TS Designs is a West Leroy, Michigan-based small business that sells fun gifts and decor along with eco-friendly items.
Promising review: "Great washable duster replacement tops. They vacuum off and wash up easily, and they grab dust and cobwebs every bit as well as the disposable ones I was using. Considering it means putting a bit less into landfills and also saving money in the long run, I only wish I had bought these years ago, sincerely. Also they shipped very promptly and arrived sooner than expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. Thanks!" —otherlings

Turbo Mops is a family-run small business that wants to help you live (and clean) more sustainably.
Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer Wet Jet and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I’m sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" —AKGross
Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.75.
4. Some silicone baking mats when you're ~fed up~ with having to scrub crusty food remnants off your pans. It also means you can stop buying aluminum foil, parchment paper, and cooking spray!
Promising review: "Our hopes in purchasing this product was to eliminate the need for parchment or foil paper. So we put it to the ultimate test by making fathead dough and rolling it out directly onto the silicone baking mat. I could not believe it didn't stick during the rolling out or the actual baking process. We continuously put it to the test and we've not had any issues as of yet. We just love this great find!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.13 (also available in packs of three or four).

Promising review: "What can I say, I am a huge fan of buying something I can use over and over again! I hate throwing away something I only use once. These are completely awesome. Perfect in size and no different than the throwaway kind. This just saves you money. Hey, I mean who doesn't want to save money? They wash up super easy with just a little warm water and soap, and then can be used all over again. Love these!" —Daniel J. Baxter
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.59+ (also available as a 24-pack).
6. A life-changing ChomChom pet hair remover roller if you've officially lost count of how many adhesive lint rollers you've purchased in your lifetime. This reusable roller catches the hair in a compartment that you empty into the trash, so you never have to purchase refills!
Promising review: "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 three colors/styles).
7. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka a magical cleaning paste to get rid of tough messes rather than paying for a new paint job. You'll be shocked by how quickly and easily this stuff can lift the stains you've been battling for ages!
It's made up of cleaning beads suspended in a gel, so it'll grind away at tough stains without damaging the surface beneath. It's suitable for use on most hard surfaces like ceramic tiles, barbecues, pots, pans, and more!
Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was OK but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" —May
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two sizes and as a two-pack).
8. A Bluapple freshness extender that'll prolong the lifespan of your produce so you can finally stop tossing wilted fruits and veggies in the trash. This will keep 'em fresh up to two to three times longer, so...what are you waiting for?
Each of these works for up to three months, so they'll more than pay for themselves in produce you'll save!
Promising review: "Easily one of my favorite Amazon purchases this year. Has literally doubled the life of our produce and paid for itself in less than a month. This is one of those things you wish you'd learned about years ago! A real money saver." —Ryan A
Get a set of two apples (and eight refill packets!) from Amazon for $26.99.
9. Plus, a Rubbermaid FreshWorks storage container with ~berry~ useful vents to keep your produce fresh and juicy for much longer. Gone are the days of tossing spoiled fruit in the trash that you barely got to enjoy.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown highly recommends investing in these: "The vents regulate the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide and keeps moisture away so your strawberries taste freshly picked days and days and days later. I recently got a couple of these and a bunch of basil and strawberries stayed fresh for SO LONG!!"
Promising review: "These containers are magical little gems and in my opinion worth every single penny that I paid for them. We buy a lot of fruit and greens (lettuce, kale, spinach, etc.) Normally, I can expect these items to start to go bad in my refrigerator by the end of the week after I've brought them home from the grocery store. These containers have changed my life! My strawberries stay fresher longer, as does the kale and spinach and I am a convert. I need about three more of these so that I have one for my grapes and other fruits. I also have the larger size and it does exactly what it says. No joke we went out of town for one week and came home and the strawberries still looked healthy and were ready to eat. Um... yes, please? I would recommend these to any and everyone." —Dee
Get it from Amazon for $37+ (available in five sizes and in packs of two or three).

10. A self-adhesive door draft stopper when you're looking for clever ways to save money. This will help prevent the cool air (or heat!) from escaping so you can kiss those ridiculous electricity bills goodbye — or lower them, anyway.
Promising reviews: "Kept all the drafts away for sure. Also keeps heat and AC temperatures in rooms comfortably. Actually saw a difference with my utility bill. Highly recommend and easy to put on. Was done in literally three seconds!" —Ph0t0gM@
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).
