Just 50 Mundane Products That Are Totally Worth Celebrating

1. A dual-layered fine-bristled toothbrush if you’re tired of being reprimanded by your dentist for subpar flossing. This brush’s extra-fine bristles are ideal for clearing out tough-to-reach crevices and deep grooves while being extra gentle on sensitive gums and teeth.

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with “great” dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.

Promising review: “This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard; those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning.” —AN

2. An air-dry leave-in cream so you can get touchable, crunch-free curls, and enjoy less frizz without getting the blow-dryer or other heat styling tools involved. 

This cream helps define your natural texture and works best on those with wavy, curly, or coily hair!! 

Promising review: “I’m so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while, my waves resemble curls, but the frizz is always there. I’ve only used this product once so far, and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel-drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn’t instant, so I was skeptical, but after about 15 minutes, I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror, and I was amazed. It looked styled rather than a ratty mess. I slept on it, and it still looked great in the morning!!!” —mich0610

3. Or Lottabody’s super fluffy mousse for a lightweight, set-and-forget option that’ll help leave your air-dried curls looking less frizzy and more defined. 

Promising review: “I have permed hair with 3b curls, and this is the best mousse I have found! It does not leave my hair sticky or stiff, it’s very moisturizing, and the foam is a great consistency. The scent is light and pleasant, and this is my new go-to for both freshly washed hair or the day after re-boost. So glad I found this!” —Tonii

Get it from Amazon for $3.98 (also available in a pack of two).

4. A pack of biodegradable foaming drain-cleaning pouches to effortlessly take care of all the out-of-sight grime clogging (and stinking) up your garbage disposal.

Promising review: “My disposal developed a bad odor, and all the usual remedies failed to eliminate it. I bought the Glisten disposal cleaner without expecting it to work. It worked exactly as shown in the video, and the bad odor disappeared after one application. I intend to use it once every two weeks in the future. I am very pleased to have found this product. I was on the verge of replacing the disposal, which was otherwise working fine.” —Errol Levine

5. Lumify eye drops because reviewers swear this OTC formula relieves dryness and reduces redness in just one minute while fending it off for the next eight hours. Sure, you’d likely pay more for such quick results, but we’re more than happy not to! 

Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 

Promising review: “Not gonna lie, I saw this product on TikTok and thought I’d give it a try. Truly the best eyedrops I’ve ever bought. The pictures speak for themselves. That was within one minute. I will forever buy this product, and it moisturizes your eyes really well. My eyes get really red and dry from the wind; now they feel really good.” —Levi 

Get it from Amazon for $11.97.  

6. A genius WD-40 pen that packs all the squeak-quieting, lubricating powers of the tried-and-true formula into a precision-tip pen that’s easy to use and even easier to keep on hand for quick fixes, so you don’t let that squeaky door live on for far too long. 

Promising review: “I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen ‘junk’ drawer, and the house toolbox.” —BBP623

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99.

7. A set of cold sore healing patches with an ultra-discreet design if you’re a frequent sufferer desperate for a way to reduce the pain and blistering these unwelcome guests bring with them. 

Promising review: “I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I’ve had and wouldn’t clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. It’s been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers.” —Jessica Hill

Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $13.98.

8. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can quickly remove years’ (I repeat, YEARS’) worth of hard calluses without endless scraping and scrubbing. I’d start picking out a new pair of sandals STAT! 

Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It’s recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: “I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they’re almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions…left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don’t have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore.” —Kiki

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two scents).

9. A beloved tub of pink cleaning paste for performing small cleaning miracles on virtually any surface in your home without endless, abrasive scrubbing. Try it out on those “forever” stains other solutions could never handle. 

Promising review: “Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do with this product! Literally, use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need so LITTLE of this product that it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!” —Rachel in CLT

Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in two sizes).

10. A cruelty-free under-eye brightener to effortlessly conceal dark circles since you haven’t gotten enough sleep in *checks watch* about a decade. The color-adapting formula is creamy and lightweight, so you don’t have to worry about unwanted creasing and cakiness, either. 

The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Check out a TikTok of the brightener in action. 

