A set of legging organizing hangers for anyone who owns approximately [number redacted] pairs that are currently tangled in a dresser drawer like a giant athleisure nest. This will not only free up space, but give you easy access so you're not rooting through them for the One Pair That Makes Your Butt Look Good. Each hanger holds 10 pairs of leggings. Promising review:"Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room!

Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in five styles). 3. A set of universal reusable K-cup pods so not only will you cut down on environmental waste, but you can get reeeeal picky about exactly what blends you're brewing into your beloved cuppa every morning. We are all officially getting too old not to have Annoyingly Specific Coffee Preferences, and this is here to help us on that journey. Pure HQ is a small business that specializes in kitchen products. Promising review: "Works great for my Keurig. I feel better not throwing away all those pods! Love the pod measuring scoop! The pods work great and are easy to use and clean. I just open the pod top and tap the bottom of the pod over the garbage to empty. Great value for money." — Kindle Customer Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.95 (also available with a scoop). 4. A "Lifty Loo" toilet seat handle to keep things germ-free when you're lifting the toilet seat up and down — even your toilet seat deserves to accessorize!! And these come with an adhesive that make them super easy to install. Lifty Loo is a small business that specializes in toilet lifting tabs that are made with recycled ocean plastic. Promising review: "Works perfect for what I need it for. I just figured out where it would work best on my toilet, then I adhered it. It doesn't get in the way and my younger boys are able to pick the seat up without touching the seat." — SK Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.97. 5. An easily installed, stick-on fogless shower mirror so you can shave right in the shower and save yourself some time. Reviewers also love to install this outside their showers to do beauty and skincare routines easily if the Big Mirror is full of fog from a long shower! ToiletTree is a small business that specializes in bathroom products for home use. To keep it fogless, add hot water to the reservoir behind the mirror before you shower. This comes with a squeegee and a little shelf, and even rotates so you can get your best angle! Promising review:"I have tried multiple 'fogless' mirrors, but they all fail to live up to their claim. This one really works. Whomever came up with putting hot water in the back gets a thumbs up from me! You won't be disappointed with this mirror." — Veronica Greene Get it from Amazon for $37.95. 6. A snap-on pasta strainer to free your pasta from its hot juices straight from the pot, and spare you storage space to boot (is it just me or are colanders always in the business of being exactly in the way of whatever it is you need?). Psst — these are also a game-changer for washing your fruit, too! Amazon Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories. Promising review:"I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." — Viola Evens Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in seven colors). 7. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, include soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 8. A set of magnetic fridge spice organizers to magically create storage space out of ~thin air~, and keep all your favorite spices and seasonings in convenient eye-level reach. Promising review: "These work well and solve the problem of having to dig into a cabinet to find spices. These shelves are better than mounting a spice rack as the shelves have strong magnets that easily stick to a the side of a metal appliance as shown in the product description." — Michael Get a two-pack from Amazon for $21.99 (available in nine colors and in larger packs). 9. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper that'll get you uniform, oh-so-satisfyingly cut veggies — this gadget juliennes, chops, spiralizes, and slices vegetables in an instant and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess. Amazon Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.87+ (available in six styles and in four colors). 10. A set of two traceless adhesive shelves for your bathroom or kitchen that *don't* require any drilling or complicated installation other than sticking it straight to the wall. A chic and easy home fix?? Ugh, we lazy folks love to see it. Promising review:"I saw this on TikTok and had to try it. I love it. I have one in the shower and the other on the bathroom wall holding all the stuff normally on the sink. 10/10 recommend." — Sonia Get it from Amazon for $30.49+ (available in four colors). 11. A can colander to easily drain the juices from your canned goods. (No offense to whatever it is our beloved chickpeas are swimming in!!) Amazon Promising review:"For years, I've been saying somebody needs to invent something to easily drain tuna. Finally, it's here. Drains in 1-2-3. Quick, easy, and no mess. No longer do you have to deal with being sprayed or getting your hands messy. I only wish I had been smart enough to invent it myself. Who knew such a simple item would save so much time and less mess in the kitchen." — Lisa Get it from Amazon for $5.59. 12. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser that keeps sandwich bread fresh by ensuring it stays *way* more airtight than it does in just the bag alone, and also lets you use the bread bag in a clever way to dispense slices one by one. Tons of reviewers are noting how much longer their bread stays fresh (and how much easier it is to store without worrying about it getting smushed!). Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action. Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes in unique household products. Promising review:"The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" — DRMcQuaig Get it from Amazon for $13.59. 13. A stainless-steel sandwich cutter and sealer for anyone with Uncrustables tastes and a mortal human budget. Now you can make your own at home in batches and freeze them — and better yet, customize them so they're stuffed with your favorite brands of peanut butter and jelly or meats and cheeses. It's an Uncrustable, but make it cheap and bougie. You can also freeze the leftover crusts to make bread pudding, French toast sticks, bread crumbs, and stuffing! Or just go to clown town and eat them right then. 😋 Promising review:"What a game changer for saving money compared to buying the Uncrustables in the store. They are ridiculously overpriced, and with this thing, you can make them at a fraction of the cost. It's really simple to use and works really well. Also, it's very easy to clean, although I would keep it out of the dishwasher to avoid rust. This thing crimps the edges of the bread really well, so there is no spillage or leakage. It works just as well with Nutella as it does with deli meats and cheeses. There's a little learning curve as far as where to put your ingredients, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy." — Josh Fowler Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 14. A clever silicone " Broombi," designed to flex harder than most of us have in a calendar year — it's an all-surface broom, squeegee, *and* pet hair remover, making it your one-stop shop for all your "fix this grimy floor IMMEDIATELY" needs. Promising review:"Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilt messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable, stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" — Sandra Moyer Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors). 15. A pack of five refillable touch up paint pens you'll be especially glad to have for those high traffic areas in your home, where things get bumped and chipped and knocked about. Now you can fix up doors and cabinets in a quick minute instead of dealing with a whole can of paint. Slobproof is a small business that specializes in paint touch-up pens. Promising review:"I keep these in my kitchen drawer and it's SO convenient for my painted cabinets! I LOVE the way they look, but inevitably (even though I sanded and prepped), I'll get little chips in the paint. These touch-up pens stay in my junk drawer, which is full of paint at all times. T he cap makes it so it never dries out and stays super clean. But I'm able to grab them any time and just touch things up so my cabinets ALWAYS look fresh." — Claire Flores Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 16. A ceiling fan carbon filter that's about to be any allergy-prone human's hero — you can hide it on top of a ceiling fan blade, where it will secretly pick up dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens and improve the air quality of the room. Take THAT, pesky particles. Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.79. 17. A set of Wad-Free pads to ensure that your sheets stay separate from each other in the dryer and come out fresh, dry, and unwrinkled instead of looking like they got into a wet cotton brawl. Amazon Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads. Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It's a little on the expensive side IMO, and that's kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." — StrangerThings Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99. 18. A "Slice'n Store" butter dish that will stop you from dirtying a bunch of butter knives and leaving them on the counter. All you do is pop this out of the fridge, slice of a lil' (or large) slab with the built-in blade, and be on your merry, buttery way. Promising review: "Great addition to my kitchen essentials. Its durability is impressive, and it is straightforward to use. What makes it a keeper is how easy it is to clean. The quality is top-notch, and it's definitely worth the price. It stores butter well and fits perfectly in my fridge. Plus, the color adds a nice touch to my kitchen decor. Overall, it's a fantastic kitchen gadget." — Tiffany Mueller Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 19. A set of ingenious double shower curtain hooks to make putting on the shower curtain and the liner so! darn! easy!! that you'll never go back to those silly rings that pop off annoy the heck out of you again. Amazon Promising review: "I hate changing out the liner on my shower because it meant I had to remove the curtain too. Not any more! I saw this set of hooks in a TikTok review. Now I can swap out the liner with ease. The hooks also slide on the curtain rod very easily, no tugging." — Christina Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $6.99 (available in 18 colors). 20. A magnetic microwave cover perfect for anyone whose Panera soup obsession is a little *too* well documented over every surface inside of their microwave. This conveniently sticks to the top of your microwave so you can pop it right off whenever you're looking to tear up some broccoli cheddar on a wild Tuesday night. Hover Cover is a small business that specializes in microwave covers for home kitchen use. Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action. Promising review:"If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times, it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself, but it will change your life." — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (also available in two-packs). 21. And a microwave cooling caddy that doesn't get hot so you can pop your grub out of the microwave without waiting for it to cool down or grabbing oven mitts. Especially important when several humans need the microwave and you can't be lingering there waiting for your soup bowl to be grab-able. Amazon Handy Gourmet is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "Who would have guessed how much easier this product makes getting hot items out of the microwave? This makes the retrieval much safer for me. I have hand problems and gripping this tool makes the removal steadier and safer without getting burns. I recommend!" — Envy's Opinion Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in three colors). 22. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer, aka the answer to any money-conscious coffee lover's prayers — this version is not only cheaper and more portable than comparable models on the market, but WAY faster making cold brew without compromising on flavor. I'm talking five minutes as opposed to overnight, like other pitchers take — and it doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯 Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick Get it from Amazon for $34.79. 23.

