*Does the absolute bare minimum* *wonders if this is adulting*
Natalie also tested these slippers and said they were surprisingly helpful:
"No, they're definitely not even close to as effective as a broom or even a focused dust mopping would be, but their microfiber bottoms will still pick up *some* dust and grime. When I wore them for a week, I ended up using my feet as little brooms, sweeping everything into one pile that was easier to pick up. So my floors were actually a little cleaner!"

Promising review: "This isn't going to make you like cleaning your blinds, but it does make the process suck a lot less. I was shocked and frankly a little horrified at how much dust this little contraption pulled off the horizontal blinds in my bedroom. The package comes with five cloth covers, which I thought was a bit excessive, but then I went through three of them on three sets of blinds! They cleaned up in the washing machine well, so I expect them to last a while too (I line-dried them). I would buy this handy device again, especially for the price." —KB

Promising review: "We have two dogs, a beagle and a Jack Russell. The little one is a hair machine and this vac does a great job picking up on the stairs, vehicles, and upholstery. It is also good for around the edge of the baseboards in our carpeted bedroom where the regular vacuum can’t reach. The long cord also makes it great for stairs and vehicles. I’ve only had it a couple of weeks, but so far it’s been great." —Bryan J

Promising review: "I was hesitant on the price in the beginning but I was going through WAY to many lint rollers, plus it’s a hassle to carry my vacuum all the way to my bedroom or couch, so I got this and seriously I wish I got this sooner! I can visibly see where my cat's hairs are on my bed and it easily picks it up ON the mattress and ON my fluffy bed sheet. You have to go over it maybe one or two times in one area, but hey it’s not an excessive amount at ALL. I was surprised at how it was capturing all her hair off my sheets. My sister saw me use this and was liking how it worked so she’ll be buying this too!" —Elaine

Promising review: "My dog hasn't had carpeting before and since we moved she has access to two carpeted bedrooms, and has apparently decided those are way better than her potty pad in the kitchen. Keeping her on a schedule and using gates helps, but our currently never-ending Minnesota winter does not. These were great for a mix of cleaning up old spots I hadn't noticed in the second bedroom, and picking up fresh accidents like this morning when she hopped out of bed while I was still sleeping. I love how easy they are; I don't have to get down on my knees to clean. It's amazing to stomp and see the yellow soak up immediately. The stomping is kind of fun too." —K. Affeldt

Promising review: "This is an excellent purifier for those who are affected by cat dander, mold, and other problems associated with breathing difficulties. I have several cats so there is so much hair in the air in addition to their dander. This machine has solved my breathing problems during the night (I use it in my bedroom). In fact I am sleeping better every night, which I'm sure is due to the cleaner air that I am breathing. Another plus is that I'm using a great deal less tissues." —Linda Cruz

Promising review: "I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but...it's totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find... Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." —Brigette

Promising review: "This little guy is great. Normally, my staircase has shoes all over it. Now, the shoes are in their tower by the staircase and it’s pretty awesome...maybe in part because my partner and I can now see who isn’t putting their shoes up! It’s a great, sleek design and takes up so little space. I can walk around with it if I need to because it’s durable and sturdy, and was ridiculously easy to put together. Yes, it’s more than many other shoe trees but it’s worth it for the footprint (or lack thereof!) and that it’s going to last for a really long time." —Skyrocketocelot
Get it from Amazon for $65 (available in black and white).
Promising review: "I didn't know that I had needed this all of my life until I got one for my husband out of desperation. His hangers were all over the house, so I got this to try. I assembled it for him while he was at work and immediately ordered one for myself. It doesn't take up much floor space but holds a ton of my velvet hangers. Much better than any other method I've tried to contain hangers in the past, and it looks really nice. Sturdy and high quality. Easy to assemble." —SavvyShopper
Get it from Amazon for $23.51 (also available in multipacks).
Promising review: "I have a small house, so room is a premium. Seasonal clothing and bedding have always been a chore. While downsizing and consolidating big comforters and heavy clothing, I researched these and thought they seemed to be of better quality than some others I viewed. I was NOT disappointed. They worked great and freed up a ton of room in my small closets. No more quilts falling down every time you open the door. Great quality and price. Highly recommend." —Arlene B. Grace

Check out my coworker's Spacesaver vacuum storage bags review for more deets!
Promising review: "Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" —Jia Yan

BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord swears by hers. In her own words:
"Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture. I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."
Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N

You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review: "I have a full-size bed and two of these fit perfectly underneath! They are a good size and hold a lot of stuff! They are easy to pull out and I like that the zippers open up the all the way unlike some other brands I’ve tried! They seem like they will last a long time which is great!" —Kaurin

Promising review: I am a NEAT FREAK! I love to clean. I literally clean my house daily. It can’t be clean enough. I have a two-story, three-bedroom, three-bathroom house with two dogs. This vacuum cleans all of it! This gadget is legit like a little human vacuuming your floors, but super throughly. It goes over all my rugs and hardwood floors, and it goes in the bathrooms and closets and under all the furniture. Once in a while it gets caught in the wires underneath my TV but most of the time it is able to get itself out of it. It’s quiet. My dogs barely even notice it. This is worth every penny! It’s easy to set up, and easy to clean after each use. It does all the hard work for you. Since I’ve had mine, I’ve literally gotten five friends to buy one and they all love it too." —Shannon

Promising review: "I love this little trash can. I needed something for my bedside for dirty tissues and tossing my diabetic debris when doing my morning injections. This is so easy to use and convenient. For now, I just use a drugstore plastic bag for the trash bag. It's so small; it's hard to find something to fit it. So a small plastic bag or, as some people used, a storage bag works. I got it in black and it blends pretty well in the little nook between my bed and my night table." —K. Brown

Promising review: "Great product. Came quickly and they work great! Such a great idea to keep sheets organized and together while being able to tell what size bedding it is. Will order again for sure!" —devonhansen1

Promising review: "My first reaction was 'Why did I buy this?' Then I gave it a try with a couple shirts I had just washed, and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neat, and easy. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. A must-try! I'm in love with how beautiful it left my clothes." —Jesus Antonio Vedia

It comes with a pencil cup holder, a letter sorter, a letter tray, a hanging file organizer, and a sticky note holder.
Promising review: "I got tired of stacking papers and folders on top of a horizontal tray on my desk. The basket can hold file folders with tabs, which makes important papers easy to organize and find. No more piles upon piles. The tray is for my to-do items. I find myself leaving work on time and not staying late to clean up my desk. I have embellished some of the items with fake rhinestones and have received many compliments on the ensemble." —Kathy

Promising review: "We have a rather deep mattress and added a memory foam topper, which gave our fitted sheet a real stretch to be able to securely tuck at the corners and not slip off. It would hold some of the time, but we frequently had a corner or two slip off during the night. It was disrupting sleep, so I was ready to safety pin the fitted sheet corners in place. However, no need for safety pins. After giving Bed Band a try our fitted sheet slipping problem is solved! The clamp design grips like iron, but the best part is the adjustable bands that allow for a quick final fit after installing the clamps. The other designs require that you adjust the bands first, and then stretch the clamps into place under tension. With Bed Band, you clamp each band into place without tension, then you use the quick adjuster to apply tension as needed. This makes for a much simpler installation, and with a product that by its nature needs to removed and re-installed repeatedly (sheet washing), ease of installation is critical. Bed Bands is the clear design winner here for both function and ease of installation. A stellar product design at an affordable price!" —Huancayo

Promising review: "My husband is an active sleeper so our sheets are always pulling off the corners during the night. I have tried the bed straw, suspenders, you name it. This works! It was still loose at first but I forgot the instructions said if it was loose to tie a knot in it and put it back on. Well two small knots worked wonders. I would give this 10 stars if I could. I had emailed the seller who was very prompt in getting back to me and stayed in touch to make sure I was happy and I appreciate that very much. If your sheets come off this is what you need and I never knew they made it." —L. Grams

This headboard is only for full-sized beds. Have a different size bed? We rounded up some similar headboard that aren't the exact same version as the one pictured above but work for twin beds, queen beds, and king beds.
Promising review: "Love this. It helps me keep items from falling behind the mattress, plus away from my curious cat. It's not too deep (front to back) so it does not take up too much room. Color works well. It has very easy-to-follow directions and I put it together in about 30–45 minutes. I did get one other person to help move it into the bedroom so I did not drag it on my rug." —jd

Promising review: "This is perfect for my son who has a bunk bed, so there is no room for a bedside table. Water, glasses, and books are safely stored at night, so no spills or stepped-on glasses come morning." —Stephanie Olsen

Covogoods is a woman-owned small business based in Utah.
Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one and I’ve been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme

Sound is a small biz started by friends Tommy Kelly and Salim Najjar, who were working together at a power plant when they came up with the idea to start a sparkling beverage company.
Promising review: "I'm always overwhelmed by the amount of sparkling water options and more shocked when I notice that all these brands have the same ingredient profiles: sparkling water and 'natural flavors.' I've found these products taste too fake/chemically (if that's a word) to me, so I was ecstatic when I tried SOUND! They only use single source, organic extracts, which gives a very clean, refreshing experience when consuming and no fake/chemically back-end taste! Extremely enjoyable and the only concern is how fast they'll get consumed in my house!!!!" —Dreamer
