1. A cacti brush set to take something so mundane and boring and transform it into an unbearably cute little set. No one will even know the cacti are actually a variety of convenient baby bottle cleaning brushes.
This set comes with a bottle brush, straw brush, nipple brush, and a detail brush that all sit within a cup and easy-drain container. Reviewers without toddlers in the house mention these are great at cleaning reusable straws and bottles!
Promising review: "I love this brush set! I needed something to clean my water bottle and other small glass things. They work like a charm and everyone thinks it’s so cute!" —Pearl
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
2. A skin spatula that can help remove blackheads and other gunk from your pores using high-frequency vibrations. This is something you see used during fancy spa facials, so obvi you should buy it and ~treat yourself~ at home
It may also help your skincare absorb better since your pores won't be clogged!
Promising review: "I was a little skeptical about purchasing and even using this device but my cousin convinced me otherwise and I’m forever hooked. This spatula is making my skin look clear in a matter of two weeks and I’m grateful. The product itself actually works and does what it says it’s going to do. Will definitely recommend to all my friends and would repurchased if needed." —Giselle

3. A manual food 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!
It's also dishwasher-safe (top rack only!) so cleanup is easy!
Promising review: "This magic little gizmo does exactly what the product info says it will do. It is fast, easy, safe, and super easy to clean up. Dice a whole onion in literally seven seconds. Just peel the onion, rough chop into quarters, put the lid on and pull the handle. The more pulls you do on it, the finer the dice gets. Just stop, look at your diced food, and see if you are finished or want to give it one or two more pulls. Just rinse with soap and warm water. Done. I've even taken a class in knife skills but I am famous for slicing one or more digits wide open every week. No more band-aids for me!! I've diced onions of all sorts, cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, celery, firm tomatoes, olives, potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and even bread for bread crumbs. You won't regret this purchase." —Bonnie
Get it from Amazon for $18.18+ (available in three colors).
4. A top-selling stain- and odor-eliminating spray to clean up those tough messes you've already used sooo many products on. Not only will this stuff get rid of the stain, but it will get rid of the smell…pet stains can be STANKY, iykyk.
PS — you can also use this on clothes and other surfaces like concrete and hardwood. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully for non-carpet use.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby family's pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.
Promising review: "PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!! My cat had kidney failure and was urinating all over in an apartment I used the black light to find the urine, which worked perfectly and then sprayed this on it. The second and I literally mean the very second this product hit the urine, it was gone. I was so impressed I could not even believe my eyes. Unbelievable but it works like a charm. This works on any urine — toddlers peeing outside potty accidentally? Try this!!! This is like magic, I cannot say enough amazing things about this. Anyone with a pet in an apartment, needs this NOW!!! Save yourself hundreds of dollars and buy this bottle. I love it that much that I'm taking all this time to write this review." —Greek Chic

5. An all-natural yoga mat spray because as much as you'd like to think wiping it down with a dry towel is enough…it's not. This non-toxic cleaner will help clean off all the sweat, footprints, and whatever other debris has been living on your mat for who knows how long. Now you can spend child's pose smelling delicious citrus instead of stinky feet.

Promising review: "This spray arrives and performs exactly as advertised. It smells great and works effectively to clear my mat of any grime I bring home from the studio floor. I have used it for both deep cleaning and a quick mat wipe-down after class. My mat has never looked or smelled better. I look forward to trying more products from this small, woman-owned boutique.

7. A black car scratch remover for helping get rid of all the reminders of the times you banged into your garage, hit a pole, or side-swiped your mailbox. And this is seriously cheaper than heading to an auto shop, so it's definitely worth a try.
Promising review: "Easy to apply with a little elbow grease. Does a very good job removing swirls and light scratches. I used the black/dark paint version and it worked very well on my Kia Stinger. Left a nice polished looking surface and filled in the small imperfections. It even improved a deep scratch I had on the side and made it less visible. It completely removed a mark where a rubber bike handle had rubbed against the car and dulled the paint. Works as advertised and is really pretty easy to apply." —AudioJunkie
Get it from Amazon for $24.97.
8. A cruelty-free vitamin C serum designed to help brighten, soften, and fade hyperpigmentation so you feel good in your skin. And if that's not enticing enough, go ahead and peruse the over 90,000 (!!!!) five-star ratings for all the good things they have to say.
Promising review: "Works as advertised. I find it makes the dark marks disappear much quicker after a breakout. I bought this for mild under eye wrinkles and have definitely seen the difference. Been using it for two months or so and now it's part of my holy grail products. I also noticed that I have had less breakouts since I started using this product." —M. Russell
Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).
9. A box of cleaning K-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. And it's just as easy as making a cup of coffee!
Promising review: "I liked these because they were quick, easy to use, and worked as advertised. One run through and then one rinse and all done. Keurig works good again." —Beril Kruger
Get a box of six pods from Amazon for $9.95.
10. A clip-on lamp shade adapter for anyone who wants to upgrade their grungy lampshade but still keep the base….or maybe you found a gorgeous lamp shade but there's no harp. This will help you make those design changes with ease.
Promising review: "Exactly as advertised. Nice product. It does exactly what they said it would do. It holds the shade firmly in place and it saves a great deal of extra work like to adding a harp, etc. Could not be happier with it." —Bob White
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in a two-pack and two colors).
11. A heavy-duty grout cleaner because why pay for a professional to come clean your grout when you could use a professional cleaner yourself for waayyyy cheaper? The included brush makes it easy to rub away stuck-on grease and grime and reveal the actual color of your grout you might not even remember the last time you saw.
Promising review: "I was almost disappointed. I have used every method found on YouTube, every blog, some other products that claim multipurpose including grout cleaning, and I am NOT getting on my hands and knees with a tool the size of a toothbrush 🤬! But this product performed as advertised. The reason I was almost disappointed. When I applied the product, lightly scrubbed, waited 12 mins, then deep scrubbed...the grout looked the same. Ohhhh I almost cried. I sat down for 30 minutes, came back to clear away tools, and WOW I saw the difference. The package says to see full results wait until dry. I missed that. Ohhh jumping for joy. I’m ordering more to finish other areas. This time I will clean the floors first, wait till dry, apply this, then clean up the residue with clean mop head and plain water." —Jessica M. Nix
Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in versions with a brush as well).
12. A pack of food spikes so you can become that ~successful~ plant parent you've always dreamt of being. You can finally stop worrying about whether or not your plants are getting the nourishment they need — just one spike can feed your plant continuously up to 60 days.
13. An adorable octopus-shaped blackhead remover that can fit into all the weird crevices on your face to help exfoliate away anything that you can't reach with any of your other tools (or tbh fingernails). Plus, look how stinking cute this is, why wouldn't you want to have this little guy be part of your beauty routine??
Promising review: "As other reviews mention, you have to remove the top layer first before you get to the salt-like texture. Then, follow the instructions a couple times a week. The amount looks deceptively small but lasts a lot longer than you would think. The smell is pleasant and faint. I have sensitive and oily skin and have found the product to do as advertised." —Karen S.
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
14. A denture cleaner because if you're actually following your dentist's instructions of wearing it every day, you'll know no matter how much you brush them, they get coated in some nasty film and turn yellow. These fizzing tablets will eliminate that from even the hard-to-reach areas, while also eliminating that funky smell they've developed.
Promising review: "This worked extremely well with both a retainer and a night guard. The process is really simple and soaking them for 15 minutes removes the discoloration that has built up over time. I like the individually wrapped tablets so I can take them with me when I am traveling again. The mint flavor is ever so slight after soaking and rinsing them. I have not tried any other cleaner other than brushing, but, these work as advertised and I am very happy with finding this product." —Keith
Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $17.19+ (also available as 240 tablets).
15. A shelf liner with locking tabs to make sure you don't lose your small snacks or secret candy stash through the grates making question everything OR blaming your partner for eating them (even though you probably have a whole stash in the back corner of the floor in your pantry).
Promising review: "Works as advertised. Creates a smooth shelf with no need to worry about falling debris from one shelf to the other. Great product!" —Informed consumer
Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $17.25.
16. A grooming rake that'll help you to the deepest levels of fur and undercoat on your furbaby. It's specifically designed for doggos with thick, dense fur or double coats, and it can help prevent future matting!
Promising review: "We own, or should I say are owned, by two large breed dogs: a Newfoundland and a Pyrenees. We prefer a rake to help get those undercoats brushed out and it allows us to slowly work any knots out. Our last one had cracked during a move and eventually the brush had pulled out so we needed a new one. We have no complaints about this product and it does exactly what it is supposed to." —Dana S
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
17. Or a grooming glove for all those pets who do *not* like to be brushed. Now you can trick them into thinking they are just getting some of their favorite pats, when really you're getting all that fur that would otherwise be embedded into your carpet.
Promising reviews: "My kitty has really long fur. I bought this because I know she doesn't like traditional brushes and loves to be petted. This thing works like a charm! I brush her about once a week and this thing is magic. Super easy to use, she thinks I'm just petting her. It's got an elastic band to keep it tight on your hand. when it comes to cleaning, it can be a little tricky but if you pull down along each finger and then grab at the palms it comes off fairly easily. I will definitely be buying one for my aunt and her cats." —Jenny Hahn
"Solid product, great materials and thoughtfully designed. Most importantly - IT WORKS AS ADVERTISED! Just put on the glove and you are ready to go. First time I was able to take three large balls of hair off of my golden lab. And more importantly, he loved the attention and the nice scratch of the back! If you are looking for a really easy to use hair control product for your pooch - this is the one you want to buy!" —Doug K
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
18. A pack of low-waste dishwasher detergent pods because what is the point of a dishwasher if you have to still pre-rinse your dishes before putting them in?! These will make sure your dishes come out clean, every time.
Dropps is a Philadelphia-based biz founded by Jonathan Propper that produces powerful cleaning pods and solutions locally in the United States with eco-responsible packaging and transparent ingredient lists.
Promising review: "Absolutely no plastic packaging and it works like a charm. LOVE this stuff and reordered a larger box after I used up my first order." —S. Boyme
Get a 32-pack from Amazon for $12.38+ (available in three scents and three quantities).
19. A pair of copper-infused compression sleeves for some extra arch support that *won't* limit your range of motion. Slide it on just like a sock, and they'll help relieve heel and arch pain caused by many issues from bunions to plantar fasciitis.
And (like socks) you can toss them in the wash when they start to smell a little funky.
Promising review: "Worked as advertised. I had really bad pain for a few weeks. Within two days of wearing these, the pain was mostly gone. I use them during the day, very comfortable. Worth the investment." —mrgadget
Get a pair from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors).
20. A breathable weighted blanket made from cooling bamboo modal so you can have the calming effects and hug-like sensation of a weighted blanket year-round, without worrying about overheating.
Comma is a small biz made with homebodies in mind. Their home goods are created for optimate relaxation and they use eco-friendly materials whenever possible.
Promising review: "Other weighted blanket was very heavy, and way too warm for summer. Wanted something airier and lighter. This has worked like a charm. Looks good. Well made and seems likely to be durable. A good choice." —Pam
Get it from Comma for $65+ (originally $149; available in two weights and two colors).
21. A hair-strengthening Mielle rosemary mint scalp and hair oil that BLEW UP on TikTok, for a good reason. This blend of over 30 essential oils and nutrients can be used every day or as a preventative treatment to help soothe sensitive skin and add extra ✨ shine ✨ to your luscious hair.
Promising reviews: "This is my fifth bottle of his hair oil and it is my favorite thing! I have fine blonde hair that’s oily after a day, two if I’m lucky. I was really worried that when I started using oil that it would be impossible to get it out of my hair, but this washes right out with about two scrubs with regular shampoo. My hair is definitely growing and it’s incredibly soft after I use this oil." —Taylor & Holly
"I have type 4c hair and due to braids and weaves my edges were breaking. My stylist recommended this product and I must say it works. My edges are slowly coming back." —Customer PS
Get it from Amazon for $8.85.
22. A concentrated allergen spray you just add water to in order to create a concoction that will help reduce airborne and surface allergens from pets, mites, and more! If only there was a spray to get rid of the rest of life's problems. 🤔
Allergy Asthma Cleaning Store is a family-owned business making safe cleaning goods for the whole family. If you suffer from pet allergies, it's recommended you spray this daily. For dust mite allergies, try three times a week.
Promising review: "I am honestly and simply amazed by this product. It lived up to all it promoted. The true test was a long visit from my daughter who is highly allergic to my cat. Typically the visits are cut short due to constant sneezing or drowsiness from allergy medication. I’m sooo pleased to say she spent hours at my house Christmas Eve and never sneezed once. I spray often and especially before her arrival. Works like a charm!" —Di
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
23. A garbage disposal cleaner that is SO easy to use. Just throw one down the drain, run some water and the disposal, and watch the blue foam come up, cleaning out all the gunk and grime from all the dinner recipes you've been testing.
Promising review: "Easy and effective. Works as advertised. I was pleasantly surprised by this product. My disposal had been accumulating a very smelly residue since it was installed over a year ago. With a single application, this easy-to-use foaming packet cleaned the residue and eliminated the odor. It didn't use any strong fragrance to mask the smell but rather left behind a pleasant, barely noticeable lemon scent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." —VideoFan
Get a bag (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.78.
24. A microfiber hair-drying towel to help your hair dry faster without frizz or heat damage! Talk about a dry-namite product.
Promising reviews: "As advertised! Worth it. Really does suck more water from hair. Seems gentler than my regular towel. Plus it stays in place!" —RYZ
"This is great!!! I always hate having the towel fall off my head, plus a normal towel is actually damaging for your hair. This just works so well, stays on, and reduces frizz. I had to buy a few more because I love it so much. Seriously, everyone with hair past your ears needs this." —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $6.89+ (available in five colors).
25. A pair of cactus-shaped dryer balls, which are SO dang cute *and* incredibly helpful for making sure your clothes and bedsheets dry evenly and completely.
