1. A truly genius ice tray that does it all — makes and stores cubes, dispenses ice without you having to touch the 🥶 or reach for a scoop, AND can even be packed up and used as an ice pack in your cooler! Beyond clever.
Just fill the bottle-shaped ice maker with water, stick it in the freezer, pop the sides once the water is frozen, and pour the cubes into your glass.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no ice maker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer or on the way to the freezer, and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!). Then seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's OK with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp

2. Fenty Skin's Plush Puddin' vitamin E lip mask, because like so many things (halftime shows, upgrading maternity fashion, making it cool to go to the same Italian restaurant over and over, etc.), our dry winter lips are apparently something we should have let Rihanna handle all along. This creamy, firming formula is also a great choice for folks who've been wanting to pamper themselves with an overnight lip mask but want a cruelty-free and vegan alternative to cult-fave Laneige.
This is my new fave part of my routine — I legit look forward to smearing it on at night. I have the original version, which is a mild vanilla scent that goes on shiny and clear, and it's perfect for me as a low-maintenance beauty girlie who doesn't like strong scents. There's also a new melon version with a bit of shimmer, though, if that's more your taste! This feels so luxurious on your lips and I don't find myself desperately in need of ChapStick as often during the day. I also recently had a cut on my lip from a piece of dead skin that peeled off, and I used this to soothe it in place of Vaseline and it worked great. Plus, I love the packaging — not only is it sleek and aesthetically pleasing, but it keeps everything neat. You just twist the bottom up a bit to dispense, and then you can either use your finger to apply or glide it on right from the tube.
Promising review: "This lip mask is really thick. So you don’t need a lot. The best part about it is that a little goes a long way. As soon as I spread it on my lips, I felt instant moisture. By far one of the best Fenty products." —Tujabes
Get it from Sephora for $23 (available in two scents).
3. The Reverse Coloring Book that's such a clever concept — you draw the LINES around colorful watercolors instead of filling them in.
Get some top-rated black fine-point pens to use with it here.
It's got 50 pages to fill in plus ideas to get you started *and* the pages are perforated so you can easily tear your masterpieces out of the book and frame them or give them to friends!
Promising review: "Changed my life. So I get anxious doing the adult coloring books. This was so much fun and made me really think outside of the box. I'm not the best at drawing but I felt like I was when I was a kid doodling in my textbooks in school." —Carley C.
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
4. A super lightweight retractable folding stool because yes, please, I would like to be able to take a seat absolutely anywhere instead of just popping a squat at outdoor events, in long lines, etc.
Promising review: "As an engineer, I am a sucker for smart designs. And this is so ingenious, I was blown away. At 2.4 lbs, it's probably the lightest way of getting a portable seat. And it opens up literally in two seconds. No extending metal legs or having to press on metal clips to collapse them, as with regular travel stools. And it feels pretty sturdy, not wobbly at all when I sat on it. The 10" seat is just the right size for being comfortable. And it collapses in a 10" x 2.5" cylinder (also literally in two seconds) that fits in the outside pocket of my carry-on. You do need both hands, but that's true of any folding chair. Perfect for my wife who cannot stand for long in security or immigration lines. And you need hardly any space to set it up (unlike folding chair/stools). So perfect to open up when standing in busy lines." —Serge
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three colors).
5. A beyond cool and hilarious oversized T-shirt dress inspired by a certain blonde's Eras Tour costumes. No matter which era you're in, there's a comfy option for you to wear to bed for dreams of perfect surprise songs (still can't believe I missed the "Story Of Us" x "Long Story Short" mashup, a personal attack...) or with bike shorts for a day of working from home interspersed with dance numbers performed for your cat.
And yes, they're printed on both the front and the back!
That's my BF's sister on the right — she wore the Rep version to teach a themed spin class and it looked amazing, as you can see!
This LA-based small business must live inside my brain, because they make the most OMG-worthy tee dresses, sweatshirts, and aprons designed to look like all my favorite pop culture girlies' attire — I'm talking Taylor, rom-com heroines, Barbie, Hermione, and even American Girl dolls!
