    64 Practical Things Under $15 To Help Get 2023 Off To A Strong Start

    A long-lasting eye shadow base, under-bed storage containers to banish clutter, a super effective pet hair remover, and other things you'll want in your life in 2023.

    1. An S-shaped hanger ingeniously designed for pants, scarves, and towels so you can stop struggling to make them work with standard hangers when they just won't. These'll help you get your closet under control in 2023!

    Promising review: "These pants hangers were exactly what I was hoping they would be. They are extremely sturdy (a little heavy but not too heavy), they hold my pants in place, give my closet that extra space I desperately needed, and due to the S shape, you can quickly see what is on the entire hanger without having to move things around. I will also mention that they were packaged probably better than any other thing I've every received. The care and time it took to package them that well was incredible. I would clearly buy again and plan to. :)" —Colleen Noyes

    2. An adorable octopus-shaped blackhead remover that'll be your new main squeeze this year. All you have to do is simply massage it onto your damp skin in a circular motion, and it'll gently, but effectively, pull out whiteheads, blackheads, and other pore-clogging ickies all on its own.

    it has over 5,000 5-star ratings!

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, and it smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

    3. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser brilliantly created to store bread in a more airtight way than just keeping it in the bag. Now your bread will stay fresh for longer! Plus, it cleverly makes it easy to dispense slices one by one, and protects bread from getting all smushed up.

    Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

    Promising review: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product. It left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." —Therese-Claire

    Get it from Amazon for $7.72.

    Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do with this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT

    Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle Gill

    Get it from Amazon for $5.23+ (available individually or as a pair).

    9. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets that'll take the guesswork out of using your favorite kitchen appliance, and easily avoid winding up with over- and under-cooked food.

    Promising review: "Bought an air fryer several months ago which I haven't used a whole lot because it came with only a few recipes but not enough info on other items to cook. The Lotteli cheat sheet gives you cooking times and temperatures for a lot of your common everyday foods in a magnetized easy-to-read, two-sheet combo that fills in where air fryer pamphlet that came with the unit leaves out. I also bought an air fryer cookbook but this only comes with specific recipes, whereas the cheat sheet fills in the void for quick basic needs. Very happy with this purchase! 😁" —B. Frank Smith

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors, multipacks, and a Spanish-language version). 

    10. A strangely fun-to-use universal cleaning putty — it'll get to those nearly impossible-to-reach nooks and crannies in your keyboard, car vents, printer, and other appliances where dust and crumbs have been steadily building up.

    Promising review: "This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn’t last, just when it’s out of the container!" —Loren

    Get it from Amazon for $6.88.

    11. A jar of O'Keeffe's hand cream to help anyone dealing with dried and cracked hands that are *begging* for relief, especially during the winter.

    Promising review: "Every winter, my fingers and knuckles crack and bleed. I've tried everything on the market to heal my hands. I received this hand cream yesterday and when I put it on, I could tell right away that this was better than anything I'd tried. This stuff started working immediately. I filled all the cuts and cracks on my hands with this cream, and today they are almost healed. I believe that this is the best hand cream ever made on earth." —Steve

    Get it from Amazon for $8.48 (also available in packs of 2 and 12).

    12. A tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Base because you didn't spend time putting on eye makeup in the morning only for it to be all smudged, faded, and creased by the time the afternoon rolls around. This stuff'll help enhance and lock in your eyeshadow, keeping it vibrant and in place all day long!

    It's cruelty-free!

    Promising review: "I have tried so many things. Concealer, various eyelid primers (E.l.f., Urban Decay, etc.) and special eyeshadows that are supposedly crease-proof, nothing worked. I had given up using eyeshadow until this came into my life. I have to say I was skeptical. I didn't think this stuff would work, but it does. I put a tiny amount on my lids, wait a couple minutes for it to dry down, then put powder, cream, or pencil eyeliners over it, and then nothing budges all day. Seriously. I can wear eyeshadow again. Love this stuff!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $13.75.

