    38 Products That’ll Make You Think “OMG, That’s Genius” Immediately Followed By “I Need It”

    All that's left to ponder is how you got by in life before discovering these brilliant inventions 🤔.

    1. A nifty outlet shelf to keep additional items off your cluttered surfaces. Use it to hold your electric toothbrush or even your Alexa device! Either way, you'll be relieved to have one less thing occupying counter space.

    Promising review: "Bought this on Prime Day. I like listening to music/podcasts in the shower, but we don’t have much room for a speaker/Echo Dot on our counter space in the bathroom. This product solved this issue. It’s very sturdy and easy to install. Highly recommend!" —Jude Chauvin

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in black and in packs of two).

    2. Cup Cozy Pillow because not everyone has space for yet another piece of furniture. Now you can binge your fave shows *and* beverages on the couch without worrying about spills.

    Cup Cozy Pillow is a family-run small business that created this product after wanting a way to keep a drink close by while working on a laptop while on the couch.

    Check it out on TikTok!

    Promising review: "This is perfect for a big couch that needs cup/storage space where you can't put a table." —Natalie Murillo

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    3. A six-outlet USB wall charger and surge protector for a real light bulb moment, if you will. All your charging and plugging needs will be met. There's also a smart night-light with a sensor that automatically turns on when ambient lighting is insufficient!

    It also has a touch sensor and three adjustable brightness levels.

    Promising review: "These things are amazing. I have one in almost every room of my house. The light is just enough to be able to see at night to use the restroom or navigate the house without turning every light on. I love that the USB ports are built in — no more looking for an adapter. AND the plugs are set far enough apart you can plug some of the bigger things like Google Assistant or large AC adapters and still have plenty of room!!! These are a must-have in a tech or smart home." —SeiranCrow

    Get it from Amazon for $17.97.

    4. An amazing milk frother that'll make your at-home coffee way more appealing, especially if you're spending a lil' too much at Starbucks. You'll be able to add some ~frothy deliciousness~ to any drink (even if you use non-dairy milk)!

    gif of anther reviewer using frother in their coffee

    Don't forget the AA batteries!

    Promising review: "OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." —Michelle

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 44 styles/colors).

    5. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders with some big "why didn't I think of that?" energy. You'll never have to guess whether you're pulling the cord for the light or the fan! These also add a good foot of length to your pulls, which is super helpful for the shorties out there.

    Promising review: "This is the definition of "product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed." I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD

    Get it from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two sizes and five finishes). 

    6. A fabric shaver to remove those annoying pills and fuzzies from your fave clothes instead of tossing 'em in the trash! They'll look good as new so you won't have to spend a bunch of money on new stuff (sorry about that).

    another reviewer showing before photo of a vest with lots of piling / after photo of the vest looking clean with no piling

    It has three different depth settings you can adjust depending on the fabric you're working with. Oh, and it works on furniture upholstery, too!

    Promising review: "Seriously the best 12 bucks I’ve ever spent. I bought this for a particular cushion of my couch that my dogs like to lay on so it was extra pilly. It worked so well that I’ve been searching around my house for other things to de-pill. I’ve done some sweaters, pillows, pants, and even my slippers. Worked great for it all. Super happy with this little contraption." —ScarLo

    Get it on Amazon for $17.29+ (available in two styles six colors).

    7. A self-groomer cat brush when your feline needs constant pets and scratchies to be content. Now they can get some lovin' even when you're not around to supply it. Load it up with catnip if they need some convincing.

    Reviewer gif of a cat grooming themselves with the brush
    another reviewer's cat using the brush

    Promising review: "None of my cats like to play with toys! They have so much energy but would get bored with any toy within days. I tried rotating them and interactive toys, anything and everything for hours and at different times. There is nothing that has kept my cats busy like these grooming tools! I have literally never seen any of them sit and mess with something for more than a few minutes but my cats will rub on this for like 20 min at a time. 100% worth the money!" —Amazon Customer

    P.S. Don't forget to add some catnip to your cart so you can make your cat an offer they can't refuse!

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    8. A pair of reusable Sea Bands so you may live your best wanderlust life without motion sickness interfering. These target an acupressure point on the wrist to help reduce nausea, which is ideal for long car rides, cruises, and train rides.

