I know you've seen The Pink Stuff and Hatch alarm clock before...
1. A manual flossing toothbrush with regular and longer, thinner bristles designed to reach under the gum line for a deep clean. It can help remove stubborn food particles, like lettuce, popcorn, and sesame seeds, so you don't have to pick them out with your fingers. Reviewers even ditched their electric toothbrush for this 'cause they loved it so much!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these:" I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Promising review: " I absolutely love this toothbrush!! TikTok made me buy it and I will never own anything else again. My teeth feel clean all day long, like I went to the dentist but better. I even have a sonic toothbrush, and this blows it out of the water. Don't hesitate…buy this for your teeth!" — Amy
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99.
2. A tub of The Pink Stuff — this internet-famous paste is your one-stop shop to clean anything, so *today* can be the day you address the grease, grime, rust, Sharpie marks, and crayon streaks on various surfaces around the house. It has *over 150,000* 5-star ratings for working wonders on so many surfaces...just sayin'.
Promising review:" THIS STUFF IS MAGIC. If you're questioning getting this to clean harder stains or anything, this is your review to read! I was a little skeptical because I've tried many things to clean my shower door with the hard-water stains and nothing really ever got it completely clean...this stuff did! I wish I had taken before pictures. It did take a couple of applications and some scrubbing, but honestly, I didn't have to scrub hard, I just used a wet cloth, and this and my shower door is now completely clean without any hard water stains! I'm obsessed. Now to see what else I can clean with it." — R. Ford
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (also available in a set with a sponge).
3. Clinique's Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey that effortlessly blends into your lips to accentuate their natural color. It may look super pigmented but it's designed to be buildable, meaning you can go darker or lighter! Plus, reviewers say it's not sticky, messy, or drying and that it's *almost* like ChapStick!
Amazon
Watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks — hello, Ms. two-in-one!!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord had this to say:"I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick.
Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in two shades).
4. A splurge-worthy Hatch Restore 2 — it's probably the most well-known alarm to mankind 'cause of its amazing features. And those include: a sound machine, wind-down light, and a sunrise-effect to wake you up, among much more (more on that below). Just imagine waking up to a warm, soothing orange light instead of that one Apple alarm that practically screams, "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD" — you know which one... Reviewers say they no longer dread waking up in the morning because of this!!
Hatch Restore lets you personalize a "bedtime routine" for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones that can help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app.
Promising review:"The Hatch Restore 2 is truly a game changer for those looking to improve their night's sleep and wake-up routine. It's been the best bedside companion and has improved my overall health and well-being. The combination of sounds, lights, buttons, and aesthetics really all come into play to make this feel like a truly premium device. There are touch adjustments to adjust the volume and brightness of the clock, which work really well. My favorite feature is the physical buttons which you can press to start or stop the routines; it feels very intentional when I get ready for bed and really gets me in the right mindset to begin my bedtime routine." — Natasha Advani
Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in five colors and two styles).
5. A ChomChom pet hair remover that's essentially a lint roller for pet hair, but guess what... there's nothing sticky about it (aka no wasteful sheets to toss)! Pet owners rave about this since it picks up all the hair attached to your couch, favorite blanket, *and* outfit of the day. And when you're done, just empty it right into the trash.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" — shelby cipolla
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors).
6. A stainless-steel tongue scraper because your teeth may not be the reason your breath stinks... it could be your tongue. 😳 This little gadget can help freshen your breath in SECONDS and turn the white, grey, or yellow tint on your tongue *back* to pink. You may notice your S.O. wincing less when you say, "Hhhhi, hhhhow are you?"
www.amazon.com
Dr. Tung's is a small biz that makes breath-improving dental products.
Promising review:"I have gone 30 years of my life having the worst breath known to man. I would brush and brush, and within 20 minutes, I'd be back to the same. I never knew how to get rid of it. Then, I came upon this little item on Amazon. I decided to give it a try because I figured I'd tried everything else. Wow, just, wow...I couldn't believe how much crap this thing was pulling off my tongue. Seriously, if you have suffered from bad breath, give this a try. You will not regret it." — Me
Get it from Amazon for $8.13 (also available in packs).
7. Elizavecca's collagen-coating hair treatment — aka a BELOVED product that'll help nourish your damaged hair from hot styling tools or over-processing from harsh treatments like bleach. The blend of collagen and ceramides will help your hair feel smoother, stronger, and shinier in a matter of five minutes.
According to reviewers, this mask works on fine hair, curly hair, and type 4 hair.
Promising review:"Can't say enough good things about this product! I was going to wait until I got paid to buy the Olaplex Professional 4-in-1 Moisture Mask (for $70+), but then, after seeing all the good reviews, I decided to try this, and I am so glad I did! I think this actually works even better, and for $8, you really can't go wrong. I have no idea what sorcery is going on in Korea, but they really know what they are doing. My hair is pretty damaged and my biggest issue is it getting tangled and breaking in the shower. Even after the first use, I noticed my hair being softer and smoother and the broken ends being less noticeable. I'd say that nothing else I've tried has made my hair look this good, and after using it for a week, the results are even more noticeable. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a good hair mask!" — Katie
Get it from Amazon for $7.64.
