We also have our testers at The Catalog diligently trying out products every single day, and they're over the moon about some of them.

This Affordable Foot Repair Cream Fixed My Perpetually Cracked Heels

I’m perpetually barefoot, and my heels get painful deep cracks in the winter. I’ve spent tons of money on remedies, from super-expensive creams to bi-weekly pedicures. But it wasn’t until I started using this $20foot cream that my heel cracks healed. The lotion isn’t greasy, smells nice, is affordable, and actually works. My feet and wallet both think it’s a miracle.

This 6-Piece Sheet Set Is Superior to Sheets I Have That Are Double or Triple the Price

I ordered the 6-piece king-size sheet set. The sheets are described as comfy, breathable, and cooling. We have a very deep mattress, so the fitted sheet could have been a little bigger for me; however, I think for the majority of mattresses, it would fit perfectly. I found the sheets to be soft and silky. Sensory input is an issue for me, and I found these quite enjoyable to slip into after a long day. As someone who has hot flashes, they were effective in reducing the amount of heat held in the sheets, unlike other sheets I have. I especially noticed that with the pillowcases, I didn't have to turn my pillow over to get a colder side. They wash up very nicely and look lovely on the bed with the embroidered edges of the pillowcases. - Shannon W.

This Pet Odor Eliminator Wasn't Too Strong for My Kid With Sensory Issues

I love this pet odor spray and feel like it worked great. We have five dogs in our house, and we use it on the furniture and dog beds a couple times a week. The orange scent isn't overpowering at all. It makes the house smell so fresh and instantly removes any dog odors. I have a sensory kiddo who is very sensitive to certain fragrances, and this one doesn't bother him. - Jillian L.

Feed Everyone's Caffeine Obsession With This Cheap Milk Frother

I love this milk frother for making barista-level drinks in the comfort of my home, but it has another purpose, too! I use it to make warm, foamy milk for my kids, and they think it's the most amazing thing. They get a calcium boost, and I get to have fun whipping up drinks — everyone wins!

These Microfiber Cloths Are Surface Cleaning Specialists

Microfiber cloths are a cleaning must-have, but sometimes the texture makes it difficult to clean different surfaces to a spotless shine. So we love this microfiber cloth kit that has one cloth specially designed for each of three different jobs — cleaning glass, polishing, and all-purpose cleaning. You get all three in one set, so you'll know that you can clean every part of your home to a streak-free shine every time.

These Tweezers Are Super Precise

I was overdue for new tweezers and very happy that I got this set. I've used a lot of types of tweezers (can you say 90s overplucked brows?), and I think these are the best I have ever owned. They came very sharp and can grab super fine, short hairs that my eyes can't even see. Luckily, I have not had to use the splinter removers yet, but I am sure they will be of the same quality. Additional bonus is the handy case they came in to keep everything together. - Shannon W.

Meal Prep is Easier With These Storage Containers

If you're into meal prepping, these are a "Buy Now" item. This set has everything you need to meal prep effectively and still offers extra containers for your leftovers. Plus, the glass is perfectly safe to microwave so you can use it anywhere.

This Knee Pillow Is the Secret to Better Back Health

Sleeping in a weird position does a number on your back, especially if you already struggle with back problems. We love how this knee pillow has just the right shape to position your spine for minimal strain while you're sleeping. It's great for pregnancy, too.

I Love Ouai Products, and This Hair Mask Is Amazing

I love using products from Ouai. They always smell so good — Ouai seems to put a lot of thought into the aroma of their products. And this hair mask smells fantastic and leaves my thick, dry, wavy hair soft, silky, and so much more manageable. It's my go-to hair mask. - Karen F.

For Under $5, This Mascara Gives You the Best Lashes of Your Life

While blowouts never go out of style, they take a certain level of skill only your hairdresser seems to possess. Anyone can master the perfect salon blowout thanks to this blow dryer brush. Blast hot or cold air onto your hair as you twist to create those lovely, lifted locks.

