1. A suuuper popular ChomChom pet hair remover to roll over furniture, bedding, clothes, or anywhere you'd like your beloved cat's out-of-control shedding to *finally* stop accumulating. Best of all? It's totally reusable and doesn't require any annoying sticky film, making it eco-friendly and cost-effective!
Promising review: "This thing is magical and I wish I had found it sooner. Even the most stubborn of dog hairs that have been seemingly woven into the fabric of your couch are no match for the ChomChom. The satisfying click of the roller will have you ChomChom-ing every surface you possibly can, while your dog looks at you in cold betrayal for removing his precious fur deposits. He plots revenge against this new nemesis, revenge that is doomed to fail from the start, because the ChomChom is far too powerful. Meanwhile, you are transfixed by the serotonin rush filling your brain as your ChomChom fills with more and more hair, leaving a path of de-furred sofa in its wake. The dog barks in disapproval. You smile, finally sitting on fur-free furniture for the first time in a long time. Maybe you’ll even have friends over now." —Will
Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (you may have to click "See All Buying Options" to purchase it from ChomChom on Amazon!).
2. A highly rated Revlon hot air brush (with 260,000+ 5-star ratings!) that'll let you spoil yourself with salonworthy blowouts without shelling out lots of cash at the salon! No more juggling a round brush in one hand and a bulky hair dryer in the other.
I *finally* tried this bad boy out after receiving it for Christmas, and let me tell ya — it's worth the hype! I have curly hair that frizzes up just by hearing the word "humidity," and because I have a ton of hair, it usually takes me forever to blow-dry it. Not anymore! With this, my hair is completely dry in about a third of the time it takes with a regular blow-dryer (maybe less!), with no frizz in sight. If you're like me and have hair that tangles really easily, I would recommend brushing the knots out with your regular brush before you start, but once that's done, it does the job in no time!
Promising review: "I have mid-length 4c hair and this works perfectly! It doesn’t take too long to do. I started off on the low setting and went back over it with the cool setting. It really got the full length of my hair and my hair didn’t feel dry or damaged at all ( I rinsed it and used hair lotion and combed out my hair before I used the dryer)." —Jess
Another promising review: "I kept seeing this all over social media. I assumed it was a gimmick and I wasn't going to love it, let alone like it. I was going to use it, and figured with Amazon's amazing return policy I was probably gonna just return it. What do I have to lose? I have wavy/curly hair. Normally, my hair is still frizzy after I blow it out with a round brush and dryer. I have to add product to smooth it out and then go over with my iron. Not anymore. No more adding smoothing gels and serums that just weight down my hair, making it look dirty, or flat ironing it after. And...it feels so soft. And it lasts. Currently on day three of waking up with the best hair ever. What is this magical device?!?" —Kelli Michele
Get it from Amazon for $34.49+ (available in five styles).
3. A very handy and nerve-calming electric lighter for anyone with a sliiight phobia of using matches. This will help you light all of your favorite candles with confidence, save you money on lighter fluid, and easily reach low wicks in those super narrow candle holders. Bonus: It's really pretty, too!
BuzzFeed Shopping's Emma Lord says: "This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended-arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it. You can read my full Leejie electric lighter review for more deets!"
Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this in a TikTok. Knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite3012
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors).
4. An affordable handheld milk frother that belongs in your cart if you looked at last month's credit card statement and realized half of your salary was being spent at Starbucks (oops!). Now you can make all of your favorite foamy bevs at home without a fancy espresso machine or sky-high cappuccino budget!
Promising review: "Best frother that I've ever used...very comfortable to use and powerful, too. Got this to replace another branded one that zonked out on me after only a couple of months. Love love this frother. I use it to 'blend' my morning coffee with coconut oil. This frother is more powerful than my last. The stand is a nice little bonus to keep the frother off the table and from rolling off the counter. The handle is very comfortable to hold. The back (if the label is facing you), has an index finger rest. I highly recommend this frother." —N Duong
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in 24 styles).
5. A smudge-proof eyeliner stamp, because achieving the perfect cat-eye shouldn't be a major source of stress in the morning when you have approximately 385,638 other things to do before running out the door. Line your eyes using the fine end, and then *boop!* stamp the outer corners to complete the look sans shaky hands. No jagged wings to see here!
Oh, and it comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye!
