1. A The Saem hydrating eye stick that has a cooling formula to help de-puff the area around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles so no one at the office starts asking you why you look like a Tim Burton character.
It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.
Promising review: "Within ten minutes, my under-eye bags and discoloration were considerably better. I didn't think this would work but I just screamed at my boyfriend, 'I'm screwed because I'm going to need to never run out of this stuff.' Such a difference. I'm highly satisfied and upset I didn't purchase more to give to the ladies in my life as a holiday present. There's always next year though!" —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a collagen stick).
2. Or an eye cream for dark circles featuring yerba mate extract, as well as caffeine, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, at a bafflingly low price for the amount of compliments you're due to receive.
Good Molecules is a small bizz that creates simple, effective skincare products using science-backed ingredients.
Promising review: "For someone who’s tried hundreds of different skincare products, this stuff is amazing! It’s like a water gel consistency and a little goes a long way. I was skeptical of buying this because I’ve never heard of the brand and thought the low price was sketchy… but this stuff is really nice. I didn’t notice the cooling effect so much but it’s there! Get it if you're hesitant and on a budget!!" —Gail
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
3. A super handy luggage scale — once you have it, you'll never travel without it. Especially if you're going on a longer trip, and you know your luggage will be much heavier on the way back! This lets you know how much it weighs so that you don't have to worry about awkwardly stopping in the middle of a busy airport to re-distribute weight. Plus, reviewers rave about how accurate it is!
Promising reviews: "I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who travels, especially internationally, because of all the extra costs for going over in weight. We were among the few people in line who didn’t need to rearrange our luggage at the airport to meet the weight requirements in Milan. So easy to pack and take with you." —Addison
"This little device was well worth the money spent. It saved us a lot of money on our flight home since we knew the weight was over and could pre-purchase the overage in the app instead of paying double at the airport. I’ll never travel without it!! Very easy to use." —Michael Ellis
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four colors and also as a two-pack).
4. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil made with soothing apple water to help moisturize and soften your lips without giving you that icky sticky finish. It's the perfect way to give your lips a lovely, natural-looking flush in a snap.
This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.
I have been using this lip oil for two months and don't go anywhere without it. It's sooo moisturizing and leaves such a lovely, subtle tint. When my lips are feeling a little dry, I can apply this to add relieving moisture *and* some lively color to my lips. I also love that the brand has various options for different preferences!
Promising review: "I love K-beauty and this is one of my favorite lip oils. It makes my lips softer and looking like cherry plump. Plus, this shade acts as a lip tint, and I like how long it stays on my lips. As first, I thought that the bottle seems small but after applying 2–3 times/day for a month I still have a lot left to use. It moisturizes your lips and leaves a red tint on your lips, and it's lasted very long!" —Nhu
Get it from Amazon for $9.60+ (available in 13 colors, two sizes, and in sets).
5. A Neutrogena makeup-correcting stick so that you don't have to be so anxious about making a "whoopsie" during your beauty routine. This lets you effortlessly clean up smudged eyeliner or mascara, which is more sanitary than using your fingers and more eco-friendly than using cotton swabs!
Psst — this is also *perfect* for taking on long trips!
Promising review: "Perfect for travel or quick touch-ups. I was looking for something nonliquid to take when I travel and this is PERFECT! It's very small and slim and works great. Easily removes makeup and works well on my sensitive skin." —sandy
Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available as a two-pack).
6. A handheld milk frother if you spend so much money at the coffee shop, the baristas are starting to learn your name. 😬 This lets you curate your own rich, creamy foam in seconds so that you can enjoy caramel macchiatos and other foamy cups of joy from the comfort of your own home (and with probably twice the amount of money in your bank account than usual).
Promising review: "Best frother that I've ever used...very comfortable to use and powerful, too. Got this to replace another branded one that zonked out on me after only a couple of months. Love love this frother. I use it to 'blend' my morning coffee with coconut oil. This frother is more powerful than my last. The stand is a nice little bonus to keep the frother off the table and from rolling off the counter. The handle is very comfortable to hold. The back (if the label is facing you), has an index finger rest. I highly recommend this frother." —N Duong
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 40 styles).
7. A skin spatula to really and truly give you that feeling of ~clean skin~. This uses high-frequency vibrations to gently remove gunk and impurities from pores — not only will you feel refreshed, but it'll create the perfect canvas for your expensive skincare products to *actually* absorb.
Check it out in this TikTok!
Promising review: "The way this product has literally made a dramatic difference in my skin in 48 hours????? I’m shocked!! If you have problems with your skin breaking down and getting more breakouts this product is a miracle worker!!! This is a MUST HAVE in every home!!! I have never been so satisfied with a purchase! Thank you! All the nurses on my team have been informed!!! I want us all to be beautiful!" —Camille Rogers
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
8. A Beauty of Joseon serum if you're a real glow getter. The niacinamide and propolis extract formula can help you maintain clearer skin, brighten dark spots, and give you a dewy glow, thanks to its honey-like texture.
I've been using this serum for about three months now and cannot say enough good things about it. I got the "glow" serum (I love that there's different options for different skin concerns) and it continues to minimize my pores and makes my skin look plumped and radiant!
Promising review: "I have been using the serum almost every night and it feels very glowy and reduces hyperpigmentation. As I was used it more and more, I felt this product helped to reduce hyperpigmentation and gives the glowy effect. Very moderately priced, I'm also using the eye cream for the same line and am totally satisfied." —Winter Han
Get it from Amazon for $15.75.
9. A NodPod that gets you as close as possible to feeling like you're in a sensory deprivation tank. This weighted sleep mask offers gentle, evenly distributed pressure and a light- and sound-blocking experience that'll have you drifting off into a restful sleep in the blink of an eye.
Nodpod is a female-founded small business that specializes in these sleep masks.
Promising review: "There's something about placing this weighted thing on my eyes when I'm tossing and turning that lulls me back to sleep. The shape of it is a bit weird — it's not a typical eye mask, it's much bulkier and doesn't fasten on in the same way — but once you get beyond that, this can really be a beautiful thing. I keep it on my bedside table and use it if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep (which happens often) or once the sun rises, and I want to sleep in a little more. If you have sleep issues, I'd recommend trying this novel product." —Veronicam
Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in six colors).
10. A nourishing cuticle oil because it'll totally elevate your next self-care session. It's infused with *real* flowers to soften and condition your cuticles and helps prevent hangnails and tears for more healthy-looking nails! Plus, reviewers claim the smell alone is ~magical~.
Promising review: "I had ordered a single bottle of this cuticle oil for myself. When my oldest daughter came over, she tried it and loved the scent and the blooms inside, so I decided to order her this three-pack. First, the scent, oh my, these smell sooooo good! The oil is not too oily and absorbs quickly into your nails and cuticles. It really helps to keep your cuticles soft. This product is great to keep you from picking at your cuticles. I will definitely order this again." —Jan
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in 30 scents).
11. A lightweight, flexible, portable mini fan that reviewers say has a long-lasting battery for its size and power. Its bendy legs help you secure it (or stand it up!) wherever you want and give you constant airflow while you're traveling, camping, on a road trip, or just lounging during an *extra* hot day. You can even use it as a stroller fan for your little one!
Promising review: "I bought this fan for my toddler's stroller. We went to Disney at the beginning of November. The fan has three speeds. It also has a light that was amazing walking through crowds at night in Disney. It folds up, so it's easy to fit in the bag. The battery stayed all day. I strongly recommend this fan." —diane bourque
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors).
12. A daily lash serum, which'll make your mascara step twice as easy because it'll make your lashes longer and stronger within just a few weeks. You'll be resisting the urge to flutter your lashes like a cartoon character every time your S.O. walks by in no time.
Promising review: "I was amazed when my daughter got this product and her eyelashes looked so long without makeup. I had to try it for myself and sure enough it worked for me as well! Now we both have long full eyelashes without any mascara. This product is truly amazing!!" —jenny schillinger
