    If You Want To Feel Like A Genius, Check Out These 38 Lifehack Products

    What's more genius: these brilliant products OR you for buying them — hmm, I think the answer is you, smarty pants.

    1. hands-free (rotating!) phone mount to watch your downloaded movies or shows on the plane without having to struggle to prop your phone up. You can mount it onto the tray or even your carry-on so you can keep yourself entertained while you're at the gate two hours too early.

    Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards, and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid, and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

    Get it from Amazon for $12.29+ (available in five colors).

    2. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner because even though you can't see your week-old pasta, doesn't mean that it's not still down thereJust toss this in the sink and let the water run — it'll help the disposal clean itself so you don't have to reach down there and do it, *ick*. Once you see the bath bomb-like blue fizz, the job is done and your sink is free from the backed-up gunk.

    Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica House

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.

    3. A strainer that attaches to any pot so you don't have to *strain* your arms holding up a colander. Plus, no pasta will be a flight risk and end up in the sink.

    Amazon

    It's made of flexible silicone and designed to fit most pots and pans.

    Promising review: "Years ago I had a pot strainer that worked well. When it finally broke I bought several nearer versions and NONE of them fit anything well. I ended up getting a large bowl-style strainer which worked but took up valuable cabinet space. This clip-on silicone strainer is amazing! It fits every pot in my cabinet, keeping food in and letting the water or grease out. Plus it frees up valuable cabinet space. I highly recommend it!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors).

    4. An eyelash comb to separate your lashes when your mascara clumps up after applying. Just brush this through a few times and you're good to go!

    close up of reviewer's eyelashes perfect separated and clump-free

    Promising review: "No matter how good the brand/wand is, even a brand-new mascara will leave clumps behind. Once applied, mascara dries too fast. This tool easily glides through lashes to remove clumps." —John

    Get it from Amazon for $4.95.

    5. A popular, long-lasting eyeliner stamp because if you're like me and have to redo your wing a bajillion times, this is SO worth it. With this stamp you won't waste any eyeliner — all it takes is one stamp and DONE!

    reviewer holds two stamps, which each have a slightly curved end for adding a winged eye to black eyeliner

    One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye.

    Promising review: "Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before, and they were so watery and not close to the dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" —Elizabeth

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in three sizes and a combo pack). 

    6. Shout color-catching sheets so the next time you do laundry you don't have to separate your whites from your colors. These'll capture all the running dye so you can save those tears when you realize your favorite shirt is still white!

    Promising review: "These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from bleeding. It makes all clothes/laundry brighter and looking like new — not that old washed color after just one wash without these sheets. I give this product 5+ stars. Highly recommend. A few pennies spent additionally on your laundry makes one look like wearing new clothes all the time." —Nikita

    Get 72 sheets from Amazon for $11.45.

    7. A shower curtain with pockets because balancing all your shower products on the bathtub rim is way too chaotic. Now they won't be a fall risk and will be as secure as possible. 

    You can hang this shower curtain with the pockets facing either the inside or outside, depending on what you need to store.

    Promising review: "I needed more storage in my shower because there are no built-in niches, and I only have room for a narrow shower caddy. I saw this idea on Pinterest, but it was geared toward college dorms and small apartments. I found that it works great in any size bathroom. It has nine pockets of different sizes, so you can store many different items. The liner itself is of heavy plastic and the pockets are of sturdy mesh. The overall quality is very good and it does not feel too thin. My shower rod is screwed into the wall, so I am not concerned about putting too many heavy items in the pockets, but if you have a tension rod, you should be aware not to overload it." —Minerva King

    Get it from Amazon for $16.98.

    8. A Car Caché so you can keep your bag within arm's reach without your precious items falling out every time you hit the brakes. You'll never have to put your bags on the dirty floor again, where only feet belong. Plus reviewers say it's handy for keeping their doggos in the back seat!

    Psst...it also comes with mesh pockets so you can store essentials right by your side!

