1. The Cat Dancer, a super-simple wire toy that every cat and owner alike will become paws-itively obsessed with. It's the $2 way to get your cat to perform the most hilarious antics of their nine lives, so I suggest having a camera ready.
2. A pretty polka dot dress with roomy pockets that's practically perfect — the only way it could get better is if you added ankle booties.
3. A Revlon oil-absorbing facial roller to get your lovely face looking marvelously matte in no time. Why have you been burning through all those blotting papers when this wonderful reusable option exists???
4. Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner, a beeswax and orange oil formula that's basically like a spa treatment for your wood surfaces. In addition to polishing, it adds a protective layer and helps prevent the wood from drying out or fading, so it's time to cue a rom-com makeover montage for your cabinet doors.
5. A gluten- and cruelty-free mascara that reviewers say actually stays the heck on, even through long days and sweat. As if that wasn't amazing enough, it's Only. Five. Dollars.
6. Wet & Forget shower spray, which'll revolutionize the way you clean your bathroom. 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 $16.89.
7. A ridiculously handy roll-up silicone water bottle, since we all need to hydrate but don't always have much room in our bags or pockets for a bottle. This'll be a game changer.
8. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet for anyone who's completely lost patience with shouting, "HEY, ARE THESE DISHES CLEAN OR DIRTY?" across the house every day.
9. 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.
10. An OMG-worthy pet bed if you want to make watching your fur baby sleep even more entertaining than it already is. This cozy cuddle spot will make them look silly but still be a-peel-ing to both of you.
11. A sheet of peel-and-stick marble-effect paper to customize pretty much any of the surfaces in your home — from floors to countertops to drab pieces of decor — and make them look like they belong in a million-dollar listing.
It can easily be removed and restuck if you don't get it perfect on the first try (I feel you)!
Promising review: "So Pinteresting! I used this adhesive film to turn two cheap Ikea tables into less cheap-looking Ikea tables because I'm not made of money but I would like others to believe I am. Super simple to use and a ton of it for the price; I was really pleased overall. The pattern actually looks like marble, not a weird pixely repetitive pattern, so that's great as well." —Spencer House
Get a 17-inch x 78-inch roll from Amazon for $12.21.
12. A cruelty-free nail polish remover that works on pretty much all polish types and will put every other remover you've tried to shame (take it from me).
13. A roll-on headache and migraine relief stick, which I haven't stopped talking about it since I first tried it and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. There may or may not be some on my forehead right now.
14. CND SolarOil, a low-key miraculous oil here to banish brittle nails and dry cuticles for good. Nailed it!
15. A tiny dinosaur beginner crochet kit that's so cute, I'm not sure it's even allowed. You need a new hobby (and that FACE) in your life ASAP.
This Asian-owned small business specializes in squee-worthy amigurumi (the Japanese art of making small stuffed animals from yarn) kits and provides tutorials for every step of the process on their site, so even total novices won't feel lost. The kit comes with yarn, stuffing, plastic eyes, an already-started piece of crochet material, a stitch marker, a needle, a PDF pattern download, a carrying bag, and an optional crochet hook if you don't already have one. You can even access extra support over email any time!
Promising review: "Fred was the first thing I ever crocheted. I decided to give Woobles a try after my daughter made several Woobles animals. It was very easy to get started and the videos were very easy to follow. I’m so happy with Fred and plan on making him a tiny birthday hat and gifting him to my 3-year-old for his birthday." —Tiffany Z.
Get it from The Woobles for $25+ (available with or without a crochet hook). Find more animals here.
16. Chic, under-$15 sunglasses with over 3,000 5-star reviews that some folks say are comparable to a certain brand that rhymes with Shmay-Span.
17. The LifeStraw, aka an emergency preparedness tool for anyone who needs water to survive. It's an incredible portable filter that'll let you safely drink from even the ickiest-looking natural water sources. No wonder it's got over 10,000 positive reviews.
18. An ingenious blind cleaner brush that'll make cleaning those hard-to-reach crevices way easier. After all, letting all that dust sit there just because blinds are hard to clean would be downright (window)sill-y.
19. A beyond fuzzy faux fur throw you (and your pets) won't need any time to warm up to — just ask the 3,500+ people who've left 5-star reviews.
20. A go-everywhere cross-body bag with over 5,000 positive reviews that's so affordable I'm straight-up screaming.
21. Glossier Balm Dotcom, a cruelty-free and antioxidant-rich universal skin salve that you can use on your lips or anywhere else for moisture that actually lasts, so it'll put every other balm you've ever tried to shame. Reapplying? I don't know her.
22. Pus-absorbing, pimple-eliminating patches over 3,000 reviewers rely on to zap their zits faster than they ever thought possible.
23. 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?!?
24. A set of sandwich cutting tools that are basically the holy grail if your kids are sandwich-crust-refusing picky eaters. No more PB & J leaking all over their lunch box or time spent tediously trimming off the crusts.
25. An easily portable (and even packable!) handheld steamer to save you trips to the cleaners and keep your favorite shirt looking like the day you bought it. "Hopelessly" wrinkled clothes may not be so hopeless after all.
26. A variety pack of pre-seasoned beans you need only microwave for — get this — ONE minute, so they truly change the nutritious at-home meal prep game for those who are short on time and cooking skills (aka me). They're amazing when you need something filling and yummy but also need to run out the door.
This pack is from Black-owned, San Francisco-based bean brand A Dozen Cousins and comes with black beans, pinto beans, chickpea curry, red beans, refried black beans, and refried pinto beans. They're all vegan and made with avocado oil. I personally swear by their black beans; they're so flavorful and perfectly seasoned and shockingly easy. Plus, one bag has about two small servings for one person, so I could have leftovers the next day. I've been enjoying them with quesadillas and nachos, in homemade burrito bowls, and over rice.
Promising review: "Who writes a review about beans? Somebody who loves beans but had given up on them, until now. This is a great product. Canned beans from my local supermarket are always a disappointment, so I stopped getting them. I don't have time to cook beans myself, but A Dozen Cousins beans are fresh and taste terrific. I've been trying to avoid packaged, processed foods but the natural ingredients make these different. I can feel good about eating them. The beans are whole and not mashed up liked in cans. All of the varieties are seasoned well and versatile. I've had them on their own, in salads, and in wrap sandwiches. Do yourself a favor and order some. You won't regret it." —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $24.99 (or $23.74 with the Subscribe & Save option; available in five flavors).
27. A set of 20 (!!!) glam and super on-trend hair clips (for under $10!!!) to help you break out of your hair rut without doing something drastic, like getting bangs.
Promising review: "They're so beautiful! They're bigger than expected, but that's a good thing! Definitely buy them! They have a good grip; my hair is super straight and they don't slip off." —Yamiley M.
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
28. Briogeo's Scalp Revival Charcoal and Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo, because your dry, flaky scalp is craving the same exfoliating scrub treatment you give your face. Plus, it works so fast it's basically magic.
29. One Line a Day: A Five-Year Memory Book, which'll motivate even the busiest people to take some time to journal at night. Despite the name, it actually has room for several lines per day, so you can keep a record of all the stuff you pack into your days. Plus, once you use it for a full year, you'll be treated to a glance back in time from that day last year every time you go to add a new entry.
Over 2,000 reviewers love it and so do I! Each page is dated and has five small spaces and room to fill in the year for each one, so you can keep a short record every day for five years and compare what you wrote over time. I adore this and it's the first thing that's actually gotten me to journal every day. I usually write more of a blurb than a sentence, but it literally takes me two minutes or less right before bed. I started it about a year and a half ago, so the comparisons of what life was like at the end of 2019/beginning of 2020 to now are...very strange, to say the least!
Get it from Amazon for $12.16 or Bookshop (to support local booksellers) for $15.59.
30. 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.
31. An absolutely iconic 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).
32. A roll-up dish rack you'll want whether you usually do dishes by machine or by hand, because it's so much more than a dish rack. It'll save you a ridiculous amount of counter space, both during cooking and cleanup, since you can use it to dry dishes, thaw meat, and strain veggies, or even as just another place to put cutting boards and dishes during meal prep. And when you're done, you can just roll it up and put it under the sink!
33. A 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. I know you don't want to think about how much fur is probably caked into your carpet, but won't it be nice knowing it's all gone?
34. Peripera Ink Velvet lip tint, a bestselling K-beauty lip stain for a matte effect that makes a statement but is still subtle enough for every day. It just might feel better on than any other liquid lippie you've tried, too.
Promising review: "New holy grail lipstick! I'm not normally one to write reviews, but I'm so pleased with this product that I felt obligated to! I even came back to grab a few more colors because the price point is great! I'm obsessed with matte lipsticks! What I'm not obsessed with is how most matte lipsticks leave your lips dry, cakey, and flaky! NOT THIS ONE. The texture of this product is phenomenal! So lightweight, it barely feels like anything is on my lips when it dries. Substantially more comfortable than typical lipsticks. Instead of intensifying the cracks in my lips, it smoothed right over them. It leaves my lips looking plumped and perfectly matte. A little bit of this product goes a long way so be sure not to apply too much! I've found applying a dab in the center of your lips and using your finger to spread and pat around gives the best effect! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight matte lipstick." —kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in 14 colors).
35. And a screaming goat figure, because if you don't have one of them by now, it's time to fix that and scream your way through life.
Honestly, this is a very, very big mood, especially these days. Just press him and he lets out a shriek! He also comes with a little book of equally delightful goat facts.
Promising review: "This is one of those things you don't know you need in your life until you see it. Yes, it may have been a late night, altered state kind of purchase that surprised me a bit when it showed up, but it's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. For just a few dollars, you too can receive an informational mini-book full of goat facts to awe and impress your friends as well as a miniature screaming goat. If you're a fan of the screaming goat videos on YouTube, this will be right up your alley. It sounds best when set on a hard surface like a table or desk, so the sound can echo. It's just loud enough for coworkers to ask 'did y'all just hear a screaming goat?' Yes. Yes you did, Phil. If you've read this far, it's been decided: you need this. This will be there for you longer than that dumb T-shirt you're considering. This screaming goat will complete you. Better get one for your best friend too, while you're at it." —echobunny
Get it from Amazon for $8.17.
