This Ear Spray Cleared My Swimmer’s Ears
I would swim more often if it weren’t for the infamous swimmer’s ear. I hate getting clogged ears after diving or swimming in a pool. This Waterproofing Ear Spray has been a lifesaver! I just spray it on my ears 1-2 times before engaging in any water activities so it coats the ear canal with a water repellent layer. If you love swimming like me, I suggest committing to the duo pack so you always have it handy.

You can always add another fun plushie to your collection. This huggable swole doge meme shiba inu is the perfect new addition to anyone’s super-sized stuffie selection.

This Lower Back Stretcher Saved My Back
My back was so sore during my pregnancy that I was miserable throughout the entirety of my third trimester. This Lower Back Pain Relief Treatment Stretcher was the only thing that helped, and now that I’m not pregnant I still use it whenever my back could use a good stretch. Sure, it looks scary, but it feels SO good (and trust me, your back needs some love).
Give Your Kid Support With These Knee Socks
Your little girl is going to be obsessed with these knee socks as soon as she puts them on. Much like the other socks listed, they have non-slip grips on the bottom to give them extra support. They’re also super soft and breathable, so they can wear them year-round.

These Slide-Out Baskets Make the Most of Cabinet Space
I’ve seen a lot of plastic shelves designed for cabinets, but I’m excited about the possibilities of these Slide-Out Baskets. The design makes it easier to see and access the contents, and customers report that they are easy to assemble. I’ve definitely tried using baskets before, but I end up frustrated having to rummage around with half my body in the cabinet. The slide out feature on these bad boys is a life saver.
The Best Phone Mount for the Dashboard
At this point in history it’s basically a necessity to have a way to display your phone while driving. How else are you going to know where you’re going? Alas, the mounts that clip to your air vents aren’t always the most stable, but this version that sticks to your dashboard? It’s not going anywhere. It’s also compatible with nearly any type of phone — no matter whether you use an Android or iPhone.
This Cutlery Organizer Will Help You Make Optimize Drawer Space
I have a fairly small kitchen–which includes small drawers. Last year I spent months figuring out ways to organize my kitchen and maximize the space. One of my favorite finds was this cutlery organizer. Its unique design creates more space in your drawer so you can fit more. One Amazon user said, “My drawer was a mess despite having a generic cutlery holder with ample space–it just took up too much room. This tidy little organizer not only fit all my many many cutlery, but it freed up half my drawer space so that I could fit all of my kitchen utensils that I had in a large pot on the kitchen counter. Highly recommend.”
This Thick Mattress Topper Will Guarantee You a Better Night’s Sleep
Has the idea of buying a new mattress crossed your mind in the past 12 months? There are so many options out there now that it’s hard to know which one to pick. Maybe you’d rather just add an upgrade to your existing mattress with this plush pillow-top mattress cover. It adds a soft pillow-like layer to the mattress you already have and is a worthy investment for $40 instead of taking the plunge for a whole new mattress set.
Fix Nicks With This Slobproof Paint Pen
Moving furniture, playing with the kids, and hanging decorations all have one unfortunate thing in common – paint scratches! This touch-up paint pen dips right into your paint bucket, fills up with any paint, and lets you apply paint in small amounts with precision. It even keeps the paint inside fresh for up to seven years! I got the 5-pack because I have colorful walls in my house.
Keep Your Bag Within Arms Reach With This Car Purse Holder
I can’t even count how many times my purse has spilled all over my car because I had to brake quickly or I took a sharp turn (I’m a good driver, I swear). Not to mention all of the times that I needed to grab my wallet and my purse fell just out of arm’s reach. This car purse holder allows you to hold your purse, laptop, snacks, etc. all close by to the driver’s seat, keeping you safer and all your stuff more organized.
Lengthen Lashes and Remove Clumpy Mascara With This Eyelash Comb
Ever try using one of those plastic eyelash combs? Ugh — clump city. Upgrade to this stainless steel one instead. The tines gently separate your lashes to get rid of clumps, and it even comes with a cover to keep them clean when not in use. You’ll have lashes so luxurious they’ll look like falsies (but without all the glue).
This Headrest Fan Keep Passengers in the Backseat Cool as Cucumbers
It seems even when I put the AC on in the backseat, it’s still stiflingly hot back there for my sweaty kids and panting dog. This headrest fan will definitely help circulate air and keep everyone more comfortable. The fan heads also swivel, so there’s no fighting over who gets the breeze since it’ll reach every corner of the rear of the car. The kids might still fight about everything else, but not this.
This Pillow Feels Like a Giant Marshmallow
Say hello to the fluffiest, dreamiest pillows. Drift into a blissful night’s rest or afternoon snooze and awaken feeling refreshed, without the neck ache. Amazon’s choice, this product is everyone’s favorite for a reason. As someone who has gone through quite a lot of pillows trying to find one that gives me the right support, trust me when I say that the proper pillow makes a world of difference.
This Compact Power Strip Looks Great and is Functional
I’m not a fan of the bulky, beige power strips that are necessary but hideous. So instead, I have a couple of these Compact Power Strips, which not only provide plenty of charging options but also look great on my desk and nightstand. They’re also conveniently sized for travel!
A Skin Tag Remover You Can Use at Home

This scary-looking contraption works by eliminating the blood supply feeding skin tags on the face, neck, or wherever. It’s actually super easy to use and not scary at all.
A Genius Weathertech Dupe Without a Hefty Price Tag
Can’t get WeatherTech floor mats off your mind but you don’t want to spend WeatherTech money? I got you. These all-weather rubber floor mats from Motor Trend come in multiple colors, have a deep recess for catching dirt and grime, and can be trimmed to fit just about any vehicle. One reviewer said: “I am happy with this (much more affordable) solution because it was either these mats or some very expensive WeatherTech brand custom mats (those were $180). Easy choice for me!”

They attach easily to your wall to make it look like stacks of books are floating in mid-air. It’s the perfect aesthetic for someone who has a bit of literary flair.
Photoshopped Finished Look With the Stila Color Correcting Serum
Instantly recognizable with its trademark triple swirl tube, this all-in-one skin savior from Stila uses color-correcting pigments to work magic on blotchy skin tones.

This calf stretcher is a favorite among Amazon reviewers (over 7,000 of them and counting) for good reason. It’ll give you an incredible calf stretch whether you’re a runner or have plantar fasciitis or any other injury that could benefit from stretching. It couldn’t be easier to use and delivers such a deep stretch people immediately feel better upon using it.

Definitely not a splurge – this security device is an investment in you and your safety.
These Car Coasters Keep Cup Holders Clean
One of my biggest pet peeves is the amount of dirt and debris that gets stuck in my car’s cupholders. Since I found these car coasters, I haven’t looked back! They’ll absorb excess moisture from your iced coffee and just pop out when you need to wipe them down. I was afraid to even look in those cupholders for a while, but now my car is actually clean.
Don’t Drop a Fortune On Wireless Earbuds, Get These Instead
I have a remarkable ability to lose headphones. Last week I bought a new pair of earbuds and lost one of them within 24 hours. While these optimized wireless Bluetooth earbuds are ideal for your tool belt, they come with their own carrying case and charging port — so don’t worry about losing them if you’re as absent minded as I am. These earbuds stay charged for up to 48 hours of music, podcast, or audiobook listening. Keep these by your side and you won’t miss a beat.
These Dissolving Microneedle Eye Patches Transform Your Bags
Normally, the words “needle” and “eye” wouldn’t belong in the same sentence, but these dissolving microneedle eye patches went there and I honestly love it. In fact, the package says to wear them to bed and “wake up glowing.” These patches from Skyn Iceland have me intrigued, and the reviews confirm that they’re amazing. Excuse me while I just go add them to my cart.
Improve Your Social Media Game With This Selfie Stylus
If you take a lot of selfies (and who among us doesn’t?), this tech gadget is worth a try! The Selfie Stylus attaches to the back of your phone with the included magnetic strip. When it’s time to take a photo, use the stylus as a remote shutter. Then use the fine point of the stylus to edit or write on images before posting or sending to friends.
This Super Sonic Scrubber Cleans the Toughest Spots in Kitchen and Bathroom
Less elbow grease, more technology! That’s the idea behind the popular Super Sonic Scrubber, which uses two AA batteries (not included) to power the interchangeable scrubbing heads. All you have to do is stick it in the right place and let it work its magic. Which is how I think all cleaning should be.
Labels Make Life So Much Better
Labels are bad, m’kay? But, we’re not talking about those types of labels. We’re talking about honest-to-goodness labels and I’m not lying when I say this label maker is all that and a bag of chips. It syncs easily with your existing smartphone, so no clunky keyboard to try to type on. The labels print quickly and last forever; I’ve had my label maker for months and I’m still on the first roll.
Scoop Up Every Inch of Dust in Your Car With This Cleaning Gel
I find myself cleaning my car a lot … at red lights and in parking lots. No kidding. And, I figure, if I’m going to clean, it might as well be fun. This cleaning gel will remind you a lot of that slime stuff your kids can’t stop making, but in a more — ahem — grown-up form. Dab at your dashboard, vents and door handles, among other things, to remove even the tiniest specks of dust.
Use This Cozy Fleece Blanket as a Couch Throw or as Additional Bedding
I adore the look and feel of this cozy fleece microfiber blanket. You can never have too many of these lying around, both for their warmth and for the color and texture they add to a room. These bestselling throws come in four sizes and in 22 different colors. I’m a bit obsessed with the teal, myself.
Target Forehead and Eye Wrinkles With These Facial Patches
​Now that I am approaching 30, I am hyper-aware of wrinkles and fine lines. While I could get botox, I’m doing everything I can to push it off. These facial patches sit between your forehead and eyes and work by pulling the skin taut and holding it there for a minimum of three hours every single day. It helps tighten the skin and ultimately makes you look younger without the needles!
This Weeding Tool Does the Hard Work for You
Weeds are the bane of every yard owner’s existence. Any help you can get eliminating those nasties is a blessing, which is why you’re going to love this Grampa’s Weed Puller tool. The four-claw steel head design easily removes even deeply rooted weeds without you needing to bend or kneel since it’s attached to a 45″ long bamboo pole. Tools that let me be more lazy? Yes please.
This Portable Butane Stove is a Must Have for Camping
This Portable Butane Stove would be great for camping but also a smart addition to emergency supplies. If electricity isn’t working and gas is turned off, a little stove like this will mean you can heat necessities like coffee and canned food! I love it because it seriously ups my cooking game when I’m out adventuring.
Say Goodbye to Fur Covered Clothes Thanks to the Furzapper
I have three cats, which means that every item I own is absolutely covered in cat fur. This is especially true for clothing. That’s where the Furzapper comes in. Throw it in the washer and dryer, and it will remove pet hair off your laundry while you wash. One use and clothes will be looking good as new.
This Leaf Scooper Will Halve the Time You Spend in the Garden
Here’s the thing: bagging leaves isn’t fun. It’s messy, hard on your back, and takes much longer than it should. Luckily, these leaf scoops are here to change the game (when it comes to yard work, at least). After raking your leaves into a neat little pile, use these babies to easily scoop and bag. Game=changed.
This is the Most Purchased Beauty Product on Amazon in 2020
This is easily not only my favorite gadget on this list but also one of my favorite gadgets of all time. The Revlon one-step tool is both a dryer and a volumizer in one. Don’t have time to dry and style in the mornings? Now you can do both in one step. This is also highly-rated on Amazon with nearly 300,000 reviews including this one: “My hair looks like I just walked out of the salon and spent $100, every time.”
This Foot Peel Will Leave Your Feet Baby Soft
I am addicted to foot peels. There, I said it. But honestly you will be too once you try this out. Let your feet soak in this peel for about an hour — over the course of the next two weeks, your outer layer of skin will begin to peel away, revealing baby-soft toes and feet. Oooh it’s just so satisfying.
This Travel Mug is Has Cult Status in My House
The reviews for this travel mug inspired by camping enamelware are out of this world. It has a vacuum-insulated stainless steel body, which keeps drinks cold for 10 hours or hot for 5, and it’ll fit in your car cupholder unlike many other travel mug designs. The sliding lid is easy to operate with one hand and is guaranteed leak-proof. As an added bonus, the handle’s lined with comfy cork to make sipping even more enjoyable. I’m definitely picking one of these up to keep my tea warm this fall and winter since I never get to drink the whole thing while it’s still hot!
