1. A countertop dishwasher for all of us living in tiny apartments — because nothing ruins the vibe like a sink full of dirty dishes. It's surprisingly spacious and will leave your dishes looking sparkly clean. Take it from me — it's a game-changer.
Shoutout to my sister, because this might just be the best gift I've ever received. Seriously – I can't even remember life before owning this. Hand-washing dishes used to be my least favorite daily task, and this has greatly reduced the amount of time I spend scrubbing away at the sink. I still have to hand-wash bigger pots and pans, but it fits all the other smaller dishes and utensils my roommate and I use in a normal day.
All you have to do is fill up the water tank to the fill line (or hook it up directly to your faucet if you prefer), add your detergent, choose your wash cycle (I typically stick with the "Normal Clean" mode), and kick back while your new favorite device does all the hard work for you.
Get it from Amazon for $297.95.
2. A set of airtight food storage containers with reusable chalkboard labels that'll have your cabinets looking so immaculate that even Khloé Kardashian would be jealous.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these containers from Chef’s Path!! Have been searching for a good set for quite some time and am happy I stumbled upon these. I feel these containers are of a higher quality than others and the price is much more affordable. I really like the fact that the lid handles are made up of durable plastic. The assortment of sizes is a plus, they’re easy to stack one on another and are rather durable. The locking mechanism works well to seal but not difficult like others I’ve tried to open. The pen, chalkboard labels, and measuring spoon set are a great addition to the set. Everything you might need for pantry organization has been provided." —Manzi

3. A storage strip to keep your brooms and mops off the floor and free up some much-needed space in your utility closet. It might even convince you to clean more, but no promises.
Promising review: "Repeat customer! I purchased one to organize the garden tools (rake, hoe, cultivator, shovel, etc.) in our garage and by alternating the tops of the tools up/down, was able to fit them neatly in the holder. Liked it so much, going to install another next to it for the other items. The hooks are a nice feature to hold our gloves and a simple plastic bag to hold things when needed." —Rob C.
Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in five colors and various packs).
4. A food container lid organizer, because finding the matching top to your Tupperware container shouldn't feel like an impossible task. Organizing every single cabinet and drawer in your home is truly peak adulthood.
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five sizes).
5. A pre-designed habit tracker calendar with plenty of space to keep track of your to-do lists and monthly goals, so it'll basically get your life together for you.
Free Period Press is a woman-owned, queer-owned small business that creates paper tools to help with productivity.
Promising review: "I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I've always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I'd been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some 'homework' pages at the beginning to help you focus in on your goals, but mostly its the cleanness and ready-to-go nature of the monthly calendar pages that have worked for me. It's helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus so I'm not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend. Another friend saw me using it and also made a purchase. I'm really happy I made the leap." —Flight of Stars
Get it from Amazon for $18.
6. And a pack of cleaning tablets that'll clean your dishwasher for you, because it's probably way dirtier than you imagine. These will break down lime and mineral buildup so your dishes come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.98 (also available in a pack of 12).
7. A three-pronged duster to reach in between your blinds, because they are probably way dirtier than you think 😬.
The duster comes with five microfiber sleeves so you can take care of all your windows at once before giving the sleeves a good wash.
Promising review: "A super time saver. It legitimately used to take us hours to clean all the blinds. We can now do all the faux-wood Venetian blinds in the house in about one hour. It's really nice that it comes with some spare cloths for it, and it's cheap enough to buy a whole additional set so we can make more than one kid do this chore at the same time." —R.D.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
8. A Roborock robotic vacuum that not only cleans your entire home at the push of a button — it also empties itself! Having a robot keep your home spotless is the future The Jetsons wanted for us.
I've always wanted a robotic vacuum, and after getting a chance to try the Roborock Q5+, I can't believe I waited so long. I absolutely hate vacuuming, so the ability to have a magical little robot clean my entire apartment at the touch of a button is an absolute life-saver. The accompanying app is very easy to use — I typically use it to set up custom cleaning schedules — and the smart mapping feature was extremely accurate on the very first try. There are definitely cheaper options on the market, but what makes this worth the extra splurge is the self-emptying feature. Once the robo-vacuum is done cleaning, it finds its way back to the charging base and empties itself into a dust bag that lasts for up to seven weeks. My apartment has never been cleaner!
Get it from Amazon for $479.99 (clip the $220 off coupon to get this price).
9. A game-changing pan and pot lid organizer, because reaching for your favorite cookware shouldn't feel like playing a game of Jenga in your cabinet. You'll feel like you're cooking in a professional kitchen.
You can use it upright or on its side.
Promising review: "I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good." —Linda
Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (available in three colors).
10. And an adjustable rack that will neatly store your pans, muffin tins and pie trays so you can quickly grab what you need and get your bake on. Paul Hollywood would be so proud of you.
Promising review: "Loved it so much I bought a second one immediately! Works great for circular pans, 9x13 cake pans, heavier pans, jelly roll pans, awkward collapsible colanders, cutting boards, whatever you want. Having nonskid feet is a big plus." —Organization Freak/Hobby Cook
Get it on Amazon for $19.99.
11. An extendable baseboard duster, because be honest — when's the last time you actually cleaned them?! It definitely wasn't this past spring, so you're probably way overdue. It can extend up to 4 feet, so you won't even have to bend over to get rid of those pesky cobwebs lingering in the corner.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry.
Promising review: "For many, this may seem like a waste of money. Not for me. I am over 65 and have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. As a result, my baseboards did not get dusted as frequently as the rest of the house. This made it so much easier for me." —retired
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
12. A set of clear plastic jars so you can keep essentials like cotton balls and Q-tips in their proper place instead of throwing them in random drawers and cabinets that you can never keep organized.
Promising review: "I was a little unsure of how these jars/canisters were going to work, whether they'd be too big or small, but it turns out they're just what I was looking for. After many years of use, the old cotton ball and Q-tip containers my kids had were scratched and ready to retire. Now that they have a longer counter, these jars fit side by side with their daily needs at their reach. I bought a set of three glass ones originally, but hesitated to put them in their bathroom for fear of finding out that they broke the glass, so I went with these instead. They look very high-quality, very shiny, and they each hold a lot of items. I love looking at these jars. They make the counter look neat!" —Mushi2Anone
Get a set from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two colors, three sizes, and a multipack).
13. A slim cutlery organizer for anyone whose silverware drawer is starting to look more like a junk drawer. The sleek design will give you so much more room for other random kitchen tools.
14. An easily washable drip catcher to automatically mop up any water splashes and stop the back of your sink from getting gross and mildewy.
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
Hustle and Sew Shop is a small Etsy shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.
Get it from Hustle and Sew Shop on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
15. A sleek yet sturdy carry-on suitcase with a ridiculously helpful front compartment for your electronics, passport, chargers, snacks — you know, the essentials. Now you won't have to rummage through your overstuffed suitcase just to find your laptop.
I recently took this on a two-week trip to Italy and I cannot rave about this enough. It's sleek and slim, yet surprisingly spacious — seriously, I was able to fit SO many extra clothes thanks to the built-in compression pad. The front compartment was the perfect place to store my laptop, passport, AirPods, and other essentials I wanted easy access to. If you're looking to upgrade your old carry-on to something lightweight, sturdy, and spacious — this is it!
Get it from Monos for $305+ (originally $321+; available in 10 colors).
16. And a set of packing cubes — they'll help you keep all your clothes separated and organized and save you some space in your crowded carry-on! All my fellow over-packers — this is for us!
Each set comes with a small, medium, large, and extra-large cube, a shoe bag, and a laundry bag.
Promising review: "I have been on the fence about buying packing cubes for two years! I wasn’t sure if they would really make a difference in my packing or not. However, I am so glad I decided to get some! I have looked at many brands but I am happy I decided on this one! These are made from a great material and are super cute! This is one of the few brands that include both a shoe bag and a dirty linen bag! ... I was actually able to close my luggage with ease for the first time. These keep your clothes clean and organized. It makes packing and unpacking a breeze." —Cindy U.
Get a set of six from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in 11 colors).
17. A leather electronics organizer so you'll have a neat and tidy spot to keep all of your charging cables. There are nine slots for everything from USB cords to headphones, so you'll no longer have to fumble around with a tangled mess in your backpack.
Mr. Crafter is a small biz that specializes in personalized leather travel and tech accessories.
Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful! The custom lettering came out perfectly and it can easily hold two battery packs and all the cords we could ever need for traveling with cellphones, iPads and our Switch. So pleased with the craftsmanship! Wonderful purchase. <3" —Sarah Kavaljian
Get it from Mr. Crafter on Etsy for $39.80+ (originally $56.86+; available in two sizes, in black or brown, and several engraving options).
18. A sleek stand that will finally give you a place to rest your spoons and pot lids instead of awkwardly laying them on the counter and hoping they don't leave a mess for you to clean up later.
Promising review: "I personally always hate it when you pull off the lid of something and the lid is leaking water everywhere while being super hot. With my new solid-surface counters, I definitely don't want to set the lid on there and ruin them and putting it on the stove top is either annoying due to the water mess or impossible if you are using the whole stove.
This was made for the fussy new-home person like me. I can now set the lid down down safely and not worry about where all that hot water is going." —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
19. A sleek pill case with 10 compartments so you can ditch the bulky bottles for something that's way easier to slip in your pocket.
Promising review: "Love love love these!!! I have a lot of medications that I have to travel with and some of them are very expensive or very important and I get so worried I will lose some. These hold so many pills and have labels for each and they are so easy to open and fill but they also stay closed and seal well!" —Britney
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.97.
