1. A blackhead scrub stick to exfoliate clogged pores and remove excess sebum. An easy way to incorporate this into your daily routine is to use it in the shower (especially when your pores are a bit more open from the steam)! Seeing how much gunk emerges from your skin will be the most satisfying part.
Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
3. An ID protecting roller stamp if you don't have space for a shredder but want to protect your information by covering up your info and address on mail and important documents. Plus it's just fun to use!
4. A waterproof shower phone holder so your next shower can be filled with whatever entertainment you like — tunes, podcasts, audiobooks, and even TV shows. Sounds like some lovely alone time to me.
Promising review: "This waterproof phone case makes listening to music and watching Netflix in the shower so easy!! It’s super easy to put your phone in, fog proof, and easily rotatable. The only thing is sometimes touching the screen through the plastic can be a little difficult, but worked most of the time! It comes with three different backs so you can move it around to many different spots in the house. I got the white color so it would match my shower." —Brittney Steele
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).
5. A container of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste that can tackle any scuff, stain, or mess like an absolute superhero. It's amazing for so many surfaces and it won't leave behind any scratches once you're finished cleaning. You may even ~enjoy~ cleaning once you have this miracle worker in your lineup.
Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" —May
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
6. A pack of motion sensor lights for sticking practically anywhere in your home for some much needed visibility. Ever try walking around at night to find the bathroom? Fumbling through your closet for that one sweater? Trip going down the stairs to get a glass of water? These lights will make your life so much easier.
Promising review: "These battery operated motion lights are great. The technology has improved so much in a short amount of time. They are much brighter than I expected and illuminate just as much as an electric lamp. They are easily mounted using the 3M double sided tape. I use them to illuminate my steps which were dark and dangerous before because I didn't want to turn on the hall light early in the morning and wake my wife. The lights always turn on meaning the motion detector is reliable and always turn on when needed. I bought one set and have since gone back to amazon to purchase two more sets. My wife calls me a light nerd but she is thankful and admits she sees the light and acknowledges their usefulness. I would give more than five stars if I could." —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.99 (available in cold white and warm white).
7. A sandwich cutter and sealer to make your own personal Uncrustables. Think: Nutella and Marshmallow Fluff Uncrustables...yum. BRB, currently drooling.
Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15.96.
8. A garbage disposal foaming cleaner that'll make you SO happy to be rid of any yucky stank coming from the drain. Watching it mesmerizingly fizz and foam will be the icing on top of the cleaning cake. #Satisfying
Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." —KS
Get a pack (four uses) from Amazon for $4.25.
9. A veggie chopper so you no longer have to *cry* massive tears over that onion you gotta chop. This nifty gadget can julienne, chop, spiralize, and slice vegetables! It has a handy compartment at the bottom where your freshly chopped produce will sit after it goes through the chopping process. I have one of these and it has actually made me enjoy cooking more.
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 $29.99+ (available in two sizes).
10. A digital luggage scale that'll give you peace of mind knowing that when you arrive at the airport, you won't have to frantically worry if your bag is going to be overweight. Plus you'll get excited to know you can bring back several souvenirs with you without going over the 50-pound bag weight limit.
You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements.
Promising reviews: "This scale works and was accurate on four flights. First flight was a test at 46 pounds and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49 but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost must-have item for air travel." —Robert
"Love it! Lightweight and easy to read! It even gives you the climate temperature (not that I need it but a neat feature). It reads in both kg and lbs. Definitely recommend if you're a frequent traveler and have weight requirements on luggage." —Patricia Velasquez
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a pack of two).
11. A portable personal blender perfect for anyone on the go who still wants their morning smoothie. It can also be utilized to blend baby food, as a protein shaker, and for smoothies (obvi). Nothing says pure joy like a fresh smoothie.
Plus, this is shatter-resistant and dishwasher-safe! It also comes with an ice tray with perfectly-sized cubes that'll fit inside AND a funnel for easy pouring.
Promising review: "This blender is amazing! I am a yoga teacher and always on the run, which sometimes makes it hard to eat well. I bought this after reviewing quite a few different options and I am SO glad I did. It fits well into my gym bag, is surprisingly quiet when in use, and holds a charge really well. The blades are very efficient and I’ve had no trouble blending up ice or frozen fruit. Seriously cannot recommend it enough." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in five colors).
12. A sleek digital alarm clock that will also charge your phone when it's placed on top. It's also dimmable, volume adjustable, and can set up to two alarms at a time. Now you don't have to fumble for your phone charger at night.
Promising review: "I decided to get an actual alarm clock because I tend to turn my phone alarm clock off in my sleep. I absolutely love the look of this alarm clock. It is the perfect size for my side table and it even doubles as a phone charger. It was incredibly easy to set up as well, took me about three minutes to complete the set up. The alarm has different volumes and I have it set on the loudest because I’m a deep sleeper." —Bethany
Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in four styles).
13. A bag cleaning sticky ball if you treat your totes like a garbage can and throw anything and everything inside of it. You need this — especially if you toss snacks in your purse that may or may not cause a total crumb mess at the bottom. You'll be content knowing that you're prolonging the life of your handbags and protecting them against filth.
Simply toss it in your handbag and let it collect all the gunk and crumbs at the bottom. Once it's full of debris, easily squeeze the outer ball to remove the sticky ball inside, and just wash it under water for it to be as good as new again.
Promising review: "This has to be one of the most amazing things I've ever bought! I can't believe how easily it grabs all that little debris that finds its way to the bottom of your bag. I haven't yet had to clean it, but I'm certain it will retain it's stickiness or else it wouldn't have so many positive reviews!" —QueenofGnomes
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors).
14. A dog booster seat to keep them safe and secure in the car (instead of dangerously on your lap). This seat will give them some elevation so they can see out the window AND it's also washable in case they have an accident. Let me just say, watching your wittle fluff ball sitting in their wittleeeee car seat will make you grin from ear to ear.
Promising review: "My dog Harvey loves his new car seat. He can easily see out the car windows and is more eye to eye with me so he's content not being in my lap. Harvey is 14 pounds so he has plenty of room. In fact I could fit two of him in the same car seat. The safety leash connected to the the car seat is just the right length so he can hang his head out the window without falling out (Harvey's favorite feature). —JOY
Get it from Amazon for $80.99+ (available in two sizes, heated and unheated, and six colors).
15. A pair of fluffy slippers so you no longer have to waste extra time mopping your floors. Whenever you putz around the kitchen or run to the bathroom, your cozy slippers will pick up any rogue dust for you. These are genius.
Promising review: "So why do I like mopping slippers? I have a 2-year-old and they're great for mopping up little splashes — like 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 for this functional novelty item." —G. Kim
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four sizes and 17 styles).
16. A prismatic window film because it provides a bit of privacy while also producing a ton of rainbows in your home once the sun hits it just right. STUNNING.
Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I am seriously obsessed with my windows now after applying this window film. They have a beautiful rainbow shine to them and still let in an incredible amount of light, all while providing the appropriate privacy. I even decided to buy more and apply it in the large front window of my house and the basement windows because I wanted more of that beautiful rainbow effect to look at." —Sergeant
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in nine sizes).
17. A set of furry friend dryer balls for an adorably quick way to dry your clothes. These little wool friends will help separate clothing pieces and promote air flow, which means cutting down drying time and reducing static! And they will last you over 1,000 cycles!
These are made from 100% organic wool.
Wooly Heroes is a small business that makes home products for sustainable living.
Promising review: "I needed to replace the plain white dryer balls I've been using for the last few years and ran across these little cuties! I was a bit worried that they might leave dark lint on lighter-colored clothing, so I used them the first time with a load of towels. I've since used them on over a dozen loads of laundry, including whites, and have had no problems with lint left on my clothes. They are of a good size, are tightly woven, and seem as if they will hold up very well over time. They are working well to reduce drying time and keep static low as long as you don't overdry your clothes." —P. Donovan
Get a set of six for $22.37+ (available in four different animal sets).
18. A nonstick double pan in case you're prone to tossing pancakes and omelettes onto the open flame of your stove when you're just trying to flip them...been there, done that. Now you can flip them like a pro and enjoy your food with tons of "mmmms" and "yummmmms."
