33 Products That'll Do The Things You Hate Doing For You
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 · There's a gadget in here that'll grate an entire block of cheese for you in a blink of an eye. 1. An undetectable laptop mouse jiggler that'll slide right into a USB port so you can sneak away to catch your breath and grab a coffee without anyone wondering why you've been offline for so long. Amazon Promising review:"Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep and when I come back, everything is logged out and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings and I use it on the minimal movement so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" — Isaiah Get it from Amazon for $9.59. 2. A bag of FryAway cooking oil solidifier — a seemingly magical substance you can sprinkle on top of your grease-coated pan and watch as it turns to a solid. No more waiting ages for it to cool, having to grossly scrape it out of your pan with a paper towel, or accidentally clogging your pipes. FryAway is a US-based small business specializing in planet-friendly cooking waste solutions. Promising review: "I will always keep this stocked in my house! My husband sent me a TikTok, I know I know, and I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out. I loved after the first night! I could easily remove the hardened oil and throw it out." — Roberta Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 3. A veggie chopper you can use to dice onions in a flash — save your uncontrollable crying for the next time you watch The Notebook. It can also spiralize, slice, and chop! Amazon Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.97 (available in three colors). 4. A car seat buckle release tool that'll save both your nails and your precious time! No one wants to struggle to open those (thankfully) extremely secure buckles while they're kiddo is hitting a pitch that could likely break glass. This gadget doesn't attach to the car seat, so no need to fret about kiddos unbuckling themselves while you're driving. Promising review:"Love that my kindergartner can unbuckle himself. It makes morning school drop-off SO MUCH EASIER! And he likes the independence of being able to do it himself!" — Lauren Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in seven colors). 5. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time. After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning. Promising review:"I'm very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard bristle tooth brush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral build up, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it's super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven't tried it on rust yet so we'll see how that goes. Over all very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" — Marissa Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 6. A rotating whisk blender you'll praise your new I-cook-all-the-time self for buying — it can blend, froth, whisk, beat, and stir all without taking up much storage space in your kitchen. Are you someone who casually whips up a salad dressing all on your own? You just might be now, thanks to this tool. Check out a TikTok of the whisk in action. Promising review:"This is one of the coolest gizmos I've purchased! And it works like a charm, especially for scrambled eggs. I've always struggled with getting the egg white and yolk blended well together. This tool does the trick. I found it most effective with liquids. Any kind of sauce or salad dressing can be well blended with this tool too." — Austin Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 7. A squeegee-broom contraption with an extendable handle, in case you've ever had the urge to rake the inevitable fallen hair from your carpet. Prepare yourself — you might be shocked you have any hair left on your head at all when you see how much you pull up from the rug. Check out our full review of the pet hair broom for more deets. Promising review:"I have two dogs — a terrier mix and a short-hair dachshund mix. I have a navy woven couch that LOVES my dachshund's fur. I have tried pretty much everything to get the fur out — traditional lint roller, those blue fuzzy lint rollers, special vacuum attachments, etc. The terrier's fur comes out great with all of those options. The dachshund's fur, much like the dachshund herself, remains stubbornly on my couch. I got this product as the new 'let's see if it works' item of the month with low expectations. THE FUR ACTUALLY CAME OUT, GUYS. It acts like a broom for my couch — sweeping the fur (with some elbow grease) basically onto the floor where I vacuum it up! Give this a try if my story sounds pretty similar to yours!" — Janielle Get it from Amazon for $20.40 (available in three styles and various sets). 8. A standing weeder (without the chemicals!) for anyone with a bad back who still wants an award-worthy lawn. Amazon Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy. Grampa's Weeder is a small business! Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it on Amazon for $39.97. 9. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that'll fantastically suck up all the dust and debris you sweep its way — Rosie from The Jetsons is shaking!!! Amazon Promising review:"This is my second EyeVac. I use it in my salon. It is very difficult to sweep up tiny fragments of hair with a regular dustpan and broom. The eyevac eliminates that problem- all the small particles are sucked into the machine. And it is quite easy to dump out when it is full!" — Christy Palmer Get it from Amazon for $174+ (available in five colors) 10. A Baby Shusher because even though it may seem silly to buy a gadget that literally makes a sound you can make on your own for free, you'll be happy to have it come 2 a.m. when you're exhausted and *really* not in the mood to continue 'shhh'ing repeatedly. The Baby Shusher is safe to use in a crib, has adjustable volume, and it can be set to make noise for 15- or 30-minute intervals. Additionally, it comes from a small business. Promising review:" I was so tired of 'shushing.' Literally, I shushed so hard and for so long, it made me light-headed. My baby has serious FOMO and fights naps like the plague. This helps so much! Even during the worst fits, this helps calm her, and she's out in minutes. Great for the car too!" — Jami Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 11. A Better Breader Bowl — a container designed to make seasoning meat or veggies a cinch. All you have to do is add your bread crumbs/seasoning into one section and your meat/veggies to another then shake, shake, shake! Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Breading anything makes such a mess in my kitchen, but I absolutely loved being able to do everything in one container. I only tried a dry rub, but I was so impressed with how evenly it coated. Plus being dishwasher safe was a major bonus. Seriously considering getting some for gifts" — Susanne C. Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 12. Sticky insect traps to catch unwanted pests trying to feed off your plants and buzz annoyingly around your apartment. Toss your fly swatter in the garbage. You won't be needing it anymore. GreenKeeper is a small business! Promising review:"So lately the little flies have gotten out of control inside my home. If I put a drink down within minutes I had little flies in my drink. Ordered these babies and within an hour there were lot of flies stuck on them. Next day double the amount, by day three I hardly see any fly movement. Highly recommend these. There are so many in the package I have only used six and they are still sticky and trapping more of these little buggers." — Kelli Silva Get them from Amazon for $4.49+ (available in a variety of shapes and quantities). 13. A wireless remote kit that'll make turning on anything else you hook up to 'em a breeze. Hook 'em up to the lamp in your room so you don't have to get out of bed to turn it on/off. Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely love these! In my apartment I strung Christmas lights around the top of my bedroom and then did the same in my living room and kitchen. It makes my apartment so much cozier and bright without even having to turn on the overhead. I hated having to plug and unplug them though. When I found out about these, it made life so much easier. I could easily turn the living room ones on as the sunset to brighten up my room, and then if I moved to the kitchen my lights could come on or into my bedroom. And I could shut them off from the other room too. The controller does not have to be directly aimed at the receiver or unblocked. It works just fine from anywhere in my apartment even across doors." — Brianna Curtis Get a pack of three from Amazon for $28.08. 14. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets to toss into your dishwasher and easily get rid of that yucky smell that seems to appear after a few washes — it'll banish lime and mineral build-up and leave your dishes nice 'n' clean. Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual! Promising review: "This was simple to use, smelled good, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the dishwasher after the recommended cleaning cycle. This product actually did what it advertises that it will do! Great results, fairly economical — and by the way — it works!" — Old Southern Charm Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. 15. A deep exfoliating shower back scrubber that'll become your most cherished shower companion — no more awkwardly stretching to try and scrub your back! It's super soothing and gently scrubs away dead skin. Amazon Dermasuri is a small business that specializes in skincare and personal care products. Check out a TikTok of the back scrubber in action. Promising review: "I used this back scrubber the day after it arrived, and I love it. Finally, I have an easy-to-use and more effective way to scrub my back. I saw the dead skin fall to the shower floor. Wow! And it easily rinsed cleaned, too." — Naomi M. Get it from Amazon for $18.79. 16. A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's hair. From BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes: " I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside." Promising review: "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." — Meowser Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 17. A baseboard and molding cleaning tool you can use to scrub away the dust and grime that somehow congregates on one of the hardest-to-reach spots in your home — save your knees and tidy up with this handy dandy addition to your lineup. Amazon Promising review:"One of the best cleaning tools I own in my home. I use it for everything I need to dust. Not just for baseboards anymore!! Plus, it can be washed and air dried!! Love my Baseboard Buddy!! The pole is long enough that you can even use to to do your fan blades. 😉 The pads are super absorbent, and you can even add a touch of soap and a couple of drops of water or cleaner for those troubled areas as well. I highly recommend this product!!" — Lori Sitzler Get it from Amazon for $26.99. 18. A glasses lens cleaner that'll have you tossing your microfiber cloth out the window. (Don't actually, that's littering.) It uses carbon microfiber tech to polish up your glasses beautifully and without getting even more fingerprint on the lenses. Amazon Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses every day and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in ten styles). 19. A game-changing Snap N' Strain you can use with any pot or bowl. Just think of how much space you'll save in your already crowded kitchen cabinets! It also has a spout so you can control how much liquid you pour out, and its compact design won't take up much storage space! Promising review:"Typically, I am not a fan of one-trick kitchen utensils. But this thing is a game changer!! Regular strainers are clunky and take up too much space, plus pouring scalding hot liquid into them with heavy food splashing around is dangerous and messy. This eliminates that. Seriously, how have I lived my life without this? I remember making a very large and heavy batch of soup stock, and it was difficult enough to just lift the pot and pour, let alone safely into a strainer that could easily move or tip over if I poured too quickly…but this baby made the transfer so easy it's almost laughable that anyone would use a normal strainer these days! It's sturdy, it stays in place, it's small, lightweight, won't rust, easy to clean, doesn't burn your hands after being submersed in liquid fire. What else could you ask for in a strainer? Enough already, just buy it!" — Kellu Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors). 20. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, which smells so freakin' good you might just get distracted from how wonderfully it works! All you'll have to do is spray it onto caked on food and grease, wait a lil', then rinse or wipe it away to reveal a perfectly clean pan. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! Promising review:"This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean. I always have back ups never run out. RUN, DON'T WALK, TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." — Carlos G Get it from Amazon for $16.88 for a bundle. It's also available in an apple scent. 21. A divided hamper that'll keep your lights/darks separate, so you won't have to spend any more time than necessary doing the laundry. Amazon There's even detachable mesh bags inside so you can scoop your clothes right up and into the washing machine. Promising review:"It does its job. It was exactly how it was pictured. It's very well made and makes the bathroom look great. It has a nice flat top to put things on the hamper when it is closed. Unfortunately this hamper does not do laundry or put clothes in itself." — Chris T. Get it from Amazon for $39.96+ (available in seven colors). 22. A Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier you likely saw on Shark Tank and thought "Wow, that's exactly what is missing from my life." Clip it onto your bags (it can lift up to 80 pounds!) sling 'em over your shoulder and be on your merry way. Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors). 23. An electric potato peeler to help you transform spuds into mashed potatoes at record speed. If for some bizarre reason you *don't* want potatoes with every meal, it'll also work on other fruits 'n' veggies like like apples and kiwis. Promising review:"Love it! It's light and easy to use. When I use a potato peeler I was always peeling too much potato with the peel. This blade is fine and only gets the skin, in seconds. Except for the 'poles' of the potato, but I don't mind. It's easy to clean if you have a sprayer to just rinse off the spikes where you insert your potatoes. Small enough and doesn't take up much room." — yestfl Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 24. And an amazing cheese grater that'll have you volunteering to bring mac and cheese for every potluck from here on out — it has the ability to grate an entire block of cheese in under a minute!!! It can also grate vegetables and nuts, in case you were wondering. Check it out in this TikTok video to see it work its magic. Promising review: "The one I received was sharp enough to get the job done! I shred a large head of cabbage in less than five minutes, counting clean-up! Shreds potatoes just as quick with peels on, or thin slices just as easy! Cheese I would partly freeze before shredding as it will get a little gummy the warmer it gets! Clean counter suction works great. I lightly dampened, dried, placed on counter, holds real strong! Oh, I also slice a cored apple in no time!" — Macy S. Get it from Amazon for $24.69+ (available in 11 colors and two styles). 25. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner you can use to clean your shower with the least amount of effort ever — seriously, you just leave it for the day then rinse it off and enjoy how sparkly and clean the glass will be! Amazon Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring on the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing), and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance and ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 26. A pack of duster sponges you can simply dampen then start attacking all the various dusty surfaces in your home — the dust and pet hair on your baseboards, coffee table, end tables, etc don't stand against this genius lil' cleaning tool. BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer is a fan, "I bought a pack of these recently, and so far love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!" Promising review: "I had low expectations for this. But I'm really happy to find that they do work really well for a much better price than the name brand. It's pretty much the same as the name brand damp duster except that the grooves are slightly wider. Dusted tops and fronts of my cabinets in about five minutes, but I'm most impressed with how well it removes pet hair from my couch and clothes even better than sticky rollers. I have Pomeranians blowing out their winter undercoats, so it's my new fav thing." — onon Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in five color packs). 27. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. I've literally told every single parent or parent-to-be in my life that THIS machine is what's keeping me going — it is the light of my life (next to my kids, of course). The number one item I simply could not live without is the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Literally I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life over the last few years. It's essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It has the capability of mixing formula with the proper amount of water and dispensing it at the *perfect* temperature for baby. It has a button on it so I can easily choose how many ounces I want for a bottle, depending on how recently the baby has eaten sometimes we need only need 2 oz instead of 4 oz, etc. The bottle settings will stay in place so while my baby is screaming (she gets hangry!) I just have to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the 'start' button. It's so easy I can literally do it with one hand while holding her. The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I just do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needs to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I have to do is ensure the formula container is filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we don't have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen while bleary-eyed and half asleep in the middle of the night. It really is a godsend and I don't know what I'd do without it! Get it from Amazon for $192.99. 28. A baby butt spatula you'll either laugh or cringe at but will thank your lucky stars that you thought to purchase it when you see how much nicer it is to apply diaper cream to your baby's booty with it instead of your finger. Both my mom and my mother-in-law poked fun at me for getting this lil' spatula but I have ZERO regrets. I love my kids more than life itself, but I am more than pleased to not have to put my finger in their butts after they've recently pooped and I think that is OKAY! I'd like to think they're also happier to have a lil' spatula do the job ANYWAYS! That being said, this lil' tool is fantastic as it's super easy to clean, doesn't waste any product, and suctions onto my changing table with ease. Promising review:"If I could give this little tool 10 out of 5 stars I would!!! It makes the whole process of applying diaper rash ointment SOOOOO much easier. And this thing cuts down on how much diaper rash ointment is wasted because your fingers are not getting covered in ointment. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone with a baby!!!" — Hazel-91 Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 29. A Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, because why not add another gadget into the mix? This magical machine washes, sterilizes, AND dries bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam. Take it from someone who genuinely knows — this will save you SO much time so you can do one of the other million things on your to-do list instead of hangin' out with a bottle brush. When I had my first child I used the Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer, which is absolutely fantastic, but still had to hand wash and scrub the bottles before popping them into the machine. This new FANTASTIC model takes that completely out of the equation. I got it before having my daughter and it has truly changed my life — not an exaggeration. I haven't used a bottle brush ONCE and she's almost 8 months old! It has six different cleaning modes, but I always use the 88-minute one that does all three features. The only somewhat downside is you'll need to purchase detergent tablets, but I promise you it's worth it. Here's what you'll need to do: fill the front partition of the machine with your bottles/nipples (or pump parts, whatever) and drop the detergent tablet into the bottom. Next, empty any water from previous cycles from the water basin and replace it back in the machine. Finally, fill the top container with clean (I used filtered) water up to the max line mark, then pop that back in as well. Choose which cycle you want to run and, BOOM, you're done! The whole water dumping/refilling process probably takes about...... five minutes? It is a bit bulky, so rather than keep ours in the kitchen we leave on top of our washing machine. It's also worth noting it holds four bottles at once, so we typically need to run it twice a day. TL;DR: It's a miracle machine. Get it from Amazon for $299.99. 30. Wad-Free, which attaches to the corners of your sheets to help them dry faster, without wrinkles, and prevent them from turning into a hungry monster that swallows up your socks for all of eternity. Plus, they're BPA-free, reusable, and created by a small business during the pandemic. Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It's a little on the expensive side IMO, and that's kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." — StrangerThings Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99. 32. A robotic vacuum, because you and I both know you don't want to spend a weekend morning trying to conquer all of the pet hair, debris, and other unexplainable messes that have found their way into your home. Kick your feet up, put on a podcast, and let this lil' gadget do its thing. This robotic vacuum can easily move between hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpets/rugs and can pick up all the accumulated dust, dirt, and hair while you go about your day. It has an infrared sensor to avoid knocking into obstacles (like furniture and walls) and drop-sensing tech so it won't fall down stairs and off ledges. And if it starts to run low on battery, it'll just return to its base for a recharge! Reviewers do recommend keeping stray items like socks and cords off the floor before running this. Promising review:"This robot vacuum is incredible! I have three dogs and a cat; this vacuum is a time saver. I run it each day, and it has done an incredible job of keeping pet hair, dirt, and debris picked up in my home. Works well on carpet, hardwood, and tile floors. Wish I had purchased it sooner!" — t. hampton Get it from Amazon for $229.98+ (also available in three other models). 33. And a Dyson WashG1 wet cleaner — one of their latest innovations that'll be an investment worth making. It magically glides across hard floors and thoroughly removes debris, stains, hair (!!!) and other liquids with just water (though you can add detergent if you'd like). You'll be amazed to see how dirty the water becomes in the tank while you clean! Dyson / Via I have this bad boy and lemme tell you — it is worth every single penny. Yes, it's pricey, but my home is primarily tile and wood floors and I have two little kids (who basically love on said floors). It uses microfiber rollers to clean and does so so well you'd think there was some sort of magic involved in the making of it. You don't need to do repeated passes to see results — the water in the bottom tank turned so dark my husband and I were horrified (as we mop and vacuum regularly!). After his first try my husband said, "Goodbye, mop!" It's lightweight, which is a huge perk, and the LCD screen lets you select various hydration levels and tells you how much battery time is left. Personally, my favorite highlight is that even though it is a functioning mop of sorts that uses water to clean my floors don't stay wet for very long at all. You can literally walk over the spots you cleaned moments later! It also cleans itself, which is fantastic. Definitely worth the splurge. Get it from Amazon for $679.