8. A bottle of Angry Orange citrus deodorizer because your carpet has some lingering smells, and you've gotten used to them — but you don't have to live with that. This can help your pet's accidents go from that harsh ammonia odor to a delightful citrus scent, thanks to the orange oil! Your home will smell so good, you'll wonder if someone stocked your kitchen with Sumo oranges.
Use a UV blacklight (as shown above) to find urine spots you didn't even know were there!
Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more.
Promising review:"I was skeptical at first. My cat peed on my couch, and I had tried everything else, but the smell was still there. I saw an ad for this and was completely surprised it worked so well! I sprayed my couch and wiped it down, and the smell is GONE! Worth every penny!" — Amy
Promising review: "I love my dogs, stink and all. But I get embarrassed when non-dog owners come over, and my house smells like pond. Y'all know what I'm talking about. I keep a clean house, but I can't afford the water to wash their beds every week. I decided to try Angry Orange, and let me tell you, it works. Just two sprays on each dog bed and the odor was gone. Also, four hours later after the orange smell had dissipated, still no doggie smell. 👍👍👍" — ocdmax
Get it from Amazon for $17.96 (available in two scents, multipacks, and a gallon size).
9. A doctor-recommended Squatty Potty if you're tired of spending so much time in the bathroom and running out of reading material. This stool props your feet up so you're in a more natural squatting position, which can help certain things (💩) leave your body much more easily.
Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review:"I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome). This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk." — P.W.
Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (also available in a teak wood version for $50.99).
10. A bottle of Bio-Oil Multiuse Skincare Oil that can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and acne scars and even skin tone and hyperpigmentation, thanks to its blend of oils and vitamins. Reviewers say that it's the best oil on the market because they see quick results, it absorbs quickly, and a little goes a long way (aka, you won't fly through the bottle).
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:" Holy grail product. This is an amazing product. I have sensitive skin, but this has not affected me negatively at all. This product is amazing. It took about three months for me to get wonderful results. There is a slight, somewhat medicinal smell, but I actually kind of like it. If you have scars of any kind, I would highly recommend giving this product a try. I have an old burn scar on my hand; no matter what I used, it never seemed to fade in the slightest. I've been using Bio-Oil on it for about three months now and it's made such a difference! It's basically completely gone! Such a better result than I was expecting! I was only hoping to fade it slightly." — sarah_baerah
Get it from Amazon for $11.12.
11. An antibacterial butt acne-clearing lotion if you look in the mirror to admire your ~junk in the trunk~ and sometimes see...pimples? This gentle, reparative, and moisturizing lotion contains plant extracts, salicylic acid, and tea tree oil that can help get rid of acne.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product is gentle on the skin, but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps like a rash or breakout can form in sensitive areas. Using this product once a day after showering...I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works. Doesn't smell the greatest, but it's tolerable, for sure. Great product." — Billie B
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
12. A Wet & Forget, a shower spray that'll eliminate the need to scrub — say what?! It helps rid your shower of soap scum, calcium buildup, and hardware stains, no matter how long they've been there. Just spray it, wait 12 hours, and rinse — reviewers say you'll see excellent results!
If your shower has a lot of soap scum and gunk built up, reviewers say it may take a couple of treatments until your shower *sparkles* again.
Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that, no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda, would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits, dirt, and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents, a refill size, and a two-pack).
13. Retainer Brite tablets you can dissolve in warm water to rid your nightguards, retainers, and mouthguards of discoloration, mild odors, and built-up plaque. If you don't remember your nightguard not being cloudy, then these tablets will help it get back to normal.
Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R.
Get 120 tablets (plus a bath case and strainer) from Amazon for $17.45.
14. A rotating handle snake cleaner tool if you're always shedding lots of hair as you shower...and now your drain is all backed up. The pointed tips are covered in "micro-hooks" so they can firmly grasp the log of hair that's causing you to stand in a foot of water as you wash your hair. Now, you won't have to hire a $$$ plumber to get the job done!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
This pack contains a reusable handle and five single-use heads that you just remove and dispose of after handling your clogged pipes.
Promising review:"Wow. Best thing ever. Seriously. I have had tweezers and sticks and plumbers and chemicals trying to get my master sink to drain. The plumber even said I needed an entirely new faucet to get the drain plug part because they don't sell those separately. Well, I have two sinks, a tub, and a shower that all match, so that was not a valid solution. Doubt I can find the same model. So I bought this thing, stuffed it down, and pulled up hair and black muck. Did it about eight times quickly, ran the water, and went right down the drain. Seriously. This is the best tool ever and the best $20 I have ever spent. Everyone with a sink needs this tool. Seriously." — juliejules
Get the full set from Amazon for $19.99.
15. A vegan ingrown hair oil when little red bumps pop up after shaving your sensitive areas in the shower. The jojoba, tea tree, and grapeseed oils can help prevent ingrown hairs, calm redness, and keep your skin smooth.
Bushbalm
Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small skincare brand creating products for our most sensitive areas.
