    43 Super Simple Products To Make Life A Bit Less Stressful In 2024

    The reviewer-loved, undated habit calendar might be just the thing you need as we soar into 2024.

    1. A popular time-marked water bottle, because you're probably dehydrated as we speak. The time stamps help you stay on track with how much water you've actually drunk throughout the day, and it also doubles as a little bestie with phrases that cheer you on as you strive to reach your H2O goal intake.

    Promising review: "At first I was somewhat hopeful, but then I was like no way will marking each hour on a bottle actually help me drink more wa— HOLY HELL IT WORKS!!! Those times marked on the bottle are little reminders on where you are with your water intake for the day without having to think. It’s like your mom telling you to drink more water.
    The straw is GREAT — not the weird kind where you have to bite it to suck the water out — and it doesn’t make a loud sucking noise at all. Also, it does NOT spill when my kids knock it to the floor every five minutes. An overall win. I don’t usually write reviews, but for this I had to... this bottle has ended my dehydration." —Amazon Customer

    Get it on Amazon for $20.99 (available in 14 colors).

    2. daily planner that's so adorably organized, you'll want to keep sneaking a peek at what your day is gonna look like. It helps you track your calls, goals, water intake, and even has a gratitude reminder section!

    Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

    Bliss Collections is a small, family-owned business based in Sussex, Wisconsin.

    Promising review: "I can't think of a better 'top of the morning' expression than 'You've Got This!' That got my attention. Love the visual clock graphic too. I use a weekly planner and having daily pages available as needed are great. The layout is useful, not excessively detailed while still including all the important sections. It's aesthetically pleasing." —Wynelle

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in nine styles).

    3. An undated habit calendar here to offer you the guidance you need to finally reach those goals you've been looking to achieve. It includes 12 months worth of tracking strategies for daily, weekly, and monthly goals, and even has a lil' brainstorm section that helps you think about things you might want to track, like your budget and sleep patterns.

    Promising review: "I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I've always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I'd been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some 'homework' pages at the beginning to help you focus in on your goals, but mostly it's the cleanness and ready-to-go nature of the monthly calendar pages that have worked for me. It's helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus so I'm not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend. Another friend saw me using it and also made a purchase. I'm really happy I made the leap." —Flight of Stars

    Get it from Amazon for $16.95.

    4. A weekly Wet & Forget shower cleaner if you haven't cleaned your shower in ages. This will rid it of soap scum, grime, and body oils *without* all the laborious scrubbing. It also removes stains from non-porous surfaces and leaves behind a soft, delightful vanilla scent. Just spray it on, let it sit overnight, rinse, and you're all set!

    Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo

    Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

    5. A super portable weekly pill organizer with a magnetized base for on-the-go convenience. It helps you easily organize your pills and vitamins for the week — and don't worry about knocking them over, the push-through silicone lids will keep them from spilling!

    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: "Love this thing!!! I'm only 30 and didn't want an old-lady pill box...and this one was modern and cool. The little slots to push in pills is fantastic and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one days worth of pills, set it on my counter and now I'm not to lazy to take my pills!" —Chicken McNugget

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four color combinations).

    6. A tub of magical cleaning paste, The Pink Stuff, which is bound to earn its own labeled space in your bathroom cabinet. Seriously. The way it effortlessly removes stains, grease, and grime and leaves just about any surface shiny and scratch-free should be considered witchcraft.

    Reviewer using it to clear up hard water stains in tub

    Promising review: "When I bought my house in 2017, the upstairs bathroom had a shower that was nasty. I thought 'no problem' because I’ll just use elbow grease and clean it up. I scrubbed and scrubbed and scraped and used everything under the sun. NOTHING worked!!! UNTIL...The Pink Stuff. This stuff has done what no other cleaning product, no amount of elbow grease, no amount of cursing, no amount of anything of anything else has ever done. I’m relatively convinced it’s made with tears of the gods or just some magic that I wish I discovered years ago. My tub looks brand-new!!!" —MNee

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    7. A weekly meal planner to save you time *and* money. It helps you plan all your meals in advance with space for your weekly shopping list so that you can take it to the store with you. Or stick it on your fridge so the kids can stop asking "what's for dinner?"

    The list magnetizes to the fridge, and has the meal plan on one side, and a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off and take with you on the other side.

    Promising review: "This simple tool is just what I needed to get dinner organized for each week. Deciding what to cook one night at a time can be stressful to me, and the added time of running to the store for the day's missing ingredients can really add up. Sometimes we would just give up and go out for dinner. This product has saved me time and money." —minmom24

    Get it from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in five styles).

