This stainless-steel tool is designed to get into tight sidewalk cracks and remove stubborn thistles, weeds, and moss with ease, so your knuckles don't end up scratched and bloodied.

www.amazon.com

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 $19.95.

3. A bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater spray for, yes, messy eaters, but also muddy footprints, pet accidents, period-related stains, and more. Parents swear by this stuff for its magical ability to make that mess *poof* disappear without using chlorine, perfumes, and sulfates. I'm not a parent, but I am giddy at the thought of not having "period" underwear anymore because I can just spray the stains away.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I will shout this from the rooftops: This is hands-down the BEST stain remover for clothes! As a mom to a messy, fun-loving 2-year-old boy, I’ve seen my fair share of stubborn stains. From food to dirt, this miracle spray gets everything out. I try to spray it on as soon as the mess happens, and I haven’t had a single stain it couldn’t handle. I recommend it to all my fellow mamas! I even use it on our adult clothes, and it works just as well — with zero skin irritation. Total game-changer!" —Megan Mullis

Get it from Amazon for $7.97(available in three sizes and multipacks). 

4. A pair of cat paw oven mitts to protect your hands from any ~cat-tastrophes~ in the kitchen involving hot bakeware.

Amazon

Promising review: "These are so cute. It's almost as cute as our real kitten's 'murder mittens.' It has a cat image on the palm, but not really noticeable. I have not noticed much heat from bakeware while using. Have washed a couple of times due to splatters. came out of the washer great and just let them air dry. I have large hands for a woman, but these fit fine. I would order these again and even give as a gift." —JoAnne G

Get them from Amazon for $11.71 (available in two styles).

Promising review: "I recently got these Tibetan floor wax sticks, and they're like magic wands for your floors and furniture! Got a scratch? No problem. Just wave one of these sticks over it, and voilà — scratch be gone! It's like having a tiny wizard in your cleaning arsenal. These wax sticks fill in scratches on the floor and furniture like a charm. My floors and furniture look brand new, and I didn't even have to cast a spell. Highly recommend!" —b4komer

Promising review: "Bought this for a friend who I know is going to love these! Sticker is great quality and the seller puts a lot of care into their products and packaging." —Julie Tran

Get it from byUme on Etsy for $3.49.

It's got slots for up to four bottles as well as a built-in tray for water-sippin' accessories like straws, straw toppers, electrolyte packets, etc. And there are five hooks you can use for holding the lids (no more rooting around in your junk drawer!) but you can also use them to hold more bottles (reviewers say they're that strong), keys, oven mitts, and more.

Promising review: "Organizing genius !!! The magnet is VERY strong. Also comes with an adhesive that I used to attach a drink packet organizer on the fridge to make my whole drink area perfect." —Jenn Rieger

Get the four-capacity model for $34.99 (available in black and white and a three-capacity model).

9. A pet brush for deshedding your furry little monster. The stainless-steel teeth are designed to reach deep, effortlessly loosening and lifting fur before it ends up embedded in your couch fibers and every black T-shirt you own.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wowwww!! I thought we were getting a lot of fur off our mini Maine coon mix with our regular cat brush, but I had no idea how much we were missing until I bought this comb! Bella is visibly sleeker and happier after two good de-shedding combing sessions. The best part is that she LOVED it, which says a lot, because she typically will only allow a few swipes of the brush at a time. But with this comb, she even let me get her BELLY fur!!! For a cat who rarely likes being touched for more than 10 seconds, that is incredible! 5 out of 5 stars, telling everyone I know about this comb!!" —Rebecca Headley

Get it from Amazon for $14.97.

10. A limited-edition Laneige x Baskin-Robbins Lip Sleeping Mask to treat your lips to TWO (!) icons: the internet-famous Lip Sleeping Mask *and* Baskin-Robbins' Rainbow Sherbet. You better grab this before the '90s babies make it sell out!

@sephora / Via www.instagram.com

Promising review: "This is by far one of the best things I've purchased from Sephora and Laniege. The collab gives me nostalgia because Rainbow Sherbet was my go-to ice cream growing up. The cherry on top for me is that the applicator is a mini spoon in the shape of the kind they give you at Baskin-Robbins. I want to get another one before it's gone. I think they should make this one of their permanent scents." —valy3

Get it from Sephora for $25.

11. A pack of carborundum sponges if those scorch marks are so stuck on there that it's time to call in the heavy hitters. You'll want them for stains and gunk that no other sponge is strong enough to handle.

www.amazon.com

The high-density sponges are squishy on the inside with an emery layer on the outside. They can be cut into smaller chunks for cleaning nooks and crannies. 

Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe I'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." —Hoarder

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $8.29+ (available in two sponge thicknesses).

12. A moth ring with a pearl chain that'll flutter right into your cart. Well! How did that get there?

MyCallenaFly / Etsy

MyCallenaFly is a small business.

Promising review: "The ring is absolutely stunning. I’m truly obsessed with it! It was a bit late, but that was no big deal, and the seller was so responsive and apologetic when I reached out about whether they knew when it would arrive! (:" —Lexi

Get it from MyCallenaFly on Etsy for $24.65+ (available in two moth sizes and two band colors).

13. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." —BBP623

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99.

14. A Disney Channel pin because all I have to do is say the words "You're watching Disney Channel" for you to immediately pick up your hand and draw a Mickey Mouse in the air. The wand is on a slider (*squeals*) so you can literally draw Mickey!

Pins By Goosey / Etsy

Pins By Goosey is a small business based in Detroit.

Promising review: "The pin brought back so many memories of the old Disney Channel. I love the pin and the wand movement. The colors are super fun." —Caroline Darden

Get it from Pins By Goosey on Etsy for $11.

15. A screen-cleaning brush for anyone who struggles to see out of their windows because of grime-covered mesh screens. Is that a twig or a crack in the glass? Maybe there's a dead bug clinging to the outside of the screen, and he's been there for so long that you've named him. (Everyone say hello to Carl!)

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy

Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

16. A pair of checkered wrap pants that'll help you channel summer with sweet lil' watermelon vibes.

Rujuta Sheth

Rujuta Sheth is a woman-owned small business that is committed to sustainability through its use of handcrafted textiles and natural fibers. They produce small batches to prevent waste, and scraps and unused textiles are repurposed into accessories and other products.

Promising review: "These pants are FABULOUS. The watermelon colors, the flexible waist, the fabric quality — all wonderful. For us curvy girls, a note: the left leg is significantly wider than the right to allow for fabric to fold and become the front flap. On my pair (size L), the narrower right leg is actually too slim at the crotch line to be comfortable. It would be helpful to have that measurement before buying! Will exchange for XL and enjoy." —Tricia B.

Get them from Rujuta Sheth for $225 (available in women's sizes XS–4XL).

17. A shoe-stretch spray if you paid good money for those super cute leather boots and by golly you're going to get them on your feet, muscular calves be damned. Use this magic spray to soften too-tight boots, loafers, sandals, gloves, and more.

Amanda Davis / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My sandals were awfully tight on the top of my feet. I tried everything before finally finding this spray. Nothing helped; there was no relief. Then I tried this spray, and it moved heaven and earth, and now my sandals are perfect!" —Swissharpist

"I injured my foot a few months back, and most of my shoes don't fit. I've tried stretchers, hair dryers, wearing several socks — everything. I bought this stuff, and within half an hour, my problems were solved. Try this method first." —Susan Olson

Get it from Amazon for $10.99. 

18. A cruelty-free Tree Hut "Flower Milk" shea sugar scrub that's meant to smell like freshly baked sweet treats — um, yum?! — and will gently exfoliate dull, dead skin. Consider this my formal demand that every shower ends with me emerging sparkling and smelling like a warm sugar cookie!!

Ulta

Promising review: "Of all the Tree Hut scrubs I've tried, this one is my favorite so far! It smells incredibly relaxing like a flowery milkshake, and it's one of the most moisturizing scrubs I've ever tried, period! It's not too oily, it's not stripping, and it does what it needs to do! I want to buy a backup, and I don't usually say that about products. My request is that it's in the permanent line and comes in more forms like a butter or lotion, cause it's THAT good!" —Sarah

Get it from Ulta for $9.99.

19. A Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to revive your dinged and dented cabinets and table. This is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing them, and using it on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Many reviewers started by using Restor-A-Finish to blend out minor scratches before finishing with the Feed-N-Wax. It's as simple as wiping on and off!

Promising review: "I got this product a few hours ago from Amazon and now have shiny floors! It gave the really dull hardwood floors of my prewar NYC apartment an impressive shine. Really impressive. A little goes a long way: I used only about two ounces to shine about 500 square feet of clean floors. Before using it on the floors, I tested the polish on an old wooden side table that was scarred and needed sanding. It looked a lot better afterward." —KindleCustomer2

Get it from Amazon for $11.45. 

20. A ~fierce~ tiger bath mat because yes, it's fun, but it's also practical. And reviewers say it stands up to foot traffic without shedding.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Not one single thing is aesthetically pleasing about my bathroom except this rug. It makes me smile. Very soft, no loose pieces. The backing seems sturdy enough on ceramic tile, but it did come with some Velcro strips, I guess, if you need to secure it to the floor. Mine is in front of the sink, not the shower, so I'm not too worried about it slipping." —Allison

Get it from Amazon for $31.89.

21. Some plant cleaning wipes with neem oil for lifting those water spots (ugh, what an eyesore!) as well as dirt and dust on the leaves, making it easier for your photosynthesize more effectively. Not only will you have beautiful shiny leaves, but you may also notice fewer pests thanks to the neem oil, a well-known insecticide and repellent with antifungal properties.

Southside Plants is a woman-owned small business that was founded in Fort Worth, Texas, by plant-lover Meg Renninger. They create everything from their own potting soil to fertilizer spray.  

Promising reviews: "I love these wipes for my fiddle leaf fig tree. The wipes are scentless and have a good texture for getting the dust and grime off the leaves of your plants. They’re really convenient, and the packaging is pretty! Highly recommended." —MP

"These are amazing, and they look and feel like they should be more expensive, LOL. There are a ton of wipes, and you could honestly cut them in half and do two plants. They stay wet for a long time, so you could wipe each leaf and it will still be damp. I usually wipe with pest prevention spray every six months or so, but this helps keep them clean in the meantime, and the ingredients are actually good for the leaves. Just get it; you'll love it!" —Luke

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

Get it from Printed Colorado on Etsy for $29.99 (available in 11 colors).

23. A hoodie hanger if you're currently wasting space in your closet storing one hoodie per hanger...yeah, that's not gonna cut it with your shoebox apartment. And don't even get me started on folding hoodies! You can only stack them one high in a drawer! So inefficient! Just grab one of these six-pronged hangers and use 'em for your hoodies, T-shirts, bras, belts, purses, hats, and more.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this product in a two-pack for my T-shirts because I hate folding and putting laundry away, and thought it would be a more convenient way for me to keep my clothes organized, and Wow! When I saw how durable and well-made they were, and how much space they saved, and how easy they were to use, I bought more! They also were a great value for the money, and I was able to just walk into my closet and see all my clothes, so they were all visible as soon as I opened my closet, no more searching through drawers. The next two packs I bought, I even used to hang my hoodies; these things are super durable and sturdy. I highly recommend these little darlings for anyone trying to get organized." —Icherr

24. A midi dress with the most darling ruffled tiers that'll make you look like a literal work of art.

Promising review: "This is a stylish and comfortable outfit for any occasion. This dress features a chiffon fabric that offers a lightweight and breathable fit, perfect for warm weather. The off-shoulder design adds a touch of sophistication, while the ruffles on the sleeves and hem provide a playful and feminine touch. The length of the dress ensures that it covers the legs, making it suitable for both casual and formal events. The dress can be paired with a clutch purse to complete the look. Overall, this dress is a versatile and fashionable option for anyone looking to make a statement at their next party or gathering." —Momma_Jon

Get it from Amazon for $47.98 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and nine prints).

Just lay them over the spot, give 'em a stomp to activate their cleaning powders, and watch the stain disappear — no bulky carpet steamer necessary!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and more.

Promising review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger, I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet-related), and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now." —MC

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48.

26. A pack of stamp-shaped magets because how gosh darn cute are they?! They'll be the perfect lil' serotonin boost for the approximately 15 times per day that you open the fridge thinking a sweet treat might have magically appeared and then close it in disappointment when, in fact, there is no Crumbl cookie with your name on it in the fridge.

27. An innovative hardshell suitcase — OK, so you know when you've got your suitcase precariously balanced on an itty-bitty luggage rack and with the suitcase fully open, it takes up like 50% of the free space in your shoebox-sized hotel room? This suitcase's trunk-style opening changes the game! It offers deeper storage space (so go ahead and *stuff* those packing cubes) and easy access to stuff in your carry-on — no more having to open the entire clamshell and reveal to your gate every single thing you packed because you need to grab a hairbrush.

