10 viral TikTok items you need to add to your shopping list

These items are the definition of “TikTok made me do it.” TikTok users love a good hack, and these viral items are designed to make life much easier. From hi-tech gadgets to blankets and beyond, here are 10 viral TikTok items you simply need to try. 

Once a product goes viral on TikTok, everybody wants one. No matter how random, expensive or unnecessary (see: bedazzled tissue box).

Viral items have exploded on the platform in the past year. Videos of people trying their toys out have received millions of views. It’s easy to see why! TikTok products are often convenient and environmentally friendly. Usually, we wouldn’t think twice about changing a lightbulb, or opening a can of tuna. After TikTok introduced re-chargeable LED bulbs and electronic can openers, we realized we can’t live without them.

Here are 10 of the most viral TikTok items for you to add to your shopping list.
