1. A tiny milk frother that makes rich, creamy froths in seconds, because why stop at regular tea and coffee when you can have velvety-soft milk tea and lattes?
Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at-home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly. If you’re on the fence I’d say, what are you waiting for? Buy it already!" —Denise
Get it from Amazon for $15.29 (available in seven styles).
2. A breezy, spring-friendly chiffon cardigan you'll be especially grateful for on days in between spring and summer when you're playing a game of chicken with your weather app. This comes in *dozens* of patterns, so you're bound to find one that matches your vibe.
Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this kimono. It is my absolute fave! I felt very beautiful while wearing it. It’s lightweight and adds the perfect touch of fancy when added to any outfit! I used it to dress up a few outfits and also as a swimsuit coverup. You can dress up or down with it! It’s my new go to beach outfit!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes S–5XL and 40 colors).
3. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds that make *excellent* AirPod dupes, except arguably better — these are completely waterproof (like, you can fully take them in the shower) and come with several silicone earbuds to get the best fit possible.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge).
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold
Get it from Amazon $23.99+ (clip the "5% off coupon" on the product page for this price; available in five colors).
4. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen that gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just...you know. Existing as a human with teeth.
Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page for this price).
5. A customizable under-the-desk laptop holder you can easily install to stash your computer away (and keep it nice and charged!) when you need the extra space or want to tidy up your desk. Reviewers love this Etsy version because it isn't made of metal and won't scratch up your hardware.
Seekon Solutions is a Massachusetts-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in small 3D-printed day-to-day items.
Promising review: "I had been looking for an under desk mount for my laptop on Amazon. The options I came across all seemed to be metallic, and many reviews complained of scratching laptops. Well, one quick trip to Etsy and I stumbled on this elegant, but simple solution made of material that won't scratch your device! I am very pleased with this under mount solution for my laptop. Mounting was easy (thanks for the included screws) and the product is sturdy. Will buy another mounting solution from this seller when I get a docking station to mount under my desk." —karldwhite
Get it from Seekon Solutions on Etsy for $14.88 (available in three colors, two thicknesses, and custom thickness).
6. A rose gold rechargeable electric lighter you can use to replace all your old gas ones. This one is not only chic as heck, but completely flameless, and made with a long stem so you can use it to light gas burners and larger candles without dealing with an open flame.
This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended-arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it. You can read my full review of the Leejie electric lighter for more deets!
Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this on a TikTok. Knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite3012
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors).
7. A box of kombucha tablets to let you live your best boochiest life for a fraction of the price — you can just set one of these tablets in 12 ounces of water, and bam. Instant refreshing kombucha in delicious flavors like Guava Rose, Strawberry Cucumber, and Mango Pineapple, *plus* no lugging heavy, wasteful kombucha bottles to and from the store!
Promising review: "Recyclable packaging, easy to use, great flavor, and helpful for gut problems. What more could you ask for, really? I love these and will be trying all the other flavors. There's no 'weird' aftertaste but it's not super sugary either. Very lightly sweet and pleasant, with no carbonation to irritate your stomach. I see myself being a longtime customer!" —uwu
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $15 (available in three flavors and in a larger variety pack).
8. Essence's Princess False Lash Effect mascara for length so effective, it will make your eyelashes look like they could take flight, but natural enough that they won't be mistaken for falsies.
Promising review: "This is the absolute best mascara I have ever used hands down! And let me tell you, I have tried dozens of mascaras, from high-end to drugstore brands; mascara is my number one go-to makeup item! I have light eyelashes so mascara is a must. This mascara volumizes AND lengthens and builds up like a dream! This mascara has no smell and does not irritate my eyes at all! Not to mention, you absolutely can't beat the price!! I have purchased multiple tubes of this and will continue to buy this as my number-one choice! Please never stop making this, Essence!" —Sierra Jones
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
9. A pair of ridiculously comfortable pull-on Levi's jeans for anyone who wants a go-to basic that'll work with just about any T-shirt in their closet. These are so comfy and easy to put on that they'll will make you want to throw your regular jeans out the window.
Promising review: "These jeggings are great! They’re super cute, soft, and fit really well. I didn’t realize they were going to be 'waist cinching' or whatever (didn’t read the description as I just saw them on TikTok and ordered), so they are right and kind of difficult to get on, but once I got them on they were snug and actually really comfortable! Probably going to order another pair!" —Amazon Customer
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can try this piece out before you buy it!
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes 2–28, three inseams, and six colors).
10. A hand-powered chopper that'll make you low key feel like you're playing with a kid's wind up toy, but also save you a TON of time and effort. Also now that veggies are fun to chop, maybe in 2022 you'll actually? Wanna?? Eat some????? (Let's not get too carried away.)
Promising review: "This chopper is amazing!! I love cooking, but used to absolutely HATE chopping onions... until someone gave me this chopper! Now I simply have to quarter the onion, throw it in the chopper, pull the handle about 10–15 times, and they're ready to be used! No more teary eyes or spending a long time chopping onions. The cup is big enough to fit a whole onion... I think the capacity is 3 cups. There's tons of other uses to this as well... you can chop pretty much anything from herbs, veggies and fruits, to making salsa and guacamole." —Valjulia
Get it from Amazon for $18.39 (available in three colors).
11. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, an Olaplex "dupe" repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and in between other compares products that were four times the price, I decided to bite the bullet and buy this — let me tell you, best decision ever! I shampooed my hair, then heavily massaged this in, from ends to scalp. The carton says 5-20 minutes... But I ended up leaving it in for two days! And after washing it out, my hair was so shiny, bouncy, and CURLY! My curl recovery journey has been long, but this has helped restore so much vibrance and shape to my hair. My mom has been stealing it from my bathroom every couple of days, after having similar results on her hair. Going to need to buy a few more to ward her off." —curlyhead3

Get a bottle from Amazon for $6.78.
12. A set of exfoliating gloves for the bath or shower you can use to ~deep clean~ all over your body, letting you get extra specific about the exfoliation pressure because you're using your own hands to do it. These also come in three different textures — light, moderate, and heavy — so you can get one to best match your skin sensitivity.
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite purchases. Not gonna lie, TikTok made me buy this. So I buy it and I’m still a little nervous because it’s literally a glove. But nah, I used it with liquid body soap and I’ve never felt so clean in my whole life. I got out of the shower feeling like a freshly birthed baby. My skin had never felt so clean and I questioned how I went 32 years without this." —Brittney
Get a pair from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three textures and as sets of two or three).
13. An adorably encouraging daily planner you can fill out throughout the course of each day to keep yourself on track for all your calls, goals, and even your water intake — an easy way to keep yourself on track if you don't have an office setting or regular routine doing it for you.
Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.
Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.
Promising review: "These notepads helped me reframe and focus every day working from home during the pandemic. I used to use a daily planner but working from home changed how I need to plan my work tasks, and personal tasks. I found this helpful for both!" —kristenjoann
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
14. Plus a set of eye-popping fine point pens designed not to bleed through pages for planners and journals, so you can — gasp — color code your tasks, putting a fun twist on them that makes it all the more motivating to stay focused 🌈.
Promising review: "I love how this pen feels to hold and it writes beautifully! I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use and I don't remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!" —Marcia
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $8.49.
15. A dimmable halo grow light for your plants so they can get the precise personalized care your plant babies *deserve* — you can even set a timer for them, so there's no need to unplug and replug. Reviewers swear by these for small plants that need a lil' extra love, and plants that don't get much exposure in winter!
Promising review: "These little lights are single handedly saving my plants! I live in a north facing apartment so winters are especially rough and my plant just wasn’t doing well until getting this little halo light. I am so relieved I found a solution that works!! Finally I can tuck plants in cute corners without worrying about access to a window. The timer function is awesome, but the little colored light on the button stays on 24/7 which is annoying at night if it’s in the bedroom because it is pretty bright. But it’s easy to turn it off and click it back on with the timer in the morning if that’s the case! So easy to use and set up, I didn’t even need to read the instructions. I also love the telescoping feature, I was worried about the light being too close and burning the leaves but it gets very tall which is great.100% recommend!!!!" —Lilly Shaffer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
16. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant to help exfoliate and smooth skin by dealing with rough patches or dry bumps — a lot of reviewers with keratosis pilaris and similar skin textures swear by this!
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and Instagram. I decided to try it and it really works. I used it on my thighs and upper arms. I noticed a difference the first time and even more the second time!!! Fabulous product. Worth every penny." —Lana
Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in three sizes).
17. A bottle of nail and cuticle repair oil that you simply brush on your nail beds once a day to condition and strengthen all those brittle spots and painful hangnails, leaving you with thick, strong nails and nail beds you're not tempted to pick at all the livelong day.
Promising review: "Found it on TikTok and I’m so pleased with the results. My nails are getting stronger and growing. And the best of all, not chipping. Love it." —sidna saavedra
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
18. A reviewer-beloved pair of waterproof EVA slides so versatile you'll make them part of your sunny day uniform — people compare their comfy, lightweight feel to Crocs, but with a more elevated look (particularly because there are no brand labels on it).
Promising review: "For what I paid for these shoes, I did not expect much beyond the fun style. Instead, I’m pretty sure I just found my favorite summer shoe! These are comfy and pretty darn cute too! They sort of feel like the materials that Crocs are made of, and look just like the Birkenstock shoe of the same material, except with no name printed on the side. There is support in the middle of the foot all the way across, not just in the arch. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and I expect this will actually help that. But mostly it’s just a super soft waterproof shoe that will go everywhere with me except maybe a formal dinner! Then again, if the dress were long enough, I might even consider sneaking them in ... LOL. Buy the shoe, you won’t regret it." —Nicole M.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 38 colors).
19. A slim organizer tray for your cutlery to save you so much drawer space that you'll feel like you just opened an extra pocket in the time-space-fork continuum. No more jamming the messy drawer shut and praying it stays that way, y'all!
20. A pair of lightweight chunky hoop earrings perfect for anyone who is *very* picky about their aesthetic — you can get these in three different colors and four different sizes to make sure they exactly suit your vibe. Reviewers also love how comfy they are for all-day wear!
Promising review: "OMG I’m obsessed with these earrings. They’re so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They’re great quality and I usually can’t wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch like crazy. This one didn’t do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn’t do that either. I’m going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Highlyyy recommend." —Ziyana Iyer
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and three colors).
21. An Acure Brilliantly Brightening Facial Scrub made with sea kelp and French green clay for a delightful detox that takes care of dead skin cells and impurities, leaving you with soft, glowy skin ✨.
Promising review: "Yay! This stuff is a lifesaver. Recently my doctor put me on steroids to clear up my allergies. I immediately started breaking out like I was 15 again (it was one of the side effects. I should’ve read the pamphlet they give) and being 25, that doesn't really happen anymore. I didn't have a good exfoliator and this one had such good reviews that I decided to try it out. It really works! In eight days my skin was almost back to normal and it felt clean as can be! My dark acne spots were significantly lighter and all the little bumps i had were gone. Will be buying this from here on out." —janelle
Get it from Amazon for $8.93.
22. A knee stabilizer band for knee pain relief both in the short term *and* long term, whether you get it from running, hiking, team sports, or jumping up and down every time you hear a Bruno Mars song start playing at a wedding reception.
Promising review: "This brace works like magic. I purchased to help with knee pain from cycling, and I just make sure it's on tight and just underneath my patella and I have zero pain or discomfort now. Would definitely recommend. Comes with two braces!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.99 (available in four colors).
23. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait 8 to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you.
Promising review: "This stuff is a lifesaver. Life is tremendously busy with kids and cleaning the shower is at the bottom of the list. I bought this due to pure frustration and disgust of my shower and it has turned it around in a weekend. You literally spray it and forget it and just with that little effort, I have a clean shower!! Also great for glass doors. It cleaned everything! Love it!" —Amanda Nichols
Get it from Amazon for $16.89.
24. An iced coffee holder so you can carry your favorite cold beverage *and* text your friends screenshots of atrocious things you've seen on dating app bios at the same! time!! Reviewers also love this for keeping the cold condensation off their hands.
Dreamy Daisy is a Washington, DC-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in canvas tote bags and accessories.
Psst — I own one of these myself and love it for the convenience of texting on the go! And also the convenience I am experiencing in the above photo, in which I am in fact double fisting hot chocolate and tea like a boss. These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!
Promising review: "These are awesome! Arrived very fast, great quality, sturdy and strong fabric, and they work well! They hold large and medium Dunkin' Donuts' coffees perfectly! Just right for going for a walk, playing Pokémon Go, or getting in/out of the car with your drink. Now easier than ever to multitask and stay caffeinated!" —Marian
Get it from Dreamy Daisy on Etsy for $15.99 (available in five colors).
25. A shampoo scalp massager you can use in the shower to massage and exfoliate your scalp, so you can get all of the relaxing decadence of feeling like someone is massaging your head without physically going to a salon. Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this has also helped with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness!
I started using one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice.
Promising review: "I have dermatitis and when it strikes my entire head, not just scalp hurts. After hearing it from a group about remedies for dermatitis, I bought this. One day when the pain struck again, I used this with my regular shampoo and washed. The massage gave instant relief and my headache was gone in less than 20 minutes. I would definitely recommend this product not just for people with my condition, but also for regular hair massages. Easy to hold, doesn’t slip off the hand and soft enough on the scalp." —Ro
Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (available in three colors).
26. An adjustable kitchen stand for when you need an extra hand — these four "fingers" will serve as a stand to open up bags to deposit leftovers, a handy drying rack, a quick compost bin, and so much more. It also collapses for easy storage and has silicone tips to make sure bags don't slip!
Promising review: "Beyond 5 stars. I can't find anything I don't like about this piece of ingenuity. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Holds pretty much anything; poles are super tall for large cups and pans and blender containers. It holds Ziploc bags to dry and a gallon Ziploc bag as a container. Holds my reusable beeswax wraps. Folds away out of sight." —Firecracker
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).
27. A soap pump dispenser that deserves an award for Making Life A Little Bit Easier — you rest your sponge on top of it and press down and voilà! Instantly soaped-up sponge.
28. A silicone baking mat for your sheet pan, so on days when you've run out of time to do anything orderly for dinner you can just slap a bunch of veggies and frozen goods down, drizzle them in olive oil, and shove them in the oven. Bonus: these are super easy to clean, so you won't have to deal with a mess!
Promising review: "I use these mats multiple times a day. They make cleanup super easy, which is really important in my hectic life. They wipe off easily with just water." —Tasia Lung
Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.15.
29. A set of bedsheet fasteners to lock your fitted sheets neatly into place once and for all, so you can finally get the peaceful, untangled sleep you deserve every night.
Promising review: "These work like magic to keep my sheets on my bed. My sheets would constantly pop off because of the memory foam topper that’s on my mattress for comfort. Now the topper and sheets stays in place! No more mattress showing." —Carmen
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.95 (available in three colors).
30. A set of Sea Bands, which target an acupuncture point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. Basically, if you're someone who has motion sickness, morning sickness, migraine nausea, or even nausea brought on by cramps, this may the be thing to take you from 🥴to 😊.
Promising review: "These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially car sickness. My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. At one point I did have one child remove their bands because they said they were getting too tight. But after only a few minutes without them, a headache started to come on, so they immediately put them back on and the relief was instant. I have suffered for decades and now I know better. I will never travel without mine again!" —1SmartCookie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.59 (available in adult and children's sizes).
31. A Saucemoto dip clip so you can enjoy the sweet, delicious freedom of dipping your fries into ketchup at a red light without cosplaying as that red light when the ketchup ends up all over your lap.
Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela
Get set of two from Amazon for $9.90.
32. A set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep.
33. A self-adhesive paper towel roll holder you can install on the the wall or bottom of a cabinet to free up counter space (and prevent your paper towels from getting mucked up from things that might spill on the counter!).
34. A dream balm made with calming herbs and essential oils like lavender, chamomile, mugwort, and valerian to help you nod off to dreamland and get yourself back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night.
Y'all, I am one of the world's worst sleepers and I swear by this HARD — particularly for when I wake up in the middle of the night and my brain is in "ah, let's think all the thoughts we've ever had at the SAME TIME" mode. I rub it on my temples and the insides of my wrists and take a big whiff from the canister and it's usually a lot easier for me to doze back off, when typically I might spend *hours* trying to conk back out. I've also found a little bit of this goes a long way — I've had this a few months and doubt I'll have to replace it for awhile!
Woodland Herbal is an Ohio-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in skincare, salves, and tea blends.
Promising review: "I tried it last night and I haven’t slept this hard in a long time. The smell alone is soothing when you put it on your temples as you drift off to sleep. I usually toss and turn but I slept like a rock." —Emily Irvin
Get it from Woodland Herbal on Etsy for $16.
35. A time-marked gallon water bottle for anyone whose hydration goal has graduated to a full-on hydration flex. Midday headaches and brain fog?? Never heard of 'em.
Promising review: "I was challenged to buy a 1-gallon water jug and use it with two other people. As a result of increasing my water intake, my skin is softer, and my energy is better. I drank four coffees a day, but now the coffees are gone, replaced by the water. This changed my life and I will continue to use my water jug. I think everyone believes they drink enough water a day but using a measuring system puts it into perspective how little water we actually drink every day as opposed to coffee, soda, or sports drinks. This is worth trying especially with other people to motivate you." —Rachel Gaspar
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 23 colors).
36. A handy pancake batter dispenser and mixer to guarantee you'll get mess-free, beautifully blended, perfectly portioned pancakes every time. The silicone tip is even heat-resistant, so you can get up close and personal with the pan if you wanna flex some pancake art skills. Plus? Cleanup is as easy as shaking soap and water into it.
Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Breakfast has never been faster or easier! And it doesn't make noise that will wake everyone up while I am mixing. The silicone tip is real silicone (for those wondering about the pinch test) and does well against cast iron. I have never been able to get my pancakes this fluffy until now! So great! Planning on buying more from this brand! It is also super easy to clean. The bottom comes off to fill it up and it turns into a holder for the bottle by setting the top into the bottom setting. It suggests putting in your liquid first them your mix but if making a large amount you might have to gently tap it a bit." —KC Hunter
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
37. A necklace detangling clasp so you can layer your favorite pieces over an outfit the exact way you want them without having to pull them apart like bickering siblings at the end of each day.
Theresa Rose is a California-based Etsy shop established in 2007 that specializes in custom birthstone and personalized jewelry gifts.
Former BuzzFeeder Kayla Suazo tried these out and loved 'em: "I recently bought a couple of these and had one of those very real WHY DIDN'T I BUY ONE OF THESE SOONER moments. They do an amazing job at keeping your necklaces from tangling as you wear them, and I love that I can layer multiple of my favorites at once. I am forever sold on these."
Get it from Theresa Rose on Etsy for $13.49+ (available in gold and silver and with two, three, or four clasps).
38. A two-stage knife-sharpener, because those blades you bought back in the day?? They're probably super dull by now, even if you haven't noticed since it's happened over time. But as all the pros know, sharper knives = faster, safer cooking, so you can ~refresh~ them with this.
Promising review: "Wow, this little gadget is pretty amazing! I have some old (expensive) nonserrated knives that are supposed to never need sharpening but, unfortunately, lost their sharp edge long ago. I saw this gadget and decided to try it. I set the bottom of this gadget on the edge of the counter and ran one of the knives through the side labeled 'Coarse' about 10 times, then ran it through the side labeled 'Fine' another 8–10 times. Bingo! The knife was transformed back to its former high-dollar cutlery glory. I could hardly believe how effectively it had sharpened the knife, which I had been ready to throw away a week before. I've been happily sharpening all our knives and trying to add up in my head how much money I've saved by NOT having to buy another set of expensive knives. I don't know where else you can spend $6 and get this return for the money. Great score!" —Schelly L. Wagoner

39. A waterproof pouch to keep your phone and other "doesn't play well with water"–type gadgets safe. Not only does this keep it safe, but you can still use the touchscreen with it, meaning you can take underwater travel photos galore 🐠🐟🐡.
It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options).
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).
40. A power scrubber brush you can attach to a DRILL (!!) that basically does all of the hard grime busting for you, so you don't have to have sore arms for a week just because you dared to wipe down the shower.
41. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that works its magic on your glass in just 20 seconds — instead of reaching for more expensive wines with fewer sulfates, you can enjoy a reasonably-priced pinot knowing you've spared yourself the infamous post-wine headache or allergic reactions.
It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. 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 raring to go!
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

42. A bath overflow drain cover so you can finally get the luxurious, full-to-the-brim bath soak you deserve without listening to that disappointing wurgity-gurgle as the tub sucks down all that lovely hot water back down the drain.
Promising review: "I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra 3 inches of water and it is great." —Hyacinthe Snyder

43. A backseat hook perfect for purses and groceries so you don't have to worry about all your loose fruit and beloved bottles of two-buck Chuck rolling around in the backseat every time the car takes a sharp turn.
Promising review: "I thought this might be one of the silly things I sometimes fall for. Nope. These are awesome. I keep one on the driver's side headrest and the other on the passenger side. I prefer to use the passenger one, because I can reach into my purse from the driver's seat, but if I've got extra people in the car, it's nice to have the flexibility to keep my purse on either side. Also, they fit very snugly and are tough. My purse easily weighs 20 pounds, and it never looks like they're strained." —Kendra

44. A luggage drink caddy for anyone who considers the Starbucks mermaid a copilot — this sticks right into your wheeled luggage and has two roomy pockets for drinks, water bottles, your snacks, your phone, and whatever else was taking up room in your hands on the go.
Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it’s my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

45. A set of Wad-Free pads to ensure that your sheets stay separate from each other in the dryer and come out fresh, dry, and unwrinkled instead of looking like they got into a wet cotton brawl.
Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and not only did my sheets NOT wad up, but they also came out of the dryer feeling fresher, more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

46. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you can plop into your sink, run a little water on, and let its blue magic fizz its way up to the top while clearing out all the gunk from your culinary adventures in one go.
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.98.
47. A mini trash can you can slide into a drink holder or the backseat pockets as an easy way to cut down on miscellaneous clutter you will inevitably have to go on an Indiana Jones-esque deep dive to collect later.
Promising review: "Fits perfect in the cup holder on the side of my door which is where I tend to hoard the most trash. If it ever gets dirty it washes easily. The lid comes on and off, easily making it easy to just dump it every time I'm at the gas station. I saw this on TikTok and it turned out to be a great impulse buy." —Jacqueline Todd
