1. A felt purse insert if you've ever had your lip balm seemingly *vanish* in the deep void that is your everyday purse, causing you to pull everything out and dig until you finally locate it. This genius organizer goes right inside your bag, with 13 total pockets so you can stash your beauty products, wallet, earbuds, and other essentials and see where everything is a glance — a lifesaver when you're rushing about on a busy day.
Before you order, measure the inside of your bag to get the best fit!
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 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).
2. Speaking of dark voids into which items disappear: A Drop Stop car seat gap filler that'll prevent your phone, keys, and other items from slipping down between your seat and the center console, which is the absolute WORST when you're driving and can't exactly go looking for them right away.
You might have seen this on Shark Tank! The package comes with two Drop Stops (one for each side), plus two bonus gifts: a slide-free pad for your phone and a slim LED light (about the size of a credit card) that can fit in your wallet.
Promising review: "I have an SUV and there is a big gap between my car seat and the middle console. My iPhone was always sliding down or some other item was getting lost down there. And it’s pretty hard to fish out. If I was driving I had to stop and dig in the crack and retrieve my phone. I bought these hoping they would do what they say they were going to do. They were a little tight and I had to push hard to put them in, but I think that’s a good thing because it really fills in the gap. It works. My phone slipped and it didn’t fall in the gap and I was able to pick it up and keep going. So I’m pretty happy about that. I don’t even notice they are there. Give them a try." —Saundra Akridge
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
3. A "flossing toothbrush" expertly designed with two layers of bristles, including the regular firm kind for brushing and ultra-thin ones designed to clean deeeep within the grooves of your teeth — almost like you were actually flossing. As one reviewer puts it, this leaves you feeling "just home from the hygienist"–level clean, and it's soft on sensitive teeth!
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says, "I personally just bought this and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90.
4. A genius medication tracker that'll ensure you never again have a moment of panic because you can't remember whether you took your daily meds (seriously, sometimes that info seems to leave your brain approximately 10 seconds after doing it!). It sticks right onto your bottle, and it's reusable, transferring to your next bottle easily!
The nifty gadget comes from small biz Take-n-Slide. They're also great for using on pet meds, vitamins, and anything else you routinely forget to take/give.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I’ve tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." —Niki
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99.
5. A ball launcher perfect for dog parents whose fur babe loves to run. This playtime accessory eliminates the need for you to pick up the slimy, muddy ball over and over and help you throw the ball way farther, and your pup will appreciate the longer play sessions as a result!
Promising review: "While my dog struggles with the concept of returning the ball to me, she absolutely loves this! We visit a huge dog park frequently, and this lets me throw a ball far enough that she really gets to run full throttle! I could never throw it far enough on my own to keep her interested more than one or two times before getting the launcher. Now, we can spend an hour at the park playing with it. I have one super-tired dog when we go home. Tired dog = happy dog = happy dog mom. I also love that I don't have to pick up the slimy ball with my hands anymore, especially after she drops it in a puddle, because the launcher picks it right up. My dog gets so excited when she sees the launcher that she will bounce back and forth in front of me until I throw the ball. I only regret not buying one of these earlier!" —C. Fritzche
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in seven sizes and seven styles).
6. A false eyelash applicator reviewers say makes the process of applying falsies *so* easy, even for a beginner. Now you can have the dramatic eye look of your dreams without the stress!
Promising review: "This is very easy to use and affordable. I was able to put on my lashes in no time. I can't believe I use to apply my lashes without this amazing tool. I place my lashes directly in the center and adjust the ends. My lashes go on in one minute less with this tool." —CITY Beauty
Get it from Amazon for $4.98 (available in four colors).
7. A sleep-focused essential oils blend if falling asleep — and staying asleep — is an ongoing struggle, one that leaves you exhausted most days. A blend of lavender, clary sage, and ylang ylang essential oils, this powerful mix has become an *essential* part of many reviewers' nighttime routines. You can put a few drops in your diffuser or humidifier, spray a little (diluted with water) on your pillow, or spritz a cotton ball to put on your nightstand — a little goes a long way.
Note: Reviewers say it's *very* strong, so follow instructions on how much to use!
