35 Problem-Solving Products So Good At Their Jobs They Deserve An "Employee Of The Year" Award

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 · This TikTok-beloved Deli ProKeeper is so good at its job of keeping your meat and cheese fresh that it's quite literally never off the clock. 1. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder to absorb oil and blur pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy ✨. Amazon, 2. A bottle of callus-removing gel so effective at sloughing off dead, hardened skin that one reviewer described it as, " Horrifically satisfying." It's also super easy — you presoak your feet, apply for five minutes, and rub a pumice stone or foot file on the calluses and corns to watch them effortlessly slide off. You can grab a pumice stone or foot file on Amazon! Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in an extra strength version). 3. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a beloved K-beauty staple for MEGA hair hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees, so you can style your hair without sacrificing on ✨shine✨. This unique blend of seven-oil blend Moroccan argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oil not only protects hair, but helps correct damage from dryness, *and* reduces drying time. Promising review: " Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn't leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower, when my hair is still damp, I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on, and then after I blow dry it, I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast, and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" — Tara Klein Get it from Amazon for $12.94+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas). 4. A nail renewal formula so effective at restoring discolored, damaged nails that reviewers started seeing results in as little as *two days*. This not only helps tackle symptoms of fungal damage, but helps reduce the thickness and correct the ridges, so your toenails can get the sweet relief they deserve. Promising review: 'AMAZING!!! I followed the directions exactly and saw results within a week! My big toe has been in bad shape for about eight years. It is quickly changing the color of my toe nail back to normal, my nail is becoming thin again, and the curve in my nail is moving back to its normal position. I HIGHLY recommend this product! I can't wait to see the final result once I complete the process. Don't hesitate, JUST GET IT!!" — Mariaelena Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (also available with nail files). 5. The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls. If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it " gold in a jar" and " witchcraft." This is the perfect alternative to pricey paint jobs and replacing cookware! Check out a TikTok of the Sqeezy in action. Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn't look brand-new like I was hoping, it's 10 times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99. 6. Hanalei Lip Treatment to help *aggressively* restore and moisturize lips overnight, thanks to a truly luxe blend of Hawaiian kukui nut oil, antioxidant-rich agave, and grapeseed oils. If you've been trying product after product trying to outrun your dry, cracked lips, this is the hydration holy grail you're looking for. Amazon, Hanalei is a small business that specializes in lip and body care products. Promising review: "It keeps your lips kissable and soft!!!! I love love love this product. I've been using it for the past few years and it's by far one of the BEST lip moisturizing products I've ever used!!!! If you want soft, nourishing lip treatment, well, this is the product for you!!! Hey, hurry up before I order them all! 🥰" — P. Washington Get it from Amazon for $13.08 (available in clear and four colors). 7. An SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar, a K-beauty staple with a curved balm stick style that makes it super quick and easy to apply, and a non-sticky, white cast-free formula that plays ABSURDLY well with makeup. If you're looking for a lightweight "soft matte" sunscreen to protect your skin, this is your new BFF. Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." — Martina Get it from Amazon for $18.79. 8. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles). 9. Olay Super Serum Body Wash that will make anyone with dry or dull skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel as ~luminous~ as the sun. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.) Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Olay Super Serum Body Wash in action. Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in three styles for Normal, Extra Dry, and Rough & Bumpy skin). 10. A set of disposable Plackers "Grind No More" Night Guards for anyone who sleeps like this 😬😬😬 and wakes up like this. 😫 Each one of these grind-absorbing bite plates can be used up to 30 times to help reduce the tension from grinding your teeth in the middle of the night. Psst — this is also a MUCH cheaper alternative to costly bite guards that go for hundreds of dollars! Amazon, Promising review: "Earlier this week my dentist advised that I get a bite guard. The cost was $700 but I could have one for $500. I decided to try a less expensive alternative. I purchased these and woke up this morning pain free. They are comfortable and I had no problem falling asleep. Pain is gone and I saved $500. I would say that's a win-win." — Charles Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $20.48 (available in larger packs and with included dental floss). 11. A set of Victoria's Secret–inspired seamless "invisible" underwear so soft and stretchy your butt will want to *sing* when you slide them on. This is a true holy grail underwear that doesn't show, doesn't ride up, and somehow manages to look cute all at the same time. Check out a TikTok of the seamless underwear in action. Promising review: "These are my new favorite. They are comfortable and do not show under all my clothes. They are super soft too and hold up all day without gapping. I have been buying Victoria's Secret underwear for many years spending unnecessary money. I'll repurchase these over and over again." — Joshua Psst — if you're looking for a thong option, reviewers are obsessed with these Skims-inspired thongs that are also on Amazon! Get a set of six from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 12 sets). 12. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. 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." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 13. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It's basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!! Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I put it on every night and morning. I've been using a little over a month and you can already tell a difference. My dark circles are hereditary, so I truly thought nothing would work. However this stuff IS GREAT!" — Shay M. Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 14. An adjustable cervical cooling pillow designed to make your neck as comfy and pain-free as possible, using its unique contoured design to cradle your head and support your neck's natural curve. Honestly, the cooling fabric is just a bonus for this little overachiever. Promising review: "I love this pillow. I have been searching for a comfortable pillow for years. I am a side sleeper and have had neck and shoulder pain for over 10 years. I have been using this pillow for almost two weeks, and the pain is gone. It takes a few days to get used to, but after that, it is great. I have a Sleep Number bed that tracks sleep quality, and my sleep score has increased dramatically since using this pillow." — Bill Kobylarek Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in three styles). 15. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. Promising review:"This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" — Mona L Cureton Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33. 16. A hairbrush cleaning tool designed with a pointy end to easily rake hair out of your beloved brush in one go, plus bristles to get rid of all the build-up left behind. Now you just have to deal with that giant hairball when it tries to reincarnate as a Furby. Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes says about it:"I finally tried out this tool with my Crave Naturals brush, which I used for (*checks Amazon order history*) TWO YEARS without every doing a deep clean of it. I mean, sure, I would regularly pull out the loose hair and whatever I could get to using my fingers, but there was always this gross layer at the bottom I couldn't reach, and I kind of just tried my best to pretend it wasn't there. LET ME TELL YOU: This tool is genius. With barely any effort, it pulled out that gross, years-old layer of *stuff* at the bottom of my brush (the photo above shows that layer already ~dislodged~ by the tool, right before I pulled it out), and now I don't have to feel disgusting every time I run it through my hair. It actually feels like it's doing a better job of *brushing* now too! Seriously, if you are a human with brushable hair on your head, you need this." Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 17. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 18. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a reviewer-beloved, TikTok-famous beauty prod that lives up to the hype — this is infused with biotin so it doesn't just strengthen hair, but helps encourage growth. Reviewers who use this consistently swear by it for thinning hairlines, sparse hair at their part, bald patches, and even their eyebrows! You can read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic — plus, according to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil comparable to Rogaine in helping with hair growth. Promising reviews: "I hardly write reviews, but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week, just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this, hats off!!" — Dee Get it from Amazon for $9.96. 19. A set of darling reusable Swedish dishcloths that can be washed up to 50 times in the dishwasher, and are designed to replace 17 (!!) rolls of paper towels each. These are strong enough to tackle tough stains and grime, but gentle enough that they won't scratch cookware or hurt your skin. Febu is a small business that specializes in earth-friendly, non-toxic home products. Promising review: "I love these! I have used these for years instead of a sponge or a dishrag. They hold up great, mop up crumbs and spills quickly, can be popped in the dishwasher to clean, and bring a bit of color to the sink area in my otherwise neutral kitchen." — Wynnefred Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.95 (available in 15 very pretty sets). 20. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use. 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 frankly STARTLING TikTok of Lumify in action — they are not joking about how fast it works! 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. 21. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ I bought these at the last second for a flight when I lost my way more expensive sleep mask, and can safely say "good riddance" to that old pair — I love this version way more. It's perfectly contoured so it doesn't rub my eyes or mess up my makeup if I'm traveling, the weight is satisfying without being distracting, and it adjusts super quickly and easily without every getting caught in my hair. Also the pink is just absolutely precious, so my little Glinda x Barbie heart is most pleased to show it off. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sets). 22. A lawn dog spot repair treatment to help your grass look as spiffy and green as it did before Fido decided to mark their territory by peeing in the same parched spots over ... and over ........ and over again. Reviewers notice results within *days* (and your bank account will weep in relief that you didn't hire lawn professionals to do it). Promising review: "We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. This seed works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off, though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had one-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!" — Jessica N. Get it from Amazon for $16.44+ (available in different sizes). 23. A handy dandy condiment fork with a holder you can wrap right around a jar of olives or pickles so it'll always be at your disposal when you suddenly *need* a pickle but don't want to put your hands in the jar. This is also great for late-night snacking shenanigans, since you won't wake up half the house looking for a clean fork. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the condiment fork in action. Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great to get pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol) you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening. It comes with two different rings to fit whatever size jar, a stabber holder, and a stabbing stick." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 24. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for anyone who has had their fill of acne stickers and wants a more effective solution for overnight zit care. Just dab a constellation of this over your blemishes to help dry them out and reduce redness while you snooze. This gets extra points for being sensitive skin-friendly and easy to use! PSA: Do not shake the bottle before use! Promising review:"I rarely ever get pimples, but every once in a while, when I do, they seem to last forever. A coworker of mine suggested I try this. I am SO happy I did. I had one very large pimple and two tiny ones — when I used this, they were all gone by the time I woke up. It does have a semi-potent smell, but it goes away after applying. I have never used a product like this before. I am so pleased to have this. I have very sensitive and dry skin, and this did not irritate my skin at all. I find it fun to put on. Would definitely buy again in the future." — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in glass or plastic bottle, and in packs with drying patches). 25. A two-in-one nausea relief inhaler designed to work FAST on spontaneous nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, and general queasiness (having a human body is hard). You can either use it as a scent inhaler or rub it directly on the tip of your nose for relief. Promising review:"Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy I'd reach for it. I'm sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot - and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" — Willy&Lilly Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.69 (also available in a pack of four). 26. A super effective and strangely whimsical foaming drain cleaner for anyone who wants to make cleaning a whole aesthetic. This gentle but powerful foam pulls up gunk and cleans out drains in sinks, bathtubs, and floor drains, helping prevent plumbing issues and making everything smell ~squeaky clean~. Amazon, Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.98. 27. A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin. Reviewers swear by this handy little spray for helping not just with acne, but rosacea, eczema, dryness, dermatitis (scalp included!), and even toenail fungus. Check out a TikTok of the Briotech spray in action. Promising review: "This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed not only the irritation but the stye went away as well. Any sort of blemish or acne is taken care of with this simple inexpensive spray. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28's expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, which is the exact same ingredient in the Briotech spray for much less money. It's a miracle worker." — Squid466 Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes and in multipacks). 28. A cute lil' insect catcher you can set in a plant or near your fruit bowl or compost to deal with any unwanted fluttering guests. These odorless sticky traps are designed to work indoors and outdoors and will stop fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and more — without the high price tag of the electronic or liquid versions. Reviewers note that these work best if you put them somewhere the flies are already attracted to — these will definitely trap them, but they won't attract them on their own. Promising review: "I had a HUGE fruit fly issue after I found a rotting lemon that had called behind a bread box. I paid $20+ for the liquid fly traps, but nothing worked. I ordered these sticky fly traps, and within two days, the sticky traps caught 50+ fruit flies, and I don't have any more fruit flies. These were the least expensive options I tried and worked the best. I HIGHLY recommend!!!" — Lisa Get a pack of 18 from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 12 styles and packs). 29. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad that reviewers love not only because it's ready for action again right after a wash cycle, but because it picks up a ton more dirt, gunk, and debris than the disposable mops do, *and* it's a heck of a lot cheaper than stocking up on the one-use versions over time. Turbo Mops is a small business that specializes in eco-friendly cleaning products. Promising review: "If you have a Swiffer Wet Jet and are tired of having to buy those mop pads I would 10000x recommend these. All you do is stick it to the bottom of your mop like you would a mop pad and mop like normal. It stays on great and even picks up crumbs better than the store bought mop pads. Once you're done you just throw it in the wash and it's good as new. I'm not sure if you're supposed to dry them, but I do and they come out just fine! I love these!!" — Kate Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.98 (available in multipacks). Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $17! 30. A big ol' collapsible wash bin with a *drain plug* installed at the bottom that is like having a sink inside your skin — perfect for anyone who wants to keep dirty dishes separate from the sink bottom, and absolutely beloved by parents who have a bunch of bottles to sanitize at once. Promising review:"I bought this to wash baby bottles and pump supplies. Good build and does not feel cheap. I like that it is collapsible for storage and it has a drain on the bottom which makes it super convenient to drain after a soak. I can fit a lot in the tub for soaking." — Lacey D. Get it from Amazon for $16.50. 31. A laundry soap station that will help organize your space *and* serve as a handy drip tray for your detergent, so you don't have to lug that jumbo container like a lumberjack every time you need to squeeze a few suds out for a load. This also helps ensure you get every last drop out of the container! Skywin is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "I've been using this product now for several months. I'm honestly surprised by how something so simple can be so helpful and save me money. Just by tilting my laundry detergent jug on this, I'm able to get every last drop of detergent out of it, which prevents wasting detergent and saves me money. I've never had issues with clogging, and it holds a standard-size bottle or an oversized jug. It also helps to keep my laundry closet looking clean and organized. Good buy!" — Jenn Madonna Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sets of two and three and in nine colors). 32. A tried-and-true Stasher bag, aka a staple in any snack-happy human's arsenal — these leakproof, durable, environmentally-friendly alternatives to disposable zippered bags are not only perfect for any kind of snack, but play nice with the dishwasher, fridge, freezer, AND the microwave. Major convenience flex. Amazon Stasher is a small business that specializes in storage and meal prep products. Psst — people use these for travel products too, especially for toiletries they're worried about leaking in their bags! Promising review: "I love my new color. I must have 30 Stasher bags by now and love them. They are so convenient and work really well. One can see exactly what they have in the fridge or freezer at a glance. They keep frost away as well. Highly recommend!" — Sabrina "I tried cheaper reusable bags, but they can be difficult to seal and get brittle after about 15 times in the dishwasher. Stashers stay flexible and are always easy to seal. And talk about volume! I transported an entire pot of soup in one bag." — Mary Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 16 colors; check out Stasher's Amazon storefront for more sizes and styles). 33. A self-cleaning broom and dust pan set designed with pet owners in mind — the bristle cleaner installed in the dust pan makes it *super* easy to dislodge pet hair into the dust pan so you're not sweeping the floor with it all jammed up in there. Here's what BuzzFeeder Sally Elshorafa has to say about it: "When I say this is the most used cleaning tool in my house I mean it. We have two small children, and one's a toddler who's still learning how to feed himself. Meals get MESSY. Several times a day we need to clean around our dining table, and this is our go-to tool for sweeping up all the crumbs and other grossness that ends up on the floor. The teeth on the dustpan mean the broom bristles stay super clean, which means even the smallest piece of dirt (a good example is hair) still gets picked up and pushed into the dustpan. I LOVE this set!" Promising review:"Excellent, sturdy broom which sweeps nicely. The unit stays standing up without a lot of effort; it just has to be balanced prope rly. I like the little thingies on the dustpan that clean off the broom. Also, when sweeping into it, you don't have to hold the dustpan, plus it is easy to empty because dustpan doesn't flop around. I feel somewhat silly saying it, but it is a pleasure to sweep. I'm going to buy a few as gifts to some friends because I like it so much." — DonnaMarie13 Get it from Amazon for $18.83+ (available in six colors). 34. An over-the-door stuffed animal organizer so the next time you're all, "CLEAN YOUR ROOM I AM BEGGING YOU," the kiddos can have a blast racing to get all their beloved plushies off the floor and in their little pocket homes. Promising review:"Awesome quality, and HUGE! I've wasted money on cheaper versions of this and now I know I won't go back. Really sturdy, and holds more than you expect. Using in my sewing room for fabric, interfacing, and batting, and it works like a charm. Going to order another one for my other closets because this was inspired me to use it everywhere. Also the free stickers were a cute bonus!" — Alexis Crumer Get it from Amazon for $30.95 (available in 10 colors). 35. A quick-drying top nail coat, because sometimes you just have to get the show on the road, nail polish situation be damned — this helps dry your wet nails within two minutes so you can get back to business (read: sticking your hand in a chip bag without fear). Promising review:"NEVER GETTING MY NAILS PROFESSIONALLY DONE AGAIN. I love having long nails. I do not like spending fifty bucks just to get them painted. I tried the gel polish, with gel top coat; I tried the gel system with the lamps; I tried every polish out there. My hands get washed hundreds of times daily. This stuff is unbelievable. It really works the way they say it does. I applied it about one or two minutes after finishing a second coat of color and within minutes it had bonded and set and my nails stay shiny and polished for over a week. That is not the full two weeks claimed, but I am unusually hard on my nails so over a week is AWESOME. I immediately ordered several more." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.90+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer.

Promising reviews: "I hardly write reviews, but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week, just a few drops and massaging in.

I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $13.95.

Differin Acne Treatment Gel for prescription-strength acne care *without* the hassle of paying to see a dermatologist. This not only helps clear breakouts by helping with skin cell turnover to clear out pores and calm inflammation, but helps prevent them over time. The key to this is patience, patience, patience — a lot of reviewers mention seeing excellent results after the first month of use! Head's up that you should definitely use sunscreen while applying this product and build up your use gradually, because retinoids are very strong! A lot of users also see a "purge," when their acne is temporarily worse as the product starts to take effect, so be on the lookout for that, too. Promising reviews:"[This] has completely transformed my skin. I used to get hormonal acne every single month. I still get it now, but far less often and severely. Differin has really made a big difference in my quality of life. I have sensitive skin, so I only use it a couple of times a week and always over a light layer of lotion. When I first started using it, my acne did get worse for about a month, and then magically, one day, my skin looked amazing. It's worth a try for sure!" — Britt Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in two packaging styles). 9.

I bought everything I could think of to help with the intense foot pain from standing up at work, this was one of the products, and now I can't go without it! It works. I just ordered another one because I'm low on mine. I use it every night and hour before clocking in at work and even forget how my feet used to hur t until I get home, and I'm like, 'Wait a second, my feet didn't hurt.' I'm not kidding when I say this is It! Amazing product!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 10.

You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "This sunscreen is well worth it. I used it all summer and never got burnt. It lasted tanning, swimming, and walking around outside every day. I would reapply it every hour or so to ensure coverage. I t is really lightweight and doesn't feel like a thick sunscreen. It had a nice, subtle smell that wasn't overpowering. I am happy I got so many bottles to last the summer, and the slim packaging was nice to take in a bag. I will be getting it again!" — Savannah Get it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in multipacks, SPF 100, and SPF 30 versions). 11. Mighty Patch Nose Patches for overnight use to help kick "nose gunk" to the curb — this extra-large hydrocolloid patch helps lift sebum to reduce the appearance of pimples, pores, and oil. You can even see all the satisfyingly gross evidence for yourself when you pull it off in the a.m. 👀. Promising review: "These things work! I've been dealing with bad breakouts recently and could not figure out what was causing them. I was recommended to try these, and let me tell you, the stuff that came out of my pores is unreal.

This blend of niacinamide, vitamin B12, and lipids helps to soothe and hydrate irritated skin to reduce the redness and restore your skin's happy glow. Amazon Promising review:"The first night I used this, my skin felt instantly hydrated. By morning, a stubborn blemish had already started to heal. The lightweight texture absorbs beautifully without sticking, leaving my skin soft and balanced. This is going to be a lifesaver for hydration and healing. Highly recommend!" — Jacqueline Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in two sizes). 14. Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in shave oil form, just in time for potential spring shaving shenanigans. Reviewers are notably impressed by how close of a shave they can get with this, particularly in sensitive areas, helping spare you from razor burn and ingrown hairs. Promising review: "I am absolutely loving this serum! I t creates the smoothest shave I've ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. The serum glides on easily, providing a close shave without any irritation or nicks. My razor moves effortlessly, and I'm impressed by how nourished my skin feels afterward. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It's a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!" — Shay Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three scents). 15. A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin. Reviewers swear by this handy little spray for helping not just with acne, but rosacea, eczema, dryness, dermatitis (scalp included!), and even toenail fungus. Promising review: "This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed not only the irritation but the stye went away as well. Any sort of blemish or acne is taken care of with this simple inexpensive spray. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28's expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, which is the exact same ingredient in the Briotech spray for much less money. It's a miracle worker." — Squid466 Get it from Amazon for $16.49+ (available in four sizes and in multipacks). 16. A set of reviewer-beloved "Loops Quiet 2," aka the "ear plugs for people who hate ear plugs." These lightweight plugs are so subtle that people won't notice you wearing them, and are meticulously designed to muffle distracting, irritating, or overwhelming noise without completely blocking out the world around you. Reviewers love to wear them at the office or in noisy homes — this way they can still stay aware of your surroundings without getting overwhelmed by them. Amazon Promising review:"These earplugs are so good!! I had originally bought a completely different brand (because I was being cheap) and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. I found these Loop earplugs and decided to give them a try and I'm so glad that I did! They are so comfortable! Made from silicone so they are flexible and fit great. I've slept with them in all night without issues. The noise cancelling is fantastic! Now does it block everything? No, but I think that's a good thing for safety reasons. They do block my husband's chainsaw snoring and that is exactly what I needed them to do." — melanie98837 Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in seven colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!). 17. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo to relieve flaking and itching and help prevent outbreaks by getting directly to the root. A lot of reviewers mention that it not only started working from the first use, but it *also* helped with shedding and hair loss caused by dandruff in the first place. This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them. Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." — Martin C. 18. A pack of drug-free Breathe Right nasal strips reviewers quite literally claim " saved their marriage" — these provide instant snoring *and* congestion relief by increasing nasal airflow. Bonus: there's an optional "scratch and sniff" lavender scent if you want an extra dose of calm. Promising review:"This product is a true gem. I'm eight months pregnant, and due to the baby pressing on my diaphragm, I've begun to snore terribly. My poor husband is a light sleeper, so I needed to figure something out. I started applying this at night, and he says he doesn't hear a peep out of me! If you have trouble sleeping or snoring, this is something you need." — Raevyn Get a box of 26 strips from Amazon for $9.65. 19. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Checks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F. Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles). 20. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. Promising review:"This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" — Mona L Cureton Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95. 21. PanOxyl Antimicrobial Hydrating Acne Creamy Wash, the gentler version of the OG foaming wash. This sensitive skin-friendly formula effectively clears up bacteria that causes acne on your face *and* body, helping clear and unclog pores so your skin can ~thrive~. Reviewers swear by this both for clearing up existing acne, and preventing more blemishes! Psst — this "gentler" formula contains 4% Benzoyl peroxide, so reviewers with sensitive skin swear by this one versus the foaming 10% version, which admittedly does pack a bit more of a powerful punch. Promising review:"This working like no other. Sometimes when products have no lather I can't tell if it's working tbh. This has no lather but works! Improves breakouts and textured skin. I saw results in four days." — Ellice D. Ellis Get it from Amazon for $8.74 (available in different sizes). 22. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so the next time you get a little ouch, you can be like, "wound care, but make it fashion." Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric band-aids because they're way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" — Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77. 23. A facial steamer that's basically as close as you can get to bringing a mini hot spring right into your home. This uses a specialized nano-ionic steam to loosen congestion and gently penetrate the skin, giving you nasal relief *and* the kind of glowy refresh you'd get at a spa for a FRACTION of the price. This also comes with a stainless steel tool kit for skin extractions, but be sure to use those only if you've been properly educated on them to avoid damaging your skin! Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion and it opened up my pores too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me and I highly recommend it." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in teal or silver). 24. A pack of the internet-beloved Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment, a hydrocolloid sticker that you can apply straight onto open zits to help drain them and reduce that sore feeling overnight. Personally *love* to see a problem magically disappear while I'm snoozing. Promising review:"I heard all about these on TikTok so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face. My skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" — Kiara Galloway Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 25.

I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I've tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" — Katie_0_Baker Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles). 26. Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Mist Oil for an *instant* and long-lasting dry skin fix — this blend of vitamin E and jojoba oil is designed to moisturize, soothe, and restore skin, and do it REAL quick and easy for those of us who don't have time for a whole song and dance of a body moisturizing routine. Promising review: "I'm terrible about putting on lotion even though my skin is dry. I just hate it. But I love this stuff. It makes my skin feel great. Has a light pleasant scen t. Spray it on and rub it in. So easy! I just apply when going to bed or at least when I don't have to put anything other than lounge clothes on right away. My skin looks and feels so much better it makes me want to keep using it." — Slade Get it from Amazon for $9.58. 27. Ocusoft's Original Foaming Eyelid Cleanser that reviewers with dry, itchy, and allergy-prone eyes swear by. This mild, non-irritating wash removes oil, pollen, and eye makeup to not only cleanse your eyes, but soothe and refresh eyelid discomfort. Promising review: "Genius! I moved to a new part of California and my eyes kept watering. I tried allergy meds, but they didn't help much. Finally someone mentioned Ocusoft and I figured it couldn't hurt. What a difference! Ocusoft twice a day and keeping my eyeglasses spotless has totally solved the problem. All those tiny pollen spores that were stuck in places that irritated my eyes are gone. Really worth a try if you find your eyes are irritated seasonally." — Lindley Karstens Get it from Amazon for $9.33. Psst — if your allergies are bad bad bad and you want to go turbo on eye relief, Ocusoft also has allergy-relief eye scrub pads!). 28.

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. Promising review:"Allergy season keeps getting worse every dang year. This one was off the charts bad! Like 'doctor write me a prescription before I claw my eyes out' bad. No prescription eye drop worked for me. Eventually my doctor gave me a week of steroids just to mute the swelling of my eye tissue, which frequently had me awaken to my eyes swelled shut. Unbelievable! This product, though? Wow. It's the antihistamine ingredient that really works. Regular allergy eye drops don't cut it. Prescription eye drops don't either. This one does. Seriously." — Victoria Get a pack of two from Amazon for $21.48. 29. An earwax removal kit, so you don't have to wait until your yearly physical for your doctor to be like, "Um, WHOA" and fix it for you.

Promising review:"My right ear has been plugged up for months. I squirted warm water in there, peroxide, tried various ear scraper tools, then just gave up. A month or so later, I saw this product at a local CVS, and gave it a try. Laid on couch with several drops in my ear for a half hour. I could hear weird fizzing noises. Then I flushed warm water in my ear with the included soft bulb syringe, and out came the culprit. Had to have been deep in there." — fixitforgood Get it from Amazon for $8.97. 30. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant to help exfoliate and smooth skin by dealing with rough patches or dry bumps — a lot of reviewers with keratosis pilaris and similar skin textures swear by this for relief, with many noticing a difference after the very first use. First Aid Beauty is a US-based small business that specializes in clean, fragrance-free, cruelty-free personal care products. Promising review: "I saw a dermatologist recommend this on TikTok, and I figured I'd give it a try. I have had red bumps on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember and have tried multiple things, so I didn't have very high expectations. After one use, I could already see a difference! It says to use it 1–2 times a week, but I use it usually every other day, and I use Cerave rough and bumpy lotion after, and now my red bumps are almost nonexistent. This product has truly been life-changing, and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with red bumps! 10/10!" — Sydney Get it from Amazon for $10.20+ (available in two sizes). 31.

Promising review: "If you're someone who has sensitive skin like me, this product is for you! I highly recommend it. I learned about this product on TikTok and decided to try it out. It's worth the money. The smell is not overbearing, and it reminds you of a refreshing citrusy fruit. I'm very particular about trying skincare products, but this is your go-to. It will have your face feeling refreshed and clean, and there's no white cast." — Elisabeth L. "Really good product considering the price. I have tried expensive creams to diminish a dark spot in my face, and I haven't gotten the quick results I am getting with this soap. I highly recommend this product." — Amazon Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in larger multipacks and with or without a holder). 32. An "Exfoliate & Glow" premium scrub mitt for sloughing off all the dead skin from winter (one reviewer saw all the dead skin left in their shower floor and dubbed themselves a " Lizard Person" after shedding it). This is great for helping even out skin texture and tone, preventing ingrown hairs, calming keratosis pilaris, and removing self-tanner, too! Seraphic Skincare is a small business that specializes in brushes, razors, and other personal care products. Head's up that you should start very gently, and that you really only need to use it two to four times a month to get good results without over-exfoliating and compromising your skin barrier. Promising review:"Not to be gross but when I lightly use this on my dry skin I can see the dry skin cells flying off! Great for cellular turnover. I use on dry skin before showering and finish after shower with good moisturizing oil. Makes my legs feel soft and smooth. Don't run too hard! Gentle strokes." — Juliet "Color me converted. It's so disgusting that you want to look away, but morbid curiosity keeps making you turn back. That's really a 'you' creature in the bottom of the tub. You really sloughed off a second skin like a Lizard Person and have now emerged a new person. One that will no longer trust brand name products because they are a lie. Seriously. Buy this. You don't even know you need it, but you do. You really, really do." — Mandi Konesni Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a set of two). 33.

Psst — you should definitely "patch test" this on a small area of skin before putting it on to ensure you don't have any reaction! Promising review:"Was pretty skeptical. Bought it and it's changed my life. First use and I did not sweat, at all, for probably a week. I had already been using Lume deodorant for a few years now and was looking for something else as I felt I'm building a resistance to it. I should've been using this to begin with. Second application I applied to other areas of my body, zero sweat. Amazed." — Hanna L. Hetz Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts two months). 34. Aloderma Organic Aloe Vera Gel for your WHOLE body — this packs such an "all-purpose" moisturizing, skin-calming punch that reviewers swear by it for everything from healing cracked, dry skin to helping calm rosacea and sunburns to tackling dandruff that even prescription meds wouldn't touch. GO LITTLE MOISTURIZER GO!! Promising review:"My skin feels like the bottom of a newborn. This is so great. The natural ingredients are the best and it leaves my skin with a natural glow and softness that I have never felt before. I have aging skin and it is just a great product.

Amazon BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products. Promising review:"I was so excited to get a new pair of my favorite brand of summer sandals but the first time I wore them they ripped up my heels. Since they were not returnable and I wasn't about to trash them, I was desperate and gave this balm a try. It worked beautifully! I applied the balm liberally to each of my heels when I put my shoes on and the back of my foot/heels were protected all day long! I can't say enough positive things about this product." — Guerra-Diaz Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 36. Compound W Wart Removal Pads infused with concentrated wart removal medication to reduce the size and eliminate warts in a matter of days. A lot of reviewers turned to these after professional wart removals didn't work for them and saw much better results! You should change the pads every 48 hours, and note that they do not work on moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, genital warts, or facial warts. The brand notes that you should not use this product if you have diabetes or poor blood circulation. Promising review:"These work amazingly well! I had taken my daughter to the dermatologist and paid a hefty amount for them to burn a wart off of her arm. It didn't get rid of it; they only made it smaller, and they recommended a follow-up appointment. Then I found these! She wore one overnight, and literally the next day, it was smaller to almost nothing. Looked just like a small scar. Now it's completely gone after wearing it only two times. One time overnight and the next day. That's all! I will never try any other treatment for warts except for this!" — Cole Hagele Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29. 37. A pack of super thin hydrocolloid cold sore healing patches to help speed up healing and relieve some of the itch and "ouch!" of a breakout as fast as possible. Promising review:"I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I've had and wouldn't clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." — Jessica Hill Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $13.25. 38. A guided visual "breathing partner" you can use for meditation and calm to get yourself in a better mindset for relaxation or sleep. This is designed to guide you through either the popular 4/7/8 or 5/5 "calming breaths" to help reduce stress and anxiety, using colors that fade in and out softly as cues. Bonus: It's kid-friendly! Mindset is a small business that specializes in calming personal care and decor products. Promising review:"I started meditating over a decade ago. Intermittent in the beginning, progressing deeper and finding new joys over time. With Breathing Buddha, the last thoughts have dropped away as counting breath always seemed to keep me conscious of, well, counting. Granted, I have always dropped the counting after a handful of breaths, but Breathing Buddha has made for a delightful transition as I realize it don't have to count at all. It is a lovely concept, well executed, and very easy to start using." — Lynn Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in three styles). 39. "Gloves In A Bottle," aka the hero of anyone with dry, cracked hands — this game-changing lotion not only helps heal your skin, but actively protects it for four to twelve hours, even through repeated hand washes. Reviewers with eczema or those who have to sanitize frequently for work swear by this! Gloves in a Bottle is a small business that specializes in skincare products for working professionals. Promising review:"I am a teacher and literally wash or sanitize my hands several times per hour! If I'm not washing my hands, I'm cleaning all the surfaces in my classroom with harsh cleaners. I thought I would try this lotion and I am thankful I took a chance! It is not only moisturizing, but it's not too scented or greasy. We are not allowed to wear perfume at school due to allergies, and this works perfectly. The best part is that after you do wash your hands, you can still feel the lotion! My cuticles are staying moisturized, too. I am going to get more for home and the car." — Chianti Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 40. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that a lot of reviewers bought to prevent bad breath, but ended up loving even *more* because it made their mouth feel so squeaky clean (and, in a lot of cases, made their taste buds experience flavor a lot more intensely!). Basic Concepts is a small business that specializes in personal care products, home goods, and office essentials. Promising review:"My husband and I have been using this product for a couple months now and we both think it is worth the purchase. It is not a magic fixer for bad breath or lack of oral hygiene but paired with a good dental hygiene routine we have noticed a positive difference such as fresher breath for longer and fresher breath upon waking in the morning. It is easy to clean, and the shape prevents gagging. All in all the product is definitely worth it." — Brimichelle Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 41. A set of compression gloves reviewers swear by for helping aches and pains from arthritis, carpal tunnel, neuropathy, and general overuse (it's giving ✨works all day on a laptop✨). Promising review: "I have both osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis in both hands, but this winter, I smashed my right hand and badly damaged cartilage in the knuckle joints. I wish I had found these gloves sooner because they feel so supportive and allow me to move my fingers without pain, so much so that I really don't want to take them off. The little booklet that accompanied the gloves is good, and I will start doing the exercises they recommend." — Kindle Customer Get a set from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in five sizes and five colors). 42. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that swipes over your face like a magic wand to make excess oil disappear — super convenient and *way* less wasteful than using blotting strips and time wasting than fancy powders that need a ton of blending work. 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 $8.04. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

49 Things You'll Try And Then Won't Be Able To Stop Raving About To Anyone Who'll Listen

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 · My friends are sick of hearing me rant about this holy-grail rotating curling iron. But I won't be stopped. 1. A beginner-friendly Beachwaver B1 will take a lot of the actual work out of curling your hair. I can curl my hair with a regular curling iron with my eyes closed but I SWEAR by this thing. I've used about every kind of hair styling tool on the planet and had given up on curling irons with clamps. I was fully a curling wand girlie because I'm adept at heat styling and it gave me covetable mermaid waves I wanted. Then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time. Promising review: "The rotating feature makes it incredibly easy to use — no more awkward wrist twists or worrying about uneven curls. The 1-inch size is perfect for creating loose, natural-looking curls. It's super easy to use and gives amazing results every time! Highly recommend!" — Shawn H. Get it from Amazon for $99 (available in more sizes). 2. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel for professional pedicure results at home if scrubbing, soaking, and filing have failed you. Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in an extra-strength formula). 3. And while we're talking about feet, some self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint for those nights when you REAAAALLY want a foot massage but no one but your precious cat is around to help. Your kitty is busy making biscuits overtime. He knows the rent is due! Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. Promising review:"Wow! These are awesome! They feel warm and tingly while they are on. My feet were so soft afterward. I'd buy again!" — Patrick Leary Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. 4. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes because nine times out of ten, it'll be easier to reach for a super-effective wipe than figure out which bottle of cleaning solution is best suited for today's mess. These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, WHEREVER. And! They'll clean up grease, oil, tar, dirt, ink, lipstick, nail polish, food, and a whole lot more. Promising review: "Only within a couple seconds of using these wipes, I get a clean result. I am a busy mom of three, and need something quick that ACTUALLY works. This product is amazing. I would highly recommend. Renting an apartment, it's hard to clean the walls without removing the paint. This gets the job done 100%." — Sirena Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98 (available in nine sizes/packs). 5. A shoe cleaner literally called Pink Miracle (for GOOD reason) because it can make it appear like you waved your wand and said a cleaning spell on that pair you'd more or less resigned to toss. It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! Yes, use it on the laces, too. You get a bottle of soap and a cleaning brush. Promising review: " Literal magic in a bottle!!! A must-have for pristine sneakers! It took just a couple of minutes per shoe to get them white again. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and stains, restoring my sneakers to their original glory. It's especially impressive on white shoes, leaving them looking fresh and new. The cleaner is also gentle, ensuring it doesn't damage the delicate materials like suede and nubuck. The brush is sturdy yet gentle enough to use on different fabrics without causing any damage. The combination of the cleaner and the brush makes the cleaning process quick and efficient." — brad1856 Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes). 6. Lumify Eye Drops beloved by the masses who've tried other redness-reducing eye drops before. Yes, these are a bit pricier than other versions. But reviewers say it's totally worth it! Oh, and don't forget that it's also made to help relieve dry eyes. 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 "To drops in your eyes and all day, they look perfectly white and healthy. I would definitely buy these again." — Kelley Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 7. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes that'll come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. You can apply it to your pits before bed and it's made to work for up to seven days. BUT! Many reviewers use it for their sweat-prone faces, too. As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months! Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two and three). 8. A neck reading light if you're not into the clip-on book variety. We like options! Promising review:"I don't have the best lighting in this house or the best eyes, and that makes for a hard time cross-stitching. These are absolutely wonderful! I can see my patterns and do my cross-stitching which is so great during this quarantine. Be sure to charge every night after use though. And they are so lightweight I forget I'm wearing them! Highly recommended!" — Nini Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 9. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens you can easily apply and let sit a minute or two to dry. Buh-bye annoying strips and coffee stains. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades. I'm currently working my way through one of these pens! Promising review:"I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." — vicki houska Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99. 10. Biodance's TikTok-beloved Bio-Collagen Real Deep Masks that'll give you an overnight refresh to help minimize the look of pores, firm skin, and boost elasticity. There are lots of folks in the reviews who swear that using it just once made a noticeable difference. Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala Get a four-pack from Amazon for $19.99. 11. A *very popular* off-the-shoulder jumpsuit to give you the comfort of pajamas (which is lowkey what I think everyone wishes they could wear on the plane) but still keep you stylish. Reviewers say it packs well and is easy to take off when it's time for a bathroom pitstop. Promising reviews: "It is a favorite among our flight attendant group when we are traveling. We call ourselves the sisterhood of the traveling jumpsuit! I absolutely love it, it's comfortable, inexpensive, easy one piece, dress up or dress down. I add a belt and it's perfect! I am planning to purchase more colors!" — Floridagirl0611 Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3X and 32 colors/patterns). 12. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo can immediately tackle greasy roots without the aerosol formula. It's EFFECTIVE. Like, I went to New Orleans in late May with a blowout I was trying to make last. This kept my oily roots matte! It's LEGIT. Oh, and there are brunette/dark tones avail. Amazon Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." — Teresa Get two from Amazon for $19.50 (available in five tones). 13. A Briotech spray that'll help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings. Promising reviews: "This is a [swap] for the Tower 28 spray that's 28 bucks for 4 ounces. I use this after cleansing my face before toners or serums. It's healed my acne. Also great for eczema. I have recommended this to so many people. Thanks Briotech for saving me money! Lifelong customer here." — Chey "Just an FYI, this product has the exact same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray! It's been absolutely amazing at reducing acne and texture! It's also so refreshing and gives a lil glow. So in love!" — BK Get an 8-ounce bottle from Amazon for $15.99 (available in five sizes and in packs of two and four). 14. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles for a serious step up from regular brushes. It has regular firm bristles PLUS longer ones that are 10 times thinner to *really* get in between teeth and gums, mimicking flossing. Psst, it's also safe for sensitive teeth. I swear by this brush! Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Mouthwatchers is a small business by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans — which are great for targeting stuff often missed with traditional brush and floss routines. There are ~several~ fans of this lil' toothbrush on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, including me! I've tried multiple kinds of electric toothbrushes and keep going back to this brush because it makes my teeth feel CLEAN clean. Like I just got back from a cleaning. AND there are travel versions! Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90. 15. KISS PowerFlex Maximum Speed Nail Glue to help you realize your faux-nail dreams and then reuse the nails over and over again for a salon look on the cheap. Most reviewers say it lasts for more than a week. Check out a TikTok of the nail glue in action. Promising review: "I've been using this on my press-ons, and when I say they last a month or longer without any popping off! I will never go back to any other brand. Easy to use, quick-drying, GREAT PRICE!! Like, how can you best that value? The size you get for the price is really unmatched. The glue removal is pretty eas y. If I plan on reusing the press-ons, I'll soak them in water and soap and pop them off. If not, I'll cut and shave down the nails and soak in acetone until it dissolves the nails enough for me to use my drill." — Big Ming Get it from Amazon for $1.97. 16. An exfoliating scrub mitt will help you part with excess dead skin and particles while you use it a couple of times a month (it's that good so you don't have to use it often!). Reviewers find it super helpful for removing self-tanner, addressing ingrown hairs, and increasing circulation. Promising review:"I have very thin and light body hair, so any form of removal (shaving, waxing, etc) usually leaves me with a lot of ingrown hairs. I've tried body scrubs and washcloths and neither really do a great job. I saw this product recommended by a dermatologist on TikTok and thought I'd try it — it's amazing! I also have very sensitive skin, and this mitt doesn't leave my skin irritated at all. However, absolutely do not use this mitt on your face, neck, or other sensitive areas, it would be way too harsh. I like to use this mitt first when I get in the shower, then use a body wash (a gentle chemical exfoliant) and follow up with body lotion for dry and sensitive skin. This whole routine is fragrance free and leaves my skin feeling very soft and moisturized." — Kat Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a set of two). 17. And Evridwear's Exfoliating Gloves can give you control of the level of exfoliation a little more precisely than a mitt. Hello to your Everything Shower's new BFF. Evridwear is a small business that specializes in gloves for work, personal care, and weather use. Promising review: "This is one of my favorite purchases. Not gonna lie, TikTok make me buy this. So I buy it and I'm still a little nervous because it's literally a glove. But nah, I used it with liquid body soap and I've never felt so clean in my whole life. I got out of the shower feeling like a freshly birthed baby. My skin had never felt so clean and I questioned how I went 32 years without this." — Brittney Get a pair from Amazon for $6.40+ (available in three textures, various colors, and as sets of two or three). 18. And Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover to rid the area around your nails of dead skin but also soothe skin with aloe and chamomile. Promising review:"I had never tried this before and I am so glad I did. It works great! Within seconds of applying it to my nails, the cuticle becomes soft and I can remove it right away. I used to never remove my cuticles when doing my nails, I guess because I didn't really know how to, but since I started using this product my nails look so good. I'm happy with the product and the results." — ABernal Get it from Amazon for $6.95. 19. Plus, Londontown Illuminating Nail Concealer will give you a no-mani mani that you can quickly brush on before an event. Or just on the reg for next-to-no effort. Check it out on TikTok. Promising review: "I'm a girl who works outside and I don't mean I have a cute little herb garden. I live in the woods and am constantly hauling limbs that have fallen and processing them into firewood. I'm using power tools. I'm legit IN the dirt, filthy by the end of the day, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but somehow, this polish lasted an entire WEEK of that abuse. I did use a base coat first, just FYI. But this stuff is AMAZING. It's the perfect mani for gals who need a mani but don't really want one, ya know? I can slap this on, work all day, scrub my manicured hands with a nail brush, and head out for cocktails, looking like I still live in LA. Great work, Londontown. 100 stars!!!" — Jessica Mayer Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in five colors). 20. A "Magic Gel" back pain relief pack that'll deliver a shot of soothing, freezing cold without compromising another pack of frozen peas. (The family will never let you live down that ONE TIME that you accidentally burst said pack open and frozen peas went into every corner of the living room.) Amazon, Promising review: "This was perfect for my sore back. It comes with two inserts. That is nice because I was able to keep one in the fridge and the other to warm up in the microwave. The belt they go in works great for lower back pain. I could wear it at work when my back was bad." — Brandie Collins Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 21. A reusable pet fur remover might just have you tossing your old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one (it has a sturdy brush system) picks up off your beloved couch. You don't wanna walk out the door with fur all over your behind, only to learn from your work nemesis. Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors). 22. And a *mini* ChomChom you can use for your clothes on the go because how many times have you left the house and then realized that there's fur allllll over your black pants because no one was at home to tell you?! Promising review: "I love this lint roller/dog hair remover. I always have fluffy dog hair on my clothes and have tried different devices to remove it. A lot of them have worked pretty well, but I think this one is more effective. The two rollers pick up the hair and it collects between them and behind them in the compartment. There's nothing sticky about it. It rolls over your clothes smoothly and picks up the hair. It's easy to use. I thought it was a little expensive, but I had to give it a try to see if it works as well as they said it did. It does. I recommend it." — Diana S. Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 23. A longline sports bra you can (and tbh, SHOULD) just wear as a crop top this summer. It'll too hot out for shirts that cover your belly button. Psst, reviewers say it reminds them of Lululemon. Promising review:"LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors). 24. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows I own and adore to the point where I replaced the pillows I keep at my parents' with them, too! Yes, they're utter perfection. Promising review: "I have no idea why, really, but they are perfect. Just the right amount of softness. I highly recommend them. I have purchased pillows all over — Costco, Walmart, Marshalls, etc. But every time I was out of town on business and staying in a hotel, I would notice that I really liked those pillows better than my own. I finally decided one day to go ahead and spend $50 on two pillows. I'm so glad I took the chance. They just work for me and I'm really glad (at least this time) my whim paid off. It actually makes me happy that I got the perfect pillows after so many other purchases across the years." — Sally Get them from Amazon for $79.99 + (available in two sizes) 25. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper that'll make onion tears and food prep mess a thing of the past! This way you won't waste so much energy on *evenly* spiralizing or chopping, a fool's errand! (Jk, but this'll make it way easier.) Amazon Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review:"I'm in love!! I chopped a whole bag of onions in 5–10 minutes, put them in a vacuum-sealed bag, and put them in the freezer for future use. Never cry from chopping onions again!" — Just Me Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors). 26. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator for erasing all the visual (and smelly) evidence of pet accidents on flooring and furniture. You don't need a new chair. You just need this. Promising review:"I have a finished carpeted basement that my dog peed on… mix in that horrible smell and basement smell. I've tried so many products, and nothing worked. Then I tried this and it is the only thing to actually neutralize the smell. For the comments saying that the spray bottle sucks, I think they are using it wrong? Mine worked perfectly fine. Just turn it to a mist setting, and it was perfect for the carpet." — Damian velez Get it from Amazon for $17.96. 27. A pumice cleaning stone to remove all sorts of stubborn rings that've been staring at you every time you're in the washroom. Nope, you do NOT need a new toilet. Your OG just requires some zhuzhing. Promising review:"I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" — Stephanie Ray Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a pack of two and four). 28. Seoul Ceuticals Snail Repair Cream will help brighten dull skin, fade discoloration, add plumpness thanks to its snail mucin extract (which is packed with hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid). Promising review: " This cream is the freaking holy grail in a jar. Oh my GAWD. It really reduces inflammation on my skin and it looks so much better the morning after. It's a pretty thick cream, so don't use too much and massage onto your fresh, just washed face. I use it only at night (but you can use during day and night. Whatever works for you) and OMG. Just OMG. Try it." — Leslie Get it from Amazon for $20. 29. A car-dedicated wet/dry vacuum (that plugs into the cigarette lighter!) because who has the time to go by the car wash and feed quarters into the vacuum?! Has a 106w motor, strong metal turbine, 16-foot cord, elastic hose, nozzle, and a clear trash compartment so you can see when it's time to empty it. Promising review:"This thing is awesome! I own a 2018 Dodge Durango that sadly does not have leather seats. I own three dogs and it is just a nightmare pulling out my extension cord to vacuum my truck. I can now just plug this little guy into my 12v car outlet and I'm good to go! The power in this vacuum is as good as it's going to get for a car vacuum so if you want extreme suction — buy a shop vac. Also the attachments are fantastic. P.S. I own three dogs — it picks up hair. The spots with sand in the picture are not vacuumed over yet to compare." — Sally Get it from Amazon for $24.72 (available in two colors). 30. A SnapPower GuideLight can optimize your regular old outlets instead of a night-light that you have to plug into an outlet that you always have to unplug the coffee grinder or do other tasks. Amazon SnapPower is a small biz that specializes in unique and innovative lighting products. Promising review: "I ordered this after seeing it on TikTok. I'm very happy with this product!" — Miss. Harris "Game changer. When I get up, I don't want to wake everyone up with flipping on lights and all. These provide plenty of walking through the house light. Super easy installation, too." — Monica Martinez Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in three outlet styles and four colors). 31. An organizing couch pillow that'll corral your Stanley cup, remote, and three other items you can nestle into its holes so you can get extra comfy on the couch without having to move your living room furniture or buy a new couch to accommodate your beverages. Amazon Cup Cozy Pillow is a small biz as seen on TV specializing in cleverly designed cup holders. "This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with crazy dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in more colors and in a three-hole version). If you prefer a wood look, check out a similar bamboo couch cup holder. 32. Heavy-duty cord wraps to help fashion some storage for extension cords and hoses out of thin air. All you need is one of these, some empty wall space, and a nail or hook! Also, disorganized cords are a trip hazard. Let's avoid that. Amazon Promising review: "I was sick of my cords and compressor hose hanging off of and on top of my table saw. I saw these on Amazon and have (or had) some available wall space in my workshop. What a great solution!" — LrngToFly Get a six-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in other sizes and quantities). 33. Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Primer can keep that complicated smoky eye look you copied from an MUA's TikTok intact long into the night. Because the last thing you want is to look back at professional photographer's pics from your cousin's wedding and see your eye makeup a mess. (Though we can't say the same for your dancefloor moves.) Promising review:"So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high-end to low — MAC, Lorac, Urban don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. I use this primer and my shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands, if I'm lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you Elizabeth Mott for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" — Melissa Mae Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 34. An elegant set of square wineglasses that reviewers point out are VERY similar to the pricier ones sold at Crate and Barrel. Whether you're just drinking some water out of them or some actual Prosecco, they'll certainly elevate the moment. Promising review: "CUTE, durable, and the perfect size. These are so pretty, and I have gotten lots of compliments! I have only ever washed in the dishwasher, and they do great." — Anna Johnson Get four from Amazon for $39.98 (also available in a set of two and in three styles). 35. High-waist leggings because structured pants are *not* welcome to join in on your travel day (or really any day!). Amazon, Promising reviews:"Very comfortable. I live in them! I really like wearing these leggings. I will have to buy some more." — barb chipman "Wow! I was extremely skeptical of these leggings considering they're a 'one size fits all' type of deal. I am 5'5 and curvier. I was worried they were going to be too tight or see-through. However, that's not the case! They are not see-through even after three washes so far. They are extremely soft and comfortable. The only thing I noticed is they are more of a muted black compared to some of my other leggings but it's barely noticeable. I liked them so much I ordered a second pair. Def would recommend!" — nichole campton Get them from Amazon for $9.44+ (available in one size and plus size, three lengths, and in 25 colors). 36. A low-key faux-diamond tennis bracelet that'll look awfully expensive without running you a tab from name brands like Swarowski. (Reviewers are convinced that the gems look real!) Amazon, Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters My colleague Emma Lord loves this brand's jewelry: "For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my "daily wear" jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!" Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in four colors, two styles, and three sizes). 37. A pack of disposable face towels that are 100% biobased that reviewers with allllllll sorts of skin sensitivities dig in the reviews. They're fragrance- and chemical-free, and are super gentle on your skin. These are 100% USDA-certified biobased, 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: "These towels are great. If you are looking for absorbency, durability, and skin sensitivity in a facial towel, look no further. I have rosacea; therefore, I have to be very careful about what I use on my face. These towels are the best. no breakouts from usage. I highly recommend these towels!" — Terri Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $17.05 (also available in other packs). 38. A pomade hair wax stick is a super easy-to-apply product that will keep all your flyaways and frizzies controlled whenever you put your hair up into a ponytail or bun. Promising review:"Love it!

This'll be great in case you get motion sick in a budget-friendlier plane, car, bus, or ferry ride. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Promising review:"I get motion sick so ridiculously easy! I went on a cruise with my family and I was so nervous about getting seasick. I put these on from the time the cruise started until it ended, and I did not get sick at all. Not even for one second. We hit some rough seas, and the ship was pretty rocky and I was nervous as other people in my party were starting to feel the effects of the motion. I didn't get sick at all. I absolutely recommend these. I also took them on a snorkeling tour in Hawaii and did not get sick at all. Absolutely a must for those who get motion sick. I don't know how they work but all I can say is amazing." — Francisco Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53 (available in adult and children's sizes, and six colors). 41.

Yes, I'm talking about myself. Promising review:"Perfect plunger for sink. This plunger fit the bathroom sink with ease. Doesn't take much effort to plunge the sink. You have to plunge a few times but it is so effortless and definitely clears a clog. I would recommend this plunger." — C. Lorenzo Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven styles). 42.

These bad boys can help you gain up to 80% storage space when you squeeze all the air out! This highly rated set comes with a small travel hand pump! Promising review:" When the bag is re-inflated, the wrinkles all go away. Keeps stored stuff free of dust and moisture. They're see-through, which makes identifying contents a no-brainer. I would recommend these for traveling as well. Was able to get double into my carry-on. Yay!" — Tina Get a pack of six small bags from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in other sizes and packs). 44. Some legging organizing hangers where you can tell the differences between all your black leggings, like the number of pockets or waist height. It's hard to tell when they're folded up in a drawer! Each hanger holds 10 pairs of leggings. Check out a TikTok of the legging organizer hanger in action. (Every time I put these in a story, I think about how much I need them.) Promising review:"Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.99. 45.

And PS: Wonder Hanger is a small biz! Promising review:"I wish I had taken the time to take a before and after pic because I have so much more room in there now than I did before. I found the cutest tops in there that I had completely forgotten about because my clothes were crammed in the closet so tightly. Most of the time, I felt like I had nothing to wear, LOL, and now, I know exactly what I have, and it's even organized by sleeve length and color. I would definitely buy again and actually plan to buy more for my husband and children to use as well." — Mariko Lamb Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and packs of 10 or 24). 46. An acrylic belt organizing case for letting you eye your belts and designer buckles in a split second. Promising review: "I like how well they are made and how you can stack them or mount them on a wall. We used ours for belts and ties and they work great. I own a cleaning business and a client of mine had them in his closet when we were dusting. I asked him where he got them from and then I purchased them as well. I love them! I will be buying more." — Brenda Lamberti Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 47. An under-cabinet lid opener to help pop open that jar of pasta sauce in a jiffy. Everyone can use this, but reviewers with limited dexterity especially find it helpful! EZ Off is a small biz specializing in this product. Promising review:"Works exactly as it says it does. I have small hands and trouble gripping things. This makes opening jars extremely easy and it opens in seconds just by twisting the jar counterclockwise. I'm so glad I ordered two so I can give one to a family member who has trouble with opening jars as well. I would definitely buy this again!" — H.T. Get it from Amazon for $10.49. 48. A flat RFID-blocking fanny pack that'll work underneath your clothes or as just a regular waist bag. Amazon Promising review: "This product was just as described. It fits comfortably and securely. I plan to use mine with international travel, so my cards and documents are handy." — DSCin AZ Get it from Amazon for $23.95 (available in three colors). 49. A stroller can fold up and fit in the overhead on a plane so you don't have to gate check your stroller and wait around to start on your grand family adventure. It folds up so small that it was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2014 for the most compact stroller. It can hold kids who weigh up to 55 pounds, and the stroller only weighs 9.5 pounds. Promising review:"Went through airport security holding a 1-year-old in one arm, folded this stroller up with the other. To be fair, I practiced a lot beforehand because I was nervous, but I got it done because of this bad boy. It's great to just keep it in the car in case you need it. Small pocket and shade — not great for everyday use, but perfect for travel." — ajames Get it from Amazon for $199.95+ (available in two styles and two colors).
