    therabody / Via www.instagram.com

    I have one of these bad boys and it has honestly been a game-changer. When I posted on my Instagram that I had received one, the responses I got were WILD. People are PASSIONATE about this gadget and now I understand why. I've used it on the arches of my feet and have way less pain than ever before. The nozzle at the end contracts at a high speed (think, a tiny punching machine) that surprisingly doesn't hurt but leaves your body buzzing in a good way. In my opinion, it's worth the money and it actually does work.

    Promising review:"I received a Mini as a gift from my daughter last Christmas and LOVE it. It helps my sore muscle, aches and pain a great deal. It’s small, lightweight, and not noisy, I take it every where I go. Bought one recently as a gift to my brother for his birthday so we can spread the love and help his aching body." —Po W.

    Get it from Therabody for $199 (available in four colors).

    6. A set of toilet fizzing bombsthat'll quite possibly make you excited to clean your potty! All you have to do is drop one or two of these in the bowl, swish them around in the water a bit with a cleaning wand, wait five minutes, scrub, and flush — magical.

    Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has and looooves this ottoman:

    "If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than ten minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."

    Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in nine colors).

    10. A mini bag sealer that'll make it easier than ever to sneak a few cookies out of your partner's favorite dessert that they always leave a note over that says "DO NOT EAT THESE." Use this to reseal the packaging — they'll never know 😉.

    Promising review:"This little iron is very handy. Great for resealing plastic bags. Even though it is small it is made in a way to fit over a full-sized bag of chips. It heats up in 30 seconds and comes in a nice little case. Very cool! The main reason I wanted something like this is that I often buy fancy crackers or nuts for charcuterie boards and by the time I have my next party the items have gone stale ... this is a way to really save on those and keep the fresh in between parties!" —Laura Graham

    Get it from Amazon for $7.64+ (available in four colors).

    Get it from Firebox for $44.

    15. A training toy that'll actually encourage your doggo to enjoy spending time in their crate — slather it with some peanut butter and enjoy some peace and quiet while they enjoy a delightful treat.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Chewy

    We got this for my sister's puppy, Mac (seen above at 4 months, he's quite larger now) and it was great for helping him while he was teething/ adjusting to crate life. In addition to putting peanut butter on it, you can also add yogurt and fruit and pop it in the freezer to turn it into an ice pop of sorts!

    Promising review: "The Groov tool has been an awesome help with crate training our dog Frankie. Being that he is a rescue, he likes to have his own space where he feels safe but sometimes needs some 'motivation' to go in. We just put some peanut butter on the Groov and he is more than happy to go in his crate. Also, the design on the side of the Groov helps make the peanut butter last. Would highly recommend to anyone crate training or needing a tool to help with training in general!" —Andrew

    Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in four colors) or Chewy for $31.99.

    16. A Madame Leota or Mickey iced coffee charmora dainty bar to add some Disney pizzazz to your watch band — these can also totally be paired with your Magic Band the next time you make your way through the gates of WDW.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    OK, but, how cool are these?! The "Band Studs" pop right into one of the holes of your watch band while the "LuxeBar" slides right on. I have a bunch of adorable studs, but so far my two favorites are the Mickey iced coffee and the one inspired by Madame Leota. The Mickey slide-on bar is also delightful! I'm even rocking one of their Apple Watch bands now — I can't help myself. They're all made from a mother-and-daughter–owned small business that's based in Texas.

    Get them from Mouse on Main Street: Iced Coffee for $15.50 (available in four styles), Madame Leota for $15.50, Mr. Mouse Luxe Bar for $19.99 (available in three colors).

    17. A bucket bag made of a ridiculously soft leather you will likely annoyingly pester all your family and friends to feel — it's just unbelievable!

    Portland Leather Goods, Heather Braga

    I recently received this bag in merlot and the matching walletand am obsessed. I've gotten tons of compliments on it when I'm out and about. I love that it holds a lot of stuff but never feels too heavy on my shoulder.

    Promising review: "I ordered the Butterfly premium Bucket bag. The leather is thick, soft, and smoosh-able!!! I love that scuffs and marks simply buff out of this leather. This bag is the perfect size and shape for me, it holds everything I need and it's easy to get in and out of. I personally love the strap length, it hits just below the hip for me. This is definitely my new favorite bag!" —Jodi Z.

    Get it from Portland Leather Goods for $148 ($299 value; available in seven styles).

    18. A knit weighted blanket you've probably seen while indulging in a scroll of your Instagram feed — it's weighted naturally with a layering technique instead of with artificial filling. And it looks SO cottage core chic!

    mybearaby / Via www.instagram.com, Bearaby

    I have one of these and it's my favorite thing to unwind with at the end of the day. I have an anxiety disorder and can often find myself feeling really worked up and typically have physical symptoms like feeling restless. The weight of this blanket helps me to soothe my body and loosen up a bit.

    Promising review: "This blanket is great. The material is soft and comfortable. The weight is perfect. What I love the most is that there are no beads used for the weight. I had a previous weighted blanket that the beads came loose after just a few weeks making the blanket useless. This blanket makes you feel like you are wrapped in a soft hug. I sleep so much better and do not wake up as often. I highly recommend this blanket." —Jennifer M.

