1. An incredible purse-cleaning sticky ball, because if you're anything like me, the price of being prepared with anything you could possibly need in your bag = a lot of dust, pretzel crumbs, hair, and bits of chipped nail polish (from rummaging) floating around at the bottom of your precious purse. 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).
2. 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).
3. 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 2,000 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

4. Game-changing ceiling fan pulls, because apparently I'm not the only one who cannot for the life of me remember which cord controls the light and which controls the fan. Honestly, why don't they make all ceiling fans with these?!?
Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek...now you're in the dark). They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor (when you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?). As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD
Get them from Amazon for $6.59+ (available in two lengths and two colors).
5. The Drop Stop, a car seat gap filler for anyone who has ever lost a pair of keys, a phone, or a french fry in the depths of their vehicle. This simple product is sure to make you wonder, why don't all cars just come with these!?!
Promising review: "The gap between the seat and center console in our car is big enough to lose french fries and debit cards in, but not big enough to fit my adult hand when I try to retrieve anything. Now, with the Drop Stop, I don't have to worry about it anymore. It's great when it keeps things from going into the Gap of No Return. Once, I was in the car by myself and I literally said out loud, 'Thank you, Drop Stop,' like I was in an infomercial." —Rhett A Lahey
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
6. A special jewelry clasp here to make getting the effortlessly chic look of layered necklaces actually, well, effortless. You'll be able to layer chains without tangles or hassle *and* keep your favorite combo together.
The two sides of the clasp come apart and fasten together (but not by a lobster clasp, because who has time for that?!?), and each side hooks to one end of the necklaces. If there's a set of necklaces you always like to rock together, this is especially great because you can keep them all together and put them all on at once! This genius creation is from a small, San Diego-based jewelry business.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Suazo writes, "I recently bought a couple of these and had one of those very real WHY DIDN'T I BUY ONE OF THESE SOONER moments. They do an amazing job at keeping your necklaces from tangling as you wear them, and I love that I can layer several of my favorites at once. I am forever sold on these."
Get it from TheresaRose on Etsy for $13.49+ (available in two colors and for two, three, or four strands).
7. A magical purple toning shampoo that works on all hair types and eliminates yellow or brassy tones in your hair, so you won't have to go to the salon for touch-ups nearly as often. BTW, 6,000+ reviewers say it's to ~dye~ for.
It's also very strong, so several reviewers recommend mixing it with your usual shampoo!
Promising review: "Wowza! I'm not one to leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Holy cow! I was going to go into the salon to brighten my hair up, but after discovering this product I cancelled my appointment. I'm totally in love! This shampoo is not drying at all and just after two washes I achieved my desired results! I can't recommend it enough! Photo from right to left: Before using, one wash, two washes. Love, love, LOVE!! 😍" —Rachael
Get it from Amazon for $9.
8. 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 lifesavers 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
Get a pack of over 100 stickers from Amazon for $4.89.
9. An incredibly helpful blind spot mirror that'll basically make said blind spot nonexistent, help you be a better, safer driver, and *seriously* step up your parallel parking game. No more avoiding those tricky parking spots!
It comes with an optional adjustable swivel base!
Promising review: "I got this on a whim that it would improve my driving experience, and it has significantly. I did not attach the swivel base as others had mentioned in these reviews, and my experience has been great. Lets you see your blind spot pretty well. Where it really shines is parking and backing up; it gives a ton more visibility." —Stork
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.97 (available in four shapes).
10. Beyond handy grocery bag handles made 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 and can even hold the bags together in the back of the car so they don't spill.
Reviewers note they can also be used with reusable bags, not just plastic, as long as the handle straps aren't too long!
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
Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.95.
11. 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.
12. A simply brilliant bracelet fastening tool, because you are correct — lobster claw bracelets are just unnecessarily impossible to fasten. This allows you to hold one end of your bauble steady instead of trying to contort your hands into unnatural positions just to put on your jewelry.
