56 Impulse Buys Weird Enough That They Loop Back Around To Making Sense
A waterproof shower pad, hoodie with a kangaroo pouch (for your cat), self-stirring mug, and 53 other items that are so odd they actually make too much sense.
1. An un-spill-able drink tray so you can bring everyone’s drinks, along with a heaping bowl of guacamole, out to the backyard BBQ all at once. No Cirque Du Soleil balancing abilities needed!
Amazon
SpillNot is a small business owned by the product designer; Joshua Millstein.
Promising review: “This is a brilliant device! It makes carrying several cups of coffee upstairs a breeze. Never a drop, no matter how much the tray swings as I walk. Absolutely genius.” —Happy Customer
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors).
2. Cosrx’s snail mucin repairing essence reviewers love for the extra boost of hydration it gives their skin, helping clear up acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and even eczema! Stop being ~sluggish~ about investing in your skincare routine and get this on your face. Fast.
Promising review: “If you can get over the ick factor of snail mucin -it is deeply hydrating and helps with hyperpigmentation and acne. Calms inflammation and redness. If you’re having flaky, dry skin from eczema or reactions to retinol use-this helps repair your skin barrier and keep your skin supple. It is a gentle occlusive and seals in moisture. Everyone’s skin is different. What works for me may not work for you. But I swear by the essence to help my reactive skin, repair the skin barrier, and helps with my eczema. I will use it forever.” —Connie
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
3. A hoodie with a soft, fleece-lined pouch so you can keep your needy critter as close as possible. If they can’t feel your heartbeat, you’re too far away!
The seller recommends going up one or two sizes if you want a looser fit. Sizing up is also a good idea if your cat is a chonky one.
Promising review: “Sometimes I have to call in sick to my job because the cat won’t let me change out of the roo. It’s not forbidden to wear a roo to work but it might make people not take me very seriously so I only go to work on the days the cat says I can. Seriously, this is the dorkiest thing ever and I look really stupid in it but I love it for real.” —Just Me
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–XXXL and four colors).
4. A pack of “Food Cubby” dividers designed for picky eaters of all ages. These suction to your plate, preventing foods and sauces from intermingling while you eat.
Amazon

Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories.
Promising review: “I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn’t run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago.” —Superbeckee
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
5. A pickle keeper and juice strainer so you can snack until your heart’s content *without* getting pickle juice all over the place.
Promising review: “I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I’ve been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They’re just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you’ve got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too.” —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $13.90+ (available in four kit styles).
6. A bottle of drinkable glitter for convincing yourself that staying hydrated is cool. Just a spoonful of *glitter* helps the beverage go down!
I’m such a sucker for weird/fun finds online. I impulse-bought this the very first time I saw it, and, ugh, I adore it. It is such an unnecessarily silly thing *and yet* it really has made for some fun, spruced-up sips. It has no taste, lasts forever (you need very little per cup), and it’ll certainly brighten up a boring drink.
Promising review: “The glitter was excellent and made the beer shimmer just as expected. Everyone loved it and stared at it with wonder and delight. The glitter does coat the glass, making subsequent beers glittery. I recommend jiggling the keg a bit, so the glitter doesn’t settle. This is a great product. I will definitely buy again.” —Jennifer Konecky
Get it from Amazon for $4.88 (available in 23 colors).
7. A marble board wire cheese cutter so you can host a wine and cheese night with some elegant entertainment — let your guests slice their own pieces of cheese and watch them quickly become envious of your un-brie-lievably unique kitchen tool.
Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action.
Promising review: “My mother-in-law had purchased one last year, and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get-togethers with friends and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So, I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it’s mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack, but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick.” —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $18.47.
8. A bag re-sealer I’d personally buy for the looks alone (it’s basically a tiny hair straightener! CUTE!), for anyone who would love the chance to reseal their snacks and keep them feelin’ fresh.
Promising review: “Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips I open daily. This sealer worked great. Heated up in, like, 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now, I don’t have to find a clip! I’m sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it’s sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!” —Stacy0814
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors).
9. A light saber umbrella that changes colors, allowing you to decide if you’re leaning toward the light or feel forced to choose the dark side on a cloudy day. It’s silly, sure, but it’ll be a really useful way to stay visible in bad weather!
This requires three AAA batteries, not included.
Promising review: “This is the most fantastic umbrella ever! I’m very glad I bought it. It’s very durable, even in high winds. It slides open very smoothly and doesn’t catch when I’m taking it down. The carrying case is very helpful and allows you to have your hands free when not in use. It can cycle through all of the colors constantly, or it can stay on just one. It has the options of red, green, blue, purple and white. There’s also an LED flashlight on the bottom of the handle. It takes three AAA batteries and they seem to last quite a while. The lights are bright enough to see even during the daytime. I was very surprised and pleased at the quality and durability. A great buy.” —SM
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in seven colors).
10. A “Shower Cat” for 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 (available in two colors).
11. A much-needed peanut butter knife with a brilliantly shaped blade that’ll guarantee not a *drop* of your perfect peanut putty goes to waste. Hate getting peanut butter all over your knuckles when scraping out the container with a standard knife? Get this in your life.
Promising reviews: “I love this knife. You couldn’t design a better knife for peanut butter if you tried. I bought a less expensive one, but returned it because the design was poor. There’s no substitution for this quality product. Spend a couple dollars more, and get the best.” —Beck
“You can use it for many things. It is strong, and can get things out of deep blenders, like a Vitamix. You could even use it to spread icing on a cake! Best of all, it is perfect for stirring those large nut butter containers you get from the warehouse stores.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors and multipacks).
12. A “flaming” humidifier sure to be a hit with avid readers who could use a little sent in the air and a tiny “fire” to create the *perfect* cozy cottage ambience while they read.
Check out a TikTok of the flaming humidifier in action.
Promising review: “I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier.” —Benny
Get it from Amazon for $24.79+ (available in two styles).
13. A waterproof shower pad so you can write down anything you remember while washing up — the best ideas always happen in the shower. Why? Because they don’t even have a chance to ~stink.~
Promising review: “Got these for my girlfriend because she mentioned how she always has amazing ‘shower thoughts’ that she forgets once she gets out of the shower. Today she used it for a shopping list, and to leave me a cute little note at the bottom. So far they work great, resistant to water and they’ve been stuck on the wall the whole time with no sign of falling off!” —Austin C.
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
14. A dimmable LED car visor mirror might seem a little extra inside your ancient Toyota, but it’ll be great for commuters who practically live in their car. If you are totally putting your makeup on in the parking lot before work, get yourself a vanity-mirror as a visor!
Promising review: “Very large, very bright, but brightness is adjustable. You also have the choice of true white LED illumination or a softer incidence ‘yellow’/natural light or you can run both simultaneously. Very large but would fit all sun visors. No magnification (that I am aware of), but its clarity makes you think it does. Battery is chargeable, but we have not needed to recharge it yet due to its long battery run time. It’s inexpensive and needed for anyone that loves to ‘finish getting ready in the car.'” —Chris Cook
Get it from Amazon for $18.69+ (available in three colors and two-packs).
15. A pair of fondue mugs — the ultimate cozy treat for chilly nights in. Grab a blanket, some berries, and a tea candle, then curl up in your favorite corner with your own mini fondue!
Promising review: “These are super cute, heat up extremely well, and hold the perfect amount of whatever you decide to put in them. I will say, make sure you stir often; otherwise, whatever you have in them will burn! Great purchase, and will definitely use these over and over again.” —Macee Smith
Get them from Amazon for $19.99.
16. A pair of rainbow drip candles that’ll fit inside a vase, wine bottle, or candle holder, creating a custom piece of decor with cascading colors that’ll be downright dreamy.
17. A rather charming exfoliating stick for gently scrubbing your skin, drawing out excess sebum, whiteheads, and blackheads from your pores. This is specifically designed for removing the gross octo-puss from inside your pores!
Promising review: “After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here’s how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself.” —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
18. A Baseboard Buddy — a super-specific cleaning tool that, upon further consideration, just might be THE cleaning tool you need in your life. This has an extendable handle that’ll make cleaning tiny corners and often-ignored areas not just simple, but suuuper satisfying.
