I'm warning you now — many of these have some *gasp-worthy* before and after pics.
1. Retinol body lotion to enhance your already beautiful skin. It's overflowing with powerful ingredients like vitamins A and E, ferulic acid, shea butter, and green tea to help diminish the look of deep wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, crepey skin, and even sun damage — all while giving your collagen production a *major* boost to help with firming.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I had to take some time out of my day to sit down and tell you about this lotion because, holy moly. I have NEVER gone through a full bottle of lotion before. But this stuff??? Magic in a freaking bottle! I have been using this over the course of two years and I'm absolutely in love. It keeps my skin truly moisturized and doesn't leave an oily residue like most lotions. It really absorbs into my skin. I originally got this to help with my stretch marks from carrying my son but one day I used it as a face moisturizer because I was out of my face cream and I have been using only this since then. It doesn't dry my face out, it doesn't clog my pores, it doesn't make my face ungodly greasy. This stuff is literally a game changer for my skin!" — Chrystal W.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in seven styles and multipacks).
2. And a gentle LilyAna Naturals retinol cream that this reviewer (an esthetician of over 13 years) has deemed "The BEST hidden gem!!" This magical cream supports natural collagen production, combats uneven skin tone, and smooths rough texture. How, may you ask? It comes jam-packed with all the goods, including botanical hyaluronic acid, shea butter, organic green tea, organic jojoba oil, and vitamins A and E.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
LilyAna Naturals is a small business!
Promising review:"The older I get, the drier my skin seems to get. I read about this brand from a blog I follow. So, I checked the reviews and decided to try it. To say that I am blown away would be an understatement! I simply cannot express how pleased I am after literally just three uses. Normally, my skin is so dry that nothing seems to help, but this. THIS! It makes my skin feel great, and it even looks great! It's not greasy, but it moisturizes. The texture feels like whipped velvet!! It is so luxurious and feels amazing on my skin. My skin feels hydrated and normal. I feel like shouting from the rooftops how amazing this stuff is! The eye cream is just as good, and a little goes a very long way. I am sold! This product is superior!!" — Shanon L. Edwards
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes).
3. A bottle of TikTok-famous Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence, which works so effectively it's got some reviewers wondering what kind of witchcraft is in it. This mystical essence will soothe and rejuvenate your skin so quickly that it'll make you think the exact opposite of "ew" when you think of snail mucin. It can also give your skin a natural "I woke up like this" glow that has earned it over 57,000 5-star ratings!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

And tell Gary not to worry! The snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed!
I've personally been using this for months now, and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving. I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after seeing how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying, "gimme gimme gimme!!"
Promising review: " Skincare game changer. I started using this two years ago, and this product has transformed my skin completely! I have dull, dry skin and this helps hydrate and makes my complexion look healthy and hydrated. I use this under my moisturizer day and night." — Nhi Luu
Get it from Amazon for $20.
4. A set of antimicrobial toothbrushes that have thin "floss" bristles, which help naturally eliminate the buildup and debris that tend to linger on other toothbrushes. The tip of each flossing bristle is as thick as a single human hair and is formulated with nano-silver, which may help kill off microbes left on the bristles. And if you have sensitive teeth, no worries — reviewers say these bristles are super soft.
Mouthwatchers is a small biz that sells antimicrobial toothbrushes, which are also available in bundle sets and travel-sized options!
Promising review:"Like most people, I've tried any number of toothbrushes (electric and manual) and can't say I've ever experienced an appreciable or memorable difference. Until this one. This one's approach to gum care got my attention. And they deliver. I can't remember the last time my mouth felt so clean without any torture involved. Highly recommend." — Emma Hunter
Get two from Amazon for $9.99.
5. And a set of teeth-whitening pens — you'll see the difference almost immediately. It's painless, minty fresh, and helps whiten your teeth after years of drinking coffee, tea, wine, and basically anything that isn't water. 🙃
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I was looking for a new whitening product since I've used others in the past that didn't work that well. I am so happy that I found this one! It really works and in a short amount of time as well. Even just using it for a week, I notice a pretty big difference. My teeth had staining from age and coffee, and I needed something immediately but didn't want to spend a lot of money. The applicator is very, very easy to use as well. All you do is paint it on and let it do its magic! Definitely buy this you'll love it!" — Courtney Mazzola
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.
6. A pet hair remover, which picks up all your dog's (and your!) hair — zero struggle! It's a fan fave and requires no adhesives, sticky tape, or batteries to clean up after your furry family member. Seriously, this deserves ALL the rounds of appaws.
Promising review:"Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired, 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." — DH

