    Here Are 39 Time-Saving Products To Try If Your Biggest Winter Gripe Is Not Having Enough Hours In The Day

    Whether you need to save time cooking, cleaning, or getting ready, you're about to find the answers you've been looking for.

    1. Some Downy Wrinkle Releaser fabric spray for getting rid of pesky wrinkles FAST because who has time for an iron? Use this spray, give your clothes a few tugs, and then smooth 'em out and release the wrinkles.

    Promising review: “Easy to use, convenient, and effective. I love this stuff!!... you just spray the front and back and pull on it for a minute to release all the wrinkles. It smells great – very fresh... Plus, even if you do have the space to iron, it’s such a time saver in the mornings and great for things like T-shirts that don’t usually need to be ironed but are wrinkly...My mom has been using this for years, and it was great when I was a young teenager so that I didn’t have to get out the iron and make my mom worry about me burning the house down. Overall, I think this product is super convenient and a time- and energy-saver worth having around the house.” —Isabel

    2. A veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer that'll become your trusty kitchen sidekick thanks to its usefulness. Is chopping vegetables one of your most dreaded tasks? Not anymore!

    the same reviewer now showing how nicely it cut up all the veggies for the recipe

    It comes with a small-dice blade, large-dice blade, spiral blade, and ribbon blade that are interchangeable and gives you the option to chop, slice, and julienne vegetables. Plus, you get a lid with a built-in chop and a storage container to hold the veggies.

    Promising review: "I’ve had this for a couple of months now, and it makes my life SOOOOO much easier. Anything I’ve thrown at it, it’s sliced with ease. Tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onions, celery, carrots...EASY! I even use [it] to chop the eggs when I make potato salad now since it’s so easy and makes perfect slices.

    "What used to take me three to four mins chopping up an onion and then a face full of ruined makeup, now takes less than one minute and no makeup ruined. The blades are SHARP, definitely be careful when removing them. But the lock on the tray makes it easy and so far I haven’t hurt myself with it. Typically, I’ll use it and then rinse out the top and put it in the dishwasher. It’s been through on the top rack well over 20 times now and still looks brand new. If something ever happens to this one, I’ll be back to get another one. It saves me so much time when cooking dinner!" —Macygrey09

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in three colors and four other styles).

    3. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to put an end to the gunk that's lurking down there — no time-consuming, elbow-deep dirty work required. It's pretty fun to watch, so this may become your fave cleaning task.

    Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica House

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78 (also available in larger multipacks).

    4. Revlon's One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer brush when there's no time to waste but you still want to look like you just left the salon. This will speed up your hair routine and leave your locks with incredible shine *and* volume.

    Reviewers with everything from thin and short to wavy and fine to thick and curly hair love this One-Step Brush and say it works great for their hair types!

    Promising reviews: "I don't know why it took me so long to buy something like this. I went home to visit my family and my mom had this tool. I used it and instantly became obsessed. It smoothed my frizzy hair, dried, and styled it all in one. I've been exclusively using this tool for months to style my hair and haven't had to worry about pulling out any other tools! Love it!" —Gabby Stapp

    "I’m totally in love with my dryer brush. I’ve been wanting one of these for years and finally decided to buy one! So glad I did! My hair is so shiny and soft after using this! I have fine hair and it works great as long as I don’t use it on high. I do let my hair air dry for about 20 minutes first and then start out on medium and switch to low to finish up. If you're on the fence about buying it just hit that buy button you’ll be happy you did!" —Bridgott Brown

    Get it from Amazon for $40.93 (available in four colors).

    Many reviewers with curl types 4a-c prefer the oval brush, but if you're looking to blow out tighter curls or coils, try the Revlon One-Step paddle brush instead. This model is made for users with curlier hair. You can get it from Amazon for $36.67. Reviewers of this brush also say it's the best thing they've bought for their hair!

    5. Plus, a Turbie Twist microfiber hair towel wrap that'll have your hair dry in no time at all. The soft and absorbent material helps accelerate the drying process, and it can even help prevent frizz!

    Promising reviews: "My time is limited in the morning. I wash my hair, wrap it up in a Turbie, and proceed to eat, dress, and do my makeup. When I remove the Turbie there is far less dampness in my hair and drying goes more quickly." —Trinity Grace

    "I’ve used Turbie Twist towels for well over a decade. In that time, I’ve had to replace them one other time...It's an excellent quality product that does exactly what it says. I have a lot of fine hair that has varied between chin length and mid back over the years. Regardless of length, the Turbie Twist keeps my hair off my face while I moisturize and apply skin care, and also cuts down on dry time. The towels are absorbent and the microfiber prevents frizz because it’s not roughing up the cuticle. Highly, highly recommend!!" —Amazon Customer

    "Softness. I don’t have to worry about lint in my locs. Quick drying for my 4c hair." —Tawana White

    Promising review: "Although I've lived a long time and own many kitchen gadgets, I never knew what a difference a GOOD pineapple corer could make...it is so incredibly easy to use and saves so much time and effort. Don't know how I lived without it!!!" —RL

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 10 colors).

    7. Lovoir's Winged Eyeliner Stamp if you've lost count of how many hours you've spent trying to perfect your cat-eye game (it's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me 👋). It only takes a few seconds to apply, it'll last the entire day, and it's waterproof!

    This product comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty

    Promising review: "Someone recommended this product to me on TikTok, I was unsure of the quality because it was such a cheap price. I have cried and swam, and this stuff doesn’t come off easy! It’s great. Not to mention it lasts a long time! I am happy with this brand." —Shay Lastowski

    Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in four styles).

    8. A set of airtight glass meal prep containers, aka the time-saving trifecta because they're microwave-, dishwasher-, and freezer-safe! They come with leakproof lids so you'll spend less time cleaning up messes, too. Plus, each container has up to three compartments to separate food for picky eaters.

    This set comes with nine lids and containers: three with 1 compartment, three with 2 compartments, and three with 3 compartments.

    9. An LED fog-less mirror because when you need to use each minute wisely, this may lead to part of your getting-ready routine taking place in the shower. Reviewers love how this cuts down on shaving time and makes for much easier cleanup.

    Promising review: "This deluxe shaving mirror saves me about 15 minutes in the morning. If you're anything like me, 15 minutes in the morning is like an hour in daytime hours. I really like not having to keep up with and apply the anti-fog sprays to the mirror, which only temporarily work (so I hear). Filling the back with water that goes in the back of the mirror only takes about 10 seconds and discarding the water after shaving takes about five seconds. Shaving in the shower with all the steam makes your shaving experience much closer and comfortable, I find. Like I said, when I wake up in the morning, I stumble to the shower FIRST. No more going to the sink, washing my face, shaving, AND THEN stumbling to the shower. Excellent way to start the day... and with much less stumbling, my chances are much greater in making it to work... LOL" —Nicholas

    10. FryAway's cooking oil solidifier that'll help you easily get rid of leftover cooking grease. All you have to do is sprinkle the powder in your remaining oil while it's hot, let it cool, and then scoop it into the trash.

    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 three styles).

    11. A highly popular microwave pasta cooker so you can make pasta faster than ever! This will save you on nights when you simply don't have a lot of time to spare in the kitchen. Add water and dry noodles, stick it in the microwave, strain it, and you're done.

    Promising review: "I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I try to limit my monthly food expenditures and the Fasta Pasta helps me work in at least one inexpensive pasta meal every week. If not more. First of all, I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps, and a big cleanup afterward. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly-measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot, then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap. No big pot; no colander; no spaghetti fork to lift out the pasta. Just the easy-to-clean Fasta Pasta and a pot to heat up the sauce. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!" —Smilin Sam

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available as a microwave ramen cooker).

    12. A One Line a Day journal to fulfill your 2024 goals about being more intentional without the overwhelming "Dear Diary..." vibes that make you skip it altogether. You'll be able to reflect on your day in a clear and concise way. Plus, this thing lasts for five years!

    The book comes with 365 pages, each of which has lines for five days, so you'll write on the same page each year when the date comes around again.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.92 or Bookshop for $15.76 (originally $16.95).

    Promising review: "I am a guy not too fond of cooking and cleaning up. I like working out and eating clean. I bought the 6-quart last weekend, and I can say my life is now on a different trajectory because of this product. Cooking and cleaning up is now a breeze. It cooks amazing foods. (I suggest getting a recipe book.) I can cook in large batches for the whole week without too much fuss. The best part is cleaning up. Due to the deep bowl, it doesn't splatter everywhere when cooking. I use it to sauté a lot. It has replaced my electric stove and even my microwave. I just ordered the nonstick bowl for it as the food seems to stick to the stainless-steel bowl when searing or sautéing. It's an amazing product." —TK

    Promising review: "Before this product, I stayed away from lashes altogether because I was scared of the application. Now it’s a quick process. It’s also a plus that the opposite side helps make sure the lashes are secure after application. People are amazed at how fast I can put on my lashes and go now. Plus, this little thing is durable." —Sherona

    Get it from Amazon for $4.98 (available in five colors).

    16. An Oxo Tot space-saving drying rack if you're constantly washing baby bottles and accessories — this is perfect for faster drying and efficient storage! You'll save counter space, speed up the drying process, and find what you need quickly.

    Promising review: "Before I got this product, I was just putting the parts on a dry dish towel. I really like how this goes against the back of the counter and saves a lot of space. It’s also easy to keep all the parts separated so I can put a bottle together quickly." —Amanda Templeton

    You can also buy some magnetic cheat sheets with air fryer cooking times!

    Promising review: "Fantastic kitchen tool and well deserving of the hype. It’s helped me immensely when cooking meals in my kitchen, especially with side dishes such as brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and the ubiquitous fried potato. The Dash has removed all the stress of trying to get the timing right when preparing multiple dishes and cooks everything perfectly crisp on all sides. Getting tofu crisped has always been a struggle...but with this, I’ve been able to get results that I’ve been trying for years...Highly recommended. It looks cool and doesn’t take up too much counter space either." —User of Consumer goods/bads

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in five colors).

    18. Dash rapid egg cooker when you love eggs but *not* the time it takes to cook 'em. Whether you're a fan of hard-boiled, scrambled, or poached eggs, the possibilities are endless.

    Check out a TikTok of the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker in action and be sure to check out our Dash Rapid Egg Cooker review for more deets!

    This cooker includes the base, clear lid, measuring cup, poaching tray, omelet bowl, boiling tray, and a handy little recipe book. You can cook up to six eggs at once. It's perfect for making hard- or soft-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, omelets, and more. Pierce the eggs, place them in the cooker, and add the recommended amount of water for what you're making. Close the lid, turn it on, and your eggs will cook in a matter of minutes.

    BuzzFeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord says: "I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it (I like mine medium-boiled 🍳). If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra "oomph" to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!"

    Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina

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

    19. OR! A hard-boiled egg timer so you can stop guessing how long it *actually* takes to get a perfectly cooked egg. Plop the timer in the water along with your eggs and the color will change to indicate how boiled they are!

    Promising review: "Is this 100% necessary? No...however, it does make one thing a little easier for me in the morning. Instead of watching the pot and waiting for the water to boil to start the timer you can just put the NobelEgg in the pot with your eggs, start the heat, and just wait for your eggs to be done. Can't wait to give some as gifts!" —BaileyBoo

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three colors and as a two-pack).

    20. A set of lock laces you'll wish you'd discovered YEARS ago considering how much time you've spent tying (and retying) your laces. Now you'll be able to slip on your shoes, tighten if needed, and head out the door.

    model wearing sneakers with purple lock laces on them
    Amazon

    A lot of runners and athletes also swear by these for training and races, since it's a guarantee their shoes won't come untied (and it also helps distribute the tension through the entire top of your foot, preventing localized injuries for longer runs!). You can also adjust the tension easily if your feet are more swollen on a particular day.

    Promising review: "Purchased two pairs for my running shoes. They work very well, have put a bunch of miles on them. No more tying/untying, just slip on. I like how they keep unified tension across the entire laces from top to bottom. I have had no issues with the lace lock at all, it snapped in well." —Scott

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).

    21. A ~handy~ bag holder that'll eliminate all those trips up and down the apartment stairs because you have too many bags to carry. These strong holders will help you get it done in one go!

    Click & Carry is a Los Angeles-based, woman-owned small business that Kim Meckwood started when she wanted to solve the problem of carrying heavy shopping bags. Each bag holder can hold up to 80 pounds. Reviewers also say this holder comes in handy to help carry paint cans, sports equipment, and more.

    Promising review: "I heard about this product from a friend and had been meaning to check it out. My only regret about this purchase is not getting it earlier! I used to dread going to the grocery store due to the hassle of struggling with all my bags and the multiple trips to and from the car. Now those days are a thing of the past because of this ESSENTIAL product. After realizing my newfound love of this product, I did some research and found all sorts of other uses for it such as using it to secure my purse to my shopping cart and hooking my dog leashes together to walk both dogs at the same time. I love this product and love gifting it to others as well!" —Lisa Gilroy

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors and as a two-pack). 

