A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. If a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes..
.it's essentially just a wet cabinet. Promising reviews: "I had tried lots of white vinegar for two cycles in my 20-year-old dishwasher for the cloudy and powdery dinginess it had started making, and it only helped about 30%.
We have very hard water. These tablets zapped the buildup, and my glass is clear again, and colored plastics no longer have the powder-like coating. So glad I took a chance on this!" — J.
Holden Get six tablets from Amazon for $7.99 . 3.
Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors. Promising review: "Takes away that gross smell. It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch.
I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through.
Went back to this tried and true." — KS Get it from Amazon for $3.67 .

Literally cleans everything with a spray. I have hard water at my place, and soap scum buildup is quite bad in my bathtub and shower glass doors. With this Powerwash, I just spray, wait a couple of minutes, and wipe, and literally all the soap scrum is completely gone.
I am left with spotless shower glass doors AND shiny faucets. I spray this stuff on everything that is hard to clean. Sticky stuff like stickers and labels? Spray, wait, wipe.
Poof, it's gone. Sticky stuff like food residue on dishes or your oven? Oil on top of or around your stove and/or cabinet? Spray, wait, wipe. Poof, it's gone.
Soap scrum, yellow tubs, oily tools, spotty hand prints on the fridge? Say no more. Spray, wait, wipe. Poof, it's gone.

6. A bottle of natural nail and cuticle repair oil that'll help soften cuticles and strengthen your nails when used daily. Promising review: "It's a miracle! I had peeling, weak nails for years.
Tried everything. A friend recommended a nail strengthener they saw on QVC. It was quite pricey, and I wanted to make sure it was worth it, so I read the reviews.
One of the comments said to just buy Solar Oil. Since it was much more affordable than the QVC stuff, I tried it. I bought it in February.
This bottle size lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out, and my nails were getting stronger every day .
I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough! " — Diana Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 7.

8. A pair of reusable nipple pasties for those 'fits you just don't wanna wear an uncomfortable bra with. These have thin edges that don't appear under clothing and use a medical-grade adhesive that's gentle on skin.
Promising review: "So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real).
I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever.

. Promising review: " HOW HAVE I LIVED WITHOUT THIS PRODUCT, OH MY GOD. I have a big Great Dane/pit bull mix with black and white fur that gets everywhere and sticks like the devil.
I’ve tried fancy vacuums, lint rollers, that weird yellow sponge thing that’s supposed to be magic, crawling on my hands and knees, plucking each hair one by one, but nothing works. UNTIL NOW. I cannot believe my own eyes, and I can’t wait to use this thing on every surface of the house and buy one for every dog owner I know.
Seriously. I have a very clean home, and I can’t believe how much hair I’ve been living within my rugs. It’s disgusting.
This product is worth every dang penny." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).

On day Two, it was significantly smaller in width and circumference! If that doesn't help you decide to purchase this, nothing will." — Cassee Colson Get 36 patches from Amazon for $11.97 .

Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions). Immediately after use, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later, the bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but it is a small price to pay, IMO.
Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" — Rebecca Get it from Amazon for $9.95 + (available in four colors and in multiple sets).
14. A wireless transmitter because now you can use your wireless headphones anywhere there's a headphone jack. Easily watch movies while you're on the plane!

I just recently flew and used this for in-flight entertainment and did not have one issue. I also use these in the gym while connected to my iPhone for music. And I plan to use them on my PC at work for meetings.

Promising review: "I was looking for something to deal with my chronic and debilitating sciatic nerve pain.
I saw someone use a similar device at my gym and decided to give it a shot. It has been short of a miracle. I have been using it daily after work when I am most stressed, and along with gentle stretches, it has helped SO much.
This one was fairly priced, the size is perfect for me to carry it in my bag after long car rides, and there are different speeds, which I also like. I'm really happy with it. My husband is too.

