    40 Problem-Solving Products You’d Gladly Pay More For, But Luckily You Don’t Have To Because They’re All Under $25

    Now you can go ahead and buy the watermelon cutter, jewelry cleaning pen *and* concealer since the total price is what you would've been willing to pay for just one.

    1. A FURemover rubber broom with a magnet-like rubber head to attract the massive amount of hair that is lodged into your carpet. This thing will pull up piles of pet hair (and probably your hair, too) that you thought you got rid of vacuuming. BONUS, this is reusable and washable, so no worry about creating excessive waste when you inevitably become obsessed with cleaning your carpets.

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat. Being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can’t always get in deep enough. This actually works, and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." —Theo Ackerman

    2. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant, because even though I promise no one other than you actually notices those little bumps on your arms, you want them gone and all power to ya!! Reviewers with skin conditions like keratosis pilaris swear by this product!

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and Instagram. I decided to try it, and it really works. I used it on my thighs and upper arms. I noticed a difference the first time and even more the second time!!! Fabulous product. Worth every penny." —Launa

    Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes and a two-pack). 

    3. A set of Keurig cleaning cups if you're starting to notice a ~funky~ taste in all your beverages after having your Keurig for a long time and never cleaning it. Don't worry, you're not alone, I didn't know you were supposed to be doing anything special to clean them either.

    Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend, keeps everything runny correctly and clean." —Lauren

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a 12- or 18-pack).

    4. A watermelon cutter that will revolutionize your fruit eating. Efficiently and effectively cutting up a watermelon may be one of those things that has never been fully figured out…until now! Reviewers rave about how easy this is to use, and they say it can cut a whole watermelon in five minutes. Now how many minutes until you've eaten it all?!

    Promising review: "This tool is so handy!! I hate cutting watermelon, and this is so fast and easy to use and easy to wash. I cut a watermelon in less than five minutes. It cuts yellow watermelon too!!! The included baller is great for the small leftover, hard-to-reach places." —Andrea Draine

    Get it from Amazon for $12.37

    5. A pack of detergent cup holders you'll never want to be without again once you've tried them. They easily attach to the detergent container to not only hold the cups but catch any falling drips. Now you don't have to clean your floor because you cleaned your clothes…that's just an exhausting process TBH.

    Tidy-Cup is a woman-owned small business started after the founder, Julie Reinhold, was tired of detergent containers dripping all over her laundry room floor.

    Promising review: "My detergent has dripped on the floor multiple times. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see it until I move the washer and dryer. My only solution was to sit the detergent upright and pour when needed. Until I saw a video on TikTok that made me buy these!" —Check Amazon First!

    Get one from Amazon for $12 (also available in a two-pack). 

    6. toothbrush holder and dispenser so you can keep all the toothbrushes and toothpaste in one place instead of having them scattered all over your counter. Eliminating the mess of rogue globs of toothpaste and lids not screwed on is just an additional perk.

    a reviewer's white wall mounted toothbrush holder
    Reviewer showing the toothpaste dispensed on the toothbrush

    This includes a toothpaste dispenser (that'll squeeze out every last ounce!), 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. I 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

    Get it from Amazon for $16.77+ (available in three colors).

    7. glass and ceramic cookware cleanup kit to take the stress out of cooking, because cooking = messes. I know there's been at least a few (a lot of) times I have been cooking and my pot boils over. I'm *adding this to my cart* so now I can actually solve that problem instead of just staring at it wondering if I'll ever be brave enough to cook again.

    The set includes a 10-ounce bottle of cooktop cleaner, a grip pad tool, a scraper, and three cleaning pads perfect for daily cooktop cleaning.

    Promising review: "I accidentally burned a towel to my glass stovetop. We are selling our house soon, and I’ve been in a panic because I couldn’t remove the burn. I saw this on a TikTok and LIFE CHANGER! So easy to use and everything came right off!!" —Catherine Valentino

    Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $15.68.

    8. A portable door lock, a necessity for anyone who travels alone or wants to feel a little extra ~secure~ in their room (whether at a hotel or at home). This gadget is super easy to install, fits most doors, and can easily be stashed in a bag. The peace of mind is absolutely worth it.

    Check it out on TikTok here!

    Promising review: "My apartment door has a deadbolt but no lock on the door handle. The latch is also misplaced so if it’s not dead bolted anyone can just push my door open. Took a few tries to get this right but makes me feel much more secure, and it’s easy to use when you get the hang of it! I also take this with me when traveling as it fits almost all doors. Definitely recommend, thanks TikTok for showing this to me." —Anna

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a two- and four-pack).

