1. A reviewer-loved curl spray you can use to detangle damp or dry hair and provide unparalleled smoothness to curly locks. Making your kid's hair look presentable in the morning without the fuss? It is possible!
This spray is ideal for all hair types and has tons of reviews from folks with 2a–4c curls who absolutely swear by it!
Promising review: "My 2-year-old has super curly hair and it’s kinda on the thin side…before we started using this product it would get knotted a lot. But then we started using this after bath time and have seen such a great improvement! Her hair is soft, smells amazing, and her curls are so much softer and way less frizzy!" —Katelyn Donohue
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
2. An automatic toilet cleaner to keep your porcelain throne neat for up to FOUR MONTHS every time you flush!!! All you have to do is drop a tablet into the tank.
Promising review: "I wasn't impressed at first. This doesn't take the place of cleaning the bowl manually, but it does cut down on how often you need to clean your bowl. I had old stains from the previous tenants inside my bowl, but after about four weeks the stains have disappeared. Love this product!" —Dorine Buse

3. Nonstick oven liners for catching things like pie crust crumbs and sticky fruit residue, so all you have to do is clean these liners and not the oven itself.
Promising review: "These liners are life changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut them down to size to fit my toaster oven. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now; he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil, which he found so annoying, deterring him from grilling. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Kindle Custommer
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99.
4. A wrinkle release spray that'll get your clothing, sheets, and more looking as if they were just ironed or picked up from the cleaners without needing to go through the trouble of doing either of those things.
Be sure to check out our Downy Wrinkle Release review!
Promising review: "This year I have been attending medical school interviews all over the country. I have ONE suit that I do not have the money to continuously dry clean between interviews. I bought these to keep with me when traveling so my suit remains pressed and fresh. I typically spray it and do not hot iron it (as it's time consuming and I have other things to worry about on interview day like answer prep and transportation). Really does what it says, would be great to keep clothes crisp and nice smelling, especially if you have a garment that wrinkles easily and you don't feel like ironing before each wear." —Taylor
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.94+ (available in two scents).
5. A power scrubbing cleaning kit you can attach to your drill and get to work in making your living space look brand freakin' new. Reviewers say this only took minutes to use (because anything longer than that is an immediate no when the fall weather is begging your name).
Useful Products is a small biz based in New York — its founder is a former technician living with carpal tunnel who started the company to create products that'll allow folks like him to clean pain-free.
It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. BTW, the drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!
Promising review: "I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces and the cone brush hits the hard to reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." —Jason B.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in various brush stiffnesses).
6. A callus-removing gel that'll give you the baby soft feet you not only want, but truly deserve. No spa visits required.
Promising review: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
7. Cleaning K-Cups for the easiest, fastest way to get your beloved Keurig in the clean condition it should always be in to brew your favorite hot beverage.
All you have to do is put one of these babies in like you would with any other K-Cup, brew one large cycle, watch dirty water get cleaned out, throw the pod away, and then return to brewing your faves.
Promising review: "This was easy to use. Just pop in and let the system do the work. No downtime, no waiting. Simple and easy to use. I did notice a difference after the first use. Highly recommend it." —vetrie
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.
8. Magnetic pressure cooker cheat sheets you can attach to your cooker, or the fridge, or wherever you can put magnetic things in your kitchen. When it's time to cook up all the delish autumnal meals, all you have to do is check the cook time on these things, and you're good to go.
Promising review: "I am so happy that I decided to give this product a try! What an amazing idea. I placed the smaller magnet right on the Instant Pot and use it daily for a quick reference. Instead of searching the cookbook or internet, I can just glance over and know in an instant how to program my IP for that particular product." —Olesya
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
9. A painless hair remover that'll FINALLY allow you to stop fussing about with razors and shaving cream and treating nasty razor bumps or cuts. Hello smooth legs!
Promising review: "I love love love this shaver. It works great. Easy to use. Its design is a comfortable fit in my hand. The side grips allow no slipping. The more I use it the smoother my legs are. I have course hair and trouble with razor burn and ingrown hairs. Thus unit feels like an exfoliant treatment each time I use it. Really great. No irritation. I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $31.50.
