28 Products If You're A Slob Living With A Neat Freak And Want To Do Better In 2025
1. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids and labels to help you transform your cluttered countertop or dresser into one worthy of TikTok stardom. Plus, your housemates will appreciate the newfound orderliness of all your personal accessories in the bathroom, which is a shared common if you don't always remember. Included are six blank labels to write on your own and six pre-written labels (Cotton Balls, Cotton Swabs, Cotton Pads, Floss Picks, Hair Ties, and Bath Salt). Promising review:"These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" — tara savage Get a set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of two and three). 2. A pack of duster sponges — a great alternative to the always selling out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster — that allows you to clean your surfaces effectively to remove all that lingering pet hair and dust. Simply dampen it, wipe any surface, and then rinse when you're done! Here's what shopping aficionado and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say:"I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!" Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings are on your sink and counter. One swipe, and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.49 (available in six color packs). 3. A durable honeycomb drawer insert in case your drawers are literally spilling out — this fits into any size drawer and offers a geometric flair to your newly organized shirts, socks, and more. Now, your roommates or family members won't peek inside your room with disgust at all the laundry littered on the floor when they walk down the hall! Promising review:"Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I have, neatly organized, easy to I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." — Brigette Get it from Amazon for $9.44. 4. Washing machine cleaning tablets to make all that mold and mildew lurking around inside of the wash disappear, and you'll notice it's working because your laundry will start smelling clean and not slightly musty like before! Promising review:"These tablets added to the cleaning cycle of my front load machine are far more effective than hot water alone. They effectively clean and reduce/eliminate mildew odors, which build no matter how much I air out the machine after doing laundry. Just toss one into the basket when the cleaning cycle alert comes on, and your washing machine will love you for it." — Tami T. Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.99. 5. A set of space-saver bags for storing bulky clothing, bedding, or towels by vacuuming all the air inside to minimize their size so you can slide them out of sight and out of mind. Promising review:"First of all, when you see 'jumbo' in the title, you better believe these things are JUMBO! These bags of limitless storage can hold just about anything fabric that you need squishing down into a manageable block. I've used these for blankets, clothes, and precious keepsakes and I feel secure in the knowledge that they are all well-protected. The plastic is thick but not stiff, so you know it's good quality." — Kimball Household Get a pack of 10 medium bags from Amazon for $19.99. 6. The very popular Chom Chom — it's a reusable pet hair remover with a patented brush design, so all you have to do is simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber. Then remove and throw all that hair away. Over 140,000 reviewers have rated it 5 stars, and we agree: If a member of your household happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy. Promising review:"The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is. It's the age-old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds like a maniac, everything girl owns is now covered in cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chefs kiss* to the creators of this product. Y'all are doing G-d's work." — SB Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles). 7. A Shoe Slotz space saver to help you organize your massive shoe collection in a way that makes sense and allows you to see all your options at once. The white device neatly stacks shoes on top of each other, so they take up half the shelf space. Did I mention this method also means you'll have a less cluttered closet? Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed, Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has to say about this handy organization unit: " This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have 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." Promising review: "These things are genius. I had my closet redone and asked for the back wall to have cubbies so I can easily display my shoes, but I either underestimated the number of shoes I have or overestimated the space that was in the closet and I couldn't display them all. I bought a few packs of these and now I have extra space. I guess I'll have to go out and buy more shoes now!" — Hercules Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $39.99 (available in various multipacks). 8. A jar of the internet-famous The Pink Stuff, a mildly abrasive paste designed to erase even the most difficult of stains in your home, from hard water stains in the bathroom to caked-up grease and food on the stovetop. Seriously, it's earned its loyal TikTok fanbase and hundreds of thousands of positive reviews for a darn good reason. In 2025, we're removing that questionable stain from the wall and getting our deposits back! Promising review:"This stuff is some magic sorcery. I'm not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural-based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fireplace nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that… everything I've tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 9. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad because sharing the chores and bills can get expensive, but having one (or several) of these offers a more efficient and sustainable way of cleaning by getting rid of wasteful disposable mop pads. Your *entire* household will be grateful at the eco-friendly update and also the extra change in their pocket from making the switch this year! Each machine washable mop pad can replace up to 100 disposable pads *and* be washed up to 100 times! Turbo Mops is a small business established in 2018 to provide eco-conscious cleaning supplies. Promising review:"I bought these for the same reasons most do — to be more environmentally friendly. I like the size of my Swiffer Sweeper, but always felt like I wasn't getting my floors fully clean. We recently got a new apartment, and I always like to deep clean before we do any major moving. I used them dry and wet. I've always been disappointed with how the disposable pads from Swiffer (barely) picked up dog fur and crumbs, but as you can see in the picture it picked up so much! This was already after using a traditional broom. Then using them wet with diluted Mrs. Meyers cleaning concentrate — wow! The water was BLACK by the time I was all done with our downstairs area. They were so easy to Velcro on and off, wet or dry. Once I was all done, getting them off and doing a quick rinse wasn't hard at all. I love that I am supporting a small family business with all the convenience of Amazon. I will definitely buy again (if I ever have to). I am so excited to use these for years to come and have a cleaner house than I ever have before!!" — Kathryn Willer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95. Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $17! 10. A retro acrylic beauty organizer in case your makeup and skincare products are scattered across the bathroom sink because they have no place to go. This very chic organizer even includes a lid to keep your products dust-free and tidy on your vanity, countertop, or dresser! Amazon Here's what shopping aficionado and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say: "I have this organizer and I love it! It holds a good amount of stuff, keeps the dust at bay, and looks much neater than my old organizer, which just had slots with no lid. Because I regularly try a ton of beauty products, I paired it with a set of stacking drawers from another seller, which aren't a perfect match for the shade of green, but look good together on my vanity!" Promising review: "Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. I love how this organizes my beauty products so it's not all out in the open on my counter anymore. The glass brush holder is the best part, it looks so expensive! Highly satisfied with this purchase!" — SGD1978 Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in six colors and with or without a brush organizer). 11. A styling station that's designed with silicone and heat-resistant mesh, so all your hot tools can safely end up where they belong after use and you don't have to worry about leaving your straightener on to cool down on your countertop. 😅 Amazon Plus, it conveniently hangs on your towel rack! Promising review:"I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer 12. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover to dissolve years of nasty-looking, impossible-to-clean mineral buildup and staining in your shower, toilet, tub, or faucet in a matter of minutes! This professional-quality cleaner will help restore your plumbing fixtures and even your brick and concrete finishings with a spray and a light scrub. One treatment can deliver results that keep repelling stains for months afterward! Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this… This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, it's the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 13. An over-the-door basket system for anyone who's running out of places to store things but still has empty doors... Now, you can hang your daily must-haves in a place where you won't forget them, and you won't need to reorganize your cabinet space to do it. Wayfair Promising review:"This cabinet door organizer is the perfect use of 'vertical space' in my small bathroom! I now have all my supplements and bathroom potions out of my tiny hall linen closet and its conveniently located on the door for easy access! Great product!" — Amy Get it from Wayfair for $46.99 (originally $78.99; available in six colors). 14. Dawn Powerwash which saves you time by eliminating the need for a pre-soak since the spray helps break down grease and food debris in minutes. And then you just wipe the mess away. 🥲 This is a PSA to stop peeving off your household in 2025 by letting dishes "soak" overnight in the sink. Amazon Promising reviews: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." — Kim M. " The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 Jk have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF Get the starter kit from Amazon for $8.44. 15. A very powerful portable vacuum cleaner that deserves a permanent place in your car, so you can actually start giving your housemates and friends rides without being embarrassed about the state of your car. It plugs into your 12V car outlet with a stretchy cord and three detailing attachments to get into all those hard-to-reach places. Included with the vacuum are a carrying bag, filter brush, spare HEPA filter, and flathead, extendable, and brush attachments. Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. Two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez Get it from Amazon for $27.49+ (available cordless or plug-in). 16. A no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner for anyone who doesn't have enough time to deal with the stubborn rings in your bathtub — or worse, the mildew growing in the hard-to-reach corners of your shower. Simply spray down your shower after getting out and remember to rinse it 8–12 hours later (or before the next time you get in)...then marvel at how all the gunk disappears! Amazon, Promising review:" 100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned so much gunk out of my shower I didn't even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents and two sizes). 17. An expanding file folder — it fits up to 200 pieces of paper, so you can make 2025 your year of organization and finally do something with the stack of mail, receipts, paperwork, etc. cluttering up the mailbox-slash-command center your roommates have been begging you to use. Promising reviews: "This organizes my paperwork. It holds a lot and I love the pastel color of it. It came with labels to help identify each slot. It's made of plastic but still sturdy enough." — SuzyB "I own more than six of these, and they never disappoint! I recommend it for organizing all of your documents. I personally use it to separate my tax paperwork, paid off bills, work documents, etc. The possibilities are endless." — Honest Reviews Get it from Amazon for $5.08+ (available in 13 colors). 18. This brilliant shelf organizer/extra hanging rod combo if you own so many clothes that no empty closet space shall prosper. Now, you can keep your sweaters and tops folded neatly away in the storage shelves *and* still have space to hang skirts, pants, and other items on the bottom rod! Promising review:"I'm basically obsessed with this thing already. I just got it today so I can't speak to long-term, but it's amazing how much space this frees up. I have a 1940s house, therefore 1940s tiny closets, and I need to get creative in my space organization. This thing was just what I needed to store sweaters on top and hang all other tops on the bottom. You can't see in the photo but my closet has some space on both sides that's just half filled now and used to be filled to the brim, barely able to move the hangers. This storage solution makes displaying the sweaters nicer than in drawers of my dresser or hanging. It honestly appears very sturdy and quality to me. The fabric is thick, and the hooks and bar are both metal. All in all one of my favorite purchases from Amazon." — BobbyL Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes). 19. A pack of versatile, expandable, zero-tools-necessary drawer dividers, so you can quickly and effortlessly customize the interior of that one junk drawer you currently refuse to open so it'll finally function perfectly to suit your needs. Find what you're looking for in a literal instant! Promising review: "OMG...I've always had compartments and organizers but nothing like this! I now open my junk drawers and it gives me peace. Works for makeup drawers, too! Do not hesitate to buy these, definite quality and very customizable!" — Jennifer Hudson Get it from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in four colors). 20. A pack of cleaning K-Cups because a clean coffee maker = a happy home full of caffeinated people! But seriously — pop in one of these convenient cleaning pods and make your roommates happy by getting a better clean on your used-many-times-a-day Keurig. You'll be super grossed out, but *super* grateful when you see all the gunk coming out of your coffee maker that won't make it into your next cup. Promising review:"This was easy to use. Just pop in and let the system do the work. No downtime, no waiting. Simple and easy to use. I did notice a difference after the first use. Highly recommend it." — vetrie Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in larger multipacks). 21. A laundry folding board that works in less than five seconds to transform your closet and shirt drawers into an organized haven. Surprise your housemates this year by actually being able to *sit* on the couch since it won't be covered with unfolded baskets of laundry! 😭 Amazon, Promising review:"Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" — Kayli Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in five colors). 22. An adhesive cord organizer which sticks onto your appliances, so you can easily tie up that annoying eyesore of a cord when you're not using your mixer, air fryer, blender, fan, vacuum, etc. No more cluttered counters in 2025! Amazon Note: these are meant for use on appliances only; the adhesive is removable but may harm paint or wallpaper upon removal. Check out a TikTok of the cord organizer in action. Tidywrap is a small business established in 2022 that specializes in adhesive cord organizers. Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It's not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying, 'this is so much neater!' To each their own, I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." — Elizabeth L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95 (also available in a four-pack). 23. And a ventilated cable management box, so you can put all those tangled cords out of sight without having to rearrange all your electronics. Trust, your household will be so grateful not to be tripping over cords every time they walk into your WFH office or living space. Amazon 24. A set of three drill brush scrubbing attachments that powerfully remove all the grime and gunk away on tons of surfaces, from your shower to your even your gutter! Now, you won't have to get on your hands and knees, scrubbing until you're spent just to clean the soap scum staining the bottom of your tub. Drill Brush is a small biz created by a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who needed a way to properly clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"I constantly have to pester the hubby to help with cleaning the bathroom. Then I bought this and he's like Tim 'the tool man' Taylor. I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean. It doesn't take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." — Heather N Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces). 25. A double-layered, water-resistant cat litter-trapping mat created with a honeycomb design to catch and trap litter your cat might track onto the floor. Sure, everyone might love cuddling up with your feline baby, but it's YOUR cat, and no one enjoys getting sand pellets stuck in their bare feet or socks. And whenever you're ready to clean, just press the sides in to open the mat and dump it out (into the litter box or trash)! Promising review:"This litter mat is a lifesaver. I was facing a real issue with my two new kittens tracking litter EVERYWHERE, so much so that I was considering switching from the litter I love to something non-tracking because there were no good alternatives. Much research later, I come across this mat. I will say it was bigger and more square than I thought, but I think that is a good thing! It is so large and covers the area well. Now, the litter tracking is 99% contained! Best litter mat I have ever had!" — Rachel Ray 26. A bottle of Liquid Plumr Pro Strength Hair Clog Eliminator — a gel-based drain cleaner that literally melts hair away in three simple steps: pour, let sit, and drain with piping-hot water. And it's under $10, so definitely worth adding to your cleaning arsenal in case your household boasts a lot of long or thick-haired people and/or animals, and you don't want to have to bother with a plumber! 😭 BTW, this product is designed specifically for drains clogged with hair! For a different drain cleaner, check out this one! Having never read a review of this product, I used it and now I'm furious I didn't do a before and after photo. My shower drain, which had hair from previous tenants, soap scum deep in there, and more grossness from before I moved in five months now 98% clear and looks like a completely new drain. The hair that is still there is attached to my handy dandy drain cover, so no biggie to get rid of. This was the easiest drain product I've ever used and it didn't require me to even look at the nastiest lurking down there. All I had to do was pour the entire bottle (I poured most of it, but I was skeptical, so I saved some just in case), let it sit for 15 minutes, and then pour hot water down the drain. For this, I boiled water in my tea pot and poured it down the drain and everything is gone! I could cry. This is my new go-to drain product from now on — so if your drain is gross and you want nothing to do with it, definitely grab a bottle of this! Promising review: "Our drain was super clogged with hair and soap scum! Three women, a golden retriever, and a golden doodle! So when I say super clogged, I mean SUPER CLOGGED. No water was draining. I tried to use one of those sticks that you put down the drain to pull hair out and I got very little. I started a big pot of water on the stove, but I didn't let it get to a boil. I poured the whole pot of water in and BAM, the tub took a second and it drained. Honestly, I thought I was at the point of having to call a plumber, so I was shocked. I turned the water on and filled up the tub just to see what happened, and it kept draining perfectly! We're at about a month later and she's still draining like a champ! So, I would recommend this product a million times over, 10/10!" — Ian Get it from Amazon for $6.58. 27. A pack of multi-surface restorative wipes to bring new life back into your faded surfaces and furniture, so that it looks like you just brought it home. Plus, they even help protect your items from future damage! These work on everything from vinyl, plastic, and painted surfaces to metal and fiberglass. Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren't new ones!" — Mom@home Get five wipes from Amazon for $15.99. 28. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that'll help remove annoying fingerprints, stains, and other miscellaneous residue that ends up on your sleek, shiny appliances. It even comes with a microfiber cloth for streak-free cleaning that delivers a shine reviewers swear lasts for days!

If You, Like Me, Pack Like A Doomsday Prepper, Then You'll Be Very Happy These 41 Travel Products Exist
1. A packing list pad that's *very* comprehensive and can help you decide what you need to pack in your checked bag versus your carry-on. It even includes essential documents like your passport and ID, because forgetting those would be a nightmare. Say goodbye to anxiously trying to remember if you brought a charger because this simple list has already thought of everything for you! Amazon Promising review:"I hate packing — I mean, I really hate packing! I am always afraid I am going to forget something, and the entire ordeal is a stressful one for me. Since I have to travel a lot, this is a game changer. No more guessing if I forgot my underwear — everything I need is on this list. I am thinking of just keeping one bag totally packed, filled with the items on the list, and just add my suit in when I am ready to travel. :)" — Dr. Oceanfront Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three colors). 2. An Apple AirTag because when you've packed half your closet, losing a bag isn't an option. This gadget allows you to track your luggage right from your phone, so whether it's under the plane or taking an unexpected detour to another city, you'll always know where it is. Promising review:"I have never used these in over 2 million miles of traveling by plane. However, after a recent trip to Europe, I will never leave home with them again. They saved me when my bags were placed on a connecting flight. Upon arrival, when my bags never showed. I went to the airline's lost baggage center. They could not tell me where my bags were. I had to show them that they were sitting in Terminal E at the Atlanta airport. They are now part of every piece of luggage we own." — Amazon Customer BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly had a similar positive experience using her AirTags during international travel — you can read her story here! Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a four-pack for $69.99). 3. A compact first aid kit stocked with essentials for scrapes, blisters, stings, and any random splinters you get while backpacking through Europe. It's small enough to toss in your bag but packed enough to keep any minor injuries from turning into trip-ruining emergencies. This compact first aid kit includes 10 round bandage adhesive strips, five butterfly strips, 100 small (40x10mm) strips, 100 standard adhesive strips, one triangle bandage, 10 gauze swabs, five cotton swabs, one burn dressing, one instant ice pack, one emergency blanket, eight soap wipes, one PBT bandage, a pair of plastic scissors, a tourniquet, one adhesive tape, a pair of tweezers, one set of safety pins, 10 wipe pads, and a sturdy first aid bag. Promising review: "Perfect for my vacation, a 'just in case' kit. Definitely worth the value, a neatly packed first aid kit with ease of use. It fits perfectly in luggage, looks great, and all its contents are suitable for use should an emergency occur." — Samora Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 11 colors and three sizes). 4. A capacious travel backpack to make the most out of your personal item (just make sure you can still stuff it under the seat). It has two laptop sleeves, a secret anti-theft pocket, a USB charging port, a shoe compartment, and a bag to isolate your dirty clothes or keep liquids away from your electronics. This thing is like the LeBron of backpacks. 🏀 Promising reviews:"Lots of space. I bought this for a business trip so I could carry my laptop and clothes for two nights and not check a bag at the airport. This worked perfectly and looks nice." — Angie J "This is the second bag we ordered. It holds sooooo much. We use a carry-on and this bag for our trips to Florida. No more checking bags." — Georgette Get it from Amazon for $22.29+ (available in four sizes and 34 styles). 5. An Arden Cove anti-theft *and* waterproof vegan-leather purse with enough space for all your travel essentials, and even a Kindle. There's an RFID-blocking compartment for your cards, so you don't need to bring your wallet if you don't want to. This is just THE "it girl" of travel purses. Arden Cove is a woman-owned brand founded by sisters Carmen and Karin Yuen after carrying disappointing bags and gear while globetrotting. It has a waterproof body and zipper, slash-proof lining all around, locking zippers, RFID blocking material, a chain shoulder that strap attaches to a post or chair, built-in wallet, shoulder pad on strap for added comfort, bottom studs to protect it from wear and tear when setting the bag down, and an interior D-ring to attach a keychain. Promising review:"Just got back from two weeks in Athens and the Greek islands and loved this purse for travel. It has all the security options that give piece of mind but it's also cute enough to take for an evening out. It's smaller than what I typically carry, but I found the interior design meant I eliminated a wallet and other internal holdalls, plus the position of the purse cross body made it a perfect location to easily get to my passport, phone, etc." — Chris Jones Get it from Amazon for $179 (available in seven colors and three chain drop lengths). 6. Or just an RFID-blocking travel wallet to keep your most important documents protected and together. This thing is nicely organized — so when you're going through security, you *won't* be frantically digging through your bag for your passport as the TSA agent glares at you. The wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, a slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, a key holder, and a pen holder. Promising review:"I bought this for traveling to make it easy to have my vaccine card, passport, cards, cash, and boarding tickets close and all in one place. But I've loved it so much that it's now become my everyday wallet for over a year! High quality and holds up well to daily use." — Lydia J Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 30 colors). 7. A travel brush with a hidden compartment so you can smuggle in those last few must-haves your overstuffed bag couldn't handle, like ibuprofen, toothpaste, Neosporin, and (of course) extra hair ties. The combo of boar and nylon bristles gently detangles without adding static — because travel days are chaotic enough without frizzy hair on top of it. This even comes with 20 hair ties if you're running low! Promising review: "I don't typically write product reviews, but this brush is amazing! It easily glides through and detangles wet or dry hair, and really helps in eliminating frizz and flyaways. Had a friend almost take it from me as it went right through her thick hair extensions without getting snagged or caught. The in-brush storage is genius, too — no more fumbling around searching for accessories!" — Stefanie Genovesi Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors). 8. A set of Snug Plugs for those old, worn-out hotel outlets that can't hold a charger to save their life. Just pop it in the outlet, and voila! — no more waking up for a jam-packed day only to realize your phone didn't charge overnight because the adapter fell out of the wall. Snug Plugs is a small business that specializes in home improvement products. Promising review:" I'm a flight attendant and spend a TON of time in hotel rooms. Sometimes there is limited outlet availability and often, the outlets that are available have been so used that they are extremely loose. I travel with several devices that require nightly charging, no exceptions. These little Snug Plugs have been a game changer! I don't have to drain external batteries to make sure my phone charges and my alarm goes off. I don't have to stack things on the bathroom countertop where the only usable plugs are. They take up no extra space in my charging cord bag. They're great! Well worth the money!" — Dana Young Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $10.99 (available in a pack of 25 and a glow-in the dark option). 9. A slim-profile phone power bank that'll keep your phone juiced up when there's no time to sit and charge the battery during your super short layover. This one is small but mighty (it can fully charge an iPhone up to three times!) and perfect to have with you on long days. Promising review:"Originally bought this for a business conference I had. What a life saver. Not only did it get me through the conference, but it got me though a six-hour travel day while listening and participating in Zoom meetings. It is lightweight and fits in your jacket pocket." — Allison Graham Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in two colors and in a pack of two). 10. Or a solar-powered portable charger so you don't end up lost in the middle of Bali with a dead phone and zero access to Google Maps (or Translate). It can charge two devices at once, is waterproof, and comes with built-in LED flashlights *and* a mini compass — basically, it's the "just in case" hero you'll want in your bag at all times. You can also charge it via outlet! Promising review: "I got this power bank for camping and general backup power, and it's been a solid purchase. The battery lasts a long time — I can charge my phone several times before needing to recharge it. The dual USB ports are handy for charging two devices at once, and the fast charging actually works. The built-in flashlight is bright and useful, especially at night. The solar charging is a nice feature, but it's slow, so I wouldn't rely on it as the main way to recharge. Still, it's great for keeping the battery topped up if you're outside all day. It feels durable, not flimsy like some other power banks. Overall, a great option if you need something reliable for travel, camping, or emergencies." — E Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 11. A lightweight electric water purifier in case you travel to a country where you can't drink the tap water or end up in a situation where you have to drink questionable river water. It has a five-stage filtration system, can run for up to 15 days (!!) on a single charge, and can recharge via solar panel, car power, or a portable battery. There's even a built-in emergency light and a handy storage bag that clips to your belt or bag! Just put the pump in the water you want to drink, then turn on the machine and it'll flow through the filter and come out of the spout. Promising review: "My three friends went on a river trip. Each of us had our own water purifier. Mine was the only electric one, and let me tell you, it is super convenient. Every time we had a quick stop, I provided the water for everybody so we could roll camp up quicker. When we would stop for the night, they would pull out their gravity filters. While I think it might be good to have both, the rechargeable battery on my water filter was just a super selling point. We were out for three days and I did not have to recharge it." — Zatoichievi Get it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in two colors). 12. Some Tide sink packets that allow you to wash your smelly clothes in the sink so they don't stink up your bag. These can easily fit in your toiletries bag — even when it's packed to the brim — and you'll be so glad you brought them when you run out of clean underwear. Tide BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly is a big fan of these: "Each pack comes with three packets. And, because they *are* liquid, they'll easily slide into the side of your toiletries bag. I've packed these on international trips to much success!" Promising review: "I bought these just in case. I'm the overly prepared type. And then I was sitting there in Florence eating this incredible sandwich for lunch, and it all came pouring out the bottom on to my linen pants. Olive oil, liquid from sundried tomatoes.... FUUUUUUUUDGE. Luckily we were eating in our room, so I immediately stripped my pants off, put them in the tub and dumped in two of these Tide packets. We'd packed carry-on only, so I needed these pants frequently! The Tide saved the day. They also came in handy to refresh my husband's socks after walking around in the heat all day. GET THEM. It's an easy pack and a no-brainer." — NolaForever Get nine packs from Amazon for $6.35 (available in two scents and four pack sizes). 13. And a Tide stain removing pen to save the day when your only white shirt ends up with coffee on it. Just keep it in your bag, because the last thing you need is a rogue stain ruining your meticulously planned outfit rotation. To use, blot off any extra residue, press the tip to the stain to get the cleaner flowing, then gently rub it in. And just repeat if the stain's being stubborn! Promising review: "I have many in bag, car, office, home... anywhere I need to be covered. This pen is an absolute lifesaver for spills and unexpected stains, especially on the go. It fits perfectly in my purse or backpack, making it super convenient for travel or just daily use. While it's not magic on every type of stain, it works wonders on most food and drink spills. Highly recommend having one of these around for those 'uh-oh' moments!" — Emine Arikan Get a pack of five from Amazon for $13.32 (available in various pack sizes). 14. A portable door lock giving you some extra peace of mind when the shoddy Airbnb locks just don't cut it. Just slide the metal plate into the door strike, close the door, and lock it in place with the red handle — no extra tools needed! Amazon Elizabeth also has this and advises: "Just make sure that if you pack in your carry-on, it's easily accessible because I've had TSA pull me aside a few times to see what it is." Promising review:"My best guy friend bought this for me and I love it. I'm a flight attendant and am in hotels 4–5 nights a week. Sometimes the 'locks' just don't feel sturdy enough. This device gives me an extra layer of security and allows me to sleep at night. I keep it in my flight bag." — Emilia Duren Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in packs of two and four). 15. A pack of 30 aluminum-free deodorant wipes made with a blend of coconut milk and essentials oils to remove any unwanted odors while leaving behind a fresh coconut scent. They're perfect for road trips, camping, long flights, or anywhere you might not be near a shower for a while. Promising review:"I use these wipes almost daily since I do most of my work outside with children. They're soft, easy to use, and I can easily chuck them in my bag for travel. They smell amazing and remove odor instantly, leaving a fresh coconut scent! 10/10, everyone should get these!" — Andrea Pizzotti Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in packs of two or four). 16. A set of "wine wands" if you love wine, but can't seem to enjoy it without your head pounding in the morning. This clever little device comes with filters that help remove histamines and sulfites — common culprits behind headaches and hangovers. It's super portable, so you'll be good to go for any spur-of-the-moment "we're on vacation" drinks! Amazon PureWine is a small business that specializes in wine accessories. These are single use and disposable, so you can just toss it when you're done! Promising review:"I'm a wine lover and migraine sufferer. Wine plus migraines do not work. Some wines give me headaches, and some give me migraines. Some wines also made my chest red and itchy. Kinda scary. I had to stop drinking certain wines altogether. This wand is incredible. The first thing I noticed was that the wine tasted 'fresher.' I don't know how to explain it. No headaches since using it. I also gifted packs of these for Christmas to family members." — J. K. Get a set of three from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in larger packs). 17. A 2-in-1 hair tool that curls and straightens so you can achieve the perfect balance of texture and shine with just one tool. It's easy to pack for trips and dual-voltage so you can have gorgeous hair no matter what country you're visiting. Just be sure to still pack a plug adapter if you're traveling to another country! Promising review:" Traveled with just a carry-on and personal item from USA to Italy and this worked perfectly. Convenient size for luggage and worked perfectly as a curler or straightener! My hair looked cute the entire trip so I was happy!" — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors). 18. A sleek mini travel umbrella you can toss in a tote in case the sky decides to give you a spontaneous shower. It also has a nifty carrying case that'll keep all your stuff from getting soaked in water. Promising review:"Bought this cheap, lightweight umbrella for an autumn trip to Edinburgh. It worked perfectly!! It was really windy there, and it did pop inside out a few times, but I just pushed it back into place. The pod holder is really great for folding it up when wet and keeping your bag safe from it!" — Lynn Thompson "I bought this to take with me on our honeymoon instead of bringing a big umbrella. This umbrella is great quality and super functional. It folds up easy and I love that it come with a carry case. It fits right in my purse nicely." — kaitlyn Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in many colors and packs). 19. Or a compact, foldable Hairbrella to keep in your bag for when the weather app lies, and it IS, in fact, raining, and you don't want your freshly styled hair to get ruined. Plus, you can't let a little rain stop you from exploring the streets of Paris! Amazon Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather since 2016. Promising review: "I wore this on a rainy work trip and was so glad I had it! I walked to my office in the rain one morning (15 minutes in moderate rainfall) and my silk press was PERFECT after I got into the building and took it off. I even took some headshots later in the day. When walking back to the hotel after work I neglected to put it on because it wasn't actively raining. Well, I forgot about humidity, so when I stepped into my hotel room my hair was reverting and poofed up! I truly believe in this product now; it is a must during silk press season! It's well made, comfortable once you adjust it, and silky soft on the inside." — Olivia Danae Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in 10 colors). 20. Plus, a pair of reusable waterproof shoe covers so those white sneakers you wear every day can stay white instead of getting soaked and covered in mud from all the rain. (There are only so many pairs of shoes you can bring on a trip, so keeping them clean is high priority!) These have a handy elastic tie at the ankle so they stay securely on and don't let any water in. Check the handy sizing chart on the product listing so you can find your ideal fit! Promising reviews: "Exactly as described. The size was exactly right for my shoe size. Perfect for a trip, as they take up very little space in a suitcase and work quite well to keep the rain out and puddles away from shoes." — Caroljean Get a pair from Amazon for $15.89 (available in unisex sizes S–4XL and five styles). 21. A toiletry bag kit with a hanging organizer, a cosmetic bag, and a waterproof pouch perfect for stashing accessories, wet swimsuits, or even your "I hope I don't need these" emergency underwear. It keeps everything in one place, and you can simply hang it up when you arrive instead of begrudgingly reorganizing all your stuff at the hotel. Tripped Travel Gear is a small business that makes a bunch of cool products to make packing so much easier! Promising review: " Got this for a 12-day trip to Europe with only carry-on luggage. So many compartments, making it easy to stash all your toiletries with room to spare. It's so lightweight that it didn't add to overall baggage weight significantly." — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in seven colors). 22. A pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags so you can bring all your bulky sweaters and jackets on that trip to Scotland. These are great for cramming as much as you can (and then some) into your suitcase, AND they make it much easier to sort through your carry-on to pull out toiletries or other items for security. Just pack in your clothes, roll up the bag, and watch as the excess air is squeezed out. 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 make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need 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 cloths 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. 23. Or a pack of vacuum-seal bags if manually squeezing out the air feels like too much work. These come with a travel-sized pump, so you won't need to worry about finding a vacuum in your hotel to pack for the trip home. Promising review: "Bought these bags for traveling and they work GREAT. They suck every last bit of air out of the bag, so I was able to fit more items and travel with just a carry-on, which is always a plus!" — ITSJUSTME Get them from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in four sizes and various packs). 24. *Plus* a set of packing cubes to help you squeeze in more by keeping everything neat and compressed. You'll be amazed at how much you can fit in your luggage, and since everything is organized into little sections, it'll be a snap to unpack and get on with your trip! Promising review:"These packing cubes are the best. I use them for long weekends or two-week trips. They help me pack things as I would use them and locate what I need inside my suitcase, especially on trips where we change hotels every couple of days and don't unpack into the hotel closet." — Pat Get a set of eight packing cubes (also comes with a laundry bag) from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 15 colors and a set of six). 25. A Stow-N-Go travel organizer so you can sort every outfit, backup outfit, and backup-for-the-backup outfit before you even zip your suitcase — then when you get to your destination, you can just hang it up and have perfectly organized clothes for the entire trip. Plus, it has a zipper compartment at the bottom for putting all your dirty clothes in so they don't get mixed with clean items (forcing you to end up just washing everything when you get home). Promising review:"I just love it. I travel a lot. Now I don't have to hang anything up but my organizer. I can see what I pack and where everything is. Just love it. I can easily fit seven days' worth of outfits and three pairs of shoes in a carry-on suitcase. Just great." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $26.95+ (available in two sizes and nine colors). 26. A Subtl Beauty Stak for condensing up to 10 makeup products into one small stack — ideal for when your toiletry bag is already bursting but you still need ~options~. You can customize yours with anything from lip tints to face powder. And as convenient as it is for travel, it's also perfect to keep in your purse on the reg for touch-ups! Subtl Beauty Each stack also includes a mirror lid, a base, and a mini brush. Promising review:"I absolutely love how compact this product is. I have been pleasantly surprised at how natural the makeup feels and I love the natural look it provides. I originally purchased it for traveling, but have been using it daily and love it!" – Paula Bowie Get the Starter Stak from Subtl Beauty for $60 (available in 19 tones), or customize your own stack starting at $12 per layer, with up to 10 product types available. 27. A digital luggage scale — just strap it around the handle, pull up a little, and it'll tell you the weight of your suitcase! We all know that haunting feeling of approaching the check-in desk, not knowing if we'll have to A) pay way too much for a bag or B) open our suitcase on the floor in front of everyone and frantically rearrange everything. Promising review:"We use this in every trip to avoid paying for extra weight as we travel internationally quite often. I have tested in several ways and also always note the weigh number in the airport. After several trips, I can say that the accuracy of it is right within 2 lbs. I have it for almost two years and I am still using the same batteries." — Cass Young Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six colors, a pack of two, and another style). 28. A Megababe anti-chafing balm formulated with moisturizing ingredients like aloe, pomegranate, and grapeseed oil that help keep your thighs from rubbing themselves raw. Chafing hurts, but wearing short skirts and dresses is fun, so this product is honestly a game changer — and the stick is small enough to keep in your purse! Megababe Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer. Promising review:"I was hesitant to buy this product because I wasn't sure if it would work or not, but WOW!!!!! It works!!!! Amazing!! I've been to a music festival for the past two years, and from walking too much, I've gotten the worst chafing. This year, I decided to buy this and use it during my two days at the music festival. No chafing whatsoever!!! I did reapply a few times (because I was walking tons/sweating). But seriously, this product is wonderful. I tried deodorant last year, and that was no help for me. This is my new go-to, and I'm excited to use it more this summer! Buy this!" — Queen268 Get it from Amazon, Target, or direct from Megababe for $14. 29. A solid Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen that'll come in clutch when you didn't plan on being out in the sun all day, but somehow ended up on a spontaneous beach hike. It works just as well as spray-on or lotion sunscreens, so you can enjoy your sunny vacation without burning up or spending waaay too much on sunscreen at your destination! Amazon Promising review: "This was my go-to sunscreen stick for YEARS. I don't even know why I stopped using it… I recently repurchased and remembered why I loved it so much. As a dry skin girly, it really helps keep my skin protected from the sun but also hydrated. Love, love, love!" — Kateri Brianna Get it from Amazon for $9.88. 31. A waterproof pouch so you can use your phone 🎶 under the sea 🎶 and get those cool underwater pics without worrying about ruining your expensive device! It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt. It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). Promising review:"I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck. And so it, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river, and I just assumed it would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast-forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff's Office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open but there was not one single drop of water in it and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" — Julie McDonald Get it from Amazon for $6.29 (available in 12 colors and packs of two). 32. A foldable jewelry organizer with space for all your rings, earrings, necklaces, and then some — because narrowing down your accessory options just isn't happening. It's made from soft quilted cotton that compresses nicely so you can squeeze it in with everything else. Amazon, Promising review:"My favorite traveling item! Before I was sticking jewelry in ziplock bags and in my suitcase and I'd lose them in there or they'd tangle and I was limited on what I could bring. I bring this with me every time we go out of town for business." — Kristy and Jose Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 33. A travel-size wrinkle-release spray because while rolling all your clothes into a tight ball may be convenient for packing, it does leave them looking a little crumpled. This guarantees you won't need to hunt down an iron or go to dinner with a crinkled shirt. Promising review:"Hate dragging out the old hotel iron and board, so I just spray my wrinkled clothes with this, and viola! Takes the wrinkles out, and off I go — no wrestling while putting the iron and board away. I even have a small travel iron or use my hair styling irons if I want a better finish, but this usually does the job nicely." — Audie Get it from Amazon for $6.05. 34. A reusable gel lint roller to keep your clothes looking pristine — even when your friend's cat turns your suitcase into their new nap spot. It's compact, easy to throw in your bag, and all it takes to restore its stickiness is washing the interior. If you're someone who wears a lot of black, this will definitely make your life better. Promising review: "Super easy to use and helpful during travel. You'll know when the lint roller is full as it will not pick up only more hair/lint. All you have to do is rinse the ball and rub off any excess, wait for it to dry, and then it will be good as new." — Zalayahg Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors and in packs of two or four). 35. A Bug Bite Thing because unfortunately bugs are everywhere, and you never know when one will getcha 😳 but this portable gadget will help relieve itchiness, swelling, and redness from those pesky bites. It's super easy to use — just place the tool over the bite, pull up on the handles until you feel a suction, hold for 20 seconds, then push the handles back down and you're done! You can also use it to treat bites and stings from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice. Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small business established in 2017 that specializes in bug-bite relief products. Promising review:"I live in Florida and have had a huge mosquito problem lately. This thing is a miracle. I use it right after I get a mosquito bite and it still itches for 15–20 minutes, then no itching! It never itches again after that. It gets the saliva that the mosquito put into your skin and gets the saliva out! It heals way faster and no more itching! This is a lifesaver and a miracle!" — Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five colors and multipacks). 36. A pack of mini perfume atomizers so you can switch scents depending on whether you're hitting the beach, heading to dinner, or just trying to mask the smell of your sweat until your next shower. These are super easy to fill, and reviewers love how the fine spray gives a nice, even application. To fill the atomizers, remove the spray cap from your perfume, then align the bottom of the atomizer with the bottle and repeatedly press it down until it's filled (but don't *overfill* it). Promising review: "I usually don't leave reviews but this was so worth the money. I'm traveling for the first time in 12 years and squeezing everything into one bag and a carry-on. This works for perfume, but I had the great idea of using it for things like my setting spray for when I travel. Game changer. Obviously only has about 15–30 sprays depending on how much you fill it, but this is great for a vacay or a weekend getaway other than perfumes!" — AnnCRosas Get them from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in packs of four or five in various colors). 37. A 3-in-1 travel razor that's got it all: a refillable spray bottle for easy skin prep, a shea butter moisturizing bar, and two triple-blade razor cartridges — i.e. everything you need for smooth, on-the-go shaving in one compact, travel-ready kit. Promising review:" I recently traveled and had no problem with TSA. I like the moisturizer; you can just rub it in. If you have coarse hair, the blades may dull sooner than later. I preferred just to wet my leg and then spray the water. It seemed to get more of a lather for me. Super convenient!!" — Western Pa mom/grandma Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in pink and blue). 38. A compact eight-compartment pill organizer to avoid cramming a bunch of medication and supplement bottles into your bag, effectively taking up all the space you needed for socks. Psst — if you don't fill up all the compartments with pills, it's also great for stashing your earrings during travel! (Shoutout to this TikToker for the hack.) Promising review:"My husband and I travel a lot and take a number of prescription drugs. It was always a hassle accessing our medication when needed, so I purchased this organizer to make things easier. I used a label maker and labeled each little compartment and it has performed wonderfully. I highly recommend this organizer to anyone who travels and needs medications throughout the day." — Jacqueline Get a three-pack from Amazon for $8.97. (They don't sell them in singles, but if you don't want three, here's a similar option.) 39. A fast-drying microfiber towel you can fold into a compact square and fit into the smallest of carry-ons. It's perfect for travelers who aren't staying in hotels, and reviewers love to bring it camping because of how lightweight it is! Promising review:"I bought this for a trip to Mexico, during which we moved from pool to beach to ocean a lot. This towel was the perfect travel companion to keep me somewhat dry and get me to the next stop. I especially appreciated taking it on our snorkeling trip because it could fit easily in a waterproof bag with my other things and not get wet. It was a great blanket when it was chilly as well. And it dries so quickly so you can be ready for your next adventure. I like the bag it comes in to keep it contained within your tote bag too." — dmw Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 18 colors and six sizes). 40. Some reusable bottle bags to keep the fancy bottle of prosecco you're bringing back from Italy safe and sound. And if it *does* spill, you'll be happy to hear this bag is designed to catch all of the liquid, so your clothes and souvenirs will be safe! Amazon Promising review:"Bought to bring wine from France home from vacation. We bought three bottles (one of which was champagne). All three made it on the Eurostar and two flights in perfect condition." — Katie Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four styles). 41. A 30-pack of waterproof zippered pouches reviewers have used to organize everything from makeup and toiletries to chargers and snacks. Since they're transparent, you'll be able to easily locate and throw the right one in the security bin without unpacking your whole bag. Parents in particular *love* these for keeping everything neat and safe from spills! Promising review: "I bought these for a trip for my family of five. I like to plan in advance to make sure no one forgets anything! These were a lifesaver packing for three kids! I was able to create a carry-on, toiletries, wires/chargers, and snacks pouch for everyone! I used clear sticker paper to create name labels, and it all worked perfectly! Would definitely recommend if you need to travel with family and need to set things out and pack." — mommyandbri Get a set of 30 bags in different sizes from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five different packs).

27 TikTok Products That Are Actually Worth The Investment
1. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you work from home and get the sudden urge to dash out to run an errand or walk the dog. (Priorities, right?) This helpful gadget lets you stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack in the meantime! Promising review:"Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five styles). 2. A set of antimicrobial toothbrushes for those mornings when you might not get around to flossing, but still want to get a deeper clean than a regular toothbrush can give you. The tip of each of these tiny "floss" bristles are as thick as a single human hair and reach deep into the grooves of your teeth for a cleaner, fresher mouth. And if you have sensitive teeth, no worries — reviewers say these bristles are super soft. This toothbrush is also formulated with nano-silver, which may help kill off microbes left on the bristles. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it:"I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! 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. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular." Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — AN Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99. 3.

Promising review:"TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." — Ruth Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two styles and six colors). 5.

Works great! Easy to use especially if you're someone like me who doesn't read directions. You can just figure it out. It cleaned up my rug instantly and I use it every couple of weeks to keep my high traffic rugs fresh." — stef Get it from Amazon for $99.99. 6. Or a bagless, touchless stationary vacuum so that clean floors no longer mean that you have to struggle with hair clumps that keep falling out of the dustpan or wrestle with a heavy vacuum. This'll magically suck up all that dirt you sweep up so you can go on about your day. Promising review:"Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." — AC Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors). 7. A lightweight quilted jacket for that effortless yet chic look. It's got thick, insulating fabric and a classic, slightly faded look. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the quilted jacket in action.

Never take it off!" — Aron Wolfson Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 16 colors). 8. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop that is so easy to use, it would've probably let Cinderella get to the ball on time. It has a hands-free wringing system and is made to reach into those ~extra~ dusty corners. Who knows if we'll ever not complain about having to mop, but at least this brilliant invention will give you clean floors that makes it look like you totally love it. O-Cedar/YouTube / Via Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog who makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it's a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it's fun. MAJOR BONUS!" — Molly Get it from Amazon for $34.96+ (available in three styles). 9. A set of two traceless adhesive shelves for those of us that have a thorough shower process with many heavily used products but not a lot of space. This lets you keep everything neatly organized in one area! Promising review:"I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they've stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I'm so impressed! I'm sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It's so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" — Sara B Get it from Amazon for $28.79 (available in two sizes and four colors). 10.

Worth every penny." — Launa Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in five sizes). 11. A Yonanas fruit soft serve maker that'll satisfy any and every ice cream craving, since it lets you create a concoction *specifically* to your liking! It transforms any frozen fruit into an ice cream or sorbet texture so you can enjoy a chilly treat right from the comfort of your own home. Promising review:"I saw one of these in action at a friends house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! I t makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It's easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." — DMCKAY Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in five colors). 12.

Sets come with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases (with only one pillowcase included in the Twin size). Promising review: "These are the real deal!! I found them from a TikTok and my husband actually said after the first night, 'Let's just replace all of our sheets with these, they're so comfortable!' It's a beautiful blue and white pattern. They wash well and breathe at night — I am always hot but these stayed cool. Definitely buying more!" — Julia Monroe Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in 40 colors and in sizes twin-Cal King). 14. A set of Wad-Free pads if you're done struggling with damp, wrinkled sheets after running them through the dryer.

Amazon Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads. Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It's a little on the expensive side IMO, and that's kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." — StrangerThings Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in a set of four). 15. A super-chic minimalist glass tumbler for anyone who thinks "phone, wallet, keys, COFFEE" every time they leave the house. And for those of you who aren't the best at drinking water (shhh, we're not talking about me right now), having this cute bottle of H2O with you might help you remember to stay hydrated! Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Promising review:"I saw this product on TIkTok and automatically liked it! I love that it comes in so many different colors and the top is wood. I drink lots of water and needed a cup I could take with me everywhere. I could also put iced coffee in it too. I love that it came with two straws, a clear one and white. I will be purchasing another one for my husband and also one for my mom in different colors!" — CozyRozie Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in dozens of colors and in multiple packs). 16. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream if you want to be known for your absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS scent. Enriched with caffeine, guarana extract, and coconut oil, this miraculous little jar of cream will help tighten *and* smooth your skin like nobody's business. Promising review:"Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I'm not usually a sucker for marketing but this was so worth it." — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes). 17. A slim magnetic stove shelf, which quickly fastens on the top of your stove and gives you easy access to all your most used tools, oils, and seasonings while you listen to music and harness your inner Martha Stewart. 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:"There was no set it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised allowing air flow underneath preventing the shelf from heating up. Sizing was perfect. I love it!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in three finishes). 18. A discreet, easy-to-install portable door lock for when you're traveling or staying in an unfamiliar place. This is perfect for giving you some extra security (and peace of mind)! Amazon Promising review:"My apartment door has a deadbolt but no lock on the door handle. The latch is also misplaced so if it's not dead bolted anyone can just push my door open. Took a few tries to get this right but makes me feel much more secure and it's easy to use when you get the hang of it! I also take this with me when traveling as it fits almost all doors. Definitely recommend, thanks TikTok for showing this to me." — Anna Get it from Amazon for $11.24 (also available in multipacks). 19. A delightfully practical Stojo collapsible travel cup because it collapses into an itty-bitty, easy-to-store (and easy to travel with!) size. Bonus? You can easily reheat it in the microwave, unlike other travel mugs! Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action. Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics. Promising review:"I take my lunch to work and during mid day I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. It seals well so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt. It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily too. If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you. But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years." — ViciousCycle Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and 24 colors). 20. A power scrubber brush — let's just say your toughest bathroom stains have met their match. This set includes three types of brushes in different shapes and sizes so that every surface, nook, and cranny gets squeaky clean without the need for all that laborious scrubbing. Promising review:"So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." — A. Givens Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six colors). 21. A longline sports bra with a classic V-neckline. It's made of sweat-wicking fabric and goes with, well, anything! Pair it with your fave biker shorts or leggings and you'll be able to go straight from your errand-packed morning to your afternoon spin class. Promising review:"I saw these tanks all over TikTok for being just like the Lulu Aligns. I decided to purchase one and absolutely love it. The fit and style is exactly the same. I will say the material is not as soft and is more like a bathing suit material but overall it's a great purchase!" — M Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 14 colors). 22. A tin of Cirepil blue wax beads so that you can ditch breaking the bank (the pros use this wax anyway!). Now, you can do it yourself. 😉 It removes your finest *and* coarsest hair in minutes. Beware: It'll be almost impossible to stop stroking your skin because of how utterly soft it'll end up feeling. And don't worry — for how effective it is, it's super gentle! Promising review:"Best wax ever. I saw this on someone TikTok and as a first timer I was easily impressed on how easy this was to spread and remove." — L Get it from Amazon for $23.20 (available in three sizes). 23. A large capacity rotating makeup organizer because it'll display all of your everyday beauty essentials and have them super easily accessible while taking up almost no space! A true lifesaver, if you ask me. Promising review:"Just another thing TikTok made me buy! The quality of the plastic is really great and I love that you can move the shelves as you see fit." — Reagan Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in two styles). 24. A compact rolling desk bike to help you get your workout in while answering what you hope is the last email of the day. It has enough room for your laptop, notebooks, phone, coffee mug, and even has a cupholder right under the desk surface. Not only does it let you squeeze some cardio into your day, it also helps you maintain good posture! This desk bike is also height adjustable so you can get your perfect fit with the tray, and has "whisper quiet" pedaling, eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, RPM, and other stats. Promising review:"I saw this in TikTok and I bought it. No regrets! I've used this almost daily since I got it. I'm moving way more than I did before. The tabletop part is a little loose but that might be from me leaning on it too much. It wasn't originally like that. I haven't looked into tightening it. Ten out of ten recommended for someone who's looking to move more!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $269.99+ (available in two colors and three styles). Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works. It's been liked over 2.5 million times! 25. A six-outlet wall charger, which comes with two USB fast-charging ports and a night light so that the charging station in every room of your home is nice and organized. It's just the thing you need for larger chargers that take up too much space! Promising review:"Better than any strip! Saw this on TikTok and it's everything. Love the auto night-light feature. So versatile and compact. Worth every penny. Will be ordering more." — Kellie Get it from Amazon for $17.97 (available in two sizes and three colors). 26. A cable cord-concealing box if you actively avoid looking at that jumble of wires and cables in the corner of your living room. This elegant box keeps the mess hidden while also keeping your kids/dogs away from messing with them. Amazon Promising review: "I bought it because I saw a woman on TikTok showcase something similar like this on her page (on how to keep a home tidy) and I was like I HAD to buy! It's wonderful! I have ALWAYS hated seeing all the clutter of cords stick out from cord extenders and having this makes my small place look cleaner and organized! I would recommend this for anyone!" — Chidi Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 27. A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts which give you top-notch comfort and mobility. These come with an elastic waistband, a relaxed fit, and drumroll please... side pockets! Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it:"I recently bought these shorts because I'm in love with the similar ones you can get at Old Navy, but they sell out so fast. Turns out I love these even more! I love the huge range of colors you can buy these in (at other places they often sell out too quickly to get to pick!), love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys. I only have them in purple so far, but I'm excited to try other colors!" Promising review: "Buy these right now! I saw these on TikTok as being very similar to a pair of Lululemon shorts. I would say the feel of these is more similar to Nike shorts than Lulu but the cut is great and the liner keeps them out of your nooks and crannies when working out. I have already ordered another pair! Sizing is the same as it would be with Nike shorts as well, but I prefer these to the traditional Nike shorts." — Lindsey Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 31 colors).

35 Products That Work So Well, You'll Want To Burst Into Song
1. A pair of teeth-whitening pens to help remove years (!!!) of staining from your pearly whites, simply by applying a thin layer twice a day! Coffee, red wine, chocolate, and other things that stain your teeth no longer have to be your nemesis after adding this pen to your routine — you'll wish you started using this years ago! Each pen can be used up to 20 times. Promising review:"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33+ (also available in packs of four or individually). 2. A genius veggie chopper that can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. It comes with four interchangeable dice blades and a built-in storage container that you can use to prep and store food! You'll have enough time to put on your own rendition of Waitress: The Musical when you're meal-prepping with this cult-favorite gadget! The lid is designed with a built-in chopper and fits the storage container, so it all drops inside after prepping! Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Fullstar is a small business that specializes in unique and functional kitchen gadgets. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get the 4-in-1 style from Amazon for $29.97 (available in four colors and four other styles). 3. Gloves In a Bottle to keep your hands hydrated and protected throughout the day *and* through repeated bouts of washing your hands. It's a big hit with medical professionals who constantly have to sanitize their hands, but you'll find it comes in ~handy~ for preventing irritation and dry skin during regular use, too! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Daniel Boan has to say about this:"I started using this last winter and HIGHLY recommend it. Just one application in the morning is enough to keep my skin feeling soft all day, and it absorbs super quickly. I was worried the "protective barrier" would feel sticky or thick on my skin, but I never notice it! My dry hands feel so much more moisturized and soft since using this. It's a constant staple at my sink now." Gloves In a Bottle is a family-owned small business. Promising review: " I work in the healthcare field, and like many nurses and staff, I was getting REALLY bad dermatitis on the backs of both my hands from the constant washing and gloves. A colleague recommended that I try gloves in a bottle to help because it was to the point that my hands would BURN every time I washed them. So I wash my hands really well before work and use the shielding lotion, and my dermatitis is pretty much gone! I like how the smell isn't too abrasive, and it really does absorb quickly into the skin." — Katelyn Brown Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two scents). 4. A *self-cleaning* grooming brush featuring angled wires for superior detangling and retractable bristles, so all you do is press a button to remove all the hair you've brushed off! It's perfect if your furry companion looks like a member of the Hair cast, complete with the counterculture "long hair, don't care" attitude. I have the fluffiest dog on the planet (a Chow Chow), and well THIS, let me say it in bold THIS BRUSH HERE is quite possibly the most important pet tool I own. It gets everything out of his fur from burrs, thistles, mud, slobber, dirt, and whatever else gets in there! I use it daily, seriously, and it has yet to fail me. My favorite part is being able to click the button and the fur just peels right off the brush, no digging or struggling around bristles like a regular comb at all. I wish I had one of these for my own detangling process. Plus, he loves it! I can literally brush him while he sleeps, no problem. Get it. GET IT NOW. Also, it literally has over 68,000 5-star ratings, so I'm not the only one. Lots of reviewer pets love being brushed by it too! Promising reviews: "A dog brush that I don't have to pick dog hair out of ... At first, I thought this was some form of dark wizardry. But I don't care because this is awesome!" — MaddSweet "I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc for my cats. This is, hands-down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They are looking so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button, and all the hair falls off. The brush itself is bigger than what I anticipated. I thought my cats would be afraid of it, but once they figured out what was happening, they weren't at all. I got the original brush, which I thought would probably feel good (like a good back scratch!) And I was right. They loved it." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in purple or aqua). 5. A Windex outdoor glass cleaner because you deserve to admire the view from your windows instead of looking through streaks of bird poop, pollen dust, winter sludge scum, and bug spatters. This concentrated cleaner is connects to your hose and delivers a streak-free clean, so you don't have to bother with a ladder! Just rinse it off after spraying! Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" — Helena Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.96. 6. An Apple-compatible locator tag, which works exactly like an AirTag for a fraction of the price. Connect it to your Find My Friends app and never worry about where your Bohemian house cat who likes to roam outside is hanging out... probably at the local Jellicle Ball! Each one comes with a waterproof case and silicone holder! Promising review: "Perfect tracker with a stylish touch! They function perfectly with the Apple Find My app, and I use them for my backpack, keys, and luggage. No more worrying about lost things thanks to the extremely accurate tracking and easy setup! I adore that I can rely on it to protect my AirTag in any conditions. This is the perfect tracker if you're an iOS user searching for something dependable, useful, and stylish! Five stars! Highly recommended!" — JoyfulGenius Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four styles and in a four-pack). 7. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that's designed with a lightweight, color-balancing formula infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing shea butter for a reliable coverage solution. Color-balancing in makeup is truly nothing short of practical if it can disappear dark circles and under-eye bags! Because of the color-balancing, each of the shade options is designed to work with a range of skin tones. For example, the light rose would be best for fairer skin and the dark mocha hue would work for deeper skin tones. 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). 8. The no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower spray to get rid of soap scum and mildew taking over your tub or shower stall. Simply spray down your shower and rinse it 8–12 hours later! Satisfied customers have bestowed over 37,000 5-star ratings for how it helps them work smarter, not harder, when it comes to knocking out chores. Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack). 9. OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish designed with a 60-second quick-drying time for a chip-resistant, smudge-proof finish. It comes in over 25 semi-sheer shades, so you can keep one in your purse or pack several while you travel to get the perfect mani on the go! And here's one TikToker who says this polish is a "hack" for someone always running late and shows us the 60-second drying process in real time! Promising review: "This is my go to nail polish. The fact that it's fast drying is a plus. It's so pretty and it has the most beautiful colors. It has excellent longevity especially when paired with a top coat. I also feel as if it can go with so many different outfits/colors because of the changes of the color in different lights. It would be even better if it were a bit darker so I wouldn't need to apply as many layers. Definitely recommend!" — Mama N Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 shades). 10. A bottle of earwax removal drops if you're constantly feeling plugged up and want to do something about it without making a doctor's appointment (and shelling out for a hefty copay). This easy-to-use microfoaming carbamide peroxide solution begins working in seconds to loosen up hardened earwax, so you can flush it away and enjoy hearing your neighbor's in-time reviews of your midnight, one-person production of Hamilton — 10/10! BTW to properly irrigate your ear after using these drops, you'll need either a classic bulb syringe or this fancier, quad-stream syringe designed specifically for wax removal. Promising review:"Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored, because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterward, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 11. Retinol body lotion featuring skin-loving ingredients like vitamins A and E, shea butter, green tea, and aloe vera to help keep your skin moisturized and hydrated while also reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and even sun damage! If that's something you're interested in, of course. Promising review:"I had to take some time out of my day to sit down and tell you about this lotion because, holy moly. I have NEVER gone through a full bottle of lotion before. But this stuff??? Magic in a freaking bottle! I have been using this over the course of two years and I'm absolutely in love. It keeps my skin truly moisturized and doesn't leave an oily residue like most lotions. It really absorbs into my skin. I originally got this to help with my stretch marks from carrying my son but one day I used it as a face moisturizer because I was out of my face cream and I have been using only this since then. It doesn't dry my face out, it doesn't clog my pores, it doesn't make my face ungodly greasy. This stuff is literally a game changer for my skin!" — Chrystal W. Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 12. A powerful dishwashing spray, which breaks down grease and food debris *in minutes*, in turn saving you loads of time by eliminating the need to pre-soak your dishes. Just spray and wipe the mess away... guess you'll have to find a new chore that prompts belting "It's A Hard Knock Life" at the top of your lungs! 🥲 Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say:"I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well." Promising review:"This Dawn is AMAZING! Spray, let it sit for a few minutes and wipe or spray clean. No elbow grease needed to get pot and pans squeaky clean!" — StaySea7 Get one spray and three refills from Amazon for $12.25. 13. A jar of the internet-beloved The Pink Stuff — it helps you tackle the most difficult messes that pop up in your home, like a one-of-a-kind permanent marker art piece on your wall or a scuff on your brand-new sneakers before even stepping outside. Plus, it'll do it all with the least amount of elbow grease you've had to use in a while. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match. Promising review:"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stovetop and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" — Micaela Gunderson Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 14. A fungal nail renewal treatment formulated with lactic acid, urea, and propylene glycol to help reduce discoloration, thicken your nails, and leave them looking smoother and healthier! It's truly a must if you've been looking for a solution to brittle toenails and other visible fungal damage that may be preventing you from confidently wearing open-toed shoes. Hey Siri, play "Strut" by The Cheetah Girls! 💃 Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked 'til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available with or without a nail file). 15. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, which boasts a blend of collagen and protein to help restore and repair damaged hair that's been through... a lot (read: dye jobs, heat damage, and even sun damage). Bring your hair back to life and show off your silky and voluminous tresses that look like you just left the salon. Don't worry, your secret is safe with us! This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review:"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn't worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus, you can't beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that's been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" — BB Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60. 16. The compact Levoit air purifier with a HEPA-grade filter for removing dander, dust, pollen, smoke, and daily odors from your home while barely making a peep! This is definitely a must-have for anyone who owns a pet or deals with allergies throughout the year. Honestly, having fresher air around the house is the perfect excuse for singing "Breathe" from In The Heights... in case you needed a real reason. Promising reviews: "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 two of the smaller version of this same purifier for the two 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 "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 18x18. 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 it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in black and white, plus four styles, including a WiFi-enabled version). 17. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that effortlessly banishes calluses, cracks, and dead skin from your soles and heels. It also boasts glycerin for softening and hydrating the skin afterward. With this in your arsenal, you'll be ready to embrace sandal and flip-flop season arms wide open! To use this, simply presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended to use this product in tandem with a foot file afterward to make sure no gel residue or dead skin remains! Promising review:"Best product I've ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1 million stars, I would. If you're someone who's had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" — Jess Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents and in packs of two). 18. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara featuring innovative "tubing" technology to wrap around your eyelashes and deliver natural-looking length and volume with a smudge-proof finish. Plus, the "tubing" makes it SO much easier to remove your makeup without any specialized cleaners or abrasive scrubbing! Not-so-falsies for less than $10? NEED. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord (pictured above) has to say: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 19. The ChomChom roller — it's a reusable pet hair remover with a patented brush design, so all you have to do is simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber.

Over 140,000 reviewers have bestowed it with a 5-star trophy, I mean rating, and we agree: If a member of your household happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy. Promising reviews: " We have two cats, one with long white hair who sheds a lot. I use this mostly on my furniture, comforter, and area rugs. It works wonderfully and is so easy to clean. Love that there is no sticky paper to throw away. A must-have for pet owners." — Steve Fadelli "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 two colors). 20. Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil infused with biotin and a blend of jojoba, rosemary, and mint oils to help nourish and moisturize the scalp and skin, which can also help your hair when it comes to strength and growth!

According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there's not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" — Claire Blanchard Get it from Amazon for $9.97 21. A two-pack of reusable mop pads that offers a more sustainable way of cleaning by getting rid of wasteful disposable mop pads. Reviewers even say these reusable pads are more efficient at cleaning by picking up more dirt and grime, and all you have to do is throw them in the washer! Each reusable mop pad replaces up to 100 disposable pads and can be used up to 100 times with proper washing. Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $17!

Promising review:"This is a MUST-HAVE. I stopped cleaning to come write this review! These pads are amazing!!! We have a lot of fur baby hair in our apartment and I honestly feel like these pads trap the hair better than the throw-away ones!! I am always on the lookout for more sustainable cleaning options and I absolutely love love love these!! Thank you!!" — Isabella M. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95. 22. Lumify Eye Drops to help reduce redness in record time. It didn't climb its way to being a number one seller for no reason — according to reviewers, you see results in just minutes! Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.93 23. A bottle of Nyx matte setting spray because you want to be confident that your makeup actually makes it to *and* through the day without worrying about sweating, crying, or wiping it off. AKA it is a must-have for any aspiring thespian to keep your makeup SET from "curtain call" to the reprisal encore sing-a-long! Promising review:"Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of tissues. But otherwise it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I've used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." — DH Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in two sizes, and also dewy and radiant finishes). 24. A bottle of signature Fur Oil for softening and cleansing pubic hair and skin to tackle those pesky ingrowns and deliver more moisturized and smoother skin below the belt. Lots of reviewers nabbed this on recommendation from their go-to wax professionals and swear by using it in their post-wax routine! Promising reviews:"I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming that shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never not removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, and the smell is so-so. It is a very small bottle for the price. I will continue to use this combination of products, though, because I know it works. I am satisfied." — In the know "Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." — Megan Harmeyer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and bundles). 25.

Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! Check out the Bissell Little Green machine on TikTok! Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried different spray cleaners and techniques but couldn't get the smell out. I was convinced I'd need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I'd have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I'm excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $99.99. 26.

My toddler had been having accidents on the sofa. I had been scrubbing tirelessly almost every week to get the urine smell out. I tried the baking soda, water, etc., but nothing worked! I was self-conscious about family visiting. Until I came across this product. When I tell you the URINE SMELL IS GONE, it's gone! This product is a must-have. Buy now." — Amazonian Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes). 27. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm formulated with pearl barley and vitamin E to hydrate and nourish your skin during cleaning. You only need a dime-size amount, and this balm melts on contact into an effective removal oil that works SO MUCH BETTER than disposable wipes. Juno & Co. is a small business based in California specializing in sustainable, yet effective skincare. Promising review:"I've loved the Farmacy Green Clean for many years, but at $30+ for a jar that lasts 1–2 months max, it was a pricey product to buy on a regular basis. I wanted something just as good at a lower price and I FOUND IT! This cleanser absolutely melts away makeup and deep cleans the skin without any drying or eye irritation! It smells great and a little goes a loooonng way — I'm in love!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 28. A long-handled standing weeder for removing those unwanted plants, weeds, and whatever else begins popping up in your yard and garden bed between tending. It's designed with three steel claws to grip weeds *and* roots, so you can pull them out without bending over! Amazon Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based family-owned small business specializing in weeding tools. Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it from Amazon for $32.99. 29. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that effortlessly deep cleans and deodorizes your garbage disposal and pipes that have probably gone a little too long without your attention. 😬 It removes hidden bacteria, leaves a lemon-fresh scent, and can even help extend the life of your disposal! Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica House Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.67 (available in three quantities). 30. Revlon's oil-absorbing volcanic face roller — it's an infinitely washable volcanic stone roller ball that soaks up excess oil and delivers an instant matte finish in seconds, leaving your makeup intact. Miss Baltimore Crabs in Hairspray is a straight-up villain for saying "Oh! Shiny." to her daughter, but this product *does* work so well, you'll break out into "You Can't Stop The Beat!" (Get it?) Plus, you won't have to search around for trash cans to toss your blotting papers *or* take up precious handbag space carrying setting powder and a brush everywhere with you! Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B. Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 31. Bella's Ceramic Fold-n-Store Dual Griddle just perfect if your kitchen is lacking counter space.