Promising review: "I can't live without this anymore. It's so convenient, takes one second to stamp and it really is smudge-free...what a wonderful idea. I'll buy these for life!" —Amazon Customer
Another promising review: "Best eyeliner ever! This item was a 'TikTok made me buy it' LOL but overall, I am truly happy with this purchase. Thank you! Your product is truly amazing!" —Samantha Lopez
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in three styles as well as a combo set).
6. A Diamond Dazzle jewelry-cleaning stick with flexible micro bristles for getting into every nook, cranny, and crevice of your most intricate pieces. With this, those dull gems will ~shine bright like a diamond~ with hardly any effort or money — plus, it's small enough for on-the-go polishing!
Promising review: "The best jewelry cleaner. I was shocked at how shiny my wedding rings got — and stayed — after using this cleaner! My rings sparkle for weeks after using it and now I can't live without it." —Michele
Another promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in packs of two or three, and with jewelry wipes).
7. A highly rated car vacuum, because those Mickey D's crumbs aren't gonna clean themselves! It's compact enough to store in your car at all times and reviewers say its 16-foot cord will reach the backs of larger vehicles. Now you won't feel embarrassed whenever you give your friends a ride!
It comes with three attachments: flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle, along with a carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter.
Promising review: "Decided to buy this vacuum cleaner because we have a baby and we need to keep our surroundings clean. We were pleasantly surprised with the quick delivery, packaging, and the bag that it came with, making it very convenient to carry around and keep at one place. The vacuum itself is powerful, easily cleaned out the sand from the car seats, as well as the other dirt from the floor mat. The chord is long, so you don't have to worry about the back seats and trunk. Easy to clean, comes with an extension to get into narrow spots. We're satisfied!" —AsadaFries
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in black or white, as well as a cordless option) — don't forget to apply the coupon for 25% off!
8. A lipstick-size cordless portable charger that'll reeeally come in handy when there are no outlets in sight. It'll give you extra juice while you're out and about, and it's *so* much sleeker than those bulky block chargers. No more of this "leaving the house while your battery's at 19% and hoping for the best" nonsense.
I'd had my eye on this bad boy for a while, and finally ordered it to take on a two-week trip to Europe. Let me tell you: LIFESAVER. I'm the type of person who loves to spend hours and hours exploring new cities, but with the amount of photos and videos I take, my phone's battery tends to drain really quickly (relying on Google Maps to get literally everywhere doesn't help, either). With this, I knew I'd have some backup when there weren't any outlets nearby, and it was *so* nice not having to connect my phone to a clunky charging bank via cord. 100% recommend!
Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors) — don't forget to apply the coupon to save 15%!
9. A bottle of plant-based Puracy spray reviewers say will send even the most stubborn tomato sauce, oil, sweat, and baby poop stains packing their bags. Now you won't have to throw out your favorite throw blanket after your very adorable (and very not-potty-trained) puppy has an accident on it. 🙃
Based in Austin, Texas, Puracy was started by two best friends with the aim of making plant-based cleaning products that are gentle enough to use around children.
Promising review: "I try to use more natural products when possible when it comes to cleaning and laundry, and I won’t lie, it can be hard to find ones that work. I saw this one mentioned on a blog and the author insisted it worked amazingly well. Well, I’m here to tell you it does. This is literally the best stain remover I have ever used. Better than even the chemical-laden, big brand stuff! The pictures are of my son’s baseball pants after a muddy game. The front and backs were both completely stained with grass, mud, and other grime. I sprayed liberally and used an old toothbrush I keep on hand for stain-agitation to scrub it in a bit, then let it sit for a few hours before washing as usual. This was the biggest/toughest job I’ve tried it on, and dang! They came out nearly brand new! I wish I’d had this stuff last year. We might not have had to toss his used baseball gear. I’ve had it for a few months and even though I use it pretty regularly (I have two very active boys), I still have plenty. The value for price is really fantastic." —AshleeOdee
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes).
10. A Korean microdermabrasion mitt that'll buff away all of your dry, dead skin without the need for pricey spa treatments. The exfoliation comes from a skin-smoothing viscose fiber lining, and once it's cleared away all the flaky stuff, your skin will have an easier time absorbing lotions and creams. If you love a gross-yet-satisfying moment, this is for you.
