Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision is no longer perfect, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble trying to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them.

Promising reviews: "Does the trick of getting hair out of the roller. Happy I bought it." —Pat S

"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

Promising review: "I bought these for my very first cruise. It was a 5-day cruise that had a bit of rough waters the first two days out to sea. I was a little bit leery as to whether these would keep the nausea away, as I am very prone to motion sickness (car rides in the mountains, carnival rides, etc). I put these on just before boarding the ship and didn't take them off until the fourth day. By then, I figured my 'sea legs' would have kicked in. I didn't have any issues at all, unlike many of my fellow cruisers. I'm bringing these with me on my next cruise!!" —EA99

I’ve noticed a huge difference in mold growth when I use these fish." —Shelly

Get it from Amazon for $5.98.

It's also got a soft grip handle because taking care of your home's outward appearance shouldn't be physically taxing.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Doesn’t disrupt nearby plants. For weeds with long roots like bindweed, follow along the weed's root. You’ll get a feel for it with practice. The tip has a sharper angle than my last one, so it's good for cutting the roots of shallow-rooted plants. It’s a game-changer, for sure. Good, sturdy, well-made, and has a comfortable handle." —Hanna

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that my husband and I bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard, and boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get." —JG 

Get it from Amazon for $39.97.

Quitch is a small business founded by moms who were tired of using bug spray on their kids! Adult reviewers are loving 'em, too!

Promising review: "I was honestly skeptical about buying these. My son (15 months) is too little for Benadryl or any anti-itch cream, so I bought them for our upcoming camping trip to try. Little did I know, they would come in handy sooner! My son got bitten by a mosquito near his eye. This caused major swelling and irritation. As mentioned, he’s too little for medicine. I put a patch on, and the results speak for themselves. I’m amazed, and they helped my son not scratch the area. They’re so little and super sticky, he doesn’t even notice it’s on. I added a photo of the patch about five hours after application, and you can see how full it is. I will definitely be purchasing again!" —Sierra

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." —Jennifer Helseth

Get it from Amazon for $8.04.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I don't like to talk about it, but every year my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." —Catherine

Promising review: "Earlier this week my dentist advised that I get a bite guard. The cost was $700 but I could have one for $500. I decided to try a less expensive alternative. I purchased these and woke up this morning pain free. They are comfortable and I had no problem falling asleep. Pain is gone and I saved $500. I would say that's a win-win." —Charles

19. A hassle-free screen-cleaning brush because your mesh window screens are coated in layers of dust, dirt, and dead bugs that make it dang near impossible to see the outside world. No need to remove the screens — just wet the brush (add soap if you wanna!), and easily scrub away debris.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

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 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

www.amazon.com

Read more about sulfite allergies and wine at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I will admit, I was a bit skeptical before I purchased these. My boyfriend has never been able to drink wine due to an allergy to the sulfites. He has tried several times over the years with both red wine and white wine, but after one sip, he would begin to get itchy and wheezy. I have always been a wine drinker and recently moved to San Francisco. I have been thoroughly enjoying living so close to Napa and Sonoma. I decided there had to be a solution, and Amazon did not disappoint. These wands are super easy to use and we have been able to enjoy many bottles of wine together with no reactions! I can even tell that it aerates very well and helps bring out some of the flavors when I compare our glasses to each other. I would definitely recommend!!" —Amanda Taylor

22. A mattress lifter if you weren't born with six arms to help you perfectly make your bed. This will lift your heavy mattress so you can stuff your sheets underneath with ease.

Amazon

Promising review: "This product deserves more than 5 stars. It is such a help. I am 76 and we have an 18-inch Sterns and Foster mattress, so you know it's big and heavy. It is really difficult to change sheets, and I do this each week. I am so picky about how the bed is made that my husband doesn't like to help. (He is 80.) I changed sheets last night, and these mattress lifters were a gift from above. I can't believe how neat and tidy my bed was after using these. What a big help! I am so grateful to have found these extra hands. I have two of these and recommend them as a set because I tried with just one, and two make it so much easier." —Scrapbook girl

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

23. A pet hair remover so you'll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that's been calling it home in a few quick swipes. And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is now my go-to pet hair remover. I have a long-haired golden retriever, and my girl SHEDS a new dog's worth of hair almost daily. I've tried heavy-duty tape rollers, rake-style pet hair removers, but the ChomChom beats them all." —alw91

www.amazon.com, Amazon

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

This is one of those "future you will thank past you" products.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I am so glad I ordered an extra pack of these. My goal for January was to organize the basement. I have TONS of plastic bins and whenever I need something, I have to open each to find what I’m looking for. I took a few hours the first weekend cleaning out and organizing everything and the bins. I took pictures of the contents of each bin, put one of these stickers on each bin then associated the pics with the sticker’s QR code and voila, done. IF YOU LIKE TO BE ORGANIZED, GET THESE STICKERS!" —Fred Labro

26. A pack of anti-slip shoe sole protectors if you're low-key (read: high-key) scared of repeating your slip-and-fall incident of '08, so you've banished those hellishly slippery heels to the back of your closet. But (now imagine I'm the devil on your shoulder), they are reallllly cute and would go with all of your summer wedding 'fits. These anti-slip shoe grips will keep you on your feet. They're also helpful with noise reduction and shock absorption. (OK, now I'm the angel on your other shoulder.)

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a pair of high heels that I rarely wear because they are so slippery. I bought these, and I'm very happy. The soles of my shoes are black so I bought the black ones, and they are barely noticeable. The adhesive is very strong. Once you place them on the sole, they're there for good, so place them carefully. I walked around my hardwood floors and then tile. I'm much more confident in my shoes now. Smooth floors don't scare me like they used to." —Mathilde

Get four pairs from Amazon for $5.94+ (available in packs of three, four, and five, and in six colors).

27. A Tub Topper since your little one loves to try to give you a shower during their bath time. This will also give them more space to play with their favorite waterproof toys! Plus, fewer puddles on your bathroom floor? I think that's a no-brainer.

Amazon

Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" —Brianna