It's big enough to cook for the family but folds up neatly for easy storage. The non-stick surface works perfectly—nothing sticks, and cleanup is super quick. The dual temperature controls are a nice bonus, letting you cook different foods at once. It's a simple, reliable tool that makes cooking so much easier!" — SAMAS Get it from Amazon for $49.96+ (available in four colors). 32. A glasses lens cleaner with a dual-sided design featuring a small brush for removing dirt/dust on one side and a microfiber pad on the other to wipe away oils and smears with a streak-free finish.

You'll be oh-so-grateful that your past self put one of these in your bag or desk drawer, so you can clean your glasses whenever things are looking a little foggy. 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 21 styles and multipacks). 33. A manual flossing toothbrush designed with several layers of soft bristles to reach between teeth, under the gums, and deep into hard-to-reach spaces that regular brushing can't get. Plus, reviewers say it feels SUPER gentle even on sensitive teeth! Just FYI, this toothbrush is not a substitute for flossing, and if you have any concerns about using this make sure to talk to your dentist! Mouthwatchers is a dentist-founded small business that specializes in creating toothbrushes to help patients get a truly deep clean. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these, and here's her take:" 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 absolutely love this toothbrush!! TikTok made me buy it and I will never own anything else again. My teeth feel clean all day long like I went to the dentist but better. I even have a sonic toothbrush and this blows it out of the water. Don't hesitate…buy this for your teeth!" — Amy Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99. 34. A nail strengthening cream, which helps condition cuticles and promote nail growth with a nourishing combination of urea, shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and other moisturizing and reparative ingredients. With consistent use, you'll be showing off your IG-worthy manicures in no time! Promising review:"My natural nails are thin and brittle, and have a tendency to split, peel, and break. Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several time a day and after two months my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my fingertips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." — M. Hill Get it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in two scents). 35. A hard-working toilet pumice stone to make your porcelain throne sparkle from the inside out. This stone tackles those tough, nasty, almost impossible jobs, including rust, mineral deposits, soap scum, and other buildup and stains on hard surfaces. Promising review: " This is an absolute game changer. There was a blackish stain on the bottom of the inside of a toilet in my house from before we even bought the place, and this demolished it in less than five minutes of work. I'm absolutely astounded. I immediately took it to all the rest of the toilets in the house because now that I know how clean ours can look, I never want to go back!" — Dana Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in multipacks).

33 Practical Products That Are Downright Responsible Purchases
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 · Including two picks that might just help you make coffee at home — for real this time. 1. A ChomChom roller ready to put your regular old lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets 'til you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out. PS: ChomChom is a small biz! Here's more from BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes (those are her photos above!): " I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside." Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 2. A veggie chopper so you can dice up an onion as impressively as former VP Kamala Harris. If you haven't seen it, I'm gonna need you to open another tab and promptly google "Kamala Harris and Mindy Kaling cook masala dosa" because, man, it is a thing of beauty. Amazon Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of their veggie chopper in action. Promising review:"This is the best of its kind. It cuts great and is very sturdy — I had been using a lesser model. I even cubed chicken breasts today, plus cauliflower, onions, and more. I was a chef for 30 years, and I love this so much I had to review it straight away!" — david fasnacht Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). 3. Elizavecca's Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment — it works just like a hair mask to repair your locks in five minutes flat. The Ceramide 3- and collagen-packed formula repairs all types of hair, whether you've got over-processed tresses or 4c hair that's susceptible to dryness. Reviewers even say this $8 product is comparable to Olaplex No. 3! Promising reviews:"I bought this based on a review in a BuzzFeed article. I have long, thick, curly hair and use this maybe once a week. I get a ton of compliments every time, and I absolutely love the way my hair feels afterward. So amazingly soft. I use it in the shower and usually wash my hair and then towel dry it. I put a small amount in my hair, mostly on the roots. Let it sit while I shave my legs, and then rinse it out and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. I allow my hair to air dry, and bam, amazing hair. This will forever be part of my hair routine now." — m. damocles " THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. Super easy to apply. I have fine curly hair, and it leaves my hair glossy and soft without weighing it down. Works better than any Moroccan Oil, L'Oréal, or Briogeo product I've used and is wayyyyy cheaper. Gifted a bottle to a friend with very thick curly hair, and they said it works amazing on them, too. Just do it once a week and you're set!" — Mid-west Get it from Amazon for $7.60. Read our review of Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment to learn more about why one BuzzFeeder calls it, "the miracle product I've been searching for." 4.

Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez "We have these on every ceiling fan in our house and have noticed such a difference since installing them! There is less dust on our furniture, and the general air quality in our rooms has improved. There is no longer dust build-up on our fan blades. Super easy to install!" — Hannah McClam Get a pack of three from Amazon for $21.99. 5. A Scrub Daddy cleaning bundle with everything you need to tackle that cracked molasses bottle that has now adhered itself to your pantry shelf. Sure, you noticed it a few weeks ago, but you weren't mentally prepared to address it quite yet — and you didn't have a Scrub Mommy on your side. What's included: Three Scrub Mommy sponges, PowerPaste, Tangerine Clean, and PowErase Gel. Promising review: "First of all this was a really great deal, three sponges and three cleaners. Each sponge is a different color so that you can use them for separate things. Blue for bathroom, pink for dishes, etc. The gel cleanser stuff is my absolute favorite! A little goes a long way, but I have used it to remove stains from my kids clothes, wash the counters, windows, mirrors. It's like a miracle all-in-one cleaner, and best of all it's non-toxic. There's no bleach or nasty chemicals that hurt my nose or hands when cleaning. I really love this stuff!" — Arielle Stewart Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 6. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets that take your go-to water bottle from nasty to gleaming in just minutes. Idk who needs to hear this, but "rinsing" it with water everyday isn't enough. 😔 Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8. 7. A handy portable car vacuum if your toddler's favorite game is to throw their Cheerios all over the backseat and then grind them into the cushions and floorboards on their way out of the car. 🙃 It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle! Promising review:"Best little thing ever!!! Don't have to pay $20 a month for a car wash lol." — Alissa Littlejohn Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in four styles). 8. A pair of machine-washable "flat socks" that create a moisture-wicking barrier between your foot and your shoe's insole so you don't end up with stinky, sweaty dogs. If your next travel plans include a day at Disney, walking 60,000 steps in a new-to-you city, or people-mover-ing a mile from airport security to your terminal, these bad boys will come in handy. Promising review: "Wow! They're better than I hoped for. They fit my shoes great, and they don't slide at all. They look cute, and they wash really well. The first time I washed them, I was nervous, but they came out of the dryer looking good as new. They don't smell at all after wearing them, and they are very comfortable. I definitely recommend them!!" — MelJoy Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and nine designs). 9. Some 100% bio-based face wipes — they're just the ticket if BeautyTok has convinced you to ditch regular towels, which, even when freshly laundered, can harbor acne-causing bacteria. These are 100% USDA-certified bio-based, meaning they're made entirely from plant-based materials and better for the environment than your regular disposable wipes. Clean Skin Club is a small business that launched in 2019 to create innovative natural skincare products. Promising reviews: " Starting in my 30s, I had developed some acne, and not just around that time of month. I read your bath towels can develop bacteria every few days if they're not washed, and so putting that on your face can cause acne. That's why I bought these towels! I use them after my skincare routine on my face, and then again, to clean up our sink (yay for double use)! They have cleaned up my skin significantly, and I highly recommend these!" — Jaclyn O "I've dealt with mild acne and terrible scarring since I was in 8th grade. I'm 30 now. I haven't had one pimple since I've switched to using these. I use the same towel for about 3–4 days, which is 6–8 uses, so it's not even necessary to use a new one every day / every use. They're really wonderful." — Dami Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in other pack sizes). 10. A roll-on sunscreen sponge if you can't stannnnnd greasy hands — especially when you're surrounded by sand. Just fill it up with your SPF of choice and use the roller ball to easily apply it. It's so simple that kids can even get in on the action. Amazon Reviewers recommend using a more watery sunscreen; if your preferred sunscreen is quite thick, this may not work for you. And JSYK, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says most adults need about an ounce (the equivalent of a shot glass) of sunscreen to cover their face and body adequately. Promising review: "Not just for kids. I told all my friends it's awesome. Pricey, but better than wasting expensive sunscreen in globs. This makes the sun screening process much less messy and not as much of a drudgery. They even have replacement pads available so the ergonomic container can be reused indefinitely. Consider one to keep at home and one packed to travel. MAKES A GREAT GIFT FOR KIDS. They can almost apply sunscreen on their own with little assistance." — Bette Henry Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (available in 10 colors). 11. Some Lee Beauty callus remover that eliminates the hard skin on your hooves (ahem, :::clears throat::: feet) if you're too terrified to face the glorified cheese grater at your local salon. Promising review: "I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions. I left it on my super dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those used tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents). 12. A set of adjustable mug organizers so you can confidently open your cupboard knowing an avalanche of mugs isn't about to fall on you. Elypro — the creator of this nifty product — is a small biz! Promising review: "I came across these in an Amazon review on TikTok and I just had to have them for my mugs. I have a lot of mugs, but no space. I didn't want a hanging mechanism for the mugs I just needed a way to stack them. This is such a great product to help stack mugs. They're easily adjustable for any size mug. They don't topple over, they're very sturdy. One of the best space savers I have in the kitchen!" — Magdalynn Tibbetts Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 13. A durable plastic clear toy blocker if your pet's favorite pastime is shoving their toys under the oven and then full-volume barking/meowing at you until you free them, just to repeat the process all over again. Amazon It can also be used to help discourage smaller animals from hiding under furniture! Promising review: " This product is GENIUS! My husband and I jokingly said how we wished there was something we could put under our couches to block toys from being lost under there and with one good old Amazon search, of course it exists! We used to spend literally a half hour each night trying to knock the toys back out from under the couch with a broom and now we never have to do that again. It was quick and easy to install and now toys bounce right off of it and go back to the center of the living room making for the easiest cleanup ever." — Truthful_Reviews Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in eight sizes). 14. A set of bedsheet holders that are basically like suspenders for your mattress, because nothing ruins a morning like having the corner of your fitted sheet pop off as you roll over. Each pack comes with four bands that can stretch from 12–18 inches and hold adequate tension. Promising review:"These bands are great! We have an adjustable bed and had bought sheets that are big enough but they pop off constantly — to the point where I had all but given up on keeping them on the bed. I looked up ways to fix the problem without having to buy new sheet sets in a bigger size and found these. They are super easy to use, so if they aren't working right, that's due to user error. These little guys are a time-saving genius idea that I wish I would have purchased years ago." — K Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors and four pack sizes). 15. A medication tracker you can stick to the side of any prescription you regularly forget to take. Now there'll be noooo question as to whether that headache you have is from existing solely on iced coffee or the fact that you've gone three days without your Prozac. Promising review:"I absolutely love this product! I have a couple of daily medications, and oftentimes I forget whether I've taken them and/or whether I've taken the second dose. Recently, I inadvertently took a double dose because I couldn't remember whether I had taken the medication or not. This product solves the problem. There is even a satisfying feeling I get when I 'click' the tabs. Genius little invention." — Tiffany Maggard Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in a two-pack). 16. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows because you haven't replaced yours in ohhh, three or four years? If they have sweat marks and unexplained stains... they're a lost cause, boo. Amazon, Promising review: "I've been on the hunt to buy a down pillow like the ones I slept on at the top-rated Loews Hotel in Philly. This is that pillow! I've bought pillows online many times but nothing compared. This is the first pillow I've ever bought that didn't hurt my neck or make me regret spending the money. I will absolutely be ordering another set! Absolutely the comfiest pillow, you won't regret it. I never write reviews but just had to because I know the search for pillows is difficult when you can't feel them. I promise you won't regret it!" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes; clip the coupon for 20% off this price!) 17. A tub of The Pink Stuff that can clean anything you throw at it be it shower fixtures or toothpaste-covered countertops. Check it out on TikTok here! And here's what BuzzFeed editor/The Pink Stuff fan Heather Braga has to say: "After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning." Promising review:"For those who gave less than 5 stars…what were you trying to clean? I had built-up grease on the backsplash behind my stove that I hadn't noticed, which had probably been there for years. I've tried pretty much every product on the market — they didn't work. This product took that grease off within seconds. That worked so quickly. I was so happy I started cleaning other items: the stainless sink, oven, and microwave. This is the best thing ever — and if they increase their price to $50, I'll still buy it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE." — RVT Get it from Amazon for $5.29. 18. A shelving unit designed specifically for your water bottle and travel mug collection. First, TikTok got you to buy a Stanley and then it got you to buy an Owala, and honestly, you know you'll get whatever's next, too. PS: YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review:"I have a bad habit of buying reusable water bottles. This one is cute, this one has this feature, this one has that. What resulted was a cluttered cabinet, a ton of water bottles falling on me every time I went to get one, and I was only using the handful right at the front. This is a great solution! It keeps the cupboard organized, and I can see what I have and quickly grab the bottle I need. As a bonus, it also creates a built-in limitation on how many water bottles I can have at any given time. Really recommend." — Miki Get it on Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes). 19. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles. One layer is regular firm ones, and the other is longer ones that are 10 times thinner and mimic floss as they get between your teeth but are gentle on your gums. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Promising review: "I've been using Dr. Plotka's toothbrushes for a while now, and I can't emphasize enough how good these are. These, hands down, are the best I've ever used. The bristles are very thin so you are actually flossing as you brush. Because the bristles are as thin as they are, I just assumed they'd wear out super fast, but I was wrong. The statement 'naturally eliminates 99.9% of bacteria' hooked me, and I'm glad I took a chance. The bristles are soft — but with a punch. I'm having to use less effort getting my teeth clean because the thin bristles get right in between my teeth. I definitely highly recommend this product." — Lisa Stepanski Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90. 20. A self-expanding shower curtain that gives you way more room, prevents dreaded curtain cling, and doesn't require a curved rod! It's so easy to set up, you don't even need rings. Amazon Space is a small business that's passionate about eliminating curtain cling and giving people more shower space! Their design is also machine-washable, so you don't have to replace it like a run-of-the-mill liner. Promising review: "Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a tiny bathroom in an old apartment building, so I have an untreated window that needs to be covered with a shower curtain inside my shower. Every time I'd shower, I'd be attacked by curtains from both sides. That is until I purchased this curtain. It gives so much more room in the shower, like a curved shower rod, but without all that hardware and work associated with it. It's weighted enough so it doesn't move, either. I'm no longer attacked by my shower curtains. 100% would purchase again." — Brittany Hopkins Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in five colors). 21. A foldable nonslip sink cover if you have zeroooo vanity space to work with. This lil' tray gives you a sturdy surface without blocking your faucet, so if you're doing makeup and need to wet your Beautyblender, you don't have to rearrange everything. PS: Sink Topper is a small biz! Promising reviews: "Worth every penny! I was about to buy a brand new vanity! This product saved me over $1,000 bucks!" — Barbara Mulvey "Came across this on IG, and immediately went looking for one. It's very well designed in terms of stability, so as long as you obviously put your heavier items along the perimeter, it's super sturdy. I'm moving, and there is no sink space at the new place, so this is simply a godsend (especially with the hot flat iron issue and not wanting to burn the sink). The faucet gap is perfect, so if anyone needs to use the sink while you're getting ready, you don't have to move everything. It's just a really solid product, and I'm glad I came across it." — J Kit Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 22. A magnetic laundry guard that prevents items from falling into no man's land — aka the two inches of lint-caked space between your washer/dryer and the wall. Promising review:"Oh, how I love this laundry guard! I have very little counter space in my laundry room and this allows me to use all that space on top of the washer and dryer for folding clothes. No more fishing socks and underwear from behind the machines! I love it, and so does everyone else who visits and sees it for the first time. The magnets hold it in place very well. There is not a lot of shifting unless I throw something large and heavy up there, but it's an easy adjustment to get it back in place. Good quality, not flimsy at all. I highly recommend this product." — Christa Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in two colors). 23. A tube of BodyGlide anti-chafe balm because enjoying the breeze for a few hours in a pair of shorts or a skirt shouldn't result in a days-long angry red rash. Amazon, Promising review:"The real hero of every music festival. I wore (and shared with friends) at a very hot, sweaty Bonnaroo with ZERO CHAFING. This has zero odor or stickiness, and lasts a long time. I'll bring it with me anywhere I might be sweating and walking in shorts or a skirt. A must-have for the summer." — Kelliente Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and packs of one or two). 24. A bottle of COSRX snail mucin repairing essence that addresses dullness and dehydration with — yes 😌 — 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! 🐌 Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: " I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" Promising review: "The reviews didn't lie! This serum is amazing. It is better than my $125 department store brand! Some people said it felt slimy, but if you've used other serums, there's no difference in texture. I wait 'til it's dry before adding my moisturizers and am very pleased!" — MAK Get it from Amazon for $18.95. 25. A flat outlet plug designed to be placed behind furniture or in other areas where you'd like to eliminate some clutter because visible cords are the absolute bane of your existence. Promising review: "Very, very nice. I am a renter so putting a huge hole in the wall to hide my wires was not going to happen. After searching for something that could help with the look of the wires in my living room, I was glad to have come across this socket! I love it. I just installed it last night, I'm extremely happy with the look and the adhesive works really good. I highly recommend it :)" — Nlizr Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four different lengths). 26. Anua's Heartleaf Cleanser — it goes after blackheads and general congestion so aggressively that some reviewers even say you can see 👀 the dirt and dead skin get flushed out. Promising review: "WOW GUYS!!!! This pore-cleansing oil is AMAZING!!! My cousin told me about how it went viral on TikTok, so I thought I would try it, and it's been working wonders. I have tried so many face washes and nose strips, but with this, my blackheads and pores are shrinking tremendously. It also smells good and makes my skin very soft. I use it right after I get out of the shower while my pores are still warm and opened up — then I rub circles with two squirts of the oil on my face for about a minute and rinse it off. This is a miracle worker!!! Goodbye blackheads!!" — SK Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 27. A cold brew coffee maker with — if you can even believe it — more than 52,000 5-star Amazon reviews! The BPA-free pitcher can make four servings of cold brew at a time and with whatever ground coffee you prefer. After you let it steep, a fine-mesh filter keeps the grounds from flowing into your cup. Promising review: "This Takeya cold brew coffee jug is wonderful! This cold brew jug has only four pieces: the jug, the handle, the lid, and the coffee filter. The coffee filter has an extremely fine mesh, and it has not let through even the finest of coffee grounds. It is really easy to clean! The coffee will have a great flavor within eight hours; however, it is most potent by 24 hours and stays fresh up to 72 hours, in my opinion. Overall, I am really pleased with this purchase!" — LiliBelle Get it from Amazon for $16.69+ (available in two sizes and three colors). Interested in reading more? Check out our full review of the cold brew maker. 28. Or if you already have a Keurig or coffeepot — a HyperChiller beverage cooler that allows you to turn hot coffee into iced coffee in 60 seconds flat. Just promise yourself that you'll fill the container with water and keep it in your freezer so it's always ready when you need it. The dishwasher-safe container can also be used to cool chill tea, juice, wine, or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either. Promising review: "I am an avid (i.e., daily) iced coffee drinker, but I have been extremely hesitant to make my own iced coffee at home because I didn't want the bitter flavor from two-day-old coffee or the watered-down nature of just adding ice to coffee. Thanks to the HyperChiller, I have now found a solution!!! The HyperChiller worked like a CHARM today!!! I was able to create my own iced coffee directly from my coffee maker in the comfort of my own home. I guarantee this item will be used frequently! Great job!" — Chelsea Get it from Amazon for $12.75+ (available in five colors). 29. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash so you can still take a moment to treat yourself even if you don't have time for an everything shower. Reviewers say the white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber scent lasts on their skin all day and even delightfully lingers in their bathroom. BuzzFeeder Emma Lord is a fan! Here's what she has to say: "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 30. A pack of duster sponges that — once dampened — collect ALL the dust, dirt, and pet hair that's accumulated on your shelves and around your baseboards. Tis' the time for their once-yearly clean! Promising reviews: "These are exactly like the Scrub Daddy's. Only hella cheaper." — kr425 "I had low expectations for this. But I'm really happy to find that they do work really well for a much better price than the name brand. It's pretty much the same as the name-brand damp duster, except that the grooves are slightly wider. Dusted tops and fronts of my cabinets in about five minutes, but I'm most impressed with how well it removes pet hair from my couch and clothes even better than sticky rollers. I have Pomeranians blowing out their winter undercoats, so it's my new fav thing." — onon Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in packs of two, four, and eight and in five colors). 31. An as-seen-on- Shark Tank seat gap filler you can pop in your center console to ensure you never drop another french fry, phone, or credit card into that evil little crevice!!! Amazon Check it out on TikTok! Promising review:"I bought this product because I saw it on Shark Tank. I was a little skeptical at first, so I installed it and tried dropping my car keys into the seat gap, and surely enough, they wouldn't fall in. I tried dropping them from every position: in front of the seat buckle, behind the seat buckle, in the middle of the seat gap, you name it, and no matter where I put my keys, they just wouldn't fall through. This product should be in every car! I'm so impressed by this product I've bought additional Drop Stops for every member of my immediate family." — Amazon Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99. 32. A gel polish starter kit if you're sick of paying $60+ for a basic mani (plus that's not including tip) and you've got plenty of time on your hands anyways. Amazon What's included: Base coat, cuticle fork, pusher and oil, bristle brush and brush duster, nail file and buffer, nail clipper and separators, 12 gel polish colors, gloss-shine top coat, and matte top coat. Promising review: "Goodbye, salon. Hello, my new pastime. I absolutely love this kit, and I tell everyone. I do my own nails now. They look salon quality for literally pennies. I use all Beetles products. There is a learning curve, but practice and patience make perfect and then your nails look bomb. This kit helps as you don't have to try to mix and match everything — it's all in one place. These are quality products. The kit does not disappoint." — Sara_Nicole Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 11 variations). 33. A WD-40 pen so you can easily lubricate all of the squeaky hinges in your home. Now, you'll be able to close your doors in peace. Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
