1. A Take-n-Slide medication tracker that makes it much easier to remember if you've taken your daily medication. No more just squinting and looking at the bottle suspiciously trying to remember, hoping it will become sentient and tell you if you already took your morning dose.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I’ve tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." —Niki
Price: $19.99 (available in two colors)
2. An expandable garden hose because a good hose can be shockingly hard to come by. The "Flexzilla" coils more easily than a traditional hose, is kink- and crush-resistant, and is overall a major upgrade.
Promising review: "Have used this for about three weeks, watering flowers, grass and washing cars. Have used it almost every day in some way or another. It's very light, easy to maneuver, and doesn't kink. However, I think that's because I followed the directions on the box for how to unwind it for the first time. When I was first unraveling, it kinked in multiple places so I had to carefully unravel and lay it out fully extended before I even hooked it up to the water source. Has been kink-free ever since." —Sean Cotter
Price: $12.94+ (available in nine sizes)
3. A retainer cleaner to help you remember what your trays looked like back when they were new and...not a weird, yellowish, opaque white. Let's clean 'em up, huh?
4. A gardening kneeler and stool so you can take a load off as you tend to your outdoor plant babies. I love working outdoors, but it really can be tough on the knees and back, even as a hobbyist.
5. A gel and memory foam seat cushion for anyone whose legs, back, and bum have a hard time when they're seated for a long time. Whether you're on a road trip or WFH, this should give you a bit of relief.
6. A tea tree and peppermint remedy soap whose tea tree and peppermint-packed formula is antifungal and odor-eliminating, helping with a suite of skin situations from acne to athlete's foot.
7. A pack of LED-dimming stickers if you regularly find yourself disproportionately annoyed by the Wi-Fi router's blinking blue light while you're trying to get some shuteye.
8. A set of UV detection stickers that will tell you when it's time to reapply sunscreen by losing their color when they've soaked up enough sun. A helpful little science experiment!
Promising review: "Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun it turns purple. If you use a sunblock it starts to become clear or semi clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times the spot started seeing purple and I applied sunblock again. In a minute the spot was clear again. So this is very effective in alerting me when to reapply." —RGTorque
Price: $15.99 for a pack of 16
9. A self-closing, mess-free toothpaste cap if your littles (or partner, TBH) are currently still having a little trouble with closing the screw-on one, causing a big mess for you to clean up twice a day.
Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." —Kimberly C
Price: $6.95 for a set of three
10. A jar of versatile Puriya Wonder Balm whose formula of beeswax, tea tree oil, and eucalyptus is anti-fungal and perfect for use in typically ~moist~ areas that can be susceptible to rashes and general funk. Just stick a jar in your hot yoga bag and you'll quickly find how many uses it has.
11. An air purifier with a HEPA filter because who couldn't use a little peace of mind when it comes to air quality these days? From smoke to pet dander, this little guy will help get airborne impurities out of your apartment, lungs, and life.
12. A pair of gardening gloves with claws (!!!!) that allow you to dig and plant in the garden without a trowel *and* without getting a ton of dirt under your real nails. And you've gotta admit it'll be fun to slowly tap your fingers together while wearing these like you're a plotting supervillain.
Promising reviews: "I laughed when I first saw the picture of this item. I thought, well if they don’t work I’ll use them for a costume. But they are amazing at pulling weeds. I use mine for those pesky weeds in the rocks. One pull and you get root and all." —cynthia Williams
Price: $7.95 (available in two colors and as a pack of two)
13. A lightweight eight-compartment pill organizer perfect for keeping all of your pills, supplements, and even jewelry nice and organized during travel so you can just focus on having a good time.
Promising review: "I love, love, love, this little pill holder! It’s a great size, super discreet, and holds a lot! I have one in my purse with things like Tums, Advil, Tylenol, etc. and one on my nightstand with my daily meds. You could also use these for traveling with jewelry or other little things. I would definitely recommend these! They’re super convenient, easy to use/clean, and it’s great that they come with three in a pack!" —Olyvia Repyneck
Price: $7.99 for a three-pack
14. A Eufy robot vacuum to effortlessly tidy up your home with just the touch of a button. Listen, we basically live in the future. It's about time you have a robot cleaning for you!
Promising review: "This is a great tool for a lazy person like me. I've run it every day since I got it a week ago, and it's picking up all the dirt, dust and cat hair I have neglected for ages. I still have to empty the dust collector and clean the filters, but it's nothing compared to having to drag the vacuum cleaner around the house myself! Definitely worth its price!" —Lina L. Yeung
Price: $179.99 (available in black or white)
15. A can of fire extinguishing spray because it's *always* better to be safe than sorry when it comes to fire safety. Pop one of these bad boys in your kitchen for a little peace of mind.
