Promising review: "I have been wanting to try an ice roller for a while. This one is super easy to fill/use and the ice freezes nice and smooth. It is great in the a.m. to help me wake up and helps get rid of the puffiness under my eyes!" —Michelle Marie

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I wish I'd known about this egg timer sooner. It makes my life so much easier because I don't have to set any alarms. Trust me, your house needs one of these!" —Quynh Nguyen

Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

ScratchPadforDogs is a small biz based in Atlanta.

Promising review: "My pittie struggled with getting his nails clipped after a bad grooming experience. With one use he’s already got it down and it’s made the process 100% easier." —Etsy Customer

Get it from ScratchPadforDogs on Etsy for $46.95+ (available in two styles and three grit levels).

Promising review: "So, like a dummy, I never thought about cleaning under our sectional when we purchased it. It's huge, heavy, and unmovable — and the kids like to eat nearby, so food is constantly rolling/sliding/migrating underneath and it gets disgusting. Too low-profile to vacuum; broom won't fit. Was using one of the static dusters for ceiling fans that was doing a meh job — this little thing got yuck out from under there from...*shudder* let's not talk about it. Great little tool. Fit under my washer, dryer, and fridge, too, which was an added bonus. Cleanup is easy, too." —mmj

Get it from Amazon for $16.95.

You can also wear 'em without the cascading jewels so the cloud shines all on its own — they come with extra backs just for that very purpose!

Kellan & Keira is a small business based in Seattle that makes super unique earring jackets. A bonus? Their earrings are hypoallergenic and nickel-free, made with surgical-grade stainless steel.

Promising review: "These earrings are SOO CUTE. My new favorite jewelry, I've been wearing them since they arrived. Great quality and shipped quickly. Thank you!" —Etsy Customer

Get them from KellanKeira on Etsy for $28 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "These pans are very well-made and seem very durable. They seem to conduct heat very evenly which is very important, but they also have an amazing nonstick surface that makes it a breeze to clean them. I was very impressed and I think they are well worth the money even if you only occasionally bake, because they will last a very long time." —Z

Get a set of two from Amazon for $43.99 (also available individually).

Promising review: "These are great for so many reasons. We're in a mixed gluten household (one person has celiac and is diabetic, but we are not all doing a gluten-free diet). We can portion control for carb counting and separate out gluten-free vs. not on one pan. Plus, cleanup is just throwing in the dishwasher!" —Jara Fansler

Get a set of four dividers for $19.99 (available in two colors).

The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business based in Castle Rock, Washington. They create unique, handcrafted storage solutions.

Promising review: "These Roll Keepers made it so much easier to store my T-shirts, jeans, towels, etc., leaving ample room in my closet or drawers for additional items. I only need one hanger to hang 12 to 16 items! I definitely recommend this item for those who have limited space and wish to be more organized while looking less cluttered. I will be purchasing more." —Shanette Labonte

Get it from TheRollKeeper on Etsy for $17.99 (holds 20 rolls; available in two colors).

A plastic knob sewn into the inside of this knitted elastic wristband exerts pressure and stimulates the P6, aka Neiguan, acupressure point to relieve nausea and vomiting.

Promising review: "Seabands make boating possible for me. Simple, easy to use, and reliable. I would say these are must for anyone who get motion sickness on sea or land." —Lauren

Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53.

Promising review: "I detest cleaning the bathroom. This has made my life easier. Just spray after you shower and let it sit until tomorrow. The bottom of my shower looks almost new! The only downside is that if you already have mold, it does not take care of that." —Chinese Chick

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents).

There are a number of things that bug me in this world, but one thing that consistently grinds my gears is the feeling of soaking wet, sopping sleeves after I've cleansed my face. No matter how high I roll them up, water just finds a way to trickle down towards my sleeves. I've even resorted to just wearing T-shirts to avoid the problem, but then my arms are still soaked and I still end up leaving a puddle of water behind in the bathroom. Enter: these cozy-soft cuffs. They're truly adorable, absorb allll the water, dry quickly, *and* they're machine washable! To me, they're a must-have and worth every single penny to avoid a small but totally annoying problem.

LABeautyologist is a small biz owned by beauty guru Nayamka Roberts-Smith. She's known for creating the 60-second-rule: cleansing with fingers for a minute to allow your cleanser's ingredients to get to work on your complexion.

Promising review: "Bought this for my 85-year-old mother, who has a bit of arthritis in her hands. She loves this jar opener. She commented on the ease of use and likes the fact that it can be used on smaller bottles. Made a daily task much easier for her." —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $10.99. And check out this similar bottle opener that can mount underneath your kitchen cabinets.

Team up harsh acne medication with cold winter winds and you've got the perfect formula for lizard-like dryness. AKA what I'm currently dealing with — especially around my mouth. Enter: the Lawless Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Mask, which has been saving my chapped lips for the past couple of weeks. It's cooling, it's soothing. It's thick without feeling tacky. It's hydrating without feeling sticky. And I don't have to do a darn thing except liberally apply it each night and wake up with softer, fuller, less painful-feeling lips!

*And* this is vegan and cruelty-free!

Lawless Beauty is a woman-owned beauty brand from Annie Lawless. She makes clean, nontoxic makeup and skincare that doesn't skimp on pigment or coverage.

Promising review: "As someone who is skeptical about overnight products like this, I was pleasantly shocked and surprised to see results the next morning after my first use! My lips not only felt hydrated and smooth, but definitely looked more plump (without that tingling sensation most plumping products provide, which I don't like!)" —JuliaFromPhilly

Get it from Sephora for $22 (available in four shades).

Promising review: "TubShoom makes my life easier. I shed so much hair and it has always been an issue when it comes to showering! I used to try to catch the hairs before they went to the drain, which I would later have to clean once clogged, and now I encourage and move them towards the drain and my TubShroom! It truly is amazing and the silicone material allows it to not rust like the old metal tub sink screens. It makes cleaning so much easier and I am amazed every time. It even caught my dog's hair and he has short thin hairs!!! Highly highly recommend this to every home. I'm planning on buying one for every sink in the house since they also have it for sinks as well as tubs!!!" —S.K.M

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "The best thing about the Zipuller is now you can zip up whatever you need to all on your own without relying on another set of hands. Everything from dresses to jumpsuits with zippers in the back to boots for those with mobility issues...it's a true godsend! Would recommend this product in a heartbeat! Don't settle for cheap imitations...this is the one you want and the one you need!" —DCB316

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors).

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.

Promising review: "In the 45+ yrs I’ve been washing sheets, I’ve tried everything to keep them from wadding up like a burrito. This works! I use them for my king sized bed and no more wet little bundle in the middle after drying them! The pillowcases now wind up on top instead of twisted and wet inside. It’s super easy to attach the corners of the sheet to the square. The sheets come out cleaner and there’s no need to re-dry them! I bought one for both of my daughters — always happy to make life easier for them! Now I use them for my queen sized beds as well. I enjoy washing my sheets weekly now! I highly recommend." —Leslie Burch

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack).

Promising review: "This was the best purchase ever. I had braids and took them down three months later and if I didn't have this brush to get the knots and tangles out I don't know what I would have done. I swear by this brush. It's a must have. I have type 3c coil hair if you are wondering, but I recommend it for all hair types if you deal with knots and tangles." —Monica

Get it from Amazon for $7.19+ (available in five colors).

Dress Strong is a New York–based Etsy shop run by Christina where she sells the holy grail product — the DressWeights.

The adhesive is strong but removable, so they can be used again and again!

Promising review: "These are, hands down, a complete lifesaver. I recently attended a multi-day conference event, where wardrobe malfunctions were a non-negotiable. Add in mid-Atlantic summer breezes and skirts and well, you have a potential disaster on your hands, right? NO. These babies will keep your hemlines down where they belong, and they work hard without being cumbersome — they're lightweight but dense, can easily be adjusted or moved without removing the backing, and they store in their own case — what more could a girl ask for?" —Etsy Customer

Get a set of four from Dress Strong on Etsy for $15 (also available in multipacks).

The kit comes with small, medium, large, and extra-large attachments, so you should be able to use it with any bottle in your house.

Promising review: "I use a really thick curl cream in my hair. The bottle has a pump, but you can only use it for about half of the product. I decided to use this to keep the bottle stored upside down to get more of the product out of the bottle. I was able to use the full bottle of product, was able to squeeze out the exact amount that I needed for each use, and I no longer have to beat the bottle on the palm of my hand to get the product out! This saved me time, energy, money and some sanity! If you are thinking about it, just get it!" —Cynthia Reed

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in packs of two and six).

Promising review: "This is by far the most effective way of removing the magnetic dust from your case or any dust/wax from the mesh of the AirPods. This pack will also last you quite a while, so there’s no need to be frugal with how much you’re buying. Important note: If you wait too long to clean your AirPods, the magnetic dust eventually scratches deep into the case beyond what can be cleaned off. With this product, you can catch that dust early and prevent lasting damage to your AirPod case." —Jelani Nunes

Get 12 from Amazon for $12.99.

And they come with a little carrying case!

I recently ordered these little lifesavers, and I have to say I am...forgive me Lord for I'm about to pun...HOOKED. I'm obsessed with my AirPod Pros as they are, I use them everyday for calls and music-listening purposes, but can never leave the house with them in fear of them dropping out of my ears. (If I so much as smile or laugh, they fall out!) Well fear no more, because since I've started using these super-reliable silicone hooks, I've taken my Pods on runs and walks with absolutely no sign of slippage. I highly recommend these for anyone else who'd finally like to use their AirPods Pro in peace.

Promising review: "Must have, it works. These are absolutely needed, stop my headphones from falling out, perfect fit. Will save you lots of money from replacing missing headphones." —Shevy1280

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.95 (available for both generations of AirPods Pro).

Promising review: "These have been a lifesaver while I work outside!! Comfortable. They also seem to be easily adjustable to different size ears." —Kim

Get a pair from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in four colors).

Get it from Amazon for $6.40+ (available in a variety of colors and styles).

I'll be the first to admit it, I'm a little high maintenance when it comes to my sleep. I need complete darkness and complete quiet. So when I know I'm going anywhere that doesn't believe in blackout blinds, or just regular ol' blinds for that matter, I always pack an eye mask. The only problem is, I've struggled to find one that A) doesn't move around when I sleep and B) doesn't let the bleeding light shine through. So as you can imagine, I was just *thrilled* when the Ostrichpillow 100% Blackout Eye Mask was put on my radar — I jumped at the chance to test it out. And, people, it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's super reliable with blocking 1-0-0 percent of the light, and it has an amazing ergonomic design that carves out space for your eyes so your eyelashes don't get all squished — plus, there's even enough room for you to blink, if you wanted to! It's certainly thicker than your average eye mask and sleeping on your side with it on takes some getting used to. But hey, if it stops lamp light, sunlight...whatever kinda light from disturbing my sleep, it's totally worth it. Check out my full Ostrichpillow eye mask review.

And it comes with a little travel case!

Get it from Ostrichpillow for $45 (available in four colors) or from Amazon for $45 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I just bought my first house and because of COVID I have not had the funds I wanted to fix it up. This was cheap and the backsplash in my new kitchen was an eyesore. I wasn't expecting much because of the price and I am absolutely stunned. My kitchen looks so much better! It was easy to use, no odor, and quick! I did two coats because the color was dark brown. Some places I did more but I didn't mind doing it because it was actually really satisfying. Definitely recommend this product!" —Kim

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a wider tip).

Each pack comes with four bands, which can stretch from 12 to 18 inches and hold adequate tension.

Promising review: "Say goodbye to rearranging your fitted sheet every morning! My boyfriend sleeps like he’s rolling down a hill, so every morning I would wake up to the scratchy feel of my mattress cover because my soft silk fitted sheet was all over the place. Thanks to these Bed Bands, our sheets stay put no matter what. The only way for your fitted sheet to come off is if you manually remove these first. I wish I would have bought this so much sooner." —Khalysee

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors and four pack sizes).

Promising review: "This rolling device is like pure magic. You simply roll it around your oily areas, and BOOM — the oil magically vanishes into the ball never to be seen again! This is an item that #tiktokmademebuyit for sure! I saw a video on TikTok and immediately went on the hunt only to be disappointed that this item was sold out everywhere! I eventually got added to a waiting list here on Amazon, and once they had it in stock again, they charged my card and sent it my way! If you have the chance to purchase this and you have oily skin, get yourself on the waiting list if you need to, and just kick it until it shows up. You will be pleased. Thank me later." —Veronica Cooper

Get it from Amazon for $11.80.

Promising review: "I am almost 30, and have struggled with adult acne for over 10 years. I have used every single product ever created. I see a dermatologist for prescription grade products, and STILL have acne. These little patches have FINALLY given me relief to my stubborn pimples. You can literally SEE all the junk it pulls out the pimple. I get those HUGE ones that pop up under the skin. The first night I put a patch on it, it decreased it to half the size! By the second or third night it was completely gone! I have learned the trick to fully getting everything out, is to run a hand towel under HOT water, then hold on the pimple for at least a minute to open up the pore. Then place the patch over the area, and by morning it pulls everything out!" —Shelby

Get 72 patches from Amazon $21.99.

Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business established in 2016 that specializes in hats combining fashion and function to protect against all types of weather.

Promising review: "Awesome hat, a must-have for hairdos. I get my hair done often and don’t want to destroy a great hairdo. I have been out in a rainstorm and taken it on the log ride into the splash down, hair stayed nice and dry. Love it so much I fold it up and keep it in my purse! It even has a ponytail pouch hidden in it." —applekoolaid

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." —LadyMeow

Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes or in a combo pack).

BTW, it's BPA-free, heat-resistant up to 450 degrees, and dishwasher safe.

Promising review: "The Frywall works very well and I am very pleased with it. My range top is black and you can see each little spot of grease. Before now I got really tired of cleaning my range top thoroughly each time I fried anything. You have made my life much easier. Thanks." —Laurie J. Englehardt

Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Save money by preserving your wine! I really enjoy a glass of wine some evenings, but just one glass (okay maybe two) is plenty. The problem always is that if you re-cork you might get one more day out the bottle....What if I don't want another glass the next day? By the day after that, you would be really lucky if that re-corked wine was any good. With this product, you will never toss unused wine again. The vacuum seal really works at keeping out the air and preserving your wine so it remains as fresh as when you first opened it. Another feature is that the seal works so well that if you put your bottle back on its side in a rack or wine fridge, it will not leak. I am making this product my go-to hostess gift!" —T.K. Nagy

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to get 20% off this price; available in six colors).

This also works as a noise muffler and prevents other unwelcome guests of the creepy crawly variety from wandering through your front door.

Promising review: "Sometimes you have a problem. And you see a product that says it will solve it. So you spend (in this case) a small amount of money. And 90% of the time, it doesn't solve your problem. But this product? Works exactly like it's supposed to. I'm not the least bit handy and I attached it in minutes and then stared at it for additional few minutes because I couldn't believe that was it. But it was. I got it to cover the space under the door for drafts (and vermin). It works for that purpose." —tati13

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).

This bathroom must-have doesn't require electricity or any additional plumbing, and can be temperature controlled.

Promising review: "I'll be the first to admit, I don't write reviews. This may be, literally, my first one. All I can say is this is a game-changer!! After a brief trip to Europe last year, my wife had been pushing for us to get one. Well, fast forward to the 2020 pandemic, no TP anywhere...it was time to buy the Tushy. I was hesitant, I'm not gonna lie. But then, it was as if I had been missing out on living for the past 32 years. You think I'm lying, I'm not. I've never felt cleaner. Buy this and you will thank me later." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in three styles).

Promising review: "Baths have changed for me forever now! I can actually FILL THE TUB and not hear that dreaded sound of half my water (and my expensive magnesium flakes, essential oils, organic bubble baths, and other fancy therapeutic ingredients) tragically vanishing down the drain. If you're a larger person trying to fit in a smaller tub you know...THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Now I can take more baths and enjoy more warm coziness. All because of this little bit of silicone!" —anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors).

The insert has a tapered base that goes from 3.2–2.6 inches so it fits in most standard cup holders. It's suitable for cups and bottles 32–40 ounces.

Promising review: "The console cup holders in the Chevy Colorado are ridiculously small. Good for a 12-oz paper cup and that's it. There is a thick rubbery liner within the cupholder area, and this Smart Kup slides in and grips nicely. Also, it goes in deep enough to be stable. With a full 40-oz insulated Hydro Flask in it, the holder doesn't move or tip over or pop out of the cup holder hole during sharp turns. The cup also keeps the Hydro Flask from falling out of the cup, because it sits deep enough." —Bartimus Max

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in two colors).

It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be raring to go!

Promising review: "For many years, I have been that friend that always says 'no thanks, I can't drink wine.' Even one small small glass would give me the worst migraine. So I gave up. Several weeks ago, I happened across an ad for Drop It and thought I might as well give it a shot. I took a big risk the day it arrived and had two huge glasses of red wine that I knew would give me a massive migraine the next day. It just so happened I had a midterm that next morning too — so the stakes were high. I woke up feeling fantastic. Since then I have repeated the experiment (to make sure it wasn't a fluke) and found that no matter how much wine I drink, as long as I use the drops, I don't have a migraine the next day. I'm so pleased to have found something that makes wine drinking possible and enjoyable again! I have nothing but great things to say about the product. It's easy to use and very discreet. I visited some friends last week and we spent a few hours at a wine bar. It was easy to add my drops. I took a small taste of the wine before adding the drops and found that it did not alter the taste at all. Thanks for a great product and a great buying experience. I will be back for more." —Mackenzie
