1. A rechargeable, flameless electric lighter for everything from lighting your beloved three-wick candles to your gas burners — this is a much safer option than matches, and way more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than getting long-stemmed gas lighters.
It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I first bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this is SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! It worked like a charm on their stove, which needs to be lit by hand. I bought one for myself and have used it for all my candles now for over a year now. 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. Read my full review of the Leejie electric lighter for more deets!
Promising review: "Wow. This thing is amazing. Small and so easy to use. My husband kept saying it won’t actually light anything and was blown away when it did. We lit candles and paper to use as tinder with absolutely no effort. No fuel needed. Just a quick recharging. And no waste in throwing away those huge and never easy to use butane sticks. Love love it. Easy buying process so I would recommend everyone buy one." —Diane Bold

2. A firming eye cream that uses vitamin C, vitamin E, rosehip seed oil, and hibiscus flower extract to brighten and firm that sensitive skin around your eyes and neck not just on a day-to-day basis, but a long-term one, too.
Promising review: "I'm such an eye cream snob (very picky about it). Decided to give this a try due to its excellent reviews. I'm blown way. It's creamy, not greasy. I can apply eye makeup soon after applying. It's fabulous. I'm going to order several more to give it friends. Great product." —Brett & Heather
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
3. A popular allergy supplement soft chew for dogs to help boost their immune systems with a blend of probiotics engineered to tackle itchy, sensitive skin and help with digestion, giving them a lil' pep in their puppy step.
Promising review: "Our vet recommended allergy testing for our dog who would keep us up at night scratching or licking. His belly was covered in scabs from scratching himself silly. We have tried Benadryl, antibiotics, and so many other treatments for him totally thousands of dollars. Finally, we were ready to just break down and get him Apoquel to the tune of over $100 a month, but gave this a last ditch effort. We have given him 2-3 tablets a day and are in the middle of our second container (probably about a month). He has absolutely no scabs and is back to itching like a normal dog once or twice a day. His hair is growing back and he is so happy. He also LOVES the tablets, so it is easy to give them to him as treats. I am seriously so blown away by this product and would recommend to anyone!" —H. Bates

4. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker that magics any frozen fruit into an ice cream or sorbet texture so you can have a yummy frozen treat made to your *precise* favorite fruit combos. A lot of folks with dietary restrictions swear by this to get their ice cream kicks!
Promising review: "We were in Bed Bath & Beyond and this lady was demo-ing the product and asked if I wanted to try some ice cream. I tried it and was blown away at how good it was. Then she told me it was just bananas and strawberries. It was too creamy and sweet to be just fruit, but no joke, it was just frozen bananas and frozen strawberries. You really don't need one of these to make the dessert as any blender will do, but at this price point, it is a great gift and worth it to watch the kids make their own healthy desserts." —Tennis dad
Get it from Amazon for $36.60 (available in five colors).
5. 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: "At first I wasn't expecting much. But then after receiving them I was blown away by the quality! The packaging was the first thing I noticed, then once I opened them the build quality was amazing for what I thought would be a budget set of ear buds. Every detail was more than expected — the charging case was solid and well crafted. The ear buds were spot on with the pictures. The call quality has been amazing regardless of if I use one or both earbuds, and the same goes for the quality of sound while listening to music regardless of the source. Battery life is also impressive for such a small bud. And the fact that Tozo also throws in a year warranty is fantastic. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a great set of ear buds for single or dual ear usage." —Jesse The Couch Movie Critic
Get it from Amazon $21.24+ (available in five colors).
6. A two-pack of TikTok-famous Dan-O's seasoning, a low-sodium, hecka-flavorful option made with dried herbs, citrus, and granulated onion and garlic that reviewers love to jazz up everything from fish to beef to eggs to veggies.
Dan O's seasoning is a small business established in 2017 that gained popularity after taking to TikTok during the pandemic, where the company now has 1.5 million followers with plenty of droolworthy food content.
