21 Better-Than-TikTok-Shop Gifts For Everyone On Your List

We've been professionally researching, testing, and reviewing products for over 10 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Read more about our reviews and standards.

Looking for the best viral TikTok shop gifts to give this Christmas? What if I told you that the majority of your favorite TikTokers are pushing low-quality TikTok shop products and you can actually find better quality products elsewhere?

I get it; the allure of the super low prices of the TikTok shop can definitely grab you. Hell, I’ve fallen victim to purchasing something on the TikTok Shop, myself. But we’ve all been burned. Sometimes, influencers oversell in hopes to make a buck.

Below, we’ve curated a list of 21 better alternatives to super viral TikTok gifts. We don’t rely on influencer reviews to pick these products on this list. These products are handpicked by our expert gift curators, and have been tested by product testers and Masters of Gifts approved.

Proctor Silex DOUBLE Mini Waffle Maker

Yeah sure, the Dash mini waffle maker is great (and cheaper), but this mini waffle maker makes TWO mini waffles at a time instead of just one. Because, you know, who the hell eats just ONE waffle?

Pander Everywhere Belt Bag

Sure, you COULD spend $38 on the super boring black or grey-only lululemon Everywhere bag that everyone now has. OR, hear me out, you could add some color to your life with a dupe that looks exactly the same, but with the option of choosing vibrant colors. It’s available in great colors like Dark Salmon, Sonic Pink, Kelly Green, and more.

Rotary Cheese Grater 5 Blade Cheese Shredder

Take advantage of Prime shipping and purchase this rotary cheese grater instead of the one from the TikTok shop. The color options here are really great – Blush Pearl, Calm Teal, Crystal Sapphire, and quite a few other options.

Shark FlexStyle Hair Dryer & Styling System

The Dyson Airwrap has been popular for a couple years now, and it’s great – but it’s also $600. The Shark FlexStyle comes in at half the price, is rated even higher than the Dyson, and has more reviews.

Dossier Discovery Set

Buy It From Dossier | $99

Ok, TikTok influencers, not EVERY scent you’re pushing on the TikTok Shop is THE best-smelling thing you’ve ever smelled, right? Instead of trying to figure out which TikTok Shop perfume is the right one to gift, check out the Dossier Discovery Set. This set offers a curated collection of luxurious fragrance samples (enough to wear each a number of times), allowing exploration of various scents. Ideal for discovering personal favorites, this set is a Christmas gift that well let them find their own signature set.

Also included on our list of the best Christmas gifts for teen girls.

These Metal Chopsticks

Not looking for nerdy chopsticks like the viral Lightsaber chopsticks on the TikTok Shop? We would go with these metal chopsticks from the Greatamzor Store for a classier, more neutral gifting option. There you go – one of the cheapest and best TikTok gifts in the shop now has a classier dupe on Amazon.

Caraway Nonstick, Toxin-Free Ceramic Cookware

Sure, the Our Place’s viral Always pan is great for toxin free cooking, but a Caraway set is a better quality, display-on-your-counter-worthy alternative.

Cloud Slippers

Cloud slippers are the rage for homebodies and cozy enthusiasts.

Ufree Beard Trimmer 7-in-1 Beard Trimming Kit

This Ufree Beard Trimmer 7-in-1 trimming kit is way better than the viral TikTok beard trimmer. I personally own this, and not only does it work incredibly well, even on my thick luxurious beard – it also has a classier, unique look (it doesn’t look like just a hunk of plastic like many other beard trimmers do).

WiWi Bamboo Pajamas

Nevermind literally all of the other viral TikTok pajamas (there are many!). The WiWi Bamboo Pajamas Set is the BEST soft bamboo pajamas under $50. They make the PERFECT gift for moms, sisters, grandmas, your friends, etc.

EyeVac Pro Touchless Vacuum Automatic Dustpan

Expensive? Yes. But super useful? Absolutely.

trtl Travel and Airplane Pillow

Take advantage of Prime shipping and buy it on Amazon.

SUPMAKIN Safe Mandoline Slicer

These safe mandoline slicers have been on Amazon for way longer than anything on the TikTok shop. They’re a great go-to gift for anyone who is often in their kitchen.

NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip

If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to the Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow that blew up on TikTok, you should definitely take a look at the NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip. More shine and more vibrant color than the popular Addict Lip Balm — and 1/3 the price right now.

NETANY Drinking Glasses with Bamboo Lids and Glass Straw 4pcs Set

Those bamboo drinking glasses on the TikTok shop aren’t anything revolutionary, and you can find plenty more options on Amazon – AND ou can choose whether you want 4, 8, 16, or 20.

Tronco 40 oz Glass Tumbler with Straw and Lid

Class it up a little – instead of the bamboo drinking glasses, maybe go the glass tumbler route.

LOVEVOOK Weekender Bag

You don’t need to drop $100+ for the Beis The Weekender Bag – pick up the LOVEVOOK weekender for a much cheaper (but still super stylish and durable) travel bag.

JW PEI Women’s Joy Shoulder Bag

Obviously, Coach has a lock on the unique bag game with their Tabby shoulder bags. But the JW PEI Joy Shoulder Bag is around the same size, super sleek and stylish, and there are a plethora of color options (including a couple different greens). Best of all? It’s not $200+ – it’s $89.

JALL Super Slim LED Digital Alarm Clock

If your smartphone alarm isn’t quite cutting it and you want something a little more, check out the JALL Super Slim LED Digital Alarm Clock.

KAIWEETS 70-in-1 Mini Electric Screwdriver

The Fanttik E1 is trending all over TikTok, and has been since the dawn of the TikTok Shop. But the KAIWEETS 70-in-1 Mini Electric Screwdriver is super similar, but has 20 more attachments. Plus, you get the benefits of Prime overnight shipping.

ROWPOZ Mini Bag Sealer – NO BATTERIES REQ!

No products found.

The ROWPOZ Mini Bag Sealer is an upgraded sealer that’s infinitely better than those generic sealers you’re seeing all over the TikTok shop. Not only does it have a better, more ergonomic form factor, it also is rechargeable – you’ll never have to dig through your man drawer for batteries again. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone in 2024.
