1. A magnetic dryer ball holder to make laundry day a fuss-free affair. Instead of rooting around your laundry room looking for one of the dozen dryer balls you swear you own (and which have all inevitably rolled behind the dryer), you can easily grab one from this organizer. Attach this holder to the side of your machine or a nearby shelf... *chef's kiss*

Amazon, www.amazon.com

You can also use it to store tennis balls!

Promising review: "So one of the reasons I didn’t use dryer balls before is because where do you put them when you’re not using them? How do you dry them in between uses? This answers both. It works great, and I love how the balls roll down to dispense. Everyone wants to play with it when they first see it." —Meghan

Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

2. A pack of towel clips that'll prevent kids and pets from pulling down the towel. Or, maybe you have neither of those things, yet your hand and kitchen towels always end up on the ground.

Amazon

Promising review: "This clip is amazing. No more towels falling on the floor. It was becoming a routine thing since my cat thinks it's fun to pull the kitchen towels off the oven. Not now, bad kitty! Great product...wish I had bought one sooner!" —Joanna

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.59.

3. A time-saving fruit and veggie divider because quartering grapes by hand...yeah, no thank you!! Parents swear this thing is so convenient because it is easy enough and safe enough for their kiddos to use — and the little ones find it fun to use too!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the fruit and veggie divider in action. 

Promising review: "If you have toddlers, get it — especially if you're on the fence. I needed something for grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and other small fruits and veggies, we go through so much. My breakfast was getting cold long before I was done cutting fruit for two toddlers. Most cutters only do one grape or berry, but this one can do several grapes and a small handful of blueberries. We will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it in this house." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.65. 

4. A set of portable suction cup blackout curtain shades if you just don't want to commit to installing blackout curtains but still need total darkness to sleep. You can even bring them with you if you move or if you go on vacation.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "My husband and I are very impressed by this blackout curtain! My husband works at night, so we needed this to make his room dark during the day. He sleeps so much better with this curtain. I also appreciate that it has suction cups so we can remove it easily and take this curtain anywhere. The suction cup got weak after a few months. But I applied some water to it, and it's working very well again! I feel like this also blocks some cold air or hot air from the window, too." —Sarah G

Get it from Amazon for $23.80+ (available in five colors and multipacks). 

5. An expanding shower liner so your shower feels less like a 1-by-1-foot box. This genius liner curves away from your body so you feel like you have more space, and you're not constantly pushing away a shower curtain that blows toward you.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a tiny bathroom in an old apartment building with an untreated window that needs to be covered with a shower curtain inside my shower. Every time you'd shower, you would be attacked by curtains from both sides. That is, until I purchased this curtain. It gives so much more room in the shower, like a curved shower rod, but without all that hardware and work associated with it. It's weighted enough so it doesn't move. I'm no longer attacked by my shower curtains. I 100% would purchase again" —Brittany Hopkins

Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in five styles).

6. A bulb changer for homeowners with ultra-high ceilings or just a desire to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground for bulb changes — I don't blame ya! It works on nonsmooth bulbs that regular suction cups won't adhere to, and it has built-in leveling features to ensure you screw in the bulb evenly.

www.amazon.com

Just so you know, this is only the gripper tool — not the pole. If you need the pole, you can select that style in the listing.

Promising review: "We have 10-foot ceilings, and one of our overhead floodlights was starting to blink on and off. I have an 8-foot ladder, but rather than hauling that into the house and climbing up on it, I got online to see what I could find. I had an old 10-foot car wash pole, and that worked perfectly with the bulb changer — so much easier than the hassle of a ladder. After replacing my bad light, I then wondered about changing my stairway light, 16 feet up from the stairs landing. Luckily, we had bought a second-story window-washing kit a couple of months ago, which included a four-piece extending pole, so I thought I would try that out and see how it would be. It’s a little tricky holding steady that high up, but when the need arises, I think it’ll work just fine. So all-in-all, I’m quite happy with this, and it’ll make a great tool to keep stored away waiting for the next light bulb failure." —Patrick

Get it from Amazon for $19.83+ (available with the pole).

7. A Pikk-it tool to remove tangled hair that's lodged in your vacuum head, totally messing with your vac's absorption powers and making you wonder if it's time for a no machine. No need to drop $100+ on a new model when you have this in your toolbox.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush.

Promising review: "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 $8.99.

8. A water dispenser leveler that'll probably elicit a literal "OMG" from you now that you know there is a solution to the annoying problem of it being nearly impossible to fully fill a glass with water from the fridge because of the current angle of the spout.

Packard 3D Designs / Etsy

Packard 3D Designs is a Maryland-based small business run by mechanical engineer Austin Packard.

