1. A trusty outlet shelf to keep additional items off your cramped surfaces. Use it to hold your electric toothbrush or even your Alexa device! Either way, you'll be relieved to have one less thing causing unnecessary clutter.
Promising review: "Bought this on Prime Day. I like listening to music/podcasts in the shower, but we don’t have much room for a speaker/Echo Dot on our counter space in the bathroom. This product solved this issue. It’s very sturdy and easy to install. Highly recommend!" —Jude Chauvin
Get it from Amazon for $11.38 (available in colors white and black and in two-packs).
2. An oil mister so you never have to roll your eyes at the "toss in olive oil" step in recipes ever again. This will do all the tossing without getting your hands covered in grease.
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 $10.87 (also available in two-packs).
3. A life-saving ChomChom pet hair remover roller if you love your fur child but not the hair problem. Roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment when you're done!
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 $26.99+ (available in two colors).
4. A handmade wooden cord organizer for preventing your many cables from falling through the tracks. This will keep things organized and help you maintain those immaculate organization vibes you love so much.
StemBear is a small business that focuses on unique wooden desk and phone accessories.
Promising review: "The cable organizer I purchased was exactly what I was hoping for! I adhered it to the side of my end table and now I don't have to worry about my charging cords being on the floor. They are organized, out of the way, and easy to find when I need them. And, no more knots in them! The piece is also extremely well made and the price point was fantastic. I highly recommend this item!" —Heather Fueger
Get it from StemBear on Etsy for $40.63 (originally $58.04; available in dark and light wood).
5. Plus, a 3-in-1 wireless charger that'll make you feel like a champ because somehow it charges ALL your devices at once. Simply place your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods in their designated spots and let the charging begin.
Promising review: "I love this charging station! I‘m one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve misplaced my AirPods because I didn’t have a dedicated place for them. Now there’s no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." —Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in six colors).
6. A TikTok-famous toothbrush holder and dispenser when you've been dreaming of eliminating counter clutter for good. This holds products *and* dispenses toothpaste, so you'll get plenty of use out of it.
This includes a toothpaste dispenser (that'll squeeze out every last ounce!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.
Promising review: "Every household with kids should have this thing, actually EVERY HOUSEHOLD, REGARDLESS! No more finding toothpaste everywhere but down the sink drain, no more throwing half a tube away because of lost caps, insert your favorite brand in the dispenser, and voila! Simply press your brush against the lever and a perfectly portioned dollop every time. When it’s time to rinse, grab one of the four cups that are hidden in the top and bottom of this little masterpiece. Rinse your brush, open the storage compartment, hang brush, and shut lid! Bristles are covered and protected from the wide array of germs that like to inhabit bathrooms." —Jen
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors).
7. An electric mug warmer you'll wish you discovered sooner, especially considering how many times your coffee has gone cold before you even got a sip. Your beverage will stay toasty so you don't have to keep reheating it.
Tip: Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once your drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature!
Promising review: "This is my third Vobaga coffee warmer. I bought the first one in 2018, and it's still going strong. It keeps my coffee hot to the last drop. It's important to remember it doesn't heat up cold beverages to piping hot. It keeps hot beverages hot." —hottytoddy
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven colors/styles).
8. A tub of The Pink Stuff for anyone who needs a miraculous cleaning paste to get rid of tough messes. You'll be shocked by how quickly and easily this stuff can lift the stains you've been battling for ages.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross tried The Pink Stuff and says: "Upon moving to a new house, I discovered I'd inherited some not-so-well-maintained white bathroom tile, with white grout to match. At least, the grout had been white at one point. Woof. After having heard nothing but raves about The Pink Stuff, I decided to see how well it would work on what has probably been my most trying cleaning task to date. Well, I'm happy to report that after a bit of light scrubbing, The Pink Stuff was able to lift most of the muck off of the grout, revealing a much lighter surface underneath (GIF for proof!). While I think it might take a few more applications for the grout to *dazzle,* I'm super impressed by the difference I was able to see right away, and with not very much elbow grease to boot. I mean, it is white grout, so if it was able to work wonders on that, I can't wait to see what it does for my crusty pots and pans!"
Promising review: "What can I say? I love this product. My daughter drew a happy face in the bathtub (with permanent marker). I tried removing it with everything I could think of, but nothing worked. With this paste, it was gone within less than a minute. I immediately tried it on my stove — omg, I'm in love. It’s a purchase I don’t regret at all. Will be buying it again. This stuff has helped me remove stains that I wasn’t able to clean with anything." —Happy customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in three sizes).
9. A "Shower Cat", a lifesaver if you're someone who sheds a whole lotta strands when washing their hair. Instead of it clogging your drain, the Shower Cat will stash it and you can empty it out when you're done.
Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.
Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
10. A snap-on pasta strainer to strain hot water and juices from a pot *without* potentially burning yourself OR losing any of your meal. The space-saving design is perfect for small kitchens, too!
Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voilà! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six colors).
11. A brilliant set of bedsheet fasteners so you can fix one of the most annoying issues ever: sheets that refuse to stay put. Lock 'em into place and never lose sleep over stubborn bedsheets again.
