1. A two-pack of mint-flavored, sensitive skin-friendly teeth-whitening pens you can easily brush on to remove those old coffee and tea stains you've accumulated — all without having to deal with sticky strips or awkward trays.
Just twist the bottom, and paint onto your teeth. Keep it on for 30 minutes before resuming your normal drinking and eating activities. Each pen has 20 uses, and you can see how much you've used through the handy transparent tube!
Promising review: "I have used so many products before and this is the best so far! I even got a whitening kit from my dentist which is supposed to be very effective but it only burned my gums and the whitening wasn’t as fast as this product. I bought this just because it was not expensive and had good reviews but didn’t have any hopes it would work because it was a lot more affordable than the Dr’s kit that cost me hundreds of dollars. It is very easy to use. It actually works even after first application. It doesn’t burn gums. It doesn’t make your teeth sensitive." —Melinda

2. A foot file for heels that require a lil extra TLC. Give yourself a spa day and watch as the dead skin and calluses turn into shredded cheese and your foot looks ~brand new~.
Promising review: "I'm not one to talk about my feet. I've had circulation problems for years that are just now resolving and that has lead to deep callouses on the heel of both feet. I bought this on a whim as I have tried other products in the past with no luck. Twenty minutes later I'm touching baby-smooth skin where there used to be deep cracks and rough broken skin. This thing is a miracle-worker and if I could rate it 10 stars I would." —Gully176

3. The ever-so-clever Battery Daddy so you can finally store away all of those loose batteries that seem to appear in every. single. drawer. you open. This bad boy will compile up to 180 batteries! That's a lot of batteries!
There's even a built-in battery tester so you'll know when to toss the ones that have been hanging out in your junk drawer for far too long.
Promising review: "If you have a bunch of batteries sitting in boxes, blister packs, or an open container, this will help you organize them and find them later. The case is big and provides a good AA-heavy storage setup. The included tester is a great addition, and let me know which ones to throw away or recharge instead of just storing them. It holds the batteries securely in place but still keeps them easy to extract." —Aphoid
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three styles).
4. A container of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste that'll clean practically anything. No really. Marks on the walls? Sure. Dirty stove? Obviously! Grimy bathtub? Duh. The Pink Stuff has your back.
This vegan paste will remove stains from stoves, kitchen floors, metal, ceramics, porcelain, marble, wood, silverware, jewelry, glass shower doors, fiberglass doors, glass stove tops, countertops, toilets, sinks, bathtubs, car wheels, stainless steel, and so much more! Whew!
Promising review: "Since moving into this apartment I have gradually come to hate this tub because of the water stains I have tried every product on the market including crazy things from the internet like Coca-Cola, vinegar you name it..this stuff with a couple of swipes/scrubs and a toothbrush for the textured areas completely cleaned my tub in a way that I can only tell you excited me to the core of my being. All I can tell you is buy it and I wish you the best!" —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in larger sizes).
5. A shower phone holder so you can continue binge-watching the new season of Stranger Things without distractions, like annoying showers. Ugh.
Yes, you can still use your phone when it's inside thanks to the .25mm flexible touchscreen! NOTE: if your phone has a Pop Socket, it probably will not fit inside.
Promising review: "This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great, and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" —Jackie Donovan
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four colors).
6. An ice cream pint cozy that'll make eating your favorite frozen dessert *that* much warmer. 🥶
I have been using this cover every time I whip out one of my ice cream pints and it had made it so much more enjoyable to consume! I love that my hands stay warm *and* dry and it also doesn't get condensation all over the couch or table when I place it down. They come in a bunch of cute colors, but I went with a neutral beige.

7. A Korean exfoliating mitt to scrub away any stubborn dead skin with the utmost ~ease~. You can rub it on your legs, feed, shoulders, and watch all those little flakes fall right off! Psst! This is also great to help remove self tanner!
Seraphic Skincare is a small business specializing on exfoliating products and tools that are natural, reusable, and affordable.
Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle Gill
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in a two-pack).
8. A dual-layered antimicrobial toothbrush with ultra thin bristles that will help get deep into the creases between your gums and teeth. It won't completely replace a floss, but it's pretty damn close!
Growing up, I was the absolute worst at flossing and brushing my teeth. It was so bad, I ended up developing periodontitis, which is inflammation of the gums caused by a build up of bacteria. It causes your gums to separate and recede from your teeth. It's pretty bad. Well, now I obviously go to the dentist regularly, but still struggle to floss my teeth at often as I should. These toothbrushes are such a game changer for me! The bristles at the tip are sooo tiny, I can literally feel them cleaning between my teeth. My gums get red easily if I don't floss enough, and ever since I started using this twice a day, they're no longer red! They look so healthy and I truly feel like I'm actually getting a good cleaning, compared to other manual toothbrushes. It's gentle enough for my sensitive gums, but gets in deep to prevent plaque. I'm obsessed!
Mouthwatchers is a small business that specializes in making antimicrobial toothbrushes for an ultra-clean feeling!
Promising review: "I was intrigued by this toothbrush, so I thought I’d order one. Wow, it really lived up to what it said. After just 2 days, using it four times, I was sold! I have been using an electric brush for probably 20 years. This toothbrush made my teeth feel cleaner. Weird right? A toothbrush is a toothbrush. Think again. It’s the combination of the two lengths of the bristles and the softness. I was so happy with how clean my teeth felt, I ordered two more brushes after the second day. I don’t want to be caught without it. My only advice is to not get carried away really scrubbing. I did, and it made my gums sore. Once I took easy, it’s been absolutely great. I will use my electric toothbrush some, but once it breaks, no more electric, then it will only be this toothbrush." —Skippy

9. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to help take care of those pesky razor bumps, burns, and annoying ingrown hairs.
10. Ridiculously effective sticky traps for snatching those pesky gnats and fruit flies that are terrorizing your plants *and* life.
11. A Saucemoto dip clip so you can enjoy the sweet, sticky, delicious nectar that is fast-food sauces with the freedom of dipping your fries without juggling two things at once. Psst! They were even seen on Shark Tank!
Promising review: "Do you struggle with coating your fries with ketchup while driving with your knee?? I did for years. I often spilled ketchup all over the front of me and never got the right ketchup to fry ration. NEVER AGAIN!!
This thing changed my life. I will never road-trip again with out this miracle of modern science. I can now dunk with one hand and drive with the other. I have probably saved countless lives. But wait, there’s more!!!!!! The little cup pops out to accept larger dips or for cleaning." —ADGun
Get set of two from Amazon for $10.95 (available in multiple packs and four colors).
12. A soap pump dispenser that is so fun to use, you might actually start *enjoying* washing the dishes. All you have to do is place the sponge on top and press down! Instantly your sponge will start to get all soaped-up!
13. A rose gold rechargeable electric lighter to replace those disposable matchsticks and old dinky lighter you've been using to light all of your candles. OK, it's me.
14. A shampoo scalp massager so you can get a deep, relaxing massage on your scalp without tiring your fingers *or* having to wait until your next salon appointment. BTW, a lot of reviewers mention this has also helped with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness!
Promising review: "I’ve suffered with dry, flaking scalp for about a year now (pretty much started when I was pregnant and hadn’t gone away). I have used tea tree oil shampoo, dandruff shampoo, coconut oil, you name it. I finally read somewhere that exfoliating the scalp might help, but I was hesitant because years ago, I had a shampoo brush and it was very rigid and the bristles were fine and close together and it made my hair a tangled mess. Anyway, I saw this shampoo brush and it looked a lot more flexible so I thought I’d give it a try and HOLY MOLY my flakes are gone! It’s made out of a silicone-type material and the little “bristles” are flexible but still get the job done. I can literally brush my hair with shampoo in and it doesn’t get tangled. It’s amazing. Not only do I have zero flakes now, I feel like using this does a way better job at working the shampoo in and getting your hair and scalp really clean." —Meg R.
