1. A nail grinder that, according to reviewers, will be a godsend for pets who hate or can't get to the groomer but are quite good at growing talons.
Promising review: "There are a lot of different devices out there to help trim your pets nails and I have probably bought and tried most of them. This tool is by far and away one of the best you can get for the price. It was the same one that my pet groomer used and charged me $25 for each nail trim. If you have the patience and are willing to invest a little time your pet, you can get professional results without the hassle and cost of taking Fido or Kitty to the groomer. If your pets are like mine, they HATE loud noises, especially when you get near their paws, and struggle to get away. This is by far one of the quietest devises I have purchased and easy to handle. The battery lasted long enough to trim three dogs' and three cats' paws. It recharges quickly and conveniently via a USB charging device (which you will have to purchase separately). I used my iPhone charger. The first time you use it, you will want to go slow as it can grind pretty quickly depending on the thickness of your pet nails. You only want to grind long enough for the nail to get warn and NOT hot. I found that several two-to-three-second grindings worked much more effectively than 10+ seconds and my pets found it more tolerable. Your pets might not 'like' their first experience but keep at it (I did it once a week) and before you know it, you will be able to do just as good of a nail trim as a professional groomer." —Jeff B.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in two colors).
2. Or nail clippers for rambunctious pets who don't have a ~lick~ of patience and need a faster solution.
Promising review: "I've bought other clippers before and just couldn't do my dog's nails. I honestly thought it just might be me not having enough strength. He's a medium-size dog with thick nails. I'd pay $7, then $10, then $12 to get his nails clipped. It just keeps going up. He was getting more agitated because he has ticklish paws (funny, right). I wasn't sure these would do very good because the price was so low, but the reviews were high. Well, I got these and we are not going back to the groomer's. Now I sit on the floor with him and clip his nails with no problem. The first time his nails were long so I clipped them once that day with the guard, which is nice to help you from moving and clipping too short. I went back a week later and clipped any that were still too long." —Julia
Get them from Amazon for $11.97
3. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent dye from garments bleeding onto other items in the wash. They're designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds. Where has this been all your life?
4. A magnetized air fryer cooking cheat sheet that'll provide some motivation to keep on using your appliance you deemed your favorite a few months ago but have been neglecting lately. It's so easy to order takeout now that it's getting darker out sooner. Don't do it! Whip up your own delish meals with this extra bit of motivation. (I'm totally talking to myself here.)
5. A two-pack of deodorant-removing sponges to rub away those ghostly stains that you ALL TOO OFTEN realize are a thing once you're wearing your dang shirt.
6. And a pill-removing, pumice-esque stone that'll help bring that sweatshirt that's become your WFH go-to back to its near original shape. It's been working hard while you've been working hard. It deserves a makeover!
7. A Nightmare Before Christmas mini cross-stitch kit to help you whip up a DIY gift for your Nightmare-loving pal and give you a taste of the delightful (IMO) craft of cross-stitching. This'll cost less than similar fandom gifts and might just motivate you to cross-stitch more holiday gifts! (My BuzzFeed Secret Santa gift is always a custom cross-stitch!)
8. Or an embroidery kit with three designs (and various seasonal or evergreen design options) for trying your crafty hands at another giftable option.
9. A powerful glycolic acid peel to help improve your pitted texture, fine lines, and not-so-soft skin. Its main ingredient helps cells turn over to reveal new, brighter, and softer skin underneath. Give this a go before much pricier procedures like lasers and peels at the dermatologist.
10. A set of TikTok-famous adjustable mug organizers that'll help you better use your kitchen cabinet space *and* also keep your mugs safer since they fit on top of a mug, creating a setup where you can safely stack a second mug on top instead of googling replacements.
Psst — if you want to see them in action, check out this viral TikTok of the mug organizers that's clocked millions of views.
Promising review: "I love these cup organizers. I have a small cabinet above where my coffeepot is and these have made it a pleasure to open that cabinet. All cups are organized and easy to get to. They stay right where they should be. No more stacking them inside one another and them falling over when I opened the cabinet. I also use these for some bowls in my dish set. Works great. I just ordered a couple more and I am going to use them for my china cabinet. I wondered when I first bought them because the price was a little high. Worth every penny and more. I can not say enough good about these." —ChefGirl
Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
11. A velvet slipcover to give your ragged old couch a complete new look. Plus, the slipcover comes with straps to keep it in place so you don't have to futz with it all the time.
12. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a TikTok-famous cleaning paste made for handling all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking kitchen faucet. This'll handle ALL sorts of messes so you don't have to buy a bunch of specialty cleaners.
Promising review: "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
13. A portable canvas cup holder so you can tote around your favorite beverage *without* spilling that latte or boba everywhere. Use this a few times sans spills and you'll be even happier you bought it. Plus, it's just s'cute!
14. An oil stain remover to help rehab stone surfaces around your home without calling in a pro.
15. 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 because it turns out, they don't have to be trashed! (Or turn into your taking-out-the-trash shoes.)
16. A jar of wrinkle balm that'll help prevent infection and irritation in your bulldog's wrinkles...likely resulting in giving the vet or groomer less of your hard-earned cash.
Promising review: "We were at the point where I was about to go back to the vet and get antibiotics for our dog as nothing was working and her lip folds were smelling really bad. I didn't want to do this as she has had several doses of antibiotics so this wrinkle balm was my last try before heading back to the vet. I am delighted to say that it absolutely worked. I wash her face with soap in the morning, give it a good dry, and then apply the balm. Our dog is very happy to have the balm put on and even wags her tail (in contrast she hates the mousse that the vet prescribed). I clean her lip folds with witch hazel at night, dry with tissue and then apply more of the balm. After a day or so the smell improved and after two weeks her once inflamed and swollen lip folds are looking 100% better and there is no smell at all." —Carrie
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 or Subscribe & Save for $14.20/three months (available in three sizes).
17. A pack of AirPod cleaners because you'll never live down that time your roommate accidentally mistook yours as their own. But they have a point. You should clean your AirPods! You spent so much money on them, might as well keep 'em in working condition for as long as possible.
18. Magnetic garage handles to bring some serious curb appeal to your home for an EXTREMELY small fraction of the price of getting some carriage-style doors. They're pricey as heck. These magnets are not.
19. A leather conditioner that'll revive your leather goods *even* as large as a leather couch! Welcome to your next project while you catch up on the latest ep of your fave true crime podcast! (Perfect time for this DIY before your in-laws come to town.)
20. A ~clear~ dry-erase message board you can mount and forever ditch a giant pad of paper you have to replace over and over again. Also, it's just very chic.
21. Cleaning goo to easily detail stuff like vents, keyboards, remotes, the tiny works that get used ALL the time and therefore get quite dirty! Don't replace, just clean.
22. A 4-in-1 hole repair product that's really just a squeeze bottle of spackle with a built-in primer so you can fill in holes on your wall and get back that security deposit. (Seriously, landlords will use any kind of excuse to not give you back that cash.)
23. A gentle and organic sugaring treatment that can remove hair and soothe your skin at once...all without having to get to a salon and pay someone for hair removal. It contains chamomile, lemon, tea tree oil, and sugar for antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing benefits.
24. Or a painless battery-charged hair remover you can use on your face by easily gliding it over super fine hair like in spots above your lip or between your brows.
Promising review: "I likes the painless and effortless but effective results and the fact I can do this as often as I like. No more $40 monthly facial waxings at this time of shut down for indefinite future and this was my alternative, will save me a whole lot of money!" —Dreidel Collector
25. A carpet-cleaning solution with results so impressive (just cast your eyes below this text!) that you may have to bleep out your own reaction. Get ready to break up with your carpet cleaner rental spot.
26. A Drill Brush cleaning kit you can attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh because it turns out that you didn't need a fancy new cleaner. You just needed some drill power behind your scrubbing.
27. A set of K-Cup cleaning pods in case your Keurig is starting to have problems. Give these for a go for $11 before shelling out cash for a new machine! The glass on the left shows the progress with a few cycles.
28. A downloadable garage organizer worksheet packet so you can get going on finding what you have, what you need, what you can get rid of (or even sell), and what you don't need to be buy more of on your next home center store trip.
29. Denture-cleaning tablets to help clean your retainers, mouth guards, and dentures WAY better than you can with your human hands. BUT they also do a stellar job of erasing coffee and tea stains in white coffee mugs. No having to replace those mugs because your partner refuses to drink out of stained mugs.
30. A bumper sticker remover because you don't listen to that band anymore. Or maybe you bought a car with a ton of embarrassing stickers on it. Either way, that's all in the past now and you'd like to be able to resell this car someday without all those stickers.
31. A container of Museum Gel, which is really just fancy talk for adhesive you can put on the bottom of glass or crystal if you've had to repair or replace a vase thanks to your cats, kids, or earthquakes in the past. Plus, it doesn't leave behind any residue!
Psst — people who sell jewelry like rings and want to balance them on a surface for photos also swear by this!

36. A detachable shirt collar you can use to get so much wear out of your sweaters without investing in an actual shirt. (Also you won't have to worry about the bulk of a button-down shirt underneath.)
Promising review: "Must-have life hack! I saw someone get this off of TikTok and I totally loved it. It does exactly what you’d want it to do. The shirt can unbutton if you need it to; it’s super easy to put on. I love that it gives the illusion I have a collared shirt under without the hassle of wearing an actual collared shirt!!" —Danny
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and in round and pointed collars).
37. A waist extender to help you get FAR more use out of those pants you're nervous about wearing to Thanksgiving because they're right on the cusp of being hard to button up. No need to replace! Be free! Use a waist extender!
38. A memory foam seat cushion to relieve pressure on your tailbone in your office chair you really don't want to replace. But also, you can't keep sitting there with a pained look on your face during video calls. This cushion is an investment, but cheaper than a chair replacement.

43. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment (psst, an Olaplex "dupe") made with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that'll make your hair look and feel so much healthier.

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "Holy moly. This stuff is AH-mazing. To be free of bad stuff, smell amazing, leave my hair SMOOTH and SOFT (did I emphasize that enough), and leave my hair drying quicker with it looking near perfect. Well, folks, what else is there to say? Buy it. Don’t think about it. Just do it. This coming from a super-picky hair girl!" —Aubsmommmy
