If You Want More Than One Thing From This List, Congratulations: You May Be A Responsible Adult

1. SweetLeaf Drops so you can save yourself a trip to the coffee shop and avoid starting the day with too much sugar while still making a mighty fine cup of coffee. Remember when we used to eat Butterfingers for breakfast? Sigh, me too. Fortunately, these droppers make a BIG difference with your basic homebrew. 

Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant in 2023, and it pretty much killed my Starbucks runs. Needing to control my sugar intake meant making coffee at home was much easier, and in turn, I feel like I've tried everything to make a sweet coffee that's actually worth drinking. This stuff did the trick! Unlike other alternative sugar drinks, these actually taste like the flavor on the label (rather than just tasting sickly sweet). My husband loves them in Diet Coke and I love them in coffee, so they've become a staple on our counter's caffeine corner. 

Promising review: "This syrup is just enough to add a little touch of sweetness and flavor to any drink. I use it mostly for smoothies and frozen coffee. The taste is subtle and not overwhelming. It smells HEAVENLY. If you like sweet things but trying to cut back on sugar, this is it!" —Ashley Smith

Get the 4 oz. vanilla version from Amazon for $17.94.

2. A stainless-steel mixing bowl featuring three grater inserts and a nonslip bottom — go ahead and grate cheese right over your freshly prepped salad and serve it in the same bowl. Ahhh, just picture that easy cleanup now.

Amazon

Promising review: "So many positive features! Lid, nonslip, slicing tools, great size, on and on. My husband has used it and regaled its value. I’ve used it and found it useful and versatile. Great kitchen tool! Great value!" —RA 

Get it from our Goodful line on Amazon for $29.10+ (available in two colors).

3. A lock bag for anyone who has been keeping their most important papers somewhere less than *safe*. This is even fire- and waterproof!

Amazon

Promising review: "I'm loving my new safe storage for important documents. I now have a place to keep passports, my wedding license, car titles, mortgages, and wedding photos. If disaster happens I can have my mind at ease. I love that it has a fireproof zipper, a code lock design, and a strong handle that adds storage security and carrying safety." —Jenn A

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 

4. A handy Souper Cubes freezer tray — with this tray you can store notoriously hard-to-freeze things like soups and sauces (and it's ~souper~ easy!). The thought of thawing individual portions of soup has my all-too-adult heart all aflutter.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

This is BPA-free and dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned half-cup and one-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time, but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in five colors and in two-packs).

5. A versatile bag clip to treat your Gucci with the love and respect it deserves — it's hard work looking that pretty!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a very heavy, large purse that is a bottomless pit. One time I put my purse on the back of my chair at a cafe and the whole chair flipped over, that is how heavy my bag is. I was looking for something so I could hook my purse on things so it wasn’t sitting on the floor and was more accessible. I love this little gadget. I have used it on everything from bathroom stalls to tables to grocery carts. This thing really grips. All of my girlfriends love it and have gotten it for themselves." —Jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in nine styles).

6. A roll-up drying rack made with metal grates covered in soft silicone that'll prevent scratches and take up basically no storage space. Roll this on top of the sink when in use and tuck it away in a drawer when the dishes are done! It dries fast, so no worries about drippings in your drawers.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is very sturdy and it allows air into cups, pans, etc. to dry easily – unlike a drying pad. It holds heavy pans with no problem. The color is soft and goes great with my white and gray countertops and it's extremely functional. It's easy to clean, just roll it up and store it under the sink. Highly recommend. 👍🏻" —Denise

Get it from Amazon for $21.98+ (available in three sizes). 

7. A TubShroom for keeping your drain clog-free, preventing you from dealing with any ~hairy~ situations in the future. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, but with this it appears I won't be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths and this collects the hair. It does not seem to slow down the flow of water down the drain significantly. I'm very impressed. You don't know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!" —Aaron Morlock

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six styles).

8. A set of magnetic glass spice jars to add some ~spice~ to your kitchen decor while tidying up at the same time. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am in love with my magnetic spice jars! I recently moved to a small apartment and don't have the counter or wall space to store spices or a spice rack, so magnetic jars it was! I love how these have a decorative feel while providing a secure way to store the spices. Unlike other magnetic spice jars I feel that these add an extra flair to displaying your assorted spices." —rae.m.wri

Get a 12-pack of small jars from Amazon for $70 (available in five bundles).

9. An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip you can use if you'd prefer your furniture actually be directly against the wall, thank you very much. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is awesome! We bought one in the office to stop a nearby chair from continuously hitting the outlet plugs. It solved the problem right away. So we ordered three more to use anywhere there is bulk on the wall. It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, it's clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!" —Jay

Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in four sizes and two styles).

10. A pack of spin hair pins — these are gonna hold your hair tight no matter how much you move, saving you from constantly readjusting your 'do throughout the day. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

One of these coils is as strong as 20 (!) standard hair pins. Bad hair days are officially extinct.

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).

11. An under-the-sink water filtration system so you can grab a glass and drink straight from the sink, knowing it's already filtered to perfection.

Amazon

It has a two-step filter that removes 99.99% of contaminants, and it comes with direct connect hoses to hook right up to the standard 3/8" valves in US kitchen sinks. It's designed to be installed in under three minutes.

Promising review: "We have town water and it seems they are putting more and more chlorine in it every year. We should be getting used to it and tasting it less and less, not more! The refrigerator filters are super expensive and weren't cutting it. Every time I put a glass to my mouth it smelled like a swimming pool. I searched the internet and decided to give this a try due to the positive reviews and affordability. Wow! Easy install (I'm an avid DIYer). And the taste! The chorine taste is just gone! No more overpriced fridge filters for us. I love that the filter replacement procedure is basically the same as a fridge. Just twist and remove. We love it so much I teed off the fridge line and put a dispenser at our sink as well. The flow on this thing is just amazing! And the water tastes great! Don't waste your money on the expensive, complicated ones. My parents have a three-chambered, name brand filter at their house. It was expensive, the replacement filters are expensive, it is a pain in the petunias to replace the filters, and the flow rate is pathetic! But guess what! Our water from this filter tastes just as good as theirs at a fraction of the price, plus it's way more convenient, plus the flow rate is way better. I just can't say enough. Love, Love it! You will too!" —BJ

Get it from Amazon for $59.49+ (available in three styles). 

12. A can of fire extinguishing spray with a design made to spark your muscle memory, because nothing sounds scarier than not knowing how to use an extinguisher when you notice a fire start to spark.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought one for beside the grill, one for beside the stove, one for the laundry room, and one for the car. I think the intuitive, easy-to-use design is fantastic. We already have the muscle memory for using a spray can. In an emergency, it's so much easier to grab this and use it, and turn a small fire into a non-fire. I don't have time to remember a three step method of fire control when my bacon has gotten out of control on the stove. I'm not a firefighter! I'd really like to have one in every room. Think about it. Isn't it better to immediately contain a small fire than deal with a big one? This could save your life, and your house." —K. Zander

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

13. A bumper sticker remover you can attach to a drill and easily remove bumper stickers that have seen better days (or any you've simply grown tired of). 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought a used car to get back and forth to work. Only problem being the back was covered in bumper stickers. Eleven to be exact. I don't like bumper stickers. At all. This removed all of them in 25–30 minutes total no problem. Still has probably half the wheel left so I stuck it in my garage toolbox in case I need to eradicate any bumper stickers in the future." —PrestidgeSouthside

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

14. A garlic rocker — this clever tool just might, ahem, rock your world. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press. This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle, it minces just the same. This also comes with a (TBH very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant.

Promising review: "I like garlic very much, so I use this garlic press every day. It works very well, is easy to use, and easy to clean. Compared with the garlic press I used before, this is more labor-saving and comfortable." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors).

15. A bug remover for anyone who is ~bugged~ by the number of critters that end up creating crud on their car's perfect paint job.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product works great. Especially on the cap. It even gets the gray lines off too. Not just bugs. It’s well worth the price." —Karen

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three sets).

16. A bottle of makeup brush shampoo so you can stop making your skin dirty when tryn'a look fresh. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Well, I can happily say that this cleaner does a bang-up job! My brushes were saturated with old color, to the point that I thought I might need to spring for a new set. Aside from just looking bad, though, all that old color was probably affecting pigment and application any time I used them. A little of this cleaner, a handful of seconds working it in and rinsing, and my brushes look practically as good as the day I bought them! Saved me a ton of money in new brushes, and it didn't take away from my being-lazy time!" —ysar

Get it from Amazon for $5.82+ (available in two sizes).

17. A box of washing machine cleaning tablets to dissolve residue and make your washing machine actually smell fresh, which is a big deal when you haven't washed your machine since...you bought it.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Our new LG washer gets a stinky smell every so often so I bought these tabs. I put one in on the clean tub setting and it eliminates the odor. I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and add an X when I put the tab in for the month. This way I don't miss a month and my washer runs great." —akkeber

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.81.

18. A fabric defuzzer that'll clean up sweaters, sofas, and other aging fabrics that have been a real ~pill~ lately.

www.amazon.com

The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included. 

Promising review: "Okay, I don’t normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I’m depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Jensen

Get it from Amazon for $14.69+ (available in two styles and five colors).

