1. A fog-free LED mirror you can pop right on your shower wall so you can do your ~entire~ routine all at once instead of having to shave over the sink before or after your rinse off.
Promising review: "This deluxe shaving mirror saves me about 15 minutes in the morning. If you're anything like me, 15 minutes in the morning is like an hour in daytime hours. I really like not having to keep up with and apply the anti-fog sprays to the mirror, which only temporarily work (so I hear). Filling the back with water that goes in the back of the mirror only takes about 10 seconds and discarding the water after shaving takes about five seconds. Shaving in the shower with all the steam makes your shaving experience much closer and comfortable, I find. Like I said, when I wake up in the morning, I stumble to the shower FIRST. No more going to the sink, washing my face, shaving, AND THEN stumbling to the shower. Excellent way to start the day... and with much less stumbling, my chances are much greater in making it to work... LOL" —Nicholas

2. An automatic pet feeder that'll ensure your fur baby gets fed at 8 AM right on the dot so you don't get followed around the house while you're trying to get ready.
Promising review: "This cat feeder is amazing! We bought it for when we go on vacation in September but wanted to try it out before we leave. It was very easy to setup, and we have two feeding times a day. It has operated with batteries just fine. It saved our mornings from our two cats crying outside our door for food early in the morning! Have not had any issues with it for over a month. I would highly recommend this product for your vacation or your sanity!" —Amanda Roper
Get it from Amazon for $69.99.
3. An automatic pan stirrer because you can only be in so many places at once and rn, doing your makeup is a lil' more important than scrambling your eggs.
The arm spins in the pan, disrupting whatever's in it and effectively stirring for you. The future is now!
Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." —Jake the ChefturnedDaddy
Get it from UncommonGoods for $25.
4. 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. Having to fluff up the duvet and rearrange the pillows is enough work already, ya know?
Each pack comes with four bands which can stretch from 12 to 18 inches and hold adequate tension.
Promising review: "Say goodbye to re-arranging 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, regular and XL sizes, and four pack sizes).
5. A set of six fridge organizers so you'll know exactly where you put your creamer instead of having to take every. single. item. out and watch as your coffee loses steam.
What's included: Five drawers and a dedicated 14-slot egg holder.
Promising review: "I love these things so much. I just got my first apartment with my boyfriend and it looked so messy in our little fridge and now it looks really appealing and everything is easy to get to. The quality of them is so good, I’m honestly impressed. They’re very sturdy and the egg holder is so cute and holds 14 eggs!" —Faith Sperry
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $19.54 (also available in a pack of 12).
6. An orange peeler if you HATE getting the peel under your fingernails almost as much as you DETEST spending precious minutes separating the pith from the fruit.
Each order comes with five long orange peelers, five short ones with a hole for your finger, and five short ones with a hole for two fingers, depending on which you prefer. They also work on lemons, grapefruits, and limes!
Promising review: "Love oranges but hate getting the peel under your fingernails when you try to get the peel started? You will love these peelers! They are wonderful for starting the peel and slices the skin of an orange, making it extremely easy to peel your oranges. I like the long peeler, while my seven year-old daughter likes the one with the single hole." —frankfromNJ
Get a set of 15 from Amazon for $6.99.
7. A finishing stick that looks like a lil' mascara wand, but it's actually for the hairs on your head! If flyaways are something that bug you, give your hairline a good swipe and watch them be tamed without a fight.
Or if you have textured hair, a 24-hour edge tamer (but reminder: No one has to lay their edges — it's a personal choice!).
Promising review: "Seriously, how on earth does this work?? I have tried everything to get my baby hairs that never really grew back from chemo to lay down and nothing worked. This product works. I mean, it WORKS. So, in the picture I uploaded, the hair that is sticking up on the left side of my head (right side on the picture) is what I am talking about. You can see that there's a good bit of it and that it basically just stood almost straight out. Not anymore. Not with this finishing stick. And it doesn't make your hair crunchy or shiny, either. Y'all, I'm serious! This product is simply amazing." —Liesl McQuillan
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
8. A set of waterproof eyeliner stamps for those who LOVE the look of winged liner, but can't help but shake like a leaf when attempting to paint them on.
This set comes with two stamps — one for your right eye and one for your left. Once you apply the wing, flip the pen over to find a fine tip applicator so you can finish off your look.
