1. Clever boot inserts to hold your precious footwear upright instead of getting bent, creased, and collapsing in a heap on your closet floor.
2. A draft stopper that'll close up the space under your door to keep out the chilly breeze this time of year. Reviewers ❤️ it for a multitude of other uses, too — blocking warm air in the summer, reducing noise, keeping bugs out, or even keeping pets from sticking paws or knocking toys under doors and appliances.
3. Downright genius LED light-blocking stickers to take the annoying lights on all your household gadgets from wayyyyy too bright to *just right*. These are for anyone who's ever stared with loathing at their clock in the middle of the night, wishing they could somehow reprogram it to be less bright and obnoxious.
Promising review: "Works as advertised. Didn't realize how badly I needed these in my life! I have a media PC in my living room under my TV and directly across from the main couch. The LED is extremely bright and obnoxious, especially in low-light situations. One of these dimmed the LED the perfect amount and I can definitely still see that the PC is on, but without the annoying blue beacon that can be seen from space. The variety of options included guarantee that you should have the correct size to dim whatever LEDs you have. Highly recommend." —IPman501

4. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet for anyone who's completely lost patience with shouting, "HEY, ARE THESE DISHES CLEAN OR DIRTY?" across the house every day.
5. An easy wood-repairing marker and wax stick set so you can fill in and cover those scratches you've been meaning to do something about for ages in mere *minutes*.
6. A honeycomb-textured cat litter mat that'll catch all the loose litter that Puss in Boots loves to track all over your otherwise clean home. It's a ridiculously simple solution to what I'm sure has been lifelong ~pet~ peeve for many a cat owner.
Promising review: "Finally, no more kitty litter on the floor. Well, hardly any. I'd say it keeps 99% of the litter off the floor, which is a huge improvement! And for those who asked about or mentioned that cats didn't like stepping on the mat, here's proof that my cat loves it. He lays on it, sleeps on it, grooms himself on it, and launches attacks against his brother from it. No problem there. I recommend this litter box mat to anyone who, like me, hates stepping (usually barefoot) on the hard pieces of litter and constantly cleaning it up." —TX Reader - Reviewer
Get it from Amazon for $14.49.
7. A natural scour paste you can use to banish gunk and grime on all sorts of surfaces. It's what messes' nightmares are made of — it's coming for them!!!!!
8. A super-helpful adjustable hanging closet rod for anyone who barely has room for their whole stylish wardrobe in their tiny closet. Why spend time organizing when you can just pop this baby on and instantly have twice as much space?
9. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes capable of turning the fate of your wilty plant bb around in a matter of days. Just stick these guys into your plant pot every few weeks, and you might actually be able to keep Stemma Thompson alive.
10. A bath toy organizer you can stick on the wall with suction cups, so your kiddo's bath time fun isn't as miserable of a cleanup for you. The mesh material will let them easily drain, and it'd work great for adults' bath product storage, too.
11. Game-changing ceiling fan pulls, because apparently I'm not the only one who cannot for the life of me remember which cord controls the light and which controls the fan. Honestly, why don't they make all ceiling fans with these?!?
Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek...now you're in the dark). They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor (when you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?). As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD
Get them from Amazon for $6.59+ (available in two lengths and three colors).
12. A Command adhesive towel bar that's such a clever solution for anyone who rents — you can finally add some extra storage to your bathroom or kitchen without losing your deposit (or spending more than $15)!
It holds up to three pounds and works on most types of surfaces.
Promising review: "I rent my house and needed a solution without putting new holes in the wall. This looks and feels like a 'real' towel bar! I’m so glad I was able to find such a great solution for a rental property." —caraashley
Get it from Amazon for $10.13.
13. Reusable beeswax and organic cotton cling wrap in cute prints that'll do an un-bee-lievably great job covering all your containers while also reducing plastic waste — making it a truly ~buzz~worthy kitchen solution.
14. An actually kind of FUN (?!) magnetic stud finder for anyone who struggles to find the perfect spot to hang things on their walls. The cute little indicator knob will click and pop up once it's over a stud. Now, if only finding studs on dating apps was this easy — amirite, folks???
15. The perfect tomato-slicing knife, which hundreds of reviewers are legit obsessed with, because notoriously difficult-to-slice fruits are no match for this wonder.
16. Adjustable bedsheet fasteners to actually keep your fitted sheet in place and looking smooth ONCE 👏 AND 👏 FOR 👏 ALL. Really.
17. A miraculous automatic bleach toilet-cleaning system for anyone who's ever wished their toilet would just clean itself. Once installed, it sends cleaner into the bowl every time you flush!
18. An unbelievably genius sock organizer made to fight back against the phenomenon that's plagued humankind since the invention of the washing machine — disappearing hosiery. You can throw this thing right in the laundry (!!!) so you'll never loose half of a pair of socks in the abyss again, or even have to spend time matching them up when you unload the dryer!
19. DampRid moisture absorber, which comes in handy little tubs and is perfect for anyone who always assumed that icky, humid smell was just something they were going to have to live with in their home. Nope, you plus this trusty product are the superhero duo your sticky bathrooms and musty closets have been waiting for.
20. A rolling storage cart that can slide into small spaces in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or pretty much anywhere you're desperate for a little extra space. You can also set it up without the wheels or with two instead of three shelves to solve all sorts of storage struggles.
21. A sponge holder that doubles as a dish soap pump — just press down to immediately get the perfect amount of soap ready to use on your sponge, without making a sticky, sudsy mess of your sink area. Anything that makes doing the dishes a teeny bit less obnoxious is a major win, amirite?
