1. AirPods-compatible hooks for anyone who hasn't wanted to admit that their beloved, trendy, high-tech earbuds don't actually stay in their ears very well. Even if they do, you could definitely use a little extra protection against losing such splurge-y items, especially when exercising or on the go.
Promising review: "The hooks are comfortable and solve the problem of the earbuds falling out over and over again. An unexpected benefit is that the Pods can sit gently on the ear; no need to shove them inside to secure them. I can barely feel the Pods or the hooks. Glad I found these…they solve all problems. And I can wear my glasses while wearing them. Great price, too." —TutorMaven
Get them from Amazon for $10.25+ (available in four colors).
2. An impressive peanut butter knife specially designed to get EVERY LAST DROP of goodness out of the jar, without getting your hands all sticky. It'll save you money, mess, and meal-prep time.
Promising review: "It will save your life! Give you wings! Make you taller! More handsome! It will reverse male-pattern baldness!! It will teach your dog to behave! Has been known to bring feuding families back to an amicable place of respect and love! Your glass will always be half full! You will suddenly find yourself only grabbing on-sale items grocery shopping (by accident even!). Just having one PB-Jife in the household has been noted as a confirmed good luck charm and beacon for positivity and fortune to befall you!* Two days on Amazon Prime later, and here I am full of life, typing this with my CLEAN HANDS AND KNUCKLES! After just scraping the bottom of a big ol'peanut butter jar out in two seconds effortlessly. It might look big and awkward (it's a monster of a one-use tool), but seriously if you have an intense dislike for getting PB on your fingertips dealing with jars — this is the solution you've been looking for. Long live PB-Jife.
*Will not do anything in that first paragraph. I'm sorry." —CW
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
3. Handy dandy faucet extenders so your little one can actually reach the sink to wash their (often v nasty) hands. They'll feel more grown-up and you'll feel like there's one less hurdle to teaching them independence in the bathroom.
Promising review: "Before I knew a thing like this existed, I spent the time it took to wash my squirming kiddo's hands one at a time wondering how long it was going to take for his arms to grow enough to reach the faucet. I'm so glad I have this thing now! The setup is just taking it out of the box and stretching the rubber part around the faucet; took two seconds plus some time to adjust to the best angle. Now I can wash my 15-month-old's hands at the same time and the whole process is much faster and easier. He liked it right away too! A bit too much honestly. The worst part about this product is my toddler grabbing it and trying to use it as a water launcher, but that has been easy enough to avoid. The little rubber part pivots a bit so there is flexibility in how you wrap it around your faucet and what angle the water comes out of the chute, but it doesn't pivot THAT much, so as other reviews have mentioned it won't work with upward-angled faucets." —Michelle G.

4. The perfect everyday bra you've always dreamt of, which combines comfort (so much stretch!), cuteness (non-itchy lace trim and lots of fun colors!), and practicality (smooth under T-shirts!). Yes, this unicorn truly exists.
Ever since Aerie discontinued my faves (boooo), this Natori style has become my new go-to bra, discovered at my mom's recommendation! I'm pretty small-chested (A/B cup), but these babies have earned rave reviews across the spectrum of cup sizes! They're absolutely cute enough to look forward to showing them off on date night, without worrying about the bulges in clothing or tedious hand washing that come with fancy lingerie. I recently picked up a couple more colors and I will continue to buy this perfect style!
Promising review: "I’ve been searching for years for a supportive but comfortable bra that doesn’t ride up, pinch, or scratch and actually provides support. I was also hoping for a bra that despite its designer price tag, doesn’t curl or fall apart. This is it. This bra feels soft, invisible, and supportive. It looks perfect and doesn’t cause any bulges front or back. Other bras I have tried have included Mystere, Warner’s, and other styles of Natori. No comparison — this is a great bra. I’m clearing my drawer and buying four more." —sandra freas
Get it from Amazon for $55.97+ (available in sizes 30A–38G and in 38 colors and prints).
And FYI, we have a full roundup of bras to replace the one you wear every day.
5. Clever car headrest hooks sturdy enough to hold up to 44 pounds and ideal for keeping bags from spilling or masks and purses from getting all gross on your car floor. It's time to ride in style.
