Promising review: “You can easily write between your Mac, iPad, and iPhone. You just have to press the button for the right device and that’s it.

A vacuum hose attachment because the lint that has accumulated in your dryer…take care of that, sis. Clogged vents = longer drying times = higher utility bills = less money in your bank account to put toward, say, more Seamless takeout. An FYI that multiple reviewers (multiple!) pulled out whole socks from their lint traps.
Promising review: “This thing is seriously amazing. I figured out how to use it very quickly and it worked like a charm. I had a sock stuck wayy down in my vent and would’ve had no idea! I still can’t believe how much lent and dust came out of my dryer. My husband is already talking about other uses for this unique tool, like getting into tight spaces in our cars.” —J. Johnson

A tub of The Pink Stuff, an all-purpose paste capable of tackling your most pesky cleaning problems. Caked up grease on kitchen cabinets and red vino stains on white carpeting will all but vanish with no elbow grease required (an ideal cleaning situation).
Promising review: “My 2-year-old is an up-and-coming artist and she frequently uses my white walls as a canvas. I have gone through Costco-sized packages of “magic erasers” trying to scrub her artwork off the walls to no avail. We ordered this as a last resort when someone in a cleaning group recommended it. The day it came we cleaned two walls and every bit of the marker, pencil, crayon, and colored pencil came off. HIGHLY recommend this stuff.” —Jackilyn

A two-piece seamless activewear set that’s making me want to go for a hike in the great outdoors — and I hate the great outdoors. This comfy ‘fit is athleisure perfection: Throw it on with a puffer for errands, with a cardigan whilst working from home, and wear as/is for that 20-minute kickboxing video you *promise* you’ll get to today.
Promising review: “LOVE this set! I got it in dark gray. So much better than expected for such a great price. Nice and thick, stretchy material that does have some compression and is kind of smoothing for a super flattering look! It’s also really comfy and squat-proof. True to size, too!” —elena

An ice cube tray for making nugget-shaped cubes that are the secret sauce behind [insert fast food chain here] soft drinks, arguably the most satisfying part of any burger-and-fries meal combo.
Promising review: “I gotta say this is as close to fast food ice as you can get from a home ice cube tray. It’s the perfect shaped ice. It is easily chewed.

An electric frother if you spend more on ~fancy~ coffee in a week than you do on actual groceries. Barista-level drinks are yours at the press of a button: pour in your milk of choice (nondairy options included), choose one out of four foam options, and that’s it. That cappuccino will taste like it’s been teleported fresh from Italy.
Promising review: “I absolutely LOVE this frother so much that I’ve started giving it as gifts. Within three mins, or less, I can make my own fancy coffee right at home. We also use it for warming milk for single servings of hot cocoa for our kids. The milk is at the perfect temp. It is easy to use, easy to clean and it looks great (not an eye sore on the counter). It makes me look forward to my morning coffee.” —Jenn

A flexible Burger Buddy holder because you did not pay that $3 in extra toppings so that every hunk of provolone could slip out of your sandwich and onto your plate. Messy eaters, I accept your gratitude in advance. Never again will your wardrobe be ruined by grease stains.
Amazon
These are dishwasher-safe, odor- and heat-resistant, and really lightweight.
Promising review: “We’ve been eating at home a lot more often and trying to make our burgers taste like our favorite restaurants. That involves lots of sauce, tomatoes, and pickles. Messy burgers. This handy thing keeps it all together and keeps your hands (relatively) clean. Would love to have them when we eat out again… would it be weird to whip these out of my purse while dining out?” —C.

A set of smart plugs you can control through a voice-enabled Alexa. Getting up in the middle of [yet another] Harry Potter marathon to turn off that obnoxiously bright lamp? Nope. Make Alexa do it instead.
Promising review: “I have three different string lights that I like to have on during certain hours in the evening. These lights used to be hooked up to another smart plug with remote control. I replaced them with the Gosund outlets and they work flawlessly! All three lights are scheduled to turn on/off at the same time. If I’m ever going to be out later, I can change the schedule or turn on remotely.” —Linda M.

Stackable chairs likely meant for children but screw it, I’m getting them for myself. The GPS for these little piggies is taking Exit Purchased and heading straight toward the direction of my shopping cart.
Promising review: “My toddler loves pigs and requested some ‘big pink pigs’ to play pretend farm. These are amazing and she loves using them as pretend pets, as chairs, and to hide other toys under. They are really cute (even better than the pictures) and sturdy enough to hold any child or small adult. The plastic is easy to clean, too.” —Amazon Customer

A BedShelfie, aka a foolproof way to never lose your remote controls in the abyss that is your bedding. Nightstands are just a smidge too far for comfortably setting down your nighttime essentials (glasses! phones! books you intend on reading but don’t because of TikTok!), and this has just enough surface space to hold the items that tend to end up on the floor.
Promising review: “Intuitive set up/installation. Exactly what I was looking for. Didn’t want to commit to a nightstand bc my dresser was nearby but not close enough for my bedside must haves. I have an old (heavy) MacBook, a bottle of water, and my phone there at once and it works perfectly.” —Kristina Lee

Promising review: “I am amazed at how easy it is to make candles! I made small mosquito-repellent candles for my wedding. I just added a colored dye and scent after I melted the wax. Was super easy and quick to make. The hardest thing for me was to wait for it to cool down and solidify. I even had my kids help. They thought it was fun to mix colors to create their own. This wax melts nicely and doesn’t really have an odor by itself.” —Amanda

A portable paint palette set for anyone who fancies themself a modern-day da Vinci (one with a stronger appreciation of eyebrows). Reviewers swear that the paint quality is fantastic for the price, plus the palette is refillable which means cha-ching! Money saved in the long run.
Amazon
You’ll get 18 colors (including two white).
Promising review: “Colors are vibrant and opaque, while still drying matte. They’re easily workable and the inclusion of two white pans is a huge plus for me, as it’s always the color that goes first! The palette itself is durable and well-made, snapping tightly into place when you’re ready to store your paints. At first I was concerned about the colors drying, but frankly there’s so much paint that I don’t see that happening anytime soon as long as I continue to spritz them with water and stir them a bit occasionally. My favorite aspect of this palette is the amount of paint in each cup, I often find myself being afraid to waste paint with my more expensive tube gouache, but that’s not an issue at all with this palette. Overall, this is an amazing palette for people who are learning gouache, and experienced artists alike. It gives you a genuine gouache experience, and lends itself to lots of experimentation without fear of wasting expensive paint.” —analee

A portable pack of soap sheets that will certainly come in ~handy~, particularly during *eye twitches* these times. Public toilets — and the decorative dispensers that never contain soap — will no longer have to feel like the enemy.
Amazon
Promising review: “Exactly what I wanted! Hands feel very clean after wash! Highly recommend! I read other reviews and decided these had the best reviews, those reviews did not disappoint! Each sheet of soap produces enough soap to give the comfort of knowing your hands are throughly clean. We liked our first order so much that we bought 10 packs for my fiancé’s work crew to help make keeping their hands clean during this pandemic! ( he’s a delivery driver/repair tech). If you have wanted to try something like this product, I highly recommend this brand!” —Clippin4you

An Atlas Coffee Club subscription that delivers fresh beans ::immediately thinks of Even Stevens:: to your doorstep. Each box curates a new coffee type with personalized roasts and grinds, a postcard from a new country each month, plus tasting notes and tips for each batch. If you weren’t already a coffee snob…
Kayla Suazo / BuzzFeed, atlascoffeeclub / Via instagram.com
My fellow BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo tried out Atlas Coffee Club and only had good things to say:
“My first observation after opening the box was the smell. It smells FAN-FREAKIN’-TASTIC. It also comes with sweet postcards from the cities where the batches are from, so the entire experience feels so lovely and personal. As for the coffee itself, it’s heavenly. I am used to store-bought coffee — which yes, is fine — but both of these tasted incredibly fresh and different from each other. The Peruvian coffee has this dark, almost chocolate taste to it, so I imagine it would be delicious with a morning sweet treat (maybe I should start eating pie every day?). The Colombian batch, on the other hand, was a little lighter roast-wise but still had delicious notes of rich sweetness. TL;DR: both of them were incredible both in taste and quality.”
Get a subscription to Atlas Coffee Club for $9+ (available in a half bag, single bag, or double bag and shipments every two or four weeks).

Amazon
Promising review: “I got this for my daughter for a project over her summer break from school. I was amazed at the quality of the parts and materials as well as the assembly instructions. Note that this is NOT for the faint of heart! It looks like it could easily take 20 hours, or longer to fully assemble this as it is a serious doll house kit, and can definitely provide lots of enjoyment for someone who likes building these kinds of things. Worth the money.” —Life and things

Promising review: “I live in Seattle and the seasonal depression during the winter months can be intense (sunset by 4:30 p.m., cold and rainy, etc.). My doctor recommended a sun light and I genuinely think this is the best Amazon purchase I’ve made in years. It sits on my desk at work – I use it for about an hour or two every day (with the comfort lens). I absolutely feel more energetic, focused, and calm/less stressed.” —R. Bender

A watering funnel that gives you no choice but to water your plants. The amount of water that has pooled on my floor rather than into the roots of my ZZ… ridiculous, quite frankly! This is effective, takes up no extra space, doesn’t look like an eyesore, and gets a task (one that you constantly put off) out of the way.
