    27 Products That Reviewers Say Was Money Well Spent

    Including a pair of squat-proof leggings we promise aren't see-through, an automatic curling iron, and a doggie mouthwash that can help lift plaque.

    1. A lash serum so you can get the look of lash extensions without the triple-digit price tag. This miracle in a bottle is stuffed with amino acids, peptides, and vitamins that may make your lashes look longer and thicker.

    2. A pet hair remover if you love your fur baby but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!

    3. A three-stage air purifier with a washable filter to capture 99% of airborne particles, including mold, pet dander, dust, and pollen.

    4. A vegan exfoliating body scrub to slough away the rough bumps on the back of your arms and legs (keratosis pilaris is its name but you may have heard it called "strawberry skin" or "chicken skin") with a combination of powerful alpha-hydroxy acids.

    5. An interactive cat toy so your kitty is panting hard after a play session. It'll quickly replace the bin full of other playthings you've bought Alexander Hameowlton over the years...and that he now won't even look at.

    Promising review: "We just took this out of the box and our cat who usually does nothing but lay around the house LOVES this!! I think this is the perfect cat toy. Extremely easy to use, easy to store, and got our fat, lazy cat running and playing. It was money well spent." —piebald

    Get it from Amazon for $2.21.

    6. A handy puzzle board if you and your partner are big on puzzles but small on space. It has four drawers to store puzzle pieces and provides a large enough flat surface to put together a 1,500-piece puzzle.

    7. A stimulating interactive dog toy so your dog has a constructive outlet for his natural curiosity. It's also great for slowing down fast eaters if you fill the pockets with kibble.

    8. A multiuse skincare oil for helping you say bye-bye to uneven skin, stretch marks, and acne scars. It helps your body retain moisture (see ya later, dry skin!) and absorbs into the skin fast so you won't feel greasy.

    Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen!

    Promising review: "I bought this product for stretch marks but started using it on my arms and legs. I've suffered from keratosis pilaris on my arms and thighs my whole life and have tried everything to get rid of it. A few weeks of using the oil and it is totally gone! The small scars from scratching at it are highly diminished as well. I couldn't be happier. Still working on my stretch marks, but even if it doesn't work as well on those, this was money well spent. And it smells great, too!" —Pat B

    Get it from Amazon for $8.89+ (available in three sizes).

    9. A liquid tartar remover to clean your doggo's teeth, because lord knows they will not let you within 5 feet of them if they see you coming with a toothbrush. Think of this as doggy mouthwash! Just add this to their water and you'll notice your dog's plaque and bad breath subside.

    10. A posture-correcting back brace for people who sit all day. It helps train your muscles to sit up straight, which can have the added benefit of helping ease back, neck, and shoulder pain.

    11. A teeth-whitening pen that'll brighten your smile without the hassle of strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.

    12. A Chi automatic curling iron, because you've burned yourself with a regular curler way too many times. Just insert a section of hair into the chamber and the curler automatically wraps it around the heated rod. It beeps when the curl has set.

    13. A 23andMe test for the person who thinks they know everything about themselves *and* the person who knows basically nothing about their family history.

    14. A dog DNA kit that'll show you exactly what kind of dog your beloved rescue mutt is.

    15. A portable Bissell SpotBot, because who wants to spend hours on their hands and knees scrubbing cat vomit from the carpet with a brush only to remove like 75% of it? The answer: no one. Good thing this'll clean up your messes in minutes.

    16. A time-saving robot vacuum if you'd be happy to never pick up a broom again. All you have to do is set its cleaning schedule — then you can forget all about it.

    17. A pumice cleaning stone for powering through tough rust, lime, and calcium streaks that have retired many a toilet scrubbing brush. Give your tired arms a break and let this little guy rub away discoloration with ease. This nontoxic cleaner is tough on dirt but gentle on porcelain so you can sit atop the glistening throne you deserve.

    18. The Furbo, a treat-tossing pet camera if you like being able to keep an eye on your pet even when you're not home. With its 160-degree wide-angle view, night vision, and real-time barking alerts you'll know exactly what your pup is up to.

    19. A jetted tub cleaner that'll clean inside of your tub — y'know, the part you can't reach. This cleanser is made to flush out soap scum, body oils, and those black flakes that gunk up your tub's jets.

    20. A pair of super-soft high-waisted leggings because I can't think of a cozier fall plan than slipping into these, curling up under a blanket with a hot apple cider, and watching every movie in the Halloween franchise. And should you choose to leave the house, reviewers say they're definitely opaque so you can live your best life without worrying about showing everyone your underwear.

    21. An corded epilator so you can enjoy smoother, hair-free legs and armpits for longer than you would if you shaved.

    22. A thickened down jacket to ensure you're prepared for this upcoming winter. This deceptively lightweight jacket is windproof and water resistant so you can play all day without feeling the cold. Plus, the hood is lined with faux fur to keep your noggin warm. And! It has six pockets for holding all your crap so you don't have to worry about snow and sleet ruining your favorite leather purse.

    23. A stationary bike with a tablet mount that'll hold your iPad while you power through a video workout. The handlebars and seat height are adjustable so you can find the position that's comfiest (or at least as comfy as you can be while your thighs are screaming at you!).

    24. A pair of Bluetooth and Alexa-enabled Bose QuietComfort Series II wireless headphones because you're tired of construction, noisy neighbors, and city sounds ruining your concentration at work.

    25. A box of 100 conversation starters so you never stop learning new things about your S.O. But don't toss out the deck once you've gone through it; revisit it in a little bit and you may be surprised how your answers change.

    26. A Waterpik to lift food and plaque from all those hard-to-reach places you miss with your toothbrush.

    27. A seven-in-one Instant Pot that'll whip up dinner without you ever needing to open your cluttered pots-and-pans drawer.
