    Promising review: "This product is a MIRACLE! I can't believe how well it worked. Seriously unbelievable. One application and my coffee table looks great again. EASY to use, nothing special required. While I was watching TV, I used an old cloth/rag and spread it on. As easy as that. Nothing else worked on my abused coffee table, this stuff did. I HIGHLY recommend this product." —Carol L. Hill

    Price: $9.98

    2. An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip because you're tired of tangled cords being a big ole eyesore and preventing your furniture from actually being pushed up against the wall.

    Promising review: "After rearranging our bedroom, my fiancé and I discovered the only outlet on the wall was right in the middle which happened to be where the bed was placed. We needed plugs for our phones, lamps etc...and hated we had to use a cord that stuck out. No matter how we situated the cord or bed, we were not able to push our mattress against the wall, hence causing the pillows to slide back behind the bed 🙄 This little gem was the perfect solution. It’s ultra sleek and fixed the problem immediately! Very simple to use and install. I’d recommend to anyone!" —MissRaquel

    Price: $23.95+ (available in seven styles)

    3. A desktop whiteboard designed to fit comfortably between a keyboard and monitor, so there's always a place to write all your absolutely-cannot-forget reminders instead of hunting down that sticky note from this morning's meeting.

    The environment will even thank you for reducing your paper use. The whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, accessory channel (to hold the marker), and a storage drawer.

    Promising review: "Never thought something analog would be SO useful in my daily routine. I work from home and am constantly project managing multiple complex strategic projects. Having pertinent information directly in front of me and top of mind has done incredible things for my productivity. Never would have imagined it would make such a difference. For a nominal investment, I highly recommend it if you have trouble keeping up with things." —Captainflapjax

    Price: $30.08+ (available in five styles)

    4. A pack of Miracle-Gro plant food spikes for helping all your plant babies live their healthiest, happiest indoor lives without your constant tending. One fertilizer spike continuously feeds plants with nutrients they need to thrive for up to two months!

    Promising review: "My mother has always used the MiracleGro plant food spikes, so I grew up familiar with them. Of all the products out there, these are the easiest to use and have never burned my plants. It works like a charm for plants that are droopy and out of sorts!" —BlueFug8

    Price: $2.79 for a 24-pack

    5. A fast-acting air purifier if you're looking for a quick and easy way to eliminate airborne allergens in your home. Three-stage filtration works to trap pet dander, pollen, odors, and more so you can breathe a little easier — literally.

    a reviewer photo of a clean filer on the left, and a dirty filer on the right

    The purifier filters allergens, mold, pet dander, dust, smoke, and cooking odors, and covers up to 219 square feet. Plus, there's a smart indicator to let you know when it's time to put in a new replacement filter.

    Promising review: "I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes — two or three times daily, and general cleaning — I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits' end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished — no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! I also enjoy the nightlight. Very helpful without disturbing sick sleepy babies recovering from illness." —victoria Mohagen

    Price: $74.98+ (available in black and white)

    6. A shutter dishwasher magnet so debates over the state of the dishes can be put to rest, and you can avoid fights over how that dirty fork got mixed in with all the clean ones.

    Promising review: "I bought this because of a TikTok video. Super cool and now nobody has to ask me if the dishes are clean or not." —D. Washington

    Price: $6.39+ (available in four styles)

    7. A pack of sticky stakes that'll FINALLY trap the flies and gnats that have been living rent-free in your home ever since you bought your first houseplant.

    BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga swears by these. In her own words:

    "There is NOTHING more irritating than gnats or any other tiny insects invading your home. I have these Sticky Stakes in every potted plant I own and they actually really work! Each pack comes with seven traps, so feel free to stock up."

    Price: $6.51 for a pack of seven traps 

    8. A fluffy throw blanket because it's got all the cuddle-worthy plush of the popular Barefoot Dreams blankets for a fraction of the price. "I already have enough throw blankets" said no couch-loving homebody ever.

    Promising review: "I love everything about this blanket. The color is pretty and the texture is soft and elegant and the blanket is large, warm, and lightweight. I will probably buy more of them." —Amy Allshouse

    Price: $29.99+ (available in two sizes and in 11 styles)

    9. A Baseboard Buddy with an extendable handle to save your knees, back, and shoulders from the pain of crouched-over cleaning. This utilizes a contoured head that conforms to the shape of baseboards and door moldings with reusable cleaning pads that trap and lock dirt with a simple swipe.

    The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. 

    Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl

    Price: $24.99

    10. A six-outlet extender with two USB ports and a built-in night-light for quickly powering ALL your devices (yes, even those ones with huge charging cords) while freeing your feet from the tangled wire nest under your desk.

    Promising review: "So happy that I bought this beautiful wall charger. It looks much more expensive than what I have paid. The six outlets are so nicely positioned that I can use all of them at the same time. Two USB outputs are ideal for charging our phones. Highly recommend!" —Elaine

    Price: $17.97

    11. A pack of bedsheet suspenders if you're tired of waking up to a fitted sheet that refuses to stay put. These adjustable bands are super easy to install and work to keep your sheets appropriately tucked no matter how much tossing and turning you get up to during the night.

    Promising review: "These are definitely worth the price. My significant other and I apparently run marathons in our sleep, so the fitted sheet and mattress pad came off the bed without fail. We own a double pillow-top mattress and they haven't stretched out while holding a fitted sheet, (that shrunk in the wash), plus two mattress pads. They hold them firmly to the bed with no slipping. No damage has been done to the sheets, either." —Michelle K

    Price: $12.99 for a four-pack (available in two sizes and three colors)

    12. A drawer divider set so you can skip the part of the morning where you make yourself late digging for a matching pair of socks.

    This set includes four bins: a six-cell (for scarves and ties), an eight-cell (for underwear, briefs, and ties), a seven-cell (for bras), and a 24-cell (for socks).

    Promising review: "No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." —M. Hanson

    Price: $14.87 (available in seven colors)

    13. A gold metal moon phase garland that's so balanced and serene you'll be ~over the moon~ every time it catches your eye.

    Base Roots is a woman-owned small biz creating modern home decor delights with a charming Polaroid-picture feel. 

    Promising review: "I am absolutely in love with this statement piece! The moons are so well crafted and the metal doesn't feel cheap. The packaging was so cute I want to keep it. Even came with a cute little care card. Perfect to help brighten up any room in your house!" —Roriann

    Price: $18.99+ (available in two styles and also in silver)

    14. A jar of clear Museum Gel because just a tiny bit is needed to keep your favorite vase, glassware, or other breakables from falling off their perch in the case of an earthquake or, more likely, your curious cat.

    Promising review: "A little goes a long way and it works perfectly! We needed this for Southern California's earthquake-prone geography and the glass art on glass shelves. We were able to affix the gel easily and everything stays put now. You can barely see the gel through the glass shelf. The amount you need is very small so I nearly have a full container left and I was able to attach all the items shown in this picture. I could have done 10–15 sets of shelves just like this." —Karen Gunther

    Price: $13.97

    15. A wall-mounted toothbrush station to clear counter clutter, prevent goopy messes, and dispense the perfect amount of toothpaste on your brushes every time. It's much more sanitary than leaving out uncovered brushes *AND* it conveniently holds four rinse cups.

    It holds five toothbrushes and the two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube. 

    Promising review: "You need one! I love this! So easy to install and holds nice and tight to the wall. The toothbrushes sit nicely in the holder and are easy for my kids to grab. The two gargle cups are nice but we added little Dixie cups to ours instead. The toothpaste function works really well and isn’t messy for our kids. I highly recommend this!" —Sarah C.

    Price: $17.79+ (available in three colors)

    16. Some drywall repair putty for a quick and easy way to pretend those holes in the wall never even happened. Snagging this roll-on formula is a small price to pay compared to the potential of not getting back your security deposit.

    Amazon

    Erase-A-Hole is a family-owned small business selling a patented blend of wall repair putty invented by a professional with over 20 years of drywall experience.  

    Promising review: "Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed — this cuts the time/effort down! Just rub over the place in need of patching and wipe off the excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former Wi-Fi router and modem, other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use." —Amanda

    Price: $11.89

    17. A set of shelf dividers if you've got piles of jeans, towels, and leggings that always start organized but eventually just become one messy super pile in your closet. 

    Promising review: "I love these! I just have a shelf on top of my closet. I keep my leggings there. These dividers separate the leggings and make everything so much more organized. I’m buying more to do my linen closet! You need these!" —Lynn Blue

    Price: $15.04 for two

    18. This Wi-Fi-enabled robot vacuum so you can get the floors cleaned even when you're not home. Easily schedule regular cleanings from the app and allow this little bot's three-stage cleaning system and built-in dirt detector sensors take care of the rest. 

    Promising review: "Worsening health made regular vacuuming an exhausting, painful trial (I got to the point that I was trying to vacuum sitting down.) But this little thing is a life-saver. It cleans well and it's great to be able to get clean floors and carpets without pain and exhaustion. The best part, I think, is that cleaning the unit is so much easier than the traditional vacuum I used to have (where trying to clean out hair that wrapped up around the beater bar required a screwdriver and some brute strength.) On this, the brush and the other bits that get the dirt/hair, etc. into the vacuum just pop out and pop back in. (BTW, I found that a regular old seam ripper is great for getting long hair out of the brush part.) Same with the dirt cup thing (that collects all the dust, etc.) Pops out to be washed or just wiped out with a paper towel and pops back in. I absolutely adore this gadget and would never go back to a regular vacuum." —Lynda T

    Price: $245.99+ (available in three styles). 

    19. These cooling Mellanni bed sheets that boast a wildly impressive 240,000+ 5-star ratings, and for good reason. This affordable set is made from top-quality microfiber that's fade-, stain-, and wrinkle-resistant but, most importantly, incredibly soft. 

    Reviewer image of blue sheets

    Depending on which size you choose, you'll get one flat sheet, up to two fitted sheets, and up to two pillowcases.

    Promising review: "These sheets…so soft and they are cooling! I didn’t know there was such a thing, but IMMEDIATELY ordered when I saw them! I’m a hot sleeper and have to have two fans on and that still isn’t enough sometimes. There is nothing better than soft, slick, cool sheets. I have a very thick and tall king mattress and the pockets were deep enough to cover no problem. I will be buying more of these!" —KBOYD

    Price: $34.97+ (available in sizes twin–split king, with or without deep pockets, and in 42 colors)

    20. Plus, a beyond comfortable Casper pillow because it's soft on the outside yet firm on the inside to support any way you sleep.  Back, side, stomach — this pillow has you covered.

    Promising review: "With my previous pillows I would wake up with a sore neck every morning. I don't know why it took me so long to buy these! They're super fluffy but also have firmness too. I look forward to going to bed. My neck is no longer sore when I wake up. Even my husband loves his. I'm so happy with them I may buy a Casper bed when it's time to buy a mattress because I love the pillows so much I'm now a fan of this brand." —Denise Cruz

    Price: $40.50+ (available in two sizes)

    21. A set of reusable wad-free pads to prevent laundry day from being derailed by tangled bedsheets. These help maintain a balanced washer drum, reduce dry times, and prevent wet clothes from getting trapped in the sheets. 

    Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic by Cyndi Bray, who learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. You might recognize them from Shark Tank!

    Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

    Price: $19.99 for two

    22. An oh-so-clever spray bottle hanger for space-efficient storage of your entire cleaning arsenal. With tool-free installation using standard Command strips, you can be sure they won't cause damage to your cabinet doors or walls. 

    Promising review: "Let's face it, Command products ROCK! This was perfect for our truck camper under the sink to hold a small, refillable spray bottle of 409 to clean the kitchen. It has literally hung by this Command hanger for 3,000 miles now — bumpy roads, up and down hills, you name it. Everywhere we've gone, and neither the bottle nor the Command hanger have ever been found down. Still hanging in there like the day I stuck it. Works AWESOME!!!! It also keeps the bottle out of the way by tucking it up to one side under the sink. PERFECT!" —Jenn

    Price: $7.98

    23. A pack of adhesive cable clips if you're tired of crawling under your seat yet again to fetch fallen charging cords.

    a reviewer photo of the cable clips mounted on a car dashboard each holding a cord

    Promising review: "Love these! This solved the problem of unplugging something (iPad, phone, etc.) and having the cord fall off my nightstand. Such a small thing, but it really helps keep things organized  especially if it’s something you leave plugged in." —D. Davies-Uttech

    Price: $7.97 for six

    24. A set of Wonder Hangers so you can utilize every last bit of available closet storage with this cascading design that can support up to 30 pounds per hanger.

    a reviewer photo of the same hanger with the clothes cascading down to save space

    Promising review:  "These are so clever and versatile! I live in an old house with tiny closets so I have to get creative. These are great because they can be used hanging horizontally or vertically. I also found they work great for hanging camisoles and tank tops. I can see what I have and take just the one I need!" —Therese Van Heuveln

    Price: $13.99+ for a pack of 10 (available in three colors and four pack sizes)

    25. A stylish rechargeable electric lighter that's windproof, splashproof, and just overall very nice to look at. Buy it once and forever enjoy an upgraded candle experience.

    Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this on a TikTok and knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite3012

    Price: $10.99+ (available in four colors)

    26. A twinkling string light curtain because proper mood lighting is a one-way ticket to liking any room in your home A LOT more. 

    Diffuse the lights with chiffon curtains to really up your home's hygge factor.

    Promising review: "I bought this product to liven up my apartment, and I love it! It arrived quickly and was easy to set up. The only issue I have was that the cord for the plug is WAY too short, I had to buy a cord extender so I could plug it in. But the lights are very soft, not too bright. Perfect! There are many different settings too for the lights to glow, or blink in. Definitely a bang for your buck.👌🏽" —Chloe

    Price: $19.99+ (available in two sizes and seven color options)

    27. A quilted chenille floor pillow to bring the cozy vibes all the way down to the floor with a chic, tufted design that's easy on the eyes, too.

