1. Some fly fans for chemical-free protection from pesky flies — set them on your outdoor table or hang them from a hook so you can enjoy the great outdoors (aka your sweet little backyard) without swatting at flies every five seconds.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Each fan requires two AA batteries.

Promising review: "Had a cookout recently and I must say this was the perfect addition to the food table. Not only did it keep the bugs away, but it was also a very entertaining piece that everyone kept asking me about. Not only was it a showstopper for the adults, the kids absolutely loved it to the point I had to tell them to stop touching it LOL. I won't have another food table without them ever again. What great addition to any outdoor or indoor event." —Sshy

2. A water bottle organizer so filling your Stanley and heading out the door each day is a fuss-free affair. It's got slots for up to four bottles as well as a built-in tray for water-sippin' accessories like straws, straw toppers, electrolyte packets, etc. And there are five hooks you can use for holding the lids (no more rooting around in your junk drawer!) but you can also use them to hold more bottles (reviewers say they're that strong), keys, oven mitts, and more.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Organizing genius !!! The magnet is VERY strong. Also comes with an adhesive that I used to attach a drink packet organizer on the fridge to make my whole drink area perfect." —Jenn Rieger

Get the four-capacity model for $34.99 (available in black and white and a three-capacity model)!

3. And a 3D-printed straw holder if you've got more straws than bottles (funny how straws just seem to magically appear in your drawers) and need a dedicated place for 'em. Mount it inside your cabinet door and free up drawer space for more important things, like fast food condiment packets.

Roylat Co / Etsy

Roylat Co is a small business.

Promising review: "I was impressed by such an innovative item that I never knew I needed in my life. It helps corral all the straws and frees up drawer space." —michall32

Get it from Roylat Co on Etsy for $10 (available in four colors).

4. A litter-sifting tub to make cleaning your kitty's litterbox as simple as pouring, sifting, and tossing! And bonus — this will save you money since you can reuse the clean litter. Simply dump a full litterbox into the litter sifter, and it'll separate the clumps into one section and the clean litter into the bin below. Then, dispose of the clumps and pour the clean litter back into your kitty's litterbox. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This thing is AMAZING. I have a chronic illness that makes it difficult to clean the litter boxes every day (not an excuse — I chose to have cats. It's my duty to make sure they're healthy and happy). This thing has made it 100x easier to clean!! It is much smaller than the product pictures would have you think — maybe a little over a foot tall. That said, it's a perfect size for one litter box at a time. The size makes it super easy to handle.  I've gone through a ton of litter box 'cheats,' including a $600 auto-clean box. This thing is by far the best investment I've made. It's stayed clean (and is very easy to wipe down if needed), it actually does what it's meant to do (sift litter), and it does it very well. No extra bells and whistles are needed. TL;DR: If you have the money to afford this comfortably, get it. The design, the specific materials used, and the actual quality of the final product are well worth the money. Cuts litter box cleaning time down to about 1 minute per box. It's amazing." —Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors and a two-pack).

5. A bathroom sink cover that I'm convinced was created by someone who's experienced the tragedy of losing a third of a bottle of $50 liquid foundation when the bottle teetered off the tiny bathroom counter and fell into the sink. This creates a usable surface out of thin air and has ridges to hold in place brushes, palettes, hot tools, and those squirmy tubes of lip gloss that love to roll everywhere.

www.amazon.com

There's a cutout that allows you to run the water with the mat in place. And when you're done, roll it up and stash it away.

Promising review: "This is great! The time it takes to pull it out and put it back is worth the whole 10 seconds in the time and aggravation it saves me getting ready. Whether I’m using it for my makeup or hair routine, it gives me a lot more space without dropping things into a wet sink. It’s sturdy enough to hold all my individual pieces or my hair dryer and brushes. Not sure of the heat proof, so I don’t recommend laying a curling iron on it or right next to it. The provided cutout hole still allows access to the faucet should you need water. Cleans very easily. I use makeup wipes to get any makeup smears, residue, or powders that get on it. I highly recommend this great find if you have a single sink to not only expand your work surface but to help your getting-ready routine go much better and faster. Oh, and there is a front and back. So take note when laying it out. The more flush side is the front and makes cleaning it off a lot easier as the ridges aren’t as deep." —Holland

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in blue and white).

6. Some fence post solar lights because they'll illuminate the far corners of your backyard, creating a more inviting vibe and also allowing you to keep an eye on your dog. Installation is easy (pinky promise!) and you'll get a variety of adapters to ensure the caps fit your fence post.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Some reviewers simply leave the lights on the railing of their fence or porch instead of mounting them to the post. You do you!

Promising review: "These solar post cap lights are super easy to set up and can go just about anywhere. We use them throughout the yard to help light the path for our puppy during her nightly potty trips, and they work great! The warm and cool white options are a nice touch, and they give off just the right amount of light without being too harsh. Waterproof, stylish, and reliable -definitely a great addition to our outdoor space!" —Wynn

Get a 12-pack for $89.99 (also available in an 8-pack).