Promising review:"I have literally tried everything to prevent razor burn for the past 10+ years, and nothing worked. I tried products, preshave routines, post-shave routines, every kind of razor // shaving cream combination you can think of, etc., and despite all my efforts, money, and time, I still always had razor burn. that all changed last week when I tried Bushbalm for the first time. I cannot believe how well this stuff works. I never write reviews, like this is literally the first one I've ever written, but seriously if you struggle with bikini line irritation after shaving, buy this stuff for real. I'm so happy I finally found something that works and hope this review helps someone else avoid an expensive and painful ten-year battle to find a solution to their razor burn problems!" — Katie
Get it from Amazon for $26.
16. An exfoliating scrub mitt that'll leave you shocked with how much dead skin comes off your body. Not only will you feel squeaky clean stepping out of the shower, but your skin will feel so soft and smooth, too. Reviewers say this also helps prevent ingrown hairs and reduces keratosis pilaris.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My skin is 100% softer and feels far smoother thanks to this product!!! The difference was noticeable after ONE use, its true. All the grime, rolled up skin, flakes and chucks — shudder, that was on me??? Everything other customers are saying about how disgusting it is when you see how much dead skin sloughs off is true. I disagree that it only comes off after the first use, though — I have continued to see improvement over the time I've used it, about six weeks, and even some age-related and sun damage discoloration is gone. These are the BEST, a MUST-HAVE, holy grail exfoliating mittens. I DEFINITELY recommend this! Did I say I recommend this 100%? I do!" — Kindle Customer. g'ma
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a set of two).
17. Or, a bottle of CeraVe's salicylic acid body wash if you have sensitive skin 'cause physical exfoliants can sometimes be a tad too harsh. This is packed with salicylic acid, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to exfoliate, help calm skin, and retain your skin's moisture. It'll feel nice and smooth *and* it doesn't disrupt your protective skin barrier. Plus, reviewers still say it helped with keratosis pilaris but also body acne.
You can read more about keratosis pilaris at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: " I use this product because I have keratosis pilaris all over my arms and back of my legs. This product helped quite a bit with the bumps being less noticeable. I even used it on my face where I have lots of texture. It ABSOLUTELY got rid of all of the bumps on my face!! I will most definitely continue using it." — Cyan
Promising review: "I've always dealt with acne on my back and sometimes on my chest. After I found this body wash my skin changed for GOOD!!! It's acne-free and very soft I don't need to use any other exfoliant. Note: In winter I used extra lotion after this body wash (CeraVe as well) because my skin tends to dry a lot." — Noe8890
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
18. Affresh dishwasher cleaning tablets because they clean what you can't reach easily (or at all), like your machine's tub, racks, pump and valve, and drain. If you've got funky odors coming out of your dishwasher, it's time to toss one of these in, run a cycle, and get that yucky smell to go away.
Promising review:"My brand new LG dishwasher has stopped draining on several occasions. I recently noticed that there was an egg-ish odor and I had no clue how to fix this without hiring someone to come out for a service call and drop a minimum of $100. I bought this product, used it once (put it on the very bottom of the dishwasher), and ran without dishes. Very happy to see that the water was gone and my machine smelled great. DEF worth buying because I think it unclogged pipes or something." — rebecca cohen
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.98.
19. A lightly tinted nail concealer designed to help the appearance of dull and discolored nails so you can leave that expensive manicure habit behind — and still have radiant-looking nails! This polish is sheer, buildable, and comes in five different neutral shades.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Londontown is a small biz making products that'll help keep your nails healthy and beautiful.
Promising reviews: "Highly impressed and satisfied with purchase. I've been a nail-biter my entire life. I recently stopped biting a little over three months ago, and while I've been pleased overall with the growth, I've found that my natural nails have many imperfections. For instance, I have splinter hemorrhages, as well as white horizontal lines (aka Beau's lines) on every single nail on all 10 fingers, and the tips are transparent. But this polish literally disguises all of that. I'm so so grateful to have found it." — Kourtnee amos
Get it from Amazon for $19.60+ (available in five shades).
Check out our Londontown Illuminating Nail Concealer review for more deets!
20. A dishwasher magnet you can slide to show whether the dishes are clean or dirty, 'cause the fork you thought was spotless actually has specks of last weekend's dinner on it... ew. Just attach this magnet to your dishwasher so someone doesn't accidentally fill your cabinets with "clean" dishes (that are most definitely NOT).
Promising review:"What took them so long?? Every household should have one of these. Does your partner point to the dishwasher and ask you, 'Hey, are these good?' Mine did, almost daily. Not anymore, though! A breeze to install (our dishwasher is magnetic, but I'm really glad it came with adhesive pads — someday when we move, if we need them we have them!), and even though I bought it (mostly) as a joke, I use the heck out of it. Slides easily when it needs to." — Andrea Braun
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six styles).
