    54 Practical Home Items Whose Sole Mission Is To Make Your Life Easier

    Just a list 54 *less* things you'll have to stress about later.

    1. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. It works for everything from bathtubs and stove tops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls.

    A reviewer shows before and after photos of their bathtub. Before it is rusted and dirty and after using The Pink Stuff, it is white and clean.

    2. An under-cabinet drawer great for cleaning supplies in the kitchen or beauty products in the bathroom. Some reviewers even use it to organize their food pantry. Basically, you've got options here.

    A reviewer pulls out their drawer to reveal three sponges, four magic erasers, two handheld scrub brushes, one dish brush, four folded dish cloths, and a folded drying pad all neatly arranged

    3. A set of water-absorbent coasters that are just as cute as they are useful. These marble-style coasters are fast acting when it comes to liquid cleanup, and they even have a cork bottom so there is no unwanted movement.

    a reviewer shows five coasters stacked in its metal stand, with one sitting out with a glass on top

    4. 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.

    5. Slow cooker liners that are amazing for quick and easy clean up! No more need for an intense clean or soaking overnight after every use.

    6. A set of food storage containers with airtight lids that are dishwasher safe and pleasing to the eye. You really can have it all. 😌

    Promising review: "I ordered a few different sets from this company and all seem really airtight so far. I like how they stack and am loving the label options. My pantry is looking really organized. Yay!" —Jackie

    Get them from Amazon for $38.74+ (available in three colors).

    7. A collapsible hanger that not only makes it easier to see all your options in a crowded closet, but it uses half the space! This hanger holds up to five pairs of pants but only takes up the space of two or three. *Mind blown* 🤯

    8. A compact air fryer for quick and delicious food. This Dash air fryer won't take up much space, but it will make (or reheat) some amazing meals.

    The air fryer in black, featuring an analog timer, round temperature dial, and convenient handle for removing the basket

    9. And some reusable air fryer liners because sometimes clean up is the most tedious part of cooking. These babies will make clean up a breeze, and because they're made of silicone, you'll get years of use!

    Promising reviews: "I absolutely love these liners. I love the fact that you get three in the package so you don’t have to immediately wash the one you’re using before you reuse it you can just simply use one of the other two, this was a brilliant idea." —Roxanne C 

    "These are nice silicone liners. They fit our 5.8-quart Cosori air fryer perfectly. They’re easy to clean and can be washed in the dishwasher. They also make cleanup of the air fryer easier. They’re perforated, so you can still make food crispy." —Terry R. Nye

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in four styles).

    BTW, there are round versions available for $12.97!

    10. A silverware sorter that takes up very little space in your drawer, but can fit up to 24 pieces of cutlery. The possibilities with the extra space are endless.

    11. A hanger stacker you didn't know existed, but could definitely use in your closet. Those annoying tangled bins of hangers are about to go *poof*!

    12. A sock and underwear organizer so awesome, you might just open the drawer and stare for fun. This set of four is guaranteed to maximize space in your dresser, too.

    13. An affordable bidet from Tushy that will make your bum feel like royalty. You can adjust the water temperature for your preferred clean, and reduce toilet paper use along the way.

    14. A backrest pillow filled with memory foam that'll support you while lounging around the house. Movies in bed, puzzling on the floor — you name it.

    A blue and grey stand up pillow with arms and a handle on the top.

    15. A silicone bread maker for those who love the hobby but hate the time it takes. This silicone bread maker handles the entire baking process from start to finish!

    16. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to deep clean the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while!

    17. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll make even the toughest of stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. (And yes, that includes red wine stains, don't worry.)

    18. A small knife sharpener to make your knives work like new again. Bonus points for not taking up extra space in the kitchen!

    19. A coffee mug warmer with three heat settings and an auto shutoff feature so you'll never have to worry about forgetting to turn it off when not in use.

    20. Some under-bed storage containers for storing shoes and out of season clothing away and out of sight.

    21. An outlet shelf to give yourself extra space for things like toothbrushes and hair products without the loaded effort of finding perfectly-sized shelves, finding studs in the wall, making sure everything is leveled, etc, etc.

    22. A Keurig K-Mini coffee maker so you can make a quick and delicious cup of joe before you start your day. Will you get up early enough to stop at the cafe? Debatable. But will you have an easy, single-serve coffee maker at home? Yep!

    23. Or a cold brew pitcher if you're strictly an iced coffee fan. All you need to do is put grounds into the filter, add some water, and let it sit overnight. The next day you'll have some yummy cold brew!

    a reviewer shows a full cold brew maker sitting beside a glass of iced coffee.

    24. A knit weighted blanket that'll make life easier in the sense of better sleep and being a calming hug when you need. Because it's knit and has open spaces, this blanket will keep you relaxed without making you too hot. When not in use, it's the perfect throw for your couch or bed.

    25. Or a wearable blanket because it looks like a giant hoodie but feels like the most warm and comfortable blanket ever. It's even lined with fluffy sherpa to keep in the extra warmth when you're lounging at home or out and about.

    26. A set of Wad-Free pads to prevent your sheets from tangling in the wash, catching other clothes, and not actually drying. These will save you from having to run the dryer twice.

    27. A wooden cord organizer so your desk doesn't look chaotic with wires everywhere. It'll make concentrating on work much easier with a clean space.

    28. Or a cable organizer box to hide it all, including that huge extension cord that's always in the way.

    29. A small gold bar cart that doesn't take up too much space, but can be the center of attention when you want it to be because of the attached wheels. Easy peasy.

    30. A set of silicone baking mats to prevent food from sticking to the pan, which makes for a much easier clean-up. BTW — reviewers say they're WAY better than parchment paper.

    31. An essential-oil diffuser that will have your home smelling like lavender, citrus, or whatever your scent of choice may be. This diffuser changes color, can last up to three hours, and has an auto-shutoff feature perfect for when you forget about it (unlike candles).

    32. Shelf dividers to keep your closet and cabinets looking immaculate, while also preventing things from toppling over when you grab from the bottom. (That saying "not all heroes wear capes" definitely applies here.)

    33. A cap organizer because it easily wraps around a hanger or clothes rack (things you already own — yay!). It's great for baseball hats, beanies, scarves, and headbands.

    34. A manual food chopper so you can quickly and easily chop up fruits, veggies, and even ice in a flash.

    It's also dishwasher safe (top rack only!) so cleanup is super simple.

    Promising reviews: "Great purchase — believe the hype! Makes chopping up veggies super quick!" —Amalia

    "This is great for cutting lots of veggies super fast. All you have to do is rough chop down your veggies toss them in and give it four to five pulls for perfectly diced chunks for salsa or toppings on eggs or tacos. It comes with a handy cover, too, so all you have to do is rinse the blade and toss the container in the fridge or cooler." —Kevin B.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three colors).

    35. A bin of Tide Pods that have honestly transformed the "doing laundry" experience. These in particular feature Febreze sport odor defense for those extra stinky clothes after workouts. Just pop in one and done!

    36. Glisten disposer cleaner to get rid of the nasty grunge and odor-causing buildup from every part of your garbage disposal — blades and walls included! It's less work for you, and I've gotta admit the foaming effect is pretty satisfying to watch, too.

    37. A handy 'Did You Feed The Dog?' device so the pups don't get double fed (again).

    38. A set of citrus peelers for anyone whose go-to snack is an orange or just anyone who literally cringes at the idea of digging their fingernails into an orange to peel it.

    39. Fridge organizers because having a go-to spot in the fridge will feel a lot less overwhelming when looking for dinner. These organizers also have handles so you can pull them out easily.

    40. A personal blender for when you want to make your homemade dips and sauces. This blender cup is also portable! So it's great for on-the-go juices and smoothies too. A real win-win.

    41. A double-sided tea organizer to free up space in the cabinet and toss all of those tea boxes.

    42. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets because soap and water is NOT enough to clean bottles and tumblers (sorry to be the bearer of bad news). These will make washing bottles much less of a hassle.

    Promising review: "These things are magic. Along with my insulated bottles, I’ve had fantastic results cleaning coffee pots, kettles, the sink, coffee cups… I use more tablets for larger projects. My stepmom was shocked when I made her old stained coffee pot look like new by throwing in a few tablets. Just make sure you give everything a good rinse as the foam can cling to the rim of whatever you’re cleaning. HIGHLY RECOMMEND." —SArnold

    Get a pack from Amazon for $8+ (available in three sizes). 

    43. A plastic, wax paper, and foil organizer you can leave right on the kitchen counter (it's got holes for hanging, too). This time-saver makes it easy to grab and get to cooking, and those ugly packaging boxes will be long gone. It even comes with label stickers!

    Promising review: "Works like a charm. I measured before I ordered to make sure it would fit. What impresses me most is the ability to cut the plastic wrap easily without wrinkling it up. This gadget definitely makes life a little easier in the kitchen. Just know, only holds regular size rolls, not extra long so have to find the right parchment paper roll." —D. Hattenbach

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    44. A set of satin pillowcases to ensure your hair and skin protection continues while you're sleeping! With satin, there's less friction which means no more tangled hair (thank goodness!) and the cooling effect will help you sleep soundly.

    45. A set of alphabetical record dividers that'll make it easier to find the album you're looking for in a sea of many. This set comes with five, 100% wood dividers.

    46. A budget-friendly multipurpose pot to cover most (if not all) of your needs. This pot has a removable steamer good for vegetables, dumplings, and so much more. The included sauce pan even comes in two adorable colors!

    47. A bakeware rack that's great for baking sheets and cupcake pans, but it'll also make your cluttered pots and pans shelf look ~pristine~ by being a designated place for the lids.

    48. A set of floating shelves you can use for everything from plants, bathroom essentials, makeup brushes, and more.

    49. rapid egg cooker for quick eggs in tons of different styles: hard/medium/soft boiled, poached, scrambled — you name it! This gadget does it all EGGcellently.

    It also features an auto-shutoff function! It can boil up to six eggs at a time, poach up to two eggs at a time, or make an omelet! There's a poaching tray, omelet tray, a six-egg holder tray, a measuring cup, a recipe book, and access to a recipe database. All nonelectric parts are dishwasher-safe!

    BuzzFeed's own Samantha Wieder absolutely loves this egg cooker:

    "I love cooking, I really do, but there are two very inconvenient times that my cooking laziness strikes, and that is first thing in the morning when I wake up, and at the end of the day when it's time for dinner. Thankfully, in the morning, I now have this rapid egg cooker which allows me to make soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, or an omelet, all without having to stand over the stove.

    It's also a great way to whip up a high protein snack during the day when you're busy with work, school, or just in the middle of a very important Netflix binge. The egg maker will let out a sound when your eggs are cooked, and then all you have to do is enjoy them!"

    Promising review: "I didn't believe the hype until I bought it for myself. My boiled eggs come out perfect EVERY TIME. Trust me this is not one of those kitchen products you buy to make life easier that just ends up sitting on top of the cabinet collecting dust. If you are a deviled egg / hard boiled egg / omelet lover, YOU NEED THIS." —M. Brown

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in eight colors).

    50. A TubShroom that'll catch all the hair in the shower drain so you don't have to dig in there later. That also means no more clogged drains!

    51. A set of glass meal-prep containers to save time when it comes to planning out food for the week. Each container has three compartments for easy food separation.

    a reviewer shows five containers filled with  veggies, fruit, and chicken salad in each section.

    52. A set of color-coded cutting mats that'll save tons of space and decrease clean-up time. This set comes with a cutting board that has storage underneath for the seven included cutting mats for different food groups (veggies, cheese, beef, etc.). You'll go from needing two or three different cutting boards to one!

    a reviewer shows the cutting board with  the beef, chicken, cheese, and fruit sheets.

    53. A dishwasher magnet when you want to make it clear that dishes need to be done or if they're good to go!

    54. A draft guard to keep your home the cozy safe haven that it is. When you have the space heater going while bundled up in a blanket, the last thing you need to worry about is a cold breeze.
