1. A cute portable charger, so that your phone is ALWAYS charged, no matter where you are or how long you've been on the road. Its slim, compact, and no cables/cords are necessary!
Promising reviews: "I purchased this item before I traveled to Greece for one week. I used to this multiple times at the airport, on the airplane, and during my day trips while exploring during my vacation. This has lasted multiple charges it has been very convenient since you are not attached to an outlet while you’re recharging your phone." —christine k.
"When traveling I often run down the battery on my phone, especially on cruises when I go off the ship on an excursion and take a lot of pictures. I have had portable chargers before but they are heavy for their size and you need to carry a cable as well. The iWalk solves both problems. It is compact, lightweight, and requires no cable. And it is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this product." —Nancy J.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors).
2. 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 $5.99.
3. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover that has reviewers throwing around words like "magic" and "amazing" because of how good the results are. With one wash, deodorant residue, dirt, and sweat stains disappear!
Puracy is a small biz based in Austin, Texas that makes nontoxic, plant-based cleaning and personal care products.
Promising review: "This is literally the best stain remover I have ever used. Better than even the chemical-laden, big brand stuff! The pictures [above] are of my son’s baseball pants after a muddy game. The front and backs were both completely stained with grass, mud and other grime. I sprayed liberally and used an old toothbrush I keep on hand for stain-agitation to scrub it in a bit, then let it sit for a few hours before washing as usual. This was the biggest/toughest job I’ve tried it on and dang- They came out nearly brand-new! I wish I’d had this stuff last year. We might not have had to toss his used baseball gear. I’ve had it for a few months and even though I use it pretty regularly (I have two very active boys), I still have plenty. The value for price is really fantastic." —AshleeOdee
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
4. A blow-dryer holder so that you no longer have to deal with sore or cramping arms when drying your hair. It'll stay in the perfect position, which means waaay less effort from you. Yes, please!
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.
5. A handy "Did You Feed The Dog?" device to ensure the pups don't get double fed (again). A must-have for pet parents!
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available for cats, brushing teeth, and more).
6. A set of memory foam gel pads you ~need~ if you're at a desk on a daily basis. These pads work as support for your wrists, giving them relief from being in the same position eight hours a day. They'll help prevent cramping and wrist pain, which can put a damper in anyone's work or gaming time.
It comes in two pieces — one you can prop in front of your keyboard, and the other in front of your mouse.
Promising reviews: "I've been working from home due to COVID and began experiencing wrist pain. The soft cushion from both items provided the relief I needed. Great products and price!" —Gaga2015
"Having worked from home for almost a year now without any ergonomic cushion, I finally decided to buy this and so glad I did. They come with stickers that you can place to avoid movement but so far they don't seem necessary...The mouse pad cushion feels perfect! I appreciate not having the ball of my palm resting against a hard surface all day long. This also isn't sliding around on the desk. Feels perfect. These cushions have a great memory foam feel but not so much that they are very sensitive to the touch, they mostly keep their shape." —UAstudentn
Get it from Amazon for $13.96+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors).
7. AND a gel-enhanced seat cushion to not only help straighten your posture, but to make your office (or gaming!) chair WAY more comfortable. Hours of sitting won't hurt so bad with this 👏
ComfiLife is a small business based in San Diego, California. They're all about pain relief, comfort, and taking care of your body.
Promising review: "Since I've started working from home (coronavirus quarantine) I really miss my office chair. I saw this reviewed on BuzzFeed and immediately ordered it. Best decision ever. It helps my posture and makes my stiff kitchen chair way more comfortable." —Melissa Schuler
Get it from Amazon for $47.95 (available in two colors).
8. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff that'll make those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house seem like a walk in the park. It works for everything from bathtubs and stove tops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls.
Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets, knows, etc. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
9. A rechargeable ring light that'll brighten your frame for work meetings or online classes and provide the perfect lighting for selfies. It's small enough to fit in purses and backpacks too!
Promising reviews: "Bought this to use for hosting online classes and Zoom sessions so that my video doesn't appear to be too dark. This light has three settings that are all very bright. The battery lasts a good deal of time and can also be used when plugged into USB power. Would recommend." —Shawn Maile
"I love this light. It has four brightness settings and is rechargeable. I only just received it, but wow what a huge difference. And for the price you just can't beat it!" —Samantha Logan
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
10. A sparkling-wine saver to keep the bubbly as it should be... bubbly! No more wasting a bottle or rushing through one with this thing laying around.
BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord loves this cool gadget and says, "I purchased one of these at the aggressive behest of a friend, and it's LEGIT. I told myself I was a Red Wine Lady my whole life because it was easier to save for later, but now that I don't live in constant fear of wasting the bubbly stuff, I am an All Wine Lady and have finally achieved my truest form."
Promising review: "It's like magic! Easy and works exactly as it claims. The bubbles multiply inside the bottle after it has gone flat. Marvelous darling!" —Heather T Davitt