Promising review: "Where have these things been all my life??? These are one of those thing you don’t know you need, until you see them. Very sturdy, not cheap at all. Honestly, I drunk ordered these and I’m super glad I did. I will use them to hook grocery bags on the way back from the grocery store so they don’t fall over. For now, they work great for my umbrella." —Adam S.
Get a set of four from Amazon for $10.97.
6. Super cool clear acrylic plant shelves designed to be mounted on your window to ensure your plant bbs get plenty of sun and remain the focal point of the room, like they deserve.
It's from a Pickens, South Carolina-based small business.
Promising review: "Just what I was looking for!! This plant shelf is perfect for my window and my little succulents. I like that the shelves are clear and my plants look like they are floating. It’s very sturdy and the shelves are adjustable. It was easy to install; the directions were supper easy to follow. Everything was packaged nicely too. Jim is great! I had A LOT of questions and he answered every single one promptly. Excellent customer service!!" —Brandy Hoyt
Get it from Indoor Window Gardens on Etsy for $74+ (available with 2–4 shelves and in five mounting options).
7. A multifunctional, adjustable, and collapsible kitchen stand you can use to hold bags open for easier storage and clean-up *or* as a versatile drying rack for tricky things like bottles, graters, or cookie sheets.
Promising review: "Beyond 5 stars. I can't find anything I don't like about this piece of ingenuity. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Holds pretty much anything; poles are super tall for large cups and pans and blender containers. It holds Ziploc bags to dry and a gallon Ziploc bag as a container. Holds my reusable beeswax wraps. Folds away out of sight." —Firecracker
Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in two colors).

8. Amazing Rocketbook index cards, which, like the brand's famous smart notebooks, can be scanned into the Rocketbook app for safekeeping, then wiped clean with water and reused endlessly. The app even lets you display them in a slideshow like regular flashcards and allows you to search your notes!
Yes, this is the stuff of office supply sci-fi novels, a genre we never knew we needed until now. The cards are double-sided, with lines on the front and a dot grid on the back so they work for all kinds of notes. The set comes with a pen but also works with any Pilot Frixion writing utensils.
Promising review: "I purchased these for my college-age kids for their studies at my daughter's urging (environmental reasons). It has been a great success! The Study Mode through the app has made studying for exams much easier and less of a hassle. No more bent cards. No more lost cards. All of them are in the Study Mode just waiting for self-quiz. My daughter even connects her phone to her TV and turns studying into trivia night!" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of 40 plus a pen and microfiber cloth from Amazon for $15.21.
9. A hilarious flopping pickle cat toy with catnip and silvervine, because clearly this is what your and your cat's lives have been missing. It makes noises and has a motion sensor, so it'll start wiggling when your kitty touches it! And that goofy face is so cute I cannot ~dill~ with it.
It's also USB rechargeable!
Promising review: "HIGHLY recommend! Best cat toy I've ever bought. I cannot recommend this enough; cat loves it more than life itself. They go wild for it." —J
Get it from Amazon for $12.67.
Be sure to check out our picks for the best cat toys for indoor cats!
10. An easily accessible hanging changing table organizer that'll be a game-changer for new parents and keep everything right at hand when things get messy. One time you never want to be disorganized? When there's baby poop involved.
It can also be hung on a wall!
Promising review: "Don't know how I lived without it! Before I bought this, I had to stash diapers and wipes under the changing table and bend down and grab when needed. I also had a pile of burp cloths on a side table, and all the baby's outfits in drawers. I bought this and it CHANGED MY LIFE. I keep the wipe warmer on it, as intended, always have easily and readily accessible diapers, burp cloths in one side pocket, and outfits in another. I hung this on the wall next to the changing table so I have it at an easily accessible height, ready to use and to grab whatever I need. I Love the nursery organizer and would recommend to anyone who asks." —Louis Klapper
Get it from Amazon for $26.92+ (available in two colors).
11. A genius microwave- and dishwasher-safe bowl complete with a handle, lid, and removable phone stand (!!!!) to enable peak laziness as you indulge in some ramen, pasta, soup, or cereal for one with the greatest side dish of all — your For You page.
