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.
1. A small lamp that'll cast a sunset or sunrise light in the room. If you're upset it gets dark at 4:30 p.m. now, and you can't take a sunset walk anymore because it's during your working hours, this will be a great way to bring those calming colors back into your life.
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp as a gift for my husband. We just set up a room in the basement where he keeps his records, films, musical instruments, and other fun stuff. We call it the music listening room — he has a stressful job so he really enjoys going down to the basement and listening to a record and turning on some nice mood lighting. I ordered the sunset lamp as a complement to the theme of the room and we just love it. The closer you are to the wall, the more of a defined a circle it will cast, and the farther back you move the lamp you will see more of an ambient light instead. It’s a really cool light that looks great next to our other eclectic lights, lava lamps and such. When not in use, the lamp is very small and discreet, just a few inches high and sits on the desk in the room." —MBA Squared

2. A ball launcher perfect for any pet parent whose fur babies loves to run. Not only will this get the tennis ball farther than just using your arm, but it also grabs the muddy, slobbery ball from the ground, meaning you never have to touch that gross thing again. Now that, my friends, is a win for both of you.
Promising review: "While my dog struggles with the concept of returning the ball to me, she absolutely loves this! We visit a huge dog park frequently, and this lets me throw a ball far enough that she really gets to run full throttle! I could never throw it far enough on my own to keep her interested more than one or two times before getting the launcher. Now, we can spend an hour at the park playing with it. I have one super tired dog when we go home. Tired dog = happy dog = happy dog mom. I also love that I don't have to pick up the slimy ball with my hands anymore, especially after she drops it in a puddle, because the launcher picks it right up. My dog gets so excited when she sees the launcher that she will bounce back and forth in front of me until I throw the ball. I only regret not buying one of these earlier!" —C. Fritzche
Get it from Amazon for $7.95+ (originally $11.99+; available in seven sizes and seven lengths).
3. An "After Coffee" notepad with three separate sections to help you take a second in the morning (maybe while you're enjoying your first cup) to split up your to-do list into your top priorities, what can be done later, and what can be done tomorrow. This will help you focus on what needs to get done without getting overwhelmed.
This Black woman-owned business makes super cute apparel, prints, notepads, and more! This notepad is 6x8 inches and has 50 sheets to help coordinate all your to-dos.
Promising review: "Love this to-do list! It matches my current needs to prioritize and keep it simple! (Rather than just making a long list that is not in order.) The quality is great with the paper feeling a bit thicker than printer paper. It is larger than expected — a pleasant surprise!" —Amanda Gillis
Get it from Godly Gorgeous on Etsy for $17.
4. A digital luggage scale so you don't have to spend any time worrying about finding out your bag is overweight at the airport and then trying to rearrange while you're suitcase it open on the floor, for the whole airport to see. 😳 Maybe this is a very specific fear that I personally have, but owning this scale will ensure that you never have to pay an overweight baggage fee again.
Promising review: "This luggage scale is so handy and is great for weighing your luggage. I was a little concerned before I got it because I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. When I used it when I went on vacation, it was dead-on to what the airport said, so I highly recommend this. Plus, it’s easy to pack in your bags." —Teresa Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in eight colors and as a two-pack).
5. A false eyelash applicator reviewers swear is so easy to use, even for beginners. Applying false lashes should not be a difficult task, and yet it somehow is? Well, here's your solution that you'll be so thankful for when every holiday party and celebration sneaks up on you.
Promising review: "This is very easy to use and affordable. I was able to put on my lashes in no time. I can't believe I use to apply my lashes without this amazing tool. I place my lashes directly in the center and adjust the ends. My lashes go on in one minute less with this tool." —CITY Beauty
Get it from Amazon for $4.98 (available in four colors).
6. A FURemover Broom that works to remove pet *and* human hair from deep in your carpet that your vacuum can't reach. Plus, it has a squeegee edge so you can also use it to clean your shower, windows, and even car windshield. We love a multipurpose product!