These Collagen Masks Are My Favorite Part of My At-Home Facial

I've been using these collagen masks for several months, and I love them. They're super refreshing to put on, and they leave my skin soft, smooth, and less lined. I feel like the collagen penetrates more deeply than other products. And while I don't wear them overnight because I'm not sure how that would even work, I get a lot of benefit out of using them once or twice a week for 30-60 minutes.

This Cute Yogi Sponge Holder Is a Mystical Joy

This is just the cutest little guy! He puts a smile on my face every time I see him floating on my kitchen wall. He has his own magic golden sponge, but your ordinary standard sponge will work just fine also. - Jan G.

This Inexpensive Tool Is a Flashlight, Magnet, and Life-Saver in One

My mother-in-law got me one of these magnetic pickup tools as a Christmas present, and I use it all the time in my shop, where I seem destined to drop nearly everything behind a very heavy, hard-to-move workbench. It's got a long, telescoping neck and a built-in flashlight head with a strong, rare earth magnet that can hold pretty much anything. It's even got a magnetic base so you can set it up as a useful spotlight or work light. This is one of those 100% dad-gifts that they'll actually use. - Chris S.

This To Do List Notebook Is So Satisfying

As someone who lives and dies by her daily to-do lists, this cute notebook gets all the thumbs up from me. It makes me feel so industrious to tick off the tiny checkboxes on the printed lists, and I absolutely love that there's a small separate list for "priorities" on every page. That feature helps me make sure the most important tasks don't get overlooked and keeps me focused! - Anna S.

This Double Massage Ball Gives Off Excellent Vibes

In a moment of temporary insanity, I joined a CrossFit gym this year. I'm sore in places I didn't even know I had, but I've made it through with the help of this massage ball It takes up virtually no space and the vibration aids in recovery, mobility, and deep tissue trigger point therapy, which feels great whether you work out or not! - Anna S.

A Tiny Amount of This Argan Oil Goes a Long Way

I really like AG products. You only need a tiny amount of this argan oil to keep your hair soft and supple. It doesn't have a scent to interfere with anything else you might use. I have wavy hair that tends to get frizzy, and this helped to calm the frizz without being greasy. - Theresa H.

This Viral Lip Stain Works Like Magic

I was first drawn to this lip stain because of the fun "it goes on blue but wipes of lip colored" aesthetic of it all, but I quickly became a super fan for other reasons. It's super easy to use, and I love the color it deposits. It looks natural on my lips, especially with a little gloss over the top. And best of all, it lasts for hours. It doesn't come off until I take it off, no matter what I eat or drink during the day. It totally lives up to all the social media love it gets.

This Powder Cleanser Is My Go-To Travel Face Wash

I am a huge fan of Hanalei's skincare products, including this amazing papaya face powder. I originally bought it for travel because I liked the idea of a powdered face soap that I could easily get through TSA and that wasn't at risk of leaking all over my bag. But then I used it, and wow! It foams up perfectly, a tiny bit goes a long way, and it's so soft and luxurious on my skin. Plus the papaya leaves my skin bright and smooth, and I love that it's cruelty-free. This was my entry into Hanalei skincare products, and now I'm totally hooked.

This Is the Most Effective Lip Treatment I've Ever Tried

I’ve tried my fair share of lip treatments, but Hanalei’s Lip Treatment is an absolute game-changer. I got the travel pack with clear, rose, and red, and let me tell you — every single one is a winner. From the moment I put it on, I could feel the difference. It’s silky smooth, not sticky, and actually lasts instead of disappearing five minutes later. But the real magic? It HEALS. My usual chapped, dry lips? Gone. Just soft, hydrated lips that feel amazing. - Cheryl K.

You'll Love How This Eyeshadow Pencil Glides On & Stays in Place

People on TikTok are going crazy for Julep eyeshadow – currently boasting over 40K glowing reviews on Amazon – and it’s not hard to see why. Julep’s cream-to-powder formulation does double duty: nourishing sensitive eye skin with vitamins C & E while providing a brush-free, smooth, and waterproof powder finish. At a price point often below $10 and with more than 50 colors to choose from, this one’s an easy win in the bang-for-your-buck column.

