    We Already Vetted These 38 Well-Reviewed Products So You Don't Have To

    If online shopping's starting to feel like homework, you can copy our notes.

    1. A silky soft set of bedsheets that have over *200 THOUSAND* 5-star ratings on Amazon simply because they are so luxurious, comfy, and dare-I-say... perfect?

    2. A brush here to give you a relaxing lil' massage every time you wash your hair while deep cleaning and exfoliating your scalp.

    3. A highly accurate and easy-to-use food scale perfect for nailing recipes. This one is loved by reviewers for 1) being compact and easy to store, 2) handling measurement conversions and subtracting the weight of containers, and 3) being super easy to clean!

    4. A nonstick, food-safe baking mat so you can make cookies whenever you want without having to decide if it's worth needing to scrape a baking plan clean after. Nothing talks me out of cooking and baking like anticipating a cleanup, but these make it so much easier!

    5. A Revlon hot air brush to simplify your routine using special vents that allow air to flow, so hair dries faster without damaging. It's much quicker and easier than using a dryer, flat iron, or curling iron, and the results will make you feel like you just came from the salon!

    6. A file and callus remover that'll make your feet feel like they were completely reborn.

    8. A jar of The Pink Stuff paste, which has reached cult-favorite status for being great at removing stains, rust, discoloration, and other stubborn marks from metal, ceramic tiles, saucepans, barbecues and much more without leaving behind any scratches!

    9. A digital food thermometer so you can stop hemming and hawing over whether or not your chicken is cooked enough and quit losing precious juice from your steaks every time you cut them open to check on the middle. Just stick this lil' guy in and get an instant temperature reading!

    Promising review: "This digital meat thermometer is the best I've ever had. I own others, but they are either too bulky to fit in the drawer or too hard to read. This one is small and lightweight; it's easy to pull out the probe and very easy to read the temperature. I purchased several as stocking stuffers for Christmas. They make a gift that will be appreciated for its size and ease of use, but most importantly, it will be a gift that gets used instead of put away in the closet." —Yardleydoc

    10. 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.

    11. An Echo Dot you can use to *clears throat* stream music, display the time, set alarms and timers, ask Alexa any possible question you can think of, check the news and weather, control your smart home, make hands-free calls, detect smoke alarms and glass breaking while you're away, connect to multiple Echo Dots throughout your home, and more!

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.

    Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There’s tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelley

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).

    13. A K-Cup carousel that holds *35 K-Cups* so you can enjoy spinning through your options every morning. Plus, it makes it so much easier to store them in a way that looks nice and organized.

    14. And a cleaning K-Cup you can pop 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 your machine is), and you're done! Now you won't have to wonder what gross bacteria is hiding out in your morning bean juice.

    15. An easy-to-use jewelry-cleaning pen that'll make your jewels sparkle and shine like the day they were born.

    16. A super cool floating bedside table so you can stop lining your bedroom floor with half-empty mugs just waiting to be knocked over. It takes up less space than a regular night stand, and easily attaches to your bed frame so you can keep your essentials within reach at all times.

    17. A fast-acting carpet spot-removing spray to remove those stains you thought you'd never be able to get rid of.

    18. 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.

    21. A lightweight and breathable microfiber blanket that's almost too comfy to be true — yet somehow it is!

    22. An amazing drill brush kit to make 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.

    23. A bamboo laptop desk you can easily adjust to your preferred angle or even use as a breakfast tray! Plus, it has built-in vents to keep the fan on your laptop happy. Sounds a lot better than resting a burning up computer directly on your lap and craning your neck uncomfortably all day long to me!

    24. A lightweight gym bag with helpful sections for your sweaty and dry clothes, shoes, and water bottles so you can keep everything nicely separated and organized.

    27. A garbage disposal cleaner – it requires basically zero effort from you while it rids your sink of that foul smell you thought would never go away. Plus, it's fun to watch as it bubbles and fizzes its way through the grease and grime.

    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

    28. A soft-chew allergy supplement for itchy doggos that can help boost the immune system and relieve allergies and skin sensitivities.

    29. A Cat Dancer toy no one expects their cats to love as much as they inexplicably do.

    30. A FURemover squeegee broom that reviewers say attracts hair like a magnet. All that fur and fuzz hiding deep in your carpet is no match for this thing, and while pet hair is the focus, it'll do an impressive job cleaning up water, dirt, and dust too.

    31. A smartphone sanitizer that'll simultaneously sanitize *and* charge your phone! Forget about trying to wipe down every crevice with different cleaners and anxiously wondering if they'll mess up your screen or seep into the headphone jack. Just set your phone in this case, and the UV light will zap 99.99% of the uninvited germs clinging to your phone while the USB port gets you back to fully charged.

    32. 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.

    33. A wooden children's "knife" so your little one can safely help out in the kitchen without fear, because nothing ruins a meal quite like...an injury.

    34. Some gentle, but effective teeth-whitening pen that'll give you quick results with just a minute of daily use. Reviewers say they don't cause sensitivity, and they have a pleasant mint flavor that'll make your mouth feel fresh and clean.

    Promising review: "Hardly ever do I review but this time...sheesh! This product blew me away after only three times! First off, the ease of use. I've tried a ton a products for teeth whitening and all have been either inconvenient to use, make you wear a mouth guard, etc. This is a pen/brush! Hold it like a writing pen and twist up for the solution. The solution feeds through onto the brush, which is actually the size of a tooth and you just paint brushstroke on dry teeth as you are smiling! It dries on and you rinse off. Magical! I've seen a noticeable difference after only use this for three days!! My husband even said WOW your teeth look amazingly white. I'm a smoker/tea drinker/coffee drinker too! My husband is a firm believer that stuff like this never works...LOL Well boy oh boy this product changed his mind instantly! He already swiped my other pen and has been using it too. We see the difference and are very satisfied. What's even more awesome is the price! Two pens for such an amazing low price. If I could give this 1,000 stars you would have earned 1,001 know what I mean?!" —Lisa Edwards

    35. A super comfy memory foam seat cushion designed to help relieve back pain and sciatica, promote good posture, and help reduce pressure on the tailbone — especially if you spend most of your day in an office chair, car, or other sitting position.

Plus, it's oversized, so you and your blanket-hogging partner (or dog) can stop fighting each other for coverage every dang night.
