    38 Time-Saving Products For People Who Swear They Don't Have Enough Time In A Day

    Sometimes you just don't have three hours to spend cooking dinner or doing your hair. But don't worry, I've got you covered.

    1. 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

    2. 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

    3. An eyeliner stamp to get you the ~perfect~ cat-eye look in seconds. No need to carve out 15 minutes of your getting-ready routine to create identical, perfectly symmetrical winged liner on your own. This stamp is pretty much a one-and-done type of situation.

    Simply line up the stamp from the corner of your eye to the end of your eyebrow and stamp to create the perfect wing on both sides. The stamp is waterproof *and* smudge-proof, so you won't have to worry about reapplying throughout the day. The pen has two ends — one for stamping and the other has a fine tip for putting eyeliner on the rest of your eyelid.

    Promising review: "I 100% recommend this product. I love this!!! I can’t say enough good things. I am horrible at making my wings even!!! This has been a lifesaver and so versatile. It has cut my makeup time in half!!!" —lilly1991

    Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes).

    4. 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). 

    5. An Instant Pot because it really does it all. Perfect for those the cooks with limited time and even better for noncooks with limited experience. It features 15 pre-programmed and customizable cooking settings for things as simple as soup or rice, to more complicated ventures like sautéing.

    Promising review: "I am a guy not too fond of cooking and cleaning up. I like working out and eating clean. I bought the 6-quart last weekend, and I can say my life is now on a different trajectory because of this product. Cooking and cleaning up is now a breeze. It cooks amazing foods. (I suggest getting a recipe book.) I can cook in large batches for the whole week without too much fuss. The best part is cleaning up. Due to the deep bowl, it doesn't splatter everywhere when cooking. I use it to sauté a lot. It has replaced my electric stove and even my microwave. I just ordered the nonstick bowl for it as the food seems to stick to the stainless-steel bowl when searing or sautéing. It's an amazing product." —TK

    6. And an Instant Pot magnetic cheat sheet complete with TONS of useful information like suggested cooking times, liquid ratios, and more. Cooking anything with an Instant Pot will be so much easier (and faster) with this!

    Amazon

    This Instant Pot cheat sheet comes from MGQ, a small business based in the Bay Area.

    Promising review: "I am so happy that I decided to give this product a try! What an amazing idea. I placed the smaller magnet right on the Instant Pot and use it daily for a quick reference. Instead of searching the cookbook or internet, I can just glance over and know in an instant how to program my IP for that particular product." —Olesya R

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four colors). 

    8. The Turbie Twist microfiber hair towel wrap because it's made of super absorbent material designed to prevent frizz, as well as gently and QUICKLY dry hair.

    Promising reviews: "I’ve used Turbie Twist towels for well over a decade. In that time, I’ve had to replace them one other time...It's an excellent quality product that does exactly what it says. I have a lot of fine hair that has varied between chin length and mid back over the years. Regardless of length, the Turbie Twist keeps my hair off my face while I moisturize and apply skin care, and also cuts down on dry time. The towels are absorbent and the microfiber prevents frizz because it’s not roughing up the cuticle. Highly, highly recommend!!" —Amazon Customer

    "Softness. I don’t have to worry about lint in my locs. Quick drying for my 4c hair." —Tawana White

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.50+ (available in 11 colors).

    9. A veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer since chopping by hand takes waaay too much time. With this kitchen gadget, you can quickly and easily chop up multiple fruits, veggies, and even ice in a flash.

    the same reviewer now showing how nicely it cut up all the veggies for the recipe

    It comes with a small-dice blade, large-dice blade, spiral blade, and ribbon blade that are interchangeable and gives you the option to chop, slice, and julienne vegetables. Plus, you get a lid with a built-in chop and a storage container to hold the veggies.

    Promising review: "I’ve had this for a couple of months now, and it makes my life SOOOOO much easier. Anything I’ve thrown at it, it’s sliced with ease. Tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onions, celery, carrots...EASY! I even use to chop the eggs when I make potato salad now since it’s so easy and makes perfect slices...What used to take me three to four mins chopping up an onion and then a face full of ruined makeup, now takes less than one minute and no makeup ruined. The blades are SHARP, definitely be careful when removing them. But the lock on the tray makes it easy and so far I haven’t hurt myself with it. Typically, I’ll use it and then rinse out the top and put it in the dishwasher. It’s been through on the top rack well over 20 times now and still looks brand new. If something ever happens to this one, I’ll be back to get another one. It saves me so much time when cooking dinner!" —Macygrey09

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    10. Lay-n-Go cosmetic bag because the amount of time you spend sifting through your cluttered makeup bag *has* to be stopped. This cosmetic bag fans all the way out to become a mat, making it 10x easier to see things in your collection. And when you're done, simply cinch the bag back up!