    13. Some washing machine cleaning tablets you just have to run through a cycle to clean your machine and get rid of all the gross stuff making your clothes smell funky even after they come out of the wash.

    Promising review: "I purchased with skepticism, but after using them I am pleasantly surprised. I LOVE this product!! Our laundry used to come out smelling WORSE than before I washed it. I thought I needed to buy a new washing machine. NO!!! I used two tabs initially (two different wash cycles), then use one a month for maintenance. My clothes always come out smelling fresh and clean! What a miracle, money-saving product. Only wish I’d known about them sooner!" —Ashley

    Get a box of three tablets from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in packs of five and six).

    Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one because of the alcohol consumption. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this! I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey

    Get it from Amazon for $8.97.

    15. A laundry hamper you can hang on the door to help keep your floor free of dirty towels, clothes, and space-hogging laundry baskets.

    Promising review: "Very convenient. I'd been looking for new laundry baskets to keep in my bathroom so my family didn't just throw clothes into a pile on the floor. There isn't a lot of floor space in there, so I was looking for a tall narrow basket and found these. They are great. I put one on the back of the door and one hanging from a towel rack and labeled one for light colors and, without even asking, my family has been putting their clothes in the correct bin, and I just need to unzip and let the clothes fall into the laundry basket and they are ready to go into the wash. I really like them." —D. Jelte

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors and packs of two).

    16. liquid callus remover designed to make your feet feel like they were completely reborn without having to shell out for a pedicure. Some reviewers say this works even better!

    Promising review: "I found an article on BuzzFeed that mentioned how much customers loved this product. I was very skeptical at first because I’ve tried so many products and techniques to repair my extremely cracked heels. I decided to give this product a go since it wasn’t very expensive. AMAZING. I am speechless. I wish I had taken photos before to show what an extreme difference it has made in just one application. It was safe on my skin, but I would use with caution after reading reviews of skin burn, however this product is the first product that does exactly what it claims to do. I will continue to use. And I’m not embarrassed to go to the nail salon anymore! :P" —K.H.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.87.

    Promising review: "It was always a pain to reach down the side of my bed to reach my chargers, not to mention the wad of cables I’d have to sift through just to charge my phone. I finally searched for a solution and came across these. They’re great! They’re really easy to stick on and they stay in place. I haven’t had an issue of them falling off. Whenever I need to charge a device they’re right next to me, easy to reach and untangled. I definitely recommend!" —Nurse Nelis

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $7.97.

    19. A roll of adhesive weather stripping — it'll keep stealthy and, quite frankly, uninvited cold air from sneaking in through the cracks in your doors and windows. It's easy to install and will probably help keep your utilities bill from going through the roof this winter.

    You'll get two seals (totaling 16 feet) that are 9 millimeters thick.

    Promising reviews: "Just received and installed. Quick and easy to install. One roll split in two covers one standard doorway. It works great at keeping the cold draft out. Stopped it completely. I’ll be using the other roll to fill gaps around a couple of window AC units. I would recommend this to friends and family." —Amazon Customer

    "I recently bought an older house where all the windows are out of square. These strips have filled the gaps. I have no doubt that my next electric bill will be significantly lower after applying these to all my windows." —Nolan

    Get a two-pack of 33-foot-long rolls from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in four colors and two sizes).

    20. A powerful, but gentle silicone paw cleaner here to make cleaning your pet's cute lil' feets a lot less of a hassle. Just add water, insert filthy paws, give 'em a little twist, and dab till dry! No scrubbing, no pain, and no more dirt, mud, sand, ice melt, and other grime getting tracked around your otherwise spotless home this winter. Sounds like a win-win!

    Promising review: "UPDATE: I’ve been using this for a few weeks, and I love it. It cleans the salt off my dogs’ paws so easily. When it’s super dirty and the streets are covered in salt, I’ll refresh the water supply. I add a few drops of their doggie shampoo, and it works great.

