1. Glass phone screen protectors that even YOU can DIY (I did!) and will protect your precious device every single day. So when you inevitably drop your phone, the screen protector cracks — not your actual screen.
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 lbs. 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

2. A vinyl plastic vaccine card sleeve with a resealable top to help keep it in fighting condition. It also has holes so you can attach it to a lanyard!
Promising review: "Since there is no vaccine passport yet, there are places that want to see your vaccination card. This fits the card fairly snugly and has a zipper closing like you would find on a sandwich bag. This is made of sterner stuff than wimpy sandwich bags though. (I suspect this product was initially marketed for ID cards, but pivoted well for its new use.) There are holes above the zipper that could be used to attach to a lanyard. Unlike laminating, the card can be removed to add booster shot information (may we never need it!). There are three protectors included." —Amazon shopper
Get a set of three from Amazon for $4.98 (also available in 5-, 10-, 20-, and 50-packs).
3. A stick of anti-chafing balm that'll keep your inner thighs and other parts ouchless when it's time to get physical, physical. No more walking like a cowboy showing up at a saloon to see your enemy just so your painful, chafed thighs won't touch.
I own this and yes, can vouch that it's QUITE effective for inner-thigh chafing (the bane of my existence). I also recently rubbed it on the places where dress sandals hit my feet and dance the night away at a wedding reception with no pain or rubbing.
Promising review: "Omg this stuff is the best! I am a chubby girl and I recently went to Thailand where it was 90 degrees Fahrenheit with a 70% humidity every single day I was there. This stuff got me through! I was able to wear dresses and shorts with no chafing! And I only ever had to apply in the morning and once in the middle of the day! My life is forever changed I’ve already ordered two more!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three sizes; also available in a cream, "for her," and for your feet.)
4. A four-way cleaning brush can make big moves on those black suede (or nubuck!) boots you decided to shuffle around in the dirt while wearing last weekend. No more regrets!
It has four sides: one to clean heavier scuff marks and stains, one to gently clean fine suede and light scuff marks, one to clean rounded corners, and one to clean hard-to-reach crevices and grooves.
Promising review: "I was really sad when I thought my bucks were at the end of their road, because I had always heard that suede couldn't be cleaned. With this brush and a little elbow grease my bucks are looking great again! I didn't use any water or cleaner, I just kept wiping the brush off on my jeans to keep the brush clean, then hit the shoe again with a clean surface. It even brightened the leather up a bit." —Roberto
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
5. A sleeveless racerback bodysuit to help you get the coveted tuck for a smooth look with your jeans without having to actually skillfully tuck in your shirt.
6. A storage garter that'll be an inconspicuous way to wear a dress without pockets but still holding onto all your essentials.
Girly-Go-Garter is a small business created by Andy Paige, a celebrity style expert who was inspired to create a storage solution after taping TV shows while wearing a mic pack attached to the back of her bra or around her waist.
Promising review: "This thing is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I have tried a bunch of different brands of this type of product, which is absolutely ingenious and every person who has to wear a dress with no pockets should have one. But this one is by far the best of anything I've tried. First of all it's adjustable, which is for some reason not the norm but it's super helpful, and it STAYS. This thing don't budge at all, you can wear this to an event and dance the night away and all your stuff stays right where you put it. Gifting one of these to everyone I know." —JJ
Get it from Amazon for $39 (available in eight colors).
7. A pore-blurring makeup primer to help smooth out your visage's surface for more even foundation application.
8. A plant-care tracking sheet so both you and your houseplant babes can thrive. (Like it suggests on the shop, put it in a picture frame and you can track with a dry-erase marker!)
Creative Type is a Warman, Canada-based shop with tons of printable to help you organize your life.
Get the printable sheet from Creative Type on Etsy for $4.74.
9. A setting powder made for oily skin that you can easily take on the go to keep your T-zone looking like matte perfection despite every other factor.
10. A waterproof pouch you can throw your phone in on that day you decided to drive an hour to the river and go tubing. You can catch it all for the 'gram because this'll keep your phone dry *and* let you still use your touchscreen. I bring these on all my beach vacations and have taken some really cool underwater videos.
It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It also keeps out sand, dirt, and rain.
Promising review: "I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend, and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck, and so it, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river and I just assumed it would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open, but there was not one single drop of water in it and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" —Julie McDonald
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 14 colors).
