Because if my fitted sheet slips off or my glasses slide down the bridge of my nose one more time I am going to lose it.
1. A set of no-show socks with grippy silicone backing strips on the inside to stop them from rolling down under your heel, which is enough to make you want to kick your shoes off and just go home. They're still low-cut enough to wear with flats and slip-on sneakers, but they'll never betray you in the middle of your afternoon walk.
Promising review: "I really like the no-show socks for summer. These have the rubber bit on the heel that helps them to stay on, which is something that I look for in these kinds of socks. I really, really, like really like them. They are low enough that they are no-show when worn, unlike some other types that say they are but definitely aren't. They are also nice and snug and sooo comfortable. They are my new go-to no-show sock, so much so that I don't even wear my old pairs anymore. I will most definitely buy more." — Alicia

2. A set of sheet detanglers to stop your bedding from becoming a tangled mess in your washer and dryer — because there are few things worse than realizing your pillowcases are still wet after getting caught in your fitted sheet during the dryer cycle.
Amazon
Promising review:"I saw Wad-Free featured on a local TV segment. I was mildly skeptical. However, it works exactly as promoted! I've used it five times and each time there's been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases or other items balled up and still wet when the dryer timer goes off. Super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the bottom so I don't have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these for gifts. LOVE this item!" — Amazon Customer
Wad-Free is a small business and was featured on Shark Tank.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99.
3. A pack of body and fabric tape that proves strapless dress season doesn't have to equal constantly-pulling-up-your-dress season. This will keep your dress securely in place and is specially designed to be safe for your skin. You can also use it to stick your tank top strap and bra strap together, because if it slips one more time ..., 😤
Amazon
Promising review:"I purchased this tape to enhance my décolleté, and I am thrilled with the results! The tape sticks well to both my skin and clothes, providing a secure and comfortable fit. It has helped me achieve the desired look and boost my confidence. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to enhance their décolleté!" — sczyrba
Fearless is a small business specializing in body and clothing tape.
Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in five styles).
4. An auto-open (and auto-close!) umbrella with 72,000 rave reviews. Yes, you read that right. How does a meager umbrella have that many fans? Many of them say this is truly windproof — meaning it won't flip inside out when a heavy gust of wind blows your way and embarrasses you in front of everyone on the street. And with your luck, some 14-year-old would record it for all of TikTok to see. Don't let the youth bully you — add it to the cart.
It also has a lifetime replacement warranty!
Promising review:"I really got tired of having umbrellas turn inside out during a big rain storm while I'm outside. And it would always happen right in front of people. And those were name-brand umbrellas. So, I checked out reviews about Repel and ordered one. I've used it for a couple of years, and at no time, even during the heaviest of wind and rain, I have not had it turn inside out. I think it's the vent at that top. The vent does not let rain in. So I just bought another Repel umbrella to keep in the vehicle. One for travel with me, one in the vehicle for those very frequent times I drive somewhere, and a rain storm whips up, even though it is not on the weather app!" — Brother O
Get it from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in two sizes, 20 colors, and packs of two, three, and four).
5. A "Purse Gummy" nonslip grip sticker to solve the one annoyance that can ruin not just a day but an entire weekend — your bag's strap slipping off your shoulder when you're already overheated and overstimulated. Please do not talk or even look at me when this happens. But it shouldn't happen often with this — just stick it to the underside of your bag's strap and the silicone strip will add some grippy friction, even when you're wearing your silkiest cardigan.
Amazon, www.youtube.com
Promising review:"I recently bought a high-quality leather shoulder strap handbag and was having problems with it sliding off my shoulder, since the leather strap was fairly smooth. So I went online and searched to see if there were any products out there that would solve this issue...and I found the Purse Gummy! It works beautifully! No more struggling with a slipping strap. It is hardly noticeable on the strap since it is on the underside, but I wouldn't mind it if was seen because it works so well." — D. Dillon
Purse Gummy is a small business.
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in three colors).
