We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Make your life a heck of a lot easier with this portable air fryer and this lunch meat container that made itself the darling of FridgeTok. 1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles). 2.

Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders!

Amazon Check out a TikTok of the bacon bin in action. Talisman Designs is a small business that specializes in at-home cooking and entertaining products. Promising review:"This thing is awesome. Big enough to hold plenty of grease without taking up a ton of space. I keep mine in the butter compartment of my fridge next to the butter. I poured the grease right from the pan, still very hot right into it, and popped the lid on and put it in the fridge. Next time I needed some grease, I scooped some out with a spoon, no muss no fuss.

A leaf-shaped herb and kale stripper you can use for easy meal prepping when "all things delicious and green" are on the menu. It even features a curved edge for easy herb chopping. Amazon Promising review: "This is one of those random kitchen gadgets that you would never even think about existing, but it's brilliant!

It didn't have any 'smell' out of the packaging, which is always a plus!! Looks pleasant on our sofa. We placed it where we like to sit and, of course, where our pup likes to sit as well. This will keep our leather furniture clean, protected and warm when we sit down. So, goodbye to all those mismatched blankets. They were bulky and always bunching up and were meant to cover US up, not the sofa! Two thumbs up!!" — Kimberly Evanson Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in seven styles and five sizes). 30.

Promising review:"I keep these in my kitchen drawer and it's SO convenient for my painted cabinets! I LOVE the way they look, but inevitably (even though I sanded and prepped), I'll get little chips in the paint. These touch up pens stay in my junk drawer full of paint at all times. T he cap makes it so it never dries out and stays super clean. But I'm able to grab them any time and just touch things up so my cabinets ALWAYS look fresh." — Claire Flores Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 31.

Amazon Promising review: "The color of these books is actually more vivid and beautiful in person. I'm thrilled with how it looks on the shelf — plus, it's a very good hiding spot.

An expanding shower liner perfect for anyone whose tiny shower is trying to smother them. This helps give you some more elbow room so you're not getting into a wrestling match with plastic every morning. Promising review: "Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a tiny bathroom in an old apartment building with an untreated window that needs to be covered with a shower curtain inside my shower. E very time you'd shower, you would be attacked by curtains from both sides. That is until I purchased this curtain. It gives so much more room in the shower, like a curved shower rod, but without all that hardware and work associated with it. It's weighted enough so it doesn't move. I'm no longer attacked by my shower curtains. I 100% would purchase again." — Brittany Hopkins Get it from Amazon for $39.95 + (available in six styles).
