1. A peel-off face mask made with activated charcoal so you can really dig in deep and get those nasty blackheads up and OUT of your face forever. Use this stuff two to three times a week for optimal results, and get ready to glow no matter your skin type.
Promising review: "This product has helped my skin a lot with getting all those pesky little blackheads off my nose. It's kinda gross to see the blackheads all come off my skin and stuck on the mask but awesome at the same time cuz now the blackheads are out of my skin! Just make sure to wash your face afterward to clean out those now open pores and then apply moisturizer to your face." —Maddy
Get the mask and an application brush from Amazon for $9.94.
2. A pack of reusable Swiffer pads which is a super smart investment, as not only do they clean like a breeze, but once they get dirty, simply toss them in the washing machine, and they come out as good as new. Yes, I'm SERIOUS. How cool is that?
They're compatible with both the original Swiffer and the Swiffer Wet Jet!
Promising review: "My dog is super super hairy which means she sheds a lot! Every night before bed I have to sweep or my socks will catch her fur. The second one is just a bonus, I use one for sweeping and the second for mopping. Saves me money too because I don't have to go through boxes every two weeks. If you're into long lasting and sustainability this is definitely perfect for you. Especially if you have pets. Will definitely buy again once these two start to wear a bit." —A.G.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.49.
3. A pack of dishwasher tablets to instantly zap nasty odor-causing residue and limescale, leaving your dishwasher sparkling clean and as good as new. Yes, go figure, you have to clean the machine that cleans your dishes.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super-cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila

4. A bottle of Goo Gone degreaser which is truly a miracle foam you can spritz on all kinds of kitchen products, from pots and pans to counters and stovetops. Say goodbye to kitchen messes and hello to sparkling surfaces in no time.
5. A mildew and stain-removing spray because nobody wants uninvited guests, especially ones that smell funky. This stuff is perf for stains on your lovely outdoor deck, brick walls, kitchen and bathroom surfaces, and even drywall and vinyl siding.
Promising review: "I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand-new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes and a multipack).

Promising review: "WOW!!! This stuff is incredible! I work in an environment that is very dirty and our office is always covered in a fine layer of dust. But just a few minutes spent mashing this slime into all the cracks and crevices of my keyboard, mouse, phone, etc and it's all clean as can be! This stuff picks up dirt on contact and leaves behind a clean, no smell, no residue surface. I bought a second jar for my vehicle and it works miracles in there as well. My air vents, shifter and seats are now spotless. I couldn't be happier with this product." —Jenna75
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three colors).
8. A pack of dermaplaning razors that are tiny titans who will exfoliate and remove unwanted facial hair, leaving your complexion glowing. Did I mention they're also recyclable and travel-friendly?
Promising review: "I used to pay a professional to dermaplane my face once a month to remove the peach fuzz, which makes me look older and makes the makeup application more cumbersome. I searched for years for a home product to use to save money and time. This is the closest I have been able to get to professional dermaplaning in the convenience of my home, on my time/schedule, and at a fraction of the price. Love it!" —SEM1969

9. A jar of moisturizing cream for dry, cracked, and otherwise unhappy skin. Quench your skin's thirst instantly with this hypoallergenic formula that's totally safe for daily use.
For best results, you apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime.
Promising reviews: "I am a nurse and use alcohol-based hand sanitizer as well as wash my hands with soap and water multiple times a day, every day. My hands have been so dry and peeling and irritated. After one use, my hands felt moisturized and soft. I've been using other products and they feel as if they don't penetrate the dry layer of my skin. This product is by far the best I've used." —MARINA
"Every winter, my fingers and knuckles crack and bleed. I've tried everything on the market to heal my hands. I received this hand cream yesterday, and when I put it on, I could tell right away that it was better than anything I'd tried. This stuff started working immediately. I filled all the cuts and cracks on my hands with this cream, and today they are almost healed. I believe that this is the best hand cream ever made on earth." —Steve

Promising review: "Not only did I receive several compliments by both women and men, but my lashes looked amazing for 12+ hours and then came off with just water. I’m so impressed. I love this so much more than any of the mascaras I’ve bought at makeup stores or received via Ipsy. Time to turn on auto-ship!" —PatriciaJ
Get it from Amazon for $10.06+ (available in colors styles and in two packs).
11. A cooktop cleaning kit because grease, grime, and tough stains should be NO match for you when you're in Ultimate Kitchen Cleaning Mode. Honestly, a sparkling stove is the secret ingredient to every great meal.
The kit includes a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains.
Promising review: "This works amazingly! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years — I only wiped them down with random multi cleaners which never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product — AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said it will leave your cooktop shiny and new — even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off: 98% better." —B. Swartwood
Get it from Amazon for $11.48.
12. A helpful hook for your car that's perfect for face masks, scrunchies, or any other item you may think of. It slides right into your vents, so it's impossible to miss, keeping everything right in your line of sight and off the floor, thank you very much.
Promising review: "I ordered 10 of these to give out for the holidays and everyone loved them! I usually hang two to three masks on each no problem. My boyfriend and I both used them in our Honda Civics and it was a perfect, very secure clamp into the vent." —Stephanie Chang
Archers Design Shop is a small Etsy shop based in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Get it from Archers Design Shop on Etsy for $4.50 (available in four colors).
13. A Maybelline concealer to banish dark circles once and for all (or at least make them a little less noticeable). This multi-use formula also reduces redness, brightens dull skin, and leaves you soft, supple, and absolutely stunning.
Read our Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer review (#4 on the list)!
Here's an excerpt: "I still don’t know how a $7 tube of concealer (I use the Neutralizer shade) beats out the more expensive ones I have stuffed into my vanity, but it does. It’s not too creamy or thick, yet it still gives solid coverage without the cakey feeling.
"When I am done with my entire routine, my eyes look lighter and brighter, but not in a way that’s totally obvious — even when photos are taken and the flash is on. Basically what I am saying here is this is a staple beauty product that, IMHO, deserves a place in every makeup bag!" —Kayla Suazo, former BuzzFeed Shopping editor
Get it from Amazon for $8.80+ (available in 17 shades).
14. A fog-free shower mirror so freakin' brilliant, you'll wonder what your life was like before it. Just imagine: You hop out of a warm, steamy shower and can go STRAIGHT to skincare without wiping down your mirror. Pretty amazing, eh?
Promising review: "This is a great mirror. I use it to shave under my arms because I have neck issues and can no longer comfortably see under my arms. I lift it off its hook right before I start shaving to clear it of fog (if there’s any) by running it under the water for a few seconds and it stays clear long after I’m done." —MB
Get it from Amazon for $10.97+ (available in three sizes/styles).
15. A jewelry-cleaning stick because your dazzling diamonds, stones, and the like deserve to be treated like the gems they are. Restore them to their previous glossy-looking luster with a little twist, brush 'n' dazzle.
Promising review: "This little pen brush is incredible! I wasn't sure if it would work well on my emerald engagement ring, since it's mostly advertised for diamonds, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have been wearing the ring since getting engaged in October, and even though I had it cleaned at the jeweler's in April, it just didn't seem as bright as it was when it was new, and I thought it would just always be a little cloudy. But after cleaning it once with the Dazzle Stik, I was blown away by the difference — it looks as bright and sparkly as when I first got it! I'm so glad I didn't buy an ultrasonic cleaner, since this is so much less expensive and easier and gentler. It took me less than a minute to clean, and I can do it whenever I want! And it's honestly better than when the jeweler cleaned it. So thrilled!" —KFray
Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in three other styles).
16. A nourishing, TikTok-famous rinse-out hair treatment reviewers rave about for effectively softening dyed or damaged hair, leaving behind a sweet and subtle scent everyone you get close to will notice and likely compliment.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this conditioner. It's light enough to use every other wash and it smells amazing. I have ultra fine, curly blonde hair that’s extremely prone to breakage and I feel like my hair has grown an inch since using this product. Just bought two more bottles because I never want to run out of this magic." —sgt
Get it from Amazon for $8.20+ (available in two sizes).
17. A long, flexible coil brush ideal for getting pesky crumbs, fur, and dryer lint out of hard-to-reach places from drying machines, vent pipes to vacuums, and hard-to-reach furniture gaps. Versatile? Yes. Must-have? Absolutely.
18. A pair of teeth-whitening pens formulated with professional gel that's both high-quality *and* super effective. These babies are designed to be compact, travel-friendly, AND they only take 30 seconds of daily use. Amazing.
19. A bottle of soap scum and grime remover spray to make your bathtub absolutely SPARKLE. The light, lemony scent smells fantastic, plus this stuff is free of bleach, acid, and other harsh chemicals and won't harm your septic system.
