1. A beeswax wood polisher so you can revive your embarrassingly worn, dinged, and dented cabinets and table quick as a flash. Plus, this method is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing the wood or furniture piece, and using this polish on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer.
Promising review: "We’ve had a dining room table worn for seven years by young kids, strong disinfectant, and just general family abuse. I’ve wanted to get rid of it due to the massive wear and scratches. I used this per the instructions, and the table looks nearly brand-new ! Strongly recommend.
If you’re on the fence, you won’t regret it." — Tyler Hanes Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in four sizes).
2. A collagen-coating hair treatment if your dry, damaged, and overprocessed strands could use a little TLC. This reparative five-minute hair mask will revive your mane and leave it soft, silky, and smooth.
Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good, I really missed the soft texture. This works so well.
There are no instructions on the box, but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair, which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough-looking, but I woke up, and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product.
I have long, fine hair, but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." — Ellie Get it from Amazon for $8.

A Bissell Little Green machine because your living room looks like you're running a doggy daycare out of it. This portable upholstery and carpet cleaner cleans deeply, penetrating household fabrics and even car interiors to erase any sign of your pet's accidents. Promising review: "Two months ago, we got a 6-month-old puppy who has needed some time to get adjusted.
That included more than a few accidents in our living room and on his bed. This machine has made cleaning up everything so much simpler, and I love that it's deep cleaning and has a nontoxic pet cleaner so that our not-so-little puppy isn't harmed through exposure or smells. Also helpful since my teenage sons like to camp out on the couch with their friends on long weekends and our couch gets that fresh, clean smell in an hour .
" — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $123.59 . 4.
A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel for dissolving hard, dead skin in literal minutes. (Seriously, reviewers say you should only let it sit for two to three minutes!) Then, give it a good scrub with a foot file, and your heels will be baby-bottom smooth. Promising review: "I didn’t even know relief like this existed before now.
For me, the worst part about nearing 40 is absolutely the hardened heels. They are so uncomfortable..
.forget unsightly, I don’t even care about that. My heels weren’t cracked and ugly or anything.
..just hard and uncomfortable.
I had tried everything to soften my heels and get some relief from the annoying feeling, but nothing had worked. Finally, I saw this in a BuzzFeed article about items you 'must try!' I was NOT disappointed. One bath later, and I’ve lost that quarter-inch thickness of just hard dead skin on each heel .
As I was scraping, I could see the dead skin accumulating on the scrubber, and I was blown away. My feet feel amazing! I’ve been waiting for this for 10 years. I am so happy I gave this a try.
" — Lacey C. Get it from Amazon for $14.99 .
5. A cuticle oil that'll restore your shredded nails after a gel mani. A combination of sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba softens the cuticle and strengthens your claws, so you'll be proud to show them off.
Promising review: " This product is amazing. I've always had acrylic or dipped nails because my real nails have always been brittle and always break and peel. I decided to give my nails a break and wanted to try and grow them out.
I can't even believe the outcome! They are stronger than ever and growing! I really wish I had taken a before pic to show the difference!" — JOE D. Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
6. A kid-friendly travel tray to spare you from the tedious task of handing your child a single goldfish at a time because you didn't bring any smaller containers to the park and giving them the bag = most fish will end up on the floor. This tray not only offers a place for snacks but also comes with a cup holder and an adapter so you can use insert it in cupholders in the car, stroller, movie theater, outdoor chairs, etc.
Promising review: "We are always traveling and needed something that my toddler could easily put her snacks and drink in. I saw this on a TikTok video, and it sold me. This travel tray has been the best.
I no longer have to keep handing my daughter snacks; now I can fill the tray up with her favorite snack and drink and head out. My mom, who watches my daughter from time to time, saw it and had to buy one for her car. The tray comes with an extra insert in case the cupholder is bigger.
It also comes with a grip ring so that the tray will stay steady in the cupholder." — Caitlyn Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in seven colors).
7. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so soap scum and shower grime buildup goes bye-bye without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes.
I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised.
We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents, two sizes, and multi-packs).
8. A pet hair remover if you're tired of getting fur all over your clothes. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away.
See, we can own nice things!! Promising review: " If I could give this product six stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair.
We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months, and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it.
We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." — Morgan Willis Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four colors).
9. A teeth-whitening pen because it's a heck of a lot quicker (and tastes a lot better) than those irritating whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades.
