I love ceramic decor. When I find some that are also functional? It will likely end up straight in my shopping cart! These are a conversation piece on their own.

Yep, this includes larger ones like the iPhone Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, etc. Promising review: "I bought this due to the adorable design and wanting to add a hint of cuteness to my office space. I didn't want the boring rectangle tissue boxes. Super easy to put together, my 8-year-old did it... I plan to use the front area for a photo once I decide on one, instead of a place for my phone... I LOVE it and have gotten tons of compliments on it!" — AZxlgLady 4. A sunset projection lamp to gift them gorgeous end-of-day vibes whenever they want it.

Amazon Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light (but it's not too bright. I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycles). Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" — Amazon customer 5.

There is a lot of Disney foodie history in it, plus recipes that look easy to follow with high quality ingredients. There are fun maps of each of the parks inside where the food is located from, which makes it fun. As an avid Disney fan I have never seen a cookbook like this.

A set of punny and durable vinyl coasters that are a must-have in any music lover's home. Coasters aren't the most fun thing to shop for, but these are pretty dang cute!

Promising review: "They are perfect representations of records and look very cool while protecting the furniture... It has a non-slip bottom so they don't slip and slide. Even the packaging is worth saving. He loves them and I love not having rings on my table.." — ajmets 11. A Bluetooth typewriter keyboard with a holding slot for their iPad or tablet!

If there was anything that'd motivate them after hours in front of a screen, it'd be this! Promising reviews:"This little keyboard is awesome! Just like typing on a retro typewriter. I love the feel of the keys. Super easy to pair up with my phone and iPad. Highly recommend this!" — Michele Sanises "Definitely worth the purchase. My favorite quality is that it holds my phone up too!! The keys stick up higher than a normal keyboard and it took some getting used to, but I love it. I've gotten so many compliments on it and it makes that satisfying clicky sound when you use it. it's super easy to connect and it is compatible with a Mac, which can be a pain if you know anything about Macs lol. buy it!" — Abby Victoria 12.

Promising review:"Absolutely beautiful novelty item! ...The shell is nicely formed, and a good quality. It is substantial, a good weight, not flimsy... It's covered with a heavy pearlescent finish that makes light and color flow across it. It's very pretty! The pearl light is a solid cream white ceramic and looks wonderful in the shell, with or without the light batteries are replaceable and are easy to replace. I am very happy with the one I got, and will be buying another." — Michele Lyons Price: $20.88 (available in pink and white). 13.

They each fit AirPods 1 and 2! Promising review:"These cases feel very durable and fit perfectly!! I highly recommend you're hesitating, then don't; these are just too cute!!!

A mini portable Crock-Pot food warmer absolutely perfect for folks going into the office, commuting students who'd rather not spend their money on expensive campus lunch, or simply *anyone* who just has zero space for the real deal.

Includes a removable storage container and inner lid that are both dishwasher-safe, a detachable cord, and a soft-to-touch-outter container. Promising reviews:" If you're a college student, you need this! I live on a college campus and they don't allow us to have microwaves or any other cooking appliances in our dorms so having a hot meal outside of cafe food or fast food can get annoying. So I decided to pick this up and this has been the best thing I ever purchased. I'm able to heat up home-cooked meals, soups, noodles, oatmeal, literally anything! It works so well and it's super compact and doesn't take up much space. It is a perfect portion size for one person and it's super easy to clean as well. I absolutely love this and I highly recommend this for college students!" — Macy Daniels " Perfect for college students. My daughter is an on-the-go college senior who never seems to have time to eat, and by the time she gets home at night, it's late in the evening. This allows her to prep food and take it with her. Easy to heat up anywhere she goes!" — Jackie Ray 17. Vintage bookshelf games like Scrabble and Candy Land that'll blend in beautifully on their bookshelf. I mean, it looks like an actual book for Pete's sake! Amazon, Promising review: "Adorable vintage designs! Sturdy pieces... Definitely more pricey than the cheap version you could get for $10 at any big store, but honestly, it's worth it to me. It lasts so much longer and easier to store. Having it in our front room on the bookshelf makes it easily accessible and blends in with our other books. You can see in my photo [the bookshelf on the right] we also have Boggle and Chutes and Ladders. Big fan of these." — Spooky Hobbit 18. A super durable retro-inspired Bluetooth speaker that's small in size but mighty in sound. It's the perfect addition to your kitchen, shelf, or desk space (and it's pretty adorable too!). Promising reviews:" This speaker really does add more fun & joy into my life. I previously owned an Anker brand speaker that stopped working. The Muzen button isn't as loud as the Anker speaker but still holds a clear sound. I absolutely love the design and color!" — Onika Donnay Incorporated "Got this speaker as a gift for my super trendy & fashionable sister, quite honestly wasn't expecting it to be more than a cute fashion accessory. To say I was shocked at the quality of sound is an understatement. It's louder than my regular speaker - and it's less than a fifth of the size. Not to mention, it's soooo pretty and everyone always comments about how tiny it is. Surprisingly heavy and durable metal, not cheap plastic, which was a relief. My sister is obsessed with it and it's already her new favorite (and frequently Instagrammed) accessory. She has found a way to wear it with her outfits and brings it with her everywhere...10/10 would recommend as a gift for any fashionista/music lover or even if you just want to treat yourself." — Nina 19. An insulated wine-pouring tote bag so they're stocked up on their favorite beverage no matter where they are. It's perfect to take along on picnics, beach days, or walks with a view. Amazon Promising review: "I purchased this purse for my wife... and she absolutely LOVES it!! The purse is elegant looking and constructed very well. She drinks boxed wine and was able to use the already filled bag with the spout and just drop it into the purse (she was able to get 2 liters in the zipper compartment). We went to a formal party where the drinks were overpriced. She was able to pour her own wine at the table, and no one even noticed all night long. She likes that the pocket where the spout comes out is flush with the purse, so the spout is not obvious. There is also a lot of room in the purse for other items like keys, cell phones, etc. She highly recommends this purse to anyone looking for a good quality wine purse. As she would say, Cheers!" — Dean Flowers 20. A set of crystal-inspired makeup brushes that'll make applying their makeup way more of a ~magical~ experience. The set comes with 10 brushes —everything from a powder brush to an eyeshadow brush. Promising review:"The quality of these brushes is great. No shedding and they are soft and firm where they need to be. They're pleasant to hold and overall just beautiful brushes. You can't beat this quality for the price! I highly recommend to anyone who likes make up. Would make a great gift!!" — Erika 21. A vintage-looking dimmable candle warmer perfect for the candle-loving giftee who probably doesn't have room for more (I mean, same here). This warmer will evenly melt their candles — no flame necessary. It even has a timer so they'll be able to simply ~enjoy~ their favorite scent and not worry about whether or not they blew out a candle. Amazon Promising review:"I'm impressed. I bought it once for myself and another time as a gift. It works great with the remote and releases the scent from the candle slowly. It is not heavy and assembly was easy. I really like the way it looks and makes my room feel warm." — Sunshine Price: $33.99+ (available in 10 styles). 22. A unique initial necklace if you're looking to give something that's stylish and sentimental. This piece comes with a half gold paperclip-style chain and half dainty pearls. It's something they can wear every day with any outfit. This necklace also has an extender in back, so your giftee can switch up the length for the perfect fit. Promising reviews:"I absolutely love this necklace. Quality is amazing and I have gotten so many compliment s. It's so versatile. Wear it with a dress or jeans and a tank top. Super cute. 