Promising review: "This is absolutely worth the money! I was in desperate need of a planner to organize my life! Mostly budget wise! I was looking at a website that had gorgeous planners but were 60-80 bucks. That was too much for me, as a beginner " lets organize my life" thing. lol If you are looking for a planner, GET THIS!!!!! The color is beautiful too! Came quickly too!" —Jen82
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in 11 colors and in two sizes).
2. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you literally "set and forget." Spray your shower from top to bottom, wait for 8-12 hours, and rinse. Not only will your shower stay clean for a week, it will also smell like vanilla. Your super busy schedule will feel less overwhelming with this time saver.
Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and multipack options).
3. A genius meal planning pad to help you acknowledge the biggest adulting mantra: "There's food at home." Take the time to create a grocery list and plan meals and snacks. Hopefully it'll convince you to save money, because you've been "treating yourself" just about every day now.
Promising review: "This simple tool is just what I need to get dinner organized for each week. Deciding what to cook one night at a time can be stressful for me, and the added time of running to the store for the day's missing ingredients can really add up. Sometimes we'd just give up and go out for dinner. This product has saved me time and money." —minmom24
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five designs).
4. A fume-free oven cleaner that cleans all of your baking accidents that left their mark in your oven. Whether you're deep cleaning or spot cleaning, just spray over the mess, wait a few seconds, and wipe. Erase any evidence of baking mishaps and keep those secrets to yourself.
Promising review: "I saw this on a TikTok. I have used Easy Off in the past but hated the smell. This is so much better and let me tell you I am super sensitive to smells. Works great in the oven, and also as I saw on the video works great in shower stalls and tubs!" —Amy L Viau
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in a pack of two).
5. Or a natural and eco-friendly oven scrubbing cleaner, in case aerosol sprays aren't a good fit for your household. It might require a little more elbow grease to clean, but reviewers say it's totally worth it.
This oven scrub is made out of 100% plant and mineral-derived ingredients. To clean your oven, apply the scrub over the oven surface including the interior glass, scrub with a metallic or scouring sponge, then use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface.
Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products and microfiber cloths.
Promising review: "This is the first time in my 50+ years that I have actually enjoyed cleaning my oven. And no, I am not joking! This product is effective, easy to work with, smells amazing, AND I only used a tiny amount of product!!! I don't think I could imagine a way to improve this product. Highly, highly recommend it!!! Well worth any wait." —Diane Coury
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
6. A Tineco lightweight cordless vacuum featuring some serious suction power to remove that stubborn strand of hair you keep having to re-vacuum. One charge equals 70 minutes of use. The best part is that you can turn it into a handheld vac and use it to clean your car or your furniture.
Promising review: "I am blown away with just how good the Tineco cordless vacuum cleaner is! I have had a short-haired kitten inside my house for six months and the amount of cat hair and dust and dirt that I have picked up with the cordless vacuum is astonishing." —kjnlor
Get it from Amazon for $229.
7. Or a robot vacuum that cleans messes and random crumbs so you can keep your floors looking spotless. It's perfect for rugs, hardwood, tile, and stone floors. As long as this little machine is on the move, you'll forget what it was like having a dirty floor.
Promising review: "Wow... worth the money!!!! Thanks to my mom, ever since I got my Eufy vacuum robot, I was in LOVE!!!! It did an amazing job keeping the house clean. Honestly, I was so impressed with the vacuum. You would think my house was clean, but when I used the vacuum on the house, it picked up so much dirt and junk, it was incredible. What was so astounding about Eufy was it was so quiet and yet, the suctioning power was impressive." —YKR
Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in two colors).

