1. A really good electric toothbrush, because you only get one set of teeth, so it’s worth taking care of them properly. This Sonicare option is geared towards gum health; accordingly, it features a pressure sensor to keep you from brushing too hard, three modes so you can tailor your cleaning precisely to what you need, and even a tracker to let you know when it’s time to replace your brush head.
2. And a Waterpik flosser that’ll make keeping your gums in tip-top shape ridiculously satisfying. This dental hygiene must-have helps you get into the hardest-to-reach crevices of your mouth quickly and easily, blasting any lingering gunk out with the power of water. Gross? A little. Awesome? Absolutely.
3. Or, a toothbrush that, somehow, lets you accomplish both brushing and flossing at the same time. Sorcery? Not quite: There are two layers of bristles at play here — one regular set, and then a set of longer, thinner ones that get deep into your gums for an even better clean. Lest that sounds painful, though, it isn’t at all; even reviewers with sensitive teeth love this thing.
4. A touchless forehead thermometer that’ll give you quick, accurate readings, sans any battling with your kids (or yourself!) to sit still for it. This fancy-schmancy temperature-taker utilizes an infrared sensor to do its job — meaning all you have to do is hold it about an inch away from your forehead, push the button, and bam, done. Fast. Hygienic. And so, so simple.
5. A Tushy bidet attachment, because every home should have at least one toilet with a bidet. (Seriously. I mean it.) This sleek, easily installed pick is totally hydraulic, so if you don’t have an electrical outlet near your toilet, you can still experience the joys of one of these magical bathroom gadgets. Once you do, you’ll never go back.
6. Some insect-repelling wristbands that’ll keep you bite-free without the need to faff about with messy sprays. Infused with geraniol, lemongrass, and citronella oils, these bands make for an easy, wearable way to ward off bugs and bites — and they’re super colorful and fun to wear, too.
7. An outdoor storage box, so you can keep everything from garden tools to outdoor furniture cushions safe, protected, and — key point! — easy to access. This option is waterproof and UV resistant, so it’ll shield all your most important yard and outdoor gear from the worst the weather has to throw at it — and its lid features a hydraulic rod for safe opening and closing. No worries about it shutting suddenly and (ouch) slamming on your fingers!
8. An electric pressure washer that’s a must for folks with outdoor spaces. Deck looking grimy? Hit it with this thing and it’ll look brand new. Resurfacing your patio? Blast out all those weeds growing between the bricks first with your trusty pressure washer. Picnic table covered in mud? Time to break out this guy. Speaking from experience, never underestimate the worth of owning your own power washer, particularly if you're a new homeowner.
9. A set of sleek and space-efficient pill-carrying cases, so you can stay on top of your meds while you're out and about — or just bring along your favorite painkiller or remedy in the event of a surprise headache. Each case in this three-pack has six small compartments and two large ones, so you’ll never be without your medication must-haves. They also fasten shut super securely — and, bonus! They’re pretty, too.
10. A set of corner protectors for your furniture that’ll help guard little noggins (or your own, adult knees and shins) from harm. They take literally a minute to set up and stay put with powerful adhesive; they’re unobtrusive, visually speaking; and — crucially! — they’ve got enough give to cushion bumps and bruises, while also being solid enough to act as shock absorbers. You’ve got enough struggles on your plate as a parent, baby-proofing your house doesn’t have to be one of them.
11. A pair of luxurious, hotel-quality pillows because you deserve to sleep the sleep of the unbothered. Particularly good for back, stomach, and side sleepers who run hot, these cooling, down-alternative pillows are plush, comfy, and — the best part! — machine-washable. (Yes, you do need to wash your pillows every now and again. Just, y’know, FYI.)
12. Or, a pillow so adaptable, it’ll suit literally any sleeper — no matter what position you tend to snooze in, or even how firm or full you like your stuffing level to be. With this unique memory foam option from Coop Home Goods, you can actually add or remove filling based on your ideal pillow fluffiness, so it’ll always be just right. Goldilocks who?
