    26 Products That Are Constantly Raising The Bar For Us All And Doing It Flawlessly

    "I'd say I'm surprised but I know who you are" —Us to these products.

    1. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning product so good, you'll be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of household items and surfaces (both indoors and outdoors).

    Promising review: "This. Stuff. Is. Amazing. Just buy it. I have never loved a cleaning product so much. Just moved into a new house and my oven and stove both set the fire alarm off every time. No product (organic or chemical) could get them fully clean except this stuff. I was ready to buy a whole new oven because I couldn’t stand it. I have now gone on a cleaning spree and have used this to remove the rust on my kitchen sink, marker from a dresser (darn kids), grout in the bathroom. The list goes on. I would probably still use a Magic Eraser on painted wood/walls because this is pretty abrasive but other people have done it and had success. The smell/scent is so minimal. Didn’t even notice it. It’s so easy to use. Some things will require more elbow grease than others but that should be expected with any cleaning product." —NYC Livin

    2. A set of antimicrobial toothbrushes featuring "floss" bristles that provide a deeper clean by actually reaching between your teeth (bye bye little food bits hiding in there) and are formulated with nano-silver, aka it self-cleans yucky-ness left behind on your bristles after you brush. Your other toothbrushes simply cannot relate!!!

    Mouthwatchers is a small biz that sells antimicrobial toothbrushes, fluoride-free toothpaste, as well as bundle sets and travel-sized options!

    My colleague Emma Lord owns this toothbrush and loves it! Here's what she has to say about it: 

    "I personally just bought this and love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." 

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $16.06+ (available in four colors and multicolored pack). 

    3. A blackhead remover you simply glide over your face to help scrub away sebum, blackheads, whiteheads, and other skin impurities. The little octopus is so cute, you may wanna buy it for that reason alone.

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me and smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50

    4. Cleaning K-Cups that'll serve as the easiest, fastest way to get your beloved Keurig in the clean condition it should always be in.

    All you have to do is put one of these babies in like you would with any other K-Cup, brew one large cycle, watch dirty water get cleaned out, throw the pod away, and then return to brewing your faves.

    Promising reviews: "We’ve had our Keurig for a few years, and with the exception of using only filtered water and dispensing hot water every so often, we’ve never cleaned the needle or K-Cup area. I used three cleaning cups back to back and WOW our machine was dirty! I'm so happy I purchased these! I’ll be keeping up on cleaning these more often." —Heather Garcia

    "I was amazed at the ease of this product. I no longer have to soak and scrub." —Mcarpino5

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.

    5. A genius sandwich bread dispenser reviewers say helps keep loaves of sandwich bread fresher longer (think: weeks) because it's 2023 and it's time we finally put an end to that annoying moment of discovering green spots a few days after grocery shopping and having to throw away half the loaf.

    Buddeez is a family-owned small biz based in Missouri that sells home goods!

    Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

    6. A mouse jiggler so your computer doesn't mistake you walking away for a few minutes to whip up a snack and making a drink as signing off work for the day. The #WFHStruggle is real.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight styles). 

    7. A 4-in-1 makeup pen for an eyeliner, brow liner, lip liner, and highlighter all in one fabulous little tool reminiscent of those retractable pens you may have used in your school days.

    This is cruelty- and paraben-free and vegan! Plus, it comes in recyclable packaging. Alleyoop is a woman-owned small biz that sells a wonderful assortment of beauty products.

    Promising review: "I love the ease of this product. It’s so perfect and the colors are great for all looks — casual, fancy, quarantine extra, everything!

    Get it from Alleyoop for $25 (available in three shades).

    8. A  makeup remover stick you're gonna 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 cotton swabs 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 $8.72.

    9. A remote control that'll easily allow you to scroll and like videos on your TikTok feed or turn to the next page in an e-book without having to touch the screen.

    Promising review: "I have a TikTok obsession, and I am thrilled with this ring! I love how versatile it is, too, where I can flip book pages on my phone and go through music as well. It’s easy to use and set up if your follow the instructions." —The Shopper around the Corner

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

    10. A wall charger complete with six outlets AND two USB ports because fighting over who gets to use the outlet next to charge their phone is such a last-year problem.

    And! As if that wasn't enough — this thing also functions as a night-light. 🙏

    Promising review: "Love this. I have many items to plug in now that I have to office at home. There’s plenty of room to plug in two laptops, a computer, a monitor, and my Alexa safely. It’s a little bulkier than I was expecting but that is due to the room your items will need." —Jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $17.97.

    11. A magical blush oil that reacts to your skin's pH levels and instantly provides you with a natural-looking flush — time to break up with whichever blush you were using before this, they simply cannot compare.

    Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small biz that sells cruelty-free makeup formulated with clean and vegan ingredients — so clean, you can wear it when you sleep! 

