general puffiness, especially on days when I don't get enough sleep. After just a few uses of these patches, I've noticed a significant improvement. My under-eye area looks brighter, more hydrated, and much less tired. They're so easy to use and feel incredibly refreshing, especially if I pop them in the fridge for a few minutes before applying. Five stars without a doubt — they've truly made a visible difference for me!" —Shana Daniels Gardner

Promising review: "SUCH a great introduction to color by numbers! Lots of cozy, peaceful scenes to pick from, and the book size is great for carrying around with you. All you need is a small packet of Artistro black acrylic markers, and you're set! They don't bleed through either, thanks to the thick, one-sided paper. It's also super fun to slowly reveal the whole picture by coloring in only the areas with the 'O.' I can't wait to work through this one and invest in more of these books! Well worth the money if you want a relaxing new hobby!" —Sabrina

Promising review: "Great hair dryer. I have wavy fine low porosity hair that has been colored and Graves disease, which causes issues with hair. This dryer is fast, has great cooling air, and helps with frizz." —reader985

Price: $59.99 (available in three colors) 

Promising review: "This CD player is excellent; I can take it anywhere, it has Bluetooth connectivity, and the audio quality is very good!" —Gabriel

Price: $74.95 (available in six colors) 

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers.

I am a huge fan of all things Touchland, and this is yet another winner from them! The cotton candy scent is so whimsical and fun that I'm like, "Ooh, a little treat for my hands!" as a reward for wrestling my tiny feral son into a diaper change in a public restroom. 😂 My hands never feel dry after using it, and the thing I love most about this scent (and all of Touchland's scents!) is that I never feel weird spraying it in public — it smells more like a perfume than a sanitizer, so I'm not making everyone nearby go "ick!" from the intense sani smell. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this sweatshirt! The oversize fit is exactly what I was looking for — comfortable and perfect for everyday wear. The quilted Henley placket adds a unique touch that makes it look more stylish than a regular sweatshirt. The fabric is soft, cozy, and warm without feeling too heavy, making it perfect for fall and winter. It pairs easily with leggings, jeans, or joggers for a casual but put-together look. The quality is better than I expected, and it has held up well after washing without shrinking or losing its shape. I'll be ordering more colors!" —Nisha

Price: $23.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors) 

Promising review: "I love these! Halloween is my favorite holiday, and these are a great subtle way to show some Halloween flair. They are a bit higher than your average ankle sock, which I think is great and allows the design to show well. They’re the perfect thickness." —Carly Bee 

Price: $12.89 (available in three other styles) 

Promising review: "Absolutely in love with this jelly cream. My skin looks amazing — no more chafing and peeling, and it feels and looks 'bouncy' and glowing, it’s hard to explain. As for people saying it’s sticky — they must be using way too much!! It dries beautifully, not sticky. A little goes A LONG way. This little tub should last a year or more easily. I use it under my Tret at night too. Love it!" —Beachy1

Promising review: "This product, my drill, and the flat sponge type cleaning pad were the only thing that worked transforming this very dirty tub into cleaner than clean. Very little muscle power necessary. A little goes a long way. It takes off the worst of things and leaves a kind of ceramic coat behind. It’s amazing." —Glinda

Promising review: "Great lip tint that's buildable. It dries soft to the touch with no transfer. Lasts hours! Can be drying on the lips, so I put a lip oil on top of this lip tint — the tint doesn't budge or smear away. I'm buying more of these!" —Abelle

Promising review: "I’ve tried expensive ones from Sephora, but this one outperforms them all. The precision actually mimics real hair. This is officially my new holy grail. Maybelline never fails. Best drugstore brand, period." —CaliConsumer

Price: $14.99 (available in six shades) 

Promising review: "Bought this because I was looking for a smaller version of the Chom Chom. Works the same lint-wise, but the motion is different and easier for me because the handle aligns differently. Best I can describe, the Chom Chom has to go forward and backward, like away from and toward my body. This one goes side to side. And the smaller size is helpful." —Dolljrsw

Promising review: "Love this lemon salt. It tastes great on avocado toast. I’ve also added it to chicken piccata." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Kill Lash Superproof mascara from Clio for a few months now, and it’s honestly the best mascara I’ve tried. For context, I have straight lashes and deep-set, hooded eyes, so most mascaras either won’t hold a curl or end up smudging under my eyes after a few hours. Even tubing mascaras, which I’ve had some success with, don’t really keep my lashes lifted and tend to come off too easily. This one is completely different. It actually holds the curl I put in at the start of the day and keeps it there. I’ve worn it for 12+ hours, and my lashes still looked lifted, which is something I’m just not used to. Normally, my lashes drop within 30 minutes, no matter what I do." —Cirecy

Psst — BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly says this is so smudgeproof that it's a little hard to get off, so you might want to invest in the Kill Lash Mascara Remover, too! 

For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my "daily wear" jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it (particularly this gold-plated ring and these chunky gold-plated earrings!). Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets! 

Promising review: "These earrings are the perfect size and look for everyday and also dressing up. I packed these for a recent resort trip with my husband’s company, and they were perfect for plane travel, wearing with swimsuits, and dressing up for fancy restaurants. The price is really great for such high quality. The earrings didn’t tarnish from pool, shower, or ocean water. The clasp has never come undone." —Reilly S. Leonard 

Price: $13.95 (available in two finishes) 

Check out a TikTok of the projector in action. 

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing it on TikTok. I wasn’t sure how great it would be, and the price was a little high for me, but I bought it anyway. After getting it and seeing how badass it is I would definitely say it’s worth the money!! The lights are so cool and bright. My kids and husband love it!" —Shelby Fulford

Price: $29.74+ (available in four colors) 

Promising review: "This is such a great idea to have for hair during the summer or even living in a warmer climate. I put it in mine and my three girls' hair today before the pool, and hair felt great after washing. Highly recommend." —Alyssa Speaker

Promising review: "This set of shoe washing bags turned out much better than I expected. The material is thick, so the shoes don't move around, and the soft inserts provide a truly deep clean from all sides. I especially liked the self-locking zipper, which prevents anything from opening during the wash cycle or getting tangled with other items. I tried washing sneakers and lightweight trainers both times. The results were excellent, leaving the shoes looking like new. After drying, the bags retained their shape and looked like new, so they'll definitely last a long time. A great accessory that saves time and takes care of your shoes." —Amazon Customer

Price: $19.99 (available in three colors) 

Each set comes with Floral Bloom, Cedar Rain, Citrus Pop, and Vanilla Dream. 

Promising review: "I love these hand creams! They feel so nice putting them on, and my hands feel amazing after. I will definitely keep buying!!" —Debbie Perault

Price: $17.94 for a set of four (available in five different multipacks) 

Promising review: "I get so many compliments when people see this on my desk! What a fun addition. It shines brilliantly on the walls when sunlight hits it! So fun. I am gonna get the smaller version for my coworker for Christmas." —Gunsaw

Price: $6.99+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "It is so soft. Charges easy. Several light levels. This is so perfect for everything from babies' rooms to dorms to desks to hospital bedside tables. Price is spot on, and colors and animal options are great! On and off with a simple touch. It's a cute little size!" —Jess