Promising review: "I was a little nervous about spending $40 on a night shirt, but these are SO nice. They're soft and SUCH high quality! Absolutely no regrets." —Katie Keane
Get the Lover bodysuit version or the Reputation catsuit version from Dress Up Collection on Etsy for $40 (available in women's sizes XS–6X and in more styles here).
6. Truly gorgeous (but affordable) textured glass mugs that even come with two equally stunning gold spoons. Hello to making everything you drink Insta-worthy — like, I have a colonoscopy coming up and I think that if I put the disgusting prep drink in one of these, it would still be a vibe?
Promising review: "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs, these are perfect for me. Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" —Margarita Harutoonian
Get a set of two mugs and two spoons from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in seven styles).
7. A Wad-Free tool for blankets and duvet covers from the Shark Tank- and BuzzFeed-reader-beloved maker of the one for bed sheets. Washing bedding is such a chore, but this handy thing will help ensure your big blankets actually dry instead of just getting tangled. Another genius application? You can also load up paired socks in here so none get lost in the wash! 🤯
It's reusable and made by a small business that launched during the pandemic.
Promising review: "I recently decided to switch to using a duvet cover/insert setup, figuring washing a duvet cover would be easier on my washer than a heavy quilt. I love my cats but dang do they cover our bed in fur. I purchased a duvet cover and washed it before its first use and it was SUCH a knotted mess. I hadn't dealt with anything like that before. It probably took a solid 15 frustrating minutes to detangle. Thankfully I came across this! It helps get the duvet cover cleaner than it would be if it were to end up knotted on itself, allows it to dry evenly and quickly, and saves so much time and frustration from wrestling out the knots. I haven't tried it with any quilts yet; one is heavier and flannel and I have some doubts about how it will handle that but maybe it will surprise me! Sheets were never much of an issue for me but after how well this worked on the duvet cover, I went ahead and got them for the sheets too." —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
8. A dazzling stacked ring set not a single soul will believe you got for 20 bucks on Amazon. Nope, it's definitely giving luxe jewelry line vibes. Plus, you also have the option to break up the set and wear the dainty piece and the larger stone separately!
Promising review: "First let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now and in the beginning I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks I just decided to leave it on and it has been fine. I never take it off, the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price and I am very pleased." —tracy k revels
Get a set of two from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four colors).
9. Or a heart crystal ring with a textured black gold-dipped band that's the combination of romantic and edgy that dreams are made of.
My dreams, at least. This is my new favorite ring! I kept seeing ads for it on Insta and it was sold out for so long, but I eagerly added my name to the waitlist. I was SO excited when it was restocked and it was seriously worth the wait! The bead-effect texture of the band is comfy and fun to run your fingers over, and it adds even more interest to the already gorgeous contrast of the black and lavender. This beauty is now part of my everyday ring stack and I fall in love all over again every time I peep it on my index finger.
I also have this clover ring, this stone ring, and this rose ring from Oomiay's swoon-worthy black gold line. And psst...if you become as obsessed with the brand as I do, they're pretty much always offering great deals, including some that'll let you buy one piece and get another free!
Get it from Oomiay for $54 (available in sizes 4–11).
10. A set of paint touch-up pens because 🎶 nobody's perfect 🎶, including you and your DIY paint job. Load this up to polish up your handiwork, and then seal it with the cap to help keep the paint fresh for touch-ups when the walls inevitably get scuffed in the future.
They're made by a small business, and reviewers also use these for detail work on painted designs and murals!
Promising review: "These are genius! They work so well and make it no hassle to quickly retouch small areas that get scratched up. Never knew something like this existed, and now am in love with them!" —Jeff
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a five-pack).
11. An OMG-worthy Squidward tapestry that's sooo convincing — visitors will legit think everyone's favorite polo-shirt-wearing octopus is about to begrudgingly relay you an order for a Krabby Patty with cheese.
12. Loop Quiet earplugs, aka a super comfy, reusable, more attractive, and quite possibly more effective alternative to the disposable earplugs you keep buying at the drugstore to deal with your snoring partner and the construction next door.
They come with four sizes of tips so you can get your perfect fit, and the brand also makes other versions designed to not be totally sound-blocking, but good for loud concerts or noise-sensitive folks, and even a version that lets you switch between levels of sound!
