1. Self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint perfect for anyone whose recent step count is "too many." Now instead of dealing with aching feet all night, you can get ahead of the situation with some ~self care~.
Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action.
I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!
Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018

2. A reusable silicone cactus dryer ball that pet owners especially love because it catches hair like nobody's business. These lil' desert bubs also help soften fabric, reduce wrinkles, *and* save drying time, so they're putting all the decorative but useless succulents in your home to shame.
Check out a TikTok of the cactus dryer ball.
Promising review: "I just did a load of towels and sheets. They are usually super balled up after drying with wet areas. Using these things made all the difference in the world. I was skeptical, but now I am a believer. I just ordered another package of them." —william whitaker

3. A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel so you can feel like an enchanted forest nymph while you funnel your coffee, wine, baking ingredients, or mystical potions.
Check out a TikTok of the magic mushroom funnel in action.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It’s beyond cute and really great quality. I’m always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don’t want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can’t get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" —Abbey Klem
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
4. A hands-free portable phone charger that sticks right onto your phone plug and chills there so easily that you might forget it's there in the first place. This mini charger is designed to give you one full iPhone battery per charge, making it a lifesaver for busy humans, particularly ones who love traveling.
Promising review: "I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk. That's why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket. The portable chargers take about 30-35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours." —J
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors and in two-packs).
5. A saline nasal gel to help soothe your poor, dry nostrils that are 10000% done with the cold this year. You can apply one to two drops directly around your nostrils for instant relief from the discomfort, including soothing aloe to moisturize the area.
Promising review: "I don't like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." —Catherine
Get it from Amazon for $3.62.
6. A ring can opener, because holy SMOKES can those be annoying to open. Reviewers swear by this for getting a quick and easy grip without wrecking their nails or cutting themselves on the edges of the lid. It's also a super handy tool for people with arthritis and joint pain.
Promising review: "It does the job it's supposed to do. I was cutting my hand, trying to open cans. This allows me to get a better grip on the little loopy thing, and gives me leverage to open the can." —P. Alscher
Get it from Amazon for $7.39.
7. A soap-dispensing "smile sponge" brush that I'm not not encouraging anyone to call the "Daddy Handle" 👀. This makes it easier than ever to get deep cleans with your favorite sponge without getting your hands dirty.
Smilyeez is a small business that specializes in clever cleaning accessories.
You can pick up a three-pack of the cult-favorite Scrub Daddy sponges on Amazon for $13.49!
Promising review: "Originally bought this to clean a shower, but instead tried it for dishwashing, and it was wonderful. Once I got it wet with warm water, it easily reached every crevice quickly and more effectively than any scrub brush I’d had. Barely any scrubbing necessary since the Scrub Daddy sponges for this product do all the work for you." —BC
Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in 12 styles).
8. A super strong magnetic AirPods cord perfect for anyone who loses AirPods like it's their second job — these are especially handy for athletes or people traveling, so you don't accidentally knock them out of your ear and watch them venture to that space under the treadmill or between airplane seats where you will most definitely Make A Scene trying to get them back 💀.
Promising review: "Seems silly but 100% worth the buy. I fly A LOT, and I am always too afraid to wear my AirPods on flights because I’ve dropped one under the seat a couple of times while sleeping or just moving around. This product is great — keeps my AirPods from falling, and I can confidently nap on flights without losing a pod. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in 20 styles).
9. A retro-inspired, rechargeable electric gamer lighter that is not only a more environmentally-friendly alternative to gas lighters but will give you any and every opportunity to relive your glory days of being a Pokemon trainer, searching through a sea of Pidgeys in the tall grass to find a Pikachu.
Promising review: "Love this lighter. It has some weight to it, so it feels like a real lighter. It makes a nice click sound when you open and shut it, and is easy to charge with the included cable. The blue lights on the side that show the battery level are neat, and the fact that it looks like a tiny Game Boy is awesome." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.88 (available in two styles).
10. A set of washable Flat Socks, aka the ultimate no-show socks hack — you can install these soft, odor-preventing liners into the bottom of your shoe, and the moisture-wicking material will keep your feet from rivaling the swamp Shrek lives in.
