1. 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

2. A kneeling chair that'll give your aching back some major relief by letting you switch up positions throughout the day. The clever design helps you sit upright, gives your lower back a break, and helps your blood flow...despite your grueling desk job.
Promising review: "This chair has the tilted seat, which you need to truly benefit from a kneeling-style chair. It is also adjustable both on the seat height [and] on the knee height making it highly customizable for people short and tall. I have chronic hip and lower back pain despite being young and healthy and this has saved me when I need to sit and work at the computer. I have a standing desk with a balance board as well but you can't stand all day for some kinds of work, so this chair has been great." —Jaime Bauer
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors).
3. A gold candle snuffer sure to look sinfully chic displayed beside your candle collection. Use this to extinguish your candles without blowing them out (helping avoid spreading embers and wax).
Promising review: "This snuffer does the job. I bought it to snuff out my tea candles so that I'm not blowing wax everywhere. It works perfectly. I like the weight and it looks very pretty sitting on the mantle. The price is perfect also." —Mary Lesane
"This is a candle must-have! I used to blow my candles out but sometimes I get nervous I’ll blow ember all over the place, no good. But this helps snuffing out the candles." —Jennifer Frances Castro
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
4. A 3D-printed wearable "chopstick" for folks who love snackin' at work almost as much as they hate a salty, sticky keyboard. 3D printing is making this world a better place, people!
Ridha 3D Printing is a family-run, Dallas-based Etsy shop established in 2021 that specializes in 3D-printed gadgets and toys.
Promising review: "Perfect for what I wanted it for. Now I can game on my PC and eat snacks without getting my mouse and keyboard dirty! Thank you, such an amazing invention. 😊" —Leilani Calderon
Get it from Ridha 3D Printing on Etsy for $4.90+ (available in 23 colors and two styles).
5. A BedJet cooling and warming system so you can control the temperature of your BED at night, even with the covers on. This specific detail is crucial when you know that keeping even one leg out of the covers means the monsters WILL get you. We know the facts.
This sweet setup uses biorhythm sleep technology. It's programmed to change the temperature each hour of the night to help you sleep better. You can also set the temperature to whatever degree you'd like – just use the remote! If you're a cold sleeper, you can also set it to heat mode and it'll warm you up 15 times faster than a regular ol' blanket! To set it up, plug the unit into an outlet, slip the teeny tube under your sheets, set your preferred temperature, and you'll be g2g!
Promising review: "First time I have ever been moved to write a review on Amazon but this is the single most amazing product if you sleep hot! This thing WORKS and it is saving my life! It only took a NASA engineer to solve my propensity to burst into to flames every night at 2 a.m.!" —Matthes
Get it from Amazon for $139+ (available in four kit styles).
6. A diffuser for cats to make sure at least one room in your house smells attractive to their sensitive schnoz. Cats hate the smell of juuuust about everything, but reviewers say this soothing sent has brought out the best in their furry friends!
I have this plug-in in my bedroom. I love having candles around and so it was important to me to make sure there was always a room in my place that smelled good to my cats. I really don't smell the diffuser at all, but they sure seem to notice! Whenever I have it on they go straight for the bedroom and chill out. It's great.
Promising review: "We are a multi-cat home. My cat Lou is very skittish and nervous. She seems agitated and sometimes aggressive. She’s nervous with new people and usually doesn’t come out. So we decided to try this. It took about a day but she seems more calm to me with others in the house. She doesn’t hiss at the other cats as much. She looks more relaxed and likes to come out more, even with new people around. I am pretty satisfied with the product. I think I works! It’s not a miracle solution but it does the a good job calming our stressed cat. She is still sassy but just seems to be more at peace with the world now! That makes me happy!" —Chai–T
Get it from Amazon for $30.95.
7. A split cereal bowl that'll be beloved by people who can't stand soggy cereal. Food touching would be a criminal act, if I was in charge of things.
Promising review: "This product is something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I’m being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I’ll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." —Sarah F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors and in multi-packs).
8. A splurge-worthy wall-mounted electric towel warmer — with this, you can always have a toasty-warm towel after a shower or bath. Reviewers also use this to warm up their pajamas before bed! Sigh, I love that for them.
Promising review: "This towel warmer is amazing. I was looking for something with a built-in timer and an in-wall cable installation that doesn’t have an ugly box outside of it. I love how the cable is integrated into the leg. The install was very difficult on my end due to trying to fish power from my attic to the bathroom and the hole being 1/2 inch. I didn’t have any power outlets nearby. Totally worth it. It does get very warm and my small bathroom doesn’t have a heater in it so I was surprised how warm the bathroom was! An added bonus!" —Terrace
Get it from Amazon for $298.85 (available in three colors).
9. 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 $11.99 (available in ten pack styles/sizes).
