    Promising review: "These brass cable organizers are beautiful and high quality.

    5. An LED flat plate is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you.

    Promising review: "LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It’s not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don’t have to move it up and down while reading." —Flora

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).

    Promising review: "If you're seriously grossed out and terrified by bugs, here at last is the secret weapon you NEED. You cock it, hold the business end near the bug, and push the red button. Voila, the bug is sucked into a plastic chamber in a microsecond, out of your life for all practical purposes. The bug isn't even injured, just confined, so if you're feeling tenderhearted, you can take it outdoors and release it. The bug cannot escape, even if you use the BugZooka again immediately. The second bug and subsequent bugs just join the first one, safe and secure. The BugZooka is about two feet long, so you don't even have to get close to your insect victim." —Calli

    Get it from Amazon for $43.26.

    Solo Stove

    I have a Solo Stove! It was one of the first things we got for our place after my husband and I bought our first house. We wanted to see if we'd enjoy having a fire pit in our backyard but our budget was exactly $0 for installation. We got this to see how often we'd go out by the fire and it is SUCH a hit! We also love that we can take it with us when we go camping. Don't hesitate...you want this. 

    Promising review: "As someone who has built hundreds, if not thousands, of fires – this fire pit is by far the least smoky and easiest to start!! I'm quite impressed." —Jason G.

    Get it on sale from Solo Stove for $199.99 (originally $299.99).

    13. An adjustable vase — this tiny piece of decor is so clever it should be a staple in every flower lover's home! This'll adjust its height based on the stems of your flowers, letting you show off their full bloom without pruning the flowers to death.

    Promising review: "Super cool vase that I originally saw on TikTok. It's been sold out everywhere but I managed to snag it from Amazon a few weeks ago for a friend's belated birthday gift. It arrived quickly and securely packaged. The vase is really cool, the glass portion is very sturdy, and the metal portion of the vase seems very strong. It takes a little bit of strength to raise and lower the metal portion. The brass is very light and looks closer to a brushed gold. The recipient was very happy with her gift! 10/10!" —Alexa Clark

    Get it from Amazon for $30.93.

    Casper

    This is officially my favorite splurge-worthy gift. It's the sort of thing people don't automatically know about, which make you seem *very* in-the-know. Plus, it feels like wearable luxury! I have this and I've never owned anything cozier. That's an actual fact. 

    Get it from Casper for $135.20 (originally $169, available in sizes S–L and two colors).

To set it up, plug the unit into an outlet, slip the teeny tube under your sheets, set your preferred temperature, and you'll be g2g! 

    Promising review: "First time I have ever been moved to write a review on Amazon but this is the single most amazing product if you sleep hot! This thing WORKS and it is saving my life! It only took a NASA engineer to solve my propensity to burst into to flames every night at 2 a.m.!" —Matthes

    Get it from Amazon for $489+ (available in two styles or just the bed sheets).

    17. A roll of faux ivy — attach this to wire fencing, a railing, or a trellis to add a lush look to your yard *while* providing a real amount of privacy. This is sure to be great if you love dinners outdoors but would rather not be bothered by the next door neighbors, or if you'd prefer not to find out you're sleeping in the *literal* dog house that night.

    Promising review: "This is the second privacy screen I've purchased from Amazon. I have an area in my garden visible from the street. The screen hides all my gardening stuff (i.e. wheelbarrow, buckets, etc.). It truly looks like the real deal!!!" —soooz

    "This is a candle must-have! I used to blow my candles out but sometimes I get nervous I’ll blow ember all over the place, no good. But this helps snuffing out the candles." —Jennifer Frances Castro

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99

    BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah!

    Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme

    One TikToker fills the tray with lemon and ginger for their water. 

    Promising review: "I don't usually make reviews, but I am so impressed with this that I had to! I make homemade cold brew/iced coffee every morning and go through a lot of ice. So I have been thinking about making the splurge and buying a countertop ice maker or something. I saw the video of someone using this on here and was like whoa...whaaaat. Bought it immediately. And I am the happiest of happy. The ice stays covered as it is freezing. And then you just open, flip it upside down, and push the cubes into the box at the bottom and put the lid back on! It also came with the cutest little ice tings and scoop. 100 million % recommend!" —Sarah Lackie

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99+.

    Each refrigerator is equipped with a 2.5m cigarette lighter and an adapter, so it can be plugged in at home, at the hotel, or in the car. 

    Promising review: "I wish I had bought this sooner. It fits up front, making it easy to grab a water or soda while on the road. If you want to have some steaks to grill you can keep them ready to go. Having a separate freezer option is perfect. This cooler has made camping more enjoyable by not having to get ice and end up having soggy sandwiches. It sips electricity.  It's easy to grab what you want in the dark thanks to the interior light. 

    If you are looking for a small travel cooler for road trips and light camping this is the one to get. Nothing tastes better than digging into a half pint of ice-cream while sitting by the fire in the middle of nowhere. Those that don't have one get pretty jealous." —Scott

    Get it from Amazon for $449 (available in two colors).

    26. An attachable elastic laptop accessory belt to hold all your essentials nice and snug. We're talkin' phone, pens, cables, etc.. Gone are the days of precariously balancing all your most important items on top of your laptop while scurrying from meeting to meeting!

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). 

    27. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser so you can keep your bread in an airtight container (because those plastic bags are *not* pulling their weight). Reviewers say this can keep your bread fresh far longer, and keep it smush-free!

    Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes unique household products.

    Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

    Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available in two colors). 

    28. An adjustable cake leveler that'll help with what feels like an impossible task – evenly cutting into a baked cake. If you've tried this with a knife before and ended up with nothing but crumbles, you deserve this. 

    gif of cake being sliced with tool

    If you'd like to make a checkerboard cake – you need this piece! 

