1. A wearable nail polish holder ring here for those moments when you wish you had an extra hand to help you do your nails. The ring size is easily adjustable thanks to it being bendable, but still has a sturdy design that reviewers say is also helpful for crafting!
Promising review: "Soon as I saw this, I knew I had to get it. How smart that someone finally came up with something that will hold your polish? Not everyone can afford to or wants to go out and get mani-pedis. But of course, I would make a mess or tip the polish over when working on my fingers and toes. This is perfect. It fits on my hand, it fits all sizes of nail polish bottles, and it is made of a nice, thick plastic. You get five big stars from me." —Anne Maes
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 20 colors).
2. An adjustable measuring spoon so you can measure every ingredient in your recipe while only dirtying one utensil!
This can measure wet ingredients from 1 mL to 15 mL and dry ingredients from ¼ tsp up to 1 tbsp.
Promising review: "One measuring spoon to replace several......how can you go wrong? The two pieces are completely separate, so you can wash it thoroughly! Pleased with my purchase and the amount of room it just freed up in my drawer!" —zonneschijn
Get it from Amazon for $7.95.
3. A shoe stretch spray to soften and expand footwear, gloves, and other things that might be just a littttttle too small for you. This stuff works magic on everything from leather and suede to canvas, synthetics, linen, nubuck, and patent leather!
BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review (#46) for more deets!
Promising review: "I had my doubts that this spray would work, but I thought I’d give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised, as I had gotten two pairs of booties for Christmas that I loved, but they were too tight. I lightly sprayed them, and they loosened the boots just enough. Now, they fit comfortably. I definitely recommend it." —Barbara
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
4. A magnetic towel that snaps onto pretty much everything, like exercise equipment, refrigerators, laundry machines, grills, and any other magnetic surfaces. If your towels are always falling onto the dirty floor, you'll love how much more secure these are!
It also comes with a clip if you wanna attach it to your bag or belt while hiking or camping!
Promising review: "Easier to attach/remove from a cart or bag. The magnet is removable for machine washing. Cleans balls/clubs well." —Kent Watase
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in three colors).
5. A set of bed sheet tags to take the frustrating guesswork out of making the bed and storing your sheets. Simply snap these labels onto the bottom-right corner of your bed sheets, and your problem will be solved — they can even stay on in the laundry!
Bed Corner Labels is a woman-owned small business based in Hermosa Beach, California.
These labels can be left on sheets while they're in the washer and dryer. They can also be detached and reattached a limited number of times.
Promising review: "They're easy to attach to sheets and look better than the safety pin I was using to designate the long side of my king-size sheets." —ESimms5555
Get two labels from Bed Corner Labels on Etsy for $6.47 (available in seven styles).
6. And an ergonomic mattress lifter that will make tucking sheets underneath your heavy mattress a breeze! Simply insert it between your mattress and box spring to make the whole process way easier on your back.
Promising review: "We have a Tempur-Pedic king-size bed that is extremely heavy, which makes changing the sheets a very challenging chore! I came across this item, and after seeing that it was a reasonable price and looked sturdy, I thought I would give it a try. Well, I am so VERY happy I did!!! It is extremely well-made and lightweight, and it tucks the bottom and top sheets under the heavy mattress with no effort! I am 71-years-old with arthritis in both hands, and the chore I hated is no longer a problem. Whoever invented this, I thank you VERY much!!! Job well done.❤️!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available as a pack of two).
7. A versatile Ponyback hat with a secret magnetic back opening so you can comfortably wear it with your hair down *and* with a high ponytail or bun!
Ponyback is a woman-owned small business started by Stacey Keller, who was frustrated with the different hat options in the market, so she decided to create her own. This style is made from cotton and works for all hair types.
Promising review: "I am in freaking love with this hat. All my friends tell me how amazing it looks on me. I have been wanting a nice ball cap, but since I normally have my hair up, I couldn’t find one that worked ’til this came along on my TikTok, and I knew I had to get it. And I was so happy I waited ’til it was in stock again. I just love this hat. I wasn’t sure about the size, but I just went for a small/medium size since I thought that would fit, and it’s perfect when my hair is up. I am so happy." —Naysa H
Get it from Ponyback for $37 (available in youth size M/L and women's sizes XS-L and five other colors).