    Check out the Youthforia BYO Blush on TikTok

    Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer

    Get it from Youthforia for $36 or Amazon for $35.99

    12. A genius faucet splash catcher to help finally solve the pesky issue that is water from your kitchen sink splashing onto your counter.

    Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in six colors and four sizes).

    13. A pair of fleece-lined tights that'll make wearing a dress or skirt in the colder months something you actually...look forward to?! Groundbreaking!

    Promising reviews: "I saw someone on TikTok talk about these so I bought them. I am so happy I did. They're very warm and stretch. It fit me perfectly. I can’t wait to get skirts so I can wear them." —Taya yzu

    "The warmest tights ever. I have several pairs of fleece tights, but these are by far the warmest. I live in Kansas, so it is common for us to have 20mph north winds during the winter. A 40-degree day can feel like 20 degrees and a 20-degree day can feel like 0 degrees or below. I usually wear skirts or dresses to work so I need something warm on my legs. These tights paired with a skirt and boots are warmer than a pair of pants. They are also very soft and comfortable and fit great. I have a hard time finding tights to fit properly because of my long legs. A lot of tights are either too short and sag in the crotch area or come all the way up to my neck, but these don't do either. I just ordered another pair and will most likely order a third pair in another color." —Cindy Henley

    Get them from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in women's sizes S/M–L/XL, five colors, and in packs of two)

    14. And while we're on the topic of staying warm, a lightweight heated jacket because sweating the second you put on a bulky winter coat is undeniably one of the worst parts of winter.

    Promising review: "I was honestly kind of skeptical about this at first because it took a bit of time to heat up all the way, but once it did I was absolutely in love. It gets so warm and is absolutely perfect. It’s very very well made and luxurious feeling. 10/10." —Ezra Adair

    Get it from Amazon in two styles: $149.99 (available in four colors and women's sizes S–XXL) and $149.99 (available in three colors and men's sizes S–3XL).

    15. A thaw claw that'll help thaw frozen meat up to seven times quicker (depending on which meat you're thawing, some reviewers say it only takes minutes). If only this product had been around when I was in high school when my mom would ask me to take the chicken out of the freezer when I got home (which I almost always forgot to do until she got home from work, oops).

    Promising review: "A package of frozen meat would have taken at least two days to thaw in the fridge. I used this for a 2-pound package a couple of days ago, and the meat was thawed within 90 minutes. One of the most practical kitchen gadgets I own." —Llda Schellhase

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors).

    16. A cult-favorite oral rinse and for good reason — this stuff provides 12 hours (yes, 12!!!!) of coverage from bad breath and the bacteria that lead to it. Bonus points: It's vegan and free of alcohol and artificial colors/flavors. 

    Check out TheraBreath on TikTok!

    Promising review: "TikTokers have done it again. This was one of the products on Amazon a person could not live without, stating all-day freshness. It's true, I cannot believe it. The taste isn't strong, it does not burn at all. It keeps my breath smelling fresh all day no matter what I eat. This brand will be a new staple in my bathroom and morning routine." —Zac

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.34.

    17. A makeup brush sanitizer that uses UV-C light and ozone technology to disinfect up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria living on those tools you use, ya know, ON YOUR FACE!!! All you have to do is push a button. Yup, it really is that simple.

    Promising review: "This first caught my eyes when I saw how chic and cute it was. Then I found out it actually sanitizes makeup brushes! I wear makeup regularly, but to be honest, I don't clean my brushes frequently enough. I found it kind of frustrating to clean my brushes. Not sure why but it always takes a REALLY LONG TIME for my brushes to dry. This is such a lifesaver as I know I can sanitize my brushes every time I use them with just one click! I don't have to worry about skin issues caused by dirty brushes anymore! It also makes a really good/cute gift. Very happy with this purchase." —Cyn

    Get it from Amazon for $89.

    18. A watch in the form of an adorable (and stylish!) ring. If you're someone who avoids wrist watches because of their heavy feel, this little cutie is here in the nick of time to come to your rescue!

    Get it from Mystique Craft Studio on Etsy for $15.52 (available in six colors).

    19. A heatless curling rod so you can achieve easy, breezy curls all without having to turn on hot styling tools.

    Reviewer with curly hair

    This set comes with a curling rod, a claw hair clip, two duckbill hair clips, and two hair scrunchies. It works best when rolled with damp hair boasts being compatible with all hair types.

    Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 

    20. An Echo Show ready to serve as a TV for streaming all your favorite shows, a planner so you can keep track of calendars and to-do lists, and your personal assistant — Alexa will provide you with news, weather, traffic updates, and more!