21. A reviewer-beloved beeswax wood polish and conditioner if your wooden floors, cabinets, and furniture have seen better days and need a little TLC. The beeswax and orange oil will not only condition and protect your wooden surfaces, but also get the color back to normal quickly!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I used this to condition an old chair that had been neglected in a shed for years. It was easy to rub into the wood with a cloth and absorbed quickly. It brought out the color and grain of the wood. The old chair looks nicely restored. I plan to use it on some other wood furniture. It definitely conditions the wood, so I gave it 5 stars." — KkRider
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
22. A mold and mildew stain remover to whiten the dirty caulk and grout in your sink, shower, and tile floors that's... well... seen better days. All you do is apply it, wait 6–8 hours, and (with *no* scrubbing required) you'll see a VERY visible difference. One reviewer who got it after reading one of our articles said, "It's unbelievable!"
www.amazon.com
The gel formula is safe to use on/around windows, sinks and baths, shower heads, pools, tiles, silicone sealant, and more. Leave it on the area you're looking to clean for six to eight hours (no scrubbing required). Some reviewers with really bad mold/mildew note that leaving it on for longer and/or doing a second round of cleaning made a huge difference!
Promising review: "I live in a rental home and was a little hesitant to use this at first, so I tested it in a small corner of my bathroom. The directions say to leave the gel on for 5 to 6 hours, but I only let it sit for 3 hours just to make sure nothing bad would happen. Wow! I was so impressed. I literally just applied a small amount of this gel to the corner and wiped it off with a wet sponge — the stain was gone! I didn't even have to scrub or anything. I was so amazed by the results that I then applied the gel to the inside of my shower and most of the tiles on the floor (and let the gel sit for the full 6 hours as directed this time). This stuff is legit. Buy it! You won't regret it!" — Sarah W
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
23. A pack of waterproof Compound W One Step Pads that apply just like bandages and stay on for up to 48 hours to help remove plantar warts. Keep reapplying the pads (that are infused with salicylic acid) until the stubborn growth is dried out and gone!
Promising review:"More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn't think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it's silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I'm telling you, I nearly cried. I've never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you've got stubborn plantar warts." — Liz Dube
Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29 (available in two styles and larger packs).
24. A Bissell Little Green upholstery cleaner capable of renewing your carpets, couches, fabric car seats, and MORE. This popular, portable, and convenient machine is beloved by reviewers 'cause it's powerful and great at removing stains caused by you, your pet, or your child.
www.amazon.com
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $9.49!
Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines, and this one seemed to have the best ratings. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good, and even my son was so impressed that he bought one. I highly recommend it, and I rate it 5 stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro
Get it from Amazon for $99.98.
25. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" Mattifying Powder Shampoo that'll make oily, flat hair more voluminous without any hint of greasiness. It's compact, easy to apply, and safe to carry onboard a flight since it's not in an aerosol can (unlike other dry shampoos). Just dab the cushiony end on your roots, shake out the product, and style — then you're done!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
The powder-based, benzene-free dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out the excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.
Promising review: "Soooooo I was very skeptical about the product because all the photos I saw were people with finer hair, so I wasn't too sure it was gonna work for me, a woman of color, but let me tell you, this works! I just got my hair done two days ago, and I made a mistake putting something in it, and it made it kind of greasy, so I said, "There has to be a solution for this." and I found this product. I just put it on, and the results were great. This is definitely going to save me whenever this happens — especially btw washes." — jacqueline
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in seven shades and various pack sizes).
26. An O-Cedar mop and bucket set, which makes mopping a lot easier thanks to its hand-free wringing system *and* triangle mop head that cleans corners (and rotates 360 degrees). This will have your floors all nice and shiny in no time. But don't just take my word for it; one *professional* cleaner said this mop is their absolute go-to!
www.amazon.com
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. With three boys and a dog that makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later, I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty." — Molly
Get it from Amazon for $34.96.
27. A FURemover rubber broom that'll pick up your pet's hair like a "magnet" that's on your carpet, tile, and wood floors. It's much faster and more efficient than standard brooms because trust me when I say the hair is *deeply* buried. It's just hiding!
Promising review: "I saw all of the stellar reviews from people and even saw this broom featured on multiple BuzzFeed lists. It was almost too good to be true but the price was right and completely reasonable to give it a try. My entire house is hardwood floors and I have some rugs. I have one dog and one cat, so I tend to have a lot of pet hair along the floor and rugs. I did one swipe, and immediately, a bunch of pet hair was swept up, and it didn't fly away like with my regular broom. This broom is a little miracle worker with pet hair and it even worked on the rugs to sweep up the fur that was stuck in the fibers. Definitely recommend!" — Nancy
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in eight configurations).
28. A hands-free Bluetooth remote so you don't have to lift a finger when controlling your TikTok, Netflix, Kindle, or Spotify playlist. It can easily slip onto your finger, so you won't lose it *and* (most importantly) you won't have to get out of your super comfy spot to hit pause on your show.
29. A set of double-sided shower curtain rings if you've just ignored the orange line and dark edges around your shower liner 'cause disassembling your rod is a pain and A HALF — understandable. With this, you'll be able to clean and reattach your curtain or liner easily, so accomplishing this dreaded chore has never been easier.
Amazon
Promising review:"The double hooks are genius. So much easier to remove for cleaning shower curtain now. Those clips on more common models never seem to work quite right. Simple but effective!" — John A Windus
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 19 finishes).
30. A set of bedsheet holders because nothing is more annoying than always waking up to a fitted bedsheet corner that won't stay tucked — especially if it's the corner pressed up against a wall!! Now when you go through all the work to change your sheets, they can stay in *perfect* condition!
www.amazon.com
Each pack comes with four bands that can stretch from 12–18 inches and hold adequate tension.
