This Oreo-inspired "Cookies And Cream" seasoning is about to change your dessert and breakfast game forever.
1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste.
Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in two styles).
2. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances!
Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three styles).
3. The new Pink Stuff "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls. If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it " gold in a jar" and " witchcraft."
Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower, and although it doesn't look brand new like I was hoping, it's ten times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess
Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99.
4. A big ole collapsible wash bin with a *drain plug* installed at the bottom that is like having a sink inside your skin — perfect for anyone who wants to keep dirty dishes separate from the sink bottom, and absolutely beloved by parents who have a bunch of bottles to sanitize at once.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought this to wash baby bottles and pump supplies. Good build and does not feel cheap. I like that it is collapsible for storage and it has a drain on the bottom which makes it super convenient to drain after a soak.I can fit a lot in the tub for soaking." — Lacey D.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
5. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer, aka the answer to any money-conscious coffee lover's prayers — this version is not only cheaper and more portable than comparable models on the market, but WAY faster making cold brew without compromising on flavor. I'm talking five minutes as opposed to overnight, like other pitchers take — and it doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯
Amazon
You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water.
Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick
Get it from Amazon for $32.07.

7. Ninja's new *portable* Crispi Air Fryer system, perfect for people with high foodie standards and a chaotic schedule. This "all-in-one system" cooks your food in the same container you eat from, so you can pop your meal into the air fryer, cook it, and either pack it for later or eat it right out of the container.
Each air fryer comes with the"PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying!
Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in three colors).
8. An absorbent floral dish drying mat so lovely that you'll actually — gasp — look forward to doing the dishes? The "main character in a rom com" energy of this mat is too strong to resist.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This mat is perfect. It absorbs water from washed dishes well and provides a protective buffer between dishes and our granite countertops. After use, you can hang the mat; it will dry out in minutes. The mat is both decorative and functional. This was a great purchase. There will be no more wet dish towels to contend with. I highly recommend this product." — Cambodian Nurse
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in six styles and three sizes).
9. A Scrub Daddy sponge holder designed *specifically* to suction to the side of your sink and cradle your favorite smiley sponge, so it air dries faster, stays cleaner, and helps minimize clutter on your counters.
www.amazon.com
Storage Theory is a small business that specializes in unique storage solutions for every room in your home.

Psst — you can get a Scrub Daddy sponge here on Amazon! They are extremely beloved by TikTokers because they're mildew-resistant, dual-sided with different scrubbing textures, and designed with a smile that lets you more easily clean utensils.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
10. A "Bacon Bin" so all the grease left over from your bacon has a home (read: does not clog your unsuspecting sink). Then you can easily store it in the fridge to cook with later, whether you're frying up bacon-greased veggies, burgers, or even (be still my baconified heart) grilled cheeeeeese.
Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the bacon bin in action.
Talisman Designs is a small business that specializes in at-home cooking and entertaining products.
Promising review:"This thing is awesome. Big enough to hold plenty of grease without taking up a ton of space. I keep mine in the butter compartment of my fridge next to the butter. I poured the grease right from the pan, still very hot right into it, and popped the lid on and put it in the fridge. Next time I needed some grease, I scooped some out with a spoon, no muss no fuss. Much better than the glass jar I was using. My only warning is if you get it out when people are visiting keep an eye on it. It's so cute and so good at its job everyone will want one." — John Dollard
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
11. "Vampire Killer," a savory, oh-so-satisfying parmesan garlic spice blend you'll want to shake all over everything from grilled chicken to pasta to popcorn. (Sorry, Edward.)
Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $11.75 (available in four blends).
13. A "Slice'n Store" butter dish that will stop you from dirtying a bunch of butter knives and leaving them on the counter. All you do is pop this out of the fridge, slice of a lil' (or large) slab with the built-in blade, and be on your merry, buttery way.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Great addition to my kitchen essentials. Its durability is impressive, and it is straightforward to use. What makes it a keeper is how easy it is to clean. The quality is top-notch, and it's definitely worth the price. It stores butter well and fits perfectly in my fridge. Plus, the color adds a nice touch to my kitchen decor. Overall, it's a fantastic kitchen gadget." — Tiffany Mueller
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
14. A sleek, well-ventilated, modern-style bread box with a cutting board lid that reviewers are obsessed with not just because it's beautiful, but because it keeps their bread *carb's kiss* levels of fresh. If you love artisan loaves or make your own bread at home, this is worth the investment and then some!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE this bread box. It's not just gorgeous; it's well-made. Our homemade bread stays so fresh inside, it looks lovely on the counter, and the cutting board lid is very handy. This bread box is the best money I've spent on our home this year, and I highly recommend purchasing this for yourself if you bake, or as a gift for friends who love fresh bread." — Sondra G. Milgrim
Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in four styles).
15. An electric travel kettle for all the tea, coffee, and oatmeal monsters out there who want instant, portable access to their lifeblood. People love this for at-home use when they're not traveling, too — it boils SUPER fast for quick cuppas, and has a small profile that makes it easy to put away.
Promising review:"This gorgeous lil' portable kettle has been the best companion during all my travels this year! I drink a LOT of tea and am religious about making my special elixirs and healing potions every morning. I appreciate how quickly it heats up, and how long it keeps water hot. I have always followed the directions and use common sense when handling it, and have never had any issues with anything so far. Very satisfied with this purchase! Would highly recommend." — Sassy Mama