    Big plus — this insulated strip also stops air conditioning from escaping out of the crack under the door, saving energy and money!

    Promising review: "Product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation, I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out, until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Hernandez

    Price: $8.97+ (available in two sizes and in four colors)

    29. These smart LED bulbs with MILLIONS of colors to choose from for turning any standard lamp into a smart device capable of nearly endless lighting options.

    Promising review: "These are easy to control with their app, and setting up different rooms was very easy. We love the preprogrammed effects such as candle. Integration with Alexa was also very easy and now she controls multiple rooms. Great value for the money." —Brent Wood

    Price: $31.46+ (available in three styles) 

    30. A self-contained hydroponic garden if you'd enjoy instant access to fresh herbs without a trip to the grocery store. Complete with herb seed pods, this indoor garden allows you to grow up to six different plants on your countertop in water. No soil = no mess. 

    Promising review: "I got this as a birthday present for my husband, the classic man who's impossible to buy for, and he was thrilled with it. He's a by-the-numbers kind of guy, and followed the directions carefully. As a result, all six of the herbs have germinated, and we are already using some of them (basil, thyme and dill) only three weeks later. One thing: the light is much brighter than I expected. The pictures show it as a pleasant glow, almost a night light. It's bright. The timer keeps it on for 15 hours a day, so hopefully there's a place in your house where it won't reflect off the TV screen or light up somebody's bedroom." —Mary B.

    Price: $96+ (available in two sizes and in four colors)

    31. A smart garage hub and sensor so you'll never have to second-guess whether or not you closed the garage door before leaving. With this, you can control the door from your phone, give access to friends and family when you're away, and even get real-time door activity notifications for unparalleled peace of mind. 

    This works with the free myQ app for iPhone or Android to help you get connected with your very own smartgarage. You can also give access to friends or family, create a close schedule, and receive real-time notifications about garage door activity. 

    Promising review: "This is great. I like having control of my garage from my phone. I can open and close my garage from anywhere and get notifications if my garage is opened or closed or if I forget to close it." —MrClean

    Price: $28.99

    32. A pop-up silicone drain protector because protecting your drain from hair means protecting yourself from having to pull a wet woolly mammoth out of your pipes in the future.

    Promising review: "This has been my saving grace!! No longer do I have to routinely pull 3-foot-long strands of old goopy hair up out of my drain. Catches everything. Must-have for pop-up drains!!" —Chels

    Price: $11.99

    33. A pack of motion-activated lights with built-in solar panels to tackle dark trouble spots around your home's exterior. If you're tired of tripping up the front stairs or standing in a pitch-black yard while taking out the dog, these solar-powered lights are your solution.

    Promising review: "I purchased these to cover the side of my house. Installation was easy and I left them outside for two days to charge. The light coverage was about what I expected from them and do the job well. The motion sensitivity covers all the side and lights turn on. It has rained about three times and still work great and hoping they last for a long time." —J. Argueta

    Price: $32.99 for a set of four when you clip the 60% off coupon

    34. A multitasking LED alarm clock with two USB ports for charging devices overnight without cluttering your nightstand with approximately 800 extension cords. Plus, it's pretty and can double as a little bedside mirror!

    Promising review: "Let’s be honest. There are tons, and I mean tons, of clock options out there, but the reality is that majority of them are hideous. I wanted a clock that was both functional and looks great. This product is exactly that. I find the second dim level perfect. Bright enough without being blinding. Having 12-hour and 24-hour options is great. The USBs on the side make charging small devices a breeze. Guests are always complimenting the clock and asking where I got it. Highly recommend!" —Catherine

    Price: $23.95 (available in 12 colors)

    35. A set of rustic floating wall shelves so you can jazz up your walls with a dash of stylish storage. These sturdy shelves provide easy access to everything from spices to toiletries, and even include a detachable bar ideal for hanging towels or kitchenware.

    Each of these shelves can hold up to 40 pounds and has a detachable towel bar.

    Promising review: "I wanted to add a few low profile shelves to our primary bathroom and these were the perfect fit for the side wall! They allow us to remove clutter like electric toothbrushes and items too tall for the drawers from the sink. It's a nice look also." —Jay Rob

    Price: $21.99+ (available in seven colors)

    36. frameless wavy vanity mirror that adds an unexpected cool-factor no matter where you opt to display it. In the bathroom? Groovy. Bedside table? So chic. Aesthetic bookshelf? 12/10.

    Price: $10.59

    37. A rechargeable silicone cat lamp because it's soft, squishy, and oh so cute like a real cat, but also doubles as a color-changing night-light you can easily take from room to room.
