Go ahead and munch on that Flamin' Hot Cheeto!

1. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you can program so the coffee machine cuts on each morning before you can zombie-walk to the kitchen. It also works with Alexa and Google Home! You tried weaning yourself off coffee in January 2024, and it did NOT go well.

Reviewers appreciate this feature as it eliminates the need to "smart enable" other areas of your home. It's also a fantastic solution for starting your kettle or coffee maker from a distance, ensuring it's all set for you when you wake up!

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

2. And some s'mores-flavored coffee to help you look even more forward to your morning (and maybe early-afternoon, and then also evening) cup of coffee.

3. A pillow-shaking alarm clockthat uses a "shaker" mode to vibrate under your pillow and wake you up — because you're not sticking to a bedtime in 2025 but have to do things like work for a living in the morn. This gadget also has a "sonic bomb" alarm in case the pillow shaking just won't cut it.

Sonic Alert is a small business that specializes in alarm clocks.

Promising review: "This alarm is amazing. The pillow shaker does its job to perfection. The shaker shakes the pillow just right so you don’t wake up startled. The loud alarm is loud enough. I wear a hearing aid to hear everything, and the loud alarm is loud enough that I can hear it without my hearing aid. Must have for someone with hearing issues so you wake up on time every time." —Scott D.

Get it from Amazon.com for $41.99 (available in six colors).

4. A tiny undetectable laptop mouse jiggler you simply put in your USB port that'll make it look like you're active on Teams, Slack, and any other work software that monitors how often you're using your mouse. If your employer isn't going to give you the raise you deserve, you might as well go to that mid-day pilates class but make it look like you're plugging away at yet another spreadsheet or deck.

Monitor displaying three movement modes for user interface: M1 Small range, M2 Wide range, M3 Miniature movement

Promising review: "Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings, and I use it on the minimal movement, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" —Isaiah

Get it from Amazon.com for $7.25.

5. An organizing couch pillow with a STURDY spot for everything you require as you catch up on your stories. Go ahead and take in that screen time and catch up on this season of Traitors already so we can discuss.

Promising review: "Amazing product! I've always struggled to find something that I can put my drinks on on the couch that won't spill, and this is perfect! I wish they didn't cost so much, or I'd buy several more, but it is worth the price!" —Thor Odenson

Get it from Amazon.com for $34.99.

6. A set of blackout curtains can keep your bedroom (or any other room!) as dark as you want. Plus, they'll help maintain your ideal indoor temp! So you can hit the snooze button a few more times because you and I both know you weren't going to get up for an outdoor run in 20-degree weather before work anyway. Facts is facts.

Promising review: "I finally invested in blackout curtains for my room and my kids' room, and now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner! These curtains do exactly what they are supposed to do. My kids are early risers, usually getting up when the sun comes up. Today, I was able to sleep until 9:30 because they were still in bed! I woke up not even knowing what time it was because my room was still so dark, haha! These especially made a huge difference in my room which faces the side of the house the sun rises on. These curtains are silky feeling, which I wasn’t expecting, but it gives a sleek appearance. I highly highly recommend this brand." —Jessica Duvall

Get it from Amazon.com for $19.95+ (available in 30 sizes and 31 colors).

7. A 40-pack of Flamin' Hot snacks so you won't even have to run out to the store to satisfy a late-night craving. Soooo actually, this is a pretty smart buy!

8. A genius amber reading light that'll be much nicer for bedtime reading (it's 99.94% free of blue spectrum light) either you or your partner could use. Go head and start a thriller at 9:35 p.m. again. Bedtimes are for chumps! Getting lost in a book without disturbing your bed partner is the BEST.

Get it from Amazon.com for $12.99.

9. A sleek one-button electric wine bottle opener because a little snafu shouldn't stand between you and popping out the cork of a bottle of wine. This beaut is rechargeable and handles all the hard work for you.

Promising review: "I have had this wine bottle opener for over two years and I'm so happy with this purchase. I love the aesthetic and that I can leave it on the counter. When you receive the product, you just have to plug it in to charge, and then it’s ready to use. It’s convenient to have the foil cutter. It’s also still sharp after two years. In just a few seconds, the bottle is opened, and I’m ready to enjoy a glass of wine!" —Rebecca Anne

Get it from Amazon.com for $29.99 (available in six styles).

10. Plus, a bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that addresses the stuff that tends to give you hangovers. You aren't doing Dry January this year, but you don't want a hangover either!

BuzzFeed editor putting drops into glass of red wine

Emma Lord is a writer for BuzzFeed.

I've tried these before on some weekend friend getaways where we drank a LOT of wine and I think they really work! Just don't get overeager squeezing the bottle because then you can put way too much in your glass and make your wine taste weird. Yep, I did that and learned my lesson. Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be g2g!

Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine, it was so bad I just stopped drinking wine altogether, then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache-free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" —shelleymab

Get it from Amazon.com for $14.99.

11. And a wine/can holder so you can enjoy a little bevvy in the bathtub without any spillage. Go ahead and sip on a shower beer while that hair mask goes to work on your mane.

Promising review: "Having a shower beer has always been a nice relaxing way to chill after a long day of work. After moving to our new home, the new bathroom didn’t have shelves to place my shower beer on. So I got to looking for this exact thing. I read some reviews that said the suction didn’t work. Well, after a month it’s still holding strong. Helpful tip, lick the suction cup and stick it on the wall. Also it can be used as a cell phone holder. This is a must for anyone who enjoys a refreshing drink while showering." —Tyler Strain

Get it from Amazon.com for $9.99+ (available in five styles/colors).

12. A pound of cereal marshmallows so you can cut to the chase and skip eating only part of a box of Lucky Charms.

Get it from Amazon.com for $12.99.

13. A lidded charcuterie board because your doctor called and she said you need to be eating more meat and cheese. I gave this to my mom for Christmas and she LOVED it.

Promising review: "I bought these for a party and it was so easy to prep them and pop them into the fridge with the lid on. Same goes for storing leftovers afterward. It was also great to use for fresh fruit we cut up to enjoy all weekend. Looks lovely and is solid quality." —AmJam

14. A pack of boba popping balls if you go wild for a boba order and like to order extra balls. You can bring the gushy popping fun home and throw 'em in all kinds of beverages, like tea, lemonade, juice, and more!

Get it from Amazon.com for $3.21.

16. A universal remote attachment so you don't have to hunt down the TV remote and then the Fire TV remote because your partner misplaced them once again. This'll help you control it all with just your Fire TV remote and get back to watching ALL the seasons and spinoffs of 90 Day Fiance.

Reviewer's three remotes before the attachment; same review now with just one remote and the attachment

Promising review: "Before: three remotes, one for the screen (on/off), a separate one for the sound system (volume) and of course the fire stick remote. After: just the one convenient integrated unit. No more scrambling to find the which remote to do what I want, cause it's all right there in the one unit. I wish I'd have bought one years ago cause the multi-remote tango got old real fast." —Chapman B.

Get it from Amazon.com for $26.99.

17. A temperature-regulating, cocoon-like sleep pod so you can snooze off whenever you want without being disturbed by your partner when they crawl into bed. It applies a gentle, calming pressure like a hug, which'll make it feel even more luxurious.

Rest Chamber

I gave it a go myself, and it's incredibly stretchy!

Promising review: "The Rest Chamber is absolutely amazing. I am 41 and have had sleep maintenance insomnia for most of my life. If you don't know what that is I fall asleep fine but don't stay asleep. I'd wake up between four and eight times a night and sometimes only sleep two hrs and that'd be it. I have used the hug sleep for a week and have slept between seven and nine hours only waking up once. It's comfortable not too warm and the pressure it applies is comforting not restricting. I have recommended to everyone." —Amy Archambault

Get it from Rest Chamber for $69.99+ (available in sizes S–L).

18. A "Bacon Bin" because most things you cook on the stove can be improved by a bit of bacon grease, so let's save that magical liquid. Also it'll remind everyone to pour the grease in here instead of wastefully down the sink — which would cause a whole plethora of plumbing problems.

Promising review: "This little piggy works perfectly for storing or discarding the grease created from cooking. You can either store the grease/ lard in the container for future use, or as I do, pop the pig in the freezer for a bit, then dispose of the solidified grease. Would buy again." —Amazon.com Customer

Get it from Amazon.com for $20.99.

19. A hands-free Bluetooth remote for a silly-right-now purchase you'll be grateful you bought once you get nice and cozy under a blanket while reading on your Kindle. Go ahead and cancel that yoga class you signed up for before you REALLY got into your book.

Promising review: "I use this just to scroll while reading on my iPad. It allows me to curl up in the blankets while I have my iPad in a holder. (It may be lazy, but I’m obsessed all the same). Super comfortable to hold/ around your finger. Was easy to connect with my iPad and definitely worth the money in my opinion." —Mandi Arnold

20. A pair of reading glasses can let you look at stuff while horizontal so whoever's in the living room can never truly tell if you're asleep or not. What a fun (for you), scary (for them) trick!

Promising review: "Bought these as a humorous stocking stuffer, and my husband actually uses them! He has neck issues, and he watches tv in the recliner using them. They look hilarious, but if they help him enjoy watching TV without neck pain, it is a win win! They are much higher quality than I expected for the price. I thought they would be flimsy, but they are actually very well made. I was impressed." —Laura S

Get it from Amazon.com for $13.85.

21. A large-capacity rotating makeup organizer could help corral all your lippies without you having to declutter. You spent your money on them and you've been putting off wearing some of the fun and more outta-this-world colors. Just wear them! Life is short!!!

26. A photo pillow custom made with your fave meme because you're done being an interior design people pleaser. As a horror girlie who salivates over 1) Skeet Ulrich in Scream and 2) Flamin' Hot Cheetos, I made this pillow on my own and it's my favorite thing in my apartment.

hand holding photo pillow with meme of Skeet Ulrich of Scream licking fingers of fake blood but it looks like hot cheetos dust

I stumbled upon this hilarious meme on Instagram and immediately knew I had to bring it to life in some tangible way. So, I went ahead and designed a pillow through Shutterfly featuring the meme! It now proudly adorns my couch and tends to catch people off guard during video calls, as it always seems to be staring right at them. Interestingly, every man who's stepped into my apartment has expressed their dislike for it, which only makes me cherish it even more. It’s also given me a craving for Flamin' Hot Cheetos! I'm toying with the idea of creating a matching pillow of Matthew Lillard saying "peer pressure" into a phone. I'll keep you posted on that!

Get it from Shutterfly for $37.99+ (available in various sizes and photo configurations).

27. A shower curtain liner with mesh storage pockets I love and will buy for as long as it's a thing I can buy.

Yep, you're looking at my shower! I upgraded from a corner tension rod caddy and never want to go back. The mesh pockets drain water so your liner won't get all icky. And they make it easy to tell the difference between the minimalist packaging for your face wash and shave cream when it's way too early in the morning.