8. A genius tofu press so you can say goodbye to fussing with towels and heavy objects trying to get *all* the liquid out of your tofu. This makes the process much faster, simpler, and less messy, resulting in the perfect taste and texture!
BTW locals, TofuBud is a small biz based in San Fransisco!
Promising review: "I was resistant to getting a tofu press. Another kitchen gadget! But this little guy does not disappoint. It saves time and is clean, fast, and easy. I thought I would want something made of wood or metal — but really this is just the thing. It’s cute, rinses out lickety-split, and gets the job done without messing up towels or having to boil off extra water. My countertop stays clean. I’ve been a vegetarian all my life and this little gadget is already indispensable." —Maria Lewis
9. A "Cup Claw" so you'll never have to struggle to remove, insert, or adjust the padding from sports bras and bikinis ever again! This thing makes an often frustrating task much easier!
Cup Claw is a family-owned small business specializing in fashion tools.
Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place, I highly recommend this." —Wesley I.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
10. A vacuum LED light so you can be extra sure you're getting rid of every last bit of dust, pet hair, and other grime you might not notice otherwise. It's easy to install onto your vacuum (no tools required), and now your floors will *truly* be clean!
11. A suction cup drink holder to keep your fave beverage within reach, whether you're taking a quick shower or chilling in the tub.
Promising review: "Such a simple idea; how is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better, but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect. I've tugged on it, and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wine glasses too. It's a truly perfect product. This $13 piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors).
12. A handy device that keeps track of whether or not the dog has been fed, in case the days are starting to blur together, and you can barely even remember if you fed yourself today.
There's a version for cat owners and fish owners too, as well as ones to keep track of if you brushed your teeth.
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer had to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now, I just have to see if it's green, and if not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in six styles).
13. A plant-based jewelry cleaner and brush duo so you can easily wash your rings and bracelets every time you wash your hands! The full-size jewelry cleaner can be used as a nourishing hand soap, and the included brush offers a deep clean for when you want your precious metals and jewels to look brand new again!
Shinery is a woman-owned and veteran-operated small business that sells a line of multitasking solutions that clean your jewelry while you wash your hands.
This kit includes the Radiance wash solution and a cleaning brush, both of which are Oprah's favorite way to clean her jewelry!
Promising review: "I was pretty skeptical about this product, but I did the simple hand wash, and not only was my diamond super sparkly, but my hands were also super smooth. It's my new 'must-buy' for girlfriends." —Chris Voelker
Get it from Amazon for $56.
14. An intense alarm clock for seriously heavy sleepers who need to take their wake-up call to the next level. Between the pulsating lights, powerful shaker you can put under your mattress or pillow, and the super loud and adjustable volume and tone, there's no sleeping through this thing.
Promising review: "OK!!! My boyfriend got this product for me because I am an extremely heavy sleeper!! I was very skeptical about this product at first, but let me tell you, I have had it for about six months now, and I still jump out of bed every time it goes off!! The part that goes under your mattress vibrates the whole damn bed. The buzzer is extremely loud and the lights are bright and blink on top of all of that.
I will be using this product FOREVER!!! If you ask anyone who knows me...without this product, I do not think I would have ever been on time!!!! I wish I could give this product 100 stars!!!!!! I know you're thinking it's so small and simple....didn't your mamma ever tell you dynamite comes in small packages!!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in seven styles).
15. A kids' art frame that secretly stores up to 100 pieces of art so you can use it to both display your little one's most recent masterpiece *and* store all the other drawings they've been cranking out steadily since they've been old enough to hold a crayon.
Check out a TikTok of the art frames in action.
Promising review: "Wish I'd known about these with my first kid or my second. Now I'm on my third, and our kitchen was littered with art projects. These were a great solution to clear out the clutter and make my kitchen look less like a kindergarten classroom. The frames store A LOT of art in them, and each kid has their own frame and can decide which picture to put on display. Magnetic case makes it easy to open, but it stays shut when it's supposed to." —probooks627
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 15 colors).
16. A power scrubber that scrubs 60 times per second, which is *two times faster* than manual scrubbing. Your arm will thank you for giving it the easy job of guiding this tool while it quickly ~degunks~ areas you thought would never get clean.
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown has this and loves it! She said:
"I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough(!) — it busted through some serious soap scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute. Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."
Get it from Amazon for $21.03.

17. A mini trash can because it fits right in your car's cup holder, making it the perfect thing to replace your vehicle's former trash receptacle...aka the floor.
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "My mini trash cans just came in, and I’m in love! They are so cute they would make a perfect gift for new drivers or high school seniors! I am so excited to use them. They will look so cute in my car and I can finally keep it clean instead of having receipts or wrappings taking over the cup holders. Another TikTok buy, and I can say I’m satisfied. 10/10 would recommend!" —Joanna Sanchez
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors and packs of two).
18. A rapid egg cooker that'll make it much faster and easier to prepare a delicious and nutritious breakfast! This impressive lil' device can make hard-boiled, soft-boiled, poached, and scrambled eggs in just minutes! It can even make an omelet if you wanna feel fancy without the extra effort.
See it in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. Soft-boiled eggs took me about 11 minutes to make. Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker, and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in there... peels come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!??!?" —rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six colors).
19. A WD-40 pen so you can apply the classic formula with *way* more precision and ease. ~Squeaky hinges, corrosion, and rust hate this one simple trick!~
Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking and spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs. I have cleaned Sharpie off wood and walls and, of course, to stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. I keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and in the house toolbox." —BBP623
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
20. A blackhead-removing toy that comes with tweezers so you can feel the satisfaction of plucking out each tiny hair when you're feeling stressed instead of picking at your own!
Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit, and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 13 styles).
21. A bendy travel pillow that'll help make long hours of sitting upright on a plane (or bus, train, boat, car ride, etc.) a *whole* lot more comfortable if you wanna capitalize on some serious snooze time. It's super adjustable, making it easy to customize for the support you need, whether it's your back or neck that tends to suffer on long trips.
22. A portable SPF 50+ sport-brella you can clamp onto anything from beach chairs and picnic tables to bleachers and strollers! It's easy to rotate and adjust for maximum coverage, *and* it folds up into a compact carrying case so you can take it on the go!
Promising review: "This has made working from home outside possible! I can bend the umbrella from three different angles and even rotate it. Great shade for my laptop to keep it from overheating in the sun, but small enough that I can stand next to it (clamped onto the side rail of my deck) and still get a little sun myself! Best money you'll spend this year!" —Melissa H.
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).
23. A splatter guard so you don't have to give your entire stove a deep clean whenever you fry up some dinner. Plus, it'll help protect you from sizzling oil splashes that would just love to hop out of the pan and land on your bare skin.
Frywall is a New York-based small business that specializes in protective kitchen accessories.
Promising review: "I was frying chicken with lard and put too much in the frying pan. A few minutes after putting the chicken in, the lard began to bubble up, and if I hadn't had the Frywall in place, it would have spilled all over my stove. The Frywall creates a seal around my frying pan, stopping spillovers. Splatters don't escape; it's easy to work around it (turning my chicken over), and when I'm done, I just throw it in the dishwasher. If you do any frying at all, you want the Frywall. Helpful." —Carl G Brown
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in four colors).
24. A wig dryer stand that'll dry your wig from the inside to the outside in a fraction of the time it normally takes! Simply insert the end of your hair dryer nozzle into the opening, and the air will circulate through the ventilation holes to quickly dry both the wig net and the hair itself. You can even style it while drying!
Note that you should not use heat settings on your dryer while using this wig stand. Also, please don't leave the wig stand unattended for too long if the hair dryer is plugged in and running!
Promising review: "10/10 I can't see myself drying my wigs any other way moving forward. What took two to three days for my wigs to air dry now takes minutes. I more than likely won't use it for styling, but that option is available." —Stacy
Get it from Amazon for $32.99.
25. A microwave popcorn popper so you can quickly and easily make your favorite movie snack without dealing with the stove or spending money on wasteful single-use bags. No oil or butter is required, but if you want butter, you can simply melt it using the dual-purpose lid!
That cup you see in the lid is a measuring cup, so you'll use the right amount of popcorn; if you then dump the popcorn in the popper, you can then add the butter or coconut oil (in solid form) in the cup and just leave it there, and it will drip into the popper as it melts. After the popping is done, you can eat it from the popper or dump it in the bowl.
Promising review: "Best popper EVER!!! I've been microwaving my popcorn for many years and always bought the bulk popcorn, but I was never really satisfied with a popcorn popper until I got this one — but now it's my all-time favorite. Very easy to clean up, and it pops almost all the kernels every time.
In my opinion, this size is really a single portion, and if two people want to share you should get the bigger size, but my GF and I prefer the smaller portions anyway. I sometimes use coconut oil in the measuring cup on the lid and sometimes use butter for flavor, but you can 'air pop' without oil as well. A little butter or oil goes a long way and helps the salt stick." —LDHunter
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two sizes and six colors).
26. A customizable litter box splash guard in case you're tired of the walls and floor around your kitty's potty winding up covered in grossness. See the photo below for someone who brilliantly used it with their indoor doggie lawn, too!
27. A portable car desk/tray combo so eating and working in your car can actually be comfortable! Plus, do restaurants usually have recliners?? I don't think so.
Promising review: "This is perfect for a mobile office or digital nomads!!! No more trying to balance my laptop on my knee and a cup in my cup holder or those low-centered kinds that cut into your belly. Oh, and it doubles as a writing desk, tablet stand, and food tray!!! Highly recommend!" —Deanna
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
28. A mascara remover designed to tackle strong waterproof formulas you might struggle to lift away otherwise. All you have to do is apply it to your lashes like mascara and remove the liquid with cotton a few minutes later — it's super speedy and easy!
Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser, and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock by this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
29. A wall-mounted retractable clothes rack perfect for small spaces that could use an extra spot to store or dry your clothing. Each rack can hold up to 60 pounds, and when you aren't using it, it folds right back up and out of the way!
Promising review: "I bought one for my small laundry room/closet off of my kitchen and ended up buying a second one because it saves so much space — either for hanging clothes that are dry or drying clothes on a line. I pretty much use the second one in front of a window in this closet and close it when not in use so it doesn't cut the light from the window." —SKB
Get a rack from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors).
30. A pack of beer salt strips so you can skip making your own salt rims and simply peel and stick these right onto bottles and glasses. If you like a little citrusy salty kick to your libation of choice, you'll love these delicious salt and lime strips!
Promising review: "I love these! My husband likes them with his beer, but they they go great with more than just beer. They were fresh, easy to peel and stick to the bottle, and they taste great." —Justin Ewald
Get a two-pack (four strips total) from Amazon for $14.95 (available in three flavors and combo packs).
31. A wall-mounted shelf desk that lets you take advantage of unused verticle space, giving you extra room for office essentials *and* fun decor!
Promising review: "I had this blank corner in my living room, and I just knew this ladder desk would be a gorgeous addition to the area. I don't have an extra room for an office or even the kind of space in our small home to designate to a bulky desk. It was very easy to assemble, it took maybe 25 minutes to put together.
I love having my own spot to get my work done on my MacBook. Plus, this spot is perfect to work on any crafts/DIYs. I added a pouf seat instead of a chair just to save even more space since it easily slides underneath the desk. Anyway, I'm so stoked about this purchase! I highly recommend it." —Heather Nicholson
Get it from Amazon for $149.69+ (available in three colors).
32. And finally, a garbage disposal brush because no one wants to stick their fingers into whatever rotting leftovers are clogging up the kitchen sink and smelling up the place. Now you can get the job done quickly, efficiently, and most importantly...*from a distance*.