Promising review:"These bands are great! We have an adjustable bed and had bought sheets that are big enough but they pop off constantly — to the point where I had all but given up on keeping them on the bed. I looked up ways to fix the problem without having to buy new sheet sets in a bigger size and found these. They are super easy to use, so if they aren't working right, that's due to user error. These little guys are a time-saving genius idea that I wish I would have purchased years ago." — K
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors and four pack sizes).
31. A pack of ceiling fan carbon filters that can help catch the dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke lingering in your rooms by simply turning on your fan. Reviewers love these because they're invisible (they sit on top of your fan blades) and help their home smell better, especially pet households.

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
Promising review: "We have these on every ceiling fan in our house and have noticed such a difference since installing them!

32. A durable plastic clear toy blocker because despite your ~pawfect~ throw, toys always end up underneath furniture and other dusty, crumb-ridden areas when playing with your pet. You can install these to avoid that frustration and cut them to fit any space perfectly — plus, they can be removed without leaving behind any residue, washed, and stuck back in place without losing their stickiness or causing damage.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
It can also be used to help discourage smaller animals from hiding under furniture!
Promising review: " This product is GENIUS! My husband and I jokingly said how we wished there was something we could put under our couches to block toys from being lost under there, and with one good old Amazon search, of course, it exists! We used to spend literally a half hour each night trying to knock the toys back out from under the couch with a broom and now we never have to do that again. It was quick and easy to install, and now toys bounce right off of it and go back to the center of the living room, making for the easiest cleanup ever." — Truthful_Reviews
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in eight sizes).
33. A callus-removal gel that'll " melt off" tough, dead calluses to reveal softer, more supple skin, especially if you're a little extra hard on your feet or have ill-fitting shoes. Reviewers say they prefer the results from this *over* treatments they get at salons!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles and various pack sizes).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Don't forget the double AA batteries!
Promising review:"OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." — Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 37 styles/colors)

www.amazon.com
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 $12.86.
36. Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment for bouncier and shinier curls that actually last a long time.

37. Sol De Janeiro's Cheirosa '76 body and hair mist if you've already bought into the Cheirosa '62 hype (aka the delicious scent of their famous Bum Bum cream), but now you wanna try out one of their other heavenly fragrances. This one has top notes of blackcurrant, midnight jasmine, and freesia, which reviewers say smells like flowers — one person even said it smells like Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid perfume... 👀

Check out a TikTok of the body mist in action.
Promising review: "The description for this perfume mist is intoxicating and velvety — and it is all that and more. I'm a huge fan and consumer of all things Sol De Janeiro, so when this new scent came out, I couldn't wait to try it. The soft hints of jasmine and freesia intermingle with black currant so subtly that you get deliciously lost in all three, just like you get lost dancing to your favorite music. It's my new favorite Sol De Janeiro fragrance." — Penny Dittbrenner
Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in 10 scents).
38. The Owala Freesip, aka the water bottle to end all others, thanks to its built-in straw, wide-mouth spout for tip-back drinking, and genius lid you can lock to keep out grossness *and* prevent spills. This may just replace the monster jug with a handle (*cough* STANLEY *cough*).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
And like all insulated bottles, it's designed to keep cold things COLD for 24 hours. Aaaand it has a carry loop for easy toting!
Promising review: "This is THE water bottle you need! Stop looking for another water bottle!! This is everything you need! I've owned Camelback, Contigo, off-brand Hydroflask...and this is the GOAT!" — Austin Martin
Promising review: "I will tell you that we own every brand of metal tumbler they make: Hydroflask, Stanley, Lululemon, Yeti, and Owala. They all do their job and keep your drinks cold for the day. BUT I was shocked to see that my daughter's Owala that I filled on Friday was not only still cold but had ICE in it on Monday morning!! Owala for the win!!" — Loves to shop
Get the 32-ounce size for $34.99 (also available in 16, 24, and 40-ounce sizes, and in 18 colors).
39. And a super cute Owala "SmoothSip" travel tumbler designed to be completely leakproof and offer a ~smooth~ drinking experience 'cause we've all had coffee end up all over us from standard tumblers... and that's just a day ruiner, especially on Monday at 8 a.m. Now your hot *or* iced coffee, matcha, and herbal tea game can go up a notch.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought the 12-ounce, and let me tell you! This is by far the best travel mug I've EVER bought. Super leakproof (and I shove it into my tote bag and duffel bag). Super durable. Great material, and the sip? Super smooth. No slurping because it allows air to flow out and in while drinking. Such a great mug. Worth every damn penny. Highly recommend. P.S. — hot stuff stays super hot for a long time." — Lindsay Panataleon
Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in two sizes and seven colors)
40. Bubble Skincare Slam Dunk Face Moisturizer, a lightweight, nongreasy cream so your skin feels extra nourished. It's designed to be fun *and* functional since the pump dispenses your moisturizer in the shape of a flower, and reviewers say it gives a natural-looking glow. Talk about a win, win!
www.instagram.com, Amazon
Promising review:"This product is great for sensitive skin because I break out with everything but this. It is so light but extremely moisturizing. It has changed my makeup game as well!!