Get it from Amazon for $12.97.
11. 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 review: "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 $11.95 (available for AirPod 3s and AirPod Pros).
12. A high ponytail running cap with UPF 50 protection so you can keep the perfect pony and still have the sun protection you need. The convenient design of this hat (two separate openings in back) allows you to have either high or low ponytails/buns, too. Love!
Vimhue is an Arizona-based, woman-owned small business that specializes in uniquely engineered running hats.
Promising review: "Love this hat so much! I already ordered another one in a different color for myself and one for a friend! I live in Texas near the Gulf and it’s summer — really humid and really hot. I walk 3 to 4 miles outside most days and I’d been wishing for a hat that allowed for a high ponytail so I could keep my hair off my neck to not get as hot/sweaty. Decided to Google it and found this and was thrilled! The X straps are easy to adjust and it fits great and is breathable. And it’s super cute!" —mlp06h
Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29 (available in 24 colors).
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 $10.95.
14. A necklace detangling clasp so tangling jewelry can be a thing of the past (and so will the worry of ruining your favorite pieces along with it). With this cool magnetic clasp, your necklaces will lay *right* where you want them to... and stay that way!
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
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in gold, rose gold, and silver, and with two or three clasps).
15. 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.)
Be sure to check out our full write-up on this Folex stain remover!
Promising review: "The reviews and before/after pics had me curious, but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn’t set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years and I’m amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains but that’s my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle you will not be disappointed!" —LMK32294
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
16. 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).
17. A pack of gnat traps — a true plant parent essential that keeps those annoying bugs from attacking your precious plants! Simply place the sticky traps into or near your plant pot and let it work its magic. The bright yellow color will attract any fungus gnats right to it.
As a plant parent myself, I repeat: THESE BABIES ARE ESSENTIAL. Your plants don't have to die a slow and miserable death due to bugs. After putting these in each one of my plants, within a day the sticky traps were covered in the evil pests that tried to take over, and I saw my plants slowly begin to thrive again. I recently learned that gnats and flies are attracted to the color yellow, hence why these gnat traps work so well!
Promising review: "After years of never having any issues with pests, somehow, I wound up with gnats flying around my living room. I did some research and it seemed fungus gnats had infested my nine plants (of various sizes and all in the same area). I bought these out of desperation and they’ve worked better than I thought they would. I suspected I had 10 or so gnats flying around...two weeks and five sticky traps later, these traps have easily captured 60–70 of them. I’m so grossed out but also so grateful to have purchased these!" —DAH
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in packs of 12, 24, 48 and 120).
18. Body Glide anti-chafing balm because chafing isn't fun for anyone — especially when you're out and there's no remedy in sight. Body Glide is small enough to carry around and it really works! The #1 bestseller has over 16,000 5-star reviews.
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
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+.
19. A miracle-working Migraine Stick because it gives you relief from headaches and migraines almost instantly. It's made with essential oils like peppermint, spearmint, and lavender that can even help clear your sinuses.
The famous Migraine Stick comes from family-owned and operated small biz, Basic Vigor.
Promising review: "I have had tension and migraine headaches for around 20 years. I have tried everything. OTC medication, prescription medication, pain injections, chiropractor etc... This topical oil has given me relief for nearly six weeks now. I have only had two to three headaches in that time, and they were mild. I ordered more already so I have some in my car and at home, and I bought some for two of my friends who suffer from chronic migraines. I would recommend this product to anyone with migraines. It is phenomenal." —Mary D.

20. A pack of light-dimming LED covers that'll help with 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 $9.99.
21. A pet hair remover to make sure your pet's shedding does minimal damage to your sinuses and your furniture. It's like a lint roller without the annoying sticky pads that you have to constantly replace. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's as good as new.
Promising review: "I have allergic reactions to dog hair and dander, so imagine my surprise when we learned our new quarantine pup wasn’t hypoallergenic as we had thought. Cue a mad dash to buy every product under the sun to keep my allergies in check, because from the moment she came home, we were in love. ... Then, enter the ChomChom roller, the roller to end the need for any other roller. Gone are the days of stripping and sticking with a disposable lint roller. Gone are the days of dragging that red lint brush paddle over the furniture. And definitely gone are the days hauling out the vacuum just to zip away the excess dog fur on the couch. If you use it right — and I mean vigorously roll back and forth, up and down, to and from like your life depended on it — the ChomChom never fails. ... Truthfully, it picks up more than enough for me to be satisfied." —L. White
Get it from Amazon for $31.95.
22. A knee stabilizer band that provides long-term knee pain relief from activities like cycling, hiking, or just working out a little too hard at the gym.
Promising review: "This brace works like magic. I purchased it to help with knee pain from cycling, and I just make sure it's on tight and just underneath my patella and I have zero pain or discomfort now. Would definitely recommend. Comes with two braces!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in four colors).
23. A pack of Avarelle Acne Cover Patches to help those pesky zits disappear overnight. Bonus points! They also prevent picking and acne scarring. Simply apply the patch right on top of your pimple in the evening and the rest is history.
Promising review: "I found this product on a BuzzFeed list and thought I’d give it a shot. Didn’t have overnight expectations but I am BLOWN AWAY. These patches are awesome little miracle workers that I had to write a review when I rarely do. Would highly recommend. I just used one last night and a spot that has been giving me trouble for a week or two is now completely flush with my skin. I used one on my back from a zit along my bra line that wasn’t healing and now is completely resolved. Plus it’s super satisfying to see all the gunk that comes out. Just make sure you leave it for a while. The first time I took it off too soon and didn’t see a difference. So hours are good. I left the one from yesterday on overnight and it worked again. So happy to find a product that doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin or dry me out. Will definitely be purchasing again!" —Heather G.

24. Lobe support patches so you don't have to worry about any pain or lobe stretching when wearing your favorite big, heavy earrings. Just attach the patches to the back of your lobe to ~literally~ take the weight off.
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
Get a box of 60 patches from Amazon for $9.99.
25. A soft and comfy pair of scrunchie-style Apple Watch bands perfect for when the typical straps feel really constricting and uncomfortable. 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 $11.99+ (available in four sizes and in 23 color/style combinations).
26. A laptop cooling pad for when your computer starts to make that over-heating, airplane propeller sound (you know the one). It's USB-powered and has three fans in it that'll keep your laptop cool so you can focus on work instead of reviving your work equipment.
Promising reviews: "This brand is excellent...I decided to try this brand based on reviews and absolutely wasn't disappointed. We've now had them for more than 2 years without fail. We have two 2-fan, and and one 3-fan running a minimum of 12 hours daily and all we do is use a vacuum every two to three months and they're good to go. Their angle is perfect, cooling is above average, and dependability is nothing I ever expected. I can't think of any other brand I would consider at any price. More than two years, and all three are still running great!" —Rantasia
"This works extremely well. My laptops fans used to scream to the point it would make you scream into your microphone just to talk to your friends on discord. With this product that diminished, and I don’t have to worry about the fans kicking up that loud ever again...I fully recommend this product just as it was recommended to me by a friend with a similar laptop problem. I honestly don't ever see this product failing to support my demands." —Kaleb Urquhart
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors).
27. A medication tracker that sticks right to your prescription bottle so that there'll be no more confusion on whether or not you took it the day before (Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.)
Promising review: "This product has helped me SO much. I forget things a lot and forget to take my medications far too often. I was hesitant because of the price, but I am incredibly happy with this purchase. I would go as far as saying it has been one of the best things I’ve ever ordered. It is very easy to use, sticks well, and I’ve reused it on multiple bottles already. I'd imagine at some point the stickiness will wear off, but I’m going to use glue dots then. And I will absolutely buy again. These are lifesavers… literally, for me. If you’re on the fence about getting these, let this be your sign. I am really grateful for these. :-)" —Lexie P
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99.
28. 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

29. And while you're at it, a bottle scrub brush for all of the glasses, cups, and thermoses you can't fit your hand into. The long handle design will ensure every inch is squeaky clean.

