1. A compact camping chair that folds to the size of a water bottle so you can keep it in your bag or your car. It can hold up to 300 pounds, and sets up within seconds so you never have to sit on the dirty ground.
Promising review: "I can’t convey how compact these get. We fit two chairs and a collapsible camping table in a regular backpack so we can just grab it and go. The chairs are remarkably sturdy, have two pockets, open and close in seconds, and are just extremely comfortable. I could never carry around those giant portable chairs again. Just buy these, they are worth every single penny. I can fit two Cliq Chairs + a collapsable camping table in a backpack no smaller than what your kids would take to school. We always have it packed with a small sand-resistant beach blanket. Just grab and go. Even fits under an airplane seat for traveling. What a time to be alive!" —RJ
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in seven colors).
2. A watermelon probiotic underarm toner its creators call a ~shower in a bottle~ that can be applied before your deodorant to help it last all day. You can also use it to refresh the pits throughout the day.
Bella Skin Beauty is a small beauty brand founded by a mother-daughter duo that decided to start the company to provide clean beauty options for everyone.
Promising review: "As I've gotten older, I can only use natural deodorants; my armpits will not allow chemicals anymore. Natural deodorants don’t deter the stink when I get really hot. This does. Since I’ve added it to my routine, I smell clean and it’s given me such confidence. It’s a great product!" —Karen Y.
Preorder it from Bella Skin Beauty for $27.50.
3. A deodorant sponge because of course the ~little black dress~ we've been waiting to wear would get deodorant on it five minutes before heading out the door. No need to worry, just use this sponge to rub that deodorant out.
4. A TubShroom to save your drains from the massive amounts of hair and other *materials* that might try to escape your shower and clog the pipes.
Promising review: "No seriously, this is amazing. I have long hair and recently had a baby. It's a wonder I still have any hair based on the clumps I see falling out on a regular basis. This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged every time we turn around, and we're spending ridiculous amounts of time with that spiky stick thing you shove down there and then pull out over and over. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair then it would be worth it. Holy moly! When they say it catches every hair they aren't kidding. We clean it off about twice a week. And when they say it's easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off to be flushed down the toilet. I've already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!" —sasamo
Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in five colors).
5. A garbage guard because you're not the only one who's opened a garbage lid only to be run back into the house in full panic when all the bugs fly out.
Promising review: "Got an outdoor can — the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. Placed this on the inside of the lid near the hinge to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying and no flies/maggots and no apparent odor. It just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (thanks to litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.)" —Michael E. Bradley
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
6. A nail polish holder so you can paint your nails with ease, especially when it's time to paint the little piggies.
Promising review: "These are great! I've been looking for something just like it! I bought nine of these for the women that I exchange Christmas presents with locally. Great little gift! It holds the polish bottle well. It's easy to put the bottle in the ring. Very happy with these!" —knoxgal
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 22 colors).
7. A 20-pack of reusable magnetic cables with unlimited possibilities, from holding reminder notes on a refrigerator to organizing cables and cords.
8. A handy hook useful for anyone who refuses to make multiple trips to the car after grocery shopping.
Promising review: "These have been an absolute dream to own — my wife and I never go shopping without them. They're very well made and help us make fewer trips with more bags. It says they will handle up to 50 pounds per handle; I never bothered to weigh what I put on them, but they have held up under pretty heavy loads that I thought for sure would make them bend or break. So far, not a warp, crack, or bend in sight!" —MiseriesChild
Get two from Amazon for $13.95.
9. Some silicone stretch lid covers if you want a reusable solution for your leftovers because you haven't mastered the art of cooking for one.
Promising review: "This is truly an amazing replacement for plastic wrap or other covers that are not eco-friendly! And it saves you money in the long run! You can throw them in the fridge/freezer/microwave because they are made out of the most kitchen/earth-friendly material...silicone! Plus, they're easy to clean, easy to use, and durable as hell!" —Tammy Cardona-Zambeis
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $12.49.
10. A mess-free storage bin with a spout because I, too, am one of those people who spills rice all over the counter every time. This container is clutch because not only does it have an easy pour spout, but it also comes with a measuring cup.
Promising review: "Love these sooo much I bought three! I use them to hold rice, homemade breadcrumbs, and coconut flour. The caps make a nice airtight lid and they're very convenient to use, always right where to need them to be. The sizing on the bin itself is a little tall, so I store these lying down in my cabinets, otherwise, they don't fit. If you are looking for something to store your grains/powders/crumbs/seeds/cereal/whatever in, these bins are AWESOME." —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $12.72.
