36 Splurgeworthy Products With Such Good Reviews You’ll Know They’re Worth Every Penny

TBH, you might not be allowed to call yourself a toast connoisseur until you’ve tried it out of this tricked-out, TikTok-famous toaster.

1. A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger you’ll honestly be mad you didn’t know about before now?? It folds out from a small square into a rectangular charging pad with a spot for your iPhone, AirPods, *and* Apple Watch to charge all at the same time. Travelers and busy humans swear by it alike, because it saves soooo much space in their bags.

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

Promising review: “I’m really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I’ve been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head, and it’s been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow, I notice it doesn’t tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So, I’m excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also, the pillow is soft and is so much more prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖” —Amazon Customer 🌷

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and in 11 styles). 

3. Plus a set of game-changing cooling “hotel” pillows that a whole bunch of reviewers say helped them get the best sleep of their lives.

Bonus: these are fully machine washable! 

Promising review: “After looking for pillows everywhere in stores and not being satisfied, I decided to trust a TikTok that I saw featuring these pillows and checked out the reviews here and saw the hype. Decided to trust this hype and order two of my own, and they are SERIOUSLY THE BEST PILLOWS EVER! Trust the reviews. Took two minutes to fluff up to use, and both my fiancé and I are having the best sleeps now.” —Ellen

4. COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a lightweight hydrating face serum to help protect your skin’s moisture barrier.

Users with sensitive skin especially appreciate how gentle it is compared to competitors, and a lot of them mentioned seeing results within the first few uses!

The bottle of serum

I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn’t help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I’m struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I’ve found that it’s what got me the best results! 

Promising review: “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

Get it from Amazon for $17.

5. *Plus* COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer, the snail essence repair cream’s partner in crime — this gel cream not only locks in moisture to plump and hydrate skin, but reviewers claim it genuinely has changed the texture to make it smoother.

To use as intended, apply the moisturizer after the snail repairing essence has dried on your face in your skincare routine.

Promising review: “I don’t think I will use anything else! When I tell you this product makes my skin so soft and so even, it’s an understatement! My skin is usually very dry, oily (acne-prone), and super sensitive, so it’s really hard for me to find something that can be hydrating but gentle at the same time. The product itself is creamy/slime consistency, and sometimes you do have to work it in a little bit to absorb. After about 5-10 min, the product fully absorbs, and you’re all set! I use it after I apply their brand of hyaluronic acid.” —May

Get it from Amazon for $16

6. A bath pillow and full body mat that laughs in the face of your ordinary teensy bath pillows. Neck support is cute, but full body ridiculous plush comfort?? Is precisely where it’s at. Hop in, friend. The wine is poured and that romance novel isn’t going to read itself.

Bath Haven is a small business specializing in bathroom and personal care products. 

Promising review: “We just installed a new tub in our master bathroom. The tub has a steeper slope than our previous one. So we were looking for a pillow that provided headrest and back support. The Bath Haven pillow indeed provides both and is very comfortable. The linen material is soft and feels great. Definitely worth the price vs cheaper plastic pillows.” —Alan Z. 

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in four styles). 

7. A pack of cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels — these ultra-soft, chemical-free disposable towels are ideal for drying your face or pairing with a makeup remover or face wash to gently remove makeup at the end of the day.

Some stuff may stick a little in the pan while cooking, but it comes right off when you wash them. They are heavier than normal pots and pans, but you can get used to it after using them every day. A great set for people who cook every day!” —CountryHolly

Promising review: “Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive lotion…then I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, ‘What are you WEARING?’ like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I’m not usually a sucker for marketing but this was so worth it.” —Kristen

Get it from Amazon for $22.

10. A deliciously soft waffle weave blanket made with bamboo, which makes it so light and breathable that every time you drape it on yourself you’ll be like, “Am I the insufferably comfortable main character in a laundry detergent commercial?”

Promising review: “We absolutely love these blankets. We entertain family and friends quite a bit and I know of four people that have bought blankets from this seller after staying with us. They are light and airy but also warm and cozy. They hold up well in the wash and keep their appearance as looking new. We will definitely purchase more.” —KMcK 

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 18 colors and four sizes).

Get it from Amazon for $30.40

12. A delightfully vibrant pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon’s Align … but WAY cheaper. If you’re looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these.

Promising review: “These are amazing quality!! I do love my pair of Lululemon leggings, but I notice that they stretch out and slide down throughout the day. These do not! They are so soft I almost feel like I am wearing nothing, but still feel very ‘athletic’ like they’re holding everything in. When I opened the package, they looked like they were going to be too short at first, but they’re not. They are quite stretchy and comfortable. Highly recommend!!” —Kate

Get them from Amazon for $34 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 16 styles). 