Promising reviews: "Game changer for our fridge. We had to adjust our shelves a bit, but it was way worth it to have this thing fit!" —Alex McGee

"This has made getting water from my refrigerator much easier for my grandkids and me." —Susan

Get it from Packard 3D Designs on Etsy for $25 (available in white or gray).

9. 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.

Amazon

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).

10. An outlet extender if your bed, couch, cabinets, etc., can't lie flat against the wall due to a pesky cord 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 and a three-prong design).

11. Some washable pee pads so costly single-use pee pads are just...not a thing you have to buy anymore. Bonus: These aesthetically pleasing pee pads definitely don't look like your average pee pads.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These pads have saved me tons of money on wee wee pads. Easy to wash. I use vinegar in the washer along with my detergent, and the vinegar keeps the pee smell out. I was washing them in just detergent at first, but could smell a little pee odor, but after adding vinegar, I have had no problem at all. They are very durable, and I have never had any leaks on the floor. I will buy more of these." —Linda

Get a two-pack for $14.99+ (available in six sizes and eight prints).

12. 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 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 $20.99.

13. A spinning water bottle organizer to house your extensive collection of jumbo water bottles. This lazy Susan-style water bottle holder can accommodate up to six 40-oz. Stanleys, Starbucks tumblers, and more.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have three daughters, which means I have a ton of Stanley cups. They do not fit in my cupboard, so we bought this to see if it would help. It is quite big on the counter, but we put it in the corner, and that seems to fit. Does hold the cups perfectly, and has helped clean out my cupboard a little bit." —Mara Mobley

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six colors).

14. Some washing machine cleaning tablets that'll clean and freshen the inside while dissolving residue. You keep your washing machine open when it's not in use yet it still smells moldy. What gives?

Amazon

They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.

Promising review: "I noticed a funny smell in my laundry room and realized it was coming from my washer. I bought these and tried them the same day I got them. Ran the washer on hot and open the lid midway through to see the washer was full of gunk and debris and things that this cleaner brought up. Once the cycle was done there was no more smell. My washer was clean. This product is seriously amazing. I wish I found it sooner." —Amazon Customer

Get six tablets from Amazon for $10.44.

15. And a pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets, because they clean your machine as it runs. No need to sigh in frustration every time you open your dirty dishwasher to remove your "clean" dishes.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Convenient, easy, quick way to keep the dishwasher fresh and working at peak." —Amazon Customer

"I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scale 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, you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" —Jenny

Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.

16. Relatedly, a dirty dishwasher indicator if you find yourself thinking, "What's it gonna be today?" when you open your dishwasher. If your household doesn't consistently flip the clean/dirty dishwasher magnets, try this instead! It sits inside your dishwasher, so you know if dishes are clean or dirty depending on whether the container has water in it.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have been looking for a dishwasher done indicator to use on a stainless steel front (no magnets). This is the BOMB. NO moving parts. No flimsy clips. No tape, glue, or magnets. Simply slip it over the edge of the bottom basket, and you are good. The sturdy clip does not flex, so there is no wear and tear. The action of the washer fills up the tube. DONE. The first time you open the door after washing, tip out the tube, and you are ready again. Hooray...something that works." —MRMACHINE of Raleigh

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

17. A pair of hat racks so you can actually see all the hats you own. So simple. So smart!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased these because my husband and I have a lot of ball caps. These worked really well for us. They came with two different installation options: something you could screw into the wall and an adhesive. We went for the adhesive option. We installed two in our closet. Easy to stack hats on top so they are out of the way and organized." —Erin Adkins

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors).

18. An onion holder for a more secure grip and more evenly sized slices of onions, tomatoes, lemons, eggs, potatoes, and fruits. You can even use it as a meat tenderizer!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $8.98.

19. A no-tools-required dual-showerhead to make tandem showers a romantic experience instead of fighting with your partner because someone is roasty toasty under the showerhead, and the other person is shivering in the back of the tub. Parents love this thing for getting kids in and out of the shower without fights over the water.

www.amazon.com

Boona is a small business on a mission to make showers more enjoyable, whether you're showering alone or with a partner. 

Promising review: "This is a high-quality product that’s straightforward to install. The water pressure is incredible! It’s like a brand-new shower. You can adjust which showerhead the water comes out of individually or both simultaneously. It’s a game changer for our kids, so they don’t fight over the water anymore!" —Taylor 

Get it from Amazon for $249+ (available in three colors and with or without a second showerhead). 

20. A magnetic soap holder that'll spare you from touching gunky soap bars that sit in their juices between showers. 🤮 Just press the magnet into the bar of soap and it'll adhere to the included base so your soap can dry out between uses and last a long longer.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Who knew that the solution to all of my soap bars getting mushy and gross was this small magnet? It’s aesthetic in my bathroom and holds any size soap — it really is an ingenious invention. It adhered very well to my mirror and was easy to install. A true game changer." —Irene

Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

21. A standing weeder because the worst part of gardening is kneeling for hours, plucking weeds. My back hurts just thinking about it! Thankfully, this tool has three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing.

www.amazon.com

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based, family-owned small business.

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Get it from Amazon for $39.97.

22. And a crack weeder tool if your knuckles are scratched and bloodied after a session of sidewalk weed pulling. Not anymore! This stainless steel tool is designed to get into tight sidewalk cracks and remove stubborn thistles, weeds, and moss with ease.

www.amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three sizes).

23. A renter-friendly, rechargeable battery–powered wall sconce so you can make up for your apartment's abysmal lighting with an actually cute light fixture that doesn't require you to kiss your security deposit goodbye by drilling into the wall or hiring an expensive electrician.

Get it from Poplight for $99 (available in seven colors).

24. A wall-mounted retractable clothes rack for anyone who lacks a dryer or a lot of extra space. Each rack can hold up to 60 pounds, making it a great drying rack or extra storage for winter clothes in the garage.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We wanted something to help us keep our clothes off the floor and chair, and this was by far our favorite option. We really like how we have options on how much space we want to use at a time (i.e., one or two and with or without the bar), and it doesn't look too obnoxious on our wall. It was easy to install and has been very sturdy so far!" —Joshua

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in five colors).

25. A magnetic screen door to let in the cool breeze (while keeping *out* the buggies) and prevent yourself from having to let your dog out every 10 minutes. Why do 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???

www.amazon.com

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 three sizes).

26. A pack of carborundum sponges that are the heavy hitters you'll want for stains and gunk that no other sponge is strong enough to handle.

www.amazon.com

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 4 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 $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses).

27. A doorbell cover because a delivery person always seems to drop by the minute your little one has gone down for a nap. Or maybe your dog goes absolutely bonkers when the doorbell rings...and it's always a random solicitor selling something you don't want. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This works on any type of video or standard doorbell. Stickers are included.

Promising review: "Caring for my mom, who has Parkinson's and dementia, I’ve had to deal with startling sounds like the doorbell, which can be really distressing for her. This has been a game-changer. This sign is easy to install with no tools needed and fits perfectly on our doorbell." —Donna

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

28. Some Command cord bundlers if your house is full of gadgets and gizmos aplenty, and their cords are ugly and sprawled over every surface of your home. Tie them up neatly and stick 'em to your devices so you never have to go rooting around for a rubber band.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve only used it on a few appliances, but the one getting the most action would be the one on our coffee maker. It can’t be adhered to surfaces that get hot (like a slow cooker), so I was able to find a spot that doesn’t when we use it, and it has held up great so far. I’ve been using it for a few months, and so far, so good. I hate having cords trailing around on the counter, and this helped fix that. Worth the investment." —TravelBuff

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.99.

29. A set of surprisingly glam velvet slipcovers so you can leave that $$$ sofa in your cart. Revamp your sad, stained armchair or couch with a slipcover, and — BAM! — new (kinda) couch!

Check out a TikTok of the art frames in action.

Promising review: "Wish I'd known about these with my first kid or my second. Now, I'm on my third, and our kitchen is littered with art projects. These were a great solution to clear out the clutter and make my kitchen look less like a kindergarten classroom. The frames store A LOT of art in them, and each kid has their own frame and can decide which picture to put on display. Magnetic case makes it easy to open but stays shut when it's supposed to." —probooks627

Get it from Amazon for $14.53+ (available in 10 colors and packs of 2 and 4).

31. An enamel paint to rewind the clock on metal appliances that look well used. Swipe it on scratched or rusted fridges, bathtubs, metal bed frames, and washers/dryers, and you'll swear your appliances look straight from the sales floor.

Some reviewers even use it to redo their countertops or sinks, although you might want to use an acrylic sealer afterward if you decide to do that! According to one reviewer, it's fantastic for vintage appliances, too.

Promising review: "Oh my goodness! This stuff is amazing! I remodeled my bathroom, and the washer and dryer looked terrible. One coat of this, and they look brand new! I’m going to add another coat today just to make it extra durable." —Linda Forester

Get a quart from Amazon for $26.98.

32. An octopus-shaped stem support that'll help keep your plants supported and growing upward. If your plants are climbers or top-heavy (this is natural for plants like bougainvillea, ivy, jasmine, monstera, and philodendron) and are leaning and flopping everywhere, you'll wanna grab one!
