The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy and the normal size of a magic eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne BuzzFeed Shopping writer (and apparently investigative journalist!) Karly Jacklin says, "I asked myself the question, 'What would happen if I just called Therabreath up?' And then I verified with a brand representative that this toothpaste's pH is 7.5–8, which is alkaline enough to effectively clean teeth without harming enamel. (Always be sure to check with your dentist to make sure you are using the right toothpaste for you, though.) "I have super fragile, sensitive teeth that I need to be *extra gentle* with...and that means staying away from harsh whitening toothpastes. And that's super hard, because I want white teeth! Luckily, this "deep clean" is enough to scrub the stains away without causing pain. No stinging, no sensitivity, and it still leaves my teeth looking about a shade whiter after consistent use. It obviously cannot undo the damage that is already there, but it's helped my teeth feel much cleaner, and helped banish my inflamed gums. A tip I got from my dentist that's REALLY helped? In addition to brushing and flossing, I put a tiny bit of this toothpaste on an expandable floss (like Cocofloss) and scrub in-between my tightly crowded areas that my toothbrush can't reach. It's like magic if you're prone to cavities in those spots." Promising review: "It is hard to know what to get sometimes. I will help you. Get this one. I bought it for four-wheeling but I wear it a lot because it is comfy. Color is true to the photo. Straps are cute. Keeps [breasts] from bouncing around. Not impossible to get on and off. Definitely want more." —Sherry in TX Price: $16.92+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 25 colors) It contains 133 pieces and is made for ages 9 and up. The larger daisy measures over 7.5 inches and the smaller daisy measures over 6.5 inches. Promising review: "I just love these Lego Botanicals! I got these daisies to add to the sunflowers I have already. The directions are easy to follow and really fun to put together. It took me about an hour to finish the kit. We all know Legos are built to last, so I'm sure these flowers will too! The best part is they will never wilt or die so you can enjoy these all year long. The colors are bright, cheery and the flowers go well with the other Lego Botanicals that I own. I will be adding more very soon, and I highly recommend." —Luv2shop This has aloe, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid in it, so it'll nourish your skin at the same time! Promising review: "So I am a ride or die for Eos Vanilla Cashmere. I can't tell you how many bottles of the lotion I've gone through just this year, I absolutely love [it]. When I heard about the perfume, I was SO excited. It's exactly like the lotion, it's perfect. It lasts quite a while, I spray it on me before I go to bed and I can smell it when I wake up. Plus, you get a good amount for the cost so it's worth it. This is another Eos item that will be on a subscription now, too. I am dying for shampoo and conditioner so I hope that's in the works soon! Please Eos! I am a Vanilla Cashmere goddess! Hahaha! 💕" —Nikki Price: $12.98 (also available in seven other scents) Promising review: "Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know stone bath mats existed! But wow! What a game changer! I’m one of those people that avoids my cloth bath mat when it’s wet. Because eww! Now, I can take a shower right after my husband and not have to worry about stepping on a wet bath mat. The stone absorbs the water so fast! Can’t wait to upgrade my other bathroom mats." —Angela Promising review: "Do not hesitate to try this product if you have a hard skin problem on your feet. It takes a few days to see a difference, but now I can see a change. Just like that, the skin on my pinky toe is not rock solid anymore. Bye bye, pain — and I am not joking." —Majda For the best results, it's recommended to use the brand's torch fuel. Promising review: "My husband says whenever I’m around he never gets bit by mosquitoes — that’s because they are ALL over me. I go through two bottle of mosquito spray a week because we really enjoy sitting outside. We have the tall tiki torches, but these are a game changer for setting on a table right next to you to keep the bugs away! Plus they are adorable." —Billy Bob It can hold up to 1.2 pounds of beans or 1.5 pounds of ground coffee. Styled Settings is a small biz that offers a variety of kitchen essentials. Promising review: "I love it! The white and gold looks so classy and elegant on my counter space in my kitchen. It gives aesthetics. It feels sturdy, well made, and easy to use. Whether you’re storing beans or grounds, this one is a must have. I’m using it for grounds. ☺️" —Felicia Watkins Price: $27.99+ (available in three colors and as a two-pack) Promising review: "Very strong. At first I was like yeah, the chill plate only feels super cold for a few seconds, then just cold, but…when I took it off my neck, my neck felt cold for a good amount of time after. It was strange, like it pulled the heat out of me. Very strong fan. I get hot flashes and panic attacks, and this is going to help a lot...also it’s cute. ☺️" —Rebekah Bluhm Price: $149.99 (available in seven colors) Promising review: "I received this on a Thursday with rather aggressively chapped lips. By Friday night, my lips were considerably less chapped and much more comfortable. By Saturday night, my lips were no longer chapped at all and very moisturized. While out tonight (Sunday night) I had a friend ask if I have had something done to my lips because they look so full!!! They are soft and moisturized and I feel like they have been revived from this cold dry winter! 100/10 recommend!" —Gordon S. Price: $25 (available in a pink raspberry scent or blue unscented) Promising review: "If you’re debating purchasing this product, let this review be your answer. This stuff is INCREDIBLE. I’m a college student with two cats in a small apartment. They’ve peed on so much of my and my roommate's stuff, and because we don’t have an in-unit washer/dryer, the stuff just got tossed into bags until I could go home. So some stuff has been pee-stained for weeks. This stuff took the smell and stains right out. I tested it first on my cat's carrier since she peed on it on the ride home. Let me tell you, it’s never smelled better. It dissolves easily, so long as the water is anything above lukewarm. It’s unscented too, which is great since my skin is on the sensitive side! What I thought would be bags upon bags of clothes I’d have to throw away have been restored to perfection! I’m so beyond happy with this product and will be repurchasing for the rest of my pet-owning life!" —Ally Brei Make sure to shake before using and apply to areas that will be exposed to UV rays. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Gabriela Manjarrez says: "That's me in the pic shown above! Although I was in the chilly Swiss Alps, that sun was *strong*. And when I tell y'all, I am picky with sunscreen...I am PICKY. No matter what, it has to be lightweight, non-greasy (my oily skin doesn't need any help looking shiny lol), virtually invisible on my skin, and it has to work well as a base layer for other products like tinted serums and foundation. I found my perfect match in this sunscreen. It protects my skin while still letting it breathe and allowing its natural glow to peek through. It also dries down to a *true* silk-matte finish and mixes super well with your daily moisturizer!" Promising review: "I’ve been using this sunscreen for a long time and I always end up coming back to it. The texture is very lightweight and fluid, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling heavy or greasy. It blends easily, leaves no white cast at all (which is extremely important to me), and works perfectly under makeup. I have sensitive, dry skin and this sunscreen has never irritated me or caused breakouts. What I really appreciate is how comfortable it feels throughout the day. It doesn’t pill, doesn’t sting my eyes, and it gives a natural finish that looks good whether I’m wearing makeup or not. It’s one of those products you can apply in the morning and forget about because it just does its job quietly and well. I’ve tried many sunscreens over the years, especially Korean ones, and this is one of the most consistent formulas I’ve used. For the price and quality, it’s absolutely worth it, and I would repurchase it without hesitation. There’s really no excuse not to wear sunscreen when products like this exist." —Marcela Price: $18 (also available in a stick form) It comes with the tracker board, wooden number tiles, number tile holders, a wooden stand, and a black acrylic pen. Promising review: "My daughter loves to read books and has a goal of how many she will read each year. I got this for her and she added it to her bookshelf. Now she can display her accomplishment." —SSR Price: $14.99 (available in eight styles) Price: $10 (also available in a cloud style) Reviewers say they don't stain the tub if you clean up immediately after. And the flasks are reusable! Tub Works is a small business that makes fun, non-toxic bath products for kids. Promising reviews: "Order these! These were such a fun time. It's now going to be a staple for us for bathtime fun. 10 out of 10 hands down. Each bottle takes a surprisingly long time, and you get so many bubbles." —lgiffer "These things are amazing. The colors are extremely vibrant, yet no staining on the tub or my son’s skin, and the foam reaction just keeps going and going and doesn’t lose its intensity. If it does slow down or stop, you just pour a little more warm water and it starts again full force. The reaction lasted for the entirety of my son’s bath." —Katelyn Promising review: "I’ve tried so many products to keep my hair sleek, but this one is definitely the best. It smooths down all my flyaways without leaving any greasy residue, and it keeps my style in place all day long. I also love how compact it is — super easy to carry in my purse for quick touch-ups. It smells nice, works amazing, and gives that perfect polished look. Highly recommend!" —Brendha Garabini Promising review: "This dress is easy, breezy, and exactly what you want for warm weather. The smocked bodice fits comfortably without feeling tight, and the ruffle sleeves add a nice feminine touch without being over the top. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, making it great for hot days, beach trips, or casual outings. The length is playful but not excessive, and it moves well when you walk. Easy to dress up with sandals or down with flats. If you want a cute, comfortable summer dress that you can throw on and go, this one checks all the boxes. Great style for the price." —Amity Morgan Price: $35.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 24 colors) Promising review: "This little cloud guy is adorable and squishy! His face is very sweet, and the color morphing is great. I really like it’s calming, and even if you don’t use it for meditation, it’s a cute night-light. I wish it was bigger but that’s not a deal breaker." —RgHound Price: $9.99 (available in three other styles) Because they're flexible, they're also a bit harder to break! Promising review: "I wore my Mello clip for a month to give it some good wear before writing my review, and I’ve decided: I think this clip is perfection! As someone with thick hair, it gathers all of it with ease, and I don’t feel like it’s going to snap. I find myself reaching for this clip over others every time. I’ll definitely be gifting these to my friends in the future!" —Eli Price: $24.98+ (available in 12 colors and packs with charms) Promising review: "I just love this thing! I was looking for a kitchen utensil holder and was only finding boring canisters. Somehow I came across this planter and decided to try it out, and wow! I absolutely love it. It’s so cute, and it holds all of my utensils just fine. It doesn’t wobble around at all. Would highly recommend!" —Rebecca Promising review: "It’s easy to use — just add it to water — and my houseplants started looking greener and healthier after a short time. It works well for different types of plants, including flowers and herbs, and the gentle formula is perfect for regular use. The two-pack is convenient and lasts a long time. Great product for both beginners and experienced plant owners." —Artur K. Promising review: "The timer works wonderfully [and] you don’t have to worry about blowing out the candle." —Linda Camhi I discovered these mists at Sephoria 2026 and was gagged! I knew Touchland had hand sanitizers, but I didn't know they had fragrance too. I have locs and only wash my hair once a month when I go to my stylist, because I hate when my roots get super frizzy. As you can imagine, after a while with the sweat, oil, and smell, a lot is going on at the roots. I can spray this on my hair, and any lingering odor is *actually* neutralized inside of just being masked by heavy fragrance. Promising review: "Smells amazing! I get so many compliments when I wear this! I also love that it can be layered with their other scents. I don't get 'nose blind' with this product, when I wear this I can smell it all day long. I love the smaller size of the bottle, it can fits easily in a purse, back pack, car console etc. and doesn't take up much space. The sprays are distributed evenly and never clogs or dissipates. Will definitely continue buying this scent and looking forward to trying others!" —KRod Get it from Amazon for $17 (available in eight scents). Promising review: "Such a cute little Polly Pocket set. The quality is great, and I love all the little details incorporated!!!" —Lindsay Schuck If the Salad Pod slipped past your radar in 2025, and you eat a ton of meal-prepped salads (great for saving money in this economy — whomst among us can afford to buy $16 salads every day!), it's also well worth the investment.