Promising review: "I love these mitts so much. I wish I found them sooner! For me, brushes and loofas don’t give me enough exfoliation, and they fall apart and get gross too fast. These mitts are perfect. Also, they are way more cost effective and easier to use than a sugar scrub type product. I feel like these mitts will last a long time, and they’re easy to clean and have a loop so you can hang them to dry in your shower. I keep one at my place and one at my boyfriend's. They are a little rough, so it’s not something you want to use more than twice per week, and use gentle motions in sensitive areas. My skin is so smooth after I use these, and it’s helped me get rid of ingrown hairs on my bikini line. Just make sure to moisturize after using! I’m excited to use it for when I apply fake tan in the summer months." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (also available as a pair).
11. A luxe-looking passport and vaccination card holder, because if there are two things you don't wanna be without while traveling, it's those. Now they'll have a dedicated place in your bag, and you'll never hold up the airport check-in line by searching every one of your pockets while you go, "I know my passport's here somewhere!" ever again.
I bought one of these for my dad as a gift, and he absolutely loved it. Shipping took under a week, and it arrived in excellent condition. Oh, and the vaccination card slot is conveniently see-through so you can just flash it whenever you need to.
It's made by Henney's Boutique, a small biz based in LA specializing in handy leather goods.
Promising review: "Looks just like the picture and is very sturdy. I can tell this will definitely protect my passport and will last for many years. It was also nice that I could choose different colors for different family members. It makes finding the passport I need much faster." —Charity Briggs
Get it from Henney's Boutique on Etsy for $8+ (available in 15 colors and with extra slots).
12. A wireless remote kit, which lets you turn on lights and appliances from up to 60 feet away like a straight-up wizard. Listen, it's not being lazy if it's efficient!
Each kit can control up to three devices, and the signals are able to pass through windows and doors for up to 10 feet.
Promising review: "I have three sets of these and use them at home and at my cabin in the Rockies. They work great and power through walls. I use one to turn on and off a painting light that otherwise could only be turned on by climbing onto the fireplace and carefully reaching up and behind the painting to turn on. Why get up and stumble around to turn on a light?" —Lee
Get it from Amazon for $19.57.
13. A low-key brilliant Alleyoop Pen Pal that'll save some space in your almost-unzippable makeup bag, since it's a 4-in-1 eyeliner, lip liner, brow pencil, *and* highlighter. Incredibly convenient when you're on the go, and just so cool!
BuzzFeed Shopping's Jasmin Sandal loves this thing: "I didn't realize I'd ever use a makeup product in my twenties that had the ability to transport me back to something I used in sixth grade, but here we are; and here I am using a multitool pen...for my face. I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think it’s a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touchups come the end of the workday, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already overflowing makeup bag!"
Promising review: "Such a time saver to have this 4-in-1 tool! I use it daily and love that it is so compact." —Lauren F.
Get it from Alleyoop for $25 (available in three shades).
14. A time-saving Oxo Tot Grape Cutter, because having to manually slice small, round produce into bite-sized quarters for your child is just the most tedious thing in the world. With this, you can do a bunch at a time!
Psst: It's not just for grapes! It's also perfect for cherry tomatoes, olives, and many reviewers say it works for a variety of fruits!
Promising review: "The most ridiculous kitchen tool you never realized you needed and now cannot live without. When we went to search Amazon for 'grape cutters,' I was worried that we may have hit rock bottom. It doesn't get any more simple than slicing a freaking grape. I mean its not difficult, doesn't take an enormous amount of time, and isn't even really that inconvenient (at least no more than cutting any other toddler food)...yet, my wife and I found ourselves dreading the process every time our daughter wanted a handful of grapes. We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer, where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong. It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. I only take time to write reviews on products that I feel are truly worth my time to endorse, and this 'boujie' little gadget was more than worthy. If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...you wont regret it." —Michael
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
15. An unassuming shampoo scalp massager you'll be angry you didn't invent yourself — but will absolutely LOVE using during all future showers. Not only does it help evenly distribute shampoo (no more residue pockets!), it'll let you replicate alllll of those pleasurable salon scalp tingles.
Promising review: "Love this and can't live without it now! I have been using this religiously in the shower to massage shampoo into my scalp and to reduce dandruff. Both have worked. Could not shower without this thing. Just does the trick for washing your scalp without getting your fingers soapy, and makes shampooing much easier." —Taylor Davis
Another promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right, and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it, and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in three colors).