11. A coffee-scooping bag clip that doesn't just show off by being multifunctional but also flexes by being absurdly cute?? Go, lil' caffeinated spoon, go!
Promising review: "I didn't know how much I needed these until now. The perfect way to measure coffee in the morning (to ensure that there is actually some consistency to how I do it). I am saving money and coffee by using these instead of 'guesstimation.' They also clamp the coffee bag down nicely. Recommended!" —Elen Pass Brandt
Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in sets of two and three).
12. A discreet, compact weekly pill organizer travelers *swear* by because it slides easily into the weird crevices of even the most stuffed travel bags. It also has a "locking" mechanism and slides into a cover, so you don't have to worry about your pills and vitamins scattering to the winds.
Promising review: "This product is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a pill organizer to store my daily vitamins and to help encourage me to take them regularly (as opposed to having to open up numerous bottles every day). It's also a great size for traveling. The organizer closes securely and can fit a variety of pill sizes in each daily compartment. I also like the more sleek design compared to the typical push and pop tab organizers." —Kylie
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six styles).
13. A reviewer-beloved Bluetooth speaker cell phone stand that basically turns any room in your home into an instant mini movie theater. You can set this bb up in the kitchen for cooking tutorials, in your living room for FaceTime calls, or by your bed for some late night "Sure, I can watch old seasons of Stranger Things before bed. It'll be FINE."
Promising review: "This was one of my favorite purchases, mostly because of how well it works and the value for the price. I purchased it for my husband because he loves watching YouTube and anime on his phone. He was so happy I got this for him so he doesn’t have to hold up his phone, especially when he falls asleep watching, lol. It connects easily via Bluetooth, and you can adjust the volume either with the phone buttons or with the buttons on the speaker itself." —Kristyn
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in nine colors).
14. A USB-charged wooden alarm clock to marry your minimalist aesthetic with your modern lifestyle. This isn't just a clever decor option but also a nice alternative to waking up to your phone's alarm clock, so you can resist the temptation of checking your texts and emails first thing in the morning.
Promising review: "I love this clock for so many reasons! I wanted a clock with a super subtle look. I also wanted one in which I could turn the brightness WAY down, and that is so easy with this model. There are five brightness levels, so it's truly customizable. The buttons on the back are big and easy to see when setting the time and alarm. I love the fact that it has a battery backup — no resetting the time when the power flickers off." —DB
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in six styles).
15. A Tagalong accessory parents can link to strollers, grocery carts, and backpacks to encourage kids to keep close by when they're too old for the stroller and want to maintain some independence.
Tagalong Kids is a small business that specializes in family-friendly travel accessories.
Promising review: "Simple, but works great. My toddler wants to do things for himself. This has been a lifesaver. When he wants to walk, he can feel independent and still have a little help with balance." —Trina P.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six styles).
16. A set of reusable Gripstic bag sealers, which are sticks that clamp over open snack bags to make sure they're genuinely sealed and airtight. (We cannot risk letting our beloved Cheez-Its get stale!!) These also save a lot of space compared to regular chip clips and are safer considering there isn't a spring that could either wear out or break on you in the middle of sealing something. 😬
Gripstic is a small business that specializes in reusable chip clips.
Promising review: "I'm a stickler about stale chips and have always used those little snapping clips. I thought they worked pretty well, but they really don't compare to Gripstics. The snack that proved this the most was Pirate's Booty. If these are exposed to air for more than three minutes, they turn into styrofoam peanuts. I promise they're just as fresh as when you first open them with Gripstics. They're going to be my go-to chip clips moving forward." —Rachel Campbell
Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $23.95 (available in four sets).
17. A foldable, delightfully portable compact kitchen scale that collapses so efficiently and discretely that when friends come over for baking night, they'll be like, "EXCUSE YOU?? Are you a WITCH?" Nah, just someone very good at buying cleverly designed, space-saving kitchen products 😎.
Promising review: "I need to weigh and measure my food. This scale has allowed me to eat out. I take it with me, get an extra plate, and weigh out my portions. You can easily rest a dinner plate on it and still see the display. Fits in a purse and is light. If you need to weigh your food, and you would like to eat out from time to time, I would say this will be a game changer for you." —Kelly H
Get it from Amazon for $28.99.
18. An ingenious "SnotSucker" nasal aerator to help unclog your baby's stuffy nose by — well — quite literally sucking the snot out yourself. Not only will it give your little bean instant relief, but it will give YOU plenty of future opportunities to tell your future unruly teen, "How dare you treat me this way? I sucked the LITERAL SNOT out of your NOSE!!"
Each SnotSucker comes with 24 hygiene filters.
Promising review: "This is the way. For those who have never used this tool, you may be thinking, there’s got to be a better, less gross way to deal with baby snot. There’s not. This thing is so effective at clearing out your baby’s nose. Your baby will hate it, but you’ll likely develop a sense of pride and accomplishment at the sheer amount of snot you’re able to remove and the sounds of your baby breathing clearly. The filter works, and I have never gotten snot in my mouth (thank god)." —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $19.89.
19. A set of self-adhesive towel grips you can apply anywhere in your kitchen, from the fridge to the walls to the insides of cabinets, for easy access to dishcloths and towels. These are especially great for parents because kids can knock into these without the "yikes!!" and knocking against a traditional towel hook.
Promising review: "These are great for storing in a cabinet to hang gloves and hand towels. I can also see this product being useful in multiple areas of your home, including the bathrooms and or bedrooms, in addition to the kitchen." —Tara Marie
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five styles and in four packs).
20. A set of Bernie Bunny toaster tongs to stop you from playing electric shock/burn/OUCH!! roulette every time you try to retrieve something that's fallen deep into the toaster with your human hand. This is also an excellent fix for parents worrying about kids making their own toast, since Bernie is so cute that they'll be ~hoppy~ to use him.
Promising review: "These are so useful at reaching into the toaster and grabbing waffles that have fallen, or bagels that are too hot, or even toast when it’s homemade bread and needs to be turned. Plus, and actually foremost — they’re ADORABLE! I love a little whimsy and the functionality these offer, with the whimsy make them a 5-star item!" —Dani Elle
Get it from Amazon for $13.50.
21. A portable folding travel garment rack so you can make the entire *world* your closet at a moment's notice. People especially swear by this for special events and business travel or even for drying clothes out on camping trips.
Promising review: "When I travel, I load my tops in the suitcase still on their slimline hangers. Have you ever noticed places never have enough hangers or even space at times for your clothes? This was so perfect. I was able to take my clothes from the suitcase and hang them right in my hotel room. When not using it for travel, I have downstairs with my washer and dryer and use it when I want to air dry." —Work At Home
Get it from Amazon for $26.39 (available in two colors).
22. An investment-worthy "Sud Scrub" antimicrobial body scrubber to gently but efficiently exfoliate your entire human body, *and* save you money in the long term — unlike traditional loofahs and scrubbers, this silicone version can be sanitized over and over again, and doesn't need to be replaced.
Promising review: "The BEST thing I've ever bought myself. The $30 price is high but justified, in my opinion. How I see it is that for something that lasts a whole year, I’m saving money in the long run compared to something like loofahs that I have to replace every few weeks. I have sensitive skin, and the product feels very gentle yet still exfoliates. I don’t quite know how to describe the feeling … it’s kind of massaging. I can definitely see a difference in my skin after using it, especially since my skin tends to get super dry in the winter. This removes all those pesky flakes on my neck and body." —AK
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six styles).
23. A HotSips reusable straw designed with hot drinks like coffee and tea in mind, made with flexible silicone that can withstand heat and fit in most tumblers. Not only is this great for protecting your teeth from stains, but it also features an oval shape to make it easier to suck from (and prevent puckering your lips too much!).
Brilli Baby is a small business that specializes in drink accessories for family and home use.
Promising review: "These straws are great. They can go in the microwave when my drinks get cold, and they're easy to clean since they can go in the dishwasher. It's flexible but still firm enough to not feel floppy. I feared the oval shape would feel weird or make the straw feel too narrow, but it's perfectly fine with the added bonus of being able to fit through travel mug caps." —Jessica He
Get as set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 styles).