    Promising review: "I was tired of fumbling around in my cosmetics case and saw this. I was skeptical, but...WOW! On my recent two-week trip to Europe, with constant laying out and packing up, this item was wonderful. I could find what I wanted quickly, right away. Packing up was just a matter of pulling the drawstring. At first I wasn’t sure about changing to this bag, but now I could not do without it." —Mojosharkey

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in four sizes and 24 colors/patterns).

    11. A microwave rice and quinoa cooker to take a usually 20-minute task, and turn it into a faster, one-step, no-hovering or constant-stirring dinner. The bowl is designed to stop water from overflowing, plus when it's ready, dinner can be served in the bowl it comes with! Another step (and dish) saved. 👏🏾

    Promising review: "We love this rice maker! Prep time in just minutes... This has saved us so much time, especially when we need dinner done quickly! The rice comes out fully cooked... In the beginning, it may take a few tries, since all microwaves are different, (setting at 800) as recommended, you'll eventually know what amount of rice goes with what amount of water, etc.... I add salt to taste and a teaspoon of olive oil, and it comes out delish! When done, just turn it over on your serving plate or just serve it directly from the container... Afterward, just pop in the dishwasher, no hard rice scraping to do. Highly recommend!" —Ani

    12. Revlon One-Stop Hair Dryer & Volumizer because it has officially changed the haircare game! It makes ALL the difference when you're blow-drying your hair, when you've just showered and have to rush to brunch, or are just having a bad hair day. It produces gorgeous blow-out results and works for all hair types.

    Reviewers with everything from thin and short to wavy and fine to thick and curly hair love this One-Step Brush and say it works great for their hair types!

    Promising reviews: "This makes blow drying my hair 10 times much faster and better! I have 4c hair and usually after washing it would take me almost 2 hours to blow dry my whole head and my arms would hurt holding a brush in one hand and the blow dryer in the other. But with this it literally only took me an hour which maybe would've been less if I didn't take a break...I 100% recommend this dryer !" —Demii

    "My hair has gotten pretty long but my hair is fine and thinning and this tool doesn't tangle in my hair and gives me volume that makes me look like I have a head full of hair. So thankful for such an easy cost-effective one and done styling tool that creates a style that looks beautiful and full of volume for women like me who used to have A LOT of fine hair. Love This Dryer Brush!" —Becky Brown

    Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in four styles).

    BTW, Revlon's got a One-Step Styler specifically for curly hair, too for only $39.99! It has over 31,000 5-star reviews and has earned just as much love as the OG styler.

    13. A Mighty Handle that'll make carrying multiple grocery bags SO much easier! This baby can lift up to 50 pounds while you hold the comfortably cushioned handle. And you know what that means? You'll only need to make *one* trip bringing groceries in from the car. Yes, please!

    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

    14. formula dispensing machine because every minute counts when you've got a newborn baby in the house. This genius/life-saving machine mixes and warms bottles to the perfect consistency and temperature in seconds!

    Baby Brezza

    BuzzFeed Shopping contributor John Mihaly says: "Listen, listen, listen. Without hyperbole, the Baby Brezza has been one of my best investments for year one in babyland. Late-night feeds no longer become about fumbling, spilling, mixing, warming, and minutes later delivering a so-so bottle to a crying child. No, in seconds a measured and warm concoction is in hand and then in baby's mouth. Just add water to the tank and formula to the dispenser and serve bottles ranging between 2–10 ounces warmed to three different temperatures. The time, effort, and stress this wonderful machine has saved me from is emotionally immeasurable and worth the price tag. It even forces you to clean it after every four uses because that formula gets gunky and you get lazy."

    Get it from Amazon for $189.99.

    15. A breakfast sandwich maker so you can *literally* throw all of the ingredients into one pan and let this cool kitchen gadget work its magic in just a few minutes.

    Well, actually five minutes to be exact. Plus, if you want to make cleanup even easier, spray the rings and cooking plate with nonstick spray before use and after washing. And if you need some help with sandwich ideas, the maker comes with a recipe book filled with different combinations you can make.