Promising review: "I saw this seasoning blend used on TikTok multiple times and since I love to cook and experiment, decided to give it a try. I was blown away. I eat chicken all the time and now this is my go-to seasoning. I've already sent some to my daughter and brother. My son was just at my house so I shared it with him. I think we are all on board. I wouldn't hesitate to tell you to give it a try." —Pam Eitel Vaugn

7. A reviewer-beloved cooling mattress pad for anyone who runs HOT at night and is looking for some sweet, sweet relief before they yet again wake up playing the role of Human Sauna.
Promising review: "I was blown away by this mattress cover! It’s soft, it does cool the mattress, and it’s amazing quality. I highly recommend this product especially if you have a foam mattress like Purple or Nectar. It really helps cool it down! Great product!" —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $33.90+ (available in sizes Twin–California King).
8. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller that is deeply beloved by pet owners — it's like a sticky lint roller, but specifically designed to pick up pet hair and not only lock it in, but stash it inside the roller itself, so you don't end up making matters worse by just shoving the hair around instead of getting rid of it properly.
Promising review: "With a long-haired cat, fur gets everywhere. We’ve been searching for the best way to remove our fur baby’s hair that she leaves behind on any upholstered furniture. Up until now, we would burn through roll after roll of lint rollers. This isn’t economical, when cleaning couches! I was initially hesitant about this product, but I figured I’d give it a try. I was totally blown away by the performance! It’s essentially a self-cleaning red felty lint brush. I would definitely buy again." —Christopher F
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
9. Essence's Lash Princess mascara, because TBH, we've all wasted too many years and too much money looking for the ~holy grail~ mascara. This one is less than $5 and will give you such instant, effortless length you'll feel like your eyelashes are about to pull a Butterfree and take flight.
Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the live long day (I spent all of last year's ridiculously hot summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time.
Promising review: "This is the best mascara on the market. I bought it during Amazon Prime Day when it was recommended as a 'must buy.' I checked out the reviews and they were all raving about this inexpensive mascara. I was blown away on my first application. I'm not going to write a long drawn out review about this mascara. All I've got to say is it beats ALL THOSE EXPENSIVE HIGH END mascaras on the market. It gives the look of false eye lashes but still looks natural. Would give it 10 stars if I could. I just love love love this mascara. Will never buy those other mascaras ever again. You won't be disappointed with this one." —Havilla
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
10. 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'm blown away by these pens!! I thought I was just getting some cheap ones but these are very high quality." —Leslie Goodwin

11. An air purifier with a true HEPA filter *and* a UV light sanitizer that did not come here to play — if you're going to be stuck inside with all the same air for months on end, it might as well be top-notch. This reusable filter traps dust, pollen, smoke, odor, and pet dander to help reduce seasonal and pet-related allergies.
Check out our full review of the GermGuardian air purifier for more deets!
Promising review: "I only wish I had found this a long time ago. I have been getting allergy shots for two years now, but still have sneezing attacks. I am blown away by how much this thing really works. I used to have tissues piled high everywhere I went from runny eyes, nose and sneezing. I always considered air purifiers as gimmicks. I have become an instant convert! This is the most amazing thing I have ever used. It is quiet, and has made an enormous difference in my life. Before this, it was impossible for me to walk out of the house with my makeup in place because I was tearing up non-stop. No more! I keep it in the room I spend all of my time during the day. I don't need it when I sleep." —Caki
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (clip the "10% off" coupon on the product page for this price).
12. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which tackles so many darn things that it'll be the BFF of every room in your house. Need to paint over a stain on the wall? Get it off with The Pink Stuff. Think you need to replace that caked-over grimy pan? Put The Pink Stuff to the test. About to hire cleaners to tackle whatever the heck is going on in your tub? 1-800-The-Pink-Stuff, baby!!
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: "I am blown away by how well this product works. It was recommended by a friend for use on my stove top and I truly didn’t believe it until I saw it. So easy to use and works like magic." —mackenzie mercer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
13. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen for anyone looking to skip those fancy dental treatments that break the bank. This 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 really didn’t have any expectations of this product and assumed either that it would take a long time to see actual whitening of my teeth or that it would cause sensitivity (of my already sensitive teeth). But I am blown away that it substantially whitened my teeth after the very FIRST treatment and that it causes absolutely NO sensitivity! I’m delighted to have found this product. I’ve done four treatments and that’s all I needed to whiten my very coffee stained teeth. Plan to use it once per week for maintenance. Great product!" —Anne Smith
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page for this price).
14. A cute lil' insect catcher you can set in a plant or near your fruit bowl or compost to deal with any unwanted fluttering guests. These odorless sticky traps are designed to work indoors and outdoors and will stop fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and more.
Reviewers note that these work best if you put them somewhere the flies are already attracted to — these will definitely trap them, but they won't attract them on their own.
Promising review: "I am blown away how easy and these are! I am stunned by the amount of things it catches!" —Lannie
*Another* promising review: "A must for your plants. Great for all those fungus gnats near my plants! Saw this shown on a TikTok used in a vivarium enclosure and just had to try it. Works great and is very attractive looking." —Mac
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $7.99.
15. 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 used this in my shower. The floor had a yellow tint to it. I tried bleach to get rid of it. I let bleach just sit on top of it for hours. The yellow tint would not go away. I thought the yellow tint was just the surface of the floor pan showing its age. I tried Wet & Forget Shower on the whole shower. I noticed the shower floor was white the next day. I was blown away." —totsubo
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
16. An MVP-worthy pet urine stain-removing spray that instantly tackles both old and new stains *plus* the yucky smell, so you can enjoy the quality time you're getting with your pet without sacrificing your carpet and/or your nostrils.
Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.
Promising review: "I have always been skeptical about products to remove pet stains as most I have tried don't completely work. This one is amazing. There is a spot on our carpet that our Yorkies like to use. I have steam cleaned it 2-3 times with carpet cleaner and the stains still show up with a blacklight. I decided to give this brand a try. I followed the instructions and soaked the area with the product and used a towel that is weighed down. I waited two hours and came back and was shocked to see how much urine was on the towel. After letting it dry and vacuuming the area, the blacklight test came out clean! I was blown away. If you need to get out pet stains for porous surfaces or even hard ones, this works wonders!" —Tom Ahrens
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
17. 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 have only used it once, but one time using it and I am blown away!! I have the worst bumps on the back of my arms and my thighs and they are so smoothed out and the redness is almost gone. I can finally wear short sleeve shirts with confidence that my arms don't look so rough. Highly recommend!!" —jessica rechtoris
Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in three sizes).
18. 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: "Holy moly! I almost can't stop to write this because I am so obsessed with stroking my super soft, stronger-feeling hair! Even my ends feel like silk, and it's been seven long months of heat styling since my last haircut. I'll put it this way: yesterday I noticed that the ends of my hair were a bit scratchy against the back of my neck. Now I wish I had a scarf made from my own soft hair. Move over, Angora bunnies, you've got competition! Seriously though, I am blown away by this marvelous, miraculous stuff. FYI, the product labeling is almost entirely in Korean, except for pretty standard usage instructions (apply to washed, towel dried hair for 30 min). I left it on for just over an hour, because the scent of this mask is DEE-lightful. I savored a few additional minutes more when the thought of how little I paid crossed my mind, and I totally, marveled at the excellence of this hair mask at such a low price." —thefifthdentist

19. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner that has a *MAJOR* fan following among parents and pet owners — this compact, super portable powerhouse uses warm water and a special formula to make stains from grass, mud, pet accidents, food, and all your other home-related shenanigans look like they never even happened.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising review: "I — I don’t have words. I used this on my mattress and was instantly blown away. I used it on my stairs (my dog had an accident) and the carpet looks brand new. This product is literally magic. I still can’t believe it worked the way it did. I usually don’t expect much from cleaning products but this is the best out there. 100% would recommend." —Ashlan
Get it from Amazon for $108+ (available in three styles).
20. A dual hair dryer and brush to dry your hair as you style it and give your 'do an incredible amount of volume and shine, without the cost of a pricey blowout.
Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a through 4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!
