Puracy is a family-owned small biz based in Texas that sells plant-based cleaning products!

Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long pre-soak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer

The brand says the fish will continuously clean for about 30 days so it's recommended to change it every month!

Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew- and mold-free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine

Get it from Amazon for $5.29.

Promising review: "Saw this on TikTok and I honestly absolutely love it. I use it to keep my drawer organizers from sliding around. This stuff is amazing and I wish I had known about it forever ago." —Abby

Get it from Amazon for $12.93.

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. Pulled out the oven to find a horror story...got that all cleaned up (very satisfying) then put these lil' things in. They blend so well it just looks like something that should have been installed from the beginning. No more crumbs/liquids/grease getting down the sides of the oven. Once you start seeing how much is there for you to wipe up you realize just how much was falling in between!" —Stacy Dereich

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in four sizes and three colors and multipacks).

Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in eight styles).

Hustle & Sew is a small biz based in Saint Helens, Oregon that sells handmade goods you can opt to get personalized!

Promising review: "Great item, catches all the drips! I requested an off center hole for my faucet and it turned out perfect. Highly recommend this shop!" —Ellen Lucas

Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in six colors and four sizes).

Promising review: "Genius!! Why did it take me so long to find these? I was looking for a solution to hide straps in a racerback tank but these straps do so much more than just that. Unlike the round clips that pull straps tightly to the center of your back, these straps lie flat and they have just enough give to allow the bra to still fit right and feel comfortable. Moreover, they can be used to keep bra straps from falling down all day!!! Such a great product." —MsChris

Get a set of three from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in nine color combinations).

Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members and boy am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" —JMilwaukee

Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in three colors).

Beautiful Views is a veteran-owned small biz based in Pickens, South Carolina that sells indoor window gardens and hanging plant shelves!

Promising reviews: "I ordered two shelves and they look fantastic in our sunroom windows. I love that they both provide a bit of privacy screening and, because of the acrylic shelves, allow a lot of light into the room." —Jan Fransen

"I am absolutely OBSESSED with these shelves. I now have two of the 3-shelf no trim mount block shelves and am likely to order more in the future. They look exactly the same in person as they do on the website, are super easy to install (and the instructions are VERY clear and simple), are sturdy/hold a fair amount of weight, and the customer service is fantastic. I just can't say enough about this product and this company." —Kaleigh Schaal

Get it from Beautiful Views on Etsy for $66.60+ (originally $74, available in three sizes and three mounting options).

Promising review: "Who knew that one needs an accurate way to measure soil moisture levels? I saw a gardening expert using one of these, and it clicked. Earlier this summer I asked a friend why so many plants die so easily, and she said the number one problem is over-watering. Well, no more. I've only had this for a month, but my plants are looking perky and happy. So far this appears to be accurate, and I now feel more confident investing in more houseplants. Very easy to use, and no special care required." —empower7

Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in three colors).

My colleague Ciera Velarde loves this stuff. Here's what she has to say about it:

"I've had keratosis pilaris since I was a teenager (it's especially bad on my thighs), and after trying dozens of products to treat it with no luck, this magical product is the only thing that's truly worked for me. I usually use this once a week for maintenance, but in the winter if I notice a flare-ups and I get have drier, rougher, bumpier skin, I use this twice a week, and any flare-ups disappear within the week. I scrub it over my thighs and then actually let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off. I have notorious sensitive skin, and I've never had an issue with this before. It's truly the best product out there for any fellow KP sufferers out there!"

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in five sizes).

Promising review: "I bought this for my mother, who has some problems with arthritis, and when we gathered around to see if it worked, we were all pretty impressed. It left the edge of the can crimped in a way that avoids those sharp edges, which I personally have been sliced by several times. At first it didn't seem like it was working, but then we lifted it and boom! Open can. I might get one for myself, honestly." —Rachel C.

Get it from Amazon for $32.39+ (available in seven colors).

I simply do not need the entire JetBlue terminal judging me for being so indecisive that I felt the need to pack my entire closet into my suitcase.

Promising review: "This luggage scale is so handy and is great for weighing your luggage. I was a little concerned before I got it because I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. When I used it when I went on vacation, it was dead-on to what the airport said, so I highly recommend this. Plus, it’s easy to pack in your bags." —Teresa Daniels

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in seven colors and a two-pack).

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. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

Promising review: "Well worth it! Think of all the product in bottles you waste every year by not using something like this. It certainly covers the cost of this item! I love it!" —Rock360

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16 (also available as a pack of six).

Kitsch is a woman-owned biz based in LA that sells hair products!

Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." —Meghan

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors and designs).

Promising review: "This little device removes the oil from your screen. Often, when you are 'cleaning' your screen by wiping it with a cloth, you are simply pushing around the oil into a thin enough layer to see through without noticing it as much. This device actually lifts the oil and removes it. My screen feels like new, which is great because I am picky about my devices. Also, this is much better than cleaning the screen with some kind of wipe since repeated cleaning with most wipes will damage the screen over time. Unbeknownst to me, my wife was cleaning her screen daily and now her screen collects oils far too quickly because she wore off the protective layer. With this product, you don't need to worry about that. Clean it as often as you want/need and you can continue to enjoy that pristine screen without fear of wearing the oleophobic layer off prematurely. I would highly recommend this to others." —Alex

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three pack sizes).

Moonshine and Glitter is a small biz based in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina that sells gorgeous wooden signs and home decor!

Promising review: "I got this for my mom since I'm a chef and she's always asking me what temps to cook things too! Great quality and my mom smiled when I opened it! We put it on the side of the fridge for her to see and it's been a good laugh for her whenever she needs to know a temperature. THANK YOU!" —Eliza Schane

Get it from Moonshine and Glitter on Etsy for $8+ (available in four sizes).

Alchera Designs is a small biz based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany that sells printable charts and wall art.

Promising review: "We purchased these for a birthday gift for our chef friend and had them printed on matte poster, they looked amazing, he loved them so much. Thank you so much for the awesome designs!" —Sarah

Get it from Alchera Designs on Etsy for $2.95.

Promising review: "I can't swallow pills (effects of GERD) so pill crushing has been a mess and a pain. This little gadget is quick, easy, and keeps the process tidy. Made of sturdy plastic, it's lightweight and compact and does the job beautifully! Highly recommend!" —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $7.34+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "If you do nail art or want to perfect your nail polishing skills, this is the product for you. Easy to use, dries sparkly so you know it’s dry, easy peel-off in one piece, and a clean finish. I do a lot of nail art and stamping. Some of the stamping polishes are really hard to get off the cuticle but with this, they come off cleanly. Helps when I do my toes, too, if I get a little messy, the mess comes off with the latex. You can also switch the brush so you don’t waste the bottle when the brush gets clumpy." —Diannah S.

Get it from Amazon for $9.75+ (available in two options).

Wine and Whiskey Co is a small business based in Texas that sells phone cases, clothing, and car accessories.

Promising review: "I had to remove the foam wrap that was on it for it to fit in my cup holder, but now it works perfectly. No more having my water bottle in the seat next to me, rolling on the floor, or spilling 'cause I forgot to close it! Yay!" —sprocketnellie

Get it from Wine & Whiskey Co on Etsy for $12.99.

Promising review: "I dice almost all my onions, so I'm exposed to open onion (and the tear-inducing gasses) every time I have to switch angles for a different cut. Then the onion starts falling apart on me so I have to use more of my hand on the onion and cut at a weird angle while not chopping off my thumb! This thing solves all that. I can get all three angles without moving my hand and without the onion falling apart. This minimizes the time I have with exposed gasses, which means no crying! (OK, maybe not NO crying. Some of these dang onions are noxious! But definitely minimal crying.)" —Ashley Cleveland

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

Promising review: "Purchased two pair for my running shoes. They work very well, and I have put a bunch of miles on them. No more tying/untying, just slip on. I like how they keep unified tension across the entire laces from top to bottom. I have had no issues with the lace lock at all, it snapped in well." —Scott

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 11 colors).

iJoy is a small biz that sells a variety of tech accessories, speakers, and headphones.

Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok, so I ordered one. I absolutely love it. Everyone needs one in their life." —Dani Jo Stengsar

"I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" —Pond P.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "These are the same quality wipes I buy from professional only supply stores. They're my absolute favorite for getting dark color from around my clients hairline/ears. The trick is to wipe it off before it dries. It's great that these are disposable as well." —Jason

Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $9.97.

This product is made from 100% plant-derived fats.

Promising review: "Honestly I didn’t know if this would work. Waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three styles).

Bagnet is a woman-owned small biz that sells magnetic bag holders and phone slings.

Promising review: "This is the best bag holder ever! I was completely blown away, the magnet is SO strong. Works in so many places: in restrooms (try the hinges if the door isn't metal), at restaurants (on tables, chairs, even under the table), at the gym to hold my water bottle and keys so they don't end up on the floor. But my absolute favorite place to use it is on my car! I can attach it to the side of my car while I unlock it without having my hands full and leaving me vulnerable. If you have ever felt nervous trying to fumble with all your stuff while trying to unlock your doors in a dark parking lot, you need this! My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I am going to get one for everyone in my life for Christmas. Any person who carries a bag should have one (or two). Seriously, it's life changing​." —robert rodriguez

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in dozens of styles).
