A Dracula garlic mincer for anyone who appreciates irony, has strong feelings about their favorite vampire, or just really loves garlic bread. And if you're on board with all three like me, even better. Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated.
No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out , and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes.
Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." — L Get it from Amazon for $18.99 .
3. Londontown's illuminating nail concealer , a sheer but buildable formula that cancels out yellowing or staining, leaving healthy-looking, glowing nails and a little flush of color, which you can also layer for that glazed nail look that's so on trend! Promising review: "I’m not a big review writer but I had to write one about this polish! Now, it has only been a few days but so far it has been the best nail polish I have ever used! I was hesitant because it’s way more than I have ever spent on a nail polish. But it is so worth it.
I don’t know why it seems so different but it was easy to apply and looks as good as when I get a manicure. I have never had that when I have done my own nails! So far, I am hooked!" — jenc Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in five shades). Londontown is a woman-owned, family-run business btw! 4.

A sheet mask — FOR YOUR BUTT , because why should your face have all the fun? This bb'll moisturize and tone (hello aloe and chamomile), with one sheet for each cheek. 🍑 They're available in four varieties: * Slap It (pictured; retexturing & detoxifying with caffeine) * Squeeze It (brightening & rejuvenating with citrus) * Shake It (firming & illuminating with marine algae) * Bite It (hydrating & toning with plant-based collagen) Promising review (for "Bite it"): "I LOVED this mask. I was incredibly skeptical and figured it'd be more of a novelty mask.
I was also sure that the mask would not be big enough to cover my curvy thicc butt. It's safe to say my expectations were low. Regardless, I was blown away with the outcome.
I'm so happy I purchased it. I do have cellulite as well overly dry skin, as it's summertime I spend a lot of time in bikinis with my bottom showing and I just felt like a hydration recharge and a little life added back into my skin. I took a shower, and when I got out, I put the mask on and left it on for longer than the recommended amount of time.
I felt the end result visibly made my skin look hydrated as well as smooth. Not only that, but I felt the next morning I could still visibly see the results, so I was extra happy in my bikini that day. I know everyone's skin and shape is different, so results will always vary, but I can definitely say this booty mask is no gimmick, and extra kudos to this company for making a booty mask that covers big booties! Also, side note: The packaging is adorable.

The kit comes with three paintings — two landscapes and one portrait of Bob. Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and What a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting.
Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" — slb m Get it from Amazon for $7.

I've never really worn hats, living in California, but have had to go to Minnesota and other cold places recently for work, and it keeps my head SO WARM. It's soft (I hate even the tiniest bit of scratchy feeling) and the purple sage color is muted and elegant and lovely.

I use this one for travel and it's perfect (I have a larger one for all my jewelry as well). I really like that you can move the little dividers in the bottom compartment around too; that's been very helpful." — Dee Get it from Amazon for $19.

You can use the voice button to find shows, launch apps, search for type of movie ("Alexa find suspense thrillers"), OR EVEN ORDER A PIZZA from Domino's! Promising review: " Best purchase I've made in 5 years!! I have one of the first smart tvs close to ten years old. It was limited, but there were a few apps I used that I had just put up with to try to stretch a few more years out of this Sony Bravia TV. One day the apps just disappeared and Sony told me my TV is just outdated and I'll need an updated TV.
The other option they gave me was to get a fire stick and that should give me apps to use and get a few more years out of the TV. Well..
...
. I purchased this Amazon fire stick and suddenly the TV woke up. It updated all the software and downloaded everything it needed and it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
I thought my TV was incapable of being quality updated software and loads of apps and free TV watching. Thank you Amazon for making this great product. I will buy it again if I need another🤓" — Kimberly Kramerich Get it from Amazon for $39.

14. A tiki-inspired Baby Yoda mug you can clasp as tightly as The Child clasps his own hot beverage while rewatching The Mandalorian . Promising review: "OK Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) is cute enough to be a Lovely Tiki mug, but this one just make it beyond my expectations, detail hand painting, different color inside the mug, a real treat for tiki culture or Star Wars fans looking for a nice cocktail in Mos Eisley cantina, big enough for a Iced Rusty Nail or any glass-size poison" — G.
Salvador Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (also available with Grocu in a force pose, and in a Mando version). 15.
Carenel Lip Sleeping Masks , which come in a set of three minis (for under $10!) — if you've been looking at the Laneige ones to keep your lips hydrated and supple overnight, you might want to try these instead and save a few bucks! Plus they're sized perfectly for travel. For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams for the entire set. So even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal! Promising review: "Love this! In my opinion, better than Laniege at a fraction of the price.
A bit thicker, which I like. Even though it’s a sleeping mask, I use it throughout the day to keeps my lips moist and soft. Will keep ordering again and again.

Cosrx’s snail mucin repairing essence that may seem like it would give you the ick, but is totally worth adding to your routine.

Reviewers say it helps with acne , inflammation , peeling, fine lines , and even eczema ! I loooove this essence for whenever I need an added boost of hydration.
It absorbs into the skin beautifully! Promising review: "This product is everything everyone says it is and more. If I could recommend one product that is the key to glass skin, it would be this. It gives an immediate glow, and makes the skin look so supple and healthy.
The texture wasn't off-puting for me, but it is a bit slimy and stringy when you first pump out the product. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue, and it is unscented. Can't say enough good things about this product and the brand.
You need this product in your life!" — Sarah Deeb Get it from Amazon for $17.99 . 17.

97 . 20. A (very pretty!) box of TikTok-loved Maldon flaked salt for adding texture *and* flavor to everything from caprese salads to crispy chicken cutlets to freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies — even a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with olive oil.
YUM. Promising review: "Have I become a salt snob? I asked for a marble salt box for Valentines Day, and I couldn't very well put common table salt inside such a beautiful thing, could I? No. I did a bit of research and found out that Maldon's Sea Salt flakes are the gold standard.
.. even better than the pink salt I bought at the big box store that rhymes with Bosco! This salt's texture is a delight and the flavor is clean and bright (without being sharp).
This is a little luxury in my kitchen, and every time I use it, I'm like, 'Dang. This is the good life!'" — Indiana A. Get a box it from Amazon for $7.

Dryer sheets who? Reviewers say they actually catch (human and pet) hair too! Promising review: "These cute little waving saguaro cactus dryer balls are perfect. I’ve bought other dryer balls that dried and cracked after a month, these are over three month of heavy use and look as fresh as the day they were delivered on my doorstep . Great value and your clothes will dry faster as well as more efficiently because the saguaros tumble and separate your clothes for more efficiency.
🌵" — Christian B Staller Promising review: "I’m OBSESSED with these. I have a cat who sheds like a double coat dog, and these things knock off ALL his hair in the dryer. I use them for my clothes, his bed, EVERYTHING.
Dryer sheets didn’t do anything, and my clothes would be wrinkled as well. There’s no extra scent, and clothes are hair AND wrinkle free! I use all four at the same time, but two would work fine if you don’t worry about heavy lint/pet hair." — Anya Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.
99 . 22. A Bluetooth remote control to help you control your phone from afar, so you can turn the page, remotely take photos and videos, and — of course — scroll to the next TikTok.
Promising review: "I've been wanting an auto scroll feature on the apps for reels/TikTok for ages, and I was a little delayed in researching options to achieve just that lol. But I found this remote control that fits on your finger and, although it was an impulse purchase, I am NOT disappointed. Bluetooth and long battery life paired with a comfortable ring feature on your finger to click and scroll makes for the perfect combo when you're laying in bed and you get your phone propped up just right and want to skim thru reels/toks, or if you're in a lovely bubble bath and don't want to risk holding your phone above a potential watery demise.
..this is the product for you" — Shelby D.

Promising review: "I bought one of these for my grandson's 1st birthday. It seemed fitting because they live within walking distance from the Chesapeake Bay. Lots of crab lovers around here.
My grandson loved it and so did all the adults LOL. It's so cool the way it scampers across the floor sideways like a real crab. Out of all the gifts he got this one really got his attention.
My son called me the day after the party and said he was still playing with it and chasing it across the floor. So glad I got it! I heard a few of the adults say they wanted to get one for themselves." — J.

Promising review: "I can’t figure out how anybody could like Swiss Miss better than this. This tastes like milky chocolate and isn’t as sickeningly sugary. It dissolves so smoothly! I would always get bummed at the gross sludge at the bottom of my mug of Swiss Miss but at the bottom of this is nothing! There’s no gritty texture or sludge.
Every drop is delicious! My new favorite. Also I love plain Cadbury milk chocolate bars, and I do taste them in this hot chocolate." — Lizzie Promising review: "This is the best hot chocolate that I have ever had! Rich chocolate flavor, creamy texture and dissolves easily.
I had it many times in Australia, but have trouble finding it locally. For a short while you could get it at World Market. So glad I could get at Amazon! Try it, you’ll love it!" — Amazon Get it from Amazon for $9.
15 . 30. A handy-dandy portable charger that'll be like giving yourself the gift of an always charged smartphone for years to come.
This has three USB ports to charge three devices at a time, and it holds enough juice to charge *3.6* iPhone 8s — so it's OK if you forget to charge *this* bb all the time too. Promising review: "I love this portable charger! I didn’t think it would be a good idea, because normally your portable chargers die within the first charge it does.
I have charged my phone over four times and haven’t had to charge it! That is including just leaving it in my bag for weeks until I need it again. It will not disappoint! I love it!" — MacMak Get it from Amazon for $17.99 + (available in four colors).
31. A dressy, not-too-bulky plaid cashmere-feel scarf so you can look put together while staying bundled up all fall and winter. Promising review: "Looks just like the pictures.
Beautiful color and super soft, like cashmere on your skin, which I love. It's medium-heavyweight so not too heavy and annoying and not too light where you would still be cold. Love this scarf and I have one in the neutral colors as well.

Or Murdle, Volume 1 , a compilation of murder mystery–themed logic puzzles from the creator of Murdle , a Wordle-esque daily puzzle site. Both the site's puzzles and the book's puzzles challenge you to use your powers of deduction and the given clues to solve each mystery and find the perpetrator. There are four levels of difficulty to keep you challenged, too.
Good luck, detective! See how it works on TikTok . There are 100 puzzles total, and four different levels: For Elementary puzzles, you need to find the suspect, location, and weapon. For Occult Medium puzzles, the added challenge is that the murderer always lies, and the other suspects tell the truth! For Hard Boiled puzzles, you also need to find motive! And for Impossible puzzles, you have to discover all four elements and deal with the lying witness statement from the murderer.
Sounds like fun! Plus, you're also given a logic grid for each puzzle to help you solve it! Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level.

I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" — Liz Gately Promising review: " MURDLE is quite possibly the coolest and most fun I have had with logic puzzles in a while.
It activates my inner J.B. Fletcher as my mind compiles the clues and sleuths out the answers.
The various levels of intrigue allow the amateur sleuth in us all to develop into a top-notch arm-chair detective. I cannot think of a better way to spend a rainy, sunny, and/or any day than with a little crime-solving. " — Highly Caffeinated Book Reviewer Get it from Amazon for $11.

Satin is great for protecting your hair too! Promising review: "Honestly, I was very skeptical because I didn’t think I would like oversize scrunchies, but I have a long hair and I find any other scrunchies always pulling out my hair, so these are extremely comfortable.

Just wait 15 minutes and rinse to reveal your glowiest glow yet, thanks to the albumin (aka egg white) and aloe formula. Promising review: "I've used Hanacure for a while but they are so expensive. I just can't bring myself to buy them anymore.
I ran across these and was so excited to try them! It does have a funky smell (reminds me of perm solution) but they worked excellent. My skin was very soft afterwards, and my pores looked way smaller. I see absolutely no difference in the effects of this mask and Hanacure.
The only difference is the huge price tag Hanacure carries. Definitely worth the money! " — K. Bell Promising review: "Everyone needs to buy Zombie Masks! I will be buying this again and again! I have very oily and acne prone skin.
I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing helps my skin. This instantly softened my skin, gave me an amazing glow, lightened my acne scars, and I haven’t had a pimple since using it." — Erin Marple Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $23.
96 . 40. A bar of quadruple-milled, shea butter-infused French ~savon~ to soften, rather than dry out, your skin — feel free to send your boring soap down the drain.
Promising review: "I generally make my own soaps and body butters due to having extremely sensitive skin but I have completely fallen in love with this line. The lather is luxuriously ample yet gentle. The scent fills the bathroom but does not linger heavily on the body.
It leaves my skin clean and soft — not dry as most bar soaps do. I highly recommend the Rose and Mirabelle scents. These bars are quadruple-milled so they do last a while.
" — NoIWontPutMyName Get bars from Amazon for $10.99 (available in 39 scents). 41.

Promising review: "These adorable pens are a hoot! I can now ensure the pen thieves stay away from my desk. The point is very fine. It writes smoothly with black ink.
The colors and the tiny faces are too cute. My favorite part is the little tail on the cap." — Amazon Customer Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.
99 . 44. A pretty celestial journal (hello, gold foil stars) to inspire short and sweet daily reflections.
There are only a few lines per day, so use them well! It's gorgeous AND durable, so they'll actually want to use it for the full five years. The pages also also gilded. FANCY! According to one reviewer, the photos don't do it justice.
Get it from Amazon for $15.76 or from Bookshop for $15.76 .

Promising review: "Got them to eliminate the use of plastic straws for environmental purposes, and they’re great, I love them!

99 (available in all 10.5-inch or half 8.5-inch, half 10.
5-inch). 46. A large sideways initial necklace you can pair with literally any outfit for a dainty but statement-making accent.
I don't know how those two things go so well together, but they do. Promising review: "This necklace is more pretty in person. I love the large size of the letter pendant, chain length, and how it's attached to the chain to give it a offset angle once you put it on.
It looks really trendy and personalized once you match it with a cute outfit." — Erin Delancy Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in all 26 letters).
47. A seasonal mug to get, like, NOW because Hallmark..
..has already starting playing Christmas movies.
So, yeah! Promising review: "I gifted this to my bff and she loved it! She watches Hallmark movies and the Evergreen movies (with the red truck) are her favorites." — SuzeeeeeeD Get it from Amazon for $12.99 .
48. Pumpkin pie sauce (UMM, yes please?!) so you can save some $$$ and make your own PSL in the comfort of your own home. Reviewers agree it's the best pumpkin syrup they've found, and a good match for at-home versions of Stabucks and Dunkin's fall-exclusive beverages.
Promising review: "I am thrilled with Torani's Pumpkin Pie SAUCE. I'm [obsessed with] this particular flavor, and when I ran out of it for a few weeks I had to order a large one. I'll make sure never to run out again, because every morning I have a special treat when I drink my coffee.
This actually tastes identical to the Dunkin' Donuts flavor that they only use during the autumn/Halloween time, but you have to remember to order the SAUCE, not the syrup. Big difference, I found." — Lizzy Tish Get it from Amazon for $7.
95 (available in five sizes and seven flavors). 49. A lightweight and breathable sleep mask that won't weigh heavily on your nap plans.
You might even forget you have this bb on, because reviewers note it's as soft as a T-shirt. Promising review: "This eye mask is fantastic! I love that it's cotton, so it's very comfortable and breathable. The back strap adjusts to fit your head so it stays put when you roll around at night, and there's a soft wire in the nose piece so that the mask can adjust to the shape of your nose to provide maximum blackout coverage.
You can't beat the price for this eye mask — great quality and super comfy." — Paula Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in black).
50. Or an oversized plush satin eye mask (one reviewer says it's comparable to the $50 Lunya one!) designed to be extra gentle on your skin and hair so whether you're sleeping in at home or trying to snooze on a red-eye flight, you'll look and feel first class all the way. It's even satin in the back — no annoying elastic strap.
Promising review: "As a high-maintenance sleeper, I hope I never have to be without this mask — actually, I WAS without this mask for a couple of days, which is why I immediately purchased another one. Left on a plane. Heartbreaking.
This mask is so soft and plush. It completely blocks out light, and depending on how low you position it behind your head, it muffles sound nicely as well. I’ve purchased many silk masks, even some pricey ones, and this one by far is my absolute favorite.

Promising review: "Best purchase all year! This frother is little but mighty! We kept our fancy espresso machine because we like the streamed milk but this frother is even better. Takes up way less space than the espresso machine and so easy use! Every home needs this little gadget to make their morning coffee a little more luxurious!" — C. Eng Get it from Amazon for $9.
99 (available in 10 colors). 52. A *weighted* plushie that hundreds of kid and adult reviewers swear by for a little bit of cuddling comfort.
Think "weighted blanket" but smaller (and way cuter). And don't wait too long — these have been out of stock for *months* but they're back! When I saw the dino one in a TikTok (with the Linda Belcher "little babies" audio, obviously), I just had to order one. I opted for the cheetah (which is currently sold out) — it looks cute sitting out on my loveseat and I simply can't stop snuggling up with it resting on my chest or lap, whether I'm relaxing watching TV or just getting work done between meetings.
Promising review: "So soft! My son loves it! And the fact that it is weighted helps him sleep 10x better because it stays by his side!" —S Promising review: "I struggle with minor anxiety and get bad cramps! I got this because I didn’t want a whole weighted blanket! Now, I take it everywhere and I couldn’t be happier!! Worth every penny, especially if it’s going to help me like it has!" —Emmy Get it from Target for $20 (available in five animals: pink dino , fox , bear , green dino , and unicorn ) 53. A cleaning putty if your idea of a "treat" is getting that one spot that's hard to clean finally clean (type A folks, this is us!). This has some serious oh-so-sticky powers to get in every nook and cranny of your ride (or keyboard, etc!) to remove dust, dirt, and every McDonald's french fry crumb.
So satisfying! Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I have always fought with trying to get my car vents clean. Using Q-tips, paper towels, etc.
.. nothing really worked that is until now.
This stuff is amazing. It does take a little pushing to get it into the cracks and crevices, but it pulls out all the dirt, and leaves the vents clean..
.YAY!!!! I ended up buying more and giving them as gifts. I think everyone who cleans their car should have some of this stuff on hand for the hard to get to areas.
" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.98 . 54.
A skull ice mold , because why (WHY!!!) use boring ice cubes to chill your cocktail when you could be using THIS? Fancy, but make it spooky . Promising review: "These are awesome! Love to use these with friends when you have a few drinks. I would recommend filling these with purified water for a clear, transparent skull.
Look great and adds something different to your drinks." — Jesse Get it from Amazon for $12.99 .
55. An electric candle lighter to make setting your favorite scented candle aflame even *more* satisfying — and save money on those disposable gas lighters ( and never burn your fingers on a match again). Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga has to say about it: "I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super- fun gadget for Christmas.
It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! If you're someone who gets a thrill from RAW POWER this is sort of the product for you. No, it's not a super-intense gadget, relax pyromaniacs, but it does buzz and produce a burst of electricity that I personally find exciting. AND I'll never have to buy another lighter again! Stop burning your fingers on matches and pick up one of these bad boys.

True to size.They are super light but sturdy to walk, even on grass and on uneven side walk. Used them to walk my dogs and don’t get my feet dirty because of the wedge height.
I’ve put them to the test and I’m Ordering in more colors and a back up pair. They are also stylish so they look cute to wear out. Ordered the orange which is like a camel color.
Highly recommend!!!" — Krizia Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase I’ve made! I have spondylilothesis and spinal stenosis, so I get horrible back, leg and foot pains. This literally helps relieve my pain while I’m working standing on my feet. They are super cute I get tons of compliments on them and they are breathable, lightweight and easy to keep clean .

Or a pair of velvety plush slide-on slippers (perfect for year-round use) that'll make walking around your home, doing chores, or fetching a snack feel just a little more luxe. These are suuuuper cushy but won't overheat your tootsies! I gave these to my mom when the *previous* pair of slips I bought her were literally falling apart. She has neuropathy in her feet, so closed slippers (or too much fur) can bother her or cause her feet to overheat.
These velvety, shorter-fur sandal slippers seemed like a match made in heaven — and they are! She can't stop telling me how much she loves these, and the memory foam cushion is super comfortable. You can't beat these for the price! I literally bought her another pair to keep at my apartment so her feet can be cozy when she comes over for dinner or to watch The Crown. And she's already told me that when her first pair wears out, she'll want another pair of these exact ones.
Promising review: "I am in love with these cute lil' slippers. I bought some to wear around my new house, and I am obsessed. They are so lightweight, yet have a sturdy bottom that does not make you slip! What I love is that they are open toed, so they're perfect for hot days at home! I am going to be purchasing these for my sister and mom as well.
" — Kathy Rodriguez Promising review: "Really surprised by how great these turned out to be! I bought them for a trip with the intent to just throw away after, but I loved them so much, I have turned them into my house shoes. I have washed them in the washing machine, and they held up great! I wear an 8.5 in shoes, and they fit well!" — Leif Gilliam Get them from Amazon for $19.
99 (available in women's sizes 5/6–9/10 and in 10 colors). 60. A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle reviewers looooove for its strong throw and high-end scent profile.
Your home will smell like a high-end hotel lobby thanks to this blend of jasmine, oud, and sandalwood notes. And if that scent combo isn't doing it for you, there are oodles of other ones to choose from! Promising review: "Impressive throw for a single-wick candle. I absolutely love this scent.
Each of these notes on their own are beautiful and soft but combined, they are magic . Also, surprising throw for such a small, single wick candle and when I leave it burning for about an hour, it can fill my entire living room. This is a must-get scent.
" — SheenahH Promising review : "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table, and even though it wasn't lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume, I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent, but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you.
The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent . I even bought the shampoo and conditioner, which I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me! " — Melissa I. Get it from Amazon for $19.

I love that the cup is removable so if you have one of those giant Chick-Fil-A ketchup cups, it can sit within the holder without the added cup, but a smaller sauce like from Wendy’s can sit inside the additional cup so it won’t fall through." — catherine Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
