1. A lightweight E.l.f. putty primer infused with squalane to help minimize pores and moisturize your skin. This vegan formula will grip your makeup so it doesn't slip and slide all day long.
Promising reviews: “This is definitely a 'buy again!' It goes on incredibly clean and leaves your skin supple and smooth. After applying normal makeup, it feels just incredible and looks fabulous!” —Cheryl Caroll
"Normally my makeup goes on great, but then once it dries it's super crusty and shows my pores. But this made everything so smooth and my skin has never looked so healthy." —Taylor Kessinger
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
2. 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
Get it from Amazon for $8.95.
3. An exfoliating glove that'll easily lift away dead skin because — and I hate to break it to you — you're really not as clean as you think you are.
Promising review: "These mitts have LITERALLY changed my life. They've completely, TOTALLY changed my skin! After having used every cream, lotion, loofah and exfoliating gloves for 15+ years, I am SHOCKED at how efficacious these mitts are!!! You might think you're exfoliating your skin but TRUST ME, you haven't been. You'll be SHOCKED and maybe even a little disgusted when you see how much skin comes off on these gloves the first time you use them. Take a long, warm shower, then, with no soap, use these mitts after you're all rinsed off. Scrub your body well in a circular motion. Then look at the mitts! They'll look like they've been sprinkled with flour! You'll never get that much skin off your body again with subsequent uses, so don't forget to look because it's incredible. And get ready to be bowled over when you dry off. Hello softness!!! I am so worried about not having these mitts one day that I just bought a second pair." —isaidso
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a pack of two).
4. 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 didn’t think I’d write a review about plant food, but these are amazing! I used to just look at plants and they would shrivel and die, but these have made every single one of my plants flourish beautifully! Even succulents in our temperamental Washington weather are thriving. We have them in both our indoor plants as well as our veggies outside." —H Husom
Get 48 spikes from Amazon for $5.60.
5. A cute detangling brush for easily gliding through wet or dry hair, removing those noticeable knots as you go. Whether you need it for you or your little one, it'll get the job done without so much as a single "ouch."
Promising review: “I'm a single dad of a 6-year-old girl and combing her hair is the hardest part of taking care of her. She gets really bad knots in her hair. This brush is the only thing that has ever worked. Thank you so much. She even likes to brush her own hair now.” —Eric Phan
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 10 colors).
6. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. If a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.
Promising reviews: "I had tried lots of white vinegar for two cycles in my 20-year-old dishwasher for the cloudy and powdery dinginess it had started making and it only helped about 30%. We have very hard water. These tablets zapped the buildup and my glass is clear again and colored plastics no longer have the powder-like coating. So glad I took a chance on this!" —J. Holden
“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.
7. 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 tried this after reading all to positive comments in reviews. It really works. I am 48 years old and have large pores, especially on my nose and cheeks. I take a steamy shower, wash my face, and massage the octopus on target areas. Upon arrival, I did it every day for three days, whole face, which was too much but I was so excited with the results. It clears blackheads and I still can't believe it works. My skin was a bit sensitive like after a microderm treatment but only for a day or so after that rigorous cleaning. Now, I just touch up areas once a week or so. It leaves your skin super soft and it smells good too. Plus, it is so cute and easy to find in my drawer of makeup! My new little friend!" —Bobbie
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
8. 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.
9. A 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 box (good for four uses) from Amazon for $8.50.
10. A three-way brush-cleaning tool if you need help removing hair, dust, and any unwanted gunk from your favorite hairbrushes so you're not brushing your clean hair with a collection of dirt.
Promising review: “I cannot believe I have lived my whole life and never had such a unique tool to clean long thick hair out of my brushes! It is inexpensive yet well made. I will mostly buy a few more as gifts for my long-hair friends. Highly recommend this product.” —Piper
Get it from Amazon for $10.95.
11. A pack of two deodorant-removing sponges for removing the annoying (and seemingly permanent) white streaks that haven't come out in the wash.
Promising review: "I'm not really sure what else to say about this besides that it works! I change clothes frequently so this product is a godsend. Gets the deodorant stains right out!" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.98.
12. An anti-blister balm since there's no way you're throwing out those cute booties just because they rub against your ankles! Apply some of this to your feet before putting shoes on to prevent blisters and raw skin.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I wore heels that always give me blisters for eight hours, and I didn't get a single one when using this balm. It really worked! I plan on getting it again and again. I always have it in my bag at work just in case. I did find it necessary to reapply if I took my shoes off and put them on again." —Donna
Get it from Amazon for $9.
13. A grape cutter that'll quickly slice grapes into quarters so they're less of a hazard for your snacking tot. It's also safe enough for your tot to use (with your supervision, of course).
Promising reviews: "LOVE it. It took three minutes to cut grapes that would have taken me at least 10. As a mom of a toddler, those minutes are precious. It was also fun and easy to use." —Jacqueline
"I wish I would’ve had this a LONG time ago. This little gadget has come in so handy. If you have a toddler or small child, you NEED this. It quarters grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives, etc. so they aren’t choking hazards for little ones. So much faster than slicing every tiny grape up yourself. 10/10 would recommend." —Sara Waits
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
14. An electric fabric shaver to safely save your clothes from pills, fuzz, and matted fibers.
Promising review: "This thing is excellent. I just 'repaired' two cashmere sweaters and one modal-blend jersey top to like-new condition. The waste compartment fills up quickly and will start clogging the blades if not emptied frequently. I will share one trick I found for emptying the area around the blades. Remove the waste compartment and hold the unit vertically over a garbage can while turning the defuzzer on. Blades will spin and the rest of the pills will fall out. Enjoy." —Fine Print Reader
Get it from Amazon for $11.39+ (available in six colors and two styles).
15. A pack of six citrus-scented washing machine cleaner tablets because no one wants to toss dirty clothes into a dirty machine. The tablets dissolve to remove any residue that may have built up, so you can be sure your favorite blanket comes out smelling fresh!
Promising review: "I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." —Maggie Dennis
Get the pack of six tablets from Amazon for $11.98.
16. A bottle of Feed-N-Wax wood polish that'll not only enhance your floor's and furniture's shine, but will also layer them with a protective coating of carnauba wax and beeswax, so there's less polishing for you to do in the future.
Promising review: "I LOVED using this in my kitchen. It made my cabinets look like they were recently redone. I didn't do anything extra; I just wiped my cabinets with my normal cleaner and then used this and like magic my kitchen was brand new. I also used it on some shelving, banisters, and my hutch and they all looked amazing. And the hutch wasn't as annoying to dust for a while." —tiffany b
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

