Why Trust BuzzFeed Shopping? BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way. Kathleen Shea-Porter has been a freelance writer for BuzzFeed since 2020. She's always on the lookout for products that are the perfect blend of form and function — especially if it's in the realm of parenting, travel, and home goods and décor. When she's not writing, she's planning big adventures for her family, listening to audiobooks while cooking, and dreaming up theme parties to throw for her friends.
