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. And that's on them simply being the best of the best. ✨ 1. A spinning water bottle organizer because your extensive collection of jumbo water bottles takes up an entire shelf in your kitchen cabinet. This lazy Susan-style water bottle holder can accommodate up to six 40-oz. Stanleys, Starbucks tumblers, and more. Promising review: "I have three daughters, which means I have a ton of Stanley cups. They do not fit in my cupboard, so we bought this to see if it would help. It is quite big on the counter, but we put it in the corner, and that seems to fit. Does hold the cups perfectly, and has helped clean out my cupboard a little bit." — Mara Mobley Get it from Amazon for $21.24+ (available in six colors). 2. A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air! Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days, the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99. 3. A Windex outdoor glass cleaner if you're tired of sighing in disappointment when you look at your dirty windows, but ain't no way, ain't no how you're getting on a ladder to clean those floor-to-ceiling windows. Just attach the bottle of Windex to your hose, spray the solution, and you're done! Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" — Helen Simmons Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.96. 4. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver, precise pen tip. Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small, direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99. 5. A pack of towel clips that'll prevent kids and pets from pulling down the towel. Or, maybe you have neither of those things, yet your hand and kitchen towels always end up on the ground. Amazon Promising review: "This clip is amazing. No more towels falling on the floor. It was becoming a routine thing since my cat thinks it's fun to pull the kitchen towels off the oven. Not now, bad kitty! Great I had bought one sooner!" — Joanna Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 6. A Pikk-it tool to remove tangled hair that's lodged in your vacuum head and totally messing with your vac's absorption powers. (And ofc your fingers can't reach the hair!) You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush. Amazon, Promising review: "Between me (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 7. A doorbell cover because a delivery person always seems to drop by the minute your little one has gone down for a nap. Or maybe your dog goes absolutely bonkers when the doorbell it's always a random solicitor selling something you don't want. This works on any type of video or standard doorbell. Stickers are included. Promising review: "Caring for my mom, who has Parkinson's and dementia, I've had to deal with startling sounds like the doorbell, which can be really distressing for her. This has been a game-changer. This sign is easy to install with no tools needed and fits perfectly on our doorbell." — Donna Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 8. A screen-cleaning brush for anyone who struggles to see out of their windows because of grime-covered mesh screens. Is that a twig or a crack in the glass? Maybe there's a dead bug clinging to the outside of the screen, and he's been there for so long that you've named him. (Everyone, say hello to Carl!) Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." — BonjourBeautyByAmy Get it from Amazon for $20.99. 9. A tissue dispenser if you want to permanently cross tissues off your grocery list. This caddy is designed to house and dispense toilet paper — Yep! TP! — which is cheaper than tissues, doesn't come in wasteful individual boxes, and works just as well to catch your snot. Promising review: "Best practical, money-saving, perfectly designed invention I've found in a long time. I like to use toilet paper instead of tissue paper because it saves money and because it saves me from having tissue paper as yet another item to keep track of on my shopping list. You can buy pretty tissue boxes and put the TP roll inside, but it doesn't hold the TP very well at the top, and it looks bad. However, this product holds the TP perfectly, dispenses it smoothly, and hides the ugly TP roll. So I can keep it out on my counter in the kitchen, and the dispenser looks great. It's easy to refill. There is no other product like this, believe me, I've looked! I'm so impressed!" — bk722 Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in two patterns). 10. A space-saving ceramic folding griddle so incredibly well designed that you'll swear some magical wizard made it. There's a built-in drip tray for grease and two temperature zones, meaning you can cook at different temperatures! Eggs on one side, bacon on the other. Meat on one side, veggies on the other. You get the idea! Promising review:"I love how spacious yet compact this griddle is. It's big enough to cook for the family but folds up neatly for easy storage. The non-stick surface works perfectly — nothing sticks, and cleanup is super quick. The dual temperature controls are a nice bonus, letting you cook different foods at once. It's a simple, reliable tool that makes cooking so much easier!" — SAMAS Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in four colors). 11. A pack of solar-powered waterproof deck lights that'll illuminate all the dark areas outside your home. Attach them to deck railings, on the side of your stairs, to your fence, and wherever else it's a little spooky at night. Promising review:"These lights were easy to install and look great on our deck. We just had a pool built and needed some light on the steps of the deck so we could see walking up the steps at night. They're beautiful without too much light." — BJ Get 16 from Amazon for $29.99 (available in white or multicolored versions). 12. An inflatable pool with a built-in bench to make your sunny dreams of relaxing in a pool with a glass of sweet tea a reality — even if you have a small backyard. Promising review: "Good size. I'm 5'4, and I bought it for my 3-year-old and 2-year-old for the spring and summer. I didn't need anything huge; I have a nice-sized deck, and we spend a lot of time on the deck, so I wanted something big enough for them to have some wiggle room to keep cool but not too big so it wouldn't take up too much room. I also purchased an outdoor grass rug to put it on to protect the bottom of it and keep it from getting splinters (just a suggestion if you plan on using it on the deck). It has a drain plug, so cleaning and getting fresh water is not hard at all." — Majestic 0220 Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 13. A standing weeder because having to kneel for hours plucking weeds? My back hurts just thinking about it! Thankfully, this tool has three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing. Your backyard has never looked better! Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based, family-owned small business. Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy. Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that 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 weeds 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 from Amazon for $32.99. 14. A crack weeder tool so your knuckles aren't scratched and bloodied after a session of sidewalk weed pulling. This stainless steel tool is designed to get into tight sidewalk cracks and remove stubborn thistles, weeds, and moss with ease. Promising review: "This tool helps being able to get the weeds out of cracks in cement super fast and makes them look nice. You do still have to get close to the ground, and it is not that long, but the handle is very nice and no blisters from it." — Staci Fillingham Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two sizes). 15. An all-in-one pan from our Goodful collection if you've got one crappy pan to your name, and it's still coated with the remnants of this morning's fried egg. Upgrade your collection with a workhorse pan that can steam, saute, pan fry, deep fry, stew, poach, and so much more! And when it's time for cleanup, the mess will just slide right off. (Or just toss it in the dishwasher!) It comes with a beechwood turner. Promising review: "My husband used this pan for the first time a couple of nights ago, and it was perfect! Enough capacity for the cheesy potato soup he was making (we always make enough for leftovers with soups and stews), no issues with sticking at all, got up to temperate, and held it well. It's lightweight, which is wonderful for such a large pan! Well constructed and a good flat surface on top and bottom for easy cooking and perfect heat coverage." — Patricia A Rufus Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in six colors). 16. A wood polish and conditioner so you can revive your embarrassingly worn, dinged, and dented cabinets, bed frame, and armoire as quick as a flash. Plus, this method is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing the wood or furniture piece, and using this polish on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer. Promising review: "What is this sorcery?! I've been slowly replacing my hand-me-down furniture with mid-century beauties. The pieces I can afford are in good but not perfect shape. There are scratches, dents, scuffs, etc. This stuff is MAGIC. It doesn't help the physical dents, obviously, but it virtually erases the color defects so your eyes don't even register the damage. I bought this after seeing it in a BuzzFeed article about must-have household care products, and this really is essential. After I used it on my bedroom suite, I tried it on my door frames, and WOW. My house is old, built in the '60s, and the tired, worn-down wood has come back to life! This is a long-term relationship, and I will always have some on hand." — Lisa McCool Get it from Amazon for $9.53. 17. A Thermacell rechargeable mosquito repeller that'll create a 20-foot 'squito-free zone for up to six-and-a-half hours. If you're not looking to be a mozzie meal this summer, you'll wanna have this on hand for any and all outdoor gatherings! The fast-charging deck recharges the device to full in just two hours. It also comes with a 36-hour refill cartridge. Promising review: "Mosquitos are relentless in my neighborhood. Living at the top of a hill with plenty of trees, bushes, and constantly watered plants means these little pests are always lurking. I've tried rosemary and citronella plants, candles, and sprays, but somehow, they still find me. This rechargeable repellent puts up a solid defense, covering 20 feet, which is enough for most of my patio. It does take about 10–15 minutes to kick in, so I make sure to turn it on before heading outside. Once it's up and running, I can actually sit and relax without swatting at the air every few seconds. No DEET, no weird smells, and no batteries to replace. Just a simple way to keep the bites away." — luxylu Get it from Amazon for $34.88. 18. A no-tools-required dual-showerhead to make tandem showers a romantic experience instead of fighting with your partner because someone is roasty toasty under the showerhead, and the other person is shivering in the back of the tub. Parents love this thing for getting kids in and out of the shower without fights over the water. Boona is a small business on a mission to make showers more enjoyable, whether you're showering alone or with a partner. Promising review: "This is a high-quality product that's straightforward to install. The water pressure is incredible! It's like a brand-new shower. You can adjust which showerhead the water comes out of individually or both simultaneously. It's a game changer for our kids, so they don't fight over the water anymore!" — Taylor Get it from Amazon for $249+ (available in three colors and with or without a second showerhead). 19. A Tub Topper because parents everywhere, bathtime is about to change forever. It attaches with suction cups to the lip of the tub and acts as a splash guard, toy tray, and a fun zone thanks to the flat surface, which allows for play. Amazon Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys, and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" — Brianna Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors). 20. An enamel paint for metal appliances that look well used. Swipe it on scratched or rusted fridges, bathtubs, metal bed frames, and washers/dryers, and you'll swear your appliances look straight from the sales floor. Some reviewers even use it to redo their countertops or sinks, although you might want to use an acrylic sealer afterward if you decide to do that! According to one reviewer, it's fantastic for vintage appliances, too. Promising review:"Oh my goodness! This stuff is amazing! I remodeled my bathroom, and the washer and dryer looked terrible. One coat of this, and they look brand new! I'm going to add another coat today just to make it extra durable." — Linda Forester Get a quart from Amazon for $26.59. 21. Some white caulk tape if the previous caulk job in your bathroom leaves much to be desired, or if you installed a new toilet and now there's a gap between the toilet base and the floor. Use this in the bathroom Promising review: "I recently used this toilet sealing tape to give my bathroom a cleaner, more polished look, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The tape adheres perfectly to the base of the toilet, creating a seamless and professional finish. It's durable, water-resistant, and keeps dirt and moisture from accumulating in hard-to-clean areas. Installation was simple and hassle free, with no mess or fuss. The bright white color complements the flooring beautifully, enhancing the overall aesthetic of my bathroom. This tape is a game changer for anyone looking to add a neat and protective barrier around their toilet. Highly recommended!" — Hayden Scott Get a roll from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors and three lengths). 22. A portable 120-inch movie screen so you can move your family movie night outdoors. It's lightweight yet sturdy, large enough for everyone (and probably the neighbors) to see, and reviewers say setup takes mere minutes. Promising review:"I love the size and the fact that it takes five minutes to set up and five minutes to take down. Very portable and lightweight to carry. Very sturdy. I would highly recommend." — Kathi Get it from Amazon for $94.95 (also available in a smaller 100-inch version). 23. A touch-up paint pen that'll fill in minor chips or paint over stains in tight areas where a larger brush simply wouldn't fit. It's also great for detail work; reviewers rave about it, especially for line and stencil work. Slobproof is a woman-owned small business. Promising review:"Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints, and so far, they've stayed usable without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker, and it works okay." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99. 24. A pack of shelf dividers to organize your clothes into neat and distinct piles. These dividers stabilize soft clothes (and even books and handbags) that tend to fall over into one big pile of mess. Promising review:"These work great! They work so well that I installed them and forgot them. My bureau is pretty deep, and my clothes would all fall on top of each other and become a big mess. Now I'm pretty organized with my T-shirts." — Pathfndr Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 25. A pack of carborundum sponges because these are the heavy hitters you'll want for stains and gunk that no other sponge is strong enough to handle. Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe I'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! The faucet looks new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." — Hoarder Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses). 26. A Wet & Forget exterior spray (from the makers of the beloved Wet & Forget shower spray) for a low-effort solution to the algae, moss, mildew, and mold buildup on your stone walkway. Simply spray and walk away! Over time, stains will fade — and they can stay gone for up to a year. Promising review:"Love the fact that you just spray and let it do its thing. No rinse-off or anything. My outdoor rugs were a little drab after the winter, and this brought them back to like. No scrubbing either. Worked well." — Chasing Fireflies Get it from Amazon for $19.84. 27. Some Command cord bundlers if your house is full of gadgets and gizmos aplenty, and their cords are ugly and sprawled over every surface of your home. Tie them up neatly and stick 'em to your devices so you never have to go rooting around for a rubber band. Promising review: "I've only used it on a few appliances, but the one getting the most action would be the one on our coffee maker. It can't be adhered to surfaces that get hot (like a slow cooker), so I was able to find a spot that doesn't when we use it, and it has held up great so far. I've been using it for a few months, and so far, so good. I hate having cords trailing around on the counter, and this helped fix that. Worth the investment." — TravelBuff Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.26. 28. A magnetic screen door so you can let in the cool breeze (while keeping *out* the buggies) and prevent yourself from having to let your dog out every 10 minutes. Why do dogs stand at the door and bark until you let them out, only to bark at the door asking to come back in 30 seconds later??? Promising review: "We got this screen so our dog can go in and out freely without letting the bugs in. At first he wasn't quite sure about going through it; in fact he scratched at it signaling us to open it for him. But after a few training treats he figured it out. Installation was so easy! The Velcro, fabric, and mesh all seem very good quality. I'm also happy that we can take down the screen in the winter and store away easily, then just reattach it in the spring. Very happy with my purchase!" — Crystal K Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in five sizes). 29. A hanging curved lounge chair that'll keep you shaded and comfy as you chill by the pool. Now's the perfect time (and this is the perfect place) to curl up and crack open that book you said you were going to read. Promising review:"The only problem I have with this chair is that I only have one of them, and the whole family now fights over it! Seriously, it is THAT comfortable and relaxing. Pretty easy to put together. My husband got it all assembled in less than an hour and then proceeded to open up a beer and fall asleep in it next to the pool. HA! I like to take my laptop out with me and work in it as the moveable umbrella shades my screen. Love love LOVE it!!" — Erin S Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in 16 colors).

28 Quick-Fix Solutions To Common Home Problems
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. No way we're spending more than five minutes cleaning the mold and mildew from the shower. 1. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip. Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything.

These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99. 2. Some bedsheet tags that'll simplify both the bed-making and sheet-storing processes. Instead of wondering if this is the queen or king-size sheets or laying out the flat sheet only to realize it's turned the wrong way, you'll Bed Corner Labels is a woman-owned small business based in Hermosa Beach, California. These labels can be left on sheets while they're in the washer and dryer. They can also be detached and reattached a limited number of times. Promising review: "They're easy to attach to sheets and look better than the safety pin I was using to designate the long side of my king-sized sheets." — ESimms5555 Get four labels from Bed Corner Labels on Etsy for $13.75+ (available in larger sets and nine styles). 3. A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air! Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99. 4. A mold and mildew remover gel because you can set it, forget it, and come back in a few hours to see grout that looks like new. I'm talking basically every speck of black mold is gone! *Cues up "Do You Believe in Magic"* Promising review:"Wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. We've had issues for a few years with the caulking behind the handle of our kitchen faucet turning black from mildew. We've scrubbed with what seems like a million different products with no luck. We were actually just talking about ripping out the caulking and doing a total replacement. But my husband saw this online the other day and decided to order it. Almost immediately, when he applied it, you could see it was starting to work. We left it on overnight, and the black is COMPLETELY GONE! It's incredible. It's 1,000% worth the (small) investment. Seriously — just buy this. It's amazing!!" — Nicole D. Check out our Skylarlife mold and mildew removal gel review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 5. And a bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray to make soap scum and shower grime buildup vanish without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone. Amazon Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that, no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda, would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits, dirt, and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents). 6. A pet hair roller if you love your fur babies but hate how much they everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!! Promising review:"Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." — DH Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 7. A laundry guard so clothes can't fall behind your washing machine/dryer, never to be seen again. This adjustable shelf attaches via magnets to save you from hunting for lost socks or having to move a heavy machine to snag a fallen dress. Amazon Haus Maus is a family-owned small business. Promising review: "Really wish I had thought to design this myself. But here it goes. Love that it's magnetic. This makes it highly durable if and when there are vibrations or an unstable load in either the washer or dryer. This stays put. I haven't had any issues with it not staying and have not lost any items since getting this. A++" — Suzanne McCurdy Get it from Amazon for $32.95. 8. A water dispenser leveler that'll probably elicit a literal "OMG" from you now that you know there is a solution to the annoying problem of it being nearly impossible to fully fill a glass with water from the fridge because of the current angle of the spout. Packard 3D Designs is a Maryland-based small business run by mechanical engineer Austin Packard. Promising reviews: "Game changer for our fridge. We had to adjust our shelves a bit, but it was way worth it to have this thing fit!" — Alex McGee "This has made getting water from my refrigerator much easier for my grandkids and me." — Susan Get it from Packard 3D Designs on Etsy for $25 (available in white or gray). 9. A Windex outdoor glass cleaner for homeowners who are tired of sighing in disappointment when they look at their dirty windows but ain't no way, ain't no how they're getting on a ladder to clean those floor-to-ceiling windows. Just attach the bottle of Windex to a hose, spray the solution, and you're done! Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" — Helen Simmons Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.96. 10. A double-layer cat litter-trapping mat because pesky crystals and pebbles are always trying to hitch a ride on your cat's paws after they leave the litter box. Then you can just dump the trapped litter right back into their box! Promising review: " These are the most effective litter mats that I've ever tried. This is the fourth different litter mat that I've tried. Nothing else has been effective with the three litter boxes that are kept on both hardwood and carpet. I got one at first to see if I liked it and then bought two more. The holes are deep enough that they catch everything and all you have to do is open it like an envelope to dump it out. I've had no issues with stuff getting stuck in the holes, either. I do use corncob litter, so I can't say anything as to the effectiveness of it with clay litter." — DisaRae Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 11. A pack of double shower hooks to save you time when you wanna toss your dirty shower curtain liner in the washing machine. Now, you don't have to remove the shower curtain, too (and then inevitably hang it up backward). And one certified genius even used the hooks as pant hangers. *mind blown* Promising review:"Wow. Game-changer. I have to change my shower curtain liner a lot because of a humid bathroom (yes, even with a fan on 😬). Though there are greater issues in the world, why wouldn't you want to save yourself some time with these hooks? Not having to take the curtain off each time I change the liner has really been more satisfying than I had anticipated. An added bonus is the rings themselves: The balls that were added hug the shower curtain rod, so they never pop off. Something I never knew I needed either. Love these!" — Jdbouchart Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 12 finishes). 12. An outlet extender if your bed, couch, cabinets, etc., can't lie flat against the wall because a pesky cord is in the way. This adapter has three outlets, so you can push your bed flat against the wall and still plug in the charger. Amazon Promising review: "I have been looking for a solution that would allow for a nightstand and also a dresser to be pushed up against a wall even with things plugged into the outlet behind that furniture. I FOUND IT. This wall outlet extender does exactly what it says it will do. I have a fan, clock radio, and watch charger plugged into it and can still move the nightstand right up against the wall. The light on the dresser no longer forces the dresser to be out a couple of inches; it, too, can be pushed right up against the wall, and the cord is not in danger of getting crushed and becoming a fire hazard. A game changer! I will be ordering a few more." — Lynda L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.88 (available in white and black). 13. A crack weeder tool so your knuckles aren't scratched and bloodied after a session of sidewalk weed pulling. This stainless steel tool is designed to get into tight sidewalk cracks and remove stubborn thistles, weeds, and moss with ease. Promising review: "We purchased this tool to help clean up our brick paver patio. There were many small, pesky weeds coming through even after using some natural and non-natural weed killers and we wanted to get it cleaned up before power washing and re-sanding. This little tool made it so easy to get those weeds out by the roots. We waited until after a big rain here so the soil beneath was loose, then after trying it out to be sure it would pull things out by the roots, we put my son on it! Our patio hasn't looked this good in years. It has been two weeks, and — yes, we re-sanded, too — the little clover and creeping Charlie weeds are nowhere to be found. I plan to use it on the little ones that are near our sidewalk and driveway next." — Mom of Four Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three styles). 14. A pack of towel clips that'll prevent kids and pets from pulling down the towel. Or, maybe you have neither of those things, yet your hand and kitchen towels always end up on the ground. Amazon Promising review: "This clip is amazing. No more towels falling on the floor. It was becoming a routine thing since my cat thinks it's fun to pull the kitchen towels off the oven. Not now, bad kitty! Great I had bought one sooner!" — Joanna Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 15. An acrylic organizing case perfect for belts (although you can use it for jewelry, watches, knickknacks, etc.) who are currently seeking a home that's not a drawer (where you lose track of what belts you own because you can't see everything) or slung over the closet rod (where they'll inevitably fall). Promising review: "I like how well they are made and how you can stack them or mount them on a wall. We used ours for belts and ties, and they work great. I own a cleaning business, and a client of mine had them in his closet when we were dusting. I asked him where he got them from and then I purchased them as well. I love them! I will be buying more." — Brenda Lamberti Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 16. A two-tier sliding shelf because there are cabinets in your home that everyone knows to absolutely never open for fear of triggering an avalanche of junk. These durable baskets are up to the task of corralling all the random bits and bobs you own, so every bit of storage space is usable. Promising review: "I saw great reviews on this item, so I took the plunge and ordered two sets of them. They were a little pricey, but I am so happy with the product that I think the price was completely worthwhile! These organizers are much better than other plastic drawers I have used in the past. With the way they are designed, items don't get stuck in the drawers, they are easy to slide, they are spacious, and they have little removable 'sectionals' that you can use to organize the inside of the drawers. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I would make it again in a heartbeat." — Tess De Pretis Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five colors, with or without dividers, and in multipacks). 17. A space-creating "Sink Topper" to function as both a surface for your beauty products as well as a heat-resistant mat for hot tools *and* a makeup brush cleaning mat (thanks to its textured surface)! Sink Topper is a small business that specializes in household-friendly organizing mats. Promising review:"I was introduced to this item through TikTok, and they aren't joking when they place certain videos on your 'For You page' because they knew that I NEEDED THIS. It is super helpful for small sinks, and I love the material. It doesn't slide around, it's wide enough for all my (at the moment) bathroom needs, and I can easily fold it up and take it anywhere with me." — Allie West Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven colors and two sizes). 18. A container of Museum Gel if little hands (or little paws) are constantly knocking your precious valuables from the shelves. Just a little dab of this gel will lock your things in place. But don't worry, reviewers say it's easy to remove! Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and I absolutely love it. I use it to keep my drawer organizers from sliding around. This stuff is amazing, and I wish I had known about it forever ago." — Abby Get it from Amazon for $11.46. 19. A pair of hat racks so you can actually see all the hats you own. Promising review: "I purchased these because my husband and I have a lot of ball caps. These worked really well for us. They came with two different installation options: something you could screw into the wall and an adhesive. We went for the adhesive option. We installed two in our closet. Easy to stack hats on top so they are out of the way and organized." — Erin Adkins Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in black and white). 20. A pack of solar-powered waterproof deck lights that'll illuminate all the dark areas outside your home. Attach them to deck railings, on the side of your stairs, to your fence, and wherever else it's a little spooky at night. Promising review:"These lights were easy to install and look great on our deck. We just had a pool built and needed some light on the steps of the deck so we could see walking up the steps at night. They're beautiful without too much light." — BJ Get 16 from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in a warm white or color-changing style). 21. Some no-drill magnetic door stoppers for holding open those annoying doors that just magically close on their own. Amazon, Promising review: "So easy to install! Just stick one side and then the other, and it's done! It's been three weeks, and it is still holding firm. It's a magnet, so gently hold the door until it clicks, and then another gentle push to unlock it. Great for an elderly woman who kept getting caught in the door of her apartment!!!" — Amazon Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.98 (available in black, silver, and white). 22. A Tub Topper because parents everywhere, bathtime is about to change forever. It attaches with suction cups to the lip of the tub and acts as a splash guard, toy tray, and a fun zone thanks to the flat surface, which allows for play. Amazon Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" — Brianna Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors). 23. A self-closing, mess-free toothpaste cap to spare you from the gag-inducing situation you're currently in: dried toothpaste crusted all over the tube and the bathroom counter. Parents especially sing its praises, saying it helps prevent waste by dispensing just the right amount of toothpaste, keeping toothbrushing a mess-free affair. Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess, and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one, but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." — Kimberly C. Get a set of three from Amazon for $7.94+ (available in three styles). 24. A tube of peel-and-stick contact paper if your kitchen appliances could use a little zhuzhing. With a little patience, you can turn your dated white fridge into a "stainless-steel" beauty. Promising review:"This stainless-steel wrap worked out great! Our fridge now matches the rest of our appliances. I like how it's thicker than normal contact paper. It made it much easier to install." — rach Get a 15.8-inch x 78.8-inch roll from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes). 25. A pack of duster sponges so spring cleaning is easy peasy lemon squeezy. Simply wet your sponge and wipe away the dust! BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer gives them a big thumbs up: "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 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 a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in six color combinations and in packs of four and eight). 26. A mattress lifter that'll help you elevate your very heavy mattress and allow you to more easily tuck in the sheets. No more straining your back, propping your mattress awkwardly on your knee or shoulder, or calling in backup when it's time to make the bed. Amazon Promising review: "My spouse asked that I look into a product that helps lift a mattress, and she had seen this in an advertisement on the TV. This plastic tool aids in lifting a mattress so that sheets can be changed on the mattress. She told me that this product made it easier to lift the mattress and that her hands no longer ached as much as they did without using the product. She is satisfied with the product, and if she is, then I am also. I would order it again." — Thomas Reed Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 27. A no-drill window shelf for all the sun-loving plants you own, even if you don't *actually* have enough windowsill space for their pots. Bam! Now you do! Design House Boutique / Etsy 28. Luigi's sink and drain plunger, because it's-a-me, a mini tool that will help you live your best plumber life. But seriously, this handy blue guy will help clear backed-up kitchen and bathroom sinks with 8x the volume of air compared to a traditional plunger. Promising review:"Y'all, this thing is amazing! My kitchen sink was completely clogged for four days. I've been trying to clear the drain with a different sink plunger that I already had, and it didn't do diddly-squat. I was about to give up and call a plumber. Then I decided to order this one, and it just completely cleared the drain in like three minutes. So then I decided to take it to the bathroom sink that had been draining extremely slowly and within a minute, I had the water running so quickly and smoothly again. I got the small one, and it's the perfect size for kitchen and bathroom sinks." — JNeen

If Your Home Were A Business, These 31 Products Would All Be Up For Employee Of The Month
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. Time to start crafting a tiny comemorative plaque for the water-absorbing crystals that brought your houseplant back to life. 1. Ceiling fan carbon filters because I KNOW you've been slacking when it comes to dusting up there. Now you can do the opposite of kicking up a dust storm when you turn on the fan. The carbon filter pads snag dust, pollen, mold spores, smoke, dander, and other allergens right out of the air. Just swap out the filters every 1–3 months. Barnakl is a small business. Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99. 2. A set of massively popular moisture-wicking double-brushed microfiber sheets so soft and cuddly, you'll feel like you're staying at a 5-star hotel. You'll forget aaaalll about thread count when you slide into these sheets. LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets. P romising review: 'LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning, just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look a,t and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ' — Shannon Warfel Get it from Amazon for $29.71+ (available in sizes Twin–California King, with deep pockets, and in 40 styles). 3. A pack of Monkey Hooks to hang just about anything on drywall WITHOUT tools. Push the monkey tail-shaped hook into the wall and twist — you'll have a sturdy hook for hanging picture frames, mirrors, and plants faster than you can peel a banana. Promising review: "Ordered these to hang a mirror for my daughter. She has the tendency to want to change things around in her room, and these hooks caught my eye. They are well-designed and easy to use. No tools needed. The little plastic install guides help keep the hole straight but is not required. They are removable and reusable, which serves our purpose well. They are low impact and create a small hole that is easier to patch than some of the screw-in or hammer-in type wall anchors. Would recommend!!!" — JP21 Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $13.49. 4. A mesh screen cleaner with two handles so you can actually see out of your screen door again. Oh, look! New neighbors. The pad can be used wet or dry and has long fibers that deep clean in between the gaps in the screen. Promising review: "This thing is the greatest invention since sliced bread! It actually works! Works great at cleaning all my screens, from the small home screens to our large patio screen. We live in southern Utah, where red dirt/dust is everywhere, and this simple tool takes the work out of cleaning screens. My secret to using this tool is to have a bucket of sudsy water to dip the head into occasionally as you run it up and down and side by side. No streaks, no dirt, no fuss; plus, it's gentle on the screen. I definitely recommend this product and seller." — KarenLynn Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 5. A pack of carborundum sponges — YES, the stuff they make bulletproof vest plates out of — because tough jobs require tough solutions. Just dip one of these in water and start scouring — the nano-particles will get to work scraping off stubborn stains in your kitchen, garage, or outdoors. The high density sponges are squishy on the inside with an emery layer on the outside. They can be cut into smaller chunks for cleaning nooks and crannies. Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe i'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." — Hoarder Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses). 6. A set of wood repair markers ready to turn back the hands of time to before your cat went to town on all your chair legs. It'll feel like an art project, but you'll end up with refreshed wood furniture. The kit comes with markers, crayons for deeper scratches, and a sharpener. Tip: Some reviewers suggest applying the marker and then quickly wiping it with a paper towel to avoid over-applying. Promising review: "This product did a great job on my severely scratched wood flooring. I used it in a rental home and on our own floors. The markers did a great job on the wood flooring and there are several colors you can sort of mix and match to get the right shade. It dries with a slight shiny, waxy shine. Good value for the money! The wax pencils work OK, too, but the markers did fantastic. They didn't repair the wood but certainly hid some of the damage. To me, well worth the price." — Reviewer Get a set of six markers and six crayons for $8.88. 7. And Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to give your furniture an impossibly lustrous shine previously never seen in your home. The carnauba wax and beeswax enhance and protect your wood from drying out, so you can keep your great-grandmother's rocking chair in tip-top shape with just a few swipes. Many reviewers started by using Restor-A-Finsh to blend out minor scratches before finishing with the Feed-N-Wax. It's as simple as wiping on and off! Promising review:"I got this product a few hours ago from Amazon and now have shiny floors! It gave the really dull hardwood floors of my prewar NYC apartment an impressive shine. Really impressive. A little goes a long way: I used only about two ounces to shine about 500 square feet of clean floors. Before using it on the floors, I tested the polish on an old wooden side table that is scarred and needs sanding. It looked a lot better afterwards." — KindleCustomer2 Get it from Amazon for $10.47+ (available in three sizes). 8. A set of plastic shoe cubbies so you can finally take care of Shoe Mountain. No mystery here: Your guests will appreciate not having to climb over your pile of sneakers, and your boots will appreciate not being squished into pancakes. Promising review:"I used to have a two-tier metal rack that was nowhere near enough storage space, and there were always shoes all over the floor. I put this together in a rather short while, and now my closet is clean! Totally love this because it is so spacious, and you can build it in any shape you want." — Mama D Get a 15-cube set from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 9. Dryer vent cleaners to banish all the dust and debris that's been hiding just beneath the filter that you actually do clean regularly. How sneaky! It'll improve your dryer's performance and prevent fire risks, all without the need to buy a new machine. Promising review:"I was a little skeptical when I took this out of the package, yet my doubt turned to joy LOL. These are a great buy, and I believe I will serve my dryer well past its lifetime. My dryer is only a year old and I ALWAYS, after every use, clean the lint filter. I was surprised how much settles to the base of the dryer underneath the filter trap. You may have to use this a few times, depending on your machine, to get all the lint out, but at least you'll get results. Yes, I know its easier to use the vacuum to get it out, I prefer not lugging the vacuum out for this and this is cheaper AND I can give one away since they give you two." — P. Andersen Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 10. A power strip with an ultra-thin outlet cover so you can enjoy all your ports without dealing with bulky cords getting in the way of keeping your furniture flush to the wall. Promising review:"The design of this is great. I always hated putting plugs behind furniture and either not using the plug, or the furniture being inches away from the wall. This is the perfect solution. I have a few of these now behind couches and dressers in the house and they are great. This is more expensive than some other flat extension cords but I think the look and quality of these is worth it." — Adam C. Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four sizes and two styles). 11. Erase-A-Hole putty to fix cracks in drywall, plaster, and wood that are giving your place a sorta-haunted vibe. It's as easy as applying ChapStick — just rub it in! The handheld applicator uses a custom formula that minimizes shrinking and withstands sanding. Promising review:"I love this stuff! It's super easy to use, and it flawlessly [hides] anything from nail holes to larger drywall anchor holes. Bonus that my walls are white and I can even get away with not repainting if I do a clean job! I hope they never stop making this stuff." — bookworm Get it from Amazon for $14.89 (also available in multipacks). 12. A Pikk-it tool offering a quick solution to one of life's little miseries: wondering why your vacuum isn't sucking (in a good way) and discovering that the brush is completely cocooned in loose hair. This handy tool will free your roller from its hairy prison so it can proceed up more hair. Bonus: You can also use this tool to pick strands out of your hair brush! Amazon, Promising review: "You need this. This is a lifesaver. The amount of time I used to spend cutting out hair from my vacuum brush/roller has been cut by a fraction with this little tool. Wow!" — Holly "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 13. Hope's Perfect Sink solution that cleans and then basically creates a water-repellant force field over your sink to protect it from stains and damage. It works on everything from stainless steel to porcelain (along with cast iron, corian, composite, acrylic, etc.), ensuring that your sink rinses clean and shines like new, no matter how many cups of coffee you pour on it. Sue Storm would approve! BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves this stain-removing polish: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink, and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sin,k and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here." Promising review:"Holy banana peppers! This stuff ROCKS! I hate cleaning. You clean, stuff looks okay and smells nice for like an hour, and then it's as if you've never cleaned. We have a deep stainless steel sink that I love, except for the cleaning. It never looks clean, so cleaning it isn't exactly rewarding. I mean, I clean it because germs, pandemic, etc, but I don't like anything about it. I saw this on some BuzzFeed "things you should buy on Amazon" and ordered it. And ignored it. Now, as there's a quarantine, even as an essential worker, I really have no excuse to not clean. Sigh. I splooshed some in the sink, like I did with Barkeeper's Friend liquid, and scrubbed away as usual. However, when I went to rinse, it was all sparkly and shiny and the water beaded up! I seriously made my husband and daughter come into the kitchen to look at my sparkly sink! This is the cleanest this sink has ever been, and I seriously LOVE this product! Off to order more before you all read my review and discover its true awesomeness. I didn't take any pictures before because why the hell would I do that, but believe me, the difference is amazing!!" — Amazon Customer Get the value size from Amazon for $29.95 or the smaller size for $9.95. 14. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets designed to attack built-up detergent scum, dirt, and general grossness so your clothes can get as clean as possible. Throw in a tablet, run a normal wash cycle, and congratulate yourself on a chore well done. Promising review: "I didn't think I would ever be so excited about such a thing as washing machine cleaning tablets. I also never realized how dirty my washing machine was. It now sparkles, doesn't smell musty, and has removed so much gunk from around the drum/gasket. You should get these." — AVDW Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in packs of three and five). 15. And a dishwasher cleaner and disinfectant to help make the thing that cleans your clean. Its citrusy formula helps remove limescale, rust, grease, and other nasty buildup so your machine can run more efficiently, and you don't have to pick up the slack. Read our review of Affresh cleaning tablets! Promising reviews:"I'm so glad I discovered this cleanser. The plumbing backed up…the smell lingered after several cycles with bleach, baking soda, vinegar, and dishwasher detergent. I almost gave in to purchasing a new dishwasher before discovering Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner. It worked after the first use. I now use it monthly." — lejay Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.98. 16. A blessedly effective, pet-safe carpet cleaning solution capable of turning your brown carpet into whatever color it was when you bought it without having to invest several hours into a scrub session. It works with all cleaning machines, even the rental ones from the hardware store. Promising reviews:"This is a wonderful product. I have an older dog who can't always wait until I get home from work, so accidents occasionally happen. I have a Hoover Rug Scrubber, and this product is very easy to use with my machine. Carpet Miracle works amazingly well on stains and odors, even those that have set for a while. I did the carpet in the 'room of shame' twice just to be sure, although for normal soil and odors, once should be more than enough. It leaves behind a wonderfully clean, fresh scent, and the carpet feels and looks wonderful. I plan on continuing to use this product to keep my carpets clean and my home smelling fresh." — Vicky Faurot "I wish I could give it 100 stars. I have never really did a review on here but I had to today. This is the best carpet cleaner I have ever used hands down, love it." — cliffcharles Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 17. A luxury-scented candle that internet sleuths figured out smells just like the way pricier Le Labo Santal 33. It has an impressive throw, meaning you can actually fill your home with its calming jasmine, oud, and sandalwood scent instead of having to stick your nose right up to the flame. Amazon If you're wondering what oud is, think of the smell of fallen trees in the woods after a hard rain. Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. Promising review: "I have been searching high and low for a good candle that's reminiscent of Le Labo's Santal 33, and this is it! And for a fraction of the cost. This will definitely be a repeat purchase, please don't ever discontinue this scent!" — Lindsay Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in seven sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). 18. A Chom Chom pet hair remover if you'd prefer your furniture to be fur-free. It has a sticky roller (no wasteful adhesive strips) that clings to hair and deposits it into a built-in compartment. You can tell Fido to stay off the couch all you want, but dogs don't speak Human! Instead, use this reusable roller to reclaim your seating. Promising review:"Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care — it's THAT good." — DH Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors). 19. A tea bag organizer for avid tea drinkers who are sick of getting hit with an avalanche of boxes every time they open their cupboard. This slim device can fit up to 120 standard-sized bags. This is brought to you by the small business YouCopia. Promising review:"It holds so many; the storage capacity is wild! It was able to clean up all of our various types of tea boxes and slim down the space. I should have bought this sooner." — BB Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes). 20. A bio-enzymatic odor and stain spray to help with accidents that happen sometimes. The formula creates a nice, deep-cleaning lather, so pee spots, vomit, and stubborn stains can be easily and thoroughly erased. Promising review: "This pet odor eliminator is a game-changer! It effectively neutralizes unpleasant smells, leaving the room smelling fresh without a harsh chemical scent. Easy to use, it works on everything from furniture to carpets, tackling both surface odors and deep-set smells." — Dan Kline Get it from Amazon for $15.96. 21. A set of paint touch-up pens for when you start to notice scuffs on your walls but don't want to commit to a full paint job. Just fill the pens up with paint, and you can forgo the whole roller brush entirely. This is also ideal for hiding any oopsies from your landlord when they do a walkthrough, looking for excuses to keep your security deposit. Slobproof, Slobproof is a small business that specializes in home improvement products. Some reviewers use these for detail work on designs and murals. As an added bonus, these are totally airtight, so the paint in them won't dry out if you don't finish up the paint in the pen all at once. Promising review:"These are genius! They work so well and make it no hassle to quickly retouch small areas that get scratched up. Never knew something like this existed, and now am in love with them!" — Jeff Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in packs of five). 22. And a WD-40 pen that provides all the same benefits as the spray can (quieting squeaks, lubricating hinges, preventing rust, etc.) but now with an easy-to-maneuver, precise pen tip. You could just walk around your home, touching up every hinge you see! Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available with a trucker hat for some reason). 23. A pair of fan light pull cords so you can finally know which turns on the fan and which turns on the light. What an ~illuminating~ product! Promising review:"I'm pleased with the length and how easy it was to adjust and install. The pieces feel solid and not easily broken." — AHMH Get them from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two lengths and three finishes). 24. A silicone freezing tray that lets you section your leftover food into perfect frozen portions so you don't have to unfrost your entire vat of black beans every time you want a single serving. It's also oven-safe up to 415 degrees so you can bake little slices of brownies or bread. It comes with a lid to help maintain freshness and keep out odors. It's made of food-safe silicone that's BPA free and dishwasher safe. It's great for little sides of beans, sauces, soups, and more. Souper Cubes is a small business that also sells cookie trays and stoneware. Promising review:"So happy that I found these. I'm the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it's impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I'm ready for the next batch!" — Debbie R. Texas Check out my colleague's Souper Cubes review. Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 25. A rust-removing gel spray – you may be tempted to say "abracadabra" as you use it. It's that magical! The powerful gel clings to rust on contact, so you can watch stains start melting off your tiles immediately; no scrubbing needed. Use this for cleaning bathtubs, showers, toilets, colorfast fabrics, vertical surfaces, and hard-to-reach spots. It's nonabrasive and made with a nonhydrofluoric acid-based formula. Promising review:"Holy wizardry! Seriously, it was more work to clean the mirror over the vanity than to use this product. With almost no effort, this made my dark orange, iron-water shower stall white again. I definitely suggest wearing a mask or bandana and running the ventilation fan if spraying in an enclosed area. Great product!" — Jessica B Get it from Amazon for $11.35. 26. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals that'll prevent both under- *and* over-watering, which I believe are the top two killers of plants. When you water your houseplants, the crystals retain the moisture and release it as the soil dries. Amazon, This works for both indoor and outdoor plants. Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." — Pattijwr Get it from Amazon for $10.28. 27. The Pink Stuff, an all-purpose paste that you can use to clean basically any surface — it works on everything from marble and wood to rubber boots and car steering wheels. Wasting time scrubbing will be a thing of the past. And the future? Sparkly clean items as far as the eye can see. Promising review:"Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We've since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We'll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." — Nancy F. Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 28. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers for people who often forget to clean the drain after a shower and too squeamish to maintain a device like the TubShroom. You can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested. Promising review:"For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." — MER Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack). 29. A Capri Blue Volcano-scented multipurpose cleaner — yes, that's right, the signature Anthropologie scent — to make cleaning feel extra rewarding. Now you can clean and leave behind a luxurious scent that'll have guests looking at your home in a new light. Was it always so chic in here? Promising review: "This stuff smells SO good! Like a sweet, sugary citrus, but not overpowering so, just a light fresh scent. The smell lasts forever. I used a kitchen towel to wipe my counters down and then hung the towel up and the next day I could still smell it when I walked into the kitchen. For the scent alone, I would purchase this again! As for cleaning ... it is not a disinfectant, it is just a general multipurpose cleaner, so I wouldn't use it to clean toilets or anything like that. It does a WONDERFUL job at cleaning and cutting grime and grease though. It actually surprised me! It doesn't leave residue or streaks but does leave a clean shiny surface. The bottle is plenty big. The only con is that the spray mechanism doesn't work the greatest. Sometimes it sticks. I use glass spray bottles so I just put it in one of those to solve that issue. Overall, definitely recommend!" — Joshua Get it from Amazon for $15. 30. Dawn Powerwash, an impressive spray-on dish soap capable of giving you those clean swipes through nightmarish messes previously only seen in commercials. Spray this on dishes, but you can also use it to tackle dirty range hoods, backsplashes, bathtubs, grills, or anywhere else with caked-on food or dirt. Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. Promising reviews: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." — Kimba " The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 JK, I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly 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 (also available in other pack styles and two other scents). 31. A rapid egg cooker so you can stop settling for overcooked hardboiled eggs with gross gray yolks. You deserve better. Along with hardboiled eggs, this thing can make omelets and poached and scrambled eggs, all without close supervision. Promising review:"I was skeptical when I ordered it but use it constantly. I live in barracks and do not have a stove. I bought it for boiled eggs but use it much more for breakfast burritos. Super easy. Butter tray, put in egg and water, press the button, and walk away. By time I'm dressed for work it's ready. Throw it in a tortilla and walk out with it. More nutritious than Pop-Tarts. It does hard-boiled eggs well but don't assume thats all its good for. Great for college kids, military people, traveling workers, or anyone without access to a full kitchen." — a.l.s Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in eight colors).

Shopping · Ceiling fan carbon filters, bedsheet clips, a soup can safe, and other products that'll be worth the impulse buy. 1.

Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.79. 2. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener (made with a *chef's kiss* mix of hydraulic acid and shea butter) which became a knockout success once reviewers started raving en mass about the product's instant invisible coverage. If you're looking for quick and easy results that suggest you don't even require come to the right brightener. The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 3. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner — this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.69! Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three styles). 4. A bottle of Better Life all-natural tile and tub cleaner that'll banish soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, and hard-water stains from tired, worn-down tiles. Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin Get it from Amazon for $16.18 (also available in multipacks). 5. An unreasonably chic wireless handheld vacuum with adjustable nozzles to best clean varied surfaces like keyboards, desks, furniture, and even the car! I'm currently thinking of the cereal box worth of corn puffs my toddler has thrown around our might be time to get this in *my* life. Amazon, Promising review:"Another 'TikTok made me buy it' purchase. I absolutely love this thing. Helps with cleaning my daughter's desk since she's homeschooling, and it's easy to use if you have to clean drawers." — Manisha Roopnarine Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in five colors). 6. A soup can safe — this is so realistic it'll put you at ease if you have a stack of cash or valuables you want tucked away, safely hidden in your food storage. Promising review: "I was amazed how real this looks, even side by side with the real thing. Of course, when you turn it over, you can see the compartment, and you will have to add weight if you want it to feel real, but just sitting in the pantry, it looks real!" — Brenda Get it from Amazon for $7.19. 7. A Pet House candle (my personal favorite is the Fireside scent) for families with smelly children of all kinds. Fur, infant, you name it. These are powerful odor eliminators *without* an overpowering scent. And unlike many candles, they're safe for pets! They aren't just covering up odor, they cleanse it and add a cozy scent on top. Even if I didn't have pets, these would be my go-to candle. Seriously. I have been using Pet House candles for *years* and I'm still surprised by how well they work. I recently moved into a loft apartment that is just one big room. I've tried dozens, and most candles simply can't fill the space with their scent. Pet House candles are the only ones that have managed to fill my home with a fresh, cozy smell! I keep putting these candles to the test, as I now have two cats *and* a baby and still get compliments on how great my place smells. I'll use these forever. Promising review: "Purchased the citrus scent. It does a phenomenal job providing a clean and fresh scent. Stands up to high priced candles. Removes any noticeable odor and replaces it with a pleasant scent. We light it for a couple hours when needed and then the smell stays for a while. Highly recommend." — lblynn Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in several scents). 8. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller so that cleanup is a breeze and it doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets but woof, shedding is their greatest skill. Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 9. A set of Wonder Hangers so you can stack outfits, categories, or even *colors* of clothes with a vertical system, using up closet space in the most efficient (and A-type-friendly) way possible. Amazon Each hanger can hold up to five garments. Wowza. Promising review:"I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white and the edges are smooth." — CAGH Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors). 10. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and cleanup!) with speed that feels downright magical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then just throw them right into the dishwasher! Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five styles and four colors). 11. A safety razor designed to be displayed upright and within site thanks to its included stand (available in a bunch of colors to best match your bathroom!). Keep your skin smooth and your bathroom looking *sharp* with this cute tool. Each pack includes 10 blades. You can also get an eyebrow razor from the same place! Promising review: "My daughter told me about this razor, saying that she has used this for years, so I went ahead and order one. That was the best decision ever. I will NEVER ever waste money buying razors again. You can keep this one forever. The razor is made with a good, strong material and it's pretty. It's easy to use, practical, easy to change the blades, and it will last you a long time. This is the last time you have to buy a razor. Do yourself a favor and buy this. You will save so much money it's crazy. Hope you love it as much as I do." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in 22 styles) 12. A pair of satin pillowcases for preventing bedhead and pillow creases on your face in the mornings *and* to help you slip into a silky smooth slumber every night thanks to their subtle cooling effect. Reviewers rave about these (seriously, they have over 200,000 5-star reviews!), saying they're an affordable alternative to ones that are typically $18 or more. Amazon Promising review:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 39 colors and five sizes). 13. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to polish your toilet without you ever having to touch a dirty toilet brush. With each flush, the stamp releases the cleaning gel, which foams and cleans your toilet. Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.67. 14. A set of bedsheet clips for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. Get this and keep those laundry clods from wasting precious drying time! Amazon Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. And 5% of profits are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association. Promising review:"Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" — katy Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack). 15. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll clean everything from pots and pans to blotches in your bathtub. Move over firefighters, I want a calendar of THIS sexy stuff and its shiny results. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.49. 16. An inconspicuous jar opener with a grippy corner so you can press up against a cabinet and twist the jar open with ease, because you're not gonna let arthritis (or poor upper body strength) get in the way of your pasta sauce and pickles. Promising review:"I bought this last year and have used it many times on many different lids, even use it to open gallon milk jugs when those pesky plastic attachments just won't seem to give. I haven't found anything I try that it won't open for me. No more banging on the counter, just hold it under my cabinet and slid it in the V-shaped opening, give it a little twist to open, hardly any effort at all. It was easy to attach under the cabinet, I put mine so the wide opening faces forward. I personally think every house should have one of these." — Addie Get It from Amazon for $15.99. 17. A set of shelf dividers to make stacking your folded laundry a much neater process. Promising review:"I love these! I just have a shelf on top of my closet. I keep my leggings there. These dividers separate the leggings and make everything so much more organized. I'm buying more to do my linen closet! You need these!" — Lynn Blue Get a pair from Amazon for $17.99. 18. A storage bean bag so your kid can use their signature "shove the mess where people can't see it" technique and still make their room look, you know, *actually* clean. Promising review:"This has saved my sanity!! Our stuffed animals and blankets always ended up all over the basement. Thanks to this awesome chair, they are now all contained and they make for a super cozy reading nook under the stairs. The quality seems excellent. I expect it will last for many years! The stuffed chair is also cozy – double win!" — Emily Heilman Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and eight styles). 19. A pack of two Downy fabric sprays — with this, you're *finally* gonna rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Danielle Healy has to say: Promising review:"I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer." Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in multiple pack styles). 20. A hanging garbage bag holder so you can easily dispose of your scraps without a trek to the trash can every single step of the recipe. Amazon Promising review:"I love this product because I'm always chopping vegetables and cutting up meat. I would be making several trips to the trash. Now I'm able to make meal prep quicker, easier, and cleaner! A good way to use up some of those plastic bags from the grocery store, too!" — Ellen Holcomb Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 21. A wrapping paper storage bag designed to *also* hold ribbons, bows, and gift bags — all with pockets just their size! If you dream of having a gift-wrapping room but only have a gift-wrapping (corner of the) closet, this deliciously organized storing system was made with you in mind! Promising review: "Perfect! I have had a ton of wrapping paper, gift boxes, gift bags, tissue paper, and gift tags lying in a closet for years, and I didn't think I could possibly find something that would hold all of it. I was pleasantly surprised with how much this bag could hold; I was able to fit everything! It has two pockets to organize all my accessories and keep them separate from the wrapping paper. It even held all my wrapping paper with room for more, it also is great for small spaces since it doesn't take up much space and can lay flat." — Megan W. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors). 22. A remote control holder so you can stay up to date on season two of Severance without the usual game of hide-and-seek you play with all your remotes. P.S. Although this mounts to your wall, no handy skills are needed! This uses an adhesive that's EASILY removable and renter-friendly! This problem-solving pocket holds three to four remote controls. Bless. Promising review: "I was tired of losing my remotes and searching for them every time I watch TV. This remote holder is amazing! I have it mounted by my bed on the wall. No more missing remotes." — Victoria Athens Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in six styles). 23. Stained glass window film for creating privacy (while keeping sunlight!!) and making your home look positively regal. If your place is old, without that charming "old home" character, this film is about to completely transform it. Promising review:"It's beautiful and installation was really easy. I love it. It is wonderful!!! The pattern changes color as the sun passes throughout the day. Really pretty." — Lily Fred Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three sizes). 24. A Denman Hair Brush designed with bristles specifically spaced to detangle and shape curls that may otherwise feel frazzled and look undefined. Hit the snooze button and save time in the mornings with this brush by your side. See it in action on TikTok here. Promising review:"TikTok made me do it. I never knew I had 3a curls until I used this brush. It evenly spreads product throughout the hair and clumps up your curls. It's just an amazing brush!" — mariela Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in six colors). 25. Some under-bed storage containers for storing blankets and out-of-season attire because heaven knows your closet can't fit a year's worth of your wardrobe. The only monster under the bed when you're an adult is unused storage space. Oof, scary. You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, whatever you have too much of. Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn Get it from Amazon for $11.87+ (available in five styles). 26. An outlet shelf so you can keep your counters clear, because your kids splash so much water on the counter when washing their hands that everything within spitting distance ends up soggy (and, eek, moldy). Use this, and you can give your bathroom an ~elevated~ look while keeping things clean at the same time. Promising review:"I absolutely love this thing! I have much less clutter on my sink, thanks to this. If there's anyone not sure if it will fit due to an object, all you need is 1.25 inches of space between the edge of your existing outlet plate and the piece of furniture. I have a GFCI with a standard wall plate." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors and multi-packs). 27. A 360-degree rotating hanging purse organizer because the "bag of bags" system you've been using is just a garbage bag in your closet. And it' than impressive. Show off your best purses and totes with an elevated storage system that makes so much more sense. Imagine how simple pairing an outfit with a bag will be when they're all next to each other in the closet. Chic. Promising review:"I have recently gotten more and more purses and needed a way to organize them better, and this was a great solution. It is easy to take purses on and off, and they look cute in my closet, too. The hanger is very sturdy, and it is lightweight when empty. I like that I can see all my purses in one place, and the hanger will turn a little as well, so you can easily grab which one you want. It added great organization and better functionality to my closet." — Emma Stokes Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors and multipacks). 28. A pack of reusable label stickers for keeping your fridge organized and up-to-date after a new round of groceries changes the game. The best part? This isn't dry-erase, which would just smudge things up. Instead, it's made for a permanent marker and includes an eraser to wipe the label clean. Amazon P.S. You can also use rubbing alcohol if you'd rather not keep the eraser. Promising reviews:"Great, sticks well to our plastic containers, and they haven't come off in the dishwasher yet even on the bottom rack. They make my fridge so neat and easy to find everything." — The Brown Family Get a two packs of 70 labels from Amazon for $14.99 (also available sold as one -, three-, or four-packs). 29. A 14-pack of menstrual discs that'll have you considering your tampon days in the dark ages. Just one of these reusable cups holds FIVE regular-sized tampons worth of fluid. They work just as well for light periods. Reviewers say they are comfortable, help prevent odor, irritation, and dryness. These are safe and spiffy to use while sleeping, during exercise, swimming, and even sex. You heard me right: And. Even. Sex. No leaks! Oh! Anddd, you can wear it for up to 12 HOURS!! Promising review:"So my period ended yesterday and I only used these Softdiscs the whole time. This was my first time trying anything besides tampons and pads. I love them, much better than tampons and I didn't leak a single time. I always leak on day one or two with tampons. The removal is a little messy so do it over a toilet or in the shower, but the more you do it the easier it gets, and you'll figure out how to make it less messy. I also had sex with it in, I know that's the question for most. My husband said it felt weird but he still had no issues with finishing. No leaks during sex because it's suctioned onto the cervix area. These are a must-buy. I'll never go back to tampons." — Tiffany " Comfortable, discrete, stays in place, and easy to remove. Much gentler and easier to use than any other cup I've used before. I can keep it in for a full 12-hour shift as a nurse and not leak. Have also used when intimate, and mess-free!" — Joel Ter Wee Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $13.31. 30. A plastic bag dispenser for organized souls who are proud of their excessively type-A personality, because who wouldn't want to keep their lunch and snack bags in their own size-appropriate slot?!

These include optional sticker labels so you know which size bag you're grabbing! YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review:"I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three-, four-, or five-slot models). 31. A WD-40 pen with the rust-preventing powers your cringey hinges need, placed in an applicator your less-than-handy hands can use without making a mess. Bless. Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use it for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, I have cleaned Sharpie off wood and walls and of course to stop squeaky doors. These small direct point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer and in the house tool box." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 32. A car trash can sure to save the day (and your upholstery) from suckers, soda bottles, and all the other sticky substances your kids sneak into the car. It turns out cupholders are, in fact, not tiny trash cans. Amazon Promising review:"This is the most useful little item I have EVER placed in my car for litter management. It's easy to use, easy to empty, AND it doubles as a spare cup holder when needed. I've ordered more for our other cars. The kids have really improved their management of basic tidiness in the car with this in our family vehicle. My husband has managed to keep the passenger seat easy for me to join him in his car, and now our teens will enjoy an uncluttered life in the 'teen mobile.'" — DW Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 33.

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). 35. A clip-on polarized sun visor that'll be a must if you're always squinting into the sun on your daily commute. Just clip the extender onto your existing sun visor! Glare Guard is a small business based in Easton, Pennsylvania creating polarized visors for glare-free driving. Promising review:"This extender is great; I wish I had purchased this years ago. My daily commute to work is due east and the sun is directly in my line of sight. My commute home is just the opposite, due west and the sun is blinding. This extender is not only a great buy, but it also increases the safety of daily driving." — Dyann Curtis Get it from Amazon for $36.99. 36. A computer shade, because as much as we may love working outside on a sunny day, our screens are basically impossible to see when daylight hits them. Use this clever laptop accessory and get your tan going strong *while* organizing Google docs to your heart's content. Promising review: "This is worth the price!!

A magnetic microwave cover that'll stick to the top of your microwave and easily pop off when you have something particularly saucy and sloppy that definitely needs to be covered up while heated up. Lookin' at you, lasagna. Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action. Promising review:"If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $24.94. 38. A "Door-Doc" so you can prop open front load washers and prevent mold and mildew without taking the time to actually switch the Check out a TikTok of the Door-Doc in action. Door-Doc is a small business specializing in home laundry solutions. Promising review:"I'd never had any issues with mold or any nastiness accruing inside my washer, until I did. I read a bunch of reviews and convinced myself I didn't need such an item — after all, I could just prop the door open after every wash. The thing is, the way the washer is positioned in the laundry room, I'd hit the washer door every time I went in there. I gave in and made the purchase. Sooooo worth it! Easy to maneuver around and it's a sturdy little gadget. Highly recommend!!!" — painter Jane Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two colors). 39. And a magnetic laundry guard — use this and you just might save yourself from missing sock laundry drama from now on. Amazon Promising review:"Oh, how I love this laundry guard! I have very little counter space in my laundry room and this allows me to use all that space on top of the washer and dryer for folding clothes. No more fishing socks and underwear from behind the machines! I love it and so does everyone else that visits and sees it for the first time. The magnets hold it in place very well. There is not a lot of shifting unless I throw something large and heavy up there but it's an easy adjustment to get it back in place. Good quality, not flimsy at all. I highly recommend this product." — Christa Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors). 40. A bag of citrusy Liquid I.V. Hydration packets, with three times the electrolytes of a typical sports drink, great for packing on long hikes, recovering after a run, and keeping close during long days strolling in the sun. Honestly, you may just wanna keep these in your bag 24/7. These are also gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free! Promising review:"No issues with the packaging. I love the lemon-lime taste. It dissolves in your water easily; I only used a straw to stir it up. It was not gritty, and after drinking a glass, I truly felt my headache vanish, which I felt coming on after a heavy workout! My husband uses them for hangover days when you just don't want to feel as if you are nearing death, LOL! Satisfied and definitely 5 stars. Great to have on hand." — Britt Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $21.11. Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Products that'll make you laugh and prevent some stress = don't mind if I do. 1. A delightfully stress-free This Annoying Life coloring book so you can find humor in the frustrations and pains of everyday life — like stepping on Lego bricks with bare feet. At least you can choose the color of the bricks! Promising review: "By far the most amazing coloring book I've ever bought! It's so funny and it really makes you laugh at the most annoying and inconvenient experiences in life. This made me laugh so much I bought two more for friends who also loved it! 10/10" — KArribas Get it from Amazon for $12.04. 2. A pound of cereal marshmallows because your ideal ratio of cereal to marshmallows is 90% marshmallows and 10% cereal. Promising review:"Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 3. A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air! Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99. 4. A set of turtle-shaped toilet bolt caps if your bathroom is lacking the right amount of aquatic creatures. And no, the recurring mildew in your toilet bowl doesn't count. Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My daughter's toilet was missing the original caps, so I thought I would give these a try. They are so nice looking!! She loves them. Great quality and fits perfectly over the screw. Going to buy some for my bathroom now! Buy it, you won't regret it." — Valentine Girl Get a pair from Amazon for $12.98 (also available in eight other styles). 5. An extendable silicone straw that I will not apologize for wanting! Nope! I am lazy. I want to sit where I'm sitting and not have to bring a heavy Stanley water bottle to my mouth when I'm thirsty. Promising review: "Bought for working out because I'd rather use my cup than water bottles, and honestly, I was surprised to see that it works. The straw is longer than expected. The only flaw is the straw is hard to get in if you have ice already in your cup." — lisa Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four colors). 6. And a car cup holder extender to keep you from doing stupid stuff to stay hydrated — like when you're at a red light, reaching behind you to the backseat floor trying to find the water bottle that's rolled under a seat. Swigzy is a small business that specializes in drinkware and accessories. Promising review: "Fits great in my F-150. I've been manually holding my Yeti for years, oftentimes picking my water bottle off the floor after it slides off my passenger seat. Slide no more. This thing works great. Feels sturdy. Holds all of my oversized cups. Highly recommend." — Bryan Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors and four styles). 7. A pack of knee and elbow cushions so you can solve a car problem you probably never thought there would be a solution for: painful rubbing on hard plastic. Amazon Promising review: "I have tried different solutions for my left elbow while on 12-hour drives between Virginia and Florida. Most have been elbow sleeves. Not that it hurts, but resting on the door gets uncomfortable over time. I decided to try these and was able to stick them in just the right place and bend them to fit the door contouring. It worked great, and the adhesive appeared very strong. A good buy." — Officer999 Get a four-pack from Amazon for $17.99. 8. A Tub Topper because parents everywhere, bathtime is about to change forever. It attaches with suction cups to the lip of the tub and acts as a splash guard, toy tray, and a fun zone thanks to the flat surface, which allows for play. Amazon Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" — Brianna Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors). 9. A "Magic Gel" back pain relief pack for hot or cold relief after surgery or just a really long, exhausting day. Reviewers also recommend it when you just need help cooling down. A wearable ice pack? Genius! Amazon, Promising review: "This was perfect for my sore back. It comes with two inserts. That is nice because I was able to keep one in the fridge and the other to warm up in the microwave. The belt they go in works great for lower back pain. I could wear it at work when my back was bad." — Brandie Collins Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 10. A pack of towel clips that'll prevent kids and pets from pulling down the towel. Or, maybe you have neither of those things, yet your hand and kitchen towels always end up on the ground. Amazon Promising review: "This clip is amazing. No more towels falling on the floor. It was becoming a routine thing since my cat thinks it's fun to pull the kitchen towels off the oven. Not now, bad kitty! Great I had bought one sooner!" — Joanna Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 11. An extra-wide power recliner chair with built-in USB ports to properly prepare for hibernation season. It's big enough for two just one person and a lot of snacks, pillows, and blankets. "I'm becoming one with the chair." —you approaching hour 13 of your Hallmark movie marathon. Huda / Wayfair, Wayfair Promising review: "Wonderful chair, fits two adults easily. I bought it for our nursery as we are expecting twins to be able to feed and do story time together with my husband. The chair is pretty, sturdy, and very soft! Rocks and reclines." — Naomi Get it from Wayfair for $839.99 (originally $1,197; available in five colors/styles). 12. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip. Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 13. A pack of carborundum sponges because these are the heavy hitters you'll want for stains and gunk that no other sponge is strong enough to handle. Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe i'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." — Hoarder Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses). 14. An outlet extender if your bed, couch, cabinets, etc., can't lie flat against the wall because a pesky cord is in the way. This adapter has three outlets, so you can push your bed flat against the wall and still plug in the charger. Amazon Promising review: "I have been looking for a solution that would allow for a nightstand and also a dresser to be pushed up against a wall even with things plugged into the outlet behind that furniture. I FOUND IT. This wall outlet extender does exactly what it says it will do. I have a fan, clock radio, and watch charger plugged into it and can still move the nightstand right up against the wall. The light on the dresser no longer forces the dresser to be out a couple of inches; it, too, can be pushed right up against the wall, and the cord is not in danger of getting crushed and becoming a fire hazard. A game changer! I will be ordering a few more." — Lynda L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in white and black). 15. Chubby Buttons, a genius Shark Tank –famous product that'll save the day when you're zooming down a mountain on your snowboard or cruising on your bike at a decent clip and want to change the song but don't want to fiddle with removing your phone. In mittens? Yeah, not happening. Think of this as an oversized remote you're strapping to yourself so you can easily answer calls, control the volume, skip songs, take selfies, and more! Amazon Promising review: "I have several board sports, and there is nothing worse than having a song that takes you out of the zone and having to fiddle with earbud/headphone-based controls. This fixes that plain simple! They work. They are obnoxiously large and ridiculously simple. Don't expect anything more than what they are: chubby buttons that are easy to use when you're doing other things and likely have gloves on! Who has time to push on your earbuds? Just tap the Chubby Button!" — Mr. Cheetodust Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in three colors). 16. A genius drying rack to prevent any sweater shrinking mishaps in the dryer. These three-tier mesh racks will help speed up the drying process while taking up minimal space. Plus air-drying is gentler on the fabric than a tumble in the dryer, which can help extend the life of your sweaters. Promising review:"Big enough for size large sweaters. I love that it is instant to set up, holds several items, the mesh lets most clothes dry overnight and it doesn't have any loose parts to lose. The layers collapse on each other, then fold up like a car shade but with three wires to contend with takes a bit more force. If car shades are your nemesis, this is probably not for you, but if you've conquered car shade folding, the drying rack is quick and small to store. The storage bag appeared to be flimsy, but it has lasted for over a year of use with no problem." — Costume Shop 18. A Jellycat storm cloud plushie because LOOK AT HIM. DO NOT MAKE HIM MORE SAD BY NOT TAKING HIM HOME. PLEASE! Amazon 19. A velvet headboard cover with storage pockets (!) for anyone whose cats have scratched up their leather headboards, but a full new headboard is not in the budget. This is also great if you're looking to redo your bed on the cheap! Promising review: "My headboard is only a few years old but my cats had pulled a bit and left damage. I was looking around to replace it and then found this. It is perfect for what I was looking for. I was able to update the headboard for a great price. I love the softness of the material, and I did not have any issue pulling the cover on. The color is a lovely chocolate and matches my bedding. I did brown over brown but I think this is thick enough to cover if you are changing the color. I had no idea this even existed, and they are such a great option to update your bedroom for a great price." — Mary Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors). 20. A Windex outdoor glass cleaner if you're tired of sighing in disappointment when you look at your dirty windows but ain't no way, ain't no how you're getting on a ladder to clean those floor-to-ceiling windows. Just attach the bottle of Windex to your hose, spray the solution, and you're done! Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" — Helen Simmons Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.35. 21. A Lugabug travel seat that slips over your roller bag and turns your suitcase into a seat for your toddler — especially handy if you're at the airport without a stroller. Amazon This is designed for children 28 to 42 inches in height and 24 to 40 pounds. Promising review: "I bought this because I do not travel enough to buy a $200 riding suitcase, but I was traveling with my 2-year-old and a lot of stuff, so I needed something to transport him while my husband and I held and pulled everything else. It worked great. I noticed others comment that it tips over if you are not tilting it up, and that is true; you can't really just set it down. I do not recommend it to anyone traveling alone with their child. Someone needs to be tilting it at all times. We got so many comments while using this. People at the airport were asking us to take pictures of it because they wanted one for themselves. I did tip him over sideways a couple of times while I was getting used to it, but he was not phased. I used this on a small carry-on suitcase. I imagine it would work even better on a bigger suitcase." — RL Get it from Amazon for $44.99. 22. A tub of soft chews to make life better for your pet — and 99% of your happiness is derived from your pet being happy — if they're boot-scootin' around the house. They may help your pet naturally empty their anal glands and are designed to support your pup's digestive health. Vetnique was founded by veterinarian James Bascharon. You should still talk to your vet if your dog is exhibiting symptoms that indicate they may need their anal glands expressed. Promising review: "I'm shocked that these worked so well. Our pup had lots of gland issues and leakage on a nearly daily basis, and we thought we were resigned to washing sheets and towels every day to deal with it. These got good reviews and I figured it was worth a try, and they have actually eliminated 99.9% of our dog's issues. He's not a huge fan of the taste, but I crumble them up in his food, and he eats them with no problem. We're on our 4th or 5th reorder and will keep our pup on these." — Chelsea Georgesen Get 30 chews from Amazon for $17.09+ (available in three flavors and in packs of 60 and 120 chews). 23. A Don't Worry Duck so you'll always remember that you have a silly lil' guy by your side when you're feeling stressed or down. Dapple & Dot / Etsy Dapple & Dot is a small business based in the UK. It donates 5% of all sales to Just One Tree, a nonprofit organization that plants trees to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Get it from Dapple & Dot on Etsy for $7.27 (originally $8.56; available as a pin or magnet). 24. A deceptively normal-looking hair band because it's actually specially made for glasses-wearers! The U-shaped design reduces pressure on your head (no more early afternoon headaches because your headband is too tight) and curves away from your glasses arms. Promising review: "I have had this headband in my cart for at least six months. I needed a headband that would accommodate my eyeglasses. I just couldn't pay the price. I wasn't sure if it would stay on my head. Well, I am here to tell you. Buy it! Good quality material, unlike the cheap plastic ones. I love that it wraps away from my ear, so no competition with my eyeglasses. You won't regret this purchase." — Irene Voss Get it from Amazon for $24.50+ (available in 14 colors and multi-packs). 25. A fat separator cup for totally bypassing the time-consuming process of straining out the fat manually or waiting for the fat to solidify and then removing it. There's also a filter at the top to catch bigger pieces of debris you don't want in your gravy or broth. If you're making homemade gonna want this in your kitchen! Amazon Promising review: "Used for the first time today. Smoked pork butt and collected all the drippings from the wrap. Sat for a few minutes and had perfect separation of fat from the juice. No leak of any kind noticed. Easy application back into the pulled pork. Leaving only the grease behind. Highly recommend" — michael Kamens Get it from Amazon for $20.69 (available in black or red). 26. A dishwasher-safe ZpillSafe funnel that'll make decanting anything — wine, coffee, soup, kombucha, whatever! — sooooooo much easier. No more spilling a quarter of your coffee when you pour it from your mug to your thermos. Amazon ZpillSafe is a woman-owned small business. It came about when parents Karen Cruz and Claudio Hoyos brought home their preemie daughter, Mia, and grew frustrated by how difficult it was to transfer milk/formula into baby bottles. Promising review: " I bought this for my Yeti coffee tumbler. I use my tumbler to make pour-over coffee to keep the coffee warm. However, I like drinking my coffee from a smaller mug. The ZpillSafe fits perfectly in the Yeti lid. No leaks. Pours perfectly! Without it, pouring from the Yeti tumbler was a mess. I'm so happy this works!" — 987shopper Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.99. 27. Invisible Bandage, a GENIUS, well, invisible bandage to soothe and protect blemishes, minor cuts, and burns. It's a sort of top coat for your skin that contains healing active ingredients, creates a smooth surface for makeup, and protects against bacteria and irritants. Hate the idea of applying foundation to a popped pimple but doubly hate how obvious pimple patches are with a full beat? Try this! Violette_Fr
