We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. An ingenious sandwich cutter and sealer so you can make your own Smucker's Uncrustables copycats at home without spending nearly $10 for a box. Prepare for your life to be *utterly butterly* changed.
2. A cradle cap comb that'll remove dry skin from your bubba's scalp ~oh so gently~ using soft rubber bristles and a fine-toothed comb.
3. A sight word Bingo game if you've ever asked yourself, "How do I take the frustration out of learning sight words and make it FUN?" then this game is for you.
4. A bed rail fully capable of ensuring that toddlers who are ready to graduate to a "big kid" bed won't roll out in the middle of the night. It has thousands of 5-star reviews for a reason.
5. A nonslip Montessori silicone placemat designed to enable your toddler or preschooler to develop some serious life skills through setting the table independently. It's also chemical free, eco-friendly, and dishwasher safe.
6. A coconut and shea butter kids conditioning detangler with 10,000 5-star reviews (!!!) raving that it's the BEST STUFF ON THE PLANET. Just a few spritzes will combat hair woes — from making knots vanish after a swim to taming frizz when humidity is *through the roof*.
7. A suction cup bath mat, because the combo of wet kiddos, rough play, and slippery bathtub floors is nerve-racking to say the least 😱.
8. A canvas growth chart so you can keep track of your munchkin's height (who is growing up waayyy too fast 😢) without marking up the walls. Reviewers love that it can be rolled up and stored away as a cute keepsake.
9. A pack of diaper booster pads if you're on the verge of losing it because your munchkin has been waking up every single night with pee-soaked pajamas. These clever inserts will absorb the *flood* to stop diaper leaks ONCE AND FOR ALL.
10. And a pack of toilet seat covers to have on hand if your potty-trained toddler loves to get their hands ALL OVER gross public restroom seats.
11. A Haakaa manual silicone breast pump to catch every precious drop of ~liquid gold~ that would otherwise go to waste from one boob while nursing/pumping with the other. You may find yourself thinking, "This is the best $12 I've ever spent!"
12. And, if you're formula feeding, a genius instant water warmer that'll dispense water at the perfect temp whenever you need it. A godsend for anyone who has waited on a bottle to warm up at 2 a.m. while their hangry baby screams.
13. An ingenious portable vibrating pad you can tuck in a crib mattress, bassinet, car seat, or stroller to create gentle vibrations to help your munchkin drift off just about anywhere. No more driving desperately around the block playing CoComelon's "Yes Yes Bedtime Song" on repeat to get them to sleep.
14. A Melissa & Doug magnetic calendar that'll teach your preschooler the days of the week, months and the weather in a hands-on, interactive way. They'll jump out of bed eagerly to update it every morning.
15. A plant-based stain remover if your little ones, like the reviewer's son below, tend to come home from daycare covered *head to toe* in food stains. I mean, just look at the sorcery it performed on the shirt below.
16. A Diaper Genie pail designed to quickly trap the stench of poopy diapers in its odor-controlled abyss, before even a whiff escapes.
17. A PackIt Freezable lunch box that'll keep your kiddo's lunches ❄️ c-h-i-l-l-e-d ❄️ without weighing it down with bulky ice packs.
18. A sleep-training alarm clock that uses colors and stinkin' cute *facial expressions* to teach the kiddos when it's time for bed and time to wake up. (Does it make a grumpy face if they hop out of bed at 5 a.m.? Asking for a friend.)
19. A Baby Nasal Aspirator NoseFrida. Is it gross? Yes. But is it absolutely essential for sucking out snot and clearing up a stuffy nose, thus allowing you and your baby a full night's sleep? Any parent will tell you the answer is a resounding *yes*.
20. A white noise machine that'll drown out noises if you're watching Money Heist downstairs, enabling your 4-month-old or your 4-year-old to sleep soundly through all the ruckus.
21. A genius Whiskware pancake batter mixer with a BlenderBall wire whisk that'll let you whip up a batch of pancakes at lightning speed on hectic mornings — no separate mixing bowl, messy spoons or batter-coated countertops. Simply add your ingredients, shake, and pour from the spout. Breakfast's ready 😋!