Promising review: "This sucker is magic. I bought mine three years ago and it still works. I use it to scrape up the dog hair that gets embedded in my living room rug. (We have two basset hounds who are constantly shedding.) The vacuum gets a lot of it, but even after I run the vacuum I can drag this broom over the rug and drag up entire piles of dirt and fur that were missed. It's also great on my kitchen tile. We have a dog door in our kitchen, so our two bassets are always dragging in dirt and making messes. This works better than a broom because it works like a squeegee — nothing gets caught in the broom fibers, and it can clean up damp/wet messes as well." —yetanotherstephanie
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in seven styles).

7. A microwave pasta cooker, because waiting for water to boil is the WORST part of making pasta. What's the saying about watching paint dry? Well, when you're hungry, boiling water is worse than that.
Plus, it's super easy to use. Use measure how much pasta you want to cook using the serving size holes in the top of the container. Then add water to the level etched on the side of the container. With the lid off, heat the container in the microwave. One serving usually takes about 12 to 13 minutes. Then put the lid on, hold the sides, and pour the water out. (This part will be very hot.)
Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I’ve been cooking for more than 50 years. Pasta has always been a simple, go to, dinner for me. Tending to the boiling pot of pasta was just part of the process. I’ve been getting 'tired' of cooking as I’ve aged. This simple little microwave pasta cooker has simplified cooking so much more than I could have imagined. It seems silly, but it’s kinda like a little miracle. No more toting a heavy pot to the stove. No more pouring pasta and boiling water into a colander. It’s simple, lightweight, and foolproof. You’ll never regret buying this." —Winkie
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (originally $22.99).
8. A soundproofing strip to help block out all the surrounding noise so you don't have to hear the music that your upstairs neighbor decides to put on at 2 a.m. Some of us like to sleep!!!
PLUS: This also makes sure that your air-conditioning and heat doesn't escape under your doors, thus saving you energy and money!
Promising review: "This product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation. I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Hernandez
Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in two lengths and four colors).
9. 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 $11.79.
10. 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 $13.87.
11. A herb mincer, roller, and slicer so you can speed up the prep before you actually start cooking. I swear the smallest ingredients are always the most time consuming — looking at you, cilantro!!
Promising review: "I feel safe using, cleaning, and storing this mincer. It fits nicely in the palm for easy mincing. The blades are easily removed for cleaning and equally as easy to reattach. And the blades retract for safe storage." —Katie Melber
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors).
12. A pack of DressWeights designed to prevent you from having a Marilyn Monroe moment when you decide to wear a dress, only to have it ~spring~ up at a moment's notice. That's not a problem you'll have wearing one of these.
Dress Strong is a small, woman-owned business based in New York City. The weights are reusable and the adhesive on the back should last for about six uses (with proper care).
Promising review: "What an amazing invention! I had my bridesmaids use these for my destination wedding. I got married outside by a very windy gazebo and they worked like a charm. Highly recommend!" —kimberlyo143
Get them from Dress Strong on Etsy for $15+ (available in five set options).
13. A rechargeable lighter so you can light candles in seconds with a simple switch. Then when it runs out, you simply have to charge it instead of going out to buy a new one.
Promising review: "We've bought several of these, and they work better than expected and are so much more efficient than the disposable butane lighters. They're easy to charge and light candles almost as fast as butane, but last many times longer." —Seussbd
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors).
14. A moisture meter you place in the soil of your plants to see exactly how much water it's getting. If you love having real plants in your home but struggle with remembering the last time you watered each one, this is a great tool to have so your plant babies are always getting the perfect amount of water.
Promising review: "This item is great. I can check how wet my plants are down where the roots are. So no more over watering! It is very accurate. This works great!!" —Terri Carlson
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in three colors).
15. A mug warmer that regulates the temperature of your coffee or tea so you can nurse your drink for hours without it becoming an ice-cold beverage.
16. Dishwasher-cleaning tablets made to remove the lime and minerals built up in your dishwasher over time. If you've been feeling like your dishwasher isn't getting your dishes as clean as it once did, this is your sign to throw one of these in with your next cycle and see how much of a difference it makes.