19. A stainless steel cleaner to wipe up grease, stains, and fingerprints faster than you're able to say "cleaning the kitchen sucks." Turns out, it doesn't have to with this stuff.

www.amazon.com

This stainless-steel cleaning spray also comes with a handy dandy microfiber cloth.

Promising review: "This cleaner doesn’t leave a residue and actually works! Highly recommend!!" —Courtney B.

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two sizes and a two-pack).

20. The Car Seat Key for parents and guardians who have had one too many manicures ruined by car seat clips. This makes buckling and unbuckling your little one *super* easy and it even hooks onto your keychain so you've always got it with you when getting in the car. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I’d have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! LOL, if you’ve been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It’s worth it!" —Tora318

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 11 colors). 

21. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp that's easy peasy to put on *and* makes cleaning your toilet simpler than it's ever been! Mostly because, with this, you won't be the one cleaning your toilet.

Scrubbing Bubbles / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie8Pubca84E, Scrubbing Bubbles

Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet

Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.67.

22. A laser leveler with one 360-degree horizontal beam and one 140-degree vertical beam so you can make sure your taxidermy collection looks its very best. Oh wait, you don't have one of those? You're missing out.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This laser is a fantastic addition to the product line as it combines a VERY BRIGHT and VISIBLE green laser for both 360-degree horizontal, another vertical laser line that can provide you with a true and accurate 90-degree line, as well as a RED laser plumb dot! This is one of the most useful lasers I have ever come across! Having a contrast between the red and the green laser gives you easily readable reference lines and points. This unit is an excellent deal and would rival lasers eight to 10 times its price. Finally, the unit has a metal cover providing extra protection for the 360-degree horizontal laser against possible bumps. If you want a great laser — JUST BUY IT! You won’t be disappointed!" —Rob H.

Get it from Amazon for $109.99+.

23. An AirFly wireless transmitter to connect your AirPods (or wireless headphones) to your airplane's screen the next time you travel, no Bluetooth needed!!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "You don't know it yet but you need this. A friend recommended this and I decided to try it. It works well in flight. Huge improvement in comfort and sound quality over the airlines headphones. Also used for various tours when traveling. Again far more comfortable than the typical tour listening equipment." —PJ14

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

24. A Denman Hair Brush designed with bristles specifically spaced to detangle and shape curls that may otherwise feel frazzled and look undefined. Hit the snooze button and save time in the mornings with this brush by your side.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "TikTok made me do it. I never knew I had 3a curls until I used this brush. It evenly spreads product throughout the hair and clumps up your curls. It’s just an amazing brush!" —mariela

Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in five colors).

25. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller — this is gonna pick up fur and lock it inside the roller, making cleanup a breeze. Plus, it doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets 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 four colors).

26. A nontoxic leather conditioner that'll bring your beloved leather reading chair back to life. All you need is a thin spread of this spiffy conditioner and you''ll be g2g! Now, what page did you leave off on?

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots, as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" —David H.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have tall ceilings and this little humidifier was put to the test! Winter is here, the heat is on, and it's been dry until I purchased this humidifier. It's easy to use and KEEP CLEAN for those of us that are allergic to everything (dust and mold)." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20.99.

28. An extendable microfiber duster set — you fell in love with your apartment because of the high ceilings...but you didn't think about cleaning them until it was too late. 

Amazon

This includes an adjustable handle that extends from 24 to 49 inches, a regular short handle, a fluffy duster, and a bendable chenille and microfiber duster.

Promising review: "Perfect for my needs. Love the telescoping design and that it has no protruding joints that would prevent it from fitting underneath furniture with low clearance. Reaches under, behind and around all the tight spaces I can't get to without moving heavy furniture around. The duster is also very lightweight and can handle delicate situations." —Sjay

Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (also available in a two-pack).

29. An adjustable duster brush that'll spruce up your window shades so well you just might notice you actually did have a view through those dust bunnies.

I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." —Sarah

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five colors and six styles).

Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

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 it 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

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors and in two-packs).

35. A tomato knife that'll make chopping up this pesky piece of produce tomat-oh so easy!

Amazon, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." —Jane S. 

Get it from Amazon for $14.75 (also available in a two-pack).

36. A kneeling chair to give your aching back some major relief by letting you switch up positions throughout the day. The clever design helps you sit upright, gives your lower back a break, and helps your blood flow — despite your desk job. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This chair has the tilted seat, which you need to truly benefit from a kneeling-style chair. It is also adjustable both on the seat height [and] on the knee height making it highly customizable for people short and tall. I have chronic hip and lower back pain despite being young and healthy and this has saved me when I need to sit and work at the computer. I have a standing desk with a balance board as well but you can't stand all day for some kinds of work, so this chair has been great." —Jaime Bauer

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors).

I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee
