Promising review: "If you like to eat pancakes for breakfast a lot and want to avoid a lot of dishes, please get this! This is so worth it. I saw this on TikTok and had to get it. Just make sure you’re putting the amount of water that's right for the amount you’re going to eat." —Buchii

Get it from Amazon for $14.96+ (also available as a pancake art kit and two colors).

These are reusable and stick right on the side of your medication bottles.

Promising review: "This product has helped me SO much. I forget things a lot and forget to take my medications far too often. I was hesitant because of the price, but i am incredibly happy with this purchase. I would go as far as saying it has been one of the best things i’ve ever ordered. It is very easy to use, sticks well, and i’ve reused it on multiple bottles already. Id imagine at some point the stickiness will wear off, but I’m going to use glue dots then. And I will absolutely buy again. These are lifesavers… literally, for me. If you’re on the fence about getting these, let this be your sign. I am really grateful for these. :-)" —Lexie P

This is a small, woman-owned business!

Promising review: "This is a miracle worker for my toddler. I bought this after receiving a spider bite on my foot, that was already healed when it came in. Two days after delivery, my 2.5-year-old got stung by a bee or wasp and was screaming and in tears. I broke this out, and he immediately went from screaming to laughing as I used it. It was amazing. He got his second sting today, and the same thing happened: instant pain relief. I don't know what I would do without this thing. Plus, he likes to play with it afterwards which further calms him down. A+++" —Briley Black

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four colors and in packs of two or three).

Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Brittany Ross says: "After seeing countless videos on cleaning TikTok that raved about The Pink Stuff, I knew I had to try it out on my stained, grime-coated sheet tray. I mean, if it could make a dent in that, I'd probably believe in magic. Well, I started scrubbing one corner as a test, and lo and behold, the difference was nothing short of DRAMATIC (check out the photos for proof!). And I didn't even have to scrub very hard, though as someone with ~minimal~ upper body strength, I doubt any force I could physically apply would even constitute as heavy scrubbing. At any rate, it worked so well that I tried it on a pair of dirty tennis shoes and a blue stain that had been singed onto my toaster oven for months, and, yup, it worked. I will say, if you want your sheet trays to look brand spankin' new, you might need one of those cleaning scraper tools to get every last bit off, but as far as general stain removal goes, consider me a FAN."

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

Plus, they're BPA-free, reusable, and created by a small business during the pandemic.

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

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in a four-pack).

Bagnet is a woman-owned small business that specializes in magnetic bag holders and handbags.

Promising review: "This is the best bag holder ever! I was completely blown away, the magnet is SO strong. Works in so many places, in restrooms (try the hinges if the door isn't metal), at restaurants (on tables, chairs, even under the table), at the gym to hold my water bottle and keys so they don't end up on the floor. But my absolute favorite place to use it is on my car! I can attach it to the side of my car while I unlock it without having my hands full and leaving me vulnerable. If you have ever felt nervous trying to fumble with all your stuff while trying to unlock your doors in a dark parking lot, you need this! My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I am going to get one for everyone in my life for Christmas. Any person who carries a bag should have one (or two). Seriously, it's life changing​." —robert rodriguez

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in various styles).

You can preset intervals of 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes.

Promising review: "I was having a hard time trying to potty train my son, and this watch was a miracle! The instructions are very easy to read when setting the watch up, and the music isn't overly annoying like most toys/items can be!" —Destiny Fletcher

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available with or without a battery replacement and sticker charts; more colors available here).

Tidy-Cup is a woman-owned small business started after the founder, Julie Reinhold, was tired of detergent containers dripping all over her laundry room floor.

Promising review: "This product is awesome. We never buy the large jugs of laundry detergent because my husband hates the mess they make. Whenever my MIL would buy us a large jug, we would pour it into smaller ones. Such a pain! We can finally buy the big sizes and not worry about a mess. Works exactly like expected!" —Cari A.

Get it from Amazon for $13.75.

Promising review: "A must-have for ALL pet owners. This contraption is genius and will save cat (and dog) owners so much time and frustration retrieving toys. We used this beneath our oven and it works PERFECTLY. Cat can't destroy it (the way she shredded the foam insulation we had stuffed under there before) and we no longer have to get the yardstick out when literally all of her toys are 'gone.' Yes, this is a challenge to install, but 100% worth it. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat." —Allison Goldstein

Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in three sizes).

It also doubles as a strainer, and you can use the holes in the lid to portion out long pastas.

Promising reviews: "I found out about this on TikTok and decided to give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! This pasta cooker is incredibly versatile and cooks pasta perfectly. Just by following the instructions to add pasta and water and using the appropriate cooking time, I've been able to make spaghetti, penne and even shells for Velveeta mac 'n' cheese! I decided to buy a second one to keep just in case. I would definitely recommend getting this for yourself or for a gift." —Gaby Brillante

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

Promising reviews: "I saw this item on TikTok and ran to Amazon to buy it. I got it with same-day shipping and INSTANTLY started using it out of the box. When I say I’m honestly obsessed. I've finally found a product that was wellllll worth the money." —shae

"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 $29.99.

Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

Get it from Amazon for$12.49 (available in two lid colors).

Promising review: "I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help in opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters. There was one person who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the 'V' closest to you and with it placed in the front, in the right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions, and it works perfectly and easily. I have already placed an order for another one for a gift or for my sister." —cat lover

Get it from Amazon for $16.39 (also available in a two-pack).

Sheet Keeper is a small business in Los Angeles.

Promising review: "Great product. Came quickly and they work great! Such a great idea to keep sheets organized and together while being able to tell what size bedding it is. Will order again for sure!" —devonhansen1

Get two from Sheet Keeper on Etsy for $13.99 (available in six sizes).

Promising reviews: "My 15-month-old got her first ear infection and she REFUSES medication so I didn't know how we were going to survive the 10 days of 2x/day antibiotics. She never took to a pacifier so I was skeptical this would work, but it is a MIRACLE PRODUCT! My toddler now happily grabs it and sucks down her medication. I love how you can attach any plastic syringe to it, so it will work great for Advil/Motrin/Tylenol too. I also find it really easy to clean. I am going to tell ALL parents to get this ASAP!" —Jennifer Yager

"EVERY PARENT NEEDS THIS!! It is seriously amazing and saved us. My daughter has reflux and needs meds 2x/day. The med is bitter and she was gagging and spitting it out until we got this. I give her the pacifier while changing her diaper and then inject the medicine once she's sucking on it for a minute and it goes right down. No fighting or tears and most importantly, no loss of medicine. MIRACLE." —IBFab

Get it from Amazon for $12.84.

Promising review: "This is perfect for organizing my underwear and socks. You can start with one order, which should fill half a drawer. If you like it you can order another and expand across the whole drawer. I've used the same organizer in three different houses, and it has survived being taken apart and reassembled twice without the joining holes coming apart." —Bruton Gaster

Get it from Amazon for $8.30.

Promising review: "I really love these hammocks. My kids always have their stuffed animals laying all over their room and this just takes care of the mess but still keeps them visible so we can all be happy. Holds quite a few, and definitely holds up well. Very sturdy!" —Holli Wagner

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.87 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "My grandkids (four at present) always shower after being in our pool all day before heading home to bed. They used to have toys all over my shower. They love this organizer in the shower as I placed it at their height and they have access to all of their toys! I LOVE IT since now it's not a mess all over my shower when they're done as they also enjoy placing their toys in the provided pockets! Win Win." —April L.H.

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and pre-stocked with toys or by itself).

ScratchPad for Dogs is a small biz in Atlanta.

FYI: Each purchase includes training instructions to get your dog to use it on their own. And they even include free support from certified trainers!

Promising review: "Love this scratch pad! We adopted our dog almost a year ago and he's been terrified of clippers and grinders since day one. We've never been able to maintain his nails due to his super reactive anxiety around nail care. That's all changed since we got the Scratch Pad a few weeks ago! He took to it right away and his nails have shown significant improvement in just a few sessions!" —Kira Armajani

Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $46.95+ (available in four styles and three grit levels).