Promising review: "My husband steps away from the stove for a minute and next thing we know the whole stove is up in FLAMES! I was absolutely terrified! I actually thought...this was it...my home's going up in flames! I went to grab this and gave it to my husband and only TWO sprays later the fire was out! I am so SO grateful for this product. I will never be without this again. Thank you First Alert! You saved our precious family!" —Wickedfaery420
"I have two extinguishers in the kitchen — this one and the traditional pull-the-pin kind. Had my first kitchen fire of my life. While a family member tried to figure out the traditional kind, I grabbed this and put out the grease fire immediately. Glad I had this." —British food fan
Price: $11.98
16. A keychain car escape tool for both cutting a seatbelt and breaking the window in case of an extreme emergency. Considering it doesn't take up much room and is under $10, I think it'll be worth it to have it on hand should something unexpected happen.
Promising review: "I work in the medical and rescue field and have to say this is a great product to have on your keychain. One of the concerns I had when buying this was the breakaway portion of the device itself but that was an unfounded fear. This is something that will save your life if you are ever trapped in your own vehicle as it will stay connected to your keys in the ignition which means that you will be able to reach it without a major issue. It will not easily detach without you pulling it off which means will be available where you want it when you need it. I have nothing negative to say about this and have bought one for my wife as well to have." —Aizrec!
Price: $8.99 (available in three colors)
17. A scratch-free scraping tool you'll be reaching for more than you'd expect once you look around and see all the labels, kitchen messes, and general goop that you've been ignoring without the perfect tool for the job.
Promising review: "The perfect handy tool for getting into tight places. It's firm enough for multiple uses but it doesn't scratch or mar surfaces. I should have gotten the five-pack; I have so many uses for these things. I think the best use yet was cleaning the sliding door track. I finally could get into the corners to get the grunge out. A great invention." —Miss Picky
Price: $11.99
18. A glass desktop dry-erase board for taking notes during meetings, and more importantly doing silly little doodles during video calls.
19. A pack of Dr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages to both prevent new blisters from forming and treat existing blisters by covering them, preventing friction, and quickly wicking moisture away. Take that, pesky blisters!
Each pack comes with bandages to fit your heel, toe, and foot. People who wear heels also recommend these!
Promising review: "These were incredible during a recent trip to Italy. My toes and heels were pulverized after our first full day, so I applied these for the rest of our voyage. They neutralized the blisters that had already formed/popped and prevented any new ones from developing. After a full 12 hours of walking around, the stickiness on the sides began wearing off slightly but the bandage itself never fell off. WONDERFUL and kept my feet much more comfortable than a regular Band-Aid." —Kaitlin
Price: $13.99 for a pack of 12
20. A pack of reusable bottle bags for anyone who loves bringing back wine, olive oil, and other liquid delicacies from their travels but hates rolling the dice on if they're going to explode all over your luggage.
21. A set of new cooling gel bed pillows because even though you may want to hang onto your comfort pillow for as long as possible, they actually collect a decent amount of allergens and should be replaced more often than you would think.
Promising review: "I’ve become pretty committed to these pillows. I recently revamped my guest rooms and had some ancient pillows that I decided to upgrade with these bad boys since we have used them in other places for years now! Love them. Super soft, clean up nice, and stay cool. Highly recommend in both queen and king sizes! And yes, the queen size fits into a regular sham if you need to know!" —Ali Lytle
Price: $61.37+ for a set of two (available in sizes queen/standard and king)
22. A magnetic screen door to keep bugs and flying critters out without installing a whole second swinging door. Summer is just better when your house isn't accidentally filled with flies from leaving the door open.
Promising review: "We got this screen so our dog can go in and out freely without letting the bugs in. At first he wasn't quite sure about going through it; in fact he scratched at it signaling us to open it for him. But after a few training treats he figured it out. Installation was so easy! The Velcro, fabric, and mesh all seem very good quality. I'm also happy that we can take down the screen in the winter and store away easily, then just reattach it in the spring. Very happy with my purchase!" —Crystal K
Price: $26.99+ (available in three sizes)
23. A set of adhesive door bumpers to prevent the BOOM, BANG, CRASH of slamming cabinets and drawers without soft close hinges and tracks. Let's get a little peace and quiet around here for once.
24. A backseat dog hammock so Fido can stay safe and nestled in during the R-I-D-E to the P-A-R-K.
25. A composting tumbler — ooooh, are you finally composting? Welcome to the club! This device will make it super simple to turn your compost scrap mix, giving you rich, dark soil for next year's garden.
26. An 18-in-1 multitool that's the shape of a credit card and can tuck right into your wallet so it's there whenever you need it. It does feel weirdly good to be the person around who always has a straight-edge, bottle opener, or other little handy tool someone could need.
Promising review: "I've had this tool in my wallet for almost five years now. It's always been more of a novelty/party trick for me. Randomly open beers for friends or a quick help with a screw if someone didn't have a screwdriver handy. A couple weeks ago, I was on a very long motorcycle trip across CT, and about 50 miles from home, my shifter pedal dropped to the ground. It was a Sunday evening, and everything was closed. I remembered I had the tool that had the notches for tightening bolts. Luckily, I was able to use this tool and get the pedal back together to make it home. Now, I REALLY have a reason to always have this on me. Never know..." —David P.
Price: $11.99
27. A set of under-cabinet lights to upgrade the look of your kitchen just by sticking them on — no tools required. They're even dimmable for a soft, glamorous look everyone chilling around the island will appreciate.
