25 Target Must-Haves For Busy Parents

A positively ingenious set of Infantino wrist rattles that'll save you from picking up that rattle yet again for your baby who hasn't *grasped* grasping yet. Just attach the rattles around the wrist or the ankles like a bracelet and let your baby discover the magic of their rattling hands and feet while you take that well-earned deep breath.
Promising review: "Super cute multi-functional baby toy with soft colors and teething accessories." —Brittany bPrice: $6.99 for two rattles
A lightweight and sturdy step stool that is 1,000 times better than lifting your kid to help them wash their hands. Unlike wooden ones, this step won't hurt them if they trip onto it, and it's light enough to move it around when they get older — saving you time and energy.
I have this stool and love it. When my oldest started standing independently, I got a decorative, oh-so-cute wooden one. I underestimated how clumsy toddlers are and how often they fall. She'd trip over her feet in the bathroom and get a huge bruise or scrape herself on my adorable footstool. Finally, I said "NEVER AGAIN" and bought this one. What was I waiting for?? This one is higher, lighter, and easier to clean and I do not miss the princess ballerina footstool. Plus, my kids easily grab it when they need to reach something, and I only need to involve myself if I hear a crash. Glorious. Promising review: "My 3-year-old uses this stepping stool constantly. It's great for when he wants to wash his hands, get something from the fridge, turn on/off the light switch, or use the toilet. It's very handy." —Love FPPrice: $15
And a pair of Munchkin faucet extenders to help your toddler feel a taste of independence and help save your hands from quadrupling the washing. These sink extenders help your little one easily reach the water without needing to be hoisted up like a sack of potatoes.
BuzzFeed editor and mom-of-two Heather Braga has this for her 3-year-old. She said, "We're working on potty training my toddler, which comes with the added routine of constant handwashing. He's itching to be independent in all ways (yay) so I knew it was time to add these to my cart. They slip over the two very different faucets in my bathrooms and have truly made it easier than ever for my son to wash his hands."Promising review: "I have two toddlers who are potty training. This has been a wonderful addition to our sinks! Don't have to juggle between carrying your little one and washing their hands at the same time!" —K1525Price: $10.99 for a two-pack
A compact, portable Jool Baby travel potty seat that can make an adult seat the perfect size for little potty trainers. Save your back from holding them up onto the seat in public restrooms so they don't fall in because the bare minimum here means no peeing toddler clinging to you and bringing your face inches from a public toilet.
This amazing potty seat comes with a travel bag and can be quickly and easily wiped clean with an antibacterial wipe. It suctions onto the toilet, keeping your kid both physically and mentally secure. Promising review: "This product has been a game changer for getting my toddler to use the potty in public. He is smaller, so normal potties are intimidating to him. I highly recommend this seat for any little kids!!! So easy to attach and fold up. Each to clean after, too. Such a brilliant product." —KatePrice: $14.99 (available in three colors)
A bottle of detangling spray for turning morning cryfests into a quick and easy process. This leave-in conditioner is hypoallergenic, all-natural, and gentle — plus it smells amazing.
I recently switched my fine-haired daughter over to this leave-in conditioner, and we both love it! The citrus vanilla scent is SO good, and it actually works. I can spray this on wet hair after a shower or on a knot in dry hair, and it's equally great. Promising review: "This stuff smells fantastic and works like magic! My kids have long, wavy hair, and this has become a part of their hair care routine because it's so amazing. It detangles, and the good smell lasts in their hair." —Mama KesPrice: $7.79
A formula-mixing pitcher, aka an absolute game changer for avoiding gas and getting formula ready, like, ~yesterday.~ Not having premade formula while you have a hangry baby should be low on your list of effort you want to use. And there's nothing like making an entire batch before bed and easily pouring a bottle when you're still half asleep.
The formula comes out clump-free, can be made up to 24 hours in advance, and has no bubbles, which can lead to gas. If you're a nursing mama, it can also re-mix breast milk. Promising review: "I love this pitcher; it is the perfect size. Easy to use so that you can store formula for the whole day, and it removes air bubbles in the milk. If you have a baby registry, make sure to add this gift." —RhondaPrice: $10.49 (available in three colors)
A cool mist humidifier that'll help soothe when your kiddo comes down with a cold and hopefully get them back up and running sooner. I don't know about you, but I have precisely zero minutes to waste on yet another virus my kids bring home.
So many people swear by humidifiers, but I had never used one before having a baby. If you're a skeptic like I was, I can verify that getting a humidifier has been so helpful, especially now that my kids are a bit older. Whenever I see the first sign of a sniffle, I pull the humidifier out and see dramatic improvement when I try to grit my teeth and hold on until it passes. Promising review: "This humidifier has been a blessing! Our other one got wet so we ordered this. I was skeptical because of the size, but it actually works great!! I love the different selections you get for what type of speed you want for your humidity and light." —JayPrice: $39.99 (available in two colors)
A super convenient Ubbi grape cutter to take all of the work out of minimizing choking hazards. Quickly insert the grape or tomato and slice it into a safer size — especially when you have several young kids or are prepping for a party or play date. One less thing to worry about!
Price: $9.99
A snack storage solution so they can quickly grab their treats with zero fuss and zero wasted time.
Promising review: "I have type 1 diabetes, and I use this as my snack tray when my blood sugar drops. So now I can easily see what I have, and my family can get something quickly for me. This could be used for so many different things. Great product!" —mzmullisPrice: $19.99
And a set of clear fridge organizers that'll make preparing meals and snacks easy and efficient rather than chaotic and frustrating. Keep your essentials at the ready and just watch how easy you'll make it look.
Promising review: "Great addition to our fridge! Helps keep our fridge more organized and makes it look better, too! Great thick material. Very easy to clean, too!" —SamyasPrice: $25 for a four-piece set
A touchscreen toaster so they can ~independently~ figure out exactly how they want their toast without figuring out what the number dial actually means (I mean — do any of us REALLY?). Just touch the image of what you're toasting, touch the image of how dark you want it, and enjoy the benefits of a morning that doesn't include scraping char off of toast.
Promising review: "This toaster is amazing. The countdown clock and toast color options are so handy. Makes perfect toast every time!" —Oswald LuciusPrice: $59.99 (originally $299.99)
A Shark handheld vacuum to quickly pick up crumbs under the table or high chair without getting on your hands and knees with the dustbin. Save yourself time, energy, and effort by quickly sucking up crumbs and enjoying the feeling of walking near the table without Cheerios sticking to your feet.
For the longest time, I used a dustpan and broom to get my kids' crumbs after meals. It wasn't that big of a deal, but it was annoying. I finally decided to treat myself to a handheld vacuum, and I do not regret anything except for waiting so long to get one. It's one of those really small things that really did make one part of parenting so much less work. Now that my baby is a big kid, she happily vacuums up after meals that are still messy years later. Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this little vacuum! It's so easy to use — my 2-year-old, who likes to help, can even use this vacuum. It's powerful and the attachments are easy to exchange. It is bagless and easy to empty; you can charge it easily from any outlet. I have a long-haired cat who sheds a lot and this vacuum works well for pet hair." —StruPrice: $69.99 (originally $99.99)
A fan-favorite Skylight calendar for keeping all of your family appointments in plain sight. Not only does it automatically sync to your calendars, you can set up chore charts for your family members and keep lists all in one place.
This calendar does use a subscription for a wider range of functions, but the calendar, chore chart, and lists (aka the most important) don't require anything extra. That being said, it's a huge time saver since it connects to Google Calendar, iCloud Calendar, and Outlook Calendar to keep everyone's schedule in one place. Promising review: "This literally does it all! There is also an app that goes along with it so you can see your calendar on the go & it can be separately accessed by your spouse or kids as well! The chore charts and reward stars are great for kids. The meal planning calendar is such a great tool. Being able to have everyone's schedule all in one place is just great. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" —ADPrice: $279.99 (originally $319.99)
A shoe organizer to keep footwear front and center rather than *maybe-possibly-under-the-bed-will-you-just-find-it??*. This low-profile storage solution can keep things organized and out of the way and shave off precious minutes from getting out of the house.
Promising review: "No more messy entryway whenever we have guests. This is a very nice piece. Sturdy and easy to assemble. Happy with this purchase." —ken210Price: $102.99
A document holder AND backpack station that can hold documents, backpacks, and a sweater without completely gunking up your entryway. Each kid can have a station because you do NOT need to search for the backpack and homework folder as you're trying to get everyone out for school.
Each organizer can hold up to 25 pounds, so if you have middle or high-school-aged kids, it might not work if they keep heavy textbooks in their backpacks. Try something more heavy-duty to clean up the entryway and keep things organized. Promising review: "This was perfect for our preschool homework station! Kept homework in the pocket and hung backpacks on the hooks! So functional yet still very modern and sleek." —JosiPrice: $24
An easy-to-use toy storage solution if the very idea of packing up a vast array of toys is exhausting in and of itself. Simply pile toys into the mat, gather them, and collect up to nine pounds in one beautiful scoop. Even the youngest toddlers can scoop and dump — because you have no time to waste picking up hundreds of tiny toys.
Price: $53.99 (originally $83.99)
A Bissell vacuum/mop combo that'll make your old bucket and mop system completely obsolete. This machine will vacuum and mop at the same time, keeping your floors squeaky clean and allowing you to forget there was ever a time when you would wipe the crumbs off your feet on your pant leg.
Promising review: "It is a great product, especially for people who don't have time to waste. The product is easy to use, it cleans and mops simultaneously, you don't have to switch from vacuum to mop, and it sanitizes. The first time I used it, I could see the difference on my floors." —SashaPrice: $179 (originally $229.99)
A gentle alarm clock for your older kids that doubles as a night-light and an OK-to-wake clock for your youngins'. The light gradually gets brighter to help wake them up more peacefully than you in a "GET UP OR WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE" panic.
Promising review: "I use this as my alarm clock. The light feature that turns on 15 minutes prior to my set alarm time is wonderful! It slowly gets brighter, and I am always awake before the alarm sounds. It's nice to not wake up the whole house. The night-light feature options are very pretty and nice to have just before going to sleep." —JBPrice: $30
A magnetic responsibility chart so the ~responsibility~ of getting ready in the morning doesn't land fully on your busy shoulders.
This chart comes with 92 magnets for personal, communal, and social skills and a dry-erase marker for any goal that might not be included in the provided magnets. If you have a non-reader, check out this simplified version for the morning and evening routines!Promising review: "A probably one of my favorite purchases from target. Really helps my toddler to understand responsibilities and keeps us on track for the day!" —JessicadrakePrice: $25.49
An electric toothbrush because absolutely no one has any time for cavities. This toothbrush comes with an app to help ensure your kids are brushing those mouthbones rather than taking a swipe and calling it a day.
Promising review: "Daughter loved that she could choose the design on her toothbrush. Cleans teeth very well. The app helps her stay constant with brushing for the full length of time. Really happy with the product. Works better than other electric toothbrushes we have tried in the past." —TargetMomPrice: $34.99 (available in pink and blue)
A car seat buckle release tool that'll protect your nails *and* your patience from how surprisingly difficult unbuckling is. Plus — when they're older — they can learn to unbuckle themselves, ensuring that you are not burying your face in the drop-off line as you get out of the car to unbuckle your kid. The car seat buckle desperately needs to be one less thing you fight with.
Promising review: "Liked the colors. Bought one for each car. My daughter can now unbuckle herself with this which helps speed up the drop off line at school." —EricaPrice: $28.99 for a two-pack (available in two color combos)
A backseat storage bag to store toys, snacks, or whatever else they need as you're chauffeuring them to all of their practices. If you're on the go often, having some snacks always at the ready is going to save a lot of energy.
If you're keeping this in your car full-time, only pack snacks that won't melt. Promising review: "Love how this can fit on the seat of my car or on the floor. Love the pockets on the sides that allow me to put items that I need but don't want my twins getting into. Fits so much stuff and perfect for a road trip." —TwinmamaPrice: $15
And a portable trash bin that'll help keep tissues, snack wrappers, and other garbage from filling up the backseat. Just stash the trash, empty it, and enjoy the freedom of not having to chase down snack wrappers that fall out when you open the car door.
I keep a small trash can with me, and I am always surprised at how quickly it fills up. Luckily, the trash can fills up instead of my backseat. It's so easy to empty while I'm at a gas station or quickly before I head out with the kids, and it's saved so much mess. Promising review: "I love this trash can for my car. I have one in each vehicle. Its small and can easily be squished out of the way if needed. This is the first trash can my kids use in the car." —ChrisPrice: $10
A visual timer to help make transitions easier for everyone. Since kids can't tell time, "five more minutes" doesn't mean much. With this handy timer, they can watch the colored portion get smaller and be less shocked when time is up. If you have a kid who struggles with transitions (like mine!) or doesn't understand any time but NOW, this timer is for you because no one has time for a meltdown.
Price: $35.04
And a foot massager because at the end of the day, you deserve a little relaxation too, darn it. You might as well give those dogs a little rest — because tomorrow's busy day is already calling.
Price: $109.99

Teachers, Tell Us How Parents Should Get Involved

As a former high school English teacher, I can list all the ways I thought I'd see parents get involved in their child's education — and all the ways it rarely happened. It's unfortunately not an uncommon experience for educators. So I'm asking teachers (past and present) in our BuzzFeed Community to share ways they wish parents took on a more active role in their child's education. Maybe you, like me, used to teach English literature, and found yourself sending progress reports home regularly for students falling behind. However, no one seemed to respond until report cards hit their mailbox. Then, several parents wanted to know what extra credit opportunities could be made available for their kid who was missing dozens of assignments. Maybe you're an elementary school teacher, and one of your students keeps getting physical with others. Not only is it flat-out mean, but it's also a distraction in the classroom. You've tried to host guided conversations with the parents about techniques that could curb the behavior at home, but the parents refuse to believe it's happening at all. Or, maybe there's a student in your class who is never IN class. Their parent pulls them out of school for vacations monthly. And while you love that the kid is getting to live their best life, it's very hard to keep them on track, and you wish their parents could at least keep them up to date on their studies while abroad. Whatever the case may be, we want to hear about it. Teachers, tell us how you wish parents got more involved in their child's education in the comments. Or, if you'd like to remain anonymous, use the Google form below. Your response could be featured in an upcoming post.

30 Practical Walmart Items Adults Will Inevitably Need

An outlet-concealing extension cord, so you don't have to crawl behind the furniture every time you need to plug in your phone. This cleverly designed gadget will put three outlets within arm's reach and eliminate the eyesore of having a bunch of cords lying around. I've got these in my apartment, and they make it look so much tidier. Promising review: "Great slim outlet to put behind my bed for the table lamp. Works great." —MosesPrice: $21.95+ (available in two lengths) A spin scrubber that'll help you clean the house from top to bottom without giving yourself tennis elbow trying to get out stubborn stains. From the stove to the shower, this gadget is about to make cleaning a breeze. It comes with nine different cleaning heads so that you can match the right tool to the task at hand — and avoid any cross-contamination issues. After all, you aren't going to want to use the same pad you use on your sneakers to wash the stove. Promising review: "I just took this home today and cleaned my shower with it. GAME CHANGER! I dread cleaning the shower but this made it a lot easier." —NicolePrice: $29.98 A cutting board prep station so genius, it'll have you channeling your inner Gordon Ramsay (minus the yelling, hopefully). With four insertable trays, it'll be a breeze to chop and organize your veggies like a pro. Oh, and the real MVP? One tray doubles as both a strainer and a grater, depending on how you flip it. This is part of BuzzFeed's Tasty collection, at Walmart. Promising review: "I love my new Tasty cutting board prep station. The originality, the thoughtfulness, and all the extras that come with it are awesome. So, if you desire a cutting board that is a cut above (no pun intended) the other standard cutting boards out there, this is the one I would recommend." —BarbaraPrice: $8.88 An over-the-sink strainer for anyone whose current straining method feels like a high-stakes balancing act involving a scalding pot, a too-small strainer, and the ever-present risk of losing half your pasta to the sink. This expandable stainless steel colander rests securely over your sink, so you can confidently pour without the stress (or the accidental noodle casualties). Dinner just got way easier — and way less dramatic. Promising review: "If you do a lot of cooking that requires any straining, this item is just what you need. It leaves your hands free from everything else that you have to do. It fits perfectly over most sinks, and the liquid goes right down the drain." —LauraSPrice: $16.99 (originally $18.99) A filtered showerhead to help filter out the chemicals, minerals, and heavy metals in your water that might be drying out your hair and skin. Plus, having a handheld head means you can clean your shower without the hassle of trying to throw buckets of water at the tile without getting it all over the bathroom. Promising review: "Nice amount of settings, great pressure, and softer water." —MaryPrice: $38 Pantene Pro-V Volume and Body Shampoo, because everyone and their mother seems to be raving about its deep-cleaning abilities on socials. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Marie Zubritsky favors this shampoo for its ability to break down oils, sebum, and dirt. "It's a superior product for those with oily or fine hair looking to reduce grease and add some lift and volume," she explains. Btw, Dr. Zubritsky advises that people with dry hair or scalp steer clear of this product, as it may cause further drying and irritation. Promising review: "This is the only one I've tried that actually works. My hair looks fluffier and the thinning areas are not as obvious." —RobertaPrice: $5.97 (originally $29.99) A laundry cart for anyone who waits until they're down to their last pair of socks before tackling laundry day. Skip the chaos of deciphering 50 clothing tags at once — this cart lets you sort your laundry as you go. Separate your delicates, normal garments, and linens into their own bins so that when it's finally time to wash, you're already halfway done. Promising review: "This has got to be the very best laundry sorter I have ever purchased. Size and color were great. All in all, it's the absolute best." —kennethPrice: $42.99 (available in two colors) A stud finder, because you'll use it more often than you think. This model is nothing more than a heavy-duty magnet, making it much more accurate — and a whole lot less annoying — than sensor-based models. Just drag it over the wall until the magnet attaches to one of the screws or nails in the stud. And it stays on your wall while you hang your item which means no drawing on the wall. Promising review: "I bought this due to a recommendation online when I was frustrated with a Franklin stud finder. Most stud finders don't really work. The idea of this thing is simple: studs on walls are used to hold up drywall and other stuff, so there must be nails and screws. This is a powerful magnet that finds those nails and screws. No more worrying about getting a false positive! No more guessing why the finder is positive in one area but not another you thought was right! Best purchase ever for DIY work." —YoshiPrice: $9.97 A portable water flosser, if having the dentist scold you again for not having flossed, makes you feel like a child. Spraying your teeth with a strong but gentle stream of water is so much less painful and gross than shoving a string into your gums — you can even fill it with mouthwash to tackle two dental hygiene tasks at once. Promising review: "Was recommended by my dentist. I've seen major improvement days later with the brightness of my teeth and my gums. For a person like me who does not like to floss often, this is amazing, and I'm very, very impressed. Please talk to your dentist first about this product or other water floss products so you know what is best for your teeth and gums, because everyone is different." —ShaleekaJayPrice: $19.47 A damp duster that actually picks up and holds dust instead of just flinging it into the air like other dusting tools. Seeing them in action in TikTok demos is W-I-L-D. You really can swipe even the thickest of grime off your sinks, baseboards, mirrors, you name it. Promising review: "Are you kidding me? The BEST way to dust. I just use this for the first time last night, and I could not stop dusting everything. This is the only way to dust. I've used sprays, paper towels, and dusting wands for years, and all that does is throw dust back up into the air, aggravating my allergies. This is an absolute game-changer, and I will never use another product for dusting every single surface in my house." —LaurenPrice: $3.98 A vanity organizer if you've basically got enough products to open up a Sephora and are sick of turning your bathroom drawers into an excavation site every time you can't find your go-to foundation. With compartments for all your must-haves, this organizer keeps everything neat, visible, and ready to grab. Promising review: "Very cute. Can't wait to see it with all the brushes I bought." —Walmart customerPrice: $16.95+ (available in two shapes) A 2025 planner to finally get your year together. It not only has plenty of space for planning and task prioritization — it also grounds you with journaling prompts and guided activities. The included stickers keep things fun, and the internal pocket is perfect for stashing all those random scraps of paper you can't deal with right now but definitely need to handle later. Promising review: "The layout is beautiful and allows me to be creative and interactive with the pages. The stickers add even more fun to the planner." —anonymousPrice: $16.82 A dip powder nail kit if you hate having naked nails but also hate spending hundreds of dollars per month at the salon. The kit costs less than a polish change and yet, reviewers say their DIY manis last weeks. This set comes with brush-on gel, a nail file, a manicure stick, an activator, a dip powder, 20 white tips, 20 natural tips, a dip tray, and a sponge. Promising review: "This really was so easy! Stayed on perfect, just like the nail salon, I swear. I was at a wedding and didn't want to pay tons of money for nails, and these really worked perfectly. Stayed on for almost two weeks, just like the salon nails! DEFINITELY will purchase it again! And I still have some left to do more nails!" —TaylorPrice: $12.97 A dishwasher cleaner, because as much as we'd like to live in the delusion that we don't need to clean something that itself cleans, it's time to face the fact that dishwashers need to be cleaned at least once a month for hard-water spots, buildup, food, and even mold to keep it working well. These packets make doing so as easy as pouring one into your empty dishwasher and running a normal cycle. Promising review: "I was close to calling a dishwasher-repair company or getting a new one because the dishes were coming out spotty and a little dirty no matter what I did. I found this product online and bought it; after ONE use, the dishwasher is working again! I love it. There is no strong chlorine smell or anything, either. Great product! Try it!" —MjPrice: $7.97 for a 4-pack And, on the same note, a four-pack of washing machine cleaner packets if your laundry hasn't been smelling all that great as of late. Pour one of these into the detergent drawer once a month, then run a hot-water cycle to get rid of residue, grime, and buildup that keep your machine from working to its full potential. Promising review: "I tried all the other brands with no luck. Then, I tried Tide and followed their instructions instead of Electrolux's. Package says use longest cycle and hottest water. It worked great! Even the Electrolux repair man was shocked. You won't regret using this product." —LoyalcustomerPrice: $7.92 A two-pack of cereal keepers because, well, if you insist on eating Froot Loops for breakfast every morning, you might as well eat fresh Froot Loops. Reviewers also use these containers for storing rice, pasta, snacks, and more. Promising review: "I absolutely love these 24-cup cereal keepers — I have six of them! They are perfect for storing just about any food item, not just cereal. The size is ideal for keeping large quantities fresh, and the airtight seal ensures everything stays crisp and dry. I also appreciate how easy they are to stack, which helps save space in my pantry. These containers are sturdy, versatile, and a great addition to any kitchen. Highly recommend." —TdubPrice: $10.97 An 8-cup cold brew maker for anyone who can't finish a cup of drip before it's too tepid to be tasty. With this, you can brew enough coffee for the entire week simply by steeping coarsely ground beans overnight. Say goodbye to wasted coffee, that counter-space-hogging coffee machine, and, most importantly, subpar coffee. Price: $14.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors) A 45-piece tool set, so you don't have to call Dad whenever you want to hang something on the walls. This set has everything you need to keep your home in good shape, including a cordless screwdriver, a hammer, a measuring tape, and an assorted fastener kit. Promising review: "This is a great gift to give newlyweds, a college student, or anyone else starting out. These tools cover the basic tasks needed around the home: hanging pictures, measuring, etc. The case makes it easy to organize and store the tools. No more rummaging through a kitchen drawer to find what you need!" —RebeccaPrice: $29.88 A power bank for those of us who can't for the life of us keep our phone charged. Honestly, if I don't take mine when I leave the house, I'm just asking for trouble. This one holds about three full smartphone charges, so you don't even need to remember to charge it every time you use it. Promising review: "Its 3A output can charge most portable electronic devices from dead to full in 30 minutes or less — phones, earbuds, small speakers, etc. I work in a factory with loud volumes that drain my speaker's battery quickly, so I needed something to recharge my portable speaker fast during my 15-minute meal breaks. The Belkin does exactly that! Plus, it holds several charge cycles, so you don't have to recharge the Belkin after every few uses like most portable power packs." —MauricePrice: $22.99 (originally $29.95) A 50-pack of hook-and-loop cable ties to get your desk in order. There's nothing more aggravating than having to untangle a nest of wires just to realize that the one you're looking for isn't even in that drawer. Even if you think you've got a smart hack for tying cords, this is undoubtedly neater and less likely to result in a knot that bends the wires. Promising review: "These are a great value. I've been using my first set of 50 for several months without any problems with fraying loops or edges or with damage to the hooks. Having a mix of short and medium-length cable ties helps for different situations. I no longer have a tangled mess of cables in my computer bag." —Mr361Price: $5.47 for a 50-pack A silk pillowcase, because less friction means better-looking hair and skin. The zip enclosure on this one is super convenient if your pillow always ends up half-nude when you wake up. Promising review: "Upon first use, I could see an improvement in my hair and skin. I no longer look like a disheveled MESS when I wake up! I think the silk helps me sleep better, too!" —JGreyPrice: $24.97+ (available in two colors and also in two packs) A lap desk because it's time to give up on trying to get yourself to sit at your actual desk — we both know you're gonna end up working from the couch anyway. Promising review: "I love this desk. Everything fits perfectly on it." —DianaPrice: $34.99+ (originally $39.99; available in nine colors) A three-pack of dryer balls, because fabric softener is low-key ruining your stuff. The soft feeling is actually just a coating that degrades fabric over time. Dryer balls, on the other hand, gently rub and fluff fabric to loosen up stiff fibers. That fluffing action also allows for better air circulation, ensuring even, faster drying and way less static. Promising review: "These are amazing! Good price, and they have noticeably reduced the amount of dry time needed for each load (the total reduction seems to depend on the fabric). There is no smell and I have never seen any fuzz left on my clothes or linens (even dark loads). After two weeks of daily use, they continue to work as well as day one." —GerardoPrice: $9.98 A setting spray to lock in your look for your long night out. While a lot of setting sprays can be drying, this one has glycerin to help your skin stay hydrated. Promising review: "I love this setting spray. It's perfect for the summer or honestly any season. My makeup looks fresh and stays in place all day. It has a natural skin like look to it. I always get compliments on my makeup and that's because it's all drugstore products! I highly recommend. Give it a try! I switched from the Elf Micro Mist Matte Setting Spray to this Milani Setting Spray, and I don't regret it." —BiancaPrice: $15.97 A laundry and carpet stain remover because sometimes saving money is as simple as keeping your stuff in good shape for as long as possible. Promising review: "As a mom of four kiddos six years old and under, I've used this stain remover on everything from newborn poop blowouts, blackberries, blood, grass, and dirt stains. There have been very few stains that could not get out with Tide rescue! It's the only stain remover I use because it beats everything else out there!" —RebekahPrice: $4.97 A Wi-Fi range extender to stretch your network across your entire house. Plug it into a wall socket in the area that's getting spotty coverage, and you'll have a much better connection. A dental water additive for dogs because you barely take care of your own teeth, so there's no way you're brushing your dog's as often as you should. Just add a splash to their water bowl and boom — fresher breath, cleaner teeth, and less guilt every time they yawn in your face. It's basically mouthwash for dogs, minus the minty sting and the need to explain what fluoride is to a very confused golden retriever. Promising review: "Our Dachshund's breath had begun to stink terribly as she matured from a puppy. I asked her veterinarian what to do about it and after a thorough teeth and mouth exam revealed no reason for the problem she recommended this product. After the first day using this in Dixie's water dish, I could tell a big difference and she has had fresh breath ever since! 😁" —Medic236Price: $6.58+ (available in two sizes) A microwave pasta cooker that understands you don't have the bandwidth to boil water after a long day. This thing lets you cook, strain, and serve all in one container without making you worry that you'll fall asleep with the burner on. Promising review: "I wasn't expecting this thing to be as amazing as it is, it makes super good noodles super fast, and I never have to worry about the water hurting me when I strain, cuz it doesn't happen! Super tough, works like a charm!" —AveryPrice: $14.97 A dinnerware set because, sweetie, it's time to stop eating off cutting boards and paper towels. No need for anything fancy — just a nice and extensive enough set that you don't need to sprint out to buy paper plates 10 minutes before your dinner guests come over. Promising review: "I love this set of dishes. Such a great deal for the price! The quality completely surpasses the price point. They are super sturdy. I love the matte finish. It makes them look so beautifully rustic. I'll probably be ordering another set." —ElainaPrice: $29.76+ (available in two colors and a three-pack) A clothing steamer if you quite simply do not have space for an ironing board, nor the patience for the aggravating (and slightly stressful) process of ironing. Promising review: "This simple, low-cost device works amazingly well. I bought a sport coat from amazon that arrived very wrinkled and had Walmart deliver me the steamer on the same day. By evening, I was able to wear the sport coat, and it looked like it was professionally done!" —JamesPrice: $22.24 Need ingredients for all your new recipes?
