A satin-lined beanie, portable car vacuum, toilet target light, and more products you don't *need* (except you do).
1. A sinfully silky satin-lined beanie that'll keep your noggin warm *without* drying out and damaging your hair. This'll save you from forcing yourself to keep your hat on in heated homes when you don't want folks seeing your bed head-esque hat hair. Whew.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This beanie is perfect for curly and wavy girls! The entire inside is satin-lined. When I took the hat off it did not cause any damaged or frizzy curls! I am in love and need more colors!" — Crystal Ingram
Get it from Amazon $13.99+ (available in six colors).
2. A handy portable car vacuum so you can clean your car without the extra effort of bringing your vacuum outside. (Because honestly, when do we ever actually do that?)
It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle!
Promising review:"Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October, my husband and I went to the ocean, and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" — Julia Bright
Get it from Amazon for $29.96 (available in two colors and in a cordless or corded version).
3. The Car Seat Key for parents and guardians who have had one too many manicures ruined by car seat clips. This makes buckling and unbuckling your little one *super* easy and it even hooks onto your keychain so you've always got it with you when getting in the car.
Promising review:"After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I'd have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! LOL, if you've been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It's worth it!" — Tora318
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six colors).
4. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit so you can prep (and cleanup!) in no time at all. The interchangeable blades just pop out and then you can pop them right into the dishwasher!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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 $29.99+ (available in five styles).
5. A 2-in-1 hair bun maker that'll help make all of those beautiful bun hairstyles on your Pinterest board come to life! You can even use it while your hair is damp and enjoy some effortless waves when you take it out!
Curlinator Designs / Etsy
Curlinator Designs is a North Carolina-based small family biz that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review: "Love it!!! I was concerned I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it, but videos make understanding simple. So much easier to use in the mornings than fixing your hair in a bun!!!" — bld9
Get it from Curlinator Designs on Etsy for $12.75 (available in 18 colors).
6. A soothing behavioral aid toy with a faux heartbeat — this is sure to be your puppy's ~dream~ toy and help *you* finally get to sleep while crate training.
Amazon
Promising review:"My partner and I recently got a 4-month-old Italian greyhound puppy and this has been great. We slept with the stuffed animal a few nights before picking up our puppy and placed it in his crate before he arrived. After playing with us and exploring his new home he walked into his crate and curled up against it and went right to sleep. He slept right through the first night with no issue. Today is week two and the batteries are still going strong. I plan on buying one for my sister who will be getting a puppy in the next few months. This is cute and functional." — Jeb
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in seven colors).
7. A bulb changer so you can change the lightbulb in your ceiling without needing to buy a ladder along with new bulbs. It has grippy rubber strips to securely grab the bulb while you twist the pole to unscrew it, and it even has helpful leveling stoppers so the bulb stays in place while you're screwing a new one in!
Just so you know, this is only the gripper tool — not the pole. If you need the pole, you can select that style in the listing.
Promising reviews: " If you read the description, they claim this product to be over-engineered and well-built. Let me tell you, they are very correct! We have a banquet center with 135 can lights in a 14-foot ceiling. It is a pain to change them. I've used many pole changers in the past, and they all were fairly effective but poorly built and had limitations. This unit is incredible!" — Brad Q.
"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).
8. A versatile bag clip to treat your Gucci with the love and respect it deserves — keep it off of sticky floors and bathroom tile!
Promising review:"I have a very heavy, large purse that is a bottomless pit. One time I put my purse on the back of my chair at a cafe and the whole chair flipped over, that is how heavy my bag is. I was looking for something so I could hook my purse on things so it wasn't sitting on the floor and was more accessible. I love this little gadget. I have used it on everything from bathroom stalls to tables to grocery carts. This thing really grips. All of my girlfriends love it and have gotten it for themselves." — Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in nine colors).
9. A spice-organizing drawer liner you can cut to fit inside your kitchen drawers, making room for over 30 spice jars! Now to sort them in alphabetical order...whew! Hot.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"We just moved into a new home, and I needed a way to store spices in a drawer. This product is exactly what I was looking for. It fits beautifully in my drawer, but I love that the strips can be cut for a custom fit. I shopped around for other in-drawer spice organizers, but I would have had to purchase separate jars and transfer the spices. No thanks. This product works with the jars and containers just as they come from the store — no need to purchase special jars. It holds large and small round jars, square containers, and oversized spices. The quality is outstanding. I'm very happy with my purchase!" — EPD611
Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $16.99.
10. A toilet target light with a motion sensor and clear projection — this is sure to make potty training a bright spot in your child's life.
To apply, simply clean the area with an alcohol wipe before attaching the light. Take the sticker off the back and press firmly against the lid for 90 seconds. That's it! Batteries are included.
Promising review:"I got this thinking 'Dear lord I hope this works. If I drop my pants in pee again or have to scrub another wall I am going to go insane!' I thought the price was a bit much but it is okay now that I now it works! I don't know why people are saying theirs don't stay on. I'm truly hoping they cleaned the area first... but anyways. All I did was clean the surface of the lid with some rubbing alcohol and stuck this light on, like it said to do. My husband and son are in and out of the bathroom several times a day. Slamming the lid closed. Lights on and off all the time. This still lights up bright as ever and it's going on three weeks. Now when I sit I sometimes might lean back into it but it's really not an issue. I'm just overwhelmed with joy because this target works and I do not have to scrub any extra walls, floors, or pants!!! You better believe I'm getting one for every darn bathroom in my house!!!" — NoRestForTheWicked
Get it from Amazon for $34.88.
11. A set of fiberglass chopsticks that are dishwasher-safe and made with a no-slip design — these'll help you easily eat noodles without tasty bites slipping and sliding before they make it into your mouth.
These also work great with hot foods, i.e. they won't get too hot when hanging out in a steaming bowl of broth.
Promising review:"This is a quality set of chopsticks! The fiberglass is heavier than standard wood ones (obviously), but they are still easy to use. They don't feel that heavy in the hand. The tips are textured slightly for a better grip on food; this is really great with noodles. The top has a pretty design. I haven't had them very long, but they seem durable and relatively scratch resistant. They clean easily with soap and warm water (they're also dishwasher-friendly). I was looking for an affordable, re-useable set and originally considering stainless steel ones. But based on a number of reviews stating that the material on some wasn't true stainless steel, or they're too heavy, or they get too hot if left in a bowl, I ultimately went with this set. I'm very glad I did!" — nhcabin