    Promising review: "Um, holy grail! My purse has always taken up my passenger seat. If I have a passenger, it's sitting next to me in the driver's seat. I have a large LV bag that doesn't have a zipper to close it up. Any time I would brake even a tiny bit harder than usual, everything would go sliding off to the floor if I didn't mom-arm it. I got so sick of picking up the contents of my purse (I live in So Cal and drive A LOT). I saw this in a random article on FB, read the glowing reviews, and bought it immediately. YOU GUYS, this is AMAZING! It keeps my purse in place and doesn't slip out on either side. It took all of two minutes to install. LOVE!" —MsJoy

    Get it from Amazon for $18.49.

    9. Blind-spot mirrors because parallel parking and merging lanes can be such a pain. in. the. neck (yes, figuratively and literally). With these helpful lil' gizmos, you'll be able to save so much time trying to squeeze into that space *and* do it safely!

    Promising review: "I bought these for my mom's car and mine a while ago and these little things are great. Since I got my license I've hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these its been a blessing, I feel less like a scared new driver. I'm currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these too! These are also great for backing up, because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind, and it's helpful when I parallel park in the city." —Mariam Abass

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four shapes and three styles).

    10. A makeup spatula (as seen on Shark Tank) so you can get every cent out of your favorite beauty products. With this, you won't be cringing every time you throw out your concealer that still has a quarter left in it. 

    Promising review: "I just started using it and it really lets me use all the foundation in the bottle. I feel I'm getting my money's worth when I can see all the foundation gone. Great little tool." —Chavez

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in two styles).

    11. A handy little cleaning ball that you can leave in your bag to capture any dirt, dust, or crumbs that *dare* to enter. You can also take it out of the casing and roll it around to pick up whatever is left over! This won't end up in your junk drawer; it'll just live in your bag.

    See how well it works at cleaning the bottom of a bag on TikTok!

    Promising review: "I found out about this little gadget from a TikTok video, and I thought I'd give it a try. I usually keep some sort of snack in my purse, and as much as I try to keep the containers sealed and to keep my bags clean, I inevitably end up with those annoying little micro-crumbs at the bottom. As soon as I ordered this ball, I put it straight into my purse, and within a day or two, it was already time to wash it! It picks up a lot for being so small! Pro tip: To open it, squeeze the thick ring around the middle and it should pop apart pretty easily. Rinse off the sticky ball part with just water, then put it back together and let it air dry for a couple of hours. Good as new! I highly recommend this product. Whether you have kids or not, bags just get lint and teeny tiny little crumbs over time. Buy it!!" —Sarah Couv

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors, as well as a set of three). 

    12. Anti-slip silicone glasses sleeves because having to push your glasses back up every five seconds is just so darn annoying. Just slip these onto the arms and protect your frames from ever hitting the floor again! 

    The silicone glasses sleeves on glasses
    A person wearing glasses with the sleeves on them

    Promising review: "I was a little dubious about these, but my daughter's glasses were always falling off her face and to the floor, so if I could spend a couple of bucks to save her expensive glasses, it was worth a shot. In fact, because you get five pairs, I put a set on my glasses, and I'll be darned if they don't work really well. They add a little bit of bulk to your glasses so if you're extremely fashion-conscious, it's not like tape-on-the-bridge nerdy, but it's there. But if you're more concerned about having your glasses feel like they're going to stay put on your head, then you'll like these. They aren't too thick so you don't really notice them on your ears. In fact, because of the soft silicone, they actually result in less of the occasional soreness I would get from my glasses on my ears sometimes." —Domenico Bettinelli

    Get a pack of five pairs (10 total) from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three colors).

    13. A plush microfiber makeup-removing cloth that removes ALL makeup (yes, even waterproof makeup) with just water. WATER. The other side exfoliates your face, and afterward, you can just toss it into the laundry with everything else. 

    The pink makeup removing washcloth
    Reviewer wearing full face of makeup labeled before, and with all their makeup removed and a bare face after using the washcloth labeled after

    Promising review: "Okay, so I know there’s a ton of reviews for how amazing this thing is, and I really thought it was going to be super overhyped. But seriously — THIS THING IS AMAZING! Usually, I have to really scrub to get my mascara off, and I’ll typically lose an eyelash or two in the process, but I wet this down and wiped my face once, and everything was off my face and on the towel. And I mean wipe, there was no scrubbing. I literally did a quick wipe expecting it to be just an initial pass, then looked up into the mirror and was like, holy hell, I think it’s all off. I’m in total shock. I have literally never once had a cream, oil, cloth, or otherwise that so effortlessly wiped off my mascara before. There’s got to be some magic going on here...my face thanks you." —anonymous

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors).

    14. A toothpaste holder and squeezer because it is quite literally *impossible* to get the last drops of toothpaste out. Now you'll be able to completely empty the tube and actually feel satisfied when you throw it out. 

    reviewer photo of toothpaste in the holder

    Promising review: "This device is ingenious! Wished I’d known this product existed sooner. I use Arm & Hammer toothpaste, which still comes in the standard small cap so having it propped up behind the bathroom cabinet was impossible. Now, problem solved. It’s a small invention that made a positive impact. I thank the person who thought of it." —Jl33NYC

    Get it from Amazon for $5.94.

    15. Shark Tank-famous Lion Latch travel jewelry case that you can clip onto your keys, water bottle, or backpack so you'll never lose your family heirloom ring. The lid is locked in place and can't be opened unless the carabiner is taken off! So the next time you're taking a dive into the ocean, just put all your jewelry here so it doesn't get lost in the sand.

    Promising review: "This genius little invention is absolutely perfect for keeping jewelry safe! I love that you can clip it to your keys, bookbag, purse, etc. I plan on using this when I travel and go hiking to keep my engagement ring safe. If the lid is on and the clip is through the holes, there is no way you can lose anything. It's perfect!" —Hollie Daniels

    Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in three colors and more colors available in packs of three).

    16. A Take-n-Slide medication tracker so you don't have to retrace your entire day to try to remember if you've taken your meds or not. 

    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

    Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors and a pack of two).

    17. A portable Chill-O-Matic Instant Beverage Cooler if you love your bevs *ice cold* ❄️. This powerful lil' machine will make any 12-ounce can of whatever drink cold in just one minute!!! ONE! Can your fridge do that? I think not.

    Check out a TikTok of the Chill-O-Matic in action. 

    Promising review: "I was so afraid of wasting money. But I didn’t. I love my sodas cold. But sometimes there’s not a cold one available, and waiting 30-40 min for one to get cold in the freezer is not always ideal. This will get your room temp can to fridge cold in 90 seconds. I let it run double that to get almost freezer cold. I wish it had a power cord. But I do appreciate the portability that the batteries provide. I can’t wait to try it out on vacation, as access to cold sodas isn’t always available. All you need is literally a little bit of ice." —G. Massey

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors). 

    18. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper so you can feel like the next Gordon Ramsay. This multifunctioning gadget chops, spiralizes, and slices veggies instantly so you don't have to, AND it comes with a built-in storage container that'll leave your kitchen ~ mess-free ~.

    Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer 

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four other styles and four colors). 

    19. Drop Stop (as seen on Shark Tank) because there is nothing more annoying than dropping your phone or keys into the abyss that is the gap next to your seat. Insert this into the gap for a snug fit — a simple yet genius idea. 

    Promising review: "These things are amazing!! My Explorer has an abyss under the seat. If anything drops, it’s gone forever! These stay in place way better than expected. I won’t go without them ever!" — Kaci A.

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.

    20. A set of Bed Bands for ACTUALLY making your bed instead of creating a facade of a made bed with mangled sheets under your blanket. It locks your sheets into place so that when you're kicking in your sleep while you dream that you're Jackie Chan, your sheets won't budge.

    Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY...SINGLE...NIGHT. To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." —TinkerbellAPixie

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes, three colors, and packs of two, three, or four).

    21. mounted brush so your feline BFF can help groom themselves, saving both your time and carpet. It comes with a little pouch of catnip so you can sprinkle some into the compartment to encourage them to use it! Plus, I'm sure it'll feel sooooo good on their fur (okay, we need one for humans ASAP).

