Promising review: "I think this might be one of the best things I've ever bought on Amazon. I bought one sheet for my mom for Christmas, and they just came. She hasn't seen them, but I know they'll crack her up. They look fantastic. I'll definitely buy more!!" —Claudia Basile
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
3. A pair of prism spectacles if you have a boatload of work to get done but just don't see yourself sitting upright today...
Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd
Get them from Amazon for $12.58.
4. A variety pack of Reese's candies sure to please any peanut butter lover. The 30-pack comes with the classics (see: Reese's Pieces, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Reese's Big Cups) and a few we didn't even know existed (hiya 👋🏻 Reese's Sticks, Reese's White Peanut Butter Cups, and Reese's Take 5 Bars). 🥜
Promising review: "I ordered this variety pack for my husband as a Christmas gift. He loves Reese’s so this is the perfect gift. I was pleasantly surprised to see the how carefully this product was packaged. It arrived in a box that had insulation AND a reusable ice pack! The ice pack was still partially frozen so I have no doubt the product never melted. This was a huge concern as I live in South Florida and it is hot. I highly recommend this product and will definitely order again in the future." —Mstank
Get it from Amazon for $35.49.
5. A shower beer and wine holder because sometimes, a bath bomb just isn't enough. Real ones know that true R&R involves a chilled glass of sickly sweet Barefoot attached securely to your shower wall — not perched precariously on the lip of your tub.
Promising review: "My wife got me this as a Christmas present and I must admit I rolled my eyes when I opened the box. 'That'll never work,' I thought to myself. We stuck it on the shower wall that day and have had no issues since. It's still sticking some 60 days later and shows no signs of slipping. It holds beer cans and plastic pint glasses like a boss, and for those days when I'm feeling super bougie, I make a cocktail, dump it in a tumbler, and it fits, too! Shower beers will never be the same again!" —Morgan
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six styles).
6. A blackhead-removing toy you can pick and prod at with tweezers like you're performing surgery alongside your Grey's Anatomy colleagues. But for real, it helps if you're prone to picking your skin or pulling out hair when you're stressed!!
Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 17 styles).
7. A 10-pack of season 22 Hot Ones sauces with everything from Buffalo to The Last Dab if 1) You freaking love hot sauce and 2) Sean's interview with Amelia Dimoldenberg (of Chicken Shop Date) has become *your* Roman empire.
Included sauces: Buffalo Hot Sauce, Blistered Shishito & Garlic Hot Sauce (5,800 Scoville Heat Units), Spicy Sweet Passion Fruit (16,000 SHU), Los Calientes Barbacoa (33,000 SHU), Power Jab Hot Sauce (55,000 SHU), Whiskey Smoked Ghost (71,000 SHU), Tropic Star Hot Sauce (110,000 SHU), Evolution Hot Sauce (135,000 SHU), Zuzu 7-Pot (620,000 SHU), and The Last Dab (2,693,000 SHU).
Promising review: "When I got my pack I ordered 10 plain wings and tried each one in order. The first few didn’t really have spice, but did bring good flavor. The fun started about halfway through when the heat kicked in. My favorites are the Djablo, Los Calientes, Dawsons, and The Last Dab. Great spice and great flavor! I’ve started adding The Last Dab to soup and it’s a brilliant touch. It’s great that there’s something for all tolerance levels." —Veronica L.
Get it from Heatonist for $120 ($136 value).
8. A pound of cereal marshmallows if you're really only buying Lucky Charms for the charms (duh) and tossing away the rest. 😬
The delish treats come from Medley Hills Farm — a family-owned and operated small business based in Ohio.
Promising review: "Amazing! I put them in hot chocolate, Rice Krispies treats, other cereals, or just eat then by the handful. Impulse buy that totally worked out." —Maddison Helsel
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
9. A clever mug — that looks like a whole pot of coffee — if you're the type of person who's always glued to your brew.
Some reviewers even use this to store and display beans!
Promising review: "I bought this mug for my dad who just started at an office job. He absolutely loves it! He enjoys making dad jokes about drinking a whole pot of coffee in the morning. The silicone lid is great to keep it warm and makes it easy to drink out of. It's made of thin glass, so it's not as sturdy as a mug and it gets hotter, but it's great quality and made well." —tess
Get it from Amazon for $24.97.
10. A decorative cat towel that'll silently watch you microwave your day-old pizza or scroll TikTok on the toilet.
Promising review: "I did not buy this to actually use as a towel. To me it doesn’t seem like it would be good at serving this purpose as the material is not very absorbent, however it is great for decoration purposes. It is really, really adorable! I love how there’s little snap buttons to keep it in place. I highly recommend this as a decorative gift for the cat lover in your life or for yourself if you love kitties! Great purchase!" —Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 33 designs).
11. An adorable mushroom nightlight, because no matter your age, the dark can be a scary thing — especially when you're stealthily sneaking into the kitchen to grab a midnight snack.
12. A hands-free Bluetooth remote so you can read an e-book or scroll through TikTok without even having to *touch* your Kindle or phone.
It's also great to use while scrolling in the bath so you don't get your phone wet — check it out in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "The best purchase. Honestly, this is the coolest; it’s lightweight, and it’s easy. I’m glad I bought it." —Justine Laviolette
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
13. A Saucemoto dip clip ready to hold the single most important part of your takeaway meal: CONDIMENTS. 🙌🏻 With this resourceful car vent caddy, you'll never have to eat a dry road fry or nugget again!
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "This is the best invention ever! I’m a sauce queen and this allows me to have sauce in my car without wasting it! Whoever invented this knows my love language!" —Quintana
Get set of two from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors and packs of 2, 4, 6, and 10).
14. A pair of LED lightsaber chopsticks sure to inspire a lil' food fight. Though I'm talking a fake one, of course, because sushi is too expensive for you to be throwing anywhere other than down your gullet.
Here's more from BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord:
"As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T. Redwood
Get two pairs from Amazon for $10.97+ (available individually or in sets of two, three, or four and in 10 colors).
15. A microwaveable, lavender-scented weighted plushie that'll come in clutch whenever you're dealing with a bout of anxiety, braving a really bad tummy ache, or could just use a warm embrace.
Promising reviews: "This product changed my life. Seriously, I never knew I could love an inanimate object so much. His heavy body is so comforting, at the end of the day all I want is a hug. He even helped me quit nicotine. Instead of reaching for the Juul, I would reach for his big belly instead. I'm not even joking. This guy is the best thing I have ever spent my money on. Do yourself a favor and get a Warmie." —Bryan & Dana
"I bought this for cramps and the occasional aches and pains. He is absolutely perfect. He is so cute and adorable and I find myself reaching for him even when I am not in pain. He’s so snuggly and perfect to cuddle up with and is great for anxiety." —Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
16. A mini waffle maker because it's just too dang cute, you know?? And in the words of Leslie Knope, “We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn't matter, but work is third.”
Promising review: "I LOVE this waffle maker, I don’t know how I’ve lived this long without it, I made waffles and eggs over easy this morning and it all came out PERFECT, the eggs??? Were pumpkin shaped??? And SO CUTE and PERFECTLY COOKED." —Mahaila
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 17 colors/designs).
17. A pack of four "licorice" (they're actually silicone) straws that'll make sipping anything — even plain ol' tap water — much more fun.
Promising review: "Now that reusable straws are becoming more and more popular, especially where we live in California, I figured it would be great to have a little fun. These are great for kids as well as adults, and they work really well! I will certainly be ordering them again." —Joshua Epstein
Get them from Amazon for $10.49.
18. A snack fork if your go-to midnight snack isn't peanut butter or Ben and Jerry's, but a crunchy, slippery lil' cornichon that's hard to wrangle with just your fingers.
19. A "Yes Chef" hat for anyone who's still talking nonstop about The Bear and/or Jeremy Allen White. (I'm guilty of the latter.)
Where'd U Get That Hat is a small business based in Washington, DC that sells embroidered hats. This cap is sure to get any wanna-be chef fired up in the kitchen.
Promising review: "High-quality hat exactly as pictured! Comfortable and adjustable. Perfect for loafing on the couch and watching The Bear." —Zoe Fisher
Get it from Where'd U Get That Hat on Etsy for $18 (available in 14 hat colors and 11 thread colors).
20. A gooseneck tablet and phone stand you can hook up to your bed frame or nightstand so you can mindlessly scroll TikTok — look, Ma, no hands! — while Netflix also plays in the background. 😈
Promising review: "My girlfriend and I will occasionally watch a show/movie on our Kindle Fire before going to bed, and holding the Kindle while trying to fall asleep was obviously impossible. This holder attachment has been the perfect solution! The clamp expands to a surprisingly large distance, and I had no problem clipping to the headboard of our bed. Really happy with this purchase!" —Jim H.
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in black and white).
21. An ugly Renaissance cats calendar that'll straight up make you LOL on the first of every month when you flip to see what 16th-century painters thought a cat looked like???
Decor Hardcore is a small business based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Promising review: "My brother, sister, and I decided to buy fun esoteric calendars for each other for Hanukkah. My sister is a huge cat lover and this made her day. 100 out of 10 would buy again!" —Gwendy7769
Get it from Decor Hardcore on Etsy for $34.63 (originally $38.48; available in two sizes; there's also an ugly Renaissance dog paintings version).
22. An easy, breezy egg poacher sure to make breakfast feel like less of a chore.
See how it works in this TikTok from @ototo_design.
Promising reviews: "Works just as I expected. I like it! When it starts to sink, keep an eye out for that. It means it's ready. Mine always come out good." —Eric
"A fantastic little thingy! The main trick is to use BUTTER, not oil, otherwise the egg sticks to the bottom. Eggs Benny, here I come!" —Andrey M.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
23. A winged eyeliner stamp for those who LOVE the look of winged liner, but can't help but shake like a leaf when attempting to paint them on. Now, you can stamp 'em on and call it a day.
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "This is the best invention EVER! I have a scar at the corner of my eye that made applying liquid liner impossible because of the uneven surface. This stamp goes right over the scar perfectly and I have perfect winged liner in seconds! Truly amazing. I'll be using this forever!" —Christine
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three styles).
24. An outrageously extra strawberry toilet seat that proves bathrooms don't have to be boring.
Promising review: "Okay, when I tell you I themed my ENTIRE bathroom for this toilet seat I am not exaggerating. My bathroom is still a work in progress, but the seat really ties everything together. I have never seen a seat nearly as cute as this one. I really look forward to pooping everyday!!! It's very high quality and sturdy. The lid has some resistance so it doesn't slam down which is great. The colors are vibrant, and the seat is pretty comfortable! Anytime someone goes into my bathroom they scream with excitement and laugh and that's JUST the reaction I wanted. I love this seat SO much." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in 25 designs).
25. A versatile Our Place Dream Cooker that can slow cook, sear, saute, and pressure cook all of the hearty recipes you're whipping up this winter. Mac 'n' cheese ✅ Beef stew ✅ Loaded baked potato soup ✅ Try finding a dish it can't handle...I'll wait.
I just got this and I LOVE it. Obviously, it's beautiful. There's no arguing that. But what I really love is the ease of use and how unintimidating it is. There are no confusing pre-sets — you simply select your desired time, temperature, and mode — and the hands-free steam release just does its thing when your meal is done cooking. I've used it to make pulled BBQ chicken for quesadillas and nachos, as well as rice and a teriyaki stir fry. I also love that it doesn't clash with anything in my kitchen (I have the blue salt color which perfectly complements my light blue cabinets) so I can leave it on my counter and not have to worry about using a step stool to store it on top off my cabinets.
What's included: Dream Cooker, cooker base, locking lid, inner cooking pot, condensation collector, and detachable power cord.
Get it from Our Place for $250 (available in four colors).
26. A dino nugget pillow sure to resonate with anyone who could *literally* live off of chicken nuggies and never get sick of them.
Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true! It's the perfect cuddle companion for all the paleontologists-in-training or anyone with an insatiable appetite for comfort. Just be careful not to accidentally take a bite while you're napping, because it looks deliciously deceiving!" —LadyTee
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four styles, two sizes, and in multipacks).
27. A nutrient-rich, banana-scented overnight mask that comes in delightfully realistic packaging and smells EXACTLY like a Laffy Taffy. Say what you want, but banana candy is supreme.
First thing is first, I *so* wish you could scratch and sniff the photo above. I just started using this and TBH, I absolutely ordered it because it was cute. That said, I was already a big fan of Tonymoly products so I figured why not. Not only is it exceptionally fun looking, but it smells incredible and works really well on my dry skin. While it's definitely thick, it also doesn't leave me greasy which other products have. Basically, if your friend likes banana-scented things and could use some extra hydration, it's a great gift!
Get it from Amazon for $16.50.
28. An embroidered sweatshirt that pays homage to your favorite Staten Island vampiric hotspot: Nadja's.
This sweatshirt comes from Neon Thief, a Salt Lake, Utah-based small biz.
Promising review: "This sweatshirt makes me want to suck throat juice like it’s Grey Goose." —Becca Daley
Get it from Neon Thief on Etsy for $47 (available in unisex sizes S–3X).
30. And some cloud-shaped utility knives so you can open all of your forthcoming treats in style.
Check out a TikTok of the cloud knife in action.
Promising review: "I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." —Amy Yasneski
