1. An adjustable duster brush that'll spruce up your window shades so well you may realize you actually *do* have a view through those dust bunnies.
Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
2. An Echo Auto so you can have Alexa *in your car* and play music, check the news, add notes to your to-do lists, make calls, and more — all while keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
Promising review: "For the moment, this is the pièce de résistance in my Alexa life. I spend a lot of time in my car. I have been listening to audio books via my Bose Hearphones. Now I have Alexa's help while driving. These was sold early to Prime Members requesting one. At first, the Echo Auto kept losing connection to my phone. At one point, every time I reentered my car and restarted it. But that seems to be fixed now, 100%. In fact I do not have any current complaints. After pairing my car to my phone, Alexa becomes available as long as your phone has Wi-Fi. She (anthropomorphization intentional) operates just like any other Alexa. Ask and you receive. I listen to audiobooks a lot. But if I want to switch to music, no problem. In the past, one could not call someone or send and receive texts. That is working great. Directions/Maps works fine, as well. You need to give Alexa access to your contacts for this to work. Although, you can also say, 'Alexa, make a phone call.' 'Who do you wish to call?' '555-xxxxxxx.' All in all, Alexa is almost exactly what I was hoping for. I actually got more. I have purchased two more as gifts. Highly recommended." —Pierce

3. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) for making sure there's soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms.
Promising review: "I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it’s so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." —mammothemeerkat
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 12 pack styles/sizes).
4. A front seat organizer designed with two extra drink holders and a catchall spot to keep keys, lip balm, and the like. Reviewers say this easily fits in their car, even if they didn't have any cupholders before. If you, like the rest of TikTok, need a caffeinated drink, a hydrating drink, and a *fun* drink all at the same time....you need this.
Promising review: "Most awesome thing I bought I think all year! I have a small sports car, no cup-holders. This thing looks awesome, is well-made, and is sturdy! It's everything I needed and it looks fantastic in my car, even though I have dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" —2019
Get it from Amazon for $22.97+ (available in six colors).
5. A Beast blender sure to have your kitchen lookin' upscale and elegant when on display *and* help you make nutrient-dense, hydrating smoothies with the push of a button. Delicious.
6. A nontoxic leather conditioner that'll bring your beloved leather reading chair back to life. All you need is a thin spread of this spiffy conditioner and you''ll be g2g! Now, what page did you leave off on?
Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots, as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" —David H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).
7. A genius automatic bleaching system to make cleaning your toilet a chore of the past. Once installed, it sends cleaner into the bowl every time you flush!
BTW, one cartridge can last up to three months!
Promising review: "I've installed these in all six toilets in my home and they are a great idea. I've been using this for about four to five years. This device circulates bleach product into the toilet bowl after every flush, where it is needed to prevent staining such as water lines from calcium buildup. The chlorine water is restricted to the bowl, not the tank. If chlorine is in the tank it will erode away the flapper and foam seal which separates the tank from the bowl, requiring more expensive repairs. This product solves that problem with no drawbacks and don't look unsightly like the clamp-on bars of chlorine that are permanently inside the bowl." —Dr. D123
Get it from Amazon for $10.53.
8. A clip-on polarized sun visor for folks who know there must be a better solution than squinting into the sunset on their way home from work every day. To use: clip the extender onto your existing sun visor and you're gonna get polarized glare-reduction all the live-long day.
Glare Guard is a small business based in Easton, Pennsylvania creating polarized visors for glare-free driving.
Promising review: "This extender is great; I wish I had purchased this years ago. My daily commute to work is due east and the sun is directly in my line of sight. My commute home is just the opposite, due west and the sun is blinding. This extender is not only a great buy, but it also increases the safety of daily driving." —Dyann Curtis
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
9. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner so you can clean out your rental's sink before your landlord decides to dispose of your deposit.
Promising review: "Works like a charm! These are pretty cool! I was a little skeptical but I followed the easy-to-use directions and it worked just like the product said it would. Foamed up and cleaned the drain!! Smell removed!!" —Jennifer K
Get two packs of four from Amazon for $9.73.
10. A Shark Tank-favorite Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier for giving you Herculean strength in an instant. Hook your bags to the clip, place it around your shoulder, and lift up to *80 pounds!!!* without bag straps literally breaking your back.
Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories.
Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors).
11. An AirFly wireless transmitter to connect your AirPods (or wireless headphones) to your airplane's screen the next time you travel, no Bluetooth needed!!
Promising review: "You don't know it yet but you need this. A friend recommended this and I decided to try it. It works well in flight. Huge improvement in comfort and sound quality over the airlines headphones. Also used for various tours when traveling. Again far more comfortable than the typical tour listening equipment." —PJ14
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three variations).
12. A clear toy blocker that'll keep the toys you give your toddler (and pets) from ending up under appliances and juuust out of reach. These are also great if you want to discourage your pets (or toddler) from hiding under furniture!
Promising reviews: "A must-have for ALL pet owners. This contraption is genius and will save cat (and dog) owners insane amounts of time and frustration retrieving toys. We used this beneath our oven and it works PERFECTLY. Cat can't destroy it (the way she shredded the foam insulation we had stuffed under there before) and we no longer have to get the yardstick out when literally all of her toys are 'gone.' Yes, this is a challenge to install, but 100% worth it. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat." —Allison Goldstein
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in three sizes).
13. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer because that ancient box of baking soda isn't cutting it. Rather than just absorbing bad smells, this also circulates fresh air throughout your fridge to make sure every crevice and corner smells fresh!
Check it out on TikTok!
Promising review: "I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I’ve had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn’t smelled once since I’ve started using." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two styles).
14. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher can transform the dumbest of devices into smart machines worthy of this century (as long as they have a pressable "on/off" switch). Have Alexa control these gadgets and gizmos with an app instead! Getting up to start the coffee maker is soo old school.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in white and black).
15. A flat water bottle with a clean design that's easy to fit into any bag *and* the seat pocket in front of you. With this you're sure to stay hydrated even on your longest of work days.
Promising review: "This doesn’t leak at all! It fits in my backpack. Because my backpack has no pockets on the side, this was really useful." —Rand Alhachami
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
16. A power drill scrubber brush set for power cleaning any questionable stains the last renters left behind. These brushes clean tile, glass, and even upholstery.
17. A standing weeder with three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing. There's no need to bend down all day while pulling out weeds in your new yard!
This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. The simple lever system is what makes pulling weeds with this so easy!
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
18. A rice cooker to take the guesswork out of making the perfect bowl of rice. It might be the most used appliance in your kitchen, because you can basically feed yourself for every single meal with this thing.
Promising review: "I love this product. I've made so many different rices in it. The only thing I suggest is when making rice that might end up sitting in the pot for a while, put some olive oil on the bottom as the rice tends to stick if it's sitting on the 'warm' setting for too long, or add some extra water. The rice cooker is wonderful though. It's a real time-saver." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $19.89+ (available in three sizes).
19. A pair of compression socks — they're gonna have you swelling with gratitude when you realize your legs aren't swelling when you reach altitude.
My colleague wrote a full review all about why pregnant, athletic, and traveling people swear by these socks.
Promising review: "I have been traveling almost every week for business for the past six years and about five years in I realized my legs would often hurt after some longer flights. I am 29 years old was very worried about having pains in my leg already. I was told by my physician to try to wear compression socks while flying.
After using this product for many months and wearing them on a few international flight, I have to say this is definitely worth the money! They are very comfortable and do not feel too suffocating while on longer flights. I have worn them upwards of 24 hours without a problem or need to want to remove them.This did help tremendously with my leg pain after flights and I highly recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a good pair of compression socks!" —Lopa Desai
Get them from Amazon for $13.69+ (available in 13 colors and three sizes).
20. A can of fire extinguishing spray with a design that'll spark your muscle memory, because nothing sounds scarier than not knowing how to use an extinguisher when you notice a fire start to spark!
Promising review: "I bought one for beside the grill, one for beside the stove, one for the laundry room, and one for the car. I think the intuitive, easy to use design is fantastic. We already have the muscle memory for using a spray can. In an emergency, it's so much easier to grab this and use it, and turn a small fire into a non-fire. I don't have time to remember a three step method of fire control when my bacon has gotten out of control on the stove. I'm not a firefighter! I'd really like to have one in every room. Think about it. Isn't it better to immediately contain a small fire than deal with a big one? This could save your life, and your house." —K. Zander
Get it from Amazon for $13.84.
21. A fast-acting lawn repair formula for when your dog's peeing, playing, and digging inevitably wreaks havoc on your yard. This easy-to-use combination of grass seeds, mulch, and soil amendment is specifically designed to repair pet-induced damage and get new grass growing ASAP.
Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn good, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $13.71+ (available in five sizes and multiple pack sizes).
22. A memory foam cushion that'll keep your rear in gear on particularly long drives. Keep your tush happy and comfortable through every bump in the road!
Promising review: "I bought this cushion in preparation for a transatlantic flight to Europe. It did not disappoint. Over 5,000 miles one way and my back and buttocks were still comfortable. Who knew that one layer of memory foam in the right shape could make so much difference! I thought the cushion was a little pricey but I am glad I made the investment. I have used it in my car as well. The only down side I have noted is that sometimes depending on the seat you are using it on...it may apply more pressure on the backs of your legs than was comfortable for me. I coped with this in the car by tilting the car seat a little to ease the pressure and on the plane by scooting the cushion forward just a little. All in all, this was a great buy. If you use it for air travel; remember to wear your compression socks." —TXNonni
Get it from Amazon for $25.95+ (available in three colors).
23. A cast-iron Dutch oven for preparing meals outside that are sure to taste especially good inside...your stomach.
24. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers to save your skin from the summer sun if you avoid outdoor activities because your skin is basically allergic to sunshine.
Promising review: "I'm multi-racial with tan skin. I burn when it's intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." —FlightLife
Get a pack of 32 from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in packs of 16 and 48).
25. A culinary blow torch for folks who are ready to bask in the glow of their very own homemade baked Alaska. Topping your desserts and sweet drinks off with a torch is almost too chic to stand!
Promising review: "Didn't want to like this torch but man, this thing is awesome. I'm used to buying torches from the bodega but no more. Super easy to fill. It has a metal tip so no there are no melting parts. The flame is immense yet adjustable so you get the right flame every time. If you're on the fence, just order it. You won't be disappointed." —KSD
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
26. A box of plant food to make gardening so much easier, the thought of working outside will really ~grow~ on you.
Promising review: "I love this!! Years ago I worked in an office and there was a Poinsettia plant that had seen better days. My coworker was going to throw it out but I told her to let me try to revive it, so I used this stuff just like I used it on my house plants and nursed the plant along. It was like a miracle when right around Christmas the Poinsettia plant I cared for displayed the bright red leaves!!! The other people in the office had told me the plant would die, so you can imagine their faces when they saw the results of the Miracle-Gro!" —Doug W.
Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in six sizes and varieties).
27. A pack of wool dryer balls that'll dry your clothes faster, make your laundry softer, and replace wasteful dryer sheets and fabric softener. You'll seriously have a ~ball~ with these cute things in your laundry.
Promising review: "I could not resist ordering these — they are too cute! You get six wool dryer balls and each has a different animal face (my favorite being the one that looks like a koala). They are well made and come in a cloth bag to keep in; however, I plan to just leave mine in the dryer full time so I don't have to think about it.
On the back of the card it tells you how they source their wool and that the dryer balls are made by Nepal Artisans; I thought that was a nice touch rather than just getting something from a random factory in China. Since they are nicely packaged, they would also be a great addition to a housewarming gift basket.
They are so cute you might look forward to doing laundry! I am glad I found these so I won't have to spend money on dryer sheets anymore!" —JKGetts
Get them from Amazon for $14.79+ (available in six styles).
28. A pair of adjustable hiking poles — they're gonna make you the most agile four-legged creature on the forest floor, even if hiking is your kryptonite.
These are made with lightweight aluminum. They have anti-shock features and padded wrist straps for comfort. BTW, each pole comes with two rubber tips, two spares, a carbide tip (built into each pole) and two mud baskets — you're gonna be covered no matter the terrain!
Promising review: "I am so glad I bought these. I'm fairly new to hiking and now understand why so many people use these. I did a hard hike before buying these and overworked my knees climbing up/down and over rocks on the mountain. I then went on a hike after buying these and I'm so glad I did. These were very helpful in taking the pressure off my knees. The spring function they have is nice. I also like the different attachments for different types of ground that come with it." —Cathleen
Get them from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three styles).
29. A multiuse car hammer that'll help you easily escape from your car in an emergency — the safety edge slicer can cut through your seatbelt and the rounded hammer breaks through windows and windshields.
Promising review: "My puppy got tangled in her leash, car seat safety clip, harness clip, and seat belt. The release buckles could not even release because it was twisted so tightly. I knew I had to cut her free, it was such a relief when it hit me I had the seat belt cutter under the seat. I never thought I would use it, but so glad I had it today (pictured above)." —Elizabeth
Get two from Amazon for $8.09.
30. A lock bag for anyone who has been keeping their most important papers somewhere less than *safe*. This is even fire- and waterproof!
Promising review: "I am loving my new safe storage for important documents. I now have a place to keep passports, my wedding license, car titles, mortgages, and wedding photos. If disaster happens I can have my mind at ease. I love that it has a fireproof zipper, a code lock design, and a strong handle that adds storage security and carrying safety." —Jenn A
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).
31. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner, this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon!
Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved it. Looked for it online, and on Walmart they were about $150 for some reason?? Got it here, and I am LOVING IT. Things definitely look cleaner. Spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. if you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
32. A lifesaving emergency car jump starter you'll love if you know the importance of (simple) car maintenance. This is also an air compressor! It's got a universal nozzle, an LED floodlight, and a multi-device charger with two USB ports. Make life a little easier and keep this close.

Check out a TikTok of the emergency power kit in action.
Promising review: "I would 1,000% recommend this for anyone and everyone. My dad bought me one for Christmas, and it has got me out of bad situations a couple of times. I have since bought one for everyone in the family and have recommended to the rest of the extended family. It comes in handy and can help avoid being in an unsafe situation where you are stranded and someone taking advantage of the situation. Not only does it charge your car battery, but you can use it to emergency charge your phone or to plug in something during a trip. This one fills tires. Just perfect." —SA Sunshine

33. An indoor compost bin that's gonna look great on your counter and help you responsibly toss unused pieces of produce.
Promising review: "I was on the fence regarding buying this. Will this really be better than the Tupperware I was using? Turns out it was worth it. It looks great, it holds more, and I like that I can remove the lid with one hand instead of two – which is helpful when multitasking in the kitchen. I like the rubberized handle both for comfort and quietness. I’ve been unable to detect any odors emitted from it and I have sourdough starter in there so it works good in that way too. Like that it’s made in the USA too." —Tim H

Promising review: "I LOVE this crepe maker! I love thin lacy french crepes and they turn out perfect every time on this. I have also made pancakes, including attempts at pancake art. It heats up quickly and changes to the desired level quickly as well. The nonstick surface is so easy to clean. Just wipes right off! This is my kitchen favorite and I am 100% satisfied with this purchase." —abc