16. A pack of gentle 2-in-1 flossing toothbrushes that aren't just easy on sensitive gums, they'll also cut down on your nighttime routine. These bristles are 10 times thinner than the ones on your average toothbrush to get into alllll of those nooks and crannies harboring loads of bacteria in your mouth. 😬
Mouthwatchers is a small biz founded by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Their toothbrushes are made with silver-infused bristles to eliminate 99% of bacteria, and the dual-layered design helps the brush reach those deep areas where 95% of cavities form.
Promising review: "Let me preface this by saying, I hate flossing! I could never get through my entire mouth without setting off my gag reflex at least twice, and even then it never got fully cleaned. My gums are also extremely sensitive and bleed easily. To combat this, I have tried every toothbrush imaginable to get me a good clean with minimal bleeding; regular ones, electric, three-sided, 10,000 bristles — nearly everything besides a robot that will brush my teeth for me. I found these on BuzzFeed and immediately ordered them. I am so impressed with the way they clean, my teeth and gums feel so damn clean and my gums aren’t even swollen, or bleeding. It’s like being fresh from the dentist! These are certainly a toothbrush that I will purchase again and again!" —Katelyn
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $16.06+ (available in four colors and a variety pack).
17. A universal remote attachment, because watching a movie is waaay more enjoyable when it doesn't require half an hour spent searching for three different clickers. 🙃 Now you'll have all of 'em right at your fingertips!
It's compatible with Amazon Fire, Echo Voice, and IR remotes.
Promising review: "This is a great little accessory for your Amazon remote. I was tired of always getting my TV controller out to change the volume or input or turn the TV on or off, but this little addition does it all and attaches right to the Fire TV remote." —TDS
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
18. A detangling brush designed to just glide right through even the most snarl-prone hair so you (and your kids!) can be on your way to knot-free tresses without having to endure a painful "brush vs. person" battle. The flexible bristles separate hair from the side rather than downward, which is more gentle and helps reduce breakage.
This brush is designed to work on all hair types and also works on wet *and* dry hair so you don't have to time out your brushing.
Promising review: "Can't live without it! Honestly, as a woman with thick hair I have no idea what I would do without this brush. No more crying out in pain when I brush my hair because it glides through tangled hair like it's nothing. I am so grateful for this hairbrush!" —Ashley T.
Another promising review: "I loooove this detangling brush. It has replaced most of my detangling products. I use less leave-in and I don’t have as much breakage. It doesn’t catch in my 4c hair and I haven’t had a problem with single strand knots (if you know, you know) since I’ve been using it. I’m in the process of growing my hair out again just because it makes my hair care regimen so much easier. Dry or wet, you will get your money's worth and your hair will thank you!" —Lauren Ward
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 colors/prints, as well as sets of two).
19. And a very meta hairbrush cleaning brush equipped with not one, not two, but three ways of removing all of those shedded strands. The pointy tip reaches hair in your brush's small interior crevices, while the spiky bristles catch onto the strands and help lift them out. Finally, the stiff bristles at the end will take care of all of the dusty lint just floating around in there (ew!).
Reviewers recommend giving your brush a good soak in warm water after using this tool to make it shine!
Promising review: "This works so well! I'm a stickler about cleaning all the hair out of my brushes, and it used to take me forever. This thing cleans my brush in seconds. Such a simple tool, but now I can't live without it." —Jason S (written by Jerilyn)
Another promising review: "It seemed ridiculous to buy a brush for my hairbrush, but this really works! I had recently bought a new hairbrush and I was shocked by the amount of fuzzies and dust that it accumulated so quickly — it looked dirty! I found this and scrubbed my regular hairbrush and all the lint/fuzzies came out. The bristles are very stiff so I was worried about damaging the boar bristles in my hairbrush but it didn’t at all. I feel like my hairbrush is a lot cleaner now!" —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
20. A useful gadget called the Bug Bite Thing, because if mosquitoes just looove making a meal out of you, you're gonna want it with you at all times. This ingenious device sucks out the saliva or venom that causes itching and irritation in bites, and since it doesn't rely on creams or chemicals, it's completely reusable.
This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice (sea lice?!), and more!
Promising review: "It WORKS! I was skeptical, but now I can't live without it! It even worked on old bites that were itchy. So easy to use that even my four-year-old can do it." —Amazon Customer
Another promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and I have been having issues with mosquito bites. Used it a few time to relieve itchiness, and I am convinced it works! I have been recommending it to my family and friends. Read the directions and follow them carefully. Don't use this on your face or neck, or other sensitive areas. Don't do a lot of suction, just a little bit. And do it a few times if needed. Great invention!" —Joe
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four colors and several multipacks).
21. A bottle of Drop It to naturally reduce the sulfites and tannins in a glass of wine, aka the likely culprits of those headaches you're prone to getting after drinking. Stash it in your bag so you'll always have some on hand when you're at a bar or restaurant — and don't worry, your vino will still taste exactly the same!
It works with any type of wine, and one little bottle will last for up to 55 glasses!
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 enjoy!
Promising review: "I became really sensitive to wine in my 30s and through a lot of trial and painful error, I thought I might have to give up on wine altogether. Then I found out about the preservatives being a possible cause and decided to give this product a shot. So glad I did!! I'm still pretty sensitive to reds but this helps tremendously so that I can have a glass with dinner without a headache immediately settling in. Whites cause me no problem whatsoever! I love that it takes so little product to make a difference to a whole bottle. Just a few drops, a few minutes and we are good to go." —CastawayIrons
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
22. A clever butter stick that'll keep you from having literal "butter fingers" whenever you grease a pan. Just pop it onto one end of your butter for no-mess spreading — plus, it comes with a convenient dish for storing in your fridge.
FYI: Reviewers say it's designed to hold thinner sticks of butter, like the ones pictured.
It's made by Miami-based small biz The Magnetack, which also makes handy magnetic pushpin photo and poster holders.
Promising review: "Absolutely perfect. It holds a whole stick of butter and the butter stays in place — unlike some of the other products on the market that are supposed to serve the same purpose." —Michelle
Another promising review: "So convenient — no more greasy fingers!!!!!" —elyse rosenberg
Get it from The Magnetack on Etsy for $14.95.
23. A nifty little critter catcher, which traps those creepy-crawlies running around your house while keeping you — a person who can't even watch A Bug's Life in the dark — at arm's length. And since it doesn't kill them, you can release those spiders outside where they belong!
Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Initially I was hesitant that it would squish the little guys or they would fall out in transport but it's great! Highly recommend! Sorry your GPS brought you into my house, little guy, I will help you find your way back outside :)" —Crystal R
Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in three colors).
24. A highly rated lightweight deep-tissue massage gun to help soothe all of those kinks you randomly developed...out of nowhere?! Alas, we all knew the day would eventually come when mysterious aches and pains became a regular part of life, but having this on hand makes 'em a lot more tolerable.
It comes with five massage heads and five speed levels to try out — and weighs just 1.5 pounds!
Promising review: "I have had chronic issues with pain caused by severely knotted muscles. This massager changed my life! I have tried muscle relaxers, stretching, and many other things, but a couple of muscles in my upper back would just knot up with any stress, physical or emotional, and the pain was nearly constant. I used this for about a half hour on all of my muscles with the first use, and the effects were immediate and profound. Pain relief was instant, and occasional use for a couple of minutes to the affected areas has been able to maintain that relief. I loved it so much, I bought one for my brother, who says it is helping him tremendously, as well. I have charged my massager twice in the last two months, battery life is excellent!" —Patty S.
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in four colors) — and clip the coupon for $20 off!
25. A patience-saving pair of herb scissors, because why should you painstakingly mince all of those teeny-tiny parsley leaves when this handy gadget can do it for you? These scissors have five blades, so chop chop!
It also comes with a comb to clean the leaves out from between the blades!
Promising review: "I like to grow herbs and use them in salads, soups, and many other recipes. I received these herb scissors as a birthday gift, and can't believe how fast and easy it is to cut up cilantro, basil, parsley, lovage, etc. My husband tried them today too for the first time while making guacamole, and found that slicing the cilantro went very quickly. The storage case-cleaner is very efficiently designed, too. I ordered four of these sets to give as gifts." —Lucille P. Nawara
Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in black or green).
26. Or a handy herb leaf remover that separates the leaves from the stem in one fell swoop. No more wasting time picking each leaf off individually, and no more unpleasant stems sneaking their way into your food!
I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my sister's boyfriend, who loves to cook, and he was SO excited about it! It also shipped really quickly and was packaged beautifully.
Collin Garrity is the St. Louis-based woodworker behind these lovely tools, and his other minimalist creations include whimsical ornaments you'll wanna keep around long after the holidays are over.
