Thanks to TikTok, you could have your very own banana hanger and this game-changing smoked sea salt.

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.

Check out a TikTok of the Febreze Trash Can Odor Fighters in action. 

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

Check out a TikTok of the Sunkissed Poppy Hand Soap in action. 

I am so very in love with this dreamy, floral, slightly sweet soap that I refuse to stock my kitchen with anything else. It's so fresh and lovely without being overpowering and feels so nice on my skin. I have to wash my hands a lot because of NYC public transit and diaper changes, but my hands are never dry from using this. 

Check out a TikTok of the crinkle cutter in action. 

Psst — reviewers warn that this is sharper than it looks!! It makes for easy cutting, but definitely make sure it's kept away from little hands. 

Promising review: "I bought this to specifically cut cheese. I love how easy this is to use. The cheese sticks a bit, but it is really easy to knock off the already cut cheese. I love it! Price is basically free if you want nice-looking cut cheese!!! The cut cheese really does look fantastic!!! You could easily cut other things like carrots, cucumbers, and other vegetables. So simple to use, and cheap!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a pack of two).

Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok. They're very useful as I tend to waste a lot of [soda]. It's easy to drink from and doesn’t spill." —MsLZ

"Where have these little things been all my life?! I got the original four-pack but since trying the one, I don't think I can ever drink from a can straight ever again! I'll be carrying these in my purse from now on. They are WAY better than your brain could ever conjure up from a photo. Just buy them, don't even think about it! Five stars, two thumbs up, highly recommended!" —Lirpa

Get a set of four from Amazon for $6.99. 

Fly By Jing is an Asian woman-owned business that specializes in sauces, dumplings, and spices.

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. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in two sizes and an extra spicy version). 

Check out a TikTok of the banana hanger in action. 

Promising review: "I recently purchased this folding banana hook hanger, and it has been a great addition to my kitchen! The design is clever and space-saving, allowing me to easily fold it away when not in use. It keeps my bananas fresh and prevents them from bruising, which is a big plus. The hanger is sturdy and well-made, ensuring it can hold a bunch of bananas without any issues. Highly recommend for anyone looking to organize their kitchen and keep their fruit in great condition!" —Challas Gordman

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in five colors and in packs of two). 

Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use.

Check out a TikTok of the scissors in action. 

Promising review: "This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." —Dawn R. 

Quick & Clean is a small business that specializes in coffee machine cleaning products. 

Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old, and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren

Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three pack sizes). 

Check out a TikTok of the oil sprayer in action. 

Promising review: "I really like this sprayer. The glass bottle gives it a slightly heftier weight than the all plastic variety, holds a lot of oil, and has an awesome spray pattern (sprays evenly every time). It's also pretty. The gold design on the bottle gives it a more luxury look. Fits my hand well, and easy to use. Would recommend." —Norma P. 

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles). 

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

Check out a TikTok of the sandwich cutter in action. 

Promising review: "I’ve tried three other gadgets that advertised that they make Uncrustable sandwiches, and this is the only one that’s made a perfect one. My kid’s sandwiches have remained completely sealed and mess free while eating. I bought this one to prepare peanut butter and jelly’s for a four day trip across country. Not a single time did I need to baby wipe my toddlers cause they were a sticky mess from jelly. I have made Uncrustables fresh and frozen to defrost later and it’s all stayed sealed. I absolutely recommend.' —Elizabeth Monroe

Get it from Amazon for $7.98 (available in two sizes). 

Check out a TikTok of the Bella toaster in action. 

Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! 

There are three reasons I love this toaster: One, I have a small NYC kitchen and very little appliance real estate. Two, I love love love giant slices of sourdough toast, and this is one of the only toasters long enough to fit an entire slice and toast it all at once. And three, it is VERY cute. I've toasted just about everything a person can toast in this gizmo, and she's done a great job every time. I can't believe how useful it is at this price point! 

BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly loves this too: "I didn't have enough space for a toaster before I discovered it from our BF Shopping stories! Before that, I was turning on the oven for a single piece of breakfast toast, which I think we can all agree was a bit silly." 

Promising review: "The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins, or bagels as well as a regular-width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color, which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don’t burn food, and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" —Joyce Hill

Get it from Amazon for $24.98 (available in five styles and two other sizes). 

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 

Check out a TikTok of the baby Stanley in action. 

Promising review: "Wonderful. Coffee stays a lot hotter in this cup. Great size. Matter of fact, it's perfect." —LaHoma

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in ten colors and larger sizes, which come in dozens of colors). 

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 am in my mid-30s now and know which products are best to clean certain things in my home, but when I was in my twenties, I most certainly did not. This was the PERFECT cleaning catch-all for someone who didn't know what they were doing. I used it on my caked-over pans, to clean the stainless steel sink, and to clean all the bathroom grime. It's also a dream come true for a renter, because it is super tough on messes, but never scratches surfaces or peels paint off of them. (Trust me — I had to use this stuff to get red wine off the wall once after I left a bottle on top of the fridge and it unceremoniously smashed all over the place. Did I mention I was a hot mess in my 20s??) 

Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand-new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT

Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in five sizes — and also available in a new SQUEEZEABLE version!!).

Check out a TikTok of the Staub bowls in action. 