13. And a cooling mattress topper that’ll turn any hard, uncomfortable sleeping situation into a soft and pillowy dream — both literally and figuratively. This down alternative-filled pick isn’t just cushy; it also allows for breathability, so if you tend to sleep hot, it’ll help keep you nice and cool. Don't let your sleep suffer. You deserve the most peaceful of snoozes!
14. AND a set of excellent sheets, because why sleep on scratchy sheets if you don’t have to? This buttery-soft, hotel-quality microfiber set will send you off to the land of Nod in cool, soft comfort — and in tons of pretty colors, at that. Bonus: the sheets are moisture-wicking, quick-dry, anti-wrinkle, and stain-resistant, making them not just comfy, but also easy to care for.
15. A sleek outlet cover that’ll eliminate cord clutter for good. This gadget is essentially an extension cord attached to a plate that sits flush with the wall; plug the plate in to hide your outlet, then plug your actual devices into the three little outlets at the end of the extension cord. You can then tuck everything out of the way, rendering your cords practically invisible. How tidy!
16. A wireless charger with enough space to juice up not one, not two, but three devices at once. (You’ll never regret having more charging spots. Never.) This supremely packable charger unfolds to reveal three charging panels — enough space for your phone, your smartwatch, and maybe a friend’s phone if you’re feeling generous. Sharing is caring!
17. A pack of eight travel compression bags that'll help you eke out every. Last. Inch. Of suitcase space. Stashing your clothes in these bags and then rolling them up gets rid of the air and squishes down the bulk, truly maximizing your packing potential. Plus, since these aren’t the kind of compression bags you need to stick a vacuum into in order to work, they’re usable on the return trip, too.
18. And a packable luggage scale, so you’ll never have to worry about over-packing again. Just hang your suitcase from this digital scale, hold it up off the ground, and wait. In addition to giving you an actual read-out, it’ll also beep if your suitcase is too heavy. And it’s so small that it tucks right into your bag without taking up valuable space better put toward other things.
19. A waterproof pouch, because although you might enjoy taking a quick dip to cool off, your phone, keys, and cards don’t. This neat-o bag seals up completely, so you can keep all your most important things safe anywhere from the beach to Splash Mountain. It’s touchscreen-compatible, too, so you don’t even have to take your phone out of the pouch to snap that pic or answer that text.
20. A LifeStraw, so you can be sure you’ll always have access to fresh drinking water, even if there are no water bubblers to be found. Beloved by backpackers and hikers everywhere, this neat little piece of camping gear filters out a whopping 99.9% of waterborne bacteria and parasites when used to drink water through, and removes microplastics while it’s at it. With proper care and maintenance, it’s good for up to 4,000 liters — about 1,000 gallons — of drinking water.
21. A bottle of “shoe stretch” spray, because no one should have to deal with cramped feet or pinched toes — and with this stuff on hand, you’ll never have that problem again! Spritzing some of this leather conditioner on your favorite pair of slightly-too-tight boots (or loafers, or pumps, or…basically anything else) before you put them on can help the material soften as you walk around, stretching your shoes to fit comfortably instead of ouch-ily. Why suffer for fashion if you don’t have to?
22. Some retainer cleaner tablets that’ll get your Invisalign, night guard, or, y’know, regular ol’ retainer sparkling in no time — and with a minty fresh boost, at that. Just drop one tablet and your dental appliance in some warm water and let the cleaner go to town. Bacteria? Dead. Build-up? Gone. Weird smell? Replaced with a refreshing splash of mint. Your mouth has never had it so good.
23. A disgustingly effective tongue scraper, because you do not need any unwanted, bad-breath-causing bacteria taking up residence inside your mouth, thank you very much. This useful little tool is made of stainless steel, making it rustproof, durable, and — most importantly of all! — comfortable, so you can keep your piehole fresh with minimal fuss and bother.