Promising review: "I love these! Since I started using them my sheets haven’t popped off once and that used to be a multiple times a night problem I had because I toss and turn when I sleep. Thank you TikTok!" —Gabby
Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three colors and as a set of eight).
12. A handy-dandy milk frother that'll make your at-home coffee way more appealing. You'll be able to add some ~frothy deliciousness~ to any drink (even if you use non-dairy milk)!
Don't forget the AA batteries!
Promising review: "OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in 43 options).
13. A macrame fruit hammock because you should be able to organize your oranges and bananas without having to sacrifice even more counter space. Let 'em ~hang out~ in this hammock until you're ready for a snack.
Knapp's Knots is a San Diego-based small business owned by Anastasia Knapp who is quite possibly making the cutest macrame and wood crafts you've ever seen.
Promising review: "I love this! We have a smaller kitchen and there isn't really room for a fruit basket. This hammock keeps our fruit safe and sound while keeping our counter space clear. We've been using it for over a month without issue. Furthermore, it looks great!." —Margaret Mauk
Get it from Knapp's Knots on Etsy for $28.90+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
14. A ~dreamy~ storage ottoman, aka living proof that lovely home accents can also be functional. Pop your TV remotes, books, or candles inside and they'll be out of sight until you need them.
BuzzFeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord says: "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."
Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
15. A roll-up drying rack for drying dishes without rendering your counter totally useless. Place this over the sink and let dishes dry without them becoming another obstacle you have to navigate around.
You can also use it to wash and dry produce!
Promising review: "This product is a game changer for small kitchens. Forego the large drying rack and get this sleek, stylish space-saver. I don’t like leaving dishes in the sink, nor do I have a dishwasher, and this is just perfect for keeping the sink clean and leaving the counter space open. It's also amazing for washing produce." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in nine sizes and in colors black or warm gray).
16. Some wooden hooks so you can ~hang your hat~ at the end of the day — and your coat, purse, etc. These are small, cute, and will complement your decor while adding storage to your space.
Promising review: "I love how large and substantial these hooks are. They definitely feel high quality and are super easy to install. I was able to screw them directly into a stud on my wall and know they’ll be able to hold a lot of weight. I used them to hang some baskets which will store my incoming mail." —Evelyn Vang
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $17.69 (available in walnut and beech wood).
17. A towel rack when you don't have the luxury of a giant linen closet in your home. Mount this baby on the wall, roll up your towels, and you've got the next best thing!
Promising review: "Perfect for our bathroom! We recently moved and the new master bath doesn't have a linen closet, so we had to get creative with how to store everyday items like towels. Since they were going to be out in the open, I wanted something that was functional yet decorative. This fit the bill perfectly! We have towels from IKEA, and even tightly rolled, the rack was a bit tight, so I just used my hands and gently pulled each hook out a bit and now the towels fit perfectly. I am very happy with this purchase!" —Faye_Bon_Fury
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in six colors).
18. A genius magnetic stove shelf to clear out that very messy spice drawer or cabinet you've been agonizing over. Plus, all your cooking staples will now be within reach and ready to use!
This shelf is completely magnetic, so this is a great renter-friendly option to avoid using nails and drilling!
StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and three colors).
19. And this sleek magnetic strip if you secretly despise your knife block because of how much space it occupies on your counter. Swap it out for this, which will look lovely against your backsplash while storing your knives.
This is much better than storing knives in a drawer where they can scrape up against each other and dull the blades. This magnetic bar comes with mounting hardware and instructions to hang it up, and it is also compatible with Velcro or any kind of mounting tape.
Promising review: "I want to order another one!!! I wish I had thought to purchase one of these sooner. The magnet is strong and holds plenty of my everyday knives. I decided to put it on the side of my fridge and it holds perfectly when you remove the back and stick directly on. I didn't need anything extra to hold it in place either. Now I have more counter space." —RayJoni07
Get it from Amazon for $13.27+ (available in nine sizes).
20. A jar of odor-removing gel for anyone constantly battling stubborn smells — it's time to call in reinforcements that'll actually work. Open the jar, place it where odors linger, and the gel will absorb it rather than mask it.
I bought this stuff shortly after adopting a new cat because, somehow, I totally forgot about all the fun smells that linger in the house with a feline around. I keep this near the litter box and (with regular scooping/changing, of course) it makes a significant difference in the not-so-pleasant odors. I went with the original scent and I LOVE that it doesn't give off an overpowering, artificial smell. Also, one jar lasted over three months before I had to repurchase it. Needless to say, I bought a two-pack the second time around!
Promising review: "I have eight large breed dogs who have the run of the house, even though we sweep and vacuum twice a day you can still smell dog. I have little to nothing in the way of soft surfaces that hold odor and the whole house gets a deep clean three times a week, but the smell keeps popping up. I put three of these around my house and people have asked me if the dogs are not in the house anymore. It doesn't cover up the smell, it really eliminates it and leaves the house smelling crisp and clean." —Pamela Caldwell BB
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four scents, larger sizes, and individually or in packs of three).
21. A truly magical stain and odor-eliminating spray, which continues to receive the stamp of approval from pet parents. It removes those yucky stains and odors commonly found in homes with pets — but not yours, not anymore!
This spray contains natural enzymes that feed directly on the ammonia crystals and organic matter (gross, I know, but effective) to eliminate stains and odors. Goodbye forever, pet accidents!
Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.
Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain, and more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelly
Get it from Amazon for $19.31 (also available in a larger size).
22. Strong magnetic strips when you're determined to store that six-pack in your overstuffed fridge one way or another. You'll feel like some kind of hero after freeing up some space on those crowded shelves, too.
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 things like cheese or something." —AbbyValentine
Get two magnetic strips (holds a six-pack) from Amazon for $29.99.
23. A game-changing cup rinser because doing dishes is enough of a drag, so why not simplify the process? You can use this for everything from baby bottles to beer glasses. Keeping your fave cup clean at all times has never been easier!
Check out a TikTok of the cup washer in action. To install, you can use the instructions and materials provided to easily hook it up to the hot water line. Note that this won't install on sinks without a flat edge!
Promising review: "Never knew I needed one until I saw it on TikTok, and with water bottles and toddler cups it is essential to my household!" —Gayla Brink
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two styles).
24. FryAway Waste Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder to make it much easier to dispose of leftover cooking grease. Sprinkle the powder in the oil while it's hot, let it cool, then scoop it into the trash. You'll soon wonder how you dealt with leftover grease before this revelation.
FryAway is a woman-owned and Latine-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.
Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore! This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two styles).
25. A breakfast sandwich maker that'll make lazy weekend mornings much more delicious. Too tired for McDonald's drive-thru? This mighty useful gadget has you covered.
Promising review: "FAM. I need you to lissssssten. I would give this product 87 stars if I could. You'd think it would be one of those gimmicky kitchen appliances that barely even works. EXCEPT you're wrong. It's amazing. It's quick. Look. Lissssten. You put the ingredients in and about two minutes later your tummy is all like 'oh yesssss.' Basically. Just buy it. Purchase the sammich maker. You're welcome." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors).
26. An automatic pan stirrer with a timer, which will come in handy for those times when you start cooking only to get pulled away momentarily. This will keep it stirring until you return!
Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." —Jake the ChefturnedDaddy
Get it from UncommonGoods for $25+ (available in battery-powered or rechargeable models).
27. A universal jar opener for when you get a sudden craving for pickles and you have NO time to waste struggling to open 'em. It's also great for tiny kitchens with *very* limited space.
You can easily install it with peel-and-stick adhesive and the three included screws. It also works on things as small as nail polish and water bottles!
Promising review: "I've tried a million different tools and gadgets for help opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters. There was one reviewer who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the V closest to you and with it placed in the front-right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions and it works perfectly and easily. I've already placed an order for another one as a gift for my sister." —cat lover
Get it from Amazon for $12.75.
28. A power scrubber brush to tackle the most difficult cleaning jobs with ease. Attach the brush head to a drill and prepare to blast away all the dirt and grime you've been trying to get rid of for ages. Better late than never!
Promising review: These brush attachments are absolutely FABULOUS! I was looking for ways to clean a 20-year-old shower without having to spend hundreds of dollars to replace it. I saw a homemade version online so I searched and found the Drill Brush. A drill and some cleaner later and the shower looks brand new! So easy and no muscle strain! The toughest part was waiting for the drill battery to recharge so I could continue the transformation from dingy to DANG that looks great! The different sizes get into all angles of the shower. I will never scrub by hand again! Can't wait to try it on other surfaces!!" —Carrie
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors).
29. A wine aerator and pourer that'll make pouring a glass much easier *and* more fun. Plus, the aerating chamber infuses your wine with the optimal amount of oxygen so it'll taste 10x better!
It comes with a rubber stopper that's tapered and ribbed to create a leakproof seal for wine bottles of all sizes. The acrylic pour spout is ergonomically slanted for dripless pouring *and* it quickly disassembles for easy cleaning!
Promising review: "Best wine aerator I’ve ever used! This was recommended from a friend and I can’t thank her enough. I had ones that leaked and ended up having to wrap a paper towel around it to have a good pour and not make a mess. This is not that. THIS IS AMAZING! It never leaks or drips. It is so easy to take apart and clean too. It comes in a nice storage case, which is great to keep it safe and to bring with you when you go out of town. I highly recommend this to anyone that loves wine. Even when you don’t need an aerator, I still use it because it’s fun." —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
30. Finally, a bamboo shelf with a tilt-out hamper because has anyone in the history of the world enjoyed having a hamper that sticks out like a sore thumb? This saves space by concealing it *and* gives you a couple of storage shelves, too.
It comes with a removable liner for the hamper that can be easily lifted out and wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Promising review: "Straightforward assembly and a beautiful product, I was really happy. This looks perfect in a small bathroom, and hides the unsightly laundry pile nicely. I keep makeup on top and extra toilet papers in middle, with plenty of space. The bamboo is nice and water resistant too, so deals well with humidity." —AJohns
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.