Promising review: "I am 100% a hair product snob. I don’t mind and always have invested money in my hair tools. This dryer is by far the best money I have spent on any hair tool ever. I am blown away. For reference I have extremely thick hair. It cut my hair drying process in half." —Jason P. Hilliard
Get it from Amazon for $34.88 (available in three styles).
21. Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder, which is so beloved it's racked up over 73,000 5-star reviews. It's designed not only to give your makeup a beautiful blended look and last the whole livelong day, but to be super easy to apply — this doesn't leave a white cast like some other powders do, so you don't have to spend too much time blending it.
Promising review: "I'm totally blown away by this product! I've been using Laura Mercier's Translucent loose setting powder (which is $39) for about six months, and was dissatisfied with the fact that my skin appeared greasy/oily by the end of the work day. By 5 p.m., I have been wearing my makeup for about 10 hours. I also live in a warm climate and have oily skin. By the end of my work day using this powder, my face is still very matte! I am THRILLED! This way outperforms the Laura Mercier powder and is about 13% of the cost. I can't believe it. I'm never going back." —AlexisJulian
Get it from Amazon for $5.72 (available in six colors, including translucent).
22. A cold brew coffee maker to save you a zillion frenzied trips to the coffee shop each day. This is so gloriously easy to use that all you have to do is stick your favorite ground coffee in the filter, seal the airtight lid on top, and pop it in the fridge overnight. Boom, four cups of cold brew to help you power through the marathon of Zoom calls for the day.
Promising review: "I am a huge cold brew fan and I have tried EVERYTHING to make it at home. Started with just a pitcher and dumping some coffee grounds in it thinking I could sift them out later...bad, messy idea. I can’t buy cold brew every day from the coffee shop because it’s such a waste of money. This lil' device is a miracle! I followed the directions for coffee to water ratio and I was blown away by the result the following morning. PERFECT cold brew. Can’t go back to the old way! One pitcher lasted me just fine through the week. Love this thing!" —Stephanie

23. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover that is basically the ultimate in "I'm too busy for this nonsense" hacks — all you have to do is spray it on a stain, throw it in the hamper, and wait for it to come out whenever you get to wash day.
Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase.
Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods).
Promising review: "My husband is blown away. After years of trying everything else on the market, this is the first stain remover to actually remove a ring around the collar. And remove an old ring around the collar, at that. Rings are completely gone from white shirts, patterned shirt, colored shirts... as if they were never even there. No damage to the fabric and dyes. We sprayed on and left for 5-10 minutes before putting the shirts in the wash. The rings were gone before even going in the wash. Amazing!" —Memly
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A six-outlet wall charger designed specifically for larger appliances and chargers, so you can untangle the virtual jungle under your work desk or at your kitchen counters with a neatly organized plug that's out here doing the most.
Promising review: "In this day and age when everything has to be charged this outlet is great. I retrofitted it in my kitchen near a counter and am blown away with how useful it is." —Lesley-Ann LS
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
25. A delightful little tool called the "Bug Bite Thing" that suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness.
This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more (although TBH, if this list of bugs gets any longer I may just stay indoors forever!!).
Promising review: "It actually works! Was blown away when I got bit and this ‘thing’ took away all the itch!" —John Dollard
*Another* promising review: "I discovered this item on TikTok and found it to be quite interesting. I was skeptical to purchase at first but decided to give it a try since my kid’s bug bites swell and are incredibly itchy. I’m amazed at how well it works. Tried it the other night on my daughter’s mosquito bite, and it provided immediate relief. The swelling around the bite went down and itching stopped after a minute or two. It’s easy to use. It does leave a round imprint on the skin but disappears after a couple of minutes. My 9-year-old daughter uses it on her own bug bites. I have recommended this to family and friends who are considering purchasing the product. Love it!" —Garima Chauhan
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
26. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods you can simply put through a cycle on the machine to get rid of all the crusted-on grinds and residue that are *definitely* affecting the taste of your coffee, even if you haven't noticed over time.
Promising review: "I have a one cup Keurig machine that I clean regularly with white vinegar. I decided to give these a try and was blown away by the gunk that came out of what I thought was a clean machine! So easy to use — just pop it in and run the machine as usual then run it through with water after removing the cleaning cup. Since my results were still coming out dirty, I ended up running it four times until the water ran clear. It works!" —Christine
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95.
27. 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: "This is probably the best thing I have ever purchased off of Amazon. For several years, I have used my Vitamix for bulletproof coffee, matcha lattes, and even my golden milk lattes. WHY I didn’t get one of these sooner is absolutely beyond me!!! I was blown away at how this makes it frothy and amazing even with almond milk. No more cleaning my blender every time. Just rinse the wand and put it back up. SO EASY. No bulky items needed. Buy this. You’ll love it!!" —Ny
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 34 styles).
28. 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: "This was a 'let's try' type of purchase. Expectations were low BUT they worked! I am blown away. I admit it is another step in the process plus finding each corner instead of just cramming sheets into washer and dryer. I will continue to love and use them but I don't see my son using them." —1cat2cat redcat bluecat
Get a set of two from Amazon for $18.99.
29. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop, aka the MVP of CleanTok. This mop is machine washable and has an automatic wringer so there are no hands involved, is designed to reach into deep corners for a thorough clean, and is made with a fabric so effective that — gasp — you don't even need chemical cleaners. You can just get the dirt and grime up with water.
Promising review: "I hesitated to buy the product. However decided to buy it and was amazed when I used it. I was extremely blown away when I used the spin wringer. One thing needs to be considered when buying is if it is low enough to fix under your faucet to fill. In my case it was not so I used a large pan to fill it with water unit too high to fit under my faucet to fill in sink." —C R L
Get it from Amazon for $32.97.
30. A fume-free oven cleaner that's gentle enough that you don't need protective gloves to use it, but tough enough that it'll erase the evidence of all your baking misadventures and that time you fell asleep while cooking pizza rolls.
Promising review: "Not gonna lie, first saw this on Facebook under a BuzzFeed article for good products and thought it was a sham. Then I saw someone on Reddit talk about it, so I came to Amazon, reviewed before and after pics and decided to try it out myself. Holy cow, I am BLOWN AWAY at how GREAT this cleaner works. We were gifted a never cleaned oven from my fiancé’s parents and we have had that same oven for about 3 1/2 years now (so it hasn’t been cleaned in what, five years?) and this cleaner worked like a charm!! I sprayed the oven, left it on for about four hours, and all the gunk wiped away with just a damp sponge and some light scrubbing!! I am definitely buying this product again. If you are debating on purchasing like I was I can’t recommend this enough!!!" —Eric C.
Get it from Amazon for $6.27.
31. 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: "Back in the late 60s, I made the mistake (for me) of wearing acrylic nails for years. Once I went back to natural nails, my nails were ruined. They were soft and broke frequently, no matter what I did. Best I could do was keep them short and use clear polish to try and give them a little protection. I did use cuticle cream or oil (whatever was on sale) frequently, and that kept the cuticles okay, but the nails remained a mess. One day I came upon some reviews for CND Solaroil and figured I didn't have anything to lose. After three months of use (I put it on and massage it into my cuticles and nails while watching TV a couple of times a day) I was blown away! Today, for the first time in my life (even before the acrylics) my nails are strong! I can actually shape them with an emery board, something I've never been able to do. I couldn't be happier with this product!" —travelinnan
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
32. A weekly pill organizer designed with push-through silicone lids to easily organize your pills at the beginning of the week without worrying about knocking it over while the lids are all open. Each pod also had a magnetized base, so you can easily remove it and replace it if you're on the move.
Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure, but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues.
Promising review: "I am kicking myself for not ordering this sooner! It's been on my wishlist but I held off on getting it because I initially thought it was too much money. But now that I see the quality in person I am blown away! I have so far filled each day of the week 14 supplements and medications and each container is only half way full. I am separating one side of each container to be taken with food and one side to be taken on an empty stomach. I could add a bunch more supplements — I am SO happy with the size of these! The thickness of the material, and the ease of use lids (which I suspected would be difficult to load each week — but are PERFECT!) There is some magnet that holds the days in place on the container. I can't wait to start using this product, it's going to cut down on SO much time, not having to open up 10 bottles a day (and then forgetting because it's just too many vitamins to keep track of)." —Azalea
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three color combinations).