22. Trusty adhesive cable clips so a tangled mess of cords won't get in your way when you're working on a project at your desk and it's coming (*extremely Haim voice*) down to the wire. They work well for keeping cords on nightstands and in entertainment centers under control, too.
23. An unscented stain remover stick for an all-natural and vegan option that'll work stain-removing miracles even your go-to name-brand products can't.
24. A sleek cutlery drawer organizer that'll help you maximize precious drawer space and minimize the obnoxious sound of your silverware storage sliding around. Yes, it is possible for your cutlery drawer to not be an absolute nightmare.
25. Waterproof screen repair tape so you can patch up holes in a door or window screen (yes, I'm talking about the one you were sure you were gonna have to replace) in seconds.
26. An efficient blind cleaner brush that recognizes how tough it is to reach those crevices — it really does. But letting all that dust sit there would just be (window)sill-y.
27. A wall-mountable mixer attachment organizer, because your fave stand mixer attachments are sooo helpful, but also so bulky that they pose a very unique storage struggle.
28. A sheet of oh so clever window film that puts the fun in "functional." Not only will it give you the privacy you need without sacrificing natural light (hello, walking around in your undies in the middle of the day), but it'll also project a cool prism effect when the sun hits it just right.
Promising review: "Life changing. I LOVE THIS STUFF. We live on a cul-de-sac in a rental house with no overhead lighting. Our master bedroom window faces our front lawn. In the past, we have basically always had the blinds drawn, because we are so physically close to our neighbors and we don't want anyone seeing in. Since we have no overhead lighting, this meant that our bedroom was always dark/poorly lit. We installed this, and now we enjoy being in our room. It's brighter, it's gorgeous, it's fun, and it was so inexpensive. No one wants to put a bunch of money into a rental! If you're on the fence, get it." —Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in eight sizes).
29. A remarkably clever and reliable spray bottle hanger to save tons of space in cabinets, laundry rooms, bathrooms, or anywhere you store cleaning products. You just stick 'em to the wall like you would a regular Command strip — which means they can adhere super strongly to multiple surfaces without leaving damage or requiring you to break out a hammer and nails.
30. A 4-in-1 hole repair product that is a squeeze bottle of spackle with a built-in primer, plus has a built-in putty knife on the top and a sanding pad on the cap. It'll allow even the least handy people ever (me) to quickly and easily fix damage up well enough to get their security deposit back without even breaking a sweat.
31. A genius soap-saving dish so your bars will last way longer and you won't ever have to touch that icky, half-dissolved soap gunk ever again. *Shudders*
32. A BPA-free drain protector featuring a whimsical animal friend here to collect all the chunks of stuff you really don't want going down your drain (and really don't want to clean up by hand, either).
Promising review: "This is a cute piece that works perfectly in my sink, and dare I say it adds a bit of happy to the chore of washing dishes. I hand wash most of the time, and this keeps small items like silverware from falling in the disposal while they wait for a rinse. It's mostly plastic, but good quality and easy to clean." —Kim Ballard
Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in six designs).
33. A universal jar opener that takes up — get this — ZERO drawer space. Because you don't have as big a kitchen as the Krusty Krab, but you do sometimes feel like Patrick struggling to open a jar.
It comes with peel-and-stick adhesive and three screws to easily install it!
Promising review: "We have had this in use for six months; works like a charm on every top we have tried. IMO the best opener aid I have ever seen. My only downside would be we have to look under the cabinet to verify we align the top correctly. BUT that is also an upside — it is always where it needs to be and it is firmly held in place for ease of use. IMO you can't go wrong buying this item. So simple yet elegant in design." —Ronnie
Get it from Amazon for $14.86.
34. A four-pocket over-the-door organizer perfect for storing all that clutter that doesn't seem to have anywhere else to go. Also, the pockets are deep enough that you can totally toss things in willy-nilly and no one will be the wiser 😉.
35. A handy-dandy measurement conversion magnet, because keeping these basics conveniently in sight in the kitchen is muchhhh better than having to google them every five minutes.
This Denver-based shop also sells magnetic charts for other useful adulting info, like laundry direction symbols!
Promising review: "Lovely hand written note came with the magnet. Magnet is exactly as described and a handy addition to my kitchen!" —Carla
Get it from MagnetRabbit on Etsy for $5.99+ (available in seven colors).
36. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste you can use to scrub anything from cookware to cooktops and bathroom fixtures to rubber shoes shiny clean and free of stains. Just ~pink~ of all the icky things in your home you can finally clean with this stuff!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.
Get it from Amazon for $8.80.
37. Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner, a beeswax and orange oil formula that's basically like a spa treatment for your wood surfaces. In addition to polishing, it adds a protective layer and helps prevent the wood from drying out or fading, so it's time to cue a rom-com makeover montage for your cabinet doors.
Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this polish!
Promising review: "I read about this in a BuzzFeed article, read the reviews, and looked at the images posted by reviewers. I figured why not. Our house is about 20 years old and things are starting to just look worn. Add kids and a dog to the house and you have plenty of scratched up or water-stained wood. This is magic in a bottle! The wood was trashed, but now it looks brand-new." —ByteMe
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
38. A simple yet effective "Please put me down" toilet seat sticker, because I'm sure you can think of a *certain person* (or perhaps several) in your household who could use the reminder. If this even helped them remember half the time, it would be worth the 5 bucks.
Declaring victory over all your household problems:
