You just won’t be able to help your delight at this flameless candle diffuser or this decadent new “marshmallow” comforter.

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 absolutely love this mini projector! It’s compact, easy to set up, and the picture quality is surprisingly impressive for such a small device. The portability is a huge plus — I can easily move it from room to room or take it with me when traveling. The Roku interface makes streaming incredibly convenient, and everything works smoothly. Great quality, great size, and excellent value for the price. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a portable projector!" —Sebastian

Promising review: "I really like this trash can deodorizer because it’s easy to install, and each of the two scents smells lovely. Remember, you get two different scents, which spares you from having to buy a second scent the moment the first one runs dry. Each scent smells deliciously sweet and nature-like (it doesn’t stir up our allergies). The scent is neither too weak nor too strong. Plus, on the practical side, the size is perfect, the adhesive lasts a long time, and the product delivers on its promises. It’s a great choice and an excellent value for the price!" —Lynne Texas

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

Get it from Amazon for $74.95 (available in six colors).  

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 

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors). 

Promising review: "This oven cleaner works very well and removes grease and burned-on food with minimal scrubbing. I like that it is fume-free, easy to apply, and the pro-size can last a long time. Great product for deep cleaning." —Yaini Brigeo 

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

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 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

UMMMMM I have one of these in pink, and it is so snuggly wuggly woogly wonderful. Whenever I see it at the end of a long day, I am like, "YES, MY FLUFFY KINGDOM." My favorite part is that it's so snuggly that my 7-month-old creature (pictured above) likes to get wrapped in it like a baby burrito, so we can snuggle together. I don't think I have ever touched a blanket so deliciously soft and fluffy in my whole life. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love the Ugg Kirkwood throw blanket. It is unbelievably soft and cozy with a high-quality feel you notice right away. It arrives packaged really nicely, so it would make for the perfect gift. The weight is perfect, and it looks really nice on my couch or bed. It has held up well with no shedding and has quickly become my favorite blanket for relaxing. Definitely worth it for the comfort and quality." —Mika Fox

Get it from Amazon for $98 (available in 11 styles). 

Promising review: "I have owned this scrubber for a while now and waited to review to assess its durability. It hasn't disappointed. I frequently use cast iron to cook and take great care in keeping it clean and seasoned. This scrubber is great for getting up those stuck-on bits and pieces for high-temperature searing. With hot water, most of the time, it is all that I need to clean up the pan. On occasion, I'll add salt to the pan with a bit of hot water and scrub when more is needed to get it clean. I bought another for my son, who has commented on its effectiveness in cleaning up caked-on bits. It is a solid purchase for the price point as well." —Don Lomas

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Check out a TikTok of the Lulu Candle in action. 

Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice, strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). 

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.

This diffuser comes with two scents that vary by candle color, but you can try more scents on Lifeline's product page! 

Promising review: "I really love this diffuser! I have three in my house. It’s a great alternative if you can’t or don’t want to use real candles, and it actually looks really nice sitting out. It works surprisingly well, too — the scent definitely carries through the room and makes the space smell better." —CBE 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors). 

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

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $11.98 (available in four succulent styles, and also in sushi and ramen styles!). 

*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 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 

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (also available in a two-pack). 

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out, and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer 

Mellow is a small business that specializes in sleep products. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love my Mellow Sleep quilt! It feels incredibly soft, smooth, and luxurious against the skin, while still being wonderfully light and comfortable. The quality is excellent, from the beautiful fabric to the neat stitching and thoughtful design. It gives my bed such a clean, cozy, hotel-like feel and makes bedtime something I genuinely look forward to. This quilt is perfect for anyone who wants their bedding to feel soft, breathable, and premium. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and would highly recommend Mellow Sleep to anyone looking to upgrade their sleep experience. Definitely 5 stars!" —Betty

Get it from Amazon for $118.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page for this price; available in Twin–Cal King and four colors). 

Promising review: "Very soft and kinda lumpy, which works great for my back issues. I'm waking up in the morning with less stiffness.I highly recommend for anyone, as my very firm mattress was not good for my back." —Sheila Goodwin

Get it from Amazon for $54.98 (available in sizes Twin–King and four styles). 

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

Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in eight sizes)

Promising review: "This product, my drill, and the flat sponge-type cleaning pad were the only things 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: "Love these, they are so cute and I love that they are vintage-looking. I loved using my mom's growing up, so I just had to buy these when I saw them. They are Tupperware so they are well made and will last forever!" —JMReviews

Get the set from Amazon for $29.45 (and check out Tupperware's Vintage Collection for more styles!). 

Check out a TikTok of the Dawn Powerwash Spray to see it in action! 

