    50 Small Products So Useful That They’ll Never End Up In Your Junk Drawer

    These small but mighty products sure do pack a punch 💥.

    1. A pack of box cutters because trying to open a package with your bare hands requires *way* too much work. This adorable little gadget has a retracting blade and a hole in case you want to keep one on your keychain!

    Promising review: "These cutters are not only adorable but highly functional. The retractable blades are sharp and make quick work of opening packages and letters. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip.The pack of three is a great value for money, ensuring I have spares all the time." —Maria A

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.99.

    2. A set of corner protectors so the next time you bump into the coffee table you can walk it off instead of falling to the floor in absolute agony. While they are made for baby-proofing homes, they'll benefit your knees just as much. They come with a strong adhesive and absorb shock so everyone stays boo-boo free!

    Promising review: “Easy install, stay firmly attached! We got these for our coffee table in the living room. I was a little unsure that they might not stick firmly since the table has beveled edges (see photo). But they fit perfectly and have stayed stuck on even with my 10-month-old trying to pry them off. He's teething and has also tried biting them quite a bit, but so far, no dents in them! They have been very effective at covering the sharp corners and giving us peace of mind. Great purchase.” —Shawna 

    Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $9.98+ (also available in packs of 18 or 24 protectors) 

    3. A desktop vacuum cleaner because there's no way you get through the 40 hour work week without snacking *at least* once or twice (if you do then ... 🏆). Stick this baby in your ~useful~ drawer and whenever you see a little mess on your desk, just turn it on a roll it around!

    Add two AA batteries for a cord-free experience! BTW, batteries will last 90 minutes, but you can always just plug the vacuum in and use it like that.

    Promising review: "Holy geez where was this all my life? This is the perfect crumb catcher/sweeper for your table. Have little ones who leave toast crumbs everywhere? Or a husband who drops little bits of stuff? This will vacuum it all up and voilà, clean table! It’s a nice compact size and can pick up sizable crumbs easily. I’m gifting these for Xmas!" —Kestrel

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two colors and three styles).

    4. A wireless charger so you can charge all your gadgets in one place, all without a cord. Now you don't have to use your one charger after 10 minutes of charging your phone to juice up your AirPods — I know we're all guilty of that. Plus it folds up so you can take it with you on the go! 

    Reviewer's photo of the charger, folded up
    Same reviewer's photo of the charger unfolded, with two of the three charging spots in use with a smartwatch and earbud case

    Promising review: “It was a painful and heavy to carry all individual chargers for my iphone, apple watch and airpods. Often times, hotel rooms don't have USB-C charging port or their USB-A port is broken. So I have to carry a heavy adapter too. After finding this product, those days are over. I could easily carry this one bad boy and don't have to worry about carrying a number of cords and adapter. This one solves all. Sturdy but elegant design. Can be placed in normal situations when I am not traveling. I use this even though I have Belkin 3-in-1 charger which is not easy to move around, but this one you can place anywhere. I am really satisfied with this product." —Chris BW Choi

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in nine colors)

    5. luggage scale because the struggle of trying to guess if your suitcase is under 50 pounds is all too real. Just hook it onto the handle of your luggage and lift it for an accurate reading. 

    Reviewer's photo of the luggage scale

    Promising review: “Perfect! Easy to use, and very accurate. I used it to weigh suitcases before a trip, and I had no trouble checking them in afterwards! It is super portable and it was easy to use on my (very heavy) suitcase, it latches on well for weight measurement. Obviously, if you aren't able to lift the amount of weight you're trying to measure (and keep it off the floor for three to five seconds until it stabilizes), this product is not for you.” —Karen

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four colors)

    6. 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.

    gif of reviewer using the chom chom to easily remove pet hair from a couch

    See how much hair it picks up from a white couch on TikTok!

    Promising review: "This thing is magical and I wish I had found it sooner. Even the most stubborn of dog hairs that have been seemingly woven into the fabric of your couch are no match for the ChomChom. The satisfying click of the roller will have you ChomChom-ing every surface you possibly can, while your dog looks at you in cold betrayal for removing his precious fur deposits. He plots revenge against this new nemesis, revenge that is doomed to fail from the start, because the ChomChom is far too powerful. Meanwhile, you are transfixed by the serotonin rush filling your brain as your ChomChom fills with more and more hair, leaving a path of de-furred sofa in its wake. The dog barks in disapproval. You smile, finally sitting on fur-free furniture for the first time in a long time. Maybe you’ll even have friends over now." —Will

    7. A magnetic purse hanger so you don't have to put your bag down on the grimy restroom floor when there's no hook. It sticks onto anything metal plus it looks adorbs!

