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 · Whoever created this hands-free stirrer and these blind-spot mirrors must have an IQ of 200. 1. A pair of ceiling fan charms that not only make for some really cute decor but are actually quite helpful. The next time you want to turn on the light when it's pitch dark in your room, you'll get it right on the first try instead of playing the guessing game. 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? you're in the dark.) They're much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor." — LHD Get them from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in three styles and two lengths). 2. An RFID-blocking travel wallet so the next time you're traveling, you'll feel a whole lot more organized because this handy dandy thing can hold your passport, wallet, cards, and even your phone! You'll never hold up the TSA line again while you scramble to find your ID that's hidden at the bottom of your bag. Promising review:"I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn't bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen (¥), which are larger. I didn't use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" — Anthony Luu Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 26 colors; clip the coupon on the product page to save 15%). 3. A "flossing toothbrush" that'll have you singing 🎶my shiny teeth and me🎶 because it'll clean the spaces between your pearly whites that most toothbrushes can't even reach. The extra long and thin bristles allow it to reach between the teeth, under the gum line, and in those crevices — there will be no cavities here, fingers crossed! Plus reviewers with sensitives gums say it's super soft and doesn't hurt to brush. Emma Lord / BuzzFeed Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Promising review: "Having been a dental assistant for over 30 years, I found this to be the best brush ever. I am 69 years old and have never had a cavity (genetic and maintenance). For the past 30 years I have used electric toothbrushes. They worked great, but I like Dr. P's brush because of the flossing like bristles. It's also the perfect size for a quick brush for each quadrant. Also, since taste buds are replaced every four days brushing your tongue is important to keep your breath fresh and food will taste better. Everybody brush now! Great idea from a dentist!" — BenK Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99. 4. A pair of seamless Nippies silicone pasties because sometimes we just can't be bothered to ~free the nip~. These won't show through your tops and will help cover your areola and nipple, especially if you're planning on wearing any mesh or sheer blouses. Oh and did I forget to mention they'll also give you some of the support and comfort that regular bras give!? You'll get the benefits of a bra without the wires *or* straps — a HUGE WIN! Promising review: "I've tried so many nipple covers over the years and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don't move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer etc — nothing budges them) but then they also peel off so easily. It's magic. They are completely seamless and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin on. I've got quite 'triangular' boobs and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I'm suuuuuper cold do any level of nipple start to show through and even then it's minimal. They're more pricey than others I've bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase as soon as they wear out without a doubt! No more bras!" — Alison Get a set from Amazon for $26.50 (available in five shades, a lifting option, and three sizes: one that fits cups A–C, one that fits cups D+, and one that fits cups DD+). 5. Shout color-catching sheets so the next time you do laundry you don't have to separate your whites from your colors. These'll capture all the running dye so you can save those tears when you realize your favorite shirt is still white! Promising review:"These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from bleeding. It makes all clothes/laundry brighter and looking like new — not that old washed color after just one wash without these sheets. I give this product 5+ stars. Highly recommend. A few pennies spent additionally on your laundry makes one look like wearing new clothes all the time." — Nikita Get 72 sheets from Amazon for $11.53. 6. A clever coffee pod tray that's perfect for those early mornings when you don't even have the energy to open the pantry and reach around to find a K-Cup. You can install it under your cabinet and slide it out for easy access — oh, and it'll save some storage space and you'll literally be making use out of all the surfaces of your kitchen! Promising review: "This space saver K-Cup is wonderful! It is attractive and keep my counter clutter free. It is lightweight but very sturdy. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to gain valuable counter space." — christine h Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 7. A jewelry cleaning stick because your fave everyday ring has gone through the wringer and back and lost all of its sparkle. This savior of a pen will get into all the crevices of your jewelry and revive it so it can 🎶shine bright like a diamond🎶 once again. Promising review:"I use this to clean my engagement ring every week — sometimes every two weeks so I can REALLY see the difference, lol. It does a better job than the expensive liquid cleaner I bought from a high-end jeweler and it's much easier and faster to use. Can't recommend enough!