Small upgrades but huuuuuuge payoffs from the jump.

Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can’t complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also it’s an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." —M. Zolnosky

Penguin Planner is a small business that specializes in organization products. 

Promising review: "I’m the worst at cleaning consistently but this has helped and motivated me a lot! Some tasks I do every day (like wipe kitchen counters and pick up trash around the house) others I do once a week. Even if I don’t do the weekly tasks every week I still get a lot more done then I have before. Highly recommend you try if you’re trying to be better at keeping a tidy home." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of light. I love them. I would highly recommend. I’ll probably never sleep without them again." —AJ

Fermentaholics is a small business that specializes in pickling and kombucha starter kits. 

Promising review: "This kit is great for first timers or experienced, and makes DELICIOUS pickles, or pickled anything for that matter. Pickles, carrots, onions, asparagus. The instructions are easy to follow and understand. Will be buying as gifts for my pickle loving friends and more for myself. Makes me want to try the other products this company offers." —KelF

Promising review: "This sensory toy is calming. I just sit in my recliner and run my finger along the bumpy silicone texture that encloses the plastic bubbler. It’s removable also, exposing a surprisingly thin bubbler, which I get joy out of flipping over and over in my hand. I have high anxiety and this toy actually makes me focus and relax. I like the colored liquid inside, it draws my attention, allowing me to calm and focus on something else. This is a good tool to help me ground and recenter myself. I highly recommend." —Tanya Elizabeth 

Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in six colors).

Teeccino is a small business that specializes in coffee-like herbal teas 

Fellow Buzzfeed Shopping writer, Emma Lord, has actually tried these babies and says: "I love tea in the morning but I always want something that tastes strong and bitter to go with my dessert at night, but decaf coffee felt too risky, since there's still a bit of caffeine in it. Enter Teeccino, which tastes miles better than decaf coffee, and is fully caffeine-free. It's so rich that it feels like it has notes of chocolate in it, and so satisfying that I had to check the label a zillion times just to make sure I hadn't misread it, and it secretly was coffee. Nope — just a very delicious faux coffee beverage that pairs well with every dessert in my pantry." 

Get a 25-count of single-serve bags from Amazon for $14.17 (available in six flavors and a variety pack as well as in counts of 10, 12, 25, and 50). 

Check out the Teeccino Amazon storefront for a TON of other herbal caffeine-free flavors and varieties! 

Promising review: "A perfect catch-all! Purchased this for my son to put on his dashboard to catch things when he gets into his car — he tosses his wallet and and his phone up there. The product doesn’t leave a sticky residue on anything, and it’s been in a hot car, and I have seen no significant wear down. Very durable, very stable. Excellent value. I’m so happy with the performance and fit of this." —Sarah

It's perfect for new parents, remote workers, or anyone who's not playing around about protecting their peace.

Nap Guardian is a small business that specializes in doorbell covers for home use. 

Promising review: "This is well-made and very easy to apply. I have it on my Ring doorbell camera, and it keeps delivery people from ringing my doorbell very well. It also does not obstruct my view or notifications for my Ring doorbell camera. Great for when taking a nap!" —Amazon Customer

Each set comes with two sizes, a 1.5 tablespoon and a 1/3 cup.

Hydra Cup is a small business specializing in shakers and water bottle accessories. 

Promising review: "I've purchased many accessories for my Stanley. This is my new favorite. Two things I have on me at all times are my water bottle and my phone, so I use them many times a day!

FYI — these are NOT noise-canceling; however, many reviewers report great sound quality.

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer, Emma Lord, says: "I own a pair of these and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."

Promising review: "They’re comfortable, hold a charge really well, and actually work really well in terms of noise cancellation. My daughter can be sitting next to me talking and I can barely even hear her. I almost prefer these in terms of sound quality to my Gen 1 AirPods as well. Easy to charge, easy to pair, very lightweight, and fit is adjustable. I’m very impressed with these headphones!" —Samantha H. 

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four colors).

Get it from Amazon for $26.03+ (available in 22 colors). 

Promising review: "Finally replaced my emotional support water bottle!!!! I love the colors, the handle is easy to hold, and my drinks stay cold!!! It’s been hard finding an ergonomic water bottle, the small handles or lack there of can be really hard on my hands. I’m so happy with it I almost don’t want to sticker it. (Almost.) 💛" —Sarina 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 10 styles). 

Promising review: "This is my new favorite water bottle. It looks nice, holds 10 to 12 ounces, seals well (no leaks), and is sized such that I can slip it into my back pants pocket (most of the time, if they are somewhat roomy) or in a large coat or vest pocket. I take regular one to two mile hikes, and was sick of carrying around water bottles holding twice as much water as I drink. This works perfectly, no excess weight and easy to pocket. I will also use backpacking for an easy access water bottle." —CRIU

Pinion Pins is a small business specializing in home improvement products. 

Promising review: "I was super worried about if I would have enough of the Pinions, and I totally do! My duvet is kinda thick, and the Pinions pierced through with no problems!

I also like how unnoticeable they are." —Abigayle Mishler

Check out a TikTok of the food cubby in action. 

Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. 

Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart, but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee

Promising review: "Absolute game-changer in the sock department! These socks are incredibly soft, thanks to their bamboo fabric, which feels luxurious against the skin. The mini crew length is perfect for wearing with sneakers or low-cut shoes, providing just the right amount of coverage without being too bulky. I love how breathable and moisture-wicking they are, keeping my feet cool and dry throughout the day. Plus, the reinforced heel and toe add durability, ensuring these socks hold up wash after wash." —Len

Check out a TikTok of the Laundry Turtle in action.

Promising review: "I saw this product on a 'Best of Amazon' YouTube video. I instantly saw the value of being able to switch laundry from the washing machine to the dryer in one easy motion, so I ordered it. It makes switching laundry so easy! It's also a great replacement for laundry baskets. I recently stayed with an ill family member, knowing that I'd be doing laundry at her house. I hauled along my Laundry Turtle, which folded up into a small bundle, and used it at her house. No matter the size of the load, one revolution of the washing machine put all of the damp clothes in the Turtle and made transferring laundry so easy! I agree that it is one of Amazon's best household items." —Jeril
