1. A dog food tracker so you aren't overfeeding your feline friend. Let's be honest they are good actors and will act like they haven't eaten even after you've fed them.
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just see if it's green and if not I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

2. A high-tech water bottle that glows when you're running behind on your hydration goals. Hydration is so important to your overall health and can even affect your mood so grab this water bottle to prioritize your hydration *and* health!
Promising review: "Our family has a number of reusable water bottles from different brands, but this is by far our newest favorite! After my wife saw me use my water bottle just for a few days, she had to have one and we ordered her one as well. The simplicity with which this water bottle tracks your water intake is perfect. You don't have to even think about it — just fill up, drink, refill, repeat." —James77

Promising review: "I love this list. Like many these days, I’m working virtually. It’s difficult having everything online and I like having this tangible to do list. Instead of randomly lurching from one overwhelming task to another, this to-do list lets me plan out each day and keeps me organized so I don’t get distracted. I start fresh each day (I actually wrote my list the night before. That way I’m ready to go when I get up) so I don’t feel like I have tasks that never go away! I also love the spot to keep track of food and activities as that gives me a break to focus on something other than work. My favorite part is the very top ‘today I am grateful for.' This helps be build gratitude into my day and appreciate all the wonderful people I have in my life." —Joy
Get it from Amazon for $11.29.
4. And a magnetic weekly meal-planning pad to help keep your breakfast, lunch, and dinner on track. There's even a special spot to keep your grocery list, because a meal plan is useless if you have nothing to actually cook.
Promising review: "I got this because I wanted to have some structure in my week and not have to think about what to cook for dinner every night. It has helped tremendously and I recommend it to anyone who struggles with coming up with meals on the day of. At the end of each week, I pick out everything I’m going to cook for the next week's meals and write them down and put anything I don’t already have on the shopping list. Now instead of not making something or having to make an extra trip to get ingredients, I just make one trip a week to the store and have everything I need. This definitely helped with the stress of cooking." —Chante
Get it from Amazon for $7.95+ (available in five styles).
5. A 60-pack of self-stick organizing tabs so you can actually find the notes you are looking for. Yes, even your notes need organization!
Promising review: "These babies are pretty sturdy and they make putting notes in a book, or planner, or magazine, or whatever a complete breeze. I really like the ease of these and if you are creative you can make these work for any project. I use them in my textbooks to summarize my notes on a chapter. I also have short term memory loss after a car accident, I like reading novels, but can't remember things. So I use one of these as a bookmark, and take a few minutes to jot down key things from the book. I really, really, really like these and I am glad they exist." —Delaney
Get a set of 60 from Amazon for $7.79.
6. Game-changing ceiling fan pulls because no matter how hard you try you can never remember which chain is for the light and which chain is for the fan — at least I can't! Easily connect to the chains on your fan and never guess again.
Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek...now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor (when you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?). As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD
Get them from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two colors and two lengths).
7. A toothpaste dispenser that's ideal for small bathrooms. Clear up the minimal counter and drawer space by hanging this dispenser on the wall, not to mention, you don't ever have to fuss and fumble with a toothpaste tub again.
Promising review: "Every household with kids should have this thing, actually EVERY HOUSEHOLD, REGARDLESS! No more finding toothpaste everywhere but down the sink drain, no more throwing half a tube away because of lost caps, insert your favorite brand in the dispenser and voila! Simply press your brush against lever and a perfectly portioned dollop every time. When it’s time to rinse, grab one of the four cups that are hidden in the top and bottom of this little masterpiece. Rinse your brush, open the storage compartment, hang brush, and shut lid! Bristles are covered and protected from the wide array of germs that like to inhabit bathrooms." —Jen
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three colors).
8. Or a sink-side toothbrush holder that has a space for it all. Load up toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand soap, or use it for hair products.
Promising review: "This product is exactly what I needed by my bathroom sink! It holds a couple of toothbrushes, the toothpaste, and the hand soap (which I ordered separately). I threw out the one I had that ended up getting yucky moldy stuff at the bottom. Now I have no worries. It's the simple things in life." —ChangingLeaves
Get it from Amazon for $10.87+ (available in two colors and two styles).
9. A bidet to get you rear back in gear. It comes with all the parts you will need to install it in minutes and you will love how much you save on toilet paper.
Promising review: "The bidet has been around forever and I'm kind of lazy and like the idea of having someone or something do the wiping for me. I own a fleet of cleaning robots after all, how is this different? Let me tell you, my backside is super clean. I use TP to dry and it comes up clean every time. That is a lovely feeling. I give it a 10 of 10 and need another for the other bathroom." —chaas
Get it from Amazon for $37.09+ (available in three colors).
10. A handmade wooden rack so your entry way isn't lined with everyone's shoes because you've got a strict policy of "no shoes in the house." Also, great for hanging backpacks, purses, reusable grocery bags, and hats.

