1. A pack of AirPod cleaners because the last time you offered your buddy an earbud to listen along with you, they actually recoiled in disgust when they saw how gunked up your AirPods were. Squish the flexible square into your AirPod speaker, peel it off, and gasp in horror at the ear goop that's been dulling the sound quality.
Promising review: "I bought this after seeing it on some BuzzFeed list and thinking about how gross my AirPods probably were. When they came in the mail, I used them immediately. They got all the gunk out that was in the little holes. THEN my husband comes in and sees and wants to use them for his. I learned he has never even tried to clean his own AirPods (?!) DISGUSTING and amazing. It got everything out of his." —Amazon Customer

2. A pet hair remover if you're tired of getting fur all over your clothes. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!
Promising review: "If I could give this product six stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
3. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so soap scum and shower grime buildup goes bye bye without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
4. A box of cleaning K-Cups that'll get rid of residue in your machine and prevent flavors from transferring in just one cycle. Or have fun descaling it multiple times. Your choice!
Promising review: "Thought I was having problems with my machine. Used two cups to flush the entire coffee maker out and it started working like new. Totally satisfied!" —Dara Pazooki
Get a box of six pods from Amazon for $9.95.
5. A set of wad-free pads (from Shark Tank!) for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash and forming one large damp ball.
Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi Bray, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
6. A pair of super absorbent period underwear to handle your business without leaving you feeling like you're wearing a wet diaper.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up! For more info, check out BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord's full Bambody period underwear review.
Promising review: "Very comfortable and incredibly absorbent compared to other brands I've tried. These are exactly what I needed! I don't want to have to think about my period every moment or worry about leaking. These give me such peace of mind. I don't use other products, just period underwear. I was so tired of everything else and even got sick of using cups. So I just wear these for my entire cycle. Heavier days I'm changing every five or so hours, but I'm talking really heavy. Regular days, I can go morning to evening. These are great for sleeping, too!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.90+ (available in sizes XXS–6X and individually or in packs of two or three in various colors).
7. A teeth-whitening pen because it's a heck of a lot quicker (and tastes a lot better) than those irritating whitening 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.
Promising review: "I was hesitant to try a new teeth-whitening product after using harsh whitening strips that caused pain and lingering sensitivity. But, as a coffee and red wine drinker, I wanted to find a solution. This teeth whitening pen is terrific. Easy to use, works well and does not have the downside of either the strips or the $450 option at the dentist. I also really love this product since whitening my front teeth is the objective. It is a great value as I anticipate the two pens that are included will last one year. I will definitely buy this again and am very happy to recommend it." —Rebecca Shehee
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
8. A pair of baggy overalls if your wardrobe can best be defined as "art teacher chic." Reviewers swear the loose, flowy, and breathable cotton linen fabric is incredibly comfy and lightweight on the skin.
Promising review: "I have gotten so many compliments on these overalls! I was looking for something comfortable and light enough to wear during the summer since I'm not a big fan of shorts. I'm pretty petite and it fits well and is just baggy enough. I love them so much I ordered another pair in blue!" —Cynthia Cahalen
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 14 colors).
9. A wood polish so you can hide the scratch marks from your dog's overgrown nails along the bottom of your doors and on your wood floor.
Promising review: "I honestly can’t believe how well this stuff works. Like magic it restored pet claw- AND pet water bowl-damaged wood all over my house. I am amazed at the results. Thank you!" —Nicole Thomas
Get it from Amazon for $11.78.
10. A eucalyptus lavender pouch that'll work in the bath or shower. The hot steam triggers lavender's and eucalyptus' therapeutic benefits, which include promoting relaxation, decongestion, stress reduction, and encouraging restful sleep.
Each bag lasts for two to three showers.
Eucalyptus Blooms is a North Carolina-based, woman-owned business that specializes in eucalyptus bunches designed to freshen up your home.
Promising review: "These smell AMAZING, and they're such a perfect size for the shower. I used to have big bundles of eucalyptus, but they always took up so much space. These are perfectly sized and the blend of Eucalyptus and Lavender is HEAVENLY." —Maggie
Get a set of three from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $12.74+ (also available in a set of five).
11. A pair of exfoliating mitts for making you go, "Oh, gross!" the next time you shower. They're made of a viscose fiber that buffs away beads of dead skin (you'll literally be able to see them) to reveal buttery, baby soft skin underneath — and probably make you feel like a lizard shedding its skin.
Promising review: "I use a loofah everyday, so I just bought this to use once a week, not thinking it would do much if anything. Man, was I wrong!!! I read reviews, viewed pictures, and watched the videos. I assumed they all used tanning products or spray tans, because the skin in the tub was brown/black. OMG, mine was too!!! I haven't tanned in 15 or so years. It was gross. On the bright side, my skin really does feel great. Just get it, seriously..." —Kim McMahon
Get them from Amazon for $11.49 (also available individually).
