1. The Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle, because any hydration enthusiast will be blown away by this guy. It has a genius design with a metal straw inside but silicone straw on top for drinking comfort — and it LOCKS *with the straw in place* for zero leaks, even if you hold it completely upside down. Um...Stanley who?!
I have the Simple Modern one too, and it's great for being at home and drinking water at the perfect temp. *But* if you're worried about leaking AT ALL (or prefer a metal + silicone combo straw to plastic), the Brumate Era is 100% wizardry, sorcery, and magic. It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours — I've had cold water stay COLD for ages in this bottle! The tapered base is also cupholder friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist, and throw it LITERALLY SIDEWAYS in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all! And...if you've seen some of those videos about hidden mold in certain lids...know that this disassembles incredibly easily, so you can just toss the pieces in the dishwasher.
Promising review: "As a nurse, I know we are picky and loyal to brands of pens and water bottles. I’ve had a Stanley, Owala, and a giant Hydrojug. This tops them all! I had ice from over 24 hours left! It fits in my car cup holder, the handle is sturdy, the straw breaks down easily for cleaning, and it’s TRULY leakproof! Yeah, the straw is exposed, but I just wipe it down with little alcohol wipes from work before I drink from it. Those who say the lid is hard to get off, you have to turn the lid to drink mode to unseal the lid, and then you can turn it. LOVE THIS!" —Dani
Get the 40-ounce size from Amazon for $44.99 (available in six colors, plus a 30-ounce size).
2. Drywall repair putty to help you easily seal up cracks, nail holes, or any other damage to your walls. Just swipe it on, dust off excess product to smooth it out, and then paint over. Yep, this is pretty much a renter's must-have.
Promising review: "This is so much easier to use than a spackling paste. As soon as I opened it, I tried it on a recent nail hole. Now I can't remember where it was because the product made the hole disappear!! Magic!" —
Get one from Amazon for $10.95.
3. A standing weeder, a genius tool to help you use the magical force of leverage to pry up weeds without having to bend or kneel — saving you time *and* saving your back and knees from the stress and strain of regular ol' weed-pulling.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.
Promising review: "If you’re like me, you’re wondering if spending $40 on a gardening tool is worth it. My friends, IT IS. I’ve been eyeing this tool for some time now and finally pulled the trigger, and I’m beating myself up for not doing it sooner. I have pulled 10 gallons of dandelions out of my yard in about two hours. This is pure magic. It’s actually fun to pull weeds. In the past, I would try to rid myself of dandelions with broadleaf spray, but it never worked, and I wasted my money. This works every time and cuts chemical use! Win-win! Just buy it already and thank yourself later!" —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon making tools for gardening. They've been making this tool since 1913!
4. A bottle of CND SolarOil, a nail and cuticle oil to help your nails grow and grow (no peeling!), and keep your cuticles nourished and soft, no matter how much hand sanitizer you're using. Just massage in the jojoba oil and vitamin E–infused formula daily.
Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I am not kidding you; this is my first Amazon review ever. Just a few weeks ago, my nails were brittle and pealing, I always had my nails done, and they were pretty much destroyed… then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try, and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you’re thinking about buying this… buy it!" —Jocelyn Nackley
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
5. A pack of duster sponges, especially since the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster seems to be constantly sold out, and these are totally similar, for less! Just dampen the sponge and wipe whatever surface needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface. Just rinse clean, and you're done!
I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!
Promising review: "These are exactly like the Scrub Daddy's. Only hella cheaper." —kr425
Promising review: " I had low expectations for this. But I'm really happy to find that they do work really well for a much better price than the name brand. It's pretty much the same as the name-brand damp duster, except that the grooves are slightly wider. Dusted the tops and fronts of my cabinets in about five minutes, but I'm most impressed with how well it removes pet hair from my couch and clothes, even better than sticky rollers. I have Pomeranians blowing out their winter undercoats, so it's my new fave thing." —onon
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in six color packs).
6. A dozen Bottle Bright tablets that'll deep clean your thermoses and on-the-go bottles — no scrubbing required. These'll get into all those hard-to-reach spaces and remove *all* the gunk.
7. A microfiber cloth to remove every single trace of dirt and makeup (even waterproof formulas!) with just water. And the cloths are super soft, so you won't have to resort to harsh scrubbing that can dry out your face.

