1. A pair of *affordable* down-alternative cooling pillowsif you're a particularly sweaty sleeper.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My philosophy: You need to love your job and love your bed because that's where you spend most of your hours. Anyway, I don't work anymore but I dang sure love my bed! High-quality mattress, nice linens, and THESE pillows! They are PERFECT!!!! There isn't a single thing that can be improved because they are like sleeping on a cloud that supports you perfectly. 100 out of 10 stars! We stayed at the Aria in Vegas for my bachelorette party and had several rooms. The first morning, we were ALL talking about the pillows! I'm pretty sure these are the same ones!" —Shawna Hathaway

Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes). 

2. Some TikTok-viral Biodance bio-collagen sheet masks that deeeeeply penetrate skin with oligo-hyaluronic acid and ultra-low molecular collagen — the combination of which helps to refine pores, improve elasticity, and visibly moisturize your skin. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Oh…my god….🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? Put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like a had fillers. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks <3" —Kichi

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $19.

3. A ChomChom roller ready to put your regular old lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets ’til you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a long-haired German shepherd, aka a 'German Shedder,' and two cats, so I live with animal fur — nothing I can do about it, or so I THOUGHT. The ChomChom is by far the best way to get rid of animal fur, in my opinion. This thing is godlike, it makes fabric look so fresh, works perfectly on my suede couches and leaves that 'soft suede' look on them. It does what it's supposed to do perfectly, and it captures all the hair in an easy-to-clean bin. Works excellent on items like furniture and upholstery/car interior. Items like clothing or curtains need to be held down because of the rolling back-and-forth motion. I think it would make an AMAZING gift for anyone with pets." —Victor T

4. Some Lee Beauty callus remover that eliminates the hard skin on your hooves (ahem, :::clears throat::: feet) if you're too terrified to face the glorified cheese grater at your local salon. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions. I left it on my super dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those used tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents).

5. A couch caddy so you can keep your three comfort beverages and TV remotes right by your side — no worries about spilling or losing anything between your cushions. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this couch cup holder tray. I made a small, portable office in my bedroom. I often work from the bed so I can keep my feet raised to prevent my ankles from swelling. I put the couch cup holder tray on the bed next to me and kept the TV remote, my tablet, my drink, and other items in it for easy access. I moved all over to see if the tray would tip, but no tipping occurred. (Note: I have a firm memory foam mattress). It is sturdy, easy to clean, and doesn’t tip over when you move around. Because of its size, you can use it anywhere…like on the couch or when you are outside sunbathing or working on the deck/porch. It is a good buy for the price!" —Amazon Customer

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

6. A reed diffuser — in your choice of nearly a dozen scents — for those who've had some ~spooky~ experiences with candles. Incredible scent + no open flame? Yes, please!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

PS: It comes from a small biz! Sweet Water Decor is a woman-owned, Pittsburgh-based shop that specializes in home decor + gifts. 

Promising review: "I LOVE this product. I get a lot of compliments whenever people come to my home because it smells so good. The scent easily fills a medium-sized room, and it lasts for months. Whenever I run out, I immediately buy another one." —as

Get it from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in 12 scents). 

7. A Venus Visage teeth whitening pen to help brighten your smile by four to eight shades with regular use. This is sure to help whether your stains are due to coffee, tea, more coffee, wine, yet more coffee...or soda. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I really liked this product because it gave me significant results in just a few days. I have tried other whitening products, but I definitely think this one is my favorite because it's not only easy to use but also works very well. There is also no weird aftertaste, and all I do is keep my mouth open wide for around 30 seconds. The whitening capabilities were also great, and I know this because my teeth were stained before, but now they are not. Lastly, these pens were very easy to use because all you have to do is twist the dial at the bottom of the pen clockwise, and the product comes out. So overall, I would rate this pen a 10/10, and I am definitely planning on buying more." —Roy Joseph

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.95.

8. A bottle of COSRX snail mucin repairing essence that addresses dullness and dehydration with — yes 😌 — 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! 🐌  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: 

"I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!"

Promising review: "The reviews didn’t lie! This serum is amazing. It is better than my $125 department store brand! Some people said it felt slimy, but if you’ve used other serums, there’s no difference in texture. I wait ’til it’s dry before adding my moisturizers and am very pleased!" —MAK

Get it from Amazon for $18.95.

