1. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper for julienne-ing, chopping, spiraling, and slicing vegetables to your heart's content. And it has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan without any mess or store them for meal prepping.
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in four colors).
2. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" featuring soft, multilayer bristles that are essentially like strong pieces of floss that really get in between your chompers. As someone who just got her THIRD root canal at 25 years of age, I advise you: PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH, PEOPLE.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what one of our writers, Emma Lord, has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN
Get a pair from Amazon for $9.90 (also available as a four-pack).
3. The cult-famous, cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess mascara which has over 200,000 5-star ratings if you're looking to achieve long, flake-free lashes that'll hold up all day long.
Promising review: "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5 you couldn’t ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." —Kd
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors and a three-pack).

4. A super cute octopus-shaped blackhead remover you can use to gently scrub away dead skin and help get rid of excess sebum, blackheads, whiteheads, and general face grime.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, it works great so far." —MarMarManuel
*Another* promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
5. A Cosrx snail essence for a nice dose of hydration for dry (or normal) skin. This formula contains *96%* snail mucin, which is kinda nature's MVP for intense yet incredibly gentle skin repair. Glass skin, here you come!
Promising reviews: "I caved to the TikTok hype and now I am obsessed, lol! I have extremely sensitive skin but this was the first product that I didn’t have to go through a 'getting used to' phase." —Shelby
"Best skincare purchase of my life! If you are questioning buying this product let me ease your mind and say you will absolutely not regret it!! I’m 39 and I’ve had a lifetime of dry skin. Literally the first day I applied this my skin was supple and soft by nighttime. No dry feeling, it’s totally gone. I have heard amazing things about snail mucin and I am totally sold. My skin has not felt this good probably since I was a teenager. Even the little bumps on the side of my face where it was dry and flaky are totally gone." —Ginger Leigh
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
6. Nyx's Pore Filler Targeted Stick that will soon become a makeup routine go-to. This helps blur enlarged pores without adding any shine. Keep it in your purse for touch-ups throughout the day!
Check out a TikTok of the Nyx Pore Filler in action.
Promising review: "This is a life-changing product for me. I have HUGE visible pores that really age my face, as well as incredibly acne-prone skin that makes me break out from just about every product. I've started to use NYX Pore Filler on my face with some regularity, and it doesn't seem to cause any irritation or breakouts. It does an AMAZING job filling in and smoothing out my face texture. The difference to my skin consistency is astounding. My skin looks so smooth when I use this product. In the photo I'm using it on just one side of my nose and under the eye area, and the difference is very noticeable. (I think.)" —Jenny Penny
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
7. And bestselling Revolin oil-absorbing face roller made of real volcanic stone to help get rid of any extra shine you might accumulate throughout the day.
8. The Colossal Foot File because it's about to get super dry with the cold coming, and you don't want your feet to get all flakey. Plus, you'll absolutely love watching all that dead skin peel away.
Promising reviews: "I heard about this from BuzzFeed and TikTok and thought I might try it. I don’t have terrible feet, just wanted something a little more effective than a pumice stone. I soaked my feet for 10 minutes and gave this a shot, and it did not disappoint! I had no idea it could get so much dry skin and callus off, and my feet have not looked like this since I was a teen (I am in my 30s). This will eliminate the need to go get a pedicure regularly and save me a ton of money. Don’t hesitate, just buy it." —KR
"AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently, and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them. This is all you need!!! I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute! I'll never use anything else! Even better than professional pedicures!!!" —Kyla Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
9. A bottle of the TikTok-famous Elizavecca hair treatment packed with collagen and soy protein to revive damaged, dull, or brittle hair, leaving you with super-soft locks in just five minutes.
Promising reviews: "I have tried everything on the market to fix my damaged, bleached hair that keeps breaking off. I stumbled across this hair treatment on TikTok. I had never heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I used it for the first time yesterday and I couldn't believe how amazing it made my hair feel and look. It's sooo soft, shiny, bouncy and nourished. My bleached rats nest now looks and feels like virgin hair again. Even my boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my hair and you know it's a GOOD product when the boyfriend notices :D I’m going to buy a lot more of this product. I’ve been really frustrated about my hair for years now because of all the damage; now I can finally relax and enjoy my new hair. <3" —Eline
"I was skeptical. I’ll admit it. I wasn’t sure this would work on my 4c hair but it made my hair so soft! And I didn’t need to use a tremendous amount of product. It made it easy to comb out and blow dry my hair. It even made it smoother after the flatiron. You can’t beat it for the price." —Niki D.

Get it from Amazon for $7.40.
10. A TheraICE Migraine relief cap designed with an internal cooling gel that can help if you suffer from headaches or migraines. Reviewers rave that the cooling properties help ease the aches in their heads while they sleep, so they can wake up refreshed and pain free!
11. A set of disposable air fryer liners so you can enjoy all the fun of whipping up delicious meals this fall (yay) without the hassle of a tough clean up (nay).
Promising reviews: "Love these liners I saw on TikTok! What a time saver!" —Angie
"I was skeptical but I was also tired of cleaning my air fryer of crumbs all the time. I have a PowerXl air fryer and one of these fits perfectly in there. I can do french fries or any other fried food and discard the liner and the fryer is still nice and clean. I use two when I do juicy items, hot dogs, chicken breast, sausage and when I'm done I take out the meat and lift out the liners and all the gross juice comes out with it leaving the fryer ready to clean in the sink with hot water, no gross juice to pour out or get in the sink. I highly recommend." —Kevin M. Harer
Get a set of 125 from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in different sizes and shapes for square and round air fryers).
12. A sleek Beast Blender that, of course, can make a mean smoothie, but can also do So. Much. More. You can infuse water, blend soup, and whip up dips with this baby! We love a gal who can truly do it all.
Check out a TikTok of the Beast Blender in action.
Promising review: "I have tried so many blenders, and they all break, or the blending power won’t be as strong within a few months. This blender has been so great the last few months! It’s super easy to use and super easy to clean. Before I purchased the blender, I was worried the blender cup would be too small for my husband's smoothie, but it was a perfect size for us. The blending power is amazing, and the blender isn’t loud either!" —Vanessa Mendez
Get it from Amazon for $164.95 (available in three colors).
13. A bottle of enzyme-activated Angry Orange stain remover to tackle those tough-to-get-rid-of accidents on most surfaces, including carpets, tile, concrete, fabric, and more. Plus, it leaves a nice citrus smell behind.
Angry Orange is a small business that specializes in home cleaning products.
Promising review: "I actually found out about this product on TikTok. I have a Great Dane who is 99% of the time indoors. I love her to death, but she does stink sometimes. I don't want to bathe her too much because she has skin allergies and is prone to dry skin which I use coconut oil for. I noticed she was also getting that old dog smell. She's 10 now, which is ancient for Giant Breeds. This spray has helped alot to eliminate her dog-gone smell I know my house has." —Morgan
Get it from Amazon for $19.96.
14. A slightly cropped half-zip pullover you're gonna live in this fall while you're strolling through apple orchards, hanging up Halloween decorations, and watching Hocus Pocus for the hundredth time. Reviewers love that this has all the comfort of a hoodie but enough structure that it's easy to wear for errand running and workouts, too.
Promising review: "I saw this sweatshirt advertised by an influencer on TikTok. I purchased almost immediately because everyone said it was a good comparison for the Lululemon jacket. I was blown away by the quality of this jacket!! It’s super soft. I purchased a size small and it fit perfectly." —Rebecca Slattery
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 18 colors).
15. An AirPod cleaning pen to gently clean out your beloved music-listening device so you can listen to "HOT-TO-GO" the way Chappell intended it to be listened to.
Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members and boy am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" —JMilwaukee
Get it from Amazon for $6.39 (available in two colors).
16. A cloud-shaped utility knife to help you easily open your packages or make very precise cuts if you're working on a fun arts and crafts project. Also... look how cute it is!!!
Check out a TikTok of the cloud knife in action.