    9. A hand-powered chopper so you can stop risking your fingers and crying every time you need to chop up onions for your recipes. Now with a few quick pulls you'll have them finely chopped and you can move on to the next task for your recipe!

    Promising review: "This chopper is amazing!! I love cooking, but used to absolutely HATE chopping onions... until someone gave me this chopper! Now I simply have to quarter the onion, throw it in the chopper, pull the handle about 10–15 times, and they're ready to be used! No more teary eyes or spending a long time chopping onions. The cup is big enough to fit a whole onion... I think the capacity is three cups. There's tons of other uses to this as well... you can chop pretty much anything from herbs, veggies and fruits, to making salsa and guacamole." —Valjulia

    Get it from Amazon for $18.18+ (available in three colors).

    10. A jewelry cleaning pen to help make your jewelry ~shine~ like it did when you first got it. Warning: may cause you to spend a lot of time watching your jewelry reflect the sun onto different surfaces.

    To use this pen, simply wet the brush, twist the silver base of the pen until you see the blue cleaner come out and brush it on your jewelry. 

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

    Get it from Amazon for $8.69+ (also available in multi-packs).

    11. A set of silicone stove-counter gap covers so you can stop worrying about all the particles of food that have fallen into the abyss every time you cook. Pro tip, you should pull out the oven before installing to clean everything that's fallen down there already — you may find some hidden treasures.

    Promising review: "My daughter recently shared a TikTok video of this item, and it's a treasure! We highly recommend this item, as it eliminates the difficult task of cleaning between the stove and counter/cabinet." —allycat

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in three sizes and three colors).

    12. A set of scrubbing attachments to attach to your drill so you can stop spending hours using your old toothbrush to scrub the grime away. It's time to work smarter, not harder, folks!

    See it in action on TikTok here!

    The company that created this brush is a small business founded in 2007 by a former electrician who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing himself harm.

    These brushes fit with any drill, but if you don't have one, you can grab one here.

    Promising review: "So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." —A. Givens

    Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in six brush stiffnesses).

    13. bubble makeup brush holder made of silicone to slide over your makeup brush to protect the bristles (and the inside of your bag from getting covered in powder stains). Not to mention this will keep all the gnarly germs off of the literal thing you rub all over your face!!

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.49 (available in two sizes and seven colors).

    14. Bottle-cleaning tablets so your emotional support water bottle you've been using every day for the past year (…without washing…) can be restored back to its freshly purchased state that is *actually* safe to drink out of.

    Promising review: "I admit I was skeptical that this would work on my deeply coffee stained, stainless steel coffee tumblers. Usually I have to boil hot water and use vinegar and dishwashing liquid in them and let them sit overnight to get them clean. So I was definitely skeptical how one small tablet with warm water for 20 minutes was going to get them sparkling. The truth of the matter is...it actually did a killer job! I popped one tablet in the bottom of each clean tumbler. Then, I added hot water that I had boiled on the stove (as an added benefit) and left them uncovered for 20 mins. Halfway through I stirred the water with a bottle brush and then let it sit for the remaining time. Before rinsing them out, I used a bottle brush again and then rinsed. OMG! SPARKLING LIKE NEW!!! SIMPLE, FAST & EASY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" —Bliss Om

    Get a pack of 12 tablets from Amazon for $8 (also available in 36- or 78-pack).

    15. A hair-finishing stick to tame the breakage or baby hairs that never seem to sit in their place. Say goodbye to constantly trying to blow dry them into place or going over the same section 10+ times with your straightener. With a quick swipe, you'll be looking like you spent hours on your hair.

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and didn’t believe it was as good as they said, but it is! It looks like a tube of mascara, and I thought it would make my hair hard or greasy looking, nope! Just makes the flyaways stay down. Now if I could just remember to use it more often. 😂" —Sam Ingle

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a two-pack).

    16. Or an edge control gel that works so well, you can go about your day as usual without having to worry about your edges staying in place. Some reviewers even say they last up to three days if they tie their hair up when they sleep!

    Promising review: "So, I first found out about this product in my Cosmo school I attend and fell in love. It stays on just right for a long time, just as advertised! I had bought a different edge tamer and was disappointed, but this one exceeds my expectations, which is why I also purchased the largest tub size! <3 This is my fave edge tamer out there! A little goes a long way!" —Maria

    Get it from Amazon for $5.90+ (available in five sizes and multi-packs).