10. A robot vacuum and mop because in what world does it make logical sense for you to take a mop, a bucket of sudsy water, and a heavy vacuum and clean your floors yourself when this genius machine exists to do it all for you?!
Promising review: "We LOVE this! It works so much better than our four other Roombas. It always returns to its home base to charge. It rarely gets stuck on anything. It’s very convenient. Our robot mop is so finicky and never wants to start. This product is so nice! We add water about once a day." —Ali Bruder
Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in black or white).
11. A cleaning ball you just toss into a bag, shake it up and let it collect crumbs, dust, and anything else living in there — a much more efficient method than picking it all out yourself.
Promising review: "These are THE BEST. They collect so much dirt and dust from my tote bag and keep everything clean. Super small and easy to clean as well!!" —SueMagoo29
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors).
12. A veggie chopper that'll make ridiculously quick work of dicing up carrots, onions, celery, or anything else you might want to whip up alllll the autumnal soups.
Fullstar is a small biz that specializes in super useful kitchen gadgets!
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors and three sizes).
13. A Revlon hot air brush you can use to dry and style your hair at the same time! If you're someone who is often pressed for time when getting ready, this wonderful gadget is a true game-changer.
Promising review: "I have very thick, wavy hair. I can never blow out my hair because it's too hard to hold the round brush and hair dryer in the right spots. THIS!! It is everything all in one and the oval shape makes it so easy to use. It gets really hot. It is a little loud on high, but I've found if my hair is already a little dry then I can just use it on low. I used a blow-dry primer spray to accelerate the drying time and protect my hair. I'm in love! The flat iron always flattens my hair and makes it look dry. This straightens and retains the volume and gives it a soft, nondamaged look." —SAHM2011
Some reviewers with 4a–c hair like this brush but others didn't work — if you're looking for something that was designed with coilier hair in mind, you may wanna check out the Revlon One-Step paddle brush — you can get it from Amazon for $37.99.
Get it from Amazon for $42.95.
14. A teeth-whitening pen for brightening up those pearly whites with a quick swipe. Sitting for an hour with a yucky gel-filled tray in your mouth or under a bright light at the dentist office is SILLY when you can just apply this and proceed with your day!
Promising review: "As whitening pens, these work perfectly! And for the cost, I personally think it's a good deal. I could tell a legitimate difference by the third or fourth day of using them. Super easy to use, convenient, and the whitening gel comes out really evenly for me (that was a problem for me with other brands). I've also had really bad pain sensitivity with Crest pens and a couple of others. But I didn't experience any pain with VieBeauti's. I'll definitely keep buying these for my at-home whitening treatments."—Blake
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
15. A knit Carhartt beanie because the thought of waking up before the sun does just so you have time to style your hair is incredibly daunting. Toss on this cutie (that'll also keep your head nice and toasty as the temps drop) and you're set!
16. A Dawn Powerwash dish spray capable of cutting through grease five times faster than regular dish soap. Now you can spend less time doing the dishes and more time watching Halloween movies.
This bundle includes one spray bottle and three refills.
Promising review: “The first place I tried this was in my air fryer basket. It gets caked with the grease that comes from the food. The dishwasher doesn't get it clean. I sprayed this on it and within a few minutes, the soap started turning a brownish color. I sprayed a little more and let it sit for an hour. All of the grease came off with a rinse!! Bonus use: I just used it to get resin off of mine and my daughter's hands!! How did I ever live without this??" —A D
Get it from Amazon for $21.84.
17. A reusable ChomChom pet hair roller because you may or may not be aware of this fun fact, but many dogs and cats tend to shed more in the fall in prep for growing their coats for winter. This bb will help make quick work of cleaning all that floof.
Promising reviews: "This is the best thing I have bought on Amazon to date. I have always tried to lint roll comforters and furniture when guests come and/or stay. Finding this gadget has made that task SO much easier and productive! Put this guy in your cart. Yep." —Kelsey Funk
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
18. A handy note pad so you can continuously check off items as you're running low/out of them in prep for your next trip to the store rather than have to sit down for 30 minutes and run through a list in your head.

Get a 60-sheet pad from Amazon for $9.45+ (available in four colors).
19. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to scrub...like...at all. Just rinse it the next day and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too.
Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
20. A winged eyeliner stamp that'll prevent you from wasting time during your makeup routine trying to nail the perfect cat eye. Just stamp it on and go, go, gooooo!
Lovoir Beauty is a small biz based in New Zealand that sells this genius winged eyeliner stamp known as The Flick Stick.
Promising review: "Honestly, I wish I had thought of this. A stamp for the right eye and left eye on the end of liquid eyeliner pencil with a liner on the other side of each pencil. I always mess up the wing but these are perfect! Much more subtle from the front but just what I love." —Mona G
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in two sizes and in a two-pack).
21. A plunger for making the chore of cleaning your furry friend's paws a seamless process for both of you. No more worrying about the dirt they're gonna track around your floors after they come back inside or trying to chase them around the house with a baby wipe in hand — been there.
Promising review: "This product is great. My puppy is a digger and we have red clay–type dirt. It gets her paws clean fast and easily. So much better than having to get a bath every time she digs." —Mandi Bultman
Get it from Amazon for $15.06+ (available in six colors, three sizes, and styles with or without a lid).
22. Wad-Free, a truly wonderful creation that'll stop bed sheets from getting all tangled and twisted in the washer and dryer. In turn, this will help ensure that your sheets, and the other items that frequently get caught in them, come out cleaner. I don't know about you, but I'm all too familiar with finding a soaking wet sock or shirt caught in the crevices of my bed sheets and having to put them back in the dryer and it's SO.VERY.ANNOYING!
If you watch Shark Tank, then this product may look familiar to you! Kevin and Lori both made offers, but the founder picked Mr. Wonderful. These are reusable and BPA-free! Wad-Free is a woman-owned small biz!
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
23. Slow cooker liners so cleanup is super fast and simple. Instead of soaking or scrubbing stuck-on messes for hours, you can simply toss the liner when you're done!
Promising review: "I just purchased a slow cooker, so I ordered these liners. Man, am I glad I did! I used one to cook a whole chicken and then filled it with water to make stock once we finished eating the chicken. The liner held up to making the stock, water to the near top of the cooker, for 15 hours. Once I dipped the stock and bones out of it, all I had to do was gather the liner together at the top and throw it away. The cooker was spotless! I had also cooked the chicken for eight hours. So, the liner held up for 23 hours of cooking without ripping at all. I am very pleased and will use them every time I use my slow cooker." —LMW

24. A jewelry cleaning pen to get your precious gems looking brand-new with a quick pen swipe all without having to leave the house.
Promising review: "I am obsessed! I have an heirloom diamond set high in a solitaire band and it gets dirty quickly. This worked awesomely and cleaned my ring back to a sparkler in 30 seconds! It looks as good as it does when it gets cleaned at the jeweler! I love that it fits in my purse too! Recommending it to all my friends!" —Shyan
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.38.
25. A silicone tray reviewers swear by for freezing cubes of soup — this is going to make you wonder how you lasted this many autumns without it. Come home and spend time making dinner or quickly heat up a cube and enjoy a comforting bowl of goodness? Option two, please.
Promising review: "I'm extremely happy with my Souper Cubes! I cook chili and soup and always make too much, having the ability to freeze serving-size portions is perfect. Saves time and food quality by not having to thaw it all each time I want another serving. High quality and since it's silicone and not rigid plastic it won't crack in the freezer. Highly recommend!" —Alexander S. Waterman
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors and in packs of two).
26. A motivational planner complete with space to keep track of appointments, water intake, priority and to-do lists, daily achievements, meals, gratitude reminders, notes, and date. It'll make getting through even the busiest, most stressful days feel a little more manageable.
Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.
Promising review: "These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." —Shannon Hoglund
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

Each one of these carriers can hold up to 80 pounds!! Click and Carry is a woman-owned small biz; you may recognize them from Shark Tank!
Promising review: "I heard about this product from a friend and had been meaning to check it out. My only regret about this purchase is not getting it earlier! I used to dread going to the grocery store due to the hassle of struggling with all my bags and the multiple trips to and from the car. Now those days are a thing of the past because of this ESSENTIAL product. After realizing my newfound love of this product, I did some research and found all sorts of other uses for it such as using it to secure my purse to my shopping cart and hooking my dog leashes together to walk both dogs at the same time. I love this product and love gifting it to others as well!" —Lisa Gilroy
