1. A pack of biodegradable foaming drain-cleaning pouches for taking care of that awful stench and the out-of-sight grime living in your garbage disposal with essentially zero effort.
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 $9.40.
2. 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.
This unit comes with three interchangeable chopping blades, three grater blades, and two slicer blades. It also comes with holding containers to house all the blades, a cleaning fork, and a safety holder.
Promising review: "I have arthritis so slicing and chopping have become so painful for me. This device made short work of all the chopping for our Thanksgiving dressing. I read the directions and watched a couple of YouTube videos to get a clear understanding of how the chopper works and how to best prepare onions, celery, etc. for chopping. I finished all the chopping in record time, and my hands were pain free. This device gives me uniform dices — something a food processor can't do." —Charis
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
3. 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.
4. And 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 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).
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. A Swiffer Sweeper–compatible microfiber mop pad that's a one-time purchase you can use again and again for dry or wet cleaning. Sparkling floors and a permanently shorter shopping list? Yes, please!
Promising review: "Bought this pad set at the beginning of September because the Swiffer wet pads seemed so wasteful. These have worked great. I usually use a spray cleaner for spot cleaning or a cleaner like Mop-n-Glo and it works really well. Super absorbent and does a great job cleaning the floor. I can use the pad for a few days before it needs to be washed. I’ve been washing them regularly for two months and they’re still fine. No falling apart or Velcro coming off or anything like that. Fully recommend." —Heather B.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.97.
9. Plus, these reusable Swiffer dusters so you can enjoy all the cleaning convenience of the disposable versions while helping the environment and saving some extra cash at the same time.
TS Designs US is a Michigan-based Etsy shop that specializes in home products and country, rustic, and vintage-styled gifts and decor.
Psst — the seller notes that this works best with Swiffers with the yellow handle, but also is compatible with the blue handle. You should avoid using fabric softener when washing this duster so it won't lose its static cling.
Promising review: "Great washable duster replacement tops. They vacuum off and wash up easily, and they grab dust and cobwebs every bit as well as the disposable ones I was using. Considering it means putting a bit less into landfills and also saving money in the long run; I only wish I had bought these years ago, sincerely. Also, they shipped very promptly and arrived sooner than expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. Thanks!" —otherlings
Get it from TS Designs US on Etsy for $5.49 (available in 10 colors).
10. Budget-friendly period underwear to put an end to the panic of an incoming period and an empty box of pads your forgot to replace. 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!!!!!" —Lauryn
Get it from Amazon for $7.90+ (available in sizes XXS–6X and individually or in packs of two or three in various colors).
11. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets because (to my shock and horror) you have to clean the thing that cleans your dishes, and these tablets make doing so as quick and easy as...well...running the dishwasher.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I used it in my dishwasher. Had standing water on the bottom, dropped one tablet in the water. Put it on light wash cycle and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super and after my positive experience I am happy to cosign his recommendation." —cheapchicshopper
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.98.
12. A swivel bin pooper scooper and rake if your goal is to stay as far away from your dog's business as humanly possible. This long-handled bin can fit a whole yard's worth of poo and includes a rake that makes cleanup a contactless, near-effortless affair.
Promising review: "I have three dos: a small, a large, and a giant breed. With work, I only get around to scooping the yard once a week. I previously had a claw grabber–style scoop. When it broke, I got this one. I just used it for the first time and picked up a week's worth of poop from three dogs in about one-quarter of the the time it took me to do the yard with the claw-style scoop. The bin is big enough to hold a LOT of poop so I make way fewer trips across the yard to empty it out. The absolute only downside is that the handle unscrews easily. I’m just going to put some glue in the joints and screw it into place and that problem will be solved. I never thought I’d be so stoked about a pooper scooper, but here I am." —Amy Bernadette
Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available with or without waste bags).
13. A pack of Miracle-Gro plant food spikes for helping all your plant babies live their healthiest, happiest indoor lives without your constant fretting. 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
Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $2.79.
14. A set of reusable nonstick oven liners that'll catch spills from all those drippy pies, pizzas, and casseroles! To clean, just rinse by hand or wash on the top rack of the dishwasher.
These liners are 100% BPA and PFOA free. They are sized for a standard oven but are easy to cut to size for non-standard oven models.
Promising review: "These liners were recommended by a friend and I was happy to find them on Amazon. The material is heavy-duty and thick. They are easy to wipe and dishwasher-safe as well. The design is great to catch any spills or pieces of food that may drop on the oven bottom. They lay nicely on the bottom of my standard-size oven. These are something definitely needed to make cooking and baking easier. The price for a three-pack is well worth what is received. Nice, clear instructions were enclosed. Great company. Definitely recommend!" —mesh
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
15. 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.
