1. A bundle of The Pink Stuff so no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or these versatile and easy-to-use cleaners. They can also remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!
This comes with a tub of the TikTok-famous cleaning paste and multipurpose cleaning spray.
Promising review: “WOW!!!! This stuff is amazing. I literally just have to spray it, let it sit for a few minutes, come back and depending on what I’m using it for I either wipe it right off or use a scrubbing pad and it comes off. There’s nothing out there that compares to this product!!!! This stuff is the absolute best. I highly recommend purchasing this. I can tell you that half of my cleaning products are now going to be thrown out because all I need is The Pink Stuff 😀😀. Whoever invented this stuff is an absolute genius. If you’re a clean freak like me, this really is the way to go. Also it doesn’t have that nasty chemical smell; it smells great. Just buy it won’t regret it.” —Twin33

2. A set of heel caps because it's stiletto weather but you shouldn't have to risk sinking into dirt and grass just to look sharp.
Promising review: "I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." —J L D

3. A bottle of Fanola purple shampoo to help brighten your hair without spending $$$ on a trip to the salon. It tones down pesky brassy hues so your hair's color is more even.
Just don't use it for more than three minutes (once a week), because then your hair will turn lavender (unless you're into that, which some reviewers are!!!).
Promising review: "I never write reviews, but this shampoo is amazing. I always struggle with brassy tones almost immediately after getting highlights and I could never find a good no-yellow shampoo until now. My stylist recommended this and it did not disappoint. After leaving it on for about four minutes, my hair looks like I just got it done professionally again. It does still leave hair a bit dry, but not as dry as some other purple shampoos. I plan on using this once a week at least to help keep my perfect tone between highlights. 100% recommended to anyone who struggles with the brass!" —Kassandra

Get it from Amazon for $5.57+ (available in three sizes).
4. An easy-to-use rose gold rechargeable electric lighter that's also wind- and moisture-proof because lighting a candle, campfire, or joint on a windy day shouldn't feel like an Olympic event.
Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this on a TikTok and knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite0312

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in five colors).
5. Hydrocolloid acne patches if you need help preventing yourself from picking/popping your pimples, which could lead to scarring. These ultra-thin, translucent patches will absorb pimple pus (yuck) to reveal calmer-looking skin (yay).
Promising review: “I do not claim to understand the science behind this tiny miracles, but they have changed my life. I spent my workday looking forward to going home and putting one of these bad boys on my newly erupted Mt. Zit and the overnight results were shocking. Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater in my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick pick pick.” —Adg

6. A pet hair remover so you'll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that's been calling it home in a few quick swipes. And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...
Promising review: "I am allergic to cats, so here I am with two cats who shed. Their hair is covering all the furniture. I have special pet covers on my bed to protect my comforter but I hate having to sleep under it since my cats sleep on my bed. I have tried so many cat hair remover brushes, gloves, and sponges that never worked. I was ready to shave the cats and call it a day. Then along comes the ChomChom brush. It not only has the lint roller but a bar that collects the hair. I love the little hairball container of the roller so I don't have to spend time cleaning off the lint brush. I can't believe this product works! I have an off-white couch and I didn't realize how much hair there was. After I used it, my couch looked lighter in color. I got my comforter cleaned off in minutes. It's a simple and inexpensive way to cure your pet hair woes." —Dondi
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
7. The Bacon Sponge — a biodegradable, 100% organic cotton sponge that absorbs 10 times its weight so you won't break a sweat cleaning up after a greasy meal or go through a ton of single-use paper towels.
In Denver, small business Green City Living creates products to help you and your family live a greener, more sustainable life. They also donate 2.5% of their sales to Climate Emergency Fund, an organization that supports climate activists.
Promising review: "I absolutely love the Bacon Sponge. I feel it absorbs oils better than paper towels and the cleanup is easy! I’m ordering a second for big batches of food." —Karen
Get it from Green City Living on Amazon Handmade for $14.99.
8. A water-based carpet spot remover because all cleanups should be quick and easy! No matter the stain — pet accidents, grease, red wine, coffee, rust, food, dirt, and grime — it'll be gone in mere moments.
