1. A pet hair remover if your fur babies love giving you hugs before you go off to work, leaving their hair all over you. This is not what your boss meant by a pet-friendly office environment.
Promising review: "If I could give this product six stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
2. A nourishing cuticle oil that's made from a blend of sweet almond, vitamin E, and jojoba oil. This oil will soften your cuticles and bring your nails back to life. Your cuticles have been a hot mess for way too long. It's about time you did something about it. You're welcome.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I've always had acrylic or dipped nails because my real nails have always been brittle and always break and peel. I decided to give my nails a break and wanted to try and grow them out. I can't even believe the outcome! They are stronger than ever and growing! I really wish I had taken a before pic to show the difference!" —JOE D.
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four sizes).
3. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets to clean your machine as it runs. No need to sigh in frustration every time you open your dirty dishwasher to remove your "clean" dishes.
Promising review: "Convenient, easy, quick way to keep the dishwasher fresh and working at peak." —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
4. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so you can effortlessly remove soap scum, grime and residue from your shower between deep cleanings. Simply spray in the shower once a week and let it sit for 8–12 hours. No one will ever know you went to brunch instead of executing your weekly cleaning day for the third week in a row.
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 $20.52+ (available in two sizes and two scents; also available in multipacks).
5. A bottle of professional grade callus-removing gel because as soon as you swapped your sandals for boots, your relationship with your pedicurist became nonexistent. Soak your feet (and towel dry them), apply this gel for a few minutes, rinse it off, then scrub with a pumice stone or foot filer—I promise, your feet will look and feel brand new. In fact, you may just end up booking a vacation somewhere warm so you can prance around barefoot.
Promising review: "This is a Hail Mary! This is hands down the best product ever!!!! I have been using this product on my clients and it has made my job so much easier and less time consuming." —Diamante Valentine
Get it from Amazon for $11.55.
6. A pack of teeth-whitening pens just in case you haven't had much luck with whitening strips or can't commit to wearing them 30 minutes every day. One pack of these comes with two pens that you can use ~20 times and only requires 30 seconds of daily application to whiten your teeth.
Promising review: "I was hesitant to try a new teeth-whitening product after using harsh whitening strips that caused pain and lingering sensitivity. But, as a coffee and red wine drinker, I wanted to find a solution. This teeth whitening pen is terrific. Easy to use, works well and does not have the downside of either the strips or the $450 option at the dentist. I also really love this product since whitening my front teeth is the objective. It is a great value as I anticipate the two pens that are included will last one year. I will definitely buy this again and am very happy to recommend it." —Rebecca Shehee
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack and as strips).
7. A pack of handmade fizzing toilet tabs that'll sanitize your toilet bowl all while emitting a fresh lemony scent. Best of all, they're made from natural ingredients such as baking soda, citric acid, and lemongrass so you don't have to worry about using harsh chemicals when cleaning your porcelain throne.
Happy Earth Boutique is a New Jersey-based small business that sells cleaning products and bodycare products.
Promising review: "These lemon toilet fizzies work great and I love that they are earth friendly. They come in an attractive little jar so you can sit it on the toilet tank and it looks so nice! Shipping was fast too." —Diane LeBreux
Get 10 from Happy Earth Boutique on Etsy for $12.99+ (available in four styles).
8. A box of cleaning K-Cups because you have a habit of ignoring the lit up descale button on your Keurig despite your morning cup of coffee starting to taste a bit...musty. Pop this K-Cup de-scaler in for one large cycle then follow with a large water-only cycle to refresh your machine in a flash.
Promising review: "Thought I was having problems with my machine. Used two cups to flush the entire coffee maker out and it started working like new. Totally satisfied!" —Dara Pazooki
Get a box of six pods from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a 12-pack).
9. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you can tackle almost everything you've been neglecting to clean because you just didn't know how. From dull jewelry to greasy stovetops, this "stuff" makes even the toughest cleaning jobs a breeze.
Promising review: "If this stuff isn’t in your arsenal yet, you need it. I accidentally got GREEN hair dye all over my white sink. Bleach, CLR, Magic Erasers — nothing touched it. The Pink Stuff was my Hail Mary while I was panicking about what I would tell my landlord. The stains are completely gone and I have a white sink again!" —Courtney Foltz
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
10. A nail file board in case you find it impossible to trim your dog's nails and wouldn't mind them doing it themselves for once (yes, you read that right). Don't fret: Training instructions are included with the scratch pad to help you and your fur baby get the hang of it.
ScratchPad for Dogs is a small biz based in Atlanta.
Promising review: "Love this scratch pad! We adopted our dog almost a year ago and he's been terrified of clippers and grinders since day one. We've never been able to maintain his nails due to his super reactive anxiety around nail care. That's all changed since we got the Scratch Pad a few weeks ago! He took to it right away and his nails have shown significant improvement in just a few sessions!" —Kira Armajani
Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $46.95+ (available in four styles and three grit levels).
11. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara because you've shelled out a lot of cash over the years splurging on mascaras that A. don't work or B. dry out after two uses. It's time to make a change.
Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing. I go from an eight-hour work day right to the gym and sweat...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E Weikert
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
12. A 100% natural, eco-friendly oven scrub so cleaning your oven no longer has to feel like a strenuous arm workout. If you're on the hunt for a plant-based oven cleaner that is loved by professional cleaners, look no further.
Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in natural cleaning products.
Promising review: "This product is amazing! It works fast with pretty minimal elbow grease. The stainless-steel sponge that comes with it makes it easier. And it smells great!" —Melissa C.
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in two scents).
13. A moisturizing hair treatment in case your thirsty strands have had it up to here with the neglect. If eight seconds is all you can spare, you'll be happy to know that's all it takes for this hair treatment to make your mane silky, shiny, and oh-so-smooth.
Promising review: "I was hesitant to spend $9 on it but Amazon had the cheapest so I got it and it has gotten the tangles out of my daughter's hair that nothing else would, and I use it about once a week for myself as well. I recommend it for anyone with tangle-prone or damaged hair." —Betsy H
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
14. Or a collagen-coating hair treatment that'll revitalize dry, damaged, and over processed hair literally overnight. If you've been a victim of excessive heat or chemical damage, sorry to say you don't qualify for compensation but this affordable hair treatment will make you and your hair feel a million times better.
Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough-looking but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie
Get it from Amazon for $7.48.

15. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement if you have a fur baby that suffers from itchy skin and seasonal allergies. From aiding digestion to enhancing the shine on your dog's coat, you and your pet will appreciate everything that this supplement has to offer.
Promising review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine... nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He’s the happiest he’s been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats... he eats these every time so that’s an added bonus!" —Darcie Nation
Get them from Amazon for $28.97+ (available in three sizes and five styles).
16. A pack of acne patches so you can literally tackle breakouts while you sleep. Spoiler: the "magic" in these acne patches is medical-grade hydrocolloid tape that draws out the gunk in your pimples. So yes, they actually work.
Promising review: "I have tried many of the acne patches that are becoming increasingly popular. This is by far the best brand I have tried. There is a good variety of sizes in this packet. I wash my face in the evening and apply a patch. In the morning, the patch is clearly filled and the size of the pimple has significantly reduced and redness is gone. It is honestly a lifesaver and it is an absolute steal for the price!" —Brankica Cosic
Get 40 round patches from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in XL square patches).

17. An odor-eliminating spray because pet messes happen but you don't need a smelly reminder every time you walk past your living room. Not only does this spray kill the smell and remove stains, it also deters your pet from having more messes in the same place.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby family's pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.
Promising review: "I have six elderly cats, and a few of them oftentimes leave smelly pee puddles to register their disdain at whatever cats get 'peed off' about. It's not a litter box problem and, although I've caught one or two of them doing it, I can't blame them all. This product works great on fresh messes as well as dried ones. After blotting up fresh pee pads, I saturate the area with Rocco & Roxie's odor remover and let dry. For dried stinky stuff, I just saturate the area and let it dry. It has a pleasant odor and completely eliminates the ammonia odor. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of products, and this one works the best. I buy gallons now just to have on hand. It's better than smelling that awful pee!" —mona mia
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).

18. A detangling brush to separate knots without pulling and breaking your strands thanks to its flexible bristles. Reviewers love this gentle brush for themselves and for their littles! It's just that good.
Promising review: "My toddler not only inherited my and my mom's curly hair, her hair is at least twice as curly than anyone in my or my husband's family. I have very strong memories of being terrified of hairbrushes as a kid and my daughter is no different with the fight to get her hair brushed and complicates our efforts to take good care of her hair.
This brush is amazing, before, getting tangles out could only be done in a bathtub with conditioner in her hair, lots of bubbles and toys as a distraction and A LOT of patience. This made it hard to get her ready for ballet class Saturday mornings, especially in the winter. With this brush, she'll let me put her hair up outside a bath (we still use detangle spray for babies with curly hair and water, but that is to try to somewhat tame the mass of curls as gently as possible and catering to my own childhood fear, not because the brush won't just brush through) she's interested in trying to brush her own hair. She even lets her dad brush her hair, which she wouldn't before because he just didn't understand how to go about it.
Anyway, we love this brush so much, I stopped using my own and used hers until deciding I definitely needed my own as well. Brushing her hair is no longer a stressful ordeal, and we couldn't be happier with it." —Katey M
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors).
19. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner and polish for those annoying fingerprints that magically appear on the fridge even though you've told your roomies about the handles so! many!! times!!! No one seems to care about your no-prints-on-the-fridge rule so you'll be happy to know that this spray creates a protective barrier to keep surfaces shining a bit longer than usual.
Promising review: "This is hands-down the only product that has ever perfectly cleaned my stainless-steel appliances. It deserves 10 stars because nothing else comes close to removing streaks and toddler fingerprints as easily and completely as this. I have tried for years to get my appliances to look like new. Everyone who has stainless should own this." —Danielle
Get a bottle from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in a two-pack).