    For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

    Promising review: "I have always suffered from motion sickness. My whole life I have hated long car rides, even short car rides. As soon as I get in the car and buckle in, I already feel the nausea. I bought these for a 16-hour road trip, and they worked 100%. I felt perfectly comfortable the whole way through. I could even watch movies and text on my phone and feel alright. My two daughters suffer from the same thing (ages 1 and 3) to the point where they couldn't keep any food down. The kids bands worked for them 100% of the time, too. 10/10 recommend. I'll be buying more for sure." —Veronica 

    Get a pair from Amazon for $8.50.

    9. A life-saving ChomChom pet hair remover roller if you love your fur child but not the hair issue. Roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment into the trash. It has over 135,00 5-star ratings for a reason, folks.

    Promising reviews:  "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in two colors/styles).

    10. Prismatic window film that'll add whimsical light to any dull room while also giving you much-needed privacy from nosy neighbors — genius!!

    Check out our Rabbitgoo window film review for more on why it's worth buying!

    Promising review: "Easy to use, installation was a breeze. Follow the instructions and the output is great. I love the colors when [the] sun rays pass through the window. This works as a privacy screen and [is] also decorative and ornamental. Highly recommend." —Shan

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).

    11. A garbage disposal cleaner to put an end to all the mysterious gunk lurking down there *without* any elbow-deep dirty work. And the blue foam is pretty fun to watch, so this may become one of your fave cleaning tasks.

    A reviewer's video of them using the cleaner with the caption
    reviewer photo of the blue package of disposal cleaner

    Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!) and run the water just a bit. Then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long.

    Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.65 (also available in larger multipacks).

    12. A clever neck reading light bookworms will praise until the end of time for its sheer wisdom. You'll be able to read in the dark without straining your eyeballs or committing to a disturbingly bright overhead light.

    Promising review: "I don’t have the best lighting in this house or the best eyes, and that makes for a hard time cross-stitching. These are absolutely wonderful! I can see my patterns and do my cross-stitching which is so great during this quarantine. Be sure to charge every night after use though. And they are so lightweight I forget I’m wearing them! Highly recommended!" —Nini

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).

    13. FryAway Waste Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder so you can dispose of leftover cooking grease the smart way. Sprinkle the powder in the oil while it's hot, let it cool, then scoop it into the trash. You'll soon wonder how you dealt with leftover grease before this revelation.

    FryAway is a woman-owned and Latine-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

    Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore! This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two styles).

    14. A ~brilliant~ rechargeable electric lighter for candle enthusiasts who are always buying new lighters when the fluid runs out — or worse, burning themselves with matches. Get your candle fix with a money-saving rechargeable lighter!

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga loves this! Here's what she has to say: "I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget for Christmas. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! If you're someone who gets a thrill from RAW POWER this is sort of the product for you. No, it's not a super-intense gadget, relax pyromaniacs, but it does buzz and produce a burst of electricity that I personally find exciting. AND I'll never have to buy another lighter again! Stop burning your fingers on matches and pick up one of these bad boys."

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in nine colors).

    15. An in-flight phone mount that'll keep you entertained when the airline isn't offering anything good to watch. Simply attach it to your seat-back tray and binge any movies or shows you downloaded before takeoff.

    See it in action on TikTok here

    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 $13.97 (available in five colors and as a two-pack).

    16. A pair of prism spectacles, aka the definition of genius. Those days of trying to read while lying down leading to a sore neck? Gone forever! They're also great for playing games, watching TV, and other activities that require you to be horizontal.

    Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd

    Get them from Amazon for $11.99.

    17. A game-changing veggie chopper about to become your must-have kitchen gadget thanks to its endless usefulness. Get ready to fall in love with meal prep again now that chopping is a breeze!

    Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite kitchen tools! This is right up there with my stand mixer. I save hours a week using this for dinner prep. I HATE cutting up veggies for dinner and this makes it fast and fun! I can’t believe I didn’t buy one years ago. This is worth every penny. Easy to use and I can just throw it in my dishwasher for clean up. I’m obsessed. I will be buying these as gifts. This is an absolute must-have for everyone." —Reviewer

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors and four sizes).

    18. Plus, a "Gracula" garlic crusher because it's a proven fact no one enjoys mincing garlic. No one!!! This cutie will make the task a bit more fun. Not to mention you won't have stinky garlic hands after.

    Promising review: "This is so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece so no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily — it is honestly a game-changer for my cooking game! And it is fun and cute, which makes me want to use it more! Will be getting these for stocking stuffers for all my adult kids this year for the holidays — definitely one of those things they didn't know they need!!" —Llamazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

    19. K-Cup cleaning pods when you're ready to face the scary buildup brewing inside your Keurig. The results may gross you out, but at least it'll be gone for good — and you barely had to lift a finger.

    three cups of dirty water that get progressively cleaner with each rinse

    Brew one large cycle with a cleaner pod and one large cycle with water-only. Toss the remaining liquid and cleaner pod when you're done!

    Promising review: "OK, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in packs of 12 or 18).

    20. flexible universal tablet stand to hold up your device so you can keep multitasking — or just when you're feelin' lazy. Use it while sitting, lying down, and on uneven surfaces. The legs fold for easy storage *and* it kinda looks like a lil' robot pet who just wants to make life easier.

    BTW — Tablift is a small business created by Scott Blevins after he had trouble finding a tablet stand for his bed. This is compatible with Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, and most other tablets (but you may have to remove the case in some cases).

    Promising review: "I literally have never reviewed a product I've bought on Amazon before. This product, however, is worth the time. Works perfectly for my iPad while laying in bed. We are part of the tiny house community, this leaves few options for most stands. I do not have any place to clip a stand, and forget about floor space for the larger ones. This suited my needs perfectly! It also has several spots for different view angles. Last but not least, it folds up to a very manageable size!" —Tara M. Riley

    Get it from Amazon for $49.95.

    21. A Take-n-Slide medication tracker so you stay on top of your meds and never accidentally take it twice! Once you take it, slide the tracker over and you'll be good to go without any guesswork. Yep, you need this in your life. 

    Promising review: "What a genius product. I absolutely love them. If you take the same medication, when you get your new prescription, just pour the pills into the bottle that you placed the tab strip on. It will literally last forever. So much more convenient than the pill boxes." —M C Zamarripa

    Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors and in packs of two).

    22. A compact 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger perfect for those moments that require your iPhone, AirPods, *and* Apple Watch to be charged at the same time. It even folds up into a tiny lil' square for easy storage and transport.

    Promising review: "I use this product to charge my iPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers didn't fit well in my bags or I always worried I would break [them]. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find on market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —SBREDDY

    Get it from Amazon for $29.96+ (available in nine colors). 

    23. A pooper scooper because you shouldn't have to keep breaking your back to pick up the smelly presents your pup left on the lawn —  or feel the warm squishy contents through the bag 🤢.

    The pooper scooper, which has a rake and a garbage bin

    The pooper scooper comes with an adjustable lightweight handle that extends up to 32 inches. It's equipped with an Arm & Hammer Swivel Bin and rake. You also get two no-touch, heavy-duty waste bags with activated baking soda to fight odors. Refill bags can be purchased separately, but many reviewers say regular grocery bags work just as well!

    Promising review: "Bought this to help me out since I have back issues. This is amazing! It really works great at getting all the poop and staying clean since you use a grocery bag on it each time! The rake doesn't get a lot stuck to it, but when it does it is easy to wipe off in the grass! Definitely a back saver and worth the money!" —waterfalls26

    Get it from Amazon for $15.98.

    24. "The Clean Ball," which will def come in handy if you often find a pile of mystery debris at the bottom of your purse or makeup bag. This takes care of the mess for you *and* keeps your other belongings clean.

    Promising reviews: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." —Wenhether

    "This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" —dj3biggs

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors and in packs of three).

    25. An oil mister so you never have to roll your eyes at the "toss in olive oil" step in recipes ever again. This kitchen whiz does the tossing for you so your hands don't get covered in grease.

