As a deputy editorial director on the BuzzFeed Shopping team with almost a decade in the lifestyle and service journalism sphere, I use my shopping editor eye to find and vet products across a variety of categories, including lifestyle, home, beauty, fashion, pets, cleaning, travel, aging, and more.

If you're tired of hoarding receipts in case your purchase ends up being mediocre (or downright awful) and needs to be returned — rejoice! You can safely throw away the receipt for these products, because they really work. From quick-acting laundry stain remover sprays and reusable pet hair rollers to hydrating leave-in hair detanglers that reviewers say may help smooth stubborn tangles fast, these products won't let you down.

1. A leave-in conditioning spray for curly hair for curly-haired and tender-headed tots (and adults!) that harnesses the hydrating, reparative, and detangling abilities of vitamin B5, jojoba oil, keratin, and more.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy.

Promising reviews: "I love that this detailer actually does what it says it's supposed to do. A lot of detanglers and leave-ins often only do one or the other. But with a few sprays of this bad boy, the kinks disappear! It makes it so easy to comb my 3-year-old's super curly hair." —Anissa

"Good product for the price. Does what it advertises." —J Duke

Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (also available in a two-pack).

2. A slicker brush if your fave fleece blanket or rug started out so cozy and plush, but now the once-fluffy fabric is clumpy, matted, and not so soft. This genius brush is designed to restore cashmere, faux fur, sheepskin, wool, and more, so it feels (and looks!) new again.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" —Renee

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

3. A Zep foaming wall cleaner to obliterate the dirt, pen marks, scuffs, makeup stains, and whatever else you've got going on without stripping the paint or finish from your walls, ceilings, cabinets, doors, baseboards, and even washable wallpaper.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I think the picture above (right) speaks for itself. Obviously, it's not all the way clean, but you can tell where I cleaned and where I haven't. I have tried so many other products to clean through the buildup of smoking in this garage. I love this product and will be buying only this to clean the walls of smokers and other walls. The price is great. As soon as I sprayed the cleaner, it immediately started to work. You don't have to use a lot of the product either. I have super sensitive skin, and it didn't bother my hands either." —Alice H.

Get it from Amazon for $5.47.

4. A ColourPop eyeshadow stick so creamy, smooth, and vibrant, you'll be absolutely chuffed to learn that it also stays for hours and hours without smudging or creasing. Seriously, one baddie wore it for a Niagara Falls boat ride, and the eyeshadow still looked flawless...and if you've been to Niagara Falls, you'll know what a feat that is to not get off the boat looking like a raccoon.  

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love how easy this eyeshadow stick is to use. It glides on smoothly, blends out without much effort, and then stays in place once it sets. The multichrome finish is so pretty—it catches the light and shifts colors beautifully. I wore it on its own with a little eyeliner, and it made my eye look much more polished in just a couple of minutes. The formula feels lightweight, doesn’t crease on me, and the color payoff is even better than I expected." —Gulmira

Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in four shades and bundles).

5. A nifty car seat buckle release tool — which you may recognize from Shark Tank! — that'll make traveling soooooo much easier. This genius gadget easily unlatches your kid's car seat buckle without ruining your manicure, and it's also great for older adults and folks who struggle to apply enough pressure to the buckle. Even kids can use it to unbuckle their seats (while parked, ofc!). 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

UnbuckleMe is a woman-owned small business run by Becca Davison and her mother Barbara Heilman, an occupational therapist and grandmother of four.

Promising review: "As soon as I saw this on Shark Tank I bought it. It was exactly what I've been looking for since I started driving with my new grandbaby. Like the grandma in the duo that invented this, I have arthritis in my thumbs. Many times I have struggled to unlock the straps, almost to the point of panic. Because of the stay home orders here, I haven't been able to use my new UnbuckleMe with my granddaughter in tow, but I tried it out without her in the seat and it worked exactly as advertised. Can't wait to use it with my granddaughter!" —Margery Smith

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

6. A time-saving fruit and veggie divider because quartering grapes by hand...yeah no thank you!! Parents swear this thing is so convenient because it easy enough and safe enough for their kiddos to use — and the little ones find it fun to use too!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the fruit and veggie divider in action. 

Promising review: "If you have toddlers, get it — especially if you're on the fence. I needed something for grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and other small fruits and veggies we go through so much. My breakfast was getting cold long before I was done cutting fruit for two toddlers. Most cutters only do one grape or berry, but this one can do several grapes and a small handful of blueberries. We will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it in this house." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $8.55. 