Promising review: “Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it.” —Placeholder

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 

11. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection down alternative pillows because you’re tired of feeling like Goldilocks, testing pillows that are too soft or too stiff. Finally, this one is just right and feels like you checked into a 5-star resort ~every~ night. 

Promising review: “I was looking for a squishy alternative down pillow that didn’t cost too much. I saw the reviews for these and took a chance since it was a set of two. The price was right. These are just what I wanted. I sleep on my side and stomach mostly, and most pillows are too thick and make my neck hurt. These mold to me and have enough give and squish to support yet not make my neck crook at an angle, giving me a headache. Great pillow!” —alspachsl

12. A cruelty-free pet ear cleanser that’ll gently (but effectively) flush out built-up dirt to keep your furry friend’s ears happy and healthy without a trip to the groomer. It’ll be a nice change of pace when your dog’s ears flip inside out, and they don’t elicit gasps of horror.

Promising review: “My dog has been dealing with ear infections off and on for the last couple of months. Other over-the-counter stuff only made it worse. As a last resort, before heading to the vet, I decided to give this a try after reading about it. Within two hours, I noticed he wasn’t scratching his ears any longer…Now, on day two, it’s 100% better…Still can’t believe it! This product just saved me several hundred dollars in vet bills. A must-have in my house now!” —Wishfulthinking

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

13. A flexible drain snake if you’d like some help extracting the hair monster living in your pipes. Skip (yet another) call to the plumber and let this tool’s “micro-hook” head and rotating handle achieve the 360-degree removal you’re used to paying top dollar for. Just keep a barf bag nearby — you might need it.

This pack contains a reusable handle and five single-use heads that you just remove and dispose of after handling your clogged pipes.

Promising review: “Wow. Best thing ever. Seriously. I have had tweezers and sticks and plumbers and chemicals trying to get my master sink to drain. Plumber even said I need an entirely new faucet to get the drain plug part because they don’t sell those separately. Well, I have two sinks, a tub, and a shower that all match, so that was not a valid solution. Doubt I can find the same model. So I bought this thing. Stuffed it down, pulled up hair, and black muck. I did it about eight times quickly, ran the water, and went right down the drain. Seriously. Everyone with a sink needs this tool. Seriously.” —juliejules

14. A box of Mighty Patch pimple patches containing hydrocolloid so you can stop that zit dead in its tracks with gunk-absorbing powers that speed up the pimple healing process. The sticker format can also help prevent you from habitual picking or popping. 

Promising review: “I’ve used this specific brand for years now and have found them to be the best at reducing the size and redness of breakouts! Whenever I notice a zit popping up, I put one of these on right before bed, and it stays put all night, even when I toss and turn a lot. By morning, it’s much less noticeable and practically nonexistent when I cover the zit with makeup. It’s such a great practically zero-effort way to treat blemishes!” —Ciera Velarde

15. Plus, a pack of nose pore patches for making your skincare dreams a reality by expunging gunk and excess oil from your nose while you sleep. The hardest part will be resisting the urge to touch your post-treatment skin now that it’s as smooth as a baby seal. 

Promising review: “It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that’s why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It’s probably sorcery.” —Jack Sawyer

16. A Baseboard Buddy with an extendable handle to save your knees, back, and shoulders from the pain of crouched-over cleaning. This utilizes a contoured head that conforms to the shape of baseboards and door moldings with reusable cleaning pads that trap and lock dirt with a simple swipe. 

The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry. 

Promising review:Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations about 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

17. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because traditional strips are expensive, take forever to see results, and can leave you with teeth sensitivity that is, in my professional opinion, NO fun. With this pen, you can get noticeable results fast. And the best part? No lingering sensitivity. 

Promising review: “I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I’m a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I’m finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!” —Mully

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.

18. A gentle pore-clearing cleansing oil that’s so effective, reviewers say you can actually see bits of gunk leaving your pores. WILD. It’s suitable for all skin types and is formulated with heartleaf extract to help you get that *glowy* glass skin look. 

