Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. This has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated

Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

Promising review: "These are the cutest toast tongs! They are nicely crafted and the long-eared bunny design is adorable. Perfect tongs for my toaster and waffle iron. It stands by itself as a little functional piece of art, and won't get lost in the utensil drawer like my old boring tongs. The packaging is also nice and makes this really giftable, so I'll be ordering more as gifts for sure." —Tuzi

Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

Get it from Amazon for $7.32.

Promising review: "This is my first and only Squishmallow product and honestly I love it! It is as soft as expected from the brand, but also I'm very impressed with how sturdy the bottom is. Most of the bottom of my dogs's beds are made of fabric, but the bottom of this bed is pretty firm and tough. I'm no dog-bed expert but from a loving dog-parent, I'm very satisfied." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The vase was so pretty I bought a second! They're durable and very appealing to the eye. I will be purchasing more." —kayla

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "This little guy is amazing. Bought it for cramping and it’s so warm and comfy. It really helps relieve pain and has a nice light lavender scent (definitely not overpowering). Perfect little heating pad, and it’s cute, too!" —Kelsey

Get it from Amazon for $32.89 (available in 12 other shapes).

Check out a TikTok of the rain cloud diffuser in action.

Promising review: "I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days, even with it running daily. It’s a solid 12/10 from me." —Violet

Get it from Amazon for $56.80.

Youthforia is a woman-owned small business aiming to make makeup that's not only good for your skin but is also environmentally friendly.

Promising reviews: "I can go down the list of impulse buys I've made after seeing them on TikTok. Most of them fall way short of what I had hoped for or expected. Not this stuff. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. After turning 40, I've not been happy with my blush or tinted moisturizers. More often than not, they either pill or settle into my pores, etc. YOUTHFORIA to the rescue! This stuff is awesome. I can use it to create nothing more than a healthy glow, or can build it for more if I care to. It is undetectable once on the skin and it lasts all day. It's all I was hoping for and so much more. I highly recommend it." —Kate F.

Get it from Amazon for $36.

Promising review: "I am absolutely in love!! The shape of the highlighter itself makes it so easily glide over the paper. Super smooth. The colors are sooooo beautiful! It’s not often where what you see is truly what you get. I am very satisfied :)" —Sung Han

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two color combinations).

Promising review: "I have used a lot of different lip-plumping products. It is one-third the price of TooFaced Extreme and works just as well if not better. The plumping effect is awesome as well as the color refresh!!!" —Kristin K. Black

Get it from Amazon for $10.98.

Promising review: "This product is incredible. Works better than Olaplex and for $20 less! I have medium-length dyed hair that gets very frizzy and this is changing the game for me!!" —Mica MacKay

Get it from Amazon for $7.14.

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 45 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for 10 hours with each full charge).

Promising review: "I'm a musician who tours often and have used various headphones but these I use for going to the gym or just general use to listen to music. They are by far the best bang for your buck! I myself now own five pairs. The battery life is phenomenal, not exactly sure of the hours but I use them daily and only charge once a month at the most so I get many hours of use. Recently used them on a 15-hour one-way trip to North Carolina and 15-hour trip back, so 30 hours and they were still running strong!" —Stephanie Phares

Get it from Amazon $18.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: “I love these wineglasses!! The iridescence is subtle but absolutely gorgeous and magical. They were packaged really well and all of the glasses arrived to me safely. I love that they're dishwasher safe, too. I'm so happy with them and look forward to using them each and every time. Would definitely repurchase if I need more!” —Shoona

Get a set of four from Amazon for $20.99 (also available in a set of six or with coasters).

Promising review: “These are the best shower steamers I've ever tried. Usually they aren't strong enough or they melt too quickly to even enjoy. They are also bigger than what you can buy at the store. One lasted my entire shower and still smelled amazing even after I was done. These are the best shower steamers hands-down. I would definitely buy these again.” —Krista

Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

Promising review: "I love this product and have been using it every day for three years! I have dry but sensitive skin, and many moisturizers make me break out. This one is light enough to not irritate my skin but also helps fix my dryness. A little goes a long way, so I don't mind paying the price for this product since it lasts a long time." —Caitlin

Get it from Amazon for $16.

Plus she's dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "I got this for my birthday. I love it so much! It's completely functional and super easy to clean. The best part is that it's fun! She just sits in the soup, hanging out, watching everyone enjoying their soup, waiting to be useful." —SKW

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

Solawave is an LGBTQ-owned small biz based in Los Angeles.

BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis loves this wand:

"This. gadget. is. worth it! 👏🏾 Using the Solawave was my first time introducing red light therapy into my skincare routine and the difference in my hyperpigmentation is honestly mind blowing. The tone of my face is much more even and the dark circles around my eyes have nearly disappeared. Essentially, it's like a mix of a jade roller (which I already love using anyway) and an LED mask in one...with microcurrent/vibration therapy, too. You can apply the specific Solawave activating serum or any conductive gel of your choice (I use a different one, myself!) and it will really absorb the benefits when used with the wand. I only use it once every other day (at night) and it's super relaxing. My skin is always ✨glowing✨ the next day!"

Promising review: "It’s been a game changer. You can really see a change on your skin almost instantly!" —Anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $129.97 (available in two colors) or straight from Solawave for $149 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I love these bowls. They are the perfect size for my kid’s snacks, ice cream, cereal, fruit cup. They’re so fun, we use them all day long!" —Jill Burke

Get the set of six from Amazon for $27.99.

Check out a TikTok of the Slushy Maker Cup in action — it even comes with a spill-proof lid so it won't leak while you're crushing the cup!

Promising review: "When it got here I cleaned it and put it in the freezer. I took it out a day later and filled it with Diet Coke just to see what it does. Squeeze it a few times and it's 100% a slushy. I am shocked and thrilled. Worth the money. It has some type of ribbing inside that freezes. If you enjoy a cold beverage, get it quick." —GEORGE

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in a variety of colors).

Kitsch is an LA-based woman-owned business that specializes in hair accessories.

Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." —Meghan

Get it from Kitsch on Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors)

Promising review: "This is a hilarious way to scream at the universe without hurting your throat. I often gift this to people who are struggling. It generates a smile and lets them know it’s OK to feel like screaming." —meggysmallz

Get it from Amazon for $6.96.

Promising review: "I used Lash Blast by CoverGirl for decades until one day I saw a lady on TikTok use this. I love the way it makes my lack of lashes look like I have lashes! It’s easy to apply and you can’t beat the price. I will continue to purchase this mascara!" —Stephanie Hernandez

Each bottle comes with 20 mini CO2 cartridges.

Promising review: "This is super fancy with a modern look. Probably one of the fanciest mini soda makers you can get. This product works great. Does the job of making soda water within seconds. I used it a couple of times and am satisfied with the product. We tend to buy bottled plain soda very frequently from supermarkets, and this machine will save a lot of money over the long run. I would recommend this product if you are into carbonated water." —LiveWithTech

Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I had a lack of smell/taste for 7 months then parosmia (smell distortion). I've tried red light therapy, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin-heavy regimens. Nothing helped. I tried this before eating a breakfast sandwich and it tasted normal!! Eggs and meat are typically a no-go for me. I got brave and tried pork chops for dinner and they tasted normal too. The first bite or two of each was iffy, but not after that. It even made taco meat taste good (but made sour cream overly sweet). Super thankful to find something that works." —Amazon Customer

Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $15.99.

Check out a TikTok of the acrylic coaster in action.

Promising review: "I have received so many compliments on this coaster. It doesn't absorb well but always stays clean even after condensation reaches it. I love it and will be ordering a second one to go on my desk with it. Just a neat addition to the work space!" —ttaylor

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

Promising review: "This beach blanket is the best. I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of one. It was easy to pack in a suitcase, unfold/refold, and repelled the sand on a windy day in Maui." —Carlissa

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two colors).

Have coilier hair? This paddle brush might work better for you!

Promising review: "I have a headful of thick, wavy shoulder-length hair. I sometimes wear it curly, but when I want it smooth, this tool is a huge time saver. I used to have to section my hair and spend a half hour or more flat ironing it. I still section it a little, but I can go from a big mop of mess to a sleek flip in very little time. I just spritz my hair and go to work. I have arthritis and it is a big bonus also that the handle is big so I don't have to use a pinch grip to hold it. I also have shoulder pain and the less time I can spend with my arms over my head, the better. This tool is worth every penny." —Anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "One of the best facial cleansing tools I own. I use it every day and it pairs well with my Neutrogena face wash. Feels so luxurious on the skin and it rinses fast. No oily residue after washing. Highly recommended!" —Speedy

Get it from Amazon for $8.

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

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two patterns).

Each month is open-dated, so you can start using it whenever you want!

Promising review: "I received my spectrum wall calendar last week and oh boy, it didn't disappoint! Exactly as pictured! It is hard to find a calendar like this, most out there are dull and small. I work in real estate and this is the perfect size to keep everything organized and legible. I have received lots of compliments!" —Tatiana Hall

Get it from our Goodful Shop for $48.

