TIKTOK MADE YOU BUY IT: A SELECTION OF VIRAL, GIFTY FINDS

Look no further than TikTok and its pandemic-expanded ranks for unique holiday gifts, from the hot Halara athleisure dress to a miracle cleaning paste called The Pink Stuff, worthy of any neat freak’s Christmas stocking.

- 

The short-form video platform was a hit for millions during quarantine times, and the hashtag TikTokMadeMeBuyIt endures. The hashtag has been viewed more than 5.6 billion times, driving TikTok to boost its direct shopping tools. There’s something for everybody down that yellow brick road for the holidays.

Try one of these:

THE HALARA

Nothing says viral quite like the sporty, ultra-popular Halara dress, specifically the tank-top version that comes in a range of colors and sizes up to 3X. It’s called the In My Feels Everyday Dress-Wannabe, and it includes attached shorts and handy pockets. It’s super soft and stretchy. The brand followed up with the In My Feels Everyday Chill Dress-La La Land, a version with a midi slit skirt. The tennis-looking original sells for $49.95. The newer one goes for $44.95. Both are available on Halara.com.

THE PINK STUFF

The basic ingredients in this all-purpose cleaning paste are baking soda, quartz, sodium silicate and soap, lending an abrasive feel. It’s a stocking stuffer extraordinaire for uber-cleaners and the rest of us who don’t want to break a sweat. Fans on TikTok are most impressed by its muscle on built-up greasy things. Best part: It’s only $8.15 on Amazon for 17.6 ounces. There’s a bathroom foam cleanser and multipurpose spray cleaner as well.
