Promising review: "I would order again, 10 out of 10. Try it on yogurt, ice cream, toast, carrots, and amazingly I saw a TikTok challenge with it on hard boiled eggs. It is stupendous!!!" —ThatGuy

Get it from Amazon for $3.64.

Promising review: "These are very cute, and I love the magnet holder to stick on my fridge so they are easily accessible. Not sure about the durability, haven't used very long." —Save the Bees

Space Age Snacks is a small business that specializes in small batch freeze-dried candy.

Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Skittles normally taste alright, but having them freeze-dried really made the flavors POP, and genuinely, I feel like they had more flavor than normal Skittles. (Then again, that might just be my head playing it up knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.) Very delicious." —John Blake

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes; check out the rest of their freeze-dried candy for more options).

Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.

Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three styles and eight patterns).

Promising review: "These are my favorite markers to use for anchor charts in my first grade classroom. The tips are great for writing nice, big letters. The smells are fantastic, although this pack had a few interesting scents, like nacho cheese. I will only use this brand." —KPorto28

Get a set of 22 from Amazon for $14.19.

Promising review: "I saw similar bowls over a year ago, but they were closer to $40 from a specialty online retailer. So excited to see them pop up on Amazon for an affordable price. They work exactly as stated (super cute with soy sauce in them) and are very durable." —Brittany Sharpe

Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in a cat, bird, panda, or nature set).

As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force.

Get it from Amazon for $9.97.

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

Back To The Roots is a California-based small business founded by two college friends that specializes in indoor gardening kits with a mission to reconnect families to food.

Check out a TikTok of the mushroom kit in action.

Promising review: "This product has been so much fun to watch! I followed the directions, exactly as written, and the mushrooms began growing within 3–4 days. I will say that I did soak them for close to 10 hours before putting them back in the box to grow and I believe this helped a ton. I also kept the box inside by a window with the blinds closed in order for them to get indirect sunlight. The mushrooms grew tremendously for almost a week before they started to shrink so I clipped them to cook with and they were DELICIOUS! This was such a fun product and process to watch." —Steph A

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

Promising review: "These are the cutest ever! My daughter ate these guys [a lot] growing up. Great reminder gift of her fave snack food!" —Teresa A Houtz

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

Promising review: "Easy eggs and pancakes. This is a family favorite!! We love cooking with this. It makes breakfast quick and cleanup easy." —AmazonCustomer

Promising review: "Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts as I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off. I imagine these would also be great for pretend food for kids' playsets or for a kid's trinket box. Overall, I love them, love their feel, love the colors, and am very happy." —Mary

Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.99.

Promising review: "This thing is incredible. I just mix up a batch of waffle batter and keep it in the fridge and in the morning, I plug this in while pouring my coffee. It reaches temp in about a minute, and then I'll pour in the batter and about the waffle is done about another minute later." —Rick

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in 17 styles).

Check out a TikTok of the skull pan in action.

Promising review: "This is a great pan. It's made out of cast aluminum and is surprisingly heavy but very easy to use. Our muffins turned out great and popped right out, and the pan is very easy to clean. It's oven-safe up to 400 degrees. You do have to be careful not to scratch the nonstick surface." —LaffingKat

Get it from Amazon for $29.

Promising review: "I bought this pickle wine stopper for my nephew and his partner. It keeps air out of the bottle with a snug fit and it cleans up easily after use. The fact that they love 'pickle' anything is an added bonus!" —Cynthia

Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

Promising review: "This is a great spoon rest, but an even greater conversation piece for anyone who walks by the stove. 'Is that a giant ravioli on your stove?' 'OMG, no, it's just my adorable spoon rest!' Jealousy ensues. You get the idea. Also, it keeps the stove clean(er), and everything washes off of the spoon rest quite easily." —Melissa McMahon

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

Nuts 'N More is a small business that specializes in unique peanut and almond spreads.

Promising review: "Amazing flavor, one of the best flavored peanut butters I have tried. I eat it by the spoonful without bread because it is that good, and I love that it has little topping pieces as well." —Tina Ray

Get it from Amazon for $14.46 (available in 10 other flavors).

Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories.

Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "The quality is amazing. Bright white, ceramic! I loved them so much I ordered another set! Obsessed with them!" —christina lowie

Get a set of two from Amazon for $23.98 (available in three sizes).

