    48 Products Young Adults Have Probably Learned They Need, The Hard Way

    Life is hard, but these products can make it a lot easier.

    1. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to clean out your rental's sink before your landlord decides to dispose of your deposit.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78 (also available in a 24-pack).

    2. A set of silicone oven rack edge protectors — these can easily be cut to size, they are dishwasher safe, and they're heat resistant up to a whopping 482 degrees. If you, like me, are afraid of your oven, these covers are the burn-free security you need. 

    Promising review: "These things are awesome. Not only are they attractive and reasonably priced, but are so easy to put on and they stay on the rack. Most important, I find they help to protect your arm when reaching into the oven from getting any bad burns. Highly recommend these, I'm so happy with them I'm buying a set for my mom and daughters-in-law." —Sandi 

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two colors). 

    3. The ToiletShroom, a flexible unclogging tool that's gonna move deep into your pipes, getting those pesky clogs *and* squeegeeing things clean at the same time.

    PS, this includes a caddy!

    Promising review: "Honestly I didn't think this was going to work, BUT I am so glad I was wrong! I love how easy it is to use and most of all, how QUICKLY it unclogs my toilet!!! I just shove it down the toilet hole, use the motion of pushing it in and out a couple of times, take it out completely, and the toilet drains with ease! I'm not using all my strength to unclog toilets anymore, and no worries about nasty toilet water splashing everywhere, and it cleans super easily...BEST THING I EVER BOUGHT ON THE INTERNET!!!" —Laura

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    4. A dryer vent coil brush because you shouldn't ~brush off~ cleaning your dryer when you remember what life was like back when you had to take everything to the laundromat instead of just down the hall.

    Grim. Life was grim.

    Promising review: "We are in love! This thing cleans so well and gets all the way down the line and around the corner. Its wide bristles really help get all the lint out and even help scrub some of the really stuck in their pieces off. We use this regularly now to clean out the vent!" —Leslie

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    5. A cooling gel so once you reach the age where you start feeling random kinks in your neck and pain in your shoulders and joints, you can freeze it in its tracks. Warning: those aches come sooner than you think! Sigh.

    Promising review: "This cream is very strong. They used it at the physical therapy department my husband went to after back surgery. He liked it so much that I ordered him some. This is the best cream out there." —C. Wallace

    Get it from Amazon for $11.90.

    6. A pack of septic-safe dishwasher-cleaning tablets to obliterate mineral buildup and odors. If a washer is dirty...is it even a washer at all?

    a reviewer image of the same dishwasher labeled

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I used it in my dishwasher. Had standing water on the bottom, dropped one tablet in the water. Put it on light wash cycle and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super and after my positive experience I am happy to cosign his recommendation." —cheapchicshopper

    7. A spiffy blind spot mirror that'll make you a parallel parking pro. Your bumper can't wait to thank you.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I bought these to put on the mirrors of my 1994 Dodge Ram pickup with a camper shell to drive from Ohio to California. These were a life saver! I was skeptical of the size at first but they turned out to be perfect!" —Kindle Reader

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.97.

    8. A roll-up drying rack — this is made with metal grates covered in soft silicone for preventing scratches and it takes up basically no storage space. Roll this on top of the sink when in use and tuck it away in a drawer when the dishes are done! It dries fast, so no worries about drippings in your drawers.

    Promising review: "This is very sturdy and it allows air into cups, pans, etc. to dry easily – unlike a drying pad. It holds heavy pans with no problem. The color is soft and goes great with my white and gray countertops and it's extremely functional. It's easy to clean, just roll it up and store it under the sink. Highly recommend. 👍🏻" —Denise

    Get it from Amazon for $25.48+ (available in two sizes). 

    9. A pack of Downy fabric spray — with this, you're *finally* gonna rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases, once you realize you actually care about crinkles and creases. 

    BuzzFeed Shopping Writer Danielle Healy says: "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."

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.

    10. A TubShroom (you know, the tiny plastic tube that has over 19,000 5-star reviews!) that'll protect you from things lurking in your drain.

