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. A habit calendar that'll make it simple to set new habit goals for yourself and keep track of them. Let's say you want to get in the habit of going to sleep by a certain time — all you need to do is write it down and check off the days you stick to it. Easy peazy!
This cool calendar is undated so you can start a new routine or resume an old one whenever you'd like! It also features a brainstorm section to help give you inspo for any new habits you might want to try integrating into your daily life. Free Period Press is a Queer-owned small business based in Cleveland, Ohio that sells super cute notebooks, stickers, prints, and more!
Promising review: "LOVE my habit calendar. Perfect for tracking daily exercise goals. I've been using it to track my training for my upcoming black-belt test. Before I was using a regular calendar and putting stickers on days when I trained. But this way I can track which specific training I did (push-ups, crunches, etc.) each day. Cannot recommend enough." —Summer Ballentine
Get it from Free Period Press for $18, from Amazon for $18, or from Free Period Press on Etsy for $18.
2. A handy "Did you feed the dog?" tracker for a foolproof way to stay on top of your fluffy friend's feeding schedule. The next time they come up to you and give you sad (but adorable) puppy dog eyes, you'll know if they're actually hungry or trying to trick you.
Promising review: "I use this to keep track of whether or not I gave my dog his pill in the morning and evening. It has eliminated the 'did I or didn't I' question. I'd recommend this to anyone with a dog or who needs to remember anything." —Rachel Senterfeit
Get it from Amazon for $7.87.
3. A cable management box that'll keep unsightly cords, surge protectors, and charges neatly hidden away. I don't know about you, but I'd personally rather see this chic-looking box than a messy tangle of wires.
Promising review: "This made a corner with lots of cords, much more appealing! We were able to stuff al those cords inside and hide them away! Box is cute too!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two colors and three sizes).
4. An internet address and password logbook to help keep track of your important login info for social media, online banking, school portals, and more. Sorry but yourname123 isn't a good password, no matter how easy it is to remember.
Promising review: "When we have so many internet addresses and passwords to remember, it gets really hard — especially when you get older and have trouble remembering what silly password you gave something. And, we are supposed to change or update passwords from time to time, so this is a great tool to help us do that. It certainly makes more sense than scribbling on a random piece of paper on your desk and then misplacing it. The trick, however, is to not misplace the book! I HIGHLY recommend this!!" —Carole P
Get it from Amazon for $7.95.
5. A pack of vacuum bags for storing clothing items you're not planning on wearing in a given season, and when you want less clutter in your closet! These don't create the same amount of bulk other storage bags would, so they're good to store under your bed!
Promising review: "WHY didn't I buy these vacuum storage bags sooner?? I've only put them into several posts, and scrolled through the before + after review photos a million times, thinking 'man that would really help with my closet.' But it wasn't until I gazed in horror at the volume of sweaters I need to somehow store in my overflowing closet before unpacking my summer clothes that I FINALLY hit 'add to cart.'
I chose the large size (as opposed to the biggest size, called 'jumbo') because it seemed easier to move and store — jumbo is probably perfect for bedding, duvets, etc! And just one large bag was plenty to store nine or 10 *very* large winter sweaters — all collapsed down to a fraction of their size. And it was surprisingly effortless, too! I didn't feel like breaking out the vacuum, so I just used the included hand pump, and it took maybe three minutes max to pump out the air and shrink the bag before replacing the cap — easy peasy! And no danger of re-inflation. My closet game is forever changed!!! All I can say is thank you Maitland, for actually taking your own advice for once. —Maitland Quitmeyer, BuzzFeed Editor
Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in eight sizes).
6. An acrylic dry-erase board that can be used to sketch out a calendar each month, keep track of to-do and grocery lists, write down important reminders, or whatever else that would help you in your day-to-day life!
1801 & Co. is a small business based in Minneapolis, Minnesota that sells purposeful home products and custom prints.