    I have four dogs in NYC. I have to wash their feet after every walk because the streets are so filthy. It would take me about 10–15 min to clean their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now it takes about five minutes. And the towel doesn’t end up filthy. The dirt gets caught in the cup. Plus the dogs seem to like it. The silicone bristles must feel good. A huge thumbs-up!" —Sandra

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).

    21. Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit that'll make it easy peasy to remove the year's worth of crud stuck to your stove top that you've been staring at, hoping it'll magically disappear one day.

    It comes with a bottle of cleaner, a scraper, and a cleaning pad.

    Promising review: "I love my glass stovetop, but it is so hard to keep clean and looking nice! Pretty much every time I cook on it, a pot boils over or splatters and leaves the glass looking nasty. Having tried other cleaners in the past without much success, I was skeptical about this one. With so many good reviews, I figured I'd give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. The combination of the scrubby pad and cleaning product and the razor blade knife got rid of all the baked on residue! This is by far the most effective cleaning product I have found for my glass stove!" —Alyssa

    Get it from Amazon for $13.14.

    22. Some Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes to ~miraculously~ nourish and save even the plants you thought were goners for sure.

    Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season. 

    Promising review: "An essential. I absolutely adore this product. When I first got my coleus plants, I seriously thought it was going to die in less than a week. I was searching on Google for a quick fix and I came across these plant food sticks. I honestly didn’t think it was going to help, but my plant is amazing now. I just stuck it In the soil and watered it regularly, and two weeks later it was ready to move into a bigger pot. It is growing it is beautiful, it is a vibrant — every positive word you can think of basically. Thank you so much, Miracle-Gro, for turning me into a green thumb." —suttonkae

    Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $2.98 (also available in larger packs).

    23. A bottle of natural nail and cuticle repair oil that helps soften cuticles and strengthen nails when used daily.

    Promising review: "I have peeling, brittle, difficult nails. I've tried everything out there to fix my nails, from oils, polishes, and creams, to medications and supplements and nothing worked. I was skeptical about this oil, but it really is a miracle. I apply once or twice a day, and my nails no longer peel or break. I saw results within about five days. My nails look and feel much healthier and a little goes a long way. I don't smell anything when I use the oil and it absorbs quickly, unlike other oils I've tried." —Mary

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four sizes).

    24. A set of bedsheet suspenders so when you wake up, your fitted sheets are still in place and looking neat and tidy, instead of slipping off the corners and getting all tangled up with your blankets.

    Promising review: "I was kinda skeptical at first but once I put these into my bedsheets...OMG. These are a must have for anyone who has loose sheets or an ill-fitting mattress pad + memory foam on my mattress. I used to wake up because of rumpled sheets/mattress pad lumps. These are SO easy to install and grip both my sheets and mattress pad to keep everything nice and taught!" —watrskiergurl

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    26. Some Command hooks — they're strong enough to hold a wide variety of items and require *no tools* to install. Plus, you can move or remove them whenever you want without leaving behind any damage or annoying sticky residue. Now you can use your walls to reduce clutter!

    Promising review: "Absolutely love these! I have bought them three times already on Amazon. I have been trying to organize my kitchen utensils. I have minimal counter space and ceramic tile walls behind my counter. I am unable to risk drilling into the tile or to the underside of my cabinets. These sticky hooks are perfect!! They adhere to the tile AND to the wood laminate of my upper cabinets. They also are great on the painted wall and the bumpy side of my refrigerator. I started using these around March of 2020 and I have not had a single one fall down. I have various sizes of kitchen utensils and items hanging from them." —Tigerakp

    Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $11.47.

    You can totally use it with another cleaner or spray if you want, but it seems like reviewers have success without! It just takes some elbow grease.

    Promising review: "I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying a gray-colored shoe once I got them dirty. Luckily I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use, straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this. Since you invest so much in those shoes you might as well keep them nice and clean!" —Celeste

    Promising review: "I gotta say this is the best sharpener I ever bought in my whole life. I got it today and brought it to work. I work at a Japanese restaurant as a sushi chef and I sharpened it at work and, wow, my knife was as sharp as a samurai sword! Even my coworkers were surprised and asked me to order one for them. Thanks for the product ! Now I don't have to use the stone or sharpen rod that much anymore." —Are

    Promising review: "I’m in love with this brush. For someone who used to spend anywhere between 6–12+ hours detangling my 4c Z-pattern hair, I literally can get my hair detangled in 30 minutes or less. And my hair is like a fluffy cloud afterwards. If you don’t already have this brush, you’re honestly missing out. 10/10 recommend." —Dee

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors).

