1. A toilet-cleaning gel you can stamp inside your toilet so it can continually clean with every flush for two weeks at a time, essentially doing all the work for you.
Promising review: "What can I say? This smells great and helps deodorize the water closet. It helps sanitize and keeps the bowl clean after every flush...and I can't be the only one who's satisfied when I click, press, and release the little jewel-looking gel tab onto the inside of a sparkling-clean bowl!" —Gino
Get a pack of 12 gel stamps and a dispenser from Amazon for $19.99.
2. A dishwasher magnet so nobody ever has to do the awkward guessing game of "what is the current status of this plate I want to eat off of" (or worse, nobody accidentally puts a bunch of dirty dishes away 😬).
Promising review: "I bought this because of a TikTok video. Super cool and now nobody has to ask me if the dishes are clean or not." —D. Washington
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
3. 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: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet & Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.89.
4. A set of reusable nonstick oven liners, because as much as we all love to be jerked out of our Netflix marathon to the unholy sound of the fire alarm going off when old bits of food start to scorch the bottom of the oven, there is a better way.
They're BPA and PFOA free, but be sure to read the instructions to determine where to place them based on the type of oven you have — some reviewers placed them directly onto the bottom of their ovens instead of on a rack, which can cause them to burn.
Promising review: "These liners are life changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple; no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut down to size to fit my toaster oven also. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, as he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil, which he found so annoying, deterring him from grilling. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Kindle Custommer
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.99.
5. Plus an affordable silicone baking mat for your sheet pan, so you can roast big batches of veggies or family meals with all your favorite sauces and seasonings without worrying about a big ole cleanup session afterwards (or wasting parchment paper).
6. A Petcube, which is basically a Furbo without all the extra bells and whistles — this super-reliable pet-monitoring camera has a wide angle and night vision so you can check on your pet 24/7 and even talk to them, giving you a whole new peace of mind whenever you leave the house.
Petcube is a California-based small business established in 2012 that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products.
It's also app enabled and can send you instant notifications, sync with Amazon Alexa, and even access a vet on demand if you notice any weird behaviors.
Promising review: "Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who keeps digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39 but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." —Rick Grisham
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
7. A six-outlet wall charger designed to work with MULTIPLE large chargers. It also comes equipped with two USB fast-charging ports *and* a night-light, so your under-the-desk setup or kitchen can be as organized as possible.
Promising review: "I've bought three of these guys, two for my tech-loaded bedroom (PC, two monitors, Xbox, printer, CPAP machine, Switch, desk lamps, desk fan...) and one for my parents' electronics corner (printer, phone chargers...). We love them. The USB slots alone make these worth the price. Frees up a socket that would normally be a dedicated USB converter. The sockets are spaced out enough that chunky plugs don't block other plugs. The screw prevents the whole assembly from falling out or even wiggling much. Overall, absolutely delighted and glad I stumbled across these. The night-light is a nice touch, too. I wouldn't have missed it if it weren't there, but I love that it is." —Eh?Dub!
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
8. An adorably encouraging daily planner you can fill out throughout the course of each day to keep yourself and the rest of the household on track for everything from your appointments to grocery errands to water intake, so nothing major slips through the cracks.
Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.
Promising review: "These notepads helped me reframe and focus everyday 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 $10.99.
9. Plus a set of eye-popping fine point pens designed 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 tackle them 🌈.
Perhaps most importantly for anyone out there planning to go full Leslie Knope on these is that they're designed not to bleed through thin pages!
Promising review: "I bought these pens during quarantine, not expecting much, considering they are quite inexpensive. I've used well-known brand marker/pens in the past, and didn't want to pay much for markers I'd use for coloring. I was concerned about the tips bending or bleeding, but I was completely wrong and am very satisfied with this product! They do not bleed, and the tips are strong and thin. I use these pens for coloring, hand-lettering, and note-taking, and they're exactly what I was looking for! The only regret I have is that I did not order the larger pack with more colors!!" —Michael Fanizzi

10. A lazy Susan turntable for your pantry or fridge that will make storing and perusing your condiment stash so much more painless in crowded spaces, since you can access the Sriracha without ketchup, mustard, and a half-eaten tub of frosting landing on your unsuspecting toe.
11. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which will truly do a number on everything from dirty stove tops to grimy sinks to caked-over ovens. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.
Promising review: "Honestly I was very skeptical when I first purchased. Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of bandwagon. Of course I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super-fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Overall very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa
12. A drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go.
Promising review: I have tried everything I could think of to unclog my tub drain, all the nasty chemicals, plunging, auger, and then I came across these plastic strips with evil teeth LOL. They arrived today, didn't come with instructions, not that you really need any. I worked and worked and pulled out the horrific, nasty, slimy hair clog. It even pulled out a plastic razor cap (thank you teenage daughters). Mind you, that clog didn't come out in one full piece (gag), but in many pieces at first, the appetizers if you will. Finally, the main course reared its ugly head. Gross. These things work and work well. A little elbow grease and will power and voilà. My tub drain completely drains now. I couldn't be happier!" —GaPeach

13. A sneaky little K-Cup storage drawer to neatly hide all your coffee pods and accoutrements, and also give your Keurig a little kitchen throne to put all the other appliances in their place.
Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups.
Promising review: "I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." —tunisianswife
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in nine styles).
14. A four-piece sock and underwear organizer to spare you the indignity of rooting around your dresser drawers every morning looking for that one! specific! bra!! that is *definitely* in there somewhere. (The comfy one, to be clear.)
Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! At just $15 for four organizers I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $15.87+ (available in seven colors).
15. A slim, space-saving cutlery drawer organizer for anyone who is looking to tame the jostling mess of spoons and forks once and for all *and* make it that much easier to put their cutlery away.
Promising review: "This was a quarantine impulse buy for me: I suddenly want everything in my home perfectly organized. This was great, The top row fits my set of steak knives and the bottom row holds miscellaneous knives for chopping." —MKB from CT
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two colors).
16. A 3D-printed key holder/envelope keeper, aka an organizational BFF for anyone who's living with roommates. This way you can keep your outgoing mail and keys separate from everyone else's without cluttering your desk or the top of your dresser with it.
Crossover Designs is a Florida-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in 3D-printed home products.
Each of these fits a standard double gang (toggle/rocker) light switch cover, and can be installed easily without drilling, nails, or glue.
Promising review: "Love it! Simple, sleek, space saving, smart...who knew I’d be so stoked for a switch plate cover! Not to mention the customer service was very personal and attentive." —Kelsey Johnson
Get it from Crossover Designs on Etsy for $17.99+ (available in six colors and two finishes).
17. A set of clear drawer organizers that will finally force you to reckon with the abyss of your "junk drawers" once and for all. Start with the makeup one, move onto the technology one, and then — if you dare — tackle the one with all the hair ties too.
Promising review: "I love these stacking storage organizers. They fit perfectly in the bathroom drawers, even if you stack them. I use the smaller ones for holding cotton makeup pads and other smaller cosmetic items. I store fingernail polish and items I don't use every day in the larger square containers that fit on the bottom. The long ones are used in the top drawer for toothpaste, hairbrushes, tubes of smaller first aid items, moisture eye drops, etc. I liked them so well, I ordered a second set and threw away the thin, funky plastic organizers I had used for years. These are much classier." —JW
Get a set from Amazon for $14.99.
18. A cabinet organizer with a ~~secret drawer~~ that slides out so you can both take advantage of the vertical space in your cabinets *and* grab stuff from the back without toppling everything else over.
Promising review: "These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based off the high ratings and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" —Brad J. Leahy
Get it on Amazon for $25.97+ (also available in bronze).
19. A sturdy hanger stacker to neatly store the hangers you aren't using, so they don't take up precious real estate in your closet or get tangled up in each other and create even *more* chaos.
Promising review: "The struggle with hangers has been real for quite some time, I wish I would have known about this thing sooner! Seriously, laundry is annoying enough, to not fight with hangers will be wonderful. It doesn't wiggle and seems sturdy. Hopefully it stays that way because this has saved me a ton of room and hassle!" —Kara Adams
Get it from Amazon for $23.61.
20. A set of clear Command strips to install a cute (and easily removable!) little mask station by your front door, which is far more efficient than the piles you've had on the front table you were loosely organizing by "clean" and "clean, I think??"
The sticky backing on these are strong enough to support objects, but designed to be easy to remove by tugging at the bottom of the sticker to gently undo the adhesive without damaging the paint or the wall. This is my little "mask station" up top — you can read more about some of BuzzFeeders' favorite face masks for more cute and handy finds!
Promising review: "I have long been a fan of Command hooks. I bought these to finally get some pieces hung in my house. I can now look over and see some of my favorites hanging on the wall instead of just resting against the books on the shelves. They are easy to use and I've never had one ruin a wall." —P. Woodland
Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $8.99.
21. A popular pan shelf to instantly organize all those cabinets that are basically just an unhelpful void of space you keep shoving things into and hoping they don't fall back out on your feet.
Promising review: "We have old cupboards, without the drawers that pull out to make access easier. Before we got this rack, our pots and pans were a jumble in a cupboard beneath the cook top. We have so much more space now that the skillets are stacked on this rack. A side benefit is that the nonstick pans don't get scratched because they aren't stacked inside one another. We love it." —Susan E.
Get it from Amazon for $15.87.
22. A set of gold cable organizers that'll tame the tangle of wires on your desk as chicly as possible *and* give your desk just the upgrade it needs to fall back in love with it.
Brighttia is a New York-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in industrial and modern interior lighting and decor.
Promising review: "These brass cable organizers are beautiful and high quality. I’m using two of them to keep a plug-in sconce cord attached to the wall and to direct the cord to the electrical outlet. These little gold pieces add a touch of functionality and glamour to the sconces. Exactly what I was looking for." —Amy Margolis
Get a set of two from Brighttia on Etsy for $11.98 (available in four colors).
23. A pair of air-tight cereal dispensers to tame the precarious pile of cereal boxes threatening to fall off the top of your fridge at any moment.
Psst — a lot of people use this to safely store pet food, too!
Promising review: "We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space!!! We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I've been trying to declutter, and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!" —tenle
Get it from Amazon for $42.07+ (available in four colors).
24. A set of stackable fridge drawers so you never reach in for a seltzer and have three bags of shredded cheese and an apple fall out on you again. The transparency of these is also great because it reminds you to eat your fruits + veggies before they go bad!
Promising review: "Excellent organization system! I once opened the fridge often, always looking for something I hadn't seen the last time I checked. The thing is — I often found something new because it just wasn't organized in a functional way. Now, with this system, I find what I'm looking for the first time. And when a bin is empty, I know I need to buy more of that product and just ask my smarthome to add that item to my shopping list. Very grateful for the sense of calm and control that this fridge organization system has given me, and for all of the food that is no longer going bad in the back of the fridge!" —Chelsea T.
Get a set of six from Amazon for $29.99.
25. Plus a set of fully customizable waterproof stickers designed for fridge use, so you can neatly organize all your fridge's contents (and gently remind anyone who might look to *disrupt* that fragile order that the cheese does have its own rightful drawer, DEAREST).

Promising review: "Lovely shop owner, extremely prompt with answering all my questions. Very helpful to ensure I got the correct sizes for my labels. Fast turnaround time and speedy shipping!

They're made of 100% food-grade, heat-resistant silicone, so you won't have to worry about them melting.
Promising review: "I don't know why I haven't had these sooner!! They make keeping my stove area clean SO MUCH easier!

Promising review: "These are spectacular!!! They are airtight so the week's food I do for lunches and such stay fresh for the whole week. They are strong and very durable. The four-part latching system ensures your food is completely sealed. The seal ring is removable for easy cleaning. The nice pop-top vent allows food to cool if packed in hot. Once cool, close pop-top and stick in the fridge. Husband is rough on things including his lunch box and so far these are holding up so nice!!

32. An airtight pantry-organizing container set so you can not only organize the horror show that is your pantry, but keep all your goods fresher *way* longer.
Promising review: "When you use OXO products, you know to expect quality and these storage containers did not disappoint! You get five containers in four sizes that perfectly vacuum seal to protect your food. The sizes are useful and versatile, and the airtightness means no worrying about pests. While these are recommended for storing dry goods, I put some liquid (olives and brine) in one of them to REALLY test the seal. Even when you turn it upside down, no liquid leaks out. Another nice feature is that you can partially disassemble the lid by removing the white plastic piece on top of the gasket, allowing you to completely clean the gasket. I tried this on the container with the olives, and it worked perfectly. The entire container has no residual smell. Overall, if you want the best in food storage containers, these OXO containers are absolutely essential!" —Emi A

34. A three-section laundry sorter so you can separate your colors, lights, and darks in advance *and* you can easily slide it all in a small closet so your hampers aren't always fully on display.
Promising review: "This is a great laundry cart. We live in a studio apartment with a very small closet and it fit in there perfectly. We were tired of those bulky plastic hampers taking up so much space and this completely solved our problem. It’s extremely durable as the frame is metal and the canvas bags are quite sturdy. My only complaint is that I wish the bag handles could actually be secured to the bag rather than just sliding right out when you set a bag on the ground or something." —Krystal
Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in two colors).
35. A nonslip double pet bowl mat set complete with outer edges to prevent spillover, so you don't have to take a paper towel to the floor anytime Fido gets parched.

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in five colors) for from The Grommet for $34.95 (available in three colors).
36. A weekly meal planner you can use to map out all your grocery needs in advance, saving you soooo much effort, money, and food waste in the long run that Captain Planet himself might just come on over for dinner.
The list magnetizes to the fridge, and has the meal plan on one side, and a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off and take with you on the other side.
Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone, then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. Being magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.
