Promising review: "Where has this gadget been all my life?! I love to cook but I always find boiling water for eggs to be annoying. It's very easy to use and the eggs come out perfect! You just pick how you want to make your eggs, fill the cup with water to the appropriate line, pierce the egg, cover it, and turn on. All in all, it's a great product and I’m happy with this purchase." —Death2Barbie

2. A slide-away storage bag if you're tired of feeling like every waking moment is spent picking up stray Lego blocks and other tiny (aka painful) toys. This drawstring compartment doubles as a play mat, and, when your kid is done, closes in on itself, whisking away toys quicker than you can say, "Put your toys away."
Promising review: "I really like this for my kid's Duplo Lego bricks, but I think it could be used for a lot more than that. I want to get one for my kids train track. The fabric part is really large and would fit the track on it. I found the cleanup is extremely easy; all you do is lift up the fabric and it all goes in the bin. An added bonus, my 2-year-old can dump over the bin and it stays on the fabric part. I also would like to add that I like the fabric on the outside of the bin; it looks durable and good quality." —KFundy
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in four colors).
3. A soft curling rod headband for bringing some "I woke up like this energy" to your styling routine. This set comes with everything you need to achieve flawless waves — no hot tools required. Simply wrap damp locks around the roller, fasten with the provided clip, and catch some Z's knowing that you're in for a fuss-free morning.
Each set comes with a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. These are designed to work with all hair types, but work best if you roll them with damp hair!
Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors).
4. Or an all-in-one hot air brush so you can style, dry, and volumize hair in one easy step. This gadget combines the heat of a blowdryer with the shape and bristles of a round brush to make 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
Get it from Amazon for $39.89.
Some reviewers with 4a–c curls like the barrel brush, but if you're looking for something to blow out tighter curls or coils considering checking out the Revlon one-step paddle brush, which is designed with curlier hair in mind!
5. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner to make regular upkeep and soap scum prevention nearly effortless. Once a week, simply give the shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse, and — 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 $19.54+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
6. A set of daily medication tracking stickers because it turns out you have to actually take your meds consistently in order for them to work — who knew?! This all-in-one system sticks right on any pill bottle, ointment tube, or spray with perforated tabs that track whether or not you've taken your daily dose.
TookTake is a woman-owned small businesses that started as a DIY solution to organizing the founder's many medications throughout her cancer treatment. It evolved into the sticker system you see today.
I have a pretty checkered past when it comes to consistently taking my daily vitamins and medicine. Lately, I've opted for an in-your-face series of phone alarms, but on more than one occasion have absent-mindedly snoozed said alarm only to be be left wondering an hour later if I actually took my pill. That's what I really like about these tracking stickers — the marked tabs give you that answer at a glance reducing the chance for missed or doubled doses. The only complaint is that the tabs can be a little tricky to remove as others reviewers mention, but if you have any semblance of a fingernail it shouldn't give you too much trouble. This is a cheap and discreet solution for forgetful humans who want to stay on top of better taking care of themselves.
Get a three-pack (12 labels) from Amazon for $14.97 (available in 10-day and hourly editions).
7. 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: "I NEVER leave reviews, but I had to do it for this product. I have two girls with curly hair who would cry when it was time to brush their hair after a bath. We tried a few products, but this product beats them all. Shoot, I use this spray on my hair, too. I also spray my girls’ hair in the morning with this spray and rub my fingers through it. Beautiful curls for my girls because of this product." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.69.
8. A hybrid robot vacuum and mop if you want spotless floors without even having to lift a finger. It's safe for use on all floor types *and* utilizes smart navigation for an orderly and thorough cleaning.
Promising review: "We LOVE this! It works so much better than our four other Roombas. It always returns to its home base to charge. It rarely gets stuck on anything. It’s very convenient. Our robot mop is so finicky and never wants to start. This product is so nice! We add water about once a day." —Ali Bruder
Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (clip the $60 coupon at checkout to get this price).