It's recommended to use a tablet once a month. You can use these on stainless-steel and plastic tub dishwashers.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I became aware that the water softener no longer was doing its job, so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in a magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! My glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully on a monthly basis, as recommended. I can even put it on my Subscribe & Save order, so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" —Sheila
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99.
17. 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.
18. Essence's Lash Princess mascara to take your lashes to new ~heights~ and make people think you're wearing falsies, when in fact, all you did was swipe on some mascara.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product and was super impressed. I bought this on the fly after months of debate, and it being on my wishlist. My first thought was, 'why didn’t I buy this sooner'. Totally worth the money and better than any high dollar mascara I have bought. Gives the perfect 'falsie' lashes." —Kayla M Brown
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in three sizes and in three colors).
19. Some cable clips so you can organize all the cords you have and not spend 10 minutes fishing out your computer charging cord that fell behind your desk...again.
Promising review: "This is another fantastic product. I have a lot of electronics along with a lot of cords and cables. These do a great job of keeping things organized and available. No more crawling under the bed or behind the desk to recover the dropped cable!" —Ken Gunville
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $4.99.
20. The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose paste that works to clean basically everything in your house. This means you can go from scrubbing a pan to making your muddy rain boots look brand new in one swoop — no changing of cleaning products required.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
21. A car insurance and registration holder designed to perfectly fit those important documents so you can grab them easily and not search frantically for them.
Promising review: "I was searching for a flat holder that was long enough to hold my state’s registration form without having to fold it. This fit the requirements. I like the sturdy feel of it – it feels long-lasting. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it seems to have light magnetic closures that keep it together but aren't so strong as to make it difficult to open." —Rachel Bailey
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors).
22. A grout pen that'll transform your bathroom (or kitchen) floor from drab to fab by restoring it to the pristine color of yesteryear with minimal effort on your part.
Promising review: "We moved into our new home, and the shower had really yellow grout. Cleaning didn’t do anything, and I saw this grout pen online. What a saver! Otherwise, I would have just hired someone to replace my shower. I used this grout pen, and my husband was so impressed :D The tip loses its shape fast, but just pull out the TIP AND FLIPPED IT OVER, and you’ll have a new tip." —jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two tip styles).
23. An acupressure anti-nausea wristband to help make nausea and motion or morning sickness disappear so you can go on with your day without feeling awful and fighting the urge to throw up.
The band applies pressure on the P6 acupressure point that is said to help relieve nausea and vomiting.
Promising review: "I'm pretty skeptical of this kind of thing because I thought it was a placebo...put on the wrist bands and all of the sudden you feel better because you think you should. I was completely wrong. I'm 7 weeks pregnant with two kids 4 and younger and the nausea was making it so hard to get through the day as a mom and I could barely get through coming dinner for my family. These take the edge off so I hardly feel it. I can tell they work because sometimes I'll accidentally push one of the wrist bands out of place and I'll know because the nausea comes back. These are amazing and so so worth it!!" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.53.
24. A dryer vent cleaning kit you actually attach to your vacuum to suck out all the dust, lint, and other debris that's hiding in your dryer. This 2.5-foot kit will get in there deep and remove so much stuff you'll be shocked how your dryer has even worked up till this point.
Promising review: “OK, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS HOSE. My dryer was like one cycle away from catching fire, and my vacuum’s skinny hose nozzle was too short to get into my dryer vent because the nozzle widens after 6 inches. So when I saw this product go on sale I bought it and it came the next day. It came in two or three pieces that fit into each other and go over the vacuum hose. It was SO SATISFYING to watch the big clumps come out of the dryer vent! I mean my dryer was nasty. Look at the pictures. I have a German shepherd and a pit bull, so our laundry is always full of nastiness. Well, this little hose got it all and it looks brand new in there. The big clumps were hard to get through the hose at first until I realized I could pinch the opening of the hose to make it circular, which allowed the clumps to fly through. Even the sound was satisfying. I will be vacuuming under my fridge next. No dying in a fire for me.” —Bee92
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in five colors).
