1. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit to drastically *cut* down on food prep and cleanup time with interchangeable blades that can each be popped into the dishwasher.
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

2. A double layer litter-trapping mat if you're tired of your cats constantly tracking little everywhere. The water-resistant mat features a honeycomb design that traps litter between layers, so you can dump it back into your bin later.
Promising review: "This litter mat is a lifesaver. I was facing a real issue with my two new kittens tracking litter EVERYWHERE so much so that I was considering switching from the litter that I love to something non-tracking because there were no good alternatives. Much research later, I come across this mat. I will say it was bigger and more square than I thought, but I think that is a good thing! It is so large and covers the area well. Now the litter tracking is 99% contained! Best litter mat I have ever had!" —Rachel Ray
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and in three colors).
3. A contoured sleep mask for finicky sleepers who need absolute darkness to get some shut-eye. The concave shape effectively blocks out light, and the adjustable strap helps you get a comfy, customized fit that won't slip off during the night.
Promising review: "I’ve purchased at least a dozen styles of masks over the years. They are either not dark enough, slip off, etc. and then I found this mask! It has literally changed my life!!! I can sleep beyond sunrise and get a full nights sleep!! I ordered a backup in case something happens to the first one. I’ve been an Amazon customer since 1998, ordered thousands of items, and this is my best purchase to date." —Elizabeth A. Lewis
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
4. A set of bed sheet fasteners that work like suspenders to keep your fitted sheet in place no matter how much tossing and turning you get up to during the night.
Promising review: "These work really well! I have a 14-inch mattress, so keeping the fitted sheet well secured has been a struggle until now. One of the best purchases I've made. I followed someone else's advice here of turning the sheet inside out, putting the fasteners on, then putting the sheet on the mattress. Made them very easy to use." —Jayne Voyt
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.95+ (available in three colors).
5. A gel toilet cleaning stamp so you can keep your porcelain throne looking and smelling clean between scrub sessions with approximately zero effort. Cleansing gel releases with every flush, leaving behind a fresh scent and preventing stain buildups.
Each stamp lasts for around 12 days!
Promising review: "I love these 'stamps.' They keep your toilet clean and make the entire bathroom smell fantastic, clean, and deodorized at all times. They are very easy to use, don't over-complicate the instructions. I did, thinking there had to be more to it than that. You just stick it on the inside of the toilet and it will stay in place and clean the toilet each time it is flushed. I love these!" —J. D. Robinson
Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.49.
6. These rust-resistant double-sided shower hooks because changing out your curtain or liner doesn't have to be such a time-consuming ordeal. Plus, they're engineered with tiny roller balls that glide over the rod without the usual tugging and pulling.
Promising review: "Wow. Game changer. I have to change my shower curtain liner a lot because of a humid bathroom (yes, even with a fan on 😬). Though there are greater issues in the world, why wouldn’t you want to save yourself some time with these hooks! Not having to take the curtain off each time I change the liner has really been more satisfying than I had anticipated. Added bonus are the rings themselves; the balls that were added hug the shower curtain rod so they never pop off. Something I never knew I needed either. Love these!" —Jdbouchart
Get 12 hooks from Amazon for $6.29+ (available in seven colors).
7. A pack of stain-lifting pads to take care of stains from tipsy wine nights and pet accidents on your carpet without even having to touch it. Simply lay down the pad, stomp, and let it sit.
Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than 5 stars." —Matt
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48.
8. A patented pet hair remover if Fido's shedding is taking over your home and you're tired of constantly lugging out the vacuum. This roller uses bristles, not sticky tape, to catch lint meaning you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again.
ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers.
Promising reviews: "This is the best thing I have bought on Amazon to date. I have always tried to lint roll comforters and furniture when guests come and/or stay. Finding this gadget has made that task SO much easier and productive! Put this guy in your cart. Yep." —Kelsey Funk
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
9. A wall-mounted organizing rack for managing piles of hard-to-store tools (looking at you brooms and mops) with five slots and six hooks that can support a whopping 35 pounds. No more getting attacked by a falling Swiffer every time you dare to walk by it.
All the instructions and mounting hardware to install are included!
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. I liked it so much that I'm 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. The installation kit was very helpful and I was able to install it without using a drill." —Rob C
Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in two colors and in a multi-pack).
10. A detangling kids leave-in conditioner that'll tame frizz, hydrate curls, reduce breakage, and just generally decrease the amount of time spent fussing over your kid's hair — something you'll both be grateful for.
Promising review: "My daughter’s curly hair is usually filled with tangles in the morning because she tosses and turns in her sleep, but this leave-in has been an absolute lifesaver. It is lightweight, adds shine and definition to her ringlets, and best of all, it’s much easier to run a brush through her hair in the morning. This spray also has a fruity scent that my little girl loves. I highly recommend it to other moms." —AME
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
11. A genius bag cleaner ball so when you reach into your purse or backpack you aren't greeted with gross piles of mystery dirt, crumbs, and sand. And it's reusable! Just take out the inner ball, give it a rinse, and it's good to toss back in your bag.
Promising review: "These are THE BEST. They collect so much dirt and dust from my tote bag and keep everything clean. Super small and easy to clean as well!!" —SueMagoo29
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors).
12. A pair of affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds because work calls and chores are a lot more enjoyable when you're not tethered to your tech by cumbersome cords. Better yet, these come with a handy travel/charging case and connect to your devices in just one easy step.
Promising review: "These are the first pair of wireless buds I have purchased, previously using only the single over ear–type pieces. I expected to have difficulty pairing, but these paired the first time super easy. The volume and sound is significantly better than my old style. Nice little charging and travel case, and a variety of sizes of silicone buds to fit your size/preference. Update — after using these a few weeks I am still very pleased with this earbuds. Good value for the price!" —J. L. Hoover
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors).
13. A stick of nongreasy Gold Bond anti-friction stick to prevent literal sweat-induced friction when wearing skirts or dresses and all the painful irritation that comes with it.
Promising review: "I just used it for five days in 90-degree-plus weather at Bonnaroo music festival in the middle of Tennessee on a farm in June with 100,000 people walking several miles, dancing, and sweating every day. I am happy to report that this product is a lifesaver. My thighs didn't chafe once, and I have big ones! I had to reapply once during the day. I strongly recommend buying this if you have large thighs and need relief from chafing. I couldn't wear dresses or skirts in the heat if I was walking anywhere, and now I live in them because of this stuff! Buy it! It works!" —Carwizzle
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
14. A quick reference magnetic air fryer cheat sheet if you're tired of researching cook times on your phone when your stomach is growling and all you want is to be eating your Trader Joe's potstickers.
The set comes with two different-sized magnets.
Promising review: "I thought it over a few times and then I bought these so I could have a quick reference handy for those times I wanted to make something in my air fryer, which is quite a bit. What surprised me is how often I refer to it. I just throw something in my air fryer glance at the section that lists the item I’m cooking. Press a few buttons on my fryer and I’m in business. No more having to search on my phone with wet fingers. A frivolous buy that turned out to be worthwhile." —PickyExtra
Get it from Amazon for $11.29+ (also available in black).
15. A black eyeliner stamp for taking the anxiety-inducing guesswork out of liquid eyeliner application and making it easy to achieve a perfect cat-eye look every time.
The set comes with two double-ended pens. Each pen has one side with the wing stamp, and the other with a traditional liquid eyeliner tip.
Promising review: "Honestly, I wish I had thought of this. A stamp for the right eye and left eye on the end of liquid eyeliner pencil with a liner on the other side of each pencil. I always mess up the wing but these are perfect! Much more subtle from the front but just what I love." —Mona G
Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (available in three styles and in a two-pack).
16. An all-in-one pancake batter dispenser with a blender ball inside that makes it easy to mix, pour, and store batter all in one easy-to-clean receptacle. More pancakes *and* fewer dishes? Dreams really do come true.
Promising review: "I was a little hesitant to buy this as an addition to my camping supplies. I thought who really needs a pancake batter mixer? How hard is it to mix up some batter in a bowl and ladle it? After using this, I was extremely happy I spent the money and purchased it. It makes mixing the batter super easy and the control it offers when pouring the batter is exceptional. Get one!" —Monkey's Mom
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
17. Some plastic-free laundry detergent sheets so you can get the same stain-fighting clean you've come to expect from your detergent without the bulky plastic jugs and messy blue goo dripping on your floors.
Kind Laundry launched in the midst of the pandemic on a mission to reduce global plastic waste with their planet-friendly alternative to bulky, traditional laundry detergents.
Why did we ever invent liquid laundry detergent when sheet detergent is just so much better? It feels ridiculous that it's taken so long to make this switch. These squishy sheets are so easy to use, mess-free, and are MUCH easier to store than big ole jugs. Plus, the packaging is 100% recyclable cardboard and I still get the same clean I've come to expect from regular grocery store brands.
Get a 60-pack from Amazon for $17.95.
18. A beloved tub of pink cleaning paste because your kid drawing on the walls is stressful enough without fretting about the cleanup. Fortunately, this paste can preform small cleaning miracles on virtually any surface in your home without endless, abrasive scrubbing.
Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do with this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
19. 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.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three colors).
20. A pack of moisture-proof travel pill organizers if you're looking to streamline the plastic bags filled with vitamins and mismatched pill bottles you usually take traveling, or you just need a sleek on-the-go option for your daily medications.
Promising review: "This was a great pill box for our trip. Takes up a lot less space than a normal pill organizer. I loved it so much that I use one everyday and leave an extra in my backpack for days when I’m out. If you are looking for something that is for a few pills, this is wonderful. I would not use this for my older parents as the compartments would be difficult for them to open and might be a bit confusing. Great for both my husband and myself!" —Deana
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.97.
21. A stainless-steel garlic mincer and silicone peeler for making it wayyyyy easier to cook with fresh garlic. The magical peeling device is quick and prevents hand stank, while the simple-yet-effective mincer is much easier to clean than a traditional press.
Promising review: "I love garlic, but I don't enjoy peeling and mincing it. This thing made the work so much faster and easier! It's easier to clean and use than a handheld squeeze-type press. I bought one for my mother after telling her about mine, and she loves hers too :) Great price for a really useful kitchen gadget." —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in black or a random color).
22. Cushy lace-up loafers with over 48,000 5-star ratings that reviewers say are remarkably lightweight, easy to slip on and off, and super flexible — sort of like if a slipper and a sneaker got together and had a best-of-both-worlds baby. And whose daily life couldn't benefit from an added dose of comfort *and* convenience?