20. A Crosley record player — because it's time to upgrade the cheap suitcase-style player you mostly bought for the aesthetics. Nothing says adulthood like spending your nights at home spinning your favorite records — even if that record is Hilary Duff's Most Wanted. Guilty.
I've become a bit obsessed with vinyl in the last year and used to own one of those very cheap but oh-so-cute suitcase-style record players that everyone else has. While it got the job done, I noticed a lot of my vinyls sounded distorted and shaky (If I'm listening to a masterpiece like Beyoncé's Renaissance I need it to sound immaculate! Listening to "Pure/Honey" in anything less than crystal clear quality is unacceptable!), so I was excited to upgrade to something a bit nicer. Using the Crosley C100 has made me realize why people love vinyl — all my records sound super crisp and I'm noticing little details in songs that I've never noticed before. Just note that this doesn't have a built-in speaker, though it does have Bluetooth capabilities! If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go listen to a classic rock album — like Lindsay Lohan's A Little More Personal (Raw).
Get it from Amazon for $229.95.
21. A cord-managing box to cover the unsightly, tangled mess of cords under your desk and make you feel like the productive professional you pretend to be.
Promising review: "This is the third box I have ordered and I am still happy with this product. It keeps the cats from turning off my power strip when they zoom behind the couch. The first two I ordered were all white, which was fine for where I placed them. With this purchase I went with the wood grain top which blends in more easily with the surrounding area. I would, obviously, purchase this item again." —Susan Beattie
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five colors and as two packs).
22. A bamboo toilet topper tray so you'll have a perfect place to store extra toilet paper rolls or anything else you've run out of room for under the sink. It'll make it seem like the random pile of stuff is there for a reason.
Promising review: "This is a great tray for the back of a standard toilet! I used mine as a decorative piece, but I plan to order a second for my master bathroom to hold Q-tips, an extra roll of toilet paper, etc. I love the way it looks!" —A. Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles).
23. A felt handbag insert with several pockets and compartments that will stop your purse from becoming an endless black hole of nothingness. Just imagine reaching into your bag and finding your lip balm on the very first try.
Promising review: "My summer handbag has no dividers, so everything falls into a lump together. I was so pleased to find the smaller slender option for this organizer. It slides down into my purse with room on the sides to spare - this is exactly what I wanted since it lets me put things into the organizer and then other things outside of it on either side. I ordered the gray color and am very satisfied with the construction and fabric used." —Jay
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five sizes and 16 colors).
24. 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.
Promising reviews: "This little thing works so well at containing the cord. It makes my mixer all neat and tidy. I love this!" —Isabelleosborne21
3D Home Solutions is a small Etsy shop based in Frisco, Texas.
Get it from 3D Home Solutions on Etsy for $8 (available in three colors).
25. A handheld garment steamer, because we're all way too grown to be walking around in wrinkled clothes. This nifty device only takes 30 seconds to heat up and provides up to 15 minutes of steaming power.
Promising review: "I'm a TV wardrobe stylist, and I do a lot of steaming. This is hands down the best steamer I've ever used. It doesn't spit water out, warms up very quickly, and will steam multiple garments before it needs a refill. I love that it has a button and a lock to keep it on (my last one just turned on... no button to pause the steam). The brush attachment is awesome, and pulls the fabric as you steam, which pulls the wrinkles out more quickly." —Monkaloo
Get it from Amazon for $31.97+ (available in three colors).
26. A Power Dash carpet cleaner so lightweight and compact you'll actually look forward to all your future deep-cleaning sessions. It features a powerful brush specifically designed to tackle your pet's nastiest messes, and it uses the power of 🔥 HeatForce 🔥 to quickly dry your carpets so you won't have to step on a wet floor for hours afterward.
Promising review: "I freaking love this thing. It's small but extremely powerful! The soap that comes with it is excellent! When I ran out I bought a gallon of it! The amount of cat hair this thing sucks up is wild! I'm six months pregnant and have absolutely no trouble with this thing. It snaps together easy to fill and change water. I wish I could give it 10 stars." —Bee Fowler
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (also available in various bundles).
27. A Bartesian cocktail maker, which is basically a Keurig for mixed drinks! If you're clueless when it comes to making at-home cocktails, this will take all the guesswork out and save you some money on overpriced drinks. All your guests will be SO impressed.
Check it out on TikTok here!
I used to work as a bartender, so anytime I'm with my friends I end up becoming the designated drink-pourer by default. The problem? I was ridiculously bad at it then and I'm ridiculously bad at it now. If a drink requires more than two ingredients, I probably can't make it 🙃.