9. A hypoallergenic moisturizing body spray with oat and jojoba oil for when your busy schedule starts cutting into your essential (albeit time-consuming) head-to-toe moisturizing routine. Thanks to the easy, mess-free application, you can get on with your day quicker without making your dry skin suffer.
Promising review: "I’m big on skincare and wanted to add something to my products when I take a quick shower but don’t do a full lotion down. I mean...this smells great and is a thick oil as well. I will always purchase!" —Jacqueline
Get it from Amazon for $9.93.
10. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit so you can 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
Get it from Amazon for $34.97.
11. Plus, a TikTok-famous grape cutter to save loads of time on one of the most unexpected and time-consuming parenting chores — quartering grapes for child-safe snacking.
Promising reviews: "Who buys a grape cutter? Well, a working mom with a toddler! This makes lunch prep so quick and easy!! I recommend to every mom I meet!! 🤗" —Danielle
"A parent's best friend!! This makes my life so much easier, eases my mind sending grapes in my kid's lunch, and saves me so much time!!" —Kaitlin
Get it from Amazon for $11.71.
12. A pack of spiral hair ties because you don't want hair flopping in your face while trying to get stuff done, but you also can't stand the perma-dent regular hair ties leave behind. It's time to say goodbye to your old elastics and all the knotted hair they've unceremoniously ripped from your head.
Promising review: "Love these. I can put my wet hair up in the morning and wear this all day and take the invisibobble out of my hair and there is no evidence (hair dents, crimping, etc.) that my hair had been pulled up all day." —Twixstery
Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $8.20+ (available in five color combos).
13. An auto shutoff outlet that will automatically turn off after 30 minutes. No more frantically trying to remember if you powered down your curling iron before leaving the house! We don't need that kind of stress today (or any day).
Promising review: "I have a very expensive flat iron that doesn't have the automatic shutoff option. I love the iron, but am frequently forgetting to turn it off. This little gadget is the perfect option. When I forget to turn the iron off, this gadget does it for me. No more wondering if I turned off the iron or not as I'm driving to work in the morning." —Polly
Get it from Amazon for $11.59.
14. A real grass pee pad if you spend long hours out of the house fretting if Fido will have an accident or soak through their disposable pee pads. With this customizable subscription service your dog will always have access to an indoor potty option that, because it's real grass, neutralizes odors better than any pad or fake lawn ever could.
Doggie Lawn is a small biz founded by dog lovers looking for a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to other indoor potties.
I live on the sixth floor of an NYC walk-up, so when my partner and I made the decision to get a dog we knew the bathroom situation was something we had to consider carefully. We settled on Doggie Lawn as the best balance of convenience and price, without the environmental concerns I had with relying on disposable pee pads. Our dog took to it immediately, but you can purchase a training spray to help attract more skeptical dogs. It is a live plant, so by the time our next shipment is due to arrive the grass is matted and browning (surprise, surprise, it doesn't stay cute forever), but we've had zero issues with bugs or weird smells. I have asked every human who walks into my apartment if I've gone nose blind to the scent, and they assure me they don't smell a thing. And when we're done, the grass is taken to our nearest compost drop-off — something you could never do with the synthetic lawns. Doggie Lawn has been such a lifesaver for us and we'll be regular customers for the foreseeable future.
Get it from Doggie Lawn for $31.20+ (available in four sizes).
15. Or an enclosed self-cleaning litter box for handling your cat's business without all the time and energy spent scooping. Simply roll the litter box over and an internal sifting mechanism separates clean litter and deposits the waste in the pull out tray for contactless clean-up.
Promising reviews: "Busy mom with two kids and two cats…. This makes cleaning litter so much easier for me and my kids. Trust me, worth the money!" —Janie
"We weren’t sure what to expect from this new type of manual cat box. The innovation is so logical and simple while cost effective. We bought this for our teenage cat. He used it right away. All we do is tilt and roll the entire cat box to the right until you hear a THUMP indicating the clumps land in a built in pull out scoop. Then roll the cat box back to the left so the remaining good litter settles back into the bottom. Then back to center. The scoop is easy to empty. We love it." —Suzanne Edwards
Get it from Amazon for $87.19.
16. A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock 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 $10.88.
