    45 Things That Will Make You Feel Just A *Little* Bit More Like A Grown-Up

    All that's standing in your way of feeling like you're an adult is becoming the proud owner of a robot vacuum.

    1. 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!

    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

    2. A rechargeable Shark cordless hard floor vacuum/mop to get your floors clean in record time. Use the vacuum function to suck up big pieces of dirt, hair, and dust, and then you can switch right to spraying and mopping for a sparkling clean result.

    It even has a headlight so you can see what you're doing even in dark corners.

    Promising review: "I live in a house with all hardwood floors/tile and I get sick of sweeping and mopping. I’ve now used this on my whole house and I LOVE it! The suction is awesome, all those little crevices that dirt always stick in comes clean with the suction power. The spray mop is awesome and the cleaner leaves your floor clean and shiny. I quickly vacuum a spot and then go back and mop it. It takes half the time as before. And then throwing away that gross pad at the end is very rewarding. Five stars from me!" —Rebecca R

    Get it from Amazon for $79.99.

    3. A snake plant perfect for gardening novices because it can thrive in low light and doesn't require much watering. The next time your parents start asking when you're going to give them grandchildren, just show them this plant baby instead.

    The live snake plant comes in a sandstone planter.

    Promising review: "I love my new plants! They arrived in perfect condition and the decorative pots made it so easy to just put them out and enjoy them. They look so nice and I love that they are cleaning the air!" —Elaine N.

    Get it from Plants.com for $49.99+ (available in two sizes). 

    4. And a bunch of Miracle-Gro "food spikes" for anyone who just can't manage 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 surviving!

    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

    5. A cool-looking wine-chilling bucket to whip out when you have dinner guests and want to impress them. This thing can keep your bottles cold for about two hours, which means it's as functional as it is pretty.

    It can fit practically any 750-milliliter bottle of wine and should be washed by hand.

    Promising review: "Top marks! This wine/bottle cooler is both an elegant AND practical addition for any occasion where you want cooled wine, champagne, or other beverages close at hand. I used it at Thanksgiving for the first time and my company remarked how nice it looked. I like its 'clean' elegant design and it’s more effective than what I’ve used in the past. I also think it would make a lovely hostess or holiday gift!" —Bev

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in stainless steel or a copper finish). 

    6. And, a wine aerator pourer designed to infuse oxygen into your wine in seconds, which can help make it taste and smell better. No one has to know you only paid $8 for that bottle of wine — it'll taste divine and you'll look like you're a wine expert when you use this!

    Promising review: "Fantastic product! Makes red wine more enjoyable, as the 'smoky' flavors tend to taste soapy to me (I can't be the only one here...). This was gorgeously packaged and came in two pieces to 'assemble,' if you can even call it that. The wine stopper is leak-free and the top keeps it from dripping red wine down the bottle onto your easily stainable white countertops. Wonderful product that I'll easily be gifting to friends." —Melissa

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

    7. 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. It's harder to find something this miracle cleaning paste can't do!

    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.

    8. A Home Chef subscription if you want to cook at home more but don't really have the time or 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!

    Split garbage and recycling bins inside open trash can

    Yes, the price tag is hefty, but it does come with a 10-year warranty.

    Promising review: "Never paid this much for a garbage can but have no regrets. Works perfectly for my household. I live alone and most of my trash gets recycled so I use the larger bin for recycling and the small bin for garbage. Item arrived in perfect condition. Have had for several months now, no issues to date. Love being able to open the lid hands free; soft-close feature is a wonderful bonus." —Grandmalice

    Get it from Amazon for $149.99.

    10. A nonslip, waterproof, washable indoor/outdoor mat so you have somewhere to wipe those dirty feet before you track all that filth into your beautiful home.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "So soft! Love the rug. It’s super soft but has been holding up well being in a high traffic area. My dog has tracked in mud on the rug but I have been able to clean it out easily. Also vacuums easily as well." —Reese

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

    11. A carpet cleaner for tackling the most intense spills and stains you thought there was no coming back from. Using this cleaner is a much more effective solution than placing furniture over the stain and just hoping no one else ever sees it or comments on it.

    Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan

    Get it from Amazon for $12.49.

    12. A four-pack of 100% Turkish linen bath towels because nothing says, "Look! I've got my life together!" than a set of soft, fluffy, absorbent towels that all match!

