33 Products So Useful You're Going To Want To Call Your Mom Just To Tell Her About Them
1. A daily planner with a mantra you've definitely heard from your mom after complaining on the phone: You've got this! It'll most definitely help you get your ducks in a row because you'll see your meetings for the day, what you need to get done, and even how much water you've drunk at a quick glance — because your three cups of coffee can make you a little dehydrated! Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners, pads, and drinkware. Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed, so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 15 styles). 2. Solar Buddies, a refillable, BPA-free roll-on sunscreen applicator because it's the easiest way to keep hands clean when reapplying SPF. Your mom probably spent half your childhood slathering on sunscreen and dealing with greasy hands after every pool day. So when she sees you using this *and* your hands aren't a slippery mess? She'll be floored — and immediately asking where you got it. Promising review:"Used for the first time today on my 7-year-old. For the first time in his life, he actually enjoyed having sunscreen applied to his skin! Very easy to use and not messy at all. Extremely pleased with this purchase!" — amyj Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (available in 10 colors). 3. Shark's Steam & Scrub mop that's T-H-E ultimate way to get cleaner, shinier floors without back-breaking effort, thanks to its automatic rotation — it scrubs 150 times per minute! The steam makes cleaning even the hardest, toughest, or stickiest stains so much easier. It'll be your one-stop shop for cleaning all the floors in your home because it works on hardwood, marble, tile, AND stone floors. It has three different steam modes: light for small messes, normal for everyday grime, and deep for the eyesore stains you may have neglected. Promising review: "I love this scrub mop. I had been looking for a mop to up my cleaning game, but I wanted something that was easy to use, free of chemicals, and actually made cleaning quick and easy. As a mom of three kids under the age of six, this last one was essential. I'm so impressed with how quick and easy it is to clean with this thing. I wish I had this when the kids were younger and spills and accidents were more frequent." — Samantha Forster Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in four styles) 4. A flat-laying toiletry bag so you can see everything you packed with a simple glance. It folds out wide once unzipped but packs super compactly, so you still conserve some space in your bag. Now you can easily grab what you need without having to dig around! Promising review: "My new favorite travel bag for makeup products. Has plenty of compartments for makeup and skincare. The middle has a little Velcro clear pocket that I use for brushes; this way, I don't get powder/foundation all over the bag. Folds easily, holds a lot, does not take a lot of space in a bag, so you can pack it in a carry-on or backpack." — Andra Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 23 styles and two sizes). 5. A Febreze Unstopables car freshener that your mom's old rig would appreciate, cause it's seen everything from your fast food trips as a kid to you kicking off your smelly shoes after a long day at school. It may just smell a little funky in there... Just clip this onto your AC vent so you can neutralize that and any other odor you want to hit the road. 😉 Promising review: "These are great and pretty strong. I made the mistake and tried another scent after using these, and you have no idea how much I'm still regretting it. The scent lasts long after the oil inside is done, and it hits you as soon as you open your door, without being overbearing." — camelia virgo-evans Get a pack of four from Amazon for $12.88 (available in three scents and five pack sizes) 6. A hair-removing glove to help get rid of the endless shedding while giving your furry child some pets. Reviewers say their cats *and* dogs "actually enjoy" this, so your furry friend will be less likely to sprint away when it's brushing time! Here's why BuzzFeed Shopping writer AnaMaria Glavan loves this: " The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was five, and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: This is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 7. Wet & Forget, a shower spray that'll eliminate the need to scrub — say what?! It helps rid your shower of soap scum, calcium buildup, and hardware stains, no matter how long they've been there. Just spray it, wait 12 hours, and rinse — reviewers say you'll see excellent results! Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 8. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence — its star ingredient, snail mucin, might sound like it belongs in a witch's cauldron, but it actually can help hydrate skin, heal acne, and smooth the appearance of fine lines on all skin types. People of *all* ages love this — so when you finally let your mom in on one of the most viral skincare products out there, she'll be equal parts impressed and annoyed you didn't tell her sooner. Promising review:"SNAIL SLIME?! ON MY FACE?! EW! That's what you might be thinking, but in reality, this product is AMAZING. I've been using this product for about a month, and shortly after it arrived, I had a bit of an acne breakout. Well, one zit was a painful little bugger, and it finally came to the surface. It popped and left a big, nasty red spot. After using the Advanced Snail 96 essence before bed, I woke up the next morning, and the red mark was significantly less irritated-looking. This doesn't make my acne scars and marks disappear, but it really helps reduce the redness and irritation of fresh acne marks. It is very hydrating, and a little goes a long way! Plus, I find the slimy-ness of it to be strangely entertaining." — Cat Promising review: "I'm a 60-year-old with sun damage, and it is absolutely living up to the hype. I am not big on expensive and extensive skincare routines, but I started with this product about three weeks ago, and my skin is transformed. My face is so soft and radiant, I actually ordered the toner and moisturizer, which will arrive on Tuesday. I give this a top rating." — Working Musician Get it from Amazon for $19.60 (If you're seeing "Not Competitively Priced" instead of your normal "Add to Cart" option, click on "See All Buying Options" and select the snail mucin that's sold by Cosrx). 9. A milk frother that makes your hot or iced latte so thick and frothy you'll feel like you're sipping on an overpriced one from a trendy coffee shop. This is not only cheaper than the Nespresso Aeroccino, but it's smaller and easier to clean up, too. This handheld device *doesn't* heat up milk like the Nespresso Aeroccino, btw. Promising review:"I was worried it wouldn't work well, since we got it pretty cheap on sale, but it works so well, better than our Nespresso frother!" — Janelle Promising review: "A MUST-have. 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 it comes with a cute holder." — Kayla Dillinger Get the frother with a stand from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors). 10. A candle warmer so you can get the scent of your favorite candle without an open flame. It has four different brightness levels that'll provide not only the light you want in your home but also the strength of the fragrance. Your mom will probably be confused why you placed a candle directly underneath your chic lamp, but she'll get it soon... Promising review: " I purchased this candle warmer for myself a little over a year ago. Since then, I have purchased one for my mom and grandma. This candle warmer is gorgeous. Timeless. High Quality. And although I haven't had to change the bulb yet, I'm pleased it comes with a spare :) well worth it!!!" — Justine Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 12 various colors and styles). 11. A quiet Levoit air purifier that can help trap dust, reducing the amount that builds up on surfaces — reviewers say they've seen a significant reduction! It'll make your home smell so fresh and help filter out any allergens that could also make you sneeze uncontrollably — and you *don't* want that as you scroll on the couch. Promising review: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn't want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they are able to be vacuumed, which I do about once a week, so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1200 sf Townhouse, and it works really well. I only have to dust every 3-4 weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought 2 of the smaller version of this same purifier for the 2 bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine they don't work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those rooms too. I've had all three purifiers going 24/7 for four months now, and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all, these purifiers have been very economical to use." — SuesZoo Promising review: "I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records, etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." — Charles Tweedy Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st. ft spaces from Amazon for $74+ (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 sq ft. for $49.99. 12. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, a color corrector that helps cancel out those bluish eye bags your mom always clocks with a "Did you sleep at all last night?" Now she'll be shook when your under-eyes look fresh, bright, and well-rested... even if you barely slept a wink. It'll also nourish your skin thanks to its hyaluronic acid and shea butter formula. Plus, reviewers say they like this *more* than Smashbox's Becca under-eye cream because it's thinner, doesn't settle into fine lines, and is better at brightening. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 13. A migraine relief cap for the throbbing pain in your head that makes you want to stop, drop, and roll into bed. You can either chill it in the freezer or heat it up in the microwave, depending on what soothing sensation you want. It also doubles as a sleep mask because it helps block out harsh light — which means you can get further relief from a little midday nap! Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" — TheWalkFam Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in five colors and two-packs). 14. A pack of matatabi chew sticks to help improve your cat's dental health as they gnaw on a treat. Matatabi is a Japan-native plant that works as a catnip alternative, which is perfect for your fuzz ball that has zero interest in catnip. Meowy Janes / Etsy Meowy Janes is a small business based in New Egypt, New Jersey. It specializes in catnip and catnip alternatives. BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart loves cats do: I recently tried some of these out with my cats and they were a hit! TBH, they've never really been super into catnip — they'll play with it, but they don't go wild — so I was excited to see they were into these. They bat them around, rub their faces all over them, and ultimately, when they're done, hide them under a chair or in their cat condo so they can come back to them later." Promising review:"The second I put a stick down our kitty was obsessed! Our cat loves 'chewing' so these are a great fit for him. All natural, great packaging, and quick shipping! Thank you." — kr323 15. A portable hanging luggage organizer if you identify as someone who lives out of their suitcase for the entirety of their trip because you despiseee unpacking. This streamlines the process, so all you do is lift up the organizer and attach the hooks to your room's closet rod — BOOM. DONE. Now, when you're visiting home, you can impress your mom with how fast you unpack for the week. This works with your existing luggage, unlike versions of this that come pre-built into more expensive suitcases! Promising review:"I was able to pack seven outfits and have way more space in this organizer. I just packed the clothes in the organizer, closed it up, and placed it in my carry-on. Once I got to the hotel, I just hung it in my closet. It would be perfect for cruises since there is never any drawer space and very little room to move around." — jess Get it from Amazon for $27.89+ (available in eight colors, two sizes, and several sets). 16. A pack of SweatBlock wipes — this might be the most aptly-named product ever; they truly block the sweat. They're super easy to use: dab the wipe on your underarms, let it dry for 3–5 minutes, let it sit overnight, then clean with soap and water in the morning. Once you do that, you'll be protected from excess sweat and odor for up to seven days. Each box lasts two months! Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes). 17. A Renpho percussion massager with all the cool features of the TheraGun — but for a fraction of the price. Now, the next time you tweaked your neck after sleeping on it weird, you can give yourself some soothing relief. It'll also be the perfect thing for your mom, especially if she's always asking you to give her a shoulder massage. It has five speeds, five massager heads, and a travel case, so you can always get deep-muscle treatment all over your body — even when you're at the gym! Plus, reviewers say they prefer the lowest setting of the Renpho compared to the Theragun because it's gentler! Read more about what massage guns can (and can't) do, plus how to use them, at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "We had a Theragun, and the lowest setting was so rough. Rarely used it. The Renpho massager is so much nicer, and we use it all the time! The changeable knobs are wonderful to target different areas. The handle has a really nice feel to its size and material. We have had it for over a month, and it still has three out of four charge bars. We use it every few days for 5–15 minutes. Love the case too! Really such a great buy." — Murphtime Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in seven versions). 18. The Pink Stuff — the alchemy in this stuff is next-level because it can make grease, permanent marker, grime, pen, rust, and crayons disappear on stoves, kitchen floors, jewelry, bathtubs, grills, wood, glass shower doors, AND MORE. It has 150,000 5-star reviews for a reason... just sayin'. This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in a bundle with a scrubber sponge). 19. Revlon Volcanic Face Roller with a volcanic stone to soak up the excess oil you can get on your face from just simply going about your day. ~Roll~ this over any shiny spots and watch them *POOF* out of existence. Say bye-bye to blotting sheets and powder since there's a new (and faster) oil controller in town! It's also easy to clean: Just twist and unlock the roller's ring, gently pull out the stone part, wash the stone with a gentle cleanser, rinse it off, and let it air dry before using it again! Promising review:"I was shocked! This actually works. It takes the oil away without distributing the makeup. Game changer for me. I don't know why I didn't know about this sooner." — Lesa A. Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 20. A veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer for a quick slice and (of course) chop during your time-consuming meal prep. No need to tremble in fear when your recipe calls for a diced onion because *this* can do it in seconds (without you crying). And the built-in storage container will hold everything until it's time to add your veggies to a dish. Your mom is gonna want to give this to her younger self because her chicken pot pie nights would've been SO much easier with this. The 4-in-1 model comes with two chopping blades (one with small cubes and one with larger cubes) and two spiralizer blades (a julienne cutter and a ribbon cutter). You'll also receive a finger guard, two cleaning brushes, and two cleaning scrapers. All pieces are dishwasher-safe! 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. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in five styles and four colors). 21. A standing desk anti-fatigue mat so you can stand at your desk for hours. The mat's ~ergonomic typography~ lets you switch up how you stand on it (and still feel comfortable), which squishy kitchen mats *can't* do. Reviewers with plantar fasciitis swear by this cause of its unmatched support — one person even called it a " life changer." Amazon ErgoDriven is a US-based small business specializing in workplace ergonomics. Promising review: "Really nice mat, helps with leg and back fatigue. I stand up 50 percent of the time at my desk, and I can feel the difference in the two weeks I've had this product. It seems to have the right balance of comfort and support. It is a little pricey compared to other brands, but it is very solidly made, and it appears it will last a long time. Worth the extra money, in my opinion." — Jeff Get it from Amazon for $119+ (available in three colors). Psst — you can check out a mini version for more compact spaces for $69+ on Amazon! 22. A tennis shoe cleaner reviewers say works fast to make your sneakers spotless and squeaky clean. This works on leather, suede, canvas, and MORE, so you can restore the endless collection of comfy shoes you can't part ways with. It couldn't be easier to use — just dip the included brush in water, apply the cleaning solution to the shoe, then brush and wipe away! Promising review:"I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don't go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes. Pink Miracle helped restore my daily shoes to look like I just bought them — now I can wear them for even longer. Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle." — Romario Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in three sizes). 23. A blackhead remover tool to lift up the gunk that's sitting in your pores by gliding the stainless steel spatula over your face. It has four different modes (cleaning, lifting, ion+, and ion-), all with different benefits to give your skin the glow of your dreams. If you and your mom are all about a good facial you'll want to share this — reviewers say they like to use it in between professional appointments! Make sure to first wash your face with your favorite cleanser and one of the *included* silicone heads, using the "Cleaning" and "Ion+" mode. Then, with your skin still being wet, switch to "Lifting" mode and glide the stainless steel spatula over your face at a 45-degree angle to lift up the gunk in your pores. Afterwards, use the "Ion-" mode after applying your favorite skincare products so you can maximize the benefits! Btw, each mode automatically turns off after five minutes so you don't overuse it! See it in action on TikTok! BuzzFeed Shopping writer Negesti Kaudo uses this: "I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!" Promising review:"Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can't reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." — Paige Chaney Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 24. Some TheraBreath Oral Rinse with no alcohol and no burning sensation that makes your eyes water after swishing mouthwash for three seconds... It can help fight bad breath for up to 24 hours, but make sure to use it every 12 hours after brushing and flossing for best results. Just swish a capful for a minute and gargle for 30 seconds after you're done brushing your teeth in the morning and night. Promising review:"I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deeply 4–6 hours after using it. Will definitely be buying again." — Alex Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint). 25. A pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags that can squish out all the air once it's been stuffed — aka you'll be able to fit so much more. Your mom is gonna question how you have so many outfit changes when you're visiting home and think your carry-on is a new collab with Mary Poppins. One reviewer said a small bag was able to fit six t-shirts, seven pairs of shorts, and four boxers! So, a set of these will easily fit your week's worth of clothing at that rate. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says:"HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews, I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion, I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly, all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and made a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips needed them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny." Promising review: "I travel monthly for work, usually gone for 4–5 days. Before these, I would have to check a bag. Dress shirts and pants, roll up nicely, and stay wrinkle-free. It's tempting to want to over-stuff these, but if you're packing golf shirts or clothes with 'slippery' fabric, they slide out of the top of the bag as you get close to the end. The clips take a minute to get used to, but after a couple of times zipping up the bags, it's pretty easy." — BigSkinny Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.98. 26. A hexagonal productivity timer so you can focus on tasks for 5–45 minutes before taking a break or hopping onto your next meeting. Just flip onto one of the pre-numbered sides to start the timer — or plug in however many minutes you'd like for a custom option. You can also mute the alarm if you're in the office or out in public and don't want to annoy anyone around you. Promising review:"Love love love this product. Simple design, works great. I time myself during writing sessions so I'm not sitting in long stretches. This little timer is perfectly shaped and has several pre-programmed time options. Highly recommend." — Mimi Foster Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in three colors). 27. A portable multipurpose cooler you can place in the middle seat so your kids have access to everything (and I mean everything) they want. It has two water bottle holders, side pockets (for toys, tablets, and overflow of stuff) andddd last but certainly not least, the middle is a COOLER. That means you can fill it to the brim with your child's favorite snacks so you never hear "I'M HUNGRY" when you're two hours away from civilization. Bonus: the top of this can be used as a desk for coloring! Amazon PSA: *ONLY* use ice packs (aka ice is a no-no) for up to eight hours and do not leave perishable food in it without ice packs for more than two hours in a vehicle over 85 degrees F. Promising review: "Have had this bag for about 5 years now and used it for numerous road trips. We fill the main compartment up with snacks and the pockets with a few activities, like car trip scavenger hunt cards. It's still going strong and plan to use it for an upcoming summer vacation. We do whatever we can to keep our young son content on days-long road trips and he likes to be able to access his own snacks and have an extra place to store his things. Part of the excitement of upcoming trips is filling this bin with road trip goodies that he normally wouldn't have access to." — lady.k Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in two colors). 28. A glasses lens cleaner with tiny microfibers that'll cut through fingerprints for crystal clear vision. You can use the little brush to flick off dirt or dust before wiping away smudges or oils. Your lenses will have a streak-free finish without any scratching! Amazon Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses every day and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 16 styles). 29. I Dew Care dry shampoo powder that'll fool your mom into thinking you just showered today because that hair? It's looking more voluminous with not one hint of greasiness. Just dab this ultra-fine powder into your roots, shake out the product, and style — then you're done! BTW, this is cruelty-free! It's suitable for all hair types, too. Get a look at how it's used on TikTok. Promising review: "I can finally skip a day or two between washes!! I've tried so many dry shampoos, from drug store to salon and none of them really worked for me. I can apply this product very sparingly along my part and easily skip a shampoo without being self-conscious or having an itchy scalp. Must have for oily hair." — Dino Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in six shades and in multipacks). 30. A set of Shoe Slotz so you can make the most of every square inch of that shoe rack or shelf — and practically *double* the amount of shoes on it. Now if you want to make a little purchase for new shoes, you won't have to wonder where you'll put them! Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed Check out why BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa loves these: "This product SAVED MY SHOES in my old apartment! I had an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes." Get a 10-piece set from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in a 20- and 40-pack). 31. A Dermora exfoliant foot peel if you have cracked heels, calluses, or dead skin all over the bottoms of your feet. So just slip on these booties for an hour and watch your feet shed for the next 5—7 days. You'll be GAGGED at how much skin comes off, but you'll be equally satisfied with your baby-smooth feet. Promising review:" This foot peel is THE TRUTH and got my feet right and smooth as butter! I've never done a foot peel in my life, and so I had a lot of hard skin under my foot to get rid of. I followed the instructions on the box, and decided to put on the foot peel on right before bed. You can feel the peel tingling and working while you have it on your feet so I felt relief. It took about three days after I did the peel to see the results starting. Do not get discouraged if you see peeling only at the toes. That's just the start of the next day I felt the mid of my foot arch bubble after my bath and a whole piece of skin was peeling. This peel did its job and some more! It has my feet feeling baby smooth and gave me a feeling of being in a salon without the polish. It felt good to pamper myself. This is my go-to from now on, when I want a good smooth foot AFTER a pedicure (because a pumice stone can't do what this peel can)!" — Shopinista Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five scents). 32. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" with regular and longer, thinner bristles designed to reach under the gum line for a deep clean. It can help remove stubborn food particles, like lettuce, popcorn, and sesame seeds, so you don't have to pick them out with your fingers. Reviewers even ditched their electric toothbrush for this 'cause they loved it so much! Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's what my colleague Emma Lord has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A. Get a pair from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a four-pack). 33. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil that can help control sebum, remove blackheads *and* dissolve makeup — some people are even left with visible residue on their fingertips! If you want to start double cleansing, this is the perfect first step. Double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the gunk out of your pores. Promising review: "This product is incredible. After one use, I noticed a difference. I am so impressed with it. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but I am happy it exists. If you've been buying products to get rid of blackheads and nothing is working, this will make you very happy." — A Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! it also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" — Sarah Coleman Get it from Amazon for $17.69. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

If You Wish You Could Wave A Wand To Organize And Clean Your Home, These 42 Products Are The Next Best Thing
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. Because a clean and well organized home is a gift you give to yourself. 1. A motivational daily planner to keep at your desk to take your organizational and planning skills from 'meh' to 'wow.' It'll be like having a little cheerleader by your side, rooting for you to conquer your to-do list. Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based small business established in 2012 specializing in stationery and drinkware. Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes and various styles). 2. A broom and dustpan set so you can finally retire your sad old broom with the bent bristles and dustpan that leaves behind a trail of crumbs. This one's got sturdy bristles, a clip-on design for easy storage, and — best of all — built-in teeth on the dustpan so you can clean the gunk of the broom without using your hands. When I say this is the most used cleaning tool in my house I mean it. We have two small children, and one's a toddler who's still learning how to feed himself. Meals get MESSY. Several times a day we need to clean around our dining table, and this is our go-to tool for sweeping up all the crumbs and other grossness that ends up on the floor. The teeth on the dustpan mean the broom bristles stay super clean, which means even the smallest piece of dirt (a good example is hair) still gets picked up and pushed into the dustpan. I LOVE this set! Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors). 3. Some shower shelves that stick right onto your wall, no drilling required. If you have a lot of bathing products, keep them organized (and stop cluttering your tub's edges) with these. Each shelf can hold up to 40 pounds! Promising review: "We have had this for eight plus months and it's been great. So if you're wondering if the adhesive works, it definitely does if it's applied correctly. We have a bunch of stuff in it, so the weight capacity of it is really good, and it can keep a lot of storage. It was easy to install and I like the clean look of it." — Emelie Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available with a mounted soap dish). 4. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste you can use to scrub any hard surface in your home, from ovens and appliances to tubs and tiles. With very minimal effort (aka scrubbing) on your part, this pink goo goes the distance, so you don't have to. Promising review: "Moved into this house with what must be over eight years of water scum on the shower glass — enough to make it look frosted. I had a cleaning crew come out to clean the house, and they worked for hours in the bathroom, and still couldn't get that glass clear. I thought I was just going to have to live with I remembered I bought the pink paste! I completely forgot I had it in my utility closet. I began using it, and I couldn't believe it. I'm so excited to continue on and free my bathroom of the remaining water marks! This product is a must-have" — Abigail Pafford Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 5. A 10-pack of Wonder Hangers that'll magically multiply your closet space by letting you hang several garments *vertically* instead of cramming everything onto one rod. Perfect for anyone battling overstuffed hangers just to grab a single shirt. Wonder Hanger is a small business that makes closet organization products. Promising review:" My family of three (teenage child and adult child) squeeze into a 820-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment. Closet space is high-value real estate for us. The Wonder Hanger Max has definitely maximized our closet space." — Whovian Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors and in a 24-pack). 6. A bedside caddy to store all the stuff you need when it's time to slip into bed. Never again will you be all tucked in, ready to read your book, only to realize your book or your glasses are on the dresser across the room. Promising review:"I had a nicer-looking, more expensive version of this in my cart originally. This was one-third of that price, and I'm so glad I went with this one. It's got a sturdy backing on both pieces (a piece with pockets and a piece that goes between mattresses), one large pocket closest to the bed, and three decent-sized mesh pockets. I have it between my mattress and box spring." — Danielle Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in two colors). 7. A pack of Magic Erasers for tackling the tough job of cleaning any stained surface in your home. This all-in-one product is a game changer and dissolves as it works, so the cleanup from the cleanup is minimal at best. These melamine eraser sponges are super tough on stains, but won't damage the surface underneath the stain. Promising review:"Learned about these online on cleaning blogs and tried them out — amazing! They make cleaning spots that don't improve or need seemingly hours of scrubbing clean instantly! I feel lazy using them. Some spots can't be cleaned with them, but those are rare and just too stubborn for anything and need some kind of special help." — Kindle Customer Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $12.77. 8. A wall-mounted, fog-resistant shower mirror that has three different light settings, adjustable brightness, a little shelf to hold and hooks your razors, and a squeegee just in case it does fog up. ToiletTree is a small business that specializes in bathroom products for home use. To keep it fogless, add hot water to the reservoir behind the mirror before you shower. This comes with a squeegee and a little shelf, and even rotates so you can get your best angle! Promising review:"Far and away the best fogless mirror I've used. No wiping on 'fog preventing solutions," just fill it up with hot water while you're showering, squeeze the fog away and it works perfectly every time. Love the razor storage, too. Just the absolute best." — Jonathan Fox Get it from Amazon for $34.95. 9. A pack of two leggings organizing hangers to finally put an end to the avalanche of athleisure in your closet. Each hanger holds up to 10 pairs, keeping them neatly displayed and easy to grab. Now you'll always be able to spot that *one* pair of black leggings in a sea of other black leggings! Promising review:"Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.67. 10. A Swiffer PowerMop that'll make scrubbing floors feel less like a punishment and more like a mildly satisfying chore. The pre-mixed cleaning solution cuts through grime, the absorbent pads trap gunk, and the power spray gives you that "I'm in a cleaning commercial" moment. Promising review: "Great mop when you need the job done fast. Liquid refills are easy to pop in, and you can slap on replacement mop pads in a hurry (you'll know when they need to be replaced). This mop is ideal when you get one of those 'I'll see you in 10 minutes' phone calls. Just press the release button on the handle, and a spray will shoot out at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first and squeeze it out before I start, as a damp mop works better. The floor is clean in no time and I like that I don't need to store a separate bottle of cleaner. My mom loves that it's lightweight, so she can carry it upstairs and mop the hall floors and bathroom tiles. Gladly recommend. — A. Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $29.94. 11. A pack of portable board game organizers, because your collection of board games shouldn't feel like a chaotic, high-stakes round of Tetris. These stackable bins keep your board games, card decks, and loose pieces neatly contained, and don't take up nearly as much space as the bulky boxes tabletop games come in. Bonus: The handles make it easy to grab and go for game night elsewhere. Promising review: "These have been such a huge space saver in our game closet. We put our games in these and got rid of the tattered and broken cardboard boxes. They close tight so when we grab a game everything doesn't fall out. Our kids can quickly see the pieces and read the label to grab a game to play out of the closet. We love these!" — Tawny Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in two widths). 12. A wooden cord organizer to camouflage all the wires you have shoved into that one corner near the television. This is an especially good get if you work from home and currently have a nest of cords on full display next to your monitor. LuxeDesigns is a small business that makes sustainable wood decor items for the home. Promising review: "This is a very nice box for cable management. I put it on the back of my couch for all of the various things we have plugged in, and it hides all the cords nicely. The quality is great. Keeps the cords organized well, and it's not too heavy. It has little magnets on the lid to keep it closed, but the magnets are not so strong that you can't easily open the lid with one hand." — Alyssa Fyffe Get it from Amazon for $44.97+ (available in five finishes). 13. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind, but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches! Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 14. A pair of stacked baskets so you can capitalize on any unused space in closets or literally anywhere else. They easily glide in and out, have built-in dividers, and even have handles so you can carry them from room to room. (Hey, you never know!) Promising review:"Love these in my linen closet for medicines, bandages, cosmetics, etc. All of the little items are contained, and you can adjust the dividers in each drawer to suit your needs. Drawers slide out smoothly and securely. Game changer!" — Florida32940 Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors). 15. A set of heavy-duty cord wraps that effortlessly tame your extension cords and other unwieldy cables, keeping them neatly coiled and ready to use. Amazon Promising review: "I was sick of my cords and compressor hose hanging off of and on top of my table saw. I saw these on Amazon and have (or had) some available wall space in my workshop. What a great solution!" — LrngToFly Get a six-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in other sizes and quantities). 16. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to make sure your dishwasher is clean enough to actually clean the dishes. One tab removes lime and mineral buildup, which causes streaking on glassware and water spots on ceramics. These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes. Promising review:"I always approach with a healthy dose of skepticism whenever taking advice from BuzzFeed, Tip Hero, etc. But this time I took a chance and could not be happier. I recently bought a condo that was not well-maintained, and I struggled cleaning many of the appliances. The dishwasher was caked in deposits from years of operation without proper care. Two of these pods, as suggested for heavily soiled scenarios turned back the clock. It looks brand-new inside. BRAND-NEW. The plastic, the walls, everything. For those who spend hours a week cleaning, you will be amazed by this product. 10/10 would buy again and again and I'm telling everyone I know about this." — Jason Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.59. 17. A pack of hanging vacuum bags that'll finally let you reclaim your closet from the puffer jackets, spare duvet, and other bulky space-hoggers now that winter is officially over. You just pop your clothes on the built-in hanger, zip it up, suck out the air with your vacuum, and boom — instant space. They even protect your stuff from dust, moisture, and suspicious closet smells. Promising review:"Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" — Jia Yan Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.99 + (available in four colors and a six-pack). 18. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your home's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll save so much time and energy thanks to these attachments, and can instead focus on doing what you do best: zoning out on the couch while watching the latest Netflix show. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors). 19. A dust-free sectioned tray that'll make you feel like you run a very tiny, very chic jewelry boutique out of your dresser drawer. Each tray has compartments for rings, earrings, bracelets, and other sparkly bits, so your jewelry's not just tossed in a tangled heap anymore. They stack neatly, look expensive (without actually being expensive), and will make finding the right pair of hoops feel like less of a scavenger hunt. Promising review:"I love these stackable jewelry trays. They take up less space on the dresser, but organize the jewelry remarkably well. When stacked and the top one covered, your jewelry can remain dust-free. There are more than enough holders, which are lined with a non-abrasive cloth. Well made and great for organizing." — Alot2do Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four styles and different pack options). 20. An under-cabinet drawer with a shelf on top to finally bring order to the chaos under your sink. Instead of playing hide-and-seek with your sprays, scrubs, and sponges, you can just slide this bb out and grab what you need. Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" — Brad J. Leahy Get it on Amazon for $25.87+ (also available in bronze). 21. A 100% natural multipurpose cleaner that powers through daily messes and leaves your space smelling like the very best part of the forest. Made with essential oils like spruce, juniper, and sweet orange, it cuts through grime while making antibacterial cleaning feel surprisingly luxurious. Saint Olio is a woman-owned small business out of Portland that makes all-natural aromatic cleaners and room sprays. I'm a mom to two toddlers, which means my husband and I are wiping down surfaces constantly — the dining table, their craft table, chairs, you name it. I love this cleaner because it smells amazing, it's nontoxic, and I'm not sacrificing cleanliness for safety. My kids literally eat off these surfaces, so I avoid harsh chemicals for day-to-day cleaning. This works just as well as the big-name stuff, but it's safe and smells incredible. Guests have even asked what candle I'm burning after I've cleaned. And the packaging? Genuinely pretty, so much so that I don't mind leaving it out on the counter. It's one of a few cleaning products that actually makes me want to clean. Get it from Saint Olio for $24. 23. A slim storage cart that'll fit into those super narrow spaces between your fridge or stove and your countertop. Waste no space! Promising review:"I have a very small kitchen. This little cart gives me a handy place to keep kitchen items and gives me back much-needed counter space. I like the wheels so I can easily move it out of the way." — Diane Goble Get it from Amazon for $48.98+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 24. A set of bedsheet organizers for finally putting an end to the chaotic linen closet shuffle. These handy storage boxes keep your sheets neatly folded, labeled, and easy to grab — so you're not wrestling with a tangled mess of fabric every time you need a fresh set. Promising review: "I got these because I've seen them everywhere on organization videos. They are great! There's plenty of room, and they even hold even my flannel sheets. Easy to assemble and they make my closet look so organized. Highly recommend." — Shortstack Get them from Amazon for $33.98+ (available in eight colors and in six or eight pieces). 25. A Chomp wall cleaner that comes with a baseboard duster, dry dust and wet mop cleaning pads. You will feel like such a superhero when you use this, wiping away years of dust, grime, and weird handprints you didn't even realize were that high up. Promising review:"This is a game changer, y'all! I'm awestruck! I have arthritis all over, and a limited income and this helped me clean every single wall in my bedroom in one day. I just rinsed out the yellow head in the sink every few square feet. I'm so excited and telling all my friends!" — Lou DeJesus Get it from Amazon for $39.97. 26. An underwear and sock divider insert, because you deserve to open a drawer and actually see what your options are. Gone will be the days of opening your drawers to grab some socks or undies, only to find a giant pile of indiscernible fabrics. Promising review:"I got this organizer for my daughter's drawers. I was so tired of putting her clothes away and barely closing the drawer because she had so much stuff packed into it. These organizers fit in her drawers perfectly. They came ready to go. All I had to do was zip the bottom to make it stable and put it in the drawer. I used one in her underwear drawer and the drawer looks so wonderful and organized. The compartments are a good size. I was able to get two pairs of underwear into most of the compartments. This is a sturdy organizer and a well-made product." — Kari and Kevin Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors). 27. A set of Swiffer-compatible reusable microfiber mop pads that are way better for the environment (and your conscience) than the single-use ones. Plus, they work wet or dry. When they need to be cleaned, throw them in the washing machine and they'll be good as new. They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up 100 single-use pads. Turbo Micro is a small business that makes microfiber cleaning tools. Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.66. 28. A freestanding water bottle holder for your cabinet so your vast assortment of water bottles finally gets organized. Some folks also use this for wine bottles! Promising review: " I got this after being influenced by others on TikTok and am so glad that I did. These worked great to organize and store all my tumblers. It even fit my 30-ounce cups, although they don't sit all the way down into the opening it still stores them. I could use one more of these in this cabinet to store the rest of my coozies and cups. I love the color, and these are made from thick, sturdy material that won't warp or break over time. So happy with this purchase!" — Heather Get it from Amazon for $47.99. 29. A set of translucent shelf bins so everything in your fridge has a place and is easily findable. You won't believe how much easier it will be to prepare food when everything in your fridge is organized using these. The set includes: two wide drawers, two narrow drawers, one can dispenser drawer, and one egg drawer. Promising review:"It's nice to be able to find things in the refrigerator and be able to pull out the whole tray container to see what's in the back of the fridge. I don't know if this happens to you, but I find my way to the back every so often, and come to find out a jar in the back expired a year ago. Now I can see everything and use it." — BookBroke Get a pack of six from Amazon for $36.99 (available in other pack sizes). 30. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner that's truly a miracle product. Once a week (or whenever you think your shower is gross), liberally spray it all over and then go fall asleep for the night. In the morning, spray water over the areas and watch all the grime instantly wash away. Promising review:"This product works — see the change in our bathroom floor as shown in the attached picture, with the number of applications indicated within each sub-picture. It took us three applications to fully clean up our shower! We sprayed this product after showering, while the floor was still wet, and then waited 24 hours to clean up the residues. One cannot expect immediate results (i.e. within a few hours). Rather, a clean floor takes many days. Your patience will be rewarded, though!" — J.B. Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents). 31. A pack of nonslip velvet hangers to give your closet a more cohesive look and free up some space. These are super slim and take up way less space than traditional plastic or wooden hangers, so you'll be able to hang more garments and make your closet look more tidy at the same time. Truly a miracle! Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed These hangers helped me free up so much space in my closet! I was using bulky wooden hangers before, and while I liked the uniform look, they took up way too much space. I love these velvet ones because they're also really aesthetically pleasing but take up 75% less space than a traditional wooden hanger, so my closet looks like it has less clothes in it but it's actually holding significantly more than before. I'm going to slowly replace all my hangers in every closet with these, they're that amazing. Promising review:"These hangers are amazing. They take up minimal space, are sturdy, and, best of all, the clothes don't fall down from them so it keeps everything looking neat. I have replaced all of the hangers in my closet with these hangers, and I couldn't be happier. I am pretty sure I now have double the amount of space. I love this product and would buy it again." — Vida Maars Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $16.29+ (available in nine colors and in a 30-, 50-, or 100-pack). 32. An adjustable multi-level spice shelf if you have the cabinet space for spices storage and want to make sure you utilize every square inch of it. You can use this to create rows of storage that smartly stack on top of one another, and they wrap around the sides and back of the cabinet so you can use the middle space for whatever else you need to store. Promising review:"I finally got tired of searching for the right spices in my cupboard and began searching for a solution. My spices are in a 16"-wide upper cabinet next to my stove. I love a particular brand of spice and will buy containers and refill bags to refill the bottle. My cabinet was overflowing. With this I was able to fit all my spices on the racks along with things in the middle and on the bottom. I relocated the bags that are not used but to fill the containers when empty to the shelf above so the majority of my bottles are visible! It was easy to put together and adjust the size. I love the finished organization!" — Lisa Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two styles). 33. A TubShroom for collecting the mass of hair that would normally clog your tub's drain. When the water in your shower/tub starts to drain slower than usual, pop this product out, clean out the hair it's collected, and insert it back into the drain. This thing collects all the icky loose hair neatly around it (at the bottom, so you can't see it when the TubShroom is in place), so all you have to do is wipe it off! It's super simple, yet so genius that some folks are about ready to make it their religion — read for yourself: Promising review:"The TubShroom is a life changer. To market this simply as a revolutionary bathtub strainer is to degrade the perfection of the TubShroom. People often describe their life split into ages, from childhood to college, from marriage to the birth of their children, career growth to retirement. I see my life divided into two distinct periods centered on one singular event: the gloomy, pestilent dark ages before TubShroom, and all the glorious, magnificent days thereafter. No amount of glowing, favorable adjectives will ever do justice to the magnificence of the TubShroom. These are but feeble, limiting words, which by their very nature, cannot capture the richness, splendor, and transcendent power that is the TubShroom. The TubShroom is embodied enlightenment disguised as a humble implement to avoid bathtub clogs." — Zerubba U Levi Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six colors). If you don't have a sunken-in drain that can fit the Tubshroom, Oxo makes a good universal drain protector you can get from Amazon for $11.99. 34. A heavy-duty shelving unit with a weight capacity of 350 pounds per shelf, so you'll finally have one singular place to hold all of your bulky items like small appliances or toolboxes. This is a great get if you have a garage. Promising review:"Super easy to assemble. Took me maybe 10 minutes, and I never put things together lol. Sturdy enough. Definitely put heavy stuff on the bottom. Adjust shelves as needed. Wheels don't move when locked. Great organization for garage." — Jennifer English Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in two sizes and black or chrome). 35. A set of Shoe Slotz to give your huge shoe collection a home without taking up a lot of space. Because of its clever design — it stacks one shoe on top of another — you'll save so much space *and* have a way more organized collection. Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed This product SAVED MY SHOES! I had an awkward set of built-in shelves in my old closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's wasn't much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes. Promising review:"Confession time. I am a bit of a shoe fiend. These little shoe slots have allowed me to fit way more shoes in my closet shelving (yay!) AND having them organized like this keeps my shoes much nicer — since they aren't all scraping against each other. It also helps me remember which shoes I have — since they are all visible. :) The little heel stoppers pop out every so often when I am getting shoes, which is sort of annoying, but still a 5-star purchase." — MoniqueRamsey Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in a pack of 20 and 40). 36. An Oxo Good Grips brush set because sometimes your sponge just isn't cutting it. The large brush handles grout, stove tops, and shower door tracks, while the smaller one gets into tight corners and around faucets. It even has a built-in wiper blade for clearing out gunk. The set includes two brushes: a larger one for things like grout and stovetops and a smaller one with a brush side and wiper blade side. Promising review:"Shocking! I got this at the request of a friend who was helping with cleaning. They weren't expensive, so I decided to get them. I thought they were kind of silly, I use toothbrushes if I need a small cleaning brush. No more toothbrushes for cleaning for me! These really do let you get into cracks and corners, and the bristles are stiff enough to get packed-in dirt out. And the silly squeegee on the end? Awesome. I rent, and have places in my apartment I've never been able to get clean. With these brushes and the squeegee tip, I think the apartment is finally clean of old tenants' dirt." — Laura Gail Get it from Amazon for $8.69 (also available in a grout brush). 37. A set of tiered shelves to give equal attention to everything in your pantry, from spices to oils and vinegars. Each stand has three shelves and is 2.75" deep, perfect for organizing spices, soup or vegetable cans, sauces, and more. Promising review:"I added this item to my shopping list several weeks ago and I'm so glad I finally committed to buying it. As a vegetarian, I've found that I have to add double the spice just to get a real kick in the dishes I prepare. Not to mention, making sure that I have all the spices that I'm going to need while being quarantining/social distancing. With that said, my spice cabinet was atrocious before I got these racks. And I am so happy to finally be able to grab my spices without knocking over the other ones and making even more of a mess. I didn't know something so small and plain could bring me so much joy. Buy it now! You will not be disappointed." — Arie M. Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 38. A 100% natural oven scrub kit for keeping your oven clean, especially if it's in constant use. Don't get a headache spending all day using a toxic oven cleaner, it's just not worth it. Amazon Everneat is a small business based in Connecticut that makes natural cleaning products and tools. Promising review: "I've been trying to clean my nasty oven door for the past five years. Tried everything I could find, but it remained an embarrassing mess. Ten minutes of moderate scrubbing yesterday with Oven Scrub and it was 90% clear. Another five minutes today and it looks like new. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." — Andy Bea Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two scents or unscented). 39. A sleek magnetic stove shelf that converts that awkward space on top of your stove into a little ledge. It's perfect for holding everyday cooking items like spices and olive oil, or all those random spices you'll need to make Mom's world-famous chili. Amazon StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves. Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action. Promising review:"This was such an awesome buy! I don't like things on my counter and it was very important for me to have these items at arms reach! I LOVE THIS STOVE SHELF! I'm glad I saw it on TikTok!" — Yesenia Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three finishes and three sizes). 40. A pack of two transparent dividers so you can get the most out of the shelving in your closet. Sweaters, pants, T-shirts, and other foldable items can be sorted into specific areas instead of being piled into drawers. Promising review: " These dividers have changed my life! I put them on the top shelf of my clothes closet and divide sections into the type of clothes I want. One section has blue jeans, another section has black pants, another section has lightweight summer pants, and I can see everything just looking up at the shelf. My closet is no longer a mess, and the top shelf above the hanging clothes is no longer the place where I just throw things and can't keep track of them. I never knew what was up there, but now I do! As I said, I just bought a second set of them for my second closet." — Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in clear, black, or white and in packs of two, four, six, or eight). 41. A robot mop and vacuum combo that's basically the GOAT of cleaning. It vacuums, it mops, it empties itself, and it even scrubs its own mop pads. Yes, it's a splurge, but if you want floors that stay clean without constant effort, this little machine gets it done. Samar Hadri / BuzzFeed This robot vacuum and mop can even be controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri! My colleague Samar Hadri has this and swears by it: " I love this mop/vacuum combo! I despise chores (as most people do), and as a busy mom of an infant who also works full-time, keeping on top of cleaning is a lot harder than it seems. Between washing and sterilizing bottles, whipping up meals, and tidying up, I literally find I don't have enough hours in the day for vacuuming or mopping. And then I got this baby. All I have to do is click a single button on the app or activate it via my Google Assistant (I named my robot Squidward, so I can say, "Squidward, start mopping"). The first thing it did was map my home (pictured above), and then it started out the clean cycle. It moped my tile, and once it sensed a rug, it switched to a vacuum, so my precious carpet was spared! I was amazedddd to see how well it cleaned up my floors! Plus, it totally did not crash into any furniture (and with an infant, trust me, there's a lotttt of furniture and gadgets strewn all over the place)!! It's a bit loud when it's emptying itself out, but otherwise, the actual cleaning portion of it is fairly quiet. Altogether, Squidward has proven himself to be an absolute time save for me. I highly recommend!" Get it from Amazon for $699.99 (also available in white). 42. And a gaming controller stand so everyone in your house (including you) stops leaving gaming controllers on the couch, floor, or in random drawers. It has three adjustable tiers that swivel, so you can neatly perch all your gear — controllers, headphones, handheld consoles — like tiny trophies on display. Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed This small but mighty stand has made my life so much easier, and I'm not being dramatic. I have two little kids, including one especially grabby toddler, and we run everything through a PlayStation: TV, movies, streaming, gaming — you name it. So the controllers are in constant use and used to be constantly missing. My kids loved to grab them, press every button, or stash them in mystery locations. It was chaos. Sometimes we'd hide them ourselves to keep them out of reach, then forget where we put them. This stand solved all of it. Now the controllers have a dedicated home, the kids can't reach them, and bonus: it actually looks really good. I'm a huge fan. Get it from Amazon for $21.91+ (available in white or black).

The 83 tote bags on my closet floor are shaking. Promising review:"I have recently gotten more and more purses and needed a way to organize them better and this was a great solution. It is easy to take purses on and off, and it looks cute in my closet too. The hanger is very sturdy, and it is lightweight when empty. I like that I can see all my purses in one place, and the hanger will turn a little as well so you can easily grab which one you want. It added great organization and better functionality to my closet." — Emma Stokes Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors and multipacks). 4. An adorably encouraging daily planner you can fill out throughout the course of each day to keep yourself on track for all your calls, goals, and even your water intake.

Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware. Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in four styles). 5. A set of two traceless adhesive shelves for your bathroom or kitchen that *don't* require any drilling or complicated installation other than sticking it straight to the wall. A chic and easy home fix?? Ugh, we lazy folks love to see it. Promising review:"I saw this on TikTok and had to try it. I love it. I have one in the shower and the other on the bathroom wall holding all the stuff normally on the sink. 10/10 recommend." — Sonia Get it from Amazon for $30.49+ (available in four colors). 6. A set of feather-light, super durable compression packing cubes you can use to significantly decrease the bulk of your clothing to save space on trips. This particular set is a cut above the others because it comes with a mesh outside that allows you to see what's in each bag without popping them all open to find something. Pro-tip: When you use compression packing cubes, it's more effective to lay them flat than to roll them! It helps with the compression (and keeps your clothes from getting too wrinkled). Promising review: "These packing cubes helped to keep my clothing organized in my suitcase. They compressed my items and gave me a little more room in suitcase. They are mesh construction so you can see what is inside. Easy zippers. Expandable. Sturdy." — Mary Get a set of six from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 7. Or a portable hanging luggage organizer for the ultimate lazy unpacker hack — all you have to do is pack your clothes in this, fold it into your suitcase, and then magically unfurl it in a hotel closet for access to all your stuff. Guess who's going to be the first one to the hotel pool after check in??? (You. It's you.) Bonus: This works with your existing suitcase, unlike versions of this that come pre-built into more expensive versions! Promising review:"I was able to pack seven outfits and have way more space in this organizer. I just packed the clothes in the organizer, closed it up, and placed it in my carry on. Once I got to the hotel, I just hung it in my closet. It would be perfect for cruises since their is never any drawer space and very little room to move around." — jess Get it from Amazon for $27.89+ (available in eight colors and several sets). 8. A hanging tool organizer for all those odds and ends you perilously shoved into your closet, hoping for the best. Free up all that space on the ground and let those cleaning supplies hover on the wall or the inside of a closet door instead! Promising review:"We live in a tiny apartment and need vertical storage since we don't have a pantry or living room closet. This allows us to keep our cleaning instruments in the house while saving space." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in four sizes and in five colors). 9. A cabinet door organizer so you can really flex some "I've got my life together" vibes when you open a cabinet and pull out the aluminum foil without pulling eight of its friends out with it. Promising review:"This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." — Kerry Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 10. A purse organizer insert for anyone who is committed to the ~tote bag~ lifestyle, but doesn't love digging through them like a feral raccoon. Another perk? If you're switching out your purse, all you have to do is slide the organizer out and pop it in with all your stuff raring to go. Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that). Promising review: "Lightweight but sturdy, never collapsed in the bag. Perfectly fit in my tote. Red color makes it a lot easier to find my stuff. Worth the price." — Grace Vuluvala Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors). 11. A slim organizer tray for your cutlery to save you so much drawer space that you'll feel like you just opened an extra pocket in the universe. No more jamming the messy drawer shut and praying it stays that way, y'all! Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart has to say about it:"I bought this about a year ago and I'm a little embarrassed about how often I think about it. For the first week we owned it, my boyfriend and I both commented daily on what a smart design it is, how much room it freed up in our drawer, and how we wished we knew about it sooner. If you — like me — are at that stage in your late 20s where practical, problem-solving products put a ridiculously wide smile on your face, I'm sure you'll love it." Promising review: "New way to organize your silverware that has a sleek design. TikTok made me buy this! It's a perfect design to not have as much clutter in your drawer. Great for ADHD people to see exactly what silverware is in which slot with the tiny pictures indicating a knife, a spoon, a fork!" — Haley Lutz Get it from Amazon for $8.89. 12. Puppington's 3-in-1 Crossbody Bag that's the hot ticket item for dog owners — this chic bag functions as a purse, a treat dispenser, AND a poop bag dispenser, which will make you the most fashionable, functional pet owner on the block. Amazon This was featured on Oprah's Favorite Things for 2024 — check out more of Oprah's picks on Amazon's gift shop! Puppington is a small business that specializes in pet accessories. Promising review: "We are training our puppy, and I needed a fanny pack with a sizable and easy-to-clean treat pouch. It matches her collar that we have too. I can easily fit my phone (iPhone 14 pro), house keys, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and anything else I need to grab. The separate pocket for treats has a great, easily wipeable liner and fits DAYS worth of training treats. The dog poop bag holder is the best addition! High quality that doesn't feel like it's going to just fall apart." — Mallory Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in nine colors). 13. A weekly pill organizer designed with push-through silicone lids to easily organize your pills at the beginning of the week, meaning you don't have to spend a bunch of time rooting through pill boxes and trying to remember the timing of them each morning. Amazon Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure, but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues. Promising review: "Love this thing!!! The little slots to push in pills is fantastic and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one days worth of pills, set it on my counter and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" — Chicken McNugget Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four colors). 14. A magnetic folding pill organizer with conveniently visible pill windows for easy access. Each has six small compartments for little pills, plus a large compartment for capsules and vitamins, making it ideal for trips where you might need a lil' emergency pharmacy in your backpack but don't want to take up space. Promising review:"I purchased this because I saw them all over TikTok. As someone with chronic illness I honestly carry around like 10 different pill bottles for 'just in case' situations. This little pill box is a great size, I love that it's magnetic and each little compartment fits a good amount of pills. It won't fit a ton of Tums if that's what you're looking for, but the amount of space this has saved in my bag is amazing!" — Jasmin Salas Get it from Amazon for $8.59. 15. An RFID-blocking crossbody phone wallet perfect for anyone who has a chronic case of ~travel bug~ — this is an easy, hands-free way to keep all your belongings safe, plus have quick and easy access to them at all times. (Listen, you never know when you're going to need to make an emergency gelato purchase!!) Claasico is a small business that specializes in wallet and tech accessories. Promising review: "Loved everything about it. Only problem is I can never find my purse since it isn't necessary 99% of the time. Hands-free carrying is great, and it can even fit a pen, stylus, and checks in with my phone. I can also attach my keys! This is a great purchase. Shoppers at stores have asked me where did I buy it because they wanted one too." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.92+ (available in nine styles). 16. An over-the-door stuffed animal organizer so the next time you're all, "CLEAN YOUR ROOM I AM BEGGING YOU," the kiddos can have a blast racing to get all their beloved plushies off the floor and in their little pocket homes. Promising review:"Awesome quality, and HUGE! I've wasted money on cheaper versions of this and now I know I won't go back. Really sturdy, and holds more than you expect. Using in my sewing room for fabric, interfacing, and batting and it works like a charm. Going to order another one for my other closets because this was inspired me to use it everywhere. Also the free stickers were a cute bonus!" — Alexis Crumer Get it from Amazon for $28.95+ (available in nine colors). 17. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" to keep everything steady and organized when you are one silly little beverage away from accidentally turning your couch or bed into a LaCroix swamp.

I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 18. A magnetic key holder/mail organizer as a catch-all for all your "on my way out the door"–related nonsense. This has sturdy hooks for your keys, umbrellas, and sweaters, and plenty of room up top for your sunglasses, cheeky accessories, and mail. Amazon You can also mount this to the wall with the included screws or some strong double-sided mounting tape if you don't have a magnetic surface! Promising review: "Just moved to an apartment and didn't want to put a key holder into the wall. Just slapped this on my metal entry door, and now my keys, shoe horn, sunglasses, and whatever else I might need are right on my door, just grab and go. Holds a lot without sliding." — Lolawiggles Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in silver and black). 19.

A set of see-through panel large capacity storage containers so when you're pulling things out every season, it doesn't feel like a messy game show where you're like, "Surprise! ... The *wrong* giant bag of clothes I was trying to pull down from this very tall shelf!" Promising review: "Best TikTok find for storage. These are the best storage bags/containers I have bought. So much so that I reordered and got three more not too long ago. One of them holds all the items from my six-drawer dresser, which included everything from tank tops to heavy sweaters and crewnecks. I also use it to hold my seasonal shoes, extra blankets, and yes, even more clothes! Since reordering, I now have six but I am only currently using four. They are machine washable and good to go in the dryer on low heat. Overall, it is worth the purchase!" — Harley Get a set of three from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three colors and various sets). 21. A four-piece sock and underwear organizer to spare you the indignity of rooting around your dresser drawers every morning looking for that one! specific! bra!! that is *definitely* in there somewhere. (The comfy one, to be clear.) Promising review:"I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! At just $15 for four organizers, I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I wear a 32D,D and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before.

Blackwell Get a four-pack from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in seven colors and in two sizes). 22.

Bonus: This bb is an excellent way to prevent touching a germ-y tray, and it's fully machine washable. Amazon, Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves! Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 24. A front seat organizer complete with two extra drink holders and a lil' spot for odds and ends like keys or your phone or hand sanitizers. Reviewers without drink holders swear by this chic option that fits seamlessly into their car's layout. Honestly, even if you already have cupholders, some of us are Beverage People and need as many as we can get!! Promising review: "Most awesome thing I bought 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 a dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" — 2019 Get it from Amazon for $21.84+ (available in six colors). 25.

Amazon YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Check out a TikTok of the water bottle organizer in action.

A fully waterproof tricked out travel backpack complete with *deep breath* two laptop sleeves, a shoe compartment, a secret anti-theft pocket, a USB charging port, and a "wet bag" to keep sweaty clothes or liquids away from your tech. Oh, and it's cute as a BUTTON to boot. Who gave this backpack the right to flex on other backpacks this hard??? Promising review:"I recently took a cross-country flight with my three kids. I really didn't want to worry about checked bags getting lost so maximizing our carry-ons was a priority. This backpack fit an unfathomable amount of stuff! Lots of zippers and compartments for everything from shoes to laptops/iPads, easy access compartments for cell phones and boarding passes, I fit tons of neatly folded clothes. The best part was that fully loaded it easily slid under the seat." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes and 30 styles). 27. A hanging cosmetic bag whose motto is "No beauty product left behind!!" This clear-pocketed compact bag fans out so you have all your beloved makeup and skincare at your disposal, converting any hotel bathroom into home sweet home. I will scream this thing's virtues on every corner of this earth. I used this on an eight-day international trip. It fit a veritable arsenal of products — all of my skincare, makeup, hair supplies, toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant were wedged in the different pockets, and still compacted easily and went right into my carryon backpack. It made setting up at the hotel a two-second process of hanging it up and having all my products instantly accessible to me and easy to put away. I cannot imagine traveling without it, especially now that I've used it on a multi-city trip where it was so handy to fold back up and take through multiple hotels. At one point, I forgot to properly close a lotion, and it exploded a bit, and the bag was super easy to clean from the inside! Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors). 28. An adjustable two-tier "Spicy Shelf Deluxe" to optimize your cabinet space so thoroughly that you will feel like you live in a veritable spice kingdom (in the least Dune way possible). This will organize up to 64 spices and support 40 pounds at its widest point, but can expand and contract to fit any cabinet. Promising review:"I finally got tired of searching for the right spices and began searching for a solution. My cabinet was overflowing. With this, I was able to fit all my spices on the racks, along with things in the middle and on the bottom. I relocated the bags that are not used but to fill the containers when empty to the shelf above so the majority of my bottles are visible! It was easy to put together and adjust the size. I love the finished organization!" — Lisa Get a set of two shelves from Amazon for $29.99 (also available with spices included). 29. A set of Command spray bottle hangers you simply adhere to the inside of a cabinet door for easy storage, making it super easy to grab your cleaning products without a bajillion of them falling at your feet. Promising review: "Love these! They have helped organize all my products underneath my kitchen sink. The Command hooks are strong and nothing has budged even with the weight of the spray bottles! Highly recommend." — Talayfor87 Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.39. 30. A popular pan shelf to instantly organize all those cabinets that are basically just an unhelpful void of space you keep shoving things into and hoping they don't fall back out on your feet. Amazon Promising review:"Totally bought these because of TikTok but I love them! They are exactly what I never knew I needed. Very easy to set up and help keep my cabinets organized so I can always find what I am looking for right away without having to take everything out of my cabinet to get to it." — Joni Thomas Get it from Amazon for $18.97 (available in three finishes). 31. A car dashboard anti-slip pad designed to be sticky enough that nothing will ever slide off that surface again — I'm talking phones, GPS screens, baby mirrors, glasses, or even just cute little accessories to liven the place up. It's like having a lil' sticky trap for your stuff right in your car. Promising review: "A perfect catch-all! Purchased this for my son to put on his dashboard to catch things when he gets into his car — he tosses his wallet and and his phone up there. The product doesn't leave a sticky residue on anything and it's been in a hot car, and I have seen no significant wear down. Very durable very stable. Excellent value. I'm so happy with the performance and fit of this." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $8.39+ (available in five styles). 32. A plastic bag dispenser to prevent that deeply irritating traffic jam of all the different boxes you squished into your kitchen drawer — now you can consolidate them all in this one nifty gizmo, which you can settle in a drawer or on the counter for easy access. Check out a TikTok of the plastic bag dispenser in action. Psst — these come with optional sticker labels so you know which size bag you're grabbing! YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review:"I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three-, four-, or five-slot models). 33. An attachable elastic laptop accessory belt you'll especially love if you work remotely or freelance — instead of rooting around your bag to find all your supplies every time you post up somewhere, you'll have them sitting pretty on top of your laptop. Truly nothing like a "look, I have my life together" flex at Starbucks on a Tuesday morning. Amazon Beblau is an Italy-based, family-owned small business specializing in products for digital nomads. Check out a TikTok of the laptop belt in action. Promising review: "This product is a lifesaver for a teacher on the go. I use it for my iPad Pro and my school issued laptop. I no longer drop things as I move place to place! Just the basics will fit, pen, cards, small writing tablet." — Elementary Techy Teacher Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). 34. An investmentworthy airtight pantry-organizing container set so you can not only organize the horror show that is your pantry, but keep all your goods fresher *way* longer. Promising review:"These are wonderful containers to fill and store in your pantry, cupboard or on the counter. Easy to clean and hand dry. Keep the lid on and the air button down for the best freshness. They can stack too!" — Jamie Fingal Get a set of five from Amazon for $46.75. 35. "Plaud," an AI voice recorder and notes generator that's basically a personal assistant that fits in your pocket. This gadget not only transcribes audio from meetings in real time, but uses ChatGPT to create summaries, minutes logs, and to-do lists based on the audio. Now, those meetings that couldn't be emails can get condensed into one! Amazon, This is also an EXCELLENT tool for students who want to summarize lectures! Promising review: "Love this product! Very user-friendly, and the app is easy to navigate. Can transcribe and summarize meeting notes in a couple of minutes and allows you to choose what layout (meeting notes, transcript, mind map) you would like. Allows you to edit notes if needed and replay the meeting. This handy device can record phone calls. Just place it in the holder and attach to your phone, and switch the button to the phone option for those on-the-go phone conferences. Very helpful and convenient!!" — Rachele Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in two colors). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

37 Essential Products For Anyone Working From Home For The Foreseeable Future
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 · If you're like me and have been working from home for years now, it's probably time to upgrade your office space. 1. A motivational daily planner that's designed with un-dated pages, so you can use it whenever you'd like and keep track of the days you're feeling extra chaotic. Each sheet also includes areas for you to take notes on water intake, fitness goals, achievements, gratitude, and even the occasional doodle! My sister swears by these planners, and she's a Capricorn, so you know she means business when it comes to being organized. Each planner is created with 50 tear-off sheets. Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight styles). Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based small business that offers a range of stationery and other homegoods. 2. A wireless keyboard and mouse set if you work from home and want to bring a *very cool* aesthetic to your DIY office. It makes an almost cartoonish but very satisfying clacking sound that absolutely makes it seem like you're Jim Carrey typing in Bruce Almighty. And who's to say you aren't hard at work?! Check out a TikTok of the keyboard in action. BTW, the mouse and keyboard require AA batteries! Promising review:"Absolutely amazing keyboard. Colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting on their own to come in now after seeing mine. Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well. Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quick, but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse and it's on again. I have had mine for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style!" — Nikki Bell Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 13 styles). 3. An electric mug warmer for anyone who frequently brews a hot cup of java or tea and then sits down to work, completely forgetting about it. This will help keep your hot beverages HOT even hours later when you finally have time to actually drink them! BTW, some reviewers suggest turning the heat to medium once you're halfway done with your drink, so it stays a comfortable temperature! Check it out on TikTok! BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes wishes she had bought it sooner: "After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long. (Because yes, I'm one of those people who'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!) I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for using with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concave-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person." Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles, five colors, and as a set with a mug). 4. An adjustable standing desk designed with a convenient electronic motor so you can seamlessly transition to standing up if sitting down for too long tends to make you less productive. The height can be adjusted from 28 inches to 47.6 inches, and each desk is created with an industrial-grade steel frame and solid wood desktop that can hold up to 154 pounds. Promising review:"The sit-to-stand option is amazing, and I'm so happy with my desk. I lead video conferences all day, so the option to sit or stand has made working a breeze. No more back/neck soreness or feeling 'blah' after a long day of sitting. I got the slightly larger size and am glad that I did. It gives me space for double monitors, keyboard, and any papers I need to have in front of me. Overall, I'm a satisfied customer and recommend this desk to anyone who wants to make the switch to standing desks on a budget!" — Sasha K. Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in six sizes and nine colors). 5. Orrrr, if you love your current desk, a sit-to-stand converter that sits right on top! It's designed with a pneumatic lift assist, so you don't have to manually adjust the converter or move anything just to switch things up. Here's what BuzzFeeder Courtney Lynch has to say: "About a year into working remotely due to the pandemic, I finally decided it was time to invest in a standing desk for my home office. I already had a desk I wasn't ready to part with, so I bought this sit-to-stand desk converter. Let me tell you, this has changed my WFH experience for the better. The desktop area is large enough for my laptop, external monitor, Bluetooth speaker, and a few other items. The desktop can hold up to 33 pounds, and the keyboard tray can support up to 4 pounds. The pneumatic lift assist feature lets you adjust the height between 4.5–20 inches in one smooth motion that won't strain your back." Promising review: " This has made life SO MUCH BETTER!!! I hate sitting down all day, hunched and reaching for my keyboard and mouse. While I'm sitting down, this helps correct poor posture. When I need to stand/move a bit, I can lift it up and work standing! This is a great invention and is very sturdy." — Andrew Drozdowski Get it from Amazon for $135.99+ (available in seven sizes and nine colors). 6. *OR* this portable laptop riser if you tend to work from your couch and/or coffee table most days, so your favorite 20-plus season drama can play in the background while you respond to emails. This stand can be used while sitting or standing and is suitable to hold a lot of different tech from 10-inch tablets to 17-inch gaming laptops! Promising review: "I was literally shocked at the solid construction of this stand right out of the box. Most things nowadays are not crafted with love and are made very cheaply. Wow. This product is worth every dollar. Amazing craftsmanship. Looks great too! Very strong and sturdy. If you're looking for a high-quality stand, you've found it. Buy it." — ARH Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three metal finishes). 7. A Rocketbook smart reusable notebook — it's earned over 52,000 5-star ratings for how convenient it is compared to having a stack of half-filled notebooks. With this, you can use the app to scan and send your pages immediately after writing them to cloud services like Slack, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and more! Imagine not having to pore through a notebook's worth of meeting notes and instead refer to your convenient electronic file! Promising review:"This is such a neat item. It's so nice to be able to take notes and not have a million sticky notes around or a ton of notebooks. Had no trouble setting up one icon to email my notes to and I set up another to send to myself in the iMessage app. A standard Pilot Ballpoint pen will NOT smudge in the least (and can be 'erased' using an alcohol prep pad!). Also have found that the Pilot Frixion gel pens write beautifully and erase cleanly!" — cjsbabygirl Get it from Amazon for $27.10+ (available in two sizes and 16 colors). 8. A ventilated cable management box, so you can put all those tangled cords out of sight without having to rearrange all your electronics. Trust me, you'll be so grateful to not be tripping over cords every time you walk into your office. Amazon Promising review:" A must-buy product for your messy home or office. Exactly what I was looking for to help save space and hide my cable cords." — Andrew Olson Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 9. A 360-degree rotating headphone holder, which is a serious game-changer if you like to wear over-the-ear headphones to vibe out or tune into team meetings at work. With this, you can easily store your headphones under or on the side of your desk so they don't end up misplaced! I have these and I love them, TBQH. Currently, I am using mine to hold my over-the-ear headphones on my bookshelf, but I have previously used them to hold my embroidery bag (which it did!), the ring for my Nintendo Ring Fit game, and even a camera bag. It would also probably be great for storing extra-length of cords when not in use! Promising reviews:" This is worth more than its cost. The mount actually comes with an extra sticky pad so if you choose to remove/move the mount to somewhere else, you can do at your own leisure. The quality of the material doesn't feel too cheap, and it's quite sturdy. We've bumped into it a couple of times, but it hasn't broken or anything. The mount is extremely versatile in its flexibility and possible mounting options. Best I've seen out of other compact options (that aren't gaming headphone stands that take desk space)." — Forest Nguyen "I have a white desk and a light gray chair, and this headphone hanger matches the design perfectly. The quality and simple hinged design is brilliant. The adhesive is very strong, provided you clean the surface before applying and let it cure for 24 hours before hanging anything on it." — Henry Ting Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in black and white). 10. A keyboard cleaning gel — if you don't have crumbs in your keyboard or on your desk space, please share your secrets with the rest of us remote workers! But if you do, this reusable gel can be pressed onto the keyboard to get deep between the keys to get ahold of all those crumbs, dirt, and even dust blocking your keys from functioning at their absolute best. Promising review:"Working from home like a lot of people I eat at my desk. Crumbs were getting everywhere. Plus my cat loved to lay on my keyboard if I was using my laptop. It does such a great job of getting fur and crumbs up. I used a little bit at first because some of the reviews were saying it was sticking. But I didn't have that problem at all. It only now it's sticking to my keyboard and hands more. But that makes sense it's just a glob if junk. So much better than an air can. A must-have for all office desks." — Ashley Get it from Amazon for $5.91. 11. A TikTok-viral padded office chair, which features a seat wide enough for you to sit crisscross or with one leg up, along with an adjustable height an ergonomic cushioned back. Check it out on TikTok here! As a bigger person, it can be hard to find a chair that I trust to hold all my weight without collapsing that is *also* comfortable and affordable. THIS CHAIR IS IT. I love this chair. I wish I worked in my home office more, just so I could sit in this chair (but my couch is fantastic LOL). When I teach for hours at a time and days at a time, this chair comes in handy because I can comfortably sit with one leg crossed underneath me. I love it, and everyone I know who has visited me and sat in this incredible chair also loves it. Promising review:"Buy this chair. I've bought so many office chairs over the years. The classic Goldilocks story: This one's too bulky, this one's too flimsy, that one has too much hard plastic, yada yada. I think this one might be it. Really comfortable, solid build, attractive, but the best feature is the wide seat. I can crisscross my legs easily to relieve the pressure in my hips, which is life-changing if you're chained to your desk sitting in meetings all day." — Larissa Harrison Get it from Amazon for $152.99+ (available in five styles). 12. OR an ergonomic kneeling chair made to help keep your spine aligned while you sit at your desk all day, so you don't clock out and spend all your free time looking up different remedies for lower back pain. 😩 Amazon It's designed to hold up to 250 pounds. Read more about how ergonomic chairs can help at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I'm a 225-pound solid dude; back was killing me. Got this chair. Took me a week or so to build up the muscles in my shins to get used to the new weight distribution; my pain is GONE. Love this chair; plan on getting a fancier one down the road, but I'm very happy with this." — AHR_Artist Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors). 13. A 24-inch monitor, so you can finally experience the wonder of having TWO screens instead of using just your laptop. Keep Slack and your email open on one screen while you complete your work on the other so you don't miss a single notification even when you're in the zone! It boasts a 75Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution, making it perfectly suitable for gaming (SIMS on two screens? Yes please!). It also is designed with two HDMI ports for connecting, and if you have a MacBook, make sure you nab a USB-C hub! Promising reviews: " If you work from home, you must have this in your life! Super easy to set up, great packaging, great quality, great price. I absolutely LOVE this!" — RR "Just set this monitor up, and so far it's earned all 5 stars! It was easy to assemble, it's compatible with my MacBook Pro (with a USB-C adapter), and the picture is great! I just wanted another monitor for when I work from home, so having something available that was affordable like this was perfect for what I needed." — Allison H. Get it from Amazon for $77.97+ (available in four models). 14. An undated planner journal that allows you to plan your days / weeks / months on your schedule, instead of getting mad at yourself for forgetting to fill out a week or two when things get super busy (hello Q4!). This planner allows you to plan out your schedule when you need it most, which means it'll actually last longer than a regular-degular planner. You can also customize this planner to display your own name or simply change the title of the planner from "Daily Planner" to something like "Goal-Getter" or "Productivity Pages," etc. Get it from Papier for $35 (available in 13 colors and in over 150 different designs). 15. A flexible power strip, which is ready for action with three outlets, two USB ports, and a five-foot extension cord, so you can pretty much place it anywhere, no matter the interior design of your home. Seriously, it can wind its way around the legs of furniture or through nooks and crannies, without sacrificing any function! Promising reviews:"I saw this on TikTok, so I ordered one. I absolutely love it. Everyone needs one in their life." — Dani Jo Stengsar "I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" — Pond P. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors). iJoy is a small business creating unique and functional tech accessories. 16. A USB-powered LED light strip to arrange behind your computer screen and add ambient light to your WFH space. It'll also help reduce eye fatigue and prevent headaches, which will definitely happen when staring at a bright screen for eight hours a day. They even come in multicolor options with remote-controlled lighting, so you can switch up the lights with your mood! Promising review:"I have procrastinated in writing this review and am actually happy to say that after a year, the product is continuing to stay strong. The adhesion is as strong as it was on day one, and this product is continuing to meet and exceed expectations. I have noticed significantly less eye strain. If I were needing computer monitor backlighting again, I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase." — college_engineer Get it from Amazon for $3.79+ (available for monitors up to 80 inches). 17. A much-needed lap desk if you'd much rather work from the comfort of the bed or couch. This offers enough room for a laptop and a mouse (!!!), while also having a convenient phone dock and wrist rest that'll definitely come in handy when trying to hit a deadline before EOD. Promising review:"Bought this for my daughter in college. She loves to do school work on her bed. She says this desk is a 'game changer.'" — s uper awsome person Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in four colors). 18. A pair of blue light–blocking glasses, which can help reduce eye strain and headaches that come from looking at screens for waaaaay too long. These are great for anyone working from home, people taking online classes, or anyone who likes to game for hours after their work is done! Read more about the effects of blue light and eye strain at UC Davis Health and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Promising review:"Love these blue light glasses! I usually wear contacts and like the freedom of being able to take these off without going blind throughout the day (my prescription glasses have blue light coating too but I don't always want to wear them all day long). The style is so cute (love the tortoiseshell!) and they're super comfortable. This brand always delivers. Highly recommend!!" — Molly Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors). WearMe Pro is an Arizona-based, family-owned small business offering a selection of affordable and trendy eyewear. 19. Plus, a unique display stand designed in a whimsical style, so you can stop forgetting where you put your readers or blue light-blocking glasses. Ummmm, need it! Promising review:"Kept misplacing my glasses in my home office, and this has been the perfect fix. It's small and doesn't take up too much space. It's sturdy and holds my glasses in place." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 11 styles). 20. A jumbo printed desk pad that adds a splash of color to your workspace while also covering up any coffee stains or scratches that you don't even remember creating. It's large enough to host your laptop, keyboard, monitor, and/or mouse, and you'll be able to effortlessly move your mouse around on its smooth surface! Promising review:"I really like this mat — I've had it for several months now, and it hasn't faded or scuffed at all. Makes my basic office cubicle desk a little prettier and does the job I really needed it for — to soften the surface of my desk because I hate the way my mouse sounds without a mousepad. Several coworkers have complimented the design and asked for the link!" — AliB_Art Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 43 prints). 21. A USB-powered laptop cooling pad with three fans to help keep your laptop from sounding like it will explode at any moment just because you've been hard at work for HOURS and one more internet tab might be its breaking point. 😳 Promising review:"This works extremely well. My laptop's fans used to scream to the point it would make you scream into your microphone just to talk to your friends on Discord. With this product that diminished, and I don't have to worry about the fans kicking up that loud ever again...I fully recommend this product just as it was recommended to me by a friend with a similar laptop problem. I honestly don't ever see this product failing to support my demands." — Kaleb Urquhart Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in three colors). 22. An acrylic wall calendar and notes board, so you can create the most beautiful and organized command center anyone has ever seen. Whether you mount this in your office, the hallway, entryway, or kitchen — you and the entire household can easily keep track of the date, deadlines, upcoming projects, and more without any hassle! Wayfair Promising review: "Obsessed with this recommend buying some metallic dry erase/chalk markers if used on a dark wall. Goes so well with my Martha Stewart home office set!" — Danielle Get it from Wayfair for $61.73 (originally $84.90; available in black and gold). 23. A space-saving ladder desk just perfect for anyone who prefers a minimalist aesthetic or needs to set up a WFH office in a tiny (or crowded) apartment. It might not be as comfortable as your bed has been, but this bookcase-style desk allows you to be productive without having to take up an entire room's worth of space to do so. Promising review:"I had this blank corner in my living room, and I just knew this ladder desk would be a gorgeous addition to the area. I don't have an extra room for an office or even the kind of space in our small home to designate to a bulky desk. It was very easy to assemble. It took maybe 25 minutes to put together. I love having my own spot to get my work done on my MacBook. Plus, this spot is perfect to work on any crafts/DIYs. I added a pouf seat instead of a chair just to save even more space since it easily slides underneath the desk. Anyway, I'm so stoked about this purchase! I highly recommend it." — Heather Nicholson Get it from Amazon for $134.99+ (available in two colors and sets of two). 24. An Anker 10-foot laptop charging cable created with extra durable nylon, so you can work from the couch, bed, or desk without having to be confined to sitting near an outlet. This cable features a USB-C connector that's compatible with MacBook and iPad Pros 2020 and later, Galaxy S20s, Pixels, and more. Promising review:"The quality is to be expected as with any Anker product. It's well built and charges quite fast. I like the bright red color and length of the cord. It is easy to connect and does exactly what it is supposed to." — stTeresyah Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors). 25. A set of memory foam gel pads — one for your keyboard and one for your mouse — that are designed to deliver support to your wrists while you type and click away for eight hours a day. These help prevent wrist pain, so you don't have to use any precious sick time simply to ice your wrists and avoid exacerbating any injury. Promising reviews: "I've been working from home due to COVID and began experiencing wrist pain. The soft cushion from both items provided the relief I needed. Great products and price!" — Gaga2015 "Having worked from home for almost a year now without any ergonomic cushion, I finally decided to buy this and so glad I did. They come with stickers that you can place to avoid movement but so far they don't seem necessary... The mouse pad cushion feels perfect! I appreciate not having the ball of my palm resting against a hard surface all day long. This also isn't sliding around on the desk. Feels perfect. These cushions have a great memory foam feel but not so much that they are very sensitive to the touch, they mostly keep their shape." — UAstudentn Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 13 colors/prints). 26. Or, if you don't need both, an ergonomic nonslip mouse pad to elevate your wrist and prevent fatigue while you click and scroll through windows and apps at work *or* drag your favorite reaction memes into your favorite Slack channel. Read more about how an ergonomic mouse can help prevent carpal tunnel at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "The design is gorgeous and so comfy that I even take it when I travel for business. This has relieved wrist pain from working on the computer every day." — Bianka P Gonzalez G Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 23 patterns). 27. A miniature wastebasket, so you can properly dispose of old sticky notes, candy wrappers, and Diet Coke cans instead of letting your desk become a cluttered mess. OK, so we work from home — that doesn't mean we don't still eat lunch at our desks and enjoy a 2 p.m. cup of hot tea! Amazon This wastebasket is designed to sit on your desk or attach to the side with an included adhesive strip. Promising review: "Fits perfectly in the side of my desk file cabinet. We don't have individual garbage cans at our desks so this is perfect for the little things like gum wrappers, straw wrappers, etc." — Adjobanibongo Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). 28. A sliding camera cover to stop the continuous need to double-check whether your camera is *actually* off when you decide to take lunch during a virtual meeting or take your laptop to the bathroom with you... you know, so you don't miss anything important. Promising reviews:"I always thought that putting something in front of your camera was reserved for government paranoid people, but 1. that is a real worry and 2. this thing comes in handy for everyday life too. I work at an organization that uses a lot of conference lines with external clients and having this manual option to prevent others from seeing my video is such a nice peace of mind. It doesn't block the lens when opened and is super easy to apply. I also love that it is super discreet, and doesn't prevent my laptop from closing properly." — Manders "Works great on my Macbook Air and even our large desktop mac. Slider is easy to use." — Marianna Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.99 (available in five color combos). 29. A blush filing cabinet in case your job requires a lot of printing and scanning *or* you simply need a place to store all your important paperwork and documents. Wayfair Promising review: "So gorgeous! Solid and easy to assemble. It arrived quickly and was packaged well. The drawers pull out smoothly and there are two sizes for files. Really great quality product." — Rebecca Get it from Wayfair for $206.99+ (originally $330; available in five colors). 30. Or a hanging file organizer, so you can store the paperwork and documents you frequently come back to or need to reference. This would be a great option for organizing taxes, hiring paperwork, and more that you definitely don't want to misplace. Promising review: "I was waiting with bated breath for this to arrive so I could organize my work and clear up my cluttered desk so I could be more efficient. Well, I wasn't disappointed! Within minutes I had it up on the wall... the grommets are nice and solid and the material is thick and well-stitched, and a few more minutes later I had all my tasks organized and in different pockets where I can easily see them, organize them in the order I want to tackle them in, and grab them when needed. LOVE a great product like this! The only drawback is that it has a strong smell, but I'm sure that airing it out for a few days will kill the smell, and it will be well worth it!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in five colors, three sizes, with or without name tag pockets). 31. A mini space heater because it's still cold outside and your home office might not be as insulated as you think. This lil' minimalist guy can fit on your desk, but is also *very* efficient if stationed underneath, so now you don't have to show up to your Zoom meetings bundled in a blanket. Amazon, Promising review:"For its size it truly does the job. It's so cute and perfectly compact I wish I could have it out to display but I keep it under my desk. It goes perfectly with all my pink too. 😊 It's perfect for a small designated area but I really think if given the chance, it could warm a lot more area. I support, must buy." — Barbie Girl Get it from Amazon for $20.51+ (available in four colors). 32. A very pretty silicone keyboard cover in case you've spilled food or beverages on your laptop one too many times! It'll also help keep dust out of your keys, which helps prevent them from sticking later on, so definitely worth it...I wish they made these when I spilled FroYo on my laptop in high school and got rainbow sprinkles stuck in my keys. 🙃 Promising review: "I love this keyboard cover. It has a nice feeling, is very flexible, and it fits like a glove on my MacBook Air. It doesn't come off even when I'm moving my laptop around a lot (which I do, since I do a lot of work on the sofa or the bed where I end up in weird positions to be comfortable). I can feel each key individually when I hit them, which is really nice. I haven't seen any signs of wear or even fading in the six months I've had it. This is a very durable keyboard — I eat with my laptop all the time, and I've actually spilled coffee on my keyboard once, and nothing happened — it actually kind of kept the liquid there until I could clean it off." — Sadia Rahman Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in 27 colors). 33. A coordinated desk set to make everything a little more aesthetically pleasing while you work. (Unless, of course, chaotic colors and patterns are your thing — me too!) Talking Out Of Turn Each set includes three pens, a pen cup, a stapler, a tape dispenser, and a desk tray. Get it from Talking Out of Turn for $50 (available in five colors). Talking Out of Turn is a woman-led small business based in Dallas offering a range of stationary and lifestyle goods. 34. Or, an under-$10 desktop storage organizer that has room for all the essentials: pens, calculators, highlighters, binder clips or even a spare USB cord in case you need a charge ASAP. It also has room for your favorite lip gloss, which is great for when you need to freshen up before a long, mandatory on-camera Zoom meeting. Amazon Promising review: "AWESOME desktop organizer. The soft pink matches the pink in my desk area, and it's surprisingly a very flexible item. The pink area detaches from the organizer making it easier to move your pens around if needed, giving you flexibility in how you organize your items. You can also adjust the width of the inner dividers in case you have bigger items you'd like to store. Highly recommend this item. It's sturdy and won't break on you." — ruby Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 35. A set of water-absorbent coasters designed with a cork bottom to make sure they stay put on your desk and keep all that condensation or excess liquid from getting close to your laptop or keyboard. Each set comes with a metal holder for the coasters when not in use! Promising review (marble):"Great coasters. They absorb moisture well and keep me from worrying about ruining my new desk! Came packaged well and looks great. The cork bottom is a nice touch to keep away the fear of scratches. I'd order these again if I ended up needing more!" — Chance Promising review (terrazzo):"Beautiful, absorbent coasters. So many coasters just look pretty but don't absorb the water. These are actual stone with cork on the bottom. The water droplets absorb into the stone right away. Your wooden furniture will be protected. I can confidently use these on my unfinished wooden coffee table. The terrazzo style is cute and matches my boho hygge style pretty well." — Danaaa Get them from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in eight styles and four- or six-packs). 36. A bamboo multidevice docking station, so all your tech can be conveniently charged in a clutter-free display that takes up minimal space on your desk or bookshelf. Promising review:"My desk was full of chargers and cords. This really helps keep everything organized and puts those cords out of sight. I also use the dividers to store a notebook, so you can use it for other things besides computers, phones, etc. I also really like the material. I got the light bamboo." — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three other styles with or without USB port). Great Useful Stuff is a small business based in Utah that sells an assortment of functional home and lifestyle goods. 37. Or a simple six-outlet wall charger and surge protector which features a dusk-to-dawn sensor to automatically turn on when the ambient light in the room is too dark. Most importantly, it can hold your bulky chargers, regular plugs, and even has two USB fast-charging ports, so you can get your essentials juiced in no time. If you have more than one computer or several pieces of technology you use every day, then you absolutely need this in your WFH office space. Promising reviews:" Work from home must-have. I work from home so I have a lot of items plugged in to the two nearest outlets. This six-outlet with the two USB ports and night light is awesome! Should've bought another for the other wall!" — Megan H. "I work from home in a small apartment, and this really made my setup work the way I want it to. I need to use all six plugs, plus I like to keep my phone and MiFi charging while working too. This was the perfect thing for me to get everything plugged in and essentially retrofitted into a built-in apartment wall desk setup that was intended for the large desktop towers of the late '90s. I'm ordering a second one in hopes it transforms another part of my weird floor plan. Bonus: The USB ports seem to fast charge my iPhone XS Max. I can go from dead to fully charged in about 90 minutes." — Moose Get it from Amazon for $17.97 (available in three colors). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.