Promising review: “I just have to write a review on this! We just bought a house and the previous owner and his adult son were quite lazy when it came to cleaning up spills. The very light carpet was stained from dumped drinks, so I immediately had the carpet professionally cleaned and I actually watched him using stain-removing products that did not work. I ordered this Folex spot remover based on the high reviews. With fingers crossed, I used it on the carpet stain. I came back about 10–15 minutes later, and OMG, it was GONE. Completely gone!! Unbelievable!” —taliaferrovaia
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
9. A pack of teeth-whitening pens to help get rid of coffee and wine stains for far less money than you might've thought. This pen's soft-bristle brush is perfect for anyone with sensitive teeth. It even makes application as easy as saying CHEESE!
Promising review: “I was hesitant to try a new teeth-whitening product after using harsh whitening strips that caused pain and lingering sensitivity. But, as a coffee and red wine drinker, I wanted to find a solution. This teeth-whitening pen is terrific. Easy to use, works well and does not have the downside of either the strips or the $450 option at the dentist. I also really love this product since whitening my front teeth is the objective. It is a great value as I anticipate the two pens that are included will last one year. I will definitely buy this again and am very happy to recommend it.” —Rebecca Shehee
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.59.
10. Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.
Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true." —KS
Get it from Amazon for $3.78.
11. An eight-second L'Oreal lamellar rinse-out treatment for shinier, healthier, and silkier hair in, well, eight seconds. Its amino acid-rich formula specifically targets damaged areas and smooths them out.
Use this two to three times per week after shampooing your hair, and remember not to use it on your scalp. This treatment is just for the length of your hair.
Promising reviews: "I have type 3c hair and struggle with a lot a breakage and moisture. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey
"I bought this stuff on a whim because I'm always in the market for products that promise to smooth frizz and enable easier blowouts. My hair is almost shoulder length and has been through a lot of damaging bleach and harsh keratin treatments. Honestly, I was shocked at how well this worked. After one use, my hair was so easy to blow-dry. It came out straight with just a paddle brush and I was able to skip the flat iron. It still had bounce and volume, though. I'm a huge fan!" —LisaG
Get it from Amazon for $9.87.
12. A bottle of Poo-Pourri toilet spray so when you go to do your business, it stays *your* business. Just spray a few times into the bowl before you go, and leave the bathroom smelling like a spa since Poo-Pourri is actually made of essential oils!
Promising review: "I didn't think I would like this, but it works! I was shocked. My husband has very regular BMs and that usually means that the rest of us have to avoid that part of the house for at least a little while. I got this for his birthday as a gag gift, but we tried it and it works amazingly well! The only downside is that I'm starting to associate the pleasant citrus scent with poop as well. It is not a subtle coverup, as anyone who walks by the bathroom will smell a great outpouring of citrus, but it's better than the alternative! Since then, we have also purchased other scents, which are also pleasant without being excessively overwhelming." —steel_muffins
Get it from Amazon for $9.28.
13. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes if your plants aren't growing as fast as they should. Just stick one of these in your planters and your leafy babes will be continuously fed for up to two months!
Promising review: "I swear by these plant food spikes!!! The package says they are for indoor plants, but I actually use them for all of my outdoor plants, especially my herbs. I first tried these after planting some basil and other herbs that seemed to be taking an eternity to grow. I went to a local home improvement store and searched the garden center for plant food but many of them were priced much higher than I was willing to spend until I found these spikes. I figured I'd give them a try since they were so inexpensive and wow!!!!! Within just a few days, my plants had grown more than double what they had grown in the previous several weeks!!" —GatorDO17
Get 48 spikes from Amazon for $3.62.
14. An acne-fighting body wash formulated using 10% benzoyl peroxide because this wash is gentle on skin but harsh on acne!
Promising review: "For years I have struggled with really embarrassing back acne. I was a field hockey goalie in high school (gross, sweaty pads on my body) and played lacrosse in college (constant sweating under the hot Florida sun). Even after college, my back acne continued and left embarrassing scars. Now I’m 25 and still workout a lot, so my persisting back acne is SO embarrassing. All I ever wanted to do was wear a low open back dress and feel comfortable. And unfortunately, I don’t have health insurance so going to the dermatologist was out of the picture. About to give up and get laser treatment for my back, I ran across this wash and decided to give it a try. And WOW. I actually wish I had taken a before picture, but I think I was too embarrassed by my back to do so. Now I NEVER get back breakouts and it’s even healed some of my scarring! I’m so happy I found this product!! I wish I had found it years ago!" —joanna youssef
Get it from Amazon for $24.92.