Promising review: "I've been using this product now for several months. I'm honestly surprised by how something so simple can be so helpful and save me money. Just by tilting my laundry detergent jug on this, I'm able to get every last drop of detergent out of it, which prevents wasting detergent and saves me money. I've never had issues with clogging, and it holds a standard-size bottle or an oversized jug. It also helps to keep my laundry closet looking clean and organized. Good buy!" — Jenn Madonna Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sets of two and three and in 10 colors). 24. An under-cabinet lid opener for anyone who doesn't feel like playing another rousing game of "knock on the neighbor's door to see if someone can open this damn Nutella jar" (don't look at me!!). This is also an excellent space saver compared to other manual lid openers, and causes way less wrist strain! Check out BuzzFeed's overview of the EZ Off Jar Opener. Promising review:"I saw this item on TikTok. Yeap. I am so glad I got it! I have trouble opening jars and bottles and this has been awesome. It works great. I followed the suggestion from other reviewers and installed it under the cabinet with the bottom of the 'V' facing away from the wall. You will have to twist the bottle counterclockwise. This method works well. I haven't had to use the little screws. I definitely recommend this item! It is wayyyyy better than the silicone grips." — Mariposista Queen Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 25. A jar of all-in-one decor paint, a chalk-style paint with a built-in primer designed to easily glide on furniture, upholstery, and any wood, metal, and glass surfaces.

Promising review: " I've bought a total of four of these things. I went on a kick of painting all of my generic black/dark brown Ikea furniture. I used this on both the shiny/smooth furniture and wood furniture, and it worked well on both of them. It definitely worked better on the wood furniture, though. The paint was unexpectedly very easy to use and the color came out a LOT prettier than expected! It was easy to clean off my hands and brushes and the paint came right off my clothes in the wash as well. Overall, I'm very very pleased with this paint and will purchase more if I need any crafty paint in the future." — Anna Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 55 colors). 26.

Ramos Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors and in multipacks). 28.

A cheerful fruit bowl for a pop of deeply functional color in your kitchen — this thing is secretly also a colander, so you can wash your fruit and leave 'em sitting pretty on the counter to dry. Amazon Promising review: "I LOVE the look of this fruit bowl. I also love that its pedestal minimizes the space it takes up on the counter. I wasn't sure about whether I would like that it is plastic but now consider it a big plus. It keeps the bowl lightweight (but it is still sturdy) and makes it easy to clean. I highly recommend this fruit bowl. I couldn't be more pleased with mine." — Opinion o'Jen Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in four colors). 31.

Promising review: "I found these detachable pots and pans on a YouTube video. They are such a space saver for small kitchen. They can stack on top of each other, which only takes up a small corner of the cabinet. The spot protectors are so useful and neat that you won't scratch the pots. They are very easy to clean. Great quality that I've recommended to several friends." — Yuli Aoki Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 34. A handy brownie dividing pan so you can flex during the next cozy movie night by presenting your friends with perfectly crisp-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside brownies all in uniform sizes and shapes. Those chumps with ordinary pans could NEVER. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Um, I'm obsessed with this pan. I make those gooey three-layer brownies that are cookie dough on the bottom, Oreos in the middle, and either brownie or Nutella on top, and I famously underbake them because salmonella doesn't apply to me. Which is to say, usually when I make these it's a big gooey mess and my friends have to dig in with a spoon and it's less inviting for guests to take one. With this tray it was SO easy to put the batter in, stick the divider on top, and bake individual small bars. it was completely nonstick, and it was easy to pull the divider out once everything was cooked. The uniform brownies were a huge hit at a party! Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 35.

Promising review: "I have a couple of pairs of sneakers I stopped wearing because they started looking a bit grungy.

I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome." — Spencer Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $11.98. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Promising review:"I was able to pack seven outfits and have way more space in this organizer. I just packed the clothes in the organizer, closed it up, and placed it in my carry on. Once I got to the hotel, I just hung it in my closet. It would be perfect for cruises since their is never any drawer space and very little room to move around." — jess Get it from Amazon for $27.89+ (available in eight colors and several sets). 8.

I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." — Kerry Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 10. A purse organizer insert for anyone who is committed to the ~tote bag~ lifestyle, but doesn't love digging through them like a feral raccoon. Another perk?

Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that). Promising review: "Lightweight but sturdy, never collapsed in the bag. Perfectly fit in my tote. Red color makes it a lot easier to find my stuff.

