1
A nonslip bath rug with an extra-deep pile
Available in four sizes and seven colors.

Promising review:
"I really love this rug ! It is soft, absorbent really beautiful. It feels great on my feet." Amazon customer

2
A stretch slipcover
Available in five sizes and 21 colors.

Promising review:
"The cover fits perfectly as described. There are tabs that tell you where which side needs to be. You can also look at the seams for guidance. It took me about two minutes to make my ugly flower pattern couch look somewhat contemporary. Feels and looks great, best price around." Nikki

3
A pack of sheet suspender straps
Promising review: "my daughter came to stay with me after surgery on her ankle and couldn't put any weight on it for 10 days, had to have it elevated 23 hrs a day. That meant a lot of time in bed and on the sheets. After adjusting the bed to sitting up and down during the day the sheets started to fall down on the top sides. It was adjusting the sheets each time she got up to go to the bathroom. I ordered the bed sheet holders and they worked perfectly, no more sheets falling down! When she left and went home I changed the sheets and applied the sheet holders again to my bed and loved it. Making the bed is so much easier!" Judie Atkins

A handheld electric milk frother
Promising review: "Love this little thing! I have every thing you can think of at home for making coffee and espresso... Well I love the Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew with foam. I set out to make my own. Well I can now make cold foam thanks to this little tool. Love it!" Gav's mama

5
A sunrise alarm clock
Promising review: "This is our first sunrise clock. Getting up in the mornings in Seattle in the Winter is rough, as it's so dark outside and you just want to roll over and go back to sleep. This has helped a lot, we still use our regular alarm (we don't wake up from the light alone), but by then the (artificial) sun is up and it is much easier to wake up completely and hit the shower." Brian of Kenya
6
A set of NoNo Brackets
Promising review: "THESE ARE GENIUS. I hate trying to hang curtain rods. We live in a rental in Hawaii and all of the houses in my neighborhood have these awful hanging blinds with no room for a curtain rod. These brackets made such a huge difference. So easy to install. I seriously can't say enough good things." Leah Hinders

7
A Bissell surface steam cleaner
Promising review: "This product is lightweight so its not a pain to carry around while cleaning. The cord was long enough to stretch across my dining room and kitchen for cleaning. The tank seems small but it allowed for cleaning of my entire dining room area (walls, baseboards, table, windows, everything!) before needing to refill. Super simple to use that even my 5 year old was helping me clean with it in the first 5 minutes! Easily loosened up dirt that has been in windowsills since I was a kid and it just wiped right up! Ive lived in my house for over 20 years and some areas are now cleaner than I ever remember then being before! Definitely recommend this product!" Kaitlyn Wear
8
An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip
Promising review: "After rearranging our bedroom, my fianc and I discovered the only outlet on the wall was right in the middle which happened to be where the bed was placed. We needed plugs for our phones, lamps etc...and hated we had to use a cord that stuck out. No matter how we situated the cord or bed, we were not able to push our mattress against the wall, hence causing the pillows to slide back behind the bed This little gem was the perfect solution. Its ultra sleek and fixed the problem immediately! Very simple to use and install. Id recommend to anyone!" MissRaquel

9
OR, a six-outlet extender
Promising review: "So happy that I bought this beautiful wall charger. It looks much more expensive than what I have paid. The six outlets are so nicely positioned that I can use all of them at the same time. Two USB outputs are ideal for charging our phones. Highly recommend!" Elaine

10
A fast-acting air purifier
It'll even let you know when it's time for a new replacement filter .Promising review: "I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes two or three times daily, and general cleaning I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits' end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! I also enjoy the nightlight. Very helpful without disturbing sick sleepy babies recovering from illness." victoria Mohagen

11
A fluffy throw blanket
Promising review: "I love everything about this blanket. The color is pretty and the texture is soft and elegant and the blanket is large, warm, and lightweight. I will probably buy more of them." Amy Allshouse

12
A Baseboard Buddy
Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" artgirl

13
A BlenderBottle shaker bottle
Promising review: "This has got to be the best $9 I've ever spent. I mix my protein shakes in it without having to touch a blender, and they come out smooth. It takes a couple of seconds at most, it's remarkably easy to clean, and the construction/materials/design's incredible. I even dropped it and the shake didn't spill. I've taken to making iced coffees in it as well. It's great for my physical job where eating a big lunch slows me down and makes me tired. This way I can have a big shake instead. Same amount of calories, and I keep my energy up on my 12-hour shifts. Seriously, I feel like they could easily charge double what they are charging. Scoop this one up and you won't regret it." Amazon customer

14
A multitasking LED alarm clock
Promising review: "Lets be honest. There are tons, and I mean tons, of clock options out there, but the reality is that majority of them are hideous. I wanted a clock that was both functional and looks great. This product is exactly that. I find the second dim level perfect. Bright enough without being blinding. Having 12-hour and 24-hour options is great. The USBs on the side make charging small devices a breeze. Guests are always complimenting the clock and asking where I got it. Highly recommend!" Catherine

15
A jar of TakeRoot
Promising review: "This product is the first rooting hormone Ive ever used & I can confidentially say itll remain the only one. Ive used it on every propagation since I got it & Im still impressed by how quickly the cuttings take root. I no longer have to worry if my perfect little cuttings will make it or not & its a massive relief. Ill be ordering again, soon." Claire


16
A bamboo utensil organizer
Promising review: "This organizer is awesome. For small kitchen drawers this is a must have. It still has room to expand if my drawer was larger. Sturdy and well made." Nancy A Dorris
17
A portable power bank
Promising review: "After we experienced another Texas freeze and were left powerless for three days, I quickly ordered a power bank fir each family member. These were the first ones I ordered. I got two! They charge our phones at least three times on one charge. What a game changer. Theyre slim and convenient. But honestly, their performance is superb. Its so very important to have access to communication to family and friends 24x7. These definitely gave us a peace of mind. Highly recommend." Habibe1313
18
And some Miracle-Gro plant food spikes
Promising review: "These are very easy to use. They work great. I got my plant on clearance cause it was dying. Purchased these and it perked right up. They aren't real thick but they do last a long time. Great value for money." Maurita Salazar

19
A countertop ice maker
Promising review: "I love that it was easy enough to set up...it's not big and bulky fits nicely on the counter next to my refrigerator and it only takes minutes to make new ice cubes. It's also very good that when the red light is on it means that the ice basket is full and that it will not make more until the ice in the basket is removed. I also like that the light comes on to let me know that the water level is low and needs to be filled. As far as the noise level, it is quiet until you hear a click then you hear the cubes falling in the basket which is not an issue for me." Alana Hall
20
A Shark robot vacuum
Promising review: "I absolutely love my Shark robot vacuum. It saves me so much time and works great. With two dogs, three cats, and kids, my floors were always a mess. I run this twice a day and my floors look great, and I haven't had to get my regular vacuum out since I have had it. I have one high pile rug that it may not get all the dog hair out of, but it works wonders on my hardwood floors. Also, I love how it fits in small places like under the bathroom vanity and side tables where my other vacuum could not. My only regret is not buying two of them (one for each floor) when they were on sale. Do yourself a favor and order this!! 10 stars!" Chad Haney

21
A pack of rug grippers
Promising review: "When I first unwrapped these, I was surprised by how sticky they felt just against the skin on my hands. Not 'tape' sticky, but ultra-grippy. I installed six of them along the sides of my runner after running a vacuum on the floor and a lint roller along the bottom of the rug itself. When I first tested it, the rug slid. I thought for sure these wouldnt work and I would come home to a crooked or folded up rug. Surprise!! These little babies settled right onto the hardwood floors and their grippy action is in full effect now. I have roommates, dogs, a handy man was even here today and typically without fail the rug slides or folds up. Not today!! Im going to be buying a half dozen more of these for bathrooms and other rugs!! Just give them a chance to settle!" Chelsea

22
A hearty bottle of Poo-Pourri
Promising review: "One bathroom in an apartment just isn't enough for two adults with healthy colons. Enter Poo-Pourri. It has an amazing scent. It's very fresh and not overpowering, and it isn't synthetic smelling. With most room sprays, you end up just smelling flowery poo. This masks the smell completely. I can walk in the bathroom 30 seconds after my boyfriend and only smell lemon." Allison H

23
A bestselling garlic press
Promising review: "I have had it for over a year with no problems. No sticking of the handles, no rust, easy to clean. I use it daily if not multiple times a day as I cook meals for two other households as well, so honestly at times it gets used 15x a day when cooking up monthly meals." Cymbeline
24
A 10-in-1 eight-blade vegetable slicer
Promising review: "I absolutely love this chopper! It made chopping a BREEZE! I highly recommend! Amazon customer
25
A toy hammock
Promising review: "This is perfect! My daughter loves that she can still reach her animals and as a mom that likes a tidy room, this is perfect." Nichole Cobbett

26
A teensy mini waffle maker
Promising review: "At first, I laughed and thought it was too small to really do anything. I was so wrong it's an amazing little waffle maker!! Can cook almost anything on it! I have cooked eggs, waffles, and French toast." S PETERSON
27
Lastly, a pack of sticky stakes
Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time, I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately, I added a new houseplant, plus repotted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" Megan

Before You Go

Items To Grab If Your Produce Always Goes Bad Before You Eat It
Give your leafy greens space(01 of13)
Open Image Modal
You know the drill: You buy those square boxes packed full of spring mix or spinach only to have it turn to brown slime. Leafy greens over-ripen (and then go bad) more quickly when they're packed together without air and something to absorb the condensation, according to Rece Hogerheide, the executive chef at the Daxton Hotel in Birmingham, Michigan. He recommends keeping your greens in larger containers, letting them breathe and putting a paper towel at the bottom to soak up extra water.