    30. A set of silicone stove counter gap covers so you can stop dropping bits of food into that tiny crevice between the stove and countertop that you *never* clean — because that's how you get uninvited critters treating your apartment like their own personal buffet. Now you can tell them the kitchen's closed!

    The covers just slip right into the gap — there's no adhesive involved — so you can easily remove and clean them whenever necessary.

    Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now, when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom

    31. An oil mister because no one feels like ending up with greasy hands every time they dress a salad or do a little cooking.

    Promising review: "This is a great item for lightly spraying salads, roasting vegetables, or adding some oil to a prepared plate of pasta. Avoids using more oil than necessary so that’s a savings right there. I also use it to put a light coating of oil on all my cast-iron cookware to prevent rust. Best of all, it looks great on the dinner table. Lots of uses which really makes it an asset in the kitchen. It seems that it should last a while so I think it is worth the few bucks spent." —Clancy

I will definitely be stocking up." —I & S. Stark

    Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth it was not very effective. The second time I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass, and it turned out beautiful just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP

    Promising reviews: "Must admit I had my doubts but these things are MAGIC! I had some brown sugar in an airtight container which had hardened like a rock. I decided to order these as a Hail Mary. I soaked the bear as instructed and placed it inside the same airtight container. Within 10–15 minutes the top layer of the sugar has begun to soften but the next day the whole jar was loose, easily scoop-able brown sugar! I couldn't believe it! I will be buying more as gifts. Totally worth it!" —M.A.G.

    35. An enzyme-based Puracy laundry stain remover because it just might bring your fave top back to life after the stain you thought ruined it completely.

    Promising review: "I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts, and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) 

    The only thing close is a long pre-soak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).

    36. Or a coconut-based laundry stain pre-treat stick — you just rub it on any dampened fabric and throw in the wash to get rid of stains without having to tediously hand wash beforehand.

    37. An essential-oil migraine stick reviewers say helps relieve the pain from migraines and headaches. It's perfect for those moments when you'd rather not rely on prescription meds, but still need something to take the edge off.

    Promising review: "Very impressed with this product, and honestly I didn't think I would be. As a lifelong migraine/headache sufferer, not a whole lot has worked for me other than prescription meds-which I really don't like to take too often but need to because my headaches are incapacitating most of the time. I recently used the roll-on and within 10–15 minutes my headache was gone. It started to come back last night before bed, and used it again and again it took it away. Now, I knew it wasn't going to be a migraine headache — they feel different when they come on, but for a regular headache this worked wonderfully! I still might use the prescription for a migraine, probably in conjunction with this, as it really is soothing and nice." —carrie

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    38. A tiny outlet shelf perfect for storing an electric toothbrush, your glasses, or any other odds and ends that need a home. It installs just like a regular outlet cover, and you just might find yourself wanting one in every room.

    FYI, it can also be installed so the shelf is below the outlet.

    Promising review: "I was very skeptical about this one, I had it in my cart for a while and just couldn’t get myself to order it. Once I did and I received it, I was so happy I did. I will be ordering more now. It adds an extra storing space. My laundry room is very limited so any added storing is key! I use it for my dryer sheets. I’ll be ordering another to store a small trash bin for lint from the dryer. I’m thinking about also adding these around the house for other things. So easy to install, takes literally less than two minutes." —Hazel Vera

    Get it from Amazon for $12.87 (available in four colors and multipacks).