Promising reviews: "Haven't had it long, but so far it has survived a toddler, a kindergartner with a grudge, and an angsty pre-teen in addition to allowing me to enjoy my lunch while watching an obscene amount of YouTube. Not only do I like it, but I'll probably be buying another in a different color after it is inevitably stolen by the previously mentioned pre-teen." —dabston
"It's very light, with a huge capacity for soups, salads, mac 'n' cheese, spaghetti, stews, etc. If I didn't have any dishes, this actually would be the only thing I need other than a plate. Love the lid, as you can put it in the microwave, and the top does not blow off. It WILL stain with tomato-based sauces. Who cares, as long as I've got my bowl, I'm happy! Great for camping as it is virtually weightless. :) It's pretty much indestructible." —Sheryl L. Ketchum
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors).
12. A classic Carhartt beanie over 15,000 (!!!) people have left 5-star reviews for, so it's basically the perfect hat you've been searching for every winter of your life. Buy it in your favorite color (or top five or 10 favorite colors).
Promising review: "I bought this in charcoal and lost it on a trip, so I bought the exact color again because I missed it so much. Now I'm back to buy it in more colors. It's thick, but I wear it year-round in Dallas and Chicago. It's my favorite hat. The fit is snug to the point that I can sling it back without it falling off and it fits over my afro or straight hair the same and doesn't lose is stretch after washing." —CE.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 40 colors).
13. An oversized pouch for storing some of life's most essential items: emergency snacks. It's super roomy and oversized, so it can actually hold enough snacks to tide you over on an adventure (not just a measly 100 calorie pack of pretzels).
This UK-based small biz makes adorable and high quality bags, tees, pins, and key rings. I just got this cutie and haven't used it yet, but I'm definitely going to use it for storing the snacks I'm never without within my tote when I'm traveling or on an all-day excursion. I also ordered an even larger one with the message "Mama you got this!" for my mom, and it was so useful for holding her essentials while she was recovering from surgery in the hospital. She said she got lots of compliments on it too!
Get it from Alphabet Bags on Etsy for $23.56 (available in two colors).
14. A sliding adjustable measuring spoon that can slide from a quarter to a full teaspoon on one end and a half to a full tablespoon on the other, so you won't need to clutter your drawer or dishwasher with a full set of measuring spoons. Honestly, why do the regular, nonadjustable versions exist at all?
Promising review: "One measuring spoon to replace several...how can you go wrong? The two pieces completely separate so you can wash it thoroughly! Pleased with my purchase and the amount of room it just freed up in my drawer!" —zonneschijn
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
15. A helpful charger cord name tag so your family member's and roommates will never "accidentally" (yeah, sure) steal your precious charger again.
This Stedman, North Carolina-based small biz specializes in 3D printed goodies.
Promising review: "Very happy. Daughter loves them. Now she knows at a glance not only which cords are hers, but which cord goes with each device! I matched the colors to her phone and tablet cases." —Chris Contri
Get it from Delightful Luna on Etsy for $5.50 (available in 17 colors and for iPhone or Android chargers).
16. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, an awesome grease-buster that'll save you scrubbing and change the dishwashing game for good — by making it actually kinda...fun?!?
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this stuff! She says: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout instead of cooking. But as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas in, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well."
Promising review: "Is it wrong that I wish this came with a holster for the spray gun? Seriously, I see a dirty dish and I want to pull it out, twirl the gun around my finger, and spray, just like in the wild, wild West. The soap is superior to any other; I even use it as a pre-wash for stains on my clothes. There's nothing it hasn't removed. The power wash sprayer is superior. It's easy to use, easy to whip out, soap stays soapy, and rinses clean. I don't feel like I'm wasting any or need to spray more. You can get in close and spray a cup; spray a little further back and you can hit a whole plate. I know it's sad to be this happy over something so simple, but it really does make a task that much easier, and that is appreciated. I will have a Power Wash spray bottle in the bathroom, laundry, kitchen, and pet area, because those are all the places I've carried it. Great product. The soap never fails, cuts through everything, gets rid of any greasy feeling on any material — pans, plastic, walls, and counters — and the spray is fun." —Sssshhhh
Get a spray bottle and a refill bottle from Amazon for $8.44.

17. An incredible "Tears of men who have wronged me" perfume with notes of driftwood and sea salt so you can smell the salty tears of the exes, mansplainers, etc. who have made you oh-so salty.
Promising review: "Perfect gift for too many people you know. I bought this as a joke for my friend; she absolutely loves it. It smells great too — it’s like a light sandalwood scent." —Jillian Dannunzio
Get it from Amazon for $31.95.
18. A five-pan organizing rack for anyone who is 137% DONE with the cacophony that usually results from pulling a pan out of their stack. Cooking bacon and eggs while your S.O. is still asleep? You can do it now.
It has a hole and comes with hardware to allow you to screw it into one place to keep it secure if you want!
Promising review: "This organizer works beautifully! No more cluttered cabinets! When I need a skillet, I pull one out in a matter of seconds versus digging through hazardously piled pans that my family carelessly threw back in after they were clean. I did not have any issues with any of my pans fitting in the slot, and even my extra-large pan (used for sautéing large quantities of veggies) fit into the slot, but does stick out ever so slightly. The ONLY pan that does not fit into an actual slot is my deep-pan skillet, the one I use for making stews. I was entirely expecting that and instead use the very top rack for it to sit on top of. So counting the top space, this rack fits UP to five skillets. You do have to put the racks together upon unboxing, but its simply putting the two pieces together and putting in two screws to tighten the two rack pieces. The product (once assembled) is VERY sturdy. There is the option to actually screw it down in your cabinets, but I have not found the need to use it. —Ally
Get it from Amazon for $19.87+ (available in three colors).
19. An iconic "This is fine" meme Funko Pop! figure, because you and your desk deserve a cute little buddy who captures your energy while you're at work/reading the news/just plain trying to exist in 2022.
Promising review: "Things at work have been super stressful lately, and as a result I’ve been losing morale. This little guy makes me smile whenever I’m sitting at my desk a bit frustrated. The lettering was fine on the mug I received and the paint seems fine. I would keep the cardboard panel with the flames on it to give it better context. I just taped the cardboard flames onto my pencil holder. Love this little guy." —Cheryll
Get it from Amazon for $15.20.
20. Cloud Paint, Glossier's bestselling gel-cream blush that's cruelty-free, buildable, and absolutely beloved by reviewers, so it's ready to become your new holy grail.
Promising review: "I've been on the hunt for years to replicate that rosy 'just went for a run' look that my cheeks get when I work out, and the blushes I thought were close were either too red or pinky and artificial looking. I saw the shade Storm and I was worried it would be too dark on my light-medium skin but it's not! It blends *s e a m l e s s l e y* into a healthy flush that looks exactly it's my own skin and not makeup. The texture is unlike any cream or liquid blush I've tried, it evenly disperses the pigment as you blend it in with your fingers or a foundation brush and you don't have to worry about overdoing it." —BabydollyVintage
Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in eight colors).

21. An wowworthy exfoliating mitt you can use after a long shower or bath soak to get a simultaneously luxurious and kinda gross (but in a satisfying way!!!) exfoliation experience that'll leave you feeling like a whole new person.
Take it from the user below, who left one of the best and funniest reviews I've read in a while 😂.
Promising review: "Let me start by saying, I never knew that I was a walking, living, breathing mummy zombie lady. The first time I used this glove, I soaked in the bath to get my skin nice and prepped. I whipped that thing out expecting a bit of skin to fluff off, but what ensued was 30 minutes straight of scrubbing skin off that had built up since I was a toddler. I swore at one point I found old Band-Aid goo that had been buried under years of dead skin. OK, maybe that's not true, but with the amount of dead skin that came off my body, it could have been! I finally finished removing my snake skin and began draining the bathtub. What was left was like a scene from a horror movie. The entire bottom of the bathtub couldn't be seen because of the numerous chunks of dead skin clinging to it. That's not counting what went down the drain. I can only imagine that the creatures down there will one day rise to hunt me down and eat me because they gained an affinity for the taste of my flesh. I had to take an extra 15 minutes to clean my bathtub due to the gray, zombie skin that refused to be rinsed away. In other words, if you don't want to be a mummy, zombie person, this glove is your ticket to the living realm. Buy the glove, join the living — thank me later." —Shannon Graham
22. An adorable and inspiring Pusheen positivity journal to help you focus on all the awesome things in your life and boost your meow-d. It's got 50 prompts, like spots to journal favorite memories and make lists of things you love, plus tons of delightful Pusheen illustrations.
This is way cuter and simpler than most daily gratitude journals, and honestly I'm thinking of ordering it...right now.
Promising review: "I HIGHLY recommend this journal. I love and will buy almost anything Pusheen, but this might be my favorite product. On each page there is a new, thought-provoking question that helps you get to know and love yourself while also keeping a lovely record of your thoughts. And, of course, there is a Pusheen on almost every page to keep those positive vibes going! Truly one of my favorite ever purchases." —Mia
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
23. The perfect lightweight, hypoallergenic, gold hoop earrings everyone should have in their jewelry box.
Get one pair from Baublebar for $38+ (available in three sizes).
We've got you covered with a list of the best hoop earrings, BTW.
24. Whimsical bird-shaped glasses that truly put the "tail" in "cocktail" and can't be ~beak~ for your next happy hour — they'll put all your plain glasses to shame.
Promising review: "Quirky and fun. How can you NOT like drinking from a bird butt?! OK, they’re silly and I found them at a restaurant in Cancun then ordered on Amazon. But they’re adorable. They don’t hold a lot — think martini or shot. Mine came with cleaning brushes which was a nice touch. They’re kinda impossible to clean otherwise. Glass quality is good. No scratches. Well packed too." —Tim O.
25. An OMGworthy custom throw of your pet's face so you can cuddle up with their cuteness even when they're ignoring you in favor of food, their toys, or an interesting noise outside.
This Barcelona-based shop makes all sorts of gorgeous custom pet goodies!
Promising review: "I absolutely loved this blanket, and so did the person I gave it to as a gift. The fabric is so soft and the quality of the photo image was perfect." —Jessica Walden
Get it from Petsandyouorignal on Etsy for $42.61+ (available in three sizes, 48 background options, and with up to seven pets on it).
26. Impressively real-looking faux tulips you will love seeing in your home everyday, but won't have to put in any effort — zero, zip, zilch, nada — to take care of. Remind me why you've spent all that money on real flowers over the years again?
Promising review: "Gorgeous artificial flowers!! Perfect for those of us who are allergy-riddled floral enthusiasts. I use them for seasonal and holiday decorating, as well as homemade gifts for my family and friends. I love the careful attention to detail, particularly how random leaves appear to have 'dirt' as if freshly picked right from the garden. Really appreciate a quality allergy-free floral option." —Jen M
Get a set of 28 from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in a variety of colors, styles, and quantities).
27. An unbelievably cute Baby Yoda- and frog-embroidered cardigan that will elicit a Mandolorian...I mean, mandatory "squee!!!" of delight from all who lay eyes upon it.
Get it from Box Lunch for $44.90 (available in women's sizes XS–3X).
28. A beyond clever laundry station stand to make both storing and pouring detergent a breeze and laundry (at least a little bit) less of a chore.
Promising review: "I love it! It solved all my problems. I don’t have to lift the heavy bottles every time I do a load of laundry. Since I am not moving the bottle there are fewer spills and splashes. When there is a splash, it is usually contained to the attached dispenser tray. Easy to clean; I can stick them in the dishwasher if splashes build up. It fits in my cabinet." —Gamer
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
29. And finally, a very handsome top hat for reptiles and other small animals basically guaranteed to be the best thing you'll see all day. It's called fasssssshion, look it up.
It's from the aptly named, UK-based shop HissyFitHats, which makes hats and glasses for snakes and other small pets.
Promising review: "Bean (a toad) has become quite the regular at HissyFitHats! We just love them. Not only is the quality of the hat absolutely brilliant, but the owners are so kind and even gave Bean some extras! I will always purchase Bean's accessories from here, they're just fabulous!" —Caitlin
Get it from HissyFitHats on Etsy for $6.22 (available with or without a chin strap).
30. A jewelry cleaning stick with professional results to rescue the tarnished accessories in your collection and bring back the dazzling *sparkle* you haven't seen in years.
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 a pack of three from Amazon for $18.39.
31. A car cupholder adapter made to fit your larger capacity bottles so your favorite on-the-go accessory can conveniently fit in the car, rather than loudly rolling around on the floor.

Promising review: "This is the best invention ever! I’m a sauce queen and this allows me to have sauce in my car without wasting it! Who ever invented this knows my love language!" —Quintana