35 Products For Anyone Who Plans To Be Less Of A Mess This Year
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 · You'll wonder why you waited so long to get slow cooker liners. 1. A bag of FryAway cooking oil solidifier — a seemingly magical substance you can sprinkle on top of your grease-coated pan and watch as it turns to a solid. No more waiting ages for it to cool, having to grossly scrape it out of your pan with a paper towel, or accidentally clogging your pipes. FryAway is a US-based small business specializing in planet-friendly cooking waste solutions. Promising review: "I will always keep this stocked in my house! My husband sent me a TikTok, I know, I know, and I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out. I lovedit after the first night! I could easily remove the hardened oil and throw it out." — Roberta Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 2. A drink organizer and dispenser that'll help you live out your dreams of transforming your fridge into a majestic beverage haven (you know, just like the ones in convenience stores that seemingly have every drink known to man). Would it be so awful to fill the entire thing with Diet Cokes? Promising review: "Love these! For someone who must have organization, these are the best. Easy to put together and great quality. Would buy again." — Jacqueline Bice Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes) 3. Cleaning putty that'll help you remove all the dust and debris from the hard-to-reach crevices in your car. Psh, and to think you were going to PAY someone to clean out your car. Amazon Check it out on TikTok here. Promising review:"This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product on TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. It's also great for the though screen in my car! The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn't last, just when it's out of the container!" — Loren Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 4. A car vent dip clip because eating fries while you're in a parked car just tastes better and you shouldn't have to sacrifice your favorite dipping sauce to do so! Thanks to this lil' clip you really can have it all. Saucemoto is a small business! Promising review:"Very useful! I love that the cup is removable so if you have one of those giant Chick-Fil-A ketchup cups, it can sit within the holder without the added cup, but a smaller sauce like from Wendy's can sit inside the additional cup so it won't fall through." — catherine Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes, and four colors). 5. A unique satin-lined Hairbrella designed to help protect your luscious locks from the elements — we're looking at YOU rain, snow, and humidity. Amazon Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business established in 2016 that specializes in hats combining fashion and function to protect against all types of weather. Promising review: "Awesome hat, a must-have for hairdos. I get my hair done often and don't want to destroy a great hairdo. I have been out in a rainstorm and taken it on the log ride into the splash down, hair stayed nice and dry. Love it so much I fold it up and keep it in my purse! It even has a ponytail pouch hidden in it." — applekoolaid Get it from Amazon for $39+ (available in 11 colors). 6. A winged eyeliner stamp if you obsess over makeup tutorials but haven't been able to nail liquid eyeliner just yet. 2025 is the year you FINALLY conquer it. Amazon, Promising review:"Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn to my surprise I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." — LadyMeow Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack). 7. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time. After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I (Heather) finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning. Promising review:"I'm very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard bristle tooth brush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral build up, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it's super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven't tried it on rust yet so we'll see how that goes. Over all very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" — Marissa Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 8. A luggage drink caddy you can attach to your wheeled luggage — it'll become your saving grace when traveling during the busiest times of year. You can use it to hold your Starbies, phone, ID, etc and prevent you from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport. Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it's my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 30 colors). 9. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, which smells so freakin' good you might just get distracted from how wonderfully it works! All you'll have to do is spray it onto caked on food and grease, wait a lil', then rinse or wipe it away to reveal a perfectly clean pan. I use this spray nightly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! Promising review:"This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean. I always have back ups never run out. RUN DON'T WALK TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." — Carlos G Get it from Amazon for $12.25 for a starter pack. 10. A splurge-worthy Dyson Airstrait that'll change the way you straighten your hair forever — it uses directional air flow (no metal plates!) to both dry and straighten your hair in minutes. Seriously, it only took me 10 minutes to do my hair directly from the shower! I've had the pleasure of testing out the Dyson Airstrait and, OMG, what an incredible piece of technology. Yes, I called this "tech" instead of a beauty tool. While it is both of these things, I was amazed by the gadget-ness of it right off the bat. I literally had to select on an LCD screen what language MY STRAIGHTENER should be set Anyways! The Airstrait has the ability to straighten both wet or dry hair — and does without the use of damaging hot plates. It uses directional airflow to smooth and straighten hair and, honestly, it is a pretty magical experience. The biggest learning curve for me was realizing the copper pieces (where the fan lives) need to face outward so you're not blowing your hair all over the place. The fan increases when you clamp the Airstrait around your hair (HOW DOES IT KNOW!?) and pauses entirely when you set it down (seen in the GIF to the left). Additionally, I have a toddler and am very limited on time. With this gadget I was able to take my hair from directly-from-the-shower wet to natural-looking straight hair in only TEN MINUTES. This is going to be such a game changer for my life!!! It's definitely worth the splurge. Get it from Amazon for $499.99 (available in two colors). 11. Or a rotating Beachwaver curling iron featuring the ability to basically curl your hair for you while you stand around watching YouTube videos. Technology these days, man. Beachwaver BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers! She said: "I've used about every kind of hair styling tool on the planet and had given up on curling irons with clamps. I was fully a curling wand girlie because I'm adept at heat styling and it gave me covetable mermaid waves I wanted. Then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time." Get it from Amazon for $99. 12. Affresh cleaning tablets to toss into your dishwasher and easily get rid of that yucky smell that seems to appear after a few washes — it'll banish lime and mineral build-up and leave your dishes nice 'n' clean. I have these tablets and use them all the time! They work especially great after the bottom of my dishwasher has gotten stained with residue from detergent or rusty-looking liquid after I've run my baking sheets through the wash. I love knowing I can just pop one into the dishwasher 1, 2, 3, and end up with a clean machine. Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" — Sheila Get it from Amazon for $7.49. 13. And a box of washing machine cleaning tablets that'll easily remove any odor-causing residue from inside your machine — you don't want your clothes to smell, do ya? You can use this product on both front-load and top-load washing machines. I (Heather) ran it through the old washing machine that was left in my new house (beggars can't be choosers!) and it came out nice and clean. Promising review:"Works great. My washer started smelling like sour clothes. In turn, my clothes were smelling sour as well. I plopped an Affresh Tab in the washer and let it do its magic. After it was done I opened the washer and to my surprise there was no smell at all. This is a six-pack so buy one box for half a year or two boxes, and only have to order once per year. Definitely recommend." — jcski Get a box of five from Amazon for $11.39 (also available in a six-pack). 14. A slow cooker liners, because who wants to ruin the warm, cozy day they've curated with the unpleasant task of cleaning out their Crock-Pot? With the addition of these lovely liners you can simply toss it, wipe down your appliance, and get back to enjoying your evening. Amazon These liners fit 3 quarts–8 quarts. Promising review:"I will never NOT have some on hand. These things are a lifesaver (and time saver). Great quality and thickness. They don't rip easily if I accidentally scrape with a fork. Highly recommend!!" — Erin M Get a pack of 48 from Amazon for $29.52. 15. A set of clip-on dip bowls that'll transform any plate into a snack party — fill 'em with salsa alongside chips, ketchup with chicken fingers, ranch dressing paired with veggies... you catch my drift. Amazon Promising review:"These dip cups are easy to attach to your plates, filled with your favorite dipping sauces. No worries about them slipping off as they're sturdy. They're also dishwasher safe." — LJ Williams Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 16. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner you can use to clean your shower with the least amount of effort ever — seriously, you just leave it for the day then rinse it off and enjoy how sparkly and clean the glass will be! Amazon Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring on the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing), and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance and ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 17. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment — it'll revive your hair in case you haven't had a chance to book a salon appointment but your locks need a *quick* fix. Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." — Therese-Claire Get it from Amazon for $7.60. And check out our full Elizavecca CER-100 collagen protein treatment review. 18. E.l.f's brand new Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara you'll be racing to add to your cart after seeing reviewer photos. It features a lightweight tubing technology that magically wraps around lashes, transforming them from *drab to fab* without taking away from your natural look. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan with a capital F, " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 19. A decorative jar filled with 135 matches (you can strike 'em on the bottom!) so you can stop hunting around your junk drawer for that lil' matchbook you pocketed the last time you were out at a bar. Amazon Promising review:"Beautiful to display and the matches work great! I've bought other decorative matches and the striker or matches haven't worked well — this one is perfect!" — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $23.99. 20. A wall-mounted coat rack to serve as both a lovely lil' piece of wall decor and lend a helpful hand to hang your accessories — as if you needed another excuse to buy a new coat. Check out a TikTok of the coat rack in action. Promising review:"I bought one and was so in love with it that I immediately ordered a second one. I love the design when not is use, and when it use it is sturdy and versatile. I get a lot of compliments from visitors." — Femke Get it from Amazon for $49.98+ (available in four colors). 21. A divided hamper that'll keep your lights/darks separate so you won't have to spend any more time than necessary doing the laundry. Amazon There's even detachable mesh bags inside so you can scoop your clothes right up and into the washing machine. Promising review:"It does its job. It was exactly how it was pictured. It's very well made and makes the bathroom look great. It has a nice flat top to put things on the hamper when it is closed. Unfortunately this hamper does not do laundry or put clothes in itself." — Chris T. Get it from Amazon for $39.96+ (available in five colors and two pack sizes). 22. Airtight food storage containers that'll quickly become one of your favorite kitchen accessories — they'll keep a variety of items like beans, cookies, candies, and dried pasta fresh and organized. The set also comes with labels so you can easily see what's inside each container. Promising review:"I'm not sure how necessary these are…but I LOVE them! I store uncooked noodles, snacks, cereal, uncooked rice, croutons, etc. in these. I feel like my pantry is more aesthetically pleasing and definitely more organized. These stack well with each other and save me space from oddly shaped boxes and bags I would have in my pantry without them. I don't really know the benefit of having 'airtight containers' but I love the organization it offers and the food I store never tastes stale. For foods that need to be cooked (noodles, rice, etc.), I wrote the basic directions on the black stickers. I also used the stickers for the expiration dates of the food I store. I throw the containers in the dishwasher and clean the lids by hand. I'll definitely be getting more in the future!" — Jess Get a set of seven from Amazon for $21.84+ (available in two colors). 23. A Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier you likely saw on Shark Tank and thought "Wow, that's exactly what is missing from my life." Clip it onto your bags (it can lift up to 80 pounds!) sling 'em over your shoulder and be on your merry way. Amazon, Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors). 24. Retro-inspired notepads that aren't sticky, so you can quickly write down a reminder to pick up milk on the way home and throw it into your bag without fear of it coming out covered in crumbs and debris. Gross. These are a popular pick on TikTok — you can get a closer look at them here! Promising reviews: "They are so cute. Will be purchasing again! Giving my office area character, color, and good vibes. Happy customer!!!" — Capri "These aren't sticky notes, just memo pads so if you're looking for sticky notes, you might want to pass on these. However, these are SO CUTE! They come in five different styles that are all well printed. The colors are great, and the paper is good. Not super thin or anything. There's a good number of each design in the pad, so I feel like the quality and value is definitely there. I am now using these on the daily! 10/10 love these!!" — Mary M. Get a set of five from Amazon for $7.99. 25. A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's hair. From BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes: " I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside." Promising review: "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." — Meowser Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 26. Pretty in pink desk accessories to transform your desk from "hot mess" to "oh, yes!" The set comes with everything you could possibly need to keep your space nicely organized. Amazon Each set includes a pen cup, mail organizer caddy, paper tray, magazine holder, and sticky note holder. Blu Monaco is a small business that sells organizational products. Promising review:"I fell in love with this set the moment it came out of the box. It is sturdy, well-made and definitely worth the price. My living room is all pink and I just inherited my grandmother's writing desk so this fit in beautifully. I am a writer and like to make my writing space as inviting and lovely as possible. This desk set helps me keep my papers, mail, note pad, writing journals, and pens beautifully organized. Worth every cent." — MRS Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in six colors). 27. A magnetic bobby pin and hair clip holder that'll help you keep your bathroom counter organized once and for all — no more rummaging around in your drawers trying to find a bobby pin while holding your hair up at the same time. Promising review:"Anyone with lots of hair knows it takes quite a few bobby pins to hold it all in place. This product holds them all with a strong magnet, while still allowing easy grabbing. Much better than storing them loose or in a container." — Janae C. Schaft Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). 28. A set of simple picture frames you can fill with your favorite printed photos (how chic would they look in black and white?!) or with art prints you've had your eye on foreverrrrr. Promising review:"First, I love that the front is not glass. The frames are lightweight, so it gives me flexibility when hanging. They're nice frames and I'm glad I bought them. They are now displaying my favorite artwork pieces my children have brought to me from school." — Amazon Customer Get a set of five from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in seven colors and 19 sizes). 29. An iridescent mini shelf that'll have you belting out "Levels" by Nick Jonas while you strategically organize your nail polish, sunglasses, whatever! Promising review:"These are in great shape and perfect as sunglasses shelves. I used a level, and they were easy to install. I highly recommend these and will probably buy more!" — Samantha G. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors). 30. A Michael Scott reversible dishwasher magnet to make loading/unloading just a bit more fun — I dare you not to giggle to yourself while thinking about what unfathomable things "Prison Mike" might shout about your dishes. Promising review: "My whole family is a fan of The Office, so when I was searching for a magnet we could use on our dishwasher, this was the hands-down winner. Does it go with my farmhouse decor? Nope, not at all. But it does get the attention of two teenage boys. Had I gone with something a bit more my decor style, I can guarantee you it would not be as useful. I mean, we all would much rather see Prison Mike staring back at us than suit and tie Michael Scott, right? And there is only one way for that to out the dishwasher!" — R. Funk Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 31. Fancy reusable dispenser bottles you can fill with your favorite shampoo, conditioner, and body wash while also curating a spa-like vibe for your bathroom! No more mixed and totally nonmatching bottles creating eyesores in the midst of your go-to relaxation spot. Maisonovo is a small business that sells home goods. Promising review: "I love these bottles. They make everything uniform and high-end looking for a fraction of the price. They hold up amazing. I bought another set for my second bathroom." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $27.90+ (available in seven colors). 33. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner to save your butt the next time you heat sauce and it explodes all over (oops). Fill her with vinegar and water and watch as she blows hot steam into your microwave oven to loosen up all the old food and stains. Wipe it clean and move on with your life! Promising review:"I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors). 34. A Clorox ToiletWand you can use and then toss away — say SEE YA' to that gross toilet brush hiding in the corner of your bathroom. It'll leave your toilet smelling fresh as a daisy, since there is Clorox literally built right into it. Amazon I own and cherish this product. It's a dream knowing the "brush" is fresh and hasn't been intimate with the inside of my toilet prior to my picking it up again. This set comes with the wand and 16 refills. Promising review:"The primary reason I decided to purchase the Clorox Toilet Wand was so I could clean under my toilet rims, which I noticed was definitely getting neglected via using the standard toilet brushes to clean. Initially, I was looking for a toilet brush that had the shape needed to actually GET under the rim, and that's how I found out about it. Now that I've used it... I can say without a doubt that'll I'll never go back to a regular brush. I like the cleanliness of the disposable brushes as opposed to a regular toilet brush. And I especially like that I don't have to purchase a second brush with a shape capable of cleaning under the rim, which not only takes up more space, but also would take more time given I'd have to switch back and forth and apply product. With this, I can just clean the entire pot in less than five minutes with the same tool." — Brittney Nelson Get it from Amazon for $20.86. 35. And a Dyson WashG1 wet cleaner — one of their latest innovations that'll be an investment worth making. It magically glides across hard floors and thoroughly removes debris, stains, hair (!!!) and other liquids with just water (though you can add detergent if you'd like). You'll be amazed to see how dirty the water becomes in the tank while you clean! Dyson / Via I have this bad boy and lemme tell you — it is worth every single penny. Yes, it's pricey, but my home is primarily tile and wood floors and I have two little kids (who basically love on said floors). It uses microfiber rollers to clean and does so so well you'd think there was some sort of magic involved in the making of it. You don't need to do repeated passes to see results — the water in the bottom tank turned so dark my husband and I were horrified (as we mop and vacuum regularly!). After his first try my husband said, "Goodbye, mop!" It's lightweight, which is a huge perk, and the LCD screen lets you select various hydration levels and tells you how much battery time is left. Personally, my favorite highlight is that even though it is a functioning mop of sorts that uses water to clean my floors don't stay wet for very long at all. You can literally walk over the spots you cleaned moments later! It also cleans itself, which is fantastic. Definitely worth the splurge. Promising review: "We have had this for a few weeks, and it's really changed our floor game! Just using water, it gets our floors amazingly clean! Easy to use- easy to clean. We have a full house of hard flooring so mopping was always a huge ordeal- that's why we decided to take a chance on this purchase. We have always been a Dyson house though, so it wasn't a huge gamble and worth the money!" — SamM Get it from Amazon for $679 or Dyson for $699.99.

