Me from the couch: “And for that reason, I’m IN.”
1.
A Blueland cleaning kit with everything you need to tackle your less-than-sparkling-clean home.
Blueland
The cleaning solutions are safe around kids and pets, and come in reusable bottles (environment, you’re welcome). The kit comes with four bottles and four tablets to dissolve in the bottles with water. You get: multi-surface, glass and mirror, bathroom, and foaming hand soap.
Promising review: “Always trying to find ways to live more sustainably and with less waste. Blueland is a perfect way to do that with reusing the same bottles and you can re-up whenever you need to. I ended up purchasing another foaming hand soap bottle for the bathroom — I would order extra of the hand soap tablets because it does go pretty quickly compared to the rest.” —Cait F.
Get it from Blueland for $36.80.
2.
A pair of Soulmates High Heel Protectors to keep your stiletto heels from sinking into the mud or getting stuck in a grate. Speaking as someone whose mother-in-law broke her wrist when her heel got stuck in between wooden slats… These are a good investment.
Amazon
Promising review: “I purchased the narrow pair to wear with some high heels to my friend’s wedding as a maid of honor. I also purchased some for the bride. These are amazing and did not pop off once! Everyone was asking me how in the world are my heels not sinking into the grass. They didn’t notice the clear protectors until I pointed them out. This invention is genius and I definitely did not sink into the grass! Totally worth it, especially if you have expensive heels that you do not want to ruin! As for the bride’s expensive shoes, they were definitely saved!!!” —swt caroline
Get them from Amazon for $14.50+Â (available in two sizes).
3.
A variety pack of Doughp cookie dough. It’s made with heat-treated flour and no eggs, so you can eat it raw or bake it, with equally delicious results.
Doughp
The Bestseller pack comes with: Cookie Monster, Brownie Beast, Ride or Die, and Dunk on ‘Em.
I love Doughp! The cookie dough is so amazing raw, that’s it’s pretty rare for me to actually take the time to bake it. I love being able to keep a pint of Doughp in the freezer and always have the ability to bake a cookie or two when the craving hits. This is sure to be a hit with anyone who used to buy the Pillsbury cookie dough tubes from the grocery store and eat it like a Go-Gurt.Â
Get a four-pack of the best sellers from Doughp for $50 (originally $60).
4.
The Plufl — aka a dog bed for humans. Ever watch your dog get really snuggly and get jealous? Now’s your chance to jump in there!
amazon.com
Promising review: “The quality is superb — everything from the material, to the stuffing, the stitching, the zipper, etc.! It is easy to assemble and super soft and comfy, yet supportive enough to really provide that extra comfort. The customer service these guys provide is far better than any other! They really care about their product and customers. I think my 6-pound Chihuahua is enjoying it the most as he feels like a king in this super comfy bed! It may seem like a lot of money, but for the quality of the product, customer service, and ability to throw the cover in the wash, I think it’s well worth it!” —Wolfen3D
Get it from Amazon for $299Â (available in four colors).Â
5.
A pack of Drainwigs ready to lie in wait and catch any hairs that might try to go down the drain.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: “I didn’t even think about my shower drain being such a problem with hair. We have a relatively new shower and the drain was starting to be slow, but not really a problem because the pipe has a long drop. I was watching Shark Tank and thought maybe I need to check this out. Wow, there was a lot of hair to clean! Three long-haired girls in the house! I started using this and it pulled all sorts of hair out. We change it about once a month. Easy to pull out and no breaks or rust. I keep buying!” —Kindle Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.09+ (available in five styles and in multpicacks).
6.
Kinfield’s Golden Hour bug spray made with a unique strain of Indonesian citronella that actually smells good — think citrus and vanilla. Customers looking to avoid DEET swear up and down that it really works.
Kinfield
Heads up: As far as “natural” bug sprays go, the CDC only recommends formulas with oil of lemon eucalyptus so I don’t recommend using this in super buggy areas. That said, based on the reviews, you should be covered for casual picnics and backyard hangs.Â
Promising review: “Mosquitos like to eat me up and make me puff up like an itchy water balloon, but I’ve had absolutely ZERO bites while wearing this stuff. I love that it’s not a bunch of nasty, sticky DEET chemicals. I recommend applying it outside though if you have cats or dogs, since essential oils aren’t great for them to ingest or inhale. Made the mistake of applying inside one time and it was very strong so I cordoned my cats off from the area lol. A lot of people seem to complain about the scent but I personally love the smell of citronella so it doesn’t bother me. I’ll be using this for LIFE!” —TJ R.
Get it from Kinfield for $22.
7.
A pretty jigsaw puzzle featuring a nice oasis scene sure to soothe you while you slowly assemble it.
Jiggy

