These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for 4+ hours with each full charge). The earbuds are also sweatproof and waterproof so you can use them during workouts or runs, (even in the shower!), and have a built-in mic so you can chat on the phone.

Promising review2: "Professional dog walker here. I've had these for a week and I am extremely pleased with this impulse buy. The sound quality is good. Great for the price. I like how you can use either separately if you've synced properly. I didn't read the description very well before I ordered, just reviews, and was surprised they are waterproof, and come with a cordless charging box. The box is awesome, too." —Jimpame2

"[These earbuds] looked cool, were in my price range, and had received a lot of great reviews so I bought them. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't really read much about them before I purchased them. Just another one of my many impulse buys. LOL! When I received the buds and started reading about them I was floored. They're WATERPROOF! That's great!...The carrying case is very solid and it needs to be because its' also the charger for the ear buds. You DO have to keep the case charged with a USB but when you need the buds charged you simply place them back in the case and whamo. Way cool! I've not had any problems with the buds moving around or falling out of my ears. Just follow their advice on sizing. Also, way cool! But the best feature is THEY SOUND AWESOME! I'm not an expert on stereo or sound equipment but I know what I like and I LOVE these. Buy them! You won't be sorry." —Trader by the Sea

I love the shorts underneath with the pocket and the material is so soft and really good quality. The shape is [great] too. I am eight months postpartum and I feel confident in this dress.

ComfiLife is a small business based in San Diego. They're all about pain relief, comfort, and taking care of your body.

Promising reviews: "Are you KIDDING ME??? This is the best dang thing that has happened to my butt since Mama rubbed it with Johnson's Baby Lotion! The cushion keeps its form and is so comfortable! I grabbed it on a whim, when I was about to drive on a two-hour car drive...what a world of difference this cushion was....I could actually stand up out of the car, without unfolding myself, when I got to my destination. Do yourself a favor and get one of these!" —Cbkirkland

Promising review: "Bought this knee pillow on a whim and regret not purchasing it sooner. I suffer from lower back pain due to a herniated disk and only feel comfortable sleeping on my side. Beforehand, only using pillows I'd find that they were a bit too 'fluffy' and wouldn't hold form, compressing overnight, and causing me to wake with lower back pain from time to time. This product has helped tremendously. It doesn't compress very much whilst sleeping and I find myself to wake up feeling more refreshed with little to no lower back pain. 5/5" —Zed R.

The Cat Ladies is a family-owned small biz ran by an animal-loving mother-daughter duo. They sell unique, environmentally-friendly pet products such as their best-selling cat grass kit!

Promising review: "I am very impressed with this!!! I have two rescue kitties that are indoor only... I was reluctant to try this because I do NOT have a green thumb at all... But I figured I'd give this a try. Amazingly, it worked!!!... My cats are enjoying it and it seems to be working well for them. They're not chewing on the stray synthetic carpet fibers from their worn out kitty condo (I'm sure that can't be healthy for them), so I'm very happy with this product. I would definitely recommend this. If it'll grow for me, it'll grow for anyone." —Lynda Dundar

Promising review: "My wife hates all my gadgets in our room and how they do an excellent job at lighting it up. Between the constantly flashing red, blue, and green LEDs, it was hard for her to fall asleep and stay asleep causing some not-so-nice mornings if you know what I mean. LightDims were an inexpensive impulse purchase because hey why not? It may compel my wife to stop complaining and actually get some peaceful sleep. Well I'm glad to announce, LightDims did the trick! I'm still able to monitor device activity at a glance, without putting on a personal light show in the room. The LightDims adhere strongly, comes in various shapes and sizes for convenience. It seem like they'd remove easily although who would want to? I'd definitely recommend LightDims to anyone for use on all their devices!" —A. Williams

Promising reviews: "Bought on a whim and I love these! I will be buying more." —Anashia Pendleton

"This is the BEST thing I've purchased on Amazon, hands DOWN! I have not used Chapstick on myself or my children since discovering this. I would bite my lips and they'd crack and be super painful. I applied it all day one day at work, as soon as it would sink in and moisturize I'd apply more and within that nine hour DAY my sliced lip was GONE! It was [great]! My coworkers all bought it after seeing it work its magic on my lip that day. I literally will absolutely buy more for gifts so people can try this product! Thats how great it truly is!... Its cheap and works better and faster than any ChapStick I've tried!" —Kristi

Tons of reviewers with different hair types (2C, 4A, and more) absolutely love this brush.