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 · Stop sighing heavily and just try one of these efficient problem-solvers already. 1. A pet hair-removing roller with a patented brush design (and *no* adhesive strips) to rid your lovely black sofa of all your furry friend's shedding in a quick roll — so you can get back to cuddling together. Promising review:"I don't usually write reviews, but if I could buy stock in the ChomChom I would! This is incredible. I immediately started using it on blankets, cat tree, towels that the cats lay on, bed skirt, every cloth or soft surface that the cats touch and TONS of fur started coming off! It's simple and easy, no sticky paper that barely does anything. The design is ingenious! It's a roller that goes back and forth about a one-quarter turn, so you have to go one direction, then back, and that simple motion not only picks up ALL the hair, but then removes it from the outer part of the roller and deposits it in the interior. When you open the back to reveal the interior, there's all the hair all bunched up! Like freakin' magic! I cannot wait to start cleaning every surface again once I finally cleaned it once. Allergies were going nuts and after picking up all this dust and fur I'm hopeful that will go a long way to feel better. Best product I've bought in years, I cannot believe that the reviews were so darn accurate! Get! This! Product!" — Joshua A. Flanders Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 2. FryAway, a plant-based solidifying powder capable of turning leftover cooking oil into an easily disposable solid, so you *don't* end up pouring grease down the sink and dealing with clogged pipes later on. And it hardens completely, meaning no leaking in the trash! Amazon Just sprinkle a packet of the power into your *hot* oil, wait for it to cool toss! FryAway is available in three sizes: Pan Fry (which comes with four packets, each capable of solidifying two cups of oil each), Deep Fry (which comes with two packets, each capable of solidifying eight cups of oil each), and Super Fry (which is just a large packet with a scoop you can portion out as needed — in total it solidifies up to 20 cups of oil). Promising review:"Honestly I didn't know if this would work, waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." — Emma Get the Deep Fry size from Amazon for $9.97. FryAway is a woman-owned and Latina-owned small business, and they donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation. 3. An exfoliating First Aid Beauty Bump eraser body scrub reviewers with KP (aka keratosis pilaris) swear by to get rid of those tiny red bumps, without slathering on any additional creams or products — just use in the shower instead of your regular soap. It contains 10% glycolic and lactic acids and has tiny pumice exfoliants to buff away dead skin for smooooooooooth arms. Promising review:"Amazing product! I've suffered with KP on my arms for 15 years and nothing helped. This product didn't just help, it completely cleared it away! I noticed a big difference after just one use and a month later of using it 2 times a week my arms are smooth and I'm no longer embarrassed of them. I'm so excited! This product has changed my life!" — Sherrie Ruiz Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in five sizes). 4. A pack of AirPod cleaners, because how often do you put your headphones riiiight in your ear without even looking at them 👀? These remove any dirt, earwax, or other gunk that's accumulated on your AirPods — and can even improve the sound and how quickly your phone pairs with them! Did YOU know that wax can block the pairing sensors?? Neither did I! And btw, these work great on any hard-to-clean small spaces. Promising review:"Great stuff that absolutely works! I had been using plugin headphones because my old iPhone 6S was getting old and I was having difficulty hearing from the speakers. I heard about this from a friend and it's like I have a new phone! Worked immediately. Sound and clarity like before. I can't believe how easy it was to use and the great difference it makes. Thanks!" — Bridget S Get 24 from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a 12-pack). 5. A sleek mini travel umbrella that not only is perfectly compact for everyday use *and* travel, but also comes with a handy carrying case, so you can pop it right in your bag when the showers are (finally!) over without getting the rest of your stuff wet. Promising review:"Bought this cheap, lightweight umbrella for an autumn trip to Edinburgh. It worked perfectly!! It was really windy there, and it did pop inside-out a few times, but I just pushed it back into place. The pod holder is really great for folding it up when wet and keeping your bag safe from it!" — Lynn Thompson Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 20 colors). 6. Stank Stix, athletic gear inserts (they were on Shark Tank, y'all!) that absorb moisture, eliminate odors (they're also lightly scented with essential oils), and can help reduce odor-causing bacteria growth. Amazon And yes, Lauri did invest in this small, woman-owned biz! You can use 'em in shoes, gym bags, gloves and more — and you can simply replace the insert ($10.99 for a two-pack) every couple of months! Promising review: "We purchased these for our son's soccer cleats that smelled like cat pee and a dead buffalo that has been eaten, puked up and eaten again and then that animal died and a buzzard ate it and then pooped it WERE HORRIBLE!!! The ninja ShoeStix's worked GREAT!!! WILL BE BUYING MORE for our daughters dance shoes!!!" — Matthew Parker Promising review: "These ShoeStix have been amazing. I didn't think anything could help with the awful cat urine like smell emanating from my son's soccer cleats, but these inserts have done the trick. Now if you put your nose in the shoe, yes, it will still still smell pretty bad. But they no longer make the entire house smell like cleats and I can now leave the shoes in the house or in the car and not feel the urge to puke. We also use them for my daughter's volleyball shoes and kneepads. If you've ever experienced the stench that exists once a volleyball player removes the kneepads, then you know the pain I experience multiple times a week. Just put the ShoeStix inside the kneepads and put them inside a closed plastic bag and let the Stix do their magic. Definitely worth the money." — K Terry Get a set (you can detach the handle to separate the two) from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors). 7. A Neutrogena makeup-removing gel pen so you can easily remove errant eyeliner or mascara marks (even waterproof!) so you can perfect your everyday cat eye or experimental graphic liner look and STILL get out the door on time. Promising review:"Why didn't someone think of this sooner? For years, I've been using Q-tips dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. A must-buy product!!" — Katherine Get it from Amazon for $6.03 (also available in a two-pack). 8. A hair bonding treatment you can leave on for as little as 15 minutes (or as much as overnight if you wish) to help strengthen and condition hair in just one use. Reviewers swear by it to help the look of their split ends and dry, damaged hair. Like Olaplex, it's a rebonding treatment to help repair heat or chemical damage. Promising review:"I love this stuff! I was initially looking for Olaplex and came across this so I thought I would give it a try. I have been trying to grow out my hair but the ends become dry and easily damaged, so every time it grows I just need to cut it again. I was about to cut it when I got this in the mail and tried it. It was amazing! Gave my hair that fresh cut look and feel, added tons of shine back in and made it feel so healthy. This is a game changer for me!" — mmsmco Promising review: "This stuff is amazing ! I believe the last bleaching on my 4C hair I fried it. But after using this tonight, my hair feels so smooth and my curl pattern is back ! **5 stars**!" — j. kindred Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 9. A pair of fillable paint touch-up pens for a quick way to fix any marks, scratches, or scuffs on your walls or furniture without buying extra cans or breaking out a paintbrush or roller. Slobproof Some reviewers have reported having trouble refilling the pen, but this reviewer has a helpful explanation of how to refill them. Reviewers also say these are *great* for ensuring crisp lines when working with stencils! Promising review:"How did I ever live without these?! I had these in my cart forever but the price seemed a bit high for what they are. Finally on an impulse I pulled the trigger and bought them. I'm now kicking myself for not doing it sooner. These are fantastic!!! They make small fixes a breeze, especially when two paint colors butt up next to each other at a corner. The brush fibers are great are great and smoothly put the paint in the exact spot. I had even tried buying artists brushes for touchups in the past but they never worked well and I no longer need to pull out the whole can to do one tiny touch up. I have these locked and loaded with every paint color in my house and am ready to go." — AAG338 Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a five-pack). 10. A SockDock, aka a useful tool you can clip dirty socks to (in pairs!), toss the *whole thing* in the washer and dryer, and remove together so NO SOCK gets lost. And you're not stuck searching for a pair when you're already running late. Amazon Promising review:"Totally obsessed with this! I've been using it a few weeks now and have zero complaints! I haven't lost a single sock since! They always come out paired and completely dried (which was one of my concerns, I wasn't sure if they were going to dry properly) I would defiantly recommend this! It's amazing and makes life so much easier! Specially with a toddler and baby on the way!" — Sarah Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors). 11. A razor protector (it fits all standard men's and women's razors) to prevent rust and corrosion and keep your blades sharper for longer, so you don't have to waste money on replacements again and again and again. Amazon It helps your razor dry between uses, stretches to fit, and protects the blade when you're traveling — making your razor last up to THREE TIMES longer. Each SteelBee lasts for up to two years! Promising review:"This was a great find! I wanted to test this for myself, so I put two razors in the shower with one having the Steelbee. I shaved every other with each razor and within weeks I could tell a big difference. The razor without the Steelbee has rust spots and is much duller. All of the razors in the house will now be using this. I even used this on my most recent business trip last week and it doubled as a great travel protector." — Rob May Get it from Amazon for $12.99. SteelBee is a small business entirely focused on this product — and btw, it fits all standard razors! 12. A hair-smoothing gel cream stick (it's like a mascara wand!) to control any pesky flyaways for a sleeker updo — without making your roots look dirty or greasy. Promising review:"I was skeptical of products like this, but I figured it was cheap enough to try. I'm SO glad I did! I always have what I call "fluh fluhs" coming out of the part on my head and no matter how many times I wet them down they stick straight up again. This product sticks them down and they stay down! The only caution I would give is that there's a little learning curve of how hard to press the wand to your hair. I find that I need a very light touch or I get too much of the product in my hair, which then looks a little greasy. If you wipe the brush as you pull it out you should be ok — just like mascara! Great buy!" — tinytuff Get it from Amazon for $6.79. 13. Or an edge control gel to style your baby hairs *without* flaking or annoying residue. It's even formulated with argan and castor oils! BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they way want to! Check out, " Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." Promising review:"Hands down! The best edge control I have ever used and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and non greasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" — Seabea2013 Get it from Amazon for $4.60+ (available in seven sizes). 14. Naturium's 2% BHA leave-on liquid exfoliant, which works to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, so your skin *glows*, with reduced breakouts and less visible pores with one easy swipe. And you'll save money on the cult-fave Paula's Choice liquid exfoliant, which does the same thing but for almost two times the price! Amazon Promising review:"The key to clear skin! This is the best thing I've ever bought for my face on Amazon. Trust me when I say YOU NEED THIS in your face routine. I've tried so, so many things, and nothing has worked. I tried Paula's Choice BHA, and it does not compare to how much better this is. This dries on without any greasy feeling. It literally cleared my face overnight. I was starting to get acne and this literally cleared my complexion. I've had acne due to stress lately and this has been my savior! My face is unbelievably smooth and clear of acne. Even my dark spots are fading and I've only been using it for one week. My face literally glows! If you have any doubts like I did, just buy it. You will not regret it:)" — Diana V Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 15. A Revlon one-step drying brush (now with an upgraded motor) with a unique oval-shaped barrel so you can get super close to your scalp for smooth hair and majorly boosted volume at the roots without having to juggle a brush and blow-dryer. It's designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2b–4c hair mentioned it working for them. Promising review: "I never write product reviews, but this brush is amazing! I have curly/wavy hair that is past my shoulders, but very fine. If I don't blow dry and straighten it right away it gets very curly and frizzy and has always been a pain to blow-dry and flat iron. I have never been very good at blow-drying with a round brush and have always relied on the flat iron to get my hair smooth after drying. With this brush, I can let my hair air dry for a bit, and then use this, and I don't need to use the flat iron at all. My hair looks so full and bouncy that several people have asked me if I just got my hair done. Honestly, with this brush, it looks better than when my hairdresser blow dries! It is so easy to use and takes way less time to do than blow drying. I haven't tried from wet wet, but today I only let it dry a bit and then used the brush and it was still fast. My only complaint is that the handle is a little big and hard to hold on to, but that is fairly minor. Also, I was worried about it getting tangled in my hair, but so far I have been able to wrap my hair around the brush and not have any issues getting the brush out. I love it!" — Bostonchick Get it from Amazon for $39.88 (available in eight colors). 16. A wad preventer, because balled-up sheets that NEVER seem to actually get dry?? Not on my watch! Who has the time?! This genius invention will keep the corners from getting bunched up to increase your tumble and decrease your dry time. Amazon Just tuck the corners of your flat or fitted sheet into the holes to prevent tangling and twisting aaaand (according to the backed up by reviewers) improve dry time by 75%!!!!!!!! Promising review: "Best purchase! You wouldn't think a small product like this could make a difference, but it makes a world of difference! I am amazed and so glad I found these. Gone are the days of wet clothes being wrapped up in sheets, or having to continuously check the dryer to untangle sheets. I will be purchasing more of these for myself and buying some as gifts!" — Becca Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack). Wad-Free is a small biz, and their products are made in the USA. 17. And for non-sheet loads, a pair of extra large wool dryer balls that'll ensure your laundry dries quicker and gets softer than ever — *25%* faster. Those towels that take FOR-E-VER (The Sandlot voice) to dry? No more. Promising review: "I was excited but skeptical about this product but I just used them for 4 loads of laundry and they are awesome! I would normally have used about 20 dryer sheets but I just used the dryer balls instead. My clothing, towels and sheets came out of the dryer wrinkle free, soft and no static cling. I am buying the lavender essential oil to try. I used to spend quite a bit of money on fabric softeners and fragrance boosters. I am thrilled not to have to add a bunch of chemicals. The scent is lovely and clean even without adding the oil. Best purchase of the year." — mskrippers Get a six-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six styles). Woolzies is a small business, and these dryer balls are made in New Zealand from 100% wool, and they're hypoallergenic and safe for people with wool allergies! For an extra boost of scent, you can add your favorite essential oil to the balls too! 18. A double-ended extension cord for your hardest-to-solve plug-in quandaries. It lets you plug in a total of six items, three on each cord, up to six feet in each direction! If you live in an older building with limited outlets, this is perfect. Cords are 6 feet long and have three plugs each. Promising review:"This was such an awesome and unique idea! I have four front windows on my home that I like to hang Christmas lights in. Instead of having to plug in multiple extension cords, this looked more nicely and worked more efficiently and safely. It was a perfect reach for both sets of lighted images that I put in my windows! This is such a clever idea. Worked great!" — Mad megz Get it from Amazon for $13.88+ (available in black and white). 19. The Crop Top Band, a why-didn't-I-think-of-that elastic band so you can shorten any sweater, tee, or blouse to the perfect length — without having to get it permanently tailored. Promising review: "The Crop Top Band is a helpful accessory to many outfits! It stays in place better than I imagined it would and it kept my shirt tucked all day!" —Alexi B Get it from The Crop Top Band for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL). The Crop Top Band is a woman-owned small biz btw! 20. A leakproof, portable dog water bottle to help keep your pup hydrated and refreshed on long walks — without having to bring along a dog bowl or make a huge mess. Just dispense some water into the handy dandy built-in bowl, and your dog can lap it up with ease. And leftover water? Goes right back in the bottle for the next time they get parched. Promising review: "Best item I have purchased for the dog all year. I saw this on a TikTok video and checked on Amazon and ordered it. My toy poodle loves it and drank out it with no hesitation. With the heat wave we are having in California right now I want to be sure she is well hydrated. Before I leave the house I fill the holder with ice and water and I am set. Easy to clean and no spilled water in the car. Easy to throw in my purse and have it when we are out walking around. I know what people with dogs are getting for Christmas this year." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 21. A pack of duster sponges, because the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster seems to be constantly sold out, and these are totally similar, for less! Just dampen and wipe whatever surface needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface. Just rinse clean, and you're done! I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too! Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic they are perfect and dust free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs). 22. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover for everyone who is just tired of trying to clean those cloudy glass shower doors, spot-covered fixtures, tile and grout, and more. It even works on pools! If you're not convinced, just hear from one reviewer: "Step one: Look at the pictures. Step two: Buy a lifetime supply immediately." Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 23. A handy prefilled notepad so you can create a curated packing list even before you take a single item out. Using this as a guide can be helpful so you don't panic the morning you leave and try to shove in 25 pairs of extra undies and three sweatshirts at the last minute (is this just me??). Amazon Promising review:"I just used this for a recent trip to Florida from California. It made it easier to remember things. I used to have a list, that I made, on my computer to remind me, my husband, and child what to pack. My daughter is out on her own now and my husband passed away recently. So, I just need a list for me. This helped me think of things I NEVER thought to put on my list. It has extra lines for you to add anything extra like crochet project, handicapped parking plaque, etc. It's not too big, but can easily be read. There are boxes to check off as you go and room to add quantity to clothing items. I hope these are ALWAYS available!" — Connie Woods Get this handy notepad from Amazon for $7 (available in two colors, plus a road trip–specific list). 24. Dawn Powerwash, a borderline magical spray-on dish soap that BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes with ease. But it's not just for dishes — if you have a greasy range hood or backsplash, or you want to deep clean your cooktop or grill, this is *perfect* for that, too, cutting through the toughest messes! Amazon Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it! Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." — Kim M. Promising review: " The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44 (available in five scents and other sizes/refills). 25. A pack of silicone pouch lids if your kid LOVES to squeeze pouches all over themselves (and the furniture). What a mess! But no more: this smart lid has a flow-control valve to prevent spills (and a cap to save leftovers). Check out why a mom calls this pouch topper the "coolest thing" in this TikTok. Promising review:"( can only find them in one place in my small upstate New York town and while traveling I accidentally threw one away in the airport. My kid refuses to let anyone feed him with a spoon and won't take the pouch without the nipple. It's the best creation ever and I can't believe it's not in every store in the world. They truly are the best. I can give my son a pouch or food with these on them in his car seat and not worry. He carries pouches around the living room and I don't have to freak out. I can't say enough good things about them." — Erica Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five color combos). ChooMee is a small biz based in Northern California, owned by a mom, that specializes in innovative products that solve everyday feeding challenges. 26. A "Cup Claw" because if you've ever had to deal with folded up or falling out bra inserts in tank tops, sports bras, or bathing suits, you KNOW why this was invented. Save yourself a scream of frustration every laundry day, and just break out this lil' guy instead. Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration, trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective, and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place I highly recommend this." — Wesley I. Get it from Amazon for $14.99. Cup Claw is a US-based, family-owned small business, btw. 27. A handy dandy car seat buckle release tool (that was featured on Shark Tank!) so you can easily unlatch your kid's car seat buckle with a little extra leverage (and less thumb pain). If you have long nails you're tired of breaking, have arthritis or limited hand strength, or have an older sibling helper, this product is for you. Amazon Promising review:"Life saver! I bought this for my son to be able to unbuckle himself, and it's worked perfectly! When he went to visit extended family, it was a godsend for the arthritic hands trying to help unbuckle him. I can't say enough good about this product! Will be buying more in the future." — Jason Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors). UnbuckleMe is a woman-owned small business run by Becca Davison and her mother Barbara Heilman, an occupational therapist and grandmother of four. 28. The Baseboard Buddy, an As-Seen-On-TV gadget that'll come through for you if you're TIRED of all the dust that accumulates on your trim and baseboard every. single. day. This guy is lightweight and has an extendable telescoping handle and 360 degrees swivel so you can wipe surfaces clean with the contoured microfiber head *without* having to bend over or get down on your hands and knees. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse! Promising review: " Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 29. A popcorn kernel sifting bowl anyone who has unknowingly bitten down hard on an unpopped kernel (ouch!) will truly find genius.

Amazon It fits a full bag of microwave popcorn (or about four quarts if you pop your own!). Plus you can use this as a regular strainer for rinsing produce on other occasions! And it's dishwasher safe. Promising review: "My husband loves popcorn. However, unlike me, he HATES any unpopped kernels. So after a lot of searching, we found this and ordered it. loves this thing. And I love that I no longer have to hear him complain about how many kernels are in the bottom of his bowl! So if you want to eat popcorn without having a bunch of kernels in the bottom, DEFINITELY order this one........" — R. Harris Get it from Amazon for $24.98. 30. A rapid mac 'n' cheese cooker for those days that you want to have one of your fave comfort foods but really don't feel like turning on your stove or dealing with a strainer. This handy kitchen gadget has your back — you just need five minutes and a microwave (vs 20 minutes the old-fashioned way). Here's how it works: Pour in the macaroni and add enough water to the fill line. Then microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Remove, stir, and microwave two more minutes, then add the other ingredients per the mac 'n' cheese instructions. Check out a TikTok of the rapid mac cooker in action. PS — people also use this to rapid cook their ramen! Promising review: "There is nothing I dislike about this. I don't like milk so didn't add it but it's surprisingly as good or better than stove top. The texture and flavor is on point and it's not soggy like easymac. I laughed when I got this and was like wow it's no different than any container. It's harder material so idk what it's made of but the directions inside the container are on point for good mac and cheese except I drained the water. T he days of scrubbing a big pot are over for me. I can't believe this actually worked. Especially bc the texture of the noodles and the taste is so on point. I got no discount and wasn't paid for this review. I just really am shocked it worked and worked so well. They got this down to a science with this container and directions. I am amazed." — me Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three colors and a two-pack). Rapid Brands is a California-based small business that specializes in dishwasher-safe, microwaveable, BPA-free kitchen products. 31. A *self-cleaning* grooming brush to easily and effectively remove excess hair from your pet (so it doesn't end up all over you and your home). What makes it self-cleaning, you ask? Simply push a button on the side, and the bristles retract so you can just sweep away all the pet hair you just accumulated right into the trash. Lots of reviewer pets love being brushed by it too! Promising review: "I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc for my cats. This is hands down not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They are looking so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me trying to get more. The self cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button and all the hair falls off. The brush itself is bigger than what I anticipated. I thought my cats would be afraid of it but once they figured out what was happening, they weren't at all. I got the original brush which I thought would probably feel good (like a good back scratch!) And I was right. They loved it." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $12.99 + (available in two colors, two sizes, and one for sensitive skin). 32. NYX Brow Glue, an extreme hold eyebrow gel (up to 16 hours!) to keep your brow hairs in place alllll day long, especially if you like that "laminated" look — all in just a few strokes. Reviewers agree the hold is great, the formula doesn't flake off, and that it also washes off easily! Reviewers note it's a great alternative to products like Glossier Boy Brow, Benefit Gimme Brow, and ABH Brow Freeze. Promising review: "I would use hair spray to hold my eyebrows and throughout the day I would sweat through it and it wouldn't last. I tried this because the price was great and I'm glad i did. This product is awesome. I've had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift and they are still in place! It doesn't dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder and this does NOT affect the look of the powder nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." — Shelby Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in clear, plus eight tinted shades). 33. A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner so you can keep your shower clean and mildew-free by spraying just *once a week*. You'll feel more ready to take on the day when you wash your hair in a shower that' clean all the time. Amazon, Best invention ever? Possibly. Promising review:"This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves shower clean with no scrubbing actually necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is designed very well, with squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a longish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for quite a while now, and I love it. I highly recommend it." — Stephanie Martin Get it from Amazon for $19.39 (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack). 34.