🥰" — Elizabeth Rodriguez "To me this necklace looks more expensive than it is. It's great quality and I love to wear it all the time now!" — Jazmen Price: $16.99 (available in letters A–Z and in silver, rose gold, or gold). 23. An adorable floral ceramic latte mug because a cute mug will make all the difference when they're on their third cup of coffee for the day. It's microwave-safe, too! (A serious must for most folks). Note — latte mugs are on the smaller side, so reviewers also love them for small drinks, snacks like yogurt and overnight oats, and even tiny planters! Promising review:"I am in love with this little mug. It is beautifully crafted and unique. It is tiny, but I expected that! Love the details." — alyssa Price: $13.98+ (available in three styles and sets of two and three). 24. A stunning floor-length mirror that's 100% drool-worthy and will no doubt be their go-to for selfies. This elegant mirror is mountable, too! So if they want to save some floor space, they've got that option. This is top-tier gift giving right here!! Amazon Promising review:"Beautiful and very high-end. I am shocked by the quality of this mirror for under $200. The velvet is gorgeous in person and it is incredibly sturdy... It is really heavy so if you want to hang it make sure you have a stud. Its weight allows it to stay tilted on the ground too without moving around... I was really hesitant but it looks like something from West Elm." — Dan Schwalbe 25. A set of LED lightsaber chopsticks perfect for anyone who's the Chewbacca to your Han Solo (and for the BFF who's always asking you out to sushi). Amazon, Emma Lord / BuzzFeed Promising review:"I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" — T. Redwood 26. A small, heart-shaped frying pan because who wouldn't love a heart-shaped pizza, omelet, or pancake?? And yep, it's nonstick, too! 💗 Amazon Promising review:" I like it so much I am buying a second one. I mostly use it to cook a double fried egg from two large eggs...I use it much more than I expected. I frequently make three double fried eggs in a row without needing to clean it in between. The nonstick is that good. It is very lightweight and easy to manage. Ordering my second now!" — A parent 27. A tea sampler box for those who are always itching to try a new flavor. It comes with 10 different assortments like chamomile citron, green mango peach, and more. Promising review:"It was an absolute pleasure trying this brand of tea... The packaging itself is gorgeous, and is definitely worthy of setting out for guests. It is very inviting. When you open the box, you are gifted with some pretty amazing fragrances. You can tell the ingredients of these teas are high quality and FRESH... This is my new favorite brand of tea, hands down... For our part, it took us just a few days to go through the entire box, (it's THAT good!) and so we will probably be on the lookout for options of buying this tea in larger quantities." — Benjamin Martin 28. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" so they don't have to move from their cozy setup just to grab a snack or dig for the remote that's buried somewhere under their pile of blankets. Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review:" I bought this on a whim. My apartment is small and we don't have enough room for end tables near the couch, so we always would have snack tables out and then just put them away when we had company over. When I first received this I tried almost every cup and mug I had to see if they would fit. Everything fits! Even my HUGE tea mugs. It has a little cut-out for the handle of a mug to fit in, which is so helpful. It's great for cups, but also is a great caddy for the remotes as well. I haven't tried to wash it yet, but I know the cover is removable and washable which is a plus. So far I have just had to spot clean it and that has worked fine. I would HIGHLY recommend!" — Randi 29. A retro Apple Watch stand that'll take them back to the OG gaming days (aka the good times). Who said you can't enjoy your Apple Watch when it's off your wrist? Amazon Love this product way too much? There's also an awesome Airpod and Airpod Pro case to match. Promising review:"Got this as a gift for my fiancé and he was so stoked when he opened it. It's such good quality for the price and it fits the watch super well!! It really looks like the real thing!" — natuuhhhliee Price: $15.99 (available in four colors). 30. AND pack of Gameboy decals as easy as peel, stick, and stare in awe. It'll make a fridge or a bedroom door way more fun as it doubles as dry-erase boards, too. If that won't motivate them to write down your grocery list, I don't know what will. Amazon Promising review:" I bought this on a whim because I knew my boyfriend would laugh and appreciate the heck out of boyfriend plays video games and has a fair share of Cowboy Bebop figurines, so when I saw it I knew he'd get a kick out of it. 11/10 would buy again just for another chance to see his reaction. And honestly it looks great [and] transformed a boring white fridge we paid no mind to, to a clever and cute conversation piece that ~also~ serves a function." — Olivia