    Promising review: "I preach and swear by the TubShroom. It is an utter lifesaver 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 $12.95+ (available in five colors or a two-pack).

    11. A can of oven cleaner — a quick spray of this stuff can eat up baked-in stains in an instant.

    Promising review: "I'm a little embarrassed to write this review; it's been six years since my last oven cleaning. After seeing the results, I couldn't help but spread the word. Sure, it took some beer, a little John Mayer, and a lot of elbow grease, but I got the job done, thanks to this handy little product. It did require two treatments; however, given the circumstances, this product accomplished quite a feat in just an hour." —William Fredericks

    Get it from Amazon for $11.74.

    12. A Squatty Potty that'll make using the bathroom a breeze for your bowels, so you'll no longer feel down in the ~dumps~ when constipation comes your way.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I like to poop. It's literally the first thing I do in the morning. This makes it even more enjoyable. I bought this about a month ago for my wife and I. We are pretty healthy people and have no 'problems' when it comes to #2. But with this you just sit down, put your feet up, and bombs away! It feels like a straight pipe coming from your colon. Remember those difficult to push out BM's? No more! With just a slight push, you are done. Gravity takes over, and out it comes. This is how the human body was designed to poop. We literally pooped like this for thousands of years! I recommend this to all my friends, who laugh at me until they try it. Stop making it hard on yourself when you poop. This is by far the best bathroom accessory you can buy!" —jjl1911

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two sizes).

    13. A couple of snow traction boards — these could save the day if your car gets in an icy or muddy area and seems dead-set on staying stuck.

    reviewer's car in deep snow after camping

    Promising review: "I've used these boards in multiple scenarios — once in 10-14" of snowfall when we were inches from a drop off. These boards are magic! I even used them to help a fella in Chevy Avalanche who had BFG ATs. We were a three-hour drive from cell service. I am a believer! Additionally, I use a rooftop tent and used these to level the vehicle on uneven ground. Even in -10*F temps they did not crack, and I have a fully loaded three-quarter-ton Excursion. After several recoveries and parking on them overnight several times as well, they are still good as new. Not a single bend, crack, or melt." —Thomas

    Get them from Amazon for $70.90.

    14. A bagel guillotine which, despite its delightfully dreadful name, is just about the safest way you could ever slice a bagel. Grab this and you can make breakfast (no matter how hungover) without the fear of losing a digit.

    reviewer's tool with bagel inside

    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).

    15. A box of hair dye wipes so you don't look like you're bleeding from the scalp after adding a little auburn to your 'do.

    Promising review: "These are the same quality wipes I buy from professional only supply stores. They're my absolute favorite for getting dark color from around my clients hairline/ears. The trick is to wipe it off before it dries. It's great that these are disposable as well." —Jason

    Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $9.97.

    16. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy.

    Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action! 

    Promising review: “There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can’t live without. And then above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex and said, 'We’ve got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.” —Carobnty

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two sizes and in multi-packs).

    17. 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 $34.99+ (available in two styles). 

    18. A keychain bracelet that'll help those of us who suffer through playing an eternal game of hide-and-seek with our house/car keys.

    Wichita, Kansas is the home of Tart Design Co., where owner Claire Tourtillott creates one-of-a-kind home goods and accessories. Tourtillott refers to her design style as a happy medium "where sweet and sour designs meet."

    Promising review: "This is my favorite thing. I used to lose my keys and this has been by my side since it got delivered. It’s so convenient and cute! I also bought my mom one and she loves it. Thank you for the color options! It’s so hard to choose." —Marina Fuller

    Get it from Tart Design Co. on Etsy for $15.50+ (available in 16 band colors and seven charm styles).

    19. A tomato knife to make chopping up this pesky piece of produce tomat-oh so easy!

    Amazon, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

    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.

    20. A pair of computer glasses with a lens that'll keep your eyes from aching when you're staring at screens all day. If you work at a desk, it's time to put on a pair of these pretties.

    Each pair of glasses is slightly tinted to filter out the intense blue light of computer and phone screens. My coworker wrote about how you need these glasses if you work at a computer all day, and I think I better listen.

    Promising review: "These are exactly what was advertised. They are lightly tinted but still remove a decent amount of blue light. They are lightweight and quite comfortable for me. And my wife even says they look good on me, too. I am going to buy another pair for my work office." —Donald Sensing

    Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 14 strengths and five colors).

    21. A bottle of makeup brush shampoo so you can stop making your skin dirty when tryn'a look fresh.

    The same brushes after being washed, now in completely different shades, pink, orange, and red

    Promising review: "Well, I can happily say that this cleaner does a bang-up job! My brushes were saturated with old color, to the point that I thought I might need to spring for a new set. Aside from just looking bad, though, all that old color was probably affecting pigment and application any time I used them. A little of this cleaner, a handful of seconds working it in and rinsing, and my brushes look practically as good as the day I bought them! Saved me a ton of money in new brushes, and it didn't take away from my being-lazy time!" —J

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two sizes, a two-pack and also in sheets). 

    22. U-shaped shelving system — this is gonna give you so much usable storage space you just might finally find the spices you actually need to cook with.

    Promising review: "Product is perfect for what I need it to do. Fits just right, is more than sturdy enough, and has made my absolutely nightmarish spice cabinet look awesome. No more duplicate spices going bad in the back of the cabinet! It’s not at all difficult to assemble. Watch the assembly videos (they’re short) before you start opening the parts bags. Otherwise it’s easy to get intimidated by all of the extra pieces." —Congaree

    Get them from Amazon for $27.99.

    23. ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller so that cleanup is a breeze. The best part? It doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets but woof, shedding is their greatest skill.

    Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

    Get it from Amazon for $28.95

    24. A bleach-free weekly shower spray — this both cleans your shower *and* prevents soap scum buildup in the future. Spray this in the shower once a week before bed, go snooze, wash it off in the a.m. and then your shower is gonna be shining, shimmering, and splendid.

    Get it from Amazon for $18.61+ (available in two sizes). 

    25. A microwave cleaner — it's gonna save your microwave from your messiest leftovers. Bring it on, spaghetti.

    Promising review: "This is something I didn't believe until I tried it. All it took was a quick swipe with a paper towel and GONE. It loosened everything, and it was sooo white once cleaned!! I would buy these as gifts." —Max's Mum

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).

    26. A leaf blower/vacuum with a built-in mulcher. The angled snout of this blower makes cleaning in awkward spots (like under your deck) a cinch. Grab this and you can suck up all that hidden gunk when you're working on home improvement projects inside and out.

    Reviewer's back driveway covered in leaves
    Leaves gone after use

    This can chop up to 16 bags of leaves so they fit into just one bag!

    Promising review: "I have two very large red oak trees in my yard and they tend to dump a lot of leaves all over my yard and my neighbor's yard. Before this arrived, I blew them into a pile awaiting the shipment so I could mulch them up. I previously had a mulching attachment for my line trimmer and it wasn't that great, but it did the job. In comparison, this was far better. It had rained the morning before I tried this out, so the leaves were wet, which made the work a little slower than with dry leaves, but it still worked. It did get bogged down one time, but I was overfilling the bag when it happened, so it was partly my fault. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a mulching vac." —Matt Hamilton

    Get it from Amazon for $57.70.

    27. A bumper sticker remover — attach this to a drill to easily remove bumper stickers that have seen better days.

    Promising review: "Bought a used car to get back and forth to work. Only problem being the back was covered in bumper stickers. Eleven to be exact. I don't like bumper stickers. At all. This removed all of them in 25–30 minutes total no problem. Still has probably half the wheel left so I stuck it in my garage toolbox in case I need to eradicate any bumper stickers in the future." —PrestidgeSouthside

    Get one from Amazon for $17.99 (also available as a two-pack).

    28. A rust-removing gel spray — this stuff makes cleaning so easy you might wish you could use it on all the ~rust~ of your chores too.