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in packs of two or three). 8. A Cat Dancer toy that'll for sure get you feline friend movin', even if they're the grumpiest cat in town. Promising review:"This little toy is a miracle! Was skeptical at first since it's such a simple design but my cat (who usually only plays for a couple of minutes) was obsessed with this toy from the moment I opened the package. Even more, he won't let it out of his sight and brings it to me so he can play some more. Will be buying a lot more of these in the future!" — Amcooper2006 Get it from Amazon for $3.99. 9. An easy-to-use Yonanas soft serve maker because your sweet tooth always craves ice cream at night but you never have any on hand or you simply don't want to go to the grocery store to get some. Well if you have any frozen fruit, this baby can turn it into a delicious sorbet without any additional ingredients! When you're done you can take it apart and put all the pieces on the top rack of the dishwasher! All you have to with the base is wipe it clean. Promising review:"I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it, I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! I t makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It's easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." — DMCKAY Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in four colors). 10. A cult-favorite Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer that may just give the Dyson Airwrap a run for its money, especially if you consider the price points. If you want a salon-like blowout without having to spend that much time, effort, or money, this was basically made for you because it'll dry and style your hair at the same — two birds with one stone, am I right? The oval brush design smooths the hair and the round edges create volume. It also has two heat and speed settings and a cool option. While it's designed to work on all hair textures (reviewers with 2b–4c hair mentioned it working for them), some reviewers with 4a–4c hair say it didn't work the best for them. For a brush designed with coilier hair in mind, check out the Revlon One-Step paddle brush! Promising review:"I wanted to try this because I had tried the Dyson hair tool and loved it, but didn't necessarily want to pay the $500+ to buy one. This product works great and is budget friendly. Has a cool setting and then low, medium, and high for heat. I noticed my hair gets frizzy if I don't do the heat but I do have bleached blonde hair. My hair looks and feels great! This product is very easy to use! I love it and would buy it again!" — TbearZ86xoxo Get it from Amazon for $33.49+ (available in eight styles). 11. An eyelash comb to separate your lashes when your mascara clumps up after applying. Just brush this through a few times and you're good to go! Promising review:"No matter how good the brand/wand is, even a brand-new mascara will leave clumps behind. Once applied, mascara dries too fast. This tool easily glides through lashes to remove clumps." — John Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two colors). 12. A drain cover because your *entire* body deserves to be submerged in water when you take a bubbly, hot bath instead of your shoulders and knees falling victim to the overflow drain. This angel will allow your tub to fill up to whatever height YOU want it to be and you'll finally be able to relax, hallelujah. 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 safely drain. Promising review:"Can I give this thing 10 gold stars? I have a four 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 salts 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). 13. A handy meal planning pad so your children, spouse, or roommates stop pestering you every day asking what's for dinner. You'll be able to plan out your meals for the week so you know exactly what to buy at the market. Plus it comes with a detachable shopping list if you're one to go rogue at the grocery store and forget what you were there for. Amazon Plus, it's got magnets on the back so you can easily hang it on your fridge! It's made by a small biz that has the cutest planners! Promising review:"This simple tool is just what I need to get dinner organized for each week. Deciding what to cook one night at a time can be stressful for me, and the added time of running to the store for the day's missing ingredients can really add up. Sometimes we'd just give up and go out for dinner. This product has saved me time and money." — minmom24 Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five designs). 14. An adjustable mug organizer set because trying to stack mugs is no simple feat. If you can't stand seeing your cups take up all the space in your cabinet, you have come to the right place, my friend. These genius stackers let you store drinkware safely and securely on top of each other so you can make the most of your cabinet real estate. Elypro is a small business based in New York City that makes all sorts of genius organization products. Promising review: "I was wondering if it works on mismatched mugs and it does!! It cleared up a lot of space and makes a FANTASTIC addition to my kitchen tools to keep things organized!! Must have! Will buy again!" — J.D. Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 15. A handy little cleaning ball that you can leave in your bag to capture any dirt, dust, or crumbs that *dare* to enter. You can also take it out of the casing and roll it around to pick up whatever is left over! This won't end up in your junk drawer; it'll just live in your bag. Amazon, See how well it works at cleaning the bottom of a bag on TikTok! Promising review:"I found out about this little gadget from a TikTok video, and I thought I'd give it a try. I usually keep some sort of snack in my purse, and as much as I try to keep the containers sealed and to keep my bags clean, I inevitably end up with those annoying little micro-crumbs at the bottom. As soon as I ordered this ball, I put it straight into my purse, and within a day or two, it was already time to wash it! It picks up a lot for being so small! Pro tip: To open it, squeeze the thick ring around the middle and it should pop apart pretty easily. Rinse off the sticky ball part with just water, then put it back together and let it air dry for a couple of hours. Good as new! I highly recommend this product. Whether you have kids or not, bags just get lint and teeny tiny little crumbs over time. Buy it!!" — Sarah Couv Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors, as well as a set of three). 16. Hidden bookshelves so you can have all your books on display *and* make them look like they're levitating — "Wingardium Leviosa 🪄." Promising review:"These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" — LaBuenaVidaMere Get it from Amazon for $14.29+ (available in two sizes and in sets of one or three). 17. A "Life Binder" printable if you want your life to be as organized as Brooklyn Nine-Nine 's Amy Santiago — she would buy this with no hesitation. It comes with pre-made charts that you can fill out with all the important info in your life and there are also sections where you can store your paperwork. When tax season comes around, you'll never have to frantically search for your W-2 ever again because it'll be safely stored in here! Life's Lists/Etsy It comes with 67 printable pages to keep track of your busy life! Life's Lists is a Connecticut-based, woman-owned Etsy shop established in 2014 by a professional organizer, specializing in printable planners, journals, and activity packs. Promising review:"I haven't found a set as complete and beautifully designed nor as large as I need it. This is invaluable and will be used for years to come." — Renee J. Get the digital download from Life's Lists on Etsy for $23. 18. A pair of prism spectacles that are ideal for people in their "lazy gal" era (aka me). You can lie completely flat on your back to read or scroll through TikTok instead of doing an unintentional core workout and straining your neck just to prop your head up. Promising review:"I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." — Michael Boyd Get them from Amazon for $12.99. 19. A HyperChiller device if you cannot stand drinking warm or lukewarm bevs (trust me, I so get it). It'll turn any drink — as long as it's not carbonated — ice-cold in less than a minute *gasp * and it won't water it down * GASP*. Iced-coffee only drinkers, unite! Promising review:"Got this for my boyfriend who hates hot coffee but makes his coffee with the Keurig. This little thing fits right on the freezer door, cleans really easily, and cools down whatever you put into it so quickly. We have even used it to cool down wine and other spirits that aren't carbonated. It beats adding ice to a drink you don't want to water down!" — J_Thill Get it from Amazon for $14.79+ (available in five colors). 20. A small but mighty desktop vacuum so you can finally rid your desk and window sills of dust, crumbs, and everything else that's been lingering there without having to lug out that big ol' vacuum. Plus it's wireless and rechargeable, so you can bring it anywhere! Promising review:"Holy geez, where was this all my life? This is the perfect crumb catcher/sweeper for your table. Have little ones that leave toast crumbs everywhere? Or a husband that drops little bits of stuff? This will vacuum it all up and voila clean table! It's a nice compact size and can pick up sizable crumbs easily." — Kestrel Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two colors and two styles). 21. A kitchen mixer cord organizer because those clunky cords that just sit on your counter are such an eyesore. Just attach the organizer to the back of any appliance with the included Command Strip and wrap the cable around it. 3D Home Solution / Etsy The Command strip is included, along with an alcohol cleaning pad. 3D Home Solution is a Frisco, Texas–based Etsy shop that specializes in organization products. Promising review: "Great product. Super easy to use! Currently using on my KitchenAid, my Instant Pot, my air fryer, as well as my toaster. Using these cleaned up my counter two fold and made storing 100% easier. Thank you!!" — Suzanne Baker Get it from 3D Home Solution on Etsy for $8 (available in three colors). 22. A strainer that clips onto the side of any pot, pan, or bowl so you don't have to bring out that big, bulky colander — plus it takes up way less space and you can even store it in a drawer! You can also use this to wash your fruits and veggies so nothing ends up in the sink. Amazon It's made of flexible silicone and designed to fit most pots and pans. Promising review:"Years ago I had a pot strainer that worked well. When it finally broke I bought several nearer versions and NONE of them fit anything well. I ended up getting a large bowl-style strainer which worked but took up valuable cabinet space. This clip-on silicone strainer is amazing! It fits every pot in my cabinet, keeping food in and letting the water or grease out. Plus it frees up valuable cabinet space. I highly recommend it!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in seven colors). 23. A smartphone sanitizer if you've been scared of germs ever since (or before) COVID, and rightfully so. Not only will it sanitize your phone for you, but it also serves as a place to charge it — a win-win! You can also use it on any other products that'll fit in here like keys or a small wallet. PhoneSoap is a small business that creates products to help you keep your phone germ-free. Promising review:"I love that I can put my phone in there after I get home and it is sanitized in no time at all. I work in health care and it makes me feel better about having my phone at work." — Tammy Get it from Amazon for $79.95 (available in five colors). 24. A dishwasher-safe unicorn pool floa* tea* infuser that is just so darn *uni que -corn* and fun! Just fill the bottom of it with the loose tea leaves of your choice and let it swim around your mug. I. need. it. now. Promising review:"LOVE THIS!! I've only tried the infuser with one kind of tea (blue butterfly pea flower) but it was delicious! Will need to buy at least one more to bring to the office! Plus it looks so adorable in my Hocus Pocus mug. 😊" — Anna Get it from Amazon for $12.70 (also available as a duck or flamingo). 25. A caddy because your nightstand is just a little too far of a reach when you're comfy cozy in bed and you don't want to move an inch to grab your iPad. You can attach this helping hand to the side of your couch or bed to store your remotes, glasses, phone, and more! Amazon Promising review:"I had a nicer-looking, more expensive version of this in my cart originally. This was one-third of that price and I'm so glad I went with this one. Its got a sturdy backing on both pieces (piece with pockets and a piece that goes between mattresses), one large pocket closest to the bed, and three decent-sized mesh pockets. I have it between my mattress and box spring." — Danielle Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 26. A folding car trunk organizer that's perfect for all your Costco runs since it's almost impossible to find a box big enough for everything you bought. You'll be able to store everything neatly in here without things toppling over in your trunk every time you hit the brakes. Amazon Promising review:"It was just what I needed for my messy and unorganized truck! I wanted something not too bulky, but just the right size to help me reorganize my trunk. This product did that for me. I was also concerned that it would move when I drove, but luckily there is Velcro on the bottom that secures it in place while you drive, and sure enough, it did just that! This product does not take up a lot of space and gives you the right amount of measure to place other things like groceries and a suitcase. I am completely satisfied and content with this product! I wish I had it all along!" — Neese Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 27. 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). 28. A eye makeup remover so you can remove your eyeliner and mascara with ease instead of taking a wipe to your eyes and rubbing them until a few of your lashes fall out. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman has to say about it: "This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes." Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" — Chrisy Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 29. A wooden kennel cover that you can place over your pup's crate and turn it into the entryway table that you've only dreamed of having because you've never had enough space. My Farmhouse Essential is a small business based in Gainesville, Georgia. They create tons of handmade wood work home decor! Promising review:"Fits the crate perfectly, doesn't slide around but easy to move when needed. It changes the entire dynamic of the room. Previously I had a metal crate sticking out like a sore thumb. Now I have a beautiful piece of furniture at a very small cost. It also arrived quickly. Very pleased with it and I've ordered a second one for a smaller crate." — Alicia Staton " Buy this if you want to create additional storage or surface area for a studio apartment if you have a dog! High quality and a lot of options to choose from." — Elena Get it from My Farmhouse Essential on Etsy for $21.30+ (originally $70.99+; available in seven sizes and 11 wood finishes). 30. A hands-free pot stirrer that looks like it was invented in the future and was brought back here to be every busy person's savior. If you're making pasta or soup that requires a lot of "stir-age," just attach this gem to the side of the pot and let it do all the work for you — so you can catch up on all the TikTok DMs your friends have sent you. Promising review:"I enjoy soups and puddings but hate to stand at the stove for 30 minutes or whatever making sure the milk doesn't burn. The StirMate solved my problem. I would recommend this item to everyone who cooks; what a great help in the kitchen." — Mary J Get it from Amazon for $78.95. 32. A foldable, slip-resistant "Sink Topper" if your sink is just, well, sink, and there's no space for anything else. Unfold this on top of the counter and you'll finally have that extra space for all your skincare and makeup products so you can get ready morning or night with ease. Sink Topper is a small business that specializes in household-friendly organizing mats. Promising review:"I was introduced to this item through TikTok and they weren't joking when they place certain videos on your 'For You Page,' because they knew that I NEEDED THIS. It is super helpful for small sinks and I love the material. It doesn't slide around, it's wide enough for all my (at the moment) bathroom needs and I can easily fold it up and take it anywhere with me." — Allie West Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven colors and two sizes). 