1. Wad-Free, a super clever device to solve all your sheet-washing woes. It'll help your sheets dry faster and with fewer wrinkles, and prevent them from trapping all the clothes you throw in there with them in a tangled up ball. Where have these been your whole laundry-doing life?!?
They're reusable, BPA-free, and from a small business that launched during the pandemic.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work — well, I can absolutely confirm this does! I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices so there was one for the fitted sheet and the flat sheet. I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, but they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

2. An absolutely ingenious purse-cleaning sticky ball, in case you currently have 100 calories worth of pretzel crumbs at the bottom of your purse like I do. This lil' friend has a washable and reusable sticky ball inside the plastic casing, so it'll roll around and collect all that grossness and you can continue blissfully not cleaning your purse out for months at a time 😜.
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 $12.99 (available in two colors).
3. Handy dandy faucet extenders to make getting your kiddo's (often v nasty) hands clean less of a hassle. They'll also feel so grown-up when they can actually reach the water!
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. Wet & Forget shower spray, which'll seriously cut down the time you spend cleaning your bathroom *and* eliminate even the most stubborn stains. True to its name, all you have to do is spray your shower or tub, let it sit overnight, and rinse it the next morning to reveal a cleaning miracle. It works so well, you only need to use it once a week!
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
5. A genius slicing tool that'll allow you to hold tricky foods like cherry tomatoes, shrimp, bread, meat, and bagels steady without putting your fingers in harm's way. It'll also seriously reduce your chopping time when you're prepping a salad!
It's BPA-free and dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love this gadget! It’s so simple. Trust me...if you cut tomatoes in half, just do it!! It’s so easy to use. You do need to pretty much fill it up; you can’t just put three or four tomatoes in. Also, don’t press too hard, just lightly rest your hand on top and use a VERY sharp knife for best results. If your knife is dull this will not work! And if you cut raw chicken breasts in half, buy two, because you can use one for that as well!! Just make sure you label it 'raw chicken' and only use it for that." —Leah
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in five colors).
6. Grip Clean, a soap specially made for folks who work with their hands. It's designed to wash away substances like grease, oil, and ink, plus moisturize as it cleans so your hands aren't left raw.
Promising review: "AMAZING! My husband and I saw this on Shark Tank and he immediately had me order some for him and his family for Christmas! He works on the farm and has used every industrial-type soap available. This works better than ANYTHING on the market! And it’s natural! I even use it on my little artist (7-year-old) who constantly has paint/marker/glitter glue/etc. on her hands. It truly is amazing!" —M. Caudill
Get it from Amazon for $11.50.
7. And after you get all that gunk off, O'Keefe's Working Hands cream, aka the ultimate savior cream for hopelessly (or so you thought) cracked knuckles that over 12,000 Amazon reviewers swear by.
The reviewer pics above were taken just FOUR DAYS apart!!!
Promising review: "Don't even think about buying another brand of hand cream. My hands get so dry that they crack in the cold weather. O'Keeffe's repairs my hands almost overnight and if I continue to just apply at night before bed, keeps them from cracking again. It has no odor and is not greasy — perfect hand cream because you don't slime everything you touch afterward. I'll never use another brand." —|J|
Get it from Amazon for $8.48.
8. A sheet of oh-so-clever window film that puts the fun in "functional." Not only will it give you the privacy you've been desperate for (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 $9.98+ (available in nine sizes).
9. 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

10. Dissolving and soothing menthol canker sore patches that'll actually stay put in your mouth for up to 12 hours (!!!) and save you from searing pain every time you chew. Eating is one of the greatest joys of life, and canker sores are a special kind of evil that robs you of that joy. People, it's time to fight back.
Promising review: "Finally, relief! Canker sores are tiny, yet extremely painful, especially when chewing! I had one below one of my molars. It was hell to chew, so I ordered these. I followed the instructions, which tell you to dry the sore first and hold the tablet there for 20 seconds. Amazingly, it sticks and stays for the full 12 hours (for me it was more like 14 hours). It doesn't slide off at all, even when chewing breakfast the next morning. Even brushing my teeth, it stayed. Once it was fully dissolved I could tell it helped because the pain was greatly reduced (still slight discomfort, but not pain like before). I highly recommend these for speeding up the healing process and for helping with the pain." —Sally

11. Amazing AirPod-cleaning putty squares, because your precious pods are nasty, TBH, and it might even be affecting the sound quality. The solution isn't a trip to the Genius Bar — it's these wonderfully satisfying squares.
Promising review: "AirSquares are AMAZING! I’ve tried for years to clean out my AirPods. Nothing has worked...until now. This is one of those perfect products that does exactly what it claims to do. My AirPods were so dirty that I was going to buy new ones. Not anymore!! My AirPods look like new after using these. I’ve already sent some to my family and everyone is getting some for the holidays! If you have dirty AirPods, you NEED AirSquares. You will NOT regret it." —Jason F
Get 12 squares from Amazon for $11.99.
12. A simple-yet-brilliant lid organizer with adjustable dividers so you can finally, finally, FINALLY find the lid that actually fits the container you're using. *Extremely dramatic infomercial voice* If your reusable container drawer looks like a lawless wasteland, please know that you're not alone — but there is hope.
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five styles).
13. 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 $5.67.
14. Double-sided carpet tape for anyone who is pretty much unable to step onto their favorite rug without slipping so much it's like a full-on, Disney-movie-montage-worthy magic carpet ride. Your clumsy self can enter ~a whole new world~ with this stuff.
If you're worried about damaging a delicate floor like wood, you could also use it to tape a nonskid pad to the bottom of the rug!
Promising review: "Finally, a product that works!!!!! I have bought at least five other products trying to anchor my hallway runner to the floor, since it slides everywhere on the laminate flooring. This tape is finally what worked. I will definitely buy it again for any future needs!" —LB
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
15. An amazing car cleaner spray that works on pretty much every surface of your interior, from leather to plastic to vinyl to fabric to wood to rubber. Because your car is a mess, and the fewer products you need to clean it, the better.
Promising review: "Seriously, what is this sorcery? I've had my car 10 years and have never thought to clean the upholstery and the infinite food/grease spills from tilted takeout boxes of authentic Mexican food. I embarrassingly got used to the way it looked until one day I cleaned my car really thoroughly and realized the seats were disgusting. So I tried the product. I cleaned small sections so it wouldn’t dry (with a scrub brush) and then used a few microfiber towels to wipe up anything remaining. It worked so well! No fumes." —KO
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (or $16.12 with the Subscribe & Save option).
16. A Bite Away tool, aka the mosquito bite relief you've been searching for every summer but failed to find in the form of creams or anything else.
Promising review: "I can’t say enough good about this product. I am severely allergic to mosquito bites (skeeter syndrome) and this is the first product ever that has provided long-lasting relief. Yes, like others described, you do feel a burning sensation. At least in my case, it has not caused any lasting marks. Any discomfort that I feel from the heat is far outweighed by the benefits of not having any itching. When you first apply it, the itching actually increases, but by the time you are done with the treatment, the itching is completely gone. I was so shocked at how effective it is from the first time I used it. I don’t know how I lived without this for so long!" —Gigli
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
17. A creative and customizable cord- and router-concealing box made from vintage books, so your shelves will look all ~highbrow~ instead of like a high-key mess of wires.
It's from a small business based in Utah!
Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one, and I’ve been a Prime member since day one. This product is EXTREMELY well-made and very unique. Plus it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. The customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this, but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme
Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in 14 sizes and 15 colors or a custom color).
18. Ingenious double shower hooks that'll allow you to swap out just your curtain or just your liner without having to basically dismantle your whole shower setup every time. Let's leave the shower curtain struggles to the Bates Motel, shall we?
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has and loves these. Check out her full shower hook review (#3).
Promising review: "Where have these hooks been all my life?! They make removing the shower curtain liner for washing SO much easier. The quality is great, and they actually glide across the bar." —CASEINPOINT
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $12.74+ (available in four colors).
19. A ~handy~ grooming glove over 3,000 pet owners swear by for giving their tiny shed monster a groom they'll actually enjoy — and saving themselves from a house full of hair.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing. She says, "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn’t be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet’s fur. That’s it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works) but it’s no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was 5 and he’d been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand."
Promising review: "The cats are in heaven!!! We have four cats and bought this to try to cut down on shedding and hairballs. After having it for just a week, we never want to be without it. Even our anti-social cat comes up and begs for a pet when the glove comes out. The only thing that is not perfect on this glove is that I have smaller hands, and the glove is a little big, so my pinky doesn't stay where it should. But hey, if that's the only downside, we aren't going to complain. Long story short, if you love your pets, you will buy this glove as soon as possible." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
20. Keurig-cleaning cups that can be used with any Keurig single-cup machine and will keep your homemade brews tasting their best, eliminating any residue from old batches that's been making them taste like the crappy cup of coffee Buddy buys Jovie in Elf.
Promising review: "10 stars!! Pictures are worth 1,000 words folks. I haven’t cleaned my Keurig in years...yes it’s nasty, but I guess I never really thought about it. As you can see from start to finish, the water was BLACK in the beginning, now it is CLEAR! I can’t wait to clean my Keurig every week (it’s too easy not to do it) plus enjoy tomorrow’s cup of joe :). Amazing product. Easy to use. No smell. I already bought two more boxes 👍" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $12.58.
21. An amazing anti-fog spray for any four-eyed folks who have to mask up all day at work (or even just on and off when running errands!). Just spritz this on your glasses before you head out the door and they'll *actually* stay clear for once.
22. A fashionable and functional microfiber Kitsch hair towel that'll help you cut down on drying time, even if your hair is super long and thick. Plus, being able to toss your strands in this and multitask while they dry? A busy person's dream.
It's from a woman-owned business, and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has one and loves it!
Promising review: "I usually don’t take the time to rate any of the items I purchase on Amazon, but I love this hair towel! It really holds your hair in place. I have very long and thick hair so normal hair turbans without the scrunch do nothing for me. This towel holds every inch of my hair with no problem and DOES NOT ride up!!!!! I love it PERIOD and I will be buying another one!!!" —Gia Denise
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (or $16.63+ with the Subscribe & Save option; available in 11 styles).
23. A pair of clever combs for removing all the crusty crust from around your pooch's eyes. Once those stubborn tear stains are gone, you might start crying some tears (of joy) of your own.
Promising review: "I have a 16-pound Pomeranian/papillon mix, and she gets tearstains nonstop. I tried all kinds of wipes, oils, and washes, but they would barely get anything out. Sometimes the tearstains get crusty and I can't get them out at all. THESE ACTUALLY HELPED A LOT. The little teeth on them are just the right size for brushing through the crusty areas around her eyes, and then I just wipe the loose remains off easily. And my dog cooperates; she even likes it, I think. I would definitely recommend this product to small-dog owners with similar issues. I feel like they would be even better if they were not as wide, but that's not too big of an issue. I still recommend them." —Lana D
Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.95.
24. 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!
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 $13.
25. A genius, travel-ready makeup brush, which comes in a compact case so it won't get powder all over your purse and is — get this — fully adjustable. Just slide it up or down to get the exact size brush you need to apply whatever product you're using.
This small biz specializes in innovative, on-the-go makeup essentials and is known for their compact and customizable beauty product stacks.
Promising review: "Best brush ever! I love this adjustable brush. It's so handy to have just one brush where I can control the size. It's really the only one I need now." —Angie Temple
Get it from Subtl Beauty for $20.
26. A beyond helpful treat-dispensing pad if your pupper despises baths above all else. You can just cover it in a spreadable treat like peanut butter and stick to the wall of your tub to trick your dirty doggo into standing still.
It's dishwasher safe, and you can even freeze it with the treat on it to make the yumminess last longer. As the reviewer below mentions, just be sure to supervise Fido while it's in use so he doesn't chew off one of the little pieces!
Promising review: "Really the best thing for grooming your dog! We use this for the bath, drying, brushing, giving eye drops, etc. Has really changed our experience with grooming our dog who used to hate baths, and he's so much happier, too! Only thing is to make sure you watch your pup the full time while licking peanut butter or whatever you put on the slow feeder...we left him after grooming to finish up his peanut butter and he bit a piece of the plastic off and ate it. We learned for next time! Highly highly recommend!" —Arielle
Get it from Amazon for $10.95.
27. A clear shower curtain liner featuring roomy mesh pockets to keep all your products within arm's reach, without cluttering the tiny corners of your tub.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this wonder: "I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, which seems expensive for a shower curtain liner but is totally worth the price. Its mesh pockets are incredibly sturdy and even *I* can fit all my shower stuff in there. (FYI, I often keep three or four body washes and conditioners each in the shower at all times.) There’s lots of reinforcement where each pocket meets the liner and at the top of the liner, so dropping a weighty bottle of shampoo in a pocket is NBD. Obviously, you want to try for even weight distribution between the pockets and toiletries, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue. And these smooth-gliding hooks I also bought for my new digs make opening and closing my shower curtain as smooth as buttah." Check out her full review here (#7).
Get it from Amazon for $25.92+ (available in two colors).
28. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet, because you might wonder why over 1,000 people left positive reviews for a magnet, but you'll understand when it saves you from having ANOTHER fight with your SO or roommate for throwing their icky cereal bowl in with the dishes you JUST. FREAKING. WASHED.
Promising review: "This holds really well to the door of the dishwasher and I couldn't be more pleased with it. It's very simple and no-frills, but it does the job and didn't cost a lot. It makes our lives much easier not having to worry if the dishes are clean, and it saves water that way!" —brooke
Get it from Amazon for $5.81.
29. 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.
Promising review: "This tape works wonders. I am trying to get a recent move paid off, so I really couldn't afford to replace screens at this point, even if I did them myself. This tape made all the difference in my house. I no longer had to leave the windows closed, worrying about sitting on the couch with fly swatter in hand, or watching my cats zoom around the house trying to catch them and knocking everything over in the process." —MsRich2u
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two colors).
30. 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 $5.60+ (available in two lengths and two colors).
31. A super-useful washable, reusable, biodegradable towel made to do (and excel at) one very specific job. Namely, absorb all the grease from your bacon with less waste than just using a paper towel.
Just use it to blot bacon like you would a normal paper towel, then soak it in hot water and degreasing dish soap and toss it in the washer to be used again. This genius creation is from a Colorado-based small biz that makes fabric alternatives to all sorts of disposable household products.
Promising review: "Best thing ever. We try to be as sustainable as we can. I hated buying paper towels for bacon grease because we would always use them for everything else because they were there. Now that I have this fancy little towel, we no longer buy paper towels and I am beyond happy. It also cleans very well!" —Kelly Rooney
Get it from Green City Living on Amazon Handmade for $14.99.
32. A convenient keyring bangle that's the ultimate combo of fashion and function. If you're anyone who loses anything that's not literally attached to their body, this was basically made for you.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh, I love love love this thing! It is exactly what I needed! I’m always fumbling for a place to put my keys since my purse is small and I don’t always have pockets (thanks, women’s jeans companies, for those FAKE pockets!)...anyway!!! This thing is so handy. I just put it on my wrist and go! It doesn’t hang too low and bump up against my leg when I’m driving either! Perfection! Planning on buying some as gifts! Thank you!!!" —MKelly
Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in 40 colors and prints).
33. A low-key genius burger holder sure to make anyone who tends to make a mess while eating feel super seen. No more spilling on your shirt, losing precious toppings out the back of the bun, or having to strategically calculate which bites to take for minimum mess. It's great for when you're on the go without real plates available, too.
It's dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I have neuropathy and everything I pick up to eat turns into a squashed mess, so as soon as I saw this I ordered it. First hamburger I've eaten without it turning into a mess in years. I loaded up the burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and mayo, and every bite was delicious!! I LOVE IT!!!!!" —Paul Roup
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
34. The Safety Nailer, a game-changer for anyone who lives in constant fear of whacking their hands when they hammer. It's also great for anyone with dexterity issues!