11. A rechargeable electric lighter for candle fanatics who are always buying new lighters when the fluid runs out — or worse, burning themselves with matches. You can get your candle fix with a money-saving rechargeable lighter instead!
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 $7.99+ (available in nine colors).
Read more about why she loves this (and what other people on the BuzzFeed Shopping team swear by) in her full rechargeable electric lighter review.
12. A cold brew coffee maker that's cheaper than running to Starbucks for your fix. Fill it with cold water, insert the filter full of coffee, and pop it in the fridge overnight. You'll have ready-to-drink cold brew each morning (and you'll use fewer disposable cups from the coffee shop)!
Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
13. And some refillable coffee pods so you can put an end to one of the most costly purchases on your grocery bill: K-Cups! You'll also cut down on single-use plastic, which is never a bad thing.
These BPA-free plastic cups are designed to work in any Keurig brewer.
Promising review: "Really like these reusable K-Cups. I hated wasting so much plastic using regular K-Cups and found this to use as an alternative. I have had these for two years and they have held up great! Easily to fill, clean really nicely, and no complaints! And it's great you can put your own coffee in so you're not stuck to certain brands or flavors. Highly recommend if you are trying to be more environmentally friendly." —Amazon Customer
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.49+ (also available as a two-pack and in a pack with different colors).
14. A pack of dry-erase sticky notes because have you ever stopped to calculate how much you've spent on disposable ones?! These can be used on most smooth surfaces and won't leave any residue behind.
Promising review: "I discovered these a month ago, and it has changed my life! No more Post-it notes that fall off and get stuck underneath shoes. Not to mention better for the environment. These are amazing. I have a stainless steel fridge, so I can’t use magnets. But I can use these! I put them on the fridge, on my kids' doors, TV, windows...anywhere, really. I especially love this brand as it comes with a nice little folder to keep them in as well as a marker, and the bright colors are just fantastic. Can’t say enough about these!" —jh
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and in packs of six).
15. A wow-worthy leather recoloring balm to revive your sad leather furniture instead of spending a fortune replacing it. Yep, your guests will be oohing and ahhing over this upgrade for the foreseeable future.
You just rub it right into your leather. It can even help minimize the look of cat scratches, depending on how bad they are. Note that it's very important to test to see if it will work with your particular leather, because it's for absorbent leather only — you simply put a drop of water on your leather and see if it soaks in. If it does, this product works! (Here's a video; skip to 0:42.)
Promising review: "Amazing results, easy to use! Can I give it TEN stars? My hubby was ready to get rid of the set. It's SUCH a comfortable set, and well-built... scale was just right for our new home... I couldn't let that happen! I had cleaned the chair with a tiny amount of mild dish soap and water previous to the stain's arrival. I threw on some latex gloves, dipped my fingers into the gel, and started massaging it into the leather. Results were immediate and impressive!! AMAZING!!" —Muysson
Get a jar from Amazon for $29.95 (available in 16 colors).
16. A two-stage knife sharpener that'll keep your knives in tip-top shape. You won't have to pay a professional knife sharpener *or* waste money on a new set just because the blades are a bit dull.
Promising review: "Wow, this little gadget is pretty amazing! I have some old (expensive) nonserrated knives that are supposed to never need sharpening but unfortunately, lost their sharp edge long ago. I saw this gadget and decided to try it. I set the bottom of this gadget on the edge of the counter and ran one of the knives through the side labeled 'Coarse' about 10 times, then ran it through the side labeled 'Fine' another 8–10 times. Bingo! The knife was transformed back to its former high-dollar cutlery glory. I could hardly believe how effectively it had sharpened the knife, which I had been ready to throw away a week before. I've been happily sharpening all our knives and trying to add up in my head how much money I've saved by NOT having to buy another set of expensive knives. I don't know where else you can spend $6 and get this return for the money. Great score!" —Schelly L. Wagoner
Get it from Amazon for $9.22 (available in three colors and in packs of three).

17. A pack of natural cellulose Swedish dishcloths, which can help you MAJORLY cut back on the need for sponges and paper towels in your kitchen.
These dishcloths are super absorbent — they can hold up to 20 times their own weight! They're machine washable, too.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these cloths! They are super absorbent and dry super quickly, so they don’t sour. I use [them] with a natural cleaner for kitchen surfaces. Easy to rinse and reuse over and over. Much more efficient than paper towels that rip and aren’t particularly absorbent. Saving money and the planet 🌎😊." —S. Ollivierre
Get a five-pack from Amazon for $14.95 (available in 14 styles).
