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.

Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. 

Here's why BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord *loves* these: I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! 

Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018

Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield

Promising review: "The Cinnamon, the crunch and the holy toast! When I tried this for the first time, I was transported back to when I was a teenager eating cupfuls (that’s right, who has time for bowls) of this cereal after school. I bought this “seasoning” (Is it a seasoning?) to add a little “pep” to my protein coffee shakes. Just a sprinkle on top and all is right with the world." —Nell Sisco

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

Read how BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord elevated her at-home popcorn-making game: "Our family unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm."

Promising review: "Great product. It’s salty, so using a couple of tablespoons to one cup of kernels is more than enough. Tastes just like movie theater popcorn." —Karla Ko

La Jolie Muse is a small business that specializes in candles and home fragrances. 

Promising review: "I will be buying this candle again!!! It’s an amazing pumpkin 🎃 scent and it lasts. Burns clean and the glass container is reusable…. And I will repurpose as a flower vase. It’s beautiful and smells GREAT!!! Packaged very nicely and well worth the price point!!! 🍂🍁🎃" —Saffron

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. I Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S.

Bambusi is a small business that specializes in quality made home products. 

Promising review: "Surprisingly sturdy and well made. Assembly and construction is excellent, and the accessories are quite clever. On balance, the tray is impressive and well worth its cost. A thoughtful gift, especially for anyone who likes to relax in the tub, but not without their accessories and a glass of wine." —Barry

Promising review: "I’ve purchased these slippers three times — one pair for myself and two as gifts, and we all absolutely love them! They are incredibly soft, warm, and comfortable, just like the pictures. The color is rich and doesn’t fade, and they’ve held up beautifully over time. The sizing is spot-on, and the memory foam feels amazing after a long day. The quality is much better than expected for the price, and honestly, they look more expensive than they are. I’m already planning to buy more colors soon! Definitely recommend these, perfect for cozy comfort and gifting." —Diana V

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

Promising review: "They’re comfortable, hold a charge really well, and actually work really well in terms of noise cancellation. My daughter can be sitting next to me talking and I can barely even hear her. I almost prefer these in terms of sound quality to my Gen 1 AirPods as well. Easy to charge, easy to pair, very lightweight, and fit is adjustable. I’m very impressed with these headphones!" —Samantha H.

I bought these recently because my roommate is a chronic door slammer. So to battle her very loud habit I bought these... and I must say I'm really upset with myself for not getting these sooner. They perfectly tune out the noise in the morning and I wake up so refreshed now. I also love using these right before I go to bed because I can comfortably lay on my side as I scroll on TikTok — and that has always been an issue with my clunky Bose headphones. Also, randomly, these have a microphone that are surprisingly clear so I have taken some calls with these first thing in the morning.

Promising review: "These are great! I've struggled with insomnia for the past couple of years. I wish I'd found these sooner. They are extremely comfortable. When I fall asleep, I rarely sleep for more than an hour straight. These allow me to comfortably play a podcast or meditation to get myself back to sleep. I'm only two nights in on using these, and I know I don't want to be without them. Battery life is great. I probably played them for a total of five hours during the night and woke up with them still having 70% battery remaining. I probably won't use these for a workout because I don't have to wash them all the time, but for insomnia or anyone who just likes to fall asleep listening to something, these are amazing." —Jesse Brown

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim, and I’m hooked. I love the timer and dimmer features. So far, the lamp works great. It doesn’t put out a lot of heat and I love that you can adjust the light. This is now going to be my go-to gift." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 15 styles and a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I bought one set and loved them so much I bought two more sets. They're the most realistic-looking fake candles I've bought so far. The 'flame' up close obviously doesn't look real, but from afar, with the flicker setting on, you almost can't tell these aren't real. They also put out a decent amount of light for being fake. It gives my living room a very cozy feel, which is what I wanted. Remote works great as well." —suckerforcats 

Get a set of three from Amazon for $22.09+ (available in five styles). 

Promising review: "I ordered this in yellow and it was beautiful! The size is perfect. I am using it at the end of a bed and it makes the room look so fancy and comfy.

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." —Djacobs103

Promising review: "Do these make me look silly? 100%. Does it save my neck? 100%... I’ve used them to read, watch TV, and play on my Steam Deck all while lying down, and my neck is very grateful. They take a minute to get used to, but once you do, it’s awesome. I originally bought them for my wife, but I use them more than she does." —Joshua

Promising review: "Got this for my dad and he had a great time growing these mushrooms! The instructions were really easy to understand and in no time we had mushrooms growing and ready to cook. I didn’t have a problem with the quality of them (they were better than store-bought mushrooms!) so I really would recommend growing your own mushrooms!" —Aliya Lika

It works perfectly and I absolutely adore its elegant look. Perfect for my morning coffee." —JAH

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 

Promising review: "Our old traditional pop-up toaster kept setting off the smoke alarm, so we wanted to get a toaster oven. This little toaster oven was just the right size and price. I usually only make one slice of toast at a time anyway, so why get something bigger? It is very simple to use, makes consistently good toast, and is adorable. I love the way it looks and its cheerful 'ding' when the toast is ready." —Julie

Promising review: "I’ve never done anything like this before ... but I like to try new things, and I’ve just recently moved and wanted to decorate my house with some handmade decor. This kit is a great value for the price! It came with the hoop, more than enough thread, and two needles! The printed pattern is very clear and easy to follow, and the little sheet of instructions on what stitch to use and how to do it is clear enough (and anything I don’t understand, I just watch a tutorial on YouTube). I’m about three hours into the project already, and I didn’t want to put it down last night." —Abby

Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in 11 styles).

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this! We originally tried this during the fall, when we found that going out for coffee each day was too expensive! This Torani pumpkin pie sauce is delicious, and honestly, it tastes even better than Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, plus you can enjoy the flavor year-round. It has a similar rich consistency as caramel, but definitely has that additional distinct spiced flavor. I like to add cinnamon powder to really amp up the spices. So tasty!" —David M Taylor

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

It’s like having the northern lights anytime you want." —Amy J Nelson
