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. A cozy armchair with a liquid-repelling base and stain-resistant, machine-washable upholstery so no mess — be it a splash of wine or a fully dumped bowl of chili — will take it out of commission. And if (AKA when) you feel like switching up your style, you can choose between 30+ interchangeable covers!
Levity is a new sister brand to Ruggable and chances are, if you regularly stain your rug, staining your chair may be an issue, too! I live with two cats and an incredibly clumsy boyfriend so when I picked up the Levity Classic Lounge Chair in off white, I wasn't so sure it'd live up to its claims. Alas, I've had it for a few months now and cat fur, ketchup, and miscellaneous stains have been no match for this baby! And, as a bonus, the slip covers fit in my portable washing machine — another necessity since I live in NYC and don't have easy access to a full-size machine. The chair only took me 20 minutes or so to construct (I used Levity's handy dandy instructional video), and it's super comfy, roomy, and matches my mid-century style sofa with its walnut legs. Needless to say, I am a happy camper and am looking forward to buying a second cover in a different color so I can change it out seasonally!
PS: The brand also make washable dining room chairs and liquid-repelling butterfly leaf tables.
Promising review: "I was hesitant with the price but I finally just bit the bullet and got it since my dogs go all over our furniture. I think they use it more than I do! It was easy to put together alone, and I am so pleased that it's machine washable. No buyers' remorse here." —Lauren L.
Get it from Levity for $659 (available in 30+ colors/prints).
2. A tub of The Pink Stuff which can clean anything you throw at it be that tires, pots and pans, stove tops, showers, your 5-year-old's crayon wall mural.
Promising review: "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
3. 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).
4. A Wet & Forget weekly cleaner you can spritz on your shower walls and tub after you're done cleaning yourself. Leave it on overnight — no scrubbing necessary — and just wash it off the next time you're in the shower!
Promising review: "I really like the fact that this product is true to its description! I highly recommend you do a thorough and very good job of cleaning before you apply this product, or it will not make the product as effective as it should be! I highly recommend this because really, who wants to clean their shower every day? This also keeps away mold and mildew; how cool is that." —Stephanie Parker
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
5. Shower curtain rings with separate hangers for your curtain and liner that will make taking them down and switching them out SO much faster and easier. No marking yourself as "busy" on your office cal so you can fight with your tension rod for 30+ minutes!
Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn’t know you needed, and once you get it you can’t help but wonder how you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for multiple shower curtains. I know you’re like, ‘It’s just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." —Nardsbaby
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in seven finishes).
6. 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.
The nifty gadget comes from small biz Take-n-Slide. They're also great for using on pet meds, vitamins, and anything else you routinely forget to take/give.
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.
7. A pack of Scrubbing Bubbles gel stamps that gradually dissolve with each flush to keep lime scale and toilet rings to a minimum because the less you have to manually scrub your porcelain throne — the better.
Promising review: "What can I say? This smells great and helps deodorize the water closet. It helps sanitize and keeps the bowl clean after every flush...and I can't be the only one who's satisfied when I click, press, and release the little jewel-looking gel tab onto the inside of a sparkling-clean bowl!" —Gino
Get a pack of 12 gel stamps and a dispenser from Amazon for $17.23.
8. An EZPZ mat with a brilliant suction design so — try as they might — your little one can't toss their plate across the room!!! Ofc they can still feed their meal to the dog piece by piece, but that placemat isn't going anywhere and in the battle against your bebe's messes, that's a major win for you.
Promising review: "I love this thing! We take it when we go out to eat, and it makes everything so much easier with our 1-year-old. It stays stuck pretty well on most tables, and so far our little one hasn't tried to peel it up. Portions seems appropriate, and the dividers also help with scooping and grasping those slipperier foods. We'll probably get a second one dedicated to the diaper bag and keep one at home." —Zoe
Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in eight colors).
9. Modular sheet pan dividers so you can make a one-pan meal without overcooking any of the elements. Sick of burning your summer squash while you wait for your Brussels sprouts to finish? Well now you can pull 'em out as soon as they're done without worrying about shuffling multiple hot pans.
Prep'd, the small biz that created these handy dividers, was founded in 2015 by two industrial engineers who believed cooking should be simple, easy, and ultimately fun.
