3. A Baker's Edge brownie pan for any edge piece lover. No more fighting over the good pieces cuz every piece will be a good one! Crispy edges and an ooey gooey middle — where's Cosmo and Wanda cuz I def wished for this about a billion times? Come to the dark side, they've got edge-piece brownies with DOUBLE edges.
Baker's Edge is a small biz that specializes in baking products.
Pssttt...you can also use this baby for other things — one reviewer even made pizza in theirs! It also comes with a spatula.
Promising review: "Yes, brownies are so much better in this pan, no more fighting over edges. But the real revolution for us is meatloaf. Every slice has crispy edges, and this is far easier to clean than a muffin pan, which was how we made meatloaf before. Love this pan, and bought one for a gift right after getting ours. Will gift it again in the future." —Seano
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in three styles).
4. Some haircutting clips that'll give you salon-worthy cuts and have you going around telling everyone you're now a hairdresser. Layers, bangs, a trim, — you want it? You got it, all by yourself, and that's on Ariana Grande and all seven of her rings.
5. 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 sofa.
6. A five-pack of disposable ShredSkinz sauna jackets to get the most out of your workouts and maximize sweat. This little jacket will have you dripping quick so you can leave the gym feeling like you just kicked that workout's butt. And when you're done, simply toss it in the trash or be extra dramatic and rip it off of your body. We live for the drama.
They're from a Black-owned business!
Promising review: "I am the type that doesn’t feel like my workout was legit unless I broke a true sweat! I went to the park on a 70-degree day and ran/walked 3 miles and I have NEVER produced this much sweat! I felt amazing taking it off and and seeing all the sweat fall to the ground. Wearing one once a week in my outdoor cardio days from now on and I cannot wait to try it out in the gym with a hoodie over it!" —Ra'eesah Brown
Get a pack of five from ShredSkinz for $20 or from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors).
7. A hair catcher for your shower that'll prevent your hair from clogging up your drain. Save yourself the headache of having to call maintenance and get yourself one of these bad boys. Simply put it over your drain and replace it every few months. Now excuse me as I *add to cart*.
Promising review: "These are a simple solution to a gross problem! My hair caused a very slow drain on our shower and I hated having to keep dumping chemicals into the system to fix it! This little contraption solved the issue and just kept going! I haven’t tried to clean it to reuse — what comes out of the drain when we remove it is absolutely disgusting and I don’t want to touch it — but I love that they are economical enough that I don’t feel terrible about tossing them. This has saved us from so many caustic chemicals and expensive plumber visits that I can forgive its disposable nature!!" —Jennifer Tretheway
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $12.50+ (available in 2- and 12-packs and in four colors/styles).

9. A plant-based tub and tile cleaner with eucalyptus and tea tree that works wonders and helps brighten up your bathroom surfaces. It'll give you sparkling clean floors and it's made with biodegradable ingredients!
Promising review: “Best cleaning product I’ve ever used. I don’t usually go for all natural cleaning materials because, honestly, a lot of them don’t do what they say they’re going to. This one, on the other hand, definitely does the job! I tried it out on my brother's college bathtub (none of the boys had cleaned it since move in a year before). I covered the entire tub, waited five minutes, and then scrubbed with a magic sponge/rinsed. Most everything washed off immediately!!! I covered the more difficult areas once more and it was good as new!” —Anonymous
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.07+ (also available as a single-pack and in a three-pack).
10. 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.
11. A tube of all-natural Nerdwax to keep your glasses in place because every time you look down at the egg prices at the grocery store they slide right off your face. Keep those suckers in place without needing ear hooks or nose pads.
12. And a magnetic eyeglass holder so you can stop pulling a Velma, walking around saying, "my glasses, where are my glasses?" Put this on your shirt and easily keep track of where your specs are at all times. Best part? It's like a pin but without the part where you gotta poke it through your clothes!

16. A pack of two Dip Clips so you can eat easily on those days when you're on the go all day. Clip this onto your air vent and enjoy your nuggets mess-free. Such a clever little invention!
Saucemoto is a small biz founded in 2017.
Okay, besties, so I have not stopped bragging about my little chicky nuggy dip clip since I got it last Christmas. This is by far one of my favorite things I've ever received. I LOVE chicken nuggets, but I did not like trying to dunk my nuggets while in my car — a mess. This thing is so convenient for days where I don't have much time to eat and just have to grab something quick and keep going. Get yourself one if you're nugget obsessed like me. Everyone who's seen it in my car has gotten one for themselves and not regretted it!
Promising review: "This is the greatest invention. I’m in my car a lot and anytime I order any fast food I always have to order dip, doesn’t matter what I’m eating. This thing came in handy not only for me but my son, too. Perfect for me because it comes with two holders and I like at least two dips at a time. I know I’m making this out to sound like it’s a billion dollar invention but I just love it. It’s a very handy thing to have in your car. I’m forever spilling my sauces all over the place because there is nowhere to put them, and then I saw this and knew I just had to try it. It’s a total game changer in my car. Thanks to whoever invented this. It’s GREAT!!" —Denise

Okay soooo I finally got my hands on this and can not stop wearing it!! The shade it turns on my skin is just GORG. It's like watching a magic trick happen on your face because it changes right on your skin! It just makes me look so fresh faced. Obsessed is an understatement.

