Gift Guide 2022: TikTok Made Me Buy It!

TikTok has the ability to make me want to buy all kinds of stuff. And I HAVE. Any little gadget or gizmo I see on TikTok I see, I think, “THAT would make my life so much better!” These littel doodads are perfect gifts, because they’re relatively inexpensive (apart from one thing) and not something someone would buy for themselves.

You can click on each item to be taken directly to the purchase page, or read on for my recommendation rationales.

  • Why do I think having dispensers for bottles in my fridge would make my life infinitely better? I don’t know! But I feel like this is a gag gift that I would actually LOVE. No more pulling the milk or juice out of the fridge door to POUR out like some kind of neanderthal?? A dream!

  • TikTok totally influenced me to get a Nespresso, which I am obsessed with, and now I’m wanting a HyperChiller. For me, it’s always iced coffee season, so having a way to make my fancy little espresso drinks virtually instantly cold is very appealing.

  • Okay, this is the main luxury item TikTok has made me want to buy. Since 2020, I’ve worn my hair up like 95% of the time, and TikTok has led me to believe that a $100 French hair pin would make my constant updo so, so chic.

  • I dread opening a new jar of peanut butter, because I’ll have to spend what seems like forever stirring it. This specialized tool stirs natural peanut butter perfectly, all the way down the jar, saving you time and energy. Plus, there’s a little card to wipe any excess PB off the stirrer, so you don’t waste one bit.

  • I wrote about this over the sink makeup holder before, and I still want one! Having some extra space in my tiny bathroom would be such a help, but I can’t justify the price. BUT, if someone were to give this to me as a gift?? I’d appreciate it forever.
