1. A minimalist glass tumbler with a silicone sleeve that'll protect your fingers from the 83 ice cubes you stuffed in your iced coffee.
Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and automatically liked it! I love that it comes in so many different colors and the top is wood. I drink lots of water and needed a cup I could take with me everywhere. I could also put iced coffee in it too. I love that it came with two straws — a clear one and white. I will be purchasing another one for my husband and also one for my mom in different colors!" —Rose
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in dozens of colors and in multiple packs).
2. A toilet seat lifter because no matter how often you clean your porcelain throne, there's stick something extremely icky about having to lift the seat with your bare hand.
Promising review: "Why not encourage clean bathroom habits, right? Especially with two young boys in the house, buying this just made sense. The tabs have stayed on for over a month now with no issues. It’s also great that the box comes with two. The only reason why I was hesitant to get them was because I thought it would look ugly, but they’re not too noticeable at all and don’t get in the way either. I’m very happy I found these!" —Daphne
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.95 (available two colors).
3. A "Purse Gummy" — AKA a nonslip, grippy strip you attach to the strap of your bag to prevent it from falling off your shoulder every two seconds. I'm looking at you, tote bag lovers!!!
Promising review: "I recently bought a high quality leather shoulder strap handbag and was having problems with it sliding off my shoulder, since the leather strap was fairly smooth. So I went online and searched to see if there were any products out there that would solve this issue...and I found the Purse Gummy! It works beautifully! No more struggling with a slipping strap. It is hardly noticeable on the strap since it is on the underside, but I wouldn't mind it if was seen because it works so well." —D. Dillon
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three colors).
4. A set of sheet keeper bands if nothing sends you into a red hot rage quicker than reaching into your linen closet and pulling out every single fitted sheet *except* for the one you're looking for.
Sheet Keeper is a woman-owned small business based in Los Angeles.
Promising review: "Great product. Came quickly and they work great! Such a great idea to keep sheets organized and together while being able to tell what size bedding it is. Will order again for sure!" —devonhansen1
Get a set of two from Sheet Keeper on Etsy for $15.99 (available in sizes twin—California king).
5. A rechargeable electric lighter with an aesthetically pleasing rose gold finish. No more reaching your entire hand into your nearly-finished Yankee Candle with a BIC!
This one is not only *so* pretty, but it's completely flameless. Also, it has a long stem so you can feel safe lighting even the last bit of candle wax remaining in the jar.
BuzzFeed Editor Emma Lord has a full review of the Leejie electric lighter for more deets!
Promising review: "Works like a charm. I 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).
6. A remote control caddy you can throw over the arm of your couch so you don't have to spend precious time digging through your cushions to find it. If you've ever had to download an app on your phone to replace a missing Roku remote, this is for you.
D&L Awesome Living is a Vancouver-based Etsy shop with an array of lovely home goods from aprons and flatware sets to drying racks and lunch bags.
Promising review: "This is the best! Such great quality, finally a cute and functional place for remote/phone/hiding little things from our baby and toddler. :) Arrived in a few days. Thanks so much!" —Emily Hildebrand
Get it from D&L Awesome Living on Etsy for $14.80 (available in two colors).
7. A wad preventer to ensure your sheets don't tangle themselves up into a Boy Scout badgeworthy knot *and* not even get clean in the process.
Wad-Free is a small biz from Cyndi Bray. Their products are made in the USA. Just pop the corners of your flat or fitted sheet into the device and you'll never have to deal with tangling and twisting again! Believe it or not (I mean believe it...the reviews are there) the manufacturer even says that your sheets will dry 75% faster and with fewer wrinkles.
Promising review: "I was skeptical when I first heard about these, but I saw good reviews and gave them a try. I immediately regretted not getting more so I could do a full load of just sheets but even having only two was a huge help. These things WORK. I'm buying four more right now." —Juliet S.
8. A super-cool hand soap that'll leave a lil' foam flower or paw print in your hand. It's so cute, it might (emphasis on the might) even convince your kids to wash their hands after they use the bathroom!
Promising review: "I will admit I first saw this soap on TikTok and thought that it would be a nice soap to try since I do seem to be washing my hands all the time these days. I was so excited when I received it to give it a try, really just to see the pretty foam flower. I was very pleasantly surprised when I pushed down (twice) to get the foam to come out and not only is the flower cute but the foam is thick and luxurious and makes your hands feel totally moisturized after you wash them. The smell is very pretty and not overpowering at all. My teenager loves it too and is now finally washing her hands more like she is supposed to. I bought them for every bathroom in the house as well as the kitchen. I almost don't want to recommend it so they don't run out of stock!" —Audra Williams
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two styles).
9. A chic set of fidget spinner rings you can play with whenever you feel a bit anxious. That way, you don't bite your nails, crack your knuckles, or chew on the end of all your pens.
10. Some sandwich-cutting tools if you live off of Uncrustables but you're sick of spending a boatload on them and have always wondered what a banana Nutella one would taste like...
Each of the three included shapes has three pieces: a small cutter to cut meat, cheese, and other fillings into the right size, a sandwich cutter, and a sealing tool. The package even comes with cute joke cards to pack in your kiddo's lunch box!
Promising review: "My whole family is a huge fan of the traditional store-bought versions of these sandwiches. But I hate the price! I’m so glad I gave these cutters a try because, in less than an hour and with a single loaf of bread, I made two varieties of sandwiches that would’ve cost me over $10 in a grocery store. These cutters will definitely pay for themselves over time! You do have a significant amount of crust waste with each sandwich, but if you google recipes for bread pudding, you can use the scraps to make yourself a really tasty dessert! This is going to be a game-changer for school lunches, and I can’t wait to experiment with other flavor combos for my kids!" —J. L. McHale
Get a set of three from Amazon for $19.96.
11. A pair of LED light saber chopsticks sure to inspire a lil' food fight. Though I'm talking a fake one, of course, because sushi is too expensive to be throwing anywhere but down your gullet.
Promising review: "Love, love, love these! Perfect for any Star Wars or SciFi fan! I brought these with my lunch to the office and it was a big hit with my coworkers. I'm sure they would also be fun at any hibachi restaurant... I plan on bringing mine on my next visit. I will say that when I received these, I was missing one green chopstick. But I am still giving five stars because the seller corrected the issue right away in a timely manner and I was sent a complete green set." —AmazonGirl
Get them from Amazon for $10.97 (available in 11 colors).
12. An animal-shaped stapler so every time you staple something, you can say "munch, munch, munch!" as if your desk pet is enjoying a lil' treat.
13. A container of museum gel you can use to secure small tchotchkes/candles/frames to whatever surface they're being displayed on if you have a cat who *LOVES* to knock ish over.
Psst — people who sell jewelry like rings and want to balance them on a surface for photos also swear by this!
Promising review: "Excellent if you have inquisitive pets or kids. I use a quarter sized gob under glassware, candles, smaller lamps to keep them from being knocked over. Easy to use. Put a gob on any flat smooth clean surface and press object down on top of it. To remove, use twisting motion to release and lift up. The clear gob can be removed from surfaces by rolling it off like play dough. It can be returned to container for reuse. It does not dry out or lose its adhesive properties. With time, the gob returned to the container will magically 'melt' into the rest of the firm clear gel and appear to have never been used. Substance is like the clear sticky stuff used in mailings to adhere credit card to paper." —Mitzy
Get it from Amazon for $10.69.
14. A daily productivity pad with sections for things you seriously need to do, things that would be nice to do, and things you'll only get done if a miracle somehow occurs.
Promising review: "This is a terrific little pad for that person in your life that is constantly making lists. It'll even help them prioritize their daily tasks. And they'll be able to get that wonderful feeling of checking off something you've been wanting to do." —Roger A. Ross
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in daily and weekly options).
15. A pressed floral bookmark you can use to keep your place in your park read. Have you managed to get past page five in the last three weekends you came out to sunbathe? Perhaps not, but that's nobody's business but yours!
Kaylie Reads is a Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based shop.
Promising review: "I love these so so much! Everything I asked for and more! Even added an extra one which was so sweet. Will definitely be purchasing again😊❤️" —mekenzie snelling
Get it from Kaylie Reads on Etsy for $10 (the bookmarks are made to order so you can specify your preferred colors/themes at checkout).
16. A big ol' bag of powdered cheddar cheese because the dinky packets your macaroni comes with are just not even close to enough.
Promising review: "OMG where has this been my whole adult life with kids?! As a child growing up in the '90s, I lived on Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese. Fast-forward and now I have two little kids of my own. I always stayed away from most boxed mac and cheese because of all of the bad ingredients, though my kids have had Kraft on the rare occasion. I stumbled across this stuff that was recommended by BuzzFeed so I got it. It came this morning and the kids were devouring it by dinner. I boiled 8 ounces of organic whole-wheat elbow noodles, drained and then added 2 tablespoons of butter, 2ish tablespoons of milk (or yogurt), and then 3 tablespoons of the cheese mix. I did add a pinch of salt to kick up the flavor a bit. The package has a zip lock and the bag I got is good until October, so seven months? I bet we will go through the whole bag by then!" —ACP
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
17. A set of silicone stove-counter gap covers so you won't attract unwanted critters after flinging pasta into the half-inch crevice for the third time this week. We all know nobody is actually cleaning it out (don't try to lie to us), so go ahead and do yourself a favor.
The covers just slip right into the gap — there's no adhesive involved — so you can easily remove and clean them whenever necessary.
Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
18. An initial pendant on a box chain if you want to keep your boo close at heart. Or, actually, your dog — I'd probably get one for my dog.
Promising review: "Legit the cutest, most affordable, and trendiest necklace I own. I am very impressed with the quality for the price. I haven’t had it very long, but I can see this lasting for me for a long time as long as I take care of it." —KaLea Keefer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (all letters of the alphabet are available).
19. A champagne stopper for those days when you're hanging out solo but would like a glass or two of bubbly. This way, you never have to waste a bottle or wait until you have company!
You can even mark the date you opened it on the top of the stopper!
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer has firsthand experience saving her bubbly. In her own words:
"I love bubbles — champs, cava, prosecco, sparkling rosé — they just know how to bring the party! But no one likes when sparkling wine goes flat, or you feel like you can't just have one or two glasses without ruining the whole bottle. So I went on Amazon and found the best champagne stopper I could find and immediately hit 'add to cart.' What a great purchase! This little bb is so easy to use — just pop it on top of the bottle, push the metal sides in so it clamps on, then push the top button several times to vacuum seal and preserve the bubs. Then when you next want a glass, spritz, or mimosa, you'll hear that same *POP* you heard when first taking out the cork — and the effervescence you so crave will be fully intact. Plus, you can confidently store your leftover bottle on its side in your fridge; I've had zero leakage problems with this thus far!"
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
20. A pair of scrunchie-style Apple Watch bands that won't pinch your wrist or leave you with an angry red circle of skin. If you're already used to wearing hair ties, there's really no difference!
Promising review: "These are super comfortable and more breathable than most other bands! I picked this up because a coworker recommended I get them for my new Apple Watch to help with the heat rash and tightness on my wrist and oh my goddddds. This is a blessing." —Victoria Gullick
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes S and L and 21 color combinations).
21. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets you can affix to your fridge and then quickly crosscheck when you're in the middle of making chicken fingers. That way, you don't have to wash all the eggs and breadcrumbs off your hands and fumble with your phone to pull up Google.
Promising review: "So glad that I came across these. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy having them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" —Small~Town~Girl
Get them from Amazon for $11.29+ (also available in white).
22. A set of TikTok-famous storage scrunchies so you can keep your cash money, lip balm, keys, and other small accessories nice and accessible while you're at the gym, running a quick errand, or otherwise avoiding having to carry a purse.
See them in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "LIFE-CHANGER. I don't have to bring my whole purse with me anymore. This fits so much more than expected and the colors are perfect. The blue especially is beautiful. Good quality." —Tia
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two color combinations).
23. A pair of straight-up *genius* AirPod earrings — your choice of zip-tie style posts or chained pearl posts — if you're the type who gets nervous about losing an earbud when you're out and about. (It's me — I'm that type. Have I ever lost an AirPod to the subway tracks? No. Do I still live in fear of it happening? Yes.)
Both earrings come from small businesses. The first is courtesy of Shanghai-based Apex Studio SH while the latter is from Ming Liu HK.
Promising review (for the zip-tie style): "I love them! So unique. The delivery is so fast. Will definitely come back soon!" —Michi
Get them both from Etsy; the first from Apex Studio SH for $15.99 (originally $19.99; available in three finishes) and the second from Ming Liu HK for $10.90.
24. A silicone crab utensil holder that'll triumphantly hold your spoon over its head so it doesn't melt on the side of your stove while you're cooking.
Promising review: "Probably the coolest holder I have ever seen. Bought it for my wife and she loves it and thinks it's cute. I laugh when I look at it, just cool as all! Hangs on all of our pots and pans, stays cool. Easy to clean and looks awesome. Great addition to any kitchen. Works great, does exactly what it is intended to do!" —Logan E.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
25. An 8-in-1 multitool with everything from a ballpoint pen to a flathead screwdriver so you can jot down a note when you get a phone call and fix the loose knob on the drawer you pulled the tool from when your call came in.
What else can it do, you ask? Well, on top of the ballpoint pen and flathead screwdriver it's also got an LED light, a stylus top, standard and metric rulers, a bubble leveler, a bottle opener, and a Phillips screwdriver.
Promising review: "Very much enjoying these pens/multi tools! They are ideal for truly keeping on your person for everyday life to complete common chores/tasks. Kinda a toolbox in your pocket or purse. I'm a full-time homemaker with children. Examples I've faced as of yet... changing batteries in a toy set to needing that light to look under furniture for a Lego. Then there's the leveling process of a new wall hanging which next could require the measurement for the coordinating item beside it. Then of course note taking or mark making you'll have the pen or writing a review on Amazon for an AMAZING product (such as this one)... I have my stylus. These UNIVERSAL items help keep a simple, productive and efficient lifestyle. So I thank you, RAK PRO TOOLS!!!" —MastiffMom.MM84
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99.
26. A beanie with an impressive 108,000 5-star ratings that'll keep your noodle nice and toasty but also on trend.
27. A Magic Castle suncatcher to create delightful lil' rainbows right in your room. Because Zoom meetings with artificial rainbows in the background > Zoom meetings with regular ol' sunlight.
Wish Upon Magic is a Disney-themed shop with handmade pillows, stickers, keychains, and watercolor prints.
Promising review: "This sticker has brightened up my already very sunny window. The rainbows are so cheerful and it’s pretty even on a rainy day." —Katie Shelley
Get it from Wish Upon Magic for $11.99.
28. A set of bedsheet holders that are basically like suspenders for your mattress, because nothing ruins a morning like having the corner of your fitted sheet pop off as you roll over.
Each pack comes with four bands which can stretch from 12 to 18 inches and hold adequate tension.
Promising review: "Say goodbye to rearranging your fitted sheet every morning! My boyfriend sleeps like he’s rolling down a hill, so every morning I would wake up to the scratchy feel of my mattress cover because my soft silk fitted sheet was all over the place. Thanks to these Bed Bands, our sheets stay put no matter what. The only way for your fitted sheet to come off is if you manually remove these first. I wish I would have bought this so much sooner." —Khalysee
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors and four pack sizes).
29. A large cup holder, because whoever designed the built-in ones in your car didn't consider the fact that you exclusively drink from XL water bottles and trenta Starbucks cups.
The insert has a tapered base that goes from 3.2 to 2.6 inches so it fits in most standard cup holders. It's suitable for cups and bottles 32 to 40 ounces.
Promising review: "The console cupholders in the Chevy Colorado are ridiculously small. Good for a 12-oz paper cup and that's it. There is a thick rubbery liner within the cupholder area, and this Smart Kup slides in and grips nicely. Also, it goes in deep enough to be stable. With a full 40-oz insulated Hydro Flask in it, the holder doesn't move or tip over or pop out of the cup holder hole during sharp turns. The cup also keeps the Hydro Flask from falling out of the cup, because it sits deep enough." —Bartimus
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in two colors).
