1. A high-voltage bug zapper so you can actually enjoy the great outdoors instead of spending the whole time time swatting at bugs and reapplying repellent spray. Just turn it on and this little lantern will provide top-notch 360-degree protection from mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and moths.
Promising review: "We have a huge fly issue due to our farm animals. I have tried a lot of different things with no success. I just got this in today and it has worked absolutely amazing!! I had flies and gnats in a couple of rooms so I plugged this in, and they were gone in a couple of hours!! I moved it outside on our porch and it's hard at work zapping away. I have not had a fly land on me all night!! Also super easy to use — just plug it in. Make sure you have an extension cord due to cord length." —Marci Viens

2. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner for not only cleaning but preventing soap scum buildup. Once a week simply give your shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse off the next day, then — BOOM — you're done and didn't even break a sweat.
Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
3. A wildly popular Bio-Oil because real-life magic (aka science) has gifted us this powerful blend of nourishing oils and vitamins that work to fade scars and lock in moisture without feeling heavy on the skin and clogging pores.
Promising review: "After just about three weeks of use I’ve seen such a positive change in both the evenness of tone and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don’t even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn’t exacerbate my already oily complexion." —L T C
Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in three sizes).
4. A ridiculously charming exfoliating stick that acts as a gentle skin scrub to draw out excess sebum, whiteheads, and blackheads from your pores. And after you're done ogling at all the gunk your octopus friend evicted from your face, just give it a rinse!
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me and smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
5. A detangling kids' leave-in conditioner to 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 4-year-old has long, curly hair. She sleeps like she’s in an MMA ring and subsequently wakes up with hair matted and tangled. She cries if you brush it because it’s obviously a nightmare. I got this and spray it all over her dry hair and HOLY MOLY where has this been?! The brush glides through her hair with no issue. I don't know what magical unicorn made this stuff but I swear by this now!" —Meghan Anne
Get it from Amazon for $8.39.
6. A versatile racerback crop top if you need your wardrobe to multitask as much as you do. This wear-everywhere top is soft, breathable, and supportive enough to work out in, but the sleek silhouette is totally going-out-approved.
Promising review: "I am in love with this top! It’s thick enough to not need a bra but not so thick that it’s hot and uncomfortable. Doesn’t ride up or roll around the seams and edges. You could wear it to work out, be casual, or dress it up. Definitely snagging this in every color." —Shelbie Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors).
7. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can quickly get your feet sandal season ready by removing years' (I repeat, YEARS') worth of hard calluses without endless scraping and scrubbing.
Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for five to 10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.
Promising review: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the callouses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Key2Del
Get it from Amazon for $13.87.
8. A carpet stain remover for lifting those scary stains that make you question if it's time to bring in the professionals. With this around you can get the job done yourself. And the best part? No rinsing or vacuuming required!
9. A pair of anti-chafe thigh bands because your favorite dress is calling to you from the closet, and you should be able to wear it without painful chafing and irritation!
For more intel, check out our full Bandalettes anti-chafe bands deep dive!
Promising review: "We can finally toss the deodorant. These things work! I was hella skeptical, because my thighs are resistant to any sort of chafe defense. My thighs just love rubbing up against each other too much. But that crap has got to stop! I wore these while walking at least five hours at a music festival, and they stayed put without me ever needing to adjust them! I couldn't believe it! My delicate inner-thigh skin was preserved, not a chafe in sight. And they're so romantic looking that I didn't even care if someone caught a peek at that beautiful lace. Way sexier than my usual biker shorts. Love that I can wear dresses all day now without worrying about my thighs overheating." —OceanHips
Get a pair from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 17 styles).
10. An ingenious sandwich cutter and sealer that makes it possible to create your own copycat Uncrustables at home for a fraction of the price. A set comes with three different shapes, but the filling possibilities are endless!
11. An easy-to-use collagen-coating hair mask to fight frizz and make it look like your hair hasn't undergone years of abuse at the hands of bleach, blow-dryers, and curling irons.
Promising review: "I have 4C hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it; it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." —Therese-Claire
Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it, "the miracle product I've been searching for."

12. A TikTok-famous Little Green upholstery cleaner if you want to be shocked and awed by this machine's ability to effortlessly suck up messes and restore furniture, carpets, and even car interiors to their former glory.
Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved 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.
13. An all-in-one hot air brush so you can style, dry, and volumize hair in just one easy step. This gadget combines the heat of a blow-dryer with the shape and bristles of a round brush to make quick, at-home blowouts a breeze.
Promising review: "I have very thick, wavy hair. I can never blow out my hair because it's too hard to hold the round brush and hair dryer in the right spots. THIS!! It is everything all in one and the oval shape makes it so easy to use. It gets really hot. It is a little loud on high, but I've found if my hair is already a little dry then I can just use it on low. I used a blow-dry primer spray to accelerate the drying time and protect my hair. I'm in love! The flat iron always flattens my hair and makes it look dry. This straightens and retains the volume and gives it a soft, nondamaged look." —SAHM2011
Some reviewers with 4a–c curls like the barrel brush, but if you're looking for something to blow out tight curls or coils consider the Revlon one-step paddle brush, which is designed with curlier hair in mind!
Get it from Amazon for $34.88+ (available in two styles).
14. A concentrated allergen spray for a quick and easy way to reduce the presence of airborne and surface allergens from pets, mites, and more. Time to spray away those sneeze!
Allergy Asthma Cleaning Store is a family-owned business making safe cleaning goods for the whole family. If you suffer from pet allergies, it's recommended you spray this daily. For dust mite allergies, try three times a week.
Promising review: "I have horrible allergies. Dust, certain dogs, all cats, pollen, etc. We have a vacation house that is used by many family members and their pets. Nothing has worked. I tried this and it’s amazing. No smell, no residue. I spray it on everything when I arrive and I’m not bothered by any dander at all. No more scratching my eyeballs raw or itchy throats. Just buy it already. Worth it!" —scoop
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
15. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because traditional strips are tough to use, expensive, and can leave you with teeth sensitivity that is, in my professional opinion, NO fun. With this pen you can get fast results WITHOUT the lingering sensitivity.
Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99.
16. A roll-on migraine stick packed with cooling essential oils that's basically a potion for painful headache and migraine relief that's compact enough to put in a purse or pocket!
Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life, and sometimes they hit at the worst moments when I have to miss an important family event. Now I swipe the migraine stick across my forehead and temples, sometimes dabbing a little on my neck and even a little dab below each nostril when sinuses are bad. I lie down in the dark and relax until Imitrex kicks in. At first the scent seemed too strong, but after only two days I loved it! My migraines clear up much faster and I can go on with my day! For milder migraines, especially at night, I use only the stick, which helps me relax and the pain go away. I’ve never used anything like this in my 65 years of suffering and am so thankful I did. Now I’d never be without it! Price is good, too — I’m on a limited budget and one stick lasts a few months." —DebSmith