24. A stackable salad lunchbox from Goodful that’ll make sad desk lunches a thing of the past. This tiered container set lets you store your greens, your other veggies, add-ins, and your dressing separately, allowing you to mix up your lunch right before you eat it for maximum freshness. No more cherry tomatoes sinking to the bottom of your bowl! No more soggy lettuce! No more leaking dressing! Heck yes!
25. And a PackIt freezable snack box that’ll help you keep your hanger at bay, anywhere and at any time. Since this packable snack box is also a cold pack, it’ll let you bring a wider variety of eats with you than just, y’know, trail mix and granola bars — so if you tend to get cranky when your tank is empty, rest assured that you’ll always be able to satisfy your growling tummy with this sucker on hand.
26. A car seat gap filler, so you can finally stop holding mini-funerals for items lost to the yawning void between your car seats every other day — and help your vehicle stay a whole lot cleaner, too. A Shark Tank favorite, this unexpectedly useful little pad fits right in that weird gap between your seat and the center console, it even slides easily over seat belt buckles (safety first!). Voila! No more empty space waiting to eat up your phone, a dropped French fry, your wallet…you get the idea.
27. A can of First Alert fire spray, because it’s always worth having something like this around. Even if you’ve already got your full-on fire extinguisher needs covered (you do have them covered, right?), this handy little option is a great addition to your fire safety arsenal; perfect for smaller paper, fabric, wood, grease, or electrical fires, the 18-ounce canister is both easy to use and easy to store. Stash one in your kitchen cabinet and you’ll be ready for anything.
28. A stain-removing grout pen, so you can make cleaning your floors as simple as doodling in the margins of your favorite notebook. Okay, to be fair, using this pen effectively takes a little elbow grease — but not only does the formula get up to 60 meters of grout shining again, but it's also mold-resistant to offer a bit of protection for the future.
29. A bottle of antibacterial foot and body soap that’ll help soothe a wide variety of itches and ailments. Dry skin? Rashes? Ringworm? Suds up with this peppermint and tea tree oil-fueled soap and rub-a-dub-dub your way to some welcome relief.
30. A set of bra strap clips, because any bra can be a racerback bra if you ~believe~ it can be. Don’t want your straps showing? Here’s an easy solution: just loosen them a little more than you might normally wear them, then clip one of these doohickeys to them. They’ll pull the straps in towards the center of your back juuuuust enough to keep them out of sight. Magic? Not quite, but it may as well be!
31. An OXO drain cover, so you can stop hair clogs in your shower drains before they even start. Because this lil’ guy is dome-shaped, it can cover both flat and pop-up drains — that is, you don’t have to totally remove your existing drain stopper in order to use it. Just drop it on top, and voila — instant hair and debris stoppage. It couldn’t be easier to clean, either!
32. A draft guard for your door that’ll keep winter winds outside where they belong – or your perfectly-regulated, air-conditioned environment inside, depending on the season. The three-layer design on this draft guard provides ample insulation, along with the unexpected bonus of soundproofing. Say yes to love! Say yes to life! Say yes to a comfortable home and a smaller climate control bill!
33. A Wi-Fi extender to help boost the internet signal in your home in ways you wouldn’t believe. No need to suffer weird dead zones scattered throughout your abode; a little gadget like this one will extend and strengthen the Wi-Fi signal so that it reaches *everywhere*. You can even turn it into a hotspot if you plug it into an ethernet jack!
34. Some Bluapple produce freshness extenders, because nothing is worse than coming home from the market with a bunch of beautiful produce, only for it to wither into grossness just a few days later. Stick one of these cute little "apples" into your fridge or crisper drawer with your fresh fruits and veggies right when you put ‘em away and that tragedy will be a thing of the past.
35. A set of four resealable Stasher bags that’ll make sure you always have somewhere safe to store your lunch (or your snacks, or any other munchies you’re saving for later). Unlike your standard plastic zip-top bag, these refrigerator-, freezer-, and microwave-safe silicone bags can be used over and over again; just run ‘em through your dishwasher on the top rack or hand-wash them, and they’re good to go for a whole ‘nother sandwich.