This $15 Sunscreen Applicator for Kids Saves Me Time Before Outdoor Adventures With My Toddler

CNET key takeways This affordable sunscreen applicator retails for $15 or less and is effective for sun protection on young children. It's mess-free, BPA-free and travel-friendly. Since it's kid-friendly, older kids can apply sunscreen on their own. If you have a toddler like mine, you know what a battle it can be to get them out the door. It's an even bigger challenge when I apply sunscreen to my son's face, arms and legs. It's the equivalent of wrestling an alligator, and as much as I'd love to skip this step altogether, as a wellness writer, I know it's essential to keep our skin protected from the sun. However, this process became easier when I discovered the SolarBuddies sunscreen applicator. For $15 or less on Amazon, this little tool has saved me when I'm trying to rush out the door with my son during peak summer hours. You unscrew the top and fill it with the sunscreen lotion you choose (it can hold up to 3.4 fluid ounces). Its roller ball and sponge make it easy and mess-free to apply sunscreen anywhere on the body. My experience with the Solar Buddies sunscreen applicator Since I started using this applicator, my toddler thinks he's getting pampered with a massage, so he lets me apply sunscreen without a fuss. I don't worry about potential spills if he touches the plastic applicator because it remains securely shut. I also liked this product enough that I got a second one solely for my adult sunscreen when I go out for a run or if we plan to be outdoors all day. CNET/Giselle Castro-Sloboda I also appreciate how the small applicator is travel-friendly and can be easily used by older, more self-sufficient kids. If you care about buying products made out of sustainable materials, the Solar Buddies sunscreen applicator is BPA-free and made of 94% recycled plastic. The one downside is that the sponge will need replacing over time, but you can purchase replacements online for $13, plus $6 delivery fee. The specs Amount of product it holds: 100ml or 3.4 fl oz Product size: 3.94 x 2.36 x 3.94 inches Features: BPA-free, made of 94% recycled plastic, efillable, travel-friendly Color options: 10 CNET's buying advice CNET/Giselle Castro-Sloboda The Solar Buddies sunscreen applicator is a must-have for parents who want an easier way to apply sunscreen to their children that they'll also enjoy. It's affordable at $14, so you can buy multiple dispensers at a time if you and your kids use different sunscreens. The normal retail price is about $15, but I have seen select colors go on sale for $12 on Amazon. When they're on sale, buy a couple at a time so you can keep one in your car, diaper bag or at home, so you always have one available in case of emergency.

12 Genius Products To Help Hot Sleepers Get Better Rest

As a longtime hot sleeper, I understand firsthand how difficult it is to get quality z's when it seems as though your body has a built-in sauna. Plus, in summer, sleep is bound to be even more sweaty and less comfortable. But by making a few changes to your sleeping setup, you can be on your way to a cooler snooze session in no time. Some of these tweaks include swapping out heavier sheets and comforters for more lightweight, breathable options and enlisting the help of a powerful tower fan to keep air circulating around your bedroom. You can find these hot sleeper solutions and more on our list below, which contains reviewer-approved items that may help you achieve a more comfortable (and cooler) night's sleep. A mattress with enhanced cooling technology A better night's sleep starts with a reliable mattress. The Serta iSeries Hybrid provides plenty of support in addition to being outfitted with a special cooling cover called MaxCold to help regulate your body temp whole you review: "After more time searching and reviewing mattresses than I thought I would do, we finally settled on this mattress. And weeks into use, I can say that we love this mattress. It's amazing what better sleep can do to one's quality of life. If this mattress is at the top of your list, get it here direct from Serta." —CA_JimGet it from Serta for $1,599.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king and four firmness levels). A cooling mattress topper reviewers say also helps with back pain Solve two problems in one with this cooling mattress topper that, according to reviews, both keeps hot sleepers cool through the night and "eliminated back pain" for one shopper. The topper comes in nine colors and sizes twin to California king. The embossed topper has a three-zone design to regulate temperature and provide support. The deep pocket stretches up to 21 review: "We purchased a new bed and really like the support and pretty much everything else. After a week of actually sleeping on it we realized how hot it was and kept waking us up during the night. I started looking at different toppers but was hesitant because of how much we had already spent on the mattress. On one of these nights, I sat up grabbed my phone and got on Amazon. I spent about 30 minutes reviewing comments and prices before purchasing this one. It has been 3 nights of awesome sleep! My husband and I both have said, it's a game changer. We still have the support of the memory foam but not the more waking up sweating, it's soft and the price point is perfect!" —Me llamoGet it from Amazon for $34.99+. A cooling blanket This double-sided blanket uses Japanese Arc-Chill technology to absorb body heat to keep sleepers cool throughout the night. It comes in several colors, including beige, blue, dark gray, green and pink and from sizes 51 inches by 67 inches to 90 inches by 108 inches. Promising review: "My girlfriend is a werewolf, and she radiates heat like a nuclear reactor. She sleeps with a very small cheap anime throw blanket, the central a/c at 60, and a fan full blast that could make a tornado change direction - and yet she is still hot. Then I got her this blanket and today I woke up with the fan at only half power and I could actually feel my face, she sleeps so soundly and comfortably and doesn't heat up as much. The silky side retains a pretty constant cool feeling throughout the night and just feels really great. Overall, If you're a hot sleeper, this is the one. Highly recommend." —Emil NovoaGet it from Amazon for $24.83+. A set of cooling eucalyptus sheets Sijo's hypoallergenic eucalyptus sheets are perfect for hot sleepers as they're ultra-soft and cooling. The set includes one fitted sheet, two pillowcases and the option to add a flat sheet. They come