8. An easily portable (and even packable!) handheld steamer to save you some time if ironing takes too long. It doesn't have to stop at just clothes — you can be a super-adult and steam your bedding so it feels like you're at a hotel.
Promising review: "Bought this to de-wrinkle some linen tablecloths and lace table runners for my son's wedding reception. It worked very well. Linen tablecloths were a great test for it since they are a fairly hard type of cloth to get wrinkles out of. It only took a few minutes to heat up completely and I used it for a couple of hours nonstop. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase — especially since it was less than $35! You can't go wrong with this handy little steamer. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the size of the water tank. I wish it were slightly bigger, but since it heats up so quickly, there really isn't anything to complain about." —WeekendWarrior2017
Get it from Amazon for $28.99.
9. A shirt-folding board, because you can't keep stuffing bunched-up clothes in your drawers or on your shelves. If you think you're running out of space to fit your clothes, try folding them with this board. You'll be surprised to see how much space you actually have.
Promising review: "My first reaction? 'Why did I buy this?' Then I opened the box and wasn't too convinced about the way it looked, as some edges look like they would quickly snap with use. Then I gave it a try with a couple of shirts I had just washed, and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neat, and easy. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. Must try! Am in love with how beautiful it left my clothes." —Jesus Antonio Vedia
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four colors).
10. A pack of baking mats designed to be a nonstick barrier that will keep your baked goods from leaving a crumbly mess on your baking sheet. If you're at that stage where you enjoy a quick and easy clean up, then this sheet is definitely for you.
Along with the basic baking mat, Amazon also has one especially for baking perfectly-sized macarons!
Promising review: "I have always seen bakers recommend these sorts of products but never tried them myself. When I recently received new bakeware I wanted to protect them so I bought these mats. I should have bought some sooner! So easy to clean, heat distribution was great and my new pans are saved! Definitely recommend!" —Melissa
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.28+ (available in two styles and packs of three or four).
11. A pack of two kitchen sink strainers, because you're tired of bits of food going down the drain and forming a smelly clog. The adult in you is telling you to get something that catches the food immediately. Simply place the strainer in the drain opening and remove it when you need to empty any scraps it caught.
Promising review: "Wished I had bought these sooner! So much better than any of the plastic/rubberized ones that stain. These metal strainers do not move around and they catch so much gunk that doesn't go down the drains now. Easy to clean in the sink with a brush or throw them in the dishwasher on occasion to clean. I've had these for a few months now and they are just as shiny as the day I bought them and they keep so much debris from going down the drains. Very useful items." —RSU
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
12. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner if your sink smells like a combination of every meal you've had in the past five years, and you're tired of it. You need this cleaner in your drain ASAP. The foaming bubbles will clean your drain and leave it smelling lemony fresh!
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78+ (also available in a pack of two).
13. A mountable tracker device that asks, "Did you feed the dog?" It comes with magnets too, so you can put it on the fridge and never forget if you fed your fur baby. Don't let those puppy dog eyes fool you into over feeding (although, a treat never hurt anyone).
Promising review: "I use this to keep track of whether or not I gave my dog his pill in the morning and evening. It has eliminated the 'did I or didn't I' question. I'd recommend this to anyone with a dog or who needs to remember anything." —Rachel Senterfeit
Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (also in other reminders like brushing your teeth, taking your pills, and feeding the fish or cat).
14. And a similar device for humans (or animals) you can stick right on the pill bottle! When you're finished with your medicine, just peel the tracker off of the empty bottle and put it on any refills you get!
Promising review: "This is a lifesaver! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I’ve tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." —Niki
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).
15. Or a weekly pill organizer designed with silicone lids that allow you to simply push something as small as an aspirin or as large as a fish oil capsule with little effort. The caps have two different colors so you can organize what you need to take in the a.m. and p.m. It also comes with a magnetic base so you can remove the container, making it travel-friendly.
Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure, but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues.
Promising review: "Love this thing!!! I'm only 30 and didn't want an old lady pill box... and this one was modern and cool. The little slots to push in pills is fantastic and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one days worth of pills, set it on my counter and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" —Chicken McNugget
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four color combinations).
16. An absolutely ingenious purse-cleaning sticky ball, because you can't believe how many crumbs have found their way to the bottom of your bag. Good thing you can just drop this in your purse, and let it collect all of the lint and crumbs. Then when you suddenly remember to clean out your purse, the only thing you'll have to do is empty it, wash it, dry it, and put it back in your bag like nothing happened.
Promising review: "Picks up a lot for being so little. This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse; which I live out of. It picks up a lot lint, debris or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" —dj3biggs
Get it from Amazon for $11.29+ (available in three colors and a pack of three).
17. A soap-dispensing dish brush that might make doing the dishes a little more enjoyable. Your plates can go from filthy to spotless without you touching a single inch of disgusting wet food residue.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Katy Herman has tried this and says: "I actually put this in my dad's stocking last Christmas, but it was a gift for us all. The handle is the perfect length and thickness to give you lots of control while keeping your hands clean, and the soap-dispensing button is so easy and satisfying. It does need frequent refills, but those are easy — just unscrew the handle! I also didn't even realize it has a built-in scraper on the end till just now, so I can't wait to try it out and potentially fall in love with this thing even more than I already have."
Promising review: "The best dish brush! Bristles are tough but soft. They don’t break down over time easily. And they don’t scratch my dishes. Soap dispenser has a button to squirt out dish soap easily. Works well, every time. Biggest con for me is how little dish soap it holds. But then again, I’m known for using A LOT of dish soap so it’s partly my fault for using it all up so quickly. It’s a small con for me since this is easily my favorite dish brush I’ve had. I bought a second one and filled I with Dawn and white vinegar and keep it in my shower to clean as I shower. Super easy and doesn’t feel like a chore. Highly recommend!" —SMH1106
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two styles).