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
15. A multi-plug outlet for when you only have one measly outlet in your little office corner, but have a ton of electronics you use daily.
Promising review: "I was constantly having to unplug something in my kitchen to make room for charging my iPhone or watch or using the slow cooker or any of the other half-dozen things I wanted to use at the most convenient spot in the house...the kitchen counter. My 140-year-old house has a distinct shortage of outlets in the kitchen, so this product looked like a good option. It exceeded my expectations and has made my electronic life much simpler. Features that I love other than the excellent number of outlet options it gives are that it screws into place (so it doesn’t pull out of the outlet when you try to unplug something), the versatility of having the USB ports, and the light feature that I appreciate a stupid amount. Yeah, the light switch is right next to it on the wall, but who wants to flip on a light just to plug something in? So basically the price was great, it arrived quickly, and it looks nice. I have a cordless phone plugged in, plus an Echo Show, my Apple Watch charger, my iPad, and an iPhone plugged in with outlets to spare. I’ll run out of counter space before I run out of outlets." —HappyCarnivore
Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two styles).
16. A fabric defuzzer so you can make your old furniture look brand new by removing all those unwanted fuzzies! Bonus: you can also do clothing!
Check out our write-up on this magical fabric defuzzer! The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included.
Promising review: "Okay, I don’t normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I’m depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Jensen
Get it from Amazon for $11.39+ (available in two styles and five colors).
17. A trash can that hooks to the gearshift so you don't have to take too much time picking up all the clutter you drop around the passenger seat floor — it'll all be in the bag!
18. Reusable silicone straws for guzzling down your favorite iced coffee with *sustainability* in mind. You know what makes these really cool though? Snap closures! This means you can open the straws in half to ensure you got all the gunk out! Just give 'em a good wipe down. No more "cleaning" brushes required.
19. An *egg-cellent* rapid egg cooker because we know very well how much you love your eggs, but is there anything more annoying than trying to boil eggs and get them exactly the way you want?
20. A bottle of Drop It that will remove the sulfate and tannin out of your favorite wine in just 20 seconds! Basically, you can enjoy your bottle of Chardonnay without worrying about the ~dreaded~ post-wine headache.
It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be ready to sip, sip hooray!
Promising review: "I became really sensitive to wine in my 30s and through a lot of trial and painful error, I thought I might have to give up on wine altogether. Then I found out about the preservatives being a possible cause and decided to give this product a shot. So glad I did!! I'm still pretty sensitive to reds but this helps tremendously so that I can have a glass with dinner without a headache immediately settling in. Whites cause me no problem what so ever! I love that it takes so little product to make a difference to a whole bottle. Just a few drops, a few minutes and we are good to go." —CastawayIrons
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
21. A universal jar opener because gone are the days of us rummaging through the utensil drawer trying to find the manual opener, and then having to succumb ourselves to hurting our wrists as we twist and turn the jar. This not only saves your poor hands, but also drawer space!
You can easily install it with peel-and-stick adhesive and the three included screws. It also works on things as small as nail polish and water bottles!
Promising review: "I've tried a million different tools and gadgets for help 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 reviewer who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the V closest to you and with it placed in the front, right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions and it works perfectly and easily. I've already placed an order for another one as a gift for my sister." —cat lover
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
22. A FURemover rubber broom that isn't *just* for those with shedding pets (but it works wonderfully for that!) — it's also great at pulling human hair out of the fibers in your rugs! We already know how much we shed, but you're about to be real surprised when you see the results. 👀
It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces.
Promising review: "This is the best broom ever. My parents own multiple and I just bought my first. It wasn't to clean up pet hair but to collect my own hair, as I shed uncontrollably. The hair ball that formed after sweeping my living room carpet would make you think I should be bald. It was gross but glorious. Everyone should own one." —Michelle K. Tulcan
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
23. A set of durable matte hair clips designed for all hair types — they are so comfy you'll want to wear one every day! I bought this set and my favorite thing to do is match the colors with whatever outfit I'm wearing.
Promising review: "I will admit I bought these from seeing them on TikTok and I needed new clips for my thick hair. I am not disappointed and beyond glad I got them. The colors are gorgeous and they stay put without hurting my head. I'm very impressed." —Jessica
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three color sets).
24. A container of Museum Gel that'll successfully foil your cat's plans of knocking over all of your beautiful decorative pieces in the living room. You basically apply the clear adhesive to the bottom of glass or crystal and it'll stay locked in place on any surface.
25. A pair of compression gloves designed to help alleviate the painful side effects of carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis, perfect for anyone who spends *waaay* too much time sitting at a desk typing. Spoiler alert: it's me.
Promising review: "These arthritis gloves saved me. After looking for solutions for almost a dozen of years, I can’t believe it took me this long to get these. I have been suffering from arthritis for almost 20 years now. The pain in the fingers and hands were the worst. They really impacted my day to day life more than anything else. I was becoming handicapped. It was horrible to become so dependent on others at such a young age. My daughter bought me a pair of ComfyBrace arthritis gloves as a gift. I was really skeptical. Well, you gotta believe it. I was so desperate that I was willing to try anything, and try it I did. It only took a few hours for the gloves to begin their magic. It has the perfect balance. The compression is great, but it’s not painful. I wouldn’t say it happened over night, but in a very short time I was doing things again that were very difficult for me a mere two days ago." —M. Sviridenko
Get a pair from Amazon for $19.97 (available in three sizes).
26. A facial applicator brush that'll make your nightly skincare routine *so* much easier and waaay less messier. This bad boy will help evenly spread the product without losing any of it between your fingers or under your nails.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these. I've been using them for months now and they make applying masks so much easier. I get a much more even application than I did with my hands or with other brushes. Extremely easy to use, clean, and store. Love love love!" —Caterina
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $4.85.
27. A jewelry-cleaning brush because you'd be surprised at how dingy your jewelry actually is. It's time to let your ring 🎵 shine bright like a (literal) diamond 🎵.
28. A set of light-up magnetic charging cables that let you install the magnetized part right into your charger, so then the magnetized *cord* will automatically start charging when it snaps into place. This is an excellent way to prevent your cords from inevitably breaking or fraying like they eventually do. Plus, it helps you safely charge your phone in your car! It's ALSO great for anyone who may have limited hand mobility or vision impairment and might not be able to connect chargers as easily.
Each pack comes with a 1-foot cord, a 3-foot cord, and two 6-foot cords. They even come with some magnetic tips designed to hit at a 90 degree angle, making it easier to charge phones being held horizontally and game controllers. Compatible with Apple products, Samsung phones, Kindles, and more!
Promising review: "Where have these been all my tech life? My kids and husband break Lightning (iPhone) chargers constantly! Great price for how many you get. We use them to charge iPhones, iPads, Kindles, and other micro-USB products. No more worrying about the cord breaking at the plug portion! The cord port glows a bright blue when it has power to it, so you might not want it in a bedroom at night." —Cindy H.
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $17.99.
29. A set of dermaplaning razors you can use to take care of those teeny unwanted hairs around your eyebrows or even those face fuzzies you get around your cheek and chin. Fun fact: I get this one really long whisker on my chin every so often and I like to name it Winston.
This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!
Promising review: "Super easy and satisfying to use, you’re literally scraping all of the peach fuzz and dead skin off your face. My face is glowing and incredibly soft now. Highly recommend." —Jane
Get a set of three from Amazon for $4.99.
30. A set of satin pillowcases because they're proven to create way less friction, reducing hair breakage and unnecessary tangles *and* they're soft on your skin!
Promising review: "Bought these to help my hair from breakage! Even though it’s terrible for your hair, I tend to sleep on wet hair sometimes. After using this pillow case, I noticed my hair feels way less brittle when I sleep on my wet hair! Would recommend to people who want to purchase this to help with their hair!" —Alyssa
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four sizes and 23 colors).
31. A surprisingly effective essential-oil stick infused with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender to ease those pesky migraine and tension headaches you get during the workday or because your cat won't stop meowing for treats. Oh, just me?
32. A set of Sea Bands perfect for anyone who deals with constant nausea and motion sickness, migraines, or even nausea brought on by cramps. I have the absolute WORST motion sickness. I'm talking like...if I turn my head too quickly I get sick. These bands target an acupuncture point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea! You'll basically go from 🥴 to 😊.
Promising review: "So I get car sick, sea sick, air sick, 3D movie sick. I get motion sickness at a drop of a hat. Being in my mid-thirties, I would have thought I'd grown out of it by now, but no such luck. When I decided to go on a second cruise, I bought these thinking they wouldn't do anything and that I would return them once I got home. I was pleasantly surprised and found that these helped me tremendously. I wore them all the time over the course of my five-day cruise and was never sick during my vacation. I was stunned. My first cruise I got so sea sick the first day and ended up in a foggy haze the rest of the trip since I took so much Dramamine. Considering how cheap these were compared to popping pills, I should have bought them a long time ago. Great little product and I can't believe how well they worked. I bought a second pair for the car, so if I ever feel sick, I can just put these on. I would highly recommend, even for the skeptical." —KristinaK
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.45 (available in adult and children's sizes).
33. A pair of wireless sleep headphones to play white noise or the relaxing music of your choice in a comfy headband without having to deal with that uncomfortable feeling of earbuds jabbing into your ear holes while you try to snooze.
Bonus: you can use these as hybrid earmuffs/headphones in the winter!
Promising review: "I love love love these! I have been suffering from insomnia for over a year. Partly because my husband snores so loudly. I’ve tried regular ear buds, which fall out, sleep aids, you name it. Nothing else was working, so finally broke down and bought these. I’m so glad I did! Last night I wore these sleep headphones for the first time and fell asleep so fast! I put white noise on my Amazon Prime music and it completely drowned out the snoring! Definitely try these if you have trouble falling asleep. They were super comfy and easy to sync with my phone. The instructions were quite detailed but they were so easy I didn’t need to read the instructions." —Julie Simbto
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 14 colors).
34. A stainless-steel tongue scraper because morning breath is real and you've probably got it, even if you brush your teeth! A good rule of thumb: If you're tongue ain't pink, it just might stink.
35. A wood-cleaning polish to enhance the natural beauty in all of your wood (it's not just for wood floors!) by feeding it with oils, preventing it from drying and fading. It'll make your adult self *so* proud.
36. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream, an affordable concentrated moisturizer for ridiculously dry or cracked skin on your hands so you can feel some relief during these exceptionally dry and cold winter months ahead.
37. A webcam cover that's discreet enough so it doesn't look distracting while you work, but also gives you some sweet peace of mind knowing someone isn't just watching you work like 👀 .
Promising review: " I used to keep a piece of electric tape over my webcams, but it was difficult to remove quickly when I need to use FaceTime. I put one of the sliders on my iMac, and one on my MacBook, and they are awesome! I would def recommend! :)" —Emily
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four colors).
38. And finally, a super bitter-tasting clear polish to assist you in finally quitting your nail-biting habit, allowing your fingernails to grow strong, healthy, and best of all, nice and long. Time to start looking up nail inspo on Pinterest for your next manicure! 💅
It's totally harmless *and* shine-free, so it won't look like anything's on your nails. It's also great to help kids stop sucking on their thumbs.
Promising review: "I am in my mid-30s and have been a life long, hard core nail biter. I am someone who will chew and pick my nails and surrounding skin until they're so short they bleed and hurt constantly (not to mention look horrendous), yet still keep going. Mavala stop is the only nail biting deterrent that has worked for me. It does not taste 'spicy' like other products, it just tastes horrible! For those concerned about visibility, it is essentially clear nail polish that tastes bad. The shine doesn't last as long as regular nail polish. Three years ago I used Mavala stop every other day and for the first time in my life, I had nails that didn't hurt. I wasn't embarrassed about and actually looked nice!" —Amazon customer