    Promising review: "Normally, I am skeptical of things like this, but I saw the reviews and decided to give it a try. This maker works perfectly! The eggs are cooked through, the eggs do NOT leak when poured into the tray, and even after just four minutes, a thick sausage patty was heated all the way through. I 100% recommended!" —Crispybit

    Get it from Amazon for $46.99.

    16. weekly, bleach-free shower spray because you get to go about your day while it does the literal dirty work. Simply spray it all over your shower, leave it overnight, and then rise the next day! You'll have a squeaky clean shower with no time wasted on your end.

    Before: a dirty shower floor; after: the clean shower floor
    Amazon

    Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.54.

    17. 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).

    18. An adjustable hair 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 time and effort from you.

    Bestie Brands is a small business started by a hairstylist to help their grandmother dry their hair after having a stroke. You can either screw the mount into the wall or use suction cups for a more temporary solution. 

    Promising review: "Bestie hairdryer holder takes all the work out of drying my hair. I have long and thick hair so it's so nice to use both hands to style my hair and not have to hold a heavy blow-dryer. Very flexible positioning of the dryer where you need it." —Fair review customer

    Get it from Amazon for $34.95

    19. A Takeya cold brew maker 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!

    Promising review: "I have made my money back and then some with this cold brew coffee maker. I make a fresh batch each evening and have coffee for the next day (or two, depending on how much I drink) instead of going out to buy iced coffee everyday. I followed other people's advice and pour the water over the grinds as I fill the container. My coffee comes out strong and smooth the next day. If you love iced coffee, I recommend this product to save you time and money by making iced coffee at home." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in two sizes and three colors).

    20. A detangling brush that over 7,600 reviewers — with various hair types — absolutely love. It's got an easy-to-hold handle and bristles that detangle fast without pulling and damaging hair. Sounds like a major win to me!

    Tons of reviewers with different hair types (2c4a, and more) absolutely love this brush. Plus, the brush works on both wet and dry hair! 

    Promising review: "I love this detangling brush, I use it every time I do my wash day and it hasn't failed me yet. I have very thick, 4a hair and typically brushes fall apart because my hair is so thick but this one hasn't. I feel like my hair is properly detangled and I love using this to as a chaser for when I flat iron my hair." —Natorea Richardson

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors).

    21. A set of no-tie elastic shoelaces so you can slip right into your shoes and head out the door. Who has time to stop and tie (and re-tie) their shoes anyway? Hint: not you. 

    reviewer image of sneakers with no tie shoelaces in them

    The shoelaces can be used on both adult and kid's shoes! Reviewers also say these are great for making it easy to remove shoes while going through airport security. 

    Promising review: "At first I was skeptical that these laces wouldn't hold my shoes on tightly enough, but I decided to give them a try in my Converse Chucks. They're fantastic! I like the way the "hidden" fasteners sit inside the shoes below the eyelets, but on top of the tongue, and I can't feel the fastener at all with my foot in the shoe. I've had them in for around eight months, and they're still just as elastic as ever. They haven't stretched at all and show no signs of wearing out. I loved them so much that I bought five more sets to put in all of my shoes! No more triple knotting my shoes so they don't become untied. I tie knots pretty slowly so these laces have honestly saved me tons of time. I couldn't be happier with them." —lucidity

    Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 38 colors). 

    22. A garlic prepping set complete with a peeler and a mincer so you aren't the one doing all the hard, time-consuming work!

    Promising review: "I LOVE this product! I like the size of the garlic chunks that you get with this masher, and I LOVE how easy it is to clean compared to other garlic mashers. I love that you don't need to use your fingers to peel the garlic. My mom has been cooking with garlic with every meal for 50+ years and wants one now too!!" —Ann M

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    23. A laundry hamper so you don't need to take extra time separating right as you're set to do laundry. This hamper comes with three separate compartments so you can sort your clothes as you take them off. Plus, the bags are removable!

    Promising review: "This is perfect if you want to do laundry fast instead of sorting through colors, darks, and whites. It's great as the bags are detachable; you just have to take one bag instead of the whole hamper. It has definitely saved a lot of time doing laundry. It's not that big either, but it is decently tall. I'm 5'1", and it reaches my waist, so it's perfect to keep in a closet or bedroom if you don't mind it peeking out somewhere." —Jacquiline Guerra

    Get it from Amazon for $39.86 (available in five colors). 