These have become must-haves for me. What initially drew me in was the cute shade of lavender and the promise of a better solution for sleeping with a snoring BF. I was using Mack's earplugs for a while, but tbh they weren't really cutting it and the putty was always getting stuck in my hair 😝. These sleek silicone babies are amazing and will make you wonder, like I did, why we ever wasted time, money, and resources on disposable earplugs. I feel like I've been sleeping better since using them, and sometimes I can't even hear when my BF gets up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. If he's in full-on freight train mode, yes, I can still hear snoring. But for lighter snoring these block enough to allow me to get some dang sleep! They're also way comfier than other earplugs I've tried, and the design with the loop perpendicular to the plug makes them easy to put in and take out and stops you from pushing 'em too far into your ear. They even come with a handy little carrying case, which is perfect, because I won't go on any trips with my BF without these from now on!
Promising review: "Fab customer service when one pair didn't fit — can't believe the team allowed a full refund even for the pair I was keeping. The Loops stick in my ears with such incredible suction it drowns out the noisy road in front of my apartment with ease. Super comfortable to sleep in, even though I'm a heavy side sleeper — no issues with the plugs and pressure in the ear — they fit so well!" —Santino T.
Get them from Loop for $24.95 (available in seven colors) or Amazon for $25.95 (available in 10 colors).
13. An swoon-worthy pastel swan trinket dish so you can put your fave baubles on a pretty pedestal where they belong. ~Honk~ if you're excited to have a place to put your go-to rings where you won't knock them on the floor every day!
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $18.
14. A heart-shaped cat tree complete with scratching posts that's sure to give you and your feline matching heart eyes. 😍😻 There's also an equally cute fruit version!
Promising review: "This is the cutest cat climber I have ever seen (or bought). It looks exactly like the ad and it was fast and simple to assemble. It's affordable, adorable. My 8.5-pound cat loves it already. No wobbling, tipping — it's totally level, sturdy, and solidly built. It's high quality and soft. I can easily use a pet roller to get fur off (or lint roller) and in the future I can spot clean it if necessary. No problems with it whatsoever. I highly recommend it (and so does my cat)." —HBJC
Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in two styles).
15. A heartwarming tapestry throw featuring smiley Pixar characters that's a pure delight but also has a classic look, so it'll probably be in your Disney-loving family for years to come.
16. A panda monitor sticker, aka helpful dude who's just popping by to brighten your workday and ensure you stay on top of your tasks. Be prepared for compliments on your bamboo-tiful new workspace.
17. Braided mule sandals available with 2- or 3-inch heels, so you can get the perfect height for your new go-to spring and summer shoe. These are super comfy and look way more expensive than they are!
I just got these in the 2-inch heel, kelly green version, and while I haven't worn them outside yet, they were SO comfy when I tried them on. I can't wait to rock them with all my sundresses this spring and summer!
Promising review: "Reaching for these sandals more and more because they’re comfy, cute, and elevate my outfits! They didn’t require any breaking in and I’ve worn them for an entire day out and had no issues with long term wear. Fit was true to size. Going to get another color since I love them so much!" —Nidhi Patel
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and in 18 styles).
18. A magnetic ironing pad, because let's be honest — ironing boards are a pain in the tuchus and you don't have room for one anyway. This way, you can just do your ironing right on top of your washer or dryer!
Promising review: "If you're like me and living in a space that doesn't have a ton of room let alone space for a big old ironing board, this is the perfect solution. This mat easily sticks with the magnets to the top of the dryer. It's a great space-saving solution. If you're looking to minimize, this is what you want!" —JD
Get it from Amazon for $13.87+ (available in two sizes).
19. A ~super~ 44-piece Mjölnir toolbox so when you need a regular hammer, you can reach for Thor's hammer first. I love the wonderfully extra and badass energy of wielding this whenever you need to fix a simple leak — wayyyy more fun than a regular toolbox, and it may actually make you look forward to doing home repairs.
