These wine glasses are the kind that you'll ALWAYS want to keep on hand, because they're inexpensive and cant be broken into a million little glass shards. Just be aware that they're not dishwasher-safe (I'm sorry), and need to be washed by hand.
ALSO! They're stackable!
Promising review: "These are exactly what I've been looking for. I wanted something with no stem that was unbreakable, and these are excellent! They stack for storing, are super lightweight, and really durable. I dropped one from about six feet high, it went skating across my Mexican tile floor, and there wasn't so much as a scratch or a nick on it. Plus, they're affordable!" —Vegan for life

Promising review: "This is the greatest thing ever! I bought this for a laundry room sink as a place to lay out sopping wet swimsuits, but it's the coolest. It's heavy, durable, shockingly attractive, and rolls up to nothing for storage. I will get a second for my kitchen and ditch the drain rack that never gets emptied. Plus, the warm grey color is gorgeous and matches anywhere in my house." —E. Cannaday

Psst, this also comes with tongs!
Promising review: "I purchased this ice bucket as a gift for my Mother. My parents love hosting small dinner parties, especially on their deck during the summer months. My mother loves her new ice bucket for both its attractiveness and functionality! The insulation works very well and as promised, has kept the ice from melting outside in the hot weather. The size is perfect for smaller groups and doesn't take up too much room on the counter or table. She also loves that it came with matching tongs that can be hung right on the handle!" —Dee

Promising review: "Best purchase I’ve ever made. Literally so convenient to have so many of these for such a cheap price! Absolute lifesaver. Also, I know it’s trashy, but just an example of another one of their uses — you could loop some of these together and make yourself an 'emergency belt' and it would work wonderfully." —Abacus

This sharpener has a coarse and fine sharpening option, as well as a non-slip base.
Promising review: "Do you find yourself hating the knifes you cut with? I certainly did. Always grumbling about not being able to cut a freakin' bagel or tomato! Although, as they say, it's often more difficult to cut something soft than it is something hard. In any case, do yourself a favor and get this very cheap sharpener. It works like a charm in a mere two or three swipes/pulls on the unit. Honestly, I can't believe I never thought to have one on hand before. It should be a staple in every kitchen." —Matt

This multi-purpose tray is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use!
Promising review: "This is great for stowing wet shoes and boots when you get home. I live in an apartment where I have no mud room or garage to walk through first when I get home, so I take my shoes off at the door then put them directly on this, as does my boyfriend. Very sturdy, plus it's easy to clean and sanitize!" —Suze

Promising review: "I love the design of this! My bottles don't fall over easily, it has lots of space, and I really like that it has holders for my razor and loofah! Very happy with my purchase." —Connie M. Barnes

This starter kit includes one sweeper, seven dry sweeping cloths, and three wet mop cleaning solution cloths. The dry sweeping cloths work like magic to scoop up dust and hair, while the wet cloths work to remove dirt and grime.
Promising review: "I couldn't live without my Swiffer! It works great on the hardwood floors. The dry cloths really pick up the dirt and all the pieces of crud brought in the house on the bottom of my shoes, and I like that the bottom is hinged so that you can push it under thin spaces." —goldenlvr

Psst, this organizer doesn't NEED to be used for shoes. Snacks, toiletries, charging cables, yarn, you name it!
Promising review: "Just what I was looking for to help me organize all of my shoe! My regular shoe rack by the door is full, and this one did not disappoint. This is the perfect space-saving storage solution!" —Kris

Psst, it's also cruelty-free.
Promising review: "I have asthma and reactive airways, and this is the only cleaner I have found that doesn't make me cough or wheeze when I use it! I use it on everything from my quartz countertops to stainless steel appliances to bathroom surfaces. I can feel safe using this around my family and pets and know that not only am I cleaning household surfaces well but I'm not poisoning anyone with toxic ingredients! Love this stuff and will definitely be ordering again!" —Amanda W.