Promising review: "Smells amazing! Works even better! The first few times I used this I just put a couple of drops on a cotton ball on my nightstand. They were remarkable nights of sleep, very peaceful. The light scent was still there in the morning. Last night I decided to diffuse some before bed and planned on through the night. 15 minutes of my little diffuser running and I was so tired, I was dizzy feeling. Turned it off and slept like a rock. I woke up once because I had tea before bed but was able to go right back to sleep. That is unheard of! It is a school morning and I do not get a full 8 hours on school nights. I am sleepy and have spilled and dropped a few things. I think the diffusing along with a short sleep made for a strong combo. I will stick with a cotton ball for school nights. Can't wait until the weekend when I can sleep in. I am looking forward to diffusing this wonderful oil and taking advantage of the deep sleep it leads me into. Really recommend this if you have trouble sleeping at night." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
Psst — if you don't have a diffuser, you can get a popular, well-reviewed essential oil diffuser on Amazon for less than $20!
8. A jewelry-cleaning brush to save yourself a trip to the jeweler and clean any precious gems that have lost their luster right at home. This little brush uses polished bristles and special polymers that get into all the cracks to leave your rings and other jewelry looking fit for royalty afterward!
Twist the bottom of the pen to dispense the fluid and brush onto the gem to clean! Check out our Diamond Dazzle Stik review for more deets on why it's such a ~gem~ of a product.
Promising review: "You guys! This has saved me from having to go to the jewelers! I had to pay $30 for my ring and $40 my necklace before; now I’ve cleaned them both twice for a fraction of that price! All you do is wet the brush, clean your jewelry, and rinse! Definitely will be buying more!" —noel martinez
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
9. A pack of space-saving compression bags so you can stop straining to fit every *possible* piece of clothing you might want on your trip into your suitcase, or sit on top of it until it closes (with zero space left for souvenirs). Just zip them up and roll to push out the air — no vacuum, just three times the space in your bag than you had before.
Promising review: "These were the things I never knew I needed for traveling. They work just as advertised and are really useful when going on a trip. I always hate at the end of a trip having to mix dirty and clean clothes — a 'laundry bag' or plastic shopping bag never really felt like a good enough separation. These bags seal up and conceal the most stinky, wet clothes from your clean unused clothes. They are going to be one of my new necessities for my big family when traveling." —Sarbello
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $16.97.
10. And a digital luggage scale you can reach for once you're all packed, since it'll immediately let you know if you're over the weight limit (which is *especially* useful for long international trips). You'll never have to risk those painful over-capacity fees — or shamefully open your suitcase at the airport and cram more into your carry-on.
Just hook the scale to your luggage handle, lift up, and the LCD display will show the weight! You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements.
Promising review: "Took this for a 10-day trip overseas with lots of flights. Weighed the luggage as things were added to it/purchased, and when we weighed in at the airport it was perfectly accurate. Very important when the airline will charge $70 more dollars for a suitcase that is too heavy or make you open the whole thing up and take stuff out in order to fly with it. Saved so much hassle." —B. M. O'Connor
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in seven colors, as well as a two-pack).
11. Plus! An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter so you can connect your AirPods or other wireless headphones for watching movies on the plane, because those low-quality airline headphones? Yeah, I'll pass. You can even connect two pairs of earbuds to this at once so you and your travel buddy can watch that new Marvel movie together.
Thankfully, it has over 16 hours of battery life for suuuper long flights.
Twelve South is a husband-and-wife-owned biz based in Charleston, South Carolina, and has just 20 team members! They've been designing accessories inspired by and made for Apple products since 2009.
Promising review: "Ever since I purchased my wireless Bose earbuds, I always hated having to use another set when I was on an airplane with the seat-back entertainment system. I tried many different models to connect the system to my Bluetooth headsets until I came across this one, and it is amazing! It seamlessly connects to my headset, very clear and reliable audio, and it takes the stress away from having to carry multiple headsets! Thank you!!!" —Ryan Malloy
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (also available in two other styles).
