Promising review: "I have a number of Yeti and other lidded mugs, cups, and glasses I use at the office and clean out in the communal break room sink. I could see a buildup that I just couldn’t get to in the lids, and it was grossing me out! This little tool does the trick! It gets in between the rubber ridges in the rings, all around the lip of the cups and lids, and cleans everything from milk residue to lipstick smudges. I have been using it five days a week for several weeks now, and no signs of wear on the tool. Cleans up great, dries well, does the job." —Alfie

Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories.

Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher. I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget. It will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens

Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Bought this for a serotonin boost because it’s ridiculously cute. Little did I know how utterly functional it is. No more cracking eggs while dropping them into the pot, no more fishing them out, no more putting them back into the damp cardboard carton where they inevitably are forgotten right next to the equally neglected bag of spring mix. Just in the pot, out the pot, into the fridge where they cutely greet me every time I open the door. Gives me five seconds of joy every time. Highly recommend." —Kitty M.

You can also freeze the leftover crusts to make bread pudding, French toast sticks, bread crumbs, and stuffing! Or just go to clown town and eat them right then. 😋

Promising review: "What a game changer for saving money compared to buying the Uncrustables in the store. They are ridiculously overpriced, and with this thing, you can make them at a fraction of the cost. It's really simple to use and works really well. Also, it's very easy to clean, although I would keep it out of the dishwasher to avoid rust. This thing crimps the edges of the bread really well, so there is no spillage or leakage. It works just as well with Nutella as it does with deli meats and cheeses. There's a little learning curve as far as where to put your ingredients, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy." —Josh Fowler

Gripstic is a small business that specializes in reusable chip clips.

Promising review: "I'm a stickler about stale chips and have always used those little snapping clips. I thought they worked pretty well, but they really don't compare to Gripsticks. The snack that proved this the most was Pirate's Booty. If these are exposed to air for more than three minutes, they turn into styrofoam peanuts. I promise they're just as fresh as when you first open them with Gripsticks. They're going to be my go-to chip clips moving forward." —Rachel Campbell

Quick & Clean is a small business that specializes in coffee machine cleaning products.

Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old, and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren

Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95.

Promising review: "Works great for my Keurig. I feel better not throwing away all those pods! Love the pod measuring scoop! The pods work great and are easy to use and clean. I just open the pod top and tap the bottom of pod over garbage to empty. Great value for money." —Kindle Customer

Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.95 (also available with a scoop).

Promising review: "I finally switched to refillable K-cups, and this product was the reason why. I put it off for too long, dreading the messy job of filling my own K-cups, but this measuring device makes it a breeze. It already feels strange buying a can of half-caff and a bag of decaf at a fraction of what I was accustomed to paying for coffee. Saving a lot of money already. 🤑🤑🤑 Highly recommended." —McG

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99.

Promising review: "This is one of those random kitchen gadgets that you would never even think about existing, but it's brilliant! We grew kale in our garden, and I was spending way too much time cutting the leaves off the stems, then I stumbled across this tool being suggested on a blog. I immediately ordered one and was very impressed! It saves me so much time stripping those leaves. I also use it for rosemary, oregano, and other herbs." —Elaine S.

Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use.

Promising review: "This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." —Dawn R.

Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

Eparé is a small business that specializes in kitchen and cleaning products for home use.

Promising review: "Have been using these for a year now and absolutely pleased with replacing these for using paper towels. They are absorbent and easy to clean with dish soap and water, then hung to dry. I throw ones that have had several uses into the dishwasher at the end of the week. They hold their shape and and absorbency, and while a duller pattern, does well for a couple of months each." —Ben McDonald

Get a set of four from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four styles and in eight-packs).

Promising review: "I don't like hanging my towel on the cabinet doors, as they are too low to ground for me. I needed something small to fit in the area by kitchen sink and this worked perfectly. It's easy to slide a towel in and it sticks really well. It's cute and small, so it's not really noticeable. Perfect." —VMS

Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.99.

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.

Promising review: "Saved me from buying a new dishwasher! I have to admit that I was skeptical that this product was actually going to do anything. I’ve noticed my dishwasher wasn’t cleaning dishes very well lately, and I did everything I could to get it working properly again, but was ready to finally give up and buy a new dishwasher. I bought these tablets thinking they were designed to eliminate odors, but I was willing to give them a shot before buying a whole new dishwasher. I put one in the bottom of the dishwasher last night per the instructions and woke up to completely clean dishes for the first time in weeks. They look perfect. I don’t know why these tablets work but they absolutely did and I am a happy customer!" —B. Turner

Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart has to say about it: "I'm a little embarrassed about how often I think about it. For the first week we owned it, my boyfriend and I both commented daily on what a smart design it is, how much room it freed up in our drawer, and how we wished we knew about it sooner. If you — like me — are at that stage in your late 20s where practical, problem-solving products put a ridiculously wide smile on your face, I'm sure you'll love it."

Promising review: "New way to organize your silverware that has a sleek design. TikTok made me buy this! It’s a perfect design to not have as much clutter in your drawer. Great for ADHD people to see exactly what silverware is in which slot with the tiny pictures indicating a knife a spoon a fork!" —Haley Lutz

Promising review: "Another must-have item from Amazon. I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches. These are handy items that make the job faster and easier. My wife loves them. Visitors are amazed!" —Alfred R. Wall

Promising review: "I never thought I'd find a garlic chopper that would change my life, but the Chef'n GarlicZoom did just that! The compact size makes it easy to store, and the best part? No more smelly hands! The odor-free hands feature is a game changer. All in all, if you're looking for a kitchen tool that will make your life easier, the GarlicZoom XL is the way to go!" —Cheryl S.

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video. However, I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use, and you make your at-home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence, I’d say, what are you waiting for? Buy it already!" —Denise

Bottle Bright is a US-based small business established in 2009 that specializes in cleaning products.

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually, they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.50.

Promising review: "I have had this wine bottle opener for over two years and I'm so happy with this purchase. I love the aesthetic and that I can leave on the counter. When you receive the product, you just have to plug it in to charge and then it’s ready to use. It’s convenient to have the foil cutter. It’s also still sharp after two years. In just a few seconds the bottle is opened and I’m ready to enjoy a glass of wine!" —Rebecca Anne

Infraovens is a small business specializing in accessories for ovens and air fryers.

Promising review: "Very sturdy and has many built in functions — pulls out heavy oven racks, pulls out baking dishes. So easy to cover or add to your dish and easily pushes back the rack and tray! Love this product." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Cute, quirky, and fun to use! Lemonade is quickly made. It looks so good I leave it on the counter." —Stephaniep

Get it from Amazon for $14.90.

Promising review: "It does the job it's supposed to do. I was cutting my hand trying to open cans. This allows me to get a better grip on the little loopy thing, and gives me leverage to open the can." —P. Alscher

Crack'em is a veteran-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in family-friendly kitchen accessories.

Check out a TikTok of the egg cracker in action.

Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors and three-packs).

Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories.

Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99.

Momo Lifestyle is a small business that specializes in family-friendly homewares.

Promising review: "We got this for the bathroom that the kids use. Anybody with little kids will know that they make a constant mess. We had water all over the counter, mainly around the soap dispenser, and it was causing problems. This has helped a great deal. There is less water on the counter, and I even like to put water on it sometimes just to watch it evaporate within about 60–90 seconds. It was totally worth the money." —David P.

Hover Cover is a small business that specializes in microwave covers for home kitchen use.

Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action.

Promising review: "If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times, it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself, but it will change your life." —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $22.94.

Bluapple is a small business that specializes in products to keep produce fresh and prevent food waste.

Promising review: "These REALLY work! We have to move them away from our fresh fruit so it would ripen! My produce is lasting at least three times as long without spoilage. This is a great product, and I have already bought many as gifts. They don't seem to work on tomatoes, but they are great with bananas, apples, kiwi, pears, grapes, plums, peaches, lettuces, mushrooms, and many more fruits and vegetables." —Jacki

Get a pack of two (plus eight replacement packets) from Amazon for $26.99.

Check out a TikTok of the condiment fork in action.

Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great to get pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol) you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening. It comes with two different rings to fit whatever size jar, a stabber holder, and a stabbing stick." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $8.53.

Handy Gourmet is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products.

Promising review: "Who would have guessed how much easier this product makes getting hot items out of the microwave? This makes the retrieval much safer for me. I have hand problems and gripping this tool makes the removal steadier and safer without getting burns. I recommend!" —Envy's Opinion

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "These are smaller than the photos indicate, but they are very good at their job of removing crud. Love them. I have only needed to open one of the three included in the set, and I suspect this first one will last indefinitely, so I may give away the others. This is one of those small, cheap products that is incredibly helpful. Why didn't I buy this years ago? Used to leave some pots and pans for my spouse, but now it's almost fun to clean them using this." —4eyeslab

Get a set of three from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a five-pack).

Wine Wash Co. is a woman-owned small business that specializes in dishwasher attachments.

Promising review: "I had a hard time finding wine glass holders for my dishwasher. My previous dishwasher had built-in holders, but my current dishwasher does not. I got tired of having wine glasses break during dishwashing cycles. These holders are sturdy and fit the bill for standard glasses. They can fold up when not in use. I would not use them for expensive Waterford crystal wine glasses, but they are perfect for everyday glasses. A must-have for wine drinkers!" —Alicia

Get a set of four from Amazon for $15.