Promising review: “Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can’t wait to do the rest of the house!” —artgirl
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
19. An LED flat plate is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin’ beside you.
Promising review: “LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It’s not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don’t have to move it up and down while reading.” —Flora
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).
20. A shoe stretch spray because autumn is here, and this’ll keep your feet blister-free when you start breaking in those brand-new boots. But this isn’t just for boots! With this stuff your loafers, sandals, and even gloves are gonna fit like a (ahem) glove.
My colleague Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review (#46) for more deets!
Promising review: “It deserves 100 stars. I wish I found it years ago. This product is slightly life-changing, and I’m not kidding!! I can’t tell you who the years when I’ve had to abandon the shoe for a rubbing in the wrong spot or it being really close to fitting but just something not quite right. I got a really great deal on an expensive pair of sandals; they were gorgeous yet a tiny bit tight and the leather was firm. I was about to send them back, but loved them so much I thought maybe there was a product? It perfectly softened and stretched the sandals. I’ve since used for a few different pairs of shoes with fabulous results. Best purchase!!! Nothing better than comfortable shoes!!!” —Clm75
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
21. A pair of YogaToes gemstone stretchers made with hypoallergenic medical-grade gel, for folks who have hammer toe, bunions, plantar fasciitis, etc. Try tossing these in the freezer and treating your feet to a soothing, cooling treatment at the end of the day. Ahhh, I can feel the relief just thinking about that.
Promising review: “It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I’m happy and I think I may get some as gifts. They easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes.” —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $36.95.
22. A salt shooter you can get if you would love nothing more than to hunt the world’s most dangerous game: the pesky housefly. That, or use it to season your food in the most exciting way possible.
Promising review: “This salt gun is SO MUCH FUN! I hate flies so this is the perfect solution. It’s like a Nerf gun but shoots salt instead. It’s not too heavy to hold. However the pump is tough to pull back, which is perfect for an adult but difficult for kids. If you shoot yourself in the hands or arm, it stings a tiny bit but that’s it. I Highly recommend it! Happy hunting!” —Q. Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $49.95.
23. A ball cap cage sure to make washing your hats and baseball caps (while keeping their shape!) easy as ever. There’s no striking out with this system. Seriously.
This is also a really useful tool if you’re planning to pack hats on vacation!
Promising review: “This arrived on time and undamaged. It looks just like the photo and works as described. It fits well in the dishwasher and is unaffected by the heat. I have tried it on several hats already and I am very satisfied with the results. It’s simple and works well. The dirt and sweat smells are gone. I purchased it through Amazon Prime at a great price and would recommend it to anyone.” —AT-AT RIG
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four colors and in multipacks).
24. A roll of glow in-the-dark tape you can basically use any time you’d rather not trip or stub your toe in the dark. This stuff really is, ahem, a ~bright~ idea.
Promising review: “When I tested ‘supercharging’ the tape with a bright pocket flashlight just before playing, the glow was a really bright green and it was incredibly easy to read the labeling – even in total darkness. I am really impressed with this tape. It performed much better than I had hoped for. I am going to give strips to my friends so they can label their boards as well.” —Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
25. A versatile bag clip to treat your Gucci with the love and respect it deserves — it’s hard work looking that pretty!
Promising review: “I have a very heavy, large purse that is a bottomless pit. One time I put my purse on the back of my chair at a cafe and the whole chair flipped over, that is how heavy my bag is. I was looking for something so I could hook my purse on things so it wasn’t sitting on the floor and was more accessible. I love this little gadget. I have used it on everything from bathroom stalls to tables to grocery carts. This thing really grips. All of my girlfriends love it and have gotten it for themselves.” —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in nine colors).
26. A handy Souper Cubes freezer tray can make freezing notoriously hard-to-freeze things like soups and sauces ~souper~ easy. The thought of unthawing individual portions of soup has my all-too-adult heart all aflutter.
This is BPA-free and dishwasher safe!
Promising review: “LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned half-cup and one-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time, but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost.” —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors and a two-pack).
27. A set of wad-free pads for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. Get this and keep those laundry clods from wasting precious drying time!
Amazon
Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. And 5% of profits are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association.
Promising review: “Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!” —katy
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack).
28. A cervical neck “pillow” may help provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much-needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down.
After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture.
Update: I’ve been using this for *years* now – it’s become a part of my daily routine. While pregnant, I didn’t use it. I missed it every day and absolutely noticed my posture falling apart again. Now that I’m nursing and feel hunched over all the time, I love it even more.
If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use.
Promising review: “I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer, especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.” —Cindy
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors).
29. A pocket shower curtain with over 10,000 five-star reviews (that’s right, for a shower curtain!) that’ll ~clearly~ keep your shower organized.
Promising review: “I LOVE this shower curtain. If you have a shower that doesn’t have a lot of ledge room for all your stuff, this shower curtain will be your best friend. You can fit so many things inside the pockets! You can also use this as a liner and have another, more decorative, shower curtain on the outside, but I personally use it as a shower curtain. This is the best shower curtain/liner money can buy!” —DAtkins
Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in two colors).
30. A surprisingly aesthetic silicone foot scrubber — give your bathroom something to brag about with this super useful in-shower foot brush. It’s available in bold colors, and it’ll help you give those smelly toes the scrub they need without the risk of bending over and slipping in the shower.
Promising review: “I needed this foot scrubber because I have balance issues, making it difficult to properly clean my feet and toes. The first time I used this, it tickled my feet. Now, I can use it every day without being tickled…it just takes time to get used to the sensation.
The important part is how well this works. My feet and toes are clean. The design ensures that the sides of my feet are scrubbed and smooth after each use. I really like that this has suction cups and substantial weight so it doesn’t move all over the place when I’m using it. This is exactly what I needed.” —Biscuit Lady
Get it from Amazon for $38.88 (available in two colors).
31. A fence window for dogs who take their neighborhood watch shifts seriously.
This includes everything you need to secure the window and it takes about 15 minutes to set up. All you’ll need is a drill/driver, crescent wrench, and a pencil.