17. A quart-size cold brew maker with an airtight seal to skip the coffee shop line entirely with your own ready-made supply of go juice.
Just add coarse-ground coffee into the mesh filter, pour water into the pitcher, screw the lid on (with the filter attached and submerged in the water), let it brew for 12–24 hours, and serve. You can pour it straight over ice cubes, or cut it with water or milk. Read our Tayeka cold brew maker review!
Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do it's magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E
Get it from Amazon for $20 (also available in a 2-quart size).
18. Plus, a pack of NeuroGum because sometimes that afternoon slump hits HARD, but you know downing another cup of coffee is going to mess with your sleep later. This gum quickly delivers the same level of caffeine as a cup of green tea, plus other nootropics to help you maintain focus without the subsequent crash.
NeuroGum is small business dedicated to providing clean and effective energy solutions to help you get more done.
Promising review: "I am a mom of a very active 8-month-old — that means my days are busy, long, hectic and most of the time foggy. I was looking for a caffeine alternative to coffee that I could always have on me when I needed a little mid day boost without having to drink another coffee. Neurogum is IT! It has a subtle flavor and it's easy to throw in the diaper bag. Oh, and the pack is generous! Love this product." —Eleni Fotiadis

19. A plant-based dry shampoo that'll extend the amount of time you can go between washes, absorbing oil and adding some much needed volume to your tired tresses.
Eco Roots is a woman-owned small business on a mission to bring all the best eco-friendly and low waste products together in one, easy-to-shop location.
Promising review: "I do not usually like dry shampoo because of the smell. So many are so strong that they give me a headache. This has a natural smell and it works wonderfully to remove grease and give volume to roots. It is easy to apply with my brush and I love the minimal, plastic-free packaging. The results are seriously worth it! A little goes a long long way. I highly recommend this product!" —Stephanie H.
Get it from Eco Roots for $21.
20. A magical tap drink dispenser if you're tired of constantly cleaning up spills or just hate the regular arm workout required every time your kid wants a glass of milk. This nearly universal tap fits on most non-carbonated water and beverage jugs so you can trust your kiddos to get their own juice in a not-entirely-chaotic manner.
Promising review: "I saw this and had to have it. If you have any hand/finger weakness this is the perfect tool to make your life easier. Giant milk? This eliminates the need to lift it out of the refrigerator. Both our kids love the dispenser. Increases independence and the adults love it too." —Aly
Get it from Amazon for $19.94+ (available in white and black).
21. A pair of noise-reduction earplugs for anyone with auditory sensitivities that make sustained focus or relaxation difficult. These are designed to reduce volume from surrounding noises without impacting your ability to hear them, so you can take the edge off from overwhelming noise pollution.
The earplugs also come with a carrying case and eight different ear tips (XS–L) to ensure the perfect fit.
Promising review: "These earplugs are awesome. I can have them in all day, and they are so comfortable. They have changed my life honestly. I am very sensitive to certain noises, which is very stressful. However, these earplugs are great. They drown out the annoying noises. I can still have conversations with people and listen to music and watch TV without being overwhelmed by background noise! Also by people eating! I also think that they have improved my focus a lot too. When I have them in, my brain isn't distracted by what's going on in the background, so I can focus better on what's in front of me." —Oana

Promising review: "I own a bunch of Ably T-shirts both short and long. They are so great for travel. This one is more snug in the arms than other ones I’ve tried. In general though, these shirts are marvelous, especially for long trips when you don’t want to do laundry." —April H.
Get it from Ably for $60 (available in women's sizes XS–2X and in seven colors).

Promising review: "I am the envy of all who see me. Seriously. The only 'problem' with these bags is how many people will stop you to ask about them. I never forget to bring my reusable bags anymore because these are so useful! I use the scan as you shop app at my local store and bag as I go. When I’m finished shopping, I scan it at any register, pay, and go. Everything is packed the way I want it and can be easily carried into my home. It saves time while helping the environment — win/win. I plan to buy these for all of my friends for their birthdays. So much more useful than body wash or another scented candle!" —S. Connell
