No chance of being unwhimsical when you’ve got this transforming “bouquet blanket” on your couch and a color-changing cloud light hanging from your ceiling.

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: "I really love this silicone drying mat. The size is perfect for my kitchen counter, and the wavy design not only looks cute but also helps keep dishes elevated so water can drain and air can flow underneath. The material feels thick and high quality, not flimsy at all. The design is honestly one of my favorite things about it. The wavy pattern looks so adorable, and the ivory color is beautiful, soft, and elegant. It matches my kitchen perfectly and makes my countertop look more organized and cozy. It’s also very easy to clean, just rinse it or wipe it down, and it looks new again." —Nutella Z

BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly uses a film similar to this to block a window in her bathroom but still allow natural light, and reviewers also mention that it's handy for pet owners whose dogs love to bark at things outside, and that they also used them to outfit the sunroofs of their cars to prevent glare!

Promising review: "I had no privacy in the evenings and was looking for an alternative solution that was not only effective but that would look good, too. After putting these up, I finally have some really effective privacy. It's so nice without everybody being able to see into my windows whenever they please at night. The amazing amount of rainbow effect that happens during the daytime when the sunlight streams through is so neat! My place is flooded with rainbows everywhere. It is better than I pictured!" —Sally Skeleton

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

According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.

Promising review: "This is the most beautiful and calming aromatherapy oil diffuser I have seen. This is incredibly easy to use and features various timer buttons that can be shut off at your discretion. I love to watch its realistic 'flame' effect. The scent emits wonderfully. It also looks beautiful in my home. This was a great value for the price and great quality." —Amanda

Promising review: "These tiny vases with super strong magnets are adorable!! They even arrived with a bunch of miniature artificial flowers, which I hadn't expected. I love these! They look great and hold tight on the fridge!" —Only The Best

Promising review: "So so cute! Perfect as a nightlight or decorative touch. It has two different light modes. It's small and easy to use. Bonus that it's dimmable in both modes. I was planning to give it as a gift, but it was too cute. I kept one and bought a second as a gift. Absolutely love. ❤️" —julie guleff

Skoy is a small business that specializes in household cleaning products. 

Promising review: "At 67, I can say I’ve tried all kinds of different scrubbers, and these are definitely the best. These actually work better than Magic Erasers. They don’t hold food like the common ones at the market. They haven’t held any stains so far, they just rinse off, and are eco-friendly but last forever. I’m still on my first one after eight months, and it looks like new. I’ve put it in the washer but not the dryer since they dry fast — and by the way, they don’t stink. This is my second order because I’m bringing a couple to my second home, and I’m going to include one in my camping gear as well. I’m definitely impressed." —SoCalToyotas

Check out a TikTok of the rainbow Astercook knife set in action. 

Promising review: "These things are SHARP! Lol. Nice, clean, easy cutting. Have zero problems cutting into anything. Watch those fingers! I haven't worked with such sharp knives in a while, and these will bite if you're not super careful. But I also like to sharpen knives after almost every use as well. Sheath is a must-use for safety. Very durable, handles well. I haven't experienced any rust, and they're comfortable to use. And the colors are a nice contrast to the bland everyday of regular knife sets." —Shawna

Promising review: "I absolutely love this corner lamp! It was very easy to assemble and fits perfectly into the corner without taking up much space. The design is sleek and modern, and it instantly elevated the look of my room. The lighting is bright but not harsh, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. I especially appreciate how evenly it illuminates the space — perfect for relaxing in the evening or adding ambiance without overhead lights. It feels sturdy and well-made, especially for the price. I’ve received several compliments on it already and would definitely purchase again." —Keeli

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Check out a TikTok of the moonrise alarm clock in action. 

Promising review: "This thing is the real deal. My daughters love it! They needed a way to wake up more naturally on school days — this alarm can be set to begin brightening 10 minutes before their alarm, and it’s helped a lot! Plus, they adore the beautiful moon nightlight with shooting stars — I do, too! This one seemed too good to be true when I ordered it, but it’s definitely lived up to the hype." —Emlefty11

Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" —Lindsey

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

Between my job on the shopping team at BuzzFeed and being a first-time mom, I have a LOT of packages to open, and very little time to do it while my creature "naps" (air quotes because naps clearly go against his baby religion). I am also very, VERY vain about my nails, so I refuse to open packages without some kind of blade. I ordered a pack of these a few years ago, and even though I have lost all but one of them (I am very disorganized, oops), it still performs as well as it did the day I bought it! It gives super clean cuts and gets packages open instantly, and automatically retracts when you're done, so you don't have to worry about putting it in a drawer. 

Promising review: "I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." —Amy Yasneski

Check out a TikTok of the flower scrubber in action. 

Promising review: "Love having this on my kitchen sink. It’s happy and cute and makes me happy. One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use but it’s still cute and I could’ve been more careful holding it. Not a super stiff brush but works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well and food doesn’t get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." —Hannah Jo Wilson

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "This little utensil is adorable, and quite practical. When I saw it on TikTok I knew I had to have one. You simply put a slice of lemon in and pour out the juice. It looks so pretty sitting on the table and comes in very handy." —Dian Marchese

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.66. 

Promising review: "So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter 

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 look, going to buy as a gift for a family member as well." —M English

Promising review: "This retro gumball machine is an absolute delight! It has that classic old-school look that instantly adds charm and personality to the room. The colors are vibrant, the globe is clear and sturdy, and the metal base gives it a solid, well-made feel. It works smoothly, dispenses gumballs perfectly, and is fun for both kids and adults. Whether used as decor or for actual gumball duty, it’s a fantastic conversation piece. If you love retro style and a touch of nostalgia, this gumball machine is a must-have. Highly recommend! 🍬" —Debra

Get it from Amazon for $30.24+ (available in three colors). 

Promising review: "I use this when I’m making hollandaise sauce. It makes a tedious task more fun — who wouldn’t get a smile when looking at a cute little daisy? It’s much more interesting than a boring normal egg separator! I love this company’s products — they bring fun into mundane tasks like cooking, cleaning, and more!" —Shelly Smithson

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

Check out a TikTok of the Paris Hilton heart-shaped ramekins in action. 

Promising review: "I'm in love, everything I eat out of them is more enjoyable because they are so cute. Also well packaged, arrived perfectly, and it's nice, heavy, and well-glazed stoneware. The nicest light pink color. To be aware, they are as wide as you'd expect but fairly shallow." —All

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It’s beyond cute and really great quality. I’m always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don’t want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can’t get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" —Abbey Klem

It’s lightweight, easy to hang, and instantly adds a dreamy, relaxing vibe. The RGB colors are a huge bonus; I can switch from calming blues to dramatic purples or party-mode rainbow with a click. Perfect for bedrooms, gaming setups, or just making your space feel unique." —Angel
