1. A pair of incredibly soft Loop noise-reduction earplugs if you've become sensitive to any loud/distracting/annoying sounds entering your space (looking at you, engine-revving motorcyclists!). These flexible silicone earplugs will help you concentrate on the task at hand, whatever that may be.
Promising review: "I struggle with anxiety and ADHD, and I find myself frequently sensitive to sounds. Things were especially difficult with the kids at home working on school while I was trying to work from home. Not only have these been fabulous throughout the day, but holy cow, they are a lifesaver at night! My husband snores, and I have tried several pairs of earplugs, sleep masks with little speakers in them…the list goes on. These loops are extremely comfortable to sleep in. They cut the sounds of the snores to manageable and sleep-able levels without cutting off all sounds. If one of our children comes into the room, the phone rings, etc., I can still hear and remain safe. They are not noise canceling; they are noise reducing. They are so reasonably priced that I have a pair next to my bed, on my desk, and in my cars. Highly highly recommend!!!" —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in five colors).
2. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that can remove years' worth of calluses quickly and easily. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let it do its magic, and rinse!
Promising review: "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 being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
3. A pack of 100+ light-dimming sheets so your digital alarm clock doesn't keep you up with its glaring numbers. Oh the irony. These magical stickers dim 50–80% of light.
Promising review: "These are simply awesome! Such a small thing can make such a big difference. At night, when I opened my eyes, I was flooded by little dots of light intruding my space from all my electronics: the TV and cable receiver, the modem, the routers, the electric blanket control switch, the microwave, the smoke alarms, cell phones, etc. And it doesn’t take much to interfere with a good night's sleep. These will mute and soften those bright lights so they don’t bother you anymore. Thanks for a great 'little size, big results' product!" —Ziapetlady
Get it from Amazon for $4.39.
4. A set of silicone Kegel weights because doing pelvic floor exercises can help you better control your bladder and have more pleasurable sex.
Read more about kegel exercises at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program, you will have results that you can feel. I think anyone who has ever had kids should try this out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, and no more mad dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." —Lady Tauber
Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.99 (also available in a two-pack option).
5. A vegan and cruelty-free skin-tightening Sol de Janeiro body cream made with coconut and açai oil. Its caffeine-rich formula stimulates circulation to help you get smoother-looking skin.
Promising review: "I could NOT believe how quickly I saw results after starting to use this on my dear old booty. The improvement was so noticeable I've also started to use it on my thighs as well, just to see if I can tighten up any of my cellulite-y bits there, too. But my butt looks amazing!" —Sara Fauth
Get it from Amazon for $22.
6. A non-greasy CeraVe under-eye cream that contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to helps hydrate and soothe skin. If the stress of getting older has been keeping you up at night and resulting in puffiness, this may just leave you with brighter and less swollen under-eyes.
Promising review: "This has truly been a savior for my under-eye concerns. It works wonders on dark circles and puffiness, leaving my delicate eye area feeling nourished and rejuvenated. The gentle formula doesn't irritate, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall texture and appearance of my skin. A must-have in my skincare routine!" —Veronica Smith
Get it from Amazon for $11.50.
7. Or a rejuvenating vegan eye cream since it'll absorb quickly into the skin to start the process of brightening and lifting your under-eye area. Perpetual late nights got nothing on this cream!
LilyAna Naturals is a family-owned small business using natural ingredients to craft high-quality skincare products.
Promising review: "I never ever write reviews. I have tried every eye cream out there. Not one does what it says. This was immediate! I saw the softening of my wrinkles and crow's-feet. It's amazing. I will be buying this again and again." —melisa delaney
Get it from LilyAna Naturals on Amazon for $13.11+ (available in three sizes).
8. A bacteria-killing denture cleaner to remove any odors and discoloration caused by buildup. This also works on retainers, mouth guards, and Invisalign.
Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! They had a fresh taste and were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." —Lisa R.
Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $21.81.
9. A lumbar roll because your back has been screaming out for help from that rickety chair you've been sitting in. It comes with a strap, so you don't have to worry about it moving.
Promising review: "I put this around my desk chair as I work from home all day long. It takes a day or so to get used to it, and now I can't live without it (it's been a few weeks since I bought it). It helps me sit up straight and is really comfortable. You can adjust it easily, and it slips easily over any chair (my large ergonomic chair works well with this). My PT suggested this. He also takes this in his car when he drives long distances. I haven't done that yet, but I can see how easy it is to travel with. Highly recommend." —KO_ST
Get it from Amazon for $25.95+ (available in two densities).
10. A USB-powered LED light strip to light up your screen from behind so you're not squinting for your life while trying to send work emails.
Promising review: "I bought this item in an effort to improve my work-from-home efficiency. The backlighting truly does make the computer screen sharper and simultaneously easy on the eyes. It's also been great for later night gaming sessions." —Jeremey
Get it from Amazon for $9.25+ (available for monitors up to 80 inches).
11. A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence with a hydrating and hypoallergenic formula that may help reduce the appearance of dark spots and fine lines. Reviewers say it makes their skin glow!
Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. I have suffered from minor acne for almost two years, and I finally realized the products I was using were far too harsh for my dry, sensitive skin. After using gentle products and eventually moving on to K-beauty, I found this to lighten all the scarring from the years of picking at my breakouts. My scarring is still a bit noticeable, but it has gotten tremendously better thanks to this product and this product alone." —Marc
Get it from Amazon for $16.79.
12. A pack of thin and discreet incontinence pads if your bladder has a mind of its own. These super-absorbent pads will help you stay dry so you can move about your day in complete comfort.
Read more about incontinence and treatment at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I use these for nighttime. They are the best ones for me so far. Regular length, they don't scrunch up, stay put, and absorb great. Plus, they are not perfumed. I have tried many other brands, and Poise is the one for me! I also use Poise Light during the day (regular length). You can't tell you have them on like the old days when wearing a period pad." —Leeloo
Get a box from Amazon for $30.73+ (available in five styles).
13. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because you haven't properly cleaned your shower in, well, ever. 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, I 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. On day two, I 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. On 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 spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $20.32+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and in a pack of two).

