1. Some Little Elf gift wrap cutters so that trying to cut in a straight line doesn't make you wanna throw the roll across the room. Simply slide this bad boy over one end of the roll, pull the paper through the opening, and gently push it along as it quickly, easily, and ✨flawlessly✨ cuts your gift wrap. Buddy the elf would be so proud.
Promising review: "Life changing. I love gift wrapping, I'm super cheap, and I have T-Rex arms so the frustration of cutting paper the length of my wingspan was finally worth the cost of trying this nifty little doodad and I am so glad I did!! The only thing better than slicing through paper like a hot knife in butter was being able to give my husband the second one when he wanted to use it!! We all know sharing scissors ends in no one having scissors and accusing the other of losing them, finding out you had them the whole time, and trying not to let the other person know." —Heather

2. A genius guacamole saver to keep air out and prevent browning. OH EM GEEEE!! Guacamole for more than a day?! WE 👏 LOVE 👏 TO 👏 SEE 👏 IT 👏. Guac lovers, are y'all hearing the heavens singing hallelujah or is that just me? Now that amazing batch of dip you made won't go to waste!
Promising reviews: "Works exactly as advertised! My guacamole has been in the fridge for eight days and it is still fresh and green. It looks and tastes like it did last week! You just have to make sure you really get all of the air out. It's a good size and can carry a large capacity of guacamole. I like that it can be used for a small or large amount and still keep it fresh." —Janice Phung
"This is life-changing for guacamole lovers! Made guac yesterday and have opened the bowl several times — still fresh!! You do need to smooth out and level the surface of the guac before putting the lid on and then rock the lid to get out air on the surface before sealing the lid completely." —Rebeka Hill
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
3. A jar of the TikTok-famous Pink Stuff that's totally worth ALL the hype. My jaw is quite LITERALLY on the floor every time I scroll on TikTok and see this stuff in action. This paste plays no games when it's time to get tidy.
Tough on grease and stains on almost any surface, leaves no scratches, and it's vegan! Sounds like the bomb dot com to me.
See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "Life changing. My toddler is unstoppable when it comes to pen and my walls but this product make it look like it never happened. Also removed the rust off my kitchen sink." —Ki_Ski
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in five sizes and in multipacks).
4. A snail mucin serum to help get rid of dark spots, improve skin vitality, and soothe damaged skin. Yep, snail mucin is a Korean skincare product made from snail slime. Sounds ick but your skin will totally fall in love the second you use it. Hmm, wonder if this is why SpongeBob had Gary the pet snail — skincare benefits.
Promising reviews: "This is going to be part of my skincare routine for forever!! My face has always been dry, cracked, and I would get pimples because of all of the moisturizers I tried. This makes my face soft, smooth, dewy, AND I haven't had any breakouts since! I'm obsessed!" —Emily Murphy
"Life changing. I recently added this to my daily routine and I can swear by it. It’s very lightweight which feels very satisfying to put on my skin and it absorbs relatively quickly leaving the skin soft and hydrated. It works well to even skin tone and prevent blemishes. This is definitely a must have!" —Emad
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
5. A bottle of Drop It just in case your hangovers are getting worse with your age like me (I say this with tears in my eyes). This stuff helps reduce the amount of sulfites and tannins (which contribute to headaches) in your wine in just 20 seconds.
Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and drink up!
Promising review: "Life-changing. I had stopped drinking red wine because I got the most awful headaches. These drops are amazing. They don't change the flavor of the wine and my negative reaction to the wine itself has gone away. They won't stop you from having a hangover if you drink too much wine but if you find yourself reacting to red wine in general, they really work." —MichelleMcC
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a version for beer and in multipacks).
6. A Denman hairbrush designed with evenly-spaced bristles to detangle and shape your curls at the same time, cutting your styling time in half. Ughhhh, sounds like heaven to me — how about all my other curly friends? Anything to cut down on the time that my arm has to be sore from brushing.
Promising review: "When my new hairdresser suggested I purchase this brush I kind of rolled my eyes. I mean, a hairbrush is a hairbrush — they all work the same. Boy was I wrong! To say a hairbrush can be life \-changing may sound dramatic, particularly from a 44-year-old woman who’s never really put forth an effort with her frizzy mop of hair, but this brush (and an awesome hairdresser) has suddenly given life to my hair. I’m regularly getting compliments on my hair. I’m able to still be super lazy with my hair and have it look great. I could not possibly be more pleased with this thing." —J. Ayers
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in three sizes and seven colors).
7. A Shark Tank-approved set of two car seat gap fillers so nothing falls into that little car gap, also known as the Bermuda Triangle. Would be super useful if you're like me — clumsy and drop literally everything into this black hole.
The seat gap filler is flexible and fits into most cars. The pack comes with two gap fillers (one for both the driver and passenger sides), a sticky pad for keeping items like your phone from sliding around, and an LED car light.
Promising review: "This product is life changing!!!! I saw it on Shark Tank years ago and immediately bought two. I fell in love with not having to search for my dropped phone among old french fries and gooey substances while painfully squeezing my forearm into a crack half the size of my forearm. This product saves every fallen object with an easily accessible pillowy landing. I have bought it as a present for every single person I care about!!!!" —Jamie V
Get a pair from Amazon for $24.99.
8. A volcanic stone face roller to soak up excess face oil even if you're wearing makeup. This baby is reusable AND washable!! So if you wanna toss those blotting papers, be my guest.
Promising review: "I am extremely oily. I've been dealing with my oily skin since I was in high school and I'm still dealing with my oily skin in my mid 30s. The roller worked better than I could have expected and exceeded my expectations. This is life changing for me!" —Wow
Get it from Amazon for $9.08.
9. A rechargeable car vacuum because you are SICK of your little crumb snatcher kiddos dropping pieces of Pop-Tarts and Pirate's Booty all over your car. Can you even remember a time before having kids where your car ~didn't~ look like someone's personal dump? Keep this thing handy to keep your car muuuch cleaner and keep yourself a bit more sane. And you won't have to search for quarters for the gas station one!
You'll get the vacuum, three attachment heads (flathead, extendable, brush nozzle), a carry bag, filter brush, a spare HEPA filter, and a charger.
Promising review: "The suction is pretty good, it takes a while but it's great for what I need. I hate any bit of dirt so being able to clean it whenever I want is awesome! Definitely a great product for the price. The little brush that gets in the cracks is honestly kinda life changing. I love it!" —olivia faith
Get it from Amazon for $19.58+ (available in four colors/styles).
10. A hair toner mask to save you from constantly throwing $$$ to hairdressers just to keep the brass out your hair. Say goodbye to yellow tones and helloooo to cool, neutral, gorg blonde hair.
Promising reviews: "You need this in your life! I purchased this product on a whim after I bleached my hair. I’ve used your typical purple shampoos before but never really got the results I needed. My hair always pulls brassy so before I used this mask my hair was orange and damaged so I didn’t want to put my hair through another process of developer and toner. The first time I used this mask was literally life changing. Not only was my hair a perfect shade of blonde (and lasted quite a few washes too) but my hair also felt healthy and manageable! Now I will say this mask is PIGMENTED so please follow the directions and you do want to wear the gloves to prevent staining your hands. If you're blonde, do yourself a favor and buy this!" —Lindsey
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
11. A fast-acting HyperChiller for those days you're running a tad bit late but still need your iced coffee fix. Best part of all? You get a heavenly cold cup of coffee in only 60 seconds! Easy peasy!
This 12.5-ounce cup chills all beverages except carbonated ones (think tea, juice, and even wine). Fill it with water and put it in the freezer for 12 hours before using it then the next morning you're all good to go! Plus, it's dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "Life changing. I use this for coffee, tea, and alcohol, and it's made my life so much easier. My preference is always iced coffee over hot, but it's hard to do iced coffee without it getting watered down or taking forever. I usually just drink coffee at the Starbucks where I work, but the easiness of the hyper chiller has me drinking it at home much more often. It cools really fast, almost never taking the full 60 seconds that are recommended. This is one of my favorite coffee tools, and the instructions made it easy to put together." —Sarah Larson
Get it from Amazon for $12.12+ (available in five colors).
12. A set of two reusable Wad-Free tools you might recognize from Shark Tank that'll make laundry day a bit easier on you. Reduce drying time and prevent clothes and sheets from getting all tangled up in each other. Adulting 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: "These are life changing!! The sheets don’t get wound up and twisted full of socks and other things and therefore, you KNOW that those socks and the sheets are CLEAN. Which means no wasting time, soap, water, and electricity washing all that stuff all over again!!!! They’re good for your mood, good for your wallet, and good for the environment. I’m buying a set for my kid going off to college and another set for me so I can do more than two sheets at once." —LHorns 4Ever
Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in packs of two or four).
13. A pack of 36 acne patches because a pimple is NOT ruining our day, babe! These patches absorb gunk and help speed up the pimple-healing process without picking or popping. Abracadabra, psh, what pimple?
Promising review: "I never had acne when I was younger, I got acne when I was in my 20s and I have no self control to not pop and pick them. My skin takes forever to heal, like 2–3 weeks of a scab because I pick them all the time. THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING. They hydrate and heal my scabs in 2–3 DAYS. They pull gunk out even if I pop a zit and wash my face, I put these on and they continue pulling the rest of the stuff out. Truly, I’m in love with these. I told my friends all about them! When I first heard of acne patches I thought 'I’ll never pay money to make a zit go away' but these are affordable and effective. I went through the 36 in less than a week because I had some scabs to heal that took a majority of my patches, but I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to heal their face faster. I also used this on a zit on my bum and it’s healed that one quick for me too!!" —chipper2
Get a 36-pack of the small patches from Amazon for $10.77.
14. An indoor insect trap, which works so well you'll think a fairy summoned all the buggies into it with a spell. Just set this near your plants or fruits and the magical trio of UV light, a powerful fan, and a sticky glue board will trap any fruit flies, moths, or gnats flying around your home. The results may freak you out, so beware. 😳
Promising review: "Life changing!! I have mosquitoes in my house, in my garage, and in my office. Why? Because my kids leave the door open ALL THE time. I CANNOT deal with mosquitoes. I can't. How pleased was I when finding four dead mosquitos after one night of use. THE JOY!!!! Thank you, I just ordered another one!!! <3 <3" —Meg L Collins
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two colors and styles).
15. A bottle of Meltdown acne oil for anyone with acne-prone skin. This reviewer fave helps reduce acne, fade acne scars, and reduce redness and inflammation, all while preventing future breakouts as if by magic. It also keeps you hydrated with rosehip oil and is cruelty-free! Mix it into your moisturizer, wear under makeup, or use it as a spot treatment — this stuff is super versatile!
Blume is a woman-owned, POC-owned small business based in Canada that specializes in cruelty-free, vegan, and environmentally friendly products for skin, body, and period care.
I finally got my hands on this stuff and it is the truth. My skin is brighter, glowing, and super duper clear. I also got the fade serum and honeyyyyy, let me tell you. My dark spots, dark spots I've never been able to get rid of, gone! I have marks on my nose from my glasses, faded away. I am a Blume stan now. I love my skin, but I also get super annoyed with little bumps that seem to never go away. My face is actually so smooth now though. I have oily skin, and I was nervous I'd be a huge ball of grease after using this but nope, not at all! I use it at night and in the morning my skin is perfectly moisturized. Safe to say that I'm in love and their products have become staples in my skincare routine. Life changing for reaaaal.
Check out a TikTok of the Meltdown Acne Oil in action.
Get it from Blume for $28+ (available in two sizes) or Amazon for $27.95.
16. A ChomChom pet hair remover that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller for an easy-peasy cleanup. And this reusable baby doesn't lose its effectiveness after use! If you gotta clean your couch every single day and you absolutely hate it, add this to your cart and thank me later.
Promising review: "This is truly life changing! I have used it to get pet hair off of my furniture, off of my rugs, and even off of a comforter that the cats lay on all the time. This is going to save my washer and dryer so much. It’s really like magic the way it grabs it all! I have two dogs and two cats so this was an amazing find!" —K. Knezevich
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
17. An under-cabinet lid opener because that jar of pickles has been sitting there unopened for like two months because you can't get it to even loosen up. Welp, this thing will give you a helping hand when you need it. Soda, nail polish, jars...no match for this bb.
Oh! And screws are included!
Promising reviews: "I resisted getting one of these because who needs more gadgets that do not work?? This, however, WORKS! It took me two minutes to install to the underside of my over-sink cabinet. The screws were long enough to hold it but not so long that they popped through the other side. I live alone and had stopped buying anything in a jar or bottle because a combination of arthritis, dupuytren's, and a hand injury made it impossible for me to open these types of containers any longer. Now, I can hold the container with two hands, insert it into the V shape and a small twist opens it right up. I highly recommend it." —Kathryn
"This device operates as advertised. Simple, but life changing." —Matthew L. Blackthorne
Get it from Amazon for $18.95.
18. A key alarm so that losing your keys is NEVER an issue again. If you're a bit forgetful and lose your keys pretty much on a daily basis, you'll think this alarm is heaven-sent. It is both iOS- and Android-compatible, is water-resistant, and can find your keys out of Bluetooth range by showing you — through an app — your last Bluetooth-tracked location. This is gonna be a life-changer, friends.
Promising reviews: "I love this product, I'm always losing my keys and these help a lot. One time, I lost my phone at Target after putting it down but after walking around the store and pressing my Tile I was able to hear my phone go off from 50 feet away. These are lifesaving for people who constantly are looking for their things." —Lanelle
"Life-changing. This has saved me so much time and frustration!" —Rebecca L.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five styles and colors).
19. An eight-piece magnetic eyeliner and lashes kit to make putting lashes on way WAY easier. Simply apply the magnetic, smudge-proof liner like you would any liquid top liner, place the magnetic eyelashes right on top, and *voila*! Easy peasy and no messing with lash glue.
You'll get five pairs of magnetic lashes and the liner!
Promising review: "I can honestly tell you that I have spent hours and hours researching this product and when I finally decided to purchase it, I never imagined this would be a life-changing beauty essential! I truly never liked eyelashes because of how difficult they are to apply and maintain but with these, you don’t have to worry about absolutely anything other than applying the eyeliner as you normally would!" —alexa
Get an eight piece set from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sets).
20. A bottle of Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle that'll help give your carpets the cleaning they have soooo needed. This stuff is tough on dirty carpets and will have 'em looking brand-new again no matter how big or old the stains from your kids, pets, or clumsy self (🙋♀️).
This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express cleaners.
Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that specializes in safe, biodegradable cleaning products.
Promising review: "I never write reviews but I had to with this product because it’s literally life changing! I have tried several carpet cleaning solutions. I have a puppy whom I did not train properly due to some life circumstances that made it very hard for me at the time. Now, I am paying the price by having to shampoo my carpets weekly. It’s only in my hallway upstairs and just takes a bit longer than vacuuming, but I have felt I’m wasting my time with the other enzymatic cleaners I have used. They barely make the smell more bearable. This completely took the stench away and now it actually smells lovely in my hallway. I will be making sure this is on auto ship now." —Boymom 03
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents).
21. A dishwasher magnet so nobody ever has to do the awkward guessing game of "what is the current status of this plate I want to eat off of?" (Or worse, nobody accidentally puts a bunch of dirty dishes away. 😬)
22. A roll-on waxing kit because treating yourself to a wax every few weeks is breaking the bank and those coins are adding up! Treat yourself to this bb and do it yourself at home so you can *magically* avoid those salon prices and still keep your legs silky smooth!
The kit includes a premium digital wax warmer, a removable silicone bowl, 20 large applicator sticks, four bags of wax beads, pre- and post-wax oil, 20 mini brow sticks, and a how-to book guide. You can use this for your bikini/Brazilian, face, and body.