12. A set of Goody's "corkscrew" spin pins because we've all been there: redoing our bun until we feel like it looks decently pretty and ~effortless~. Each one of these puppies does the work of 20 bobby pins (!!) to hold your hair securely, and they come with easy instructions for throwing together a flawless top-knot, triple spin, and half-spin style so you can be running out the door in no time.
Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.91.
13. A hanger stacker for storing all your extra hangers (especially to free up space inside your closet) without them becoming a jumbled mess inside a box or on the floor — it's easy enough for kids to use too! And when you need a hanger, they'll be right there for the grabbing.
One of these can hold at least 50 hangers, depending on thickness.
Promising review: "I wish I would have had this a long time ago with the older kids were little. This is so easy to use and transport all of the hangers together. The kids think it is fun to do, and I love it because I don't always have to ask for their hangers and then figure out which way they are going to hang up in the laundry room. It keeps them all together and is easy to remove from it." —Momma of 5
Get it from Amazon for $26.70.
14. And a cap organizer to hang (and display) that ever-growing collection of baseball caps — it's space-efficient *and* keeps them all in one place so you always know where to look. Reviewers do suggest using a wooden hanger as it's stronger than plastic.
Each cap organizer can hold up to 10 items.
Promising review: "These are the best things I have found to store my husband's hats. Especially without taking up a ton of space in the closet or on a door. I absolutely recommend a wood hanger. I had to use two double plastic hangers until I could get a wood hanger. Even the two plastic hangers sag and didn't seem sturdy. But these things are great. I used the other one to store scarves and tank tops. Gave me tons more space in my closet. Great prices, well made, and multiple uses! I will actually order more to help with closet space." —Shannon H.
Get it from Amazon for $8.89+ (available in six colors).
15. Dishwasher cleaner and disinfectant tablets that can remove that nasty buildup you've been trying to ignore for a while now. Just add a tablet, run a normal wash cycle, and watch lime and mineral buildup disappear. Now you don't have to worry about your dishes *actually* getting clean!
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. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine, per instructions, and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! My glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully on a monthly basis, as recommended. I can even put it on my Subscribe & Save order, so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" —Sheila
Get a two-pack with 12 tablets total from Amazon for $17.98.
16. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner, because you know your mama would be mad to see how messy your microwave has gotten! But don't worry, she'll take care of the dirty work for you this time. Just fill the top of this Angry Mama with water and vinegar and nuke it in the microwave, then easily wipe away all the stains that have been loosened up by the steam.
Promising review: "I would give this product more stars if I could. I am a busy mom and my microwave often gets pushed to the end of my never ending to do list. So much so that I would have been too embarrassed to show anyone how gross it had gotten. I finally ordered this with the hope that it would at least help make the job a little bit easier. I was AMAZED! Seriously, the hardest part of the entire experience was trying to get the little mama’s head off to fill it and that only took a minute to figure out. I followed the directions carefully and then used a sponge to wipe off the grease and food bits. My microwave looks brand new. If you dread cleaning your microwave, order this, I’m telling you it really does work wonders!" —M.J
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
17. A peel-off latex cuticle guard if you, without fail, always get nail polish on your skin. You just apply this beforehand, let it dry (which it does quickly), then peel it off after painting, leaving you with zero cleanup and perfectly neat nails.
Promising review: "If you do nail art or want to perfect your nail polishing skills, this is the product for you. Easy to use, dries sparkly so you know it’s dry, easy peel-off in one piece, and a clean finish. I do a lot of nail art and stamping. Some of the stamping polishes are really hard to get off the cuticle but with this, they come off cleanly. Helps when I do my toes, too, if I get a little messy, the mess comes off with the latex. You can also switch the brush so you don’t waste the bottle when the brush gets clumpy." —Diannah S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.75+ (available in two styles).
18. A clamp-on adjustable umbrella made to clip right onto your lounge chair or table for your own personal shade, complete with SPF 50+. No more trying to stake a big, unwieldy umbrella in the sand and prop it up with your cooler, only for it to fall over with a gust of wind.
Psst — a lot of reviewers swear by this for easy hands-free shade solutions for strollers and wheelchairs as well! It's honestly great for a ton of different situations where you're going to be sitting or standing outside for a long period of time, since it's so portable as well — it folds down into a compact carrying case.
Promising review: "I love this! I brought it along for the Fourth of July Parade on a very hot day and attached it to my chair. Not only did it cool me off by about 30 degrees (I think it was close to 100 in the sun), but it ALSO could be all adjusted so the shade fell over me without all of the people walking back and forth on the sidewalk behind my chair constantly bumping into it (which would have happened with a big round umbrella). The clamp is very well made and clamped very securely to my chair with a minimum of effort." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes, nine colors, and bundles with a chair).
19. A handy device to put an end to everyone in your house asking each other, "Did you feed the dog?" multiple times a day. It also comes in versions for cats, fish, and more!
It has magnets, so just stick it on your fridge for some easy, nonverbal communication with the members of your household.
Promising review: "I wish I would’ve gotten this years ago. Takes all the guesswork out of 'was the dog fed?' Our poor dog either got multiple meals or nothing at all. It was so infuriating. I put this on the lid of the dog food container so you can’t get to the dog food without noticing if the tab was switched or not. Our dog gets fed more consistently now. I recommend this to anyone with a busy life who can’t remember anything or a family with many members who may or may not feed the pets!" —Kelly Oyster
Get it from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in six styles).
20. A microfiber duster for gently cleaning those sneaky window blinds and air vents that have built up SO much dust over time. Instead of trying to go in on each individual blind with a dust rag, you can quickly and easily run this tool over two blinds at once, and you're not putting direct pressure on them that could risk breaking them.
The duster comes with five reusable microfiber sleeves, so when one gets bit too dusty, just toss it in the wash for a quick clean.
Promising review: "We built in a new community, and the construction dust is a constant battle. I've been using the swifter duster on my blinds, but it just didn't seem to do that great of a job. You would not believe the dust and dirt I got off my blinds! It takes a little longer to do the blinds, but they are much cleaner. I also like that I'm not adding to the landfill when I use this product." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
21. A soundproofing strip if the walls in your apartment building are paper thin and you'd really rather not hearing your neighbor blaring their music at all hours of the day (or night). There's another big benefit as well: These can prevent heat from escaping under your door, saving you $$$ on energy!
Promising review: "This product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation. I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Revueltas
Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in four colors and two lengths).
22. A vegan laundry stain remover for getting dirt, grease, blood, and other types of stains out of clothing. All you have to do is wet the stained area, rub this stick over it, then toss it in your laundry pile for your next wash — you don't even need to wash it right away!
Shady Creek Farm is a Dallas, North Carolina–based small business on Etsy that makes all-natural products, from soap to lip balms, washcloths, and even cast iron handle covers.
Promising review: "I LOVE THESE. I swear these are better than the commercial stain remover pens!! For reference, immediately after buying my first one of these, I had a period *incident* that pretty heavily stained our white Tencel sheets. I treated the area immediately with warm water and this stain stick, and it got every last bit out. I’ve also removed oil and spice stains with these. I tell everyone about these stain sticks and my mom buys them now (she is also amazed), and I mailed one to my friend. These really work incredibly well — if you’re on the fence about buying, just try one." —Tori Diaz
Get it from Shady Creek Farm NC on Etsy for $8. Shipping is free!
23. A set of nonstick oven liners, because scraping burnt food off the bottom of your oven is a task no one wants to spend time doing. They're easily cut if needed to match your oven size and even easier to clean — just rinse them off or toss in the dishwasher for a deeper wash!
The liners are nonstick, reusable, dishwasher safe, and heat-resistant up to 500 degrees. You can even use these in toaster ovens and on the grill like this reviewer:
Promising review: "These liners are life changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut down to size to fit my toaster oven also. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, as he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil which he found so annoying, deterring him from grilling. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Melissa
Get a pack of three oven liners from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a combo pack with two oven liners, a microwave liner, and a toaster oven liner).
24. Ceiling fan chain pulls for those of us who are ~vertically challenged~ and always have to strain to reach the ceiling light chain. And thanks to the light bulb and fan attachments on the bottom of each cord, you'll never have to guess which is which again.
Why they're great: "Absolutely adorable! They add panache to the fan, and you never have to worry about which pull to choose. The set also makes it easier for me to reach them. They do not get in the way and are a sturdy fit into the original chain. Would highly recommend to anyone." —Scholar Mama
Get them from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four finishes).
25. A travel tissue holder so you can easily reach for a tissue when your allergies have a flare-up...or when that sad song on your commuting playlist comes on.
No more reaching into the center console or digging around in your purse to find a tissue! Bonus: It comes with a free packet of travel tissues as well.
Tiger98 is a small business based in San Angelo, Texas, that sells handmade items for your car.
Promising review: "This tissue holder is well-made and absolutely adorable! I couldn't be happier. Now I no longer need to keep bulky tissue boxes in my car. 🤗" —Robyn Salaver
Get it from Tiger98 on Etsy for $8 (available in 47 fabric patterns).
26. A blind spot mirror that'll have your back — literally — when it comes to switching lanes or backing up out of a parking spot, giving you more visibility at a glance so that sneaky blind spot doesn't catch you off guard. It can cut down on how often you have to physically turn your head around to check (which can be dangerous itself).
Promising review: "I bought these for my mom's car and mine a while back ago and these little things are great. Since I got my license, I've hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these it's been a blessing, I feel less like a scared new driver. I'm currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these too! These are also great for backing up, because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind, and it's helpful when I parallel park in the city." —Mariam Abass
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four shapes; also available in a pack of four).
27. A nifty car seat buckle release tool made to eliminate thumb pain (and prevent broken nails!) when you're trying to unbuckle a kid's car seat — because the last thing you need is more trouble when they're crying and you're running late. It reduces the force needed to buckle by over 50%, with a grippy, comfy surface that's easy even for kiddos to use.
You might have seen it on Shark Tank!
Promising review: "I got this because I have three kids, and since I have captain chairs, my 4-year-old sits in the third row. I can toss it back to him after I’ve parked or when I’m in the carpool line and he can unbuckle himself and then unbuckle his siblings and I don’t have to climb in the car. It’s GREAT! I also like how it doesn’t attach to the car seat like some similar products, and I can keep it up front while the car is moving. So much safer!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors).
28. An iced coffee holder because if you've ever tried to juggle your drink while texting your friend and walking your dog at the same time, you know the struggle!! For anyone who always takes a little drink on the go (whether it's hot or cold), this cute accessory will free up your hand for ~multitasking~, and it'll keep the chilly condensation (or heat) away from your skin as well.
VIS Paradise Goods is a Florida-based Etsy stop established in 2021 that specializes in personalized and sustainable goods.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says, "I own one of these myself and love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!"
Promising review: "This is so cute and helpful!! I am so glad I bought one; I use it almost every day. I was worried that it may be loose, or cause some spilling, but it doesn’t at all! It fits my venti Starbucks iced coffee cups perfectly. It doesn’t spill at all if you line the mouth piece up with the handle to keep it centered. (Doesn’t spill anyway, but that helps too.) I get compliments all the time!" —Autumn Beatty
Get it from VIS Paradise Goods on Etsy for $15.55+ (available in five colors and 10 option designs).
29. A genius and sturdy luggage strap so that when you're rolling your suitcase around the airport, it can carry your second travel bag for you like the little helper it is. Your shoulder will thank you when it's not *aching* the next day.
Promising review: "These are very strong and sturdy, yet small enough to not get in the way. They are perfect to attach to your suitcase — especially if you have a roller bag and a carry-on and have to schlep your way through a big airport. Attach your carry-on to your roller bag and save your shoulder. When you get where you're going, you can easily remove it if you want and stick in your pocket or another bag. This was a very good purchase." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in three colors).
30. An anti-blister balm for when you know you're going to be walking all day and there's a chance of blisters — now you can nip them in the bud before they even have a chance to form. Reviewers swear by how effective this stuff is — you just apply it before you put on your shoes, and you'll be free of blisters, chafing, and rawness at the end of the day.