See it in action on TikTok

Promising review: “This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see the white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin. However, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby’s bottom, and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera” —Myshel Cagle

Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

19. A jumbo pack of Glad ForceFlex kitchen trash bags packed with the fresh scent of Febreze if you’ve had one too many overstuffed bags explode on your way to the dumpster. It’s 2024 — we have the technology to stop the mess, and these strong, stretchy bags are IT. 

Amazon

Promising review: “Over the years, I have discovered that for the kitchen there is only one reliable trash bag liner: Glad ForceFlex. You may find other bags that look similar and cost less but having tried them all (IMHO), the only bag worthy of being in the kitchen is Glad. I use the cheaper bags in the garage, laundry room, bathrooms, bedroom, and office, but never in the kitchen. Once you have a bag other than Glad ForceFlex in the kitchen, and it fails…you will become a Glad kitchen trash can bag fan, too!” —CU2MRO

20. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit so you can drastically *cut* down on food prep and cleanup time with interchangeable blades that can each be popped into the dishwasher. You’ve been around long enough to know you never want to chop an onion by hand again. 

Promising review: “Makes life so much easier. I can’t imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors and three other styles).

21. Or a time-saving fruit and veggie divider to quickly create bite-sized versions of allllll the snacks. This works with a wide range of produce shapes and sizes. Think of all the time you’ll get back not hand-slicing fruits for your toddler’s breakfast every morning!! 

See it in action on TikTok.

Promising review: “If you have toddlers, get it — especially if you’re on the fence. I needed something for grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and other small fruits and veggies we go through so much. My breakfast was getting cold long before I was done cutting fruit for two toddlers. Most cutters only do one grape or berry, but this one can do several grapes and a small handful of blueberries. We will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it in this house.” —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $10.91

22. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner for not only cleaning but preventing soap scum buildup with minimal effort. Once a week, simply give your shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse, and — BOOM — you’re done and didn’t even break a sweat.

Promising review: “I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach, and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use, it will get there. Highly recommend this product.” —KZ

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two sizes and two scents).

23. Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion because TikTok is losing its mind over how hydrating, lightweight, and soothing this delicious-smelling formula is at a price that’s just *chef’s kiss.*

Listen to one user’s glowing review on TikTok

Promising review: Better than TikTok said! OMRyan Gosling, this is an amazing lotion!!! Run, don’t walk, and buy this lotion! The name is vanilla cashmere and that is exactly what this is! Love love love!” —DeeDra Billings

Get it from Amazon for $8.98.  

24. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that’ll get rid of (and prevent) the streaks, smudges, and grubby fingerprints that are keeping your appliances from living up to the “stainless” in stainless steel.

Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business creating plant-based cleaning solutions from their very own factory in New Hampshire that just so happen to also smell amazing. 

It also comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth!

Promising review: “We got this product because, while stainless steel appliances look so nice when you first get them, as soon as you start using them, you get fingerprints galore. All of the ‘home remedy’ tricks we tried were annoying or so labor-intensive as to be overly frustrating, so this product has been wonderful. It takes only a few minutes to clean all the appliances and make them look brand-new again — great for when company comes over, and you want to pretend like you always live in a magazine spread for a home rather than the comfortable way you normally do :-)” —Anton Stocker

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes).

25. A set of reusable Wad-Free tools you might recognize from Shark Tank if you’re tired of laundry day getting derailed by tangled bedsheets. These help maintain a balanced washer drum, reduce dry times, and prevent wet clothes from getting trapped in the sheets. 

Amazon

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic by Cyndi Bray, who had a wadding problem and no available solutions. So they did what anyone would do (JK) — learned CAD (computer-aided design) and invented a genius solution! 

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, but they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, 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

26. A fast-acting plug-in fly trap so you can lure pests in to meet their sticky demise without being forced to witness a gross bug graveyard like other, less discrete traps. 

You’ll get one device and two glue cards.

Promising review: “I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!” —Chris H.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (also available as a two-pack).  

27. A durable honeycomb drawer for eliminating the full-scale drawer excavation you perform every time you’re looking for a specific scarf, tie, or pair of underwear.