Promising review: "I have suffered from migraines my entire life and I’m almost 50 years old. As soon as I put this pack on my head I instantly felt relief from the five-day barometric pressure migraine I’ve had. The soft design was really nice and I love that it covered my whole head and was easy to put on. I recommend waiting a few minutes after taking it out of the freezer because it was really cold." —T.
Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in five styles).
16. A pair of contoured Wrist Buddy yoga blocks so you can more easily hold that stretch, twist, or plank. They can also help relieve pressure on your wrist, which may result in less pain.
Promising review: "I typically have pretty bad pain in my right wrist. So, when I wanted to start yoga again, I did not want to aggravate it. These blocks have helped tremendously. I can now do poses like downward dog with no wrist pain at all!" —Cris

Get them from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five styles and larger pack sizes).
19. A washing machine cleaning gel that you just let sit in the washing machine gasket for a few hours and then wipe away. (The mold that's been growing inside your washing machine is close to gaining sentience.) So go ahead and add your washing machine to your summer cleaning to-do list.
Promising review: "Very satisfied. I tried everything to remove the black mold with no success. This product actually worked to remove the black mold. I applied the gel to the mold and left it to sit overnight. I was amazed the mold wiped off with a rag." —Robin S. Johns

21. Shower curtain rings with separate hangers for your curtain and liner that will make taking them down and switching them out so much faster and easier. This is also just a reminder that you do in fact need to change your shower liner. Today.
Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn’t know you needed, and once you get it, you can’t help but wonder how you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for multiple shower curtains. I know you’re like, ‘It’s just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." —Nardsbaby

