1. A pack of heel stoppers to avoid your heels sinking into the grass worse than the Titanic sunk. Think of how perfect these would be for outdoor summer weddings if you're gonna be a bridesmaid or even the bride! A total must-have.
Promising review: "I received this on the DAY of my wedding. Snapped these on my Jimmy Choo thin heels immediately and they SAVED my day! They stayed on my heels the entire four hours that I walked in them in an outdoor garden with grass and gravel ground. I was greeting guests and taking photos and these protected the heels and they still looked decent afterwards. No sinking into grass, dirt, or gravel, and no embarrassment. They made my heels more stable and comfortable to walk in as well. So glad I got these!" —Jenn H
Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in sizes XXS–M for different heel thicknesses).
2. 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 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.

3. A "Bug Bite Thing" that suctions bug bites to help reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness. Summer means the mosquitos are comin' back, and those pesky bites are about to be sooo annoying. Make sure to have one of these bad boys handy all season. How could you not fall madly in love with this type of magic?

This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more!
Promising review: "This thing is magic! I'm pretty sure my son is somewhat allergic to mosquito bites. His bites are always swollen triple the size of his sister's and take forever to heal, and mosquitoes think he's freaking DELICIOUS! Despite having my house sprayed frequently and putting in plants that are supposed to keep them away, my son still gets attacked by mosquitoes. I finally had enough — school's around the corner and I didn't want my son all swollen and maimed for his first day, he had two bites! I bought this after the fact, two days to be exact. Used it on my son's arm (I did have to scrape a mini scab off of one to get the venom out) but lo and behold it's no longer itchy and the swelling is GONE! Definitely recommend!" —Miranda Keck
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four colors and multipacks).
4. A container of Museum Gel, a clear, removable adhesive that'll help keep glass and crystal in place. So if you're worried about an earthquake rumbling the house and breaking Grandma's old china, this stuff will ensure that that neverrrrr happens.
Promising reviews: "Have a cat gremlin in your life? Tired of cleaning up broken glass? Finding decor knocked into your garbage disposal just a minute too late? Try this! I love my cat but God, he's a jerk. This has been a godsend for my sanity, especially while working from home. I've used it to adhere my pen cup to my desk, small planters to the counter, and, BONUS (and not cat related), my silverware divider in my drawer so it doesn't slide everywhere. This holds everything in place without the permanence of glue! I have only used this on my granite counters and a desk surface that I wasn't concerned about. I can't speak to using it on wood furniture, but so far I haven't seen any residue or oil spots." —Rynniex
"Used this to stop my silverware organizers and other drawer organizers from sliding all over the drawers. I don't understand how this stuff works but it's magic and you wont be disappointed!" —Stephanie S.
Get it from Amazon for $13.10.
5. A set of two reusable Wad-Free tools you might recognize from Shark Tank that'll make laundry day a bit easier on you. They reduce drying time and prevent clothes and sheets from getting all tangled up in each other. Being an adult is literally finding loopholes to making life easier, and these certainly do the job.

