We’ve all been there. You’ve just finished up a long day at work or school so you head to the couch for some mindless phone fun. You scroll through Instagram, you check out what’s going on in the Twittersphere, you answer a few Snapchats until you’ve reached the only ane the only light of your life for the past year and a half: TikTok. One video turns into two which turns into three which turns into eighty-seven. Six hours later, your eyes hurt, your stomach is growling, it’s somehow now dark outside.
It’s safe to say TikTok is dangerously addicting — no matter what side of TikTok you’re on.
Whether you’re a creator or just a watcher, there’s another semi-malicious side to TikTok we can’t hold off on either: and that’s product-Tok.
For real, some of the items we see on TikTok are must-haves. So much so that we consistently fear for the future of our credit cards. From butt-boosting pants (you know the ones) to fun games to play with friends and even alcohol, the best TikTok gifts are not hiding. They’re all over the app and for a lot of us, they’re already sitting in our Amazon carts ready for checkout.
If you’re obsessing over something you’ve recently seen on TikTok or there’s someone in your life you’re looking to snag one of the best TikTok gifts for this year, see below to see what TikTok’s crushing on now.
1. Ring Light
To start off, we’re suggesting something every creator on TikTok needs to keep the quality in their videos. For any pal doing their little dancey dances on the short video app, ensure they’re using a ring light of some sort for the best lighting they can get for video creation. No, it’s not necessarily trending on TikTok, but it’s a key component behind the scenes the majority of the time.
