1. A drinking fountain faucet attachment that'll be loved by anyone who wants a sip of water without dirtying a whole cup and thus, washing a whole cup.
This design only fits standard sized faucets but you can still use this even if it doesn't fit, just be sure to grab an adapter along with it.
Promising review: "I have Parkinson's and find it difficult to handle a water glass while taking my daily pills. This little water fountain is perfect for me! It was shipped quickly and was super easy to install with no tools. The knob is easy to slide in and out to change from faucet to fountain. The water comes up high enough that I do not have to bend too far over to drink from it. It is not in the way when I wash my hands. I really am glad that I spotted this gadget." —Texas Grandma
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
2. A window-installed pet door for letting your pet easily get in and out of the house, even if you have a rental. No more destroying doors by making tinier doors!
Promising review: "I love this! We didn’t have a good place to make a hole in the wall to our backyard but we do have low windows next to our fireplace, so it was a match to get this window door. It was super easy to install and we love the locking feature. We got a snow storm and it took a while for our garden beds to stop being muddy. We locked the door so kitty wouldn’t bring in mud. I will say it is a bit drafty, so we got an extra weather strip to secure the draftiness. Our kitty only took a couple of days to get used to it too. We put his food just outside the window and he had to get used to going out there to get his food. All in all it was a great buy!" —AlyHowell
Get it from Amazon for $101.72+ (available in eight sizes).
3. A six-port outlet, which SWIVELS, meaning you can finally use the outlet behind your sofa! Which is great news when basically everything you own needs an outlet these days.
This even has two USB ports. Bless.
Promising review: "Where has this thing has been my whole life?! I've struggled with plugging and unplugging my phone charger and lamp behind my bed for the longest time. My poor husband didn't even get an outlet – he had to charge his phone across the bedroom. This device has been super convenient because now he and I can simply plug our charging cables into the USB outlets along the top of the plug. This completely eliminates having to bother plugging the block up at all. Then, the outlets themselves twist to the sides instead of straight out like a normal outlet. I've got a whole side dedicated for what I need plugged in; a lamp and now a white noise machine. The other side twists to the right, so my husband can plug in whatever he needs. No more cables getting smooshed and bent...no more struggling to plug something in behind the bed... Well done and thanks for making such a smart product! Very convenient." —Amazonaholic
Get it from Amazon for $19.14.
4. A set of wad-free pads for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. Get this and keep those laundry clods from wasting precious drying time!
Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. And 5% of profits are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

5. A garlic rocker that'll, ahem, rock your world. This tool is so much easier than a traditional garlic press.
I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press. This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle, it minces just the same. This also comes with a (TBH very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant.
Promising review: "I like garlic very much, so I use this garlic press every day. It works very well, is easy to use, and easy to clean. Compared with the garlic press I used before, this is more labor-saving and comfortable." —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (available in two colors).
6. A soothing behavioral aid toy with a faux heartbeat — this is sure to be your puppy's ~dream~ toy and help *you* finally get to sleep while crate training.
Promising review: "My partner and I recently got a 4-month-old Italian greyhound puppy and this has been great. We slept with the stuffed animal a few nights before picking up our puppy and placed it in his crate before he arrived. After playing with us and exploring his new home he walked into his crate and curled up against it and went right to sleep. He slept right through the first night with no issue. Today is week two and the batteries are still going strong. I plan on buying one for my sister who will be getting a puppy in the next few months. This is cute and functional." —Jeb
Get it from Amazon for $36.80+ (available in five colors).
7. A rechargeable hair trimmer that doesn't require soap or water, so you can use it anywhere! Get this and "shaving" can be smooth sailing from here on out.
Promising review: "I love, love, love this shaver. It works great. Easy to use. It's design is a comfortable fit in my hand. The side grips allow no slipping. The more I use it the smoother my legs are. I have course hair and trouble with razor burn and ingrown hairs. Thus unit feels like an exfoliant treatment each time I use it. Really great. No irritation. I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $50.
8. A pack of Downy fabric spray — if you find yourself getting worry wrinkles over keeping your linen wardrobe pressed, this spray is gonna *finally* rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases.
