Promising review: "Is this 100% necessary? No...however, it does make one thing a little easier for me in the morning. Instead of watching the pot and waiting for the water to boil to start the timer you can just put the NobelEgg in the pot with your eggs, start the heat and just wait for your eggs to be done. Can't wait to give some as gifts!" —BaileyBoo

This game-changer includes a toothbrush dispenser (which means less product waste!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes!
Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, Q-tips, or flossers." —Sariyah J

It also just looks a-dorable sat on your kitchen counter!
Promising review: "I bought this for my mom for Mother’s Day. She loves to make smoothies but always had to drag a very large and heavy blender out to make them.

The Roll Keeper is a small, woman-owned business based in Castle Rock, Washington. They create unique, handcrafted storage solutions.
Promising review: "These Roll Keepers made it so much easier to store my T-shirts, jeans, towels, etc., leaving ample room in my closet or drawers for additional items.

I will be purchasing more." —Shanette Labonte

And if you're looking for the shipping labels themselves, get a pack of 500 fan-fold self-adhesive labels that are compatible with this very printer.
Promising review: "Finally caved and ordered a label printer to help with the holiday shopping season. This thing has made my life SO much easier and is worth the cost. It took maybe 40 minutes of playing around with the settings to figure out how to get my 4x6 labels to print correctly. I've now printed 60+ labels with no issue at all. The compact size and form factor is also great!" —Debbie Fong
Get it from Amazon for $157.49 (available in four colors).
BTW, it's BPA-free, FDA-compliant, heat-resistant up to 450°F, and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "The Frywall works very well and I am very pleased with it. My range top is black and you can see each little spot of grease.

Its natural rubber bristles attract pet hair on multiple surfaces, like carpet, tile, hardwood, and linoleum AND has a built-in rubber squeegee (aka the thing you use on your windshield) for cleaning windows and spills.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! I have a large dog and cat and this has made life so much easier! This is so much easier to use than a regular broom. I can get up all the hair in the living/dining/kitchen in about five minutes. It does work on carpet and rugs but you do have to work a little harder. I ended up bending the handle (which I read several other reviews mentioned) so you have to be careful with that. But for the tile and hardwood alone I’d say this product is well worth the price." —Lindsay L
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Emma Lord loves this and says: "This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended-arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it. You can read my full review of the Leejie electric lighter for more deets!"
Promising review: Neat little lighter. I dislike using disposable butane lighters for my candles. This lighter is compact, reliable, rechargeable and pretty!" —Teresa McPherson
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in five colors).
This container features drain holes and a base tray to catch any drippy mess. Plus, it is dishwasher safe and attaches via Command strips, so it won't damage walls.
Promising review: "THIS is such a great invention! SO happy I found this! I was looking to purchase a flip down cabinet add-on to make the faux-front of the sink cabinet a usable tray for a sponge. This is actually not only immensely easier, but also better, since you can empty the water with the pull-out bottom tray. Beyond easy to install and made me a very happy customer!" —Sta So
Get it from Amazon for $10.39.
Promising review: "So, like a dummy, I never thought about cleaning under our sectional when we purchased it. It's huge, heavy, and unmovable — and the kids like to eat nearby, so food is constantly rolling/sliding/migrating underneath and it gets disgusting. Too low-profile to vacuum; broom won't fit. Was using one of the static dusters for ceiling fans that was doing a meh job - this little thing got yuck out from under there from... *shudder* let's not talk about it. Great little tool. Fit under my washer, dryer, and fridge, too, which was an added bonus. Cleanup is easy, too." —mmj
Get it from Amazon for $15.95.
Promising review: "I just got this today and I am thrilled. It is very sturdy and fits perfectly in the designated space. Lids for food containers has been a major storage issue my entire adult life. The last time I organized the containers I put all of them in a plastic bin and while that was better than what I had, this one has dividers so that you can sort them in whatever style you want. It makes it much easier to keep track of the right tops for the containers." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes).
Promising Review: "Easy install. I actually didn't need to add any extra "hooks" to keep it in place. I just lifted up the mattress and slipped this in. I like that there are pockets on both the inside and the outside of this bedside caddy. It makes it easy to organize remotes and tablets. I don't really have room for a beside table and this caddy helped me organize and keep things within hands reach. It is large enough to even hold magazines and books." —Nancy
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in six colors).

Get it from Amazon for $39.05 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for a while and I’ve started to a rely on it. I first used this out of desperation. My dishwasher was broken from a fried control panel. I eventually replaced the panel. I opened the dishwasher and it was fairly gross. A little stagnant water gave way to some mold. I found this product and figured I’d give it a shot. I did need to use this two or three times before the dishwasher was cleaned and usable. But I find that a major win considering the shape it was in beforehand. Now I use it every month or two and I have to say way easier than cleaning by hand. Definitely worth the price I paid." —Justin
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $5.99.
Promising review: "If I could give this product more than 5 stars I would. It cuts through and minces garlic easy and is much easier to clean than the traditional garlic press. I bought another one for my mother-in-law and she LOVES it too. She cooks a lot and said it made her life so much easier too." —Mattix
Get it from Amazon for $10.77.
Promising review: "This steamer is perfect for my needs. It is compact and easy to use. Instead of having to drag out an ironing board and lay out my clothes, I am able to keep them on the hangar and let the steamer do the work.

Promising review: "Functional AND beautiful...it’s already helping to keep my family more organized and it’s not an eyesore! Putting the clear acrylic w/ white lettering on a dark wall really helps it *pop*! It was packaged well, and instructions for hanging were very clear." —Ness Step

The jumping into the leaf pile part will be just as great though!
Promising review: "I really like these mitts. They greatly facilitate cleaning up leaves and yard debris. They are very durable for yard work. I wouldn't use them to move gravel or rock. These mitts save time and more importantly a lot of back-wrenching work. I use these too when out on yard jobs. If you have a lot of leaves or loose brush to gather these make the job a great deal easier." —Marty R.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this power – pet shampoo or rug cleaner it just makes life so much easier. I’m not on my hands and knees constantly cleaning up after this little puppy.

Promising review: "This is a fun product to use! I do recommend using it with a disposal scrub brush, since I hadn’t cleaned my disposal in...many many centuries...it took a little scrubbing in addition to get all the grime out. This made the process MUCH easier though, and I love the foam that bubbles up. It’s as fun to watch as it is good at cleaning. I’d buy again sometime." —Leslie

Promising review: "Bought this for my 85-year-old mother who has a bit of arthritis in her hands. She loves this jar opener. She commented on the ease of use and likes the fact that it can be used on smaller bottles. Made a daily task much easier for her." —Christine

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. And 5% of profits are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association.
Promising review: "In the 45+ yrs I’ve been washing sheets, I’ve tried everything to keep them from wadding up like a burrito. This Works! I use them for my king sized bed and no more wet little bundle in the middle after drying them! The pillowcases now wind up on top instead of twisted and wet inside. It’s super easy to attach the corners of the sheet to the silicone square. The sheets come out cleaner and there’s no need to re-dry them! I bought one for both of my daughters - always happy to make life easier for them! Now I use them for my queen sized beds as well. I enjoy washing my sheets weekly now! I highly recommend." —Leslie Burch

This kitchen essential is programmable, comes with a 60-ounce removable water reservoir, adjustable warming plate (that has a two-hour auto-shutoff function), and your coffee can be brewed under different strengths: i.e. "classic" or "rich."
Promising review: "At last - a coffee maker that makes my life easier! We lived for years with another brand of coffee maker - difficult carafe and difficult to fill, but made good coffee. I finally decided to buy this one and I'm glad I did. I love being able to fill the reservoir and not having to pour the water directly into the coffee maker. This machine makes good coffee, although it's a little bit slower that the last one. I do like to have thermal carafe so I compromised and bought a separate one that is glass-lined and easy to clean. All in all, worth a little bit slower brewing and having to have a separate thermal carafe. I'm completely satisfied with this one." —Lulu Fishbaum
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
Promising review: "I detest cleaning the bathroom. This has made my life easier. Just spray after you shower and let it sit until tomorrow. The bottom of my shower looks almost new! The only down side is that if you already have mold, it does not take care of that." —Chinese Chick

Happy Earth Boutique is a New Jersey–based Etsy store that specializes in making healthy, good-for-the-planet cleaning supplies.
Promising review: "I love these so so so much! These help keep my toilets clean and make it easier to clean. I tend to drop one in everyday and I don't have to scrub as often (especially since I live in a house with very hard water). If I could put these on an auto-ship, I would in a heartbeat." —Etsy Customer

Promising review: "This little vacuum works like a dream and has made my life so much easier. It gets under my buffets and coffee table that has a low shelf. We live in Arizona and have laminate flooring throughout a 2,900-square-foot home on 5 acres with two giant Great Pyrenees dogs who are in and out all day bringing in all sorts of things. This little robot sweeps everything right up. I love to go barefoot and it's so nice to wake up to grit-free floors. My husband is even impressed and the dogs though annoyed when I move their beds have accepted it." —Theresa Logan

I live in a 500-square-ft. apartment and there is a grand total of ONE drawer in my entire kitchen. It is exactly 3.25" tall. It works like a charm! I have double the space in my kitchen drawer now." —maite

Promising review: "TubShoom makes my life easier. I shed so much hair and it has always been an issue when it comes to showering! I used to try to catch the hairs before it went to the drain in which I would later have to clean once clogged, and now I encourage and move them towards the drain and my TubShroom! It truly is amazing and the silicone material allows it to not rust like the old metal tub sink screens. It makes cleaning so much easier and I am amazed every time. It even caught my dog's hair and he has short thin hairs!!! Highly highly recommend this to every home. I'm planning on buying one for every sink in the house since they also have it for sinks as well as tubs!!!" —S.K.M

Promising review: "I have found there are very few things these towels won't work on. They are amazing. Whether you are painting, prepping to paint, deep cleaning funk, these towels seem to make life easier. You may have to wipe over what your doing and let it set for a minute and go back over it depending on the age of the funk but they really work. Make sure you wear gloves because they will dry your hands out if using a lot during a cleaning." —Kathryn