7. A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99.

8.  A crack weeder tool so your knuckles aren't scratched and bloodied after a session of sidewalk weed pulling. This stainless-steel tool is designed to get into tight sidewalk cracks and remove stubborn thistles, weeds, and moss with ease.

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 $18.99.

9. 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 $12.99.

10. 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 $199+ (available in three colors and with or without a second showerhead). 

11. 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 $12.99.

12. A pack of carborundum sponges because these 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 four 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).

13. A couch guard for keeping your dog — who knows darn well that the sofa is off-limits — off of your furniture. It's durable, yet the pieces have a curved edge so they won't hurt any naughty pooches who see your absence as permission to go where they know they shouldn't be.

Amazon

Promising review: "This product is absolutely fabulous. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I have a collie who I adore, but bless her heart, her fur is like Velcro; she tracks dirt and debris into the house, and it winds up on my furniture. I didn't want to put something on the furniture that would scare her (like many of the sound devices) or zap her (like many training aids) because she is a rescue. This is a very humane way to keep her off the furniture. The paws are hard plastic but have no sharp edges and are larger than I had anticipated, which is great. They come in a set of four; two are sufficient for a chair and four for a loveseat. I like it so much that I ordered another set. When I am ready to sit down, it's easy to lift the protectors off the seat and set them on the floor or against the side table. I also like that it is made in the USA." —Patricia M. Terrell

Get four sheets from Amazon for $46.98.

14. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." —BBP623

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99.

15. An outlet extender if your bed, couch, cabinets, etc., can't lie flat against the wall because a pesky cord is 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 $7.58+ (available in white and black).

16. A magnetic dryer ball holder to make laundry day a fuss-free affair. Instead of rooting around your living room looking for one of the dozen dryer balls you swear you own (and which have all inevitably rolled off and behind the dryer), you can easily grab one from this organizer. Plus, if you 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 $19.99.

17. A bath toy organizer that, sure, your little one probably won't appreciate, but you, a very tired parent, will. The base has built-in holes to allow airflow, which'll help dry out your kiddo's toys and prevent mold and mildew. It also has a drip tray to catch said drips so they don't become a puddle on your bathroom floor. And when it's not in use (a rarity), it collapses flat.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have tried mesh nets, but they always get moldy quickly. This keeps the toys out of the water and allows water to drain from the bottom. Easy to clean. Great product." —calleen jones

Get it from Amazon for $25.66+ (available in three colors)

18. And on the topic of kids' toys, some stacking organizers because they encourage both play and organization. There's compartmentalized storage for folks who want to separate Lego pieces by color or purpose, as well as larger storage bins for folks who, like me, just want to dump it all in one bin. The bins themselves stack on top of each other, and the handle makes it easy to take 'em anywhere. *And* the lid has pegs on it that are compatible with Lego pieces, turning it into a play surface!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The form factor is well thought out, and things stay put even if you knock it over. The latches hold well and are designed not to get weak over time. Good for organizing a lot of smaller Lego pieces that are used frequently. If you live in a small place and can't have a full-time workspace, this is nice for a smaller collection that you tuck away when you're done. Kids can operate it easily." —Joseph Nacca

Get three bins from Amazon for $44.99.

19. 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 $22.38+ (available in three styles and with the pole).

20. A set of food savers so you don't have to toss the other half of an avocado, onion, citrus fruit — heck, reviewers have even used them for leftover deli meat, hard cheeses, sandwiches, half of a burrito, a banana, and even crayons. The flexible silicone sides hug your food, allowing these containers to take up less room than a bulky plastic food storage container.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had it for a few months now and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two color combinations).

21. A Le Creuset magnetic trivet if you're always dangerously juggling hot plates. This GENIUS invention allows you to simply hover a hot pot over the trivet and — BAM! — the trivet will stick to the bottom, and you can place the pot on any nearby, stable surface. Gone are the days of frantically shouting, "Can someone help me in here?!" when your hands are full.

Amazon

Promising review: "The wood is really super nice, smooth, and clean. It sticks great to the pan, and the silicone rings add great shock absorption, so it doesn't make a lot of noise when I send down my heavy-ass 13-some-inch skillet! It cleans off easily; I've only used it a handful of times, but it still looks brand new! A little pricey, but it's a premium kitchen thing. I recommend don't settle for something cheaper." —K. Lujan

Get it from Amazon for $49.95.

22. A Pikk-it tool to remove tangled hair that's lodged in your vacuum head and totally messing with your vac's absorption powers. (And ofc your fingers can't reach the hair!) You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush.

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.

23. Some plant cleaning wipes with neem oil that'll lift those water spots (ugh, what an eyesore!) as well as dirt and dust on the leaves, making it easier for your photosynthesize more effectively. Not only will you have beautiful shiny leaves, but you may also notice fewer pests thanks to the neem oil, a well-known insecticide and repellent with antifungal properties.