9. A neck pillow that'll make sleepless red-eye flights a thing of the past. Just twist it into any of several possible different positions so you can get actual rest — without your head bobbing up and down. Imagine arriving at your destination actually rested — amazing.
10. Suguru, a self-setting rubber adhesive with the power to fix just about anything, from dishwashers to iPhone cords. You can fix fraying wires, hang pictures (without a nail), create ergonomic grips on tools, and soooooo much more.
11. A wad preventer, because balled-up sheets that NEVER seem to actually get dry?? Not on my watch! Who has the time?! This genius invention will keep the corners from getting bunched up to increase your tumble and decrease your dry time.
Just tuck the corners of your flat or fitted sheet into the holes to prevent tangling and twisting aaaand (according to the manufacturer...and backed up by reviewers) improve dry time by 75%!!!!!!!!
Promising review: "Best purchase! You wouldn't think a small product like this could make a difference, but it makes a world of difference! I am amazed and so glad I found these. Gone are the days of wet clothes being wrapped up in sheets or having to continuously check the dryer to untangle sheets. I will be purchasing more of these for myself and buying some as gifts!" —Becca

Wad-Free is a small biz, and their products are made in the USA.
12. Or for non-sheet loads, a set of extra large wool dryer balls that'll ensure your laundry dries quicker and gets softer than ever — *25%* faster. Those towels that take FOR-E-VER (The Sandlot voice) to dry? No more.
Promising review: "I was excited but skeptical about this product, but I just used them for 4 loads of laundry, and they are awesome! I would normally have used about 20 dryer sheets, but I just used the dryer balls instead. My clothing, towels, and sheets came out of the dryer wrinkle-free, soft, and with no static cling. I am buying the lavender essential oil to try. I used to spend quite a bit of money on fabric softeners and fragrance boosters. I am thrilled not to have to add a bunch of chemicals. The scent is lovely and clean, even without adding the oil. Best purchase of the year." —mskrippers
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
Woolzies is a small business, and these dryer balls are made in New Zealand from 100% wool, and they're hypoallergenic and safe for people with wool allergies! For an extra boost of scent, you can add your favorite essential oil to the balls, too!
13. A compact Verilux therapy lamp (called the "Happy Light") that casts UV-free, full-spectrum light to mimic the sun's rays. Reviewers with insomnia, seasonal affective disorder, and even those who work in an office that's low on natural light swear by these.
14. A stainless steel, dishwasher-safe ice cream scoop with a ~chiseled edge~ and ergonomic grip to make dishing up a sundae feel less like arm day at the gym.
15. A pair of TikTok-famous Cushionaire slide sandals that seem to get more popular with every passing day — and for good reason. Reviewers swear the molded cushioned footbed (made from a *waterproof* foam) stays comfy for hours and hours, whether you're using them as at-home slippers or actual outside shoes.
I bought these myself last year and they're all I wear at home. Especially when cooking or baking, these babies help cushion my feet on hard floors so they don't ache!
Promising review: "Wow!!! Best slides I’ve ever had. I have designer slides, and these surpass. True to size. They are super light but sturdy to walk, even on grass and on uneven side walk. Used them to walk my dogs and don’t get my feet dirty because of the wedge height. I’ve put them to the test and I’m Ordering in more colors and a backup pair. They are also stylish, so they look cute to wear out. Ordered the orange, which is like a camel color. Highly recommend!!!" —Krizia
Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase I’ve made! I have spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis, so I get horrible back, leg, and foot pains. This literally helps relieve my pain while I’m working and standing on my feet. They are super cute I get tons of compliments on them, and they are breathable, lightweight, and easy to keep clean. Perfect for Hawaii weather! 💁🏽♀️ There are other brands that look like this, but don’t be fooled, THIS is the brand that is the most comfortable I have other brands, and they don’t cut it!" —Chelsea Proenza
Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 5-12 and 30 colors).
16. A foaming carpet shampoo people love to use on their car interiors. And with all the ice cream cones I've dribbled in my life, I can CERTAINLY understand why. And anyone with a dog? Yep, you need this.
It's citrus-scented, so after it FOAMS AWAY deep-set stains, you'll be left with a refreshing scent rather than "Old McDonald's Fries."
Promising review: "This stuff is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I posted before-and-after photos (above) for you to see for yourself! My 1996 Toyota Camry is 23 years old — this is the original carpet! It took me exactly three hours to clean this carpet, and I will tell you this: IT WAS WORTH IT!" —treylee