Promising review: "Just exactly what I was looking for. The wood is smooth and comfortable to use and just pretty to look at. Quickly becoming a staple utensil for my kitchen." —David and Amy Emler
Get it from Shop Collin Garrity on Etsy for $16 (available in three types of wood).
27. A digital luggage scale, which should be on traveler's checklist since it lets you know just how much you can cram into your suitcase without it resulting in some — surprise! — hefty over-capacity fees. Now you'll have extra cash for souvenirs!
Just hook the scale to your luggage handle, lift up, and the LCD display will show the weight! You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements.
Promising review: "Took this on multiple overseas trips in the first two months. I can't believe I used to hold my bags and weigh myself and the bag on scales — and then subtract my weight. It was so time consuming, especially when we were either close to the limit or over. This small device literally saved us hours of frustration and possible unpacking at the airport check-in line. We couldn't live without this item now. We bought another one as a backup. Wouldn't hesitate to buy this exact item again." —AB
Another promising review: "Took this for a 10-day trip overseas with lots of flights. Weighed the luggage as things were added to it/purchased, and when we weighed in at the airport it was perfectly accurate. Very important when the airline will charge $70 more for a suitcase that is too heavy or make you open the whole thing up and take stuff out in order to fly with it. Saved so much hassle." —B. M. O'Connor
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in six colors, as well as a two-pack).
28. A three-pronged window blind duster brush, because even though the thought of cleaning each and every one of those slats probably sounds nothing short of extraordinarily taxing, it's gotta happen. Luckily, this handy device seriously cuts down on the amount of time it takes to do what is perhaps one of the least enjoyable tasks — with great results to boot. You're welcome!
Included are five reusable and washable microfiber cloths, which can also be used for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like air conditioners and car blinds.
Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job: cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value — being reusable, and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" —Sandy D

29. A revolutionary watermelon slicer that'll have perfectly cubed pieces on your table before you can say "Harry Styles." When you're craving that juicy fruit but don't feel like getting into an epic knife battle with a giant round object, this bb will be your best friend.
It also comes with a handy melon scoop so you can make cute little fruit balls!
Promising review: "This tool is so handy!! I hate cutting watermelon and this is so fast and easy to use and easy to wash. I cut a watermelon in less than five minutes. It cuts yellow watermelon, too!!! The included baller is great for the small leftover, hard-to-reach places." —Andrea Draine
Get it from Amazon for $12.37.
30. An anxiety-reducing security stamp roller, because you can never be too careful when it comes to minimizing the risk of identity theft. Use it to quickly cover up sensitive or personal information on nonglossy paper rather than shredding, and you'll feel much more at ease when you throw out your documents. Plus, you'll get 1,000 impressions out of each roller!
Each swipe can cover about three lines of text, making it impossible to read from the front or back. When it's *finally* time for a refill, you can purchase extra cartridges here.
Promising review: "I read a lot of mixed reviews of other rollers before deciding on this one. Some people mentioned the small size as a problem, but for me it's a plus. I don't have room for a big gadget. I was also put off by rollers that spread the word CONFIDENTIAL, drawing attention to what you're trying to hide. This one uses a pattern of letters that leaves an unintelligible black thicket of lines. I use it every day, and while it still has plenty of ink, I'm glad it is refillable. Highly recommended! Now I can recycle things I used to have to shred and discard." —rainforest
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five colors, as well as a multipack).
31. A handy little cleaning ball you just toss into your dust/crumb/lint-filled bag so it can collect all the debris hiding at the bottom. Roll it around, and the sticky surface will pick up any loose particles — and best of all, you can rinse it off and use it over and over again! If you've ever grabbed a piece of gum covered in sand (?!) out of your bag, this has your name written all over it.
Promising review: "I found out about this little gadget from a TikTok video, and I thought I'd give it a try. I usually keep some sort of snack in my purse, and as much as I try to keep the containers sealed and to keep my bags clean, I inevitably end up with those annoying little micro-crumbs at the bottom. As soon as I ordered this ball, I put it straight into my purse, and within a day or two, it was already time to wash it! It picks up a lot for being so small! Pro tip: To open it, squeeze the thick ring around the middle and it should pop apart pretty easily. Rinse off the sticky ball part with just water, then put it back together and let it air dry for a couple of hours. Good as new! I highly recommend this product. Whether you have kids or not, bags just get lint and teeny tiny little crumbs over time. Buy it!!" —Sarah Couv
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors, as well as a set of three).
32. A mini desktop vacuum I'm willing to bet will make you feel *so* much more productive and organized now that you're not distracted by all of the little mystery particles scattered around your workspace. Lunch crumbs, you've met your match.
It can also be used in your car and on other small surfaces!
Promising review: "Holy geez where was this all my life? This is the perfect crumb catcher/sweeper for your table. Have little ones who leave toast crumbs everywhere? Or a partner who drops little bits of stuff? This will vacuum it all up and voilà, clean table! It’s a nice compact size and can pick up sizable crumbs easily." —Kestrel
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in white or orange, and in several charging styles).
33. A very "why didn't I think of that" Creative Water Cup, which is made up of two compartments so you can guzzle down your iced coffee while staying hydrated with good ole' H2O without schlepping multiple beverage bottles around.
Promising review: "You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!" —Megan Huffman
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
34. An absolutely *genius* adjustable measuring spoon that comes in handy when you have limited drawer space, since it's really six different spoons in one! All you do is drag the slider to your desired amount, from 1/2 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon, and you'll get the correct size — no more digging around in search of multiple spoons.
Promising review: "I really like that I can use just one tool to measure whatever I need by adjusting the spoon size. I cook and bake frequently and this has been so convenient to use. I no longer have to worry about finding a specific spoon size and this takes up less room, which is key since I have limited storage space." —Amber O
Get it from Amazon for $19.34.
35. A fun-to-use batter dispenser, which will take the mess and stress out of preparing your weekend brunch. It's got a helpful measurement guide on it so you can mix up your batter right in the container, and when it's skillet time, just pull the lever for perfectly portioned pancakes — no batter splatters or dribble-drabbles in sight.
Promising review: "I got this yesterday, and my son asked me this morning if I would make him pancakes! I was happy to oblige, so I could try my new kitchen gadget, and it did not disappoint! I LOVE it! I made the batter right in the container, and it has measurements on it, so I didn't even have to get out my measuring cups. The batter came out perfectly and easily, and when I stopped the flow, it immediate stopped! There was not one dribble of batter anywhere, and the pancakes turned out perfectly! I cannot wait to make cupcakes with this! That was the main reason I bought it, because I always dribble cake batter everywhere when I try to make cupcakes, and it's a mess. I love cupcakes, but not the mess. Now I will be able to easily make them! I will most likely buy this as gifts for my family and friends as well. My advice, get it!" —Nikki
Get it from Amazon for $24.98.
36. An oh-so-satisfying Little Elf gift wrap cutter that'll help you achieve professionally straight edges and not jagged amateur cuts every time. Sure, it's the thought that counts, but everyone loves receiving expertly wrapped presents, and it'll make you feel like a regular Martha Stewart!
Psst: This genius product was on Shark Tank! All you do is pull out your wrapping paper to your desired size, slip it around the roll, and slide it down so its blade can slice through the paper in a perfectly straight line.
Promising review: "The Little Elf actually cut my Christmas gift wrapping time by two-thirds. It took me a couple of times to get the hang of how to use the Elf, but once I had it, it was simple. The cut is nice and clean, unlike what I was getting by using scissors. Wrapping paper has become so thin these days that unless the cutter (scissors, knife, whatever) is extremely sharp, the paper will tear. I looked at the cutters of about six different products, but kept going back to the Little Elf as the cutter was placed in the product at a slightly different angle. The angle aided in the nice, clean cut. Great product!" —Julia Henry

37. And finally, an Oxo 3-in-1 avocado tool, which safely splits, pits, and slices avocados so you'll be able to prepare IG-worthy avo toasts right in your own kitchen. Avocado slicing injuries are VERY common, so this handy gizmo could also save you a trip to the ER!
Promising review: "I've been doing it all wrong for all these years! Definitely makes the avocado cutting experience much less messy! We were worried this would just be a novelty item and not get any use, but now that we have it, we can't live without it! Plus my husband finds it oddly fun to remove the core, he practically snatches it out of my hand when it's time to remove it." —Rivers
Another promising review: "I love avocados, but I hardly ever buy them because they're so inconvenient to deal with. This tool ABSOLUTELY changes that. I knew I was getting something that would make it a little easier to pit and slice my avocado, but I had no idea HOW MUCH EASIER it would be. This thing is amazing!" —Edianter
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in several bundles).
