A rechargeable lighter, so you can light every candle in the house and create the *perfect* ambience without concern you’ll run out of lighter fluid.
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, Amazon
BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has and loves this product, she said:
“This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I’m a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I’ve always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it.”
Promising review: “Wow. This thing is amazing. Small and so easy to use. My husband kept saying it won’t actually light anything and was blown away when it did. We lit candles and paper to use as tinder with absolutely no effort. No fuel needed. Just a quick recharging. And no waste in throwing away those huge and never easy to use butane sticks. Love love it. Easy buying process so I would recommend everyone buy one.” —Diane Bold
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in five colors).

An external battery charger that’ll save you when you inevitably leave the house before charging your phone…again.
Amazon
Promising review: “If you’re looking for peace of mind every time you leave the house, this power bank doesn’t disappoint. It’s the size of a credit card and only a hair heavier than my iPhone 6, making it extremely portable without being bulky and heavy. There’s a power button you press which shows how much power is left via four blue LEDs (when it’s dead, only one LED will flash). You can only charge one device with this power bank but I’m always impressed by how quickly this charges my iPhone 6 (from 10% to near full takes approximately one hour). So far, I’ve been able to charge my phone about four times from near empty to full before having to charge the power bank.” —Patrick

Cable clips to attach to your many charging wires to finally form a manageable system that won’t have you fumbling to untangle cords every time you want to charge your phone.
Amazon
Promising review: “It was always a pain to reach down the side of my bed to reach my chargers, not to mention the wad of cables I’d have to sift through just to charge my phone. I finally searched for a solution and came across these. They’re great! They’re really easy to stick on and they stay in place. I haven’t had an issue of them falling off. Whenever I need to charge a device they’re right next to me, easy to reach and untangled. I definitely recommend!” —Nelis Perez

A sound machine/night light for anyone who is desperate for some decent sleep sometime this decade.
Amazon
Promising review: “LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this lamp/white noise machine. I bought a second one, and now everyone in the family wants one (the adults and teen alike!). The options for lamp brightness/dimness, noise volume, and types of white noise are GREAT. We were able to drown out fireworks for my son that were going off RIGHT over our house. The touch option for on/off is great; there is a toddler lock feature we love; you are able to program green-to-rise for kiddos to stay in their rooms until it turns a certain color… love being able to control it from my phone… you can add as many lamps to your app as you want/need. Just LOVE this lamp. The one thing that isn’t my favorite is that you have to disconnect/log out of one lamp to connect with another in the app. I wish you could just select each lamp without that extra step, but that’s not a huge deal at all. Love it!” —H.P.

A Billie razor subscription that’ll make sure you never find yourself without a razor on the ONE occasion you actually want to wear a sexy dress and show off silky smooth legs.
Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed, Billie / Via instagram.com
Billie is a fantastic subscription service that lets you choose how often you need your razor refills then delivers them right to your doorstep. I recently tried my first Billie razor and, OMG, my legs have never been smoother. My coworker Rachel Dunkel is also a BIG fan of Billie razors and their other products. Here’s what she had to say:
“For the last five years or so, I haven’t cared that much about shaving. I’d let my legs and pits grow into a (beautiful!) forest, but whenever I craved a nice, smooth shave and picked up a razor from the drugstore, I’d end up disappointed. Even with more expensive razor brands, I’d still be prickly and end up regretting ever shaving in the first place. I have never, ever had that problem with Billie. Ever since trying their razors and shave cream, I’ve actually *wanted* to keep up with shaving. You get a ridiculously smooth result on the first go, even if your hair is super grown out. But most importantly, it STAYS that way for way longer than with other brands. With Billie, it actually feels worth the time and money to shave, something that I could never say about any other razor.”

Or a Panasonic Cordless Shaver and Epilator that comes with seven attachments (including a foot scrubber and body cleansing brush!) that’ll ensure you’re silky and smooth at all times.
Amazon
This gadget is super practical since it’ll help you cut down on razor blades in general! No need to toss out any dull razor heads, just charge this baby up and you’ll be ready to go! My mom has been using this product for literally my entire life and it is the number one item she cannot live without. Seriously, just ask her about that time a PTA mom called and my sister said “she can’t come to the phone right now, she’s shaving.”
Promising review: “I’ve tried several of these electric shavers, and this one is far and away the best. Its on/off button provides a choice of speeds, and its five heads provide the best epilator result I’ve experienced. Lightweight, it fits nicely in the hand, well balanced and comfortable. Also, it can be used in the shower which makes it much more versatile than others that are priced the same or even more.” —KasaC

An air fryer (from the makers of the INSTANT POT!!), perfect for anyone who hasn’t always been a big fan of leftovers but wants to make the most of all their delicious homemade meals. Best of all? You can crisp up your fave foods without all that oil.
Hannah Loewentheil / BuzzFeed
BuzzFeed editor Hannah Loewentheil finally caved and bought an air fryer while in quarantine, and she’s glad she did:
“I’d been contemplating buying an air fryer for quite some time, but it wasn’t until I found myself cooking every night with my family due to COVID-19 that I finally decided it was the right time to get one. Friends of mine were raving about their new Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer, so after reading similar feedback on Amazon, I decided it looked like a winner. And it happens to be made by the same company that makes the crowd-favorite Instant Pot. I figured I would be using this appliance primarily as air air fryer, but as an added bonus, it can also roast, broil, bake, re-heat, and dehydrate food.
I’ve had this air fryer for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say it’s become the hero of my kitchen. It preheats quickly, it’s large enough to a good amount of food at once, it’s easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I’ve been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you’re cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don’t get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don’t mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there’s no oil involved in the cooking — just air. We also tried making sesame chicken in the air fryer using boneless skinless chicken thighs. The sesame chicken tasted almost identical to my favorite Chinese takeout, and it had nothing to do with my cooking skills. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn’t believe I made this at home!!”

A Clorox ToiletWand that you can use then toss away — say SEE YA’ to that gross toilet brush hiding in the corner of your bathroom.
Target
I own and cherish this product. It’s a dream knowing the “brush” is fresh and hasn’t been intimate with the inside of my toilet prior to my picking it up again.
Promising review: “I’ve always hated the idea of storing a drippy, germ-filled toilet brush under the sink and this product totally solved the issue. The heads snap on and pop off easily without the need to touch them. Was very pleasantly surprised at how well the heads scrub the bowl, didn’t expect them to be that durable. I originally bought one for the master bath and loved it so much I bought one for each bathroom.” —Jessamine

And an all-natural tile and tub cleaner you can count on to effectively remove mold, mildew, and rust — just think of *how* satisfying your “before” and “after” photos will be.
Promising review: “I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I’ve never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn’t affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn’t leak in the box. I highly recommend this.” —Amber Erwin

A splurge-worthy Dyson vacuum to help you attempt to tackle the never-ending influx of hair, fuzz, and dust that threatens to take over every crevice of your home.
amazon.com, Amazon
Honestly, no matter which version of the Dyson stick vacuum you purchase, I can promise you’ll be satisfied with the results. I’ve used a variety of ’em and I can’t say enough good things about the product. It doesn’t hurt my back to use for an extended period of the time, the battery lasts long enough to clean my entire apartment, and it simply just WORKS. We have ours mounted in a narrow spot alongside our fridge — it’s really easy to keep in plain sight without being an eyesore.
Promising review: “I love this vacuum. The V10 doesn’t disappoint. While it’s weird to get used to holding this tiny piece of machinery, it really does an amazing job. It was incredible how much dog fur it picked up! I was pretty grossed out to be honest, to think I lived in this atmosphere for this long ‘thinking’ it was clean is nuts! I love all the attachments too, they are all top notch and well made. I feel like I can tackle my entire house with this bad boy. AND it’s lightweight! I use it on the lowest setting and it still picks up a ton. I don’t think I’ll ever need the high or medium setting. But I did try the highest setting for a few seconds and literally felt like the vacuum was ATTACHED to the floor, that’s how hard it sucked (in a good way)!” —Matthew Mintun

A wireless endoscope gadget you’ll absolutely want in your toolbox — it has a teeny tiny camera on the end you can send behind walls or into drains to see what’s going on before calling in a professional.
Amazon
This is literally the only thing on my husband’s wish list. He found this online and was absolutely blown away by the technology. This tool connects to an app on your phone, allowing you to problem solve without having to spend an exorbitant amount of money.
Promising review: “This camera works so well it’s almost a joke. An overhead light in my boat’s cabin had severed wire. The hole to access the wire is not even 1/2” in diameter, and the gap in the ceiling is only 2” tall. Adjusted the semi rigid cable, located the severed wire, went back in with the hook attached, and voila!” —the family cook

Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed
My fellow BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves this thing. Here’s what she had to say:
“The acne scars on my cheeks from a series of breakouts are fading fast, and I get new acne very rarely — they’re more like a pimple here and there occasionally when I have to fly somewhere (curse you, dry airplanes) or get stressed or…. who even knows why my skin freaks out sometimes. Never thought I’d ever put a no-makeup selfie on the internet, but that’s how much I love this thing.”

I have one of these bad boys and they even take off Kylie Lip Kits — a true feat.
Promising review: “YESS!!! I cannot LIVE without this product. I have always had pretty bad acne and every product I’d use would result in either a breakout or just constant irritation. This product can be used with JUST WATER to get literally all of your makeup off with zero skin irritations! I use it in the AM and PM and one rag will usually last me a full seven days before needing a wash. I have about three or four of these because I cannot live without them.

An ice roller, which is said to help decrease under-eye puffiness, minimize fine lines, and shrink the look of pores — as well as to relieve headaches and sore muscles.
My sister bought this for me and I’m obsessed with it — which is why I know it’s awesome! It’s my favorite thing to start my pampering with, but I also use it in the morning before I apply any makeup. All you have to do is pop the separate roller piece into your freezer and you’ll be ready to de-puff in no time.
Promising review: “Extremely affordable and feels great on my face right when I wake up in the morning!! I can feel the difference after a couple of rolls along my puffy eyes and face. It soothes my puffiness with the cold but bearable feeling. And it does stay cool for a good amount of time. Best thing is its not a watery mess.” —Tammy N.

I have this little foam roller and use it almost every night. I roll my spine over it and it releases all the tension in a series of very satisfying cracks. Get one — add it into your pre-bedtime ritual!
Promising review: “My chiropractor recommended I buy the 36” version of this for some daily routine back stretching to do at home. This product has been amazing for stretching, and massaging sore muscles throughout my back and shoulders. I feel very supported by this roller and have had no issues with it thus far. I weigh 200 pounds and have yet to damage this roller after weeks of use. Overall very pleased with this product. And at such a great price, I honestly can’t find a single negative remark to note about it.” —Luke Marrs

Cut resistant gloves — a must-have for any “chef” who isn’t super confident in their knife skills and would like to keep all of their digits.
Amazon
You can even pop these in the washing machine for a thorough cleaning.
Promising review: “After my husband sliced his finger on our mandolin I decided to check out these gloves. We are both very impressed with how well they work. The company who sells these is also wonderful — they sent a follow-up email to ensure that we liked the gloves and would have replaced or refunded our money if we weren’t happy. The only thing I was concerned about when I ordered the gloves was if I was buying the right size. My husband and I have different hand sizes, but the medium is working well for both of us. And knowing that they would send a different size free of charge was wonderful. Now we don’t have to worry about slicing off our fingers!” —That Author Guy’s Wife

A car seat gap filler, so you’ll never have to fret about dropping your phone or a rogue French fry into a seemingly endless abyss never to be found again.
Promising review: “I have to admit, my expectations weren’t very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don’t know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it’s soft! It’s just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn’t another product that compares to this. ” —Tessa Forbes

A Nest thermostat, because real adults don’t head out the door without actually knowing if they should grab a coat or not.
googlenest / Via instagram.com
This smart thermostat will do all the work for you — and when you *do* actually have to make any updates to the temp in your home you can do it all from your phone, tablet, or laptop. The Nest thermostat learns your schedule and the temperatures you prefer and shifts into Eco Temperature mode when you leave to conserve energy.
Promising review: “We have had our best thermostat for a little over a year now and I have to say we love it. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! The features are amazing. I like that. You can adjust the temperature when you’re not home plus it syncs with the weather and knows when to adjust the temperature. Plus it knows when you’re home or away and learns your routine. We keep it set to a temperature range where in the winter it won’t go below a set temperature and in the summer it won’t go above a set temperature. No more switching back and forth between heat and AC in our crazy Texas weather. Our electric bill is significantly lower. It takes a couple weeks for it to learn your routine. We don’t ever even have to touch the thermostat.” —geogg arvesen

A collapsible Stojo cup you can use to bring your fave hot beverage on errands then simply squish it down and pop it into your bag without a worry it won’t be able to fit.
Amazon, amazon.com
I have one of these cool cups and have been really impressed with it. I recently used it early one morning when I was craving a cup of hot tea but had to run some errands. It pops open really easily, feels very durable, and keeps my drink hot.
Promising review: “Love this cup. I was originally turned off to it due to the size of the top section, however it’s not as big as it looks online and it’s the perfect size. It will fit most purses but not likely women’s pant pockets. After filling it with water I shook the cup and there was no leaking. Even after I finished my latte and collapsed the cup there was no residue leakage at all. The cup didn’t get excessively hot either. The cup also had mL markers on the inside which is wonderful. I highly recommend this product!” —HR

I came back from summer camp once with a mat in my hair like a dog. Other hair brushes tend to rip my hair out because of the knotty-ness and fine strands. This brush is fantastic. The only thing I don’t like about it is it took me 25 years to find it. I can actually brush my hair with minimal pain and hair loss. It works like a charm and I can brush my hair quicker and more thoroughly than with any other brush I’ve used.” —Amazon Customer

A cleaning pen to help keep that priceless ring your grandma handed down to you sparkling the same way it was the day she received it decades ago.
This seemingly average little cleaning pen is filled with a high-performance formula that cleans jewelry like nothing I’ve ever experienced. It contains micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer that will make your gems so shiny they’ll nearly blind you. I’ve used it on my diamond rings, but it also works wonders on my cubic zirconia earrings. Check out my full review of the Connoisseurs 1050 Diamond Dazzle Stick.

An apron with built-in oven mitts and a sewn-in conversion chart that’ll protect your clothes while you whip up your prized chocolate chip cookies.
Food52
My husband (who admittedly does most of the cooking in our home) has and loves this apron. While he hasn’t actually used the built-in oven mitts, he likes having a gender neutral apron option instead of having to wear my *very* floral one (which is super cute, from Anthropologie and similar to this one) and often references the measurements on the inside pockets.
Promising review: “I love this apron! I’m a petite 5-foot-3 and get why some similar sized people may feel it’s too big but I love the way it fits. It’s a heavier weight which makes it feel like a lot on my small frame at first but I don’t mind the extra length and feel very protected. Pot holder pockets still work length-wise for me and I have not gotten a stain or ruined my actual clothing since I got this. Maybe I’m a messier cook than most but other thinner, smaller aprons didn’t provide the same protection. It’s a bonus that it fits my tall husband too.” —Caroline F.

Promising review: “I expected to be happy, but I’m thrilled! Each mat is pliable and fits the entire width of my standard oven. When the mat is against the back wall, it extends up to but not over the front lip of the floor. On first use, pizza cheese and sauce dripped onto the front edge of the mat and onto that uncovered lip. The baked-on cheese and sauce slid right off the mat! Effortlessly! After I cleaned up the lip, I layered a second mat to cover the lip. These mats are so great that I almost want food to drip on them so I can show off how wonderful they are.” —Artset Outset

A 64-piece IFixit kit for when your most-used gadget gives out and you’d rather try to repair it yourself than buy a new one.
My husband is admittedly a “gadget guy” and has one of these kits for as long as I can remember. He’s a big fan of the brand and loves that every set comes with a lifetime warranty.
Promising review: “Seriously, I have been repairing small electronics for decades now, over 30 dang years, and I will say this is probably the best deal and collection you can get for simple to even complicated repairs. It has a crapload of bits, but essentially everything you will need as opposed to the next larger offering, though I am still considering getting that for my dungeon downstairs. I keep this upstairs literally in the kitchen since a lot of impromptu repairs occur at the dining room table, but I have not been let down. This is top notch/quality material and manufacturing. It not only feels comfortable but is very strong and bits do not let go of screws. It has a great deal of bits too, 64 in fact. It pretty much covers all the phone and laptop screws you will encounter and even has some socket ones too. Nice touch.” —Riboild

If you have a shower that doesn’t have a lot of ledge room for all your ‘stuff,’ this shower curtain will be your best friend. You can fit so many things inside the pockets! I honestly only use like 4–5 of the pockets. You can also use this as a liner and have another more decorative shower curtain on the outside but I personally use it as a shower curtain. I usually change it every 6 months because it does start getting a little soap scummy on the bottom. The best shower curtain/liner money can buy!” —DAtkins

It’s soft as it should be based on the thread used. The tassels are not loose threads. I like the look and the unfinished metallic mustard thread adds character. It’s a beautiful pattern and the throw works perfectly with my sofa. I can’t wait to read my book and cuddle with it.” —K. Gabriel

And a PhoneSoap UV sanitizer you can toss your phone into for a quick 10 minutes after you get home to get rid of the grime that’s surely found its way onto your screen.

I have one of these bad boys and can validate that it is SO easy to use. I pop my phone into it when I get in the shower and click the lil’ button on the front to start the cleaning process. You can also charge your phone while it’s inside the machine. Fellow germaphobes — you can thank me later.
Promising review: “Bought this along with a set of agar plates to test it for ourselves. We swabbed my daughter’s and husband’s phones before and after use. It does work. We are very happy with the product.” —Ginger
