    36 *Very* Useful Items That Just Make Sense To Have On Hand

    From personal faves like instant iced coffee makers, to personal care like soothing heat pads.

    1. Fragrance-free shoe odor absorbers, a charcoal air purifying bag that prevents the entire room from smelling like gross feet. You can even toss one in your gym bags or luggage to help with the stench of dirty clothes!

    These ✨reusable✨ odor absorbers come from small biz Moso Natural

    Promising review: "These things are AMAZING!!!! I can't believe how well these work!! I take my shoes off, pop these in, and overnight, any odor that they had is GONE!! I love that you regenerate the inserts by putting them outside in the sun, and after a year of use, you recycle them by sprinkling the carbon in your garden! Such a great and sustainable product!" —Elizabeth Klonowski

    Get them from Amazon for $9.95 (available in multi-packs).

    2. A portable car vacuum because you never know when you, the dog, or the kids will make a huge mess in the car — and you *need* to stay prepared. This vacuum will pick up all of the dust, dirt, and crumbs sitting on and in between the seats!

    left: reviewer before photo of car backseat floor full of sand and dirt / right: after photo of it cleaned up with the vac

    Promising reviews: "Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October, my husband and I went to the ocean, and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" —Julia Bright

    "This portable vacuum is ammmmmazing! I love all of the attachments to get the hard-to-reach spots! It gets the job done! TikTok made me buy it! If you are on the fence about this one... do it! Hit that buy now button. You will not be disappointed. Never putting quarters in a timed vacuum again. There is never enough time, and you rush around trying to beat the timer. Or is that just me? Haha." —Abigail

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in four colors/styles)

    3. A Kitsch microfiber hair towel that's made of super absorbent material designed to prevent frizz as well as gently and QUICKLY dry hair.

    Kitsch is an Asian woman-founded business!

    Promising reviews: "Kitsch Towel Wrap has made my wash days so much easier. It minimizes frizz and helps lock in all the moisture from the products I use on my hair. I definitely recommend it for all my natural girls or anyone in general 😁." —Mutiat Kakpovi

    "The perfect drying towel. This is my second one of these, and I love them! Plenty of room for my long, thick, curly hair, and it helps me cut down on the time it takes to dry. Having the elastic and the button also helps to prevent my curls from being pulled straight while drying. My first one is over a year old and still going strong, so these are great quality!" —M. Jenkins

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 11 colors/patterns).

    P.S. Kitsch has matching towel scrunchies, too!

    4. A mascara remover because it removes even the most stubborn, waterproof mascaras out there. Simply apply it just like mascara and watch the magic happen.

    BuzzFeed Editor Melanie Aman loves this product!: 

    "This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes."

    Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

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

    Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).

    6. A miracle-working Migraine Stick that gives you relief from headaches almost instantly. It's made with essential oils like peppermint, spearmint, and lavender that can even help clear your sinuses.

    Promising reviews: "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.

    "This stuff is my go-to fix when I feel a migraine coming on. I suffer from sinus headaches and migraines, usually once or twice a week. I put this product on each temple, under my nose, and on my wrists when I feel the pressure starting, and it cuts the pain to a minimum. It seems to stop the worst pain before it has a chance to start. Thank you for a great product! I will buy again and again!" —Brenton1985

    Get it from Amazon for $12.95.

    7. An IceBeanie headache relief cap — a Shark Tank-featured item that helps relieve headaches and migraines. And the best part? Instead of tiring your arms holding a cold towel to your head, you can go about your day freely. It's got a removable ice pack inside that you pop in the freezer when needed.

    IceBeanie is a small business founded by surfer and migraine sufferer Nick Lamb. 

    Promising review: "By far one of my favorite everyday essentials. The fit could not be more perfect; it fits on my head like a glove. The fabric is SOOO smooth, soft, and comfortable. It is lightweight and doesn’t feel heavy at all. I love that the entire beanie gets cool, not just sections of it. The color is so aesthetically pleasing, and I will definitely be ordering more for my family. This product is one of my favorites because it is multifunctional; I use it when I need to cool off, when I have a headache, when I do yoga/meditate, and so much more. Do yourself a favor and buy one; you will LOVE it!!!" —Mitchel L

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).

    8. A box of antiperspirant towelettes to keep you dry for up to an entire week! 🤯 All you have to do is wipe under your arms before bed, let them dry for five minutes, and have a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you'll have dry armpits!

    Promising review: "So happy I saw this on TikTok! I was skeptical about the product because I am a very heavy sweater. There has been no deodorant that has helped this problem, but these Sweat Block wipes have literally been the best thing I've found that has made the quality of my life so much better!" —Amazon Customer

    Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts two months).

    9. A rechargeable ring light because it'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!

    a reviewer takes photos without the ring light and one with, which is much brighter

    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. gel-enhanced seat cushion to not only help straighten your posture, but to also make your office chair WAY more comfortable. Hours of sitting won't hurt so bad with this!

