1. A two-in-one herb stripper and chopper with nine holes for stripping everything from rosemary to kale, plus a covered blade you can open up when it's chop o' clock. Herbie: Fully Loaded is no longer just a film from your childhood, it's also the perfect way to describe the well-seasoned, flavor-loaded dishes this'll help you make.
Promising review: "I had no idea how much I needed this gadget until I got it. I thought it might still require a gentle touch to strip some herbs, but not at all; I ripped through one-half pound of thyme in about 15 minutes. Plus, I got at least twice as much herb as I normally do, as this did the job without me becoming super bored and only half-heartedly trying to finish. Yay." —Leah Woodard
Get it from Amazon for $9.12.
2. A small-but-mighty pet hair scraper to get into every tough-to-reach place and collect every last bit of hair your fuzzy angel has left behind. If your pet sheds, salvation is here — and it can fit in the palm of your hand.
Promising review: "My family drove from Wisconsin to Washington with our yellow Lab. I didn't think my van would ever be the same again. I bought this tool and was super skeptical, but I was desperate. THIS TOOL LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!! After finishing (it did take a bit of time, the tool is small) my floors and seats of my van look BRAND-NEW!!! I would pay triple the amount I paid for this tool. I've never seen anything like it! We own a pretty heavy duty shop vacuum and it didn't even scratch the surface. We also tried every type of pet/lint roller we could find and nothing came close. This tool will blow your mind! After cleaning out our van, I immediately messaged all friends and family with pets (yes, it really is that good!). Don't waste any more time or money on other products. This simple tool will do a better job than you could ever imagine! A MUST own for any pet owner!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
3. Or for larger areas, paws-itively amazing rubber pet hair broom with a built-in squeegee designed to sweep up all that shedding (and even liquids!) like no other. It's def a must for anyone who ever has to clean up after their pet, but can be used on non-fur baby-related spills too.
Since it's basically a giant squeegee, you can even use it on cars and windows! And yes, it also works for cleaning up after humans who shed hair like nobody's business (same). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord raves about it for that purpose in her Furemover broom review.
(Psst...if you're wondering, the sign next to the pooch on the right reads "This is our new carpet broom. THIS is who is evicted from our bedroom. This is the gross ball of hair collected from our carpet.")
Promising review: "LIFE-CHANGER. We have two very floofy cats and I have long, thick hair, so needless to say there is a lot of shedding in our house. I could tell our vacuum wasn't quite doing the trick and I happened to stumble upon this item that looked to be the solution. WOW. First of all, it's a bit of a workout if you've got a medium-pile carpet like I do. I use short, firm strokes with the squeegee side and it pulls the hair up instantly. It's tedious work to do a whole room, but the satisfaction you get when you see all the hair makes it so worth it. Then you'll do a second pass in high-traffic areas and see how much MORE hair there is and wonder how you ever lived like that. Once you've got a nice pile, you can pick the clump of fur up by hand. I like to give it a quick vacuum after to get the dust and dirt that comes up. I haven't used it on our laminate flooring, but I'm sure that will blow me away too. This item is a complete must-have for anyone who owns a furry pet. This broom will absolutely outshine any expensive 'pet-rated' vacuum cleaner out there." —Leanna G
Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (also available in a collapsible version).
4. 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, instead of giving up and going with plastic wrap instead.
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).
5. An exfoliating, dermaplaning touch-up razor you can use to remove dead skin and peach fuzz, touch up your eyebrows, and just generally leave your face feeling fresher than it ever has before. A whopping 6,000 reviewers love it, so chances are you will too.
Promising review: "Super easy and satisfying to use — you’re literally scraping all of the peach fuzz and dead skin off your face. The first photo shows all of the stuff that this product took off my face, and the second two photos are before and after I used this product. My face is glowing and incredibly soft now. Highly recommend." —Jane

6. Washable microfiber mop pads that'll fit on your trusty Swiffer WetJet or similar mops so you can kick wasteful and pricey disposable pads to the curb.
One pad can last up to 100 washes and works on pretty much any surface, from wood to tile to stone.
Promising review: "I wanted to reduce waste with disposable pads and I was pleasantly surprised by these. This photo was AFTER I cleaned the floor with the disposable pad! I was able to get a super clean floor, spots were easier to clean up, and it didn’t sound like it was scratching my floors. This was easy to use, didn’t use more cleaner then the disposable pads, and got my floor cleaner. Definitely gonna but more if the two I got ever wear out." —Riley
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.95 (or $14.20 with the Subscribe & Save option).
7. A must-have, keychain-friendly car escape tool to up your on-the-go emergency-preparedness game. This tiny miracle has both a seatbelt cutter and a window breaker to get you to safety ASAP.
Check out this review from an actual firefighter with tips on how to use this tool!
Promising review: "Just had to use one of these that I keep on my keychain. I was first on the scene of a nasty wrong-way crash. The driver and a passenger were stuck inside the vehicle. The doors could not be easily opened (on the driver side) so I pulled out my keys and used this tool to pop out the window. It instantly caused the tempered glass to shatter and I knocked the excess away with my flashlight before using a knife to cut away at the airbags. The woman survived and it was incredibly comforting for her to see me face to face and know that she had a way out and that she wasn't stuck. We waited for a little and paramedics arrived and were able to give everyone the care they needed. This was a real-life scenario and this product worked. Would absolutely recommend." —Madison
Get it in orange from Amazon for $8.99 (available in more colors here).
8. A sleek stainless steel wine stopper and re-sealer that claims to keep an open bottle fresh for up to *10* days, and is really, truly leakproof for when it's time to BYOB. Now you'll never waste a single drop!
Promising review: "These wine bottle stoppers are the best I have ever used! They are very easy and quick to seal and open, look good, and I also did a test to see whether or not they are really 100% leakproof as claimed, and they are! They are leakproof! These are very helpful for when you need to transport a not-full bottle and want to be sure not to spill anything. I am really happy with these and definitely recommend them!" —Allison
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors).
9. 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.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95.
10. Adjustable bedsheet fasteners, because apparently you're not the only one who wakes up with their fitted sheet in a crumpled mess at least twice a week. Or, if you're me, pretty much every day.
Promising review: "Wish I had bought these years ago! I have a very thick mattress, so sheets staying on the bed is truly a daily battle. On top of that, I toss and turn frequently during the night. For YEARS I have battled my fitted sheets. EVERY DAY I would have to adjust them. Finally I decided to try these holder straps. BEST PURCHASE EVER! I no longer have to adjust my sheets. They are pretty easy to install. There might be a short adjustment period trying to figure out exactly where to put them, but it’s very easy. The grips on the fasteners do not tear the sheets. I have not had to adjust my sheets ONE time since buying these. I would buy them again and again!" —Elizabeth Eaton
Get a set of four from Amazon for $10.29.
11. Super convenient shower curtain clips to put an end to those small (and not-so-small) bathroom floor floods you seem to cause every morning once and for all.
Promising review: "Got these to hold our shower curtain in the camper. The curtain on our camper shower is just barely wide enough, so water would leak out. Not anymore!!! They blend in, so they look great. Just slide the curtain in and go — no more clean up after your shower. Wish I had discovered these years ago." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99.
12. A nourishing shea butter and hyaluronic acid shower lotion for a smarter way to hydrate your skin post-shower. It's designed to be applied when your skin is still wet and your pores are most open to absorb all the moisturizing goodness — whoever came up with this is a skincare genius.
Promising review: "I've been using this product for one week, and my skin has never been softer. I'm in my early 50s, and every year around fall, my skin begins to dry out. By January, it's actually cracking and painful, and showering only made things worse. That's why this year, I decided to start moisturizing BEFORE the cold winter months. This product leaves your skin soft, smooth, and well hydrated. But best of all, it doesn't feel greasy. It's gentle, which is a concern for me since I have sensitive skin. A little of this product goes a long way. The instructions say put a dime-size dollop of lotion on each arm and leg, and that really is all you need for your extremities. It spreads smoothly and covers a large area. Moisturizing while still damp from the shower is definitely the way to go. This also has a very clean scent that smells like a soft mixture of coconut and vanilla, but I think that may actually be the scent coming from the shea butter (not sure). I'm sold on this stuff." —Flipp'n Pages
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
13. 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).
14. A handy Souper Cubes freezer tray that makes it ~souper~ easy to freeze a half- or full-cup portion of notoriously hard-to-freeze things like soup, sauces, or other liquid dishes and ingredients. Then just pop out as many cubes as you need for a meal or recipe and thaw!
It's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe, and it has fill lines on the side of the compartments for half and full cups as well as 125 and 250 ml if you prefer the metric life.
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned half-cup and one-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time, but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
15. A handy "All out of" shopping checklist notepad complete with common grocery items organized by category for you to check off to build your shopping list, plus blank spaces for your less-common needs. It's perfect for those of us who've sometimes forget what exactly it is we need to remind ourselves to remember.
Plus, since its sorted by category, you won't find yourself doubling back to an aisle you've already visited when you remember something else you need.
Promising review: "Absolutely essential! If you're like me, you become a deer in the headlights when you walk into the grocery store. That's why this notepad is a game changer. We keep this on the refrigerator and check the appropriate box whenever we use the last of/realize we are out of something. I also use this list to plan for shopping trips. There is nothing worse than getting back from the store and realizing that you forgot to buy something essential. Making a list only helps when you think of everything that you need when you're making the list. 'All out of' provides a comprehensive list of the essentials and helps with the brainstorming process. I have already recommended this product to my friends." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.10+ (available in five styles, including vegetarian, vegan, and keto versions).
16. 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 $6.69+ (available in two colors).
17. Easy to use lil garbage disposal freshening beads to refresh your nasty-smelling sink in only 15 seconds. These may be small, but they pack more than enough punch to tackle the remaining stink of the fish tacos you made two weeks ago.
Promising review: "This product was a lifesaver! My roommates and I recently moved into a new apartment, and we noticed a gross smell coming from our garbage disposal. We wanted a quick and easy solution to the smell, and let me tell you, these little guys do the trick! After following the simple instructions, our garbage disposal went from smelling like trash to lemon candy (not kidding)! Amazing purchase, 10/10 recommend!" —Molly Frank
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $7.63.
18. Cute fruit-shaped non-scratch dish scrubbers that definitely combine form and function. They're dishwasher and washing machine safe, and reviewers say they stay stink-free for a remarkably long time. I'm talking one of these can last for months on end — berry impressive.
Promising review: "HOW DO THESE NOT EVER SMELL?!?? Seriously, it takes MONTHS for one of these to start smelling a little bit. I do not understand the magic here. I have new roommates that never hang it up to dry, so this thing is just constantly wet and never fully dry, and IT STILL DOESN'T SMELL! Also, it's super comfortable and soft to use, and the cute designs are hard to beat!! It washes super well; I'll never go back to the archaic sponges. I will say that once it does start smelling (again, like after maybe 6 months of continual use), there is no saving it (I've tried vinegar and alcohol washes), so it's best to toss it and get a new one. But I can't complain because normal sponges last only a few weeks before getting a horrendous smell. Also, when these DO start to smell, the smell doesn't transfer to your hands like it does with the old sponges (YUCK!). I've been using these for 4.5 years, and I've only had to buy two five-packs, and I'm still not done with the second pack. So I get over two years with each set of these sponges. Amazing!!" —Bonnie
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six styles) or a five-pack for $17.99.
19. Hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free makeup brush-cleaning "shampoo" to have your beloved brushes (which are currently caked in powder) suds-enly looking like new.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this brush shampoo! I was a little skeptical of how well it would clean my brushes since I'd never tried it before, but after using this I am very pleased with the outcome. It has a faint shampoo scent but nothing too overpowering, and suds like you wouldn't believe. It got all the way down to the base of the brush and gave it a really good cleaning. One of my brushes is made from boar hair (Estée Lauder powder brush) and I was worried it was going to frizz it out and ruin the shape, but it actually improved it after I had previously used baby shampoo. It's very soft and not at all coarse feeling. I also used this shampoo on my Beauty Blender, and it did a great job getting all the foundation out. All in all, I'd rate this product a 10/10!" —Katastrophe
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (or $7.59 with the Subscribe & Save option).
20. A massive foot file over 10,000 reviewers think is up to the equally massive task of rescuing your crusty tootsies. I hope you stocked up on sandals and mules for this summer, because you're gonna want to show off your baby-smooth heels.
Promising review: "I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it!!! In less than five minutes all of the dry, dead skin came off. It didn’t hurt and I didn’t need expensive paraffin treatments or foot soaks. I can’t believe I’ve struggled with dry heels for so long! Can’t express how amazing it feels to have smooth heels. Easy to use and quick!" —Teacher Mom
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
21. An OMG-worthy sponge holder that'll turn your dishwashing buddy into the famous fellow who lives in a pineapple under the sea — yes, by giving it square pants. It's silly, but practical too — the nautically nonsensical holder is open on the bottom to allow for drainage and is soooo much better than letting said sponge fester at the (Bikini) bottom of your sink.
It's from a New York-based Etsy shop.
Promising review: "I love my little SpongeBob! It’s super high quality and makes doing the dishes a little more fun. Came with a cute thank you note :). I’m definitely buying another one." —fangirlphoebe
Get it from OctoShopCo on Etsy for $8.
22. 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 $9.99+.
23. A brilliantly designed pill organizer that puts all other pill organizers to shame. It's got removable compartments for each day (in other words, no need to schlep the whole thing for a weekend trip), and each of those compartments are divided into a.m. and p.m. sections. No more forgetting to pack *or* take your meds with this baby.
Promising review: "Perfect for people on the GO! I'm active duty Navy. I take BC, fish oil, vitamin C, calcium 600, and MG. BC has to be every day at the same time, and sometimes, I leave the house before then. It's nice to just take the individual day container with me, and take it at the appropriate time. Most of my vitamins have to be taken twice a day, so this is an easy way to remember if I did or not. Refill on Saturday night and set for the whole week!" —samantha
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in seven colors).
24. Sleep-saving 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 needly 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

25. A beyond convenient document clip that attaches to your monitor via Command strip and can hold up to 30 sheets of paper for you to easily reference when studying, transcribing, or doing any other task. No more glancing up and down constantly and losing your place, which means you'll get things done faster.
Promising review: "This simple item has made my life easier. It is extremely easy to install and to use. It has increased my productivity in the office when needing to refer to a hard document. When not in use, you can easily hide it behind your screen. It has two options to hold paper: one that you can just stick in and the other to clip on multiple documents." —Elee the Lawyer
Get it from Amazon for $11.29.
26. Latex-free, reusable toe covers here to solve the lifelong problem of bandages and other covers never staying on your toes. These will keep you comfy no matter what blisters, corns, ingrown toenails, and calluses have to say about it.
They've got over 1,500 positive reviews!
Promising review: "I cannot live without these for 12-hour hospital shifts. This is an unbelievable product! I work 12-hour shifts in the hospital and need protection for the corn on my left big toe. I purchased the size large and it fit well. Underneath my socks and athletic shoes I completely forgot I was wearing it — bonus! The silicone is very soft and flexible and cleans easily. The product is priced well for the quality and quantity that is provided. Would absolutely recommend this since it's held up quite well for the 17 hours I often have it on (from the time I wake up until I'm back from my shift). Cleans and dries easily and has maintained its shape." —LJ
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two sizes and two colors).
27. 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.
It comes with five microfiber sleeves!
Promising review: "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years, and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." —marionvgt
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
28. A special "bib" for your splashy faucet, because *everyone* drips water at least a bit when they wash their hands or dishes — you're not doing it wrong. Especially if you live in an NYC apartment with a very strange water pressure-to-sink-basin ratio like I do.
It's from an Oregon-based small business, and you can also message the seller for a custom design.
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care. Highly recommended!" —Alina
Get it from HustleSewShop on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
29. 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

30. A collapsible travel toothbrush, because I can't be the only one who hates those little travel covers for regular toothbrushes, how gross they get, and how easy they are to lose. ~Tooth~ is, this is a *much* smarter solution.
Promising review: "I do a bit of traveling and never had a good answer to the toothbrush until I found this one. It is compact, yet has a good handle to hold. The bristles fold into the handle which keeps them shaped, no random toiletry kit gunk gets in them, and the medium stiffness holds true for a good while. All in all a good product. This is my second purchase." —Amazon Customer

31. A helpful as heck moisture meter if you need some assistance actually keeping your plants alive. You just pop this in the (indoor or outdoor) soil to determine whether it's time to water your leafy pals, for yet another tool in your "I won't kill it this time!!!" arsenal.
Promising review: "Who knew that one needs an accurate way to measure soil moisture levels? I saw a gardening expert using one of these, and it clicked. Earlier this summer I asked a friend why so many plants die so easily, and she said the number one problem is over-watering. Well, no more. I've only had this for a month, but my plants are looking perky and happy. So far this appears to be accurate, and I now feel more confident investing in more houseplants. Very easy to use, and no special care required." —empower7

32. A ridiculously durable weatherproof notebook that you can use anywhere. It's got the ~write~ stuff to withstand the elements and the wear-and-tear that would send your other everyday carry items running for cover.
Promising review: "I work on a farm and my memory is horrible. I've tried all kinds of pocket notebooks to help me keep track of what I need to do, but they kept getting ruined. I always keep it in my back pocket, so other notebooks would get all smushed, pages would tear out, and they'd get all sweaty. This is perfect for what I needed and I intend to buy more as needed. I thought it would feel kind of like dry-erase but it doesn't. You can use pen or pencil on it, and it looks/feels exactly like any other paper. The binding and cover have stood up to me sitting on it every day and it has survived my sweat, sitting in puddles, and leaving it out in the rain." —atkinsak
Get it from Amazon for $5.39+ (available in two colors).
33. Wad-Free, a brilliant, reusable 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

34. A Billie razor starter kit, aka the cult-fave shaving set that BuzzFeed Shopping editors talk about more than pretty much any other product (and we talk about a lot of products). The kit includes a razor, a magnetic holder, and two blades for $10. It's a practical, use-every-day purchase that'll still feel like a treat.
You can also subscribe to get refill packs whenever you need!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma McAnaw has to say about Billie: "I have VERY sensitive skin. As in, I so much as LOOK at a dull blade and suddenly I'm on a one-way trip to little red bumps. Until Billie, I had kind of just accepted that my bikini line was never going to be ~perfectly smooth~ no matter what. And yet! When I started shaving with these razors, I immediately noticed how comfortable the whole experience was. I'll be honest and say I rarely use shaving cream (very responsible for someone with sensitive skin!) and it doesn't even MATTER. The blades never nick me and I've actually seen fewer and fewer bumps, even in my ~most sensitive~ areas. I credit its charcoal shave soap that encases the five (!!!) blades so if you 'forget' cream, you'll still get super smooth results. I'm pretty confident in saying if a total klutz like me has yet to do damage with these bbs, then everyone can benefit from these."

35. A magnetic laundry cheat sheet set you can pop right on your washing machine to help you decode those mysterious laundry instruction symbols on clothing tags, figure out how to get stains out, and remember to clean your lint trap.

The reviewer comparison above is what two bananas — one kept in the bag and one not — looked like after four or five days!
Promising review: "I am a big warehouse shopper and in the past often couldn’t eat all those berries or all that lettuce before they went bad. So I followed the directions and made sure the produce was dry (lettuce, spinach, asparagus, and blueberries). For the lettuce and asparagus, saw a little condensation in the bag, so put a paper towel in the bag where moisture was accumulating. Two weeks later, the berries were almost as fresh as day one. Lettuce was still crisp and crunchy and only a few pieces of spinach were starting to wilt. Asparagus were crisp as well. I would definitely recommend and will continue to try with other fruits and vegetables." —BAS

37. Fizzy and fresh-scented toilet tablets you just let oh-so-satisfyingly dissolve in your bowl for 10 minutes, then brush the latrine clean. Not only will they reduce required scrubbing, but they're a natural alternative to the cleaner you currently use!
They're from a Black woman-owned small biz founded by a mom committed to finding natural alternatives to common household items.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says: "For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (although that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup."
Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents).
38. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet that's so simple yet game-changing, because apparently shouting "HEY ARE THESE DISHES CLEAN OR DIRTY" is a common refrain in other people's homes, too.
You realizing all these great finds fit in your budget:
