45 Mundane Products Adults Might Be A Little Bit *Ahem* Horny For

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-07-08 15:03

1. A meat shredder that'll quickly become the #1 tool in your kitchen. Start indulging in shredded pork, chicken, and tofu weekly, without spending ages on shredding prep with a couple of forks. Just toss in your cooked meat and twist a couple of times! Your aching wrists and happy stomach will thank you! 

www.amazon.com

I bought this after seeing it in a coworker's BuzzFeed article (you better believe I trust a BF review!) aaand it is witchcraft. I recommended it to my grandmother after using it. You don't know Nene, but if you did, you'd know recommending a kitchen tool to the *elite* chef in my family is a BIG deal. I bought it as a time-saver. I tossed an entire boiled chicken breast into this thing, twisted it twice, and it was perfectly shredded. I recommended it because I think it's a massively useful tool for folks with limited mobility or frustrating arthritis. This one's worth the cupboard space, folks! 

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of those 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I had taken a video, but I didn’t. It didn’t move/slip from the counter, and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" —Ruthie V

2. A foaming drain cleaner for folks who are desperately trying to convince themselves that chores are FUN. If you've got a sink or bathtub drain that is worryingly slow, this gentle *powerhouse* foam can pull up gunk and clean out pipes, helping prevent future buildup for quite a bit. That is, until you get bored and really wanna have some fun playing with foam again.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner? I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out, and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer

3. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes with a clinical strength formula that'll last up to seven days (!!!) for folks who get seasonal depression whenever the sun has them sweatin' it for no good reason.

www.amazon.com

As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months!

Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

4. A daily planner to help you track school schedules, chores, and even your water intake if your cleaning goals this year are more about cleaning up your cluttered mind. Thanks, A-types, for finding a way to keep the house clean *and* stay hydrated...with a planner.

Amazon

Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

Promising review: "Bought this last week. Love the setup. I can begin in the morning and then reflect at night. It covers everything from what you're grateful for to what you ate that day. I will definitely be using these for a long time!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!" —Chloe

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in various other styles and sizes).

5. Built's "Puff Protein Bars" that'll make you the envy of everybody on your commute to work when they see that *you* have a fun breakfast. Let me be the first to tell you, these things are too good for this world. I don't know how Built was able to pack chocolate-covered marshmallows with 17 grams of protein, but I'm glad the witchcraft worked because these are life-changing. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Here's what BuzzFeederEmma Lord (who convinced *me* to start eating Built Bars) has to say about them: "Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!"

6. An oscillating tower fan with six speeds (we're talkin' up to 24 feet per second velocity), three modes, and a surprisingly quiet design despite its power. If you're intimidated by installing an A.C. in your fourth-floor window...you're gonna be a big fan of this gadget.

www.amazon.com

This includes a remote control and LED lights that turn off in sleep mode. Spiffy!

Promising review: "Cools like magic. Great fan. It’s super hot this summer, and I would not survive without it. Several speeds and functions. Quiet. Durable thus far, and it has run 18 hours a day every day since May. I didn’t think the remote was a big deal, but now I wouldn’t want to be without it. Would recommend and buy again." —Javygirl

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three colors and two styles and with wifi).

7. A travel brush with a hidden compartment, sure to be looked upon with envy by your overpacked travel buddies as they desperately try to find some open space on the counter of your hotel bathroom. Trying to fit seven people in two rooms has not worked out as well as your friends thought it would. But hey, *you've* got a brush with enough room for toothpaste and tampons! You're doing great.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought this brush to replace my old travel brush. Love the storage compartment! Didn't realize that it actually CAME with hair ties, clips, and bobby pins (didn't notice these in the description). Such an amazing surprise. And the brush is great! Detangles and smoothes wonderfully. Even tamed my staticky hair. Love it!" —Crazy cat mama

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors).

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. 

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H.

Amazon

Promising review: "This item is super easy to use and cuts well every time. I've used it at least five times already and it works perfectly. It's such a great time-saver and I've even come back to buy more for other friends as a cute little gift. This little helper makes me actually enjoy wrapping presents!!

Amazon

Promising review: "This scale with a built-in cup is the best thing for my baking tools. No more whipping out 1,000,000 cups. Also, [rather than] always trying to figure out grams or cups, now I just press a button, and it tells me. I love this." —Corin lonigro

Help take care of the things that... take care of the things that... need to be done in your life!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

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.

