1. Garbage disposal cleaner that's not only easy to use, but also very entertaining to look at.
Here's what you do: Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear. Garbage disposer = clean and ickiness free.
Promising review: "WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" —VadersGirl

2. A reptilian juicer so you don't have to shed crocodile tears over squeezing lemons.
Get it from Amazon for $19.96.
3. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals that'll prevent both under- *and* over-watering, which I believe are the top two killers of plants.
Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." —Pattijwr
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes).
4. Little heart-shaped grippers to help with glasses that keep falling down your nose.
5. A set of special stickers that tell you when it’s time to reapply sunscreen. Cover it (and your skin, of course) with sunscreen, and the sticker will turn clear. When it turns purple, you know it’s time for another generous coating of sun protection.
Promising review: "I knew before my trip to Universal Florida that I was going to burn. I was like there’s no way around it. I’m going to turn red and then peel whiter underneath. Came across these on accident and oh my goodness I am definitely buying more. Not only did I not burn once, but I’m the only person on the trip who didn’t burn I offered them to everybody, and at the end of the trip everybody was asking me where to get them Lol." —Lulu

6. Jumbo divider sticky notes so you can jot down some summary notes on each section in your notebook.
Promising review: "These sticky notes are excellent. They come in a booklet, with a clear cover over and a cardlike paper with a blue mandala pattern at the back, which is really neat and beautiful. The colors are quite neon and bright and look exactly as the picture shows. The tabs are neat and noticeable at any angle, and are 2.4 cm, or about 0.8 inches, in length. The paper note itself is 14.8 cm, or 5.8 inches, in length. They came in neatly and safely packaged, with no dirt or paper-creasing in sight." —Malik
Get a single pack from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in packs of 1–12).
7. A pair of mop slippers that'll take care of dirty floors while you shuffle around looking for a clean coffee mug in the morning.
Promising review: "I buy mopping slippers. Yup, that's right. This isn't my first pair. So why do I like mopping slippers? I have a 2-year-old, and they're great for mopping up little splashes. Drops of water from doing dishes and the extra padding is nice. No paper towels wasted and it's immediate. Plus these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy for this functional novelty item. My last pair did not have this detachable mopping bottom. I enjoy washing both parts because I think it's cleaner but it's a nice feature." —G. Kim
Get them from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in four sizes and 16 colors).
8. A set of drill brushes so effective, you'll be shocked to discover how clean your home used to be.
The set comes with a two-inch flat brush, a four-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The drill isn't included, but you can grab a basic Black and Decker one ($29 on Amazon) that'll do the trick.
Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors and stiffness levels).
9. A magnetic-mounted torch you can take off the wall and bring with you when it’s time to go to the bathroom or groggily find some coffee without turning on the lights.
Promising review: "We wanted to light the steps going up to the bathroom and came across this excellent product. We have no electrical outlets in the hall, so a plug in nightlight was not an option for us. I read other reviews that mention the sticky back rips paint off the wall, so I went ahead and drilled a hole through the middle of the back plate, and used a screw to secure it instead; this way if I ever want to move the light I can do so. We will definitely recommend to friends and family." —biallasamantha
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two colors).
10. A cleansing jelly ball that smells like watermelon and cloudberry, because liquid cleanser is sooo last year.
Dallas & James Skincare Co. is a mom-owned small business that sells skincare products.
Promising review: "I am on my third purchase of the Watermelon Dream line. I am someone who has struggled with skincare lines for years. I have severely sensitive skin that in my 30s still also likes to act up like a teenager. I had used it over the summer and at the time felt like I hadn't noticed a difference. So when I ran out, switched to something else I had lying around and boy did my skin feel BLAH. After like a week I went online and bought the whole line again plus the mask. My skin is soooo much happier and now I am all in. The smell is light, not overpowering but still there and very good." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $28.
11. A colorful keyboard (and matching mouse!) in case you've seen all those TikTok desk setups and started to feel a bit jealous.
This keyboard comes with a mouse and a USB receiver (compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Mac) for easy connecting.
Promising review: "I love this keyboard! It's only been a couple weeks, but it makes me excited to write again. I ordered blue, it's lovely and easy to use, haven't had any problems with the keys being round like I thought I would. The mouse is fine, the connection hasn't had any problems yet. I feel like the price is reasonable, it's not super fancy with lighting, but it has a nice aesthetic and fluffy sounding clicky clackies." —Eric
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 11 colors).
12. A cherry toilet brush for those who are committed to all things kitsch, even in the bathroom.
Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly!! Fits nicely into my bathroom decor. It was delivered in perfect condition and I've used it three times now. If you're thinking about buying this...do it!" —Michelle Maroon
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
13. Iridescent pimple patches in fun shapes because zapping zits might as well feel like an art project. I wish all problems could be solved with a sticker.
Promising review: "I’ve used a lot of different hydrocolloid acne patches with varying results, but so far these are the only ones that seem to actually resolve the zit in a day or two. Others have irritated my skin, or are difficult to remove and pull at my skin; these don’t do any of that. They stick quite well, but come off without a problem when I’m ready. They are cute too, and I like that I can’t see the gunk it pulls from the outside of the sticker." —ML

Promising review: "I hate tying my shoes. I really do. As a result, I don't really stray from slip-ons, flats, flip-flops etc... These made it so sneakers are part of my world again. I know it seems like a little thing, but these made me so happy." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I can honestly say I was shocked to find this little gem, especially for the price. I have used it daily since it arrived at my doorstep. I’ve been taking it back and forth from home to work, but I will Instead buy a second one, and most likely a couple more as gifts, as Christmas is around the corner." —Helen Quigley

20. A space-saving whale strainer that takes up less space and is easier to clean than a regular colander. I think that's just whale-y great.
Promising review: "This item should be in EVERY kitchen — OMG. Beyond useful, as well as cute and whimsical. I use it when I need to strain something but but don't have the sink space to plop down a huge colander. Hard to see in the pic, but the bottom has a lip that snugly hugs onto the curve of a pot or bowl. Also great for when you don't want to strain off all of the liquid, just most of it, like when making ramen. Needless to say, this thing stays within reach of the sink at all times now! :D" —IMP117777444

28. A mini heart-shaped pan for heart-shaped eggs and pancakes.
Promising review: "I love this pan so much. It's literally so cute. I like the Neoflam brand and trust them quite a bit so I wasn't really too concerned when I bought this. The pan is easy to use and the eggs slid right out of it so it wasn't particularly hard flipping the eggs despite the shape of the pan. It also cleans really easily as nothing really stuck to it when I used it." —Christie
