1. The Pink Stuff, a 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: "I saw this on TikTok and had to try it. Being a mom and a babysitter, we have the occasional crayon or marker on surfaces where it is not supposed to be. This takes it right off without a ton of elbow grease. I also used it on my Converse today. They were covered in dirt and grass stains from doing yard work, and now they look brand new. This stuff is a lifesaver!" —TammyC117
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
2. A moisturizing hair treatment to leave your locks looking shiny and silky. Salon-level hair all day, every day, BB.
It's recommended to use this two to three times a week on wet hair after you use shampoo — you can use one dose on fine/medium-textured hair and two to three doses on thick/curly textured hair, plus another dose on long hair. You can also use conditioner after if you'd like. Avoid applying to the scalp, and only apply to lengths!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff! Not only does it turn my hair to silk, it's been a lifesaver for detangling my 5-year-old's hair. I use some in her hair when she's bathing, and as we rinse her hair, I brush it, and the huge knots slide right out. What a gift to not have to fight her tangled hair, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable while it's being brushed. Total win and worth the money." —Danielle Burge
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
3. A pet hair remover you simply swipe over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie. It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers!
Promising review: "I have four long-haired dogs and two cats, and this thing has been a lifesaver. In fact, it does such a great job that I bought a second one to keep on the lower level of my house. If you have pets, you need this little gem!!" —Linda
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors).
4. A clear gel for keeping valuable (and breakable items) set nice and sturdy where you want them. Playful pets who like to jump and knock things over, curious kiddo hands, and even natural phenomena like earthquakes are no match now for this powerful paste.
5. A wood polish and conditioner to help restore your wooden furniture back to factory condition. Did you just get your entire house re-done by an HGTV crew, or are you just super good at picking out cleaning products?
Gives your wooden furniture a protective, soft luster coating thanks to Carnauba wax and beeswax. It also prevents it from drying and fading. Good for use on antiques, dining tables, kitchen cabinets, wood doors, trim, and more.
Promising review: "Lifesaver! This product is amazing! Our wooden doors were looking pretty tough and I was worried we'd have to pay a fortune to have them professionally stained. I tried this product and my doors look almost brand new again! I'm amazed!" —Courtney Rinkenberger
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in four sizes).
6. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors.
Promising review: "I got this because I decided to get a second dog, and rapidly, it has proven to be a lifesaver. I've been able to vacuum up wet spots before they set. Odors GONE. Suction is powerful. It is noisy, but it's worth it. PS — just some advice, empty the dirty water when you are done, don't run out the door and forget." —Francesca Melis
Get it from Amazon for $122.49.
7. A genius sandwich bread dispenser reviewers say helps keep loaves of sandwich bread fresher longer (think: weeks) because it's 2024 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: "This simple piece of plastic is a lifesaver (bread life, that is). Bread used to always go stale at my house because we would either lose the twist tie or just not put it back on. This Bread Buddy keeps the bread fresh and also makes it easier to get the bread. Love it." —ShaunaRene
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available in two colors).
8. A portable digital luggage scale because it's time we put an end to that gut-wrenching moment the airline counter tells you your suitcase is a few pounds over the weight limit. Being forced to transfer your things from your suitcase into your carry-on in the middle of the terminal for everyone to see is dreadful.
I simply do not need the entire JetBlue terminal judging me for being so indecisive that I felt the need to pack my entire closet into my suitcase.
Promising review: "This was a lifesaver during our trip to Europe! In the past, we weighed our luggage on bathroom scales. However, our hotels did not have scales during this trip. This was accurate and easy to use. I highly recommend this!" —Henrik Bosco
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in six colors).
9. A set of heel protectors that are a must-have as we near warmer weather and the start of outdoor events like weddings, graduations, and parties galore. No matter the occasion, you're gonna want these babies so you can rock your favorite heels without worry of them sinking into grass or breaking on rough surfaces.
Read our Stoppers Heel Protectors review!
Promising review: "These were a lifesaver! I was at a wedding this last weekend that was held in the grass. I searched for a block heel but was unable to find anything I loved that went with my dress. Instead, I ended up with a somewhat pointy heel. The last thing I needed was for my heels to sink into the grass and cause me to trip while walking down the aisle! The bride recommended these and they worked like a charm. I kept them on the entire night, even when we moved to dinner on the patio. They allow you to wear the shoes you love but give the comfort of a block heel, and the flower accent is super cute!" —sara
Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes).
10. A detangling brush designed to gently work through hair at a sideways angle rather than some other brushes on the market that rip their way down your hair. (Ya know, the moment when you can't help but say "ouch" out loud because your brush tore through a knot, yeah that.)
Promising review: "My daughter has super curly hair that gets tangled all the time. This has become a lifesaver. It doesn’t pull nearly as much as a traditional brush." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in nine colors).
11. A lightweight snail essence (no snails are harmed in the making of this product, promise) that'll deliver seriously good hydration and can help brighten your skin and reduce/prevent acne.
Promising review: "This product is a lifesaver. The first time I used it years ago, I had a lot of acne, so I stopped. Because of masks, I developed perioral dermatitis and had to throw out my skincare routine and start again. I slowly started adding very few things back to help soothe my angry and dry skin. This product makes my skin glowy and hydrated." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $17.
12. Water bottle cleaning tablets for getting your beloved drinking bottle back to the condition it was in when you first fell in love with it. Not to mention the fact that you should only ever consume water from a CLEAN bottle.
Tablets are biodegradable, chlorine-free, all-natural, and environmentally safe. They're individually packaged and don't require any additional brushing or scrubbing. Good for use on stainless-steel bottles, mugs, hydration reservoirs, coolers, dishes, and hard-to-clean plastic containers and bottles.
Promising review: "Lifesaver!!! My Hydro Flask is only used for water. Still — cleaning is necessary. These have no powerful smell. Follow the directions, and you will not be disappointed!!!!" —Jeannie Davis
Get them from Amazon for $7.99/12 tablets.
13. Lock Laces — a super smart invention that'll turn your laced-up shoes into slip-ons because being interrupted mid-run by your shoe laces coming undone and trying to trip you is SUCH a vibe killer...not to mention, also a major safety hazard.
Promising review: "These were a lifesaver during my fall/winter pregnancy. I put these on a pair of tennis shoes, and I could easily slip them on to go out for walks, errands, etc., even when it was getting difficult to bend over. No worries about tying shoes! I bought a pair for a pregnant friend and my mom, too." —APaulson
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).
14. Anti-chafing thigh bands to help prevent the dreaded pain that comes anytime you decide to wear something that isn't pants. Plus, these are super pretty, so you don't have to worry if your dress or shorts don't cover them all the way!
Promising review: "I literally use these every single time I wear a dress. I'm so used to them now that when I leave without them, I immediately feel the difference. They are lifesavers! They fit like a glove. After almost a year of use, they have worn out, so the stickies sometimes don't stay on my skin as well anymore. I think I've worn them too much. I will gladly buy another pair; they are now an indispensable part of my wardrobe!" —AK Graciana
Get them from Amazon for $20.69 (available in 16 colors and women's sizes S–3XL).
15. A set of NoNo brackets that'll make putting up curtains over your windows a piece of cake. Who wants to deal with drill-in rods or risking damage to the walls? Not me!
Promising review: "Lifesaving! We rent, and when we tried to put up traditional curtain rods in our bedroom, we found that the wall would not support them. We were able to slide these right onto the already installed blinds." —Diana P
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.95 (available in a variety of colors).
16. Silicone oven rack shields because nothing ruins the mac ’n’ cheese dinner you were so excited for all week like accidentally burning yourself because your skin got a little too close to the oven rack edge while taking out your casserole dish.
Promising review: "Lifesaver for the hands. I always end up burning my hands when I cook and bake. These were super easy to put on, take off, and clean. Love them so much." —WoodsManHelga
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in three colors).
17. An acupressure anti-nausea wristband that claims to ward off motion sickness and nausea, minus the drowsiness side effect found in most nausea medications.
Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising review: "THESE ARE A MUST BUY!!!! I was having horrible pregnancy nausea that lasted all day — I was hardly eating. These arrived and within minutes I felt instantly better and was able to eat a bit. I would recommend these to everyone! Lifesaving purchase!!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53.