    22. Some vinyl measurement conversion decals if you're tired of interrupting your cooking flow to google a conversion for your recipe. Glance at your decal and you'll have the answer much faster, *and* you won't get your phone or tablet all greasy with your oily fingers.

    Promising review: "I put these stickers on my baking section in the kitchen. No more searching around for my measuring devices. How annoying figuring out what equals what.

    24. A ~super~ awesome Souper Cube when you're essentially a certified batch cooker at this point and want to make freezing leftovers much easier. Rather than having one giant hunk of frozen soup to defrost, it'll be perfectly portioned for you so you'll have dinner on the table ASAP!

    Each tray has four fill lines — 1/2 cup, 1 cup, 125 mL, and 250 mL — which is ideal for people who like to portion their food.

    You may remember Souper Cube from Shark Tank (Lori invested in the company!). This small business was started by four friends who loved soup but hated food waste.

    Promising review: "So happy that I found these. I’m the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it’s impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I’m ready for the next batch!" —Debbie R. Texas

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors and as a two-pack).

    Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action. 

    Promising review: "If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." —Rachel

    Promising review: "The waste bin for scraps is so handy when working on my island counter. Saves me numerous trips to trash can on the other side of room. It makes it easy to keep my work space neat when cutting up vegetables since all scraps go directly in [the] bin. Easy to clean [the] bin when finished. I definitely recommend this product!" —Bpartypro

    30. A quick-drying top nail coat because who has time to sit around and wait for their nails to dry? As if. Apply a couple of coats and you'll only need to wait a few minutes before getting on with your day!

    Promising review: "NEVER GETTING MY NAILS PROFESSIONALLY DONE AGAIN. I love having long nails. I do not like spending fifty bucks just to get them painted. I tried the gel polish, with gel top coat; I tried the gel system with the lamps; I tried every polish out there. My hands get washed hundreds of times daily. This stuff is unbelievable. It really works the way they say it does. I applied it about one or two minutes after finishing a second coat of color and within minutes it had bonded and set and my nails stay shiny and polished for over a week. That is not the full two weeks claimed, but I am unusually hard on my nails so over a week is AWESOME. I immediately ordered several more." —Amazon Customer

    31. A truly brilliant Beard Bib — gone are the days of hunting for the tiny remnants of your latest beard trim on the bathroom counter.

    Promising review: "Finally bought this for my husband and I’m not sure why I waited so long. He would always shave over a towel, ball the towel up to 'clean it up when he got home from work,' forget to tell me, and then I’d see it on the bathroom floor or counter, pick it up to throw it in the washer (unaware of what surprise was inside), and beard hair would go EVERYWHERE. My husband can fully shave and then he basically has a full beard again three days later, so this happened more times than I’d like to admit. PEOPLE, DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BUY THIS NOW!" —Ashley Flaga

This may have become my favorite cutting board." —Artierra Nieto

    Psst! The brand recommends using this spray on medium to coarse hair types. For fine to medium hair types, try the Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Mist!

    Promising review: "I LOVE the smell of this! Bought it due to frizzing from coloring my hair, but really didn't believe that it shortened the drying time. I mean, how can something putting moisture on your hair shorten the drying time, right? I was shocked. I don't know if it cut it down by 50%, but I did notice blow-drying my hair took quite a bit less time. I am sold on this stuff. Makes my hair feel like silk, but not greasy (I was worried about it making my hair greasy) and it takes only a few sprays to get the results. I hold it about 15 inches from my head and spray the top, both sides and the back once, then rub it in with my hands. Perfect!" —Janice C. Henderson

    Promising reviews: "I have a heavy metal shelf in the center of the room I was framing, which turned out to be a great place to attach this for full room coverage. [I] used it when leveling stud walls and marking gang box placement. Well worth the money, saved me a lot of time measuring and grabbing the level." —Christy R.

    "I was looking for a light-duty laser level for projects around the house and am very pleased with this model. It is very bright and easy to use. It came with the necessary attachments so I can use my tripod that I already owned. I've only used it for a couple projects so far but I'm very happy with this purchase. It's so much better than juggling a long level while standing on a ladder. I would definitely recommend this laser level." —T.
