Check out a TikTok of the portable charger in action.

Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).

Get it from Amazon for $32.98+ (available in four colors).

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge).

Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold

Get it from Amazon $23.99+ (available in five colors).

Check out a TikTok of the foldable 3-in-1 charger in action.

Promising review: "I use this product to charge my IPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers doesn't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —SBREDDY

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in nine colors).

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed!

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Get it from Amazon for $22.79+ (available in white and black).

Check out a TikTok of the outlet timer in action.

Promising review: "I was looking for a better countdown timer to turn off corded entertainment devices after I fall asleep. The one I've been using has small buttons and a LCD display. Although any countdown time can be set on it, the display is hard to see in low lighting. This BN-LINK has larger buttons and knowing their order allows me to select a preset time in the dark. Yes, not infinitely flexible, but 15 and 30 minutes, plus 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours is close enough for my needs." —Picky Consumer 01

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

Promising reviews: "Saw it on TikTok: worth the hype. Bought this for my boyfriend. Plan to buy one for my coworker, and I need one too! Great gift for teachers on your nice list this Christmas." —Gabriela Eldredge

"I drink coffee pretty much all day. It was a hassle to go back and forth to the kitchen at work to warm my coffee. I saw this product and thought I’d try it and I absolutely LOVE it. It has a weight sensor so it turns on when you place your cup on the top plate and turns off when cup is lifted. I use it at work daily. I also think you could place a candle in a glass container on the warmer and it would work as well. My coffee is never too hot. It’s perfect. The only CON is that I wish it had a longer cord so I could move to a diff spot on my desk." —Kim bur lee

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five styles).

Check out a TikTok of the emergency power kit in action.

Promising review: "I would 1000% recommend this for anyone and everyone. My dad bought me one for Christmas and it has got me out of bad situations a couple of times. I have since bought one for everyone in the family and have recommended to the rest of the extended family. It comes in handy and can help avoid being in an unsafe situation where you are stranded and someone taking advantage of the situation. Not only does it charge your car battery but you can use it to emergency charge your phone or to plug in something during a trip. This one airs up tires. Just perfect." —SA Sunshine

Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in five styles).

Check out a TikTok of the seatbelt cutter and window breaker in action. Note: Reviewers warn *not* to test it out on the window for fun, because it does its job well and it absolutely will break without much force required!

Promising review: "This is a great window breaker/seatbelt cutter combo. I love that they give you a small piece of safety glass to test the window breaker on. That gives me peace of mind that if I ever need to use it, it will do its job. I highly recommend buying these for everyone in your life." —Haley

Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Better than any strip! Saw this on TikTok and it’s everything. Love the auto night-light feature. So versatile and compact. Worth every penny. Will be ordering more." —Kelly

Get it from Amazon for $14.73+ (available in two sizes).

Check out a TikTok of the shower phone holder in action.

Promising review: "This waterproof phone case makes listening to music and watching Netflix in the shower so easy!! It’s super easy to put your phone in, fog proof, and easily rotatable. The only thing is sometimes touching the screen through the plastic can be a little difficult, but worked most of the time! It comes with three different backs so you can move it around to many different spots in the house. I got the white so it would match my shower." —Brittney Steele

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

Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in 11 colors).

StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.

Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action.

Promising review: "There was no setup...Take it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised allowing air flow underneath preventing the shelf from heating up. Sizing was perfect. I love it!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in three finishes).

Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three colors).

Check out a TikTok of the laptop power bank in action.

Promising review: "Bought for travel. On one day where I needed to use the phone more, I realized that my phone was low on power but was able to connect it to the power bank. It charged very quickly and I was able to keep going without disruption. Quite a relief! It, of course, has just a bit of a heft to it, as expected with a battery like this, but nothing too bad. It’s compact enough to be easily portable (I tucked it into a pocket of my tote)." —MAB

Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (clip the $20 off coupon on the product page for this price).

Check out a TikTok of the deodorizer in action.

Promising review: "I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I’ve had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn’t smelled once since I’ve started using." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two styles).

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

*Another* promising review: "This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" —dj3biggs

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors and a three-pack).

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 $29.99 (available in eight styles).

Check out a TikTok of the clock in action.

