An ingenious two-sided travel cup
Promising review: “You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!” — Megan Huffman
A set of reusable can lids for transforming your cans into bottled drinks
Promising review: “I absolutely LOVE these can lids! For years I have wasted soda. In the relentless Texas heat, I would grab an ice cold soda, drink about half to either have it warm up or insects get inside of it. Then I didn’t want to finish the second half of the can. If a fly landed on the top, I had to toss it in the trash. If I put the warm can back in the refrigerator, it would not be fresh and bubbly when I went back for it. Now, I don’t have to worry about the bugs or the carbonation! These caps also make taking my soda with me in the car a lot more convenient. Excellent idea!” — Michelle S.
A security-boosting blackout stamp roller to cover up your sensitive information
Each swipe can cover about three lines of text, making it impossible to read from the front or back. Each roller gives up to 1,000 impressions. When it’s finally time for a refill, you can purchase extra cartridges here.
Promising review: “I read a lot of mixed reviews of other rollers before deciding on this one. Some people mentioned the small size as a problem, but for me it’s a plus. I don’t have room for a big gadget. I was also put off by rollers that spread the word CONFIDENTIAL, drawing attention to what you’re trying to hide. This one uses a pattern of letters that leaves an unintelligible black thicket of lines. I use it every day, and while it still has plenty of ink, I’m glad it is refillable. Highly recommended! Now I can recycle things I used to have to shred and discard.” — rainforest
An ingenious pair of gardening gloves with claws at the end to make digging into soil one thousand times easier
“I was skeptical about how well these are made. I stand corrected. These are well made and will stand up to years of gardening fun. Besides, even if you never actually dig any dirt with them, they are well worth the exclamations of ‘what the heck are THOSE?” from everyone.'” — Regmanabq
And a padded kneeler to protect your knees while you tend to your garden
Promising reviews: “This is perfect for when you need to pull weeds, plant or clean up flowerbeds, or pick berries. as We are seniors and it helps us get up off the ground. If we didn’t have this, we would be setting on the ground until one of us could pull the other up. It is the best item we have ever bought.” — CSD
“I’m 70 and have a passion for gardening. Much to my dismay I found when I got down to weed I couldn’t get back up again. This bench tool has made my weeding days enjoyable again…got another 10 years in me!” — RC Miller
A sturdy, lightweight eight-compartment pill organizer
Bra extenders to add inches of length to your band
A pair of detergent cap trays catch the drips from your various laundry soaps
Promising review: “I had no idea I needed this until I saw it on TikTok. Listen, it’s the little things that matter. This little thing saves me the headache of a laundry room mess. I love it. Fits perfectly on my liquid detergent. No more messes!” — Christina
A popular long-lasting eyeliner stamp
Promising review: “Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It’s very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I’ve tried other liquid eyeliners before and they were so watery and not close to a dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can’t wait to use it more often!” — Elizabeth
A Shark Tank–approved pair of weighted bangles you can wear on your wrists or ankles
Promising review: “I fell in love with the color selection and decided to give them a shot. They’re one of my favorite purchases to date, because I use these ALL. THE. TIME. When I’m cleaning, organizing, or doing little chores around the house, I slip these on for subtle extra resistance, and when I’m doing bodyweight workouts, I have them on. They are so comfortable, and I can tell they’ve been helping me. I can’t recommend them enough Ashley

A pack of reusable K-cups that’ll save you money
Miracle-Gro food spikes reviewers say work miracles to keep plants alive no matter what
A pet umbrella that’ll keep your sweet pooch dry during wet spells
Promising review: “This is an amazing item! My dog hates the rain and doesn’t like anything hovering over him. Because of the panels being clear he doesn’t realize there is something covering him. He just knows he is staying dry.” — Njoi Bronx
An anti-soggy cereal bowl with divided sections for cereal and milk
A truly awesome end table with charging outlets that’ll take care of all your needs
There’s tons of room on the top and bottom shelves to keep all your bedside items close, a delight for me since I like my bedside tables to hold a LOT so I have everything I need to chill before bed and in case I need ANYTHING in the middle of the night, lol. The fabric organizer is also an unexpectedly nice touch (no more misplacing my remote). Basically, I’m obsessed with this thing and I don’t even want to think about a time when I didn’t have it. I also think this is an amazing deal given that end tables half this size with no outlets often cost way more than this does. I’m already thinking about getting another one.