Promising review: "I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." —Amy Yasneski
Get a set of six from Amazon for $13.99.
17. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you work from home and need to remain "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack when you need to run to the bathroom real quick or take the dog out.
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six styles).
18. A cold brew coffee maker so you can save some dough by skipping your daily coffee shop stop. You just have to put your favorite ground coffee in the filter, seal the airtight lid on top, and pop it in the fridge overnight. And you'll wake up to 4 cups of delicious cold brew ready to give you energy for the day!
Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, i love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E.
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
19. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover because you don't want to live with the shame of one teeeeeny red wine spill for the rest of your life.
Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action.
Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase.
Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long pre-soak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
20. A magnetic microwave cover — listen, soup season is upon us and you don't want documentation of all your delicious soupy meals splattered all over your microwave.
Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action.
Promising review: "If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $22.94.
21. A game-changing "bed wedge" pillow if you're sick of losing the remote, snacks, books, and even pillows in the black hole that is the space between your mattress and headboard.
Bonus: There's a lil' side pocket for your phone, glasses, or other nighttime accessories.
Promising review: "I did not realize that these were out there until I watched a TikTok about one. This has saved my pillows. I do have a headboard, but there was about a three-inch gap between it and my mattress. This has stopped my pillows from sliding down in between. I have had no issues at all with it. I did let it sit for almost 72 hours while it was getting its shape back from being in a shipping container, but after that it was perfect!!! I highly recommend." —Miss_Beck
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+(available in 14 sizes and two colors).
22. A set of Wonder Hangers so you can make the most of your space in your closet and save up to three times as much storage for when you decide to go on a fall shopping spree.
Check out a TikTok of the Wonder Hangers in action.
Promising review: "These are so clever and versatile! I live in an old house with tiny closets so I have to get creative. These are great because they can be used hanging horizontally or vertically. I also found they work great for hanging camisoles and tank tops. I can see what I have and take just the one I need!" —Therese Van Heuveln
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors and two pack sizes).
23. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash formulated with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to help with the tiny bumps of keratosis pilaris (aka KP or chicken skin) that you would rather not have to deal with.
Promising review: "I bought it because a dermatologist on TikTok recommended it for keratosis pilaris (or strawberry skin) on the upper arms and legs. I have been using it with the matching SA lotion and I have noticed a big different in my KP. I am only halfway through the bottle (and lotion) and I love it so far. Will definitely be buying again and again." —Janine C.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99
24. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, so effective, you might just want to throw out all your other cleaning products. I kid you not; this can clean all kinds of surfaces. Kitchen counter? Oven door? Bath tiles? This *pink magic* can do it all!
A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.
Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand-new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
25. A clear magnetic refrigerator dry-erase board because you and your roommates have completely opposite work schedules and this is the most convenient way to communicate that SOMEONE needs to buy toilet paper ASAP.
It also includes four dry-erase markers!
Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok being used as a dinner menu for the week! It will help me be more organized and add little chores that needs to completed or important reminders. Love it, no complaints." —Clarince Thomas
Get it from Amazon for $13.19.
26. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that works in just 20 seconds! Fall is the season of sipping on red wine (without the headaches, of course), after all!
It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be raring to go!
Promising review: "I ordered this product after seeing it on TikTok with further investigation. And I must say it does work. I love sweet wine but will always get a headache the next morning (one glass). After using it, I did not have one the next morning. 😊" —Theresa B.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
27. And finally, a refreshing portable sparkling water maker reviewers love for how easy it is to use — all you have to do is pop on the cap with a cartridge, and your drink of choice will come out sparkly and delish!
Each bottle comes with 20 mini CO2 cartridges (with more refills available separately).
Check out a TikTok of the Ote sparkling water maker in action.
Promising review: "Love this bottle/soda maker. I am obsessed with fizzy drinks and cannot take my bulkier at-home maker with me to work or when I travel. This maker allowed me the compact convenience of taking my fizzy drinks everywhere I go. I can control what I put in my body and always get my flavors I love. 10 out of 10 do recommend! —Zeusboomer911
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
