1. A TikTok-famous Little Green upholstery cleaner from Bissell — this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell’s Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $11!
Promising review: “I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn’t sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!” —Kathleen Petro

2. A pack of Crest 3D Whitestrips with 44 strips total (meaning you’ll have enough products for 20 regular treatments and two one-hour express treatments) so you can have your coffee and drink it too *without discoloring your teeth*.
Check out a TikTok of the Crest 3D Whitestrips in action.
Promising review: “I haven’t used Crest White Strips in over five years. Since then, my teeth have stayed really white, and I frequently get compliments or questions about how I got my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked at how much these have improved! Before, the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package, and really hard to keep on your teeth — the old ones would slip or bunch up. These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on. The strips are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I’ve purchased, I have only used them about four times, and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed, too. I think these are well worth the money and work as well as a professional treatment. I have had friends who have done professional treatments and their teeth are not as white as mine. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a brighter/whiter smile!” —Vanessa5o5
Get them from Amazon for $42.80.
3. 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 $14.99.
4. A Cruiser City from Veer, designed with swivel wheels furthest from the handle, meaning you can push it like a stroller while still getting all the benefits of a ride-on wagon! If you love wagons but find navigating them through grocery isles and sidewalks a chore, this is for you. It can also be pulled if you’re heading uphill or on rockier roads. This is a truly game-changing way to explore the world with your kids. Plus, it has cup holders.
I have never seen my husband gush over a product for our daughter more than he has with this wagon. And I’m just as big of a fan! There are *so* many useful accessories you can get to customize your ride specifically to your family’s needs. We have a canopy, a cushioned toddler seat, extra storage nets, a cooler, and more. There are different attachments for season changes and a range of ages — so this truly grows with your child. It is easy to get through doors, swivel around pedestrians, and roam around uneven surfaces at the park. I can’t think of a more useful product for parents in a city, or families who are often out and about. Most importantly, my daughter *adores* it. She laughs, cheers, and giggles the whole ride (plus the cup tray attachment means she can snack on her own while we’re on the move). This wagon is the sort of thing that makes me glad I’m a parent in 2024. Parenting products have come a *long* way!
Get it from Veer for $699+(available in two sizes).
5. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller — this is gonna pick up fur and lock it inside the roller, making cleanup a breeze. Plus, it doesn’t lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets but woof, shedding is their greatest skill.
Promising review: “I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However I find it’s a great arm workout and it works wonders.” —Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors).
6. A pack of leather cleaning wipes made with a nontoxic, grease-free formula that’ll condition, clean, and protect leather without leaving residue behind.
7. A box of deep-cleansing pore strips to help you break free from your breakouts.
Promising review: “Want to feel disgusting about your previous self from five minutes ago and better about your health for the next couple of weeks? Then wet down your schnozz and toss one of these babies on there. It will transform from malleable and comfortable to a stiff sticky pad on your face. After waiting five minutes, when you are ready to see what disgusting things have been cratered in your nose, pull this baby off. Get ready to feel the rush of excitement as your nose has its blackheads ripped from their pores and you feel cleaner than you do after a shower. Then flip it over and inspect it closely to see how many nasty blackheads were previously calling your nose home. Take a pick or show to a friend, preferably both. Then crumple it up and throw it away and begin the countdown until the next extraction.” —r0bdawg11
Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $13.49 (available in two pack sizes and an additional style).
8. A hip seat for parents of infants and toddlers (17-45 lbs and 6-48 months, to be precise) who want to be carried as often as they want to walk/wiggle, who decide *adamantly* that they want to switch at a split second.
Ergobaby
I. Love. This. My daughter has *lived* in Ergobaby carriers as we’ve spent the last year walking all around our neighborhood and city. We’ve used the traditionally shaped carriers until this point. She’s now 11 months and prefers a little more freedom when we’re on the move — which has made this hip carrier essential. Using this, I can set her down on her own chair without undoing carrier straps. I can let her walk, stand, and scoot around without any effort on my part. It’s perfect for museums, train rides, and short walks. It’s a must-have if you ask me.
Another way you can make life a little simpler? Ergobaby has a “buy back, restoration, and resell program” called Everlove where you can purchase less expensive, pre-owned carriers and sell your own after your kiddo has grown out of it. Three cheers for family-friendly sustainability!
Get it from Ergobaby for $79 (available in two colors).
9. A pack of Spin Pins capable of holding your hair tight no matter how much you move, saving you from constantly readjusting your ‘do throughout the day.
One of these coils is as strong as 20 (!) standard hair pins. Bad hair days are officially extinct.
Promising review: “I’m a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I’ve tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust me…anyone can.” —Tina
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
10. A roll-up drying rack made with metal grates covered in soft silicone that’ll prevent scratches and take up basically no storage space. Roll this on top of the sink when in use and tuck it away in a drawer when the dishes are done! It dries fast, so no worries about drippings in your drawers.
Promising review: “This is very sturdy and it allows air into cups, pans, etc. to dry easily – unlike a drying pad. It holds heavy pans with no problem. The color is soft and goes great with my white and gray countertops and it’s extremely functional. It’s easy to clean, just roll it up and store it under the sink. Highly recommend. 👍🏻” —Denise
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in three sizes).
11. A set of four cabinet shelf organizers for maximizing awkward cabinet space. They also stack, so feel free to put your puzzle skills to use and fit short, tall, and awkwardly shaped cookie jars in a neat and tidy setup.
Promising review: “Randomly write reviews, but you need this! EXACTLY what we were looking for. Oak color blends right into the interior of cabinets, and white supports match our dishes. Going to, for sure, buy more for every cabinet in the house. Instantly gained twice the storage. No longer have to pick up a stack of dishes to grab a tray, etc. Bargain as well. Looks way better and supports so much more than old wire shelves… Solid wood/metal. Easy to install each shelf with nothing but the four screws included and a Phillips head screwdriver. Had all four “built” in less than five minutes. 100% recommend! —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes).
12. A shoe stretch spray because autumn is on the way 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.
13. A detangling brush with over 60,000 five-star reviews! There’s no need to brush off your kid’s (and TBH, YOUR) tears when their tangles try and ruin your morning. Use this pain-free option instead. You are ~knot~ losing to bedhead anymore!
Reviewers swear this brush works on all hair types: straight, wavy, or curly (from 3a–4c hair).
Promising review: “I’m a single dad of a 6-year-old girl, and combing her hair is the hardest part of taking care of her. She gets really bad knots in her hair. This brush is the only thing that has ever worked. Thank you so much. She even likes to comb her own hair now.” —Nguyen P.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in several colors and two-packs).
14. A portable door lock so you can add some extra security in seconds, without a single tool in sight.
This thing is super strong and takes less than a minute to install. Just open the door and insert the claws on the back of the silver piece into the “strike” of the door (the hole where the lock fits in) and then close the door. After you’ve done that, take the metal rod on the red handle and insert it into the butterfly hole on the silver piece. This completely locks the door handle – no one from the outside could even try to peak in.
Promising review: “This is a LIFE SAVER…literally. Thanks to Add-A-Lock’s simple design and simple instructions, my 18-month-old can no longer leave the apartment and wander the halls or attempt to take rides on the elevator in my apartment building. This is well worth the money. Five stars!!” —Lori S.
Get two from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in a two-pack).
15. A bottle of Folex spot remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy. Your home will still look fantastic.
Promising review: “I’ve been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I’ve removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the stains were caused by, so can’t pass that along. I’ve used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it’s so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend.” —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $6.65 (available in multipacks).
16. 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).
17. A can of fire extinguishing spray designed to spark your muscle memory, because nothing sounds scarier than not knowing how to use an extinguisher when you notice a fire start to spark.
Promising review: “I bought one for beside the grill, one for beside the stove, one for the laundry room, and one for the car. I think the intuitive, easy to use design is fantastic. We already have the muscle memory for using a spray can. In an emergency, it’s so much easier to grab this and use it, and turn a small fire into a non-fire. I don’t have time to remember a three step method of fire control when my bacon has gotten out of control on the stove. I’m not a firefighter! I’d really like to have one in every room. Think about it. Isn’t it better to immediately contain a small fire than deal with a big one? This could save your life, and your house.” —K. Zander
Get it from Amazon for $12.49.
18. An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip you can use if you’d prefer your furniture actually be directly against the wall, thank you very much.
Promising review: “This product is awesome! We bought one in the office to stop a nearby chair from continuously hitting the outlet plugs. It solved the problem right away. So we ordered three more to use anywhere there is bulk on the wall. It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, it’s clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!” —Jay
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in 11 styles and two outlet types).
19. 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).
20. An under-the-sink water filtration system so you can grab a glass and drink straight from the sink, knowing it’s already filtered to perfection.
Amazon
It has a two-step filter that removes 99.99% of contaminants, and it comes with direct connect hoses to hook right up to the standard 3/8″ valves in U.S. kitchen sinks. It’s designed to be installed in under three minutes.
Promising review: “We have town water and it seems they are putting more and more chlorine in it every year. We should be getting used to it and tasting it less and less, not more! The refrigerator filters are super expensive and weren’t cutting it. Every time I put a glass to my mouth it smelled like a swimming pool. I searched the internet and decided to give this a try due to the positive reviews and affordability. Wow! easy install (I’m an avid DIYer). And the taste! The chorine taste is just gone! No more overpriced fridge filters for us. I love that the filter replacement procedure is basically the same as a fridge. Just twist and remove. We love it so much I teed off the fridge line and put a dispenser at our sink as well. The flow on this thing is just amazing! And the water tastes great! Don’t waste your money on the expensive, complicated ones. My parents have a three-chambered, name brand filter at their house. It was expensive, the replacement filters are expensive, it is a pain in the petunias to replace the filters, and the flow rate is pathetic! But guess what! Our water from this filter tastes just as good as theirs at a fraction of the price, plus it’s way more convenient, plus the flow rate is way better. I just can’t say enough. Love, Love it! You will too!” —BJ
Get it from Amazon for $59.49+ (available in two sizes).
21. 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.
22. A darling pig egg yolk separator for when your recipe calls for separated eggs and you don’t want your meal turning into slop.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love to bake with my 4-year-old son and he wants to help with the eggs but he doesn’t have the ability with his little hands to separate egg yolks and whites by pouring the yolk from shell half to half, but he can suck the yolk up with the piggy. Not only does it work but it’s fun for him and me. I bought one for my sister as well for when she bakes with my niece.” —JG
Get it from Amazon for $13.90 (available in three styles).
23. A pack of toy straps can prevent your mini football player from tossing their pacifiers and toys from a stroller or car seat.
Promising review: “This is a simple concept, but something that you would not normally think you need. After losing a few toys off the side of the stroller, I felt there had to be a way to keep toys and bottles from falling over the edge. I found these and took a shot at ordering them. The straps come with snaps at differing lengths to accommodate anything from Sophie the Giraffe all the way to our large Tommee Tippee bottles. I have not lost a toy since getting these nor has a bottle fallen on the ground. The strap dries out easily when she may have some excess ‘droolage.’ I think I might start giving these as a shower gift.” —Kay
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 11 colors).
24. 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).
25. A garlic rocker that’ll, ahem, rock your world. This tool is so much easier than a traditional garlic press.
I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press. This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle, it minces just the same. This also comes with a (TBH very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that’ll help you peel your cloves in an instant.
Promising review: “I like garlic very much, so I use this garlic press every day. It works very well, is easy to use, and easy to clean. Compared with the garlic press I used before, this is more labor-saving and comfortable.” —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors).
26. An attachable dirty diaper sack dispenser with 24 bags you can toss your dirty diapers in when there isn’t a convenient trash nearby.
You can grab a refill pack when you run out!
Promising review: “Holy moly! Having the knob on the side that allows you to retract the bag into the container makes this tiny contraption SO amazing. I’ve never seen that for other ones on the market. I use these for dirty diapers and my toddler used to LOVE pulling them out way far! It used to be a paaaaaaain stuffing the bags back inside. This eliminates those annoying moments! Woohoo!” —Kyle Perez
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in five colors and multipacks).
27. A rubber ducky bath spout cover that’s gonna keep your kiddo from ~quacking~ their head open on the hard faucet if they’re rather squirmy during bath time.
28. A moisture meter to place deep down into the soil and know exactly how much water your plant is getting. Under- and overwatering is a thing of the past, people!
I love having this tool in my home! I jumped on the 2020 plant trend fast and have filled my home with tons of botanicals (that all have different watering schedules). The meter tells you if a plant is being over-watered or under-watered right down to the root, which is very necessary for a plant parent (who used to be a plant murderer) like myself.
Promising review: “This item is great. I can check how wet my plants are down where the roots are. So no more over watering! It is very accurate. This works great!!” —Terri Carlson
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in three colors).
29. A pet hair broom that extends up to 60 inches, so you’ll actually manage reaching all the nooks and crannies where your pet puts their fanny…and get all the hair they love leaving behind.
Promising review: “I bought this broom based on the tons of great reviews and I am not disappointed. I love this broom! It is lightweight but sturdy. I have used it on tile floors and carpet and it does a great job of getting the pet hair, lint, and dirt. I like this so much better than our traditional push broom. It is very easy to clean after use just using my hand, unlike our old broom. It also has a telescoping handle so that you can adjust it to whatever height you need. There is also a squeegee for doing the house windows and the car windows. I highly recommend it.” —Joyce V
Get it from Amazon for $15.93.
30. A drill brush kit, because having a tool that cleans just about everything is sure to make chores a breeze.
This kit includes three nylon power brushes that’ll fit on any cordless drill.
Promising review: “These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shined brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well-made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them.” —Tom S4TX
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six styles).
31. A silverware cubby for upgrading your currently cluttered utensil drawer. This space-saving solution practically flat packs your flatware.
I use this in my kitchen! I have to admit…it hasn’t exaaactly helped with organization. What it *has* done is created a neat and orderly spot for my utensils…opening up a ton of extra drawer space for my unruly stash of pens, bouillon cubes, drink flavor packets, and the like. Long story short — I recommend this for tidy and messy folks alike!
Promising review: “We were short on storage and drawer space and this worked perfectly for our tiny drawer!” —Angela McMichael
Get it from Amazon for $11.38+ (available in two sizes and styles).
32. A pair of blind-spot mirrors you’ll be particularly happy about owning when you’ve gotta parallel park in front of a Porsche.
Amazon
Promising review: “I bought these for my mom’s car and mine a while ago and these little things are great. Since I got my license I’ve hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these its been a blessing, I feel less like a scared new driver. I’m currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these too! These are also great for backing up, because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind, and it’s helpful when I parallel park in the city.” —Mariam Abass
Get them from Amazon for $5.99 (available in four shapes and three styles).
33. A cheese keeper to keep your favorite cheeses, both hard and soft, alive longer by allowing them to breathe. In the words of her highness, Veruca Salt, “Give it to me NOW!”
Amazon
Cheese is MY bar of chocolate.
Promising review: “Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I’m MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!” —Awesome Taste
Get it from Amazon for $12.06.
34. A window-installed pet door that’ll let your pet easily get in and out of the house, even if you have a rental. No more destroying doors by making tinier doors!
Promising review: “I love this! We didn’t have a good place to make a hole in the wall to our backyard but we do have low windows next to our fireplace, so it was a match to get this window door. It was super easy to install and we love the locking feature. We got a snow storm and it took a while for our garden beds to stop being muddy. We locked the door so kitty wouldn’t bring in mud. I will say it is a bit drafty, so we got an extra weather strip to secure the draftiness. Our kitty only took a couple of days to get used to it too. We put his food just outside the window and he had to get used to going out there to get his food. All in all it was a great buy!” —AlyHowell
Get it from Amazon for $112.71+ (available in three window width sizes and five cat flap sizes).
35. 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).
36. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp that’s easy peasy to put on *and* makes cleaning your toilet simpler than it’s ever been! Mostly because, with this, you won’t be the one cleaning your toilet.
Promising review: “I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job.” —Janet
Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.74.

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

38. A window fly trap that’ll get rid of pesky house flies in an efficient and sanitary way whenever the bugs decide to show up uninvited.
Promising review: “Gross yet effective. We live in the country with animals so we have lots of flies. I did not want to hang a fly trap but caved when I saw this. I feel it’s not as noticeable as others and is easy to hide and works very well. Easy to hang and does not leave a sticky residue when removed.” —Tina

41. A microwave cleaner that’ll save your microwave from a caked-on death by chocolate (mug cake).
Promising review: “I’m embarrassed to say I hadn’t cleaned my microwave in about six months. It’s an awful task. I ran this one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. I highly recommend using it (more often than once every six months) for a super fast, super clean microwave!” —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).
42. A box of washing machine cleaning tablets to dissolve residue and make your washing machine actually smell fresh, which is a big deal when you haven’t washed your machine since…you bought it.
Promising review: “Our new LG washer gets a stinky smell every so often so I bought these tabs. I put one in a month on the clean tub setting and it eliminates the odor. I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and add an X when I put the tab in for the month. This way I don’t miss a month and my washer runs great.” —akkeber

Promising review: “If you’re on the fence, just do it. They are half the price of MaxTrax and just as good, I haven’t used them as a bridge, but they literally saved my and my wife’s lives in a recent Colorado Blizzard on a horrible mountain pass. Good tires, and 4LO couldn’t get me up the 12% grade in about 1′ of fresh snow on top of 1–2″ of ice and we were just sliding sideways toward the literal cliff. We got these babies out, wedged them against the front and rear opposite corners and it got us out of the terrible situation and back home.” —Tony
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $126.03+ (available in five styles and four colors).
44. An overnight tank cleaner is gonna make your tank clean as ever while *you* enjoy a snooze. Catch some ZZZs and wake up to a task that’s completely taken care of.
Promising review: “According to the instructions I was supposed to use the whole bottle but being that it was so big and that I had two toilets to clean, I only used half. I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960s and I doubt it’s been cleaned within the last few decades. In the ‘after’ photo you can see that there is still some rust left over but large chunks fell off the sides and can be seen on the bottom of the tank.” —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $7.07.