If you don't *already* have a drill, you can also get a cordless drill set with brushes just like the above and drill bits from Amazon for $32.99. Promising review:"I constantly have to pester the hubby to help with cleaning the bathroom. Then I bought this and he's like Tim 'the tool man' Taylor. I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean. It doesn't take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." — Heather N Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types/stiffness levels for different cleaning jobs). Drill Brush is a small business based in New York. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome who needed a way to clean without causing him harm. 35. Borderline genius nail clippers that *catch* the nail clippings so they don't go flying all over the place (somehow never into the trashcan as intended). They're called "No Splash" which is both gross and hilarious, and the brand claims they'll stay sharp for a full decade. Amazon Promising review:"Best nail clipper I've ever owned. All my life I've had stainless-steel nail clippers that slip from my fingers whenever I have to cut my nails, which bends the nail and adds pressure onto my nail bed. With these clippers, the groove lets my thumb sit comfortably. It cuts very well, and there's no need to put too much pressure when cutting a tough nail. The nail catcher is a good bonus. It prevents your nail debris from flying all over the place so you don't need to hover over the trash can. I use the built-in nail file to shape those sharp edges and it does the job very well. It eliminates the use of switching over to an individual nail file. I also like the little case that it comes in. It keeps me from losing my nail clippers." — Jasmine Get them from Amazon for $13.95. 36. A dozen Bottle Bright tablets for deep cleaning your thermoses and on-the-go bottles — no scrubbing required. These'll get into all those hard-to-reach spaces and remove *all* the gunk. Just plop one tablet in and let it sit overnight. The foaming action will power away gross stuff, residue, and seemingly permanent odors while you get some beauty sleep. Promising review:"Magic tablets! These little tablets were amazing! By far the best item I've bought all year. I have been using the same few Contigo mugs every day for coffee for years and the insides were quite stained. This did the trick and they look like new. Amazing!!!" — Amazon Customer Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $7.90 (available in larger packs). 37. A foot filing rasp designed to undo years of callus buildup in mere MINUTES. No waiting for intense creams to do their work, no getting pedicure after pedicure — if you want to see results ASAP, you'll think it's ~grate~. Promising review:"I have BAD feet. Like genetically bad. I have tried EVERYTHING. I've spent an excessive amount of money on foot masks, foot scrubs, pedicures, pumice stones, foot files, etc. Nothing worked. This fixed my feet in five minutes. I was actually in shock. I haven't had 'soft' feet in years. I literally feel like I have new feet. Best $10 I ever spent." — Hdb Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 38. And to speed things up more, a bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that can dissolve that pesky hard, dead skin in just a few minutes — for real, don't leave it on for more than that. Then just rinse, sand with a pumice stone or rasp, and enjoy those silky-smooth feet! If you love Baby Foot but hate waiting, this is a great option. Promising review:"I already had a rasp which I keep in my shower and use right when I'm getting out and it worked well. However, with this product, it's a game-changer. My heels would be smooth with just the rasp, but with the combination, they are as smooth as any salon has ever gotten them, and it is so easy to use. I simply take my normal shower, dry off and apply this callus remover to the bottom of my feet where I need it. I waited 8 minutes and then let the rasp get all of the dry skin off, rinsed my feet well and they looked amazing. I highly recommend this, especially in sandal season!" — The Momager Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in original, peppermint, and tea tree formulations, and also available in a two-pack). 39. A pair of arch supports with compression to help relieve foot pain, whether you have fallen arches, plantar fasciitis, or just spend all day on your feet. Just slide 'em on your foot — it's that simple. Read more about how a lack of arch support can aggravate plantar fasciitis at the American Podiatric Medical Association. Promising review:"Love, love, love, love, love! I have plantar fasciitis and high arches and suffered with pain and uncomfort. I was looking for supportive shoes and stumbled upon Copper Compression bands and decided to give them a try. Best purchase ever! They immediately give support, stretch the foot and relieve pain. I recommend the gel ones with the pad at the bottom for cushion on your arches but both provide the same effectiveness. I wear them to bed every night, when driving and around the house. I have given them as gifts to several family members and friends, all of whom love them! They are a family run, American company and have outstanding customer service. I couldn't say better things. 6/5 stars! You won't regret this purchase." — nicole keuster Get them from Amazon for $15.95 (available in six colors). 40. A pack of eucalyptus mint shower steamers to help open up your sinuses (those and make your shower feel like a spa. Relaxation isn't just for bath-takers, you know. Learn more about eucalyptus oil (plus other suggestions for home remedies) to help with sinus congestion and pressure at the Cleveland Clinic. Just place one on your shower floor (not directly under the water), and it'll activate when splashed, releasing a delicious scent. Promising review:"As a long time sufferer of congestion, these help me so much. A friend told me about these while my husband and I were both sick at the beginning of the year (IYKYK). The congestion that came on with this virus was TERRIBLE. While Afrin works wonders, you can't use it every day. These helped clear up most of the congestion and they smell amazing. I have chronic allergies and have used these since being sick anytime my allergies get the best of me. I wouldn't say my congestion is completely relieved (like when you use a medicated nasal spray) when I use these, but they help so much and did give me relief. I pop one in the shower, and it smells like I'm at a MedSpa. My entire bathroom and bedroom smell so good whenever I use these. These are nice to use even if you're not congested and want a relaxing shower after a long day. The smell of these is calming + relaxing especially right before bed." — Karis Get a 15-pack from Amazon for $24.99 (available in clarity and relief bundles). Body Restore is a small biz btw! They make other shower steamers in a variety of scents, too, like energizing citrus and calming lavender right before bed, etc. 41. Ethylene gas-absorbing apples for anyone tired of fresh produce spoiling before they can use it — the company claims these'll save the average household up to $600 per year when you just keep one in your drawer. Amazon They can keep produce fresher for two to three times longer. Each packet inside the Bluapple lasts three months, and you can order replacement packets as needed. Promising review:"Lettuce was going bad in my refrigerator produce bin while lettuce in my outdoor compost bin seemed to stay green much longer. Then I bought these, and now my lettuce stays fresh for a very long time. This product pays for itself many times over." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of two from Amazon for $17.99. 42. A pack of sound-dampening bumpers you can stick right on noisy cabinets to keep you from being jarred awake with the BANG that indicates someone else's late-night or early-morning bowl of cereal. Amazon Promising review:" Best thing I have ever bought for my kitchen. Say goodbye to the heinous noise of slamming cabinets. My mother is notorious for just letting go of the cabinets and letting them slam shut so before she came to visit I installed these and I couldn't have been happier. They keep the noise to a minimum and likely help to improve the longevity of the cabinet doors by reducing the impact. They are easy to install (although time consuming for all the cabinets in the kitchen) and mine have not fallen off after 5 months of use. When installing, I pressed them onto the cabinet hard for a 30 count before letting go. I think this is required to make them long lasting. My father installed these at his home after he visited and his fell off because he just placed them on the cabinets like a sticker. After installing a second with the same method I used, he has not had any fall off." — Dave Carlson Get a sheet of 100 from Amazon for $8.58. 43. A pillowcase designed specifically for sleeping with wet hair (or sleeping in a hair mask) with one side with a microfiber terrycloth exterior and waterproof lining so you can go to bed with freshly washed hair without ruining your pillowcase — and so you can sleep comfortably. AND *satin* on the other side to help your hair retain moisture, stay tangle-free, and have less breakage. Amazon Promising review:"This company is absolutely amazing and the pillowcase is genius! First off, they have the best customer service. There was a problem with my order so I reached out to them. They responded to my email quickly and resolved the problem. Very friendly people to work with. Second, t he pillowcase is hands down, the best I have ever used! I always take night showers and go to bed with wet hair. I've used a towel over my old pillowcases for years and I always wake up with a damp pillow and the towel on the bed. With this pillowcase, I don't have that problem! The microfiber side absorbs the moisture from my hair and the other side is a nice soft satin for those nights I don't go to bed with wet hair. I will never go back to a normal pillowcase again! I never write product reviews, but I just had to with this product. It was that good! Basically, BUY THIS PILLOWCASE!!!!" — Kristen Chorney Get it from Amazon for $35.95+ (available in five colors, plus versions made of all towel or standard cotton or polyester). Btw, DryZzz is a woman-owned small business. 44. A TikTok-approved, compact Levoit air purifier with a true HEPA filter because dust, pollen, and pet dander can get you DOWN (and sneezy) — and make it look like you haven't cleaned in ages, when you totally dusted yesterday. This'll suck so much out of the air, you just might find yourself dusting (and sneezing) less often! And it can help your home smell fresher, too. Promising review: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn't want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they are able to be vacuumed, which I do about once a week so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1200 sf Townhouse and it works really well. I only have to dust every 3-4 weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought 2 of the smaller version of this same purifier for the 2 bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine they don't work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those rooms too. I've had all 3 purifiers going 24/7 for 4 months now and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all these purifiers have been very economical to use." — SuesZoo Promising review: "Stop looking, buy this! I bought a higher-end unit for my office and this one for my home. Literally no difference! Buy the cheaper one!" — Keith Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st. ft spaces from Amazon for $99+ (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 sq ft. for $39.97. 45. A reusable Revlon oil-absorbing roller stick with a ball made of volcanic stone that sucks the excess shine right off your face. Just pop it out and give it a wash once in a while and you can reuse it over and over and over again! Amazon Promising reviews:"This... this! I don't know what sort of sorcery this is, but this thing totally works, and it's freaking me out! I tested it by standing outside for a few mins (I live in the south, very humid) and then came back inside and rolled it along my nose. Sucked that oil right up!! I cannot believe I have been wasting money on blotting paper when this was out there (and reusable)! Totally buying some for my sister and friends. If you're on the fence about it, JUST BUY IT!" — Stellar Get it from Amazon for $8.18. Btw, now the roller comes in a rose quartz version you can store in the fridge for a soothing face massage! 46. An under-the-sink water filtration system to help you kiss your Brita goodbye and pour a glass of the good stuff straight from the tap. And fun fact: It's designed to be installed in under three minutes. It has a two-step filter that removes 99.99% of contaminants, and it comes with direct connect hoses to hook right up to the standard 3/8-inch valves in US kitchen sinks. Promising review:"We have town water and it seems they are putting more and more chlorine in it every year. We should be getting used to it and tasting it less and less, not more! The refrigerator filters are super expensive and weren't cutting it. Every time I put a glass to my mouth it smelled like a swimming pool. I searched the internet and decided to give this a try due to the positive reviews and affordability. Wow! easy install (I'm an avid DIYer). And the taste! The chlorine taste is just gone! No more overpriced fridge filters for us. I love that the filter replacement procedure is basically the same as a fridge. Just twist and remove. We love it so much I teed off the fridge line and put a dispenser at our sink as well. The flow on this thing is just amazing! And the water tastes great! Don't waste your money on the expensive, complicated ones. My parents have a three-chambered, name brand filter at their house. It was expensive, the replacement filters are expensive, it is a pain in the petunias to replace the filters, and the flow rate is pathetic! But guess what! Our water from this filter tastes just as good as theirs at a fraction of the price, plus it's way more convenient, plus the flow rate is way better. I just can't say enough. Love, Love it! You will too!" — BJ Get it from Amazon for $59.49+ (available in two styles). 47. A super-speedy wine stain remover so you can quickly undo Sandra's sloshing all over your pristine white couch and carpet, without losing your ~temper-nillo~. Now you can get back to enjoying the party. Promising review:"Totally impressed! The unassuming generic packaging and label left me a bit skeptical but this stuff is almost as exciting as the wine I spilled! This cabernet stain sat on my ivory faux fur blanket for over a month before I tried this product. Completely gone in one try! Get this. Seriously. You won't be disappointed." — Persian Tess Get it from Amazon for $11.88. 48. A drain-clearing tool with a rotating handle and five replacement snakes with 4,000 micro hooks and a slim design to shimmy down any drain (you don't even need to remove the cover) and snag all the hairs and goop that's clogging the system — in one quick pull. Amazon, Promising review:"I don't write many reviews, but when something blows my mind like this, I have to! Not only did this remove an enormous amount of hair from my drain, it took less than 30 seconds to do so! I didn't really read the instructions, but it's pretty straightforward. Stuck it in the drain, cranked the handle, pulled it out. Voila, no more hair! Buy it! You won't be disappointed." — Linsey Barbieri Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 49. A bottle of Fanola purple shampoo that'll neutralize yellow tones and brassiness for platinum locks — all in one to three minutes and *without* a trip to the salon. Just don't leave it on for too long, or you might end up with a slight purple tint — but some reviewers love that! Promising review: "I'm not one to leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Holy cow! I was going to go into the salon to brighten my hair up, but after discovering this product I cancelled my appointment. I'm totally in love! This shampoo is not drying at all and just after two washes I achieved my desired results! I can't recommend it enough!" — Rachael Get it from Amazon for $12.25+ (available in two sizes). 50. A bottle of Downy wrinkle release spray you can just spritz on and magically reveal crease-free clothing when you can't bear to even wait the 90 seconds for your steamer to heat up. There are other things to be done! Promising review:"HOLY SMOKES. I wasn't expecting this product to work so well. Literally 10 seconds after spraying and gently stretching as the directions suggested, this was the difference! I let it hang for another 15 mins with a subtle improvement, but the first few seconds after were mind-blowing. Highly suggest this product if wrinkled garments are planning your closet." — Desiree Get two full-size bottles, plus a travel-size bottle, from Amazon for $16.99 (available in other sizes/bundles). 51. A Muller veggie chopper to turn your onion-cutting tears into tears of joy when you realize the whole dang thing is diced with one press of the lever. Because your need for fresh salsa can't wait. Amazon, It comes with the chopper itself, a whopping EIGHT blades (three different size choppers, plus blades for julienning, slicing, grating, and regular and fine shredding), and a cleaning brush. Promising review:"This has made my life soooooo much easier. Arthritis and getting old sucks. But this little jewel makes my kitchen fun again. Love the holding box, the choppers, and the mandolin, and a greater. This is a complete tool. I have been buying this brand [ Mueller ] for at least 10 years now and have liked every product I have gotten. The hand-held mixer is the best I have EVER used (and I've had a few )!!!!!!" — Lisa R. Get it from Amazon for $24.86+ (available in two styles). 52. A pack of Avarelle pimple patches formulated with tea tree oil and calendula oil (to heal and shrink zits faster overnight). And they come in the classic circular shape PLUS large, square patches so you can easily treat and shrink clusters of pimples all at once. A lot of reviewers who have also tried Cosrx and Nexcare patches prefer these! Promising review:"I've tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I'm a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a Whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn't have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I'm so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." — Caitlyn Get them from Amazon: the box of 40 round patches for $8.49 and the pack of eight large square patches for $8.99. 53. A mold and mildew removing gel, because you don't need to get your whole shower redone once this is in your life. Just squeeze out and let this non-drip gel work its magic overnight — NO s c r u b b i n g. Promising review:"Didn't think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn't think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning. Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn't quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think 2 bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product." — thekuan Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 54. A handy-dandy silicone paw cleaner designed to fully (but gently) remove dirt, mud, sand, ice melt, and whatever else from your furry friend's feet pronto — and without the hassle of scrubbing. You'll *both* be happier. Promising review:" UPDATE: I've been using this for a few weeks, and I love it. It cleans the salt off my dogs' paws so easily. When it's super dirty and the streets are covered in salt, I'll refresh the water supply. I add a few drops of their doggie shampoo, and it works great. Don't believe the negative reviews. I don't see how they can possibly not know how to use this gadget. It is so easy to use. And the pictures of the German Shepherds and their mess, I find it impossible that this gadget could possibly create that mess. I guess if they are covered in thick mud, then they have to be hosed down, and this product is not a replacement for a bath. I have four dogs in NYC. I have to wash their feet after every walk because the streets are so filthy. It would take me about 10-15 min to clean their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now, it takes about five minutes. And the towel doesn't end up filthy. The dirt gets caught in the cup. Plus the dogs seem to like it. The silicone bristles must feel good. A huge thumbs-up!" — Sandra Get it from Amazon for $15.60+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). 55. A clever little PVC spiral to make rings up to 1.5 sizes smaller without permanent alterations required. Easy peasy! Amazon Promising review:"I lost weight during my pregnancy (and after) and my wedding rings kept falling off. I didn't want to get them resized, have a little ball welded in or wear one of those guards that slide around. I pretty much gave up on wearing them. I saw these in one of those silly BuzzFeed lists about Amazon products. I usually just read those things for a good laugh (really who needs a hedgehog shaped planter) I immediately put this item in my cart and I couldn't be happier! It comes with four sizes. I used the smallest size for my engagement ring. It was super easy to wrap around." — DMA Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.94. 56. Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray, which spritzes right on your face whenever your skin needs a little de-stressing. The three simple ingredients are designed to trigger your skin's immune response to tone down redness, calm irritation, and reduce inflammation. Tower 28 Promising reviews:"It really works. I found this product on Instagram, read the reviews, and decided to give it a try. My skin looks transformed after 10 days. My maskne is greatly improved, redness is gone, and my skin feels great. I have aging, oily skin that's still acne-prone, and this product not only had not broken me out, but has eliminated the small breakout I was having. I'm in love." —Bonnie *Another* promising review:" I give 12/10. Holy grail. Undupeable. This tastes like salt and smells like a pool BUT it has calmed my rosacea and healed my cystic acne in a day or two (would normally take weeks). I'm spraying it in my mask to keep maskne away. It's everything. Only downside is I'm going through it so fast that it's going to be an expensive habit. But so far it's worth it." — EssJay Get it from Tower 28 or from Sephora for $28 (also available in a smaller size). Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business that was founded by Amy Liu and is designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients, and are vegan and cruelty free. 57. A single-handed tape dispenser to make wrapping gifts, sealing envelopes, etc., way, way easier — and keep those wrapping jobs TIGHT. Just pull the lever to cut the tape! Am I the only one who ends up with a weirdly baggy gift? Promising review:"My last tape dispenser that was awful. Threading the tape through the mechanism was a PITA. The gears and springs would fall out when you opened the damn thing. Eventually, the tape started to cling to the roller and would rip the paper I was trying to tape. This design is great; the tape self threads itself when you put it on the rubber bands, the tape stays on the inside of the device until you press the trigger to release it, the tape self cuts when you let go of the trigger. Everything can be done with one hand. Wonderful!" — Billster Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in seven colors). 58. A pocket-sized, safer-to-use cutting tool for making small jobs (cutting tape, opening boxes) quicker and easier and tough jobs (that clamshell packaging) less frustrating. Amazon Promising review:"I have a medical disorder that causes my fingers to lose dexterity in cold, and in my job, I have to go into a freezer and open taped up boxes every day. I was having way too much trouble getting the tape off, and didn't want to use a bulky box cutter. So I found this, put them on my keys, and it is ready to go immediately. It hasn't cut me, and I grab my keys over and over a day (I'm a delivery driver) and have yet to be injured. I love this thing! The blade is tiny, but strong. It does not retract, but it's still safe." — Rachel C. Get it from Amazon for $5.12+ (available in 10 colors and in multipacks). 59. A roll of screen repairing tape to quickly patch up a hole or tear in your window screen so you can enjoy all the goooorgeous spring breezes (coming soon!) — without inviting guests. It may not blend in perfectly but hey, it's cheaper than replacing a whole screen! Promising review:"I live in an old home and we are at the point in life where we have done all the big repairs we are going to do. We have holes in quite a few screens which my spouse promised to fix with his mystical screen hole patching prowess. That was years ago and I'm tired of getting eaten alive. I bought a roll of this and in 10 minutes every screen was patched. This product cuts cleanly even with mediocre scissors. It adheres to the existing screen neatly and without a lot of pressure or fuss. I'd say not to worry too much about which color you choose as this product is quite obvious in use. It is really not going to blend. However I don't care; my screens no longer are mosquito boulevards and the product stays put. I'm thrilled, one more job off the list." — Quickbeam Get a roll of 15 feet from Amazon for $8.29 (available in four sizes and two colors). 60. A pepper corer that'll quickly remove the stem, seeds, and core in a jiffy so you can get to slicing, stir-frying, stuffing, or just chomping on a sweet slice of raw bell pepp (a go-to snack of mine). And if you're prepping spicy peppers, they won't irritate your hands! Amazon Promising review:"I love eating raw bell peppers and this handy gadget has been a real time-saver. Removes the core to make slicing up peppers much more efficient. Two thumbs-up for this ingenious kitchen gadget." — I love Amazon Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 61. A few sheets of LED-dimming stickers to finally keep those pesky router, TV, clock, and other electronic lights from ruining your ~room of complete darkness~. They dim 50-80% of the light, so you can still tell that your devices are still actually *on* and functioning. You can always double them up to completely block out the light source if you'd like (many reviewers do this) or buy the stronger **full black-out** edition! Promising review:"This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game-changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in Sharpie, etc., but true to the name of these products if you're looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" — Amazon Customer Get a sheet of over 100 dimming stickers (in multiple sizes and shapes) from Amazon for $3.99. 62. An odor-eliminating candle that'll truly knock out the worst pet stinks and leave your home smelling ahhh-mazing — without you know, actually having to clean every five seconds. Amazon They're made with soy wax that burns for up to 70 hours, plus the scents are allergy friendly! Promising review:"I have multiple dogs in the house and am always concerned that it smells like that to visitors even cleaning everyday. I have use other candles and melts that add a pleasant smell to the underlying odor, but these do better. I have been able to leave the house for hours and when I first open the door, on my return, I don't smell dog. We recently had a house full of people (many of them pet parents) over for Christmas dinner and it was actually commented 'Your house smells really nice. How do you keep the dog smell out?' I laughed and told them I was just wondering if the candles were working. I guess I got the BEST answer." — LLLTexas Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three scents and in multipacks).

Reviewers Were Left "Speechless" After Using These 28 Products
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 · "I'm speechless. I've never been able to do winged liner in the 30 years I've walked the earth." — if this sounds like you, you're gonna want to check out this eyeliner stamp. 1. A pack of FryAway Waste Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder designed to make disposing of your cooking oil easy peasy. Add some of this plant-based powder to turn your leftover oil into solid waste, which you can then easily transfer into your trash without any leaking. FryAway is a small business that created this cooking oil solidifier to make cleaning up after frying easy. Promising review:" I'm speechless. This product is absolutely amazing! No more trying to find a clean way to dispose of used grease." — Melissa B Promising review: " Recommended 10 out of 10! Buy this ASAP! Easy to use — followed the directions on the package. Adding this to my must-buy list from now on! So much better than using a funnel and attempting to pour it in a bottle." — TeachinJay86 Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two styles). 2. A Chom Chom roller that's essentially a lint roller for pet hair, but guess what... there's nothing sticky about it (aka no wasteful sheets to toss)! Pet owners rave about this since it picks up all the hair attached to your couch, favorite blanket, *and* outfit of the day. And when you're done, just empty it right into the trash. Promising review:"I'm speechless. I had all but given up hope of finding something to remove the dog hair off my microfiber sofas. I have a lab/Shepard mix and the shedding is out of control. This took the hair off both couches effortlessly. My only concern is how it will hold up in the future, the plastic feels kind of cheaply made, but I would honestly buy another one if I needed to." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 3. A veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer for a quick slice and (of course) chop during your time-consuming meal prep. No need to tremble in fear when your recipe calls for a diced onion because *this* can do it in seconds (without you crying). And the built-in storage container will hold everything until it's time to add your veggies to a dish. It comes with a small-dice blade, large-dice blade, spiral blade, and ribbon blade that are interchangeable and gives you the option to chop, slice, and julienne vegetables. Plus, you get a lid with a built-in chop and a storage container to hold the veggies. Promising review:"I have a lot of kitchen gadgets. A lot. When I say this one is life-altering, I'm not kidding. I have used it for all veggies, garlic cloves, cheese, and even pats of butter for my buttermilk biscuits. I put cherry tomatoes in there for a chopped Italian salad and was rendered speechless by the ease. I can chop an entire onion in under 30 seconds. Bottom line: buy it. Worth every penny." — Kevin Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors and also five other styles). 4. A vacuum hose attachment to quickly suck out all of the dryer lint that's built up — it could *actually* cause a fire if you're not careful. Instead of calling (and waiting for) a professional to do it for you, just attach this to your vacuum and get to it — the flexible hose is over 2.6 feet long to reach deeeep into the machine. Promising review:"Honestly, we are speechless! We are excellent about cleaning the lint trap after every load of clothes. We even cleaned the lint vent outside. But nothing could have prepared us for the amount of lint and gunk trapped in the vent tubing! How we have never had a fire, we have no idea. We vacuumed forever all the way up the vent tube, which we could have in no way done without this item. The suction power was unbelievable! We could not believe how bad the tubing was clogged. Just look at the picture (above). We removed about three-quarters of a kitchen garbage bag size of lint and gunk! It was amazing and embarrassing! It's SO inexpensive, but it could literally save you from a house fire! Anyway, just buy it. Excellent value! You won't be sorry!" — Brian Mattix/Elizabeth Bodnam Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in five colors). 5. A boot and shoe stretch spray if your new kicks are too tight and possibly causing those dreaded blisters. Spray this potion over the tight parts of your shoes, put on thick socks, slip on your shoes, and walk until dry — your feet will feel *so* much more comfortable! Promising review: "I'm speechless. So, I got a pair of Doc Martens for my birthday 2 weeks ago, STIFF LIKE A 2X4. I tried them on; they killed my heel and were suffocating my feet. Anyway, I did some research and came across this product. I read a review of someone using them for work boots, so I said hell why not? Got the product today, CHILD LET ME TELL YOU! My boots got looser in less than an hour! Hands down best product I've ever used to stretch any boots!" — Veronica Get it from Amazon for $10.99. 6. A FURemover Broom that picks up hair like a "magnet" so your carpet, tile, and wood floors can go back to being hair-free. You'll be shocked at how *much* this thing easily rakes up from your carpets and rugs — because trust me when I say there *is* deeply buried hair. It's just hiding!

Definitely buy this if you own any type of dog/cat!! It also worked AMAZING on my couch! I use it on almost every surface of my house lol!!" — Jordan Limas Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six styles). 7.