Get them from Amazon for $31.47+ (available in women's sizes 4–12 and in 43 styles).
23. A water bottle organizer so you can finally take down the "DO NOT ENTER" sign on that one cabinet that's guaranteed to pummel you with bottles and thermoses every time you open it.
Promising review: "This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I’ve been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and in wide styles).

Promising review: "This product is awesome! I have four kids who take care of the dishes after dinner each night and to say they are messy would be an understatement! This little water catcher has solved the puddle that used to surround my faucet at the end of each night. Thank you!!" —cadencewilliams2
Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and five colors).
25. A set of reusable wad-free pads to prevent laundry day from being derailed by wet, 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.
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

26. A rechargeable hair trimmer if you want silky-smooth legs without partaking in the laborious act of shaving. This palm-sized shaver can be used anytime, anywhere, without soap or water, *and* is perfect for anyone who regularly struggles with nicks, irritation, and razor bumps.
Promising review: "I love love love this shaver. It works great. Easy to use. Its design is a comfortable fit in my hand. The side grips allow no slipping. The more I use it the smoother my legs are. I have coarse hair and trouble with razor burn and ingrown hairs. This unit feels like an exfoliant treatment each time I use it. Really great. No irritation. I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.88.
27. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light for adding an enchanting and not-too-bright glow to any hallway or bathroom when those 2 a.m. gotta-go urges hit.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice so I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

