Promising review: "This 'couch' is wonderful — exactly what we had been looking for. The covers are super soft and the color is gorgeous. We have built several different forts and tunnels so far and the kids love it! We had a tiny problem with one of the arches but customer service took care of it. I would definitely buy from this company again." —Chris & Charley
Get it from Amazon for $196.99 (available in seven colors).
2. A double-sided mounting tape for cat parents with a feline whose sole purpose in life is to knock down everything you dare put on a shelf. (This stuff is just as great if you have a *human* baby in the house!)

4. An onion holder for cleaning and seasoning your grill in the best way possible. This tool has a spike in the center of the spoon for making sure the onion half stays in place.

This small business specializes in a handful of metal grilling and smoking tools. The company is located in Rio Grande Valley.
Promising review: "Great, heavy duty quality. I’s better than I expected and a great tool. I bought two!" —Lupe
Get it from Sanchez Fabricators on Etsy for $49.99+ (available in two sizes).
5. A Shark Tank favorite toilet paper spray that'll transform standard toilet paper into septic-safe flushable wipes. This eco-friendly option is gonna be a great way to limit the disposable wipe/packaging waste in your home, while making sure your family stays feeling fresh.
Promising review: "As a long-time customer (and a proud owner of certain gastrointestinal issues) I can say that this toilet paper spray makes wet wipes obsolete. The scents are all great, though my personal favorites are the Rustic and the Coconut Amber. All it takes is 4–6 sprays onto the toilet paper to get the benefit of the product.
Their dedication to the environment is apparent, and I too am proud of the amount of plastic packaging and nondegradable wipes I've kept out of the sewer and plumbing systems. I kept all previous travel-sized bottles and simply purchase their refill bottles for reuse." —Riggatony
Get it from Amazon for $8.95+ (available in three sizes and six scents).
6. A computer shade, because as much as we may love working outside on a sunny day, our screens are basically impossible to see when daylight hits them. Use this clever laptop accessory and get your tan going strong *while* organizing Google docs to your heart's content.
Promising review: "This is worth the price!! I can actually see my screen while working outside now. It's awesome for outdoor WFH. I love it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in two sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "My husband got this shirt for Christmas and it is beyond the best gift you can get a new dad. He wears it everywhere he can. Everyone that sees him wearing it is in awe, even the college guy students at basketball games. It is a great quality shirt, with thick material that doesn’t shrink. Our daughter fits perfectly in it – we started using it when she was 8.5lbs and she is not yet over 10lbs and still fits perfectly. Right when we put her in it, she is completely calm and falls asleep every time!" —Jessica C.
Get it from Lalabu for $84.95 (available in sizes S–2XL and five colors).
8. An engraved label switch plate cover sure to look surprisingly snazzy compared to stick-on labels *and* help your guests (and let's be honest, yourself) know which identical switch is which. I don't even want to think about the number of times I've turned on my garbage disposal when I simply wanted to turn on a light.
This small business is owned by, you guessed it, Ted! It's located in Delray Beach, Florida. The shop has desk clocks, mounted mail boxes, switch plates, decorative vent covers, and more.
Promising review: "I ordered three custom covers in black. They are just as handsome as they appear on the website. I couldn't be more pleased with the superb quality!

Get it from Clark Summit Alpacas on Etsy for $34.95+ (available in two finishes, with or without refill packs).
10. An outdoor daybed with a retractable canopy that'll keep you nice and cool – and sunburn-free! This'll be a downright dreamy nap spot *and* it divides into a super useful seating area when you have folks over.
Promising review: "Took about two hours total with one person — everything was included (a couple of extra screws helped out). Assembly instructions were visual and easy to understand. Had to reverse the front canopy piece after assembly, but their video tells you how to determine if it's backwards. Once I had it assembled, my wife promptly took a two-hour nap on it and said it was great — worth every penny. Make sure you purchase a weather cover for it, and it'll give you long-lasting satisfaction!" —Joseph Vivona
Get it from Amazon for $549.99+ (available in two colors).

Check out a TikTok of the touchless paper towel dispenser in action.
Bonus: if you don't grab the paper towel, it sucks it back up for safekeeping!
Promising review: "Do we need it? No. But it might be my favorite unnecessary gadget purchase of all time. It leaves our counter tops uncluttered, the no touch sensor lets me grab a paper towel with dirty hands, and I feel like we use less paper towels overall. It’s easy to install, easy to program, and easy to replace the roll." —Mlc
Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in three colors).
12. A convertible cooler that'll transform into a steady table when you're enjoying the blazing sun at the beach. Keep yourself hydrated and give your beach read the perfect perch with this life-hack-like product!
Check out a TikTok of the hybrid table and cooler in action.
Promising review: "Good quality and lightweight. Design makes it very easy to carry, and I find it easier than the average cooler. The handle is nice and high and wide so the rest of it is not bumping up against your leg. And once you lift up the lid which turns into a table it's sturdy enough to actually use for setting drinks on without worry. Exceeded expectations." —April Ford
Get it from Amazon for $75.99.
13. A Porter Seal-Tight glass container for folks who think every aspect of life should be aesthetic. These glass containers are microwave and dishwasher safe, plus the darling design is a great way for making sure your coworkers know not to touch *your* lunch when digging through the break room refrigerator. Their paper bags have got nothing on these.
These are also microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "I saw these containers for the first time on one of those aesthetically pleasing TikToks. I thought to myself, 'I need these to be my best organized self.; When I came to Amazon and saw how much they were, I was appalled. Because, quite frankly, why would I spend that much on ONE little container? I was so curious as to why it was so expensive, I went ahead and bought one to see what all of the fuss was about. When I got the package, and took that sleek heavy duty bad boy out, I knew immediately why it was on the higher side. It’s sleek, durable, adorable, and excellent quality. It’s microwave safe, which is nice. It’s also dishwasher safe, which is even nicer. I realized that I do, in fact, need these in my life. I plan on purchasing more of them and I definitely recommend giving them a try!" —Ally
Get them from Amazon for $25+ each (available in two sizes and five colors).
14. An indoor/outdoor ceiling fan to turn your porch into a breezy oasis when you expect to enjoy a summer breeze outside but realize you've gotta create one on your own.
This fan is hardwired directly to a wall switch.
Promising review: "This fan went way above and beyond my expectations. I bought two of these for our back patio. Disclaimer: we did not install them but the electrician had them and the wall remote installed in less than thirty minutes. The air temperature is ten degrees less than outside the patio with these fans. I barely hear them running. They are a gorgeous matte black and I love the style." —Jenni
Get it from Amazon for $175.34+ (available in five colors).
15. A "Door-Doc" so you can prop open front load washers and prevent mold and mildew without taking the time to actually switch the laundry...yet.
Check out a TikTok of the Door-Doc in action.
Door-Doc is a small business specializing in home laundry solutions.
Promising review: "I’d never had any issues with mold or any nastiness accruing inside my washer, until I did. I read a bunch of reviews and convinced myself I didn’t need such an item — after all, I could just prop the door open after every wash. The thing is, the way the washer is positioned in the laundry room, I’d hit the washer door every time I went in there. I gave in and made the purchase. Sooooo worth it! Easy to maneuver around and it’s a sturdy little gadget. Highly recommend!!!" —painter Jane
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in two colors).
16. A rolling egg dispenser sure to become the practical purchase you didn't know you needed. This saves a surprising amount of space in your fridge *and* makes snatching an egg a cinch thanks to, weirdly enough, gravity.
Check out a TikTok of the egg storage roller in action.
YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large size eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." —Karingan
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two styles).
17. A clip-on polarized sun visor is gonna be loved by commuters who knew there had to be a better solution than squinting into the sunset on their way home from work every day. Clip the extender onto your existing sun visor and you're gonna get polarized glare-reduction all the live-long day.
Glare Guard is a small business based in Easton, Pennsylvania creating polarized visors for glare-free driving.
Promising review: "This extender is great; I wish I had purchased this years ago. My daily commute to work is due east and the sun is directly in my line of sight. My commute home is just the opposite, due west and the sun is blinding. This extender is not only a great buy, but it also increases the safety of daily driving." —Dyann Curtis
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
18. A KitchenAid shaved ice attachment (you read that right!!) for giving your KitchenAid a new job when it's way too hot to be baking. I am about 13 seconds away from buying this for myself. Snow cone season is officially in full swing!

Promising review: "Beautiful, hand-crafted, custom-fit to my railing. Creator is great to deal with on a custom piece. Everyone compliments it. I eat or have drinks on it every day and prefer it to eating at my dining room table! The second tier is ideal serving dishes, glasses, bottles, and the main tier is ideal for main dishes, computers, and notebooks while optimizing my patio functionality and keeping me at my serene view throughout my day. Great custom piece!" —Travis Horn
Get it from Best Balcony Bars on Etsy for $205.95+ (available in two sizes and four stains).
20. The Car Seat Key for parents and guardians who have had one too many manicures ruined by car seat clips. This makes buckling and unbuckling your little one *super* easy and it even hooks onto your keychain so you've always got it with you when getting in the car.
Promising review: "After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I’d have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! LOL, if you’ve been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It’s worth it!" —Tora318
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors and multipacks).

Promising review: "I got these to make ice cubes that I could fit into hot water bottles to make 'cold water bottles.' I'm in the big heat wave and it's been over 100 every day for the last week, with no sign of it letting up any time soon. These are quick and easy and the cold water bottles have been the only thing helping me sleep in a room anywhere between 80–90 degrees at night. I love the lids! It makes my ice trays easy to stack and more secure. I wish all ice trays came with lids like this!" —AJ Stark
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99+ (available with or without covers).
22. And a two-sided travel cup to encourage us coffee drinkers to *also* keep something hydrating nearby. If there isn't water literally beside the coffee in my cup...then I'm not drinking it.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!" —Megan Huffman
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
23. A sand-removal bag filled with talc-free, reef-safe powder that'll absorb the moisture in wet sand (which is why it clings so well to our skin) and make it a cinch to brush off. Get this so you can stop tracking all those beach sprinkles into your car.
Shakalo is a small business based in San Diego.
Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1–2 times a week. And I even use it on my dogs paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of too. I will definitely be buying the refill & another baggie to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
24. A drink cover scrunchie (from Shark Tank!) to add a safety measure at a bar or club, discouraging someone from spiking your drink. Wear it like a scrunchie in your hair or on your wrist, then just slide out the cover and place it over the top of your glass. It even has a straw hole built in!
It's main use is as a vital safety measure, but this can also be used to keep drinks from spilling while you're at a crowded venue *and* it's a great way to keep bugs out of your drinks when outside.
Promising review: "I would give these 1000000 stars if I could. They’re a bit difficult to put on with one hand but that’s my only complaint. These are genius and gave us so much peace of mind. Would recommend to literally everyone." —Alex K.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four colors and a beer bottle version).

DodBuddy is a small business specializing in pet care products including bowls, mats, and scoopers.
Promising review: "I normally don’t leave reviews but this is amazing! It’s easy to use and saves so many dog bags if you’re taking multiples dogs on a walk because you don’t need to open a new bag for each poop. It also makes the whole process a lot less gross. I would 100% recommend this for dog walks and even picking up poop in the backyard. It holds a lot more than you’d think!" —Joslyn Cavitt
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
26. A plastic bag dispenser for organized souls who are proud of their excessively type-A personality, because who wouldn't want to keep their lunch and snack bags in their own size-appropriate slot?! Snag one of these and eliminate packaging clutter in your drawers.

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
Promising review: "I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three-, four-, or five-slot models).
27. A padded 3-in-1 reclining beach chair made with five adjustable positions and three footrest options, a cup holder, a zippered side pocket, and a "face cavity" so you can lay flat on your stomach and read *or* have your boo cover you in sunscreen with a nice lil' massage.
This is under ten pounds and has backpack carrying straps.
Promising review: "Oh, I actually saw this on TikTok and went directly to Amazon to check it out. The price is a little high but I still think it’s a really great beach chair. I purchased this for my sister-in-law who absolutely loves the beach. She loves loves loves it! Arrived as stated, and in great condition." —Dianah
Get it from Amazon for $124.04+ (available in seven styles).

Bambot is a small business specializing in kitchen products for home and restaurant use.
Promising review: "I have been using this chilling bowl for fruit and other types of salads to keep food cold while serving in warm weather. It has worked perfectly following the instructions for use. It is very durable, does not collect fingerprints, get sticky or lose its chill for hours. Cleaning this bowl is easy and it doesn't scratch, or collect smells.) My neighbor uses a similar bowl she paid $75 for at a retail store, this one looks and performs as good as hers. So I like it very much and recommend it." —R Geller

30. A rotating cube timer that'll remind you to stay focused on the task at hand no matter *how* many distractions Hulu sends your way.
Check out a TikTok of the rotating timer in action.
Promising review: "I picked up this little timer on a whim after reading about the Pomodoro technique for the 100th time, and vowing that this time will be the time that I actually follow through instead of lapsing back into flitting from thing to thing, starting tons of projects, and never getting any done. I don't know what it is about the timer, but having it beside me has worked like a talisman. As long as it's in view I find it very easy to stay focused and stay on track. It's like a mini personal life coach that just stands there and taps her toes while you work." —chandra orr
Get it from Amazon for $18.90 (available in four colors).
31. And finally, a shockingly slim ink-free Bluetooth printer you can connect to your computer, phone, or tablet and quickly print black and white images on thermal paper. This is an excellent tool to have on hand when you don't need a whole printer, but find yourself forced to print something juuust often enough.
Check out a TikTok of the portable ink-free Bluetooth printer in action.
This requires thermal paper to operate.
Promising review: "This specific printer is lightweight but very sturdy. The app is super easy to use; it's got a media library that has layouts and other clipart styles. The printer is also relatively quiet and I have not had any issues with loading the paper straight, you just have to be dedicated to inserting the paper. Do not be super gentle with the paper or it will print on the paper crooked. Customer support is awesome and the quality if nice and worth the price, in my opinion. The paper, as stated in other reviews, is costly however I think not paying for ink evens it out." —Kapizanami
