Promising review: "OK I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." —Amazon Shopper

Promising review: "They exceeded my expectations. They are attractive, sturdy yet lightweight. These will be great for informal entertaining in home, outside, or even poolside. The cutout securely holds a wineglass and the cocktail area is sufficient for cheese, fruit, and/or other nibbles." —Cynthia J. Salim
Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (for four).
The tool isn't just for stickers; use it on candle wax, soap buildup, dried food, and more. It's dishwasher-safe, so you don't have to clean off any sticky residue, either.
Promising review: "The perfect handy tool for getting into tight places. It's firm enough for multiple uses but it doesn't scratch or mar surfaces. I should have gotten the five-pack, I have so many uses for these things. I think the best use yet was cleaning the sliding door track, I finally could get into the corners to get the grunge out. A great invention." —MissPicky

Himalayan salt is naturally anti-microbial so once you're done, just wipe them clean and store somewhere dry (the latter is v important!!).
Promising review: "We use these for special occasions and to taste new tequila brands. To clean, you simply rinse the salt cup under water. Super fun and easy to use! Will definitely give this as a gift to friends in the future." —Jeninnm

Minnesota-based Etsy seller Jacob Wolff (I Lake The Life) has racked up hundreds of 5-star reviews for his squirrel picnic tables which come in three different styles.
Promising review: "We absolutely love our little squirrel picnic table! The quality is excellent and it was clearly packaged with love and care. Neighbors have already asked where we got it and it’s been outside for only one day. A great purchase!" —Sarah Birdsall
Get it from I Lake The Life on Etsy for $25.99.
The LED light has two brightness levels and can be hung as a pendant, used as a table lamp, or flipped upside down to sit on its shade (she versatile). It's splash-proof, too, so outdoor use is fair game.

If you're trying to guestimate how many you'll need, each rack holds ~roughly~ 50 hangers.
Promising review: "I grew tired of throwing my empty hangers into a pile in my closet. They would get all tangled up and really frustrated the heck out of me every time I had to put away clothes! This hanger stacker seemed like an easy solution and boy, was I right! It assembles really easily (just two screws and an Allen wrench) and it is good at keeping my hangers organized. Buy one — you won't regret it!" —Bubbles456

Each mint has 40 mg of caffeine as well as B vitamins complex. Two mints = the same amount of caffeine as a full coffee but it acts five times faster than your drink of choice!
Promising review: "I LOVE these mints. They taste great in general and I've had every flavor. I never understood the caffeine crash from coffee people often complain about, because I used to drink loads of coffee and I didn't really experience one. In fact, I was always tired and I never got much of a caffeine boost. Then I started using these mints. I got a noticeable caffeine boost and I could tell when the boost was slowly fading away, but I never felt tired after. I just felt normal." —Queen Torres
Get a single pack from Amazon for $4.99 or a pack of six for $19.99 (both available in five flavors).
A single charge can keep your drink piping hot for 1.5-on-the-go-hours or if you leave it on the charging coaster, it'll maintain its temp all day. There's more to the stainless steel mug than just temperature, too. It'll automatically turn on and off when it senses your cup is empty or liquid has been poured in. It's basically the mug of our dreams.
Promising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I hate when my coffee gets cold. I was originally looking for one of those warming coaster, but then I saw the Ember mugs...there was no turning back. I can take my coffee with me into my bosses office and it still stays hot?? Yes please. I used that app and have adjusted my temp down to 127 degrees. It stays at that temperature the entire time. I’ve not had an issue with battery life either, doesn’t take me more than an hour to polish off a cup of coffee. I HIGHLY recommend." —Mathews

Stick the traps into your plants with the aid of seven included stakes and watch as they mercilessly trap whiteflies, fungus gnats, blackflies, fruit flies, and any other flying insect your home may be harboring.
Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately I added a new house plant, plus repotted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan

Promising review: "These mini cast-iron skillets are the perfect size for individual pot pies or other meals. I bought them after seeing them on a cooking show where someone made pies and the — best of all — molten brownies. Your guests will be so impressed when you pull these straight from the oven and serve them for dinner or dessert." —lynne

Promising review: "I am eating low carb but still crave the taste of toast or toasted bagels. Found this seasoning to use to give me the flavor of eating a toasted bagel without having to eat the bread/bagel. It tastes great, and was exactly as I expected. I've used it in a few recipes so far and it greatly enhanced the flavor. I will buy this again when I run out. Wish there was a Trader Joes in my area but glad Amazon has this item available." —luv2shop