11. Or a volcanic stone face roller for removing oil and shine from your face. And unlike oil-blotting sheets, the ball can be popped out and washed so you can use this over and over and over again.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
12. A car garbage bag that'll help contain some of the mess that ends up on your backseat floor. Someone buy this for my Uncle Bill STAT. But wait, he may need a bigger bag.
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
13. A silky slip skirt will up the ante with any of the tops in your closet...or maybe even a top you found on your floor when cleaning?!
Promising review: "Obsessed. This is exactly what I have been looking for, and now I want one in every color. It is so soft, fit perfectly, and is made from great material (as in it's not too thin). It washes well too! You will NOT regret buying this. Buy this now." —Chelsea S.
Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and 20 colors/ patterns).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give this a spin before you buy it!
14. 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.
I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow dried hair with just this post-shower using this Amika blow dryer brush. This brush is fantastic on its own but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends.
Get it from Mane Club for $8 or Amazon for $9.50 (cruelty-free, vegan).
15. A deeply hydrating hair mask that'll nurture and protect your natural hair texture after other products have failed you.
Thank God It’s Natural (TGIN) is a small business founded by Chris-Tia Donaldson after she graduated from Harvard Law School, started her first job at a law firm and wore wigs out of frustration for the lack of hair products for natural hair. TGIN is now sold at a variety of retailers. Chris-Tia was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and until her passing in 2021, used her success to advocate for women experiencing financial difficulties and who are undergoing treatment, to highlight health disparities due to race and socio-economic factors and help through the TGIN Foundation. You can read more about her empowering story in her book This is Only a Test.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in five patterns).
17. Pencil pouches to help organize small cords, beauty products, and yes, even pencils!
Get three from Amazon for $5.99.
18. Or if you wanna go whole hog, a 30-pack of waterproof zippered pouches to help you organize a variety of things.
Promising review: "I bought these for a trip for my family of five. I like to plan in advance to make sure no one forgets anything! These were a life saver packing for three kids! I was able to create a carry-on, toiletries, wires/chargers, and snacks pouch for everyone! I used clear sticker paper to create name labels, and it all worked perfectly! Would definitely recommend if you need to travel with family and need to set things out and pack." —mommyandbri
Get them from Amazon for $19.99.
19. A trifold travel wallet so all your important traavel documents are in one place and you're not wearily holding up the line when it comes time to show the TSA agent your passport and boarding pass.
The wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, key holder, and pen holder.
Promising review: "Guys, I'm beyond happy with this. I've been looking for a passport and ticket holder for a while but had never found the right size until I decided to try out this one. Besides, the material feels high quality and long-lasting, the red color is even better in person and it's wildly pretty." —BazantSol
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 33 colors).
20. A pair of ankle trousers to keep you looking professional or put-together without feeling all buttoned up.
Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by these pants! I’m a teacher so I need clothes that are stylish yet comfortable and can move with me throughout the day. As soon as these gems arrived in the mail, I tried them on. The first thing I noticed is that the material is higher quality than I expected. They don’t feel cheap or flimsy. The tapered leg is flattering as it gives the illusion of making your legs look longer and slimmer. The waist is comfortable and I like the button and hook fastening that leaves the front without lumps. I’m buying these again in another color." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 13 colors).
21. A handbag organizer with LOTS of pockets that'll help you easily track down your headphones, caffeinated gum, sleep mask, and just about anything else you'll need while traveling or just going about your everyday routine.
Promising review: "I have always purchased handbags with lots of pockets and sections because I hate having to dig around trying to find something in the gaping hole of purses with no sections. But I have passed up so many cute bags because of this, and I was frustrated with having to do so. I purchased this medium size organizer, and I couldn't be happier!! It is very well-made, and it has so many great pockets to organize everything I need. THE BEST PART is, I can easily lift it out of one purse and put it into another one, and I always know where everything can be found. I wish I had gotten one of these years ago. When I first ordered this organizer, I didn't realize it had two zipper compartments on each side, and I was tickled to discover even MORE storage!!! With all the fun colors and patterns, it was hard to select one, but I've always been partial to polka dots. I love it and can't imagine anyone not being has pleased with this as I am!" —Ronna
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in sizes S-L and in 27 colors).
22. The Clean Ball, which is really just fancy talk for a tiny ball that'll collect crumbs, dirt, dust, and other little bits littering the bottom of your bag.
Promising review: "This little ball is genius! It rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot lint, debris, or even crumbs. It's easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must have!!" —dj3biggs
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in pink and gray).
23. A pair of drawstring shorts so you won't have to have any buttons digging into your stomach while you sit and just generally live your dang life.
24. A mattifying makeup primer for a smooth finish that'll stay that way for so much longer.
Promising review: "I am not one to leave reviews but this stuff deserves recognition! In my 32 years of life I have never had something that is supposed to control oil actually do its job. From the moment this stuff touched my face, I felt a difference! My face is extremely oily that by the time I walk out the house, my makeup is sitting on top of my face looking caked. This is the first time EVER, I had a primer leave my face matte with makeup on. Although I love my look with makeup, I hate what the oil does so I’m usually limiting my application to eyebrows and under eye. Although this is day one of use, my makeup has been on my face for almost four hours and I have yet to pull out my MAC blot powder or oil control sheet to touch things up. I am IMPRESSED and that is a major compliment considering I’ve literally tried everything on the market and this $5 product surpasses them ALL!!!" —Rose
Get it from Amazon for $4.07.
25. Bandages that'll ACTUALLY match your skin tone so even though you know you have a papercut on your thumb, a cartoon character won't be announcing it to the whole dang world.
You may recognize these from a BuzzFeed News story about a man's viral tweet talking about feeling seen by these bandages that match his skin tone in a market saturated with "flesh tone" bandages that just match Caucasian skin tones.
Promising review: "It matches my dark skin perfectly!!! Hardly noticeable and blends right in. I bought the purple one at Target for $2.79. Great quality. Definitely not a cheap brand bandage. Never thought that I would actually 'like' a bandage." —Ife Odiatu
Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $6 (check out more shades and bandage types from the brand).
26. 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.
Includes three antiseptic wipes, two sting relief wipes, two packs of antibiotic ointment, six 1"x3" latex-free bandages, four small bandages, two butterfly bandages, two spot bandages, two knuckle bandages, one 2" safety pin, one 1" safety pin, one razor blade, and one reusable tin. I own this and it's *just* the perfect size to tote it around with you.
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
27. A timed safety shut-off plug in case your holy grail hair straightener doesn't have an auto-shutoff and you're always second-guessing if you actually turned it off this morning before you left the house.
Promising review: "Best ever. I just have to press the button and it auto turns on and shuts off after 30 minutes. I'm constantly forgetting to turn off my hair straightener so this is preventing house fires and saving electricity, yay! I originally was worried 30 minutes is too little time to do my hair and was looking for a 1 hour version but it turns out 30 minutes is actually more than enough. And it really isn't that bad if I need another 30 minutes and have to press the button again lol. I no longer worry about setting my house on fire from leaving on my hair straightener so I highly recommend." —AoiMizuno
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three timer types).
28. A travel mug with an auto seal because we want the coffee to go in your body, not down the front of it.
Leak- and spill-proof. Drinks stay hot up to 7 hours and cold up to 18 hours with vacuum insulation.
Promising review: "I think we own four or five of these things. I wouldn’t own another travel mug ever. These things are that good. The only complaint is that sometimes you’ll need to leave the lid off for a bit to allow the coffee to cool to a drinkable temperature. We’ve had to replace one lid over the years as the spring got all wonky and eventually broke. I can’t remember what initially happened. I think it was something my daughter did by accident and we damaged the spring reassembling it. The original mug we bought four to five years ago is going strong." —Nanook
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 16 colors, three sizes).
29. Bruise cream in case you're like me and bump into everything even adjacent to your path, and then find bruises in very obvious places that could've come from anything, really.
Promising review: "I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stunt man told me I should use Arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" —J. Yount
Get it from Amazon for $10.92.
30. An instant-drying nail polish (that also happens to be super cheap) for those times when you really wanna paint your nails but are pressed for time.
This stuff is consistently good. I've been using it for years! It really does dry quick and flat so you can move on with the rest of your life.
Get it from Amazon for $3.93+ (available in 22 colors).
Not ready to give up your holy grail polish? Get a fast-drying top coat instead.
31. A crossbody bag with a boxy lil' design that gives it some major style with minimal effort on your part. Also, it comes in a range of colors so you can match it to your ~mood~.