    17. A pumice stone reviewers repeatedly call magic, and once you see the results, you will understand why. Those rings you've had around the toilet in your basement for years will finally disappear.

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a two-pack).

    18. A pack of Mighty Patch pimple spot treatment that are not only effective but also satisfying. Just place one of these on your pimple, go to bed, and wake up to a drastically smaller breakout — and a satisfying patch full of all the gunk it pulled out.

    See them in action on TikTok here!

    Promising review: "I heard all about these on TikTok, so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. I will always have these in my house from now on!" —Kiara Galloway 

    Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

    19. Wad-Free so you don't have to run your dryer like three times just to have your sheets actually come out dry. (Can you tell this just happened to me last week?)

    Check out a TikTok of the Wad-Free attachment in action. 

    Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray learned computer-aided design to create the pads. And they're BPA-free and reusable!

    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+ (also available as a set of four).

    20. A bottle of Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer because let's be honest, you don't have the energy for a full face of foundation every single day. This concealer will help cover up big pimples, redness, or dark circles without weighing you down.

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "TBH, I started using this myself (although this is former BuzzFeeder Kayla Suazo's lovely human face above), and I am mad that I wasted time with other concealers for so long. I am a deeply impatient person who likes to look good and does not like to put in effort in any way, shape, or form, and Maybelline created this so that people like me could gracelessly slap it on in the morning and be like 'OKAY, REFLECTION, YOU GOT THIS' before being on their merry way. It never cakes, I look way more awake than I have any right to, and I never struggle to blend it the way I do with other concealers. 11/10 subscribe."

    Promising review: "Throughout high school I never knew how to do makeup. But then I heard this product was the absolute best on TikTok. And trust me, they were not lying. It has really good coverage and hides my 'raccoon eyes.' And the best part is that a little bit goes a long way. So if you’re starting out or want to try something new I definitely recommend you try this out." —Liela Lee

    21. A pack of trendy, nonslip velvet hangers that will turn your disheveled closet into a perfectly cohesive one that's worthy of hanging in your fave boutique.

    Promising review: "These hangers are beautiful and functional, I just love them! They hold my clothes on the hanger to an extent I didn't think was possible. I can hang some of my sweaters and they don't get pulled out of shape because the velvet grips the fabric and the garment's weight is more gently distributed. I can't explain what a difference these made in my closet. Everything from tank tops to skirts to sweaters hangs beautifully on these. I use them exclusively; I threw out all my old plastic hangers. The rose gold color of the hooks is beautiful and gleams gently, adding some eye-catching sophistication to my closet. I like for my room to be pretty and photogenic, and these fit right in. I highly recommend them." —Campfire30

    Get a set of 30 from Amazon for $21.99+ (also available in a set of 50 and five colors).

    22. A coffee pod dispenser to help free up the chaotic drawer full of pods that you just blindly reach into and hope you pick out a good one. These are designed to stick right onto your coffee machine, wall, or anywhere else if you're looking to save more space.

    The two-row dispenser holds 10 coffee pods while the three-row option holds 15.

    Promising review: "Product works well. They have little sticky tabs on the back (like the tabs used for command hooks). Make sure to clean the surface well, and allow it to dry before you place them. There is an arrow on the back that tells you which side should be up. This really helps with storage. Now I don't have a separate storage container on my counter taking up space. I was able to get it in the same color as my machine which makes it look like my Keurig came that way." —Jaclyn

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in packs of two or three and in two colors).

    23. A reusable headache cap that uses compression and cooling effects to help quickly soothe your pain. Nothing can throw a wrench in your day like a gnarly headache, so put an end to it with this cap before it becomes debilitating.

    I have this and wow is it nice. I keep mine in the fridge and I'll grab it if I feel a headache coming on. One time I put it on and proceeded to take a nap and when I woke up the headache was completely gone. I have also used it while working/watching TV and in that case I just don't pull it down all the way so it won't cover my eyes. Honestly, I would use this even if I didn't have a headache because it just feels so soothing to have the cool compression on your head. Highly recommend if you are a frequent headache sufferer. 

    Promising review: "Love this product. The gel is comfortable when frozen so it doesn’t hurt to lay your head down. Most other masks only go across your eyes but this goes all the way around your head. Also the fact that the mask covers your eyes to block light is fantastic. If you have a ponytail the top is open to allow you to pull your hair through. I may consider purchasing a second one just so I always have one in the freezer ready to go!" —Lisa

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes, a one- or two-pack, and six colors).

    24. A cuticle oil made with Jojoba oil to deeply penetrate your dry cuticles and promote hydration and stronger nails. Gone are the days of worrying your nail will crack every time you hit it into something.

    Promising review: "I was honestly expecting to dislike this as much as I dislike all other cuticle oils I’ve tried…I don’t like greasy fingers that gunk up my phone and clothes. Well, I love this product. It’s super light, smells a bit sweet and a bit like almonds, dries super fast and isn’t goopy or greasy at all. Very easy to use. I’m trying to heal my nails after removing gel nails and after two weeks, they are definitely smoother and less dry/cracked." —BookLvr1986

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three quantities). 

    25. An under-cabinet lid opener for anyone who is tired of mustering up all their strength to open a jar of salsa!! Plus, this one is mounted under your cabinet so it's basically invisible and you won't have to worry about having *another* gadget taking up space on your countertop.

    Promising review: "Forgot to remove this from previous home so we are on our second device. Can't figure out how we never knew this existed. Mounting is simple, overall depth is shallow so that it is virtually undetectable from the counter. Simple old school construction (no moving parts) means that it will last a very long time. It has opened every single jar we have tried it on. Smart product at a smart price. I don't even try to open jars with my hands anymore......I just use this. You will not be sorry you purchased it." —Ron

    26. A cradle cap comb so you can gently and safely remove those flakes from your baby's head instead of finding yourself mindlessly picking at them.

    If you see this on your new baby's head, no need to worry! Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children’s and the American Academy of Dermatology.

    Promising review: "My daughter had bad cradle cap. Since it's just cosmetic, we initially thought it was a waste of money to buy a product like this. However, after a couple months it hadn't gone away, so we decided to spend $5. We were initially skeptical, but this product worked this a charm. We just rubbed some baby soap/shampoo onto her head, then rubbed this in circular motion on her head. We could see the scales sloughing off and my daughter didn't seem to mind at all. The first time we did it, it solved 90% of the problem, then we did it a few more times to get any last remaining scales. Since then, her cradle cap hasn't come back at all. Overall, definitely worth the money." —Kate

    Get it from Amazon for $4.19.

    27. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover that may as well be magic with how easily it can remove dried on stains from sweat, oil, deodorant, or whatever meal you may have spilled on yourself this time.

    Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 

    Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made with a portion of every purchase. 

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has this spray and says, "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)."

    Promising review: "I was reluctant to purchase a 'natural' stain remover, and I was surprised how great it works on ALL types of stains. My husband is a Greens Keeper on on our local golf course [he also hunts and brews beer]. Needless to say, he comes home with a huge variety of nearly impossible to get out stains on his clothes; from grease to grass stains, and everything in between. So, far, I have not had a stain that the Puracy Stain Remover (applied with a toothbrush) cannot tackle. It beats all the commercial stain removers, and I’ve tried them all. It also removes chocolate, blood, and tomato stains. One of the best cleaning products I’ve used." —Dee Marie

    Promising review: "I have a really bad habit of forgetting to unplug my hair straightener, but this little guy saves the day! I can now keep it plugged in and set this for one hour, which is plenty of time for the straightener to heat up and for me to straighten my hair. It saved me a lot of stress." —Tori Martinez

    29. Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller because let's be honest, you've been out and about before, seen your face in a mirror or reflection and genuinely asked yourself how your face looks so ✨shiny.✨ Well, now when that happens you can just whip this bad boy out of your purse and put an end to the shine immediately.

    This is better than the commonly used blotting sheets because it is reusable and you won't find a stash of used papers in the bottom of your purse after a weekend full of events.

    When it's time to clean, just pop out the little ball, rinse, and air dry.

    Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

    30. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier so you can stop pouring it into a makeshift tinfoil bowl in your sink's drain — where it lives for hours while it solidifies (anyone else? Can't just be me…). Just sprinkle the powder in while it's hot, let it cool, and easily dispose of it in the trash!

    Promising review: "I love these liners! I ordered the berry shade for fall and brown for every day/natural looks. These are creamy and don’t pull or tug on the delicate eyelid area, I had absolutely NO smudging, color payoff was perfect, smudgable to soften your lines if you work quickly or do one eye at a time, and removal was a breeze with an oil cleanser or balm. Best pencil liner I’ve ever tried! These also do not irritate my eyes. So glad I discovered Kulfi!" —Anna S.

    Each jar is good for up to 300 uses. To use, just grab a bit of gel, roll it into a ball, and stick it to the bottom of any item you'd like to protect. It's removable, reusable, and won't ruin your furniture. Plus, some reviewers say it's great for keeping things like cabinet and drawer liners from sliding around.

    Promising review: "I got this because we have several anime figures and Nintendo Amiibos we keep on our desks and TV stands. Our cats like to knock them off the table so I got this museum wax to help prevent that. It works fantastic and when we moved our figures around it was incredibly easy to remove and reapply. Additionally, a piece the size of a skittle is all you need for one figure, so it goes a long way and will be a long time before you ever run out." —Bryce

    33. A pack of over 100 light-dimming stickers because yes, those little dots of light are enough to keep you up at night — especially if they are flashing 😖

    The pack comes with a variety of shapes and sizes so you can dim anything from the annoying dot of light on your TV to the time on your alarm clock.

    Promising review: "If you are like me and have to cover up the random LED lights on an alarm clock or floor fan to prevent them from beaming into your retinas when you’re trying to sleep, I highly suggest picking these stickers up. Even though they’re opaque, they block enough light to where it’s no longer noticeable in the room. An added (and likely intentional) benefit of the opaque stickers is that you can still clearly see the power buttons and indicator lights of an electronic. Overall I totally recommend buying if you want to stop laying a random sock in front of your alarm clock light lol." —Heather

    34. A pack of sink extenders so you can stop breaking you back trying to lift those not-so-little kids up to wash their hands every time they go to the bathroom. Add hand washing to the list of things you don't have to get screamed at to help with anymore ✅.

    Promising reviews: "Must have for toddlers and small children! LOVE this! My 1- and 3-year-old love washing their hands now and my back gets a nice break. Adding the faucet extenders and a step stool to our bedtime/morning routine has been a godsend. Great bargain for the price." —TeaBea21

    "These are perfect to help our 2-year-old daughter reach the water when washing her hands. They fit all of our faucets and are so easy to install. Simple design, but really makes life easier. I would definitely buy again!" —Amazon Customer

    Promising reviews: "Yes. TikTok made me buy it. It’s awesome in my opinion. I use it for my fruit salads and my son's snacks. It’s helpful, and I think it saves a bit of time." —Amanda

    "We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong. It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...you wont regret it." —Michael

    36. A wine stain remover so you can finally actually enjoy drinking red wine with friends instead of sitting there anxiously waiting for someone to spill. 

    Works on both fresh and dry stains, with no need for bleach or phosphates. It also works on coffee, blood, ink, fruit punch, sauces, red medicine, and pet accidents. Plus, it has a fresh citrus scent! Can also be used on hard surfaces to remove latex paint, graffiti, and degrease surfaces.

    Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent. This takes care of any stain so fast and efficiently, it's become a party trick. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is to a friend once. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." —Melanie N

    37. A terra-cotta sugar-saver because your brown sugar is NOT in fact ruined just because it got all hard and clumpy. This adorable little guy will bring it back to life (and keep it that way!) and have you baking homemade cookies in no time.

    Just soak it in water for 20 minutes and place it in your sugar to soften and maintain moisture for approximately three to six months.

    Promising review: "I was nervous to try them in case they were a waste of money. Yesterday, I followed the directions, i.e. soaked them in water for 20 minutes, then plopped one each in containers of hard-as-concrete dark brown sugar and one of light brown sugar. I didn't dry them, just dropped them in on top. So today, I took the containers down and looked, and each container of formerly concrete-hard sugar was easy to measure out, no lumps, it's a miracle!" —NGS

    38. A set of bedsheet fasteners so you can stop waking up in the middle of the night frustrated that the fitted sheet isn't staying ~fitted~ to the mattress...AGAIN.

    Promising review: "These are a lifesaver! Tired of waking up with your fitted sheet halfway down the bed?? Then these are definitely for you. I was skeptical at first because I couldn’t figure out how they would work but let me tell you they are amazing. We have Walmart sheets that are SO soft but they fling right up when you lay on them, and these completely stopped that from happening. This is day four of peaceful sleep." —Christopher

    Promising review: "My first reaction was 'Why did I buy this?' because when I opened the box I wasn't too convinced by the way it looked. Then I gave it a try with a couple of shirts I had just washed, and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neatly, and easily. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. It's a must-try! I am in love with how beautiful it leaves my clothes." —Jesus Antonio Vedia