Thanks to its super simple design, the organizer can be assembled simply by snapping the pieces together. Plus they can expand to fit the size of your drawers.

Promising review: “I am a man of many socks and these helped organize them much better than what I was doing. It’s easy to do by color and style.” —Think Blue

Get it from Amazon $7.99.

28. A box of waterproof medicated pads you apply like bandages to finally force out the wart living rent-free under your skin.

Promising review: “I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. I went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn’t completely remove the wart, so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped, but not for too long, and the wart came back (in a couple of days). Long story short, I got these medicated bandages and the results are incredibly satisfying. I used these bandages every day for a week, and the next week, my wart is gone. So far, it’s been a week after and I haven’t noticed any growth. Highly recommend!” —J

Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in two styles).

29. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets because (to my shock and horror) you have to clean the thing that cleans your dishes, and these tablets make doing so as quick and easy as…well…running the dishwasher.

Promising review: “This may be one of the best uses of your money ever. For a relatively small price, these dishwasher cleaning pods actually work. They removed a great deal of the grime that had accumulated in my old dishwasher over the years, and I plan to use them again and again and again!” —sally 

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $13.92.

30. A pack of no-frills, high-waisted underwear that’s got the full coverage you want combined with the 95% cotton and 5% spandex blend you need to stay aired out, comfy, and dry all day long. 

Promising review: “These are the absolute best underwear I’ve ever owned. Bought more and bought some for both of my adult daughters. They are no show, don’t ride up, don’t shrink, wash wonderfully as well as dry, and hold their shape. They are breathable and so so comfy. You will not be disappointed at all! Just buy them and hope they never stop selling them. They are true to size as well. Just stop what you are doing and order!” —Julie Maxwell

Get a five-pack from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women’s sizes S–5XL and 10 color combos). 

31. A fragrance-free CeraVe eye cream if you saw that Michael CeraVe Superbowl ad and wanna know what all the hullabaloo is about. Here’s the deal — the non-greasy formula was developed with dermatologists and helps combat puffiness and dark circles with a nourishing combination of ceramides and hyaluronic acid. 

Promising review: “Out of the hundreds of products I’ve bought, I’ve written maybe five reviews. Most of those were bad reviews. 😅 THIS review is like the 10 gold stars of reviews. I LOVE THIS EYE CREAM! I have a pretty nasty bag under only one of my eyes. Within four days, that bag is GONE! I don’t know how, but it is. The area around my eyes is softer than it’s ever been. Even makeup looks amazing now. It no longer settles in those pesky fine lines. I wish I could find a cream that made my entire face this soft. I microneedle, I’ve done TCA peels, I’m obsessed with Korean skincare, but NOTHING has ever given me such results as this eye cream. The area around my eyes feels like silk. BUY THIS EYE CREAM! You won’t be disappointed.” —Emily Hunter

33. A space-saving cutlery drawer organizer so you can cram a full 24-piece set of silverware in half the space of a traditional organizer and actually find the fork you need when you need it.

This organizer is suitable for drawers with a minimum height of 3.25 inches.

Promising review: “I thought this would be handy and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother’s silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side by side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful.” —Magpie

Promising review: “This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad that I could shake my head, and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier.” —Moo Moo

Get it from Amazon for $15.88.

35. A pack of stain-lifting pads to take care of stains like freshly spilled wine or old pet accidents on your carpet without you even having to touch it. Simply lay down the pad, stomp, and let it sit.

Promising review: “WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try them out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I’ve tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let them sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn’t believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow, the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn’t recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than 5 stars.” —Matt

36. A 40-pound bag of dust-free clumping litter because somehow you feel like all your time is spent hunched over the cat’s litter box digging for gold. Make the chore quicker and easier with litter that’s low tracking and quickly clumps for easy scooping. 

Dr. Elsey’s

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart has this stuff on auto-ship: 

“I live in a third-story apartment in NYC, so I really don’t have many options when it comes to cat litter. With Amazon’s subscribe and save, though, I can get a 40-pound bag delivered right to my door, so I don’t have to carry it back from a store or even up my own stairs! If you live in a multi-cat household, I think it’s especially worthwhile because while those little two-pound bags are easy to carry, they go reallyyyy fast. This stuff also clumps up SO well and keeps odor at bay, which is a major blessing.” 