Promising review: “Our dogs love it! Our old fence had gaps for them to see who was I the driveway, but with the new one, no gaps. The doggie windows allow them to see who is pulling up again! Each one took about 10–15 minutes to install. We just used the black ring to trace the inner circle, cut with a jigsaw, marked the holes for the bolts and pre-drill, and used a 10-mm wrench to tighten, not too tight to crack ring or globe plastic. Now they can see us again!” —Summers
Get it on sale from Amazon for $27.88.
32. A steering wheel tray table so you can be the road trip genius with the ability to pull over and enjoy a comfortable roadside meal on something other than your lap.
This hooks to your steering wheel from the bottom so you can simply flip it down to use! When you’re done, it stores neatly in a back seat pocket.
Promising review: “As a traveling sales guy, I spend a LOT of time working in my car. Until now, I have wrestled with balancing my laptop on the console, on my lap or up against the steering wheel. I was actually looking for some sort of passenger seat desk when I came across this tray.The result? This is perfect! two seconds to set up, holds the laptop in a perfect location. WORKS GREAT!!!!” —Chris H.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in eight colors).
33. A self-stirring mug for making your home brew even more magic than Starbucks. This mixes in all your favorite flavors beautifully. Have they finally invented…the perfect mug?! I think so.
Watch this self-stirring mug in action on TikTok!
Promising review: “I’m a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn’t be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing.” —Lina
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in five colors).
34. A zipper puller that’ll zip up any outfit you would usually need help with — no more passing on darling dresses because of that dreaded back zipper!
Amazon
Promising review: “This product works for all zipper types, including those tiny little solid zippers that don’t have a hook (some other products seem to only work on zippers with a hook). It is simple in design, which means it is unlikely to break. The metal piece is well-built and easy to use. This is small enough to pack in even a small purse. I’m wanting one for my suitcase (so I don’t accidentally forget it) as well as at home.” —Stacy
Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in three colors).
35. A bagel guillotine which, despite its delightfully dreadful name, is just about the safest way you could ever slice a bagel. Grab this to help your kids make breakfast without the fear of losing a digit.
Promising review: “I picked this up because my heart could no longer take the stress of watching our 11-year-old slice bagels (while multitasking with screens and whatnot) with a serrated bread knife. I was going to have a heart attack and she was going to slice into her hand so…I had high hopes and, regardless of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, some concerns about how well this would work. My concerns were unwarranted. This not-so-little little device slices through every single bagel, every single time (and my kid goes through kicks where she’ll eat two or three each day). I no longer worry about serious cuts even though the (covered) blade on this thing is SHARP! Only word of advice, like other reviewers, slice (press down) slowly so as not to squash softer bagels. Additionally, this thing slices so cleanly that there are no crumbs to speak of. I’m quite happy with this purchase. This thing now has a permanent place next to the toaster on our counter. I highly recommend it.” —Christopher RS
Get it from Amazon for $25.04+ (available in three colors).
36. A pack of six bottle-emptying valves that may make your cupboards look topsy turvy, but they’ll help you get every last smackerel of honey (and shampoo, molasses, lotion, caramel… any sticky substance you don’t want to waste).
Promising review: “I absolutely love these. I haven’t found anything yet that they don’t work with. Right now I have them on my lotion, shampoo, and conditioner bottles. I have always tipped my bottles over but they fall over and these help with that. I highly recommend these if you like to get the last drop out of your bottles.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).
37. A food smoker to infuse any food (or alcoholic beverage, for that matter) with a smokey flavor — no fire-starting skills required.
This product includes applewood and hickory seasonings.
Promising Review: “This works great, especially if you’re trying to get that grilled flavor in an apartment. Now I have a hickory smoked kitchen. Keeps everything well concentrated. I managed to give smoke flavor to four steaks in two batches without setting off any fire alarms, so it’s a win in my book.” —Jennifer Phillips
Get it from Amazon for $99.95.
38. A diaper wipe warmer — these warm wipes feel soothing on your baby’s skin, instead of cold wipes which might wake them up in the dead of the night…when you’re already dead tired.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have one in the nursery and in the living room! This is the best warmer for your money. It keeps my baby’s bottom happy. He used to, and still will scream, at cold wipes. He hates cold wipes, so this is a mini miracle for us! It keeps the wipes wet and lukewarm! We keep them plugged always. The baby is two months old and they have been plugged in since, not a single problem! I recommend this.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $30.75.
39. A soothing behavioral aid toy with a faux heartbeat that’ll be your puppy’s ~dream~ toy and help *you* finally get to sleep while crate training.
Amazon
Promising review: “My partner and I recently got a 4-month-old Italian greyhound puppy and this has been great. We slept with the stuffed animal a few nights before picking up our puppy and placed it in his crate before he arrived. After playing with us and exploring his new home he walked into his crate and curled up against it and went right to sleep. He slept right through the first night with no issue. Today is week two and the batteries are still going strong. I plan on buying one for my sister who will be getting a puppy in the next few months. This is cute and functional.” —Jeb
Get it from Amazon for $35.95+ (available in five colors).
40. A rolling egg dispenser sure to become the practical purchase you didn’t know you needed. This saves a surprising amount of space in your fridge *and* makes snatching an egg a cinch thanks to, weirdly enough, gravity.
Check out a TikTok of the egg storage roller in action.
YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
Promising review: “Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don’t need them. It’s super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large size eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases.” —Karingan
Get it from Amazon for $16.19 (available in two styles).
41. A magnetic work band that’ll help you get a ~grip~ and not lose your mind over grabbing scattered screws and bolts.
Promising review: “I love this thing. I have been using it for about six years and it’s still going strong. The convenience of being able to grab a chunk of the hardware you are working with and take it to the table, bench, bathroom, kitchen, etc. is great. It’s a huge time saver. It is especially great for prefabricated furniture and pieces.” —Conrad Morris
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).
42. A “Door-Doc” so you can prop open front load washers and prevent mold and mildew without taking the time to actually switch the laundry…yet.
Check out a TikTok of the Door-Doc in action.
Door-Doc is a small business specializing in home laundry solutions.
Promising review: “I’d never had any issues with mold or any nastiness accruing inside my washer, until I did. I read a bunch of reviews and convinced myself I didn’t need such an item — after all, I could just prop the door open after every wash. The thing is, the way the washer is positioned in the laundry room, I’d hit the washer door every time I went in there. I gave in and made the purchase. Sooooo worth it! Easy to maneuver around and it’s a sturdy little gadget. Highly recommend!!!” —painter Jane

