And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer.
I was using a whole shelf and a half for jumbled tea boxes which I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" — Sarah C.

A four-slice retro toaster in a lovely mint color to complete your vintage kitchen look. The extra-wide slots ensure even your extra-thick bagels can fit. Promising review : "Is it possible.
..a toaster can be.
..this sexy? Yes.
Absolutely yes. This sexy toaster fit right in my farmhouse-style kitchen with its cool mint-green color and retro vibes. Pros: four slots, and they are the wide-and-long type, meaning those fancier breads fit without squishing the sides of your slice.
It has a bagel setting, as well as a nifty reheat button so your toast doesn't get burnt or overly crispy if you aren't hovering over it and miss it pop up and have to retoast it. It is fairly easy to clean, just dump the tray, so no worries about crumbs or bits of bread burning in the bottom and ruining the perfect taste of your slice. The knobs have a neat texture and are adjustable so you can time it just right for Pop Tarts, toast, or toasted sandwich bread.
Cons: My husband is a little jealous of how much I love this toaster, and has been asking me if it is better than him. What could I say? I mean it makes TOAST, all he makes is methane gas so..
. Maybe consider ordering a couples therapy workbook to go with this toaster when purchasing." — Alice R.

What a delightful surprise! Promising review: "Love these candles! Don't be deterred by the candles out the box, though they are mostly white on the outside there are lots of primary color pockets on the inside. They do take a while to burn (three to four hours by my count) but the results are by far worth being patient for. As the flame works through the candle, the primary color pockets blend with the white as well as with each other to create a wide range of colors.
..I've seen yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, greens, and blues on my finished bottles.

An egg cooker so you can stop settling for overcooked hardboiled eggs with gross gray yolks. You deserve better. Along with hardboiled eggs, this baby can make omelets and poached and scrambled eggs.
See BuzzFeed's full write-up on the Dash egg cooker . Promising review: "The egg cooker is the first product I bought from Dash. It started my love affair with the Dash company and I am a serial buyer of now four different products and counting.
And no, I pay for them all and have zero connection to the company. I’m just a big fan of their products. If you want consistently good hard-boiled eggs, just follow the instructions.
If you want to customize your experience and be a mad scientist and play around with timing and with water temp and levels, you can do that too. But as long as you make sure to rinse the just-cooked eggs in cold water using the cute carrier, then you will get the desired soft to hard levels on the continuum of cook by using the included and equally cute water measurer/egg piercer. And you won’t hurt yourself like you would by doing the bonehead move of handling flaming hockey puck eggs with your bare hands.
Don’t be an idiot. Use the carrier." — JenX Get it from Amazon for $16.

22. A pack of pantry moth traps to finally rid your home of those tiny, annoying bug aviators. Promising review: "When I say these work fast, I mean it.
I got these in hopes of killing my pantry moth problem once and for all. As soon as I set these traps out a SWARM of moths came out from who-knows-where. I felt like I was in The Birds — it was that intense.
After my momentary panic I was shocked to find that the moths went straight to the traps and got themselves stuck, and within a few hours the kitchen was eerily free of moths. Don’t let the price scare you, this stuff works and works well. The only complaint I have is that my cat got herself stuck on one in a desperate attempt to kill some moths herself.
Though that is more of a complaint with the stupidity of my cat and not the product. With a little complaining and vegetable oil she came free with only a little fur missing." — Taylor Get a pack of six from Amazon for $17.
97 . 23. A fan-favorite all-season comforter — your current one is getting a little lumpy, no? Promising review: "This comforter is amazing! I was getting too warm with my down comforter, but I still wanted something soft, and this was the answer.
It's very light, yet still provides enough warmth that I'm only using this with a flat sheet. It fit perfectly in my duvet cover and comes with loops on each corner and midway between the corners." — Joiseygirl Get it from Amazon for $29.

Soo much easier for me. Plus, they come in cute color combos and the back has a magnet to put it right on the refrigerator" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.95+ (available in five styles).
25. A modern shoe cabinet slim enough to fit in even the smallest of entryways — it'll take care of the mountain of sneakers and boots cluttering up your space. Promising review: "It's hard to find a freestanding shoe cabinet less than 7" wide.
This is it, and pretty stylish/trendy to boot. It works perfectly for our narrow entryway to hide the shoes. I bought two.
Each shelf holds three to four pairs of shoes [and] assembly was straightforward, like Ikea...
The cane is a nice touch and the drawers are not see-through, as the cane has a solid MDF backing. Color is as expected. I am entirely satisfied at the money for value.