7. Some washing machine cleaning tablets for cleaning and freshening the inside while dissolving residue. You keep your washing machine open when it's not in use yet it still smells moldy. What gives?

Amazon

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! Over time, this grime buildup will make your washer stink badly. 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

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.98.

8. And a pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets if you want an equally easy way to clean your dishwasher — it blasts away odor, limescale, and grime as the machine runs. No need to sigh in frustration every time you open your dirty dishwasher to remove your "clean" dishes.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "his works well with my dishwasher and has a really great smell. I can’t say I know exactly what is happening inside the dishwasher's internals, but it does seem to be doing the job. Everything feels fresher after using it, and I’m happy with the results. A simple and useful product to keep on hand." —C

Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.98.

9. Some eye wash pads to gently clear any goop and crusty eye boogers that have accumulated on your pet's face. They're especially beloved by reviewers with senior pets, white dogs that get that reddish discoloration around their eyes, and smushed-face breeds.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are very gentle on my cat’s eyes. They gently clear up eye weeping from dust or a buildup of eye fluid due to allergens." —Barbara J. DiLuzio

Get 90 pads from Amazon for $13.62.

10. A box of Color Catcher sheets so you're spared from the major headache of your favorite white T-shirt and your new red denim jacket taking a tumble together, and your formerly white shirt emerging tinged pink. The sheets are designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds, so you don't end up with unintentionally tie-dyed clothes.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are awesome. My daughter throws everything in together (🙄), and these color guard sheets have kept her lighter-colored clothes from getting dingy. I use them when I’m washing something new that’s very colorful with other clothes in the same color family, in case there’s any dye bleed. It’s amazing how well they work. I’ve used two at a time before, depending on how worried I am about colors running. They’ve come out of the wash a very dark gray, showing me what a good job they’ve done. If, after a wash, I have one that picked up little to no color (nothing bled in the wash), I just set it aside to dry and use it the next time I need one. I take them when we travel in case I want to wash more things together than I would at home. It’s a time saver by doing fewer loads and also a money saver if I’m at a laundromat. I only use cold water or the lowest warm water setting when I wash things that might bleed." —MamaBear63

Get 72 sheets from Amazon for $11.57.

11. A lightweight firming gel cream from Nivea because your friends may think you had "something done." (That seriously happened for one reviewer!) With consistent use, you may notice plumper, firmer, more moisturized skin, thanks in part to a superhero ingredient called Q10.

www.amazon.com

Nivea recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 benefits the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

Get it from Amazon for $15.19 (available in two scents).

12. Erborian's CC Red Correct, a green-tinted color corrector that'll camouflage redness while moisturizing (thanks, glycerin) and soothing irritation (hello, centella asiatica). Reviewers with rosacea swear by this stuff, saying it's great on its own or under makeup.

www.amazon.com

My skin is a lovely shade of flushed pretty much all the time, which, before discovering this product, I tried to hide with foundation. Apart from the rosiness (and not in an angelic, cherubic way) on my cheeks, my skin is generally pretty clear (thanks, Accutane), so I don't love wearing foundation on my skin because it usually feels heavy or greasy. When I stumbled upon this product at a French pharmacy and it was almost half the price as it was in the US, I thought, Why the heck not? Fortunately and unfortunately, I absolutely love this stuff. It balances out the redness on my cheeks and the hyperpigmentation on my temples from old breakouts perfectly, and I feel comfortable wearing it alone without foundation. Also, fortunately, a little goes a long way so I still have a decent amount left in the tube, because, unfortunately, I will be buying this at whatever price they're charging when my current tube runs out. 

Promising review: "I had high hopes for this based on other reviews, and OMG, this product blew my expectations out of the water! I have a hard time finding foundations that match my skin shade, and doubly so since my cheeks have a perpetual flush to them. This CC cream just cancels out all the redness and transforms to match my shade almost perfectly. I literally stood in front of the mirror in disbelief as I applied it the first time. My skin looked so good, and I didn’t even need a true foundation! The CC cream is silky smooth and lightweight with the added bonus of SPF. I used a light application all over my face and built up coverage in areas that needed some extra correction. With a light dusting of powder, this CC cream lasted all day. It did not budge. And it looked amazing in photos, too! Best of all, it did not irritate my sensitive skin at all and was easy to wash off at the end of the day. Definitely a holy grail product!" —Celeste

Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in two sizes).