"I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer." —Danielle Healy, BuzzFeed
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.
9. A versatile bag clip to treat your Gucci dupe with the love and respect it deserves — keep it off of sticky floors and bathroom tile!
Promising review: "I have a very heavy, large purse that is a bottomless pit. One time I put my purse on the back of my chair at a cafe and the whole chair flipped over, that is how heavy my bag is. I was looking for something so I could hook my purse on things so it wasn’t sitting on the floor and was more accessible. I love this little gadget. I have used it on everything from bathroom stalls to tables to grocery carts. This thing really grips. All of my girlfriends love it and have gotten it for themselves." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in eight colors).
10. A suspiciously chic flat water bottle you can fit into any bag or backpack and thus, hydrate throughout the day.
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 $18.99.
11. A toilet target light with a motion sensor and clear projection — this is sure to make potty training a bright spot in your child's life.
To apply, simply clean the area with an alcohol wipe before attaching the light. Take the sticker off the back and press firmly against the lid for 90 seconds. That's it! Batteries are included.
Promising review: "I got this thinking 'Dear lord I hope this works. If I drop my pants in pee again or have to scrub another wall I am going to go insane!' I thought the price was a bit much but it is okay now that I now it works! I don’t know why people are saying theirs don’t stay on. I’m truly hoping they cleaned the area first... but anyways. All I did was clean the surface of the lid with some rubbing alcohol and stuck this light on, like it said to do. My husband and son are in and out of the bathroom several times a day. Slamming the lid closed. Lights on and off all the time. This still lights up bright as ever and it’s going on three weeks. Now when I sit I sometimes might lean back into it but it’s really not an issue. I'm just overwhelmed with joy because this target works and I do not have to scrub any extra walls, floors, or pants!!! You better believe I’m getting one for every darn bathroom in my house!!!" —NoRestForTheWicked
Get it from Amazon for $34.88.
12. A tug-of-war toy that'll suction cup to your floor, giving you some alone time when Spot doesn't want to stop playing.
Promising review: "We bought this for our 7-month-old labradoodle and he absolutely loves it. He is a big fan of tug of war so this toy is great to just leave on the ground and let him have at it. It certainly helps distract and burn his puppy energy. You can hide treats in it as well which was a bonus. This also comes with two sticky pads for extra suction. Five stars all around!!" —P. Bom
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available with one or two suction cups).
13. A shower phone holder so you can binge-watch Yellowjackets without pesky hygiene getting in the way.
Promising review: "This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" —Jackie Donovan
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four colors).
14. A flexible spoon with a 1-tablespoon measure that'll stir, flip, and add the perfect amount of oil every time you sauté.
It's heat-resistant up to 600 degrees and designed with an ergonomic handle, stiff nylon core, and flexible angled head for easy stirring. You can also get a blender spatula, jar scraper, and assorted sizes of spoons from the same link.
Promising review: "I use this for EVERYTHING! Not just for scraping jars, but getting every last bit out of the protein powder, for scraping down the sides of batter bowls, for mixing soups and stews while cooking, even as a spoon for testing. I now have three of these (in different colors) so I'll always have one at the ready." —Paul J DeSimone
Get it from Amazon for $9 (available in four colors).
15. A cutting board prep station so you can slice, dice, and store your meal prepped masterpieces all at once.
Promising review: "I purchased this product because I do a lot of food prep and have challenges placing prepared cuttings into containers. This unique cutting board allows me to cut various foods and slide them through an opening directly into a sealable plastic container. the time savings and organization allows for faster prep time. The bamboo board works well for this purpose." —N Hara
Get it from Amazon for $59.
16. A cake slicer for easily serving up perfect portions of your famous cake, because we all know that smushing a wine glass into a cake (trend-setting as it may be) doesn't exactly leave a cake looking lovely.
17. A tomato knife that'll make chopping up this pesky piece of produce tomat-oh so easy!
Promising review: "I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." —Jane S.
Get it from Amazon for $15.75.
18. And a handy Souper Cubes freezer tray to make it ~souper~ easy to store notoriously hard-to-freeze things like soups and sauces. Being able to defrost individual portions of soup has my all-too-adult heart all aflutter.
