1. A moisturizing hair treatment that'll leave you with softer, silkier, and more hydrated hair in *eight* seconds. Yes, you heard that right! Eight seconds! Amino acids and wheat protein attach to damaged strands and form a protective layer without weighing them down.
The formula is silicone and paraben free and should only be applied to the ends. It's also safe for color-treated hair and reviewers with everything from straight to 4C hair love the results!
Promising reviews: "I'm a professional hairstylist and Matrix, Redken, and L'Oréal are all owned by L'Oréal and each line has a lamellar water in it at different prices. I am here to tell you that they are all the exact same ingredients in different bottles. So buy the cheapest and save yourself some cash. Your hair will love you for it. I love this stuff." —Wenderella
"I have 4c hair and I don't use straighteners. I'm always looking for a great moisturizer and this is is the best I have used. Please note, I apply only a small amount to my wet hair. I don't rinse it out and it delivers on its promise: silkier, shinier, healthier looking hair with a totally weightless feel. Even though I don't rinse it out, it leaves no sticky residue. After applying it, I can run my fingers through my hair and they come away clean. This stuff is really Wonder Water!" —Skiddlymax

2. A handheld milk frother to trick you into thinking you're at a cafe in Paris with a baguette in one hand and a cappuccino in the other. A gal can dream, right???
Promising review: "I’m a barista at Starbucks so obviously I know how I like my coffee. For a while I was using an immersion blender to froth my milk for my morning cup of coffee but it just wasn’t doing what I wanted it to do. I finally bought this frother and I’m so so happy with it!! It doesn’t need to be plugged in so it takes up way less space. It is a lot quieter than the blender, and I can use any size cup I want because the frother is so small. Not only can I heat up my milk for a hot coffee, but I can also use it just the same with cold milk for my iced coffee!! Highly recommend this product!!" —Heather Michael
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 25 colors).
3. A firming eye cream that relies on natural ingredients like sunflower seed oil, hibiscus flower extract, and vitamin C to brighten, hydrate, and restore the under-eye area.
Promising review: "I am very happy I found this eye cream. I was using something else that I really loved but got discontinued last year and I was having trouble finding something to replace it with when I came across this one on Amazon. I've been using it now for a bit over a month, and it's been great. I love and use rosehip oil, and the fact that this eye cream contains this as one of the main ingredients is a plus for me. I am a holistic esthetician, and I will be using this one on my clients in my treatment room as well." —Julia H
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and multipacks).
4. A set of three dermaplaning razors to get rid of any face fuzzies or shape your eyebrows without a trip into the salon. To use, move the blade down in short strokes, making sure to avoid any blemishes or cuts!
Promising review: "This is the best face razor I have ever used. It took my hair off so easily. Extremely good quality. I am a licensed cosmetologist and do makeup on clients, and I feel like it makes my skin look flawless after I put my foundation on. I love these and will continue to purchase. Price is also good for the quality of the product." —Megan Markvicka
"I am a licensed esthetician who performs dermaplanning services weekly on clients using medical grade blades. I got these for myself at home since I’ve always been a fan of Tinkle razors and hate peach fuzz. The amount of dead skin that is removed with these along with the peach fuzz is up there with my medical grade dermaplanning blades. Just be careful because they are sharp. Great for a quick touchup but definitely doesn’t replace a professional treatment." —Carli
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $4.99+.
5. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover that will eliminate stains and spots on shower glass, tile, granite, stainless steel, and more. Reviewers love the smell (it's not too strong!) and how easy it is to use.
Promising review: "Absolutely zero dislikes for this product. As a professional maid, I regularly run into hard water issues in new clients’ homes. I have thrown everything and the kitchen sink at hard water stains from vinegar, baking soda, Barkeepers Friend, Soft Scrub, 0000 steel wool, green scouring pads, what have you. Nothing worked until I found this fantastic product. I have restored so many showers, whether it is removing hard water stains on glass and faucets, rust rings from shaving cream cans left in fiberglass showers, children’s toothpaste dye color from natural stone, stains from coffee drips left on formica counter tops, etc. Hands down best product I have ever used in my profession. If I could be a brand rep for Bio Clean, I would be! (NO they did not pay me for this review.)" —Kate Leask
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+.
