1. A Michael Scott/Prison Mike reversible dishwasher magnet to put an end to the never-ending battle of knowing whether your dishes are clean or not. Prison Mike is going to scare you straight away from using that bowl that is *not* in fact clean for your cereal.
Promising review: "We needed a way to end the constant 'Are the dishes clean or dirty' question that seemed to be hollered out several times a day. We love the Michael Scott character and this was perfect. Gives us a chuckle every time we flip it over. It's a strong magnet, but not so strong you can't easily peel it up to flip over. Doesn't slide down the dishwasher door — stays where you put it. We love it." —KAC
Get it from Amazon for $2.99+ (available in two varieties and a two-pack).
2. An adorable toast night light that is sure to bring a smile to your face every time you look at it. Not only will it set the vibes, but it's also dimmable for your different energy levels.
Promising review: "Lights up my little heart! Am I a grown woman? Yes. Does this little toast light sit next to my bed and make me so happy every morning? Absolutely! I have only charged it once, and it lasted a long time on that one charge. It’s easy to carry around for movie night in case you need a quick light but not too bright to ruin the mood!" —jessica
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors).
3. A giant beanbag chair just like the one you always dreamed of having as a kid, except now ~adult~ size. Unlike other versions, this beanbag chair uses foam instead of beads so you don't have to worry about slipping into what seems like quicksand and struggling to get yourself out.
Promising review: "I had contemplated buying one of the expensive Lovesacs but decided to roll the dice and try a less expensive option. Found this product, read the reviews, purchased and hoped for the best. OMG! It’s HUGE (bigger than I imagined in my head) and SO comfortable and supportive. You don’t sink down to the floor like in a traditional beanbag, as this doesn’t have 'beans' inside. Setup was so easy. Going to order another one for my adult son, who just got his first apartment. What a great product and a BIG money saver." —Brittany W.
Get it from Amazon for $217.85+ (available in 23 colors, 2 styles, and 2 fabrics).
4. A set of delightful fruit-inspired coasters that are honestly so cute you could leave them out even when they aren't being used.
Promising review: "Are you kidding me? How could anyone rate this anything less than 5 stars? Mine arrived fairly quickly. They are colorful, and the pattern is exactly as pictured. They are wrapped individually. What a good buy! I plan on using mine in a door wreath because they are perfect for decorations." —J&SZ
Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $4.99.
5. A car mirror swinging duck accessory who is about to become your new BFF. You're just gonna be mad you're sitting in traffic instead of on a swing next to this lil' guy.
Promising review: "Saw it one day when I was just browsing. That’s usually dangerous, I know. It’s actually heavier than I thought it was going to be, in a good way though. It’s not cheaply made. I’ve gotten a few laughs from people in other vehicles. Only side effect is if you get upset at other drivers, it isn’t very intimidating when you’re giving the mad stare. LOL. I was pleased with the purchase in all." —Charles Ramsey
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in 11 other animals).
6. Or a pink cowboy hat disco ball car accessory because who can feel down when they are around a disco ball, let alone a disco ball wearing a pink cowboy hat! It just so cute (never thought I would be saying that about a disco ball, but here we are)!!
Miami Design District is a Florida-based Etsy shop that specializes in handmade car accessories.
Promising review: "Legit the cutest thing i have ever bought. Looks just like the pic and the packaging was adorable! Legit in love." —Avery Forbes
Get it from Miami Design District on Amazon for $5.49 (originally $14.99)
7. A slushie maker if you spend all year waiting for July 11 when you can show up to 7-Eleven and snag your free Slurpee. Instead, you can just whip one up whenever the craving hits (aka prob once a day…at least).
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first but tried it. Made cherry Coke slushie, WOW!!!!! It’s a keeper. Great buy, you won't be disappointed. They say to use small ice 🧊, but I noticed it melts too fast and freezing was longer. Use regular ice cubes to make the freezing process 15–20 minutes." —Mo Lammy
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two versions).
8. A unique, curvy ceramic vase that looks like it should cost at *least* $50 but really it isn't even $20. But that's a secret you don't have to tell… XOXO, Gossip Girl.
Promising review: "Stunning! This looks like it could be sold at West Elm for sooo much more. It’s such a steal, feels quality, and gives your arrangement such a striking look." —Rachael S.
Get it from Amazon for $13.45+ (available in four colors).
9. A 5-pound bag of the literal best gummy bears reviewers say are wayyy better than the normal name brand you've been eating for years. Plus, if you're only a fan of one or two flavors, you can get a gigantic bag of just one type, so you don't have to sift through the variety pack picking out all the orange bears.
And if you wanna switch it up, they have all kinds of different shapes — worms, butterflies, frogs.