Promising review: "LOVE this little purse!! It's so pretty, functional, and a great size. I got the Saddle Brown color and it goes with everything. Love the adjustable strap. It also holds quite a bit, and I love the outer zipper pockets. I have a bigger cell phone (Pixel XL) that fits in one of the outer pockets with room to spare. I've had it a couple of months now and I'm hard on purses, but this seems like it will hold up very well. The zipper is very smooth, which is a plus for me. Highly recommend!" —Hjane26
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 29 colors).
32. A red wine stain remover that actually works — so you don't have to give up your beloved Malbec just because of your clumsy ways.
Promising review: "Totally impressed! The unassuming generic packaging and label left me a bit skeptical but this stuff is almost as exciting as the wine I spilled! This Cabernet stain sat on my ivory faux fur blanket for over a month before I tried this product. Completely gone in one try! Get this. Seriously. You won’t be disappointed." —PersianTess
Get it from Amazon for $10.67.
33. A car registration folder so you won't have to worry about scrambling to find your insurance info in the case of a wreck.
Promising review: "This is a very simple, but handy way to keep your registration and insurance forms within easy reach. I also have my handicap placard authorization form in there. Oddly, given the way I drive, I haven't had a ticket in decades, but I have been approached several times about parking in a handicap spot (I am a handicapped vet) — and if you can't find the little card from the state, you could be hit with a $152 fine in my town. That alone makes this worth the few bucks it costs!" —Tin Can Sailor
Get two from Amazon for $3.90.
34. A stretchy romper bodysuit you can layer underneath short summer dresses for some windproof protection. It'll also look effortlessly fab with sweatshirts and skirts.
Promising review: "'One size fits all' items NEVER fit me. However, this tiny catsuit fit my big body with ease. Haha! At first, when I opened the package I laughed and said this must be for a child but surprise, surprise, it fit. Slid into it like it was specifically designed for me. I am a size 14/16 with 40DDD breasts and it fit without pinching or squeezing any part of me. Great material, very light, and extremely opaque. I bought this to wear under a sheer shawl and I am very happy with this purchase." —Patrice Morris
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in one size and in four colors).
35. Press-on nails that'll give you a gel-like mani in about five minutes. I can vouch because these are my hands and I've used about more than a dozen sets of them!
I'm quite adept at painting my own nails (the only time I get a professional manicure is when I want gel before going on vacation), but these press-on nails have me feeling super lazy about painting my nails because they're so easy to use! And that's OK! Each set costs you less than 10 bucks and rather than fool with a bottle of nail glue that ends up anywhere but the nails, each nail has a peel-off plastic that reveals a super sticky surface you press onto your real nail. I find that all the nails stay on about three days when I do stuff like hand-wash my dishes, pet glorious dogs, and scratch many layers of dry shampoo on my scalp. You'll get 30 nails with each set, which helps you find the right sizes BUT I've also found comes in handy when a pointer or middle finger nail pops off (those are the first to go in my experience) so I end up getting about a week's use of wear out of each nail set. Multiple friends have seen me with the nails on and all have believed they're the real deal!
Get them from Target: marble/glitter set for $6.99 or similar red set for $6.99 (available in lots more styles)
36. A lacy dicky as a cute but profesh look under a sweatshirt or sweater without sweating too much. Layered without the actual layers.
Whip off that sweatshirt or sweater, pop one of those one, then put your shirt back on. Please put your shirt back on before that meeting.
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in 11 styles)
37. A CreaClip Set (as seen on Shark Tank) 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!
Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I can't wait to tell people what I use on my hair. I hate going to salons. I think I'm one of the few people that has never left a salon feeling like I look better than before I arrived. It doesn't matter how much I've spent on the visit either. This product has been a lifesaver. I just look up YouTube videos and follow the instructions. I just have myself a layered A-line bob, and it's one of the best cuts I've ever had. It seems like this product would be too good to be true, but if you're patient, it's super easy to use." —Michelle H
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
38. A pleated skirt to transform all those tops you've been feeling meh about lately into wardrobe stars.
Promising review: "Bought this for a trip to Italy and was AMAZED at the high quality. I’m a curvy girl and would normally get an XL, but after reading reviews about stretchy waistband opted for the L and it was a perfect fit. It hangs beautifully and is very flattering. Highly recommend." —Dr. Shanelle
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 37 colors/styles).
39. Cat-eye sunnies that'll help you maintain your air of mystery and keep the sun out of your used-to-the-indoors eyes.
Promising review: "I love these sunglasses so much!!!! All the sunglasses I buy are $400+ but I came across these and loved the style and shape! I was not disappointed! They’re so chic and so light and great quality! Get them. I got a pack of two and love them both!" —Sandra
Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors and two-packs).
40. A reinforced umbrella can help brighten your outlook when the weather forecast makes you want to say every four-letter word. Having an umbrella you'll wanna be seen using makes a big difference in actually keeping it around. Or at least it does for me!
Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in six more colors).
41. And a Hairbrella that'll easily fold up and be ready for those days when you look like you have GREAT weather. Then all of a sudden the sky opens up and starts pouring.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather since 2016.
Promising review: "I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and I wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the three days were rainy (some quite heavy) and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too. I'm still learning how to adjust it while it's on my head (easier to adjust first and then put it on). Also, when I do have it tightened/pulled to the right place, the loop/slack from where I adjusted it sort of sticks out and gets in my peripheral vision. I wish the adjustment/clasp was on less prominent. But, all in all, this is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their blowout fresh in the rain." —Miss Information
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in nine colors).
42. Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 with tinted options for your face because no one, let me repeat, NO ONE should be walking around sans SPF. No excuses! But the uptick in temps is a solid reminder.
43. And Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 beloved by reviewers with melanated skin. It rubs in (like, actually rubs in) and doesn't leave any ashy white effect.
My colleague Marquaysa Battle also swears by the stuff (and she's so great about skincare!). Here's what she has to say:
"Babyyy! This was the best beauty find of 2020 for me. The first body sunscreen I've found that does NOT leave me looking ashy. Wearing sunscreen regularly (yup, even in the fall) is one of my new self-care methods and I feel good putting this on knowing it a) doesn't look ghostly on me and b) was made by Black women just like me."
Promising review: "My daughter used the original formula and I used the kid's version. We wore it outdoors all day in direct sunlight at the beach and pool (without reapplying like we're supposed to). It worked well, and we didn't have that white hue from other sunscreens. Now, I feel more inclined to wear it more often. Even better, our sensitive skin didn't react to it, not even on our faces." —amsirahC
Get it from Target for $15.99.
44. A spring-loaded coin holder that'll fit nicely into a car cup holder and help you make speedier money moves in the drive-thru and at toll booths.
Promising review: "This product works great! For years I have stored coins in the driver’s side door handle slot ('05 Buick LaCrosse) and now in a plastic dish placed in the tan towel area seen in the photo ('18 Prius). The coin organizer fits perfectly in the center console cup-holder. It’s perfect for accessing exact change when in a drive-thru line. The coins easily slide in and out of their spring-loaded slots." —haparnold
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
45. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that addresses the stuff that tends to give you hangovers. Turns out that a lot of weekends you randomly end up picking up some wine. Um, this will help.
I've tried these before on some weekend friend getaways where we drank a LOT of wine and I think they really work! Just don't get overeager squeezing the bottle because then you can put way too much in your glass and make your wine taste weird. Yep, I did that and learned my lesson. Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be g2g!
Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine, it was so bad I just stopped drinking wine altogether, then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache-free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" —shelleymab

46. A wrap-look crop top to stylishly wear with most any bottom in your closet.
47. A scratchy lil' tool for FINALLY getting all the pet hair off your fabric surfaces.
48. A five-pack of washable mesh shopping totes as a très chic solution to always having to pay for a plastic bag. I own one and can vouch that these beauts ball up into very little space but have some Mary Poppins-like capabilities.
Seriously though, I fill 'er up with heavy hardback library books during weekend errands and most anything else that needs to go in there.
Get them from Amazon for $14.98.
49. A trio of stylish scarves you can tie around your ponytail, neck, purse strap, wrist...so many possibilities!
Promising review: "Totally happy with cost vs. quality. Despite it being made out of polyester, it does feel nice and silky. Quality of printed image is quite alright. Colors are bright on both sides of the scarf. Overall it works great for decorating your handbag (the reason why I got it), can also be used for ponytail, or as a neck accessory. It is likely that I will get back later for one more scarf :)" —Mrs. H
Get them from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four style combos).
50. 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!
Promising review: "This Cuccio milk and honey cuticle moisturizer is truly a cuticle saver. Applying one drop to each cuticle and massaging it in completely will leave your cuticles and hands feeling soft, looking great and the smell is divine. I use it on both my hands and feet and I’m comfortable showing my fingernails and toenails this summer because this product has made it so easy to feel confident knowing I won’t have crusty cuticles." —Rina C
Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in four scents and three sizes).
51. 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.
I use Magic Erasers for all of the above, especially during rushed mornings when all of a sudden a pair of sneakers I planned to wear looks especially dingy. I can't rave about them enough!
Promising review: "Helped to remove the dirt on my white Vans from hiking. I tried using baking soda before but it didn't do anything to the mud. Thanks to Magic Eraser the stains are almost gone!" —Daisy
Get a box of nine from Amazon for $4.94.
52. An easy lip stain for delivering major color that'll stay put for so much longer than regular lipstick or gloss.
53. 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.
Promising review: "These pads are working very well. I had purchased a pair of slip-on casuals that turned out to be a half size too large. The pads comfortably closed the gap! I regretted that I ordered the thinner model, but simply doubled one on top of another. The adhesive is very strong. Tip: Be sure to apply the pad high enough so that the bigger part of your heel ball is below the thickest part of the pad." —Chip C.
Get two pairs from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three color combos).
54. A striped long-sleeve shirt can pair perfectly with your signature red lipstick color.
Reviewers suggest ordering a size up for the perfect fit.
Promising review: "Very cute and comfortable! I like the ribbed fabric and the shirt is long enough to tuck in, but not long enough to bunch up under the waistline of your bottoms." —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 16 colors).
55. A quick-dry top coat for a lasting finish over your home mani.
Promising review: "I've bought so many of these that it's insane! This has to be the number 1 top coat out there! It's durable and oh my gosh so shiny!!! I use it every time I paint my nails, and I'm thrilled with the results. Nothing else on the market compares. Don't waste your money on anything else." —Dawgfan
Get it from Amazon for $6.91.
56. 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.
I have this dry shampoo and it really does work so much harder than regular dry shampoo formulas. When you spray it on, it's more likely to look stark white (don't freak out about it like I did!), but you simply rub it in like you would a normal dry shampoo before you hit the hay. Waking up with de-greased roots definitely gives me a head start on trying to pull myself together these days when, tbh, I'm only (regular) washing my hair once a week. Because this stuff is so potent though, you should really only use it before bedtime. If you're curious about their regular dry shampoos, they're great! The Unicorn scent in particular smells lovely.
Get it from Walmart for $6.38 or Bed Bath & Beyond for $5.99.
57. A swing T-shirt dress in a ton of colors can make it super easy to wear on the reg and look like you have your life together.
Promising review: "This dress is just so perfect! Olive green is such a versatile color and perfect for spring. The fit was as expected. It is long enough to wear as business casual (~ 2 inches above my knees) but I tied it up for a cute going out look. This dress can definitely be a go-to day to night outfit and I want to order it in a few more colors." —Pratyusha Pilla
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXXL and 30 colors).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give this a spin before you buy it!
58. 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 nose a million times a day.
Promising review: "We saw this on Shark Tank, and thought we'd give it a shot. The Chapstick-sized tube is perfect for travel. Walking on a beach with sunglasses on, sweat makes them slide down. Just a couple of dabs of this Nerdwax keeps them in place. It also worked well keeping glasses up during snow blowing in a recent blizzard. So while I'd rather use it walking on a beach, it did the job when I was shoveling snow as well. Is it costly? Yes. But does it work? Yes!" —DeFelice Family
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in one- or four-packs).
59. A bottle of Grip Clean heavy-duty soap made with coconut and olive oils so you can get those exceptionally dirty paws hands of yours back to their normal, clean selves. Yes, it cleans THIS well but doesn't dry out your hands!
Promising review: "I work for the railroad and I am always getting my hands dirty! I could never seem to find anything that worked. Also, I live in Utah so when it starts getting cold my hands dry out. Well, with Grip Clean that doesn’t happen! I have my coworkers coming to my locker asking to get some soap since the soap we have at doesn't work as well as Grip Clean!" —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $10.50.
60. A waterproof Kindle that'll let you bring a TON of reading material with you...even to the splash zone.
I own one of these and swear by the Overdrive app to load up my Kindle with tons of library books before I go on a trip. (Hot tip: Share the app login with your family members who live in other places, so you can access multiple library systems. My family uses three library systems for ours!) It takes up a small amount of space in my bag and easily fits into the back pocket of a plane seat. Plus, it doesn't cause eye strain because it's built to look like an actual page of paper. When I'm not traveling, I use it nearly daily to play games and, naturally, read books. When I buy something, I normally try to justify it by asking myself if I'll use the item at least once for every dollar I spend. Welp, I've gotten use 4x over in that sense with my Kindle.
Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in 8GB and 32GB and in blue).
61. A soft faux-leather tote as a flexible option when you need to gather your essentials for a quick getaway from your roommates at the coffee shop around the corner they somehow haven't discovered yet.
Promising review: "It is hard to complain about an item that is exactly what you are looking for. Come on, the price point can't be beat, the lovely extra that came with the bag (bag scarf) is super cute. This is a bag I use to hold a few extra items for quick trips out of town. This bag is a composite product, like tennis shoes and the like. There is almost always that 'new car' smell, which is one way to describe it, for these types of items. But unlike a new car, this is a barely detectable smell, that is faint and is gone by the time you threw the packaging away. Zero complaints, will buy in other colors!" —D.S.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in a variety of colors).
62. Slip-on sneakers in a perforated style to make every well-cushioned step look a bit fancier.
Promising review: "These are really cute! True to color. I will say that other reviews suggesting you size down are accurate. I usually wear an 8.5 and ordered an 8. They are comfortable, I would even say a little loose, I really think I could have done the 7.5! But these will be great as I like to wear no show socks and thing they’ll be perfect once I put those on!" —Cynthia V.
Get them from Amazon for $19+ (available in sizes 5–12 and a variety of colors).
63. A bodycon pencil dress will be great for the office...but also can be dressed up in all sorts of ways for special events where you know you'll be posing for a ton of pics.
Promising review: "I love this dress. Simple, classy, and professional. It molds to my body in all the right ways, and it wasn't too long. It can be worn with a nice necklace to spruce it up, and flats and/or pumps. The material is also versatile enough so that it can be worn year-round, all you need is a pair of stockings or tights, but the dress will work either way. I plan to order more colors." —LadyLestat
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes L–5X and 10 colors).
64. A headrest hook to keep your purse nearby so you're not the driver who turns around to dig through their purse in the backseat and misses the green light. It'll also help prevent the contents of your purse spilling all over the car floor if you take a turn too fast or have to slam on the brakes.
Promising review: "These hooks work great and function exactly the way I had hoped for! I actually turned them around and use them for the front of the seat, rather than the back. These hooks have solved the dreaded 'bag dump' when you have to break suddenly. No more lunch spilling all over the inside of my work bag!!" —KLGS
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
65. Strappy sandals in case you, like me, have had the horrific experience of stepping out of a flip-flop on a dirty city street. Or perhaps you just have good taste. Could be both!
Promising review: "These sandals are so comfortable! I needed something dressier than fashion flip-flops for work, but not too dressy, and these work perfectly. I wear a 9.5-10 (depending on the shoe) and bought these in 9.5 and they fit great. They also have a little cushion and not completely flat. I can wear these all day with no problem." —Denise Carter
Get them from Amazon for $20.40+ (available in sizes 5–13 and six colors).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give this a spin before you buy it!
66. A lightweight button-down tank ready to be paired with your white jeans or that wrap skirt you wear every chance you get.
Promising review: "I love these shirts so much! I have a couple of colors and will buy more! They’re super comfortable, the material is great, and they look good with pretty much any bottoms! You can dress them down or up, and so far, they’ve been fine in both the washer and dryer." —C_Jameson
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in 18 colors and in sizes S–5XL)
67. A set of adjustable clip holders to help hide your bra straps under your racerback tops and dresses.
Promising review: "My bra straps spent more time off my shoulders than on them. I have bras that fit perfectly, but the straps are too wide-set or something. I'm so glad I bought these little bra strap clip holders because they've solved the problem. I've used them for three days now, and my straps have not fallen off of my shoulders even once in that time. Amazing! I love them! I put a clip holder on my bra and then put the bra on like a T-shirt — over my head, put my arms in, then fasten it as usual in the back — pretty easy. The length of the clip holders are adjustable. I have fully extended them to fit across the back of my 38DD bras. At first it felt a bit odd because it was different, but it doesn't take long to adjust to the feel of it. The strap clip holders do the job, and they are pretty cheap, so give them a try." —Polly Esther