20. A sheepskin rug brush because you're not imagining things—your rug is actually matted and could use a nice brush through. FYI, this rug brush can also be used for grooming the dog and even clothing, so you should maybe grab more than one.
Promising review: "Long story short, I had a messy, drunken incident that ended up with my family heirloom bearskin rug in the washing machine. The fur was all matted, and I didn’t know what to do. I called multiple taxidermy places that all told me that there was nothing they could do. So I decided to purchase this brush as a last resort, to see if I could possibly revive the hair with this brush. Well lo and behold, it did the trick and the rug hair looks as good as now." —April
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
21. A box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting face masks that can visibly transform skin in roughly 15 minutes. Will you look like a zombie when it's first applied? Yes. Will you care once you see how good your skin looks? No.
Promising review: "I have never written a review before but I am compelled to do so now. Let’s start with what my 41-year-old face looked like. I had bumps, tiny bumps all over my skin, especially my forehead. My skin NEVER felt smooth even with the prescriptions I was give to help with these tiny bumps. Rosacea = bad bad bad. So bad that it was actually causing my cheeks to have what appeared to be thickening skin. Wrinkles, some that were quite deep. My pores were friggin huge and getting bigger day by day it seemed like. I know that it says to use this product every three days. I chose to go with every single day for the first box of eight. The results were so amazing I decided on everyday for the second box. Even more amazing results. EVERY SINGLE ISSUE LISTED ABOVE NO LONGER EXISTS!!!! I moisturize deeply after rinsing and my face looks absolutely amazing. My face did not even look like this at 30. I am hooked and I will be buying no less than three packs every single payday so I can stock up on this stuff in case they ever decide to quit selling it. If I had 10 stars available to rate I would use them and more!" —Amazon Customer

22. A drill brush kit just in case you're tired of nearly breaking your back while scrubbing your tub. I know what you're thinking..."why didn't I know about this sooner?". You can't relive the past but cheers to a better future while cleaning.
Promising review: "I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces and the cone brush hits the hard to reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." —Jason B.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles).
23. A two-pack of Downy wrinkle-releasing spray for the days when the last thing you want to do in the morning is iron clothes. In addition to eliminating wrinkles, this spray removes static and odor and can even be used before ironing for super wrinkled pieces that need a little extra help.
Promising review: "We no longer use an iron at our house! We bought this originally for a cruise but were so impressed we continue to buy this! If you are on the fence, just do it. This is amazing stuff. All you have to do is spray, stretch/tug out the wrinkles, and go. So easy. Saves me so much time!" —absmobley
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.
24. A leave-in conditioner to help curly hair bounce back to life. Apply this product to damp or dry hair to revive curls, leaving them hydrated, soft, and shiny with minimal frizz and lots of definition.
Promising review: "This stuff is beyond 5 stars. I initially bought this for my son who is tender-headed. I have really curly hair and happened to break my ankle and was in the hospital for two weeks and couldn't wash and condition my hair like I do at home. I had what felt like dreadlocks in three places! I was hoping this would work on my hair and it was amazing! I completely soaked my hair with this stuff, waited a little while, and gently combed through it. I absolutely cannot believe how well it worked!!" —Bea
Get it from Amazon for $9.69 (also available in a two-pack).
25. A nongreasy CeraVe baby cream that'll help create a protective barrier on your baby's delicate skin. In this formula, ceramides protect the skin's barrier while hyaluronic acid supplies the skin with long-lasting hydration.
Promising review: "Finally, something that worked for our little one's skin. She was constantly scratching something — her fingers, the back of her knee, her neck, her elbow. It could be while she played or while she was sleeping; the worst would be when it woke her during the night. We tried everything we could think of from oatmeal baths multiple times a day, to Vaseline, prescription meds (betamethasone, eucrisa) from the dermatologist, and Aquaphor. The itching never stopped and splotches only went away for a day or two. We begged for something to manage her eczema. I found great information on the National Eczema Association website and found this product. With one application, she finally answered the question 'Are you still itchy?' with a smile and said, 'No!' She carries the tube around with her she is so happy. The rough patches are clearing up and she is not constantly scratching or uncomfortable. We would give this 10 stars if we could!" —D&N Scott
Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in two sizes).
26. A vegan laundry stain stick for those tough stains on your favorite blouse that you just can't seem to get rid of. Dirt, grease, and blood are just a few of the types of stains this stick can tackle. Did I mention it's all natural?
Shady Creek Farm is a North Carolina-based small business that sells natural soaps, body care products, cleaning supplies, and more.
Promising review: "I LOVE THESE. I swear these are better than the commercial stain remover pens!! Immediately after buying my first one of these I had a period *incident* that pretty heavily stained our white tencel sheets. I treated the area immediately with warm water and this stain stick and it got every last bit out. I’ve also removed oil and spice stains with these. I tell everyone about these goat milk stain sticks and my mom buys them now (she is also amazed), and I mailed one to my friend. These really work incredibly well, if you’re on the fence about buying just try one." —Tori Diaz