9. A phone/tablet/Kindle stand so you don't have to sacrifice peak comfort to hold your device at a convenient angle. Add a remote-controlled page-turnerto the mix, and you can even bundle up completely — no need to have a single hand out in the cold (aka the only part of your body not under the blankets).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "When I first saw this, I immediately thought it was completely ridiculous. But it kept popping up in my periphery, and one day, after seeing it on YouTube, I bought it on impulse, along with a page-turner. And so glad I did! It is so easy to clip in your Kindle and twist/extend it into the perfect angle, and the bowl is a great spot to stash my page-turner, earbuds, etc. Paired with the page turner it's a total game changer, you can get cozy under blankets and not even have to move your hands, which is significantly more comfortable for bedtime reading (and safer — who else has dropped a Kindle on their face??). I am very nearsighted, and it's easy to tuck the pillow in and angle the Kindle close to my face. I also like using it just in my lap, where I can elevate the Kindle and avoid neck and wrist strain on those long reading sessions! I don't even feel embarrassed when my husband makes fun of it; it's that good :P If you love your Kindle, you will love this pillow!" —J Thornberg

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

10. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess mascara to give you a falsies-level look for less than 5 bucks. It seems questionable, I know, but for confirmation you need only to look at the 263,000+ 5-star reviews!!

Kayla Boyd / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd tried this out and raved: 

"As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes, and I'm terrible at applying them), this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes without the discomfort."

Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect, and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like wild...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E Miller

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

11. A "snackle" box you can fill with all of your favorite goodies so you can park your butt on the couch and not have to get up for anything anytime soon. You could even use it to make an adult Lunchable or a massive spread of chips and dips. 👀  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I originally bought this tray to prep pizza ingredients to make the pizza assembly process easier with lots of people involved. It worked like a charm. But then, I decided I could also use it to prep and store fruits and veggies in the fridge. MY FAMILY NOW SNACKS ON FRUITS AND VEGGIES! Game changer. Seriously, having ready-to-eat healthy snacks has made a big difference in our house. And the items stay fresh way longer than other storage I’ve used in the past. It’s also easy to bring out at mealtime without extra work. It does clean in the dishwasher, but cups always turn over. I recommend hand cleaning the lid, too, as one of mine started to twist a little, but it is still very usable. I like that they stack well in the French door fridge, which is a space saver. Overall, it's a great product, and it should last a while. Excellent value, as now I don’t throw out old fruit and veggies as much. Highly recommend. Sous chef’s kiss." —CL

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

12. A colorful pan — from BuzzFeed's Goodful line — that's not just cute but has the ability to kick all of your other dented and scratched pots to the curb as it can pan fry, sauté, sear, boil, simmer, blanche, braise, poach, deep fry, stew...and more but I'll stop myself there. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I waited to write a review until I'd actually tested the pan, and after using it for 2 months, I can honestly say that it is amazing! It's the best cookware product that I've ever used, as it heats up evenly and cleans so easily (even the bottom of the pan still looks new). I am currently looking at other Goodful products to replace my other pots, so YES, I'd highly recommend this product!" —Johnny O

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in eight colors; and check out the matching pot here!). 

13. Some Elizavecca Cer-100 collagen coating hair protein treatment — it's just $7 and reviewers claim it delivers results just as impressive as another brand that may or may not rhyme with ~PolaFlex.~ 

Bek O' Connell / Via www.buzzfeed.com

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I saw this as a beauty recommendation on BuzzFeed as an alternative to Olaplex (which I had tried and wasn't blown away by) so I thought I would give it a try — and I'm so thankful I did! My bleached and heat-damaged hair feels so soft, is more manageable, and looks healthier after each use. I agree with other reviewers that it seems like a big price tag for the size of the bottle, but a little bit does go a long way, and it is so worth it. I wish it came in a larger size bottle so I didn't have to reorder so quickly." —Carly S. Whitson

Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

BuzzFeed editor Bek O'Connell has this and loves it! Check out her full Elizavecca Protein Hair Treatment review for more info. 

14. An as-seen-on-Shark Tank seat gap filler you can pop in your center console to ensure you never drop another french fry, phone, or credit card into that evil little crevice!!! 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check it out on TikTok here

Promising review: "I bought this product because I saw it on Shark Tank. I was a little skeptical at first, so I installed it and tried dropping my car keys into the seat gap, and surely enough, they wouldn't fall in. I tried dropping them from every position: in front of the seat buckle, behind the seat buckle, in the middle of the seat gap, you name it, and no matter where I put my keys, they just wouldn't fall through. This product should be in every car! I'm so impressed by this product I've bought additional Drop Stops for every member of my immediate family." —Amazon Customer

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.

15. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles. One layer is regular firm ones, and the other is longer ones that are 10 times thinner and mimic floss as they get between your teeth but are gentle on your gums. 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

Promising review: "I've been using Dr. Plotka's toothbrushes for a while now, and I can't emphasize enough how good these are. These, hands down, are the best I've ever used. The bristles are very thin so you are actually flossing as you brush. Because the bristles are as thin as they are, I just assumed they'd wear out super fast, but I was wrong. The statement 'naturally eliminates 99.9% of bacteria' hooked me, and I'm glad I took a chance. The bristles are soft — but with a punch. I'm having to use less effort getting my teeth clean because the thin bristles get right in between my teeth. I definitely highly recommend this product." —Lisa Stepanski

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90

16. A veggie chopper so you can dice up an onion as impressively as former VP Kamala Harris. If you haven't seen it, I'm gonna need you to open another tab and promptly google "Kamala Harris and Mindy Kaling cook masala dosa" because, man, it is a thing of beauty. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out aTikTok of their veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "This is the best of its kind. It cuts great and is very sturdy — I had been using a lesser model. I even cubed chicken breasts today, plus cauliflower, onions, and more. I was a chef for 30 years, and I love this so much I had to review it straight away!" —david fasnacht

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five colors). 

17. A Simple Modern tumbler if you're looking for an option that will keep your drink cold for 24+ hours and don't really care about the name brand. 🤷‍♀️ It also comes in a bunch of pretty pastels and checkerboard prints, sooo it's really a no-brainer. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Many reviewers said they find themselves drinking more water when they have a straw and the fact that it's so dang cute doesn't hurt either! 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I finally decided to hop on board the hype train for these big tumblers and am already obsessed with my Simple Modern one! I opted for the mint green color and it's as pretty as I'd hoped in person. The fact that this has both a straw and a handle means I end up carrying it around with me and drinking WAY more water than I did before. BTW! I highly recommend getting straw covers to protect against dust and germs — as pictured above, I got cute cloud ones (like these), and they work perfectly!" 

Promising review: "If you have been wanting a Stanley cup, believe me, save yourself some money and get this cup! You will end up with a better cup than the Stanley! I have dropped/tipped over this cup a couple of times and only a couple of drops of water come out. If I did that to my Stanley, water got everywhere! And this cup keeps the water so cold. And if you purchase silicone straw toppers, it keeps the water even colder! Also, it fits in my car cup holder, and my Stanley really didn’t. Love this cup!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and 28 colors). Also available in a style without the handle!

18. Some of L'Oreal's 8 Second Wonder Water which will visibly moisturize your hair so you can whip your 'do around just like a Jennifer (your choice of Aniston/Garner/Lopez) in a hair commercial. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one, I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one because of the alcohol consumption. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this! I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing, and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey

Get it from Amazon for $9.97.

19. Asatin pillowcase that will prevent you from flipping and re-flipping your pillow in a desperate bid to chase the cool side. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am blown away by the high quality of these affordable satin pillowcases. This is the third brand I’ve tried, and these are hands down the winners. The material is high quality and feels silky and durable (yet soft and supple). The stitching and zipper feel like they will last. (I will update if that is not the case). They fit beautifully and look great. I am so impressed, I plan to buy other products from this brand." —Cathy H.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes, packs of one or two, and in 18 colors/patterns). 

20. A new duvet so you can swap up the look of your bedroom for less this spring. Furniture is costly and often requires assembly, but fresh linens? You can snag that for less than $35!

Amazon

Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful! I got the terracotta color, and it's very pretty. The fabric is soft, and it's very easy to use, and the zipper is well-hidden. Extremely satisfied!!!!" —Dawn Lynn

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes Twin–Cal King and 18 colors). 

21. A Tonymoly blackhead scrub stick that may be smol but is mega mighty. With a few swipes, it gently removes blackheads, whiteheads, and excess sebum so your T-zone can get a much-deserved breather. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, and then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

Get it from Amazon for $12.50

22. A leave-in conditionerfor little ones with curly locks that are prone to tangles and breakage. Keratin, plum seed oil, and olive oil combine to leave them with shiny, healthy, incredible-smelling ringlets you can't help but sniff. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This leave-in conditioner has been amazing not only for my 18-month-old's curls but my hair as well! It smells amazing, is very hydrating, and is well worth all of the hype it gets! I have seen a few negative reviews about alcohol being a main ingredient, but the agent being used is Cetearyl alcohol, and this is actually a HYDRATING agent that's used in a lot of beauty products. People see the word alcohol and immediately assume it is drying, BUT the chemical composition of this specific alcohol is great for hair that needs more moisture! I just felt the need to write this review because I have looked for a great hair detangler/leave-in for so long (and have even used luxury products), and this one has been our favorite by far :)" —Taylor Rose

Get it from Amazon for $9.69+ (available in packs of one or two).

23. A grooming glove so you can give your pet all the love they desire while covertly brushing away mats and tangles, too. Use it on wet or dry fur (it's great in the bath) and on your feline friends as well.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was pretty skeptical of this goofy-looking glove. But I saw it in an article of '21 Things You Must Have for Your Cat' and figured, what the heck. My big Maine coon freaking loves this thing. It is mess-free. My favorite thing about it is all of the fur comes off in one piece. It's not messy. And this is half the price of the ones you see at the store in the 'As seen on TV' section. Gonna make it a lot easier to brush my fluffy cat every day." —Breeze

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

24. And a fur-eliminating broom capable of squeegeeing enough fur from your carpet that if magically animated — you know, like those brooms in Fantasia — it would transform into a Pekingese.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "After 14 years together, I finally let my husband convince me to get an indoor dog. He's a 60-pounder now and sheds so flipping much. My mother-in-law bought this for me, and I was so skeptical I didn't use it for about a month. Once I did, I was amazed at how much this thing picks up, even after sweeping with a regular broom. I couldn't STOP using it! The size is able to reach further under chairs, tables, and couches than I could with a broom and reaches places my vacuum can't. It picks up SO MUCH dog hair. I use it twice a day to keep my floors clean. I have even used this behind my bedroom dresser to reach YEARS worth of built-up dust that hadn't been touched." —Tina

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four configurations).

25. A pack of K-Cup cleaning pods that're basically like a full-body tune-up for your coffee maker. Just look at the nasty stuff it flushes out!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "OK, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle, and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0, and I had no issues." —Mads0421

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.

26. A bottle of dog spot repair if your puppy has a favorite pee spot and it shows... This stuff will get new grass growin' in no time so you can get ready to host your legendary BBQs.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: “We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. Works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off, though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!” —Jessica N.

Get it from Amazon for $16.44.

27. A tub of The Pink Stuff that can clean anything you throw at it be it shower fixtures or toothpaste-covered countertops. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check it out on TikTok here!

And here's what BuzzFeed editor/The Pink Stuff fan Heather Braga has to say: 

"After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning."

Promising review: "For those who gave less than 5 stars…what were you trying to clean? I had built-up grease on the backsplash behind my stove that I hadn’t noticed, which had probably been there for years. I’ve tried pretty much every product on the market — they didn’t work. This product took that grease off within seconds. That worked so quickly. I was so happy I started cleaning other items: the stainless sink, oven, and microwave. This is the best thing ever — and if they increase their price to $50, I’ll still buy it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE." —RVT

Get it from Amazon for $5.29.

28. A tub of Juno & Co.'s cleansing balm as it combines the powers of pearl barley and vitamin E to brighten skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, refine texture, and remove impurities (or, say, 10 layers of mascara). 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes micellar water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1,000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick

Get it from Amazon for $14.99

29. A set of Miracle-Gro spikes guaranteed to revive your potted plants with all of the micronutrients they've been missing. They're safe to use with any indoor plant and work for a full two months.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of the package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violet plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower, too! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy-looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

Get them from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in packs of 24 or 48).

30. A HyperChiller beverage cooler that allows you to turn hot coffee into iced coffee in 60 seconds flat. Just make a promise to yourself — that you'll fill the container with water and keep it in your freezer so it's always ready when you need it.

www.amazon.com

The dishwasher-safe container can also be used to cool chill tea, juice, wine, or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either.

Promising review: "I am an avid (i.e., daily) iced coffee drinker, but I have been extremely hesitant to make my own iced coffee at home because I didn’t want the bitter flavor from two-day-old coffee or the watered-down nature of just adding ice to coffee. Thanks to the HyperChiller, I have now found a solution!!! The HyperChiller worked like a CHARM today!!! I was able to create my own iced coffee directly from my coffee maker in the comfort of my own home. I guarantee this item will be used frequently! Great job!" —Chelsea

Get it from Amazon for $12.75+ (available in five colors).

31. A magnetic meal planner you can stick right to your fridge so you can easily keep track of the week's menu and any groceries you may need to pick up. Go ahead and write down ice cream bc you know whether it's on there or not, you're gonna buy it. (As you should.🍦)

Amazon

The notepad — from woman-owned small biz Bloom Daily Planners — has your meal plan on one side and a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off and take with you on the other side.

Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping, and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone and then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. It being magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.

Get it from Bloom Daily Planners on Amazon for $7.95+ (available in five designs).

32. A pair of prism spectacles if you always have a boatload of work to get done but just can't drag yourself out of bed... Now, you can still clock in or finish that essay you've been dragging your feet on without even sitting upright.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd

33. A decorative cat towel that'll silently watch you microwave your day-old pizza or scroll TikTok on the toilet. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I did not buy this to actually use as a towel. To me, it doesn’t seem like it would be good at serving this purpose as the material is not very absorbent. However, it is great for decoration purposes. It is really, really adorable! I love how there’s little snap buttons to keep it in place. I highly recommend this as a decorative gift for the cat lover in your life or for yourself if you love kitties! Great purchase!" —Crystal

34. A set of heel caps so you don't become one with the Earth during the 10+ summer weddings you have coming up. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." —J L D

35. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets you can affix to your fridge and then quickly crosscheck when you're in the middle of making chicken fingers. That way, you don't have to wash all the eggs and breadcrumbs off your hands and fumble with your phone to pull up Google.

www.amazon.com

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

Get them from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in black, white, and a Spanish version).

Promising review: "Never thought something analog would be SO useful in my daily routine. I work from home and am constantly project managing multiple complex strategic projects. Having pertinent information directly in front of me and top of mind has done incredible things for my productivity. Never would have imagined it would make such a difference. For a nominal investment, I highly recommend it if you have trouble keeping up with things." —Captainflapjax

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve had a dry, flaking scalp for about a year now (pretty much started when I was pregnant and hadn’t gone away). I got this, and HOLY MOLY, my flakes are gone! It’s made out of a silicone-type material, and the little 'bristles' are flexible but still get the job done. I can literally brush my hair with shampoo, and it doesn’t get tangled. It’s amazing. Not only do I have zero flakes now, but I feel like using this does a way better job at working the shampoo in and getting your hair and scalp really clean. I have super thick hair, and no matter how much shampoo I use or how long I scrub my hair, I feel like the back, underneath part of my hair, would sometimes stay dirty. This brush gets all that." —Meg R

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

40. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks for just $10 (!!) if you've been hesitant to drop $$$ on a singular Laneige lip mask

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams, for the entire set. So, even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal! 

Promising review: "It’s been four months since ordering this, and it’s now part of my nightly routine. I can’t go to bed before putting this on. I highly recommend this! And it’s worth it to get the three-pack. The flavors are not overly sweet, and I think my favorite is the berry. I like it more than the Laneige night lip mask. For me, Laneige absorbs pretty quickly, and in the morning, I feel like my lips are dry again. With these, my still lips feel moisturized in the morning. It has a thicker consistency. I used to get dry/peeling lips pretty often as I’m outdoors/in the ocean a lot. However, since incorporating this into my routine, I haven’t had peeling lips in a long time. Loooove these!" —Angela

Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six combos).