31. 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

32. A set of bed bands to keep your fitted sheets secure and in place so you aren't constantly tucking them back in over and over (and over) again.
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 product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. 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 it from Highland Concepts on Etsy for $7.99 (available in two sizes and five styles).
34. A pair of warm touchscreen-friendly gloves to make texting possible while keeping your hands cozy! Trust me, you'll appreciate the freedom to scroll through Instagram in any weather.
Promising review: "I am writing this review with my new favorite gloves on! First, they are the softest pair of gloves I have ever owned. I am sensitive to certain fabrics and it can be a challenge to find things that I can wear for a significant amount of time that will not bother me. I could wear these for hours if I needed to. Second, they are the most touchscreen-sensitive gloves I have ever tried. It is extremely frustrating to stop what I am doing to take my thumbs or fingers out of my gloves to quickly look something up or send a short text. The thumbs, forefingers and middle fingers have a perfectly placed area that works on my phone and tablet. After trying several pairs over the years, these are by far the best ones I have ever tried. Lastly, all of that combined with being very warm, (but not too hot), the excellent design, very well-made, with a soft and breathable material, and the low price, I will never purchase gloves from anywhere else...One of the best purchases I have ever made from Amazon and will be ordering from them again very soon." —kristin
Get them from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 10 colors).
35. A bottle of Drop It, a wine sulfate and tannin remover that helps prevent that annoying wine-headache and any sinus or allergic reactions you may have after drinking.
Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you're good to go.
Promising review: "I became really sensitive to wine in my 30s and through a lot of trial and painful error, I thought I might have to give up on wine altogether. Then I found out about the preservatives being a possible cause and decided to give this product a shot. So glad I did!! I'm still pretty sensitive to reds but this helps tremendously so that I can have a glass with dinner without a headache immediately settling in. Whites cause me no problem what so ever! I love that it takes so little product to make a difference to a whole bottle. Just a few drops, a few minutes and we are good to go." —CastawayIrons
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
36. Vacuum seal bags — THEE best answer for space saving when it comes to bulky clothes like hoodies, sweaters, and jeans. If you're an over-packer like me, this is a must, an essential, and just very very helpful. 😅
My colleague Jasmin Sandal swears by these bags!:
"I swear by these bad boys not only for general storage purposes, but also if I know I'm going to be traveling for an extended period of time. As someone who tends to pack for every eventuality (who doesn't like to be prepared?!), I have learned that it's better to travel with them than without — especially since it's more or less a guarantee that my clothes are gonna take up a ~substantial~ amount of room in my suitcase. And if I can use something that's gonna shrink the size of my bulky hoodies and/or big tees in order for me to create more space, I'm sure as heck gonna do it. Plus, the satisfaction is indeed guaranteed because when you see those chunky layers flatten into a pancake...it's just *chef's kiss*."
Promising review: "I've used these bags before and they are so helpful. Even use the medium one for travel and I have tons of extra suitcase room. The clothes don't come out wrinkled at all as long as you fold them nicely before placing in the bag, then the air sucks out keeping them safe and sound and very compact." —Susie Kochsmeier

37. A mini trash can that fits ~perfectly~ inside car drink holders and back seat pockets, giving you zero excuses for a cluttered car (at least when it comes to trash).
Promising review: "Fits perfectly in the cup holder on the side of my door which is where I tend to hoard the most trash. If it ever gets dirty it washes easily. The lid comes on and off easily making it easy to just dump it every time I'm at the gas station. I saw this on TikTok and it turned out to be a great impulse buy." —Jacqueline Todd

38. A wrinkle release spray for when you're in a rush and taking out the ironing board will make you even more late than you already are. With a few spritzes of this stuff, you'll be good to go!
Promising review: "HOLY SMOKES. I wasn't expecting this product to work so well. Literally 10 seconds after spraying and gently stretching as the directions suggested, this was the difference! I let it hang for another 15 minutes with a subtle improvement, but the first few seconds after were mind-blowing." —Desiree

39. A bottle of streak-free Fog Gone to prevent the super annoying steamy glasses issue (I personally know the struggle). Now wearing masks doesn't mean having to clean your lenses every two minutes.
Fog Gone can work some real magic if it's applied the right way! First things first, note that it's meant for non-antireflective-coated lenses. If you've got those, simply spray a bit on both sides of your lenses, and then rub it in with your fingers across the entire lens. After letting it sit for 60 seconds, wipe off the spray with a soft, dry cloth. (Something similar to a lens-cleaning cloth will do just fine.)
Optix 55 is a family-owned small business focused on quality products that benefit eyes and eye health. They offer items such as computer glasses, sunglasses, anti-fog solutions, eye masks, and more.
Promising review: "I am absolutely amazed by this spray! I use it on my lenses before I go out shopping for the day, and I make it through several stores without my lenses fogging up at all. I really didn’t believe it was going to work, but it does. But it is important to note that this is for lenses that do NOT have anti-reflective coating. We tried it on my mom’s glasses and hers did still fog up some, because she does have anti-reflective coating on her lenses. My dad’s lenses do not have anti-reflective coating and it worked on his like it does on mine. It just baffles me that I didn’t know this existed and have been struggling with fogged up lenses despite trying several different types of masks, for these past few months. I’m telling you, you will be happy with this spray. Just make sure that you know if your lenses have anti-reflective coating or not." —daUPhere

