Scroll-stopping swag

Yup, that’s me during my ’90s big hair infomercial days as the Komputer Tutor, teaching America how to conquer their computers one VHS tape at a time.
Before TikTok and Instagram, there were late-night infomercials, and wow, we bought it all. Remember the ThighMaster? The Flowbee? The Clapper? “Set it and forget it!”
Fast-forward to today, and social media’s the new infomercial.
But for every gem, there are a hundred gadgets that don’t work or break after a week. I sorted through the chaos to find the internet-famous products that actually live up to the hype. Even better? They make fantastic gifts, for others or yourself. You’ve earned it.

Connects with your phone to turn any room into a cinema (even your backyard).
💡 2. Clip-on selfie ring light ($12, 29% off)
Basically, it’s studio lighting that clips to your phone and fits in your pocket.
👕 3. Shirt folding board ($17, 26% off)
Breeze through laundry day. Folds your shirts faster than retailers on Black Friday.
🍝 4. Clip-on pots & pans strainer ($8.50, 29% off)

🍽️ 5. Microwave splatter cover ($20, 35% off)

🐶 10. Reusable pet hair remover ($25, 11% off)
Got a furry roommate? This roller will put your old sticky one to shame. Warning: oddly satisfying to use.
📈 This list could’ve been twice as long, but I had to stop somewhere. The rest of the trending gear (like a great mini fan that’s almost half off) is waiting for you on my Amazon shop.