6. An Oxo burr grinder for strong and flavorful coffee that rivals your favorite coffee shop. There are 15 different settings and the main container (called the hopper) can hold up to 12 ounces of beans.
Promising review: "This is a really nice grinder. I’m a professional coffee roaster and love brewing great coffee at home. I should have bought this OXO in the first place. It outclasses cheaper grinders in every way. There is an appreciable difference between each click on the adjustment wheel, giving you total control to dial in the grind to your brew method and personal preferences. I don’t brew espresso at home, so I can’t comment on the very fine grind settings. Something else I’ve noticed is that this machine is very well grounded, which means the grinds don’t fly around and make a huge mess. They stay nicely in the collection cup, which is super easy to clean if you’re switching between different beans. I can’t recommend this grinder enough. It’s very simple to operate, looks handsome on the counter, and produces a superb grind at a fair price. A great buy." —Hunter Dorné
Get it from Amazon for $99.95.
7. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement to help support your pup's immune system, digestive health, and skin. The hero ingredients in these soft chews are probiotics, colostrum, and fish oil.
Promising review: "I am a vet tech with an allergy dog and I recommend this to all of our clients and my friends. It truly makes a difference for itchy dogs. We also love your salmon oil!" —Emma Thompkins
Get them from Amazon for $27.95+ (also available in a larger size).
8. A set of Kegel weights for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles in a safe and easy way — all you need is 15 minutes a day!!! This exercise regimen can be especially useful if you've given birth.
Promising review: "I am a pelvic floor physical therapist, and these weights are my go-to for patients with a variety of pelvic floor conditions. They're smooth, comfortable, and very easy to use, and there's a weight for everyone. I highly recommend these to people dealing with urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and many other issues. If you're not sure how to get the most of of them, Intimate Rose is very responsive, or if you need personalized help I would recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT near you, but these weights can definitely be a very useful tool for many people with the right guidance." —Kate Amsden
Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $54.99+.
9. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner and polish to bring your fridge back to its original glory (aka finally get rid of those annoying smudges and fingerprints). In addition to leaving your appliances shiny and streak-free, it provides a protective barrier that will keep your surfaces looking brand new for longer.
Promising review: "As a metallurgical engineer, I avoided stainless-steel appliances for years because I knew we could not solve the finger marks and water staining. When we bought a new house with all stainless I had to take over their cleaning and I hated it! My years of education and experience in metals were of no help to me. Then, In frustration, I stumbled on Therapy. It works. Now I just use a dry rag daily and and re-polish every once in a while." —Twig Family
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in larger quantities).
10. A grooming rake with rotating metal teeth to prevent tangles and remove loose hair from your pet's undercoat. Reviewers say this works particularly well on breeds with thick hair and it's easy to clean the rake afterwards.
11. A box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting face masks that deliver amazing results when used regularly (consistently is key when it comes to skincare). The masks are suitable for all skin types and don't include parabens, alcohol, or fragrance.
Promising review: "This mask is amazing! Made my skin look at least five years younger and made it so soft! I am an esthetician and have wanted to try the pricey Hanacure mask forever but when I came across this same product for a fraction of the price I ordered it right away. It does have a mild smell but it isn’t unpleasant... and I’m super sensitive to smell. Application is super easy with the brush the mask comes with. It get super tight while drying and I found it easiest to remove with a wash cloth. My skin instantly looked firmer and more even in tone." —jacqueline
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $27.33+.
12. A bottle of Olaplex No. 3 to repair damaged hair and leave you with strong, shiny locks that will impress your hairdresser. You can use it one to three times per week and reviewers with everything from straight to 4c hair rave about the results.
Promising reviews: "I used to work in beauty salons and all our hairdressers were using Olaplex products to protect clients' hair from damage while coloring. I use it now for myself. Normally my hair is very dry at the ends and dull. After using this product it looks and feels much more lively." —Emmy
"Olaplex is magic in a bottle. Was skeptical about using the products on my natural 4C hair but all I can say if made my hair feel so soft and moisturized." —D. Trini
Get it from Amazon for $30.
13. A beeswax wood polisher so you can breathe new life into old furniture that's dented, dinged, or faded. Reviewers rave about the lustrous finish and how easily it applies.
Promising review: "As a professional woodworker, finisher, and restorer of 30 years, this product is supreme in every way. It will be a staple in my supplies. I only wish I could've created it." —Richard F. Gentry
"I'm a carpenter so I'm aware of good oils for wood. This has to be the best furniture polish I've ever used hands down. It's long-lasting, unlike most of those worthless watery polishes. It's not cheap, but in this case you're getting what you paid for. My sister, knowing I'm a carpenter asked what she should use, and I recommended this stuff. She went out of her way to tell me how much she loved it also. Great product." —Andybuildz
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+.
14. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray to make soap scrum and grime virtually disappear. Apply the spray once a week and let it sit overnight (the manufacturer recommends at least 8–12 hours), and then rinse with warm water. Voila!
Promising review: "Purchased this for a much used but little cleaned shower. After first use, I was amazed at the outcome. Since I don't use product but once or twice a month (because of the price), I still have to scrub occasionally. I was a professional cleaner for 20 years, and this is the best product I have found." —Lilly
Get it from Amazon for $18.61+.
15. A memory foam seat cushion that'll *magically* improve your posture and help ease back pain. The velour cover is machine washable, and it has a built-in handle, too!
Promising review: "I'm a truck driver and was experiencing lower back pain and stiffness from driving about 10 hours every day. I purchased this cushion hoping it would help. This is absolutely the best purchase that I have made in a long time. The way it is shaped keeps me from sitting on my tailbone, which was the source of my problem. I no longer have lower back pain and barely any stiffness from driving all day. I certainly recommend this product to anyone who has experience back pain and stiffness from sitting long periods of time. You won't be disappointed. I ain't!!!" —Jamesbo
Get it from Amazon for $45.95+.
16. A nail grinder to trim your pup's claws so they don't wreak havoc on your wood floors and furniture. 😫 The device has two rotation speeds that will effectively and comfortably trim nails without hurting fido.
Promising review: "As a groomer, I’ve used professional dog grooming Dremels that cost double and triple what this little guy cost and this is great! It came ready to do the job. It is easy to hold and is perfect for touch-ups after clipping the nails or just tipping them. It is nice to not have another cord hanging around and charges quick. I don’t leave the charger plugged in all of the time since that tends to kill the battery a lot faster. If I know I have a dog coming in I’ll charge it and use it that day and the charge usually lasts for a few days, (depending how often I use it). I don’t recommend using it on big dogs unless you are just touching up the nails since it doesn’t have the strength to grind down big nails like that." —T.I.M
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
17. A detangling spray for removing tangles, knots, and mats from your pup's fur and reduce brushing time. It leaves behind a light scent and there's no rinsing required. Just spray on, massage into their coat, and brush gently!
Promising review: "I have been a professional dog groomer for over 35 years and this stuff does what it says it will. Even on the most coarse coats it turns it into a thing of beauty; any mats almost fall out. This is a whole new world for me. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks? This old dog just learned one." —sandra k. steele
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+.
18. A pair of leaf scoops to help with a variety of yard and gardening tasks, from picking up leaves to spreading mulch. They're lightweight, durable, and will keep your yard looking picture perfect. 🏡😊
Promising review: "I have a lawn care company so to say I have tried everything almost seems redundant. Also, I typically do not get excited about a product because I feel it should do its job. However, these are seriously amazing. Ergonomically they're wonderful because the hand part is like a baseball glove. It uses your arm to help support the load allowing a balanced feel to what is being picked up. Another great feature is when I am trimming shrubs I can use a leaf blower to move the clippings out and rake them up. Then using these and a bag stand, will make child's play out of what would otherwise be a rough task. Picking up leaves is also great in that you can get a great amount, but you can also smash them straight down to compact them in the bag without the worry of hitting a stick and cutting your hands up. If you pass up a chance to get a pair of these just know us lawn care guys are driving by and just dying to show you how much easier that chore can be for you by using this product." —J. Bradburn
Get a pair from Amazon for $29.95+.
