1. A Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller sure to work just like your go-to oil-blotting sheets — only without creating any extra waste! Just roll the mattifying stick all over your T-zone (or anywhere else that gets greasy) and soak up excess oil.
In case you're wondering — no, the volcanic roller doesn't mess up your makeup. And once you've given your face a quick touch-up, just twist off the top of the roller to release the stone and give it a wash before your next use.
Promising review: "This rolling device is like pure magic. You simply roll it around your oily areas and BOOM the oil magically vanishes into the ball never to be seen again! If you have the chance to purchase this and you have oily skin, you will be pleased. Thank me later. ;)" —Veronica Cooper
Get it from Amazon for $12.06.
2. A Saucemoto dip clip ready to hold the single most important part of your takeaway meal: CONDIMENTS. 🙌🏻 With this resourceful car vent caddy, you'll never have to eat a dry road fry or nugget again!

3. A smol, octupus-shaped exfoliating stick that gently removes blackheads, whiteheads, and excess sebum so your T-zone can get a much-deserved breather.
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, and then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $11.88.
4. 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.
Get it from Amazon or Wad-Free for $19.99 (PS: they also make a version for blankets and duvets!)
5. A set of heel caps so you don't become one with the Earth next time you attend an outdoor wedding.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly put these to the test as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding:
"When my friend asked me to be a bridesmaid and I learned I'd be walking on grass for the ceremony, I got a bit worried. What's a klutz with a high center of gravity to do while trying not to 1) fall down in front of approximately 150 guests or 2) keel over while quietly stifling tears during her friends' vows? Buy some Heel Stoppers, that's what! I was able to easily slip them onto the glitter-encrusted heels (and later remove them with no damage to the heels).
On the day of the ceremony, these sturdy pieces of plastic made the heels much easier to walk in and prevented me from aerating the lawn. My feet still hurt to high heavens because those gorgeous shoes don't have a lot of support for a seldom stiletto-wearer like me. Out of all the dough I spent on my bridesmaid ensemble, these were the biggest bang for my buck!"
Get a pair on Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes).
6. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo that eliminates grease at your roots and keeps your scalp nice and healthy with antioxidant-rich black ginseng and nourishing biotin.
The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.
Promising review: "I honestly can't believe this works (at least for me)! I have really fine hair and gets oily fast. I usually have to wash my hair every day because of it. BUT this thing actually works! I was really skeptical because I fall for a lot of gimmicks but I was so hopeful that I gave it a try. Glad I did! I just dab it on my roots a couple of times and then I run my fingers through it and shake it out. I can usually go one to two days longer without the feel of greasiness." —Teresa Dunning
Get it from Amazon for $16.
7. A teensy tiny pack of dissolvable laundry sheets if you'll be away from home for a while and might need to hand wash some items while you're away. Yes, lots of hotels have washers and dryers, but that requires a whole lotta quarters, and you gotta watch your stuff like a hawk.
Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather. With these laundry soap sheets I was able to wash my clothes in the sink — letting me pack just the right amount of clothes for all the different places I went." —Katie Fujarski
Get a 50-count pack from Amazon for $11.08.
8. A pack of AirPod-cleaning putty ready to remove a shocking amount of earwax from your earbuds. Turns out they're not dying...they were just struggling to pump your tunes through a thick layer of dead skin cells and sebum.
See it on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on a TikTok somewhere. I was hesitant to buy it because I was afraid the putty would get stuck and damage my AirPods, which were FILTHY. However, when I tried them out, it worked really well — you can put a decent amount of pressure, and it does not stick to the AirPods at all. It got a LOT of gunk out of the AirPods. I was so shocked. But the best part was that after I used it, my AirPods SOUND QUALITY was so good?!?!?!?!? 10/10 I'd recommend this 100%." —NJoshi
Get 24 from Amazon for $12.99.
9. A tiny lil' Sauberkugel cleaning ball with a sticky interior that picks up lint, crumbs, dust, sand, and whatever else is floating around in that black hole you call a purse.
Once it loses its stickiness, just wash it off with water, and it'll be good to go again! Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." —Wenhether
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two colors).
10. An Alleyoop all-in-one razor — a TSA-approved gadget with a refillable spray bottle, shea butter moisturizing bar, and two triple-blade razor cartridges. The design is genius, but even better, the moisturizing bar won't melt, so if you're traveling somewhere hot, it'll fare just fine.
Promising review: "I love this product. I took it on a recent vacation and it really is a time saver. The moisturizer bar it comes with is soo nice. I usually get a little itchy after shaving, but the fact that you can rub in the excess product on the shaved area has helped with itch and ingrown hairs. Now that I'm not on vacation I use it right before I go the pool. I seriously take this thing everywhere." —Karlie Hanson
Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in two colors).
11. 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.
The portable sealers heat up on contact so there's no downtime before use. They also come with batteries so you can use them right away!
Promising review: "I couldn't wait to see if these really worked. As soon as I received them I went to work sealing bags of opened chip bags. They worked! No more stale chips. They have a built in magnet, so I can keep them handy on the fridge. I am really impressed with them. No waiting time, no buttons to mess with. Just slide the protective cover away to expose the roller and run it across what you want to seal. Easy!" —Monica
Get them from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two color combinations).
12. 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.
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I was a little skeptical this could actually work. I bought it because I was going to be in a wedding, and the makeup artist had to back out, so we all needed to do our own makeup! We tested the stamping on our hands first to get the idea of pressure needed and after that, it was ridiculously easy to use. I'm a huge fan of it now, it's super easy. I applied it at like 10 a.m. and lasted until I took my makeup off post-wedding at like 1 a.m. Love this product!" —Kindle Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three styles).
13. A set of reusable food huggers to keep your lemons lemony fresh for as long as you need them, plus keep other food like limes, avocados, and apples figuratively lemony fresh!
Promising review: "I bought these because I got tired of throwing away plastic bags or plastic wrap for halves of lemons and lime. I wish I had found these sooner! They work great and are perfect for storing halves of citrus." –Cheryl Wood
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two color combinations).
14. A Cocokind Mymatcha All-Over Moisture Stick — a versatile lil' product you can use on your lips, under eyes, and dry spots. The hydrating formula is packed with coconut oil, sunflower oil, and vitamin E which are gentle on your skin barrier as well as caffeine-rich matcha which can help relieve puffiness.
Check out a TikTok of the matcha stick in action.
Promising review: "Life changing. I have dry skin — especially on my face. As a middle-aged woman, I am always trying to figure out ways to moisturize! Also, I’m very particular about textures. If something is heavy or greasy — HARD PASS. This product is AMAZING. It gives you luxurious moisture without a greasy feel. I use it all over my face and my skin feels amazing. I bought more for Christmas gifts because the price is shockingly good for such an amazing product!" —Leslie Palmer
Get it from Amazon for $8.68+ (available in two formulas).
15. An 11-in-1 stainless steel pocket tool because you've listened to approx. 1,500 true crime podcasts, watched each and every film in the Saw franchise, and are now ready to MacGyver your way out of any nightmare situation you can think of.
The multitool includes a can opener, bottle opener, four-position wrench, two-position wrench, butterfly screw wrench, direction ancillary wrench, knife edge, saw blade, screwdriver, ruler, and keychain hole.
Promising review: "I rarely use tools, but on the rare occasion that I need one, I groan thinking that I need to go buy the respective tool. This multi-use pocket tool is just what a gal like me needs! The best thing about it is that unlike other multitools, it is flat and fits in your wallet! They also provide a carrying case so you can store it in your bag. With the stainless steel material, the tools are actually sharp — a pleasant surprise. This won't break with average use." —Johann Christine Alcaraz
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
16. A 5-in-1 cork that aerates, pours, and filters your wine then serves as a leak-proof stopper which extends the life of your bottle if you don't finish it in one go.
The manufacturer says the BPA-free stopper fits most standard wine bottles.
Promising review: "I wouldn't consider myself a wine connoisseur by any means, but I typically have a bottle or so float through my house each week. This wine corker takes the hassle out of pulling the original cork out, is easy to clean, makes the wine taste better, and hello it's five bucks! It would make a GREAT cheap gift for a wine drinker. At the moment, I only have the one, but I'm planning to grab a few more to keep on-hand." —jason lebeda
Get it from Amazon for $10.31.
17. 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).
18. A set of makeup spatulas because you spent $40 on that color-matching foundation and you'll be damned if even one drop goes to waste — especially in this economy.
Promising review: "Thrilled with this affordable tool. At first glance, I was worried the small spatula wouldn’t be small enough to fit into my Burt's Bees Day Lotion bottle opening, but I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to easily slip it through and scrape the sides of the bottle. I wonder why I have never thought to get this? All this time I have been living in ignorance, believing that the last bits of my precious face cream were a lost cause. This mildly life changing product is totally worth it!" —AmazonGirl777
Get a set of two from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six colors).
19. A hardworking humidifier-cleaning fish that prevents slime buildup in one of the most notoriously hard-to-clean home gadgets. According to one reviewer, it also scratches the same itch as having a real fish, which is a win for some!
Promising review: "These fish contain silver in a compound that dissolves slowly. Silver is bacteriostatic, it will not clean up a mess but it will seriously help prevent one unless your water source is not reasonably clean. Affluent Romans kept their water and wine in silver flasks for the same reason." —Robert Ezerman
Get it from Amazon for $8.29.
20. A Neutrogena makeup remover stick which makes it easy 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.
21. 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!!!
22. A self-closing, mess-free toothpaste cap that'll help you manage the amount of toothpaste you're using (statistically speaking, you're probably using too much...) AND keep your countertop nice and clean.
Promising review: "Accidentally found these cool little toothpaste caps! Cute, convenient, no mess, and can't live without them anymore! Saves all the goop from accumulating under the screw-on caps. Simply run under the faucet for a second to clean. I am always dropping plastic caps because I have MS. Now, no problem!!" —VEyaya
Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.95.
23. A tube of anti-blister balm because look, those sandals you're wearing are super cute but the jury is still out on whether or not they'll rub so bad your feet end up looking like raw meat.
Promising review: "This product is great to have on hand when you wear sandals in the summer. As I frequently travel for work and when one flies, your feet can swell, this keeps my feet from getting irritated." —Phyllis Frazer
Get it from Amazon for $9.
24. The Ring Thing — a waterproof jewelry holder you can use when you're getting a manicure, enjoying a day at the beach, or lifting weights at the gym. Simply slip your ring in here and you won't have to worry about losing it at the bottom of a tote bag or denting/scratching it during any activities.
The Ring Thing comes from BringThings, Inc., a woman-owned company dedicated to making "stylish, functional products." They donate a portion of each sale to A portion of each sale to anti-human trafficking non-profits.
Promising review: "Just what I was looking for! I feel much more comfortable having my engagement ring with me on travels and camping rather than just thrown into my usual travel jewelry box. The Ring Thing feels very well made, secure, and portable. Love that it comes with three rubber rings to separate the engagement ring from the wedding band to prevent scratches. Would definitely recommend." —Nicki Goitia
Get it from Ring Thing Designs on Etsy or Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors).
25. A reusable straw — in a darling lil' keychain carrier — so you can suck down bubble tea at a moment's notice!!
Check out a TikTok of the boba straw — from small biz Boba Tribe — in action on TikTok. It's small enough to keep in your bag and take on the go!
Promising review: "Super sturdy, easy to put together, cute, compact, allergen-safe, and simple to clean… It kind of solved all my problems with other reusable straws, and it’s small enough to use with some other drinks other than boba." —Gemma Rodrick
Get it from Boba Tribe for $16.99 (originally $19.99; available in four colors).
26. A pack of itty-bitty crevice-cleaning brushes that can get into nasty nooks like the spaces under your toilet seat, in your window grooves, and between your air conditioner grates. When you're done, just toss it — no need to clean it!
Promising review: "I purchased this product for cleaning the screws and tight places on the toilet. I have found multiple uses for them i.e. cleaning between the rim of skillet or pot and where the handle is attached. Great for cleaning car vents, behind faucets, and under faucet handles. The list goes on and on. Will purchase again. I am using these as stocking stuffers for the adults in my family." —Kat
Get a pack of 28 from Amazon for $12.99.
27. A super helpful moisture meter if your plant parent instincts have recently come into question. This nifty tool ensures you don't under or over water your bb so you can spend a long, happy life together!
28. Some best-selling Starface Hydro-Stars! They're made with 100% hydrocolloid which helps absorb icky impurities and the packaging has a built-in mirror so you can apply them on the go.
Starface is a small business that specializes in cruelty-free skincare products.
Promising reviews: "For starters, the package is so adorable and cute. I truly love them. Some people are saying they don’t get rid of your pimples, they just make them smaller, but my experience is totally different. They not only make my pimples smaller, but they completely get rid of them and they stop me from picking at my skin. Again everyone's skin is different and I’m not getting paid to write this but these help me feel beautiful and comfortable in my own skin. 🫶🏼🤍" —Paola Valcarcel
Get them from Amazon for $14.97.
29. An automatic mango- and hibiscus-scented toilet bowl cleaner that not only deodorizes, but prevents nasty rings and stains for up to two weeks.
Promising review: "So I decided to try this product after reading the reviews, some great and some not so great. I also talked to a friend who loves them! So, I figured for less than $4 I didn’t have much to lose and let me tell you these things smell AMAZING!!! Super easy to apply and the scent isn’t too strong but you can smell it when you go potty! If you pay attention to the water in the toilet bowl you can see that it’s actually working as well! Not sure how long each one will last but for the price, you can just buy more!! I’ve also heard these are way better than the ones that hang onto the side of the toilet!" —Kay Kay
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $4.47.
30. And a hands-free Bluetooth remote so you can read an e-book or scroll through TikTok without even having to *touch* your Kindle or phone.
It's also great to use while scrolling in the bath so you don't get your phone wet — check it out in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "The best purchase. Honestly, this is the coolest; it’s lightweight, and it’s easy. I’m glad I bought it." —Justine Laviolette
Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (available in three colors).