Promising review: "Life changing. I was going to European Wax Center for waxes but it's hella expensive. The reviews on this product are great so I gave it a go! So far, I've used the pink wax and have done my toes, legs, and belly. I've been taking my time and doing small patches to start. It's going so well so far! It's not so bad waxing yourself — you have control over when you pull and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have yet to get into my Brazilian region 😬. Definitely helps if you're flexible!!" —Matty Lin
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in two styles).
23. A bleach-free weekly shower spray that'll clean your shower till' it sparkles, but that's not all, friends. This baby also prevents future soap scum buildup. Spray it, let it sit for 8–12 hours (so probz spray before bed), then wake up to a totally new shower.
24. A fresh sod mat with real grass to make potty training your pooch from your apartment without a backyard so SO much easier. It's extra absorbent to soak up liquids and odors so your home stays smelling fresh anddd it's disposable for easy cleanup! You'll be so relieved when your new pup learns to potty on the little mat and not on your expensive new sofa.
Promising review: "You CAN teach an old dog new tricks! When you don’t have a backyard and live in a condo, taking an 18-year-old pug outside to potty 4–5 times a day has becoming more and more challenging, especially during the harsh snowy winter months. Fresh Patch is life changing for both me and my senior dog. Just like training a puppy, it can be extremely frustrating and discouraging, be patient and consistent with your dog." —Martyslc
Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in five sizes).
25. A plant-based dry shampoo made from fulvic acid and rice and tapioca powders that'll absorb all that oil — *and* it delivers over 65 minerals directly into your hair follicles. So, yes, you can skip wash night tonight if you need.
Act + Acre is a woman-owned small biz based in NYC that apecializes in dry shampoo that is cruelty-free and made without talc, aluminum, alcohol, aerosols, parabens, phthalates, gluten, and fragrances.
Promising review: "My hair is super oily and I usually can only wear it down the day I wash it and then it's in a pony because I can't stand how oily it is! This is honestly life-changing for me! There is no scent and it doesn't get all grimy or cake-y like all other dry shampoos I have used and my hair doesn't smell bad from residue build up. It feels like there is nothing there at all! I will definitely be a lifelong customer." —Theresa Leach
Get it from Amazon for $24 (also available in a two-pack).
26. A dog feeding tracker so everyone in the house knows if the fur baby has been fed. No more texting the family group chat to see if Toto ate or not — let this little tracker make life a liiiiittle easier.
This tracker comes equipped with magnets and self-adhesive backing for different mounting options. And if you don't have a dog, no worries! There are also versions for cats and fish and one that tracks if the kids brushed their teeth.
Promising review: "Perfect for what we needed! We have two cats who gobble down food and then pretend like they weren't fed, so this is life-changing! It comes with two Command-strip-like sticky things so we stuck ours right above the cat food area so we never forget! The things slide very easy. Great purchase, especially for the price! We love it, the cats aren't a fan!" —Dani Lilley
Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in five styles).

Dr.Tung's is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral care products.
Promising review: "If you don’t own a tongue scraper you need to buy this RIGHT NOW. It’s so life changing, lol. I used to just simply brush my tongue, but a tongue scraper does a much better job. It feels funny at first and you have to press down hard and scrape to get things off, but you get used to it quickly! I typically rinse mine as I scrape with hot water and then clean it off again when I'm finished." —Nicolette
Get it from Amazon for $6.50 (also available in multipacks).
28. A self-sealing, airtight, and leakproof reusable silicone bag so you can stop having to buy more and more plastic sandwich baggies. They're microwave safe, dishwasher safe, oven safe (up to 400 degrees), and freezer safe. Helloooo win.
This bag is free of BPA, PVC, and latex.
Promising reviews: "We are slowly getting rid of one-use items in our house. It takes time and can be a bit costly, so, baby steps. I love these bags, they are of excellent quality and thickness. The seal goes together quite well and there are many different sizes to choose from. I washed mine in the dishwasher and they do well. I do have to dry them when they come out, but that's no big deal to me." —Casandra M. Cothran
"Must have! These are amazing and life changing." —Colleen E Caporal