18. A set of hair dye remover wipes because coloring your own locks isn't exactly a mess-free endeavor (and anyone who's figured out how to make it one needs to share their secrets ASAP). Until then, these babies will ensure you don't have to spend the next week walking around with splotches of dye on your hands.
Promising review: "I bleach and dye my hair bright blue, and before using these color-removing wipes, my ears and the back of my neck would often get stained. A little staining is understandable, but these will remove 100% of the excess dye! I do my best to protect my bathroom, but accidents happen, and these will also work to remove dye from the sink or shower. If you color your hair bright colors, this product is a lifesaver." —S.H
Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $9.97.
19. A handy little car seat key that'll make unbuckling your little one's car seat a piece of cake. This is especially useful for those with acrylic nails, carpal tunnel, or arthritis, but those buckles can just be finicky sometimes, so you may wanna keep this in your bag regardless!
Promising review: "What a lifesaver! I can now go back to getting my nails long and not have to worry about having them in the way. Super easy to use! I barely use any force, and it opens so quickly! I'm so glad I found out about this product. If you need a second opinion about buying it, THIS IS IT. This is going to be my new baby shower gift!" —Karla Hernandez
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five colors).
20. Wireless headphone ear hooks because nothing ruins a day quite like losing one earbud and realizing you can't replace just one, you have to buy a whole new set. So frustrating!
21. Bra extenders that'll add an extra 2 inches to your bra. If you wear a bra, you know just how rare it can be to find one that you actually adore and we want to help you preserve your faves for as long as possible.
Promising review: "I bought these to use during the last trimester of my pregnancy. What a lifesaver!! I was down to about one bra, and these extenders were great for letting me use some of the ones that had become too tight. They are made of very nice, soft material – not uncomfortable at all. These fit my Victoria's Secret bras perfectly. I just made sure I measured my bras and went by the measurements listed online." —Heather Hilligoss
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 29 styles).
22. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to scrub...like...at all. Just rinse it the next day and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too.
Promising review: "I bought this so that I would not have to use energy to scrub my tub and shower. It may not seem like a lot of energy, but for somebody who has a chronic illness and is a clean freak, it's a lifesaver!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents).
23. A pill crusher that'll quickly become a favorite product in your household if you or your loved one can't stand the thought of taking a pill whole or if your pets or kiddos can only take their medication if it's crushed up and hidden inside their food.
Promising review: "Nice little cutter/crusher. Very handy being all in one. It is sturdy and a good value for a low price. I have three dogs, two of whom require several meds cut and crushed twice a day. This has been a lifesaver! I can't tell you how sick I was of grinding away with the mortar and pestle I have with the awful autoimmune psoriatic arthritis that makes my palms and fingers hurt so much. This requires some twisting power as you screw the crusher down to crunch the pills, but not too much at all. I love this thing!!" —Colliemom 3
Get it from Amazon for $9.52.
24. A travel pillow perfect for anyone with an upcoming vacation — when it's time to doze off on the plane or in the passenger seat, you're sure to have sweet dreams about this baby.
Promising review: "I traveled from the US to Australia and purchased this 'pillow' for that specific purpose. This pillow allows you to sleep sitting up without your head bobbing and getting kinks in your neck. It might look like an odd contraption, but it is a lifesaver if you want to sleep on a plane. I was able to sleep eight hours each way because of this pillow. Watch videos to see how it works — that's what sold me on it. I wasn't the only one on the plane with one of these!" —Julie H
Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in five colors).
25. A set of underarm sweat pads you're gonna feel so grateful for on those mornings you're rushing out the door 10 minutes late, Starbucks is taking their sweet time working on your mobile order, the train is running at a snail's pace, and you have a big presentation to give at work once you get to the office. We won't tell your boss your pits are perspiring up a storm if you don't.
Promising review: "These things are a lifesaver for me when I am in situations where I need to stay cool and professional. When I get nervous, my armpits become a fountain of sweat, and it is so nice to have these so I do not have to worry about pit stains showing while I am networking or interviewing or what have you. It takes some practice to get them to apply without bunching up, but it is worth the effort." —A. Moncada