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
17. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil you apply like a clear coat of polish to give your nails all the cuticle-softening, nail-strengthening nourishment they've been craving.
Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month with me religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement, so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
18. A patented pet hair remover if you need a way to manage Fido's constant shedding that doesn't involve always 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.
Promising reviews: "Finally a lint roller that really works. Now I have an obsessed husband picking up German shepherd hair off the couch. Worth the price paid. It will pay for itself. No more sticky tape rollers!" —Blanca LInda Hatter
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
19. 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.
Promising review: "I thought this would be handy and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean, and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side by side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." —Jerimi
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
20. A vegan exfoliating body scrub for anyone who struggles with persistent KP. This buffs away bumps by combining the benefits of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into one gentle, at-home treatment.
Promising review: So I have keratosis pilaris or goose-like bumps on my bum and have been always super self conscious about it. I’ve used this product five to eight times and they are seriously like GONE. It’s soooo smooth now and I’m super happy. It does say to use once a week but I’ve just been using it every time I shower (which is almost every day lol). I only use a dime size amount and it’s able to cover my bum and some of my legs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who also has pesky bumps on their body. Also this product has no scent which is a plus for anyone who has sensitive skin!!" —Ang M
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes).
21. An absorbent microfiber pillow cover because no one wants a soggy pillow, but sometimes (all the time) you're too tired to blow-dry your hair before bed. This dries your hair while you sleep with its super absorbent microfiber surface and waterproof lining.
Kitsch is a woman-owned small biz creating high-quality self-care tools that are lovingly designed in Los Angeles.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this product. I have been waiting for something like this. So ideal for wet hair after showering. Keeps the product in your hair from absorbing into your pillow case. Game changer!" —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in three styles).
22. A powerful mold and mildew stain cleaner that'll lift the most daunting grout and caulking stains without the backbreaking scrubbing. Just apply the concentrated gel formula, wait six to eight hours, and rinse it off to reveal the pearly white grout you never thought you'd see again.
Promising review: "We recently bought an old house that had last been renovated in 2006. In that time the shower did not get much cleaning and had some mold growth, especially around the seals. We tried using bleach and other mold remover products with partial success. After one application of this one, the mold was gone." —Darryl Campbell
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
23. A bottle of all-natural stain remover to revive fabrics you thought were a lost cause with plant-based ingredients that are safe to use on everything from clothing and car seats to bed linens and cloth diapers.
Promising review: "My favorite off-white hoodie had a huge tomato sauce stain that I had already tried to wash out. I used Tide to Go on it. The stain turned brown, but was still there. I was going to throw it away but thought I’d try this stuff. I soaked the stain with it overnight and ran it through the washing machine. No sign of the stain!!! Amazing stuff!" —Scott Broadbent
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A bottle of wine drops if your before-bed glass of wine too often ends in a pounding headache. A few drops added to your glass works to naturally reduce sulfites and tannins in wine — the frequent culprits of "but I only had one glass" headaches.
Promising review: "Like others, I have had morning headaches after even just one glass of wine. I saw this on Amazon, and all of the reviews were favorable and had lots of detail on how well this product worked. I decided to give it a try, and YES! It does work!!! I personally do not detect a change in the taste profile of the wine, and neither could my sister who also tried it one evening. I use three drops for both red and white. For the price, I would say give it a try because I am so happy that I can now enjoy a glass or two and not worry about the onslaught of an allergic reaction!" —Vellichor
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
25. 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 (also available in black).
26. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker for turning any frozen fruit into a creamy, sorbet-like treat in minutes. This easy-to-clean machine is particularly perfect for vegans and anyone else with a dietary restriction keeping them from getting their ice cream fix.
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

Friendsheep is a small biz creating handmade wool home goods. Their products are handmade by Nepali artisans and are sourced from factories and cooperatives that enforce fair trade labor policies.
Promising review: "These dryer balls really are adorable and make the chore of laundry more cheerful. Be sure and follow the instructions to dry a load of dark clothes the first time you use the black penguin balls. After that, you will have no problem with using them to dry whites or light colors. Dryer balls really work and are a good investment. I am going to be giving these as gifts!" —Auntie m

ScratchPad for Dogs is an Atlanta, Georgia-based Etsy shop specializing in their genius paw maintenance invention.
Promising review: "I bought the scratchpad as a last-ditch effort to trim my dog's very long nails. He won't let anyone touch his feet and my vet suggested putting him under sedation to get the job done. He figured out this 'game' in 15 minutes and his nails look great! I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much for creating an easy and fun alternative to clippers!" —astacy051
Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $44.95+ (available in four styles and three coarseness levels).

30. A bag of pill pockets to make feeding your dog medication a fuss-free affair after they inevitably avoid it in their food. This is an even more delicious (and sneaky) backup plan to ensure they actually take their pills. Don't feel bad for tricking them, it's for their own good.
Promising review: "These are amazing. I've had the hardest time getting my dog to take any pills that I’ve ever had to give him...it’s seriously been borderline impossible no matter what I’ve tried. He sprained his leg and had to take anti-inflammatories for a week; I told the vet I didn’t think I could get them in him, and she recommended these. I was astonished at how easy it was to get my dog to take them with these things...I really wish I’d known about them sooner!!! He likes them better than any of his other treats, and does every trick he knows to get one when he see’s them — it’s a miracle! If you struggle with getting your pet to take pills, don’t waste any more time. Just get these!!" —Customer

Promising review: "Worked beautifully on a recent eight-hour flight from New York City to Frankfurt! Really easy to pair with my Bose noise-canceling earbuds and charges quickly.

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: "I have very hooded eyes and this works great still! Make sure you give extra time to dry though. It’s humid and 85 degrees today and I went to a party and spent time outside and sweated and this eyeliner didn’t budge! The picture is right before bed." —hklep

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.