25. A pair of wireless sleep headphones so you can listen to music, a podcast, or even white noise to help you fall asleep without having to lay on uncomfortable earbuds that die in the middle of the night and wake you up in a panic with the "doo doot" sound.
The headphones connect via Bluetooth and have 33 feet of wireless range (meaning your phone doesn't have to be right next to you). The controls are on the forehead, which makes it comfortable for back and side sleepers, and they are made to block out ambient noise.
Promising review: "This is amazing!! I wish I would have bought sooner. My husband has a terrible snoring problem and refuses to go get help for it. I was spending more time awake and resenting him each night than I was actually sleeping. I decided to try this along with a fan app on my phone, and I have had the best sleep in years!! Holds the charge great. It is very comfortable to wear while sleeping, and it doesn’t fall off. I would recommend this to anyone in the same situation." —RG
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 14 colors).
26. A set of silicone stove-counter gap covers I'm really upset I haven't had in my home for years now because these stop all those tiny crumbs from falling down the crack, and that is so so so impossible to clean up! *shakes fists in the air*
Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in three sizes and three colors).
27. An LED neck reading light perfect for anyone who has a later bedtime than their partner and doesn't just want to lie in bed counting sheep. Put this light around your neck and it will illuminate a book in front of you, without disrupting the people asleep around you. Talk about a game-changer!
Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with this light. I use it for reading in bed and when I travel. It's comfortable, has multiple settings, is easy to use, and the battery stays charged for a long time. You can turn on either one or both sides of the light and its flexibility allows the light to be adjusted easily. I highly recommend this light for reading in bed, for outdoor walking at night, and for doing close work that requires good lighting." —Jean G
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in eight colors).
28. A set of bag sealers here to ensure that you never get excited to eat your favorite Chili & Lime Tortilla Chips from Trader Joe's, only to realize that they've gone stale with the lackluster bag clip you have. This small device uses heat to reseal any bag, leaving whatever's inside fresh and ready for you to enjoy.
Promising review: "I wish I had bought this sooner! It heats up in just a few seconds and seals completely. I use it for cereal, chips, crackers, and I even used it to seal a bag of chicken nuggets after I broke the zip seal." —Samantha131
Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two colors).
29. Light-dimming stickers to, once and for all, put an end to the small lights coming from your TV, Wi-Fi router, or whatever else you have in your room that keeps you up at night.
You get a set of 100 stickers made to fit all sorts of electronics, so you can find the ones that will work perfectly for you.
Promising review: "Ingenious little idea. I suffer from migraines, so I know how a little LED light can irritate you in an otherwise pitch-black room. This product does a great job of dimming those harsh LED indicators that EVERYTHING seems to have nowadays. They are neat, not unsightly." —Jarom A. Daszko
Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $2.89.
30. An anti-blister balm for when you're in a ~pinch~ and want to make sure that you don't get blisters from walking all day.
Promising review: "I don't normally have trouble with blisters or pain from my work shoes, but I travel regularly to Washington, DC, for work. I walk a lot while I'm there, including when it's hot and muggy in the summer, and any kind of shoe I've tried gives me blisters when I walk five miles a day with extremely sweaty feet and no socks. I thought my only options were to coat my feet in Band-Aids or bite the bullet and start wearing tights or socks in the heat, but then I found this stuff. I just got back from a week in DC in shoes that have given me blisters before, and my feet are completely fine. I did reapply in the evenings going out for dinner, but otherwise, just a few swipes on the problem spots and I was ready to go, with no painful rubbing. And, of course, the size is convenient for travel and to keep in my bag in case I do need to reapply." —L. Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in two styles).
31. A freezer tray to store the extra herbs you buy when your recipe calls for four tablespoons of fresh parsley, but the grocery store only sells it in bushels meant to serve hundreds. Ugh.
32. A weekly, bleach-free shower spray you simply spray in your shower, leave overnight, and rinse the next day. Yes, this cleaner is basically the set it and forget it of shower cleaners.
