    23 Problem-Solving Products That’ll Feel Like You Found Hidden Treasure

    Reusable face roller that soaks up excess oil — 🎶 treasure, that is what you are. 🎶

    1. A bottle of drywall repair putty because WHOOOO wants to pay those extra fees or *not* get their security deposit back when moving out? Oh, no no no, honey! Use this thing to fill the 45 holes you put in your wall when you were trying to hang that aesthetically pleasing painting and get it in ~juuust~ the right place. Your landlord won't know a thing!

    Just apply it in a circular motion over the hole or crack, dust off any excess, and paint over it when dry.

    Promising review: "Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed — this cuts the time/effort down! Just rub over the place in need of patching and wipe off the excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former Wi-Fi router and modem, other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use." —Amanda

    Get it from Amazon for $11.89 (also available in a two-pack).

    2. A bottle of TikTok-famous Elizavecca hair treatment that contains ceramides and collagen that'll give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes! Keeping you flawless even if you don't have much time or don't feel like doing your hair.

    Promising reviews: "I was skeptical. I’ll admit it. I wasn’t sure this would work on my 4c hair but it made my hair so soft! And I didn’t need to use a tremendous amount of product. It made it easy to comb out and blow dry my hair. It even made it smoother after the flatiron. You can’t beat it for the price." —Niki D.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five sizes and 37 colors).

    4. Or a pair of cooling pillowcases so that every side of your pillow can be the cool side. A dream come true for anyone who spends the night constantly flipping their pillow over.

    Promising review: "Tired/annoyed with constantly fixing and fidgeting with pillowcases while trying to sleep and get comfortable. Bought these because of the zipper functionality and I honestly don't think I'll ever buy another pillowcase without zippers. They're hardly noticeable too, which is something I was originally concerned with. Best quality after the zippers is the coolness of these. 'Cooler than the other side of the pillow' takes on new meaning with these things. This material's 'cool' just seems to be cooler than any other pillowcases we own. Highly recommend — probably going to buy more for the rest of the bedrooms." —Craig S.

    Promising review: "Potty training GAME CHANGER. I’m so happy to have found something that helps my independent 3-year-old remember to potty. We had a significant regression on our hands and this has worked WONDERS for him! It’s easy to use and he loves the lights and music that play to remind him to potty. HIGHLY recommend if you’re struggling with potty training!" —Stephaney

These tags made it SO easy to see exactly was in each box without having to dig it out and open it up! They give you more than enough to finish the largest of jobs. I finished both my garage and my attic and still have some left. I told my friend about them and she also got them and is OBSESSED!!! If you’re debating on if they are worth it, they 10,000% are!!!" —Brittany Vogt

    Reviewer using Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller

    Promising review: "I first saw this online and it looked like it worked very well in the video that I watched. I use oil-blotting sheets a lot, but I thought if this roller ball works it would be way more convenient as it is reusable and washable. This does not move your makeup at all and it literally makes your face look completely matte, soaking up all of the oil! Super easy to clean." —Courtney

    Get it from Amazon for $12.87.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in three colors).

    10. A bottle-emptying valve because you paid for a full bottle of ketchup, right? So, why throw out that last chunk that just refuses to come out?

You deserve all $5 worth of that ranch dressing you bought and these bottle-emptying valves will make sure that you get every last bit.

    Promising reviews: "This product is the BEST! Makes it so easy to get the remaining product out of shampoo, hand cream, dish soap, makeup and more. Now that recyclables have to be clean, this product is even more useful. No more balancing bottles upside down with other objects around them for support, only to come back a while later to see that it fell or moved and now the remaining product is all over the counter! I purchased the larger pack and have yet to find a product that they won't fit on." Sharyl Felice

    Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).

    12. A mini bag sealer to reseal that bag of chips and keep them fresh as long as possible. Top five worst things is pouring yourself a nice bowl of cereal and taking that first bite and realizing it's stale. With this bb, stale chips or cereal are no longer your problem. Go ahead, get your snack on.

    It's also double-sided! One side heats and reseals and the other is to cut bags open!

    Promising review: "Love this little gadget. Believe it or not, I saw this on TikTok as an 'Amazon product you didn’t know you needed.' Since my older sons are on their own at college, they eat a lot of pre-packaged items so we got one for each boy as a stocking stuffer. They were actually excited to try them out so the boys went in our pantry and opened new bags of chips and crackers just to re-seal them. Lol! It works pretty good for such a small device. The cutter even works so the bags that are mostly empty aren’t as big and don’t take up as much room. My husband wants one for our house now. Guess we’re getting another one." —Can7

    13. A set of four little pastel packs of soap sheets that you just add water to and they become all sudsy. Great for traveling and those situations where you use a public restroom and the soap dispenser runs outta soap. Yeah, not a good time. Keep these babies handy.

    14. A set of three reusable grocery bags so you don't have to pay the bag fee at the grocery store. These bad boys fold flat, have long handles, and the design is spill-proof, which meanssss your products won't topple over and roll all around your trunk.