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 $13.90.
17. 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).
18. A lemon-scented cleaning gel if spending hours wiping out keyboards, air conditioning vents, and car cupholders is not your idea of a good time. Just plop this gooey godsend on whatever needs cleaning and watch as it oh-so-satisfyingly lifts dirt and dust in a snap.
Promising review: "I purchased this product to clean those little spaces in my car filled with random crumbs from my husband and dog hair and it works amazing. Picked up everything and didn’t leave a residue. The lemon scent was faint and didn’t overpower the vehicle while I was cleaning it. But this definitely got in all the little nooks and crannies." —Kimberly
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
19. A memory foam knee-pillow for side sleepers sick of wasting their mornings recovering from lower back pain. This ergonomic pillow helps maintain better sleeping posture, and has adjustable (and detachable) straps to keep it in place even if you're prone to tossing and turning.
Promising review: "I LOVE this pillow. I have a herniated disc between L4 and L5 and have attempted for awhile to sleep with a pillow between my knees but it got kicked away most nights. This pillow is amazing. The strap really does keep it on my leg so when I roll over it ends up rolling with me and staying in place, or mostly in place. It is much more stable than just regular pillows as well, so it's more supportive. I'm buying another one for my spouse!" —Kourtney Spaulding
Get it from Amazon for $22.09.
20. A rechargeable hair trimmer that delivers 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 $59.99.
21. A handy Souper Cubes freezer tray designed to fit a serving (1 cup) of soup or sauces per cube so you can freeze and then reheat when you need a quick meal. The included lids also make it super easy if you're already short on freezer space.
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.
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.
22. 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 $11.99+ (also available in black).
23. An absorbent faucet drip catcher because you're over the after-dinner ritual of mopping up the small lagoon that forms behind your sink every time you do dishes.
Hustle & Sew is a Saint Helens, Oregon-based Etsy shop with lots of fun and functional handmade goods like face masks, bags, and stasher scrunchies!
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina
Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
24. 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.
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.
25. A set of adjustable clip holders for instantly turning any regular bra into one you can wear with a racerback top without the straps showing. Now you can cross "buy a new bra" off your to-do list!
Promising review: "Genius!! Why did it take me so long to find these? I was looking for a solution to hide straps in a racerback tank but these straps do so much more than just that. Unlike the round clips that pull straps tightly to the center of your back, these straps lie flat and they have just enough give to allow the bra to still fit right and feel comfortable. Moreover, they can be used to keep bra straps from falling down all day!!! Such a great product." —MsChris
Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in eight styles).
26. 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.
27. A pet nail file board to tame the claws of your dramatic doggo who can't stand having their nails trimmed. It works just like an emery board to file down any sharp edges scratching up you, your floors, and your furniture.
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).
28. 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.
29. A bestselling sauce sampler because it IS possible to make restaurant-quality meals at home in under 30 minutes. Each packet combines all the sauces, aromatics, and seasonings you need to cook a variety of Asian dishes, and recipes are provided — just add your own protein and veggies!
Omsom is an Asian woman-owned small biz selling preservative- and artificial flavoring-free sauces from regions all across Asia to help up your cooking game with very little effort involved.
This bundle includes 12 starter packets that each serve two to three: two Japanese Yuzu Misoyaki, two Korean Spicy Bulgogi, two Chinese Mala Salad, two Vietnamese Lemongrass BBQ, two Thai Larb starters, and two Filipino Sisig.
Keep these sauces stocked in your pantry, and you'll always have a quick and easy dinner option that you can really get excited about. The recipes they provide really couldn't be simpler to shop for/follow and I've yet to make one that wasn't an absolute ~delight~ to put in my mouth. If you're sensitive to spice, I would be mindful of their chili pepper ratings before buying, but if you have a pretty average spice tolerance none of their meals should give you any trouble. After enjoying them so much myself, I gifted my brother the Instant Pot x Omsom sampler for (somehow) even easier meals he can make right in his Instant Pot.
Get it from Omsom for $58.
30. A magnetic "All Out Of" notepad for helping your household effortlessly create a thorough shopping list by checking off depleted items the minute they run out. When it's time to head to the store, the list is already made so you won't waste time meandering the aisles trying to remember that thing you know you're forgetting (it's garbage bags, as always).

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 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
