We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · This Oreo-inspired "Cookies And Cream" seasoning is about to change your dessert and breakfast game forever. 1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in three styles). 2. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs. Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five styles). 3. The new Pink Stuff "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls. If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it " gold in a jar" and " witchcraft." Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower, and although it doesn't look brand new like I was hoping, it's ten times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99. 4. A big ole collapsible wash bin with a *drain plug* installed at the bottom that is like having a sink inside your skin — perfect for anyone who wants to keep dirty dishes separate from the sink bottom, and absolutely beloved by parents who have a bunch of bottles to sanitize at once. Promising review:"I bought this to wash baby bottles and pump supplies. Good build and does not feel cheap. I like that it is collapsible for storage and it has a drain on the bottom which makes it super convenient to drain after a soak.I can fit a lot in the tub for soaking." — Lacey D. Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 5. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer, aka the answer to any money-conscious coffee lover's prayers — this version is not only cheaper and more portable than comparable models on the market, but WAY faster making cold brew without compromising on flavor. I'm talking five minutes as opposed to overnight, like other pitchers take — and it doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯 Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick Get it from Amazon for $32.07. 6. An adjustable reusable shopping bag organizer that will clear up so much chaos that the cabinet under your sink will hand write you a thank-you note. YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review: "I really loved the versatility of this product. I can choose how much room for each bag size needed and adjust when needed. Perfect for my art fair bags." — MrsDash Get it from Amazon for $13.59. 7. Ninja's new *portable* Crispi Air Fryer system, perfect for people with high foodie standards and a chaotic schedule. This "all-in-one system" cooks your food in the same container you eat from, so you can pop your meal into the air fryer, cook it, and either pack it for later or eat it right out of the container. Amazon Each air fryer comes with the"PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in three colors). 8. An absorbent floral dish drying mat so lovely that you'll actually — gasp — look forward to doing the dishes? The "main character in a rom com" energy of this mat is too strong to resist. Promising review:"This mat is perfect. It absorbs water from washed dishes well and provides a protective buffer between dishes and our granite countertops. After use, you can hang the mat; it will dry out in minutes. The mat is both decorative and functional. This was a great purchase. There will be no more wet dish towels to contend with. I highly recommend this product." — Cambodian Nurse Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in six styles and three sizes). 9. A Scrub Daddy sponge holder designed *specifically* to suction to the side of your sink and cradle your favorite smiley sponge, so it air dries faster, stays cleaner, and helps minimize clutter on your counters. Storage Theory is a small business that specializes in unique storage solutions for every room in your home. Promising review:"Finally a nice place to keep my Scrub Daddy. Holds great on the side of the sink. The suction power is strong for its size, and it rotates with ease. This is a good holder for the price." — Luis peralez Psst — you can get a Scrub Daddy sponge here on Amazon! They are extremely beloved by TikTokers because they're mildew-resistant, dual-sided with different scrubbing textures, and designed with a smile that lets you more easily clean utensils. Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 10. A "Bacon Bin" so all the grease left over from your bacon has a home (read: does not clog your unsuspecting sink). Then you can easily store it in the fridge to cook with later, whether you're frying up bacon-greased veggies, burgers, or even (be still my baconified heart) grilled cheeeeeese. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the bacon bin in action. Talisman Designs is a small business that specializes in at-home cooking and entertaining products. Promising review:"This thing is awesome. Big enough to hold plenty of grease without taking up a ton of space. I keep mine in the butter compartment of my fridge next to the butter. I poured the grease right from the pan, still very hot right into it, and popped the lid on and put it in the fridge. Next time I needed some grease, I scooped some out with a spoon, no muss no fuss. Much better than the glass jar I was using. My only warning is if you get it out when people are visiting keep an eye on it. It's so cute and so good at its job everyone will want one." — John Dollard Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 11. "Vampire Killer," a savory, oh-so-satisfying parmesan garlic spice blend you'll want to shake all over everything from grilled chicken to pasta to popcorn. (Sorry, Edward.) Amazon Spiceology is a small business that specializes in unique spice and herb blends. Promising review: "I use this on steaks. Mix it in butter for my lobster. It's great on popcorn. Terrific mixed in mashed potatoes. You can use this for so many things. I love the way the garlic is mixed with the parmesan. It's a delicious, well balanced spice. Abundant in flavor." — Plumaria Queen Get it from Amazon for $14.30 (and check out more options on Spiceology's Amazon storefront). 12. And an Oreo-inspired Cookies & Cream Shakeable Topping so the next time you need to prove your love for the iconic cookie, you can just whip out this shaker and rest your case. This delicious blend is perfect for coffee, ice cream, yogurt, popcorn, oatmeal, and even soda, according at least one reviewer whose brain I admire. Promising review: "I love feeling like I'm drinking expensive coffee right at home. So fun to be my own barista. It adds an extra touch of flavor and lifts my mood. Not bad for not much money, and makes my coffee friends feel special, too." — Toi Fiore Get it from Amazon for $11.75 (available in four blends). 13. A "Slice'n Store" butter dish that will stop you from dirtying a bunch of butter knives and leaving them on the counter. All you do is pop this out of the fridge, slice of a lil' (or large) slab with the built-in blade, and be on your merry, buttery way. Promising review: "Great addition to my kitchen essentials. Its durability is impressive, and it is straightforward to use. What makes it a keeper is how easy it is to clean. The quality is top-notch, and it's definitely worth the price. It stores butter well and fits perfectly in my fridge. Plus, the color adds a nice touch to my kitchen decor. Overall, it's a fantastic kitchen gadget." — Tiffany Mueller Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 14. A sleek, well-ventilated, modern-style bread box with a cutting board lid that reviewers are obsessed with not just because it's beautiful, but because it keeps their bread *carb's kiss* levels of fresh. If you love artisan loaves or make your own bread at home, this is worth the investment and then some! Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE this bread box. It's not just gorgeous; it's well-made. Our homemade bread stays so fresh inside, it looks lovely on the counter, and the cutting board lid is very handy. This bread box is the best money I've spent on our home this year, and I highly recommend purchasing this for yourself if you bake, or as a gift for friends who love fresh bread." — Sondra G. Milgrim Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in four styles). 15. An electric travel kettle for all the tea, coffee, and oatmeal monsters out there who want instant, portable access to their lifeblood. People love this for at-home use when they're not traveling, too — it boils SUPER fast for quick cuppas, and has a small profile that makes it easy to put away. Promising review:"This gorgeous lil' portable kettle has been the best companion during all my travels this year! I drink a LOT of tea and am religious about making my special elixirs and healing potions every morning. I appreciate how quickly it heats up, and how long it keeps water hot. I have always followed the directions and use common sense when handling it, and have never had any issues with anything so far. Very satisfied with this purchase! Would highly recommend." — Sassy Mama Get it from Amazon for $28.79 (available in six colors). 16.

Bass Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors). 17. An easy twist-off jar opener that clamps right onto the lid so you can pop that sucker open without summoning half the neighborhood to see who is mighty enough to free your olives from the jar. Promising review: "This gizmo grips securely so that twisting it does the job. The best jar opener tool I have tried and I have tried many. I have severe disabilities of my hands, wrists, arms, and shoulders from rheumatoid arthritis so opening stuff has really been a problem for me. This is a great device." — NYer Get it from Amazon for $26.99. 18. Teeccino, a sleep-deprived coffee lover's savior — this caffeine-free, acid-free strong herbal blend steeps like regular tea, but somehow mimics the taste of coffee so brilliantly that you'll get all the flavor and satisfaction without the insomnia of a late-night cuppa. Teeccino is a small business that specializes in coffee-like herbal teas I love tea in the morning but I always want something that tastes strong and bitter to go with my dessert at night, but decaf coffee felt too risky, since there's still a bit of caffeine in it. Enter Teeccino, which tastes miles better than decaf coffee, and is fully caffeine-free. It's so rich that it feels like it has notes of chocolate in it, and so satisfying that I had to check the label a zillion times just to make sure I hadn't misread it, and it secretly was coffee. Nope — just a very delicious faux coffee beverage that pairs well with every dessert in my pantry. Get a 25-count of single-serve bags from Amazon for $14.98 (available in other sizes). Check out the Teeccino Amazon storefront for a TON of other herbal caffeine-free flavors and varieties! 19.

A nonstick heart-shaped egg and pancake pan so precious that if breakfast wasn't already your favorite meal of the day, it's about to steal your literal *and* figurative heart now. Promising review: "I make mini omelets in this frying pan and have had 100% success. Just toss in the ingredients you like (e.g., cheese, bacon, sausage, spinach) and it comes out perfect. It is also easy to clean and relatively small so it doesn't take up a lot of space in the 'pots' drawer, too. A+ all the way here." — Freestyle Barracuda Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors and in non-heart styles). 23.

Momo Lifestyle is a small business that specializes in family-friendly homewares. Promising review:"We got this for the bathroom that the kids use. Anybody with little kids will know that they make a constant mess. We had water all over the counter, mainly around the soap dispenser, and it was causing problems. This has helped a great deal. There is less water on the counter and I even like to put water on it sometimes just to watch it evaporate within about 60-90 seconds. It was totally worth the money." — David P. Get it from Amazon for $12.49. 26. A magnetic microwave cover perfect for anyone whose Panera soup obsession is a little *too* well documented over every surface inside of their microwave. This conveniently sticks to the top of your microwave so you can pop it right off whenever you're looking to tear up some broccoli cheddar on a wild Tuesday night. Hover Cover is a small business that specializes in microwave covers for home kitchen use. 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 $24.95 (also available in two-packs). 27.

Amazon Promising review: "This is one of those random kitchen gadgets that you would never even think about existing, but it's brilliant! We grew kale in our garden, and I was spending way too much time cutting the leaves off the stems, then I stumbled across this tool being suggested on a blog.

Shopping · You'll soon be writing a heartfelt "thank you" note to your past self. 1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper if you're no stranger to #FridgeTok and this has been on your wishlist for a minute now. This will help consolidate your cluttered deli drawer while keeping deli meat and cheese fresh for longer — we love a multi-talented product. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so air tight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win from me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $21.95. 2. A hybrid berry basket and colander that'll make cleaning your fruit a breeze! Most importantly, it'll help keep everything nice and fresh so it doesn't go bad within a matter of days of buying it — future you will be SO grateful. Promising review: "My blueberries stay fresh and crisp in this container, rather than the familiar fate of becoming soggy and moldy! I love how I can wash the berries in the strainer, pop it into the basket, and then look forward to the BEST blueberries EVER!!!!!" — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $9.95. 3. A corduroy foldable sleeper chair when space is limited but the cozy vibes are not — this is the perf option for a reading nook *and* it transforms into a bed for any houseguests you may have. I foresee many impromptu afternoon snoozes on this thing. Promising review: "This is such a comfortable chair or bed! I was very happy with my purchase. You won't go wrong if you are looking for comfort or if you need to save space. I highly recommend this." — danny Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 4. A Pikk-it tool so you can stop shaving years off your life by trying to manually untangle your own hair from the vacuum. This lil' gadget will work to get rid of all the stubborn strands that are affecting your vac's suction power. You can use it on hairbrushes as well! Promising review: "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 $8.99. 5. A *no-scrub* weekly shower cleaner to keep your shower sparkling clean *and* mildew-free. Simply pray it once a week, let it sit, and rinse it clean the next day. Start drafting an apology letter to former you for all the hours lost to scrubbing and wiping. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 6. A super-long duster because you'll need a way to clean extra hard-to-reach areas, like the lovely high ceilings you just *had* to have. It extends up to a whopping 100" and has a bendable duster head that'll actually do a good job of grabbing those dust bunnies you've been chasing around to no avail. The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable. Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." — M. C. Payette Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments). 7. A vibrant set of stackable mixing bowls with sturdy lids that'll turn mundane meal prep into a joyful experience — say what?? These bowls nest inside each other, which is perfect for tiny kitchens with limited storage space. They're also dishwasher safe so you can use 'em for prepping *and* eating, which means you'll have one less dirty dish to wash.

I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Jenkins Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in various sizes, sets, and styles). 8. A wall-mounted mop and broom holder to 1. organize your leaning tower of cleaning tools and 2. free up some valuable floor space. You get four slots for storing tools and four hooks for hanging other items, like those dustpans you never know what to do with. Promising review:"Installation was simple and the organizer keeps everything securely in place. The wall mount feature saves floor space. The cleaning tool organizer has significantly improved my cleaning routine. It is functional, durable, and helps maintain an organized space. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to keep their supplies in order." — Yuly Get it from Amazon for $9.79 (available in silver or black). 9. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads — believe it or not, cleaning your porcelain throne doesn't have to be the most dreaded task of all time. The scrubbers come loaded with cleaner, so just wave the wand around the bowl and watch the magic happen. You'll soon wonder how your past self ever lived without this thing. The kid includes one wand with a long handle, six disposable scrubbing pads preloaded with cleaner, and one caddy for easy storage. Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $11.98. 10. And a pumice stone you'll wish you bought ages ago because it can power through years of rust, lime, and calcium buildup while still being gentle on your porcelain throne. If your standard toilet brush can't handle it, this pumice stone can! Powerstone Pumice is a small business offering home cleaning products.

This is life changing to create a nice, sleek space." — Martha Ashley Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four lengths and two configurations). 12. An adjustable cabinet door organizer and towel rack duo so you'll have a place for your cutting boards or wrap boxes *and* an extra place to hang dish towels. They're probably constantly falling down from the oven handle anyway, so why not?? Promising reviews:"This works great for my little kitchen. I put cutting boards and smaller cookie sheets in one, and plastic bags of all sizes in the other. Easy extra space." — keldasings "I absolutely love this cutting board organizer! This holds all of my cutting boards with more than enough room and even makes for cute decor in the kitchen with the external towel racks. The height of the basket is adjustable which helps make it easier to fit in a variety of different spaces! I may buy another one for cookbooks. :)" — Carly Mabli Get a set of two from Amazon for $25.99. 13. A versatile slicker brush because let's face it, your faux fur rugs, blankets, and jackets have seen better days. I come bearing wonderful news! This super ~slick~ tool can zhuzh up wool, sheepskin, cashmere, faux fur, etc. so it looks new again. Promising review:"Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" — Renee Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 14. A set of washable liners so kitchen cleanup is a lot easier when you hang up your chef's hat for the day. Go on, give yourself some credit for preemptively taking care of all those fallen crumbs your future self would've been sooo mad about it. When it's time for a refresh, just take it out and give it a good wipe down before reusing. For hard-to-clean messes, you can pop the liner in the dishwasher! Promising review:"I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning over and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" — Lakeisland Girl Get a three-pack from Amazon for $16.99. 15. A faux book display to conceal messy outlets, cables, and other eyesores for a clean, organized vibe that fills you with joy. You won't mind having everyone comment on your impressive "book" collection either. 😉 Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books. Promising review: "We absolutely love our CovoBox. It fits perfectly into our cabinet, and the cable modem/router, AppleTV, and external hard drive, and their various cables are now cleverly disguised as Harry Potter books 1–7. Great customer service, quick delivery, and a fabulous product. Two thumbs way, way up!" — John Grace Get it from Covogoods on Etsy for $19.80+ (originally $33+; available in various customizations and sizes) OR from Amazon Handmade for $29+ (you'll choose customizations before adding to your cart). 16. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders giving some major "why didn't I think of this sooner?" energy. You'll never have to guess whether you're pulling the cord for the light or the fan! These also add a good foot of length to your pulls, which is super helpful for the shorties out there. Promising review:" This is the definition of "product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed." I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" — LHD Get it from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two lengths and three finishes). 17. A genius veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades, aka your future must-have kitchen sidekick thanks to its endless usefulness. Get ready to fall in love with meal prep again now that chopping is a breeze! Insert your preferred blade and lock it into place, add your veggie, close the lid, and chop your heart out! 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 $29.99+ (available in six sizes and five colors). 18. And a clever meat shredder so you don't have to waste valuable time shredding with two forks, which takes forever and a day. Whether you're making a delicious dip, stew, or BBQ dish, this shredder will get the job done faster than ever. Place the meat inside, twist the lid a few times, and you're good to go. Promising review: " This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of a 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I would've taken a video, but I didn't. It didn't move/slip from the counter and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" — Ruthie K Voss Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in nine colors). 19. A bottle of metallic spray paint for reviving metal fixtures and decor items that have seen better days. Your old dingy doorknobs, faucets, and light fixtures don't stand a chance against this stuff. Promising review:"Best looking metal spray paint I have seen. It took me 90 minutes to prepare, mask, and paint my bathroom faucet. I used about 1/2 a can of this paint." — OC-Adam Get it from Amazon for $8.62 (available in several metallic finish colors). 20. Some internet-famous Mellanni sheets that'll make it hard for you to get out of bed in the best way. It'll also be hard to believe they don't cost hundreds of dollars given the wonderfully soft moisture-wicking microfiber fabric. Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven't started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" — Susan "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well, he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" — Sheree Chrestman Get a queen set of sheets from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king, sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses, and in 45 colors/patterns). 21.

Future you is gonna sleep like a baby. Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. Promising review:"I hardly ever write reviews but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it's such a game changer. I'm a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT Get it from Amazon for $79+ (available in queen and king sizes, and three shapes). 22. A sleek wall-mounted towel rack when your home wasn't exactly blessed with a massive linen closet. Mount this baby on the wall, roll up your towels, and you've got the next best thing! It can hold up to six towels and will save space in other areas that were cramped with too many towels. Reviewers also use this rack for storing purses, rolling pins, wine bottles, yoga mats, umbrellas, and all sorts of other items. Promising review:"Anyone with a small bathroom knows that free space is almost non-existent, and these have been so great. We bought two, so we had one for each bathroom, and we were able to get the majority of our towels up on them and looking nice (which means we freed up space in the linen closet)!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.82 (also available as a two-pack). 23. Some reusable beeswax food wrap you'll wish you'd found a lot sooner in your adult life. This is a more sustainable option than say, aluminum foil and plastic wrap. It'll keep your food fresh without any single-use products. Simply wash in cool or cold water with alcohol-free soap before reusing! Knotty Northern Knits is a small Etsy shop based in Toronto. Promising reviews:"Love these! They keep everything fresh, and the sizes are perfect for all sorts of food items and containers." — Victoria Guido "I love these — they are so cute and well-made. These are more durable than others I've had and are more malleable as well, so they don't get ruined when you fold them a lot! :)" — Emma Morgan Get it from Knotty Northern Knits on Etsy for $5.46+ (available in two sizes). 24. A pack of foil liners for gas stoves that'll preemptively catch all the oil spills that inevitably happen while you're cookin' up a storm. When it gets messy, toss it in the trash and replace it with a new one. Easy peasy! Promising review:"One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" — Melanin Monroe Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a pack of 100). 25. Or a set of similar liners for electric ranges designed to fit *just* right under your burners so no messes can escape and get stuck to the drip pans. You from the future is probably gonna shed a tear of joy over this revelation. Promising review:"These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they're small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don't cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal." — chem grad student Get a 50- pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100). 26. A drain cover if you'd love to enjoy a glorious bubble bath every now and then but your tub is far too now! This cover will give you a bit of extra warm water without causing the overflow drain to kick in and ruin the vibe. Amazon, Don't worry, it doesn't block your overflow drain completely but rather moves it up several inches — there's a 1-inch hole at the top of this cover that still allows excess water to drain safely. Promising review:"Can I give this thing 10 gold stars? I have a 4-foot bathtub (so small it should be illegal), so I used to bring a towel in the tub to cover myself just to keep warm because the water was so shallow. I've used this drain cover three times, and now I literally bask in my Epsom salt baths. The silence is wonderful; I used to seethe at hearing the precious bath water drip-drop down the overflow drain. Buy it, hands-down a peace preserver." — M. Smith Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in nine colors). 27. A lovely set of pastel "unbreakable" deep plates so you can brighten up your dull dinnerware cabinet in a flash and make cooking — dare I say — FUN! Most important of all, they're dishwasher-safe *and* microwave-safe for up to three minutes. Amazon Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can't complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also it's an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as bowls!). 28. A rotating utensil holder if your head ~spins~ whenever you struggle to find a utensil that seems to be permanently stuck at the bottom of a messy drawer. It won't be long before you're writing a lengthy "thank you" card to yourself for thinking of this one. Promising review:"I cook a LOT. I had a utensil holder, but it wasn't big enough so it was hard to slide the utensils in — and if it was semi-empty, they were tilting and falling. I threw it away and used a drawer but then was super sick of digging through everything to get what I needed, especially when you have something on the stove and you need it pronto. I ordered this and love it. It rotates so you can spin it around to get what you need really quickly, has three dividers in it (so the utensils aren't falling over every time you pull one out), and is big enough to fit everything. I have maxed it out with all my utensils — I have 16 cooking utensils in it at a time. It also looks really nice and sleek on the counter. I highly recommend this product." — Jessie Get it from Amazon for $22.93. 29. An ultra-soft faux-fur rug when you wanna wake up in the morning and immediately treat your feet to a glorious sensation. Really, what's worse than getting outta bed and being met with the ice-cold floor? Maybe in a past life, but not anymore! Amazon Hand washing and spot cleaning is recommended! Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four sizes, two shapes, and 11 colors). 30. A very snazzy coffee syrup dispenser set, which comes with 28 premade flavor labels — it's basically a dream come true for caffeine connoisseurs who appreciate a tasty coffee drink with a side of pristine organization. New England Stories is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular-size Torani syrup bottle, it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about storing a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get a set of four from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors and in sets of two or six). 31. And this slim set of oil dispensers because you don't *have* to be the sad owner of bland kitchen vessels anymore. These cuties will hold your oils, look good doing it, and take up less space. You'll only wish you found 'em in a previous lifetime. Each set includes two glass bottles, two gold dispensers, a funnel, and 37 stain-free labels. Promising review: "These are so unique from the standard oil storage containers. They also hold a good amount of liquid and come with lots of labels, funnel, and topper. They look so sleek, sturdy, and fit the aesthetic! I love them." — Mikaela O. Get a set of two from Amazon for $44.95 (available in three colors and as a set of four). 32. A brush and squeegee combo if you're a big fan of 2-in-1 tools that help you tackle different tasks. This nifty number hangs on the edge of your sink and can be used to sweep the wet *or* dry countertop to get rid of spills and scraps. Amazon Promising review:"LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" — Prime Time Review Get it from Amazon for $10.63. 33. A pretty faux-leather tissue box cover that may have you crying tears of joy, considering you had no idea your Kleenex could look THIS dang cute. Just place it over your existing tissue box and secure the Velcro strap on the bottom — that's all there is to it! Promising review: "I wish I made this purchase sooner! This tissue box is chic and the perfect modern addition to any room. It's well made, and I've had no issues with this product in five months. There's a strap to secure the tissue box into the holder. Will definitely purchase more :)" — Liz Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors). 34. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer because I'll bet future you would be glad to save a few bucks on that *very* expensive coffee habit. This one's much more affordable than other portable models and works much faster — no overnight wait times, batteries, or plugs necessary! Just five minutes, and you'll have a delicious cold brew ready for your consumption. Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best-tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick Get it from Amazon for $34.33 (available in two styles). 35. A TikTok-famous adjustable mug organizer set — it'll free up some space *and* reduce cabinet clutter. Place the circular organizers on top of a mug and you'll have a sturdy base for a second mug on top without it crashing down on you. Amazon Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home. Promising review: "These mug organizers work really well. I just ordered my third set. I've been using them for about five months and the cups sit on them nicely. I like that you can change the size so if you have some mugs which are bigger/smaller than others, the organizers work for them as well." — Amazon Customer Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 36. Under-bed storage bags when it's time to say goodbye to seasonal items (for now, anyway). Now bulky items will be stored out of sight — where they belong. If you're already storing stuff under the bed, you might as well do it the organized way! 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 a two-pack from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in four colors and in packs of four). 37.

No longer do I have storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again.

You'll soon be writing a heartfelt "thank you" note to your past self. 1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper if you're no stranger to #FridgeTok and this has been on your wishlist for a minute now. This will help consolidate your cluttered deli drawer while keeping deli meat and cheese fresh for longer — we love a multi-talented product. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so air tight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win from me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in three styles). 2. A hybrid berry basket and colander that'll make cleaning your fruit a breeze! Most importantly, it'll help keep everything nice and fresh so it doesn't go bad within a matter of days of buying it — future you will be SO grateful. Promising review: "My blueberries stay fresh and crisp in this container, rather than the familiar fate of becoming soggy and moldy! I love how I can wash the berries in the strainer, pop it into the basket, and then look forward to the BEST blueberries EVER!!!!!" — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $9.95. 3. A corduroy foldable sleeper chair when space is limited but the cozy vibes are not — this is the perf option for a reading nook *and* it transforms into a bed for any houseguests you may have. I foresee many impromptu afternoon snoozes on this thing. Promising review: "This is such a comfortable chair or bed! I was very happy with my purchase. You won't go wrong if you are looking for comfort or if you need to save space. I highly recommend this." — danny Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 4. A Pikk-it tool so you can stop shaving years off your life by trying to manually untangle your own hair from the vacuum. This lil' gadget will work to get rid of all the stubborn strands that are affecting your vac's suction power. You can use it on hairbrushes as well! Promising review: "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 $8.99. 5. A *no-scrub* weekly shower cleaner to keep your shower sparkling clean *and* mildew-free. Simply pray it once a week, let it sit, and rinse it clean the next day. Start drafting an apology letter to former you for all the hours lost to scrubbing and wiping. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 6. A super-long duster because you'll need a way to clean extra hard-to-reach areas, like the lovely high ceilings you just *had* to have. It extends up to a whopping 100" and has a bendable duster head that'll actually do a good job of grabbing those dust bunnies you've been chasing around to no avail. The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable. Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." — M. C. Payette Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments). 7. A vibrant set of stackable mixing bowls with sturdy lids that'll turn mundane meal prep into a joyful experience — say what?? These bowls nest inside each other, which is perfect for tiny kitchens with limited storage space. They're also dishwasher safe so you can use 'em for prepping *and* eating, which means you'll have one less dirty dish to wash. Amazon Promising review:" I like the fact that these bowls are deep rather than wide so they don't take up a lot of shelf space. The colors are beautiful. I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Jenkins Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in various sizes, sets, and styles). 8. A wall-mounted mop and broom holder to 1. organize your leaning tower of cleaning tools and 2. free up some valuable floor space. You get four slots for storing tools and four hooks for hanging other items, like those dustpans you never know what to do with. Promising review:"Installation was simple and the organizer keeps everything securely in place. The wall mount feature saves floor space. The cleaning tool organizer has significantly improved my cleaning routine. It is functional, durable, and helps maintain an organized space. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to keep their supplies in order." — Yuly Get it from Amazon for $9.79 (available in silver or black). 9. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads — believe it or not, cleaning your porcelain throne doesn't have to be the most dreaded task of all time. The scrubbers come loaded with cleaner, so just wave the wand around the bowl and watch the magic happen. You'll soon wonder how your past self ever lived without this thing. The kid includes one wand with a long handle, six disposable scrubbing pads preloaded with cleaner, and one caddy for easy storage. Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $11.98. 10. And a pumice stone you'll wish you bought ages ago because it can power through years of rust, lime, and calcium buildup while still being gentle on your porcelain throne. If your standard toilet brush can't handle it, this pumice stone can! 11. A super flat outlet plug that'll make bulky cluttered outlets a distant memory — so much so that future you might be appalled that you ever dealt with this problem in the first place. Your room will look wayyy more put together when you swap it out for this sleek outlet plug. Promising review:"This was very easy to install to hide all the messy wires. This is life changing to create a nice, sleek space." — Martha Ashley Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four lengths and two configurations). 12. An adjustable cabinet door organizer and towel rack duo so you'll have a place for your cutting boards or wrap boxes *and* an extra place to hang dish towels. They're probably constantly falling down from the oven handle anyway, so why not?? Promising reviews:"This works great for my little kitchen. I put cutting boards and smaller cookie sheets in one, and plastic bags of all sizes in the other. Easy extra space." — keldasings "I absolutely love this cutting board organizer! This holds all of my cutting boards with more than enough room and even makes for cute decor in the kitchen with the external towel racks. The height of the basket is adjustable which helps make it easier to fit in a variety of different spaces! I may buy another one for cookbooks. :)" — Carly Mabli Get a set of two from Amazon for $25.99. 13. A versatile slicker brush because let's face it, your faux fur rugs, blankets, and jackets have seen better days. I come bearing wonderful news! This super ~slick~ tool can zhuzh up wool, sheepskin, cashmere, faux fur, etc. so it looks new again. Promising review:"Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" — Renee Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 14. A set of washable liners so kitchen cleanup is a lot easier when you hang up your chef's hat for the day. Go on, give yourself some credit for preemptively taking care of all those fallen crumbs your future self would've been sooo mad about it. When it's time for a refresh, just take it out and give it a good wipe down before reusing. For hard-to-clean messes, you can pop the liner in the dishwasher! Promising review:"I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning over and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" — Lakeisland Girl Get a three-pack from Amazon for $16.99. 15. A faux book display to conceal messy outlets, cables, and other eyesores for a clean, organized vibe that fills you with joy. You won't mind having everyone comment on your impressive "book" collection either. 😉 Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books. Promising review: "We absolutely love our CovoBox. It fits perfectly into our cabinet, and the cable modem/router, AppleTV, and external hard drive, and their various cables are now cleverly disguised as Harry Potter books 1–7. Great customer service, quick delivery, and a fabulous product. Two thumbs way, way up!" — John Grace Get it from Covogoods on Etsy for $19.80+ (originally $33+; available in various customizations and sizes) OR from Amazon Handmade for $29+ (you'll choose customizations before adding to your cart). 16. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders giving some major "why didn't I think of this sooner?" energy. You'll never have to guess whether you're pulling the cord for the light or the fan! These also add a good foot of length to your pulls, which is super helpful for the shorties out there. Promising review:" This is the definition of "product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed." I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" — LHD Get it from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two lengths and three finishes). 17. A genius veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades, aka your future must-have kitchen sidekick thanks to its endless usefulness. Get ready to fall in love with meal prep again now that chopping is a breeze! Insert your preferred blade and lock it into place, add your veggie, close the lid, and chop your heart out! 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 $29.99+ (available in five sizes and five colors). 18. And a clever meat shredder so you don't have to waste valuable time shredding with two forks, which takes forever and a day. Whether you're making a delicious dip, stew, or BBQ dish, this shredder will get the job done faster than ever. Place the meat inside, twist the lid a few times, and you're good to go. Promising review: " This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of a 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I would've taken a video, but I didn't. It didn't move/slip from the counter and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" — Ruthie K Voss Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in nine colors). 19. A bottle of metallic spray paint for reviving metal fixtures and decor items that have seen better days. Your old dingy doorknobs, faucets, and light fixtures don't stand a chance against this stuff. Promising review:"Best looking metal spray paint I have seen. It took me 90 minutes to prepare, mask, and paint my bathroom faucet. I used about 1/2 a can of this paint." — OC-Adam Get it from Amazon for $8.62 (available in several metallic finish colors). 20. Some internet-famous Mellanni sheets that'll make it hard for you to get out of bed in the best way. It'll also be hard to believe they don't cost hundreds of dollars given the wonderfully soft moisture-wicking microfiber fabric. Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven't started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" — Susan "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well, he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" — Sheree Chrestman Get a queen set of sheets from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king, sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses, and in 45 colors/patterns). 21.

Future you is gonna sleep like a baby. Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. Promising review:"I hardly ever write reviews but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it's such a game changer. I'm a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT Get it from Amazon for $79+ (available in queen and king sizes, and three shapes). 22. A sleek wall-mounted towel rack when your home wasn't exactly blessed with a massive linen closet. Mount this baby on the wall, roll up your towels, and you've got the next best thing! It can hold up to six towels and will save space in other areas that were cramped with too many towels. Reviewers also use this rack for storing purses, rolling pins, wine bottles, yoga mats, umbrellas, and all sorts of other items. Promising review:"Anyone with a small bathroom knows that free space is almost non-existent, and these have been so great. We bought two, so we had one for each bathroom, and we were able to get the majority of our towels up on them and looking nice (which means we freed up space in the linen closet)!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.82 (also available as a two-pack). 23. Some reusable beeswax food wrap you'll wish you'd found a lot sooner in your adult life. This is a more sustainable option than say, aluminum foil and plastic wrap. It'll keep your food fresh without any single-use products. Simply wash in cool or cold water with alcohol-free soap before reusing! Knotty Northern Knits is a small Etsy shop based in Toronto. Promising reviews:"Love these! They keep everything fresh, and the sizes are perfect for all sorts of food items and containers." — Victoria Guido "I love these — they are so cute and well-made. These are more durable than others I've had and are more malleable as well, so they don't get ruined when you fold them a lot! :)" — Emma Morgan Get it from Knotty Northern Knits on Etsy for $5.28+ (available in two sizes). 24. A pack of foil liners for gas stoves that'll preemptively catch all the oil spills that inevitably happen while you're cookin' up a storm. When it gets messy, toss it in the trash and replace it with a new one. Easy peasy! Promising review:"One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" — Melanin Monroe Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a pack of 100). 25. Or a set of similar liners for electric ranges designed to fit *just* right under your burners so no messes can escape and get stuck to the drip pans. You from the future is probably gonna shed a tear of joy over this revelation. Promising review:"These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they're small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don't cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal." — chem grad student Get a 50- pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100). 26. A drain cover if you'd love to enjoy a glorious bubble bath every now and then but your tub is far too now! This cover will give you a bit of extra warm water without causing the overflow drain to kick in and ruin the vibe. Don't worry, it doesn't block your overflow drain completely but rather moves it up several inches — there's a 1-inch hole at the top of this cover that still allows excess water to drain safely. Promising review:"Can I give this thing 10 gold stars? I have a 4-foot bathtub (so small it should be illegal), so I used to bring a towel in the tub to cover myself just to keep warm because the water was so shallow. I've used this drain cover three times, and now I literally bask in my Epsom salt baths. The silence is wonderful; I used to seethe at hearing the precious bath water drip-drop down the overflow drain. Buy it, hands-down a peace preserver." — M. Smith Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in nine colors). 27. A lovely set of pastel "unbreakable" deep plates so you can brighten up your dull dinnerware cabinet in a flash and make cooking — dare I say — FUN! Most important of all, they're dishwasher-safe *and* microwave-safe for up to three minutes. Amazon Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can't complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also it's an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as bowls!). 28. A rotating utensil holder if your head ~spins~ whenever you struggle to find a utensil that seems to be permanently stuck at the bottom of a messy drawer. It won't be long before you're writing a lengthy "thank you" card to yourself for thinking of this one. Promising review:"I cook a LOT. I had a utensil holder, but it wasn't big enough so it was hard to slide the utensils in — and if it was semi-empty, they were tilting and falling. I threw it away and used a drawer but then was super sick of digging through everything to get what I needed, especially when you have something on the stove and you need it pronto. I ordered this and love it. It rotates so you can spin it around to get what you need really quickly, has three dividers in it (so the utensils aren't falling over every time you pull one out), and is big enough to fit everything. I have maxed it out with all my utensils — I have 16 cooking utensils in it at a time. It also looks really nice and sleek on the counter. I highly recommend this product." — Jessie Get it from Amazon for $22.93. 29. An ultra-soft faux-fur rug when you wanna wake up in the morning and immediately treat your feet to a glorious sensation. Really, what's worse than getting outta bed and being met with the ice-cold floor? Maybe in a past life, but not anymore! Amazon Hand washing and spot cleaning is recommended! Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four sizes, two shapes, and 11 colors). 30. A very snazzy coffee syrup dispenser set, which comes with 28 premade flavor labels — it's basically a dream come true for caffeine connoisseurs who appreciate a tasty coffee drink with a side of pristine organization. New England Stories is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular-size Torani syrup bottle, it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about storing a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get a set of four from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors and in sets of two or six). 31. And this slim set of oil dispensers because you don't *have* to be the sad owner of bland kitchen vessels anymore. These cuties will hold your oils, look good doing it, and take up less space. You'll only wish you found 'em in a previous lifetime. Amazon, Each set includes two glass bottles, two gold dispensers, a funnel, and 37 stain-free labels. Promising review: "These are so unique from the standard oil storage containers. They also hold a good amount of liquid and come with lots of labels, funnel, and topper. They look so sleek, sturdy, and fit the aesthetic! I love them." — Mikaela O. Get a set of two from Amazon for $44.95 (available in three colors and as a set of four). 32. A brush and squeegee combo if you're a big fan of 2-in-1 tools that help you tackle different tasks. This nifty number hangs on the edge of your sink and can be used to sweep the wet *or* dry countertop to get rid of spills and scraps. Amazon Promising review:"LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" — Prime Time Review Get it from Amazon for $10.63. 33. A pretty faux-leather tissue box cover that may have you crying tears of joy, considering you had no idea your Kleenex could look THIS dang cute. Just place it over your existing tissue box and secure the Velcro strap on the bottom — that's all there is to it! Promising review: "I wish I made this purchase sooner! This tissue box is chic and the perfect modern addition to any room. It's well made, and I've had no issues with this product in five months. There's a strap to secure the tissue box into the holder. Will definitely purchase more :)" — Liz Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors). 34. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer because I'll bet future you would be glad to save a few bucks on that *very* expensive coffee habit.

Just five minutes, and you'll have a delicious cold brew ready for your consumption. Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best-tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick Get it from Amazon for $34.33 (available in two styles). 35. A TikTok-famous adjustable mug organizer set — it'll free up some space *and* reduce cabinet clutter. Place the circular organizers on top of a mug and you'll have a sturdy base for a second mug on top without it crashing down on you. Amazon Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home. Promising review: "These mug organizers work really well. I just ordered my third set. I've been using them for about five months and the cups sit on them nicely. I like that you can change the size so if you have some mugs which are bigger/smaller than others, the organizers work for them as well." — Amazon Customer Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 36. Under-bed storage bags when it's time to say goodbye to seasonal items (for now, anyway). Now bulky items will be stored out of sight — where they belong. If you're already storing stuff under the bed, you might as well do it the organized way! 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 a two-pack from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in four colors and in packs of four). 37.

No longer do I have storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product." — Laura Get it from Amazon for $16.88+ (available in four sizes). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.

These 38 Clever Products Will Make You Wonder Why You Ever Used The Basic Versions

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · This rapid cold brew maker works in five minutes ... and you don't even have to plug it in. 1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in two styles). 2. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs. Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three styles). 3. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream with moisturizing, anti-redness super powers reviewers swear by for an extra hydration punch to combat dryness. It also makes an excellent skin-softening primer base for makeup, with a lot of reviewers comparing its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, which is over twice as expensive. Promising review: "I'm really pleased with this moisturizing foundation. It spreads evenly and covers well. I have trouble in the winter with dry flaky patches and redness on my cheeks and I was very pleased to see how this moisturized and covered those areas very well. It does not look cake-y and can be built up. I chose the one for redness. Which seems like it would work for anyone. Highly recommend! And I have tried products from top of the line to the bottom." — Heather B. Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles). 4. A big ole collapsible wash bin with a *drain plug* installed at the bottom that is like having a sink inside your skin — perfect for anyone who wants to keep dirty dishes separate from the sink bottom, and absolutely beloved by parents who have a bunch of bottles to sanitize at once. Promising review:"I bought this to wash baby bottles and pump supplies. Good build and does not feel cheap. I like that it is collapsible for storage and it has a drain on the bottom which makes it super convenient to drain after a soak.I can fit a lot in the tub for soaking." — Lacey D. Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 5. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ I bought these at the last second for a flight when I lost my way more expensive sleep mask, and can safely say "good riddance" to that old pair — I love this version way more. It's perfectly contoured so it doesn't rub my eyes or mess up my makeup if I'm traveling, the weight is satisfying without being distracting, and it adjusts super quickly and easily without every getting caught in my hair. Also the pink is just absolutely precious, so my little Glinda x Barbie heart is most pleased to show if off. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sets). 6. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 7. Oxo's compact Cold Brew Rapid Brewer to make cold brew in FIVE MINUTES (!!) instead of overnight, like competing pitchers. Not only is it faster than comparable models, but it's cheaper, entirely portable, and doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯 You're going to be swimming in a RIVER of delicious, affordable cold brew with this gizmo. Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick Get it from Amazon for $28.76. 8. A quick-drying top nail coat, because sometimes you just have to get the show on the road, nail polish situation be damned — this helps dry your wet nails within two minutes so you can get back to business (read: sticking your hand in a chip bag without fear). Promising review:"NEVER GETTING MY NAILS PROFESSIONALLY DONE AGAIN. I love having long nails. I do not like spending fifty bucks just to get them painted. I tried the gel polish, with gel top coat; I tried the gel system with the lamps; I tried every polish out there. My hands get washed hundreds of times daily. This stuff is unbelievable. It really works the way they say it does. I applied it about one or two minutes after finishing a second coat of color and within minutes it had bonded and set and my nails stay shiny and polished for over a week. That is not the full two weeks claimed, but I am unusually hard on my nails so over a week is AWESOME. I immediately ordered several more." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.60+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack). 9. A set of family-friendly pastel "unbreakable" deep plates perfect for anyone who needs to be practical, but doesn't want to sacrifice on prettiness. These chic plates are unexpectedly lightweight, making them easier for kids to use, but are still dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe for up to three minutes. Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can't complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also, it's an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as bowls!). 10. Oxo's Good Grips three-piece Pop container set so darn air tight that you'll want to give them all your favorite snacks *and* hot gossip, knowing nothing's getting through that airtight lock. Each of the containers also comes with a handy scoop that attaches to the bottom of the lid, making this an ideal option for baking supplies and loose snacks like cereal and nuts! Amazon Promising review: "These are wonderful containers to fill and store in your pantry, cupboard or on the counter. Easy to clean and hand dry. Keep the lid on and the air button down for the best freshness. They can stack too!" — Jamie Fingal Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (also available in a five-piece set). 11. A set of reusable Gripstic bag sealers, which are sticks that clamp over open snack bags to make sure they're genuinely sealed and airtight. (We cannot risk letting our beloved Cheez-Its get stale!!) These also save a lot of space compared to regular chip clips and are safer, considering there isn't a spring that could either wear out or break on you in the middle of sealing something. 😬 Gripstic is a small business that specializes in reusable chip clips. Promising review: "I'm a stickler about stale chips and have always used those little snapping clips. I thought they worked pretty well, but they really don't compare to Gripstics. The snack that proved this the most was Pirate's Booty. If these are exposed to air for more than three minutes, they turn into styrofoam peanuts. I promise they're just as fresh as when you first open them with Gripstics. They're going to be my go-to chip clips moving forward." — Rachel Campbell Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $23.95 (available in five sets). 12. A Benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so easy to use that you can just dab it on your hairline and rub it in for an instant, oil-absorbing refresh. Now your "no wash" days are a secret that you and your roots will never tell 👀. Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action. Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I've tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" — Katie_0_Baker Get it from Amazon for $12.59 (available brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles). 13. A set of hair tie bracelets designed to look like *actual* jewelry, so you won't be kicking yourself when you realize you left a hair tie on your wrist for every photo. Promising review:"I love these! These add the cutest touch to any outfit. They make you feel better about wearing a hair tie on your wrist. And they function great as both a hair tie and a bracelet! Not too tight to wear as either. Love them!" — Tiara Scheurell Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $7.99 (available in eight styles). 14. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait 8–12 hours, and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, include soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 15. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are 10 times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. I use these and I love them! I used to use an electric one, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these. Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99. 16. A set of reviewer-beloved "Loops Quiet 2," aka the "ear plugs for people who hate ear plugs." These lightweight plugs are so subtle that people won't notice you wearing them, and are meticulously designed to muffle distracting, irritating, or overwhelming noise without completely blocking out the world around you. Reviewers love to wear them at the office or in noisy homes — this way they can still stay aware of your surroundings without getting overwhelmed by them. Promising review:"These earplugs are so good!! I had originally bought a completely different brand (because I was being cheap) and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. I found these Loop earplugs and decided to give them a try and I'm so glad that I did! They are so comfortable! Made from silicone so they are flexible and fit great. I've slept with them in all night without issues. The noise cancelling is fantastic! Now does it block everything? No, but I think that's a good thing for safety reasons. They do block my husband's chainsaw snoring and that is exactly what I needed them to do." — melanie98837 Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in seven colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!). 17.

Its durability is impressive, and it is straightforward to use. What makes it a keeper is how easy it is to clean. The quality is top-notch, and it's definitely worth the price. It stores butter well and fits perfectly in my fridge. Plus, the color adds a nice touch to my kitchen decor. Overall, it's a fantastic kitchen gadget." — Tiffany Mueller Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 19. A snap-on pasta strainer to free your pasta from its hot juices straight from the pot and spare you storage space to boot. (Is it just me, or are colanders always in the business of being exactly in the way of whatever it is you need?) Psst — these are also a game changer for washing your fruit! Amazon Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories. Promising review:"I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher. I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget. It will retire your current strainer." — Viola Evens Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors). 20. A "holy grail" Coop Home Goods pillow designed for side, back, *and* stomach sleepers to get the best shut-eye of their lives.

I'm a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT Get it from Amazon for $63.20+ (available in two sizes and two shapes). 21. A super useful, delightfully cheap charging station end table, which features two outlets and two USB ports to power lamps and gadgets and charge your devices. Reviewers love this compact, lightweight piece for bedrooms and tight living room spaces that can use the extra outlets! Promising review: "Good for small spaces. I needed this end table for a smaller space next to my couch. It fits perfectly and I love that it has an outlet and USB ports. The bottom will also fit an 11-inch basket so I can store things in there if needed." — Darcy Neuman Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three colors). 22. Ninja's new *portable* Crispi Air Fryer system, perfect for people with high foodie standards and a chaotic schedule. This "all-in-one system" cooks your food in the same container you eat from, so you can pop your meal into the air fryer, cook it, and either pack it for later or eat it right out of the container. Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Crispi Air Fryer System in action. Each air fryer comes with the"PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in three colors). 23. A hands-free portable phone charger that sticks right onto your phone plug and chills there so easily that you might forget it's there in the first place. This mini charger is designed to give you one full iPhone battery per charge, making it a lifesaver for busy humans, particularly ones who love traveling. Check out a TikTok of the charger in action. Promising review:"I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk. That's why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket. The portable chargers take about 30–35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours." — J Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two colors). 24. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion."

Amazon Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Promising review:"Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" — Briana R. Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). 25.

This even comes with a built-in TSA-approved lock and USB/USB-C charging port! Promising review:"Lightweight and compact. This carryon is super sleek, stylish, and exactly what I was hoping for. The expandable part is helpful, really small without it but probably perfect for a short weekend trip. One thing I would say is don't try too hard to squeeze things down — if you decide to stuff it, you must keep it expanded. Love the built-in lock system." — Reina Get it from Amazon for $122.99+ (available in two colors). 26. A Bentgo stackable lunch container perfect for commuters who want to get back in the groove of bringing cheaper lunches from home again — this right here is a perfect leakproof, sturdy option for your mobile salad/charcuterie/"girl dinner" situations. It's also nice and deep for mixing salads, has an upper compartment to keep your other ingredients separate, *and* a container for dressing. Promising review: "I absolutely love these salad containers. These containers fit a ton of salad greens and all sizes of toppings — nuts, beans, cheese, fruits, meats, pasta, etc. They make packing lunch easy. Just throw in some greens, a protein, a dressing, and toppings that make salad fun for you! We use ours several times per week, and they make it to both our jobs without spilling or leaking. I walk and ride public transit, so mine gets tossed around a bit. Several of my friends and coworkers have bought them after seeing mine!" — Heathiedoodle Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in eight colors). 27. An easy-to-hold detangling brush from TikTok-beloved brand Kitsch — this elevated version is suitable for all hair types to quickly and oh-so-gently detangle hair and prevent breakage, whether you're brushing wet or dry.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors). 28. A set of quick-drying Swedish reusable dish towels that save the environment *and* a whole lot of your time and money. Each of these lil' bubs is durable enough to replace 15 paper towel rolls, and the ultra-absorbent cellulose makes it so much easier to scrub up grime. Eparé is a small business that specializes in kitchen and cleaning products for home use. Promising review: "Have been using these for a year now and absolutely pleased with replacing these for using paper towels. They are absorbent and easy to clean with dish soap and water, then hung to dry. I throw ones that have had several uses into the dishwasher at the end of the week. They hold their shape and absorbency, and while a duller pattern, does well for a couple of months each." — Ben McDonald Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two styles and in eight-packs). 29. A Larq, a self-cleaning water bottle designed with UV-C LED tech that not only purifies water in 60 seconds, but cleans the inner surfaces of the bottle — which it can do up to a full month on a single charge. Reviewers swear by this for making their water taste better, and for keeping water icy cold for hours! Larq is a small business that specializes in water purification products. Promising review:"We fill large bottles up every day and keep them cold in the fridge. The quality is outstanding. We love them. We had very bad tasting water and this made it taste great.

These also saved a lot of money because we didn't have to buy bottled water." — Mary Ann Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in seven colors and two sizes). 30. A wireless charging desk and mousepad to make juicing up your phone and AirPods so thoughtlessly easy that you might literally just set them down and recharge them by accident.

The mouse works wonderfully on the pad. Pad feels sturdy and will last a long time. Ordered the medium, and thankfully, it worked out that it fit my setup area perfectly. Overall, great item to have for my workspace." — Ken Situ Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in nine colors and five sizes). 31. An absurdly gorgeous, oh-so-functional detachable cookware set that has the luxe look of a lot of expensive brands, but wayyyy more convenience.

Each set includes an eight-inch and ten-inch frying pan, a ten-inch deep frying pan, a seven-inch and eight-inch saucepan, two glass lids, two removable handles, and four pot protectors. Promising review: "I found these detachable pots and pans on a YouTube video. They are such a space saver for small kitchen. They can stack on top of each other, which only takes up a small corner of the cabinet. The spot protectors are so useful and neat that you won't scratch the pots. They are very easy to clean. Great quality that I've recommended to several friends." — Yuli Aoki Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 32. A rectangular Lazy Susan to turn you into a legitimate fridge wizard by holding *way* more than the traditional round version.

I can fit so many items on it, and because of that, I now have so much more space on the door shelves. With this organizer, I will have easy access to all of those extra items that just don't have their own space. Now they do have a place to go! I would highly recommend this product to everyone who wants to feel more organized and doesn't want to lose items in their fridge." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.99. 33. An expanding shower liner perfect for anyone whose tiny shower is trying to smother them. This helps give you some more elbow room so you're not getting into a wrestling match with plastic every morning. Promising review: "Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a tiny bathroom in an old apartment building with an untreated window that needs to be covered with a shower curtain inside my shower. E very time you'd shower, you would be attacked by curtains from both sides. That is until I purchased this curtain. It gives so much more room in the shower, like a curved shower rod, but without all that hardware and work associated with it. It's weighted enough so it doesn't move. I'm no longer attacked by my shower curtains. I 100% would purchase again." — Brittany Hopkins Get it from Amazon for $39.95 + (available in five styles). 34. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper to make you feel like a golden god in your kitchen — this gadget julienne, chops, spiralizes, and slices vegetables in an instant and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in multiple styles and five colors). 35. A self-cleaning broom and dust pan set designed with pet owners in mind — the bristle cleaner installed in the dust pan makes it *super* easy to dislodge pet hair into the dust pan so you're not sweeping the floor with it all jammed up in there. Promising review:"Excellent, sturdy broom which sweeps nicely. The unit stays standing up without a lot of effort; it just has to be balanced prope rly. I like the little thingies on the dustpan that clean off the broom. Also, when sweeping into it, you don't have to hold the dustpan, plus it is easy to empty because dustpan doesn't flop around. I feel somewhat silly saying it, but it is a pleasure to sweep. I'm going to buy a few as gifts to some friends because I like it so much." — DonnaMarie13 Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors). 36. An internet-beloved OXO measuring cup with transparent measurements on the side *and* angled in the middle so you can see exactly how much you're measuring from a bird's-eye view. Amazon It also comes equipped with a soft grip handle and a deeply convenient angled nozzle, and is dishwasher-safe! Promising review:"Our old liquid measuring cups were beginning to get worn and very hard to read. I had seen these angled measuring cups before and wanted to give them a try, so I bought two (2-cup versions) to replace our existing cups. I've only gotten to use them a handful of times, but I can already tell you they are better than traditional measuring cups. In my opinion, this is the only way measuring cups should be made in the future." — SK Get it from Amazon for $10.95. 37. A set of transparent sticky notes reviewers love not just for the aesthetic but because it makes it easier to leave notes in books and study guides without interrupting the ~flow~ of the text.

Definitely will be purchasing more!" — penny Get a pack of 50 sheets from Amazon for $5.99 (available in seven colors). 38. A DogBuddy pooper scooper to make the process a whole lot more seamless and, TBH, less gross. This comes with built-in poop collection bags so when you use the scooper, it automatically bags it up out of sight. Reviewers especially love it because you can use it several times on a walk, and it hooks neatly to leashes! Check out a TikTok of the DogBuddy scooper in action. DogBuddy is a small business specializing in pet care products including bowls, mats, and scoopers. Promising review:"I normally don't leave reviews but this is amazing! It's easy to use and saves so many dog bags if you're taking a number of dogs on a walk because you don't need to open a new bag for each poop. It also makes the whole process a lot less gross. I would 100% recommend this for dog walks and even picking up poop in the backyard. It holds a lot more than you'd think!" — Joslyn Cavitt Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes). Reviews have been edited for length and/or 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 · Make your life a heck of a lot easier with this portable air fryer and this lunch meat container that made itself the darling of FridgeTok. 1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in three styles). 2.

Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster.

I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four styles). 3.

If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it " gold in a jar" and " witchcraft." Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders!

Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 5. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer, aka the answer to any money-conscious coffee lover's prayers — this version is not only cheaper and more portable than comparable models on the market, but WAY faster making cold brew without compromising on flavor. I'm talking five minutes as opposed to overnight, like other pitchers take — and it doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯 Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy.

Amazon Each air fryer comes with the"PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in three colors). 8. An absorbent floral dish drying mat so lovely that you'll actually — gasp — look forward to doing the dishes? The "main character in a rom com" energy of this mat is too strong to resist. Promising review:"This mat is perfect. It absorbs water from washed dishes well and provides a protective buffer between dishes and our granite countertops. After use, you can hang the mat; it will dry out in minutes. The mat is both decorative and functional. This was a great purchase. There will be no more wet dish towels to contend with. I highly recommend this product." — Cambodian Nurse Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in six styles and three sizes). 9.

A "Bacon Bin" so all the grease left over from your bacon has a home (read: does not clog your unsuspecting sink). Then you can easily store it in the fridge to cook with later, whether you're frying up bacon-greased veggies, burgers, or even (be still my baconified heart) grilled cheeeeeese. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the bacon bin in action. Talisman Designs is a small business that specializes in at-home cooking and entertaining products. Promising review:"This thing is awesome. Big enough to hold plenty of grease without taking up a ton of space. I keep mine in the butter compartment of my fridge next to the butter. I poured the grease right from the pan, still very hot right into it, and popped the lid on and put it in the fridge. Next time I needed some grease, I scooped some out with a spoon, no muss no fuss. Much better than the glass jar I was using. My only warning is if you get it out when people are visiting keep an eye on it. It's so cute and so good at its job everyone will want one." — John Dollard Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 11. An Oreo-inspired Cookies & Cream Shakeable Topping so the next time you need to prove your love for the iconic cookie, you can just whip out this shaker and rest your case.

Promising review:"This gorgeous lil' portable kettle has been the best companion during all my travels this year!