33. 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: "When this arrived I was a bit surprised how small this was. But as soon as you place it down to sharpen a knife you realize how perfect it fits to your hand with the soft grip. I've never sharpened a knife before but as my set are so dull that I was thinking about replacing them I didn't really have much to lose. So I read the instructions and read them again and thought they seemed way to simple and within four minutes I had a seriously sharp knife set! I've been chopping up just about everything for the last two days and I'm blown away." —MatthewGB

34. A six-piece (!!) set of high-performance matte lipsticks at a *fraction* of the price of its competitors that stays the heck put without drying or cracking your lips by the end of the day. (Seriously, reviewers are DRAGGING major brands in their comments, these are so cheap and effective.)
Promising review: "I didn't know what to expect and I'm blown away by the results. The colors are vibrant and matte, but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything and it doesn't rub off or ball up like other long-lasting lip colors. The colors are beautiful shades of peaches and nudes and they all smell amazing, like sweet candy." —Ramble Trickery

35. A quick-drying top nail coat, because sometimes you just have to get the show on the road, nail polish situation be damned — this helps dry your wet nails within two minutes so you can get back to business (read: sticking your hand in a chip bag without fear).
Promising review: "WOW!!!! I've never tried a top coat that dried this fast. I am totally blown away. This is a manicure saver. I don't go to nail salons, rather do my own nails and I'm a total klutz — I always manage to smudge them before they are dry. Not with this top coat! It dries in a few heartbeats and is totally smudge/budge proof after it cures. Gives your polish that hi-gloss 'wet' look because of how quickly it sets — I LOVE that! Also very few bubbles (another one of my frequent issues). I think it dries way too quickly for any bubbles to pop." —JJ
Get it from Amazon for $6.24.
36. A pair of super-comfy period-proof underwear designed to hold two tampons' worth of period blood. Not only are these a great alternative to pads and tampons, they're also ideal for overnight protection (you can pair them with a pad if you have a heavy flow) and for people who are worried about ~leakage~ during sports or physical activities — I personally always wear period-proof undies when I go on runs on my period and it has been a MASSIVE godsend.
Also, unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these. They're designed so it rinses right out in the sink with soap and warm water, and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there. You can read the rest of my review on Bambody period underwear for more deets!
Psst — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "I was skeptical to try period panties of any kind, but decided to give these a try and I'm amazed. I don't even understand how something so thin can work so well. I took the leap and decided to wear them to work, even though I just knew it'd be a disaster. After wearing them for nearly 9 hours with fairly heavy flow, there was no leakage and they didn't have that full, gross, wet feeling you get with pads. I'm completely blown away and about to order more. I think these will be my go to from now on!" —Kelly H.
Get it from Amazon for $14.90+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, two colors, and in three-packs).
37. Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid Exfoliant, a true skincare MVP that reviewers swear by for reducing the size of pores, dealing with acne and redness, and helping tighten and rejuvenate skin. It's designed to work on all skin types and a lot of reviewers noticed *next day* results.
Promising review: "For years, I’ve had several pores roughly the size of Texas on my cheeks. Having tried many types of face spackle marketed as pore shrinking/correcting/etc., I decided to try the little bottle of this after reading reviews saying it’s the pore shrinking holy grail. I’ve got really temperamental skin that frequently gets angry when I use new products. I used it once in the morning between cleansing and moisturizer, then waited two days before using again. Since then, I’ve used it daily and I’ve used it once daily for 10 days and am blown away at the results — mindblowing shrinkage!!! My skin is clearer and looks way less textured. My mom even asked what I’ve been doing differently —apparently I look more 'fresh-faced' lately!" —Lumpy
Get it from Amazon for $11+ (available in three sizes).
38. A set of super-comfy wax ear plugs that mold to the shape of your inner ear like putty, fully blocking out snoring noises from your partner (or yelling noises from your neighbors fighting over the Xbox while you're working from home 🙃).