    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 $11.85.

    22. And a super popular (100,000+ 5-star ratings!) ChomChom pet hair remover that pet owners swear by. It's just like a lint roller but without the paper so it never runs out. It's designed to pick up pet hair efficiently and once it's locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you throw it away.

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy this, and it is money well spent!! I’m convinced that my beagle sheds a full coat of hair and regrows it daily! I use this on my bed every single day and it blows my mind how well it works. Before this I was going through 4–5 disposable sticky rollers a month and spending three times longer to remove dog hair. I am buying these for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts this year! ❤️" —tiff4short

    23. magnetic air fryer cheat sheet so you don't have to pull out your phone with your messy hands after marinating or seasoning your chicken. It'll let you know the temperature and time at which to cook your food. Sorry Google, you won't be needed today!

    Promising review: "These magnetic cheat sheets are wonderful. So handy instead of a cookbook; I use it every day! I gave my niece an air fryer for Christmas, so I bought her a set, too, and she loves it." —KateK.

    24. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you WFH and you need to stay active on Slack or Teams. It'll move your mouse every 30 seconds so if you need to make yourself a lil' snack or walk your dog, you won't have to explain why your status says you're inactive!

    25. A Baseboard Buddy so you don't have to get down on your hands and knees to get rid of that mold and dust on your floors and baseboards. Plus, it has a four-foot extendable pole so you can easily clean your ceiling fans and grates without the hard work — sorry Cinderella, this was after your time.

    The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. 

    Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl

    26. A foldable, slip-resistant "Sink Topper" that is any apartment dweller's dream (or if you simply have a small sink). Just unfold it onto the counter and you'll have so much more room for your morning routine instead of having to juggle your foundation on the bathtub and concealer on the toilet tank. 

    Sink Topper is a small business that specializes in household-friendly organizing mats. 

    Promising review: "I was introduced to this item through TikTok and they weren’t joking when they place certain videos on your 'For You Page,' because they knew that I NEEDED THIS. It is super helpful for small sinks and I love the material. It doesn’t slide around, it’s wide enough for all my (at the moment) bathroom needs and I can easily fold it up and take it anywhere with me." —Allie West

    27. A salon-worthy stainless-steel skin spatula to scrape all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove. For under $20, think about how much you would save instead of going for a facial!

    See it in action on TikTok here.

    Here's what Haley Zovickian has to say about it: "I finally caved and bought this during Black Friday, and wow, I am SO glad I did. Blackheads are less of an issue for me than cystic acne, and it worked beautifully for both, and somehow very gently, too. The first time I used it, I could see all the stubborn gunk in my skin being extracted — gunk that was still there despite having just showered and regularly adhering to a pretty strict skincare regimen (!). I used the Blume Nourishing Face Oil to keep my skin moist while using it, which worked well for me (they recommend using a toner, water, or some other moisturizing agent). After using it, my skin felt softer than it's felt in years, and super clean without being at all tight. In short, a great product and definitely a staple for me."

    Promising reviews: "Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can’t reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." —Paige Chaney

    "This thing is freaking amazing! I was super skeptical I would see any results because I just bought it on a whim because I have epic blackhead issues, but man was this the best thing I’ve ever used. It brought so much gunk out out my skin (once I figured out how best to aim it) I was seriously almost in tears. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t see it come up on the first pass, experiment with the best angle and tool direction for you. Also, expect to keep having to use it like everything else you need to keep going to see results." —Tyler Dominguez

    28. A bidet toilet attachment so you can truly feel like you're sitting on the most luxurious throne.  It'll wash your booty, and you can adjust the water pressure — you'll be using a whole lot less TP while still feeling cleaner than before! Plus, the nozzle cleans and retracts itself when you're done.

    We reviewed the best toilet paper and recommend this for our highest price point for efficiency's sake. And it's an easy install on your toilet, even for renters!