    24. A windshield cover to protect your car from ice and snow... which means you don't have to spend extra time cleaning it off in the morning. It also protects windshield wipers and effectively reduces fuel expense since you wont need defrost your window every morning! #Blessed 🙏

    BTW, it's got adjustable straps for an easy installation and to ensure that it fits perfectly on any car window. 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

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    25. An app-controlled Shark robot vacuum you can let loose in your home to ensure every crevice of your home is cleaned and free of dust, dander, and pet hair. If you run it a few hours everyday, that'll cut down tons of cleaning time for you later!

    I have a similar Shark robot vacuum and think it is so great. We run it two to three times a week in the apartment, and it really does a great job at keeping the floor clean. It's easy to program a schedule that works best for you so you don't even have to worry about remembering to vacuum, this gadget will do it for ya. —Abby

    Promising review: "I absolutely love my Shark robot vacuum. It saves me so much time and works great. With two dogs, three cats, and kids, my floors were always a mess. I run this twice a day and my floors look great, and I haven't had to get my regular vacuum out since I have had it. I have one high pile rug that it may not get all the dog hair out of, but it works wonders on my hardwood floors. Also, I love how it fits in small places like under the bathroom vanity and side tables where my other vacuum could not. My only regret is not buying two of them (one for each floor) when they were on sale. Do yourself a favor and order this!! 10 stars!" —Chad Haney

    26. A set of clothing dividers, because these babies are sure to keep you organized *and* save you time while looking for that one top you just have to wear today. Cheers to limiting closet chaos! 

    The tags come with 30 printed labels included seasons, occasion (formal/casual), clothing type, and more. 

    Closet Doodles is a woman-owned small biz based in Missouri. 

    Promising review: "Every summer, I clean out my closet. Last summer, I used the Marie Kondo method and have done a very good job at keeping up with it since. So the job this summer was easier and took less time (mostly just purged things that were no longer bringing me joy), but I wanted to take it to the next level and these dividers fit the bill. The labels are printed in a pretty font, there are a great variety of them, and they go on quick and easy. I’ve still got plenty of labels left (they send you two sets, which technically would be for back and front, but I only put them on one side for now — the visible side) and even have a couple of actual dividers left too. Would definitely repurchase for future closet organization!" —MM&A's Mom

    27. An automatic pet feeder that allows you to schedule your pet's meals for up to four feedings a day. It can hold 5 liters of food, too — which basically is just peace of mind that your pet is covered even when you're not home.

    Promising review: "This cat feeder is amazing! We bought it for when we go on vacation in September but wanted to try it out before we leave. It was very easy to setup, and we have two feeding times a day. It has operated with batteries just fine. It saved our mornings from our two cats crying outside our door for food early in the morning! Have not had any issues with it for over a month. I would highly recommend this product for your vacation or your sanity!" —Amanda Roper

    28. Some Downy Wrinkle Releaser fabric 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: “Easy to use, convenient, and effective. I love this stuff!! I use it in my dorm room, since ironing anything in this tiny space is a pain. It’s easy to use, you just spray the front and back and pull on it for a minute to release all the wrinkles. It smells great – very fresh. Although if you’re very sensitive to scents/perfumes in your detergent this might also irritate your skin since the scent is kind of strong, but it does calm down when it dries. I do have slightly sensitive skin and it’s never bothered me, though. Plus, even if you do have the space to iron, it’s such a time saver in the mornings and great for things like T-shirts that don’t usually need to be ironed but are wrinkly. I think you would still need to iron things like dress shirts or pants, though. My mom has been using this for years, and it was great when I was a young teenager so that I didn’t have to get out the iron and make my mom worry about me burning the house down.

    I've been using the blood orange scented bowl bombs for a couple of months now, and OMG they smell amazing! Like, right when I opened the package. After during a thorough cleaning of my bathroom I always pop of these babies in the toilet as a last step to clean and make the room smell a little better (I have a teeny tiny bathroom so this little guy does the trick). And in terms of cleaning the porcelain throne, they absolutely work. My towel bowl always shines brighter after using one. It's also helpful that the packaging is plain ol' adorable and I don't have to hide or store it anywhere!

    Viren Apothecary is a woman-owned business based in Wisconsin that sells eco-friendly cleaning essentials.

    Promising reviews: "Literally can’t tell you how worth the wait these toilet bombs are! They smell absolutely incredible but not artificial, and they WORK. I have a new baby and two other kids, and my house is basically a biohazard because I’m short on time and energy. I just plop one of these puppies into the toilet, come back shortly and scrub, and they glisten. Even my husband, who has never voluntarily cleaned anything in his life, will clean toilets because the fizzers are fun. I was part of the BuzzFeed order rush, and so there were significant delays, but the communication was awesome and so friendly! Even though I had the long wait, it was absolutely worth it, and they have a customer for life. I’m so excited to try their other products!!" —Teresa Cambria

    31. 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.

