1. A Wi-Fi extender so you don't have to deal with shoddy internet service while working on your patio or balcony. This device covers over 1,200 square feet and can support up to 20 devices at once.
Promising review: "This solved our Wi-Fi issue when we're outside. Typically, we have no usable Wi-Fi signal when we are sitting in the backyard. Where we sit is about 30–35 feet from the office where the modem is located. Even with the back door open, we could not watch YouTube or go on the internet. We get the same signal strength with this extender as in the office even with the office and house doors closed." —AC

2. A handheld garment steamer that makes getting the wrinkles out of your clothes easy. Just unscrew the top, add a little water, hang your item up, and move the steamer up and down the item until it's wrinkle-free.
Promising review: "I LOVE this thing!! I bought it as an alternative to an iron (who has time to take out a big ironing board and heat up an iron in the morning??), and it was perfect. I have used this steamer on all kinds of clothes: sweaters, dresses, blazers, light blouses of all colors; it works very well on everything. Super easy to use and very easy to travel with as well." —AJ

3. A drain snake to easily unclog your drains yourself before having to call in the (expensive) professionals.
Promising review: "Economically priced, speedy delivery, ridiculously simple to use, and very very effective. Lo and behold, this little tool made short work of the effort, and the results were...well I won't describe the deeply caked mass this little tool unearthed out of concern that you might be eating while you shop online. All I will say is that this was money well spent, and I highly recommend it for your drain clog removal needs." —Jon Jones

Promising review: "We moved into a smaller house a few months ago and our closet was a mess. Taking half of my partner's T-shirt collection and all of mine, leading each of us to have a total of four boards, is working amazing. We now have room to not squish his dress shirts and I can go through my blouses and dresses with ease." —AbbyNotes
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two colors and three sizes).
6. A divided skillet with three sections so you can cook your eggs, bacon, and pancakes at the same time. You'll save time and reduce the number of cookware you have to wash. TL;DR: You'll get a tasty home-cooked breakfast with the convenience of a TV dinner.

Promising review: "These brass cable organizers are beautiful and high quality.

These little gold pieces add a touch of functionality and glamour to the sconces. Exactly what I was looking for." —Amy Margolis
Get a set of two from Brighttia on Etsy for $12.98+ (available in six colors and multiple quantities).
8. A rapid egg cooker which makes the perfect egg-based breakfast quicker (and dare I say better) than your fave fast food chain. That means no more missing the most important meal of the day, plus you can finally cross "cook at home more" off your to-do list.

It comes with a base, lid, measuring cup, poaching tray (for poached eggs), six slot boiling tray (for hard-boiled eggs), an omelet bowl, and a recipe/instruction booklet. Add eggs and water (depending on the type of eggs you're making) and your meal will be done in minutes.
Promising review: "If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. If you're particular about egg yolks like me and like them soft but not runny or raw, I've attached an image of a perfectly soft-boiled egg that was cooked as directed (I timed it, this one was 11 minutes. You don't have to time it at all as the buzzer will go off, just for reference). Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!?" —rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors and two styles).
9. A large woven storage basket because unlike when you throw everything into your closet, when you stuff everything in these things and call it "cleaning," it'll actually look chic.

Get it from Amazon for $87.99+ (available in 13 colors).
11. A toilet bowl cleaning wand which comes with a stick, six disposable pads, and a storage caddy. This will allow you to scrub every single inch of the bowl — even the rim will be squeaky clean.
Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and built up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session!" —Whitney
Get this kit from Amazon for $9.38+ (scented version available as well as a starter kit).
12. A 10-pack of Wonder Hangers for anyone who has more clothes than drawer space. One hanger can hold five garments, plus the handle can lay vertically, which gives you even more room.

It comes with four bins: a six-cell (for scarves/ties), an eight-cell (for underwear, etc.) a seven-cell (for bras), and a 24-cell (for socks).
Promising review: "No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." —M. Hanson
Get the set of four from Amazon for $13.57 (available in seven colors).
14. Interlocking drawer bins because right now, every drawer looks like a junk drawer. Keep all of your items organized and toss what you don't need — like your assortment of fast food condiments and duck sauce packets that you'll never use.
Promising review: "This set has been perfect for my desk at work. The clutter in my drawer was so annoying to sift through before I found the right pen or paperclip. Now everything is easy to find and well organized. Nice to be able to customize the arrangement as well. I may purchase more of these for cluttered drawers at home." —ccc_wood
Get the set of eight from Amazon for $12.96 (available in three styles).
15. A wooden bike shelf which proves you can turn anything into a piece of art — even your bicycle. It will finally be off of the floor and out of your way *plus* you'll feel like you live in an art gallery.
All We Do is a small business based in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. The brand specializes in cycling essentials like shelving, racks, and apparel.
Promising review: "It's perfect on my wall. My bike is out of the way and looks like a piece of art in my spot. I have metal studs in my wall so I had to make some adjustments with mounting to rack. However, it’s up there and holding my bike with ease!" —Moore Negussie
Get it from All We Do on Etsy for $102+ (available in 13 finishes and with felt padding and/or a strap).
16. A drill brush kit that will make your tub look like it was just installed. The scrubber attachment moves at turbo speed without leaving any scratches, so it makes cleaning extremely quick.
Promising review: "If I could give it 10 stars I would. If you have a tile shower that is the bane of your existence like mine...you need these! They clean what no human hands can in half the time. Still hard work to use but way better then the old fashioned way!" —jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $12.70 (available in six colors).
17. A two-pack silicone soup cube tray which is perfect for meal prepping, saving leftover soup, and broth. Each tray has four cells with four fill lines in each (½ cup, 1 cup, 125 mL, 250 mL) and it even comes with a lid to seal in odor and reduce the potential for leakage. But! Its best feature is that you can pop it in the oven (up to 415 degrees and without the lid!) straight from the freezer.
Souper Cubes are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. Each set comes with two extra large silicone freezing trays with lids.
Promising review: "I purchased these Souper Cubes two years ago for myself, and recently purchased them for my mom as well. I LOVE THEM! I've been making my own chicken stock for over a decade, and have stored/frozen it in both glass Mason jars as well as plastic storage bags. Defrosting a single cube or four at once is also so much faster. I can go from a frozen cube to hot broth in three minutes in my microwave if I forget to pull it out ahead of time when cooking. I haven't had any staining from tomato-based products, and these wash/store easily when I'm not using them. I would absolutely buy again." —Heather
Get the set from Amazon for $36.99.
18. A rust stain remover spray that will do the hard work for you — no elbow grease required. This spray breaks down grime so you'll only need to give your shower a quick swipe and you're done.
Promising review: "I used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of other brands. I will buy this again hands-down. I just sprayed, walk away for a few minutes, and wiped and rinsed." —Carrie D.
Get it from Amazon for $4.98.
19. A bedside clock with wheels which actually *jumps* off your nightstand so that you can't hit the snooze button again and again. Say so long to oversleeping!
Promising review: "This is the most amazing ALARM clock EVER. I have had trouble for years waking up on time. Not anymore with this alarm clock. You can't help but jump out of bed to the alien sounds and runaway movements of the clock. It's annoying at 5 a.m. BUT it does what's it's supposed to do — WAKE YOU UP! I will never live without this clock." —MC Florida
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in seven colors and in packs of two).
20. An all-purpose cleaner that's popular for getting tough stains out of fabric. Your furniture will be finally be rid of all those stains from sauces, juices, and coffee that you meant to clean as soon as you got home but... never did.
Promising review: "I had some dining chairs with cream upholstery that needed some cleaning. I have three small boys that make lots of messes and I do not see myself replacing my dinning chairs anytime soon until the kids are much older so I was looking for something to do the trick and clean up these embarrassingly looking chairs. I ordered this and this stuff wiped off 12 plus years of grime, food spills, red soda stains, etc! it removed it all and my cream chairs look brand new as if I just purchased them. What a difference I never thought 12 years of built on junk could be removed! Not only did it remove it, but it removed it fairly easy with very little elbow grease. They look as if I had been scrubbing all day long to get them clean! THIS STUFF." —Milky
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two sizes).
21. An exercise workstation bike for anyone who has put off going to the gym in the morning because they don't have enough time before work. This makes it easy to get moving and helps break up the day.
Promising review: "As a health provider, I was beginning to really struggle with work/life balance. I am a new provider and I only had time to exercise in the morning, but then that time was taken up by catching up with my medical charts. One night while feeling especially disheartened I thought about exercise desks but thought they would be cost-prohibitive. I was ecstatic when I found FlexiDesk. The product was very reasonably priced. It is easy to move and isn’t overly bulky. The desk is easily adjustable for a perfect fit. Now I can work and exercise at the same time. This is the best self purchase I have made for myself. Wonderful product. So pleased." —Jocelyn G.
Get it from Amazon for $399.99 (available in six styles).
22. Wet & Forget shower cleaner because are you one of those folks who absolutely hates cleaning but likes things to be spotless? Well, this stuff is perfect because it requires absolutely no scrubbing. Just apply the odorless solution to your tub daily and rinse it off with water to make your bathroom look like one at the Ritz — no sponge required.
Promising review: "This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves shower clean with no scrubbing actually necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is designed very well, with squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a longish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for quite a while now, and I love it. I highly recommend it." —Stephanie Martin
Get it from Amazon for $19.69 (available with add ons).
23. An automatic pan stirrer with a timer so you can cook your breakfast while you get ready.
Promising review: "Honestly, I laughed at myself for buying this. I stopped laughing the first time I used it! What a help, it freed me up to do other things while it stirred the sauce that needed constant attention. I bought another one and I am not laughing now." —Luvdvm
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $25.
24. A tub of The Pink Stuff all-purpose cleaning paste that is extremely effective without being harsh on sink tops, floors, rust, and much more. You'll finally be able to remove old stains that you had given up on (like the marker art that's been covering your walls for years).
Promising review: "Amazing product. 99% all natural... no chemicals, no toxic odor. Shower wall hard water stains completely wiped out. I used other products on my 10-year-old oven door and it never came as clean. First try, I wiped on, wiped off. (Recommended at least five minutes.) Second try, I applied Pink and left it over night. Baked on grit was softened enough I could use a spoon to scrap. End result... BIG DIFFERENCE. By far the best versatile, nontoxic, gentle abrasive product. I would love a case so I could go crazy." —ap808
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in two sizes).
25. An Amazon Echo Dot for turning on/off your TV, lights, changing your channel, adjusting the volume, locking your door, playing music, controlling your temperature, giving you the weather — annnnnd answering any other question you have without you having to lift a finger. Those tasks slow you down in the morning so let this device take a load off.
Promising review: "I finally caved and got the 4th generation. It has changed our life. I now find myself talking to Alexa more than my husband some days. Makes working from home a breeze since all electronics, lights, printer, etc. are now controlled by her. I keep saying I feel like the Jetsons." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors and four configurations).
26. A microwave cleaner and fridge odor absorber — just add vinegar and water to your "Angry Mama" before microwaving for seven minutes and it'll loosen the grime, splatter, and spills for an easier clean.
Promising review: "Wow. Just wow. It worked so well. I can't believe it actually worked, and with only vinegar and water. It even loosened up the goo in the corners for easy removal. Just wiped everything out with a damp sponge." —Deb
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three colors and with add ons).
27. Wad-Free laundry pads so that you'll never pull out a bed sheet wrapped around the rest of your soggy, wet linens like a burrito. Just attach these detanglers to your sheets, and you'll never have to worry about your clothes becoming knotted again.
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 [one for] the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out, and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling 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 $18.99.
28. Rubbermaid produce saving containers to extend the shelf life of those in-season fresh fruits and veggies that you just sliced! These anti-microbial pouches are sealed tight so moisture won't ruin your fresh veggies. You can eat them right out of the bag and toss your leftovers back in the fridge.
Read our in-depth review on these produce saving containers.
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE these! We buy only organic produce which does not tend to last very long and when you pay as much as we do for organic you don't want it going bad so fast. My favorite thing about these is that it keeps my lettuce crisp and fresh for weeks not days. I've been able to buy bunches of lettuce and keep them in the fridge for several weeks. I keep the second container for strawberries, asparagus, blueberries, etc., and it keeps them fresh for way longer now. Not only that but it prevents them from molding after only a few days so I'm not worried about having to eat my strawberries in two days now. Will definitely be buying more in the future. Totally worth every penny and super easy to wash and dry." —Jessica

Promising review: "Love this beautiful pan. I've been telling everyone about it! I really do use it for everything. It’s surprisingly light. The nontoxic/non-stick surface makes cooking that much more healthy and easy. I never even put the pan away (it’s always on my stovetop) because I use it so much and I love looking at it......my pride and joy." —Kerby C.
Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in eight colors).
30. A 12-pack of liquid ant killer bait stations to nip all those pests in the bud. Your little insect problem won't get in the middle of your day because these pre-filled Borax containing packs do all the work for you.
Promising review: "This is my first spring in my new home and around April, my cupboards started filling up with ants. I tried cleaning with bleach, and again with vinegar solution, but nothing kept them at bay for longer than a few hours. I ordered a bunch, and then went down the street to pick up extras from the hardware store. I set out the traps in the "hot spots" above my cabinets and by the kitchen sink. Within 12 hours, hundreds of ants were, I kid you not, SPRINTING to and from the liquid from holes in the caulking I couldn't even see. In less than 24 hours, no ants were bothering with the stray crumbs in my cupboard anymore." —EAC

31. A laptop cooling pad because the weather is only going to get hotter throughout the summer... and so will the bottom of your laptop as it sits on your lap. Add this to cart so you can comfortably work from your couch all season long.
Promising review: "Best purchase I have made in years. Only had it two days, but the first words out of my mouth to my wife were, 'I can work for hours like this.' If you work from home and like to work on the couch, recliner, breakfast nook, patio, etc, and you have your computer in your lap, this is an absolute must have. Not only does it keep your legs and lap cool, but it also keeps your computer cool and able to process much more efficiently." —Trent Thiel

32. And a cold brew coffee maker that has a built-in filter so you can get a high-quality cold cup of java to beat the heat, all without having to leave your home.

The pitcher is leak-proof and made from BPA-free titan that is stain, cloud, and odor proof.
Promising review: "This little filter is great. It makes the perfect amount of cold brew for a week for me. I usually steep for anywhere between 12-24 hours depending on how strong I want it to be. Grind your beans coarse and fill with filtered water and toss it in the fridge, can't be any simpler. I used to always drop $3–$4 a day on iced coffee or the VSC cold brew from Starbucks, so I can't imagine how much money this has saved me." —Jacob S.