18. And an eco-friendly sponge for a cost-effective option that'll take care of that mess you made while rushing around in the morning. It's machine washable so you don't have to worry about it harboring bacteria for months at a time (yuck).
Porter Lee's is a woman-owned small biz based in Portland, Oregon, that specializes in the ~cutest~ reusable home goods.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Daniel Boan can vouch for these sponges: "If you have a dishwasher in your home, I want you to go up it to right now and give it a giant hug. Don't you EVER take that beautiful appliance for granted ever again. Hand-washing dishes is my least favorite daily task, so I've been looking for products to make it a bit less of a hassle. I've also been trying to switch to more eco-friendly items when possible, so I knew these washable sponges from PorterLees on Etsy would be right up my alley. I was right — they're pretty life-changing. It takes a few uses to get used to the thin design, but they work just as well as regular sponges and are so easy to throw in the washing machine once they start getting a little gross — which means I can cross off sponges from my shopping list forever!"
Get it from Porter Lee's on Etsy for $9 (available in four colors and in multipacks).
19. A ~beary~ precious terra-cotta sugar-saver to save the day — or your brown sugar anyway. Simply soak it in water for 20 minutes, then place it in your bag of sugar to keep it fresh for months.
Just soak it in water for 20 minutes and place it in your sugar to soften and maintain moisture for approximately three to six months.
Promising review: "I was nervous to try them in case they were a waste of money. Yesterday, I followed the directions, i.e. soaked them in water for 20 minutes, then plopped one each in containers of hard-as-concrete dark brown sugar and one of light brown sugar. I didn't dry them, just dropped them in on top. So today, I took the containers down and looked, and each container of formerly concrete-hard sugar was easy to measure out, no lumps, it's a miracle!" —NGS
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
20. And these reusable silicone food huggers because aren't you sick of fruits and veggies going bad overnight? Stretch the eco-friendly hugger around your food, and breathe a sigh of relief. They preserve produce better than foil or plastic wrap without the endless cycle of repurchasing!
Each set comes with five silicone food savers.
Promising review: "These look so pretty in your fridge, and they have really saved me a lot of money from #1 throwing away less food and #2 not buying plastic wrap to use once and throw away. They really work and keep food fresh for a long time. I think they may even work better than plastic wrap which I can never get to stick anyway. They clean up easily and store nested in each other so they don't take up much space. The fact they are cheerful bright colors is just a bonus. I may order a second set in different colors!" —mel
Get a five-pack from Amazon for $17.99 (available in five colors and in an avocado version!).
21. A set of airtight paint touchup pens you can rely on to address an ugly scuff or scratch on the wall. Fill it with your paint and pull it out whenever you need to do a quick (and cheap!) touchup job.
They work like little syringes to neatly suck up the paint from the can. Because they're completely airtight, the paint lasts for years without drying out! They *are* refillable, despite what some reviewers claim; here's how.
Promising reviews: "Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints and so far they've stayed usable, without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker and it works okay." —Hooked on AMZN!
"I was looking for a small pen to help touch up small areas of my walls. These were easy to fill, very clean application, and they don’t leak between uses. Great quality and a fitting name. The item is clear so you could fill the two applicators with different paint colors to differentiate easily. They’re about the size of a pen so easy to store." —pckish
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (also available as a five-pack).
22. A pack of Shark Tank-approved miniature spatulas when you're determined to scoop out every last bit of product from a container, dammit. Whether you use it for food, lotion, or makeup, you'll get your money's worth.
Spatty is a woman-owned small business founded by Cheryl Rigdon. She dreamed up the invention in response to frustration over not being able to get every last ounce of product out of her purchases, and then landed a deal with the Sharks on Shark Tank.
The set comes with one spatula with a 6-inch handle, and another with a 12-inch handle.
Promising review: "So worth it! I'm so happy with it. You will definitely save money using this. I think about how much I could have saved if this was invented 30 years ago. I mostly use it for small makeup jars. I tested out the longer one on an 18-oz lotion and it worked fine. Some reviews complain about not being able to get every curve and corner of their container...oh please.! You get so much more than you would without it." —Liz
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99.
23. An indoor herb garden starter kit — fresh herbs aren't exactly cheap these days, so why not grow your own? They'll flourish right on your windowsill so you can use 'em to cook your fave Italian dish before you know it!
Promising review: "Absolutely loved the product. It was a gift to my wife as she wanted freshly grown spices. Very easy to use. Was able to do multiple plantings because you don't need to use all the seeds at once! Even had some extra soil so we used it for some succulents." —Eric W. Epp
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
24. A 14-piece set of airtight food storage containers if you're tired of buying new ones and want something that'll *actually* last. These are made with an airtight seal helping your food stay fresher for much longer, so nothing goes to waste.
It also comes with a set of labels, a chalkboard marker, and a measuring spoon set!
Promising review: "So worth the money. I have 2 teenage boys that are always hungry. They leave the chip bags and cereal boxes open. I could never find anything in the cabinets for the mess. Now, we are so organized and food isn’t wasted. I think in the long run that will help save money and we will use what we have because we can see it!" —justina
Get a set of 14 from Amazon for $30.58+ (available in four colors and various multipacks).
25. And reusable freezer bags that'll flawlessly organize your freezer in a way that is *deeply* satisfying — oh and you won't have to buy the pricy disposable ones anymore, either!
These BPA-free, leakproof silicone bags are made of food-grade material, plus they come with that super-satisfying zipper we all know and love. Just be sure to wash and dry by hand.
Promising review: "I love these! I am slowly replacing my Ziplocs with these reusable bags and I love using them. They hold up well in the freezer, clean well, and look good as new for the next time. Had one get stained from a tomato sauce, and after a few hours in the sun the stains disappeared. Loved them so much I bought extras like it as gifts." —A.N.
Get a six-pack of gallon bags from Amazon for $14.99 (available in gray or multicolor and in a variety of sizes and assortments).
26. Wad-Free pads for anyone who's tired of laundry getting tangled, wrinkled, and requiring additional cycles in the dryer. You'll save yourself time *and* money with this genius invention!
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
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a set of four).
27. And a wool dryer ball to solve many laundry woes at once. Your clothes will not only dry faster, but also come out feeling soft, fresh, and free of wrinkles. Most importantly, you'll save money by reducing the drying time and eliminating the need for dryer sheets!
Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Shep's Wool is a small biz specializing in wool products like crafting supplies and the coziest-looking blankets.
Promising review: "These are lovely — so big, so round, so firm! Would recommend if you're interested in shifting to dryer balls away from dryer sheets — these do the trick!" —Ferris
Get each one from Shep's Wool on Etsy for $10 (available in gray or white).
28. A peanut butter knife for jumbo jars so you can actually reach the bottom without making a mess OR wasting a ton of PB! It's longer than typical knives, so it can be used with various jumbo jars, like mayo, jelly, etc.
It's long enough to reach the bottom of those economy-size tubs, too!
Promising review: "My sons eat peanut butter all the time. Thought this PB knife would be a great surprise for them and help cut down on waste left in the jar. This is a really good purchase! Well made, sturdy construction, total length about 12 inches (blade and handle). Th edge is not sharp, but it IS sturdy. Washes well in the dishwasher. My guys actually love getting ALL the peanut butter from the jar, like a little challenge – cost savings the fun way. Shipping was super fast. Very happy all the way around. Recommend seller and product. A+ experience." —Revelun
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in colors red and white and in multipacks).
29. A drain clog remover, aka the magic tool you usually pay a plumber for. Keep this around so you can save money by tackling the filth living in your drain without a hefty bill to show for it.
Promising review: "OMG!! I'm just speechless. [The] tub drain was a bit slow so, I decided to try this thing without much expectation. I stuck the plastic all the way down, moved the thing a little, and pulled it out. And I was so shocked at how much hair came out. It's probably all the hair that went down the drain over the 7 years...literally, you could make a wig out of it! Surprised I am not bald! So worth of money!!! Definitely recommend to everyone." —Kelly
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in colors orange or green).
30. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser because throwing away a half-eaten loaf of bread that went bad should be a crime. This will extend the life of your loaf *and* you can use the bread bag with the dispenser to dispense each slice individually.
Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.
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 $16.97 (available in colors white or red and in three other sizes).
31. A washable drip catcher that'll save you SO many paper towels and/or dirty dish towels. Place this around the neck of your faucet and never clean up those tiny puddles again.
Hustle & Sew is a Saint Helens, Oregon-based Etsy shop with lots of fun and functional handmade goods like face masks, bags, and stasher scrunchies!

Promising review: "I love how this works. The bottom of the squeezer is weighted so it holds the tube well. I will get every last bit of toothpaste out of that tube for sure. It is really a money saver. No more throwing away partially empty tubes of toothpaste because you can't get to the last bits." —QltrGrl
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