19. A 7-in-1 Instant Pot so you can whip up delicious meals without using every pot and pan in the kitchen (nobody has time for all of those dishes, am I right?!). The inner pot and lid are both dishwasher safe for easy cleaning after you're done.
This do-it-all kitchen appliance is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker, and warmer.
Promising review: "This is the best tool in my kitchen. I use it every day and it works so well and saves me so much effort. I have been a professional chef but use this at home with amazing results." —E. Sewell
Get it from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in three sizes and two styles).
20. A Lodge cast-iron skillet that'll heat and cook food evenly and get better each time you use it! It's pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil and can be used in the oven OR on the stove, induction cooktop, or grill.
Cast-iron skillets may seem intimidating to first-time users, so check out our explainer on how to care for a cast iron before you buy to figure out whether it's the right cookware for you.
Promising review: "As a professional chef in the industry for 20 years now, I have my own file of brands I seek out. When it comes to cast iron, Lodge is a brand I know is going to be good. When it came to the price. I couldn't click buy it fast enough. This has become my go-to pan at home any time I am working with meat. Be it a burger patty, or a large piece of meat I am searing off for braising in the slow cooker. This is a pan I know I will have for the next 20–30 years." —Mike

21. The Revlon One-Step Hot Air Brush to cut down on drying time AND give you salon quality results. Make sure to apply a heat protective to your hair before blow-drying and work through your hair in sections!!
Unlike traditional hair dryers, this hot air brush can be held closer to the roots for increased volume and lift. It also has three heat settings — including a cool setting. Reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it worked well for them and cut down on their drying time.
Promising review: "I am a professional stylist and bought this because I hate doing my own hair. My hair is fine, frizzy and down to the middle of my back. I was completely dried and styled in 15 minutes!!!! Down side it is very noisy but it works like a champ!" —Larissa Adams
Get it from Amazon for $38.98+ (available in five colors).
BTW, Revlon's got a One-Step Styler specifically for curly hair for only $39.99+. It has over 39,000 5-star reviews and has earned just as much love as the original styler! 😍
22. A box of Crest 3D whitening strips that'll transform stained teeth into pearly white gems that you'll be excited to show off. Plus, it's wayyy cheaper to use these strips instead of getting your teeth professionally whitened!
Promising review: "For background, I am a certified dental assistant. I have tried professional whitening systems in the past, but I wasn't happy with it due to the sensitivity it was causing. I used these Crest strips twice a day for about 10 days, but stopped because I was happy with the shade at that point. I COULD have gone whiter, but I prefer a more natural look. I wish I had taken before/after pics! These strips cause a tiny bit of sensitivity, but nothing a little Sensodyne won't fix. Super easy to use too. One tip I'd recommend is drying your teeth off with a paper towel before placement, just so they adhere better. Also, keep in mind that you may need to spit periodically while having the white strips in, so keep a paper towel or something nearby. Otherwise, just follow the instructions and they work awesome! Seriously worth the money in comparison to an $80 kit from your dentist." —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $45.99.
23. A cold brew coffee maker to save you time and money in the morning. The smaller size (1 quart) produces four servings of cold brew, which should last you at least one to two days.
To use it, add coffee grounds to the airtight brewer, add your water to the coffee maker, and pop it in the fridge overnight. Easy peasy!
Promising review: "I was a barista for more than eight years and I'm a big-time coffee snob. This system is easier than any I've ever used to make cold brew! And most importantly, the quality of the coffee extraction is excellent. The coffee is smooth and strong. I wish I had gotten the bigger size, because the smaller size only yields about three glasses of iced coffee, but I highly recommend it! If you are using the right bean and grind it coarsely like they recommend, it will be just as good, if not better, than your local cafes. Enjoy!" —Eric S.