It's also super affordable and sweat-proof — so this may be your new go-to! Promising review: "After seeing this posted everywhere, I finally decided to try it. WOW! I will never use another mascara again. This mascara goes on beautifully. The thickness and darkness of the mascara truly do make it look like you are wearing false lashes. I also love how easily it comes off in the shower with my face wash. It does not leave a smudge. This mascara lasts all day and does not smudge under the eye at all. I have bought this mascara for every girlfriend I have because it left me speechless. Definitely one of my favorite makeup products to date!" — MJK Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 9. A wine-stain-removing spray because we've all been there — one sip of Pinot turns into a little too much fun, and next thing you know, red wine is everywhere. No worries! This stain remover has your back. Just spray it on, blot, rinse, and watch the stain disappear. Now, you can keep the good vibes going without stressing over spills. Promising review:"Wow. I can't believe this actually works. This is one of those cases where I wish I had taken a before and after. I found a luxury high-end sportcoat at a thrift store with a sizable wine stain on the front for dirt cheap and thought it would be worth it to take a risk and try to clean it up. I pre-moistened the stain with water, then sprayed a good amount of this product in. Used towels to dry up/blot the area as much I could, hung the sportcoat out to air dry, and crossed my fingers. A few days later, magic. The stain was completely gone. Speechless." — Rob Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five varieties). 10.

I wave my hair often, but sometimes you just want to have that beautiful curled look. Like you really have your life together, you know. This picture is after a spritz and 2 hr wait. I'm impatient, but the results have me strut 👏🏻 ting 👏🏻 you feel me! I highly recommend. It's not complicated at all; I did zigzag my part in the back because I heard that helps, and I confer. The back is seamless! I've tried the robe tie way but there's not the same amount of volume I'm getting from this set. BUY THIS PRODUCT!" — Amazon Customer Promising review: " I really loved them. I have curly 4C hair and straighten it, but I wanted a curly look without more heat damage. They turned out adorable; however, don't expect it to last longer than a few hours (for curly girls), but 10/10 would recommend." — L Get it from Amazon for $12.67+ (available in 10 colors) 11.

I dont know what to say... my whole life I've dreamt of having smooth bump-free legs, but no matter what I did or how much I exfoliated... it was never as clear as I saw on other girls. With just a few uses of this.. voila!!! Just like that!?!! Why did it take me so long to come across this amazing product" — Nancy Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in five sizes). 13.

I'm speechless. I'm just going to post a picture and go throw up..." — TK72812 Promising review: "This stuff is magic! We've lived in our home for four years now and had never used our jetted tub. One day last week I decided I needed a nice long soak, filled up the tub only to discover the water was rusty and yellow (SICK). I looked up online what the best way to clean a jetted bathtub was and Oh Yuk came up over and over. Now I know why, this stuff is a miracle worker! We ran it through our tub several times until it was clear. We were so impressed, I purchased another bottle as a housewarming gift for my sister-in-law who is moving into her new house next week. You will not be disappointed, and I'd be shocked if the first words out of your mouth when you use this stuff weren't 'OH YUK'!" — Kimmy D Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in three sizes). 14. A powerful hand immersion blender you can use right in a pot, so you don't have to carefully transfer soups, sauces, or dips into a regular blender. It has eight speeds *and* a ~turbo~ button so you can blend every last chunk. And reviewers say it's easy to clean, lightweight, and BETTER than the more expensive Cuisinart Stick Blender. 👀 One reviewer said to start on the lowest speed before going up to higher speeds to minimize splashing your ~culinary creation~ everywhere. Promising review:"I've been wanting to get an immersion blender for forever. First to blend squash for soup and then to make the occasional malt shake without having to pull out and clean up my full-on blender. I have to say, I'm totally speechless. I decided to make cardamom shortbread cookies tonight and thought that no way could I use the whisk attachment, which seemed flimsy and only suited for eggs and cream. I thought I'd try for 30 seconds or so to see what happened and it blended it all up alright. My goodness, not its intended use, for sure — and not that I'd want to try that again — but this thing sure is powerful. Love, love, love." — Savvy Shopper Get it from Amazon for $23.74+ (available in three styles). 15. A car vacuum cleaner because we like to think our ride will *stay* clean post-deep cleaning, but accidents happen! Reviewers with kids and dogs say this sucks up crumbs and hair with no issue at all.

Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Promising review: "Speechless. For months, I have been procrastinating on buying this vacuum for my car. Now that I have it in my possession, it works perfectly and does the job. It's light to handle and just a push of a button. Also comes with an extra filter." — Abby Get it from Amazon for $32+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 16. A Revlon one-step hairdryer and volumizer brush so you can simultaneously dry *and* style your hair at the SAME. TIME. — meaning you can cut your styling process in HALF. You'll waltz into your morning with a salon-style blowout that looks so good people will say, "I didn't know Drybar opened so early." Promising review:"I'm not one to write a review, but this brush has left me speechless. I have curly hair, it usually takes me 1hr to get my hair straight. 45min blow drying with brush and blower, 15min to flat iron. I've tried many dryer brushes, and none have been strong enough to straighten my hair on the first go; that's why I chose to keep doing it the old-fashioned way. I am in LOVEEEEE. I t not only reduced my drying time in half, but it does an amazing job. Left my hair looking like a salon blow, shiny, straight, and with volume. My roots have always been a struggle, and this brush got them done perfectly." — kriver12 Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in 10 colors). If you're someone with curl types 4a–c, then check out the Revlon One-Step *paddle* brush to help blow out tighter curls or coils. This style is designed with curlier hair in mind, and reviewers love it! Get it from Amazon for $34.90. 17. A pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds because the sound quality, different sets of squishy ear tips (for a custom fit!), and waterproof design (which Apple AirPods are NOT) can match or even outdo their more expensive cousin. Reviewers rave about how these last for years and are shockingly good for how cheap they are. The earbuds come in a wireless charging case with up to 14 hours of charge. The earbuds themselves can play for up to four hours on a full charge. Promising review:"I'm speechless. I debated buying the Apple AirPods Pro for $250 but got these instead because of all the reviews. Definitely worth the money! Great bass. So good I bought another pair for my wife. Worth every penny!" — Kevin Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes). 18. An exfoliating scrub mitt that'll leave you shocked with how much dead skin comes off your body. Not only will you feel squeaky clean stepping out of the shower, but your skin will feel so soft and smooth, too. Reviewers say this also helps prevent ingrown hairs and reduces keratosis pilaris! Promising review:"Where has this been all my life? This is a miracle product. It's able to remove built-up dead skin caused by an autoimmune skin condition. I was speechless while using it for the first time because I never thought such a seemingly simple product could have such immediate results. Just use according to instructions (soak skin in warm/hot water for 20 minutes before exfoliating. Just water, no soap, salts or oils during initial soak. Hand wash product after each use and do not overuse). You might have to change your bath water 2-3 times depending on your skin type/issues. I saw immediate improvement after the first use and each subsequent weekly use. I anticipate the purchase will last at least six months because it comes with two gloves. You can really only use one at a time." — Kennedy Marie Hernandez Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of two). 19. A screen cleaner kit because your show — *cough* Game of Thrones *cough* — is already so poorly lit that you're squinting to see it. And those messy smudges are just rubbing salt in the wound. The included spray and microfiber cloth will keep your TVs so crystal clear you'll think you have a portal to another world. The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more! Promising review:"I have never written a review and have bought dozens of Amazon products. I was quite skeptical. I am speechless. Used another cleaner on my new TV that had smudges from mounting it and had streaks and marks so bad I thought I ruined my brand-new OLED TV. Took two sprays on the cloth from this product and bam crystal clear. 5 stars plus!!!!! I never will have to use anything else." — John Kelley Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes). 20. A mold and mildew remover for the deepest, darkest parts of your grout and caulk — it'll lift the yuck out without super intense scrubbing. Apply the concentrated gel formula, wait 6–8 hours, and watch those stains *poof* out of existence! Promising review:" I'm speechless at how great this works. I'd tried everything to rid my newish and quite expensive shower of the bits of black mold buildup that had popped up under the clear caulk. I mean I tried everything. Nothing really removed much of it. This product removed probably 95% of the mold with zero effort. I'm blown away by the results. It's just that much of a life hack. I'm a buyer for life." — Justin Cook Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 21. An eyeliner stamp so you can get the perfect cat eye without the fuss of keeping a constant steady hand. Save yourself the time that it takes to freehand a flawless wing and stamp on this waterproof liner instead. Simply line up the stamp from the corner of your eye to the end of your eyebrow and stamp to create the perfect wing on both sides. The stamp is waterproof *and* smudge-proof, so you won't have to worry about reapplying throughout the day. The pen has two ends — one for stamping and the other has a fine tip for putting eyeliner on the rest of your eyelid. Promising review:"Amazon makes all things possible, even the perfect winged liner. I'm speechless. I've never been able to do winged liner in the 30 years I've walked the earth. This product is amazing, it's seamless. Literally, it's fool-proof. Not to mention it has great staying power, it's very dark, and hasn't smudged all day. I seriously wasn't expecting to like it this much!" — Taylor Get the set of two (one for each eye) from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo-pack). 22. The Pink Stuff, a cleaning paste that'll leave you amazed as it cuts through stains, grease, and grime on basically anything. Your child's crayon Van Gogh on your freshly painted wall? Solved. Tarnished Jewelry? Forget about it! Your bathtub that's *so* dirty you think replacing it would be faster? Nope, The Pink Stuff can solve allll of that for ya in a flash thanks to its abrasive formula! Promising review:"I never write reviews, but I must share this product. I tried EVERYTHING (aside from using a razor) on my glass shower doors/walls and NOTHING!! I saw this product mentioned so tried it…I was speechless. A Mr. Clean magic eraser paired with this…my soap/mildew/call it what you will…just poof!!! I dream of Genie style!!! Gone!! Clear as day!! I haven't used it elsewhere, but I'm sure stainless appliances would be amazing too. :)" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for 5.97+ (also available with a sponge). 23. A bottle of callus-removing gel for results so good you'll think you just purchased magic in a bottle. Reviewers say it "melts" off tough, dead calluses and leaves skin soft and supple. Just pre-soak your feet in warm water, apply it, let it sit for five to 10 minutes, and rinse it off! And it's super easy to use! All you have to do is presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse. Promising review: "I'm speechless. My 33-year-old calluses are magically gone! My feet feel good with no socks now." — Ian Promising review:"This stuff works so well! It melts the calluses away, and my feet feel so smooth after. Just be careful getting it on any clothing or towels because it does change the color of the fabric. Learned this the hard way. I highly suggest this product!" — Audrey Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available in two- or three-packs). 24. And a foot file if there's some lingering dead skin on your feet — and you want it gone ASAP. Just rub this back and forth and watch that dead skin fall right off. Promising review:"I've used pumice stones, sonic pedicure machines, you name it…I still had thick and hard soles along with dry and scaly heels. I've used this foot file for just two days, and I'm speechless. I finally found something to rid my embarrassing feet. It's the smoothest I've seen my feet and heels in decades! Wow!" — FrankSFO Get it from Amazon for $6.33 (available in two sizes and various packs). 25. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover — it helps remove the coffee, red wine, and food stains that make you say, "Ugh!" Cleaning accidents will be easy thanks to this fast-acting and no-rinse formula. Promising review: 'This product is amazing!! I had a problem with my air conditioner leaking last summer. The leak left a couple of spots that I was unable to get out of my carpet. Luckily they were behind my bed, where you couldn't really see them. I thought I'd try this stuff on the spots and see if it would do anything for them. Well low and behold, they took all the spots away like they were never there! I am speechless! I tried EVERYTHING on those damn spots — all the tricks and tips I could find — to no avail. A handful of sprays of Folex, and it took away all evidence of any stain! This stuff is surely a bottle of magical potion. Run — NO! SPRINT!! — and put a couple of bottles of this miracle-working liquid in your cart and checkout as fast as you can!! You WILL NOT regret it!!! Go! Now!!' — Claire Auger Get it from Amazon for $6.33+ (available in two sizes and various pack sizes). 26. A gentle yet adorable Tony Moly octopus-shaped blackhead remover for excess sebum, whiteheads, and blackheads. Apply it in circular motions to wet, clean skin, and rinse off with warm water to help clear out clogged pores. Promising review: "I'm pretty lazy about washing my face at night etc. I do it in the shower morning and after gym, but that's it. Now that it's sunny my nose has some black heads. I tried this and 30 seconds later was speechless. My skin was so smooth and my nose looked great. I doubt I'll do more than one time a week because I think it did a great job." — John J Dean Jr Get it from Amazon for $9.10. 27. A stainless steel cleaner that'll make your appliances ✨shine✨ and resist *future* smudges and scratches, so your $$$ appliances look in tip-top condition allll the time.