Promising review: "These are great for so many reasons. We're in a mixed gluten household (one person has celiac and is diabetic, but we are not all doing a gluten-free diet). We can portion control for carb counting and separate out gluten-free vs. none on one pan. Plus, cleanup is just throwing in the dishwasher!" —J Fans
Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.99.
10. A laptop cooling pad if your work computer sounds like a jet engine every time you open it up. I know we can't all have 2022 MacBooks but the 2014 model is kinda pushing it...
Promising review: "This brand is excellent...I decided to try this brand based on reviews and absolutely wasn't disappointed. We've now had them for more than two years without fail. We have two two-fan, and and one three-fan running a minimum of 12 hours daily and all we do is use a vacuum every two to three months and they're good to go. Their angle is perfect, cooling is above average, and dependability is nothing I ever expected. I can't think of any other brand I would consider at any price. More than two years, and all three are still running great!" —Rantasia
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors).
11. A curved shower attachment that shoots out water in a narrow, contoured spray so you can really get into your pup's thick coat and effectively wash away the poop they had so much fun rolling around in when you let them outside earlier. 🙃
Promising review: "I wish I purchased this sooner. I have a very hairy double-coated dog, and this gets ALL the shampoo out of his fur. The flow is adjustable, and he will let me spray the top of his head, which he won't let me do with the dog shower attachment at our apartment dog bathing station. The hose is long enough so I can get completely under his belly. I also use this wand to clean the shower walls. I have tried other styles and brands, and this is the best dog shower attachment I have ever purchased. Very easy to install and it looks nice and sleek in the bathroom." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in two styles that offer different GPM).
12. A touchless vacuum you can sweep debris right into. No more song and dance with your dust pan trying to brush up every last speck of dust.
Promising review: "Housework has a lot to teach about physics, math, and philosophy. There is no greater reminder of the Sisyphean fight against entropy than household chores, and Zeno's paradox is exemplified by the little line of dirt left behind by the dustpan, reducing in magnitude by half each time you try to sweep it up, and yet you can never make it go away. The existential crisis I have every time I clean my house has been alleviated by the EyeVac. Just sweep the undesirable atoms (cat hair and litter) into the sensor zone of the vacuum, and like an event horizon, the dirt disappears, sucked into the black hole of the EyeVac. Highly recommended." —Joy
Get it from Amazon for $129 (available in six colors).
13. Some Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads capable of lifting whatever nasty stain your pet left you on your new Persian rug. Whether you're picking up slobber, mud, or an "accident" (let's be real — it was just raining and they didn't want to go outside) your fingers don't have to get anywhere near the mess — just throw on a house show, toss the pad on top of the stain, and give it a good ol' stomp.
Promising review: "It is actually working! I almost cried when I picked up the first pad!! Some genius builder put white carpet in our condo bedrooms. It's now 15 years old so it's definitely not the original white. We knew we were going to get a dog so we didn’t want to replace it right away though. Well, we rescued a dog that was barely potty trained and she did a number on the carpet. Luckily, the smell didn’t linger, but the stain did. We’ve tried numerous products and none of them helped the stain. The stains are now over a year old. We're waiting until after COVID to replace the carpet but I still wanted it to look nice in the meantime. I was skeptical for sure, but holy goodness it’s working!! You can literally see the rectangle where I used (and moved) the first pad!!!! I have a long way to go, but these pads are nothing short of a miracle! I just wish they were bigger because laying them out looks and feels like we’re laying tiles on the floor. Just buy it. You won’t regret it." —Kimmy
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $23.99.
14. A clog-preventing funnel that lets hair go directly down the drain so you and your roommates don't have to take turns wrestling with a drain snake every few weeks.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "DrainFunnel is a gift from God. Seriously. I am a guy with Tarzan/Jason Momoa-type hair. Shower drain clogged all the time until I found DrainFunnel. I've had DrainFunnel for a year with no clogged drain. No plumbing issues. Nada. Highly recommend!" —BrandonL
Get it from Lowe's for $13.49.
15. A Baseboard Buddy with a 4-foot extendable pole that makes cleaning your baseboards, moldings, ceiling fans, and grates nice and easy on your knees, shoulders, and back. If you're someone who forgets to clean those things until big ol' cobwebs are visible, it's probably a good thing to have on hand.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry.
Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations about this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
16. An as-seen-on-Shark-Tank seat gap filler you can pop in your center console to ensure you never drop another french fry, phone, or credit card into that evil little crevice!!!
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this. That's why I gave it 5 stars!" —Tessa Forbes
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.
17. A clever twist-bottom flower vase that easily allows you to drain old water and trim the stems of your bouquet. Now, you have no excuse not to be the very best plant parent you can.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "Most genius vase. The flowers last so much longer, because you can change the water and snip the stems, to keep bacteria from growing and killing your flowers. It’s also beautiful as a vase itself, super modern and chic." —Eliezer Labkowsky
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (get this price by clipping the 10% off coupon; available in two sizes and six colors).
18. A no-spill dog bowl if your dog tries to take a dip in their dish every time you refill it. They are SO dang cute, but man, that gets annoying fast.
19. 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 bread crumbs off your hands and fumble with your phone to pull up Google.
The set comes with two different-size magnets. See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I thought it over a few times, and then I bought these so I could have a quick reference handy for those times I wanted to make something in my air fryer, which is quite a bit. What surprised me is how often I refer to it. I just throw something in my air fryer, glance at the section that lists the item I’m cooking. Press a few buttons on my fryer, and I’m in business. No more having to search on my phone with wet fingers. A frivolous buy that turned out to be worthwhile." —PickyExtra
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available in black).
20. A satin-lined backless CurlCap made for anyone looking to rock their natural hair. A stretchy, scrunchie-like band keeps your locks up and off of your neck but won't pinch.
CurlCap is a Black-owned apparel company founded by Britney Sade that specializes in caps designed for natural hair with an open back and flexible scrunchie design.
Promising review: "Good cap. My head circumference is 24" and the hat fits really good and is comfortable. I like the elastic band and it also gives me shade in this hot Texas heat!" —GwenH
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 11 styles).
21. A magnetic meal planner that sticks right to your fridge so you can easily keep track of the week's menu and any groceries you may need to pick up. Once you've written your list, rip out the perforated page and take it with you.
Jenna Kate is a Utah-based Etsy shop that sells all sorts of organizational accessories (many magnetic) from calendars and chore charts to daily planners and pen holders.
Promising review: "The perforated list separator is very nicely done, super easy to tear. Quality of paper, cardboard backing, and magnets is great. Love the free shipping, plus this item shipped SO quickly! Very happy with this purchase." —Stacy S.
Get it from Jenna Kate on Etsy for $12.59 (originally $13.99).
22. A simply genius beard bib you can throw on and suction cup to your bathroom mirror when it's time for a trim because no matter how good of a clean you give your vanity after, you WILL find sharp lil' hairs on your bar soap, in your toothbrush, and all up in the drain, too.
Promising review: "Finally bought this for my husband and I’m not sure why I waited so long. He would always shave over a towel, ball the towel up to 'clean it up when he got home from work,' forget to tell me, and then I’d see it on the bathroom floor or counter, pick it up to throw it in the washer (unaware of what surprise was inside), and beard hair would go EVERYWHERE. My husband can fully shave and then he basically has a full beard again three days later, so this happened more times than I’d like to admit. PEOPLE, DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BUY THIS NOW!" —Ashley Flaga
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in five colors).
23. 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.
24. A pack of slow cooker liners if you love yourself a one-pot meal but don't love having to scrape away baked-on food when you're finished.
PS: They also come in handy with dishes going into a water bath (think: cheesecakes, custards, and puddings).
My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Elizabeth Lilly is a fan saying:
"I have a thing for slow cookers because they’re *incredibly* helpful — but cleaning that huge stoneware is a total nightmare and, honestly, keeps me from using it as often as I should. Years ago I picked up a box of Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners and have been using them since. They make cleanup SO EASY that I feel a little guilty about it. And I don’t have a dishwasher, so that’s a pretty big deal.
I recently made some delicious slow-cooker bread using the liner instead of parchment paper, with no effect on the taste of the bread! I’ve also used it for chili, soup, barbecue pork, and other substantially messier recipes with no problem. Thanks to these babies, I see many more slow-cooker meals in my future."
