I am a contributing writer based in Brooklyn who previously held roles at BuzzFeed including Commerce Writer, Senior Entertainment Partnership Manager (Streaming Lead), and Streaming Editor.

1. A Brickthat helps you stop doomscrolling by temporarily blocking distracting apps and notifications on your smartphone. Perhaps this subscription-free setup and simple tap-to-block design will add just enough friction so that you can regain control of your day. (I say, with bloodshot eyes, staring into the depths of my computer screen.)

Brick

Promising reviews: "The Brick phone blocker has been one of the most effective tools I’ve used to reduce screen time and stay focused. It’s simple to set up, works reliably, and creates just enough friction to keep me from mindlessly reaching for distracting apps. The physical aspect makes it much harder to override in a moment of weakness. If you’re serious about improving focus, productivity, or being more present, this is absolutely worth it." —Nat

"Wow, this product has completely exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t sure at first if the Brick could actually keep me off my phone, but it’s genuinely changed my screen time habits. I’m getting so much more done during the day and finishing my work earlier because I’m able to stay focused and be more productive. Even my boss has noticed the difference, but I’m keeping this little device my secret. I’ll let him think it’s all me. 🤓" —Abby W.

Price: $71

2. A home office "lap desk"to make your current WFH couch setup not only practical (with its built-in phone slot for multitasking, cushioning, and ventilation) but stylish, too (with a handful of beautiful wood grains, among other materials to choose from).

Amazon

Promising review: "This lap desk exceeded my expectations. My 16-inch laptop and wireless mouse fit perfectly with room to spare, making it the ideal size for comfortable computing. It's lightweight, ergonomic, and sturdy enough that I can work for hours on the couch or in bed without discomfort." —June Hansen

Price: $34.99+ (available in nine colors/materials and a style with a wrist rest) 

3. A sleek Philips Hue light tubeso you can add a dramatic wash of color to your TV setup, gaming station, or favorite corner of the room. You can even sync its changing white and colored lights with your entertainment for a truly immersive experience.  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am using this light behind my entertainment center to light the wall behind my TV. I have it hooked up to my Hue TV Sync box, so it responds to the colors on the TV, but you can use it without and manually set the colors of the light in the Hue app. It can get nice and bright and throws light far away. The colors are vibrant, and the soft whites look soft. Love it." —Juniorverse

Price: $249.99 (available in two sizes and in black and white)

4. A waterproof and dustproof Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker that delivers quite a sonic boom despite its ultra-packable size. You'll appreciate the rugged IP67-rated design for beach days, and backyard hangs — not just while you're hanging around indoors. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The audio performance is astonishing for its size. The bass is surprisingly deep and punchy, the mids are clear and detailed, and the highs are crisp without being harsh.

What truly impressed me, however, is the PositionIQ technology. The speaker automatically adjusts its sound profile depending on its orientation, whether it's standing upright, lying flat, or hanging by its utility loop. This seamless adaptation ensures optimal sound quality in any situation, a feature I've found incredibly useful.

The battery life is excellent, easily lasting through a full day of listening, and the Bluetooth connectivity is rock-solid. The IP67 rating provides peace of mind, knowing it can withstand dust and water, making it perfect for outdoor use.

While the price point is higher than some other Bluetooth speakers, the Bose SoundLink Flex delivers a premium audio experience that justifies the investment. If you're looking for a portable speaker that combines exceptional sound quality, rugged durability, and intelligent features, the Bose SoundLink Flex is a clear winner. It's a pocket rocket of premium sound that I highly recommend." —Emery G

Price: $149.78+ (available in seven colors)

5. A trusty tempered glass phone screen protector... because I'm no mathematician, but preventing a $1,000+ phone from scratches, scuffs, or, god forbid, its total demise, seems worth the few bucks. The kit comes with an installation frame for easier alignment — plus three protectors jic!

www.amazon.com

Compatible with just about every phone size under the sun. 