A self-aerating, self-watering pot to prevent
A tear-proof screen if your cat is basically an Olympic acrobat
Promising review: “Our delightful kitty, Skittles, will not be contained by ordinary window screens. She’s shredded four of them that blocked her favorite escape routes. In about a minute, she can make a cat-sized hole and she’s outta here. It’s been a nightmare here in South Florida. We can’t open our windows on hot nights because every flying and crawling critter comes right in through the giant holes in the screens. In desperation, I bought this to see if it would help. I installed the Pet D-Fence screening about a month ago. Little Skittles has made a couple of runs at it, but so far, it’s completely unscathed. I have a good feeling about this. The Pet D-Fence screening is slightly more opaque than regular screening, but that means nothing to me because regular screening won’t survive one night. So far, I’m very happy!” — verygooddog
A sheet of door-dampening bumper pads to get rid of the annoying sounds
Promising reviews: “Work just as promised. My husband always slams the cabinet doors. It’s been really bothering me and prompted me to find a solution without reinstalling new hinges. These little pads have reduced the noise by 95%. Love it! Worth every penny. Took me a whole 10 minutes to do my entire kitchen and we have a lot of cabinets. Thank you!” — MeL
“Didn’t know I needed the silence until I installed these things that my husband purchased. Our kitchen is so quiet now, absolutely amazing and simple fix.” — Chris

A brown sugar saver
Some lightweight odor eliminators so your fave walking shoes will stay fresh
Promising review: “I was skeptical this would work but boy howdy this is amazing! I never took my shoes off at people’s houses because my feet sweat and stink. These took the odor out of not only newish shoes, but ones I’ve been wearing for years! It’s amazing and I’m buying more.” — Ashley Patrick
A practical robotic vacuum with nearly 45,000 5-star ratings
Promising review: “He is my natural-born son and I would cry hot tears of sorrow if anything were to ever happen to him. Ok, so histrionics aside, I really really love this guy. This has been one of the best purchases I have made this year (if not ever) and I truly do think of it as an investment in myself and my mental health. I am lazy and hate vacuuming. But this guy? This little guy will just lightly whizz around the house over and over again, sometimes lightly bumping into things, sometimes jetting off into another room…just slowly but surely gathering up all the random dust, hair and other detritus that you don’t even know about and might not be able to get to with a traditional vacuum. My life is so much more at ease knowing I can clean without lifting so much as a finger.” — Jules
And a robotic mop since I’m pretty sure the only thing worse than vacuuming is mopping
Promising review: “I was a little price-leery on this but I’ve just been struggling to mop as much as I need to. I have three cats and I already have a regular vacuum robot that is amazing, but the idea of a mopping robot seemed different, like it wouldn’t be helpful. Then after falling behind on cleaning we finally decided to splurge and buy one and omg — it’s amazing. I should have given in a long time ago. My floors are so much cleaner because of this little mop robot.” — Christina H.
A dishwasher magnet to finally stop the perpetual guessing game
An adhesive garbage guard for getting rid of the flies and maggots circling your outdoor garbage
Promising review: “It’s what everyone says; perfect. I live on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi — hot, humid, and plenty of moisture in the air. My garage, where my trash cans are kept, opens to a large wooded area. Lots of flies. Regardless of washing them out weekly, using bags with ties, or making sure to rinse meat packages and such, my trash cans were fly heaven and laden with maggots around trash time. Well, I stuck these where everyone said to, underneath the lid. In less than TWO days there were no flies or maggots. NONE!! Now, you might open the lid and have one flying around, but he won’t last long. Seriously, this stuff works better than described.” — ztennyson
A reusable smart-notebook
Promising review: “I love this notebook. It was gifted to me and I immediately bought it as a gift for two other people. It is so easy to use and has every feature you need! If you’re like me and prefer to handwrite your notes and want an easy way to transfer them to a digital form, this is for you. I use this for work and school. Great to use for online math homework. It has the capability to text search your handwritten notes so everything I save is easy to find. You can send PDFs to almost anything — email, Dropbox, Google Drive, text, iCloud, etc. (The app is free and very intuitive). Plus, this means I don’t have to buy new notebooks anymore because I can reuse every page in my Rocketbook (of which there are more than enough to take notes through a whole class or meeting without running out of space). So, not only do I save money, I also save a TON of paper.” — Madison MacLeod
A pair of long-distance connection bracelets that use Bluetooth to “buzz” the other wearer’s bracelet
Promising reviews: “My love is being deployed across seas to Kuwait for the Army and we both know that there aren’t going to be too many times where we are able to chat on the phone or Skype/FaceTime each other with the time change and her schedule over there. I wanted to find something that would keep us close even though we are going to be so far away. These are so awesome. The touches are vibrant and every time I receive one from her, a huge smile comes across my face. It’s a simple, yet amazing way to let your significant other know that you’re thinking about them. You don’t need Wi-Fi, just a Bluetooth connection to your phone. Thank you, Bond, for keeping us close. PS: Our 15-month-old loves feeling the touches and loves sending his mom touches as well.” — Letzgetweird93
“When I first got this, I really didn’t think I’d be SUPER into using it (my partner and I are on the phone majority of the day anyways), but it’s become a VERY essential staple in our relationship. It also comes in handy for when he can’t get to the phone, but still wants me to know he’s thinking of me (and vice versa), and when an important text was sent and needs a little reminder (we have a code for “check your phone”)…or when we’ve arrived somewhere…it’s super useful and BEYOND cute. I feel the buzzes and see the light patterns throughout the day and it just makes me feel as close as possible when far away. Battery lasts incredibly long, it’s comfortable, works well. Yes, the app has to stay in the background on your phone, but it’s worth it imo.” — Celina Di Amore

A 50-count set of laundry soap sheets so you can easily wash your clothes while traveling
Promising review: “This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather. With these laundry soap sheets I was able to wash my clothes in the sink — letting me pack just the right amount of clothes for all the different places I went.” — Katie Fujarski
A clever plush elephant backpack to protect the back of your baby’s head and neck
An intuitive outlet timer to free you from worrying about whether you turned everything off
Promising review: “I read on the news about an air fryer bursting into flames while it was off. The house almost burned down but the daughter saw it and alerted them. Still there was some damage to their kitchen. Although this is probably really unlikely, I thought we needed something to prevent this so I found this device. Basically all my kitchen appliances are hooked up to this device. When I want to use it, I just hit the 1 hour button, etc. I also purchased a voltage detector to make 100% sure this device was working and it is. When this thing is off, there is no electricity running through it at all, it is dead completely. So I feel pretty confident it can be used to make sure those appliances are not getting any power.