    A stack of four gray linen bath towels
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I’ve used and washed them several times now, and they are still soft, fluffy and absorbent. I soaked them in cold water for about six hours before washing them the first time. I can’t remember where I saw that suggestion. I think it said something about that helping to maintain the softness, but it also helped to get rid of the chemical smell. I’ve seen a couple of reviews that said the towels left fuzz all over them when they dried off. I have not experienced that at all." —Juli B.

    Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in 11 colors).

    13. A bed sheet detangler that'll prevent your bedsheets from getting bunched up in the washing machine and dryer. They actually make your sheets dry faster with less wrinkles!

    These detanglers from Wad-Free aren't recommended for use with bamboo, eucalyptus, or rayon sheets.

    Wad-Free is a small business that invented this laundry gadget to prevent sheets from tangling, twisting, and balling up during the laundry process.

    Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

    14. A Leatherman multi-tool so you can feel like Bob the Builder whenever a problem pops up around the house. Nobody: Can we fix it? You: *whips out this tool from your pocket* Yes we can!!

    Amazon

    The tool comes with a knife, pliers, screwdrivers, wire cutters, a wire stripper, scissors, a package opener, bottle and can openers, a file and a ruler.

    Promising review: "Great value and quality, I've already bought several as gifts and everyone loves them. I keep on in my car and in my camping gearbox. Anybody familiar with Leatherman knows they make good quality products. The only consideration is the tools on each Leatherman multitool. For the money, this is the best value of all the Leatherman Multis. Cheap enough so that if it gets lost or scratched up you won't cry too much. I like that the knife blade is on the outside so that you do not have to unfold the thing to deploy it. The fit and finish just shines quality. There are cheaper multis out there and I've tried them all, in the end, I keep coming back to Leatherman." —Avg. Joe

    Get it from Amazon for $69.95.

    15. A bottle of dermatologist-tested, mineral-based sunscreen from Think because no matter how old you get, you'll always have your parents' voice in the back of your mind saying, "Make sure to put sunscreen on!" whenever it's sunny out.

    Promising review: "My favorite sunblock! My skin is fair and crazy sensitive. The sunblocks from this company don't bother my skin at all. I especially love that they don't have shea butter in them, cuz I'm sensitive to that too... I'm an avid cyclist, so I'm outdoors A LOT especially in the summer. I use it on my face without any stinging and it doesn't sweat into my eyes. The fragrance is incredibly light and fresh, which wins huge points when so many products tend to be overly fragranced and perfumey. The only negative I have is that it does leave a pronounced whiteness on the skin, but any good mineral sunblock will. That's just the way it is. Overall, I'm head over heels in love with this sunblock — I feel like I buy it by the case!" —Chrissy From SoCal

    Get a 3-oz. bottle from Think for $14.99 (get 20% off your order with our exclusive code BUZZFEED20) or from Amazon for $14.48+ (available in two sizes).

    16. A pack of 30 multi-colored, PVC-coated, steel-wire utility clips so you can always have a clip handy whenever you open up a fresh bag of chips. They're so simple, but having a whole bunch of these subtly implies, "Yes, I do have my life together."

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in six different color sets).

    17. An electric toothbrush from Burst with a motor so powerful, it can remove up to 10 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush. It also has a timer to tell you when to move to another section of your mouth to make sure you're getting a thorough clean.

    Promising review: "I love my new Burst sonic toothbrush!!! I’ve had it for three weeks and my teeth have never felt so clean!!!

It’s so easy and enjoyable!" —Terry

    Wayfair

    You can also fold your clothes on the top rack!

    Promising review: "I love this. It makes doing the laundry so much easier because I can divide everything and it has the table so I can fold on top of it. I have another one from another store and when you put too many clothes in it, the bags fall out. This one is super sturdy." —Alyson

    Get it from Wayfair for $59.99 (originally $102.99).

    20. A hard-boiled egg timer so you don't have to guesstimate whenever you place your egg in boiling water. Just take a peep at the timer, and you'll be able to see exactly how cooked your egg is.

    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. Cant wait to give some as gifts!" —BaileyBoo

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98.

    21. A Brother P-Touch label maker because it's so fun to go on an organizing mission and place a label on everything. It comes with multiple fonts and 27 templates so you can customize the labels to fit your ~aesthetic~.

    Promising review: "It’s great! Did everything I wanted it to do and more. For the other reviewers who are complaining it wastes tape obviously didn’t read the directions. To fix the 'problem' they are having you just have to change the margins, which are full, half, or narrow. I attached a picture with the difference between full margins and narrow. It’s all pretty simple and I can’t wait to label everything!" —SaRee Voth

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    22. 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).

    23. A plastic storage bag organizer — now you can easily grab whatever size you need while packing lunches or storing leftovers from dinner. Gone are the days of fumbling with those bulky cardboard containers they usually come in!

    This is also great at easily opening up those pesky plastic packages many of your purchases come in.

    Promising review: "This is a must around the house! We have one on each level of the house and it is used everywhere! This is the perfect stocking stuffer gift and we have given 20 or so of these — someone always asks where we got them! The slice-it blade works for zipping through packaging and the button-extended blade is sharp but small. Also excellent for opening taped boxes, cutting the ribbon on gifts, cutting foam board, cardboard, or chipboard." —T. C.

    Get it from Amazon for $12.77.

    25. A three-compartment lid organizer to avoid that avalanche of loose lids every time you open your cabinets. It'll be so nice to finally get some organization while also being able to find the correct lid with ease!

    Promising review: "This organizer is simple but pure genius. I immediately cleared out my drawer and popped this little lid organizer in the drawer. I was able to fit all my lids in it! YAY! Even better, I was able to fit all the container parts that went with the lids in the same drawer. Now that it's organized, it's so much easier and quicker to find a container and its matching lid. And looks SO MUCH BETTER... Thank you!" —Robinotl

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

    26. A washable sponge if you're sick and tired of getting grossed out by your sponge that always smells like last night's dinner. Whenever this sponge starts to get a little funky, simply throw it in the washing machine or dishwasher, and then it'll be good as new!

    Make sure to air-dry this, and if you're washing it in the dishwasher, don't place it near knives as they can puncture the sponge.

    Marley's Monsters is an eco-friendly small business in Eugene, Oregon. Owner Sarah Dooley has products ranging from reusable "paper" towels to coffee filters to bowl covers, as well as bath and baby products.

    Promising review: "I LOVE this sponge. I love that it's reusable and it does a better job of cleaning pots and pans than a disposable sponge." —Kristina Babinski

    Get it from Marley's Monsters on Etsy for $12+ (available in four colors).

    27. A Hoover Smartwash carpet cleaner built to pick up debris *and* give your carpet a thorough washing at the same time. There's no need to call a professional to deep clean your carpets when you have this powerful machine.

    Reviewer's picture of their rug with one half treated, and one half still dirty. The treated half is significantly cleaner.
    Reviewer's picture of the vacuum filled with hair, dirt, and water after vacuuming

    It cleans your carpet *as* you vacuum like you would regularly — push to wash and pull back to dry. It comes with a two-in-one pet tool, sample bottle of cleaning solution, an eight-foot hose, and an accessory storage bag.

    Promising review: "You know you are an adult when you get a vacuum in the mail and get super excited about it haha. We aren't rolling in the dough by any means so spending this much money on a carpet cleaner when we already had a good vacuum cleaner seemed a little silly, but after using it we would say it was worth it! We only have carpet upstairs but this is a house that we live in; it isn't spotless. We have a dog and potty training took her a little while to figure out and I am super clumsy (I spill something daily). So having something on hand to spot clean is really handy for us. I love having a clean space to come home to and to host people at. I am super grateful that this carpet cleaner has an auto dry feature and has a dry-only button. I was a little generous with the cleaner side of it so I was happy to have a way to fix my overzealousness. The carpet cleaning side of it was pretty user-friendly; the stair cleaning however took me a hot minute to figure out. Once I figured it out it was great and I was tickled that it had a stair attachment option. I feel confident that my carpets are clean; however, I feel like the cleanliness of the carpet on the stairs is only meh. Stairs are just awkward to clean though, I don't think it was so much the product and the provided tools. All in all, this is a great product and it is a heck of a lot cheaper than to hire someone to come and clean it — at least that's true for our neck of the woods." —Brittany

    Get it from Amazon for $220.85.

    28. A pre-filled grocery list that will help you head to the store with a game plan instead of wandering through the aisles grabbing everything that looks good. You can stick this on your refrigerator so you can keep track of everything you need throughout the week.

    Promising review: "This is a wonderful grocery list.

You can even put the list on the fridge because there are magnets on the back. Very handy. :)" —Lydia

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    29. A dishwasher magnet so you can finally stop screaming out "IS THE DISHWASHER CLEAN OR DIRTY?!" every time you have a dirty spoon. This is a much more civilized way to get your answer!

    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

    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

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.94.

    31. An air purifier to remove all of the dust, mold, pet hair, and any other microscopic nastiness that's floating through the air and making you sneeze. It's especially helpful if adulthood for you means working from home and breathing in the same air all day long — might as well make sure that air's as healthy as possible!

    Reviewers say it's helped with their indoor allergy symptoms tremendously!

    Promising review: "I have gone through a lot of air purifiers, even $400 ones, to help with my allergies from my dog and general seasonal allergies. I purchased my first LEVOIT Air Purifier through another company and I loved it so much I wanted another. The product works great and seems to have helped my allergies at night in my bedroom from my dog and more recently the pollen from the open windows. You can get all the replacement filters on Amazon as well at a great price. It has a nightlight feature that you can turn off and I love that this version (my first white one I bought didn't have this) has silent buttons! There is no BEEP when turning the power on or off. The highest setting is a little loud, but I love having background noise when sleeping so it is perfect for me. They are definitely worth the money in my opinion and work better than more expensive ones I have purchased in the past. I now own three of these for every bedroom in the house!" —TheLeveques

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in two colors) and get a replacement filter for $29.62.

    32. A blender from Nutribullet for whipping up tasty smoothies in a matter of seconds.

    Promising review: "This NutriBullet blender is the truth. Chops any solid veggie or fruit to a liquid. Ensure you add some form of juice or fruit liquid to it because it eases the blending process. The smaller 'to-go' cups make it easy to bring a smoothie for breakfast or lunch or post-workout shake at the gym. I love this blender and definitely believe it was worth the investment. :-)" —Amazon Customer

    33. A light-up alarm clock to simulate the sun rising to gently wake you up in the morning. It's a lifesaver for early risers who sleep in a really dark room and struggle to get out of bed.

    It can also simulate the sun setting at night to help with your natural sleep cycle!

    Promising review: "This light is amazing! I was hoping this would work but unsure if it would, and worried that I would wake up the second the light turned on. I also felt silly for spending so much money on an alarm clock, but it is such a game-changer! The sunset mode is my favorite thing ever. Normally I have a really hard time taking sleep, but with this thing I almost always fall asleep by the time the light fades of, and I love that you can adjust how long the sunset lasts depending on how fast you want to fall asleep. I haven't had to take any melatonin since I started using it. The sunrise function is also nice. It is so gradual and wakes you up so slowly that I didn't even think it worked at first, because I felt like I naturally woke up, except I now wake up 'naturally' almost an hour earlier than my body was waking up before I started using this, and I sleep in way more when I don't use it. It starts out with such a dark red light that you barely notice it when you are awake, let alone when you are asleep. It's super easy to use and set up. I haven't really tried the radio function yet but everything else works great. Would 100% recommend this product; it is worth the price." —Koby McInnis

    34. An ice maker that sits on top of your countertop and makes gloriously perfect cubes as you go about your day. Leave those flimsy ice cube trays in your past because this is the ~cool~ upgrade you've been looking for.

    The ice machine
    Reviewer's picture of the ice machine filled with nugget-shaped ice

    The maker can hold up to 70–80 cubes of ice, and it will alert you if it needs water, if ice is ready, or if it needs cleaning.

    Promising review: "We desperately needed a way to have more ice at our summer home, and this was the best purchase we’ve made to fix this! So easy to use and continually makes ice all day like we want it. We put the ice into the freezer as it continues to make it, so we never run out! So much better than constantly making trips to the gas station and spending money on bags of ice! So worth the purchase!" —Jackie

    35. 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 side. All that gunk disappears when you flush!

    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).

    36. 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

    37. A candle from Gilded Body encased in white marble that will easily blend into whatever home decor you currently have. It's an unspoken rule that owning a nice candle means you can pretend you're a fancy adult, even if you still make microwave dinners every night.

    Gilded Body is a Black-owned, woman-owned small business specializing in dermatologically designed skincare and handmade candles.

    Promising review: "This candle was a great purchase! My favorite is the Eavestone scent, reminds me of a well-groomed male haha! You can smell the scent coming off of the box on purchasing this item. Once you open the box the scent travels through the room. Definitely worth the money!" —CiCi

    Get it from Gilded Body for $88 (available in seven scents).

    38. A Waterpik water flosser because we all know we should be flossing every day, but who actually wants to? This almost turns flossing into a game – you'll be amazed at how many food particles you'll blast off using this thing!

    The Waterpik
    Reviewer showing their clean, white smile after using the Waterpik

    This multipurpose device includes different tips: three classic heads, one orthodontic, one plaque seeker for implants and other dental work, one Pik Pocket for periodontal pockets, and one toothbrush tip to manually brush as you water floss.

    Promising review: "Extremely quiet and well worth the money. I've been having problems with my gums bleeding and my teeth are too crowded and tight to comfortably floss, so I decided to go with a water jet plaque cleaning system. I decided on this one because it looks sleek (I got it in black), had good reviews and had all the accessories... so I took a shot. The last time I used one of these things I remember it sounding like a noisy air compressor, but this one is really a low ambient rumble at best. The slide switch on the handle takes almost zero effort to operate (this is a more important thing than you might realize, as you use this feature a few times during each of your cleanings). I don't know how this stacks up against the cheaper models, but I can tell you that this water jet system is good stuff. I use warm water and mouth wash in the hopper and after only a few days my gums are not bleeding anymore. My mouth feels similar to how it does after I leave the dental hygienist after every use ... love it. If you get this one I recommend using the toothbrush attachment because it massages the gums as it passes and controls the water splatter so is therefore less messy." —CAM

    39. Some under-bed storage containers — a responsible adult would take advantage of every inch of storage space in their room, and that's what these accomplish! Thanks to the clear top, you'll be able to see everything you store in them, and you can easily access the container by pulling on the sturdy handle on the outside.

    These are also great for storing extra bedding, accessories, shoes, or basically anything you want to store away.

    Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn

    Promising review: "These things are amazing. I have very long hair that seems to shed ALL the time, no matter what. I started using these when I lived in an apartment so I wouldn’t have to call maintenance once a month to clear my tub clog... They’re SO great. They’re pretty disgusting to change out, but I put on some rubber gloves and hold my breath and it’s easy! It’s incredible how much it catches and it saves me from having to call a plumber all the time since I no longer rent! Highly recommend. Oh, and they’re super cute to see in the shower." —MrsV

    It includes basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil, and mint seeds, along with a bottle of all natural plant nutrients.

    Check out BuzzFeed Shopping writer Yi Yang's AeroGarden review for more info!

    Promising review: "I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend's sister-in-law who lamented not having a green thumb. I was somewhat apprehensive, having read a few reviews that mentioned pods not spouting. However, in the two months that the sis-in-law has had the AeroGarden, the growth has been tremendous. I'm constantly in awe when she sends me pics of the new growth. Only one pod failed to sprout, but she reached out to customer service, and they are sending a replacement for that particular pod. All the others have grown quite large, and last night I received a picture of their dinner using herbs grown with the AeroGarden. Impressive!" —Mary A. Walls

    43. A set of Oxo food storage containers with an airtight seal to keep your food fresher for longer. Because the containers are clear, you'll be able to see exactly how much of each ingredient you have left.

    Push down the button on the top to activate the airtight seal. To open, just push down again for the button to pop up. The lid also comes apart for easier cleaning.

    Promising review: "Love the Oxo pop-top canisters! They seal well and open easily with a press to the pop-top. I have arthritis in my hands and these are fabulous and so easy to open, yet so secure when the lid is popped close. Also has a useful knob on the bottom of the lid so you can stick an OXO scoop inside the container to the lid rather than down in whatever you are storing in the container." —Lori A. Fregin

    Get a 10-piece set from Amazon for $104.95 (six other set sizes available).

    Promising review: "So glad that I came across these. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy having them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" —Small~Town~Girl
