1. A stainless-steel butter spreader designed to gently curl butter onto your bread so you'll never have to struggle to evenly spread cold hunks of butter on toast again.
Promising review: "My brother and his wife received a knife like this as a wedding present, and I had to try it for myself. I only buy real butter, and I keep in the fridge, so this is so helpful to get the right amount of butter to spread on toast. It really is a neat little find!" —K. Carbo
Get it from Amazon for $10.49 (also available in a two and four-pack).
2. A super fluffy bean bag chair – it easily converts into a surprisingly comfy full-size bed! It's the perfect solution for sleepovers, so you can leave the hassle of busting out the air mattress in the past where it belongs. Plus you can put it in the washer and dryer for easy cleaning!
Heads up that it might not seem all that soft and fluffy straight out of the packaging, but reviewers note that if you follow the directions and allow it time to fluff up, it will expand and become super comfy!
Promising review: "I have three boys. They seem to destroy air mattresses and bean bags. This is made from a foam that actually does better being beaten up. The more they jump on it, the better it forms. It’s great as a chair for reading. And great as a mattress for sleepovers. We’ve even had adults sleep on it and they were completely comfortable." —BW
Get it from Amazon for $275.36+ (available in three sizes and seven colors).
3. A brilliant Kitchen Cube all-in-one measuring cup with over 19 measurements to make portioning out wet and dry ingredients a lot faster and easier. Instead of digging through drawers looking for the right spoon or cup and trying to do math to figure out conversions, you can rely on this thing! Plus, it has both US and metric measurements just to make your life even simpler.
It's made of BPA-free food grade material, has both US and metric measurements, and is dishwasher- and microwave-safe!
Kitchen Cube was founded in Minneapolis by a group of entrepreneurs who were tired of having a bunch of measuring tools cluttering up and getting lost in their drawers!
Promising review: "First of all I gotta say, I don’t cook much, and if there’s something I hate after cooking it's having to wash a bunch of utensils once I use them. This cube has been amazing; I don’t have to wash a million utensils over and over, it’s very easy to use, easy to clean, and it’s very handy to use when I’m meal prepping for the week. I bought this out of curiosity and ended up enjoying it a lot. If a regular guy like me is enjoying it, I’m sure it would be a great tool for people who cook or bake on a regular basis." —Daniel Matajira
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
4. A magnetic eyeglass holder so you can stop worrying about your glasses falling out of your shirt pocket *and* put an end to having to call in a search party every time you forget where you left them. These'll hold them much more securely and keep 'em nearby at all times!
Readerest is a US-based small business specializing in glasses accessories.
Promising review: "I can't tell you how many reading glasses I've killed in the past few years, largely from jettisoning them from my breast pocket or hooking them awkwardly in my shirt collar. These clips are amazing. They're discreet enough that I don't look like a goon wearing one on my shirt all day, and when I hang my glasses from them, I can tie my shoes without spilling them lens-first on the ground. What else can a fellow ask for?" —Asha Ember
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four color combos/styles).
5. An oil mister because no one feels like ending up with greasy hands every time they dress a salad or do a little cooking.
Promising review: "This is a great item for lightly spraying salads, roasting vegetables, or adding some oil to a prepared plate of pasta. Avoids using more oil than necessary so that’s a savings right there. I also use it to put a light coating of oil on all my cast-iron cookware to prevent rust. Best of all, it looks great on the dinner table. Lots of uses which really makes it an asset in the kitchen. It seems that it should last a while so I think it is worth the few bucks spent." —Clancy
Get it from Amazon for $11.39.
6. Some haircutting clips that'll help make DIY haircuts look like they were done by a pro! You'll have a much easier time getting salon-worthy results at home *and* you'll save money in the long run!
It comes with two clips — the large white clip is great for lengths and layers, while the smaller blue one is for bangs.
Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I can't wait to tell people what I use on my hair. I hate going to salons. I think I'm one of the few people that has never left a salon feeling like I look better than before I arrived. It doesn't matter how much I've spent on the visit either. This product has been a lifesaver. I just look up YouTube videos and follow the instructions. I just gave myself a layered A-line bob, and it's one of the best cuts I've ever had. It seems like this product would be too good to be true, but if you're patient, it's super easy to use." —Michelle H
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $34.99.
7. Some gift wrap cutters to take the struggle out of achieving perfectly straight lines. Just slide it over one end of the roll, pull the paper through the opening, and gently push it along as its sharp blade makes a precise cut much faster and easier than with scissors. You can even leave it on the roll to keep things neat and tidy for storage!
Little Elf is a US-based small business that specializes in gift wrapping accessories.
Promising review: "This item is super easy to use and cuts well every time. I've used it five times already and it works perfectly. It's such a great time saver, and I've even come back to buy more for other friends as a cute little gift. This little helper makes me actually enjoy wrapping presents!! Everyone should have one of these!" —Cathy Bitner
Get a pack of two on Amazon for $13.99.
8. Clip-on bag stands so you can say goodbye to struggling to hold freezer storage bags open with one hand and attempting to pour leftovers in with the other without making a big mess. That song and dance ends NOW.
They're *also* great for air drying bags you've washed out to reuse.
Promising review: "I used three of these to help me make freezer meals for after I have a baby. I can honestly say I don't know how I would have filled the freezer bags without these ingenious baggy holders. I was able to dump veggies, spices, meat, and cans of heavy beans and tomatoes into the bags, and they stood up the entire time without sliding or spilling. One of the bags I stuffed literally to the brim, as full as it could go, and the bag did not fall down. I would definitely recommend these." —Tom S.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in larger packs).
9. The Safety Nailer to make you feel a lil' less nervous about accidentally slamming your fingers when doing some hammering.
Safety Nailer is a small biz founded by a veteran that specializes in tools that protect your hands.
Promising review: "I have nerve pain in my hands, and the Safety Nailer removes any chance of me banging my fingers with a hammer. What a relief!! It’s great for those of us who are not as dexterous as we once were. One of the best construction gadgets I’ve ever purchased." —w4shep
Get them from Amazon: the regular size or mini size for $9.99, or a combo pack with both for $17.98.
10. A candle lamp warmer so you can enjoy the pleasant scent from your favorite candle without having to worry about a potentially hazardous open flame! The brightness and heat are adjustable *and* it'll make your pricey candles last way longer than if you were to burn them.
Check out a TikTok recommending the candle lamp warmer.
Promising review: "OBSESSED!! Such an amazing purchase. I have so many candles where the wicks burn out, but not all the wax is gone — and this saved the day! I can leave it on all day, and have the best smell in my house. The candles seem to last way longer, too. One of my favorite home purchases EVER." —Madeline
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two shapes and six styles/colors).
11. Some super strong magnetic strips to help you squeeze some brews into your fridge that's already stuffed to the gills.
Promising review: "Of all the things I have bought that I didn't need, this is one of my favorites. Beer is hard to get out of the cardboard carrier in the top of my fridge. While just taking them out and sitting them on the shelf would have solved this problem as well, this solution is more fun. They float and technically it does make a tiny bit of extra space under the beer for small thinks like cheese or something." —AbbyValentine
Get two magnet strips (holds a six pack) from Amazon for $29.99.
12. A super cool hand soap that dispenses a foamy, yuzu-scented dollop of soap in the shape of a flower on your hand just to make you smile every time you wash up.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and did an impulse buy, and I love it. You do have to give it a few pumps at the beginning of the first use to get the soap up. But it does make a cute little flower on your hand. Super cute, and I love the fact that you can get refills so it's not a one-use kind of deal." —Christina Hansen
BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord says:
"I've *also* been using this soap, and not only is it super hydrating for my hands (LOL @ constantly hand washing now and forever!), the yuzu scent is just calming and lovely, and I'm obsessed with how light and frothy the foaming suds are from the soap. The best part is that the bottle is totally reusable; you buy the dispenser once, and then you can get refills of the foaming soap for $14.24 from then on out." Read more of her yuzu-scented hand soap review (it's #32).
Get it from Amazon for $18 (also available in a paw print style).
13. A shower curtain with pockets so you can stop knocking over piles of half-empty shampoo bottles every time you step in and out of the tub.
Promising review: "We are apartment living, so storage is always an issue, and the bathroom is no exception. No one in the household could take a shower without crash/boom as you're knocking something down sitting on a shelf or the bathtub rim. This is a game-changer. There are so many pockets with so much room in each, I actually have space leftover. My husband's back scrubber, my shampoo and hair care, and my daughter's bubble baths and bath floofies all fit with room to spare. And the pockets are all a nice height so I'm not crouching to find anything. The curtain is clear so I didn't have to change the 'pretty' one for decorative purposes, and it doesn't affect light that way either. Either way, I am super pleased, and I am keeping this link handy in case another one is EVER needed." —goodnite.graci
Get it from Amazon for $20.14.
Former BuzzFeeder Emmy Favilla has this shower curtain and loves it! Check out her full review (#2) to learn more.
14. A rechargeable personal blender great for busy people or anyone with limited storage space. Just dump in your favorite ingredients, press the blend button, and enjoy. You can even take it on the go and use it as a travel mug!
This blender comes with an ice cube tray and a funnel, plus you can remove the base to turn the blender itself into a drinking cup.
Promising review: "As a very busy college student, I find it's hard to eat healthy. Between my limited dining hall options and my busy schedule, I needed a way to both eat my veggies and get to class on time. ENTER: this amazing blender bottle. BEST purchase my limited paycheck was ever used on. Fill 'er up with wilted salad bar spinach, crappy orange juice, a grainy apple, some ice, and BOOM...a shake is born. No need to head back to my dorm to plug it into a wall-socket base like most blenders. To my amazed friends, I am now the wizard of smoothies. They all want one now!" —Adrianna Simmons
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in six colors).
15. A tall table cooler combo in case you need both a high top *and* somewhere to keep your bevvies chilled.
Promising review: "I have received a lot of compliments regarding this little cooler/table and for the price, I'm very happy with the purchase. We were looking for a smaller table to complement our larger patio set. After our last party, I think I may have made a couple of sales for the Keter brand. The cooler kept drinks cold for quite a while especially considering we didn't put much ice in it. The standing feature is nice too. Just lock the table in the open position and you can use it for a tall drink stand which works well. If you're looking for a little table for a patio set OR for a little patio cooler this product can take care of both needs." —Phenom13
Get it from Amazon for $80.96+ (available in two colors).
16. A Spatty Daddy set because now you can easily get to every last bit of food, lotion, makeup, or anything else that tends to get stuck in the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies of a bottle. After all, you paid for those remnants! Why let them go to waste?
These are FDA- and USDA-approved, and BPA-free. Plus, they're made of sturdy, resilient, and flexible material, and you can even put them in the dishwasher! Wanna learn more? Check out one former BuzzFeeder's full review of the Spatty Daddy!
Promising review: "So worth it! I'm so happy with it. You will definitely save money using this. I think about how much I could have saved if this was invented 30 years ago. I mostly use it for small makeup jars. I tested out the Spatty Daddy on an 18-ounce lotion and it worked fine. You get so much more makeup than you would without it. I give it five stars." —Liz
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99.
17. A tiny outlet shelf perfect for storing an electric toothbrush, your glasses, or any other odds and ends that need a better resting place than sitting precariously on your already cluttered counter.
FYI, it installs like a regular outlet cover. Of course except with the wonderful shelf. Can also be installed so the shelf is below the outlet.
Promising review: "I was very skeptical about this one, I had it in my cart for a while and just couldn’t get myself to order it. Once I did and I received it, I was so happy I did. I will be ordering more now. It adds an extra storing space. My laundry room is very limited so any added storing is key! I use it for my dryer sheets. I’ll be ordering another to store a small trash bin for lint from the dryer. I’m thinking about also adding these around the house for other things. So easy to install, takes literally less than two minutes." —Hazel Vera
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors and packs of two and four). And check out a larger outlet shelf.
