2. A hoodie hanger because one hoodie per hanger...yeah, that's not gonna cut it with your small closet. 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 were also 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." —Sissy

Promising review: "These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from bleeding. It makes all clothes/laundry brighter and look like new, not that old, washed color after just one wash without these sheets. I give this product 5+ stars. Highly recommend. A few pennies spent additionally on your laundry makes one look like they are wearing new clothes all the time." —Nikita

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy! It’s super easy to use, and I use it to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10, especially for the price point!" —Thia

Get it from Amazon for $6.24.

5. A weekly keyboard planner to help you organize your tasks and visualize the work week. It's undated, so you can use it only when you need it instead of buying a dated planner and then feeling like you've wasted money because you only filled half the book.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love lists. Usually, I don't use paper calendars because the squares are either too small or too 'timed appointment oriented' for my listy lifestyle. Sometimes, I just need to write down a lot of information on a certain day. This calendar is organized just right. I love that you can start it at any time of the year. The paper quality is really heavy and smooth, so pens don't bleed through. Cuz on the back of each calendar page? More space for lists!" —Sonya W

Get it from Amazon for $9.62.

6. An outlet extender if your bed, couch, cabinets, etc., can't lie flat against the wall because a pesky cord is in the way. This adapter has three outlets, so you can push your bed flat against the wall and still plug in the charger.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have been looking for a solution that would allow for a nightstand and also a dresser to be pushed up against a wall, even with things plugged into the outlet behind that furniture. I FOUND IT. This wall outlet extender does exactly what it says it will do. I have a fan, clock radio, and watch charger plugged into it, and can still move the nightstand right up against the wall. The light on the dresser no longer forces the dresser to be out a couple of inches; it, too, can be pushed right up against the wall, and the cord is not in danger of getting crushed and becoming a fire hazard. A game changer! I will be ordering a few more." —Lynda L.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.79+ (also available in a three-pack).

The flexible silicone sides hug your food, allowing these containers to take up less room than a bulky plastic food storage container.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had it for a few months now and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two color combinations).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I always get compliments on this color! It’s the perfect basic top for an office setting. Not sheer and just not enough stretch." —Matthew B.

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 30 colors; this plus-size option is very similar!).

9. A Pikk-it tool that'll remove tangled hair that's lodged in your vacuum head and totally messing with your vac's absorption powers. (And ofc your fingers can't reach the hair!) You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "You need this. This is a lifesaver. The amount of time I used to spend cutting out hair from my vacuum brush/roller has been cut by a fraction with this little tool. Wow!" —Holly Hendrickson

"Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

10. A shoe-stretch spray for softening too-tight boots, loafers, sandals, gloves, and more. 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.

Amanda Davis / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review for more details!  

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

11. Sheet Keeper, an elastic band labeled with a sheet size to prevent any confusion the next time you go to the linen closet looking for the sheets for the guest bedroom. You'll be able to quickly and clearly see which sheets are the full set — aka the guest bedroom sheets — and which ones are the queen sheets — aka your bed sheets.

Amazon

Sheet Keeper is a small business based in Los Angeles.

Promising review: "Both sizes fit. Now, the kids don't have to ask which sheets are theirs. Also makes for a neater closet since they can pick up their set instead of rummaging through each sheet, balling it up, and stuffing it back in if it's not theirs." —Pat

Get two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six sizes).

12. 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.

Amazon

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, 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).

13. A pack of carborundum sponges because these are the heavy hitters you'll want 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!!!! The 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).

14. A Trtl travel pillow that'll cushion your neck and keep it upright — which is the best position to prevent neck pain. Plus, your neighbors will silently thank you because it means you're not flopping your head from side to side and onto their shoulders.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Completely satisfied! I have a bulging disc in my neck and related neck/shoulder pain, so I can't afford to fall asleep uncomfortably when I travel via car or plane. This neck pillow looks a little goofy (as most do!), but it definitely works. It essentially helped me sleep sitting up on and off during a 10-hour car trip with no discomfort or pain. Once your head starts to fall to the side just a little, it will hold you up. I didn't feel it was as comfortable or natural putting the support under my chin but it could definitely work that way if your head tips forward when you fall asleep. I will definitely take this on any and all long trips where I want to sleep and ensure I have proper neck support!" —Kris

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in five styles).

15. A wireless lace bralette for anyone .01 seconds away from setting their wired bras on fire. This little number offers a surprising amount of support, convertible straps, and, most importantly, a wire-free design that won't make you feel like you're being poked and prodded all damn day.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have such difficulty finding bras that are comfortable and do what it is used for. This is such a comfortable fit and so soft. I have found my one and only company to buy from. Bali, you are great! And an added bonus, reasonably priced." —Coree Martin

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and seven colors).

16. A battery storage caddy to help you with the very grown-up task of organizing your batteries. Woo! Its compact size means it won't take up too much room in a junk drawer or a camping bag. And the caddy is designed so that the batteries snap in securely yet are able to be removed with just one hand.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these. They're a great way to organize and store your batteries. I prefer these over the large cases that store multiple types of batteries together because I can just grab the size I need and throw them in my bag. I don't have to carry a cumbersome, large case or loose batteries. I highly recommend them." —Mr. Methuselah

Get it from Amazon for $8.80.

17. A pet hair roller if you love your fur babies but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding, no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in black and white).

18. 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.