13. Bagallini’s Central Park Sling, a chic, utilitarian alternative to bulky backpacks or flimsy fanny packs. This cute lil’ chaos organizer comes complete with quick-access pockets for your phone, keys, accessories, and snacks, making it ideal for your ~Hot Girl Walks~.

Get it from Amazon for $14.40 (available in four flavors, including Peach, Berry, Grapefruit, and Gummy Bear).

A pressure relief seat cushion that is basically a longterm investment in your entire human body, particularly if you’re someone who gets uncomfy sitting for long hours at a desk or behind the wheel.

Promising review: “Changed my life. I work from home and sit at my desk nine hours during the week and four on Saturdays. I had so much pain in my tail bone sometimes I could hardly stand after sitting all day. Since receiving cushion (which arrived on time and is as described), I have had about 90% pain relief. I was hesitant to order because of the price, but it is worth every penny. I take it on flights and road trips and am considering buying another one to leave in my vehicle.” —Poboie

Get it from Amazon for $72.99 (available in three colors). 

17. A (machine washable!!) vintage-inspired area rug to elevate any space in your home, with the added benefit of protecting your floors and muffling noises.

Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell’s Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $24.20

Promising review: “I wish I had taken photos since I was amazed at the results, honestly. I bought my car about a year ago and it had stains all over the seats — I didn’t want to pay $300+ for them to be cleaned since I’m a college student so I just waited. My sister saw a TikTok video or something about this machine and while I was doubtful that it would work since some of these stains have been there for who knows how long I finally bought it cause I spilt a blue slushee over my car seats. Lo and behold I now have a car with no stains whatsoever! I wish I had gotten it sooner!! I wish I would’ve taken before and after pics but I’ll try and upload some of how it looks now at some point! But 15/10 recommend!!” —jovana montoya

Stealth Fitness is a small business that specializes in unique at-home fitness equipment. 

Here’s what BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower says about this gizmo: “Getting a Stealth board was the very best thing that has happened to me during quarantine. Mixing the fun of games on your phone with the natural endorphins you get from exercising is, to put it lightly, genius. I have two in my home, and my husband and I compete daily to see who can last the longest. My favorite game is the paragliding challenge; he’s into the planet-blasting space adventure. Nerd.”

Promising review: “Fantastic purchase to solve the boring plank exercises after a year of doing them. This has a quick, easy, simple hit-it-and-forget-it daily with a game, three minute max, and great results. Much improved core strength, reduce lower back pain, and a high five from my doctor. Highly recommend this for those in need of core build up and help managing the time to fit this into a daily schedule.” —James Corey

Get it from Amazon for $149.

21. A quick-heating Fellow electric kettle as handy as it is beautiful — its chic gooseneck is designed for an optimum flow rate for pourovers, its temperature settings will let you get *highly* specific about how warm you want the water too be, and you can toggle the base to keep the water at the precise temp you want for up to an hour.

Fellow

Promising review: “We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and having to heat it up again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee.” —Emily A.

Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in 13 colors and styles) or from Amazon for $165+ (available in seven styles). 

22. A Waterpik water flosser basically tailor-made for anyone with sensitive teeth or gums — this deep cleans super effectively and gently, and is actually *more* effective than ordinary floss at improving gum health. People with braces and permanent retainers also swear by this to get to hard-to-reach spots.

Promising review: “Extremely quiet and well worth the money. I’ve been having problems with my gums bleeding, and my teeth are too crowded and tight to comfortably floss, so I decided to go with a water jet plaque cleaning system. I decided on this one because it looks sleek (I got it in black), had good reviews and had all the accessories… so I took a shot. I use warm water and mouthwash in the hopper and after only a few days my gums are not bleeding anymore. My mouth feels similar to how it does after I leave the dental hygienist after every use … love it. If you get this one, I recommend using the toothbrush attachment because it massages the gums as it passes and controls the water splatter so is therefore less messy.” —CAM

Get it from Amazon for $68.50 (available in four colors).

23. A stainless steel Memobottle, which is poised to take the travel world by storm — these insulated, leakproof bottles come in four very specific sizes with a flat-shaped design to be packed as easily and efficiently as possible, based on your needs.

Promising review: “I believe this has been my best purchase of 2023. This water bottle is well designed, holds water well and brings unnecessary attention but it’s welcomed 😈. It creates a different drinking experience and it’s unique yet awkward design fits in all bags. Even fits in my Vespa perfectly. I want to say the price is a little steep in my opinion, but after weeks of use, I get it.” —Aaron V. 

Get it from Amazon for $55+ (available in two colors and four sizes). 

24. A splurge-worthy bottle of EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen reviewers attest is worth every damn penny — this sensitive skin-friendly formula is lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn’t leave a white cast. And because it is determined to be the Ultimate Sunscreen Of All Time, it’s also made to help protect and calm rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and acne-prone skin 🙌.

Promising review: “Because I have hated just about every facial sunscreen (especially you, Supergoop, lol) I’ve ever tried, the price for this product is honestly worth it. Doesn’t feel greasy, oily, or silicone-y. Doesn’t leave a white cast. Doesn’t have a strong odor. It really just feels like I’m putting another layer of moisturizer on. If I go out with only this SPF with no makeup, my skin looks nice, dewy, and moisturized, but never oily or greasy. Most importantly, this keeps my rosacea in check!” —Christina Chetwood

Get it from Amazon for $40.85

25. A user-friendly Click & Grow Indoor Herb Garden Kit, which is basically a ~smart garden~ you can grow right in your kitchen window, thanks to the handy LED grow lights that keep your plants thriving no matter how gloomy outside gets.

Promising review: “The Click & Grow Smart Garden is very easy to set up and has fairly minimal upkeep. Place pods in, fill up with water, and turn on the light. The lettuce has grown exceptionally well. My grandkids love to check it out when they come to visit. I am considering gifting Click and Grow Smart Gardens to them. It is straightforward and sets you up to be a successful gardener, no matter your experience level. I wanted to grow some herbs and vegetables in the winter. I love the Click & Grow!” —Kbaumg

Promising review: “I saw this in 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

Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works. It’s been liked over 2.5 million times!

27. Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque, which is the ultimate “treat yourself” product because it’s just as fun to put on as it is to show off. The lip mask glides on in a pop of holographic blue you can peel off to reveal a long-lasting, transfer-resistant lip stain you can rock the entire day without losing vibrancy. (Reviewers say it passes the eating and drinking tests with flying colors!)

Promising reviews: “I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute, and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour staying power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades.” —Brandy

Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 11 shades).

Promising review: “Finally made the purchase (TikTok did it…brilliant marketing!) as a gift to my wife. The packaging was great. Was delivered one day early and very quickly. We are really enjoying the machine and sharing it with friends. Overall, it feels a bit pricey, but well worth it considering the fun, variety, and novelty. The drinks are good!” —Pepstero

A gorgeously designed Hatch Restore sound machine — it works overtime as a touch-controlled smart light, bedtime reading light, sunrise alarm clock, and even a wind down light that helps you get into a healthier sleep routine at night, which is especially important to maintain when it’s dark out for so long. Other bedside lamps could truly never.

Hatch Restore lets you personalize a “bedtime routine” for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night’s rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app.

Promising review: “This was the best thing I have ever found to help with my insomnia. I used to take hours to fall asleep and wake up multiple times a night. Now, I rarely wake up in the night and fall asleep either during the guided meditation or just as the white noise begins. I love waking up gently and not to a blaring phone alarm, and I’ve been able to stop doomscrolling at night since I can keep my phone out of reach. Highly recommend!” —darcybear

34. The “Ono Roller,” a compact fidget toy specifically designed for adults that helps to encourage focus and relieve stress and anxiety with its frictionless, noiseless rolling. It’s a bit more expensive than competitors, but reviewers love the satisfaction of the rolling feeling and attest to how ridiculously durable it is against even the most frequent of fidgeting.

Promising review: “I have had ADHD since I was a small child, and this is the only thing I’ve ever found that helps me focus. It’s quiet, durable, and keeps my mind occupied so I can focus (ADHD people will understand what I mean by that). A bit pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion!” —Amazon Customer

35. A stuffed waffle maker to introduce you to the infinite glory of stuffing food into a pillowy warm carb — I’m talking jam, cheesy eggs, meats, NUTELLA (!!), pie filling, peanut butter, the whole nine yards. I’m truly shaking thinking about amassing this kind of breakfast power.

Promising review: “I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!” —Adirondackdarling

36. The TikTok-famous, investment-worthy Balmuda toaster for anyone who doesn’t just view toast as a meal but a lifestyle. This sleek gizmo uses steam technology to perfectly crisp the outside of the toast while keeping the inside moist and fluffy, creating a perfect canvas for butter undeserving of our mortal mouths.

Promising review: “Holy moly! Best toast I have ever made. I did a comparison taste test with the Balmuda toaster versus my cheapie $60 toaster oven. You can really taste the difference in the toast with the texture and the moisture of the inside of the toast. Hands down, Balmuda blew my other toaster out the water. So happy with purchase.” —JL
