Buying these already crosses something off your to-do list. So go ahead and snooze, you deserve a nap.

I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping writer since 2017, with a focus on unique, practical products, up-to-date parenting finds, and up-and-coming home decor.

Promising review: “If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I’ve used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!” —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in various shades/styles).

Promising reviews: "Cool gadget. This thing is a game-changer. I hate peeling apples, and this is just perfect." —Joslyn Jonhson

"If you have to peel potatoes, you need this. It takes half the time and saves your hands the work. I would not want to be without it. I gave it as a gift and told my friends about it. Making a holiday meal, this is a must-have. You will be so impressed and happy to have it. Don’t pass it by." —cardmaker

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four styles). 

Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." —Wenhether

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in eight colors). 

Reviewers with straighter hair types say the foam helps add voluminous waves to their hair, while those with thicker, wavier hair types say this helps add a bit more definition and shine. This is no longer in my shopping cart — it's being delivered to my door.

Promising review: "Love this stuff when I let my hair air dry! Keeps it from going frizzy. I use a lot of John Frieda products!" —JoAnn

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in two styles).

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in eight styles).

Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books.

Promising review: "This is perfect for hiding our router and accessories in our bookcase. Love it!" —supergirl

Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $39.

There is empty space on the sides for any notes, brand favorites, etc. if you're sending someone else out to do the shopping.

Promising review: "It really helped when we were out of a grocery item to just circle it on the list for the family, so when I ordered groceries I knew what we needed. It didn't stop the family from putting empty cartons in the refrigerator, but at least they let me know that we were out. LOL." —Live Laugh Love

Or specifically, be tamed onto your head with a tiny, gel covered mascara wand.

Promising review: "I was surprised to find that this product is very easy to use and extremely effective. It didn't leave my hair looking greasy or sticky and it works great for baby hairs around the face." —GoBlue

Promising review: "Yeah, I know it's not cheap but it's definitely worth it! It doesn't take up much space and makes clean up a BREEZE! The mat is big enough for the kids to keep their toys on it and still have room to play." —T. Brown

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors).

I am rather certain that there is more Jot than blood in me by this point. After discovering how delicious this stuff is I totally dropped my expensive cafe habits and have stuck to this for my daily cup of coffee. It has a rich taste, is wildly easy to make (just pour a tablespoon into 8 ounces of your favorite base), and the SEXY bottle even makes the inside of my fridge look nice.

Promising review: "Makes a great cup of coffee. So happy with this coffee. Makes for a quick and delicious little pick-me-up! Can’t wait to try the other flavors." —Patty F.

Get it from Jot for $26.60 (or subscribe for 25% off; available in 12 flavors) or from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in nine flavors, bundles, and multipacks).

This bundle includes a BV-01 coffee brewer, a variety pack of 20 B-Pods®, a premium water filter, and a reusable Japanese knot bag. 

I switched over to a Bruvi coffee maker after learning about how much mold can end up inside traditional brewers. This machine has a no-contact design, meaning there's never water and beans mixing together to make a mess. I also *love* that it has a "low-acid" setting — this was particularly life-saving for me while pregnant. If you want a machine that's intuitive, sleek, and makes a luxurious cup of coffee...you can't do better than Bruvi! 

Promising review: "I was a little skeptical about buying Bruvi, but now I have two. I bought a second one for the beach house. No other coffee compares once you've tried it. Simply the best!" —Krystal D.

Get it from Bruvi for $338 (originally $398).

This includes three soil power packs, and air-pruning soil bag, a water-wicking filter, and two ceramic vessels (one with a nonslip rubber ring). 

I have a Tendril planter, and I *love* it. My husband is a big plant person. I am very good at appreciating them...and terrible at caring for them. If it weren't for this planter, our Calathea would not survive his weekend work trips. The most satisfying thing about this planter is that the design is both aesthetic and functional — the top sinks into the bottom as the water absorbs, both allowing the plants to drink when they need *and* letting you (ahem, me) know when it needs to be refilled. There's even a water level indicator with a poem from your plant's POV. Cute.

Get a medium size from Tendril for $89 (originally $129).

Promising review: "I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It’s wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can’t go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." —Shrekira

Promising review: "10/10, would recommend. Got this initially for cleaning up the hair in my salon. It works perfectly! I love it. It’s so easy. This is AMAZING!!" —Alyssa

Get it from Amazon for $229 (available in three colors).

Emikeni is a woman-founded small business that specializes in heatless hair curling tools.

Promising review: "This is a game changer! I have very fine, silky hair and using heat tools on a daily basis is causing too much damage. This product is so easy to use and requires no heat! I recommend buying a small spray bottle and fill it with water. Before bed I usually spray my hair a little bit with water, brush it out, and put the silk rod in. I wear it overnight and barely feel it. Next day I have luscious, voluminous curls!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in three colors). 

Promising review: "This worked perfectly to fill the gaps on either side of my stainless steel stove. The product has a protective film over it to protect the stainless steel from being scratched or damaged in transport. All you have to do is peel back the film which is basically a sticker once you’re ready to install. Works exactly as advertised (pictured above, right)!" —Sarah K.

Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in multiple sizes and colors).

Promising review: "LOVE! So easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly." —Catie B.

Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes and 14 colors).

My BuzzFeed Shopping coworker Elizabeth Lilly has this to say: "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 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."

Get the starter pack from Amazon for $19.96 (includes one spray bottle and three refills).

Getting out the blow-dryer and flat iron is a hassle of the past! Plus, this single-tool solution means less heat damage to your hair!

Promising review: "Amazing product. I wish I had found this 20 years ago!! I have naturally curly hair and enjoy a nice blowout without having that pin-straight, burnt flat iron look. This product helped me achieve the blowout look in about five minutes (yes, five!). When it comes to hair, I’m a super novice, and this is by far the easiest, most effective (inexpensive) blowout. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Where has it been all my life?!?!" —Sara Kovach

Get it from Amazon for $44.95+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "This is easy to use and now that I’ve had it a few weeks, I don’t know how I have lived without. Makes draining anything in water so much easier! Highly recommend." —Melissa L.

Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 17 colors). 

Each litter box comes with a pre-portioned package of litter that you pour into the tray. It will start cleaning 20 minutes after it's detected that your cat has left the box. When the tray is full, simply remove it and dispose of it.

Promising review: "Admittedly, I am a lazy cat owner. I hate taking the litter out every day. This is a dream. I have one cat and I change this once every month. Very limited smell (I use the purple crystals). This is the only thing I’ve ever reviewed on Amazon because it’s THAT worth it. Worth every penny to not take the trash out every single day. My cat adapted perfectly and he’s picky as can be. Everyone needs this. Literally everyone." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $142.49+ (available in two styles).

Note: The version linked above is only compatible with the Tripp Trapp high chair, be sure to select the high chair you have on the product page to make sure it works!

Promising review: "I cannot adequately express how necessary this product is. We originally purchased a mat to go under the high chair, but then we were still picking up food from the floor, and it still required us to move the mat after every meal to wipe. The Catchy makes it so easily wipeable, and we don't need to remove it every time." —Lauren Reed

Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in six colors and versions for other high chairs).

See it in the same TikTok as above about multisticks!

When I say it feels nourishing, it's not just a coincidence. This is made with shea butter, softening avocado oil, and a protective (breathable!) orange peel wax. 

Promising review: "I have been lazy with my makeup routine as of lately, so having a multi-stick and not having to whip out a brush and brush has been so helpful. I like how I can just swipe this on my cheeks and rub in with my fingertips. It gives a beautiful flush to the cheek area.  This product has no smell that I can tell, which I am happy for. I love that this product is clean and I can feel good about using it.  I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-made product that is not only good for the world, but good for the face." —Brittany0890

Get it from Sephora or from Amazon for $36 (available in 12 shades and radiant or shimmer finishes).

Live Tinted is a woman-owned business founded by entrepreneur Deepica Mutyala that specializes in clean, vegan, cruelty-free beauty products for all skin tones. 

Promising review: "Almost the only makeup you'll need. I was on vacation in Vietnam and Cambodia for almost a month. Besides mascara, this is all l needed for lips, cheeks, and eyelids. The product goes on smoothly, stays pretty well and is so easy to use and go. It is something I will continue to use daily. It makes a big difference, brightening your whole face. It helps make you look like you put forth an effort and care how you look. My favorite color is True." —jeanette p. 

Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in five shades).

Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99.

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.19 (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack).

BuzzFeed Shopping Writer Danielle Healy says: "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer."

BTW, one cartridge can last up to three months!

Promising review: "I am so tired of spending money on brush heads to clean the toilet bowl. I bought this for our guest toilet. The toilet bowl has been perfectly white and clean for months now. I just bought another one for the other toilet in the house. It should take less than 10 minutes to install, even with trouble. Highly recommend for a clean toilet bowl." —John Glynn

Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work, but the gel solidifies, and with every flush, suds wash through with the water, and it really makes a fresh difference. Also, the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting, but they do the job." —Janet

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. This 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 colors).

Check out a TikTok of the egg storage roller in action. 

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

Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large size eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." —Karingan

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two styles).

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

Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based small biz that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.

Promising review: "How did I live without these? Since I began working from home, these sheets are the best. They keep you accountable and I can go back to see what I accomplished each day, since you have to report your daily tasks. About to order more...thanks for making life easier! —Pame66

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in six styles and two sizes).
