You’re going to be soooo grateful you had this mini “spray before you go” toilet spray and these caffeinated mints when you needed them most.

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 was at a training, and someone had something like this, and it was just a must-have. I have a work phone, my personal phone, and an Apple Watch. Also, it was just nice because the person that I was in training with let others use one of the pads. It’s rare that all of your devices go dead at one time. Ever since that and since I’ve gotten this, I take it to every training I have and offer it to people around me. It’s a nice icebreaker and a way to make friends in training sessions where you don’t know a whole lot of people. It’s also very handy because it always seems like my watch goes dead when I least expect it, so I highly recommend putting it in your daily bag." —The_Adulting_Lab

Promising review: "Great little pouches to help organize your purse or backpack. I use it for my makeup and a separate one for essentials while I am out and about. I love that I can see what’s in them instead of having to rummage around. Haven’t had to clean them yet, but that seems like it will also be very easy to do." —KR

Promising review: "This product is exactly what I was looking for. It fits well in my lunch box, and it's easy to clean. The box it comes in is great. I am able to keep my utensils separate from my food while traveling." —Meghan Evans

Pro-tip: if you keep a MagSafe wallet on your phone, you can slide this inside and keep track of them both at the same time! 

Promising review: "Life changing!!!!!!!!! I lost my wallet! I spent hours looking for it!!! This was repeatedly an issue for me with my keys, my work badge, my purse, my wallet, and the list goes on and on, so I decided to buy this and see if it would work. I have no words, this tile has changed my life!!! For someone who has severe ADHD, it is a must-have!!!!! You will not regret this purchase!!!!! It has relieved so much stress in my life! super easy to set up, just get. The minute I am a short distance away from my purse. I was driving off the other day, and it immediately alerted me that I had left my purse in the building. It took me two minutes to retrieve it; otherwise, I would’ve driven 30 minutes home and had to go back. Just get it!!" —Brilly

Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

Promising review: "Best thing ever. I work outdoors and I use this for my job. Doesn’t require lots of water either, but gets the job done. I actually bought it for my fishing trip and can’t wait to see how well it does." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These are our sneakers savers when it rains. They fit my husband and me, are sturdy but lightweight. Very good value for the money." —Lynnette 

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

I've been using the regular-size version of this for over a year now and I LOVE it! I used to use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these — especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. My teeth feel genuinely ~squeaky clean~ after I use this, too. 

Promising review: "This toothbrush is a new staple item for my on-the-go Invisalign bag. When I need to brush my teeth and don't have time to floss before putting my aligners back in, this brush makes sure my teeth and mouth feel clean and removes debris in between my teeth. The bristles are soft, this toothbrush is sturdy, and the different lengths of bristles help remove debris or help floss your teeth on the go. This brush also dries very fast in between uses as well." —V. Brown

Check out a TikTok of the motion sickness patches in action. 

Promising review: "Motion sickness can derail a trip quickly, so I packed these patches with cautious optimism. They delivered. One patch behind the ear provided steady relief through long hours at sea, even during rougher stretches. The strength felt just right. Effective without overwhelming the body or dulling the senses. Portability is another win. The patches are slim, lightweight, and easy to tuck into a carry-on or small pouch. Ten patches offer solid value and peace of mind for longer trips." —mzphine

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $7.59 (available in different size packs). 

Promising review: "Love this product! I work out on the go, so I’m always in need of a water bottle, but I hate carrying a big one around all the time. This bottle is a nice size to use while running/walking (lightweight and easy to carry), it doesn’t leak like most plastic bottles, and it’s easy to roll/fold up and store in a bag after you’re done. Overall, great design and functionality. 10/10." —LaMonica

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five colors). 

Promising review: "Look, writing a review for sprayable bathroom insurance is slightly embarrassing, but here we are. ​I’ll admit I was skeptical — trapping natural disasters under a layer of essential oils sounded too good to be true. But it actually works exactly like you hope it would. A few sprays into the bowl beforehand, and suddenly the bathroom smells like a pleasant spa instead of a biological hazard. ​It’s small enough to slip into a pocket or bag without calling attention to yourself, making it an absolute lifesaver when traveling or using a bathroom at someone else’s house. 10/10, dynamic peace of mind in a tiny bottle." —Brooke Mercer

Get it from Amazon for $5.91 (available in two sizes). 

Check out a TikTok of the multi-flashlight in action. 

Promising review: "This tiny, affordable flashlight is the most versatile light I've ever seen. It's small enough to disappear in a pocket. The dial-a-lumen brightness wheel saves battery by allowing you to pick exactly how much light you need fast, and the selectable multicolor LED mode is so handy! Use it as a travel light, swivel the clip for attaching to a shirt pocket or the brim of a cap, use the color wheel secretion to perfectly light your face during video calls, use the red and amber safety flasher mode while riding rental bikes or scooters, or place the magnetic base on the hood of your car for hands-free light for auto work." —Chris M.

Promising review: "A very cute, compact umbrella in a hard zippered case. Sturdy and well-made. It can be used to block the hot summer sun or to shield you in the rain." —Debi

Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in 12 styles). 

Promising review: "I have seasonal allergies and live in a dry home. I purchased this to help relieve scabs and pain from dry sinuses and frequent small nose bleeds. The gel stays put and does not drip. I was worried about that. The smell is very pleasant. I was busy with work, and a little over half an hour after the application, I realized my nose wasn't hurting! The scab had softened, and I could move my nose without pain. I had to apply it again after about three hours as my nose started to dry out. This really works, and there is no burning, dripping, or habit-forming medications." —Peggy Clo 

Skin-acidifying ingredients can help with odor; read more at Mayo Clinic.

Promising review: "I love these Lume Acidified Deodorant Wipes for on the go or between showers! I use one full sheet on each armpit, wait for them to dry, and then reapply deodorant. They're fantastic and work great! The price point is kinda high, but I love the usability, scent, and effectiveness. Will definitely purchase again." —DoodleMom

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. 

Promising review: "Love this hand sanitizer. I take it with me everywhere I go. Beautiful scents. Super fast drying time. Leaves my hands soft and smooth. Non-stickiness is the most important. A+++." —KD

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in five varieties, including the new Cotton Candy scent!).   

Promising review: "I am so impressed with this! It’s incredibly spacious without being bulky, and the foldable design makes it super convenient for storage when not in use. The material feels durable and high quality — definitely tear-resistant and water-repellent, just as advertised. The zippers are smooth, and the handles and shoulder strap are both sturdy and comfortable to carry. This bag has quickly become my go-to for weekend getaways, gym sessions, and even as an emergency carry-on. Amazing value for the price. Highly recommend!" —Stacy Floyd 

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 11 colors). 

Promising review: "I purchased this because I saw them all over TikTok. As someone with a chronic illness, I honestly carry around like 10 different pill bottles for 'just in case' situations. This little pill box is a great size. I love that it’s magnetic, and each little compartment fits a good amount of pills. It won’t fit a ton of Tums if that’s what you’re looking for, but the amount of space this has saved in my bag is amazing!" —Jasmin Salas

Note: Each mint contains 40mg of caffeine. According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. 

NeuroGum is a small business that specializes in caffeinated gum and mints. 

Promising review: "I've been using these NeuroMints for the past four years now, and absolutely love them. They have completely transformed my productivity — I'm not exaggerating. Coffee is great, but it gives me this high for like an hour or two, followed by a horrible energy crash. These NeuroMints are on a whole different level. The level of focus and concentration I get from these is incredible. I guess their caffeine/l-theanine ratio is ideal because I am able to code for hours with these. They first got me through college, helping me focus on my studies. Now that I work in software, they keep my brain running." —JetDriveSolutions

Get a six-pack with 12 mints each from Amazon for $24.49. 

