Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to see it in action! 

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 it from Amazon for $4.67.

2. A box of cleaning K-Cups — if your coffee's been tasting a lil' funky lately, it's probably because your machine is overdue for a cleaning. Just pop it in like you would with a K-Cup and let it run! It'll rid your Keurig of old grinds and residue, help extend its lifespan, and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 kept clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results… VERY HAPPY!!" —Corey West

Get a box of six pods from Amazon for $9.95.

3. A pack of stain-removing pads that don't require any scrubbing — what!? When you're halfway out the door to work and notice your puppy had a little accident on your brand-new carpet, just use one of these bad boys! Place it on the stain, give it a stomp to activate it, and the mess will be gone when you return. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than five stars." —Matt

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48.

4. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets because even though that savior of a machine cleans your bowls, plates, and silverware, it doesn't clean itself. Just pop in a tablet and run a cycle (with or without dishes) to remove limescale and mineral buildup that's making your machine and dishes smell funky. No need to shell out for a new dishwasher after all!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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.

5. An air purifier if you just want to relax at home but the dust lurking around has different plans for you — aka congestion, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes. This baby captures dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and even odors (like the stink from your cat's litter box) so you don't have to live with all those miserable allergens and smells circulating in the air.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

If you have kids or pets with asthma or allergies, this can help cut down on their triggers as well.

Promising review: "I have severe allergies during the spring and summer months and have tried everything from neti pots to OTC allergy medicine to get some sort of relief. If you saw my trash cans, they were full of used tissues and I was still constantly sneezing. I saw immediate results in the first few days. I use it at night in my bedroom. I have the setting on '2,' which is at the medium setting. The noise level is not that bad; I can still hear the television and hold a normal conversation with my husband. The noise level tends to go away or blend once you get used to it. The results are great. I still have the occasional sneeze and have to use a tissue every now and then but, I am nowhere near what I was. I can finally breathe at night without having to take the OTC medicine. This has been a true lifesaver for me. I will be looking to purchase another one after our renovations are completed in our kitchen/living room. Best purchase ever to get a sense of normalcy in my life." —P. Allen

Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in black and white).

6. A ChomChom pet hair remover with over 147,000 5-star ratings (!!!), and over 5,000 of them call it the "best," a word that shall not be taken lightly. It's like a reusable lint roller (without those annoying sticky papers) and designed to pick pet hair up efficiently — once fur is locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you empty it out!

Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —DH

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four designs; clip the coupon on the product page to save 20%).

7. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray to save your arms from an unwarranted workout session. It requires no elbow grease — just spray down your shower once a week, wait 8–12 hours, and then rinse with warm water. Say bye-bye to showers surrounded by scum, grime, oil, and mold, and hello to your shiny new tiles. 

Amazon

Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents and two sizes).

8. A set of kinda genius soda can covers if you're the type of person who simply can't finish a drink (guilty). Instead of dumping a half-filled can of Bubly into the sink, just snap on one of these lids and you'll have a still-carbonated drink left to enjoy later!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Very solid product. It does exactly what it claims to do. It snaps on to any can I have easily, then opens and closes shut again for storage in my fridge. As you can see in my pictures, it’s leakproof when closed. I think it will be a great addition to my kitchen." —w_starling

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a multicolor style and other pack sizes).

9. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker because your sweet tooth always craves ice cream, but you're trying to buy less Ben & Jerry's. This ingenious gadget can turn any frozen fruit into a smooth, delicious sorbet without any additional ingredients! Another huge bonus: If you or any family members are vegan, lactose-intolerant, or have other dietary restrictions, this lets you tailor the sweet treat to everyone's needs!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friends house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in four colors).

10. Some washing machine cleaning tablets that'll remove grime and odor-causing residue because yes, you should be cleaning the machine that cleans your clothes — oh, the irony. After running a cycle with just a tablet inside, your washing machine will be sparkling clean *and* your laundry won't stink like mildew after your next wash. 

www.amazon.com

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

Promising review: "I've been using this product for several years now. I have two teens and a husband who's an auto technician. Boy do they get filthy! After time this grime buildup will make your washer stink bad. I don't do it every month as they say to as I don't have that type of money but when it stinks, this product is the bomb! Makes your washer smell really fresh, like brand new. If it still stinks after one tablet, pop another one in and no more stink!! Yay! I would give this 20 stars if I could. Really love this product so much so that I bought the ones for my dishwasher too!! (they work great too!)" —berja

11. A set of wad-free pads so your sheets actually come out dry instead of as a dripping ball of fabric. These prevent your sheets from getting tangled and twisted up with other wet laundry caught inside! Once you use these and take out dry, unwrinkled sheets, you'll realize it was never your poor dryer's fault.

Amazon

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi Bray, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.

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! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

12. A compact silverware sorter for your kitchen drawer so you're not playing "I Spy" every time you need a utensil. Thanks to its stacked compartments, it saves so much space that you'll realize you can actually store other things in there, too!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought two of these because I have a disgusting amount of toddler/baby silverware along with regular silverware. Since I put these in, WOW does my drawer look organized and empty. I get compliments all the time." —Melanie slinger

Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (available in three other styles).

13. An inflatable pool so you and your fam can take a nice little dip to ward off the heat. Sure, it’s not an infinity pool, but who needs that when this has a ~built-in bench~??? I think that's equally impressive. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So far this is the best $50 I've ever spent. With summers only getting hotter every year here in Colorado, this is a godsend. Was very fast to inflate (with an electric pump, not included). After inflating, this was a bit larger than I had imagined. I got it pretty much just for me, but there's definitely room for 3+ adults in this thing. Love that it has cup holders. Also love the white and clear blue colors. Just seeing it out my back window cools me off lol!" —Laura

Get it from Amazon for $51.25.

14. A high-voltage bug zapper because A Bug's Life made those pesky critters seem a lot cuter than they actually are. The blue-violet light draws in bugs, and the voltage zaps 'em upon contact. Now you'll be able to chill in the backyard as long as you like without swatting the air and looking like you're fighting invisible demons. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It has a range of around 2,100 square feet. It's also waterproof and won't harm people or pets!

Promising review: "This bug zapper has been a game changer for our backyard! We’ve been using it during evenings on the patio, and it really cuts down on the mosquitoes. Super powerful but safe, and I like that the outer casing is sturdy and that it covers a good area too." —Rosso

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

15. A bag of Dr. Elsey's premium clumping litter since no one in your fam wants to scoop crumbly, stinky litter, nor should they have to. This magical formula creates easy-to-scoop clumps *and* prevents odors from wafting around the house! Plus, it's dust-free and hypoallergenic (so better for you and your cats). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes (who has two kitties) swears by this brand: 

"According to Amazon, I have ordered this stuff 64 times, going all the way back to 2017, and I swear by it. First of all, the convenience of having a 40-pound bag delivered straight to your door can't be overstated. As someone who lives in New York without a car, I don't really have another choice, but even if you can drive to the pet store and buy litter, this is way easier, especially when you're caring for a large number of cats. People have all sorts of opinions on the 'best' type of litter to use with your cat, but a good clumping, low-dust, low-tracking formula is one you can't go wrong with, and Dr. Elsey's checks all those boxes. It does a solid job of covering the odor (as long as you're scooping regularly), and paired with a good trapper mat to catch what your cats track out as they exit, you won't end up with it all over your house."

Promising review: "Several years ago, I saw this litter in a review on a cat veterinarian's website. I had tried many different brands and types of cat litter — clay, paper, corn, etc. — because I wanted to find one with minimal dust. I ordered a bag and have never purchased another brand since. I have found this litter works for several cats equally as well. No perfume smell, little to no dust, reduced tracking, clumps well, longer time between changes, and has great odor control." —mydogtate

16. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets so you don't have to pull out your phone with messy hands after marinating or seasoning your chicken. It'll let you know the temperature and time at which to cook your food. Sorry Google, you won't be needed today!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy having them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" —Small~Town~Girl

Get them from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in two colors and a pressure cooker version).

17. A two-tier sliding shelf if you've made a habit of just shoving anything and everything under the sink, and there's an avalanche waiting to happen. This lets you see everything you own at a glance, and the baskets slide right out so you won't have to awkwardly reach allll the way to the back to find what you need. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw great reviews on this item, so I took the plunge and ordered two sets of them. They were a little pricey, but I am so happy with the product that I think the price was completely worthwhile! These organizers are much better than other plastic drawers I have used in the past. With the way they are designed, items don't get stuck in the drawers, they are easy to slide, they are spacious, and they have little removable sections that you can use to organize the inside of the drawers. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I would make it again in a heartbeat." —Tess HDP

Get it from Amazon for $19.65+ (available in seven styles).

18. A garbage guard so you don't have to deal with a swarm of flies and gnats whenever you take out the trash. Just stick it inside your garbage can, and it'll release an odorless vapor to keep those pests away (for up to four months)!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered this product because every spring and summer we have problems with flies and maggots in the garbage can. The device has been on my garbage can lid for a few days now. It survived the weekly trash pickup. As for whether or not this device works: Let me tell you: NO FLIES, NO MAGGOTS!!! This product works well. Just be careful when applying the adhesive strip." —Simone Kale

Get it from Amazon for $9.84 (also available in a two-pack).

19. A set of two adhesive shower shelves because balancing all your shower products on the bathtub rim is way too chaotic (and you're tired of knocking bottles over). The adhesive is way stronger than suction cups (each shelf can hold up to 20 pounds!) so you won't have to worry about them falling. And the little hooks at the bottom are so handy for holding razors and sponges!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B

And on the weekends? This chair + a good book = the best time ever. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The only problem I have with this chair is that I only have one of them and the whole family now fights over it! Seriously, it is THAT comfortable and relaxing. Pretty easy to put together. My husband got it all assembled in less than an hour and then proceeded to open up a beer and fall asleep in it next to the pool, HA! I like to take my laptop out with me and work in it as the moveable umbrella shades my screen. Love love LOVE it!!" —Erin S

Get it from Amazon for $219.99 (available in 15 colors).

21. A memory foam seat cushion with cooling gel if you want your tushy to be cushy while commuting in your car, working at a computer, or even just eating your din-din. It helps support and relieve pressure on your tailbone, and reviewers say it's helped with their lower back pain!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this item to help relive coccyx pain from riding my motorcycle. When I sit for very long I start to squirm as sitting gets more and more uncomfortable until it starts to get painful and I have to get up and move around. I've had this seat cushion for two days now, and as I was sitting here reading the news on my laptop, I realized I'd been sitting for a couple of hours, pain-free! This seat cushion is well worth the cost and then some!" —Amazon Customer

www.amazon.com

This has a 3-cup capacity and is ideal for single servings. Check out this one that's perfectly sized for families! 

Promising review: "I love fresh vegetables but hate having to cook up the whole batch and store. This little microwave steamer worked out even BETTER than I could have imagined! I use it almost every day now. I can break off a few stalks of broccoli, cut up a some asparagus, carrots, steam it in the microwave for 3–3.5 minutes and I have a wonderful serving of mixed fresh veggies anytime I want. I love it! It is small, so if you're feeding a family, look for something bigger along the same lines. It's easy to clean, and it seems sturdy enough for the dishwasher, but I hand wash it because I had a microwave steamer that got warped after a few runs through the dishwasher. Would definitely buy again." —terifrancis

Get it from Amazon for $15.49.

23. A leave-in conditioner that detangles and revives curly hair. Though made for children, this bestselling spray is beloved by curly-haired folks of *all* ages. Formulated with olive oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin B5, it helps maintain bouncy curls and prevent frizz! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This stuff is beyond 5 stars. I initially bought this for my son who is tender-headed. I have really curly hair and happened to break my ankle and was in the hospital for two weeks and couldn't wash and condition my hair like I do at home. I had what felt like dreadlocks in three places! I was hoping this would work on my hair and it was amazing! I completely soaked my hair with this stuff, waited a little while, and gently combed through it. I absolutely cannot believe how well it worked!!" —Bea

Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and five colors).

25. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner, because even though you can't *see* your week-old pasta, that doesn't mean it's not still down there. Just insert one of these packets, let the water run, and turn on the disposal — it'll basically start self-cleaning so you don't have to reach down there and do it yourself, *ick*. Once you see the bath bomb-like blue fizz, the job is done, and your sink will be free from the smelly, backed-up gunk.

Amazon

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica House

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.

26. A TubShroom to catch all the hair before it clogs your drain so you won't be showering in a puddle up to your ankles. This cute little trinket just stays in the shower drain until the hair needs to be removed.

www.youtube.com

Promising review: "I have long hair and recently had a baby. This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged every time we turn around, and we're spending ridiculous amounts of time with that spiky stick thing you shove down there and then pull out over and over. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair then it would be worth its salt. Holy moly. When they say it catches every hair they aren't kidding. We clean it off about twice A WEEK! And when they say it's easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off to be flushed down the toilet. I've already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!" —sasamo

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors and as a two-pack).

27. A jar opener because opening jars with your bare hands is a struggle that no one should have to go through — especially just to get one pickle spear. It's a truly magical product for everyone, but especially useful for folks with limited mobility or a weaker grip.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Though I admit to being a senior citizen, I don't think of myself as old by any means. I can still open a jar with no problem. I bought this for my father-in-law and after we put it up, I fell in love with this thing and ordered myself one. I put it under an overhead cabinet and he slides a jar in with both hands and the lid pops right off no matter how hard it's stuck on. And no, I don't work for the company or own stock in it. It's just that with all the junk you can order off the internet, it's refreshing to get something that actually works exactly as advertised." —Ken Griffeth