Promising review: "I don't normally have trouble with blisters or pain from my work shoes, but I travel regularly to Washington, DC, for work. I walk a lot while I'm there, including when it's hot and muggy in the summer, and any kind of shoe I've tried gives me blisters when I walk 5 miles a day with extremely sweaty feet and no socks. I thought my only options were to coat my feet in Band-Aids or bite the bullet and start wearing tights or socks in the heat, but then I found this stuff. I just got back from a week in DC in shoes that have given me blisters before, and my feet are completely fine. I did reapply in the evenings going out for dinner, but otherwise, just a few swipes on the problem spots and I was ready to go, with no painful rubbing. And, of course, the size is convenient for travel and to keep in my bag in case I do need to reapply." —L. Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
31. An overflow drain cover designed to give you a few extra inches of warm, luxurious bath water to sink into when you really need to relax. It covers your existing overflow drain and has a hole at the top that releases water a few inches higher.
Promising review: "I would die without a good bath. It's an absolute must. We just moved into a new home and the bathtubs are *SO* shallow. My soul was slowly being ripped to pieces while soaking in a measly 7 inches of water. Devastating! It will be a while until we can afford to remodel the bathrooms, so I needed to find an alternative solution before I cracked. This product seriously improved the quality of my life. It's a softer, malleable plastic than I originally thought, but convenient for different shaped tubs since it will mold easier. All I have to do to turn my nightmare tub into a dream was to run the suction cups under the faucet and snap the suction cups into place over the bath drain. It was so easy! I got an instant 5 inches more of water!! For $8?! I think yes!!! Crowds applauded and cried, it was beautiful. After each bath I remove the drain cover and hang it from my shower caddy to dry out." —Rachael
Get it on Amazon for $6.49 (available in nine colors).
32. A Bracelet Mate so you never have to spend more than a few seconds attempting to fasten a bracelet while you're at home by yourself.
Promising review: "I can't believe I've waited this long to buy one of these. My eyesight is failing, including my depth perception, so wearing bracelets has been difficult unless they are slip-on. This jewelry helper is easy to use. Now I can wear bracelets again." —Cat Mom
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in pink or white, and in two-packs).
33. A delicate eyeglass chain that's both beautiful and incredibly useful if you're always putting down your glasses somewhere and losing them.
Promising review: "Best chain ever. I wear it every day. I no longer need to search for my glasses because they are always in place. Sturdy chain with no flaws or problems with color. Beautiful luster and just wipe clean like my glasses!" —Elainor B. Ray
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four styles).
34. Some packs of InstaFire to keep on hand for the next time everyone's shivering around the fire pit, waiting for the former Boy Scout in the group to remember how to start a fire. This eco-friendly fire starter will get the job done in no time flat, with the ability to light up even wet wood and withstand gusty winds.

Promising review: "This stuff is awesome!!! We used only one pack for our campfire and it kept burning for a long while — well after the logs caught. There was no oily, smelly chemicals or toxic smoke like some fire starters that are paraffin based. This burned clean so we had a nice relaxing fire to enjoy — no poking or prodding necessary to get the fire going." —Mooselady

35. An internet-beloved time-marked water bottle that'll make it way easier to stay on top of your hydration goals this year, since you'll have a visual reminder of how much you've drunk — and still need to drink. Bonus: The mouth piece is spill-proof, and it comes in *really* cute colors.
Promising review: "I love the finish on the bottle! I hate holding wet water bottles and this does NOT sweat! It also holds two full bottles of 16.9-oz. packages water bottles so it’s very easy to get my full water intake on the go! Easy to carry, fits in my car's cup holders perfectly (not big at all like some water bottles). I got the ombré purple to teal and it’s very true to color. Easy to clean, wide enough for bottle brushes, and the straw stays put. I also love how I just push the little button by the mouthpiece and it just pops open quick for easy drinking. (If you’re driving, you don’t need to be messing around opening bottles.😉) Highly recommend this water bottle. For the price, it’s amazing! Keeps my water cool for hours too." —Alicia

36. Sticky Stake insect traps designed to attract and trap those annoying gnats, flies, and other insects that swarm your plants. Once it's caught all the bugs (ugh), just toss it right in the trash.
Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time, I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my houseplants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately, I added a new houseplant, plus repotted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan

37. A necklace detangling clasp so you can layer your favorite necklaces to your heart's content without having to reckon with a tangled mess of chains at the end of the day. Truly, who has the time for that??
Theresa Rose is a California-based Etsy shop established in 2007 that specializes in custom birthstone and personalized jewelry gifts.
Former BuzzFeeder Kayla Suazo tried these out and loved 'em: "I recently bought a couple of these and had one of those very real WHY DIDN'T I BUY ONE OF THESE SOONER moments. They do an amazing job at keeping your necklaces from tangling as you wear them, and I love that I can layer multiple of my favorites at once. I am forever sold on these."
Get it from Theresa Rose on Etsy for $13.49+ (available in gold and silver and with two, three, or four clasps).
38. A super absorbent hybrid scrunchie-towel perfect for busy, on-the-go folks with long hair, since it'll cut down on your drying time and let you skip using heat tools; plus, it'll keep your hair out of your face while you're doing makeup, cooking breakfast, or getting the kids ready.
Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." —Meghan
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in six colors and designs).
39. A Frywall designed to block hot grease splatters from stinging your arms or making a mess in your kitchen when you're trying to grill burgers or whip up a mean stir fry. Plus, you'll still have access to the food with it in place, so you can easily keep adding ingredients and cooking, and since they're made of food-grade silicone, they're super easy to clean!
You might have seen it on Shark Tank! BTW, it's BPA-free, FDA-compliant, heat-resistant up to 450 degrees F, and dishwasher-safe. It won't work with pans smaller than 9.5 inches in diameter!
Promising review: "I was frying chicken with lard (yes, I use lard! My chicken is NOT health food) and I put too much in the frying pan. A few minutes after putting the chicken in, the lard began to bubble up and if I hadn't had the Frywall in place, it would have spilled all over my stove. The Frywall creates a seal around my frying pan, stopping spillovers. Splatters don't escape, it's easy to work around it (turning my chicken over), and when I'm done, I just throw it in the dishwasher. If you do any frying at all, you want the Frywall." —Carl G Brown
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in three colors).
40. A calming spray that can help tense, aggressive cats chill the heck out. Whether they're attacking other cats in the household or flip out when it's time to go to the vet, this calming formula can give them a little bit of zen and make your life easier.
Promising review: "Is your cat actually the devil? Does it poop up walls or start fights with the couch for no reason? Try this. Works like magic. I don't know what kind of dark magic is in it. I don't care. All I know is my cat does not try to eat the face of my other cats anymore. WIN." —graphicsgoddess13
Get it from Amazon for $8.79.
41. A handy two-piece multitool jar opener because who among us has not struggled to open a dang pickle jar that, for some reason, came practically glued shut?? It has openings in four different sizes so you can pick the best one for the task at hand — AND you'll get a can and bottle opener too. Meet your match, obnoxiously tight jar of spaghetti sauce.
Psst — A lot of reviewers with arthritis swear by these for pain-free, easy opening, and parents say it makes it a lot easier for kids to open jars, too!
Promising review: "Having had arthritis in my hands since my teens, I have used many jar/bottle openers out of necessity. The Oxo ones work well but wear out within a year because of the volume of usage. This fabulous opener has yet to find a container that it cannot easily open, even bottles of water with heavily sealed caps. I love it so much I ordered another one to have in two drawers on either end of my kitchen. This gripper does not exacerbate my carpel tunnel syndrome, either. I would give it more stars if I could." —Patrizia L.
Get it from Amazon for $7.37+ (available in 11 styles).
42. A HoodiePillow that's (*cue Hannah Montana*) the ~best of both worlds~ since it's both a pillow to cradle your neck and a hoodie — literally just the hood — to cover your head, provide some privacy, and hopefully discourage your seat neighbor from chatting you up while you're trying to catch some Z's.

Promising review: "Comfortable neck pillow. Great for air travel, the hoodie is very easy to adjust over your face, it helps me block out the unwanted light and overall sights on the plane! I also use when riding as a passenger in a car to get in a quick nap. The memory foam is quite comfortable." —TK
