We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed collects a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A pair of bag-carrying handles if making trip...after trip...after trip...carrying the groceries home is just not working for you. Want to carry ALL the bags at once (without hurting your hands)? These'll do the trick.
2. A volumizing gel pomade to bold-ify your brows — it lifts, holds, adds color, and fills in with the fiber formula. All with just a few swipes of the mascara-like brush!
3. A super-speedy wine stain remover so you can quickly undo Sandra's sloshing all over your pristine white couch and carpet, without losing your ~temper-nillo~. Now you can get back to enjoying the party.
4. A microwave rice steamer to make burnt stovetop rice (or waiting like...40 minutes for your rice cooker to finish) a thing of the past. Just add your grain, water, and pop in the micro!
5. A picture-hanging tool that'll make every step of the process easier — and way faster. Just line it up with your anchor points, make sure your pot on the wall is level, then use the points on the back to mark your spot. You ~nailed~ it!
6. A single-handed tape dispenser to make wrapping gifts, sealing envelopes, etc. way, way speedier (because we're getting into present-wrapping crunch time!) — and to help keep those wrapping jobs TIGHT. Just pull the lever to cut the tape!
Am I the only one who ends up with a weirdly baggy gift?
Promising review: "My last tape dispenser that was awful. Threading the tape through the mechanism was a PITA. The gears and springs would fall out when you opened the damn thing. Eventually, the tape started to cling to the roller and would rip the paper I was trying to tape. This design is great; the tape self threads itself when you put it on the rubber bands, the tape stays on the inside of the device until you press the trigger to release it, the tape self cuts when you let go of the trigger. Everything can be done with one hand. Wonderful!" —Billster
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in three colors).
7. A SockDock, aka a useful tool you can clip dirty socks to (in pairs!), toss the *whole thing* in the washer and dryer, and remove together so NO SOCK gets lost. And you're not stuck searching for a pair when you're already running late.
Amazon
Promising review: "Totally obsessed with this! I’ve been using it a few weeks now and have zero complaints! I haven’t lost a single sock since! They always come out paired and completely dried (which was one of my concerns, I wasn’t sure if they were going to dry properly) I would defiantly recommend this! It’s amazing and makes life so much easier! Specially with a toddler and baby on the way!" —Sarah Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
8. A grooming glove designed with nodules on the fingers and palms so you can groom your furry family member *as you pet them* — aka two tasks in one! Do it while you're watching TV, who cares? They won't fidget or get uncomfortable, and your sofa (and clothes!) won't be constantly covered in hair.
9. A quick and easy breakfast sandwich maker so you can enjoy a hot and satisfying brekkie without spend all morning doing it — or shelling out those extra bucks at your local spot. Your sandwich will be ready in just FIVE minutes, without having to break out any extra pots and pans (or even a toaster).
10. A Dash rapid cooker that'll make whipping up nutritious hardboiled eggs less...well...hard. No watching water boil, no checking a timer every sixty seconds. Just sit back and relax until the (very loud) alarm goes off — perfect eggs are ready!
11. A dishwasher cleaner and disinfectant to remove limescale, rust, grease, and other nasty buildup so your machine runs more efficiently than ever — while you do...literally anything else.
12. A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner so you can keep your shower clean and mildew-free by spraying just *once a week*. Check "clean shower" off your to-do list, and move right on to the NEXT cleaning item.
13. A pair of lil' leaf scoopers to help make clearing your lawn less of a, well, chore. Reviewers swear by this for easily picking up big piles of leaves so you can drop 'em into a bag — and even use the scooper to ~compress~ the leaves to maximize space. Aaaand they'll protect your hands from holly or stinging nettles.
14. A set of bed bands that will keep your fitted sheets neatly tucked under your mattress, so you'll sleep more comfortably *and* be able to make your bed wayyyy faster in the morning. And making your bed is really the best way to start a productive day.
15. A drain clearing tool with a rotating handle and five replacement snakes with 4,000 micro hooks and a slim design to shimmy down any drain (you don't even need to remove the cover) and snag all the hairs and goop that's clogging the system — in one quick pull. Wayyyy faster than any other drain-clearing solution (especially calling the plumber).
16. A foot filing rasp that'll undo years of callus buildup in mere MINUTES. No waiting for intense creams to do their work, no getting pedicure after pedicure — if you want to see results ASAP, you'll think it's ~grate~.
17. A genius hammock for your dog or cat to keep them freaking still while you cut their nails for once so you can actually get it DONE in five minutes. Reviewers say it makes their pets surprisingly relaxed!
18. A wad preventer, because balled-up sheets that NEVER seem to actually get dry?? Not on my watch! Who has the time?! This genius invention will keep the corners from getting bunched up to increase your tumble and decrease your dry time.
19. Or for non-sheet loads, a set of extra large wool dryer balls that'll ensure your laundry dries quicker and gets softer than ever — *25%* faster. Those towels that take FOR-E-VER (The Sandlot voice) to dry? No more.
Amazon
Promising review: "I was excited but skeptical about this product but I just used them for 4 loads of laundry and they are awesome! I would normally have used about 20 dryer sheets but I just used the dryer balls instead. My clothing, towels and sheets came out of the dryer wrinkle free, soft and no static cling. I am buying the lavender essential oil to try. I used to spend quite a bit of money on fabric softeners and fragrance boosters. I am thrilled not to have to add a bunch of chemicals. The scent is lovely and clean even without adding the oil. Best purchase of the year." —mskrippers
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors).

20. A microfiber cloth to remove every single trace of dirt and makeup (even waterproof formulas!) with just water and in ONE swipe, so you can get to bed STAT without breaking out 1,000 different makeup removers, cleansers, etc.
21. Or a Foreo Luna Mini 2, a silicone face-cleansing brush designed to totally remove your makeup, dirt, and oil, AAAAND gently exfoliate your skin in just 60 seconds (I know).
22. A waterproof, smudge-resistant eyeliner stamp with two sides: a triangular stamp on one end and a felt-tip eyeliner on the other to create the perfect winged liner look in lit'rally one second. No drawing, seeing if your wings match, redrawing, cleaning up, redrawing AGAIN, and then having very sore eyelids.
23. Or a two-in-one Kiss eyeliner that's actually *also* eyelash glue, so you can get out the door in way less time — just line with the easy-to-draw felt tip, let the glue get tacky, and stick those falsies on!
24. A tub of extra large, heavy duty cleaning wipes to get tough jobs done in no time flat. No spraying, scrubbing, rinsing, scrubbing, and rinsing again. One wipe = the job is done. Now you get FINALLY get around to what you actually *want* to do.
25. Two pairs of "self-tying" shoelaces so you can head out the door for a quick jog or grocery run *truly* quickly — just slip them through the loops of any lace-up shoe and slip 'em on your feet.
26. A bottle of Fanola purple shampoo that'll neutralize yellow tones and brassiness for platinum locks — all in one to three minutes and *without* a trip to the salon.
27. A seven-in-one Instant Pot Duo for whipping up press-the-button-and-watch-the-magic-happen dishes and meals — in much less time than a slow cooker. It can slow cook, pressure cook, make rice, sauté, make yogurt, and keep food warm. Bye-bye other appliances!

31. A Muller veggie chopper to turn your onion-cutting tears into tears of joy when you realize the whole dang thing is diced with one press of the lever. Shaving five (ok...ten) minutes off your meal prep time? You love to see it.
32. A stainless-steel, dishwasher-safe ice cream scoop with a ~chiseled edge~ and ergonomic grip for effortless serving — no letting your ice cream sit out for ten minutes, no microwaving, no chipping at it slowly with a spoon. And it'll make dishing up a sundae feel less like arm day at the gym.
33. A Revlon one-step drying brush reviewers swear by for cutting their dry time down to as little as five minutes. It has a unique oval-shaped barrel so you can get super close to your scalp for smooth hair and majorly boosted volume at the roots, without having to juggle a brush and blow-dryer.
34. A quick-drying top coat so you can finally stop saying "oh sheet!" when you see the indents pressed into your fresh manicure when you wake up in the morning. This baby'll have your polish fully set looooong before you go to bed (like, in a few minutes after applying, max!).

38. And if you want to keep it *really* low-key, a pound (or more!) of smoked pulled pork that shows up at your door already cooked, seasoned, and sauced with a Memphis-style BBQ sauce so you can enjoy that sloooow cooked flavor — in just a few minutes. Bring on the BBQ pork nachos.
39. A ~Fasta Pasta~ cooker to make perfectly al dente pasta right in the microwave — no waiting for the pot to boil. Plus, the lid doubles as a strainer, so you really won't dirty any extra dishes!
40. A pocket-sized, safer-to-use cutting tool for making small jobs (cutting tape, opening boxes) quicker and tough jobs (that clamshell packaging) faster and less frustrating. Because it's always the boxes you're the *most* excited about that are the *hardest* to open.
41. A stainless-steel electric corkscrew that'll open a bottle in seconds, seriously reducing the amount of time you have to wait before having a glass of wine.