10. An overnight tank cleaner can make your toilet tank clean as can be while *you* enjoy a snooze. Catch some ZZZs and wake up to a task that's completely taken care of.
Promising review: "According to the instructions I was supposed to use the whole bottle but being that it was so big and that I had two toilets to clean, I only used half. I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960s and I doubt it's been cleaned within the last few decades. In the 'after' photo you can see that there is still some rust left over but large chunks fell off the sides and can be seen on the bottom of the tank." —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $12.57.
11. A hairbrush cleaning tool for anyone who would rather avoid brushing their hair with a hair-and-dust-covered brush. Once strands of hair have left our heads they are quite a fright. Just ask your shower drain.
Promising review: "This is the tool I never knew I needed. It may seem like a silly thing to spend money on when you can clean your brush out by hand but this gets so much more out of the brush! It's easy and rather enjoyable. Who wants to brush their nice clean hair with a brush full of dirty oily hair and dust. When you really think about it makes you want to throw out all your old brushes. I will be buying these as gifts for all my girlfriends." —emmaline
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
12. A wireless scanning pen that'll genuinely help you study smarter, not harder. This frighteningly futuristic pen copies notes for you *and* reads what you're scanning, making sure you are copying down the right info. The big bonus? That extra repetition helps add to your comprehension and memorization.
See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the best product I have ever bought. It has cut my flashcard-making time down by at least half. I ordered it thinking it might be okay, but it worked way better than I ever expected it to. Once you learn how to use it (which doesn't take that much time) and scan at the right speed and angle, the mistakes will be minimal. There are still far less mistakes than when I just type it myself, and it is way faster than typing. This has completely changed my entire school experience. On top of that, the customer service is great. I got a new computer and couldn't find the product key to reinstall it. I sent them an email, and I got a new product key in a few hours. Anyone who makes flashcards on a computer needs to buy this product." —Josh
Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in six color).
13. An AirFly wireless transmitter so you can connect your AirPods (or wireless headphones) to your airplane's screen, 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).
14. An Apple AirTag designed to digitize anything you may have a hard time keeping track of and help you find it with ease. Ahem, come here Fluffy.
Promising reviews: "I bought this for my dog: he’s a runner! If he ever gets loose, he takes off and gives us a scare. Now I can track him down with ease using my own phone and seeing him on a map. It’s such a relief to have his location easily on my phone. The attachment to his collar is also for sale on Amazon, and attaches the tag to his collar easily and comfortably. He has no idea it’s there!" —Perrie
"Love my two AirTags, one on my wallet and one on my keys. Easily go to the 'find my' app on your iPhone and under 'things' track either item. They even make a sound so you can hear and it will guide you down to the half step of whatever you decide to use them for! Perfect!" —Josh & Sav
Get it from Amazon for $29.
15. An undetectable mouse jiggler for folks working at home who need to stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack. Get this nifty gadget if you'd prefer not explaining to your team that you were M.I.A. so long because the chatty food deliverer wanted to know why you only ordered cream cheese rangoons and a large coffee for lunch.
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight styles).
16. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser so you can keep your bread in an airtight container (because those plastic bags are *not* pulling their weight). Reviewers say this can keep your bread fresh far longer, and keep it smush-free!
Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.
Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes unique household products.
Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig
Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available in two colors).
17. A front seat organizer designed with two extra drink holders and a catchall spot for 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 $21.99+ (available in six colors).
18. An Icebreaker that doubles as both a silicone mold and a germ-free dispenser. This gadget is leak-proof *and* dishwasher safe. Use this if you'd prefer not letting your family's grubby hands dig through all your fresh, clean ice cubes.
Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business established in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five colors).
19. A USB car diffuser so you can bask in some aromatherapy and humidification on the go. This fits easily into your cupholder for a spill-free setup and works with water and your fave essential oils. Driving in traffic is a lot less bothersome with the scent of lavender soothing your senses!
Promising review: "I love this little essential oil diffuser! It works really well in my car — diffuses either a steady stream or 30 second intervals. Buttons are on top, so I don't have to lift it out of the cup holder to turn it on or off. I also like that the light feature button is separate, so I don't have to have it on while the diffuser is running. One of my favorite Amazon purchases so far." —Cristina C.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
20. An anti-slip steering wheel cover that'll prevent your hands from getting third-degree burns when your car has been sitting in the sun so long that the steering wheel has become a ring of fire.
Promising review: "First of all I love the way it looks. Very comfortable on my hand. The mesh and leather combination gives it a unique look and makes it comfortable to hold in cold or hot weather. It wasn't too hard to put on. I managed to put it on on my own without any tools but it is still gripped on to the steering wheel." —Cesar Vargas
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four colors).
21. A luggage drink caddy designed with two roomy pockets for drinks, water bottles, snacks, your phone, and whatever toy your child refuses to travel without (and refuses to carry the entire time you're in the airport).
Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it’s my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 26 styles).

23. 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.
24. A spiffy humidifier tank cleaner – a cartridge that'll "swim" around the water in your humidifier. This'll help inhibit the growth of buildup in the tank for up to 30 days. These results are so good they almost seem ~fishy~ but reviewers swear by this!
25. A Shark Tank-favorite Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier can give 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).
26. A UV black light flashlight to help you finally solve once and fur all where your cats have been secretly peeing. Thank goodness.
Promising review: "OMG this is disgusting!!! I hope this isn't all just cat pee that shows up cause there is a lot! I bought this because I thought my cat was peeing in one room and couldn't find the exact spot so I bought this. Found the spot and more. Would recommend." —Momof3boys
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
27. 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 $14.98+ (available in three sizes).
28. A surprisingly useful Oxo Tot grape cutter for parents who never expected so much of their time to be spent cutting fruit into safe-to-eat pieces. This time-savor is going to be your favorite thing this side of snack time!
See why one parent on TikTok loves it here!
Promising review: "When we went to search Amazon for 'grape cutters,' I was worried that we may have hit rock bottom. It doesn't get more simple than slicing a freaking grape. I mean it's not difficult, doesn't take an enormous amount of time, and isn't even really that inconvenient (at least no more than cutting any other toddler food)...yet, my wife and I found ourselves dreading the process every time our daughter wanted a handful of grapes. We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong. It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. I only take time to write reviews on products that I feel are truly worth my time to endorse, and this little gadget was more than worthy. If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...you won't regret it." —Michael

29. A set of soda can "lids" so you can transform any canned beverage into a portable bottle. Grab this little can hat and keep drinks fresh longer while making them easy to travel with!

Check out a TikTok of the laptop belt in action.
Promising review: "This product is a lifesaver for a teacher on the go. I use it for my iPad Pro and my school issued laptop. I no longer drop things as I move place to place! Just the basics will fit, pen, cards, small writing tablet." —Elementary Techy Teacher
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors).
31. A glass desktop dry-erase board for folks (like me) who have the awful habit of hoarding random papers and sticky notes whenever an idea or important reminder pops into their mind. This was designed for eliminating that waste *and* making sure your desk stays neat and organized.
Promising reviews: "Best product TikTok made me buy! This is the best thing I've ever bought myself for work! I haven't used a sticky note since I got it." —SdGoddess
"This thing is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend for those of you working from home. I needed a white board but really didn’t have the space nor did I think a stand up board would be functional for me. This is the perfect solution. I have it set out right below my extra monitor and it is at my fingertips whenever I need to jot down an action item for myself. It has significantly helped to reduce my number of sticky notes. Helps to make my desk space cleaner and more efficient looking which helps me to work better. The black marker that comes with it has a nice little eraser on the top that is sufficient for any erasing needs. I did also buy a pack of thin dry-erase markers to go with it. Also you can put the cord for your computer under the white board. There is a little gap that is about half an inch tall or so. Highly recommend!"—Shannon
Get it from Amazon for $31.29+ (available in five styles).
32. A wireless endoscope gadget with a teeny tiny camera on the end so you can check on drains, peek behind walls, and look around teeny crevices. If you're a new homeowner, this thing is sure to give you peace of mind!
Promising review: "This camera works so well it’s almost a joke. An overhead light in my boat’s cabin had severed wire. The hole to access the wire is not even 1/2” in diameter, and the gap in the ceiling is only 2” tall. Adjusted the semi rigid cable, located the severed wire, went back in with the hook attached, and voila!" —the family cook
Get it from Amazon for $27.89.
33. Felt pads that'll protect wood and tile flooring from the race your kids have to the tv after family dinner. If you've never realized what damage a dining room chair can do...get these so you don't have to find out.
Promising review: "Just got a new house with all new wood floors. Every piece of furniture needed felt 'feet.' I found this package on Amazon and hoped it would do the trick for all of my furniture. When I received it (quickly no less) I thought it was too small of a package to get the job done, but once I started with the dining room table and six chairs I realized there was plenty in the package to add a dot to every bit of furniture I needed to 'shoe.' It was easy to adhere and now everything scoots like a dream." —Robyn Restel
Get a box of 181 pads from Amazon for $13.91.
34. A bamboo burner cover for folks who could really use some extra counter space in their criminally little kitchen.
BuzzFeeder Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for helping her cook with ease:
"OK so I bought this for my own tiny apartment (pictured above) and OMG you guys. Life = changed. Food = chopped. Counter space = doubled. I mean the math is all there."
Promising review: "This is so perfect for extra space. It covers the top of my apartment-sized stove so I can then use my stove space for my Instant Pot and food prep. The best space-saving and cosmetic thing I have ever gotten for this tiny apartment." —Talyn Amber Skye