For the first week we owned it, my boyfriend and I both commented daily on what a smart design it is, how much room it freed up in our drawer, and how we wished we knew about it sooner. If you — like me — are at that stage in your late 20s where practical, problem-solving products put a ridiculously wide smile on your face, I'm sure you'll love it." Promising review: "New way to organize your silverware that has a sleek design. TikTok made me buy this! It's a perfect design to not have as much clutter in your drawer.

The little slots to push in pills is fantastic and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one days worth of pills, set it on my counter and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" — Chicken McNugget Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four colors). 14.

It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTokAlice Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two-pack). 13. And!

I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and a refill tub). 14.

I wish I had this in my son's toddler years in his mac phase." — C. Long Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 15.

It also couldn't be easier to use: just spray it on and let it break down those odors while leaving behind a delicious citrusy scent. Promising review:"This product is a miracle worker. My toddler had been having accidents on the sofa. I had been scrubbing tirelessly almost every week to get the urine smell out. I tried the baking soda, water, etc., but nothing worked! I was self-conscious about family visiting. Until I came across this product. When I tell you the URINE SMELL IS GONE, it's gone! This product is a must-have. Buy now." — Amazonian Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and multipacks). 16.

It also lives up to the "instant" in its name: simply spray the stain, agitate for a few seconds, then wipe away. Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action! Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobnty Get it from Amazon for $6.33+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs). 17. John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam for anyone who wants to define their curls without spending a ton of extra time. Just scrunch this through wet hair and then air-dry your way to perfectly wavy strands. Reviewers with straighter hair types say the foam helps add voluminous waves to their hair, while those with thicker, wavier hair types say this helps add a bit more definition and shine. Promising review: " I've tried many products out there to tame and hold my natural waves (learning to "embrace your natural locks"), and they've always let me down by either leaving me with poofy hair, stiff hair, or sticky hair. This product holds and defines natural waves without any of that. And I love that you use it to let your hair air dry as I hate blow drying - that was a big selling point! I've tried both by applying just this product on wet hair as well as first applying a smoothing serum followed by this product, and while the outcome was a little better with the two steps, using just alone gave great results as well. Definitely making this my go-to from now on!" — Gus Get it from Amazon for $9.39. 18. A 3-in-1 gap cleaning brush — it'll clean all the nooks, crannies, and crevices on your water bottle that you didn't even know were there. Use the U-shaped silicone brush to quickly scrub around the lip of the cup, then flip over to the bristle brush to clean the lid (or pop up the hook brush to really get into those tough-to-reach grooves). Promising review: "I have a number of Yeti and other lidded mugs, cups, and glasses I use at the office and clean out in the communal break room sink. I could see a buildup that I just couldn't get to in the lids, and it was grossing me out! This little tool does the trick! It gets in between the rubber ridges in the rings, all around the lip of the cups and lids, and cleans everything from milk residue to lipstick smudges. I have been using it five days a week for several weeks now, and no signs of wear on the tool. Cleans up great, dries well, does the job." — Alfie Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in six colors and multipacks). 19. A pair of handheld scrapers that will make your cast iron pans look as good as the day you bought them. It's gentle enough to use on nonstick surfaces, and unlike a sponge, this won't trap a bunch of food particles that are hard to rinse out. Now you can spend less time cleaning and more time whipping up culinary masterpieces. Promising review:"Necessary tool to clean your cast iron pots and pans. Perfectly contoured to the rounded corners used by Lodge in their pans so you'll get any food stuck to your pan off easily. The plastic is sturdy and malleable but not so much that it will deform. Been using them for a couple months now, and I haven't had them break. And since I still can't get a properly seasoned coating on my pans, I have a lot of food that sticks (my fault), but these scrapers get pretty much everything off easily." — JGtz Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.96. 20. A Hanalei overnight lip treatment packed with Hawaiian kukui nut oil, agave, and grapeseed oils to hydrate and smooth away the dead skin that makes your lips look extra crusty. It's a must-have for anyone whose lips stay chapped during the winter months. Plus, imagine how smoothly your fave lipstick will apply after using this! Promising review: "This product is so nourishing and works wonders when your lips are super dry or chapped. My lips get extremely dry and cracked even when I use ChapStick several times a day. It is thicker than a ChapStick but not heavy to the point of discomfort. It sits on your lips longer and has more time to soak in. It feels amazing on your lips. It's also a cute thing to wear on its own if you don't feel like wearing lipstick. It's also nice to have different shade options, even though the clear one is my favorite. I also love that the scent is very minimal. It has a VERY slight vanilla smell that you barely notice once applied. I have repurchased this product several times and will continue to do so!!" — Julia Hanalei is a small business! Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two sizes and five colors). 21. A bottle of earwax removal drops that use fizzy microfoam action to break down all the stubborn wax that was clogging up your ears for all of 2024. Just apply five to 10 drops to your ear, keep your head tilted for several minutes to let the carbamide peroxide loosen your hardened ear wax, then flush away any remaining wax with warm water in a bulb or syringe. However, It's always a good idea to chat with your ENT before using any ear-cleaning products! Promising review:"I started applying the drops twice daily with a warm water bulb flush once a day. On the first day, only a little bit of wax came out, but the ear wax buildup was dissolving. The second day, after I applied the drops, my right ear was muffled the entire day, but when I did the ear bulb flush, a ton of wax came out, and my hearing was restored. I continued the treatment for both ears, and by the third day, my left ear was cleared of most of the ear wax as well. By the fourth day, all of the built-up ear wax was cleared out, and my ears were no longer itchy or muffled. These drops are amazing and worked way better than I expected as I thought it'd help get rid of some wax, but that I would need to go to the doctor to get the rest out. Trust the process and continue using the solution for the recommended four days; it works!" — RnG Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a pack of two). 22. A jar of all-in-one decor paint you can use on everything from kitchen cabinets to furniture upholstery. If there's a surface in your home that needs painting, this has got you covered. It dries in about 30 minutes and leaves behind a chalky matte finish that's the definition of country-chic. Promising review: " I've bought a total of four of these things. I went on a kick of painting all of my generic black/dark brown Ikea furniture. I used this on both the shiny/smooth furniture and wood furniture, and it worked well on both of them. It definitely worked better on the wood furniture, though. The paint was unexpectedly very easy to use and the color came out a LOT prettier than expected! It was easy to clean off my hands and brushes and the paint came right off my clothes in the wash as well. Overall, I'm very very pleased with this paint and will purchase more if I need any crafty paint in the future." — Anna Country Chic Paint is a family-owned small business that specializes in all-in-one paint. Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 55 colors). 23.

Who knew snails had the secret to glassy, glowy skin this whole time?! New to essences? Try applying this after cleansing but before your moisturizer. Applying it to clean skin and under you moisturizer will help lock in all that snail mucin goodness! Promising review:"Who knew snail slime was a thing? So, months ago, I was at the dermatologist getting microneedling on my forehead for a spot that lost collagen. My menopausal self had been in a two-year whirlwind of on/off breakouts thanks to hormones acting a fool. She suggested retinol, but my skin screamed louder [with every] one I tried, no matter how easy-going I went. Then, she gave me a sample of snail mucin and said 'try this.' Never have I ever had better skin. It's the perfect thickness, like a serum really, super moisturizing, and the appearance of old spots, scars, tone, and texture is dramatically improved. Months later, not a single breakout. Keeping it simple with a cleanser, snail goop, moisturizer during the day, and barrier cream at night. This stuff is perfect for uber-sensitive skin." — Mocha Bear Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 24.

The kit includes three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), a carry bag, a filter brush, and a spare HEPA filter. Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 25. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder that's so easy to use you'll wonder how you ever dealt with those messy spray cans.

I am so very happy!" — Katie_0_Baker Get it from Amazon for $12.59 (available in brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles). 26. And a root touchup powder so you can stretch the time between salon appointments.

Although, gray hair is honestly pretty fierce, so feel free to let those silvery strands shine! Check it out in action on TikTok here! Promising reviews: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." — Amazon Customer "LOVE! so easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly ." — Catie B. Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes and 14 colors). 27.

Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried multiple spray cleaners and techniques but couldn't get the smell out. I was convinced I'd need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I'd have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I'm excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (also available in a Pet Deluxe verion and a cordless version). 28. An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil that's specifically designed to help regulate your sebum production and break down blackheads, making it a great option for all my fellow oily-skinned peeps. It also helps break down makeup, so you can finally stop wasting money on makeup-removing wipes! This is best used as part of a double cleansing routine, so be sure to follow it up with a water-based facial cleanser, like Anua's water-based gentle foaming cleanser. Promising review:"My skin is *super* sensitive, but as I've aged (44 years), I feel like my pores have become more visible. I hadn't used an oil cleanser before and wasn't 100% sure how it should all work. The Anua oil cleanser works how we all once hoped Biore pore strips would work back in the day but without any pain or irritation. My skin is combination skin, so I have to be really careful about not drying out the dry spots (and getting eczema) and not over-hydrating the oily spots (and getting a breakout). I rub the oil on my face as the first part of my cleansing routine; I massage it in for ~60 seconds and then put a small amount of water on my fingers and begin rubbing that on my face. The water starts the emulsification process and helps to clean out everything the oil has bonded to/mixed with. Then, I just rinse it clean and use a gentle cleanser afterward. I haven't had any irritation, redness, or fallout from adding this product to my skincare routine. I love it. I am almost through my first bottle and if I go a few days without using the cleanser, my pores become more visible/dirty again. I will definitely keep purchasing the Anua oil cleanser." — Tassa Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 29. And their 10% niacinamide serum — it'll help even your skin tone thanks to the blend of 4% tranexamic acid and 2% arbutin. Your skin will be left with a plump and dewy glow — and will also be grateful for the fragrance-free and non-sticky formula. It's fragrance-free and cruelty-free! Promising review: "Honestly just tried this due to high demand and to find a cheaper niacinamide serum. I have been using Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops but it didn't work as effectively as this. I was incredibly surprised by how this serum calms my skin, and my dark spots have been lightening and are almost gone. I also haven't broken out. I use this twice a day, and it works well under makeup. It'll give you glowy skin if you're one of those who loves dewy look. I am currently using this together with Anua cleansing foam and it's incredible! Definitely subscribing to this as my regular serum!" — Reynalyn Canillo Get it from Amazon for $22. 30. A hairbrush cleaning tool because, as Xzibit might say, I heard you like brushes, so here's a brush to clean your brush. Yes, you should be giving your hairbrush a routine cleaning to remove hair, built-up oils, and grime — and this cleaning device makes it so easy to get into all the nooks and crannies. The reviewer above got such amazing results by using this tool along with soaking their brush in a Dawn-and-diluted-vinegar solution! Promising review:"When I bought this, I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why; it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off, and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." — HeartsofHavoc Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 31. A satin-finish TirTir cushion foundation 9,000+ reviewers love for getting full coverage without the heavy, cakey feeling. It's designed to provide a radiant finish (hello, glass skin!), and reviewers say it pulls through on its long-lasting claims (up to 72 hours!). Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned t here are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at al l. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer, so if you're older, that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go-to foundation from now on." — AJ Bond Get it from Amazon for $17..50+ (available in 40 shades, a matte finish, a dewy finish, and sample kits to find your best shade match). 32. A tub of the TikTok-famous The Pink Stuff cleaning paste — which will take your sink, furniture, and tiles from grimy to shiny with the help of a little elbow grease. This will tackle any mess that pops up over the next 12 months. This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in a bundle with a scrubber sponge). 33. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body — but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away! Promising review:"So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I'm usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." — Adrienne Jerkins Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in various pack sizes and bundles). 34. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in — just activate with water!) that makes scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds! Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $11.98. 35. A gross but oh-so-satisfying Baby Foot exfoliating foot mask to remove all the dead skin that's lurking on your feet. Simply slip the booties on and let the fruit acid and 17 types of natural extracts get to work for an hour while you kick back. Then the fun part begins: your dead skin will start to peel off within five to seven days, revealing super smooth feet that'll have you counting down the days 'til sandal season. @babyfootusa / Via Promising review:"My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago, and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn't burn or irritate my skin. A few days later, the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It's REALLY gross-looking, so make sure you don't need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing, so it's totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I've recommended to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." — Mostly Maven Get it from Amazon for $24.98. 36. A pomade hair wax stick — it'll be a major timesaver on those days when you want to smooth down flyaways, cowlicks, or set baby hairs into place. Just swipe it over any targeted areas you want to smooth and it'll provide some seriously strong hold without any sticky residue. You'll wish you had this back in the day when getting ready for school, but now your hair will finally hold up in windy weather! Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair which I love but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez "I have 4A-4B curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others which to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways however were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say, you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy product. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks). 37. A heat-resistant masher that'll chop ground meat into tinier pieces, therefore greatly reducing your cooking time in the process. It's also perfect for crushing tomatoes, potatoes, and any other 'atoes that need mincing. Promising review: "I wish I would have bought this so much sooner! I feel like every cook needs this in their kitchen. This is so helpful, especially when trying to break up other meats than beef — nothing breaks down the same way beef does and tends to stay in big chunks. This handles everything like a dream! Excellent purchase! Very well made — not flimsy at all. Super high quality!" — TAV Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and in packs of two). 38. A sleek automatic electric wine bottle opener because your day was stressful enough — you don't need a clunky corkscrew ruining your night! All you have to do is press it down over the top of the bottle, and there's even a built-in foil cutter so you won't ruin your nails in the process. Oh, and did I mention it's rechargeable and totally wireless?? Amazon, Promising review: "This wine opener is VERY easy to use and works like a champ each and every time. The foil cutter takes a bit of getting used to where the technique is to pull the blades back toward you as you spin the bottle. The cork opener is just dead simple. The motor activates automatically as you lower the device on to the bottle. The cork is then removed mechanically and once it is out, the motor reverses direction and spits out the cork. It's absolutely brilliant." — Steve Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors). 39. A protective spray that creates an invisible coating on surfaces to prevent fingerprints, stains, smudges, soap scum, and more — so it's a must for all my fellow spill-prone people. It's safe for use on almost any hard surface, including granite counters, stainless steel, marble, porcelain, and glass — and the coating lasts for up to 12 months! Amazon, To use: Clean surface beforehand, then spray on surface, buff in with the included microfiber towel and wipe away any residue, then let cure for two hours before using the surface (though it's best to wait up to four hours before getting the surface wet). Btw, since it leaves a slick coating, you should not use it on floors. Promising review:"After having to wipe off fingerprints and smudges on my refrigerator every time I opened it and using every product imaginable, I had little hope in another one. Much to my delight, this was a winner! I applied it two weeks ago and I can honestly say there are no fingerprints whatsoever. It is worth the price for how little I will probably have to use it. My fridge looks brand new. Five stars for me." — deb25 Lifeproof is a small business specializing in home cleaning products. Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (also available in a two-pack). 40. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream, which will basically give you brand-new hands. Its blend of beeswax and glycerin will get your skin back to normal if the brutal winter air has wreaked havoc on your hands over the last few months. For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime. Promising review:"In addition to lifting at the gym, I wash my hands judiciously and frequently between patient care for over 10 years. My hands have gotten more dry as the winters go. Started using it last year. The jar is easy to carry on my way to work, and I apply it during any downtime I have and on my way home. The cream goes on smooth, is not excessively oily, and absorbs and dries pretty fast that it doesn't hinder much busywork." — Perry Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and packs of two or 12). 41. A moisturizing hair serum from Korean hair care brand Mise En Scéne made with SEVEN nourishing oils: argan, coconut, jojoba, marula, olive, camelia, and apricot. They all work together to protect your strands from damage (including up to 446-degree heat protection!) while adding some hydration and shine. Kind of like how the seven members of S Club worked together to provide timeless bops. Promising reviews: "I looooove this so much. The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while, so I love getting whiffs of it through the day. My hair is softer and doesn't seem as frizzy as before. I put it on after washing my hair and then after it's dry. I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I'll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value too; I've been using it pretty consistently since purchasing and I've barely made a dent in it. Love it!" — Noley "Coming from someone with very coarse 4c hair.. this product is heaven-sent. Extremely satisfied. Sticking to this product and this product only from now on, lol." — Danielle Get it from Amazon for $13.15+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas). 42. An over-the-drain hair catcher that'll collect all your loose strands in a tidy pile that's super easy to clean up. Reviewers say the silicone material helps keep it in place, and the drain holes are just big enough to let water through — meaning you won't be standing in a puddle of water by the end of your shower. Promising review:"I've been very impressed! It's tall enough to fit easily over my pop-up drain, and (even without suction cups) the weighted top keeps it in place. I have medium-length hair and seem to shed almost as much as my cat, but the drain protector catches it all, and the hair is easily removed and tossed away. Best of all, the silicone doesn't hold onto mildew or mold. I have been able to spray and wipe away any grime with very little effort. It looks like this drain protector will last a very long time. This has been a very worthy purchase!" — Suneimi Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 43. A NYX Fat Oil lip gloss to douse your lips in hydrating raspberry seed oil while adding a super glowy shine and a light tint of color. Reviewers say this one combines the lightweight feel of a lip oil with the moisture of a heavier lip balm — and that it gives the way-more-expensive Dior lip oil a run for its money 👀. Promising review:"I really like this and the applicator! It's so fun and cute. I like the texture and the feel of it on my lips. It feels thicker, and it doesn't come off too quickly. I got the color supermodel. It's not too pink like it looks and I wanted it to be natural, so it's perfect. Will be repurchasing." — Martha R. Get it from Amazon for $8.95 (available in 14 shades). 44. An absolutely genius tool that lets you easily spread butter on your pans before cooking or directly on hot foods like corn on the cob or fresh bread. No more ~butter fingers~! The Magnetack/Etsy Promising review:"Absolutely perfect. It holds a whole stick of butter, and the butter stays in place, unlike with some of the other products on the market that are supposed to serve the same purpose." — Michelle The Magnetack is a small Etsy seller based in Miami. Get it from The Magnetack on Etsy for $14.95. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

If You Don't Want To Get Rid Of Any Clothes, Here Are 25 Things To Better Organize Your Closet And Drawers
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. Yeah, you need those four pairs of faux-leather leggings and won't be choosing a favorite, (though we all know the fave). 1. Some legging organizing hangers so you can tell the differences between all your black leggings, like the number of pockets or waist height. It's hard to tell which are the high-waisted ones you prefer for yoga when they're folded up in a drawer! Each hanger holds 10 pairs of leggings. After putting these in several stories, I finally bought a pair and my gosh, just using one legitimately freed up a third of a drawer. But because it came with two hangers, I'm using the other one for my nice scarves! (I use tissue paper in between the clamps and my actual scarves.) Promising review:"Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour Get two from Amazon for $15.99. 2. And some Wonder Hangers that'll *triple* your closet storage space out of seemingly thin air. You've for sure seen 'em on TikTok. Check out how they work on TikTok! And PS: Wonder Hanger is a small biz! Promising review:"I wish I had taken the time to take a before and after pic because I have so much more room in there now than I did before. I found the cutest tops in there that I had completely forgotten about because my clothes were crammed in the closet so tightly. Most of the time, I felt like I had nothing to wear, LOL, and now, I know exactly what I have, and it's even organized by sleeve length and color. I would definitely buy again and actually plan to buy more for my husband and children to use as well." — Mariko Lamb Get 10 from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and packs of 10 or 24). 3. And a similar pair of pants hangers with a nonslip covering on the hangers so you can take a gander at which pair of black jeans you wanna slip into today. 4. A bra/tank organizer in case your drawers are too far gone and you need to be able to find that specific bra that fits under the neckline that specific dress. Amazon Promising review: "Can't believe how AMAZING these are!!! these have helped me save so much space in my closet. If you are thinking of getting these, don't hesitate. They are very very sturdy and I have many items on them and they have not broken or bent. I would give it more stars if it was possible." — Continental traveler Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 5. Or a steel tank top hanger to finally hold your favorite tanks and camis in a way that's more easily searchable than rolled up in your drawers. Reviewers also use this for storing bras. Promising review:"I love the crap out of this thing! I have so many camis that I use as undershirts for work and they were always being folded up and crammed into a drawer, taking up way too much space. After putting away half of my shirts on this two-pack, I knew I needed to buy another pack! It's so easy to take the shirts on and off without messing around with any of the others. This organizer is perfect for my needs in freeing up a drawer and taking up little space in my closet." — Tessa Get a three-pack from Amazon for $15.75. 6. A pants/skirts hanger with clips that'll help you ~waterfall~ six bottom styling actions at once! I have a couple of these in my closet and it's one of the handiest closet organizers I own. I have one for faux-leather pants (yes, I like options) and another for skirts and skorts! Amazon, Promising review: "I love these hangers. I am able to save so much space in my closet! They are sturdy and very well made." — Danielle Hinshaw Get four from Amazon for $25.99. 7. A hanging shoe organizer can do so much more in basically every room of your house. The pockets are the perfect size for cold-weather accessories, tights, wallets, wound-up belts, and all kinds of stuff. I have one of these hanging in my coat closet and I fit all kinds of stuff in it! Promising review: "I love this product. I have one that is similar for jewelry. I use this in my main bathroom for deodorant, shampoo, hair brushes, toothpaste, perfumes, hand towels, rolled up my counter, nice, and clean and clear." — Cynthia McLeod Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four colors). 8. An adjustable closet doubler that does exactly what its name says to help fill that dead space below your hanging tops. No need to fish some hand tools for this, though. It simply hooks onto your existing closet rail. Promising review:"It has doubled my closet space in my apartment where I can't make any damage in terms of adding another permanent shelf — so this has been a perfect solution. It was easy to assemble and is sturdy. I've had it for a couple of weeks now with no issue. Your closet has to be pretty high for this to work or else your shirts above are going to get caught on the hangers below and for my case, some of my shirts are dragging on the floor — just keep this in mind when you're thinking about purchasing." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 9. Hanging vacuum bags that'll help you find even more closet space. (You thought that was impossible!) This is especially great for bulky items you can hang like coats. I for one am REALLY looking forward to that part of spring when I can confidently store my coats. Promising review:"Bought these storage bags to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" — Jia Yan Get a four-pack from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors). 10. Cap holders so you can clear that shelf in your closet dedicated to your baseball hats. Amazon Promising review:"I am a neat freak and purchased this for my husband (I mean myself!) to organize the pile of hats laying around. I love it, as it cleaned up the hat area. He loves it because he can find the hat he needs easily. I hung them up with ease. They work great. I would purchase again for myself or a gift." — Jessica P Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 11. Or a baseball hat organizer will take up *very* little room while helping maintain the shape of your caps. Amazon PS: DomeDock is a small biz! Promising review: "Such an efficient and easy way to store hats. Whoever came up with this is a genius!" — Melissa Humphrey Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in white or black and individually or as a two-pack). 12. An acrylic belt organizing case for letting you eye your belts and designer buckles in a split second while taking up a very small amount of shelf space. Promising review: "I like how well they are made and how you can stack them or mount them on a wall. We used ours for belts and ties and they work great. I own a cleaning business and a client of mine had them in his closet when we were dusting. I asked him where he got them from and then I purchased them as well. I love them! I will be buying more." — Brenda Lamberti Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 13. A rotating shoe rack can store your shoes, handbags, and more compact accessories in a very small spot of floor space. This'll make shopping your own closet even more appealing. SpaceAid is a small business! Promising review:"First of all… this was the easiest thing I've ever put together. It took a few minutes to assemble. Secondly, it is awesome… I've had numerous friends want the info on where I've bought it. We are in the process of remodeling a closet, so we are planning to build shelves around it. But in the meantime, it's going in my office as a plant and book shelf. My mother is planning to purchase one for her pantry in her kitchen. So well worth the money." — lauren Get it from Amazon for $199.98+ (available in three sizes). 