Living life is hard work, but not after sneaking these into your routine.

I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping writer since 2017, with a focus on unique, practical products, up-to-date parenting finds, and up-and-coming home decor.

Promising review: "This is the best product. It cleans well and has a discreet clean smell. There's no need to rinse. It's made with harmless ingredients. Efficient. Lasts for a while." —Vero

Promising review: "Our new LG washer gets a stinky smell every so often, so I bought these tabs. I put one in a month on the clean tub setting, and it eliminates the odor. I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and added an X when I put the tab in for the month. This way I don't miss a month, and my washer runs great." —akkeber

Promising review: "Love this desk. Easy to set up and looks so elegant in our office. Very sturdy and heavy-duty. Perfect for a couple sharing a space. Drawers are a little tricky if you don’t tighten the screws enough, so follow the directions step by step. Overall, really pleased with this desk! Looks beautiful." —Rebecca Vega

Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" —Helen

 Promising review: "OMG, this is a must-have. I can't believe it took me this long to get a Zojirushi. We use it almost daily for steel-cut oats, for which it is perfect. We've also started really getting into bowls for dinner, so we use them 2–3 times a week to make barley, millet, basmati brown rice with saffron, or quinoa. We've mostly used the porridge, brown rice, regular, and occasionally quick settings, but we might play with more. The bowl has a great non-stick coating. I can't recommend it enough." —Mira Krishnan

Get it from Amazon for $183.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Danielle Healy says, "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer."

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.99 (available in multiple pack styles and in three scents).

Promising reviews: "Cool gadget. This thing is a game-changer. I hate peeling apples, and this is just perfect." —Joslyn Jonhson

"If you have to peel potatoes, you need this. It takes half the time and saves your hands the work. I would not want to be without it. I gave it as a gift and told my friends about it. Making a holiday meal, this is a must-have. You will be so impressed and happy to have it. Don’t pass it by." —cardmaker

Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based small biz that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.

Promising review: "How did I live without these? Since I began working from home, these sheets are the best. They keep you accountable, and I can go back to see what I accomplished each day, since you have to report your daily tasks. About to order more...thanks for making life easier! —Pame66

Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in nine styles and two sizes).

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before-and-after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors).

I bought this after seeing it in a coworker's BuzzFeed article (you better believe I trust a BF review!) aaand it is witchcraft. I recommended it to my grandmother after using it. You don't know Nene, but if you did, you'd know recommending a kitchen tool to the *elite* chef in my family is a BIG deal. I bought it as a time-saver. I tossed an entire boiled chicken breast into this thing, twisted it twice, and it was perfectly shredded. I recommended it because I think it's a massively useful tool for folks with limited mobility or frustrating arthritis. This one's worth the cupboard space, folks! 

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of those '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 had taken a video, but I didn’t. It didn’t move/slip from the counter, and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" —Ruthie V

Check out our full review of the Scrub Daddy sponge here.

Promising review: "How can you NOT love the Scrub Daddy? Been getting my friends hooked on this for years. Buy it, then send me a little thank you note because it changed your life. OK, maybe not changed but definitely nudged. Never smells, dishwasher safe, last forever, doesn't hurt dishes, gets all the junk." —Kristi Rosengreen

Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99.

This stainless steel cleaning spray also comes with a handy dandy microfiber cloth.

Promising review: "This cleaner doesn’t leave a residue and actually works! Highly recommend!!" —Courtney B.

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in multipacks).

FYI — this set includes four bins: a six-cell bin with dimensions for ties, scarves, pocket squares, etc., an eight-cell bin great for your underwear drawer, a seven-cell bin that'll organize your bras, and a 24-cell option designed with socks in mind.

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C-cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers, I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD, and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best, cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $15.87+ (available in seven colors and two pack sizes).

Slobproof is a woman-owned small business.

Promising reviews: "Works great, no mess! This was easy to use to touch up our son's bedroom corner walls." —Elizabeth

"Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints, and so far, they've stayed usable without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker, and it works okay." —Hooked on AMZN!

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two pack sizes).

Promising review: "This stuff is a miracle. My husband and I just bought a house and there is very hard water. It looked like the previous owners never tried to get the hard water off the shower doors and walls. I tried vinegar and Dawn first — it didn't even scratch the surface. I tried Scrubbing Bubbles next, and it was the same. I was feeling so defeated. I did some research and bought Bar Keepers Friend. With a grade 0000 steel wool piece, it took me about two hours to clean a quarter of the window in my shower. My arm also felt like it was going to fall off. I was determined, so I researched more. Then, I found this stuff. I was so anxious that I cracked it open minutes after receiving it in the mail. I applied it to my grade 0000 steel wool and started scrubbing away. BINGO! It took me about 15 minutes to clean the same size section as I did with the Bar Keepers Friend. I'm not gonna lie, this stuff needs some elbow grease, but it definitely works. It took off what seems like years of hard water stains. It does have a smell to it, but it's not super harsh and totally able to withstand. This is going on my 'always available in my house' list! I love this stuff!" —Tyrene A. Gapol

Promising review: "These are a game changer! I have some heavy appliances like my espresso machine and reverse osmosis filter that I hate to pull out to fill with water. These tiny sliders have been incredible! Immediately better, and so far (about three months in), no issues at all. Still gliding!" —sara

Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in various sizes and quantities). 

PSA: There's a chance that the included Velcro-like adhesive can become dirt-traps when the filters are removed. Also, some reviewers note that the adhesive peeled the finish off of their fan during removal. If you’re scared of that happening, you can install these filters with Command strips instead!

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

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $22.99.

Each litter box comes with a pre-portioned package of litter that you pour into the tray. It will start cleaning 20 minutes after it's detected that your cat has left the box. When the tray is full, simply remove it and dispose of it.

Promising review: "Admittedly, I am a lazy cat owner. I hate taking the litter out every day. This is a dream. I have one cat, and I change its litter once every month. Very limited smell (I use the purple crystals). This is the only thing I’ve ever reviewed on Amazon because it’s THAT worth it. Worth every penny to not take the trash out every single day. My cat adapted perfectly, and he’s picky as can be. Everyone needs this. Literally everyone." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $142.49+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "This is a game changer, y'all! I'm awestruck! I have arthritis all over and a limited income, and this helped me clean every single wall in my bedroom in one day. I just rinsed out the yellow head in the sink every few square feet. I'm so excited and telling all my friends!" —Lou DeJesus

Promising review: "By the picture, I was expecting a lightweight plastic base with flimsy metal uprights that would hold a lightweight pan or cutting board. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!! This is a very heavy-duty base with a good grip on the bottom. The uprights are heavily coated wire to prevent scratching of the items they hold. I am SO PLEASED with the quality of this rack that I will be ordering a couple more to use for my skillets. Buy with confidence as these are really a quality product." —labbie1

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three styles).

To use, simply apply, wait six to eight hours, and then rinse away. No scrubbing required!

Promising review: "I was skeptical about using this product as I have tried countless 'mold and mildew removers' out there. My mold and mildew problem is impossible to remove. I scrubbed, bleached, and treated it, but no noticeable difference. I left this product overnight, and I was like, 'What is this sorcery?' I have no other words to explain it. Phenomenal results!!" —iAwesome

Promising review: "I love this product! It makes the floors shine, the aroma is pleasant, and everything feels and looks refreshed. It is streak-free, easy to use, and makes my bathroom floors look beautiful. It takes a small amount but does a fantastic job." —Prime_Shopper_2017

Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack).

It comes with the air fryer, one 6-quart glass container, one 2.5-quart glass container, a removable base, two crisper plates, two storage lids, and a chef-inspired recipe book.

Promising review: "This Ninja Crispi Pro blew me away. I’ve owned a lot of kitchen gadgets over the years, but this one instantly became a top-tier favorite. It’s powerful, it’s simple, and everything about it just works. The controls are easy to understand, the performance is consistent, and the food comes out perfect every single time — crispy where it should be crispy, juicy where it should be juicy. I use it for quick meals, full dinners, reheats…everything. It saves time, keeps the kitchen clean, and honestly makes cooking fun again. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. If you’re thinking about getting one, don’t hesitate. It’s absolutely worth it." —Darnell

Get it from Amazon for $299 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "This is very useful, especially if you are new to using an air fryer. It's straightforward, easy to read, with different categories, including desserts. Has a nice-sized magnet on the back for fridge use, and a hook if you want to hang it up. I'd say they thought of everything, including being sturdy and well-made. Good price, good quality." —Thelma Johnson

Skywin is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. 

Promising review: "I’ve been using this product now for several months. I’m honestly surprised by how something so simple can be so helpful and save me money. Just by tilting my laundry detergent jug on this, I’m able to get every last drop of detergent out of it, which prevents wasting detergent and saves me money. I’ve never had issues with clogging, and it holds a standard-size bottle or an oversized jug. It also helps to keep my laundry closet looking clean and organized. Good buy!" —Jenn Madonna

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sets of two and three and in nine colors). 

This also comes with a five-year warranty. If you want a long-lasting option that also LOOKS lovely, you can't top this. There are so many colors to choose from, you're sure to find the one that makes you smile the most when you greet it in the morning. 

Promising review: "I thought I made a decent cup of pour-over coffee. I thought so until I had my first cup from this machine! It’s incredibly smooth and delicious. I don’t have time for manual pour-over in the morning, but I didn’t want cheap drip coffee. This maker fits the bill! So quick and easy to use. The price was my holdout for a while, but I’m so glad I bit the bullet and bought it. I’m the only coffee drinker in my house, and I make just one cup per day. Very happy with it!" —Lindsey Stout

I have never seen my husband gush over a product for our daughter more than he has with this wagon. And I'm just as big of a fan! There are *so* many useful accessories you can get to customize your ride specifically to your family's needs. We have a canopy, a cushioned toddler seat, extra storage nets, a cooler, and more. There are different attachments for season changes and a range of ages — so this truly grows with your child. It is easy to get through doors, swivel around pedestrians, and roam around uneven surfaces at the park. I can't think of a more useful product for parents in a city, or families who are often out and about. We take this with us when we grocery shop, and it's been life-changing. We've had this for over two years and have made it work, hard, in all weather (peep my family on the right in the impressive NYC blizzard of '26). This stroller keeps us moving!

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to assemble this rack. It's not flimsy. The quality is very sturdy. It fits over my large sink and is adjustable, so I'm assuming it can fit most sinks. It's got a lot of holders in various sizes, so it can fit a lot of items like sponges and liquid dish soap bottles. I love how it stores all my go-to sink and dishwashing items in one place. It makes my kitchen look much more organized and neat." —Moonray

Get it from Amazon for $56.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).

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. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $26.72+ (available in six styles and four colors).

Promising review: "This item is super easy to use and cuts well every time. I've used it at least 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 Little ELVES!" —Cathy Bitner

The set has a 10.5-inch fry pan, a 3-quart sauce pan and lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan and a lid, a 6.5-quart Dutch oven and a lid, and storage for the pans and lids. 

The video above is me doing my darndest to find something this cookware can't do by *caramelizing heavy cream* aaand guess what? It was flawless! These refuse to let anything stick to them or gunk them up. I use them heavily, every single day, and they continue to outdo themselves. Also, the storage system deserves its own highlight. I have nearly no counter space, and these pans aren't small, but the clever cubby/hanging canvas pot holder makes it possible to tuck this entire set into a teeny tiny corner beside my stove. I'm not a good enough person to deserve this kitchen set. I really, really recommend it.

Promising review: "I absolutely love my Caraway cookware! They are so easy to clean, and the magnetic organizers are great for easy storage in kitchen cabinets. I love the hanging lid holder as it saves space and is super convenient (and renter-friendly with the adhesive hooks). The only thing I would mention is that they are not super lightweight. Otherwise, they are superb quality, nontoxic, nonstick, and beautiful!" —Rachel

Get the 12-piece set from Amazon for $445 (available in eight colors and in 16- and 24-piece sets).

Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they’d work, but the gel solidifies, and with every flush, suds wash through with the water, and it really makes a fresh difference. Also, the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting, but they do the job." —Jane

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through multiple flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —SimpleStyleMe

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets).

Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." —Wenhether

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in eight colors). 

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in eight styles).

Promising review: "This is definitely better than I expected! Holds so much and looks so nice. Definitely worth the price. Easy to put together and rolls great. I also love that it has breaks." —Rose

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: "10/10, would recommend. Got this initially for cleaning up the hair in my salon. It works perfectly! I love it. It’s so easy. This is AMAZING!!" —Alyssa

Get it from Amazon for $229 (available in three colors).

My BuzzFeed Shopping coworker Elizabeth Lilly has this to say: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well."

Get the starter pack from Amazon for $19.96 (includes one spray bottle and three refills).

I use this in my kitchen! I have to admit...it hasn't exaaactly helped with organization. What it *has* done is created a neat and orderly spot for my utensils...opening up a ton of extra drawer space for my unruly stash of pens, bouillon cubes, drink flavor packets, and the like. Long story short — I recommend this for tidy and messy folks alike!

Promising review: "We were short on storage and drawer space, and this worked perfectly for our tiny drawer!" —Angela McMichael

Getting out the blow-dryer and flat iron is a hassle of the past! Plus, this single-tool solution means less heat damage to your hair!

Promising review: "Amazing product. I wish I had found this 20 years ago!! I have naturally curly hair and enjoy a nice blowout without having that pin-straight, burnt flat iron look. This product helped me achieve the blowout look in about five minutes (yes, five!). When it comes to hair, I’m a super novice, and this is by far the easiest, most effective (inexpensive) blowout. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Where has it been all my life?!?!" —Sara Kovach

Get it from Amazon for $44.95+ (available in two styles).

BTW, one cartridge can last up to three months!

Promising review: "I am so tired of spending money on brush heads to clean the toilet bowl. I bought this for our guest toilet. The toilet bowl has been perfectly white and clean for months now. I just bought another one for the other toilet in the house. It should take less than 10 minutes to install, even with trouble. Highly recommend for a clean toilet bowl." —John Glynn

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

Promising review: "There are people who have this butter bowl, and then there are savages. It’s like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that. I feel like society moved one step closer to true enlightenment with this invention. It really is the cat's meow, and keeps our cat from licking the butter!" —Mike

Get it from Amazon for $27.85 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "So I was skeptical, but I bought it because I thought it was cool to have the veggie/herb stripper and its width. What I didn't consider was the angle of it, that it's not just a straight cutter. I love to cook on my cast iron skillets, and it has been AMAZING scraping while I cook with my Oxo skillet spatula. It's super easy to hold, and I'm able to scrape up hashbrowns (this morning) with ease with the angle. I've also chopped onions and nuts on the cutting board when I got lazy with the knife. I don't know about you, but I get slippery lizard fingers in the kitchen. I like the feel of the textured wood that doesn't slip out of my hand, not the cold, slick metal." —I Sing to Yahuah

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I HATE cleaning my oven, and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, 'You'll clean it tomorrow.' As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that worked....the first time. I needed professional help the second time, so of course, I put that off until I couldn't. Got on Amazon and, as I always do, I read the product description and instructions, and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed 'best oven cleaners.' This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well, and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." —Sandra Stephens

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