Check out one review on TikTok.

Promising review: "I'm an avid traveler and about a year ago I finally bought my first hardside luggage. I got a gorgeous Samsonite set, which got lots of compliments in airports and hotels. However, I'm a 71-year-old woman, often travel alone, and the clamshell style simply didn't work for me. Whenever I wanted to pop a bag open to grab something, the lid, packed with clothes, was sooo heavy, I couldn't hold it up with one hand while digging with the other.. I had to find an area large enough to allow me to open the bag all the way...laying both halves flat...to retrieve any of the contents. When I checked my bag, it was a few pounds over, and opening it and pulling a few things out was a nightmare in the crowded airport. Couldn't use the luggage stands in the hotel rooms, had to put my bags on the floor or lift them onto the bed in order to open them all the way. I didn't enjoy sitting on the floor digging through my bags, nor do I like putting luggage on the bed after it's been in the belly of a plane and on various shuttles. This Hanke just went with me to Mexico, and it was way, way easier for me to manage!! Nothing I don't like about it, and I'm once again able to lift the lid easily whenever I need to get inside. I love the nice neutral grey-beige color. The handles and the wheels work smoothly and feel like decent quality. I really didn't want to have to buy more luggage, but I'm so glad I did. I started with a larger bag, loved it so much, I just got the carry-on for my trip in January. The carry-on has a compartment in the front for my laptop. Great luggage!" —GlamGalLovesStuff

Get the 20-inch carry-on from Amazon for $149.59 (also available in 16-inch, 24-inch, and 26-inch sizes and seven colors, and with or without a laptop compartment).

28. Cain's Jawbone, a fiendishly difficult puzzle to put your sleuthing skills to the test. It works like this: You'll receive a book of 100 pages detailing a murder...except the pages are out of order. Can you correctly arrange the pages and solve the murder? Only four people have solved it. Ever!

Amazon

Fun fact #1: This book makes an appearance in Knives Out. When Daniel Craig's character Benoit Blanc is in the bathtub, Cain's Jawbone is one of the books strewn around the tub!

Fun fact #2: I got this for my dad for Father's Day because he's big into brain games, and he told me he's really enjoying it! 

Promising review: "Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loved it! He loves books, brain teaser metal puzzles, and usually has the bad guy figured out before the halfway point of a movie. So this was perfect for him. He just started it. But if anyone can solve it, I’m pretty sure it’s him." —Pernina Doyle

Get it from Amazon for $8.25.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I don’t know why someone didn’t think of this. I love it when my parents are jealous that they didn’t have something when I was a baby! It’s very convenient when we are traveling and don’t have time or an opportunity to wash bibs! The cost is worth the reward. It protected my little one's clothes and the sizing matches with him and can help as he grows." —Amazon Customer

Get 30 bibs from Amazon for $10.50+ (available in three patterns)

Promising review: "I was nervous to try a new scent because of the price, but I was not disappointed at all! This smells just like Tom Ford Velvet Orchid perfume. I will be alternating between 76 and 62. The 62 is my summer scent, and 76 is my fall/winter scent. 🖤" —Jazmine

31. A hair-identifier spray so your monthly dermaplaning session as pain-free as possible. Now, you can be sure you're shaving all the peach fuzz to make makeup application smoother and reveal that summery glow. And reviewers say the spray helps the razor glide more smoothly.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The power of the hair identifier's spray is unmatched. Once you spray in any direction that has hair, it automatically identifies the hair that needs to be removed. It is easily sprayed on and easily wiped off. No extra residue. Comes with four blades, and I say these blades are soft and gentle, yet they get the job done. Not sure why no one ever thought of coming up with a hair identifier spray. Great value and smells like baby powder. Great quality." —Karine

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

32. A no-mercy version of Uno because, in your opinion, the Draw 4 Uno card isn't ruthless enough. How about Draw 10? Yep! This Uno has tougher action cards and some brutal new rules that might test some relationships.

Amazon

Promising review: "The devilish play style and quick change from 2 cards to 20 cards is amazingly hilarious. Even on the bad side, the cards let you swap hands completely. Beautifully done, had my daughter cackling like a demonic wicked witch. I had more fun watching them, then playing TBH." —DWayne A.