    Promising review: "I was hesitant to get this one originally. I was not sure if it would be overkill or too big. I am soooo glad I took the plunge and bought it. I work from home and sometimes I just need a little background noise. It was super easy to set up and re-linked everything from my original Echo. It was easy to link Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube Premium. Your Amazon Prime account is automatically linked. In the mornings I ask Alexa to start my day and she tells me the current weather, some history tidbit, the news, current traffic, and the weather forecast for the day. When playing Amazon Music you get an option to see the lyrics, which is great when your other half sings the words wrong, lol. I chose to purchase the wall bracket due to the flexibility it provided. I can move the Echo out away from the wall, turn it while cooking to see recipes, view it while working at my desk, or just tuck it back tight to the wall when I want it out of the way. This bracket also allows full tilt options as well as changing from horizontal to vertical. I have full use of my Echo Show 15 and again so pleased that I purchased it. So far no glitches, fingers crossed." —S. M. Paulson

    Get it from Amazon for $249.99.

    21. A poop bag dispenser equipped with a flashlight that's gonna make bringing your pupper out for walks at night an easier experience.  

    Reviewer photo of a hand holding the blue and gray poop bag dispenser filled with bags
    The same reviewer clicking the yellow button on the dispenser to illuminate the flashlight at the bottom part of the dispenser

    Why carry poop bags AND. a flashlight when you can just carry one handy little device instead?! It's the little things that make a big difference. 

    Promising review: "I needed a poop bag holder that I could attach to my leash. While there are plenty of cheap quality plastic options out there, I went with this option because it had the added feature of a flashlight. I'm not always home in time to walk my puppy before the sun goes down so having the light attached to the holder is perfect (especially when I forget my phone on the way out of my house). I highly recommend if you'll be trying to scoop the poop in the dark." —Nikki

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

    22. And while we're on the subject of your pup doing their biz, may we introduce you to these super cute pee pads great for those who may be training a new fur bb or caring for an older bestie. Either way, they're absorbent and look great!

    Promising review: "Potty training is hard, and even harder with small dogs. My Cavapoo took right to the pee pad mat and even looks for it now when she has to make a potty. I was shocked how fast she adjusted to it. I was also surprised that when she used it to pee, I could hardly smell her pee. When I used the disposables, holy cow, my room smelled terrible." —Red

    23. A wide, armless desk chair you'll absolutely love if your preferred method of sitting at your desk is crisscross applesauce. It's the comfy cloud chair of your dreams.

    Promising reviews: "Buy this chair. I’ve bought so many office chairs over the years. The classic Goldilocks story — this one’s too bulky, this one’s too flimsy, that one has too much hard plastic…yada yada. I think this one might be it. Really comfortable, solid build, attractive, but the best feature is the wide seat. I can crisscross my legs easily to relieve the pressure in my hips, which is life-changing if you’re chained to your desk sitting in meetings all day." —Larissa Harrison

    Get it from Amazon for $219.99.

    24. A rechargeable fridge deodorizer that just so happens to be more effective than baking soda. How so? Well, while baking soda is great at absorbing smells, this handy device actually aids in getting rid of those smells by circulating oxygen. 

    Check out the deodorizer on TikTok!

    Promising review: "I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I’ve had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love that I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn’t smelled once since I’ve started using." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99

    25. A portable washing machine because the old you signed an apartment lease and swore you'd be fine without an in-unit washer/dryer but the current you is now salivating over the thought of being able to wash your clothes without having to scrounge up change or walk to the nearest laundromat.

    It's got heavy, gentle, normal, rapid, and soak cycle options.

    Promising review: "If it worked for me, I would say it will work for 99% of others. It didn't fit my kitchen faucet only because I would need an additional piece to make it fit the washer's attachment. It did fit my bathroom sink. The only additional item I've purchased is a water diverter so I can use whatever faucet I attach it to, and not have to disconnect the washer hose. The spin cycle works as well as a conventional/full size washer. It's really quiet. The way to move the unit (if you're without a dolly or other type of rolling mechanism) is you just grab the two handles at the top of the washer, and rotate it toward you a bit on one side, then rotate toward you on the other side. You can't really tilt the washer and roll on the wheels...it doesn't work even on linoleum because of the leverage issue. Anyway, buy it! This thing lets you wash a decent-size load (I would say at full capacity you get one-third of a full-size washer). It's pretty nice! I hate going to the laundromat, and was too lazy to even bring laundry to my parent's...so what kept happening is piles and piles of laundry to the last piece of clothing, then finally making the time. Then, you are washing clothes for hours on end. This breaks it up." —"bennryan"

    Get it from Amazon for $248.81.

    26. Reusable cloth towels prepared to tackle spills, messes, or anything else you'd typically use paper towels for minus all the paper waste.

    Promising review: "I have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. These are great for drying hands, wiping up spills, wiping hands and faces, cleaning a messy table after a meal, wrapping a snack or sandwich, I could go on and on and on. The mix of patterns is perfect and it's always fun seeing which one is next. They cling together to roll up so easily and they stay super soft through washing (we've had the cloth wipes for over four years now)." —SJEmber
