1. A cult-favorite box of Mighty Patch Original hydrocolloid patches with 106,000+ 5-star ratings so you can take on breakouts by simply popping on the patch. WHAM! They'll go right to work on sucking all that gunk out of your pimples.
Promising review: "So I won't show you any of the gory details, but man, do these things work. I don't wear makeup, so it's perfect for just covering it up to go out because it's almost exactly my skin color. More than that, wearing it at night takes away most of the bump by the time I wake up. I will say that these are more for that specific annoying acne that is huge and that you have to pop, which only makes it bigger. But it's amazing; it might take a couple of days, but it helps acne return to normal-looking faster. Update: Here are the gory details. The back acne is real." —Rebecca Gabriela Terrones
Get a pack of 36 dots from Amazon for $10.77.
2. A set of adjustable dumbbells that can weigh between 2.5 and 15 pounds. These ensure that you can dial in the exact amount of weight you want, and prevent your spare room from becoming a storage facility for one million weights.
3. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner because if you smell a foul odor coming from your kitchen, there's a good chance it's coming from your disposal. Simply drop one of these cleaners in your sink, turn on the disposal, and voilà! No more stank.
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica House
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.61.
4. An easily washable drip catcher so that after hand-washing the dishes, you don't have to do another entire cleanup routine on the counter around the sink. Have you ever tried to get a sponge around a faucet? It's not fun.
Hustle & Sew is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina
Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and five colors).
5. An Avocado Green Mattress City Bed Frame whose quick, tool-free assembly and astounding sturdiness are two big, juicy cherries on top of looking top-notch. I would know. I assembled this thing by myself, sleep on it every night, and think it totally completed the look of my teeny-tiny studio apartment.
6. A best-selling Revlon oil-absorbing face roller that's a handy-dandy way to get rid of oil and shine. It's also washable and reusable, which is great news for the planet, your wallet, and your skin.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $10.02.
7. A Tushy bidet attachment to give your booty a spa-like experience whenever you go number two. As someone who's made the leap to being a bidet user, I feel that I must look you in the eye and earnestly tell you it's the only way to live.
The Tushy is sooooo easy to install, I pinky promise you can do it. It comes with easy to understand instructions and took me maybe five minutes, ten max. It's the best-looking bidet attachment out of there (I went with the cute blue color) and I've never had any issues with it. What can I say? It sprays my butt with water, and then my butt is clean. A+!
Promising review: "Life changing. If I have to drop a number and there is no Tushy, I’ll just hold it and race home. There is no going back to the pre-bidet life. Only an ignorant miscreant would advocate for toilet paper." —Zachary R
Get it from Amazon for $114.95 or Tushy for $109 (originally $139, available in 10 colors).
8. A leave-in conditioner created for kids and formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates for making detangling after bath time less harrowing all around. Oh, how the brush will flow! Oh, how your little one's curls will shine!
Promising review: "This stuff is beyond 5 stars. I initially bought this for my son who is tender-headed. I have really curly hair and happened to break my ankle and was in the hospital for two weeks and couldn't wash and condition my hair like I do at home. I had what felt like dreadlocks in three places! I was hoping this would work on my hair and it was amazing! I completely soaked my hair with this stuff, waited a little while, and gently combed through it. I absolutely cannot believe how well it worked!!" —Bea
Get it from Amazon for $7.59.
9. An easy-to-use Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pen whose soft-bristle brushes even work for folks with sensitive teeth. It's recommended that you treat twice a day for the first seven days of use, but it'll be good to have some on-hand for any touch-ups. That black coffee isn't going to start drinking itself!
You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.
Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.
10. A Calpak Luka Duffel, which is by far my favorite travel bag. I did three weeks in Europe with *just* this bad boy, and it handled beautifully. Its best quality? It's the exact dimensions needed to count as an under-seat "personal item" on a plane, which is a game changer for booking cheap flights and traveling light. Oh, also the separate shoe compartment.
11. A CamelBak Horizon camp mug whose double-wall vacuum-insulated construction has a single-minded focus on keeping your hot beverages hot. I have this mug and can confirm: the slider lid is ACTUALLY leakproof. I let this rattle around in a backpack and my laptop has lived to tell the tale.
12. A tube of Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen that's also a killer makeup primer, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays without ruining the look you worked so hard on. Looking for a little more glow? Try the aptly named Glow Screen that layers beautifully under foundation and tinted moisturizer.
13. A reusable cleaning ball that picks up all the dirt and debris that somehow finds itself in the bottom of your purse. All you gotta do is just rattle it around in there.
Promising review: "This little ball is genius! It rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. It's easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse, this a must-have!!" —dj3biggs
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
14. An insulated soundproofing strip so you can turn your music up a little louder without all of your roommates turning on you. 🎶 You've got a fassst car... 🎶
It *also* keeps cool air in your room!
Promising review: "Product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation. I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference; it took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Hernandez
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in two lengths and four colors).
15. An adjustable sports bra for providing you with a wealth of support — especially during runs or HIIT workouts — in either a crossback or regular style. It's up to you!
16. Or a splurge-worthy Power Bra from Forme whose unique construction helps to gently pull your shoulders back, improving your posture during workouts, and regular life. I wear this to hot yoga, where I sweat buckets, and its moisture-wicking really helps keep me dry (and looks great, tbh).
17. A top-rated face and body oil to help you say bye-bye to uneven skin, stretch marks, and acne scars. It helps your body retain moisture (see ya later, dryness!) and absorbs into the skin fast so you won't feel greasy.
Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen!
Promising review: "If you have sensitive, dry skin or rosacea, this is the product for you! I’ve been using this product for two years now, and I’m obsessed. I use it for uneven skin tone and dry skin. It’s super light, smells good, and never irritates my face. I recently had a massive dry skin rosacea outbreak and used this three times a day, and it went away in two days!" —Beatrice
Get it from Amazon for $10.26.
18. A pack of Affresh dishwasher tablets because — *BREAKING NEWS* — your dishwasher can be dirty! Ensure your dishes are getting the royal treatment with this easy solution.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and dishes just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then, I saw a product test review for Affresh. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine per the instructions and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully every month, as recommended. I can even put it on my subscribe and save order so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" —Sheila
Get them from Amazon for $8.54.
19. An adorable octopus-shaped blackhead remover who will happily scrub your most stubborn zits away a few days a week. What a helpful lad!
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me and 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 $11.88.
20. An automatic bleach cleaning system to treat your toilet to a mini clean with every flush. Subtext: more time between the dreaded Big Scrubs.
It's super quick to install, and one cartridge can last up to three months!
Promising review: "Whoever invented this product was a genius! I wish I knew about this years ago! It's definitely not a 1-minute install unless you've done it before or are familiar with toilets, but the instructions have very clear pictures and directions, and it is easy to figure out. The smell is barely noticeable, unlike some of the other toilet products that burn your nostrils with a blast of chemicals. My toilet feels much more hygienic now. I love this product, and will definitely be ordering refills." —C. S.
Get it from Amazon for $19.27.
21. A conveniently foldable over-the-sink drying rack so you can finally get that slightly rusty monstrosity of a wire dish rack off your countertop for good.
Promising review: "Drain-washed fruit on top and dried pots and pans. I love that it rolls up and hides away under the sink. So much better than what we had, and I like it better than the big metal drying racks that you always see even when not using." —maryconlin
Get it from Food52 for $45 (available in three colors).
22. A set of dip clips that attach right to your car's air vent to hold takeout sauce containers so you can finally dip with ease during long road trips.
They'll fit onto horizontal or vertical air vents *and* can hold sauce packs from all popular fast food chains!
Promising review: "I love this in my car! It stays in place and lets me do all the dipping I want while I drive without making a mess." —krystie
Get two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors).
23. A Sunyear camping hammock with a bug net so you can enjoy the freedom of sleeping in a hammock without feeling too exposed. Absolutely worth trying if traditional camp sleep systems are a no-go for your back.
The net isn't removable but if you choose not to use it, you can flip it to the underside while in use.
Promising review: "We recently took two of these camping, and they worked well. Hammock sleeping takes some getting used to. They are initially comfy but, depending on how you set it up, your legs can end up high which caused me to wake up a few times to adjust my sleeping position. The mosquito netting is a great addition. Be careful getting into the hammock as one of the lines we used to hold up the netting was caught in our hand and snapped when the full weight of your body was applied. It's not really a product flaw, you just have to make sure you are only putting your weight on the sleeping surface and not the netting when getting in. Common sense really, just something to watch for." —Tony
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes and 15 color combos).
24. A starter stack of super portable makeup essentials that makes it easy to bring your go-to products with you in one convenient little tower. Doing your makeup when you get to work or in the car before going out just got so much easier.
Subtl Beauty is a small biz that aims to simplify your beauty routine with compact, stackable, easy-to-use makeup items.
The kit includes a shine control powder, highlighter, bronzer, lip cheek, and a concealer in your chosen shade, and will serve you about 60 uses. It also has a shade finder to help you find your perf concealer shade! The items are gluten-, fragrance-, paraben-, and cruelty-free,
Promising review: "Being a mommy to three kids under 11 while working full time as a paramedic….I LOVE THIS! I can quite literally get my kids ready in the mornings and do my makeup in the car. It shortens my routine by quite a few minutes (which means a lot to me)! I like a more natural and not a caked-on makeup look that can last a 12-hour shift, and the Subtl stack gives me that!" —Jessica W.
Get it from Subtl Beauty for $60 (originally $70; available in 19 concealer shades).
25. An ultra-thin electrical outlet cover for anyone whose apartment's only good spot for a couch is riiiight up against an essential outlet. Now, you can squeeze it close to the wall while this three-plug extension cord maintains your access to electricity.
26. An impressive stainless-steel soap bar so you can easily wash away the lingering smell of garlic and onions after chopping. And unlike a regular bar of soap, it will never erode away into a tiny ball of mush. This thing is sticking around.
27. A stylish cat cushion shaped like a little nest that your feline will love curling up in. They *do* have a penchant for getting in little nooks and crannies, and this bed takes advantage of that.
Jackson Cunningham founded his small business, Tuft + Paw, in 2016 after adopting a cat from a local rescue. He started Tuft + Paw to create quality cat-first furniture, which he felt was missing from the market. Tuft + Paw also offers a 50% discount if you purchase and donate any of their products to a shelter.
Get it from Tuft + Paw for $99+ (available in two sizes and as a bundle).
28. A hair finishing stick so you can whisk stray hairs up, up, and away with just the flick of a wrist.
Promising review: "No matter what I do or what expensive and high-rated product I try, my flyaways are an annoying constant. This product has completely rid me of my daily top-of-head flyaway frizz! I wish I would have discovered this product years ago! It smoothes my hair out and truly lasts all day. Be careful, as a tiny bit goes a long way!" —RachelOK
Get it from Amazon for $6.88.
29. A cooling towel to help regulate your temp. Get them wet, wring them out, and they chill right away, ready to be placed on your head, neck, or anywhere else that needs a quick cool-down.
Promising review: "I am so in love with these, I mostly use them for running, etc. I use them at night a lot because I’m going through menopause. It has been a miracle for me; I’ve tried all kinds of supplements, and they help, but this actually works better for me. Also had a virus and used one to cool me down and help with fever. So they have so many uses, I suggest that everyone get these!" —Annette Looper
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five color combos).
30. A pair of comfortable tie-dye thigh-high stockings that have a no-slip grip at the top, ensuring they stay right where you want them all day long. New accessory unlocked.
Kixies is a woman-founded small biz inspired by a desire to not be crammed into a pair of tights. Relatable! This brand makes stockings with a triple band no-slip grip so you won't be tugging them up all day like other thigh-highs you've tried in the past.
Get them from Kixies for $10 (originally $29.99; available in sizes A–D).
31. A pack of rapid-fill water balloons to make one of the most fun summertime activities easier to prepare. Filling up lots of balloons at once > filling up hundreds of impossibly small balloons one by one.
Promising review: "These are SO cool!! Super easy to use and fill up. Fun for hours for the kids. The worst part was cleanup because there were so many. My son is begging me to get some more of these. All you do is attach the nozzle to a hose and the balloons fill up, seal off, and drop off all by themselves. No tying or trying to squeeze them over anything." —Amanda B.
Get 350 balloons from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three color combos or a bigger set).