18. A nongreasy eye cream designed to deflate your under eye bags, hydrate your delicate skin, and brighten your under-eyes, thanks to a blend of aloe, rosehip seed oil, and vitamins C and E. Under-eye bags and circles are natural and NBD, but helping reduce their appearance can make you ~feel~ more awake!
19. FryAway, a plant-based solidifying powder capable of turning leftover cooking oil into an easily disposable solid, so you *don't* end up pouring grease down the sink and dealing with clogged pipes later on. And it hardens completely, meaning no leaking in the trash!
Just sprinkle a packet of the powder into your *hot* oil, wait for it to cool down...and toss! FryAway is available in two sizes: Pan Fry (which comes with four packets, each capable of solidifying two cups of oil) or Deep Fry (which comes with two packets, each capable of solidifying eight cups of oil).
Promising review: "Honestly, I didn’t know if this would work; waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature, it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

22. A set of Rubbermaid produce-saving containers that'll regulate the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide, keeping fruit, veggies, and greens fresh for 80% longer... and saving you money.

Promising review: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on the scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there’s not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" —Claire Blanchard
Promising review: "Best buy of 2022. I’ve bought this product because I was influenced on TikTok. I suffered from hair loss in 2022 and was trying to find a solution. I’ll leave this product on my scalp for two hours at a time and then wash out. I have noticed a huge difference in my hair health and my scalp health. Once I finish this bottle, I will be reviving this product." —Ashley Reese

Promising review: ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS OOOOMMMMGGG!!! I was skeptical at first, but given the reviews, I figured I’d give it a try. I’m African American and have curly, kinky coils... in between the realm of type 3/4 idk to be honest. All I know is that when I went to detangle my fro after a long day, this brush easily slid through. I had to double take! I didn’t have to pretangle with a wide tooth comb; I just dove right in. My hair is THICK! After each stroke, I kept looking at the brush like, “What type of sorcery is this!? And to top it off, ZERO BREAKAGE!!! Buy this brush!!!!!" —Amazon Customer

32. A bottle of Chamberlain's Leather Milk conditioner that'll bring new life to your furniture, shoes, handbags, and more. It's like a time machine for dull, scratched, or dried-out leather, is what I'm saying.

Promising review: "This is some kind of sorcery... There's no other explanation. I stopped straightening my hair (2c/3a/3b, very thick and coarse) several years ago because it was just too much trouble. I've NEVER been able to straighten with a brush and blow dryer, only with a flat iron — and it took two hours. This magical appliance did the job in 26 minutes. AND it didn't leave my hair super flat so that I would then have to curl it. My hair has volume (even at the roots!) and movement, and it's soft and shiny. I would recommend using a heat protectant and watching a couple of YouTube videos if you're not familiar with straightening with a brush and blow dryer. But this thing is absolutely amazing, and I am thrilled with the results. Unless it breaks tomorrow, it was well worth the price, and I highly recommend it!" —Stephanie Cunningham
Get it from Amazon for $38.48+ at Amazon (available in five colors).

47. A scent-free, biodegradable odor eliminator for those stinks you didn't think you'd ever smell the end of. It bonds with ~odor molecules~ to get rid of the stink without leaving any perfume-y smells behind.
48. A pair of Bambody period undies with a protective leakproof layer and a moisture-wicking bamboo fabric to keep you dry and comfortable, whether you're using them as backup protection or full coverage. (They can hold up to four tampons' worth!) Unlike pricier brands, reviewers love that these feel like "normal" undies and provide more protection.
The leakproof layer is PFA-free also — learn more about that testing here.
Promising review: "I’ve tried these, Hanes, Thinx, and Victoria’s Secret period underwear. These are, by far, the best and most comfortable. I use them for leak protection, overnight, and on light days. I ordered one size up from my usual size." —Victoria