Promising review: "A calendar never looked so good. Love it!! It came super fast, packaged well, and I was so pleased that it was everything I hoped it would be." —Martha
Get it from 1801 & Co. on Etsy for $16.76+ (originally $23.95+; available in various sizes and three hardware colors).
7. A motivational planner complete with space for you to keep track of appointments, water intake, priority and to-do lists, daily achievements, meals, gratitude reminders, notes, and date. It'll make getting through even the busiest, most stressful days feel a little more manageable.
Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.
Promising review: "These notepads helped me reframe and focus everyday working from home during the pandemic. I used to use a daily planner but working from home changed how I need to plan my work tasks, and personal tasks. I found this helpful for both!" —kristenjoann
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
8. A makeup remover eraser stick you'll be so grateful you have around on those mornings when your eyeliner just won't cooperate, you seemingly forgot how to apply lipstick, and your body decides to produce a sneeze right after you've finished putting on mascara.
Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using Q-tips dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" —Katherine
Get it from Amazon for $7.97.
9. A honeycomb drawer organizer so you can keep the inside of your drawers looking nice and tidy like the rest of your updated bedroom..
Promising review: "Best product I have bought yet! I even purchased three more for my hubby and his sock drawer. He saw how great mine looked and wanted to use it as well. I have never been organized before, and I love the fact I can SEE where everything is now! I don't have to dig to the bottom of the drawer to find things. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product!" —DaVincent
Get it from Amazon for $8.43.
10. A cleaning checklist to help make the overwhelming task of cleaning your living space feel manageable. This printable sheet organizes cleaning tasks by different rooms on different days of the week so you don't feel like you have to tackle everything all at once.
Creative Type Store is an Etsy shop based in Warman, Canada that sells illustrated prints to help make your life more organized.
Promising review: "Great for what I needed! I had started my own schedule, but felt like I was forgetting things, too much to do in a day, etc. This is super helpful!" —Erin Brie
Get it from Creative Type Store on Etsy for $4.55.
11. The Laundress crease release spray so you can say adios to wrinkles in your clothing — no iron or steamer required. This is especially great for time-crunch moments, travel, or for when you feel extra lazy.
Promising review: "I'm 28, and I never actually learned how to use an iron. I mean I *get* how to do it, but have never owned one or done it myself. However, that doesn't mean that I walk around with wrinkled clothes! I own a personal steamer that I absolutely love, but when I'm feeling ~extra~ lazy or just running out of time, I have a secret weapon: the Laundress Crease Release spray. Hang your piece of clothing on a hanger or, if you're like me, just place it flat on your bed. Now you can either spritz all over *or* only on the wrinkled spots. Finally, give it a few gentle tugs to help smooth out the clothing and relax the fibers. And just like that, your shirt is looking way crisper and ready to be worn out! It's so simple to use, and it smells SO good! Sometimes I'll even just spray it on myself while I'm wearing the clothing! I find it so perfect for traveling, because I swear I have the Wrinkled Clothing Curse. Seriously, friends, this spray will save you time from ironing when you have simple little creases that don't require a whole ironing board to remove." —Stephanie Hope, BuzzFeed Editor

Get it from Amazon for $16.
12. A water bottle that'll make it easy and most importantly, FUN, to keep track of your water intake so you stay hydrated all day long.
Plus, it's dishwasher-safe!
I own this wonderful water bottle, and I swear it's the only reason I'm good at keeping up with my water intake now. It comes with eight colorful rubber bands, and each time I finish the bottle, I take a rubber band off and wear it on my wrist. It's actually so rewarding getting to take a band off, and even more rewarding once you take the last band off. I've tried setting alarms on my phone, buying bigger water bottles, using the Plant Nanny app — this is the only thing that has worked for me. (Look — even my dog approves of it!)
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two colors).
13. A desktop organizer so you can finally give all of the items on your desk like books, folders, writing utensils, decorative pieces, and more a tidy storage spot. Plus, this is a piece of decor in its own right so it'll make your work space really pop.