40. A set of adjustable clip holders for when you're wearing a racerback top and don't want those pesky bra straps anywhere in sight. Simply attach a clip to both bra straps in back and they'll become totally invisible in front!
Promising review: "My bra straps spent more time off my shoulders than on them. I have bras that fit perfectly, but the straps are too wide-set or something. I'm so glad I bought these little bra strap clip holders because they've solved the problem. I've used them for three days now, and my straps have not fallen off of my shoulders even once in that time. Amazing! I love them! I put a clip holder on my bra and then put the bra on like a T-shirt — over my head, put my arms in, then fasten it as usual in the back — pretty easy. The length of the clip holders are adjustable. I have fully extended them to fit across the back of my 38DD bras. At first it felt a bit odd because it was different, but it doesn't take long to adjust to the feel of it. The strap clip holders do the job, and they are pretty cheap, so give them a try." —Polly Esther

41. And 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).
42. A set of rug grippers to secure the corners of your rug and prevent all the tripping that comes with it. These bad boys will lock your carpet down with easy peel-off adhesive that's strong enough to handle running kids, pets, and more. Bonus: they're designed not to leave any residue on the floor once they're removed!
Quick tip: make sure to clean your floors before applying!
Promising review: "BUY THEM!!! Stop looking! These are definitely worth a shot! I began to get my hopes up as I continued the search for non-slip pads for my new area rug (8x10). The rug was sliding all over the place when we walked in it, much less my boys 6–11...got these awesome stickies in the mail and was so excited to try them out. Followed the simple instructions and BAM!!! We can run and come to a haughty stop and it doesn’t budge. Needless to say I’m a happy camper and my rug is snug! :)" —Monica

43. An odor-eliminating candle because when you're around your pet 24/7, you may not even notice the smell taking over your home (trust me, it's there). This candle will make your home smell deliciously clean with scents like apple cider, fresh citrus, vanilla sandalwood, and TONS more.
Each candle is made with 100% soy wax and can burn for up to 60 hours. Feline parents also swear by this product for eliminating odors around the house!
Promising review: "I have tried so many candles to kill the odors that I 'think' I smell in my home. I have eight cats and though I know that my house doesn't smell of kitties, I also know that if I 'THINK' it does I have to do everything possible to make me feel better about any kind of odor. These are the best candles out there, I can't say enough about them. I ordered two and have one in my family room in the basement and one upstairs, my WHOLE HOUSE smells incredible. And you can't smell anything. It also takes away cooking odors so it not just for pets." —Kim Judy
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly also finds this candle helpful and said:
"Cleo clocks in hours luxuriating on the couch on the reg. So I light this bad boy to make the joint smell nice and eliminate any dog smells. Sure, regular candles help some. But this candle acts fast and I don't have to keep it lit for long, which is safe/good because I'm terribly forgetful. It comes in so many ~regular~ candle smells like Fresh Citrus and Pumpkin Spice — not just the de rigueur odor-neutralizing Clean Laundry or Fresh Air. And in case you're wondering, Mango Peach smells divine."

44. 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.
Promising review: "One of those items I didn’t know I needed until I had it. As a busy mom of two little ones, I can’t even remember the last time I got to finish a hot cup of coffee. Until now! This truly kept my coffee warm for literal hours. And I love the wood grain look of it. It’s nice and doesn’t look cheap at all. I’m going to keep it on my desk for when I’m working, and I’ll never go without hot coffee again!" —ADR80

45. 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.
Promising review: "This draft stopper is exactly what I need. An added, unexpected, bonus is that it not only keeps drafts at bay, but there is also much less noise leaking into the room. I wanted a draft stopper that would stay in place and not need constant adjusting. Mission accomplished! I also like that the foam baffles can be removed so the casing can be washed. A VERY successful, satisfactory purchase." —djc
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).
46. A memory foam orthopedic knee pillow for all the side sleepers battling chronic pain. The benefits of this cushion include reducing back strain, aligning your spine, promoting better circulation, and alleviating pressure on your knees!
Promising review: "Bought this knee pillow on a whim and regret not purchasing it sooner. I suffer from lower back pain due to a herniated disk and only feel comfortable sleeping on my side. Beforehand, only using pillows I'd find that they were a bit too 'fluffy' and wouldn't hold form, compressing overnight, and causing me to wake with lower back pain from time to time. This product has helped tremendously. It doesn't compress very much whilst sleeping and I find myself to wake up feeling more refreshed with little to no lower back pain. 5/5." —Zed R.
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
47. A lap desk that has a built-in mouse pad, wrist supports, and phone/tablet holders, because it's inevitable that you're working from the couch or bed from time to time. This will make it *much* more comfortable.
