Promising review: "This made my life so much better with chopping onions and other veggies! It’s so quick and easy. One tip is to make sure you cut your veggies small enough so that it’s easy to push down the handle. Big chunks are a little harder to chop. Please be careful with cleaning; the blades are super sharp." —Tasha 

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder has good things to say about this! Check out her Fullstar veggie chopper review.

This contraption provides 360-degree support thanks to a wraparound design and clips that connect it to your seat's headrest.

I am a notorious non-sleeper on flights. Like...most of the time I don't even try because it is so difficult for me to get comfy and *stay* comfy. It also doesn't help that I'm a tall girlie (5'9!) and have a long torso to keep upright. So when I came across this gem, I had to try it. Thankfully, I received it just before my 15-hour flight to Switzerland — the ultimate test! It was so comfortable and supportive, I literally drifted off to sleep faster than ever and forgot where I was (seriously, I missed the snack service). This has never happened to me on a flight! No bobblehead. No slowly having your bodyweight drift toward your neighbor's shoulder (awkward). I can't even tell you how many travel pillows I've tried before. This beats them all by FAR. Trust me, this'll earn (and keep!) a place in your luggage.

Promising review: "Just took a 15-hour flight with this travel pillow, and this was the best travel pillow by far. I've used inflatable and memory foam neck pillows before; the major problem is that they don't secure your head and torso, so either your muscles have to hold up your body, or your head and torso will end up swinging around, and both are disruptive to sleep. With this travel pillow, my muscles can relax, and the padded eye mask will hold up my head and torso. One minor downside is that the pillow needs to be mounted on your seat's headrest; if someone bumps your seat, it can be disruptive, but this rarely happens. Its size and weight are also much less than memory foam neck pillows, and I don't have to bring an extra eye mask, so it is very travel-friendly." —Sky

It's also been known to work for postoperative and chemotherapy-induced nausea. It applies pressure on your wrist to help ~restore balance~. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Promising review: "I'm eight weeks pregnant and have had morning sickness nonstop every single day, and it has made my appetite go away so much that I feared for my baby's health. I needed a quick fix so I could eat again. It worked amazingly. I went to Denny's and ate my weight in pancakes! It feels so good not to feel nauseous all the time." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I was extremely skeptical about this product actually working at first. I saw this on TikTok and started reading the comments, which were all positive reviews, so I decided to try. Let me just say I no longer have to awkwardly run to the bathroom after my fiancé and I do the dirty. This product works!" —brittany simmons

One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two; one for each eye.

The Flick Stick comes from a New Zealand–based brand and small business, Lovoir Beauty. 

Promising review: "Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly, so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before, and they were so watery and not close to the dark black I wanted at all, but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours, and it was warm, so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" —Elizabeth

I spent three weeks traveling through eight different European cities, and let me tell you — bringing these sandals with me was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. My most worn pair of shoes during my trip, hands down. The reasons I was on the hunt for comfy sandals were 1. I didn't want my feet enclosed all day while trekking the whole city in warm weather, and 2. Some outfits simply pair better with sandals. I hiked up to the Acropolis of Athens in these babies, and that stone floor was slippery. And still, out of my group of 11 family members and friends, I was the first one to make it to the top (and yes, I did brag). I even told two of my friends that went with me to get these for the trip, and they were eternally grateful for my rec. 

Promising review: "As someone who owns several pairs of Birks, these sandals are absolutely up to the expectations of real Birks! The Birks I have are the Arizona soft footbed. I wanted this style of Birks, but I couldn’t find the soft footbed version of them. I saw these and thought I might as well try them for the price. Let me tell you, these are even comfier than my soft-footbed Arizona Birks! Omg, they feel amazing. They are nice and padded! They are so adorable, too! Great quality." —Lee

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12, two widths, and 20 colors).

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

Each box lasts two months! Be sure to conduct a patch test on a small area of skin first to ensure no reaction.

Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy. 

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon, making tools for gardening. They've been making this tool since 1913! 

Promising review: "I love gardening, but I’m getting older now and weeding is backbreaking work…until I bought this product. It works like a charm; it grabs onto the rootstock, and you simply leverage it out of the ground, root and all. The other end of the lever works well too, like the claw of a hammer; it grabs onto smaller weeds and lifts them out of the ground. Now I can weed a large area in less than half the time without breaking my back. 👍" —Michael D. Kutras

Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years what seems like forever ago, and tried every 'seamless' thong under the sun — at the store and otherwise — all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren’t that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe…HELLO?!?! They don’t hold sweat. They don’t roll. They don’t move around. I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I’ve washed them twice, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They’re wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I’ve ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong with them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they’re my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don’t exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal…it’s sorcery, I’m convinced." —Ebony

Promising review: "You need this! Super soft hair and cuts drying time! This stuff is seriously magic. I have thick hair, and I hate drying it because it just takes so long. I separate it, pin it up, spray the bottom half, dry, and then do the top. It’s perfect! Agree with some of the other folks that said you need to find the perfect amount...too much, you could be greasy. But you’ll only do that once. Regardless, it smells amazing, and your hair will be so soft! Get this!" —Jessica W

The Fro Experts is a Georgia-based, Black woman–owned natural haircare brand on Etsy, formulated for type 3 and 4 hair textures.

Psst — this is meant to be used in place of water as a refresher, but per the brand, can be used right after conditioning as the “liquid” portion of the LOC method in your wash 'n' go or as a detangler.

Promising review: "OMG and AMEN... Seriously, I have TRUE 4c hair, and I have never in my 36 years experienced a true 100% natural/organic hair product, and for this to be my first time, I'm beyond impressed. So pleased with my 2-year-old daughter's hair as well :-) Product does EVERYTHING it's described to do :-)." —Rosanna Quinones

PS: The genius Airplane Pocket is a small biz! Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. 

Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: 

"I used this on a round-trip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves!" 

Promising review: "Every time I whip this thing out, someone leans across the aisle, asks what it is, and then makes a note to buy one when they get home. On a long-haul flight, it's simply a must for organizing your reading materials, headphones, sanitizing wipes, etc. My favorite use for this thing is when I've fallen deep asleep along the way, only to wake up in a fog and in a rush to deplane. Instead of having to hastily dig things out of the seat back pocket, I just slip the entire thing off of the tray table, pop it in my bag, and worry about sorting things out when I get to where I'm going — safe in the knowledge that I didn't leave anything behind. Love it!" —justinglen

Fly By Jing is an Asian woman-owned small business that makes sauces, seasonings, and dumplings featuring flavors from Sichuan.

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Brittany Ross says about it: "Ever since my sister introduced me to this life-changing condiment, I've slathered it on pretty much everything I could think of — from roasted vegetables and noodles to seafood and popcorn. It's got a kick, yes, and while I'm a big fan of spicy food, the thing I love most about this chili crisp is that it also has great flavor that doesn't get overpowered by the heat, which happens with so many other spicy sauces. That deep savory flavor comes from ingredients like fermented black bean, shallots, mushroom powder, ginger, and seaweed, so it's no wonder it's become my go-to pantry staple when I want to zhuzh up my dinner in a matter of seconds. PS: Some people even swear by it as an ice cream topping!"

Promising review: "I was skeptical when I first purchased this. I wasn’t really sure what I would do with it. I’ve gone through half the jar now; I add it to all of my Asian dishes: ramen, egg drop soup — you name it. It’s a perfect balance of spice and flavor, not too hot. Worth every penny, a little bit goes a long way." —Gloucester

Promising review: "I just used it for five days in 90-degree-plus weather at Bonnaroo music festival in the middle of Tennessee on a farm in June with 100,000 people walking several miles, dancing, and sweating every day. I am happy to report that this product is a lifesaver. My thighs didn't chafe once, and I have big ones! I had to reapply once during the day. I strongly recommend buying this if you have large thighs and need relief from chafing. I couldn't wear dresses or skirts in the heat if I was walking anywhere, and now I live in them because of this stuff! Buy it! It works!" —Isaac

Promising reviews: "I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who travels, especially internationally, because of all the extra costs for going over in weight. We were among the few people in line who didn’t need to rearrange our luggage at the airport to meet the weight requirements in Milan. So easy to pack and take with you." —Addison

"This little device was well worth the money spent. It saved us a lot of money on our flight home since we knew the weight was over and could pre-purchase the overage in the app instead of paying double at the airport. I’ll never travel without it!! Very easy to use." —Michael Ellis

This pitcher is BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and locks in all the fresh coffee flavors. Just add ground coffee, cold water, refrigerate, and voila! My caffeine obsession will definitely be getting much worse now.

Promising review: "I ordered the larger size of this product, and I am very pleased with the quality and simplicity of it! It takes me no more than 2–3 minutes to get the jar prepped, and letting it sit 12–24 hours in the refrigerator has had the best results for me. The jar itself is easy to clean, but you do have to rinse the mesh cone out for quite a while to get all the grounds out. It fits perfectly in my refrigerator, and lasts me about 4–5 days. This cute cold brew coffee jar is such a life and time saver for my busy college mornings!" —Bailey Bryant

To use, just gather your hair and twist it into a tight bun (no hair tie needed!), tuck in the ends, and spin the pins into the edges of your bun.

Promising review: "When even a ponytail won't do, and a hat isn't socially acceptable, pull out the spin pins. These are easy to carry in your purse for emergency hair days. They twist together/around each other so they stay kind of bundled together, and I keep them with several regular bobby pins to keep stray hairs tucked together. I find the minis are far more comfortable to wear as well as easier to get into the hair. You will still need a few pins to secure some random loose hairs if a PERFECT bun is your goal. But if you are like me and most days you just need your hair out of your face and off your neck, these are excellent since the bun stays put. Works beautifully under scrub caps as well." —Blondiechick

These glasses are great for everyone, but especially for people who are bedridden.

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

I was also worried it would be super hot to remove from the microwave... not at ALL. The plastic can be held in the hand. No hot pads needed! I couldn’t be happier! I recently used this for rotini pasta, following the instructions for measurements. The pasta was cooked perfectly! Highly recommend!" —Butterfly

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it. (I like mine medium-boiled. 🍳) If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra oomph to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!"

Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient, and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina

Promising review: "Bought an air fryer several months ago, which I haven't used a whole lot because it came with only a few recipes, but not enough info on other items to cook. The Lotteli cheat sheet gives you cooking times and temperatures for a lot of your common everyday foods in a magnetized, easy-to-read, two-sheet combo that fills in where the air fryer pamphlet that came with the unit leaves out. I also bought an air fryer cookbook, but this only comes with specific recipes, whereas the cheat sheet fills in the void for quick, basic needs. Very happy with this purchase! 😁" —B. Frank Smith

I keep this in my tote bag for work, and I am not concerned at all about it opening. I can’t tell you how many times some of the other pill boxes I used have opened up, tossing prescription medications into the smallest corners of my bag. Well-designed and well-executed!" —Christina S.

Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok and had to give it a try. It does not disappoint. Perfect way to freeze portion-sized soups. Also helps me not waste unused broth. Easy to use, store, and clean. Once your item is frozen, just pop it out and store it in freezer bags." —Meghan Swain

"LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned 1/2-cup and 1-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design, and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time, but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate