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS! It exceeded all of my expectations. I’m recovering from major surgery so spending a lot of time in bed. I ordered this and use it as a reading light, nightlight, and a light in the middle of the night for taking pain pills. It’s so nice to not have to fiddle with a light switch and just tap this quickly on and off. I love the wireless charger for my phone too. It’s so easy to set my phone there and grab it versus fumbling with a charging cord that I can’t easily pick up while recovering from surgery. This has truly exceeded all of my expectations and I’ve been raving to my friends and family about it. I love it! It’s perfect for my needs." —Tara

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two colors).

Check out a TikTok of the self-stirring mug in action.

Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing." —Lina

Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "So I saw this product recommended by a TikTok user, so of course I bought it! This car vacuum works wonderfully. The cord is super long — I drive an '08 Prius and I still had cord left after I swept in the trunk! The vacuum has a bristle suction piece, a long narrow one, and a hose like a regular sweeper would have. It comes with one filter inside the vacuum and an additional one with a small brush to help clean it. It also came with the bag which everything fits in and a nice car air freshener! I love this product, it works very well." —Ken

Get it from Amazon for $32.82+ (available in four colors).

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

Check out a TikTok of the Bagnet in action.

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 $26.99+ (available in 36 styles).

Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer

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

Check out a TikTok of the retro Bluetooth speaker in action.

Promising review: "Sound quality and durability is very good! I like the ability to change the artwork on the cover, the ability to change the brightness of the image, the ability to change the volume of the startup/connect/disconnect, the auto-shutoff and auto-sleep mode toggles, and the ability to set multiple alarms (available on the app only, sadly, not out of the box). There's surprisingly a lot you can do with such a seemingly simple device, and it's made more than a great replacement alarm clock for me, which is initially what I bought it for. Highly recommend if you've got the extra coin to spend on something cute, fun, and practical!" —Soul Breaker

Get it from Amazon for $99.90 (available in five colors).

Note: You should only ever look at the camera when the car isn't in motion!

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and knew I wanted to try it. I LOOOOOVE this product! I hate trying to use my rear view mirror to look into her mirror to make sure she’s okay. The quality of the video is great for the price, and I can easily see if my infant has spit up or I can see her mouth to shove a paci in if needed. I can see details like if her eyes are open or closed. The night vision isn’t too bad but not as detailed but you can see enough. But overall for the price, I would buy this product again hands-down." —Michael Giblin

Get it from Amazon for $23.99.

The lights have an auto-shutoff feature you can adjust between 30 seconds and six minutes, and also easily install under stairs, cabinets, and mirrors.

Check out a TikTok of the bed lights in action.

Promising review: "My husband wanted a nightlight in the room but I didn’t. I attached these under his side of the bed and put the sensor at the foot of our bed. The sensor 'sees' us coming in from the hall, from the bathroom, or him from out of the bed. We keep them at 10% and that’s enough light for him, but doesn’t wake me up. They are perfect!" —Lisa Hummel

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

Check out a TikTok of the egg bite maker in action.

Psst — a lot of folks also use these for pancake and protein pancake bites!

Promising review: "I bought this in hopes to make egg bites similar to Starbucks and I have not been disappointed. I chose this one after reading reviews on the smaller four-bite size. I have used it multiple times and have had excellent results each time. I followed the recipe in the booklet and used a tip from another reviewer that suggested to triple the cottage cheese amount. It’s very easy to use and clean." —April124

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors).

Check out a TikTok of the cup washer in action. To install, you can use the instructions and materials provided to easily hook it up to the hot water line. Note that this won't install on sinks without a flat edge!

Promising review: "Never knew I needed one until I saw it on TikTok, and with water bottles and toddler cups it is essential to my household!" —Gayla Brink

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in two colors and materials).

Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads.

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 set of four).

Worky is a small business that specializes in products to improve remote working experiences.

Check out a TikTok of the Worky station in action.

Promising review: "I've had my Worky for three months now and have loved it. I love that everything is in one place and then I can close it up and work disappears. The compartments are great for tucking away piles of paperwork, the multiple charging outlets are convenient and the LED lights are helpful on Zoom calls when lighting in the room are not ideal. Everything in one place, simple and convenient. Just the way I like it." —Amy

Get it from Amazon for $105.99.

Check out a TikTok of the travel mirror in action.

Promising review: "Absolute must for travel. Hotels and Airbnbs rarely have both good lighting and a good mirror to sit down and do your makeup at. With this guy though, you won't have that worry. The different lights are wonderful for different settings; the mirror is sturdy and lightweight. It does not feel cheap at all; in fact, it is the best travel mirror I have purchased. I am now using this on a daily basis, so I think it was an awesome find, not just for traveling but also for every day! It also is really slim and fits in your carry-on easily." —Alexandra

Get it from Amazon for $24.29+ (available in five colors).

Check out a TikTok of the automatic pan stirrer in action.

Promising review: "Honestly I laughed at myself for buying this. I stopped laughing the first time I used it! What a help! It freed me up to do other things while it stirred the sauce that needed constant attention. Bought another one! Not laughing now!" —Luvdvm

Get it from UncommonGoods for $25+ (available in two styles). .

This desk bike is also height adjustable so you can get your perfect fit with the tray, and has "whisper quiet" pedaling, eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, RPM, and other stats.

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and I bought it. No regrets! I’ve used this almost daily since I got it. I’m moving way more than I did before. The tabletop part is a little loose but that might be from me leaning on it too much. It wasn’t originally like that. I haven’t looked into tightening it. This is 10 out of 10 recommended for someone who's looking to move more!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $499.99.

Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works. It's been liked over 1.8 million times!

Check out a TikTok of the portable Apple Watch charger in action.

Promising review: "First off, stop reading this review and go buy it. For the price, this little device is amazing for camping or traveling. Yes there are other options to charge your watch, but those involve the cable attached to a power brick. This cuts out the cable necessity, so you can charge directly on the device — PLUS, it also works as a charger for your phone. You’ll just need to buy a separate USB-C to Lightning or Type C to Type C, if you have Android. Anyways, the build quality is great and is very lightweight. Do yourself a favor and go buy it." —Lenix.

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (get this price by clipping the $3 off coupon on the product page; available in three colors).

Promising review: "I had no idea about these until I saw them on TikTok — changed my life. I don't have to shred anymore, no more picking up tiny shreds of paper on the floor after emptying my shredder, not to mention having an ugly shredder in my home office or the expense of a shredder when they eventually fail!!" —Dave

Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, cotton swabs, or flossers." —Sariyah J

Get it from Amazon for $16.44 (available in three colors).

Canna Style is a woman-owned, New York-based small business that specializes in chic cannabis accessories and donates a portion of its proceeds to organizations like the Last Prisoner Project and The LGBT Center of New York.

Check out a TikTok of the lighter in action. Quick note — it doesn't come with lighter fluid in it (but does arrive in discreet packaging!).

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this lighter. It’s easy to refill and change how big you want the flame. But above all I love how it’s looks like a lipstick. It’s just great to see people's faces when I pull it out." —S.B.

Get it from Canna Style for $22.

Check out a TikTok of the fingerprint doorknob in action. It also comes with an emergency key to unlock it, if the code is forgotten!

Promising review: "I’ve had this lock for a couple of months now and honestly I love it. So convenient. I don’t have to worry about my room being unlocked anymore. Also just a genuinely great product." —Alyssa

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

Check out a TikTok of the pickle juice strainer in action.

Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick

Get it from Amazon for $10.36+ (also available with additional accessories).

Check out a TikTok of the locking container in action.

Kitchen Safe is a US-based small business that specializes in lockboxes to help curb distracting habits.

Promising review: "This product has saved me in many ways. I’ve been struggling with trying to focus studying for my classes. I’d always end up on my phone and barely get any work done. I have a bad habit of trying to find any distraction possible when it’s time to study or do work on my computer. Until I saw this product on a YouTube video. I had to fix this problem ASAP so I decided to try this product. It was pretty easy to set up. When I was done I locked my phone away and any other distractions for about an hour at a time. Instant game changer. Since there is no distractions I’m forced to do my work or just sit there doing nothing for an hour. I don’t like to waste time so I’m always gonna choose to do the work. This product has definitely increased my productivity by a landslide. I recommend this product if you sometimes just need a kick in the ass to get going and focus on your work." —Michael Okoro