Promising review: "This gizmo grips securely so that twisting it does the job. The best jar opener tool I have tried and I have tried many. I have severe disabilities of my hands, wrists, arms, and shoulders from rheumatoid arthritis so opening stuff has really been a problem for me. This is a great device." — NYer
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
18. Teeccino, a sleep-deprived coffee lover's savior — this caffeine-free, acid-free strong herbal blend steeps like regular tea, but somehow mimics the taste of coffee so brilliantly that you'll get all the flavor and satisfaction without the insomnia of a late-night cuppa.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Teeccino is a small business that specializes in coffee-like herbal teas
I love tea in the morning but I always want something that tastes strong and bitter to go with my dessert at night, but decaf coffee felt too risky, since there's still a bit of caffeine in it. Enter Teeccino, which tastes miles better than decaf coffee, and is fully caffeine-free. It's so rich that it feels like it has notes of chocolate in it, and so satisfying that I had to check the label a zillion times just to make sure I hadn't misread it, and it secretly was coffee. Nope — just a very delicious faux coffee beverage that pairs well with every dessert in my pantry.
Get a 25-count of single-serve bags from Amazon for $14.98 (available in other sizes).

We had water all over the counter, mainly around the soap dispenser, and it was causing problems. This has helped a great deal. There is less water on the counter and I even like to put water on it sometimes just to watch it evaporate within about 60-90 seconds. It was totally worth the money." — David P.

Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times, it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself, but it will change your life." — Rachel

I would not use them for expensive Waterford crystal wineglasses, but they are perfect for everyday glasses. A must-have for wine drinkers!" — Alicia

Amazon
Promising review: "It works great and it's adorable. I bought this not as a gag gift, but because my mom has issues lifting heavy pans, especially when they're full. She liked the color, the subtle whale appearance, and its usefulness." — mystacheandie
Get it from Amazon for $7.19 (available in two colors, and as regular ladle that doesn't drain).
33. A Potato Express, because I think if we're all being honest with ourselves, the older we get, the more we crave a weeknight at home with Netflix in our eyes and a warm potato in our laps. This cooks up to *four* potatoes flawlessly in mere minutes so you don't have to wait to go to clown town with cheese and other fixings.
www.youtube.com
Promising review:"Makes baked potatoes so easy. Just wash them, poke them with a fork, and place in your microwave. A few minutes later, it's time to eat.

If You're A Quick Learner, Here Are 41 DIY Upgrades You Can Make To Your Kitchen

Some matte-steel cabinet pulls for a modern touch to those cabinets that were likely installed when you were in kindergarten. Even if you don't consider yourself a handy person, this is a super easy DIY. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit so you can finally get rid of the gunk that seemed like it would never come off of your stove. Some stove burner covers to help you catch the mess right away on gas stovetops. Or just cover up some chipped or sorry-looking stovetops. (I live in a rental with a white gas stovetop that def has some unsightly chips on it, so I can relate!) A magnetic stove shelf that's the perfect amount of room to keep your most-used spices so you don't have to go digging in your cabinet while the oil is literally poppin' on your stove top. Some wood polish and conditioner that'll revive worn-out wood surfaces like cabinets and floors. Those cabinets may have decades of wear and tear but they don't have to *look* it. A wood scratch cover to hide all those dings and scrapes on the original trim and doors that've been around longer than you, and have SEEN some things. A container of touch-up paint that'll help cover up all those chips and marks that seem to follow you around the room like one of those portraits where the eyes look straight forward. This is so so so much easier than doing a full paint job. A set of fridge organizers because you're spellbound by #FridgeTok videos and yearn for your own appliance to be as blissfully organized as those stars. And these'll prevent all kinds of spills! A set of under-cabinet lights to bring a modern touch to any outdated cabinets that you wish you could replace. This'll instantly make your kitchen look *so* expensive. A SnapPower GuideLight will optimize your regular old outlets instead of a night-light that you have to plug into an outlet that you always have to unplug the coffee grinder or do other tasks. Some cabinet and drawer liners can protect your kitchen essentials from unnecessary wear and tear — even if your kitchen cabinets seem to be older than your grandma. Reviewers especially like that the bottom of the liner is grippy instead of sticky to stay put without leaving behind a mess. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking stovetop. Scrape away and lift any leftover crud by the previous tenants or owners with the help of this jar. A drill brush cleaning kit that'll attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh that'll have you seeking out all the dirty surfaces you've been ignoring. This'll handle all the elbow grease. A incredibly powerful grout cleaner can erase years of nasty buildup that you've just come to live with over the years. Plus, a grout pen will fake some squeaky clean, stainless grout for stuff that's been there awhile. Or, like this reviewer did as seen in these pics, let you change the shade of your grout as you'd want! A slim cutlery organizer here to prove that, yes! You do have room for all your cutlery in your tiny kitchen drawer! Scoot over, forks. (Yeah yeah yeah, your drawers are *hidden* but they still make such a huge different in your kitchen!) Spice strips for transforming your regular old drawer into a ~custom~ spice drawer. Come on, doesn't it look quite nice?! A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray will help you win the good fight against greasy spills and messes. Your oven is about to get a makeover. A set of silicone-coated kitchen utensils that are nice-looking but neutral enough to blend in a bit with everything in your kitchen. A *vinyl* runner that looks like a vintage Persian beaut but'll easily wipe up because spills WILL happen. An expandable under-sink kit can fit around awkward pipes in the kitchen or bathroom while giving some sturdy ground to those bottles of cleaner and rolls of toilet paper. No more cabinet avalanches! A tea bag organizer — to hold 100 bags, so you can finally dedicate your tea shelf to other things. A set of measurement decals you can glance at rather than googling "how many teaspoons in a tablespoon" for the millionth time. (BTW, the answer is three.) A bottle of plant-based stainless steel cleaner and polish spray (that comes with a microfiber cloth) for a low-lift transformation. You lucked out with stainless steel-appliances in place — which so happen to be $$$. Their upkeep shouldn't be! A small compost bin/trash can will hang on a cabinet door for easy hiding and use. The lid lifts up *or* flips over for easily dumping as you food prep. In fact, I bought this for my tiny NYC apartment kitchen as a trash can and adore it. An accordion-like pots and pan organizer can easily adjust with your growing organizing needs. (Even that griddle pan you just had to buy.) Some mounted wine racks for a storage solution that'll make getting a post-work pour that much easier. Plus it'll be a super easy way to display any especially decorative glasses. A set of adjustable mug organizers that'll help you better use your kitchen cabinet space *and* also keep your mugs safer since they fit on top of a mug, creating a setup where you can safely stack a second mug on top instead of googling replacements. A charming fruit hammock you can screw onto the underside of your kitchen cabinets to clear up some counter space and put your farmers market haul on display. A cabinet door organizer to help corral your boxes of food wrap and cutting boards. A plastic bag dispenser that'll bring some order to your kitchen drawers. A pack of adhesive cord bundlers you can stick on the back of your kitchen appliances to keep power cords orderly instead of tripping up you (and your kitchen countertop setup). Fridge bin liners will absorb extra moisture in an effort to keep your produce fresher for longer. PLUS, they'll catch the brunt of messy spills and will be so much easier to clean than taking a drawer out of the fridge and awkwardly scrubbing it down in your sink. A slim, slide-out caddy that's skinny but tall enough to place in the weird little space between your fridge and kitchen cabinets. This is also perfect for the stuff you put in the fridge but you don't really need to stash in the fridge. Some peel-and-stick backsplash "tile" you can apply on a blank wall for a fraction of the price of *actual* tile installation. A pair of kitchen sink strainers to catch all those lil' chopped onion bits that always end up in your sink. An attractive storage rail you can hang up where you need out in the open because it looks *that* nice! A stackable can rack to help your pantry look like a grocery store of staples. A conversion kit that'll let you hang some statement pendant light or a gorgeous mini chandelier if you wrinkle your nose at minimalist recessed lighting. A window film that'll still let in SO much light while giving you a bit of privacy in your kitchen — especially if a neighbor's window looks RIGHT into yours. (Really, that's only cute in sitcoms.) A broom and mop organizer you can mount on a closet or pantry wall for a tidy "after" so you won't worry about an avalanche when you open that door. You know what I'm talking about.

Stop using disposable cable ties — just buy 120 of these reusable ones for $5 during Prime Day instead

Plastic cables ties are amazing for organizing your home, but absolutely terrible for the planet. Actually, single-use anything is pretty annoying, as you constantly need to replace things that have been designed to be thrown away. That's why I'm recommending that you don't pick up any more single-use plastic cable ties — because you can buy 120 reusable ones for just $5 at Amazon right now with the Prime Day deals already in action. These reusable hook and loop ties are great for cable organization at home. Wrap up long power leads, take control of your cable drawer and hide away unsightly cords in the garden or at Christmas. They're discounted right now for Prime Day, great value and better for the planet than regular single-use plastic ties. No, you're right, this discount isn't going to save a lot of money, but you get a lot of ties for less than the price of a coffee. During summer, wrap up charging cables for vacation packing, then use the same tie for Christmas lights a few months later! It's one of those things you don't really think about, until one day, a reusable tie is staring you in the face and you wonder how you ever managed to think plastic disposable ones were a good idea in the first place. For me, it was a few years ago when I got a new USB-C charging cable and it came pre-wrapped in a Velcro-like cable tie, like these. I would never have put a single-use cable tie on there, but the reusable one meant I could tidy it away with ease. This isn't a life-changing product or a seismic shift. But we can make small changes that gradually reduce our impact on the planet. Plastic cable ties often end up in landfill, where they can harm wildlife or shed microplastics into our waterways. These reusable ones (often called hook and loop zip ties) are designed to be used hundreds of times, and because its simple to open them up, and you can use them on all sorts of items from wrapping cables to creating makeshift hanging loops. In the end, it's a cable tie, much like every other cable tie, but you can use them over and over again. Better for you, better for the planet, and they're just $5 right now. Go be sustainable, my friends.