Get a box of 10 pairs from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors).
12. A bagel guillotine which, despite its delightfully dreadful name, is just about the safest way you could ever slice a bagel. Grab this to help your kids make breakfast without the fear of losing a digit.
Promising review:"I picked this up because my heart could no longer take the stress of watching our 11-year-old slice bagels (while multitasking with screens and whatnot) with a serrated bread knife. I was going to have a heart attack and she was going to slice into her hand so...I had high hopes and, regardless of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, some concerns about how well this would work. My concerns were unwarranted. This not-so-little little device slices through every single bagel, every single time (and my kid goes through kicks where she'll eat two or three each day). I no longer worry about serious cuts even though the (covered) blade on this thing is SHARP! Only word of advice, like other reviewers, slice (press down) slowly so as not to squash softer bagels. Additionally, this thing slices so cleanly that there are no crumbs to speak of. I'm quite happy with this purchase. This thing now has a permanent place next to the toaster on our counter. I highly recommend it." — Christopher RS
Get it from Amazon for $22.27+ (available in three colors).
13. A pack of Spin Pins capable of holding your hair tight no matter how much you move, saving you from constantly readjusting your 'do throughout the day.
www.amazon.com
One of these coils is as strong as 20 (!) standard hair pins. Bad hair days are officially extinct.
Promising review:"I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." — Tina
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors).
14. A pack of Elephant Trax labels to make storing (and finding!) things you've packed easier than ever. Attach a sticker to the box, take photos of everything inside, and you're all set! You now have a visual inventory! Never confuse your Halloween and Christmas storage again. The Nightmare Before Christmas vibe isn't really your thing anyway.
Promising review: "I am so glad I ordered an extra pack of these. My goal for January was to organize the basement. I have TONS of plastic bins and whenever I need something, I have to open each to find what I'm looking for. I took a few hours the first weekend cleaning out and organizing everything and the bins. I took pictures of the contents of each bin, put one of these stickers on each bin then associated the pics with the sticker's QR code and voila, done. IF YOU LIKE TO BE ORGANIZED, GET THESE STICKERS!" — Fred Labro
Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three pack sizes).
15. A sleep-training alarm clock that'll make rule-following seem positively perky! This'll display darling tiny robot facial expressions and glowing colors to let your kids know when it's time to sleep and when it's okay to get up and...wake the parents.
Promising review:"This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 :( and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we're amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it's fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don't let this stop you from getting it though, it was worth every penny!" — JW
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors).
16. A touchless paper towel dispenser — reviewers rave about how much less messy this makes grabbing a paper towel when they're covered in cake batter, sauce, and such. If you're looking to add a useful, futuristic touch to your classic farmhouse kitchen, look no further than this!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the touchless paper towel dispenser in action.
Bonus: if you don't grab the paper towel, it sucks it back up for safekeeping!
Promising review: "Do we need it? No. But it might be my favorite unnecessary gadget purchase of all time. It leaves our counter tops uncluttered, the no touch sensor lets me grab a paper towel with dirty hands, and I feel like we use less paper towels overall. It's easy to install, easy to program, and easy to replace the roll." — Mlc
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors).
17. A wooden bread box so stunning you may feel like the owner of a boulangerie every time you reach for a slice of bread. And it's not just serving up good looks! The plexiglass windows will help you know what bread you have at the ready. I've wasted more than one loaf of bread by hiding it in a concealed bread box and forgetting about it. I...will be buying this.
I thought it was impossible to forget about bread...and YET.
Promising review:"LOVE!! Bread has to be transported frozen to our town. Because of this, our bread gets super moist, molds quickly, and even gets soggy inside the bag before using it. This bread box really helps! Now, I have DRY STORAGE for my bread and it doesn't mold within a few days of buying it. This works great and looks great! Nice to have an organized place for all my bread loaves." — AkLiz2011
Get it from Amazon for $69.97+ (available in four colors).
18. A self-closing, mess-free toothpaste cap to help save toothpaste in your household even if your kids are rather enthusiastic when squeezing goop from the tube. Plus, this prevents crusty toothpaste buildup!
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 $6.75+ (available in seven styles/quantities).
19. A "Shower Cat" that'll be a hit with folks who spend half their time in the shower making hair art on the walls, which inevitably ends up clogging the drain. TMI? This makes catching your hair *much* easier and gives it a proper place while you finish sudsing up.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.
Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn't want to be how I used to be, where I'd just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don't stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." — Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in two colors).
20. An OXO diaper wipes dispenser sure to be a beloved addition to your changing station. The one-press opening and weighted interior means you can grab wipes with one hand, which is unnervingly necessary when your baby's favorite time to wiggle around is on top of the dresser while being changed.
This does everything it claims, and makes changing so much easier than it could be. It fits large packages of wipes and really does work with one hand. Out of all the changing tools I use, this is the one I recommend the most.
Promising review:"This is easily one of my favorite baby products! Trust me, take the wipes out of the original package and put them in here. THEY WILL NOT DRY OUT! I've even left it open accidentally for a few hours, and the wipes did not dry out. The weight on top makes it so easy to pull out one wipe at a time. The best part is: you can do everything one-handed! Super necessary when you have a blowout or just a wiggly baby." – Lisa Morrison
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in two colors).
21. A pair of LED collars you can toss on your dog, giving you some peace of mind while walking around at night. This thing is especially useful if you play fetch with your dog when it's dark or if they love running around your large yard at night.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I live rural and we have occasional coyotes and some pretty big owls. Bella is not a big dog and I have to see her when she's out in my fenced yard. It's a big yard and I can see her very well with this. I only put it on her at night, sometimes she won't even go out without it on. You can cut it so it slips over a dog's head and it's very convenient. They charge fast and they last a long time. I recommend them. I find that the green is the brightest." — Nancy636
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
22. An electric can opener/knife sharpener — if you're into cooking with canned goods, this *treasure* deserves a spot of honor on your counter. This lovely gadget is about to become the very best sous chef.

Get it from Amazon for $14.44 (available in 12 colors).
23. A Dyson Ball toy vacuum that'll both sound (and work!) like a pint-sized version of your own favorite vacuum. That's right — this thing even has suction! Thanks to this, your little mimic will actually help out around the house while playing pretend. Did we all just master parenting??
Amazon
There's a storage compartment you can remove that'll hold all the debris your kiddo picks up. When they find out they are ALLOWED to tear paper into tiny pieces and then make that paper disaster? That'll entertain them for ages!
Promising review:"Our son is absolutely obsessed with our Dyson (the real one), which is why we purchased this toy Dyson vacuum for his birthday. He's 2 years old, and he is really enjoying having his on 'working' vacuum cleaner!!! He seriously plays with it for hours during the day. Turning it on and off and pushing it through the house just like we use our real vacuum. I would buy this again! It was his favorite gift!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).
24. A pair of toast tongs to make sure you don't burn even a little rab bit of your fingies when your toast pops up from the toaster — no matter how impatient you are when it's breakfast time.
Promising review:"These are the cutest toast tongs! They are nicely crafted and the long-eared bunny design is adorable. Perfect tongs for my toaster and waffle iron. It stands by itself as a little, functional piece of art, and won't get lost in the utensil drawer like my old boring tongs. The packaging is also nice and makes this really giftable, so I'll be ordering more as gifts for sure." — Tuzi
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
25. A milk frother for coffee connoisseurs who have ~bean~ wanting a tool that creates a rich, creamy froth for their daily drinks. Make this at home and feel like the rad, if pretentious, barista you're too afraid to talk to when you go out for coffee.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that is comes with a cute holder for it." — Kayla Dillinger

The kit uses carbamide peroxide gel and a waterproof LED light to brighten your smile in zippy quick 10-minute sessions. Save *so much* time and money by doing this at home!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It worked on myself and wife to brighten both our teeth!!! I was hesitant as a lot of the products out there do not seem to work as advertised but this one definitely does and is reasonably priced! If you are on the fence about it ,like I was, I highly recommend it =). One very happy costumer and most likely returning!!" — Kyle Books
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.

Promising review:"They look so real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and are shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" — Abbey S.

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two colors).
32. A BugZooka bug vacuum you'll be glad you bought when your critter situation sucks. Just hold it up to the bug, press the button, and watch as the device gently pulls beetles, spiders, and roaches into the tube.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"If you're seriously grossed out and terrified by bugs, here at last is the secret weapon you NEED. You cock it, hold the business end near the bug, and push the red button. Voila, the bug is sucked into a plastic chamber in a microsecond, out of your life for all practical purposes. The bug isn't even injured, just confined, so if you're feeling tenderhearted, you can take it outdoors and release it. The bug cannot escape, even if you use the BugZooka again immediately. The second bug and subsequent bugs just join the first one, safe and secure. The BugZooka is about two feet long, so you don't even have to get close to your insect victim." — Calli
Get it from Amazon for $30.10.

www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "Super cool vase that I originally saw on TikTok. It's been sold out everywhere but I managed to snag it from Amazon a few weeks ago for a friend's belated birthday gift. It arrived quickly and securely packaged. The vase is really cool, the glass portion is very sturdy, and the metal portion of the vase seems very strong. It takes a little bit of strength to raise and lower the metal portion. The brass is very light and looks closer to a brushed gold. The recipient was very happy with her gift! 10/10!" — Alexa Clark

Amazon
It comes empty, so don't forget to fill it up!
Promising review:"I purchased this keychain combo pack as a joke for my son's birthday. Sriracha is his favorite condiment and he has been known to bring a full-size bottle with him when he goes out to eat. He was thrilled with this! It was his favorite gift!" — DixieKnitter

40. A BedJet cooling and warming system so you can control the temperature of your bed at night, even with the covers on. This specific detail is crucial when you know that keeping even one leg out of the covers means the monsters WILL get you. We know the facts.
Amazon
This sweet setup uses biorhythm sleep technology. It's programmed to change the temperature each hour of the night to help you sleep better. You can also set the temperature to whatever degree you'd like – just use the remote! If you're a cold sleeper, you can also set it to heat mode and it'll warm you up 15 times faster than a regular ol' blanket! To set it up, plug the unit into an outlet, slip the teeny tube under your sheets, set your preferred temperature, and you'll be g2g!
Promising review: "First time I have ever been moved to write a review on Amazon but this is the single most amazing product if you sleep hot! This thing WORKS and it is saving my life! It only took a NASA engineer to solve my propensity to burst into to flames every night at 2 a.m.!" — Matthes

Promising review:"This is the second privacy screen I've purchased from Amazon. I have an area in my garden visible from the street. The screen hides all my gardening stuff (i.e. wheelbarrow, buckets, etc.). It truly looks like the real deal!!!" — soooz

BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah!
Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme
Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors).

46. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser so you can keep your bread in an airtight container (because those plastic bags are *not* pulling their weight). Reviewers say this can keep your bread fresh far longer, and keep it smush-free!

Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes unique household products.
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 from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" — DRMcQuaig

47. An adjustable cake leveler that'll help with what feels like an impossible task – evenly cutting into a baked cake. If you've tried this with a knife before and ended up with nothing but crumbles, you deserve this.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
If you'd like to make a checkerboard cake – you need this piece!
Promising review: "I was scared to work with layer cakes before because I fail miserably in leveling cakes. Ruler and knife just do not work for me! I can't do it! I decided to give this a try and, boy, I feel like I am an expert cake maker. It's so easy to use and it works perfectly. So far I have tried it on white almond sour cream cake and it has done great. I was able to do a checkerboard cake and I couldn't imagine pulling it off before. Can't wait to make more fabulous cakes! If you suck at leveling cakes, do not hesitate to get this tool! I promise you are going to love it!'' — E. Champion

48. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass and you can grab pickles, cherries, or olives *without* the juice making a mess.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick
Get it from Amazon for $13.90.
49. An Air Fort that'll store flat (it's about the size of a sweatshirt when folded) and then inflate when your kids want to play! This genius toy is easy to pick up, easy to set up, and keeps your house free from the chaos of pillow forts.
Amazon
Promising review:"This is the best gift ever. High impact, easy to set up, so exciting for kids, but folds up SO SMALL. It's maybe the size of a folded sweatshirt when it's packed up? Honestly it's a parent's dream to have a fun activity that doesn't require a ton of storage. I will keep this on my list of gift ideas for the future for other kids in my life!" — Lindsay W.
Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in 17 styles).
50. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher can transform the dumbest of devices into smart machines worthy of the future (as long as they have a press-able "on/off" switch). Have Alexa control these gadgets and gizmos with an app instead! Getting up to start the coffee maker is so last century.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." — Alecia McLochlin
Get it from Amazon for $20.30+ (available in white and black).

52. A front seat organizer designed with two extra drink holders and a catchall spot for keys, lip balm, and the like. Reviewers say this easily fits in their car, even if they didn't have any cupholders before. If you, like the rest of TikTok, need a caffeinated drink, a hydrating drink, and a *fun* drink all at the same time....you're gonna need this stat.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Most awesome thing I bought I think all year! I have a small sports car, no cup-holders. This thing looks awesome, is well-made, and is sturdy! It's everything I needed and it looks fantastic in my car, even though I have dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" — 2019
Get it from Amazon for $20.74+ (available in six colors).
53. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) so you can always make sure there's soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — mammothemeerkat
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 13 pack options, including different scents).
54. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer because that ancient box of baking soda isn't cutting it. Rather than just absorbing bad smells, this also circulates fresh air throughout your fridge to make sure every crevice and corner smells fresh!
www.amazon.com
Check it out on TikTok!
Promising review:"I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I've had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn't smelled once since I've started using." — Amazon Customer

56. A bubble tent that'll be loved by adventurers who actually want to SEE the great outdoors when they are out. Reviewers say this is a cinch to set up (particularly easy with two people) and relatively solid in all weather (just be sure to have a pad underneath if it rains). Imagine star gazing before snoozing in this thing! DREAMY!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This was easy to assemble and is likely even easier with two people. I love going out on the woods to have a camping / picnic date or party with friends. It's resistant to the wind water resistant. When the weather is cold, it's cozy and warm inside this tent. It maintains a good temperature (review image above, left)." — jimeamezcua
Get it from Amazon for $237.99+ (available in four sizes).
57. A bag re-sealer I'd personally buy for the looks alone (it's basically a tiny hair straightener! CUTE!) for anyone who would love the chance to reseal their snacks and keep them feelin' fresh.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips I open daily. This sealer worked great. Heated up in, like, 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now, I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" — Stacy0814
Get it from Amazon for $11.33.
58. And finally, a salt shooter — with this, you can spend all spring and summer hunting the world's most dangerous game...the pesky housefly.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This salt gun is SO MUCH FUN! I hate flies so this is the perfect solution. It's like a nerf gun but shoots salt instead. It's not too heavy to hold. However the pump is tough to pull back, which is perfect for an adult but difficult for kids. If you shoot yourself in the hands or arm, it stings a tiny bit but that's it. I Highly recommend it! Happy Hunting!" — Q. Nguyen
