1. A liquid tartar remover for dogs you simply add to their water bowls to cut out on plaque and smelly breath for a difference you'll notice. R.I.P. to all the doggy toothpastes you've tried in the past.
2. A red wine stain remover in a mini size that can work on soooo many other stains too.
3. Bandages that'll ACTUALLY match your skin tone so your healing process will be seamless, quicker, and therefore less-painful. Also, maybe those Minions bandages look cute on your kid, but you don't want to wear one on your hand!
4. And a mini first-aid kit you can fill with your own supplies (like ^ bandages) and keep on you at all times for when minor catastrophes happen.
5. Cuccio Cuticle Oil smells heavenly, but most importantly will treat sorry-looking cuticles and moisturize your paws. Oh, and it'll look lovely on your vanity. I have this and it takes just a few seconds each day!
6. Glass phone screen protectors that even YOU can DIY (I did!) and will protect your precious device every single day.
Each of the protectors that come in a pack have lasted me about six months! Check out my full review of amFilm Glass Screen Protectors (#2).
Promising review: "I never post reviews, but this is a unique circumstance. I bought these screen protectors because they were cheap and came in a pack — probably not the best approach when trying to protect an $800 device. But, at the end of the day, these did exactly what they were supposed to do when a 15-pound dumbbell slipped out of my wife's hand and fell directly onto the screen. After telling my wife there was no way her screen didn't crack, I pulled back the cover to reveal a crack-free, fully intact screen. And that's why you buy screen protectors in packs!" —Geoffrey Forman
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.99.
7. A high-wattage glow booster to use alone or on top of your fave splurge-y highlighter in case you'd prefer that your shimmer is seen from space.
8. A genius humidifier tank cleaner that'll help look after that lil' machine that's saving your skin and nasal passages this season. This cartridge "swims" around the water tank, helping inhibit the growth of buildup for up to 30 days.
9. A bedside caddy you'll congratulate yourself for purchasing next time you need your headphones and would pay $50 to NOT crawl out from underneath your covers.
10. Elastic shoelaces you may just use on every last pair of shoes once you realize how much time they buy you in getting ready in the morning or just getting through security at the airport. (They also make putting on shoes easier for people who have a hard time bending over to tie laces.)
11. Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel is, IMO, a multi-tasking miracle worker. This cooling gel will soak in immediately for moisturizing benefits on the reg, post-shave soothing or treating some gnarly sunburn (that in hindsight I should've gone to the dermatologist about).
12. A 10-in-1 spray you can spritz on your damp hair and let take care of basically every styling need for blowouts except finishing hairspray. It'll give you a super smooth blowout without filling up your medicine cabinet with products.
13. A super specific but incredibly helpful microwave cover to help you heat up leftovers and avoid gross splatter. Plus, it collapses for easy storage!
14. A setting powder made for oily skin to keep your T-zone looking like matte perfection during seasons when it normally feels like your makeup is sliding down your face after being outside for a few minutes. But that's a thing of the past!
15. A box of slow cooker liners that'll make cleaning up after yourself (and delicious concoctions) criminally easy. Just toss the liner when you're finished!
16. A bright accordion folder where you can file important papers because no matter how many bills you go paperless for, there'll still be SOME physical papers you'll need to locate quickly.
17. A box of Magic Erasers to brighten dingy sneakers, remove wall scuffs, scrub away marks on stainless-steel sinks, and clean up grout stains on shower walls.
18. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a TikTok-famous cleaning paste for handling all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking kitchen faucet.
Promising review: "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stovetop and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
19. A set of pastel highlighters to call your attention to the essentials during study sessions or organize a bullet journal without giving yourself eyestrain — and therefore rendering that life helper a life hurter.
20. A pair of Drain Wigs, which is really just a funny name (that sounds like an excellent Drag Race insult) for drain hair catchers.
21. A shampoo brush can target buildup and hurt so good with the teeth massaging your scalp like you're at the salon. Plus it is SO CHEAP.
23. A mattifying makeup primer for a smooth finish that'll stay that way for so much longer.
24. An easy jar opener — easier than those rubber things — so you won't have to burst a blood vessel in your eye just trying to open a jar of fancy preserves you, tbh, spent way too much on at the *nice* food store in your neighborhood.
25. A detangling brush for thick hair will do major things for unruly hair (and maybe save a few bucks of the detangling spray you normally use to douse your hair so post-shower detangling doesn't feel like a torture session).
26. A budget monthly tracker that'll work in your Google sheets so you won't have to worry about misplacing or the puppy gnawing on your physical budgeting notebook. And, well, you can just copy and keep on using this year over year!
This Etsy shop is run by one of my favorite YouTubers Budget Girl, whom documented paying off $33,000 in debt (video here!) and has set up a net worth of $200,000 (video here!). So yeah, I think her advice is solid!
Get it from BudgetGirlGoods on Etsy for $8.99 (you can also get an annual net worth spreadsheet).
27. Or a detangling brush for folks with 3a–4c hair types to get at the tangles without the torture.
28. A chore chart your family will hopefully get PLENTY of use of of...leading to a super clean and organized house.
29. A glitter primer for keeping those sparkles in place, whether it's for a sizzling eye look or swatching.
30. A stick of anti-chafing balm to keep your inner thighs and other parts ouchless when it's time to get physical, physical.