BuzzFeed's Elizabeth Lilyswears by this product. She writes: 

"It comes with everything you need to install the screen, including cleaning wipes and dust-removing stickers. And when the protector catches your phone's fall and cracks (as seen above), it does a good job of staying put until you need to remove it. This is one of the first things I started buying consistently after joining the BuzzFeed Shopping team, thanks to compelling Amazon reviews, and I swear by it now."

Promising review: "Today, my daughter SLAMMED my truck door shut, and it bounced back open. She looked down, and her phone was what stopped it from closing. She picked it up, and the bottom corner was shattered. We took the screen protector off, and her screen was perfectly fine. To say I’m SHOCKED that the phone was still in one piece would be an understatement. 1000% recommend!!!" —Debra J

Price: $6.98+ (available in dozens of sizes)

6. A smartphone sanitizer — that's a dual-charging box with bacteria-fighting ultraviolet lights — that'll keep your germaphobe tendencies at bay. All it needs is 10 minutes to work its UV-C magic — no liquids, wipes, or chemicals necessary.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I work in a large dental clinic with 50+ docs and even more assistants. Anyone who knows about dentistry knows that there are a lot of aerosols given out during almost every procedure. Since we don't have a radio in the operatories, I've had to use my phone for music. Before PhoneSoap, I had to wipe my phone down every time with Cavicide wipes...not the best for your phone. Enter PhoneSoap! I'm able to sanitize my phone without destroying it with cavicide! We've even tested and swabbed the phone for cultures before and after...this sucker works! Hands-down, great investment. I'll be buying another one for the home because this one is staying in my office." —James

Price: $89.95 (available in six colors)

7. A tiny USB mouse jiggler to keep your cursor moving automatically, so your computer registers activity even when you're away from your desk. Plug it into a USB port and let it do the fidgeting for you — because maybe you work for a company that conflates being "active" 24/7 on Teams and Slack with "doing your job." 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings, and I use it on the minimal movement, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" —Isaiah

Price: $9.99 (available in two colors). 

8. A silicone cord wrap with a snap closure for your perpetually knotted-up electronics. Say goodbye to that tangled mess at the bottom of your bag!

Amazon

Promising review: "My sister-in-law is a busy mom with a bunch of kids and barely any time to get ready. So when I heard she was always misplacing her earbuds and that was eating into her gym time, I hopped onto Amazon and grabbed her the cutest earbud organizer I could find. She loves it, and it really helps because she can tuck it in her bag and even attach it to some of her workout bags." —TheOrdinaryHiker

Price: $4.99 (available in 11 colors)

9. A smart mug so you don't have to keep taking trips to the microwave to heat up your morning brew. Control the temperature of your beverage using your phone and watch the LED light glow when it's reached (and stays at) your perfect temperature.

Amazon

This mug is designed with a built-in, rechargeable battery and an LED light that indicates when your drink has reached a perfect temperature. 

Promising reviews: "I honestly went into this thinking that this product would not work as I envisioned it in my head, but, oh my god, it's unbelievable. I loved it so much that I bought the larger 14-ounce one. I find myself drinking my tea faster. What I love is that no matter what I am doing, even when I get super busy, I return and my tea is still nice and warm, the way I like it. Definitely a must if you are a tea or coffee drinker." —TS Jones

"I love hot coffee but hate when it gets lukewarm. Always feel like I’m rushing to finish it. With the Ember, my coffee stays the perfect temp the whole time. I’m looking forward to my morning cup 100x more now, and I enjoy every sip. Love this product." —Chris Smith

Price: $89.99+ (available in two sizes and in four colors)

10. A Twelve South AirFly Pro if you're looking to ditch the headphone jack without ditching your favorite wired-audio setups. Plug it into an airplane seat or gym equipment, then connect your wireless headphones or AirPods over Bluetooth. With 25+ hours of battery life, you can make it through a full day of travel without ever reaching for the charger.

Amazon

Promising review: "Worked as advertised with Delta’s IFE systems! Easy to connect, and sounded great with no noticeable latency! Right out of the box, I was able to use it on four different flights with no issues! It did stay connected for the duration of a 7.5-hour-long haul flight!" —Camryn

Price: $52.80 (available in 10 colors) 

11. A Snooz white noise machine for an efficient way to drown out street noise, snoring, barking dogs, or other unspeakable things that have been keeping you awake at night. This small but mighty gadget uses an actual fan inside to create soothing, nonlooping white noise that can be adjusted by tone and volume across 10 settings.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this thing. Ever since having my children and using white noise with them, I can’t sleep without it myself. All the other ones I tried were either too fake or my brain would find the loop, and it’s all it could focus on, or with other fan-like ones, the sound wasn’t right or loud enough, and they weren’t able to be connected to an app to change the volume. At first, I thought this item was way too expensive, but man, I would have spent less money if I had just bought this one first instead of all the others. Highly recommend it. I’ve used it every night for the last year and a half and no problems with it either."—Sarah D

Price: $99 (available in silver and charcoal)

12. An Anker power bank with a built-in USB-C cable and enough juice to charge phones, tablets, and even laptops on the go. Yep, that means it's particularly useful while traveling (and outlets are scarce).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This Anker power bank is super popular, super hyped, every tech influencer has it and talks about it and says 'you should buy it.' And honestly, the reason is that it really does what you need it to do. It outputs enough power to charge a MacBook in a pinch (I have an M1 Max for work), and it's got built-in cables, so you don't have to always carry extra USB-C cables to plug in and charge. Just about anything you need to charge, you can plug into this its' very convenient.

It even supports passthrough charging, so you can use it as something of a charging hub, plugging it into your wall plug to charge, then plugging other devices into it to passthrough-charge overnight.

It's a bit heavy, but really, what power bank that outputs this much power and holds this much charge isn't? It's honestly an indispensable part of my EDC loadout now, and I never think now about whether I'll have enough charge for any of my devices during the day." —Leandro Villanueva

Price: $119. 99 (available in black and silver)

13. A handheld "sweep and swipe" laptop cleaner tool that everyone seems to be in agreement on: This is a tool every laptop user and desk luncher should own!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am one of those people who eat while on my computer, and the keyboard collects a lot of crumbs. I have been thinking of getting something that really works to catch them all, and this is it! It is easy to use, gets all the crumbs and anything else in a minute or two. I am buying more as gifts because no one should be without one." —Lisa Abeloff

Price: $12.95

14. An Anker wireless charging pad that lets you power up your phone or AirPods simply by plopping them on top. No need to worry about taking off your phone case — it can charge through cases up to 5mm thick.

www.amazon.com

Compatible with: iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, iPhone 14, 14 Plus,14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max

Promising review: "This is a great wireless charger. I have one at home and one at the office. Prior to buying the Anker wireless charger, I was using a competitor brand. The other brand only lasted a couple of months. This has lasted a very long time. I purchased several of these as gifts." —Andrea

Price: $18.99+ (available in black and white).

15. A pair of privacy screen protectors to help keep your texts, emails, and questionable Google searches between you and your phone. Sorry to your nosey seatmate on the subway!

www.amazon.com

Compatible with eight iPhone models, including up to 17 Pro. 

Promising review: "It’s been about five months since I purchased this screen protector, and I have to say that it’s held up well. The screen is beautiful when off. I’ve had a lot of compliments on the screen protector, and after five months and a few light drops, it hasn’t cracked or gotten scratched up (minus a few light scratches on the screen). Well-made and, overall, a great screen protector. Installation is pretty easy with the kit it comes with, and I still have the second unused that I may end up switching if at some point the screen actually cracks." —Timothy Jay 

Price: $15.99+

16. And while we're at it: a privacy screen protector for your laptop that filters blue light and makes your screen impossible to read from the sides.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have never had one of these screens before, so I was not sure what to expect. I was in a meeting, and my neighbor asked what I had done to make them unable to see my screen. I did not notice a difference as I was looking at it head-on. So it works! I told them and where to get one. Perfect for when you are in a public space and want to keep what you are doing private." —Ramona

Price: $19.99+ (available in 22 sizes)

17. A set of armrest pads so your wrists stay cushioned and comfortable while you respond to another round of pointless emails all afternoon.

