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 · Daylight is burning; let's make the most of it. 1. An alarm clock on wheels you'll quickly develop a complicated relationship with — it'll roll around, jump, shake, make robotic sounds, and essentially just annoy you until you *finally* have to get out of bed, tackle it, and start your day. Clocky is a small business! Promising review:"My friends and family all know how terrible I am at waking up in the morning. Every alarm clock I have ever used has been defeated by my quick 'hit snooze button' reflexes. So much so that I find myself rushing for the door more often than I'd like. All that changed when I found Clocky. CLOCKY WORKS! Clocky moves, so I can't get comfortable or used to where the snooze button is placed. I easily carry Clocky to any room in the house I choose to get cozy, relax, and watch some TV 'til I fall asleep on a work night. I LOVE CLOCKY and highly recommend giving it a chance because you will fall in love with the results. I am now actively waking up at the original time I set my alarm to and also staying up so I can have a productive day. Get Clocky and save your day! ☆☆☆☆☆" — Valued Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in nine colors). 2. "Plaud," an AI voice recorder and notes generator that uses the magic of ChatGPT to summarize audio — forget wasting another second handwriting a sticky note that'll only get lost in the bottom of your bag, never to see the light of day. You won't even need to manually open your Notes app to type up to-do lists! Your newfound virtual personal assistant is about to become your time-saving bestie. Promising review: "Love this product! Very user-friendly, and the app is easy to navigate. Can transcribe and summarize meeting notes in a couple of minutes and allows you to choose what layout (meeting notes, transcript, mind map) you would like. Allows you to edit notes if needed and replay the meeting. This handy device can record phone calls. Just place it in the holder and, attach it to your phone, and switch the button to the phone option for those on-the-go phone conferences. Very helpful and convenient!!" — Rachele Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in two colors). 3. A reusable smart notebook to seamlessly combine your love of handwritten notes with the ease of taking them digitally. (Here's to you, Rocketbook app!) As you write in this seemingly magical notebook, your notes will *also* be recorded in the app. Is it 2025 or 3025? This set includes the notebook, a Pilot Frixion pen, and a microfiber cloth to wipe it all away. Once wiped away, they'll be transported through cloud services with the Rocketbook app, which is available for both iOS and Android. Promising review:"Love my Rocketbook Fusion! I thought this looked cool, and so I ordered one. Then I joined a group on social media that is for owners of Rocketbooks, and my brain has been blown. There is soooooo much one can do with these notebooks! I am loving having it to take notes while I'm on a Zoom call for work. I am more engaged, and I process more when I'm taking notes in writing. I've always had stacks of notebooks. Small ones for different projects at work. Another for personal thoughts. Another for a nonprofit I'm on the board of. Of course, a planner or two is needed for good measure. Now I have one. One thin notebook. And several fun pens... Now I can meal plan, project track, journal, and take notes all in one place! Rocketbook also puts out some great videos with ideas on how to personalize the pages for your individual needs. Possibilities are endless!" — Nikola Sievert Get it from Amazon for $29..99+ (available in two sizes and in 14 colors). 4. A motivating daily planner that literally says "You've got this!" at the top — it'll also look oh-so-cute on your desk or fridge and has sections to keep track of appointments, how much water you're drinking, a to-do list, what you ate (meal prep, perhaps?!) and a general notes/doodling area. Each pad comes with 50 sheets. Promising review:"I use this first thing when I get in the office in the mornings as a 'personal to-do' before our morning meetings. It reminds me to stay productive when I might not have work to do in the office at that moment, but it also reminds me throughout the day of the intention I set early on. It's been a great visual reminder of my personal goals while I'm achieving professional goals." — Chelsea Ashton Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine styles). 5. A Kitsch heatless curling set — wrap your hair into it before hitting the hay, remove it when you wake up, and then stare at yourself and your luscious locks. It's as easy as that — no heat needed! If only Sleeping Beauty knew about these before that looooong slumber... Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review:"I was thoroughly impressed at how well this worked!!! My daughter has very long, thick hair, and I did not honestly expect this to work as well as it did!!! I am now going to purchase one for myself!!! Highly recommend!!!!" — Steven Schoorens Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 11 styles). 6. Or JVN No Heat Air Dry Cream if you don't have the time to sit with a hair dryer but know you can't go out into the world without freshening up your strands — this can be used on damp or dry hair to help transform your look from frizzy to fabulous. Promising review:"After 20+ years of trying to find a product to help me manage my curly hair, Jonathan Van Ness has done it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. First, it smells absolutely amazing and makes me feel like I am using a high-quality, salon-quality product. I love how well it manages frizz and how soft it makes my hair feel." — Samantha Laquinta Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes). 7. A winged eyeliner stamp because you and I know you simply don't have the time (or patience) to try and conquer crafting the perfect cat-eye. Let this baby do the work for you so you can move on to other steadily lining your lips. 😅 Promising review:"Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived, and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn to my surprise, I put the left cat-eye on first, and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT-EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean, crisp line. I can now do a cat-eye EVERY day and look/feel like a baddie. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." — LadyMeow Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack). 8. Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque that'll feel more like a science experiment than a beauty product — the instant results will baffle you! You simply apply the mask in a fun shade of blue (but fear not, that's not the final color), then peel it off to reveal a perfectly pink pout that stays in place despite whatever eating/drinking plans you've got lined up. Amazon, Wonderskin is a small business specializing in cosmetic and skincare products. Promising reviews: "I kept seeing Wonder Blading Lip videos on my TikTok. Went to Sephora and couldn't believe they didn't have it. Wound up buying it on Amazon and loving it!" — PM "I didn't know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute, and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It's true to its word about the 12-hour staying power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn't come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It's a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." — Brandy Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 11 shades). 9. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — it'll conceal and brighten the dark circles under your eyes SO FAST you might even forget you stayed up super late watching Severance and are now sleepier than ever. This lightweight color-adapting formula now comes in four fabulous shades! The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. I've personally tested this out, and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two, I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba, and despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price...10/10 from me. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 10. A steering wheel desk for anyone who often finds themselves trying to quickly catch up on some work while being nap-trapped in the car after desperately driving around in circles in hopes their cranky toddler will *finally* get some rest. Don't you DARE wake that baby!!! Promising review:"Works perfect for a working mom!!! Picked this up knowing summer is around the corner, and I will be no longer be utilizing a nanny. Figured I'd save money and work from the car as needed during sports and take calls when needed. Worked like a charm!" — Ashley Seitzer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in six colors). 11. A robotic vacuum will lend you a helping hand in all your cleaning endeavors — Cheetos dust, coffee grinds, endless strands of hair; none of these stand a chance against you and your new partner in crime. They'll get the cleaning done so you can conquer another task on your to-do list. (Sigh, it's laundry, isn't it?) This robotic vacuum can easily move between hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpets/rugs and can pick up all the accumulated dust, dirt, and hair while you go about your day. It has an infrared sensor to avoid knocking into obstacles (like furniture and walls) and drop-sensing tech so it won't fall down stairs and off ledges. And if it starts to run low on battery, it'll just return to its base for a recharge! Reviewers do recommend keeping stray items like socks and cords off the floor before running this. Promising review:"This robot vacuum is incredible! I have three dogs and a cat; this vacuum is a time saver. I run it each day, and it has done an incredible job of keeping pet hair, dirt, and debris picked up in my home. Works well on carpet, hardwood, and tile floors. Wish I had purchased it sooner!" — t. hampton Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (also available in three other models). 12. A practical folding treadmill you can place right under your desk to get your steps in while tuning into yet another meeting that could've been an email — no more letting Martha from finance rob you of your precious time! Get ready to crush your work *and* fitness goals all at once. Promising review:"I love this walking pad; it's easy to use as it has a remote and mobile app. Depending on your preference, you can slow it down or speed it up. On the mobile app, you can track steps. It has a nice safety feature where it stops running if you step off of it while walking. It's very quiet. I love that it folds in half, and I can store it away. It's not too heavy to move it. It's perfect for home office and being active throughout the day." — Mehri Umbreit Get it from Amazon for $399. 13. Or a TikTok-famous desk bike if you'd rather *~cycle~* through your emails — this version has wheels, so you can literally *roll* it away when you're done with it. We looooove a multi-tasking moment! This compact, rolling desk bike is also height adjustable so you can get your perfect fit with the tray, has super quiet pedaling (won't interrupt your calls!), eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, rpm, and other stats. Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works. It's been liked over 2.5 million times! Promising review:"I have had this product for about a week now. Absolutely love it, what a game-changer!! As a consultant who lives a typical consulting life, I pretty much sit in front of a computer all day long. Even though I work remotely a lot, I barely leave my desk. After a while, you will start to suffer from all the common things, like everyone else: back pain, neck pain, you know, all those things. Those all got changed when I saw this product! To be honest, I didn't buy it right away because of the price, of course. But I finally decided to make the purchase as a holiday gift to myself. And I am so glad I made this choice! It hasn't been long, but I have been using it every day. It was super easy to put together and easy to move around because of the wheels. You can totally work while using it. The best part is, YOU DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WORKING OUT. And somehow it helps you to concentrate better. There is no need to dedicate one hour for the gym, this could be an anytime thing. When you are working, watching shows, even playing games. I guess because of the working out, my sleep improved as well. Not to mention the pains in my back. All in all, this thing changed my life!!" — joshua0315 Get it from Amazon for $249.99 (available in six styles). 15. A mason jar cold brew maker if you're a proud member of the Drinking-iced-coffee-all-year Club (here, here!) Plus, it'll be ready and waiting when you roll out of bed. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories. Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and colors). 16. Or a fancy-schmancy Terra Kaffe Super Automatic Espresso Machine for fans of hot coffee bevs — this magical gadget has an app feature that'll let you set auto-wake and sleep times so you won't have to waste a single second of your morning prepping your much-needed caffeine. It can make barista-like drip coffee and espresso from whole beans and pre-ground ones. Is this what inspired Ariana Grande to sing, "I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it?" This machine seems too good to be true, TBH. It has a dedicated heating element just for steam and a precision frothing dial to let you make your foam *exactly* as you like it (and you can use ANY milk with it!). You can create a customized drink menu — the machine will remember how you want your coffee! That's more than I can say for most of the chain coffee shops I've been to. The best part is that you can use ANY coffee you'd like with it. It's a splurge but will definitely be worthwhile (and save you money in the long run, since you'll be drinking coffee at home). Promising review:"I'm honestly impressed with this espresso machine. I've owned others in the past (Breville Barista, Breville Nespresso), and I'm loving Terra Kaffe. The overall quality, as well as the ease of use and setup, have been first in class. I appreciate that I can do pre-grinded and full coffee beans. So far, I've been using the pre-set Latte and Cappuccino setting, but I know I'll be playing around with settings, so I appreciate how much control you get over things like how much froth you want, the ratio of coffee to milk, and temperature. Highly recommended! Highly recommended!" — Andres_C Get it from Amazon for $1,695 (available in black or white). 17. Or a self-adhesive SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher to transform the espresso machine you already have and love into a smart device you can program to turn on before you hop out of bed. Once you set it up, you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man. Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband, who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine. Promising review:" This little bot has vastly improved my quality of life! I've stickered it to my air conditioner unit in two separate apartments, and it's made controlling the room temp a breeze (no pun intended). Do note, in order to use it with Alexa, you will need a separate component. That said, you can control it within its own app as is. I highly recommend getting it set up with Alexa, though. It automatically paired with Alexa, and it works off of Bluetooth, so it's super easy to detect and set up. It's exactly what I wanted!" — Danny Conner Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 18. A Better Breader Bowl — a container designed to make seasoning meat or veggies a cinch. All you have to do is add your bread crumbs/seasoning into one section and your meat/veggies to another, then shake, shake, shake! Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Breading anything makes such a mess in my kitchen, but I absolutely loved being able to do everything in one container. I only tried a dry rub, but I was so impressed with how evenly it coated. Plus, being dishwasher safe was a major bonus. Seriously considering getting some for gifts." — Susanne C. Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 19. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. I've literally told every single parent or parent-to-be in my life that THIS machine is what's keeping me going — it is the light of my life (next to my kids, of course). The number one item I simply could not live without is the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Literally, I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life over the last few years. It's essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It has the capability of mixing formula with the proper amount of water and dispensing it at the *perfect* temperature for baby. It has a button on it so I can easily choose how many ounces I want for a bottle, depending on how recently the baby has eaten sometimes we need only need 2-ounces instead of 4-ounces, etc. The bottle settings will stay in place, so while my baby is screaming (she gets hangry!) I just have to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the 'start' button. It's so easy I can literally do it with one hand while holding her. The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I just do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needs to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I have to do is ensure the formula container is filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we don't have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen while bleary-eyed and half asleep in the middle of the night. It really is a godsend, and I don't know what I'd do without it! Get it from Amazon for $198. 20. And a Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, because why clean bottles by hand when *THIS* exists? This magical machine washes, sterilizes, AND dries bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam. Take it from someone who genuinely knows — this will save you SO much time so you can do one of the other million things on your to-do list instead of hangin' out with a bottle brush. When I had my first child, I used the Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer, which is absolutely fantastic, but still had to hand wash and scrub the bottles before popping them into the machine. This new FANTASTIC model takes that completely out of the equation. I got it before having my daughter and it has truly changed my life — not an exaggeration. I haven't used a bottle brush ONCE, and she's almost 8 months old! It has six different cleaning modes, but I always use the 88-minute one that does all three features. The only somewhat downside is you'll need to purchase detergent tablets, but I promise you it's worth it. Here's what you'll need to do: fill the front partition of the machine with your bottles/nipples (or pump parts, whatever) and drop the detergent tablet into the bottom. Next, empty any water from previous cycles from the water basin and replace it back in the machine. Finally, fill the top container with clean (I used filtered) water up to the max line mark, then pop that back in as well. Choose which cycle you want to run and, BOOM, you're done! The whole water dumping/refilling process probably takes about...... five minutes? It is a bit bulky, so rather than keep ours in the kitchen we leave on top of our washing machine. It's also worth noting it holds four bottles at once, so we typically need to run it twice a day. TL;DR: It's a miracle machine. Get it from Amazon for $299.99. 21. A BabyBjörn Harmony Carrier, so you can do all kinds of things hands-free, like take your baby on a Target shopping trip, do chores around the house, make a salad, brush your hair, whatever! They'll likely get a nice, snuggly nap in while you get stuff done. It'll be a win for everyone! Since the birth of my son in 2022, I have been on the hunt for a baby carrier I love. It took me two years to find one that finally fit the bill! This one from BabyBjörn is pricey but has all the features I was looking for in a carrier. Many of the other brands I tried were SO difficult to figure out — how should the straps go? How do I get the baby in? How do I get the baby OUT?! The Harmony simplified all of those concerns with its easy-to-use clasp system. I could buckle my daughter in on my own, allowing me to go on more outings alone with her and my toddler. My neighbors definitely all had a glimpse of me wearing my daughter while pushing my son on his trike at the same time. (I am EXHAUSTED, to say the least.) Additionally, the material is very lightweight, whereas other brands I've tried left me and my tot feeling hot and sweaty. I used this one throughout the entire summer, and while I was, of course, warmer from having a baby strapped to me, I wasn't overtly dying of heat. It was also designed with padded shoulder straps and a pressure-relieving waist belt, which was MUCH appreciated. When your tyke inevitably spits up all over it, you can just toss it in the wash! Truly love this product. Get it from Amazon for $239.99 (available in nine styles). 22. A car seat buckle release tool that'll save both your nails and your precious time! No one wants to struggle to open those (thankfully) extremely secure buckles while they're kiddo is hitting a pitch that could likely break glass. This gadget doesn't attach to the car seat, so no need to fret about kiddos unbuckling themselves while you're driving. Promising review:"Love that my kindergartner can unbuckle himself. It makes morning school drop-off SO MUCH EASIER! And he likes the independence of being able to do it himself!" — Lauren Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors). 23. A grape cutter because who on earth wants to spend their precious time cutting grapes??? This lil' gadget will ensure your kiddo's favorite fruit is the perfect size without costing you an entire afternoon. Promising reviews:" Must have if you have toddlers. Wish I knew of this sooner. Has made it so much easier to cut grapes for my toddler. Now can do it one-handed when my LO won't let me set him down to cut the fruit. I have also used it to cut blueberries and blackberries." — Crystal Albertin "If your toddler loves grapes, this is a MUST-HAVE! So much easier than cutting into 4ths with a knife." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.76. 24. A rotating whisk blender you'll praise your new I-cook-all-the-time self for buying — it can blend, froth, whisk, beat, and stir, all without taking up much storage space in your kitchen. Are you someone who casually whips up a salad dressing all on your own? You just might be now, thanks to this tool. Check out a TikTok of the whisk in action. Promising review:"This is one of the coolest gizmos I've purchased! And it works like a charm, especially for scrambled eggs. I've always struggled with getting the egg white and yolk blended well together. This tool does the trick. I found it most effective with liquids. Any kind of sauce or salad dressing can be well blended with this tool too." — Austin Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 25. A game-changing Snap N' Strain to attach to any pot or bowl. Just think of how much space you'll save in your already crowded kitchen cabinets *and* how much time you'll save not searching for your strainer. It also has a spout so you can control how much liquid you pour out, and its compact design won't take up much storage space! Promising review:"Typically, I am not a fan of one-trick kitchen utensils. But this thing is a game changer!! Regular strainers are clunky and take up too much space, plus pouring scalding hot liquid into them with heavy food splashing around is dangerous and messy. This eliminates that. Seriously, how have I lived my life without this? I remember making a very large and heavy batch of soup stock, and it was difficult enough to just lift the pot and pour, let alone safely into a strainer that could easily move or tip over if I poured too quickly…but this baby made the transfer so easy it's almost laughable that anyone would use a normal strainer these days! It's sturdy, it stays in place, it's small, lightweight, won't rust, easy to clean, doesn't burn your hands after being submersed in liquid fire. What else could you ask for in a strainer? Enough already, just buy it!" — Kellu Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors). 26. A divided hamper that'll keep your lights/darks separate, so you won't have to spend any extra time sorting through your black and white socks. Efficiency is key, my friends. There's even detachable mesh bags inside so you can scoop your clothes right up and into the washing machine. Promising review:"It does its job. It was exactly how it was pictured. It's very well made and makes the bathroom look great. It has a nice flat top to put things on the hamper when it is closed. Unfortunately this hamper does not do laundry or put clothes in itself." — Chris T. Get it from Amazon for $48.46+ (available in five colors). 27. A Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier you likely saw on Shark Tank and thought "Wow, that's exactly what is missing from my life." Clip it onto your bags (it can lift up to 80 pounds!) sling 'em over your shoulder and be on your merry way. No need to make multiple, time-consuming trips back and forth to your car. Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors). 28. An undetectable laptop mouse jiggler that'll slide right into a USB port so you can sneak away to make some personal calls (schedule doctor's appointments, check in on your grandma, etc) without anyone noticing you're missing. Promising review:"Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings, and I use it on the minimal movement, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" — Isaiah Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 29. An electric potato peeler to transform spuds into mashed potatoes at record speed. If for some bizarre reason you *don't* want potatoes with every meal, it'll also work on other fruits 'n' veggies like like apples and kiwis. Promising review:"Love it! It's light and easy to use. When I used a potato peeler, I was always peeling too much potato with the peel. This blade is fine and only gets the skin, in seconds. Except for the 'poles' of the potato, but I don't mind. It's easy to clean if you have a sprayer to just rinse off the spikes where you insert your potatoes. Small enough and doesn't take up much room." — yestfl Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 30. And an amazing cheese grater that'll have you volunteering to bring mac and cheese for every potluck from here on out — it has the ability to grate an entire block of cheese in under a minute!!! It can also grate vegetables and nuts, in case you were wondering. Check it out in this TikTok video to see it work its magic. Promising review: "The one I received was sharp enough to get the job done! I shred a large head of cabbage in less than five minutes, counting clean-up! Shreds potatoes just as quick with peels on, or thin slices just as easy! Cheese I would partly freeze before shredding as it will get a little gummy the warmer it gets! Clean counter suction works great. I lightly dampened, dried, placed on counter, holds real strong! Oh, I also slice a cored apple in no time!" — Macy S. Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 11 colors and two styles). 31. A veggie chopper because none of us have time to cry at the club anymore — and by "club," I mean your kitchen, and by "us," I mean myself (I'm reserving for my annual viewing of Titanic). Anyways, this baby will dice up anything you throw in it at record speed. Chop, chop! Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in four colors). 32. A cup rinser that'll make cleaning bottles, glasses, and mugs as easy as 1, 2, 3, which means you'll have more time to do more important things like do a deep dive on social media to figure out if your neighbor's sister got engaged. You know, important things! Amazon, Check out a TikTok of the cup washer in action. To install, you can use the instructions and materials provided to easily hook it up to the hot water line. Note that this won't install on sinks without a flat edge! Promising review:"Never knew I needed one until I saw it on TikTok, and with water bottles and toddler cups it is essential to my household!" — Gayla Brink Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 33. An Emeril Lagasse dual-zone air fryer oven combo with precise temperature for both sides so you can cook two very different items at once (and in two different ways). It has the capability to air fry, bake, cook pizza, reheat, dehydrate, roast, broil, grill, toast, keep items warm, slow cook, and can be used as a rotisserie. Bam! Emeril is still killin' it! Amazon, Promising review:"We purchased this oven after our 26-inch drop-in oven finally saw its last day. It is a temporary oven 'til we remodel the kitchen. This oven does it all. I have cooked amazing dinners, cakes, cookies, and pies. the dual-zone sync option is awesome. Very happy customer here!!!" — Steve Get it from Amazon for $253.99.