Promising review: "This thing is amaaaazing! I pretty much gave up on winged eyeliner because I just couldn’t get it right. Didn’t even know stamps existed and randomly came across this and it had good reviews so I gave it a chance. Got it in the mail and tried it right away and was sooo excited that I used the left stamp for both sides and it looked a little crooked. Then I remembered there’s a right and a left. Tried it again and it turned out beautifully. There’s just something about winged eyeliner that’s so fly. Ohhh and another thing. It’s pretty darn sturdy! I took a nap and caught myself rubbing my eye a little and thought 'dang I messed up my eyeliner' and when I got up and checked it was still in tact! It def lasts all day." —Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in three sizes and a combo pack).
9. An absorbent microfiber towel that wicks water so well, your hair will dry in 50% less time than usual! If you've got thick/long/curly hair, you know what a time suck it can be every morning.
Promising review: "I’m surprised by how well this actually works! I truly have coarse, un-tame-able hair that I must half air-dry and then blow-dry — it’s a science. But this towel really helps the texture of my hair and helps it dry more quickly. Now I can put the towel on when I get out of the shower, then be blow-drying in 15 minutes. Cuts down 'handling' time when it comes to drying!" —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).

10. A pair of elasticized shoelaces so when you're running out the door at 7:59 am and need to be at work at 8:00 am sharp, you don't have to waste any time with bunny ears or looping, swooping, and pulling.
The shoelaces can be used on both adult and kid shoes! Reviewers also say these are great for making it easy to remove shoes while going through airport security.
Promising review: "At first I was skeptical that these laces wouldn't hold my shoes on tightly enough, but I decided to give them a try in my Converse Chucks. They're fantastic! I like the way the "hidden" fasteners sit inside the shoes below the eyelets, but on top of the tongue, and I can't feel the fastener at all with my foot in the shoe. I've had them in for around eight months, and they're still just as elastic as ever. They haven't stretched at all and show no signs of wearing out. I loved them so much that I bought five more sets to put in all of my shoes! No more triple knotting my shoes so they don't become untied. I tie knots pretty slowly so these laces have honestly saved me tons of time. I couldn't be happier with them." —lucidity
Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 35 colors).
11. A leave-in conditioning cream certain to keep your hair smooth and frizz free for up to three days thanks to a formula rich in argan oil. That way, you don't have to worry about washing, drying, and styling every day of the week.
Psst! You can use this on DRY hair *and* would you just look at that price!
Promising review: "I'm very impressed with this product! I have badly damaged hair like a bird's nest due to frequent hair coloring, Japanese perm, and hot tools for styling. I was at first reluctant to buy this since it was so cheap and I normally use expensive salon brands. Since I've been using so many products and it didn't take away the tangle or frizz very well, I decided to purchase this product based on its high reviews. I am so glad I did! It got rid of my tangles and made my hair very soft and smooth. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it won't work as well. In this case it worked spectacularly! I am also impressed with the smell. I am very allergic to perfume and this has a very light, fruity smell that didn't cause me to sneeze." —honeydew
Get it from Amazon for $2.97 (also available in packs of two or three and a three-piece set).
12. Or a handy bottle of Amika dry shampoo ready to absorb oil and extend the life of your hairdo without the need for water. If you've been trying really hard to "train" your hair between washes (hiiiii, it's me), this will come in clutch.
Promising review: "I saw Amika on a list of best dry shampoos for dark, curly hair, and I'm so impressed. It's a bit spendy, but a little bit goes a long way. The scent is very light and sometimes hardly noticeable. It goes on completely sheer with no white cast and actually absorbs the oils so my hair is soft and shiny but not greasy looking. My curls stay intact even with the rubbing in of the spray, so styling isn't limited to a ponytail anymore!" —Kelly Sobczak
Get it from Amazon for $10.
13. A Daily Harvest subscription to make eating breakfast easy with fruit- and veggie-based smoothies, chia bowls, and lattes!! Basically, if you have five minutes and the ability to work a microwave and blender, you're in business, baby.
When you sign up, you'll choose if you want your meals delivered weekly or monthly and 9, 12, or 24 at once. You'll always have more than 100 options to choose from (including lunch and dinner items) and you can swap your selections, skip a week, or cancel your subscription at any time — there are no hoops to jump through.
Get it from Daily Harvest for $5.99+/per item.
14. A HyperChiller beverage cooler that allows you to turn hot coffee into iced coffee in 60 seconds flat. Just make a promise with yourself — that you'll fill the container with water and keep it in your freezer so it's always ready when you need it.
The dishwasher-safe container can also be used to cool chill tea, juice, wine, or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either.
Promising review: "I am an avid (i.e. daily) iced coffee drinker, but I have been extremely hesitant to make my own iced coffee at home because I didn’t want the bitter flavor from two-day old coffee or the watered-down nature of just adding ice to coffee. Thanks to the HyperChiller, I have now found a solution!!! The HyperChiller worked like a CHARM today!!! I was able to create my own iced coffee directly from my coffee maker in the comfort of my own home. I guarantee this item will be used frequently! Great job!" —Chelsea
Get it from Amazon $24.84+ (available in three colors).
15. A set of clip-in hair extensions to add instant volume to any do. No more burning yourself on a curling iron or leaving the house only to question if you turned off said curling iron 30 minutes later!
Promising review: "This was the best $9 I've spent in a long time! The color is a perfect match to my hair. The hair is very long — I cut at least 12 inches off. It stays in place very well. This is a fun addition to my going out look." —SBonert
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six lengths and 53 colors).

16. Similarly, INH Hair's Sammy messy bun — the answer to a perfectly tousled look — no finessing necessary! Pick up a pair and you can even master space buns like the model below.
INH Hair is a woman-owned small biz based in Los Angeles. They aim to get you the best quality and trendiest styles and boost your confidence. Their buns are made of vegan synthetic fiber from Japan. Make sure to read their tips on styling and care!
Promising review (for the messy bun): "My bun game has gone to a new level! Very easy to apply and the feel is very realistic, it doesn’t feel like a synthetic hair! The color match was to a tee. I have quite fine hair so my usual buns look very odd (like a round pot handle vibe) but with the Sammy, I feel so confident and put together. The application was super easy and unlike some of the ponies that make you feel weighted, there was no issues with feeling tightened or restricted on my scalp." —Jia
Get them from INH Hair: the messy bun for $45 and the space buns for $54 (both available in a variety of colors).
17. A hanging purse organizer if your handbags are strewn allll over your closet floor and finding the one you want involves a lot of throwing stuff around/groaning in frustration/wanting to cry over the fact that you'll now have to put back all of said thrown stuff.
Promising review: "I was quite skeptical when I ordered this purse organizer but decided for the price, I'd go ahead and take the chance. Well! This is a winner. There's no assembly. It hooks over the clothes rod, right alongside the clothes hangers. I held my breath as I began to push through a couple of my larger purses. The larger ones protrude a bit on each end but the sling fits like a glove around the purse and prevents sliding. The smaller purses fit quite nicely. I like that my more costly bags will not be a dust catchall now and will also be protected from scratching. All in all, I'm impressed with this product and happy with this purchase. It is a space saver. I recommend it. I hope it holds up well. I think it will." —Beje
Get it from Amazon for $15.78+ (available in three colors).
18. A Revlon's One-Step Hair Dryer that'll make styling your own hair a cinch. Now, I know that there's another TikTok-viral tool that's getting all the love rn, but this baby is less than $40!!
I hate blow-drying my hair SO much, I will go outside — no matter the temperature — with soaking wet hair instead. That was until this gadget came into my life. Now, all I need is five minutes (I *do* have a pretty short hair) and I leave with a perfect blowout!
PS: Reviewer's say this brush/dryer combo works well on all hair types including textured 4c curls and coils.
Promising review: "I have NEVER been able to give myself a nice blowout until I got this! I would dry, then straighten, then use a curling iron. On my first try with this tool, I was able to get gorgeous, soft hair in about 20 minutes. Amazing!" —Rachel S.
Get it from Amazon for $34.88+ (available in two styles).
19. A pair of no-drip cleansing cuffs so every time you wash your face, you don't unintentionally wash your T-shirt, too, and require *another* change of clothes.
LA Beautyologist is a Black- and woman-owned small business from esthetician Nai Roberts-Smith. She also owns her own studio — The Golden Rx Skin Studio — in LA, where she offers skincare and body treatments.
Get a pair from LA Beautyologist for $23 (currently available in five colors).
20. A French press tumbler for the caffeine aficionado who's always running behind. With this insulated mug, you can brew your coffee or tea right from the car, office, or even Target parking lot.
The portable coffee maker is super simple to use. Just add ground coffee and hot water to the outer tumbler, wait three minutes, and then insert the inner press and push down like you would a normal French press. A built-in micro filter traps your grounds at the bottom of the cup so you won't suck up any bitter bits.