This Lip Scrub Made Me a Believer

I've never tried a lip scrub before I tried this one. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was hoping it would help with my dry lips. First, the smell of this vanilla lip scrub was amazing! It was the perfect vanilla scent. Second, it was super easy — put it on your lips and wipe it off with water. In the directions, it said you could lick it off, but I thought that would be weird. And third, it really did help my dry lips. This product is great, and I will definitely be using it again. - Jillian L.

These Shower Steamers Are a Game Changer When You're Sick

These shower steamers are a game changer when you're sick! They cleared my sinuses within minutes of having one in the shower. The eucalyptus scent is also very calming and therapeutic, while the mint helps with congestion. I will definitely be buying more. - Koryne K.

This Volumizing Spray Keeps the Wispy Hairs Away From My Face

I liked this spray. It has little scent but not too much and a nice gentle hold but keeps the wispy hairs in control without being sticky. It still allows for movement, too. - Theresa H.

These Little Gems Are My New Favorite Hair Serum

I’m pretty sure I just found my new favorite hair serum! First off, the packaging is SO cute! They are little aqua-colored, single-use capsules that you twist the top off of, and they are in a small, clear glass jar with a cork top. As soon as I applied the serum, I was hooked. It wasn’t heavy or greasy feeling. My strands drank it right up. I then blew my over-processed hair dry and was amazed at how obedient it was for once! My frizz was smoothed and my hair felt super soft, healthy, and nourished. It also looked really shiny! This serum has everything one needs for abused hair, including a UV filter for protection, keratin amino acids, and vitamin B5. The serum itself has a very soft fragrance, which I love. Not too overpowering but enough that you can smell it on your hair. I am definitely buying more of these little gems! - Jenny J.

This 6-Piece Sheet Set Is So Indulgent

These are lovely sheets. They are soft, smooth, and fit well on my mattress. I've only washed them once so far, but they seem like they will hold up well, too. - Dana H.

This Thermos Keeps My Dog Hydrated

Making sure my dog is hydrated is so important when we're on a hike or at the dog park, and until now I haven't found a good solution. But this water bottle is such a clever and convenient design! The bottle itself is double-walled, and I found that it kept water cold (and even ice cubes unmelted) even after a long day in my warm car. The water bowl part is a silicone cup that fits onto the bottom of the bottle. It's easy to pull off and is just the right size for my medium-sized dog's muzzle, though a larger dog might find it too small. I also liked the little hanging loop on the screw-top lid, it's perfect for hanging from a backpack, or you could clip a poop bag dispenser onto it.

I did feel like, in the first couple of uses, the water had a bit of a metallic taste to it, which I hope will fade over repeated washes. It's pretty easy to clean with a bottle brush. - Jessica H.

I Loved This Men's T-Shirt so Much, I Bought a Bunch More

I got the navy-colored tee for my husband, and it fits very nice. Snug in the arms and across the chest but roomy across the belly area. It gives a nice, attractive look to the dad bod. I liked the look so much that I got on the site and ordered several more from their "made too many" section. They also wash up great and feel very soft to the touch. - Jan G.

Wow! These Pimple Patches Are an Essential Beauty Item

I LOVE these pimple patches! They are a necessary item for everyone! If you have a blemish or a stubborn pimple, you can just apply one of these to a clean face and sleep with it on.

This Window Defogging Sponge Works Like a Dream

I keep mine in my door pocket for quick and easy access. - Kristen G.

I Feel Like I'm at a Spa When I Use This Peppermint Body Scrub

I love this body scrub! I live in Michigan, and the winters are brutal on our skin. My skin gets dry and flaky. This organic body scrub moisturized and hydrated my skin. I love the peppermint smell. I feel like I’m at a spa while using the scrub! I feel great using this product frequently due to its organic ingredients. My legs and feet feel moisturized and smooth after showering! - Beck S.

This Eyecare Duo Is So Convenient & Easy to Use

Once again, this brand did not disappoint! I had previously used their daily under-eye balm stick and loved it. When I saw this one for day and night, I was super excited to try it. The product is so easy to use. You just rub it on under your eye area, and you’re done. The balm itself is soft, so it glides on easily, leaving your under-eye area feeling hydrated and smooth. The day formula has vitamin C and hyaluronic booster to help with dark circles and puffiness. The night formula has collagen, peptides, and retinol to aid in reducing the look of wrinkles. With daily use, you will see an improvement in your dark circles and puffiness. My eye area appears smoother and brighter with minimal effort on my part. That’s a win! - Jenny J.

Thanks to This Toilet Light, My Son No Longer Has to Stumble for the Light Switch

This toilet light is perfect for families with kids who get up in the night to use the restroom. Not only is it useful and fun, but my son loves it. He loves all the different colors. It was somewhat easy to set up, but it took a few tries to position it just right. -Amanda R.

I Love the Clean Ingredients in This Nourishing Lip Balm

The Beauty by Earth chapstick bundle is THE BEST. They are a clean-ingredient chapstick in some fun flavors that I really like. My kids love chapstick, but I hate the horrible ingredients that are in kids' chapsticks. With these, I let them each pick their own, and they love them. I don’t feel guilty giving them these! They also make my lips feel great, especially during these cold winter months! - Jamie F.

This Cup Holder Tray is Incredibly Convenient

Look, life gets busy and sometimes you gotta eat a meal in the car. This cup holder tray makes it so much more convenient because it easily holds all your food without the mess. And when it's not in use as a dinner tray, it holds all your stuff like devices, lip balm, spare change and more while still letting you use the cup holder for your drink. Genius!

This TikTok Viral Collagen Moisturizer Lived Up to the Hype

I have loved everything I have tried from MAREE, and this moisturizer is another one to add to my list. This cream is versatile as it works for both day and night use, and that’s a plus because it just makes my skincare routine easier. This moisturizer is thick and nourishing but without a sticky feeling to it. My skin feels hydrated and stays hydrated all day. It contains collagen, retinol, and hyaluronic acid, which have helped with my aging skin’s texture and appearance. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of is that it is unscented, and the unscented “scent” smells kind of like chemicals or plastic. I prefer scented products, but that’s just me! It wouldn’t deter me from purchasing again! - Jenny J.

The Wrinkle Lines Around My Lips Are Disappearing Thanks to This Lip Plumper

I was very skeptical about this lip plumper, but I am weirdly intrigued & pleased that my lips are plumper! I use this product once a day when I first put my face on in the morning! It’s a routine now that I enjoy! It’s super glossy & heats up my lips with a tingling sensation that does not burn or irritate at all. I feel that my lips have plumped out to a natural look (not an orangutan's butt look or an unnatural Kardashian look). - Debbie M.

This Salt Scrub Made My Skin Happy

Winter is the worst on skin all around, but my feet are especially unhappy when it's cold out. One use of this scrub, and my heels are looking and feeling so much better. This product smells good, is easy to use in or out of the shower, and works on all your dry, unhappy skin. - Sara W.

This Fun Shoe Powder De-Stank My Daily Runners

The packaging for this shoe powder is really fun! And I was really excited to use it. Opening it, the grape scent isn't overpowering, and it’s easy to open and shake into the shoe. This does the job and removes odors from the shoe. I used it on runners I use daily for runs, and like I said, it's a subtle smell and, dare I say, pleasant? The only criticism is that in black shoes when they get wet, the powder can show on the outside of the shoe. - Ashley H.

This Makeup Eraser Is So Soft, and It Reduces Waste

Wow!!!! This makeup eraser is very soft to the skin. Very little water is needed. Removed all my makeup and mascara. Amazing! Works very well. I keep it right in the bathroom so it's easy to access. Love it! - Amandeep A.

This Dark Spot Corrector Gave Me Visible Results in Less Than a Month

The Ashania Dark Spot Corrector is an effective solution for lightening dark spots and evening out skin tone. With my light skin and a few darker spots, I started to notice results around the four-week mark, as promised. Patience is key, but the results are worth it! - Cheryl K.

This Innovative Butter Knife Makes Stick Butter Spread With Ease

Never knew I needed this butter knife in my life until I had it. It makes spreading stick butter a breeze. Butter must be slightly softened first for it to work properly as well as learning the correct way to pull the knife, but once you play around with it, it works nicely. - Kristen G.

These Pumice Scrubbers Are Cleaning Magic

I was so skeptical of this product. How could it possibly work on tough toilet stains from hard water? But, to my amazement, it worked. It's a little like nails on a chalkboard when you use it, but it truly works, and I will be keeping this in my cleaning arsenal. - Sue H.

This Angry Mom Is a Fun Way to Steam-Clean Your Microwave

Just add vinegar and water to the Angry Mom's head, then place it in the microwave and let the magic happen.

This cute and practical cleaner adds a fun touch to your cleaning routine.

This Pink Stuff Cleaning Paste Is Amazing!

Wow, this cleaning paste is amazing! I had heard great things about the Pink Stuff cleaning line, but I never remembered to put any in my cart. So, I was happy to finally be able to try it out. We have a 20+-year-old bathtub that I thought the enamel had worn off in the middle. I was shocked that it brought my tub back to gleaming like new! The worn patch was not worn enamel at all but simply a stubborn built-up patch that normal cleaners could not penetrate. - Shannon W.

This Blanket Throw Is So Soft & Cozy

This blanket is great! It’s super soft with quality-feeling fabric. It’s lightweight yet keeps you warm! Color is beautiful — I got the gray. Looks great as well on the couch when not being used. - Taylor M.

This Clip-On Pasta Strainer Saves So Much Dishwasher Space

We hate how much room a colander takes up the dishwasher, and straining pasta or veggies with a pot lid is an exercise in futility. Enter this amazingly handy pasta strainer! It just clips on to any pot, and its flexible silicone design helps strain out water and protect your pasta. Best of all, it's dishwasher safe and takes up so much less room than a big colander.

These Stretchy Leggings Were Made to Run Errands In

These stretchy leggings have a hint of spandex so you can park your car a block away and run up a flight of stairs without thinking twice. They also come in a variety of fun patterns and colors for endless mix and match options.

OMG! This Hair Moisturizer Is in a League of Its Own

I did not have high expectations for this product. I have tried countless products to try to tame my incessantly frizzy hair — most with mediocre results. This product is in a league of its own. I used a few pumps onto my damp hair and dried and styled as usual. OMG! First off, my hair was silky smooth — I couldn't stop touching my hair all day. It held up beautifully between washes, not turning my hair greasy like other products I have used as well as keeping the frizz away. With a quick pass of my straightening iron, it looked as good as the first day. It also has a light, pleasant scent. I am very sensitive to scent, which also deters me from many products. I will reach for this every time I wash my hair and will be a repeat customer. - Shannon W.

This Genius Bottle Flipper Helps You Get Every Last Drop of Product

One of the things that drives us nuts is wasting products like shampoo because of that last bit you can never get out of the bottle. You too? You’ll love this simple, brilliant solution — a bottle flipper! It holds your bottle in place upside-down (can we all agree it’s hard to balance a bottle on its cap?) so every drop comes out. No more waste!

These Ball Hand Towels Double as Bathroom Decor

I Tell Everyone To Buy This Nail Clipper Set

I believe I've convinced nearly everybody I know to buy a pair of these nail clippers. They're constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel, with ultra-sharp cutting blades that give a perfectly crisp, clean cut — which was a revelation after getting by with dollar-store clippers for most of my life. An absolute steal at around $10 for the pair. -Chris S.
