    39 Hard-Working Products Anyone Who Identifies As Being A Little Bit Lazy Will Need

    Mop slippers, an automatic stirrer, a winged eyeliner stamp, and 36 other things that will help you continue to live your best lazy life.

    1. A wrinkle release spray — now you don't have to lug out the iron and the ironing board just to get all the crinkles out of your favorite shirt. It's as simple as spraying the wrinkly part, stretching the garment a little bit, and in SECONDS, your clothes are smooth and crisp!

    To use, just spray, stretch the garment a little bit, and in SECONDS, those wrinkles are gone! 

    Promising review: "HOLY SMOKES. I wasn't expecting this product to work so well. Literally 10 seconds after spraying and gently stretching as the directions suggested, this was the difference! I let it hang for another 15 minutes with a subtle improvement, but the first few seconds after were mind-blowing." —Desiree

    Promising review: "This allows one to get to the point. Great for busy individuals or overthinkers. It also helps you gauge what is important and what it is you want to highlight about that day in a couple of sentences. I have forgotten to write for a few days but it was easy to catch back up since the diary is so direct. I love the concept. The book is small so it makes storage or travel a breeze." —SouthernMs

    Get it from Amazon for $12.16 or Bookshop (to support local booksellers) for $15.59.

    3. A gooseneck mount you can attach anywhere (yes, even your headboard!) so you don't even have to hold your device to watch it. Just sit back, relax, and keep watching your favorite reality show.

    This is compatible with phones, tablets, and the Nintendo Switch.

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for. I had been wanting to play my Nintendo Switch in bed without having to hold up the entire console. This mount allows me to have the screen hover above my head while my arms and neck can relax. This is the ultimate in laziness and I love it. :)" —Michael K.

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

    4. Pretty Fab Nails nail wraps so you don't have to go to the salon to get professional-looking designs on your nails! Instead, just peel the backing off these wraps, stick them on, and your nails just turned into a piece of art.

    Promising review: "I am on my third set of these nail wraps and I love them. The designs are so pretty and fun. I tend to change designs weekly (because it’s fun!), but I think they could last longer if you wanted them to. These make a great gift as well." —Krista

    5. A coffee warmer if you can't be bothered to get up from your desk to make a new cup of coffee when it gets cold. Now your morning java will stay gloriously warm for as long as you need it to.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I had gone through two other coffee warmers in a month, both of which got raving reviews on Amazon but barely kept coffee warm for 30 minutes. So I decided to splurge on this more expensive one. BEST DECISION EVER! Not only does it keep your coffee warm, it keeps it HOT on the highest setting. It does an excellent job at keeping your coffee hot for as long as you want, PLUS it is super easy to turn on and off. When you turn it off, it displays the lowest hot setting light to show you the plate is still hot so no unsuspecting burns. This is hands down the best option on the market."Elizabeth Harris

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six colors).

    6. A robot vacuum because anything that can do a chore for me is something I'm willing to spend my money on. If you have a dog who constantly sheds, you can set this to run every day to keep up with the tornado of hair your pup's leaving behind.

    Promising review: "Wow... worth the money!!!! Thanks to my mom, ever since I got my Eufy vacuum robot, I was in LOVE!!!! It did an amazing job keeping the house clean. Honestly, I was so impressed with the vacuum. You would think my house was clean, but when I used the vacuum on the house, it picked up so much dirt and junk, it was incredible. What was so astounding about Eufy was it was so quiet and yet, the suctioning power was impressive." —YKR

    Get it from Amazon for $188.22 (available in two colors).

    7. A set of Lovoir winged eyeliner stamps if you just don't have the willpower to learn how to do the perfect winged liner. This will save you from so much frustration during your makeup routine!

    a reviewer showing how easy their cat eye came out with the tool

    Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat-eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise I put the left cat-eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT-EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat-eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." —LadyMeow

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes).

    8. A air fryer cooking cheat sheet magnet to keep on your fridge so you know exactly how long to cook every kind of food instead of just shoving it in the basket and hoping for the best.

    Get it from First-Rate Gifts on Etsy for $19.99 (available in four colors).

    9. A popular microwave pasta cooker that somehow makes whipping up a yummy bowl of noodles even easier?! All you have to do is place the container with the pasta and water in the microwave, and in a few minutes they'll be ready to eat!

    The water drains straight out of the maker, so no need to dirty a colander!

    Promising review: "I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I try to limit my monthly food expenditures and the Fasta Pasta helps me work in at least one inexpensive pasta meal every week. If not more. First of all, I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps and a big cleanup afterwards. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap. No big pot; no colander; no spaghetti fork to lift out the pasta. Just the easy-to-clean Fasta Pasta and a pot to heat up the sauce. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!" —Smilin Sam

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

    10. A set of three flameless flickering candles you can literally turn on and off without having to even get up from the couch thanks to the remote. They have a great ambiance, and you won't ever forget to blow it out and risk a fire!

    Promising review: "Too cool! Looks super realistic! Great investment. I was looking for an alternative to actual candles to light up my new apartment and these flameless ones sufficed! Looks so real my sister was surprised and didn't believe they were artificial LOL. The cool thing about them being battery operated is that you don't have to have all the candles in one place. They come as a set of three and I have two on my coffee table and the other one in the guest bathroom.  Anyhoo I am about to place another order after I submit this review. I would like to put some in the master bedroom and bathroom! Hmm I think I will put some in my office as well...why not! Thanks, Amazon!" —Diane Diane

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four styles). 

    11. A weekly shower cleaner, which might just be the ultimate cleaning product because all you have to do is spray your whole shower one a week, and them simply walk away and rinse it off the next day. You don't even need to scrub!

    Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

    12. A hamper with three compartments to keep darks, colors, and whites separate. You're officially leaving your days of stuffing all of your clothes into the washing machine and hoping for the best behind. Congrats!

    13. A Duvaid duvet cover changing accessory if you literally put off washing your sheets because re-inserting the duvet into the freshly washed duvet cover is such a pain in the butt. This nifty tool gets the job done in seconds!

    A split image of a model's hands placing a duvet cover in the Duvaid's white clamps

    To use, tuck the grips under the mattress, insert the corner of the covered duvet into the clamps, and then just pull the cover over the rest of the comforter. Magic!

    Promising review: "Duvaid is a game-changer. I hate when my wife asks me to change our duvet cover because it's such a pain to do it by yourself. You're trying to hold the end at the head of the board in place while pulling the cover down to the other end of the bed without the comforter shifting and sliding. Impossible. Until Duvaid. It works effortlessly — just put one grip under the mattress, lock in the corner of the comforter and cover into the other grip, repeat for the other side, and you can easily slide the cover over your comforter. It's like magic. Doing this household chore will never be the same." —DC and Valerie

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    14. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, capable of removing set-in rust stains in your kitchen sink, burnt-on food in your oven, and even crayon marks on the wall. If you've been putting off cleaning something in your house because it just looks too difficult to handle, this miracle cleaning paste gives you no excuse! Start cleaning!

    Promising review: "THIS STUFF IS MAGIC. If you’re questioning getting this to clean harder stains or anything, this is your review to read! I was a little skeptical because I’ve tried many things to clean my shower door with the hard-water stains and nothing really ever got it completely clean...this stuff did! I wish I would have taken before pictures. It did take a couple of applications and some scrubbing, but honestly I didn’t have to scrub hard, just used a wet cloth and this and my shower door is now completely clean without any hard water stains! I’m obsessed. Now to see what else I can clean with it." —Rachel Anne Deaton

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    15. A Home Chef subscription if you want to cook at home more but don't really have the energy to come up with meal ideas and go grocery shopping. Reviewers love the easy instructions, variety of options available, and the quality of the food they receive.

    This meal kit subscription offers gluten-free, dairy-free, meatless, calorie-conscious, and carb-conscious meals, so whatever your dietary preferences are, they'll have something for you! Each shipment includes portioned and labeled ingredients and the instructions to cook the meal. Most meals take 30 minutes to cook, but there are also 15-minute meals as well as oven-ready meals that you just pop right into the oven when you're ready to eat.

    Promising review: "Excellent flavors, easy to make, good variety of meals, arrive fresh and correctly prepared every time. Couldn't be more pleased. Has saved me time and money during the busy weekdays!" —Jessica

    Get it from Home Chef for $6.99+/per serving.

    16. A dishwasher magnet so you can finally stop handwashing the same bowl over and over again to eat out of because you can't remember if the dishwasher has clean or dirty dishes in it. This is a much more civilized way go about your life!

    1620 Designs / Etsy

    Based in Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1620 Designs makes assorted laser-cut and engraved items for home and business use. 

    Promising review: "Exactly what we needed to signal whether the dishwasher has been run, or not. Magnet is strong. Easily switches from clean to dirty. I like the size and quality of the item. Now, if only my family remembered to switch it from dirty to clean to dirty when appropriate!" —Jacklyn Christensen

    Get it from 1620 Designs on Amazon Handmade for $11.99 or from 1620 Designs on Etsy for $11.25

    17. A bunch of Miracle-Gro "food spikes" for anyone who struggles to keep their plants alive. You're going to be *so* proud of yourself when you notice your plant is actually thriving and not just barely holding on — and all you have to do is stick the spike in the soil!

    This fertilizer is formulated specifically for indoor plants, and one spike lasts up to two months! They're especially great for ficus, snake plants, crotons, spider plants, or pothos plants.

    Promising review: "LOVE THESE! People will remark on your plants when you start using them. These make a huge difference if you haven't been feeding your plants — super easy to use — just stick them in your plants and forget about it. I put new ones in all my plants about once a month. They're like magic!! I give them away as gifts, they're that great. :)" —Vicki Huntman

    Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $3.47.

    18. Bissell Stomp N' Go stain lifting pads so you don't even have to scrub the next time your pet has an accident or you spill a drink on your carpet. All you have to do is place the pad on the stain, stomp down on said pad, and it'll lift that stain right out of the carpet like ~magic~.

    The cleaning formula is actually in the pad already, so you don't have to even spray anything on the stain!

    Promising review: "I never ever write reviews for anything, but I just had to write one for these. We have two dogs and one of them will get sick or have an accident in the house a few times a month. I've used all kinds of carpet cleaner as well as the SpotBot, but they never seemed to really get the stains out. I bought these on a whim because I was desperate to find something that might work and guess what? THEY WORKED! No joke, every stain I have put these on has come out of the carpet. I have told everyone I know about these and have heard great things from them as well. If you are on the fence, just give them a try!" —Angela Mimm

    Get 20 pads from Amazon for $24.99.

    19. A hard-boiled egg timer if you avoid making hard-boiled eggs just because of how finicky the cooking time can be. No more guesstimating —  just take a peep at the timer, and you'll be able to see exactly how cooked your egg is.

    reviewer image of three boiled eggs cooked at different times to show yolk differences
    reviewer image of timer sitting in pot with two eggs boiling

    Simply plop the timer and the color of the timer will change to indicate how boiled the eggs are, so you know when it's time to take 'em out.

    Promising review: "100% necessary? No...however, it does make one thing a little easier for me in the morning. Instead of watching the pot and waiting for the water to boil to start the timer you can just put the NobelEgg in the pot with your eggs, start the heat and just wait for your eggs to be done. Can't wait to give some as gifts!" —BaileyBoo

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98.

    20. A silicone utensil rest to place your spoons and spatulas on while you're cooking so you don't get your counter dirty. Much easier to clean this rest than to scrub off dried spaghetti sauce from your granite countertops!

    It's also dishwasher-safe and heat-resistant! 

    Promising review: "This thing is fantastic and the price point is ludicrously cheap. It works exactly as it should, if not better. The gaps look so small at first, but when you actually use the tools, the gaps are perfect. Favorite feature is the lip that surrounds the drip area. I was making risotto and I placed the spatula on its side and it dripped a sizeable amount. Luckily the lip caught it all, meaning I had a clean counter. Cleaning was essentially as easy as rinsing under warm water, and there was no staining." —Mike S

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and 26 colors).

    21. A fizzing toilet tablet so you don't have to spend your Sunday scrubbing all those gross stains in your toilet. All you have to do is drop this in your toilet bowl, let it fizz for a bit, and then lightly brush the sides. All that gunk disappears when you flush!

    Melanie Aman / BuzzFeed

    Pardo Naturals is a Black-owned, woman-owned small business based in Covington, Georgia, that specializes in products designed for people with issues related to sensitive skin.

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping's Melanie Aman says about it: "For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (although that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup."

    Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents).

    22. A refreshing room spray to freshen up your space and have it smell fantastic...even if you've been procrastinating on cleaning and washing your linens for about a week now.

    Get it from The Sassy Alpaca on Etsy for $6 (available in nine scents and custom requests).

    23. An Instant Pot aka the true MVP of any kitchen. This 7-in-1 kitchen gadget acts as a rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, warmer, and you can sauté in it. It's almost like there's a teeny tiny private chef hiding in this thing magically whipping up tasty recipes!

    The Instant Pot with lid removed
    Amazon

    This handy kitchen gadget has seven functions: rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer!