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors).
7. And an under-eye brightener to help balance out the bluish tones of under-eye shadows and dark circles. And bonus! It's infused with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish your skin and give you a radiant glow. Wear it by itself or under your concealer for a more full-coverage look!
www.amazon.com
The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades).
8. And a The Saem hydrating eye stick that has a cooling formula to help de-puff the area around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles so no one at the office starts asking you why you look like a Tim Burton character.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.
Promising review: "Within 10 minutes, my under-eye bags and discoloration were considerably better. I didn't think this would work, but I just screamed at my boyfriend, 'I'm screwed because I'm going to need to never run out of this stuff.' Such a difference. I'm highly satisfied and upset I didn't purchase more to give as a holiday present. There's always next year, though!" — Heather
Get it from Amazon for $9.65 (also available as a collagen stick, a peptide stick, and in multipacks).
9. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to effortlessly deep clean and deodorize your garbage disposal and pipes that have probably gone a little too long without your attention. 😬 It removes hidden bacteria, leaves a lemon-fresh scent, and can even help extend the life of your disposal!
Amazon
Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica House
Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.56 (available in three quantities).
10. A callus-removal gel because it only takes one "before and after" pic to prove that it works wonders on those rough, dry areas that can develop on your feet. Just apply the gel and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then follow up with a foot scrubber. This is the *perfect* addition to your next self-care day.
www.amazon.com
If you're looking for recs for a good foot file, we adore this one that you can get from Amazon for $9.99!
Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles).
11. And a popular exfoliant foot peel — you apply the two bootie-shaped masks on your feet for an hour, wash your feet, and then, over the next five to seven days, enjoy the disgustingly satisfying experience of watching all of your dead skin fall away to reveal baby-soft feet. Reviewers swear by this for calluses and rough, cracked skin!
Promising review:"I'll be honest, it took myself four months to talk myself into using these after TikTok convinced me to buy them. The results were amazing and all of my dead skin is gone! On day six after a shower, I gave my feet a little extra scrubbing and they are softer than they have been after any $100 pedicure." — Asha
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and four scents).
12. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator because although your love for your pup is permanent, the odors left on your carpet *shouldn't* be. This miraculous spray has enzymes that lift that stink right off, leaving a lovely citrus scent. No wonder it's earned over 80,000 5-star ratings, with some reviewers claiming it even helped them remove the stain itself!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product is a miracle worker. My toddler had been having accidents on the sofa. I had been scrubbing tirelessly almost every week to get the urine smell out. I tried the baking soda, water, etc., but nothing worked! I was self-conscious about family visiting. Until I came across this product. When I tell you the URINE SMELL IS GONE, it's gone! This product is a must-have. Buy now." — Amazonian
Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).
13. A carpet cleaner to once and for all make that huge spaghetti stain in the middle of your living room carpet ~disappear~. Just spritz some on the stain, wait a few seconds, and blot it up. It's like magic!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It's a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it's like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I've become that weird lady that goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." — L. Logan
Get it from Amazon for $6.65 (also available in multipacks).
14. Essence's Lash Princess mascara because it'll effortlessly lengthen your lashes up to the skies. It gives you allll the volume WITHOUT the clumps and globs and has shocked reviewers with how full it leaves their lashes looking compared to other, more expensive brands. It's a fan fave for a reason!
Check out the Lash Princess mascara on TikTok!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say:"Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of over 100,000 positive reviews and now I will never look back!! It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time."
Promising review: "Mascaras always make the same claim...but my short, straight lashes have never looked thicker or longer! And I don't have to bother with false lashes. Seriously, this mascara is a game changer." — CoCust
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two sizes and in black and brown).
15. An antioxidant-rich Hanalei overnight lip treatment — a magical mix with Hawaiian kukui nut oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids *and* vitamins A, C, and E to relieve dryness and restore the hydration your parched lippies deserve. It's also got agave and grapeseed oils to help keep your lips soothed and protected!
Promising review: "This product is so nourishing and works wonders when your lips are super dry or chapped. My lips get extremely dry and cracked even when I use ChapStick several times a day. It is thicker than a ChapStick but not heavy to the point of discomfort. It sits on your lips longer and has more time to soak in. It feels amazing on your lips. It's also a cute thing to wear on its own if you don't feel like wearing lipstick. It's also nice to have different shade options, even though the clear one is my favorite. I also love that the scent is very minimal. It has a VERY slight vanilla smell that you barely notice once applied. I have repurchased this product several times and will continue to do so!!" — Julia