22. A pack of inconspicuous corner guards to save you from a moment of sheer panic when your toddler comes dangerously close to a sharp coffee table (while teetering around like they're drunk). These will protect their fragile heads from big bumps.
23. A bug bite suction tool (invented by a mom) that's worth the Shark Tank hype. This ingenious device sucks out all kinds of bug bites, instantly relieving itching and swelling, so your kids aren't left trying to scratch their skin off.
24. An apple corer and cutter that'll pop out 16 snackable slices with just a push of a button and spare your tired hands. Easy peasy apple squeezy!
25. A printable back-to-school meal planner with over 300 recipes and ideas for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks to provide some ~major inspo~ and to take the stress out of each school week.
26. A detangling brush that'll glide through knots to turn your kiddo's daily hair-brushing ordeal into a painless experience minus the *ouchies or tears* (for both of you). Just trust the 40,000+ people who gave it a 5-star review.
27. A bath toy organizer with 10,000 5-star reviews (!!!) that reviewers swear will actually stick to your wall, tidy your bathtub, and keep toys dry and within arm's reach. What more could any parent ask for?
Promising review: "Not only is there plenty of room for six rubber animals, complete foam alphabet and 10-digit numbers, and other random toys, this organizer actually sticks to the wall! I used windex on the wall just like the instructions explained, turned the hook, and voilà! They stuck to a wall that's not exactly a flat surface. Also, I love this toy bag because it leaves corner tub space available for shampoo, conditioner, and soap bottles. In my house, that extra space is priceless! Don't look any further than this product. It is AWESOME."—Sara
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes and prestocked with toys or by itself).
28. A vacuum-insulated stainless-steel food thermos if you're tired of listening to kids complain about cold lunches. Now you can spice up their school day with minestrone soup or lasagna. Mamma mia!
29. A two-in-one silicone feeder pacifier set to help soothe achy gums and introduce new foods (without fear of choking). Just fill with frozen fruits, veggies, or breastmilk and let your LO chomp their way to ~cold, yummy relief~,
30. A box of wart-removing pads to help get rid of pesky, painful growths. Stick it on just like a bandage (meaning there's a high likelihood these will actually stay put on active kids) BAM — warts gone!
Promising review: "This stuff WORKS!! My daughter had a wart on the bottom of her foot for almost a year. The doctor prescribed two different creams that both burned her skin around the wart and stung very bad. These little pads were perfect! They cushioned around the wart so she could run and jump and play without pain. They also were super sticky! I was so impressed! It also only took three applications and her wart was gone! I have been recommending this product to EVERYONE!" —Sheena Stevens
Promising review: "Worked wonders for my son. My son is young and scared of going to the doctor so I bought this for him to try out before making an appointment. These worked great for him. Since my son is young and VERY active I was afraid he wouldn't keep it on long during the day so I put one on him right before he went to bed. They are just like Band-Aids with a circle where the medication is. It was very easy to apply. Just peel and stick. I also used medical tape to hold it in place just in case my son moved a lot in his sleep. Then I had him wear socks while he had it on. In the morning we took it off just to see if it worked at all and it worked. It removed this 'huge black seed'–looking thing. My son said his toe didn't hurt anymore. On the second day I used another pad and it removed another black seed but this one was smaller. I used a total of four pads and his sore is gone. So glad we went with this product instead of taking him to a doctor." —Zachariah Knight
Get 14 pads from Amazon for $6.96.
31. Sturdy and stretchy toy hammocks to corral their ever-growing collection of Squishmallows — while adding a dose of cuteness to a corner wall. No more stepping over a sea of stuffies on the floor.
32. A easy-to-apply SPF 70 suncreen stick because getting kids to sit still while you slather is an *impossible feat*. This stuff is specifically formulated to apply easily to wet skin (no need to towel-dry before reapplying) during water play.
33. And finally, a grossly adorable Shrek-shaped toothpaste cap perfect for getting any toilet-humor-loving kiddo (and fully grown adults) to actually enjoy brushing their teeth.
