Promising review: "Do you ever remove the rubber cap between your sink and disposal? It is beyond gross! This is shaped just right and makes quick work of a yucky job. Good to do to keep odors away." —Mom328LSA

Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in a bundle with a cleaning kit).

Promising review: "I have a large window in my bathroom, and you can see in from the backyard; not very private. I like the light, but I needed privacy; sheer curtains were not enough. This product is very easy to install, and I love the rainbows. This is the cheapest rainbow window cling I could find, and it exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be doing more windows." —Ashley Barnes

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 22 sizes and 10 colors/styles).

The Magnetack is a small biz based in Miami that sells magnetic pushpin photo and poster holders.

Promising review: "Absolutely perfect. It holds a whole stick of butter and the butter stays in place — unlike some of the other products on the market that are supposed to serve the same purpose." —Michelle

Get it from The Magnetack on Etsy for $14.95. 

Promising review: "Best snot sucker EVER! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our NoseFrida. Yeah, yeah, it's gross sucking your kid's snot, but you know what's worse? A sick, miserable baby. Our pediatrician even recommended the Frida over those little blue bulbs. I can suck more junk out, and it's so much easier to clean and sanitize. There is NO WAY any boogies can get back into your mouth when you use this product. The gross factor is just all in your head. If you have a kid, order this! If you know someone with a kid, order this!" —Chelsea S.

Get one nasal aspirator and four hygiene filters from Amazon for $14.97 (also available in a filter bundle and saline kit).

Promising review: "If you're like me and living in a space that doesn't have a ton of room, let alone space for a big old ironing board, this is the perfect solution. This mat easily sticks to the top of the dryer with the magnets. It's a great space-saving solution. If you're looking to minimize, this is what you want!" —JD

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Before I knew a thing like this existed, I spent the time it took to wash my squirming kiddo's hands one at a time, wondering how long it was going to take for his arms to grow enough to reach the faucet. I'm so glad I have this thing now! The setup is just taking it out of the box and stretching the rubber part around the faucet; it took two seconds, plus some time to adjust to the best angle. Now, I can wash my 15-month-old's hands at the same time, and the whole process is much faster and easier. He liked it right away, too!" —Michelle G 

Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I am not kidding you. This is my first Amazon review ever. Just a few weeks ago, my nails were brittle and peeling. I always had my nails done, and they were pretty much destroyed… Then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try, and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you’re thinking about buying this… Buy it!" —Jocelyn Nackley

Get it from Amazon for $10.80+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, you name it. I tried everything except sending it away to get cleaned. I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik, and it's just as shiny as when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many, many years ago. I will definitely use this on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in two sizes, multi-packs, and a bundle with a cleaning cloth).

Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess, and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and dispense a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze them. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one, but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." —Kimberly C

Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.45+ (available in two styles, multiple colors, and larger quantities).

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 the house toolbox." —BBP623

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.49.

Promising review: "If you hate listening to your pet's tags clink and jingle, save yourself the pain, and just order this tag silencer. You will love it. My husband loathes the sound of clicking dog tags and would perpetually take our dog's collar off. This tag silencer has solved that issue. We keep three tags on our dog's collar: an ID tag with contact info, a rabies tag, and a city license tag. All three fit with no issue and no jingle. There is definitely room for more tags. It is easy to attach to the collar, and once it's on, you don't have to mess with it again (unless you add or remove tags, obviously). This was the second one we purchased for our dog. The first one lasted roughly 2.5 years on a growing puppy. Our dog is pretty active, so it survived lake swimming, hiking, rough play with other dogs, etc. It also survived hot summers and cold winters, but our dog prefers winters spent under a blanket next to the heater vent. We have recommended it to family and friends, and they all love it. I also work in a veterinary office and recommend it to clients who complain about the clinking of tags." —Work hard, play hard.

Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I get corns on the bottom of my foot. This has been going on for 30 years. I’ve tried all the pads sold in drug stores. None of those are anywhere as good as this brand. They stick to the skin very well, and the medication really works on the corns and the thickened skin around them. Well worth it." —Al Symbal

Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two varieties and packs of 60).

For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, for a total of 15 grams in the entire set. So, even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal! 

Promising review: "An alternative to the Laneige lip mask. This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it’s soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya

Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in five scent combinations).

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful, charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on the ground. But after many years and a couple of dogs, now my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." —Renee

Cup Claw is a family-owned small biz that sells this genius fashion tool! 

Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense frustration trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective, and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place, I highly recommend this." —Wesley I.

This spray is safe to be used daily and won't leave behind any residue.

Promising review: "Great spray! You get a lot of product for the price, and it’s an alternative to the Tower 28 spray. I’ve been using it consistently for a week now, and I have noticed improvements in my skin: the blemishes I had before are gone, and I don’t see any new ones forming. Great to use during the summer if you sweat a lot. You can refresh your face throughout the day if needed to get rid of any extra bacteria from sweating." —Dogmom99

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me... Anyone can." —Tina

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.50 (also available in a pack of two).

Promising review: "Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable to three settings, and I use it on the lowest setting, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in seven colors).

Promising reviews: "I usually use Dr. Bronner's, but I wanted to give this a try after seeing it on TikTok. I actually like this better and feel really clean after using it. Love the fresh smell." —KJeanie ATL

Little Elf is a small biz that sells gift-wrapping accessories.

Promising review: "I was so excited to try this, and it actually works! I am terrible at cutting straight, and this product was incredible. It cut straight across a long roll in no time." —TOOdamnFRANK

Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser, and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like, I never applied anything to them. I am still amazed and in shock by this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy

Promising review: "I just love it. It lights up a lot of area, not just the keyhole. Very bright light. I use it sometimes just to light my path when I walk in my house because the pathway is a bit dark." —Miami Girl

Get it from Amazon for $5.26 (also available in a pack of two).

It even includes a test patch, so you can make sure the tape doesn't irritate your skin before wearing it. The tape is designed with a strong hold, so removal will require saturating the tape in oil before slowly and gently peeling it off!

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy, and they were too far down; one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic only a week before the wedding, I turned to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y'all... This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice, literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs, AND they looked amazing. I'm a D-cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90-degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." —MelBee

Promising review: "I love this dishwasher netting. It’s perfect for all my plastic containers that would otherwise flip over and fill up with dirty dishwater. It’s very flexible and can stretch in all directions, and has convenient hooks to hold the netting in place. Very happy with my purchase." —JB

The brand says the fish will continuously clean for about 30 days, so it's recommended to change it every month! 

Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier, and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew- and mold-free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine

Get it from Amazon for $5.98 (also available in a pack of two).

Promising review: "This thing is seriously amazing. I figured out how to use it very quickly, and it worked like a charm. I had a sock stuck wayyy down in my vent and would've had no idea! I still can't believe how much lint and dust came out of my dryer. My husband is already talking about other uses for this unique tool, like getting into tight spaces in our cars." —J. Price

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors).

Ever Toast is a small business that specializes in unique dinner plates.

When using the Thaw Claw, the cold water needs to be changed every 30 minutes. This works best for smaller meat packages and requires cooking immediately. Read more about food safety and cold water thawing at the USDA. 

Promising review: "A package of frozen meat would have taken at least two days to thaw in the fridge. I used this for a 2-pound package a couple of days ago, and the meat was thawed within 90 minutes. One of the most practical kitchen gadgets I own." —Llda Schellhase

Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use.

Promising review: "This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." —Dawn
