We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A roll-out fridge caddy that’ll keep your refrigerator organized and everything in it accessible. Have you ever lost track of something in there and failed to unearth it until long past its… uh…edible lifespan? Well, no more! This caddy will corral all your groceries and negate the need to rummage around in the back for forgotten items.
2. A set of highlighters with clear tips, so you’ll always be able to keep your marker lined up with the text you’re highlighting. This set of six colorful pens from Sharpie features smudge-resistant ink, too — no more ending up with a multi-colored hand from smeary highlighters.
3. A tongue-cleaning brush, because you do not need any unwanted, bad breath-causing bacteria taking up residence inside your mouth, thank you very much. This unusual but useful little tool has a scraper on one end, along with the actual brush — which, fun fact, uses the same kind of bristle that surgical scrub brushes do — to help you keep your pie-hole fresh.
4. A set of striped kitchen towels that tick both the “effective” and “pretty” boxes. Made of soft, 100% cotton terry, they’re excellent at their actual job — drying dishes — but they also come in such lovely shades that they do double duty as kitchen décor. And hey, there’s no such thing as having too many dish towels, right?
5. A bottle of highly effective carpet stain remover from Bissell, because it’s a must for pet owners — or anyone who’s just, uh…a little clumsy. As someone who is both (hi there, fellow pet-owning klutzes!), I always, always keep a bottle or two of this stuff around. It works equally well on cat messes and coffee spills, and it gets the job done in literal seconds.
6. A solid odor neutralizer in a handy jar, so you can easily and discretely eliminate any unwanted scents that might be plaguing your bathroom, or your closet, or your car, or…well, you get the idea. Just open the jar when you need it, and close it up when you don’t.
7. A few bra extenders that’ll make your too-tight bands actually fit. This pack includes three of the little doohickeys. All you need to do is attach them to the hook end of your bra, and voilà! Extra breathing room — literally.
8. A reusable coffee pod for your Keurig, so you can brew any coffee you want — not just the ones that already come in K-cup form. Compatible with 1.0 and 2.0 Keurig models, this little pod can be filled with any ground coffee you like. It’s also dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
9. A stick of blister-preventing, anti-friction balm to save your feet from a fate worse than...well, maybe not death, but certainly extreme discomfort. Whether your sandal straps chafe or your sneakers rub uncomfortably against a bunion or two, an application of this little twist-up stick might help ease your pain.
10. A pair of comfy, mid-rise leggings, because you can never have too many pairs. Made of stretchy, moisture-wicking material and equipped with a hidden pocket (!!!), these affordable picks are perfect for both workouts and lounge-around-the-house days — and since they come in practically every color of the rainbow, you’ll never get bored of ‘em.
11. A two-pack of Burt’s Bees moisturizing lip balm that’ll keep your flaky, dry lips hydrated all winter (or year) long. This is actually my lip balm of choice these days. I buy ‘em a couple of tubes at a time (my favorite is the Coconut-Pear variety) and stash them all over my house. No more chapped lips!
12. A flat-plug extension cord, because you shouldn’t have to choose between being able to access your outlets and having your furniture sit flush against the wall. This 10-foot long pick features three grounded plug spots at the other end, doing the work of expanding the number of things you can plug into one outlet, too.
13. A six-pack of Super Sticky Post-it notes that'll stay put, no matter where you stick 'em. We've all been there: You write something important down on a sticky note and slap it somewhere you think you're guaranteed to see it, only to have it detach in about five minutes and drift underneath a piece of furniture, never to be seen again. Not so with the Super Stick variety! The extra-powerful, plant-based adhesive on these suckers keeps them right where you put them. Problem solved.
14. A big ol’ bag of baking soda, because this stuff is a true miracle worker. Smelly cat box? Add a sprinkle of baking soda to the litter. Grubby-looking stainless steel? Scrub it with baking soda. Stinky fridge? Pop some baking soda in there. Anywhere you need some scouring power or some serious odor fighting, baking soda is there for you. Thanks, baking soda.
15. A relaxing sheet mask that’ll help your stressed-out face rediscover its ~chill.~ Good for all skin types, this soothing pick from Avatara relies on gingko, aloe, jojoba, and hyaluronic acid to calm and deeply moisturize irritated, dry, or frazzled skin.
16. A foldable fabric storage cube or two, because these things never stop being useful. Whether tucked away in closets or left out as aesthetically appealing open storage, they can be used to hold just about anything, from books or toys, to linens or laundry supplies.
17. A tub of multifunctional cleansing paste that’ll get just about anything sparkling — even the things you didn’t think you actually had to clean. Use it on pots and pans! Tackle soap scum in your bathroom with it! Get those water stains off of your stainless-steel appliance with it! Clean your sink (because yep, your sink needs a regular scrub, too) with it! Reviewers say there’s almost nothing it can’t clean — and the difference between the before-and-after is often visibly noticeable.
18. A pack of cabinet and drawer bumpers, so you can finally dampen even the worst racket. If you’ve ever lived with roommates, you’re probably familiar with the dreaded late-night or early-morning kitchen noises. If you stick these on the insides of your cabinet doors or drawers, though, the slamming sounds — either intentional or not — will become a thing of the past. Bonus: They also keep your doors and drawers from sticking.
19. A bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Castile liquid soap, because there's a reason this stuff is a cult favorite. Personally, I am a big fan of using it to clean my makeup brushes, but it's endlessly versatile. It also comes in a ton of different varieties — lavender! Almond! Citrus! Peppermint! And more! — but this particular version is unscented, making it perfect for those who are sensitive to fragrance or other add-ins.
20. A box of garbage disposal cleaner pods that’ll help you get the stink outta your sink. Dropping one of these little things down your garbage disposal will clear out whatever gross junk might be lurking down there in just a few minutes, leaving a fresh lemon scent behind. Aaaaaahhh. Much better.
21. A boot tray to protect your floors from the worst the winter has to throw at you. Snow? No problem. Mud? Handled. Salt? Buh-bye. This functional rectangular tray holds three to four pairs of adult-size shoes or three pairs of more substantial boots. Stick it by your door and you’ll never have to worry about tracking winter grossness inside again.
22. A Brita water bottle with a filter right inside, so you'll always have great-tasting drinking water — no matter where you are. Bonus: The lid of this 26-ounce bottle has a straw built into it, too. Staying hydrated has never been easier.
23. A mini Baby Yoda Bluetooth speaker, because everybody could use a little more Grogu in their lives. This teeny-tiny speaker packs big sound and you can even connect two together to make your own surround-sound system. Also, it is so. Stinkin’. Cute!
24. A pack of 30 anti-fog glasses cleaner wipes that’ll make sure your vision always stays clear — literally. Fogged-up glasses can be a problem even at the best of times, but it’s especially prevalent in these days of vigilant mask-wearing (source: me, it’s me — my glasses are constantly fogging up from a combination of the weather and my mask). A quick wipe with one of these little cleaners, however, will not only remove fingerprints and other smudges, but also bestow upon your spectacles some anti-fog prevention. Clouds, begone!
25. A bottle of clear Gorilla Glue, so you can glue your life back together in every sense of the word. Gorilla Glue is the only adhesive I’ve ever found that actually stays once you’ve applied it. I even managed to glue the broken-off handle of a favorite mug back on — something I’ve never seen other kinds of super glues do. Household staple? Yep.
26. A silicone baking mat that will make sure nothing sticks to your cookie sheet again. Ever. Seriously — if you do a lot of baking and you haven’t gotten yourself one of these yet, do yourself a favor and grab one (or two). All your oh-no-my-cookies-are-literally-glued-to-the-pan disasters will immediately become but a memory.
27. A kitchen conversions wall sign, so you’ll never have to try to Google how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon with flour-covered hands again. This pick from Target’s Heart and Hand with Magnolia line is also super cute, so it doubles as adorable décor. Everybody wins!
28. A pair of soft ball-of-foot cushions for your shoes that’ll finally make staying on your feet all day bearable. These self-adhesive clear gel insoles stick right into your shoes to keep your feet from sliding forward and to provide some extra padding for tired toes.
29. A pair of super effective yet surprisingly affordable wireless earbuds, because good tech accessories actually don’t need to cost a proverbial arm and a leg. These lil' guys deliver excellent sound quality and hold a charge for hours. And for this price, you can get a backup pair for when you (dare I say, inevitably?) lose the first.
30. A pair of microfiber scrunchies that’ll help your wet hair dry in record time. Reviewers say they’re particularly great if you shower at night. Just put your hair up in one of these before you go to bed, and you’ll be able to sleep without ending up with a water-soaked pillow.
31. And a stainless steel, insulated coffee mug, so your java will stay warm to the very last drop. This 13-ounce pick holds heat for an hour and a half — and it doubles as a cold cup, too, keeping drinks icy for up to six hours.
