1. A set of Avarelle rounded or extra-large hydrocolloid patches that can suck all the gunk out of your whiteheads while you sleep. If you have a habit of picking and popping surprise blemishes, keep some of these on hand.
2. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which can clean anything you throw at it — pots and pans, stove tops, showers, and even that Mountain Dew spill you "forgot about" in the fridge.

Promising reviews: "I saw someone using this on TikTok, and I was skeptical at first, but I thought I'd try it anyway. I am SO glad I bought this! I had a hair dye stain on the bottom of my bathtub for about a year from dyeing my hair at home, and I tried EVERYTHING...nail polish remover, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Scrubbing Bubbles foam spray, etc., with no avail. I also had calcium stains on the drain of my bathtub and sink that were a pain to get out. This product erased all of these stains with ease and made it look like they were never there! This is your sign to buy this...I am so happy!" —Savannah Martin
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in four sizes).
3. A liquid callus remover sure to eliminate the hard skin on your hooves (ahem, :::clears throat::: feet) if you're too terrified to face the glorified cheese grater at your local salon.
Promising review: "I found an article on BuzzFeed that mentioned how much customers loved this product. I was very skeptical at first because I’ve tried so many products and techniques to repair my extremely cracked heels. I decided to give this product a go since it wasn’t very expensive. AMAZING. I am speechless. I wish I had taken photos before to show what an extreme difference it has made in just one application. It was safe on my skin, but I would use with caution after reading reviews of skin burn, however this product is the first product that does exactly what it claims to do. I will continue to use. And I’m not embarrassed to go to the nail salon anymore! :P" —K.H.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
4. A 26-inch coil brush you can use to pull what feels like an endless amount of lint from your dryer. Why? Because 1) Things are taking wayyyyy too long to dry and 2) This Is Us has given you a *major* fear of house fires. (I know that was caused by a different appliance but my point still stands.)
5. 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.~
See it in action on TikTok here.
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. I saw this product highly recommended 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 moment's notice. After one treatment, 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. An absolute magical miracle potion! 10/10 for less then $10." —Beth
Get it from Amazon for $7.78.

6. A snout-soothing stick that helps with all sorts of nose woes from run-of-the-mill dryness and cracks to overgrowths and hyperkeratosis. The all-natural formula — with hemp seed oil, chamomile, jojoba oil, rosemary, and vitamin E — also includes SPF so it'll protect their snoot from the sun, too.
Natural Dog Company is a small biz that specializes in vet-approved balms, supplements, and other health and wellness solutions for pups.
Promising review: "I won't lie, I was skeptical after seeing this product on a BuzzFeed list of pet product must-haves. Our Skipper has had a dry, scaly nose for so long I thought it was just her nose forever. THREE DAYS. In three days, it was totally different! I only put it on twice a day for three days, and the dryness and flaky scales were gone! It's incredible!" —Lan
Get it from Amazon for $5.65.
7. And a tub of paw butter to soothe dry and cracked tootsies with a pH-balanced blend of shea butter, oatmeal, mango, vitamins E and F, coconut and olive oils, and aloe vera.
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but this actually worked! I've only put it on my Jack Russell terrier's paws two days in a row, but I can feel an improvement. You don't need to use a ton of it, which is good, because the container is smaller than I expected. If you have a larger pet, I'd advise buying two of these at a time. He has zero interest in licking it, and he will eat anything he thinks is food. He also has some allergies, and this balm does not affect him at all." —Maureen H.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
8. A pack of medicated bandages laced with salicylic acid to target both common warts and plantar warts. Just reapply every 48 hours until your wart is no more!
Promising review: "I had a plantar wart on the bottom of my big toe. I'd gotten a prescription cream from my doctor to treat it, but the cream would squish out from under the bandage as I walked. These have virtually the same active ingredients as my prescription cream, and the medicine STAYS PUT and doesn't smear. It's also effective! The bandage does come off when I go for a run, but I was able to fix that with a bit of waterproof bandage tape. It was an easy modification, and completely fixed the issue (and I suspect most people aren't asking a bandage to stay on the bottom of their big toe while heading out for a 6+ mile run)." —Jessica Kennedy
Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29.
9. A scalp care brush so you can treat your noggin to a salonworthy massage right at home. The tool can also help get rid of dandruff so you can spend less time worrying about it accumulating all over your dark sweater.
10. A Seche Vite top coat to prevent chipped polish and yellow nails after your next at-home manicure. Better yet, reviewers say it dries so fast that they've even taken showers just 15 minutes after applying it without fear of bubbles or smudging! 🤯
11. A leave-in conditioner for little ones with curly locks that are prone to tangles and breakage. Keratin, plum seed oil, and olive oil combine to leave them with shiny, healthy, incredible-smelling ringlets you can't help but sniff.
Promising review: "This leave-in conditioner has been amazing not only for my 18 month old's curls, but my hair as well! It smells amazing, is very hydrating, and is well worth all of the hype it gets! I just felt the need to write this review because I have looked for a great hair detangler/leave-in for so long (and have even used luxury products) and this one has been our favorite by far :)" —Taylor Rose
Get it from Amazon for $8.69.
12. A grooming glove so you can give your pet all the love they desire while covertly brushing away mats and tangles, too. Use it on wet or dry fur (it's great in the bath) and on your feline friends as well.
