1. A "cat dancer" toy that for only a couple of dollars will bring both you and you cat a whole lot of joy as they jump and chase the toy around the room. Just imagine the views you'd get when you're the one to bring it to TikTok.
Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go crazy. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo

2. An Acure brightening facial scrub – it basically works like magic to help remove acne scars and give your skin a refresh.
Promising review: "I am in LOVE with this facial scrub. I’ve had this for almost two weeks now, and I love the way my skin is glowing! I have sensitive skin, so I have to really be careful with the products I choose. Even after one use, you start to see a difference. It moisturizes, exfoliates, and leaves your skin smooth. I didn’t even need to apply a moisturizer afterwards! Definitely a must-have!" —Mizza C.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
3. An auto-shutoff outlet for anyone who has stopped in a cold panic after they leave their house trying to remember if they've turned off their curling iron or straightener (🙋🏻♀️). Simply put this in the outlet, plug your device in, and hit the button to set the timer. Then you can go about your day knowing that you won't accidentally burn your house down.
That can't be a fear just I have, right? Right??? You can set the timer on this for one, two, four, or eight hours, or just put it on hold.
Promising review: "I'm very pleased with this. I use it mainly for at-home hair styling. I often like to leave my styling wand on for last-minute touch ups before leaving early in the morning but, in haste, I often get on the freeway and worry that I forgot to unplug it. No more worries with this attached to the plug. I wish I'd gotten it sooner." —JDubya
Get it from Amazon for $11.60.
4. A detangling leave-in conditioner parents swear by to tame frizz, reduce breakage, and hydrate curls, all while avoiding a meltdown of epic proportions as they try to brush their child's hair.
Promising review: "I bought this for my 2-year-old, she has these GORGEOUS curls that I was not blessed with, but they were frizzy and dull looking. I saw this product had incredible reviews and decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. Since you can put it on damp or dry hair, I put it in her hair right when it arrived (which was dry at the time), gave it a couple of 'scrunches', and her curls have never looked better. The best part — they have lasted through nap time and the following day. I would highly recommend!" —Grace
Get it from Amazon for $9.69.
5. A Dole-whip scented candle for all the Disney fans out there who dream about the delicious treat as soon as they leave the park. Not only do reviewers swear this candle smells EXACTLY like a Dole whip, but it also looks like it, too.
Relive the Magic at Home is a family-run small biz started by a mother and daughter to bring their "Happy Place" (aka Disney) home with them. They offer a selection of candles inspired by Disney treats, magic, and princesses, as well as stickers and more.
Promising review: "I am a massive Disney person, but my husband? Not as much. However, he will not leave Disneyland without a Dole whip/Dole whip float. So, naturally, this was a perfect stocking stuffer. Oh. My. God. If you’re debating buying this, stop and just buy it! It was packaged safely AND sustainably, which is a big A+ from me. The product is beyond expectations! The moment I opened the box, I got hit in the face with Dole whip perfection. The smell is so spot on my 5- and 6-year-old knew it was the 'ice cream from Disneyland.' I just loved the gorgeous rainbow bow. I don’t want to take it off because it’s so cute. Anyway. This shop is amazing and so is this candle!" —Ain't That Belle
Get it from Relive the Magic at Home on Etsy for $16.50+ (available in two styles and five sticker options).
6. A burger holder, which may seem a bit strange, but it's actually super genius. It will keep all the toppings in your burger as you eat, which means they won't spill out the back or even end up on your shirt. You'll be bringing this to every bbq this summer to show off how cool it is.
Plus, it's great for times plates aren't available (road trips, etc.), and it's dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I have neuropathy, and everything I pick up to eat turns into a squashed mess, so as soon as I saw this I ordered it. First hamburger I've eaten without it turning into a mess in years. I loaded up the burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and mayo, and every bite was delicious!! I LOVE IT!!!!!" —Paul Roup
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
7. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders to make it incredibly easy for you to know which chain is for the light and which is for the fan. Plus, the chains add over a foot of length to your existing pulls, so you don't have to grab a ladder just to turn the fan on.
Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even things about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD
Get it from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two sizes and in two finishes).
8. The Ring Thing — a waterproof clip-on holder you can place your rings in at any time to keep them safe, protected, and close to you.
Ring Thing Design is a woman-owned small biz dedicated to creating stylish and functional products. A portion of each sale for this product is donated to nonprofits working to stop human trafficking.
Promising review: "I was unsure about this purchase. I didn’t think I would use it to its full potential, but man oh man was I wrong. I use it everyday. It’s where I storage my engagement ring. While at work is put it in the Ring Thing and after I am free to pop it back on. It has given me the power to shut my fiancé up when I 'forget' my ring. I NEVER FORGET NOW! It’s always with me. This is money well spent. Don’t sleep on getting yours." —Liliana
Get it from Ring Thing Designs on Etsy for $19.95.
9. A bottle of Drop It made to help reduce the sulfates and tannins from your glass of pinot noir, meaning you can enjoy a glass (or two) knowing you won't wake up with a wicked headache the next morning.
It's more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than other competitors because one bottle can be used up to 55 times. To use, add one to two drops in each glass of white one, two to three for each glass of red, or seven to nine to a whole bottle. Swirl it for 20 seconds after you put it in, and the glass is ready to drink.
Promising review: "I really was skeptical when I bought it. I always have headaches when I drink red wine. 🍷 From the moment I started using these drops I noticed that I had no headaches at all when I woke up! It’s a must-have, and I told all my friends about it, great gift idea! You won’t be sorry." —VRed
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
10. A flip top you can attach to your bottles to make sure you get EVERY. LAST. DROP. Hey, if you shelled out a little too much money for the "AMAZING" shampoo, you should do whatever you can to use the whole bottle.
Promising review: "No more wasting product. I love these so much I had to get the six-pack so I can use them around the house for everything. I love that once the bottle is done, you just clean this lid and put it on something else. I love that the bottles don’t fall while the product is slowly dripping inside the bottle, and if you use the stoppers, it doesn’t leak. The only thing is I wish it came with a lot more stoppers other than that. This is a must-have in your house." —Em
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $25.
11. A pair of fuzzy slippers with mops on the bottom to keep your feet warm and your floors clean, which is something I never thought I'd type but, like, good for them (and you!). We love a multipurpose product that gets things done while you go about your business in your home.
Promising Review: "I buy mopping slippers. Yup, that's right. This isn't my first pair... I have a 2-year-old and they're great for mopping up little splashes and drops of water from doing dishes and the extra padding is nice. No paper towels wasted, and it's immediate. Plus, these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy [fun] for this functional novelty item. My last pair did not have this detachable mopping bottom. I enjoy washing the top and bottom parts as I think it's cleaner, but it's a nice feature." —G. Kim
Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in multiple colors, adult sizes, and kid sizes).
12. A toilet night-light designed with a sensor so it will turn on as soon as you stumble into the bathroom, eyes closed. You won't have to turn on the light, which always wakes you up, causing it to take longer for you to fall back asleep.
It is an LED light and has 16 colors that can either be solid or rotate between all of them.
Promising review: "This seemingly silly little gadget has turned out to be great! The light level (brightness) can be dimmed down if desired, and the color can be set to whatever you want, but the bottom line is that you don't need to turn on a bright overhead light (which wakes me up and makes me angry, not a good combination) when you need to go into the bathroom at night. Cleaning it is a breeze, too; what seems like it's going to be a problem...isn't. I can't recommend this toilet night-light highly enough, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Could be on the gift list this December." —Wandergurrlee
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
13. Some Miracle-Gro spikes here to make everyone think you're the best plant parent around when in reality you can't remember the last time you watered your plant babies. Was it last Wednesday? No, maybe Tuesday? What are days anymore??? These discreet sticks go into the dirt of your plant and feed them micronutrients for up to two months, leaving them looking beautiful and adding life to your home.
Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violet plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth
Get a 48-pack from Amazon for $3.62.