Promising review: "I was given this mug as a gift and I use it daily. It's the best thing since sliced bread. It's easy to use, cleans up in a second, is well insulated, and makes a great cup of coffee (actually two cups). I recently returned from an extended stay in Guatemala. My favorite things I had while there were my hiking boots and this press. Every morning fresh brewed Guatemalan coffee. Buy this for yourself, and as gifts. Yours friends will love you forever no matter what you do to them in the future :)" —U Know Who
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors).
21. A drawstring makeup organizer that opens to reveal every cosmetic you own so you don't have to spend countless minutes emptying out every item just to *not* find your concealer. (Turns out it was in your purse all along 🤷♀️)
Promising review: "I was tired of fumbling around in my cosmetics case and saw this. I was skeptical, but...WOW! On my recent two-week trip to Europe, with constant laying out and packing up, this item was wonderful. I could find what I wanted quickly, right away. Packing up was just a matter of pulling the drawstring. At first I wasn’t sure about changing to this bag, but now I could not do without it." —Mojosharkey
Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in four sizes and 26 colors/patterns).
22. A bottle-emptying kit so you can use every. last. drop. of your shampoo/dish soap/Mike's Hot Honey without having to repeatedly smack it against your hand like a Heinz bottle. (Let's add that to the list of things that shouldn't be embarrassing but is objectively embarrassing, huh?)
The kit comes with small, medium, large, and extra-large attachments so you should be able to use it with any bottle in your house.
Promising review: "I will never fight with a pump bottle again. As soon as it gets difficult to pump anything out of any bottle, I will waste no time in 'flipping it.' I'm so glad someone created this. Upside-down bottles are such a small annoyance in life, but this simple solution really means a lot. 100% worth the price." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in packs of two and six).
23. A bottle of Kenra's Platinum Blow-Dry Spray which allows you to cut your drying time in HALF and acts as a thermal protectant and frizz tamer all the while. It's now racked up over 12,000 5-star reviews as well as a following on TikTok, sooo safe to say it's universally loved.
Promising review: "I LOVE the smell of this! Bought it due to frizzing from coloring my hair, but really didn't believe that it shortened drying time. I mean, how can something putting moisture on you hair shorten the drying time, right? I was shocked. I don't know if it cut it down by 50%, but I did notice blow-drying my hair took quit a bit less time. I am sold on this stuff. Makes my hair feel like silk, but not greasy (I was worried about it making my hair greasy) and it takes only a few sprays to get the results. I hold it about 15 inches from my head and spray the top, both sides, and the back once, then rub it in with my hands. Perfect!" —Janice C. Henderson
Get it from Amazon for $24.49+ (available in two sizes and packs of one or two).
24. A rapid egg cooker that's simple, quick, and consistent when it comes to making soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs. Let's be real, if I had to go through the trouble of making them the old-fashioned way, I'd probably just pull out a Toaster Strudel instead.
The 1-pound appliance has room for six eggs and an auto-shutoff function which prevents overcooking.
Promising review: "I love hard-boiled eggs for protein, especially when I’m on the go as a student/worker, but it’s hard to wait for the water to boil then put In the eggs and get ready all at the same time. This cooker is amazing!! Saves me time, it’s quick and I don’t have to watch it while it cooks — I can go get ready and then I hear a loud buzzer notifying me when the eggs are done! (The buzzer is really loud; sounds like a basketball game buzzer.) I was surprised how fast the eggs cooked." —OnAJourney
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors).

25. A six-piece plastic drawer organizer set to lend your junk drawer a little bit of order at least. Use the clear containers separately, stacked, or however you see fit and they'll make it a whole lot easier to find your stuff.
What's included: Two small, two medium, and two large clear containers.
Promising review: "I love all of the organizers! I bought the organizers for all of my bathroom drawers to store various items that normally are left out on the counter, which make the whole bathroom look cluttered. I love the way the plastic containers stack upon each other! You can also configure the boxes to fit in your drawers. The clear plastic is great for seeing what is in each container. It is convenient to take one container out one out at a time if you need to." —A H
Get them from Amazon for $14.99.
26. A pack of shadow patched — a makeup bag essential for anyone whose day can easily be ruined by eyeshadow fallout. Forget time-consuming smudges and smears and perfect your one-and-done application with these smart bbs.
Promising review: "I don’t know how I've done my eye makeup without these my whole life! They help so much with eyeshadow fallout it’s wild! There are two stickers on them, but I only do the small top ones since I like to do my foundation before eyeshadow! They’re very sticky and sometimes take off some of my foundation but I’ve found if you first tape it on your hand then onto your face it helps!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (comes with 100 pieces).
27. Or a 6-in-1 eyeshadow stencil if you have ZERO patience when it comes to cutting the perfect crease. Various attachments allow for doe-eyed, almond, and wing effects no matter your eye shape.
Promising review: "YES IT WORKS. This set allows you to slip on and off the shape you prefer. They're soft to touch. Just wash to clean. No sticky tape needed. At first, after the application I really didn't see anything special. I continued to blend my makeup and took a selfie before applying mascara. WOW! The look was amazing. Like I had a professional application of eye makeup. I recommend this product if you struggle with eye makeup application." —Butterfly 🦋
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
28. A necklace layering clasp that will eliminate your need for 20 extra minutes every morning just to sort out your accessories. With the Necklet, you just attach your three necklaces of choice, and then let the magnetic clasp work it's magic. Plus, you don't have to worry about tangles!
Necklet was founded by Ricki Hansen, a digital marketer based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The company is now run by Hansen and her sister Stacie, a fashion blogger and graphic designer, and is part of Amazon's Launchpad program.
Promising review: "I’ve tried the off-brand cheap ones and I can honestly say this is so worth the price. I wear multiple necklaces all the time, some very heavy necklaces at that and the cheap ones were causing the magnets to separate and fall off my neck. This one is by far the best! The design is smart and foolproof. The magnet is VERY strong, much stronger than the cheap replicas. There’s even a little click mechanism that secures the magnet in place. I’m sold and definitely happy I splurged for this over the cheap ones.... beyond worth the price." —Cecelia
Get it from Amazon for $42 (available in three finishes).
29. A set of "day of the week" closet organizers so you can wake up knowing exactly what you're wearing and save yourself from trying on every single top you own. (Spoiler: you'll hate every one and end up landing on the first you tried on anyways.)
Each set includes five hangers for Monday through Friday.
White Loft is an Austin-based, woman-owned small business that specializes in growth charts, gifts, and home organization.
Promising review: "These are great! They’ll absolutely make mornings easier with clothes pre-selected for the week. My kindergartner will easily be able to get himself dressed for school. I plan to buy these for my other kids as well so my husband can dress our kids in clothes that actually work together (ha!). Great quality and great idea!" —Stephanie
Get a set of five from White Loft on Amazon for $24.95, on Etsy for $34.99, or direct from their website for $34.99.
30. An affordable mascara that both lengthens lashes *and* lifts them so you can toss your time-consuming curler and falsies in the trash.
Promising review: "I never write reviews for things but this mascara was just so great I felt like I had to! I love lashes and my friends are used to me wearing thick coats of mascara at all times. Despite this, I got complimented on my lashes basically every time I wore this mascara this week. Multiple people even asked if I had extensions! This mascara isn't clumpy at all and makes your lashes look super long and defined without sticking them together. I've never had any problems with flaking and although it isn't waterproof, I've definitely used eyedrops, shed a tear, and gotten stuck in rain without them smudging or running down my face. All in all, this is my new holy grail mascara, and I'm thrilled!" —Sophie Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in brown and black).
31. A bottle of Sienna Naturals' Curl Elixir capable of refreshing roots with just a few spritzes! Whether you're wearing your hair in a protective style or are looking to add a little definition to your curl pattern, the brand's co-owners — Issa Rae and Hannah Diop — got you.
With aloe vera, baobab, and green pea proteins, as well as grape-seed oil, the spray delivers moisture to both high- and low-porosity stands.
Promising review: "I’m used to wearing heavier hair creams and leave-in conditioners to get my desired look. So, admittedly, I was skeptical when I went to use this relatively lightweight product. The outcome is all of the desired benefits (curl pattern, shine, reduced frizz, softness) without any of the undesired aspects, such as residue, waxy or crunchy texture, and contains no fragrances or other toxic products. I had wash-and-go hair on wash day AND it looks terrific upon waking up this morning. I’m really pleased." —Malia M.
32. And a lightweight closet system that can hold up to 16 T-shirts at once so you don't have to dig through your entire bureau to locate your favorite white tee.
The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business from Kelso, Washington. Check out this helpful video that shows you how to load and unload the Roll Keeper!
Promising review: "Our family is growing, and I realized there's a lot of space in a closet that isn't being used. That's how I came across these, and now I have them in all the closets. They make getting clothes so easy, and now we have more space for the growing family! XOXO!" —Megan
Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $16.99 or from Amazon Handmade for $13.99+ (available in two colors and three lengths).