A set of affordable noise-reducing wireless Bluetooth earbuds that are water-resistant so you can sweat it up on your next solo park run without worrying about ruining your music-listening experience. Or, sit under a tree and listen to your favorite podcast without the sounds of children playing and people talking invading your ears. These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 45 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for 10 hours with each full charge).
Promising review: "Five stars all the way around! I love everything about these earbuds! One of the best features about these is NO CORDS!! I have really long, thick hair, and my previous Bluetooth earbuds were good but had the wire connecting them, and it was constantly getting in the way or tangled in my hair, so it's SUPER nice not to have to fight my hair or shirt with these earbuds. They look nice, the case is great, they are very comfortable to wear, and the sound quality is fantastic. I can really hear the bass! I like that I can use the earbuds separately as I wear them at work for background music and get a full day out of the batteries by swapping them.
I have used them for a couple of calls, and the person on the other end had no issues hearing me or with background noise, so that's a definite win! The noise cancellation is great, maybe too good; even if I pause my music when talking to someone, I still sometimes have to take the bud out to be able to hear them properly, but it's not a big deal. It's great to drown everyone else out at the gym. My boyfriend was super impressed with them as well when I let him listen.
He guessed they were double the price. I am very happy with this purchase! " — Elizabeth Good Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two styles and five colors).
21. A pack of teeth-whitening pens for getting rid of coffee and wine stains for far less money than you might've thought. This pen's soft-bristle brush is perfect for anyone with sensitive teeth.
It even makes application as easy as saying CHEESE! Promising review: "I was hesitant to try a new teeth-whitening product after using harsh whitening strips that caused pain and lingering sensitivity. But, as a coffee and red wine drinker, I wanted to find a solution. This teeth-whitening pen is terrific.
Easy to use, works well, and does not have the downside of either the strips or the $450 option at the dentist . I also really love this product since whitening my front teeth is the objective. It is a great value as I anticipate the two pens that are included will last one year.
I will definitely buy this again and am very happy to recommend it." — Rebecca Shehee Get it from Amazon for $18.95 .
22. A pack of K-Cup cleaners if you haven't cleaned your machine in awhile and your coffee hasn't been tasting quite like coffee lately. Pop one of these nontoxic cups into your Keurig to give it the deep clean it's been needing.

I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results..

Shower curtain rings with separate hangers for your curtain and liner that will make taking them down and switching them out so much faster and easier. Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn’t know you needed, and once you get it, you can’t help but wonder how you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for multiple shower curtains.
I know you’re like, ‘It’s just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life.
No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." — Nardsbaby Get it from Amazon for $6.

After wasting time and energy on wadding problems, Cyndi Bray invented Wad-Free for bedsheets. Promising review: "I was mildly skeptical, but it works exactly as promoted! I've used it five times, and each time, there's been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases balled up and still wet when the dryer goes off.
It's super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the fitted sheet, so I don't have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these as gifts. LOVE it! " — Amazon Customer Get it from Wad-Free on Amazon for $19.
99 . 28. A small reusable ball with a sticky insert that'll keep dirt and crumbs from littering the bottom of your purse.

I have four large dogs, and we have fur EVERYWHERE! This works so, so well! I am always amazed at what this picks up, even after I just ran the vacuum. If you remove the head from the handle you can use the head to do in all the crevices along baseboards where fur gets trapped on the carpets. I also use it that way to do the carpet corners on the stairs.
Lastly, I use it to get dust and cobwebs off the floors and ceilings. It truly is a super tool." — Roseann Get it from Amazon for $15.

It even comes with a wire ball you can drop inside so you can mix your batter without having to take out and clean any appliances. Promising review: "If you’re thinking of buying this item, DO IT! I originally purchased it because I was tired of scooping my batter with a measuring cup, dripping along the way, just to have oblong-shaped pancakes.
This thing makes the perfect round cakes with no mess! I was skeptical about it holding as much batter as we usually use, enough for four people. But it was perfect when we doubled the original recipe! It has a built-in stand when you add your ingredients through the bottom, and cleanup is a breeze." — Michelle W.