18. A set of foodie dice if the hardest part of making dinner is... deciding what to eat. Now you can simply roll the dice and let the universe come up with a combination of ingredients and cooking methods so you don't have to.
Two Tumbleweeds is an Arizona-based, sister owned Etsy shop established in 2014 that specializes in products for foodies and people who like to cook.
Each set includes five main dice (protein, cooking method, grain/carb, herb, bonus ingredient) and four seasonal veggie dice. All you gotta do is roll 'em up and send them scattering and they will decide what kind of meal you should try to prep. Bonus — these are all naturally gluten-free, if you or a foodie you love has any dietary restrictions!
Promising review: "Such a fun gift! My husband loved the idea and we already successfully made a dish!" —Kasia
Get it from Two Tumbleweeds on Etsy for $20.40 (originally $24).
19. Some scratch-free, odor-resistant Scrub Daddy sponges – they just wanna smile and make your life easier. They're firm in cold water for tough scrubbing, soft in warm water for light cleaning — and that charming smiley face isn't just for looks! The eyes make this sponge easier to grip so you can reach tight corners or deep into cups, and the mouth is ideal for cleaning both sides of utensils :)
Promising review: "I LOVE them! They remove food off of dishes more easily than a sponge, and I just throw them in the top rack of the dishwasher and they come out spotless! They never smell and always rinse out nicely in between washings. These little gems even take off hard water build up from my shower doors! (I also use regular cleaners with them to do the trick.) I love these so much, I bought a bunch and used them as stocking stuffers last Christmas! Everyone loves them!" —DivaGranny
Get three from Amazon for $9.98.
20. A purse organizer so you can regain control over your jam-packed handbag. Plus, you can easily just pull it out and move it to a new bag in one motion!
Promising review: "I love this organizer so much! It’s lightweight too, so it doesn’t add extra weight to your bag. I feel so organized and will no longer be stressed looking for things in my purse!" —Sarah Rehkopf
Get it from Amazon for $15.88+ (available in 22 colors and six sizes).
21. A pepper corer if you want a handy tool that'll make it quick, easy, and mess-free to remove the stem, seeds, and core from your pep.
Promising review: "I love eating raw bell peppers and this handy gadget has been a real time-saver. Removes the core to make slicing up peppers much more efficient. Two thumbs-up for this ingenious kitchen gadget." —I love Amazon
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
22. A Rocketbook Wave Smart Notebook — it'll blast your handwritten notes and doodles straight to your preferred cloud service so you can save them forever. And once it's full, just throw it *in the microwave* to erase all of the pages at once so you can start fresh without constantly having to buy a new notebook... because the future is now!
Promising review: "I love this notebook! This is a very cool product and a great way to keep your notes electronically, but also have the time to process through handwriting (which the experts say is important). Great product — it makes note-taking fun again!" —JeannieInMD
Get it from Amazon for $24.75+ (available in two sizes).
23. An automatic pan stirrer for anyone who tends to forget to continuously stir certain ingredients and always ends up with clumpy results. It even has a built-in timer, so you can let it take over at the stove while you bask in the glory of your newfound free time.
24. A set of Anyday microwaveable cooking bowls designed to make fast and delicious meals from scratch — in the microwave! The silicone-rimmed glass lid keeps the steam in the dish to ensure evenly cooked food, and you can use the same bowls to serve your meal as well as store and reheat the leftovers! If you love the sound of less dirty dishes and low effort, yet tasty meals, these are worth the investment!
What's included: Large deep dish, large shallow dish, medium deep dish, medium shallow dish, and two small dishes.
Anyday is a small, modern cookware brand from Steph Chen. If you need some inspiration, check out Anyday's dish ideas which include recipes from the likes of David Chang and Joshua McFadden!
Promising review: "Giving five stars does not do this dish justice; it needs five billion stars! This has to be the BEST product I have ever purchased in my life. Since I do not have access to a stove or oven, these dishes have allowed me to 'cook' chicken, salmon, tilapia, shrimp, pork chops, and vegetables with just a microwave! Genius!! Thank you Anyday for this beautiful ray of sunshine you have bestowed upon my life." —SR
Get it from Anyday for $170 (originally $200; available in three colors).
25. A wearable blanket for anyone who wants to take the whole "never coming out from under my blankie" thing to a whole new level. It even has sleeves so you can work on your devices without exposing your arms to the cold, unforgiving air!
Here's why BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd is a huge fan of it:
"I LOVE this thing. It allows you to literally wrap yourself in a blanket, but still be able to use your hands, without your poor arm suffering in the cold breeze. I wear this while working from home, watching Netflix, and while taking naps. It's so comfy that there have been times I don't want to take it off when I have to run to the store — the only reason I do is because I don't want it to get dirty. I can't imagine one person who wouldn't be happy to receive this wonderful bundle of coziness."
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 16 colors/styles and with a zipper).
26. A set of magnetic glass spice jars you can stick to the fridge to free up a cabinet for other storage needs.
Promising review: "I am in love with my magnetic spice jars! I recently moved to a small apartment and don't have the counter or wall space to store spices or a spice rack, so magnetic jars it was! I love how these have a decorative feel while providing a secure way to store the spices. Unlike other magnetic spice jars I feel that these add an extra flair to displaying your assorted spices." —rae.m.wri
Get a 12-pack of small jars from Amazon for $72 (also available in 24 small jars, 12 large jars, 24 large jars, and a sample bundle).
27. A five-in-one aerator that'll instantly make even cheap wine taste better. But that's not all! It'll also 1) filter out cork and keep bugs and debris from getting inside, 2) make it easy to pour without splashing, 3) reseal the bottle if you wanna store some for later, *and* 4) prevent leaks whether you store it upright or on its side!
Promising review: "These are amazing! I bought one in New York at a winery not thinking it would change my life but it did! This is the perfect topper so you can put your wine back in the fridge on its side and not have to worry about it spilling. It was a great aerator, too. You don't need all the tools when you have this little guy. I bought three in total. One for my mom, too!" —Jenna
Get it from Amazon for $8.32 (also available in multipacks).
28. A tube of all-natural Nerdwax here to help keep your glasses in place on your nose, instead of partaking in their favorite activity — constantly slipping down your face no matter how many times you push them back up.
Nerdwax is a US-based small business that specializes in all-natural anti-slip eyewear products.
Promising review: "We saw this on Shark Tank, and thought we'd give it a shot. The lip balm-sized tube is perfect for travel. When walking on a beach with sunglasses on, sweat makes them slide down. Just a couple of dabs of this Nerdwax keeps them in place. It also worked well keeping my glasses up during snow blowing in a recent blizzard. So while I'd rather use it walking on a beach, it did the job when I was shoveling snow as well. Is it costly? Yes. But does it work? Yes!" —DeFelice Family
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
29. A Kochblume spill stopper to avoid a mess if your pot boils over. It traps excess foam and liquid so they don't spill all over your stove. No more hovering anxiously in the kitchen while waiting for your water to boil (and say goodbye to having a huge mess to clean up all because you BRIEFLY turned your head).
Promising review: "Wow wow wow, I have no words to describe how great this product is. I'm a mom with a large family who cooks and bakes all the time, and there is never a time that something doesn't spill over even when standing and watching the pot. With this, life has just gotten easy. I think I'm throwing out all my pot covers after using this."—Rackel
Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in three colors).
30. A pair of DrainWigs so the situation in your drain doesn't get too ~hairy.~ Simply leave it in your drain until it's full of hair, then toss and replace as needed.
Promising review: "I didn't even think about my shower drain being such a problem with hair. We have a relatively new shower and the drain was starting to be slow, but not really a problem because the pipe has a long drop. I was watching Shark Tank and thought maybe I need to check this out. Wow, there was a lot of hair to clean! Three long-haired girls in the house! I started using this and it pulled all sorts of hair out. We change it about once a month. Easy to pull out and no breaks or rust. I keep buying!" —Kindle Customer