30. A charging cable tag so there's ~zero~ doubt as to whose lightening cable is whose. Last time you sister "accidentally" swapped yours out you got saddled with an old frayed one and that's not about to happen again.
Delightful Luna is an Etsy shop based in North Carolina. They sell cool 3D-printed accessories, including magnets, keychains, and pen caps.
Promising review: "They are perfect! Now my bf won’t steal my charger anymore. They clip so well!" —Etsy Customer
Get it from Delightful Luna on Etsy for $5.50 (available in two charger types and 10 colors).
31. A jewelry-cleaning brush with long, soft bristles that help the cleaning solution get in every nook and cranny of your setting. The formula works great on diamonds and precious stones, so you won't have to make monthly trips to your jeweler anymore.
The Amazon listing also suggests buying a polishing cloth to apply an anti-tarnish barrier on your silver, protecting it from any future buildup!
Promising review: "I worked several years in a fine jewelry store that sold this product. We used the Dazzle Stik from time to time to add a quick shine to merchandise that was just tried on and on days our jeweler was not there to professionally clean items. I was always impressed with the instant shine the diamond stick provided. The brush tip is very helpful for getting under the stones and in the setting where gunk builds up reducing that brilliant shine. I recently got engaged and immediately purchased a Diamond Dazzle Stik of my own. It's the perfect way to quickly give my ring some shine before leaving the house. You simply brush, rinse, dry and go. I don't feel this product replaces the need to professionally clean your jewelry every now and then, but it does help with the maintenance of that new shiny sparkle." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.

32. A pastel paint-by-number kit if you're the type of adult who doesn't have hobbies (I mean, other than watching TV...), but you *aspire* to have them.
Each set comes with a detailed numbered outline, three brushes, and a set of numbered acrylic paints with extra to spare.
Promising review: "I loved this painting! I was worried that it wouldn’t look right but it turned out perfect! Way more than enough paint! Some lighter colors you had to go over twice." —Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
33. A genius medication tracker you can stick to the side of any prescription you regularly forget to take. Now there'll be noooo question as to whether that headache you have is from existing solely on iced coffee or the fact that you've gone three days without your Prozac.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I’ve tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." —Niki
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99.
34. An admittedly questionable but inarguably hilarious toothpaste cap for anyone whose top four favorite movies include Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek The Third, and Shrek Forever After.
CasualChicken is a small business based in Irvine, California that sells an array of unique 3D printed items.
Promising review: "My order came well-packaged and on time. Gifted it to my friend and she thinks it is hilarious." —Grace
Get it from CasualChicken on Etsy for $6.99.
35. A Sriracha hot sauce keychain so you can keep your #1 condiment close at hand because you'll be damned if you have to pay 75 cents for an extra sauce when it's SO obvious that your meal *should* have come with two to start.
Promising review: "I ordered these babies and got them so quickly. I personally love spicy and I always had an issue with getting the right amount with the individual Sriracha packets. I would go through three or more and still not get enough out. These solved my problem! I just hook them on my purse and bam 💥 couldn't have asked for a better idea. So in love with these. My friends are thanking me :) if you're thinking about buying these do it! You won't regret it. I have two and gave my roommate one. Best idea ever!!" —Jeanette
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
36. A Scotch tape dispenser in the shape of a record player so you can pretend you're scratching out some tunes instead of just taping some boring documents together.
Promising review: "I’m an adult, I swear. But I am way too excited about this. It’s weighted enough that it’s easy to use it with one hand. One thing I really like about it is the hinged case. I have pets and this helps keep the hair out of my tape. It’s also really compact which I like a lot." —SirNick
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
37. And a mini recreation of Michelangelo's David which you can use as a statement piece, bookend, vase, or even a makeup brush holder because your looks are absolutely a work of art.
Promising review: "Obsessed! I received this today and I’m in love with it. I was going to use it for my makeup brushes but it’s deeper than I thought so I went out and bought some lovely miniature roses to put in it. It adds the perfect touch of class to my room. It doesn’t come with the blush painted on the cheeks (like the product photo) which I prefer. Will be buying more to use as bookends." —Addie
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
