1. A stove gap cover to prevent crumbs or spills from collecting in that annoying spot between your stove and your counter. Messy cooks, this one's made for you.
The gap covers are dishwasher safe and can also be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. You can also cut the gap covers to perfectly fit the measurements of your kitchen.
Promising review: "I didn’t realize how nasty it was under my stove until we pulled it out to fix it. There were things under there I knew I hadn’t cooked in years. These little rubber flaps help and are easy to wipe down. They just fit right in between the stove and the counter. I worried they’d be noticeable, but once I got used to them they just fit with the stove. I hardly notice they are there!" —Scarlett

2. A nasal dilator that gently opens up your nose so you can actually breathe at night, which will help you snore less and sleep better. Is your bedmate actually the one who sounds like a freight train at night? Buy them this as a gift to them and you.
You insert the discreet device into your nose so that it gently opens up each of your nostrils. It's so comfortable, you'll barely even notice you're wearing it! Each dilator is meant to be used for 10 nightly uses.
Promising review: "First, I’ll say it took a bit to get it positioned right for me. I have a deviated septum, and one side is bigger than the other inside. Once I did get it fit properly, I needed to adjust from looking a bit odd. It opens your nostrils up so you get a bit of a pig look to your nose, haha. BUT looks aside (it’s dark, who cares), this thing works! I was sleeping with my hand against my cheek, pulling my nose open each night. It was taking me forever to fall asleep as well. For the first time in two weeks, I stayed asleep (allergies have been terrible here) and woke up refreshed instead of tired or worn out. So do these work? Yes, yes they do!" —Packratt
Get a set of three from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in a medium and large size).
3. A fruit fly trapper so you can stop spending half of your day trying to track down and kill those pesky little insects that are living rent-free in your house.
Each trap lasts up to 45 days. Just place the traps where you've spotted fruit flies before and empty half of the lure bottle into the trap.
Promising review: "Our home was infested with fruit flies. As a household of minimal fresh produce and a mostly nitrate rich menu, we were confused and horrified when these tiny, evil bastards took over our house. These apple traps are LEGIT. Within an hour or less they had captured a good amount of flies. I just bought more." —MotherofChaos
Get two traps from Amazon for $5.88.
4. The BlendJet — a wireless portable blender small enough to keep in your tote bag for on-the-go blending but powerful enough that you can whip up a great-tasting smoothie in just 20 seconds. Sick of breaking out your bulky, hard-to-clean blender each morning? This is the perfect size for a single smoothie (you could even sip it right out of the device!), and it even has a cleaning function — just fill the container with water and a drop of soap, hit the blend button, and it's good as new!
You can also use this as a food processor to make things like sauces, salsas, or dressings — just double press the blend button to pulse your ingredients instead of blending them!
Promising review: "Purchasing the BlendJet has made my morning ritual easier! No more having to assemble my bulky blender to make my daily protein drink. With the BlendJet, I now spend less time preparing my protein drink and more time starting my work day. Often times, I take it with me, instead of having to wash containers before leaving for work. So convenient. I highly recommend this BlendJet to those of us who appreciate a little free time in the morning!" —Sandra L.
Get it from BlendJet for $49.95+ (available in 27 colors).
5. A set of cable clips so you no longer have to go on a search-and-rescue mission every time your phone charger cord disappears behind your bed.
Promising review: "I love these cable clips and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an easy way to organize cables! It sounds cheesy but they have made my life so much easier. I have one attached to the back of my bedside table in my bedroom and two on my desk at work. It makes my desk look neat and organized and is also extremely functional. I don’t have to worry about cords getting in the way or putting something like a coaster on top of them to keep them from falling behind furniture anymore. The price point is incredibly cheap for such a quality product and the amount that you get! I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy more if I found more places in my home or office that I could use them!" —Kayla Carroll
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $6.96.
6. A pair of finger chopsticks — now you can still eat your midday snack of Hot Cheetos at your desk without getting that bright red dust all over your fingers. This is one of those "Why didn't I think of that?!" gadgets!
Promising review: "How have I lived without these? Chips and salsa, popcorn, and really anything you don't want to pick up with your bare hands. A dead fly in the windowsill. We designated the black one as the non-food picker upper. These are great for sampling buffet food when friends and family gather. Just don't use the black one." —Mrs. Harris
Get them from Amazon for $9.30 (available in five color sets).
7. A nail file board for the dog who refuses to get their nails trimmed the traditional way. This is basically one giant emery board that will keep your dog's nails at a normal, healthy length. Plus: If your dog likes to scratch at your furniture, they can go wild on this instead of your couch!
ScratchPad for Dogs is the Atlanta-based small business that created this genius pet product.
Promising review: "Love this scratch pad! We adopted our dog almost a year ago, and he's been terrified of clippers and grinders since day one. We've never been able to maintain his nails due to his super-reactive anxiety around nail care. That's all changed since we got the ScratchPad a few weeks ago! He took to it right away, and his nails have shown significant improvement in just a few sessions!" —Kira Armajani
Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $44.95+ (available in two styles and three grit levels).
8. A jar opener if it always takes the effort of your whole family just to open up a dang jar of salsa! It attaches to the bottom of your cabinets so it won't crowd up your counters or kitchen drawers. You're going to wish you invented this genius contraption!
Promising review: "I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help in opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters. There was one person who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the 'V' closest to you and with it placed in the front, in the right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions and it works perfectly and easily. I have already placed an order for another one for a gift or my sister." —cat lover
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

9. A Drop Stop car seat gap filler so you won't keep losing your phone or coins in that pesky little gap between your car seat and the center console.
Promising review: "I can’t begin to tell you the amount of tears and sweat I have shed from dropping things between my car seats and trying to dig them out. I was so relieved to find this product! The Drop Stop was super easy to install in my car. Once installed I tested it by tossing keys, my phone and even coins onto it and the Drop Stop caught them all. No more pulling my car apart just to fish out my phone from between the seats! I also like that it’s black and blends in with the interior of my car. Not that it would be an eyesore if I had a tan interior, but I like things that match!" —Elizabeth
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
10. A Bacon Sponge that soaks up grease and oil way better than paper towels can. In fact, the 100% organic cotton towel can absorb 10 TIMES its weight in liquid!
To clean the towel, soak in hot water and a degreaser soap for 15 to 20 minutes.
GreenCityLiving is a small business based in Denver that specializes in reusable and eco-friendly home goods. They donate 2.5% of sales to Climate Emergency Fund, an organization that supports climate activists.
Promising review: "This is great. I don’t like using loads of paper towels in draining meat, but I didn’t know what else to use. The bacon sponge is absorbent and easy to clean. It performs as advertised and makes me feel better about eliminating another source of waste." —PamelaRenee
Get it from Amazon for $13.50.
11. A pack of moldable glue to protect your charging cables against fraying. You can also use it to repair broken items around the house, mount something on the wall, or seal up a hole in the sole of your shoe.
Promising review: "So I had a power adapter cable that while working had seen better days and was starting to fray. As the machine is coming up on nine years of use, investing in a new power adapter wasn't really high on my list of investments. So I figured I'd give this a try. I rolled and smoothed it out and let it settle for 24 hours as recommended. Well the cable has amazing reinforcement and is now strong like a bull. Now I just need to find more things to use the other packs on! 10/10 would buy again." —Chris Burke
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $8.79 (available in six color combinations).
12. A tiny cleaning ball designed with a sticky inner sphere that will pick up all those loose crumbs that somehow always appear at the bottom of your purse.
Once it loses its stickiness, just wash it off with water, and it'll be good to go again!
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in pink and black).