A set of seat gap fillers to prevent things from tumbling down into what scientists have called the Black Hole of Vehicles.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have bought about six of these for myself and friends/family. Cell phones, wallets, keys, change, and everything else doesn’t fall through. I will not have another car without it. I was in a friend’s car, and my phone dropped through the seat. He got a Drop Stop the next day.” —kellen
Get the set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
9.
A pack of Bottle Bright tablets that will clean your old, grimy water bottles and restore them to their former glory, no scrubbing needed.
amazon.com
Just fill the bottle with water and drop in a tablet. Let it work its magic for half an hour and then rinse out.
Promising review: “In all fairness, I first heard of this product while watching Shark Tank, and their pitch was impressive so I gave the underdog a try. Now, I’m on my fourth reorder. My whole family drinks out of various name-brand bottles, coffee mugs, etc. The fact is, they are rarely cleaned because they are a part of our daily lives and they are a pain in the ar$e to clean, because of the inconvenience that they are not dishwasher safe or don’t fit. The answer is these tablets. They work and they’re simple to use.” —K.R.
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $7.99.

A pair of weighted Bala Bangles to add a little resistance to your workout or everyday routine. Passive exercise? My favorite.
Rebecca O’Connell / BuzzFeed
Bala is a woman-owned business that sells various pretty exercise equipment. I have these bands and love ’em! They have super-strong loop and hook tape so you can strap them on tight (no sliding weights while punching, lifting, running, jumping, etc.). Best of all, they’re just really, really pretty!

14.
A suction tool to help relieve the itchy agony of bug bites by sucking out insect venom, saliva, and other irritants under your skin. Finally, you can go outside after dark again!
Rebecca O’Connell / BuzzFeed
Make sure you read all the directions before using so you don’t accidentally give yourself a hickey! I’ve used this and it totally works. It won’t completely get rid of 100% of your bug bites, but it makes a noticeable difference. I haven’t scratched once since this amazing device came into my life.
Promising review: “I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: It’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!” —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+Â (available in three colors and in multipacks).
15.
A Sleep Pod Move for anyone who wants to be gently squeezed to sleep. These particular model has a flap so you can tuck your feet in or let them breathe as you get up for a glass of water.
Hug Sleep
Promising review: “I recently replaced my weighted blanket with a Sleep Pod and I am never going back. I appreciated the comfort that I got from a weighted blanket, but it was so hot I wasn’t able to last under it for long. It was also so heavy I couldn’t take it with me anywhere. This design solves those problems. The fabric is breathable and so lightweight that I can comfortably use it in the summer and throw it in my tote bag on vacations. I feel calm and comforted every time I get in. I’ve used it while napping, while trying to calm down before going to bed at night, and while sitting on the sofa and needing some extra stress relief when binge-watching Chernobyl got too stressful. I can’t rave enough about this thing, but I’ll certainly keep trying!” —Mal Mower, BuzzFeed staff
Get it from Hug Sleep for $74.99 (originally $99.99, available in four sizes and three colors).
16.
A pack of heirloom corn cheese balls that are baked instead of fried, making them a better option than the Chester Cheetah–sponsored version.

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.95.

Aura Bora seltzer that comes in fancy flavors like lavender cucumber, basil berry, and cactus rose for people who have burned through all the traditional flavors and are looking for something new.
Rebecca O’Connelll / BuzzFeed
Much to the disgust of my parents, I grew up chewing C Howard’s violet gum, so OF COURSE I had to spring for the chance to try some botanical-flavored seltzers. The cans have beautiful illustrations and are bursting with flavor (or as much as a seltzer can have). They’ll make a great addition to your summer bevy lineup.
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $22.95+Â (available in six flavors).Â
18.
Fur Oil ready to tackle ingrown hairs, irritation, and dry skin. Apply this hydrating, nongreasy oil anywhere you have hair, like your underarms, legs, chest, and face (just avoid your eyes).
Fur Oil
Promising review: “This oil is amazing! My waxer suggested it because I had issues with ingrown hairs. It was a bit pricey so I avoided buying for awhile, but once I gave in I couldn’t live without it! I primarily use after showering on my bikini area, but have used on legs post-shaving, post-tanning, etc. and it’s amazing! My skin feels silky smooth and soft after every use, it smells great, and it lasts ages! It’s what they use in my salon too, so the fact that the people waxing me use it gives me more confidence. The difference is incredible. Worth the splurge.” —Cheryl
Get it from Ulta for $26+ (available in two sizes).

An Ezpz food mat to thwart your child’s attempts to toss the whole plate of food on the ground. It uses the power of suction to stay put so your kid has no choice but to try the peas.
Amazon
Ezpz is a mom-owned brand that aims to make mealtime easier for everyone.Â
Promising review: “Does your child ‘feed the dog’ during meal time? While this dish won’t guarantee they won’t continue that fun habit, it sure helps. Instead of ‘wiping all the food’ off his high chair tray, now my grandson’s food sits in this sturdy dish that can’t move. And I mean can’t! It stays put and the cut pieces are easy to pick up it. Easy to clean too!” —Reeve
Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in seven colors).
20.
A silicone dog tag that doesn’t jingle or clang into food bowls, making it the ideal choice for nervous pups or humans who enjoy peace and quiet.