Note: Depending on how dirty your shower is, some reviewers say it takes a couple of applications to get it completely clean.
I finally bought this after putting into approximately 7,375 posts, and honestly, I'm mad at myself for not adding it to my cart sooner. I am not the biggest fan of cleaning the bathroom, especially the shower. It's just so cumbersome to get to everything and really feel like you've gotten a good clean. But this spray made it SO easy. I just spritzed my whole shower and let it sit — 24 hours later, I came back and rinsed it. I could tell there was a noticeable difference. I'm super happy with this and will always clean my shower this way from now on.
Get it from Amazon for $18.61+ (available in two scents and as a refill bottle).
33. A lid organizer because if your container drawer looks something like the picture on the left, you've def been so frustrated digging through the mishmash piles of lids trying to find the right lid that fits on the container your leftovers are already in. This gives you spots for every different size lid you own and transforms the drawer into an organized haven.
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn
Get it from Amazon for $15.89+ (available in two styles under $25).
34. 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.
35. Some Sheet Keepers, which are elastic bands with labels on them so you can keep your extra sheets neat and organized and also know which ones are full size and which ones are queen size (because it's always SO hard to tell).
Sheet Keeper is a small business based in Los Angeles!
Promising review: "Great product. Came quickly and they work great! Such a great idea to keep sheets organized and together while being able to tell what size bedding it is. Will order again for sure!" —devonhansen1
Get two from Sheet Keeper on Etsy for $13.59 (originally $15.99; available in six sizes).
36. 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: "This stuff is great! It was a game changer for my 4-year-old’s curls. Turned them from a tangled mess to beautiful ringlets. I wish I would have bought sooner." —Jessica Leyendecker
Get it from Amazon for $9.69+ (also available in a two-pack).
37. A clear toy blocker if you find yourself on the floor multiple times a day retrieving the toy that your "retriever" seems to lose under your furniture every time you turn around. It comes in two heights, can be cut to fit in the space exactly, and the tape can be removed and washed, so there's no harm to your floor. Score!
Promising review: "I wish I bought this sooner! My dog has always enjoyed the game of putting his toys under the couch and then staring at me to get them for him. It's been so nice to not have to constantly move my couch to get to the toys stuck in the middle or reach my arm under the couch any more. I had to trim the top of it a bit to get it to fit nicely and two of the pieces for the sides of the couch but it was simple. Floor should be pretty clean for best adhesion." —Anna Elfstrum
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in three sizes).
38. An easily washable drip catcher made to fit around your faucet to stop water from pooling around it every time you do the dishes. You'll be surprised at how this little thing can make such a difference in your life.
Hustle Sew Shop is a small biz based in Saint Helens, Oregon.
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina
Get it from Hustle Sew Shop on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
39. Reusable microfiber pads designed to fit your Swiffer WetJet so you can clean the floor *and* help cut down on waste.
Promising review: "I love these mop pads! They are durable enough to handle heavy-duty cleaning tasks. I used then to clean ceilings, walls, and floors with TSP to remove years of cigarette smoke from surfaces. These mop pads were so effective, even after multiple uses with this tough cleaning job! They work great to quickly clean floors around your house. They absorb and hold liquid. They are easily rinsed for multiple uses during cleaning. I will be purchasing more of these. I would rather purchase these reusable mop pads than spend more money on boxes of disposable pads. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reusable options for their Swiffer mop!" —Serena
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.61+ (also available in a pack of four and a pack of eight).
40. A set of resistance bands made with fabric, so they won't roll or snap while you're using them because you deserve to get through your whole workout without having to stop and unroll your band every couple of minutes.
Promising review: "I’m so happy with this purchase! I have found other workout bands to be annoying and slip or roll, but these bands stay put always! The fabric is wonderful and the three different strengths are perfect. I have been using them daily and highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their workouts!" —sharon kelley
Get a set of three from Amazon for $12.38+ (available in three color combinations).