Wad-Free is a small business that was launched during the pandemic by Cyndi, who had a wadding problem and no available solutions so she created her own!
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
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in packs of two or four).
6. A pack of two tongue scrapers so your breath can be extraaaaa fresh. They're rust-proof and made of stainless steel, so they're sturdy and durable. You won't believe how clean your tongue is and how much of a difference this baby can make in helping to keep your breath smelling great.
Promising review: "These tongue cleaners are definitely stainless steel! You can tell how great the quality is just by holding it in your hand. I use this on my tongue, and I’ve noticed an incredible difference. My tongue feels clean, and the gunk is gone. It sort of grips the tongue which helps grab any left over debris. Be sure to use it over the sink as the debris and saliva will definitely slide off your tongue. To clean, simply rinse with warm water and allow it to air dry! I deal with a lot of dry mouth, especially since I use a CPAP machine to sleep at night. This tool is incredible at getting that bad bacteria off the tongue that shows a white cast and also creates sulfur compounds which makes your breath stink!!" —GreyElt
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.97 (available in six designs).
7. And a painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen that'll give you results after the first use since this is obvi sorcery. You'll be able to blind people with your smile with the help of this little magic pen that'll help remove years worth of stains on your teeth. Someone cue Chip Skylark, cuz after seeing your smile you'll be singing 🎶 my shiny teeth and meeee 🎶.
Promising review: "Hardly ever do I review but this time, sheesh! This product blew me away after only three uses! First off, it's easy to use! I've tried a ton of products for teeth-whitening and all have been either inconvenient to use, or make you wear a mouthguard, 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 brushstroke on dry teeth as you are smiling! It dries on and you rinse off. Magical! I've seen a noticeable difference after only using this for three days!! My husband even said 'WOW, your teeth look amazingly white.' I'm a smoker/tea drinker/coffee drinker too! I noticed the difference but never said a word to my husband about it, he's a firm believer that nothing like this ever 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! Remarkable difference and it lasts! If I could give this 1,000 stars this would have earned 1,001, know what I mean?!" —Lisa Edwards

8. A Grande Cosmetics brow enhancing serum for anyone who may have been a victim of early 2000s thin eyebrow trends. I was too young to participate in those, but still, I was not blessed with thick, perfect, Zendaya brows. This tube of bottled magic will help promote the appearance of fuller, bolder eyebrows so before you know it, you'll be giving Cara Delevingne looks.
Promising reviews: "Like many people, I started with the Gwen Stefani 2000s trend of really thin eyebrows. Honestly, they hadn’t grown back since, no matter what I used. Until I found this product. I’m on my second bottle. It’s absolute sorcery, I don’t understand how or why or what’s in the formula but it does work." —Michelle
"Y'all. This stuff actually works. The first couple of months I felt like I was applying this clear magic liquid to my brows wondering if it's actually doing anything. Then one day, I got home and washed my face and for some reason, I couldn't get the rest of my eyebrow pencil off — IT WAS MY ACTUAL EYEBROW! I didn't realize how full they had gotten. I feel so much more confident without any makeup on and don't use nearly as much brow filler as I used to. I use it on my eyelashes too and they grew faster than the brows. Wish I would've taken before and after pictures. It's worth the money!" —Alyssa Glenville
Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in six styles).
9. An anti nail-biting pen so you don't have to cringe every time you look over and see your little one's hands in their mouths. It also has anti-inflammatory ingredients like organic aloe leaf juice and organic eucalyptus leaf to help soothe sore fingers. They'll hate the bitter taste, and you'll love that their little fingers aren't all chewed up and bleeding.
Super simple to use, just brush it onto their nails, and it'll dry completely invisible with no smell or sheen. I work part time with children, and so many parents adore this stuff. From parents of kindergarteners to parents of fifth graders, this stuff really works wonders.
Promising review: "So glad I bought this. My poor 3-year-old kept biting her nails so much they would bleed. I applied this to her nails and she instantly stopped biting after constantly biting them day after day. I tried lemon juice, nail polish remover, Purell, bandaids. Nothing worked... then I got this in the mail. It only took one time for her to not even be tempted anymore. I highly recommend this!" —Aurora
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
10. A pack of four fast-acting fruit fly trappers because you're like, two seconds away from trying to find out if it's possible to fight a fruit fly. Put these babies where the little buggies like to hang (by your fruit bowl, trash, sink, etc.) and watch — through the little peek window — all those pesky little suckers get trapped in this little fake apple. Woohoo to a fly-free home.
Promising review: "Our home was infested with fruit flies. As a household of minimal fresh produce and a mostly nitrate-rich menu, we were confused and horrified when these tiny, evil bastards took over our house. These apple traps are LEGIT. Within an hour or less they had captured a good amount of flies. I just bought more." —MotherofChaos
Get four traps from Amazon for $14.63 (available in four pack options).
11. And a window fly trap since the demon bugs are beginning to crawl out from hell for the summer. Ughhh, running around the house trying to get the pesky fly that snuck in is never fun, so let these little traps get rid of those buggies for ya.
Promising review: "Gross yet effective. We live in the country with animals so we have lots of flies. I did not want to hang a fly trap but caved when I saw this. I feel it’s not as noticeable as others and is easy to hide and works very well. Easy to hang and does not leave a sticky residue when removed." —Tina
Get a pack of 12 pieces from Amazon for $6.99.
12. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier because pouring oil down your drain is no bueno and could cause problems in the future. This is a quick, easy way to dispose of that oil you have no clue what to do with. Sprinkle the powder into the leftover oil while it's hot, let it cool, and then throw it out!
FryAway is a Latine woman-owned small biz founded by Laura Lady who specializes in planet-friendly ways to dispose of oil. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.
Promising review: "Honestly I didn’t know if this would work, waiting for it to cool down made me nervous but once it was at room temperature, it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
13. A bottle of Rain-X Original Windshield Treatment to help improve driving visibility and wiper blade performance in wet weather so you don't have a freakout moment during the next big downpour since you can't. see. ANYTHING. Rain, snow, and sleet are no match for this magical repellant.
Readers also use this to keep their eyeglasses from fogging!
Promising review: "I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." —Alison J. Gong