in 13 colors and in sizes twin to California review: "This is the only sheet/duvet set I've ever found that ACTUALLY cools you down. I usually sleep so hot, but with this set I wake up not sweaty for the first time ever." —Dylan them from Sijo for $95+. A set of bamboo pajamas This bamboo pajama set is moisture-wicking and breathable for a cool night's sleep. The set features a satin V neckline and satin hems on the boxer shorts, which have an elastic waistband for ultimate comfort. It comes in a huge range of colors, including gray, pink, purple, blue, black and red and in women's sizes S–4X. Promising review: "I can't say enough about these PJs! I've told a lot of ppl about them and I've purchased several different styles for myself! These pjs are super soft, cooling, and lightweight. I run hot in the night and these pjs have helped with the night sweats and uncomfortable stickiness." —Bonny BGet them from Amazon for $33.99+. A lightweight down alternative comforter Brooklinen offers its top-rated down comforter in a variety of weights, including a summer-friendly lightweight option. The lightweight choice features down cluster fill with a cotton sateen shell that is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. It comes in three sizes, from twin/twin XL to king/California review: "This comforter is like a cloud. Never have I ever been more excited to get into bed. I bought it because I run hot when I sleep and I have no regrets. I was worried that my 20 lb weighted blanket and 80 lb couch potato dog would depress the filling, but it survived the test and is still as wondrously fluffy as when I first unpacked it." —Andrea it from Brooklinen for $143.65+ (originally $169+). An oscillating fan to keep your room cool The Pelonis 40-inch oscillating tower fan saves me every summer and its narrow design makes it perfect for small spaces. It has three pre-set modes: natural, which mimics the less-predictable rhythm of an outdoor breeze; sleep, which starts off strong and slows down gradually as you drift off; and normal, which is, well, normal. It also has three intensity settings (low, middle, and high), along with an 'eco' energy-saving setting. It also comes with a battery-operated remote control (just remember to buy your own batteries, since they aren't included). Promising review: "Using this fan in my bedroom and it has been GREAT! Much quieter than old style floor fan and the ECO and sleep modes work very well. There's all types of bells and whistles on this fan, but so far each feature has been great. My sleep quality has definitely improved since the air circulation is more evenly distributed and I don't have to constantly adjust the fan. The fan is not loud; just a low enough hum. But, I've always liked the white noise of a fan. I'm also dealing with the occasional hot flashes, so this fan is plus. I absolutely won't be able to go back to a window or circle oscillation fan. I'm a tower fan convert." —ALAGet it from Amazon for $63.60+ (available in two colors). A set of reviewer-beloved cooling sheets under $60 in all sizes Many sheet sets under $60 are microfiber, but if you prefer the cooling effect of bamboo sheets, we found an affordable option in this Shilucheng sheet set, which is made with a rayon blend derived from bamboo. They come in a ton of colors and sizes full to California king. When picking your mattress size, you can also choose between a four- or six-piece set, which includes two extra pillowcases in addition to the standard two, a flat sheet and a fitted sheet. The rayon and polyester blend is heat- and moisture-absorbing to leave you cool and dry, and hot sleepers have raved about the sheets' cooling properties in the them from Amazon for $36.99+. A BedJet cooling and warming system It's rare to find a sleeping accessory that benefits both hot and cold sleepers, but this BedJet climate control system does just that. It uses funneled ventilation to automatically adjust the temperature in your bed for each hour of the night. You can still use your own sheets other bedding that you already have or use the BedJet sheets that are specifically designed to distribute more air from the funnel. You can also get on-demand cooling or heating thanks to the included remote review: "I get extremely hot when I sleep to the point of sweating and it's gotten to be almost a daily thing. For the last few years, I had been sleeping on top of my comforter with only a small blanket because I would get too hot sleeping under a comforter. When even that began to feel too hot during the summer, I got the bed jet to cool my bed and now I can comfortably sleep under a comforter and still remain cool. One of the best purchases I have ever made." —Janet ClarkGet it from Amazon for $552. A cooling memory foam pillow Tempur-Pedic's Tempur-Cloud Breeze dual cooling pillow has a gel layer on both sides to promote cool sleeping and is made of pressure-relieving materials that provide comfort for your neck, head and shoulders. It comes in a queen or king review: "LOVE this pillow! I get sooo hot at night and have had to always flip my pillows several times a night! This pillow keeps me cool ALL night! I'm mostly a stomach and side sleeper and it is soft enough to do that; but it also is firm enough when I'm on my back reading or watching TV! Highly recommend!!!" —Paul GandyGet it from Amazon for $92.99+. A tumbler to keep at your bedside If you often wake up in the middle of the night feeling parched, you may want to add an insulated tumbler to your nightstand. This stylish 40-ounce bottle comes with a straw lid to prevent spills and keeps your beverages cold all night. It comes in so many colors and patterns, ranging from florals to checkerboards to tie dye and so much review: "Just as pretty as the trending brand's style. I got the sea glass sage color and it is the perfect muted color. Keeps my iced drinks super cold all day (and all night—it's the perfect bedside table cup!). It fits in my car's cup holders too! It checks all my boxes and is a major win for the price!" —KelseyGet it from Amazon for $29.98+. A pair of blackout curtains Keep out the sun's heat while you sleep with these thermal insulated blackout curtains. They come in nine colors and 11 sizes up to 52 inches by 95 review: "We are having a heat wave, and these do a great job of blocking out the heat from the sun. They block out most of the light. I will probably buy more of these for other windows that I am using different coverings on. We are staying cool, and saving money on the electric bill!" —Amazon customerGet them from Amazon for $22.99+.

Introducing Skincare+ on Amazon: Shop derm-approved brands in one place

New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. I've been knee-deep in skincare for years now: testing beauty products, digging into ingredient lists like I'm studying for finals and talking with dermatologists any chance I get. It started as curiosity and turned into a full-on obsession. I've tried the buzzy stuff, the clinical stuff and everything in between. And after all that, I can confidently say: finding the right skincare routine takes work. So, when I stumbled across Amazon's new Skincare+ feature, I was honestly impressed. It actually makes things easier — and smarter — for anyone trying to figure out what works for their face. Let me break it down: Skincare+ is kind of like Amazon's skincare brainchild. It's part quiz, part personalized shop and part dermatologist-approved product lineup. You answer a few quick questions about your skin: the breakdown of your skin type, what you're dealing with (acne, dryness, sensitivity, whatever) and what you want from your routine. Then, Amazon gives you customized suggestions that aren't just based on what's trending, but what *actually* makes sense for your skin. Advertisement It's a small thing, but honestly? That quiz is gold. I've spent hours over the years scrolling through skincare Reddit, beauty blogs, YouTube videos and ingredient masterclasses trying to figure out what to use next. This takes, like, two minutes and doesn't feel like a gimmick. It points you toward products from brands that derms actually recommend (think: CeraVe, La Roche-Posay, Bioderma and more). Not influencer picks with sparkly packaging. Actual solid skincare. Here's a breakdown of what Skincare+ recommended for my combination, sensitive and fair skin — focusing on reducing pore size and upping hydration levels: I've tried most of these products and I can attest that these recommendations are certainly expert-driven, tested and effective for my skin concerns. I've raved about the medicube Pore Pads (seriously, it's a Korean beauty essential you need), and have used the CeraVe cleanser more times than I can count. Plus, you can't beat a good exfoliant in your routine, especially when brands Anua and The Ordinary are tossed into the mix. And let's talk about that Derma Store. This part of the Skincare+ setup is super curated, full of products that dermatologists actually back — not only the drugstore basics (though those are great), but also science-forward picks from brands like ISDIN, RoC and The Ordinary. You can tell it's built for people who want results without needing to decode a 15-step routine or get a degree in cosmetic chemistry. Some of the questions the Skincare+ quiz asked, straight from the Amazon app. Amazon Better yet, you'll also have access to Amazon One Medical healthcare professionals. Consider it your convenient FaceTime call with your derm. What I really appreciate as someone who's tried so many products is how much time this whole setup saves. I used to spend days comparing formulas and reading every single review like my life depended on it. With Skincare+, it feels like you've got your own mini skin consultant on standby, but without the pressure or the price tag of an in-person visit. One thing I've learned from dermatologists is that 'personalized' isn't just a buzzword; it actually matters. Your skin's needs change based on your environment, your age, even your stress levels. What's cool about this Amazon tool is that it doesn't just lump you into 'dry' or 'oily' skin categories. It asks real questions, gives targeted recommendations and helps you build a routine that actually makes sense. It's not trying to sell you ten serums you'll never use. Now, full transparency: I still double-check everything. I patch test. I read the fine print on ingredients. But nine times out of ten, the stuff Skincare+ recommends matches what I'd pick out after a full-on chat with a derm. And if you're someone who's just starting your skincare journey? This is an amazing launchpad. You won't waste your money or your face. There's also peace of mind in knowing the products are legit. Amazon's had a bit of a rep in the past for third-party sellers, but the Skincare+ and Derma Store setup directs you to official listings. So you're way less likely to accidentally buy some sketchy knockoff of your favorite SPF. For me, this whole Skincare+ thing is the kind of innovation I wish had existed when I was first starting out. It doesn't replace dermatologists or your own research, but it bridges the gap for people who want smarter skincare without the hassle. And even if you are a seasoned beauty nerd, it still saves time and helps you discover new stuff without the stress. At the end of the day, skincare should feel like self-care — not a second job. Skincare+ makes it feel a little easier, a little more personalized and a lot more doable. Whether you're dealing with breakouts, sensitivity, aging, or just overwhelmed by options, this tool gets it. And for me? That's the kind of beauty innovation that actually sticks.
