Shopping · Life is hard enough, so why don't you convenience yourself with this portable charger and these handy blind-spot mirrors. 1. A silicone tumbler ice-shaped tray because you love your agua ice cold but your straw says "no, not today" to going all the way in when you use ice cubes. The mold comes with three different sizes so you'll be able to use it for any tumbler and even stack the cubes if you'd like to! 2. The Revlon Volcanic Face Roller soaks up any excess oil throughout the day, leaving your skin feeling fresh. The best part(s)? It can be used over a full face of makeup and is reusable, so you don't have to keep buying blotting papers! Amazon, Promising review:"I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." — Jennifer Helseth Get it from Amazon for $7.80. 3. A set of cowboy straw toppers that'll be the yee to your haw because not only will they protect your straw from germs, dust, and all the other icky stuff that lingers in the air but also add a lil' whimsy to your tumblers — we love a cute and practical product! Promising review:"So SO CUUUTE! 10/10!! Good product and keeps my straw from getting bugs or getting germs on it! Plus it's really cute." — JennA Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99 (available in four other styles). 4. A "Magic Tap" automatic drink dispenser because having to grab that big ol' gallon of milk or OJ in the morning is extra work you shouldn't have to go through. This gadget will easily slide into any jug and you just have to press your cup against the trigger for a refreshing drink. BTW, it doesn't work on carbonated bevs! Check out a TikTok of the drink dispenser in action. Promising review: "Super happy with this purchase. Our two little ones (5- and 3-year-olds) can now easily fill their own drinks. We also purchased a dual cereal dispenser from Amazon, so now the kids can get their own breakfast cereal with milk!" — April M. Ramos Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors and in multipacks). 5. A set of water-absorbent wristbands to prevent water from dripping down your arms *cringes in wet sleeves* and from pooling up by your feet as you're washing your face over the sink. They'll prevent any liquid from trickling down your arm so you won't have to change PJs every time you do your skincare routine. Promising review: "These are soft, absorbent, and a perfect fit on my average-sized wrist. I slip these on when I wash my face and they keep the water from running down my arms. They are dry by the next day when I go to use them again. They come four in a pack so even if I delay the laundry a little bit I always a fresh pair to use. I didn't need them to be pretty, but they are, which was nice. They were a great buy and a reasonable price." — ST Get a four-pair set from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five color/pattern combinations). 6. A sheet of 100 adhesive, sound-dampening bumpers because waking up to the sound of your roommate, partner, or kids slamming the pantry door shut after grabbing a snack at 4 a.m. (or vice versa) is just. so. agitating. Just stick these to the inside of all your cabinet doors and you'll never be rudely awakened by any night owls again. Amazon Promising review: "Best thing I have ever bought for my kitchen. Say goodbye to the heinous noise of slamming cabinets. My mother is notorious for just letting go of the cabinets and letting them slam shut, so before she came to visit I installed these and I couldn't have been happier. They keep the noise to a minimum and likely help to improve the longevity of the cabinet doors by reducing the impact. They are easy to install (although time consuming for all the cabinets in the kitchen) and mine have not fallen off after five months of use. When installing, I pressed them onto the cabinet hard for a 30 count before letting go. I think this is required to make them long-lasting. My father installed these at his home after he visited and his fell off because he just placed them on the cabinets like a sticker. After installing a second with the same method I used, he has not had any fall off." — Dave Carlson Get it from Amazon for $8.58. 7. A portable hair tie hub so you'll never have to ask anyone for a hair tie again. This baby can hold at least three of 'em, and probably even more, so the next time you're out with your besties and it's way too hot, you'll feel like Oprah handing them out — "you get one, you get one, everybody gets one!" Amazon Hair Tie Hub is a small business that specializes in hair tie organizing keychains. Each carries three hair ties and easily attaches to gym bags, purses, keys, and more! Promising review: "If you're anything like us, you are always forgetting a hair tie. Adding this to my keychain has been very useful. We are never having to scrounge around a purse or the car for one when we need it." — Muhammad Wasiq Maskeen Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three colors). 8. Or a hair tie bangle if you rather not have a black band ruin a nice outfit, but you always love to keep one around just in case. Just wrap your hair tie around the bracelet and it'll blend in seamlessly. Plus, reviewers love how it prevents the band from squeezing their wrists. Promising review:"Where has this been my entire life!? I love this thing; slip it on my wrist and put the hair band around it! I love having my hair down, but sometimes it gets in the way, and I want to quickly pull it up; I used to have a wristband line on my wrist all the time, especially if the band was new and tighter! I like that this is lightweight and since it's metal, but not thick, I can adjust it to fit a bit tighter on my wrist than when I originally got it." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.89 (available in three colors and in multipacks). 9. A bottle-emptying cap because the struggle to get out every last drop from a bottle is so real *cries in wasted shampoo*. Just attach it onto any lid, flip it, and let gravity do the rest for you. See one TikToker's positive review here! Each kit includes three adapters in different sizes to fit pretty much any bottle. Promising review: "Well worth it! Think of all the product in bottles you waste every year by not using something like this. It certainly covers the cost of this item! I love it!" — Rock360 Get it from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in two colors and in multipacks). 10. A pill tracker so you don't have to rack your brain every day trying to remember if you took your meds already, especially if you have a Dory-like memory. Take-n-Slide is the small business that created this genius tool to make it easy to keep track of medications. They also offer a vitamin tracker, pet med tracker, and multi-dose tracker. Promising review:"Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I've been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I've tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." — Niki Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors). 11. Some seamless bra liners because everyone with boobs knows the struggle of the perspiration that happens down there. This bb, savior, godsend — whatever you'd like to call it — absorbs sweat *and* cushions the underwire so it doesn't dig into your skin. That's what I call a twofer! Amazon Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you, thank you, thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful tatas you've helped to care for." — Niko Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes M–XXL and in three colors or a multicolored pack). 12. A document clip that can hold up to 30 sheets of paper!? What!? You can just attach it to your laptop or monitor with the included Command strip and clip on any necessary documents while you work or study! Promising review:"This simple item has made my life easier. It is extremely easy to install and to use. It has increased my productivity in the office when needing to refer to a hard document. When not in use, you can easily hide it behind your screen. It has two options to hold paper: one that you can just stick in and the other to clip on some documents." — Elee the Lawyer Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 13. A car cup holder extender because it's all fun and games until you hear a *THUD* as your precious Hydro Flask baby goes from the passenger seat to the floor. Well not to fret, this savior will allow you to keep your bottle within arm's reach and safe and secure because it'll actually fit in the cup holder! Promising review:"I have a giant, 40-oz. Owala stainless-steel bottle and a giant stainless steel Stanley brand coffee mug that fit beautifully in this cup holder extender! Now, my bottle isn't rolling around on the floor or all the way in the backseat where I can't reach it. I can actually enjoy drinking my coffee again instead of sealing it up and waiting until I get to work to drink it. It's expensive but it's well made and easy to put together. I really want a second one for my other car but I'm not sure I can justify the expense for the short amount of time I spend in that car!" — Vixxm Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four sizes and two colors). 14. A wireless portable charger if your low battery notification sends you into panic mode every. darn. day. and it's only 12 p.m. This is wayyy better than your typical charger because it doesn't require a cord *and* it's super lightweight! This is for USB-C outlets. Promising review: "I initially bought this for my fiancé to carry with him on the golf course, as his battery is ALWAYS dying. This small portable charger allows up to THREE FULL charges with battery percent on 5%. I love that it doesn't have any wires and plugs right into your phone; you can put your phone in your pocket or bag and charge on the go. With this portable charger, you will never have a dead phone battery." — Kristina Michelle Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in seven colors; for older iPhone models, check out this similar one). 15. A fast-acting, refillable plug-in fly trap so you can finally capture those annoying little pests that insist on zooming past your ear but you're never able to capture. This little thing will attract flies, moths, and gnats with a light and trap 'em on the back so you don't have to see them every day. Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. Promising review:"I can't say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It's a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" — Chris H. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a single-pack). 16. Anti-slip silicone glasses sleeves because having to push your glasses back up every five seconds is just so darn annoying. Just slip these onto the arms and protect your frames from ever hitting the floor again! Amazon Promising review:"I was a little dubious about these, but my daughter's glasses were always falling off her face and to the floor, so if I could spend a couple of bucks to save her expensive glasses, it was worth a shot. In fact, because you get five pairs, I put a set on my glasses, and I'll be darned if they don't work really well. They add a little bit of bulk to your glasses so if you're extremely fashion-conscious, it's not like tape-on-the-bridge nerdy, but it's there. But if you're more concerned about having your glasses feel like they're going to stay put on your head, then you'll like these. They aren't too thick so you don't really notice them on your ears. In fact, because of the soft silicone, they actually result in less of the occasional soreness I would get from my glasses on my ears sometimes." — Domenico Bettinelli Get a pack of five pairs from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three colors). 17. A DogBuddy pooper scooper so you no longer have to pick up that warm, mush of a mess that your doggo made with a plastic bag that's a little too thin. You just have to take one of the doo doo bags and pull it over the scooper, grab the poop, and tie it up — easy peasy, you'll be less queasy. 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 two sizes and four colors). 18. A rectangular turntable if you're a sauce girly and need to use hot sauce, soy sauce, and kewpie mayo for one meal. It rotates 360 degrees so you'll easily be able to access them all without having to reach back randomly into the fridge and hoping you grabbed the right bottle. Amazon Promising review:"TikTok made me buy it, but I'm not mad about it. This is a good-size turntable that makes it easy to see everything in it. My husband saw it and said, 'Nope, I prefer the round one,' then I pulled it out, and his reply was, 'Okay, I do like this." If it gets a pass from my husband, then I know it's a good choice." — Judith Melvin Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 19. A Frostbuddy because you drink your daily iced coffee a little too slow and by noon, it's lukewarm and watered down. Just plop any cup (small, medium, *and* large sizes fit) into this nifty vacuum-insulated thing, and it'll keep your drink cold for HOURS — you'll be able to keep sippin' on your non-diluted latte throughout the day! Frost Buddy is a small business that specializes in universal thermal-controlling drinkware. Check out a TikTok of the Frostbuddy in action. It comes with a lid, so you can also use it as a regular thermos to keep drinks icy cold and super hot! TBH, you can even pop a hot coffee cup into this to keep it warm, so the Frostbuddy is technically also a Hotbuddy. Promising review:"I absolutely love this! I use this all the time for my coffee from Starbucks, and it is amazing! I'll get iced coffee at 9 a.m. and still have ice in it at 7 p.m. I have many Frostbuddy products now, and their entire line is phenomenal. This is definitely a must-have item for coffee or tea drinkers. I love that it also comes with a leakproof lid, so you can put your own drink in there, too. Overall, awesome product!" — EHW Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 24 styles). 20. Or an electric mug warmer so you don't constantly have to get up and put your mug in the microwave over and over again — especially if you're a sipper. After four hours (with hopes you finish your drink by then), it'll automatically shut off so you don't have to worry about it. Tip: Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once your drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature! Promising review:"This is my third Vobaga coffee warmer. I bought the first one in 2018, and it's still going strong. It keeps my coffee hot to the last drop. It's important to remember it doesn't heat up cold beverages to piping hot. It keeps hot beverages hot." — hottytoddy Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in 10 colors/styles). 21. A set of heel caps so your stilettos will no longer become victim to gravel, dirt, and grass and sink in. Plus reviewers say these help keep them stable while walking — this one's for all the clumsy folks out there! Promising review:"I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." — J L D Get a pair on Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes). 22. A box of extra strength Gas-X chewables because wow, do large meals make you feel bloated and uncomfy (same, bestie). Each one of these pills has 125mg of simethicone to help you relieve the gas that's packed in your tummy. Amazon Promising review:"Sometimes you eat something that is too rich on an empty stomach and wham — the pain, the bloating, the weird weird noises start. And then if you have this, within minutes it helps relieve the gas, bloating, and discomfort. Taking this is nothing to be ashamed about; it happens to everyone whether they like to admit it or not." — MusicLover Get a pack of 72 chewable tablets from Amazon for $14.59. 23. An anti-blister balm to prevent, well, blisters. Whether you're breaking in new shoes or going on a long walk, you'll want to keep this fairy godmother with you to save your poor feet from hardships. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! I wore heels that always give me blisters for eight hours, and I didn't get a single one when using this balm. It really worked! I plan on getting it again and again. I always have it in my bag at work just in case. I did find it necessary to reapply if I took my shoes off and put them on again." — Donna Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 24. A water-resistant insulated water bottle carrier so when you take your hot girl walks, you can stay hydrated — especially because it's warm now! This will allow you to keep your hands free and will fit a tumbler, phone, wallet, and more! Promising review:"Very handy when traveling or at the gym! I got this one after getting a smaller brand. I love the extra pockets on this and the roomie section for ANY water bottle or a smaller water bottle and other stuff. The zipped pocket holds my iPhone Max just fine. Just took this on a cruise, and several people commented wishing they had one. So much easier than a backpack or something for your water bottle." — Judy Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 14 colors). 