Promising review: "Listen, I don't know who Lily England is, but that woman is a godsend! I'm not up to the times when it comes to beauty products and what not. Being in the military also makes me plaster my hair to my head, so trying to brush out my hair at the end of the day with all the product turns into to another war in itself. For as long as I can remember, I have always used a normal brush. I also used to just brush (or rip) my hair out as if my hair took my man from me. Honestly, I don't even know why I got the brush. It was a very impulsive, 'oooh that's shiny' purchase, but oh my lawd am I so thankful for this brush. The first time I used it, I decided to try after work. This thing literally told my hair that everything was going to be OK. I also used to make a rug on my floor with my hair, and I also could have made a scarf with the hair that was left on my regular brush after three days. Not this bad boy!!! Just buy it... It's shiny, it's nice to your hair, your head, and your floor." —Ashley

Promising reviews: "Impulse bought this while bored in quarantine and I have no idea how every single influencer/skin care guru/etc isn’t raving about this. It’s literally transformed my skin. I’ve always [had] acne, which is frustrating. Several days after using this, I didn’t connect the dots as to why I had zero zits and totally smooth, hydrated skin. I actually took a pregnancy test because my skin has never glowed like this before. After about a week, I realized the only thing that had changed was adding this serum to my routine. That was a month ago, and my skin still looks incredible! Amazing product." —Very Pleased Customer

"I love this product! It’s a lightweight serum that has made my skin brighter and more clear by adding it to my skin care routine. Best impulse buy I’ve done ;)" —Paige Klaus

It comes with a dry-erase marker, too!

Promising review: "I got this as a bit of an impulse buy after seeing this on BuzzFeed. I am one of those who likes to doodle during meetings, so this is a nice addition to my WFH desk... The writing surface seems to be good quality. A black marker is included, but I also bought the additional Quartet markers to get different colors. Thinking about getting one of these when I return to the office." —LA Girl

This cleaning pen has soft bristles for gentle cleaning, and is filled with a cleansing and polishing solution that removes dirt and oil, and fills in scratches, making jewelry as good as new! All you need to do is twist the bottom of the pen and start brushin'.

Promising review: "I purchased this on a whim for my engagement shoot, and I really didn't think my ring was lacking in luster before, but it made SUCH a difference! I have an intricate vintage setting with tiny side stones, and the diamonds just came to life! It was really easy to use (you just brush it on and rinse it off) and it seems like a fantastic value. I'm definitely keeping this in my jewelry box from now on." —Alice

Promising review: "I just started to notice fine lines appearing under my eyes, so I ordered this eye cream on a whim and it is SO WORTH IT! Major game changer, I noticed a huge difference not only in fine lines but also in under eye darkness and puffiness in only one week! Highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone, I have extremely oily skin and I put this all the way around my eye and haven't had any breakouts, not to mention my skin is super smooth which makes makeup application a dream. 10/10 product, will purchase again!" —Katherine E Brings

When the stick gets a little small, many reviewers shared that they simply pop it into the microwave for a few seconds to puff it back up a bit. It helps the stick last just a little bit longer, and your pup will definitely appreciate it.

Promising review: "I have picky dogs: an elderly teacup Chihuahua, a 13-lb spicy rat terrier and a 120-lb+ GSD. Each of them has a preference for relaxation snacks. Usually not the same. I bought these on a whim. I'm glad I did. I figured they'd at least work for one dog since all three love cheese. I really didn't expect them all [to love them]....Nowadays it's hard for us to find treats that satisfy all three. This one though definitely does. On average one treat lasts the big dog a day (an hour), two days if he's chewing and putting it down, and a few if they've had enough chews around the house and just browse. I like that it's a basic ingredient food and love that it's versatile. If soaked in water it softens so a dog who normally wouldn't be able to can enjoy one but just by itself it will hold up reasonably to big jaws." —Cynna

Promising review: "This is amazing! I bought this on a whim, but I’m so glad I did and I’ve already recommended all my friends to purchase one! This helps the quality of photos when you’re inside or anywhere you need good lighting. Great for makeup photos which is why I bought it in the first place...Great product very happy with the purchase and better quality photos I’ve been able to take." —Ashley B

Promising review: "Bought these for my partner who has struggled in falling asleep/remaining asleep for(ever...or at least) a long time. We had tried different bedding, pillows, temperature, noise machines as well as improved sleep hygiene (exercise, not eating or devices before bed, light-blocking blinds, etc.) to no avail. We saw these in the store and they were in her favorite flavor. On a whim we purchased a container and she can finally fall asleep shortly after going to bed and sleep more comfortably through the night. We have recommended these to several family members and friends and most have been very happy with the product." —Polychronopolis

This set includes one small clip (usually for bangs) and one large. Reviewers use each of these to create layers, add bangs, or just to cut off split ends.

Promising review: "So I bought the CreaClip on a whim because my hair was [annoying me] with how long it was getting, and I didn't feel like trying to find the time to go to a salon. Let me just say I have zero experience cutting hair and don't particularly excel at even styling my hair, so I was a little hesitant. This product worked fantastically! I cut several inches off my hair beautifully with the large CreaClip and even did a gentle swooping bang — yes I cut a successful bang without difficulty! I do recommend watching the video tutorial on their website. Only thing I had to do after the cut was just even out a couple of longer hair pieces I missed. I definitely recommend giving this product a try, especially if you want to skip the salon from time to time or even just want to trim your hair." —Ash

Promising review: "I’m not great at painting my nails and this stuff helps keep them looking neat without a lot of effort. It works exactly how you would think and peels off clean. The little stick it comes with is also super useful to clean edges up. Impulse buy that I’m happy with." —Erin

To get your foot nice and smooth, slip on the foot mask and leave them on for at least an hour (some reviewers recommend just throwing socks over the mask to keep things secure). After you remove and wash your feet, you'll see your dead skin and calluses begin to peel a few days later — if you've got a lot, It'll look something like the pics above. The gross (but oddly fun?) part is watching the process as you slowly make your way to super-smooth feet!

Promising review: "These masks really work!...My feet have been awful for years... I tried these on a whim and followed the instructions. After the first mask, the peeling began on the second day and continued for the rest of the week. I still had some rough callouses along with some cracks especially on my heels, so I used the second mask one week after the first as instructed. It's been about 12 days since that second mask and the difference in my feet is amazing. My heels are soft. The calluses and cracks are gone. My feet haven't been this good in my entire adult life. I'm so pleased to have found this product." —Jeremy T. Messenger

Some reviewers apply it before their makeup while others find it works best on top of their foundation. You may need to experiment to find the right order for you. You can also apply it to your hair (make sure you dust off the residue) so your roots look freshly washed.

Promising review: "I bought this powder on a whim and it has now become a crucial part of my makeup routine! It is awesome if you have oily skin. However, the powder is a translucent white, so I am not sure how it would look on a person of color with a deeper complexion. For someone with a deeper complexion, I think it would work wonderfully if they only applied it under their foundation, after their lotion and primer." —Dani

It comes with its own carrying case, too!

Promising review: "This thing is amazing! I sincerely wasn't expecting it to be this awesome, especially for the price I paid since it was on lightning deal. It's the perfect size and the sound quality seriously wows me. Buy it. Even if it's not on deal, buy it. I'm super happy with this impulse buy." —Misty

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Both my cats seem to love this inexpensive product. Bought on a whim but very pleased. Little need for catnip, with some positive attention and gentle encouragement they started using this groomer and haven't stopped, only when it falls down. Didn't want to use screws and haven't found a lasting adhesive tape that holds up under such constant use. Command strips are on the shopping list." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I teach online for at least five hours a day, seven days a week. After teaching, I spend all day working on graduate assignments. I’m on my computer for approximately 14-18 hours per day, and it was starting to overheat. I bought this on a whim, and it is the best purchase I’ve made all year. It is quiet and my students can’t hear it through my headphone mic, it’s incredibly light and works perfectly. The first day I taught, I was so impressed — my computer didn’t overheat at all! One week down, and I’m in love. I should have bought one sooner!" —PipsPlusOne

