We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A Stasher reusable silicone bag that's actually *airtight*, so you won't want to throw it away after a few uses like so many you've tried before. (You can even throw it in the dishwasher and microwave — the dream!)
2. A CreaClip Set to help you finally pull off the at-home trim that you've been scared to try up until now or have seriously messed up in the past. Its built-in level will help create an even chop!
3. Wondercide Spray that'll serve as a naturally derived alternative to your pet's monthly treatments because fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are horrible! Your pet doesn't need to speak human words to tell you that!
4. A Phonesoap to kill up to 99.99% of bacteria with UV light on that tiny computer you clutch onto like your life depends on it every dang minute of the day (and insist on taking to the bathroom with you). Also we're *all* cleaning our stuff more often these days.
5. Better Life Natural All-Purpose Cleaner (you could spray in your mouth if you wanted?!) that'll be safe to use around kids and pets or anyone who's super sensitive to smells.
6. Bottle Bright cleaning tablets to revive the look (and taste!) of the stainless-steel thermos you use every dang day (whether you're WFH or not) but aren't so great at washing like you should.
7. A Squatty Potty which, if you don't already know what it does, helps position your body in a way that'll feel more natural for your colon and, therefore, make going no. 2 easier. (More or less.)
8. Glow Recipe products to help you fill out your skincare routine with sooo many deliciously effective beauty goods from their fruity cruelty-free line. Items like their Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask will feel like a low-lift way to keep your skin right without taking night classes on skincare ingredients.
9. A Q-flex acupressure tool that'll step in for your normal massage therapist. After all, no matter how many times you try to convince your puppy to walk across your back, it's just cute instead of providing some relief.
10. Scrub Daddy sponges who, if you're a frequent BuzzFeed Shopping reader, you'll recognize as the hardest lil' worker in anyone's kitchen. Trust me, this smiley face is worth the hype 10x over!
11. Vibes earplugs to help protect your hearing from incredibly loud noise by blocking out the decibels, but not the music! (I wore my pair at an arm hair-shaking EDM show and can report back that they work SO well.)
12. A Beard King trimmings catcher that'll make cleaning the bathroom sink SO much easier if you can convince your currently bearded bae to actually use it.
13. A tube of Nerd Wax because think of all the time you could put toward saving the world by *not* having to scoot your glasses up the bridge of your name a million times a day.
14. Safe Grabs silicone mats for putting a safe barrier between hot things and important stuff, like your hands, in so many situations.
15. The Spatty and Spatty Daddy spatulas – they're flexible enough to help you get the dregs of that luxury conditioner out of the container you got as a free sample at Sephora and have sworn by ever since.
16. A Michel Mercier Detangler brush to make quick, gentle work of your wet or dry hair thanks to a total of freaking 428 bristles in 32 different heights.
17. A HoodiePillow that'll give you the best of both worlds when it comes to comfort and privacy on your next flight or bus ride because you don't want to start off that trip of a lifetime with neck cramps or a talkative neighbor that kept you from napping on a red eye.
18. Proven Skincare – they let you take a three-minute skincare quiz to evaluate your skin, lifestyle, and environmental to narrow down ingredients that'll suit you best, rather than a one-size-fits-all deal. No more feeling obligated to finish off a just-OK bottle of moisturizer or crosschecking that ingredients from different brands will mesh well.
Proven Skincare is Asian-owned and founded by Ming Zhao, who'd been told her skin is "difficult" and spent a lot of time and money in the pursuit of better skin, without satisfying results. Using co-founder Dr. Amy Yuan's scientitic expertise, they developed The Skin Genome Project, which is really just fancy talk for the world's largest skincare database that helps tailor make a formula for customers. Plus, the items are cruelty-free! The quiz includes questions about how your skin feels after you take a shower and wake up, and how many glasses of water a day you average. So stuff that you can answer without being a skincare expert! Each set includes a cleanser, daily moisturizer, and night cream that'll work together like a dream. No more mixing and matching!

19. A Smart Cart rolling bag for helping you tote all sorts of groceries in its *water-resistant* structure and then you can fold it down once you're done for easy storage in your car's trunk.
20. A Frywall that'll fit around your pan and contain popping oil or spillover while you work on the house special. Nothing ruins an edible masterpiece like hot grease landing on your hand.
21. InstaFire, an eco-friendly fire starter with four fires in a pouch so you'll be set even if you don't remember how to build a campfire from back in your Girl Scout days. (OK, I could if I had to.) This'll also seriously come in handy if the past year all of a sudden has you interested in camping as a vacay option.
22. An Enso Ring silicone wedding band to wear while you're out and about doing stuff where you don't wanna wear your *real* band (like the playing at the beach, hiking, woodworking, etc.)
23. A T Thompson T sweat-proof undershirt that'll cost ya' thanks to fancy features like built-in sweat-absorbing pads. But you know what else costs ya'? Pit stains.
24. ReadeREST magnetic glasses holders – they can clip onto any of your shirts without leaving behind any damage, lest you forget another pair of reading glasses on a table. Somewhere....
25. Blueland plastic-free cleaning supplies to help you transform your mishmash of cleaning product bottles and cut down on one-use plastic. Plus, there's a subscription model to help you re-up. No more staring at a toothpaste-flecked mirror and an empty bottle of glass cleaner.
Blueland is an Asian American-owned brand founded by Sarah Paiji Yoo after aiming to stop using single-use plastics to help decrease the microplastics found in drinking water (yikes). But she came up more or less empty when it came to great options for household products that weren't packaged in plastics. Enter Blueland, which makes it easy and affordable to be eco-friendly. *Plus* the company has helped eliminate more than 1 billion single-use plastic bottles from landfills and oceans since 2019.
Get the Essentials Kit (three reusable cleaning bottles; one reusable foaming hand soap bottle; four tablets [fresh lemon multi-surface, unscented glass + mirror, eucalyptus mint bathroom, iris agave foaming hand soap]) from Blueland for $39 (also available on a subscription model for $35 every one, two, three or four months; check out refill options).
26. Grease Monkey cleaning wipes for those times when you're working on your bike, wiping off your hands while you admire a job well done, and then realize that your hands are still very much caked with grease!
27. A Drop Stop car seat gap filler that'll help you say buh-bye to lost change, french fries, and even dropped phones.
28. An EZPZ mat, aka a no-slip placemat/plate, your toddler will try their best to budge but they won't. MUHAHAHAHHAHA.
29. A microfiber Turbie Twist so the days of balancing a heavy body towel on your head while you put on mascara is a thing of the past. Your poor neck!
30. Cropsticks that'll make eating all sorts of delicious things much easier because each pair comes with its own rest! No more balancing 'em on a bowl or (eek) putting them on a table.
Cropsticks is an Asian-owned certified B corporation you can spy in 500+ restaurants, hotels, and even in Disney parks and resorts. Founder Mylen Fe Yamamoto — a fourth-generation Japanese-Filipino American who was born and raised in Hawaii — came up with the idea while on a 2015 flight to Asia during which her chopsticks kept rolling off her tray table. (Talk about a productive flight.)
Cropsticks and the company's other items are made out of bamboo with sustainability in mind.
Get a 25-pack from World Market for $2.49.
31. SoapSox to help get your kid pumped for bath time — maybe — because they're adorable stuffed animals that transform into more or less a loofah once you put a bar of soap inside, like so.
32. Bambooee reusable towels that'll replace most (if not all!) of the paper towels you go through on the reg. Look at you, Captain Planet!
33. A Rapid Ramen Cooker to transform a brick of noods into the base for a delish meal in just three minutes in the microwave! 'Tis time to put that ramen you've been hoarding the pantry to tasty use.
34. A Rocketbook Wave Smart Notebook, which is really just fancy talk for a notebook you can take notes or scribble in, move those notes online, and then microwave the notebook to start with an *actual* blank slate. If you go through notebooks fast, you need this! (Use. That. Microwave!)
