1. A cold-brew maker guaranteed to kick those Monday morning blues to the curb. With its airtight design, you can brew your favorite coffee blend and store it in the fridge for a perfectly chilled cup every time. Plus, it's dishwasher safe so you can spend less time washing dishes and more time enjoying your delicious caffeine fix.
Promising review: "I bought this to make my morning cold brew as I really prefer them over hot coffee. Plus doing this at home greatly reduces your cost from buying coffee. Get your favorite sweetener, syrup or flavoring and you’re all set. If you drink a lot of cold brew you may want to buy two. That way you have one brewing, while the other is ready to drink. It’s a small container and doesn’t take up a lot of room. I fill the filter up with about 8 teaspoons of grounds, I just eyeball it now. Then I hold it over the pitcher and pour 2 cups of water over it to settle the grounds. Then I add 8 more teaspoons and 2 more cups of water. I let it sit at least 24 hours, although 36 or more is preferred. Comes out just how I like it." —KB
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in one quart and two quarts).
2. A hassle-free Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker that allows you to enjoy a delicious breakfast made in only five minutes. This appliance features multiple nonstick layers, each designed to cook a variety of fresh ingredients including eggs (with or without cheese), sausage, bacon, bagels, and biscuits.
Promising review: "Doesn't take any longer than a cup of coffee. I start the sandwich when I hit the brew button on my K-cup and they are almost done at the same time. I have a good breakfast sandwich and a hot cup of coffee before I head off to work in the morning." —Anna Hayden
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six colors).
3. A coffee mug warmer to ingeniously keep your coffee or tea warm throughout the morning so you won't have to keep getting up to reheat your drink. Your taste buds (and your productivity) will thank you.
Promising review: "This is perfect for keeping your coffee warm at your desk. I use this every day without fail and am planning on purchasing more to use as gifts for family. Be warned that certain wider base mugs will not fit on the plate. This only causes me to pause slightly when picking my morning mug, and isn't a deal breaker for me. Overall, great!" —Brittany D
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).
4. A feeding tracker because Fluffy's morning routine is important too. This easy-to-mount chart can stick to your wall or fridge with either the included magnets or adhesive stickers.

Some reviewers even use this to keep track of their pet's (and sometimes even their own) medications.

"I use it for my meds! Sure helps me to keep on track with my morning and evening meds!" — Leslie A. Roden
Get it from Amazon for $9.45 (available in silver and black).

Promising review: "Purchased this for myself and let me tell you, I haven't had a yoga mat as good as this one! Overall thickness is great especially for pre- and post-workouts and the comfort level on a scale from 1–10,I would give it an 11. Easy to clean/disinfect post-exercise as well. Definitely recommended. My mother and kids are even asking me to buy them their own." —NikeAM_365
Get it from Amazon for $28.62+ (available in nine colors).
6. A compact Beast blender to make a nutrient-rich breakfast smoothie or protein shake. Reviewers are raving about this small but mighty blender equipped with two blending speeds and that is absolutely beautiful.
Promising review: "We're only half way through May and I have already declared this the best purchase of 2023! It's attractive, quiet, and a *beast* at blending drinks with ice. This is the blender I've been waiting for." —Sharon B.

7. A splurge-worthy sunrise alarm clock that'll revolutionize the way you wake up. Say goodbye to harsh noises that leave you feeling groggy and irritable. Instead, wake up naturally and rejuvenated with a gentle, gradually brightening light and a selection of serene, nature-inspired wake sounds. This device will transform your mornings, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.

The device can be controlled through an app, which allows you to customize the light and sound setting to your preference.
Promising review: "This product may be pricey, but I recommend it to anyone I know. It’s the best way to way to wind down and wake up without relying on your phone. I guarantee this will improve your nighttime and and morning routine." —Madison

8. A Shark robot vacuum with the power to take care of all the dirty work so you can have *extra* time for something else — maybe even be able to sleep in a little. This robot vacuum features home mapping, which means it can navigate you space with ease and clean more efficiently. And if you hate emptying vacuum bins (who doesn't), you'll love the self-emptying feature.
Promising review: "This is our second Shark robotic cleaner and this one is great. We have two shedding dogs, three cats, a toddler, and an 8-year-old. Lots of hair and crumbs and Daddy Shark gets it all! We have it timed to run early in the morning so we start with fresh floors every day. The suction is super (picked up a pairs of my reading glasses) and it returns to base to empty if it fills during the run and then continues to clean every inch. It took a few days for it to map out the rooms, but it covers every inch. Under the sofa, tables and beds, the Shark gets it all. You need to pick up small toys, etc. before it runs. Our first Shark cleaner is now cleaning the gym and playroom downstairs. I’m sure someday they will be able to climb stairs! It was pricey but worth every cent especially cleaning all the dogs' fur!"—Joey P.
Get it from Amazon for $409+ (available in a 45-day capacity and a 60-day capacity).

I use it for my skin, face mainly, and my hair for the light smell. My whole family loves it, I have to buy them two at a time so that I can at least use them when I need or want to use them. I recommend using this as a natural moisturizer for both your skin and hair." — Charlie W. Gorham
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
13. A six-setting Moen showerhead that infuses essential oils directly into the shower water. Want an energizing morning? Try the invigorating lemon and pine scent.

Promising review: "I just love this! I don’t like sunscreen and saw this and had to try it. I love the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen for my face and wanted to try some thing else from their product line. It’s a dry oil sunscreen stick that I rub onto my arms chest and neck for easy sun protection. It leaves a beautiful glow to my skin that lasts all day long, and has zero smell. It has allowed me to achieve a golden look to my skin that I’ve never been able to before because my skin is very fair. I’m able to achieve it without ever getting a sunburn. This is a must have for me now." —Sara

It can also set alarms and timers, control smart home devices such as lights or thermostats, and provide reminders accessible from your calendar.
Promising review: "I love my Echo Dot. It replaced a big radio/alarm and saves lots of space on my bedside table. The time is easy to read, but the light is not glaring. I have the alarm set to wake me up to one of my favorite songs, and that is a big mood booster. I usually ask for a weather report right away, and Alexa is the first voice I hear every morning. By the way, this is my third Echo device; I have Echo Show in my kitchen and the original Echo in my den." —ilovelabs
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in white and blue).
18. A spa headband with matching wristbands for when you're doing your morning skincare routine and kind of don't want your arms soaked with water all the way down to your elbows. This set also helps prevent your hairline from getting wet.
Promising review: "I HATE WHEN THE WATER RUNS DOWN MY ARMS!! It’s even worse when the water drips off my elbows and all over the counter. This set solves everything! I was worried the water would soak through but it didn’t. The material is super soft and a perfect fit for my tiny wrist. The headband has three elastic bands so you can kind of tuck your ears in and keep all the baby hair around your face dry. Such a simple, yet genius product! I’ll be dropping these in stockings this Christmas!" —Alyssa J

23. A pilates bar kit for getting in a quick 20 minute workout first thing after rolling out of bed. Not only does pilates help with flexibility and strength, but it can also improve your posture and reduce stress. Walking into work with a confident strut and clear mind sounds pretty good, right?