13. A mega-hydrating AmLactin intensive healing lotion with AHAs for very dry, flaky skin that's THIRSTING for moisture. Lactic acid basically unglues dead skin cells (which also makes it great for treating keratosis pilaris), allowing hydrating ingredients to penetrate more deeply, while ceramides help strengthen your skin barrier to keep moisture locked in. Another benefit: Lactic acid can help fade dark spots by encouraging cell turnover.

www.amazon.com

Note: AHAs can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so be sure to wear sunscreen while using this product.

Promising review: "WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT!?!?!? No other way to explain how this works. My elbows WERE gray, dry, and calloused. FOR YEEEEEARS, I suffered discomfort from the dryness; they always FELT bruised. But after just ONE application, THE DRY IS GONNNNNNNE. GONE. They still feel a little bruised, but they are SMOOOOOVE! And my heels??? My heels WERE cracked like the freaking desert ground, my bed sheets WERE always covered in white skin flakes, SO GROSS. But, after ONE pump and rub of this on my feet, WWWTTTHHH??? The next morning, I just could not believe how they felt. (I can't bend well enough to see the whole bottom of my feet, but they felt AMAZINNNGGGGG. My heels are no longer 'catching' onto my blankets, and no more layers of dry skin flakes on my sheets at the foot of my bed. JUST ONE APPLICATION! HOW????? I need to get some holy water here in this house, cuz this product is not of this Earth." —Jase Ann

Get it from Amazon for $15.97.

14. A pack of dishwasher-safe silicone pouch lids if you're tired of seeing a quarter of your kid's fruit pouch end up on the floor (and their clothes, and the couch, and the car seat). Now you can feel confident giving them food pouches! Inside the lid is a flow-control valve designed to stop spilling (even when little hands are squeezing the pouch) while still allowing them to suck.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

ChooMee is a small biz based in Northern California, owned by a mom, that specializes in innovative products that solve everyday feeding challenges.

Promising review: "These are AMAZING!! I feel like it is rare to find a product that truly works as well as advertised, but this one does. My 14-month-old, who loves to squeeze pouches and shoot the contents across the room, was able to eat an entire pouch on his own without spilling a single drop." —Shaun

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in five color combos). 

15. A nail grinder to trim your pup's claws so you can cuddle without getting scratches all over your legs and arms. It's super quiet and smooth, which is ideal for dogs who get spooked by regular nail clippers.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We have a zoo: two Boston terriers that hate getting their nails done and two kitties. So far, we have done the puppers; there is some sound, but it is quiet. The device came charged and has a very convenient and easy cord to recharge it. This product is great for maintenance, and I am so glad I found this and came across this item. The kitties are next; I just have to get them to sit still for a few minutes, which is a chore. If you have a chill fur baby, this is totally for you. If your pups are a little more anxious, it will take a little time for them to get used to it, but it is quiet and nothing like other products that I have had, where the minute you turn it on, they go running. I have turned this on a few times right up next to them, and they just don't care — this is a HUGE lifesaver. I would completely recommend this product." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $17.07+ (available in six colors).

16. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you can restore your walls and dressers when your little ones go Baby Picasso on your furniture with a permanent marker. It's equally good at cleaning filthy pots and pans, kitchen appliances, some jewelry, and other bits and bobs that you're currently considering tossing.

Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they are all so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" —May

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

17. A scalp scrub because loose flakes, dirt, oil, and product buildup are keeping your hair from looking its best. This luxe, foaming scrub lightly exfoliates with sugar crystals while moisturizing your scalp and strands with hyaluronic acid, balancing your skin's pH with sake water, and granting your hair a platinum-like shine. Reviewers rave that it makes their hair feel lighter, healthier, and shinier!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely loveee this scalp scrub! Been using it since 2020, and I’ve yet to find anything better. I love the consistency of the product and the rich lather it produces. The scent is also great. It smells fresh and clean, although it might be too much for people that are scent sensitive. I read someone complaining of the texture and saying it was hard to work through the hair; you are supposed to put some in your hand, add some water, and rub between your hands forming a rich lather, then work through your scalp. It removes buildup. My scalp and hair feel clean without feeling dry, and my scalp is healthier since I’ve been using it. Hair is fresh and has volume after styling, and my hair products seem to work better after use. The price is also great compared to other scrubs. The product has a good amount. A little goes a long way, so this lasts me about a year." —Shary

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents).