This is one of those purchases that you will never ever regret.
Promising review: "I've owned this dish rack for over a year and can state unequivocally this is the best dish rack in the history of man. (How's that for drama?) While it sits on the counter, there is a pan beneath the rack that drains all water into the sink; it is just wonderful. You may pay a bit more, but you won't be disappointed in any way. There is even a rack for hanging your wine glasses to dry." —TobiGail

This mini stainless steel trash can is compact, has a fingerprint-proof finish, and has a five-year warranty!
Promising review: "I love this! I've purchased several of these now. I have one next to my Keurig coffee maker for the pods, and I have one in each bathroom. It's perfect for used q-tips and cotton balls! The stainless steel finish is beautiful, the lid swings easily, the black plastic on the lid is durable, and I've been using these for over a year and its not scratched or faded at all." —Ange

I'm not sure WHY, but whenever I really need scissors, they seem to go missing...
But in all seriousness! These scissors are great because the stainless steel blades can glide through anything, and they have a lifetime warranty.
Promising review: "I do a lot of packing/shipping and have gone through a dozen or so pairs of scissors over the years. These scissors are the best I've used! I use them for cutting cardboard, foam, and tape, and they haven't dulled or broken within a year. They're just as sharp now as they were when I first got them!" —John

This durable hamper also has removable liners, which makes it easy to transport your dirty clothes to and from the laundry room.
Promising review: "I can't believe I'm writing a review for a laundry basket, but I love it that much, so here I am. The quality of this hamper for $35 goes way beyond the price. It's attractive, stylish even, and very sturdy. I love it." —Alan McGinnis

Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago, and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great this is to a friend once. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has last us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." —Melanie Nolen

These hooks are the perfect way to organize lightweight items, such as measuring utensils, hats, scarves, pictures, and more! Plus, each package contains extra adhesives.
Promising review: "I love these hooks! I have them in our closet (for hats, scarves, light jackets) and in our kitchen (for measuring cups and spoons). I love how easy they are to put up and take down. If you make a mistake and put it in the wrong spot? No problem! Just take it off and use one of the extra adhesives." —A. Tran

These storage bags come with a tiny valve that you attach to your vacuum (or the hand pump they provide), which takes out ALLLL the air from inside the bag and compresses all the items inside. Plus, they're made with anti-microbial materials which means that yucky-smelling mold, mildew, and bacteria won't be able to weasel their way inside.
Promising review: "I didn't believe that this product would work, but OH HOW WRONG I WAS! I purchased the jumbo-sized bags, and I was actually able to place over 20 thick sweaters in one bag, and three leather coats, five pea coats, and additional winter clothing into another bag. I was able to store all our winter clothing away, which created a ton of space and eliminated overwhelming clutter." —VickyGener85

Promising review: "I love it. What a difference this made for our junk drawer! Before we had this, things were so hard to find and kept falling behind the drawer. Now, the same amount of stuff is in there, but we can actually find what we need. I just wish I bought this earlier!" —Alaina

These magnetic clips ensure that all packaged foods remain as fresh as possible! This is great for chips, coffee, baking mixes, frozen foods, etc.
PLUS! They are magnetic, which makes 'em perfect for hanging up notes, dish towels, or cleaning towels on your fridge.
Promising review: "I have been eating chips and various food products sold in bags for over 30 years and these are the best dang chip clips I have ever used! Don't look at any others, stop here, you found the best. Not the wider ones that slowly slide to the edge of the bag and finally slip off, not the small ones that pinch one tiny area. These chip clips are just NO JOKE. They have a great magnet and a serious chomp, reinforced by sturdy grippy plastic at the clamp part. Your chips are safe!" —S. Hoffman

This stand mixer basically mixes, kneads, and whips EVERYTHING. Goodbye, doing this by hand!
Promising review: "We've used this weekly to make bread dough and cookie dough, as well as for soups and mashed potatoes. If you are in the habit of making your food from scratch, this handy machine will take A LOT of the manual labor out of the job. We have been using it literally every week for the past three years and have never had a problem with it." —skykid14
