Including a cozy loungewear set, a moisturizing lip balm, a bag of Lucky Charms marshmallows, and more things Amazon shoppers are wishing for right now.

I am a contributor and former editor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping since 2017, with a focus on beauty, travel, and practical products, and in addition to writing, am in the process of getting my master’s in speech-language pathology.

Funny story — in 2021, I had moved into my first apartment and treated myself to a Roomba, because well, I am not a fan of vacuuming, and it had been on my list for some time. I ended up returning the Roomba because, for the price, I wasn't impressed by it. It would constantly get stuck, vacuum the same few areas over and over, and well, I just didn't have the patience for it. 

While I would take some time to research a different splurge-worthy vacuum, I bought this inexpensive Bissell as a mere "get the job done" vacuum. What I didn't know is that this small, but mighty vacuum would become my beloved vacuum. For the price and size, this thing is quite powerful and impressive. I loved the ability to detach the vacuum part and dust bust, and it was so satisfying to see things like dirt and dust get sucked right up. The size is also perfect for anyone living in a small home or apartment. I was able to keep this in my laundry closet as it barely takes up room, which is just another great perk. Turns out, more money doesn't necessarily mean better quality (groundbreaking), and this wonderful little vacuum is proof of that. 

Promising review: "This is a fantastic, inexpensive vacuum cleaner with excellent power, ease of use, and storage. Also functions as a dust buster by snapping it easily off the handle. I love, love it and recommended it to two neighbors who also bought it. We all live in old bungalows, so no heavy carpets. Perfect for wood floors and area rugs. It's the best!" —Janet Murphy

Price: $34.98+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "This is my second time purchasing this moisturizer, and that says a lot because I don’t usually buy the same skincare product twice unless it really works. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft, hydrated, and smooth without any greasy or sticky feeling. I’ve noticed my skin has a dewy glow, and it works great under sunscreen and makeup without pilling. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts longer than I expected. If you’re looking for a moisturizer that gives great hydration while still feeling light on your skin, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I’ll definitely be purchasing it again!" —Suebeehoney

Promising review: "I absolutely love this little shoulder purse! It’s the perfect size for carrying my everyday essentials like my phone, wallet, keys, and lip gloss without feeling bulky. The quality is great for the price, and the material feels durable while still looking stylish. It goes with just about any outfit, whether I’m running errands or going out with friends. I’ve already gotten several compliments on it, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cute, practical everyday bag." —Lily Harper

I actually bought these a few weeks ago after seeing them in a colleague's post and was immediately sold. As a graduate student getting her master's degree in a healthcare field, caffeine is a lifeline for me, but I cannot drink more than one coffee a day without my stomach hurting, and I don't care for energy drinks. 

These refresher packets are AWESOME! All I have to do is add to ice water (which is so nice because I have to be out of the house EARLY) and they give me energy without the crash (or a tummy ache!!!). The flavors are delish (strawberry dragonfruit lemonade is my favorite), and I also appreciate that they're sugar free!

Promising review: "These are amazing!! Taste just like the refreshers at a fraction of the cost. Just like going through the drive-thru, except having them at home!!" —Andrea 🦋🌞

Promising review: "I purchased this coloring book because I love the mix of cute and spooky designs, and it did not disappoint. The artwork is adorable while still having that spooky Halloween-inspired style that makes it fun and different from regular coloring books. The designs are creative, detailed, and enjoyable to color. I like that there is a good variety of pages, making it easy to choose something depending on my mood. The pictures have enough detail to keep you interested without feeling overwhelming. The price is also great for the amount of enjoyment you get from it. It is a fun activity for relaxing, unwinding, or just taking some time away from screens. I think it would be a great choice for teens and adults who enjoy cute, unique, or spooky-themed coloring pages. Overall, we really love this coloring book. The designs are fun, the quality is good, and it is a great value for anyone who enjoys coloring." —Melanie

Promising review: "I think this is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made as a mom. I’ve used this machine for over two years now, and it’s still going strong. I use it several times a day, basically running almost all day long. I love this machine so much; it has honestly made postpartum 100% easier. I don’t have to worry about hand-washing my bottles or pumps while holding my newborn baby. I just put it all in the machine... I’ve never had a problem with the machine, and I have zero complaints. Yes, I do have to buy the little detergent tablets often, but I usually wait until they have a sale, and then I stock up. Overall, this machine is amazing, easy to use, and honestly, I recommend it to everyone so that their day-to-day life is just much easier and smoother. 10/10." —Leslie

Price: $299.99 (available in two colors)

Promising review: "These emotional support plushies are absolutely adorable! They’re super soft, squishy, and perfect for cuddling or squeezing when you need a little pick-me-up. I love the cute expressions and the fact that each plushie has its own personality. They’re also a fun, unique gift for kids or adults. Such a cute and comforting set — I definitely recommend them!" —Alyssa Show

Promising review: "I really love this two-piece set! It’s perfect for lounging but can also easily be dressed up for going out. The color is really pretty, and both pieces are comfortable and stylish. Definitely a versatile set I’ll be wearing a lot!" —Jenna

Price: $37.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 34 colors)

I can personally attest to how great these pens are. As someone who takes MANY notes in grad school for classes, clinical work, and studying, these are the only pens I buy now because I love how they write. 