This tags glows in the dark and comes with up to six lines of text.
Promising review: “I am pleased with the Silidog ID tag that I ordered for my dog. The tag is a good size and the information is easy to read. The tag is sturdy and I expect it to last for quite a while. Shipping was surprisingly fast for a personalized item. The company provided excellent customer service.” —DogID

A hand-sewn, personalized plush doll based on your photo that can even come with a voice recording in case you wanna send a special message.

A Rapid Ramen Cooker that’ll make it easier than ever to enjoy some microwaved noodles.
Amazon
Promising review: “God’s ramen cooker. This thing may seem like just an ordinary Tupperware, but I assure you it will blow that thin plastic garbage out of the water. It retains heat amazingly and does not bend or falter under extreme temperatures. I’m a college student and I have never felt such joy from making ramen in my small dorm microwave, for a 900-watt I recommend five minutes. Buy this product if you live and breathe air, because it is beautiful.” —Theron
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
23.
A bottle of Better Life Natural Tub and Tile Cleaner, a plant-based cleaner that tackles soap scum, rust, mold, mildew, hard water stains, and mineral deposits just as well as bleach-based competitors.
amazon.com
Promising review: “This is my favorite thing. I saw on Shark Tank and had to get a whole bunch of their products. After I saw them rub raw chicken on a counter and clean with one product and still have bacteria, then cleaned with this and there was almost nothing… I had to have it!!! I use it to clean countertops and for anything, really. It’s great for wherever you need to use it!” —Cents For My Scents
Get two bottles from Amazon for $15.99.

A Stasher reusable silicone bag that’s airtight, dishwasher and microwave safe, and sturdy as heck, making it the perfect replacement for disposable plastic bags.
Amazon
FYI, it’s self-sealing and nonplastic. It’s also free of BPA, PVC, and latex.
Promising review: “I’ve tried a LOT of reusable bags as there are a lot of options out there all using a variety of materials. The fabric ones just get gross over time. The vinyl ones are hard to clean and aren’t usually dishwasher-safe. There are other silicone ones that need a separate rod to close them that you can easily lose. This one is the most simple and easy to use. No separate pieces to lose. Can withstand any temperature/microwave/dishwasher/whatever. And if they get gunky they are very easy to clean and I trust that they aren’t hiding gross crumbs in any of the crevices. My only complaint is the cost — they are the most expensive and I wish they offered a bulk discount. If they were cheaper I would use them for EVERYTHING (open cheese in cheese drawer, all snacks on the go, etc.).” —Megan A.
Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in several colors).

A four-pack of Pizza’nadas, which are essentially like pizza rolls but with a twist — pao de queijo instead of pizza dough! That’s right, it’s cheese, sauce, and pepperoni wrapped in a delightful cheesy bread.
Amazon
If you’ve never had pao de queijo before, it’s basically gluten-free bread made out of cheese that’s a speciality in Brazil! You can also buy a pack of those from Amazon for $44.98.
Anyway, back to the Pizza’nadas. These things are INCREDIBLE! If you grew up on Hot Pockets and Totino’s Pizza Rolls, consider these a major step up. They’re super tasty and the texture is spot on. I could easily live off of these (although I imagine not very long). They’re the perfect lil’ pick-me-up snack when you’re craving something cheesy.Â

A Bridal Buddy that will gather up large gowns into a manageable ball, so you can go to the bathroom without worrying about any…ahem…spills.
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “This was one of the first things on my list to buy for my wedding. I saw it on Shark Tank and thought it was a genius idea before I even got engaged. I had a very large ball gown with a long train and needed no help going to the restroom thanks to this thing. It’s easy to use and comfortable to wear all night. It’s also short enough that it doesn’t peek out the bottom. I’m very short at 5’1″ and still had a couple of inches of clearance when pulled up to my waist.” —Tira
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in two styles and many sizes).
27.
A tube of Grip Clean, a Shark Tank-famous product that’ll cut through grease, oil, ink, odors, and more — without relying on harsh artificial ingredients. It’s made natural ingredients like coconut and olive oils, so even those with sensitive skin can use it regularly suffering from dry, cracked, or irritated hands.
amazon.com
Promising review: “I work for the railroad and I am always getting my hands dirty! I could never seem to find anything that worked. Also, I live in Utah so when it starts getting cold my hands dry out. Well, with Grip Clean that doesn’t happen! I have my coworkers coming to my locker asking to get some soap since the soap we have at doesn’t work as well as Grip Clean!” —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.

A Springer dog water bottle that comes with a built-in bowl to make it easier to have water breaks on long walks and hikes. Just squeeze the bottle and the bowl fills up!
Amazon
Promising review: “The Springer dog water bottle is SUPER convenient!!! I go hiking and biking a ton with my dog and this is by far the best water bottle I have found for him. He took to drinking out of it naturally and I love that none of the water gets wasted. It’s so easy to just clip it on my hiking pack and go!! Definite five stars!!!” —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors). Â
