40 Gadgets And Gizmos That'll Make You Feel Like You're Living In The Future
An outlet light for anyone who has accidentally walked into a wall one (or two) times too many when getting up in the middle for a glass of water — this lil' gadget will subtly light your way without the need for a bulkier option. A solar-powered bird feeder with a built-in AI-powered camera that'll show you a live video of your new feathered friends as they snack away and promptly tell you what kind of species they are! Your productivity is about to go waaaaay down — but you'll learn so much about birds (which is more important than getting your laundry done, right?) A portable HP photo printer that'll make you the most popular person at any party — it can connect to multiple devices, so your friends can easily print their pics while you're out having a good time. The printed photos have sticky backings that make them easy to display (or place around your pal's house as a prank 😉). An alarm clock on wheels you'll quickly develop a complicated relationship with — it'll roll around, jump, shake, make robotic sounds and essentially just annoy you until you *finally* have to get out of bed, tackle it, and start your day. A Bluetooth scrolling remote that'll take your laziness trait to the next level but leave you feeling smug at the same time for working smarter, not harder. You can set this bad boy up, get under your covers, and enjoy some seriously cozy, hands-free scrolling. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. I've literally told every single parent or parent-to-be in my life that THIS machine is what's keeping me going — it is the light of my life (next to my kids, of course). And a Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, because why not add another gadget into the mix? This magical machine washes, sterilizes, AND dries bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam. Take it from someone who genuinely knows — this will save you SO much time so you can do one of the other million things on your to-do list instead of hangin' out with a bottle brush. A compact Kindle for any lit lover with such a long TBR list that your nightstand simply can't contain it anymore — this option will let you continue to expand your shelf virtually and take your book on-the-go without taking up too much precious space in your bag that's already filled the brim with old receipts, hand sanitizer, mints, an old granola bar, the list goes on. A self-adhesive SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (apologies) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up, you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man. A toothbrush holder and dispenser, because mornings are hard enough to cope with so you might as well mount this bad boy and let it dispense your toothpaste for you. It's the little things! A high-tech trash can you'll probably cry tears of joy over if you hate germs, because now you'll never have to physically touch the garbage can again. A reusable smartnotebook to seamlessly combine your love of handwritten notes with the ease of taking them digitally (here's to you, Rocketbook app!). As you write in this seemingly magical notebook your notes will *also* be recorded in the app. Is it 2025 or 3025? An undetectable laptop mouse jiggler that'll slide right into a USB port so you can sneak away to catch your breath and grab a coffee without anyone wondering why you've been offline for so long. An electric potato peeler to transform spuds into mashed potatoes at record speed. If for some bizarre reason you *don't* want potatoes with every meal, it'll also work on other fruits 'n' veggies like like apples and kiwis. Motorized custom shades that'll help you make even the sunniest of days into cozy ones fit for movie marathons — all you'll have to do is click your remote or ask Alexa or Google to lower them for you! A chic Aura picture frame with the ability to display a seemingly endless number of photos that can be added by everyone in your family thanks to its easy-to-use app! Send everyone in your life an invite and grant them the ability to upload pics to your frame (if you dare). A robotic vacuum, because you and I both know you don't want to spend a weekend morning trying to conquer all of the pet hair, debris, and other unexplainable messes that have found their way into your home. Kick your feet up, put on a podcast, and let this lil' gadget do its thing. A dazzling candle warmer with a lampshade reminiscent of a high-end crystal chandelier you'd likely see in the middle of a ballroom on Bridgerton. More importantly, you won't need to keep a stash of matches on hand *and* your fave candle will last basically forever since it won't actually be burning down when you pair it with this gadget. Or a cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck to light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambiance without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that'll fantastically suck up all the dust and debris you sweep its way — Rosie from The Jetsons is shaking!!! An Emeril Lagasse dual zone air fryer over combo with precise temperature for both sides so you can cook two very different items at once (and in two different ways). It has the capability to air fry, bake, cook pizza, reheat, dehydrate, roast, broil, grill, toast, keep items warm, slow cook, and can be used as a rotisserie. Bam! Emeril is still killin' it! A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth music so you can fully indulge and relax while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter that'll let you use your Bluetooth headphones to watch the big game you were grumpy about having to miss because you'd be in-flight during kickoff. A sunrise alarm clock to wake you up so pleasantly you'll forget for a second that you're in your own room and likely running late for work instead of naturally rising with the sun at a beachside resort. A PhoneSoap UV sanitizer you can toss your phone into for a quick 10 minutes after you get home to get rid of the grime that's surely lurking everywhere we go. A Samsung TV that'll disguise itself as an elegant picture frame when it's not in use so you can *finally* live out your dream of treating your home like a museum. Are we at the Louvre or your one-bedroom apartment? I can barely tell the difference! An electric waterproof bubble massage mat complete with a built-in heater and an aroma clip for essential oil aromatherapy. Just imagine how wonderful this will feel after a long workout or a long day. A Nanit monitor and wall mount to help you keep a watchful eye on your babe while they sleep — you can also easily see stats on how long they've been asleep or if they're standing and not-so-patiently waiting for you to come scoop 'em up. A Baby Shusher because even though it may seem silly to buy a gadget that literally makes a sound you can make on your own for free, you'll be happy to have it come 2 a.m. when you're exhausted and *really* not in the mood to continue 'shhh'ing repeatedly. And a Munchkin UV-sterilizing diaper pail you'll be SO happy you purchased. The UV light is said to kill staph, E. coli and klebsiella, and odor-causing bacteria. A splurge-worthy Dyson Airstrait that'll change the way you straighten your hair forever — it uses directional air flow (no metal plates!) to both dry and straighten your hair in minutes. Seriously, it only took me 10 minutes to do my hair directly from the shower! Or a rotating Beachwaver curling iron featuring the ability to basically curl your hair for you while you stand around watching YouTube videos. Technology these days, man. A Philips compact pasta maker for anyone who is a pasta snob and prefers it freshly made but is simply sick and tired of going out for dinner. Toss your ingredients into the machine and let it prep Sunday dinner for ya. 🍝 A Furbo camera that's an absolute must-have for pet parents — you'll be able to check on Fido at any time and will even receive push notifications when your pup is barking so you can talk to them through the app to calm them and even toss them a treat! A stuffed waffle maker you can count on to make all of your brunch dreams come true — fill 'em with cream cheese, strawberries, chicken, or anything else your heart desires! A thin bar light to brighten your gaming area so you can happily continue to play hours and hours (AND HOURS) of World of Warcraft without your partner asking, "are you still sitting in the dark?" A Zojirushi Bread Maker that'll do all the hard work for you (kneading, timing, etc) and leave you with an absolutely divine loaf of bread you'd expect to pick up at a farmer's market. A Sonos Move 2 portable Bluetooth speaker made from water-resistant polycarbonate material so you can pop it outside when your friends come over to hang out, blast some Charli XCX, then bring it back indoors and place it on its charging dock for safekeeping. It has Wi-Fi capabilities built right into it, so you can seamlessly cosplay as a DJ using your phone or tablet. A seriously impressive xBloom coffee machine bundle that'll transform you into a barista seemingly overnight — this spectacular machine lets you use whole beans in a pod-like system to craft cafe-quality pour-over drinks from your home. This is a seriously next-level machine that is meticulously calibrated (but does so all on its own). And a Dyson WashG1 wet cleaner — one of their latest innovations that'll be an investment worth making. It magically glides across hard floors and thoroughly removes debris, stains, hair (!!!) and other liquids with just water (though you can add detergent if you'd like). You'll be amazed to see how dirty the water becomes in the tank while you clean!

