K-Cup cleaning pods for when your coffee maker becomes a biome. Though it may disgust you, preparing yourself with these cleaning pods will ensure your coffee stayer remains clean as a whistle.

Follow the instructions on each pod, running one large cycle with a cleaner pod and one large cycle with water-only.

Promising review: "OMG, these cleaning pods are awesome! I didn't realize how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is after I ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. Yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0 and I had no issues." - Mads0421

A ChomChom pet hair remover that'll have you sighing in relief. Ideal for pet owners who detest the endless shedding, the ChomChom roller will free you from the endless cycle of repurchasing pet hair removers.

Simply roll it back and forth on hair-ridden areas, then empty the compartment.

Promising review: "I have three indoor cats, two of whom are seniors, and they have been shedding terribly. I own no less than a dozen pet hair/lint removal gadgets, and none of them even come close to the effectiveness of this product. Normally, I time my pet hair removal sessions to right before I shower because I am dripping sweat after half an hour of grueling work. I just removed every trace of pet hair from my sofa in less than 5 minutes and I didn't even break a sweat. As I stood back and examined my sofa, I did not believe it had actually removed the hair, but had probably pushed it around somewhere less visible. I popped the button that opens the hair collection compartment on the roller, and THE HAIR WAS IN THERE. WHAT?!!?! I may order a second set in different colors." - A.W.

Promising review: "This is my third Vobaga coffee warmer. I bought the first one in 2018, and it's still going strong. It keeps my coffee hot to the last drop. It's important to remember it doesn't heat up cold beverages to piping hot. It keeps hot beverages hot." - hottytoddy

Promising review: "I love this: I needed this for two reasons. 1. I wanted to conserve space in my very crowded container cabinet 2. I was tired of buying grocery store containers that were cheap in design and execution. This set does both things well. It is also made in the USA which I liked. I won't have to buy another set of storage containers for a long while." - Travis Partington

With this paste, it was gone within less than a minute. I immediately tried it on my stove – omg, I'm in love. It's a purchase I don't regret at all. Will be buying it again." - Happy customer

I love that the hand pump is included, easy to use, and doesn't take long at all even on the large bags. The directions are printed on each bag so you are reminded how to use them without keeping a box or instruction manual. Thank you for a great product!" - Angela Urrutia

Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer for that quick under-eye touch-up. Aimed at providing instant results, it can help reduce the appearance of dark circles, giving you a bright-eyed look in a flash.

Promising review: "TBH, last year I started using this myself (although this is former BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo's lovely human face above), and I am mad that I wasted time with other concealers for so long. I am a deeply impatient person who likes to look good and does not like to put in effort in any way, shape, or form, and Maybelline created this so that people like me could gracelessly slap it on in the morning and be like "OK, REFLECTION, YOU GOT THIS" before being on their merry way. It never cakes, I look way more awake than I have any right to, and I never struggle to blend it the way I do with other concealers. 11/10 subscribe."

Promising review: "This is my all-time favorite concealer. It goes on creamy and covers under-eye circles without looking chalky. I hope they never stop making it." - YvonneL

A spiralizer for making meal prep a breeze. Say goodbye to botched meal planning and limited kitchen storage space. This versatile gadget lets you spiralize, grate, or shred a multitude of ingredients, all with interchangeable caps.

Just swap out the caps to go from one function to another!

Promising review: "I recently purchased this because it was my cheapest option for making zoodles, and also because my apartment is the size of a shoebox and there was no room for anything bigger. I LOVE how easy it is to swap out the caps to do other things, too - I've started grating my own cheeses and feel very fancy. But mostly I just love that it's very safe to use (it comes with a finger guard!), super easy to figure out, very compact, and even has measurements on the inside of the cup if you're ever portioning things out for a recipe."

Promising review: "I have eight large breed dogs who have the run of the house, even though we sweep and vacuum twice a day you can still smell dog. I have little to nothing in the way of soft surfaces that hold odor and the whole house gets a deep clean three times a week, but the smell keeps popping up. I put three of these around my house and people have asked me if the dogs are not in the house anymore.It doesn't cover up the smell, it really eliminates it and leaves the house smelling crisp and clean." - Pamela Caldwell BB

Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (also available in four- and six-in-one styles).

An odor-removing gel for tackling tough odors. Eradicate the most pesky odors with this potent gel, designed specifically to eliminate stinky smells without covering them up. Just open the jar, place it where odors linger, and watch as it absorbed the nasty aroma.

Promising review: "I bought this stuff shortly after adopting a new cat because, somehow, I totally forgot about all the fun smells that linger in the house with a feline around. I keep this near the litter box and (with regular scooping/changing, of course) it makes a significant difference in the not-so-pleasant odors. I went with the original scent and I LOVE that it doesn't give off an overpowering, artificial smell. Also, one jar lasted over three months before I had to repurchase it. Needless to say, I bought a two-pack the second time around!"

Will definitely purchase again and again!" - Sheila

An enzyme-based laundry stain remover for even the most challenging stains. Box out tough stains such as coffee, wine, blood, deodorant residue, and old stains, with this powerful enzyme-based stain remover.

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase.

BuzzFeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord says: "This spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)."

Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long presoak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric." - NYC Buyer

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

Check out a TikTok of the anti-blister balm in action!

Promising reviews: "Saw this product on a TikTok review and thought to give it a go. I definitely say it causes new shoes to be less painful however if you apply a lot it can be a little transferable on shoes. However, it is extremely effective and easy to use. I don't really review very much, but this is definitely worth it and it does make a difference with new shoe wear!" - Mich Elle

"This is a MUST if you're breaking in new flats. Helps prevent blisters. So easy and simple, yet effective." - Amazon Customer

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.

Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it and it works as advertised. It's a little on the expensive side IMO, and that's kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." - StrangerThings

Sea Bands to combat motion sickness. If you suffer from motion sickness, stretch these bands around your wrists to target an acupressure point that reduces nausea, making long car rides, cruises, or train trips more comfortable.

Promising review: "I don't know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringe paying the $20 for it when others are between $5-$10, but I have NO issues paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it's a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it's in a high-traffic area until it's completely dry**. It's taken out every stain, and more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product!" - Shelly

Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." - Summer

Get it from Amazon or Youthforia for $36.

A hydrating intense-therapy lip balm for the ultimate combination of moisture and sun protection. This balm not only moisturizes but also offers SPF 25 for ultimate protection against the elements.

Promising review: "So I have been a loyal EOS fan for quite some time but you constantly have to reapply and honestly, my lips are still cracked. I found Jack Black balm from a TikTok video and it has been glorious**. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread - a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long-lasting, too - I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day." - Trisha

Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors and in packs of three).

Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This little miracle worker is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voilà! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." -Viola Evens
