1. A set of airtight food storage containers with reusable chalkboard labels, because they'll keep your cabinets or pantry so organized that Marie Kondo would jump for joy if she snuck a peak.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these containers from Chef’s Path!! Have been searching for a good set for quite some time and am happy I stumbled upon these. I feel these containers are of a higher quality than others and the price is much more affordable. I really like the fact that the lid handles are made up of durable plastic. The assortment of sizes is a plus, they’re easy to stack one on another and are rather durable. The locking mechanism works well to seal but not difficult like others I’ve tried to open. The pen, chalkboard labels, and measuring spoon set are a great addition to the set. Everything you might need for pantry organization has been provided." —Manzi

2. A storage strip so you can avoid an avalanche of cleaning supplies from tumbling out of your closet every time you reach in to grab a broom. This organizer mounts on your wall and keeps your cleaning tools put, no more sliding.
Promising review: "Repeat customer! I purchased one to organize the garden tools (rake, hoe, cultivator, shovel, etc.) in our garage and by alternating the tops of the tools up/down, was able to fit them neatly in the holder. Liked it so much, going to install another next to it for the other items. The hooks are a nice feature to hold our gloves and a simple plastic bag to hold things when needed." —Rob C.
Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in four colors and a two-pack).
3. A food container lid organizer if you're afraid to open your cabinet because there's a chance a mountain of lids will topple onto you. This will make it easier to find the right size lid with out having to rummage through a messy pile.
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn
Get it from Amazon for $17.80+ (available in four sizes, an extendable version, and a two-pack).
4. A pre-designed habit tracker calendar to help you keep track of your ever-growing to-do list and goals. Now that you're an adult, you're in charge of remembering appointments, keeping track of groceries, errands, and chores — total scam if you ask me.
Free Period Press is a woman-owned, queer-owned small business that creates paper tools to help with productivity.
Promising review: "I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I've always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I'd been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some 'homework' pages at the beginning to help you focus in on your goals, but mostly its the cleanness and ready-to-go nature of the monthly calendar pages that have worked for me. It's helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus so I'm not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend. Another friend saw me using it and also made a purchase. I'm really happy I made the leap." —Flight of Stars
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
5. A pack of cleaning tablets so when you put your dirty dishes in your dishwasher, they'll ~actually~ come out clean. These tabs will get rid of mineral buildup and limescale so your fave appliance will perform at its best. If you didn't know you'd have to clean an appliance that does the cleaning for you — welcome to adulthood.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
6. A three-pronged duster to easily clean between your blinds because, trust me, there's a ton of dust in there. One thing about becoming an adult is coming to terms with how much there is to clean! This tool will make the annoying task of dusting blinds super easy and way faster.
The duster comes with five microfiber sleeves so you can take care of all your windows at once before giving the sleeves a good wash.
Promising review: "A super time saver. It legitimately used to take us hours to clean all the blinds. We can now do all the faux-wood Venetian blinds in the house in about one hour. It's really nice that it comes with some spare cloths for it, and it's cheap enough to buy a whole additional set so we can make more than one kid do this chore at the same time." —R.D.
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors).
7. A splurge-worthy Roborock robotic vacuum, because you'll have a long list of things to do, and it's mostly cleaning related. So, whenever you can take a chore off of your plate, you should. This vac will clean your entire home with just a push of a button and it empties itself!
Here's what former BuzzFeed Shopping editor, Daniel Boan, had to say about this:
"I've always wanted a robotic vacuum, and after getting a chance to try the Roborock Q5+, I can't believe I waited so long. I absolutely hate vacuuming, so the ability to have a magical little robot clean my entire apartment at the touch of a button is an absolute life-saver. The accompanying app is very easy to use — I typically use it to set up custom cleaning schedules — and the smart mapping feature was extremely accurate on the very first try. There are definitely cheaper options on the market, but what makes this worth the extra splurge is the self-emptying feature. Once the robo-vacuum is done cleaning, it finds its way back to the charging base and empties itself into a dust bag that lasts for up to seven weeks. My apartment has never been cleaner!"
Get it from Amazon for $429.99+ (available in two versions).
8. A pan and pot organizer, so you can stack your cookware in your cabinet and avoid a dangerous game of Jenga every time you reach for one. Not only will this keep everything organized, it'll also make it easier for you to find what you're looking for.
You can use it upright or on its side.
Promising review: "I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good." —Linda
Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (available in three colors).
9. And an adjustable rack that'll neatly store your sheet pans, baking trays, and cutting boards.
Promising review: "Loved it so much I bought a second one immediately! Works great for circular pans, 9x13 cake pans, heavier pans, jelly roll pans, awkward collapsible colanders, cutting boards, whatever you want. Having nonskid feet is a big plus." —Organization Freak/Hobby Cook
Get it on Amazon for $19.99.
