Promising review: "These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from bleeding.

9. A miniature clay pottery wheel that lets kids and adults make cute clay vases and sculptures in a mess-free environment. 

Amazon

Promising review: "This mini pottery wheel was great for my daughter, and we had a blast playing with it. It was a bit of a learning curve at first, but we figured it out. I wish the pottery we made could be bigger. Maybe this is just a beginner's kind of device, but it sparked my interest so much that I want to get something larger now and do some real pottery. Overall, it was worth it." —Jason Custodio

Get it from Amazon for $21.98+ (available in regular or deluxe, which makes double the amount of projects).

11. A disco ball diffuser so your next dance party can smell like, really good. 

Amazon

Promising review: "This dopamine decor really hits the spot. Ordered one and noticed I wasn't receiving a strong mist after a few uses.

We are still going strong with this new one and I use it EVERY DAY." —Addie Miller

Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

12. A Take-n-Slide medication tracker to ensure you don't accidentally miss a day or take a double dosage. It'll be more effective than counting out the pills and trying to remember when you picked up the bottle. 

Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I've been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I've tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." —Niki

Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).

13. A box of Goodles Cheddy Mac that tastes just as good as (or arguably better than) that blue box of mac 'n' cheese you had as a kid, but with more protein, fiber, and nutrients. Add veggies and bam — it's a well-rounded grown-up meal!

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely loved Goodles! So delicious and a much better and more nutritious alternative to Kraft or similar. I like to cook the noodles just a minute or two less than the instructions suggest so they aren't mushy. I always use salted butter instead of unsalted. Super tasty paired with chicken and roasted veggies!" —Erica Rowland

Get it from Amazon for $3.39.

14. A non-aerosol dry shampoo with a little pouf you can pat on your scalp to release a grease-absorbing powder with root-boosting black ginseng and biotin. Its small size makes it perfect for hair refreshes on the go. 

Amazon

This is a popular choice — it has over 3,000 positive reviews! 

Promising review: "I have been an avid user of dry shampoo for over a decade…I have very fine hair that gets oily the day after I wash it, so it has just been a part of my daily routine. After trying this product last fall, I have sworn off all other dry shampoos. I love that it's not an aerosol container, I love that it isn't heavily scented, and I love that I use it once and I can go three or four days without washing my hair again. Try this product, you will not regret it." —Erica McGregor

Get it from Amazon for $18.

15. For all you floss-haters — a toothbrush sporting two layers of bristles. These are great for sensitive teeth but can also be used to clean grout and other small areas of your home in need of a refresh.

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90.

Uncommon Goods

Get it from Rhea for $12.

19. Some felt coasters shaped like miniature pizza pies. They even come in a pizza box to really sell the theme. 

Promising review: "The cutest coasters ever! These are better than the pictures in the listings. Great gift idea and very good conversation pieces. This is also great if you have a pizza-themed room or space. The coasters are truly functional and space efficient. Highly recommend!" —Dara M

Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in five colors). 

21. Kinfield's Golden Hour bug spray made with a unique strain of Indonesian citronella that actually smells good — think citrus and vanilla. Customers looking to avoid DEET swear up and down that it really works.

Kinfield

Heads up: As far as "natural" bug sprays go, the CDC only recommends formulas with oil of lemon eucalyptus so I don't recommend using this in super buggy areas. That said, based on the reviews, you should be covered for casual picnics and backyard hangs. 

Promising review: "Mosquitos like to eat me up and make me puff up like an itchy water balloon, but I've had absolutely ZERO bites while wearing this stuff. I love that it's not a bunch of nasty, sticky DEET chemicals. I recommend applying it outside though if you have cats or dogs, since essential oils aren't great for them to ingest or inhale. Made the mistake of applying inside one time and it was very strong so I cordoned my cats off from the area lol. A lot of people seem to complain about the scent but I personally love the smell of citronella so it doesn't bother me. I'll be using this for LIFE!" —TJ R.

Get it from Kinfield for $22.

22. Journal stamps that add some extra structure to your agenda. The 18-piece kit comes with various designs that'll allow you to add the days of the week, star ratings, reading lists, and more.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This is my first time purchasing a large stamp set on Amazon so I wasn't sure which set I should go with. I wanted something for journaling and this set seemed to have a nice variety of productivity stamps. I love the fact that they are rubber stamps, and they print clearly on paper. They're not too big or small either." —Beautybydesy

Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $20.99.

