1. Hard As Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream you simply brush on your nail beds once a day to condition and strengthen all those brittle spots and hangnails, leaving you with thick, healthy nails and nail beds that'll make you wanna wiggle your fingers to show off anywhere you go.
Promising review: "I took my acrylic nails off and my natural nails were extremely damaged; thin as paper and splitting so I thought about putting the acrylic back on. I used nail strengtheners that paint on the nails that cost $40 and still they looked bad. Tried this product and within seven days my nails were looking and feeling great, and my cuticles were healthy and soft." —U S Man Of Steel
Get it from Amazon for $7.94.
2. A handy minimalist weekly cleaning printable that's basically like "chore wheel, but make it fancy." This breaks down each day of the week with manageable cleaning tasks so you can maintain the cleanliness of your space on a day-to-day basis instead of getting overwhelmed cleaning it all at once.
Creative Type Store is a woman-owned, Canada-based Etsy shop that specializes in designer printables to make life easier.
Promising review: "Great for what I needed! I had started my own schedule, but felt like I was forgetting things, too much in a day, etc. This is super helpful!" —Erin Brie
Get it from Creative Type Store on Etsy for $4.46.
3. An easy-to-grip OXO veggie brush so you can scrub-a-dub your produce and get it squeaky clean instead of casually eating your roast potatoes with a side of dirt 😬.
Promising review: "This brush is awesome!! I added some before and after photos of a potato I was scrubbing, and you can see how well the dirt comes off! Very sturdy and durable and the bristles are stiff, which is optimal for cleaning. Easy to hold and does a great job. Definitely recommend!!" —McKinley
Get it from Amazon for $6.95.
4. A set of no-nonsense pumice stones that will make the inside of your toilet look brand spanking new, even if the rings have already thwarted your efforts with the toilet brush.
Promising review: "Magic Eraser!! I thought for sure I'd have to replace my toilets whenever I moved out of my home due to the pesky green/brown rings of mineral buildup on my toilets. However, I came across this product and it worked like a charm as advertised. In the past, I've tried numerous cleaning products to tackle this issue but none were able to make a dent. With the use of the pumice cleaning stone, a quick detailed scrub easily removed that ring that has been tormenting me for ages leaving a clean, pristine toilet bowl." —Pancho
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.79.
5. A set of gold plant animals, because you're already the proud parent of over 10 houseplants, might as well add a bunch of adorable mini animals to your legal custody as well.
Another Studio is a UK-based, woman-owned Etsy shop that specializes in laser cut plant decorations.
Promising review: "I absolutely love my orangutan plant animal. I hung it on a long strand of my pothos and it looks completely ridiculous (in a good way). It makes me smile so much." —Stephanie
Get it from Another Studio on Etsy for $8.28 (available in 24 animals).
6. A colander spoon because no offense to full-grown colanders, but sometimes we don't need that whole song and dance! Sometimes we just gotta scoop stuff from the pot directly into our bowls and/or mouths! And this gizmo *gets* it.
Promising review: "I've owned this for just over a month and I don't know how I lived without it! From spooning potatoes into boiling water without a mess to draining a full can of beans and far, far beyond, this scoop is a must-have in the kitchen. I find myself reaching for it every day. It has easily replaced the other spoons/scoops that I would usually use. You cannot go wrong with this purchase!" —Jill Clement
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors).
7. A simply iconic duck plush dog toy that, oops, just became your dog's only personality trait. Dogs are simply *obsessed* with this squeaky, snuggly critter and the review pictures of this duck alone will add ten years to your life. FYI, you get a random color, so it'll be a ~surprise~!
Promising review: "This toy goes everywhere with our dog. It is the first thing she looks for when she comes home, she shows it off to her friends, she cuddles with it, brings it to bed with her, and has become a security blanket. It definitely is her favorite toy. We named it 'Ferdinand' and she remembers where she last left him if we ask her to go get Ferdinand. She is very gentle with the duck and she has yet to rip it. People that she plays tug-of-war with often hold it by the feet, where it can rip. It has never ripped anywhere other than the feet. Whenever they rip (human-caused) we get another one." —Heather

Promising review: "I have to fight myself to not buy 100 of these. I love my little cowboy sm." —Edward Senn
Get it from MadeBySqueak on Etsy for $9.99.
9. A Saucemoto dip clip so you can enjoy the sweet, delicious freedom of dipping your fries into ketchup at a red light without cosplaying as that red light when the ketchup ends up all over your lap.
Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela
Get set of two from Amazon for $9.99.
10. A squishy universal dust cleaner to get into all your car's and keyboard's nooks and crannies, helping you tackle weird particles (ie, Cheez-It dust) that otherwise couldn't be dusted or vacuumed off.
Promising review: " If you like it not just clean but super clean, get this. I got this to detail my car. There are a lot of corners inside the car that are hard to clean. This is fun and definitely will give you a lot of satisfaction after you are done. You cannot wash this so instead of using the whole pod, I just pinch and use part of it. I did not put the used one back since I do not want to contaminate the pure clean ones. I used the portion till it is too dirty and then I just threw it away. It will clean the tiniest place for you. Very satisfying." —Lovelearn
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
11. A bottle of Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint that comes complete with an applicator shaped to your lip, so application is *that* much more foolproof. Reviewers love this for how buildable and long-lasting it is, and how it doesn't crack or leave skin feeling dry.
Promising review: "My go-to lip stain forever. I will never buy another stain product. This is the best formula I have ever used and the colors are highly pigmented." —Tracie Higgins
Get it from Amazon for $8.41 (available in seven shades).
12. A headband with lil' kitty ears way more gentle for holding your hair back while you're doing your makeup or face masking than a hair tie.
Promising review: "I'M SO HAPPY WITH THIS HEADBAND!!! I'm new to the skin care game and I've been trying to make myself get into a regimen. But I have really long hair and I hate tying it up because of the creasing, and my other headbands fall down/don't hold my hair back/start to hurt after a while (the workout headbands especially don't hold back my bangs because they are essentially one pice of rubber band). This headband is cheap, cute, stays in place, doesn't damage your hair, is thick enough to keep bangs/long hair out of your face and DOESN'T HURT ... like literally one of the best things I have bought from Amazon." —Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $5.43.
13. An internet password logbook because honestly there is no text more annoying to send than the "What's the Hulu password again???" that you blast out to your family every time your browser restarts.
Promising review: "I'm in my mid-forties, and with a gazillion internet accounts to have to keep track of, my memory simply isn't enough anymore. Also, what happens if something happens to me? My husband and sons would have a hell of a time trying to crack my accounts. I know we did when my father died several years ago. We still can't figure out some of his passwords for his email accounts. So I bought this. I entered everything I knew (and I update it when I discover another account I forgot) and for extra security we keep it in our family safe. Use a pencil so when you update passwords it's easy to change it out." —Am Azon Woman
Get it from Amazon for $7.95.
14. A Baby Yoda night-light because you've constantly looked around your bedroom and thought "What is this missing??" and the answer is clearly "A 50-year-old baby alien who stress-eats blue space macarons."
Promising review: "My children love this in their room at night. It is not too bright. It has a very low, warm light which is just enough for them to see if they need to get up at night to use the restroom, but not bright enough that it keeps them awake." —chocolate*bella
Get it from Amazon for $7.48.
15. A set of fortune teller surprise BFF bracelets — you and your bestie both get a toy fortune cookie to open up that will reveal two bracelets that make a perfect pair, just like the two of you. Options include milk and cookies, cake and tea, and a ton of other adorable combos.
Promising review: "These are so cute! I bought these for my daughter and she loves them. In each cookie comes a fortune and a bracelet. The bracelets are able to tighten to make smaller. This has been our second case now and they all have been different. They are so fun to collect! Will be buying more!!" —Jenny D
Get it from Amazon for $5.85.
16. An instant read long probe meat thermometer with a handy digital readout so you can get *chef's kiss* perfectly tender meats, sauces, and fondues that will make Remy from Ratatouille drool.
Promising review: "A great thermometer. I can even see ambient temperature with it. The sharp point goes in easily and seeing the accurate temp fast can't be beat. You can even clip it to your shirt and with the ring I actually have it hanging in a conspicuous place in my kitchen so I don't have to keep diving into the utensil drawer. It sure exceeded my expectations." —B.C. Poppe
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
17. Wreck This Journal, a full color journal with prompts for you to write, paint, shred, and, in the words of Taylor Swift, "have a marvelous time ruining everything."
Some of the prompts include one to close the journal and scribble on the edges; another to cut out colors from a magazine and tape them all over the page; another is a "Stain Log," which you can use classify stains in your life, from red wine to nail polishes to food dyes. Basically, if you turn the page in this journal, odds are it's going to look *nothing* like it originally did by the time you're through.
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
18. A bottle of pet-friendly flavored bubbles so you and your furriest friend can have a romp of a good time in the backyard chasing and chomping them.
Sniffingtons is a South Carolina-based Etsy shop that specializes in enriching products for dogs and cats.
Promising review: "My pup, Toby, is a 2.5 year old cavalier who loves bubbles. After catching them, he’d often give us an “ewww” look, as they tasted like soap. Until these. He LOVES these bubbles and seems to love the taste of them, too! I will gladly buy these again and continue letting him feed his bubble-obsession in a tasty way! In addition, when I needed help with my order, Ash was so kind and gave me the help I needed! Highly recommend this shop!" —Elizabeth
Get it from Sniffingtons on Etsy for $8 (available in 15 scents).
19. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream, an affordable concentrated moisturizer for dry, cracked, or bleeding hands that actually *does* all the stuff the high-end brand names claim they're going to do.
Psst — a lot of reviewers also swear by this for relieving eczema!
Promising review: "My hands suffer every winter with not only dryness, but also cracking around the fingertips. I've tried many creams, lotions and paint on products that would work temporarily, if at all. I saw a commercial for O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream and read many, many reviews on the the product. I've tried it and all I can say is that it's a miracle. The dryness has left my hands and my fingertips are well on the way towards healing....and this is after only two days of use. I wish I had found it years ago. It would have saved me lots of pain, agony and money." —Desert D.
Get it from Amazon for $6.98.
20. A set of rainbow scratch-off notes you can pair with some Cheez-Its and a Capri Sun to relive the most glorious parts of the '90s all over again.
Promising review: "I purchased these because they contain more cards in the pack than other scratch note packs that are available. They're cool and fun to play with. The box they come in is convenient; it folds up and gives you a place to tuck the styluses. Yes, it comes with TWO styluses, so don't worry if you lose one, or if you have kids who will fight over who gets to use the stylus....they don't have to share!!" —Combat Truck Monkey
Get 150 sheets from Amazon for $9.49 (available in three styles).
21. A stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm you can apply between your thighs or under your bra to avoid all that skin irritation in ~hot spots~ you get from sweating, rubbing, or hanging out in the heat.
I swear by this to the point where if I can't find it before a run, I just won't go out, LOLOL. My boobs chafe SO BADLY under my sports bra bands, no matter what kind I'm wearing or the season, but putting on a tiny bit of this before I leave works like a charm. Absolutely no more friction and no more going "OW OW OW" in the shower because my literal boob wounds were stinging.
Promising review: "I had a terrible summer in Florida this year with the high temps and humidity and started to chafe every time I wore my sport bra (five times a week) so bad. It was painful and my skin was breaking in places all along my sport bra band. Powder and/or Vaseline did not help. I found this product, and have not had even one episode of chafing once I started using it. It's easy to apply; I just put it anywhere my sports bra band touches, front and back. haven't chafed not one time since I started using it." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
22. A jewelry helper to clasp your bracelet for you in record time, instead of spending a full five minutes doing a bunch of wrist wiggles and straining your thumb like your hand's been possessed by a ghost.
23. An all-natural stain stick that's basically the closest thing you'll get to a magic wand for laundry — this all-natural, unscented solution can do a doozy on stains like dirt, grease, and blood. All you have to do is wet the spot, rub this stick on it, and launder as usual (no need to rush, either — it'll work if you launder it right then, or later!).
Shady Creek Farm NC is a North Carolina-based Etsy shop established in 2010 that specializes in all-natural, eco-friendly cleaning supplies and homegoods.
Promising review: "Our kitty cat had an upset tummy and, on the first night we used our brand-new white organic quilt, threw up quite a bit on it. I had little faith on it working, but amazingly, my first try with it and IT WORKED 100%!!! I AM CUSTOMER FOR LIFE! 😍" —michelemassoni
Get it from Shady Creek Farm NC on Etsy for $8.
24. A boot storage file, because sometimes boots are made for walking, but other times they are made for taking up *WAY* more floor space than they should. Enter this handy hanging organizer to save the day.
Promising review: "This product is AWESOME! I didn't have any trouble fitting my tall boots (1-2" heel knee-high boots), and only had trouble with them falling out if I tilted it too much one way or the other. Otherwise they fit in the pockets perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone wanting to organize and store tall boots in their closet. I bought two of them — one for my tall boots, and one for my and my husband's cowboy boots. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product!!!" —WisconsinMom
Get it from Amazon for $6.60.

Get it from Flip2sip on Etsy for $5.99 (available in six colors; this shop offers ✨ free shipping ✨).
26. A ring size adjuster for loose rings, so you can get the *precise* right fit without spending precisely way too much money to get your jewelry resized.
As you can see, this is my own human hand pictured above. I love wearing rings, but my fingers are always weirdly between two sizes — enter this plastic coil, which makes up the size difference in the hottest second.
Promising review: "This product was recommended to me by a jewelry store. I had a ring that was 1.5 sizes too large and after trying to re-size it at three different jewelers (who all told me the setting was too risky for resizing — risked losing the stones), I gave up. One recommended checking out this product and I'm so glad I did. It made the ring wearable for me, using the largest option, I was able to comfortably take it from a size 8 down to a 6.5. I've washed my hands and put the ring on/off with this on and it seems to stay in place fairly well. Was very easy to cut to size, I'm happy!" —KR
Get a 12-pack in two sizes from Amazon for $8.99.
27. A reviewer-beloved mini of Too Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream made with collagen fibers, egg, and Inca Omega oil to refresh and hydrate your skin, giving it a lil' extra bounce without that too-tight feeling other moisturizers give. Bonus: it's designed for all-over use, so you can put it on your under-eyes, face, *and* neck.
Promising review: "This is the only face lotion I will use! The title says it all but seriously this is the only cream I will use on my face now. It's helped with everything on my face. I recommend this entire skin care line! I have very dry skin and I have tried almost everything from drugstores to the priciest brands and this is well priced and fantastic! Not to mention to you need just one pump for your face and neck so it lasts a long time." —Paul M. Kelly Jr.
Get it from Amazon for $6.
28. 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.
Promising review: "My engagement ring had gotten really dull over time. I hadn't even really realized until I came across a picture of when I first got it and noticed it didn't sparkle anymore at all. Which was what I had loved so much. I tried EVERYTHING. Soaps, soaking it in baking soda and a little vinegar and dish soap, rinsing it, etc. and nothing was working. This cleaned it up immediately and completely restored it to its former super-sparkly glory! It gets into all the little crevices and clears away all the fogginess. Will definitely purchase again and again!" —Sheila
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
29. A backseat hook perfect for purses and groceries so you don't have to worry about all your loose fruit and beloved bottles of two-buck Chuck rolling around in the backseat every time the car takes a sharp turn.
30. A pack of brightly colored stacking cups babies love so much that you'll be like "WELP!!" at all the money you spent on other toys when all they want to do is party with this $5 one.
Promising review: "I got these as a stocking stuffer for my 15-month-old and of all the toys she got for Christmas, this is her favorite and also the least expensive. I let her open them first and then she didn’t want to play with any of the other toys. Haha." —Lauren

31. An Acure Brilliantly Brightening Facial Scrub made with sea kelp and French green clay for a delightful detox that takes care of dead skin cells and impurities, leaving you with soft, glowy skin ✨.
Promising review: "Yay! This stuff is a lifesaver. Recently my doctor put me on steroids to clear up my allergies. I immediately started breaking out like I was 15 again (it was one of the side effects. I should’ve read the pamphlet they give) and being 25, that doesn't really happen anymore. I didn't have a good exfoliator and this one had such good reviews that i decided to try it out. It really works! In eight days my skin was almost back to normal and it felt clean as can be! My dark acne spots were significantly lighter and all the little bumps i had were gone. Will be buying this from here on out." —janelle
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
32. A floating octopus interactive bath toy that makes the *perfect* purple companion to help encourage hand-eye coordination and keep kiddos amused while you're trying to wash the spaghetti sauce out of their hair.
Psst — this is safe for kiddos 18 months and up!
Promising review: "Awesome toy for bath time. My baby loves it. It doesn't let any water get in it, so it doesn't get moldy inside. The material is similar to silicone, so it's easy on the baby's gums when he chews it and no risk of it hurting him when he kicks around in the tub! Totally recommend! —Aaron Ryan Welch
Get it from Amazon for $7.53.
33. A set of sound-muffling door bumpers thick and sturdy enough to significantly dampen noise on older doors, but thin enough that it doesn't affect the way they close or make them "bounce back" like other versions do.
Promising review: "Best thing I have ever bought for my kitchen. Say goodbye to the heinous noise of slamming cabinets. My mother is notorious for just letting go of the cabinets and letting them slam shut so before she came to visit I installed these and I couldn't have been happier. They keep the noise to a minimum and likely help to improve the longevity of the cabinet doors by reducing the impact. They are easy to install (although time consuming for all the cabinets in the kitchen) and mine have not fallen off after five months of use." —Dave Carlson
Get a set of 100 bumpers from Amazon for $5.99.
34. A blind dusters with microfiber sleeves so you can dig in deep and pick up an oh-so-satisfying amount of dust without wasting an oh-so-annoying amount of time like you usually do. Bonus — it comes with five clean sleeves so you can tackle a bunch of windows at once.
Promising review: "I hate to clean blinds. I've tried every method you could imagine but none really did a good job. While looking at the internet for something to make the job easier I found the Hiware window blind cleaner duster brush. The price was more than affordable so I thought I would give it a shot. This little device is genius and the microfiber sleeves are so easy to throw in the washer to get ready for the next time." —Northwest Gal
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
35. 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: "This thing is magic! I'm pretty sure my son is somewhat allergic to mosquito bites. His bites are always swollen triple the size of his sisters and take forever to heal, and mosquitoes think he's freaking DELICIOUS! Despite having my house sprayed frequently and putting in plants that are supposed to keep them away, my son still gets attacked by mosquitoes. I finally had enough, schools around the corner and I didn't want my son all swollen and maimed for his first day, he had two bites! I bought this after the fact, two days to be exact. Used it on my sons arm (I did have to scrape a mini scab off of one to get the venom out) but lo and behold it's no longer itchy and the swelling is GONE! Definitely recommend!" —Miranda Keck
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
36. A tin of Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser to take care of caked on stains on stainless-steel stoves, appliances, pots and pans, shower stalls, sinks, and tubs *without* scratching surfaces. Everything's going to gleam like the day it was first born.
Promising review: "This stuff is like magic! Straight up wizardry. I love it! I initially bought it to clean my sink, which is porcelain and even though it's not even a year old, is just holding on to all the coffee and tea staining. I'd say it took less than a minute after making a paste with Bar Keepers Friend to clean the sink up to a nearly new shine. Taking a look at the can its easy to find bunches of ways to use this stuff and each application is better than the last. Stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper, brass, fiberglass, corian, chrome and aluminum. See? Magic! Anyhow, I've used it in the sink, in the bathroom, to clean stainless steel pots and pans on a 17-year-old Revereware tea kettle (which I thought would never be restored to its former loveliness, btw). This is a product that I will buy again and again and will happily recommend to anyone." —Nicci Stephenson
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
37. A set of bedsheet fasteners to lock your fitted sheets neatly into place once and for all, so you can finally get the peaceful, untangled sleep you deserve every night.
Promising review: "These work like magic to keep my sheets on my bed. My sheets would constantly pop off because of the memory foam topper that’s on my mattress for comfort. Now the topper and sheets stays in place! No more mattress showing." —Carmen

38. 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.

Promising review: "Bought this on Prime Day. I like listening to music/podcasts in the shower, but we don’t have much room for a speaker/Echo Dot on our counter space in the bathroom. This product solved this issue. It’s very sturdy and easy to install. Highly recommend!" —Jude Chauvin
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
40. A decorative rainbow window film that says "yes, I want my privacy, but I also want to be extremely glamorous about it."
Promising review: "I have a large window in my bathroom and you can see in from the backyard, not very private. I like the light but needed privacy, sheer curtains were not enough. This product is very easy to install, and I love the rainbows. This is this cheapest rainbow window cling I could find and it exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be doing more windows." —Ashley Barnes
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 per decal.
41. A set of ingenious double shower curtain hooks to make putting on the shower curtain and the liner so! darn! easy!! that you'll never go back to those silly rings that pop off annoy the heck out of you again.
Promising review: "Wow. Game-changer. I have to change my shower curtain liner a lot because of a humid bathroom (yes, even with a fan on 😬). Though there are greater issues in the world, why wouldn’t you want to save yourself some time with these hooks! Not having to take the curtain off each time I change the liner has really been more satisfying than I had anticipated. Added bonus are the rings themselves, the balls that were added hug the shower curtain rod so they never pop off. Something I never knew I needed either. Love these!" —Jdbouchart

42. An expanding file folder with tabs to keep you so beautifully organized with all your paperwork that you'll stroll in 2022 feeling like the boss of just about everything (until tax season makes us all cry, that is).
Promising review: "I bought this folder to keep our family documents organized and in one place. There are just the right amount of tabs for our birth certificates, passports, Social Security cards, car titles, will, etc. This folder is small enough that you can lock it in a home safe or safety deposit box. I let a couple family members know where I keep this so that they can access it in case of an emergency. It is such a relief knowing that all these things are together and organized. I’m glad I bought this." —Katie Bee
Get it from Amazon for $7.88 (available in eight colors).
43. A little clay brown sugar bear that yes, is absurdly precious, but also quite useful — you can put in brown sugar to help it retain its moisture for a full three to six months, so you can live your Great British Bake-Off dreams on your own sweet time.
All you have to do to "set" it is soak the bear in water for 20 minutes, dry the outside of it, and plop it in with your brown sugar. It also works on baked goods, cakes, cookies, marshmallows, and dried fruit!
Promising review: "Had a large amount of brown sugar and couldn't keep it soft even in a tight container. I purchased new five-quart jars for my flour, sugar and so forth and quickly realized my brown sugar was a ROCK! I purchased this, soaked it and placed it in the sugar as instructed. Within hours it was soft again which was amazing to me! I have about two pounds of sugar in the five-quart jar currently. The jar is sealed gasket but I haven't had to re-soak the bear yet (only a month in use currently). Would recommend to anyone at this point, just mad I have wasted so much brown sugar over the years." —diosa

44. A slim cutlery drawer organizer for anyone who is looking to make the most of their drawer space *and* make it that much easier to put their cutlery away.
Promising review: "Love this item. It really cleaned up my kitchen drawer. Everything is its place now.

Just really love it can't go wrong buying it." —Fran B
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
45. An easy-to-use seam ripper that anyone who likes to upcycle or alter their clothes *needs* in their arsenal — this makes removing stitches a much quicker and more accurate affair (especially important when you're dealing with vintage and handmade items!).
Promising review: "Pretty basic stuff here. I needed a durable, fine tipped, and sharp tool to remove (what seemed like a million) tiny stitches from manufacturing defects on a bedspread. This seam ripper did a fantastic job isolating very tightly sewn, individual threads while cutting them quickly, without stress to the tool. It did not affect any other stitching that needed to stay intact (sigh, reading glasses helped, too). Still sharp!