18. A snag repair tool that'll Uno Reverse the damage your kitty has inflicted on your poor couch. It'll pull the snag back through the fabric so you don't have to cut it and risk creating large, visible holes.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My ornery cat insists on snagging up furniture with her claws, instead of using one of the several scratching posts she has. As you can see, this Snag Nab-It needle/tool does a GREAT job, pulling the snags in — and hiding the damage, WITHOUT cutting any threads (avoiding creating holes)." —Betsy P.

Get it from Amazon for $3.39.

19. A pack of Downy wrinkle-releasing spray for taking your dress shirt from a crumpled mess to a professional-looking garment. Think of all the free time you'll have not having to iron your clothes each morning or drive to and from the dry cleaner each week.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We no longer use an iron at our house! We bought this originally for a cruise but were so impressed we continue to buy this! If you are on the fence, just do it. This is amazing stuff. All you have to do is spray, stretch/tug out the wrinkles, and go. So easy. Saves me so much time!" —absmobley

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99. 

20. A pet hair roller if you love your fur babies but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!

www.amazon.com

This is one of our2026 Buzzy Award winners! Check out the full list to shop all 100 picks, hand-selected by the BuzzFeed Shopping team.

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 colors and a portable style for on-the-go use).

21. A pack of foaming garbage disposal cleaners to deodorize your sink ASAP, because if you have to smell last week's rotting veggie peels for one more minute you just might scream.

Amazon

Promising review: "This product really works! We were dealing with a foul stench coming from our disposal for some time. We tried boiling water, vinegar, etc. This stuff sniffed out the smell real quick and deodorized it as well." —James Tiberius Kirk

Get a pack (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.96.

22. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so soap scum and shower grime buildup goes bye bye without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.

Amazon

This is one of our2026 Buzzy Award winners! Check out the full list to shop all 100 picks, hand-selected by the BuzzFeed Shopping team.

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, 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 $19.99+ (available in two scents).

23. A hard-working Dove intensive repair hair mask because your hair is begging for a little treat, too. Consider this miracle mask a one-way ticket to shinier, softer, stronger-feeling hair in just one (one!) minute.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I've been bleaching my dark-brown Asian hair blonde for almost 10 years (so I use the Intensive Repair formula — but the other formulas have fans with all hair types, including Type 3 and 4), and while I'm fortunate that my hair is pretty strong, it definitely needs some moisture and softness added back after a root touch-up. I'm very loyal to my current routine, so I was skeptical that this product would work as well, given the price — less than $10! — and the fact that you only need to leave it in your hair for a minute. Well, I could not have been more wrong! I truly see and feel the difference when I use this mask: My hair is softer, it's easier to blow-dry and style it, it's smoother (frizz is a big concern for me, especially when it's humid), and it just *looks* healthy. The delicious scent is an added bonus! I test a lot of products, so it's not often that I love something enough to buy it when I run out. This, though? This I will definitely be buying when the tub is empty!

Get it from Amazon for $10.88.

24. Manucurist's Active Smooth nail polish, a fast-drying polish that'll strengthen your nails, smooth the appearance of ridging and discoloration, and leave behind a rosy tint that still looks natural.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

As someone who is trying to break the vicious cycle of damaging gel manis, I'm a bit desperate for polishes that will last a while on my nails (one of the reasons I loved getting gel manis) *and* won't exacerbate the already sad state of my weak, peeling nails. This magical polish fits the bill exactly — it lasts about a week (which is a long time for a non-gel polish), looks really lovely and natural (it definitely hides the ridging I have), and it doesn't seem to dry out my nails or make them more brittle.

Promising review: "This is very high quality. I put this on my nails five days ago, and there is still no chipping. It feels nourishing on my nails and doesn’t have that nail polish smell. Plus, the nude color is beautiful (soft and natural). It looks like my nails were professionally done, and it did smooth out the ridges after application. Definitely recommend and worth the price." —AJ

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in four colors).