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 caddy works beautifully. The magnetic connection is very helpful. I load it up at the beginning of the week and I can take one day at a time with me to work. The lids can be closed tight for transport. I highly recommend this product. It's the best pill caddy I have ever had." —sgh

13. A nifty gadget that can foam up a pearl-size amount of facial cleanser. Add water and pump the gadget to achieve a marshmallow whip facial cleanser that'll give your complexion a deep clean.
Promising review: "Does exactly what it advertises: makes a thick whipped cream/foam out of washes, making it economical as well as fun. It can 'soften' harsh washes to make the concoction gentler on skin. It's also great for mixing washes if you have two or more you'd like to combine for different effects. And of course, a little goes a long, long way with this puppy." —KnockKnockMe
Get it from Amazon for $8.
14. A high-tech toothbrush that will help you score an A+ when you go in for your next teeth cleaning. This Bluetooth toothbrush will track each session and show you the spots you need to give a little more attention too.
This kit comes with one toothbrush handle, two refill heads, and a travel case.
Promising review: "I love this toothbrush. My dentist's office has been closed during the pandemic, but this leaves my teeth squeaky clean! I used to use a Sonicare, so when I saw the price, I wasn't sure that this would work but I am so impressed. It’s way more affordable than other brands, but works just as well." —lR
Get the starter kit from Amazon for $17.40+ (available in two colors).
15. A light bulb that changes colors *and* lets you control it right from your phone. Set it to sync with your music and the lights will change with the music rhythm to really set the vibe.
Promising review: "I decided to try out this pack of bulbs because of the multicolor feature, and I was not disappointed. They work well, have many color options to choose from, and the convenience of use over Wi-Fi is great.
My friend and I each share devices with each other in case we need the other person to turn our lights on or off for us when we aren't home, and even the remote sharing works wonderfully. I wish I could attest to how long they last, but so far with nearly one year on the first bulb, I see no issues." —EvP

16. A set of gold cable organizers so every time you go to disconnect your cord it doesn't fall behind your desk. Use these for your nightstands so you can charge your phone while you recharge your body.
Brighttia is a New York-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in industrial and modern interior lighting and decor.
Promising review: "These brass cable organizers are beautiful and high quality. I’m using two of them to keep a plug-in sconce cord attached to the wall and to direct the cord to the electrical outlet. These little gold pieces add a touch of functionality and glamour to the sconces. Exactly what I was looking for." —Amy Margolis
Get a two-pack from Brighttia on Etsy for $12.98 (available in eight colors and more multi-packs).
17. An automatic pet feeder that, once again, you control from your phone. We are living in the future here people!! This allows you to feed your pet if you are away at work or on vacation, you can even record a message to say hello!
Promising review: "I ordered this for my two cats and this feeder is exactly what I needed. The app was super easy to download and set up, plus the feeder looks modern and stylish in my kitchen. The amount of food it stores ensures we don’t have to worry about our cats going hungry if we are away." —Matthew Wright
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two colors).
18. A robotic mop because now that we have a robot vacuum we need a robot mop too. The little robot has three cleaning modes — wet mopping, damp mopping, and dry sweeping.
Promising review: "It’s really hard keeping my house clean between a 7-year-old, a husband, and three dogs. So after getting a vacuum robot and how wonderful that was, I decided I should get one to mop. I hate mopping. And this little guy saved my life. I let it charge for about an hour or so to get a full charge then let it clean my hall, kitchen, and dining area. It did amazing. I can’t really complain because this little thing just made my life easier." —Loren
Get it from Amazon for $199.99.
19. A hanging laundry hamper you can hang right on the back of your bathroom door so your clothes never end up on the floor again. When the hamper is full you can unhook and take it to the laundry room where you unzip the bottom to easily unload the bag.
I've personally used this for about a year now and WOW, where has this been all my life?! Every little bit of space counts in New York City apartments, and this miracle hamper helped me clear up enough space to fit a new shelving unit in my room. I've been using the adhesive hooks it comes with and they have held up surprisingly well, even when my hamper gets a bit more full than I'd like to admit.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four colors and two-pack options).
20. A set of Swedish dishcloths that are the sustainable trade off to paper towels and sponges. Safe to use on most surfaces and they absorb 20x their weight.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these. For quite a while I have been frustrated with kitchen/dish towels. I find most to be not nearly absorbent enough, too large and awkward, and needing frequent disinfecting to avoid smelling funky.
These towel sponges are exactly what I needed in a dish cloth. They are absorbent, just the right size, antimicrobial, and easy to clean! Add in that they are sourced from a small family business and I'm thrilled." —Nathaniel Rider
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $20.95 (available in seven colors and a variety pack).
21. A detangling brush for pain-free untangling on matter what your hair type is and it won't damage your hair. No more dealing with annoying knots when you're trying to get ready in the morning.
Promising review: "This does wonders for my hair and makes brushing so much easier. I have very fine hair, but tons and tons of it, which makes brushing difficult at times as it tangles so easily. This brush really helps with that and keeps me from having to re-brush my hair every couple of hours. It also doesn't pull the natural waves out of my hair, like so many other brushes did. So my hair is wavy and untangled within a couple of minutes. The ergonomic hold took a little getting used to, but it's much more comfortable than the usual oval paddle end of most brushes. It gives you more control, which makes it easier." —L
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in seven colors).
22. A handy brush that perfect fits utensils so you can clean all the hard-to-reach places (goodbye, leftover sauce). Perfect for cleaning knifes and other sharp eating utensils while protecting your phalanges.
23. A dishwasher magnet to prevent a pile up from happening in the sink because no one knows if the dishwasher is clean or dirty. Give everyone you live with a 'lil notice, so post-meal cleanup will be a breeze.
Promising review: "A stylish, functional little magnet. Eliminates the need to wonder if that cup looks dirty or is it just hard water etc. Also just looks cute on the dishwasher. I do not run mine daily as I have a small household and when it does get filled, more often than I'd like to admit, the clean dishes live in the dishwasher, getting picked off as needed. This makes that process much simpler." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.54.
24. A 10-foot lightning cable so you can kick back and relax with your phone or iPad not matter where the outlet is. This is great for traveling because hotel room outlets are sometimes in very inconvenient places.
Promising review: "You can never go wrong with extra long charging cables! My wife and I use these for charging our phones on our nightstands so we can use the phones in bed without over stretching shorter cables. The braided cables are nice and the red connectors add a little pop of color. We’ve had other brands of cables fall apart at the connector in a short amount of time but these seem pretty solid." —Mr. D
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors and three other lengths).
25. A custom leather key organizer so your gate key, house key, mail key, laundry key, pool key, and key to the gym (ugh, apartment living) all are nice and neat in one location and you don't sound like you're carrying about a rattle.

26. A set of clear plastic jars that'll help you see exactly what you need in the bathroom. I use mine for Q-tips, reusable makeup rounds, and hair ties.
Promising review: "I was a little unsure of how these jars/canisters were going to work, whether they'd be too big or small, but it turns out they're just what I was looking for. After many years of use, the old cotton ball and Q-tip containers my kids had were scratched and ready to retire. Now that they have a longer counter, these jars fit side by side with their daily needs at their reach. I bought a set of three glass ones originally, but hesitated to put them in their bathroom for fear of finding out that they broke the glass, so I went with these instead. They look very high-quality, very shiny, and they each hold a lot of items. I love looking at these jars. They make the counter look neat!"—Mushi2Anone
Get a set from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four sizes and two colors).
27. A set of lock laces because you've spent plenty of time looping, swooping, and pulling. Keep those laces tied with this lock and never have to stop your workout to retie the shoes you just tied 20 minutes ago.
Promising review: "I can't believe just how pumped I am over these shoelaces! They make me wanna slip my shoes off and on just because I can! They make my shoes more comfortable than I could have ever imagined (due to the elasticity). I have them set up to just the right amount of tightness to where I can just slip my shoes on and off without having to adjust them at all (and they are plenty tight). Welcome to the 21st century!" —dm925
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).
28. A set of meal prep containers so you can quickly turn your leftovers into lunch for tomorrow. No wasted food in your house and no more spending your paycheck on DoorDash.
Promising review: "These are some of the best containers I've ever purchased. They are weighty and feel super solid. I'm impressed how deep the container is too! I believe the best feature of the container is the lid. It has a rubber gasket around the rim that makes the container leak proof from any potential tipping! The snaps also feel secure when closing the lid. It is nice as well how it gives you the option to remove the snaps on the side if you want to thoroughly clean the lid." —Maddie
Get a five-pack from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three colors).
29. A set of airtight food storage containers because there is NO more food waste in your house. These airtight containers will protect your food from going stale.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these containers from Chef’s Path!! Have been searching for a good set for quite some time and am happy I stumbled upon these. I feel these containers are of a higher quality than others and the price is much more affordable. I really like the fact that the lid handles are made up of durable plastic. The assortment of sizes is a plus, they’re easy to stack one on another and are rather durable. The locking mechanism works well to seal but not difficult like others I’ve tried to open. The pen, chalkboard labels, and measuring spoon set are a great addition to the set. Everything you might need for pantry organization has been provided." —Manzi
Get a set of 14 from Amazon for $45.99 (also available in a four-pack, 24-pack, or 36-pack).
30. A trash can for your car so you can stop apologizing every time someone gets into your front seat. How is it 2023 and cars still don't come with trash cans?!
Promising review: "This little waste can is perfect for my new car that has way less storage room inside than my old one. It fits perfectly and securely behind the console within easy reach of the driver or passenger. The flexible opening is genius — perfect size for cans, bottles and any other waste. I love that the lid can be securely closed with hook and loop and I also like the the little added benefit of the storage pockets on all sides. Surprising quality of materials — seems very sturdy. Although I haven't tested it yet the inside is a heavy plastic that I'm sure will be waterproof although for convenience I will be using small liners. I don't often take the time to write reviews but wanted to share on this one. It is a quality product for a great price." —Tamara S.
Get it on Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four colors).
31. A shower curtain with POCKETS!! Some clothes can't seem to come with pockets, but at least you can get a shower curtain with them. If you have a tiny bathroom or a large family where storage space is limited go ahead and add this to your cart.
Promising review: "I LOVE this shower curtain. I have been buying this curtain for the past six years. If you have a shower that doesn’t have a lot of ledge room for all your 'stuff,' this shower curtain will be your best friend. You can fit so many things inside the pockets! I honestly only use like four to five of the pockets. You can also use this as a liner and have another more decorative shower curtain on the outside but I personally use it as a shower curtain. I usually change it every six months because it does start getting a little soap scummy on the bottom. The best shower curtain/liner money can buy!" —DAtkins
Get it from Amazon for $19.88+ (available in two colors).
32. A hanging storage unit so you can outfit-prep like you meal-prep. Pick out all your work outfits for the week and see how easy your mornings get. No more getting the eye from your boss when you walk in late. 😒
Promising review: "This hanging closet organizer is perfect and just what I was looking for. It was easy to assemble and is made extremely well. I have everything from towels to sheets, a jacket, down vest, and sweaters stored on the shelves and it isn't sagging at all. The side pockets are very useful and provides extra storage for smaller miscellaneous items." —RihannonJ
Get it from Amazon for $12.87 (available in eight colors).
33. A set of fridge organizing drawers to help you neatly arrange everything you bought from the grocery store. Whether that was some eggs, yogurts, or produce, these handy bins will help you know exactly where everything is on the shelves.
Promising review: "Excellent organization system! I once opened the fridge often, always looking for something I hadn't seen the last time I checked. The thing is — I often found something new because it just wasn't organized in a functional way. Now, with this system, I find what I'm looking for the first time. And when a bin is empty, I know I need to buy more of that product and just ask my smart home to add that item to my shopping list. Very grateful for the sense of calm and control that this fridge organization system has given me, and for all of the food that is no longer going bad in the back of the fridge!" —Chelsea T.

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this item!!! I love it so much I bought it again, in a different color, for another bag. It keeps your handbag clean, organized and maintains its value!!! They fit perfectly inside all of my bags, and when I want to keep the same color organizer, all I have to do is lift it up and place it in another bag. It already has everything I need and I don’t have to reorganize!!! If you like to keep your handbags clean and organized this is the BEST invention ever!!!" —Jamie R.

Promising review: "I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." —tunisianswife

36. A bedside caddy because the time you spend looking for your TV remote is really eating into your Netflix session and you can stop bickering with your significant other about who lost the remote again.
Promising review: "Love this bedside pocket organizer. The outside pockets hold lots of things like phone, earbuds, chargers, and medicine. The large pocket is big enough for an iPad or book. I used this while at home recovering from an injury. Would definitely recommend." —Kaleb Booth

I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L.
