1. A dog food tracker so you can keep track of your dog's feeding schedule — because let's be honest, you can barely keep track of your own schedule these days.
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just see if it's green and if not I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

2. A set of lock laces to turn all of your sneakers into slip-ons, because nobody has time to tie their shoes when they're running late all the time.
3. A pack of body wipes for the days when you need to skip the shower and take the lazy route instead. We've all been there.
4. A stash scrunchie that would be perfect for Gretchen Weiners — because it's full of secrets. There's a helpful little zipper pouch so you can stash some cash, keys, or the lip balm you always leave behind.
5. Adjustable bedsheet fasteners for anyone who is going to lose their mind if the fitted sheet slips off one more time. I feel you — and 2022 is the year we put a stop to it.
6. Game-changing ceiling fan pulls to help you finally remember which cord is for the light and which one is for the actual fan. Honestly, these deserve a spot in the Genius Products Hall Of Fame.
7. An air-dry leave-in cream so you can get perfectly tousled waves without the use of any styling tools — so it's essentially a bottle of pure magic.
8. A pack of food spikes that'll continuously feed your plant babies for up to two months, which is perfect for all you hands-off plant parents.
9. A hanging garbage bag holder so you can easily dispose of your scraps without having to walk over to the trash can every single time.
10. A nifty strainer that attaches to the side of your pot so you'll never burn yourself while awkwardly straining into a colander ever again!
11. A bracelet holder so you can wear your favorite accessories even when nobody is around to help you deal with that annoying lobster clasp. Seriously, it's 2022 — bracelet clasp technology should be more advanced by now.
Promising review: "I can't believe I've waited this long to buy one of these. My eyesight is failing, including my depth perception, so wearing bracelets has been difficult unless they are slip on. This jewelry helper is easy to use. Now I can wear bracelets again." —Cat Mom
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors and a pack of two).
12. A helpful hook that attaches right to your vent so you'll have a handy spot to place your mask when you're in the car.
13. A fog-free shower mirror with over 11,000 rave ratings that's perfect for shaving — or for making sure your facial cleanser removed every last bit of your pesky waterproof mascara.
14. A tub of cooktop wipes so you can easily swipe up any mess before it has time to become caked-on grime. It also works on microwaves if that's the only kind of oven you use on a regular basis.
15. A rapid microwave ramen cooker that'll become your new best friend when you need some fuel in the middle of a busy day — or when those midnight carb cravings hit.
16. A pack of plate clips so your beloved dips will never be too far away from the chips.
17. An apple slicer that'll make snack time roughly 100% easier. It's a one-and-done gadget that expedites the process between whole apple and apple slices (made for dipping in peanut butter, of course).
Promising review: "The product does exactly what it is supposed to do without an issue. Very sharp blades right out of the box. Sturdy construction. I’ve probably cut two dozen apples so far without an issue. Just run it under some warm water to clean. I love apples but hate cutting it with a traditional knife, so if you're like me get this product - it’s great and I eat way more apples now!" –Art3mis
Get it from Amazon for $6.29.
18. A retractable mini lint roller in a super-sleek case you can easily take on the go, so you can quickly clean up your pet hair-ridden LBD en route to your fancy dinner res.
Promising review: "Fits perfectly in my purse or desk drawer. I have three dogs and wear black slacks almost every day, this lint roller is a lifesaver for me! No more showing up to work covered in dog hair!" —Texas Mommy of 2
Get it from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in eight colors).
19. A pack of reusable microfiber makeup removing cloths, because it's finally time to stop using those wasteful disposable wipes. All you have to do it is wet it and start scrubbing the day away.
20. A box of individually wrapped Shout wipes to make the mustard and wine stains on your shirt magically disappear in just a few swipes.
21. A bedside caddy so you can say goodbye to losing your remotes, AirPods, and phone in your tangled sheets.
22. A body sponge that comes prefilled with body wash — so you can just grab it and get to scrubbing. This is perfect for anyone who always hops in the shower when they're already running late.
23. A document clip you can attach to your laptop's screen so you can stop looking down every time you need to reference that "Excel for Dummies" guide you printed out. Or maybe that's just me.
24. A dishwasher magnet to help you keep track of the last time you did your dishes...and to prevent any dish-related quarrels in your home.
25. A 10-foot lightning cable that lets you charge your iPhone and iPad from basically anywhere, because there's nothing more annoying than realizing your phone's about to die and you're nowhere near an outlet.
26. A blind spot mirror so you can safely see all those out-of-sight areas when you're changing lanes or merging onto the highway. All my fellow anxious drivers, this one's for us!
Promising review: "I purchased this one because there is no bezel that takes up space when the rear view mirror is already so small and you need whatever space you can get. The angle is also adjustable. Of all the ones I've purchased, this seemed to fit and look the best." —Peter
Get it from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in packs of two or four and four shapes).

27. A tub of The Pink Stuff, the viral cleaning paste that can quite simply tackle anything. Soap scum and hard water stains? Put The Pink Stuff on it. Scribbles on the wall from little artistes? Put The Pink Stuff on it. Scuffs on your brand new white sneaks? You guessed it – put The Pink Stuff on it!
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 okay 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 $5.97.
28. A cord organizer with an adhesive sticker you can place on the back of your stand mixer (or any other appliance!) so you'll have a place to wrap your cord instead of letting it dangle all over your counter. This is honestly genius and I want to put one on every appliance I own.
29. A super-long duster that can reach high enough to clean your ceiling fans (yes, that needs to be dusted!) and vents and far enough to clean that weird space underneath your dresser. You could practically lay on the couch and dust every surface around you.
30. A pair of fluffy slippers with microfiber mops on the soles so you can get some sweeping done while you make your way from the couch to the kitchen and back to the couch again.
31. A sleek utensil that looks like a simple spatula, but it's actually so much more. You can use it as a slotted spoon, spatula, turner and it even features an edge that's perfect for light slicing and dicing.
32. A rapid wrinkle releaser and fabric refresher spray to help tackle the creases and crinkles that are currently making your clothes un-wearable. Plus, who has the time (and the patience) to iron nowadays?
Promising review: "I bought this because I have a very bad habit of forgetting to take clothes out of the dryer quickly when it is finished. I also have some clothing that needs to air dry. When the clothing is dry, you simply spritz it with this magic concoction and smooth the wrinkles out with your hands and ta-da! Wrinkles are gone. I don't travel much at all, but I know when I do, I’ll be taking this with me to get rid of all the wrinkles in everything." –WidowWoman
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.97.
33. An over-the-drain hair catcher you simply position down on your shower floor and let it collect all your loose strands in a tidy pile that's super easy to clean up.
34. A handy brush that will scrub away at every nook and cranny of your utensils, because giving them a quick swipe with your sponge is really not cutting it.
35. A genius brush and squeegee combo so you can swipe all your countertop messes directly into the sink. It even has a built-in ledge so you can hang it when not in use.
36. A scrunchie-towel hybrid made of microfiber so you can put your hair up in a pony and dry it at the same time, so it's basically a multitasking miracle.
37. A dry shampoo foam — yes, I said foam — that's basically a shower in a bottle. It will give your hair a clean slate and stop you from throwing your brush out of the window when your curls just won't cooperate.
38. A set of portable cutlery with a fork, spoon, and knife made from BPA-free, food-grade wheat starch so you can finally say goodbye to single-use plastics and become the eco-warrior you truly are.
39. A detangling brush to quickly smooth out your unruly hair with minimal pain and breakage.
40. A handy faucet splash catcher, a top-rated and machine-washable product that'll absorb all of the splishes and splashes from your sink's faucet.
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 six colors).
41. A mug warmer to keep your morning cup of coffee or nightly cup of tea hot (and as far away from lukewarm as possible).
Promising review: "I'm a chronic coffee forgetter. I can't drink it straight from the brewer (too hot for me) so I set my mug down to cool slightly and often get distracted. Of course I then come back to my coffee to find it's already cold. I've currently got the warmer at my office and it's working great. I can sip my coffee leisurely over the course of an hour and it's still nice and warm." —Elle
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
42. A rechargeable lighter, so you can keep the ambient lighting and aromatherapy going in your house without worrying about running out of lighter fluid or going through a box of matches.
Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super minor annoyance. It's a super intuitive device. Plus the lighter with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" —Jee W
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in three colors).
43. A bug bite suction tool from Shark Tank that'll suck out the venom left behind from those insects that love to chomp on our skin all summer long. It'll reduce swelling, itching, and redness in no time!
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
44. An oil-absorbing facial roller you can glide over the greasier parts of your face, like your T-zone, for some instant *mattification*. Plus, it's a less wasteful alternative to blotting sheets!
This roller can be used over makeup (without messing it up)! Just be sure to give it a wash before your next use.
Promising review: "I first saw this online and it looks like it worked very well in the video that I watched. I use oil blotting sheets a lot and I work but I thought if this rollerball works it would be way more convenient as it is reusable and washable. This does not move your makeup at all and it literally makes your face look completely matte, soaking up all of the oil! Super easy to clean." –Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $12.97.