    Promising review: "Super easy to hook up and has made a huge impression on me. I’m a frugal person and just assumed TP was the frugal choice. How silly I was to not explore my options. If you’re on the fence, just do it. This bidet is a bit life-changing. I’ve had it installed for 3–4 weeks and have had no issues whatsoever. I’ve even recommended one to a buddy who I thought would be vehemently opposed. He installed his, and he would also call it life-changing for his partner and their two kids. 5 stars easily." —WRD

    Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in three colors).

    29. A pack of FryAway Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder for disposing of grease without the fear of burning yourself or clogging your pipes. Just sprinkle and stir the powder into hot oil and watch it coagulate.

    FryAway is a small business that was created to make cleaning easy!

    Promising review: "Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wooden spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." —Ryan O.

    30. DeskCycle so you can get some movement in as you sit behind your work desk all day. You can adjust the height to whatever is comfortable to you, choose from eight resistance settings, and pedal away!

    Reviewer using the DeskCycle

    Promising review: "Pleasantly surprised with this DeskCycle! I wasn't sure how well an under-the-desk cycling device could work, but I get back and hip issues when I sit still for too long, and I don't always exercise daily the way I'd like to. I've been using it for a couple of weeks, and I am really happy with it. It's very quiet, and it cycles very smoothly. Even using the cycle at the lowest of eight resistance settings for a total of about an hour a day, I am noticing my legs getting stronger. I am definitely less stiff after a day in front of my computer than when I sat still. I would recommend this product to anyone with a computer job who needs a little more movement in their lives." —Tamara

    31. A "Cup Claw" that'll be your savior if you happen to own a lot of bras or tops with removable padding in them. If the pads come out in the laundry, just take this handy scissor-like doodad and slide 'em back in!

    Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration, trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective, and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place I highly recommend this." —Wesley I.

    32. A magnetic microwave cover so you don't have to clean the microwave every time you want to reheat your leftover soup or cook your frozen chicken pot pie. Just place it on top of your food when you heat it up, and it'll prevent anything from splattering onto the walls. Once you're done, just stick it right back up on there!

    Promising review: "If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." —Rachel

    33. An anti-soggy cereal bowl because no one should have to eat Cinnamon Toast *Crunch*less. It separates solids and liquids and can also be used for chips and dips, curry and rice, and anything else you despise eating soggy.

    Promising review: "This product is something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I’m being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I’ll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." —Sarah F.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors and in packs of two or three).

    34. And a two-sided travel cup so instead of having to bring both a water bottle and coffee tumbler, you just need this genius cup!

    Promising review: "You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!" —Megan Huffman

    35. The Car Seat Key for anyone with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or just long nails. Unclipping the buckle of your child's car seat is pretty darn hard sometimes. Luckily with this nifty tool, all you have to do is slide it over the red button and squeeze!

    Promising review: "After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I’d have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out and omg!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it but once I did I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! Lol If you’ve been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It’s worth it!" —Tora318

    36. A set of silicone stove-counter gap covers because we all know those crumbs and liquids that fall in between the way-too-narrow gap will probably never be cleaned up. 

    Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and five styles).

    37. A set of Wad-Free pads so your sheets actually come out dry instead of as a dripping ball of fabric. These prevent your sheets from getting tangled and keep them separate from everything else. Once you use these and take out dry, unwrinkled sheets, you'll realize that it was never your poor dryer's fault.

    Plus, they're BPA-free, reusable, and created by a small business during the pandemic. 

    Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings

    38. And a SockDock because one sock ~mysteriously~ goes missing when you do laundry, every. single. time. It has a built-in hanger and holds nine pairs of socks, so you'll never have to sort them again after taking them out of the dryer.

    SockDock is a small business founded by Kevin Bunn in March 2017 after he got so frustrated losing socks while doing laundry. 

    Promising review: "For the last six years, I have lost literally dozens of socks. No one would fess up to having them stuffed in their drawers or crammed underneath their beds. So, it must be the sock gnomes. I have been using the SockDock for about a month, I've washed about three or four loads and guess what, not one sock lost. It does take some commitment to load soiled socks on the tree, but it's worth the effort. They come out of the wash, and you just hang them up and pull fresh ones off. I highly recommend if you can commit yourself to the process." —S. Peterson