    Get it from Bearaby for $249 (available in 15, 20, or 25 pounds and seven colors).

    19. A cat teaser toy starring Mary from Hocus Pocus flying on her iconic vacuum so you and Fluffy (or dare I say, Binx???) can recreate your fave scene from the movie during playtime.

    20. An embroidered BaubleBar iPhone case*sew* cute and an absolute a must-have for anyone who wants to feel a bit like an influencer every time they snap a pic.

    baublebar / Via www.instagram.com, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    I usedBaubleBar's "Block It Out" phone case for almost two years and it truly held up. It had barely any wear and tear aside from some discoloring along the sides (it HAD been a while). I always got tons of compliments on it and I hadn't really had the urge to change my case since getting it. I even got one for my cousin as a gift — I really do love it! I've loved being *extra* and having my name plastered on my phone, so it's probably only natural that I upgraded to this new embroidered version. It's super cute and comes in a variety of designs! My friends have told me they liked this style *more* than the last one (it's a little more subtle). I love them both equally but it's been fun to mix it up a bit!

    Get it from BaubleBar: the "Sew Cute" design, the "All Smiles" design, the "Double Up" design, and the "Better Together" design for $68 each (available for iPhones 7–12 Pro Max).

    21. A set of interchangeable key caps, perfect for any gamer who wants to take both their gameplay andtheir aesthetic to the next level. There are a handful of fun color schemes to choose from, good luck trying to narrow it down!

    22. A Minnie Mouse plush featuring a removable 3-pound pouch to help calm your nerves and soothe your anxieties so you can drift off to dreamland sooner rather than later.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Shop Disney

    I recently received one of these and love it so much it hurts. As someone with anxiety, I've learned how magical it can be to find a weighted item that is both cute and functional — this Minnie Mouse plush checks those boxes. It's soft, snuggly, and the weight inside of it helps create an appropriate amount of pressure when laying down with it. Highly recommend for my fellow anxious Disney Adults.

    Get it from shopDisney for $39.99.

    Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has and loves her frame TV. She said:

    "This is honest and truly the best splurge I have ever made. It has massively upgraded the look in my living room. My husband loves the photography options and I love all the classical paintings – as someone who loves changing up my decor, being able to update the display images has been so fun. The quality is fantastic while watching movies and TV...but I'm pretty sure I love it as a piece of art in my home even more."

    Target

    Promising review:"The color is lovely! Depending on how wet your hair is and how much you spray, you can control the vibrancy of the color. Anywhere from a rose gold to hot pink. Make sure you rinse it out well. It begins to rinse out after a few washes. Fades out faster or slower depending on what shampoo I use. But once it is rinsed out completely my hair went back to the original color like I never used it. It didn't make my hair brassy or change the tone of blonde which I was concerned about. Feels safe to use so far. I could see it running out fast depending on the length or amount of hair— the only downside." —Joanne

    Get it from Amazon or Target for $12.

    26. Solar-powered LED garden lights you'll love because they can change colors and create the illusion of rising bubbles to make your yard feel like an escape to a more magical world.

    amazon.com

    Other reviewers like it in their potatoes, bread, and scrambled eggs.

    Promising review: "My 6-year-old son is super picky with his mac and cheese (as in, would only eat Kraft) so when he had to go gluten free it was one of the things he missed the most. We tried all of the prepackaged gluten-free ones and he hated them. We found that he liked Barilla brand gluten-free elbow pasta so I needed to find a gluten-free cheese to go with with it. This was a hit! I mixed it with a little milk and butter, and he ate two bowls. This is real cheese, all natural ingredients and they suggest keeping it refrigerated. I'm glad we finally found a replacement for his mac and cheese!" —Naomi A. Dejesus Howard

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

    30. A rechargeable lighter to light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambience without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid.

    I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super fun gadget. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! I'll never have to buy another lighter again.

    Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super minor annoyance. It's a super intuitive device. Plus the lighter with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" —Jee W

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    This product really takes me right back to elementary school when I'd fish dollar bills and coins out of one of these bad boys to pay for my fancy lunch of chicken nuggets.

    36. AnOwlet Smart Sock that'll help any new parent feel comfortable heading off to sleep — it'll track the baby's heart rate and oxygen level, tell you when they need you, and measure how long they slept. Magical.

    Target

    Promising review: "I never had any intentions of purchasing the Owlet until after we brought our daughter home and had a scare due to reflux! The next day we drove 30 minutes away to purchase it. I have slept so much better since. We have not received false notifications except the occasional 'check placement' when baby was kicking a little too much. The solution to this is we just place normal socks on her feet and it stops that from happening! I would purchase this product over and over and would recommend it to everyone! It helps us sleep so much better, especially when baby came down with a cold and was super congested. The Owlet assured me her oxygen was 100% and the same day in the doctor's office their machine read 100% as well. It’s great knowing my babe is sleeping safe at night!" —Mommy27

    Get it from Target for $299.99(available in two colors).

    37. An automatic pan stirrer with a timer, perfect for any aspiring chef who tends to get a little absent-minded while following a recipe.

    UncommonGoods

    Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." —Jake the ChefturnedDaddy

    Get it from UncommonGoods for $25.