Promising review: "I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but these things work. It used to take three cycles to dry my comforter and bed sheets. I'm one of those set-it-and-forget-it people, so I'd always forget to turn the dryer back on for round two and three, which meant that at midnight, I'd remember the sheets and comforter were still in the dryer, undoubtedly damp because I didn't run them through the dryer another two times. So I finally bought these puppies and as usual, I dried the comforter and bed sheets once and forgot to check on them. That night, my husband asked where our sheets were since they weren't on the bed at bedtime. Then he groaned and asked if I remembered to really dry them. So I checked the dryer and lo and behold, they were dry! I have actually remembered to check the dryer once after drying the bed sheets and they were dry as soon as the first cycle was over. So, it's a miracle. These things work. Tl;dr: I'm bad at laundry; these make me good." —Gabby
Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.05.
26. A roll of double-sided carpet tape so you can stop having the daily fight with that one stupid corner of your carpet that refuses to stay down no matter what you do!! 😡 Reviewers love how well this tape sticks and even stands up to rambunctious kids and pets.
Promising review: "We have long runners in our ramps to prevent slipping. The runners are constantly sliding down and have to be readjusted. Sometimes the dogs' paws catch on the end and the runners curl up. I tried double-sided tape to hold the rug in place but it didn't work at all. I was looking for anti-slip strips when I saw this tape. I was skeptical but took a chance. SHAZAM! This tape works as advertised! Our runners have not budged since installing this carpet tape on both ends of them." —Sunflower
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in three quantities).
27. A pack of ethylene gas-absorbing produce bags to help you keep your produce fresh longer because that stuff is ~expensive~ and we are NOT about to waste half of it because it got all mushy. These bags work by helping absorb ethylene gas fruits and veggies emit, which helps slow down the decomposition process.
Promising review: "These bags really work as advertised. I use these to keep bananas ripe for several days. I have used them for several years and they are one of the best items I have ever used. Do not hesitate to purchase them, they are well worth the small price!" —mom
Get a pack of 30 gallon-size bags from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a pack of 60 or 90).
28. A set of Wad-Free pads 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?).
Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.
Promising review: "I was very skeptical to purchase this item! It works exactly as advertised! My sheets dried perfectly and in half the time as normal. No bunching or rolling into a ball! Highly recommend this product!👍🏻❤️" —DA
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a set of four).
29. A miracle-working Migraine Stick for people who frequently suffer from headaches, but don't love poppin' Advil every time they come up. This blend of peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils will help soothe the pain so you can go about your business.
Promising review: "I hate swallowing pills and they often don't do anything when I have a migraine or headache coming on, so I gave the migraine stick a try. This stuff is MAGICAL. It smells nice, is easy to take everywhere (doesn't leak), easy to apply, and works like a CHARM. My headache/migraines are either gone within minutes or the pain is relieved enough that I can fall asleep and sleep it off. It's 100% worth it. Buy this!!!" —Madison J.

30. A sugar-softening brown bear 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.
Promising review: "I couldn't believe how well this worked. A classic problem of bakers everywhere: hardened brown sugar when you pull it from the cupboard. Yes, there are hacks to soften it again, but wouldn't it be great if it stayed the right consistency from the get-go? Enter the brown sugar bear. As long as you're keeping your sugar in an air-tight container, it will stay perfectly soft for weeks. I usually pull the bear out and re-soak it every two months or so." —CRose84
Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.25 (also available as a set of three).
31. A pack of Avarelle Acne Cover Patches to help reduce the appearance (and pain 😅) of those pesky zits that always seem to pop up at the most inconvenient times. Just take a patch, stick it on the pimple, and peel it off a few hours later to marvel at the results.
Promising review: "Works as advertised, great for sensitive skin. This has been amazing. I bought it for my daughter and she shared it with her boyfriend. They are both under 20. They experienced results overnight reducing painful red pimple starting. I will continue to buy these for the kids because the results were hands-down amazing. And my daughter has very sensitive skin." —Tonja Scofield
Get a pack of 40 patches from Amazon for $8.49.
32. A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating eye cream with powerful, deep hydration to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. This cruelty-free and vegan cream is infused with vitamin C, vitamin E, rose hip seed oil, and hibiscus flower extract to help brighten and firm your skin.
33. A drain clog remover that will make it ~incredibly~ obvious why your tub is taking forever to drain. Fair warning: if this is the first time you're even attempting to unclog your drain, prepared to be disgusted (and maybe even kinda impressed?).
Promising review: "I tried to unclog my sink with drain cleaner...lots of money down the drain and it didn’t work. In less than a minute, I unclogged my bathroom sink with this inexpensive orange little snake! I just slipped the snake all the way down the drain, twisted it around, and pulled out a mass of hair and gunk. Instant draining. The snake is very long and went deep into the pipe. The snake can also be cleaned and reused, if you don’t mind pulling off the debris. If not, just toss and use the others that come in the package at a later time. It’s so rare to find products that work as advertised. This clever tool saved me money and the hassle of taking apart the pipes or calling a plumber. I highly recommend." —Lil' Lulu