41. A 3-in-1 egg separator because I can't be the only one who has had to start a recipe over multiple times because an egg yolk or shell has accidentally made its way into the bowl.
Ugh, now I'm just thinking about how much time I would have back if I had owned this years ago. Not only does it separate egg yolks from whites, but it also keeps shells from falling into the bowl and has a raised edge to help you crack the egg more easily.
Promising review: "I love this product. Just hold the separator with one hand, crack the egg on the ridge with the other, swirl the yoke until all the egg white has poured out then dump the yoke in the trash or sink. If they had these in a two- or four-egg model, I'd buy it. By far the best yoke/white separator I've owned." —Ajobe
Get it from Amazon for $7.95.
42. A pair of reusable silicone ear plugs for tuning out any unwanted noise around you (roommates, loud streets, etc.) so you can sleep through the night and wake up feeling more rested than you have in months...or years.
I live and will die professing my love for sleeping with earplugs in. Sleep is important to me (as it is for a lot of people), but I can't fall asleep or stay asleep with loud noises around me. I keep earplugs on my nightstand and put them in when I know my roommate will be coming home after I'm asleep (the door itself wakes me up). I also swear by traveling with them because you never know what kind of noise you're going to encounter in a hotel room or Airbnb.
Promising review: "I moved from a quiet apartment to a busy and loud New York City corner, and I was so worried about sleeping. Trucks, horns honking, construction, I could hear it all. These have been AMAZING! They block and muffle way more sound than I ever expected. The only downside is that wearing them for a whole night does make my ears hurt a little, but sleep is so important that I’ll deal with it, and I am hoping that my ears will even get used to them. I highly recommend these!!" —Ashley R.

43. A Thaw Claw designed to defrost meat 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 scrap your dinner plans because you forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer last night...
Plus, it was created by a Black-owned small business!
Promising review: "This is amazing. I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner. It works just as it says. Fill sink with lukewarm water, put thaw claw in, and put meat under thaw claw. 15 minutes later....... Voila! Thawed. I use this every night. If you are debating...... don't! Buy it now — you will not regret it." —Kristen

44. A beauty spatula created to help you get every last drop out of your foundation bottle. You paid real Adult money to get the fancy brand that everyone on TikTok was raving about, so you best believe that you're going to get your money's worth.
Promising review: "I used this spatula to entirely use up a glass jar of foundation. I got four full-face applications out of the remainder that wouldn't come out before. It's flexible to reach the corners and long enough to reach the bottom. Since I won't need it for foundation for a while, I may use it to more hygienically scoop moisturizer out of a jar instead of using my hands." —J. Fox

45. A pomegranate de-seeder so you never have to spend the extra money to just buy the seeds because you have no idea how to get them out on your own. It's okay — I get it. With this tool, all you'll have to do is cut the pomegranate in half, place it on top of the de-seeder, and tap it to get all the seeds out.
Seriously, where has this been my whole life?!? I've spent SO much money bying pomegranate seeds. Plus, this also comes with another attachment for juicing lemons and other citrus!
Promising review: "This is my favorite purchase of the year. Didn’t know that deseeding a pomegranate could be so easy! Bye-bye red pomegranate stains on my clothes." —Marry Howard

46. A door draft stopper reviewers swear is a great way to stop cold air from getting into your home during the winter months. Not only will you save money on your energy bill, but you'll also stop tiny critters from crawling their way into your home.
Promising review: "The circulation in our house had a constant breeze coming in from below our back door. This product took about 10 minutes to install (cut to size, removal/replacement of our door stopper), and we have no more cold air blowing in from outside! The magic of the product is its rigidity. It is hard enough to block the strong draft we have, but it's soft enough to bend over our rug. If the stopper were very hard, it would push away the rug or force the rug to roll up or buckle. For us, this product is a perfect solution to our draft issue." —Wuzaaap
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
47. An exfoliating scrub mitt you can use a couple of times a month to remove all the excess dead skin and particles on your skin that regular soap doesn't get to. It's also great for removing self-tanner and can reduce ingrown hairs while also helping increase circulation.
Promising review: "I WISH I BOUGHT THIS SOONER! I have had Keratosis Pilaris on my arms and legs for as long as I can remember. I have tried numerous products that claimed they would help but nothing has... Until this!! I have only used it once, and I already see and feel an incredible difference. Stop reading the reviews if you are looking for something to help with those annoying bumps, and buy this right now — you will NOT regret it!! I honestly cannot believe the dermatologists didn't tell me about this when they told me about all the other products I should try, which never worked — but this thing is a true game changer!! Just make sure you moisturize really well after — I use Cerve Moisturizing Cream — its super thick and doesn't smell the best, but its great for sensitive skin." — Samantha Goldman
Get it from Amazon for $5.50+ (available in two styles).
48. 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 business 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.
Get it from Cleanzy Sponges on Etsy for $9.99.
49. A cap organizer reviewers confirm is a super easy way to store hats (though they recommend a wood hanger as it's stronger). It can also be used to hold scarves or other accessories.
Each cap organizer can hold up to 10 items.
Promising review: "These are the best things I have found to store my husband's hats. Especially without taking up a ton of space in the closet or on a door. I absolutely recommend a wood hanger. I had to use two double plastic hangers until I could get a wood hanger. Even the two plastic hangers sag and didn't seem sturdy. But these things are great. I used the other one to store scarves and tank tops. Gave me tons more space in my closet. Great prices, well made, and multiple uses! I will actually order more to help with closet space." —Shannon H.
Get it from Amazon for $7.89+ (available in four quantities and in seven colors).
50. An EZ Off jar opener, because I can't be the only one who's abandoned making dinner and simply ordered takeout because I couldn't get a jar open.
This little gadget can not only open jars, but also other hard lids (like on plastic bottles). Just put it in the corner and twist for easy opening.
Promising review: "I wish I would've bought this sooner!!! I don’t take time to write many reviews, but I wanted to let everyone know this is the best thing I’ve purchased in a long time. I installed it a little different than the instructions per a few reviews I read. I put the bottom of the V Pointed towards me that way when I open the jar I have a little more strength to open it. This thing works every time for anything that I’ve had to open from small tiny ketchup bottle lids to large pickle jars. It was easy to install. I just have the adhesive strips at this time but will be putting the small screws in soon know that I know it works. I just turned 61, and I have struggled for so many years even in my younger years opening pickle jars, etc…I am very happy with this. You will be so happy you bought this after you open your first jar that you struggle with." —Bobbie H

51. A milk frother to transform your boring old coffee into something straight out of a coffee shop. There's no need to put on a jacket and venture out of the house during the cold winter mornings when you can make your own delicious brew at home.
Promising review: "A MUST-have. All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that is comes with a cute holder for it." —Kayla Dillinger
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 27 colors).
52. A double-sided electronics cleaning brush that'll give your computer a good deep clean, because when you work where you live, sometimes your laptop becomes a movie screen at night where a few popcorn crumbs somehow get into the keyboard. 🤷🏻♀️
The soft bristles help sweep away dust and crumbs. Plus, the bristles retract for optimal storage.
Promising review: "I WFH, so my laptop as accumulated its fair share of crumbs, dust, and other debris. This was the perfect cleaning tool. The brush side easily sweeps away particles and the rubbery wedge side helps to scrub out gunk in-between keys. The best part is that it easily fits into the penholder on my desk." —Andrea G.
Get it from Amazon for $8.94+ (available in two colors and two styles).
53. A pair of horizontal glasses to help you read, watch TV, or play games while in the perfect, most comfortable position possible. Plus, they prevent neck and eye strain!
These glasses are great for everyone, but especially for people who are bedridden.
Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd
Get them from Amazon for $11.98.
54. A steaming microwave cleaner accurately named the "Angry Mama" because it's what your mom would look like if she saw how dirty your microwave was. This gadget works to dislodge the food and dirt inside the microwave so you can easily wipe the mess away. Save the scrubbing for the Scrub Daddy.
