1. Arm & Hammer Deodorizer Odor Busterz you can keep in the bottom of your garbage can to fight off even the stinkiest of smells — there's nothing worse than opening your kitchen garbage after throwing out broccoli the night before. 🤢
I have a similar item in the bottom of my baby's diaper pail and it really does make a difference! Reviewers also note it's been a great addition to their laundry baskets as well.
Promising review: "We consistently take out the garbage from our diaper pail, and even though the odor is sealed into the pail sometimes there can be a lingering odor when you go to change the bag. I decided to pop two of these in the pail underneath the plastic bag to see if it would help combat the smell and it’s like magic. We haven’t noticed any scent so far and they last a long time, more than three months of odor control! (We have a 3.5-month-old.) Definitely will be throwing one of these into my husband's tennis bag!" —Maddie Vasiliev

2. A standing weeder (without the chemicals!) for anyone with a bad back who still wants an award-worthy lawn.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy. Added bonus? Grampa's Weeder is a small business!
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG
Get it on Amazon for $39.99.
3. A travel pill organizer you'll wonder how you've lived this long without — it's moisture-proof, has eight compartments, and is made of cereal fiber and food grade plastic. You can totally use this *all* the time, not just when you're jet setting.
Promising review: "I love these! I have pretty severe ADHD, and I am constantly forgetting my meds when camping or hiking or just generally leaving the house for extended periods of time. These make it so much easier for me to just squirrel away in my backpack and be so pleased when I find them again. The labels are great, they are durable, and I'm no longer finding stray pills of unknown origin in the bottom of my bag. Highly recommend" —Eliza

4. Laundry soap sheets that'll take up *so* little space in your carry on bag you might need to set yourself a reminder in your phone to remember you packed them!
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly was impressed by these:
"I travel just about any chance that I get and found a WHOLE lot of success with these little laundry sheets on an almost-three-weeks European vacation last summer where I carried on only and rewore outfits several times."
Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather. With these laundry soap sheets, I was able to wash my clothes in the sink — letting me pack just the right amount of clothes for all the different places I went." —Katie Fujarski
Get it from Amazon for $9.02.
5. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes, so even if you are quite lacking in the green thumb area, you won't have to fret about killing your plants. Stick some of these bad boys in the soil and watch your leafy friends thrive.
Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season. Check out BuzzFeed's full Miracle-Gro plant food spikes write-up.
Promising review: "I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." —victoria

6. A "Shower Cat" that'll attach to the shower wall and provide you with an appropriate place to stash all the hair that comes out in your hands mid-hair wash. Don't think twice about this one — order it right meow.
Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.
Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok, and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment, and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great, but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them, and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
7. A floral corset top you'll start planning outfits around before it even arrives on your doorstep — it's giving Bridgerton but for summer 2023.
Psst — reviewers recommend sizing down if you're between sizes.
Check out a TikTok of the floral corset top in action.
Promising review: "This top is so cute and I got lots of compliments on it. High quality material and zipper in the back. Great purchase!" —Connie L. Brasil
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes 0–14 and eight styles).
8. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because, if we’re being honest (and I like to think we’ve reached a point in our relationship where we can be blunt), the ones you’ve been sleeping on are starting to resemble Flat Stanley. It’s time for you to upgrade your sleeping situation, friend!
Promising review: "I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" —T. Rune
Get a set of two from Amazon for $61.37+ (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing).
9. A Scumbug you can count on to work harder than anyone else you've ever met — it'll soak up all the oils, sunscreen, and whatever other unknown substances that are likely floating around in your pool's water. When it noticeably changes color wring it out, rinse it, and toss it right back into the pool.
Promising review: "Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. Popped it into my hot tub and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better, but smells better too! Highly recommended!" —Mickey D.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99.
10. An exfoliating foot peel mask that'll make you feel like a snake shedding their skin — it'll be grossly satisfying to watch the progress and the results will be mindblowing!
Promising review: "These foot masks work as stated. You wear the masks (bags, basically) for about an hour. A week or so later, your feet will peel so much they look like zombie feet! Both my daughter and I have used these, so it's not just me. I will say that, depending on the condition of your feet, one application may not be enough. One application did improve my feet about 50%, but I plan to use the masks once a month until the three-pack is gone. That should greatly improve my feet by sandal season! I will definitely purchase again, as needed." —Trisha
Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in three styles).
11. An insulated tumbler cup to encourage you to *actually attempt* to stay hydrated throughout the day — and look cute while you do it.
BuzzFeed editor Sally Elshorafa loves this cup: "I am normally a very hydrated person, but when I was pregnant I took it to another level. I was always thirsty, and especially for really cold water. This tumbler kept my water cold for more than 12 hours each day, like literally the ice would not melt if I kept the lid sealed. I still use this tumbler every day, and I gave birth over six months ago! It's a keeper."
Promising review: "I have only used this for ice water so far and it's AWESOME. I'm pregnant and this has helped me stay hydrated because I like my water very cold and this keeps my drink icy for hours. My favorite is when I wake up super thirsty in the morning and reach over to sip from this cup and the ice is still in tact and the water is nice and cold. Very impressed with the quality, and the color is very cute. I've already gotten lots of compliments on it." —mcs930
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six sizes and 40 colors and patterns).
12. Angry Orange pet odor eliminator for anyone with an adorable furry friend who is still learning how to control their bladder — this will help banish evidence of accidents (and the lingering smell that goes along with it).
Promising review: "This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a bichon pup and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and use to tell my wife, 'with all the science and technology in the world we still can’t come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell and now after use we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." —clayton s tonkin
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
13. A crinkled "paper bag" vase that'll make you want to buy yourself flowers a la Miley Cyrus — it'll incorporate so beautifully with all of the decor you already own and love.
Check out a TikTok of the paper bag vase in action.
Psst — you can snag that bubble candle in the pic here!
Promising review: "This vase was a lot cuter than I expected. Has good weight to it, and looks exactly like a crinkled bag. Packaged and shipped super securely, a great buy." —Vivian
Get it from Amazon for $39.89.
14. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E that'll leave your skin feeling softer than ever!
Promising review: "I took a chance and splurged a bit on this and I am HOOKED. LOVE it. It smells amazing, and a little goes a long way. I use it only on my neck, arms, and chest and have already noticed a difference in the elasticity of my skin. It also really gives my skin a nice glow when I am tan. Totally recommend it, and I will replenish when mine is gone. The jar is huge and will probably last several months. When you spend $10+ on body lotion per month, the $45 for this cream is well worth it." —Ellie6613
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes).
15. Affresh cleaning tablets you can toss into your dishwasher and easily get rid of that yucky smell that seems to appear after a few washes — it'll banish lime and mineral build-up and leave your dishes nice 'n' clean.
I have these tablets and use them all the time! They work especially great after the bottom of my dishwasher has gotten stained with residue from detergent or rusty-looking liquid after I've run my baking sheets through the wash. I love knowing I can just pop one into the dishwasher 1, 2, 3, and end up with a clean machine.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
16. Tarte Blush Tape Liquid Blush that'll impress you from the first moment you apply it to your cheeks — it blends so beautifully and a little goes such a long way that you'll get your money's worth out of it, no question.
I've always used a liquid blush from another brand (I'm a big fan of it because it feels easier to control to me than a powdered option) but this one from Tarte has quickly become my top favorite option. I love that it's in a squeezable tube with a soft sponge tip — I don't have to get my fingers messy and I don't accidentally squirt out WAY too much product (thus wasting it!). I give the tube the tiniest of squeezes, dab it across my cheek bones, then blend it in with a soft makeup brush. I've gotten tons of compliments since I've started using it and it doesn't budge! I'm a hugeeeeee fan of this product.
Get it from Ulta for $35 (available in two shades).
17. Bananagrams – it'll *lit*erally bring a smile to any bookworm's face — it combines all the fun of crossword puzzles and Scrabble for a fast-paced game anyone who loves words will appreciate.
Promising review: "Definitely a lot of fun! Got this for a friend after having bought two previous versions for us and for some cousins. Everybody loves playing it and end up spending hours at a time! Helps you learn new words and while not exactly Scrabble, knowing a bunch of two letter words comes in handy when you're trying to win!" —Minion
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

18. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch, the sequel to 2017's Breath of the Wild (which is arguably one of the most beautiful games of all time, IMO). It's an absolute must-have for anyone who likes to unwind after the chaos of the day is done with an open-world adventure.
My colleague Jenae says it best: "Tears of the Kingdom, for those unaware, is the direct sequel to 2017's mega hit Breath of the Wild, and it's easily the most anticipated Nintendo Switch game this year, maybe even the past *several* years. Though story details are somewhat slim, we know that Link will take to the skies and explore the mysterious islands floating *above* Hyrule as well as return to the sprawling landscapes below, with a host of new abilities to wield for puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat. I got the chance to play over an hour of Tears of the Kingdom at a recent Nintendo event, and it's gotten me seriously pumped for this latest Zelda adventure. Graphics- and gameplay-wise, it very much feels like Breath of the Wild, but with more freedom than ever before to manipulate the environment and get creative with how you approach, well, pretty much anything. I know I'll be diving in on release day (May 12!) and will probably lose over 100 hours of my life to TOTK like I did with BOTW, and if you love Zelda, open-world games, and (TBH) cozy vibes, it might just be the *best* way to treat yourself.
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available physically or as a digital code, which can be redeemed on the Nintendo eShop). It's playable on any Nintendo Switch console, including Switch OLED and Switch Lite.
Psst — if you've been itching to get a new console lately or upgrade your current Switch model, Nintendo just released a *gorgeous* special edition of the OLED model for Tears of the Kingdom, available for $359.99!
19. A gingham puff-sleeve dress made of a suuuuper light material so you'll have no issue wearing it throughout spring and summer — and who doesn't love a dress that works for multiple seasons???
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly couldn't help but rave about this dress:
"I brought this dress along on vacation and it even passed The Vatican dress code! I knew I had to have it after my colleague Emma Lord bought and reviewed it (#4 here). This super lightweight nap dress is unlined, but NOT see-through...even in daylight. It was so comfy for gallivanting around and long enough for me to sit on a random step on a bridge to take a rest and give my old dogs a rest. It made for a dramatic, but not TOO dramatic, look in photos I'll cherish forever. And it kept me cool in what turned out to be some hotter weather than what I anticipated. If you're looking for a way to wear something nightgown-adjacent in public but still look quite put-together, this dress is for you."
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–XL and nine colors).
20. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker you can use to pretend you're Cinderella's Fairy Godmother to turn frozen fruit into a magically delicious dessert. Reviewers swear it has the texture of ice cream or sorbet. Yuuuum!
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in five colors).
21. Bio-Oil, which reviewers swear by for helping to diminish scars and stretch marks while *also* moisturizing their sensitive skin. It's filled with rosemary oil, lavender oil, chamomile oil, vitamin A, vitamin E, and PurCellin oil to help keep your skin feeling (and looking!) great.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord was super impressed by this product, she said:
"FWIW re: scars, though, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago, and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."
Promising review: "I had to have a freckle excised to check for cancer. The wound was very deep and left a scar (the one in the center). The other two scars are actually from the bandages I used to cover the wound. The scar made me self conscious, and I found this online with great reviews. I will say that if I had used it every single day, I think the scar would be completely gone. However, even with using it maybe three or four times a week, the results are amazing! I am very happy with this product. The scent is lovely and light, and I love the consistency. Highly recommend!!" —Alexis Melendez
Get it from Amazon for $11.12.
22. A pack of reusable toaster bags that'll ensure you can make a delicious grilled cheese at any time of day without having to crank up the stove and break out a pan. Less mess, more time to devour cheesy goodness.
These reusable bags are good for 50 to 100 washes and can hold pizza, chicken nuggets, and pastries. Plus they help prevent contamination if someone in the house can't eat gluten.
Promising review: "Who can say no to a mess-free toasted panini in under four minutes? Or frozen chicken nuggets or fish sticks... The sky is the limit with what you can fit into each of these toaster-safe bags. This is a late-night grilled cheese made in two minutes from heaven!!!" —Corey Guy Tremblay
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99.
23. An easy-to-use ice cream scoop with a curved shape only a genius could've designed that'll smoothly cut through ice cream and create a picture-perfect scoop time and time again.
Promising review: "I think I just found the best ice cream scoop ever! I was very surprised when I took it out of the box because it has some weight to it, so I knew right away that it would not break easily. It scoops ice cream beautifully and is dishwasher safe. I am so glad TikTok made me buy this!" —MamaKickAsh
Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 13 colors and a two-pack).
24. A reusable cotton swab for anyone who hates pesky ear wax but not as much as they hate wasteful single-use cotton swabs. This one can be easily cleaned with soap and water and comes in a travel case.
Promising review: "OK I admit it's not soft and plushy, but it cleans perfectly and you’re producing less trash considering I use one and so does my whole family daily!!!" —Jannette N. Joly
Get it from Amazon for $10.15+ (available in six colors and in a set of three).
25. A set of genius soda can covers that'll bring some longevity to your favorite beverage — now you won't *have* to chug the whole thing in one sitting if you were only craving a few sips.
Promising review: "Very solid product. It does exactly what it claims to do. It easily snaps on to any can I have, then opens and closes shut again for storage in my fridge. As you can see in my pictures, it’s leakproof when closed. I think it will be a great addition to my kitchen." —w_starling
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.55.
26. A retro-ish fringe umbrella to provide you with shade and the perfect background for your BeReal (if they ever play nice and sound out the notification when you actually look good/are doing something photo-worthy).
Beach State is a small business specializing in premium, high quality beach umbrellas.
Check out a TikTok of the umbrella in action.
Promising review: "This umbrella is exactly what my family was looking for as our everyday beach umbrella — large diameter, high quality, and cute retro design. It is a higher end umbrella but still slightly less expensive than the other big name designer beach gear company that we were considering. It is easy to pop up and stays standing, and we’ve had many compliments from other people at the beach asking where we got it. The customer service from the company was excellent. Would definitely recommend these umbrellas!" —Taryn
Get it from Amazon for $165 (available in seven colors).
27. Burt's Bees After Sun Soother lotion, because summer is coming and so are the sun's harsh rays! This lotion is packed with aloe and coconut oil to help your skin feel cooler after a day of outdoor adventures.
It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS.
Promising review: "I bought this before I went on a cruise. We stayed in a hotel for a few days prior and I got a little toasty by the sun. Used this and it helped drown down the burn feeling and helped heal my skin within days. By the cruise I was fine with no pains from the burn. Continued to use it daily while on vacation. Works like charm. Love it! Smells great too! Its not a loud smell or anything. Would totally recommend and buy again!" —Victoria Ramsey
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
28. A tote organizer insert that'll help you get your beloved oversized tote in check once and for all — it comes with an array of compartment sizes so whether you're trying to organize coupons or keep your hand sanitizer separate from your snack, you'll be good to go.
Promising review: "This thing is great! I have a large bag I use as a carry-on when I fly by plane. Unfortunately, it has very few pockets and is just like a bottomless pit. This fit in perfectly. I was able to organize all of my items quite well. They were easy to retrieve in flight and in the airport. I didn't use the zipper compartment at all but did put that piece in to use it as a divider. It is well-made and sturdy. Be sure to measure your inner bag space first!" —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $15.88+ (available in six sizes and 23 colors).
29. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — if it could talk it would say "tip me over and pour me ouuuut" like the little teapot rhyme. But really, tip it over like you would an hourglass and grab pickles, olives (or anything else that lives in a liquid) without having to dip your fingers into juice.
Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (also available with add-ons).
30. FryAway — a seemingly magical substance you can sprinkle on top of your grease-coated pan and watch as it turns to a solid. No more waiting ages for it to cool, having to grossly scrape it out of your pan with a paper towel, or accidentally clogging your pipes.
Promising review: "This magic powder worked so much better than I expected! I was doing some deep frying in my enamel cast iron pot one night, and when I was done, I poured the powder in the hot oil just as instructed. The stuff dissolved right away and I gave it a quick mix. I ended up putting the lid on and forgetting about it overnight. The next morning it was a solid gel mass. I was expecting it to be the consistency of Jello, but it was actually surprisingly firm! I took a spatula and barely applied pressure to one side to loosen it and the whole entire thing separated in one clean piece without any stray chunks of oil sticking to the pot. Couldn't have been easier! I have always avoided frying like the plague for the sole reason that I don't know what to do with the oil afterwards. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore!" —Sahara
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
31. A mini belt bag you can wear across your body like a lil' fashionista when you go to brunch or around your waist more practically when you're out on a hike. Reviewers love that it's similar to the cult favorite Lululemon belt bag.😉
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly (seen above, right) used this on a five-day trip to Iceland (it was the only bag she packed!) and loves it:
"I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors."
Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (available in 30 styles).
32. An eyelash separator that'll remove all the clumps and lumps caused by your mascara and transform your lashes into ones worthy of a close-up glamour shot.
33. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers to place directly over your drain and toss in the trash when you're done with it — you won't have to to think about all the gunk and germs that might linger on a more permanent hair catcher.
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and bought them when I was visiting family. Tried them out and left a few behind for family and sent a few home with family — everyone is now ordering them and using them. They work great. Each one is on its own plastic shield. Just peel off and center onto your floor drain. I leave mine on for two to three weeks. I'm the only one using my shower, but if it's a shared shower probably wouldn't last that long. It's still a great way to catch hair before going down the drain, because we all know, people say they use the traps but they really don't. A must-have!!" —C. Crocker
Get a pack of 25 for $11.99 (also available in packs of 50 and and 100).
34. A travel crib and play yard that's double the size of standard ones (!!!) and will provide your kiddo with plenty of space to grow into — a fabulous option to keep at the grandparents'.
I recently received this for my son (who recently turned 1) and can't wait for him to test it out the next time we visit my parents. The regular pack and play we had for him there is definitely a bit too small for him to sleep in, but I feel confident that this one will be the right fit. It features the same mattress that he has in the crib (we adore the Newton breathable mattress). When we're not visiting, my parents can easily fold it up into a travel bag and stow it away.
Get it from Newton for $299.99+ (also available with a bassinet insert).
35. A special edition Xbox controller inspired by summertime, so when it's far too hot to go soak up the sun you can play your favorite video game alongside your air conditioner instead.
This controller is so gorgeous I know I won't be able to stop myself from ordering it. Even if you don't have an Xbox, this wireless controller can be paired with Windows PCs and Android devices. An added bonus? There's a corresponding nail polish set from OPI you can *also* treat yourself to so your mani can match your controller!
Get it from Xbox for $69.99.
36. A rapid mac 'n' cheese cooker that'll be the first thing you reach for after a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day — this baby will ensure you get to gobble down your go-to comfort food without having to wait eons for water to boil.
Check out a TikTok of the rapid mac cooker in action.
Rapid Brands is a California-based small business that specializes in dishwasher-safe, microwaveable, BPA-free kitchen products.
PS — people also use this to rapid cook their ramen!
Promising review: "I owned one of these a few years back and decided to buy one again for my husband to try. (He's an avid ramen eater.) He was definitely skeptical at first but now it's his favorite kitchen item! 😂 I highly suggest this to anyone who wants noodles done fast! It does its job and the container stays cool enough to not hurt you when removed from the microwave. Every kitchen should have one of these for lazy days!" —Parker Rease
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors and a two-pack).
37. An Icebreaker gadget to ensure you'll always have fresh ice at your finger tips — simply fill it, pop it into the freezer, use the handles to crack the ice (once it has frozen, obvs) then pour the cubes directly into your drink! It's leakproof and dishwasher safe.
Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business established in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self-contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!) seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp

38. And a surprisingly chic chicken coop complete with live streaming, remote monitoring, smart event recording, and a smart coop door (it opens with the sunrise and closes with the sunset) in addition to its *necessary* features like 28 square feet of floor space, two nesting areas, 60 inches of roosting space, upper and lower ventilation, and heavy-duty steel to keep predators out.
This chicken coop is nicer than my first apartment! It can accommodate four to six chickens and is genuinely *not* an eyesore. So, if you're thinking about becoming a proud chicken owner but don't want to compromise the look of your yard, this may be the perfect product for you! Coop is a small business based in Texas with a goal of making backyard farming better. 🐓