31 Products For Quick, Easy Breakfasts
A two-slice slim toaster you'll DEFINITELY have room for on your kitchen counter. It fits on my minuscule countertop and has transformed my breakfast game because I don't have to turn on my oven just for a piece of breakfast toast. And a "Bread Buddy" dispenser made specifically for keeping sandwich bread fresh with this container that keeps it a bit more airtight than other methods (sorry, bread box). Plus, once the loaf is in there you can use the bag to pull up slices. Oh, and the reviewers have the receipts on it helping keep their bread fresh for much longer. An airtight Deli ProKeeper to help keep your cold cuts and sliced cheese fresher for much longer. No more going to make a breakfast sandwich and realizing your cheese has gotten all gross. (A tragedy!) A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you can program so the coffee machine cuts on each morning before you can zombie-walk to the kitchen for the stuff you need to get you going before you even want to think about the delish smell of bacon. (It also works with Alexa and Google Home!) A breakfast sandwich maker that'll help you put your Bacon, Egg, and Cheese (or BEC) where your mouth truly is without running out to grab one someone else made for you. In under a mere five minutes, this bad boy will cook an egg, toast bread, warm precooked meat, and melt cheese FOR you. Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it "Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.) Or a mason jar cold brew maker awaiting you in the fridge if you prefer the chilled stuff and would like to gulp it down ASAP. Psst, you can also use this to brew iced tea. A HyperChiller you can park directly below your *hot* coffee machine to cool down your caffeine in under a minute because you have homemade BECs to make! A super entertaining rolling egg dispenser to help you save some space in the fridge, put a new egg forward within your reach after you take out one, *and* help you quickly clock how many eggs you have left for your omelet. A rapid egg cooker will get your favorite breakfast *just* how you like it, rather than tossing improperly cooked eggs (for the millionth time). And while you're at it, save a few hard-boiled eggs for your packed lunch salad. A super efficient Oxo Tot grape cutter anyone with kids or just an appreciation for grapes (or grape tomatoes!) can really appreciate. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced for tired parents who could use the help. This mixes baby formula to the correct temp and consistency, so you don't have to and focus on feeding yourself some breakfast. Barebell's "Soft" Protein Bars for when you've gotta grab something and make it QUICK but delish. Each has 16 grams of protein in case you're the type who becomes a MONSTER without enough protein. I'm personally kinda obsessed with Cookie & Cream, and Cookie Dough flavors. A "Magic Tap" automatic drink dispenser so kids can help themselves to some OJ without them trying to pull the whole container out of the fridge (which has def spelled disaster in the past). It's battery-operated and spillproof! Plus, a cereal dispenser because you've had a few too many bleary-eyed accidents of toppled cereal boxes. And with this, your breakfast will stay fresher for longer than in improperly closed cereal bags. A rotating whisk blender to help you quickly beat eggs when making scrambled eggs for an army. BTW, I take mine low and slow. A personal blender that'll make whipping up a drinkable breakfast that much easier. No more dragging the full-size blender out of the kitchen cabinet or losing tasty gloops of smoothie when you transfer said breakfast to a drinking vessel. A self-stirring mug if you'd rather die than take your coffee black, but hate how long it takes your creamer and sugar to actually blend. An egg bite maker because you can't choke down any more instant oatmeal for like at least two weeks and you wake up craving Starbies egg bites. This'll help you make 'em on the cheap(er), customize them as you like, and freeze them to enjoy later. A microwave bacon cooker so you can say, "I ordered bacon for the table" like when you go to the diner with your family. Except with this, you won't have to babysit bacon on the stove to help prep breakfast. A reusable bacon grease absorber to get the extra grease off of your fave breakfast meat with a reusable kitchen tool! No, you don't need to go to the diner or in a drive-thru for an amazing first meal of the day. (Now repeat it as a mantra.) A pack of reusable produce-saving bags that'll come in handy to keep bananas fresh as a breakfast topping for toast, bananas, cereal, a protein bar. The world is your oyster when the fruit you brought three days ago isn't already relegated to "this is for banana bread" territory. A pancake batter dispenser and mixer can make squeezing out some mess-free pancakes easy as pie. Sometimes your family (and cravings) demand pancakes but this'll make making them feel like way less of a *thing*, A container of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust in case you want to actually make the namesake in the oven. But it'll also be a delicious level up for oatmeal, yogurt, coffee drinks, and more! Some keto-friendly everything bagels at $2 a pop (unless you sign up for a subscription) to help you build a DIY breakfast sandwich at home instead of standing in line 20 minutes at the fancy bagel shop in your neighborhood. You pop 'em in the freezer once you get 'em so you can make your own Bagel Friday at home. A bagel guillotine in case you've wanted one since you saw Seth Cohen use it on The O.C. but now realize it could be the perfect motivation to do breakfast at home. Also, it's safer than using a regular knife! A teensy mini waffle maker that'll whip up a fresh Eggo-like waffle OR help you meal-prep like a pro with your own frozen waffles you can grab outta the freezer and pop into your toaster. A three-in-one avocado slicer if you haven't quite perfected the at-home avocado toast yet. My formula? A slice of toasted seeded bread, half an avocado, red pepper flakes, and a cup of romaine or baby spinach on top. A pack of instant cold-stirred foam caramel iced lattes can satisfy your "I need a fancy coffee" excuse for grabbing breakfast outside of the house. This comes out to just over $1/drink and reviewers say gives you a satisfying froth. A pack of French vanilla-flavored Nutpods that'll give your classic ole Folgers coffee a somebody-else-fixed-this taste — even if your body is like noooooo to actual dairy. It's an unsweetened dairy-free creamer made with almonds and coconuts in a formula that'll surely satisfy most folks' diet restrictions. It's also vegan, gluten-free, and keto- and Paleo-friendly. And a compact milk frother to help you whip up some super indulgent frothy coffees in a few mere seconds. And because it has a nice, handy stand for your countertop, you'll put it to work.

