1. A portable vacuum because car spills happen and now you can suck them up on-the-go instead of trusting yourself to remember to take care of it later. It comes with a travel case, multiple attachments, and a SUPER long cord that conveniently plugs into your car's aux outlet.
Promising review: "So I saw this product recommended by a TikTok user, so of course I bought it! This car vacuum works wonderfully. The cord is super long — I drive an '08 Prius and I still had cord left after I swept in the trunk! The vacuum has a bristle suction piece, a long narrow one, and a hose like a regular sweeper would have. It comes with one filter inside the vacuum and an additional one with a small brush to help clean it. It also came with the bag that everything fits in and a nice car air freshener! I love this product, it works very well." —Ken
Get it from Amazon for $31.95+ (available in black or white and in a cordless version).
2. An under-desk bike for anyone who struggles to find the time (or energy) for a workout amidst their busy schedule. Now you can flex your multitasking muscles and pedal the day away while you work.
It works with desks as low as 27 inches. If you're tall or you have long legs, you can still use it while working from the couch.
Promising review: "Really perfect for me. I have averaged about 50 miles per day and have lost 4 pounds in one week. Really well built and totally silent. I'm 5'8" and I do have to sit in a low chair but it works well. I do computer work and talk on the phone while burning about 1,000 calories a day! You can't beat that. I was looking at more expensive solutions but I won't look anymore. Completely satisfied." —Phil
Get it from Amazon for $229.
3. A waterproof shower phone holder with a touch-capable screen so you can quit delaying your shower by watching TikToks and just watch TikToks IN THE SHOWER, instead.
Promising review: "I have ADHD and dread showers due to how boring they are, plus some sensory issues (cold and wet is not my ideal state). But now I add some entertaining videos to a playlist and boom, I'm not so miserable in the shower! The case is definitely waterproof, and the sound comes through great." —Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four colors).
4. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit that'll drastically *cut* down on food prep and cleanup time with interchangeable blades that can each be popped into the dishwasher. Less prep = less excuses to procrastinate.
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 similar chopper, 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
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in black or white).
5. A patented pet hair remover if Fido's shedding is taking over your home but not dealing with it is easier than constantly lugging out the vacuum. Thankfully, this lightweight roller is easy to keep on hand, and uses reusable bristles, not sticky tape, to catch lint.
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 $29.95.
6. A digital sunrise alarm clock to help you actually wake up and attack the day instead of hitting snooze for an hour. This clock gradually fills the room with programable light and natural sounds for a gentle, sun-soaked wakeup routine, whether you're usually up before the sun or not.
This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming "wake up" noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before they wake.
Promising review: "I have a hard time waking up in the morning when it's still dark out. This alarm works great; it slowly brightens up over a few minutes and mimics the sun shining in. I really like the sound options and I'm happy with my purchase." —Danica Cunningham
Get it from Amazon for $42.98+ (available in two styles).
7. A pair of affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds because work calls and chores are a lot easier to kick-start when you can listen to a podcast or audiobook without being tethered to your tech by 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 $18.99+ (available in five colors).
8. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner for anyone who struggles with regular cleaning motivation. Once a week, simply give your shower a spray with this, 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 a walk-in shower that I absolutely HATE to clean! This product is a lifesaver! All you do is spray after you shower and leave. Rinse it the next morning or before you next shower, and BAM! You have a clean shower! I know some people commented on the scent, but for me, it really didn't have much of one. But if it cleans my shower like this, I really don't care what it smells like!" —Chris&Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $19.54+ (available in two scents and in two sizes).
9. A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock wrinkle-free fits even when you've put off any ironing indefinitely. 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.
10. A genius bag cleaner ball that'll trap sand, dirt, and crumbs in your purse or backpack all while you go about your regular business. Every so often just give the sticky inner ball a rinse, and it's ready 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 $11.99 (available in three colors).
11. A quick reference magnetic air fryer cheat sheet if the mental block keeping you from prepping dinner is not knowing off the top of your head just how long it'll take to fry your food.
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 $8.99+ (available in black or white and a Spanish language edition).
12. An all-in-one hanging tool with built-in wall markers and a level to remove some of the friction preventing you from finally hanging that art print you bought six months ago.
This is essentially a tape measure with sliding pins and a built-in leveler, which is perfect for anyone who can't keep track of a bunch of different tools (me).
Promising review: "For some reason I’ve always had trouble hanging pictures on the wall. ESPECIALLY pictures with two hangers. A typical picture hanging session used to look like this: measure, measure again, mark the wall, measure again, measure yet again, drill holes in wall, hang picture, step back and look at my CROOKED picture. Repeat. I have no clue why or how my pictures ended up crooked after measuring and leveling so many times. It was quite frustrating and left my wall with lots of extra holes. Well, this tool changed ALL that! It makes it so easy to hang pictures...STRAIGHT...the FIRST time! A chore that used to take 30 minutes now only takes five. Would be a perfect gift for new homeowners." —MommyRN
Get it from Amazon for $14.98.
13. A set of hoodie hangers because your sweatshirts usually end up on the floor for future-you to put off handling. Avoid the chore altogether by giving your cuddly duds an easy-access place to call home that eliminates any fighting with your too-full drawers.
Venalli is a small business based in Overland Park, Kansas with a tight assortment of clever tools to solve your random problems.
Promising review: "I first bought these for my son who owns 20+ hoodies. Worked so well, I bought a set for myself! They hang your hoodie easily in the closet and you can see which is which." —Alleria Stanley
A five-pack from Venalli on Etsy for $18.86+ (available in black and pink).
14. This Wi-Fi-enabled robot vacuum so you can get the floors cleaned without even thinking about it. Easily schedule regular cleanings from the app and let 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
Get it from Amazon for $249.99+ (available in three styles).
15. Or, a bagless, touchless stationary vacuum for anyone ready to ditch their dustpan for something a lot more convenient. Now, when you see dust bunnies lurking in the corner, you don't even need to bend over. Simply sweep in your new vac's general direction, and it'll handle the rest.
Promising review: "I love this thing!!!! I have three long-haired dogs and it just sucks up all that hair. I almost did not get it because of a review saying that it got clogged up quickly. That is not the case. It compacts the hair and doesn't lose the suction. I empty it once a week and I sweep almost every day!" —Christy Sanders
Get it from Amazon for $111.99+ (available in six colors).
16. A Shark Tank-approved Souper Cubes freezer tray that'll help you actually use up your leftovers instead of letting them waste away in the freezer. Each cube fits a serving (1 cup) of soup or sauce so you can enjoy a quick meal without defrosting a huge container and committing to eating the same dish for every single meal.
Souper Cubes is a family-run small business with a passion for better frozen meal prep and food waste reduction! Plus, their products are BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, and it have fill lines on the side of the compartments for half and full cups.
The included lids make these trays stackable so freezer organization is a breeze even if you're short on space.
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned 1/2-cup and 1-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
17. A plant-based jewelry cleaning solution if you're always putting off giving your jewels the regular TLC you both deserve. This gentle wash works double-duty to clean your hands *and* jewelry so your favorite ring is always sparkling like the day you got it.
Shinery is a woman-owned and veteran-operated small business that sells a line of multitasking solutions that clean your jewelry while you wash your hands.
Promising review: "I was pretty skeptical about this product, but I did the simple hand wash, and not only was my diamond super sparkly, but my hands were also super smooth. It's my new 'must-buy' for girlfriends." —Chris Voelker
Get it from Amazon for $28.

18. A gel toilet cleaning stamp to keep your porcelain throne looking and smelling clean with approximately zero effort even if you procrastinate on a proper scrub sesh. 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 $4.67.
19. A hair-removing glove because you're already going to give your pet all the scritches they deserve, you may as well multitask with a massage mitt that will remove hair and help curb shedding.
Promising review: "So much easier than trying to struggle to brush my cat! It is rubbery so my cat was a little cautious of it at first but now she loves it! Makes grooming so much easier and works much better than those wire brushes. Very easy to clean as well!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.79 (available in blue and black).
20. An adhesive under-desk phone holder for upping productivity by keeping your phone out of sight and hopefully out of mind without worrying that you might miss a call.

Get it from Beyond 3D Creations on Etsy for $10.88+ (available in two sizes and in six colors).
21. Or, a timed lock box featured on Shark Tank so tempting treats and distractions are LITERALLY inaccessible for a designated amount of time — from 1 minute up to 10 days! Pre-commitment devices like this one are a scientifically-backed method for combatting decision fatigue and conserving willpower so you can fly through that to-do list faster.
Kitchen Safe is a small business that previously appeared on Shark Tank pitching their locked timer as an effective way to handle temptations and distractions.
Promising review: "This really helps to end chronic procrastination and avoid temptations. For me I would always get distracted by my phone, but now I can finally stay on schedule and finish what I need to." —Lorenz
Get it from Amazon for $69.90+ (available in 16 styles).
22. A pack of stain-lifting pads that'll remove evidence of all the wine stains, coffee spills, and pet accidents on your carpet without the back-breaking scrubbing you'd do just about anything to avoid. Simply lay down the pad, give it a stomp, let it sit, and wait for the magic to happen.
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 $27.49.
23. A multipurpose car seat storage bag if you're notorious for letting trash pile up in the backseat and chronically forgetting to clean it up.

24. A desktop whiteboard designed to fit comfortably between a keyboard and a monitor, so you always have a convenient place to write out all your absolutely-cannot-forget reminders instead of hunting down that rogue sticky note or (foolishly) trusting yourself to remember.
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
Get it from Amazon for $31.29+ (available in five styles).
25. A textile take back bag because cleaning out your closet is long overdue, but it's never quite clear how to responsibly get rid of clothes that didn't make the cut. Now, you can load this bag up with any textile waste (not just clothes), send it back, and enjoy the sweet satisfaction of knowing that your old duds will be given a new life and diverted from landfills.

All textiles types are allowed, including socks, underwear, sheets, pillow cases, towels, linens, shoes, and handbags in any condition.
Promising review: "I always keep a Take Back Bag handy…like one keeps an extra brown paper bag to put recyclables in at the ready. Always a random sock or stained cotton item to throw in there instead of the trash." —Kate C.

26. A pack of biodegradable foaming drain-cleaning pouches for when you're ready to stop ignoring the awful stench and out-of-sight grime living in your garbage disposal and take care of it but with essentially zero effort involved.
Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT
Get a two-pack (good for eight uses) from Amazon for $9.97.
27. A one-handed bug-catching tool so you always have the confidence to trap creeper crawlers and show them the door right when you see them, instead of praying they just magically go dissapear. It's also equipped with a magnifying glass if you want to get a good look at the enemy.
Promising review: "Simple and works well for catching bugs. It’s the classic 'glass and slide a piece of paper under it' method turned into a device where you no longer have to go hunting for a piece of paper or worry about holding it tightly over the glass. Used it to catch and release various small critters in the house out into the yard rather than smashing them. The magnifying glass part works well and it’s interesting to observe the bugs before releasing them." —Patrick
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
28. A 50-page to-do notepad that combines easy organization and top-notch aesthetics to keep you organized and on track with all your personal and work-related tasks. There's nothing quite like the euphoria of crossing something off a list!

It comes with peel-and-stick adhesive strips and three screws for installation!
Promising review: "I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or on your counters. There was one person who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the 'V' closest to you and with it placed in the front, in the right corner, under your cabinet. I followed those directions and it works perfectly and easily. I have already placed an order for another one as a gift for my sister." —cat lover

30. A Dawn Powerwash spray bundle to keep up that dish-doing momentum by eliminating 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
Get it from Amazon for $17.50.
31. A pack of cleaning K-Cups because cleaning your Keurig keeps getting bumped to the bottom of the to-do list. Now you can give your machine regular deep cleans with the same amount of time and effort it takes to make a cup o' joe. Side effects may include better-tasting coffee.