It was invented by a former Navy safety officer!
Promising review: "I am teaching my daughters how to wield a hammer and this is the piece of equipment that is saving their fingers. Yes, we learn by experience, but this will keep them interested in helping me. Pain/smashed fingers tend to keep you off of learning a new skill. They seem to be strong; I grabbed one the day I got them and purposefully missed a few times and it saved my fingers. They are still in one piece and work fine. A bit time consuming to stop and drop a nail in every time, but worth it for small projects or for those that constantly smash their fingers." —Amazon Customer

35. A special pill-removing, pumice-esque stone in case you thought that your old favorite, pill-covered sweater was officially out of commission. You'll be happy to be proved wrong.
It's available from a Black woman–owned, Brooklyn–based small business!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves this! She writes: "Like many of you, I've been living in sweats and PJs during this almost-year of WFH full-time. And it's made me revisit the state of some of my loungewear. Take for example, this college sweatshirt I wear all the time — as evidenced by the rather EXTENSIVE pilling all over it. So when I saw this pumice-esque sweater stone (it's made from upcycled car windshield glass — how cool is that?!), I decided it was worth the try. We've featured electric pill removers, but sometimes you're looking for a little more detail or control — that's where this stone comes in handy. I was able to navigate around the contours of the logo on my sweatshirt with ease, removing pills using the corner or the entire flat bottom in a few quick strokes. It truly took no time at all — the sweatshirt was done in mere minutes. The only thing I would note is that particles do 'fall out' of the stone, so do your pill-removing on a surface that's easy to sweep or vacuum up at the end."
Get it from Celsious for $17.
36. DressWeights, aka heroic little weights that adhere to your hem to prevent a Marilyn Monroe moment next time you rock your fave sundress on a windy day. Go ahead and wear your comfy, worn-out undies — no one's gonna see.
The adhesive is strong but removable, so they can be used again and again! These clever babies are from a NY-based, woman- and family-run small business.
Promising review: "These are, hands down, a complete lifesaver. I recently attended a multiday conference event where wardrobe malfunctions weren't an option. Add in mid-Atlantic summer breezes and skirts and, well, you have a potential disaster on your hands, right? NO. These babies will keep your hemlines down where they belong, and they work hard without being cumbersome. They're lightweight but dense, can easily be adjusted or moved without removing the backing, and they come in their own case — what more could you ask for?" —tahlia pankau
Get a set of four from Dress Strong on Etsy for $15.
37. A motion-activated toilet light that'll make tripping or waking someone up with the bathroom light when you have to pee at 3 a.m. a thing of the past, not to mention bowl over any future overnight guests.
It's got over 5,000 5-star reviews! You can choose between five brightness settings and 16 colors, or have it cycle through different colors. It automatically turns off when you leave or turn on the bathroom light.
Promising review: "This is the greatest thing for kids or adults alike. I have it set on just the blue light. When I get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, it makes me smile. It lights up enough for you to see, but isn't bright enough to be bothersome or wake you up. It's easy to install and I'd recommend it to anyone. I showed it to a friend at work and they are buying it for their grandparents who complained about getting up in the middle of the night in the dark." —Amazon customer

38. Beyond handy grocery bag handles for anyone who REFUSES to make multiple trips into the house with their baggage. These babies make it possible to carry way more at once (even when your roommates refuse to help) and can even hold the bags together in the back of the car so they don't spill.
Promising review: "It usually takes me a dozen trips from my car to my house to get my groceries inside, and if I carry too many at one time, the handles cut off the circulation in my hands and arms. These special handles solved all my problems. Today, I only made three trips from the car to the house! When I had to put the bags down to open the door, these handles laid on top of the bags and I only had to grab them, instead of searching for all the plastic handles as they flopped around. Now there are no more bag marks on my wrist and my hands don't go numb! Who would have thought that something so simple could make my life so much better?" —Rosemary Smith Dattler