31 Products To Make Stepping Into The Kitchen Way Less Daunting
1. A meat shredder with suction cups to ensure it stays put on your counter while you twist away and prep the most delicious homemade pulled pork sammies on this side of the Mississippi 😉. RedRoko is a small business. Promising review: "After watching a video on this it seemed I had to buy one and try it. This makes life so much easier. No cutting board, no knife. Can make chicken salad professional style in shreds now. It does an excellent job staying suctioned to the countertop while you swirl the top to get perfect even shreds from your chicken." — Katie Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 2. A microwave pasta cooker that'll provide you with perfectly al dente noodles with the least effort possible — add some butter and parm to those babies, plop yourself in front of the couch, tune into The Real Housewives, and dig in. 🍝 Amazon, Read our Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker review! Promising review:"I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove. Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! Be careful and read instructions carefully, as you must leave the top off while cooking it. There are lines to indicate how much water to put in the cooker versus the amount of pasta you intend to cook. The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the cooker of water, and it works very well. I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!" — Tania Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 3. A self-adhesive SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (including your coffee machine!) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up, you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man. Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine. Promising review:" This little bot has vastly improved my quality of life! I've stickered it to my air conditioner unit in two separate apartments, and it's made controlling the room temp a breeze (no pun intended). Do note, in order to use it with Alexa, you will need a separate component. That said, you can control it within its own app as is. I highly recommend getting it set up with Alexa, though. It automatically paired with Alexa, and it works off of Bluetooth, so it's super easy to detect and set up. It's exactly what I wanted!" — Danny Conner Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in white and black). 4. A fancy hands-free electric juicer that'll make freshly squeezed orange juice more than just an out-to-breakfast treat but with minimal effort — it even has a pulp filter if that's *not* your thing. Promising review:"I recently tried out this juicer for the first time, and was blown away at how fast and easy it juiced my fruit! I would normally get out the handheld fruit squeezer, but this takes all the effort away. It's a good-looking machine on my counter, and I plan on using it quite often!!" — Charles Dayment Get it from Amazon for $95.99. 5. KitchenAid shears, because you should probably stop using your regular ol' crafting scissors when you're cooking. 😅 Use these to beautifully cut quesadillas or pizza into slices (a must-have for parents!) or to quickly chop herbs. Amazon Promising review:"These scissors do it all! From cutting poultry to removing gristle from the bottom of a tri-tip roast, and any number of other kitchen items. I'm left-handed, and the grip is comfortable. They're very easy to clean, and the plastic sheath that comes with them is a plus, preventing me from gouging myself when looking for other items in the 'sharp object' drawer. I'm thinking about getting a second pair. I highly recommend these kitchen shears!" — Suzy-Q666 Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors). 6. Plus, some herb scissors so you can chop basil, chives, and parsley as fast as if you were gunning for inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records as "World's Fastest Herb Cutter." Promising review: "These are sharp and work well. I like how it cuts three pieces at a time so you can cut your herbs faster. I actually got them because we use a lot of green onion and these work well to cut that. They are easy to clean, too. They are lightweight and sturdy." — Nederland*brasil Get it from Amazon for $7.03. 7. And! A set of salad scissors that'll help you whip up a fancy salad in no time at all and without the hefty price tag that, sadly, comes with ordering a lovely chopped salad. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the salad scissors in action. Promising review: "Love these! I hate big leafy salads so I bought these and they're perfect for chopping greens into bites. I also use them to quickly chop cherry tomatoes, onions, and other veggies. VERY nice quality." — asoon Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 8. A 2-in-1 knife and cutting board for anyone who detests cleaning full-sized cutting boards — they're so awkward to fit into my sink and I somehow always end up drenched in the process. It'll also be a great option for making custom salads for the whole fam who don't necessarily want the same thing in theirs . Cut a few pieces of cucumber into your bowl and a few slices of bell pepper into your partner's! Amazon Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use. Promising review:"This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." — Dawn R. Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 9. An Emeril Lagasse dual zone air fryer over combo with precise temperature for both sides so you can cook two very different items at once (and in two different ways). It has the capability to air fry, bake, cook pizza, reheat, dehydrate, roast, broil, grill, toast, keep items warm, slow cook, and can be used as a rotisserie. Bam! Emeril is still killin' it! Amazon, Promising review:"We purchased this oven after our 26-inch drop-in oven finally saw its last day. It is a temporary oven till we remodel the kitchen. This oven does it all. I have cooked amazing dinners, cakes, cookies, and pies. the dual-zone sync option is awesome. Very happy customer here!!!" — Steve Get it from Amazon for $272.99. 10. An electric potato peeler to help you transform spuds into mashed potatoes at record speed. If for some bizarre reason you *don't* want potatoes with every meal, it'll also work on other fruits 'n' veggies like like apples and kiwis. Promising review:"Love it! It's light and easy to use. When I use a potato peeler, I am always peeling too much potato with the peel. This blade is fine and only gets the skin, in seconds. Except for the 'poles' of the potato, but I don't mind. It's easy to clean if you have a sprayer to just rinse off the spikes where you insert your potatoes. Small enough and doesn't take up much room." — yestfl Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 11. A"Gracula" garlic crusher that'll make even the most serious of chefs let out an audible giggle. Unless that chef is, of course, a vampire. They might not find it quite as hilarious — but let them know it can crush nuts up, too! Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I've minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It's a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway so it's not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" — Barbie Get it from Amazon for $24.95. 12. An Oxo Tot grape cutter because who on earth wants to spend their precious time cutting grapes??? This lil' gadget will ensure your kiddo's favorite fruit is the perfect size without costing you an entire afternoon. See why one parent on TikTok loves it here! Note that Amazon currently only carries the grape cutter in blue. It's also perfect for cherry tomatoes, berries, olives, and many reviewers say it works on a variety of fruits! Promising review: "Our 2-year-old and 10-month-old LOVE grapes and cherry tomatoes, and it was a chore to manually quarter them. This gizmo made it a breeze! Only complaint is if the grapes/tomatoes they kind of roll a bit before being cut and some of the resulting pieces are a little bigger. Otherwise 5/5 would DEFINITELY buy again and recommend to others!" — Abby K Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 13. A Magic Bullet blender you can count on to help you recreate the overpriced green juice or smoothies you usually pick up on your way to the office. When I was pregnant the only thing I could stomach in the morning were smoothies, so this lil' gadget became my partner-in-crime. It's the perfect size to blend a smoothie for one person and does so super quickly. I'd just toss in my ingredients, blend, twist the cup off the base, and stick a straw right into the cup. I loved that there was less to clean than if I had blended it in a full-size blender and poured it into another cup. Promising review:"I use this almost every morning. This was my savior during the quarantine part of the pandemic when I was working from home. I was able to easily make smoothies for breakfast or a snack instead of eating junk. Blended quickly and easily, easy to clean, and came with so many cups and travel options I was able to continue my healthy habit when I went back to work!" — Marissa Vittorio Get it from Amazon for $39.88+ (available in two colors). 14. A Nespresso Vertuo coffee and espresso maker that'll have your favorite drink ready in minutes — say goodbye to your cranky morning mood and spending all of your hard-earned dollars on mediocre lattes. It heats up in 15 seconds and has a 40-ounce water tank so you don't have to fill it every morning. Promising review:"I like iced coffee with high caffeine. This fits the bill perfectly and is a joy to use and drink. My Starbucks monthly bill has come down considerably after buying this unit, and I'm ready to hit the ground running that much sooner in the morning. I especially enjoy the self-cleaning feature and the ability to run it for smaller or larger cup sizes. Truly a premium product." — David T. Get it from Amazon for $219.95+ (available in three colors, plus in bundle options with the Aeroccino milk frother). 15. And a HyperChiller to cool your favorite drink in less than a minute. A must-have if you're like me and prefer to drink iced coffee all year. Yes, that includes when it's 25 degrees out. Promising review:"For those not fully familiar with how it works, what it's accomplishing is trying to surround your liquid with as much ice-behind-metal as possible. So, it has a center chamber of ice behind the metal, then an outer chamber of ice. The inner chamber fits inside the outer with about a cup's worth of space that's between the inner and outer chamber. This exposes your liquid to the greatest surface area of super-cold metal that they can, and since your liquid is only touching metal, and not the ice itself, it doesn't matter the temperature of the liquid poured in. You can pour in boiling water and while it may end up melting a bunch of the ice behind the metal, none of that water will mix with your drink. So, whether you're chilling a wine, dropping hot coffee to cool it off, or just wanting to rapidly drop the temp of that fresh lemonade you made without making it watery, this will get that done." — P. Ericksen Get it from Amazon for $15.12+ (available in five colors). 16. A KitchenAid food chopper to spare you the hassle of trying to finely chop ingredients *and* make sure all of your sauces and soups will be lump-free. Amazon Promising review:"This is a perfect size for a small counter. It stores both blades, and the cord wraps nicely. It is large enough to chop a large onion. It has a variable speed, which is great for controlling particle size. It seems well made, very little vibration,n and is very attractive." — D Powell Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in five styles). 17. An amazing cheese grater that'll have you volunteering to bring mac and cheese for every potluck from here on out — it has the ability to grate an entire block of cheese in under a minute!!! It can also grate vegetables and nuts, in case you were wondering. Check it out in this TikTok video to see it work its magic. Promising review: "The one I received was sharp enough to get the job done! I shred a large head of cabbage in less than five minutes, counting clean-up! Shreds potatoes just as quick with peels on, or thin slices just as easy! Cheese I would partly freeze before shredding as it will get a little gummy the warmer it gets! Clean counter suction works great. I lightly dampened, dried, placed on counter, holds real strong! Oh, I also slice a cored apple in no time!" — Macy S. Get it from Amazon for $24.69+ (available in 11 colors and two styles). 18. A veggie chopper because none of us have time to cry at the club anymore — and by "club," I mean your kitchen, and by "us," I mean myself (I'm reserving for my annual viewing of Titanic). Anyways, this baby will dice up anything you throw in it at record speed. Chop, chop! 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 $29.97 (available in four colors). 19. A stuffed waffle maker you can count on to make all of your brunch dreams come true — fill 'em with cream cheese, strawberries, chicken, or anything else your heart desires! Promising review:"Oh my goodness. This was way better than expected. Definitely only need one waffle per person, they are huge. T hey are beyond delicious and the stuffing options are endless. It does take about seven minutes to make one waffle but totally worth it. Comes out perfect every single time. No issues at all. Buy it now!" — armywife Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 20. A rotating whisk blender you'll praise your new I-cook-all-the-time self for buying — it can blend, froth, whisk, beat, and stir, all without taking up much storage space in your kitchen. Are you someone who casually whips up a salad dressing all on your own? You just might be now, thanks to this tool. Check out a TikTok of the whisk in action. Promising review:"This is one of the coolest gizmos I've purchased! And it works like a charm, especially for scrambled eggs. I've always struggled with getting the egg white and yolk blended well together. This tool does the trick. I found it most effective with liquids. Any kind of sauce or salad dressing can be well blended with this tool too." — Austin Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 21. A KitchenAid stand mixer for the laziest baker in the game — this famed appliance will do all the heavy lifting for you so you can get your snickerdoodles in the oven faster than you can sing "C is for Cookie." Amazon Promising review: "I really debated on spending so much money on a mixer. Would it really be worth it?? For sure it is! I can't say enough great things about this mixer. First of all, love the color! It's a great accent piece in my kitchen. I have made cookies, bars, cakes, and mashed potatoes in the few weeks that I have had it. It mixes the batter so much better than I ever could with my hand mixer! And I think the food actually tastes better! For a busy mom, it almost seems to be saving me time, because it mixes while you can gather other ingredients, etc. It takes me less time to bake, and the cleanup is easier since it's just one bowl and a mixing paddle. Well, worth the money, I wish I would have decided to get one sooner!" — Prof. G Get it from Amazon for $449+ (available in 22 colors). 22. An adorable mushroom kitchen timer that'll act as lovely cottagecore decor but *also* ensure you remember to take your banana bread out of the oven in time.

My kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.' Love it." — Vik V Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four colors). 23. A meat thermometer so you'll never have to guess "is my steak cooked?" again. You can grill with confidence! Alpha Grillers is a family-owned small business in Nevada that sells bbq and grilling tools. Promising review: "I bought this thermometer to help me with my ever so confusing question, "is the turkey done?" I love this thermometer for a few reasons: the probe can be folded when done, the digital numbers are large and the screen is backlit, and the back of the thermometer has magnets on it so you can store it on a fridge or range hood for easy access. Overall it is a good thermometer and I think is pretty accurate." — candy Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 24. An "Adjust-A-Cup" measuring cup with a plunger dispenser attached to it you can use to accurately measure out liquids, annoyingly sticky substances (honey, peanut butter, etc) and regular ol' powders. It can be adjusted to measure between 1/8 cup–2 cups as well as teaspoon, tablespoon, ounces, and millimeter measurements. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Adjust-A-Cup in action. Promising review: "You can't beat this for measuring things like honey and molasses.

A meat tenderizer that'll transform your cheap cut of steak from drab to fab — it'll take you no time at all to use this tool and make your meat that much more delectable. Amazon, Jaccard is a small business! Promising review:"This thing really works great. Takes only seconds to tenderize any kind of meat. I've used on pork, beef, and chicken and the results are these meats cook and taste so much better after being tenderized with this. Many people ask about dishwasher-safe. I have used it for a while and always put it in the dishwasher and it's fine. It's plastic and stainless-steel so I don't think the dishwasher can hurt it." — 5280 Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in two styles and four colors). 27. A perfect egg timer to take all of the guesswork out of your egg-cooking process. The face on the timer will change colors to indicate how cooked your egg is, so if you're forever dreaming of a runny middle you'll be able to make them perfectly every time. Promising review:"This thing is the Seriously, buy one. You won't regret it. Works the first time and every time after that. I was slightly concerned when I first got it out the package.

Easy to see the lines!" — gunmetalgreen Get it from Amazon for $8.78. 28. A rapid egg cooker with the ability to make hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and omelets — which is about two more kinds than I know how to make on my own.

An oil mister that'll help you perfectly cover your ingredients without getting your hands covered in grease so you can promptly get back to aimlessly scrolling your phone while your veggies cook. Promising review: "What a nice set for spraying oil and vinegar. I love that the containers are glass and very durable. The set comes with two little funnels for filling the bottles and a brush for cleaning the bottles. The bottles are not too big, so they don't take up too much room on my counter. The set is so nice that I might get another set for a second type of oil and soy sauce." — LB Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.99. 30. A cookie scoop, so all of your precious balls of dough will come out *exactly* the same size and look simply stunning before everyone in the house gobbles 'em up. One reviewer notes also using it to perfectly scoop meatballs! I have one of these and it has been a game changer when making cookies. I love that each one comes out the same size, making it easier than ever to know precisely how many will fit on my baking sheet. Promising review:"Why didn't I have one of these in my kitchen drawer before?! I bought the medium-sized scoop originally to make a large batch of cookies for Christmas, but today it came handy when I had leftover batter from my banana bread recipe and it made the perfect scoop to fill a regular-sized cupcake liner! Now I'm thinking about getting the small size for my mini-cupcakes! Super easy and they came out perfectly uniform and totally beats trying to use a spoon! Handles have a nice silicone grip too and help with hand fatigue. :-)" — Michi K Get it from Amazon for $11.88. 31.

Here Are 30 Kitchen Gadgets For Those Who, Like Me, Would Rather Take The Lazy Way Out
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. I'm not sure how you've survived cooking this long without a meat thermometer. 1. A microwave pasta cooker that'll provide you with perfectly al dente noodles with the least effort possible — add some butter and parm to those babies, plop yourself in front of the couch, tune into The Real Housewives, and dig in. 🍝 Amazon, Read our Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker review! Promising review:"I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove. Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! Be careful and read instructions carefully, as you must leave the top off while cooking it. There are lines to indicate how much water to put in the cooker versus the amount of pasta you intend to cook. The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the cooker of water, and it works very well. I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!" — Tania Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 2. A self-adhesive SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (including your coffee machine!) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up, you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man. Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine. Promising review:" This little bot has vastly improved my quality of life! I've stickered it to my air conditioner unit in two separate apartments, and it's made controlling the room temp a breeze (no pun intended). Do note, in order to use it with Alexa, you will need a separate component. That said, you can control it within its own app as is. I highly recommend getting it set up with Alexa, though. It automatically paired with Alexa, and it works off of Bluetooth, so it's super easy to detect and set up. It's exactly what I wanted!" — Danny Conner Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in white and black). 3. A fancy hands-free electric juicer that'll make freshly squeezed orange juice more than just an out-to-breakfast treat but with minimal effort — it even has a pulp filter if that's *not* your thing. Promising review:"I recently tried out this juicer for the first time, and was blown away at how fast and easy it juiced my fruit! I would normally get out the handheld fruit squeezer, but this takes all the effort away. It's a good-looking machine on my counter, and I plan on using it quite often!!" — Charles Dayment Get it from Amazon for $95.99. 4. KitchenAid shears, because you should probably stop using your regular ol' crafting scissors when you're cooking. 😅 Use these to beautifully cut quesadillas or pizza into slices (a must-have for parents!) or to quickly chop herbs. Amazon Promising review:"These scissors do it all! From cutting poultry to removing gristle from the bottom of a tri-tip roast, and any number of other kitchen items. I'm left-handed, and the grip is comfortable. They're very easy to clean, and the plastic sheath that comes with them is a plus, preventing me from gouging myself when looking for other items in the 'sharp object' drawer. I'm thinking about getting a second pair. I highly recommend these kitchen shears!" — Suzy-Q666 Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors). 5. Plus, some herb scissors so you can chop basil, chives, and parsley as fast as if you were gunning for inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records as "World's Fastest Herb Cutter." Promising review: "These are sharp and work well. I like how it cuts three pieces at a time so you can cut your herbs faster. I actually got them because we use a lot of green onion and these work well to cut that. They are easy to clean, too. They are lightweight and sturdy." — Nederland*brasil Get it from Amazon for $7.03. 6. And! A set of salad scissors that'll help you whip up a fancy salad in no time at all and without the hefty price tag that, sadly, comes with ordering a lovely chopped salad. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the salad scissors in action. Promising review: "Love these! I hate big leafy salads so I bought these and they're perfect for chopping greens into bites. I also use them to quickly chop cherry tomatoes, onions, and other veggies. VERY nice quality." — asoon Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 7. A 2-in-1 knife and cutting board for anyone who detests cleaning full-sized cutting boards — they're so awkward to fit into my sink and I somehow always end up drenched in the process. It'll also be a great option for making custom salads for the whole fam who don't necessarily want the same thing in theirs . Cut a few pieces of cucumber into your bowl and a few slices of bell pepper into your partner's! Amazon Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use. Promising review:"This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." — Dawn R. Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 8. An Emeril Lagasse dual zone air fryer over combo with precise temperature for both sides so you can cook two very different items at once (and in two different ways). It has the capability to air fry, bake, cook pizza, reheat, dehydrate, roast, broil, grill, toast, keep items warm, slow cook, and can be used as a rotisserie. Bam! Emeril is still killin' it! Amazon, Promising review:"We purchased this oven after our 26-inch drop-in oven finally saw its last day. It is a temporary oven till we remodel the kitchen. This oven does it all. I have cooked amazing dinners, cakes, cookies, and pies. the dual-zone sync option is awesome. Very happy customer here!!!" — Steve Get it from Amazon for $272.99. 9. An electric potato peeler to help you transform spuds into mashed potatoes at record speed. If for some bizarre reason you *don't* want potatoes with every meal, it'll also work on other fruits 'n' veggies like like apples and kiwis. Promising review:"Love it! It's light and easy to use. When I use a potato peeler, I am always peeling too much potato with the peel. This blade is fine and only gets the skin, in seconds. Except for the 'poles' of the potato, but I don't mind. It's easy to clean if you have a sprayer to just rinse off the spikes where you insert your potatoes. Small enough and doesn't take up much room." — yestfl Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 10. A"Gracula" garlic crusher that'll make even the most serious of chefs let out an audible giggle. Unless that chef is, of course, a vampire. They might not find it quite as hilarious — but let them know it can crush nuts up, too! Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I've minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It's a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway so it's not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" — Barbie Get it from Amazon for $24.95. 