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: "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

Check out a TikTok of the double-sided cutting board in action. 

Promising review: "This cutting board is perfect! One side is for meat, the other is for fruits and vegetables. There is no need for two separate boards. It's very stylish, made of sturdy materials, and easy to clean. It's so pretty, I just leave it on the counter, it does have a handle for hanging." —Jowana Lamb 

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes). 

Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink, and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup, and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here.

Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok. I was skeptical, as not everything that blows up works as well as they say. But after trying so many different sink cleaners, I was ready to give this a try. I followed the directions exactly on the bottle, and the results were instant. I will not go back to any other cleaner for my sink." —lexidan

Check out a TikTok of the Paris Rhone milk frother in action. 

Promising review: "I love my milk frother. So much better than warming the milk for my coffee in the microwave every day. All the settings work. If you want foam, you will get foam. My favorite part is that it heats the milk well straight from a fridge." —Gi.riri

Check out a TikTok of the BrüMate Rise Water Bottle in action. 

I have been on the hunt for a leakproof, "throw it in your bag" water bottle for a long time, and this is the holy grail of them. I've had this thing knocked off my couch and rolling all over my living room so many times now that I know for a fact it keeps its promises. I am the mom to a very curious little baby boy who likes to lunge and grab for things, so having this in my arsenal has been a total lifesaver in the spill department. I am especially impressed by how long it stays cold! I put my iced tea in here every morning, and by the time I wash it out at night, the ice is still perfectly intact. I also just love the sipping experience! The straw is very soft and satisfying to use. 

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in 19 colors and three sizes). 

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

Get it from Amazon for $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 

Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Crispi Air Fryer System in action. 

Each air fryer comes with the "PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! 

Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. It was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." —Jennifer 

Get it from Amazon for $152.95 (available in 10 colors). 

Check out a TikTok of the portable snack tray in action. 

Promising review: "This snack tray set from Crudites was such a great find! The quality is amazing for the price. The flexible lids make them super versatile, and being dishwasher safe is a huge bonus. I've already bought sets for my family and friends — they're perfect for picnics, work lunches, and storing leftovers. I can't wait to use them during the holidays for all the charcuterie and veggie platters. I highly recommend them!" —june

Check out a TikTok of the butter crock in action. 

Toptier is a small business that specializes in beautiful home kitchen products. 

Promising review: "I love this! It is super cute and keeps my butter fresh while also being the perfect spreading consistency. I don’t have to worry about taking the butter out and waiting for it to warm up. The size is perfect. Overall, very good quality and is easy to use!" —Hillary 

Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in ten styles). 

You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. 

Check out a TikTok of the Oxo Rapid Brewer in action. 

Promising review: "This is a well-made coffee maker, the big surprise for me is that the coffee I make with it tastes better and what I make with AeroPress and even Hario Woodneck pour over system. I use it daily unless I need more than one cup at a time. I home-roast my beans and have about seven different brewing systems. This is the only one I will probably buy a backup for, don't want to be without one. Bonus: it's a great travel coffee maker too." —RKParkinson

Check out a TikTok of the spice storage containers in action. 

Promising review: "I love these. I use one for collagen powder which sticks to your fingers when picking the scoop out of the bag. These are perfect so that nothing ever touches your hands. I like that the spoon height is adjustable to how much is left in the container as well. Loving them!" —Lauren Aguiar

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 BuzzFeeder 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."

Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. 

Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year, and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get-togethers with friends, and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack, but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $22.91 (available in two colors). 

Check out a TikTok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually, it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom, and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" —Desiree Barlow

Get it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in two colors and as a set of two).

I bought this like a decade later than I should have, and it is as miraculous as everyone says. I am a chaos demon with four different sets of cutlery mashed together that took up way too much room and were too disorganized, since they were different shapes. This streamlined them all in an instant and got me half my kitchen drawer back — and I'm in NYC, so every bit of room counts!! 

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen — only one of which I can fully pull out — and buying this organizer for it has transformed it. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around." 

Aaaand here's what former BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower says about it: "I use this in my kitchen! I have to admit...it hasn't exaaactly helped with organization. What it *has* done is created a neat and orderly spot for my utensils...opening up a ton of extra drawer space for my unruly stash of pens, bouillon cubes, drink flavor packets, and the like. Long story short — I recommend this for tidy and messy folks alike!" 

Promising review: "TikTok has done it again and made me spend money on unnecessary things. However, it was definitely worth it! I love the durability and space it saved me. Compared to larger and bulkier flatware organizers. Hands down, good purchase!" —Sierra

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "I don't know what it is about these, but putting one down my sink and watching the foamy bubbles come up is SO satisfying. Really scratches an itch that I didn't even realize I had. I read about these in some article about popular products on TikTok and wanted to try them because my garbage disposal had not been smelling super lately. They did not disappoint! Super easy to use and leaves the disposal smelling fresh." —Liz R. 

Check out a TikTok of the jar opener in action (or peruse BuzzFeed's review of the EZ Off Jar Opener). 

Promising review: "I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help in opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters. There was one person who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the 'V' closest to you, and with it placed in the front, in the right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions, and it works perfectly and easily. I have already placed an order for another one for a gift for my sister." —cat lover

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