Promising review: "I live in NJ and last year the state limited the use of plastic straws in restaurants, so often our only option is paper straws. I personally dislike the strange taste of paper straws and notice they tend to ruin any carbonation in a drink, so I bought this so I wouldn't have to use those. I keep it clipped onto my bag in its little case so I always have it with me, and it's easy to wash once I get home. Highly recommend to fellow paper straw haters." —Jordan 

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four colors and sets). 

Promising review: "I wanted a silicone band to wear at the gym and for travel, but wanted something different from the wide black bands that are so popular. This ring is cute, and it's so comfortable I'm not aware I'm wearing it. I may be back to get more colors!" —Lindajf

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes 4–10, four colors, and a three-pack) 

Promising review: "These earplugs are so good!! I had originally bought a completely different brand (because I was being cheap) and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. I found these Loop earplugs and decided to give them a try and I’m so glad that I did! They are so comfortable! Made from silicone so they are flexible and fit great. I’ve slept with them in all night without issues. The noise cancelling is fantastic! Now does it block everything? No, but I think that’s a good thing for safety reasons. They do block my husband’s chainsaw snoring and that is exactly what I needed them to do." —melanie98837

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in four colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!). 

Promising review: "We bought these recently and used them on a long plane trip and at Disneyland. They help with [our son's] anxiety and kept him from biting and chewing his fingers, something he does when he is heightened." —Amazon Customer

Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. 

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung

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

Promising review: "A friend of mine told me about these. Brilliant, I can't believe I lived without them for so long! I've been wearing all black on business trips forever because I got tired of stained white top syndrome. The three-pack is perfect: one at home, one in the office, one in my travel bag." —Cathy

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $8.97.

Promising review: "Recently took this to Bali just to have in case of an emergency, and thank goodness we did, because my partner and I got hurt and this came in handy until we were able get to a pharmacy. Nice and compact and has a lot inside. Great for emergencies." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I’ve tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" —Katie_0_Baker

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles).

Check out a TikTok of the taming wand in action. 

(It goes without saying that you don't need to lay your edges if you don't want to, but this is a handy option if you do.) 

Promising review: "I’ve tried numerous products for taming baby hairs, especially post-partum, and this is hands down the best thing I’ve tried. It also smells incredible! Love the size of the styling wand!" —Completely happy customer! 

"LOVE!!! It doesn't make hair greasy, it gets rid of my super frizzy hair, and smooths it down. Easily applied and the applicator is super functional. I love and will definitely buy again for the price! Super good look to it." —Devon Reid

BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products. 

Promising review: "Miracle worker. This stuff is seriously magic. I glide it along problem areas on my feet AND the shoes, and I hardly ever get blisters anymore. Cannot recommend this enough!" —Alexandra 

Promising review: "I have fine but thick, very straight hair. It is silky and slick, and almost every hair tie, clip, barrette, you name it, slides right out of my hair. If I put a ponytail elastic too tightly, it stays and pulls my hair and hurts. These clips are absolutely the most comfortable clips I have ever purchased, and I have bought more than you can imagine. They DO NOT slide out all day! I can't even feel it when I have one in my hair. They have a row of short teeth as well as small claws. These banana clips are just a little bit shorter, which I think looks better, and you still get the cascading sort of look, only better. I love the retro '80s look of these banana clips!" —vacuumlady

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.

Promising review: "I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." —Angela Leonard

Promising review: "Love these! They smell great but aren’t overpowering. Help with my deviated septum and work just as great as the extra strength tan ones. The lavender is usually my go-to, but this is a new favorite when I want a scented option." —Sara Mastapasco

Tower 28 is a small business that specializes in beauty products for sensitive skin. 

Promising review: "I workout a lot and have a very active job. I keep one in my gym bag and one in my work bag. I spray it straight after a sweat session and during my breaks at work. Not only does it keep my breakouts at bay, but it’s so fresh and cooling on hot days." —Nicole