33. A magnetic towel so you don't have to leave your towel on the gym floor because who knows what's been festering on there. My guess? A whole lot of random people's sweat — yuck. You can just stick this to any magnetic surface or use the included clip it to attach it to your bag. Promising review: "Easier to attach/remove from a cart or bag. Magnet is removable for machine washing. Cleans balls/clubs well." — Kent Watase Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in three colors). 34. An in-flight foot hammock because as much as we want to be in first class * sighs*, it's just not in our budget, but this is! This will give your economy seat a little more pizzazz because you'll be able to rest your feet instead of awkwardly trying to place them around your personal bag — the struggle is real. Just attach it to your tray table and you'll be able to keep your feet elevated and not have to deal with swelling or soreness! Yay! Promising review:"I used this recently on an overnight flight to Europe. Definitely made me more comfortable to have my feet elevated off the floor (I'm 5'3"). It could have been a little wider (I have small size 7 feet). But it was ample enough and compact to travel with. It did not bother the person in front of me (I had it attached to my tray table). Glad I made the purchase, definitely felt like it gave my legs some relief." — daydoo72 Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 35. A WD-40 pen (why did I just discover this!?) so when your door hinge is making that squeaking sound that's borderline ~horror-movie eerie~, you can just go at it with the precise pen tip instead of bringing out that big ol' can of regular WD-40. No more squeaking or rusting here! Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.86. 36. A Shark Tank- famous Lion Latch travel jewelry case that you can clip onto your keys, water bottle, or backpack so you'll never lose your family heirloom ring. The lid is locked in place and can't be opened unless the carabiner is taken off! So the next time you're taking a dive into the ocean, just put all your jewelry here so it doesn't get lost in the sand. Lion Latch is a woman-owned business founded by Lerin Lockwood, a high school art teacher from Texas. Promising review: "This genius little invention is absolutely perfect for keeping jewelry safe! I love that you can clip it to your keys, bookbag, purse, etc. I plan on using this when I travel and go hiking to keep my engagement ring safe. If the lid is on and the clip is through the holes, there is no way you can lose anything. It's perfect!" — Hollie Daniels Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in nine colors and in packs of three). Check out more Shark Tank products our readers actually swear by! 37. A kids art frame because your refrigerator literally has no more space to hang up your kiddo's drawings. You'll be able to show off their best piece *and* you'll never have to throw any others away because you can store them in the back of the frame. You'll never feel guilty again when your young one hands your a quite abstract family portrait and you have no idea what to do with it. It can hold up to 100 sheets of paper!!! Check out a TikTok of the art frames in action. Promising review: "Wish I'd known about these with my first kid or my second. Now I'm on my third, and our kitchen was littered with art projects. These were a great solution to clear out the clutter and make my kitchen look less like a kindergarten classroom. The frames store A LOT of art in them, and each kid has their own frame and can decide which picture to put on display. Magnetic case makes it easy to open but stays shut when it's supposed to." — probooks627 Get it from Amazon for $16.61+ (available in 10 colors and also in a two- or four-pack). 38. A standing weeder so you don't have to hunch over in your garden for hours trying to yank out those stubborn weeds. Just dig this tool straight into whatever you want to remove and the three steel claws will grip the roots so you can easily pull them out! Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based, family-owned small business. Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it from Amazon for $35.12. 39. A pair of specially designed Wrist Buddy contoured yoga blocks if the reason you can't plank for over a minute is NOT 'cause of your lack of core strength but because your arms are in such a strained position. These blocks come with contoured molds for your hands to you can workout comfortably with a lot less pressure on your wrists. Amazon Promising review: "I typically have pretty bad pain in my right wrist. So, when I wanted to start yoga again, I did not want to aggravate it. These blocks have helped tremendously. I can now do poses like downward dog with no wrist pain at all!" — Cris Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors). 40. A popular, long-lasting eyeliner stamp because if you're like me and have to redo your wing a bajillion times, this is SO worth it. With this stamp you won't waste any eyeliner — all it takes is one stamp and DONE! One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye. Promising review:"Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before, and they were so watery and not close to the dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" — Elizabeth Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in three sizes).