    39. A set of Keurig cleaning cups if your machine is getting grimy after all the hot beverages it's been in charge of this winter. Simply pop one of these cups into your Keurig just like you're making a normal cup of coffee. Then, all you have to do is brew one large cycle with the cleaner pod, and one or more with just water (depending on how dirty it is in there), and you're done! Before you go replacing the whole thing, give these a try first!

    In the reviewer image above on the right, the first cup is after running the cleaning pod (GROSS!) and then the cup on the right is after three rinse cycles!

    Promising review: "I give 5 stars!! These were really quick and clean... and easy!! So happy to have found these. My machine needed it bad. I use my Keurig every day and recently noticed how dirty the needle was getting and the coffee was starting to taste 'off.' Will definitely start a routine cleaning with these cups! Made a huge difference." —Reggie Gonzalez

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as a pack of 12).

    40. A self-adhesive paper towel holder you can easily mount on the wall or under a cabinet — all without breaking out the drill! Now that giant roll of paper towels won't be constantly taking up valuable counter space. (There's also hardware included if you'd rather use that, but reviewers say the adhesive is super sturdy)!

    Promising review: "I love this paper towel holder. I adhered it to the underside of my cabinet, and it has held up great so far. Another plus is that it gets the paper towels off of the counter and saves space." —leslie

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five finishes).

    41. Some under-bed storage containers for holding all of the things that are usually piled on your bed or draped over your chair...because they have nowhere else to go.

    You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.

    Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn

    42. pumice stone toilet bowl scrubber because nothing says ~new year new you~ like a *sparkling* toilet. This makes removing stubborn stains — no one's favorite job to begin with — a heck of a lot faster and easier so you can spend as little time face-to-face with your throne as humanly possible. It also works great on tubs, sinks, tile, and other porcelain and ceramic surfaces that are no fun to clean without this helpful tool.

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy this. This thing literally scoured away hard-water stains that I have been trying to get rid of for years in less than 30 seconds. 10/10 recommend." —Tleary25

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available as a pack of two or four).

    43. Some nonsticky rosewater and glycerin toner to help banish acne and minimize pores while hydrating your skin. It works great on all skin types and is vegan as well as paraben- and cruelty-free.

    Beauty Strike is a Brooklyn-based small business founded by Emani Mone Jeter, a third-generation beauty professional and licensed aesthetician. She creates natural cleansers, toners, treatments, moisturizers, and more that are recyclable.

    Here's why former BuzzFeed writer Christine Forbes loves this toner:

    "My skin was about as tight as Kim K's Mugler dress when I decided to switch to this toner. It's nonirritating, and I love that the spray bottle doesn't require me to touch my face." 

    Get it from Beauty Strike for $14+ (available in two sizes).

    44. A *loooooooooooong* vacuum hose attachment capable of reaching those hard-to-reach spaces behind the stove, fridge, couch, and laundry machines that you know are getting grosser and grosser the longer you avoid them. It's also great for cleaning out your dryer vent so it doesn't get clogged with lint — which makes for longer drying times, higher utility bills, and even dangerous fires. Skip all that hassle by simply attaching this hose to your vacuum and letting it do all the hard work!

    reviewer photo of the blue vacuum attachment with accumulated dust
    Reviewer image of the vacuum hose attachment going into a dryer

    This hose adapter fits on most vacuum cleaners (except for some Dysons), and some reviewers have even found socks they thought were gone forever after this thing pulled them out of their lint traps!

    Promising review: "This thing is seriously amazing. I figured out how to use it very quickly and it worked like a charm. I had a sock stuck way down in my vent and would've had no idea! I still can't believe how much lint and dust came out of my dryer. My husband is already talking about other uses for this unique tool, like getting into tight spaces in our cars." —J. Johnson

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in five colors).

    45. A mindblowingly brilliant Whiskware pancake batter mixer because making batter doesn't have to be a pain. Just add your ingredients, toss in the BlenderBall, shake, and pour the mixture out of the convenient spout designed to make it easy to drop the perfect amount out and even draw shapes or patterns.

    All parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe!

    Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Breakfast has never been faster or easier! And it doesn't make noise that will wake everyone up while I am mixing. The silicone tip is real silicone (for those wondering about the pinch test) and does well against cast-iron. I have never been able to get my pancakes this fluffy until now! So great! Planning on buying more from this brand! It is also super easy to clean. The bottom comes off to fill it up and it turns into a holder for the bottle by setting the top into the bottom setting. It suggests putting in your liquid first then your mix but if making a large amount you might have to gently tap it a bit." —KC Hunter

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    46. A hydrating intense-therapy lip balm reviewers say is faster *and* more effective than other brands. Not only will it help quickly repair your chapped lips, but it'll also help protect them from the sun, wind, and extreme temps so you can kiss bleeding and cracks goodbye!

    Promising review: "I have tried many lip gloss and lip treatments. Nothing has ever work as well as this product. I was very skeptical when purchasing it because I had tried so many other products but I'm telling you the truth you will not be disappointed. I start seeing my lips improve the first night I tried it" —Kerrii S.

    Get it from Amazon for $8 (available in six flavors and packs of three).

    47. A pack of Bottle Bright tablets to make your gunky, stained tumbler look and smell brand-new, no scrubbing required!

    Promising review: "I keep two stainless-steel mugs at work, and they rotate between tea, water, and occasionally coffee. I'm good about washing them, but they had still developed a thin, tea-colored patina. I didn't think there'd be much of a difference after using these tablets (I really bought them for a coworker whose mug is thick with stains), but WOW! Ten minutes with simmering-hot water made my mugs look brand-new. I didn't realize how stained the mugs actually were." —Library Chick

    Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8 (also available in multipacks).

    48. Some Avarelle tea tree and calendula oil–infused pimple patches that actually help reduce acne overnight by drawing out pus trapped under the skin. You can even see all of the gunk these patches pull out, so you know they're working.

    Same reviewer's cheeks, which are now a more even skin tone and free of almost all breakouts

    Promising review: "Wow. I was SO skeptical about this product but bought it anyways because of the good reviews and how desperate I am to find a quick fix to my acne. This product is incredible. I had two large zits on my jaw line. I put the patch on overnight and they are 90% better after I woke up the next morning and I can easily cover up what’s left with makeup. I 100% recommend this." —Marie

    Get 40 round patches from Amazon for $7.64 (also available in XL square patches).

    49. A self-grooming cat toy your feline friend will love because it means all the soothing scritches they want... *whenever* they want! You'll love it too once you see how much loose fur it removes and collects! Just attach it to any corner of your home, and let your cat do the rest!

    Promising review: "I got this for my three-legged cat because he can't scratch his left side. He'll be trying to scratch and all you see is his little nub going crazy. I found these and he immediately LOVED it! The expression on his face when he first tried it was priceless (pictured above). The only downside is that it's possible it'll fall off because it was hard for me to get all pieces of tape to stick on a corner at the same time, but I can always buy more double sided tape so not a big deal to me. The product is for Floyd, not me, and he's happy so five stars." —Pippa Runs

    Get it from Amazon for $5.50.

    50. A self-sealing, airtight, and leakproof snack and sandwich-sized reusable silicone bag designed to keep food fresh while reducing your reliance on single-use plastics. It's safe to put in the microwave, dishwasher, oven, or freezer, and you can even use it for sous vide!

    This bag is free of BPA, PVC, and latex.

    Promising review: "I've tried a LOT of reusable bags as there are a lot of options out there all using a variety of materials. The fabric ones just get gross over time. The vinyl ones are hard to clean and aren't usually dishwasher-safe. There are other silicone ones that need a separate rod to close them that you can easily lose. 

    This one is the most simple and easy to use. No separate pieces to lose. Can withstand any temperature/microwave/dishwasher/whatever. And if they get gunky they are very easy to clean and I trust that they aren't hiding gross crumbs in any of the crevices. My only complaint is the cost — they are the most expensive and I wish they offered a bulk discount. If they were cheaper I would use them for EVERYTHING (open cheese in the cheese drawer, all snacks on the go, etc)." —Megan A.

