Promising review: "I bought this charger for the first time as a gift for my kids. I have used portable chargers for years and the cord gets really annoying. It's difficult to take pictures while holding the phone and the portable corded charging bank but these are amazing! They plug directly into my phone and there is no cord! The charge lasts a very long time and charges my phone quickly. We liked them so much that I bought another one for my dad for Father's Day. Definitely recommend!" —S. Wheeler

You'll get one plug-in base and three refills!

Promising review: "You need this. I needed this. We all need this. Trust me. This thing works like magic. I’m actually disgusted by how good it works but I don't care. It works. I plugged it in and in two minutes, I saw flies being attracted to it. Within five hours I wanted to cry because of how well this thing works. I was reluctant to get it at first because it’s pricey, but trust me, it’s worth every single penny. I’d buy this over and over and over again." —realmikaelaa

Keep your eyewear protected, neatly separated, and easy to access. These cases are made with durable shatter-resistant plastic, come in packs of two, and fit five pairs of eye glasses. You'll surely wonder why you didn't grab one of these babies sooner.

Promising reviews: "Love this for my sunglasses, so glad I found it!!! It’s so much better than the ones you hang behind the door. Your glasses stay clean because it’s completely closed, it’s transparent so you can see where each pair are, they’re stackable so it saves space, and the look of the acrylic storage makes it aesthetically pleasing in my room. If you have obnoxiously huge sunglasses, they might not fit FYI." —Amazon Customer

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

Promising review: "Very useful! I have bought three of these over the last year. The first was for travel, for the extra plug-ins and to charge our phones. The second was for my office, for easy access of charging my phone without unplugging anything — plus, the nightlight. I just bought another for my 90-year-old parents. They work all the time and are a perfect size to fit things without taking up too much space." —kathyk

Get it from Amazon for $17.97 (available in two styles).

This lifesaver of a gadget has six different timers (from 15 minutes to six hours) and is very easy to use. Just think about how convenient it'll be when you work eight hours but can still put your slow cooker pot roast on knowing that it'll for sure turn off in six hours. You hear that? That's the sound of your mind not convincing you that you left the space heater on again, because your timed outlet turns it off regardless.

Promising reviews: "Perfect to limit the overnight charging of cell phones or other devices. It has single button timer settings for up to six hours, I use it all the time. Perfect, simple, straightforward! I got it for my parents and bought more for myself." —Snowdog

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

You can even mark the date you opened it on the top of the stopper!

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has firsthand experience with this bubbly saver. In her own words:

"I love bubbles — champs, cava, prosecco, sparkling rosé — they just know how to bring the party! But no one likes when sparkling wine goes flat, or you feel like you can't just have one or two glasses without ruining the whole bottle. So I went on Amazon and found the best champagne stopper I could find and immediately hit 'add to cart.' What a great purchase! This little bb is so easy to use — just pop it on top of the bottle, push the metal sides in so it clamps on, then push the top button several times to vacuum seal and preserve the bubs. Then when you next want a glass, spritz, or mimosa, you'll hear that same *POP* you heard when first taking out the cork — and the effervescence you so crave will be fully intact. Plus, you can confidently store your leftover bottle on its side in your fridge; I've had zero leakage problems with this thus far!"

Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

It'll let you answer calls at the touch of a button, and is designed to easily let you skip or pause through songs.

Promising review: "Searched online to find the best performing Bluetooth car adapter and this product was on the list. Ordered one to try it out and was VERY HAPPY with how well it worked. Ordered THREE more to give as gifts, and all three recipients are amazed by this product's performance. It pairs easily to any phone. I listen to Amazon Music, make phone calls and use GPS in my vehicle. Sound comes through vehicle speakers. Clear quality. One of my friends was planning to spend $200 plus to have a new system put into her vehicle so she could have Bluetooth capability. She bought this little device and saved herself over $180!! I HIGHLY recommend this product!" —MKerch

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six colors).

The set comes with one spatula with a 6-inch handle, and another with a 12-inch handle.

Promising review: "So worth it! I'm so happy with it. You will definitely save money using this. I think about how much I could have saved if this was invented 30 years ago. I mostly use it for small makeup jars. I tested out the longer one on a 18-ounce lotion and it worked fine. Some reviews complain about not being able to get every curve and corner of their container...oh please...You get so much more than you would without it." —Liz

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99.

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina

Get it from Amazon for $6.89+ (available in two colors).

Souper Cubes is a family-run small biz that specializes in better frozen meal prep and food waste reduction! Their products are BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and have fill lines on the side of the compartments for half and full cups.

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three colors and as a pack of two).

Promising review: "We saw this on Shark Tank, and thought we'd give it a shot. The lip balm-sized tube is perfect for travel — walking on a beach with sunglasses on, sweat makes them slide down. Just a couple of dabs of this Nerdwax keeps them in place. It also worked well — keeping glasses up during snow blowing in a recent blizzard. So while I'd rather use it walking on a beach, it did the job when I was shoveling snow as well. Is it costly? Yes. But does it work? Yes!" —DeFelice Family

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

The seat gap filler is flexible and fits into most cars. The pack comes with two gap fillers (one for both the driver and passenger sides), a sticky pad for keeping items like your phone from sliding around, and an LED car light.

Promising review: "These are the greatest thing for your car. Things fall out of my pockets and always find their way down the side of the seat. I have given these as gifts and they are always welcomed and people say 'how did I ever live without these.' THE BEST!!!!" —cathy

Get a pair from Amazon for $24.99.

Promising review: "I received this by 12 p.m. using Prime One Day on the DAY of my wedding (yes my bad that I was so busy and completely forgot to get this earlier!) Snapped these on my Jimmy Choo thin heels immediately and they SAVED my day! They stayed on my heels the entire four hours that I walked in them in an outdoor garden with grass and gravel ground. I was greeting guests and taking photos and these protected the heels and they still looked decent afterwards. No sinking into grass, dirt, or gravel, and no embarrassment. They made my heels more stable and comfortable to walk in as well. So glad I got these!" —Jenn H.

Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in sizes 2XS–M for different heel thicknesses).

Promising review: "Love this belt. Had an armband to hold my phone while doing morning walks but it pinched and kept slipping unless I cut off my circulation! This is great. Fits nicely under my T-shirts but you could wear it over if you prefer. Fits my iPhone 7+ no problem. Also little pockets to hold a credit card or some cash. Bought another one for hubby and called the supplier for an extension (he's 6'2", a big guy) — also no problem. Arrived promptly. We love these! Just great for hands free walking while listening to music." —karyanne

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors).

You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more. Sooooo easy to use, just drop one of these tablets in some warm tap water with your retainer and *voila* this stuff does all the work.

Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." —Lisa R.

Promising review: "My son hates touching toilet seats (I don’t blame him) and would lean over to pee. This caused him to pee on the seat many times. Since I've installed this genius product, he has had no problems! Thank you so much!" —Abbey

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (comes in packs of two).

Promising review: "I love these hair scrunches. They are very comfortable around your wrist and love the fact that I’m able to store money along with lipstick. It’s great when you're on the go, at a party, or even at school. The zipper is well made and so is the hair tie." —YJORDAN

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (available in seven color combinations).

Promising reviews: "These are so great! I put them on the back of a few of my appliances and they are great at keeping the cords organized. When I initially put them on, I let them sit overnight so the adhesive would be sure to stick before wrapping the cords around it. It's been over a month since I've had them and they don't budge and they keep the cords in place!" —T. Oriot

"This is my second order of the product. I have one on a stand mixer, one on a crockpot, and one on a blender. Sturdy and reliable. The cord organizers have done a great job of helping keep the kitchen tidy." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.09 (available in two color sets and in multipacks).

Promising review: "I first saw this online and it looked like it worked very well in the video that I watched. I use oil-blotting sheets a lot, but I thought if this roller ball works it would be way more convenient as it is reusable and washable. This does not move your makeup at all and it literally makes your face look completely matte, soaking up all of the oil! Super easy to clean." —Courtney

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

This tracker comes equipped with magnets and self-adhesive backing for multiple mounting options.

Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who 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 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 $11.95 (available in six styles).

Pretty sweet, right? BUT be sure to UNPLUG it when you're done so your car battery doesn't die!

Promising review: "My truck is older and doesn't have the fancy options. This heated cushion is great on cold mornings. It heats up fast and evenly. It's also great if you have a bad back to help loosen the muscles. Before, I would arrive at work with my back tense from the cold. This helps a lot and my muscles aren't tensed up while driving. One of the best 'treat myself' purchases that I've made." —CountryGal

Get it from Amazon for $54.99.

It has space for income, spending, monthly budgeting, and comes with two sticker sheets!

Promising review: "This budgeting planner is the bees knees. I love how many details it has to make your budget work for you. The little cubby in the back is so perfect for cash envelopes and stickers! It’s neatly laid out and there are so many places to take notes and really break it down. And the price *chef's kiss*." —.be.bop.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

Promising review: "Best invention ever! I gotta have my iced coffee, but being outside and in the car, the ice always melts so fast. I had been using those Java neoprene sleeves, and they were cute, and helped with the condensation from the cup but didn't keep it cold long. I lost my last one so I got on Amazon, and this showed up. Fits any size cup and same price as the neoprene sleeve? Sold! I got to use it today for the first time, and I'm in love. Excuse me while I buy every single color and give them as gifts as well! Don't hesitate. Buy it. Buy three. You will not regret it. I'll shout from the rooftops how obsessed I am with this product!" —BamaMama1026

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors).

The Glitter Mirror is a Nevada–based small biz that specializes in crafting lots of useful items from straw toppers to contactless door openers. And while you're checking out these amazing credit card grippers, I suggest you take a look at the downright GORGEOUS resin coasters too.

Promising review: "I’ve had long acrylics for a while and for the first time I was not able to get my card out of the gas machine and had to call a friend (embarrassing lol). This is the perfect solution!! It’s cute, lightweight but still sturdy. Highly recommend. (:" —Gabrielle

Get it from The Glitter Mirror on Etsy for $10+ (available in seven colors and in multipacks).

Promising reviews: "Reusable water bottles are great, but they are such a pain to store since they come in all shapes and sizes. They’re tall, they can’t nest inside each other, and if you lay 'em on their sides they just roll everywhere. This storage rack efficiently eliminates that problem! The three tier version was an awesome fit for my pantry. Will be getting a second one soon — I have collected so many free water bottles over the years! Might even consider using it elsewhere, like for my rolls of vinyl. Easy to set up, I did it without the instructions in just minutes. Highly recommend, worth the value." —Momo Kariño

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes and two styles).

Promising review: "This item is super easy to use and cuts well every time. I've used it five times already and it works perfectly. It's such a great time-saver and I've even come back to buy more for other friends as a cute little gift. This little helper makes me actually enjoy wrapping presents!! Everyone should have one of these!" —Cathy Bitner

Thaw Claw is a Black-owned small biz that's been featured on Shark Tank, HSN, and Good Morning America! For more deets, check out our as-seen-on TV kitchen products write-up.

Promising review: "With our schedules, thawing out our meal for that evening often included placing the frozen block in water to thaw in a reasonable time. Without this item, I was left to put a heavy pot or iron skillet on top to keep it in submerged to speed the thawing process. This device, with its suction base and spread design, keeps the food item under its fingers to allow the thawing process to complete in less than half the time by just putting it in the water. I recommend this item for anyone, but especially anyone who has time constraints for evening dinner prep or any other time for that matter." —mudhen7

Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I was surprised by how much I loved this. I’ve been trying to find a concealer for a long time. I have dry skin and a lot of concealers made the skin under my eyes look crepey and settled into my fine lines. This one, out of several I’ve tried, has not done any of that! I use as minimal product as possible to cover my dark circles, and so far so good!" —Liz

Get it from Amazon for $5.05+ (available in 13 shades).

Pizza Pack is a small biz that specializes in perfectly adjustable ways to store the 'za!

Promising review: "It's always a pain to put away leftover pizza. It never seems to work. UNTIL THIS PRODUCT!!! I am very happy with my purchase. It's easy to keep the pieces separate from others and you don't have a large bulky box letting your crust dry out. You can use it for one piece or several — it is very easy to expand. The best part is that it is very easy to clean. Storing the Pizza Pack when not in use doesn't take up a lot of space either. Try it." —B. Cirincione

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in five colors and in multipacks).

Promising review: "Fresh patch has been a total lifesaver!! We live on the fourth floor of a condo and just got a puppy! Potty training would have been a complete nightmare without it! It’s been so easy to wake up in the middle of the night and bring him onto the balcony to relieve himself instead of having to go alllll the way downstairs. Our goldendoodle puppy, Prince, LOVES using his fresh patch! When the fresh patch died we needed a temporary solution so we bought sod from a store and it just wasn’t as convenient or fresh!! Nothing compares!" —fashpup

Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in five sizes).

Just soak it in water for 20 minutes and place it in your sugar to soften and maintain moisture for approximately three to six months.

Promising review: "I was nervous to try them in case they were a waste of money. Yesterday, I followed the directions, i.e. soaked them in water for 20 minutes, then plopped one each in containers of hard-as-concrete dark brown sugar and one of light brown sugar. I didn't dry them, just dropped them in on top. So today, I took the containers down and looked, and each container of formerly concrete-hard sugar was easy to measure out, no lumps, it's a miracle!" —NGS

Get two from Amazon for $7.28 (also available in a pack of three).

Promising reviews: "I love this little pouch for keeping my lunch cold during outdoor activities. I like that it doesn't take up much space in my backpack or kayak dry bag whether it's full or not. It's awesome that it folds down for easy storage in my freezer. My BF uses it for his insulin syringe on roadtrips, etc. He also loves that it is so small and packable. This has been used a couple of times per week over about four months in not the gentlest conditions (e.g. shoving it into a dry bag or backpack, chucking it in the back of the car, having lunch on riverside rocks, etc) and shows no signs of wear and tear. Highly recommend." —Marty Swim

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six designs).

Talisman Designs is a small biz that specializes in products that make cooking and baking more fun!

Promising review: "The bacon bin by Talisman Designs is the best way to deal with bacon (or any!) grease! It’s the perfect size — not too large or small, and it’s easily reusable! The strainer is perfect for capturing those yummy bacon bits which normally would go down the drain or in the trash with the grease. I used to have to hunt for a leftover metal can (when I could find one), then pour in the hot grease, leave the can to cool, and then throw it out (couldn’t be recycled). Now I always have a bin for my grease! My bacon life just got way better thanks to this nifty, reusable bacon bin! Great product!" —Graceland Designs

Get it from Amazon for $17.

Promising review: "I was pretty skeptical. I read about how much pesticide can be on produce so I thought I'd try a fruit spray to see if it did anything... I could not believe how clean it got my blueberries. I tried to wash the other fruit with just water and could not get the wax off. Strong work Arm & Hammer, strong work. It didn't mess up the taste of my blueberries." —N. Shah

Get it from Amazon for $14.81+ (also available in a three pack).

It has a built-in timer and uses four AA batteries.