Thankfully I had a chance to try out a Bartesian, and it'll now handle all bartending duties for me! It's super easy to use: just fill each glass container with your liquor of choice, insert a cocktail capsule, choose your desired strength, then sit back as it pours you a perfectly crafted drink. I had family over recently and the Rum Breeze and Cosmopolitan were huge hits. If you entertain often, you'll want this on your bar cart ASAP.
Get it from Amazon for $369.85+ (available in two colors).
28. A set of spice-gripper clips because your kitchen is way too small to not be utilizing literally every single inch of space inside your cabinet. Think of all the cabinet space you'll be saving!
Promising review: "OMG, I love these things! Such a simple idea; how did I ever live without them? ... They hold all different circumferences of spice bottles. If some spices are too big to place all in the same connected row, you can cut off a tab and separate them. It doesn’t really affect the items on the shelves; you just have to push them back a little (maybe half an inch or so), so the spices have clearance when the door is shut." —Bridget D.
Get a set of six from Amazon for $13.97 (available in three colors and in sets of four).
29. A set of game-changing cooling "hotel" pillows filled with a soft down alternative that's not only extra breathable, but also bounces right back so it always keeps it fluffy shape. If your pillows always end up flattened and out-of-shape, you absolutely need these in your life.
Bonus: these are fully machine washable!
Promising review: "After looking for pillows everywhere in stores and not being satisfied, I decided to trust a TikTok that I saw featuring these pillows and checked out the reviews here and saw the hype. Decided to trust this hype and order two of my own, and they are SERIOUSLY THE BEST PILLOWS EVER! Trust the reviews. Took two minutes to fluff up to use and both my fiancé and I are having the best sleeps now." —Ellen
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $34.92+ (available in two sizes).
30. A Little Green upholstery cleaner because all the upholstery in your home is probably way overdue for a good cleaning even if they don't look dirty. You'll love it so much, you'll probably bring it out to your car to help spruce up the interior. Basically, it'll be your new best friend.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved it. Looked for it online, and on Walmart they were about $150 for some reason?? Got it here, and I am LOVING IT. Things definitely look cleaner. Spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. if you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos
Get it from Amazon for $123.59+ (available in two styles).
31. A reusable and machine-washable duster that fits onto the Swiffer duster handle so you can stop wasting money on the flimsy disposable refills. These will quickly get rid of the layer of dust that's been accumulating since spring. No judgment.
Promising review: "LOVE the washable duster attachments. These are SO soft and such great quality. The stitching is strong and I don’t worry about anything coming apart. We use ours with our swifter duster wand and it fits perfectly. If you’re looking for a more sustainable item, this is one for you." —Cassie Couch
TS Designs US is a small Etsy shop based in West Leroy, Michigan.
Get it from TS Designs US on Etsy for $4.49 (originally $4.99; available in 10 colors).
32. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser with an airtight design to keep your bread fresh for way longer and make it SO easy to grab a slice. No more fumbling around with those annoying twist ties!
Check it out on TikTok here!
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 $14.92.
33. A pet hair remover that will pick up each and every stray hair your fur baby leaves in its wake. It's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory or making your car's seats look presentable again.
Promising review: "I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand-new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open, empty it out. Done." —Ian K.
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
34. An electric fabric shaver to get your cozy sweaters back in shape once fall rolls around again. It also works on couches, car upholstery, and just about any fabric that needs a touch up.
Promising review: "I had low expectations for this, but it's AMAZING! I have a couple of pairs of Lululemon leggings that had some pretty bad piling. Instead of getting rid of them, I figured it was worth a shot to fix them. This little device is seriously awesome. I am shocked at how well it took off the little fuzzballs that I thought was impossible. They now look in like-new condition. Where has this been all my life?! Get it!" —SRoss
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors and two charging options).
35. A genius brush and squeegee combo so you can just 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.
Promising review: "LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" —Prime Time Review
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
36. A two-pack of reusable mop pads because it's time to say goodbye to the wasteful disposable ones you've been spending way too much money on. These even have helpful Velcro straps so the pad won't go flying off when you're scrubbing your kitchen floor.
They're compatible with both the original Swiffer and the Swiffer Wet Jet!
Promising review: "The Velcro closure alone is worth the purchase. It was really easy to put on (no more pinched fingers) and the hold is very strong. No more having to handle the dirty, drippy sheets to try to reattach them in the middle of cleaning the floor. I noticed that my floors are cleaner because the microfiber absorbs more and doesn't just push the grime around the floor. Also, these can be washed in the washing machine for the next use." —Rosemary P.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99.
37. A granite and stone cleaner — not only will it have your countertops looking ready for the pages of Architectural Digest, but it also kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria.
38. And a set of 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.
Promising review: "I love these! Since I started using them my sheets haven’t popped off once and that used to be a multiple times a night problem because I toss and turn when I sleep. Thank you TikTok!" —Gabby
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.95+ (available in three colors and also in packs of eight).