43. A hair tie bracelet to save your wrists from tight ties — they also look surprisingly chic so, win win.
Promising review: “I debated for a while on getting these but I couldn’t be happier. I have had zero issues getting the hair tie to stay on and they look great. The bracelets were definitely too large for my wrists but that was an easy fix by just bending them in a bit. I would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone. Even if you don’t want to use them to hold hair ties they still look great!! (I got the trio pack and couldn’t be happier.)” —Suzanne Atkins

44. A Shark Tank favorite toilet paper spray that’ll transform standard toilet paper into septic-safe flushable wipes. This eco-friendly option is gonna be a great way to limit the disposable wipe/packaging waste in your home, while making sure your family stays feeling fresh.
Promising review: “As a long-time customer (and a proud owner of certain gastrointestinal issues) I can say that this toilet paper spray makes wet wipes obsolete. The scents are all great, though my personal favorites are the Rustic and the Coconut Amber. All it takes is 4–6 sprays onto the toilet paper to get the benefit of the product.
Their dedication to the environment is apparent, and I too am proud of the amount of plastic packaging and nondegradable wipes I’ve kept out of the sewer and plumbing systems. I kept all previous travel-sized bottles and simply purchase their refill bottles for reuse.” —Riggatony
Get it from Amazon for $8.95+ (available in three sizes and six scents).