Promising review: "I'll be honest, I don't normally take time out of my day to write reviews for stuff I buy. This stuff, though, is genuinely amazing. It arrived at my door about an hour and a half ago, I used it, and then I rushed here to write about it... That's how good it is. I've got a ~22-year-old shower stall that I use daily, with lots and lots of good, quality soap. I have purchased at least ten or fifteen different products from different manufacturers that claim to tackle tough soap scum (plus tried a variety of home-made fixes, too), and nothing really ever works. I can usually use my fingernails and scrape soap powder off, that's how bad it is. I've had to use an actual wire cup on my drill to get anywhere.This stuff? I sprayed it twice and let it sit for 15 minutes or so each time before wiping it off. The scum and grime CAME OFF! For the first time since I've been in this house, my shower actually looks clean without having to resort to using power tools. It's the cleanest and shiniest I've ever seen it. I can't recommend this product enough if you need something for tough grime." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.98.
20. An exfoliating glove that will scrub away dullness and reveal your true radiance. It's a spa experience that you can do from home or, really, anywhere you take it.
Promising review: "Let me just say that I am SO glad these come in a two-pack! I live in the Midwest, and as the cold weather sets in and heaters are turned on, your skin gets so dry that it's painful! These have saved me! I'm 56-years-old, and as we all know, your skin gets thinner and more sensitive with age. These little gloves are PERFECT! It's not harsh, but just enough to remove that very, very thin layer of drying skin to reveal the soft skin underneath. THANK YOU!" —candy crooks
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of two).
21. A hands-free reading light made to loop around your neck with an ultra-comfortable ergonomic design. Lay back and enjoy as it emits a soft, flicker-free LED light, and you plow through that ever-growing TBR pile.
Promising review: "This product is excellent. I was looking for a reading light to attach to my bed but none would fit. I saw this and ordered it. The light is bright and provides excellent reading quality. It is infinitely adjustable and has two settings on each side. I use both lights to read. The single flood light is good for walking around in the dark." —Beantowndoc
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors).
22. An illuminating moisturizer for a natural-looking glow-up that'll leave you looking and feeling fresh and dewy as a daydream, from dawn ’til dusk. It's lightweight, too, and works fabulously as a primer.
Promising review: "I love this product. It makes it look like you have a natural glow, without feeling heavy or looking cakey. Great for those with dry skin who can’t wear heavy foundation but want to smooth out their skin." —Jessica Giles
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in four shades).
23. An air-dry leave-in cream that's the secret to perfectly tousled, frizz-free locks without the fuss of heat styling. Let your hair shine with all its healthy might (and smell like vanilla and coconut, yum).
Promising review: "I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while my waves resemble curls but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product one time so far and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant so I was skeptical but after about 15 minutes I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror and I was amazed. It looked styled rather than a ratty mess. I slept on it and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610
Get it from Amazon for $8.39.
24. A dry shampoo foam that's perfect for busy bees who don't have time to do a full wash and blow dry (or air dry if you're like me). No water needed — just spray it on and massage it into your scalp. Bonus points for NO icky residue left behind.
Promising review: "When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through and smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, with no residue or buildup like powder-dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, giving my fine flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can’t go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." —Amelia Tilton
Get it from Amazon for $6.
25. A pack of plate clips for spices, ketchup, ranch, veggies, vinegar, all the condiments...you get the picture. Simply clip your fave dips and snack away to your heart's content. It's a picnic lover's dream.
Promising review: "We are a household that loves our condiments! They are perfect for separating sauces and also for portion control while sharing. I like that they are different colors too! Definitely comes in handy when you are separating sauces for wings and need to be able to tell the difference. They stay on all of my plates great, including medium saucers. I highly recommend!" —Rebecca H.
Get an eight-piece set from Amazon for $8.99.
26. A dermatologist-recommended tinted sunscreen that's specially made for folks with sensitive skin. Fragrance-free, this stuff provides SPF 41, so you can enjoy the sun in all its glory without getting burned (just make sure to reapply frequently).
27. And a waterproof car trash can, which comes complete with a specially designed set of trash bags (whoa, so cool). Keep your ride clean as a whistle, and get ready to cruise in the ultimate clutter-free style.
The set comes with a trash can, a lid and ten trash bags.
Promising review: "Great trash can for my car! Admit it, if you're looking for a car trash can, your car probably looks like it’s been to a fraternity party even though you're a full-grown adult. Don't be embarrassed. Ok, maybe you should be. Just buy this trash can and get your stuff together, one candy wrapper at a time." —LF