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim thinking it would be OK but not live up to the raves...was I wrong! Price is in line (or actually less!!) with high end makeup products. I squirted a half pump on my finger and massaged into my cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, neck, applying a bit more where needed, rubbed it around, and had little white globs come off that I easily washed away, leaving no burning, redness, or tenderness — just smooth skin. Used it again two days later, and noticed some recent acne scars already lightening (recent as in earlier in the week) but no real impact yet on some older darker spots. I will give it some time. Still smooth skin, but the overall level of 'brightening' wasn't as dramatic as the first time. Will likely use one to two times a week and cancel those appointments for facials. Seriously. —K. Welto

Promising review: "This stuff is fantastic! My eyelashes are dark and aren't particularly long. A few coats of this, and it really looks like I have extensions. The day I got it, I had to get right back on Amazon and order another tube for my mother. She tried it, and it made her VERY sparse, short lashes look like doll lashes. Doesn't seem to smudge, yet removal is easy at the end of the day! Definitely feel good about this $5 impulse purchase!" —Jane Eyre

Promising review (long but worth the read!): "We rescued this adorable dog a few months ago...Her paperwork had her listed as a Shepard mix and we thought that wasn't right and different paperwork suggested she was a labradoodle which we thought most likely but due to her smaller size we didn't think that was quite right either...When we saw the sale it was impulse to buy it.Got the test in quickly (thanks Amazon) and taking the sample was pretty easy and straightforward. Sent it off and it took a while but just short of a month later we got our results. Before getting our results we did get updates along the way each step. When they received the sample, and a few other times explaining the process which was so neat to learn about.We got out health back a day or two before the breed. It was good to see our dog was healthy and didn't carry a whole host of genetic markers. Then we got the breed information back and we were stunned to find out our dog was part poodle which is what we suspected and her other half was Siberian husky which we did not suspect at all!!... It takes away the mystery and now when people ask what she is we can tell them!... I would 100% do it again! What a blast! —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I've been on prescription migraine meds for years and at times, even they don't completely eliminate the headache and neck pain. Even when they do, it can be torture waiting for the pill to digest and take effect. I tried this stuff on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised. I don't know if it's an aromatherapy thing or what, but this stuff is fantastic at relieving both headache and neck pain. I still use my migraine meds, but this has made all the difference in me being able to keep going while the pills take effect instead of having to give up and retreat to bed." —hengreen

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because I knew my boyfriend would laugh and appreciate the heck out of it...My boyfriend plays video games and has a fair share of Cowboy Bebop figurines, so when I saw it I knew he'd get a kick out of it. 11/10 would buy again just for another chance to see his reaction. And honestly it looks great [and] transformed a boring white fridge we paid no mind to, to a clever and cute conversation piece that ~also~ serves a function." —Olivia

This gadget is battery-operated and requires two AA batteries you can grab here!

Promising review: "Okay, I don’t normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I’m depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Jensen

This was an impulse buy of mine back in 2018 and it's still in the top five of best impulse purchases ever. This was my everyday purse when five-days a week in the office was still my norm, and it's still my go-to when I know a heavy-duty shopping day is ahead. It's really comfortable and lightweight, the strap is the perfect length, it's *stunning* in person, and the inside is extra extra roomy (which is what I love the most). There's enough room for my 13" laptop, notebooks, a small makeup bag, and there's still room to spare. The two front pockets are perfect for things like phone, keys, etc. I love it!

Arcana is a small business with one main product: the time marker bottle. They use environmentally-friendly, frosted Tritan plastic that is 100% BPA free!

Promising review: "Like so many others, I saw these water bottles all over TikTok but sheesh the price for some of the ones they had were atrocious! So when I saw Arc had one PRETTIER and MORE glam feeling for a cheaper price I had to grab it, being the money-wise but impulsive shopper that I am :) LISTENNNNN!! I have a hundred other water bottles, this is by far my favorite!! It’s soooo easy to clean, I KEEP Vaseline on my hands and this has yet to fall (so duh it’s easy to hold), but it has fallen a ton because I’m clumsy and it still looks brand new!

I saw this and on a whim, ordered it thinking for the money I could toss it if she was once again not impressed. She loves it. Her only other favorite plaything has been wire bread sack ties hooked together and spiral curled around my finger. All normal cat toys, regardless of price, have been a bust.
