1. An Echo Show 5 because your parents aren't around to tell you the weather so you know how to dress for the day. This handy gadget can stream your favorite music and shows, tell you the news, video call family and friends, get you emergency assistance, and more.
Promising review: "The Echo Show 5 is a game-changer for any household. Its upgraded sound system, boasting 2x the bass, turns every song into a mini concert. But it's not just about music – this smart display is like having a helpful sidekick around the house. Perfect for forgetful folks like me, it keeps track of tasks and reminders with ease. Plus, being able to control other devices around the house with just my voice? It's like living in the future. Whether I'm dancing to my favorite tunes or getting things done around the house, the Echo Show 5 adds a whole new level of convenience and enjoyment to my daily routine." —Alex

2. A pack of four cactus-shaped dryer balls to help make sure your clothes and bedsheets dry evenly and completely. Plus, they're reusable and just so darn cute!
Promising review: "These are the only dryer balls I've found that actually made me not need fabric softener sheets. It cuts down on static and I don't find pet fur clinging to my clothes when I pull them out of the dryer." —Tianhui Fan
Get them from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six styles and in larger pack sizes).
3. And a set of bed sheet detanglers from Shark Tank so you can stop spending hours in the jungle of your laundry trying to not get devoured by fitted sheets. These will also ensure your sheets actually dry instead of coming out like a moist hairball.
Wad-Free is a woman-owned small business working to make sure your laundry day isn't in vain! After wasting time and energy on wadding problems, Cyndi Bray invented Wad-Free for bedsheets.
Promising reviews: "It's a miracle product! Oh my gosh, I only had to run the dryer one time to dry the sheets instead of my usual four times. They looked cleaner, too!" —Bonnie
"I was mildly skeptical, but it works exactly as promoted! I've used it five times, and each time, there's been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases balled up and still wet when the dryer goes off. Super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the fitted sheet, so I don't have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these as gifts. LOVE it!" —Amazon Customer
4. An all-in-one multi-blade chopping device that'll dice, spiralize, and grate veggies to your heart's content. Stop wasting time (and tears) chopping onions by hand.
Promising review: "I actually got this because my mom bought it and loved it. She has pretty severe arthritis, and this little contraption makes food prep a breeze for her, so I decided to try it. Well, holy cow! It does everything it says it's going to do! it's really easy to use. It's super helpful, really convenient, very easy to clean up, and stores pretty compactly (but honestly, it's already just living on our counter). Worth every penny!" —A. Hendrix
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
5. Shower curtain rings with separate hangers for your curtain and liner that will make taking them down and switching them out so much faster and easier.
Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn’t know you needed, and once you get it, you can’t help but wonder how you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for multiple shower curtains. I know you’re like, ‘It’s just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." —Nardsbaby
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 11 colors).
6. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because you haven't properly cleaned your shower in, well, ever. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
Promising review: “I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, I don't remember which one) and thought, 'What the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. On day two, I sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. On day three, I sprayed the remaining spots, and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that.” —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $19.56+ (available in two sizes, scents, and in a pack of two).
7. A toilet tank cleaner with a citric acid formula to remove hard water deposits and other stains in your toilet tank without any elbow grease needed. Get rid of stubborn odors with this safe-on-pipes cleaner.
Promising review: "Wow! First of all, I was shocked when I noticed that my toilet tank was so filthy. I never looked in there, but there was a reason that my toilet bowl needed to be scrubbed every day. The tank was so nasty I couldn't even see the bottom. I really didn't want to drain the water and scrub the tank, then I saw this. I honestly didn't expect that it would actually work since my tank was so nasty. I dumped this little miracle product in the tank and left it overnight, and the next morning, I saw a much cleaner tank. I can actually see in there now. No draining or scrubbing. Amazing stuff!" —Linda Baker
Get it from Amazon for $7.40.
8. And a Scrubbing Bubbles cleaning stamp since rings have been forming around the inside of your toilet. This will keep your toilet bowl fresh and clean with every flush. Just plop some gel inside the bowl and let it work so you don't have to.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these things! I have five kiddos. These gel stamps keep my toilet cleaner and fresher-smelling for longer, which is a definite plus with four boys. These have an easy, no-mess application. I finally just put them on my Subscribe & Save so I always have them ready." —Alyssa M
Get six stamps from Amazon for $5.99.
9. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.
Promising review: "I love this garbage disposal cleaner. It's so easy to just pop the bag into the disposer with a little bit of water and know that the garbage disposal is clean. No more having to run a lemon down there or scrub the sides. It's all done for you." —MrBigTCat
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.
10. A sleek shower caddy shelf for keeping your shower essentials organized in a way that doesn't remind you of your college dorm.
It also comes with hooks for hanging smaller items!
Promising review: "This is one of those 'TikTok made me buy it' items. I had been in the market for a while now for a new shower caddy and hadn't found any I like. Saw this on TikTok and after researching, decided to give it a try. It does not disappoint. I like that it's not hanging from the showerhead. The shelves hold more than your standard shower caddy. And the adhesion is very strong. I also like that I can order replacement adhesion strips if, for some reason, I need to take the shelves down." —Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors).
11. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner. This paste has got you covered from your caked-on stove top to your dirty rain boots.
Promising reviews: "I have never seen my sink so clean! It removed the limescale with a regular wash cloth and a little scrubbing." —Cndrla
"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top, and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
12. A pack of K-Cup cleaners if you haven't cleaned your machine in awhile and your coffee hasn't been tasting quite like coffee lately. Pop one of these nontoxic cups into your Keurig to give it the deep clean it's been needing.
Promising review: “I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old, and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend. Keeps everything running correctly and clean.” —Lauren
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95.
13. A pack of 100+ light-dimming sheets so your digital alarm clock doesn't keep you up with its glaring numbers. Oh the irony. These magical stickers dim 50–80% of light.
Promising review: "These are simply awesome! Such a small thing can make such a big difference. At night, when I opened my eyes, I was flooded by little dots of light intruding my space from all my electronics: the TV and cable receiver, the modem, the routers, the electric blanket control switch, the microwave, the smoke alarms, cell phones, etc. And it doesn’t take much to interfere with a good night's sleep. These will mute and soften those bright lights so they don’t bother you anymore. Thanks for a great 'little size, big results' product!" —Ziapetlady
Get it from Amazon for $4.49.
14. A stainless-steel TubShroom, famous for preventing massive hunks of hair and grime from growing and gaining sentience in our drains.
I went through a few drain protectors before I finally succumbed to the power that is the stainless steel TubShroom. It's durable and works really well. It just does its job! And we love to see it!
Promising review: "This is my second one, and I will keep buying these for my tubs and sinks as needed. They catch much more hair than one might think, and have prevented drain clogs in my house for years! HIGHLY recommended!" —Mr86GT
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
15. A smart temperature sensor because your (annoying) landlord— who controls the heat and AC— requires picture proof of the temperature and humidity in your apartment before they make any changes.
"If you, like me, live in a building where tenants can't control their heat — sidenote, how is this even legal? — this is essential a device that tracks the temperature. Texting your landlord a simple 'Hey, it's cold in here!' is probably not going to do much to solve your problem. But this sensor is proof that your apartment is the undesirable temperature you say it is, and it'll record the temperature history. This will realllllly come in handy in the event of a dispute." —rossyoder
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
16. A set of six colorful Cuisinart knives sharp enough to cube cheese and slice salami for your housewarming charcuterie board. These stainless steel knives have a color-coded non-stick ceramic coating so you can avoid chopping veggies with the same knife you prepared raw chicken with.
Promising review: "The look, the colors, and oh man, the blades! They are like razors, but work excellently in the kitchen. The colors are great for glancing and finding exactly the knife you need for a specific job. They clean easily and seem to be keeping their sharp edges." —Darsen
Get it from Amazon for $22.47+ (available in three color combinations).
17. A pet hair remover so you'll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that's been plaguing your home this shedding season. And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...
Promising review: "I have a long-haired cat, and when spring hits, there is a ton of hair left on my rug and couch for a couple of months. I tried sticky strips, but they did not do a great job. I ordered this tool and was blown away by how great it worked. It not only picked up the hair and stored it, but it also kept on working until all the hair was gone off my couch. I love it, and I am very pleased with [how easy it is] to clean it up and throw the hair away. I give this a 5-star rating." —gcommon
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors).
18. A washing machine cleaning gel that you just let sit for a few hours and then wipe away. Because the hazardous mold that's been growing inside your washing machine is starting to build its own city. You'll wanna use this to clean your gasket! So go ahead and add your washing machine to your spring cleaning to-do list.
Promising review: "Very satisfied. I tried everything to remove the black mold with no success. This product actually worked to remove the black mold. I applied the gel to the mold and left it to sit overnight. I was amazed the mold wiped off with a rag." —Robin S. Johns
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
19. A pack of four duster sponges you simply dampen, and then you're ready to clean! It's that easy. Watch as it catches and removes dust, debris, hair, and stains around your home.
Promising review: "I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm, soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box, and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!" —Bryn
Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color combinations and three pack sizes).
20. A toilet paper holder and storage rack so you're not stuck stacking toilet paper on the floor. You're a big kid now.
Promising review: "Exceeded my expectations. It is VERY sturdy and well-made. A bonus is that it's attractive. It fits the jumbo rolls in the dispenser and storage areas. I love it when the product description doesn't mislead. You can buy this with confidence." —BeeJaae
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three finishes).
21. A pack of 30 nonslip velvet hangers that'll take up less space in your closet, which means you'll be able to hang more in there. And with swivel hooks, you'll spend less time fighting your clothes and more time buying new ones.
22. And keep those hangers extra tidy with a closet organizer you can use to hang clothes vertically, creating even more closet space!
Promising review: "Ok, I know it's dramatic to say I'm crying tears of joy, but I cannot say enough about how these hangers have transformed my tiny, odd-shaped closet. I was so desperate for more space, I was considering spending big bucks to have a professional come in and redesign the space. Then I found these and it's like my hanging space quadrupled! It feels downright luxurious in my closet now. I can see all my clothes and nothing is squished together like it used to be. I can also comfortably add a substantial amount of clothing and would still have room to grow. BUY THESE IMMEDIATELY!" —milanina77
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors and four pack sizes).
23. A 10-in-1 Instant Pot because sometimes it's nice to let a machine do all the work. You'll have rice, stew, pasta, and more without ever breaking a sweat.
It's a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, sous vide, yogurt maker, sterilizer, cake baker, and food warmer all in one! Read our full review of the Instant Pot!
Promising review: "This product is my best friend and I would marry it and grow old with it if I could. I’ve put pork loins, potatoes, boxed yellow bundt cake, rice, and corn on the cob (look up INSTANT POT MILK CORN ON COB and you will never eat it any other way again!!!). I’ve made pierogis, lasagna, apple dump cake, a whole chicken, bone broth, chicken noodle soup, and more! This is all in less than a month. I’m eating healthier and eating out less. Cleanup is easy, and the food tastes awesome." —sugabuga
Get it from Amazon for $119.95+ (available in two sizes).
24. A fume-free oven cleaner so powerful you might just convince yourself you replaced your oven altogether. This heavy-duty cleaner can remove grime, stains, and caked-on food!
Promising review: "I am amazed at this stuff. I've lived in my house for three years, and I have never cleaned my oven. I doubt the previous owners ever did, either. It was a blackened, grody mess. I sprayed a heavy coat of this stuff all over the inside and let it sit for a while. Then I got to scraping and wiping. I couldn't believe how much rock-hard soot came off. I gave some stubborn spots a second coat and eventually had the entire thing looking new. It's a miracle spray." —GinHum
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
25. A WD-40 pen — a multi-use lubricant in a convenient pen form! This works great at stopping squeaks, protecting against corrosion, loosening rust, and removing grime!
Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and in the house toolbox." —BBP623
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
26. A Simple Human drying rack that has a hanging rack for your wine glasses and a drip tray for your non-wineglasses. This durable and spacious drying rack is made of stainless steel, so it won't rust on you.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this dish rack. It fits so many dishes in it, including a huge cookie sheet, and it drains well. It’s a beast. Sometimes I use the wine rack to hang dish towels or silicon place mats out to dry. Couldn’t be happier with it." —Cat Lover
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two colors and sizes).
27. An electric fabric shaver to rescue furniture from pills, fuzz, and matted fibers. Get your couch (and clothes) back to just-bought-it condition!
The battery-operated style requires two AA batteries (not included).
Promising review: "I used this device to get the gross, clingy lint off my couch that we thought we were doomed with!! I couldn’t believe how easy it was to use. It's easy to clean and disassemble/reassemble and effective! Literally made my couch look brand new again." —Becky Bullock
Get it from Amazon for $13.30+ (available in three colors and two styles).
28. A cutlery organizer with stacked compartments for each set of utensils. Now you can easily reach for and grab a butter knife instead of having to search through a cluttered drawer.
Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons, etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro
Get it from Amazon for $9.08.
29. A 4-in-1 Ninja air fryer so you can have fried food without all the fuss — aka no oil needed to make fries. From Brussels sprouts to chicken wings, get evenly cooked and perfectly crisp meals every time!

No need to go out and rent a cumbersome contraption when you've got this compact bad boy at home. It's got powerful spray and suction, so those stubborn pet messes will be gone in mere moments. Deep clean made easy!
Promising review: "Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers' couches, and [there's a] difference. It could use one more go to get to the 'looking like brand new,' but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description, there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn't believe it would work that well. Well, it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner, get it; you will not be disappointed." —edina bajraktarevic
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
31. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers because you've got six open boxes of rotini taking up way too much space in your pantry. Trust me, there's an easier (and more streamlined) way.
Promising review: "I ordered this set to continue on the road to an organized pantry. There are enough containers and enough variety of sizes to make me happy. I have stored pastas and noodles, dried beans, rice, sugar, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, etc. When I open a box of something, I put whatever is unused into one of the containers and feel very secure that the contents will be fresh and protected from any possible insect problems." —R M
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three colors).
32. A pack of Bottle Bright cleaning tablets to take care of the tough stains and persistent odors living in your coffee pots and mugs. The best part is there's no scrubbing involved. So you get super clean gear with minimal effort!
Promising review: "My tea mug was horrible: 'stainless' steel that was totally brown from tea. It's now shiny and silver again. I used it on my coffee mug and my gym water bottle as well, and they're all like new! Highly recommend, and it works super fast. No scent during or after use." —afK2
Get 12 tablets from Amazon for $7.99.
33. An abstract shower curtain that'll make guests jealous of how ~hip~ you are. The kids are still saying "hip," right? Featuring fun shapes and colors, this waterproof and quick-drying shower curtain will give your bathroom that "out of a magazine" look.
Promising review: "Super cute — perfect for my bathroom. I wanted a shower curtain that wouldn't get dirty as easily as I live in a house where everything gets dirty very quickly and it has stayed clean the few months I have had it even after a wash. Super great curtain!" —christina
Get it from Amazon for $13.88.
34. And a similarly styled boho-inspired bath mat so fluffy, you might just think you're standing on a very absorbent cloud.
35. A dishwasher magnet because reaching in for a clean spoon and pulling out one still covered in peanut butter is not ideal.
Promising review: "Up until finding this gem, I was using a handwritten piece of paper that read 'CLEAN' on it and stuck it on the door of my dishwasher. This magnetic sliding sign is great! It works on my stainless dishwasher without the adhesion tabs that come with it. The words 'DIRTY' and 'CLEAN' are large and readable from a distance." —noreen
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six colors).
36. A 60-piece tool set with everything from a power drill and bits, to a level and tape measure so you can do all the household projects that'll make your apartment feel like a home.

This pot comes with a matching lid, roasting rack, and a beechwood turner. Plus, it's oven-safe up to 400 degrees F.
Promising reviews: "I bought this to use for making fudge. It's the perfect size and bonus: NO RIVETS! I hate the rivets inside a pot or pan that are impossible to clean. I will only be using this one for my fudge-making, but I love it so much that in the future, I will buy at least one more for everyday cooking. Just be aware that because the handles are a part of the pot and not riveted on, they get very hot. Use potholders to remove from burner." —Shy Frazier
"Wonderful pot. Heats uniformly, and cleanup is an absolute breeze!" —Halling Family
Get it from our Goodful shop for $49.99 (available in seven colors).
38. A devilish digital thermometer so you don't accidentally serve yourself chicken that's undercooked instead of HELL done...get it? This instant and easy-to-read thermometer will help ensure anything you cook in the fiery pit that is your oven comes out exactly when it's supposed to.
Promising review: "This thermometer not only works perfectly but is a great conversation starter at gatherings! I've used it a few times and am completely satisfied with the purchase. It is accurate, and the display is super easy to read. If you buy this, make sure to read the back of the box ;)." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.

Its simple controls make it very easy to use, and the adjustable temperature settings cater to different fabrics, ensuring that your clothes are treated with the care they deserve. My favorite thing about the product is that it can be used on the go, making ironing quick and convenient anywhere. This is my new go-to for traveling. I highly recommend this product to anyone who values convenience, ease of use, and portability." —John F. Kemmerer

Promising review: "This broom holder is super handy! It stores my kitchen broom, Swiffer wet mop, and a few other long, awkward cleaning tools neatly and all together. The installation was a breeze and very detailed. I watched the video first, and it’s absolutely foolproof. I’m going to buy another rack for the garage!" —Avid Quilter
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available in four colors).
41. A durable shirt folding board that'll have your shirts, pants, towels, and more neatly folded and tucked away in a matter of seconds!
Promising review: "This has saved me a lot of time folding and has completely changed the way I organize my dressers. If you think this is a waste of money, I would say you aren't using it correctly because I wouldn't go back to folding everything the way I used to. This is simple and quick, and you cannot go wrong with that!" —Mike Reed