You'll Instantly Envy The Genius Who Invented These 34 Products — They're Just That Good
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 · It's perfectly normal to be jealous of the masterminds behind these inventions. 1. A pair of ceiling fan charms with some big "why didn't I think of that?" 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? you're in the dark.) They're much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor." — LHD Get them from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two lengths and gfive styles). 2. Some bedsheet tags if you're tired of playing guessing games when it's time to change 'em. You'll instantly know which set of sheets are for which bed, and where each corner goes. Like I said, genius. Bed Corner Labels is a woman-owned small business based in Hermosa Beach, California. These labels can be left on sheets while they're in the washer and dryer. They can also be detached and reattached a limited number of times. Promising review: "They're easy to attach to sheets and look better than the safety pin I was using to designate the long side of my king-sized sheets." — ESimms5555 Get a set of four labels from Bed Corner Labels on Etsy for $13.75+ (available in larger sets and eight styles). 3. A clever coffee pod tray so you have some hidden storage that also frees up valuable kitchen space. Obviously you can't give up your coffee pods, but you can find a better way to store them. Promising review: "This space saver K-cup is wonderful! It is attractive and keeps my counter clutter-free. It is lightweight but very sturdy. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to gain valuable counter space." — christine h Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 4. An RFID-blocking travel wallet with seemingly endless compartments for everything you could possibly need, like cash, credit cards, passports, boarding passes, and more! There's even a designated pouch for your cell phone. You'll be much *more* organized when you head out on your next journey — even if it's just down the road to a coffee shop. Promising review:"I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn't bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen (¥), which are larger. I didn't use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" — Anthony Luu Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 24 colors). 5. A "Cup Claw" to quickly grab the twisted-up pads and cups in your bras so you can put them back into place with ease — or get rid of 'em entirely. No more trying to shrink your fingers to fit into that microscopic hole OR trying to use tweezers that could damage your bra. Cup Claw is a US-based, family-owned small business specializing in fashion tools. Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration, trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective, and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place, I highly recommend this." — Wesley I. Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 6. A ~brilliant~ neck reading light bookworms will praise until the end of time for its sheer wisdom. You'll be able to read in the dark without straining your eyeballs or committing to a disturbingly bright overhead light. Promising review:"I don't have the best lighting in this house or the best eyes, and that makes for a hard time cross-stitching. These are absolutely wonderful! I can see my patterns and do my cross-stitching which is so great during this quarantine. Be sure to charge every night after use though. And they are so lightweight I forget I'm wearing them! Highly recommended!" — Nini Get it from Amazon for $17.58+ (available in seven colors). 7. Glisten disposer cleaner, which will put an end to all the mysterious gunk lurking down there *without* any elbow-deep dirty work. And the blue foam is pretty fun to watch, so this may just become one of your fave cleaning tasks. Promising review:"This product is amazing. Every time I ran the dishwasher there was this horrible smell. So much that you could smell it throughout the apartment. I even started just hand-washing my dishes. But after about a week, the smell came back. I bought so many products to try and eliminate the smell, but after a couple of days, it would come back. Then I saw this product on BuzzFeed and thought to myself, why not? The first time I used it cleaned it out pretty well. Better than the other products. But then I used it a second time, and there was no smell. I'm going on two weeks of using my dishwasher, and I can't smell anything. I highly recommend this if you're having the same problem I was. This is by far the best kitchen cleaning product I've ever purchased." — Khrystyne Torres Get a pack for four uses from Amazon for $3.78 (also available in larger packs). 8. Detergent cup holders that'll make you whisper "Where have you been all my life?" when you do laundry. Gone are the days of wiping up soapy puddles that dripped onto the floor. Promising review:"I love these. I wish I knew about them sooner! I was always keeping towels under my laundry soap for when the soap would drip. But now I don't need to. Must buy." — Amanda A. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.94. 