This is BPA-free and dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned 1/2-cup and 1-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
19. A drip dry cleaner so you can get your chandelier shining with just a spritz of spray. There's no need to take the dang thing down and clean each individual crystal any longer!
Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. There's no smell, it's a super easy application, and it gives instant results. You could see the dirt dripping down the chandelier...gross. I will definitely be buying this again. I recommend putting plastic underneath with a sheet or paper towels on top to absorb the drip. I’ve attached before and after one application photos (seen above)." —kmw
Get it from Amazon for $22.89.
20. A set of hidden magnetic locks to keep your pint-sized cat burglar from breaking into your secret candy stash.
The set comes with 12 locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys.
Promising review: "These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby, and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds, the bracket means it lines up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals, and I put one on the trash door, so the dog stays out of the trash so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on, so when my kids are bigger, we can flip the switch, but if little kids were visiting, we could put them back on." —Joseph J. Krakker
Get a set from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four set sizes).
21. A set of fiberglass chopsticks that are dishwasher-safe and made with a no-slip design — these'll help you easily eat noodles without tasty bites slipping and sliding before they make it into your mouth.
These also work great with hot foods, i.e. they won't get too hot when hanging out in a steaming bowl of broth.
Promising review: "This is a quality set of chopsticks! The fiberglass is heavier than standard wood ones (obviously), but they are still easy to use. They don't feel that heavy in the hand. The tips are textured slightly for a better grip on food; this is really great with noodles. The top has a pretty design. I haven't had them very long, but they seem durable and relatively scratch resistant. They clean easily with soap and warm water (they're also dishwasher-friendly). I was looking for an affordable, re-useable set and originally considering stainless steel ones. But based on a number of reviews stating that the material on some wasn't true stainless steel, or they're too heavy, or they get too hot if left in a bowl, I ultimately went with this set. I'm very glad I did!" —nhcabin
Get a box of 10 pairs from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors).
22. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit so you can prep (and cleanup!) in no time at all. The interchangeable blades just pop out and then you can pop them right into the dishwasher!
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two styles).
23. A set of stove counter gap covers to save that insufferable space from the slips and spills that leave stray crumbs on your floor...forever.
Promising review: "I ordered these silicone gap covers to keep debris from falling in between our kitchen appliances and the counters. The thing that sold me was when I read a review on here that stated that they were able to use it for the gap between the stove and fridge. I have the same setup in my apartment. Countertop on one side of the stove and fridge on the other. The silicone sticks very well to the fridge, stove, and counter. It doesn’t move around very easily, which is a good thing. Just make sure you place it with the wider side of the strip towards the counter as shown in the picture." —Kevin B.
Get two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in three sizes and three colors).
24. A cookie gun that'll help you punch out perfectly pressed cookies in a mere moment. Sweet.
This kit includes 14 different steel disks, six decorating tips, a storage box, recipes, and it's dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I bought this press a few years ago and have used it several times. I just got it out for this year's batch of Christmas cookies, and was reminded again of how well this works compared to others I have used. I have owned four other presses, one electric and three manual, plus I remember fighting with my mother's manual press many years ago. This one makes perfect cookies! One squeeze of the handle dispenses the correct amount of dough for the cookie. It is easy to fill, easy to change cookie molds, and easy to clean. I would definitely buy this for a gift." —Laura M. Young
Get it from Amazon for $40.03.
25. A TubShroom to protect you from the things lurking in your drain, because soap-covered hair goo is too scary for even Stephen King to put down the pipes.
Promising review: "I preach and swear by the TubShroom. It is an utter life saver and keeps our drains clear. We haven't had to use harsh chemicals to unclog the drains since we started using it. Since two women share the tub we have to clean it more often but it really isn't bad at all. It blends right in the tub — no nasty weird contraptions that trap the hair outside the drain making it an eyesore. LOVE LOVE LOVE." —Ariana Zarate
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors or a two-pack).
26. A storage bean bag so your kid can use their signature "shove the mess where people can't see it" technique and still make their room look, you know, *actually* clean.
