Promising review: "I’m 70yearsoldand have arthritis in my hands. I’ve used copper bracelets and other gloves for several years, and they are somewhat helpful, but these gloves seem to do a lot better. They have a tight fit and are very comfortable.They arevery durable, as I wear them while working outside, hunting, fishing, or whatever.The other gloves I’ve had would have been torn and ripped up by now, but these gloves look like I just took them out of the box, and I’ve washed them twice." —Keith Proffer

www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "If you have toddlers, get it — especially if you're on the fence. I needed something for grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and other small fruits and veggies we go through so much. My breakfast was getting cold long before I was done cutting fruit for two toddlers. Most cutters only do one grape or berry, but this one can do several grapes and a small handful of blueberries. We will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it in this house." —Kindle Customer

Watch a TikTok of a mom explain why this tool has been a game changer.
Promising review: "What I liked about this product is how easily it worked. My 3 1/2-year-old granddaughter would try and help me with the red button to get her out of the seatbelt. I have a bad thumb with no strength. I would use a key to press the button while my granddaughter would try to pull up on the strap. It was exhausting, and now, with ease, using the UnbuckleMe product is such a relief. Thank you for your great idea." —Karen Toscano

6. ALittle Green upholstery cleanerso you can tackle the stains and messes that are, unfortunately, a daily occurrence in your house. It's safe to use carpets, car interiors, furniture, and more!
Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations.I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate.I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" —Kathleen Petro

8. A Take-n-Slide medication trackerif you're constantly asking, "Did I take my pills today?" Setting a phone alarm is all well and good, but I can't tell you the number of times I set the alarm, took my medication, and then wondered a few hours later if I did indeed take my meds.
Promising review: "What ageniusproduct. I absolutely love them. If you take the same medication, when you get your new prescription, just pour the pills into the bottle that you placed the tab strip on. It will literally last forever. So much more convenient than the pill boxes." —M C Zamarripa
Get a five-pack from Amazon for $19.99(available in three colors and as a two-pack).
9. AStuul toilet stool systembecause bathroom breaks aren't a stress-free, seamless experience for everyone. The Stuul works just like other bathroom stools, getting your body in a more natural position to go number 2, BUT it has the added benefit of being two individual mini stools that stack, so they take up less room than a bulky stool.
Amazon
Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, atCleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I first got a bamboo Squatty Potty for constipation relief during pregnancy, and it helps!! I have the adjustable one, and it's awesome, though there are a few practical issues with that one. First, this one is more compact, and the two pieces fit together and are more discreet, lighter, and easier to move. It's so light, actually, that I had to get used to using it; it requires having your feet fully centered on the stools, or they will slip off. It easily tucks into a corner and isn't noticeable. The SP sticks out a bit and is easy to trip on, even when pushed fully back, and isn't discreet at all. I like the aesthetic of the Stuul better, though SP is more sturdy and is attractive in it's own way. I do notice the Stuul gets lint/dust, and even soap drips on it, which is noticeable on the black version. I have a dry cleaning brush that cleans it well, though." —Laura B.
Get them from Amazon for $49.95.
10. A pack of slow cooker linersthat'll come in handy if you have a lot of hungry people to feed. With the disposable liners, you can cook different recipes at the same time, reducing your overall cook time *and* saving you from having to wash a huge stack of dishes.

Promising review: "We constantly use our crockpot for easy meals. I'm a teacher and my husband is a firefighter, and it's just easy for our family of five. No real cleanup.

Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So, THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution.

13. A set of sheet holdersfor the folks who are running marathons in their sleep only to wake in the morning with bedsheets that are pretty much everywhere buton the bed. Not convinced? Even if you sleepwalk and SHOOKyour entire mattress, the sheets would still stay put.
Amazon
Promising review: "I have an adjustable base. My issues have always been with the top sheet. They don't stay tucked in, and sheets shift. These didn't catch my eye at first. They looked bulky and cumbersome. All I kept seeing were things I had unsuccessfully used. I gave these a second look and decided to buy them. I've had them on my bed a week now and I'm impressed! NO sheet shifting, and they stay tidy with minimal effort to make the bed. These appear to be sturdy as well. I know they are a little pricey for sheet holders, but these are worth it." —Joni
Get it from Amazon for $69.99.
14. An outlet extenderif your phone charger often pops out of the wall outlet because your bedframe is pushing against it. This adapter has three outlets, so you can push your bed flat against the wall and still plug in the charger.
Amazon
Promising review: "I have been looking for a solution that would allow for a nightstand and also a dresser to be pushed up against a wall even with things plugged into the outlet behind that furniture. I FOUND IT. This wall outlet extender does exactly what it says it will do. I have a fan, clock radio, and watch charger plugged into it and can still move the nightstand right up against the wall. The light on the dresser no longer forces the dresser to be out a couple of inches; it, too, can be pushed right up against the wall, and the cord is not in danger of getting crushed and becoming a fire hazard. A game changer! I will be ordering a few more." —Lynda L.

15. A pet hair rollerbecause you love your fur babies but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!
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." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+(available in three colors).

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face.

After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything, but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists, and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.

20. A dirty dishwasher indicatorif you find yourself thinking, "What's it gonna be today?" when you open your dishwasher. If your household doesn't consistently flip the clean/dirty dishwasher magnets, try this instead! It sits inside your dishwasher, so you know if dishes are clean or dirty depending on whether the container has water in it.
Amazon
Promising review: "I have been looking for a dishwasher done indicator to use on a stainless steel front (no magnets). This is the BOMB. NO moving parts. No flimsy clips. No tape, glue, or magnets. Simply slip it over the edge of the bottom basket, and you are good. The sturdy clip does not flex, so there is no wear and tear. The action of the washer fills up the tube. DONE. The first time you open the door after washing, tip out the tube, and you are ready again. Hooray...something that works." —MRMACHINE of Raleigh

21. Amascara removerbecause you apply it just like mascara and it'll lift even the most stubborn waterproof formulas with ease.
Check out a TikTok of the mascara remover in action.
This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes.
Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser, and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy

Instead of having to toss half the liquid because it'll be flat the next day, just snap on a lid so your bubbles stay bubbly until you're ready to finish them.
Promising review: "Very solid product. It does exactly what it claims to do. It snaps onto any can I have easily, then opens and closes shut again for storage in my fridge. As you can see in my pictures, it’s leakproof when closed. I think it will be a great addition to my kitchen." —w_starling

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 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

A cleverly designedrechargeable electric candle lighterwith a genius bendable neck if you struggle or stress about burning your fingers trying to light a slumped-over wick that's half buried in wax. (Just me??) This is especially great if you have mobility issues or arthritis, as it turns on with a simple switch.
Promising reviews:"I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. I Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S.

28. A handyportable car vacuumthat'll suck up the dirt, gravel, dead leaves, snack crumbs, pet hair, and all the other stuff embedded in your car's carpets. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if you drive daily, your car's carpets are probably surprisingly filthy.
It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle!

Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" —Julia Bright