    Promising review: "I love my Instant Pot. I own a traditional pressure cooker that I rarely used because I felt like I need to constantly watch it, so I was reluctant to invest in an Instant Pot. I am so glad I did. I have used it at least twice a week since I bought it and sometimes three or four times. I have done everything from cook hard-boiled eggs, cook ribs, to bake a cheesecake. I almost never use my other slower cooker, because I can brown meat right in the Instant Pot and use the slow cooker setting. My most used accessories are the steamer basket ($19.99), springform pan ($13.59), extra liner ($29.99) and extra sealing ring ($11.95). The least used is the hard boiled egg steamer rack ($17.99; the steamer basket holds a lot more and is easier to use). If my Instant Pot died tomorrow, I would feel certain that I had more than gotten my money's worth and immediately buy another." —mickey

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three sizes).

    24. A pack of three-in-one laundry detergent pods formulated with detergent, stain remover, and color brightener — instead of having to measure out and remember to add all three of those products, all you have to do is plop one of these into the washing machine and you're good to go!

    Promising review: "I purchased the Lavender & Vanilla scent thinking there would be a sweet scent lingering on my clothes after each wash. What I got was much better than I expected! The scent wasn’t one that was sweet or 'perfumey' but instead was very fresh and light. The cleaning power was great and I even washed my gym clothes and saw great results. I will definitely be purchasing again!" —Amazon Customer

    Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $8+ (also available in packs of 60 and 132 and four scents).

    25. An automatic dog and cat feeder so you only have to remember to fill the feeder every few days when the food runs out. This takes the guessing game out of the age-old question "did I feed Fido today?!" and you'll be able to breathe easy knowing your pet will still be fed even if you have to work late one night.

    Promising review: "Works great, and I cannot recommend this enough! My cats throw up if they eat too much, so it is great being able to feed them very small amounts (1/8 cup) per feeding, up to 12 times per day. I upgraded to this WiFi model from the non-Wi-fi model and it is quite nice having the option to feed them with a click of a button on my phone. I also bought the splitter adapter that will make it work for two cats. This is a great and inexpensive alternative to buying a second feeder for almost $200. My cats used to fight over the one food bowl, but now that I can have two separate bowls there is no more fighting!" –Beachbum

    Get it from Amazon for $129.95.

    26. A natural all-purpose cleaner that will actually encourage you to keep up a regular cleaning routine because you can scrub practically any surface in your house with this gentle (but hard-working) formula.

    27. A pre-filled grocery list to help you head to the store with a game plan instead of wandering through the aisles grabbing everything that looks good. The best part is you can stick right on your fridge so you can just add items to the list whenever you run out.

    Promising review: "This is a wonderful grocery list. It has multiple sections pre-written and it even has some blanks in each section so that you can add any items that aren't already on the list. You can even put the list on the fridge because there are magnets on the back. Very handy. :)" —Lydia

    28. A pet grooming glove with 255 silicone grooming tips that pick up all the loose hair in your pet's coat. Now you don't have to make grooming your pet a whole extra chore — you can give them a good pet, bond with them, and catch all that loose hair at the same time!

    Promising review: "I have a 4-month-old husky pup (Sasha) who just started shedding. These grooming gloves are the perfect solution! My puppy would sit and let you scratch her all day if you had the time! I can sit and wipe her down and 'scratch/pet' her with the gloves on and she can't get enough of it! It is a win-win scenario. The gloves are super easy to clean too. I initially made the mistake of trying to pull all of the hair off, which doesn't work well since it is obviously meant to hold on to the hair. Instead, rub the gloves together like you are trying to warm your hands and the hair will quickly ball up and fall off into the trashcan!" –IT Guy

    Get a pair of gloves from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors).

    29. Mop slippers you can slide on over your shoes so you can literally just walk around your house and still get your cleaning done. Even if you're just walking from the couch to the pantry and back again — with these on, you're still mopping those floors, baby!

    Promising review: "I loved the fact I could put these on my feet and clean my hard wood floors easily without breaking my arms like I do with the handheld mops. AND they polish the floors so much better than anything else I’ve used! I use the Bruce floor cleaning spray and then slide/dance across the floor to polish. Another perk, you get a great workout from it!!" —B dunn

    Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $15.98.

    30. An Alleyoop Pen Pal with an eyeliner, lip liner, brow pencil, and highlighter — pretty much all the makeup essentials you need to do a five-minute makeup look. Now you can still throw your makeup on even if you're running late, slept in, or are headed out on a last-minute date.

    My BuzzFeed shopping colleague Jasmin Sandal has this and loves it. She says:

    "I didn't realize I'd ever use a makeup product in my 20s that had the ability to transport me back to something I used in sixth grade, but here we are; and here I am using a multitool pen... for my face. I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think it’s a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touch-ups come the end of the work day, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already overflowing makeup bag!"