25. A Dr. Scholl's hydrating foot cream for anyone with heels so cracked and dry they snag on the bedsheets. Oof! This salve contains 25% urea, Epsom salt, and essential oils, a combo designed to hydrate and heal your skin for up 24 hours.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This cream went above and beyond what I expected. I just moved to a new area and found out that the water here is super harsh on my hair and skin. The bottoms of my feet were horribly cracked and dry. I was putting normal lotion on daily in hopes of helping it, but nothing really changed. I finally broke down and bought this, put it on one night, and the next day felt so much better already. You could still see cracking, but it was reduced drastically. I put it on again a day later, and now you genuinely couldn't tell I was ever having issues; my feet are smooth and healthy looking/feeling! It only took two applications for it to almost completely erase any issues. I'm so thankful that I ended up getting this; it worked fast and efficiently." —Nicole

Get it from Amazon for $5.89.

26. A pack of Snug Plugs if loose outlets are the bane of your existence. This'll solve the problem of plugging in your phone before going to sleep, only to realize the next morning that it fell out of the outlet and never charged.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Snug Plugs is a small business that specializes in home improvement products. 

Promising review: "Many of my appliances have a loose fit on my outlets, but with these in now, I don’t worry about my appliances being in a shortage because they fit so loosely. Definitely a quick, inexpensive fix to an annoying problem I had. Very satisfied." —Tania B. Delgado

Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in clear and glow-in-the-dark).

27. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) to 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 $12.49.

28. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement so your poor pooch can find relief from skin sensitivities and allergies. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to help improve immune function, aid digestion, promote healthy skin, and add shine to a dog's coat.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine... nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly that he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews, and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great, and all of his sores are healed. He’s the happiest he’s been, which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats... he eats these every time, so that’s an added bonus!" —Darcie Nation

Get 50 chews from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in a variety of flavors, styles, and sizes).

29. A bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater spray because, yes, it's for messy eaters, but it's also for muddy footprints, pet accidents, period-related stains, and more. Parents swear by this stuff for its magical ability to make that mess *poof* disappear without using chlorine, perfumes, and sulfates. I'm not a parent, but I am giddy at the thought of not having "period" underwear anymore because I can just spray the stains away.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I will shout this from the rooftops: This is hands-down the BEST stain remover for clothes! As a mom to a messy, fun-loving 2-year-old boy, I’ve seen my fair share of stubborn stains. From food to dirt, this miracle spray gets everything out. I try to spray it on as soon as the mess happens, and I haven’t had a single stain it couldn’t handle. I recommend it to all my fellow mamas! I even use it on our adult clothes, and it works just as well — with zero skin irritation. Total game changer!" —Megan Mullis

Get it from Amazon for $7.97(available in three sizes and multipacks). 

30. A peel-off lip stain that looks blue in the tube and on your lips. But fret not — it peels off easily and leaves behind a long-lasting flush of color that won't budge, smudge, or transfer.

Promising review: "Y’ALL. I am 50-something years old and have tried every 'longwear' and 'stain' there is, from department store robbery level to 'bitten' or whatever the vampire lip stain Revlon had out a while back. At my age, I longed for a lip color that didn’t leave my telltale wrinkled lip impression on a glass. But alas, all of the long-wear formulas were disappointing, dull, and, most of all, DRY. I was skeptical, but I have spent waaay more on crappy lip potions that I won’t use but apparently keep to torture myself about my wasteful spending. The purple was shocking, and the first time I used it, I sprayed and peeled pretty quickly, lest I end up with 1978 Donna Summer disco-era hologram lips that I definitely could not pull off in my office. And to my amazement, that stuff STAYED ON. Not dry, not seeping into cracks, not sticky, not weird tasting, not staining my teeth. Just like a 'bitten lip' — a slightly tinted natural color was there. The longer you let it sit, the darker it gets. After a FEW glasses of wine, pasta drizzled with a really good olive oil, salad, and dessert, there’s STILL some color! Stayed on through smooches, too." —Kelly K.

31. A 100% copper charm for extending the life of your cut flowers simply by chilling in the vase along with them. Copper is naturally anti-microbial, so it should help keep the water clean, which helps keep your blooms looking perky and fresh.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

You may have heard that a copper coin in a vase will help flowers last longer; however, pennies made after 1972 are mostly zinc and less than 3% copper, so if this trick didn't work for you in the past, you may want to try these 100% copper charms.

Promising reviews: "The copper hearts really work. The water in my transparent glass vase stays cleaner longer. I still change out the water and trim the stems, but not as often as I used to. The cut flowers stay fresher longer. I like them so much I've purchased more copper hearts for my family who enjoy cut flowers too." —Judith R. Harmann

"Hydroponic house plants are everywhere now, and I find them easier to care for, plus no dirt for cats to fiddle with. However, after a while, the roots tend to get algae buildup. These little stars have really tamed that problem: Every few months, I rinse the roots, gently remove any algae tendrils (very, very few), rinse this star, clean the inside of the glass vase, and refill. Keeps the water clear and the algae down for months. NOTE: I WOULD NOT USE THIS WITH FISH BOWLS." —Just My Opinion....

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two shapes and multipacks).

32. A teeth-whitening pen if you avoid smiling with your teeth, so folks don't see your yellowing teeth. This brightens without the irritation of whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.

Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

33. The VT Cosmetics Cica Reedle Shot, a K-beauty favorite "microneedling" serum to inject your skin full of skin-tightening, tone-evening, barrier-boosting ingredients — no needles required. Reviewers especially rave about this serum's ability to reduce the appearance of pores and give your skin that glow. (Seriously, one reviewer said people asked if they were pregnant because their skin was so glowy!)

This stuff is strong and can cause a tingle when you apply it. Be sure to conduct a patch test before applying it to your face, and start slow and low. Mild 50 and 100 are better for beginners and sensitive skin, while 300 and 700 may need to be worked up to over time. 

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this skincare product! It works so well, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin since I started using it. My skin looks healthier, feels smoother, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!" —E

"You can feel this working immediately. It’s probably the best spicule cream I have used so far. I have large pores, and nothing I have used has helped make them smaller. This actually makes a slight difference. It’s not massive, but enough that I notice it. There’s no scent, which [I like]; I prefer my skincare products not to smell too much at all. They need to work, not smell pretty. Definitely happy with this random purchase. I notice my skin is more hydrated as well. Usually, in the morning, I wake up, and my skin is a little dry. This has changed that." —Maria Page

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four strengths).

34. A waterless car cleaning spray so your ride looks "as nice as it can get short of a full detail," according to one reviewer. There's no water and no pre-washing required; just spray, buff, and wipe for that mirror-like finish.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am not one to rant about/praise a product BUT, this 66-year-old guy with arthritis just used this one on a 2015 MKX and a 2020 black RAM 2500, and I am obsessed. This went on easily, wiped and buffed out BEAUTIFULLY. I have used many products over the years, and absolutely nothing compares. VERY pleased with the product, and the lack of joint paints post completion. Got both cars done in about two hours. One bottle did both vehicles with an ounce or so left over. THANKS for creating a GREAT product!" —Dave Mercer

Get it from Amazon for $69.97 (also available in multipacks, bundles, and refill sizes).

35. A beeswax wood polisher because it'll revive your embarrassingly worn, dinged, and dented cabinets and table, quick as a flash. Plus, this method is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing the wood or furniture piece, and using this polish on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer.

Promising review: "Amazing difference! My lab puppy scratched up the trim and doors in our house. This stuff works like magic and holds up so well! Will always have this on hand! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!" —Dkn

Get it from Amazon for $11.49.

36. The Mark, a tranexamic acid serum that targets pesky dark spots and discoloration and brightens pigmentation in as little as two weeks with consistent use. It has a gel-patch texture, so it sits where you apply it and locks in rather than slipping and sliding, and plays nicely with other skincare or makeup you apply on top of it.

Promising review: "The formula is smooth and lightweight, blending seamlessly into the skin without leaving any residue. I used it on areas with hyperpigmentation like my cheeks and chin, since I prefer to treat dark spots in a targeted way." —skynimbus1

Get it from Amazon and Eadem for $38.

37. A pack of Burt's Bees cat wipes for keeping your cat's coat soft, shiny, and free of dander and flakes. It's made with aloe vera and oatmeal to condition dry skin and reduce redness.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Our son was having a lot of dander on his back near the base of his tail. We kept up the brushing, but it wasn't going away. Looking at the reviews, I decided to go for the dander wipes. Well, I have used them twice and was blown away. His dander is pretty much all gone now. Plus, his hair seems shinier and silkier after his brushing and using the wipes. Not to mention our baby boy looks just like the cat on the packaging. All around, I will continue to buy these and use them once a week or twice every two weeks to keep up his beautiful orange coat. Thanks, Burt's Bees!" —Tom Cincotta