“It’s surprisingly compact, which is great. You can still fit something else on the other socket for an outlet. It isn’t bulky and the button press very nicely with a nice clicking sound and feel. I’m so glad this sort of thing exists. Prior to this I had to unplug everything, and that is dangerous in its own right as you have the power cable exposed to possible water splashing. Overall excellent product for my use, couldn’t have asked for anything better.” — CMA
A plush microfiber makeup-removing cloth that’s a great alternative to the infamous Makeup Eraser
A splurge-worthy Litter Robot here to make your life approximately one thousand times easier
“I’ve been using the Litter Robot myself for over a year now, and I’m pretty sure both me and my two cats are way happier for it. After a cat is done using it, the Litter Robot waits a set amount of time until the cat’s presence is no longer detected, then begins to rotate, collecting the waste into a bag at the bottom while retaining the clean litter in the barrel. I usually don’t detect a smell from it afterward, though once the bag starts to get really full, you might get a subtle reminder that you need to take it out. I only have to take out that bag about once a week, and a flashing light will let you know when it’s full.
“Initially, the cats were a little spooked by the sound of the Litter Robot during a cycle, and for the first few weeks, they would just sit and stare at it, as if it would get up and run at them if they took their eyes off it. At this point, though, they’ve completely adjusted and accepted it as their way of life, making my life a heck of a lot easier while ensuring they always have a clean bed of litter. It’s a pricey purchase, to be sure, but if cleaning out the litter box daily or even every other day is hard for you and you’d rather not think about it much at all, I say the Litter Robot is worth it. One thing to note: It’s quite large, so make sure you have a dedicated space for it.”
A handmade one-of-a-kind hand-warming mug sporting an ergonomic pocket
“This coffee cup is amazing. This was a ‘took a chance’ gift for my coffee obsessed partner (who has 25 cups). She LOVES it. More then any of her other coffee cups. This is the only one she uses!! When my sister saw it she loved it too so now it’s her birthday gift. Exactly how it looks, durable, dishwasher-safe. Totally recommend.” —Kristen
A comfy, ergonomic Trtl neck pillow that won’t take up any extra space in your carry-on luggage
Promising review: “I can’t stop recommending this pillow to all of my friends! It has let me comfortably sleep on flights that take place on the most uncomfortable airplane seats. On long flights, I always need to prop up my hand and I rest my head on it. But this method always ends with my arm falling asleep and I end up waking up every 30 minutes. Now this pillow provides that exact same support without needing my arms to prop me up! It’s small enough to fit in your bag and doesn’t take up much space.” —Simona Krifman
A towel warmer
Promising review: “I bought one for myself, then bought several others as presents because it’s so nice. It’s fairly small and easy to find space for even in a small bathroom but is also big enough to hold two large towels at a time. There are a few small things to watch for: occasionally the on button takes a bit of finagling to work; it takes about eight minutes to hit ‘maximum’ towel warmth; if the lid is askew/not fully on the towel loses a lot of heat; there’s a bit of a plastic odor that goes away after the first few uses. But if you’re aware of those things, it’ssuper luxurious and worth every penny, having a super-warm towel waiting for you counters all the misery of having to leave the shower in the winter. It also makes a great present, it’s the kind of luxury item people don’t normally think to get for themselves but makes life so much better. Anybody who says you can’t buy happiness obviously hasn’t bought a towel warmer.” — Heather
A Wallet Ninja with 18 different functions (!) that’s small enough to fit in your pocket
Promising review: “This is definitely helpful to have on hand! The Ninja is small and slim but punches above its weight class in terms of usefulness. The tools are all things you might find yourself searching through a drawer for and are useful in a pinch. It fits comfortably in your wallet and will help you open a beer or tighten a screw. The coolest feature that I couldn’t find on most other similar products was the credit card phone stand. It is great for planes and other travel applications (I haven’t had trouble bringing this on a plane anywhere I have traveled, FYI).”— Mary