Promising review: "These pens are really nice to use. The ink writes very smoothly, dries quickly, and doesn’t smear easily. They feel comfortable in my hand and are great for everyday note-taking, school, or work. The black ink is also clear and consistent. Very happy with the quality and would definitely buy them again." —Yuhan Ouyang

Price: a pack of four for $4.87 (also available in larger pack sizes)

Promising review: "A great reward for your cats. I have been treating my cat to these since he was a kitten. When he got outside, I managed to get him in the house simply by 'crinkling' the treat’s packaging at the door, and he came ZOOMing in! I appreciate the amount of packets in this box as well. Your cat will SO love them!" —JJB

Price: a pack of 40 for $26.99 (available in other flavors and packs)

I don't own this particular model (I bought mine on a whim while checking out at TJ Maxx, if I'm being honest), but I can't recommend a candle warming lamp enough! If you're like me and worried for any reason about lighting a candle, but still love the cozy scents/feel they bring to a room, these lamps truly provide the best of both worlds. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this candle warmer lamp! It has become one of my favorite home decor pieces while also serving a practical purpose. The design is modern and stylish, and it fits beautifully on my nightstand and living room table. The warming light melts the candle evenly without an open flame, so I can enjoy the fragrance without worrying about smoke, soot, or forgetting to blow out a candle. The scent fills the room surprisingly quickly, and I feel like my candles last much longer than when I burn them traditionally. The timer and brightness settings are a great bonus because I can adjust the intensity depending on the room or time of day." —Yevette

Price: $19.99+ (available in eight colors)

Promising review: "These look and feel so much more expensive than they are. The oversize square shape is very designer-inspired and instantly elevates even the simplest outfit. They’re lightweight enough to wear comfortably for hours but still feel sturdy — not flimsy like a lot of inexpensive sunglasses... If you love that quiet luxury look without the luxury price tag, these are an easy recommendation." —Megan

Promising review: "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I love that I can sear, sauté, slow-cook, bake, and so much more all in one pot — no extra pans needed. It heats evenly, is incredibly easy to use, and the nonstick pot makes cleanup a breeze. The size is perfect for family meals or meal prep, and everything I’ve made has turned out great. If you’re looking for a versatile appliance that actually gets used, this one is absolutely worth it!" —Savannah

Price: $129.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors)

Promising review: "I was initially skeptical about the lip‑softening claims of this balm, having tried many products that promised similar results. I chose the Guava Fresca shade, and one of the main selling points for me was the mention of a thicker texture. I’ve realized that the thinner balms I’ve been using, often marketed as alternatives to more expensive versions, require constant reapplication and have kept my lips in a cycle of dryness and flakiness. After using this balm for the past few days, I’ve found that it has real staying power and provides lasting moisture. The color on my lips is a bright, neutral pink that looks both subtle and fresh. The cool feel of the silver‑toned applicator is an added bonus during application. Overall, this balm hits all the right notes for me. The texture, hydration, tint, and applicator all work together, and the price feels appropriate for the quality. This has quickly become a product I reach for consistently." —HD

Promising review: "These storage bags are amazing and offer great value for the money! They’re made from durable yet lightweight material, making them easy to carry and move around. They fit perfectly under the bed, helping maximize storage space without taking up extra room. I also love that they’re transparent, so you can easily see what’s inside without having to open each bag. Overall, they’re a practical, convenient, and affordable storage solution!" —KAGS M

Price: $18.99+ (available in two sizes, multi-packs, and two colors)

Promising review: "As someone who always picked out the marshmallows in Lucky Charms cereal, this is my dream snack right here. Tastes just like the marshmallows in the cereal without the hassle of individually sorting." —productreviews248

Promising review: "I’ve tried a few different heatless curl sets, and this one is by far one of the most comfortable to sleep in. The satin material is gentle on my hair, helps reduce frizz, and leaves my curls looking smooth and bouncy the next morning. It’s easy to put in, stays secure overnight, and creates beautiful, natural-looking curls without using any heat. I love waking up with my hair already styled, which saves me so much time getting ready. The quality is excellent, and everything you need comes in the set. If you’re trying to cut back on heat styling or want healthier-looking hair, I highly recommend giving this a try. It’s become a regular part of my nighttime routine! 💕" —Brett Devine

Promising review: "This is honestly one of the most impressive cleaning products I’ve purchased for my home. I was skeptical before trying it because I’ve spent years trying different products to clean my painted walls. Most would remove surface dirt, but the stubborn scuffs, fingerprints, and mystery marks from everyday life always seemed to remain. This cleaner completely changed that. I’ve now cleaned nearly every wall in my house, along with trim, door frames, and other high-traffic areas. Marks that I had assumed were permanent came off with very little effort. Most wiped away after spraying a light coat and immediately wiping with any dry cloth. A few tougher stains required a little extra scrubbing, but they eventually came off as well. My walls are painted with satin paint, and the spray does not leave any residue behind and does not damage the paint finish at all." —Megan Day

Promising review: "I love this vest! I have gotten so much use out of it and have received many compliments on it. It is very versatile, good quality, and fits well. It's not too puffy like some other vests. I would definitely buy this vest again." —Toni

Price: $34.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 25 styles)

Promising review: "We’re huge Hatch fans in this house. We have the original Hatch Rest and just got this one as we are planning to move our 5-month-old into his own room. What I love about this upgrade: The big button on top is super easy to press to turn on and hold on to turn off. Obviously, my 5-month-old won’t be doing this on his own, but my 3-year-old is still using his sound machine, and the button is much easier than trying to hit the ring the right way, so just loving this for the future. I also love that the library has even more sounds and that they are grouped by age. I didn’t even know green noise was a thing! There are also added features like example schedules and helpful tips with wake windows and naps." —Ky

Price: $79.99 (available in five colors)

Promising review: "Absolutely adorable! Works perfectly on both my 16-ounce and 24-ounce cold coffee cups. It stops my hands from being cold or getting wet. It stops any of the condensation from making rings on my wood or leather furniture. I will probably buy several more of these because they’re so cute and functional." —Tiffani Stinson

Price: $11.99+ (available in five sizes and 195 styles)

Promising review: "This little desk organizer was the perfect solution for my daughter’s desk. She needed something to store her art supplies in a way she could see everything. The plastic is sturdy, and it rotates with ease. It’s compact but still feels like it holds plenty of supplies. I could see using this for makeup brushes and supplies on a vanity as well. This was less expensive than comparable items I’d looked at in big box stores, so I feel it’s a good value. I would definitely repurchase!" —KG

Just a heads up, the brand recommends keeping your dog distracted while the butter dries so they don't lick it off (aka a good time to give them a bone or a chew toy they really like). It's made with pure ingredients such as shea butter, almond oil, olive oil, and essential oils, so it's lick-safe (just in case your pup can't resist, it's just best if they don't, so it has time to work/soothe)!!!

Promising review: "My dog is on cancer meds that dried out his nose to the point of bleeding daily. This nose butter has kept his nose well moisturized and has finally allowed it to heal. It has made him feel much better, and has relieved some of our stress in caring for him. Definitely recommend." —Archer802

Price: $10.95+ (available in three sizes, scented and unscented options, and various breed packaging options)

Promising review: "What a handy bag. Whoever thought of this was on it! I had a drawer full of bags taking up space. Now this hangs in my pantry. Easy to use, holds a ton of bags, saves space. Now I have a drawer to use for other things." —GNV

While weighted eye masks have even less evidence than blankets do and very well may be placebo, they’re a similar concept to weighted blankets. You can read more about what weighted blankets help with and how from Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Man, I love this thing. This is the second one I purchased after an unfortunate incident between my dog and the first one I bought... While you might think the weight and fabric of the non-silk version would be warm, it's not. It's a gentle pressure and cooling combination that makes it so that I can barely sleep without it. It is just the right amount of weight and thickness to block light without making you feel trapped. I love it. If you are one of those people, like me, who close their eyes for 10 minutes and immediately pick up their phone, I *highly* recommend this." —JessKidding

Price: cotton for $38 (available in seven colors) or $68 for silk (available in four colors)

Promising review: "Glad I bought these. Been chasing the pet odor in my front loader for a long time using store-bought products, and never seemed to last long. These are great! The odor has become less and less each time I use them. Just pop them in the machine's clean cycle, and I have noticed a big difference already. Will buy again!" —Dominic Cape

Promising review: "Was looking for a way to extend my bathroom counter space, and this has been perfect. It easily folds/unfolds when needed. The silicone easily wipes clean if there is a spill. So far seems very durable. I've used it to hold makeup, skincare, as well as hair tools." —Kristin G
