1. A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter that'll ensure you never have to worry about running out of lighter fuel again and features a flexible head that can easily get to those low candle wicks without you almost burning your fingers. Isn't that the dream?

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S.

"Another product I got from TikTok. It’s a necessity. No more struggling and almost burning yourself. Stays charged for days. A week at most if you use it frequently." —Nijada

Get it from Amazon for$16.99+ (available in eight colors and two packs).

2. A set of hair-tie bracelets because they look like normal arm candy, but are actually stretchy hair ties that you can wear on your wrist 24/7 without worrying about clashing with the day's outfit. Plus, you'll never not have a hair tie on hand, and that means a lot to a person always losing them!

Promising review: "I love these! These add the cutest touch to any outfit. They make you feel better about wearing a hair tie on your wrist. And they function great as both a hair tie and a bracelet! Not too tight to wear as either. Love them!" —Tiara Scheurell

3. Atwo-slice slim toaster that can fit in the tiny crawl spaces landlords like to call a kitchen... they're also great if you've already got several appliances on your countertop and have very little space left for anything else. This toaster features a crumb tray and one looong slot that can either fit two standard-size slices or one of those long pieces of sourdough that we all love. It's a win/win!

BTW, Bella has an entire line of compact kitchen items that you should *definitely* check out if you're looking to save space, but don't want to sacrifice on aesthetics. The color options are ridiculously cute!

Promising review: "The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estateon my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins, or bagels as well as a regular-width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color, which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don’t burn food, and the quality of the toast is just right, from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" —Joyce Hill

Get it from Amazon for$24.99 (available in two sizes and five colors).

4. APikk-it toolto clear out any tangled hair that may have gotten caught in your vacuum while making your home to spick and span. If you don't remove the hair, it'll eventually mess with your vac's functionality and suction powers — and we cannot have that!

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.

5. A Java Sock so you can comfortably carry your iced coffee without freezing your fingers off and to keep your bevvy cold for hours — at least, according to reviewers! If you love iced coffee (or any cold beverage, really), you know the struggle of having cold palms and water dripping on your clothes — this helpful invention solves that!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy this, but I absolutely love it! It keeps my drinks cold for hours, the ice stays solid without watering the drinks down, and it prevents condensation. Perfect for iced coffee, soda, or any glass cup. The patterns are adorable as well. I loved it so much I had to order another for my other car!" —Marta

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five sizes and tons of styles).

6. A pack of washable bra liners that'll ensure the always-dreaded under-boob sweat doesn't ruin your day or your outfit. This'll keep you comfortable, dry, and sweat-stain–free.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "These are so, so soft. I tuck them under my breasts and then ease my bra on top, and they stay in place all day. At the end of the day, they might be very damp, but my skin is comfy. Also, I'm able to rotate through them, letting them dry in between, and get a good three uses out of each before I wash them. Even then, they don't smell. Hand washing is best, but I've washed them with a mesh bag, and they were mostly ok. Easy to smooth out. I've also worn these without a bra. I needed to adjust them a bit, but I have never lost it. (My bra size is about 38 DDD)." —Leigh B

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four sizes and three colors).

7. The leak-proof (!!!) Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle because you can have your cake and eat it too....or in this case, you can have your straw without worrying about water leaking all over the place. This genius hydration station has a metal straw inside, with a silicone straw on top that locks in place to prevent spills. Bragging rights unlocked

www.instagram.com, Brumate

I own the30-oz version of the Era Tumbler, and it is really the best water bottle I've ever owned. I *never* worry about spills or leaks (and I mean NEVER). It's comfortable to hold and carry around, and I love the stainless steel interior that keeps my water cold. I can throw it in my bag and know everything inside is safe from water, and that the ice I put inside it in the morning will still be there in the evening. Basically — yes, it's worth it!

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Maitland Quitmeyer says:

"I have the Simple Modern one, too, and it's great for being at home and drinking water at the perfect temp. *But* if you're worried about leaking AT ALL (or prefer a metal + silicone combo straw to plastic), the Brumate Era is 100% wizardry, sorcery, and magic. It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours — I've had cold water stay COLD for ages in this bottle! The tapered base is also cupholder-friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist and throw it LITERALLY SIDEWAY in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all! And...if you've seen some of those videos about hidden mold in certain lids...know that this disassembles incredibly easily, so you can just toss the pieces in the dishwasher."

Get the 40-ounce size from Amazon for $44.99 (available in two sizes and 16 colors) or straight from Brumate for $44.99(available in two sizes and 16 colors!).

9. A nongreasy pomade hair wax stick to easily achieve the ~slickest~ bun or ponytail that will actually stay the slickest bun or ponytail all day long. This stick won't just hold your hairstyle, but will also keep all your flyaways at bay, giving you a sleek, polished look every single time.

10. A litter box enclosure disguised as furniture — perhaps one of the most genius inventions for pet parents. Its extra-large size is big enough to house the litter box, the litter bag, treats, and more. Some reviewers say it's perfect for bunnies, too!

19. A set of Stretchlace shoelaces that turns ~every~ shoe into a slip-on. With these stretchy elastic laces tied up, you can slip right into your kicks and head out the door without having to untie them from the last wear. Who has time to stop and tie (and re-tie) anyway? Hint: not you.

25. A magnetic necklace detangling clasp so tangled jewelry can be a thing of the past (and so will the worry of ruining your favorite pieces along with it). With this cool magnetic clasp, your necklaces will lie *right* where you want them to... and stay that way!

26. A set of refillable paint touch-up pens to ensure that those small nicks and chips don't cost you your deposit. Simply fill the pen with paint and go over the intended area! It'll be like that accidental wood-stained scratch never happened.

27. A set of adjustable mug organizers so you can use all the empty space above your kitchen cabinet shelves. These organizers make *every* mug a stackable one and will free up space for things like plates, bowls, or...more mugs.

28. A soup can safe to sneakily stow extra cash, watches, and other small valuables in plain sight. And if having a can of Beefaroni would seem out of place in your household, don't fret! There are several other options like sliced peaches, corn, and tomato paste, too.

29. An undetectable mouse jiggler great for those who need a quick break in between those long eight hours without announcing it to everyone on Gchat, Teams, or Slack. This gadget will keep you "active" while you're busy on a coffee run or walking your dog around the block!

33. A set of convenient suctioning "Food Cubby" dividers for picky eaters who can't stand when their foods touch! This is an easy solution that both kids and adults can appreciate. Plus, the suction at the bottom ensures that the dividers won't move an inch.

34. A set of bed bands to keep your fitted sheets secure so you aren't constantly tucking them back in over and over (and over) again. Place them under your mattress and use the suspender-like clasps to keep your sheets in place until it's time to wash 'em.

36. Plus, some reusable air fryer liners to replace foil and parchment paper for a dishwasher-safe option — the ultimate "work smarter, not harder" move. And because they're made of silicone, you'll get years of use!

38. A blow-dryer holder so that you no longer have to deal with sore or cramping arms when drying your hair. It'll stay in the perfect position, which means waaay less effort from you. Yes, please!

40. A microfiber window blind cleaner so there'll be no more dust flying your way every time you open and close the blinds. With three blades that clean two blinds at once, it makes things SO much easier and faster.

41. A laundry guard because clean clothes falling behind the washer/dryer machine might be the most annoying. Thing. EVER! This clever guard is adjustable and magnetic to help it fit your particular model, too. If you're tired of continuous lost socks, go ahead and add to cart asap.