Read more about hemorrhoids and treatment at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I was hurting horribly, so I ordered this cream; I’d never used a cream before and always used a suppository. This product was a little pricey, but at this point, I didn’t care. I wanted relief! I now work remotely from home, so this affected my job as I sat all day, and even using a donut wasn’t helping! This cream is great! It gave me fast relief and shrunk the external hemorrhoids! I will definitely purchase this again and keep it on hand always! I wish I would have found this product before this time!" —Pam
Get it from Amazon for $34.95.
23. A ergonomically designed Logitech mouse that'll help ensure hours-long comfort. If you've been experiencing wrist pain or hand cramps, you may have just found your holy grail.
You can connect via Bluetooth or with the included USB receiver. This cordless mouse is recommended for small- to medium-sized hands — if you have large hands, Logitech recommends the MX vertical mouse!
Read more about how an ergonomic mouse can help prevent carpal tunnel at Cleveland Clinic.
BuzzFeed writer Melanie Aman has been using this mouse to work from home:
"I, like many people, did not have an ergonomic work setup (or any setup for that matter) when I started working from home in 2020. After months of sitting at the kitchen bar or on the couch and using a trackpad 40 hours a week, I had a lot of pain in my wrist and forearm. Eventually, I got a proper desk, chair, and mouse, and the pain mostly went away — mostly. I would still notice a twinge sometimes while using my Magic Mouse, which I just accepted as part of life. But then — THEN! — I tried this Logitech Lift ergonomic mouse, and I have not had any pain in the almost two years I've been using it. I've also grown to really like the placement of the scroll wheel and buttons. I still use a regular mouse for gaming on my personal computer, but I am now constantly reminded of how much better this Lift mouse is for basically every other computer activity."
Promising review: "This mouse is perfect for smaller hands or people who have any kind of hand pain. I find this extremely comfortable. The buttons on the mouse are very easy to push, and they’re quiet. If you have any arthritis or discomfort in your hand, this is perfect!" —Jaye Hockenberry
Get it from Amazon for $63.49+ (available in three colors and a right-handed or left-handed style).
24. A down-alternative pillow-top mattress pad so you can feel like you're falling asleep on an actual cloud instead of the many-years-old brick of a mattress you're currently dealing with. This plush and cooling pad has deep pockets so it'll stay on your bed through your tossing and turning.
Promising review: "Whoa, this thing is amazing. I have a very expensive, firm mattress that I bought when I was younger. The mattress is still in good shape, so I didn’t want to get rid of it. The firm thing just wasn’t working for me anymore. I had a foam mat but it still was too hard. So I got this, put this over the foam mat and it’s like a new mattress. I slept like a rock last night. Haven’t slept that well in a long time. I also like that it’s attached to the mattress pad, so it’s not sliding all over. It slept very cool; I’m assuming that’s because it is cotton. Highly recommend if you’re looking to fix a mattress and not have to spend money on a new one." —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $74.91+ (available in sizes twin–California king and four colors).
25. A seriously splurge-worthy smart toilet seat and bidet because it automatically senses when someone is sitting on it, which means its functions and features only activate when needed. What are its functions and features? 1. Heated seat. 2. Adjustable nozzle and water temperature. 3. Warm air dryer. 4. Built-in night-light. 5. Deodorizer. 6. Remote-controlled.
Promising review: "I have been using it for three years, and it is going strong. I had a dedicated bidet at home before going to a nursing home, so I needed a bidet seat. The Bio Bidet seat is better than the more expensive bidet. The water heater is really good, and so is the air dryer. The remote control is really good. If you are shopping for a bidet seat, you won't be disappointed with this one. It is 5-star all the way." —dew
Get it from Amazon for $489+ (available in two shapes).
26. A Yonanas soft serve maker to turn any frozen fruit into a delicious dessert in a matter of minutes, which is especially awesome if you have any newfound dietary restrictions that prevent you from buying treats at the store. And every part of this gadget is dishwasher-safe, so cleanup will be a breeze.
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it, I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally, this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
27. A super powerful massage gun if your muscles have been screaming out in pain since leg day last week. You'll be blissed out in no time thanks to its five speeds and just as many massage heads.
Read more about what massage guns can (and can’t) do, plus how to use them, at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I have had chronic issues with pain caused by severely knotted muscles. This massager changed my life! I have tried muscle relaxers, stretching, and many other things, but a couple of muscles in my upper back would just knot up with any stress, physical or emotional, and the pain was nearly constant. I used this for about a half hour on all of my muscles with the first use, and the effects were immediate and profound. Pain relief was instant, and occasional use for a couple of minutes to the affected areas has been able to maintain that relief. I loved it so much that I bought one for my brother, who says it is helping him tremendously, as well. I have charged my massager twice in the last two months, battery life is excellent!" —Patty S.

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well-built and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung
