We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A clip-on silicone colander that'll take the ~strain~ out of straining noodles. It's flexible, cleans up easy, and can be attached to cookware of almost any size!
Here's why BuzzFeed market editor Abby Kass loves this:
"I recently picked one of these up, and it is such a game changer. I have hated using a colander so much. It's so bulky, hard to use, and takes SO much time to clean. This solves all those problems. I've clipped it on various pots and pans, and it's fit every single one. It makes it ridiculously easy to strain the water out of the pasta and even the excess fat from ground beef. I'm throwing my old colander away because it will never be used now that I have this genius tool!"
Promising review: "Love, love, love this pasta strainer!!! My husband and I hate cleaning out the strainer, so I ordered this to make life easier. OMG, does it make life easier!!! If this ever breaks, I’ll be ordering another! It’s very sturdy and easy to use. Absolutely love it!" —Freyja
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors).
2. The ToiletShroom, a slim and flexible tool capable of getting rid of clogs deep in your pipes, as well as squeegeeing every inch of your bowl. If you've got a plunger in your hands, chances are you're not having the best day — let this baby make clearing things up way less of a struggle when bathroom emergencies strike! It's also great to work it into your standard cleaning routine for a cleaner throne with less effort!
PS, this includes a caddy!
Promising review: "Honestly I didn't think this was going to work, BUT I am so glad I was wrong! I love how easy it is to use and most of all, how QUICKLY it unclogs my toilet!!! I just shove it down the toilet hole, use the motion of pushing it in and out a couple of times, take it out completely, and the toilet drains with ease! I'm not using all my strength to unclog toilets anymore, and no worries about nasty toilet water splashing everywhere, and it cleans super easily...BEST THING I EVER BOUGHT ON THE INTERNET!!!" —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $14.97.
3. A 3-in-1 ergonomic rake that *also* grabs and dumps lawn debris so you don't have to bend over or even get your hands dirty!
Promising review: "I am 100% endorsing this rake. I grow my vegetables in straw bales every year, and just cleared out 10 composted straw bales in about an hour. I didn't tweak my knees or back AT ALL!! It's very easy to use and very sturdy! I feel fine after using it. It is worth every penny. This rake just took the dread out of my garden cleanup!" —Shenendoah C. Finnigan
Get it from Amazon for $44.95 (available in three colors).
4. A convenient, smudge-proof eyeliner stamp if you love a winged eye look but hate how long it takes you to apply it to yourself. This stamp makes it quick and easy so you can speed up your routine and have more time for other tasks!
The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovior Beauty.
Promising review: "This product is AMAZING!!! Best investment I've made all year! It lasted through multiple times of me rubbing my eyes (because I always do when I wear makeup) and goes on so easy!! If you love doing cat eye, I cannot recommend this enough!!" —April
Get a two-pack from Amazon (one for your left eye, one for your right) for $14.97 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).
5. A set of self-tying shoelaces — they'll turn your favorite pair of shoes into slip-ons so you can get out the door faster, and spend less time hunched over (something your back *and* your busy schedule will thank you for).
A lot of runners and athletes also swear by these for training and races, since it's a guarantee their shoes won't come untied. You can also adjust the tension easily if your feet are more swollen on a particular day.
Promising review: "I purchased two pairs for my running shoes. They work very well, and I have put a bunch of miles on them. No more tying and untying, just slip it on. I like how they keep unified tension across the entire laces from top to bottom. I have had no issues with the lace lock at all, it snapped in well." —Scott
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).
6. An easy-to-use baby shusher that plays human recordings of calming rhythmic shushing to help lull your fussy baby to sleep when you're ready to tear your hair out. You can set the timer for 15- or 30-minute shushing sessions, adjust the volume, and even attach it to your wrist with the included removable strap in case you want to carry your baby while encouraging them to snooze.
Shusher is a small business run by a husband-and-wife duo after their own sleep-deprived experience raising three girls.
More than a few newborn photographers swear by this tool to keep babies calm and cozy during photoshoots.
Promising review: "I bought this for my niece, and I couldn’t believe how well it worked. As soon as she started to fuss, we just gave the shusher a twist, and just like magic, she calmed down. One for the crib, one for the home, and one for the diaper bag! Always have one at the ready! I’ll be buying these for all my new parent friends and family!" —Hannah George
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (also available as a pack of three).
7. A wireless endoscope gadget — it has a teeny tiny camera on the end and can connect to your phone before you send it into drains, behind walls, or into broken devices. Now making repairs or finding missing items in tough-to-reach places will be a lot easier!
Promising review: "This camera works so well it’s almost a joke. An overhead light in my boat’s cabin had severed wire. The hole to access the wire is not even 1/2” in diameter, and the gap in the ceiling is only 2” tall. Adjusted the semi rigid cable, located the severed wire, went back in with the hook attached, and voila!" —the family cook
Get it from Amazon for $27.89.
8. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit here to simplify your meal prepping! Forget chopping your veggies one by one and having to clean a cutting board when you can just toss 'em in this device! And when you're done, just pop out the interchangeable blades and throw 'em in the dishwasher!
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three styles and colors).
9. A set of three drill brush attachments capable of making your surfaces look brand-new — without any scrubbing on your part! Just attach the brush head to your drill, turn it on, and watch all of that grime disappear so fast and easily, you'll think it's magic.
Need a drill? Here's one!
Promising review: "I bought the yellow and use it regularly for cleaning shower tile, removing hard-water stains from glass (with Lime-A-Way), and even for my oven top. For the price, you can't beat it. They are good quality and the different sizes are convenient for different jobs. Gonna get a red set next for the tougher jobs!" —Emir D Hayric
Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors and five bristle stiffnesses).
10. A sand-removal bag you'll never wanna go to the beach without! Simply rub it over your skin and watch with amazement as it easily removes all the sand you usually struggle to get rid of! The secret is in the bag's powder-filled interior, which swiftly absorbs moisture and makes it a breeze to wipe away any stubborn sand. Say goodbye to bringing sand home with you and hello to a hassle-free beach day!
Shakalo is a small business based in San Diego.
Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1–2 times a week. And I even use it on my dogs' paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of too. I will definitely be buying the refill and another bag to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two sizes).
11. An easy-to-use, portable makeup-correcting stick so you can do little touch ups and fixes without having to wipe everything off and start over!
Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using cotton swabs dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" —Katherine
Get it from Amazon for $9.
12. 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. 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 the 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." —WeedWendy
Get it from Amazon for $7.19.
13. Some cable clip organizers in case your chargers are always getting tangled up on the floor *just* out of reach.
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 with 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 $6.96.
14. A standing weeder that'll help you achieve a flawless lawn without ending up with a sore back every time you do yard work.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy. BTW, Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon making tools for gardening. They've been making this tool since 1913!
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
15. A single-handed tape dispenser — it'll make you wonder why you ever struggled with any other kind. Now, you can quickly and easily wrap gifts, seal up envelopes, and more while making them look *way* neater. Simply pull the trigger to release the tape, and let the trigger go to cut the tape — it's that simple!
Promising review: "My last tape dispenser was awful. Threading the tape through the mechanism was the worst. The gears and springs would fall out when you opened the damn thing. Eventually, the tape started to cling to the roller and would rip the paper I was trying to tape. This design is great; the tape self threads itself when you put it on the rubber bands, the tape stays on the inside of the device until you press the trigger to release it, and the tape self-cuts when you let go of the trigger. Everything can be done with one hand. Wonderful!" —Billster
Get it from Amazon for $14.50 (available in four colors).
16. A stainless-steel butter spreader designed to gently curl butter onto your bread so you'll never have to struggle to evenly spread cold hunks of butter on toast again.
Promising review: "My brother and his wife received a knife like this as a wedding present, and I had to try it for myself. I only buy real butter, and I keep in the fridge, so this is so helpful to get the right amount of butter to spread on toast. It really is a neat little find!" —K. Carbo
Get it from Amazon for $9.49 (also available in a two and four-pack).
17. A wireless remote kit for those lamps, string lights, and other household items that either have hard-to-reach on/off buttons or need to be unplugged every time you wanna power them down. Now you can conveniently control them from this handy remote!
Promising review: "I absolutely love these! In my apartment, I strung Christmas lights around the top of my bedroom and then did the same in my living room and kitchen. I hated having to plug and unplug them though. When I found out about these, it made life so much easier. I could shut them off from the other room. The controller does not have to be directly aimed at the receiver or unblocked. It works just fine from anywhere in my apartment — even across doors." —Brianna Curtis
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $19.56.
18. A meat thermometer pre-programmed with USDA-approved temperatures for different types of meat so you can stop wasting time Googling whether or not that chicken you just pulled out of the oven is undercooked. This thing takes the guesswork out of preparing meat so you can cook with confidence!
It also features a helpful timer, a flip-out stand for easy reading, and magnetic backing for convenient storage on the fridge!
Get it from our Goodful shop for $24.99.
19. A pool cleaner device here to passively collect fallen twigs, leaves, and other debris from your pool *all on its own* if you'd rather spend your time doing literally anything else.
Pallet Works by Steve is a small biz!
Promising review: "My pool guy was impressed! Works just like it should and takes the load off of my skimmer. We have two huge trees that we work around every year... in the past burning up two motors due to a clogged skimmer. Thank you!" —Annette Milliff
Get it from Pallet Works by Steve on Etsy for $65.
20. An apple slicer — it makes preparing a quick snack almost absurdly quick and easy. Try drizzling some honey over your perfect slices and thank me later. You'll never cut an apple by hand again!
Promising review: "I didn't know that an apple slicer could be this amazing! I no longer have to fight to get the apple slices out of the slicer and rip them apart. The bottom of this slicer pushes the slices through which separates them. Mind blown! And as a bonus, the bottom protects the blade while being stored. It just keeps getting better!" —AZMom
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (also available in a version for eggs and bananas).
21. And a handy pepper corer if you want a fast and mess-free way to remove the stem, seeds, and core from your pep.
Promising review: "I love eating raw bell peppers, and this handy gadget has been a real time-saver. Removes the core to make slicing up peppers much more efficient. Two thumbs up for this ingenious kitchen gadget." —I love Amazon
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
22. A scratch-free scraping tool designed to easily remove stickers, labels, grease, paint, kitchen messes, and other goop that's usually a pain to deal with if you don't have this handy helper!
Promising review: "The perfect handy tool for getting into tight places. It's firm enough for a number of uses, but it doesn't scratch or mar surfaces. I should have gotten the five-pack. I have so many uses for these things. I think the best use yet was cleaning the sliding door track. I finally could get into the corners to get the grunge out. A great invention." —Miss Picky
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $14.99.
23. An automatic pet feeder so you don't have to base your entire lifestyle around your pets' feeding schedule. Simply program this device to release the appropriate amount of food at the time you specify, and it'll handle the rest!
Promising review: "This cat feeder is amazing! It was very easy to setup, and we have two feeding times a day. It has operated with batteries just fine. It saved our mornings from our two cats crying outside our door for food early in the morning! Have not had any issues with it for over a month. I would highly recommend this product for your vacation or your sanity!" —Amanda Roper
Get it from Amazon for $69.99.
24. Some gift wrap cutters to take the struggle out of achieving perfectly straight lines. Just slide it over one end of the roll, pull the paper through the opening, and gently push it along as its sharp blade makes a precise cut much faster and easier than with scissors. You can even leave it on the roll to keep things neat and tidy for storage!
Little Elf is a US-based small business that specializes in gift-wrapping accessories.
Promising review: "This item is super easy to use and cuts well every time. I've used it five times already and it works perfectly. It's such a great time saver, and I've even come back to buy more for other friends as a cute little gift. This little helper makes me actually enjoy wrapping presents!! Everyone should have one of these!" —Cathy Bitner
Get a pack of two on Amazon for $14.99.
25. An automatic pan stirrer for anyone who tends to forget to continuously stir certain ingredients and always ends up with clumpy results. It even has a built-in timer, so you can let it take over at the stove while you bask in the glory of your newfound free time.
Promising review: "Honestly, I laughed at myself for buying this. I stopped laughing the first time I used it! What a help! It freed me up to do other things while it stirred the sauce that needed constant attention. Bought another one! Not laughing now!" —Luvdvm
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $25+ (battery-powered and rechargeable versions available).
26. A flip top bottle attachment — now instead of struggling to squeeze or dig out every last drop of your expensive lotion, shampoo, condiments, and more, simply attach this nozzle with three legs so you can store it upside down and let gravity do its thing.
Promising review: "No more wasting product. I love these so much that I had to get the six-pack so I can use them around the house for everything. I love that once the bottle is done, you just clean the lid and put it on something else. I love that the bottles don’t fall while the product is slowly dripping inside the bottle, and if you use the stoppers, it doesn’t leak. The only thing is I wish it came with a lot more stoppers other than that. This is a must-have in your house." —Em
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $25.
27. A pair of fillable paint touch-up pens that make it easy to target small marks, scratches, and scuffs on walls and furniture — no mess, no hassle, and no struggling to use a paintbrush in tough areas. These'll give you pro-looking results with minimal effort!
Some reviewers have reported having trouble refilling the pen, but this reviewer has a helpful explanation of how to refill them. Reviewers also say these are *great* for ensuring crisp lines when working with stencils!
Promising review: "How did I ever live without these?! I had these in my cart forever but the price seemed a bit high for what they are. Finally on an impulse I pulled the trigger and bought them. I'm now kicking myself for not doing it sooner. These are fantastic!!!
They make small fixes a breeze, especially when two paint colors butt up next to each other at a corner. The brush fibers are great and smoothly put the paint in the exact spot. I had even tried buying artists' brushes for touchups in the past, but they never worked well and I no longer need to pull out the whole can to do one tiny touch-up. I have these locked and loaded with every paint color in my house and am ready to go." —AAG338
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a five-pack).
28. A helpful jewelry clasp cleverly designed to stop your necklaces from getting all tangled up when you're wearing more than one at a time. It keeps each chain separated so you can layer your fave necklaces without them turning into a rat's nest by the end of the day.
Theresa Rose is a San Diego-based small business.
Here's why former BuzzFeed writer Kayla Suazo loves this:
"I recently bought a couple of these and had one of those very real WHY DIDN'T I BUY ONE OF THESE SOONER moments. They do an amazing job at keeping your necklaces from tangling as you wear them, and I love that I can layer several of my favorites at once. I am forever sold on these."
Get it from Theresa Rose on Etsy for $13.49+ (available in four styles and for two, three, or four strands).
29. A beard trimmings catcher so you can stop dreading the cleanup that inevitably comes with shaving your face over the sink. Tired of thousands of tiny hairs scattered all over the counter every time you wanna give yourself a trim? This brilliant invention is here to save the day.
Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use it, but once I got my hands on it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere from two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine, but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create!" —Timur
Get it from Amazon for $11.30 (available in five colors/styles).
30. A pack of all-natural bottle cleaning tablets to get rid of those stains, smells, and tastes making you wonder if it's time for a new travel mug. *SPOILER ALERT* It's probably not! But it is time for these tablets to get in there and do the hard cleaning for you — no scrubbing or extra effort required on your part!
These are biodegradable and odor-free. Bottle Bright is a US-based small business established in 2009 that specializes in cleaning products.
Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing.
They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8.
31. A popular, nonaerosol dry shampoo powder for those mornings before work or class when you probably should've showered but simply didn't have the time. Gently rub it in to absorb excess oil and add instant volume — no one has to know! The bottle is tiny, so you can easily throw it in your bag for those *emergency* moments, but reviewers also note that a little goes a long way, so even a small bottle can last for a long time!
Promising review: "Ok so I never leave reviews for anything, but I have to for this dry shampoo! I stopped using aerosols several months ago, and I have tried so many dry shampoo powders since then that have done absolutely nothing and are also really annoying to apply.
This one actually works and is just as easy as an aerosol. I usually can get maybe three days out of a hair wash with other dry shampoos, but I got to day five with this one and my hair still looked freshly washed. I never thought I would find anything that worked for me as well as my beloved Batiste, but I think I like this one even more!" —Kennedy
Get it from Amazon for $16 (also available in packs of two and three).
32. A pair of bear claws that make it so much easier to shred meats. Hate getting your fingers covered in greasy rotisserie chicken? Use these instead!
Promising review: "Just yesterday, I was using these claws to turn a roast I was browning, and I declared my undying love for them. Then I remembered I haven't yet written a review for them. They seriously have changed my life as far as cooking meat. Flipping a chicken, or a goose, or a duck, turning a roast, transferring a roast from the rack onto the board for cutting, holding the meat steady while cutting — the claws do it all. They are like salad hands for your meat. Buy them and see your life change too!" —Anonymous
Get them from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two styles).
33. Some hydrogen peroxide-infused toilet bombs — they'll fizz around to freshen and clean your bowl. When used regularly, they'll even eliminate the need to get in there with a pumice stone, so you can spend as little time face to face with your throne as possible.
All you have to do? Drop one in the bowl, swish once or twice, let it fizz for about five minutes, then scrub for a minute or so with a toilet brush. Juniperseed Mercantile is a Littleton, Colorado–based small business with a passion for great skincare, simple living, and the Earth.
Get the pack of five from Juniperseed Mercantile for $12.
34. An Instant Pot to make your friends and family think you're a brilliant cook, when really you just followed a few simple directions and let this useful device do the rest. You won't believe how quick and simple it is to make dishes that actually taste incredible using this appliance that's a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté-r, yogurt maker, and warmer all in one!
It can prepare food up to 70% faster than other methods. It can keep food warm automatically for up to 10 hours, and there are three temperatures for sautéing and slow cooking. The inner cooking pot, lid, and steam rack are dishwasher-safe! Check out our Instant Pot review for more deets!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot.
I purchased two sizes for my own use: the three quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two-person dishes) and the eight quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman
Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in three sizes and styles).
35. A scratch pad in case your pup *hates* having their nails clipped. Now they can file down their nails all on their own without the stressful ordeal!
ScratchPad for Dogs is a small biz based in Atlanta offering scratch pads and refills.
Promising review: "Love this ScratchPad! We adopted our dog almost a year ago and he's been terrified of clippers and grinders since day one. We've never been able to maintain his nails due to his super reactive anxiety around nail care. That's all changed since we got the ScratchPad a few weeks ago! He took to it right away and his nails have shown significant improvement in just a few sessions!" —Kira Armajani
Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $42.25+ (available in two styles and three grit levels).
36. A set of Wad-Free pads brilliantly designed to help prevent your sheets from getting all tangled, twisted, and balled up every time you wash them. It'll also help them dry faster with fewer wrinkles!
They're reusable, BPA-free, and from a small business that launched during the pandemic.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work — well, I can absolutely confirm this does! I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices, so there was one for the fitted sheet and the flat sheet. I tried it out, and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, but they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a set of four).
37. And a SockDock for anyone whose socks love to just up and disappear during the laundry process. Not anymore! Simply attach your socks to the SockDock, and toss the whole thing in the washer and dryer to make sure no one escapes! Plus, you can also hang it from a doorknob, hamper, or in your closet to store your clean socks in between wash cycles.
SockDock is a small business founded by Kevin Bunn in March 2017 after he got so frustrated losing socks while doing laundry.
Promising review: "For the last six years, I have lost literally dozens of socks. No one would fess up to having them stuffed in their drawers or crammed underneath their beds. So, it must be the sock gnomes or if you are familiar with Family Guy. I have been using the SockDock for about a month, I've washed about three or four loads, and guess what, not one sock was lost.
It does take some commitment to load soiled socks on the tree, but it's worth the effort. They come out of the wash, and you just hang them up and pull fresh ones off. I highly recommend if you can commit yourself to the process." —S. Peterson
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
38. A microwave pasta maker with a built-in strainer that lets you make perfect al dente pasta...IN THE MICROWAVE. Just insert noodles and water, stick it in the microwave, and you'll have delicious pasta in minutes. No mess or sticking!
It even has handy serving size holes on top so you can ensure that you're putting the right amount of noodles inside!
Promising review: "This little thing is great. I wish I'd bought it sooner. It's a very simple container with draining and measuring holes (for long pasta) in the lid. The container itself isn't anything special. Honestly, the part that makes it REALLY worth buying is the little instruction card. It accurately shows you how long to cook many different kinds of pasta, how much water to add, etc. It takes out all the guesswork, which saves SO much time. Every kind of pasta I've tried so far has come out perfectly al dente by strictly following the instructions." —T. B. H.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
39. A TikTok-famous bagless, touchless stationary vacuum — it'll make you wonder why you ever owned a regular dustpan. No more bending over and transporting your filth to the trash can — inevitably dropping crumbs and dust bunnies along the way. Now you can just sweep directly over to this ingenious device and watch it slurp up every last bit of filth.
After debris is collected into the vacuum's canister, an indicator light will turn on to let you know when the canister is full and ready to be emptied out. Pull the canister out and dump debris into the trash without spilling crumbs and dirt everywhere.
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor...I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $126.99+ (available in seven colors).
40. A magnetic lash kit for anyone who hates struggling with falsies that require glue and are a hassle to put on. With these, all you have to do is apply the magnetic eyeliner just like any liquid eyeliner, and then place the magnetic eyelash right on top, where it'll instantly attach all by itself!
You'll get five different styles of *reusable* lashes to meet your different needs and two tubes of magnetic eyeliner.
Promising review: “They look beautiful. I am so impressed with these lashes. This is the first time I have tried magnetic eyelashes, and they work so well. I tend to wear them once a week or so. They are all fun and so easy to put on. I have had these for a couple of months, and they still work great! I suggest cleaning them after each use with a makeup remover like Neutrogena (the one with the oil in it that you have to shake), and they come out beautiful and clean.
When putting them on, I did discover with trial and error to first put the eyeliner on and then let it dry by doing other makeup or getting dressed. Then, after that is set, put them on. I have small eyes so I found putting them on too close to the inner corner of the eye can be irritating to me and bothersome when I blink. If I put them a tiny bit away from the inner eye, they work beautifully. I would definitely buy these again!" —Holly

41. 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 or memory foam on their mattress. I used to wake up because of rumpled sheets and mattress pad lumps. These are SO easy to install and grip both my sheets and mattress pad to keep everything nice and taut!" —watrskiergurl

42. An automatic, hands-free electric can opener — it does all the work for you. Simply place the opener so the edge of the can is between the blade and gear, press the button, watch it spin around and cut the top of almost any can all on its own, press the button again to stop, and use the handy lid remover to seamlessly take the top off — leaving behind a smooth, non-sharp edge!
Kitchen Mama is a small biz whose products aim to make cooking a little easier.
Promising review: "I bought this for my mother, who has some problems with arthritis, and when we gathered around to see if it worked, we were all pretty impressed. It left the edge of the can crimped in a way that avoids those sharp edges, which I personally have been sliced by several times. At first, it didn't seem like it was working, but then we lifted it and boom! Open can. I might get one for myself, honestly." —Rachel C.

43. A spinning makeup brush cleaner because cleaning and drying your brushes by hand takes forever, and you have way better things to do. So, why not let this device do the work for you? It swirls your brushes in soapy water until leftover makeup, dead skin cells, dirt, and debris are gone, and then spins the brush until it's dry.
It comes with the brush spinner, charging station, eight rubber collars that securely connect the makeup brush to the spinner, a glass bowl, and a splash guard ring.
Promising review: "I use my makeup brushes daily, and they get filthy. I've used other cleaners and this product wins hands down. The wand and the cleaner itself take all the hard work and do it for you, not to mention the brushes dry in seconds. This is the cleanest my brushes have ever been. Highly recommend." —Valerie
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors).
44. A set of rattle socks and armbands so your little ones can entertain THEMSELVES every once in a while when you need a BREAK.
45. A powerwash dish spray here to make it easier to clean those gunk-covered dishes that have been chilling in the sink for a few days too many.
Promising review: "Dawn is a soap that I think most people are familiar with. This is Dawn, but about 50 times stronger! I used to dread cleaning pots and pans, but Dawn Platinum Powerwash makes that chore a lot quicker and gets the pots and pans cleaner.
Note: you get the original spray bottle plus three refills, so when you run out of the product in the bottle, it’s no problem. I would highly recommend this cleaning powerhouse! I don’t think there is anything else on the market even close to what this does." —Phoenix Tyler