Just fill the gadget with water and vinegar and put it in the microwave. It's made of heat-resistant materials and is also top rack-dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "It usually takes me 10 minutes of scrubbing to get my microwave clean each week. I filled to the line with vinegar and put her in for seven minutes. Once almost done I removed her and easily wiped the mess up in only a few minutes. I would buy again even if she didn't come with instructions. She does produce a vinegar smell so next time I will add lemon juice as others suggested." —Teli
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (originally $9.98).
55. A wine stain-removing spray, because you shouldn't be held responsible for any spills that happen during happy hour or movie night. Red wine is too good not to drink out of fear of ruining your clothes, furniture, or anything else that gets in its way!
I can confirm that this works and works well. I've used it a number of times to remove different kinds of stains — red wine, rosé, and even berries. It got a rosé out of white T-shirt instantly and even removed red wine from my white/grey rug. It's super easy to use too. You just spray it on the stain, let it sit for a bit and scrub it away. I like to always have this on hand now because accidents happen.
Promising review: "This stuff is like a miracle on those tough red wine or dark berry stains! Even works well on dark chocolate! My husband is the 'Stain King,' and on our last vacation he put some berries from a buffet into the pocket of his brand new khaki shorts (Why, you ask? Never got a good answer for this one!). As you can then figure, the berries, during the course of the day and while riding home in the suitcase got mashed up and stained the shorts pretty badly. (Luckily they didn't get on anything else in the suitcase.) When I unpacked, the stains had set for about two days, and I thought the shorts were going to be ruined. I saw this product online and ordered it. It got every bit of the set-in berry stains out! It was like magic, I sprayed it on, and it just DISAPPEARED! As I said, I have also had the opportunity to try it on several red wine and dark chocolate stains, and it's been a miracle for getting them out without any damage to the material. No fading at all, just takes out the stain!" —Linda R. Shinsky
Get it from Amazon for $7.95+ (available in three sizes).
56. A microwave popper that'll basically revolutionize the way you make popcorn. You'll get delicious, homemade popcorn with fresh butter in a matter of minutes and won't have to keep buying the microwave bags over and over again. Movie night has never tasted so good.
I should know, I only use this to make popcorn now. With one of these, I'm able to make as much or as little popcorn as I want, whenever I want. It's convenient and easy to use. Plus, you're not throwing away single-use popcorn bags all the time!
Promising review: "LOVE this popcorn popper! So easy to use and no mess! There’s measuring lines inside the bowl, so need to take out the measuring cups. The popcorn setting on my microwave was fine, but every microwave is different. I love that it collapses and stores more easily. I wish I had bought this sooner!" —joan
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 18 colors).
57. An ergonomic, angled pen specifically designed for all you lefties out there who have struggled for years with smearing and smudging ink as you write. With this pen, you'll be able to decipher what your notes says (unless you can't read your own handwriting, but I can't help with that 🤷🏻♀️.)
Basically magic.
Promising review: "My dad is left-handed and always whines that the world needs to catch up with lefties. I bought him these pens as a gag gift...basically to mess with him. I mean really, left-handed pens? Anyways, when he received them, he thought they were hysterical. He works in a school and is always writing. He tried the pen just to play with it and fell in love. He told me these pens are amazing, the best thing he has ever written with. I am right-handed, obviously, and I tried to use the pen in my right hand, thinking it would be like any other pen. It is very uncomfortable in the right hand. It really is contoured for the left hand. If you know someone who is left-handed and can't find the perfect present, these pens are it. I plan on buying a lot more of these dumb pens. They are pricey, but well worth it. If I could give it more stars, I would." —Castryn

58. 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
Get a pack of four bands from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four pack sizes and five colors).
59. A Bracelet Mate so you're never stuck home alone struggling to put on a bracelet by yourself.
Promising review: "I can't believe I've waited this long to buy one of these. My eyesight is failing, including my depth perception so wearing bracelets has been difficult unless they are slip-on. This jewelry helper is easy to use. Now I can wear bracelets again." —Cat Mom