14. A garlic rocker that'll easily mince or crush up your garlic because your other one seems to make your hand cramp slightly more every year with age. It also comes with a silicone peeler and a scraper to help you quickly get the job done, andddd it's dishwasher safe!
15. A moisture meter so you can avoid over- or underwatering your plant. If you reaaaally wanna be a plant parent but your green thumb is black, this will help out so so much. Just stick it into your soil to test out the moisture and water accordingly!

Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in three colors).
16. Debbie Meyer GreenBags that'll help keep your fruits and veggies fresh longer — long enough to eat them. Worst part of living alone is trying to eat your produce before it goes bad and how much time is that, like, 12 minutes? No more looking at your bananas, looking away for 30 seconds, and them going bad. Thank you, Debbie!
The reviewer comparison above is what two bananas — one kept in the bag and one didn't — looked like after four or five days! Each bag can be reused 8–10 times.
Promising review: "I am a big warehouse shopper and in the past often couldn’t eat all those berries or all that lettuce before they went bad. So I followed the directions and made sure the produce was dry (lettuce, spinach, asparagus, and blueberries). For the lettuce and asparagus, saw a little condensation in the bag, so put a paper towel in the bag where moisture was accumulating. Two weeks later, the berries were almost as fresh as day one. Lettuce was still crisp and crunchy and only a few pieces of spinach were starting to wilt. Asparagus was crisp as well. I would definitely recommend and will continue to try with other fruits and vegetables." —BAS
Get a pack of 20 (eight medium, eight large, and four extra-large) from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three sizes).
17. Or dishwasher-safe produce-saver containers with FreshVent technology to create the *perfect* environment for fresher produce. Don't you hate having to try and eat all your produce before it gets icky? Samesies. These babies are here so there's no rush to eat up all your fruits and veggies.
These containers help keep your produce fresh by keeping moisture away. They're also designed with a special vent filter, which you never have to replace, to regulate the carbon dioxide and oxygen flow to your produce.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown tried these containers for herself, and, well, you just gotta read her full Rubbermaid FreshWorks container review.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first. What kind of witchcraft could these small plastic bins be born from that would make them somehow extend the life of our otherwise short lived produce. Well let me tell you, if it was witchcraft that produced these containers then call the Sanderson sisters and get them rolling on another batch! Down here in south eastern Virginia, the produce is terrible! We couldn’t get strawberries to last for more than three or four days. They’re so much cheaper to buy in the large containers but then we had to eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner just to make sure they were gone before they started to get too soft and juicy. I was beginning to dislike strawberries. And that, ladies and gentlemen, would be a crime in and of itself. But along came these wonderful containers. They more than doubled the life of our berries allowing me to once again think to myself, 'eh, maybe this meal I will have kiwi.' P.S. they’re easy to clean and stack well in the fridge, too." —Michael Territo

18. Some wart-removing pads to help get rid of any warts easy peasy. Apply these medicated pads like bandages and replace them every 48 hours until your growth disappears as if it was never there.
Promising review: "I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandage. Amazing!!" —K Pic

Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that specializes in safe, nontoxic, biodegradable cleaning products.
Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now, I have it on auto-ship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand-new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available in two sizes).
20. A fridge deodorizer to help keep your fridge smelling fresh for up to six months and *not* smelling like last week's collard greens. Put it anywhere in your fridge or freezer, and it'll de-funk it in hours without using any fragrances or perfumes.
Promising review: "This is an awesome product. Despite our refrigerator’s filter, the ice in the open bin in the freezer was developing odors. This is so much better than baking soda. I can’t believe the difference. The product itself doesn’t seem to have an odor; it just neutralizes the freezer smell so that there is no smell at all. We had even purchased a new ice bin thinking the old bin was the problem. I wish I had figured out this cheaper solution first. I hope it’s still available when it’s time to replace!" —Marell
Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in multipacks).
21. A pair of outlet lights that'll look all fancy-shmancy and be totally practical night-lights so you aren't stumbling around in the dark for that little midnight snacky-snack. (The older we get, the worse our eyesight in the dark becomes, am I right?) No batteries, mounts, or bulky night-lights! Perfection.
Promising review: "I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." —LMK
Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in two sizes and three colors).
22. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner to wipe up all those pesky fingerprints on your fridge. (We're *literally* our parents, what the heck — I can still hear my mom yelling about fingerprints on her fridge and 15-year-old me thinking, Is it that serious? Yes, yes it is.) It also leaves a protective barrier to help prevent future fingerprints and smudges, keeping your stainless-steel appliances cleaner for longer.
This also comes with a microfiber cloth.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Brittany Ross LOOOOVES this cleaner: "I'm gonna cut right to the chase and say that if you have so much as a stainless steel toaster in your house, you NEED this cleaning spray. [After] hearing nothing but rave reviews about it for months and months, I ordered it to prep my kitchen for Thanksgiving hosting — nothing like having your family point out all of the streaks on your fridge! 🙃
"I'd been hesitant, because everything else I'd tried up to that point hadn't been effective — either the streaks and fingerprints would be back the second I touched a handle, or the so-called "cleaners" would create even ~more~ streaks as I wiped. That being said, I don't know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless steel edges of my oven, too. Oh, and it legit smells like lavender, which makes me look forward to cleaning! I can now confidently say I cannot bear to live without at least two bottles of this magic spray in my house at all times."
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in multipacks).
23. A rubber squeegee brush that'll rake up so much pet hair you could probably make a second dog out of the pile of fur. It's specially designed for carpet and attracts pet hair like a magnet. It also cleans windows, showers, and windshields and wipes away liquid spills on tile, concrete, or any hardwood surface with ease. This is what Hannah Montana meant by best of both worlds.
Check this out in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "So of course I saw this product on TikTok...and added it to the list of things that TikTok made me buy. But I'm very glad that I did. I have a Siberian husky who sheds a LOT...and in all seasons. I use this on my carpet before vacuuming and it loosens up the hair so easily that my vacuum never got. I never realized I had that much dog hair caked into my carpet until I used this!" —Alyssa Frey
Get it from Amazon for $21.26 (available in seven styles).
24. The Ollie Swaddle with moisture-wicking fabric to prevent overheating andddd an opening at the bottom for easy access for diaper changing. You'll be able to ~customize~ this swaddle to meet the needs and size of your baby.
The Ollie World is a small biz based in Rancho Cucamonga, California, founded by a foster mom, who wanted to make her own swaddle that could meet all of her foster son's needs.
Promising reviews: "Ok, here it is...STOP reading reviews right now (well, after you finish reading this one!) and go ahead and BUY this swaddle!! Let me tell you, I found out about this swaddle when my baby was 6 weeks old. I took an online sleep-training for babies class and the instructor highly recommended this product in her class. I came to Amazon to buy it immediately but the price tag of $65 stopped me. I refused to buy a swaddle that was that expensive so I moved on and looked for other options. I ended up buying three other different types of swaddles that were cheaper but did not work (my baby got his hands out of ALL them and woke himself up in the middle of the night every time). So after four weeks of buying swaddles, trying them out, then returning them because they didn't work out, I finally gave in and bought the Ollie Swaddle for $65 hoping it would be worth it. And YESSSS, it works!!! It is the ONLY Swaddle my baby cannot get his arms out of!! The only regret I have is not buying this sooner!! I found out about it when my baby was 6 weeks old and didn't buy it till he was 10 weeks old because I was afraid of spending that much on a piece of cloth with velcro on it but omg, I wish I had bought it sooner. This is the HOLY GRAIL of swaddles!! I love love love it. So easy to use and so soft but strong at the same time. This is GENIUS!! Buy it now please!! It will help your baby sleep SO MUCH BETTER :)" —AnileyR
"This is an amazing product and a MUST for parents who desperately need sleep! My baby woke up every two hours on the dot and the first night she wore the Ollie Swaddle she slept eight hours. I was actually getting worried because it was such a dramatic improvement. So far, she continues to sleep great with it. The design seems basic enough and it’s easy to use but there is some kind of magic in it! I’m truly grateful for this product and getting some sleep back." —Caitlin J Mahnke

25. A utility market cart that'll help so so much on grocery shopping day when you have a car full of bags and no one to help get them up to your fourth-floor apartment. Instead of taking three trips inside, load this baby up and get those groceries unloaded lickity-split. You always see older people with these and, honestly, they're doing life right.

Promising review: "My mom used a folding cart similar to this one, to carry bags of groceries and I always wanted one. I have bad knees, so using this cart saves me extra steps carrying the grocery bags from the car into the house. It is lightweight but sturdy enough to hold heavy bottles, cartons and canned goods. The cart is easy to fold and fits right into the trunk of my car." —M. Comstock

26. A piercing bump solution so you can help stop that little bump on your nose piercing that's tripled in size in two weeks from growing annnnyyyy more. Before you totally ditch your new piercing, let this stuff help heal and reduce the size of your keloid!
This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time!
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it and in less than two weeks my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area" —Jordan Caprigno
Get it from Amazon for $11.85 (available in multipacks).
27. A wine stain remover spray because red wine gets you all loosey goosey and sometimes you accidentally begin to spill. Happens to the best of us. Now, it's okay if you get a little clumsy, boo! This stain remover will get those stubborn spills up as if by, idk, *magic*?
This stain remover works on fresh and dried stains without forcing you to bleach anything. Plus, it also works on other tough stains like coffee, blood, ink, fruit punch, sauces, red medicine stains, and even any "accidents" your pets might've left behind.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! Just made a trip to Tuscany, got wine happy, put a boat load of bottles in my luggage, and prayed that all would be ok. All made it safe...except for one exceptional bottle of Primitivo. After mourning its loss, the next focus of my angst was my wine-soaked clothes, including some whites I was very fond of. My singular solace was I had a bottle of this magical stuff waiting for me. Y’all, even 24 hours after this tragic travel travesty (had to do my best to keep the stains wet, though), this stuff worked! All clothes saved! Follow the directions, and you’ll see the magic." —Travis Wayne Abadie