15. A super-colorful 15-piece makeup brush set to ensure your lewks are just as bold and beautiful.
Promising review: "I knew nothing about this brand so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was drawn to the fun colors, which match my room. I was amazed by the quality of these brushes. They are made well with sturdy handles and super soft bristles. They also wash well. Zero shedding." —gina diodati
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
16. A can crusher that'll help you make room in your recycling bin for even more trash. This will crush cans to 20% of their original size! It also just looks really fun to use...
Promising review: "I'm sorry to tell the can community that I've killed many of their brethren with this device. I think the other cans now recognize me and are trying to flee when I walk into the store, but they too will get what's coming to them. Muahahaha. Seriously, though, this is a good crusher. It does what I bought it for. The cans had no chance." —Markus
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes).
17. A revitalizing hair protein treatment for conditioning and repairing dry, damaged, and over-processed hair. TBH I'm already obsessed with your hair evolution!
Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good, I have really missed my hair's soft texture. This treatment works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair, which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking. When I woke up, my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product! I have long, fine hair, but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie
Get it from Amazon for $7.50.
18. Downy Wrinkle Releaser fabric spray in case you have no time, space, or energy to iron. That's not a problem! Just spray, smooth, and hang to dry for wrinkle-free clothes in no time flat!
19. A pack of puppy training pads made with activated carbon to absorb and neutralize odors quickly. They've got five layers of leakproof protection so you don't have to worry about messes making their way to your floor. And these pads are great for senior dogs, too!
Promising review: "Who writes a review on piddle pads? Well, evidently me. I’ve been around in the puddle pad world and tried all kinds. There are two reasons I’ve changed over to this brand. Color: instead of white pads with standout lovely yellow spots, these seem to absorb and camouflage the pee pee. That’s just a visually good thing. And the second reason I'm sold? Weight and size: I’m not sure what kind of crazy magic is going on here, but this appears to be a thin pad, not cottony or quilted. But it absorbs the same amount. And puppies who like to shred them aren’t as likely to do so with these; maybe it's their lack of fluff content?" —Ronda Gilger
Get 14 pads from Amazon for $6.48+ (available in four sizes and larger packs).
20. A Luminoodle — an LED strip that'll backlight your TV so you get HD quality at a severe fraction of the cost!
Promising review: "OK, people. I don’t write reviews. But this thing is so amazing that I am compelled to tell you that you need it. Seriously. It made my TV look HD. Even better, my eye strain is gone! Amazing. I will be getting more of these for all my TVs." —linschaos
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five sizes).
21. A one-step Elizavecca foaming clay mask because it'll help de-clog your pores and remove excess sebum. Reviewers rave about how glowy their skin looks after using it!
Promising review: "I decided to try this mask based on the high customer rating and affordable price just to see if it would live up to the hype. I just finished washing it off my face and I have to say I do see a difference, albeit not a dramatic one. I have enlarged pores in my T-zone and issues with blackheads around my chin and after one use, my pores appear smaller and tighter and most of the smallest blackheads and bumps are gone from around my chin. I am impressed but I think with regular use it might make an even bigger difference — maybe a couple of times a week. Oh yeah, it's also really fun to watch and feel the bubbles foaming up on your face!" —Elisabeth

22. A curly hair children's leave-in detangling conditioner made with jojoba oil, vitamin B5, and plum seed oil to make wash day for your little one waaaay easier.
Promising review: "I bought this for my 2-year-old. She has these GORGEOUS curls that were frizzy and dull-looking. I saw this product had incredible reviews and decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. Since you can put it on damp or dry hair, I put it in her hair right when it arrived (which was dry at the time), gave it a couple 'scrunches' and her curls have never looked better. The best part: They have lasted through nap time and the following day. I would highly recommend!" —Grace
Get it from Amazon for $9.69.
23. A super smart soap-dispensing sponge caddy that'll fill your sponge with the perfect amount of dish soap so you never waste any in your efforts to keep every dish perfectly pristine. Just press down and voilà!
Promising review: "This product is amazing. You need this in your kitchen. It delivers the perfect amount of soap every time and gets your dishes squeaky clean. But wait, there’s more! When your sponge is done with a hard day of washing dishes, you can feel comfortable laying it down in a bed that prevents soap scum around your sink. In the words of Nat, 'Buy this product, champions.'" —Christian
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in four colors).
24. An eco-friendly oven scrub cleaner for tackling all the caked-on messes you've learned to ignore. It's made with natural ingredients (including pumice stone and baking soda), so you'll get your oven back without all the toxic fumes.
Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products.
Promising reviews: "This product is amazing! It works fast with pretty minimal elbow grease. The stainless-steel sponge that comes with it makes it easier. And it smells great!" —Melissa C.
"This cleaner exceeded my expectations! I have the nastiest oven and thought it would never be clean due to all the baked on grease. But this amazing oven scrub took it all away!" —kahernandez75
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99+ (available in three scents).
25. A set of bed sheet detanglers from Shark Tank so you can stop spending hours in the jungle of your laundry trying to not get devoured by fitted sheets. These will also ensure your sheets actually dry instead of coming out like a moist hairball.
Wad-Free is a woman-owned small business working to make sure your laundry day isn't in vain! After wasting time and energy on wadding problems, Cyndi Bray invented Wad-Free for bedsheets.
Promising review: "I was mildly skeptical, but it works exactly as promoted! I've used it five times and each time there's been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases balled up and still wet when the dryer goes off. Super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the fitted sheet so I don't have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these as gifts. LOVE it!" —Amazon Customer
26. An allergy supplement to help your itchy pup stop scratching due to skin, seasonal, or environmental allergens. They're also rich with vitamins, antioxidants, and probiotics said to support digestion and immunity.
Promising review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine...nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He’s the happiest he’s been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats...he eats these every time, so that’s an added bonus!" —Darcie Nation

27. A plant-based, color-changing blush that reacts to your skin's pH level to create a natural-looking color. No need to waste time finding the perfect shade. It'll absorb super quickly into your skin so you'll have vibrant skin in no time!
Youthforia is a woman-owned small business aiming to make makeup that's not only good for your skin but is also not bad for you to sleep in! The founder, Fiona Co Chan, even tested the blush by sleeping in it for two months! They are passionate about being environmentally-friendly and not using fossil fuels or gross toxins in their products.
Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glow-y 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
28. A cute leather Bagnet because your favorite bar has amazing cocktails and dirty floors. You'll never have to put your purse on the ground as long as you have this sturdy bag magnet!
Bagnet is a woman-owned small business based in Sacramento working to make your lives easier.
Promising review: "I love these! I have one on every bag I own." —Lori S
Get it from Bagnet for $26.99 (available in other colors). They're also available on Amazon for $21.99+ (available in 13 styles).
29. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover that'll easily remove new (or old) dirt, blood, oil, and cosmetics stains from your clothes, carpets, and more! A bit of klutz? Then you'll wanna add this hypoallergenic spray to your toolkit.
Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long presoak (I mean like six hours) in OxiClean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes and two styles).
30. A pair of grocery bag holders so you don't have to make multiple trips from your car to the front door just to get everything inside. No more carrying five bags in one hand and having their handles dig into your skin.
Promising review: “OK, I admit I'm that guy who will overload trying to carry as many grocery bags possible to minimize trips. Yes. Guilty. The downside? Those darn loop handles of the plastic bags turn into something like razor wires and feel like they are slicing the tendons of my fingers. And I suspect one day I will lose a finger or two that way. The Mighty Handle is perfect for saving your fingers, while allowing you to carry a ton of bags and weight. And people who have seen me using them at the local Safeway are always asking me about them. I could tell that more than a few were likely considering how to take me down in the parking lot so they could separate me from these cool handles.” —Jim
Get them from Amazon for $13.95.
31. A bug bite suction tool from Shark Tank if you're excited for tank tops and short shorts but not the fact that you'll be exposed to some nasty bloodsuckers. It pretty much sucks the irritant out from under your skin so you can live an itch-free life.