6. An alcohol-free oral rinse so you'll never experience the "oh no, does my breath stink?! *breathes into palm*" moment of panic ever again. It's designed to work for a whopping 12 hours — so you can basically be protected from stanky breath for 24 hours if used twice a day! Reviewers love this formula since it doesn't burn on contact and actually lasts throughout the day.
If you like fluoride in your mouthwash, check out the anti-cavity version instead.
Promising review:"I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. I've found that gargling and using the TheraBreath throat spray in addition to rinsing with this have greatly improved my breath. Will definitely be buying again." — Alex
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint).
7. Anti-slip glasses holders because if your specs slide down the bridge of your nose one more time you might just snap them in half. Just place these on the back of your glasses temples and they'll help keep them firmly in place. As a glasses wearer with a very oily nose, I thank myself every single day for buying these.
Amazon
Promising review:"I love this product. I had grown weary with my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." — Danyelle Brazell
Anchor Glasses Straps is a small business.
Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $9.99 (available in black or a multicolor pack).
8. A 3-in-1 wireless charger that makes it a breeze to power up your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time — no more "aaaaaaaaahhhhh I forgot to charge my phone last night!!!!!!" moments! The standout feature might just be the foldable design, meaning you can take it to the office with you so your noise-canceling AirPods never run out of juice. Imagine having to listen to your co-workers instead?!
Just be sure your devices support wireless charging!
Promising review:"I love this charging station! I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game-changer for me. I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now, there's no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds), and the station itself is easy to set up and use." — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven colors).
9. Adjustable bedsheet fasteners for anyone who is going to lose their cool if the fitted sheet slips off one more time. I feel you — and these elastic wonders are the answer you've been looking for. Just clip them onto each corner, and they'll provide extra support to keep your sheet in place.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My husband turns a lot in his sleep and has always woken up with the fitted sheet halfway off his side of the bed. We bought these, and we have NEVER once had to adjust the sheet in the morning! These are amazing! They're the kind of thing you'll never know how you lived without before." — LinseyB
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and a pack of eight).
10. A liquid fabric mender that'll help quickly repair any rips, tears, or holes that pop up on your fave clothing pieces while you're out and about, because an emergency trip to TJ Maxx for a new pair of pants is the ultimate way to ruin a good day. Tiny rip in your new shorts? Sequins popped off of your go-to sandals? This quick-drying formula can patch that up and make your A-list clothing pieces look good as new.
Promising review:"Works amazingly. My hiking bag of 12 years finally started to show signs of wear and began tearing at the seam. After searching and realizing my bag was discontinued and no other bag in the same price range compared I looked into repairing it. The seam began wearing and was unable to be stitched back together. This liquid stitch teamed with Tenacious Tape worked so well I decided to apply liquid stitch to all seams and make my hiking bag better than new. Goes on white but dries clear." — Cheryl Bates
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
11. A pack of heel stoppers so you can face fancy footwear's worst enemy: gravel, grass, and uneven sidewalks. These cute petal-shaped attachments will add some extra surface area to your heel so you won't have to perform a full-on acrobatic tightrope walking routine when trying to cross a cobblestone street.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Elizabeth Lilly, a BuzzFeed editor, put these to the test as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding after writing about them in a ton of shopping stories. Here's what she had to say:
"When my friend asked me to be a bridesmaid, and I learned I'd be walking on grass for the ceremony, I got a bit worried. What's a klutz with a high center of gravity to do while trying not to 1) fall down in front of approximately 150 guests, or 2) keel over while quietly stifling tears during her friends' vows? Buy some Heel Stoppers, that's what! I was able to easily slip them onto the glitter-encrusted heels (and later remove them with no damage to the heels).
On the day of the ceremony, these sturdy pieces of plastic made the heels much easier to walk in and prevented me from aerating the lawn. My feet still hurt to the high heavens because those gorgeous shoes don't have a lot of support for a seldom-stiletto-wearer like me. Out of all the dough I spent on my bridesmaid ensemble, these were the biggest bang for my buck!"
GoGoHeel is a small business.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes).