23. A rainbow doormat from the Novogratz collection that'll look great-ient outside your door.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The cutest way to brighten up a drab apartment walkway. Colors are vivid, mat is sturdy and has held up well." —Sav

Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

24. A three-pack of color drip candles that reveal more and more hues the longer they're lit. What a delightful surprise!

amazon.com

Promising review: "Love these candles! Don't be deterred by the candles out the box, though they are mostly white on the outside there are lots of primary color pockets on the inside. They do take a while to burn (three to four hours by my count) but the results are by far worth being patient for. As the flame works through the candle, the primary color pockets blend with the white as well as with each other to create a wide range of colors...I've seen yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, greens, and blues on my finished bottles." —5ammosh

Get six candles from Amazon for $13.92.

25. The Reverse Coloring Book which starts with watercolor-like blobs — it's up to you to add the lines! This is great for anyone who loves to find shapes in the clouds. 

The book has 50 pages of watercolor art, and the pages are perforated so you can tear them out and frame them.  

Promising review: "Changed my life. So I get anxious doing the adult coloring books. This was so much fun and made me really think outside of the box. I'm not the best at drawing but I felt like I was when I was a kid doodling in my textbooks in school." —Carley C. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.90. 

(And throw in these black fine point pens for $9.99!) 

26. Dasique Cream de Butter lip tint that comes in packaging that looks like a stick of butter. And like butter, the lip tint is deliciously creamy and melts on your lips. 

Amazon

Promising review: "To start off, the mauve cream is a very nude pink color on my lighter skin tone. It's very lightweight and has a velvety texture. Even though it's matte, it doesn't dry out my lips. Apply this after exfoliating because it clings to area that I didn't even know were dry until after a while of applying this. Overall I think this product is pretty good if it were done with lip prep before." —K

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four colors).

27. A National Geographic geodes science kit for aspiring geologists looking to get some aggression out by whaling on some rocks with a hammer. The kit comes with four geodes you can break open to discover dazzling crystals. 

Promising review: "I'm an adult in my 30s, but I was such a rock nerd as a kid, so when I saw this kit I knew I had to buy it! I ended up buying it for myself and my adult siblings as a Christmas present — we had so much fun cracking open the rocks on Christmas Day, it brought be back to my childhood! Highly recommend this kit, you get a lot of rocks for the price, and it's so fun cracking open a rock and discovering what's inside." —Anna

Get it from Amazon for $19.12+ (available in four sizes).

28. Open-toed memory foam slippers that are giving *teddy bear*. The soles are anti-slip and water resistant, so you can even stay cozy out of the house. 

Promising review: "These slippers are amazing. They are so comfortable and look so expensive, and they are high-quality for the low price. Great for after the shower and wearing around the house and super easy to wash in the washing machine. I've had these for over a year, and they are still in perfect condition." —Sydney Nicole

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes 6.5-12 and five colors). 

29. Pure Instinct, a "pheromone-infused" roll-on perfume that's marketed as a way to make yourself smell more desirable. Reviewers love the subtle, sweet scent, and many claim they've had some romantic success after wearing it! Whether the cause is the perfume or a placebo confidence boost, the result is the same. ;) 

Pure Instinct is a small business established in 1985 that specializes in personal fragrances and essential oils. 

Promising review: "If you love Basic Instinct by Pure Romance, you will LOVE this affordable alternative! To me it smells almost exactly the same; there is an extremely slight difference in smell that I'm sure others around me wouldn't even pick up on, and I still LOVE the smell! I love Basic Instinct, but ran out awhile ago and just couldn't justify spending that much money on more. I'm so glad I found this alternative!" —MN Tigerlily

Get it from Amazon for $16.95. 

30. Mosquito Dunks to kill mosquitoes before they're even big enough to bite you.

Amazon

You can throw these in your watering can or any standing water in your backyard. They contain BTI, which is bacteria toxic to mosquito larvae. It lasts up to a month and treats 100 square feet of surface water. 

Promising review: "So far this is the best method I have found to rid your houseplants of pesky flies, gnats, and other unwelcome guests. I keep half a dunk in my watering can at all times. When it dissolves (usually after a couple of months), I replace it with another. Works great on the houseplants. I tried a lot of other stuff first and nothing compared." —Joshua J. Homemaker
