It’s truly a menagerie of Nutella biscuits and stuffed waffle makers and chili onion crisp sauces in here.

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 put all of my coworkers onto this hot sauce. They love it. I use this just about every day, and it doesn’t tear my stomach up like regular hot sauces do, so this is my new go-to. I’ll have to purchase a new one soon, but I highly recommend it because of its flavor. Not too hot ... sweet/spicy, just how I would like my hot sauces!" —HeyMisterOfficer 

Promising review: "This pistachio butter was a hit at home. My wife and kids loved it — smooth texture, rich flavor, and not overly sweet. It tastes natural and fresh, great on toast or even by the spoonful. Definitely something we’d buy again." —José Rodríguez

Promising review: "Best tasting cookie ever. These are so delicious. I wish they were sold all year long. The best cookies I have ever tasted. My only complaint is that there should be more cookies in the package." —Linda Wyatt

Price: $4.97 (available in three other flavors) 

Promising review: "I absolutely love the quality of Graza Drizzle Olive Oil — it’s become my go-to finishing touch for so many things. Whether I’m dipping fresh bread or jazzing up my popcorn, it adds this rich, flavorful kick that really elevates the experience. It’s smooth, fragrant, and just the right balance of fruity and peppery. What really surprised me is how well it works beyond the usual savory uses. I’ve started drizzling it over ice cream, and trust me, it’s a total game-changer. The olive oil adds this silky, slightly herbal note that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the ice cream — definitely worth trying if you want to impress your taste buds." —Tori V. 

Promising review: "This dust is the best seasoning in the world. I use it on everything. I actually use this to season pork, don’t knock it ’til you try it. It’s really good to put on ribs. You can put it on waffles. You can put it on cereal, you can put it on oatmeal, you name it." —Sarah N. Donnie

Price: $8.97 (also available in four other scents) 

Promising review: "These bowls are great. I lived my entire life until now without owning shallow bowls. I’ve been eating spaghetti off of a plate like some kind of wild animal. My life is forever changed." —JessieMo

Price: $29.99+ for a set of four (available in two sizes) 

*wheezes in truffle* Okay, I bought this on a whim because there's a sushi place down the street from me that makes truffle avocado sushi rolls, and I was like, I need these in my life, but I also need money to live. I decided to DIY it with a regular $4 avocado roll, and this seasoning and the umami bliss of it all basically exploded my brain. Since then, I've tried it on eggs, burritos, potatoes, chocolate mug cakes, and pretty much every sweet and savory thing I can think of. The best part is you really get an excellent bang for your buck — it's so flavorful that I've been using this for months now and have barely made a dent in the container! 

Promising review: "I've already planned on buying my next bag. I was excited to try, as I love sweets 😅 and love cashews. So I figured this would be worth trying.  I sat and ate the whole bag as soon as I opened it. They were absolutely fresh and delicious!! I couldn't get enough of them. They weren't too sweet, honestly, they were just the right amount." —Destiny

Check out a TikTok of the chili crisp in action. 

Promising review: "Holy moly, this chili crisp oil is like magic in my mouth. There are so many flavors going on and just the right amount of Sichuan heat from the peppers. It's honestly perfection. I would say, if you're a beginner with spice, you might only want to add a teaspoonful (or less), but if you really like spice, use a heaping tablespoonful. I add it to my rice ramen noodles along with some ramen seasoning at home, and it's literally out of this world delicious. You have to try it." —Melissa D. 

Price: $9.19 (available in two sizes and an extra spicy version) 

Promising review: "These cookies exceeded my expectations. They have the perfect texture — crispy on the outside with a creamy Nutella filling inside that tastes just like the original spread. Perfect for pairing with coffee or as a sweet treat. The package comes with 20 cookies, and they all arrived in great condition, none broken. Definitely a great choice for Nutella lovers. I’ll be buying them again!" —Angie CZ

Promising review: "These are so freaking good! I really wish I had gotten more than one, or they came in a bigger bag, because oh my gosh! If you're questioning whether to get these or not to get them, and you like dill pickle flavored stuff, I would say get more than one!" —Felicia

Price: $3.97 (also available in five other flavors like apple cider donut and rosemary sea salt, plus multipacks)

Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones with scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" —Adirondackdarling

Psst — you do need butane fuel to operate it! 

Promising review: "This little gadget is really great for the price. It is pretty to look at and has a nice weight and hand feel without being too heavy or bulky. Easy to fill, just remember to buy your butane! Has a gauge to turn the flame up or down. The best thing is the ignite button. I have one of those long Bic lighters, and it takes two hands to get the thing to light! The Kollea torch is super easy! Great for someone who doesn't have a lot of finger strength. It crystallized the sugar on my grapefruit nicely and made it super juicy, yum! Looking forward to using it with my painting projects and other culinary adventures!" —SeeksTruth101

Kusini is a small business that specializes in kitchen products. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love fondue, and this made at-home fondue easy and mess-free! Warms up quickly and holds the perfect amount of fondue plus dippers." —Ruby Pagel 

Price: $26.99+ (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "Excellent. Love them. Just like the old sour Altoids." —Michael

Price: $17.75 (available in seven flavors or a variety pack)

I am OBSESSED with Maldon Sea Salt flakes — I love to put them in olive oil for dipping bread, on top of any chocolate dessert, on any kind of potato or cheese dish. Every time I think to put it on something new, my brain does a little high-five with my mouth. 

Promising review: "This is elite salt. Fancy without being pretentious. The flakes are perfect for finishing, adding that satisfying little crunch and flavor pop to everything from steaks to chocolate chip cookies and buttered sourdough toast. Yes, toast. Trust me. The tub is massive and resealable, which keeps it fresh and easy to use. If you’re into flavor, this is the salt upgrade your pantry didn’t know it needed." —Alyn Reads

Check out a TikTok of the smoked sea salt in action. 

Promising review: "The smoky sea salt by Maldon is the best by far that I have found. I love the crunch and flavor. I put it on my steaks and on my vegetables and baked potatoes, and top my scrambled eggs with it. I suggest buying two boxes." —Kimberly Yarbrough

I had the opportunity to sample these before the launch, and they are every bit as delicious as they sound. The Leite Cafe adds such a rich, milky depth to the brand's usual sweet scents and smells like waking up on a sunny, lazy weekend morning. The Leite Nectar really surprised me, because I typically don't like sweeter scents, but the coconut milk scent balances it beautifully and makes it smell creamy and bright. On a more vain note, the bottles are simply gorgeous. I love beholding them. 

Price: Leite Cafe for $26 and Leite Nectar for $26

Promising review: "Tastes like a churro 🤤. These are addictive, so crunchy and sweet. Portion size is perfect, lasts me a few days, but I just snack a little here and there. I feel like I should stock up in case they run out and don't bring this flavor back." —Gabby

Check out a TikTok of the Prepara Salad Pod in action. 

Promising review: "An awesome invention. I take salads daily to work, and it’s so convenient. Also the dressing at the top makes mixing salad so easy." —Adrienne Williams 

TBH, this stuff can be slathered on anything, but pro tip while you're here: Drizzle it on grilled cheese.

Promising review: "This is now a staple for my kitchen. How I cooked without it before, I'll never know. Makes the best vinaigrette ever and quick pan sauces for pork; plus, it adds unexpected zip to dozens of dishes. Does it come in gallons? Have given it as hostess gifts several times, and everyone gets hooked." —Martha Ronemus

Check out BuzzFeed's review of Mike's Hot Honey for more info!

Promising review: "I honestly didn't expect to fall in love with these as much as I did, but the Goldfish Vanilla Cupcake Grahams are on a whole new level of delicious! The flavor is sweet, yet not overpowering. They're light, crisp, and coated with just enough sugary goodness to keep you coming back. If you're a fan of sweet treats with a bit of crunch, don’t hesitate. Buy two bags — you’ll wish you had once you open the first one!" —TM

Price: $3.69+ (available in three flavors)

Promising review: "What a beautiful piece! IT'S GORGEOUS!!!! I can't say enough about the quality; the colors are just incredible. It's perfect for your portion of cereal, soup, casserole, mac 'n' cheese, ice cream, or cookies, and you can even put a beverage in it. I thought it was small, it's not large, but it can take a generous helping of whatever you decide to put in it." —Teri Breci

Price: $31.88+  (available in ten styles) 

