Sorry but hangover-preventing wine drops and a multi-use beauty balm are better than the toothbrush your dad always gets OK. (OK a toothbrush is practical, so thank you dad.)

1. A 12-pack of water bottle-cleaning tablets to make sure everyone’s go-to container actually gets cleaned. (Cleaning water bottles is hard!)
Promising review: “I wasn’t sure if this was a gimmick or not. Turns out it works really well. I have four metal thermos-like containers that are used to keep tea warm every day. Over time, the tea stained the insides and was very difficult to remove. I added one of these tablets to the container, filled it with hot water, and let it sit for a few hours. When I came back to rinse it out, I was literally amazed at how clean it was. I think it looked cleaner than when they were new. I called my wife over to show her, and she was equally impressed. Awesome product!” —Robert A Moreno II

Promising review: “Totally impressed! The unassuming generic packaging and label left me a bit skeptical but this stuff is almost as exciting as the wine I spilled! This Cabernet stain sat on my ivory faux fur blanket for over a month before I tried this product. Completely gone in one try! Get this. Seriously. You won’t be disappointed.” —PersianTess

4. And on the flip side, some wine drops that are meant to cut down on the stuff that makes you have wine hangovers.
Amazon
After putting these drops in many stories like this one, I finally bought them! I’ve tried them out (and made several friends try them out) with no alteration in the taste of a glass of wine, unless you’re super impatient and accidentally squirt way too much into your glass (I speak from experience). Note that there’s no direction for rosé but I’ve found that two drops work out well per glass!
Promising review: “This product was really amazing. I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and never write a review, however this product is worth writing one. I’ve used the Wand as well and like it, however the biggest drawback of the Wand is having to explain why I’m using it to others and causing undue attention. This is a quick solution to that issue. The product itself works great. I get bad headaches whenever I drink wine, however with this product I’m able to drink two to three glasses without the headaches. I’m not sure exactly what causes the headaches, whether it’s tannins, sulfites, etc., however I just know this cures the issue. I’m sure there are those who are skeptical, I certainly was, but I can truly say it works for me and hopefully others will find success using it as well.” —luke

Promising review: “Used this last night, works well, have to let it sit for 10 minutes to get a correct read. Dial is easy enough to read, basic understanding of pH is needed but otherwise easy enough.” —Nate

7. A Glossier Balm Dotcom trio so they can give this fan-fave a spin in a variety of flavors.
Glossier
Promising review: “As a bit of a lip balm addict, I have tried a fair few different lip balms and butters, and can honestly say without a doubt these ingredients and lip balms are the best in the business. I got a Rose one first and then after I had used that, I got a pack of three in Rose, Mango and Mint, each one is divine and I could not recommend highly enough these products!” —Kate

9. A cleaning pen that’ll *gently* revive the look of their jewels that they DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE have grown cloudy over time. Don’t worry, it’s made with micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer for a pro-level shine at the price of your morning coffee order.
Promising review: “I worked several years in a fine jewelry store that sold this product. We used the Dazzle Stik from time to time to add a quick shine to merchandise that was just tried on and on days our jeweler was not there to professionally clean items. I was always impressed with the instant shine the diamond stick provided. The brush tip is very helpful for getting under the stones and in the setting where gunk builds up reducing that brilliant shine. I recently got engaged and immediately purchased a Diamond Dazzle Stik of my own. It’s the perfect way to quickly give my ring some shine before leaving the house. You simply brush, rinse, dry and go. I don’t feel this product replaces the need to professionally clean your jewelry every now and then, but it does help with the maintenance of that new shiny sparkle.” —Amazon Customer

10. A milk frother to help them whip up all the delish coffee drinks they’re always sending you on Instagram and TikTok.
I invested in one of these last year and I’m so glad I did — I use it to make lattes at home and have saved a lot of dollars without having to run out to Starbucks every morning (just…once a week or so instead hehe).
Promising review: “OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I’ve already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended.” —Michelle Pirestani

It has been a miracle for me, I’ve tried all kinds of supplements they help but this actually works better for me. Also had a virus and used one to cool me down and help with fever. So they have so many uses, I suggest that everyone get these!” —Annette Looper

Amazon
Promising review: “No matter what I do or what expensive and high-rated product I try, my fly-aways are an annoying constant. This product has completely rid me of my daily top of head fly-away frizz! I wish I would have discovered this product years ago! It smoothes my hair out and truly lasts all day.

23. Or! A detangling brush made for folks with 3a–4c hair types who’ve more or less resigned to super painful brushing. As reviewers point out, it doesn’t have to be the case!
amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: “He wouldn’t let me take a good picture LOL. But my son has really thick and curly hair, no brush would be of much help with it. They would pull out his hair no matter how I brushed it. He would scream from the time he seen me coming with the brush until I was done. This brush has helped soooooo much. He will sit and watch TV every night while I brush through his hair and not mind it at all. The way the brush is designed and separates it don’t pull out his hair I love it and he loves it he even brushed his own hair with it. I definitely recommend this brush for anyone with thick curly hair!” —Danielle Beller

24. Mini screwdrivers that’ll become indispensible in their tool kit for eyeglasses, appliances, and lots of other essential bits.
Amazon
My dad gave me a similar set a few years ago and I probably use this more than anything else in my (rather large) tool bag. Includes six magnetic mini screwdrivers.
Promising review: “This is a great set of small, precision screwdrivers. Maybe they aren’t small enough to dismantle the innards of your watch, but they are perfect for the small screws I so often encounter on appliances, computer cases, small electronics, etc. This set will replace a cheap set I purchased last year (and it didn’t last). This tool set is in a quality built case that has a sliding latch to keep it closed. I really like the hard anodized finish and the tool shafts and ends appear to be quality steel. The different colors help me to find the one I want. These are a great product at a great price. They arrived quickly and were well package for shipment. I may even give some as gifts to my friends that are tool geeks!” —Seacidal

