1. 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 purchased these pens in college a few years back and am still using them today! Great colors, long life, happy customer — cannot recommend enough!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $7.99.
2. 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: "I have been super impressed with these little guys. First, I use these all day with one headphone in while at work. I have the volume at the lowest setting (on my phone) and one headphone literally lasts five hours of constant use. No exaggeration. I listened to one headphone for five hours straight, then would throw it in the charging case and listen to the other headphone for the rest of the day. While doing this for a whole week, the charging case never ran out of juice. So basically for me, I charge the case and headphones on Sunday, then listen to them (one headphone at a time) Monday through Friday and put them in the case overnight. And the case lasts all week without a charge. Even at the lowest setting, these sound amazing. I have had them up to mid to 3/4 volume, and they BUMP! Great bass while maintaining great sound quality. If you put them in correctly, they block out all exterior sounds. I have not fully tested the call experience yet, but the one call I had I was able to hear the other person perfectly, and after a second or two the other person was able to hear me okay as well. I have been recommending these to everyone who will listen. My wife wasn’t even thinking about new headphones until she tried these, now she wants a pair! Cannot recommend these enough!!!" —Born2Explore
Get it from Amazon $22.99+ (clip the "15% off coupon" on the product page for this price; available in five colors).
3. An insulated tumbler tens of thousands of reviewers swear by to keep their cold brew and iced tea so cold that the ice doesn't melt even after a full 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: "I am in LOVE with this tumbler. I’ve been using a Hydro Flask for years now and let me tell you, this tumbler is a game changer. It keeps my liquids as cold as the Hydro Flask, but it is slim enough to fit in a cup holder. I knocked it over on the carpet the other day and nothing spilled out. Just make sure when you’re screwing it on, it’s actually in the right place... treat things with care and they last. I can’t recommend this tumbler enough, especially at the price point." —Mhutch
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 41 colors and six sizes).
4. 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 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 livelong day, 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 by far the best mascara I've ever used. My lashes are so light they're practically invisible, and this mascara makes them look long and black with no clumping, and it doesn't dry out after just a few days. It's the first time I've been able to use an entire tube of mascara instead of throwing it out two weeks later because it's so dry. I can't recommend it strongly enough! I will never use another mascara." —Ksay
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
5. 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: "This stain remover is AMAZING. My husband had an old oil stain that had been washed and dried into his hoodie, and I suggested he use this. He sprayed it, rubbed it in and let it sit for 15 minutes, and then washed it - no more stain!! The hoodie looks cleaner and brighter than ever before!! I can't recommend this enough!" —Evelyn P.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
6. A heated eye massager with so many bells and whistles, it's worth the investment and *then* some — not only does it come with five different massage modes and a 15-minute timer, but it has Bluetooth music so you can vibe with your eyes *and* your ears. Reviewers swear by this to help combat eye strain, headaches, puffy under-eye circles, and dry eyes, and insomnia.
Promising review: "This may be my favorite Amazon purchase ever — that’s saying a lot because I order A LOT! I get frequent headaches and I came across this and decided to give it a try. I couldn’t wait for it to arrive — spring allergies are killing me 🤦🏼♀️ I’m so happy with it! It’s comfortable — the pressure is just right and the heat is amazing! Seriously I can’t recommend enough!" —C Herring
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (get this price by clipping the 15% off coupon; available in two colors).
7. 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: "Cannot recommend this product highly enough! The difference it has made in whitening my teeth in just a couple weeks is remarkable. Application is easy and mess-free. The liquid doesn’t have a bad taste like so many whiteners do. This product is simple, affordable, and definitely does the trick. 10/10." —KM Flesner
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page for this pice).
8. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker to magic 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: "I cannot recommend this product highly enough. The 'ice cream' it makes is DELICIOUS! It far exceeded our expectations. The consistency is surprisingly good. Creamy, ever so slightly 'chewy' like ice cream. SO good! Best of all, it is super healthy! Every time we use this at least one of us says, 'I can't believe all we're eating is fruit right now!'" —Sara F
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in five colors).
9. A portable car vacuum so the next time you explore the great outdoors or enjoy a particularly messy snack you don't have to coexist with the evidence until the next time you do a deep car clean. With this easy peasy gadget, you can scoop it all up and leave your interiors looking brand spanking new.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Stephanie Hope has to say about it: "When I tell you that I use this product often, I mean it. It's so easy to plug in, vacuum dirt from the floor or seat, and put it away. It comes with three different attachments and an extra filter! My tip is to use the brush attachment for everything as it will kick dirt off the carpet fibers, making it easier to suction."
Promising review: "Such a great vacuum. I originally bought a $150 vacuum for my car and it was good, but man is this GREAT! The attachments make it so you can get every grain of dirt and sand, every hair, EV ER Y THINGGGGG! Seriously amazing. My favorite attachment is the long skinny part because I can get in between the back crease of the seat and in the far corners under the seats you normally can’t get to. I also use the vacuum when I clean all my car seats (look at your manual, and never soak your seat or use most chemicals), and between this and baby wipes the car seats can look good as new even after a beach day. The carrying case is perfect because I can throw it all right in my trunk! And unlike others that come with cases, this one actually fits the vacuum and every attachment so you don’t have pieces floating around. The cord is so long that you can go all the way around a 2020 Honda Civic Sport and a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with ease (including the trunks), never having to switch the plug to another spot. Seriously can’t recommend this enough." —kailenep
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
10. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner with a *MAJOR* fan following of 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: "Great for furniture, cars, carpet, etc. I even took it to my mattress which I’ve had for far too long (and was stained from a college roommate peeing on it years ago — gotta love drunken best friends on New Years) and it looks brand new now. Cannot recommend enough. I no longer have chronic anxiety over other people coming over and spilling anything, or having their pets have accidents, etc. it has been so helpful. I now fully understand why my mother used to ask us for things like these for her birthday growing up." —Zeda Grace
Get it from Amazon for $120.
11. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt that anyone in the movie theater industry will tell you is a perfect dupe for that oh-so-savory buttery goodness you love to inhale before the previews begin. Not to be dramatic about popcorn on main, but this stuff is game changing.
Our family recently unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm.
Promising review: "Adding one teaspoon of this while popping a cup of kernels makes all the difference. The popcorn now tastes exactly like popcorn from the theater. My wife took one bite and was thrilled to have that taste at home. There's no need to add any other topping. I can't recommend this enough." —timothy p walker
Get it from Amazon for $9.45 (available in two other flavors).
12. A bottle of nail and cuticle repair oil 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: "It's a miracle! I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. A friend recommended a nail strengthener they saw on QVC. It was quite pricey and I wanted to make sure it was worth it so I read the reviews. One of the comments said just buy Solar Oil. Since it was much more affordable than the QVC stuff, I tried it. I bought it in February. This bottle size lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
13. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, a 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 — hair health restored, sans expensive moisture treatments at the salon.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "After over bleaching my hair, It was breaking off by the handful. My hair has gotten so thin I was really scared. I saw this product online and thought I had to try something. I put about two dime sized dollops in my hair, cover it in a plastic hair cap and keep it on overnight while I sleep. I then shower every morning to rinse it out of my hair. I do this three times a week and after only two weeks the difference is amazing. My hair is soft and shiny and no more breakage. I will definitely continue using this product three times a week until my hair has grown out and the damaged bits are all gone. I will also continue to use this as directed once I get my healthy hair back. I cannot recommend this product enough." —Laney

14. 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: "Funky smell assassin. What a simple and easy solution to getting rid of whatever funky smells build up in your garbage disposal. I can't recommend these things enough for regular maintenance in your kitchen." —PolyBizMan
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $4.25.
15. A pair of ridiculously comfortable Levi's jeggings 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 are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. Cannot recommend highly enough. Fits true to size. They sit at just the right place, no muffin top, no digging or pinching. Seriously, the best." —Kindle 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).
16. An MVPworthy 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: "This product is so fabulous — I’d give it 10 stars, if I could. It even works on set in cat urine. The worst odor ever!!! My livestock guardian dogs have a wonderful thick fleece blanket that they take naps on, outside, in my barn. I had no idea my outside barn cats were using it as a litter box. It reeked!!!! First, I sprayed the blanket on both sides and let it sit for an hour. I then took it inside, placed it in my washer and added about a cup of the solution into my washer, to be used in the rinse cycle. I added my regular laundry detergent, set it on the bedding cycle and started the machine. I could hardly believe it after the cycle. The horrific odor was gone. Totally GONE! Still, I was afraid the odor may come back after drying the blanket in my dryer but it didn’t! This is a remarkable product. I can’t recommend it enough! It’s fabulous!!! It actually works!!!!" —Joni H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
17. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set so not only will you have the perfect blade for each task like a true profesh, but you'll be able to avoid cross-contamination without having to pause and wipe everything down every time you transition to a new food 🌈.
It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this a holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like this reviewer did!
Promising review: "These things are fantastic, pretty, and cheap!!! I’ve never busted through a butternut squash with such ease. Can’t highly recommend these enough." —JeanBean
Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $12.99.
18. 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: "These are the best thing ever! The first time I used them I on accident forgot about the food and everything burnt. I thought I had ruined them on the first used, but they were fine. I cannot recommend these enough!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.99.
19. 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: "This stuff is AMAZING! If you’re considering it, just do it. Just do it. I have had red, sensitive combination skin with hormonal breakouts for as long as I can remember and let me tell you. One month of using this with a retinol (LilyAna Natural Retinol Cream) every night has absolutely transformed my skin. I’ve tried a hundred different regimens and this is it. Magic. Chef’s kiss. Could not recommend enough. My skin is even, neutral, no breakouts, and it always looks like I have a natural highlight in all the right places. Absolutely amazing." —Savannah Hanson
Get it from Amazon for $11+ (available in three sizes).
20. 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: "This product has seriously changed our lives. We have a shepherd who suffered from all sorts of allergies; she would chew and scratch her elbows and ears absolutely raw. We tried different foods of varying degrees to no avail. Finally we tried adding these to her current lamb & sweet potato grain free food, (along with Zesty Paws Salmon Oil times a week), and EVERYTHING has changed. Our pup no longer constantly scratches, her fur has grown back, her ears have finally healed, and on top of that her coat is simply gorgeous. I can’t recommend these enough for anybody who has a pup with allergy issues!" —JayPlace1520
Get a 90-pack from Amazon for $28.97+ (available in three styles).
21. A cropped workout tank with a padded built-in bra so versatile you'll want to pair it with everything in your closet. Reviewers love this top because it's compressive enough for a sweat sesh, but comfy enough for all your athleisuring needs.
TBH, this crossed my radar because of Stephanie Buttermore, a popular YouTuber who shares stories of her gym routines on Instagram.
Promising review: "Great fit and even better material. Love love love. Exactly what I was looking for and worth every penny. Thick material. Don’t need a bra or nip covers. I didn’t get it to work out, I got it to wear with high waisted skirts and pants, but I’m sure you can work out in this as well. Can’t recommend enough. I might get it in a third color!" —Samantha Lubben
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 19 colors).
22. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go.
Promising review: "I bought this book partly as a joke and mostly in a desperate time when I was searching for something in myself. This is the first reflection book (website/app/journal/etc) that actually made me think and had a variety of questions and formats. It encourages you to use the flip to a random page method. I have laughed, and I have cried. The hardest part for me was being truly honest, and that helped me realize that so much of what I do and say is in fear of what others might think. I cannot recommend this book enough." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.
23. 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, 4 cups of cold brew to help you power through the marathon of Zoom calls for the day.
Promising review: "I've used the same Keurig for 10+ years, but it doesn't lend itself well to iced coffee (it's never strong enough for my preference, and I constantly have to brew another cup as I drink several a day in the summer). Enter this cold brew pitcher! I can make it as concentrated as I like by adding as much or as little ground coffee to the filer. As the instructions indicate, a coarse ground is best to ensure that the water can pass through. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and I can't recommend it enough!" —CK

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors and two sizes).
24. 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 have never written a review for anything before, but I love this product so much that I just had to share my experience!! I know it takes time to see a difference in wrinkle prevention, but I started seeing results in less than a week. The fine line that I had under each eye was noticeably reduced. I also noticed that my under eye bags were significantly lighter! This product is so light and leaves my skin feeling so silky smooth. I keep it in the fridge (since it’s all natural) and love the coolness of it when I use it. Not only do I put this product on my eyes, but also on my forehead fine lines, neck, and hands!! One pump goes a long way. I am definitely a lifetime customer. I can’t recommend this product enough!!!!!!" —Katherine Neri
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four sizes).
25. 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: "Honestly, I had very low expectations because nothing seemed to work for me — for my nausea, and for motion sickness, or sickness brought on by debilitating migraines. Long story short, these are the most miraculous, amazing things that I have ever purchased in my life. That really, truly, work!!! I never leave home without them. I have a pair in purse, in my car, in my laptop bags, my husband's car, at my office, in my boss's car, literally... everywhere! I cannot recommend these enough for anyone that suffers with any kind of nausea, or motion sickness and sensitivity due to many kinds of life things. Mine is a symptom of a bigger disease, but this helps, and I never thought anything could. Amazing. 🙌⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙌 This product gets All Of The Stars., hands down! Thank you so much ❤️." —A. Wonder Woman
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.54 (available in adult and children's sizes).
26. 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.
27. A weekly pill organizer 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: "This pill organizer changed my life. I have ADHD and a few other mental health/physical health issues that I take daily medications for. Having ADHD makes it hard to remember things in general, and remembering to take (and get refills for) my meds was a daily struggle. I also have had to overcome some difficult feelings related to the stigma of being a person who needs to take daily medication. So, purchasing a pill organizer was not something I was looking forward to, but once I had to add a nighttime medication to my list, I knew I had to take the plunge. I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made. Not only does this organizer look cute and non-clinical, but the functionality of it works so well with my ADHD brain. Since I’ve started using it, I’ve been so much better at remembering to take my meds. Like I said, I know it’s dramatic to say a pill organizer changed your life, but this little doodad has made me feel so much more in control of my mental and physical health. I can’t recommend it enough :)." —Max T
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four color combinations).
28. A jewelry-cleaning stick filled 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 from being constantly on the move (without going to some fancy, expensive jeweler).
Promising review: "I’ve been using a cleaning solution from Macy’s for some time and never thought it actually did much for my diamond wedding and engagement rings. On a whim and out of laziness for not wanting to go to the jewelers, I researched a bunch of diamond cleaning products and found this one. Literally just got it today and just finished cleaning my ring...and holy moly is the thing AMAZING!! I bought it because of the reviews and hoped they were real, and I can’t explain just how accurate those 4+ star reviews are! My ring looks just like it does whenever I do take it to the jewelers, and I’m blown away. SO shiny and sparkly!! LOVE this product and how easy it is to use, and couldn’t recommend enough!" —Lauren A
Get it from Amazon for $8.05.
29. 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: "Do you have pet hair on every surface of your home? Do you lint roll your clothes, sheets, blankets, etc, just to look presentable? NO MORE! I have a shedding dog and a long hair cat, and the hair problem was out of control. This thing is AMAZING. Used it on the couch, upholstered chairs, rugs, carpeted stairs, clothes, bedding — it works!!!! Vacuums can never pick up all the hair on soft surfaces and lint rollers are a pain and not economical Or earth friendly. I used to 'finger vacuum' which meant I gathered the hairs by hand and threw them into the trash. This thing is easy to use, just gotta pull the hairs out of the collection compartment. Honestly considering buying one for each room so I can stop having to carry it around with me everywhere I go. So worth it — can’t recommend enough." —Christy Fedor
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
30. A tiny milk frother to make rich, creamy froths in seconds, making you as powerful as the Starbucks mermaid herself. It also doesn't need to be plugged in, cleans with a quick stream of hot running water, and is teensy for storing.
31. 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: "These gloves (the gray) are not soft and are definitely not gentle. They provide a real exfoliation experience. After my first use of these magic gloves my skin feels incredible. My husband who is a mechanic has skin like leather and even he loves them. It took his rough and flaky skin to super soft and flake free in just one use. Can't recommend these enough." —Joseph P Charron
Get a pair from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three textures and as sets of two or three).
32. A knee stabilizer band to help with 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: "Can't recommend this enough! This product almost felt like magic! I've struggled with a patellar injury for the past two years, and running was seeming more and more impossible. My PT uncle told me not to give up on running completely until I tried this strap, and I could tell a difference in the first step. It was support exactly where I needed it, and my first run felt good for the first time in a long time. I like that it's not bulky and doesn't press into my thighs. I highly recommend trying it before giving up forever on activities you love." —Brittney Bailey
Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95 (available in four colors).
33. 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: "These are a game changer. I am using these as a replacement for pads and tampons. My flow is usually heavy the first day and then gets much lighter. My first day trying these out was a busy day. Of course, it was the first day of my period also. I had the heaviest flow I think I have ever had. That being said, I changed my underwear halfway throughout the day, just in case. Spent about 10 hours in one pair, out of the house. I am incredibly impressed that I did not leak at all. I'm not kidding when I say it was the heaviest flow I have ever had. I probably would have filled multiple pads during that time and somehow, these amazing underwear contained it. I cannot recommend these enough! They are comfortable. It doesn't feel wet or icky in any way. I am excited to produce less waste and be more kind to my body in the process." —KSR1000

Promising review: "My biggest fear associated with driving is changing lanes and missing what's in my blind spot. These mirrors are fabulous and help you see what's in the blind spot. I cannot recommend them enough!" —Ms Sparkle

Promising review: "Love this! It was super easy to install, great price, doesn't get in the way and keeps my purse off of the floor and out of the way!! Can't recommend enough! If you aren't using it, you simply turn it sideways and you don't even know it is there! EXTREMELY happy with my purchase and can see me buying more as gifts!!" —Kim

Briogeo is a Black-owned, woman-owned small business that specializes in cruelty-free, gluten-free haircare products for all hair types.
Promising review: "This is and continues to be my holy grail of leave in conditioners. It's lightweight and doesn't weigh my already thick and heavy hair down. It smells amazing and doesn't leave you with that too much product feel when it dries. Cannot recommend it enough!" —Sara
Get it from Amazon for $25.
37. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer, an inexpensive lightweight concealer for anyone who wants to quickly touch up before Zoom calls or errand running but doesn't want to commit to a whole layer of foundation. This also helps cover dark circles without caking and reduce puffiness.
TBH, last year I started using this myself (although this is former BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo's lovely human face above), and I am mad that I wasted time with other concealers for so long. I am a deeply impatient person who likes to look good and does not like to put in effort in any way, shape, or form, and Maybelline created this so that people like me could gracelessly slap it on in the morning and be like "OK, REFLECTION, YOU GOT THIS" before being on their merry way. It never cakes, I look way more awake than I have any right to, and I never struggle to blend it the way I do with other concealers. 11/10 subscribe.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. It’s super easy to spread, looks great under makeup and really covers. Doesn’t pull under other makeup and works so well sometimes it’s all I use for the day. I cannot recommend this stuff enough." —Mdaub13

38. 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: "I can't believe this works, but it does! My sheets were totally dry in a quarter of the time with no wrinkles or wadding. Wadded up sheets are so annoying — especially if you forget them in the dryer for a couple days. This is a total game changer. Can't recommend this product enough!" —ARP616
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.
39. 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: "REALLY WORKS! My nails dry so quickly, they've got a manicure level shine, and my nails lasted three to four days without chipping and even after five days they were still almost perfect with only two nails that chipped at the tips. I work in a kitchen so even GEL NAILS DON'T EVEN LAST THAT LONG FOR ME! I'm so happy I found this. Can't recommend enough!" —TheRealDeal
Get it from Amazon for $8.28.
40. 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: "Never thought I'd be reviewing a mop but alas, here I am. This mop is amazing! I seriously cannot recommend it enough. I am not a big fan of cleaning kitchen or bathroom floors but this mop makes it really easy and actually kinda fun (in a weird way). I have a cat who likes to throw his litter out and after vacuuming it up, this mop makes the floor shiny and clean in a flash. Buy this mop and you will be glad you did!!!" —Shell
Get it from Amazon for $34.97.
41. A spray bottle of SoCozy Curl Spray Leave-In Conditioner, which is beloved by kids and adults alike — this lightweight formula is designed to spray in your hair before bedtime to prevent bed head frizziness and tangles by restoring and detangling curls, but a lot of reviewers use it to define their curls as part of their morning haircare routines, too!
Check out a TikTok of the SoCozy Curl Spray in action. This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2a–4c curls swearing by it!
Promising review: "I have long, fine, wavy hair. With this product, I can literally get out of the shower, lightly towel-dry my hair, and finger-comb this through. It detangles beautifully, smells lovely, and my waves come out nice and soft but more defined. I can't recommend this product enough!!" —Bronnie & Matt
Get it from Amazon for $9.29.
42. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey to instantly elevate all your favorite dishes to "my compliments to the CHEF" level. This can add a pinch of sweet and a kick of spice to anything from pizza to salads to tacos to — be still my '90s bb heart — grilled cheese.
Promising review: "This is the best hot honey, I’m obsessed with it. You should buy this if you love hot honey and want to cook with it, because you get way more bang for your buck. I cannot recommend this product enough." —Jenna M.

43. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light for anyone whose little cottagecore heart wants a cozy solution to stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night in the dark.
Promising review: "I, an adult woman, wanted a night-light for my foyer so that as I ventured from my living room to my bedchambers at night I would not be stumbling in the darkness between light switches. I wanted a cool nightlight though, and I have been so delighted by this night-light that after receiving the first one I bought two more. I love the change in color they go through, and it's the perfect amount of light to illuminate a travel path. I did find it too bright for my bedroom/master bath. They have a really cool adaptive brightness feature so that when my house is dim but not dark, they're not overwhelming. I can't recommend these enough. Give them a try, you won't regret it!" —Angie Hagler