12. A pack of stain-removing pads to tackle the inevitable messes that come with owning a pet. Pee? Check! Poop? Check! Vomit? Check! (You can even use them to clean up your wine spills.)
Promising review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet related) and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now." —MC
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.90.
13. A pair of super soft high-waisted leggings, because you deserve this level of comfort. More than 52,000 people have given them a 5-star review and say they're definitely opaque so you can live your best life without worrying about showing everyone your underwear.
Promising review: "These leggings are really fantastic! They're deliciously soft, breathable, and stretch nicely without becoming see-through. Also, it says to wash and air dry them, but I have put them in the dryer many times and they still remain true to size/fit. You really can’t best the price either. I’m very satisfied and would highly recommend these glorious leggings to anyone!" —Kelsey T.
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in one size and plus size; capri or regular lengths; and 53 colors).
14. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara if your dream is that your lashes would one day hold a voluminous curl. It's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — what more could you ask for?
Promising review: "One of the few products that actually performs as advertised. I was so impressed by the waterproof version that I also got the regular — both are fantastic (and I have tried A LOT of mascaras). Best value ever!" —Candace70
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
15. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement so your poor pup can find relief from itchy skin and allergies. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to help improve immune function, aid digestion, promote healthy skin, and add shine to a dog's coat.
Promising review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine... nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He’s the happiest he’s been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats... he eats these every time so that’s an added bonus!" —Darcie Nation
Get them from Amazon for $24.27 (available in two sizes and for two age groups).
16. A mock-neck bodysuit that'll function as both a stylish top *and* a warm base layer, as well as allow you to bring back some of your favorite summer dresses you thought it was too cold to wear. Reviewers swear it's surprisingly comfortable, so you won't feel like you're being sawed in half.
Promising review: "It fits AMAZINGLY and I cannot emphasize that enough. The material feels very high quality and it has a bit of a stretch to where the shirt is form-fitting and super comfortable. I have very long arms and was afraid that the sleeves might be a bit short, but no! Also, the clasp at the bottom is not stressed at all and I can't actually feel that it is there, like it should be. I'm very happy and satisfied with this purchase. :D" —Madison Beard
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 31 colors).
17. A produce wash for eliminating pesticide residue without affecting the taste of your fruits and veggies.
Promising review: "I was pretty skeptical. I read about how much pesticide can be on produce so I thought I'd try a fruit spray to see if it did anything... I could not believe how clean it got my blueberries. I tried to wash the other fruit with just water and could not get the wax off. Strong work Arm & Hammer...strong work. It also smells really good too (lemony) and it didn't mess up the taste of my blueberries. (I was worried about that; I don't want lemon-flavored blueberries)." —N. Shah
Get it from Amazon for $11.50 (also available in a three pack).
18. A collagen-coating hair treatment to revitalize a dry, damaged, and overprocessed mane in just five minutes.
Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough-looking but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie
Get it from Amazon for $7.90.
Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it, "the miracle product I've been searching for."
19. A TikTok-famous 1,000-piece puzzle from The Magic Puzzle Company because it brings an element of surprise and excitement you've never experienced with other puzzles! Not only is the illustration so beautiful that you'll probably glue and frame it when it's completed, but it also features 50 Easter eggs throughout *and* a magical twist that reveals itself once the puzzle is finished.
Promising review: "What should I say? It kept me busy and overjoyed for hours, got me and my brother to work together, and the ending picture was stunning. The twist was satisfying and felt like a final boss rush in a video game. Absolutely buy this puzzle, and others by this company. It's worth way more than the listed price." —Vincent
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
20. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash if rough, bumpy skin is annoying the heck out of ya. It exfoliates without the harsh microbeads, lifting away dead skin while leaving behind moisturizing hyaluronic acid and calming niacinamide.
Promising review: "I never do reviews...but this product WORKS! I have KP on my legs and it got rid of it 10000%. It must be used consistently and you have to also exfoliate with an actual natural loofa or something similar, but YOU WILL SEE RESULTS. Great product for a great price! Would give 100 stars if I could!" —layla mahmoud
Get it from Amazon for $12.10.
21. A tonsil stone remover so you can *finally* treat the root cause of your bad breath. This tool has a built-in LED light so you can easily locate the tonsil stone. Plus it also comes with a syringe to help you wash out the pocket the tonsil stone left behind.