Promising review: "This has saved my sanity!! Our stuffed animals and blankets always ended up all over the basement. Thanks to this awesome chair, they are now all contained and they make for a super cozy reading nook under the stairs. The quality seems excellent. I expect it will last for many years! The stuffed chair is also cozy – double win!" —Emily Heilman
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in five designs).
27. A microfiber dusting glove, because microfiber is the very best material to use when picking up pesky dust particles, and you're gonna see why when you use this! Whoever thought to turn a cleaning cloth into a glove is a true genius.
Promising review: "Do you hate having to dust around things? I know I do. This glove is ideal — you can just wipe away dust while easily maneuvering around odds and ends in your way. Because it’s your own hand inside the glove it’s also easy to maneuver over oddly shaped things like silk plants or blinds. I absolutely recommend this!" —Katherine Wise
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two styles).
28. A sleek stand for keeping both your stirring spoon and the lid of your pot upright and nearby, preventing you from making a mess on your counter by simply laying them down.
Promising review: "I personally always hate it when you pull off the lid of something and the lid is leaking water everywhere while being super hot. With my new solid-surface counters, I definitely don't want to set the lid on there and ruin them and putting it on the stovetop is either annoying due to the water mess or impossible if you are using the whole stove. This was made for the fussy new-home person like me. I can now set the lid down down safely and not worry about where all that hot water is going." —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
29. A bread maker that'll help you bake perfect loaves of bread using only one container. The partially closed design allows steam to circulate to keep your bread from drying out, while the openings on the side help heat disperse evenly, creating a golden crust. This li'l tool will help you ~rise~ to the occasion any time an occasion calls for baked bread.
This is both microwave and dishwasher safe. It's capable of withstanding temperatures up to 428 degrees.
Promising review: "I love this. It's very easy to use and to clean. I have been trying to make fresh bread every week and this is much easier than using my dutch oven. I have been trying different recipes with this bread maker and so far all have come out great!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.
30. A hanging garbage bag holder so you can easily dispose of your scraps without a trek to the trash can every single step of the recipe.
Promising review: "I love this product because I'm always chopping vegetables and cutting up meat. I would be making several trips to the trash. Now I'm able to make meal prep quicker, easier, and cleaner! A good way to use up some of those plastic bags from the grocery store, too!" —Ellen Holcomb
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
31. A mini skillet for making a single-serving dish without washing a massive pan afterward.
Promising review: "I have the 6.5 inch and it's the basically size of a regular napkin. I got it to make pizzookies (pizza cookies). This size is perfect for me. I've used my skillets for cookies and eggs (mountain man breakfast) and it hasn't caused me any issues. In fact, my eggs didn't stick at all! Overall, great. I think I'll order two more to use with friends over!" —jhfitness
Get it from Amazon for $11.75+ (available in eight sizes).
32. An inconspicuous jar opener, because you're not gonna let arthritis, or poor upper body strength, get in the way of your pasta sauce and pickles.
Promising review: "I bought this last year and have used it many times on many different lids, even use it to open gallon milk jugs when those pesky plastic attachments just won't seem to give. I haven't found anything I try that it won't open for me. No more banging on the counter, just hold it under my cabinet and slid it in the V-shaped opening, give it a little twist to open, hardly any effort at all. It was easy to attach under the cabinet, I put mine so the wide opening faces forward. I personally think every house should have one of these." —Addie
Get It from Amazon for $16.95.
33. A pack of cheese storage paper can keep your cheese fresh far longer than wrapping it in plastic wrap (cheese is alive — it needs to breathe!) *and* make your fridge look frickin' fancy while you're at it.
The paper recreates the environment cheese is aged in by breathing just the right amount and maintaining perfect humidity.
Promising review: "Before I bought this cheese paper I would do the cheese search in the refrigerator. After buying cheeses, opening them, and then rewrapping them in heaven knows what (namely plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and plastic containers), it was always the same result: moldy cheese. This box contains the paper in sheets plus some stickers that you can write on with the name of the cheese and the date it was wrapped or even sell by date. There are also pictures of a sheep, cow, and goat so the source can be identified by circling or checking one of them! What I also like is that the cheeses can be rewrapped after use and amazingly the stickers still stick! The paper can also be cut to size to wrap smaller cheeses. So far I have noted that the cheeses have stayed fresh with not a trace of mold. I highly recommend this product to all cheese lovers!" —Prairie Woman
Get a pack of 15 sheets from Amazon for $15 (also available in larger packs).
