Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina

Table-Mate is a small business that specializes in height-adjustable table trays. 

Promising review: "This table is exactly what I was looking for to be able to use my mouse and keyboard for the computer while working from home. It’s plenty stable and easily moved to the side for storage or when I need to get up from the chair. I also use it as my lunch table and to hold my iPad when not on the computer." —sleuneberg

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. 

Promising review: "I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "So effective! This harness is amazing!! First walk today, and we had no pulling, even with squirrels darting in front on the path, and dogs barking and lunging. Wow! 🤩 I never leave reviews, but this one deserves it." —molly gravatt

Get it from Amazon for $20.79+ (available in four colors and sizes S–L).

Promising review: "This was bought for a young friend who had taken a new job with very early hours. She was getting in trouble at her new job because she had difficulty waking up to her alarm so very early in the morning. She has stated this alarm clock would 'wake the dead!' The clincher, though, is the earthquake that occurs under her pillow when the very loud alarm goes off! This alarm clock has fixed her problem and trained her to wake up very early each morning. She hasn't been late (from oversleeping, anyway) since she received this clock. Another plus is the terrific retro look and turquoise color of the clock. I recommend this for anyone who has difficulty waking to a regular alarm clock. It is an outstanding product! Thank you!" —Lisa Engle

Check out the Owala FreeSip water bottle on TikTok!

I've tried the majority of popular reusable water bottles on the market — and I can say good/not-so-good things about all of them, except for Owala — which I can only sing my praises for. Let me start by saying that it's rare that I stick with a water bottle for longer than six months. I know, I know — then, what's the point of buying reusable water bottles? LISTEN! I am an indecisive gal who gets bored easily and a shopping editor who is easily swayed. YOU TRY BEING IN MY SHOES FOR A DAY! 

Anyway, I bought my first Owala almost a year ago and instantly fell in love with it. I am of the camp that drinking water with a straw makes it easier to drink more water throughout the day. In fact, it was part of the reason I LOVED my Simple Modern so much. Unfortunately, the Simple Modern not having any sort of straw cover started to give me the ick whenever I brought it out in public. That's where Owala SHINES. Not only does it close (which gives me immense peace of mind), but the leak-proof lock ensures water won't spill out!!! NO LEAKS EVER!!! I am on my second Owala now (because I accidentally dropped and dented my first one), but I NEVER buy a second version of the same brand...so this is HUGE. Owala has me as a customer for life now. I am obsessed. 

Promising review: "I have had so many water bottles, but I love this water bottle most out of all of them, from the GORGEOUS colors to the long-lasting cold water. I also love that there is a straw for when I want to sip and one where I can chug my water. I also love that all the spots where your mouth touches are covered. If you're looking for a new water bottle, I would get this one." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in a variety of colors and four sizes).

Promising review: "If you came here to purchase them because a TikTok influencer told you to...so did I. The rumors are true. These little puffs work wonders! I love that it has the pointed end to really get under the eye and around the nose. You can't beat the price, and they help with a flawless powder application. Just buy them." —Tayler

Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in 22 sets).

Sets come with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases (with only one pillowcase included in the Twin size). 

Promising review: "I've bought these in five colors now! They are that good! I bought vibrant colors. I love the way I feel when I look at those rich, pigmented colors. I used to buy expensive Boll & Branch, but I gave those to my mom because I like these better. They are so soft, which I didn't know was possible at this inexpensive price point. They are thin, but that doesn't negatively affect the quality at all, so don't be concerned about that." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes Twin—California King and a variety of colors).

Each brush head lasts 3–4 months, so eight brush heads should last you about 2.5 years. For under $40, that's an EXCELLENT deal!!!

Promising review: "Best toothbrush I have ever had. The thing gets chunks of food out that I did not even know were there, sometimes big ones that shock me. Makes me wonder how many years I had gunk in my mouth without knowing. Mouth always feels clean and fresh, way more than a standard toothbrush. Battery life is great. I get a few months before recharge, and it turns red when you have a few uses left, so you know to charge it. My only complaint is that the on/off button fell off in the first month, so I have to use my fingernail to turn it on, but no big deal to me. Every 30 seconds, it shuts off for a few seconds, so you know it’s time to work on a different section of your mouth. There are four 30-second intervals, so you spend 30 seconds doing a quarter of your mouth at a time. I turn it back on after it shuts off after 2 minutes for my tongue. 10/10 recommend and 10/10 would buy another." —Cody

It comes with six hangers that can hold five garments each, 10 if you double them up!

Promising review: "I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white and the edges are smooth." —CAGH

Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $22.90 (available in five colors and also as a pack of 20).

Buddeez is a family-owned small biz based in Missouri that sells home goods!

Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer that would keep the bread from getting crushed by the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

Promising review: "Love this moisturizer — even on sensitive skin. I have been using this product for years, and it is still my favorite moisturizer. It's a good value for the money, as well. I use a pea-size drop every morning after toner, and it glides on smoothly and nourishes my ultra-dry skin. It's not too thick and has virtually no scent. Very pleased with it." —C. Yu

Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in two sizes).

If you're looking for a water-based cleanser to go with this one, reviewers love this pore-deep cleansing foam from the same brand for their double-cleansing routine! 

Promising review: "I don’t usually leave reviews, but this product is the best cleansing oil EVER!!!!! It worked flawlessly after the first try, and I could actually see the results immediately!! My gosh, it’s lightweight and smells relaxing. Massage it to your skin for 5–10 minutes, and you can see the magic. I will definitely add this to my skincare routine. JUST GET IT!!!!!" —Vince

Promising review: "I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome). This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." —P.W.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (get the acrylic version for $79.99 or the teak wood version for $59.99). 

Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" —Brianna

Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors and also in a mini version).

Promising review: "I was looking for something to spray on days I didn't wash my hair. This is WONDERFUL! It smells like the tropics. I just got it and already have had so many compliments." —Tamara Morales

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in various scents and sizes).

Promising reviews: "I have one in my car, one in my purse, and one at home. These just feel so good on your lips! The flavors are very true to their name. They are pretty small, though, so if you use them often, it won’t last long (which is another reason I have three of them), but for $4 each, it is worth it. I sometimes like using this before putting on the E.l.f. Lip Reviver Oil. Such a great base for an awesome lip oil!" —Jax

"I got this product because of the hype of it on TikTok. This lip balm smells SO GOOD. And hydrated my lips." —kayla

Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in six flavors). 

A single charge provides over 10 hours of usage.

Promising reviews: "I bought these based on price. I wasn't sure if I would like wireless headphones or if they'd stay in my ears, and I didn't want to drop major $$$ until I knew for sure. I figured for that price, why not? This brand is awesome!!!! Sound quality is on par with my regular headphones, battery life is amazing and overall durability is great. They come with a bunch of different soft pads for the ear part, so you can find the ones that fit you best and keep them in your ears well. I love these headphones. I dropped one once, it was in the driveway for three days and still worked perfectly when I found it. I ended up buying several pairs of these as stocking stuffers. I've had no connection issues, either. I can get about 100 feet from the device it's connected to before it drops. If you're thinking about it, do it. You won't be sorry." —Crystal Inchiocca

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "This product is something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I’m being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I’ll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." —Sarah F.

Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

Promising review: "These notepads helped me reframe and focus every day working from home during the pandemic. I used to use a daily planner, but working from home changed how I needed to plan my work tasks and personal tasks. I found this helpful for both!" —kristenjoann

I've been a loyal Listerine (the zero alcohol kind) for many years now, but lately I was feeling like it wasn't doing as much as it used to for me in the fresh breath department. I recently decided to try out TheraBreath because I had been seeing it EVERYWHERE and wanted to see what the hype was all about (if it was even worth it). The first night I used it, I was truly shocked. I literally felt like I had just left my dentist after a cleaning; that was how fresh my mouth felt. I've been using the mild mint flavor (although I'm debating trying the icy mint next), but the mint flavor is super subtle, and the results are truly awesome. If you're a garlic/onion lover like me or just looking to elevate your fresh breath game, definitely consider TheraBreath or talk to your dentist about adding it to your routine!

Promising review: "Why didn't I find it before? It's very embarrassing to admit, but I had very stinky breath. It did smell like s..t, and I tried many products that didn't work. Just follow instructions and 'deep throat' gargle for 30 seconds or so for best results. I can say that my breath has improved by 50%, which is a huge, huge difference. Morning breath is not as bad. I can talk to people with confidence, and that is all that counts. Thank you, Amazon!!!" —Shopper5

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.34.

Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess, and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one, but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." —Kimberly C

Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.45+ (available in nine color combos and larger quantities).

Promising review: "I got this keyboard because of its aesthetic. The look did not disappoint. Love it! Super easy to connect to my iPhone and iPad. It makes my typing and note creation on my phone quicker and cuter. I will purchase another for an upcoming friend’s birthday. I know she’ll love it as well!" —NT

Lovoir Beauty is a small biz based in New Zealand that sells this genius winged eyeliner stamp known as The Flick Stick.

Promising review: "I just want to make my morning routine as easy as possible. I love winged liner, but I don’t have the steady hand for it without mistakes. This makes the perfect and consistent wing every time. Love it! I ordered the 10 mm, and now I'll have to try the 12 mm!" —Julie B

The glass is nice and thick, and if you are clumsy, no worries, it hasn’t broken yet even though I drop it all the time! Nice deep sections allow for a LOT of food!" —Danielle

No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me. I will def try the others!" —Kristy