Amazon

Promising review: "I use these pads all the time. I'm sure it's not ergonomically correct for me to rest my wrists on my laptop while I type, but it's hard to kick bad habits... so if you're in the same boat with the same annoyingly sharp edges on your Mac, these puppies are the perfect solution. They significantly extend my comfortable writing window." —Samuel N.

Price: $12.98 for a two-pack (available in two sizes)

18. A laptop stand that basically doubles as an air conditioner for your computer, using thermoelectric cooling to rapidly pull heat away when things start getting toasty. Plus, the adjustable height and angle, along with a 360-degree rotating base, let you dial in a setup that's actually comfortable.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "It looks small but is surprisingly heavy and therefore stable, even when using the swivel function. I love that the fan itself is removable and has several positions. The fan is not loud at all. Keep in mind the fan is not rechargeable and does need to be plugged in via USB-C the entire time it's being used. This stand is great for mobile use, especially when I want to use my walking pad under a table/desk — since I don't have a standing desk. There are lots of feet and grips for nonslip, which I deeply appreciate lol. Time will tell how it holds up, but I love it so far." —Mamma Bear

Price: $59..46+ (available in black and gray) 

19. A wall-mounted outlet shelfto give you a convenient spot for your phone, smart speaker, toothbrush, or other small essentials, with built-in cable management to keep cords from dangling everywhere. A great reminder that your outlet could be working a lot harder for you! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great bathroom shelf for my wireless charger. It would also be good for an electric toothbrush charger. The cord is safely wound between the two top layers. No dangerous electric cords near the sink, and it looks so much neater. Very easy to assemble and install." —Sarah Applegate

Price: $9.99+ (available in three sizes)

20. A memory foam "gaming pillow" with armrests, pockets, and a flat top that'll turn your couch into a surprisingly legitimate workstation, gaming setup, hell — even a crocheting surface. Heaven really is having all your essentials within reach!

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I love this for crocheting! Perfect elbow support. I can be comfortable and have plenty of room for reading my pattern on my iPad. I can also set up my phone and watch TV all at the same time! Very sturdy! I can also drop little things like my crochet hook, remote, and tape measure in the side pockets to prevent the couch from eating my stuff! I absolutely recommend this for my fellow crocheters!" —Sam Shelton

"I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and it also has little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield 

Price: $49.99 (available in gray and dark gray)

21. Or: an adjustable "pillow phone stand" to go fully hands-free while scrolling. The lightweight pillow base sits on your lap or wherever you park yourself, and the adjustable dual-jointed arm and 360-degree phone clamp let you position your screen exactly where you want it. Tech neck whom? 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I watch/use my phone often when lying in bed. I'll watch a movie or do social media to try and relax. I put this guy on my belly and adjust the phone arm. It works SO WELL!!! I don't have to get a cramp in my hand from holding my phone. The device is accessible, so I can push all the phone buttons. This has got to be one of the most-used and most useful items I have ever purchased! Hours of use. Durable. BUY THIS!" —Big Rudy

Price: $34.99+ (available in three colors)

22. A travel-friendly rotating phone mount because you can't ever be too certain your flight will have a TV these days. The clamp attaches to surfaces up to 1.5 inches wide, while dual joints and 360-degree rotation let you switch between portrait and landscape with ease. 

www.amazon.com

Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go. 

Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." —Earendil

Price: $12.99+ (available in 10 colors and multipacks)

23. A pocket-size HP Sprocket photo printer that connects to your phone over Bluetooth and uses zero-ink technology, so there are no ink cartridges to fuss with — just load the paper, pick a photo in the Sprocket app, and become the most popular person at the function in seconds.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

PS: You canbuy extra paper here. 

Promising review: "Omg this is so cute!! I absolutely love this, and I already know I’m going to be using it so much. I printed my first picture, and it looks amazing! I think some people who complain about the quality expect it to be super high quality, like getting them printed at Walgreens, etc., but for this little device, it does great work! I also really like that no ink is needed; that’s the main reason why I purchased this. I didn’t want to buy paper AND ink. Buy it! It’s great!" —Izamar

Price: $89.89+(available in five colors and three sizes)

24. A pair of stretchy silicone Strapsicle hand strapsto make holding your Kindle one-handed feel a bit more natural. They wrap around the corners of compatible Kindle Paperwhite models and help avoid what I'm calling "Kindle face" (dropping your Kindle on your face). 

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Does your hand fall asleep holding your Kindle? Are you accident-prone to dropping your Kindle (especially in the pool)? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this strap is for you! Love mine!" —Joni Deus

"I stopped dropping the Kindle on my face at night after buying these. 100% recommended if you love reading but don’t like hand cramps." —Melisa V|

Price: $19.99 (available in three sizes and eight colors)

25. A Furbo 360 pet camera that lets you check in on your pet from pretty much anywhere, with a rotating view that follows them around the room, two-way audio so you can say hello, and a treat tosser for when a little long-distance bribery is in order. You can even receive push notifications when your pup is barking!

www.amazon.com

It features real-time two-way audio, color night vision, and a 360-degree rotating 1080p camera.

Promising review: "Having cameras inside the house is nice for checking on the dogs. Having a feeder where you can watch your dogs eat is better. Having a camera that can swivel to check where your dogs went and feed them? Perfect. The setup was easy, and I was up and running in no time. I have no regrets making this purchase, and I’ve gotten my dogs used to the new camera, and they definitely enjoy all the treats being dispensed. It’s also nice to be able to talk to the pups and stop them from doing stuff through the mic. Highly recommend for people who aren’t at home a lot and worry about their pets and just want to give them some loving while you’re busy." —Eugene

Price: $184+ (available as a dog- or cat-specific camera and as a mini/non-rotating mini) 

26. A passport holderthat comes with built-in Apple Find My tracking, room for up to four cards, RFID protection, and wireless charging, so you can keep your travel essentials together and rest easy knowing it just got a lot harder to ruin your heavenly vacation. 

Amazon

Promising review: "This was great for our European travels and held two passports as well as cash/credit cards without being too bulky. I loved the ability to add it to my ‘Find My’ devices just in case. It felt sturdy and looked good for a good price." —pconley 

Price: $59.99 (available in three colors)

27. A sunrise alarm clock from Hatch — with a sleekly curved and attractive putty-fabric body — so you can wake up to a simulation of the sun rising rather than a heinous beep.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The Hatch Restore 3 is awesome and has been a game-changer for improving both the quality of my sleep and the regulation of my sleep cycles. The nighttime meditations and sound melodies are amazing for people who struggle to fall asleep. They guide you into hands-free, calming relaxation without the need to use your phone before or after, allowing you to seamlessly transition into sleep and avoid the harmful effects of late-night screen time on your sleep. I’ve also loved how the addition of the Hatch allows me to leave my phone outside of the bedroom, making it a more calming and peaceful space. In the morning, I’ve found that the gradual, slowly brightening alarms on the Hatch have helped promote a regular sleep cycle where I naturally wake up with ease rather than being jolted out of bed and spiked with stress by a blaring alarm.

The seamless and modern design looks amazing on any nightstand and avoids the eyesore of clunky, techy, and rigid traditional alarm clocks, but offers even greater benefits. Overall, it’s a small, sleek addition that truly brings great impact to your sleep, which in turn guides so much of your energy and mood during the daytime. It’s a must-have for anyone's bedroom and an incredible and caring gift to share with others; I highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