Promising review: "I don’t think there’s anything more disgusting than tonsil stones! Let’s face it, they irritate the back of your throat, and they STINK! I cannot begin to tell you the amount of objects I’ve put in my mouth to try to get these things out over the years, often holding a flashlight in one hand, the aforementioned object in the other and straining to get a good view in the mirror. The smooth rounded semi-soft tip allows for quick and easy extrication of the stones with minimal discomfort, and the powerful light makes visualization a snap! If I could give it 10 stars I would have!" —Lee Oliver
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in two colors and in a two-pack).
22. An electrical outlet cover with a power strip that'll organize cluttered cords stat. It's also pretty great if you want to push your furniture right up against the wall but can't because your phone charger adapter is in the way.
Promising review: "I don't write many reviews unless a product is really great. This one is the best little invention to come into my life lately! I used it behind my bed as we have an adjustable bed and every time I would raise it, it would hit the plugs in the outlet and pull them out. If I pulled the bed away from the wall, the pillows would fall to the floor. I could not come up with a solution until I found this! It's amazing! So easy to set up. I even bought another one for my family room. Hides all of the ugly cords. I have already recommended this product to my friends. Makes everything look neat and clean!" —Connie Wigmore
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in various lengths).
23. A handy bento box for resisting the intense weekday urge to get takeout for lunch. This nifty container keeps foods separated so your crisp, crunchy lettuce stays that way for the whole day. There's also a tray with three compartments for salad toppings and snacks, as well as a useful dressing container.
Promising review: "Let me tell you how skeptical I was! I brought this to work on a Saturday after filling my salad contents into the compartments. That day I didn’t get around to eating my salad. I got home and put it in the fridge. I forgot about it until Wednesday. I didn’t open it and brought it back to work. I didn’t get to eat it that day either and I never opened the container. I was actually dreading it. Yesterday (Thursday) I finally opened it. I was fearful. Guess what?? EVERYTHING was still crisp and fresh!!! My lettuce was still crunchy and so were my croutons!! It had been almost six days since I opened it from the date I made it! I was shocked!! The portion size is good, except I wish the dressing container was a little bigger. I haven’t used the fork yet. There isn’t really a place to put it but that’s OK because I have portable flatware I use. I really just bought this for the size and all the great reviews. You will love this!!!" —Amazonuser
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).
24. A cuticle oil to restore your shredded nails after a gel mani. A combination of sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba softens the cuticle and strengthens your claws so you'll be proud to show them off.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I've always had acrylic or dipped nails because my real nails have always been brittle and always break and peel. I decided to give my nails a break and wanted to try and grow them out. I can't even believe the outcome! They are stronger than ever and growing! I really wish I had taken a before pic to show the difference!" —JOE D.
Get it from Amazon for $8.50+ (available in three sizes).
25. A fade cream because it does what it says it will: lighten hyperpigmentation, even skin tone, and prevent dark spots from recurring.
26. A lace bralette if you're looking for proof that large chests and dainty bralettes are not mutually exclusive. This lacey number may help you overcome your irrational hatred for He Who Cannot Contain, as it offers a surprising amount of support.
FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can test them out before committing if you’re a Prime member!
Promising review: "I am typically 34–36DD and have always worn expensive underwire bras. I was dying to try a wire-free bralette but was super skeptical about the amount of support and lift I would find. These bras are so super comfortable, give amazing support, and are beautiful. I've been wearing them for about four months now (size L), and they haven't stretched out. I even bought some for my friends because I want everyone to feel this comfortable in a bra." —lmh
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 10 colors).
27. An easily washable drip catcher so the counter space between the back of your faucet and the wall just turn into a puddle after you wash the dishes. This absorbent mat sits snugly around your faucet so the back section of your sink area stays dry.
Hustle & Sew is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina
Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
28. A mounted brush that'll satisfy your cat's ceaseless demands for scritches. Just mount it to a corner with the included adhesive strips and watch as your beloved babies leave you for the warm embrace of this gray and white piece of plastic.
Promising review: "My cat Gambino Bambino would let you brush him bald!!! He loves to be groomed and comes running whenever the brush comes out. Though we love to accommodate, I know he wanted more. He was constantly rubbing his cheeks and ears on the corner of our walls to get even more scratching. I finally came across this product and knew he would love it! It took a little convincing but once he got a hang of it he’s been loving it We have one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one at the top of the stairs and one in the guest room! He is having a great time!!! Very easy to put together and place on the wall." —T. Mangiaracina
Get it from Amazon for $5.50.
29. A pick-and-peel stone for anxious hands and minds. Reviewers, especially folks who compulsive pick their skin and nails, swear it helps keep their hands busy.