I've lived on my own for a long time now, so even when I've had a dishwasher, it's made more sense to wash individual dishes and put them away. This stuff is SO quick and effective at clearing up grime and burnt and caked-on food (I am an AVID eater of burnt cheese). Now that I'm a mom, I love this stuff even more — Dawn Powerwash is surprisingly great at getting spit-up stains out of furniture and items I can't put in the washing machine (like the mesh on a hand-me-own Snoo!). A lot of parents swear by it for getting poop and food stains out of baby clothes, too. 

Here's what Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this spray: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use I on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well." 

Get the starter pack from Amazon for $8.44.  

Promising review: "I have had this product for about a week and love it. Water tastes fine and is saving me money by not having to buy bottled water at the supermarket. So in time this unit will pay for itself." —Texas dude

Promising review: "This is by far the best glass cleaner I have used. Wonder has no chance against this spray. I'm not sure why I haven’t found this sooner. I will never go back to regular Windex spray. Recommend it!" —Hadassah E. 

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $4.98. 

Promising review: "Confidentiality is everything in my line of work. I put this in my conference room near the door and set it to a low volume — just enough to mask conversations without being noticeable. The wall plug design means it's always ready, no batteries to replace. Sound quality is excellent — soft and ambient, not mechanical. My clients feel more at ease knowing their privacy is protected. Additionally, I have bought a second one for home use. I'm a very light sleeper, and have found this white noise machine to be an immense help in getting a good night's sleep. It has 30 different sound settings from white noise to nature, something to soothe anyone, plenty of volume, and a built-in direct wall plug. It also comes with a long USB cord, if you don't have a plug nearby. It also has a dimmable night-light. Because of its small, compact size, it's also great for travel, easy to pack, and take to a hotel/Air B&B, I've always got the soothing sounds I need to get some sleep." —Val

Get it from Amazon for $33.29 (clip the coupon on the product page for this price). 

Promising review: "These bowls are exactly what I was looking for. They’re well-made, the perfect size for snacks, dips, or desserts, and the ceramic feels sturdy. The colors are nice, and they clean up easily. Great value for a set of six!" —James Jordan

Promising review: "Feeling how soft the Squishmallow kids' toys are, I decided to try out the pillow for sleeping since I have yet to find the right pillow. This pillow is the best I've come across — perfect amount of head support and super comfortable. Even the provided pillow cases are soft and inviting." —TAP

Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and I can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods).

Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in different sizes).

Promising review: "This is one of the best coffee makers I have bought. I almost passed this up since I don’t think of Keurig as a high-end brand, but my last one was, and this is better. It is well designed, easy to use, and the pot pours well, never leaking. You have options for strong and cold brews, and the time to brew a full pot is remarkably fast. I grind my own beans; this uses a basket filter, and the coffee comes out fresh and flavorful. If I don’t feel like a whole pot, I have the option of brewing a single cup, which is super convenient. It’s not fancy, but it does the job beautifully, is a pleasure to use and clean, and is nice looking to boot. I am pleasantly surprised." —DCR

Promising review: "Very nice sound and light, and easy to operate. I love the light settings that look like flames dancing. Bluetooth sounds good too! The sunrise feature works well and actually makes waking up easier." —Nathan

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

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

Get it from Amazon for $29.74+ (available in four colors). 

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

Get it from Amazon for $349.99 (available in three colors).

The colors on the air purifier switch from green to blue, amber, or red to demonstrate the quality of air in your home. 

Promising review: "Compact and silent. This air purifier is powerful enough for my small room. I am not feeling any allergy caused by pollen now. I also have a 3D printer in the room. This air purifier can remove the burning plastic smell from the printer. The running noise is not noticeable; it won’t bother me when I am sleeping and working. For a small machine like this, I think it is worth the money." —TY

"This air purifier is amazing. I have noticed a huge difference in the levels of odors, dust, and dog hair. It definitely has improved the air quality in my home, and I feel good about knowing that it is working toward better breathing for my dog and me. It automatically senses when the air has changed in my home, and it goes to work clearing out any contaminants that might be floating around. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially people who have babies in their home." —Katherine Johnson

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

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

Promising review: "This is a very nice item that I am using in my small Florida apartment to enhance my decor since my hobby is growing indoor houseplants. It is the best-quality item I own. It's beautiful, the pictures didn't do it justice." —Sharon Boggs

Reviewers say to pay attention to the measurements, because it's smaller than they assumed! 

Promising review: "Charming and elegant. This looks so expensive. I gave it to my mother for her birthday, and she was quite impressed. She uses it as a place to put her rings when she is doing things in the kitchen. It’s the perfect size, and she was very impressed. I didn’t want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn’t that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?" —NMW