11. A strainer that'll clip onto your pot and make it that much easier to drain your pasta.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough good about this strainer. It fits all my pots, from small to huge and even frying pans! I have strainers, colanders, every kind of lid converter...this strainer is the best ever. When the pot is too heavy for me to hold to drain off the water, with this I can still hold on with both hands, and then when it is mostly drained, I set the pot in the sink to continue to drain. Washes up like a dream or you can toss in the dishwasher. I do not know how I lived without this strainer. Now I can get rid of probably 20 items out of my kitchen!" —SGA
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five colors).
12. A wine vacuum stopper because you're only one person and you couldn't seem to finish the bottle of wine that you opened after a really intense moment during a new episode of Law & Order SVU.
Promising review: "This is a really good tool for preserving wine. It came with two stoppers and I use it every day. It's easy to use and helps keep the wine fresh much longer. Living alone, I usually take several days to finish off a bottle, so this has been a great value for me. Highly recommend." —Rpal
Get it from Amazon for $14.07+ (available in five colors).

13. A set of wad-free pads to keep your bed sheets from tangling in the washer and dryer.
Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and not only did my sheets NOT wad up, but they also came out of the dryer feeling fresher, more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
14. A pair of sunblock curtains perfect for the days when you want to sleep in and don't want the sun waking you up. Or, for setting the scene for movie-watching.
Promising review: "Before I purchased, I read through so many of the reviews on these curtains. I had previously purchased similar curtains and was sorely disappointed when they didn't work, so I was a bit skeptical that these would be any different. But, I figured hundreds of five-star reviews couldn't be wrong — and they weren't. These do exactly as they say — block the light completely, and help to muffle sound. I live next to a busy highway and as soon as I put these up, it sounded like the highway was far in the distance. I track my sleep every night, and since I've had these curtains I've gone from a 60%–70% quality of sleep to 90%+ every single night. Highly recommend!" —Nichole
Get it from Amazon for $23.60+ (available in a variety of sizes and 24 colors).
15. A three-pack of plastic plumbing snake drains to clear your drains of the hidden gunk that's been collecting since you've moved in.
Promising review: "I have tried other items like this in the past and they worked OK, so I was not expecting much from this product; I just hoped it would help a little with our slow draining tub. WOW! Let me say, I have never been more impressed with an Amazon purchase ever! This item is so affordable, comes with three in the pack and works within minutes. I kid you not, after one pass, I ran out to the living in excitement telling my boyfriend how great it worked! As you can see in the photo, this baby does some work. After five minutes, my drain was 100% perfect clog-free." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5 (also available in a longer length).
16. A fabric defuzzer for shaving all those fuzzies off of your duster, off of your couch, and off of any other fabric that produces those tiny balls of chaos.
Promising review: "Hi I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything de-pilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Jensen
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six colors).

17. A set of light-dimming sheets, a godsend for light sleepers who can't seem to fall asleep with that annoying router light shining so bright.
Pack comes with two large light-dimming sheets (cut to fit your needs)!
Promising review: "What a time to be alive. I was lying awake at night wishing there was something I could do to make my hellish alarm clock less bright. I was really pleasantly surprised when I found out this product existed. I'm SO HAPPY that it does. I seriously don't know where my fiancé bought this alarm clock, but it has four brightness settings and they range from light house search light to surface of the sun. I cut one of these sheets and smoothed it over the display and it's AMAZING. I can still read the clock during the day, but at night it's now just the right brightness so I can see the time, but not burn my retinas when I crack my eyes open in the middle of the night." —Tiffany Marie
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99.
18. A bottle of makeup brush shampoo perfect for cleaning your makeup brushes and sponges without leaving behind residue. It's also cruelty-free and vegan.
Promising review: "Well, I can happily say that this cleaner does a bang-up job! My brushes were saturated with old color, to the point that I thought I might need to spring for a new set. Aside from just looking bad, though, all that old color was probably affecting pigment and application any time I used them. A little of this cleaner, a handful of seconds working it in and rinsing, and my brushes look practically as good as the day I bought them! Saved me a ton of money in new brushes, and it didn't take away from my being-lazy time!" —J
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
19. A beauty spatula to get every 👏🏽 single 👏🏽 ounce 👏🏽 of makeup out of your jar. Get the most out of your makeup budget and waste no drops.
Promising review: "I bought this a while ago because I loved using Tarte Shape Tape foundation, but I felt like there was often too much product I couldn’t reach using the built in applicator. Each bottle is 1 ounce, and I had five empties to test this spatula on. I got so much product out of these old bottles that I had to stop before filling my 2-ounce container. It was practically over flowing! Thanks to this little spatula, I now have two full bottles worth of foundation potted to use. So impressed! (And, considering the cost of each bottle, I saved about $70 worth of foundation that I love and is no longer being sold!)" —Krystal
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
20. A bottle of earwax removal drops that provides a safe and effective way to remove earwax buildup.
Promising review: "I've been having ear hearing and ear clogging issues for a month. My ear would not drain properly and it was frustrating me very much. I bought this product and used it twice and I could hear again. This is by far the best ear-cleaning product ever! Highly recommended!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
21. An elastic organizer that'll bring order to your chaotic life. Not only can you use it to organize your cords, but you can also use it to organize your makeup, stationery, and more. You can also slip it inside a weekender for easy packing.
Promising review: "I used to be like you. Wake up, blindly shower, maybe make some eggs if you have any energy left after those other chores. Weren't you planning on going to the gym this morning? Ugh, sorry health, lifting all the hard drives and other electronics from one bag and putting them in the other will have to do again, because it takes forever to get everything I need later in the day across the border from pack to duffle. Grid-It is like a Nexus pass for bags. Cross packs in seconds securely and hassle-free. You will be amazed by the gear combos you can pack on just one of these. I carry envelopes and stamps in the zip-up pocket on the back now and get a weird amount of admiration for keeping such old-school yet extremely relevant supplies on hand for friends or passers-by." —Josh
Get it from Amazon for $14.22.
22. A poop bag holder so you'll be prepared for every ~release~ your pet has on their daily walk. It conveniently connects to your leash and will give you peace of mind while you're wondering what on earth you fed Fido that made him have to pop a squat three times.
Promising review: "I went through so many junky plastic dog bag holders that easily break or pop open (despite their screw tops). Someone really put a lot of good work into this bag. Strong zipper, flexible nylon material and reinforced seems. The most practical feature of course is the carabiner clip. I'd highly recommend this product to anyone." —Jamie Cook
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in gray).
23. A pack of stash scrunchies complete with a secret compartment that can hold your loose cash in a safe and secure way.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The hair ties work great in my hair and keep it in place. I’m able to put money in the zipper part for when I’m out and it makes it so it never gets lost or stolen. I love how it came with three scrunches and also am obsessed with the velvet. I 10/10 recommended!" —Dimara
Get three from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two color assortments).
24. A set of sexy lace bands that'll create a safe haven for your thighs while you dance the night away listening to a local band cover '90s R&B songs.
Check out our more in depth bandalettes review.
Promising review: "These are fantastic! I've been using the deodorant-style anti-chafing rubs and wanted a longer-lasting option. Ding ding ladies!! This is it! So comfortable I fell asleep in them! No marks, no uncomfortable 'digging in.' I did measure my thigh to get an accurate size rather than guessing, but it is definitely true to that measurement. And they do take some fine tuning to make sure that they don't roll, but once you find that spot, they don't move!! I got the lacy ones and they are sexy and soft to the touch with the silicone on the top and bottom. Highly recommended!!!" —A. Spencer
Get them on Amazon for $16.55+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 17 colors).
25. Or, this water- and sweat-proof balm you can rub in any spots on your body that tend to rub and chafe.
Promising review: "Does what it claims! Helps me stay in heels, strappy shoes, and my vibrams without blistering up like I usually do. I find that I need to find time to reapply if I am going out for the night, especially if dancing is involved, but it's worth it." —Betty L.
Get it on Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes).
26. Double-sided tape for the nights you want to go braless but would like to avoid nipple slips as much as possible.
The adhesive is strong but super gentle on your skin, meaning it won't cause any irritation or redness.
Promising review: "This product works great! I wore a very low-cut maxi gown for my engagement photos and absolutely NEEDED tape to make the top portion stay in place/avoid a nip slip. This product totally did the job." —britt mo
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
27. A roll-on migraine stick because it's no fun to be out and about with a headache. Some reviewers say the stick took the headache completely away while others say it drastically improved the pain — either way, it's a nifty product to have on hand.
Promising review: "This stuff is my go-to fix when I feel a migraine coming on. I suffer from sinus headaches and migraines usually once or twice a week. This product I put on each temple, under my nose and on my wrists when I feel the pressure starting and it cuts the pain to a minimum. It seems to stop the worst pain before it has a chance to start. Thank you for a great product! I will buy again and again!" —Brenton1985

28. A pack of oil blotting tissues to keep that oil at bay. There's nothing worse than touching your face and being reminded of how much you love bacon. Bye bye greasy face!
Promising review: "I've had oily skin my whole life and have used countless types of oil-blotting sheets because they're lifesavers. THESE ARE AMAZING. Great deal, big sheets, and they pull out one at a time so easily. I used to use Clean & Clear sheets or knockoffs of the same thing but I'll never go back. Give these a try; they are completely worth it. They work well and are easy to use. No negative things to say at all." —Kelsey

Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $6.95.
29. Or a Revlon Oil-Absorbing Roller Stick that'll mattify the shine with its volcanic stone roller. Different from the blotting sheet, this roller stick won't disrupt the contour that you've worked so hard at perfecting.
Promising review: "This rolling device is like pure magic. Or voodoo?! You simply roll it around your oily areas and BOOM the oil magically vanishes into the ball never to be seen again! This is an item that #tiktokmademebuyit for sure! I saw a video on TikTok and immediately went on the hunt only to be disappointed that this item was sold out everywhere! I eventually got added to a waiting list here on Amazon and once they had it in stock again, they charged my card and sent it my way! If you have the chance to purchase this and you have oily skin, get yourself on the waiting list if you need to and just kick it until it shows up. You will be pleased. Thank me later." —Veronica Cooper
Get it from Amazon for $12.97.
30. A pack of Liquid I.V.s — a powder electrolyte packet that'll give you a boost in hydration by adding potassium, sodium, and glucose to your body.
Promising review: "I get extremely dehydrated after even one alcoholic beverage. I get hungover just looking at a drink. Before I know I'll be consuming alcohol, I drink half the stick and then the remaining amount before bed. This stuff is amazing at how well it prevents/weakens my hangovers. I tell everyone about it. It is a little pricey, but it does the job." —Kaitlyn A.
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $16.85 (available in lemon-lime and acai berry flavors).
31. A pair of comfy and foldable Rolly Flats you can slip into your bag for when you finally decide to abandon your #OOTD for comfort.
Promising review: "I bought these to change into on flights and bought the small size. I am a perfect size 6; these are snug but very comfortable and cute! I am going to get another pair in the medium for use with heavy socks or longer flights where my feet might swell. I think these are perfect to put in your purse and a good value!" —Bobbimrn
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 15 colors).
32. A disgustingly satisfying set of Sticky Stake insect traps to trap those pesky gnats, thrips, and fruit flies that try to move in to your plant community without paying rent.
Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately I added a new houseplant, plus repotted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan
Get it from Amazon for $6.50.
33. A pack of hanging vacuum bags in case you need to create space in your closet. These are the same kind of bags you store your winter blankets in. Now, you can use them to give yourself more wardrobe real estate in your closet, too.
Promising review: "Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" —Jia Yan
Get a set of four from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in six colors).
34. A pack of furniture pens to keep your furniture looking good as new for as long as possible. These repair pens clean up minor scratches and scrapes like nothing ever happened.
Promising review: "After moving our furniture, I noticed a few scratches on the TV stand. I looked everywhere here in Hawaii for something moderately priced to match the stand to no avail. I found this product on Amazon and it exceeded my expectations! Not only was it a great price, but there were 12 different options to choose from so I was able to find something that matched the TV stand perfectly! This kit includes six wax crayon-looking sticks and six actual markers. The crayon things are for if you have a deep gash and the markers are for basic cover ups. Mine was just a cover up so I mixed two of the colors and I seriously can not tell where the scratch was now unless I get super close and feel the wood grain for the scratch mark." —nalokaloka
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
35. A broom and squeegee combo because you probably have no actual idea how much hair is secretly residing in the fibers of your carpet. Brace yourself.
Promising review: "I have long hair. Due to a thyroid issue, I lose more strands than I used to. Every few days the hair starts to accumulate on the bathroom floor. This broom picks up all the hair from the tile just going over it once. It even gets the strands on the edges and corners. Unlike regular brooms, all the hair stays on the broom until I remove it instead of strands falling back to the floor. Thanks to a review I read before ordering this broom, I also use it on the carpet before vacuuming. I quickly pull it toward me, and it grabs all the hair from the carpet. It only takes a minute or two per room and I no longer have to remove the roller brush from the vacuum and cut all the hair wrapped around it every month." —Lorrieanne13
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
36. Or, a pet hair remover to collect all the fur that's left all over the house like little piles of buried treasure.
Promising review: "We have a golden retriever and I've struggled keeping our bedding clean because she sheds bad and I don't have the heart to not let her sleep in our bed. The dog hair just gets tangled in the fabric and I'm constantly aware of it because it gets everywhere. I've tried lint rolling, but everything just rolls up in the roller and it's a nightmare. Vacuuming doesn't really work without a battle either. I would nearly be in tears and would waste so much time trying to get mediocre results from vacuuming and/or lint rolling. This is literally so much easier and quicker. The next picture of all the fuzz in my hand is from all the bedding, mind you this was one day after it was all washed and dried. Do yourself a favor, and buy this ASAP." —Kellynn
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
37. A door draft stopper for keeping those chilly winds from seeping into your home, battling your space heater.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a sizable gap under my back door, and these do the job to keep hot and cold air out and in depending on the season. It's easy to apply, sticks very well, and is easy to cut to length. I used scissors. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a metal door so a typical weather strip was not an option. This just sticks to the door; it can’t be any easier. Highly recommend." —Sean M Flanagan
