1. A pair of fondue mugs for nights when you'd love nothing more than dunking some strawberries in chocolate...and not having to do a slew of dishes afterward. These look like such a fun indoor date night idea!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are super cute, heat up extremely well, and hold the perfect amount of whatever you decide to put in them. I will say, make sure you stir often; otherwise, whatever you have in them will burn! Great purchase, and will definitely use these over and over again." —Macee Smith

Get them from Amazon for $27.99 (available in two colors).

2. A stuffed waffle maker — this applause-worthy appliance is designed with a deep, bowl-like griddle that allows you to cook the batter with fillings (we're talking chocolate, fruit, cheese, meat...the works).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" —Adirondackdarling

Get it from Amazon for$49.99. 

3. A window-installed pet door so your pet can easily get in and out of the house, even if you have a rental. No more destroying doors by making tinier doors!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this! We didn’t have a good place to make a hole in the wall to our backyard but we do have low windows next to our fireplace, so it was a match to get this window door. It was super easy to install and we love the locking feature. We got a snow storm and it took a while for our garden beds to stop being muddy. We locked the door so kitty wouldn’t bring in mud. I will say it is a bit drafty, so we got an extra weather strip to secure the draftiness. Our kitty only took a couple of days to get used to it too. We put his food just outside the window and he had to get used to going out there to get his food. All in all it was a great buy!" —AlyHowell

Get it from Amazon for $75.75+ (available in a handful of shapes/sizes).

4. A silicone clip-on strainer that's dishwasher safe, attaches to any size pot or pan, and designed to save a bunch of space in your kitchen cupboards.

Promising review: "This is easy to use and now that I’ve had it a few weeks, I don’t know how I have lived without. Makes draining anything in water so much easier! Highly recommend." —Melissa L.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 16 colors). 

5. A set offrench fry clips to keep opened snacks fresh. This includes a magnetic holder to avoid stashing chip clips in a cluttered junk drawer. Funny, functional, AND organized?! These things are delicious. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are very cute and I love the magnet holder to stick on my fridge so they are easily accessible. Not sure about the durability, haven't used very long." —Save the Bees

Get a set of 12 clips from Amazon for $14.90. 

6. An LED fog-less mirror for couples who are one "get your beard hair out of the sink!" fight away from someone sleeping on the couch for good. Reviewers love using this in the shower as it prevents that very mess from ending up in the sink. Genius. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This deluxe shaving mirror saves me about 15 minutes in the morning. If you're anything like me, 15 minutes in the morning is like an hour in daytime hours. I really like not having to keep up with and apply the anti-fog sprays to the mirror, which only temporarily work (so I hear). Filling the back with water that goes in the back of the mirror only takes about 10 seconds and discarding the water after shaving takes about five seconds. Shaving in the shower with all the steam makes your shaving experience much closer and comfortable, I find." —Nicholas

Get it from Amazon for $39.95. 

7. A 24-pack of Hal's New York Vanilla Cream Seltzer Water — if you love cream soda, this *water* itches that sugary scratch, especially when you want something hydrating. Throw this in your refrigerator and your place is about to become the best soda shop (sans soda) in town. 

Amazon

When I tell you this is the first thing I stock up on when my paycheck comes in...believe it. I buy these in bulk, fill up the fridge, and then take my sweet time trying to make them last until the end of the month. My husband calls it my "treat water." It's beloved, and gets the shelf of honor in our fridge. 

Promising review: "After having these in NYC for a while, I had to start ordering them after I moved. They're great for cutting back on sodas or other sugary drinks. They are highly carbonated so be careful to relieve pressure slowly when opening the bottles." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in eight flavors).

8. A snazzy makeup brush UV sanitizer just might soothe your skin if you're prone to breakouts. The UV-C light inside is designed to kill 99.9% of the bacteria buildup on your brushes. Keep your skin clean while making yourself (and your bathroom) look fresh! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This first caught my eyes when I saw how chic and cute it is. Then, I found out it actually helps sanitize makeup brushes! I wear makeup regularly, but to be honest, I don't clean my brushes frequently enough. I found it kind of frustrating to clean my brushes. Not sure why, but it always takes a REALLY LONG TIME for my brushes to dry. This is such a lifesaver as I know I can sanitize my brushes every time I use them with just one click! I don't have to worry about skin issues caused by dirty brushes anymore! It also makes a really good/cute gift. Very happy with this purchase." —Cyn

Get it from Amazon for $89.

Use this and you'll easily be able to open search bars, minimize and open windows, take screenshots with your keys...you know, genius stuff.  

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This keyboard cover is amazing! The colors are bright and the design is cute. The quick key cheat sheet (as I like to call it) is a lifesaver! All of my coworkers ask me where'd I get it and always are impressed by the cheat sheet's detail. I chose this product only because the color scheme would look good with the pack of stickers I selected to sticker bomb my laptop, but it turned out to be a much more valuable asset to a new Apple user like myself!" —Bee

Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 

10. And a lightweight quilted laptop sleeve made with a waterproof nylon exterior and lined with fleece to keep your laptop scratch-free. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Going on a big trip soon and I bought this for travel. I am super obsessed with the quality and how light/soft it is. It's the perfect size for my laptop and acts as a cushion for other things in my backpack. It can be slightly tricky to open, I just slide one finger in and then expand my hand to open it but it has a magnetic-like closure. Love the color too, it's simple." —mandella cesena

Get it from Amazon for$32.99+(available in two sizes and nine colors). 

11. An Air Fort you can store flat (it's about the size of a sweatshirt when folded) and then inflate with any regular ol' box fan when your kids want to play! 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

In the market for a new box fan?

Promising review: "This is the best gift ever. High impact, easy to set up, so exciting for kids, but folds up SO SMALL. It’s maybe the size of a folded sweatshirt when it’s packed up? Honestly it's a parent's dream to have a fun activity that doesn’t require a ton of storage. I will keep this on my list of gift ideas for the future for other kids in my life!" —Lindsay W.

Get it from Amazon for $49.95+(available in 17 styles).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I needed this foot scrubber because I have balance issues, making it difficult to properly clean my feet and toes. The first time I used this, it tickled my feet. Now, I can use it every day without being tickled…it just takes time to get used to the sensation. 

The important part is how well this works. My feet and toes are clean. The design ensures that the sides of my feet are scrubbed and smooth after each use. I really like that this has suction cups and substantial weight so it doesn’t move all over the place when I’m using it. This is exactly what I needed." —Biscuit Lady

Get it from Amazon for $38.88 (available in four colors).

13. A pack of "Food Cubby" dividers designed for picky eaters of all ages. These suction to your plate, preventing foods and sauces from intermingling while you eat.

Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. 

Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee

14. A Baseboard Buddy that'll basically work like an eraser. This has an extendable handle that'll make cleaning tiny corners and often-ignored areas not just simple, but suuuper satisfying. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl

Get it from Amazon for $25.99.

15. A "Shower Cat" for folks who spend half their time in the shower making hair art on the walls, which inevitably ends up clogging the drain. TMI? This makes catching your hair *much* easier and gives it a proper place while you finish sudsing up. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs. 

Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in two colors).

16. A much-needed peanut butter knife with a brilliantly shaped blade that'll guarantee not a *drop* of your perfect peanut putty goes to waste. Hate getting peanut butter all over your knuckles when scraping out the container with a standard knife? Get this in your life. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I love this knife. You couldn't design a better knife for peanut butter if you tried. I bought a less expensive one, but returned it because the design was poor. There's no substitution for this quality product. Spend a couple dollars more, and get the best." —Beck

"You can use it for many things. It is strong and can get things out of deep blenders, like a Vitamix. You could even use it to spread icing on a cake! Best of all, it is perfect for stirring those large nut butter containers you get from the warehouse stores." —Neaner

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

17. A "flaming" humidifier sure to be a hit with avid readers who could use a little scent in the air and a tiny "fire" to create the *perfect* cozy cottage ambiance while they read.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the flaming humidifier in action. 

Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." —Benny

Get it from Amazon for$20.99+ (available in two colors and three sizes).

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. 

Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get togethers with friends and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $15.62.

19. And a grater with a built-in container to grate cheese without a mess of shavings ending up all over the place before it gets on your plate!

It also comes with three grating surfaces, a peeler, and a garlic crusher.

Promising review: "What an incredible product...truly! The concept is simple but this item puts it all together seamlessly — with bonus implements! Sturdy, compact, easy to use, clean, and store. What more could any cook want? The cutting area is safely designed with different shredding sizes possible. Bonus items are well constructed with blades and handles of noteworthy quality. Impressive package deal. Well priced. Very pleased!" —Krow

Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in two styles).

20. Cloning paste — if you've found that your houseplants are standing around stagnant, you're gonna *love* this stuff! This little formula helps encourage new growth and buds. It's technically made for orchids but it works on all sorts of plants! Begonias, string of pearls, pothos, you name it!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out the TikTok about this paste for information.

To use this spiffy stuff, just locate a node and peel away the bract to reveal the bud. Apply a small amount of the paste and in two to eight weeks, a clone will grow out of the node! Science is so satisfying. 

Promising review: "This product is just AMAZING!!! I waited a few months before writing this review because I wanted to test the product first. I am just AMAZED! I have to say...depending on the season and the place on the spike where you apply it, you either get a keiki or new flower spike (which is awesome!). Based on my experiments, the lower on the spike, the more chances to get a keiki. The higher on the spike, the more chances to get a new flower spike. If you apply it during winter (tropical area winter), you will more likely get flower spikes. If you apply it during summer (tropical areas), you will more likely get a keiki — at least that's what I observed!" —Anne-Isabelle Bonifassi

Get it from Amazon for $17.07.

21. Horizontal Parenting, a laugh-out-loud funny (and surprisingly clever!) book for parents who would happily do ANYTHING if they could lie down for just a minute.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I am so glad I ordered an extra pack of these. My goal for January was to organize the basement. I have TONS of plastic bins and whenever I need something, I have to open each to find what I’m looking for. I took a few hours the first weekend cleaning out and organizing everything and the bins. I took pictures of the contents of each bin, put one of these stickers on each bin then associated the pics with the sticker’s QR code and voila, done. IF YOU LIKE TO BE ORGANIZED, GET THESE STICKERS!" —Fred Labro

24. A dimmable LED car visor mirror for the commuter in your life who practically lives in their car. If you know they are totally putting their makeup on in the parking lot before work, give them a vanity-mirror as a visor! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Very large, very bright, but brightness is adjustable. You also have the choice of true white LED illumination or a softer incidence 'yellow'/natural light or you can run both simultaneously. Very large but would fit all sun visors. No magnification (that I am aware of), but its clarity makes you think it does. Battery is chargeable, but we have not needed to recharge it yet due to its long battery run time. It’s inexpensive and needed for anyone that loves to 'finish getting ready in the car.'" —Chris Cook

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors and in pairs).

25. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass so you can eat pickles to pass the time *without* the juice making a mess. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two styles).

Amazon

Promising review: "This refreshes my worn-out manicure very well. I apply this as a topcoat over my old manicure. It respreads and smooths out the polish and leaves it fresh and shiny. It's a bit pricey, but it does save me a lot of time and trouble not having to repolish my nails." —SoniaSophia

Get it from Amazon for $20.

28. A versatile travel harness seat with adjustable straps — this can roll up tiny enough to stash in a bag so you can stop for lunch the moment your kids start getting hangry, without worrying about whether or not the restaurant has a highchair for your youngest.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Y’all, this thing is amazing! My kitchen sink was completely clogged for four days. I’ve been trying to clear the drain with a different sink plunger that I already had and it didn’t do diddly squat. I was about to give up and call a plumber. Then I decided to order this one and it just arrived… it completely cleared the drain in like three minutes. So then I decided to take it to the bathroom sink that had been draining extremely slow and within a minute, I had the water running so quick and smooth again. I got the small one and it’s the perfect size for kitchen and bathroom sinks." —JNeen