Promising review: "Game changer. I usually wear bronzer and highlighter and this is an amazing combo of both!! Smells amazing and looks sooooo good!" —Ashley Hall

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I heard about these shoes on TikTok from someone who really hyped them up. I have had really bad back pain over the years, I'm in my kitchen a lot and it would kill my back. After I heard how soft these were I order a pair in black and I live in them. No more back pain standing in my kitchen for hours baking. They are so comfortable, very lightweight, and I keep telling everyone about them. I can't wait to order some more in different colors. I really wish they made them in a light mint green, lol. Definitely worth every penny." —britney

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 30 colors).

Promising review: "I have previously purchased a black one from this company and fell in love with the quality of the material, and the size of the bag. I've always been one who puts a lot of stuff in purses so I thought this would be challenging but it was the opposite of challenging. I can fit everything I need into this bag without it looking bulky. I will say this is the closest version of the popular Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag that I have found, and the color red is your true red. I'm so happy that I plan to order the hot pink one for the summer time." —Kristi Reiser

Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in 40 colors).

ILNP Cosmetics is a small biz making truly iconic polishes.

Promising review: "This nail polish line is a game-changer!! Gorgeous color, super sparkly, smooth application, and long-lasting. Hasn’t chipped at all in days. I will definitely be ordering other colors." —Brittany A

Get it from ILNP Cosmetics on Amazon for $12.50+ (available in a variety of colors).

Check out a TikTok of the knot bracelet in action.

Promising review: "Super high quality. Looks very expensive while the price is inexpensive. It looks so luxurious. I am absolutely in love." —Veronica Rosales

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

Get it from Amazon for $39.50+ (available in six colors).

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord only has good things to say about this:

"Our family recently 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: “This is what you want. You came here for movie theater salt. This is the real deal. Get it. Your life will be better.” —Clete R. Blackwell

Get it from Amazon for $9.60.

Psst — you can also snag that reviewer's gratitude journal on Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors)!

Promising review: "I bought this completely on a whim, and it was totally worth it. Adorable cup, a lot bigger than I expected it to be! I haven't put anything in it yet, so I can't say whether or not it stains, but it's still very cute regardless." —AEL

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in five colors).

Check out a TikTok of the flaming humidifier in action.

Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." —Benny

Get it from Amazon for $32.69+ (available in two styles and in black and white).

Not only is it size-adjustable to accommodate different tubs, it comes equipped with a wineglass holder, edges that safely prop up a book or tablet, a candle holder, and extra space for whatever else their cozy heart desires.

Promising review: "When I placed my order for this tray I looked at the pics but did not realize how really cool this piece is. The ability to change the size is great, but I just love the different trays that are removable as well as the ability to put my phone and a Kindle in 'safe' areas of the tray. I found a perfect place for my TV remote should I want to watch TV and not read. I just got it and used it last night but it appears to be well-made, balanced, and offers versatility for the things you may want at your fingertips when taking a luxurious bath!" —SindiMcG

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three colors and with or without personalization).

Promising review: “This pillow changed my life. Birthday for someone you're in love with? Wanna show your teacher you appreciate them? Does your hairdresser give you solid looks for solid prices and you need a Christmas gift for them? Does your neck need support when you're playing scary video games in the dark at 2 a.m. when you should be studying for finals? This shrimp neck pillow was the answer to all those questions. It's so comfortable. It's so fashionable. It's so iconic. No one will ever disrespect you with this on your neck. If you have doubts, take my word for it. This pillow is where it's at.” —McHOOT

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

Promising review: "These bath bombs are so cute. There are four individually wrapped clouds inside a beautiful box. The packaging is very, very pretty. I could imagine these being really fun for kids to get them excited about a bath, or as a great gift for someone who loves unicorns and rainbows! They make a nice stream of rainbow bubbles as soon as placed in the water and fizz for about five minutes or so. All the clouds smells wonderful and the bath made my skin feel very soft from the shea butter." —Rahil Memon

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99 (also available as a four-pack).

Promising review: “These hair gems are my new favorite thing. The gems are easy to take off but at the same time stay on incredibly well. I had them on my hair the entire weekend and I don’t think a single one fell off! So fun and received compliments everywhere I went.” —Lauren Dubin

Get it from Amazon for $49.99.

Promising reviews: "My entire family and I are extremely satisfied with the Bartesian cocktail machine. I bought this late November but could not provide a review as this was a family Christmas gift. When it was finally unwrapped and opened up, everyone was surprised, excited, and wanted a drink. With six adults in the family, we all had our favorite. I bought six different cocktail mixes (cosmopolitan, whisky sour, sex on the beach, rum breeze, uptown rocks, and Long Island iced tea). We tried them all, and every cocktail turned out fantastic!! I would recommend this machine to anyone who enjoys quality cocktails." —Doug
