1. A pack of silicone hooks for your AirPods because these things are too dang valuable to lose (again). They're also a great help if the shape of AirPods don't quite fit your ears, and you're always readjusting them.
These also work great for wired EarPods!
Promising reviews: "Do not hesitate to buy these. My AirPod Pros were constantly falling out my ears and it was so annoying. These anti-slip ear hooks are a life saver. Do not hesitate to buy them, because it works. They help my AirPods stay in place, and I don't have to worry about losing them anymore. The pack includes three pairs of replacements hooks, and a cute little carry pouch." —Simone
"Finally, something that actually makes my AirPod Pros stay in! I was hesitant to try at first seeing as they’re made of a silicone material. But they fit and my AirPods stay comfortably in my ears. I danced, I ran, I jumped, I talked, and they still stayed in. I love that they come with three pairs so there’s plenty of backups. Great product and a great price!" —Chad Johnson
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $13.95 (available for AirPod 3s and AirPod Pros).
2. A set of soda can "lids" to make your favorite cans of soda or La Croix much more portable, while still keeping their bubbly goodness, too.
Reviewers also *swear* by these for keeping sand and dirt off the rim at picnics or the beach!
Promising review: "Biggest thing since sliced bread. Do you hate it when you when can’t finish your soda or maybe don’t have time? If you're driving somewhere it’s difficult to handle a can drink sometimes, you’re trying to take a sip and all a sudden you hit a pot hole. Soda up your nose, down your chin, on your clothes. It doesn’t have to be that way anymore — with these you can enjoy you soda just like it was in a bottle. I was skeptical at first, but sold as soon as I put it on the can. I use it every day." —Jonesy

3. A pair of tube squeezers so you can use *every* last drop of your toothpaste without having to do that hard, wring-it-to-the-top dance when the tube is on its last legs. Work smarter not harder people!
Promising reviews: "These work great. The key twists the empty section of the tube easily so every bit of the toothpaste is used with no fuss. Have one for my husband and I and for each of the two kids. Highly recommend this product. Update [three years later]: All four of these are still working and looking great after a couple of years of constant use. Super pleased!" —Chelley Patterson
Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two color combinations).
4. A pair of LaBeautyologist Cleansing Cuffs to stop annoying drenched sleeves from being a part of your skincare routine. The cuffs are comfortable, super absorbent, and essentially make your arm a drip-free zone when you wash your face.
BuzzFeed writer Genevieve Scarano loves these cleansing cuffs!: "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!"

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors).
6. And a Mighty Handle that'll make carrying multiple grocery bags SO much easier! It has a comfortably cushioned handle and can lift up to 50 pounds.
Promising review: "Since purchasing the Mighty Handle, I have saved a lot of time and energy unloading groceries from my SUV. I would always have to make multiple trips back to the SUV, but now just one or two trips. This device is sturdy. As long as you divide the weight of the bags evenly, there is no issue carrying large amounts of groceries at one time." —Crystal
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.95.
7. A TikTok Bluetooth remote control for easy scrolling! It's perfect for navigating through your favorite app while at the gym, while cooking, and more. It can even be used to scroll through Instagram, read e-books, and take photos from afar without needing a timer. Genius. 👏🏾
Promising reviews: "Cute, compact, and convenient. I use it with TikTok and Kindle App. I knit at the same time as watching TikTok vids or reading so this is an amazing little gadget. It also wouldn't take up much room in a purse so I can travel with it." —annaangela

The actual stand is universal, so it will hold dryers of all sizes and weights.
Promising review: "I LOVE this hair dryer holder. It used to take me 15–20 minutes to dry my hair in the morning. Now it takes me eight because I don't have to put my arms down to rest them anymore. I placed it high on my bathroom wall and tilted the arm down because I wanted to straighten my wavy hair. My hair was sleek and straight because I brushed it while drying, which was so much easier to do without holding the dryer. I'll tell all my friends about this!" —Jon Wagner
Get it from Amazon for $34.95.
9. A soft and comfy pair of scrunchie-style Apple Watch bands because the typical straps can feel really constricting and uncomfortable at times. This band won't pinch your wrist or leave you with an irritated red circle of skin!
Promising review: "These are super comfortable and more breathable than most other bands! I picked this up because a coworker recommended I get them for my new Apple Watch to help with the heat rash and tightness on my wrist and oh my goddddds. This is a blessing." —Victoria Gullick
Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four sizes and in 23 color/style combinations).

Promising review: "This is my second one! Love it so much since it can keep my necklaces safe and untangled with its strong magnet. Safe me so much time layering all the necklaces I have. Literally takes one second to put on!" —Nichole Li

Promising review: "A kitchen staple...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 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 (available in gray and navy).
12. A set of lotus trolley bags designed to fit shopping carts perfectly and allow you to bag your groceries as you shop! This set of four even comes with one large cooler bag to keep things chill. Each bag is heavy-duty, reusable, and machine washable, too.
Promising review: "I am the envy of all who see me. Seriously. The only 'problem' with these bags is how many people will stop you to ask about them. I never forget to bring my reusable bags anymore because these are so useful! I use the scan as you shop app at my local store and bag as I go. When I’m finished shopping, I scan it at any register, pay, and go. Everything is packed the way I want it and can be easily carried into my home. It saves time while helping the environment — win/win. I plan to buy these for all of my friends for their birthdays. So much more useful than body wash or another scented candle!" —S. Connell
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in two color combinations).
13. A hairbrush cleaning tool perfectly designed to get every piece of dust, hair, and dander build up out of those bristles. *Immediately adds to cart*
The pointed end of the tool is ideal for picking out tangles, the stiff bristles work great at removing dust and dirt, and the bristles at the bottom end of the tool can give your hairbrush a deep clean.
Promising review: "When I bought this I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why, it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." —HeartsofHavoc
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
14. A HyperChiller, a cool gadget that turns a hot beverage — like coffee, soda, or wine — ice cold in 60 seconds (yes, seconds) flat. All you need to do is fill the container with water and keep it in the freezer so it's always ready when needed.
This 12.5 ounce cup chills all beverages except carbonated ones. You fill it with water and put it in the freezer for 12 hours before using it. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "I bought this item for my husband as a Father's Day gift. He is a coffee 'freak' and loves espresso, though in the hot summer he enjoys cold coffee in the evenings after work. That usually involved making it in the morning and putting in the fridge. But this HyperChiller changed everything! We LOVE it! It really takes no more than 90 seconds to get the perfect ice-cold coffee!! If you want to be able to make an ice-cold drink in seconds, this item is for you!" —Lilia G.
Get it from Amazon for $23.56 (available in four colors).
15. A Thaw Claw to help you defrost meat seven times faster than the classic (and patience-testing) way. 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. Say goodbye to needing to thaw your dinner at breakfast time!
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 $19.95 (available in three colors).
16. An LED fog-less mirror, the essential time-saving item you didn't know you needed. Simply mount it in the shower so you can shave while you shower to cut down your getting ready time.
Promising review: "This deluxe shaving mirror saves me about 15 minutes in the morning. If you're anything like me, 15 minutes in the morning is like an hour in daytime hours. I really like not having to keep up with and apply the anti-fog sprays to the mirror, which only temporarily work (so I hear). Filling the back with water that goes in the back of the mirror only takes about 10 seconds and discarding the water after shaving takes about five seconds. Shaving in the shower with all the steam makes your shaving experience much closer and comfortable, I find. Like I said, when I wake up in the morning, I stumble to the shower FIRST. No more going to the sink, washing my face, shaving, AND THEN stumbling to the shower. Excellent way to start the day... and with much less stumbling, my chances are much greater in making it to work... LOL" —Nicholas
Get it from Amazon for $39.95.

The glass is nice and thick, and if you are clumsy, no worries, hasn’t broken yet even though I drop it all the time! Nice deep sections allow for a LOT of food!" —Danielle

18. A set of bed bands because they'll keep your fitted sheets secure and in place so you aren't constantly tucking them back in over and over (and over) again.
Promising reviews: "These things work. We have an adjustable mattress that has been a nightmare to keep the sheets tucked in. The nightmare is no more. This product worked the first time and has never failed to do its job. If you need the bottom sheets to stay in place, look no further. These are your answer." —jacksan1
"I'm a super [active] sleeper. I mean, like, in my sleep I'm pulling up the sheets with my hands, rolling around, throwing pillows off the bed kind of sleeper. While these bed bands didn't solve the problem of chucking my pillows across the room, they absolutely completely solved the sheets problem, which was THE most infuriating thing considering that my bed is in the corner of the room, and the sheets are extremely difficult for me to put on as it is. These bands are made of a strong elastic band paired with metal clasps to attach to the sheets. ... I had them all attached and working within five minutes of opening the package. It has been some time now since I have purchased these bands, and they have never once failed me. They've never failed to keep my sheets down nor have they snapped out of place or broken at any point. They simply work, as the packaging states. I love these. If you are a heavy sleeper or just have a problem with your sheets coming up at night, these are THE solution!" —Eli

19. A beauty spatula to get every last bit of foundation left in the bottle! It can fit into the crevices no amount of shaking or hitting the bottle will get.
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
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
20. A pack of light-dimming LED covers for those distracting bright and flashy lights on all of the electronics in your home. They work on everything from cable boxes to alarm clocks. You'll have a much better night's sleep and be able to focus on work without looking at that annoying light from the corner of your eye.
Promising review: "I've been looking for something like this forever. I have a hard time falling and staying asleep when there is any bit of light in my bedroom. Especially the lights on phone chargers and my fan. Stumbled across these in a BuzzFeed article and figured what the heck. They came quickly and I immediately put them to use. As the instructions state, you do have to use more than one depending on how much light you want to dim. I am not disappointed. Would highly recommend and will buy again." —Kindle Customer
Get them from Amazon for $2.89.
21. A bonnet hair dryer attachment because this gadget is kind of a genius. Not only does it make drying your hair at home *way* faster*, but it's adjustable and can attach to the blow dryer you already own! When not in use, it folds up to be super compact.
Promising review: "Large enough to fit over a full head of Velcro rollers!! Draw string helps keep the hat on. Good quality. Just make sure you keep your dryer on low & alternate between the cool setting, because it gets hot quickly! Has venting holes to let air out. Good price for such a helpful item that helps dry my hair. Happy I don’t have to stand there with my dryer in hand, I rested the dryer on the counter & caught up on emails. :)))" —David Theophilus
Get it from Amazon for $21.96 (available in black and purple).
22. A pill organizer that features push-through silicone lids so you can easily organize your pills at the beginning of each week. Say goodbye to forgetting whether or not you took your pills and rummaging through multiple bottles to do so!
Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure, but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues.
Promising review: "This medicine organizer is so great. Why? Well, if you have a ton of supplements like Omega-3 (Big pill), several supplements per morning and afternoon. You're golden! I can fit 10 regular sized supplements on one side plus little prescription pills. The other great thing is that you can remove the container and take it with you if you are traveling! It is so convenient! I also enjoy that its sturdy and not cheap material when putting the supplements/vitamins into the container. Definitely will last you a long time!" —Des

Promising review: "I had to come on here to say, these really live up to the hype! I’m so impressed and I cook for a family of five every night. They are keeping up with that so well. It’s also so nice to serve right out of them. They are pretty enough and one less thing to clean. They do scratch, but I whipped mashed potatoes in it, so that’s a lot to ask using a hand mixer. The others haven’t so the dishwasher is fine. Seriously don’t worry about these at all...Overall I’m super happy with this purchase and wanted to share. They really are awesome!" —Melissa

It's made of weather resistant material that can survive extreme conditions without any wear and tear. AND with the firm grip of the straps, it definitely won't fall off even during the strongest storms.
Promising review: "I love this product. I live in Minnesota, and this is great not only for snow but for protecting against frost, which we get six months a year, it seems. I wish I had it years ago. One thing on this product that I don't see on some others out there is that it covers your wipers extremely well, which is great!" —Amazon Customer

Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that).
Promising review: "Exactly what I needed. The felt liner was the perfect fit for my Neverfull MM. It's got a ton of pockets suitable for everything you may need it for. It's well made and came fast, which HELLO, satisfies my instant gratification. I went with the Large size and it fits perfectly." —Pawnie Santana

We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan
Get it from Amazon for $10.95+ (also available for cats, brushing teeth, and more).
27. An adjustable breast support band that'll limit the amount of ~bounce~ that occurs while exercising (finally, a solution!🙏). This can help prevent movement-related injuries, improve posture, and prevent pain from sagging.
Promising review: "This actually works! I usually have to wear two high impact sports bras. This is a life changing but do try different positions. One reviewer said to put it lower on the back and higher on the front and this made all the difference for me. Now I can wear one bra and this and get zero bounce even during jumping exercises. This is the best brand. I tried another popular one and it was useless, not sure why. I am a bra size 34F or G depending on brand and S/M in this item was the correct size. Don’t size up. Go by the recommended dress size because you need this to be snug. Highly recommended." —Eireen
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in sizes S–XL and two colors).
28. A set of Sea Bands perfect for those who experience motion sickness, morning sickness, and migraine nausea. The band targets an acupuncture point on your wrists to help reduce the nauseous feeling.
Promising review: "I’ve always been kind of sick. I throw up on long car rides, I can’t read in the car, I get horrible migraines 24/7, etc. Recently I changed medications and because of that, my migraines came back with a vengeance. Thinking there was nothing I could do I kind of gave up, until, I was looking at BuzzFeed and saw this in their recommended. I thought it could help with any car sickness that I would get but man I was not giving these enough credit! Since I have bought them I where ALL.THE.TIME. I wear them in and out of the car, to bed, and just around the house. I no longer feel nauseous and my migraines are almost non existent. Whoever invented these are a freaking god! I don’t know think I could ever live without these! BUY THESE!! They're so worth it." —JohnDz

"Cute hat, just as pictured! I love the satin lining. This hat also seems to have a fair amount of stretch for versatile sizing. I have a smaller than average head, and the hat was perfectly snug around when I pulled it on.

Promising review: "It was just what I needed for my messy and unorganized truck! I wanted something not too bulky, but just the right size to help me reorganize my trunk. This product did that for me. I was also concerned that it’ll move when I drove but luckily there is Velcro on the bottom that secures it in place while you drive, and sure enough it did just that! This product does not take up a lot of space and gives you the right amount of measure to place other things like groceries and a suitcase. I am completely satisfied and content with this product!

33. An avocado slicer that makes splitting, cutting, and removing a pit seem like the easiest thing in the world.
This three-in-one tool can split an avocado with its pointy tip, remove the pit with its center, and make perfectly even slices with the bottom.
Promising review: "I like to eat avocados but don’t like removing the pit. It’s a slippery mess with a ripe avocado. This tool is very effective. Slicing works with the plastic knife end. The small metal blades grab the pit and it comes out easily with a slight twist. That’s the part I like the most. Scooping out the meat with the slicer end works well too. A quick rinse under the faucet and any remaining remnants caught in the slicer slide off and the tool is clean." —Maureen

Promising review: "This weird little ring-pop looking contraption is the BEST. Can't tell you how many times I've spilled my nail polish tried to hold it between my knees or balancing it on something while trying to do my nails. I don't need a flat surface anymore, I can sit wherever. I even made my kids come see (they rolled their eyes) but anyone who does their nails will love it. I have various shaped nail polish bottles and so far they have all fit. Best impulse buy this year 💅. If i was making a little nail-polish gift basket for someone I would definitely throw one of these in there." —SWD

Promising review: "These are amazing. They are literal lifesavers. I LOVE my heavy Kendra Scott earrings, but I’m pretty sure they’re the culprit of why my right earring hole has ripped slightly. Using these support patches, it’s as if the earrings don’t even exist. I am going to tell all of my friends to get these for their heavy statement earrings!!" —Donthemom50

"This did exactly what it claims to do. I use some warm water on a little part, and my whole makeup comes off, even mascara! I used to always buy makeup wipes, and this has saved me so much money.

38. And a portable paw cleaner that'll get the (very important) job done and prevent dirty paws from walking around your house — without taking tons of time out of your day. With this you can clean muddy or dusty paws quickly and easily.
Promising review: "I love this product. I ordered a medium at first and seemed to work fine for our two dogs, (Australian shepherd mix and lab mix). The medium was a little small for the Lab, so I ordered the large. The large is easier to fit her paws into, but it's harder to use because it's much bigger (which was expected). They both work, and we absolutely love how clean it gets their paws. We were shocked to see how dirty the water was. This saves us so much time from wiping their paws with wet towels and then drying them. You do still have to dry their paws, but if they happen to slip away, you just have to deal with a wet floor and not a wet/muddy floor. I definitely recommend this product to everyone who has a dog." –Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this for my wife, hoping that she'd like it. Oh my goodness, it has gone from bag to bag to bag and is ALWAYS with her. It's just so easy to use as there are no switches to worry about. You just put your hand inside the bag to look for something, the light comes on, then once your hand is out of the bag, it turns off after a few seconds. So simple! I have bought several others since then as gifts, and they are universally well-liked by everyone who gets them. Fabulous product." —OJBRIT

Promising review: "I had a terrible summer in Florida this year with the high temps and humidity and started to chafe every time I wore my sport bra (five times a week) so bad. It was painful and my skin was breaking in places all along my sport bra band. Powder and/or Vaseline did not help. I found this product, and have not had even one episode of chafing once I started using it. It's easy to apply; I just put it anywhere my sports bra band touches, front and back. haven't chafed not one time since I started using it." —Heather

Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine, it was so bad I just stopped drinking wine altogether, then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache-free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" —shelleymab

Promising review: "Honestly, I had my doubts! But, BuzzFeed kept showing me this product. And, washing and drying sheets was an annoyance: the sheets would take over the washing machine and get tangled in the dryer, causing EVERYTHING in that load to take forever to dry. No longer. I used these for the first time yesterday and ZERO tangles. The load dried in normal time. AND I get to support a woman-owned business?!?! Perfect." —Michelle Williams