" — Etsy Reviewer Get the set of three from McMaster3D on Etsy for $11+ (available in 12 colors). 27. A pet hair remover that'll pull all the fur off your belongings.
It turns out that white fur coat you own is actually a black denim jacket??? Promising review: "Holy cow this is magic. I have a 230-pound Mastiff. I have purchased any and everything claiming to get dog hair off car carpet.
I have used at least three different vacuums and attachments. Lately I have been using a microfiber towel because it had some grip. Then this piece of magic arrived.
It gets every single hair no matter how embedded. There were hairs I had a hard time removing with my fingers. The Fur-Zoff pulled them right out.
This has cut my hair removal time in half! Thank you for this savior of a tool." — David R. Get it from Amazon for $12.

The construction is obviously a little flimsy, but it spins nicely and doesn't wobble. All the spices are fresh and quite nice! Promising review: "I LOVE THIS! It looks great on my counter and all the new choices I have to cook with is just exciting!! Plus, the five years of refills is just icing on top." — Imani Get a rack with 20 spices from Amazon for $47.
36 . 29. An under-cabinet drawer to bring order to whatever cabinet you've been avoiding lately.
Promising review: "These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based off the high ratings and they hold true.

99 (available in sizes twin—California king, as well as in duvet and comforter labels). 32. A waffle stick maker for delicious, dippable waffles any time.
Life is so much better when you have a waffle in each hand. (Yes, I do think a waffle stick maker is practical, tysm.) Promising review: "I do not normally rave about kitchen appliances but I love this little guy! I impulse bought it after reading some reviews and craving waffles.
It seriously is the best waffle maker I have ever used. We had a more expensive one that would flip to cook evenly, but this thing has that beat by a mile. I have used it a dozen times and the waffles come out perfect every time.
I spray with vegetable oil before pouring in 1/3 cup of batter (as other reviewers have noted it does not come with a measuring cup) and then set a timer for four minutes. When I am done, I just unplug it and let it cool, then wipe it off with a cloth. I know the color and cartoonish logo may turn some people off but I seriously recommend this iron to everyone.

A journal happy to store all your increasingly complicated passwords. At least 12 characters, including a symbol, number, capital letter, ancient rune, and the fleeting details of a half-remembered dream? COME ON! It's alphabetized so you can easily find the one you need!. Promising review: "This was exactly what I wanted.
The book has a heavy plastic cover and heavy-duty wire binding. The paper is good quality, although my favorite gel pens did have some bleed-through. I'd recommend ballpoint or pencil.
The entries have wide spaces, with room for website, email, username, password, and notes (which is perfect for noting the answers to those security questions...
What's your favorite ice cream flavor? I don't remember what I answered a year ago!). The password section has a good number of extra lines, for those sites that make you change your password with annoying frequency." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.
99+ (available in three sizes). 34. A monstera to bring life into your stuffy home.
2024 is the year you keep a plant alive. I believe in you! Above is an image of the plant just five months after it arrived. They grow up so fast.

69 . 35. A drain cover so you can fill your tub all the way to the tippy top.
You need all the water you can get if you want a cartoonishly over-flowing bathtub! Promising review: "I would die without a good bath. It's an absolute must. We just moved into a new home and the bathtubs are *SO* shallow.
My soul was slowly being ripped to pieces while soaking in a measly 7 inches of water. Devastating! It will be a while until we can afford to remodel the bathrooms, so I needed to find an alternative solution before I cracked. This product seriously improved the quality of my life.
It's a softer, malleable plastic than I originally thought, but convenient for different shaped tubs since it will mold easier. All I have to do to turn my nightmare tub into a dream was to run the suction cups under the faucet and snap the suction cups into place over the bath drain. It was so easy! I got an instant 5 inches more of water!! For $8?! I think yes!!! Crowds applauded and cried, it was beautiful.
In all seriousness, I'm pretty impressed and happy this worked out so well. I saw a few reviewers had issues with the suction cups not sticking, and I'm not sure why. I have a standard porcelain-enameled cast iron tub, and have no issues (it is so easy).
One person wrote they had issues with mold in their drain cover, so that is why I remove and hang it up after each bath to dry it thoroughly. Good luck fellow Bathians! I hope this review helps!" — Rachael Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).
36. A beeswax wood polish and conditioner to give your furniture an impossibly lustrous shine previously never seen in your home. It also prevents it from drying and fading.
Use it on antiques, dining tables, kitchen cabinets, wood doors, trim, and more. Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product.
Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs who had jumped up and scratched places, and we also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were and several other areas that were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magic eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemishes.
We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let is sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand new. We're so glad we found this product.

It's only been a couple of weeks, but it makes me excited to write again. I ordered blue, it's lovely and easy to use, haven't had any problems with the keys being round like I thought I would.
The mouse is fine, the connection hasn't had any problems yet. I feel like the price is reasonable, it's not super fancy with lighting, but it has a nice aesthetic and fluffy sounding clicky clackies." — Eric Get it from Amazon for $39.