12. Medicube's "Zero Pore" Pads, a beloved Korean skincare secret with a magical mix of lactic and salicylic acid that'll redefine what "smooth" means to your skin. The dual-textured toner pads both exfoliate and refine your pores, making your face feel positively silky soft.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily and it’s been a couple of weeks and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It’s great for the value and I’ll definity be repurchasing these." —Ee El

13. A pack of Snug Plugs so you can breathe easy knowing your router is, in fact, plugged in and working.

Snug Plugs is a small business that specializes in home improvement products. 

Promising review: "Many of my appliances have a loose fit on my outlets, but with these in now, I don’t worry about my appliances being in a shortage because they fit so loose. Definitely a quick, inexpensive fix to an annoying problem I had. Very satisfied." —Tania B. Delgado

Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $10.99.

14. A TBH *too* nice Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop created to both vacuum and mop at the same time. Unlike our old dummy mops, this robot has a separate tank that stores the dirty water, and it retains 90% of the stuff, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing!

Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." —Customer

Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in four styles).

15. A smooth edge can opener — a Shark Tank favorite that'll remove the entire top off of any can (it's got a universal fit!), helping you take your canned drinks to the next level. Pop off the top of your Diet Coke and add in some ice cream, mixers, ice, or whatever else you have. Then safely sip away! I'm feeling refreshed just thinking about it. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Did I need to order one of these when I had extra Amazon points? Absolutely not! Did I order it anyway, especially after my wife thought it was cool? Absolutely! Does it make beer in a can taste like fresh draft beer? Absofreakinlutely!!!!" —Ryan Jenkins

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven styles).

16. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller so that cleanup is a breeze and it doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our huskies, but woof, shedding is their greatest skill. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true: you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

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

17. A retinol body lotion — sure, retinol is great for your face, but there's a whole *body* of skin it can help out! This particularly dreamy, creamy formula helps promote skin cell turnover using retinol, while the ferulic acid firms skin to promote natural skin tightening. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlice

Get it from Amazon for$19.99 (also available in a two-pack).

19. 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 (available in two colors and multipacks).

Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" —Kathleen Petro

Get it from Amazon for $123.59+ (available in three styles).

Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They sell a wide variety of beauty products and hair accessories for all hair types. 

Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." —Meghan

Promising review: "Do we need it? No. But it might be my favorite unnecessary gadget purchase of all time. It leaves our countertops uncluttered, the no-touch sensor lets me grab a paper towel with dirty hands, and I feel like we use fewer paper towels overall. It’s easy to install, easy to program, and easy to replace the roll." —Mlc

Get it from Amazon for $82.99 (available in three colors).

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

Promising review: "MAGIC. HOLY CRAP, I LOVE THIS MITT! This cleared up 80% of the 'chicken skin' I have INSTANTLY after one use. Also, it took off way more dead skin than any scrub I’ve ever used. I never write reviews, so I had to when I got this and loved it." —Cheyanne

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors and as a pair).

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 $16.95.

26. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream — whether you've noticed your neck skin practically hanging on for dear life thanks to that darn gravitational pull or find your décolletage creased in the center from side sleeping, the glycerin and aloe in this formula can give that delicate skin some much-needed hydration, while the salicylic acid can gently exfoliate dead skin cells.

Amazon

This product has over 50,000 5-star ratings!

Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize, it would be one of my favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this. That's why I gave it five stars!" —Tessa Forbes

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was amazed how real this looks, even side by side with the real thing. Of course, when you turn it over, you can see the compartment, and you will have to add weight if you want it to feel real, but just sitting in the pantry, it looks real!" —Brenda

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Super happy with these pillowcases — both sides are fairly cool, but the cooling side never warms up, which is wonderful in 110-degree California summers. They do not smell (something I worry about with nontraditional linen fabrics). They do tend to get a little wrinkly, but since they zip up, they quickly smooth out." —Tonia

Get them from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in four sizes and 12 colors).

Amazon

It comes with six hangers that can hold five garments each, or 10 if you double them up!

Promising review: "I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white, and the edges are smooth." —CAGH

Plus, the packaging will make your bathroom counter look beautiful all on its own. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." —Meg B. 

Get it from Amazon for $5.59

33. A tub of Reese's flavor C4 whey protein powder that'll turn you into a protein powder convert. This drink mix is formulated with 25g of high-quality whey protein to build and preserve lean muscle. And, despite ALL ODDS, it somehow has 0g of added sugar. I'm literally drinking this as I write this...and I feel like my tastebuds are lying to me because it's so good. It's like drinking CANDY, folks! 

Amazon

Like I said above, I've got this in my coffee at this very moment. Which isn't as serendipitous as it sounds, because I drink this every day. After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I reluctantly embraced the world of protein drinks. I had my baby over a year ago but recently started training for a half marathon, so I've kept up my protein intake. I feel like I've tried everything on the market now and nothing (nothing, I say!!) tops the taste of this stuff. If you have a sweet tooth and want to treat yourself to something that tastes good *and* makes your body feel good...this is the stuff! 

Get it from Amazon for $44.99(available in three flavors).

34. AnSPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar, a K-Beauty *blessing* for anyone who is sick and tired of goopy, sticky sunscreen that leaves their eyes watering from harsh chemicals. The curved balm applies gently onto your skin — rather than pulling — which also makes it a breeze to put on. Simply keep this in your bag and swipe it on (even over your makeup) when you're in the sun, because sunscreen should be applied *several* times a day. Nothing makes that practice easier than this stuff!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. 

The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin; like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Get it from Amazon for $16.98

35. A set of breathable, seamless thongs specifically loved by several reviewers who "hate" thongs. Folks say these are comfortable all day *and* claim they're comparable to (and even better than!) brands like Skims and Victoria's Secret. I'm sold. Like, literally. Buying now. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "After I tried these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended. I worked at VS for three years, and tried every 'seamless' thong under the sun — at the store and otherwise — all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren’t that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don’t hold sweat. They don’t roll. They don’t move around.  I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. They’re wildly comfortable for a thong, and that's from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I’ve ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they’re my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don’t exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It’s sorcery, I’m convinced." —Ebony

Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. 

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw them over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung

Promising review: "Great addition to my kitchen essentials. Its durability is impressive, and it is straightforward to use. What makes it a keeper is how easy it is to clean. The quality is top-notch, and it's definitely worth the price. It stores butter well and fits perfectly in my fridge. Plus, the color adds a nice touch to my kitchen decor. Overall, it's a fantastic kitchen gadget." —Tiffany Mueller

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Skywin is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. 

Promising review: "I’ve been using this product now for several months. I’m honestly surprised by how something so simple can be so helpful and save me money. Just by tilting my laundry detergent jug on this, I’m able to get every last drop of detergent out of it, which prevents wasting detergent and saves me money. I’ve never had issues with clogging, and it holds a standard-size bottle or an oversized jug. It also helps to keep my laundry closet looking clean and organized. Good buy!" —Jenn Madonna

41. A "flossing toothbrush" designed with two different types of bristles — one layer has classic firm bristles, while the longer layer is extra thin (10 times thinner, in fact!) and intended to clean deep between the cracks in your teeth and over your gums — just like floss. If you have sensitive teeth and love a deep clean, you're sure to love ~brushing up~ on your dental care game with this.

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

I use these and I love them! I used to use an electric one, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these. Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night, and I definitely see a difference in that area in particular.

Plus, using oil on wet hair before blow drying cuts down on your dry time! It's heat-safe up to 450 degrees, so no need to part ways with your beloved heat tools.

Promising review: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn’t leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower, when my hair is still damp, I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on, and then after I blow dry it, I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast, and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara Klein

Get it from Amazon for $14.50+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four formulas).

43. An airtight Deli ProKeeper, which just might have you feelin' star-struck if you've dabbled in the world of FridgeTok (and if you haven't, *please* treat yourself to the joy that is FridgeTok). This is specifically designed to keep deli meat and cheese fresh. I'm 31 years old and still haven't found a proper way to store cheese without it molding too fast, so you better believe I'm buying this right along with you.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." —IrishEyes

Get it from Amazon for $18.13.

44. A wireless charging desk and mousepad that'll be *literally* life-saving for (the phones of) anyone who mercilessly keeps their cell's battery around 10%, 100% of the time. With this, you'll charge your phone, AirPods, keyboard, and mouse without even realizing you're doing it. Just plop them down on the pad and watch as your tech charges up in an instant!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Loved putting my phone down and having it charge while working and not having to think about it. The added bonus of having it look good with a wireless mouse and keyboard setup. The mouse works wonderfully on the pad. The pad feels sturdy and will last a long time. Ordered the medium, and thankfully, it worked out that it fit my setup area perfectly. Overall, great item to have for my workspace." —Ken Situ 

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in a small brown size and a large black size). 

45. A Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer sure to be loved by anyone who thinks an aesthetic upgrade is the *best* kind of upgrade. Feel fashion-savvy and clean with this aloe vera-infused hand sanitizer in your bag. The flora scent is practically perfume *and*, unlike most sanitizers, this formula is moisturizing! Get this, and you'll constantly wanna give it a hand.

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. 

Promising review: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it’s pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it’s extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I’m especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feeling tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what’s not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R.
