Great things come in small packages. Sometimes the tiniest gadgets solve the biggest problems, but how do you filter out the good from the bad? How do you discover the product you didn't even know you were looking for? You dig through Amazon. Amazon is filled with loads of enticing and helpful products, like a tool that makes it a breeze to french braid your hair or an inverted umbrella that'll keep you dry even on the windiest days.

We've scoured the internet and Amazon reviews to find an incredible variety of absolute must-have finds. A handy spoon rest that'll make it easy to keep your counters clean when cooking? A mini air purifier that keeps your room and office fresh so you can breathe easily? Among many other genius and mind-blowing little finds? Yes, please.

Anyone with kids (or tangles of their own) can appreciate the power of a good detangler, and Crave's detangling brush is at the top of the heap according to more than 60,000 Amazon reviewers. The Crave brush's unique, cone-shaped bristles work to gently separate hair, instead of tearing right through it. At barely more than $10, it's a low price to pay for many less tears (your kids', or your own).