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in an eyebrow formula).
13. A pack of popular Cosrx pimple patches to evict those pesky pimples that have no business invading your face. These are coated with hydrocolloid to protect and heal the blemish more effectively — you officially have no excuses for popping those pimples anymore!
For persistent or bigger pimples, leave a pimple patch on overnight for two to three days to allow the pimple to diminish completely.
Promising review: "I've suffered from full coverage acne since I was 8 or 9 years old (I know. A freakishly young age to start.). I've use every product known to man. Proactive, Neutrogena, Clearasil, medication from dermatologists...the list goes on, and I'm sure most people have experienced the same. BUT THESE WORK. HOLY SHT THESE WORK. They suck everything out in ONE GOSH DARN NIGHT. I buy a whole bunch at a time and go through probably five packets a month and I've never been happier, and I've never had such clear skin. All you have to do is wash your face and stick the dots on before bed. I stick them wherever I see the red starting, feel that 'oh it's a big one' pain under my skin, or where whiteheads have already started." —Danielle
Get a pack of 72 from Amazon for $10.99 (available in four sizes).
14. A highly portable small power bank charger because having a quick and easy way to get a charge on your phone is a MUST when you know you'll be out and about all day — especially if you'll be taking lots of pics and videos for the 'Gram! Oh and did I mention — it has over 81,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review: "This little gem is amazing! This year we were fortunate enough to do some local traveling and attend quite a few concerts this year. I take a ton of videos and pictures, often draining the battery. This power-packed product charged not only my phone when it was low, but my boyfriend’s AND the girl next to her!! Since you can only take small bags into venues, this slipped right into the pocket behind my phone! We had numerous comments on it because of the little paw charge indicator. The flashing came in handy a few times when we found ourselves in the dark! I will be buying more and giving them as gifts this year!" —Annetastic
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in four colors).
15. An in-flight foot hammock — trust me, you're gonna want to try this. Just hang it on the arms of your tray table and rest your feet on the cushion for some relieving elevation. Many reviewers (especially those on the shorter side!) say it's helped them prevent soreness and swelling on long flights.
Promising review: "I will never fly again without this. I've recommended it to everyone. East coast USA to South East Asia, 24 hours in long haul flights each way with serious low back pain condition to start. But being able to hang my legs, even in a sideways position, saved me from hours of pain that I have endured previously flying with economy leg room. So easy to loop over tray table brackets in both the stowed and open position. This is a must have for any flight." —DL Flin
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in multipacks).
16. A super easy-to-use (and super cute) Tonymoly octopus-shaped blackhead remover that will become your nose's best friend. Just scrub it over your nose and watch as it gently exfoliates and removes excess sebum, blackheads, and other impurities. Bye bye, pore strips!
Promising reviews: "This is hands down the best exfoliator I have ever had. It’s small so I was concerned but I exfoliate my face twice a week and it’s been a couple of months but there’s still plenty left. 10/10 buy it now!" —Mars
"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 me." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
17. A popular long-lasting eyeliner stamp so that the nemesis of your makeup routine is no longer such a hard step. Say goodbye to wasting all your cotton balls (and all those extra minutes you could've used making your coffee) on failed attempts at a flawless eyeliner flick. This stamp will do it for you!
One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye.
The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty.
Promising review: "Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before and they were so watery and not close to a dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 am, traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" —Elizabeth
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).
18. A crack weeder tool if you're tired of those persistent weeds that manage to grow through the cracks in concrete to major eyesores (no really, I wish I was as resilient as them). This sturdy tool can get into those tight spaces and get rid of weeds, moss, and thistles in a snap.
Promising review: "I've been searching for something to remove the weeds for a while and came across this amazing tool. Since I refuse to use chemicals in my yard, I've been left with scraped knuckles every time I attempt to remove weeds. The weeds have grown so tightly in the concrete cracks that I pretty much gave up; even weed-whacking it didn't help much. Yes, you do have to use a little bit of effort, but the end result was so worth it!" —Shelley Arakaki
Get it from Amazon for $22.95.
19. A fan-fave detangling hair brush that reviewers say goes through their wet, tangled hair like ~butter~ without tugging or taking half of your hair with it! Its soft, flexible bristles combined with its flex spiral design are made to gently separate your locks instead of pulling them out.
Promising review: "This does not feel like brushing your hair. It feels like someone is petting you, and feels good. This will never pull or hurt you. It just brushes your hair and gets all the tangles out. Brushes have been around forever, but this is the perfect one. The one we've been trying to perfect all these years. I promise you'll love it. It's also great for kids because it will never hurt and always feels good." —Johann Mitchell
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).
20. An adjustable phone stand so that you can catch up on some Netflix while scrolling the seemingly endless stack of emails in your inbox. Plus, it keeps the charging port unobstructed so that you can FaceTime your mom hands-free while charging your phone (because, let's be honest, you're probably low on battery after that TikTok scrolling session).
Promising reviews: "I love it. I use my phone for conference calls (wfh), and I don't know how I lived with out this. It's sturdy and keeps the cord out of the way. It's right there in my face so I can mute while on work calls or just see notifications at a glance. Highly recommend." —Cyndie L. Tozzo
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).
21. A K-beauty Elizabeth Mott eye primer because it'll make the eyeshadow look you created 10 hours ago look like it's only been 10 minutes. It helps keep your eyeshadow from wearing off, smudging, or creasing, and enhances your eyeshadow's color and vibrance!
Promising review: "So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high end to low...they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. Using this primer, shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I was lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" —Melissa Mae
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
22. And an Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later face primer — the little potion you'll be thanking at the end of a long day when you're makeup *still* looks bomb AF. This pore-minimizing miracle worker (with SPF 30!) helps blur your pores, gives you a ~velvety complexion~, and locks your look in place so that it doesn't move or shift around. Reviewers say it absorbs well, foundation glided over it, and it made their full face stand up to summer heat! Plus, it comes in four problem-solving formulas.
Elizabeth Mott is a Korean American, woman-owned biz!
Promising reviews: "I wore this primer under my foundation (Nars and Maybelline Fit Me) along with setting spray (Nyx) in this photo [above right]. I had been dunked in the pool two times and went down a giant slide that caused you to go under water three times. This was the result of my makeup! Love this product. A little goes a long way!" —Ryan Brooks
"I have extremely sensitive, acne prone skin. I realized the makeup I was previously using was breaking me out so I threw it away and purchased this primer with a powder foundation from another brand. THIS PRIMER THOUGH!! I hated the powder foundation I purchased and got rid of that too, but this stays. I use this as my foundation now! It comes out green but blends into your face quickly. It covers my redness and uneven skin tone, but my freckles can still be seen. It makes my face look almost flawless, hydrated, and clear. This blew me away. I've already been suggesting it to friends and I will continue to buy this over and over again." —Lucy
Get it from Amazon for $19.10+ (available in four formulas and in a bundle).
23. An under-cabinet lid opener, because challenging yourself to open that jar of olives is all fun and games until it becomes a household competition and things get aggressive. Don't worry, this compact little tool will help you out *and* save you lots of wrist strain.
EZ Off Store is a small business that created this genius product. This little gadget can not only open jars, but also other hard lids (like on plastic bottles). Just put it in the corner and twist for easy opening.
Promising review: "This is a cool kitchen gadget. I was browsing and came across this EZ off-jar opener and ordered one right away. My hands aren't as strong as they used to be, and sometimes it is impossible to get a jar open, especially bottled water. This was very easy to install and has been used ever since. Even my grandson can use it. Works on almost all jar/bottle sizes. I even ordered two more and gave them to my sisters." —Eric K.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

24. A foldable Magic Mushroom funnel that adds a touch of whimsy to the mundane task of transferring liquids into a different container. Now you can transfer oily liquids into containers with thin necks or shimmy freshly ground coffee into a canister in a very *un*messy way with ease and style.
To use it, just flip it inside out and stick the "stem" through your container's opening. Plus, it's dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It’s beyond cute and really great quality. I’m always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don’t want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can’t get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" —Abbey Klem
Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (available in two sizes).
25. A patented pet hair remover to pick up all your dog's (and your!) hair as you roll it across any surface, and it stows it away in the roller itself! It's a fan fave and requires no adhesives, sticky tape, or batteries to clean up after your furry family member. Seriously, this deserves ALL the rounds of appaws.
Promising review: "This is the best thing I have bought on Amazon to date. I have always tried to lint roll comforters and furniture when guests come and/or stay. Finding this gadget has made that task SO much easier and more productive! Put this guy in your cart. Yep." —Kelsey Funk
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four colors).
26. A memory foam knee pillow that reviewers who are side sleepers, pregnant, or suffer from sciatica swear by. This pillow cushions your knees away from each other to help create a more supportive foundation and relieve pain and pressure from your hips, legs, and lower back. No more long nights of tossing and turning with that flimsy pillow between your thighs!
Promising review: "This pillow is magic! If you are on the fence about buying this pillow, just buy it now. I am recovering from a compression fracture to my lower spine. I cannot explain how much of a difference in my sleep and comfort this little pillow has made for me. I'm so glad I made this purchase. Life changing!!" —janine c.
Get it from Amazon for $32.99.
27. An aesthetically pleasing bottle scrub brush made of coconut fibers to create an actual deep clean for all your water bottles and glassware *without* abrasion.
Just hang to dry between uses, and clean with vinegar when needed.

Get it from Me Mother Earth on Etsy for $7.99.
28. A Baby Buddy Secure-a-Toy — an adjustable strap that keeps your toddler's pacifier, teether, or small toy within their reach while keeping it from being dropped on the floor! This diaper bag must-have features an effortless snap attachment and adjustable safety straps and comes in 18 styles, so you can pick it in your favorite color!
Promising review: "I bought these for a recent trip with my ten month old daughter. I attached baby's toys to her carseat with these straps, and every time she threw the toy, I was so glad it was attached so I didn't have to obsessively wipe and clean toys dropped on the ground. The clasps are pretty sturdy, so they held heavier toys pretty well. And I love that it is adjustable, so you can lengthen or shorten the strap as needed. Definitely recommend." —VeeJay
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in 17 colors packs).
29. A thermally insulated Stanley tumbler carrier bag if you're determined to stay hydrated but you're tired of lugging around your water bottle and your personal bag — this lets you combine them! You can stash your phone, cash, keys, and cards, and it even comes with a straw cover and a locking carabiner if you want to attach it to your backpack. It also protects your beloved Stanley from getting scratched or dented when you drop it (and being heard from across the country). Perfect for hiking, camping, going to the gym, or for a day at an amusement park!
Promising review: "Absolutely love this water bottle carrier bag for my Stanley tumbler! The added phone pocket is such a convenient bonus, allowing me to keep my essentials together while hiking, traveling, or camping. The adjustable strap ensures a comfortable fit, and the straw cover keeps my drink clean and accessible. It's sturdy, well-made, and exactly what I needed for outdoor adventures. Highly recommend." —GG
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
30. A gel toilet-cleaning stamp for when cleaning the toilet gets a little 🤢 disgusting. With these gel discs, all you gotta do is stamp one under the rim of your toilet bowl, and it'll help you keep that limescale and those dreaded toilet rings away. No touching or scrubbing any part of it! Just continuous, flush-activated freshness that lasts up to 12 days.
Each stamp lasts for around 12 days!
Promising review: "I love these things and I'm not going to do without them ever again! I have terribly hard water which leaves orange stains in my toilet after just a few days. Once I got the limescale removed (I suggest a toilet pumice stone), I started using one of these about every seven or eight days. It has a nice light scent and the limescale absolutely has not returned!" —Karen Ryan
Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.26.
31. A pack of bedsheet suspenders because having to tuck all four corners of your fitted sheet back into your mattress by yourself is truly a humbling experience. These bands act like suspenders for your mattress so that your fitted sheet finally stops popping off in the middle of the night.
Promising review: "These are definitely worth the price. My significant other and I apparently run marathons in our sleep, so the fitted sheet and mattress pad came off the bed without fail. We own a double pillow-top mattress and they haven't stretched out while holding a fitted sheet, (that shrunk in the wash), plus two mattress pads. They hold them firmly to the bed with no slipping. No damage has been done to the sheets, either." —Michelle K
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes and three colors).
32. A touch-up razor and dermaplaning tool you'll need next time you want to quickly shape your brows or remove any of those other fine facial hairs that you just don't have the time or patience to pluck out one by one. Have no fear — it's super gentle and painless!
It comes with a precision cover to help you shape your brows to the exact shape you want. Or leave them just how they are. Remember, removing facial hair (or any hair) is optional, not necessary!
Promising review: "Took me a little while to figure out the right angle to use this effectively but once I did it worked like a charm. I’ve used it for shaping eyebrows and managing the little bit of blonde peach fuzz I have on my upper lip. I haven’t tried it anywhere else but no bad reactions or pain, and relatively easy to maneuver with a bit of practice." —Kelly G.
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in a pack of nine).
33. A luggage drink caddy for anyone who considers their iced drink an airport essential on a hot, stressful day. This sticks right on top of your wheeled luggage and has two pockets so that you can place your phone, snacks, and most importantly your iced green tea to power you through until you're *finally* seated on the plane!
Reviewers say it's ideal for a suitcase that can roll on four wheels! If you have a suitcase that has to tilt while it rolls, just be careful if the drinks are open at the top.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 27 colors and patterns).
34. A pair of charcoal shoe deodorizers to stick into your shoes (or really, anything) if they're in need of some serious ~odor relief~. They also last up to two years, so that, uh...cheese smell has a hard time coming back. 👋
You can reuse them for up to two years! Set them out in the sun for an hour to re-activate the charcoal.
Promising review: "I have a pair of black leather flats that stank so badly my husband would yell at me if I took them off anywhere near him. But I love the shoes!!! So, I had to find something to make the stench go away without leaving me with an allergic reaction. This was the answer. I honestly couldn’t believe it. A few days after placing them in my prized off shoes I took a whiff from about a foot away. Nothing. I got closer. Nothing. I stuck my nose practically in the shoe. OK, maybe that’s pushing things, but I’ve got to tell you that 95% of the broken-in leather grossness was gone. So happy!!!" —Erin

35. A purse organizer insert that Mary Poppins could've used. Easily slide it into any bag, whether it's from Prada or Amazon, and it'll give you instant pockets to help you organize your life. And bonus! When it's time to switch out your purse, all you have to do is slide the organizer out and pop it in with all your stuff ready to go.
Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that).
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this item!!! I love it so much I bought it again, in a different color, for another bag. It keeps your handbag clean, organized and maintains its value!!! They fit perfectly inside all of my bags, and when I want to keep the same color organizer, all I have to do is lift it up and place it in another bag. It already has everything I need and I don’t have to reorganize!!! If you like to keep your handbags clean and organized this is the BEST invention ever!!!" —Jamie R.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors).
36. A money-saving Bluapple freshness ball — all you gotta do is place it next to your fruits and veggies, and they should last *much* longer than their current three-day lifespan.
Just refill the Bluapple with a new packet every three months. Refill kits available.
Promising review: "These do seem to work, extending the life of my fruits and vegetables up to a week longer. Change the packet inside on schedule. I shake them occasionally and make sure that no produce is covering the top holes. I bought more for family/friends when I told them about it.

37. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount to use with your tray table, chair arm, luggage handle, or really any flat surface! They can dare to delay your flight again — you'll just sit back and sip your matcha latte as you commence your annual Sex And The City binge-watch and block out the busy buzz of the airport.

Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multileg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards, and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid, and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

38. A deeply nourishing Hanalei lip treatment enriched with Hawaiian kukui nut oil — rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, C, and E — and shea butter to help relieve dryness and restore hydration. It's also got antioxidant-rich agave nectar and grape seed oil to help soothe and protect your lips. Say aloha to kissers so soft and silky that it made this reviewer feel like they stumbled upon "literal lip magic."
Promising review: "I feel like I stumbled upon literal lip magic. Part of me wants to keep it to myself so it never gets sold out. It has a soft vanilla fragrance and is so incredibly moisturizing. It feels feather-light on the lips and has a beautifully subtle gloss (none of that “glitter” or “shimmer,” just a lovely shine). Not only does it feel nourishing my lips, but it’s also a protective layer against the elements (winter, arid climate, etc). I think it’s waterproof? And it doesn’t melt in my car! Please never let it go away! It’s perfect." —S. Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $13.05+ (available in five formulas).
39. A roll-on blister-preventing balm so that putting adhesive bandages on the blisters on your feet at the end of long walks or hikes becomes a thing of the past. This balm magically becomes an extra layer of protection between your skin and your shoe so that you can continue exploring new landmarks worry-free.
40. A compact knife sharpener that'll have you choppin' and slicin' your veggies like Colette in that one Ratatouille scene. Not only will this save you lots of time when prepping your ingredients, but it'll also extend the durability of your knives.
This teeny-tiny knife sharpener features two slots with carbide blades on one side to provide quick edge setting capabilities, and ceramic rods on the other for the final edge honing. Plus, there is a nonslip base for added stability and control.
Promising review: "I was about to buy a new set of knives until I saw this on TikTok. Works perfectly." —D’Sons&co.

41. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher because it transforms *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up, you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Guess there's nothing left to do but buy it for every single switch in your home. 🤷♀️
Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

42. A sleek and chic marble wine chiller bucket so that every sip of vino is delightfully chilled from the first to the last. Plus, its beautiful marble design only enhances the ~aesthetics~.
Promising review: "I like my red wines chilled at bit and was always bummed as it slowly warmed as it sat on the table near me. I bought this marble chiller in the hopes of extending the length of coolness and I was very pleased with the result. It's real marble, so it's quite heavy and solid. I set this chiller on the table next to me, open my bottle, and set it inside. I'll place my wine pump/aerator in the bottle and then I don't even have to pick up the bottle to pour! The chiller stays nicely cool for the duration of the bottle. I liked it so much, I bought one for my fellow wino-sister-in-law. She loves hers too and bought a second one for herself so she can rotate them in the fridge for those multi-bottle nights!" —Kacey B

43. A spaghetti measure because having to guess pasta portions is a thing of the past. This lets you achieve the *ultimate* spaghetti-to-meatball ratio!

44. A BPA-, PVC-, lead-, and phthalate-free no-spill food pouch top you can attach to your kiddo's favorite food pouch to prevent spills (and to help you avoid having to give them what would be their *third* bath of the day). It also acts as a soft layer that protects their tender gums from hard plastic. It even comes with an airtight cap for on-the-go or refrigerator storage!
Promising review: "Buy this already!! Before buying these, I can't tell you how many times my kid squirted an entire pouch onto the floor before I noticed. Now I never have to worry about pouch foods getting everywhere! This thing is a lifesaver! I introduced it to a friend and she bought some for daycare too. Great product! Will be buying for friends' baby showers for sure, because this is a product you don't know you need til it's too late" —Jaimie

Promising review: "Love! Love! Love it! Very sturdy grip, and fashionable! I have had skin cancer numerous times, including melanoma. This is a must-have to keep me safe and fashionable — vacation or otherwise. I have thrown it in the overhead on a plane or shuffled through crowded venues, prior to COVID-19, and never lost my hat. This is a great gift, first to myself, and now to others! Thank you for keeping me safe and on point at an affordable price!" —Emily K.

46. A mini vacuum cleaner that proves cleaning products can be cute *and* functional. You can use it to clean your table after you've eaten your breakfast bagel like it was the last bagel on earth or suck up the rebellious coffee grounds that somehow wind up all over your countertops.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Heather Braga says about it: "I have one of these little gadgets and it's fantastic! I use it to clean up rogue crumbs off of my table cloth at the end of the day or after a particularly crumb-filled meal. My husband uses it to clean coffee particles off of our counters where he grinds his espresso beans. It's a handy lil' thing and so easy to use."
Promising review: "If your child is hard on their pencil eraser, then this is perfect for you!!! Every day my daughter’s desk is covered with eraser scrapes, pencil lead etc. I saw this on TikTok and got her this as a joke but it ended up being amazing. With a swipe across her desk, it’s all gone and I don’t have to clean it up." —TrendyInIndy

It comes with an adjustable nozzle attachment, USB charging cable, and cover.
Promising review: "This little vac is amazing! Not only is it pretty and looks like a bladeless fan sitting in my bathroom instead of a vac, it really works! Has two speeds, and I haven’t had to use its high speed yet. Thinking of ordering another one in white. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