Promising review: “I can hardly believe how well it does the job. It eliminates odors and absorbs excellently. I will only buy this litter from now on, and my cat 💘s it. P.S.: I’ve tried at least 10 kinds of cat litter, and they are very costly. This one’s price is just right and works in every way I need it to. Thank you!” —Paula Stokes

37. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars that are packed with all the skin-loving good stuff (vitamin C, turmeric, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and MORE) to help even out skin and diminish dark spots wherever they pop up. 

Promising review: “So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I’m usually a ‘full face of makeup at all times’ kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even.” —Adrienne Jerkins

38. A toilet tank cleaner if no one told you that part needs to be cleaned, too, and now you’re horrified at the thought (or is that just me?). Never fear! This scrub-free formula does all the scary work for you. 

Promising review: “I didn’t have much calcium or other hard mineral deposits in my two toilet tanks. But there was a fair amount of slimy sediment. One treatment cleaned up the tanks about 90%. I ordered another bottle of the cleaner and gave each tank a second treatment. The tanks now look brand new! The important thing is to give the cleaner enough time to work. I put the cleaner in the tanks before I went to bed, so it worked overnight.” —Jack

39. And a gel toilet cleaning stamp so you can keep your porcelain throne looking and smelling clean between scrub sessions with approximately zero effort. Cleansing gel releases with every flush, leaving behind a fresh scent and preventing stain buildups.

Each stamp lasts for around 12 days!

Promising review: “I love these ‘stamps.’ They keep your toilet clean and make the entire bathroom smell fantastic, clean, and deodorized at all times. They are very easy to use; don’t over-complicate the instructions. I did, thinking there had to be more to it than that. You just stick it on the inside of the toilet and it will stay in place and clean the toilet each time it is flushed. I love these!” —J. D. Robinson

40. A moisturizing saline gel for putting an end to the frequent nosebleeds and restoring some desperately needed moisture to your dry, irritated nasal biome. If you use a CPAP machine or get dried out on long-haul flights, I’d add this to cart STAT. 

Promising review: “My girlfriend had recommended this product to me, and I only purchased a very small tube, not knowing if I would be satisfied or not. It really IS a good product. It helps put moisturize your nose. In the winter my nose gets dry from the heat and humidity, and I needed something to moisturize it. This product really IS excellent. It’s not costly, helps you, and is well worth the price.” —SB

Get it from Amazon for $3.62 (also available in two-packs). 

41. An absorbent faucet drip catcher because now you can skip the after-dinner ritual of mopping up the small lagoon that forms behind your sink every time you do dishes.

Hustle & Sew / Etsy

Hustle & Sew is a Saint Helens, Oregon-based Etsy shop with lots of fun and functional handmade goods like face masks, bags, and stasher scrunchies!

Promising review: “This product is awesome! I have four kids who take care of the dishes after dinner each night and to say they are messy would be an understatement! This little water catcher has solved the puddle that used to surround my faucet at the end of each night. Thank you!!” —cadencewilliams2

Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and five colors).

42. A comfy Warner’s wire-free bra to singlehandedly solve all your bra-blems with its cloud-level comfort and lightweight design. Even wireless skeptics should consider this surprisingly supportive pick, which absorbs boob sweat like a champ and doesn’t have any awkward seams that show up under thin tops. 

Ya’ll…I bought this bra because I desperately needed something that wouldn’t show through thin, white T-shirts and…this is it! Not gonna lie — it’s not a sexy pick, but she is comfy as they come with waaayyyy more support than most wireless styles. 

Promising review: “I adore these bras. It is a very comfortable fit, super lightweight, and breathable fabric. The perfect bra for me!” —sarah lee

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 18 colors).

And here are some more wireless bras if you’re looking for similar styles!

43. A set of fridge organizers because the perpetually chaotic nature of your fridge makes it a little too easy to forget what’s in there, resulting in spoiled food and wasted money. 