Promising review: “Super easy to install. It’s adjustable for kids/adults of different heights. Will be buying another for our other vehicle! A dream for car naps!” —Katie A. Cheesbrough
Get it from Amazon for $22.90.
46. A set of stackable stick-shaped ice molds that’ll be a hit with anyone who refuses to drink out of anything other than their beloved water bottle. Thanks to these molds, you can actually fit ice cubes inside! Hydration here we come!
Promising review: “I got these to make ice cubes that I could fit into hot water bottles to make ‘cold water bottles.’ I’m in the big heat wave and it’s been over 100 every day for the last week, with no sign of it letting up any time soon. These are quick and easy and the cold water bottles have been the only thing helping me sleep in a room anywhere between 80–90 degrees at night. I love the lids! It makes my ice trays easy to stack and more secure. I wish all ice trays came with lids like this!” —AJ Stark

47. A two-sided travel cup to encourage us coffee drinkers to *also* keep something hydrating nearby. If there isn’t water literally beside the coffee in my cup…then I’m not drinking it.

Promising review: “You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!” —Megan Huffman

49. A portable water dispenser (a true unnecessary necessity) you can attach to a water jug and get freshly poured water from the comfort of your bedside table, office desk, back porch, you name it!

Promising review: “I love the convenience of having water in my room at all times during the day and night. The unit is quiet and I love that you can specify the desire water level in your cup. Honestly, this is by far my best Amazon order. I absolutely love it!!!” —Ricki
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four colors).
50. A bug bite suction tool to remove bits of insect saliva and other irritants after a bug bite, to keep yourself from scratching your skin off after a mosquito finds its way into your campsite.
51. A pair of LED collars you can toss on your dog, giving you some peace of mind while walking around at night. This thing is especially useful if you play fetch with your dog when it’s dark or if they love running around your large yard at night.
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

52. A foot hammock here to help you ~hang in~ there, even when a flight (or train ride or bus ride) feels like it’s taking forever.
Get ready to have a real ~leg up~ when it comes to traveling in comfort.
Promising review: “It was incredibly helpful during my flight. I used to hate flying because of leg pain, but not anymore. It’s a must-have, 100%. The most ingenious part is the firm base.” —Denis

53. An inflatable wedge pillow that’ll look totally bonkers, but it’ll create the perfect little nook for you to hide out and sleep soundly, even when you’re stuck in the middle seat.
A few years ago, I bought one of these while still on vacation. I was flying home for a visit and sat next to a woman who whipped one of these out and then chatted with my pillow-lacking self about how fantastic this wedge is. She was so convincing (and SO asleep once she started using it) that I bought one while I was still with my family so that I could use it on my way home. I will never, ever fly without it again. It’s comfortable, stays cool, and helps me feel like I have my own space on every flight.

54. A stick of NerdWax to keep your glasses on your face no matter how much you move. Well, my four-eyed face is gonna love this stuff.
Amazon
Promising review: “These help to keep my glasses from slipping, even in 90°+. It’s such a bother when I’m working & looking down & my glasses keep slipping. No more. Just make sure you use enough. Easy to use, no odor. This is my second order, as the 4 pack allowed me to give some to friends.” —Neon
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
55. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) so you can be sure there’s soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms.
Promising review: “I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it’s so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend.” —woolymammoth
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in ten pack styles/sizes).
56. A tongue scraper, because cleaning your tongue is an important part of oral hygiene — use this to take off all that bacteri-yuck.
Promising review: “Unfortunately I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it’s the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I went crazy trying to brush my tongue. Of course we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner and it had to be a stainless steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn’t have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!” —jordanb