10. An extendable baseboard duster, because you've probably neglected cleaning your walls and baseboards, but you really shouldn't. You'll be shocked at how much dust is trapped on surfaces around your home that you never even thought of cleaning. Plus, this will make it easier to clean hard-to-reach areas — no need to bend or climb because it extends.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry.
Promising review: "For many, this may seem like a waste of money. Not for me. I am over 65 and have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. As a result, my baseboards did not get dusted as frequently as the rest of the house. This made it so much easier for me." —retired
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
11. A space-saving cutlery organizer to keep your utensils organized and to give your household members a subtle hint to put things where they belong. Plus, this frees up room for bulky items like your whisk or spatula.
12. A splash catcher that'll soak up any water near your faucet to prevent puddles from accumulating around your sink. It'll save a ton of paper towels and time since you will have to wipe up water wayyy less often.
Hustle Sew Shop is a small Etsy shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina
Get it from Hustle Sew Shop on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
13. A sleek carry-on suitcase — it's made of a dent- and impact-resistant material, so it's sturdy enough keep up with all your travel needs. It also has super quiet wheels, a convenient front compartment, and TSA-approved locks.
Here's why Daniel loves this:
"I recently took this on a two-week trip to Italy and I cannot rave about this enough. It's sleek and slim, yet surprisingly spacious — seriously, I was able to fit SO many extra clothes thanks to the built-in compression pad. The front compartment was the perfect place to store my laptop, passport, AirPods, and other essentials I wanted easy access to. If you're looking to upgrade your old carry-on to something lightweight, sturdy, and spacious — this is it!"
Get it from Monos for $255+ (available in 13 colors and six sizes).
14. And a set of packing cubes to help you fit wayyy more in your suitcase than you ever could have imagined. Plus, these will keep everything organized so you can find your bathing suit as soon as you check-in — because a drink by the pool is just a whole vibe and why should you wait?
Each set comes with a small, medium, large, and extra-large cube, a shoe bag, and a laundry bag.
Promising review: "I have been on the fence about buying packing cubes for two years! I wasn’t sure if they would really make a difference in my packing or not. However, I am so glad I decided to get some! I have looked at many brands but I am happy I decided on this one! These are made from a great material and are super cute! This is one of the few brands that include both a shoe bag and a dirty linen bag! ... I was actually able to close my luggage with ease for the first time. These keep your clothes clean and organized. It makes packing and unpacking a breeze." —Cindy U.
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 13 colors).
15. Plus, a leather electronics organizer so you can prevent all your chargers and wires from getting lost or tangled. Everything will be neatly stored so you can find exactly what you need without having to rummage through your bag.
Mr. Crafter is a small biz that specializes in personalized leather travel and tech accessories.
Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful! The custom lettering came out perfectly and it can easily hold two battery packs and all the cords we could ever need for traveling with cellphones, iPads and our Switch. So pleased with the craftsmanship! Wonderful purchase. <3" —Sarah Kavaljian
Get it from Mr. Crafter on Etsy for $39.80+ (originally $56.86+; available in two sizes, in black or brown, and several engraving options).
16. A sleek pill case with 10 compartments so you can easily carry your medications anywhere without a ton of bulky bottles. This is to tiny, it can even fit in your pocket.
Promising review: "Love love love these!!! I have a lot of medications that I have to travel with and some of them are very expensive or very important and I get so worried I will lose some. These hold so many pills and have labels for each and they are so easy to open and fill but they also stay closed and seal well!" —Britney
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.99.
17. A Crosley record player, because it's aesthetically pleasing and will make any space look elevated. Plus, when you have guests over, you can spin some records and create a very ~cool adult~ vibe.
Here's what Daniel has to say about this:
"I've become a bit obsessed with vinyl in the last year and used to own one of those very cheap but oh-so-cute suitcase-style record players that everyone else has. While it got the job done, I noticed a lot of my vinyls sounded distorted and shaky (If I'm listening to a masterpiece like Beyoncé's Renaissance I need it to sound immaculate! Listening to "Pure/Honey" in anything less than crystal clear quality is unacceptable!), so I was excited to upgrade to something a bit nicer. Using the Crosley C100 has made me realize why people love vinyl — all my records sound super crisp and I'm noticing little details in songs that I've never noticed before. Just note that this doesn't have a built-in speaker, though it does have Bluetooth capabilities! If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go listen to a classic rock album — like Lindsay Lohan's A Little More Personal (Raw)."
Get it from Amazon for $229.95+ (available in belt-drive and direct-drive as well as four styles).
18. A cord-managing box so you can hide the tangled mess under your desk. Reviewers say it's also great at keeping cords away from pets.
Promising review: "This is the third box I have ordered and I am still happy with this product. It keeps the cats from turning off my power strip when they zoom behind the couch. The first two I ordered were all white, which was fine for where I placed them. With this purchase I went with the wood grain top which blends in more easily with the surrounding area. I would, obviously, purchase this item again." —Susan Beattie
Get two from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
19. A bamboo toilet topper tray to wrangle some of the clutter in your bathroom. This is perfect to store extra toilet paper, candles, or any knickknacks you'd like to display.
Promising review: "This is a great tray for the back of a standard toilet! I used mine as a decorative piece, but I plan to order a second for my master bathroom to hold Q-tips, an extra roll of toilet paper, etc. I love the way it looks!" —A. Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $19.07 (available in two styles).
20. A felt handbag organizer insert that will keep your bag organized so you don't feel like you have to dive into your bag just to find your chapstick. This has a ton of pockets that make it easier to find what you need ASAP.
Promising review: "My summer handbag has no dividers, so everything falls into a lump together. I was so pleased to find the smaller slender option for this organizer. It slides down into my purse with room on the sides to spare - this is exactly what I wanted since it lets me put things into the organizer and then other things outside of it on either side. I ordered the gray color and am very satisfied with the construction and fabric used." —Jay
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors).
21. A genius cord organizer with an adhesive sticker so you can pop it on any appliance to wrap the cord around it. This will put an end to tangled wires and it also makes it easier to store items with cords.
3D Home Solutions is a small Etsy shop based in Frisco, Texas.
Promising reviews: "This little thing works so well at containing the cord. It makes my mixer all neat and tidy. I love this!" —Isabelleosborne21
Get it from 3D Home Solutions on Etsy for $8 (available in three colors).
22. A handheld garment steamer, because those carefree days when you could just throw on a crumpled up T-shirt have come to an end. Don't worry, you won't have to whip out an ironing board. This genius device takes only 30 seconds to heat up and you can just smooth away wrinkles while your shirt is on a hanger.
Promising review: "I'm a TV wardrobe stylist, and I do a lot of steaming. This is hands down the best steamer I've ever used. It doesn't spit water out, warms up very quickly, and will steam several garments before it needs a refill. I love that it has a button and a lock to keep it on (my last one just turned on... no button to pause the steam). The brush attachment is awesome, and pulls the fabric as you steam, which pulls the wrinkles out more quickly." —Monkaloo
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in three colors).
23. A Power Dash carpet cleaner for messes your pet leaves behind. You know when you parents warned you that a dog would be a lot of work? Well, now that you have to do everything for your fur baby, you know they were right all along (talking to myself here). This cleaner has a powerful brush that'll make spots disappear and it uses "HeatForce" technology to quickly dry your carpet.
Promising review: "I freaking love this thing. It's small but extremely powerful! The soap that comes with it is excellent! When I ran out I bought a gallon of it! The amount of cat hair this thing sucks up is wild! I'm six months pregnant and have absolutely no trouble with this thing. It snaps together easy to fill and change water. I wish I could give it 10 stars." —Bee Fowler
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three styles and various bundles).
24. A Bartesian cocktail maker that is basically like a Keurig for mixed drinks. If paying $20 for a half-decent margarita seems less appealing now that you're older (same), yet you don't really know how to make a cocktail, this will make it so much easier.
Here's what Daniel has to say about this:
"I used to work as a bartender, so anytime I'm with my friends I end up becoming the designated drink-pourer by default. The problem? I was ridiculously bad at it then and I'm ridiculously bad at it now. If a drink requires more than two ingredients, I probably can't make it 🙃.
Thankfully I had a chance to try out a Bartesian, and it'll now handle all bartending duties for me! It's super easy to use: just fill each glass container with your liquor of choice, insert a cocktail capsule, choose your desired strength, then sit back as it pours you a perfectly crafted drink. I had family over recently and the Rum Breeze and Cosmopolitan were huge hits. If you entertain often, you'll want this on your bar cart ASAP."
Get it from Amazon for $292.18.
25. A set of spice-gripper clips so you can utilize every inch of your cabinet, especially if you're low on space. These attach to the inside of your cabinet door to free up room on your shelves.
BTW: Depending on the set you choose, these can hold 20–30 jars.
Promising review: "OMG, I love these things! Such a simple idea; how did I ever live without them? ... They hold all different circumferences of spice bottles. If some spices are too big to place all in the same connected row, you can cut off a tab and separate them. It doesn’t really affect the items on the shelves; you just have to push them back a little (maybe half an inch or so), so the spices have clearance when the door is shut." —Bridget D.
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.97 (available in two colors or a set of six).
26. A set of cooling "hotel" pillows designed to always keep their shape and stay fluffy — no more flat pillows! Plus, they're filled with a soft down alternative that makes them breathable so you won't feel overheated.
Bonus: these are fully machine washable!