12. A BrüMate tumbler with a feature you've been praying to the tumbler gods for: a straw lid that doesn't leak!!! Yes, you can turn this baby upside down like a DQ Blizzard, and you won't lose a single drop. The thought of throwing this in my giant tote bag and not having to worry about spills is honestly bringing a tear to my eye. Actually, one time a friend of mine spilled her Stanley full of water all over her laptop and it was enough to actually bring tears to her eyes. She really needed this.
And of course, it has all the usual features you'd know and love by now — a handle, cup holder–friendly fit, and insulation that keeps drinks cold for over 24 hours. Oh, and it's dishwasher-safe!
Promising review:"The BrüMate is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for a reliable drink container. I ts 100% leakproof design means you can confidently toss it into your bag without worrying about spills, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The durability is outstanding; it holds up well against daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek look and performance. Most impressively, it keeps beverages cold for a full 24 hours. Whether you're hiking, at the office, or relaxing by the pool, the BrüMate is the ultimate companion for keeping your drinks icy cold. Highly recommend!" — Horace Dixon
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 21 colors and two sizes).
13. A set of Lock Laces because tripping over untied shoelaces is enough to knock the cool out of anyone. They'll also turn all of your sneakers into slip-ons, which is the height of convenience and also super helpful for people with limited motor skills. Now you can just slip your shoes on, pull the toggle cord to your preferred tightness, and go about your day!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I can't believe just how pumped I am over these shoelaces! They make me wanna slip my shoes off and on just because I can! They make my shoes more comfortable than I could have ever imagined (due to the elasticity). I have them set up to just the right amount of tightness to where I can just slip my shoes on and off without having to adjust them at all (and they are plenty tight). Welcome to the 21st century!" — dm925
Get it from Amazon for $9.27+ (available in 17 colors).
14. A protective spray that creates an invisible coating on surfaces to prevent fingerprints, stains, smudges, soap scum, and more — so it's a must for all my fellow spill-prone people who dread the day their clumsiness leads to an untreatable stain. It's safe for use on almost any hard surface, including granite counters, stainless steel, marble, porcelain, and glass — and the coating lasts for up to 12 months!
To use: Clean surface beforehand, then spray on surface, buff in with the included microfiber towel and wipe away any residue, then let cure for two hours before using the surface (though it's best to wait up to four hours before getting the surface wet). Btw, since it leaves a slick coating, you should not use it on floors.
Promising review:"After having to wipe off fingerprints and smudges on my refrigerator every time I opened it and using every product imaginable, I had little hope in another one. Much to my delight, this was a winner! I applied it two weeks ago and I can honestly say there are no fingerprints whatsoever. It is worth the price for how little I will probably have to use it. My fridge looks brand new. Five stars for me." — deb25
Lifeproof is a small business specializing in home cleaning products.
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (also available in a two-pack).
15. A pack of SweatBlock wipes — this might be the most aptly-named product ever; they truly block the sweat. If you spend all of spring and summer pleading with your sweat glands to chill the heck out, this might be the answer you're looking for. They're super easy to use: dab the wipe on your underarms, let it dry for 3–5 minutes, let it sit overnight, then clean with soap and water in the morning. Once you do that, you'll be protected from excess sweat and odor for up to seven days.
Promising review: "I never write reviews but this product warrants one. I [have] social anxiety and can sweat profusely for no apparent reason. It began to impact my work and personal life. While treatment like therapy and medication help, these wipes were the missing key for me to remove sweating from the equation and focus on living in the moment without fear. I've never felt more confident!" — Kyle
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of 20 and 30).
16. And seamless bra liners to stop the dreaded underboob sweat from seeping through to your shirt and ruining your cool-as-a-cucumber aesthetic. Simply place them in your bra and let the moisture-wicking fabric do its magic while keeping you extra comfy.
FYI: They're machine-washable!
Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65° outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." — Niko
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in several color combos).
17. And!!! A pack of disposable underarm shields so you'll be extra protected when you attend a baseball game and a round of ~the wave~ threatens to broadcast your sweat stains up on the jumbotron. These adhere to the inside of your clothing and absorb wetness to keep those pesky sweat stains at bay.