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two sizes and six colors).
16. The Pink Stuff, a tub of magical cleaning paste that is bound to earn its own labeled space in your bathroom cabinet. Seriously. The way it effortlessly removes stains, grease, and grime and leaves just about any surface shiny and scratch free should be considered witchcraft.
Promising review:"When I bought my house in 2017, the upstairs bathroom had a shower that was nasty. I thought, 'No problem,' because I'll just use elbow grease and clean it up. I scrubbed and scrubbed and scraped and used everything under the sun. NOTHING worked!!! UNTIL...The Pink Stuff. This stuff has done what no other cleaning product, no amount of elbow grease, no amount of cursing, no amount of anything else has ever done. I'm relatively convinced it's made with tears of the gods or just some magic that I wish I discovered years ago. My tub looks brand-new!!!" — MNee
Get it from Amazon for $5.49.
17. A Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream because it has such a SCRUMPTIOUS scent, it might just make you ditch your perfume altogether. Enriched with caffeine, guarana extract, and coconut oil, this miraculous little jar of cream will help tighten *and* smooth your skin like nobody's business.
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "This stuff is magic. I've tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I've tried. I love the scent. Sol de Janeiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." — Stephanie
"Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day. The description of the scent as 'pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla' does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet, and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life. Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed by this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." — Michelle Brown
Get a 2.5-ounce jar from Amazon for $24 (also available in two bigger sizes).
And if (when) you do fall in love with the scent, they make tons of other products, including a fragrance!
18. A miraculous veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades that slice and chop your fruits and veggies for you. It cuts down your food prep time by a LOT, making it a huge relief for when you have guests coming over and you didn't know making stir fry could take that long.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in five styles and four colors).
19. A cleansing oil to magically eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while preventing pore congestion — perfect to incorporate into a double cleansing routine! It's also hypoallergenic and works wonders for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
If you're looking for a water-based cleanser to go with this one, reviewers love this pore-deep cleansing foam from the same brand for their double-cleansing routine!
Promising review:"I don't usually leave reviews, but this product is the best cleansing oil EVER!!!!! It worked flawlessly after the first try, and I could actually see the results immediately!! My gosh, it's lightweight and smells relaxing. Massage it to your skin for 5–10 minutes, and you can see the magic. I will definitely add this to my skincare routine. JUST GET IT!!!!!" — Vince
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
20. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo infused with tea tree, jojoba, and argan oils to help with hair loss and prevent dandruff.
www.amazon.com
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I [don't love] the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95.
21. A hard-working toilet pumice stone that's here to save the day when it comes to deep cleaning those *extra* stubborn toilet rings, which are the bane of your existence. Just wet the stone, gently scrub, and watch as those tough stains disappear!
Promising review: " This is an absolute game changer. There was a blackish stain on the bottom of the inside of a toilet in my house from before we even bought the place, and this demolished it in less than five minutes of work. I'm absolutely astounded. I immediately took it to all the rest of the toilets in the house because now that I know how clean ours can look, I never want to go back!" — Dana
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in multipacks).
22. A set of acne patches to evict those pesky pimples that have no business invading your face. These are coated with hydrocolloid to protect and heal the blemish more effectively — you officially have no excuses for popping those pimples anymore! No picking or pinching needed. Oh, and they have over 111,000 5-star reviews!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Here's what BuzzFeed editor Samantha Wieder says about it:"I suffer from hormonal acne — it's just something that I have come to terms with and will have to deal with for many more years to come, and while it's not fun, these acne patches make it sooo much easier. When I have a pimple about to come to a head, I pop one of these babies on it before bed and then peel it off along with all the gunk it pulls out. It definitely helps speed up the process, and they're gentle on my sensitive skin!"
Promising review:"These patches are the only reliable way to shrink an existing pimple. I always get pimples that swell up but won't come to a head. I've tried all the lotions, creams, salves, hot compresses, etc. Nothing worked on existing pimples. But these patches take the swelling right down. For really bad ones, it sometimes takes a couple of days of wearing the patches, but it will go away (much faster than the one to two weeks it always takes if I just do nothing). Plus, the patch keeps you from touching or picking at it.' — snowmentality
Get 72 stickers from Amazon for $21.97 (also available in a pack of 36).
23. Or a Tree of Life face serum set — this triple threat of retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid serum will help brighten, firm, *and* hydrate your skin for maximum radiance. Plus, it smells like green tea!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
For morning use, apply the vitamin C serum. For evening use, apply the retinol serum. Always finish off with the hyaluronic acid serum and moisturizer. And don't forget to wear your sunscreen (retinol increases sun sensitivity)!
Promising Review:"Wow. I'm almost out of the first three bottles I bought, so let me just say that even if you only do your morning routine (because you keep falling asleep before your night routine...), you will still see a major difference!! I swear it took less than two weeks for my skin to clear up. I look like I have glass skin!! I wash my face then use the serums (vitamin C then hyaluronic) then spray on rose water toner, use my CeraVe eye cream, then CeraVe moisturizer." — Bri
Get a set of three from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in other sets).
24. A highly rated portable car vacuum because the last road trip your group spent eating in the car wasn't the first, and it certainly won't be the last. This easily sucks away all those crumbs and makes it look like nothing ever happened. It's also compact enough to keep it in your car at all times (you know, just in case)!
www.amazon.com
The kit includes three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), a carry bag, a filter brush, and a spare HEPA filter.
Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez
Get it from Amazon for $33+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord).
25. A waterless Batiste dry shampoo *foam* if you just DON'T have time (or energy) for an "everything" shower. This lets you cancel out the grease and add some volume back to your locks without worrying about having to shake out the residue of your usual powder or spray dry shampoos.
Amazon
Promising review:"I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It's wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, with no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can't go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." — Amelia Tilton
Get it from Amazon for $8.88.
26. A K-beauty Elizabeth Mott eye primer because it'll make the eyeshadow look you created 10 hours ago look like it's only been 10 minutes. It helps keep your eyeshadow from wearing off, smudging, or creasing, and enhances your eyeshadow's color and vibrance!
Promising review:"So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high end to low...they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. Using this primer, shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I was lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" — Melissa Mae
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
27. A Seoul Ceuticals Snail Repair Cream with organic green tea and vitamins that brighten dull skin and help fade discoloration. And, thanks to its high concentration of snail mucin extract, your complexion will look plumped and ✨glowy✨.
www.amazon.com
This snail cream is cruelty-free and non-comedogenic. (So, no need to worry about clogged pores!)
Promising review: "Just placed my second order. I love everything about this product. The smell is a light citrus smell, and it's super hydrating. I've been using it for about a month now and I see considerable difference with my wrinkles and overall appearance of my face 10/10 highly recommended and reasonably priced." — home_made_honey
Get it from Amazon for $20.
28. A super handy luggage scale — once you have it, you'll never travel without it. Especially if you're going on a longer trip, and you know your luggage will be much heavier on the way back! This lets you know how much it weighs so that you don't have to worry about awkwardly stopping in the middle of a busy airport to re-distribute weight. Plus, reviewers rave about how accurate it is!
Promising reviews: "I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who travels, especially internationally, because of all the extra costs for going over in weight. We were among the few people in line who didn't need to rearrange our luggage at the airport to meet the weight requirements in Milan. So easy to pack and take with you." — Addison
"This little device was well worth the money spent. It saved us a lot of money on our flight home since we knew the weight was over and could pre-purchase the overage in the app instead of paying double at the airport. I'll never travel without it!! Very easy to use." — Michael Ellis
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four colors and also as a two-pack).
30. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes to help stop hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating from ruining a good day. Give your pits a swipe of this before bed, wash in the morning, and enjoy going about your activities free of sweat (and sweat stains!).
Amazon
Apply it every seven days! This is STRONG, so if you have sensitive skin, the manufacturer suggests you do a spot test first.
Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat. I was sweating through my shirt on my back — BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two bigger multipacks).
31. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets you'll appreciate because they power away the limescale and mineral buildup you can't see in your dishwasher, so you can restore it to its squeaky-clean state and have one less thing on your plate. (Get it?)
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I discovered these tabs from using one of their other products to clean a different machine. They are really packaged well, and every pack comes with a note from the company. Drop a tab in the detergent cup, run a wash cycle, and when done, open the door and let air dry. Really easy to use. My dishwasher is 20 years old, and regular cleaning from one of these knocks out some of the yuck. I'm a fan of these tabs! A++." — Bryan W. Steffy
Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $18.94 (also available as a 48-pack).

Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried multiple spray cleaners and techniques but couldn't get the smell out. I was convinced I'd need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I'd have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I'm excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" — Brittany

Promising review:"I love this product so much. As a dog mom of two beagles one who was prone to ear infections more than the other this was a lifesaver. It has save me so many trips to the vet and cleared up his ear infections quickly! I Couldn't ask for a better product! I like that it's a little thicker so it coats the inside his ears well and covers all the area inside his ear. I recommend this to every dog parent I know Especially the ones that have dogs that have the longer ears are more prone to ear infections! This stuff is a miracle worker!" — Amazon Customer

35. A beloved nourishing cream to assist fragile nails and help them avoid splitting, chipping, peeling, and cracking. They'll be stronger in no time — and they'll smell like coconuts.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My natural nails are horrible! They are and thin and brittle, and have a tendency to split, peel and break. Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several time a day and after two months my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my finger tips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." — M. Hill

36. A bottle of Fanola "No Yellow" purple shampoo — you already spent major money to acquire that beautiful blonde look, so why would you let unwanted yellow tones get in the way? This'll cancel out the brassiness and help you keep it looking as good as the hair inspo on your Pinterest board before your next touch-up appointment.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I absolutely love this shampoo, it really takes out the brassy color from the hair and gives it a more platinum look! And the bottle definitely can last me for a few months, almost a year. :) Very, very satisfied." — Nereyda
"I never write reviews, but this stuff is magic in a bottle. I'm a level 7 blonde with high-level highlights and hair that loves to pull red. If my hair starts to look brassy, I use this, and voila — it looks like I just came out of the salon again. I'd love it even if it didn't make my hair feel soft, but it does that, too! Please don't ever stop making this!" — scooptwins

37. A descaling solution for an effective way to finally remove the mineral buildup and limescale from your coffee machine or espresso maker. It'll help extend the life of your machine and improve the taste of your coffee.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap. I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning, it took much less time for the water to heat up, and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." — Lenore
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a two-pack).
38. And a pack of all-natural bottle cleaning tablets because you've been taking that same mug to work for a couple of weeks now and it could probably use a little refresh. The best part? It takes almost no effort on your part! Simply fill your bottle with warm water, drop in a tablet, let it fizz for 15–30 minutes, rinse, and kiss those coffee stains goodbye.
www.amazon.com
These are biodegradable and odor-free.
Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." — Amazon Customer

Promising review:"If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!" — Review Writer

41. A wrinkle releaser and fabric freshening spray for mornings when you really don't have time to iron, but you really need to wear THAT specific shirt.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is literally like an iron in a bottle. It's fantastic. This morning my shirt had a crease from being folded but I didn't have time to change, so I misted just one spray on the shirt, shook it out while I was wearing it, and the crease was gone. I cannot express how much I love this! I spray it over my shirts and shake them out a couple times then hang them up and they are completely wrinkle-free, and it smells like everything just came right out of the laundry, which is also a plus." — Kayla

42. A stainless-steel tongue scraper because, trust me, your tongue has more gunk on it than you think. This useful tool lets you scrape it allll off and instantly freshens up your breath. It works so well, one reviewer even says they can now taste specific flavors they've never detected before!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Unfortunately I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it's the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I went wild trying to brush my tongue. Of course, we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner and it had to be a stainless-steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn't have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!" — jordanb

43. A stainless-steel water bottle that does its job so well, I dare say it'll be the first one *not* to be popular just because it's trendy! It actually keeps your drink cold for 24 hours and features a carry loop for easy transport. But what's so unique about it? Well, it comes with a double-spout built-in straw (a smaller opening for sipping and a large one for swigging), AND it allows you to cover the straw when you're not drinking thanks to the leak-proof push button opening!

For years, I've been a running, cycling, pilates enthusiast, sooo my water bottle is basically attached to me at the hip all day long. And through sweat-filled workouts that leave me lookin' like a ripe tomato, this means I need a bottle that *actually* keeps my H2O cold and keeps it from leaking out as I'm on the go. After going through a lot of trial and error with all the most poplar brands as well as some more niche ones, I've finally the one! Seriously, I wake up at 6:00am, fill my bottle with ice and water, and I can still hear ice clinking around in there by sunset. And the double-spout built-in straw is so comfortable and effortless to drink from — def a feature I never knew I needed in a water bottle. Keeping it forever, love love love it!
Promising review:"This is the second one I have purchased. I love this water bottle for the ease of drinking. The built-in sipping feature is a game changer, and I appreciate being able to close the top and keep the mouthpiece clean, unlike bottles with exposed straws. Don't ever change the design!" — Jill