The travel pillow — which is made from cozy sweatshirt material — features a deflatable inner pillow so you can fold it up and store it in between uses.
Promising review: "Best idea I had to buy this. It blocks out the light on flights and car rides. It fits as tight as you wish around your neck by adjusting the hood ropes. Felt extremely comfortable although may look a little silly. Slept over five hours on an international flight." —Renee
Get it from Amazon for $13.67+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
Promising review: "Fantastic lip balm, I genuinely hate sweet-flavored lip balms, and the plain ones are too boring; so this one is perfect. It smells of bourbon without coming off alcoholic. I had dry, chapped, and, frankly, gross lips when it arrived and now, two days later, I'm doing great. I also like the barrel shape — it's flatter and wider than more lip balms, so it better fits in my pocket." —Caitlin Egan
Get it from Amazon for $6.50.
Promising review: "These are the most amazing cutting boards! It is so handy to be able to slice, dice, chop, and then fold it up and pour into a bowl. I love them and have them in three sizes!" —C. Whitten
Get it from Amazon $14 (available in seven colors).
The nifty, wall-mounted organizer can hold 82 batteries in total, including 25 AAAs, 39 AAs, 4 9Vs, 8 Cs, and 6 Ds. An attached battery tester means you can also gauge the charge on each; no more swapping out your TV remote's batteries with fingers tightly crossed!
Promising review: "We have forever kept spare batteries in sandwich baggies in a kitchen junk drawer for quick convenience. The bags would always come open and scatter batteries or tear. One day, I decided to reorganize — I found this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It was a major step in reorganizing my junk drawer! I also discovered that I had five dead batteries stored for use. How wonderful was that? Now I'll never replace a dead battery with another dead battery. I love things that help me stay organized and this is a huge plus." —FergFam

It's super easy, too — there's no green thumb required. Just cover each sheet with one-eighth of an inch of topsoil, give it a few weeks, and sprouts will start to pop up.
Promising review: "I just received some more gift wrap that grows! I recently started using it to wrap the organic products that I make and sell for my small aromatherapy business. I have actually gotten phone calls from clients who are excited about how beautiful their products look upon arrival and how excited they are about the wrap that grows! The paper is beautiful and is perfect for those who care about our earth and want to give a gift that sets all others apart. And, just an FYI — even though it’s thicker, it’s easy to work with and can also be used instead of tissue paper." —Debby M

The organizer's bridge design means you can store medicine bottle underneath and skinnier items — like razors, toothbrushes, or flossing picks — on top. Two side compartments also make it easier to stand up items that take too much space lying down — we're talking toothpaste, lipstick, thermometers, etc.
Promising review: "My medicine cabinet looks so neat with these organizers! The quality of plastic is good; the compartment size is convenient. I bought a few different sizes and found use for all of them. Highly recommended." —ZK

The Bug Bite Thing (of Shark Tank fame) works on bites from mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, and more. Basically, the gadget sucks out insect venom and saliva — two things that lead to itchiness and irritation. With that out, your skin should stop swelling and be back to normal in no time!
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca

This adorable little guy can be used a few different ways. To keep things like brown sugar and fresh cookies nice and moist, soak it in some water and then place it in the same container. On the flip side, keep things like chips and crackers nice and crispy by using it dry.
Promising review: "Not only do I use one of these little fellows for my brown sugar, I picked up a tip from someone else. If you take one of these little guys and don't run him under water, but leave him perfectly dry, he will help keep your electronics such as cameras dry in the camera bags during humid months by absorbing the humidity. How perfect is that? A multi-tasking little fellow. Well worth getting multiples of. I'm sure I can find other uses as well." —A.B.A.
Get it from Amazon for $11.05 for a pack of two.
Each sheet comes with 100 adhesive bumpers which can be put on doors, chair legs, or anything else that could use some quieting down.
Promising review: "These work very well to dampen the sounds of my idiot roommates slamming cabinet doors at all hours of the day. Just make sure you're wiping down the part of the cabinet they'll stick to before applying them. The adhesive is good and should hold for a while." —LMA
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (for a sheet of 100).
Promising review: "I needed two things out of a laundry bag: something that could fit three to four loads and something that was not just flimsy canvas or cloth. This checked both of those boxes. The bag is adorable in that it is made to resemble a punching bag (and I often show aggression toward my laundry as it is my least favorite chore) and has a durable PVC bottom so even when you set it on a concrete laundromat floor, it protects your clothes and holds up to wear and tear. Worth the price for sure!" —Sarah

FYI the curtain has nine mesh pockets which are able to hold items up to 1 pound each, so just don't go throwing a mega-size conditioner in there, okay?
Promising review: "This is the perfect solution for my tub/shower situation. We have no shelving, and showerhead racks tend to get rusty/caked with soap and have even fallen off. We've had this in the shower for three months now and it's great. It holds all our bottles, razors, and bars of soap." —Rachel B

The thick rubber pads can be used on a variety of floors and they'll stop vibrating, wobbling, and unnecessary noise.
Promising review: "Very good for recently purchased washer/dryer combo unit. The machine makes a lot of vibrations when it is in spinning mode. However after installing this anti-vibration pad, it's very quiet. I just hear the water valves sound. I'm really happy with the result." —katt

Whether you have the memory of a dog or split feeding duties with an S.O./roommate/family member, this nifty little tracker will prove indispensable. The gadget tracks a.m. and p.m. feedings Sunday through Saturday and the sliders "click" into place when moved, so you don't have to worry about bumping them if you brush them on accident when reaching for the light switch.
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just see if it's green and if not I feed them and indicate it, we all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as a set of two and three, and in a cat version).
