Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · A satin-lined beanie, portable car vacuum, toilet target light, and 54 other products you don't *need* (except you do). 1. A sinfully silky satin-lined beanie that'll keep your noggin warm *without* drying out and damaging your hair. This'll save you from forcing yourself to keep your hat on in heated homes when you don't want folks seeing your bed head-esque hat hair. Whew. Promising review:"This beanie is perfect for curly and wavy girls! The entire inside is satin-lined. When I took the hat off it did not cause any damaged or frizzy curls! I am in love and need more colors!" — Crystal Ingram Get it from Amazon $13.99+ (available in seven colors). 2. A handy portable car vacuum so you can clean your car without the extra effort of bringing your vacuum outside. (Because honestly, when do we ever actually do that?) It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle! Promising review:"Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October, my husband and I went to the ocean, and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" — Julia Bright Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in two colors and in a cordless or corded version). 3. The Car Seat Key for parents and guardians who have had one too many manicures ruined by car seat clips. This makes buckling and unbuckling your little one *super* easy and it even hooks onto your keychain so you've always got it with you when getting in the car. Promising review:"After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I'd have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! LOL, if you've been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It's worth it!" — Tora318 Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 10 colors). 4. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit so you can prep (and cleanup!) in no time at all. The interchangeable blades just pop out and then you can pop them right into the dishwasher! 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 $29.97+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save $3; available in four styles). 5. A 2-in-1 hair bun maker that'll help make all of those beautiful bun hairstyles on your Pinterest board come to life! You can even use it while your hair is damp and enjoy some effortless waves when you take it out! Curlinator Designs / Etsy Curlinator Designs is a North Carolina-based small family biz that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review: "Love it!!! I was concerned I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it, but videos make understanding simple. So much easier to use in the mornings than fixing your hair in a bun!!!" — bld9 Get it from Curlinator Designs on Etsy for $12.75 (available in 18 colors). 6. A soothing behavioral aid toy with a faux heartbeat — this is sure to be your puppy's ~dream~ toy and help *you* finally get to sleep while crate training. Promising review:"My partner and I recently got a 4-month-old Italian greyhound puppy and this has been great. We slept with the stuffed animal a few nights before picking up our puppy and placed it in his crate before he arrived. After playing with us and exploring his new home he walked into his crate and curled up against it and went right to sleep. He slept right through the first night with no issue. Today is week two and the batteries are still going strong. I plan on buying one for my sister who will be getting a puppy in the next few months. This is cute and functional." — Jeb Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in eight colors). 7. A bulb changer so you can change the lightbulb in your ceiling without needing to buy a ladder along with new bulbs. It has grippy rubber strips to securely grab the bulb while you twist the pole to unscrew it, and it even has helpful leveling stoppers so the bulb stays in place while you're screwing a new one in! Just so you know, this is only the gripper tool — not the pole. If you need the pole, you can select that style in the listing. Promising reviews: " If you read the description, they claim this product to be over-engineered and well-built. Let me tell you, they are very correct! We have a banquet center with 135 can lights in a 14-foot ceiling. It is a pain to change them. I've used many pole changers in the past, and they all were fairly effective but poorly built and had limitations. This unit is incredible!" — Brad Q. "We have 10-foot ceilings, and one of our overhead floodlights was starting to blink on and off. I have an 8-foot ladder but rather than hauling that into the house and climbing up on it, I got online to see what I could find. I had an old 10-foot car wash pole, and that worked perfectly with the bulb changer — so much easier than the hassle of a ladder. After replacing my bad light, I then wondered about changing my stairway light 16 feet up from the stairs landing. Luckily, we had bought a second-story window-washing kit a couple of months ago, which included a four-piece extending pole, so I thought I would try that out and see how it would be. It's a little tricky holding steady that high up, but when the need arises, I think it'll work just fine. So all-in-all, I'm quite happy with this, and it'll make a great tool to keep stored away waiting for the next light bulb failure." — Patrick Get it from Amazon for $19.83+ (available in three styles and with the pole). 8. A versatile bag clip to treat your Gucci with the love and respect it deserves — keep it off of sticky floors and bathroom tile! Promising review:"I have a very heavy, large purse that is a bottomless pit. One time I put my purse on the back of my chair at a cafe and the whole chair flipped over, that is how heavy my bag is. I was looking for something so I could hook my purse on things so it wasn't sitting on the floor and was more accessible. I love this little gadget. I have used it on everything from bathroom stalls to tables to grocery carts. This thing really grips. All of my girlfriends love it and have gotten it for themselves." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in nine colors). 9. A spice-organizing drawer liner you can cut to fit inside your kitchen drawers, making room for over 30 spice jars! Now to sort them in alphabetical Hot. Promising review:"We just moved into a new home, and I needed a way to store spices in a drawer. This product is exactly what I was looking for. It fits beautifully in my drawer, but I love that the strips can be cut for a custom fit. I shopped around for other in-drawer spice organizers, but I would have had to purchase separate jars and transfer the spices. No thanks. This product works with the jars and containers just as they come from the store — no need to purchase special jars. It holds large and small round jars, square containers, and oversized spices. The quality is outstanding. I'm very happy with my purchase!" — EPD611 Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two widths). 10. A toilet target light with a motion sensor and clear projection — this is sure to make potty training a bright spot in your child's life. To apply, simply clean the area with an alcohol wipe before attaching the light. Take the sticker off the back and press firmly against the lid for 90 seconds. That's it! Batteries are included. Promising review:"I got this thinking 'Dear lord I hope this works. If I drop my pants in pee again or have to scrub another wall I am going to go insane!' I thought the price was a bit much but it is okay now that I now it works! I don't know why people are saying theirs don't stay on. I'm truly hoping they cleaned the area first... but anyways. All I did was clean the surface of the lid with some rubbing alcohol and stuck this light on, like it said to do. My husband and son are in and out of the bathroom several times a day. Slamming the lid closed. Lights on and off all the time. This still lights up bright as ever and it's going on three weeks. Now when I sit I sometimes might lean back into it but it's really not an issue. I'm just overwhelmed with joy because this target works and I do not have to scrub any extra walls, floors, or pants!!! You better believe I'm getting one for every darn bathroom in my house!!!" — NoRestForTheWicked Get it from Amazon for $34.88. 11. A set of fiberglass chopsticks that are dishwasher-safe and made with a no-slip design — these'll help you easily eat noodles without tasty bites slipping and sliding before they make it into your mouth. Amazon These also work great with hot foods, i.e. they won't get too hot when hanging out in a steaming bowl of broth. Promising review:"This is a quality set of chopsticks! The fiberglass is heavier than standard wood ones (obviously), but they are still easy to use. They don't feel that heavy in the hand. The tips are textured slightly for a better grip on food; this is really great with noodles. The top has a pretty design. I haven't had them very long, but they seem durable and relatively scratch resistant. They clean easily with soap and warm water (they're also dishwasher-friendly). I was looking for an affordable, re-useable set and originally considering stainless steel ones. But based on a number of reviews stating that the material on some wasn't true stainless steel, or they're too heavy, or they get too hot if left in a bowl, I ultimately went with this set. I'm very glad I did!" — nhcabin Get a box of 10 pairs from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors). 12. A bagel guillotine which, despite its delightfully dreadful name, is just about the safest way you could ever slice a bagel. Grab this to help your kids make breakfast without the fear of losing a digit. Promising review:"I picked this up because my heart could no longer take the stress of watching our 11-year-old slice bagels (while multitasking with screens and whatnot) with a serrated bread knife. I was going to have a heart attack and she was going to slice into her hand so...I had high hopes and, regardless of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, some concerns about how well this would work. My concerns were unwarranted. This not-so-little little device slices through every single bagel, every single time (and my kid goes through kicks where she'll eat two or three each day). I no longer worry about serious cuts even though the (covered) blade on this thing is SHARP! Only word of advice, like other reviewers, slice (press down) slowly so as not to squash softer bagels. Additionally, this thing slices so cleanly that there are no crumbs to speak of. I'm quite happy with this purchase. This thing now has a permanent place next to the toaster on our counter. I highly recommend it." — Christopher RS Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three colors). 13. A pack of Spin Pins capable of holding your hair tight no matter how much you move, saving you from constantly readjusting your 'do throughout the day. One of these coils is as strong as 20 (!) standard hair pins. Bad hair days are officially extinct. Promising review:"I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust can." — Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.82+ (available in two styles). 14. A pack of Elephant Trax labels to make storing (and finding!) things you've packed easier than ever. Attach a sticker to the box, take photos of everything inside, and you're all set! You now have a visual inventory! Never confuse your Halloween and Christmas storage again. The Nightmare Before Christmas vibe isn't really your thing anyway. Promising review: "I am so glad I ordered an extra pack of these. My goal for January was to organize the basement. I have TONS of plastic bins and whenever I need something, I have to open each to find what I'm looking for. I took a few hours the first weekend cleaning out and organizing everything and the bins. I took pictures of the contents of each bin, put one of these stickers on each bin then associated the pics with the sticker's QR code and voila, done. IF YOU LIKE TO BE ORGANIZED, GET THESE STICKERS!" — Fred Labro Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three pack sizes). 15. A sleep-training alarm clock that'll make rule-following seem positively perky! This'll display darling tiny robot facial expressions and glowing colors to let your kids know when it's time to sleep and when it's okay to get up the parents. Amazon Promising review:"This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 :( and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we're amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it's fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don't let this stop you from getting it though, it was worth every penny!" — JW Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors). 16. A touchless paper towel dispenser — reviewers rave about how much less messy this makes grabbing a paper towel when they're covered in cake batter, sauce, and such. If you're looking to add a useful, futuristic touch to your classic farmhouse kitchen, look no further than this! Check out a TikTok of the touchless paper towel dispenser in action. Bonus: if you don't grab the paper towel, it sucks it back up for safekeeping! Promising review: "Do we need it? No. But it might be my favorite unnecessary gadget purchase of all time. It leaves our counter tops uncluttered, the no touch sensor lets me grab a paper towel with dirty hands, and I feel like we use less paper towels overall. It's easy to install, easy to program, and easy to replace the roll." — Mlc Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors). 17. A wooden bread box so stunning you may feel like the owner of a boulangerie every time you reach for a slice of bread. And it's not just serving up good looks! The plexiglass windows will help you know what bread you have at the ready. I've wasted more than one loaf of bread by hiding it in a concealed bread box and forgetting about it. be buying this. I thought it was impossible to forget about YET. Promising review:"LOVE!! Bread has to be transported frozen to our town. Because of this, our bread gets super moist, molds quickly, and even gets soggy inside the bag before using it. This bread box really helps! Now, I have DRY STORAGE for my bread and it doesn't mold within a few days of buying it. This works great and looks great! Nice to have an organized place for all my bread loaves." — AkLiz2011 Get it from Amazon for $67.95+ (available in four colors). 18. A self-closing, mess-free toothpaste cap to help save toothpaste in your household even if your kids are rather enthusiastic when squeezing goop from the tube. Plus, this prevents crusty toothpaste buildup! Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." — Kimberly C. Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.45+ (available in seven styles/quantities). 19. A "Shower Cat" that'll be a hit with folks who spend half their time in the shower making hair art on the walls, which inevitably ends up clogging the drain. TMI? This makes catching your hair *much* easier and gives it a proper place while you finish sudsing up. Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs. Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn't want to be how I used to be, where I'd just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don't stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." — Cari Schwartzkopf Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in two colors). 20. An OXO diaper wipes dispenser sure to be a beloved addition to your changing station. The one-press opening and weighted interior means you can grab wipes with one hand, which is unnervingly necessary when your baby's favorite time to wiggle around is on top of the dresser while being changed. This does everything it claims, and makes changing so much easier than it could be. It fits large packages of wipes and really does work with one hand. Out of all the changing tools I use, this is the one I recommend the most. Promising review:"This is easily one of my favorite baby products! Trust me, take the wipes out of the original package and put them in here. THEY WILL NOT DRY OUT! I've even left it open accidentally for a few hours, and the wipes did not dry out. The weight on top makes it so easy to pull out one wipe at a time. The best part is: you can do everything one-handed! Super necessary when you have a blowout or just a wiggly baby." – Lisa Morrison Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in two colors). 21. A pair of LED collars you can toss on your dog, giving you some peace of mind while walking around at night. This thing is especially useful if you play fetch with your dog when it's dark or if they love running around your large yard at night. Promising review:"I live rural and we have occasional coyotes and some pretty big owls. Bella is not a big dog and I have to see her when she's out in my fenced yard. It's a big yard and I can see her very well with this. I only put it on her at night, sometimes she won't even go out without it on. You can cut it so it slips over a dog's head and it's very convenient. They charge fast and they last a long time. I recommend them. I find that the green is the brightest." — Nancy636 Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 22. An electric can opener/knife sharpener — if you're into cooking with canned goods, this *treasure* deserves a spot of honor on your counter.

Also the color is perfect!" — Jennifer Cooley Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in 12 colors). 23.

Amazon There's a storage compartment you can remove that'll hold all the debris your kiddo picks up. When they find out they are ALLOWED to tear paper into tiny pieces and then make that paper disaster? That'll entertain them for ages! Promising review:"Our son is absolutely obsessed with our Dyson (the real one), which is why we purchased this toy Dyson vacuum for his birthday. He's 2 years old, and he is really enjoying having his on 'working' vacuum cleaner!!! He seriously plays with it for hours during the day. Turning it on and off and pushing it through the house just like we use our real vacuum. I would buy this again! It was his favorite gift!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors). 24. A pair of toast tongs to make sure you don't burn even a little rab bit of your fingies when your toast pops up from the toaster — no matter how impatient you are when it's breakfast time. Promising review:"These are the cutest toast tongs! They are nicely crafted and the long-eared bunny design is adorable. Perfect tongs for my toaster and waffle iron. It stands by itself as a little, functional piece of art, and won't get lost in the utensil drawer like my old boring tongs. The packaging is also nice and makes this really giftable, so I'll be ordering more as gifts for sure." — Tuzi Get it from Amazon for $9.95. 25. A milk frother for coffee connoisseurs who have ~bean~ wanting a tool that creates a rich, creamy froth for their daily drinks.

Promising review:"It worked on myself and wife to brighten both our teeth!!! I was hesitant as a lot of the products out there do not seem to work as advertised but this one definitely does and is reasonably priced! If you are on the fence about it ,like I was, I highly recommend it =). One very happy costumer and most likely returning!!" — Kyle Books Get it from Amazon for $38.95 (clip the coupon on the product page to save 10%). 28.

Exactly what I was looking for." — Amy Margolis Get a set of four from Brighttia on Etsy for $18.38+ (available in 12 colors). 31. An LED flat plate is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you. Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors). 32.

Voila, the bug is sucked into a plastic chamber in a microsecond, out of your life for all practical purposes. The bug isn't even injured, just confined, so if you're feeling tenderhearted, you can take it outdoors and release it. The bug cannot escape, even if you use the BugZooka again immediately.

The BugZooka is about two feet long, so you don't even have to get close to your insect victim." — Calli Get it from Amazon for $35. 33.

It arrived quickly and securely packaged. The vase is really cool, the glass portion is very sturdy, and the metal portion of the vase seems very strong. It takes a little bit of strength to raise and lower the metal portion. The brass is very light and looks closer to a brushed gold. The recipient was very happy with her gift! 10/10!" — Alexa Clark Get it from Amazon for $24. 38. A Sriracha keychain sure to spice up your Amazon It comes empty, so don't forget to fill it up!

Promising review: "First time I have ever been moved to write a review on Amazon but this is the single most amazing product if you sleep hot! This thing WORKS and it is saving my life! It only took a NASA engineer to solve my propensity to burst into to flames every night at 2 a.m.!" — Matthes Get it from Amazon for $499+ (available in two styles or just the bed sheets). 40. A roll of faux ivy — attach this to wire fencing, a railing, or a trellis to add a lush look to your yard *while* providing a real amount of privacy. This is sure to be great if you love dinners outdoors but would rather not be bothered by the next door neighbors, or if you'd prefer not to find out you're sleeping in the *literal* dog house that night. Promising review:"This is the second privacy screen I've purchased from Amazon. I have an area in my garden visible from the street. The screen hides all my gardening stuff (i.e. wheelbarrow, buckets, etc.). It truly looks like the real deal!!!" — soooz Get a 94-inch x 39-inch roll from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in three sizes). 41. A touchless vacuum so you can throw that dust pan in the GARBAGE where it belongs. No longer bend and snap every time you sweep! Bless. Promising review:" 10/10, would recommend. Got this initially for cleaning up the hair in my salon. It works perfectly! I love it. It's so easy. This is AMAZING!!" — Alyssa Get it from Amazon for $199 (available in five colors). 42. A CovoBox that'll cover your Wi-Fi router with elegant "books" instead of leaving it out on display. What a *novel* idea! Amazon Handmade Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood. BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah! Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 43. A silicone grease container for home cooks who would love to start putting their bacon grease to good use. This has a strainer to make sure no bacon bits get left behind. Just toss it in the freezer and you'll have smooth, delectable drippings for your next cooking endeavor (or a mess-free trashing system if bacon grease isn't your thing). Amazon This reusable, silicone design is safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, resists stains and odors, and holds one cup of cooled grease. Promising review:"This came exactly as described. It's worth every penny! It's compact, fits right in your refrigerator without taking up too much space, is easy to clean, and adorable!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 44. An attachable elastic laptop accessory belt to hold all your essentials nice and snug. We're talkin' phone, pens, cables, etc.. Gone are the days of precariously balancing all your most important items on top of your laptop while scurrying from meeting to meeting! Amazon Check out a TikTok of the laptop belt in action. Beblau is an Italy-based, family-owned small business specializing in products for digital nomads. Promising review: "This product is a lifesaver for a teacher on the go. I use it for my iPad Pro and my school issued laptop. I no longer drop things as I move place to place! Just the basics will fit, pen, cards, small writing tablet." — Elementary Techy Teacher Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 45. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser so you can keep your bread in an airtight container (because those plastic bags are *not* pulling their weight). Reviewers say this can keep your bread fresh far longer, and keep it smush-free! Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action. Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes unique household products. Promising review:"The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" — DRMcQuaig Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 46. An adjustable cake leveler that'll help with what feels like an impossible task – evenly cutting into a baked cake. If you've tried this with a knife before and ended up with nothing but crumbles, you deserve this. Amazon, If you'd like to make a checkerboard cake – you need this piece! Promising review: "I was scared to work with layer cakes before because I fail miserably in leveling cakes. Ruler and knife just do not work for me! I can't do it! I decided to give this a try and, boy, I feel like I am an expert cake maker. It's so easy to use and it works perfectly. So far I have tried it on white almond sour cream cake and it has done great. I was able to do a checkerboard cake and I couldn't imagine pulling it off before. Can't wait to make more fabulous cakes! If you suck at leveling cakes, do not hesitate to get this tool! I promise you are going to love it!'' — E. Champion Get it from Amazon for $15.49. 47. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass and you can grab pickles, cherries, or olives *without* the juice making a mess. Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 48. An Air Fort that'll store flat (it's about the size of a sweatshirt when folded) and then inflate when your kids want to play! This genius toy is easy to pick up, easy to set up, and keeps your house free from the chaos of pillow forts. Amazon Promising review:"This is the best gift ever. High impact, easy to set up, so exciting for kids, but folds up SO SMALL. It's maybe the size of a folded sweatshirt when it's packed up? Honestly it's a parent's dream to have a fun activity that doesn't require a ton of storage. I will keep this on my list of gift ideas for the future for other kids in my life!" — Lindsay W. Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in 13 styles). 49. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher can transform the dumbest of devices into smart machines worthy of the future (as long as they have a press-able "on/off" switch). Have Alexa control these gadgets and gizmos with an app instead! Getting up to start the coffee maker is so last century. Amazon Promising review:"This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." — Alecia McLochlin Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 5%; available in white and black). 50. A set of soda can "lids" to transform any canned beverage into a portable bottle. Grab this little can hat and keep drinks fresh longer while making them easy to travel with! Check it out on TikTok here! Reviewers also *swear* by these for keeping sand and dirt off the rim at picnics or the beach! Promising review: "These are amazing! Especially for kids. I have carried them by the top as well as flipped them upside down etc. and it does not pop off! I was skeptical but surprised at how well they stay on!" — Britt25 Get a set of six from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors). 51. A front seat organizer designed with two extra drink holders and a catchall spot for keys, lip balm, and the like. Reviewers say this easily fits in their car, even if they didn't have any cupholders before. If you, like the rest of TikTok, need a caffeinated drink, a hydrating drink, and a *fun* drink all at the same gonna need this stat. Promising review: "Most awesome thing I bought I think all year! I have a small sports car, no cup-holders. This thing looks awesome, is well-made, and is sturdy! It's everything I needed and it looks fantastic in my car, even though I have dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" — 2019 Get it from Amazon for $21.84+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 5%; available in six colors). 52. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) so you can always make sure there's soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — mammothemeerkat Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 13 pack options, including different scents). 53. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer because that ancient box of baking soda isn't cutting it. Rather than just absorbing bad smells, this also circulates fresh air throughout your fridge to make sure every crevice and corner smells fresh! Check it out on TikTok! Promising review:"I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I've had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn't smelled once since I've started using." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two styles). 54. A cabinet hammock — a fun fruit bowl replacement for folks who love having produce ~hanging~ around within eyesight (and extra, uncluttered counter space on top of that). Macra-YAY Macrame / Etsy Lesli Lenover's shop has all things mini plant hangers for your car! The shop is based in Indianapolis. Promising review:"I was so excited to clear off counter space by getting rid of my fruit bowl. The quality is great, thank you!" — Melinda Myrick Get it from Macra-YAY Macrame on Etsy for $33. 55. A bubble tent that'll be loved by adventurers who actually want to SEE the great outdoors when they are out. Reviewers say this is a cinch to set up (particularly easy with two people) and relatively solid in all weather (just be sure to have a pad underneath if it rains). Imagine star gazing before snoozing in this thing! DREAMY! Promising review:"This was easy to assemble and is likely even easier with two people. I love going out on the woods to have a camping / picnic date or party with friends. It's resistant to the wind water resistant. When the weather is cold, it's cozy and warm inside this tent. It maintains a good temperature (review image above, left)." — jimeamezcua Get it from Amazon for $299.99+ (available in four sizes). 56. A bag re-sealer I'd personally buy for the looks alone (it's basically a tiny hair straightener! CUTE!) for anyone who would love the chance to reseal their snacks and keep them feelin' fresh. Promising review:"Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips I open daily. This sealer worked great. Heated up in, like, 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now, I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" — Stacy0814 Get it from Amazon for $15.59. 57. And finally, a salt shooter — with this, you can spend all spring and summer hunting the world's most dangerous pesky housefly. Promising review:"This salt gun is SO MUCH FUN! I hate flies so this is the perfect solution. It's like a nerf gun but shoots salt instead. It's not too heavy to hold. However the pump is tough to pull back, which is perfect for an adult but difficult for kids. If you shoot yourself in the hands or arm, it stings a tiny bit but that's it. I Highly recommend it! Happy Hunting!" — Q. Nguyen Get it from Amazon for $49.95. Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.

Sure, These 58 Products May Be A *Bit* Extra, But They're Also Super Useful
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 · A satin-lined beanie, portable car vacuum, toilet target light, and more products you don't *need* (except you do). 1. A sinfully silky satin-lined beanie that'll keep your noggin warm *without* drying out and damaging your hair. This'll save you from forcing yourself to keep your hat on in heated homes when you don't want folks seeing your bed head-esque hat hair. Whew. Promising review:"This beanie is perfect for curly and wavy girls! The entire inside is satin-lined. When I took the hat off it did not cause any damaged or frizzy curls! I am in love and need more colors!" — Crystal Ingram Get it from Amazon $13.99+ (available in six colors). 2. A handy portable car vacuum so you can clean your car without the extra effort of bringing your vacuum outside. (Because honestly, when do we ever actually do that?) It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle! Promising review:"Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October, my husband and I went to the ocean, and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" — Julia Bright Get it from Amazon for $29.96 (available in two colors and in a cordless or corded version). 3. The Car Seat Key for parents and guardians who have had one too many manicures ruined by car seat clips. This makes buckling and unbuckling your little one *super* easy and it even hooks onto your keychain so you've always got it with you when getting in the car. Promising review:"After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I'd have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! LOL, if you've been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It's worth it!" — Tora318 Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six colors). 4. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit so you can prep (and cleanup!) in no time at all. The interchangeable blades just pop out and then you can pop them right into the dishwasher! 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 $29.99+ (available in five styles). 5. A 2-in-1 hair bun maker that'll help make all of those beautiful bun hairstyles on your Pinterest board come to life! You can even use it while your hair is damp and enjoy some effortless waves when you take it out! Curlinator Designs / Etsy Curlinator Designs is a North Carolina-based small family biz that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review: "Love it!!! I was concerned I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it, but videos make understanding simple. So much easier to use in the mornings than fixing your hair in a bun!!!" — bld9 Get it from Curlinator Designs on Etsy for $12.75 (available in 18 colors). 6. A soothing behavioral aid toy with a faux heartbeat — this is sure to be your puppy's ~dream~ toy and help *you* finally get to sleep while crate training. Amazon Promising review:"My partner and I recently got a 4-month-old Italian greyhound puppy and this has been great. We slept with the stuffed animal a few nights before picking up our puppy and placed it in his crate before he arrived. After playing with us and exploring his new home he walked into his crate and curled up against it and went right to sleep. He slept right through the first night with no issue. Today is week two and the batteries are still going strong. I plan on buying one for my sister who will be getting a puppy in the next few months. This is cute and functional." — Jeb Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in seven colors). 7. A bulb changer so you can change the lightbulb in your ceiling without needing to buy a ladder along with new bulbs. It has grippy rubber strips to securely grab the bulb while you twist the pole to unscrew it, and it even has helpful leveling stoppers so the bulb stays in place while you're screwing a new one in! Just so you know, this is only the gripper tool — not the pole. If you need the pole, you can select that style in the listing. Promising reviews: " If you read the description, they claim this product to be over-engineered and well-built. Let me tell you, they are very correct! We have a banquet center with 135 can lights in a 14-foot ceiling. It is a pain to change them. I've used many pole changers in the past, and they all were fairly effective but poorly built and had limitations. This unit is incredible!" — Brad Q. "We have 10-foot ceilings, and one of our overhead floodlights was starting to blink on and off. I have an 8-foot ladder but rather than hauling that into the house and climbing up on it, I got online to see what I could find. I had an old 10-foot car wash pole, and that worked perfectly with the bulb changer — so much easier than the hassle of a ladder. After replacing my bad light, I then wondered about changing my stairway light 16 feet up from the stairs landing. Luckily, we had bought a second-story window-washing kit a couple of months ago, which included a four-piece extending pole, so I thought I would try that out and see how it would be. It's a little tricky holding steady that high up, but when the need arises, I think it'll work just fine. So all-in-all, I'm quite happy with this, and it'll make a great tool to keep stored away waiting for the next light bulb failure." — Patrick Get it from Amazon for $19.83+ (available in three styles and with the pole). 8. A versatile bag clip to treat your Gucci with the love and respect it deserves — keep it off of sticky floors and bathroom tile! Promising review:"I have a very heavy, large purse that is a bottomless pit. One time I put my purse on the back of my chair at a cafe and the whole chair flipped over, that is how heavy my bag is. I was looking for something so I could hook my purse on things so it wasn't sitting on the floor and was more accessible. I love this little gadget. I have used it on everything from bathroom stalls to tables to grocery carts. This thing really grips. All of my girlfriends love it and have gotten it for themselves." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in nine colors). 9. A spice-organizing drawer liner you can cut to fit inside your kitchen drawers, making room for over 30 spice jars! Now to sort them in alphabetical Hot. Promising review:"We just moved into a new home, and I needed a way to store spices in a drawer. This product is exactly what I was looking for. It fits beautifully in my drawer, but I love that the strips can be cut for a custom fit. I shopped around for other in-drawer spice organizers, but I would have had to purchase separate jars and transfer the spices. No thanks. This product works with the jars and containers just as they come from the store — no need to purchase special jars. It holds large and small round jars, square containers, and oversized spices. The quality is outstanding. I'm very happy with my purchase!" — EPD611 Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $16.99. 10. A toilet target light with a motion sensor and clear projection — this is sure to make potty training a bright spot in your child's life. To apply, simply clean the area with an alcohol wipe before attaching the light. Take the sticker off the back and press firmly against the lid for 90 seconds. That's it! Batteries are included. Promising review:"I got this thinking 'Dear lord I hope this works. If I drop my pants in pee again or have to scrub another wall I am going to go insane!' I thought the price was a bit much but it is okay now that I now it works! I don't know why people are saying theirs don't stay on. I'm truly hoping they cleaned the area first... but anyways. All I did was clean the surface of the lid with some rubbing alcohol and stuck this light on, like it said to do. My husband and son are in and out of the bathroom several times a day. Slamming the lid closed. Lights on and off all the time. This still lights up bright as ever and it's going on three weeks. Now when I sit I sometimes might lean back into it but it's really not an issue. I'm just overwhelmed with joy because this target works and I do not have to scrub any extra walls, floors, or pants!!! You better believe I'm getting one for every darn bathroom in my house!!!" — NoRestForTheWicked Get it from Amazon for $34.88. 11. A set of fiberglass chopsticks that are dishwasher-safe and made with a no-slip design — these'll help you easily eat noodles without tasty bites slipping and sliding before they make it into your mouth. These also work great with hot foods, i.e. they won't get too hot when hanging out in a steaming bowl of broth. Promising review:"This is a quality set of chopsticks! The fiberglass is heavier than standard wood ones (obviously), but they are still easy to use. They don't feel that heavy in the hand. The tips are textured slightly for a better grip on food; this is really great with noodles. The top has a pretty design. I haven't had them very long, but they seem durable and relatively scratch resistant. They clean easily with soap and warm water (they're also dishwasher-friendly). I was looking for an affordable, re-useable set and originally considering stainless steel ones. But based on a number of reviews stating that the material on some wasn't true stainless steel, or they're too heavy, or they get too hot if left in a bowl, I ultimately went with this set. I'm very glad I did!" — nhcabin Get a box of 10 pairs from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors). 12. A bagel guillotine which, despite its delightfully dreadful name, is just about the safest way you could ever slice a bagel. Grab this to help your kids make breakfast without the fear of losing a digit. Promising review:"I picked this up because my heart could no longer take the stress of watching our 11-year-old slice bagels (while multitasking with screens and whatnot) with a serrated bread knife. I was going to have a heart attack and she was going to slice into her hand so...I had high hopes and, regardless of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, some concerns about how well this would work. My concerns were unwarranted. This not-so-little little device slices through every single bagel, every single time (and my kid goes through kicks where she'll eat two or three each day). I no longer worry about serious cuts even though the (covered) blade on this thing is SHARP! Only word of advice, like other reviewers, slice (press down) slowly so as not to squash softer bagels. Additionally, this thing slices so cleanly that there are no crumbs to speak of. I'm quite happy with this purchase. This thing now has a permanent place next to the toaster on our counter. I highly recommend it." — Christopher RS Get it from Amazon for $22.27+ (available in three colors). 13. A pack of Spin Pins capable of holding your hair tight no matter how much you move, saving you from constantly readjusting your 'do throughout the day. One of these coils is as strong as 20 (!) standard hair pins. Bad hair days are officially extinct. Promising review:"I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust can." — Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors). 14. A pack of Elephant Trax labels to make storing (and finding!) things you've packed easier than ever. Attach a sticker to the box, take photos of everything inside, and you're all set! You now have a visual inventory! Never confuse your Halloween and Christmas storage again. The Nightmare Before Christmas vibe isn't really your thing anyway. Promising review: "I am so glad I ordered an extra pack of these. My goal for January was to organize the basement. I have TONS of plastic bins and whenever I need something, I have to open each to find what I'm looking for. I took a few hours the first weekend cleaning out and organizing everything and the bins. I took pictures of the contents of each bin, put one of these stickers on each bin then associated the pics with the sticker's QR code and voila, done. IF YOU LIKE TO BE ORGANIZED, GET THESE STICKERS!" — Fred Labro Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three pack sizes). 15. A sleep-training alarm clock that'll make rule-following seem positively perky! This'll display darling tiny robot facial expressions and glowing colors to let your kids know when it's time to sleep and when it's okay to get up the parents. Promising review:"This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 :( and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we're amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it's fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don't let this stop you from getting it though, it was worth every penny!" — JW Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors). 16. A touchless paper towel dispenser — reviewers rave about how much less messy this makes grabbing a paper towel when they're covered in cake batter, sauce, and such. If you're looking to add a useful, futuristic touch to your classic farmhouse kitchen, look no further than this! Check out a TikTok of the touchless paper towel dispenser in action. Bonus: if you don't grab the paper towel, it sucks it back up for safekeeping! Promising review: "Do we need it? No. But it might be my favorite unnecessary gadget purchase of all time. It leaves our counter tops uncluttered, the no touch sensor lets me grab a paper towel with dirty hands, and I feel like we use less paper towels overall. It's easy to install, easy to program, and easy to replace the roll." — Mlc Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors). 17. A wooden bread box so stunning you may feel like the owner of a boulangerie every time you reach for a slice of bread. And it's not just serving up good looks! The plexiglass windows will help you know what bread you have at the ready. I've wasted more than one loaf of bread by hiding it in a concealed bread box and forgetting about it. be buying this. I thought it was impossible to forget about YET. Promising review:"LOVE!! Bread has to be transported frozen to our town. Because of this, our bread gets super moist, molds quickly, and even gets soggy inside the bag before using it. This bread box really helps! Now, I have DRY STORAGE for my bread and it doesn't mold within a few days of buying it. This works great and looks great! Nice to have an organized place for all my bread loaves." — AkLiz2011 Get it from Amazon for $69.97+ (available in four colors). 18. A self-closing, mess-free toothpaste cap to help save toothpaste in your household even if your kids are rather enthusiastic when squeezing goop from the tube. Plus, this prevents crusty toothpaste buildup! Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." — Kimberly C. Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.75+ (available in seven styles/quantities). 19. A "Shower Cat" that'll be a hit with folks who spend half their time in the shower making hair art on the walls, which inevitably ends up clogging the drain. TMI? This makes catching your hair *much* easier and gives it a proper place while you finish sudsing up. Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs. Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn't want to be how I used to be, where I'd just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don't stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." — Cari Schwartzkopf Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in two colors). 20. An OXO diaper wipes dispenser sure to be a beloved addition to your changing station. The one-press opening and weighted interior means you can grab wipes with one hand, which is unnervingly necessary when your baby's favorite time to wiggle around is on top of the dresser while being changed.

It arrived quickly and securely packaged. The vase is really cool, the glass portion is very sturdy, and the metal portion of the vase seems very strong.

Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes unique household products. Promising review:"The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" — DRMcQuaig Get it from Amazon for $15.49. 47.

A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass and you can grab pickles, cherries, or olives *without* the juice making a mess. Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick Get it from Amazon for $13.90. 49.

This genius toy is easy to pick up, easy to set up, and keeps your house free from the chaos of pillow forts. Amazon Promising review:"This is the best gift ever. High impact, easy to set up, so exciting for kids, but folds up SO SMALL. It's maybe the size of a folded sweatshirt when it's packed up?

Have Alexa control these gadgets and gizmos with an app instead! Getting up to start the coffee maker is so last century. Amazon Promising review:"This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." — Alecia McLochlin Get it from Amazon for $20.30+ (available in white and black). 51.

A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) so you can always make sure there's soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — mammothemeerkat Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 13 pack options, including different scents). 54. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer because that ancient box of baking soda isn't cutting it. Rather than just absorbing bad smells, this also circulates fresh air throughout your fridge to make sure every crevice and corner smells fresh! Check it out on TikTok! Promising review:"I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I've had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky.

A bubble tent that'll be loved by adventurers who actually want to SEE the great outdoors when they are out. Reviewers say this is a cinch to set up (particularly easy with two people) and relatively solid in all weather (just be sure to have a pad underneath if it rains). Imagine star gazing before snoozing in this thing! DREAMY! Promising review:"This was easy to assemble and is likely even easier with two people. I love going out on the woods to have a camping / picnic date or party with friends. It's resistant to the wind water resistant. When the weather is cold, it's cozy and warm inside this tent. It maintains a good temperature (review image above, left)." — jimeamezcua Get it from Amazon for $237.99+ (available in four sizes). 57. A bag re-sealer I'd personally buy for the looks alone (it's basically a tiny hair straightener! CUTE!) for anyone who would love the chance to reseal their snacks and keep them feelin' fresh. Promising review:"Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips I open daily. This sealer worked great. Heated up in, like, 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now, I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" — Stacy0814 Get it from Amazon for $11.33. 58. And finally, a salt shooter — with this, you can spend all spring and summer hunting the world's most dangerous pesky housefly. Promising review:"This salt gun is SO MUCH FUN! I hate flies so this is the perfect solution. It's like a nerf gun but shoots salt instead. It's not too heavy to hold. However the pump is tough to pull back, which is perfect for an adult but difficult for kids. If you shoot yourself in the hands or arm, it stings a tiny bit but that's it. I Highly recommend it! Happy Hunting!" — Q. Nguyen Get it from Amazon for $39.95. Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.

They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter.

Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique.

I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 9. A cervical neck "pillow" that'll provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much-needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down. Amazon, After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in six colors). 10.

I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" — Awesome Taste Get it from Amazon for $12.78. 14. A cutting board prep station so you can slice, dice, and store your meal prepped masterpieces all at once.

Amazon Promising review: "It's always a gamble getting pajamas online, especially when they're supposed to be silky; sometimes you get that unyielding plastic-y feeling material. That's not the case with these! They're soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they'd be. I'm definitely going to order in more colors." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors and patterns). 18.

I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning.

A customizable set of plastic storage cubes that'll snap together and create a perfect storage system, no matter where you place them.

Promising review:" I absolutely love the look of these storage containers (pictured above, right)! They are so unique and modern. The quality is great, the glass is pretty thick, and they seem very durable. The reason I'm docking one star is because some containers don't quite seal air tight correctly like the rest. Not sure if it's the glass container or the cork but I did come across that one issue with some of the jars. Overall though, I would recommend these containers." — Mig and Les Get a set of three from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two set sizes). 24. Linen napkins that are naturally stain-resistant. If you're gonna really make your napkins work to earn their keep — this chic set has your name on it! Amazon Promising review:"These are beautiful napkins. They are a fine weight for everyday use and hold up to the washing machine. Being linen we didn't expect them to be wrinkle-free but they are amazingly stain resistant. We are totally in love with them. We got a set of each color. They are big enough we can use one color napkin as a placemat and then an alternate color as the napkin to mix and match with the placemats.

Promising review:"I love the size of it. It's the perfect size to fit on our mantle, but still big enough to allow us to watch movies and shows on it. We currently have it in our playroom and the kids love being able to watch stuff on it. I love being able to display my pictures on it, which saves me from having to get a digital picture frame. The volume on it is very good and it picks up my voice very easily. Highly recommend this." — Laura Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two colors). 27.

Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second was scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling Get it from Amazon for $47.49. 30. An LED flat plate, which is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you. Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors). 31.

Promising review:"I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this piece. It's sturdy and the marble print on the shelving matched my bathroom vanity fairly well. The accompanying hooks were silver and not the same champagne gold, so be aware if that matters to you. Also very easy to assemble and install." — David Get it from Amazon for $47.49+ (available in two sizes and five colors). 34. A Cuisinart ice cream maker — if you wanna experiment with recipes you've only seen in restaurants, then grab this heirloom gadget and fix up some olive oil, basil, and blackberry ice cream the very *second* it ships! It includes a replacement lid, 2-quart double insulated freezer bowl, paddle, and a recipe book. Promising review:" Got one for me, for my sister, and my parents, and we all love it! It's easy to use, easy to clean, and best of all it makes some amazing ice cream. For best results on the consistency of your ice cream I recommend not filling it to full capacity. I always go 1.75 quarts, since some ingredients make the ice cream expand and spill over the edge. I also freeze the container a day prior to using it. I wouldn't attempt to make more than one batch in one day, the container needs to be as cold as possible." — Beatriz Get it from Amazon for $79.99. 35.

Promising review: "My daughter told me about this razor, saying that she has used this for years, so I went ahead and order one. That was the best decision ever. I will NEVER ever waste money buying razors again. You can keep this one forever. The razor is made with a good, strong material and it's pretty. It's easy to use, practical, easy to change the blades, and it will last you a long time. This is the last time you have to buy a razor. Do yourself a favor and buy this.

Great sheets without the huge sticker price." — Anna Greenlun Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in 15 sizes and 45 colors). 39.

Amazon Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing.

New England Stories is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about story a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (for four; available in three colors and in two- and six-packs). 42. An unreasonably lovely hardshell suitcase with such a smooth glide (even when packed to the brim) you'll think it's competing in a waltzing contest. It's lightweight, has 360-degree spinning wheels, *and* has a TSA combination lock so your stuff is safe and secure while you travel. Amazon Promising review: " So cute and well made! I bought this suitcase based on looks alone. It is just so adorable and a perfect carry-on size. I traveled with it for the first time last week and was very impressed with the quality and construction. I dragged it all over Manhattan, and the wheels worked like a dream.

Promising review:"This is a great brush for travel. It cuts down on the amount of brushes you might need to bring on a trip. You could probably get along with only this brush. It is very versatile. I bought the one with the sponge. Looks very useful, and lightens the beauty bag load." — KMC Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in two colors). 45. The Car Seat Key for parents and guardians who have had one too many manicures ruined by car seat clips. This makes buckling and unbuckling your little one *super* easy and it even hooks onto your keychain so you've always got it with you when getting in the car. Promising review:"After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I'd have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! LOL, if you've been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It's worth it!" — Tora318 Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six colors and in multipacks). 46. A French-style marble butter keeper — this makes butter soft and spreadable so you don't find yourself destroying a piece of bread by trying to add cold butter to it. Promising review: "There are people who have this butter bowl and then there are savages. It's like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that. I feel like society moved one step closer to true enlightenment with this invention. It really is the cats meow, and keeps our cat from licking the butter!" — Mike Get it from Amazon for $29.45+ (available in three styles). 47.

Amazon My coworker Emma Lord had this to say:"I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart." Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in two shades). 3.

We purchased a couple of beautiful, charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet onto them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, now my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." — Renee Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 6. A super cute LED color-changing mushroom night-light for a touch of cozy charm that'll bring a smile to your face whenever you see it. And no more stumbling through the darkness for a midnight snack!! Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." — 1Thand Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 7.

I've only been using this for four days and can see a slight difference in the appearance of my cellulite. I have a deep dimple in my left butt cheek and I can already tell that it's shrinking and smoothing out. I've used very expensive creams, oils, and lotions but after four days I already see more results with this product. To make it even better, the scent is amazing! I use it all over because it makes my skin so soft even the next day." — ChelseaK "I'm not sure what I love more the moisturizing or the scent and I did see a noticeable difference in my skin.

It'll also help remove pesky blackheads and whiteheads. Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like mine." — LuckLocust Get it from Amazon for $9.10. 9.

They also sell cute scrunchies, cloth face masks, satin pillowcases, and more. Promising review:"I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." — Meghan Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two styles). 11. An undetectable mouse jiggler because you deserve to stretch your legs, grab a snack, or use the bathroom without panicking about your status turning to "away" on Teams or Slack — the horror.

Must have!" — Cassie Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 14. A"Gracula" garlic crusher — it's basically a proven fact no one enjoys mincing garlic. No one!!! This cutie will make the task a bit more fun. Plus, no stinky garlic hands after. You *and* your cart deserve this. Open it, pop in the clove, close it, and twist it together in two opposite directions for perfectly minced garlic. Promising review: "This is so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece so no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily — it is honestly a game changer for my cooking game! And it is fun and cute, which makes me want to use it more! Will be getting these for stocking stuffers for all my adult kids this year for the holidays — definitely one of those things they didn't know they need!!" — Llamazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.95. 15.

These are SO dang satisfying, you may never venture into the world of regular boring candy again. Space Age Snacks is a small business that specializes in small batch freeze-dried candy. Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Skittles normally taste alright, but having them freeze-dried really made the flavors POP, and genuinely I feel like they had more flavor than normal Skittles. (Then again, that might just be my head playing it up knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.) Very delicious." — John Blake Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (and check out the rest of their freeze-dried candy for more options). 16. A flexible and lightly compressive headache relief cap if you'd love to have some go-to tension relief on hand at all times. Stash it in the freezer so you're prepared for those dreadful moments as soon as they hit. You can also pop it in the microwave (if it's at room temp first!) for some heat therapy. Read more about migraine treatments at Mayo Clinic. Y'ALL! I've been a chronic migraine sufferer for years so I was skeptical that this ice pack would be any better than others I've tried. Thankfully, I was wrong. It's not flimsy at all and has some good weight to it while still being super soft and flexible. In addition to 360-degree cold (or heat!) therapy, it also provides *gentle* compression that's wonderfully soothing when a headache hits. You can pull it all the way down to cover your eyes (🎶 hello darkness, my old friend 🎶) or push it slightly upward to sit on your forehead, which means you'll still be able to see and do things if needed. I also LOVE not having to balance an ice pack on my forehead while trying to get some relief. The included freezer bag keeps it nicely contained so it doesn't come out smelling like all the frozen foods it's stored with. Promising review: "I have suffered from migraines my entire life and I'm almost 50-years-old. As soon as I put this pack on my head I instantly felt relief from the five-day barometric pressure migraine I've had. The soft design was really nice and I love that it covered my whole head and was easy to put on. I recommend waiting a few minutes after taking it out of the freezer because it was really cold." — T.

A cross-hatch tissue holder that honestly may have you crying tears of joy, considering you had no idea your Kleenex could look THIS dang cute.

Promising review:"This product is exactly what I was hoping for. It's great quality. Looks so chic. Such a nice way to dress up a household necessity. Definitely worth it." — Kaylee Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors). 18.

It also comes with the molds and rollers needed to make all kinds of sushi, including temaki, gunkan, nigiri, musubi, and sushi balls. Promising review:"I have wanted to learn to make sushi at home for quite some time but was unsure what it entailed. This kit is complete and so easy to use that I was able to make great sushi the first time I tried it. The instructions are easy to understand. The inclusion of the cutting guide for the finished sushi roll allows you to produce beautiful and appealing sushi. The bazooka took a couple of tries to get the correct amount of rice, but it worked like a charm. I would suggest checking online for directions on preparing the rice properly, but otherwise, the included directions were complete. I loved this kit so much I am considering buying additional ones to give my family as gifts." — Denis Bekaert Get it from Amazon for $25.99. 19. Some highly absorbent, 100% cotton checkered hand towels when your kitchen or bathroom looks overwhelmingly dull but you're not trying to spend a fortune on a full-blown makeover.

Just bought some for my sister and mom, they love them so much. Soft and absorbent, just the right thickness, has some wear and tear after just a couple of months, but we use them daily and have washed and dried them a lot. Definitely worth the price." — CA Get a set of four from Amazon for $22.99 (available in five color combos). 20. A "why didn't I try this sooner?" teeth-whitening pen for instant results that'll make you believe in miracles. It can banish stains from wine, coffee, tea, etc. It's painless, effective, *and* mint flavored. Promising review:"I bought this for my husband who has very stained teeth regardless of how often he brushed! Blame the coffee and genetics. WHATEVER. These results are 30 minutes apart. He was skeptical but it WORKS! Would buy over and over again. I'm sold. Will definitely purchase when this runs out!" — Jessica Grant Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.95+ (also available in packs of four and inidividually). 21.

Reviewers who run or sweat a lot during workouts swear by these because the flexible, adjustable ear loops lock them in place! Check out a TikTok of the open air earbuds in action. Promising review:"Amazing sound quality! I have owned many headphones, and none have been as good as these. There's always the problem with the in-ear ones, which tend to fall off, and the over-ear ones are just too bulky or hurt to wear for long periods of time. And most importantly, being able to wear them not only for audio but for calls too and have a good microphone. These headphones cover all of the above and more. They are lightweight, they don't bother my ears in any way, they don't fall off, they have a good mic, and no sound leaking at all!!!! Best purchase I've made! Now I'm tempted to try other headphones from Tozo." — Natalia Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (be sure to clip the $20 off coupon on the product page for this price!; available in four colors). 22.

This liquid highlighter adds a lightweight color tint to your complexion for a dewy glow-up that can be worn alone OR with foundation. The lightweight formula contains glycerin and shea butter for long-lasting hydration. Promising review:"Love love love this stuff. This is such a stellar product that is so versatile. Can be worn alone for some to put some glowy life to skin. Add to foundation or layer it. Beautiful. Use it as a base wear you put highlighter on top. Mix some with moisturizer. This in my opinion is better than so many high-luxury brands that make similar products. And I am pretty sure it can be used by all skin types. It's not oily feeling at all and it doesn't dry out skin either. Just a total package. Can't beat the price either." — Figgy08 Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in five shades and as a two-pack). 23.

These are made of silicone and will help secure your glasses without making them squeeze your skull until it nearly pops — just slide the arm of your eyewear through the grip! Amazon Promising review:"I love this product. I had grown weary with my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." — Danyelle Brazell Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $9.99 (available in black or a multicolor pack). 25. An exfoliating scrub mitt that'll help you achieve ~super smooth~ skin without harsh chemicals or rough dry brushes. Regular exfoliation is great for reducing bumps and ingrown hairs too! Yep, future you will be *extra* thankful for this impulse buy. Promising review:"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in packs of two). 26.

We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." — Shopmindfully Get it from Amazon for $12.79 (available in two sizes and 11 colors/patterns). 28.

Each day has the same two-page spread that prompts you to think about your day, how you felt, and why you felt that way. There isn't really any inspiration or advice, just open lines for your thoughts without it being an intimidating blank page.

I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds.

My colleague Mallory Mower uses it: "I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great!" Promising review:"I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed!

Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades). 3. An elegant switch plate cover for sprucing up your space if the fixer upper you own needs updates from top to bottom. These inexpensive plate covers were *made* for making bland walls look bold. Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store.

An ultra soft faux fur rug sure to feel luxurious every time you get out of bed and have this fancy fuzz between your toes. Amazon Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.19+ (available in six sizes and eight colors). 5. A ceramic mug and coaster — fill this up with your favorite coffee or tea and it's sure to be your very own cup of sunshine on a cloudy day.

The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood. BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah! Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 7. A cervical neck "pillow" that'll provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much-needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down. Amazon, After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in five colors). 8.

These are easy to fill and have rubber snaps that lock them tight. They come right out and you can even take just one out and leave the others for the next time. These are a hit at all of my dinner parties too! I have already ordered more as my friends all want these in their drinks!" — Siri US Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two pack sizes). 9.

I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" — Awesome Taste Get it from Amazon for $10.84. 13. A Baroque mirror sure to shock your friends when you tell them you found it on Amazon. That is, IF you tell them. Promising review:"All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It's heavy and not cheap looking.

Amazon Promising review: "It's always a gamble getting pajamas online, especially when they're supposed to be silky; sometimes you get that unyielding plastic-y feeling material. That's not the case with these! They're soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they'd be. I'm definitely going to order in more colors." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors and patterns). 16.

I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning.

A customizable set of plastic storage cubes that'll snap together and create a perfect storage system, no matter where you place them.

Totally love this because it is so spacious and you can build it in any shape you want." — Mama D Get a 16-cube set on sale from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 20.

Promising review:" I absolutely love the look of these storage containers (pictured above, right)! They are so unique and modern. The quality is great, the glass is pretty thick, and they seem very durable. The reason I'm docking one star is because some containers don't quite seal air tight correctly like the rest. Not sure if it's the glass container or the cork but I did come across that one issue with some of the jars. Overall though, I would recommend these containers." — Mig and Les Get a set of three from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two set sizes). 22. Linen napkins that are naturally stain-resistant. If you're gonna really make your napkins work to earn their keep — this chic set has your name on it! Amazon Promising review:"These are beautiful napkins. They are a fine weight for everyday use and hold up to the washing machine. Being linen we didn't expect them to be wrinkle-free but they are amazingly stain resistant. We are totally in love with them. We got a set of each color. They are big enough we can use one color napkin as a placemat and then an alternate color as the napkin to mix and match with the placemats. The coral color is our favorite." — Deanna O'Shaughnessy Get a four-pack from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in eight colors). 23.

Promising review: " For the price you can't beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that.

An Echo Show 8 that'll display the weather, play videos, set alarms, and even make video calls. Once you get this in your life, you'll be shocked you lived life without this thing — trust me. Promising review:"I love the size of it. It's the perfect size to fit on our mantle, but still big enough to allow us to watch movies and shows on it. We currently have it in our playroom and the kids love being able to watch stuff on it. I love being able to display my pictures on it, which saves me from having to get a digital picture frame. The volume on it is very good and it picks up my voice very easily. Highly recommend this." — Laura Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two colors). 25.

Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling.

I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 28. An LED flat plate, which is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you. Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors). 29.

Promising review:"I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this piece. It's sturdy and the marble print on the shelving matched my bathroom vanity fairly well.

Also very easy to assemble and install." — David Get it from Amazon for $52.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors). 31.

It's easy to use, easy to clean, and best of all it makes some amazing ice cream. For best results on the consistency of your ice cream I recommend not filling it to full capacity. I always go 1.75 quarts, since some ingredients make the ice cream expand and spill over the edge. I also freeze the container a day prior to using it. I wouldn't attempt to make more than one batch in one day, the container needs to be as cold as possible." — Beatriz Get it from Amazon for $99.94 (available in three colors). 33.

It's easy to use, practical, easy to change the blades, and it will last you a long time. This is the last time you have to buy a razor. Do yourself a favor and buy this.

Amazon Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing.

I traveled with it for the first time last week and was very impressed with the quality and construction. I dragged it all over Manhattan, and the wheels worked like a dream. The zippers are also very hardy and the handle extension is very smooth. Everywhere I took it, I got compliments from strangers on the street. I will definitely consider buying more sizes from this brand." — Anne Lindeberg Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in three sizes, four colors, and a set of two). 40.

I'd have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! LOL, if you've been thinking about this for a while, GET IT!