Promising review: "After looking for pillows everywhere in stores and not being satisfied, I decided to trust a TikTok that I saw featuring these pillows and checked out the reviews here and saw the hype. Decided to trust this hype and order two of my own, and they are SERIOUSLY THE BEST PILLOWS EVER! Trust the reviews. Took two minutes to fluff up to use and both my fiancé and I are having the best sleeps now." —Ellen
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $60.91+ (available in two sizes).
27. A Little Green upholstery cleaner to give your furniture a good cleaning. This will make it easy to take care of those hard-to-clean items in your home like your fave chair or couch. It can also be used to clean your car's interior.
Promising review: "I am so impressed, I bought new couches and my dog went and rolled in the dirt and then rooted around in my brand new couches!! I was furious and devastated in one breath. I figured there had to be something I didn’t want to live like my grandma with plastic covers on the couch. The little green machine got all the dirt out while being gentle with my fabric. I envision myself using this every other week for routine have a large dog and a house full of teenagers maintenance. Who knows maybe with the little green machine I can have nice things and I won’t need to kick my children out in order to do so!" —Kerry Andrews
Get it from Amazon for $123.59 (also available in various bundles with different cleaners).
28. A reusable and machine-washable duster, because it fits onto the Swiffer duster handle and will save you money on disposable refills. These will pick up all the dust accumulating around your home that you've ignored for way too long — don't worry, I won't tell.
TS Designs US is a small biz based in West Leroy, Michigan that sells sustainable products like reusable cloth towels, shopping bags, mop pads.
Promising review: "LOVE the washable duster attachments. These are SO soft and such great quality. The stitching is strong and I don’t worry about anything coming apart. We use ours with our swifter duster wand and it fits perfectly. If you’re looking for a more sustainable item, this is one for you." —Cassie Couch
Get it from TS Designs US on Etsy for $4.49+ (originally $4.99+; available in 10 colors and various packs).
29. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser that's the best thing since sliced bread because it'll keep your loaves fresher for longer than if you kept it in the bag alone. This airtight container also lets you use the bread bag to dispense slices one by one. So, when you're ready to make yourself an adult Lunchable, (or pack lunches for your household) you'll never have to deal with stale bread again.
Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig
Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in two lid colors).
30. A pet hair remover if your parents didn't allow you to have a pet when you were a kid because they said it would be too much work and now you have a fur-baby and it's...a lot of work (guilty!). If your cat or dog leaves a trail of fur behind on everything from the couch to your bed, all you have to do is roll this back and forth and it'll grab every piece of hair off of your furniture. The best part? Unlike a lint brush, this is reusable!
Promising review: "I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand-new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open, empty it out. Done." —Ian K.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
31. An electric fabric shaver so you can quickly get rid of lint, pilling, and fuzz that seems to magically appear on your fave sweater. This can also be used on your couch! And it has a detachable lint catcher for easy disposal.
Promising review: "I had low expectations for this, but it's AMAZING! I have a couple of pairs of Lululemon leggings that had some pretty bad piling. Instead of getting rid of them, I figured it was worth a shot to fix them. This little device is seriously awesome. I am shocked at how well it took off the little fuzzballs that I thought was impossible. They now look in like-new condition. Where has this been all my life?! Get it!" —SRoss
Get it from Amazon for $12.66+ (available in six colors and a battery-operated or chargeable version).
32. A brush and squeegee combo you just swipe across counters to gather messes and dump them directly into the sink or garbage. Plus, it has a built-in ledge so you can hang it when you're not using it.
Promising review: "LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" —Prime Time Review
Get it from Amazon for $20.06.
33. A two-pack of reusable mop pads, because you don't have to waste your money on pricey disposable ones. Plus, reviewers say they stay put wayyy better than regular Swiffer pads.
They're compatible with both the original Swiffer and the Swiffer Wet Jet!
Promising review: "The Velcro closure alone is worth the purchase. It was really easy to put on (no more pinched fingers) and the hold is very strong. No more having to handle the dirty, drippy sheets to try to reattach them in the middle of cleaning the floor. I noticed that my floors are cleaner because the microfiber absorbs more and doesn't just push the grime around the floor. Also, these can be washed in the washing machine for the next use." —Rosemary P.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $17.75.
34. A granite and stone cleaner that'll make your countertops look brand-spanking-new and shiny. Plus, this will also kill 99.9% of germs and bacteria.
35. A set of bedsheet fasteners, because there's no one else there to make your bed now that you're a full-fledged adult. This puts an end to the frustration of having to deal with sheets that slip and slide off of your mattress. So, when you actually decide to make up your bed, your bedding will stay put.
Promising review: "I love these! Since I started using them my sheets haven’t popped off once and that used to be a several-times-a-night problem because I toss and turn when I sleep. Thank you TikTok!" —Gabby
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and also in packs of eight).
