    31 Useful Products You're About To Tell All Your Friends To Buy, Too

    Might as well pencil in a group Facetime call with all of your besties now so you can rave about your new personal wine glass chiller.

    1. brilliant ice tray that'll make ice cubes more quickly than your average ice tray. But wait, we haven't gotten to the best part — you can pour your ice out without ever having to touch the cubes!

    Just fill the bottle-shaped ice maker with water, stick it in the freezer, pop the sides once the water is frozen, and pour the cubes into your glass. Icebreaker is a small biz based in Texas that sells this genius ice cube solution! 

    Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer or on the way to the freezer, and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!) Then seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's OK with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp

    2. A multihook necklace clasp so you can layer necklaces and not have to worry about them tangling up. You'll love how your necklaces lay exactly how you want them to without you having to constantly readjust!

    Promising review: "Loved this layering clasp. My fiancé bought me a necklace for Christmas and my birthday. I have a necklace I wear all the time. I tried wearing them all together but they always get tangled. I am so happy I purchased this. This clasp is great for keeping each necklace apart and keeps them from getting tangled. I also love that it's magnetic so when my toddler decides to play with it and yank on it, the chain doesn't break, the magnet just lets the chains loose. I love it!" —Sarah

    Get it from Amazon for $15.29 (available in a two-clasp or a three-clasp design and in three colors).

    3. Baseboard Buddy if you view cleaning your baseboards and molding as one of the most annoying tasks on your chore list. Instead of kneeling down to clean and hurting your knees and back, you can use this duster that extends up to 4 feet. The microfiber pad on the end will pick up all that unsightly dust, and you can just rinse and reuse the pad for future cleanings!

    The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. 

    Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99

    4. A mushroom-shaped funnel that's as adorable as it is functional. All you have to do it put the stem of the mushroom into the bottle's neck, flip up the mushroom head, and pour away!

    It's dishwasher-safe! 

    Promising review: "Literally so cute, I got the small one but it'll be perfect for what I need. So easy to use and I just use my straw cleaning brush to get an extra clean but the silicone material it's made of makes cleaning a breeze. So happy I bought it." —Jonica

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in two sizes).

    5. A magical makeup-correcting stick to make any mistakes while applying your eyeliner, lipliner, or lipstick disappear. It's so much easier (and more friendly!) to use than a Q-tip and doesn't leave behind any smudges or smears.

    Promising review: "I may be a little clumsy at times. But, this pen is so handy to clean up any mistakes. And it is so soft and moisturizing. I keep mine out of the drawer on my vanity. It is so precise." —Jenny L

    Get it from Amazon for $7.97.

    6. A personal wine chiller — just take this out of the freezer whenever you pour a glass of wine, and it'll keep your glass cold for over an hour inside and up to 45 minutes outside in the shade. Some reviewers have used it for their cocktails, too!

    Promising review: "I was skeptical as I saw ads for this on one of the social media platforms. I decided to buy one through Amazon and am so happy I did! It works amazingly well on keeping my Chardonnay chilled in Arizona heat. It lasts 1–1.5 hours indoors and about 30–45 minutes outside in 90-degree heat, but I've now bought two more so that I can switch them out if they start getting warm. It only holds your standard type of stemmed wine glasses (not ones like the Riedel Extreme Oaked Chardonnay glasses), but I've found most of mine do work with this. If you love cold white or rose wine, you will love this product!" —J. Lord

    Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in three colors and as a pair).

    7. An anti-blister balm because life is too short to spend it walking around in shoes that rub your ankles raw! This works best if you apply it at the beginning of the day before you start walking because it will create a barrier between your shoe and your skin.

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I wore heels that always give me blisters for eight hours, and I didn't get a single one when using this balm. It really worked! I plan on getting it again and again. I always have it in my bag at work just in case. I did find it necessary to reapply if I took my shoes off and put them on again." —Donna

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

    8. A set of mason jar lids that transform all those mason jars you already have into useful, reusable containers. Whether you need a spice container, a new soap dispenser, or a spray bottle for cleaning, this set has you covered.

    Amazon

    This set comes with one wide-mouth pour lid, one regular mouth pour lid, one spray bottle lid, one soap dispenser lid, one dressing dispenser lid, one regular mouth shaker lid, and one regular mouth shaker insert.

    Promising review: "I have been a supporter of reCAP for a while now. All of their products are made with quality and are extremely diverse! I gravitate towards using them when cooking, but there are many other ways to utilize. The spray nozzle is a great addition to the product set. I tend to fill a mason jar with liquids that are used to spritz meats when grilling and smoking, so the spray nozzle comes in handy. The spice cap is awesome and a great way to store dry herbs or whatever leftover spice blends you may have concocted. The soap dispenser enables me to get rid of an eyesore that the Dawn dish soap dispenser creates." —Anthony Rose

    Get the seven-piece set from Amazon for $39.99.

    9. A container of Museum Gel, which is a sticky, discreet substance you can attach to the bottom of anything breakable and valuable on your shelves (think: vases, glass figurines etc.) so cats or curious children don't knock them over by accident. And don't worry — the gel doesn't leave behind any residue. 

    Psst — people who sell jewelry like rings and want to balance them on a surface for photos also swear by this! 

    Promising review: "Saw this on TikTok and I honestly absolutely love it. I use it to keep my drawer organizers from sliding around. This stuff is amazing and I wish I had known about it forever ago." —Abby

    Get it from Amazon for $13.55

    10. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser that will keep your bread fresh for way longer than just leaving it on your kitchen counter and hoping for the best. It also creates a clever way for you to dispense your bread a slice at a time, and the airtight container will prevent your loaf from getting smushed.

    Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

    Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available in two colors). 

    11. faucet splash catcher designed to fit around the base of your faucet and absorb any water that splashes or leaks out. Now you won't have to mop up a mini puddle on your counter every time you do the dishes! And bonus: it's machine washable!

    Hustle Sew Shop is a small business based in Saint Helens, Oregon that hand-makes goods like face masks, scrunchies, and home products. This faucet splash catcher is machine washable, which is one of the many reasons it's so popular. 

    Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina

    Get it from Hustle Sew Shop on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).

    12. A pack of stacking shoe organizers that will literally *double* the amount of storage space for your shoe collection while still displaying what each pair looks like.

    Each organizer is adjustable to accommodate any type of shoe height. It also has an anti-slip surface so shoes stay put even at an angle.

    Promising review: "I love these! Love, love, love them! I am so happy to be able to SEE MY SHOES!! They had been hiding in the bottom of a closet or under the bed or piled on top of each other for years. Now I can see every pair! And I have BIG feet! 10.5 Wide. And I have HIGH heels! Some are 3.5 inches high. And while you kinda have to finagle the larger, taller shoes a bit, they DO FIT. When the heels get that tall though, they have a tendency to slip, so I just turned them toward the wall. Works great!" —K. Adams

    Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $33.99 (available in three colors).

    13. A twist-bottom flower vase with special features that'll make it easier for you to care for your freshly cut flowers so they last longer. It features a drainage hole at the bottom of the vase, and it twists open so you can easily snip the bottom of their stems before filling it with fresh water.

    Amaranth Vase Company is a small business that was started to solve the problem of the messiness and inconvenience of caring for a bouquet of flowers. 

    Promising review: "Most genius vase. The flowers last so much longer, because you can change the water and snip the stems to keep bacteria from growing and killing your flowers. It’s also beautiful as a vase itself, super modern and chic." —Eliezer Labkowsky

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes). 

    14. A Soap Standle — it's a small plastic oval with spikes that insert in your soap bar to provide a built-in stand for your soap. The stand has gaps in the design, which allow the bar to dry in between uses. That means less soap scum for you to deal with and a longer life for your bar of soap!

    Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown uses this and loves it! Here's her review: "If you like or use bar soap, I'll go ahead and say it: you need the Soap Standle, and probably more than one! Made from sturdy, infinitely reusable plastic, it puts every soap dish I've ever seen to shame. The top has pointy teeth that easily insert into your bar, then stay stuck there until your bar's down to the tiniest nub. The bottom has several waves in the plastic, perfectly designed so your bar of soap will sit neatly on the counter but have enough airflow in the gaps between the waves that the bottom of the bar easily dries out between uses and never gets mushy or gross!

    It's not bulky, so the bar looks pretty sitting next to your sink or on the shelf in your shower. I've used three of them since I got them in June 2022 — one with hand soap, and two with my favorite shampoo and conditioner bars — and have zero complaints. I just put the bars with the Standles directly on the counter and shelf, and both surfaces have stayed perfectly clean. I 100% agree with the 1,445 other people who have rated this 5 stars on Amazon, this product is such a game changer and a problem solver!

    P.S. Bar soap is perfect if you're looking to reduce the amount of non-reusable plastic in your life, and these make it much more practical!"

    15. A set of two reusable, washable pee pads so you don't have to keep using those flimsy, messy single-use pads with your pup who's in the process of house training. Reviewers have also placed it underneath their dog's water bowls to absorb any spills!

    Promising review: "These pads are an interior designer dog-loving dream come true! I take a lot of pride in the way I decorate my home and have put a lot of work into making it as beautiful as possible. But those ugly wee wee pads were the bane of my existence. So when I saw these I nearly passed out. Washable dog pee pads that look like little beautiful area rugs! How genius! I can’t lie. I was a little bit worried that my dog would get confused and start peeing on my actual Persian rugs. Oh the horror! But I just put the pad down where his old pad went and he knew! The material isn’t like an area rug so I guess he can tell the difference. The best part is they come in a package of two so I always have an extra one handy. And they wash really well and dry in no time." —DJB

    Get a set of two Amazon for $19.49+ (available in seven patterns).

    16. 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 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 $19.99.

    17. A dual-layered "flossing toothbrush" with bristles that are 10x thinner than normal bristles, which means they can get in between your teeth and unearth any food particles and bacteria that's stuck. It's especially helpful in those difficult-to-reach areas like molars or in between dental appliances!

    It's important to note: this isn't a substitute for regular flossing!

    Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.

    Here's what writer Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." 

    Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

    Get a pair from Amazon for $9.90 (also available as a four-pack). 

    18. A slim profile pull-and-rotate cabinet organizer for a brilliant way to utilize every inch of a super tall and deep cabinet shelf. Instead of having to rearrange everything to access what's in the back corner of your shelf, you can just pull out this organizer to grab whatever you need!

    Promising review: "TikTok inspired me. Guys, this thing is the real deal. Everything that doesn't fit on my spice rack ended up cluttering my cabinets. This thing solved that problem efficiently, quickly, and reasonably. We added a little extra double sided tape to the bottom to make it extra secure. Love it." —Kaitlyn B. 

    Get it from Amazon for $27.89

    19. A refreshing portable sparkling water maker if you're someone who is always searching for sparkling water to buy whenever you're out and about. Instead of shelling out money every time you want a refreshing treat, just fill this up, twist on the cap with a cartridge in it, and you'll have bubbly water in seconds!

    Each bottle comes with 20 mini CO2 cartridges (with more refills available separately).

    Promising reviews: "Love this bottle/soda maker. I am obsessed with fizzy drinks and cannot take my bulkier at-home maker with me to work or when I travel. This maker allowed me the compact convenience of taking my fizzy drinks everywhere I go. I can control what I put in my body and always get my flavors I love. 10 out of 10 do recommend! —Zeusboomer911

    "This is super fancy with a modern look. Probably one of the fanciest mini soda makers you can get. This product works great. Does the job of making soda water within seconds. I used it a couple of times and am satisfied with the product. We tend to buy bottled plain soda very frequently from supermarkets and this machine will save a lot of money over the long run. I would recommend this product if you are into carbonated water." —LiveWithTech

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in seven colors). 

    20. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier because there's definitely a better (and safer!) way to get rid of used oil than pouring it into a jar by your sink and waiting hours for it to solidify. Instead, just sprinkle this into your pan while the oil is hot, wait for it to cool off, and then dispose it right into the trash!

    21. A bottle of One Hit Wonder 10-in-1 leave-in spray from Mane Club that truly lives up to its name. Whether you're looking for a heat protectant, detangler, or something to fight frizz, this magical formula has got you covered.

    To use, spray through damp or dry hair and comb through.

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

    Here's what my coworker Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this leave-in spray: "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! Here, I have freshly blow dried hair with just this post-shower using this Amika blow-dryer brush. This brush is fantastic on its own but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. 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."

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    22. A multifunctional earbud cleaning kit because be honest with yourself — when's the last time you actually cleaned those out? This comes with a flocking sponge, high-density brush, and a metal pen tip so you can really dig in there and clean out all that earwax, dust, and debris. The sound is going to be so much clearer now!

    Promising review: "My entire family of four each has their own AirPods, and they get pretty dirty somehow. This product makes it super easy to clean all of the earwax and dirt built up in the ears piece of the AirPods and the MagSafe case as well. It is super easy to clean this kit too so you can reuse it as many times as you want. I definitely would recommend this product to anyone with AirPods or who wants to clean the cracks and crevices of their phone as well!" —Adeline

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three colors).

    23. A set of Lovoir winged eyeliner stamps if you've given it your all and you just CANNOT get your winged liner to look right even after multiple attempts. This will save you from so much frustration during your makeup routine!

    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

    24. An in-flight phone mount so you don't have to awkwardly hold your phone in your hand the whole trip as you're trying to watch the TV show you downloaded before takeoff. Now, you can pop it up on the seatback in front of you so your neck is in a comfortable viewing position, and your hands are free for snacking.

    Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in three colors).

    25. A sofa table that fits in that narrow space behind your sofa and the wall for a handy spot to place your drinks down or store those books you're planning on reading soon. The best part though is the built-in outlet that comes with two plugs and two USB cords, which means pretty much everyone sitting on the couch can easily charge their phones at once!

    Mitten State Woodworks is a small business based in Michigan that creates custom console and sofa tables.

    Promising review: "The table was perfect! Exactly to specs and looks amazing behind my couch. So great to have an unassuming place to charge my phone and leave my books! Seller was great to deal with and I got my table when promised! Highly recommend." —Janet Brewer

    Get it from Mitten State Woodworks on Etsy for $88.11+ (available in 33 lengths/depths and 23 heights). 

    26. A nail-and-cuticle oil for anyone who finds themselves with dry, damaged nails that tend to peel or break. Apply this daily on your nails, and you'll be amazed at how healthy they look after just a few months.

    Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month as I religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-oz refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).

    27. A neck and shoulder relaxer if you often find yourself at the end of the day with a stiff, uncomfortable neck and shoulders that just can't relax. Reviewers say this helps give them relief from pain that comes from side sleeping, prolonged computer use, and migraines.

    (Psst — you should consult with your doctor before trying anything new involving your neck/back area to make sure it's safe for you!)

    For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lay on this in ten-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one to three day adjustment period before regular use.

    Promising review: "I love this neck rest. My neck and shoulders feel so much better now that I use this product. I just love it. So much stress is held in my neck and shoulders. Exercise seems to make it worse so I took a chance on this neck device and I am so glad that I did. I lay on the floor with it for about five minutes a day. I sleep better too. Who knew this little piece of foam plastic would be of so much help to me? I may buy another one just to make sure I always have one on hand. It is small enough to pack for trips. Well worth the money when you consider the medical alternative." —Care giver

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).

    28. A lightweight, water-resistant Neutrogena SPF 50 face and body stick sunscreen to carry around in your bag to swipe on whenever you need some extra sun protection. Because it's a solid, you won't have to worry about it leaking, and it won't count as a liquid if you're carrying it on a plane!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly brought this on an international trip and loved it: "I first bought this for a weeklong Croatian vacation last year when I did carry-on, and as long as you are *thoroughly* reapplying, this stuff stays on pretty well. On a beach club afternoon, I did haphazardly reapply and missed a strip on one arm, but I tend to do that with spray-on or lotion sunscreen, too. Since then, I've packed this for any trip I've been on, including a two-day Disneyland trip where I toted this around in my bag and shared with friends. I sometimes carry it with me in my purse on my everyday adventures because I know it's so easy to apply. Also worth mentioning...I am about the palest lady you've ever seen and swear by daily application of sunscreen. But when on a beach trip, I'm constantly swimming in the water and sweating. So yeah, this stuff works. And if you're a bit hesitant about jumping on the solid sunscreen bandwagon, you can pack a stick of this, knowing you have enough sun protection to get you through to finding some spray-on or lotion SPF at your destination."

    29. A pack of twisty cable savers because no one likes having to buy a new (expensive) charger because the wire has frayed. This will protect the cord from damage and general wear and tear so it lives a longer life!

    30. A pair of aerating wineglasses — not only does it make your cheap bottle of red taste like a high-end bottle, it also just looks so dang cool as you're pouring the vino in!

    Promising review: "We tested them by comparing the wine before and after using the glass and there WAS a difference in the quality of the taste. Most items are mostly hype but this one seems to be real. Besides, it's cute to watch it flow." —KHofferMD
