1. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time.
After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning.
Promising review: "Honestly I was very skeptical when I first purchased. Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of band wagon. Of course I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard bristle tooth brush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral build up, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Over all very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa

2. A veggie chopper you can use to dice onions in a flash — save your uncontrollable crying for the next time you watch The Notebook. It can also spiralize, slice, and chop!
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
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 which 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 $24.99+ (available in three colors).
3. A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's hair.
Promising reviews: "The ChomChom Roller really works. I have two German shepherds who shed SO much, so this was necessary. The ChomChom Roller picked up SO much fur the vacuum couldn’t." —Ezra Gordon
"I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." —Meowser
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
4. A Whiskware pancake batter mixer to make whipping up breakfast the easiest part of your day — break this out and impress any morning guests with your simple-but-delicious pancake-making skillzzzzz.
When making pancakes, just pour all the ingredients directly into the bottle, shake it up, and then squeeze the batter directly onto your pan or griddle. It couldn't be easier!
Promising review: "This is the best breakfast invention after the waffle maker. LOVE IT! As someone who makes pancakes or waffles three to four times a week (my kids are pretty spoiled, but breakfast is key to getting through the first part of the school day), this is the easiest and fastest way to get that done. I just add everything to the bottle, shake, and pour into the waffle maker or griddle. When I am done, just add some water, shake again, empty, and then place everything in the dishwasher." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
5. A blackhead scrub stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!"
See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping's TikTok!
Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
6. A mug warmer to keep on your nightstand so you can continue to sip on hot tea even if you completely forgot about it while getting a bit *too* invested in the bread week episode of The Great British Baking Show.
BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes can confirm this gadget is worth the money:
"After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good, but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long (because yes, I'm one of those people that'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!). I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for using with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concaved-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person."
Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy
Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in six colors).
7. A too-cute wireless portable charger that'll likely be praised as your savior on more than one occasion if your phone just always happens to be dead when you need it most.
Check out a TikTok of the portable charger in action.
Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble
Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in six colors).
8. A rechargeable lighter, so you can light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambience without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid.
I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! I'll never have to buy another lighter again. My first charge lasted me seven months!
Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super-minor annoyance. It's a super-intuitive device. Plus the lighter with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" —Jee W.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).
9. A vertical pan handle attachment that'll make it easier than ever to lift that adorable cast-iron skillet you just HAD to have in a fun color to match the rest of your kitchen.
This helpful gadget will add leverage so you can keep your wrist in a neutral position. It's great for anyone with arthritis or overall hand/wrist pain. You *also* won't need to use an oven mitt since the handle will protect you from heat! It's safe for up to 350 degrees — so please don't use this inside your oven.
Promising review: "This is awesome. I’m elderly and love to cook. This is a new lease on life for me in the kitchen. I even bought one for my girlfriend, and she loves it as well!" —CARLTON FITCHLEY
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).
10. A Crack'em egg cracker and spoon rest to ensure your scrambled delights will be shell-free every single time — and how cool will you look cracking eggs open single handedly???
Crack'em is a veteran-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in family-friendly kitchen accessories.
Check out a TikTok of the egg cracker in action.
Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in nine colors).
11. A TikTok Bluetooth scrolling remote that'll take your laziness trait to the next level but leave you feeling smug at the same time for working smarter not harder. You can set this bad boy up then get under your covers and enjoy some seriously cozy scrolling, hands-free.
You can also use the remote to take selfies on your phone from afar!
Check out a TikTok of the remote in action!
Promising review: "I love this for scrolling through TikTok videos on my phone while I'm in bed. It is comfortable to wear. I use it with a mounted phone holder, so it's completely hands free! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who spends hours scrolling on TikTok like I do!" —Shawn P.
Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in three colors).
12. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (apologies) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man.
Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in white and black).
13. An automatic cleaning toilet bowl cartridge to pop into the top of your tank — it'll last up to three months and clean with every single flush. Now that's a cleaning product worth testing out.
Promising review: "This works absolutely phenomenal. I would clean the bowl area every weekend like clock work to remove mold or something…Our municipal water system may not inject enough chlorine to prohibit? But toilet cleaning is a breeze now!!! Works on the Koehler new low flush systems…amazing. No chlorine damage to rubber parts either like other devices! Pretty simple instructions to install." —CdrW
Get it from Amazon for $10.77 (and you can snag refill cartridges here).
14. A humidifier tank-cleaning fish you'll cherish as much as Ariel (the Little Mermaid) does her BFF Flounder — it'll kill up to 99% of odor causing bacteria so you can continue to keep your room nice and moist all winter long.
Promising review: "These things are AMAZING! I went from having to Clorox my ultrasonic humidifier tank every few days to every month, if that. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to not have to worry about it! I feel like they work quite a bit longer than advertised, but that may depend on water temp, if the water is distilled (this is what we use, as our water is REALLY hard otherwise) vs filtered vs not, etc. Will definitely buy again!" —CindyR
Get it from Amazon for $5.28.
15. Scrunchies with a hidden compartment inside that'll store your essentials while you're on-the-go. Pop things like your keys, bobby pins, lipstick, etc inside and say farewell to the heavy tote you've been reluctantly throwing over your shoulder.
Promising review: "I bought this because of someone on TikTok who had purchased this. Extremely convenient and cute! They’re very soft, and I’ve been using mine to hold cash and lip balm. I wish there were more colors!" —Michaela
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three color combinations).
16. A spaghetti measure, so you'll always have the perfect spaghetti-to-meatball ratio. You won't need to share your meal a la Lady and the Tramp if you don't want to. 😉
Clever Contraptions is a woman-owned small business based in Oregon that sells 3D-printed home decor.
Get it from Clever Contraptions on Etsy for $5.
17. Wad-Free, which attaches to the corners of your sheets to help them dry faster, without wrinkles, and prevent them from turning into a hungry monster that swallows up your socks for all of eternity.
Plus, they're BPA-free, reusable, and created by a small business during the pandemic.
Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.
18. An extra-large car cup holder that'll transform your car's too-tiny cup holder into into one that'll properly support your oversized emotional support water bottle. You're welcome.
Promising review: "I saw one of these on TikTok and I gasped!! I carry my Yeti with me everywhere, so usually it just sits in my passenger seat. But this is perfect so it doesn’t fly around in the seat. This fit in my Chevy Equinox perfectly. So far so good." —J
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in two colors).
19. A mini vacuum cleaner you won't be able to help but squeal with delight over. (It's kinda cute for a cleaning product, isn't it?) You can use it to clean your table after you've messily eaten a croissant for breakfast or suck up the unruly coffee grinds that inevitably wind up all over your countertops.
I have one of these little gadgets and it's fantastic! I use it to clean up rogue crumbs off of my table cloth at the end of the day or after a particularly crumb-filled meal. My husband uses it to clean coffee particles off of our counters where he grinds his espresso beans. It's a handy lil' thing and so easy to use.
Promising review: "If your child is hard on their pencil eraser, then this is perfect for you!!! Every day my daughter’s desk is covered with eraser scrapes, pencil lead etc. I saw this on TikTok and got her this as a joke but it ended up being amazing. With a swipe across her desk, it’s all gone and I don’t have to clean it up." —TrendyInIndy
Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in two colors and four styles).
20. A dishwasher magnet starring Experiment 626 (Stitch, if you're somehow not familiar) to let anyone who enters your kitchen know the status of your dishes before they choose to toss one in.
Promising review: "My daughter LOVES Stitch. So I got this double sided magnet! It has a strong magnet. They also send with it an extra magnet with a sticky side, incase your dishwasher isn't magnetic! AWESOME PRODUCT!" —Misi Prentice
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
21. Baby Brezza finger shields, because no one wants to put their bare finger into diaper rash cream. Keep your nails and digits nice 'n' clean while ensuring your baby's booty gets proper attention.
These are great for parents who find themselves doing a lot of diaper changes on-the-go! While one of those rubber butt spatulas can be great, you absolutely have to clean them after each use (not so easy when you're not home!). These wipes are the perfect solution, IMO.
Promising review: "LOVE these!! Never really thought much about the bothersome applying of diaper cream with my finger (I've tried all the other items out there...bum spatula, finger cot...etc.) but then I was gifted these and now I'm never going back! So easy to use, perfect for on the go, soft on baby's bottom, and keeps your finger clean! No more lingering diaper cream smell even after washing." —Alyssa
Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $6.99.
22. A battery-operated vibrating mattress pad to help lull fussy babies to sleep without having to be physically rocked — a win for you both.
Promising reviews: "Ummmm this thing is MAGIC! My 2-month-old was able to sleep through the night in her Rock 'n' Play but did NOT like her crib for some reason. So I got this just to see if it would work. And oh did it work! I put it under her crib mattress and not only did she NOT cry when I left the room, but she fell asleep in five minutes. No paci either!" —Lauren
"This is honestly one of our most-used baby items. We keep it in the car seat but also use it when traveling to soothe baby to rest. People are always asking what it is and I gladly show them and recommend it. It gets daily use at our house." —J. Behnke
Get it from Amazon for $28.75.
23. A Beast countertop blender that'll look gorgeous atop your kitchen counter but *also* become a treasured gadget by your entire family — it's designed to reduce vibrations and noise so anyone can make a smoothie whenever the mood strikes without worrying about disturbing everyone else.
This made Oprah's Favorite Things 2021 list! And my coworker Maitland Quitmeyer swears by it too. Check out her full Beast blender review for more deets!
Promising review: “There are so many things to love about this blender! Its sleek design, quiet motor, and overall look makes you proud to place it on your kitchen countertop. The most impressive part of the Beast is its blending power. The one-minute interval program is the perfect length of time to ensure all of your ingredients are fully blended — no need to shake the bottle or re-blend multiple times!” —Allison K.
Get it from Amazon for $165.
24. An adjustable phone stand you'll appreciate for its ability to hold your phone vertically or horizontally — catch up on some Netflix while scrolling the seemingly endless stack of emails in your inbox or FaceTime with your mom hands-free.
Promising reviews: "I love it. I use my phone for conference calls (wfh), and I don't know how I lived with out this. It's sturdy and keeps the cord out of the way. It's right there in my face so I can mute while on work calls or just see notifications at a glance. Highly recommend." —Cyndie L. Tozzo
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors).
25. A glass dry-erase desktop whiteboard to ensure you're never scrambling for note paper when you need to jot down an important memo or when mapping out a to-do list.
The whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, accessory channel (to hold the marker), and a storage drawer.
Promising review: "Saw this on TikTok and had to get it. I was using way too many Post-it Notes, and this is so much easier for quick notes! It works better when you have a desktop vs. a laptop (personally — I've used it for both), but it's still super helpful. I wish it came with more than one marker though."—Rachael McGovern
Get it from Amazon for $31.29+ (available in five styles).
26. A floating pasta timer named "Al Dente" (hehehe) you'll giggle about every time you break him out — toss him into your pot of boiling water when you add your pasta and wait for him to sing a little tune at 3, 7, 9, and 11 minutes. You'll have perfectly cooked pasta every single time. 🍝
The 3-minute song ("That's Amore") is great for angel hair, the 5-minute song ("Tarantella Napoletana") is great for spaghetti, the 7-minute song (the Godfather theme) is great for tagliatelle and more, and the 11-minute song ("Prisoner's Choir") is great for fusilli and more.
Promising review: "I loved Al so much, I sent one to each of my sisters. Not only is he whimsical, he’s fairly accurate. I’m making excuses to make pasta just so I can hear the tunes." —imlms
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
27. A single-handed tape dispenser, so easy to use it'll make you want to start wrapping all the little treats you've been buying yourself because you've "had a bad day" or "had a great day."
Push the lever to dispense a 1-inch piece, or hold it down to create a custom length of tape.
Promising review: "My last tape dispenser was awful. Threading the tape through the mechanism was a PITA. The gears and springs would fall out when you opened the damn thing. Eventually, the tape started to cling to the roller and would rip the paper I was trying to tape. This design is great; the tape self threads when you put it on the rubber bands, the tape stays on the inside of the device until you press the trigger to release it, the tape self cuts when you let go of the trigger. Everything can be done with one hand. Wonderful!" —Billster
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors).
28. An OPI nail-drying *spray* you'll swear was sent from manicure heaven — it'll dry your nails in 60 seconds. (That's only one-tenth the amount of time it takes to listen to Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" 10-minute version!!!)
Promising review: "I have tried everything to get my nails to dry when I paint them at home. I’ve tried top coats, water bath with ice, and time (lots of time) waiting patiently for my nails to dry. And after several hours my nail polish is ruined. Today I tried the OPI Rapid Dry spray and my nails dried super quickly! Going on two hours after painting my nails...did dishes and laundry. My nails are still dry and look amazing. I highly recommend this product! Thanks OPI!!!!!" —April C.
Get it from Amazon for $11.88.
29. A flexible power strip that'll swivel and twist to accommodate all of your plugs as needed. It has a 5-foot extension cord to help you make the most of even the tiniest of spaces.
iJoy is a small business that sells tech accessories, speakers, and headphones.
Promising reviews: "I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" —Pond P.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
30. A cord organizer you can count on to hide the tangle of wires that call the space under your desk "home." Definitely a great idea if you have pets or small children who often want to hangout around your feet while you work.
Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this as a solution for hiding our never-ending wires from two at-home work stations. I love the top which provides a safe and cute platform to easily charge your devices without having to leave them on the floor. I will be buying a second one." —Barbara Konchinski
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).
31. I Dew Care's overnight lip mask, because there's nothing worse than waking up with dried blood and a crack down the middle of your lip that seemingly appeared over night. This mask will soothe your pout with a blend of cocoa butter, hibiscus flower extract, and vitamins C and E.
Promising review (it's long but good!): "So I have super dry lips. Years of anxiety, picking at them, dry weather making them crack, fragile skin... nothing ever works. Literally nothing. You name a product or trick and I've tried it. Scrubs, balms, masks, lotions, potions, oils, whatever. I've tried it. It never. ever. works. Most of the time my lips feel MORE dry, which is astounding. I feel like my skin figures out what I'm trying to do and rearranges its molecules to resist the treatment I'm trying. I gave up for a long time, but I'm tired of not having those super pretty Instagram-worthy soft-looking lips. My dry haggard witch lips were making me sad and angry that I can't find anything that works. On a whim, I was browsing a random BuzzFeed listicle about good skincare products — and this product popped up. I read a comment and someone with a situation similar to mine who sung the praises of this stuff. Deflated and sad about myself, I decided 'Why not throw another few bucks at the problem. Worst case it stays the exact same, best case it actually gets better.' Holy ———. It got better. SO much better. This is the first time I've been able to use a product regularly when I feel my lips drying out and it ACTUALLY hydrates them. I put it on before bed and wake up excited to smooch my partner over and over again telling them 'FEEL MY LIPS, FEEL THEM'. It isn't goopy or thick, it doesn't feel like smearing Vaseline on my face, it doesn't make me break out around my lips. It isn't heavy or grainy, it's super light and doesn't feel like it's seeping into my skin. It doesn't take a lot and I can FEEL it actually working to moisturize and not just seal moisture — which I am already lacking — in. It isn't a coating, it feels like it actually absorbs into my lips. I never leave reviews, ever. But I also never had a product like this that actually works like it says it does with more efficacy than I ever expected. If you're like me or I sound like you, trust me. Try this. Just give it a shot and you will NOT be disappointed." —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $10.88.
32. An electric handwarmer you can count on to keep your digits toasty and keep your phone charged — and to think they say we *can't* have it all!
It heats up in seconds, and has three settings so you can customize your degree of toastiness.
Promising review: "Very small, but very hot. Don’t be fooled by my small hands, this hand warmer is about the size of a computer mouse BUT it gets very hot. Perfect for camping, sporting events, hunting, or, in my case, a chilly office. It’s small enough to easily fit in my purse so I can tote it with me when I need it. I am highly satisfied. It also arrived fast with my Prime free two-day shipping. 👍🏻👍🏻" —AO
Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in 10 styles).
33. A portable pack of soap sheets, because entering a public bathroom is grime-y enough without having to worry "will there be soap left in the dispenser???" These will melt away in your hands and ensure they'll be squeaky clean.
Promising review: "I’m thrilled to have purchased these! Amazing soap sheets. The scents are not overwhelming. I have sensitive skin and, does not irritate my skin. Hands feel soft, clean and smells great. My 6-year-old son loves these. With pretty much everything still closed down, due to COVID-19, we have been doing a lot more outdoor activities. It’s nice to have soap handy when in middle of hiking or biking and, need to wash hands before eating lunch. I would strongly recommend these soap sheets." —Ann
Get three packs of 100 sheets each from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in lemon, orange, lavender, a variety pack of the three scents, or unscented).
34. And a trio of Touchland x Smiley spray hand sanitizer that'll make banishing germs seem trendy! Everyone's gonna want a spritz once they see you pulling this handy-dandy sanitizer out of your bag.
I received this trio of hand sanitizers and am a big fan. The set comes with three scents: mango passion, citrus grove, and beach coco. They all smell divine, leave my hands feeling nourished (and clean!) and don't dry out my hands the way other more liquid-y sanitizers do. They're a must-have for my car, my diaper bag, and my purse.
Promising review: "The product is good and nongreasy, the smell is pleasant, it's not overpowering." —Jennifer Cicchetti
Get a set of three from Amazon for $30 (available in three scent packs).

It's microwave- and dishwasher-safe too.
Promising review: "We have used these for cereal but get the most use with Thai food. We put curry or soup in one side and another dish we don't want to get soggy in the other side" —Jannada
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors, plus multipacks).
36. Cactus-shaped dryer balls for anyone who is tired of buying dryer sheets — these prickly pals will ensure your laundry dries faster and gets softer with each wash.
Reviewers say they actually catch (human and pet) hair too!
Promising review: "These cute little waving saguaro cactus dryer balls are perfect. I’ve bought other dryer balls that dried and cracked after a month, these are over three month of heavy use and look as fresh as the day they were delivered on my doorstep. Great value and your clothes will dry faster as well as more efficiently because the saguaros tumble and separate your clothes for more efficiency. 🌵" —Christian B Staller
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).
37. A chic portable vacuum you can carry from room-to-room for an easy clean-up of all the crumbs your partner (or child) tracked across the house while chomping on a chocolate chip cookie and telling a juicy story at the same time.
It comes with an adjustable nozzle attachment, USB charging cable, and cover.
Promising review: "This little vac is amazing! Not only is it pretty and looks like a bladeless fan sitting in my bathroom instead of a vac, it really works! Has two speeds, and I haven’t had to use its high speed yet. Thinking of ordering another one in white. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in four colors).
38. A magnetic luggage tag that'll beautifully hold your hat to your suitcase so you don't have to awkwardly wear it before a super early morning flight or a night flight — and we all know it simply will not fit in your bag.
The Fileist is a Los Angeles-based, woman-owned small business from Lindsay Albanese. They create fashionable-yet-functional accessories designed to make your life just a bit easier.
Promising review: "Love! Love! Love it! Very sturdy grip, and fashionable! I have had skin cancer numerous times, including melanoma. This is a must-have to keep me safe and fashionable — vacation or otherwise. I have thrown it in the overhead on a plane or shuffled through crowded venues, prior to COVID-19, and never lost my hat. This is a great gift, first to myself, and now to others! Thank you for keeping me safe and on point at an affordable price!" —Emily K.
Get it from The Fileist for $55 (check out all hat holder styles here).
39. An aesthetically pleasing bottle scrub brush made of coconut fibers to help you *actually* thoroughly clean your water bottles and glassware until they sparkle and shine.
Just hang to dry between uses, and clean with vinegar when needed.

Promising review: "Great brush, cleaned out the stains in my travel coffee mug instantly! So nice for reaching small and hard-to-reach areas of cups, flower vases, etc." —Talia Head

40. And an AirFly Pro wireless transmitter that'll let you use your Bluetooth headphones to watch whatever *~movie of the month*~ is playing during your flight.
Promising review: "If you have a wireless earpiece and fly frequently, this is a must-have. Most newer planes have a monitor on the seat backs that enables you to watch movies, etc. This unit enables you to do it using your wireless earpiece. Connection is simple and automatic once you have initially paired your device or devices. It's convenient. I'm happy with the purchase." —JCE
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three models).
