1. An adorable bird-shaped lemon juicer that's functional and fun to look at. Use this lil' one to add some lemon juice to your tea, salad dressing, and anything else that needs a zesty punch. Though small, this birdie manages to squeeze every last drop out of a lemon slice.
Promising review: "This little utensil is adorable, and quite practical. When I saw it on TikTok I knew I had to have one. You simply put a slice of lemon in and pour out the juice. It looks so pretty sitting on the table and comes in very handy." —Dian Marchese
Get two from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a pack of four).
2. A Crack'em egg cracker with a little edge in the center that perfectly cracks an egg without breaking the yolk inside. This gadget doubles as a spoon rest so you can lay your spoon down while you’re cooking without getting your countertop dirty. A win-win!
Crack'em is a veteran-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in family-friendly kitchen accessories.
Check out a TikTok of the egg cracker in action.
Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors and three-packs).
3. An hands-free Icebreaker Pop that's bound to make your life easier. To use, simply fill it with water and let it freeze. Then, when you're ready for ice, push down on the exterior, pull the straps on either side, and give it a shake. You'll be treated to perfectly formed ice every time, and you don't even need to touch it!
See how this works on TikTok.
Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business established in 2020 by a Danish engineer, Kim Jensen.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no ice maker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self-contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five colors and packs of two or three).

Promising review: "My boyfriend can’t cut bagels. He literally butchers these poor baby bagels all up. I saw this on a TikTok and I was like oh we need that. So I bought it. And it was a good investment. Now we can enjoy nicely sliced bagels that fit in a toaster and aren’t jagged across. Yay bagel slicer!" —Ci DiPalma
Get it from Amazon for $21.19+ (available in four colors).
5. A genius pull-and-rotate cabinet organizer ideal for those of us who don't have much cabinet space to spare. The racks sit side-by-side but can easily be pulled out one at a time when you need a specific item. Shoppers love this for spices and condiments, but it also works to organize medicine, makeup, and more.
Promising review: "TikTok inspired me. Guys, this thing is the real deal. Everything that doesn't fit on my spice rack ended up cluttering my cabinets. This thing solved that problem efficiently, quickly, and reasonably. We added a little extra double sided tape to the bottom to make it extra secure. Love it." —Kaitlyn B.
Get it from Amazon for $18.05.
6. A cup rinser so you can effectively wash your drinking glasses in seconds. Not only does this work on fragile glasses with hard-to-reach spots, like Champagne flutes and wineglasses, but it also does wonders for sippy cups and bottles.

Promising review: "I think I just found the best ice cream scoop ever! I was very surprised when I took it out of the box because it had some weight to it, so I knew right away that it would not break easily. It scoops ice cream beautifully and is dishwasher safe. I am so glad TikTok made me buy this!" —Ashley

9. An over-the-sink dish drying rack that's ideal for those of us with limited counter space. Available in numerous sizes, this rack is a cinch to roll up and store when it's not in use.
Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok and I’m so glad I did! I hate having things on my counters that don’t belong. I have a dishwasher but I have some things (like most everyone) that aren’t dishwasher safe. I love that I can just roll this out and dry my dishes over the sink. The fact that air is able to get to all sides allows dishes like cups and bowls to actually get dry. Prior to this I was using a drying mat next to my sink, but I was always having to towel dry items that had been sitting out “drying” for hours. Even my husband is impressed. He has told me many times it was such a good buy!" —Sheri
Get it from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in nine sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "These are really beautiful and add the exact touch of copper I was looking for in my space. When using, the end lights up blue which is very cool gives them a modern feel. They feel heavy and solid, including the clear receptacle that holds the salt/pepper." —Pink Dragon
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.98 (available in three colors as well as a single grinder).
11. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier that's basically magic. When you're done cooking and the pan is still hot, simply sprinkle some of this stuff into your skillet and watch the grease morph from a liquid to a solid. Not only does this product yield less waste, it's also better for your pipes and the planet.
FryAway is a small business creating a solution to how to dispose of cooking oils. To use, just sprinkle it over the oil, let it cool down, and then toss the solidified oil.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and feel like it helped so much and made it easier to clean the oil. I do think you need to use more than stated, but overall, I'm satisfied with the quality." —beckysfasu

The liner acts as a shield for your appliance, which means no more scrubbing or soaking.
Promising review: "If you have a air fryer, you know the pain of cleaning it. I saw these liners on TikTok. I use them every time I use my air fryer. You can place the meal on the parchment paper and drop it in and lift it out of the basket without having the basket messy. It also keeps juice from fish or meat in the parchment, so that the meat does not get dry." —Tone Iverson

See it in action on TikTok here.
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 Xmas presents next year it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $24.94 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "The best ever! I have been making pizza for years. I decided to try scissors. This is a superior product. You can cut through any topping with ease. The old style pizza wheel can disturb toppings and frequently require more than one pass. If you make pizza, these non-stick pizza scissors are a must." —Tampa 14

FYI: Just remember to empty the old water and refill every three to five days.
Promising review: "I am always buying gadgets and I am always returning gadgets, too. Not this one! When it arrived, I had some nearly dead herbs in my fridge. Just to test it, I tossed it into the tube with some water. Two weeks later, the herbs were ALIVE. WHAT?? I know. It’s a miracle! I will now have long-living, hardy herbs in my refrigerator! It’s a KEEPER (get it?) lol. XOXO." —kakmac
Get it from Amazon for $17.50 (also available in a set of three).

Promising review: "I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help in opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters. There was one person who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the 'V' closest to you and with it placed in the front, in the right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions, and it works perfectly and easily. I have already placed an order for another one for a gift or for my sister." —cat lover

Check out a TikTok of the condiment fork in action.
Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great to get pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol) you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening. It comes with two different rings to fit whatever size jar, a stabber holder, and a stabbing stick." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

Dan O's Seasoning is a small biz that has over three million followers on TikTok because of their yummy food content.
Promising review: "I saw this seasoning on TikTok (like most of you probably have), I didn’t believe the hype at first. I got the two-pack to try. This stuff is amazing!! I love it! It is so good on everything! Can’t believe that it is low sodium because it doesn’t taste like it. I like to add the spicy Dan-O’s to a pizza with pineapple and bacon on it, turns it up to 11!!! I will be ordering more as soon as the stuff I have runs out, for sure!!" —Mike

It's super simple to use! Just fill the water reservoir, put your s'mores ingredients on the tray (up to two of them), and pop in the microwave for 30 seconds. The marshmallow and chocolate will heat at the same time!
Promising review: "I got this to make family night more fun for my kids. They loved it and were able to use it safely. I had to remind my son to ask for help reaching the other side of the serving trays because he could have burned his wrist. Obviously it does get hot, so I supervised, especially with my younger ones. It takes some time to warm up. The coil will turn red. When this happens, you can roast. If you don’t wait, it seems like it isn’t working. It roasts them golden, and they puff up without being blistering hot. They’re hot enough to melt the chocolate around it’s edges but leave it solid in the middle. I think this would make a great gift, especially around the holidays at a gift exchange." —mj345
Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in five styles).
21. A dinner plate that makes eating veggies (and the rest of the meal) more fun. This plate has eight sections (as well as a hidden compartment for dessert) which means your little one will wolf everything else down so they can enjoy a sweet treat.