Check out a TikTok of the Stanley snack cup in action.

Promising review: "Was I influenced by TikTok? Yes… but was it worth it? Also, yes! It fits so well on my Stanley and is secure over the handle. It fits quite a bit and has been perfect for me as I work from home. It doesn’t make drinking difficult and has been great at helping me snack throughout the day. I also put fruits, veggies, and nuts in too!" —emily

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it and could I live without? Yes. But now I don’t have to slice my bananas every day. This does wonders for my OCD too!" —Paige

Get it from Amazon for $7.02.

Promising review: "This thermometer not only works perfectly, but is a great conversation starter at gatherings! I've used it a few times now and am completely satisfied with the purchase. It is accurate, and the display is super easy to read. If you buy this, make sure to read the back of the box ;)." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $21.95.

Promising review: "THE HYPE IS REAL. Yes, these are from TikTok. So so so good. I’m somewhat of a fruit snack connoisseur, and I can tell you these are my favorites. They taste like real mangoes and don’t have that super artificial fruit taste lingering in the back. Peeling them is also pretty fun, but they’re just as good eating them whole." —D. Ferguson

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in other fruit varieties and sizes).

Ban.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery.

This vase is so quirky and ADORABLE — every time I see it in my living room, it makes my heart happy. I am on a mission to make my living room space as un-boring as possible, and this may be a small piece, but it's got a BIG personality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun piece of decor!

Get it from Amazon for $28.95.

Promising review: "I bought this delicious bread morsel to cheer up a friend. It was perfect, she really 'kneaded' it. She uses it for cuddling and sleeping. This yummy bread-cake doesn’t feel 'crumby' at all, it’s soft. It was the yeast I could do. If your friend loves bread, and she’s going through a tough time you 'butter' get this for them." —Nora Lee Majors

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three sizes).

Soho Kitchen is a small NYC-based business established in 2015 that specializes in quirky pizza products.

It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this a holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like this reviewer did!

Promising review: "This is my best buy of the month, and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. I haven't had to sharpen them yet and I've been using them pretty steadily for about a month. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer." —GWP

Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $19.23.

Promising review: "These are so cute! I hosted a wine tasting at my house and the coasters fit into many different wine glasses. I had about three to four fairly decent size chocolates on top. These were a hit and everyone thought they were in a nice restaurant with the setup!!" —Melanie M.

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $18.99.

Medley Hills Farm is an Ohio-based, family-owned small business that specializes in unique candies, snacks, and baking supplies.

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

Promising review: "I absolutely love them. Not only are the cute, but they're durable, dishwasher safe AND they really do hold a taco, soft and hardshell!" —Thrash

Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.62.

Promising review: "Most adorable spoon holder ever! I have a griddle in the middle of my stove, needed a holder that wasn't my counter. This is super cute, easy to clean, and unique!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.94+ (available in two colors and in a two-pack).

Promising review: "Perfect size and color — so cute! My cupcakes did not stick. I did NOT spray the cups with anything. They were the perfect size. Fluffy. Nonstick. Lightweight. I received several compliments. The cupcakes popped right out of the cups. This brand was perfect! I’m truly impressed." —Denise Mendez

Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99 (available in white and pink, plus sets of 12 and 24).

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

Talisman Designs is a small business that specializes in quirky, functional home products.

Promising review: "Hands down, one of the coolest and cutest kitchen gadgets I own. I bought this pitter because my father is a HUGE bing cherry fan. When cherry season is in, you can guarantee he'll be sitting in his recliner with a bowl full of cherries. He normally eats cherries and pits them in his mouth, but in his older age, I worried about him cracking a tooth or choking on the pit. So I bought this pitter and it was an INSTANT hit! He loved how cute it was and the pitter does an amazing job. Easy to use, not a ton of force needed, and then the pits are in one place and easy to throw away!" —cocade27

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

Promising review: "I love these, they're so cute. I made pasta salad and used these to serve it. My son got a huge kick out of them. They're quite sturdy, easy to wash and a fun addition to our kitchen. I could give these as a gift to my friends and they would love them." —J Band

Get it from Amazon for $16.95.

Promising review: "It smells amazing, and tastes like a sweet pumpkin pie. Heavenly and intoxicating. Definitely a keeper for me." —Ani

Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.28.