13. A bedsheet detangler that'll prevent your bedsheets from getting bunched up in the washing machine and dryer. They actually make your sheets dry faster with fewer 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: "I don’t know what kind of magic makes these things work, and I don’t care as long as it keeps my sheets from tangling up in the washer and dryer. This saves me so much time in the laundry room. I have king-sized sheets that always end up in a twisted cocoon of wetness in both my front-load washer and my dryer. Before I always had to stop the dryer and untangle everything — now I just toss them in with no worries. I admit when I first purchased it I expected it wouldn’t work, but was willing to try if there was a slim chance it might. After washing and drying three separate loads of sheets with Wad-Free I purchased two more sets of Wad-Free for my parents. Friends and family are definitely getting this for the holidays come December." —ZombieQT
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
14. A bottle of stain-and-odor eliminator you should always have on hand in case your pet leaves a little ~present~ for you on your carpet or favorite rug. No more stressing that the stain (and smell) won't go away.
The spray is chlorine-free, color-safe, and safe to use around children and pets. You can use it on carpets, floors, furniture, clothing, litter boxes, kennels — literally anywhere your pet has an accident!
Promising review: "We have three large dogs, and our house is constantly either full of fur, dog toys, mysterious puddles, vomit from yesterday's trash excavation, or your bi-monthly bout of explosive diarrhea. If you're hesitant on the price, which I was at first, your desperation to remove your carpet of brown and yellow spots will be rewarded by giving this a try. When I tell you this stuff is MAGIC IN A BOTTLE, I'm not exaggerating. Vomit, urine, diarrhea, butt juice. I know what you're thinking...'What the hell kinda dogs do they own?!' R & R got all of it out of the carpet. I'll say it again...MAGIC IN A BOTTLE. $20 for magic? Do it. We will never buy another product again for as long as we both shall live. Or at least as long as we have carpet." —Benjamin Poon
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
15. 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.
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 of three from Amazon for $23.95.
16. A bottle-emptying kit designed to help you get every last drop of your favorite condiments or bath products. No more banging the bottle against your hand to no success — instead, insert one of the attachments to the bottle top, flip it over, and be amazed at how you can get up to 20% more product out!
The kit comes with six adapters (to make them fit a variety of bottleneck sizes) and six of the purple dispensing stands.
Promising review: "This is such a great tool for using up every last bit of product and reducing waste. We used this on a bottle of lotion that we thought was empty but got nearly six more months out of it when we put this on, we were shocked. I use this for my shampoo and anything else that I can think of." —Felishia Rae
Get the kit on Amazon for $25.
17. A pair of eyeliner stamps for the mornings you just CANNOT get your winged liner right even after multiple attempts. This will save you from so much frustration during your makeup routine!
These come with two (one for each eye)!
Promising review: "This product is amazing. Seriously. Not only does it make PERFECT wings, but I have pretty small eyes that squinch up when I smile, laugh, etc., which is super annoying because my eyeliner is always smudged. These pens though — not a sign of smudging at all. Buy it." —Tara Doyle Robinson
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes).
18. A multi-purpose cleaner if it usually takes you half your evening to scrape off burnt food and grease left behind on your glass stovetop. This will leave it looking shinier than ever — minimal elbow grease required.
Promising review: "I was using another cooktop cleaner and decided to try this one. What a huge difference!! I have a white glass top stove and it is a lot of work to keep it clean. I always had to scrub and most times use a razor blade to clean it. This was half the effort!!! And I like the smell also. It's always great when you find a product that makes your life easier." —LindaPBFL
Get it from Amazon for $9.
19. A pack of DressWeights if you know it's going to be super windy outside and you don't want to experience a Marilyn Monroe moment. Now you walk confidently without the fear that a strong gust will reveal everything.
Dress Strong is a New York City-based small business. Christina, the owner, came up with the idea in 2012 so we never have to experience an embarrassing flashing moment.
Each adhesive should last about six uses with proper care.