34. A 60 second hot-to-cold coffee device for folks who need an at-home iced coffee option. This also works for quickly chilling wine, which may be my personal favorite feature.
Promising review: "Got this for my boyfriend who hates hot coffee but makes his coffee with the Keurig. This little thing fits right on the freezer door cleans really easily, and cools down whatever you put into it so quickly. We have even used it to cool down wine and other spirits that aren't carbonated. It beats adding ice to a drink you don't want to water down!" —J_Thrill
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
35. A pivoting extension cord designed to swivel, making it possible to adjust cords around corners and in awkward areas where you're running out of outlets.
Promising review: "The pivoting segments are a very cool feature. I've never had something like that before but now that I have it, I love it. The USB ports are a plus as well. The On/Off button lights up a nice blue when on. All this, and it comes in pink. :)" —Ciara U.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three colors).
36. A spice-organizing drawer liner you can cut to fit inside your kitchen drawers, making room for over 30 spice jars! Now to sort them in alphabetical order...whew! Hot.
Promising review: "We just moved into a new home, and I needed a way to store spices in a drawer. This product is exactly what I was looking for. It fits beautifully in my drawer, but I love that the strips can be cut for a custom fit. I shopped around for other in-drawer spice organizers, but I would have had to purchase separate jars and transfer the spices. No thanks. This product works with the jars and containers just as they come from the store — no need to purchase special jars. It holds large and small round jars, square containers, and oversized spices. The quality is outstanding. I'm very happy with my purchase!" —EPD611
Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors and a two-pack).
37. A clever dish soap dispenser so easy to use it's sure to have you bubbling up with gratitude every time you need some soap.
BTW, this comes with a sponge!
Promising review: "I love this soap dispenser!! It's made with sturdy plastic and looks so much better by my sink than the little bottles of soap. It works fabulously – just one or two little pushes gives the soap. I would highly recommend. This is an awesome product." —Brittany Y.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors).
38. A bagel guillotine which, despite its delightfully dreadful name, is just about the safest way you could ever slice a bagel. Grab this to help your kids make breakfast without the fear of losing a digit.
Promising review: "I picked this up because my heart could no longer take the stress of watching our 11-year-old slice bagels (while multitasking with screens and whatnot) with a serrated bread knife. I was going to have a heart attack and she was going to slice into her hand so...I had high hopes and, regardless of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, some concerns about how well this would work. My concerns were unwarranted. This not-so-little little device slices through every single bagel, every single time (and my kid goes through kicks where she'll eat two or three each day). I no longer worry about serious cuts even though the (covered) blade on this thing is SHARP! Only word of advice, like other reviewers, slice (press down) slowly so as not to squash softer bagels. Additionally, this thing slices so cleanly that there are no crumbs to speak of. I'm quite happy with this purchase. This thing now has a permanent place next to the toaster on our counter. I highly recommend it." —Christopher RS
Get it from Amazon for $20.24+ (available in four colors).
39. A collapsable cooling rack for when your cookie cravings are greater than your counter space.
Promising review: "This is easy to set up, sturdy, and saves counter space! I'm so happy with this purchase." —Sun Family
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
40. A butter bell — this makes butter so soft, rich, and spreadable you just might think it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Promising review: "This looks great on the counter and works well! It makes butter easy to spread and stays fresh with natural water seal. I should have bought one of these years ago!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $27.95 (available in 13 colors).
41. And finally, a snail soap dispenser — keep this in your entryway for guests to use as they walk in. Don't be sluggish about keeping your home free of germs. Just make sure this silly thing is front and center and everyone will wanna use it!
I highly recommend this eucalyptus and mint sanitizer if you're looking for a fresh scent.
Promising review: "We named him Herbie; we use him for hand sanitizer, and he’s absolutely wonderful!!" —G.
