1. 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!
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
Get it from Amazon for $19.54+ (available in two scents).
2. A cute lil' octopus-shaped blackhead remover to gently scrub away excess sebum and exfoliate your pores. It'll help remove blackheads, whiteheads, and whatever else is trapped in your clogged pores.
Promising review: "I have awful pores and am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flakey skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done my face looked SO much better and was super smooth I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" —Diane Delfino
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
3. 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.
Get a pair from Amazon for $9.90 (also available as a four-pack).
4. A pack of K-Cup cleaners if you haven't cleaned your machine in awhile and your coffee hasn't been tasting quite like coffee. Pop one of these cups into your Keurig to give it the deep clean it's been needing.
Promising reviews: "I use these every six weeks or so to keep my machine from getting gnarly and disgusting. They do exactly what they promise and are super easy to use. Staple in my household since trying them for the first time." —Azure Look
“I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!” —Corey West

5. A antifog LED mirror so you can ~shave~ time off getting ready for the day by shaving in the shower. Or use it to better detangle your hair. The possibilities are endless.
Promising review: "This deluxe shaving mirror saves me about 15 minutes in the morning. If you're anything like me, 15 minutes in the morning is like an hour in daytime hours. I really like not having to keep up with and apply the antifog sprays to the mirror, which only temporarily work (so I hear). Filling the back with water that goes in the back of the mirror only takes about 10 seconds and discarding the water after shaving takes about five seconds. Shaving in the shower with all the steam makes your shaving experience much closer and comfortable, I find. Like I said, when I wake up in the morning, I stumble to the shower FIRST. No more going to the sink, washing my face, shaving, AND THEN stumbling to the shower. Excellent way to start the day...and with much less stumbling, my chances are much greater of making it to work... LOL" —Nicholas
Get it from Amazon for $39.95.
6. A mini cutting board for preparing small bites! Why whip out a massive cutting board just to slice cheese or apples?
Promising review: "I needed a cutting board to leave on the counter to cut lemons for tea. I wanted something small but functional that could be left on the counter all the time. This cutting board fit the bill, and because there are two I always have a clean one. It's also great for cheese or other small bites." —Rachel O
Get set of two from Amazon for $11.95.
7. An undetectable mouse mover because sometimes you need to take an extended bathroom break, which would mean looking like you're not active on Google Chat, Teams, or Slack. Perfect for those working from home!
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight styles).
8. A self-closing toothpaste cap to keep things mess-free! It'll also help you dispense the perfect amount of toothpaste every single time.
Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." —Kimberly C.
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.95.
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: "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 a pack (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.78.
10. A silicone microwave mat if you're tired of burning your hands grabbing your leftovers from the microwave. It can even be used to cover your food so no spaghetti sauce splatters stain the roof of your microwave.
Promising review: "Lots of uses, but my favorite is using the mat bent to pick up a hot container. Containers generally get too hot to handle, and I have generally forgotten to put a plate under them. So, I've had to use sometimes slippery mitts on the sides of the dish without any support under the dish. This mat is the perfect solution — easy to pick up and carry, put down the dish, and return the mat to the microwave." —jrh0
Get it from Amazon for $6.49+ (available in two sizes).
11. 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 $29.99.
12. An extra-large spatula because flipping a pancake shouldn't cause Olympic-level stress. Life is hard enough as it is. Plus, this ergonomic and extra thin spatula is super easy to clean.
Promising review: "I needed something to flip a Thai omelet, cooked in a half-inch of oil. I could never get the omelet out in one piece — this spatula does the trick. It is quite thin and flexible at the tip, which worked for my purposes to go tightly down the side of the pan." —Kaye
Get it from Amazon for $20.80 (available in two colors).
13. An over-the-sink colander to make drying your dishes and washing fruits and veggies an easier task.
Promising review: "This strainer is not just for food. It can be used to drain small items after washing. It is so versatile. I used to have five strainers of different sizes. Now I use this one and that's it. Convenient to store. Make it the smallest size and put it away. I have stretched it to fit over my sink, then put a cutting board over the sink next to it to chop and rinse. Just like the expensive sink work-stations, but DYI." —BJG
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six colors and in packs of two).
14. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll remove years' worth of calluses quick and easy. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let it do its magic, and rinse!
Promising reviews: "This is a Hail Mary! This is hands-down the best product ever!!!! I have been using this product on my clients and it has made my job so much easier and less time consuming." —Diamante Valentine
"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned to be very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they have ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
15. The Pink Stuff 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 reviews: "I have never seen my sink so clean! It removed the limescale with a regular wash cloth and a little scrubbing." —Cndrla
"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
16. A toilet seat lifter so you never have to touch the mysteriously soiled underside of your toilet seat.
Plus, Lifty Loo is a small business!