    8. Or a versatile bag clip that can hold up to 33 pounds. If the thought of putting your bag down on any public floor makes you cringe a little, then this is the perfect thing for you.

    Promising review: "I have a very heavy, large purse that is a bottomless pit. One time I put my purse on the back of my chair at a cafe and the whole chair flipped over, that is how heavy my bag is. I was looking for something so that I could hook my purse on things so it wasn’t sitting on the floor and was more accessible. I love this little gadget. I have used it on everything from bathroom stalls to tables to grocery carts. This thing really grips. All of my girlfriends love it and have gotten it for themselves." —Jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in eight styles).

    9. Some retainer cleaner tablets because this is the last thing you'd think to clean, but it needs to be done. Just drop a tablet into a cup of water and let the retainer soak for about 15 minutes to remove all odor-causing bacteria and stains.

    Promising review: “I wish I’d found this product months ago. I’m about midway through a treatment plan with Reveal, which is basically Invisalign but a different brand. I wear each tray for two weeks. My dentist told me just to brush them with my toothbrush to clean them off. Doing that, they became cloudy after a few days and I noticed a slight smell that I thought was unavoidable because it never went away. With this product, I soak my trays in the morning while I eat breakfast and they come out super clean. No cloudiness, no odor at all anymore. I wish I’d purchased this months ago because it makes wearing them so much more pleasant.” —Shelby81 

    Get it from Amazon for $22.41+ (available in packs of 120 or 240 tablets)    

    10. An adorably aggressive Angry Mama microwave cleaner so your mama doesn't get angry the next time she comes over and sees a dirty microwave. Just fill it up with vinegar and water, heat it up, and once all the steam runs out (around seven minutes), wipe down the inside. There's no need for cleaning products or intense scouring when you have this lil' mama!

    Promising review: "I moved into this house over a year ago and haven't been able to get the gunk out of the top of the microwave, no matter what I've tried. Used this ONCE and it's more than halfway gone!! SOOOOOO HAPPY!! Didn't have to scrub very hard or anything, it just came right off. It'll need another time or two of use before it's all the way gone, but I can't tell you how impressed I am. It smells like vinegar when you're done, but not for very long. Super easy to use and definitely worth the money." —briona

    Get it from Amazon for $6.89 (available in four colors).

    11. A handy little cleaning ball that you can leave in your bag to capture up 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.

    reviewer's finger on the pink ball, which is covered in dust and crumbs

    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. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds so you can bump to "Cruel Summer" because guess what, they're completely waterproof. They pair easily and when you put them in your ears, you'll get up to 10 hours of playtime (45 hours with the wireless charging case)! 

    Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Kate Arnold

    Get it from Amazon $23.99+ (available in five colors).

    13. And a headphone cleaning pen to finally understand every single lyric of "Cruel Summer" and maybe shed a few tears. It comes with a flocking sponge to clean the case, a brush to clean the dirt of the sound outlet, and a metal tip to scrape out what may or may not be your ear wax. You'll easily be able to clean everything out in minutes instead of taking a needle to it and trying to remove everything little by little.

    Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members and boy am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" —JMilwaukee

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three colors). 

    14. 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.

    15. A set of gold cable organizers to clean up the tangled mess of cords on your desk and add some *flair* to it at the same time. These small but mighty gadgets will make your WFH job so much easier.

    Brighttia/Etsy

    Brighttia is a New York-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in industrial and modern interior lighting and decor.

    You can either attach it to the wall or table with a double sided sticker. For a more heavy duty installation you can screw in the back of the cable organizer to the wall! It includes: three adhesives, two screws, and two anchors!

    Promising review: "These brass cable organizers are beautiful and high quality. I’m using two of them to keep a plug-in sconce cord attached to the wall and to direct the cord to the electrical outlet. These little gold pieces add a touch of functionality and glamour to the sconces. Exactly what I was looking for." —Amy Margolis

    Get a set of two from Brighttia on Etsy for $11.98+ (available in eight colors).