    Promising review: "We have a VERY high iron concentration in our well water at home and it ends up slowly turning our shower, sink, and toilet a deep orange color over time. Have tried a ton of products to try to fix this issue but nothing works nearly as well as this product. Smells absolutely terrible but works AMAZING. A few spritzes of this and you can watch the orange dissolve away before your eyes. I use this formula for the sink and inside of the shower and use the powder formula for inside the toilet as that seems to work better there. As stated earlier, the smell is awful and lingers until you rinse everything down so definitely have windows open when using this product." —Samantha

    Get it from Amazon for $4.97.

    29. A dishwasher safe garlic peeler — simply toss your garlic in, press down, and roll to get perfectly peeled garlic in seconds. This is gentle enough to keep your freshly peeled garlic cloves intact while the grip from the material will keep the peelings inside as your cloves pop out, making meal prep simple.

    This includes a ventilated case for storage.

    Promising review: "OK, this is DEFINITELY not a gimmick! Follow the instructions and this will save you time and sanity in the kitchen! Roll it with minimal pressure and it works like a champ. It also rinses very easily and dries quick. The case has holes on either end to ensure it dries completely in between uses when you toss it in a drawer. I will never hand/knife smash garlic and fight with those pesky skins sticking to everything ever again." —ThatKasper

    Promising review: "This product works great! I love the telescoping function – the press of a button adjusts the length and locks it in place at increments, with the ability to adjust the brush end at angles. It's well designed and well worth the price IMO, and I'm a mechanical engineer by trade. The brush end didn't clog up the snow around the bristles like I've experienced with some lower quality brushes. The squeegee side opposite the brush is a nice feature and works well to do a final pass along the window after brushing snow off the windshield. The scraper works great too. I will definitely buy another for my spouse." —Tamara J. Phillips

    This is also great for noise reduction and preventing some critters and creepy crawlies from making their way in.

    Promising review: "So easy to set up! All you do is peel tape and adhere to a CLEAN and DRY door. Also looks great, I don't even notice it. I had a huge gap under my door. I could smell and hear everything from the hallway. Smells, drafts, and sound all are less of an issue now." —Brit B.

    34. A pack of pimple patches that'll blast away blemishes in the blink of an eye. Acne was *supposed* to stop after our teenager years...AND YET.

    Promising review: "OK, these things are truly miracle workers! They are now a staple in my medicine cabinet! I get really big, cysty pimples that are super deep and painful a couple of times a month. IF I can not pick at them, which is a struggle if I'm honest, I can get them to go away in about three days with these patches and some inexpensive acne cream. I go through the larger sizes pretty fast because the patch needs to be a good bit bigger than the pimple to stick really well. You'll absolutely see visible reduction in size and get tremendous pain relief overnight. I would highly recommend!" —Courtney Maddox

    35. A fridge deodorizer — this is effective for up to six months *and* it claims to keep your produce fresh longer. Just looking at this makes my leftover-filled fridge feel fresher! My sad box of baking soda is about to be displaced.

    Promising review: "This is an awesome product. Despite our refrigerator’s filter, the ice in the open bin in the freezer was developing odors. This is so much better than baking soda. I can’t believe the difference. The product itself doesn’t seem to have an odor; it just neutralizes the freezer smell so that there is no smell at all. We had even purchased a new ice bin thinking the old bin was the problem. I wish I had figured out this cheaper solution first. I hope it’s still available when it’s time to replace!" —Marell

    I love this product so much I am willing to share a photo of it shoved up my nose just to show one off! I tried so many snoring solutions (I'm an actual monster, you do NOT want to hear me sleep) with no luck. I couldn't fall asleep with mouth guards and the different sprays I tried just seemed like snake oil. I used nose strips for a while, but they would fall off at night and didn't do much. These clips WORK! The magnets keep it secure in my nose and it's a cinch to fall asleep, the clips are that comfortable. Plus it looks less dweebie than basically any other physical product I've tried. And snoring? That's a thing of the past.