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Manifesting chic outfits, nutritious home cooking, and not one coworker reporting that "you look tired." 1. A pair of pleated palazzo pants to take any 'fit to the next level with minimal effort. Even paired with and old white tee, these wide-legged beauties give off serious boss babe vibes. Promising review: "I'm a 5-foot-1.5-inch girl and have been STRUGGLING to find office pants that I haven't needed to get hemmed. I bought these in the XS short, and they fit like a dream!! So comfy. The waistband is very stretchy, and wearing these feels like sweatpants. They are on the thinner side — I wouldn't wear them in winter without warmer leggings or something underneath, but for summer or autumn, they are perfect." — shalom Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, 1X–2X, short lengths, and 28 colors). 2. Clinique Almost Lipstick tinted lip balm since it's *the* perfect lip and cheek tint for when you need to pull your look together and you're already running late. The two shades work with seemingly every skin tone and outfit, feel lightweight, and are buildable for nailing a range of looks. Amazon BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is certifiably obsessed: "I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about 'expensive' beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick." Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks. Warning: It's ~convincing~. Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in two colors). 3. A durable honeycomb drawer because it'll eliminate the full-scale drawer excavation you perform every time you're looking for a specific scarf, tie, or pair of underwear while trying to rush out the door.

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 spent way too much time 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 just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust can." — Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.99. 5. An Anyday starter set so you can utilize the quick and easy convenience of your microwave to cook delicious meals, including everything from grains and veggies to proteins like a full chicken breast and salmon.

Instead of reheating leftovers, cooking from my usual repertoire, or giving into laziness and ordering delivery, I'm using Anyday to steam fresh veggies and poach fish. Learning to reinterpret recipes for the microwave has been an exciting new creative outlet in the kitchen. We're eating healthier, more elaborate dinners on weeknights because it all comes together so quickly and easily. The bowls will easily pay for themselves many times over in all the delivery orders that I don't place." — Brian E Get the starter set from Anyday for $60+ (originally $80+; available in two sizes and four colors) or from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two sizes). 6.

This non-greasy formula is packed with calcium, moisturizing oils, and vitamins to strengthen nails and condition cuticles. Promising review:"My nails were in bad shape before I started using this product. I had one nail that would constantly split on the side, but not anymore. I saw the difference right away after using this product. The smell is great, it is a good moisturizer for your cuticles, and it has wonderful ingredients. I definitely recommend it, and I will be purchasing another really soon." — Tasha Stewart Get it from Amazon for $8.88. 7. A cruelty-free under-eye brightener to effortlessly conceal dark circles since you haven't gotten enough sleep in *checks watch* about a decade. The color-adapting formula is creamy and lightweight, so you don't have to worry about unwanted creasing and cakiness, either. The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Check out a TikTok of the brightener in action. 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.

I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 8. A nongreasy hair wax stick for taming flyaways and smoothing edges without weighing down your entire look with globs of gel.

Promising review:" Perfect for humid weather. I have relatively fine hair, and my hair looks HORRIBLE every time we travel somewhere topical. I came across this wax one day, and I am in love. I've been able to do cute hairstyles and have them stay in place all day." — arlerh n. Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 9. A suede and nubuck cleaning brush because that rainy run-in has left your suede shoes looking more stained than stylish. This brush will diminish the look of water stains with no additional cleaners required so you and your favorite shoes can enjoy another (hopefully drier) outing together! Shacke is a small manufacturer based in Baldwin Park, California, creating useful travel products like packing cubes and luggage tags. You can totally use it with another cleaner or spray if you want, but it seems like reviewers have success without it! It just takes some elbow grease. Promising review:"I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying gray-colored shoes once I got them dirty. Luckily, I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use, straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this since you invest so much in those shoes, you might as well keep them nice and clean!" — Celeste Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four styles). 10. An undated habit calendar that makes it easy to list and track daily, weekly, and monthly habits since small wins like waking up on time feel twice as sweet when you get to check off a pretty little box as a reward. Free Period Press Free Period Press is a queer-owned small business based in Cleveland, Ohio, that sells super cute notebooks, stickers, prints, and more! I also recommend a pack of pack of colorful pens to go with it. Promising review:"LOVE my habit calendar. Perfect for tracking daily exercise goals. I've been using it to track my training for my upcoming black belt test. Before, I was using a regular calendar and putting stickers on days when I trained. But this way I can track which specific training I did (push-ups, crunches, etc.) each day. Cannot recommend enough." — Summer Ballentine Get it from Free Period Press for $12.20, Amazon for $24, or Etsy for $14.40. 11. A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock wrinkle-free fits even when there's no time (or energy) to break out the iron. Just spray, give your clothes a few swipes, and watch the wrinkles rapidly fall away. I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94. 12. A silicone-free L'Oréal moisturizing treatment for anyone who wants visibly healthier-looking hair FAST — like, eight seconds fast. This rinse-out formula works on any hair texture or length, delivering the proteins and amino acids necessary for a shiny, flippable mane. This is silicone- and paraben-free! Promising review:"OMG!!! Most amazing hair treatment I've ever used in my entire life. Most hair masks weigh my hair down, but since this is water, it makes it SO soft and bouncy. I'm obsessed and will keep buying. Holy grail." — Natasha Get it from Amazon for $10.97. 13. A cruelty-free extreme hold eyebrow gel if midday fallen brows leave you crestfallen. All that fluffing work for nothing?! Try this nonsticky styler (transparent or tinted) for serious staying power that'll last up to 16 hours. Promising review: "I would use hairspray to hold my eyebrows and throughout the day I would sweat through it and it wouldn't last. I tried this because the price was great and I'm gladI did. This product is awesome. I've had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift and they are still in place! It doesn't dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder and this does NOT affect the look of the powder nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." — Shelby Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in five shades, including clear). 14. A non-aerosol dry shampoo powder packed in a travel-friendly compact to prolong wash day and revive greasy locks so you can basically roll right out of bed and into the office and STILL have coworkers complimenting your fabulous hair. Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used just about every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try; it may soon be your favorite!" — Melanie Havert Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades). 15. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner for not only cleaning but preventing soap scum buildup with minimal effort. Once a week, simply give your shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse, and — BOOM — it's squeaky clean and you didn't even break a sweat. Promising review:"I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach, and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use, it will get there. Highly recommend this product." — KZ Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 16. A battery-operated fabric shaver because it'll help rescue well-loved knits from the horrors of aging — lint, matted fibers, and pilling, oh my! It's like a tiny vacuum; just empty the detachable lint catcher when you're done and enjoy your revitalized sweater. Also, be sure to pick up two AA batteries! They're not included. It kills me inside when I see a favorite sweater start to pill, so I bought this exact shaver to spruce up some of my older knits. It's great and weirdly relaxing. When I first got it, I was de-pilling everything, from the intended sweaters to the throw pillows on our couch. It's a little loud, so your roommates may or may not come out of their rooms to see what you're it's totally worth it to make any pilled fabric look years younger. Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors and two styles). 17. A three-piece knit lounge set that'll revamp your at-home wardrobe with a cozy matching set perfect for romanticizing the heck out of your life on a relaxing Sunday. Promising review:"I already have this set for myself but I bought another one for my sister. Let me tell y'all, the stretch on this is AMAZING and it's incredibly soft. Blown away with this and will be buying another one for my wedding!" — Moly Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors). 18. An air-dry leave-in cream so you can get touchable, crunch-free curls, and enjoy less frizz without taking the time to get the blow-dryer or other heat styling tools involved. This cream helps define your natural texture and works best on those with wavy, curly, or coily hair!! Promising review:"I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while, my waves resemble curls, but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product one time so far, and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel-drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant, so I was skeptical, but after about 15 minutes, I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror, and I was amazed. It looked styled rather than a ratty mess. I slept on it, and it still looked great in the morning!!!" — mich0610 Get it from Amazon for $8.96. 19. A powerful Eufy robot vacuum if you want clean floors without ever having to lift a finger. It's got one impressive battery life and is so quiet you'll look up from your work only to realize the floors are cleaner than when you sat down. It's like hiring a cleaning person with 24/7 access. Promising review: " This is one of my favorite purchases I've ever made. I have a very hairy dog and was sick of having to vacuum all the time. This little guy has solved that issue entirely! Before running it the first time, I did a very thorough vacuum of all the carpet and hard flooring and have used this vacuum daily since, and it has saved me so much time and effort! I clean out all of the filters and roller brush weekly to make sure it doesn't get clogged up with dust and hair. The roller brush is super easy to remove and clean as well. The first couple of times I used it, it seemed to wander the house aimlessly, but it quickly figured out and ideal path and really does get every nook and cranny." — Best purchase ever! Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in three styles). 20. A "Soft" perfume rollerball tiny enough to keep stashed in your purse in case you're anything like me and forget that perfume exists until you're out the door. It also smells downright divine and last allll day, which probably explains why it's been blowing up on socials. Promising review: "If you love vanilla scents with a splash of sweet chocolate and marshmallow, this is it! First time trying, and I'm in love. Long-lasting. Might last longer than the spray. Definitely WILL buy again and again and again." — H.G. Get it from Amazon for $5.22 (available in two styles). 21. A portable gel lint roller for a less wasteful way to handle the never-ending supply of lint and pet hair that makes its way onto your clothes. It's like no lint roller you've ever seen and will regain its stickiness by rinsing out the interior ball for repeat use. Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok a bunch of times and finally decided to get it. I hate the paper lint rollers, they never seem to work that well, and I hate that I have to throw them away. This is awesome because it fits right in my bag, and I'm able to reuse it over and over. It's super sticky and works great!" — Ella Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors and in larger multipacks). 22. A cute and compact portable pill container with seven compartments because you don't have to dig through every bottle in your medicine cabinet just to stay on track with all your daily medications and supplements. Promising review: "This is the best pill container I have found. It holds a month's worth of pills in each compartment and is compact and easy to store and travel with. It is very sturdy and I don't have to worry about the cap opening accidentally. The enclosed labels are a bonus, and the see-through exterior makes it easy to see how many pills are left. I keep it on my nightstand, and it doesn't take a lot of space." — TA Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors). 23. An adjustable skinny belt so when you're looking in the mirror thinking, "This outfit needs something," you'll have an extra-special something on hand ready to cinch a waist or just add some sartorial pizzazz. Promising review: "Elevates every work outfit! These are the cutest belts! I get the most wear out of the black, and it makes every pair of trousers look super chic and professional. The adjustable back is good for pants with different waists and is super comfy even after a big lunch! Also, I get compliments all the time, and some people even think it's designer haha." — Amy S Get them from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in three sizes, various colors, and packs of two). 24. A food container lid organizer with five adjustable dividers that'll house all your square and round lids in one spot so no one ever again has to ask "Where's the lid for this?" YouCopia was founded in 2009 by Lauren Greenwood and her inventor-of-a-father Mark Greenwood, and now includes a whole line of tools to make home organization a breeze. Promising review:"This is a great caddy for all of those maverick Tupperware lids that disappear like socks in a laundry room. I was able to fit quite a few into it. It comes with five separators to cordon off different sizes/shapes of lids (see photos) and consolidate two of three previous lids bins into this one. Plus, according to their card insert, the company is a small, women-owned business, which I'm always happy to support." — Bridget D. Get it from Amazon for $17.77+ (available in three sizes and in a two-pack). 25. A silky satin-lined beanie if it breaks your heart to sacrifice your hair in pursuit of a warm noggin. This unisex style glides over strands, so when it is time to step inside you won't be greeted with hair that's angry, dry, and frizzy. 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 for $14.99+ (available in nine colors). 26. A Fanola No Yellow purple shampoo to make your blonde hair look less brassy blondey. It'll help cut down on expensive touch-up hair appointments, and costs roughly half of what popular salon brands like Joico charge. Promising review:" I have used Shimmer Lights, Joico Color Balance, Redken Color Extend, and Matrix Total Results, and Fanola beats them all. It is a deep violet and is much more effective; you do not have to leave it in very long to see a noticeable change (3–5 minutes). It is drying, as is the case with 99% of purple shampoos, but I find a good conditioner and leave-in product (oil or leave-in conditioner) keeps hair hydrated. Beware on first use; it is very runny and comes out quickly — so be careful not to waste the product. The results last much longer than I noticed with previous products, allowing me to go more washes without having to use it. With using it every week to a week and a half, I am able to maintain an ashy platinum blonde that was once so hard for me to achieve!!!" — Gracie Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes) 27. A set of adjustable clip holders for instantly turning any regular bra into one you can discreetly wear with racerback tops. Now you don't have to choose between no bra and zero support or fussing with exposed straps all day. Amazon Promising review:"Genius!! Why did it take me so long to find these? I was looking for a solution to hide straps in a racerback tank but these straps do so much more than just that. Unlike the round clips that pull straps tightly to the center of your back, these straps lie flat and they have just enough give to allow the bra to still fit right and feel comfortable. Moreover, they can be used to keep bra straps from falling down all day!!! Such a great product." — MsChris Get a set of three from Amazon for $4.99 (available in nine color combos). 28. And a Shark Tank -approved timed lock box so tempting distractions are LITERALLY inaccessible for a designated amount of time — from 1 minute up to 10 days! Pre-commitment devices like this one are a scientifically backed method for combatting decision fatigue and conserving willpower so you can fly through your to-do list and still have time for that oh-so-vital R&R.