Promising review: "I needed some extra shelf space for my home office, especially now that we are working from home for the rest of the year. This was so so simple to set up and holds everything I need without any issues. You can also assemble it as you please, which is a great feature!" —TanzA
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three colors).
14. Sweat-absorbing bra liners for those who get as sweaty during their morning commute as they would have if they went to the gym before work — we get the struggle and we're here to help.
15. A pill keeper to help make managing your pills easier than constantly having to set alarms on your phone. Just separate them by day and times of day and carry your portable pill plate around.
Includes seven portable trays — one for each day of the week, divided into four sections: morning, noon, evening, and bedtime.
Promising review: "This pill box is exactly what I was looking for. I take several medications a day and this helps keep me organized and makes it very easy to see whether I remembered to take them or not. I also love that if I go away for a weekend, it is very convenient to take the pill boxes for the days that you will be gone." —Tabatha Cumer
Get it from Amazon for $14.90.
16. Wine drops for adding to your fave glass of vino so you can prevent the dreaded wine headache that follows.
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 what so ever! 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 $14.99.
17. And on the subject of wine, a red wine stain remover you'll want to buy immediately if the only thing you're better at than downing an entire bottle of your favorite red at the end of the day is managing to spill it.
Promising review: "I thought the world had ended!! RED WINE SPILLED ON AN ORIENTAL CARPET!!! The cream fringe took the brunt of the spill. The first thing I did was put white wine on it...after all isn’t that what you have heard and read? That white wine will remove red wine from whatever. Didn’t work for me. Rush to Amazon...what to do...what to do? I found several products that sounded promising. I read the reviews. So glad that this is what I chose! Worked like a dream. When it arrived the stain had been set for four days, and following the directions on the bottle, the stain instantly started to disappear. My cream-colored fringe was back. Amazing!!! My carpet is back to its beautiful self. Am I happy? So happy words can’t convey." —Pat
Get a four-ounce bottle from Amazon for $7.95.
18. A Tile Mate you can think of as Find My iPhone, but for items like your keys or wallet. You know when you're rushing to get out of the house for an appointment you're already late to and your keys decide that would be a good time to play hide-and-seek with you? Yeah, well, now you get to win!
Promising review: "My boyfriend loses his keys, wallet, and phone at least three times every single day. I wish I was exaggerating... I love the man, but I was over it. So I ordered these. The wallet size is super thin, similar to a credit card so it'll fit in the slots. The keychain is small enough that it's not bothersome. The app is easy to set up and use, and he can register me as a user too. The alarms are super loud so there's no doubt about the direction in which the thing is hidden, and you can push a spot on the Tiles to reverse search for your phone too! So these two items covered all three of the commonly misplaced items." —Carley
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three styles).
19. A dual dog leash to help make walking two dogs at a time a piece of cake. This will help free up a hand while ensuring the doggos don't get tangled up.
FYI — this can endure up to 80 pounds of pull. It also comes with a dog training clicker and a waste bag dispenser.
Promising review: "This leash exceeded my expectations! I chose this one based on the reviews and I am so happy. We have a big dog and a little dog. I wanted to walk them together but was concerned the big one would hurt her if he saw a bunny he wanted to lunge towards. Well he tried a couple times, but the bungie leash is phenomenal. And the handle is so comfy with the underlying material that it doesn't hurt my hand." —C. Zahorchak
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors).
20. Command spray bottle hangers you can attach to the wall or the inside of a storage cabinet/closet so your cleaning products are kept in an orderly fashion. Plus, you can use some of that freed up space for other things.
Promising review: "Let's face it, Command products ROCK! This was perfect for our truck camper, under the sink, to hold a small, refillable spray bottle of 409 to clean the kitchen. It has literally hung by this Command hanger for 3,000 miles now — bumpy roads, up and down hills, you name it. Everywhere we've gone, and neither the bottle nor the Command hanger have ever been found down. Still hanging in there like the day I stuck it. Works AWESOME!!!! It also keeps the bottle out of the way by tucking it up to one side under the sink. PERFECT!" —Jenn
Get it from Amazon for $5.78.
21. A magnetic visual grocery list pad to hang on your fridge and keep track of which items you need to stock-up on during your next trip to the market.
This pad includes 50 tear-off sheets!
Promising review: "It really helped when we were out of a grocery item to just circle it on the list for the family, so when I ordered groceries I knew what we needed. It didn't stop the family from putting empty cartons in the refrigerator, but at least they let me know that we were out. LOL." —Live Laugh Love
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
22. A sweater stone pill remover that'll help you get rid of unwanted fuzzies by lightly gliding over them. Ta da! Now your favorite old sweatshirt looks good as new!
Celsious is a Black woman-owned small business based in Brooklyn, New York that sells all sorts of great laundry products. They also operate a laundromat in Williamsburg featuring hypoallergenic and natural laundry products and energy-efficient washers and dryers.
Promising review: "Like many of you, I've been living in sweats and PJs during this almost-year of 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. The only thing I would note is that particles do 'fall out' of the stone, so do your pill-removing on a surface that's easy to sweep or vacuum up at the end." —Maitland Quitmeyer, BuzzFeed Editor
Get it from Celsious for $17.
23. A vaccine card holder to keep that very important document safe on the go. Just wanna have a conversation with the person at the CDC who decided to make those cards just a little too big for our wallets.
Henney's Boutique is an Etsy shop based in Los Angeles that sells wallets, vaccine card holders, passports, and more!
Promising review: "Great quality, shipped incredibly fast! I ordered two of these a few months back and then needed a third for a newly vaxxed member of the family. Definitely recommend!" —Megan Rosenfeld
Get it from Henney's Boutique on Etsy for $8.80 (available in 13 colors).
24. A mouse pad that'll keep your to-do list, useful notes, and important business cards and documents as close by as possible. Like, right under your computer mouse close.
Promising review: "What you see is exactly what you get. There are two transparent sheets to keep notes/cards and such separated. Writing on the mat is very comfortable, and I love being able to use it as a mouse pad as well. This is plastic type sheets so you can just wipe them off. Since this mat can be cleaned, I don't see having to ever buy a replacement unless this one becomes torn. Of course, I did end up buying another one because I originally purchased this mat for work and loved it so much I purchased one for home use." —JC
Get it from Amazon for $13.88 (available in two colors).
25. Spice and pantry labels for an easy way to keep dry ingredients and spices nice and orderly. Not to mention, these minimalist labels looks super cool so they'll add a nice touch to the messiest of kitchens.
Promising review: "These labels are beyond my expectation! I'm totally in love with the way they look. My pantry looks so organized and modern. I’m in love and will definitely purchase from this shop again!!" —Sandra Yzaguirre
Get the set from Real + Vibrant Home on Etsy for $30+ (available in four spice label sizes and three pantry label sizes).
26. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning product you can use to restore so many things (both indoors and outdoors) back to practically new condition. It's so good, you may just be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own.
This awesome stuff can be used to clean like, a bajillion and one things, but note that it shouldn't be used on plastic or acrylic surfaces, highly polished stainless steel, or hot/warm surfaces, so of course, you can use it on cooktops and grills, just be sure to do so once they've cooled down! Plus, this is vegan!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
27. Deodorant remover sponges because let's face it, nothing sets a negative tone for the day quite like not being able to wear the outfit you want thanks to white stains on it. I mean really, why are we being punished for trying to keep our pits fresh? Just give the stains a few swipes with a sponge and be on your merry way.
And then I always try to get it off with a Kleenex, then I get little fibers all over. No, these sponges are a far smarter bet.
Promising review: "I'm not really sure what else to say about this besides that it works! I change clothes frequently so this product is a godsend. Gets the deodorant stains right out!" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.72.
28. Wonder Hangers that'll help you group certain garments together, which in turn makes it easier to find that shirt you know you own, but can't seem to find no matter how many times you look.
It comes with 10 hangers that can hold five garments each, 10 if you double them up!
Promising review: "I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white and the edges are smooth." —CAGH
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in three colors).
29. A floral bill tracker to make managing your finances a more organized, simple process. Look at you #adulting! So proud of you!

Promising review: "This meets all my organizational needs for financial record keeping in one beautiful place. It was exactly what I was looking for and is the perfect size to keep thorough records." —Melisa Sellar
Get it from Daisy & Decor on Etsy for $11.99+ (available in four patterns).
30. Bed sheet fasteners so you can ensure your sheets actually stay in place, no matter how all over the place you are in your sleep. These will also make it easier and quicker to make your bed in the morning!
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 product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. 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 a set of four from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
31. An expanding accordion folder for neatly organizing your important papers, notes, and documents in one easy place! Plus, they come in fun colors and have a cute little smiley face printed on the front!
Promising review: "I bought this folder to keep our family documents organized and in one place. There are just the right amount of tabs for our birth certificates, passports, social security cards, car titles, will, etc. This folder is small enough that you can lock it in a home safe or safety deposit box. I let a couple family members know where I keep this so that they can access it in case of an emergency. It is such a relief knowing that all these things are together and organized. I’m glad I bought this." —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in 10 colors).
32. A scrap collector you can attach to a cutting board or your kitchen counter to make clean up after meal prep a faster process. This also makes it easier to utilize those food scraps for compost so it's a great way to help the environment, too!
Promising review: "I am one of the messiest cooks in the world. When I get done, I usually have scraps around my feet where I have knocked bits of veggies off the counter. I've looked for a long time for something to take care of the problem, but everything seemed like overkill. This container is perfect. It's just the right size. I attach it parallel with my belly, and all the stuff that usually hits the floor, goes in the container. Plus, I can wipe the counter into it, empty it in the trash, and pop it in the dishwasher." —Patricia Logos
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors).
33. A monitor document clip for keeping your to-do list in plain sight and not lost in the shuffle of things on your desk. Now you don't have an excuse for "accidentally forgetting" to write up that report.
Promising review: "This lightweight arm holds at least 20 pages without falling out. I use this to prioritize things I need to get done, and it keeps me from losing paper in piles. I have neck issues because I am constantly looking down, and this keeps my head up and makes data entry easier because it's right next to the screen. It also pivots so I can adjust the angle." —Life Is Short
Get it from Amazon for $11.29.
34. A stationary vacuum you can basically think of as a the coolest dust pan in the world. Clean floors have never been so easy to achieve.
After debris is collected into the vacuum's canister, an indicator light will turn on to let you know when the canister is full and ready to be emptied out. Pull the canister out and dump debris into the trash without spilling crumbs and dirt everywhere.
Promising review: "I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor...I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure it's more expensive than my actual vacuum but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $114 (available in five colors).
35. And last, but certainly not least, a set of candles that'll encourage you to unwind and unplug for the duration of their 20 minute burn time. Let's be real, we can all use a product that helps us take just a little bit of time out of our busy days to clear our heads and relax. Just a little bit of de-stress time may just do a lot to help you feel like less of a hot mess this year.
20 Minute Candles is a small business based in Detroit, Michigan that sells, well, these wonderful sets of 20 minute candles!
Promising review: "Never used a beeswax candle until now and it’s my new go-to candle type. Burns well and melts neatly unlike wax candles. Love the 20 minutes of peace sentiment for this self-care ritual too. A must-have for all!" —Kelly Mattarelliano
Get a pack of 20 from 20 Minute Candles on Etsy for $28.
