2020 was full of surprises, but the biggest shocker resulted in being home for endless months without family and friends around. As such, the Internet became a greater source of entertainment. Now, online shopping sites are best friends with many of us. There isn’t an item that we haven’t seen, tried, returned, and repurchased. The Internet boasts plenty of at-home, tech, and health items, but finding the ones worthy of our coins is where TikTok enters the chat.
Searching through the hashtags #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt or #AmazonFinds, we see plenty videos demonstrating various items bought off the recommendation of other TikTok users.
Complex has listed some must-have products based on TikTok demonstrations, ranging from home devices and skin care products to cookware and tech gadgets. Naturally, you may not love everything on this list, but you’ll definitely find something that will make your stay-at-home life a little more enjoyable.
If you’re working from home, chances are you’re sitting in front of a computer with webcam capabilities that, without your permission, can record you while searching the Net. Even worse, you could experience an unexpected Zoom surprise. So, do yourself a favor and invest in webcam covers that allow you to cover your webcam when it’s not in use.
Apparently, these have existed for awhile, and if you’re like me, you’ve been under a rock. This simple contraption is all over TikTok for people who use candles for self-care. The lighter is charged by USB and flexible enough to light any candle in your home.
Alcohol sales increased by 27%, between March 2020 and June 2020—thanks to COVID. Whether you’re day drinking or participating in a Zoom birthday party, wine has become a hit in most homes. So why not make popping bottles a little easier? Instead of your usual cork opener, invest in an air pressure bottle opener that takes out the stress of possibly breaking the cork in half or even worse, dropping it in the bottle.
Party in the bathroom? Absolutely. Take your showers to the next level with a showerhead that changes colors. The component comes with multiple settings that give you spa-like quality right in your home. Coupled with a bomb playlist, having a stay-at-home shower party has never been easier.
Being a parent and working from home can’t be easy. For parents who enjoy making at-home snacks, the Squeeze Station can save your budget by making fresh fruit juices right at home. If you’re feeling really extra, invest in the reusable pouches to save on recycling.
Tired of tacky-looking cords dangling at your feet or off your computer desk? Invest in a cable management box that allows you to clean any space that accompanies multiple electronic cords.
Understandably, you’re at home and we’re in a “panoramic,” but you still need fresh breath; even if you’re the only one smelling it. TikTok has high praises for TheraBreath mouthwash by Dr. Harold Katz, which boasts to be vegan, cruelty free, and eliminates morning breath and food odors.
If you’re working from a laptop, chances are you’re slouching (also, see Upright Go2) to eliminate back pain. Invest in a laptop stand. This particular brand elevates your laptop up to 6 feet, allowing you to be eye-level with your screen.
In a pandemic, we’ve all tried different ways to cope with our new reality, and some of us have ventured into cannabis. Whether it’s infused in food or smoked, cannabis has provided a sense of calm for consumers. If you’re looking to hide the strong smell or keep your bud fresh, this small but effective smell-proof bag will do the trick.
Being home more often doesn’t eliminate the threat of unwanted visitors—including your friends. To screen guests, most people use video doorbell systems like Ring, which can leave installation marks. If you’re in an apartment and want to reduce the risk of the landlord keeping your deposit, snatch up a doorbell mount to keep your Ring doorbell safe from theft and your door free from damage.
Because we’re trying to eliminate cords and clutter in 2021, save yourself the hassle and buy a wireless phone charger for your car that sets in your vents. The charger immediately detects your phone and you’re good to go. You’re making TikTok videos in your car anyway, this device just makes it a little easier.
To simplify your bedside, pick up the wireless charging station that also doubles as a lamp! It charges all of your Apple devices, provides ample amounts of light, and has an extra USB for any extra charging item.
When the pandemic started and nail salons were closed, how rough did your feet get? Eliminate that problem with this top-rated foot peel mask. Made with coconut and papaya extracts, your skin will peel for about a two-week period, healing any cracks and callouses.