    Promising review: "This is a great item for lightly spraying salads, roasting vegetables, or adding some oil to a prepared plate of pasta. Avoids using more oil than necessary so that’s a savings right there. I also use it to put a light coating of oil on all my cast-iron cookware to prevent rust. Best of all, it looks great on the dinner table. Lots of uses which really makes it an asset in the kitchen. It seems that it should last a while so I think it is worth the few bucks spent." —Clancy

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in packs of two).

    26. Crayola Globbles when getting your kid to sit down for an activity is not in the cards. They'll have a ~ball~ squishing, stretching, and slinging these any which way. Don't worry, reviewers say they don't leave behind a sticky residue.

    Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My 4-year-old daughter plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair. HOWEVER, they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room, which was pretty entertaining! None of them have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Heather Hambrick

    Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. 

    Promising review: "This does what it says. I've gone to the dryer so many times to find my sheets and blankets in a balled-up type blob. I have to unwrap everything and start the dryer again since it is all damp still...and usually had to repeat this another time to finally have the items dried. Wasting so much electricity for a number of drying cycles. The first time I used this product, it alleviated this issue. Everything was dry and not balled up. Fantastic product! I wish I would have found it sooner in my life. I think this will be stocking stuffers for my siblings this year." —Dan Smith

    28. An electric mug warmer you'll wish you'd discovered sooner, especially considering how many times your coffee has gone cold before you even got a sip. Your beverage will stay toasty so you don't have to keep reheating it! Your next thought = "Where have you been all my life?".

    Tip: Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once your drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature!

    Promising review: "I'm so happy about this product. I used to let my coffee stand for a while and then it gets cold. But with this warmer, I can enjoy my drink at a heated temperature so that I never waste drinks again. It's easy to use, and with a touch of a button, it works wonders. A must-get when you're always having a problem with your drinks getting cold easily."AbbyWabby

    Promising review: "These mug organizers work really well. I just ordered my third set. I've been using them for about five months and the cups sit on them nicely. I like that you can change the size so if you have some mugs which are bigger/smaller than others, the organizers work for them as well." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." —Jake the ChefturnedDaddy

    Get it from UncommonGoods for $25+ (available in two styles).

    34. Vacuum-sealed bags that can help solve a recurring issue in your life: a serious lack of space. Compressing bulky linens and seasonal clothes will create more space for organizing daily wardrobe staples.

    This is a photo of a closet that's open. Blankets fill up the closet from the floor to the ceiling. There are at least 13 different blankets in varying thicknesses and colors.
    A photo shows the same closet with most of the blankets stored in vacuum-sealed bags at the bottom of it. Four blankets sit on top that aren't in the vacuum-sealed bags. There's about a foot and a half of space from its ceiling to the top blanket.

    People love these as a packing tool when traveling over a long period too!

    Promising review: "These things are HUGE. I was able to fit a comforter and a sheet set in one. In another, I packed all of our summer stuff: swimsuits, coverups, and like 10 beach towels. They haven't lost any suction yet and they've allowed us a LOT more space in our hall closet. I think next time I'll buy one size smaller." —Sarah Wuest

    Get a pack of five from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes small–jumbo and in packs of three, four, and 20).

    35. Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque you'll obsess over because of how fun it is to use!

    Promising reviews: "I kept seeing Wonder Blading Lip videos on my TikTok. Went to Sephora and couldn’t believe they didn’t have it. Wound up buying it on Amazon and loving it!" —PM

    "I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy

    Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 19 shades).

    Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voilà! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors).

    38. car seat buckle release tool when your nails have suffered at the hand of your kid's buckle more times than you can count.

    Promising review: "OUTSTANDING! I am a young grandmother in my 50s and TIRED of breaking my nails on the car seat fasteners. Both my granddaughter and I LOVE this gadget. She keeps it tucked inside the pocket of her car seat. I never have to look for it. When we make it to our destination, I ask her to get it ready. In SECONDS the car seat is unbuckled. What a godsend! Truly, if we had been in an accident or other emergency, it would have taken me several attempts to free my granddaughter. I consider this a danger! This little device makes car seats enjoyable again. The color makes it easy to find and it fits logically right where it's supposed to...no need to carry instructions. I cannot say enough about this product and would recommend it to everyone." —Winnie

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors).