9. A "cat dancer" toy because sometimes cheap thrills are a ~purrfect~ solution for hyperactive kitties! Wave this toy around and watch 'em dance the night away — it'll be their newest obsession (and maybe yours too). Promising review:"Super simple, ridiculously simple cat toy, that is a MUST-have for kitties who like to chase and bat at moving toys. I have the fishing rod style toy which they like, but it was the introduction of the Cat Dancer that really lights them up. I don't know exactly what it is, but they flipping LOVE the look and movement of this toy. It just has a super appealing movement that drives them [wild]. They just sit and stare at other toys, but this? WHOA!" — Precise Disarray Get it from Amazon for $3.99. 10. A jewelry-cleaning pen when your accessories have become dreadfully dull and you want 'em to ~shine bright like a diamond~ once again. I bet you'll soon be writing a love letter to the brainiac who invented it! This cleaning pen has soft bristles for gentle cleaning, and is filled with a cleansing and polishing solution that removes dirt and oil, and fills in scratches, making jewelry as good as new! All you need to do is twist the bottom of the pen and start brushin'. Promising review:"Ooh la la! A must-have! Great product! I'll be keeping this little baby in my purse! After cleaning the ring, I walked outside in the sun and it was gorgeous!!!!! I like how it gets between the tiny diamonds and underneath/between the setting to really clean well. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a sparkly diamond!" — AJK Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in multipacks). 11. A nifty car seat buckle release tool — your innocent nails have suffered enough at the hand of your kid's buckle. This Shark Tank invention helps you unbuckle *without* any causalities. It's also great for people with arthritis, carpal tunnel, and other conditions that cause limited hand strength. Amazon UnbuckleMe is a woman-owned small business run by Becca Davison and her mother Barbara Heilman, an occupational therapist and grandmother of four. Watch a TikTok of a mom explain why this tool has been a game changer. Promising review:" OUTSTANDING! I am a young grandmother in my 50s and TIRED of breaking my nails on the car seat fasteners. Both my granddaughter and I LOVE this gadget. She keeps it tucked inside the pocket of her car seat. I never have to look for it. When we make it to our destination, I ask her to get it ready. In SECONDS the car seat is unbuckled. What a godsend! Truly, if we had been in an accident or other emergency, it would have taken me several attempts to free my granddaughter. I consider this a danger! This little device makes car seats enjoyable again. The color makes it easy to find and it fits logically right where it's supposed need to carry instructions. I cannot say enough about this product and would recommend it to everyone." — Winnie Get it from Amazon for $12.74 (available in seven colors). 12. Revlon's One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer brush if your goal is to style and dry your hair at the same time. You'll speed up your routine while giving your hair an unbelievable amount of shine and volume! It uses special vents to help hair dry faster with less heat damage. Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a – 4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time! Promising reviews:"Oh. My. Gosh. Let me start off by saying I HATE doing my hair. It's long, straight, and really fine so I just let it air dry and call it a day but that leaves it flat, frizzy, and a little wavy in the back. Well I got this puppy in the mail today so immediately jumped in the shower so I could use my new drying brush and this thing is literally magic! It dried it so silky smooth and gave me so much volume. I used it on the low setting first then high and was blown away. I will forever be drying my hair this way. I feel like a hair model LOL. So basically ... just buy the thing. You won't regret it!" — Chloe512 "I love this, I wish I would have bought it sooner. Best purchase ever and most definitely would buy again. I absolutely love how it leaves my hair, soft and shiny. I don't even need to straighten my hair because I have curly hair care. This helps me get ready in half the time that I would have to brush it. Blow dry it and flat iron this works." — Miriam Ramos Get it from Amazon for $33.49 (available in four colors/styles). 13. A quick *and* efficient Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker for whipping up a healthy, tasty treat in no time. Add your frozen ingredients of choice and you'll have dreamy, delish soft serve in minutes. Bonus: The removable parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe and the base can easily be wiped down when you're done! Promising review:"I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally, this was the BEST decision of my life. I still cannot believe how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It's easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." — DMCKAY Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in six colors). 14. A TikTok-famous adjustable mug organizer set to 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). 15. A bug bite suction tool because what's worse than getting bitten the moment you step outside to enjoy some fresh air? This tool sucks the venom or insect saliva out to help reduce itching, redness, and swelling. Hats off to the mastermind who invented this! It works on mosquito bites, wasp/bee stings, and more. Promising review:"I bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and have been having issues with mosquito bites. Used it a few times to relieve itchiness and I am convinced it works! Have been recommending it to my family and friends. Read the directions and follow them carefully. Don't use this on your face or neck, or other sensitive areas. Don't do a lot of suction, just a little bit. And do it a few times if needed. Great invention!" — Joe Get it from Amazon for $6.96+ (available in three colors and in multipacks). 16. Crayola Globbles if getting your kid to sit down for an activity is not in the cards. They (or you!) will have a ~ball~ squishing, stretching, and slinging these around. Don't worry, reviewers say they don't leave behind a sticky residue. Promising review:" I waited over two months to write my review! My 4-year-old daughter plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair. HOWEVER, they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room, which was pretty entertaining! None of them have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" — Heather Hambrick Get a six-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (also available in packs of 16). 17. A ceiling fan carbon filter so the blades can trap dust, pollen, and dander while they spin. Stick it right to the fan blade and forget about it until it's time for a replacement! I bet you'll prefer this over cleaning the blades every few months only to inhale a mouthful of dust. Simply peel it off when it's time for a replacement! Each one lasts about 1 to 3 months after installation depending on your home's allergens. Promising reviews: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days, the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez "We have these on every ceiling fan in our house and have noticed such a difference since installing them!

Super easy to install!" — Hannah McClam Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99. 18. A pair of prism spectacles — those days of trying to read while lying down leading to a sore neck are officially over! They're also great for playing games, watching TV, and other activities that basically require you to be horizontal. Promising review:"I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." — Michael Boyd Get them from Amazon for $12.99. 19.

Roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment into the trash. It has over 140,00 5-star ratings for a reason, folks. Promising reviews: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in two colors/styles and in a mini size). 20.

This magical machine can cool down your coffee (or tea, or wine!) in a whopping 60 seconds without watering it down. Promising review:"Got this for my boyfriend who hates hot coffee but makes his coffee with the Keurig. This little thing fits right on the freezer door, cleans really easily, and cools down whatever you put into it so quickly. We have even used it to cool down wine and other spirits that aren't carbonated. It beats adding ice to a drink you don't want to water down!" — J_Thill Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 21. A long-handled standing weeder because bending over to pull pesky weeds should be illegal. Your yard will look absolutely ~flawless~ after using this tool and you'll be totally pain free.

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon making tools for gardening. Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it from Amazon for $36.97. 22. Anti-slip glasses holders — let's be honest, you spend an ungodly amount of time pushing your glasses back up your for them to fall back down again. These are made of silicone and will help secure your glasses without squeezing your skull until it nearly pops. Amazon Promising review:"I love this product. I had grown weary with my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." — Danyelle Brazell Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $9.99 (available in black or a multicolor pack). 23.

I like listening to music/podcasts in the shower, but we don't have much room for a speaker/Echo Dot on our counter space in the bathroom. This product solved this issue. It's very sturdy and easy to install. Highly recommend!" — Jude Chauvin Get it from Amazon for $11.89+ (also available in black and in packs of two). 24.

I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I've only had to charge it once since I purchased it. Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." — Cassandra S. Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in eight colors and in packs of two). 27.

You can even attach it to chairs, couches, and anywhere else that needs a bit of extra storage. Promising review:"I had a nicer-looking, more expensive version of this in my cart originally. This was one-third of that price and I'm so glad I went with this one. It's got a sturdy backing on both pieces (piece with pockets and a piece that goes between mattresses), one large pocket closest to the bed, and three decent-sized mesh pockets. I have it between my mattress and box spring." — Danielle Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in three colors/styles). 28. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller to make excess oil instantly ✨vanish✨ with a few swipes.

I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it.

Uncommon Goods Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." — Jake the ChefturnedDaddy Get it from UncommonGoods for $25+ (available in two styles). 34.

I often like to leave my styling wand on for last-minute touch ups before leaving early in the morning but, in haste, I often get on the freeway and worry that I forgot to unplug it.
