From skincare woes, to fashion mishaps, and home problems — these products are here to help you through it all.
1. A pet hair remover that is a MUST for keeping on hand during shedding season (aka SPRING). This tool is SO easy to use — you simply swipe it over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie! It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers!
www.amazon.com
ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" — Shelby Cipolla

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors).
2. A saline nasal gel if the culmination of post-winter dryness and spring allergens is making you feel like a human version of Rudolph. This little under-$5 solution is here to assist in restoring moisture to your dry, irritated nose so you can feel more like Comet or Dasher...or any of the other non-red-nosed reindeer.
www.amazon.com
Reviewers say this is also helpful if you use CPAP machines or if you fly (it helps deal with dry air on a plane).
Promising review:"I don't like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." — Catherine
Get it from Amazon for $3.62.
3. A set of acne patches you can apply over a popped whitehead. Simply put the patch over a zit, let it sit overnight or throughout the day, peel it off, and watch it take all the pore-clogging gunk with it.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I am a 40-some-year-old woman who still gets pimples. I tried a wide swath of pimple patches. These are the best. Like the goldilocks of patches — some were very adherent but took off skin to remove, and some fell off very quickly — these are just right. And they work. They reduce the inflammation and keep gunk from getting in. They also keep you from picking at the zit. My teenage daughter also uses them, and they work for her. I have very fair skin, and she is much darker, and they seem to blend nicely with both skin tones." — K. Dahl

Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a 72-pack).
4. Plus, some overnight nose strips to help clean out popped zits taking up residency near your schnozz. Just slap one on before bed, get your beauty sleep, and wake up to the satisfying proof that it's been hard at work. Who knew evicting whiteheads could be this easy?
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: " It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling, and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin, I definitely recommend washing your face first and applying it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas…maybe because it's not cheap." — Justina
Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55.
5. A pair of Nippies — reviewer-loved pasties boasting ample coverage that actually stay in place. A world where you can wear a dress sans bra to a wedding AND partake in the "HOT TO GO!" dance without your nipple covers falling to the ground when Chappell Roan tells you to touch your toes? A true game changer.
Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for July 4 underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa
Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades, two versions, and two sizes: one that fits cups A–C and one that fits cups D+).
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties, too! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.
6. A portable digital luggage scale because it's time we put an end to that gut-wrenching moment the airline counter tells you your suitcase is a few pounds over the weight limit. Being forced to transfer your things from your suitcase into your carry-on in the middle of the terminal for everyone to see is dreadful.
www.amazon.com
I simply do not need the entire JetBlue terminal judging me for being so indecisive that I felt the need to pack my entire closet into my suitcase.
Promising review:"This scale works and was accurate on four flights. First flight was a test at 46 pounds, and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds, and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost, must-have item for air travel." — Robert
Get it from Amazon for $7.64+ (available in four colors).
7. A clinical strength deodorant that boasts up to 72 hours of sweat protection from stress, heat, and activity. If you feel like you're constantly having to freshen up your pits throughout the day, this might just be the product for you.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have been trying all kinds of deodorants for months, trying to find one that works! I sweat a lot at work and this stuff works! I don't have to reapply. This doesn't leave any staining on my clothes. The smell is nice and light. Finally found something that works!" — Zindarella
Get it from Amazon for $8.35.
8. A Pikk-it tool you can use to not only detangle hair from your brush bristles but ALSO to remove hair that's lodged in your vacuum head. If your last floor vacuuming sesh ended with you feeling puzzled as to why your expensive Hoover refused to suck up Fluffy's hair, it's probably because so much of it is already lodged inside the head.
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
9. A pack of snap-on bedding labels if the mess of sheets and pillowcases in your linen closet resembles that of a deflated ghost. Thanks to these babies, you'll be able to easily see and take out the linens you need when you need them. If you've ever had to go on a scavenger hunt for bedding for your houseguests that ended with them just falling asleep before you could find what you needed, well, that was a sign that you seriously need these.
Snap On Bedding Label / Etsy
Snap On Bedding Label is a small business based in Vancouver, Canada. It's owned and run by Sunny Williams, a working mom who came up with the genius idea for bedding labels you simply snap onto bedding (no sewing required and no damage to linens and duvets).
Promising review:"These little snap tags have helped me organize my linen closet in a way I never thought possible! We have white sheets for every size bed in our home, and now I can tell the twins from the doubles and the queens from the kings! A tight snap that allows the sheets to go into the washer still tagged — genius!" — Janine Molinaro
Get a four-pack from Snap On Bedding ​Label on Etsy for $11.44 (available in sizes Twin–King).
10. A WD-40 precision pen that might just become your new favorite tool in your home solutions arsenal. This thing helps tackle rusty bolts and squeaky hinges and protects against corrosion in the easiest way possible.
Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
11. An ingrown hair oil whose combo of jojoba, grapeseed, and tea tree oils may help soften the skin and reduce the appearance of post-shaving and waxing bumps, ingrown hairs, and redness.
Amazon
Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small skincare brand creating products for our most sensitive areas.
Promising review:"I have literally tried everything to prevent razor burn for the past 10+ years, and nothing worked. I tried products, pre-shave routines, post-shave routines, every kind of razor/shaving cream combination you can think of, etc., and despite all my efforts, money, and time, I still always had razor burn. T hat all changed last week when I tried Bushbalm for the first time. I cannot believe how well this stuff works. I never write reviews, like this is literally the first one I've ever written, but seriously if you struggle with bikini line irritation after shaving, buy this stuff for real. I'm so happy I finally found something that works and hope this review helps someone else avoid an expensive and painful 10-year battle to find a solution to their razor burn problems!" — Katie
Get it from Amazon for $26.
12. A set of heel protectors — a must-have with warmer weather upon us, aka the start of outdoor events like weddings, graduations, and parties galore. No matter the occasion, you're gonna want these babies so you can rock your favorite heels without worry of them sinking into grass or breaking on rough surfaces.
Amazon
Promising review:"After slightly sinking into the ground at my own wedding, I decided that I absolutely needed these for every summer wedding thereafter! They were a hit — everyone thought they were genius. My heels were spared from sinking into grass as well as dirt and gravel! LOVE THEM! I need them in every size!" — Alexis
Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes).

13. A migraine stick to help potentially stop painful migraines in their tracks. As a migraine sufferer myself, I know how difficult it is to accomplish anything when a migraine hits, and there just aren't enough hours in the day to waste on nursing yourself back to a fully functioning human when you get one.
Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins.
Promising review:"After reading an article on BuzzFeed that touted this product, I bought one for my boyfriend, who suffers from awful, frequent headaches. It WORKS. Not only does he swear by it, he has purchased them for his mom and several friends. FANTASTIC." — SassySarah
Read my coworker's Migrastil Migraine Stick review for more deets!
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
14. Or a super smart cold gel therapy cap you'll wanna have on hand for your next migraine or headache or just to relieve some oncoming tension. You can freeze it and use it cold or place it in the microwave (just make sure it's at room temp first) and use it hot.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Read more about how temperature therapy can help — including how applying heat during the start of a migraine can help relax tense muscles, while cold compresses can have a numbing effect, which may dull pain — at Mayo Clinic.
Promising review: "I have suffered from migraines my entire life, and I'm almost 50 years old. As soon as I put this pack on my head, I instantly felt relief from the five-day barometric pressure migraine I'd had. The soft design was really nice, and I love that it covered my whole head and was easy to put on. I recommend waiting a few minutes after taking it out of the freezer because it was really cold." — T.
Get it from Amazon for $29.96 (available in six styles).
15. A light bulb gripper/changer to not only make it possible but SIMPLE to change the bulbs in those rooms of your house with ridiculously high ceilings. You know those bulbs that have been dead for months now because you don't want to hassle with a ladder to climb up and change them? Yup, those.
This is only the gripper tool — not the pole. If you need the pole, you can select that style in the listing.
Promising review: "We have 10-foot ceilings, and one of our overhead floodlights was starting to blink on and off. I have an 8-foot ladder, but rather than hauling that into the house and climbing up on it, I got online to see what I could find. I had an old 10-foot car wash pole, and that worked perfectly with the bulb changer — so much easier than the hassle of a ladder. After replacing my bad light, I then wondered about changing my stairway light, 16 feet up from the stairs landing. Luckily, we had bought a second-story window-washing kit a couple of months ago, which included a four-piece extending pole, so I thought I would try that out and see how it would be. It's a little tricky holding steady that high up, but when the need arises, I think it'll work just fine. So all-in-all, I'm quite happy with this, and it'll make a great tool to keep stored away waiting for the next light bulb failure." — Patrick
Get it from Amazon for $19.83+ (available in three styles and with the pole).
16. An oil solidifier powder that works like this: Simply sprinkle it over hot oil (do it dramatically like you're a fairy godmother and it's magic dust), let it solidify, and then safely get rid of the now hardened leftover oil in the pot/pan. If you love frying food (it's delicious, who doesn't?!), but hate the process of disposing oil, then you need to get this immediately. A world of homemade chicken tenders and fries awaits!!!
Plus!!!! This product is made from 100% plant-derived fats, so you'll feel good about it! FryAway is a woman-owned small biz that makes this super smart cooking oil solidifier! The brand also made a deal with Lori and Mark on Shark Tank!
Promising review:"Honestly, I didn't know if this would work. Waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature, it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." — Emma
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
17. A butt acne-clearing lotion because, yes, acne on the derriere *is* a thing, and if you're reading this thinking you were alone in this struggle, we're here to remind you, you're not. Enter this product, made with pure plant extracts like Australian tea oil, to help target the root of this annoyance on your booty and help kick it in the ~behind~.
www.amazon.com
Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic.
Promising review:"This product is gentle on the skin but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps, like a rash or breakout, can form in sensitive areas. Using this product once a day after showering, I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works. Doesn't smell the greatest, but it's tolerable, for sure. Great product." — Billie B
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
18. A set of breathable cotton underwear if hotter temps outside tend to lead to more ~issues~ down there (looking @ you, yeast infections). Now, this underwear won't necessarily prevent infections from happening, but the cotton material absorbs moisture, which, in turn, can help reduce the risk!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These undies are sooo super comfortable!! I purchased them to wear for work, and I can't believe how well they stay put. No wedgies, no shifting, smooth and comfortable. Even when I get very sweaty and am on my feet all day, the underwear holds up." — Mikey Hudachko
Get a five-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–5XL and 10 color combinations).
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord calls these undies "wedgie-proof." To learn more, check out her UMMISS underwear review.
19. A FlexiSnake for unclogging your hair-filled drain. Simply ~snake~ this tool down there, let it grab the hair, pull it back up, and then decide whether you should marvel at its abilities or gag. Not to mention, it's a heck of a lot cheaper (and TBH, way less embarrassing) than calling a plumber.
This pack contains a reusable handle and five single-use heads that you just remove and dispose of after handling your clogged pipes.
Promising review:"Wow. Best thing ever. Seriously. I have had tweezers and sticks and plumbers and chemicals trying to get my master sink to drain. The plumber even said I needed an entirely new faucet to get the drain plug part because they don't sell those separately. Well, I have two sinks, a tub, and a shower that all match, so that was not a valid solution. Doubt I can find the same model. So I bought this thing, stuffed it down, and pulled up hair and black muck. Did it about eight times quickly, ran the water, and went right down the drain. Seriously. This is the best tool ever and the best $20 I have ever spent. Everyone with a sink needs this tool. Seriously." — juliejules
Get a five-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
20. A genius sandwich bread dispenser reviewers say helps keep loaves of sandwich bread fresher longer (think: weeks) because it's time we finally put an end to that annoying moment of discovering green spots a few days after grocery shopping and having to throw away half the loaf.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Buddeez is a family-owned small biz based in Missouri that sells home goods!
Promising review:"The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer that would keep the bread from getting crushed by the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" — DRMcQuaig
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a pack of two).
21. A pack of mess-free toothpaste caps if you've reached the point in your life where opening a new tube of toothpaste involves making a mini promise to yourself that it won't end in a dried-up toothpaste mess, only to break that promise several weeks later...again. It can't just be me.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess, and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one, but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." — Kimberly C
Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.45+ (available in seven color combos and larger quantities).
22. A shoe deodorizer spray, because unless your feet smell like roses all day and night, chances are, over time, you have probably noticed your shoes tend to smell less than pleasant. Luckily, this spray is formulated with lemon and eucalyptus essential oils to help freshen up your footwear. You're welcome!
Promising review:"This product WORKS! You won't be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty, and this spray helps keep the awful odors away for at least four to five days (probably longer, but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell, haha!) The lemon is strong, and I love the eucalyptus, so I would purchase it again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also, so I'm sure I'll soon be using this in his shoes, too." — Traeannah Brown
Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three scents).
23. A Guac-Lock — a brilliant container to store leftover guacamole. We've all been there — you buy or make a delicious batch of that creamy green goodness, and *gasp* you don't finish it all in one sitting. Now you're left to decide if you should stuff yourself silly so you don't waste it or accept your fate of eating brown avocado sludge over the next few days. The good news is you don't have to do either of those things, thanks to this genius invention.
Promising review:"Rarely do I buy something that delivers 100% of what they claim it will. I'm happy to report that this completely lived up to my expectations. Truth be told, it works even better than I expected it to. I made a batch of guac a week ago. Two or three times during the week, I unlocked it, dipped a chip or two, and then re-locked it. After a week, the guacamole is as fresh as if I made it this morning. I typically make a batch of guac each week and use it as a snack or as a spread on sandwiches. I also typically throw out one-third of the batch because it spoils before we can eat it. Not anymore. I estimate the food I'm not wasting will actually pay for the Guac-Lock in about a month." — mhogan
Get it on Amazon for $29.99.
24. A mold and mildew removal gel that is seriously so easy to use, you'll wonder why you put off cleaning away those eyesore stains in your shower for so long!!! All you have to do is squeeze this over the spots you're looking to fix up, let it sit overnight, and allow it to work its magic! Pretty sure this is concocted with fairy pixie dust.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"For a couple of months, I had been battling a mold spot on my bathroom sink caulk. I had tried various things to get rid of it, but had no luck. I read about this whitener and thought I would try it, and I'm glad I did. It was easy to use as the tip allows for precise application. The gel is thick, so there is no need to reapply. I applied it and then waited for a few hours. That mold spot was gone and has not reappeared. I would highly recommend this stuff." — Wendy N

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
25. A stainless-steel odor-absorbing soap bar because garlic, onion, and fish may taste delicious in your meal, but their smell is pretty yucky, ESPECIALLY when it lingers on your hands hours after cooking.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Works wonders. I was very impressed. Tried using it after cutting meats, fish, and onions, and it really works well. No smelly hands at all. If you're in the kitchen a lot, get yourself one. You won't regret it." — Sweety mum
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
26. A faucet extender that'll come in handy if your current faucet is so old it barely extends to a normal length, OR if you live with kiddos who need easier access to the water when it's time to wash their hands and brush their teeth.
Promising review:"Before I knew a thing like this existed, I spent the time it took to wash my squirming kiddo's hands one at a time, wondering how long it was going to take for his arms to grow enough to reach the faucet. I'm so glad I have this thing now! The setup is just taking it out of the box and stretching the rubber part around the faucet; it took two seconds plus some time to adjust to the best angle. Now, I can wash my 15-month-old's hands at the same time, and the whole process is much faster and easier. He liked it right away, too!" — Michelle G
Get two from Amazon for $10.95.
27. A pack of refrigerator door handles perfect for anyone who's tired of sticky post-eating fingers (or just fingerprints in general) leaving behind marks galore on their stainless-steel fridge/freezer doors. Raise your hand if you're also a childless adult who accidentally created a sticky mess on the fridge doors in search of the milk carton after eating a PB&J! 🙋‍♀️
Psst — these use Velcro for a perfect fit on every handle!