Pick 'N Peel Stones is a Pittsburgh-based small business. Renee Benn started the company as a channel for their anxiety after they lost their job. Each lava rock is covered in nooks and crannies that are filled with latex glue. The fun, soothing, anxiety-reducing part is using the picking hook to slowly excavate the holes. Each kit comes with a filled stone, a picking hook, and a stone filler.
Promising review: "I can’t believe I waited so long to buy this! It shipped super quick and definitely keeps my hands busy. I thought I would go through the paint super quick but I haven’t even needed to reapply yet. My anxiety is so bad lately I was picking my nails until they bled and hurt for days afterward. Since I got this stone I haven’t picked my nails at all! I’m so glad I finally ordered it. If you’re thinking about this, get it now!" —Andrea Fercho
Get it from Pick 'N Peel Stones on Etsy for $29.99.
30. An adorable octopus-shaped blackhead remover to exfoliate your skin while pulling out whiteheads, blackheads, and other pore-clogging yuckies.
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
31. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker because reviewers swear it gives frozen fruit the texture of ice cream or sorbet. Now you can gobble up your dream flavor combinations. And it's great for folks who have dietary restrictions.
Promising review: "10 out of 5 stars. Status: Legendary! It is a true marvel of science, magically producing perfect frozen yogurt from fruit, yes that's right, magic. It blew my mind how similar it is to real ice cream. If you had placed a bowl in front of me, I dare say I would not recognize its true composition of pure fruit. I can say with confidence, this magic frozen yogurt leaves you feeling full, like you've just had a bowl of ice cream...for breakfast. Which I will admit without shame is my dream breakfast, but a breakfast I have held out on for the sheer sake of dignity, until now my friends. Furthermore, I nominate the creators of this glorious feat of engineering for the Edison Award, or an award of comparable recognition in the categories of invention and nutrition. Bravo! Yonanas inventors, Bravo! You...are...legends." —Tosh
Get it from Amazon for $40.77+ (available in five colors).
32. A stunning ruffle V-neck one-piece if you're already dreaming about summer, warm weather, beaches, and tropical vacations. It's never too early to start thinking about swimsuits IMO!

Promising review: "This is seriously my new favorite beanie! I’ve worn it all day and wouldn’t even mind sleeping in it...yes it is THAT cozy!! This adorable winter essential totally exceeded my expectations! It is the perfect fit for a slouchy beanie...not too tight and not too loose that it falls off when you barely move your head...you know what I’m talking about! I love that it is satin lined inside and protects my hair from getting frizzy and my forehead from getting itchy! I want one in every color and will definitely be ordering these for holiday gifts for all of my girlfriends!" —Chelsie
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors).
34. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover that'll defeat stubborn soap scum and residue that's bested all your other attempts to scrub it away. It's biodegradable so the scent won't singe your nose hairs and make you gag, plus it's safe enough to use on just about anything — including shower glass, tile, granite, stainless steel, marble, brass, and porcelain.
Promising review: "I love that this product is eco friendly! I wasn't scared to use the product even though I'm pregnant. The scent kind of reminds me of toothpaste and wasn't strong. I did a quick application using an old scotch blue sponge on my bathroom shower to apply it. I left it on for about 10-15 minutes and then had my husband wash it off. He said he didn't do much scrubbing because everything just kind of came off on its own. For the corners for the shower, he used an old toothbrush to reach those difficult spots. He said those crusty areas pretty much just came off on its own with some rinsing. Amazing! I'm so glad I bought this stuff instead of some other brand I saw on Amazon which was caustic! I'd much rather wait 10 minutes for an eco friendly non toxic product to work. If you're on the fence about buying this, do it already! I wish I had discovered this sooner instead of dealing with a gross and embarrassing looking shower for so long! There were a few spots I missed or and some areas need a second application but I expected that. It took years for all that hard water to build up, I wasn't expecting it to be gone overnight. I expect the shower to look good as new after we get do a second application of this." —S. Ngov
Get it from Amazon for $19.77.
35. A pack of matatabi chew sticks if you're tired of wasting money on catnip toys that your kitty couldn't care less about. Matatabi is a plant native to Japan and a catnip alternative (great for kitties who show no interest in catnip!). Plus, the stick format helps keep their teeth clean.
Meowy Janes is a wonderfully named small business based in New Egypt, New Jersey. It specializes in catnip and catnip alternatives.
Promising review: "My nip-fiend cat and my take-it-or-leave-nip cat both love these sticks. They roll around on them, grab them and chew them, rub all over anything the sticks touch. One lasts for a long time too. We rub two together to get the oils going and when that stops working, we scrape the bark off bit by bit with a pocket knife. Will definitely buy again!" —S. Lee