Promising review: "I can't believe I waited this long to buy one of these. My eyesight is failing, including my depth perception, so wearing bracelets has been difficult unless they're slip-on. This jewelry helper is easy to use. Now I can wear bracelets again." —Cat Mom
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two colors).
13. An absolutely inspired car dipping sauce holder to finally address the fact that center consoles were not made for ketchup. You'll pity your fellow fast food patrons who are still spilling ranch all over their seats.
It's designed to be able to hold different sizes of sauce containers depending on whether you position them horizontally or vertically, and it even comes with a removable tray you can squeeze sauce packets into.
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
Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.90 (available in four colors).
14. The ToiletShroom, a flexible unclogging tool for anyone who has ever been in a ~situation~ where a regular plunger was just not going to cut it, or who has ever been disgusted by the splashy mess plunging can result in. There is a better way — poo knew?
This slim plunger can reach way deeper into your toilet to take on stubborn clogs. You can even use it like a squeegee along the sides of the bowl in place of a toilet brush. Plus, it comes with a sleek and discreet caddy!
Promising review: "Honestly I didn't think this was going to work, BUT I am so glad I was wrong! I love how easy it is to use and most of all, how QUICKLY it unclogs my toilet!!! I just shove it down the toilet hole, use the motion of pushing it in and out a couple of times, take it out completely, and the toilet drains with ease! I'm not using all my strength to unclog toilets anymore, and no worries about nasty toilet water splashing everywhere, and it cleans super easily....BEST THING I EVER BOUGHT ON THE INTERNET!!!" —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $17.28.
15. Wad-Free, an ingenious 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 the dreaded 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: "This product has changed my world! Washing and drying my sheets is a breeze! The sheets are not bundled up in the washer, and they also dry quickly with no wrinkles! Do yourself a huge favor and try Wad-Free! You will not regret it! Thank you, Wad-Free, for making this chore simple and making washing my sheets a fun, easy breezy experience! I love them!!! I purchased a backup pair too. Blessings!" —just cruisin'!
Get a set of two from Amazon for $18.99.
16. A bitter-tasting nail polish that'll help you kick even the most stubborn (and germy) nail-biting habit. Wait, you mean I might actually let my nails get long enough to file for the first time in my life? Am I dreaming?
Over 6,000 reviewers swear by it!
Promising review: "I'm 30 years old and I have bitten my nails for as long as I can remember. And I'm not talking about a little nibble here and there, I'm talking about biting them until they were bleeding or it was too painful to continue, then I would move onto the next finger. When I was out of fingers I would move on to my cuticles. I had tried everything imaginable to stop the habit. I would never last more than a couple days without starting up again. I figured if anything had a chance at working it would be this product. This product is advertised as having a bad taste to curb your desire to bit your nails, so I painted it onto a finger, let it dry for a couple minutes, and then took a lick. At first didn't taste like anything, but then the taste hit me! It's one of the worst tastes I have ever come across and it lingered for a good five minutes or more! I'm not saying I'm cured yet, but I went from being a highly addicted nail biter to having not bitten my nails or cuticles in the past two weeks. I have almost zero urge to do so. Both my nails and cuticles are growing out and have actually required trimming and shaping. Now I catch myself lifting a finger to my mouth and thinking, 'if I bite that nail I'm going to taste that nasty stuff,' and I quickly put my hand back down!" —ChrisB.
Get it from Amazon for $16.75.
17. 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+ (available in four colors).
18. 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.
19. Salicylic acid wart-removing adhesive bandages for anyone who's tried everything to get rid of a stubborn wart. These miracle workers are discreet enough to look like they're just covering up a paper cut or scratch, but will *finally* give you some relief.
Promising review: "More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing, I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, and freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls and so, so embarrassed. It felt like I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it and on a whim tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later the wart just came off. I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart but I’m telling you I nearly cried. I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got a stubborn plantar wart." —Liz Dube
Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $6.96 (or $6.61 with the Subscribe & Save option).
20. Squishface Wrinkle Paste, an anti-itch, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal cream made for cleaning the cute faces (and tail pockets) of the wrinkliest doggos around. I can't be the only one who didn't know there was a solution for this common pet problem!
Promising review: "If I could give a higher review I would. I spent over $1,000 at the vet, between medicine and bloodwork, and nothing worked. I used baby powder and tried ointments and nothing worked. My dog would always rub everything off on the carpet or walls. He is an English Bulldog and has had problems with the fold between his nose and eyes. He’s 10 years old and I just couldn’t find a solution for the past two years and have felt terrible. He has had raw skin that has been bleeding and had pus in his folds. I’ve cleaned the folds every day for two years. Day one with the product the pus and bleeding was gone. We’re at a week now and completely healed. Looks like he never had a problem." —paul blanchard jr
Get it from Amazon for $20.67 (or $18.60 with the Subscribe & Save option).
21. A genius device that sticks right on your (or your kid's or pet's) pill bottle so you never have to doubt whether you took your medicine or not. Plus, they're reusable, so you can peel 'em off and stick them on new bottles when you get refills!
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I’ve tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." —Niki
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99.
22. 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. And apparently it's not inevitable!
Promising review: "My husband turns a lot in his sleep and has always woken up with the fitted sheet halfway off his side of the bed. We bought these and we have NEVER once had to adjust the sheet in the morning! These are amazing! They're the kind of thing you'll never know how you lived without before." —LinseyB
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.95 (available in three colors).
23. 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 when 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.
24. DressWeights, heroic little weights that adhere to your hem to prevent a Marilyn Monroe moment. Because every day should have the potential be a dress day, even when it's windy as heck.
The adhesive is strong but removable, so they can be used multiple times (the manufacturer estimates about six times each when stored properly)! These clever babies are from an NY-based, woman- and family-run small business.
Promising review: "These are, hands down, a complete lifesaver. I recently attended a multi-day 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 DressStrong on Etsy for $15 or from DressWeights for $15.
25. A Flip It! bottle emptying kit, which'll convert any pesky pump bottle that's (seemingly) impossible to get the last few drops out of into an easily squeezable container you can store upside down without leaks. Whether it's ketchup or lotion, you'll never waste another ~flipping~ drop of product again.
It comes with two stands/caps and six adapters to fit any size bottle. Just make sure it's a bottle that can actually be squeezed, since it won't work with totally solid bottles.
Promising review: "Life-altering. I will never fight with a pump bottle again. As soon as it gets difficult to pump anything out of any bottle, I will waste no time in 'flipping it.' I'm so glad someone created this. Upside-down bottles are such a small annoyance in life, but this simple solution really means a lot. 100% worth the price." —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of two stands and six adapters from Amazon for $16.
26. A super convenient magnetic wristband strong enough to hold up to one pound (!!!) of tools you want to have close at hand, so it'll be like you have an assistant right there with you. This is like a double whammy of DIY: you can fix the problem of not being able to reach everything yourself *while* you fix other things around the house yourself.
Read BuzzFeed's full MagnoGrip write-up.
Promising review: "Husband uses this a lot now. Before he was constantly dropping his nails and screws from the top of his ladder. He would also lose the nails and screws when removing them from items. Now all he has to do is take a few at a time and place them on the band. Being hands-free when having to do projects is a gift in itself. Band is durable and you can wipe it off if need be or rinse it with the hose outside." —Kayla D. Wood
Get it from Amazon for $13.80+ (available in two colors).
27. A LOLworthy yet effective Schitt spray, because ew, David, I bet you thought stinking up the bathroom was just an inevitable part of life. Nope — just spritz this oil blend onto the toilet before you go to mask whatever damage you're about to do. Especially if you're Roland using the loo in the Rose's motel room.
It's from a Boston-based small business!
Promising review: "Love this spray!!! It works great and the scent is lovely. The small travel size is perfect for my purse!" —Nancy
Get a full-size bottle and a travel size from SEssentialsBoutique on Etsy for $20, or get a pack of three travel-size sprays for $15.
28. Ingenious can protector lids that'll banish all your soda- and seltzer-drinking struggles. Not only will these miraculously keep your half-consumed cans carbonated and fresh, but you can also pop the top down between sips to prevent leaks and spills!
Promising review: "Where have you been all my life? These lids are wonderful. I'm no longer throwing away a partial can of soda. They really secure on the can, and with the lift-up lid you don't even have to take them off the can to pour the contents. The remaining contents stay like the can was never opened." —Joseph L. Showaker
Get a six-pack from from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two colors and six quantity options).
29. A clever cap washing cage, so you'll be able to pop baseball caps in the top rack of your dishwasher or top-loading washing machine to get them looking like new. Someone out there must struggle to clean their precious cap collection as much as you do, so ~hat's off~ to whoever invented this.
Promising review: "I bought these as a gift for my brother-in-law. I was worried at first and suggested that he wash a hat that he doesn’t mind ruining just in case. He had about $300 worth of hats that were 'ruined' due to the wet weather causing mold on his hats. He washed one and was pleasantly surprised! He was able to make his hats good as new again! He has a regular top-loading spinning washer and it didn’t bend his hats. Great gift idea for the hat lover in your life!" —Alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $12.88.
30. An oh-so-helpful adjustable plastic bag holder for those moments when you feel like you'd need one or two additional limbs to stop meal prep from being such a mess. We've all been there — so why have we lived without these for so long?
Promising review: "I prep my meals a month at a time and these make it much more convenient. These are especially helpful with raw meat, as I can use two hands while prepping the food and don't have to worry about keeping one clean to open the bag. I've also used them to portion out servings and ounces of meat when placed on a scale. They're not made of anything incredibly strong, but they're sturdy enough for full Ziploc bags of food." —Julie M
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99.
31. A convinient corn on the cob-buttering knife sure to make you wonder why you've ever let the joyous experience of corn on the cob be ruined by messy fingers, unevenly seasoned corn, and inferior butter knives. See, I'm not a messy eater!!! Corn is just impossible!!!
You can use the cool shape of the knife to slice off the end of a stick of butter or scoop some out of a tub. Plus, it's top-rack dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "How did I ever get along without this?!? And why have I never seen anything similar before? It just makes so much sense to have a spreader that conforms to the curve of corn. Makes buttering corn on the cob a snap — like half the time than with a regular butter knife. Which is amazing when making a big batch of corn on the cob at once. Sure, it's a little pricey for a single-use gadget, but I really love it. We eat a lot of corn during the summer and I have enjoyed using this spreader. A+ for originality and function." —MaryPies
32. Specially designed hoodie hangers to assist those of you who developed quite the hoodie collection during stay at home times (or before) and struggle to keep them organized but still easily accessible in your closet.
They're from a Kansas-based small business. They come with a clip attachment that's removable, so you can use it to secure the hanger on smaller rods or take it off and just hang it like a normal hanger!
Promising review: "We are a hoodie household. I think everyone in this house has at least six or seven hoodies! And prime hoodie hanging spots get overloaded regularly. These hooks are a fantastic solution to our problem." —divamiki
Get a set of five from VenalliBuilds on Etsy for $20 (available in five colors).
33. A hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-mold, and anti-yeast panty wash formulated by an actual gynecologist — so yes, she really *does* understand the problem you've had your whole vagina-having life and haven't wanted to talk about. It'll be delicate on your delicates but tough on all the gunk (yes, I am talking about discharge) you need to wash out of them.
This Black-woman owned brand is the genius creation of Philly-based OB/GYN Dr. Tosha Rogers, and it's good for bras too!
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this product! I have used it 3x since I received it on both my bras and panties. This cleansing product has my intimate apparel cleaner than any store-bought detergent and they smell so clean! There was no fading with the colors either! I am super impressed and have recommend this product to all my girls! I even (reluctantly) let my daughter use it for her items. We both suffer from recurring bacterial issues so this wash is a blessing!" —Latisha J.