    Promising review: "I was scared to work with layer cakes before because I fail miserably in leveling cakes. Ruler and knife just do not work for me! I can't do it! I decided to give this a try and, boy, I feel like I am an expert cake maker. It's so easy to use and it works perfectly. So far I have tried it on white almond sour cream cake and it has done great. I was able to do a checkerboard cake and I couldn't imagine pulling it off before. Can't wait to make more fabulous cakes! If you suck at leveling cakes, do not hesitate to get this tool! I promise you are going to love it!'' —E. Champion

    Get it from Amazon for $8.39.

    29. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass and you can grab pickles, cherries, or olives *without* the juice making a mess.

    The container flipped so the juice is only at at bottom

    Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick

    Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in two sizes and with add-ons). 

    30. An Air Fort that'll store flat (it's about the size of a sweatshirt when folded) and then inflate when your kids want to play! This genius toy is easy to pick up, easy to set up, and keeps your house free from the chaos of pillow forts.

    Promising review: "This is the best gift ever. High impact, easy to set up, so exciting for kids, but folds up SO SMALL. It’s maybe the size of a folded sweatshirt when it’s packed up? Honestly it's a parent's dream to have a fun activity that doesn’t require a ton of storage. I will keep this on my list of gift ideas for the future for other kids in my life!" —Lindsay W.

    Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in 14 styles).

    31. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher can transform the dumbest of devices into smart machines worthy of the future (as long as they have a press-able "on/off" switch). Have Alexa control these gadgets and gizmos with an app instead! Getting up to start the coffee maker is so last century.

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in white and black). 

    32. A set of soda can "lids" to transform any canned beverage into a portable bottle. Grab this little can hat and keep drinks fresh longer while making them easy to travel with!

    33. A front seat organizer designed with two extra drink holders and a catchall spot for keys, lip balm, and the like. Reviewers say this easily fits in their car, even if they didn't have any cupholders before. If you, like the rest of TikTok, need a caffeinated drink, a hydrating drink, and a *fun* drink all at the same time....you're gonna need this stat.

    Promising review: "I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it’s so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." —mammothemeerkat

    Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in various pack options, including different scents).

    35. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer because that ancient box of baking soda isn't cutting it. Rather than just absorbing bad smells, this also circulates fresh air throughout your fridge to make sure every crevice and corner smells fresh! 

    Check it out on TikTok!

    Promising review: "I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I’ve had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn’t smelled once since I’ve started using." —Amazon Customer

    37. A set of six pantry organizers so you can keep snacks on hand, keep your fridge looking crisp, and also prevent any spills or drips from making a mess. Cool.

    Promising review: "These are so helpful if your fridge is cluttered. I bought these for my mom who is an extremely cluttered person. I love her to death, but she is not an organized person. Her fridge used to look wild. There would be food piled on top of food, and small jars and containers EVERYWHERE. I bought her these to help her organize everything. Now she can see what she has and everything has a place. Thank you for making something like this to help those that are so cluttered." —MioRioZio

    38. seeding square kit for folks who would love starting a garden but have *truly* no idea how it works. This kit is basically a cheat sheet, helping you know where best to put your seeds and help remind you where they are after they're snug in the soil.

    This includes a dibbler that pushes down the dirt to the correct depth for you to drop your seeds. 

    Promising review: "Love this thing! I have been gardening for a while and this takes all of the guess work out of spacing. I used this for the first time this spring using the planting chart/guide and it has worked out perfectly. I have had little to no weeds (I mean come on, you're gonna get some weeds). Planting per the Seed Square will for the most part choke out the weeds, while promoting growth for the plants. I even used this to plant growing plants and not just seeds. Just put the square on the ground used the stick to mark the spot and dug a hole where it was marked. Simple enough. Would highly recommend. Super easy!" —Jennifer Geisel

    39. portable sparkling water maker — to use, simply add a cartridge, twist on the cap, and watch your water start sparkling! The future is now. Staying hydrated is anything but boring.

    Promising review: "Love this bottle/soda maker. I am obsessed with fizzy drinks and cannot take my bulkier at-home maker with me to work or when I travel. This maker allowed me the compact convenience of taking my fizzy drinks everywhere I go. I can control what I put in my body and always get my flavors I love. 10 out of 10 do recommend! —Zeusboomer911

    40. A bag re-sealer I'd personally buy for the looks alone (it's basically a tiny hair straightener! CUTE!) for anyone who would love the chance to reseal their snacks and keep them feelin' fresh.

    Promising review: "Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips I open daily. This sealer worked great. Heated up in, like, 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now, I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" —Stacy0814

    41. A bubble tent that'll be loved by adventurers who actually want to SEE the great outdoors when they are out. Reviewers say this is a cinch to set up (particularly easy with two people) and relatively solid in all weather (just be sure to have a pad underneath if it rains). Imagine star gazing before snoozing in this thing! DREAMY!

    Promising review: "This was easy to assemble and is likely even easier with two people. I love going out on the woods to have a camping / picnic date or party with friends. It's resistant to the wind water resistant. When the weather is cold, it's cozy and warm inside this tent. It maintains a good temperature (review image above, left)." —jimeamezcua

    42. And finally, a salt shooter — with this, you can spend all summer hunting the world's most dangerous game...the pesky housefly.

    Promising review: "This salt gun is SO MUCH FUN! I hate flies so this is the perfect solution. It's like a nerf gun but shoots salt instead. It's not too heavy to hold. However the pump is tough to pull back, which is perfect for an adult but difficult for kids. If you shoot yourself in the hands or arm, it stings a tiny bit but that's it. I Highly recommend it! Happy Hunting!" —Q. Nguyen
