A stainless-steel tongue scraper so you can scrape away all the nastiness in your mouth that's been giving you a case of morning breath. The two-handled design makes this super easy to maneuver, and reviewers say it works way better than plastic scrapers.
A pack of all-natural bottle-cleaning tablets that'll help remove stains and odors from any water bottles or coffee tumblers that you've left unwashed for an embarrassingly long time. It happens.

Compound W One Step Pads designed to remove plantar warts with ease, and also have reviewer photos that will inspire and traumatize you in equal measure.

A cleaning gel you can use to break down mold and mildew in your washing machine's gasket — because I regret to inform you that nastiness is lurking in there. You can also use it on grout, sinks, and silicone sealants — just apply to a dry surface, let sit for 3-5 hours, then rinse away!
A bottle of earwax removal drops that use fizzy microfoam action to break down all the stubborn wax that's been clogging up your ear. 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.
And an ear-washing bottle to help clear out the impacted wax that's causing you to say "huh?!" every time someone speaks to you. Just fill the bottle with an ear cleaning solution of your choice (some reviewers suggest a mix of water and hydrogen peroxide), insert the cleaning tip into your ear, and then give the bottle a few spritzes to help loosen up all the gunk. You'll be hearing in 4K in no time.
A Tubshroom that'll catch all of your hair before it has a chance to clog your drain — because no, it shouldn't take a full hour for your shower to fully drain. Just place this in your drain and let the clever design trap hair while still letting water through.
And a not-for-the-faint-of-stomach FlexiSnake to unclog any of the many drains in your house that are filled with hair. It's also weirdly fun to operate: just place it down the drain, give a spin with the handle, then remove the hairball that was making your shower take 30 minutes to fully drain.

Or a fast-acting plug-in fly trap — it looks like a simple night-light to the unsuspecting eye but actually uses UV LED light to attract the flies, fruit flies, moths, and gnats that are using your home as their Airbnb for summer vacay. The refillable glue trap is placed on the back, so you won't even have to see the flies until it's time to replace it.

There are many foot files out there, but more than 86,000 Amazon reviewers say this one works like a charm.

If you're dealing with constant bad breath, strange tastes, or even pain, it might be time to check for tonsil stones.

Their reviews would probably say, "Feels so relaxing and soothing after a long day of being adorable."