    32. An ultra compact travel stroller that's lightweight *and* smaller than the size of a carry-on suitcase when folded up. That means it can fit in the overhead bin and that you won't have to wait around for it to be retrieved from storage after you deplane. Just open the stroller and go!

    It folds up so small that it was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2014 for the most compact stroller. It also has a sun visor with UPF50+ protection!

    Promising review: "This stroller saved our lives for our recent Disney World vacation. Our son turned six during our trip, is 42 inches tall and 40lbs. We debated whether or not to bring a stroller or rent and we are so glad we purchased this! I packed it in my checked luggage for our flight to FL and on our flight home, we were able to bring it on the plane as a personal item that fit under our son's seat! This stroller was so light and compact. We could literally collapse it on the fly to get on trains, skyliner and transport buses. It was also handy to quickly collapse and carry when walking through busy Disney shopping areas. It had the perfect size storage underneath for a few water bottles, snacks and small items. I was surprised how tall it was in comparison to the umbrella stroller we planned on taking and then the compact size it folded into. Our son was very comfortable in it and it helped us zip around the resort and parks while saving his legs some miles. Everyone kept asking us at the parks what kind of stroller it was because of how easy it folded and how small it was. Best purchase ever!" —Jess G.

    33. A microwave pasta cooker for *super* easy and convient pasta dishes. Seriously, you're pasta will be cooked and ready to go in 15 minutes! You may or may not be using this every night from now on.

    It's super easy to use. Just measure how much pasta you want to cook using the serving size holes in the top of the container. Then add water to the level etched on the side of the container. With the lid off, heat the container in the microwave. One serving usually takes about 12 to 13 minutes. Then put the lid on, hold the sides, and pour the water out. (This part will be very hot.)

    Promising review: "I love this pasta cooker! I use it every day! I like that the lid fits loosely so that I can quickly drain the cooked pasta without any spilling out. It is very sturdy and easy to use. When I am finished, I just rinse the starch off and that’s it! It saves me a lot of time and stores well. The only thing I would like more would be a choice for a smaller size. My microwave is too small so the cooker can’t turn on the rotation." —J. Reynolds

    34. set of press-on nails so cute, they look like you spent a ton at the salon, when they actually take much less time and money.

    Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful and in love with these. I used to get my nails done at the salon at least once a month and decided to try press on nails just to save money. I have used KISS previously but they looked fake and came off easily. I found Olive and June at Target and bought this star set. I am in awe of how amazing they look and feel. I have gotten so many compliments and questions about where I got them done at. I recommend these and I am definitely going to order some more sets." —Jaycee V.

    35. A steaming microwave cleaner that'll make it waaay faster to clean your microwave (so no more excuses!). Simply add in water and vinegar, then put it in the microwave for five to eight minutes. When it's done, just wipe clean!

    Promising review: "It usually takes me 10 minutes of scrubbing to get my microwave clean each week. I filled to the line with vinegar and put her in for seven minutes. Once almost done, I removed her and easily wiped the mess up in only a few minutes. I would buy again even if she didn't come with instructions. She does produce a vinegar smell so next time I will add lemon juice as others suggested." —Teli

    Promising review: "I am not a fan of 'extra gadgets' in the kitchen. They clutter things up as far as I am concerned. But this truly is a game changer for my hard-boiled eggs. I have tried EVERY method in the book for hard boiling. This cooks them perfectly — no gray rings. They peel with no struggles at all! The only drawback is that you can only do six at a time, but it goes so quickly that I don't even mind that all. Easy to use, easy to clean. You won't be disappointed in this gadget — it does what it is meant to do perfectly! —Sarah Z

    38. A TikTok viral rolling desk bike so you can knock out two tasks at once: working and working out! It's got an ergonomic design, adjustable height, and pedals that'll keep you active even when you have a long day of meetings. 

    Not only is the rolling desk bike compact, but the pedaling is also whisper quiet, there's eight resistance levels, and it will track your mileage, rpm, and more.

    Promising review: "I don't have room for an exercise bike or a desk in my small one-bedroom apartment, but now I have both, and it tucks neatly in a corner. I use this as a stand-up desk and exercise bike. It's easy to move, store, and looks decent. WFH has been challenging for me because I found myself hunched over a small laptop on my couch. This has changed my life for the better." —KatCo
