    27 Practical Things From Amazon You'll End Up Using All The Time

    You'll use them so often, they might become your new best friends. Sorry, Sarah.

    1. A darling little witch spoon rest that just snaps onto your pots and pans so you can keep your spoon nearby and accessible. 

    Promising review: "This little witch is so whimsical and yet helpful! I love seeing it in the kitchen! It makes me smile. Can’t have too much whimsy, or too many smiles." —Dani Elle

    Price: $9.95

    2. A container of silver cleaner and polish cream so you can return your silverware and jewelry to their prime conditions. Just rub the anti-tarnish polish on with the accompanying cloth and then rinse clean!

    Promising review: "I have literally tried every silver cleaner on the market for my jewelry. All of them are harsh chemicals and at the end of the do not clean off tarnish. My pendant was starting to have a brown tint and still nothing. I had pretty much stopped wearing all of my silver pieces. Based on reviews, I ordered this product, not really having much faith it would work. I was so shocked when I cleaned the first piece. I got so excited I cleaned all of my stuff. Now everything is bright and shiny, just like new. Plus, this product has no harsh smell and did not burn my skin when my glove ripped. I will never use any other product besides this one again." —Melissa Aguilera

    Price: $9.99

    3. A mattifying dry shampoo powder whose benzene-free formula is designed to absorb excess sweat, oil, and dirt without leaving behind a white cast. Refresh your hair with this voluminizing powder!

    Promising review: "I never understood how people could go more than two days without washing their hair, and now I know. This has been a lifesaver! I was looking for an alternative to my spray dry shampoo and this is even better. It literally dries up the oil and makes hair look freshly washed." —Mandy

    Price: $18

    4. A collapsible dish drying rack to save counter space — this foldable drainer flattens when it's no longer in use.

    Promising review: "I got this for my camper sink and love it!! You can either set it in the sink and let it drain or set it on the counter to clear up space in the sink. It's the perfect size, too! I love that it expands and collapses so I can easily store it under the sink. Durable material and it seems well made." —Greatdanegrl

    Price: $12.99+ (available in seven colors)

    5. Some deep-reaching, ergonomic "flossing toothbrushes" with dual-layered flossing bristles that are designed to get deep into the grooves of your teeth and gums.

    Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.

    Here's what writer Emma Lord has to say: "I 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." 

    Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

    Price: $9.90 (also available as a four-pack)

    6. An eyeliner stamp so you don't have to trial-and-error your way to the perfect cat-eye. This smudge-proof and waterproof formula will keep you looking fierce all day long.

    Lovoir Beauty is a small biz based in New Zealand!

    Promising review: "I don’t wear makeup because I pretty much don’t know how to...I thought I’d give this a go because I have no skills and can’t do a cat-eye to save my life. But I was able to do this on the first try! I really thought it was going to take a while to get the hang of things but it didn’t! Truly amazing and it stays on all day and comes off easily! Love love love!" —Ilana

    Price: $14.98+ (available in three sizes)

    7. A pack of four cactus-shaped dryer balls to help make sure your clothes and bedsheets dry evenly and completely. Plus, they're reusable and just so darn cute!

    Promising review: "These are the only dryer balls I've found that actually made me not need fabric softener sheets. It cuts down on static, and I don't find pet fur clinging to my clothes when I pull them out of the dryer." —Tianhui Fan

    Price: $7.99+ (available in seven styles and larger pack sizes)

    8. A pair of heat-resistant KitchenAid silicone pot holders because your cotton pot holders are not keeping your hands safe enough from your super hot casserole dish. These are also water-resistant so you don't have to worry about any hot spills seeping through and causing burns.

    Promising review: "I'm thrilled with my pot holder set! The silicone side offers excellent grip and heat protection, making cooking tasks safer and more comfortable. Plus, their color and quality add a nice touch to my kitchen." —Lauren Carter

    Price: $10.99+ (available in 21 colors)

    9. 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: "Takes away that gross smell... 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

    Price: $3.78

    10. A powerful car vacuum designed with a double HEPA filter so no dirt, dust, crumbs, or ash make a home out your car's seats and floors. It also comes with three attachments for an easier time cleaning the different nooks and crannies of your car.

    after image of the same car mat now vacuumed clean

    Promising review: "I have had this vacuum for about six months. I use it at least 2–3 times a week, and it does the job. As a truck driver, I track dirt, grass, and other stuff into my cab, and this vacuum just sucks it all up. You do need to empty it and clean the filter after every use, but that just takes a minute to do. If this one quits, and it shows no signs of doing so, I'll just purchase another." —Kevin

    Price: $27.99+ (available in two styles and colors)

    11. An adjustable magnetic car phone mount to keep Google Maps directions to grandmother's house front and center! And because it has a heat-resistant base, you won't have to worry about this mount falling from its perch on your dashboard.

    Promising review: "This is a great little mount perfect for vehicles with limited dashboard space to mount a device. The adhesive is strong (so place carefully) and the lock nut allows for a great range of adjustability. With the provided magnet placed inside my phone case, my phone stays firmly attached to the mount and stays put even on bumpy terrain. I'm also able to use my MagSafe charger while the phone is mounted (assuming the magnet is placed low enough), which is a big plus. Would recommend this product." —Joe

    Price: $12.99 (available in six other styles)

    12. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!

    after image of the same shower completely clean

    Promising review: “I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'What the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that.” —L. J. Petillo

    Price: $20.98+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two)

    13. An over-the-sink drying rack that has individual compartments for your knives, plates, lids, and dish-cleaning supplies so they don't take up any much-needed counter space while they dry.

    Promising review: "We love this! We have limited counter space, and this has helped so much with opening up more space. We have a newborn and use this for all her bottles and other random stuff. It’s definitely worth the money." —Elizabeth

    Price:  $31.99+ (available in two styles and three colors)

    14. A pet hair remover so good you might not recognize your couch after just one use! And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...

    Promising review: "HOW HAVE I LIVED WITHOUT THIS PRODUCT, OH MY GOD. I have a big Great Dane-pit bull mix with black and white fur that gets everywhere and sticks like the devil. I’ve tried fancy vacuums, lint rollers, that weird yellow sponge thing that’s supposed to be magic, crawling on my hands and knees, plucking each hair one by one, but nothing works. UNTIL NOW. I cannot believe my own eyes, and I can’t wait to use this thing on every surface of the house and buy one for every dog owner I know. Seriously. I have a very clean home, and I can’t believe how much hair I’ve been living within my rugs. It’s disgusting. This product is worth every dang penny." —Amazon Customer

    Price: $24.99

    15. A portable Bissell multipurpose carpet cleaner to take care of those spots and stains on your carpets, car's upholstery, couches, and more. It's got powerful spray and suction so those stubborn pet messes will be gone in mere moments. Deep clean made easy!

    Promising review: “Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers’ couches and look at the difference. It could use one more go to get to the ‘looking like brand new’, but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description, there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn’t believe it would work that well. Well, it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner, get it, you will not be disappointed.” —edina bajraktarevic

    Price: $98

    16. A felt purse organizer because finding unwrapped cough drops covered in lint where you thought your lipstick was is not how you would choose to live your life. Everything you need can have a designated place in your purse thanks to its 13 pockets!

    Promising review: "Life-changer! I live out of my Lululemon bags and totes, and this insert takes them to the next level. I now have compartments for my essentials without having to search for them at the bottom of my bag. I purchased the extra large, and it is perfect for my totes! I also love the ease of moving it from one tote to the next. It also gives the bag support at the bottom, so I can actually sit the bag down without it falling over. The quality is excellent, and it looks like it should have been part of your tote to begin with. I am so happy with this item that I am sharing the link with all my friends. Purchase it! You will not be disappointed." —Melissa C.

    Price: $26.28+ (available in 5 sizes and 25 colors)

    17. A nonstick breakfast maker that'll make omelets, frittatas, quiches, and more! Need an added bonus? You can make up to two omelets at once, and there's no flipping necessary!

    Promising review: "As a working mom with little kids, I usually don't get to have breakfast due to time and focusing on my kiddos getting ready for school. I love this thing! I can now whip up breakfast for myself and leave it to cook for eight minutes without having to watch over a pan while tying shoes, etc." —Brios

    Price: $18.95

    18. A bottle-emptying kit so you can get every last drop of that $$$ serum you treated yourself to. These reusable caps will help save you lots more $$$.

    The kit comes with six adapters (to make them fit various bottle neck sizes) and six purple dispensing stands.

    Promising review: "This is such a great tool for using every last bit of product and reducing waste. We used this on a bottle of lotion that we thought was empty but got nearly six more months out of it when we put this on. We were shocked. I use this for my shampoo and anything else that I can think of." —Felishia Rae

    Price: $19.99 (available in several pack sizes)

    19. A clamp-on under-desk hanger that can be used to house headphones or bags. It's even reversible so you can have these things hanging beneath your desk or a little off to its side.

    Promising review: "So much to like: It's easy as pie to install, it is very solid, and it stays in place. I use it to hang my purse from the back side of the kitchen table. It keeps the purse off the floor and easily accessible. The purse hangers I previously purchased came off the table edge almost every time I took my purse off the hanger. This hanger can handle a lot more weight than my purse." —Nel

    Price: $25

    20. The Pink Stuff all-purpose cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner. This paste has got you covered from your caked-on stove top to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!

    Promising review: "Buy it already! This stuff is genuine magic. I’ve tried a handful of products to get hard water stains off my glass shower doors; it was pretty bad. This stuff took it right off. I’ve used it for various other things around the house, and it just works! I’m sold on The Pink Stuff. It’s my go-to now." —E

    Price: $4.99

    21. A microfiber mop perfect for cleaning up messes on hardwood, laminate, and tile floors. This durable mop features a 360-degree swivel head so you can easily move around furniture and stairs. Cleaning so easy it might even be...fun???

    You'll also get three reusable microfiber mop pads!

    Promising review: "We bought this at the recommendation of our house cleaner, and we love it. With three dogs, there is always something to mop up, so we make heavy use of this. It is extremely simple to use, cleans tile and hardwood well, and the pads are washable. Excellent product." —Amazon Customer

    Price: $29.98

    22. A darling cloud-shaped magnetic key holder so you never misplace your keys again. This easy-to-install key holder needs no hooks since its three powerful magnets can hold up your keychains!

    I have this cute little guy mounted prominently in my entryway and it has kept me from being locked out of my apartment, well, everyday. 

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter

    Price: $7.48

    23. An easy-to-install dual nozzle bidet to clean all your downstairs business and reduce toilet paper use. It also features adjustable water pressure so you can either get a gentle mist or a more powerful stream. 

    Promising review: "This is a game changer for personal hygiene, and I can't sing its praises enough! The installation was a breeze — even for someone like me who's not particularly handy. The clear and straightforward instructions made it a quick and hassle-free process. In a matter of minutes, I had this bidet attachment up and running with no need for a plumber or any special tools. What truly sets this bidet attachment apart is the precise water spout placement. It's spot on, ensuring you get a thorough and accurate cleanse every time. The adjustable pressure and angle controls add a level of customization that's hard to find in other bidet attachments. I appreciate how I can fine-tune the experience to my liking, making it the perfect fit for me." —Jose

    Price: $39.99

    24. A pack of two durable legging organizers because your collection of leggings has just been stuffed in a drawer, taking up space and getting super scrunched up. Make it easier to grab your favorite pair from your closet!

    Promising review: "I bought these because I have limited closet space. The ability to hang 20 pairs of leggings saves me tons of room. I also like the clips that hold the leggings; they do not leave marks on the waistband!" —Sarah

    Price: $15.99+ (also available individually and in a pack of four)

    25. A 24-pocket shoe organizer made of breathable mesh so your shoes can air out without causing a tripping hazard in your entryway. Its slip-resistant hooks will firmly grip the door it's hanging from.

    Promising review: "I had a lot of shoes lying around and not much storage space in my apartment, so I ordered this for $10, figuring, 'What I have to lose?' I’m very pleased with the product. The setup is super simple, and the product was hung up within 30 seconds of opening. I wear a size 13, and the shoes were at the edge of not fitting and gave me some concern at times, but everything still fit, and I’ve had no issues. Pick this up if you want to open up shelf space or don’t have anywhere else to put your shoes." —David M.

    Price: $11.99+ (available in eight colors)

    26. A space-saving spice rack that comes with 28 spice jars, over 300 labels, a chalk marker, and a funnel. Now you'll never have to ~scramble~ to find the salt and black pepper for your omelets. 

    Promising review: "I struggled for years to find a good method to organize our spices. We have small cupboards and only four drawers in our kitchen, one of which is long and narrow, so spices in the drawers weren't an option. After searching all over, I found this spice rack! I absolutely LOVE how organized everything looks. The aesthetic of the organizer and labels makes for a great spice rack! I loved it so much I ordered two of them!" —Aimee Golley

    Price: $32.98 (available in five other sizes)

    27. A pack of two flexible dryer vent cleaners because there's likely a bunch of trapped lint causing your clothes to still come out kinda damp. Use this to get all that gunk out, which will also help to prevent dryer fires!

    Promising review: "I clean my dryer vent after every single use. I was shocked to see so much lint and dust come out! It was very simple to use and it really works! I kept one for myself and gave the other to my daughter." —Shari Schmidt