Promising review: "I was pretty skeptical of this goofy looking glove. But I saw it in an article of '21 Things You Must Have for Your Cat' and figured, what the heck. My big Maine Coone freaking loves this thing. It is mess free. My favorite thing about it is all of the fur comes off in one piece. It's not messy. And this is half the price than the ones you see at the store in the 'As seen on TV' section. Gonna make it a lot easier to brush my fluffy cat every day." —Breeze
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
13. A 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 $7.99+ (available individually or as a pair).
14. 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.
15. A pack of cord bundlers so you can organize unruly appliances and electronics. No more tripping over rogue laptop chargers or KitchenAid cords.
16. A magnetic meal planner you can stick right to your fridge so you can easily keep track of the week's menu and any groceries you may need to pick up. Go ahead and write down ice cream bc you know whether it's on there or not, you're gonna buy it. (As you should.🍦)
The notepad — from woman-owned small biz Bloom Daily Planners — has your meal plan on one side and a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off and take with you on the other side.
Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone, then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. Its being magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.
Get it from Bloom Daily Planners on Amazon for $9.95 (available in five designs).
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. A "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. 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. 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
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.91.
21. 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.
22. A set of bra extenders you can not only use on on your day-to-day bras, but also bodysuits and any other garment with hook-and-loop closures.
23. A water bottle tracker decal because you already own 15+ Nalgenes and Hydro Flasks but you could use a visual reminder to drink more H2O.
24. A set of heel caps so you don't become one with the Earth next time you attend an outdoor wedding.
25. A 3D window film for some extra privacy and a kaleidoscopic light show whenever the sun rises.
26. A 20-piece set of Browndages because what's "nude" for one person may not be for another, and bandages should be inclusive!
27. A copy of The Big Activity Book for Anxious People, which can help you take a step back from anxious thoughts by reading step-by-step instructions on how to build an underground bunker instead.
28. A child-proof outlet cover that allows you to plug things in like usual but also give you peace of mind that your toddler won't be able to mess around with it.
29. A heavy-duty ice scraper way more efficient than brushing your arm against your windshield. Since it's small, you can also tuck it right into a seat-back pocket so you never have to go searching for it.
30. An insulated neoprene cup sleeve because it doesn't matter that it's December and there's a blizzard brewing — you're still going out for iced coffee. This will not only keep your hands from freezing on the walk, but it'll also prevent condensation rings when you get home and place it right on your desk, no coaster in sight.
31. A 5-in-1 cork that aerates, pours, and filters your wine then serves as a leakproof stopper that extends the life of your bottle if you don't finish it in one go. (Though with the way things are going lately, that last use may be a moot point.)
32. A set of LED stickers designed to dampen the bright lights of your various electronics. When surrounded by a sea of shining alarm clocks, PS5s, smart-TVs, sound bars, and monitors, they make all the difference.
33. An address and password log book because look, I know the computer forgot your password but acknowledging that isn't about to solve the issue. Instead, write down all of your logins in this book and just be sure to keep it somewhere safe, huh?
34. A washable cleansing towel that — once moistened with a bit of water — is capable of wiping away a full face of makeup. If you dread getting out of bed once you've gotten comfy, you can even keep it on your nightstand and use it right before you hit the sack. (Just keep a water bottle handy, too.)
35. A 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!
36. A drain cover guaranteed to add ~inches~ of extra water to your bubble bath (now ft. a peppermint hot cocoa bath bomb). No more readjusting every five minutes so all parts of your body can experience what it's like to actually be underwater!
37. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes because despite the fact that you have 17 different cleaners under your kitchen sink, it is SO much easier to reach for a one-and-done wipe.
38. An all-natural, vegan stain-removing stick capable of ridding the most PERSISTENT stains, from grease and blood to dirt and grass. Swipe some on to the stain and then wash your garment as you usually would — you don't even have to launder it immediately!
39. A biodegradable bacon sponge on which you can drain grease from fried foods because you could not only clog your *own* drain if you dispose of it improperly, but your whole neighborhood sewer line as well.
40. 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.
41. A pair of tube squeezers sure to extract every last drop of toothpaste so you can work smarter, not harder. No more fruitless wringing or throwing away extra product.
42. And 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: "I was skeptical about these caps, but they work great. My kiddos usually leave blobs all over the counter, and this keeps everything nice and clean." —Maggie Finneran
Get a set of three from Amazon for $7.94+ (available in three colors).
43. 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 $7.95+ (also in two colors and Spanish language).
44. A scratch-free scraping tool because the stickers on those TJ Maxx candles aren't going to remove themselves and you just painted your nails yesterday.
45. A set of Wonder Hangers, which will ~triple~ your closet space so you can snatch every trending piece you come across on TikTok.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I purchased multiples of these Wonder Hangers for our small closets. These are really the best thing since sliced bread!!! Very sturdy, and they work well with all sorts of hangers including plastic ones. I was able to hang 30 additional shirts in one closet with room to spare. Easy to see clothing and clothes don't wrinkle. Love them!" —Angel's Helper
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and four pack sizes).
46. 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...
47. And an Angry Mama microwave cleaner that, once filled with water and a dash of vinegar, will steam clean the grimiest of appliances. Hot Pocket grease, butter splatters, and burnt popcorn smells are no match for her.
Promising review: "I was skeptical but ordered this product due to having trouble cleaning the microwave. I used vinegar, water, and a little splash of lemon juice. I put her in the microwave for eight minutes on high. Then I let her sit in there for two minutes. I used a rag and poured some of the leftover liquid on it to clean the residue. My microwave has not been this clean since the day I moved into my home!!! Worth every cent!" —Melyn Smith
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in different sizes and packs of one or two).