14. A set of hoodie hangers so your most comfortable items can end their reign of terror on your normal clothes hangers or your closet's lone shelf. Venalli/Etsy, Daniel Boan/BuzzFeed Venalli is a small Etsy shop based in Overland Park, Kansas. My colleague Daniel Boan swear by these: "This is one of those "where has this been all my life?!" type of products. I'm a sucker for a soft hoodie, especially ever since my apartment became my office, and now I can wear them 24/7. As much as I love curling up in them, hanging hoodies in the closet is SUCH a pain. They always slip right off my plastic hangers unless I zip them all the way up, so they usually just end up thrown over a random chair (or that mini elliptical I bought in March 2020 and have used a total of two times 😬). These little hook-shaped hangers are the storage miracle I never knew I needed. Now I can just hang my sweatshirts and jackets by the hood and easily grab them when I need them — no zipping or folding necessary! Best of all, the pile of random hoodies on my chair has disappeared. I'm keeping the mini elliptical covered, though." Get a pack of 10 from Venalli on Etsy for $19.99. 15. A "portable closet" that some reviewers have used *in* a closet as an organizing system. But it really shines with its intended use as an outside-of-closet organizing solution where 1) a closet doesn't exist or 2) your fashionista status has outgrown said closet, and you've gotta do SOMETHING with your stuff in the meantime. Promising review: "I moved into a new apartment with limited closet space, and this was easy to put together and sturdy. Just what I needed." — Amanda Short Get it from Amazon for $43.99+ (available in five configurations and three colors). 16. Some slim-fitting velvet hangers for a VERY simple switch for a lot more room in your closet. Sorry, plastic coat hangers! You're no longer welcome here. Promising review:"You get twice the amount of space in your closet. Highly recommend them for neat freaks and small closet spaces." — Kinsley P Get 50 flocked hangers on Amazon for $24.19+ (available in five colors). 17. A tie holder that'll store as many as 20 ties and keep them in tip-top shape in between wears. Go ahead, buy a couple. Dozen. Amazon Promising review:"Does pretty good. Holds 20 ties each. Comes with two racks. It holds them pretty snugly. They seem durable. I've probably got 5-7lbs of ties on each. Organizes them beautifully." — Jabbalaugh Get a pair from Amazon for $8.99. 18. A shirt folder to make all of your stacks of clothing even crisper and tidier. Promising review:"Easy to use! Made very durably. I haven't had this much fun folding clothes, EVER! I am going around my entire house and plan to fold every single thing I can! Makes nice, neat stacks of T-shirts! If you are a bit of an organization and neat freak — THIS PRODUCT IS FOR YOU!!! Love it!" — Cynthia L. Weisert Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors). 19. Or if you'd like to cut to the chase and want even easier access to your folded shirts, an Ezstax closet organizer *and* shirt folder can turn that pile of shirts into an orderly display you can flip through to find that shirt dead in the middle of the stack that you wanna wear today. ThreadStax, Promising review:"Love this. I bought the 20-pack. I love clothes, and I'm a neat freak without a lot of closet space. Now I can store my shirts and camis in my closet shelves and can see and access each one individually. Wish they were more affordable, or I'd buy even more!" — Wendy I. Smith Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in two sizes and five multi-packs). 20. Clip-on shelf dividers as a topple-free solution for keeping your sweatshirts, gym clothes, and other drawer overflow in neat piles. (Those hoods always mess up other sweatshirt organizing options!) Amazon Promising review:"Helped with the organization of my messy closet shelves. Everything stays stacked now, and I can see and easily grab what I need. Love them!" — Shawn LeValley Get a set of eight from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three quantities). 21. A genius T-shirt roll holder to move some shirts from hangers or drawers to an unused door back *or* front. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed The Roll Keeper is owned by Kelso, Washington's resident crafter, Traci. Traci has been crafting for over 40 years and created her storage design to help organize vinyl, soon realizing that it was the perfect organization solution for much more. Her shop has versions for bottles, wrapping paper, pens, and more. Don't miss checking out this small business! My colleague Mallory Mower owns this and loves it: "Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed, because I have a teeny tiny closet (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn't have before. The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I've purchased an Etsy product from!" 22. A scarf organizer can help you remember which scarves you actually than assuming that you left that one pashmina in a hotel room in who knows where only to find it on your closet floor a year later. Can hold 23 scarves! DecoBrothers is a small biz specializing in all sorts of home-organizing solutions. Promising review:"I am an organization freak, and this keeps all my scarves neat and organized (No more scrounging through the back of my closet trying to look for the scarf I want to wear!). It saves a ton of space in my closet as well." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three colors). 23. Drawer organizers so you can finally find that one pair of nude-colored underwear for that dress you're wearing to a picnic. (Truly, you can never have too many pairs of nude undies.) Each set comes with four bins: a six-cell (for scarves, hankies, and ties), an eight-cell (for undies), a seven-cell (for bras), and a 24-cell (for socks). They're also collapsable and fold flat if you need to store them away! Promising review:"I am a neat freak so these were right up my alley. They are great organizers for my socks, undies and some of my beauty products. Not super sturdy but still pleased with this product and will most likely order a few more for organizing other drawers." — Kelley Anderson Get the set of four from Amazon for $15.97 (available in seven colors). 24. A space-saving retractable clothes rack your laundry room has been yearning for since you first hung up a shirt in there. It can buy you a little extra clothing storage space and even give you a spot to plan out your week's worth of work outfits or outfit combos for an upcoming trip! Promising reviews:"Amazing quality. Perfect for neat freaks! We got this for our small laundry room. This is the perfect answer to both small spaces and the desire for clean lines. It's sturdy and holds about 20 items. When we are not using it, it folds so darn neatly. Looks awesome and is easy to install. Would totally get more for other rooms. I am thinking guest rooms." — linda sloan Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five colors). 25. And a trio of clothes storage bags where you can stuff a bunch of stuff that doesn't currently fit, is seasonal, or you just need to get out of the way right now. They have a handy window where you can see what's inside before you open it up. Reviewers say they fit a LOT. Promising review: "Durable and convenient storage bags that fit in closets and are also stackable in a common area. Thick, clear plastic area for easy viewing of what is inside but gives privacy. Easy to use handles." — JayJay