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 a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95 .
10. A seamless bodysuit for offering support and smoothing whether you want to wear it under something else or on its own as a top. Some reviewers say the bodysuit is comparable to the Skims versions.
Promising review: "I am obsessed. I got the thong Shapewear for a comfy daily shapewear and forget I am even wearing it. The shapewear offers excellent support on my double d chest as well.
I will definitely be buying more. The thong does ride up on me, but I do not mind it, as all thong bodysuits do that. I will definitely look into buying a few brief versions for my time of month and more comfort with clothing that requires no hiding panty lines.
I loved the way it cinched me in in my tummy area and the comfort under my clothes." — Zoka Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–5XL and 11 colors/styles).
11. A box of cleaning K-Cups that'll get rid of residue in your machine and prevent flavors from transferring in just one cycle. Or have fun descaling it multiple times.
Your choice! Promising review: "This is the first time anything has sent particles out while brewing. My first cup of coffee after doing this was amazing, and I could tell that my machine needed this cleaning a long time ago. Highly recommend especially if all types of coffee start tasting the same.
" — Tippy Get a box of six pods from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in a 12- and 18-pack). 12.
A roll-on sunscreen sponge to make the always messy (why is it so messy?!) task of applying sunscreen a heck of a lot better. Simply squirt your sunscreen of choice into the applicator, attach the lid, give it a shake so the sunscreen reaches the sponge, and then apply! Your hands will stay clean (no more greasy hands!), and the sponge will prevent too much sunscreen from coming out = less product wasted. Reviewers recommend using a more watery sunscreen; if your preferred sunscreen is quite thick, this may not work for you.
And JSYK, the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD) says most adults need about an ounce (the equivalent of a shot glass) of sunscreen to adequately cover their face and body. Promising review: "Not just for kids. I told all my friends it’s awesome.
Pricey, but better than wasting expensive sunscreen in globs. This makes the sun screening process much less messy and not as much of a drudgery. They even have replacement pads available so the ergonomic container can be reused indefinitely .
Consider one to keep at home and one packed to travel. MAKES A GREAT GIFT FOR KIDS. They can almost apply sunscreen on their own with little assistance.
" — Bette Henry Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (available in five colors and a two-pack). 13.
An easily washable drip catcher so the counter space between the back of your faucet and the wall just turns into a puddle after you wash the dishes. This absorbent mat sits snugly around your faucet so the back section of your sink area stays dry. 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 five colors and sizes). 14. A V-neck maxi wrap dress if your fridge is covered in wedding invites and according to you, you have nothing (!) to wear.
Meet your new wedding season plus-one — that's so cute you'll most definitely wear it even when you're not a wedding guest. Promising review: "I purchased the pink floral dress. I bought it to wear for Easter.
Well...
it was too beautiful to wait. I went ahead and wore it to church. I felt so beautiful in it! I still plan to wear it for Easter, but I am sure to wear it many more times! Strongly recommend!" — Kristen S Get it from Amazon for $46.
99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 40 colors/patterns). 15. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper because you've got pounds of produce in your fridge just waiting to be prepped for dinner and absolutely zero desire to spend more than five minutes chopping it all.
No more tears because the recipe calls for diced onions! Promising reviews: "I bought this to ease my chopping. I have a large family that I cook for and spending anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour sometimes just chopping things was extremely exhausting. I have used this multiple times since I've purchased this and I am grateful.
It was easy to use and the clean up was a lot faster than normal. " — Jameelah Sheffield "I make salads every night for a family of five. This takes me about two minutes to chop everything but the lettuce.
This is saving me so much time. I throw my onion, baby tomatoes, and Persian cucumbers in it. Absolutely love it!" — Ricky Get it from Amazon for $23.
99+ (available in four sizes and styles). 16. A pill organizer for helping you consistently take your meds — whether you're on vacation or just extremely forgetful.
Promising review: "I love this cute little folding pill box! Perfectly compact and discreet for travel! It stays closed nice and tight and doesn’t pop open by itself. I love that it’s folded closed, so if it’s left on the countertop or if you have to go through your luggage in a public place, all your business isn’t out on display (we’ve all been there, am I right?!) I also like the different-sized compartments to fit all of my various vitamins, including my chewable gummy vitamins. It’s very sleek and stylish and would make a great gift for someone who’s about to go on a trip! Great price, too! Buy it!" — Lea Get it from Amazon for $16.
99+ (available in 2 sizes and 13 colors/combinations). 17. A magnetic screen door that'll not only let in the cool breeze (while keeping *out* the buggies) but will also prevent you from having to let your dog go out every 10 minutes.
Why is it that dogs stand at the door and bark until you let them out only to bark at the door asking to come back in 30 seconds later??? Promising review: "We got this screen so our dog can go in and out freely without letting the bugs in. At first, he wasn't quite sure about going through it; in fact, he scratched at it, signaling us to open it for him. But after a few training treats, he figured it out.
Installation was so easy! The Velcro, fabric, and mesh all seem very good quality. I'm also happy that we can take down the screen in the winter and store it away easily , then just reattach it in the spring. Very happy with my purchase!" — Crystal K Get it from Amazon for $26.
99+ (available in four sizes). 18. A handy bath ducky to tell you in seconds whether the bath water is too hot for baby.
Promising review: "I have always found the same issue with bath toys that have holes due to water getting trapped inside, making it difficult to clean, therefore, mold growing inside. However, with this bath toy, it isn't an issue, and the temperature-changing aspect on the bottom makes for convenience! It also isn't that expensive, which is undoubtedly a plus, especially when it comes to kids' bath toys that last. So, I highly recommend getting this product since it is cheap, easy to clean, and helpful in checking the water temperature!" — Abbie Fish Get it from Amazon for $3.
19 . 19. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you can restore your walls and dressers when your little ones go Baby Picasso on your furniture with a permanent marker.
See it in action on TikTok here ! Promising review: "If this stuff isn’t in your arsenal yet, you need it. I accidentally got GREEN hair dye all over my white sink. Bleach, CLR, Magic Erasers — nothing touched it.
The Pink Stuff was my Hail Mary while I was panicking about what I would tell my landlord. The stains are completely gone and I have a white sink again! " — Courtney Foltz Get it from Amazon for $5.97 .
20. A 3-in-1 ergonomic rake if you've got a long list of fun summer plans and the only thing standing in your way is an even longer list of outdoor chores. This rake rakes (duh), grabs, and bags lawn debris without you having to bend over or touchy anything yucky.
Promising review: "I am 100% endorsing this rake. I grow my vegetables in straw bales every year and just cleared out 10 composted straw bales in about an hour. I didn't tweak my knees or back AT ALL!! It's very easy to use and very sturdy! feel fine after using it.
It is worth every penny. This rake just took the dread out of my garden cleanup!" — Shenendoah C. Finnigan Get it from Amazon for $44.
95 (available in three colors). 21. An extreme hold eyebrow gel because it gives your brows that laminated look, offers 16 hours of hold without looking crunchy, and doesn't leave behind white flakes.
Sweat and water, mortal enemies of brow gels everywhere, meet your match! Promising review: "I would use hair spray to hold my eyebrows, and throughout the day, I would sweat through it, and it wouldn’t last. I tried this because the price was great, and I’m glad I did. This product is awesome.
I’ve had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift, and they are still in place! It doesn’t dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder, and this does NOT affect the look of the powder, nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product.
" — Shelby Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in seven shades and a clear option). 22.
Some washing machine cleaning tablets for cleaning and freshening the inside while dissolving residue. You keep your washing machine open when it's not in use yet it still smells moldy. What gives? They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.
Promising review: "I've been using this product for several years now. I have two teens and a husband who's an auto technician. Boy, do they get filthy! After time this grime buildup will make your washer stink bad.
I don't do it every month as they say to, as I don't have that type of money, but when it stinks, this product is the bomb! Makes your washer smell really fresh, like brand new. If it still stinks after one tablet, pop another one in, and no more stink!! Yay! I would give this 20 stars if I could. Really love this product so much so that I bought the ones for my dishwasher , too!! (They work great, too!)" — berja Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.
95 . 23. And a pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets that'll clean your machine as it runs.
No need to sigh in frustration every time you open your dirty dishwasher to remove your "clean" dishes. Promising review: "I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scales, and nothing we tried came close to helping.
After using the tablets three times, our dishwasher looks like new; our glasses are sparkling like fine china, and everything else looks fabulous . Highly recommend, worth every penny, best product BY FAR!!! One great advantage is you can use it with your dishes. Some other products are used to clean the dishwasher but not to clean dishes and glasses.
Buy this, and you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" — Jenny Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $13.22 . 24.
A pack of semi-cured gel nail strips to give you salon-worthy results at home, for a fraction of the price, and in wayyyyy less time. Just apply the strip, let it cure under a UV light, and your mani should last up to two weeks thanks to the built-in waterproof top coat. Promising review: "This is the third brand of semi-cured gel nail polish strips I have tried, and these are by far the best quality .
I don’t know why it does not have only 5-star reviews. The strips are easy to apply, appropriately thick, cure very hard, and last easily 10 days. They are also the shiniest of the gel nail polish strips I have used as well.
These are so superior to the other ones that I have. I will be purchasing more strips in different colors rather than use out the strips that I already have. These just look so much better.
" — Anna G. Get a pack from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in 34 colors/patterns).
25. A lash extension sealer adhesive and starter falsies so you can have the flutteriest lashes this summer. If you've bought and angrily tossed out many packs of strip lashes that just *never* look right.
..you might want to try individual lashes.
This kit comes with 24 cruelty-free synthetic eyelash extensions that are reusable up to three times, a bond and seal primer and adhesive, applicator, and remover. Promising review: "I previously got eyelash extensions, and that got too pricey, so I wanted to try a low-cost option to do them at home. For less than $20 for the lashes and the bond/seal, this is totally worth it! So much easier to put on than normal strip lashes since the bond is so sticky and ready instantly, and they even lasted through a very hot shower and sleeping.
One lash did come off while sleeping, but it was the very first one I applied, and I had a feeling I didn’t apply it great. I am very happy with these! I wish they came out with a bolder lash to use in this brand since these are very subtle and much of an everyday use." — Traci Lynn Get the adhesive from Amazon for $9.
97 . 26. A ceiling fan cleaner if you're tired of attempting to clean the fan only to end up with a face full of dust, lots of dust bunnies on the floor, and a crick in your neck.
This handy dandy cleaning system comes with a genius cleaning sleeve that removes debris from all four sides of the fan blade. Promising review: "A friend showed me this product, and WOW! It is much more than I thought it would be! First, it makes cleaning your fan blades easier than ever . Fitting the attachment to the pole is simple, and cleaning the blades is even simpler.
The dust stays mostly trapped inside the collector while it works on both sides of the blade at once. No more tired arms, dusty mess, or wasted time. Second, the flexible dusting attachment is even MORE useful and an obvious must for this straightforward product! Y ou can go to town removing dust from all your high-up-dust-collecting surfaces with ease and confidence.
Third, the build quality is much more substantial than I thought it would be. It's built well. The fittings are snug and secure, and the pole is sturdy and very comfortable to hold.
Great design. Will be purchasing another for my grandmother who has difficulty cleaning her fans in Florida!" — jeremy k Get it from Amazon for $24.96+ (available in four sizes/styles).
27. A Tub Topper because parents everywhere, bathtime is about to change forever. It attaches with suction cups to the lip of the tub and acts as a splash guard, toy tray, and a fun zone thanks to the flat surface, which allows for play.
Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it.
And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it.
You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" — Brianna Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors). 28.
A leakproof, airtight, and water-tight fridge door jug for freeing up some much-needed space in the refrigerator. Goodbye bulky cartons and plastic bottles! And with that newfound space you can make bulk batches of lemonade and tea instead of having to make smaller servings multiple times a week because your fridge just didn't have room for another container. Promising review: "This pitcher fits perfectly in my refrigerator door bin.
I like it so much I bought another, one for water and one for iced tea. The lid fits very snugly, as does the spout cover, so it can be hard to open sometimes, but I prefer the tight seal for freshness and no leaking when removing the pitcher from the fridge. A great buy at a great price.
" — AMC Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in three sizes and 10 colors). 29.
A shea butter–infused cream-to-powder E.l.f.

I’ve tried so hard to wear blush but it always looked wrong on me, no matter what color or brand. I got [Glistening Peach] a pink color that is so subtle it's almost imperceptible but it does something. I can put it on in seconds with no mirror, and it will still look good.
" — Wednesday Get it from Amazon for $5+ (available in seven shades). 30. Some aesthetic highlighters so you can reward yourself for studying — you deserve it! Promising review: "I am absolutely in love!! The shape of the highlighter itself makes it so easily glide over the paper .
