Look, we've all bought random things online at one point or another (especially during Prime Day). And while sometimes these items sit in our homes unused, every once in a while the random purchase actually comes in clutch and you can't imagine your life without it anymore. If there's one place where you can buy random things that you never knew you needed, it's Amazon. With millions of products to choose from, though, it can be hard to determine which products really are just random and which will be life-changing. Lucky for you, it's our job to sort through Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days selection of products to find those hidden gems, many of which eventually become TikTok viral.

From cleaning products to beauty finds and home upgrades, we've found stand out products in every category that reviewers swear by. Take this foot balm, which you can rub all over your feet to prevent blisters or these sponges that effortlessly collects dust better than a traditional duster and a reusable lint roller you can use on clothes and furniture alike (not to mention, it has 137,400+ 5-star ratings). The best part is that many of these items are currently on sale for October Prime Day, with a few here and there that are not on sale (but are still very much affordable) and are backed by thousands of glowing 5-star reviews which is the true test of what's worth your money on Amazon.