41 Gadgets And Gizmos That'll Make You Feel Like You're Living In The Future
1. An outlet light for anyone who has accidentally walked into a wall one (or two) times too many when getting up in the middle for a glass of water — this lil' gadget will subtly light your way without the need for a bulkier option. Amazon Promising review:"I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." — LMK Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in four colors and three sizes). 2. A solar-powered bird feeder with a built-in AI-powered camera that'll show you a live video of your new feathered friends as they snack away and promptly tell you what kind of species they are! Your productivity is about to go waaaaay down — but you'll learn so much about birds (which is more important than getting your laundry done, right?) Promising review:"I bought one for my girlfriend for Christmas and ended up having to buy one for my mother-in-law and my mother because they liked it so much. Quality construction, does everything a ring camera does and so much more. Identifies all of the birds, stores everything so you can go back and watch the videos. Great price point. We love our bird camera!!" — Joseph Mikula Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in four colors). 3. A portable HP photo printer that'll make you the most popular person at any party — it can connect to multiple devices, so your friends can easily print their pics while you're out having a good time. The printed photos have sticky backings that make them easy to display (or place around your pal's house as a prank 😉). Promising review:"I was tired of running to the store for a few pictures and waiting for half an hour. This is what I decided to try and it was super easy — a no-brainer. I loved it and it didn't take much effort to make a project for my kids." — Monrudee kavan Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in five colors and as a starter bundle). 4. An alarm clock on wheels you'll quickly develop a complicated relationship with — it'll roll around, jump, shake, make robotic sounds and essentially just annoy you until you *finally* have to get out of bed, tackle it, and start your day. Clocky is a small business! Promising review:"My friends and family all know how terrible I am at waking up in the morning. Every alarm clock I have ever used has been defeated by my quick 'hit snooze button' reflexes. So much so I find myself rushing for the door more often than I'd like. All that changed when I found Clocky. CLOCKY WORKS! Clocky moves so I can't get comfortable or used to where the snooze button is placed. I easily carry Clocky to any room in the house I choose to get cozy, relax, and watch some TV 'til I fall asleep on a work night. I LOVE CLOCKY and highly recommend giving it a chance because you will fall in love with the results. I am now actively waking up at the original time I set my alarm to and also staying up so I can have a productive day. Get Clocky and save your day! ☆☆☆☆☆" — Valued Customer Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in seven colors). 5. A Bluetooth scrolling remote that'll take your laziness trait to the next level but leave you feeling smug at the same time for working smarter, not harder. You can set this bad boy up, get under your covers, and enjoy some seriously cozy, hands-free scrolling. This nifty gadget also works with a Kindle and can also pair with a phone camera to take photos or video from up to 33 feet away. Promising review:"Life changing. I'm a lazy girl who is way too obsessed with TikTok. This little remote makes it possible to just set my phone down, get cozy under a blanket and do it allll with my thumb under the covers. I'm sooo happy with this. It's a little tight on my finger but I just wear it a little higher where it isn't uncomfortable. It was very easy to set up for my Android device. It takes a USB-C charger (provided) and idk. I just love it. I'll probably buy these for the rest of my life." — Allison Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors). 6. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. I've literally told every single parent or parent-to-be in my life that THIS machine is what's keeping me going — it is the light of my life (next to my kids, of course). The number one item I simply could not live without is the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Literally I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life over the last few years. It's essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It has the capability of mixing formula with the proper amount of water and dispensing it at the *perfect* temperature for baby. It has a button on it so I can easily choose how many ounces I want for a bottle, depending on how recently the baby has eaten sometimes we need only need 2 oz instead of 4 oz, etc. The bottle settings will stay in place so while my baby is screaming (she gets hangry!) I just have to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the 'start' button. It's so easy I can literally do it with one hand while holding her. The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I just do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needs to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I have to do is ensure the formula container is filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we don't have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen while bleary-eyed and half asleep in the middle of the night. It really is a godsend and I don't know what I'd do without it! Get it from Amazon for $198. 7. And a Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, because why not add another gadget into the mix? This magical machine washes, sterilizes, AND dries bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam. Take it from someone who genuinely knows — this will save you SO much time so you can do one of the other million things on your to-do list instead of hangin' out with a bottle brush. When I had my first child I used the Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer, which is absolutely fantastic, but still had to hand wash and scrub the bottles before popping them into the machine. This new FANTASTIC model takes that completely out of the equation. I got it before having my daughter and it has truly changed my life — not an exaggeration. I haven't used a bottle brush ONCE and she's almost 8 months old! It has six different cleaning modes, but I always use the 88-minute one that does all three features. The only somewhat downside is you'll need to purchase detergent tablets, but I promise you it's worth it. Here's what you'll need to do: fill the front partition of the machine with your bottles/nipples (or pump parts, whatever) and drop the detergent tablet into the bottom. Next, empty any water from previous cycles from the water basin and replace it back in the machine. Finally, fill the top container with clean (I used filtered) water up to the max line mark, then pop that back in as well. Choose which cycle you want to run and, BOOM, you're done! The whole water dumping/refilling process probably takes about...... five minutes? It is a bit bulky, so rather than keep ours in the kitchen we leave on top of our washing machine. It's also worth noting it holds four bottles at once, so we typically need to run it twice a day. TL;DR: It's a miracle machine. Get it from Amazon for $299.99. 8. A compact Kindle for any lit lover with such a long TBR list that your nightstand simply can't contain it anymore — this option will let you continue to expand your shelf virtually and take your book on-the-go without taking up too much precious space in your bag that's already filled the brim with old receipts, hand sanitizer, mints, an old granola bar, the list goes on. I have a Kindle and surprisingly have become a big fan of it — especially when traveling. While I absolutely prefer a hardcover book, it's nearly impossible to put more than two (which is a stretch in itself) in my suitcase along with my clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. I read most of my books these days through the Libby app (all you need is a library card for access) which can be used via your phone or Kindle. No need to spend tons of money on novels when I simply am not someone who rereads them! I like that I can use this one near water without fear of it getting destroyed (yikes). Promising review: "Love the new Kindle! It's a perfect carry and go size, it is so easy to use and set up took less than 5 minutes! The screen is clear and it is easy to switch between light and dark mode. The matcha color is also a huge plus! I am so pleased with this new purchase!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in two colors and with or without ads/ a Kindle Unlimited subscription). 9. A self-adhesive SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (apologies) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up, you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man. Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine. Promising review:" This little bot has vastly improved my quality of life! I've stickered it to my air conditioner unit in two separate apartments, and it's made controlling the room temp a breeze (no pun intended). Do note, in order to use it with Alexa, you will need a separate component. That said, you can control it within its own app as is. I highly recommend getting it set up with Alexa, though. It automatically paired with Alexa, and it works off of Bluetooth, so it's super easy to detect and set up. It's exactly what I wanted!" — Danny Conner Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in white and black). 10. A toothbrush holder and dispenser, because mornings are hard enough to cope with so you might as well mount this bad boy and let it dispense your toothpaste for you. It's the little things! Amazon Promising review:"I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, cotton swabs, or flossers." — Sariyah J Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four colors). 11. A high-tech trash can you'll probably cry tears of joy over if you hate germs, because now you'll never have to physically touch the garbage can again. Simplehuman also makes custom-fit liners for each of their trash cans, which fit perfectly in the can's back compartment and conveniently dispenses from inside the can. I have this very garbage can and often finding myself awkwardly waving my hand over OTHER ones expecting them to magically open like mine does. Oops. Promising review:"It looks sharp and is so convenient. I love how well the trash bags fit, how the lid keeps the bag hidden, and that the bin stores the spare bags in a handy little compartment. The step lid seems sturdy, closes quietly, and keeps odors contained. The snug bag fit also ensures trash fills the bag well, instead of awkwardly. The 45-liter size is perfect for our two-person home and holds more than I thought it would. We're no longer overfilling our bin and changing the bag is an absolutely breeze since you don't have to totally remove the larger lid — you just flip it up. I'm so happy with this trash can." — Sally Bidwell Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in three sizes and colors). 12. A reusable smartnotebook to seamlessly combine your love of handwritten notes with the ease of taking them digitally (here's to you, Rocketbook app!). As you write in this seemingly magical notebook your notes will *also* be recorded in the app. Is it 2025 or 3025? This set includes the notebook, a Pilot Frixion pen, and a microfiber cloth to wipe it all away. Once wiped away they'll be transported through cloud services with the Rocketbook app, which is available for both iOS and Android. Promising review:"Love my Rocketbook Fusion! I thought this looked cool and so I ordered one. Then I joined a group on social media that is for owners of Rocketbooks and my brain has been blown. There is soooooo much one can do with these notebooks! I am loving having it to take notes while I'm on a Zoom call for work. I am more engaged and I process more when I'm taking notes in writing. I've always had stacks of notebooks. Small ones for different projects at work. Another for personal thoughts. Another for a nonprofit I'm on the board of. Of course a planner or two for good measure. Now I have one. One thin notebook. And several fun pens... Now I can meal plan, project track, journal, and take notes all in one place! Rocketbook also puts out some great videos with ideas on how to personalize the pages for your individual needs. Possibilities are endless!" — Nikola Sievert Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in two sizes and in 14 colors). 13. An undetectable laptop mouse jiggler that'll slide right into a USB port so you can sneak away to catch your breath and grab a coffee without anyone wondering why you've been offline for so long. Amazon Promising review:"Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep and when I come back, everything is logged out and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings and I use it on the minimal movement so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" — Isaiah Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 14. An electric potato peeler to transform spuds into mashed potatoes at record speed. If for some bizarre reason you *don't* want potatoes with every meal, it'll also work on other fruits 'n' veggies like like apples and kiwis. Promising review:"Love it! It's light and easy to use. When I use a potato peeler I was always peeling too much potato with the peel. This blade is fine and only gets the skin, in seconds. Except for the 'poles' of the potato, but I don't mind. It's easy to clean if you have a sprayer to just rinse off the spikes where you insert your potatoes. Small enough and doesn't take up much room." — yestfl Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 15. Motorized custom shades that'll help you make even the sunniest of days into cozy ones fit for movie marathons — all you'll have to do is click your remote or ask Alexa or Google to lower them for you! Promising review: "While a bit spendy, these blinds are great! The customer service is impeccable, and they are very responsive and were able to work with my poor measuring skills to get me sorted with a new set that only required a motor swap! After doing it twice because I put the reset button the wrong way, I'm back installed, and they work great!!!! Thank you!!" — Johnny X. Get them from Amazon for $153.99+ (available in 14 colors; all orders are custom sized). 16. A chic Aura picture frame with the ability to display a seemingly endless number of photos that can be added by everyone in your family thanks to its easy-to-use app! Send everyone in your life an invite and grant them the ability to upload pics to your frame (if you dare). Aura is a small business! My husband and I have one of these in our home (our daughter, who is 9-months-old cries whenever my husband shows up on the screen because she's obsessed with him) and have also gifted it to his grandparents and both of our parents. We're diehards for this digital frame, to say the least. Instead of sending everyone updated photos of the grandkids (my kids) directly, I was able to create one album that automatically updates onto their frames. Everyone feels in the loop and is constantly commenting about how much they love being able to see the kids daily. You can also invite other people to upload their photos/videos to the Aura app — and there is unlimited storage on each frame! Promising review:"I had been looking for years for something just like this! Not only is this a very clear picture frame, the app it uses is exactly what I wanted for my parents. Somewhere that the whole family could leave pictures and notes to each other privately. It's like a personal Instagram for only my family. The initial set up was rather difficult but not a single issue after that. We have been using this frame and app for nearly one year and it has worked flawlessly. I was worried about spending so much money on a digital frame and it not being what I wanted. But this is a true piece of quality and worth every penny." — Nicole Get it it from Amazon for $139+ (available in nine colors). 17. A robotic vacuum, because you and I both know you don't want to spend a weekend morning trying to conquer all of the pet hair, debris, and other unexplainable messes that have found their way into your home. Kick your feet up, put on a podcast, and let this lil' gadget do its thing. This robo vac can easily move between hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpets/rugs and can pick up all the accumulated dust, dirt, and hair while you go about your day. It has an infrared sensor to avoid knocking into obstacles (like furniture and walls) and drop-sensing tech so it won't fall down stairs and off ledges. And if it starts to run low on battery, it'll just return to its base for a recharge! Reviewer do recommend keeping stray items like socks and cords off the floor before running this. Promising review:"This robot vacuum is incredible! I have three dogs and a cat; this vacuum is a time saver. I run it each day and it has done an incredible job of keeping pet hair, dirt and debris picked up in my home. Works well on carpet, hardwood, and tile floors. Wish I had purchased it sooner!" — t. hampton Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (also available in a model with home mapping). 18. A dazzling candle warmer with a lampshade reminiscent of a high-end crystal chandelier you'd likely see in the middle of a ballroom on Bridgerton. More importantly, you won't need to keep a stash of matches on hand *and* your fave candle will last basically forever since it won't actually be burning down when you pair it with this gadget. Promising review: "I loved this candle warmer! I love that it has different functions, even a timer to set how long you want it on. The lights are super cool, too, and you don't get that smoky smell when you blow out a candle. Definitely obsessed!" — Laura Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in two styles). 19. Or a cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck to light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambiance without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid. Promising review: "I cook outside, and lighting a fire during wet and windy weather was a real pain. This lighter was a game changer! As long as the material is dry, this lighter will light regularly, consistently, and easily. Plus, it's rechargeable! Love it!" — Sandra Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in eight colors and as a two-pack). 20. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that'll fantastically suck up all the dust and debris you sweep its way — Rosie from The Jetsons is shaking!!! Amazon Promising review:"This is my second EyeVac. I use it in my salon. It is very difficult to sweep up tiny fragments of hair with a regular dustpan and broom. The eyevac eliminates that problem- all the small particles are sucked into the machine. And it is quite easy to dump out when it is full!" — Christy Palmer 21. An Emeril Lagasse dual zone air fryer over combo with precise temperature for both sides so you can cook two very different items at once (and in two different ways). It has the capability to air fry, bake, cook pizza, reheat, dehydrate, roast, broil, grill, toast, keep items warm, slow cook, and can be used as a rotisserie. Bam! Emeril is still killin' it! Amazon, Promising review:"We purchased this oven after our 26-inch drop-in oven finally saw its last day. It is a temporary oven till we remodel the kitchen. This oven does it all. I have cooked amazing dinners, cakes, cookies, and pies. the dual-zone sync option is awesome. Very happy customer here!!!" — Steve Get it from Amazon for $299.99. 22. A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth music so you can fully indulge and relax while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches. Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon's must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn't interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $52.99 (available in seven colors). 23. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter that'll let you use your Bluetooth headphones to watch the big game you were grumpy about having to miss because you'd be in-flight during kickoff. It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual. Twelve South is a small business that has been creating innovative tech accessories since 2009. BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart has this gadget and is a fan: " Last year I splurged on some AirPod Maxes and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)." Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in three models). 24. A sunrise alarm clock to wake you up so pleasantly you'll forget for a second that you're in your own room and likely running late for work instead of naturally rising with the sun at a beachside resort. This lovely lil' gadget has seven different light settings, calming "wake up" noises, and can be set to gradually get brighter at 30, 20, or 10 minutes. Promising review:"I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $32.48+ (available in three styles). 25. A PhoneSoap UV sanitizer you can toss your phone into for a quick 10 minutes after you get home to get rid of the grime that's surely lurking everywhere we go. I have one of these bad boys and can validate that it is SO easy to use. I pop my phone into it when I get in the shower and click the lil' button on the front to start the cleaning process. You can also charge your phone while it's inside the machine. Fellow germaphobes — you can thank me later. Promising review:"Bought this along with a set of agar plates to test it for ourselves. We swabbed my daughter's and husband's phones before and after use. It does work. We are very happy with the product." — Ginger Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in five colors). 26. A Samsung TV that'll disguise itself as an elegant picture frame when it's not in use so you can *finally* live out your dream of treating your home like a museum. Are we at the Louvre or your one-bedroom apartment? I can barely tell the difference! Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed I own this TV and absolutely adore it — it's really helped tie my living room together and I love swapping out the "picture" we display on it for each season. BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has and loves her frame TV as well. She said: "This is honest and truly the best splurge I have ever made. It has massively upgraded the look in my living room. My husband loves the photography options and I love all the classical paintings – as someone who loves changing up my decor, being able to update the display images has been so fun. The quality is fantastic while watching movies and I'm pretty sure I love it as a piece of art in my home even more." BuzzFeed Home Editor Sally Elshorafa is a fan: "This TV was such a splurge for me, but I got it on sale last Cyber Monday so I at least got a really good deal. I love, love, love that when it's not on it looks like a realistic piece of art. There's so many different pieces of art to choose from — from contemporary photography to classic works from the greats like Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh. You can pick the style and color of the mat, too. When it comes to watching TV, it's crystal clear. I should note that I got a custom brown bezel because I'm extremely extra when it comes to interior design." 27. An electric waterproof bubble massage mat complete with a built-in heater and an aroma clip for essential oil aromatherapy. Just imagine how wonderful this will feel after a long workout or a long day. Promising review:" This product provides a great massage technique for my back muscles. I experience a lot of pain and tension in my shoulders. And I have chronic pain in my lower back. I also like the aromatherapy pad. What a great, soothing, and relaxing experience for the low cost." — Octavia Get it from Amazon for $134. 28. A Nanit monitor and wall mount to help you keep a watchful eye on your babe while they sleep — you can also easily see stats on how long they've been asleep or if they're standing and not-so-patiently waiting for you to come scoop 'em up. I switched to the Nanit monitoring system when my daughter was born because the app has an incredible split-screen option that lets me watch both kiddos at once — it's been a game changer. It's super easy to set up, and once you've done so, there's nothing more to do but the occasional software update. The app itself is simple: it shows you a view of your kiddo's crib, notes how long they've been asleep, if they're crying, or if they're standing. The audio and picture are so clear (including the night mode), and the camera itself is unobtrusive to my kids' rooms' decor. I also love that even if I'm out (rarely) I can check in on my sleeping babies for some peace of mind. Promising review:"This baby monitor is an absolute parenting game-changer — a solid 10/10 in every possible way! The seamless synchronization with your phone, even when you're away from home, is revolutionary. The real-time alerts for sound and motion keep you informed about every move your little one makes. The standout feature is the ability to meticulously track your baby's sleep patterns, capturing every waking moment, putting down, and sweet falling asleep. Revisiting memories of your baby sleeping is an emotional treasure, and the expert advice on optimizing sleep for your child is a priceless addition. If you seek a baby monitor that seamlessly integrates advanced technology with practical parenting insights, look no further. This monitor has elevated my parenting journey, offering unparalleled peace of mind and heartwarming memories. A resounding 10/10!" — Savannah Wooden Get it from Amazon for $299.99. 29. A Baby Shusher because even though it may seem silly to buy a gadget that literally makes a sound you can make on your own for free, you'll be happy to have it come 2 a.m. when you're exhausted and *really* not in the mood to continue 'shhh'ing repeatedly. The Baby Shusher is safe to use in a crib, has adjustable volume, and it can be set to make noise for 15- or 30-minute intervals. Additionally, it comes from a small business. Promising review:" I was so tired of 'shushing.' Literally, I shushed so hard and for so long, it made me light-headed. My baby has serious FOMO and fights naps like the plague. This helps so much! Even during the worst fits, this helps calm her, and she's out in minutes. Great for the car too!" — Jami Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 30. And a Munchkin UV-sterilizing diaper pail you'll be SO happy you purchased. The UV light is said to kill staph, E. coli and klebsiella, and odor-causing bacteria. Munchkin I put this in my toddler's room and it has been SUCH a game changer. Our previous diaper pail got the job done but was very hard to clean and the yucky smell lingered FOREVER. This one from Munchkin has fully solved that issue for us. I was reluctant to try it out because I wasn't sure how I felt about not being able to use regular ol' garbage bags in it — but it's already proven itself to be worth it. I'm not a scientist or a doctor so I honestly don't know if the UV light kills bacteria, but I do have a very sensitive sense of smell and this pail has made it possible for me to toss out dirty diapers without gagging. It absolutely keeps the scent contained and for that reason alone it's worth the splurge. Naturally I also have one for my daughter's nursery as well — and double the amount of bag refills. 😅 Get it from Amazon for $129.99. 31. A splurge-worthy Dyson Airstrait that'll change the way you straighten your hair forever — it uses directional air flow (no metal plates!) to both dry and straighten your hair in minutes. Seriously, it only took me 10 minutes to do my hair directly from the shower! Heather Braga / BuzzFeed I've had the pleasure of testing out the Dyson Airstrait and, OMG, what an incredible piece of technology. Yes, I called this "tech" instead of a beauty tool. While it is both of these things, I was amazed by the gadget-ness of it right off the bat. I literally had to select on an LCD screen what language MY STRAIGHTENER should be set Anyways! The Airstrait has the ability to straighten both wet or dry hair — and does without the use of damaging hot plates. It uses directional airflow to smooth and straighten hair and, honestly, it is a pretty magical experience. The biggest learning curve for me was realizing the copper pieces (where the fan lives) need to face outward so you're not blowing your hair all over the place. The fan increases when you clamp the Airstrait around your hair (HOW DOES IT KNOW!?) and pauses entirely when you set it down (seen in the GIF to the left). Additionally, I have a toddler and am very limited on time. With this gadget I was able to take my hair from directly-from-the-shower wet to natural-looking straight hair in only TEN MINUTES. This is going to be such a game changer for my life!!! It's definitely worth the splurge. Add this to your holiday wish list or, you know, get it now. Get it from Amazon for $499 (available in four colors). 32. Or a rotating Beachwaver curling iron featuring the ability to basically curl your hair for you while you stand around watching YouTube videos. Technology these days, man. Beachwaver BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers! She said: "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." Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 33. A Philips compact pasta maker for anyone who is a pasta snob and prefers it freshly made but is simply sick and tired of going out for dinner. Toss your ingredients into the machine and let it prep Sunday dinner for ya. 🍝 It comes with shaping discs for spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, pappardelle, tagliatelle, angel hair, and lasagna. Plus, there's an included recipe book for meal inspiration. Promising review:"I was just as skeptical as you are. I, too, have been doing the old school — make the dough, roll it out, run it through a pasta machine, etc. — method. It's a production, all for AMAZING pasta. With this, you put the ingredients in, push a button, and watch for AMAZING pasta to be extruded. I had hoped I'd be able to multitask a bit more, but it extrudes so fast there isn't much time for other tasks between cutting it. But I think that seems reasonable. The other thing to consider is that you have to be VERY exact with the measurements of the ingredients. I've found weighing them works best. The recipes in the included book work great." — Conversio Get it from Amazon for $129.95+ (available in black or white). 34. A Furbo camera that's an absolute must-have for pet parents — you'll be able to check on Fido at any time and will even receive push notifications when your pup is barking so you can talk to them through the app to calm them and even toss them a treat! It features real-time two-way audio, color night vision, and a 360-degree rotating 1080p camera. Promising review: "Having cameras inside the house are nice for checking on the dogs. Having a feeder where you can watch your dogs eat is better. Having a camera that can swivel to check where your dogs went and feed them? Perfect. The setup was easy, and I was up and running in no time. I have no regrets making this purchase, and I've gotten my dogs used to the new camera, and they definitely enjoy all the treats being dispensed. It's also nice to be able to talk to the pups and stop them from doing stuff through the mic. Highly recommend for people who aren't at home a lot and worry about their pets and just want to give them some loving while you're busy." — Eugene Get it from Amazon for $129.99. 35. A stuffed waffle maker you can count on to make all of your brunch dreams come true — fill 'em with cream cheese, strawberries, chicken, or anything else your heart desires! Promising review:"Oh my goodness. This was way better than expected. Definitely only need one waffle per person, they are huge. T hey are beyond delicious and the stuffing options are endless. It does take about seven minutes to make one waffle but totally worth it. Comes out perfect every single time. No issues at all. Buy it now!" — armywife Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 36. A thin bar light to brighten your gaming area so you can happily continue to play hours and hours (AND HOURS) of World of Warcraft without your partner asking, "are you still sitting in the dark?" Promising review: "It's a good option for a streamer with an overhead camera showing off their custom keyboard, gaming mouse, or artisan desk mat. Highly recommended, and for the price, it's worth every dollar you spend." — MarkusTechCorner Get it from Amazon for $109. 37. A Levo II that'll help you create an entire slew of ingredients to cook with. From infused butter and honey to salad dressings and oils, you won't know where to begin! / Via @levo_oil All you have to do is fill the herb pod, set your dry or activation cycle, add oil or butter, set your infuse cycle, dispense, and enjoy! This item ships 7–10 weeks from when you order it. Promising review:"Although it was a little over a month wait for my Levo II to come in, it has been one of the best kitchen appliances I have ever purchased. Speedy infusions and tasty creations. I will always brag on how much I love my Levo and continue to recommend it to my friends and family members for years to come. ❤️ Thank you Levo!" — Peyton M. Get it from Levo Oil for $329+ (available in five colors). 38. A Zojirushi Bread Maker that'll do all the hard work for you (kneading, timing, etc) and leave you with an absolutely divine loaf of bread you'd expect to pick up at a farmer's market. Promising review:"I was hesitant to purchase a bread machine since I've always made bread with my Bosch mixer but this one is worth the money! Have made beautiful tender loaves every time! I've found recipes online and made the best banana bread and cinnamon chip bread as well as white, multi grain wheat, sourdough, lemon and orange breads! So easy for a busy mom to throw the ingredients in and start the machine and walk away! I've waited to post a review until I made over a dozen loaves and HIGHLY recommend!" — Sue Get it from Amazon for $399.95. 39. A Sonos Move 2 portable Bluetooth speaker made from water-resistant polycarbonate material so you can pop it outside when your friends come over to hang out, blast some Charli XCX, then bring it back indoors and place it on its charging dock for safekeeping. It has Wi-Fi capabilities built right into it, so you can seamlessly cosplay as a DJ using your phone or tablet. Amazon, The sleek speaker features a high-fidelity stereo soundstage, aka incredible-sounding music, but without a clunky, overbearing footprint. I recently got one and can't wait for it to warm up to truly test it in The Great Outdoors. For now, the sound quality in my house has been a 10/10. Promising review: " The Sonos Move 2 is an exceptional speaker that delivers amazing sound quality wherever you go. I recently used it at the tennis court and a campsite, and the Bluetooth audio performance was crystal clear and powerful, even in open spaces. I was pleasantly surprised by how light it felt — it's much easier to carry around than I expected. At home, it seamlessly connected to WiFi, offering the convenience of streaming music without interruptions. The versatility of this speaker makes it worth every penny. Whether indoors or outdoors, the Sonos Move 2 delivers outstanding sound with impressive portability. Highly recommended!" — Scott Wu Get it from Amazon for $430.36+ (available in two colors). 40. A seriously impressive xBloom coffee machine bundle that'll transform you into a barista seemingly overnight — this spectacular machine lets you use whole beans in a pod-like system to craft cafe-quality pour-over drinks from your home. This is a seriously next-level machine that is meticulously calibrated (but does so all on its own). xBloom This special bundle includes the original machine, Pair Cupworks' limited-edition Valentine's coffee, an Onyx's Terroir sippiong chocolate, and two KINTO mugs (designed in Japan)! You can use whatever beans you like with the machine's grinder feature to make your drinks daily. Look out, Starbies. You've got some serious competition! Promising review:"It had been the best coffee maker I've used it's a whole experience, I showed it to friends and family and everyone it's impress by its aesthetics and coffee making process. Also the taste it's just wow!" — Louis A Get it from xBloom Coffee for $499. 41. And a Dyson WashG1 wet cleaner — one of their latest innovations that'll be an investment worth making. It magically glides across hard floors and thoroughly removes debris, stains, hair (!!!) and other liquids with just water (though you can add detergent if you'd like). You'll be amazed to see how dirty the water becomes in the tank while you clean! Dyson / Via I have this bad boy and lemme tell you — it is worth every single penny. Yes, it's pricey, but my home is primarily tile and wood floors and I have two little kids (who basically love on said floors). It uses microfiber rollers to clean and does so so well you'd think there was some sort of magic involved in the making of it. You don't need to do repeated passes to see results — the water in the bottom tank turned so dark my husband and I were horrified (as we mop and vacuum regularly!). After his first try my husband said, "Goodbye, mop!" It's lightweight, which is a huge perk, and the LCD screen lets you select various hydration levels and tells you how much battery time is left. Personally, my favorite highlight is that even though it is a functioning mop of sorts that uses water to clean my floors don't stay wet for very long at all. You can literally walk over the spots you cleaned moments later! It also cleans itself, which is fantastic. Definitely worth the splurge. Get it from Dyson for $699.99.

Calling All *Non* Morning People: Here Are 30 Products To Help You Start Your Day Feeling A Lot Less 'Ugh'
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 · Rise and shine, sleepyhead — it's time to make the morning your favorite part of the day. 1. A sunrise alarm clock that gently wakes your body up instead of that traumatizing iPhone alarm sound (you know the one). This wakes you up to the sounds of nature with a light that gradually brightens half an hour before your set alarm time so that you don't start your day on the wrong side of the bed. This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming "wake up" noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before you wake. Promising review:"I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $31.92+ (available in three colors). 2. Or an annoyingly humorous Clocky alarm clock — if you're a heavy sleeper who tends to abuse the snooze button, you've just met your match. Like all alarm clocks, it rings when it's time to get then it becomes an escape artist, leaps off your nightstand, and runs away. Now, the only way to turn it off is to actually open your eyes and get out of bed! Reviewers swear by it as a hilarious and truly effective way to get an early start to their day. And don't worry, you can set it to behave like a normal alarm clock as well — especially during your weekends! Promising review: "This wild little alarm clock really does wake up heavy sleepers! We love it! If you are or know a heavy sleeper, then this will not only do the job but also give you lots to laugh about when they tell you the stories about their having to get up and chase it around the room so they can turn it off! It really does exactly what is advertised. Although you can set the alarm to behave like a "normal" alarm clock, the actual appeal of it is how it becomes an escape artist when the alarm goes off, jumps off of the nightstand, and rolls and bounces all over the room, whooping and dinging, until you are able to grab it and turn it off. By this time, guess what? You're awake! Definitely recommended." — Gahvno Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in seven colors). 3. A Two Minute Mornings daily journal because a good day can come down to something as simple as how you start your morning. This helps you stay mindful of what you will let go of, what you're grateful for, and what you'll focus on to set yourself up for a successful day! Amazon Promising review:"This was purchased for me as a Christmas gift from a coworker. I only recently started using it, as I've been dealing with some troubles in my life. I don't know what it is, but even if I repeat some of the same stuff... getting this done in the mornings (or sometimes at night if I don't make the time in the mornings) has made such a tremendous difference in my attitude toward myself and to others. So much so, that several people have taken notice. I have since purchased a couple of copies for friends who are also dealing with troubles in their lives. I highly recommend it. Even if you aren't dealing with any issues in life, it's such a help for clearing your head before starting your day." — Sumo Get it from Amazon for $15.61. 4. A hydrating eye stick that has a cooling formula infused with niacinamide and Icelandic mineral water, moss, and seaweed extract to help de-puff the area around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles. You no longer have to show up to the office looking like a Tim Burton character. Amazing. It also helps tighten eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration. Promising review:"This is definitely a miracle product. I was impressed that it worked so well, so fast, and so instantly. The packaging is silly but whimsical; I enjoy it. This is the last thing I apply before walking out the door. First day I used it, I put it on and got in my car — I looked in the rear view mirror and my heart jumped. My eyes had de-puffed on my walk down the front path!!! So impressive. It's not hydrating, it's more tightening/brightening. If you have dry under eyes, use a creamy hydrating eye cream first, and apply this over it — problem solved. You don't get much product, but you don't need to use much either, and it's not like it's expensive. Definitely worth it if a product actually DOES what it claims it'll do!!! Buy it!" — Joseph S. Get it from Amazon for $9.79 (also available as a peptide eyestick, a collagen eyestick, and in multipacks). 5. A cold brew coffee maker to prep your morning fix the night before and wake up to some freshly made iced coffee ready to give you the energy you need for the day. It's airtight to keep all the delicious flavor in and comes with an ultra-fine mesh filter to keep those pesky coffee grounds out! Amazon This pitcher is BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and locks in all the fresh coffee flavors. Just add ground coffee, cold water, refrigerate, and voila! My caffeine obsession will definitely be getting much worse now. Promising review:"I ordered the larger size in this product and I am very pleased with the quality and simplicity of it! It takes me no more than 2-3 minutes to get the jar prepped, and letting it sit 12-24 hours in the refrigerator has had the best results for me. The jar itself is easy to clean, but you do have to rinse the mesh cone out for quite a while to get all the grounds out. It fits perfectly in my refrigerator, and lasts me about 4-5 days. This cute cold brew coffee jar is such a life and time saver for my busy college mornings!" — Bailey Bryant Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 6. And a handheld milk frother if you spend so much money at the coffee shop, the baristas are starting to learn your name. 😬 This lets you curate your own rich, creamy foam in seconds so that you can enjoy caramel macchiatos and other foamy cups of joy from the comfort of your own home (and with probably twice the amount of money in your bank account than usual). Promising review:" Best frother that I've ever comfortable to use and powerful, too. Got this to replace another branded one that zonked out on me after only a couple of months. Love love this frother. I use it to 'blend' my morning coffee with coconut oil. This frother is more powerful than my last. The stand is a nice little bonus to keep the frother off the table and from rolling off the counter. The handle is very comfortable to hold. The back (if the label is facing you), has an index finger rest. I highly recommend this frother." — N Duong Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 45 styles). 7. A Dash mini maker you'll simply adore for a yummy homemade breakfast. The griddle heats up in just minutes and has dual nonstick surfaces so that cleanup is a breeze. You can even use it for hash browns, paninis, cookies, and *drum roll*...pizza! Promising review: "This is the perfect easy breakfast sandwich maker. It cooks the egg perfectly (I used jumbo eggs, and it worked perfectly just like regular eggs). It's honestly one of my personal favorite appliances. I just had a baby, and having something I can crack an egg into and let it sit to cook without having to flip and it's done within five minutes is honestly a lifesaver, and it cleans super easy! 10/10 I love this thing; it's just like my George Foreman!" — Emily Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors). 8. A brightening and depuffing serum — it's like coffee for your skin (because it deserves the wonders of coffee, too!). This revitalizing elixir contains 15% vitamin C complex, passion and dragonfruit extracts, and yerba mate and guayusa extracts — that's where the caffeine and antioxidants come from! Apply under a moisturizer and SPF for a skincare routine that will get you out of bed and feeling refreshed. Sephora Promising review: "I love this product! The texture is nice and stays put on my face, not too watery. It smells gingery to me, which I like. This hasn't caused a single issue with my dry, sensitive skin, and I use it in the mornings a few days a week. I always start the day with extra soft, smooth skin! It makes my skin look and feel better.." — AirmeeFromBKLYN Get it from Sephora for $59. 9. L'Oréal 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar Hair Treatment if it's (unfortunately) a hair-washing day and you're already feeling lazy enough as it is. This works its magic in eight (!!!) seconds to give dull-looking hair a dose of shine and silkiness without requiring much time or effort! Apply this directly to wet hair, avoiding the roots, massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse. Practically NO effort required. You can use one dose for fine- to medium-textured hair, two to three doses for thick- to curly-textured hair, and add one more dose if you have long hair. Promising reviews:"I don't usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c-type hair and struggle a lot with breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn't take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" — Theressa Hailey "Yes, I actually saw this product reviewed on TikTok and had to try it. It is amazing stuff OMGOSH!!! I have already purchased my second bottle. I have a lot of hair and it gets tangled easily this stuff made it soft and manageable after the first use." — Jennifer Borchers Get it from Amazon for $10.97. 10. And a shampoo scalp massager so you can treat yourself to a mini massage while you shower in the morning. Reviewers have raved about it because it helped them with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness. It exfoliates your scalp and gives you the glorious, relaxing feeling of a massage ~without~ the spa fees. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I started using one of these a few months ago and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice." Promising review:"I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they're right and I now swear by it. It's perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don't hesitate." — Z Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (available in three colors). 11. Or a waterless dry shampoo *foam* if you just DON'T have time (or energy) for an "everything" shower. This lets you cancel out the grease and add some volume back to your locks without worrying about having to shake out the residue of your usual powder or spray dry shampoos. Amazon Promising review:"I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It's wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can't go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." — Amelia Tilton Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 12. A NanoSteamer 3-in-1 Facial Steamer — it's just the addition you need for your morning skincare routine! This will enhance it entirely by opening up and unclogging your pores to make sure those pricey creams and serums are truly absorbed into your skin. Plus! It doubles as a humidifier and a towel warmer. The NanoSteamer comes with a five-piece blemish and blackhead extractor kit in addition to the facial steamer to help you really get all the dirt that's stuck in your pores. Promising review:"Worth every penny!!! Perfect for facials and moisture, this steamer is AHHH-MAZING!!! I've gotten into the ritual of doing facials once a week. I used this product while doing a deep cleanse and it worked marvelously!!! The steam blows very well, but you can turn it up a notch by covering your head with a towel to help trap even more moisture. It has different settings including a humidifier setting which has really helped my daughter with her post-nasal issues. The towel warmer is incredible and provides just the right amount of soothing heat! I haven't needed to use the blemish toolkit as of yet, but I'm sure it'll come in handy." — KlassyLadee04 Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in three colors). 13. A ridiculously cozy fleece knitted pajama set for when you've got the luxury of a slow morning — cozy up in this with your English breakfast tea in hand. *Sigh* time to get it in every single color. Promising review:"I've been looking for the 'perfect Sunday lounge set' my must-haves were simple: comfy and could be worn all day without looking like I'm in pajamas! Well, I was beyond impressed by this set! It's soft, lightweight yet warm, and available in so many colors. I already ordered another set as a gift! I'm obsessed!" — Nichole Considine Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 15 colors). 14. A set of shower steamers if you want to take your shower experience to the zen level. These are handmade with essential oils and Epsom salt and come in delightful scents such as lavender, grapefruit, and eucalyptus. To use, just place one shower steamer as close to your head as possible when showering and allow some of the water to hit the steamer. It'll begin to dissolve and release its scent. And bonus! You can also use it as a body scrub. Just hold the shower steamer in your hand and allow some water to be absorbed into it. The steamer will gently fizz and be ready to use as a body or foot scrub so the salt, seeds, and essential oils can exfoliate and moisturize your skin. Lizush is a woman-owned small business in Sacramento, California specializing in all-natural high-quality bath and body products. Promising review:"This was the second time I purchased this shower steamer set. They are great gifts for friends who live in cities with standup showers and no bathtubs. The scents are INCREDIBLE. 5 stars without a doubt." — Shannon Murphy Get a 12-pack from Lizush on Etsy for $42.40+ (originally $53+; available in three styles). 15. Or a eucalyptus bundle because there are few things in life that feel better than being embraced with eucalyptus's fresh, soothing scent. The bundle is infused with essential oils that are released by the steam of your shower and add a tranquil, botanical aesthetic! Until further notice, you'll find me here. Promising review:"I absolutely love the Eucalyptus shower melt! The scent is invigorating and refreshing, creating a spa-like atmosphere in my shower. It's the perfect way to start my day or unwind after a long one. The packaging is simple and elegant, adding a touch of beauty to my shower decor. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to elevate their shower experience." — Shawron Lounds Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in five sizes). 16. A rapid egg cooker that might just become the thing that gets you out of bed in the morning. It can make omelets, poached eggs, eggs Benedict, and scrambled, soft-, *and* hard-boiled eggs. (Six at the same time, might I add!) No need to worry about skipping out on breakfast when you've got your own personal little chef right here. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it. (I like mine medium-boiled. 🍳) If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra oomph to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!" Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I'm testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." — Gina Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors). 17. Or an egg bite maker — beat it, Starbies, the days of long drive-thru lines are OVER (at least on weekdays). This lets you make up to 12 delicious bites in the comfort of your own home! Plus, do you really want to go out to buy them every morning? In this economy?? Nope, this is a real steal. Reviewers also use these for pancake and protein pancake bites! Promising review: "I bought this in hopes to make egg bites similar to Starbucks and I have not been disappointed. I chose this one after reading reviews on the smaller four-bite size. I have used it several times and have had excellent results each time. I followed the recipe in the booklet and used a tip from another reviewer that suggested to triple the cottage cheese amount. It's very easy to use and clean." — April124 Get it from Amazon for $42.05+ (available in three colors). 18. And a microwavable bacon tray with raised ridges that elevate the bacon to distribute the heat evenly and let the fat drip away for that extraaa ~crisp~. 🤤 Plus, the cute lil' piggy design on the splatter lid is a major bonus! Seriously, it might just become the one thing that stops you from hitting that snooze button. Promising reviews: "I am so in love with this bacon cooker that I bought a second one. It fits about five pieces of bacon and cooks them extremely quickly. It takes about four minutes for bacon perfection — crispy but not too crispy that it tastes burnt. I replaced my Nordic Ware microwave bacon cooker with this and am soooo much happier. It even keeps my microwave cleaner than my old bacon cooker also. I bought a second to use for a large family breakfast on the weekend — speeds up the process!" — deborah "Even a vegan loves this item! 🙋♀️ I have a large cabin at the top of the Sierras where I entertain many guests. And most of my guests love bacon with breakfast, or on BLT sandwiches. As a vegan, I abhor dealing with any kind of animal grease. But this tray is so awesome, it cooks the bacon perfectly, every time, and I can prepare bacon to my guests preference, using only short tongs and the tray. The excess grease pours easily into a can for tidy disposal. My guests love the tray because even the kids can cook bacon for a quick sandwich. It can be used for over and over without having to clean between batches. And once done, it cleans really simply in hot soapy water, or the dishwasher. This is one of those well-priced, well-engineered products that works great, and simplifies your life. I am certain you will love it. And the little piggy design makes everybody giggle." — SnowshoePete Get it from Amazon for $13.96. 19. An impossibly plush full-length fleece robe so you have something luxurious and cozy to look forward to as soon as you open your eyes. It's truly the perfect thing to wear while you brew your caffee and make a quick breakfast — then you can transition into that workout 'fit or office ensemble! Go for the hooded style if you want optimal coziness! Prime members: You can try before you buy! Promising review: "This robe is just like what's pictured! It's so soft and comfy, and I love the hood! The material and color are beautiful! If you want something lightweight yet still warm and plush, this robe is great!" — Natasha Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL, in hooded and non-hooded styles, and dozens of colors). 20. A sunset lamp because it can *also* imitate a stunning, Lion King -level sunrise. It's just what you need to create a soothing ambiance as you get an early start to your day. Check out a TikTok of the sunset lamp in action. Promising review:"This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light, but it's not too bright — I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed, and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycle. Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" — amazon customer Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in three styles). 21. A conveniently small but mighty espresso machine perfect for small spaces! It accommodates both coffee and espresso capsules and brews a variety of hot *or* iced lattes and cappuccinos that'll make you feel like you're sippin' in an Italian café. And just FYI! This machine is compatible with L'OR Barista single-serve coffee and espresso capsules *and* Nespresso Original coffee machine capsules. Promising review:"I have had many espresso machines over many years. Three of which I have purchased from Amazon. This one is as good as any and better than most. I have had it for over a month, and it works perfectly. The temperature is just right, as is the brewing process. The capsules are punctured correctly allowing just enough water through. I have not had a single capsule wasted or mangled, as has happened in other machines. I don't write many reviews, but felt compelled to give this one its proper respect. I highly recommend this machine." — ballsomemo Get it from Amazon for $182.60+ (available in eight styles). 22. Or a splurge-worthy Breville Barista espresso machine, which has gone viral for its ability to enrich your entire coffee experience. Amongst its *many* benefits, this machine sports an integrated grinder that turns your beans into espresso in under one minute and a power steam wand that quickly transforms your milk into a silky smooth foam. Get ready to sip on the *perfect* cappuccino or latte. Check out this TikTok to see it in action. To preface my opinion on this espresso machine, I am a *huge* coffee enthusiast. The barista of the family, if you will (not to toot my own horn). I resisted purchasing this machine for YEARS because I never thought the price tag could ever truly be worth it. However, with my NYE resolution of cutting my Starbucks expenses came the dilemma of creating an at-home process that would give me the perfect cup of coffee. So, I finally decided to make the investment in the Breville Barista espresso machine. To summarize, I am now reluctant to have any caffeinated libations that don't come from this thing. It adds so much more creamy richness to your brew. And!! It most definitely pays for itself in the long run. I can't even begin to tell you how much $$$ I've saved on trips to and drinks from the coffee shop (it really does all add up!!). Trust me — once you get the use of it down, you'll never go back. My only regret is that I didn't get it sooner! Promising review:"I chose this maker after extensive research so I could choose the heat of the milk by touch, dialing in taste by preference, and the "hands-on" experience that true cooks love. BEST ESPRESSO, CAPPUCCINO, TEA, BLACK COFFEE I've ever had. Worth 5X the price." — Include the details Get it from Amazon for $699.95 (available in two colors). 23. A thick, moisture-wicking instructional yoga mat that comes printed with 70 different, easy-to-follow yoga poses. Whether you're experienced and want to get a quick morning session in or a beginner who's tired of looking up YouTube videos on where to start, this mat will be your new best friend! Promising review:" This mat has a workout session built right in! I started using the mat and doing ALL of the poses except two that I'm not advanced enough to do and weeks later I have started mastering all of the moves and I am so much stronger. My pack pain is virtually gone. Highly recommend if you are motivated to do the poses." — Patricia L. Purcell Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three colors). 24. A sleek towel warmer because it heats up in just one minute and evenly warms up to three towels at a time. Why? Because you deserve to be wrapped up in cozy warmth when you've finished bathing to get yourself mentally prepared for a demanding day. Promising review: "This was purchased as a gift for my wife. We've been using it regularly for about a month now and really enjoy it. It fits two large bath sheets. I look forward to also using it for bathrobes and throw blankets this winter. It makes any bathroom feel more luxurious. I also love the scented disc that goes in the lid. The aromatherapy makes it feel that much more spa like." — Ryan Harris Get it from Amazon for $106.99+ (available in four sizes and seven colors). 25. A quick-heating Fellow electric kettle for your drip coffee (or tea) because there is truly such beauty in simplicity. Plus, it's as functional as it is chic! Its elegant gooseneck is designed for a slow, even pour, and its temperature settings let you dictate exactly how warm you want your water to be. All there's left to do is sit back, sip your morning fix, and conclude that this kettle makes you better than everyone else. Fellow Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and having to heat it up again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." — Emily A. Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in eight colors and styles) or from Amazon for $195+ (available in three styles). 26. And a pretty pastel mug warmer as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. If you've once again gotten too busy answering a tidal wave of emails and are tired of reheating your coffee three to four times every morning, this will be your new best friend. Amazon Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." — hottytoddy Get it from Amazon for $15.17+ (available in nine colors). 27. A set of hair spin pins because they claim to do the work of 20 bobby pins and help you create a quick and easy updo for those busy mornings when you're on your way out and just need your hair OUT of your face. To use, just gather your hair and twist it into a tight bun (no hair tie needed!), tuck in the ends, and spin the pins into the edges of your bun. Promising review: "When even a ponytail won't do and a hat isn't socially acceptable, pull out the spin pins. These are easy to carry in your purse for emergency hair days. They twist together/around each other so they stay kind of bundled together, and I keep them with several regular bobby pins to keep stray hairs tucked together. I find the minis are far more comfortable to wear as well as easier to get in the hair. You will still need a few pins to secure some random loose hairs if a PERFECT bun is your goal. But if you are like me and most days you just need your hair out of your face and off your neck, these are excellent since the bun stays put. Works beautifully under scrub caps as well." — Blondiechick Get a pack of three on Amazon for $7.99 (also available in as a pack of two). 28. A daily planner that's so adorably organized, you'll want to keep sneaking a peek at what your day is gonna look like. It helps you track your calls, goals, water intake, and even has a gratitude reminder section! Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a small, family-owned business based in Sussex, Wisconsin. Promising review:"I can't think of a better 'top of the morning' expression than 'You've Got This!' That got my attention. Love the visual clock graphic too. I use a weekly planner and having daily pages available as needed are great. The layout is useful, not excessively detailed while still including all the important sections. It's aesthetically pleasing." — Wynelle Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes and 14 styles). 29. Or an undated habit calendar here to offer you the guidance you need to finally reach those goals you've been looking to achieve. It includes 12 months worth of tracking strategies for daily, weekly, and monthly goals, and even has a lil' brainstorm section that helps you think about things you might want to track, like your budget and sleep patterns. Amazon Promising review:" I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I've always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I'd been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some 'homework' pages at the beginning to help you focus in on your goals, but mostly it's the cleanness and ready-to-go nature of the monthly calendar pages that have worked for me. It's helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus so I'm not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend. Another friend saw me using it and also made a purchase. I'm really happy I made the leap." — Flight of Stars Get it from Amazon for $24. 30. A NodPod because the best mornings start with a good night's sleep. This weighted sleep mask gets you as close as possible to feeling like you're in a sensory deprivation tank and offers gentle, evenly distributed pressure and a light- and sound-blocking experience that'll have you drifting off into a restful sleep in the blink of an eye. Amazon Nodpod is a female-founded small business that specializes in these sleep masks. Promising review:" There's something about placing this weighted thing on my eyes when I'm tossing and turning that lulls me back to sleep. The shape of it is a bit weird — it's not a typical eye mask, it's much bulkier and doesn't fasten on in the same way — but once you get beyond that, this can really be a beautiful thing. I keep it on my bedside table and use it if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep (which happens often) or once the sun rises, and I want to sleep in a little more. If you have sleep issues, I'd recommend trying this novel product." — Veronicam Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in six colors). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

If You Most Relate To Sleepy From "Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs," You'll Probably Want One Of These 39 Things
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 · Better to be Sleepy than Grumpy, I suppose. 1. An alarm clock on wheels you'll quickly develop a complicated relationship with — it'll roll around, jump, shake, make robotic sounds and essentially just annoy you until you *finally* have to get out of bed, tackle it, and start your day. Clocky is a small business! Promising review:"My friends and family all know how terrible I am at waking up in the morning. Every alarm clock I have ever used has been defeated by my quick 'hit snooze button' reflexes. So much so that I find myself rushing for the door more often than I'd like. All that changed when I found Clocky. CLOCKY WORKS! Clocky moves, so I can't get comfortable or used to where the snooze button is placed. I easily carry Clocky to any room in the house I choose to get cozy, relax, and watch some TV 'til I fall asleep on a work night. I LOVE CLOCKY and highly recommend giving it a chance because you will fall in love with the results. I am now actively waking up at the original time I set my alarm to and also staying up so I can have a productive day. Get Clocky and save your day! ☆☆☆☆☆" — Valued Customer Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in nine colors). 2. A travel neck pillow, eye mask, and earplugs set so even if you're jet-setting halfway across the country you can still stay on top of your sleep game. Reading lights, the couple arguing behind you, and uncomfy neck pain can take A SEAT! Promising review:" With the MLVOC travel pillow, I was finally able to get some sleep on several recent flights. The pillow firmly but gently holds your neck and head in a comfortable position. I had no neck soreness after using it. My spouse said it also reduced my snoring. It's a little tough to get back into the carry bag, but worth the effort." — Pamela Sullivan Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in five styles). 3. A weighted eye mask to give your tired eyes the relaxing treat they deserve after a long day of staring at a medium screen, then unwinding with a tiny screen while *also* looking at a big screen. Sweet dreams, eyeballs. You've earned a break. 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 Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sets). 4. Breathe Right nasal strips your partner will thank the heavens for, especially if you're as tired as Post Malone's tattoos say he is. These handy strips increase nasal airflow to help prevent snoring and relieve congestion. 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 $10.79. 5. A plush heart-shaped throw pillow you can count on to happily join you for nap time. Remember Taylor Swift's sadly cancelled Lover Fest? Well, with a plethora of these babies, you can host your own all the time! Amazon Promising review:"I love this pink heart pillow. It is very soft and the perfect size. The quality is great and great value for the money." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 6. A breathtaking essential oil diffuser that'll make you feel like you're unwinding in a fancy spa before bed when, in reality, it's just you, your cat, and your noisy neighbors arguing upstairs again. But, hey, at least your nostrils will by nicely hydrated and filled with a soothing scent! Note: According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems Promising review: "This diffuser is sooo pretty! I love how expensive it looks and the changing of lights are so fun! It works well with any essential oil. Happy with purchase." — Allex Baron Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available with a dark or light wood base; be sure to clip the $9 off coupon when applicable). 7. A dog bark deterrent device that'll play a sound only dogs can hear with their too-cute ears to encourage them to shhhhhh for a little longer so you can catch some Zzzs. It's completely painless and reviewers applaud it as a better alternative to shock collars. Promising review: "This dog bark deterrent remote is an amazing option for getting your pup or even older dog trained to stop barking. It is a safer option than electric fences or shock collars. I have two Australian Shepards, a Husky, and an emotional support 'Shorkie.' All four of my dogs range from 6 months to 5 years — shock collars wouldn't range out with our big yard, and electric fences weren't an option with my small children, so this has been amazing. It makes a loud sound at different volumes. It ranges very far, and no shock for discomfort. The brightness is awesome. Great price and lightweight, compact enough to fit in your pocket with an attached wristlet." — Mallory S. Smith Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 8. And a "Nap Guardian" doorbell cover to, quietly, let the world you need some, well, quiet! Parents, pet owners, and sleep enthusiasts are obsessed with this simple solution. Shut-eye for all. 💤 Nap Guardian is a small business that specializes in doorbell covers for home use. Check out a TikTok of the doorbell cover in action. Promising review:"This is well-made and very easy to apply. I have it on my Ring doorbell camera, and it keeps delivery people from ringing my doorbell very well. It also does not obstruct my view or notifications for my Ring doorbell camera. Great for when taking a nap!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 9. Lawless's "Forget The Filler" in a variety of delectable flavors (birthday cake!!!) — it'll hydrate your lips overnight (similar to Laneige's repairing sleep mask) and make your pout fuller while you get some literal beauty sleep. It's made of shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and a stimulating peptide complex that'll work so magically together you won't ever want to run out. Promising review: "Really makes a difference. First overnight treatment I've used where my lips genuinely feel hydrated and plumper in the morning. I'm pleasantly surprised — I bought this on a whim after a rec from The Strategist and almost canceled the order. Now I use it every night!" — Hilary Get it from Amazon $22 (available in four flavors). 10. A Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask that'll work harder than Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey mining diamonds. Apply it before you hit the hay to reap the benefits (firmer skin, more elasticity, minimized pores) while you dream. Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. 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 set of four from Amazon for $19. 11. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara with a lightweight tubing technology that'll magically wrap around your lashes and make your eyes pop in no time at all — so you can continue to hit snooze and get as much shut-eye as possible. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan with a capital F: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 12. SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it'll reduce the under-eye circles and puffiness you're prone to having if "Sleepy" is your middle name, but you're simply not catching enough Zzzs these days. A big shout out to the glacial waters it's formulated with, amiright? Promising reviews:"I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." — Ben Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 13. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream that'll become your most cherished beauty product — it'll help you out whether your under-eye bags are courtesy of your nocturnal infant or you drank a cup of coffee too late in the day when you couldn't stop yawning during your afternoon meeting. Promising review:"I have a newborn so I don't sleep enough or drink enough water. I was really starting to notice the effects under my eyes. I had dark bags and just looked tired. I put this eye cream on at night with my normal lotion and noticed a big difference in the darkness under my eyes the next morning. Now after I have applied it for a few days p.m. and a.m., my dark circles and bags are almost gone. I may not feel rested but at least I'll look it!" — Jamie Moore Get it from Amazon for $14.44. 14. A Samnyte Hair Wax Stick to successfully banish your flyaways each morning as you're getting ready to head out the door — you and I both know you were trying to spend every last minute under the Sandman's spell instead of doing your hair. Promising review:"The Samnyte Hair Wax Stick is amazing! It works wonders for taming flyaways and smoothing my hair without weighing it down. It's easy to apply and gives my hair a neat, polished look. Plus, it's nourishing, so it doesn't dry out my hair. Perfect for creating sleek styles, like buns or ponytails. Definitely a staple in my hair care routine!" — Julia Get it from Amazon for $7.59. 15. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner because you're forever tired and would much rather take a power nap than scrub your shower — seriously, you just spray this on your *already* clean shower, leave it for the day, then rinse it off. Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring on the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing), and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance and ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 16. A tufted electric blanket with a cable knit design that'll give it a bit more *~style~* than standard heated throws. It'll keep you warm (of course) but also safe as it has a feature that automatically detects if the wires inside are overheating. Promising review:"This electric blanket is awesome! It's super soft, heats up fast, and keeps me cozy. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable and comfy electric blanket." — Sherry Brown Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in five sizes and colors). 17. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" any sleep aficionado should have on hand to prevent their drinks from spilling all over their phone when they fall asleep next to it — it has not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIIIIIIIVE cup holder spots available! Amazon Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review:"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors). 18. And a Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle featuring a *genius* design — it has a metal straw inside and silicone on top for drinking comfort that seamlessly locks in place so you'll never find yourself drenched if you accidentally knock it off your nightstand in your sleep. It'll also keep your drinks cold for 24 hours, so you'll be immediately refreshed if you wake up parched from a long slumber. This bottle is BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer' s go-to, "It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours! The tapered base is also cupholder friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist, and throw it sideways in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all!" Promising review: "This BrüMate tumbler is fantastic! It's 100% leakproof, keeps drinks cold for hours, and the handle and straw make it super convenient to carry. The color looks great, and it fits perfectly in cup holders. Plus, it's made of stainless steel, so it's durable and easy to clean. Perfect for staying hydrated on the go!" — Jorge Isaac Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in 18 colors). 19. Satin pillowcases that are said to help prevent hair breakage and breakouts on your face — not to mention they'll make you feel like you're living in the lap of luxury the second your head hits the pillow each night. Reviewers can't get enough of this set for their price tag and high quality. (Seriously, they have over 217,000 5-star ratings!) Amazon Promising review:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 35 colors and four sizes). 20. And silk pajamas, because if sleeping is your favorite hobby you might as well do it in style. These lightweight beauties will likely become your all-time-favorite PJs, so your bank account better prepare themselves for all those upcoming orders. Amazon Promising review:"These are the best pajamas I've ever purchased. I'm completely hooked. The quality is amazing and they're super comfortable. I will be ordering all the other colors." — Mandie Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 10 colors). 21. A popular pair of criss-cross faux fur slippers to step into when you've finally relented to getting up for some sustenance after you've spent your entire morning lazily lounging in bed. Reviewers adore them for their open-toe design (no overheating tootsies for you!) as well as their waterproof, anti-slip soles (in case you need to run outside for a sec). Promising review: "I hate my feet being hot. There are sooo comfy, yet warm and let my toes breathe. Slipping into luxury. Wish I could buy three more! Highly recommend." — Amber Rose Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 16 colors). 22. A pair of horizontal glasses that'll finally make it possible for you to evolve into your truest form: a slug who takes great joy in lying down to watch TV and read. I both applaud and support you. 👏 Promising review:"I saw these on a couple of TikTok videos and immediately bought them. They are literally the best thing I've ever bought. I was scared they wouldn't fit over my glasses but they do just fine. I use them to read, watch TV, and scroll through my social media all while lying down. Such a great buy!" — Kivy Get them from Amazon for $12.58. 23. A Grosche moka pot, aka a stove top espresso maker, so you can craft delectable lattes (and other fancier bevs) without venturing into the world. It's simple to use (phew, not like a manual espresso machine) and comes in various fabulous shades. Check it out on TikTok! The reviewer demonstrates how they use it on the stove for making espresso for their lattes. Promising review: "Greatest purchase in the last five years!!! I have always been a coffee drinker but I recently purchased a moka pot to make iced espressos during the summer. Quickly it became an everyday thing! I love this moka pot more than any other item in my kitchen other than my actual coffee pot brewer! I had bought a cheap one elsewhere and that lasted about three weeks before falling apart. I spent a little more money for a quality product and have never looked back! I recommend this particular moka pot as it was slightly more than the cheap ones but less than some of the bigger name brands. It has lasted me two and a half years now without ever giving me a problem. Definitely a customer for life." — A. Arvy Get it from Amazon for $31.62+ (available in 11 colors and four sizes). 24. A mug warmer in case you often brew yourself a cup of tea, climb back into bed, and accidentally drift back into Dreamland — this lil' gadget won't take up much room at all and will ensure that your drink remains at the perfect temperature when you come back to Land of the Living. Promising review: "It's so nice to work on the computer and reach for the coffee ☕️ and it's still hot or warm your choice. Great buy." — Chip Wood Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 25. A set of light-dimming stickers that'll take your gadgets and gizmos down a peg in the obnoxious department and help you get some quality sleep without the interference of annoying lights. Promising review: "Who knew such a simple little thing would actually help you sleep better? Works just as advertised. No more annoying lights to keep me up at night!" — Margo A. Castorena Get a set from Amazon for $8.99. 26. A light-blocking tent that'll seem like a joke until you break it out and drift off to sleep seamlessly without even noticing your partner still has the TV on. Promising review:"I was searching for some blackout curtains until I came across this gem. I was skeptical at first because it was a small tent over my head; I was worried ventilation would be an issue, but I decided to give it a shot and purchased it. Upon receiving zDen I notice the material is soft but breathable. I tried it the first night. It was nice. I slept longer and uninterrupted. I tried sleeping without it after the third night. It took a little longer to sleep, even without it, and I was waking up two hours earlier because of the summer sunrise. After going back to using zDen, I was slowly going back to reaching 7.5 hours of interrupted sleep. I felt more energy waking up." — woodchuck56 Get it from Amazon for $94.97. 27. A set of three flameless flickering candles you can control with a remote, perfect for anyone who is prone to dozing off while watching a movie on a Friday night. Cozy ambiance? Check. Zero chance of setting your curtains a flame? Check, check. Check out a TikTok of the flameless candles in action. Promising review: "I bought the gold glass candle set. It's almost iridescent gold and looks very elegant. The flame actually moves back and forth. I have mine set to come on in the evening and go off after four hours. The remote allows you to control the brightness of the candle, set a timer for auto on and off, and you can control how bright you want the actual candle inside the glass. I love them and plan to buy the gray glass set for my bedroom. Buy them, you will love them!" — Tammy B. Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six styles). 28. An electric heated mattress pad you better believe will become your most-used item this winter — who wouldn't want to feel like a freshly toasted marshmallow??? It comes with a memory timer and 10 heat settings, ideal for when you doze off while in your cozy bubble, and it boasts dual settings so you and your partner can *each* set your side of the bed to the perfect temp. Amazon Promising review: "I like all the things about this bed warmer. I had one in the past and got rid of it because we could feel the wires as we laid on them. Not this one. It works well. Just need to figure out what number setting I want. I also really like the timer setting since I often freeze as I go to sleep and then boil half way through the night. But not anymore!! :)" — Fairmaiden Get it from Amazon for $55.96+ (available in twin– California king sizing). 29. A duvet cover set complete with one cover and two shams that'll make you feel like a sergeant of the Sleepy Squad when you turn down your bed and climb on in for the night. Promising review:"I've ordered two in different shades. This duvet is absolutely amazing for the price. This is my second one, like the one before VERY SOFT and feels like high end, breathable not too heavy, but warm as well. Definitely will be purchasing more in different colors." — hanna bates Get it from Amazon for $21.59+ (available in 40 colors and in twin, full, queen, king, and California king sizing). 30. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because, if we're being honest (and I like to think we've reached a point in our relationship where we can be blunt), the ones you've been sleeping on are starting to resemble Flat Stanley. It's time for you to upgrade your sleeping situation, friend! Promising review:"I purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" — T. Rune Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing). 31. And bamboo bed sheets made with a material even the hottest of sleepers have praised for keeping them as cool as the other side of the pillow. OK maybe not in those exact words, but you get my point. Promising review:" If you have night sweats, you need to buy these sheets. I do and I bought a set. Oh my, I just love them. Not only are they soft, but they also seem to be cooling too. No more night sweats for me." — Linda Leynes Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes twin–Cal. king and in 22 colors). 32. A chunky knit chenille blanket to bury yourself under because it's simply that time of year — it comes in so many colors you'll absolutely be able to snag one that matches your room's vibe. It's also hypoallergenic *and* machine washable! Samiah Luxe is a small business! Promising review:"Love this look. Makes the room look & feel cozy. But then the blanket ACTUALLY is cozy! Super soft. Heavy. Warm. Worth the money." — Tracy W. Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). 33. And/or an extra-large blanket everyone in your home can pile under when Mother Nature decides none of you should venture outdoors that day — dare I suggest throwing on Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs? Amazon It's made from a temperature-regulating blend of polyester and spandex, making it softer than sherpa and fleece blankets while keeping you cozy yet cool! Big Blanket Co. is a small business specializing in selling the world's largest blankets for the ultimate cozy setup in your home. Promising review:"I instantly fell in love with this blanket. I was hesitant to purchase at first with the price but I'm so glad I did. It's super soft, has just enough weight to it that it makes it soothing, and is surprisingly cool to sleep with. It doesn't get really hot like some of my other blankets do. The huge size is also a bonus, as I love hogging blankets all to myself." — Lindsey B. Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in 11 styles and two sizes). 34. A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process. Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" — Linda Holloway Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in seven styles). 35. A 3-in-1 convertible "reading chair" that'll seem like it was conjured up by your personal Fairy Godmother — it has a spot to charge your phone, a cup holder, a side pocket to keep your odds 'n' ends in, and pulls out into a full sleeper bed. There's even hidden storage at the bottom you can fill with a super cozy throw blanket and extra pillows! Amazon, Check out a TikTok of the reading chair in action. Promising review:"Amazing reading chair/lounger. If you're one of those people who needs to change positions often while reading, this chair is the bomb. I leave a charging cord in the arm for my phone and headphones, slide out the foot, and grab whatever book I chucked under there. I can lay down, recline, sit straight, etc. with ease. The foot stool part, being collapsible and held up with thin bars, did kind of sink a little after awhile but nothing that makes the chair feel broken or look lopsided. It's a solid little guy and I plan on picking another one up eventually for another room I like to read in." — Calvin Andrews Get it from Amazon for $249.99+ (available in seven colors). 36. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo is benzene-free, comes in five hair colors, and will be your savior when, oops, you've overslept again before work. Sleepyhead? Certainly not you!!! The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush. Promising review: "This stuff works better than Batiste at absorbing oil. I have very wavy, fine, greasy hair and I can go an additional day without washing it now." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18. 37. A mason jar cold brew maker if you're a proud member of the Drinking-iced-coffee-all-year Club (here, here!) Plus, it'll be ready and waiting when you finally roll out of bed. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories. Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and colors). 38. A robotic vacuum, because you and I both know you don't want to spend precious could-be-sleeping time trying to conquer all of the pet hair, debris, and other unexplainable messes that have found their way into your home. Turn it on, pull down your sleep mask, and this lil' gadget do its thing. This robo vac can easily move between hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpets/rugs and can pick up all the accumulated dust, dirt, and hair while you go about your day. It has an infrared sensor to avoid knocking into obstacles (like furniture and walls) and drop-sensing tech so it won't fall down stairs and off ledges. And if it starts to run low on battery, it'll just return to its base for a recharge! Reviewers recommend keeping stray items like socks and cords off the floor before running this. Promising review:"This robot vacuum is incredible! I have three dogs and a cat; this vacuum is a time saver. I run it each day, and it has done an incredible job of keeping pet hair, dirt, and debris picked up in my home. Works well on carpet, hardwood, and tile floors. Wish I had purchased it sooner!" — t. hampton Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (also available in a model with home mapping). 39. And, of course, an oversize graphic tee with Sleepy's face on it to wear to bed in honor of the Disney character you relate to the most. What's that? Oh, sorry, I must've dozed off there for a sec. 😴 Amazon Promising review:"Great fit and fabric!" — Captain H. Cody Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in men's sizes S–3XL, 2X Tall–6X Tall, women's sizes XS–3XL, 1X-3X, and youth sizes 2T–4T, XS–L).