19. A pair of sockless shoe liners because the return of the sun also means the return of stinky, sweaty feet. Bleh! Sometimes, you don't want or need a layer of socks, and that's where these washable and absorbent shoe liners come in handy!

www.amazon.com

The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.

Promising review: "I can't recommend these inserts enough! After a week of heavy use, they hardly smell. Pop them in the wash, and they are ready to go again! Super comfy and doesn't move around. So nice to have in shoes you don't feel like wearing socks with! Plus, so many fun patterns!" —Vicky L. Parr

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes [fits women's sizes 6–13] and four colors).

20. Some plant cleaning wipes with neem oil that'll lift 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.

www.amazon.com

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 $14.97.

21. An aligner cleaner foam for fresher breath and a cleaner mouthguard or retainer. Spray the foam directly on the aligner tray and then pop it in your mouth — done! Over time, the foam will dissolve, killing bacteria and removing build-up that makes your retainer look yellow and cloudy.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have retainers that I use, and because they are used every night, they tend to become foggy and start getting a slight color to them. I used to soak them in hydrogen peroxide mouthwash, but that wasn’t really cleaning them. This cleaning foam has done wonders for removing the fog and restoring clarity to the retainers, and they smell clean every time I use them!" —Mlmpep

Get it from Amazon for $19.98.

22. 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. 

23. A Windex outdoor glass cleaner if you're tired of sighing in disappointment when you look at your dirty windows but ain't no way, ain't no how you're getting on a ladder to clean those floor-to-ceiling windows. Just attach the bottle of Windex to your hose, spray the solution, and you're done!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" —Helen Simmons

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.96.

24. A water bottle organizer so filling your Stanley and heading out the door each day is a fuss-free affair. 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.

www.amazon.com

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)!

25. A pack of stain-removing pads because owning a pet is messy but these pads are up to the task. Pee? Check! Poop? Check! Vomit? Check! (You can even use them to clean up your wine spills.) 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 coffee maker cleaner tablets that'll descale your machine, clean the internal parts, remove buildup, and make your morning cup of brew taste a lot better than it has tasted recently.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I just tried this coffee maker cleaner, and I'm actually pretty impressed! My coffee maker was starting to taste a bit off, like old pennies or something, yuck. After using the cleaner, it brewed the best cup of coffee in ages, seriously a game changer. The whole process was super easy too, not like a big production at all. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants better-tasting coffee!" —Eimy

27. A waterproof trash can for collecting the inevitable garbage that appears during school pickups and drop-offs, long car rides, and road trips.

Amazon

It comes with 10 trash bags.

Promising review: "This thing is amazinnggg! If you are (by nature) kind of a mess and unorganized, this will help with that, even if just a little. I usually put all my small trash items in my side door 'pocket,' and it ends up spilling, and then my car becomes a huge trash can time and time again. This car trash can is so easy to install and use. Anytime I’m opening a pack of smokes or gum or unwrapping a straw, I just pop the wrapper or whatever it is right in the trash can, and it’s never to be seen again! It’s helped keep my car clean and free of trash, and if I could give it 10 stars, I would!!" —Cody

Get it from Amazon for $9.87+ (available in nine colors).

28. And speaking of trash, a garbage guard to keep your trash bug-free for up to four months. It sticks to the inside of your garbage can and releases an odorless vapor that'll kill flies, maggots, roaches, and beetles. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Got an outdoor can, the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. I placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge, to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying and no flies/maggots! No apparent odor. It just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.) " —Michael E. Bradley

Get it from Amazon for $10.97.

29. A microchip pet feeder if you have to physically stand there and watch your kitties during mealtime to ensure that your one problem child doesn't eat their siblings' food. The feeder only opens when they recognize a specific cat's microchip, and closes when that cat steps away — so helpful for cases of overeating or different prescription diets.

Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I've had my microchip pet feeders from Sure Petcare for a couple of months now, and while it was a pricey investment, it's been worth every single penny and has alleviated a ton of stress around my cat's meals. One of my cats, Sneaky, always wants to eat his brother's food and has a tendency to be overweight. Separating them for meals just wasn't working — they would whine at the door and simply not eat enough unless they could eat side by side and have free access to food throughout the day — but I also couldn't be sure that my younger (and much smaller) cat, Chicho, was eating enough with Sneaky gobbling up part of his meals, too. When my vet started throwing around the word "diabetes" as a very real concern if Sneaky didn't start sticking to controlled diet every day, I knew I needed to finally cough up the money for microchip feeders — I mean, it'd be a drop in the bucket compared to the long-term cost of cat insulin. 

The setup was ridiculously fast, the open-close function works beautifully, and my cats learned how to use these almost immediately. Finally, Sneaky can *only* eat what's in his feeder, which allows me to control his calorie intake and see exactly how much food he's eating daily — and I can be sure that Chicho is getting *enough* food, too. This is also a fantastic solution if you have cats on different diets due to health reasons, and if one of them starts eating way less for some reason, you'll know immediately and be able to report that to your vet. I also love that the feeder comes with both split and regular bowls — I use the split bowls to serve my cats both dry food and wet food at once!

BTW, I have the basic microchip feeder (because it was the only option in stock at the time), but there's also a Wi-Fi-enabled option that connects to the Sure Petcare app for monitoring eating habits, weighing food portions, and more."

Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (feeder bowls available in four colors). 

30. A pair of embroidered Hoka Cliftons so the Venn diagram of what your podiatrist wants you to wear and what *you* and your personal style want to wear is a circle.