Promising reviews: "We bought this for my husband for Father's Day and it was a huge hit. We are a Marvel-loving household so it fit right in. My husband is a contractor so he has all the tools but it is perfect to have in the house when I ask him to hang a shelf, a picture, or whatever. It has lots of handy tools inside, my husband was impressed with the quality of each tool and the variety. Plus he feels cool holding Thor's hammer, haha." —Monica Aldrich
"My husband is extremely difficult to buy for. I end up trying to buy him functional funny stuff. This was actually well made and he thought it was pretty clever. He drags it out when someone needs help. Gets a good giggle." —Tatorie79
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in two styles).
20. A delightfully wholesome mama and baby kangaroo crochet kit that'll empower even the least crafty of folks (🙋♀️) to make these plush pals. You may wanna take the ~hop~portunity to grab and make two so you can have one for yourself and give another as a gift.
This Asian-owned small business specializes in squee-worthy amigurumi (the Japanese art of making small stuffed animals from yarn) kits and provides tutorials for every step of the process on their site, so even total novices won't feel lost. The kit comes with yarn, stuffing, plastic eyes, an already-started piece of crochet material, a stitch marker, a needle, a PDF pattern download, a carrying bag, and a crochet hook. You can even access extra support over email any time! This kit is rated intermediate, so if you've never crocheted before, you might want to try one of their even easier animals first (though the instructions are so good, you could probably handle it anyway!).
After writing about this awesome biz many times, I was finally influenced to try them for myself — which is a huge vote of confidence for anyone who knows me, considering I am very lazy, not particularly artistically inclined, and my "hobbies" primarily rhyme with Schmetflix. However, I have now made four Woobles and purchased several more! The videos are suuuuper detailed so like they promise, anyone can learn to crochet with them. Once you get the hang of it, it's so soothing and hard to stop, and it becomes — get this — a great thing to do with your hands while watching said Schmetflix! And of course, the finished products are so, so cute and great to keep for yourself or give as gifts. I haven't tried this particular kit yet but am def tempted by this ridiculously cute duo!!!!
Get it from The Woobles for $45.
21. A set of two MicrowavaBowls, aka bowls *specifically* designed to solve the problem of food not heating evenly, because the only thing you don't like about leftovers are those dang cold spots.
Check out a TikTok of the MicrowavaBowl in action.
Promising review: "These bowls are high quality and very convenient. They heat up food very quickly and evenly, saving you valuable time and energy. Its ability to heat the food and not the bowl itself is very valuable to me. Prior to this purchase, I would have to use a hot bowl holder to avoid burning my fingers. The size of the bowls are perfect for the dishwasher, making them easy to clean and use. I would highly recommend them to friends and family!" —Alana
Get a set of two from Amazon for $27.99.
22. And to further solve your microwave struggles, a magnetic cover you can store right in the machine and pop down onto your dish to guard your fave appliance from the dreaded pasta sauce and butter splatter that then becomes sooo tedious to scrub off. If (and when!) this guard gets messy, you can just toss it on the top rack of the dishwasher!
Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action. Of course, just make sure your microwave is actually magnetic before ordering, and when you install this, make sure it's not blocking the cooling vents.
Promising review: "If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (also available in a two-pack).
23. A wonderfully detailed Loungefly Winnie The Pooh-embossed purse that looks like a sleek bag from a trendy brand like Steve Madden from afar, but up close is a tribute to everyone's favorite silly old bear. ~Honey~, you need this.
Promising reviews: "This bag is the perfect balance between being an adult bag and still having my favorite little guy on it. I love the size, it's big without being humongous." —Shaniya
"Love this purse. It’s super spacious. It is pretty big but I love it. I’m a mom so I’m able to carry a lot of my belongings and my baby’s." —Mayareny
Get it from BoxLunch for $79.90.
24. A 1,000-piece pooping dogs puzzle featuring all kinds of different breeds (and even a fox) doing their business that's sure to be a family fave. Shoutout to my grandpa who once famously slammed on the brakes of his car and yelled to my aunt and uncle, "Look kids! That dog's taking a crap!"
Promising review: "Really good quality and soooo funny. This puzzle is great! Honestly because it’s sort of a funny prank gift, I thought it wasn’t going to be good quality. But it’s actually REALLY nice! The pieces are thick and good quality and a huge variety of shapes that fit together really well. We are big puzzle fans and this one turned out to be one of our favorites — it’s funny, fun to do, and a really nice, solid puzzle! I will totally buy this again for a gift!" —A. Kay
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in a 100-piece version).
25. Megababe's Après Shave roll-on, aka the only thing that has stopped me from getting razor burn on my bikini line and that might just work the same wonders on other areas that typically give you trouble post-shave. A couple of quick swipes when you get out of the shower could save you soooo much physical and emotional irritation for the rest of your day.
Megababe is an awesome brand founded by style influencer Katie Sturino to tackle real-life body care struggles like boob sweat and B.O. *without* nasty ingredients and *with* super cute packaging.
This stuff is my new holy grail. I'm super prone to razor bumps and ingrown hairs on my bikini line, and I used to use "ingrown-eliminating" wipes that honestly didn't work super well. I'd pretty much decided I would endure the pain of one wax or sugar session per summer, or try using at-home wax strips, to live my smoothest skin life. But no more!!! I've been using this for a couple of months and recently realized, wait...I legit have not had razor burn since I started using this right after shaving/getting out of the shower. It's magic! I have had maybe two stubborn ingrowns but they weren't super swollen or painful. Megababe works wonders yet again (I also swear by their deodorant)!
Promising review: "As someone who gets a lot of razor bumps from shaving, this product is a miracle! You can use it after you shave, but I’ve found the best results from using it consistently every day or so. The only problem is that when you stop using it, the razor bumps come back. But with consistency, they are completely gone!" —Marina
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
26. Absolutely incredible faux patent pastel combat boots from Pusheen's collab with fan-fave vegan footwear brand Koi that I need on my feet, like, yesterday. I donut doubt these will make people stop, stare, and smile.
Get them from Koi for $149 (available in sizes 5–10).
27. A fence bubble if your pup is nosey and always has to know what's going on with his BFF next door or in the outside world. Plus it'll kinda make him look like a cute fuzzy astronaut, so bonus.
Promising review: "My dogs love their window! They are 20+ pounds each and can both get their heads into the window to see what is going on in the front yard. It only took my husband and I a few minutes to install. The acrylic dome is thick and is easy to wipe clean. It’s also made in the USA!" —Shopping Addict
Get it from Amazon for $22.55.
28. Cutie patootie wooden bunny toast tongs ~ear~ to ensure your fingertips stay safe while impatiently reaching for your freshly-toasted everything bagel.
Promising review: "I figured it was more of a novelty than anything and doubted that I would use it much, but decided to try it out anyway. Turns out that I actually use it quite often! It allows me to grab my bread/bagel/muffin from the toaster without either burning my fingers or having to wait until it's cooled (and therefore less likely to melt the butter or cream cheese I attempt to spread onto it). Also, since the bunny is quite adorable and stands upright, I can set it on my counter beside my toaster, so it doesn't take up more space in my (very full) utensil drawer." —Sarah D. C. F.
Get them from Amazon for $13.50.
29. Plus, because everything is better bunny-shaped, some adorbs deodorizers ready to hop right into your stinky shoes, or even gym bags, lockers, or cupboards that are starting to reek. Each bunny holds a bag of activated charcoal that can absorb odors for up to six months.
30. A 3D-printed wall mirror, which is probably making all you Pokémon fans scream "NEED" — and to be honest...ditto.
Trust me, you've gotta check out all the cool mirrors from this Portland, Oregon-based creator.
Promising review: "Super cute. Super happy with it. Just as pictured. 💕" —Kristopher
Get it from Transinthesis on Etsy for $45.
31. A set of French fry bag clips complete with a whimsical matching magnetic carton so you'll always have a way to seal up your snacks close at hand (without constantly losing the clips because they're scattered around in your drawers). And if you're using British lingo, these are literal ~chip~ clips!
Promising review: "These are very cute and I love the magnet holder to stick on my fridge so they are easily accessible. Not sure about the durability, haven't used very long." —Save the Bees
Get a set of 12 clips from Amazon for $14.90.