Promising review:"Keeps my handles clean! What a game changer! These are the softest covers. Love how they just blend in with my stainless-steel fridge. If you own a stainless-steel fridge, 'stainless' is not true with the handles. These covers will change your life!!!!" — Debby from Warren
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight sizes and multipacks).
28. A set of pins to put an end to the midnight duvet shuffle — no more waking up with all the fluff bunched at your feet. These handy clips keep your comforter perfectly in place, so you stay cozy all night long. No more twisting, tangling, or fighting with your bedding — just uninterrupted, snuggly sleep.
Amazon
Pinion Pins is a small biz that sells home improvement products!
Promising review:"We just bought a king-sized duvet insert and several covers, but the cover never stays in one place. These pins are a game-changer. I stick one end through the fabric and duvet, simply attach the other side of the pin (it basically attaches itself), and I repeated that at about 40 centimeter intervals, and those pins are solid and don't bother us at all when we sleep. I would most definitely buy these again and recommend them highly." — M rol
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $17.95.
29. A three-step cradle cap system that is so easy to use, you'll find yourself a pro at treating your little one's cradle cap in no time at all. First, use the sponge to lather bb's head with soap, cradle cap shampoo, or oil; second, massage circular motions on their head with the brush to loosen flakes; third, use the comb to lift the flakes away.
Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children's and the American Academy of Dermatology. The kit includes a double-sided foam sponge and bristle brush, a fine-tooth comb, and a storage stand.
Promising review:" A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap, and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone, and it does wonders on the scalp and keeps the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." — LM01
Get it from Amazon for $13.89.
30. Compound W One Step Pads for applying to plantar warts — they just look like bandages, but really they're working hard to remove those stubborn little guys. Just stick one on and go about your day while the salicylic acid gets to work behind the scenes — it's like a tiny undercover agent for your feet. How's that for low-effort wart removal?
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn't think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it's silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I'm telling you, I nearly cried. I've never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you've got stubborn plantar warts." — Liz Dube
Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.19.
31. A chemical-free indoor fly trap because having little bug friends who love you so much they want to be your roommate is nice in theory...but yucky and annoying in reality. If you're tired of trying to swat away at those lil' guys (which never works, let's be real), this thing is here to help save the day.
www.amazon.com
This indoor trap offers 400 square feet of protection.
Promising review: "My apartment complex has had an outburst of flies and gnats lately. Bought this, and it changed my life. No more fly swatter, no more looking around endlessly, trying to find those pesky flies. No more trying to be a fly samurai. This thing works, and it works GREAT! I have bought two more since then and additional glue pads. I am a forever customer." — Jose Fernandez
Get it from Amazon for $14.19.
32. A pack of ceiling fan filters that'll capture dust, pollen, pet dander, and more airborne irritants just by turning on your ceiling fan. It's like having an air purifier without having to spend the money (or make space) for an air purifier. Plus, all you have to do is just stick 'em on your fan.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.79.
33. A garbage disposal brush to help break up stubborn food debris living rent-free in your disposal. For all the time it spends stuck in the depths of your sink, causing a nasty stench, it could at least contribute to rent. In the wise words of Stephanie Tanner: "HOW RUDE!"
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Do you ever remove the rubber cap between your sink and disposal? It is beyond gross! This is shaped just right and makes quick work of a yucky job. Good to do to keep odors away." — Mom328LSA
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
34. A thaw claw that'll help thaw frozen meat up to seven times quicker (depending on which meat you're thawing, some reviewers say it only takes minutes). If only this product had been around when I was in high school, when my mom would ask me to take the chicken out of the freezer when I got home (which I almost always forgot to do until she got home from work, oops).
Amazon
Thaw Claw is a small biz!
Promising review:"A package of frozen meat would have taken at least two days to thaw in the fridge. I used this for a 2-pound package a couple of days ago, and the meat was thawed within 90 minutes. One of the most practical kitchen gadgets I own." — Llda Schellhase
Get it from Amazon for $10.95.