    Promising review: "Such a time saver to have this 4-in-1 tool! I use it daily and love that it is so compact." —Lauren F.

    Get it from Alleyoop for $25 (available in three shades).

    31. Or this all-over color stick from Axiology that comes in a variety of colors so you can create a monochromatic look that truly complements your skin tone. People won't even realize you only used one product to do your makeup!

    Promising review: "This product is fabulous. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I do. I thought the texture might be too crayon-like, but it’s absolutely not. It blends beautifully and lasts. I chose the shade Raspberry. It’s a wonderfully happy fuchsia/hot pink color." —Heidi J.

    Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c-type hair and struggle with a lot of breakage and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one because of the alcohol consumption. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" —Theressa Hailey

    33. An Echo Dot to basically act as your personal assistant — schedule meetings, set alarms, look up the weather, play your favorite playlist. It's harder to think of something this gadget doesn't do.

    Promising review: "I have friends and family who have made fun of me for using the Echo Dot around my home. Well, I gave a few as gifts. 'Why would I ever need something like this?' turned into love within the first hour! The music, the information, and the whole Alexa experience made her a huge believer. The same thing happened with my sister and my niece. They loved it. Now we also 'drop in' to talk to one another. I'd say it was a huge hit, and based on my personal experiences plus their enthusiastic acceptance, I have to give Alexa and the Echo Dot five stars." —Greg C.

    34. A set of angled measuring cups so you don't have to bring the cup up to eye level or bend down to see how much you've poured in. Why didn't I think of this?!

    It makes cooking and baking so much easier, and your measurements will be more accurate! The set comes with 1-cup, 2-cup, and 4-cup angled measuring cups.

    Promising review: "This is a very inventive design for something that cooks use every day. I originally purchased the 2-cup model of the Oxo measuring cup and liked it so much that I decided to buy the set. These are so much more usable than the Pyrex or Anchor traditional glass measuring cups because they so much easier to read. I have some Anchor measuring cups that are 20+ years old and the red markings have faded and are really hard to see. Since the Oxo can be read from the top, the measuring cup can rest on the counter for accurate measurement. No more holding it up in the air like a mad scientist measuring out liquids! Even the rubberized handle is well designed. Since these are made from clear plastic, they are very lightweight. The handle goes all the way to the counter to stabilize the measuring cup. It's very well thought out." —Bocaboy

    Get the set from Amazon for $20.95.

    35. An overall jumpsuit for the days you can't even think of putting together an outfit. Just throw this on, add accessories, and you'll be ready to tackle the day in style (and comfort).

    Promising review: “I love these overalls/jumpers! They are quite comfortable and roomy. I got an XL in them and they fit just as I would like. I wanted that baggy feel to show when I would wear them. The material is just a little on thin side, thus making the overalls very light to move in. But still, that's not really a con either and only something to point out. I believe the material type is cotton. Overall, I love them and might purchase another color in them in the future!" —Interesting

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 13 colors and women's sizes XS–5XL).

    36. An automatic laser toy if you have an active cat and don't want to spend all your time trying to entertain them. This helpful gadget will keep your feline friend distracted and engaged so you can finally get some peace and quiet.

    Promising review: "The cats have started asking me to turn this thing on. Several times a day. They meow at me if I don't comply. The other day they tipped it over and the laser was sweeping across the ceiling. The orange cat was attempting parkour to try to get the ceiling red dot thingie. The other cat makes cooing noises as he chases the dot around the living room. He has never made cooing noises before. This has given them hours upon hours of entertainment and exercise...so I am quite pleased with the purchase." —Andrea Huckaba Rome

    Get it from Amazon for $21.95.

    37. An automatic stirrer so your food doesn't burn at the bottom of the pan as you scroll Instagram while cooking dinner. This is truly a lifesaver in a lazy person's kitchen!

    You'll need four AA batteries to get this thing going. It has three speed options — all you do is place it in a pan, turn it on, and it will rotate the food on its own! You can also take off the legs to clean them in the dishwasher.

    Promising review: "Used it today to start a cheese sauce. I love it! I didn’t have to stand over the saucepan stirring or whisking. Lately, I have had some arthritis in some fingers. It’s perfect for us cooks!!!!" —PaulaBotta

    Mane Club is a small business based in California that specializes in vegan and cruelty-free hair products.

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Elizabeth Lilly (pictured above) has to say about this:

    "I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow-drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends."