Promising review:"I love these. I have a few cute summer dresses with sleeves — eeek! The first time I tried the shields, it was 104 degrees at an outdoor event, and I was sweating bullets! The shields worked BEAUTIFULLY. Not a sweat stain in sight." — Cosmic Girl
Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $14.99.
18. A seat gap filler so your phone won't drop in that scary crevice between your seat and center console when you're already running super late for work. It'll also catch all of those fries that go rogue and jump out of your hand on the way from the McDonalds bag to your mouth.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" I just don't understand why I didn't buy this sooner. It's one of those things that you're not really sure why you need it but once you have it, you can't live without. It saved my poor arm from having to dig my keys, cellphone, pens, french fries, hair ties, you-name-it from between the seat gap. Seriously, it's awesome." — Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
19. A set of four shower clips to keep your liner securely in place — now you'll never feel like the star of a 2025 Psycho reboot when the liner randomly attacks you mid-shampoo rinse. It'll also keep any water from splashing out, because wiping down a floor is a surefire way to ruin your relaxed post-shower mood.
Note: The brand recommends using this with cloth liners, as thicker plastic liners can be hard to fit in the clips. However, some reviewers have had luck using these with plastic liners as long as they insert and remove them carefully to avoid tears in the plastic. Looking for a good, affordable cloth liner? Amazon reviewers have given this one more than 37,000 rave ratings!
Promising review:"These are awesome shower clips! They keep the water from getting on the floor, and they keep the cold air out. They were super easy to install. I recommend wiping whatever surface you plan on attaching them to with rubbing alcohol first, and then sticking them on where you want." — Ben P
Get the pack of four from Amazon for $7.99.
20. A pack of DressWeights so you won't have to guard your skirt every time there's a light breeze. These discreetly adhere to the inside hem of your dress to keep it in place, and reviewers say they hold up even on super windy days.
Each adhesive should last ~six uses with proper care.
Promising review:"What an amazing invention! I had my bridesmaids use these for my destination wedding. I got married outside by a very windy gazebo and they worked like a charm. Highly recommend!" — kimberlyo143
DressStrong is a New York City-based small business. Christina, the owner, came up with the idea in 2012 to save us all from unwanted Marilyn Monroe moments.
Get a set of four weights from DressStrong on Etsy for $18.99.
21. A pack of thin and discreet incontinence pads to provide some absorbent protection on the days when your bladder has a mind of its own. It's made with ~FreshSense~ fabric to lock in any odors and keep wetness from leaking through.
Promising review:"I use these for nighttime. They are the best ones for me so far. Regular length, they don't scrunch up, they stay put and absorb really great. Plus, they are not perfumed. I have tried many other brands, and Poise is the one for me! I also use Poise Light during the day (regular length). You can't tell you have them on like the old days when wearing a period pad." — Leeloo
Get a box of 144 from Amazon for $30.36 (available in five styles and smaller pack sizes).
22. A wire-free bra that not only provides support without the threat of an underwire stabbing you out of nowhere, but also has sturdy straps that won't flip and get contorted throughout the day! Imagine not daydreaming about going home so you can finally take your bra off!!!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I recently tried this bra, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! The fit is perfect — true to size with just the right amount of stretch to ensure comfort all day. The straps are adjustable and don't dig in, even after wearing it for hours. The fabric is soft against the skin, and the breathability is great, so I never feel overheated. The support is amazing without feeling too constrictive. It gives a natural lift and keeps everything in place without any uncomfortable digging or shifting. I also love the design; it's sleek and subtle, making it perfect to wear under a variety of outfits." — Tzippy M
Get it from Amazon for $16.94+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 14 colors)
23. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller to mop up excess oil before it has time to break down the makeup you spent SO much time applying that morning. This was one of the first beauty products to go viral on TikTok — and for good reason! It mattifies with just a few swipes and is designed not to disturb your makeup.
It's way less wasteful and easier to carry around than a pack of oil blotting sheets — just pop out the stone roller to give a quick wash before reusing!
Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
24. A felt handbag insert with several pockets and compartments that will stop your purse from becoming an endless black hole of nothingness. Just imagine reaching into your bag and finding your house key on the very first try instead of searching for five minutes and wondering if it would just be easier to move into a new place at this point.
Promising review:"My summer handbag has no dividers, so everything falls into a lump together. I was so pleased to find the smaller slender option for this organizer. It slides down into my purse with room on the sides to spare — this is exactly what I wanted since it lets me put things into the organizer and then other things outside of it on either side. I ordered the gray color and am very satisfied with the construction and fabric used." — Jay
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five sizes and 16 colors).
25. An all-over anti-chafe balm for anyone who is not actually about that hike life but still lets their super-active friends convince them to tag along. You can swipe this on your thighs, ankles, feet, neck, armpits, or anywhere else that needs some extra protection from the friction that's threatening to ruin your serene afternoon.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"This stuff really is awesome. It really works, and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). It is super easy to use; just slide it on like you'd use deodorant." — SweetPea
BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five sizes; also available in an anti-blister balm).
26. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder to quickly mop up the oils that are absolutely ruining your Sunday brunch 'do. This one has a powder-puff applicator so you can apply it directly to your roots (you know, the source of all your oily troubles), and it also adds some extra volume as you brush it through. Reviewers say it instantly absorbs oil and doesn't leave a white residue behind. It's so easy to use that you'll wonder how you ever dealt with those messy spray cans.
Promising reviews: " I'm a big fan of dry shampoo and have been through my fair share of product testing and let me tell y'all, this is the holy grail... Since it's just the powder itself rather than the can of spray filled with all that junk, you get so much more out of it, I haven't even finished my first container and it's been months. To add on to the lasting ability, it works so well I don't have to use as much or often. It takes me from messy, old, greasy hair to looking like it's freshly washed in seconds. I suggest putting it on before bed to let it settle in your sleep, but you can also do it right before walking out the door and get amazing results." — Caroline W.
"This stuff is my new holy grail. I have very fine and very oily hair. I used to wash it daily but after getting a shag haircut I moved to every other day with lots of dry shampoo in between. I will never go back to aerosol dry shampoo again. I have used Batiste for many years but the smell and residue is too much... Application is super easy (it doesn't get EVERYWHERE!) you only need a small amount, and there is no smell." — Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in six shades and refills and various pack sizes).
27. A bottle of anti-fog drops for your glasses that'll have you singing, "I can see clearly now the fog is gone!" — especially when you step outside on a 90-degree day after being in the sweet, sweet AC all day. Simply add a few drops to your lenses, let it air dry for 15–20 seconds, then wipe clean and go about your fog-free day!
Amazon
These are safe for anti-reflective lenses!
Promising review:"I've tried a few different sprays, wipes, and liquids like this during the pandemic and this is the *only* one that works. It lasts way longer and there's hardly any fog on my glasses even when it's 30 degrees outside." — Pandamonium
Optix 55 is a small business specializing in glasses care.
Get it from Amazon for $10.55.
28. A L'Oreal Infallible setting spray so your foundation and blush won't call it a day before yours has even started. This takes just three seconds to apply to your whole face (thanks to wide-spraying microfine mist) and claims to help your makeup last for up to a whopping 36 (!!!) hours. If you don't feel like parting with $32 dollars for the super viral One Size On 'Til Dawn setting spray, reviewers say this might just work even better.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising reviews:"Love this product. I always use it, and I am a sweaty person 😅 I sweat easily.. not even kidding. I compare it to the One Size and I have to say that I do like this one much better. It really doesn't budge." — Zully B
"This works just as well as the One Size. I have very oily skin and need a high-quality setting spray, and this one works amazing! Skip the expensive one and try this!!" — Shopgirl
Get it from Amazon for $10.98 (also available in a pack of two).
29. And a moisture spray from Curél for a ridiculously convenient way to freshen up your skin when your foundation is looking dry, cakey, and ready to clock out for the day. It's also a quick way to add some ceramides to your routine — you know, the things that help protect the skin's moisture barrier.
Promising review: "Since turning 45 and being pre-menopausal, I've never had dry skin in my life until now. Nothing seemed to help because I was already moisturizing my oily skin. I say this on a YouTube channel so I decided to give it a try... and OMG. It's amazing! My skin is holding moisture without overly producing oil. I use one to two times a day, depending on my skin. I've gotten so many compliments since I started using it. There's no real scent; it does take a moment to absorb, but it's totally worth it, and my skin has been glowing." — Rae
Get it from Amazon for $15.
30. A pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets that will seriously come in handy when the public restroom you're using is out of that mysterious pink sludge they call soap. Just pull out a sheet, wet it, then get to lathering. Your back will be so grateful your hand is clean and less germy while you're patting it.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around, just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap, and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me, and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — woolymammoth
Fomin is a small business specializing in cleaning products.
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three scents and various pack sizes).
31. A 10-foot lightning cable that lets you charge your iPhone and iPad from basically anywhere, because there's nothing more annoying than realizing your phone's about to die and you're nowhere near an outlet. Reviewers say the cord is super durable (no more frayed wires!) and holds up to extended use.
Amazon
Note: This a USB-A to lightning cable, so it only works with the iPhone 14 and earlier models. For USB-C devices (like the iPhone 15 and up), check out this other 10-feet charging cord by Anker here!
Promising review:"You can never go wrong with extra-long charging cables! My wife and I use these for charging our phones on our nightstands so we can use the phones in bed without over stretching shorter cables. The braided cables are nice, and the red connectors add a little pop of color. We've had other brands of cables fall apart at the connector in a short amount of time, but these seem pretty solid." — Mr. D
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors and four other sizes).
32. Kiss PowerFlex Maximum Speed Nail Glue, which will keep your press-ons and glue-ons so securely in place, you'll forget they're not actually your real nails. One application lasts for up to a week, so you can furiously type those "just circling back" e-mails with basically zero risk of ruining your at-home mani, and therefore your entire day.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the nail glue in action.
Promising review: "I've been using this on my press-ons, and when I say they last a month or longer without any popping off! I will never go back to any other brand. Easy to use, quick-drying, GREAT PRICE!! Like, how can you best that value? The size you get for the price is really unmatched. The glue removal is pretty easy. If I plan on reusing the press-ons, I'll soak them in water and soap and pop them off. If not, I'll cut and shave down the nails and soak in acetone until it dissolves the nails enough for me to use my drill." — Big Ming

33. A set of "wine wands" that help remove the sulfates and histamines in your go-to brand of merlot, pinot grigio, or even sparkling wines. It's meant to help aerate and enhance the flavor (yes, even the super cheap bottles), while also potentially alleviating side effects (like headaches, skin flush, and upset stomach) that always pop up to thwart your Sunday morning plans.

Just pop one in, stir, and let soak for three minutes before drinking.

Promising review:"What a difference these have made in my life. With my allergies, it was impossible to enjoy a glass or two of wine without nasty side effects: stuffy nose, red face, and headaches. Now, I can have a glass of wine and not have to dart to a package of antihistamines! Makes a great gift. Even thinking of splitting a box into stocking stuffers. Each wand is individually wrapped. Have purchased these several times and will continue to do so." — KellyH

Promising review: "I can never seem to keep a quarter on me. This works out great. Fits the carts perfectly and it won't be easy to break (like another one I had)." — Jill B.

35. A super absorbent Muddy Mat to stop the dirty paw prints that are about to undo the work you just spent mopping. It may look like a simple doormat, but pet owners say this one actually traps dirt and water from their pup's paws when coming back inside on rainy days. Oh, and it also works on kids/spouses/roomies/etc. who simply can't be bothered to wipe their feet off. Just take deep breaths, the Muddy Mat has you covered.

Promising review: "These mats work great. I have one out on my covered patio, and I bought one more to put in front of my front door. I have two dogs and so far even when it rains they don't track in any water or stuff from the yard — definitely would buy another one if I needed it. So far, they are easy to clean. All I do is go outside and shake it and all the stuff comes off it." — Deborah