Promising review: "I absolutely fell in love with this body scrub. The scent immediately reminds me of fall — it smells so good without making the experience feel overwhelming. The exfoliating particles are small and feel gentle on my skin. It doesn’t feel harsh or painful when I use it, which I really appreciate. My favorite part is how my skin feels afterward: clean, noticeably soft, smooth, and with that cozy fall scent left behind. I use it about 2–3 times a week, and I especially love pairing it with the Dove Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie body wash. I would definitely get this scrub again." —Dania

Promising review: "Super cute. I use these for my overnight oats, and they are the perfect size, leak-proof, and made of thick glass. I accidentally dropped one (on a thin carpet), and it was fine." —Zuni

Price: $14.99 for a set of six (also available in many other sizes and various sets) 

There's also 16 grams of protein in there, if you can power through the heat!! 🥵 

Promising review: "My new favorite soup. Big can, big flavor, and it has enough ghost pepper to leave your eyes watering long after you're finished. I'm going to be keeping a case on hand. Campbell's hit a home run with this product." —James Corridan

Price: $3.53 (available in other non-ghostly flavors as well) 

Psst — reviewers mention stocking up on these because they're SUPER cheap on Amazon, and hard to find in stores! 

Promising review: "Love the taste. I put it on everything. Ribs, pork chops, chicken, even burgers. They all tasted great." —Judy

Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. 

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Price: $26.99+ (available in four styles and in four colors) 

Check out a TikTok of the popcorn maker in action. 

Promising review: "This little popcorn popper is perfect! No fuss, no mess, no chasing popcorn kernels!! Fabulous! Easy to use — the popcorn maker part fits into the bowl part for easy storage. This is one perfect unit!" —Chrystal 

Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. 

Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.

Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works, and I love it, so money well spent!" —Amber

Price: $34.99 (available in nine patterns) 

Promising review: "Totally worth every penny! The base is a beanbag made of a soft yet high-quality material. The beanbag makes the table portion very comfortable and also conforms to your lap, sofa, or other surface, ensuring its stability. The stand itself is also very sturdy and easily adjustable. It does not get flimsy over time or loose, so you don't have to worry about it holding your Kindle or iPad and then eventually sagging. It can even be removed from the table if you wish, making the table even more functional for other uses. It is very easy to use, lightweight, easily adjustable, and strong!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $47.98+ (available in five styles) 

Promising review: "We’ve been using this every day for a week. It is easy to use and cooks food up nicely. Love the glass so you can see what’s being cooked. If you open the drawer during cook time to check on or turn something, it stops briefly, then when you push it back in, it will restart where it left off. The control buttons are self-explanatory. So far so good. We upgraded from our old Ninja model and really appreciate having more capacity to cook more food and to be able to cook two things at once. There’s a setting where you can have them ready at the same time, which is another nice feature. The glass is easier to clean as well. It was well worth the upgrade for us. We can make foods with no oil or butter that will still be moist and juicy." —Darling Dumpling

Price: $379.99 (available in three colors) 

The donuts cook within minutes, have an auto shutoff to stop them from overheating, and come with a recipe book that even includes gluten-free and Paleo-friendly options. Bonus? You don't even need to figure out how to make donuts — this machine will take store-bought brownie, muffin, and cake mix just fine.

Promising review: "I cannot say enough about the Dash Mini Donut Maker. It is so much fun to use and make donuts at home. Rather than going to the local chain donut restaurant, you can make your own specialty donuts at home. It is very easy to use and cleans up quickly. My children love to decorate the donuts after they are cooked. It's a fun family activity and the donuts taste great! Also, it comes with a neat design and stands out among my other boring looking kitchen cooking appliances. If you like donuts, this product is for you." —JoshH

FYI, you can 6,000% use these for brownies, blondies, and bread too.

Promising review: "As someone who has a child (now a teenager) that will not eat any form of cheese, this pan is amazing! I typically avoid making any food that has cheese mixed into it but now I can make him a section without cheese and the rest of us our regular cheesy goodness. Another benefit to this pan is how well the portions slice. One cut with the spatula gives you a perfectly formed square. Each section makes four regular-sized portions for our family." —TLC

Promising review: "As someone who has always struggled to cook the perfect omelet, I love this machine! It's so easy to use, and I don't have to stand over the stove constantly, it's especially good for busy mornings — you can just let it cook, and it comes out perfect each time!!" —Alana 

Price: $28.76 (available in eight colors and two sizes) 

Check out a TikTok of the bread bow knife in action. 