A set of drawer organizers that can take your dresser from the chaos that is a TJ Maxx sale section to the enviable order that is The Container Store. 😍 The set of four dividers can fit scarves, ties, underwear, bras, and socks, as seen above.

Hanson Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in seven colors). 2. Some legging organizing hangers if your black legging collection is getting a little out of hand and you never know if you're pulling out your indoor or outdoor leggings. (Big difference!!!)

Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour Get them from Amazon for $12.23+ (available in packs of one, two, or four, and in two colors). 3. Or some space-saving six-tier pants hangers should your kryptonite be denim and you can't help but buy five new pairs every time Abercrombie has a sale... Promising review: "These are a great way to save space in your closet! They are well made and the clips hold the garments tightly. They are lightweight but very sturdy." — Leah Larsen Get a pack of four from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in packs of two and three). 4.

Promising reviews: "I love this thing. The pockets are large and deep so you can fit so much inside of it. Saved me a ton of room in my closet." — Amazon Customer "I love this product. It is exactly what I needed! It is very easy to put together. I hang it in my closet to maximize the space and to clear additional shelf space in my closet. It is very functional. Instead of tippy-toeing to reach things, they are all directly in front of me for easy access. The quality is good, it feels sturdy, and it is likely to last a while." — Chao Chao Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in various colors and sizes). 5.

I found the cutest tops in there that I had completely forgotten about because my clothes were crammed in the closet so tightly. Most of the time, I felt like I had nothing to wear, LOL, and now, I know exactly what I have, and it's even organized by sleeve length and color. I would definitely buy again and actually plan to buy more for my husband and children to use as well." — Mariko Lamb Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors and packs of 24). 6. An adjustable hanging rod to help you make the most of your already spatially challenged closet. You can tweak the contraption's vertical and horizontal measurements so it fits juuuust right. Promising review: "The best thing about this product is that as long as you have basic assembly skills, it works with the strength and reliability of any similar product that costs five times as much. Every. Single. Bad. Review of this product is misleading and purely due to user error during setup. I can easily hang over 20 pairs of thick men's jeans and pants on this bar with ZERO issues. I promise you, when installed correctly, this product will be a great source of organization and storage happiness for you and your closet." — Lily Elisabeth Get it from Amazon for $16.87+ (available in packs of one or two and in three finishes). 7. Some foldable cloth storage cubes you can pop in the top of your closet if you not only need extra organization space, but a way to hide just how many miscellaneous THINGS you own. Amazon, Promising review:"This is exactly what I anticipated, I wish they were just slightly bigger but I use them on the side in my closet almost like drawers. It's definitely a space saver for me because we have just downsized and wanted a neat solution for lack of space to put a dresser in the bedroom. They work great — if I was using them right side up I am quite sure they would be more sturdy, but honestly I am not complaining because they work great for me. These run anywhere from $5–$10 at any store I looked at so as far as value totally worth it!" — Gretchen Struckhoff Get a set of six from Amazon for $21.97 (available in 11 colors). 8. Some hanging vacuum bags so you can change out your winter wardrobe for your spring one. Just make sure you time it right, and don't fall for fool's spring!!!

I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with these space bags. I will definitely order more!" — Jia Yan Get a pack of four from Amazon for $ 27.99 + (available in various colors and pack sizes). 9. And some XXL vacuum storage bags (with a pump included) to use when you run out of hanging room in your closet. When that happens, simply pop out one of these suckers, fill it up, and then shove it under your bed or even inside a suitcase you aren't currently using! Promising review: "These are a perfect storage solution and great value! With 25 bags of various sizes to choose from, including travel bags where no vacuum is required. It was easy to reorganize the linen closet after the holidays and incredibly helpful in gaining that extra space we all need for storage. Each bag is strong and great in design, much like another popula name-brand option." — M Trias Get them from Amazon for $20.39+ (available in packs of 4, 6, 10, 8, 12, 16, 20, 22, 25, 26, 30, and 35). 10.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Daniel Boan says: "This is one of those 'where has this been all my life?!' type of products.

Now, I can just hang my sweatshirts and jackets by the hood and easily grab them when I need them — no zipping or folding necessary! Best of all, the pile of random hoodies on my chair has disappeared. I'm keeping the mini elliptical covered though." Get a 10-pack from Venalli on Etsy for $19.99. 11. A pack of tiered hangers sent from the heavens to keep track of all of your miscellaneous wardrobe items. Scarves, belts, ties, name it. These babies can hold several items, too, so one eliminates the need for five normal hangers. Amazon Promising review:"Very well made; sturdy enough to handle jeans as well as dress pants. They were a great addition to my closet. Great value for the money. Strongly recommend them." — Amazon Customer Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.99. 12. A set of under-bed storage bags so you can use the few inches under your frame to store extra linens and other odds and ends. Do you really own a concerning amount of clothes if half of them are hidden under your bed?? The bags have handles on three sides, so they're easy to fish out. They also have clear zippered tops, which allow you to see what's inside at a glance. Promising review: "Wow! These storage bags are even nicer than I expected. They seem sturdy and well made for storage of items that aren't extremely heavy. Our winter home in Florida is tiny, and being able to store extra bedding for guests under our bed is a must. These are perfect for the task. See-through tops enable quick identification of contents, and double zippers work smoothly. Would definitely recommend." — KyFan Get them from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in various colors and pack sizes). 13. And/or a pack of 24-gallon storage containers you can pop in a storage closet or even up in the attic if you know you won't be touching the items inside for another three seasons. Amazon, Promising review: "I have bought so many different types of storage containers for blankets, clothing, bedding, everything you can think of, and they never hold up. Seams come apart, handles tear off, they don't have enough room for very many items. These are great! In workmanship, size and stackability. I love these bags and won't use another storage product again!" — Michelle Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of three, four, six, eight, and in two colors). 14. A hanging laundry hamper because, let's be real, sometimes you're just lazy and items that end up on your clothes chair should actually be washed before your next wear... Promising review:"Very convenient. I'd been looking for new laundry baskets to keep in my bathroom so my family didn't just throw clothes into a pile on the floor. There isn't a lot of floor space in there, so I was looking for a tall, narrow basket and found these. They are great. I put one on the back of the door, and one hanging from a towel rack and labeled one for light colors and, without even asking, my family has been putting their clothes in the correct bin, and I just need to unzip and let the clothes fall into the laundry basket, and they are ready to go into the wash. I really like them." — D. Jelte Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors). 15. A baseball hat organizer that'll keep your caps in one central location without taking up much space at all — that way, you clear the closet shelf you were stowing them on and make more room for folded items like bulky sweaters. Amazon PS: DomeDock is a small biz! Promising review: "This is the perfect solution to keep your hats organized. Each organizer holds about a dozen hats. The hats stay put and don't fall over. As long as you tuck them properly, then they stay put and won't get messed up. Definitely worth buying." — FarraB Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in white or black and individually or as a two-pack). 16. A set of shelf dividers so you can maximize that hard-to-reach space in the top of your closet instead of just haphazardly throwing things up there and hoping they stay. They're also great for bulky items like linens and towels! The dividers are 12 inches tall and can slide over any standard shelf up to 7/8 inches thick. Promising review:"I love these! They fit snugly over my shelf, so they don't shift or move around. I have a lot of handbags, and it's been a mess on my closet shelf for the ones that are floppy. I have limited closet space in a small home, so my choices of where/how to store them are limited. This was the perfect solution. I plan on buying more when I get around to rearranging sweaters on shelves." — BarbraGenie Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99. 17. A set of two small woven baskets you can tuck on top of bookshelves, under your nightstand, or anywhere else where there's dead space you can totally convert into storage. Amazon Promising reviews:"I am obsessed with jute baskets! I love how sturdy they are and the perfect size to store my magazines and books under my living room table! The relaxed style further ties together my laid-back rustic, organic style. Love love love!" — April "I started by ordering a set of two baskets and kept ordering more. These baskets are stunning for display and hold a high capacity of linens. I am using them for storage of spare toilet paper rolls and hand towels on open shelving and for storage of table linens in the dining area cabinet... Love the sheen, construction, and quality." — Laura K. Get it from Amazon for $24.29. 18. Or a larger woven storage basket that not only looks cute, but is deep enough to hide other items you've been too lazy to actually put away. Shoes, cords to electronics, random unmatched socks, and that stack of mail you *swear* you'll eventually go through can all be hidden at the bottom of this bad boy if you just plop a blanket or pillow on top! Amazon Promising review:"I like things in my apartment to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye and that's exactly this item!!! It fits a large amount of laundry, is easy to carry, and the handles haven't not worn out or stretched." — Cierra Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four sizes and six colors). 19. A 23-loop scarf/belt/tie hanger so gone are the days when you have to search the bottom of your clothes chair pile for that *one* belt that would just make your outfit. PS: One reviewer even uses it for her child's leggings! So it's very versatile. Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter summery/spring scarves, but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn't sure it would hold all my large blanket scarves, but it does. My grandmother saw it and asked me to order one for her! This was the perfect solution to my organization problem." — Nikolette Get it from Amazon for $11.87 (available in three finishes). 20. A 360-degree rotating tank top and bra hanger that keeps all of your pieces in view so you don't have to tear through a drawer looking for your *one* bra that doesn't have the underwire poking out the side. Amazon Promising review: "At first glance, you might think, 'Hangers? Really?' But these aren't just any hangers — they're the Olympians of clothing support, the unsung heroes of closet organization. If you've ever experienced the heartbreak of a bra tumbling to its doom from a standard hanger, you'll understand why these are a necessity, not a luxury. Crafted with a design so secure, these hangers could probably hold on in a hurricane. They cradle your delicates with the gentle yet firm grip of a lifelong friend who doesn't let you down. And let's talk about that polished wooden bar — it's like a VIP seat for your wardrobe, making your bras look like they're ready for a fashion show. These hangers are so good at their job, I'm considering hanging other things on them — hats, scarves, maybe even my self-esteem. 10/10, these hangers have me rethinking the entire concept of closet storage. Truly life-changing." — Mathew Clevinger Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two finishes and packs of one or two). 21. And an over-the-door rod so you can make the most of an extra-deep closet. The additional rack uses otherwise dead space, anyways! Amazon You could also use the rack to hang lightly worn clothes that you want to air out before your next wear. Promising review:"Heaven. Took a chance and cannot stop raving about this. Incredibly sturdy. I love the gray-silver color. It's so awesome. Best purchase I've made in years! It's SO durable, arrives in box, easy to assemble, just two pops. Easy peasy. Really the best thing for times when you need a strong extra rack for clothes. Fits on the door perfectly snug. I'd buy again in a NY minute." — lisa j