36. A set of food storage containers, because there is no better feeling than opening up your fridge at the end of a long day to discover that you’ve got an excellent meal ready and waiting for you. These containers from Rubbermaid’s Brilliance line keep your food gloriously fresh, thanks to the leak-proof, air-tight lids. They’re microwave-, dishwasher-, and freezer-safe, too, for maximum utility.
37. A hand-operated vegetable chopper that’ll take care of all your slicing and dicing needs for you, so you can get to the fun part of cooking quicker. It comes with four blades — a small dicing blade, a larger chopping blade, and two spiralizers — so all you need to do is fit the device with a blade, sandwich veggies in the middle of it, and bring the top down firmly. It cuts your prep time down to mere seconds, according to reviewers.
38. A Lodge cast iron skillet that'll present you with perfectly seared steak — or excellent crispy bacon, or just-right eggs, or whatever else you feel like whipping up — every. Dang. Time. This 10.25-inch pick comes pre-seasoned, too, so you can get cooking sooner. (And if you’re in the market for something bigger or smaller, it’s available in sizes ranging from 3.5 inches all the way up to 15!)
39. A pair of kitchen shears to take care of everything from opening tricky packaging to trimming meat. What sets these shears apart from the pack is the fact that the blades have tiny little micro-serrations — meaning they’ll cut cleanly every time, and stay sharp as the years go by. Plus, they’re from KitchenAid, so you know the quality is going to be top-notch.
40. A truly excellent, carbon steel kitchen knife set, so you’ll always have the right tool on hand to get the job done — whether you’re filleting a delicate piece of fish or slicing up some crudités. This all-in-one set kits your cook space out with everything you could possibly need to live your best Carmy-inspired life. It even comes with a super cool acrylic knife block to display it all!
41. A good ol’ fashioned sheet pan, because if baking is your favorite way to handle stress (*raises hand*), you’re gonna need a couple of these culinary workhorses in your kitchen. Made of aluminized steel, these non-stick, half-sheet-sized pans heat and cook evenly, making them the perfect receptacle for everything from cookies to roasted veggies. Forget your old name. You are Mrs. Fields now — the latest in a long and illustrious line of Mrs. Fieldses. Congratulations. We expect great things from you.
42. And some silicone baking mats, because if you don’t already have a couple of these in your baking cupboard, you’re missing out. Not only will they prevent your cookies from sticking — which is a disaster for both your bakeware and lovers of sweets and treats everywhere — they will also keep your sheet pans mess-free in the process.
43. A Baseboard Buddy cleaning tool that’ll make quick work of the most neglected area of your home. I know, I know – who has time to clean their baseboards? Well, with this Swiffer-like tool, you do. Reviewers say it can do an entire floor’s worth of cleaning in roughly 15 minutes. It can even handle oddly shaped molding, thanks to its contoured cleaning head.
44. A bottle of Better Life Natural Tub and Tile Cleaner to dissolve everything from soap scum to hard water stains from your bathroom with a little help from the power of plants. Good for brightening up tubs, sinks, grout, and more, this cleaner also leaves a delightfully refreshing eucalyptus and tea tree scent behind.
45. An instant carpet spot remover that reviewers say makes even the worst messes vanish right before your very eyes. Coffee? Red wine? Pet-induced yuckiness? Something...else? Dab some of this stuff on it, give it a quick little scrub, and blot it. Voilà! And for my next trick...
46. A pack of Magic Cleaning Pads, because life is messy, but cleanup doesn’t have to be. Good on everything from marble and stainless steel to walls and even leather (they’re terrific on shoes, according to a number of reviewers!), these melamine sponges truly live up to their name. No matter the mess — or where that mess is located within your home — just grab one of these, wet it, squeeze it out, and get scrubbing. Bam. Gone. Like it says on the package: Magic!
47. A pack of Bottle Bright bottle-cleaning tablets, because you deserve to drink your favorite beverages out of only the freshest of containers. Dropping these tablets into any water bottle or travel mug with some warm water will fizz away any residue inside. No more stale coffee smell or taste for you!
48. A pumice stone toilet bowl scrubber that'll tackle even the toughest rings of grossness. Is this pretty much just a pumice stone on a stick? Yes. Is it still genius? You bet it is.
49. Some heavy-duty hard water stain remover to help clear up your cloudy shower door once and for all. When I say “heavy-duty,” by the way, I mean it — this stuff is commercial grade because sometimes, the standard home-use stuff just won’t cut it. It’s good for tile and grout, too!
50. A CurveCorrect ingrown toenail corrector kit, so you can get a head start on sorting out your painful ingrown toenail situation from the comfort of your own home. The unique braces in this kit can help adjust the curve of the nail itself — no surgery necessary.
51. A hairbrush cleaning tool, so you're not, y'know, brushing dead skin, old product, and plain ol' dirt through your hair every time you detangle (ew). This dual-ended tool has a pointed tip for raking and removing old hair and other grossness from your brush and stiff bristles on both ends to sweep it all away. Don't forget to give your brush a good shampoo after you're done removing all that gunk from it!
52. A Terro “Garbage Guard” that’ll keep your outdoor trash bins clear of anything that… shouldn’t be inside. (You know what I mean. Things that wriggle. Things that squirm. That kind of thing.) Trust me, you do not want a squirmy, wormy, buggy, maggoty infestation inside your garbage bins. But hey, guess what? You can just slap this adhesive panel on the inside of your bin lid, and it’ll keep pests away for up to four months. What a relief!
53. A cute lil’ carpet and upholstery-cleaning machine from Bissell, for those times when a mere spot treatment just won’t cut it. (Sometimes, things are just REALLY BAD, y’know?) This ultra-portable device combines warm water with specialized cleaning agents — choose your formula! — to blast major stains out of your home’s precious soft coverings. No wonder parents of human children and furry ones alike swear by it!
54. An upright Shark vacuum that’ll give your carpets a deep, deep clean — y’know, the kind of clean most carpets only see every so often — pretty much every time you use it. Particularly good for homes that harbor a lot of pet hair (hello, fellow long-haired cat owners), this heavy-duty pick means business — and yet reviewers say it’s still lightweight and pretty easy to maneuver around. The best of all possible vacuum worlds? Maybe!
55. And a pet hair broom that’ll manually unearth the vast amount of pet hair — and human hair, too, probably — you had no idea was lurking deep inside all of your rugs. The handle telescopes, too, so no matter how tall you are (or aren’t) or how long your arms are (or aren’t!), this tool will adjust to suit your needs.
56. AND a ChomChom pet hair roller to make de-furring your entire home — and even yourself — a breeze. Anything it picks up gets deposited into a little compartment for safekeeping, then you can open it up and get rid of it whenever you want. If everything you own is always covered in pet hair (me! It’s me! I’m talking about me!), this gadget is a godsend.
57. A jar of the TikTok-beloved Pink Stuff cleaning paste, because when you’ve got this stuff in your house, you’re prepared for almost any mess life might throw at you. There's almost nothing this stuff can't get shiny and new; from tile and glass to furniture and cookware, this playful pink scrub does it all.
58. Some Wet and Forget shower cleaner that will give you a squeaky clean shower minus the hours of scrubbing. Once a week, just spray the whole shower down with this stuff, let it sit overnight, and rinse it off the next day. It’ll do all the mold- and mildew-fighting for you. Magic!
59. And finally, a reviewer-beloved true HEPA air purifier, because even if you didn’t realize that you needed one of these until, uh, recently (👀), it’s definitely worth the investment. These suckers are a true household workhorse, from improving ventilation, in general, to filtering out specific things like paint fumes or pet smells. (Ask me and my cats’ litter boxes how we know about that last one!)