24. A set of sneaker holsters perfect for anyone who doesn't have enough room in their backpack or gym bag to accommodate their big ole smelly sneakers (or just doesn't want them co-mingling with their clean gear!).
25. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount designed for use on all airlines — not only can you mount it to the tray table of an airplane seat, but to the arm of a chair or any flat surface, so you'll be able to stream content easy as pie wherever you roam. Reviewers have used it on everything from their car dashboards to carry-on handles to office desks to bedside tables.
Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go.
Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." —Earendil
Get it from Amazon for $12.97.
26. A clip finger phone grip to promote more balance when you're on the move, whether you're running with your phone, using it to take selfies, or just generally prone to dropping it on the cement (prayers up to the screen-cracking gods!!!). Reviewers love that this is a comfier, steadier alternative to ring clips!
27. A teensy single-serve microwave egg poacher for those of us slowly entering our "fancy egg era" but determined to stay squarely in our "do everything as easily as possible era." Brunch at home should require one brain cell at the most, thank you very much!!
Promising review: "I love, love, love this thing! One was given to me at Christmas. I found that I used it so often I bought a second one so that I would not be without one ever. Top rack dishwasher safe. A breeze to use and clean! Poached eggs are my favorite, and this has made it easy to have them daily." —Design1774
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
28. A set of paint touch-up pens to quickly deal with lil' scuff and scratch marks that pop up on your walls without having to do the whole song and dance of whipping out a giant roller brush. (Ah, we love the fresh smell of "getting my deposit back" in the morning.)
Slobproof is a small business that specializes in home improvement products.
Reviewers also love these for doing detail work on painted designs and murals! As an added bonus, these are totally airtight, so the paint in them won't dry out if you don't finish up the pain in the pen all at once.
Promising review: "These are genius! They work so well and make it no hassle to quickly retouch small areas that get scratched up. Never knew something like this existed, and now am in love with them!" —Jeff

Promising review: "I gave this to my son who is at college, because it just looks fun. It’s kind of become a mascot because his roommates like it, too. It’s also useful for getting every last spoonful out of a jar — so perfect for a college kiddo’s tight budget!" —LCP
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (clip the $2 off coupon on the product page for this price).
30. A clever cutlery cleaner that suctions itself right onto the edge or corner of your sink so you can suds up your sharper utensils and get a deep clean without worrying about accidentally slicing your human self.
Promising review: "Highly recommend. It fits perfectly in the sink corner. I add a couple of drops of dish detergent to the bristles. The faucet sprays over as I swipe the utensils. Perfect for forks and steak knives, which are 'hand-wash only.' No cuts on hands!" —Nana T
Get it from Amazon for $9.65.
31. A "Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier.
Check out a TikTok of the Gracula in action.
Promising review: "This lil' Gracula is the most adorable thing in my kitchen! He works SO great, too! No wasted garlic, and you can control the size you get. I bought one for myself, and then after seeing how great it works, I ordered two more as gifts, and I will definitely order more! Ya just gotta love Gracula!" —Meow Ma
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

It comes with three thickness levels so you can get JUST the right cut to satisfy your palate.
Psst — this also pays for itself over time since you'll be saving a TON of money by not buying pre-sliced cheese!

35. A flat RFID-blocking fanny pack you can either wear traditionally or sneakily under your clothes while traveling, keeping your valuables safe both from pickpockets and from your habit of getting distracted and leaving them everywhere you go (guilty as charged).
Promising review: "Discreet yet spacious. I purchased this for a recent trip. I was able to fit my phone, passport, credit cards, and cash in it easily, and it wasn’t bulky or obvious under my clothing. It was comfortable to wear for extended periods of time." —KailensMom

Promising review: "What an ingenious product! I wish I had found this sooner in life. My straightener is something I use every day, so it's always out. But I'm also limited by a tiny bathroom countertop. This product sticks to the back of the countertop and keeps my straightener out of the way when I'm not using it. I've had it for a few months now and not had a single issue with it falling off." —Cindy