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) and immediately after use, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bite = gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing but that is a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four colors).
32. A makeup-correcting stick because having to completely remove your makeup to correct a mistake wastes time you simply do not have. Plus, it's infused with anti-inflammatory vitamin E, which will help your face feel moisturized!
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.
33. A foot exfoliation mask to release you from the curse of dry, cracked skin. Formulated with natural ingredients like papaya and aloe vera, this gel mask will reveal soft and moisturized feet in as little as two weeks.
Promising review: "These were amazing! They actually did what they claimed they would. My feet were peeling in five days. Starting on the third day, I made sure to soak them for at least 10 minutes. It took about three to four days for them to stop peeling but the results are amazing. My feet feel so new!" —Nov.Rein
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three scents and pack sizes).
34. A pack of stain removal pads for getting rid of those pesky pet stains by simply setting the pad down and stepping on it. No scrubbing needed! They'll lift away even the most set-in stains!
Promising review: “These things are AMAZING. They are magical. If you have a pet that has accidents in the house, these are a MUST-HAVE. After your pet has an accident, all you need to do is open up the packet, place the pad on the accident spot, and then step on the pad to release the magic formula. Leave it there for at least a half an hour or up to 24 hours. Why the discrepancy, you might be asking? Because these pads work on DRIED STAINS! My puppy has been driving me bonkers with accidents in the house, but I don't sweat it anymore thanks to these pads. I will always have a supply of them in my house going forward.” —Lisa Koivu
Get 20 pads from Amazon for $27.49.
35. An electric egg cooker that effortlessly prepares perfect eggs, so you don't have to worry about cracking into a hard-boiled egg and finding a runny yolk. Get ready for near-instant hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, and omelets!
It comes with a measuring cup so you pour the perfect amount of water for the style of eggs you want.
Promising review: "If you eat hard-boiled eggs often, this is absolutely 100% worth the money just for that. My eggs come out perfect every time. No green rings. No rubbery whites. And they're easy to peel every time. It's easy, faster than boiling water, and every egg turns out the same. It makes other kinds of eggs too, and according to the booklet you can steam veggies and other things in it, too. But OMG even if you only ever used it for hard-boiled eggs, it's worth it. I don't think I've ever given a product 5 stars like this before. Also, skeptics: yes, I know boiling eggs isn't hard. It's the consistent results with even less effort that's remarkable." —Crockery
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight colors).

36. A Star Wars lightsaber chopsticks set so you feel like a Jedi master during your next sushi meal. You can easily turn the lights on or off with a button at the top.
The chopsticks come with new batteries, but if the batteries go out, you can replace them with 3 x LR41 camera batteries.
Promising review: "Both my grandkids know how to eat with chopsticks and they loved the bigger size. All kinds of games could be played after eating and even the adults were into a laser fight." —Lynell
Get four pairs of chopsticks from Amazon for $22.97.
37. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent anymore of your reds and blues from turning your whites into tie-dye creations. Just toss one of these into the wash and it'll soak up all loose dyes!
Promising review: “I’ve used Color Catchers for many years, so I can wash darks and lights together. They save time and money. (I’ve given boxes to each of my children as they headed off to college.) You can tell they work because you see the color they soak up. Recently, a new purple shirt took me by surprise and ran profusely. I had two color catchers in that load, and they both turned deep violet.” —Go Steelers
Get 72 sheets from Amazon for $11.53.
38. A pack of Magic Eraser sheets that'll easily scrub oil off a stove or soap scum from a shower wall. Get into those nooks and crannies harboring dust bunnies that love to hop into your nose and cause a sneeze storm.
Promising review: "I had two challenging cleaning projects that I could not solve: outside windows covered with leftover contractor goop after siding replacement, and a filthy shed door that just would not get clean. Amazingly, these sheets took care of both. It took a bit of elbow grease to get the windows, but I couldn't get anything else to work." —Michele W
Get 48 wipes from Amazon for $25.50+ (available in two styles).
39. A microwave pasta cooker you just fill with pasta and water then chuck in the microwave for fast and easy meals that reduce the amount of water (and time) you'd waste otherwise.
Promising review: "This is the first time I've taken the time to write a review for anything I've purchased from Amazon. I live alone and my schedule gets me out of the door about 1:00 pm and back home between 10-10:30 pm. After suffering a heart attack a few years back I've been doing my best to eat healthier (no processed foods, everything cooked from scratch). I have a great 15 minute pasta sauce recipe from Cook's Illustrated that's fast and tasty but pulling out the big pot, filling it up, waiting for the water to boil, dropping the pasta and waiting for it to finish really meant that this was something I had to prepare in advance and reheat when I got home. Not anymore. I've owned this Fasta-Pasta maker for over four months now and I highly recommend it. I measure out the pasta, put in the water, drop in the pasta, put it in the microwave and set it for 15 minutes. While it's cooking away, I make my sauce and both are done at the same time. A healthy meal in a short amount of time with minimal clean-up. It absolutely works as advertised. If it disappeared I would immediately purchase another. Buy it, you won't be disappointed." —Dokrok5150
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
40. A luxe automatic spice grinder so you can easily top off your home-cooked meals with salt or pepper. You'll be glad to keep this cool mill on your kitchen counter or dining room table. It has interchangeable salt and pepper pods so you can get the most bang for your buck.
BTW, we have a full roundup dedicated to little kitchen upgrades you can get today!
Promising review: "I just got one of these snazzy kitchen gadgets, and now every time I use it I think to myself, "How was I living life before this thing?!" It finely grinds salt down to that nice flaky texture, and then easy pops out the pod if I want to use pepper. I even got a different type of pod ideal for more oily spices (think mustard or flax seed). Now I am looking for reasons to use this thing... Salt on cake???" —Kayla Suazo
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (comes with two interchangeable pods; available in six colors).
41. An essential oil stick made with a blend of essential oils to help target and potentially soothe headaches and neck pains.
Promising review: "I have had tension and migraine headaches for around 20 years. I have tried everything. OTC medication, prescription medication, pain injections, chiropractors, etc... This topical oil has given me relief for nearly six weeks now. I have only had two to three headaches in that time and they were mild. I ordered more already so I have some in my car and at home. I also bought some for two of my friends who suffer from chronic migraines. I would recommend this product to anyone with migraines. It is phenomenal." —Mary D.

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
42. An oil-absorbing face roller made using absorbent volcanic stone that'll soak up any excess oil. Instant matte skin FTW!
Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." —Jennifer Helseth
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
43. A ceramic koi pond incense burner for a soothingly smoky waterfall. Fill your space with delightful aromas, and let the calm wash over you.
44. A jewelry cleaning stick with OMG-worthy results that'll bring your tarnished jewelry back to life. This cleanser is safe to use on diamonds as well as precious and semi-precious stones, so break out your jewelry box and sparkle away.
Promising review: "This little pen brush is incredible! I wasn't sure if it would work well on my emerald engagement ring since it's mostly advertised for diamonds, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have been wearing the ring since getting engaged in October, and even though I had it cleaned at the jeweler's in April, it just didn't seem as bright as it was when it was new and I thought it would just always be a little cloudy. But after cleaning it once with the Dazzle Stik I was blown away by the difference — it looks as bright and sparkly as when I first got it! I'm so glad I didn't buy an ultrasonic cleaner since this is so much less expensive and easier and gentler — it took me less than a minute to clean and I can do it whenever I want! And it's honestly better than when the jeweler cleaned it. So thrilled!" —KFray
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
45. A set of no-show floating bookshelves to make your books look like their floating in midair, for anyone that appreciates and magical and/or minimalist aesthetic.
Promising review: "Since I have a bajillion books for my baby, I thought that this would make a fun way to decorate the walls and have a unique magical feel of books just suspended from the wall. Also it was a simple installation. I don't like to drill into my studs if possible. I would rather keep the integrity of those in tact. But you can literally screw these right into the drywall and even with the weight of heavy books it doesn't seem to matter. Those suckers are there to stay!" —Elizabeth Salton
Get a set of three from Amazon for $34+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and individually).
46. A prismatic window film that'll ~cast~ brilliant rainbows in your house whenever the sun shines through. And for major bonus points, it'll add a bit of privacy!
Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat." —J. B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in 10 sizes).
