We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. An air purifier because first of all, it literally cleans the air, helping you breathe easier by filtering out irritants, pollutants and allergens. But second of all, when it's time to change the filters, you'll be shocked by how much dust it's collected, and grateful that you didn't have to dust all that gunk off of everything.
2. An electric kettle because boiling water on the stove or in the microwave is just not the ~vibe.~ A kettle is faster, more efficient, and doesn't horrify Europeans. Plus, you can use it for noodles, soup, tea, hot chocolate, and much more.
3. A set of six spiral hair ties for a more comfortable ponytail that'll stay up without giving you a headache — and when you take it down, there's no weird bump or crease in your hair! It's a win-win.
4. A bottle of oven cleaner to finally remove the burnt-on gunk from that pie that leaked, uhhhh, *three* Thankgsgivings ago. Plus, it's fume-free, so you won't have to open every possible window while it works its magic.
5. A bath wrap because just trying to tuck the towel in never works, and then you have to waste your post-shower glow worrying about accidentally flashing your roommates in the hallway.
6. An extendable tub and tile scrubber so your back doesn't have to suffer, no matter how deeply you scrub. And it's great for us shorties, who might not be able to reach the tops of the shower otherwise.
7. A mini waffle maker because the good part is right in the name: it makes mini waffles!! They're adorable, delicious, and great for freezing — you can reheat them in the toaster, just like Eggos.
8. A lid organizer to take your container storage from "random, unstable pile of plastic" to "actually organized and usable."
9. A starter pack of Clorox toilet wands because that toilet brush lurking behind the bowl is basically a germ bonanza. These are way more sanitary and way more effective at actually removing buildup and stains.
10. An AirTag so you can prevent the early morning "Oh god where are my keys?! I'm gonna be late!!" panic from happening before it even begins.
11. A bottle of Dawn Powerwash because sometimes you should believe the hype. It really does cut through grease and tough messes with ease — you barely need a sponge; you can just rinse everything right off.
12. A bottle of Essie quick-dry nail polish so you never have to spend, like, three hours after your mani worrying that your nails are going to smudge if you even look at them wrong.
13. A pack of dishwasher cleaner that'll not only freshen up the inside of your machine (and remove that lingering smell) but will also remove all the buildup that is making it function inefficiently. Say goodbye to pre-rinses, water spots, and cloudy glasses for good!
14. A power scrubber that basically eliminates the need for manual scrubbing. Just hold it down on some grout, your cooktop, or in any grimy little corner, turn it on, and be shocked by how much gunk it removes.
15. A Scrub Daddy because this one-and-done sponge will help you finally clear off all that clutter around your sink. It changes textures depending on the temperature of the water, allowing it to handle all kinds of kitchen messes, so you no longer need multiple scrubbers.
16. A set of three wool dryer balls that'll help cut down on static and reduce drying time, without adding any fragrances or chemicals. These are an especially good choice for drying towels, because over time, dryer sheets will make your towels less absorbent — but these guys will keep them feeling brand-new!
17. A bottle of Poo-Pourri because it truly is a miracle product. Keep it in your bag so you can prevent any unfortunate smells, wherever or whenever they might strike, instead of slinking out of the public restroom with your head down.
18. A Quip electric toothbrush that has timed pulses to tell you when to move on to another part of your mouth. Plus, it's travel-ready, water-resistant, and holds a charge for up to three months. Your smile will never be the same.
19. A white noise machine because falling asleep can definitely be a task, and this magical machine will help smooth out all the creaks and cracks that try to disturb your rest.
20. And a cold-brew maker so you can literally make your morning java in your sleep. Just set it up before you go to bed and you'll be rewarded with delicious, smooth coffee in the morning.
