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 the cheese drawer, all snacks on the go, etc)." —Megan A.

Drop Stop is a small business that specializes in car accessories.
Promising review: "I just don’t understand why I didn’t buy this sooner. It’s one of those things that you’re not really sure why you need it but once you have it, you can’t live without. It saved my poor arm from having to dig my keys, cellphone, pens, french fries, hair ties, you-name-it from between the seat gap. Seriously, it’s awesome." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
Promising review: "I LOVE them! They remove food off of dishes more easily than a sponge, and I just throw them in the top rack of the dishwasher and they come out spotless! They never smell and always rinse out nicely in between washings. These little gems even take off hard water build up from my shower doors! (I also use regular cleaners with them to do the trick.) I love these so much, I bought a bunch and used them as stocking stuffers last Christmas! Everyone loves them!" —DivaGranny

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

Promising review: "I had been reading about these for a while and will admit I was a bit skeptical, but still really interested to see how they might impact my bathroom habits. Suffice it to say I am more than pleased with how well this has worked for me.
First off, the unit is significantly stronger and more sturdy than I was expecting. I assumed it was going to be something like lawn chair strength, but this thing is actually moderately strong. It puts my feet at a great angle for pooping, and I would say that I'm able to go more 'thoroughly' than I would otherwise.
Happy with the purchase for sure. As a nice bonus, it's helping with my three-year-old daughter starting to transition to an adult potty as opposed to using her toddler's potty." —M. Smith
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two sizes and a pack of two).
Souper Cubes is a US-based small business that specializes in bake-and-freeze storage products.
Promising review: "So happy that I found these. I’m the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it’s impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I’m ready for the next batch!" —Debbie R. Texas
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three colors and multipacks)
Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try to clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs.
I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls, and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree, and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." —Amber Erwin

These are FDA- and USDA-approved, and BPA-free. Plus, they're made of sturdy, resilient, and flexible material, and you can even put them in the dishwasher! Wanna learn more? Check out one former BuzzFeeder's full review of the Spatty Daddy!
Promising review: "So worth it! I'm so happy with it. You will definitely save money using this. I think about how much I could have saved if this was invented 30 years ago. I mostly use it for small makeup jars. I tested out the Spatty Daddy on an 18-ounce lotion and it worked fine. You get so much more makeup than you would without it. I give it five stars." —Liz

It comes with two clips — the large white clip is great for lengths and layers, while the smaller blue one is for bangs.
Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I can't wait to tell people what I use on my hair. I hate going to salons. I think I'm one of the few people that has never left a salon feeling like I look better than before I arrived. It doesn't matter how much I've spent on the visit either. This product has been a lifesaver. I just look up YouTube videos and follow the instructions. I just gave myself a layered A-line bob, and it's one of the best cuts I've ever had. It seems like this product would be too good to be true, but if you're patient, it's super easy to use." —Michelle H

Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads.
Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings

Heads up that it might not seem all that soft and fluffy straight out of the packaging, but reviewers note that if you follow the directions and allow it time to fluff up, it will expand and become super comfy!
Promising review: "I have three boys. They seem to destroy air mattresses and bean bags. This is made from a foam that actually does better being beaten up. The more they jump on it, the better it forms. It’s great as a chair for reading. And great as a mattress for sleepovers. We’ve even had adults sleep on it and they were completely comfortable." —BW
Get it from Amazon for $281.14+ (available in three sizes and seven colors).
Safe Grabs is a US-based small business established in 2016 that specializes in kitchen safety products.
Promising review: "Okay, so I am a sucker for innovations that I see on Shark Tank, so I bought this without giving it much thought. When it arrived I thought I had probably made a mistake, but turns out I use them all the time.
I keep one in the microwave, which makes clean-up easier but also allows me to use it as a potholder. I keep the other in a drawer and use it as a trivet to protect my counters and table. It stores easily, has lots of uses, cleans in a flash. Pretty cool." —Kathy, Avid Reader
Get a pack of two Amazon for $31.95 (available in 12 colors, combo packs, variety packs, and two styles).
Bottle Bright is a US-based small business established in 2009 that specializes in cleaning products.
Promising review: "I keep two stainless-steel mugs at work, and they rotate between tea, water, and occasionally coffee. I'm good about washing them, but they had still developed a thin, tea-colored patina. I didn't think there'd be much of a difference after using these tablets (I really bought them for a coworker whose mug is thick with stains), but WOW! Ten minutes with simmering-hot water made my mugs look brand-new. I didn't realize how stained the mugs actually were." —Library Chick

Nerdwax is a US-based small business that specializes in all-natural anti-slip eyewear products.
Promising review: "After watching a repeat episode of Shark Tank, I decided to order some Nerdwax. The first time I applied to my glasses was right after getting to the office. About 90 minutes later, I realized I hadn't pushed my glasses up at all. Although impressed, I decided to hold off on a review until trying Nerdwax while wearing makeup. Nerdwax once again kept my frames in place. This is especially exciting because it was POURING RAIN! To be able to have my specs stay in place while driving in less than stellar conditions was very exciting!" —Jess Hess

Just add your noodles, fill with water to the water line marked inside the cooker, microwave for three minutes, and that's it! Perfect ramen noodles! Plus, this is BPA-free and can be put in the dishwasher!
Rapid Brands is a California-based small business that specializes in dishwasher-safe, microwaveable, BPA-free kitchen products.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. Crack the noodles, throw 'em in, put the spice packet in, fill the water to the line, microwave for four minutes, and they're perfect. Not too hard, not too soft. You can even add in frozen veggies at the start (just make sure they're under the noodles or on the side), and throw cheese on at the very last 30 seconds if you want. The handles don't get hot, so you can grab it right out of the microwave, and it's easy to clean to boot! This is just a DREAM for me when I'm feeling lazy. Oh, and they're dishwasher safe." —Jessica B
Get it from Amazon for $10.98+ (available in 14 colors, two styles, and multipacks).
Promising review: "I love this notebook! This is a very cool product and a great way to keep your notes electronically, but also have the time to process through handwriting (which the experts say is important). Great product — it makes note-taking fun again!" —JeannieInMD
Get it from Amazon for $24.75+ (available in two sizes).
Safety Nailer is a small biz founded by a veteran that specializes in tools that protect your hands.
Promising review: "I have this and the finish nail size, and they are both great! I have nerve pain in my hands, and the Safety Nailer removes any chance of me banging my fingers with a hammer. What a relief!! It’s great for those of us who are not as dexterous as we once were. One of the best construction gadgets I’ve ever purchased." —w4shep
Get them from Amazon: the regular size or mini size for $9.99, or a combo pack with both for $17.98.
Little Elf is a US-based small business that specializes in gift wrapping accessories.
Promising review: "This item is super easy to use and cuts well every time. I've used it five times already and it works perfectly. It's such a great time saver, and I've even come back to buy more for other friends as a cute little gift. This little helper makes me actually enjoy wrapping presents!! Everyone should have one of these!" —Cathy Bitner
Get a pack of two on Amazon for $15.99.
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 work doesn't work as well as Grip Clean!" —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in two sizes).
They'll fit onto horizontal or vertical air vents *and* can hold sauce packs from all popular fast food chains!
Saucemoto is a small business established in 2018 that specializes in unique car accessories.
Promising review: "I don’t like to admit it, but sometimes I eat fast food in my car, particularly on long road trips. This holder is exactly what I would have designed if I had thought of it. There really is nothing I would change. It’s sturdy and I haven’t found a sauce yet that doesn’t fit; but if I do, there is a cup it comes with to hold 'loose' sauce." —Jr High Teacher

Here's why BuzzFeed writer Kayla Boyd is a huge fan of it:
"I LOVE this thing. It allows you to literally wrap yourself in a blanket, but still be able to use your hands, without your poor arm suffering in the cold breeze. I wear this while working from home, watching Netflix, and while taking naps. It's so comfy that there have been times I don't want to take it off when I have to run to the store — the only reason I do is because I don't want it to get dirty. I can't imagine one person who wouldn't be happy to receive this wonderful bundle of coziness."
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 18 colors/styles and with a zipper).
Frywall is a New York-based small business that specializes in protective kitchen accessories.
Promising review: "I was frying chicken with lard, and I put too much in the frying pan. A few minutes after putting the chicken in, the lard began to bubble up, and if I hadn't had the Frywall in place, it would have spilled all over my stove. The Frywall creates a seal around my frying pan, stopping spillovers. Splatters don't escape, it's easy to work around it (turning my chicken over), and when I'm done, I just throw it in the dishwasher. If you do any frying at all, you want the Frywall. Helpful." —Carl G Brown
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use it, but once I got my hands on it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere from two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine, but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create!" —Timur
Get it from Amazon for $14.40 (available in five colors/styles).
Promising review: "My lineman hubby hated talking sandwiches to work. If they were in a container, they got hard, and if they were in a bag, they got soggy from being in the ice chest. This product is AMAZING. Now he takes subs and they are just as fresh as when I made them. He said they are perfect. That's a big deal, because no lineman wants a hard or soggy sandwich after working all day in 100-degree weather!" —jwakefield
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).
Readerest is a US-based small business specializing in glasses accessories.
Promising review: "I can't tell you how many reading glasses I've killed in the past few years, largely from jettisoning them from my breast pocket or hooking them awkwardly in my shirt collar. These clips are amazing. They're discreet enough that I don't look like a goon wearing one on my shirt all day, and when I hang my glasses from them, I can tie my shoes without spilling them lens-first on the ground. What else can a fellow ask for?" —Asha Ember
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.43+ (available in four color combos/styles).

Get the Wash + Go system from Curlmix for $85+ (available in six styles).
Vibes is a US-based small business established in 2015 specializing in unique hearing protection products.
Promising review: "I saw the 'Vibes' on Shark Tank just the week prior to a musical festival-type event I was in charge of. I quickly ordered them — we all know how loud the music is at a festival. These were fabulous and worked just as shown, and as I expected. I usually leave these events with horrible ringing in my ears but not this time! I was so happy to hear the great music but not experience the ringing." —AliceP