Promising review: "Why not encourage clean bathroom habits, right? Especially with two young boys in the house, buying this just made sense. The tabs have stayed on for over a month now with no issues. It’s also great that the box comes with two. The only reason why I was hesitant to get them was that I thought they would look ugly, but they’re not too noticeable at all and don’t get in the way, either. I’m very happy I found these!" —Daphne
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.97.
17. A hydrating curly hair shampoo for kids because it's formulated with murumuru butter and rice amino acids, which may help tame frizz, hydrate hair, and offer curl definition. It also detangles as it cleans and we love a multitasker!
Fairy Tales Hair Care is a mom-owned small business using natural ingredients to care for your little one's hair.
Promising review: "We have been using this for a little over a year now, and it has hydrated my son’s curly hair so we haven’t felt the need to switch! It leaves his hair smelling nice, soft, and shiny." —Brianna DiLuzio
Get it from Fairy Tales Hair Care on Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes).
18. A MacBook shortcut keyboard cover to make you feel like the tech savvy maverick you are deep down inside. Easily hide bookmarks, open AirDrop, open new windows, and more! Plus, this silicone cover is easy to type on and easy to remove for cleaning.
Promising review: "This keyboard cover is amazing! The colors are bright and the design is cute. The quick key cheat sheet (as I like to call it) is a lifesaver! All of my coworkers ask me where'd I get it and always are impressed by the cheat sheet's detail. I chose this product only because the color scheme would look good with the pack of stickers I selected to sticker bomb my laptop, but it turned out to be a much more valuable asset to a new Apple user like me!" —Bee
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
19. An automatic shutoff safety outlet that you can set to shut off after one, two, four, or eight hours. Never be afraid that you left your hot pot or hair straightener on at home while you're sitting in the airport.
Promising review: "I have a really bad habit of forgetting to unplug my hair straightener, but this little guy saves the day! I can now keep it plugged in and set this for one hour, which is plenty of time for the straightener to heat up and for me to straighten my hair. It's saved me a lot of stress." —Tori Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
20. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because all of life's little messes should be quick and easy to clean. Say goodbye to those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains!
Promising reviews: "I am really impressed by this carpet spot remover. I haven’t found anything that works as well. I used it on pet stains that were months old. One treatment with this and they were gone. Works exactly as promised." —Diana L. Williams
"I seldom write product reviews but I will in this case. The only reason I'm giving the Folex 5 stars is because there's no place to give it 10. My dog, Sweetie, while playing on the tan carpeting in the family room, got hold of a blue Pilot G2 pen and chewed through the outer casing and through the ink cartridge, leaving an approximately 6-inch-by-12-inch area of carpeting splotched with blue ink. It took four or five applications, but following the label instructions to the letter, the spot was totally removed. Way to go Folex. Outstanding!" —Bob
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
21. A duvet cover-changing set so you don't have to spend hours fighting your sheets. With these champs, you won't even need a second pair of hands to help you! It works by holding your duvet cover/duvet in place at the top of your bed so your duvet doesn't slip when you pull the cover down to the foot of your bed.
Promising review: "Duvaid is a game changer. I hate when my wife asks me to change our duvet cover because it's such a pain to do it by yourself. You're trying to hold the end at the head of the board in place while pulling the cover down to the other end of the bed without the comforter shifting and sliding. Impossible. Until Duvaid. It works effortlessly — just put one grip under the mattress, lock in the corner of the comforter and cover into the other grip, repeat for the other side, and you can easily slide the cover over your comforter. It's like magic. Doing this household chore will never be the same." —DC and Valerie
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.59.
22. A 180-capacity battery organizer with a built-in battery tester because there's no need to hold onto to the dead ones from your remote control.
Promising review: "If you have a bunch of batteries sitting in boxes, blister packs, or an open container, this will help you organize them and find them later. The case is big and provides a good AA-heavy storage setup. The included tester is a great addition, and let me know which ones to throw away or recharge instead of just storing them. It holds the batteries securely in place but still keeps them easy to extract." —Aphoid
Get it from Amazon for $19.80.
23. A heatless curling rod headband to give you those beachy waves you've been dreaming of. Just wrap your hair before bed and wake up with gorgeous curls!
Each set comes with a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place.
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 that's 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 six colors).
24. A fume-free oven cleaner so you can erase that cheesy meltdown your pizza had earlier today. This heavy-duty cleaner can remove grime, stains, and caked-on food in 30 seconds!
Reviewers do suggest letting the cleaner sit overnight for really tough messes.
Promising review: "So cleaning my oven is not my strong suit, but I ordered this and it easily removed the spots from the oven window and the bottom of my oven! Definitely a keeper!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
25. A wall-mounted retractable clothing rack that'll save space in your laundry room. When you're done air-drying your clothes, you simply fold it down and voila!
Promising reviews: "MUCH better than the foldable floor type. It doesn't fold up and fall over like the other one we had did all the time. It stays out of the way and holds a lot of wet clothes for easy drying. VERY sturdy." —Elizabeth Sanders
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors).
26. An ear-washing bottle for easy removal of wax buildup. Reviewers noted that the process was not only easy but comfortable, too.
Promising review: "My son has earaches all the time. Took him to ear doctor and they basically said he's got a lot of ear wax buildup and to purchase this item. I was skeptical at first but as soon as I used it on my son, he had so much relief because all of the hardened wax was pumped out. I use it on myself and it's worth every penny and so much cheaper than going to the ear doctor every other month." —Tootie
Get it from Amazon for $29.45.
27. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. Because if a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.
Promising review: “I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman
Get six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
28. A pack of 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: “These patches are the only reliable way to shrink an existing pimple. I always get pimples that swell up but won’t come to a head. I’ve tried all the lotions, creams, salves, hot compresses, etc. Nothing worked on existing pimples. But these patches take the swelling right down. For really bad ones, it sometimes takes a couple of days of wearing the patches. But it will go away (much faster than the one to two weeks it always takes if I just do nothing). Plus the patch keeps you from touching or picking at it.” —snowmentality
Get 72 stickers from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in a pack of 36).
29. A set of soda can "lids" that'll pretty much turn your can into a bottle so you can save your pop for later. Reviewers also say these are great for keeping sand off their drinks while at the beach!
Promising review: "We switched from plastic bottles to soda cans, and I rarely drink the whole can in one sitting. This top saves the remainder with no discernible change in fizziness from one day to the next." —Patrice
Get a set of six from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in six colors and sets of 12).
30. A pack of chicken-flavored Pill Pocket dog treats to make giving your pup their meds a little easier. No more messing with peanut butter or cheese when you've got these yummy and soft treats!
Promising review: "Our dog loves them; they're gone in an instant! My dog doesn't know what to make of a pill and just thinks it isn't food and isn't interested. Wrap it in this and it is gone in an instant. I don't think he has yet realized that there is a pill inside after a year using these. Our small dog gets a half allergy pill every morning and evening. I usually break these into halves, quarters, or sometimes even into fifths and just mold it like Play-Doh around the pill." —Tiger
Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in a pack of 60).
31. A transparent monitor attachment you can keep your sticky notes on so you don't lose track of your to-do list in between sending very important emails and attending very important Zooms.
Promising review: "I have 568 stickies on any given day and this is exactly what I needed to keep myself organized. They came packaged nicely, no cracks or scratches, and was easy to adhere. The adhesive is awesome. It's not going anywhere!!! I recommend this to anyone like me who needs a cool place for their notes. You will be the envy of your coworkers!" —Mason's Mom
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles, including with or without phone holder).
32. A hard-boiled egg timer — this changes color to let you know whether your eggs are soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled. Stop guessing and setting timers that end up being waaay off anyway.
Promising review: "Is this 100% necessary? No...however, it does make one thing a little easier for me in the morning. Instead of watching the pot and waiting for the water to boil to start the timer you can just put the NobleEgg in the pot with your eggs, start the heat, and just wait for your eggs to be done. Can't wait to give some as gifts!" —Bailey Boo
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
33. Reusable silicone straws that snap open for easy cleaning post fruit smoothie. Replace all those single-use plastic straws with these!
They're BPA-free!
Promising review: "I never thought I’d be writing a review for straws, but here we are. These are FANTASTIC. I try to be as eco-friendly as possible but was ready to give up. I’ve tried metal straws, but they are tough to clean, and I don’t love metal against my teeth. I’ve tried other reusable plastic and silicone options, but they don’t work for thicker drinks like smoothies. These actually address all of my issues. I’ve used them for thick smoothies that I drink daily and just for other everyday drinks like water. They couldn’t be easier to snap open and clean, dry, then easily snap back into shape to use again." —M. Alexandra
Get a box of eight from Amazon for $9.99 (available in smaller pack sizes).
34. A rose gold rechargeable electric lighter (it'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." —dwhite3012

35. A flower-shaped steam releaser so you don't have to worry about your pot boiling over. The steam even makes the petals spin!