Promising review: "What an amazing invention! I had my bridesmaids use these for my destination wedding. I got married outside by a very windy gazebo and they worked like a charm. Highly recommend!" —kimberlyo143
Get four weights from Dress Strong on Etsy for $15.
20. A turntable so even that bottle of mustard way at the back of the shelf can be easily reached with just a quick spin. No more emptying out the entire cabinet for one item anymore!
The nonskid surface of the turntable keeps everything in place as you spin it.
Promising review: "This corner cabinet went from barely accessible and crammed to tidy, accessible, and more spacious! It was so hard to get to anything in this cabinet without knocking a million things over and I knew there had to be a better solution. This lazy susan was the perfect fix and the price is so cheap considering how smooth its spin is. I was a little worried that it would help me access a handful of things, but ultimately take up so much space that less fit in the cabinet in general. Not the case! By moving the lazy Susan to one side, I can easily access everything on it as well as store things on the other side. Now I'm trying to figure out all the cabinets in our home I can add one of these to." —Sayre Alexandra
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 14 colors).
21. A pack of oven liners that protects the bottom of your oven from those awful drips and spills that happen when you're cooking up a casserole. Much easier to clean this than your entire oven!
Promising review: "I have often lined my oven with a custom fit pan, or with simple aluminum foil, but after cleaning my oven recently, I decided I needed something a bit more hearty than my standard silver colored sheet liner. I ordered these before Thanksgiving and put them to the test the day before and the day of. My oven was on at least 350 degrees for 12 hours one day and 6 hours the next. The mat held up perfectly. No wrinkling or buckling due to the heat, no melting, and thanks to liner, my sweet potato casserole with the butter and pecan and marshmallow topping that bubbled up left no mess in my oven. Once the oven cooled, the crisp baked mess brushed right off and the mat went right back into the oven!" –Pepperite
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.99.
22. A password journal if you're constantly hitting the "Forgot My Password" button every time you have to log onto a site.
This is also set in alphabetical order so you don't have to rack your brain to try to remember your Netflix password.
Promising review: "This was exactly what I wanted. The book has a heavy plastic cover and heavy-duty wire binding. The paper is good quality, although my favorite gel pens did have some bleed-through. I'd recommend ballpoint or pencil. The entries have wide spaces, with room for website, email, username, password, and notes (which is perfect for noting the answers to those security questions... What's your favorite ice cream flavor? I don't remember what I answered a year ago!). The password section has a good number of extra lines, for those sites that make you change your password with annoying frequency." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four sizes).
23. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense that stops chafing caused by sweat in its tracks. Now you can stop worrying about developing that dreaded inner thigh pain whenever you wear shorts or a dress and instead get back to living your life.
I've used it for about 12 years now and it's the only thing that I can trust to prevent that dreaded chafing after a sweaty day of walking around. It glides on perfectly, it's unscented, and it doesn't melt away when you start to sweat. If it's a particularly hot day out, it can start to fade after a few hours, so just make sure to bring it with you to reapply. In addition to preventing chafing between my thighs, I've also applied it on my arms where my sports bra rubs against them when I run and it works like a charm!
Promising review: "I just used it for five days in 90 degree plus weather at Bonnaroo music festival in the middle of Tennessee on a farm in June with 100,000 people walking several miles, dancing, and sweating every day. I am happy to report that this product is a lifesaver. My thighs didn't chafe once, and I have big ones! I had to reapply once during the day. I strongly recommend buying this if you have large thighs and need relief from chafing. I couldn't wear dresses or skirts in the heat if I was walking anywhere, and now I live in them because of this stuff! Buy it! It works!" —Carwizzle
Get it from Amazon for $5.23.
24. A handy device so you don't have to constantly ask your housemates if anyone's fed Fido yet today. You don't want your four-legged friend going hungry (or getting a tummy ache from too much food!)
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who 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 to 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 in five other versions, including one for cats).
25. A pair of no-drip cleansing cuffs that absorb all the water and soap when you're washing your face before it rolls down your arms and gets your shirt wet. Honestly, where has this been my whole life?!
LA Beautyologist is a Black- and woman-owned small business from esthetician Nai Roberts-Smith. She also owns her own studio — The Golden Rx Skin Studio — in LA, where she offers skincare and body treatments.
Get a pair from LA Beautyologist for $23 (available in five colors).
26. A packet of pimple patches to extract all the gunk that sits right under the skin whenever you have a whitehead. Just place one of these on your breakout instead of picking at your skin and making it worse!
These work best if you put them on before going to bed and leave them on all night.
Promising review: "Wow, I did not expect this to work. I got it yesterday and right out of the package, it resembled stickers. It was easy to take off and apply on clean skin. I suffer from back acne so those are hard to remove and they scar like no other. I wanted something to remove the pus and won’t bleach my clothes. This worked like a charm and fast. I put it on yesterday night before bed. It stayed on all night even with me rolling from side to side at times. After peeling it I saw the gross puss on the patches. Gross!!! The redness was still there but the pimple feels and looks flat so I’m happy. Hopefully when the redness reduces I won’t see any scarring." —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of 40 patches from Amazon for $8.49.
27. A clip-on sleeve made for anyone who is constantly losing their lip balm in the abyss that is their bag. Just attach this to an outside zipper or your key ring for easy access.
You'll receive five of these, so you can attach a lip balm to your gym bag, work bag, anywhere you think you'll need it!
Promising review: "Lifesaver. Hooks into work badge. Just yesterday, I actually used the entire lip balm before losing or washing it, lol. (First time ever)." —Mary
Get a five pack from Amazon for $8.29+ (available in 11 color combos).
28. A hanger stacker because no one should spend their precious time trying to untangle a huge pile of plastic hangers. Now, every time you need to hang up a piece of clothing, just grab and go!
Promising review: "This product is great and does exactly as advertised! Easy assembly - only need four screws (included with package). Was able to fit 41 velvet hangers and 60 plastic, totaling 101 hangers. I alternated which way the hangers were facing up until the handle splits into two. I then placed our hangers facing each way, resting against the handle. This significantly increases the amount of hangers you can carry on this device! The added weight does not appear to impair the functionality of the product at all. This will be perfect when moving out of my apartment into a home." —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).
29. A set of bag handles for carrying all of your shopping bags from your car to your kitchen in just one trip. The handles distribute the weight evenly across your hands so your poor little pinky fingers won't feel like they're about to snap off.
Promising review: "It usually takes me a dozen trips from my car to my house to get my groceries inside, and if I carry too many at once, the handles cut off the circulation in my hands and arms. These special handles solved all my problems. Today, I only made three trips from the car to the house! When I had to put the bags down to open the door, these handles laid on top of the bags and I only had to grab them, instead of searching for all the bag handles as they flopped around. Now there are no more bag marks on my wrist and my hands don't go numb! Who would have thought that something so simple could make my life so much better?" —Rosemary Smith Dattler
Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.95.
30. An automatic shutoff safety outlet so you can stop worrying all day about whether you turned your curling iron off. The peace of mind this smart device will give you is truly priceless.
You can set it to shut off after one, two, four, or eight hours.
Promising review: "I have a really bad habit of forgetting to unplug my hair straightener, but this little guy saves the day! I can now keep it plugged in and set this for one hour, which is plenty of time for the straightener to heat up and for me to straighten my hair. It's saved me a lot of stress." —Tori Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $19.79.
31. A garment steamer, because pulling out your clunky ironing board every time you have a wrinkly shirt is such a drag. Instead, just fill this steamer with water and let it heat up a bit, and you'll have smooth, wrinkle-free clothes in under five minutes.