    ComfiLife is a small business based in San Diego. They're all about pain relief, comfort, and taking care of your body.

    Promising reviews: "I've purchased similar items in the past that visually looked like this but were stiff and rigid. This is amazing. Totally eased my back pain from my quarantined-at-home desk job. Highly recommend." —Bellarosa555

    "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 $44.99 (available in three colors).

    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 doesn't quite fit your ears and you're always readjusting them.

    a reviewer wearing the hooks
    another reviewer holding it up on the Airpods

    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 lifesaver. 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 replacement 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 are plenty of backups. Great product and a great price!" —Chad Johnson

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15.95 (available for AirPod Pros Gen 1 and Gen 2).

    12. 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. It's slim and compact, and no cables/cords are necessary!

    reviewer holding the pink charger
    another reviewer charging their phone

    Compatible with iPhones, AirPod cases, and, according to reviewers, certain Androids, too!

    Promising reviews: "So convenient. Charges quickly and most importantly, [I can] charge my iPhone while on the go. Small enough, and no wires are needed. Bought for my whole family." —Howard

    "I have several power banks for remote phone charging, but they are all bulky and inconvenient if I am on the move. I ordered the Charmast charger for my Samsung phone because it looked like it would do what I wanted it to do. It's wonderful! I can hook it up and let it charge while I'm walking around. I connected it yesterday when my phone was running out of juice, and I was working in the garden. Perfect fit, does the job, reasonably priced. What's not to love?" —Teresa Gregory

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors and two-packs). 

    13. 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 veggies, fruit for your favorite desserts, and even ice in a flash.

    Reviewer pic of carrots in the middle of the white and black chopper
    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 give 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 it 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 $29.99 (available in four sizes and four colors).

    14. A large electric heating pad because it's soft, flexible, and great for cuddling up with to ease aches and pains anywhere on the body — your back, shoulders, thighs, etc.

    This pad has three different heat settings and an auto-shutoff for safety;* plus* it's totally machine washable.

    Promising review: "There isn’t anything I don’t like. I bought it for pain relief after my hysterectomy and my gosh is it amazing. It has a two-hour auto shut-off and is super easy to operate. The heat is perfect I use high mostly for the pain relief. It is so soft and comfortable. I have been using it almost 24 hours a day to assist in relief, and it is working. Love it!" —Lisa Socash

    Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in nine colors). 

    15. 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. 😅

    Jasmin Sandal / BuzzFeed

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer 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. I 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

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in multiple sizes or a variety pack).

    16. 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 stovetops 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 the 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 $4.99 (available in two sizes).

    17. An Apple AirTag you can leave in your wallet or purse, or attach to your keys so that your morning isn't spent in a frantic while you look for each of 'em. And when you're traveling, toss it in your checked luggage for some extra piece of mind.

    a reviewer has the airtag on their car keys

    To track your item, simply use your Find My iPhone app! The AirTag will even make noise if you select "Play Sound" in the app. 

    Promising review: "My boyfriend always loses his wallet, and he wanted Tile Mate and looked into all these others, but most of them had a distance limit. Whereas Apple AirTag is basically unlimited. If lost all it needs is Bluetooth in the surrounding areas to trigger the location. It is only connected to your Apple ID, so it won’t connect to anybody else’s phone unless they log into your Apple ID... The battery is included but lasts about a year or two. Very simple. No cords needed. Very sleek. It also notified his phone when it’s not with him on his phone, which is great. Great for all things, including luggage, pets, backpack, and kids. Everything trackable. Definitely worth the buy. $30 you can’t beat that for an Apple product...Greatest invention ever." —Mindy Nguyen

    Get it from Amazon for $24.

    AND (because I do all the hard work for ya) here's an AirTag keychain, a wallet with a built-in AirTag holder, and an AirTag card case. Check them out!

    18. sparkling wine saver to keep the bubbly as it should be... bubbly! No more wasting a bottle or rushing through one with this thing lying around. It works great for sparkling water, too!

    Promising review: "This stopper looks great, works great, and has quickly become the best in the drawer at our house. It's easy to put on and remove and has fit all the bottles I've tried it on. The tight seal it creates is leak-proof and preserves freshness. We took about a week to finish a recent bottle, and it tasted as good on day five as it did on the day we opened it." —Mike Dutkewych

    Get a 2-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).

    19. A pair of period-proof underwear because they work as an amazing alternative to wearing bulky, uncomfortable pads. They're designed to hold up to two tampons' worth of period blood and basically eliminate to worry and stress about leakage!

    Also, unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these. They're designed so they rinse right out in the sink with soap and warm water and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there. You can read the rest of the review on Bambody period underwear for more deets!

    Psst — reviewers love these undies but suggest sizing up!

    Promising review: "I bought one pair of these, and then bought 20 more. Then I said goodbye to all my tampons and pads!! These never leak, fit extremely well, and are suuuuper comfy!!! If you’re wondering if they would be worth it, do not hesitate any longer!! These are life-changing!!!" —Sj

    "I am so thrilled with how soft and comfortable these are! I was wearing another brand… they were fine but had a slight 'swimsuit' quality to them. These are a pleasure to wear! I just purchased two more packages so I can fully switch over to these." —M. Allison

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL, multiple colors, and in three-packs).

    20. pet hair remover that'll 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 as 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 Chom Chom 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 of 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 Chom never fails...Truthfully, it picks up more than enough for me to be satisfied." —L. White

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in three colors).

    21. 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 sports bra (five times a week) so bad. It was painful, and my skin was breaking in places all along my sports 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+ (available in three sizes).

    22. An herb preserver from BuzzFeed's Goodful collection! Reviewers say using this has helped herbs like cilantro, rosemary, dill, and more last *at least* two weeks longer than usual. When you're no longer on a three-day time limit, the cooking options are endless *and* money is saved!

    Promising review: "WOW! Has kept herbs fresh in the fridge for more than a month! I bought this at the beginning of the year, along with some parsley I immediately put in it. I just used the same parsley yesterday in a big pasta dish. I can't believe how long this has kept my herbs fresh. No weird, funky kale/sulfuric smell, and it still tastes great. Cilantro didn't last as long as the parsley has (but that's cilantro) but it still lasted for three weeks, WAY longer than the typical three days... But seriously, get this if you have herbs from the garden or want to save money." —Kemari

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    23. A reusable Revlon volcanic face roller because it'll absorb shine in seconds *without* messing up your makeup — how awesome is that? Simply roll it over any oily or greasy areas of your face and watch it work its magic.

    24. A hairbrush cleaning tool perfectly designed to get every piece of dust, hair, and dander buildup out of those bristles. *Immediately adds to cart*

    A reviewer's hairbrush full of dirt and hair
    The same hairbrush clean so you can actually see the base

    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, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't 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.

    25. 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 can’t finish your soda or maybe don’t have time? If you're driving somewhere, it’s difficult to handle a canned drink sometimes; you’re trying to take a sip, and all of a sudden, you hit a pothole. Soda up your nose, down your chin, on your clothes. It doesn’t have to be that way anymore — with these, you can enjoy your 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

    26. A set of five grocery bags that are machine-washable, rip-proof, and come in neat little squares so you can toss 'em in your purse. Using these instead of plastic and paper bags will not only save you $$$, but will help the environment as well. Yay for less plastic waste!

    Promising review: "I’m very impressed with these bags. I took two of them into Target today for groceries and ended up only needing to use one. These bags can hold a lot of items. They are strong, easy to clean, and fold up into the attached pouches within seconds. I store mine in the center console of my car. I have been promoting these to my friends and family, and they are already making purchases. These are worth every penny." —Cuesta Verde

    27. And a beloved Click & Carry grocery bag carrier so you can lift bulky, heavy bags with ease. This baby can lift up to 80 pounds while resting comfortably on your shoulder. This means you'll only need to make *one* trip bringing groceries in from the car. Yes, please!

    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

    28. wearable nail polish holder to easily get the perfect at-home manicure. No more risk of spilling polish all over the carpet! 

    P.S. Reviewers say it's great for crafters, too!

    Tweexy is a small biz based in Sullivans Island, South Carolina. 

    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, trying 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 were making a little nail polish gift basket for someone, I would definitely throw one of these in there." —SWD

    Promising review: "Fast-forward to finding these plant sticks on a BuzzFeed article and popping them into the soil, which took...30 seconds...and seeing fresh, green growth within the first couple of days. The plants look better than ever, and the spikes were so easy to use. You can't see them, you can't smell them, they're simple to handle, and nearly foolproof. Very pleased with them." —Amazon Customer

    30. A handy RFID-blocking travel wallet that's giving maximum Travel Dad vibes in the best way. It comes complete with (get ready): a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a zippered coin pocket, a key holder, AND a pen holder. All you need to do now is get to the airport four hours early!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen (¥), which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu

    31. 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: "YOU NEED THIS STUFF! This stuff is almost unreal. It’s a tiny bottle of mercy drops sent down from God him/herself. I had sworn off alcohol the past couple of months because it made me feel terrible the next day. You know the deal...tired, throbbing head, bloated feeling, congestion, the hangover works. I was skeptical about this product but figured I’d try it based on the reviews. I’m so glad I did because this will now be a staple in my life.

    For reference, my boyfriend and I split a bottle of Malbec wine (14.2% ABV), put the recommended amount of drops into the bottle, and swirled it around. Typically, we both would have woken up with nasty hangover symptoms, but we oddly woke up feeling refreshed. I did not drink a lot of water with my wine so as to offset the potential hangover, so I know it was all on this little bottle of heaven... It’s flavorless, so you don’t notice its addition whatsoever. Excellent product." —Amazon Customer

    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 it 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.

    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

    36. 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