Promising review: "I recently purchased a bread knife, and it has become an essential tool in my kitchen. The serrated blade effortlessly slices through various types of bread, providing clean and even cuts. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, making it easy to maneuver. It’s a reliable and efficient addition to my kitchen arsenal, highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh, perfectly sliced bread." —Mykayla Stump 

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

Price: $38.37+ (available in three colors) 

Promising review: "Love this product. I prefer to make mini pancakes rather than regular pancakes, and it’s so easy to clean. The turning forks are perfect for flipping the pancakes." —Cindy C. 

Promising review: "I used these molds to create homemade Nestle Crunch bars. It was easy to load these molds. I placed them on baking sheets and banged them on the counter to remove air bubbles, then loaded into fridge/freezer. The molds are compact enough that they fit easily into my side-by-side fridge. I did not add any release agents to the molds before using, and the chocolate bars popped out very easily." —Keith G. 

Promising review: "These are so cute! I hosted a wine tasting at my house and the coasters fit into many different wine glasses. I had about three to four fairly decent size chocolates on top. These were a hit and everyone thought they were in a nice restaurant with the setup!!" —Melanie M. 

I'm definitely going to sushi jail for this, but I've started putting peanut butter in my avocado rolls. Don't knock it until you try it. Anyway, each kit comes with two sushi rolling mats, five pairs of chopsticks, a paddle, a spreader, and a PDF of instructions, including recipes for six popular rolls.

Psst — if you REALLY want to level up your homemade sushi game, I highly recommend adding this truffle seasoning on Amazon! It tastes so startlingly decadent. I've been ordering it for years to put on my avocado rolls and shiitake rolls when I order sushi. 

Promising review: "Received this the other day and the wife and I had our own sushi night at home...I did not realize there were two mats in the package which was a nice little surprise...everything is made of good quality materials, easy to use and a good fun activity for date night at home. I will be getting a few more as gifts for a few friends...good product, received it quickly and for the price you cannot go wrong." —Timothy J Stegner

Nuts 'N More is a small business that specializes in unique peanut and almond spreads. 

Promising review: "Amazing flavor, one of the best flavored peanut butters I have tried. I eat it by the spoonful without bread because it is that good, and I love that it has little topping pieces as well." —Tina Ray 

Price: $21.99 (available in six other flavors) 

Promising review: "This is a must-have. Best lazy bread-making experience you’ll ever have! Put everything into one container and then cook it in the same container! When you wash it everything slips off with no scrubbing needed. The brioche recipe rivals fresh bread served at restaurants." —FutureMrsBLW

Promising review: "Best way to make bacon!!!!! I will never cook bacon any other way. Bought one for me and one for my daughter. Buying one for my MIL for Christmas." —Amazon Customer

Price: $15.99 (available in three colors and two-packs) 

Promising review: "I just made two batches of butter, and this thing is cool! It is very easy to use and makes some fresh butter in minutes. You leave out heavy whipping cream for 6–8 hours (I live in Texas, and with our 'pre-summer' weather, it got to room temperature in less time). I added some flavoring to the cream and shook it until it thickened. I mean, it makes butter in literal MINUTES. This is worth buying!" —Sarah R. 

Promising review: "Edd Kimber is so creative with his bakes, and this book is full of fun and interesting cookie recipes. Love the flavors in this book...subtle and layered. Baking small batches is surprisingly liberating. Most ingredients are on hand, and I'm not stressing about what to do with large quantities of cookies. With small amounts, it feels easier to play and experiment." —Monica

Promising review: "This is so good I'm gonna try to make my own. I've had apple butter before, but the addition of caramel to it is something truly dreamy. It's very sweet, as is regular apple butter because of the concentrated nature of the product. Definitely a 'use sparingly' type product. I'm using it in a cookie recipe, so it'll be perfect. This is really, really good. Yum." —AmazonShopper 

Price: $14.95 (available in four other flavors, including maple pumpkin butter!).