    16. Shark Tank-favorite Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier that's quite small but can lift up to 80 pounds! I know we all dread having to take several trips to bring in groceries, but with this baby you just hook your bags to the clip and take *everything* inside.

    Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. 

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors). 

    17. A bottle of Drop It to reduce the amount of sulfites and tannins in wine (a probable reason of wine-induced headaches). Just keep it with you whenever you go drinking to help prevent those *awful* hangovers. Plus your wine will taste exactly the same.

    See why this person highly recommends it on TikTok

    It works with any type of wine, and one little bottle will last for up to 55 glasses!

    Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and enjoy!

    Promising review: "I became really sensitive to wine in my 30s and through a lot of trial and painful error, I thought I might have to give up on wine altogether. Then I found out about the preservatives being a possible cause and decided to give this product a shot. So glad I did!! I'm still pretty sensitive to reds but this helps tremendously so that I can have a glass with dinner without a headache immediately settling in. Whites cause me no problem whatsoever! I love that it takes so little product to make a difference to a whole bottle. Just a few drops, a few minutes and we are good to go." —CastawayIrons

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available for beer too!).

    18. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers that turn purple when you need to reapply sunscreen. These little things aren't staying in your junk drawer, they're coming with you on hikes, the beach, and every other outing.

    Promising review: "I'm multi-racial with tan skin. I burn when it's intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." —FlightLife

    Get a 32-pack from Amazon for $25.99

    19. A bunch of teensy macaron boxes for decor *and* for storage! You can put tiny trinkets, jewelry, and even pills in here — oui oui, I'll take six please!

    Promising review: "Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts as I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off. I imagine these would also be great for pretend food for kids' playsets or for a kid's trinket box. Overall I love them, love their feel, love the colors and am very happy." —Mary

    20. A fabric defuzzer to remove all those floofs from your furniture that somehow build up after a while. You can also use it on your pilling clothes too!

    Check out our write-up on this magical fabric defuzzer! The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included. 

    Promising review: "Okay, I don’t normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I’m depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Selmer

    Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in two styles and six colors).

    21. And an upcycled pill-removing stone for when your clothes are too far gone for a regular lint roller to work. Just rub the stone on pill-y areas and watch these fuzz balls disappear into thin air.

    Celsious is a Black woman-owned small business based in Brooklyn!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves this little tool! She said: "Like many of you, I've been living in sweats and PJs during WFH full time. And it's made me revisit the state of some of my loungewear. Take for example, this college sweatshirt I wear all the time — as evidenced by the rather EXTENSIVE pilling all over it. So when I saw this pumice-esque sweater stone (it's made from upcycled car windshield glass — how cool is that?!) I decided it was worth the try. We've featured electric pill removers (mostly the fan-favorite Conair one) many times, and they really work. But sometimes you're looking for a little more detail or control — that's where this stone comes in handy. I was able to navigate around the contours of the logo on my sweatshirt with ease, removing pills using the corner or the entire flat bottom in a few quick strokes. It truly took no time at all — the sweatshirt was done in mere minutes." Read more of her Celsious Sweater Pill Remover review.

    22. A chic coffee cup holder to make multitasking a little easier. You'll be able to hold your coffee + your phone + your keys = all the essentials.

    VIS Paradise Goods is a Florida-based Etsy stop established in 2021 that specializes in personalized and sustainable goods. 

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "Psst — I own one of these myself and love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!"

    Promising review: "This is perfect! I constantly have my hands full and now I can comfortably carry my coffee with me everywhere I go. I will be purchasing more!" —Erin

    Get it from VIS Paradise Goods on Etsy for $12.55+ (originally $16.74+; available in 18 colors and 39 option designs).

    It features a nonslip handle for a comfortable grip and two sides: one is a snag-free wire loop for buttoning and the other a narrow zipper hook.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

    24. An automatic shutoff safety outlet because even when I *know* I unplugged my curling iron, there's still a little voice in the back of my mind telling me I didn't. You can just set this to however many hours you want your device on and it shuts off right after!

    Promising review: "I have a really bad habit of forgetting to unplug my hair straightener, but this little guy saves the day! I can now keep it plugged in and set this for one hour, which is plenty of time for the straightener to heat up and for me to straighten my hair. It's saved me a lot of stress." —Tori Martinez

    25. And a zipper puller to zip up those hard-to-reach areas on your tops and dresses when no one is around to help. You can let out a big sigh of relief knowing that you won't have to twist your body in the most uncomfortable positions just to reach that zipper.

    Promising review: "I purchased this zipper puller for a very dear friend of mine. She recently lost her husband after 62 years together. She loves to dress up and was concerned that she would not be able to wear dresses with back zippers; that was always her husband's job. She was so thrilled when I gave her this gift, she actually cried. Sometimes the smallest of gifts brings so much happiness."—reds

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

Plus it hides pimples and prevents from you from picking at them! It works so well you'll forget that there was even a pimple there.

    Check these out on TikTok!

    BuzzFeed Shopping's Ciera Velarde says: "I've used this specific brand for years now and have found them to be the best at reducing the size and redness of breakouts! Whenever I notice a zit popping up, I put one of these one right before bed, and it stays put all night, even when I toss and turn a lot. By morning, it's much less noticeable and is practically nonexistent when I cover the zit with makeup. It's such a great practically zero-effort way to treat blemishes!"

    Promising review: "I heard all about these on TikTok, so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" —Kiara Galloway

    28. A Bug Bite Thing (as seen on Shark Tank) to always keep with you in case those HORRIBLE bugs decide to attack you. Place the suction on top of your bug bite and 🪄abracadabra🪄 — it removes the venom that the evil bug left behind. No more swelling or itching, so you can go about your day without anything bothering you. 

    Promising review: "This is the holy grail for bug bites. Here’s a little tidbit I think everyone should know. On the bites that still itch, use the smaller section side and hold the suction for 30 seconds, if still bothering do again for another 30 seconds. I find that works extremely well for the stubborn bites. I swear once you get the hang of this you’ll want to buy it for all your loved ones and never have one out of reach during the summer months." —Aloni

    30. A boot and shoe spray to stretch your shoes that are just a little too tight to fit just like Cinderella's glass slipper. It works on all types of leather as well as suede and canvas. Just spray it all over your shoes, wear a thick pair of socks, and walk around until they dry.

    Amanda Davis / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says: "So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!! 

    The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later), and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up. 

    After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Doc Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!"

    31. A Bluetooth wireless transmitter so the next time you're on a plane, you don't have to pay for a pair of wired headphones if you only have AirPods or other wireless headphones. Just connect your listening device to the transmitter and insert it into any audio jack!

    Promising review: "This was such a gem to find. It connected quickly and seamlessly to my headphones. I’ve only used it on one flight, but that’s all I need to give you a MUST-BUY recommendation. This allows people to use their Bluetooth headphones with onboard flight entertainment that is not connected to their phone. Great find and worth the money!" —Savannah

    Reviewers recommend giving your brush a good soak in warm water after using this tool to make it shine!

    Promising review: "It seemed ridiculous to buy a brush for my hairbrush, but this really works! I had recently bought a new hairbrush and I was shocked by the amount of fuzzies and dust that it accumulated so quickly — it looked dirty! I found this and scrubbed my regular hairbrush and all the lint/fuzzies came out. The bristles are very stiff so I was worried about damaging the boar bristles in my hairbrush but it didn’t at all. I feel like my hairbrush is a lot cleaner now!" —Kate

    Promising review: "Can I give 10 stars? I’ve always been an essential oils hater. I’ve never found any of them to do anything for me. This has changed my mind completely. I recommend this to everyone who even mentions having ever had a headache. To be clear, this won’t knock out a full fledged migraine. But if you put this on at the first sign of a migraine (or any type of headache, really) it is nearly instant relief. I always use it with meds, because let’s be real, a migraine is a migraine. But a migraine used to have me down for hours, even with meds. Once that train started coming, nothing would stop it. This changed that completely. And it lasts forever. I’ve had mine for 4 months, using it a couple of times a week and there’s not even a dent in it. Looks brand new. Love. Love. LOVE." —JF

    Promising review: "Buy it. Just buy it. Have you ever been late and unorganized and you have everything but your keys? This little sucker can be activated thru your phone and the keys sing a little song. You ever lose your phone but know where your keys are? You can use this to find your phone as well. I use it more to find my phone than my keys." —Manda Moore

    Promising review: "These pens are awesome! They are very easy to use and come with good instructions. I haven’t even used it 10 times yet and I’m already seeing results, so I’m excited to see it keep getting better!! The flavor is a little bit unpleasant but not bad at all and definitely worth it. I also haven’t noticed it making my teeth sensitive at all, which I was a little worried about since I already have sensitive teeth, so I’m glad it’s not affecting that!" —Sami Froemke

    37. A slim pill organizer so you can bring your medication with you on-the-go. Even if you forget to take your meds at home, you'll always have some on you. It comes with six compartments so you can carry pills for every emergency in here. Runny nose? Upset stomach? Headache? Have no fear, your meds are here! 

    It comes with a small pick to help you open each compartment. 

    Promising review: "This thing is my new best friend. Move aside Caitlyn, our 8 years of friendship have been great, but this pill organizer has replaced you. It goes everywhere with me. My body is what I like to call a “needy b****," so EVERY SINGLE ONE of these compartments has something I need in it. Extra antidepressants, daily multivitamins, so much lactaid, gluten enzymes, and four different types of painkillers (I just counted). This is way better than the suspicious-looking drug bags I had to use before ordering this. Basically, 100/10, buy this thing, it’s fantastic." —Sophia B.Y.

    38. A fan-favorite Poo-Pourri spray for restroom-goers so their business can stay their business. Yes, OFC everyone has to ~go~ but that doesn't mean it has to smell!

    Promising review: "I was hesitant to use this product. It seemed silly, but finally broke down and bought some; this smells SO GOOD! My sister asked what was in my bathroom that smelled so great, and when I told her, she had to have some too. Makes a great funny gift they will actually love!" —Josie Morehead

    Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed! You can even connect it to your Alexa or Google Home for voice control. 

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little SwitchBot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

    Promising review: "I love this product. I took it on a recent vacation and it really is a time saver. The moisturizer bar it comes with is soo nice. I usually get a little itchy after shaving but the fact that you can rub in the excess product on the shaved area has helped with itch and ingrown hairs.

    Promising review: "Purchased two of these for our one-week Disney World trip. I knew I’d be walking around A LOT and my feet aren’t used to the many miles of walking a day in the hot and humid environment so I didn’t want to be uncomfortable. Happy to say I put it on once in the morning, slipped on some socks and comfy shoes and I didn’t get one blister or issue with my feet! Wish I knew about this a long time ago!" —Michelle

Anti-splash means no nail clippings left behind; thank goodness...like magic. The glass file is very cool for giving a little sheen to the top of the nails which makes a really clean looking manicure. Not too shiny...just nice and finished." —Susie Thomas

    46. A mosquito repellent bracelet that's infused with essential oils to keep those pesky critters away. Reviewers say the bracelet smells great too!

    Promising review: "I have always attracted pesky winged creatures…namely mosquitoes! As a kiddo I got impetigo every year from scratching their bites because we played outside all summer long! It was awful, scary, and maddening because I missed a lot of fun with my friends! As an adult, I’m still outside a lot mainly walking our dog, and I still attract mosquitoes! But these citronella bracelets are remarkable! First thing every morning I slip mine on to walk Reba and haven’t been bitten since…for real! I’ve even shared extras with friends in our building and grandkids and they are pleased as well. Definitely a must for me every day in the summer and spring!!" —Wallone

    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

    Promising review: "MAGIC! This cloth is amazing! We have tried all sorts of cleaners and they made our TV so much worse. Then, while searching Amazon to find yet another 'good' cleaner, I came upon these. It says no cleaner necessary, and they're right! It was that instant gratification you get when you buff the wax off your car. I will be giving these as Christmas gifts for sure!" —Lane

    Promising review: "I saw this on a BuzzFeed thing a while ago and I thought it'd be worth looking into. I'm going to be going on vacation soon and I'm terrified of my ring falling off my finger and getting lost in the ocean. I'm so happy I purchased this, it makes it so it's incredibly difficult to put over my knuckle so I know I know it's secure. I could probably 'shorten' it if I wanted to. If you're second guessing it, just buy it. I'm a skeptic with stuff too." —Natalie

    Promising review: "I hate to clean blinds. I've tried every method you could imagine but none really did a good job. While looking at the internet for something to make the job easier I found the Hiware window blind cleaner duster brush. The price was more than affordable so I thought I would give it a shot. This little device is genius and the microfiber sleeves are so easy to throw in the washer to get ready for the next time." —Northwest Gal
