I LOVE THESE HOOKS for putting my purse in the copilot seat, and also to hang shopping bags behind me." —Diego Pineda "This product has been so awesome for helmets and baseball bags this season! It keeps our car organized, and they are super sturdy. I’m sure I’ll find many more uses for them, but they definitely were a great find and I’d buy them again!" —Casey Schoening Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in 16 colors). ChooMee is a small biz based in Northern California that specializes in innovative products to solve everyday feeding challenges. Promising review: "It's made my life better. I can hand over a pouch to my screaming 1.5-year-old in the carseat while driving and not worry about puree getting everywhere!" —Puking Kitty Gravy Boat Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.98 (available in five color combos). Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa Get it from Amazon for $17.60 (available in four shades and in multipacks). Promising review: "My dog destroys every stuffed animal he can get his teeth on within five minutes of contact. I never buy stuffed toys anymore so I don't have to constantly clean up the stuffing around my house. I bought this on a whim based on the reviews, but certainly didn't expect it to last. For some reason this duck is different — I'm not sure if it's the longer 'fur' or something else, but he has not even put a hole in it after a couple of weeks. I wouldn't say it's his new companion; he does greet me at the door squeaking it in his mouth, and attempts to get us to chase him to try to retrieve it, but he has not tried to rip it open to remove the squeaker, as is his norm. I'm interested to see how long it will be around!" —charrob For more deets, check out our in-depth Multipet Duckworth dog toy review! Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.78 (also available individually). Promising review: "WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS??? I have never once felt a blanket that constantly keeps you cool? I am ALWAYS hot, but I love to be under blankets. This is the PERFECT blanket to keep from overheating. It feels like athletic-type material. A must-buy!!!" —Kenzie Get it from Amazon for $24.22+ (available in five sizes and 12 colors). Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of a “too good to be true” items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I would’ve taken a video, but I didn’t. It didn’t move/slip from the counter and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" —Ruthie V Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in 11 colors). Promising review: "This made my life so much better with chopping onions and other veggies! It’s so quick and easy. One tip is to make sure you cut your veggie small enough so that it’s easy to push down the handle. Big chunks are a little harder to chop. Please be careful with cleaning; the blades are super sharp." —Tasha Get it from Amazon for $25.97+ (available in six colors and six sizes). The firmness of the "Sqeezy" sponge changes depending on your water temp — you can use cold water for a firmer sponge or warm water to soften it up! In case you're not familiar with The Pink Stuff paste, this non-abrasive formula works on walls, grout, kitchen counters, sinks, stovetops, ceramic tile, metal, appliances, outdoor furniture...basically anything you can think of. Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn’t look brand-new like I was hoping, it’s 10 times better!! This product really does work!" —GreenGoddess Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.56. Promising reviews: "Changed my cleaning life for the better! Easy to use, reusable, and cleans well." —Kathleen Y. "I had actually seen/used them in Europe, but forgot all about them until I saw them on Amazon. They are easy to clean — I throw them in the dishwasher or clothes washer almost daily. They save me from using so many paper towels and in most cases do a better job than paper towels. I also keep one upstairs in the bathroom to clean up water splashes in the sink there. These are a really good idea. You don't realize it, but you need them in your life. :)" —Frequentfliermom Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five color combinations). Promising review: "My daughter is 4 and plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Heather Hambrick Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a pack of 16). Promising reviews: "This works perfectly. I couldn't love it more. Seriously, worth every penny. I had no idea they made such a thing. My life has changed for the better! LOL" —Pamela Irish "This product is better than sliced bread! My employer switched to Microsoft Teams, which goes into an idle status after five minutes. You can be seated in front of your laptop working, but if you don't move the darn mouse every four minutes, you show as inactive. The biggest pain in the butt ever! This product works! I laid my mouse on it, and I was never in an idle status unless I put myself in one. I'm a huge fan! And it doesn't hurt that it is pretty as well as functional. If you have a nosy employer, you need this." —Katharine Morris Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles). Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. Get it from Amazon for $13.10 (comes with the device and two glue cards; also available in larger packs). Promising reviews: "They felt weird the first time I put them on…but as I started walking in them it got better! Usually my feet are killing me by the end of the day or I’m just super sweaty in my dress shoes, but these are like walking on a literal CLOUD ☁️ and they let my feet breathe!" —Alyssa "Literally the BEST shoes ever! So comfy. I spent a whole day at Disney with no complaints, normally I'm tired after two hours of walking in the park, but with these babies, I was up and walking alll day with no problem." —Katherine Get them from Amazon for $47+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and 22 colors). I've been using this mouthwash for years and it's the only brand I will ever use from here on out. I can confidently say it changed my dental hygiene for the better. Morning breath? I don't know her. It also helped with my super sensitive gums that used to get irritated just from flossing. Promising review: "I had previously used some different rinses, but not often. I didn’t believe there was much point to them. At one of my dentist appointments, they suggested using this. I figured I may as well; it couldn’t hurt. TBH I was surprised at the price, but ordered it anyway. My next dentist visit went so much better than in the past! It helped prevent pain and saved me money. I credit Therabreath as I did nothing else different in my routine. Definitely something I use every day." —Zookeeper Promising review: "You know when your life gets better after you purchase a specific product? Well, this is that product. With this Texas summer weather approaching, wearing a bra is like sticking your breasts in a straitjacket! I slapped these bad boys on today and went braless in a white tank top! I'm a happy woman!" —Amazon Customer Get a pair from Amazon for $28.50+ (available in three sizes, five shades, and two styles, including one without lift). New parents, don't panic. Cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — is a very common dry scalp condition that affects infants. Promising review: "This cradle cap brush is a game changer! I was a little hesitant at first since I didn’t deal with cradle cap with my first child, but after hearing great things, I decided to try it out. I’m so glad I did! It works like a charm. The bristles are gentle but effective, making it easy to lift away the cradle cap without irritating her scalp. I just brush it in, and it really helps clear up the stubborn spots. After a few sessions, we saw such a huge difference! I definitely recommend this brush set to any parent dealing with cradle cap. It’s a must-have for keeping little heads clean and happy!" —Betzy BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising review: "This is a game-changer for my skincare routine! It effectively removes makeup, dirt, and impurities without stripping my skin. The oil has a gentle formula that’s perfect for sensitive skin, and I love how it cleanses deep into my pores, leaving my face feeling fresh and hydrated. The heartleaf extract helps to calm my skin, and it’s been great for controlling blackheads. It doesn’t leave an oily residue, and my skin feels smooth and clean after each use. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an effective, gentle cleanser!" —Manju Shree Kumaravel Drill Brush is a small business founded by a car wash owner, Anthony LaPolla, who had carpal tunnel and needed a way to clean rims without the strain of hand scrubbing. Tony started selling the design in 2007 and has since expanded the product line to include varying stiffnesses (each marked by a different color) to handle all sorts of cleaning tasks. The set includes three brush head attachments: a flat 2-inch detail brush, a flat 4-inch brush for large surfaces, and a rounded brush for corners. Promising review: "Sometimes, it's the simple things that really make a big improvement in your life, and this is one of them. I devoted an evening to cleaning my bathroom, and WOW, does the drill brush make it easy! This is by far one of the best purchases I've made for the money." —Anon Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in various brush stiffnesses). The system includes: a 200-watt motor base, a blending blade, a 32-ounce batch bowl with a lid, a 12-ounce short cup with handles and a re-sealable lid, six storage cups with date ring lids and storage tray, a silicone freezer tray with a lid, and a recipe book with tips for age-appropriate food transitions. Everything is dishwasher safe BTW! Promising review: "Loved making baby food with these! The containers were perfect portions, and I loved the dial on the lid so you could remember what day you made what. It was very easy to use and also very easy to clean. Love that I could dishwash every piece!" —Mary B Unlike the regular U-shaped pillows, Trtl Pillows are machine-washable and fast-drying. Promising review: "Used it for a 14-hour flight to Japan last week, and it helped tremendously. This was the first time I was able to sleep on the plane so this helped tremendously. Definitely a must-have for travel. It is very light so I was able to easily pack it in my under-the-seat wheeled trolley. I want to emphasize how much the light warmth of the fleece (and I don't like being hot) was just right to help me nod off to sleep. Since this is primarily for sitting upright in the seat or someone in the middle or the aisle seat, this was ideal for me. I just got back yesterday. Again I used it — this time for a 12-hour flight." —Ambience Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in four colors). For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Promising review: "I have gotten car sickness for as long as I can remember, even as a child. I am 40 now. I was recently asked to go on a road trip which included day travel, busy city and mountains. (Sun, stop-and-go traffic, and winding roads are all triggers for sickness). I hesitated. It was then recommended by a family member to try these. With hesitation, I bought them and wore them the entire time. I did not feel nauseous ONE time. My boyfriend even pointed out on the way home that I was on my phone and not sick. (Reading anything while riding has ALWAYS been a no go!) I was able to look out the window and enjoy the scenery (typically I can only look at the road as looking outside the window makes me sick). These will literally change my life as I can now enjoy traveling by car!!" —Sarah Martinez Get a pair from Amazon for $8.53 (available in six colors). Promising review: "My skin dries out severely during the winter all the time, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me, eww!! I resisted for weeks refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month I finally gave in, and boy it is amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer and it doesn't leave a disgusting greasy feel as Vaseline. Take it from a once non-believer, you have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." —Kyoko Ozaki Get it from Amazon for $19.40 (also available in a two-pack). Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on tiktok and NEEDED it. It was back ordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable which helps you save money and be less wasteful. The packaging wasn't over the top exciting, but it provided you all the info you needed. (It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep.) After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pickup everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B. This attachable aerator deposits oxygen into your wine, which improves taste and allows aromas to EXPAND. Promising review: "I bought this for my Dad who really likes his wine. He didn't think it would do much to the taste of the wine so I had him try some cheapish wine without this aerator and then had him try it with the aerator and the taste was like night and day. He's tried it on some of his better wine and while it does change the taste a little, it wasn't as drastic as the improvement on the cheaper wine." —Kayson Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors). Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like. Promising reviews: "LOVE it. I was using Olaplex No. 3 for a while, but it's expensive ($30) compared to this item. This does the same thing, and it's less than $10! It left my hair soft and manageable, and I love it. Try it out and you won't regret it!" —AmieeL "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good, I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box, but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-size dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair, which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough-looking, but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product. I have long, fine hair, but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie Promising review: "I live in a city neighborhood where all the gas stations have broken air pumps. This product has made my life so much better. It is quick and easy to use. Very portable. It also works on bicycles, but I have not tried that yet." —planetmom Get it from Amazon for $28.79+ (available in two sizes and four colors). Promising review: "I want every color. These are SO [cute] and comfortable. I don't think I've taken them off since I bought them. I get so many compliments. You definitely need these!!" —Darby Hayford Get it from Amazon for $23.49+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, four inseams, and in 35 colors). The kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Promising review: "I am a woman who loves a clean car, but with this virus, I can't take my car in to have it cleaned anymore, so now it's up to me, and I hate to clean the inside of my car. I hate taking my large vacuum out to the car, pulling it this way and that, just trying to do a good job. When I came across this wonderful little vacuum, I ordered it. I love it. First it is little and light, but don't let that fool you. It cleans my car in no time, and with that 16-foot cable, I could also clean my trunk without a bit of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like to clean my car, but I don't hate it anymore. It does a wonderful job." —Coco Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in a corded or cordless version). Promising review: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven’t started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" —Susan Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king, plus sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses and 46 colors/patterns). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom and now she's in love with them too!" Promising review: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn’t frizzy or dull looking when I get up in the morning." —Aaron Key Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ for a set of two (available in four sizes and 31 colors). Promising review: "Shut up and buy these jeans. Buy 10 pairs because lord knows as soon as you find a pair of jeans you like you’ll never find them again. I can never — I mean NEVER — find jeans that fit me. These are the right length. They fit my hips. They don’t gap at my waist. And this inner tummy slimming panel? Oh sweet baby cheezus YES. These jeans make me look even better than I did before I grew another human being. Literally ditching every other pair of jeans I have and stocking my entire wardrobe with these." —S. Whitney Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 2–28, including short, medium, and long sizes, and in 11 washes). Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy. Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon making tools for gardening. They've been making this tool since 1913! Promising review: "I love gardening but I’m getting older now and weeding is backbreaking work…until I bought this product. It works like a charm, it grabs onto the rootstock and you simply leverage it out of the ground, root and all. The other end of the lever works well too, like the claw of a hammer; it grabs onto smaller weeds and lifts them out of the ground. Now I can weed a large area in less than half the time without breaking my back. 👍" —Michael D. Kutras Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