Promising review: "All I can say is WOW! I have never written a review right after buying a product but even while using this steamer, I was already thinking of making one! I really like this steamer because it was so easy to use and very handy. It also heats up pretty fast and does a really good job at removing the wrinkles from my clothes. I have not used this for travel but it will definitely be part of my packing list when I go out of town." —Juju1028
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
32. An adjustable cap with a magnetic closure so you don't have to readjust your ponytail or bun to fit in that tiny hole at the bottom of most caps. Now you can rock that high pony and still keep the sun out of your face on your next neighborhood walk.
Ponyback is a small biz from Stacey Keller. When she couldn't find a hat that worked well with all hairstyles, she set out to make her own.
Promising review: "I can't believe how perfect this hat is — I wear my long, curly hair up 90% of the time, and this works for ponytails, messy buns, braids, or any combo. It's SO comfy I don't even realize I am wearing it until my kids say to me, 'No hats at the table,' haha. This hat will be my summer lifesaver." —Nancy K.
Get it from Ponyback for $49 (available in five sizes and nine colors).
33. A toilet night-light that's motion-activated so it turns on the second you stumble into the bathroom bleary-eyed. Now you don't even have to turn on your bathroom light and practically blind yourself in the middle of the night!
This LED toilet light has 16 colors that can work on a rotation or as a solid color.
Promising review: "This seemingly silly little gadget has turned out to be great! The light level (brightness) can be dimmed down if desired, and the color can be set to whatever you want, but the bottom line is that you don't need to turn on a bright overhead light (which wakes me up and makes me angry, not a good combination) when you need to go into the bathroom at night. Cleaning it is a breeze, too; what seems like it's going to be a problem...isn't. I can't recommend this toilet night light highly enough, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Could be on the gift list this December." —Wandergurrlee
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
34. A rubber squeegee brush capable of lifting up so much pet hair you didn't even know was trapped within your carpet. Seriously, run this brush over your carpet, and watch in amazement at the huge fur balls that your vacuum has been missing.
Reviewers suggest using short, quick strokes over your carpet or rug to get the most pet hair out. This broom also works great for collecting pet hair on hardwood floors as the rubber bristles work like a magnet to gather all the hair in one big clump.
Promising review: "Didn’t expect much, just bought this on a whim because on of those 'Things from Amazon that actually work' articles you see on social media. Well, I can say that it actually worked perfectly! I thought my carpet was clean because I have a full-size 'pet' vacuum, but I can tell that this broom is the only thing able to get deep enough and pull all that hair and dirt out of the fibers. Even works better on my tile floors than a regular broom. It doesn’t kick up dust particles or leave them behind. Also, I feel you can use this instead of your mop since it also has a squeegee and can be cleaned just by rinsing it. So you get a twofer with this." —Nelio
Get it from Amazon for $12.44.
35. A moisture meter so you never have to wonder if you're watering your plants too much (or not enough!). It's especially helpful if you have a ton of plants that require different watering schedules.
Promising review: "This item is great. I can check how wet my plants are down where the roots are. So no more overwatering! It is very accurate. This works great!!" —Terri Carlson
Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (available in black or green).
36. Or these plant food spikes for anyone who loves the idea of having lots of houseplants but can't actually manage to keep anything green alive. This fertilizer is formulated specifically for indoor plants, and one spike lasts up to two months!
They're especially great for ficus, snake plants, croton, spider plants, or pothos plants!
Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violet plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth
Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $2.79.
37. A wooden stove top cover if you're constantly moving things around on your kitchen counters just to carve out some space to chop your veggies. This is a lifesaver in small kitchens!
You can also get it personalized with your family's last name or initials.
Suburban Farmhouse is a small business based in New Jersey creating personalized home decor.
Promising review: "I'm in LOVE! 😍😍😍 This piece EXCEEDED my expectations!!! It is absolutely beautiful, and it goes so well with my kitchen! It's functional and gives us extra space. Thank you!" —Lakesha Golden
Get it from Suburban Farmhouse on Etsy for $104.95+ (available in six stain colors and eight styles).