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 · You'll wonder why you waited so long to get slow cooker liners. 1. A bag of FryAway cooking oil solidifier — a seemingly magical substance you can sprinkle on top of your grease-coated pan and watch as it turns to a solid. No more waiting ages for it to cool, having to grossly scrape it out of your pan with a paper towel, or accidentally clogging your pipes. FryAway is a US-based small business specializing in planet-friendly cooking waste solutions. Promising review: "I will always keep this stocked in my house! My husband sent me a TikTok, I know, I know, and I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out. I lovedit after the first night! I could easily remove the hardened oil and throw it out." — Roberta Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 2. A drink organizer and dispenser that'll help you live out your dreams of transforming your fridge into a majestic beverage haven (you know, just like the ones in convenience stores that seemingly have every drink known to man). Would it be so awful to fill the entire thing with Diet Cokes? Promising review: "Love these! For someone who must have organization, these are the best. Easy to put together and great quality. Would buy again." — Jacqueline Bice Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes) 3. Cleaning putty that'll help you remove all the dust and debris from the hard-to-reach crevices in your car. Psh, and to think you were going to PAY someone to clean out your car. Amazon Check it out on TikTok here. Promising review:"This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product on TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. It's also great for the though screen in my car! The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn't last, just when it's out of the container!" — Loren Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 4. A car vent dip clip because eating fries while you're in a parked car just tastes better and you shouldn't have to sacrifice your favorite dipping sauce to do so! Thanks to this lil' clip you really can have it all. Saucemoto is a small business! Promising review:"Very useful! I love that the cup is removable so if you have one of those giant Chick-Fil-A ketchup cups, it can sit within the holder without the added cup, but a smaller sauce like from Wendy's can sit inside the additional cup so it won't fall through." — catherine Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes, and four colors). 5. A unique satin-lined Hairbrella designed to help protect your luscious locks from the elements — we're looking at YOU rain, snow, and humidity. Amazon Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business established in 2016 that specializes in hats combining fashion and function to protect against all types of weather. Promising review: "Awesome hat, a must-have for hairdos. I get my hair done often and don't want to destroy a great hairdo. I have been out in a rainstorm and taken it on the log ride into the splash down, hair stayed nice and dry. Love it so much I fold it up and keep it in my purse! It even has a ponytail pouch hidden in it." — applekoolaid Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 13 colors). 6. A winged eyeliner stamp if you obsess over makeup tutorials but haven't been able to nail liquid eyeliner just yet. 2025 is the year you FINALLY conquer it. Promising review:"Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn to my surprise I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." — LadyMeow Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack). 7. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time. After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I (Heather) finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning. Promising review:"I'm very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard bristle tooth brush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral build up, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it's super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven't tried it on rust yet so we'll see how that goes. Over all very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" — Marissa Get it from Amazon for $6.49. 8. A luggage drink caddy you can attach to your wheeled luggage — it'll become your saving grace when traveling during the busiest times of year. You can use it to hold your Starbies, phone, ID, etc and prevent you from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport. Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it's my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 23 colors). 9. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, which smells so freakin' good you might just get distracted from how wonderfully it works! All you'll have to do is spray it onto caked on food and grease, wait a lil', then rinse or wipe it away to reveal a perfectly clean pan. I use this spray nightly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! Promising review:"This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean. I always have back ups never run out. RUN DON'T WALK TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." — Carlos G Get it from Amazon for $8.49 for a pack of two. 10. A splurge-worthy Dyson Airstrait that'll change the way you straighten your hair forever — it uses directional air flow (no metal plates!) to both dry and straighten your hair in minutes. Seriously, it only took me 10 minutes to do my hair directly from the shower! I've had the pleasure of testing out the Dyson Airstrait and, OMG, what an incredible piece of technology. Yes, I called this "tech" instead of a beauty tool. While it is both of these things, I was amazed by the gadget-ness of it right off the bat. I literally had to select on an LCD screen what language MY STRAIGHTENER should be set Anyways! The Airstrait has the ability to straighten both wet or dry hair — and does without the use of damaging hot plates. It uses directional airflow to smooth and straighten hair and, honestly, it is a pretty magical experience. The biggest learning curve for me was realizing the copper pieces (where the fan lives) need to face outward so you're not blowing your hair all over the place. The fan increases when you clamp the Airstrait around your hair (HOW DOES IT KNOW!?) and pauses entirely when you set it down (seen in the GIF to the left). Additionally, I have a toddler and am very limited on time. With this gadget I was able to take my hair from directly-from-the-shower wet to natural-looking straight hair in only TEN MINUTES. This is going to be such a game changer for my life!!! It's definitely worth the splurge. Add this to your holiday wish list or, you know, get it now. Get it from Amazon for $499 (available in two colors). 11. Or a rotating Beachwaver curling iron featuring the ability to basically curl your hair for you while you stand around watching YouTube videos. Technology these days, man. BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers! She said: "I've used about every kind of hair styling tool on the planet and had given up on curling irons with clamps. I was fully a curling wand girlie because I'm adept at heat styling and it gave me covetable mermaid waves I wanted. Then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time." Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 12. Affresh cleaning tablets to toss into your dishwasher and easily get rid of that yucky smell that seems to appear after a few washes — it'll banish lime and mineral build-up and leave your dishes nice 'n' clean. I have these tablets and use them all the time! They work especially great after the bottom of my dishwasher has gotten stained with residue from detergent or rusty-looking liquid after I've run my baking sheets through the wash. I love knowing I can just pop one into the dishwasher 1, 2, 3, and end up with a clean machine. Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" — Sheila Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 13. And a box of washing machine cleaning tablets that'll easily remove any odor-causing residue from inside your machine — you don't want your clothes to smell, do ya? You can use this product on both front-load and top-load washing machines. I (Heather) ran it through the old washing machine that was left in my new house (beggars can't be choosers!) and it came out nice and clean. Promising review:"Works great. My washer started smelling like sour clothes. In turn, my clothes were smelling sour as well. I plopped an Affresh Tab in the washer and let it do its magic. After it was done I opened the washer and to my surprise there was no smell at all. This is a six-pack so buy one box for half a year or two boxes, and only have to order once per year. Definitely recommend." — jcski Get a box of five from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in a six-pack). 14.

Promising review:"I will never NOT have some on hand. These things are a lifesaver (and time saver). Great quality and thickness. They don't rip easily if I accidentally scrape with a fork. Highly recommend!!" — Erin M Get a pack of six from Amazon for $5.79. 15. A set of clip-on dip bowls that'll transform any plate into a snack party — fill 'em with salsa alongside chips, ketchup with chicken fingers, ranch dressing paired with veggies... you catch my drift.

A Wet & Forget shower cleaner you can use to clean your shower with the least amount of effort ever — seriously, you just leave it for the day then rinse it off and enjoy how sparkly and clean the glass will be! Amazon Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring on the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing), and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance and ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.98. 17. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment — it'll revive your hair in case you haven't had a chance to book a salon appointment but your locks need a *quick* fix. Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." — Therese-Claire Get it from Amazon for $8.40. 18. E.l.f's brand new Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara you'll be racing to add to your cart after seeing reviewer photos. It features a lightweight tubing technology that magically wraps around lashes, transforming them from *drab to fab* without taking away from your natural look. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan with a capital F, " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 19. A decorative jar filled with 135 matches (you can strike 'em on the bottom!) so you can stop hunting around your junk drawer for that lil' matchbook you pocketed the last time you were out at a bar. Amazon Promising review:"Beautiful to display and the matches work great! I've bought other decorative matches and the striker or matches haven't worked well — this one is perfect!" — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $22.99. 20. A wall-mounted coat rack to serve as both a lovely lil' piece of wall decor and lend a helpful hand to hang your accessories — as if you needed another excuse to buy a new coat.

A divided hamper that'll keep your lights/darks separate so you won't have to spend any more time than necessary doing the laundry. Amazon There's even detachable mesh bags inside so you can scoop your clothes right up and into the washing machine. Promising review:"It does its job. It was exactly how it was pictured. It's very well made and makes the bathroom look great. It has a nice flat top to put things on the hamper when it is closed. Unfortunately this hamper does not do laundry or put clothes in itself." — Chris T. Get it from Amazon for $48.46 (available in five colors). 22. An oil mister to help you perfectly coat all of your ingredients without getting your hands covered in grease. Promising review: "This is a great item for lightly spraying salads, roasting vegetables, or adding some oil to a prepared plate of pasta. Avoids using more oil than necessary so that's a savings right there. I also use it to put a light coating of oil on all my cast-iron cookware to prevent rust. Best of all, it looks great on the dinner table. Lots of uses which really makes it an asset in the kitchen. It seems that it should last a while so I think it is worth the few bucks spent." — Clancy Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 23. Airtight food storage containers that'll quickly become one of your favorite kitchen accessories — they'll keep a variety of items like beans, cookies, candies, and dried pasta fresh and organized. The set also comes with labels so you can easily see what's inside each container. Promising review:"I'm not sure how necessary these are…but I LOVE them! I store uncooked noodles, snacks, cereal, uncooked rice, croutons, etc. in these. I feel like my pantry is more aesthetically pleasing and definitely more organized. These stack well with each other and save me space from oddly shaped boxes and bags I would have in my pantry without them. I don't really know the benefit of having 'airtight containers' but I love the organization it offers and the food I store never tastes stale. For foods that need to be cooked (noodles, rice, etc.), I wrote the basic directions on the black stickers. I also used the stickers for the expiration dates of the food I store. I throw the containers in the dishwasher and clean the lids by hand. I'll definitely be getting more in the future!" — Jess Get a set of seven from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two colors). 24. A Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier you likely saw on Shark Tank and thought "Wow, that's exactly what is missing from my life." Clip it onto your bags (it can lift up to 80 pounds!) sling 'em over your shoulder and be on your merry way. Amazon, Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors). 25.

Giving my office area character, color, and good vibes. Happy customer!!!" — Capri "These aren't sticky notes, just memo pads so if you're looking for sticky notes, you might want to pass on these. However, these are SO CUTE! They come in five different styles that are all well printed. The colors are great, and the paper is good. Not super thin or anything. There's a good number of each design in the pad, so I feel like the quality and value is definitely there. I am now using these on the daily! 10/10 love these!!" — Mary M. Get a set of five from Amazon for $7.99. 26. A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's hair. From BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes: " I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside." Promising review: "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." — Meowser Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 27. Pretty in pink desk accessories to transform your desk from "hot mess" to "oh, yes!" The set comes with everything you could possibly need to keep your space nicely organized. Amazon Each set includes a pen cup, mail organizer caddy, paper tray, magazine holder, and sticky note holder. Blu Monaco is a small business that sells organizational products. Promising review:"I fell in love with this set the moment it came out of the box. It is sturdy, well-made and definitely worth the price. My living room is all pink and I just inherited my grandmother's writing desk so this fit in beautifully. I am a writer and like to make my writing space as inviting and lovely as possible. This desk set helps me keep my papers, mail, note pad, writing journals, and pens beautifully organized. Worth every cent." — MRS Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in six colors). 29. A set of simple picture frames you can fill with your favorite printed photos (how chic would they look in black and white?!) or with art prints you've had your eye on foreverrrrr. Amazon Promising review:"First, I love that the front is not glass. The frames are lightweight, so it gives me flexibility when hanging. They're nice frames and I'm glad I bought them. They are now displaying my favorite artwork pieces my children have brought to me from school." — Amazon Customer Get a set of five from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in seven colors and 16 sizes). 30. An iridescent mini shelf that'll have you belting out "Levels" by Nick Jonas while you strategically organize your nail polish, sunglasses, whatever!

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in six colors). 32. Fancy reusable dispenser bottles you can fill with your favorite shampoo, conditioner, and body wash while also curating a spa-like vibe for your bathroom! No more mixed and totally nonmatching bottles creating eyesores in the midst of your go-to relaxation spot. Maisonovo is a small business that sells home goods. Promising review: "I love these bottles. They make everything uniform and high-end looking for a fraction of the price. They hold up amazing. I bought another set for my second bathroom." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $27.90+ (available with or without the wall mounts and in seven colors). 33. An eco-friendly hard-water stain remover — it'll work *so* well you'll be second guessing if your shower door is open or not (seriously, it's going to be THAT crystal-clear). Promising review:"We tried everything to get rid of hard water stains and nothing worked. We were getting our house ready to sell and our tub and sink were a mess. We tried this product and it worked immediately, restoring everything to like-new. It was fast and really worked! We even used it to clean our glass stovetop. It was amazing how clean it got things. I have a bad back and have to be careful about scrubbing things and it takes no effort to use. We use it in our new house and love it!" — Bradley Get it from Amazon for $17.77. 34. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner to save your butt the next time you heat sauce and it explodes all over (oops). Fill her with vinegar and water and watch as she blows hot steam into your microwave oven to loosen up all the old food and stains. Wipe it clean and move on with your life! Promising review:"I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors). 35. A Clorox ToiletWand you can use and then toss away — say SEE YA' to that gross toilet brush hiding in the corner of your bathroom. It'll leave your toilet smelling fresh as a daisy, since there is Clorox literally built right into it. Amazon I own and cherish this product. It's a dream knowing the "brush" is fresh and hasn't been intimate with the inside of my toilet prior to my picking it up again. This set comes with the wand and 16 refills. Promising review:"The primary reason I decided to purchase the Clorox Toilet Wand was so I could clean under my toilet rims, which I noticed was definitely getting neglected via using the standard toilet brushes to clean. Initially, I was looking for a toilet brush that had the shape needed to actually GET under the rim, and that's how I found out about it. Now that I've used it... I can say without a doubt that'll I'll never go back to a regular brush. I like the cleanliness of the disposable brushes as opposed to a regular toilet brush. And I especially like that I don't have to purchase a second brush with a shape capable of cleaning under the rim, which not only takes up more space, but also would take more time given I'd have to switch back and forth and apply product. With this, I can just clean the entire pot in less than five minutes with the same tool." — Brittney Nelson Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 36. And a Dyson WashG1 wet cleaner — one of their latest innovations that'll be an investment worth making. It magically glides across hard floors and thoroughly removes debris, stains, hair (!!!) and other liquids with just water (though you can add detergent if you'd like). You'll be amazed to see how dirty the water becomes in the tank while you clean! Dyson / Via I have this bad boy and lemme tell you — it is worth every single penny. Yes, it's pricey, but my home is primarily tile and wood floors and I have two little kids (who basically love on said floors). It uses microfiber rollers to clean and does so so well you'd think there was some sort of magic involved in the making of it. You don't need to do repeated passes to see results — the water in the bottom tank turned so dark my husband and I were horrified (as we mop and vacuum regularly!). After his first try my husband said, "Goodbye, mop!" It's lightweight, which is a huge perk, and the LCD screen lets you select various hydration levels and tells you how much battery time is left. Personally, my favorite highlight is that even though it is a functioning mop of sorts that uses water to clean my floors don't stay wet for very long at all. You can literally walk over the spots you cleaned moments later! It also cleans itself, which is fantastic. Definitely worth the splurge. Promising review: "We have had this for a few weeks, and it's really changed our floor game! Just using water, it gets our floors amazingly clean! Easy to use- easy to clean. We have a full house of hard flooring so mopping was always a huge ordeal- that's why we decided to take a chance on this purchase. We have always been a Dyson house though, so it wasn't a huge gamble and worth the money!" — SamM Get it from Amazon or Dyson for $699.99. Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