28. Some velvet hangers that'll transform your closet full of chunky plastic hangers that your shirts slip off of into an organized oasis where the hangers are slim, nonslip, and fit together SO much better.
Promising review: "These hangers are amazing. They take up minimal space, are sturdy, and, best of all, the clothes don't fall down from them so it keeps everything looking neat. I have replaced all of the hangers in my closet with these hangers and I couldn't be happier. I am pretty sure I now have double the amount of space. I love this product and would buy it again." —Vida Maars
Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $23.99.
29. A space-saving drawer organizer so you can cram a full 24-piece set of silverware in half the space of a traditional organizer and actually find the cutlery you need when you need it.
Suitable for drawers with a minimum height of 3.25 inches, this organizer fits up to 24 pieces of cutlery.
I am the proud owner of a kitchen that has a total of ONE suitable silverware drawer. I knew this drawer's limited space was going to need to work very hard for my partner and I. Fortunately, being a writer on this team, I knew just the product to turn to and snagged this cutlery organizer, which currently houses all of our silverware, while still leaving over half of the drawer open to store other tools. I have zero complaints, other than that it can take just a smidge of getting used to. since you can't see the tops of your cutlery at-a-glance. Thankfully, this brand thought of everything, and added little icons to each row so you know what's stored in each.
Get it from Amazon for $11.51.
30. A Dawn Powerwash spray bundle because it can all but eliminate the time-consuming dish pre-soak. Just spray, wait a few minutes while it works its magic, and wipe the stains away. It also works great for any other greasy messes you have around the house!
This bundle includes one spray bottle and three refills.
Promising review: “The first place I tried this was in my air fryer basket. It gets caked with the grease that comes from the food. The dishwasher doesn't get it clean. I sprayed this on it and within a few minutes, the soap started turning a brownish color. I sprayed a little more and let it sit for an hour. All of the grease came off with a rinse!! Bonus use: I just used it to get resin off of mine and my daughter's hands!! How did I ever live without this??" —A D

31. Budget-friendly period underwear to make handling Aunt Flo as easy as...well...putting on your underwear. This affordable pair can absorb the equivalent of two tampons so you can go about your day (or night) without fretting about unexpected leakages.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up! For more info, check out BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord's full Bambody period underwear review.
Promising review: "These are amazing and they fit so good! I've worn them on my heaviest days and no leaks whatsoever. Super convenient for those of us that wear pads because you jump out of the shower and put a pair on and you're done! No sitting on the toilet to put a bulky pad in your underwear. I bought three pairs and will definitely buy more so I don't have to wait for them to air dry to re-use! Washing is easy just rinse out and throw in washer on cold water and hang to dry! I love These! Life-changing!!!!!" —Kindle Customer

32. A pack of adhesive cable clips if you're tired of crawling under your desk yet again to fetch fallen charging cords.
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
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.97.
33. A pack of Downy fabric spray for rocking wrinkle-free fits even when there's no time (or energy) to break out the iron. Just spray, give your clothes a few swipes, and watch the wrinkles rapidly fall away.
I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.
34. A mini wallet emergency kit printed with the city skyline of your choice that's stocked with those easy-to-forget provisions that'll save you in a pinch! A bandage for those new shoe blisters, a sewing kit for lost buttons, or a deodorant wipe because — don't lie — we've all been there.
Anne Cate is a Cleveland-based, woman-owned small business creating minimalist keepsakes to commemorate your favorite locations, with over 100 hand-designed skylines depicting cities and colleges from around the world!

It's filled with a bunch of easy-to-forget bits and bobs that will (and have) saved the day in a pinch, all pre-packaged in a stylish and high-quality wallet. It's my perfect little SOS kit.
Get it from Anne Cate for $25 (available in a variety of styles).
35. A mesh car handbag holder so you don't have to break your arm reaching for your bag that's already spilled its contents across the backseat. There's also a pocket for tucking an umbrella or other essentials that are usually left to roll around on the floor.
Car Caché is a small business founded in 2016 by a busy mom-turned-businesswoman who created a patented net to keep your purse or bag from tumbling around in the car while driving.
Promising review: "Um, holy grail! My purse has always taken up my passenger seat. If I have a passenger, it's sitting next to me in the driver's seat. I have a large LV bag that doesn't have a zipper to close it up. Any time I would brake even a tiny bit harder than usual, everything would go sliding off to the floor if I didn't mom-arm it. I got so sick of picking up the contents of my purse (I live in So Cal and drive A LOT). I saw this in a random article on FB, read the glowing reviews, and bought it immediately. YOU GUYS, this is AMAZING! It keeps my purse in place and doesn't slip out on either side. It took all of two minutes to install. LOVE!" —MsJoy
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in tan).
36. A set of time-saving elastic shoelaces to install on those sneakers that just always come untied so you literally never have to tie them again.
Promising review: "These things are amazing. This is my second set because I loved the first one so much. They’re perfect for shoes with laces that always come untied. Also, I can vouch, they work on round laces, which often do no stay tied as well as flat laces. They are very easy to install. Just cut the laces, I use a lighter to melt then ends so they’re not frayed, then slide on the ends and screw in the pointed screw. No issues either time and they look so much sleeker than a bow." —Christine