    8. A set of Bed Bands because having to tuck all four corners of your fitted sheet back into your mattress by yourself is truly a humbling experience. These bands act like suspenders for your mattress so that your fitted sheet finally stops popping off in the middle of the night.

    Bed Band is a US-based small business that specializes in bands for mattresses of various sizes. 

    Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February, and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY...SINGLE...NIGHT. To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." —TinkerbellAPixie

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in standard and extra-long sizes, multiple packs, and in black, white, and pink).

    9. A set of squishy Globbles — if anything, adults need fidget toys even more than kids. Throw them at the wall, the ceiling, or at the cabinet you stubbed your toe on an hour ago and watch as they "glob" onto the surface in an ever so satisfying way. The best part? These stretchy little things stick onto basically any flat surface without leaving any messy residue!

    Promising review: "Bought a six-pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could. The inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69 (also available in a 16-pack). 

    10. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that you can wear as a headband so that you can stop worrying about dropping an airpod as you nap on a plane or having them hurt in your ears if you're trying to doze off to the sound of music or a podcast. *Yawns*.. goodnight.

    Promising review: "Oh my goodness! Where has this been all my life?? Just a couple of days ago I was trying to sleep with earbuds in. I would wake up every time I moved because they were hard and hurt my ears. But THESE wireless headphones are the best! I can turn over in bed freely and it doesn't wake me up. I have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. Now I can play sleep videos which help drone me to sleep and keep me asleep. The only drawback is that while I love the material it can be a little warm in the middle of the night. I LOVE THEM!!" —Godsinger

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 16 colors).

    11. A pair of ridiculously comfortable pull-on Levi's jeans, which combine the versatility of denim with the comfort of leggings. Hey, anything that makes my OOTD look like I tried much harder than I *actually* did is a win for me.

    Promising review: "Let me first start out by saying I'm a mom of two, in my mid-thirties. Pants and I disagree on far too many levels (aka, once I found leggings after having children, it's been impossible to go back). Pair that with working from home (ahem, never having motivation to wear actual pants even if I wanted to) and you have a full blown 'this woman is going to spend the rest of her life in yoga pants' situation. Enter these jeggings. I am not even apologizing for using the silly term of 'jeggings.' These could nearly pass for a legging-feel situation. ON TOP OF THAT, they look like real jeans. DONE. TAKE MY MONEY."Sara W.

    Get it from Amazon for $14.96+ (available in women's sizes 2–28, three inseams, and 17 colors).

    12. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller to pick up all your dog's (and your!) hair as you roll it across any surface, and it stows it away in the roller itself! It's a fan fave and requires no adhesives, sticky tape, or batteries to clean up after your furry family member. Seriously, this deserves ALL the rounds of appaws.

    Promising review: "My cat sheds and I saw this on TikTok and very much thought of it as an impulsive purchase at first for its price tag. But no, this is a very very necessary item in my day to day life. Does it pick up every single hair leaving everything completely hairless, not really, it can be difficult to pick up hair from difficult crevices/corners and hair that's trapped within woven fabrics/upholsteries — HOWEVER — it does a wayyy wayyy better dang job than a lint roller or other products that rival this. My mother picked up something from a competitor and it did not clean up the hair as well as this did. I keep getting these for my pet-having friends as gifts because it's truly a holy grail product. I like that it picks up human hair too because as a long hair haver I can shed about as much as my cat does. It's a durable product too, I've had mine for about a year now and it still works like it used to and it's fairly easy to clean the inside." —Connie

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 

    13. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you work from home and get the sudden urge to dash out for a snack or walk the dog (priorities, right?). This helpful gadget lets you stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack in the meantime!

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in eight styles). 

    14. A Pet House candle, because your adorable pet tends to cause some not-so-adorable scents (don't worry, we still love you Max). It's designed to cancel out pet odors litter boxes, dog beds, and that mysterious pee smell that perhaps you've become immune to, but other visitors haven't. 😬

    Promising review: "These candles are fantastic! They smell great, and do a great job of eliminating any odors in your house, not only those from pets. They do work best if you burn them for one to two hours at a time, but will get rid of the smells of wet dog, fecal smells, urine odors, and I’ve even found them useful for cooking odors. I highly recommend these candles. I purchased the Vanilla Crème Brûlée scent. I often get headaches from powerful scents, but have never gotten one from these lovely candles!" —Heather

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in 16 scents).

