1. A silicone bacon bin for the best and cutest way to store and dispose of grease. You know all that nasty grease left on the bottom of the pan that you never know what to do with? Just pour it into this silicone container, and place it in the fridge. It'll harden, and once the container is full, squeeze the solidified grease in the trash. Easy, mess-free, and freaking adorable.
2. An over-the-door shelf to hold extra baking sheets, cutting boards, and pretty much anything else your kitchen has no room for. Hang it over a cabinet door, and you'll gain a ton of extra storage without spending a ton of money.
3. A hair strengthening oil that works on all hair types and that reviewers say seriously helps their hair grow. The cult favorite comes with more than 14,000 5-star ratings, and if your dry scalp and split ends could use a little help, this will be the best $9 you spend.
4. A nonslip runner rug to spruce up your hallway and keep your feet warm when you have to go to the bathroom at 2 a.m. The latex backing keeps it from sliding so you don't need an additional rug pad, and the geometric pattern is the perfect way to add a design accent to an otherwise boring and empty hallway.
5. A Dash mini waffle maker that's a huge Amazon fave with over 180,000 5-star reviews from fellow waffle-lovers. The tiny little appliance is only four inches big, but makes the most delicious, crispy waffles every time.
6. A pair of velvet slippers with feather pom-poms that are beautiful and feel like you're walking on memory foam clouds. Replace those stinky old slippers with this pair that comes in nine pretty colors — from this sweet, light pink to a chic black.
7. A bamboo charging station so you can charge all your devices at the same time, in the same spot. The bamboo design dresses it up so it's nice enough to place on your nightstand or desk, and on top of having slots for your phone or tablet, it also has a designated spot for your watch and earbuds.
8. An electric spin scrubber if you've been on a January cleaning kick. Instead of wearing yourself out scrubbing the floor, get this cordless scrubber, and it'll do all the work for you with literally minimal effort on your part. Now that's the kind of cleaning we can get on board with!
9. An 11-piece cookware set that's nonstick so you don't have to worry about cleaning burnt pans after every meal. This beautiful set is made from white granite and looks so nice, you won't even feel bad about skipping the serving dishes and putting these pots and pans straight on the dining table.
10. A 50-pack of slim velvet hangers if 2023 is the year you're finally planning to clean out your closets. These hangers take up way less space than those bulky plastic ones so you'll actually gain more space, plus they'll make your closet look super chic no matter how tiny it is.
11. A set of three storage bags so you have somewhere to store all these bulky winter coats once spring finally arrives. The fabric bags can fit a ton of stuff; plus, they have a clear front panel so you don't have to rummage through five of them just to find the jacket you need.
12. A freestanding toilet paper holder that's perfect for a small space. It looks super sleek, and you can store up to four additional rolls on the stand, so you (or your guests!) never have a TP emergency.
13. A sofa-arm drink holder to hold your bev in place so you don't have to move allllll the way to the coffee table to grab your glass or can. It stays put and fits various types of sofa arms without the hazard of it tipping over.
14. A six-pack of fade-resistant towels that have over 45,000 5-star reviews and are under $20 if you can believe it. If your towels are looking a little drab (as in, old and ratty), grab this set and you'll wonder why it took you so long.
15. A set of two loaf tins if you miss the banana bread days of 2020. They have a nonstick coating so your bread, pound cake, or meatloaf will pop out easily, and you won't have to try to maneuver it out with four different utensils.
16. A rapid food cutter that's the kitchen gadget you never knew you needed — unless you're always accidentally slicing your finger while cutting cherry tomatoes, in which case, you know you need this.
17. A sleek plant stand so you can display your pride and joy, aka your fiddle leaf fig tree, in style. It can be used inside and outside, and also doubles as a cute little side table.
18. A set of two white counter stools so your friends finally have a spot to sit while you cook a supposed 30-minute meal that's somehow taking all night. They come in two heights and three colors to accommodate your kitchen, and for under $100, they're a total steal.
19. A non-skid lazy Susan to organize your fridge so you don't need to rummage through 3,468 bottles before reaching the mustard. You could also use it in the pantry or on your countertops — it's an inexpensive and neat way to gain more space and access.
20. A 10-pack of Swedish dish cloths that are a great alternative to disposable paper towels. They have an overall 4.6-star rating from more than 48,000 (!!!) people who say they work really well and are still just as good after going through the wash multiple times.
21. A microwavable heating pad for your neck and shoulders that'll warm you up after a walk in the frigid winter temps. Besides that, the 5-pound heating pad also helps reduce stress and tension and promotes relaxation, which we could all use this time of year.
22. An adorable mushroom-shaped fridge deodorizer to eliminate any funky odors. Just take the red part off, pour in some baking soda, and pop it in the fridge. It'll keep everything smelling fresh, and you're bound to smile every time you see the little guy.
23. A silicone crab spoon rest that's both super fun and useful. Place the heat-resistant crab on a cooking pot while your soup simmers away, and either use it to hold your spoon or to keep the lid cracked open.
24. A microwavable popcorn popper because all those cold weather movie marathons are going to require a salty snack. This collapsible silicone popper comes with over 23,000 5-star reviews, and shoppers say it makes the best popcorn ever while being super easy to use.
25. An anti-fatigue floor mat to make doing the dishes a little more bearable. The memory foam surface is way more comfortable to stand on than the cold bare floor, and the thick cushioning is designed to support your back, legs, and knees while you're on your feet.
26. A silicone handle cover that anyone who's ever made the mistake of grabbing a hot skillet will truly appreciate. The heat-resistant cover slips right onto the handle, and it has a non-slip grip, so you don't have to worry about the ridiculously heavy pan accidentally slipping out of your hands.
27. A five-tier ladder bookshelf to add more storage space for all those gifts you received (and gave yourself) over the holidays. The stylish shelf is an amazing budget find for under $80 and is so versatile, it'll work in pretty much any room in your home.
