Not To Toot My Own Horn, But I've Just Compiled A List Of 33 Of The Best Home Products You've Seen In A While

Buzz Feed

20-03-2025

1. A bedding holder so each set can be kept together in one place instead of trying for like 20+ minutes to fold your dang fitted sheet into a neat pile when that is quite literally an impossible task. Not to mention, you won't have to rummage around your whole linen closet to find the matching pillowcases when you're getting ready for your guests to come over.
You use this by loosening the bag's drawstring and placing unfolded sheets inside with the pillowcases loaded on top. Select the current sheet size from the indicator strap (T for Twin, F for Full, Q for Queen, and K for King), then close the bag and store it on a shelf in your closet. Each small bag can hold up to one full set of king-size sheets, pillowcases included. The medium and large bags can hold more inside, like blankets, pillow toppers, and lightweight comforters.
Bumble Made is a small business that created the O-Sheet bedding holder for sheets, pillowcases, and other linens. It is based in Washington State.
Promising review:"This is literally one of the best products I've ever purchased. It keeps my sheets so organized, it's good quality, and it makes my life so much easier. I will definitely be buying more for the larger blankets and spare room sheets! Thank you!" — Jennifer Briney
Get it from Bumble Made on Etsy for $18.75+ (originally $25; available in two sizes and five colors).
2. A metal kick plate that'll transform your front door into its ~bougiest~ self and make it seem extra fancy. Plus it'll help prevent shoe prints and scuffs from becoming the focal point.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. There is a layer of protective plastic film over the metal to keep it from getting scratched or damaged. It comes with matching screws. I pre-drilled the holes to make the installation easier. Easy upgrade project that can make your door more beautiful or is great for hiding damage." — kmr
Get it from Amazon for $45.06.
3. An indoor insect trap because all those little bugs flying around the produce on your counter have gotten out of hand. I mean, seriously, how can something that small be that annoying?!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Last fall, I experienced a problem with gnats when I brought my house plants inside. I tried sticky stakes and placing vinegar and water on a plate to get rid of them. However, the gnats kept on coming back. I used the Katchy Indoor Insect Trap for four consecutive nights, and it completely eliminated the gnats. A bit pricey, but this product worked very well for me." — David C.
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two colors).
4. A set of stackable drawers so you can optimize the space in your closet where the shelves are just comically too far apart, and if you tried to stack your shirts up that high, you'd inevitably have a catastrophe on your hands when you tried to pick out your outfit.
Amazon
Promising review:"I like how you can easily put this together in less than three seconds. You can stack the crates for more storage in your closet. They pull out like a drawer, which is super convenient. Great quality and size. I was able to fit a bunch of leggings, shorts, pants, etc. in just one bin." — Samantha
Get a set of five from Amazon for $39.99.
5. An outdoor beverage cart adorned with all kinds of bells and whistles so you're ready to be the ultimate BBQ host of the neighborhood.
Amazon
While I haven't had the chance to ~officially~ take this bad boy for a test run, I do currently have it on my patio and I'm excited for the weather to warm up so I can actually use it. Not only does it have a huge cooler section with a multi-position divider, but it also has (stay with me here) a built-in bottle opener, two fold out shelves on either side, wheels, a fold down shelf on the lid for glasses, a drainage tap, and a storage shelf on the bottom. Like this is literally a host's dream.
Promising review: "Awesome for your back patio! Lots of space for different beverages and super expandable if need be. Looks and feels like it will last forever. Well built. We will definitely be entertaining with this hot item!" — t & k
Get it from Amazon for $309.70.
6. Some washable dining chair slipcovers if you're sick of staring at your boring (or worse, outdated) chairs, but aren't willing to completely start over just for a new aesthetic. These will transform them into any style for less than the price of one new chair.
Promising review:"These arrived yesterday and were so easy for me to put on. Only took about 10 minutes for six chairs, from nasty white chairs to a nice gray and white cover. I LOVE THESE SO MUCH THAT I WILL BUY MORE TO CHANGE OUT MY COLORS FOR CHRISTMAS TIME AND ALL HOLIDAYS. Well worth the price we paid. I'm in love with my new chairs now. IT WAS MY HUSBAND'S IDEA FOR ME TO BUY MORE. ❤️" — lisa browning
Get four from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in 37 patterns and six-packs).
7. A Litter-Robot that senses when your kitty has left the box before rotating and disposing of what they've left behind. Not only does this save you from having to manually clean your litter box, but it also helps reduce odors!
You will still have to remove the waste from the drawer a couple of times a week depending on how many cats you have.
I recently went from owning two cats to three, and it seems to quadruple the amount they go to the bathroom?? Like I'm sure I'm exaggerating, but I feel like I have to clean their boxes constantly. (And that's even after I already added an additional box!) Enter this magical robot. It has all kinds of sensor technology to know when a kitty is in the box, when the litter level is too low, when the waste drawer is full, and more. Basically, it senses the cat and sets a timer, after the cat is gone it starts a countdown before the cleaning process starts. You can adjust the length of the countdown depending on if you want to reduce odors or if you'd rather run it less frequently. When the time is up, it starts rotating and all the clean litter gets sifted out and the dirty clumps of litter continue rotating until being dispensed in a little hole into the waste drawer underneath. Then it rotates the opposite way, refilling the bottom with the litter so it is clean and ready for the next kitty's use. I haven't had it too long, and my two older cats are still a little hesitant, but my youngest has been using it and doesn't seem to mind it at all. This is seriously a game-changer. Highly recommend if you're sick of cleaning out stinky boxes constantly.
Get it from Litter-Robot for $699 (available in two main colors and eight front cover colors).
8. Some fridge bin liners designed to absorb extra moisture that could be making your produce expire faster *AND* catch those gross spills so you don't have to figure out how to clean the awkward back corner of the drawer that none of your brushes can really fit into.
Amazon
Promising review:"Keeps my refrigerator looking clean and fresh. Especially like the gray pattern which goes nicely with a stainless steel refrigerator. When something spills, It's much easier to wash these pads than scrub your refrigerator. The pads don't last forever but they can be washed three or four times before I recycle them into cleaning rags." — CardFan133
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three patterns and a six-pack).
9. A pet-resistant screen because if there's one thing I know about pets it's that they have ~sharp~ claws and they specifically love to stick them through screens. This is made of tough polyester yarn and is designed to not be easily damaged by them, even if they happen to be real monsters that decide the screen door would be a fun climbing challenge.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have cats who like to hang on my screens, and this stuff has held up now for almost two months without even one spot that has ripped. It is a little darker than my old screen, but once it was in window, you can hardly tell difference. Regret not getting this years ago." — jen k
Get a 36"x84" screen from Amazon for $17.14.
10. A duster sponge designed to cling to dust, pet hair, debris, etc., far more efficiently than just rubbing a paper towel across the surface. After your cleaning sesh, just rinse it with water and it'll be ready to tackle the next job.
Check out the duster sponge on TikTok.
In order for this to work, you have to soak it in water to soften it up before using it.
Promising review: "I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!" — Bryn
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three pack sizes and six color combinations).
11. A fast-acting, plant-based Keurig machine cleaning kit because in case you didn't know, you actually should clean out the inside of the machine...five month old coffee stuck inside the tubing definitely doesn't enhance the flavor of your morning cup of Joe (but I can pretty much guarantee it is changing the taste).
www.amazon.com
New England Stories is a small business established in 1987 that specializes in plant-based cleaning products.
Promising review: "I've had my coffee machine for a year now, and I have never washed it. I didn't know what these products were! The solution is odorless, which is super nice! Works very well with Keurig machines and is user-friendly. It takes about five minutes to complete the cleaning process from start to finish, which is very speedy. A great value, you get four uses out of this product!" — Matteo's Mom
Get a two-use pack from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in several quantities and a cleaning version).
12. A pillow-shaking alarm clock designed to gently vibrate under your pillow for anyone who tends to sleep through their alarm or is simply uninterested in waking up every morning to an ~alarming~ BEEP. However, if you do like a *loud* alarm, there's a feature called "sonic" alarm that is bound to wake even the deepest of sleepers up.
Sonic Alert is a small business that specializes in alarm clocks.
The "sonic" alarm is also great for people who are hard of hearing!
Promising review: "This alarm is amazing. The pillow shaker does its job to perfection. The shaker shakes the pillow just right so you don't wake up startled. The loud alarm is loud enough. I wear a hearing aid to hear everything, and the loud alarm is loud enough that I can hear it without my hearing aid. Must-have for someone with hearing issues so you wake up on time every time." — Scott D.
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in six colors).
13. A set of safe-locking magnetic duvet pins so your duvet doesn't get all lumpy shoved up into one corner, leaving your partner to freeze with just the cover. Just attach your duvet to the cover, and this'll lock in place, and when you need to get it undone, you just use the magnetic key to open it right up.
Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the duvet clips in action.
Pinion Pins is a small business trying to solve one of the more annoying bedtime struggles.
Promising review:"I was super worried about if I would have enough of the Pinions, and I totally do! My duvet is kinda thick, and the pinions pierced through with no problems! Plus, with a little extra room if I had some extra layers. I REALLY like how you have to have the magnet tool to pull them apart. Other duvet tools I've seen just plain suck. The clips are never reliable, and the ties just don't stay. This handy dandy tool ENSURES nothing will move. I placed one on each corner of the duvet, and then I put one on the middle edge between each corner. Absolutely no moving! Don't walk, RUN TO BUY THIS. I also like how unnoticeable they are." — Abigayle Mishler
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in a 16-pack).
14. A genius guacamole saver that can hold up to four cups worth and *actually* keep it fresh after a day. Be honest: There's nothing worse than craving some delicious guac only to open your fridge and see a brown pile of mush. This will suck out all the air and keep it nice and green for days, so you don't have to decide between wasting the goodness or eating wayyyy more than you planned just cause you don't wanna throw it out.
Promising review:" I cannot believe this works so well! I'm a huge guac-on-toast person, but how unappealing is brown guacamole? Received this on Saturday, made a batch on Sunday, and it was still beautifully green and tasty six days later! My standard batch perfectly fits six medium avocados, plus the fixings. Happy girl here!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two colors).
15. A ball cap organizer so you can keep them all together in one place instead of having them spread out all over the place, taking up entire shelves in your closet. IDK how something so small can take up so much space, but TG this solution keeps them all much more compact and organized.
Promising review:"I don't know about you, but my husband leaves his hats EVERYWHERE. Literally everywhere. I ordered this just to see what he thought. He not only thought it was cool, but IT ACTUALLY WORKS! No more hats everywhere!!! It was super easy to install. Aesthetically, it actually looks good too! He keeps about 15 hats on it and it still feels stable! BUY IT!" — Lori
Get it from Amazon for $21.24+ (available in two colors and in packs of two).
16. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum, which will completely eliminate the need for a dustpan. Honestly, good riddance, those things never work anyway…you always have to reposition them a million times. This vacuum will change the way you clean by sucking up all the dirt and dust you've collected.
An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove it and dump the debris in the trash.
EyeVac is a small biz that specializes in stationary vacuums to make home cleaning easier.
Promising review:"Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile, which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." — AC
Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors).
17. A hanging sunglasses organizer because your collection is precious, and you can't risk having them all laying out on their own with any potential of them getting squashed. Now you can see them all together to appropriately pick out the best match for today's 'fit.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I needed something to organize all of my sunglasses with and something that I could easily see the sunglasses. This was a great solution. It's lightweight but yet the material does not fold in. It hangs very easily in the closet. I keep them hanging behind our closet door where I can easily see them when I need them!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in eight colors, two sizes, and with or without the transparent "window").
18. A pack of Gorilla Grip rug grippers to help you never trip over the same rolled-up corner of the carpet in your living room. Plus, it'll help keep free-standing rugs in place so you don't find your kitchen rug 10 feet away from where it's supposed to go.
Amazon
Promising review: "These rug grippers are EXCELLENT!!! We recently bought two new rugs for our kitchen and needed something to keep them from sliding. These work great!! So easy to apply. We flipped our rug over. The grippers are marked; one side says rug and the other says floor. So we placed two in each corner. On our larger rug, we placed one in the middle of each side. We stuck them to the rug. Flipped it back over. Got it positioned where we wanted it. Started with a corner and just went along, sticking them to the floor, making sure there were no bumps in the rug. Then, we walked over each gripper to press it down to the floor. I promise you these rugs are not going anywhere! Great idea!" — Stacey A Morriset
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four quantities).
19. A battery organizer so you'll know exactly where the AAAs are to put into your remote when it's dead and The Bachelor is about to start!! Plus, you'll be able to see which types you're almost out of, so you don't realize they're all gone when you already need them. Annnnddd!! It has a battery tester so you can see if they're all dead or if you just had a bad one.
Promising review:"Nice gift, especially for families with kiddos. And get one for you, too. We have one loaded in the basement with our emergency preparedness stash and one in the den where our electronics primarily live. So nice to have one central place to get what you need!" — debbie sharon
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two other sizes).
20. A toilet paper dispenser that can fit in some of the smallest places between your toilet in the wall to give you a place to store your extra toilet paper and whatever decor or beauty products you want on top.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
The white-lidded dispenser holds roughly 8–12 rolls of standard toilet paper. While you can also load it up with jumbo rolls, reviewers say they are harder to get out of the access point on the side, so you'll have to open the lid when you need a new one.
Promising review:"This dispenser is even better looking in person. I live in a small place and have limited storage options. Honestly, even if I had all the storage in the world, I would still want one. Until now, I kept the extra toilet paper under my bed. Pretty inconvenient when you realize you need another roll mid-business. Note that the hole in the side is good for standard-sized rolls of toilet paper, but it probably will not fit the larger ones. This is perfectly OK since the lid on the top is super light and easy to open if you need to reach inside for a roll. I am very happy with this purchase." — LisaP.
Get it from Amazon for $56.
21. A quick-drying mesh bath toy storage bag perfect for anyone with small kids. This bag does it all — scoops the toys out of the bath, stores them until the next time, and makes sure they don't continue to sit in water and end up moldy. No more slipping on rubber duckies when you try to take your shower!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "We've had this for about three months, and the suction is great; we haven't had it fall, even with kids who tug and yank on it to get their toys out. It also makes bath time cleanup so much easier, and I love how it air dries the toys without much work on my part." — Molly
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
22. A yard tool organizer to carefully hold your brooms, shovels, and other tools so you don't have to rest them against the wall and pray you don't bump any knocking them all over.
Hang This Up Shop / Etsy
Hang This Up Shop is a New Jersey-based Etsy Shop that creates handmade organization and storage solutions.
Promising reviews: "I bought two sets and hung them in my finished garage. They lined up very nicely, my tools are perfectly out of the way, and look very organized." — Mark
"This is my second purchase from this shop. Shipping was, once again, very fast. Brackets have been consistently well made and of high quality!" — lab777
Get it from Hang This Up Shop on Etsy for $54.50+ (available in two sizes).
23. Game board storage cases perfect for any game fanatics who are running out of room for their ever-growing collections or people who like to dabble in Monopoly and Scrabble but want their assortment to be a little more ~cohesive~ and ~aesthetic.~ Plus, now you can take some on the go, so you're never bored, no matter where you are.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "We loved these containers and have now bought 20 to hold our entire game closet! We have been able to fit several games in some. Easy to store and easy for my kids to find and put away when finished. Good quality, haven't had any problems with durability yet, and we play a LOT of games." — bradfieldfamily
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $48.99 (also available in a pack of six thick cases).
24. A cat tower that might be the prettiest one I've ever seen, which is great because you obviously want your cats to be happy, but you also don't want to sacrifice your decor to buy them one of those bulky, dingy versions.
Promising review: "I put this cat tree right in my front window and it looks so aesthetically pleasing. It looks like it belongs with the rest of my furniture and decor rather than sticking out. My cats absolutely love it. They sleep in it and scratch it all the time. We've had ours for about six months now, it's held up very well. I also really love that you can take out the cushions to clean them — it made life much easier during hairball season. Definitely was hesitant to drop a couple of hundred bucks on a cat tree, but it's super sturdy and high quality compared to anything else I've seen of similar size, and I just think it's SO much prettier. And, I worked in an animal shelter with a retail store, so I'm pretty familiar with cat trees! I'm happy, they're happy, 10/10 would recommend!" — Ana
Get it from Mau for $319 (available in two colors).
25. Velvet slipcovers designed to give your living room the facelift you've been wanting by making it seem like you bought a whole new couch. And you don't have to shell out a small fortune to have yours reupholstered.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Each set comes with a cover for the base and individual ones for each cushion (that number depends on which size you choose).
Promising review:"I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." — Brian/Liz
Get it from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in five sizes and 15 colors).
26. A shoe cabinet that is the perfect solution for those awkwardly narrow hallways that don't fit full-size furniture. Now all your shoes can have a neat (and out of sight) place to live that isn't just scattered around the floor.
Ikea
The shoe holder frees up floor space and keeps shoes ventilated so you don't have to worry about your foot stank spreading throughout your house. At a minimum, it holds eight pairs of sneakers, slip-ons, or sandals.
Promising review:"I needed something that was narrow enough to fit in the my entryway to hold all my shoes instead of jammed in the closet where I couldn't see them. I love this cabinet as it doesn't take up much space in the entryway, it provides a place for a lot of my shoes, and it has a narrow top that can hold items but is small enough not to encourage gathering too much stuff. It's highly functional and looks great in small spaces." — Minimalist
Get it from Ikea for $179.99.
27. A set of peel-and-stick floor tiles to completely refresh your floor without the hassle of ripping it all out. This is also a great option for renters who aren't allowed to do any reconstruction but cannot go one more day staring at the dingy tiles on the bathroom floor.
Each tile is 12x12 inches.
Promising review:"These are so easy to install! We sold our house and moved into a mobile home on our land while we build a house. We wanted to do a little updating but we don't want to spend a lot. We decided to use self adhesive flooring and I fell in love with these! The pattern and color were perfect for my bathroom theme! Installation was easy and quick. They stick great and it's been a few weeks and we've had no issues. I love the texture and they're so easy to clean! Definitely recommend!" — Heather Wine
Get a set of 10 tiles from Amazon for $15.74+ (available in two colors).
28. A ceiling-mounted garage storage rack that'll take advantage of all that wasted vertical space and to finally store the bins of Christmas ornaments you nearly hit every time you pull into your garage.
Securely attach the brackets to studs/ceiling joists and the shelving unit can hold up to 600 pounds of stuff. The elevation also ensures everything is safe in the event of a flood.
Promising review:"I've recently installed this 4x8-foot overhead storage unit by Fleximounts, and I love it! I placed mine just over my oil storage tank, which was pretty much all wasted space. I found that some of my ceiling joists were not 24 inches on center, but I was able to install the unit anyway. This unit is sturdy, easy to install, and it instantly maximizes previously unused space. The range of adjustment allows this unit to be quite functional at varying ceiling heights and storage needs. Accessing this storage space is far easier, and faster, than climbing up my pull-down stair case and trying to maneuver around my unsafe garage attic space. I also like that I can hang things like extension cords and drop lights below the unit, further maximizing the space that was previously unused. I can see one or two more of these in my future for sure. If you're constantly shuffling things around your garage and always trying to find space, buy this overhead storage unit today!" — Mark Jenkins
Get it from Amazon for $137.99+ (available in one or two packs and three colors).
29. A set of five moving bags so you can ditch stockpiling boxes (or worse, having to actually buy them). Since these are clear, it's much easier to keep track of what goes where, and they are wayyy easier to carry with the reinforced handles.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
These can safely hold up to 50 lbs and is 25.6" L X 25.6" H X 8.7" D with a 25-gallon volume. They're water-resistant and easy to fold for storage when you aren't using them. These are also a great option for storing seasonal decorations and supplies.
Promising review: "I love the product the strength of it it seems quite tough and the way it looks. It won't puncture very easily when I put my wreaths inside, but not only does it hold wreaths it also is pretty good with canvas. I used some canvases in it along with some paint and sip party supplies and it just worked. It's an excellent resource. I will be making this purchase again." — Renee Copher
Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in other sizes, shapes, and quantities).
30. A touchless kitchen faucet to put an end to having to use your icky fingers to turn the sink on. Just wave your hand and the water will start flowinggg. And don't worry; it has an auto shutoff after three minutes in case you have any kids or pets who manage to turn it on and just leave it running.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "We can't say enough about this. It looks incredible. It has great water flow and reach. And if that weren't enough, the touchless function is a real game changer for busy, multitasking cooks." — Chris
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in five finishes).
32. A pack of stacking shoe organizers that'll double up your shoe storage, which means you can keep adding sneakers and heels to your collection!!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Each organizer is adjustable to accommodate any type of shoe height. It also has an anti-slip surface so shoes stay put even at an angle.
Promising review:"I love these! Love, love, love them! I am so happy to be able to SEE MY SHOES!! They had been hiding in the bottom of a closet or under the bed or piled on top of each other for years. Now I can see every pair! And I have BIG feet! 10.5 Wide. And I have HIGH heels! Some are 3.5 inches high. And while you kinda have to finagle the larger, taller shoes a bit, they DO FIT. When the heels get that tall though, they have a tendency to slip, so I just turned them toward the wall. Works great!" — DVA7118
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $21.59 (available in three quantities and three colors).
33. Some under-bed storage containers so you can utilize that seemingly useless space to hold anything from out-of-season clothes to extra linens.
www.amazon.com
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in four colors and four-packs).
