It also comes equipped with a soft grip handle and a deeply convenient angled nozzle, and is dishwasher-safe! Promising review:"Our old liquid measuring cups were beginning to get worn and very hard to read. I had seen these angled measuring cups before and wanted to give them a try, so I bought two (2-cup versions) to replace our existing cups.

Wish I would have found this years ago!" — sleak88 Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 4. An " Ever Toast" plate if you hate the way toast and sandwiches get soggy bottoms almost immediately after being placed on a dish.

I even asked my vet about it, and his response was, "Some cats are just jerks"😂. Then I got this litter box. For the first time EVER, he does ALL of his business in the box! And there is no odor at all!! I love it so much I have two. Would highly recommend!!" — Emily Stokes Get it from Amazon for $159.95+ (available in three styles). 12.

Ramos Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors and in multipacks). 17. A window cleaning robot so wiping down the windows can stop being your job. Reviewers also use it to clean their shower walls, mirrors, and even their floors if you're really trying to knock out a bunch of tasks with one device! Promising review:"I recently purchased this and it has truly exceeded all my expectations. Our apartment has windows that have been a persistent challenge since we moved in two years ago. Despite our best efforts, we haven't been able to clean them effectively. The robot has been a game-changer. It was incredibly easy to set up right out of the box. I simply attached it to the window, added a bit of water, and let it do its work. The results were nothing short of spectacular. "What stands out is the thoroughness of the cleaning. It managed to reach most of the surface area effortlessly — something we struggled with when sticking our hand outside the window. The robot's ability to handle such a large surface with minimal intervention is remarkable. It has saved us a significant amount of time and made window maintenance a breeze. The design is sleek, and it operates quietly, which is a nice bonus. I'm genuinely thrilled with the results and would highly recommend this window cleaning robot to anyone." — Hei C.

Plus, the design is creative, well-made, and fun to look at. I highly recommend these cards for anyone looking to strengthen their bonds with loved ones." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $28. 19. A pack of foil liners for anyone whose stovetop always looks like a crime scene after prepping a meal — leaving you with yet *another* thing to deep clean. These'll catch the drips and splatters so they don't end up stuck to your stove, because who feels like putting in the elbow grease to clean that up after you've already done a bunch of dishes?? Simply toss the liners in the trash once they get too dirty, and you're done! Promising review:"One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" — Melanin Monroe Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100). 20. Or a set of liners electric ranges if the thought of cleaning underneath the burner makes you fantasize about how much fun you could have doing literally anything else.

Promising review: "Good, simple walking pad at a solid price point. It works well, and is easy to move and store. The folding mechanism functions well, and the wheels roll easily. Controlled relatively easily with the remote or app. Doesn't seem especially noisy, considering that it's a small treadmill. Very small footprint once it's folded and tucked away." — Joel Wills Get it from Amazon for $349.99 (clip the $50 off coupon on the product page for this price). 22. A suctioned clear bird feeder — attach it to your window for a front row seat to all the neighborhood birdies that stop by for a lil' snack! Promising review: "I am very pleased so far with this bird feeder. Previous feeders were no more than a place for squirrels to snack. I love that the suction cups hold, even with rain and winds. It's like having your own nature channel for birds. I've seen so many different types of beautiful birds I'm going to get one for my neighbor." — deedee5249 Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in four styles). 23.

This mop is ideal when you get one of those 'I'll see you in 10 minutes' phone calls. Just press the release button on the handle, and a spray will shoot out at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first and squeeze it out before I start, as a damp mop works better. The floor was clean in no time, and I like that I don't need to store a separate bottle of cleaner. My mom loves that it's lightweight, so she can carry it upstairs and mop the hall floors and bathroom tiles." — A. Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $24.94. 24. And a fully submersible Black + Decker power scrubber if you would rather not do the scrubbing yourself when it comes to banishing stubborn grime on everything from cookware and dishes to stovetops and sinks. Let this thing do the hard work much faster while you just guide it along! Amazon, It comes with AA batteries. Promising review:"What a great little tool to make housework just a bit easier.

An ink-free thermal Bluetooth printer for anyone who's getting sick of spending $$$ on ink refills for your standard printer that seems to go through the stuff faster than a toddler running from bedtime. Plus, it's small enough to take on the go, and easy to connect to your phone, laptop, or tablet for quick black and white printing on thermal paper. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the portable ink-free Bluetooth printer in action. This requires thermal paper to operate — grab 100 sheets on Amazon for $18.69! Say goodbye to replacing ink cartridges, toner, and ribbons — and dealing with their blockages and issues. Promising review: "This specific printer is lightweight but very sturdy. The app is super easy to use; it's got a media library that has layouts and other clipart styles. The printer is also relatively quiet, and I have not had any issues with loading the paper straight; you just have to be dedicated to inserting the paper. Do not be super gentle with the paper or it will print on the paper crooked. Customer support is awesome, and the quality is nice and worth the price, in my opinion. The paper, as stated in other reviews, is costly, however, I think not paying for ink evens it out." — Kapizanami Get it from Amazon for $75.99 (available in seven colors and with or without a case). 27. A set of stick-on appliance sliders — they make it easy to push your toasters, blenders, coffee pots, and other appliances out of the way if you are constantly having to rearrange your cluttered countertops to make space for the task at hand. The sliders are padded and elevated, so you don't have to worry about scratching your worktop, *and* they also help keep your expensive items elevated and out of harm's way when spills inevitably happen. Check out a TikTok of the appliance sliders in action. Promising review: "These are a game changer! I have some heavy appliances like my espresso machine and reverse osmosis filter that I hate to pull out to fill with water. These tiny sliders have been incredible! Immediately better, and so far (about three months in) no issues at all. Still gliding!" — sara Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five sizes). 28. And a six-piece utensil set carousel to help you maximize the storage space in your kitchen if you're running out of places to stow all of your various cooking tools. No more digging through overstuffed drawers trying to find the one thing you actually need — simply spin this lil' guy around until you see what you're looking for! Amazon Check out a TikTok of the carousel in action. Each set includes a solid spoon, slotted spoon, ladle, slotted turner, flexible turner, tongs, and a carousel storage stand. Promising review: "Another great buy from Joseph Joseph. I have had this for a year, and I still love it as much as I did the first day I put it out. It has all of the utensils I need and looks very neat and tidy on the countertop. The utensils hold up really well, too. If you're thinking about it, just get it." — Aly Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in four styles). 29. A battery-powered clip-on light because it'll come in handy on camping trips, during power outages, or even just around the house! It has two brightness levels *and* a strobe mode in case you wanna get the party started Promising review:"We use these for camping, but I placed one in the truck last night, and it saved the day when we saw a guy trying to change a tire in the dark on our way home. He said he was going to order some, however, I let him have the one we used." — Lorraine Allen Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in six styles). 30. And finally, a cast-iron scrubber for anyone who's ever spent way too long trying to scrape stubborn bits of food off of their skillet and thought to themselves — there must be a better way. This chainmail scrubber easily pulls off the grit — without stripping off the seasoning or scratching your pan. And when you're done, just throw it in the dishwasher! Just don't use it on any non-stick pans, of course — metal scratches 'em! Promising review:"I love my cast iron skillet, but I always dreaded cleaning it, so it would make me think twice before deciding to use it over my regular nonstick pans. Turns out, this is what you're *supposed* to be using to clean your cast iron skillet! The proof is in how simple and fast the cleanup is with this compared to other methods. I would recommend this to anyone with a cast iron skillet!" — B. T. Wade Get it on Amazon for $17.99. And if you do get it, I recommend reading this review — I know it's long, but they offer some excellent advice on how to make the most of it.

Intermittent in the beginning, progressing deeper, and finding new joys over time. With Breathing Buddha, the last thoughts have dropped away as counting breath always seemed to keep me conscious of, well, counting. Granted, I have always dropped the counting after a handful of breaths, but Breathing Buddha has made for a delightful transition as I realize it doesn't have to count at all. It is a lovely concept, well executed, and very easy to start using." — Lynn Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (also available in two other styles). 17.