Promising review: "These are a must-have for Crock Pot users! They are amazing and work so well. I use them every time I cook and they make clean up a breeze. No more scraping burnt food from the bottom! You simply lift it out and throw it away and then easily wash the Crock Pot. I always keeps these on hand." —Kristie
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $3.77.
25. A set of Miracle-Gro spikes which will 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.
Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violet plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth
Get them from Amazon for $2.79+ (available in packs of 24 and 48).
26. A nail file board for pups TERRIFIED of nail clippers and Dremels. With a few treats and words of encouragement, you can persuade them to file their own nails and avoid extra trips to the groomer!
Scratchpad for Dogs is a small biz based in Atlanta. Jen Fleming, the store's owner, came up with the idea after adopting a shelter dog named Ripley who absolutely hated having his nails trimmed.
Promising review: "Love this scratch pad! We adopted our dog almost a year ago and he's been terrified of clippers and grinders since day one. We've never been able to maintain his nails due to his super reactive anxiety around nail care. That's all changed since we got the Scratchpad a few weeks ago! He took to it right away and his nails have shown significant improvement in just a few sessions!" —Kira Armajani
Get it from Scratchpad for Dogs on Etsy for $44.95+ (available in four styles and three grit levels).
27. A pack of Spot My UV's SPF-detecting stickers which give you a heads up when it's time to reapply sunscreen if that's something you're ~famously~ bad at doing.
The waterproof patches last 12 hours or through six applications of sunscreen — whichever comes first. When purple, it's time to reapply and when clear, you're good to go!
Promising review: "As a person some call a day walker, I am in LOVE with the concept of these — I cannot tell you how many times I asked myself the question 'should I put on more sunscreen?' when it's too late... and I'm as red as a lobster. When I read the description, I just had to buy them. Big fan of the packaging and portability, really ingenious idea. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, yearly there are 5.4+ million cases of skin cancer are treated in more than 3.3 million people... and it's time to start being better. They just arrived in the mail and my wife and I immediately put one on and lathered up with sunscreen and are sitting in the front yard — putting them to the test! Here is to a happier, healthier, future ahead!" —CopperStad
Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in packs of 16, 32, and 48).
28. 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 15,000 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 quite 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 $14.99+ (available in three sizes and packs of one or two).
29. Or — if it's already decided that you're definitely not washing your hair today — a leave-in conditioning cream certain to keep your locks 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 shampooing, conditioning, brushing, drying, and styling all before you can step out the door.
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.
30. An easy-to-install faucet extender if your little one makes an absolute mess of the bathroom counter because they simply can't reach the sink. Ofc, the real win here isn't preventing puddles, it's giving them the independence to wash up on their own!
Promising review: "These are amazing. I bought a couple step stools for my 2-year-old that aren’t tall enough so I added these to my sinks and now we can wash her hands easily without trying to balance her on a knee. She loves the little bit of extra independence, too. They are really flexible and will move out of the way when needed. I just push it to the side to fill the tank on my humidifier each night. Such a great idea and they are flexible and moveable and would be easy to toss into a suitcase or diaper bag if you wanted to take it to grandma’s or something." —Turducken
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95.
31. A nick-free hair remover that eliminates the need for a razor, at-home wax kit, or epilator — all despite the fact that you checked the weather and today calls for a mini skirt, not full-length pants like you'd planned for.
Ofc there is nothing wrong with body hair and you can def rock a skirt with leg hair, too — so do what feels right to you!
Promising review: "I love love love this shaver. It works great. Easy to use. Its design is a comfortable fit in my hand. The side grips allow no slipping. The more I use it the smoother my legs are. I have coarse hair and trouble with razor burn and ingrown hairs. This unit feels like an exfoliant treatment each time I use it. Really great. No irritation. I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $37.89.
32. 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 three sizes and colors).
33. A winged eyeliner stamp for those who LOVE the look of winged liner, but can't help but shake like a leaf when attempting to paint them on. Now, you can stamp 'em on and call it a day.
Promising review: "I just want to make my morning routine as easy as possible. i love winged liner but i don’t have the steady hand for it without mistakes. This makes the perfect and consistent wing every time. Love it! I ordered the 10mm and now i’ll have to try the 12mm!" —Julie B

What's included: 42 press-on nails in 21 sizes, non-damaging glue, wooden cuticle pusher, 2-in-1 file and buffer, and prep pad.
Promising review: "I threw these in my cart last minute, and I’m so glad I did! They’re so simple and so cute. They’re so easy to apply too!!" —Meghann M.
Get the set from Olive & June for $10 (and check out other designs here).
35. A 2-in-1 robotic Bissell vacuum and wet mop so you don't have to attend to tracked-in dirt, muddy footprints (or pawprints), and other debris. Instead, switch this baby on and hit the couch while it works.
The robotic vacuum/mop is powered by a lithium ion battery that can run for up to 130 minutes. It's suitable for use on wood, tile, linoleum, and other sealed hard floors.
Promising review: "I love this, it works so well! Super easy to use and figure out the different attachments. We have a dog who is constantly throwing grass and soil from her indoor potty all over the rug and we are also doing some home improvement projects so we have sawdust on the floor as well and this vacuum picks it all up super easily. I love that it’s so easy to change the wet and dry attachments and this thing has a surprisingly long battery life even on high power. I run this almost every day and I would say it’s well worth the price. My dog was a little scared of it at first but she has gotten used to it. Works great on our hardwood floors as well as on the rug." —Julia V.
Get it from Amazon for $299.99+ (available in two configurations).
36. An inflatable airplane bed for kids that not only gives them a place to peacefully nap, but prevents toys and snacks from going here, there, and everywhere.
The bed — which comes from the woman-run small biz Flyaway Designs — comes in a portable bag and a pump is included. It takes only 90 seconds to inflate and even less to deflate! And — an important note from the manufacturer — "It meets the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA’s) strict guidelines for inflight comfort devices."
Promising review: "This bed proved to be everything stated in the description. We flew premium economy on a 17-hour flight from SFO to SIN and this product provided a sturdy, flat bed for our toddler across the entire pitch from our seat to the next. It was his first flight ever and he slept comfortably about 10 hours or so (on the return trip as well). The product is also super easy / quick to inflate and deflate. Would highly recommend it." —Sunil N.
Get it from Flyaway Designs for $159.
37. A Dyson-compatible brush attachment you can pop on the end of your vacuum to give your pup a salonworthy grooming right at home.
What's included: Combing tool attachment and an adapter to expand compatibility (it works with the Dyson V6 through V11).
Promising review: "I could not write a better review for a better product — this thing is absolutely amazing. We have two German shepherds, a husky mix, and a long-haired mini Aussie. I was skeptical about how well this would work because I bought other vacuum attachments in the past, but this thing blew my expectations out of the water. It’s absolutely amazing, even with just a light brushing on our dogs it removed more than an entire canister of hair." —Shiane cleland

38. A Terro garbage guard that adheres to the lid of your trash can to prevent unwanted visitors like flies, maggots, roaches, or beetles. This way, you don't have to fling open the lid and throw your trash from a few feet away while screaming like a banshee.
The nifty device releases an odorless vapor that kills insects and prevents future infestations for up to four months. It also comes with an adhesive strip so installation is easy peasy.
Promising review: "My poor husband had been absolutely traumatized by maggots in our outside can when we got back from vacation. Over the next few weeks, I bleached and scrubbed the inside and outside like crazy. I basically zip-tied every bag of waste that went in. Still, it was a fly hotel and maggots were coming out of it and crawling on the outside like something in a horror movie. I bought this due to the other reviews, and it has been a silver bullet. The only flies in my can are dead flies, and there are no more maggots. The fly population around our home has also decreased dramatically. The garbage guard has definitely become a welcome part of our household maintenance routine!" —A

39. And a set of reusable silicone straws designed to unfurl for easy cleaning so you don't have to run them under water and just hope for the best. (In my experience that's a surefire way to suck up some leftover soap...)
Promising review: "I never thought I’d be writing a review for straws, but here we are. These are FANTASTIC. I try to be as eco-friendly as possible but was ready to give up. I’ve tried metal straws, but they are tough to clean and I don’t love metal against my teeth. I’ve tried other reusable plastic and silicone options but they don’t work for thicker drinks like smoothies. These actually address all of my issues. I’ve used them for thick smoothies, that I drink daily, and just for other everyday drinks like water. They couldn’t be easier to snap open and clean, dry, then easily snap back into shape to use again." —M. Alexandria