25. A pack of underarm shields because the summer heat is seriously no joke. Not only will these prevent sweat from going through your clothes, but they'll also help stop pit odors — don't you worry, even if you're sweating buckets your clothes can still smell like flowers and sunshine. Amazon Promising review:"I love these. I have a few cute summer dresses with sleeves — eeek! The first time I tried the shields it was 104 degrees at an outdoor event, and I was sweating bullets! The shields worked BEAUTIFULLY. Not a sweat stain in sight." — Cosmic Girl Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $14.99. 26. A 2-in-1 contact and glasses case that all my four-eye buddies need because when you're out and about and your contact falls out? Truly THE WORST. This comes with two compartments, one for your glasses and one that holds a mini solution bottle, a contact case, and rubber tweezers. The best part is the mirror so you never have to blindly aim for your eyes again! Promising review: "Because of my job, I live out of a suitcase, and I am always worried if I need an extra set of contacts or a spare pair of eyeglasses. This is perfect, because I just put it in the bottom of my suitcase, and I am confident I have them both in one place. I got the pink case, and it's very cute. Very happy with this purchase." — N. Rivera Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in eight colors). 27. A glow-in-the-dark Fire TV Stick remote case because after a long day at work, all you want to do is plop down on the couch and watch a few episodes of New Girl — but, where the heck is the remote!? This nifty case will prevent you from dropping it because of the anti-slip bumps, and if you misplace it, you'll be able to find it in mere seconds because it'll be ~glowing~. Check out a TikTok of the glow-in-the-dark case in action. Promising review: "It's a thin silicone case that slips right on and has holes for all buttons and the microphone in the right places. It also has raised dots on the back to make it easy to grip. With the easy to see color, I no longer lose my remote in the couch cushions. Highly recommend." — S. Mizrahi Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors and two versions). 28. A small but mighty white-noise sound machine if you're a high-maintenance sleeper (zero shame in that because same here, bestie). It has so many relaxing sound options like a babbling brook or crackling fireplace so you'll be knocked out in no time. It comes with four different warm light settings, 25 sound options, five timers, 32 volume levels, and is rechargeable! Promising review: "This Christmas gift was the perfect cure for my hard to sleep nights. Within just a few minutes I was out cold. Talk about feeling refreshed this morning!! I may even skip my coffee haha! We are taking it it for a trip we have coming up because it's so easy to use, small and compact for packing and let's face it hotels are the hardest places to sleep so we think this will be a game changer for us." — A C Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 29. An easy adhesive phone card holder because we're all attached to our phones, and we'll never forget to bring them, but our wallets? Probably. Now you'll never leave your cash and cards behind when you leave home because they'll be with your social media device 24/7! Wallaroo Wallets is a small business that specializes in uniquely-designed minimalist wallets. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: " I've used these wallets for four years now, and they are worth every penny! Mine last about six months at a time before they get dingy enough to replace, and easily hold three cards and a five dollar bill. I've never had any issues with them un-sticking off the phone case, and they're super easy to pull off. It makes my life so much easier not to carry a wallet around, plus I never lose my ID!" Promising review: "The Wallaroo phone wallet is a must have for any cell phone owner. The quality of the leather and design of the wallet is superb. I recently went on vacation and purchased my Walleroo before my trip. It was so convenient to carry my ID, credit card, and hotel key and not have to carry my actual wallet. This is a great product that I highly recommend." — Todd Smithson Get it from Amazon $13.95 (available in 14 colors). 30. A set of storage scrunchies so you won't have to struggle to carry your necessities when you don't have pockets or a bag. The hidden zipper in these will allow you to tuck your lip gloss and cash inside! LokiStashed is a California-based small business that specializes in unique and practical hair accessories. Promising review: "I got these scrunchies so I could stash away money, lip balm, and car/house keys while enjoying a hike, at the beach, or going to festivals... basically places where you don't want to be worried about carrying a lot or you don't want people to know where your stuff is. I have very long thick hair and the scrunchie will go around my hair twice while in a ponytail or bun and it is comfortable." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of three from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven color combinations). 31. The Car Seat Key for anyone with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or just long nails. Unclipping the buckle of your child's car seat is pretty darn hard sometimes. Luckily with this nifty tool, all you have to do is slide it over the red button and squeeze! Promising review:"After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I'd have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out and omg!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it but once I did I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! Lol If you've been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It's worth it!" — Tora318 Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three colors and also in multipacks). 32. A genius rolling egg dispenser if your fridge doesn't have enough room for a big ol' carton or you simply don't like opening the container. This bb is so slim, it'll save you so much space, and thanks to our good friend gravity, a new egg will replace the one you just grabbed! Check out a TikTok of the egg storage roller in action. YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." — Karingen Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 33. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher so you don't have to get out of bed to turn on the coffee maker and can get a few extra minutes of shuteye instead. Just attach the SwitchBot to any device with an on/off switch and download the app! From there, you can even set it on a timer — all you need is a Bluetooth connection. Amazon, Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed! You can even connect it to your Alexa or Google Home for voice control. Promising review:"This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." — Alecia McLochlin Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 34. Blind-spot mirrors because parallel parking and merging lanes can be such a pain. in. the. neck (yes, figuratively and literally). With these helpful lil' gizmos, you'll be able to save so much time trying to squeeze into that space *and* do it safely! Promising review:"I bought these for my mom's car and mine a while ago and these little things are great. Since I got my license I've hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these its been a blessing, I feel less like a scared new driver. I'm currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these too! These are also great for backing up, because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind, and it's helpful when I parallel park in the city." — Mariam Abass Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in seven shapes and also in a pack of four).

It can be slightly tricky to open, I just slide one finger in and then expand my hand to open it but it has a magnetic-like closure. Love the color too, it's simple." — mandella cesena Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors). 6. A "Shower Cat" that'll be a hit with folks who spend half their time in the shower making hair art on the walls, which inevitably ends up clogging the drain. TMI? This makes catching your hair *much* easier and gives it a proper place while you finish sudsing up. Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs. Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn't want to be how I used to be, where I'd just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don't stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." — Cari Schwartzkopf Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in two colors). 7. Horizontal Parenting, a laugh-out-loud funny (and surprisingly clever!) book for parents who would happily do ANYTHING if they could lie down for just a minute. Grab this book, draw some roads on one of your old shirts, hand your kid a toy car, and let them play "Back Street" while you fall sound asleep. Amazon Promising review:"My kid loves this, and so do I! The games are good and are wonderful for days when you are low energy. It's a must-have." — Miai G. Get it from Amazon for $13.90. 8. A cloud light that'll turn any regular room into a rave-worthy wonderland. Or a soothing sanctuary — you do you. Be sure to download the app so you can try out all the color combinations! And to sync to your phone, simply connect the two via Bluetooth Promising review: "My child has been asking for a cloudscape on her wall/celling for some time now and after I saw this product in the reviews I took a risk and bought two of them. I was shocked at how many accessories for hanging these up and securing the cords to the ceiling and wall came with the product. And the options for different type of hanging and adhesion were plentiful. I was able to hang the clouds up in probably a total of 10 minutes. After fluffing the clouds a bit and letting my daughter pick the exact right spot we were so happy with the result! The brightness, color options, pattern options, etc were endless. My daughter enjoys having the app on her phone because it makes it fun to create the mood she is looking for, depending one the occasion (she also likes to mess with me by making them blink or change when she's not in the room and I am in there picking up laundry or what have you). She also enjoys having the timer feature so that she can go to sleep with it on. Overall, I'm very impressed and highly recommend this product!" — JHay Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in multipacks). 9. A set of french fry clips to keep opened snacks fresh.

And a set of Goldfish fridge magnets for cool folks who love covering their refrigerator with pictures and drawings (and crackers) and LIFE! The fridge is *primo* real estate for that stuff.

Merriton is a woman-owned small biz that specializes in scented liners for dressers and linen closets. Oh! And be sure to lay it flat after unrolling and put something heavy on it before putting it in your drawer so the edges don't start to currl up when you install it. Promising review:"This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it's beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it. I very much prefer non-adhesive paper like this because it is easy to install and replace, but also because it is old-school elegance." — Trillium Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three patterns). 12. Cloning paste — if you've found that your houseplants are standing around stagnant, you're sure to *love* this stuff! This little formula helps encourage new growth and buds.

Science is so satisfying. Promising review:"This product is just AMAZING!!! I waited a few months before writing this review because I wanted to test the product first. I am just AMAZED! I have to on the season and the place on the spike where you apply it, you either get a keiki or new flower spike (which is awesome!). Based on my experiments, the lower on the spike, the more chances to get a keiki. The higher on the spike, the more chances to get a new flower spike. If you apply it during winter (tropical area winter), you will more likely get flower spikes. If you apply it during summer (tropical areas), you will more likely get a keiki — at least that's what I observed!" — Anne-Isabelle Bonifassi Get it from Amazon for $18.97 (available in three pack sizes). 13. A JetKids ride-on carry-on suitcase you may feel all braggy about when you see other parents at the airport with exhausted kids who are sick of traveling before they even board.

Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." — Shopmindfully Get it from Amazon for $12.79 (available in several colors/patterns). 22. A lit willow vine so you can add ethereal lighting to your rooms rather than let your rental's glaring overhead light destroy your zen. Promising review:"I love this light! I put it on my wall in the living room. I love its soothing, warm glow. It makes my living room look sooo cozy. It's perfect for the empty space on my wall.

Not only does this let natural light in, but this particular design projects rainbows into your home when the sun hits it just right! Promising review:"I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat." — J. B. Get it from Amazon for $5.92+ (available in 11 sizes). 25. A retro-style smoothie maker that is, to put it lightly, overwhelmingly lovely.

I have been through many high end blenders that have broken or just didn't cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn't leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I've never written a review on here before but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it's so cute on the counter!" – Casey Get it from Amazon for $42.31. 26.

Amazon Promising review:"This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 :( and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we're amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it's fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don't let this stop you from getting it though, it was worth every penny!" — JW Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors). 34.

Pros: four slots, and they are the wide-and-long type, meaning those fancier breads fit without squishing the sides of your slice.

Cons: My husband is a little jealous of how much I love this toaster, and has been asking me if it is better than him. What could I say? I mean it makes TOAST, all he makes is methane gas so... Maybe consider ordering a couples therapy workbook to go with this toaster when purchasing." — Alice R. Get it it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in eight colors and a two-slice style). 35.

Fortunately, all it takes to make your kids think your minivan is as cool as Lightning McQueen is a couple of googly eyes. Sigh, I wish it were that easy for me. Promising review:"This saved me in the Texas summer. The traditional 'accordion cover' always took too long to set up and fold back, it was also baggy on my car. But this umbrella-like design works great. It takes two seconds to put up or take down, fits perfectly against my windshield, and definitely makes a difference in the temperature of my car. I'll definitely buy another one for a backup." — Jade Rigsby Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four colors). 38.

Amazon This pie bird is safe for the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler, and dishwasher! Promising review:"Amazing what difference this bird can make to your pie! I definitely made the best apple pie I've ever made with this little device.