18. A stainless-steel TubShroom famous for preventing massive hunks of hair and grime from growing and gaining sentience in our drains.
I went through a few drain protectors before I finally succumbed to the power that is the stainless steel TubShroom. It's durable and works really well. It just does its job! And we love to see it!
Promising review: "This is my second one, and I will keep buying these for my tubs and sinks as needed. They catch much more hair than one might think, and have prevented drain clogs in my house for years! HIGHLY recommended!" —Mr86GT
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
19. 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.
20. An anti-nausea acupressure bracelet so an impromptu road trip, ferry ride, or bout of vertigo won't lead to any day-ruining queasiness.
Promising reviews: "I recently came back from a three-day cruise and I feel amazing. No nausea and no seasickness all because of these sea bands. I wish I found out about them sooner." —Eve
"I have now bought this for the third time. I wear them 24 hours a day, seven days a week because I suffer from extreme vertigo and when I wear this, I experience no vertigo whatsoever. They say not to wear them all the time, but it works!" —C51
Get the pack of two from Amazon for $8.54.
21. A pack of Bed Bands to keep your sheets from slipping and sliding off your bed every time you dare to shift your weight in your sleep.
Bed Band is a small business based in the US!
Promising review: “I love these so much that when we moved and I lost one of the ones we previously had, I purchased more! These are the best things since sliced bread...seriously! The bungee cord that is attached to them is really great, and very durable. The clips are made of strong metal, and sort of like 'alligator clips,' if anyone knows what those are. They open up, and then you can clamp them closed so that they don't open and release the sheet. The black plastic piece in the middle is so that you can either tighten or release the cord and make it tighter or looser. They hold fairly well, and it allows for a custom fit every time you put the sheets on.” —aret21
Get a four-pack from Bed Band on Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors, two lengths, and in larger packs).
22. An ergonomically designed scalp massager that'll help soothe psoriasis, ease itchiness, and provide soothing sensations during your shower.
Amazon reviewers noted that this little buddy worked for their various hair types.
Promising review: "Honestly, I was very skeptical. I've seen these brushes advertised to me on social media for like a year now. I thought, 'Oh that is definitely a gimmick.' So my sister bought one last week. I tried hers and fell in love after only the first use. I'm a man that's suffered from a dry, oily, patchy scalp as well as thin hair my entire life. As I used this, I could literally feels the bristles stimulating and cleaning my scalp. My hair is fuller, softer, and the flakiness is completely gone. I am now a firm believer of this product. Using your fingers don't even hold a candle to this brush. 10/10 would recommend!" —Timothy P.
Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in 10 colors).
23. A set of four self-adhesive shower curtain clips because one of the worst feelings is having cold air ruin what would otherwise be a scalding hot shower. Protect your steam with these clips! They'll also help keep water from splashing onto your bathroom floor.
Promising review: "I have a lot of trouble with leakage around my tub when I shower. I tried double liners, magnets, etc., but the curtain still blows enough to leak onto the floor, and from there, through the ceiling of the dining room downstairs around an infinitesimal gap between flooring and wall. I was desperate, so I gave these a try. Problem solved. Liner stays tight against the tile and can be freed for cleaning." —D Polsky
Get the pack of four on Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of eight).
24. A multi-fabric cleaner if your couch, mattress, and carpet look incredibly, uhhhh, lived on. This formula will remove stains caused by makeup, food, coffee, wine, and more.
Promising review: “I just got a brand-new mattress and my cat got locked in my room and peed on my mattress in two places, leaving two big yellow SMELLY stains! I was worried about finding a product that would be OK on my pillow top mattress. I was skeptical at first with the product being so cheap but the reviews had me sold! I sprayed it on my mattress liberally and waited five minutes as instructed. It says to blot but with my stains I scrubbed and was amazed when the stain started to disappear. I repeated one time and I honestly can’t locate where the stains used to be! Super impressed! Like others I also really appreciated the nice fragrance! Didn’t smell like chemicals at all!” —Hailey Brown
Get it from Amazon for $4.32.
25. A coconut oil-rich leave-in cream you can let air dry for perfectly smooth and hydrated curls! And because it's also made with shea butter, your curls won't crunch. Just frizz-free hair from here on out.
Promising reviews: "Not only did my natural waves come out, but my hair feels so soft and looks healthy. This product is also very cost effective! Highly recommend!" —Carmina
"I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while my waves resemble curls but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product one time so far and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant so I was skeptical but after about 15 minutes I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror and I was amazed. It looked styled. I slept on it and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610

Promising review: “I really love this product. I get questioned often about the product I use on my hair, and I recommend this product.

It creates beautiful definition and shine to the hair.” —Hershey C

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

28. A grout and sealant stain remover because you've got mold and mildew building up and it just ain't cute. Just apply it, wait, and rinse the stains away. You read that right, there's no scrubbing needed!
Promising review: "I struggled for years to clean under clear silicone sealant in our shower. I used everything and have been frustrated that The shower didn’t look as clean as I’d like. Enter this product. Most of the effected areas worked the first time. I reapplied the more stubborn areas a second time and finally the mold was removed. Now my shower is perfectly clean!!" —Drs. B

These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use.

Promising review: “I ordered a pair of SkyClips. I keep one on my desk at work and one in my computer bag for when I travel. I'm able to keep my phone next to my computer. My colleagues comment on what a great idea this is and ask where I got it. When I travel, the SkyClip attaches easily to the tray table in front of me. You can adjust the placement of your phone in one of two grooves, giving you the perfect angle, whether the seat in front of you is reclined or not. This is a far better option than trying to lean my phone against a cup or can.” —Tom Brady

33. An aromatherapy migraine roll-on stick made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender to help provide instant, cooling relief to your temples, neck, and forehead.
Promising review: "I suffer from migraines and nothing helps. When I first came across this stick, I was a bit hesitant but decided to give it a try and I couldn't be happier that I did! No over-the-counter pills could do what this stick did virtually in 20 minutes. I rolled it generously over my temples, the back of my neck, and around my nostrils, and in less than half an hour, my migraine was gone. It has a very sharp (but pleasant) smell, and you can actually feel your blood vessels open up as it works its magic. Now, it's my go-to medicine whenever I get a headache. It's much more natural than swallowing pills and it actually works. Highly recommended!" —Amazon Customer

34. A pair of period-proof underwear because the last thing you need is a ~flow breach~ ruining your new white pants. These are also great for wearing overnight or while doing physical activities since they're leakproof, breathable, and can hold up to two tampon's worth of liquid!
Heads up — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "I deal with PCOS and endometriosis which make my periods HEAVY for the first three to four days. I ordered two pairs of these underwear. They absorbed better than a pad, were comfortable, and the top layer stayed dry. Amazing. I had been thinking about buying the really expensive version of these underwear, but the price was ridiculous. These underwear do exactly what I need them to do for half the price. They are easy to hand wash and hang dry. I plan on ordering more. The stitching and waistband are solid and they don't bunch, don't ride up, and don't roll. They provide front and back coverage. They're literally perfect. If you're on the fence about these, I urge you to give them a try. They'll save you money (no pads or tampons needed, and you won't stain your regular underwear and have to replace them)." —drsmaw

35. A tub of O'Keeffe's hand cream so there's no more suffering from dry, cracked, and sensitive skin! This cream restores moisture and promotes healing, so you can finally go back to living your best life.
Promising review: "I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers every fall and winter for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream and within two and a half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's nongreasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open doorknobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth, and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands." —T.H.

Promising review: "I bought these for my mom's car and mine a while ago and these little things are great. Since I've gotten my license I've hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these it's been a blessing; I feel less like a scared new driver. I'm currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these too! These are also great for backing up, because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind you. They're helpful when I parallel park in the city, and I like parking backwards, so this great for doing that, too." —Mariam Abass

Then, I came upon this little item on Amazon. I decided to give it a try because I figured I've tried everything else. Wow, just, wow...I couldn't believe how much crap this thing was pulling off my tongue. Seriously, if you have suffered from bad breath, give this a try. You will not regret it." —Me

Promising review: "Been using this for about a month. I run and go to the gym so there is lots of use my sneakers five to six times a week. I remove the insoles and spray those, then spray inside the sneakers. I like the scent, kind of minty, and it kills any odors immediately. It’s all natural too which I like. I’d recommend." —Lisa S
