instagram.com

Promising review: "I don't typically review things but after sitting by myself at the kitchen table with a spit bowl and a bottle of water, I felt I had to tell someone about what I just experienced. Wow. Just wow. The vomit — it tastes like vomit. The booger — yup. Floss — spot on. Soap — just like soap. The earthworm...I've never eaten one but I'm now confident I know what it tastes like. I literally sat there, laughing, gagging, spitting them out, chugging water. What an afternoon. These are fantastic if you are a Harry Potter fan. I don't think they could be more accurate." —Scotlyn

7. A magnifying glass able to transform from handheld to desk stand mode.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a terrific little magnifying glass — very well-made and functional. I love its ability to transform into a standing position to help with splinters, fingernail fixing, and any other little tasks. The light works well too, unlike another glass I bought at the same time for more money." —ruthie

Get it from Amazon for $9.

8. A side seat organizer that'll always keep your snacks and glasses within arm's reach.

amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $9.

9. A Cthulhu-like beanie mask to make your face warm and tentacle-y.

amazon.com, Mattitties69 / Via amzn.to

10. A convenient first-aid kit that's great to keep in your car or daypack.

amazon.com

Promising review: "It's very compact and fits into my small satchel virtually unnoticed. It takes up very little space and it's always there for cuts, scrapes, and gouges. Not easily crushed, unmistakably marked as a first-aid kit, (which is great if your hand is bloodied and you need someone else to find it in your bag for you quickly), and can be refilled indefinitely." —S. Walton

Get it from Amazon for $6.

11. A mystic emoji ball you shake to reveal your fortune.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The children loved them, especially the hilarious responses that the emoji ball gives. Big hit, and it beat putting together candy and little trinkets in a goody bag. I also included some emoji stickers when I wrapped them in tissue paper just in case the children wanted to decorate their ball." —jillian baugh

Get it from Amazon for $9.

12. Side bowls clip right onto any plate to add extra real estate.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I love having carrots and dip, but hated having to take the tub of dip out every time I wanted some. I also hated wasting the dip if I took too much, or having to run back for more if I took too little. Trying to balance the dip and the carrots was also a problem. And I hate double dippers! Such a great way to spread germs! Now, I simply clip the cup to my plate, fill it with dip, and put the carrots on the plate. One plate for everything. No more balancing act AND no more double dipping! Yeah!" —handicapped shopper

Get it from Amazon for $7.

13. Divider sticky notes that are perfect for taking notes in rented textbooks.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm a college student who takes notes a lot, and these are perfect for using on rented textbooks (which you can't write in). The tabs are nice and there's just enough space on each paper to put down important information. Nice, thick paper and it's sticky from one edge to about halfway to the other edge, so it stays on pretty well." —maria17

Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in 2, 3, and 6-packs).

14. A pastry mat to keep your cookies from sticking (and for making measuring dough crusts super easy).

amazon.com

Promising review: "We used one of the mats heavily over the holidays and it did not slip. We also didn't have any sticking issues, and there weren't any creases in either of the mats." —K. Ethier

Get it from Amazon for $6.

15. A bench scraper for easily transferring your chopped veggies from place to place.

amazon.com

Promising review: "If you are cooking and chopping ingredients, it transfers them to your prep bowls or to the sauté pan easily. It is pretty large and has sides to hold the chopped food without falling off. Grippy handle. It is also handy for bread baking — you can scrape down your kneading surface with it." —Joanna D.

Get it from Amazon for $7.

16. A wine skin bag that'll safely hug your favorite bottle of The Good Stuff when you're traveling.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Four bottles of wine in a single checked bag survived a coast to coast flight just beautifully! I did not use the sealer that is built into the bag, but used packing tape instead. That was as much because I wanted to use them over and didn't want to foul the adhesive on the bag, as it was for added peace of mind." —Deanna Nicole Davis

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in a 2, 4, 6, or 8-pack).

17. Pocket-sized notebooks that are perfect for keeping travel memories in one place.

amazon.com

Promising review: "My daughter used this for her friend's wedding shower she hosted at our house. The bride was going to Europe on a honeymoon, so my daughter had every guest 'kiss' a page with lipstick on and sign their name like a passport stamp so the bride ended up with a clever guestbook. Lots of ways to use this book and the pages were bound well. Good quality." —sharonmomof6

Get them from Amazon for $10 or Rifle Paper Co. for $8.

18. Recappable lids for turning mason jars into functional storage.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I happen to have a lot of Ball Jars. I use them for everything, including as a cup. For my nighttime water, I use this cap with the wide opening and don't have to worry about dust or a bug or spider falling into my water while I sleep." —Christina Melikian

Get it from Amazon for $8+ (available in regular or wide mouth, as well as six colors, and in a 4 or 10-pack).

19. A giant spatula that'll make flipping pancakes and checking pizzas better than ever.

amazon.com

Promising review: "It works fabulously to carry a hot microwave dinner plate to the table without having it flop around or bend. It's just the right size to get under a soup bowl and help lift it out without burning your hands." —vunderstuff

Get it from Amazon for $10.

20. Silicone pinch bowls to hold small spices and herbs you just need a ~dash~ of.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I have seen something like this on a cooking show where the chef had to use a teaspoon of this or a tablespoon of that. Measuring your spices in these little bowls in advance of cooking makes it so much more faster and convenient." —LA girl

Get it from Amazon for $7.

21. A pack of ultra-calming makeup wipes to make your skin feel clean and smooth after a long day.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I have always been really bad about removing my makeup before bed, but from time to time I try a different type of wipe. I'm not easily impressed. Usually the scents are too overpowering, but this one is perfect. It has a light fragrance and makeup comes off easy, including my mascara and eyeliner, which is waterproof. The best part is, my skin has never looked better! I will continue using these forever!" —ABlessingBoutique

Get it from Amazon for $6.

22. Cute succulent planters—a delight on any desk.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Very cute planter! Has a small plug in the bottom that you can open, if your plant needs the drainage. The opening is a little small for most standard-sized succulents at the nurseries near me. (The smallest I've found are 2.5 inches in diameter, and they are just a little too big,) That said, I think I'll be able to work it in there with some careful repotting." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $8 (available in 18 different styles).

amazon.com

Promising review: "Great little tool to clean out the air vents of your vehicle." —Daniel R. Olivas

Get it from Amazon for $2.

24. Stretchy laces for making your favorite shoes into slip-ons.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I have multiple 'systems' in different colors on lots of my shoes -- and not just on athletic/running shoes. They're fantastic for airport security or if you're just too lazy/busy to tie your shoes. Once you get them fitting how you want, you'll never have to worry about them again." —Jer L.

Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in 44 colors).

25. A ring size adjuster to turn loose rings into ones that'll fit nice and snug against your finger.

amazon.com

Promising review: "My rings were loose, but not enough to need resizing. I used the larger-sized coil to keep my rings in place and have had no issues getting my rings off or back on. My rings also stay in place now! I have not noticed any lotion, soap, etc., getting stuck underneath, either." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $8.

26. Egg-shaped contact lenses cases that'll keep you seeing egg-cellently.

amazon.com

Promising review: "It was actually nicer than I expected. The case is inside and little tweezers came with it! Easy to find in a purse and doubly protected because it's a case within a case!" —Deb A.
