About this challenge

We've all been there...you're scrolling aimlessly through social media and you can't seem to get away from the targeted ads that somehow seem to know you just a little too well. *Adds to cart.* A few quick clicks of a button, and in a couple of business days, your order arrives. Social media platforms, like TikTok and Instagram, appear to be the keeper of all the exciting trends online. From miracle leggings to makeup mini-fridges, social media has been responsible for presenting us with products we don't necessarily need – but can't seem to live without!

Join the Add to Cart Challenge and tell us about the items social media made you buy. Whether you received a targeted ad online or a creator influenced you on TikTok, tell us what item(s) made you cave and make the purchase. Once you received it, was it worth the hype? Let us know what we're missing out on! Guide us through your recent splurge-worthy shopping, and be sure to embed photos and links to the items so we know where to find the best deals.\