Southside Plants is a woman-owned small business that was founded in Fort Worth, Texas, by plant-lover Meg Renninger. They create everything from their own potting soil to fertilizer spray.  

Promising reviews: "I love these wipes for my fiddle leaf fig tree. The wipes are scentless and have a good texture for getting the dust and grime off the leaves of your plants. They’re really convenient, and the packaging is pretty! Highly recommended." —MP

"These are amazing, and they look and feel like they should be more expensive, LOL. There are a ton of wipes, and you could honestly cut them in half and do two plants. They stay wet for a long time, so you could wipe each leaf and it will still be damp. I usually wipe with pest prevention spray every six months or so, but this helps keep them clean in the meantime, and the ingredients are actually good for the leaves. Just get it; you'll love it!" —Luke

Get it from Amazon for $14.97.

24. A hoodie hanger because one hoodie per hanger...yeah, that's not gonna cut it with your small closet. And don't even get me started on folding hoodies! You can only stack them one high in a drawer! So inefficient! Just grab one of these six-pronged hangers and use 'em for your hoodies, T-shirts, bras, belts, purses, hats, and more.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this product in a two-pack for my T-shirts because I hate folding and putting laundry away, and thought it would be a more convenient way for me to keep my clothes organized, and Wow! When I saw how durable and well-made they were, and how much space they saved, and how easy they were to use, I bought more! They also were a great value for the money, and I was able to just walk into my closet and see all my clothes, so they were all visible as soon as I opened my closet, no more searching through drawers. The next two packs I bought, I even used to hang my hoodies; these things are super durable and sturdy. I highly recommend these little darlings for anyone trying to get organized." —Icherr

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors as well as individually and in packs of four).

25. 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 of 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.

26. A dryer stacking kit so you can dramatically increase the amount of empty floor space you have. This is also a great option if you want to stack a washer and dryer from different brands.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The reviewer on the left opted for the style with a pull-out drying rack (genius!), so be sure to select that model if you want that accessory. The kit is adjustable and will fit washers and dryers between 24–29 inches.

Promising review: "Gets the job done! I had two different brands of washer and dryer due to my washer being replaced, so I needed something to stack them. I've had this for a couple of months now — no issues at all, and it was easy to set up...probably 20 minutes total. Very happy!" —Buckeyes Baby

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available with accessories).

27. A cooling dog bed if your pooch runs hot, and with the summer coming up — sheesh! — you're concerned about keeping them comfy. It's made of plush and supportive orthopedic memory foam and has a cooling gel embedded that disperses heat. The durable design is a blessing if you've got a chewer, and the machine-washable, removable cover is a plus if your pup is prone to accidents.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My dog HATES dog beds because she only likes the cold floor and wow she literally has been laying on this ever since we got it and when she first when on it when I opened it reacted as if she was getting a toy or something and was rolling on it just so happy about how cold it is. I’ve bought so many cooling mats and beds for her, and none were really that cooling, but wow, this is AMAZING. She’s asleep on it right now, and I’m so happy because it’s amazing back support as well! This is the first thing that has gotten her off the cold, dirty floor!" —Lilith Levisis

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two sizes).

28. A duck-shaped cordless vac to suck up dirt, dust, pet hair, crumbs, and whatever else is littering the surfaces in your home. I'm not going to pretend that you've never seen a handheld vac before, but have you ever seen this cordless vac? Didn't think so. Powerful results in a small, ~feather-light~, duck-shaped package. Who knew?

www.amazon.com

The vac comes with a HEPA filter, crevice tool, crevice tool brush, and a hose with two adapters.

Promising review: "Just a fantastic item. Picks up really quickly all that tiny, small stuff that falls off your counters. Has a strong little motor and works really well. I compared my Dust Buster to the duck, and to be honest, both did pretty much the same, except the duck, being narrower, is able to get in the tighter areas better. Also, being smaller than the Dust Buster, I can just place the duck in a drawer. Works exceptionally good when it comes to getting in between the car seats and furniture cushions. The duck is just a great little convenient tool to have around your home." —jackie

Get it from Amazon for $49.99.

29. A pair of removable J-shaped headboard pillows that'll solve the problem of needing some comfy back support but absolutely hating the look and bulk of regular headboard pillows.

To be clear, this is just the holder. The AeroPress and accessories are not included.

Promising review: "Love this solution to a bag full of bags taking up space. It's a really nice thick quality and gives you easy access to bags from the top or bottom. The string makes it easy to remove and hang. I love the cactus one, it's so cute. Might get for gifts!" —Sarah Latham

34. A space-saving six-piece kitchen tool to do it all — and by "all," I mean grate, grind, slice (pizza), open (bottles), peel, and strip (herbs) — and then neatly nest together when not in use. Consider this my petition to officially add this to every "living alone for the first time" kit.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this for the chef in my family for Christmas, and he actually approved.
