1. 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: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $19.54.
2. "The Clean Ball," which is a nifty little gizmo you can stick in your purse or bag to pick up all the crumbs and debris that settle down there — now it'll be clean as a whistle whenever you go rooting through it, and you won't have to get all the "ick!!" on your belongings.
Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." —Wenhether
*Another* promising review: "This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. 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 $11.99 (available in three colors).
3. A TubShroom, a little gizmo you can stick in your shower drain to catch all your hair before it clogs up your pipes and you have to call a professional. The hair coils around it to make it even easier to remove, making it both handy *and* semi-horrifying!
Tubshroom is a family-owned small business specializing in drain protection products for kitchen and bathroom sinks and showers.
Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but this thing is so amazing I had to share. With every shower I take, I shed a TON of hair and (as you can see from the picture) stick it to the wall so that no hair goes down my drain. I thought this method was working out well but my drain was continuing to stop up. I figured it must be my sister's fault since I was so good about not letting any hairs go down the drain, but I went ahead ordered the TubShroom after seeing advertisements on Facebook. I got this thing and after only two showers, it collected a crap ton of my hair that I didn't catch. It really is so easy to install and wipe away the hair, exactly like the videos. Awesome invention and I'm super happy with this purchase!" —Megan K.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors).
4. An undetectable mouse jiggler for folks working at home who need to stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack and sometimes want to dash out to use the bathroom or walk the dog without doing the whole "BRB, BACK IN A BIT!!" song and dance every time they dare to get up from their desk.
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight styles).
5. A bunch of Miracle-Gro "food spikes" that can bring plants as sad as the tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas back from the brink of death, and then will continuously feed them for 30 to 60 days as a bonus.
Promising review: "I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." —victoria

6. A Bluapple, which is a teensy little produce saver that you can tuck into your fridge drawer to help keep your fruits and veggies fresh two to three times longer. All you have to do is replace the packet inside the Bluapple every three months, and bam! Tons of money saved and stress avoided trying to race to eat your way through the drawer before it goes bad.
Bluapple is a small business that specializes in products to keep produce fresh and prevent food waste.
Promising review: "These REALLY work! We have to move them away from our fresh fruit so it would ripen! My produce is lasting at least three times as long without spoilage. This is a great product, and I have already bought many as gifts. They don't seem to work on tomatoes, but they are great with bananas, apples, kiwi, pears, grapes, plums, peaches, lettuces, mushrooms, and many more fruits and vegetables." —Jacki
Get a pack of two (plus eight replacement packets) from Amazon for $23.99.
7. A TikTok-beloved dual insulated tumbler that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by to keep their drinks icy cold or hot as heck for up to 12 hours. Bonus? It comes with two lids! One is a flip-top lid for hot drinks, and the other is a lid with a straw for all your cold ones. Get you an insulated tumbler that can do both!!!
Promising review: "Another 'TikTok made me do it' purchase. I love this tumbler. This is the most gorgeous simple tumbler you could get. It comes with two different lids, one for straws, and one for sipping. It also comes with two plastic straws but you can use stainless steel ones instead if desired. The cup keeps your drinks cold or hot and is fairly durable. Although the straw lid is not 'spill proof' it is fairly resistant. My 2-year-old loves to carry it around and use the straw, it usually doesn't leak if it's knocked over! Overall the wait for this particular color is well worth it and I plan to buy more!" —Sinaxis
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 41 colors and six sizes).
8. A bottle of odor-banishing Poo-Pourri spray, so you never have to come out of a public bathroom stall and be all, "Uh, maybe give it a minute." This will continue to deodorize the smell both immediately and long after you depart.
Promising review: "What can I say other than this stuff WORKS! I bought this for a recent cruise my husband and I went on. Definitely a must for small spaces like a cruise stateroom. The scent was great and long lasting. It worked WAY better than using a cover-up bathroom spray like Glade. I’ve since bought a few bottles of the lavender vanilla scent (which I like even more). If you haven’t ever tried Poo-Pourri, you’re missing out and should buy it now!" —reachforthestars
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in nine sizes and 19 scents).
9. 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 $8.53.
10. An affordable, reviewer-beloved robot vacuum you're going to love so much that you give it a name and treat it like a household pet. This reliable bb is designed to fit in tight corners and under small spaces to really deep clean the floors, has sensors to prevent it from bumping or falling, and can even be scheduled via a remote control so it'll just start cleaning whenever it best suits your fancy. Oh! It also automatically recharges itself when it's done.
Promising review: "I've been in the market for a robovac for quite some time, and, after a recent back surgery, vacuuming manually wasn't easy. I purchased this vacuum and have been very pleased with it. Its slim design gets under the dressers, beds, other furniture, and all the tight spaces that I couldn't get to with an upright vacuum cleaner. This makes a very low sound while in use, and honestly, I don't even realize it's operating, as the sound is pleasant (not loud at all)." —Teach3
Get it from Amazon for $137.50+ (available in two colors).
11. An insulated weatherproof and soundproof strip that sticks to the outer rims of doors both in and outside the home, so you can *finally* block heat and AC from escaping — plus it's great to drown out the sound of other people in the house when you're trying to snooze.
Promising review: "JUST WHAT I NEEDED! This weather strip worked great for me. It came in two attached strips with an adhesive backing. The strips can be separated as needed. It was easy to peel the backing and install the strips. I installed both strips on the door casing where the door meets it when closed. It immediately stopped the draft that was coming in around the door." —RH in TN
Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in four colors and two lengths).
12. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer perfect for banishing that ~off~ smell that lingers in your fridge even after you deep clean it. Reviewers also swear by it for deodorizing other small spots in their homes, like shoe closets, laundry rooms, and even their cars.
Check out a TikTok of the deodorizer in action.
Promising review: "I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I’ve had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn’t smelled once since I’ve started using." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
13. An air purifier for anyone whose seasonal allergies are just *waiting* to play jump rope with their sinuses. This handy little unit filters allergens *plus* mold, pet dander, dust, and smoke, so you should be able to get through your day without sneezing and wheezing your way through it.
Psst — this even has a smart filter that lets you know when it's time for a replacement!
Check out a TikTok of the air purifier in action. .
Promising review: "I live on the Wasatch front in Utah, known for its poor air quality during the winter inversions and summer wildfires. I’ve had my Levoit air purifier in my bedroom for over three years and can attest to how great it works. I feel a noticeable difference in how my respiratory system feels during the inversions, wildfires (smoky air), and allergy season — if I don’t run the air purifier at night, I almost always notice an uptick in nasal congestion and respiratory irritation. The filters are very reasonably priced and the device is not too loud—it provides a nice amount of white noise as a backdrop for sleeping. And the LED light feature is easily turned off for unobtrusive use. I highly recommend it!" —Elizabeth V
Get it from Amazon for $89.66 (also available in black).
14. An adorable fish-shaped humidifier tank cleaner that'll ~just keep swimming, just keep swimming~ so you can stop growth of yucky sludge affecting the quality of your air for up to 30 days, sparing you a *ton* of humidifier washes.
15. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp because honestly? Cleaning the toilet every week is a scam. Let this do the job for you (and prevent grime build up and toilet rings while it's at it!).
Check out a TikTok of the Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to see it in action!
Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet
Get it from Amazon for $4.65.
16. A sparkling wine saver for anyone who enjoys a glass of bubbly every now and then but doesn't want to let three quarters of the bottle go flat. This stopper seals it up and even comes with a pump to preserve that crisp carbonation for a full week, so let that cork fly!
Promising review: "Really works. I have used this on champagnes from $40 to over $200 and was perfectly happy with how well it worked. It’s nice not having to go through an entire bottle in one evening. Easy to use." —Art
Check out BuzzFeed's review of the wine saver here!
Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.89.
17. An automatic pan stirrer so you don't have to spend the full half hour before every meal babysitting the stove. For dishes on a low simmer, you can set the timer on this and go back to watching Netflix the way nature intended.
Check out a TikTok of the automatic pan stirrer in action.
Promising review: "Honestly I laughed at myself for buying this. I stopped laughing the first time I used it! What a help! It freed me up to do other things while it stirred the sauce that needed constant attention. Bought another one! Not laughing now!" —Luvdvm
Get it from UncommonGoods for $25.
18. A roll-on migraine stick for anyone in need of relief in a quick pinch — this is made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils to help you soothe away migraines and headaches, which frankly have a lot of audacity interrupting your day.
Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine pill since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
19. Arm & Hammer odor buster balls you can indiscriminately put in any place in your home that's smelling a lil' funky — here's looking at you, shoe closets and laundry rooms and that one corner of the living room Fido always loves to pee — and neutralize the smell. People also love sticking these in their smelly shoes and helmets!
You can check out a TikTok mentioning the odor busters for more deets.
Promising review: "I liked that you can just put this anywhere because of the size. Goes into my son’s stinky sneakers and adds a nice smell to any drawer or closet! Great buy!" —Ainahainagirl
Get a set of six from Amazon for $15.84.
20. An outlet timer with clearly marked time increments for the "Wait, did I remember to ... ?" crowd. This auto-shuts off appliances between 15 minutes and six hours, making it ideal for anything from hair straighteners to slow cookers.
Check out a TikTok of the outlet timer in action.
Promising review: "I was looking for a better countdown timer to turn off corded entertainment devices after I fall asleep. The one I've been using has small buttons and a LCD display. Although any countdown time can be set on it, the display is hard to see in low lighting. This BN-LINK has larger buttons and knowing their order allows me to select a preset time in the dark. Yes, not infinitely flexible, but 15 and 30 minutes, plus 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours is close enough for my needs." —Picky Consumer 01
Get it from Amazon for $10.19.
21. A genius Thaw Claw that teams up with your sink to magically defrost meat up to seven times faster, so when you're busy running errands in the morning and forget to pull out the meat, dinner still has a fighting chance.
Promising review: "A package of frozen meat would have taken at least two days to thaw in the fridge. I used this for a 2-pound package a couple of days ago, and the meat was thawed within 90 minutes. One of the most practical kitchen gadgets I own." —Llda Schellhase
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors).
22. A cleverly designed mug warmer to put competing mug warmers to shame — this one *only* warms up when you trigger the sensor by setting your mug down on it, so you don't have to worry about the heat of the pad if you forget to unplug it and leave it unattended. This is every office worker and slow coffee guzzler's DREAM.
Promising reviews: "Saw it on TikTok: worth the hype. Bought this for my boyfriend. Plan to buy one for my coworker, and I need one too! Great gift for teachers on your nice list this Christmas." —Gabriela Eldredge
"I drink coffee pretty much all day especially during the fall and winter. It was a hassle to go back and forth to the kitchen at work to warm my coffee. I saw this product and thought I’d try it and I absolutely LOVE it. It has a weight sensor so it turns on when you place your cup on the top plate and turns off when cup is lifted. I use it at work daily. I also think you could place a candle in a glass container on the warmer and it would work as well. My coffee is never too hot. It’s perfect. The only CON is that I wish it had a longer cord so I could move to a diff spot on my desk." —Kim bur lee
Get it from Amazon for $16.79+ (available in five styles).
23. A DampRid Hanging Bag that absorbs up moisture in soggy spots in your home — reviewers swear by these after dealing with leaks, with rain coming in through open windows, or anywhere that stagnant, damp air is making things a little too ripe for their own good.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and had to try it. I had a leak under my kitchen sink, so I put one bag under there and within in a week the bag was practically full of water. I no longer have that wet damp smell. It is great and I will buy again if needed." —Kimberly Penro
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $20.
24. An oral rinse made with a mild mint flavor that packs a powerful punch — this formula fights bad breath for a full 24 hours and can combat those sour, bitter, and metallic tastes you can sometimes get in your mouth.
Promising review: "TikTokers have done it again. This was one of the products on Amazon a person could not live without, stating all-day freshness. It's true, I cannot believe it. The taste isn't strong, it does not burn at all. It keeps my breath smelling fresh all day no matter what I eat. This brand will be a new staple in my bathroom and morning routine." —Zac
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.34.
25. A Google Nest Smart Thermostat that might make you want robots to take over the world — this ~learns~ and adapts itself to your preferred temperatures, making it your ideal temp when you're home and conserving energy when you're not. Bonus — it can also be controlled remotely via Wi-Fi.
Promising review: "This is my first Nest thermostat. I’ve used programmable thermostats with the ability to control from your phone before. This thermostat is very easy to install and user friendly. I love being able to control temperatures directly from my phone and have a set schedule depending on the time." —Shelby White
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
26. A self-watering, self-aerating planter to spare you some Plant Parent fretting — this will help take care of your little green babies when you're running around and can't afford to give them the TLC they're demanding.
Promising review: "I recently got interested in growing plants at home and have been trying out a large variety of pots — this is by far the best I’ve found. I’m using it for a cherry tomato plant that was in poor condition when I transplanted it, but is really thriving in this new pot. I rarely water it from the top, filling the bottom tray instead. The soil is always perfectly moist, and I don’t have the problem I experience with my other plants where the surface layer of soil is dry and hard but the lower layers get water logged leading to root rot issues and yellowing limp leaves." —GSN
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in four sizes and five colors).
27. A makeup setting spray with a matte finish to lock your look in place in just a few seconds, even on days when the sun is trying to melt you like a Popsicle or nights when you're tearing up the dance floor.
Promising review: "Love this spray. Like that it's small and portable. It does set your makeup matte, which I love. Keeps my makeup in place all day. I use it pretty much daily when it's summer. It is great for when you travel to anywhere hot and humid and don't want your makeup to slide off." —Tina J.
Get it from Amazon for $7.06+ (available in six styles).
28. A set of rug grippers to secure the corners of your rug and prevent all the tripping that comes with it. These bad boys will lock your carpet down with easy peel-off adhesive that's strong enough to handle running kids, pets, and more. Bonus: they're designed not to leave any residue on the floor once they're removed!
Quick tip: make sure to clean your floors before applying!
Promising review: "BUY THEM!!! Stop looking! These are definitely worth a shot! I began to get my hopes up as I continued the search for non-slip pads for my new area rug (8x10). The rug was sliding all over the place when we walked in it, much less my boys 6-11...got these awesome stickies in the mail and was to excited to try them out. Followed the simple instructions and BAM!!! We can run and come to a haughty stop and it doesn’t budge. Needless to say I’m a happy camper and my rug is snug! :)" —Monica
Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.99.
29. A container of Museum Gel, a clear adhesive that cat owners and parents swear by — you can apply this to the bottom of glass or crystal to keep it locked in place on a surface, and it won't leave any residue behind.
Psst — people who sell jewelry like rings and want to balance them on a surface for photos also swear by this!
Promising review: "Saw this on TikTok and I honestly absolutely love it. I use it to keep my drawer organizers from sliding around. This stuff is amazing and I wish I had known about it forever ago." —Abby
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
30. A set of bed bands that will lock your fitted sheets neatly into place, so you can stop shoving the loose corners under your duvet whenever you're too tired to remake your whole bed in the morning.
Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February, and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY...SINGLE...NIGHT. To say this is life changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." —TinkerbellAPixie
Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99.
31. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers — these UV stickers have SPF recognition and will change colors to let you know both when your SPF is working, and then again when it's time to slather more sunscreen on. Each sticker is water-resistant and works for up to twelve hours. NOT TODAY, SUN!!!
Check out a TikTok of the sunscreen stickers in action.
SPOTMYUV is a small business specializing in UV-detecting, SPF-sensing products.
Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree zero clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all this is one of the best inventions!" —Catherine Shock
