Why are so many people applauding these products? It's elementary, my dear Watson.
1. A Chom Chom pet hair remover if you'd prefer your furniture to be fur-free. It has a sticky roller (no wasteful adhesive strips) that clings to hair and deposits it into a built-in compartment. You can interrogate Fido about who sat on the couch all you want, but dogs don't speak Human! Instead, use this reusable roller to reclaim your seating.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care—it's THAT good." —DH
Get it from Amazon for $24.99(available in two colors).
2. Arapid egg cookerbecause it doesn't take a hardboiled detective to make perfect hardboiled eggs. Along with (soft, medium, and hard) boiled eggs, this thing can make omelets and poached and scrambled eggs, all without close supervision.
Promising review:"I was skeptical when I ordered it, but Iuse it constantly.I live in barracks and do not have a stove. I bought it for boiled eggs but use it much more for breakfast burritos. Super easy. Butter tray, put in egg and water, press the button, and walk away. By the time I'm dressed for work, it's ready. Throw it in a tortilla and walk out with it. More nutritious than Pop-Tarts. It does hard-boiled eggs well, but don't assume that all it's good for.Great for college kids, military people, traveling workers, or anyone without access to a full kitchen." —a.l.s
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in eight colors).

3. ARevlon hot air brushover 400,000 5-star reviewers (!!!) love for its ability to create blowout-level looks right at home. Glossy, effortless waves are just a few brushes away!
Promising reviews:"I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years, and I couldn’t be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blowouts! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes ( on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. The only caveat I have come across so far is that the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" —ERJ
"This review is for all the Black women looking for a good blow dryer for their hair. I have4C (mainly) natural hair and got tired of using the regular dryers because they made my arms tired. I have thick, long hair, so blowdrying takes forever for me.This blow dryer was wonderful. I didn't even have to detangle before using it, and it dried my hair very nicely. I love it so much.My only complaint is it is bigger than I expected it to be. A little bulk,y but I will get used to it. Overall, I am loving this hair dryer so far and am glad I made the investment." —Johniece Elbert
Get it from Amazon for $32.43+(available in three styles and four colors).
4. A pair of fan light pull cords so you can finally know which turns on the fan and which turns on the light without searching for clues.
5. A dog paw-cleaning device to keep Spot's feet squeaky clean, because you can't exactly put hand sanitizer on a dog. (Seriously, do not do that.) Fill the tube up with soapy water and let the soft bristles scrub away the day's walk. And, OK, wow: Over 40,000 people awarded this thing 5 stars for its convenience and efficiency.
Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer who likes to dig, a mini golden doodle who is prissy about her paws, and a standard Labradoodle puppy who is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously, the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+(available in three sizes and eight colors).

They come in a little book-like case that helps keep them clean and protected when not in use. They are easy to peel and stick and then remove again as necessary. They do not damage books or papers at all. I use these for my day planner, noting recipes in cookbooks, taking notes in various craft books, and taking notes on important documents so I remember what I need to do with them later.

12. A pack of Miracle-Gro water-storing crystals that'll prevent both under- *and* over-watering, which I believe are the top two killers of plants.When you water your houseplants, the crystals retain the moisture and release it as the soil dries. "Who killed the houseplant?" is hopefully not a case you'll ever have to solve.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
This works for both indoor and outdoor plants.
Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." —Pattijwr
Get it from Amazon for $10.28.

Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
14. A spandex-blend slip maxi dressthat's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. I'd argue that this dress is equal (or even better) to the pricier Skims dress andreviewers corroborate my story.
Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down.
Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skimstag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like theSkimsversion, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skimsone.If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." —Kaitlyn
"I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but I read reviews, and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose.If you want a snatched look, definitely get a size smaller, as it is very stretchy.I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to theSkims, the material is smoother, whileSkims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 10 colors).
15. And ascoop neck teeoffering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top. Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs.

Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan
Get it from Amazon for $9.61(also available in five other styles).
17. A pack of disposable shower hair catchersfor people who often forget to clean the drain after a shower and too squeamish to maintain a device like the TubShroom. Over 8,000 reviewers love that you can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested.

Promising review:"OK, so first, nothing will make you 'pore-less' per se, but this stuff is amazing.It will even out fine lines and help with super porous areas; my T-zone is the worst for pores, and this definitely gave me a boost in confidence. I would highly recommend it. Especially to those not too familiar with makeup, this is a game-changer. Honestly, it works better than my $30 primer from Urban Decay, and it lasts all day. I am oily, so I usually blot some powder on later in the day, but if you have dry skin, this could be the ultimate game-changer!" —Olivia

21. And agarlic rockerfaster and easier to use than a traditional garlic press. It's also waayy easier to clean — best not dwell on the trauma of trying to fit a sponge into one of those things.😬
I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press. This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old-school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle; it minces just the same. This also comes with a (TBH, very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant.

Promising review: "I absolutely loved this contact paper. It completely transformed my countertop. It was super easy to apply, and if I messed up, it was extremely easy to redeem myself. I did this alone with no help, and I’m pretty proud of the outcome. Took me about 30 min to complete it. I used the whole roll of the smallest option, and it was enough for me.

Promising review: “LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning, just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at, and launder extremely well.I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!!” —Shannon Warfel

Promising review:"This is exactly what I was looking for, and I 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.

Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle of the table, saying one of the words "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone slaps their hand on the card in a pile as quickly as possible. The last person on the pile has to take the stack and add them to their cards, and whoever runs out of cards first wins!
Promising review: "Ridiculous in a good way! I was skeptical about how much I may enjoy this game being in my mid-thirties. But it's a lot of fun!

31. A Stasher reusable silicone bag that's airtight, dishwasher and microwave safe, and sturdy as heck, making it the perfect replacement for disposable plastic bags. Captain Planet is on the phone, ready to congratulate you.
Amazon
It's self-sealing, nonplastic, and safe for the dishwasher, microwave, and oven (up to 425 degrees). It's also free of BPA, PVC, and latex.
Promising review: "I've tried a LOT of reusable bags as there are a lot of options out there all using a variety of materials. The fabric ones just get gross over time. The vinyl ones are hard to clean and aren't usually dishwasher-safe. There are other silicone ones that need a separate rod to close them that you can easily lose. This one is the most simple and easy to use. No separate pieces to lose. Can withstand any temperature/microwave/dishwasher/whatever. And if they get gunky, they are very easy to clean, and I trust that they aren't hiding gross crumbs in any of the crevices. My only complaint is the cost — they are the most expensive, and I wish they offered a bulk discount. If they were cheaper, I would use them for EVERYTHING (open cheese in the cheese drawer, all snacks on the go, etc.)." —Megan A.
