Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in two colors).
3. A pair of toast tongs to make sure you don’t burn even a little rabbit of your fingies when your toast pops up from the toaster — no matter how impatient you are when it’s breakfast time.

Amazon

5. A lightweight quilted laptop sleeve made with a waterproof nylon exterior and lined with fleece for easily traveling with your laptop — scratch-free.

It can be slightly tricky to open, I just slide one finger in and then expand my hand to open it but it has a magnetic-like closure. Love the color too, it’s simple.” —mandella cesena
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
6. A “Shower Cat” that’ll be a hit with folks who spend half their time in the shower making hair art on the walls, which inevitably ends up clogging the drain. TMI? This makes catching your hair *much* easier and gives it a proper place while you finish sudsing up.
Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.
Promising review: “I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall.” —Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

Promising review: “I was at a restaurant and they put one of these roses in my cocktail. I knew right then I had to make these at home and ordered these while at the restaurant. These are easy to fill and have rubber snaps that lock them tight. They come right out and you can even take just one out and leave the others for the next time. These are a hit at all of my dinner parties too! I have already ordered more as my friends all want these in their drinks!” —Siri US

Promising review: “I live rural and we have occasional coyotes and some pretty big owls. Bella is not a big dog and I have to see her when she’s out in my fenced yard. It’s a big yard and I can see her very well with this. I only put it on her at night, sometimes she won’t even go out without it on. You can cut it so it slips over a dog’s head and it’s very convenient. They charge fast and they last a long time. I recommend them. I find that the green is the brightest.” —Nancy636

Promising review: “My child has been asking for a cloudscape on her wall/celling for some time now and after I saw this product in the reviews I took a risk and bought two of them. I was shocked at how many accessories for hanging these up and securing the cords to the ceiling and wall came with the product. And the options for different type of hanging and adhesion were plentiful. I was able to hang the clouds up in probably a total of 10 minutes. After fluffing the clouds a bit and letting my daughter pick the exact right spot we were so happy with the result! The brightness, color options, pattern options, etc were endless. My daughter enjoys having the app on her phone because it makes it fun to create the mood she is looking for, depending one the occasion (she also likes to mess with me by making them blink or change when she’s not in the room and I am in there picking up laundry or what have you). She also enjoys having the timer feature so that she can go to sleep with it on. Overall, I’m very impressed and highly recommend this product!” —JHay

Merriton is a woman-owned small biz that specializes in scented liners for dressers and linen closets.
Oh! And be sure to lay it flat after unrolling and put something heavy on it before putting it in your drawer so the edges don’t start to currl up when you install it.
Promising review: “This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it’s beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it. I very much prefer non-adhesive paper like this because it is easy to install and replace, but also because it is old-school elegance.” —Trillium
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three patterns).

Check out the TikTok about this paste for information.
To use this spiffy stuff, just locate a node and peel away the bract to reveal the bud. Apply a small amount of the paste and in two to eight weeks, a clone will grow out of the node! Science is so satisfying.
Promising review: “This product is just AMAZING!!! I waited a few months before writing this review because I wanted to test the product first. I am just AMAZED! I have to say…depending on the season and the place on the spike where you apply it, you either get a keiki or new flower spike (which is awesome!). Based on my experiments, the lower on the spike, the more chances to get a keiki. The higher on the spike, the more chances to get a new flower spike. If you apply it during winter (tropical area winter), you will more likely get flower spikes. If you apply it during summer (tropical areas), you will more likely get a keiki — at least that’s what I observed!” —Anne-Isabelle Bonifassi
Get it from Amazon for $18.97.
16. A JetKids ride-on carry-on suitcase you may feel all braggy about when you see other parents at the airport with exhausted kids who are sick of traveling before they even board. This wheeled suitcase is specifically designed so your toddler can safely sit *while* wheeling them around the airport. That’s not all! Once you’re in your seats, this transforms into a leg rest or in-flight bed to give your kids some extra space. Long-haul flights are about to get a smidge more manageable.
It’s recommended for kids ages 3–7 and fits most standard economy seats. Plus, it has an adjustable strap so you can carry it over your shoulder, a top handle, and a mattress inside that can be removed and used while in the flight. Parents have even used this product while in the airport waiting for the flight to keep their kids comfy and happy.
Promising review: “Traveling with a toddler is always a challenge but comfort is key and this little magic package makes the airport trip that much smoother.

Promising review: “Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn’t expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn’t sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don’t remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It’s also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn’t see near these results from).” —Phil Textor

29. And MORE light-filled fun with a prismatic window film so you can enjoy the sunshine without neighbors seeing through your first-floor windows. Not only does this let natural light in, but this particular design projects rainbows into your home when the sun hits it just right!
Promising review: “I can’t tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor’s patio so I don’t have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat.” —J. B.

Promising review: “This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 🙁 and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we’re amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it’s fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don’t let this stop you from getting it though, it was worth every penny!” —JW

Fortunately, all it takes to make your kids think your minivan is as cool as Lightning McQueen is a couple of googly eyes. Sigh, I wish it were that easy for me.
Promising review: “This saved me in the Texas summer. The traditional ‘accordion cover’ always took too long to set up and fold back, it was also baggy on my car. But this umbrella-like design works great. It takes two seconds to put up or take down, fits perfectly against my windshield, and definitely makes a difference in the temperature of my car.

Promising review: “Is it possible…a toaster can be…this sexy? Yes. Absolutely yes. This sexy toaster fit right in my farmhouse-style kitchen with its cool mint-green color and retro vibes. Pros: four slots, and they are the wide-and-long type, meaning those fancier breads fit without squishing the sides of your slice. It has a bagel setting, as well as a nifty reheat button so your toast doesn’t get burnt or overly crispy if you aren’t hovering over it and miss it pop up and have to retoast it. It is fairly easy to clean, just dump the tray, so no worries about crumbs or bits of bread burning in the bottom and ruining the perfect taste of your slice. The knobs have a neat texture and are adjustable so you can time it just right for Pop Tarts, toast, or toasted sandwich bread. Cons: My husband is a little jealous of how much I love this toaster, and has been asking me if it is better than him. What could I say? I mean it makes TOAST, all he makes is methane gas so… Maybe consider ordering a couples therapy workbook to go with this toaster when purchasing.” —Alice R.