14. A six-port outlet designed to swivel to the sides so you can discretely plug in all your electronics *and* put your sofa right up to the wall. I'm pretty sure this is what Hannah Montana was referring to when she sang, "You get the best of both worlds..." (Or actually what a grown-up Hannah Montana would be singing about.)
This even has two USB ports. Bless.
Promising review: "Where has this thing has been my whole life...?! I've struggled with plugging and unplugging my phone charger and lamp behind my bed for the longest time. My poor husband didn't even get an outlet — he had to charge his phone across the bedroom. This device has been super convenient because now he and I can simply plug our charging cables into the usb outlets along the top of the plug. This completely eliminates having to bother plugging the block up at all. Then, the outlets themselves twist to the sides instead of straight out like a normal outlet. I've got a whole side dedicated for what I need plugged in — a lamp and now a white noise machine. The other side twists to the right, so my husband can plug in whatever he needs. No more cables getting smooshed and bent...no more struggling to plug something in behind the bed. Well done and thanks for making such a smart product! Very convenient." —Amazonaholic
Get it from Amazon for $26.85.
15. The Elizavecca Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask that bubbles after you put it on your face. While it works to reduce blackheads, you can entertain yourself by filming a video of it that's bound to go viral on TikTok. I mean just look at how much enjoyment it will bring the internet (and you)!
It has over 11,600 (!!!!) 5-star ratings and comes with an application spatula.
Promising review: "Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn't expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn't sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don't remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It's also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn't see near these results from)." —Phil Textor
Get it from Amazon for $11 (also available in a two- or three-pack).
16. A set of magnetic locks for anyone who needs to baby proof their home but doesn't want it to scream "EVERYTHING IS BABY-PROOFED." These hidden locks are actually installed using tape (to not damage the wood) and make it so your little one can't open the drawer or cabinet.
The set comes with 12 locks that have strong 3M double-sided tape on the back and two keys.
Promising review: "We have a toddler and have moved several times since she started getting into things. Every time I'm stuck installing child locks that require hardware or squeezing fingers into tight spots to operate. These are a huge improvement on every front. Install in moments, adhere wonderfully, and the magnet key is a game changer. Not to mention, the ability to disable the lock when you know you're going to be in and out of the cabinet for a bit. Can't recommend enough." —Jared
Get a set from Amazon for $33.99.
17. A magnetic ironing pad designed to snap right on to your washer or dryer, so you don't have to keep that big and bulky ironing board around that's also the main reason you don't end up actually ironing your clothes.
Promising review: "If you're like me and living in a space that doesn't have a ton of room let alone space for a big old ironing board, this is the perfect solution. This mat easily sticks with the magnets to the top of the dryer. It's a great space-saving solution. If you're looking to minimize, this is what you want!" —JD
Get it from Amazon for $12.87.
18. A StirMate automatic pot stirrer that'll basically be your sous chef when you don't have any help in the kitchen. It stirs whatever is in your pot while you focus on the next steps in your recipe.
The device self-adjusts to fit pots from 6–12 inches in diameter and 3–9 inches in depth. The motor will stir for up to 13 hours per charge and then only takes 30 minutes to recharge.
Promising review: "I love this device. It will slave over the stove stirring your soups, sauces, and candies all day without a complaint or tiring. Now I cook things that I enjoyed serving and eating but hated all that stirring. No more burnt pots and ruined recipes due to under-stirring. It’s a little costly, but once you use it, you will never be without it. I may even buy another one to handle all of my stirring. This would also make a perfect gift." —Steve Bruss
Get it from Amazon for $67.57.
19. A magnetic cat AirPod holder just purrrfect for setting on your desk to make sure you always know where your headphones are when you get up to go to the bathroom. Plus, it will bring you so much joy as you sit through yet another meeting that should have been an email.
Promising review: "One of the most useless things I’ve ever bought, and I have ZERO REGRETS. This serves no purpose other than to bring joy and happiness to all." —Kayla Marie
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five styles and also in a pack of five).
20. A knife specifically designed to make a clean cut through tomatoes so you don't have the juice squirting out everywhere, making a mess in your kitchen. You'll be surprised just how much of a difference this makes when crafting your delicious salad for lunch.
Promising review: "I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." —Jane S.
Get it from Amazon for $15.75.
21. A hard-boiled egg timer so you don't have to google "How to make hard-boiled eggs?" every time you try because you can never remember how long it takes. Just plop this in the water with your eggs, and the color will change to show you how boiled they are, taking all the guesswork out of it. It's an ~egg-cellent~ lil' gadget, I say.
Promising review: "Is this 100% necessary? No...however, it does make one thing a little easier for me in the morning. Instead of watching the pot and waiting for the water to boil to start the timer you can just put the NobelEgg in the pot with your eggs, start the heat and just wait for your eggs to be done. Can't wait to give some as gifts!" —BaileyBoo
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
22. Gold Eye Treatments masks packed with collagen to reduce under eye bags and help soften fine lines, while also making you feel as royal as the characters in The Crown. Now if only you had staff to bring you breakfast in bed while you wear these...
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jasmin Sandal says: "I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purple-y, puffy eyes, and...w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my under eyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn't feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day. Now, I find that I integrate these into my routine anytime I want to let my skin breathe free of makeup."

23. A set of seat gap fillers so you'll never experience the feeling of having your phone fall between the seat and the center console while you're driving, knowing it's going to take about 10 minutes to retrieve it from the black hole down there.
24. A pound of cereal marshmallows, because you're an adult with adult money, so it's only appropriate that you reward your inner child and purchase something you've always wanted — a bag full of delicious marshmallows. No need to pretend to eat the rest of the Lucky Charms when you only bought the box for the marshmallows.
Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
25. A SockDock because I am convinced that socks plan their escape every time you put them in the wash. I mean, where do they go and how do I always end up with three lone socks after doing my laundry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.??? This genius invention will save you from ever searching for your missing socks again.
SockDock is a small business founded by Kevin Bunn in March 2017 after he got so frustrated losing socks while doing laundry.
Promising review: "For the last six years, I have lost literally dozens of socks. No one would fess up to having them stuffed in their drawers or crammed underneath their beds. So, it must be the sock gnomes or if you are familiar with Family Guy. I have been using the SockDock for about a month, I've washed about three or four loads and guess what, not one sock lost. It does take some commitment to load soiled socks on the tree, but it's worth the effort. They come out of the wash, and you just hang them up and pull fresh ones off. I highly recommend if you can commit yourself to the process." —S. Peterson
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
26. A pair of no-drip cleansing cuffs here to revolutionize the way you wash your face. They're easy to slip on and will catch all the water and soap before it makes its way to your clothes as you give your face the scrub it deserves.
La Beautyologist is a Black woman-owned small, LA-based skincare business!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Genevieve Scarano says: "My sweatshirt sleeves ALWAYS get wet when I wash my face. It's really tricky to keep them dry because I use creamy cleansers that require a little more rinsing than other products. I decided to try these cozy cuffs, and they make such a difference in my skincare routine. They protect my sleeves from getting drenched and make self-care time a little more fun. They're also machine washable!"

27. A migraine headache stick small enough to toss in your bag and quickly grab when you feel a headache coming on to help stop it in its tracks before it ruins your whole day.
Promising review: "We love! I’m in the process of studying for my bar exam, and needless to say, I’ve had numerous stress headaches. I WISH I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS SOONER. It’ll be perfect for testing day once I take the label off, just a quick roll on, and I’m able to focus. But as of now, I keep it in my pencil bag, and I use it when necessary." —Purchaser

28. A plug-in color-changing mushroom light just perfect for adding a touch of cottagecore to your bedroom. *And* it will light the way when you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. We love a product that puts the fun in functional.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
29. A natural sweater pill remover made from upcycled car windshield glass that'll remove any pills from your sweaters, towels, bedding, and more to make them look as good as new.
Celsious is a Black woman-owned and environmentally focused laundromat *and* online shop based in Brooklyn.
BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "Like many of you, I've been living in sweats and PJs during this almost-year of WFH full time. And it's made me revisit the state of some of my loungewear. Take for example, this college sweatshirt I wear all the time — as evidenced by the rather EXTENSIVE pilling all over it. So when I saw this pumice-esque sweater stone (it's made from upcycled car windshield glass — how cool is that?!), I decided it was worth the try. We've featured electric pill removers (mostly the fan-favorite Conair one) many times, and they really work. But sometimes you're looking for a little more detail or control — that's where this stone comes in handy.
I was able to navigate around the contours of the logo on my sweatshirt with ease, removing pills using the corner or the entire flat bottom in a few quick strokes. It truly took no time at all — the sweatshirt was done in mere minutes. The only thing I would note is that particles do "fall out" of the stone, so do your pill-removing on a surface that's easy to sweep or vacuum up at the end."
Get it from Celsious for $13.
30. A NodPod — a weighted blanket-sleep mask hybrid that blocks 100% of the light and gives your head some comforting pressure. And as an added bonus, one side is hot and the other side is cool, so you can pick your temperature preference!
Nodpod is a woman-founded small business that specializes in these sleep masks.
Promising review: "There's something about placing this weighted thing on my eyes when I'm tossing and turning that lulls me back to sleep. The shape of it is a bit weird — it's not a typical eye mask, it's much bulkier and doesn't fasten on in the same way — but once you get beyond that, this can really be a beautiful thing. I keep it on my bedside table and use it if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep (which happens often) or once the sun rises, and I want to sleep in a little more. If you have sleep issues, I'd recommend trying this novel product." —Veronicam
Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in 10 colors).
31. An inflatable lounge chair for when you want to go hang out in the park or beach but realize the ground is not a great place to lounge. The chair weighs less than three pounds, is easy to fill, and super comfortable (according to reviewers).
Promising review: "What a brilliant idea! This chair is super compact and lightweight, and EXTREMELY easy to inflate. You don't need any pumps, and you don't need to blow it up with your breath, yet it inflates in a few seconds. All you have to do is spin your body 360 degrees once while holding the chair out. It really is that easy and it really works! What's more, the chair holds the air in — no leaking — for days, and it is incredibly comfy!!!! I have a very bad back and almost no chairs are comfortable for me to sit on, but this chair is amazingly comfortable. It creates no pressure points you because it is filled with air. You can sit upright on it or lounge on it, depending on how much air you put in and where you place your tush. I thought there had to be a catch, and that it would be difficult to fold up again and get back into the carrying case, but it wasn't. My only advice is to cut off the attached metal bottle opener, as that could hit someone and hurt them when you spin around to fill up the chair." —Elizabeth Schiff
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in two colors).
32. A reusable weighted bottle cleaner guaranteed to get your water bottles cleaner than a regular sponge and your human hands can. Simply put this in the bottle with some soapy water, and shake it up to get ALLL the gunk out. *Adding a little dance while you shake is optional.*
This small biz was started when the founder, John, had trouble cleaning drink containers. This lil' gadget makes it so much easier to get your bottles clean. Each sponge lasts about four months.
Promising review: "The Cleanzy Sponges are awesome!! They are so easy to use, and they really clean your water bottles! I actually don’t mind cleaning my water bottles now! I received the Cleanzy Sponges pretty quick, too! It’s definitely worth the money, and they are cute!" —Sharon Baker
Get it from Cleanzy Sponges on Etsy for $9.99.
33. A "Purse Gummy," which you stick to the strap of your bag so that dang thing doesn't slip off your shoulder as you go about your day. It's a small thing that can be really annoying when you're out running errands and bend down to tie your shoe. UGH!
Promising review: "I recently bought a high-quality leather shoulder strap handbag and was having problems with it sliding off my shoulder, since the leather strap was fairly smooth. So I went online and searched to see if there were any products out there that would solve this issue...and I found the Purse Gummy! It works beautifully! No more struggling with a slipping strap. It is hardly noticeable on the strap since it is on the underside, but I wouldn't mind it if was seen because it works so well." —D. Dillon
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three colors).
34. Bed bands that'll work super hard to keep the corners of your fitted sheet in place so they don't pop off and try to escape every chance they get. Plus, this means you won't have to fight to get the sheet on all four corners as often — that itself is a chore.
Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY...SINGLE...NIGHT. To say this is life changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." —TinkerbellAPixie

35. A Magic Castle suncatcher so you can add some magic to your home as it reflects rainbow lights all over the room. Keep an eye out for the hidden Mickey ears in the reflections!!!
This California-based Etsy shop has been specializing in Disney decor since 2017. A portion of sales proceeds from every purchase goes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Promising review: "Yay! I love this sticker. It's so fun to see the rainbows shine through on a sunny day. I miss my trips to Disneyland so much and it's always a reminder to me that greater times are ahead and we won't be stuck in this situation forever. Love it so much!" —Jessica Ritter

36. A bacon sponge for a green solution to getting rid of excess grease from foods like bacon. It is made with organic cotton "unpaper" towel, absorbs 20 times faster than other materials, and is reusable and compostable. Sunday brunch will never be the same.
This woman-owned small business is based in Denver, Colorado.
Promising review: "This is great. I don’t like using loads of paper towels in draining meat, but I didn’t know what else to use. The bacon sponge is absorbent and easy to clean. It performs as advertised and makes me feel better about eliminating another source of waste." —PamelaRenee
Get it from Green City Living from Amazon Handmade for $14.99.
37. A Lay-n-Go cosmetic bag that fans out to become a mat. This means you don't have to spend any time digging trough your bag looking for your favorite highlighter you *know* you packed but can't seem to find in the mess of the rest of your makeup. When it's time to leave, just cinch up the bag, throw it in your suitcase, and you can be on your way.
Promising review: "I was tired of fumbling around in my cosmetics case and saw this. I was skeptical, but...WOW! On my recent two-week trip to Europe, with constant laying out and packing up, this item was wonderful. I could find what I wanted quickly, right away. Packing up was just a matter of pulling the drawstring. At first I wasn’t sure about changing to this bag, but now I could not do without it." —Mojosharkey
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes and 25 colors and patterns).
38. Flavored bubbles made with a pet-safe bubble concentrate so your BFF can enjoy running and jumping around as they try and pop the bubbles. This is something that will bring *both* of you so much joy.
Sniffingtons is a small Greenville, South Carolina-based shop specializing in enrichment products for dogs and cats!
Promising review: "My pup, Toby, is a 2.5-year-old cavalier who loves bubbles. After catching them, he’d often give us an 'ewww' look, as they tasted like soap. Until these. He LOVES these bubbles and seems to love the taste of them, too! I will gladly buy these again and continue letting him feed his bubble-obsession in a tasty way! In addition, when I needed help with my order, Ash was so kind and gave me the help I needed! Highly recommend this shop!" —Elizabeth
Get it from sniffingtons on Etsy for $8.50 (available in 10 scents).
39. A sand-free beach blanket designed so that sand rolls right off it. You can pack it up without worrying you'll find sand covering everything else in your bag weeks later.
Promising review: "This was amazing. Very easy to store. It can push right down into the bottom of your pack or you can stuff it into its own pocket. I took this to the beach four days in a row. It got sand and rain on it, but the only thing that didn’t easily brush off was bbq sauce. There were also pockets to hide things in. We stuffed our keys and phones in there when no one was looking." —Ti'Ki
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors).
40. A clip-on strainer brilliantly designed to fit in any size pot or pan, so you can drain water, grease, or any other liquid without using a bulky (and hard to clean) colander.
I recently picked one of these up, and it is such a game changer. I have hated using a colander so much. It's so bulky, hard to use, and takes SO much time to clean. This solves all those problems. I've clipped it on various pots and pans, and it's fit every single one. It makes it ridiculously easy to strain the water out of the pasta and even the excess fat from ground beef. I'm throwing my old colander away because it will never be used now that I have this genius tool!
Promising review: "Love, love, love this pasta strainer!!! My husband and I hate cleaning out the strainer, so I ordered this to make life easier. OMG, does it make life easier!!! If this ever breaks, I’ll be ordering another! It’s very sturdy and easy to use. Absolutely love it!" —ShylohsRedShadow
Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in four colors).
41. A split bedding set here to save your relationship from another night of fighting over the covers. The blanket is split down the middle but still attached at the end, so you both stay comfortable (and warm) all night, but it's still easy to make the bed in the morning.
Promising review: "My husband and I love this blanket. We are always pulling the blankets back and forth during the night and usually I end up freezing. This split blanket solved our problem! I also love the blanket isn't split at the bottom making it easy to make the bed." —KYmom
Get the blanket from Uncommon Goods for $85+ (available in two sizes and two colors; also available in a set containing a fitted and a flat sheet and pillowcases for $125).
42. A pack of Munchkin snack catchers that are actually made to be spill-proof. You can turn these upside down and shake as hard as you want (as shown below), and not one snack will end up on the floor. Everyone in your household will love them...well...everyone except maybe the dog who thrives on those dropped treats.
Promising review: "As a new mom, I didn't even know something like this existed. It's super helpful for car rides and when shopping with baby. I just bought it for my son at 13 months, and after two or three uses, he picked it up right away. Now snacks are easily eaten anywhere and with little-to-no mess! Wish I would have bought this sooner, but now I know for the next one." —Geraldine Brophy
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6 (available in two color combos and as a set of four).
43. A Luminoodle, which is a LED lighting strip you place around the back of your TV. It will brighten up the whole viewing experience by creating a sharper image, increasing color contrast, *and* reducing eye strain.
This can be great, especially if you're staring at the TV for hours on end. It has 15 color and 10 brightness levels, plus three fade modes.
Promising reviews: "Don’t mess around with the other lights with complicated remotes and colors, just get a warm 6500 white, and plug it in. Easy. Some people say one strip across the back is fine... maybe if you have a small tv, if you have 55” or bigger get one that is long enough for at least three sides. This light is a serious game changer, reduces eye stress, makes the contrast and blacks appear better, and the wow factor when people see it. You don’t have to tell anyone it was only $10!! Again don’t waste money on colors and another remote to clutter your room, spend it on length. And get this light!!" —kristian suson
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in nine sizes).
44. A microfiber window blind cleaner designed with three blades that clean the top and bottom of two blinds at once. It'll pick up all the dust you hadn't really realized had been casually sitting in your home.
The cleaner also comes with five microfiber duster clothes.
Promising review: "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." —marionvgt
Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in green).
45. A no-tangle dual dog leash for anyone who spends more time untangling their dogs leashes than actually getting a walk in. The leash will keep both dogs happy, no matter their size difference.
Plus, you also get a poop bag dispenser and training clicker.
Promising review: "This leash is FANTASTIC! I have a 70 lb. dog and a 26 lb. dog, and they can now walk together without problem. The stretchy part of the leash makes a huge difference in absorbing the shock from sudden moves. The handle part is quite comfortable. This leash has made walking the dogs so much easier. I was a little worried about how it would work with a big dog and a medium dog on the same leash, but it's been great." —CWilli00
Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in two sizes and five colors).
46. A Thaw Claw to defrost meat up to seven times faster. All you have to do is suction it to your sink, fill the sink with water, and then put the frozen food under the claw. It will be defrosted in no time — and you'll never have to remember to take the meat out of the fridge in the morning again.
Plus, this Black-owned and invented product fits in all sinks no matter the size or type.
Promising review: "A package of frozen meat would have taken at least two days to thaw in the fridge. I used this for a 2-pound package a couple of days ago, and the meat was thawed within 90 minutes. One of the most practical kitchen gadgets I own." —Llda Schellhase
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in three colors).