Promising review: "I'm done, no more experimenting with other blushes, this is my forever blush. BYO is such a unique product on the market — it's plant-based, provides a natural/beautiful bespoke flush, and can be used on the lips as well. Its color-changing formula is a game-changer as it magically picks the most complementary shade/hue for the user. Furthermore, I don't feel like I'm wearing makeup, and the oil formula is nourishing for my skin! I loved it so much I bought all my friends a BYO Blush!" —JZ
19. A super warm wearable blanket, The Comfy, aka possibly the most genius invention ever. This cozy piece of goodness will allow you to walk around wearing a blanket without, ya know, using a real one that'll drag on the floor behind you. You're sure to fall in love with this extra *comfy*, fluffy little angel baby.
So, I have one of these and I call it my pajelehoocho. A pajelehoocho? Yeah, anyone ever watch Victorious, the episode where Cat's wearing that thing that's pajamas, a hoodie, leggings, and everything in between. It was the pajelehoocho and this warm little angel product is so cozy it just gave me pajelehoocho vibes. But anyways, one size fits all and this is literally like wearing your favorite warm blanket. I think this was one of my fave gifts I've ever gotten because I'm always cold. Seriously cannot get through winter without my pajelehoocho. This is the only thing that actually keeps me warm and I'm here to say it's def worth alllll the hype.
Promising review: "Literally THE BEST $40 I’ve spent in YEARS. EVERYONE. MUST. OWN. ONE. Now, I think I need another one in black, mine is so freaking awesome!! I’m training a puppy in the middle of the dead of northern Michigan winter and I don’t ever take the thing off, because I’m inside and outside all day long. I like this better than wearing a jacket. It really truly does make you feel comfy, borderline lazy because I ain’t going to lie, waking up in blankets is so wonderful, it’s easy to go right back to sleep. If I had $$$ I’d gift one to everyone I know. I recently watched a 2020 special where this was found and blown up on Shark Tank. These are the greatest things since sliced bread especially in places with harsh winters. 10 out of 5 STARS!! I would be shocked if anyone buys this and regrets it. Absolutely phenomenal product and value, big bang for your buck." —Sarah

21. A pair of discreet, form-fitting acoustic filter earplugs if you're a bit sensitive to loud noise but totally wanna enjoy every single music festival once summer rolls around. They'll reduce damaging decibel levels without hurting the sound quality so you can jam out without your ears ringing in pain.
22. A 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.
Drop Stop is a small biz that sells car accessories.
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: "These are the greatest thing for your car. Things fall out of my pockets and always find their way down the side of the seat. I have given these as gifts and they are always welcomed and people say 'how did I ever live without these.' THE BEST!!!!" —cathy
Get a pair from Amazon for $24.99.
23. A "Bug Bite Thing" that suctions bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness. Summer will be here before we know it, and that means the mosquitoes are comin' back and those pesky bites are about to be sooo annoying. Make sure to have one of these bad boys handy.
This works on bites and stings from 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 $9.95+ (available in three colors and in multipacks).
24. An app-enabled 42-page Rocketbook Fusion reusable notebook with lined and grid pages, a planner, calendar, and brainstorming pages, as well as a compatible pen and cleaning cloth.

You can write on the pages the way you would a regular notebook, upload the page onto your devices, and wipe the notebook clean with water to use all over again. It works with writing utensils from the Pilot FriXion line.
Promising review: "I've been looking for a paperless solution for work for some time now and a friend recommended the Rocketbook. After reading through reviews and talking to my friend, I decided to purchase the Rocketbook Fusion — for my needs, I thought the template pages would be very useful. I was super excited when the package arrived and immediately downloaded the app and set up my preferences. The setup process was quick and easy and I started using the notebook right away. Pages are very easy to clean and it was nice that a microfiber cloth was included with the notebook. I'm very happy with this purchase and already bought another Fusion notebook for a friend's birthday. HIGHLY recommend!!!" —Alycia Lewis
Get it from Amazon for $23.45+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).
25. Some miniature spatulas so you can scoop out every bit of lotion, foundation, jam, ketchup, or whatever it is that you're beating to squeeze out the last drops from the bottle. I get it! It feels like soooo much foundation goes to waste when it's getting low, but not anymore!!
The set comes with one spatula with a 6-inch handle, and another with a 12-inch handle.
Promising review: "So worth it! I'm so happy with it. You will definitely save money using this. I think about how much I could have saved if this was invented 30 years ago. I mostly use it for small makeup jars. I tested out the longer one on a 18-ounce lotion and it worked fine. Some reviews complain about not being able to get every curve and corner of their container...oh please. You get so much more than you would without it." —Liz

Promising review: "I work for the railroad and I am always getting my hands dirty! I could never seem to find anything that worked. Also, I live in Utah so when it starts getting cold, my hands dry out. Well, with Grip Clean that doesn’t happen! I have my coworkers coming to my locker asking to get some soap since the soap we have at work doesn't work as well as Grip Clean!" —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "This has proven to be a great purchase. I have also purchased two others as gifts. It matches my bedroom and sits on my vanity. Looks great with the decor. More than that it is very convenient to clean my makeup brushes, nail files, etc. If it fits you can use it in this PhoneSoap.

This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung