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in several sizes, styles, and colors; the sandwich and snack sizes are under $15!).

    51. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess mascara (over 215K 5-star ratings!) — it defines and separates lashes to give you the bold look you usually need ~falsies~ for. Not anymore! Plus, it'll last all day — even in hot weather — without clumping, flaking, fading, or wearing.

    Kayla Boyd / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    Here's what BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd has to say about these:

    "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes, without the discomfort." 

    Promising review: "I am so blown away. I put on ONE.COAT. One coat and my jaw dropped. One coat and it looked like I had on false eyelashes. I was super skeptical and I kept seeing ads for this everywhere and finally I decided to give it a try because the price is so good. I had no expectations at all and I am floored by how great this is. It took me a lot of years to find the mascara that I liked and I thought was good, but I think this had taken its place. The coverage is great, washes off easy, and no smudges. Holds up well for a day's wear. Would highly recommend" —Dana Bice

    52. A wood polish and conditioner with beeswax and orange oil that'll impressively hide those dings and scratches making your floors, doors, furniture, and other wood surfaces look old and dingy. Now you can put off replacing them and save some $$$!

    Promising review: "I never write reviews. This stuff is amazing. I tried to see if it could get rid of some water marks on a table we frequently use. It turned into a wood-polishing party at 11 p.m. on a Saturday; three tables, a wooden trunk from the 1800s, and a carved hutch from the 1600s and I’m absolutely blown away. It is honestly a miracle product. And it doesn’t have a nasty smell. I get migraines from certain scents and this stuff is a light citrus scent and nothing that’s too heavy. Seriously, I would give it 10 stars!" —K.O.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

    53. A garbage disposal cleaner that requires basically zero work on your part, and even puts on a bubbly little show while getting rid of that vom-inducing smell you thought would never leave your sink.

    Here's what you do: Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear. Garbage disposer = clean and ickiness free.

    Promising review: "Works like a charm! These are pretty cool! I was a little skeptical but I followed the easy-to-use directions and it worked just like the product said it would. Foamed up and cleaned the drain!! Smell removed!!" —Jennifer K

    Get two packs of four from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in larger multipacks).

    54. A bitter but harmless clear polish to deter even the most dedicated nail biters. If one of you New Years resolutions was to break this habit, give this stuff a try!

    Promising review: "I have been a nail biter for at least 15 years and have tried yet again to break the habit. This polish tastes horrible and definitely stops me from biting. When you use it I would suggest keeping a drink nearby for the first couple of times you try to bite your nails. Also be careful when eating finger foods because you can accidentally get a little taste. I would buy again, and recommend to anyone trying to stop biting their nails or for thumb-suckers. The polish is a clear coat but does give your nails a shine." —Megan Range

    Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

    55. And a set of nonstick oven liners that'll make the concept of ~cleaning the oven~ a thing of the past. Your back will thank you. And when the liners need to be cleaned, simply put them in the dishwasher or rinse by hand!

    Heads up that you should place this on the bottom *rack* of the oven, not the very bottom of the oven — that can prevent proper heat flow!

    Promising review: "I got tired of cleaning the bottom of my oven out after every drip and spill, or running the 'oven clean' option, which uses up so much energy and makes my house HOT during the process. I used to have foil on the bottom of the oven to help with spills, and that improved things greatly — but then you have to replace the foil after a while.

    I had to cut them to size, which was easy to do with a simple pair of household scissors. Then I placed them in the oven (they look nice!), and I waited for it to get messy. I cooked something super messy and finally needed to clean the liner. It was SO easy; I put it in the sink and used my sink sprayer and everything immediately slid right off the liner. No problem! I have a double oven, so I was glad this pack came with more than one. I have one in each oven and one on standby in case I need it. I know that having a dirty oven isn't the worst thing in the world, but if it matters to you, try these!" —Hpg

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $11.99.

    56. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer (26,000 5-star ratings!) because it'll give you a smoothing layer to help your makeup go on a whole lot more evenly. Simply apply a thin layer, wait 30 seconds for it to absorb, and apply your foundation!

