Promising review: "This is an awesome product. Despite our refrigerator’s filter, the ice in the open bin in the freezer was developing odors. This is so much better than baking soda. I can’t believe the difference. The product itself doesn’t seem to have an odor; it just neutralizes the freezer smell so that there is no smell at all. We had even purchased a new ice bin thinking the old bin was the problem. I wish I had figured out this cheaper solution first. I hope it’s still available when it’s time to replace!" —Marell

Souper Cubes is a family-run small biz that specializes in better frozen meal prep and food waste reduction! Their products are BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and have fill lines on the side of the compartments for half and full cups.

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned 1/2-cup and 1-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate

Oh! BTW this stuff is reaaaally STRONG so make sure you do a spot test first — especially if you have sensitive skin!

Promising review: "Cannot recommend enough!!! If you suffer from excessive sweat like I do, this stuff is a lifesaver!! I've always had a problem with underarm sweat and I've tried every kind of antiperspirant available and nothing worked. I finally saw this on BuzzFeed and decided to give it a try. I can't believe I've suffered this long without this product. I showered at night, dabbed the wipe on, took another shower in the morning and it's been almost three days now and almost no sweat! It did itch a little but nothing unbearable and I can deal with that for the pay off!!!" —Kathy

Promising review: "As someone with large boobs, I’ve always struggled with strapless bras and basically accepted that I’d never be able to wear backless clothing. Growing up, I used those little sticky bras (the ones that look like chicken cutlets, you know the ones) but now, they just don’t provide enough coverage or support for 36G boobs. For an upcoming wedding, I got a beautiful jumpsuit with an open-ish back and was determined to find something to hold my boobs up/in. Tried this boob tape and watched a couple of YouTube how-to videos and my life has been changed!!! Worked super well and held up perfectly for 8–9 hours in the LA summer heat (+ after party sweat). Was also not painful at all to remove at the end of the night. Highly recommend this boob tape for your backless top needs!!!" —k

Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog who makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it’s a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it’s fun. MAJOR BONUS!" —Molly

This shampoo formula is cruelty-free and vegan!

Promising review: "After thorough, intensive scrubbing with dish soap, I thought I'd done an ok job on my brushes. FALSE! THIS! This magical, Hogwarts-crafted solution put any soap to shame. Minimal effort, incredible results. I had no idea my brushes could go back to their original color. Best purchase ever." —AC

Promising review: "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

Promising review: "I found exactly what I was looking for in this item. It’s cute and has all the sections I need to successfully keep a balanced budget. Plus I have more fun saving now because I’m a sucker for any kind of organization. Looks exactly like it’s pictured and is good quality." —Megan Williamson

Promising review: "Ok. I never leave reviews but I HAD TO on this!!! MOMS.....BUY! BUY! BUY! we have six kids ranging from 2 months to 13 and our annual beach trip was coming up this past June. I wanted a beach tote that sand wouldn't collect in. I saw this and thought I would try it. I figured it wouldn't be as big as I needed. Fast forward to the day it came in...OMG it is was HUGE in person. Guys, I fit four sand buckets, four sets of beach toys, four small boogie boards in this thing and still had a TON of room to fit more! My only regret was that I didn't buy more than one! This would also be great for laundry, or anything!!!!!"—Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Omg. Y'all, I'm soooo obsessed with this coffee sleeve! Best invention ever! I gotta have my iced coffee, but being outside and in the car, the ice always melts so fast. And I had been using those Java neoprene sleeves, and they were cute, and they helped with the condensation from the cup but didn't keep it cold long, and it made my cup wobbly. I lost my last one so I got on Amazon, and this new item showed up. Fits any size cup and same price as the neoprene sleeves? Ummmm sold! So, I got to use it today for the first time, and I'm in love. Excuse me while I buy every single color and give them as gifts as well! Don't hesitate. Buy it. Buy three. You will not regret it. As a matter of fact, y'all need a spokesperson? I'll shout from the rooftops how obsessed I am with this product!" —BamaMama1026

Promising review: "My engagement ring is silver, and it tarnishes easily. Since I wear it every day, it would get dull and gray very quickly. I was using silver cleaner, but it didn't work very well, and didn't make my ring shiny. These wipes blew that stuff away! Just a few seconds was all it took to make my ring look brand-new. I am so happy with these wipes. So easy, and the results are amazing! I even tried one on my white gold wedding band, and it worked on that too." —Bethany Nadeau

Mouthwatchers is a small biz 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 amazing! 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 and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N.

Promising review: "This item is super easy to use and cuts well every time. I've used it five times already and it works perfectly. It's such a great time-saver and I've even come back to buy more for other friends as a cute little gift. This little helper makes me actually enjoy wrapping presents!! Everyone should have one of these!" —Cathy Bitner

Hook this bad boy up to your luggage handle, lift it up, and the LCD display will let you know how many more outfits you can cram into your suitcase without going over the weight limit. You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements.

Promising reviews: "This scale works and was accurate on four flights. First flight was a test at 46 pounds and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49 but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low cost must have item for air travel." —Robert

"Love it! Lightweight and easy to read! It even gives you the climate temperature (not that I need it but a neat feature). It reads in both kg and lbs. Definitely recommend if you're a frequent traveler and have weight requirements on luggage." —Patricia Velasquez

Promising review: "I have a toddler who tends to be more mobile in the bathtub than I care for. This thing has saved his noggin so many times. Great padding — it doesn’t hurt when he bonks his head, stays in place (my son could not remove it at 15 months and has since given up), and cute. Can’t imagine not having this." —MM

Saucemoto is a small biz founded in 2017 with a goal of designing and manufacturing world-changing products.

Okay, besties, so I have not stopped bragging about my little chicky nuggy dip clip since I got it last Christmas. This is by far one of my favorite things I've ever received. I LOVE chicken nuggets, I wanna be a chicken nugget, but I did not like trying to dunk my nuggets while driving. This thing is so convenient for days that I don't have much time to eat and just have to grab something quick and keep going. Get yourself one if you're nugget obsessed like me, everyone who's seen it in my car has gotten one for themselves and not regretted it!

Promising review: "This is the greatest invention. I’m in my car a lot and anytime I order any fast food I always have to order dip, doesn’t matter what I’m eating. This thing came in handy not only for me but my son, too. Perfect for me because it comes with two holders and I like at least two dips at a time. I know I’m making this out to sound like it’s a billion dollar invention but I just love it. It’s a very handy thing to have in your car. I’m forever spilling my sauces all over the place because there is nowhere to put them, and then I saw this and knew I just had to try it. It’s a total game changer in my car. Thanks to whoever invented this. It’s GREAT!!" —Denise

This kit comes with 10 little lash pieces, an applicator, and a mascara-like bond and glue. Watch TikTok makeup guru Mikayla Nogueira review and apply these lashes here. You also can grab other premade lash fans and apply those instead if you prefer other styles, orrrr take your fave lashes, cut them into sections, and use those! And if you hate lash glue, try these press-on lashes instead!

Promising review: "I have tried to use falsies in the past but have never had much success. These were SO much easier to use. This is my first time trying them so they’re far from perfectly applied and it’s definitely going to be a while before I can apply them easily, but they look decent even with my sucky application. They also don’t poke or irritate my eye at all. I can go hours at a time forgetting I’m even wearing them because they feel so natural. They also look VERY similar to my $200+ eyelash extensions. I applied the bond to one section of lashes at a time instead of all at once so it wouldn’t dry in between applying the lash clusters and it went pretty well. I did have more luck using my fingers to apply than the tweezers. I’ve only had them on for about five hours so far but none of the clusters have loosened or fallen off. I’m very happy with these. I will definitely continue to wear them and practice applying them!" —Kristan

Wad-Free is a woman-owned small biz that was launched during the pandemic by Cyndi, who had a wadding problem and no available solutions, so she created her own!

Promising review: "I loved them, I saw them on TikTok. I didn’t like my bedding getting balled up so I thought I'd try it. It’s cost me a lot of money just to dry bedding, like four cycles to get it dry. This product, I absolutely love it, it was well worth my money. I was surprised that with these, it only took one cycle to dry my sheets. Love 'em, wouldn't trade them for the world." —Jordan Dale Pederson

This little gadget comes with three ink refills.

Promising review: "My shredder broker a while ago and I didn't want to spend a lot of money for another one. I was saving up my personal documents and taking them to my parents' house to shred. I was getting tired of seeing the box of papers in my house then, one night, I was watching some TikTok videos and came across this product. It's a game changer for me. That box of personal documents is gone and I'm a much happier person. This stamp costs a lot less than a shredder, it's super easy to use, comes with ink refills, takes up a lot less space than a shredder, and it gets the job done." —Laura

Promising reviews: "This fabric shaver put a smile on my face! Wow it works like magic and makes my clothes look brand-new. I really love the thoughtful design. Very easy to grab, three settings for different fuzz sizes, and when trying to empty the fuzz collector, collected fuzz stays inside the container and doesn't fall all over the place. That is so clever! I am extremely happy with my purchase!" —Dawn Fellerman

Promising review: "With three weeks of international travel coming up, I purchased these to combat swelling in my feet during the flights. I had noticed swelling after three-hour domestic flights, so I was worried about what almost 30,000 miles would do! I wore these on every leg of the trip and never noticed any swelling — even after the 10–15-hour flights. They are very comfortable, too!" —J. Beaty

These containers help keep your produce fresh by keeping moisture away. They're also designed with a special vent filter, which you never have to replace, to regulate the carbon dioxide and oxygen flow to your produce.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown tried these containers for herself, and, well, you just gotta read her full Rubbermaid FreshWorks container review.

Promising review: "This thing is awesome! I am single and live alone. Every time I buy produce it goes bad well before I can eat all of it. These REALLY work! I have put both grapes and strawberries in these containers and after a week they are just as good and fresh as the day I bought them. Same with lettuce and other veggies. This is my second one. I initially was skeptical so I bought a small one. It worked so well I ended up buying the bigger one as well. I have been recommending them to friends and they all love them. If you are thinking about getting this, just do it! You won't be sorry." —Knarferr

Watch this parent's demo on TikTok.

Promising review: "For years, my kids have been dumping their Legos onto a blanket. Pieces constantly fall off and get lost, and it's a pain to get everything back into the plastic storage bin when they're finished. (And, of course, that job falls to me because they're too little to lift the blanket by themselves.) When this bin arrived, I dumped all of the Legos into it, and then gave it a try. It worked EXACTLY as advertised! I dumped the Legos out onto the fabric, then grabbed the handles and effortlessly dumped everything back into the bin. Now, my kids are able to dump out the Legos all on their own, play with them to their hearts' content, and then put them all away again when they're done. The border keeps most of the pieces on the fabric (a few escaping is unavoidable), and the bright solid color helps them find the piece they need more easily. They're able to put everything away without my help, which is awesome! Plus, when everything is put away, the bin tucks away nicely in the corner. It even matches the fabric/color of our large toy bin! I really wish I had something like this when I was a kid, but I'm incredibly grateful to have it now, as it's making my parenting life MUCH easier!" —Amazon Customer

Dr.Tung's is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral care products.

Promising review: "I had a tool similar to this years ago but it was plastic and shaped a little differently and I just didn’t see much results so I didn’t stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which in this case is a good thing ;-). I’m very happy with the quality of product and the way in which this handy little tool performs. An added plus is the cute travel bag which comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" —Lyra18

Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

It retains heat amazingly and does not bend or falter under extreme temperatures. I'm a college student and I have never felt such joy from making ramen in my small dorm microwave; for a 900-watt I recommend five minutes.