    Promising review: "These bags quickly became one of my favorite purchases. They are the perfect size, very sturdy, nice looking (I got the navy color), and well-made. I love that they have a hard bottom for reinforcement — which flips up so they store flat when not in use. They’re so much better than using those flimsy plastic bags that stores provide. I’ve been using free bags collected over the years — all mismatched, and none of them hold their shape or have strong bottoms like these. It was totally worth investing in good bags that make hauling groceries from the store to the car and the car to the house an easy task! Who knew?" —TW

    15. An Ezpz Happy Mat with three compartments and suction cups so your kid can't throw it onto the ground like they do with literally everything. You know that age where your kid thinks they're Thor and just need to throw anything they can get their hands on? Yeah, this mat is like Mjölnir and parent, you are the only Thor in this house so only you have the power to pick this bad boy up. Uhhh, unless your kid is Captain America.

    Ezpz is is a woman-owned small biz that creates developmentally focused, minimalist tableware for kiddos.

    *Oh! BTW, this is dishwasher safe!

    Promising reviews: "I was worried about my toddler being able to lift this mat from her high chair tray but once you lay the mat down, it does not budge! The suction power is amazing. Love that it’s easy to hand wash or that you can put it in the dishwasher too." —Molly Stover

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four colors).

    16. A set of three bread bag clips because, somehow, every time you set the twist tie from your fave loaf down, it mysteriously vanishes. These'll provide a tight hold and can also be used to seal other bags as well! Goodbye forever, pesky little bread tags!

    Promising review: "What a great invention these are. Instead of using the green wired ties or the plastic squared clasps most bread and tortilla packages come with, these little jewels really do the job, stay on, keep the bags tightly sealed, and are very well made. I've bought probably over a dozen total and use them often on my bread, tortilla bags, lettuce, and other veggie carry bags, etc. Oxo is A-OK." —4EverOnline

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $7.95.

    17. Comotomo baby bottles that'll help get your baby to easily transition from boob to bottle because it's designed to mimic the shape of your tata. If you've got a stubborn little one who won't take anything but your breast, this is so worth a try.

    Promising review: "This bottle was a game changer for our 3-month-old exclusively breast-fed baby! I couldn’t get him to take the bottles our daughter used, but he took these the first feed! They leak a little when not capped, but the flow is perfect so it makes sense! I’m so happy we found these and highly recommend them!" —Alexandra Donahue

    Thaw Claw is a Black-owned small biz that's been featured on Shark Tank, HSN, and Good Morning America!

    Promising review: "At first this looked gimmicky, but I saw a need for something like this. This device, with its suction base and spread design, keeps the food item under its fingers to allow the thawing process to complete in less than half the time by just putting it in the water. And before you object, 'that’s not safe, the temperature will rise too much and promote bacteria growth' — I have ServSafe certs. I know my time and temp levels and those are in no way even close to approaching the danger zone unless you leave it for hours before cooking. I recommend this item for anyone, but especially anyone who has time constraints for evening dinner prep or any other time for that matter." —mudhen7

    Promising review: "I love avocados, but hardly ever buy them because they're so inconvenient to deal with. This tool ABSOLUTELY changes that. I knew I was getting something that would make it a little easier to pit and slice my avocado, but I had no idea HOW MUCH EASIER it would be. This thing is amazing!" —Edianter

    Get it from Amazon for $11.49.

    20. A water bottle cup holder adapter so your huge, bulky, favorite water bottle can fit into the cup holder like that glass slipper fit Cinderella's foot ever so perfectly. So when you're on the road and your co-pilot is knocked out in the front seat, you don't have to bother them with passing you your water bottle — it'll be right next to you, ready to hydrate.

    Promising review: "I had to remove the foam wrap that was on it for it to fit in my cup holder, but now it works perfectly. No more having my water bottle in the seat next to me, rolling on the floor, or spilling 'cause I forgot to close it! Yay!" —sprocketnellie 

    Get it from Wine and Whiskey Co. on Etsy for $12.99+ (available in packs of one, three, four, and six).

    And it's dishwasher safe!

    Check it out on TikTok here.

    Promising review: "My 4.5-month-old just cut his first two teeth, and this pacifier has been a lifesaver for us all. We had received your traditional freezing teethers at our shower (the ones your baby holds in their hands) but my little one hated them (I think because they make his hands cold). So I purchased this, and it was a game changer. I just bought the ice tray that goes along with it, and can’t wait for it to come in! Overall, 10/10!" —Kait

    Promising review: "I bought it because I saw a woman on TikTok showcase something similar like this on her page (on how to keep a home tidy) and I was like I HAD to buy! It’s wonderful! I have ALWAYS hated seeing all the clutter of cords stick out from cord extenders and having this makes my small place look cleaner and organized! I would recommend this for anyone!" —Chidi

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in three colors).

    23. A set of two reusable Wad-Free tools you might recognize from Shark Tank that'll make laundry day a bit easier on you.

    Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and, well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one, so there was one for the fitted sheet and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, 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