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and thought I'd take a chance. I have sensitive skin and have to watch what I use. I LOVE this product! Goes on smooth and you don't need to use a lot. I put it on before I put on my foundation. Makes a huge difference. Highly recommend and will buy again!!" —Brooks Crim

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    57. A popular Bio-Oil that uses vitamins A and E, chamomile, and lavender to soothe cracked and dry skin, fade new *and* old scars, and moisturize without clogging up your pores. Reviewers who have been washing their hands a lot and ending up with painful dry skin say this really helps! No wonder it has over 67,000 5-star ratings.

    Here's why BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord loves this:

    "FWIW re: scars, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."

    Promising review: "This stuff is awesome. I get dry patches on my face in the winter and since using this, no more dry patches! I have pretty sensitive skin and I can't use most creamy moisturizers because I'll break out, Bio-Oil adds the moisture I need without breaking me out. It also helps to reduce old acne scars and evens out my skin tone. As an added benefit, the smell is light and clean!." —Lydia

    Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in three sizes).

    58. A silverware sorter capable of holding up to 24 pieces of cutlery while taking up barely any space at all so you can actually fit all your tools in one drawer.

    Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

    59. And a lid organizer so your drawers stop looking like a tornado whipped through them. Plus, that'll make sealing up your leftovers less of a hassle.

    It'll hold round and square lids up to 9 inches wide and it only takes one minute to set up! Also, one reviewer shared that a sweet note from the brand in their package revealed that this YouCopia brand is a woman-owned small business!

    Promising review: "This product does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provide flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn

    Get the medium-sized organizer from Amazon for $13.49 (also available in three other sizes, a set of two, and with expanders).

    60. An Eco Tools Facial Cleansing Brush revered for how it gives pores a deep clean while lightly exfoliating your skin so you can maximize the effect from even lower end facial cleansers and give the pricey stuff a *hard pass*.

    Did I mention it's made of cotton and bamboo? That's right, it's vegan! 

    Promising review: "This facial brush is the perfect stiffness for my taste and easy to hold with its rounded, textured shape. With little effort, I can get a satisfying scrub that exfoliates without scraping too gently or too hard. I have sensitive, slightly oily skin and this is great." —Molly

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    61. A wine purifier that can help alleviate hangovers so you can enjoy your fave beverage without the headache. All you've gotta do is swirl it around in your glass before drinking to help remove histamines and sulfites (aka ~headache ingredients~), and it'll do its thing without changing the taste or color of your vino!

    It's also a great way to restore opened, oxidized wine to its natural state so you can save the rest of that bottle you thought was gonna go to waste.

    Promising review: "OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine. I was very skeptical, but it works like a dream! Thank you, PureWine. This is really a breakthrough for me." —Penny Froh

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in larger packs).

    62. And a wine-stain-removing spray for those moments when putting your glass in a precarious position turns out to be a ~pour~ decision — especially when expensive furniture is involved.

    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

    You can also use it to wash and dry produce!

    Promising review: "This product is a game-changer for small kitchens. Forego the large drying rack and get this sleek, stylish space-saver. I don’t like leaving dishes in the sink, nor do I have a dishwasher, and this is just perfect for keeping the sink clean and leaving the counter space open. It's also amazing for washing produce." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $10.98+ (available in seven sizes).

    64. And finally, a double-sided hairbrush-cleaning brush because your head's not the only thing that needs excess hair, dust, and buildup brushed out! This easy-to-use tool has strong bristles that'll get your favorite hairbrush looking like it's never been used before. And once you see how dirty it was, you'll be glad you cleaned it before putting it *anywhere* near your head.

    Promising review: "This is the tool I never knew I needed. It may seem like a silly thing to spend money on when you can clean your brush out by hand but this gets so much more out of the brush! It's easy and rather enjoyable. Who wants to brush their nice clean hair with a brush full of dirty oily hair and dust. When you really think about it makes you want to throw out all your old brushes. I will be buying these as gifts for all my girlfriends." —emmaline
