    50 Products To Help Make A Few Little Problems *Poof* Disappear In 2023

    Including a simple way to utilize those outlets that are hidden behind your furniture.

    1. A foot file if you're sick of your cracked heels catching on your sheets while you try to fall asleep. Just typing that makes me cringeeeee.

    2. "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles. One layer being regular firm ones, and the other being longer ones that are ten times thinner and mimic floss as they get between your teeth but are gentle on your gums.

    Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

    Promising review: "I've been using Dr. Plotka's toothbrushes for awhile now, and I can't emphasize enough how good these are. I'm 55 years old, so I've used a brand or two in my day. These, hands down, are the best I've ever used. The bristles are very thin so you are actually flossing as you brush. Because the bristles are as thin as they are, I just assumed they'd wear out super fast, but I was wrong, it's surprisingly durable. I was skeptical buying this toothbrush after reading through some of the comments that said that the bristles were sharp and painful on the gums. However, the statement 'naturally eliminates 99.9% of bacteria' hooked me, and I'm glad I took a chance. I've never been one that liked soft bristle toothbrushes because I just never felt like it was enough. The bristles are soft — but with a punch. I'm having to use less effort getting my teeth clean because the thin bristles get right in between my teeth. I definitely highly recommend this product."Lisa Stepanski

    3. A faux book display that actually hides cords and cables in its hollow interior. If your router is ruining the aesthetic of your bookshelf or media stand, this is the solution!

    Four photos which show how from the front, the display looks like a stack of books but from the back it's actually empty

    4. A wall-mounted grocery bag dispenser because try as you might, you always forget your reusable totes and then end up with a cabinet full of post-Target-trip plastic bags.

    5. A pair of "no splash" (LOL) nail clippers with a handy-dandy reservoir so you don't have to go on an I-Spy-style hunt for nail clippings after your at-home mani-pedi.

    6. A set of colorful glass Simply Straws you can have on you at all times so your growing Starbucks obsession doesn't have you using 15 single-use straws a week.

    7. A flat outlet plug that can be placed behind furniture or in other areas where you'd like to eliminate some cord clutter.

    8. A hands-free shopping bag carrier because everyone in your household seems to be on the phone, in the bathroom, or completely MIA when it's time to bring the groceries in. Luckily, this handle basically turns you into Hercules.

    9. An Our Place Always Pan which will quickly become the Swiss Army knife of your kitchen. The gorg pan can replace up to eight pieces of cookware as it braises, sears, steams, strains, sautés, fries, boils, serves, and stores.

    10. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet so you don't grab what you think it a clean glass only to find it coated in curdled milk...

    11. A faux-fur weighted blanket that's filled with Earth-friendly glass beads ready to slash your stress and help ya sleep. Unlike most of its competitors, you can even throw it in the washing machine!

    12. An adjustable cap with a magnetic closure meant to work *with* instead of *against* your ponytails and buns. This way, you don't have to spend 10 minutes adjusting buckles or straps and trying not to pull out any hair in the process.

    13. A Bluapple freshness extender because you *plan* to eat all your farmers market finds in the next few days but who knows what life will throw your way? (I always plan on being good until the "we missed you!" discounts from Seamless, DoorDash, and UberEats hit my inbox...)

    14. A touchless vacuum you can sweep debris right into. No more song and dance with your dustpan trying to brush up every last speck of dust.

    15. A physician-designed earwax remover if you've sworn off cotton swabs ever since watching *that* episode of Girls but you still need something just as satisfying.

    18. An itsy-bitsy toenail brace if you regularly deal with ingrown toenails and are *so* over trips to the doc just to be told you need antibiotics. Apply this lil' guy and not only will it eliminate painful pressure within just a few days, but it'll completely straighten out your nail in a month or less!

    23. A three-pack of microfiber hair turbans so you don't have to waste a second bath sheet on your hair. These are also much easier to move around in if you've been known to not brush your hair for a good 30 minutes post-shower...

    24. An automatic pan stirrer because you can only be in so many places at once and the doorbell just rang and you're *not* about to miss your Amazon delivery.

    25. A steel odor absorber ready to rid your hands of dinner's lingering garlic, onion, or fish scent. Use the gadget as you would any old bar of soap — with or without water, your choice — and you'll be good to go.

    26. A shower beer and wine holder because sometimes, a bath bomb just isn't enough. Real ones know that true R&R involves a chilled glass of sickly sweet Barefoot attached securely to your shower wall — not perched precariously on the lip of your tub.

    27. A pack of four toe separators to help eliminate pain caused by bunions. The silicone aligners are so comfortable, they can even be worn with shoes.

    32. A two-pack of handheld bag sealers you can use to cut and seal a variety of snack bags so your treats don't go stale. (I personally can't not finish an entire bag of Jax Cheese Curls in one sitting, so I don't need this, but power to those who have the strength to save some!)

    33. A folding, portable table with two storage shelves and room for up to four people when fully extended! This thing can be used as a dining room table, desk, side table, decorative console — you name it.

    34. A Burst Oral Care electric toothbrush that doesn't have to be plugged in and holds its charge for up to a month. Better yet, Burst will send brush head refills right to your door every 90 days so you don't even have to worry about reordering. 🦷

    35. A sock organizer because your socks seemingly disappear into thin air when left unattended. Mixing and matching is fun until you have a pair of low-rise sneakers that give away your secret.

    36. A stainless-steel thermometer so if you live in a rental, you can provide your super with receipts when you inform him your oven barely pushes past 200 degrees. I personally did this (after a cake took hourssss to bake) and can say it was well worth the money.

    37. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets that take your go-to water bottle from nasty to gleaming in just minutes. IDK who needs to hear this, but "rinsing" it with water everyday isn't enough. 😔

    38. An easy-to-install Tushy Spa 3.0 bidet which will save you serious $$$ on toilet paper and have you feeling clean as a whistle (whatever that means).

    39. A Material cutting board — made from three parts recycled plastic and one part renewable sugarcane — because last time your mom was over you learned you really shouldn't cut produce directly on your countertop... even if it is literally made of stone.

    40. A pack of Mighty Patch Hydrocolloid Spot Treatments to speedily pull the pus out of your most worrisome whiteheads. (Sorry that was a gross sentence, but it is what it is. 🤷‍♀️) Before you head to bed, just slap the dots right on any zits and they'll work their magic overnight.

    41. An eco-friendly pill remover constructed from upcycled car windshield glass. Using gentle strokes, run the stone across your sweaters, towels, throw blankets, and even upholstered furniture to remove stubborn pills and fuzzies.

    42. A hanger stacker because turns out, those suckers take up a whole lot of space and throwing them in the back of your closet isn't the best solution.

    43. Korean exfoliating mitt to scrub away dead skin leaving you ready for a biggggg night in of applying your fake tanner. And if that's not your thing — no worries — it also helps unclog pores, prevent ingrown hairs, and eliminate bumps caused by keratosis pilaris.

    Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle Gill

    Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available individually or as a pair).

    44. Some soothing Aveeno bath treatment — with fragrance-free colloidal oatmeal — that'll come in particularly clutch if you deal with dry skin or eczema that's further aggravated by winter's harsh temps.

    Promising review: "The colloidal oatmeal bath is amazing. It calms your skin and feels so soft and wonderful. I take mine and dissolve in a cup of warm water before putting it into the bath to avoid the clumping. As others have mentioned, if you pour it in the bath too quickly, it will clump (eventually dissolving). If your skin tends to develop hives or an itchy rash, this is exactly what you need. It's soothing and relieves the itching. The smell is pleasant (it really smells like oatmeal) and feels amazing on the skin. Highly recommend for soaking even if you just want a relaxing bath." —L. Macconnell

    45. Neutrogena makeup removing eraser stick made to clean up mistakes so if you're having one heck of a morning, fixing up your failed cat-eye will at least be easier than ever.

    Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using cotton swabs dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" —Katherine Riordan

    Get it from Amazon for $8.72

    46. A set of Miracle-Gro spikes guaranteed to revive your potted plants with all of the micronutrients they've been missing. They're safe to use with any indoor plant and work for a full two months.

    47. A bottle of Elizavecca's $8 Cer-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment, which delivers results that reviewers claim are just as impressive as another brand that may or may not rhyme with ~Polaflex.~

    Promising review: "Not gonna lie, I was skeptical that this could help me. A few months ago I decided I would bleach my hair. I burnt it to such a crisp that I’ve literally been wearing it up under a cap. That worked when it was winter. But now it’s warm, so I needed a solution. I saw this product highly recommended on other sites and the reviews were good. So F it right? I ordered a tube. Used it twice now and OH. MY. LANTA. For months my hair has felt like crunchy noodles ready to snap at a moments notice. After one treatment (left in about 15 minutes after shampoo before conditioner) my ends feel soft!! After the second it actually moves like it’s not damaged and it is visibly SO much healthier. Like seriously idk how they bottled witchcraft. But I’m going to continue to use this product even when my hair grows out. An absolute magical miracle potion! I seriously prepared myself to explain to the world that it doesn’t work. But instead I have the healthiest hair I’ve had since being an idiot home hairdresser. 10/10 for less then $10." —Beth

    48. 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.

    A reviewer's before and after photos which show a sheet popping off the corner of a mattress and then a sheet attached securely

    49. A pack of cord bundlers so you can organize unruly appliances and electronics. No more tripping over rogue laptop chargers or KitchenAid cords.

    50. An adhesive LED strip that mounts to the back of your TV and helps your eyes adjust in the dark (aka bias lighting). The extra bit of light is pretty, but it also reduces eye strains and headaches so you can even add an extra hour to your Netflix viewing.