31. A makeup sponge storage set with two drying racks that'll let the air circulate so much better when you're drying it out post-wash. Then when you're ready to take a sponge with you, just throw it in one of the adorbs cat cases!
32. And while we're on the subject, a brush cleansing pad that moonlights as a brush holder for drying. It can take care of your other makeup tools and keep them in fighting shape for drastically longer.
33. A Tarot-inspired bookmark as a lovely sight when you crack open that spine and dive back into your current read.
34. A coffee scoop/bag clip so you'll never have to track down a spoon to fill 'er up with caffeine while you're zombie yawning.
35. And a pair of reusable K-cups in case you find yourself buying coffee near your office instead of opting for the K-cups your company provides and you're v meh about. (I feel your pain.)
36. A three-pack of SPF 30 lip balm in yummy flavors so sun protection will be far more appetizing.
37. And an easy lip stain for delivering major color that'll stay put for so much longer than regular lipstick or gloss.
38. A "half-eaten" cookie cutter you'll wanna use a few times for every batch of cookies you make. Hehe.
39. Bar Keepers Friend powdered cleanser to spiff up just about anything you have around your house like car head lights, pots and pans, porcelain sinks, stove tops.... Really, the limit does not exist.
40. A sheet of door-dampening bumpers that'll be silent and go unnoticed, much like your deep dive for snacks when the baby's asleep.
41. A heel liner to give some sweet relief for that amazing pair of shoes that slip just enough to leave your heels howling in pain.
42. A foot balm for your heels, those poor cracked, nasty-looking heels you've been hiding all winter. It's their time to shine after some spiffing up with this stuff. This is sooo much cheaper than a pedicure.
43. A couple of pairs of gel inserts that'll cushion your foot pads on the DL when you decide to wear heels.
44. A handy dino here to hold your phone while you take your millionth BuzzFeed quiz of the afternoon. (We support your BF quiz black hole.)
45. A quick-dry top coat for a lasting finish over your home mani.
46. A headrest trash bag that'll eliminate your kids' excuses for littering on the car floor.
47. A *legit* oven cleaner ready to do the tough scrubbing for you.
48. Small cable clip organizers you can stick on as you please because there's no need to see OR trip over the your phone charger cord every time you stand up to fill up your glass of water.
49. A set of satin pillowcases I personally swear by for keeping my hair and skin moisturized (vs. cotton pillowcases). Plus! They're super soft and look glam.
50. Cute lil' teabag holders can stick around as helpers.
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $5.97.
51. A mountable cat-grooming brush to help your kitty get some rubs when your hands are all tied up with other tasks.
Promising review: "I got this for my three-legged cat because he can't scratch his left side. He'll be trying to scratch and all you see is his little nub going crazy. I found these and he immediately LOVED it! The expression on his face when he first tried it was priceless. The only downside is that it's possible it'll fall off because it was hard for me to get all pieces of tape to stick on a corner at the same time, but I can always buy more double-sided tape so not a big deal to me. The product is for Floyd, not me, and he's happy so 5 stars." —Pippa Runs
Get it from Amazon for $5.51.
52. BestLan Hair Finishing Stick looks just like a mascara wand but its shaping cream will tame your flyaways on those days when throwing your hair up in a bun or ponytail is all you can muster. Soooo, lots of days.
53. Camryn's BFF Gentle Edges Brush can smooth and lay your edges (if you want to). It has two ends — one that'll massage your scalp to increase blood flow and a mini comb — for a tiny multi-tasking tool.
54. COLAB Overnight Renew Dry Shampoo that'll blast your greasy roots with a formula that works for you while you sleep. It's a heavier duty spray than regular dry shampoo but soaks in overnight for an easier morning routine.
55. A brown sugar saver disguised as an adorable terra cotta bear that'll keep your brown sugar from going rock solid. OK, so you're not *repairing* your baking ingredient per se, but it'll sure keep you from replacing that formerly rock-hard block of sweet.
56. Indoor plant food spikes to turn that plant bb's frown upside down... and yours too! You spent way too much on it at the farmer's market anyway and are determined to help this one thrive. RIP to all the plants before it.
57. Charcoal inserts that'll be worth a try to de-funk those favorite flats of yours you can't throw in the wash but have been stinking up the mudroom.
58. Some cleaning tablets you can toss in your dishwasher to help make that $$$ appliance work so much better than as of late.
59. An adorable stuffed duck that reviewers say lasts and lasts and LASTS.
60. An eight-piece ear-cleaning tools set so you can finally stop cleaning ear wax with cotton swabs (a BIG no-no) and add something to your medicine cabinet that'll stay there longer than you'll be on this earth.
Promising review: "Impressive little set of tools, especially for the price. The tools feel well made and work well, this feels like a much more expensive set. They sit well in the hand. I've used cotton swabs for years knowing I shouldn't, and now there's no guilt!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $6.99.
61. Vaseline lip therapy cocoa butter jars as teeny, tiny soldiers in your war against dry lips.
62. A four-way cleaning brush to make big moves on those black suede (or nubuck!) boots you decided to shuffle around in the dirt while wearing last weekend. Their days are no longer numbered