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. You may be a ball of chaos, but this cult-fave shoulder bag with tons of secret pockets and this tear-off daily calendar will help tame some of it. 1. An adorably encouraging daily planner you can fill out throughout the course of each day to keep yourself on track for all your calls, goals, and even your water intake. This is especially ideal for hybrid workers because you can tear off each sheet as you go instead of lugging the whole planner around with you! Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware. Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 2. And a magnetic dry erase chore chart perfect for family households or roommates — this lets you assign each person responsibilities on a daily and weekly basis, so you're no longer dealing overflowing trash, dirty dishes, and a whole lot of, "No, it's YOUR turn" arguments. Amazon Hadley Designs is a small business that specializes in calendars, planners, and educational resources. Promising review: "My kids are a bit older than some of the kids some parents may get this for, but after fighting with them to do basic chores for so many years, I decided to try something new. At ages 15 and 11, they should most definitely have this down without having to be reminded. I've only put this into effect for a week, and it has kept them organized and on task thus far. I love that it stays stuck strong to the refrigerator. It's the perfect size; not too small that you can't write big enough to see and not too big that it takes up the whole refrigerator." — Tabitha Gonzalez Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 3. An adjustable reusable shopping bag organizer that will clear up so much chaos that the cabinet under your sink will hand write you a thank you note.

Amazon, 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:"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc, close by, even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works, and I love it, so money well spent!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three styles and nine patterns). 5. An attachable toilet paper roll holder you will be *so* relieved you invested in every time you're down to the last square and thinking you're out of luck.

And a set of two traceless adhesive shelves for your bathroom or kitchen that *don't* require any drilling or complicated installation other than sticking it straight to the wall. A chic and easy home fix?? Ugh, we lazy folks love to see it. Promising review:"I saw this on TikTok and had to try it. I love it. I have one in the shower and the other on the bathroom wall holding all the stuff normally on the sink. 10/10 recommend." — Sonia Get it from Amazon for $30.49+ (available in four colors). 7. A cleverly designed weatherproof hide-a-key rock you can leave by the door — a godsend for anyone who plays "hide and seek" so often with their keys that they're about to make varsity. Check out a TikTok of the key rock in action. Promising review: "This fake rock was exactly what I had been hoping to find. It blends in extremely well with the rock from my landscaping, and the key fits inside perfectly. The slide on the bottom was very easy to close as well. I definitely recommend it!" — P Gilroy Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 8. A hanging tool organizer for all those odds and ends you perilously shoved into your closet, hoping for the best. Free up all that space on the ground and let those cleaning supplies hover on the wall or the inside of a closet door instead! Promising review:"We live in a tiny apartment and need vertical storage since we don't have a pantry or living room closet. This allows us to keep our cleaning instruments in the house while saving space." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in four sizes and in five colors). 9. An over-the-door stuffed animal organizer so the next time you're all, "CLEAN YOUR ROOM I AM BEGGING YOU," the kiddos can have a blast racing to get all their beloved plushies off the floor and in their little pocket homes. Honeyera is a small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review:"Awesome quality, and HUGE! I've wasted money on cheaper versions of this and now I know I won't go back. Really sturdy, and holds more than you expect. Using in my sewing room for fabric, interfacing, and batting and it works like a charm. Going to order another one for my other closets because this was inspired me to use it everywhere. Also the free stickers were a cute bonus!" — Alexis Crumer Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in nine colors). 10. A purse organizer insert for anyone who is committed to the ~tote bag~ lifestyle, but doesn't love digging through them like a feral raccoon. Another perk? If you're switching out your purse, all you have to do is slide the organizer out and pop it in with all your stuff raring to go. Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that). Promising review: "Lightweight but sturdy, never collapsed in the bag. Perfectly fit in my tote. Red color makes it a lot easier to find my stuff. Worth the price." — Grace Vuluvala Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors). 11. A chic weekly pill organizer you will *love* if you're the type of human whose life is "go go go" — this lets you easily pull out separate days and stick them in a bag or overnight backpack if you're traveling or staying the night somewhere.

A set of legging organizing hangers for anyone who owns approximately [number redacted] pairs that are currently tangled in a dresser drawer like a giant athleisure nest. This will not only free up space, but give you easy access so you're not rooting through them for the One Pair That Makes Your Butt Look Good. Each hanger holds 10 pairs of leggings.

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it:"I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen and buying one of these organizers has transformed my cutlery drawer. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around." Promising review: "New way to organize your silverware that has a sleek design. TikTok made me buy this! It's a perfect design to not have as much clutter in your drawer. Great for ADHD people to see exactly what silverware is in which slot with the tiny pictures indicating a knife a spoon a fork!" — Haley Lutz Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 14. A set of easy-to-use, super adaptable"luggage bungees" so you can attach pillows, duffel bags, and backpacks to your wheeled suitcases and zip through the airport without lugging a bunch of things in your hands. (You need those hands to hold your lukewarm airport coffee!) Promising review:"I would have been a hot mess, if not for this thing during my last trip, traveling through four airports! It's very easy to use and if you're wondering, 'what's a 'thing' I may need for traveling, that I wouldn't otherwise think about,' it's this!" — Amazon Customer Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.99 (available in five colors). 15. An adjustable two-tier "Spicy Shelf Deluxe" to optimize your cabinet space so thoroughly that you will feel like you live in a veritable spice kingdom (in the least Dune way possible). This will organize up to 64 spices and support 40 pounds at its widest point, but can expand and contract to fit any cabinet. Promising review:"This product comes with several different ways to install for several different sizes of cupboards or shelves, and allowed me to organize my spice cupboard so all could be seen and visible. Using this with a couple of 10-inch round Lazy Susans all allows me to see all of my spices easily and gain access to them! Would work great as a double level shelf on one shelf as well." — Gary T. Get a set of two shelves from Amazon for $29.99 (also available with spices included). 16. A front seat organizer complete with two extra drink holders and a lil' spot for odds and ends like keys or your phone or hand sanitizers.

Honestly, even if you already have cupholders, some of us are Beverage People and need as many as we can get!! Promising review: "Most awesome thing I bought 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 a dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" — 2019 Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors). 17. A delightfully affordable set of ~floating~ kitchen shelves to not only free up a ton of space on your counters, but to add some sleek dimension to your kitchen space. Reviewers mention how easy it is to assemble and install! Psst — reviewers also use this to hold supplies in their bathrooms! Promising review:"It's easy to put together and pretty easy to mount. No problems with holes not matching. Doesn't look or feel cheap, as the price may convey. A good deal; I replaced a single shelf with this three-shelf rack in my kitchen." — Ruby Allen Get it from Amazon for $24.98 (available in black, white, and in two- and three-tier styles). 18. A puffer shoulder bag that's giving "Lululemon, but make it affordable." This gem has a surprising amount of space to fit all your odds and ends, plus so many pockets it'll be darn near IMPOSSIBLE to lose things in it, making it the perfect go-to bag for travel and errand running. Amazon Promising review:"I eventually need all the colors. I absolutely love this crossbody! I f you are a Lululemon fan, I'm telling you, try this bag! First of all, it's bigger. The guitar strap is key. It's very comfortable around your body. Inside also has two small pockets that you could put credit cards in, and then it has one zipper pocket and a very large inside. I would like to get all the colors at some point! I really don't think that I could buy another bag!" — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in six colors). 19. An under-desk cable management tray to hide the chaos of your cables underfoot *and* make it easier to unplug your tech (as much as we all love rooting around the floor of our open offices).

Promising review:"I got this because I was increasingly frustrated with multiple cords from printer, computer, WiFi and router hanging from back of my desk and plugged into a power strip. This is absolutely perfect: holds the power strip and all of the cords are off the floor. The bonus was how simple it was to attach to my desk (no tools and no holes to drill!). It's sturdy and looks great. Well worth it!" — Paula Dean Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in cream). 20. A two-tiered water bottle organizer — as much as we all love our morning pastime of grabbing one off the shelf and accidentally knocking five of them out like bowling pins, this is a much quieter, less alarming solution. YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Check out a TikTok of the water bottle organizer in action.

Pro-tip: When you use compression packing cubes, it's more effective to lay them flat than to roll them! It helps with the compression (and keeps your clothes from getting too wrinkled). Promising review: "These packing cubes helped to keep my clothing organized in my suitcase. They compressed my items and gave me a little more room in the suitcase.

This clear-pocketed compact bag fans out so you have all your beloved makeup and skincare at your disposal, converting any hotel bathroom into home sweet home. I will scream this thing's virtues on every corner of this earth. I used this on an eight-day international trip. It fit a veritable arsenal of products — all of my skincare, makeup, hair supplies, toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant were wedged in the different pockets and still compacted easily and went right into my carry-on backpack. It made setting up at the hotel a two-second process of hanging it up and having all my products instantly accessible to me and easy to put away. I cannot imagine traveling without it, especially now that I've used it on a multi-city trip where it was so handy to fold back up and take through multiple hotels.

Promising review: "I love this product. The quality on it is AMAZING and sturdy. I wasn't expecting that at all. I was expecting flimsy wires, but they are so strong. I was getting nervous about the size too, but they are so big! I can store so much in there. It was super easy to assemble, and I love it came with the option to screw it to the wall, or hang it over the door. Amazing." — christa g. Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 25. A cabinet door organizer so you can really flex some "I've got my life together" vibes when you open a cabinet and pull out the aluminum foil without pulling eight of its friends out with it. Promising review:"This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." — Kerry Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 26.

Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves! Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 27.

Promising review: "Just moved to an apartment and didn't want to put a key holder into the wall. Just slapped this on my metal entry door, and now my keys, shoe horn, sunglasses, and whatever else I might need are right on my door, just grab and go. Holds a lot without sliding." — Lolawiggles Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in silver and black). 31.

This not only comes with 12 months' worth of tracking strategies for daily, weekly, and monthly goals, but starts out with a lil' brainstorm on things you might want to track, like getting to bed earlier or managing your extra spending. Amazon Promising review:" I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I've always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I'd been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some 'homework' pages at the beginning to help you focus on your goals, but mostly, it's the cleanness and ready-to-go nature of the monthly calendar pages that have worked for me. It's helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus so I'm not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend. I'm really happy I made the leap." — Flight of Stars Get it from Amazon for $24. 34. A "Did You Feed The Dog?" tracker perfect for anyone whose mornings and evenings go by in such a blur that sometimes (okay, every time) Fido 10000% tries to scam an extra meal out of you by pretending they haven't been fed yet (or appealing to another human in the house). Now you'll have peace of mind they've been taken care of, kibble-wise. Promising review:"Awesome product! There are four of us who were working together to feed the dogs.

A set of see-through panel large capacity storage containers so when you're pulling things out every season, it doesn't feel like a messy game show where you're like, "Surprise! ... The *wrong* giant bag of clothes I was trying to pull down from this very tall shelf!" Promising review: "Best TikTok find for storage. These are the best storage bags/containers I have bought. So much so that I reordered and got three more not too long ago. One of them holds all the items from my six-drawer dresser, which included everything from tank tops to heavy sweaters and crewnecks. I also use it to hold my seasonal shoes, extra blankets, and yes, even more clothes! Since reordering, I now have six but I am only currently using four. They are machine washable and good to go in the dryer on low heat. Overall, it is worth the purchase!" — Harley Get a set of three from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six colors and various sets). 36.

Very helpful and convenient!!" — Rachele Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in two colors). 38. A collapsible car trunk organizer to organize all those "just in case" odds and ends you keep in the trunk of your car for road trips, like water bottles and umbrellas and all of ABBA's discography (there could be an emergency!!). Amazon Promising review:"It was just what I needed for my messy and unorganized truck! I wanted something not too bulky, but just the right size to help me reorganize my trunk. This product did that for me. I was also concerned that it'll move when I drove but luckily there is Velcro on the bottom that secures it in place while you drive, and sure enough it did just that! This product does not take up a lot of space and gives you the right amount of measure to place other things like groceries and a suitcase. I am completely satisfied and content with this product! I wish I had it all along!" — Sheneese Get it from Amazon for $14.70. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