"I ended up editing this a little bit to better fit our needs but this was perfect! It made it so easy. My house hasn’t been this clean in a while. Lol" —Kathleen Cronin

20. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes, aka the answer to your starving plant crisis. Place a few of them in the soil and watch your droopy plant spring back to life!
Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season.
Promising review: "I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." —victoria
Get 48 spikes from Amazon for $5.69, and get a version for orchids here.
21. And a super helpful moisture meter you can just pop in the (indoor or outdoor) soil to determine whether it's time to water your plant babies. If you always end up with sad-looking plants, then you definitely need to give this tool a try.
Promising review: "Who knew that one needs an accurate way to measure soil moisture levels? I saw a gardening expert using one of these, and it clicked. Earlier this summer I asked a friend why so many plants die so easily, and she said the number one problem is over-watering. Well, no more. I've only had this for a month, but my plants are looking perky and happy. So far this appears to be accurate, and I now feel more confident investing in more houseplants. Very easy to use, and no special care required." —empower7
Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (available in three colors).
22. A pack of 12 shoe storage boxes if your sneakers, ankle boots, and flats could probably use a little help staying organized. Stack, then snap the boxes into place to keep your floor mess-free!
Promising Review: "I bought one set because I had very low expectations. When the small box arrived, I was prepared to be 100% disappointed, BUT these are amazing!!! I didn’t at all think they were going to be sturdy when connected. I was just negative the entire time. BUT once together, they were great. I have a size 11 foot, and my sneakers fit nicely. I just ordered three more sets, and by the way, they work really good for hats. My husband has all his hats in them, too. They are perfect for hats as well as shoes. I highly recommend." —Rochelle A.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes).
23. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets formulated to remove limescale and mineral buildup in your dishwasher. These tablets also clean your dishwasher's tub, racks, pump and valve, drain, and recirculation hoses. After all, your dishes can't truly be clean if your dishwasher isn't clean.
Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!
Promising reviews: "This was simple to use, smelled good, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the dishwasher after the recommended cleaning cycle. This product actually did what it advertises that it will do! Great results, fairly economical — and by the way — it works!" —Old Southern Charm
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.95+ (also available in a pack of two).

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in eight finishes).

Lotus Sustainables is a small company based in California that is on a mission to provide smart, sustainable solutions to eliminate plastic bags from shopping. They sell items such as trolley bags, produce bags, and cart clips.
Promising Review: "I can't rate this set highly enough. So easy to pack everything in there as you shop. When you check out, you know exactly what bag to pack everything into again because you've already done it. The bags are huge and sturdy — and when you unload your car at home, there are only four bags you need to take out of your trunk! Before the single-use plastic bag ban took effect in our area, if you told me that my whole grocery shop could fit into four bags, I would not have believed you, but these bags do the trick. And the aqua bag is insulated and easy to wipe down after you remove your meats. The rods running across sometimes need a bit of adjusting but overall, its a great design and I highly recommend." —Heather T.
Get them from Amazon for $44.99 (available in two tones and three sizes).
26. A game-changing pan and pot lid organizer, because you should spend less time playing pan Jenga and keep your pans scratch-free. You can stack your pots and pans horizontally or vertically, whichever maximizes storage space.
You can use it upright or on its side.
Promising review: "I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good." —Linda
Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (available in three colors).

28. A super useful caddy if you want to throw some handy-dandy storage pockets over the arm of your couch. Store your remotes, chargers, tablets, AirPods, or anything you'll need so you can be your best couch potato self.
Promising review: "I bought this for the sole purpose of keeping all our remotes in one place. (Let's face it; has a universal remote EVER worked?) So, we now have the remotes each in their own pocket and can grab the one we want right away. Nothing gets lost, the table doesn't get scratched from tossing the remote on the table, and due to the color you barely notice it's over the arm of the couch. This is well made of sturdy fabric, and long enough to tuck under the couch cushion." —Kathy
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in six sizes and several colors).
29. A wrap organizing box so you can stylishly store and easily find your plastic wrap, wax paper, and aluminum foil. It can also conveniently cut as much or as little as you need.
Parkway Home is a small business that sells items to help keep your home organized.
Promising review: "LOVE IT.... I was a little concerned that the depth of this would fit in my top drawer based on the measurements described, but it fits perfectly. It is a notch wider than necessary for standard size foil and plastic, but gives you that extra space if you wanted to go bigger I suppose. I highly recommend this!" —cmquade32
Get it from Parkway Home on Etsy for $19.49+ (originally $29.99+; available in three styles).

Promising review: "Just the right size. Easy to assemble. Fits two rolls at bottom, one in middle, and one at the top. Paper must be threaded bottom up for free flow or it will be difficult to pull through the slot. I put my wipes at very top. Small bathroom, small storage cabinet perfect fit. I wish it was white instead of light gray. Oh well, for the price it’ll do." —Sally
Get it from Amazon for $22.88+ (available in six colors and five sizes).

I was having a hard time keeping up with what we had and it was just a jumbled mess. My rack came today and it's so much more organized. It's super sturdy and it only took a couple of minutes to put together. I filled it up and I was able to fit 44 cans since some are tiny... 5 stars!" —Kimberly C.

Promising review: "Great product for a great price. Very sturdy, but lightweight and small. Under my bathroom sink is *very* small, and the metal frame is thin enough that it doesn't take up much space, and of course it allows me to utilize the empty vertical space instead of shoving things all the way to the back wall." —Jennifer Mowry