25. Stainless-steel straws and a cleaning tool so their at-home iced coffee obsession won’t create an island of plastic straws in the ocean. Also the steel just makes the coffee taste even colder!!
Amazon
Dishwasher-safe, and rust- and scratch-proof.
Promising review: “Love these straws as they are washable, and the cleaning item works great. Our son uses straws and I did not want to continue throwing them away. With these straws they are reusable, and washable. Also my son who has sensory issues was fond of them from the get go. If you have sensory issues or are ordering for someone who does, I recommended trying both straws at the same time. Which helps them choose the change and over time hopefully they will like the new one. We eased into it and that was the best way to make the change.” —G Hale

26. Or if they’re into a more flexible solution, a 10-pack of silicone straws they can even cut to size for their to-go tumbler of choice.
Promising review: “I originally started out using the stainless steel straws that I also found here on Amazon — but I lived in this relentless, looming anxiety that I would chip my tooth on them… to the point where I dreaded using my straws. Which defeats the point! So my cousin came down for my graduation and I saw FLATHEAD straws, and I ended up buying the exact same ones! I thoroughly enjoy that you can chew on them. ? I give 5 stars all around, comes with simple baggy to take them for travel, AND a cleaner utensil. Super low maintenance because they give you the proper care and cleaning tools. They also donate to the OCEANA campaign effort to save the ocean when you leave a review! Woooooohooo!” —Amy Marquez-Vincent

27. An acne patch that’ll be far gentler on their surrounding skin than drying spot treatments of yore. Hydrocolloid, tea tree oil, and calendula oil do the deed in drawing out fluids and pus with results you can see.
Promising review: “I cannot say enough about these patches! They are my skin savior! I actually gave myself a facial where I pushed up all the blackheads and whiteheads from my pores, which is why there is so much puss on the patches (gross, I know), but I couldn’t believe all of that was trapped in my skin!! Woke up and removed the patches, not a single pimple! If I would’ve not put these on, guaranteed I would have woken to multiple pimples in the area. I usually break out when I try to exfoliate and extract, so I only do it when my pores start to look huge and filled (yuck). I am now a true believer, leave the ‘spot treatment’ creams and switch to these! They will pull out that white head and reduce your pimple to practically nothing overnight! And it’s safer than a cream that just brings all that gunk to the surface but doesn’t actually remove it… then when you do your left with an oozing pre-scar for the rest of the day! I am now a monthly subscriber. I will never use anything else. In fact, just ordered the XL acne patches to pull out more gunk on my forehead (live in Arizona, constantly sweating and naturally oily). Thank you for making such a great product!!” —jennifer9

31. A spare pair of earbuds because these tiny things we rely on so heavily are incredibly easy to lose and these can be their backup! AND these round jacks will fit into the ports on airplanes for those long-haul flights.
Amazon
Promising review: “Last pair lasted two years, longer than any other wired or wireless headphones I’ve ever owned! So when my black ones died finally (only because I stepped on the ear bud and totally smashed it to pieces), I was delighted to see other colors! Naturally I repurchased these in purple this time and again, love the sound! Still as great as my original pair. Hope they also last as long!” —hacksore

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Amazon
I have this lighter and use it on the daily!
Promising review: “This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that’s a super minor annoyance. It’s a super intuitive device. Plus the lighter with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles.

I own a pair of these and they’re super comfortable, unlike other earplugs I’ve tried for concerts (I’ve been to lots of shows in my day). I wore my pair at an arm hair-shaking EDM show and can report back that they work SO well.

Thanks to your product I am able to enjoy my favorite pastimes including karaoke with my friends with out my ears ringing all night not allowing me to sleep.

43. A tub of O’Keeffe’s hand cream as a serious dose of moisture for dry, cracked hands. Anyone who you do any hand-holding with will certainly appreciate the tactile improvement.
Promising review: “I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers every fall and winter for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O’Keeffe’s Working Hand Cream and within two-and-a-half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it’s non-greasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That’s why I use it at night before bed when I don’t have to open door knobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands.” —T.H.

Promising review: “Very easy to clean and use. I have a smaller fridge so these are better than colored tubs. You can see the items in the bag. Nice thickness.” —Judy Sinkular

48. A TubShroom anyone with tons of hair (like this writer) will appreciate sooo much. Seriously, they’ll split their life between before and after TubShroom.
This little wonder fits inside of the drain and you can easily remove it and pull off hair at least once a week. You’ll even enjoy how grossed-out seeing all that hair makes you!
Promising review: “I was skeptical, but for a few bucks I gave it a go. I’m lazy and I live with two ladies (who are also lazy). The tub drain doesn’t get addressed nearly enough. I’d usually be the one pulling nasty balls of long hair out of the drain catch just so the tub would actually drain during a shower EVERY DAY. With this bad boy, once a week and you don’t even notice a slow down in the drainage.” —Jason

It’s me. I spend too much time on my hair.
Promising review: “These are magic for me. I have medium-thick hair but A LOT of it. If I pull it back I always end up with a headache. I can go most of the day with my hair pulled back with these without having a headache. Winner!!!!” —smash