This includes a toothpaste dispenser, four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.

Promising review: "To All MAMAS: A TRUE MUST-HAVE from a mama who KNOWS!!! Every household with kids should have this thing, actually EVERY HOUSEHOLD, REGARDLESS! No more finding toothpaste everywhere but down the sink drain, no more throwing half a tube away because of lost caps. Insert your favorite brand in the dispenser and voilà! Simply press your brush against lever and a perfectly portioned dollop every time. When it's time to rinse, grab one of the four cups that are hidden in the top and bottom of this little masterpiece. Rinse your brush, open the storage compartment, hang brush, and shut lid! Bristles are covered and protected from the wide array of germs that like to inhabit bathrooms." —Jen

Get it from Amazon for $16.77+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Absolutely great product. I have five of my heavy coats on one hanger and IT'S NOT EVEN BOWING!!! Incredible! Just plastic but works great! I'm so tired of rooting through my closet! This saves me so much time and energy." —Kelsey

This straps on the the middle console.

Promising review: "This has made a huge difference in the state of my car's inside. My kids were always throwing their garbage on the floor of the car. Now, there's no excuse. I put a plastic grocery bag as the liner and then just tie it up and throw it out when it's full." —Alissa Olawski

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in two sizes).

Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy.

Promising review: "Miracle product. My 4-year-old has long, curly hair. She sleeps like she's in an MMA ring and subsequently wakes up with hair matted and tangled. She cries if you brush it because it's obviously a nightmare. I got this and spray it all over her dry hair and HOLY MOLY where has this been?! The brush glides through her hair with no issue. I don't know what magical unicorn made this stuff but I swear by this now!" —Meghan Anne

Get it from Amazon for $9.58 (also available in a two-pack).

Reviewers swear this brush works on all hair types: straight, wavy, or curly (from 3a–4c hair).

Promising review: "Miracle brush for wild toddler hair. My toddler has a mean case of the tangles every morning. I don't know what she does in the night, but she wakes up with a rat's nest on the back of her head every morning. It was like torture every morning to brush her baby fine (but dense) hair. I felt horrible. I tried everything and every kind of brush, to no avail. Finally, I found this one. I use a detangling spray and this brush, and she now actually enjoys getting her hair brushed! Her little ringlets are restored and her hair looks beautiful every day with minimal effort. I would buy this brush 10x over, just to not make her cry from the tangled mess. Highly recommend! (and always start detangling from the bottom up, that's a big help!)" —Chimney161

Get it from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in eight colors and two-packs).

Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20.08+ (available in two scents, various sizes, and with our without a spray nozzle).

Promising review: "I bought this for me since I’m not very good at cat-eye eyeliner looks and I love them. This was a hit and so easy to use! The pigment is amazing and lasted all night without smudging or fading. I had to use makeup remover oil to remove it. Now since I have two teen daughters this didn't stay in my makeup case for long; my daughter uses it and I gave her mine and will be picking up another one for me soon. Happy I tried it and will continue to purchase it again." —Amber Barcelona

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).

Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in natural cleaning products.

Promising review: "This product is amazing! It works fast with pretty minimal elbow grease. The stainless-steel sponge that comes with it makes it easier. And it smells great!" —Melissa C.

Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).

Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violets plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

Get 48 spikes from Amazon for $5.69.

Promising review: "I am a NEAT FREAK! I love to clean. I literally clean my house daily. It can't be clean enough. I have a two-story, three-bedroom three-bathroom house with two dogs. This vacuum cleans all of it! This gadget is legit like a little human vacuuming your floors, but super throughly. It goes over all my rugs and hardwood floors, and it goes in the bathrooms and closets and under all the furniture. Once in a while it gets caught in the wires underneath my TV but most of the time it is able to get itself out of it. It's quiet. My dogs barely even notice it. This is worth every penny! It's easy to set up and easy to clean after each use. It does all the hard work for you. Since I’ve had mine, I’ve literally gotten five friends to buy one and they all love it too. (This is NOT a paid advertisement or review. This is just a review from a normal woman who really loves her floors clean.)" —Shannon

Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (also available in white).