    38. A 10-piece storage set for keeping your leftovers and meal-prepped masterpieces heckin' fresh.

    Promising review: "This is my third set because I ADORE them! Tight fit, stack perfectly in my fridge, freeze well, and microwave well with vented sides when latches are up! They have been dropped, tipped over and quite frankly brutally beaten up by my crew and they haven't cracked or broken to date! Even better, the lids store well! Honestly the best containers I've owned! *Gazes into cabinet and realizes adulting is weird when you are this excited to review plastic containers.*" —K McB

    40. A digital food thermometer — this is gonna take the (terrifying) guess work out of preparing meat. It's always nice to know you won't be giving your guests salmonella when having a dinner party.

    Promising review: "This digital meat thermometer is the best I've ever had. I own others but they are either too bulky to fit in the drawer, or too hard to read. This one is small, lightweight, it's easy to pull out the probe, and very easy to read the temperature. I purchased several as stocking stuffers for Christmas – just three months away! I highly recommend getting several with the holidays coming up. They make a gift that will be appreciated for it's size and ease of use, but, most importantly, it will be a gift that gets used instead of put away in the closet." —Kat29

    41. A bottle of Poo Pourri if you're in a new relationship and realize sharing a bathroom with your significant other really ~stinks~ — if you both spray this into your toilet bowl before you go, it won't have to!

    Promising review: "We are a family of six in a small one-bathroom house. This is, to put it lightly, a horrific nightmare — particularly after my teenage son spends some time in the bathroom. After a couple of weeks of gentle encouragement ('YOU ARE KILLING EVERYONE. SPRAY THAT STUFF ON THE WATER BEFORE YOU POOP OR I'M TAKING AWAY YOUR PHONE AND, SO HELP ME GOD, I WILL CALL YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND TELL HER EXACTLY WHY YOU GOT IT TAKEN AWAY.') he started using it regularly. The bathroom is much less disgusting now after he leaves." —Supa D

    42. A 10-piece mixing bowl set you can use as mixing bowls, serving dishes, leftover containers, and the family popcorn bowls. I own these and have told my whole family to get them. You all were next on my list! Get them.

    Five bowls of different sizes, each with a lid

    I bought these bowls after a coworker found them (oh yeah, I'm totally a sucker for BuzzFeed shopping posts) and I can't help but rave about them! They all nest easily, which makes storing simple in my tiny Brooklyn kitchen, and the lids are a major bonus for storing leftovers. They're also practically indestructible – my cat has knocked these off the counter as a set and individually (he's a monster) and they've held up great!

    Promising review: "I love these bowls! Not only are they pretty, but they are the right size for my everyday needs. I honestly think I've used one of them nearly every day since I got them. I'm extremely happy with my purchase." —J Owens

    43. 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.

    44. A pair of foldable flats you can pull out of your bag (or pocket, honestly) when your toes aren't taking another step in your heels and you need a pair of fab flats to save the day.

    Promising review: "I purchased these ballet flats because I hate wearing heels, but sometimes occasions happen where you must wear them. At a recent black tie event, I hid these flats in my clutch. About 45 minutes in, I kicked the heels off my aching feet and put these on. I never took them off. Other women were jealous!" —Phyllis

    45. handle cover so the only thing you might possibly risk burning is your food.

    Promising review: "This is an absolute necessity with a cast iron and skillet! My skillet has a cast-iron handle and this silicone cover fits nice and tight. You have to work with it to get it on, but that's a good thing. Love it, I'm going to get more for my copper chef pans because they are steel and get hot too." —Debbie

    46. An inconspicuous jar opener, because you're not gonna let 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

    47. A utility market cart that'll help you put the peddle to the metal on rush grocery trips. Gotta get that ice cream home before it melts!

    Promising review: "I bought this cart because I want to walk more and grocery trips will require help. This cart was inexpensive so I was afraid it might be super cheap. It got here quickly and was very easy to assemble. It folds up nicely and is pretty light. The wheels don't swivel so when I am walking home with groceries I will be careful not to drag it sideways. It is sturdy enough for what I need it for but if you are wanting seriously sturdy you need to drop over 50 bucks on it." —Bonnie Hunt

    48. And finally, 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