Promising review: "I was having the hardest time keeping my veggies fresh for longer than a few days. Once I got this it kept my asparagus fresh and edible longer than a week. Definitely a must have!" Tanya

Embrace air-tight clear, stackable containers(02 of13)
Open Image Modal
As noted above, keeping produce in store containers can make them physically go bad quicker. However, from a more mental perspective, Dr. Charissa Chamorro , a New York City-based clinical psychologist, said that keeping fruits and veggies in their containers in the fridge makes them less enticing, and therefore you may not think to grab them letting them rot in the back as you reach for a pantry snack. She recommends giving your produce a wash and doing any sort of peeling and chopping right after grocery shopping. Then, you can store the washed and chopped produce in clear, stackable containers. "If you can see it and it doesnt take any extra prep work or planning, youre that much more likely to use it, Chamorro previously told HuffPost .

Promising review: "I bought this for my daughter. She's able to store any food items without any stains or and residue left behind. The airtight food storage are just an extra plus as not only do you snap and push down but they also have clamps to keep food more fresh and also prevent rancidity. These make her so much more brilliant ideas for organizing kitchen cabinets and make her fridge look great when putting her fruit and meals inside for the kids to be able to grab with no issues and it's easy for the kids to microwave meals."

Be diligent with meal planing and grocery lists(07 of13)
Open Image Modal
Though it may seem tedious, being organized with what you're cooking for the week and what you need to pick up at the store will likely keep you from forgetting about that sad head of broccoli you just found in the crisper. If you can buy the exact produce you need, you'll be sure to use it. Keeping a running grocery list like this one can ensure you're not double-buying celery when you already have some.

Promising review: "This is perfect if you struggle with food going bad or not getting used in time it is perfect for organizing!" Claudia Chaparro

Keep a running list of what's in the fridge(08 of13)
Open Image Modal
Another great option is keeping a list of everything that's currently in your fridge. This way, you won't find yourself standing in front of the open refrigerator trying to remember what you do and don't have. If you see cucumber and tomato on the white board, you know what's in your fridge and you're more likely to use it.

Promising review: "I really love this little whiteboard. I put it on my fridge and it adhers perfect with a good strong hold. I use it to write out our weekly meals, keep track of groceries we need to restock and things I need to get done for the week. It's made me more organized without a bunch of random pads of paper. I didn't need markers but I like the 3 these came with which stick on the fridge as well. Also comes with an eraser. Didn't know I'd be so excited about a silly little whiteboard." LLV

Let your produce rest in a cabinet hammock(09 of13)
Open Image Modal
If you struggle with object permanence and completely forget about things that aren't in your direct line of sight, your produce may go bad because you just forget you have it.

Promising review: "This is so cute and super convenient for keeping fruit off the counter in our small apartment kitchen! Highly recommend!" Amazoniac

Have a centerpiece-worthy fruit bowl(10 of13)
Open Image Modal
If an old-school fruit bowl is more your style, this eye-catching metal option still lets you see all your food so you won't have one rotten lemon in the bottom of the bowl.

Promising review: "This was just what we need for safely keeping our fruits on the counter. It is constructed to allow just enough airflow to keep the fruit from going bad too quickly, and it is slim enough to easily put away in a cabinet when unused. Use this and get a separate hook for your bananas for a great combination." Glenn J Mentel

Turn sad produce into a yummy smoothie(11 of13)
Open Image Modal
When in doubt, make a smoothie. You may not feel compelled to eat a handful of softer berries or a riper banana, but throw them in a smoothie with some peanut butter and yogurt and you're good to go.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this blender. Bought it to make smoothies and shakes so that I can eat more fruits/veggies. I use it every day using either fresh or frozen fruits. Its powerful enough to blend frozen fruits quickly. Would recommend this for anyone changing their diets or using it for their existing work out recipes." Jaime Valdez
(credit:Amazon)
Or squeeze out the good stuff with a juicer(12 of13)
Open Image Modal
If smoothies aren't your thing, you may find that juicing at home helps you make use of produce that's on the brink of going bad. When you need to use up some lemons or a couple of oranges, you may be able to save the juice in an airtight container in your fridge or freezer longer than the actual fruit itself.

Promising review: "This juicer is amazing, fits perfect on a counter top or wherever. Easy clean up. Very powerful makes a full 64 ozs of juice just add whatever fruit or vegetables you are juicing for the day. Love it recommend it for first time juicers starting out like myself!" Consumer Shopper
