These 34 Things Are Just Too Good To Gatekeep
Kinfield
Heads up: As far as "natural" bug sprays go, the CDC only recommends formulas with oil of lemon eucalyptus so I don't recommend using this in super buggy areas. That said, based on the reviews, you should be covered for casual picnics and backyard hangs.
Promising review: "Mosquitoes like to eat me up and make me puff up like an itchy water balloon, but I’ve had absolutely ZERO bites while wearing this stuff. I love that it’s not a bunch of nasty, sticky DEET chemicals. I recommend applying it outside though if you have cats or dogs, since essential oils aren’t great for them to ingest or inhale. Made the mistake of applying inside one time and it was very strong so I cordoned my cats off from the area lol. A lot of people seem to complain about the scent but I personally love the smell of citronella so it doesn’t bother me. I’ll be using this for LIFE!" —TJ R.

Print out whatever design you'd like, coat it with acrylic varnish, and then dry. Next, cut out your design, soak it in water, and voila! You have a decal that can be removed from the water and stuck to anything you'd like.
Promising review: "I wanted to buy this paper for the sole purpose of making my own water transfer nail decals. Make sure to follow the instructions with regard to dry time and sealing with a clear acrylic coat prior to submersing in water. The paper itself is transparent (I know some papers have a frosty look to them), and it transfers easily (as long as the instructions are followed). I made my first set of nail decals and was pleasantly surprised by how easy they were to get onto my nails and that I was able to manipulate them even after putting them on (with a little water on my fingertip) to get it just right. I sealed the decal with a clear top coat, and it’s good to go. Overall great product will purchase again!" —Ben

Promising review: "I didn’t know what to expect with this switch plate, but what I didn’t expect was the weight of it! The quality is absolutely incredible, the polished brass is a perfect color (honestly more golden than brassy) and overall, I’m in LOVE with the design. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I’ll definitely be ordering more plates for my outlets!" —RHEA

Promising review: "This was the perfect gift for a beloved niece. Personalized, gorgeous, and incredibly affordable. This necklace is two-in-one. I love the layered look, and she can wear them together or separate, as the two pieces are not physically connected to each other. I loved it so much, I want to get one for myself!" —J.McKenna

Promising review: "I read tons of reviews for this skirt and I felt confident in the sizing that I chose. It fits wonderfully as a high-waisted skirt. It is very full and it has a slip attached to it. I ordered this skirt in white. It is so pretty. I know I will receive compliments on it. I plan to order another. I definitely give this skirt two thumbs up. And you really can't beat the price!" —tanisha
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–5X and 45 colors).
Promising review: "This brush is awesome!! I highly recommend it. I even bought another one to have just in case something happened to the first one. I have 3 Shiba Inu dogs. Every spring, they shed their ‘second coat.’ I have tried six different brushes over the past 3–4 years, including the Furminator, and they have hated them all. They either pull and cause pain, or they don’t work. This brush is not expensive, not painful, removes gobs of hair easily, and I think it may help my dogs shed less. I wish I had found it first. I could have saved money and spared my dogs painful experiences trying all the other brushes." —Becky

Promising review: "A 20-pack? For this price? Yes please! It's basically an exact replica of the name-brand product for a fraction of the cost. I have a toddler who has at one time or another accosted our walls with pens, pencils, and markers and a mechanic husband who comes home each day manhandling our white front door with greasy grubby hands each day. Wait, our door is white? OH WAIT, thanks to these, yes, our door is indeed a sparkling, clean white color. My walls are marker-free without rubbing off all of the cheap white paint. I used this to scrub pollen off of sticky window sills and caked-on spilled laundry detergent off of the washer/dryer unit. Scuffs of all nature, be gone. In all seriousness, these do their job well — just add water and a little elbow grease." —hannah

Promising review: "I LOVE this skirt. I found it off a review on TikTok. The skirt fits like a glove, with room to stretch (not tight or ill-fitting). I’m really happy with this product because it’s hard to find a product that accommodates my size and comes in good quality. If you were hesitant, I would suggest checking your measurements. I might buy more colors!" —Nick

The plant comes in a gel that has all the nutrients it needs to survive.
Promising review: "I was pretty sure I'd love this, but had no idea how much! I'm the 'mom' to three full-size Venus flytraps, and it's so fascinating to see this baby in its beginning growth stage. Sort of like marveling at the tiny fingernails on a newborn infant, I'm captivated by the tiny but perfectly formed traps. Looking forward to watching it grow!" —Siri Jeffrey

Measure your bag to make sure it's a good fit!
Promising review: "This thing is great! I have a large bag I use as a carry-on when I fly by plane. Unfortunately, it has very few pockets and is just like a bottomless pit. This fit in perfectly. I was able to organize all my items quite well. They were easy to retrieve in flight and at the airport. I didn't use the zipper compartment at all, but did put that piece in to use it as a divider. It is well-made and sturdy. Be sure to measure your inner bag space first!" —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in seven sizes and 18 colors).
This set even comes with nonslip straps to ensure your new seats stay in place.
Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz
Get it from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in five sizes and 21 colors).
Promising review: "I absolutely love this and am amazed at how fuller my brows look! Application is also super easy and quick! I took three pictures. Top picture is before I applied it. Middle picture is after application. Third picture is after I've drawn a line under my brow to clean up the look and filled in some sparse areas." —P.A.

Promising review: "This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash, and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse, this is a must-have!!" —dj3biggs

Hairbrella / YouTube
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business established in 2016 that specializes in hats combining fashion and function to protect against all types of weather.
Promising review: "I never carry an umbrella cause they’re too bulky, so when I saw the Hairbrella, I was so excited. It keeps my hair dry and my curls nicely quaffed, rather than me looking like I stuck my fingers I a light socket. I’m telling everyone I know about it, it’s an amazing alternative to those wide-brimmed hats or a briefcase LOL! Truly it’s never going to leave my side from now on! I definitely recommend it." —Gina C.
Get it from Amazon for $44 (available in eight colors) or Hairbrella for $34+ (available in seven colors, plus XL and kids sizes).
This keyboard comes with a mouse and a USB receiver (compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Mac) for easy connecting. And BTW, the keyboard and the mouse each require one AA battery to run.
Promising review: "I love this keyboard! It's only been a couple of weeks, but it makes me excited to write again. I ordered blue, it's lovely and easy to use, haven't had any problems with the keys being round like I thought I would. The mouse is fine, the connection hasn't had any problems yet. I feel like the price is reasonable, it's not super fancy with lighting, but it has a nice aesthetic and fluffy sounding clicky clackies." —Eric

You get two dual-sided pens: one each with the left and right wings. The other sides have straight eyeliner for lining your lid and filling in the wing more as needed.
Promising review: "I've tried the taping method, tried normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! So when I saw this I thought, meh, why not give it a shot...It's not like my hopes were high since nothing else has been efficient or worked as it should. But to my surprise I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect aside from needing to connect it to my current liner. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES...LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There was no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line." —LadyMeow
Get a set from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in three sizes and a triple pack).
Promising reviews: "This balm is so amazing. It helps with fine lines, hydrating, and my makeup or concealer layers on top just beautifully. This little pot LASTS too — I’ve had it for months, use it daily, and am just barely starting to make a dent in it, so very cost effective and travel friendly too." —Nic
"I love this stuff. My eyes get very dry and irritated around my lash line, especially around fire season, so I end up rubbing them, and then it gets worse. My usual eye cream feels like I didn't put it on after about 30 minutes, and I reach to reapply it. With this stuff, I can use in the corners of my eye and above and below and it is completely soothed the whole day or night. If you've ever been tempted to put balm or ointment on your eyes, this is for you. I tend to break out under my eyes with some moisturizers and concealers, and this doesn't make me break out at all. (I also don't use too much under my eyes when I'm going to wear concealer — then, like anything else, it probably would.) It isn't greasy at all, despite being a little bit like a balm; it doesn't leave residue unless I use way too much, and it feels really comfortable. Doesn't bother my contacts either. It's not for everyone, but if you relate to my eye issues, you gotta try it." —D
Get it from Amazon for $9.30.
Promising review: "We wanted to light the steps going up to the bathroom and came across this excellent product. We have no electrical outlets in the hall, so a plug-in nightlight was not an option for us. I read other reviews that mention the sticky back rips paint off the wall, so I went ahead and drilled a hole through the middle of the back plate, and used a screw to secure it instead; this way, if I ever want to move the light, I can do so. We will definitely recommend to friends and family." —biallasamantha
Get it from Amazon for $17.09+ (available in two colors and packs of two).
Promising review: "Wow, these lightbulbs are so beautiful. They bring so much warmth, color, and aesthetic to whichever room you put them in. I love them so much that I'm on the hunt for a new nightstand lamp to put the other one into. My only complaint is that there aren't any versions on this bulb with a small base. Would have loved to put it in my ceiling fan, but these ones were too big. Either way, love them. Would buy again!" —Rocky
Get them from Amazon for $19.99.
Amazon
Promising review: "Who knew such a tiny thing could make such a big difference. I put these on my prescription glasses that I wear all day long (or everything is blurry). It's amazing; they keep me from adjusting my glasses completely! I didn't think the arm of the glasses would fit...but it does!" —Susan

HydrascapeStickers
Hydrascape Stickers is a small business created by Pacific Northwest artist and muralist Gretchen Leggitt. All stickers the business sells are manufactured within 500 yards of the design studio, reducing its carbon footprint.
Promising review: "I so love this landscape sticker! It is on my black thermos (husband is jealous, as he has a large black drinking cup) and looks excellent! It is a perfect fit for an Arizona dweller, reminding me of the Valley where I once lived that was full of saguaro cactus. The sticker arrived quickly and is much prettier than the picture indicated. Thank you very much." —SALLYJANE
Get it from Hydrascape Stickers on Etsy for $17.95.
BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic!
Promising review: "I’ve used a lot of different hydrocolloid acne patches with varying results, but so far these are the only ones that seem to actually resolve the zit in a day or two. Others have irritated my skin, or are difficult to remove and pull at my skin; these don’t do any of that. They stick quite well, but come off without a problem when I’m ready. They are cute too, and I like that I can’t see the gunk it pulls from the outside of the sticker." —ML

The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The drill isn't included, but you can grab a basic Black and Decker one ($46.99 on Amazon) that'll do the trick.
Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying!
Drill Brush is a small business based in New York that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from carpal tunnel and needed a way to clean without causing him harm.
Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D.

Promising review: "Used a little more than one roll for a quick makeover for an ugly fireplace in a rental apartment. It was easy to cover the tiles with the film, and I could stretch the film out about 1 mm if I had cut the strip too short. It makes a huge difference for minimal effort/price. I don't think anyone would be squinting down at the floor to notice the slightly pixelated pattern." —zhen

Promising review: "This toaster fit right in my farmhouse-style kitchen with its cool mint-green color and retro vibes. Pros: four slots, and they are the wide-and-long type, meaning those fancier breads fit without squishing the sides of your slice. It has a bagel setting, as well as a nifty reheat button so your toast doesn't get burnt or overly crispy if you aren't hovering over it and miss it pop up and have to retoast it. It is fairly easy to clean, just dump the tray, so no worries about crumbs or bits of bread burning in the bottom and ruining the perfect taste of your slice. The knobs have a neat texture and are adjustable so you can time it just right for Pop Tarts, toast, or toasted sandwich bread. Cons: My husband is a little jealous of how much I love this toaster, and has been asking me if it is better than him. What could I say? I mean it makes TOAST, all he makes is methane gas so... Maybe consider ordering a couples therapy workbook to go with this toaster when purchasing." —Alice R.
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
Friendsheep is a small business that sells dryer balls handmade by women in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Promising review: "These are so incredibly cute! I love that they look like soot sprites! I used them today and noticed a significant decrease in drying time. No static, and able to be scented with essential oils. A great alternative to polyester, single use dryer sheets." —Daria
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $18 (also available in 15 other designs).
Doughp
This is the bestseller collection, which features chocolate chip, rainbow sprinkle, cookies and cream, and chocolate s'mores.
Rebecca: I love Doughp! The cookie dough is so amazing raw, that's it's pretty rare for me to actually take the time to bake it. I love being able to keep a pint of Doughp in the freezer and always have the ability to bake a cookie or two when the craving hits. This is sure to be a hit with anyone who used to buy the Pillsbury cookie dough tubes from the grocery store and eat it like a Go-Gurt.
Get a four-pint pack from Doughp for $50.
Promising review: "This dress made me feel super comfortable and confident. The slit is [the] perfect length. I wore this in Hawaii. Was worried I would get too hot because of the material, but it worked out perfectly because of the slit. I love this dress and highly recommend." —Tarakaye
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 28 colors).

To use this, all you have to do is put a pearl-sized drop of your favorite cleanser at the bottom, fill with water up to the dotted line, and pump it until it creates foam.
Promising review: "This thing is the bomb. Does exactly what it advertises — makes a thick whipped cream/foam out of washes, making it economical as well as fun. It can 'soften' harsh washes to make the concoction gentler on skin. It's also great for mixing washes if you have two or more you'd like to combine for different effects. And of course, a little goes a long, long way with this puppy. For the price, it's a steal — if you're into this kind of thing. Definitely give it a try if you're not sure. It's a really cool device." —KnockKnockMe