    15. A super chic rechargeable electric lighter that'll replace all your old (and future!) gas ones. This flameless gem is made with a long stem so you can use it to light gas burners and candles without dealing with an open flame. Reviewers even rave about its long battery life and how it makes the simple act of lighting a candle just a little more fun!

    Promising reviews: "This is the best thing ever! Everyone is getting one for Christmas this year! 😂 The charge lasts so long, too. Great product! Also, I like the safety feature of pushing the tab forward and back to ensure it doesn’t go off by itself. Great product!" —S. Daoud

    "This is now probably the coolest little gadget I own. It sounds like a very tiny taser, haha. It’s super easy to use, you just charge it, and it doesn’t take very long to charge; then when it’s done, just slide it up and hold down on the power button. That’s it. It’s also so much fun to use." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 12 colors).

    16. A miraculous veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades that slice and chop your fruits and veggies for you. It cuts down your food prep time by a LOT, making it a huge relief for when you have guests coming over and you didn't know making stir fry could take that long.

    Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper that was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five styles and four colors).

    17. A brain tension salve, which may be just the remedy you need to help you settle into some relieving calmness. Just rub it on your temples, wrists, or neck and let the peppermint, lavender, eucalyptus, and other calming essential oils soothe your mind.

    Promising review: "I get stress headaches at work and as soon as I feel it coming on, I rub some salve on my temples and wrists and it is gone within like 15 minutes. I hate constantly taking ibuprofen for it to only make it a little better. My sister also uses the sleep salve and says she hasn't slept that good in years and does not wake up groggy. She has anxiety and sometimes has trouble sleeping but this stuff is amazing!" —Krysten Allen

    18. A front seat organizer that comes with two extra drink holders and even has a dedicated space for little knickknacks like your phone, lip balm, hand sanitizer, etc. Perfect for cars without drink holders! Or if you just enjoy going on Starbucks runs, but your roomies, besties, or S.O. don't let you get just one. 🙃

    Promising review: "Most awesome thing I think I bought all year! I have a small sports car, no cup-holders. This thing looks awesome, is well-made, and is sturdy! It's everything I needed and it looks fantastic in my car, even though I have dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" —2019

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in six colors).

    19. A set of Wonder Hangers, which will really and truly maximize all the extra space in your closet (even if it doesn't *look* like there's any extra space 😬). And bonus! They come fully assembled, so all you gotta do is hang them in your closet and go buy cute new tops to fill them with.

    Promising review:  "These are so clever and versatile! I live in an old house with tiny closets so I have to get creative. These are great because they can be used hanging horizontally or vertically. I also found they work great for hanging camisoles and tank tops. I can see what I have and take just the one I need!" —Therese Van Heuveln

    Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." —Kimberly C. 

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $7.94+ (available in three color sets). 

    22. And an oral rinse if you have good oral hygiene but want your minty fresh breath to last all day. This rinse works instantly to target and fight bad breath germs for up to 24 hours. Some reviewers claim it has also helped reduce tonsil stones and prevented new ones from forming.

    Promising review: "TikTokers have done it again. This was one of the products on Amazon a person could not live without, stating all-day freshness. It's true — I cannot believe it. The taste isn't strong; it does not burn at all. It keeps my breath smelling fresh all day no matter what I eat. This brand will be a new staple in my bathroom and morning routine." —Zac

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.34.

    23. An under-cabinet lid opener, because challenging yourself to open that jar of olives is all fun and games until it becomes a household competition and things get aggressive. Don't worry, this compact little tool will help you out *and* save you lots of wrist strain.

    Promising review: "I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help in opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters. There was one person who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the 'V' closest to you and with it placed in the front, in the right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions, and it works perfectly and easily. I have already placed an order for another one for a gift or my sister." —cat lover

    24. A sleep-focused essential-oils blend for those frustrating, insomniac nights. Infused with chamomile, sage, and lavender, this is designed to help soothe anxiety and reduce stress so that you can fall into a deep, restful slumber.

    Psst — if you don't have a diffuser, you can get a popular, well-reviewed essential-oil diffuser on Amazon for $15.99.

    25. A reviewer-beloved copy of Burn After Writing if you want to have your Regina George "burn book" moment in a healthy, stress-relieving way. Through a series of thought experiments and questions, this book encourages you to take a trip down memory lane so that you can better see both the meaningful feelings you should embrace and the ones you should try to let go.

    Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

    Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business that offers pet supplies, from cleaners, to treats, grooming tools, toys, and more.

    Promising review: "We tried everything trying to get cat urine out of a headboard and corner of the bed. Probably after six or seven different products, found this. Not only does this smell really good...it brought the urine to the outside of the materials to be blotted out and removed. It doesn't just cover up the urine smell. The scent stayed and the urine smell was immediately gone. I would definitely recommend this before anything else as we've spent triple the cost of this for the others to just not work. THIS DOES!" —David J. Rice

    It also doubles as a strainer, and you can use the holes in the lid to portion out long pastas.

    Promising review: "I love pasta, but I hate *making* pasta. Too many pots, pans, strainer, cleanup, etc. Forget it. And after a long day at work when I am craving pasta, all I want to do is eat right away. This pasta cooker cooked pasta better than I have ever cooked pasta in my life. I am Italian, so as you can imagine I have eaten (and made myself) a LOT of pasta. This product is a game changer. It was extremely easy to use, cooked quickly, and it came out PERFECTLY. Not over cooked, a little al dente, but not firm. Perfection. Now I have no excuse not to cook pasta for myself (and my husband) practically every day. BUY THIS. It will change your life." —Hope Lanza

    28. dishwasher magnet that you'll want if you've ever experienced the horror of watching your roommate put dirty dishes into a clean dishwasher.

    Promising review: "What took them so long?? Every household should have one of these. Does your partner point to the dishwasher and ask you, "Hey, are these good?" Mine did, almost daily. Not anymore, though! A breeze to install (our dishwasher is magnetic, but I'm really glad it came with adhesive pads — someday when we move, if we need them we have them!), and even though I bought it (mostly) as a joke, I use the heck out of it. Slides easily when it needs to." —Andrea Braun

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four styles).

    29. A sneaky little K-Cup storage drawer you can use to save counter space and stash your growing collection of coffee pods. Plus, this way no one will know just how big of a coffee addict you are. 🤫

    Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-cups.

    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

    30. A pair of cut-resistant gloves, so that your fingies no longer have to fear for their life when you reach for that knife. Throw these on and you'll be choppin' up those fruits and veggies with more confidence, whether you're a beginner or a pro!

    Promising review: "I bought the gloves because I had two nasty cuts in quick succession from a cheese grater. Anyone who has had injuries to their fingers knows how difficult it is to continue to do everyday activities and meal preparation while still protecting your wound. I received the gloves quickly after my order and pressed them into use immediately that evening. I am most impressed. My fingers/hands were protected from my very sharp grater and knife while I prepared dinner. I bought two pairs, one to keep and one to give as a gift. I am now going to buy a third pair in a larger size for a friend who also likes to cook but suffers from occasional run-ins with mandolines, graters, and knives. Great product!" —O'Hare

    31. A pair of compression gloves you'll appreciate if your job requires you to be on a laptop for long periods of time. Their gentle compression helps relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness in your finger joints without stopping you from being able to type up your fifth follow-up email on this fine Monday morning.

    They're designed for people with conditions including arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid pain.

    Promising review: "When I tell you these gloves are heaven-sent. I've been having unbearable pain to the point I've been unable to use my hand. I'm in my early 30s, so that's scary. I've used tons of units and pain patches but they only provided temporary relief for a few minutes or hours. Purchasing these gloves I've now been able to use my hand again within the first 24 hours. Initially they were too small/tight, but I contacted the seller, whom amazingly replaced them, and now I've been using them constantly without issue. I highly recommend these gloves." —ZBrand

    32. A four-tier kitchen organizer for those teeny tiny gaps in your kitchen that you thought had no use but to collect dust. Use this to store all your most-used spices and easily slide it in and out of its space, instead of cramming them all together and having them plan a sneak attack on you as you open the cabinet doors.

    It's perfect for things like condiments, baking ingredients, and canned goods, though many reviewers use this for their bathrooms and laundry spaces, too!

    Promising review: "This is pretty fantastic. I had the exact amount of space needed to put this little pantry between my refrigerator and cabinets. It was easy to install and holds quite a lot of stuff. I put about 24 bottles of water and juice and some cereal and I still had space. Highly recommend it for small spaces." —SIMARA

    33. A set of oven-safe glass meal prep containers with airtight lids that'll keep your food nice and fresh. The best part? You can cook, reheat, and eat out of 'em without even needing to go fetch a plate.

    Promising review: "Perfect for eco-friendly meal prep. I was looking to use less plastic and more glass in my meal storage which is why I ended up buying this set. The glass is thick and really durable, the lids fit snugly and everything is dishwasher safe. I feel better knowing I don't have chemicals leaching into my food. Well-made product." —HoorayForCoffee

    Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

    36. A set of Sea Bands for anyone who gets motion sickness on long car rides, plane rides, or really any vehicle that moves. It applies acupressure to each wrist and helps relive nausea and vomiting so that you can finally enjoy your much-deserved vacay.

    Promising review: "I followed the instructions and placed it about three fingers' width below my palm, and it works! For this price I cannot believe I waited this long. It's a plus that it is decent looking and can be part of your outfit. I get pretty bad motion sickness, especially on boats and planes. Sometimes I would even forgo vacations because I don't want to deal with the nausea on the plane. This past vacation, I was going on a 20+ hour flight AND a boat tour. I was realllyyyy dreading it. BUT! This time I had these magical wrist bands. I wore it for the whole flight and the whole boat tour. I wore it on these bumpy car rides up and down the mountains. The boat even idled on the water for like an hour for the sun to set. I felt ....fine?? I was AMAZED. I feel like I can live!! My family can benefit from more vacations now!" —tangomo

    37. A wireless charging pad — just place your phone down to get a quick charge session in. And since it only stays charging as long as it's on the pad, it conveniently forces you to stay off of TikTok so that you can actually focus on your to-dos for the day.

    This charger pad also works for wireless earbuds!

    Promising review: "Was looking for a wireless charging base that could connect via a USB cord, allowing for charging in the car and other locations where I didn't necessarily have a standard wall plug. The fast charging works well, and the led light is not too bright (an issue with other chargers I have had). Overall very satisfied." —David Haas

    38. A six-outlet wall charger, which comes with two USB fast-charging ports and a night light so that the charging station in every room of your home is nice and organized. It's just the thing you need for larger chargers that take up too much space!

    Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! At just $15 for four organizers I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. 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. Blackwell

    Promising review: "These sticky notes are excellent. They come in a booklet, with a clear cover over and a card-like paper with a blue mandala pattern at the back, which is really neat and beautiful. The colors are quite neon and bright and look exactly as the picture shows. The tabs are neat and noticeable at any angle, and are 2.4 cm or about 0.8 inches in length. The paper note itself is 14.8 cm or 5.8 inches in length. They came in neatly and safely packaged, with no dirt or paper creasing in sight. To me, every student or teacher in high school or college should own these. They're extremely useful for taking down important notes, lesson/project/essay/test/other planning, and generally placing important information down on a note that won't misplace itself in your planner or notebook." —malik

    41. A collapsible car trunk organizer to help keep all your "just in case" thingamabobs nice and organized, instead of letting them bump and thud in your trunk as you rush to work blasting T-Swift. Use it to store many things like water bottles, umbrellas, and extra oil in case your car is running low. (That reminds me, I should go check on that. 🏃‍♀️)

    Promising review: "It was just what I needed for my messy and unorganized truck! I wanted something not too bulky, but just the right size to help me reorganize my trunk. This product did that for me. I was also concerned that it’ll move when I drove but luckily there is Velcro on the bottom that secures it in place while you drive, and sure enough it did just that! This product does not take up a lot of space and gives you the right amount of measure to place other things like groceries and a suitcase. I am completely satisfied and content with this product! I wish I had it all along!" —Sheneese

    Get it from Amazon for $10.93.

    42. A purse organizer insert — Mary Poppins could've used this. Easily slide it into any bag, whether it's from Prada or Amazon, and it'll give you instant pockets to help you organize your life. And bonus! When it's time to switch out your purse, all you have to do is slide the organizer out and pop it in with all your stuff ready to go.

    Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that).

    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.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors).

    43. A stackable cabinet organizer that'll help any pantry or cabinet in need of some serious organization. And yes, I'm giving the side eye to that growing "Been There" mug collection from Starbucks. 👀

    Promising review: "Let me start by saying that I’m not one to post a review about anything. I just ordered two sets of these and they transformed my pantry in the blink of an eye! They are high enough to accommodate my short basket full of half baggies of noodles and grains, and durable enough to hold any assortment of vinegars and home can goods. I ordered two sets (four shelves) and plan on buying more for the rest of my sloppy kitchen." —V