38. A fabric defuzzer that will leave your couch looking good as new. Just run it over the part of the furniture that's covered in fuzzies and all those loose strings and pills will just disappear!
Promising review: "OK, I don’t normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I’m depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Jensen

39. A bottle of hard water booster powder so you can finally blast away all that ugly residue hard water leaves behind. You'll be impressed with how much your dishes will sparkle when you take them out of the dishwasher!
Promising review: "This seems to work really well in our dishwasher. The dishwasher was starting to leave a white film on everything and smell bad. I started using this along with the maximum or ultimate (I can't remember which right now, and I'm too lazy to go check) all-in-one Finish detergent pods, and it's been working great and getting the dishes clean. Also, we have well water." —Carole

40. A six-port outlet that swivels, which means you can now actually use that outlet that's placed in a super inconvenient place right behind your bed or your couch. You can charge your phone, your laptop, plug in a lamp, and STILL have ports to spare!
This even has two USB ports. Hallelujah!
Promising review: "I’ve owned lots of outlet extenders over the years but this is among the best. This is high quality, well designed, and works as expected. Having the USB outlets on the top is a nice touch that we find useful. It is important to note that this does not stick out as much as others, which was an important consideration. I’ve purchased more than one of these and need to get another — they’re so useful, we want them on more outlets. I highly recommend." —RussFoo
Get it from Amazon for $18.93.
41. A sock organizer to clip all your socks onto *before* throwing them into the washing machine so you can actually find each sock's partner when you're sorting your dried clothes. Anything that makes doing laundry go by faster is a win in our book!
Promising review: "These work. They are of good quality construction. I had a sock problem, and these have stopped the unexplained disappearance of socks. Obviously, the sock monster can't swallow the Sock Dock full of socks, only single socks." —A.D. Burnette
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in five colors).
42. A pack of slow cooker liners — even though slow cookers basically make dinner themselves, you still have to clean them. Now, all you have to do is peel the liner away, and you're left with a clean slow cooker in about one second flat!
PS: They also come in handy with dishes going into a water bath (think: cheesecakes, custards, and puddings).
Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE my slow cooker liners. Never again will I cook without one in my slow cooker! I've been using these for 2+ years and it still boggles my mind how much easier cleanup is nowadays. I'm not worried anymore about crusty sauce I have to clean off or things sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker itself. Now, I just plop one of these easy-to-use bags inside and voila! Doesn't affect cook time, and cleanup is a breeze — just pull bag out and toss, and you're easily 95% of the way to a cleaned-up slow cooker." —Minnemama2017

43. 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.

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).
44. A set of bed sheet fasteners so you don't wake up in the morning to your fitted sheet coming off of every corner of your mattress. If you move around a lot in your sleep and always tend to disrupt your sheets, this was made for you.
Promising review: "These sheet straps are the best purchase I have ever made. I bought a new bed and had to put a thick mattress protector on it for the warranty to remain active, so my sheets fit very snugly. I toss and turn a lot and my dog moves around a lot, so the sheets were always coming off the corner. I bought these, and it only took a couple minutes to put on. It’s been a week and my sheets have stayed in place. This was the perfect simple, cheap solution for a major annoyance." —Shariece

45. A set of reusable silicone straws that open up so you can easily clean them after each use. No more running your straws under your kitchen sink's faucet only to discover you still have some smoothie remnants stuck in there.
Promising review: "I never thought I’d be writing a review for straws, but here we are. These are FANTASTIC. I try to be as eco-friendly as possible but was ready to give up. I’ve tried metal straws, but they are tough to clean, and I don’t love metal against my teeth. I’ve tried other reusable plastic and silicone options, but they don’t work for thicker drinks like smoothies. These actually address all of my issues. I’ve used them for thick smoothies that I drink daily and just for other everyday drinks like water. They couldn’t be easier to snap open and clean, dry, then easily snap back into shape to use again." —M. Alexandria