Promising review: “For this item, save yourself the time reading the reviews and just buy the refrigerator organizing storage bins. If you need the organization and ease of locating refrigerator items, you will love these bins. The bins are that good and more! I wish I had bought these bins years ago!!! The seller was prompt with delivery with no issues.” —Carol 

Get a set of eight bins from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four sizes and in sets of two, four, six, 10, and 14). 

44. A Dawn Powerwash spray bundle that eliminates the time-consuming dish pre-soak so you can clear out your sink sooner. Just spray, wait a few minutes while it works it’s magic, and wipe the stains away. 

This bundle includes one spray bottle and three refills. It also works great for any other greasy messes you have around the house! 

Promising review: “The first place I tried this was in my air fryer basket. It gets caked with the grease that comes from the food. The dishwasher doesn’t get it clean. I sprayed this on it, and within a few minutes, the soap started turning a brownish color. I sprayed a little more and let it sit for an hour. All of the grease came off with a rinse!! Bonus use: I just used it to get resin off of my and my daughter’s hands!! How did I ever live without this??” —A D

Get it from Amazon for $17.46.

45. A pack of carborundum sponges if your normie sponge is failing to clear away the burnt on bits your pans like to hold onto. 

Promising review: “Nice and thin. You’ll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin, modern-looking things). I’ve tried everything for 4 years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe i’ll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol).” —Hoarder

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses).

46. A jumbo pack of magic cleaning pads reviewers have likened to Magic Erasers with an extra thick design that’s even more durable. Time to make all those wall scruffs and grimy door stains ~disappear~. 

Promising review: “I went on a four-hour date with these bad boys and my baseboards. It was a great date!! My baseboards are so shiny and the erasers did not scratch my walls or paint when I cleaned the top lip of the baseboards. I can easily cut or tear them in half to get smaller erasers for those nooks and crannies.” —Heather C

Psst — check out BuzzFeed’s STK cleaning pads review for more deets (and incredible before and after photos).

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95.

47. A set of five makeup sponges so you can quit spending upwards of $20 on name-brand blenders. These sponges can be used wet or dry and offer airbrush-level blending without the high price tag. 

Promising review: “Don’t hesitate, just buy these. I was using the Real Technique sponges for years and I bought these on a whim after seeing several TikToks praising these. I love these sponges and the price. I apply liquid foundation with a damp sponge and these work better than Real Techniques. They are dense but soft and ‘bouncy.’ I wash mine between each use and these hold up very well and much better than the RT. Very happy with my purchase and the price. Will definitely continue to buy.” —chris

Get a five-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five color schemes). 

48. A set of eye-popping fine point pens because why settle for just black and blue pens when you could have all the colors of the rainbow at your disposal?!

These are designed not to bleed through thin pages, so all your planners and journals can get the flair pen treatment. 

Promising review: “I love how this pen feels to hold and it writes beautifully! I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use, and I don’t remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!” —Kate

Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $8.99

49. A suction overflow drain cover since shallow water and that ambient draining sound isn’t exactly your idea of relaxing. With this simple cover, your teeny apartment bath can become the deep soaking tub of your dreams! 

Promising review: “This product is genius, and I wish I had it years ago! I love to take baths — that’s my ‘me’ time and time to relax. The downfall was just never feeling like there was enough water in the tub and I was annoyed with the sound of water always draining from the overflow. This has solved my problem! A FULL tub of water and no annoying draining sounds! When I’m done, I just remove the cover and hang it up to dry. Easy peasy! The suction is strong, and I’ve not had a single issue so far. You can’t beat the price, too!” —K.C.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).

50. A set of pastel “unbreakable” deep plates if you’re looking for dishware that looks splurge-worthy without the scary price tag. These minimalist beauties work for just about any meal you can dream up, are surprisingly lightweight, and are dishwasher- and microwave-safe. 

Note that the dishes are microwave-safe for up to 3 minutes!! 

Promising review: “These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can’t complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also, it’s an in-between size, like a medium. Just right for me.” —M. Zolnosky

Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.55 (also available as bowls!).