11. An Oxo Tot grape cutter because who on earth wants to spend their precious time cutting grapes??? This lil' gadget will ensure your kiddo's favorite fruit is the perfect size without costing you an entire afternoon. See why one parent on TikTok loves it here! Note that Amazon currently only carries the grape cutter in blue. It's also perfect for cherry tomatoes, berries, olives, and many reviewers say it works on a variety of fruits! Promising review: "Our 2-year-old and 10-month-old LOVE grapes and cherry tomatoes, and it was a chore to manually quarter them. This gizmo made it a breeze! Only complaint is if the grapes/tomatoes they kind of roll a bit before being cut and some of the resulting pieces are a little bigger. Otherwise 5/5 would DEFINITELY buy again and recommend to others!" — Abby K Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 12. A Magic Bullet blender you can count on to help you recreate the overpriced green juice or smoothies you usually pick up on your way to the office. Amazon When I was pregnant the only thing I could stomach in the morning were smoothies, so this lil' gadget became my partner-in-crime. It's the perfect size to blend a smoothie for one person and does so super quickly. I'd just toss in my ingredients, blend, twist the cup off the base, and stick a straw right into the cup. I loved that there was less to clean than if I had blended it in a full-size blender and poured it into another cup. Promising review:"I use this almost every morning. This was my savior during the quarantine part of the pandemic when I was working from home. I was able to easily make smoothies for breakfast or a snack instead of eating junk. Blended quickly and easily, easy to clean, and came with so many cups and travel options I was able to continue my healthy habit when I went back to work!" — Marissa Vittorio Get it from Amazon for $39.88+ (available in two colors). 13. A Nespresso Vertuo coffee and espresso maker that'll have your favorite drink ready in minutes — say goodbye to your cranky morning mood and spending all of your hard-earned dollars on mediocre lattes. It heats up in 15 seconds and has a 40-ounce water tank so you don't have to fill it every morning. Promising review:"I like iced coffee with high caffeine. This fits the bill perfectly and is a joy to use and drink. My Starbucks monthly bill has come down considerably after buying this unit, and I'm ready to hit the ground running that much sooner in the morning. I especially enjoy the self-cleaning feature and the ability to run it for smaller or larger cup sizes. Truly a premium product." — David T. Get it from Amazon for $219.95+ (available in three colors, plus in bundle options with the Aeroccino milk frother). 14. And a HyperChiller to cool your favorite drink in less than a minute. A must-have if you're like me and prefer to drink iced coffee all year. Yes, that includes when it's 25 degrees out. Promising review:"For those not fully familiar with how it works, what it's accomplishing is trying to surround your liquid with as much ice-behind-metal as possible. So, it has a center chamber of ice behind the metal, then an outer chamber of ice. The inner chamber fits inside the outer with about a cup's worth of space that's between the inner and outer chamber. This exposes your liquid to the greatest surface area of super-cold metal that they can, and since your liquid is only touching metal, and not the ice itself, it doesn't matter the temperature of the liquid poured in. You can pour in boiling water and while it may end up melting a bunch of the ice behind the metal, none of that water will mix with your drink. So, whether you're chilling a wine, dropping hot coffee to cool it off, or just wanting to rapidly drop the temp of that fresh lemonade you made without making it watery, this will get that done." — P. Ericksen Get it from Amazon for $15.12+ (available in five colors). 15. A KitchenAid food chopper to spare you the hassle of trying to finely chop ingredients *and* make sure all of your sauces and soups will be lump-free. Amazon Promising review:"This is a perfect size for a small counter. It stores both blades, and the cord wraps nicely. It is large enough to chop a large onion. It has a variable speed, which is great for controlling particle size. It seems well made, very little vibration,n and is very attractive." — D Powell Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in five styles). 16. An amazing cheese grater that'll have you volunteering to bring mac and cheese for every potluck from here on out — it has the ability to grate an entire block of cheese in under a minute!!! It can also grate vegetables and nuts, in case you were wondering. Check it out in this TikTok video to see it work its magic. Promising review: "The one I received was sharp enough to get the job done! I shred a large head of cabbage in less than five minutes, counting clean-up! Shreds potatoes just as quick with peels on, or thin slices just as easy! Cheese I would partly freeze before shredding as it will get a little gummy the warmer it gets! Clean counter suction works great. I lightly dampened, dried, placed on counter, holds real strong! Oh, I also slice a cored apple in no time!" — Macy S. Get it from Amazon for $24.69+ (available in 11 colors and two styles). 17. A veggie chopper because none of us have time to cry at the club anymore — and by "club," I mean your kitchen, and by "us," I mean myself (I'm reserving for my annual viewing of Titanic). Anyways, this baby will dice up anything you throw in it at record speed. Chop, chop! 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 $29.97 (available in four colors). 18. A stuffed waffle maker you can count on to make all of your brunch dreams come true — fill 'em with cream cheese, strawberries, chicken, or anything else your heart desires! Promising review:"Oh my goodness. This was way better than expected. Definitely only need one waffle per person, they are huge. T hey are beyond delicious and the stuffing options are endless. It does take about seven minutes to make one waffle but totally worth it. Comes out perfect every single time. No issues at all. Buy it now!" — armywife Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 19. A rotating whisk blender you'll praise your new I-cook-all-the-time self for buying — it can blend, froth, whisk, beat, and stir, all without taking up much storage space in your kitchen. Are you someone who casually whips up a salad dressing all on your own? You just might be now, thanks to this tool. Check out a TikTok of the whisk in action. Promising review:"This is one of the coolest gizmos I've purchased! And it works like a charm, especially for scrambled eggs. I've always struggled with getting the egg white and yolk blended well together. This tool does the trick. I found it most effective with liquids. Any kind of sauce or salad dressing can be well blended with this tool too." — Austin Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 20. A KitchenAid stand mixer for the laziest baker in the game — this famed appliance will do all the heavy lifting for you so you can get your snickerdoodles in the oven faster than you can sing "C is for Cookie." Amazon Promising review: "I really debated on spending so much money on a mixer. Would it really be worth it?? For sure it is! I can't say enough great things about this mixer. First of all, love the color! It's a great accent piece in my kitchen. I have made cookies, bars, cakes, and mashed potatoes in the few weeks that I have had it.

An adorable mushroom kitchen timer that'll act as lovely cottagecore decor but *also* ensure you remember to take your banana bread out of the oven in time. This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying. Promising review: "This is whimsical and fun. My kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.'

A popular-on-TikTok set of matte hair claws so you can put your hair up with a looser look compared to rubber bands. They'll have you looking put-together in just seconds! Plus, they come in so many cute colors, they'll add some ~spice~ to your locks. Amazon, Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde says:" I've owned this set for about a year, and I am reaching for them constantly! I used to be someone who would tie my hair up in a messy bun whenever I was doing things around the house, but I noticed how that would really start damaging my hair after a while. Instead, I just clip my hair back with one of these, and my long, thick hair stays in place without the claw jamming into my head. I have some other clips lying around that I should probably get rid of because I exclusively use these!" Promising review:" I will admit I bought these from seeing them on TikTok and I needed new clips for my thick hair. I am not disappointed and beyond glad I got them.

Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option), so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now, don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment three-quarters full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" — Carmen E. Get it from Amazon for $16.69+ (available in three styles and two sizes). 8.

Promising review:"Got this as a gift for Father's Day, and it turned out better than expected! My dad likes drip coffee, but it's too hot to drink it black right away, so he used to let it cool in his mug on the way to work, but that takes too long. Now he keeps this in the freezer, pours the coffee from the pot into this, and then immediately pours it into his mug, and it's the perfect temperature. Gives this thing a quick rinse and back in the freezer for tomorrow. Simple, but it works and saves valuable time in the morning." — becca Get it from Amazon for $14.34+ (available in five colors). 9.

Promising review:"This alarm clock is one of the most innovative alarm clocks I have ever seen. Ever since I purchased it a few weeks ago, my night and morning routines have improved dramatically. I no longer need my phone for an alarm in my room at night, which improves my sleep and relaxation. The light feature works perfectly as my reading light, and the fun colors that I can choose add a fun ambiance to my room at night. The alarm settings in the morning are reliable and fun. I wake up each morning to a soothing piano riff and a simulation of the sun rising 20 minutes before my alarm goes off." — Sandra L. Cranny Get it from Amazon for $35.08+ (available in three colors). 12. A set of magnetic lashes because the struggle of trying to put on falsies every day is too real.

They even stay on in the wind. I can attest to this as I live on a lake, and it is frequently windy. You will not be disappointed, and you will love the value and quality of the lashes." — Ann T Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five different pack sizes). 13.

An adorable magnetic cloud key holder that def *won't* rain on your parade. Just stick your keychain on here when you get home, so the next time you leave, you're not frantically searching for it. Amazon Promising review:"So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far, I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys, and so far, it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." — D. Carter Get it from Amazon for $7.98. 15.

I use it more to find my phone than my keys." — Manda Moore Get it from Amazon for $23.99. 16.

I travel a lot for work, wearing casual dress pants and sport jackets, dress shirts, etc. I can spray and hang for 15–20 minutes, and the clothing looks great.

Amazon, Promising review:"I purchased this zipper puller for a very dear friend of mine. She recently lost her husband after 62 years together. She loves to dress up and was concerned that she would not be able to wear dresses with back zippers; that was always her husband's job. She was so thrilled when I gave her this gift, she actually cried. Sometimes the smallest of gifts brings so much happiness."— reds Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in three colors). 22. A set of elastic lock laces since taking the time to tie your shoes or undo a stubborn knot takes precious seconds away from your day. Just slip on your sneakers and take off! Amazon Promising review:"I can't believe just how pumped I am over these shoelaces! They make me wanna slip my shoes off and on just because I can! They make my shoes more comfortable than I could have ever imagined (due to the elasticity). I have them set up to just the right amount of tightness to where I can just slip my shoes on and off without having to adjust them at all (and they are plenty tight). Welcome to the 21st century!" — dm925 Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 16 colors). 23.

I have long hair (almost to my waist), and I hate to have my hair dripping water right after shower, but I do not want to use my hair dryer at all times, so I just keep this wrapped up for a while, and it does wonders! My hair is almost fully dry when I take this off (15–30 minutes max), and I feel relieved that I don't have to carry the weight of a full towel around! The button is nicely placed and it's easy to just wrap it around your head. I have one, and my stepdaughter has the other, and we both love it!!" — Ana Davis Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in 17 colors). 26. A dry shampoo foam so you can refresh your scalp and locks without having to take your deluxe shower before work. Amazon Promising review:"I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It's wavy (2b to 2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides on my head, the most oily places for me. It was easy to work through and it smells so fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder-dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can't go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." — Amelia Tilton Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 27.

No time for a wash? No problem! Amazon Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the puff on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." — Teresa Get it from Amazon for $18. 28. A trinket dish that you can keep by your front door or bedside table to hold your daily necessities — rings, keys, cash — so you'll never frantically look for them as you're running against the clock.

Promising reviews:"I have mid-length 4c hair, and this works perfectly! It doesn't take too long to do. I started off on the low setting and went back over it with the cool setting. It really got the full length of my hair, and my hair didn't feel dry or damaged at all (I rinsed it and used hair lotion and combed out my hair before I used the dryer)." — Jess "I kept seeing this all over social media. I assumed it was a gimmick, and I wasn't going to love it, let alone like it. I was going to use it, and I figured with Amazon's amazing return policy, I was probably gonna just return it. What do I have to lose? I have wavy/curly hair. Normally, my hair is still frizzy after I blow it out with a round brush and dryer. I have to add product to smooth it out and then go over with my iron. Not anymore. No more adding smoothing gels and serums that just weigh down my hair, making it look dirty, or flat ironing it after. feels so soft. And it lasts. Currently on day three of waking up with the best hair ever. What is this magical device?!?" — Kelli Michele Some reviewers with 4a–c hair like this brush, but others say it didn't work for them.

It requires two AAA batteries — get some here. Promising review: "I've never kept a clock in my bathroom, and as a result always found myself losing the time and running late in the morning (I know, that's my own bad habit.) Finally, I had the *genius* idea to put a clock in my bathroom, but I don't have much counter space or an extra AC outlet to plug one into, so it wasn't working out. Finally I found this battery-powered (yes!), waterproof (yes!!) clock that I could just stick to the wall on my mirror (triple yes!). I even use the countdown feature to make sure I get out the door on time. I loved it so much I got a second to put inside my actual shower (I used to hang a watch over the towel rack to keep time) and I couldn't be happier. Super stylish and easy to use. Whenever guests come by, they want to know where they can get one and are stunned by the reasonable price. Love it!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in four colors). 31.

Amazon Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has to say about it:"I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So, even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!" Promising review: "This has saved me so much time switching between brushes. A few swipes and all the shadow that was on your brush comes off completely." — Stacey Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 33.