TBH, I swear by these so aggressively that I have them on a subscription. They're like ear glue. My apartment is on a busy street and my upstairs neighbor is a noisy human being (does this count as a subtweet??) and once I pop these babies in I can barely hear a thing. Plus, my ears never get sore with these in like they do with headphones or other earplugs. You can check out my full review of Mack's earplugs for more deets!
Promising review: "I’m new to the ear plugs while sleeping gig. Just moved to a noisy/high traffic area but with these ear plugs I’d guess I’m sleeping in the middle of nowhere. I’m blown away by the quality of these! They block all noise and they’re comfortable enough to sleep in all night. 😴" —Spencer Reichmuth
Get a pack of six pairs from Amazon for $3.96.
39. 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 never leave reviews on Amazon but after heavily testing out the drops last night (probs polished off over two bottles of wine during the course of the night) and waking up this morning without a headache I am blown away. Best thing I’ve ever purchased and will be buying this for everyone I know. Amazing." —Inga Klints
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
40. 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: "I bought these to counteract some of the knee pain I've been dealing with the last couple of months from my weekly two and a half hour badminton sessions. I'd end each session with sore knee caps and wonder why the pain was recurring and consistent in spite of getting stronger and stretching after each workout. I bought these knee straps with low expectations and was blown away to find my knees with no pain whatsoever after my workout tonight. I'm a big fan and will continue wearing these for future workouts!" —Aaron Fung
Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.99 (available in four colors).
41. A facial ice roller you can stash in the fridge or freezer, then pull out whenever you want to take your face for a ~chill~ ride, whether it's to help reduce puffiness and under-eye circles, or to help release tension from sinus and migraine pain.
Promising review: "I have chronic migraines which means I am always in search of that elusive product that can give me some relief during a migraine attack. Not many products live up to their hype. But WOW the Esarora Ice Roller blew me away!! It feels so amazing and soothing to my head during a migraine. It is the perfect temperature of cold so that it is tolerable but still very cool. I also love how smoothly it rolls, it almost feels like a wet cold but there is absolutely no wetness left behind, which I just love! It is easy to use on many places on the face, neck, temples, it even feels nice rolled gently right over the eyes which feels great during a migraine. It couldn't be easier to store and use. I would recommend this to anyone who suffers with migraines. In fact, I'm probably going to buy another one just so I can rotate and always have one ready to go." —Angela
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in eight colors).
42. A box of newly popular "Zombie" face masks that are NOT for the faint of heart, but definitely get the job done when it comes to tightening skin and reducing pores and wrinkles. Once it's on your face, it starts to tighten and makes you look like a literal! zombie!!! in this very spooky but satisfying way. You leave it on for a quick ten minutes, then it washes off super easily and leaves your skin bright and rejuvenated.
Promising review: "Amazing!! I’m blown away how well this mask works. Will be ordering more!" —Mallory Branch
*Another* promising review: "Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." —Samantha
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $19.
43. A set of heavy-duty wipes that are most definitely not here to play — they're basically the paper towel version of The Rock and can lift up stains on anything from grease to permanent marker to nail polish. Bonus: they're tough on stains, but the aloe vera in them makes them super gentle on skin!
Promising review: "I was blown away with the amount of things I was able to clean with these! My daughter had got bright red lipstick on the bottom of her foot and tracked it EVERYWHERE in the house. I tried multiple cleaners/sprays that wouldn't touch those stains, but with these wipes and a little scrubbing the lipstick is GONE!!!" —Megan M.
Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.94.
44. A jewelry-cleaning stick with cleansing solution on a brush designed specifically to get in the nooks and crannies of your jewelry, so you can dig out all the grime that's accumulated over the years on the cheap instead of taking it to the jeweler.
Promising review: "How does this work so well?? I’m honestly blown away by how quickly and effectively this device cleans jewelry, specifically diamond rings. I couldn’t tell you exactly how, but it makes my wife’s diamond rings look brand new, as if they were just cleaned at the jewelry store." —Matt
Get it from Amazon for $8.46.
