Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of their veggie chopper in action.

Promising review: "I gave this 5 stars because it’s easy to use and easy to clean. I wanted something affordable that would easily do the job of chopping and dicing. I love this and use it almost everyday!" —Alisha Acosta

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors and styles).

Check it out on TikTok here! And read about how BuzzFeeder Heather Braga uses it:

"After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning."

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 $5.97+ (available in two sizes).

Here's more from BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes (those are her photos above!):

"I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside."

The Bug Bite Thing (of Shark Tank fame) works on bites from mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, and more. Basically, the gadget sucks out insect venom and saliva — two things that lead to itchiness and irritation. With that out, your skin should stop swelling and be back to normal in no time!

Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca

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

The nifty device releases an odorless vapor that kills insects and prevents future infestations for up to four months. It also comes with an adhesive strip so installation is easy peasy.

Promising review: "I ordered this product hoping it would work but not getting my hopes up. Installation was easy peasy lemon squeezy. It scared off every fly (even the horseflies!) from my trash bin! It was miraculous! Like a good dog owner I pick up my dog's doodoo and throw it in there and we haven’t had a single fly! I can’t believe this isn’t magic!" —Yessica Prato

Get it from Amazon for $9.84.

Promising review: “We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. Works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch-long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!” —Jessica N.

Get it from Amazon for $13.19+ (available in five sizes).

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly put these to the test as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding:

"When my friend asked me to be a bridesmaid and I learned I'd be walking on grass for the ceremony, I got a bit worried. What's a klutz with a high center of gravity to do while trying not to 1) fall down in front of approximately 150 guests or 2) keel over while quietly stifling tears during her friends' vows? Buy some Heel Stoppers, that's what! I was able to easily slip them onto the glitter-encrusted heels (and later remove them with no damage to the heels).

On the day of the ceremony, these sturdy pieces of plastic made the heels much easier to walk in and prevented me from aerating the lawn. My feet still hurt to high heavens because those gorgeous shoes don't have a lot of support for a seldom stiletto-wearer like me. Out of all the dough I spent on my bridesmaid ensemble, these were the biggest bang for my buck!"

Get a pair on Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes).

Promising review: "Very, very nice. I am a renter so putting a huge hole in the wall to hide my wires was not going to happen. After searching for something that could help with the look of the wires in my living room, I was glad to have come across this socket! I love it. I just installed it last night, I’m extremely happy with the look and the adhesive works really good. I highly recommend it. :)" —Nlizr

Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in five different lengths/configurations).

Promising review: "OMG, these should be standard issue to every human. I’ve bought them all — the cheap foot files and the expensive ones. None of them remotely compare to this one. I thought I was doomed to have course heels forever, but no more! With just one use, my heels are fabulous! The calluses this thing removed were absolutely disgusting, but I couldn’t be happier. You won’t be disappointed!" —JMart

Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

Promising review: "I've tried so many different products that are supposed to allow you to carry multiple bags at once, but nothing has worked as well as this! It's easy to use: Just hold one end of the handle and thread the other end through the handles on the bags. Carrying the bags over my shoulder works really well for me because it allows me to spread the weight of the bags over my hips and back rather than taking all the weight on my shoulder. It's very well-made, sturdy, and really makes your life easier. It's worth the money." —S. Hill

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. 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. It makes parenting life MUCH easier!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Housework has a lot to teach about physics, math, and philosophy. There is no greater reminder of the Sisyphean fight against entropy than household chores, and Zeno's paradox is exemplified by the little line of dirt left behind by the dustpan, reducing in magnitude by half each time you try to sweep it up, and yet you can never make it go away. The existential crisis I have every time I clean my house has been alleviated by the EyeVac. Just sweep the undesirable atoms (cat hair and litter) into the sensor zone of the vacuum, and like an event horizon, the dirt disappears, sucked into a black hole. Highly recommended." —Joy

Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in eight colors).

Promising reviews: "These work great. The key twists the empty section of the tube easily so every bit of the toothpaste is used with no fuss. Have one for my husband and I and for each of the two kids. Highly recommend this product. Update: All four of these are still working and looking great after couple years of constant use. Super pleased!" —Chelley Patterson

Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.21 (available in two color combinations).

Promising review: "Came across these on an online article about things you need in your house and let me tell you, they were right! I love this on my toothpaste. It's easy, quick, and you use less." —False_Farewells

Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.95.

The seat gap filler is flexible and fits into most cars. The pack comes with two gap fillers (one for both the driver and passenger sides), a sticky pad for keeping items like your phone from sliding around, and an LED car light.

Promising review: "Love the Stop Drop! Nothing is worse than a lost cell phone down the crack of my car. No more crumbs or a French fry either. This product was super easy to install. Buy it, you’ll love it too!" —Jan

Get a pair from Amazon for $24.99.

The hooks have a side-opening attachment for easy install, so worry not. No seats will be harmed in the organization of this car.

Promising review: "I love these! I recently purchased a smaller car and don't have room for my purse in the front seat anymore. These books are awesome and sturdy." —Erin

Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in beige).

Promising review: "These little things are a must for the pool. They soak up the oily film created by sunscreen. Easy to use and clean. Throw them in and let them float around.. Every so often wring them out outside the pool and they are good to go again." —Blade

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99.

Bed Band is a small business that manufacturers in the USA. Each pack comes with four bands which can stretch from 12 to 18 inches and hold adequate tension.

Promising review: "Say goodbye to rearranging your fitted sheet every morning! My boyfriend sleeps like he’s rolling down a hill, so every morning I would wake up to the scratchy feel of my mattress cover because my soft silk fitted sheet was all over the place. Thanks to these Bed Bands, our sheets stay put no matter what. The only way for your fitted sheet to come off is if you manually remove these first. I wish I would have bought this so much sooner." —Khalysee

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors and four pack sizes).

Once it loses its stickiness, just wash it off with water, and it'll be good to go again! Check it out on TikTok here.

Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." —Wenhether

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors).

Wad-Free is a small biz from Cyndi Bray. Their products are made in the USA. Just pop the corners of your flat or fitted sheet into the device, and you'll never have to deal with tangling and twisting again! Believe it or not (I mean believe it...the reviews are there), the manufacturer even says that your sheets will dry 75% faster and with fewer wrinkles.

Get it from Amazon or Wad-Free for $19.99.

The bundlers work like any other Command product — with damage-free adhesive.

Promising review: "I have one of these attached to almost every cord-having thing I own and for maybe $30 in total I feel like my whole life got a face lift. My stand mixer looks better on the counter and it stays clean even when everything else is a mess. My space heaters store so neatly in the linen closet. I have an HDMI cord bundled to the back of each TV. There's a bundler stuck between my car's dash and console which holds two phone chargers. Truly, especially for the price, I could not recommend something more highly." —Amber Stewart

Get them from Amazon for $9.37+ (available in various pack sizes).

The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business in Kelso, Washington. Check out this helpful video that shows you how to load and unload the Roll Keeper!

Promising review: "Our family is growing, and I realized there's a lot of space in a closet that isn't being used. That's how I came across these, and now I have them in all the closets. They make getting clothes so easy, and now we have more space for the growing family! XOXO!" —Megan

Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $17.99 or from Amazon Handmade for $23.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This has been an awesome makeup tool! No more wasting foundation or spending time trying to get the last bit of makeup out of the bottle." —AmazonCustomer

Promising review: "Best eyeliner ever! This item was a 'TikTok made me buy it.' LOL, but overall I am truly happy with this purchase. Thank you! Your product is truly amazing!" —Samantha Lopez

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three styles).

The covers just slip right into the gap — there's no adhesive involved — so you can easily remove and clean them whenever necessary.

Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now, when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

SheetKeeper is a woman-owned small business based 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 a set of two from SheetKeeper on Etsy for $11.99 (available in sizes twin—California king).

Or if you have textured hair, a 24-hour edge tamer (but reminder: No one has to lay their edges — it's a personal choice!).

Promising review: "Seriously, how on earth does this work?? I have tried everything to get my baby hairs that never really grew back from chemo to lay down and nothing worked. This product works. I mean, it WORKS. So, in the picture I uploaded, the hair that is sticking up on the left side of my head (right side on the picture) is what I am talking about. You can see that there's a good bit of it and that it basically just stood almost straight out. Not anymore. Not with this finishing stick. And it doesn't make your hair crunchy or shiny, either. Y'all, I'm serious! This product is simply amazing." —Liesl McQuillan

Get it from Amazon for $5.59.

Promising review: "This is a great item to add to your bath time routine! I usually take a bath once or twice a week as a way to unwind, but the tubs in my house aren't very deep and the water drains through the overflow drain very quickly. This makes it so that the water stays in and you won't have to choose what part of your body to keep under the warm water. It's easy to use and install; it just takes a few seconds to make sure all of the suction cups are in place." —Karen B

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors).

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it, and I'm glad I did. I thought my fur baby would have had a hard time getting the hang of drinking, but he caught on pretty fast. Worth the buy." —Leah L.

Get it from Amazon for $16.19+ (available in four colors).

There's a red, cone-shaped grip for smaller bottles (think twist-top wine bottles and 16-ounce sodas) and blue and green flat grips for larger jars and lids. Since the durable grips come in three different sizes, shapes, and colors, mark my words that every jar will meet its match.

Promising review: "I get it — they are rubber jar grips and you might be thinking it is no big deal....BUT you are wrong...These are awesome! I am in my late fifties and have very weak hands due to a car accident years ago combined with arthritis and a trigger finger. I keep one in my car and one in my bathroom for opening makeup and jars of face cream. I was tired of asking my husband and son for help every time I needed to open a jar. Now with the help of these I can do it myself about 98% of the time. I highly recommend these." —DD

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $7.52.

Promising review: "Love these adjustable stackers! I need to buy more for my small lead crystal tumblers. They adjust to hold large mugs and compress to the size of a jelly jar!" —Christina Befumo

Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I go to the beach weekly in the summer, and this is a must-have. Comfortable, easy to clean, and helps keep the car clean." —greg

Promising review: "Really great bug zapper and keeps my patio free of any mosquitoes. This is a must-have for the summer time in Florida." —Annie

Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

Promising review: "I can't believe I've waited this long to buy one of these. My eyesight is failing, including my depth perception, so wearing bracelets has been difficult unless they are slip on. This jewelry helper is easy to use. Now I can wear bracelets again." —Cat Mom

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors and a pack of two).

Tidy-Cup is a woman-owned small biz founded by Julie Reinhold because she was tired of detergent containers dripping on her laundry room floor.

Promising review: "I don't know how I've lived without this Tidy-Cup. It's magical! There is nothing worse than drippy laundry detergent spouts. The Tidy-Cup popped onto my laundry detergent bottle very easily and catches all the laundry detergent drips in the cup. It is truly the best invention ever!" —Shayla D.

Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.

Plus, it'll help muffle outside noises — something particularly helpful if you live in an apartment building or with noisy roommates.

Promising review: "I’ll admit I was skeptical of these at first but after applying them to four of our doors we are thrilled! We live in an older home that is in no way energy efficient ;-) we got these to help keep the hot summer heat out of the house. We have only had them for a short time but they look so good! They actually upgrade the doors a bit ;-) the application went well and it is a firm hold. The flooring in our house meets the door almost so there’s not much room for movement and these stay put firmly when opening and closing the door. I have no doubt that they will stay on for a long time. Will probably buy another pack for the doors leading to our garage." —AHA

Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.95+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I find these extremely helpful for day to day activity (my glasses will still slide down during strenuous activity like working out). I twist them so that the silicone touches my temple not my ear and that helps because my glasses are a little too wide. Super easy to slide on and off — they even fit on my bulky sunglasses with a little effort. Really happy with this purchase."—Madeline Audrey