Promising review: "I was eating a different brand of gummy bears, a well-known brand, and I really liked them a lot. They were 'filled' with juice, I think, but they often arrived sticky and were a much higher price. I couldn't believe when I tried these how much better they were!!! OMG, I'm never going back to the other brand. This is like a secret. I can't imagine any gummy bear lovers not loving these! So far, they are the very best, no other ones even come close!!! If you've been eating another brand and want to give a different one a try, DO IT. You will be pleasantly surprised. These are my absolute favorite snack treat now!" —Sage
Get them from Amazon for $14.09+ (available in 10 flavor options and multi-packs).
10. A pack of four "licorice" straws that are actually made of silicone, but will surely transport you to the good ol' days of biting the ends off the candy and drinking your soda through it. Maybe you can even placebo effect yourself into thinking it makes water taste a little bit ~fruity~.
PS: These come from a small biz! They're dishwasher safe and come with a brush to help clean inside 'em.
Promising review: "Now that reusable straws are becoming more and more popular, especially where we live in California, I figured it would be great to have a little fun. These are great for kids as well as adults, and they work really well! I will certainly be ordering them again." —Joshua Epstein
Get them from Amazon for $10.49.
11. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener perfect for anyone who wants to trick everyone around into thinking they got a full nine hours of sleep when in reality they got maybe six. 😖 This stuff is basically the makeup of the future because it's designed with color-adapting formula to help your bags ~disappear~, giving you instant coverage with a lightweight feel.
The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. Been using it for a month. I was looking for something I could wear every day for my light makeup routine. I have very dark circles and struggle to find products that work and still look natural. Especially when it comes to blending, as most under-eye products are super thick and end up looking cakey. Literally wasted hundreds of dollars on prestige brands at makeup stores claiming to neutralize undereye bags that looked awful. Decided to try this out after seeing it on Amazon and reading the reviews. I absolutely love it! It goes on very smoothly and blends perfectly. Many days, I don't even have to put concealer or foundation over it. I still sometimes do if I want a fuller makeup look, and it blends seamlessly with anything put over top. It's not full coverage, but it really helps with the dark circles. I like that it looks natural with my fair skin. The price is fantastic as well! No complaints 😃" —SMH
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades)
12. A pair of seamless Nippies silicone pasties so you can achieve that smooth, nip-free look you're going for without having to add an extra layer (aka more reason to *sweat*). They're also a great option for backless and strapless tops when you do not wanna have bra straps ruining the whole vibe.
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc — nothing budges them), but then they also peel off so easily. It’s magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I’ve got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I’m suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it’s minimal. They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition. I will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras!" —Alison
Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades, a lifting option, and two sizes: one that fits cups A–C and one that fits cups D+).
13. An appetizer tray with nine compartments so you can set out all your fave snacks and dips. But the standout here is the hidden ice section underneath the compartments so you can have your snacks right next to you on the couch without worrying about them getting warm and nasty.
Promising review: "Perfect veggie tray! Holds a lot of food, easy cleanup, and the ice keeps the vegetables fresh for a long time! Highly recommend!" —Nate Vergara
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
14. Coppertone Glow with Shimmer Sunscreen Spray because WHY would you use regular sunblock if you could literally get all the protection with the addition of ✨glitter✨?!
Promising review: "LOVE this. I no longer forget to put on sunscreen, as this is part of my new routine. Love the shimmer (much more than anticipated), especially on my arms and legs. Face might be a bit much, but prevents a burn for the win." —Tawny Stammen
Get it from Amazon for $17.44.
15. A ceiling fan carbon filter designed to turn your fan into an air purifier instead of a home for loads of dust buildup. These work by filtering the air with every spin to help remove pollen, pet dander, smoke, gasses, chemicals, and other allergens that are living in your house.
Note: It is recommended that you replace these every three months or so to make sure they are still filtering the air to the best of their ability.
Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
16. A set of instant cocktail packets so you can enjoy all your fave summery beverages without having to buy loads of ingredients, or worse, paying like $20 for one at the overpriced beach bar. These are perfect for tossing in your purse or pool bag so you can make your fave refreshment whenever you please.
Craftmix is a small business that specializes in instant drink mixers.
These are all vegan and gluten-free — all you have to do is add booze, water, or the seltzer of your choice!
Promising review: "These margarita mixes are absolutely perfect for hanging out with your girlfriends. They are so refreshing when mixed with tequila and sparkling soda. There were enough drink mixes for 12 margaritas. I also dipped the glasses in rock salt. Great value for your money. I'm going to purchase more for our taco night." —Suze
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 10 different flavors, including a variety pack and a pack of 24).
17. A cupcake scooper with dispenser that'll revolutionize your baking game!! After using this once, you'll wonder why you ever used the spoon-and-finger-scrape method to fill your cupcakes. With the push of a button, you can easily scrape all the batter off the scoop so you get every last bit while making sure each spot is evenly filled.
Promising review: "Don’t think twice — just buy it! This has revolutionized cupcake/muffin making. No more using your finger or extra utensils to scoop the mix into the tins. You can measure out exactly how much you need to scoop and then just push the button up, and the mix glides right into the tins with no mess." —Dorothy H
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two colors).
18. An Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil designed to help eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum without clogging your pores. Reviewers are raving about this stuff and some even say you can see the gunk coming out!!
It's recommended to use this as a step in a double cleansing routine, which is a method of cleansing your face twice — first with an oil-based cleanser, and then again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the gross stuff out of your pores.
See why this reviewer loves this cleansing oil for glass skin on TikTok!
Promising review: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin; however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom, and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" —Myshel Cagle
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
19. A popular foot exfoliant peel that is both horrifying (!) and satisfying. After wearing the booties for an hour, you will watch layers of skin peel away (over the course of 6–11 days) from your feet to reveal a smoothness you haven't experienced since you learned to walk.
Check out a TikTok of the foot peel in action.
Promising review: "I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok and boy, am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet. And let’s be honest, the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) But oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use)...two weeks later, BOOM, baby soft feet. It came with two soaking uses so I used the second on my sister. 10/10 would recommend!!" —Alma Elias
Get two pairs from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in two sizes, eight scents, and three quantities).
20. A WD-40 pen that's wayyy more convenient than the typical spray, so you can get those squeak-free doors in an easy-to-use, precise application pen. Not only does this quiet down those annoying hinges, but it also protects against corrosion, loosens rusted parts, and drives out moisture, just like the OG version.
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.
21. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier so you can stop pouring oil into a makeshift tinfoil bowl in your sink's drain — where it lives for hours while it solidifies (anyone else? Can't just be me…). Just sprinkle the powder in while it's hot, let it cool, and easily dispose of it in the trash!
FryAway is a woman-owned small biz founded by Laura Lady who specializes in planet-friendly ways to dispose of oil.
See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." —Ryan O.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two styes).
22. Some glass suncatchers that easily hang up indoors and reflect sunlight to create magical little rainbows all over your room. You may even find yourself cuddled up under your favorite blanket watching the soothing rainbows bounce around.
Promising reviews: "I love these, and my cats do too! When I gently spin one hung in front of a window (with the right lighting), my cats chase the rainbows around the room." —Nancy O.
"This is one of those small things that just sparks joy whenever there's a sunny day. They are surprisingly heavy and sturdy. They're also packaged beautifully making them extremely giftable. I kept one and gave one to my mom who put it in her car. We're both very satisfied with the purchase and she must have mentioned how expensive they feel half a dozen times. One of those rare instances that a product that seems like a steal actually exceeds expectations." —Marissa C.
Get the three-pack from Amazon for $8.99.
23. A juicer designed to get 👏🏼 EVERY 👏🏼 LAST 👏🏼 DROP 👏🏼 from your lemons, limes, oranges, or whatever else you need to squeeze. It'll catch all the seeds so you don't have to go fishing at the end, and it collapses down flat so it won't take up a huge chunk of your drawer.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I don’t know why someone didn’t come up with this sooner. But to the person who did, you’re kind of my hero. This thing is amazing. Just cut the fruit in half, drop it in with the cut side facing toward you, and squeeze the handle. Gets so much more juice out than the old-style juicers. Super easy cleanup, too. I have some severe health issues, including bad arthritis in my hands, and this doesn’t hurt at all to use. 10/10 highly recommend!" —Kristen L.
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in three colors).
24. A cloud light that can sync to your music and has millions of color combinations to set the perfect mood.
Promising review: "My child has been asking for a cloudscape on her wall/ceiling for some time now, and after I saw this product in the reviews, I took a risk and bought two of them. I was shocked at how many accessories for hanging these up and securing the cords to the ceiling and wall came with the product. And the options for different types of hanging and adhesion were plentiful. I was able to hang the clouds up in probably a total of 10 minutes. After fluffing the clouds a bit and letting my daughter pick the exact right spot, we were so happy with the result! The brightness, color options, pattern options, etc were endless. My daughter enjoys having the app on her phone because it makes it fun to create the mood she is looking for, depending on the occasion (she also likes to mess with me by making them blink or change when she’s not in the room and I am in there picking up laundry or what have you). She also enjoys having the timer feature so that she can go to sleep with it on. Overall, I’m very impressed and highly recommend this product!" —JHay
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in multiple quantities).
25. A keloid minimizer because sometimes, no matter how well you take care of your new piercing, you just get hit with the keloid curse. This is designed to help reduce the size of the uncomfortable bump so you don't have to end up taking out your adorable new earring.
Note: This product is not an overnight miracle. Apply this 2–3 times a day, be patient, and you'll start to see the results.
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then, the second week, it started totally disappearing, so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" —Jordan Caprigno
Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (also available in multipacks).
26. A set of Crayola Globbles so you can finally throw something at the wall because that's its purpose, not because you are full of rage. Or, for those of you who are ~calmer~, these are also super fun to stretch and squeeze. Plus, they won't leave behind any nasty residue for you to deal with.
Promising reviews: "Super duper fun. Bought my adult self something silly-fun and have no regrets. Had my niece in mind to play with them as well. Works on any kind of ceiling (tried all types except popcorn ceiling). Easy to clean and after they dry on their own, they are even better than new!" —Sabrina S.
"Everyone played with these for hours. Throwing them at the ceiling and walls and each other. Trying to stick them together mid-air...? Didn’t think they were gonna be so much fun. When they get dirty, you wash them off. Ez Pz." —Z
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.25+ (also available in 16-pack).
27. A pair of round circle sunglasses reviewers rave about being a great alternative for those brands that cost hundreds of dollars (except these are under $20!). Fashionable + affordable? Sign me up!
Promising review: "For the money, you can’t beat 'em! These look amazing on my face, like a $300 pair of sunglasses. I have tried multiple pairs, and this brand looks and feels comparable to a pair of Ray-Bans or Pradas. I have a smaller face, and to me, this pair fits the best, perfect for my nose and brow line. I couldn’t be happier, just wish there were 6 stars so everyone would know how amazing they are. If you are questioning whether or not they will look as good on you as they do in the photos, yes...yes they do." —Christina
Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors).
28. A reversible octopus plush so people can know if it is safe or not to talk to you without having to ask (bc sometimes that is what throws your mood over the edge!!). And if you are feeling like a ~grumpy octopus~, maybe its adorable face will help turn things around.
There are sooo many different colors and expressions available (from rage to worry to love), so you'll definitely find at least one to express your emotions.
Promising review: "It sits on the top of my dash and reflects my mood. Nobody has tried to talk to me from the passenger side of their best friend's ride while it's been in angry mode. I want more. I shall have a school of them." —Lisa noel
Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 42 styles).
29. An Aveeno oatmeal bath treatment that will soothe and soften your skin like you've never experienced before. Sometimes, a long, hot bath is all you need to cheer up, and this will have you wanting to stay in the tub while you watch an entire series at once.
I have ~incredibly~ sensitive skin...like, chronic hives, breakout-from-almost-anything sensitive. On days when I am super itchy or red, I just plop a container of this into a tub, and it legit helps soothe my skin almost immediately. I am a die-hard Aveeno products girly, so it just makes sense that I would like this. The majority of the powder dissolves, but a small amount will ball up into little clumps, and I honestly love breaking up those clumps and layering them on extra itchy areas (plus they're just fun to smush). Cannot recommend it enough if you're someone who suffers with sensitive skin!!
Promising review: "Growing up poor, I never had the pleasure of an oatmeal bath. I never even heard of it! It sounded fancy (Kardashian-like). Just now, for the first time in my 33 years of life, I finally got to experience the ultimate soothing, relaxing pampering of an Aveeno oatmeal soak! Oooh I feel smooth, I feel refreshed, my skin younger and my attitude better...POISON IVY, you will be DEFEATED!! I definitely do recommend this and I am so glad I listened to my husband and bought it. Heck, I’m glad I even talked to him about it...I was honestly about to either use a scoop of whole oats from the chicken feed bag or go instant from the pantry to make a bath." —Jessica Conwell
Get eight packets from Amazon for $7.57.
30. A microwave rapid cake maker because there is nothing food can't fix, especially dessert. This thing will create a delicious cake in only SIX minutes. I mean, the only thing better than cake is cake you can eat almost instantly.
Rapid Brands is a California-based small business that specializes in dishwasher-safe, microwaveable, BPA-free kitchen products.
This gadget just requires half a box of cake mix plus the mix-in ingredients. And since it's only half the cake mix, you know what that means…you can do it all again tomorrow!
This is a great option for dorms and studio apartments and for safer, easier baking with kids.
Promising review: "I love this cake maker! It makes just the right size cake for our family of four. They’re not exactly like a cake fresh from the oven, but pretty darn close! My 12-year-old son loves to use it, so much so that we make a cake on a weekly basis. Since each cake only requires half a box of mix, we don’t have to store them for long. I think they taste much better than a mug cake and are almost as easy." —Clare