Promising review: “I bought this pan primarily for cooking eggs, and I must say that it delivered with excellent results. I love fried eggs, but have always had trouble turning them without breaking the yolks. This pan eliminates that problem.” —S. Dawes
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors).
19. A luggage-mounted cup caddy that slips right onto your luggage so you can tote your must-have coffee with you and not fear spilling it on your way to your gate. And if you're not a coffee person, you can slip any bottled beverage and even your phone in it as well.
Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 25 colors/patterns).
20. An organic nipple butter for easing chapped, cracked nipples through the breastfeeding process. Parents also use this for diaper rash and as a lip balm! The best part of this butter is it's safe to ingest, so you don't have to wipe it off before breastfeeding. Sweet, sweet relief.
This product is petroleum-, preservative-, and lanolin-free.
Earth Mama Organics is a small business that specializes in breastfeeding products.
Promising reviews: "This is the only reason nursing and pumping was comfortable. I also use this stuff on my lips! I’m obsessed with this product." —Jesse
"This stuff made SUCH a difference in breastfeeding for me! I breastfed my first child and used all the lanolin for weeks as I cried because of the pain of having cracked nipples. I can barely remember when they healed but it felt like forever. With my second child I purchased this before she was born and by the end of my first week breastfeeding her while using this nipple butter, I was no longer in pain even though I experienced the same cracks as I did with my son. They healed much faster. I still have plenty left over. If there is any concern that this is so expensive for such a small amount — it's more than enough!"—S c
Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in packs of one, two, and three).
21. A pack of AirPod cleaning putty to satisfyingly remove all dirt and, yep, earwax (ew) from your earbuds. I'd love to lie and say this isn't common, but it is...
Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on a TikTok. I was hesitant to buy it because I was afraid the putty would get stuck to and damage my AirPods, which were FILTHY (unfortunately). However, when I tried it out, it worked really well; you can put a decent amount of pressure, and it does not stick to the AirPods at all. It got a LOT of gunk out of the AirPods. I was so shocked. But the best part was that after I used it, my AirPods' SOUND QUALITY was so good?!?!?!?!? It was great. 10/10 I'd recommend this 100%." —NJoshi
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 24- and 36-pack).

Promising reviews: "I put one in my car and one in my son's diaper bag. Saw these on TikTok and had to get them. It’s horrible when you go somewhere and they have no soap so this is a lifesaver." —Kailyn
"Cute little containers that fit in your pocket. One piece lathers nicely. Great to have if traveling or just out and find yourself in a bathroom with no soap. Also, great for campers." —Nicki
Get 200 sheets from Amazon for $8.99.
23. A pair of glasses in case you are prone to motion sickness and have tried just about everything at this point. They may look ridiculous, but tons of reviewers will argue that the results are anything but.
Promising review: "Hear me out. I saw these on TikTok and the girl swore they worked. I have been the road trip driver for 20 years because I cannot sit in the passenger seat, much less copilot. I bought these ridiculous looking glasses and tried them out on a very brief drive across town to start out. I looked at my phone. Read. I have not been able to take my eyes off the road previously. I did not get sick. Thought it was a fluke. Tried it again. My husband even offered to drive like a jerk just to do some hard breaks while I was looking down. Nothing. So here is the good news, bad news. They work, which is fantastic. But you look silly wearing them, and they are hard plastic which does not feel great on your ears and nose after a while. My children hid in the back seat while I was wearing them. BUT guess who gets to copilot on the next road trip." —Megan Martinez
Get them from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in seven colors).
24. A FURemover rubber broom that'll get every last piece of pet hair out of your carpet. You'll be amazed (and probs a lil' grossed out) by what has been baked into your carpet all these years...
The broom is made with 100% natural rubber that attracts hair. It can be used on carpets, rugs, hardwood, and linoleum.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat. Being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can’t always get in deep enough. This actually works, and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." —Theo Ackerman
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
25. A jewelry cleaning brush if your precious gemstone jewelry is looking a bit lackluster. This will bring them back to life and have them sparkling like new with practically zero effort on your part.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

26. A tiny milk frother since coffee is LIFE and a basic cup of coffee is just so...mundane. Put on your barista apron and go to town frothing up your milk for a cafe-level brew.
Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 44 styles).
27. A set of Wad-Free pads that'll prevent your sheets from getting tangled into a massive ball. You ever pull out your sheets and they're still damp? Gross. These will fix that.
Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020. The founder Cyndi Bray learned computer-aided design to create the pads.
Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.
28. A pet hair remover if your upholstery is starting to look like it's covered in shag from your pets shedding so much. Roll this bb around and pick up every last piece of hair. Even the laziest of peeps will probably find some joy in using this rolling contraption on their furniture #satisfying.
Promising review: "I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open, empty it out. Done." —Ian K.
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
29. A splash catcher mat in case you're a hurricane when it comes to cleaning dishes at the sink and manage to flood the entire sink area with gross dish water. This splash catcher mat will make your "post dish-cleaning sink cleanup" a breeze.

Hustle & Sew is a Saint Helens, Oregon based small biz featuring beautiful and customizable hand-sewn goods!

Get one from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
30. A wireless transmitter because the number of people who have corded headphones with the correct plug-in for the airplane TVs is dwindling. This transmitter will allow you to use your Bluetooth headphones on the plane! GENIUS.
Promising review: “I fly a lot and bought this due to my dislike of corded headphones, as either the cable line breaks during flight and/or it gets tangled up. I just recently flew and used this for the in-flight entertainment, and did not have one issue. I also use these in the gym while connected to my iPhone for music. And I plan to use them on my PC at work for meetings.” —Marky
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in three styles).
31. Sheet pan dividers so you can cook multiple items at once with ease. These are all separate pieces so if you're cooking multiple items and one is ready before the other, simply pull that one divider out no problem. These are also microwave-, dishwasher-, and oven-safe.
Prep'd, the small biz that created these handy dividers, was founded in 2015 by two industrial engineers who believed cooking should be simple, easy, and ultimately fun.
Promising review: "These are great for so many reasons. We're in a mixed gluten household (one person has celiac and is diabetic, but we are not all doing a gluten-free diet). We can portion control for carb counting and separate out gluten-free vs. none on one pan. Plus, cleanup is just throwing in the dishwasher!" —J Fans
Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.99.
32. A set of bra strap clips since you probs know the struggle of wearing your bra with a summery racerback tank... These make it easy to wear your fave bra and ensure that the straps stay hidden. They'll also guarantee your straps won't fall down your shoulders.
Promising review: "This is the handiest old-fashioned/forgotten remedy for a falling strap! Plus, it reduced aggravation to my shoulder caused by having to often reach and replace my strap, creating repetitive motion pain to my shoulder! Clip on one strap, put on your bra, then reach back to attach your bra strap holder high across your shoulders. Tricky at first but it becomes easier. I will rebuy to keep a supply as they lose elasticity." —BB
Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in four color sets).
33. A volcanic stone face roller that'll soak up excess skin oils like absolute magic. This lil' roller is reusable and can be washed and used over and over again. Time to throw out those oil-blotting sheets.

Promising review: "I really researched and shopped around before I purchased this from Amazon. I cooked my first pizza on it and it came out like a pro!! We will be using this especially during the summer as it pretty much stay in the triple digits here (the Mojave Desert). I cannot believe it took less than 10 minutes to bake an entire pizza. I recommend that you go to the KettlePizza website to get pointers from some of the celebrity chefs that they have videos of. These pointers really did help me to cook a perfect pizza!" —Kim Suzanne

Promising review: "I am extremely impressed, no complaints. The video quality it great (including auto night vision), the treat toss is a fun feature, the audio is good, and above all I am completely blown away by the impressive alert features! The variety of alerts and accuracy is incredible! I get alerts immediately on my phone and Apple Watch about my dogs, from barking and crying, to running/active, even person detection. The alert features are the best part about this camera in my opinion. Setup was a breeze and the app is very user friendly. Customer support is quick to respond, professional, and very helpful. I can’t stress enough how impressed and satisfied I am with the entire experience. My dogs are my world and I now have so much peace of mind. I would strongly recommend this product to ANY pet owner! It’s undeniably worth it!!! Hands down, I give 5 stars." —Careena
