The 50 Smartest Products on Amazon, Ranked

They may look a little silly, but these glasses will be a lifesaver if you or someone you travel with struggles with motion sickness. People swear by these things, and if you've ever experienced motion sickness, then you know what a relief these are.

Sure, they're called hoodie hangers, and they work great for that, allowing you to hang up to six hoodies in a very small amount of closet space. But think of all the other things you could use these for — belts, bags, hats, scarves... the list goes on and on. We love these, and we bet you will, too. So smart!

These pimple patches from grace & stella are a must have! I love that they are translucent when you first put them on so that you can wear them during the day! I put one on and took my kids to the park and completely forgot I was wearing it because it’s so barely noticeable, but then it turns white hours later when it’s ready to be taken off! They dry up pimples and pull all of the nasty stuff out of them! I’ve also used on blackheads that are hard to get, and this softens them and makes it so I can get those blackheads out! - Jamie F.

This is the coolest puzzle board! So easy to put together! It’s huge, and it rotates so it fits perfectly on our huge dining room table. It has 6 pull-out drawers that we were able to sort all of our puzzle pieces in! We got a 1000-piece puzzle to try it out on, and it was so fun! I wish I would have taken a picture before it was all done but we were so busy doing the puzzle I forgot! It’s a huge hit in our family because we can just move our puzzle board to eat and then replace it on the table without messing anything up! 10/10 perfect gift for any puzzler! - Jamie F.

When I got this cute little crab spoon holder/steam releaser in the mail, I was excited because it was so darn cute! And it works :-) — that’s obviously, even better. It was simple and straightforward to use, although I found with my particular pots, he’s not 100% stable, pretty good, but not 100%. However, with an easy fix, I put him in one of the handles, and there were no issues at all. He’s cute. He’s useful. He’s fun and easy to clean. - Theresa H.

My job as an outside salesperson means I spend a lot of time in my car! It's my office, my lunchroom, etc. I found the cup holder tray was a convenient place to keep my food instead of in my lap. I didn’t have to worry about spilling on my dress clothes or on my coat. I will note, the cup holder tray fit in one of our vehicles, but not in the other. The part that fit in the cup holder was too large (at its smallest setting) for my Enclave. I love not only a place for my food, but also the slot to hold my phone! I’m always on my phone throughout the day! I also like the many ways to adjust the arms to allow for a perfect tray placement for me! -Beck S.

I honestly just thought that the black staining on my washing machine was normal and permanent. After just one use (yes, one!), it was gone. All you need to do is apply it onto the lining of your washer, and ta-da! The end result speaks for itself. - Gillian O.

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.

My kids love this swing! It’s a disk swing that is big enough for my 5 year old and almost 3 year old to enjoy together! The fabric feels like it will hold up even with my crazy kiddos playing on it everyday. It took two of us to get it put together correctly. But once it was all put together, it was easy to hang (we just hung it from our swingset), but there was hardware in it to hang from a tree if needed. My kids are happy and really have enjoyed this swing! -Jamie F.

Here's a little kitchen tool I didn't know I needed! This butter spreader is attractive and seems to be made of high-quality stainless steel. What I liked best is that it can be used in multiple ways: the serrated edge is good for slicing cheese or cutting a piece of toast in half. The other edge can be used for scraping or spreading butter. The hole in the very end can be used for creating little curls of butter. And it's wide and flat enough to be used to spread butter, jam, or soft cheese. This spreader would also be nice on a cheese plate. - Jessica H

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.

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.

Say goodbye to soggy little handprints that mess up your space and leave behind puddles of water that you have to clean up endlessly. Your kids (and you) will love these super absorbent fluffy ball hand towels. They're cute, decorative, and functional. And frankly, they're pretty fun to dry your hands on, too, so this could help get rid of all those drip drip drips around your sinks from inadequate (or absent) hand drying.

I love the concept of this trivet set. It really is a three-in-one, using less storage space. I was a little worried about how thin the trivets were when separated, but I tried one out on a heavy pot of stew, and it did just fine. They are made of silicone and don't slide around when something is placed on them. It's a great design and a kitchen must-have. - Kristen G.

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 $20 foot 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. - Karen F.

I love this foaming mask. It left my face feeling extremely clean and very soft. It’s super easy to use. A little goes a long way, and there's a lot of product in the tub, so it’s an excellent value. It’s also super FUN to watch the magic of the foam — I couldn’t stop laughing at my reflection in the mirror. I already use a few Elizabeth Mott products, and I am definitely going to add this to my regular skincare routine. -Terri N.

Customers find the dryer vent cleaner effective at removing years of lint from vents and appreciate its quality and ease of use with vacuum cleaners. The product is well worth the price and offers good value for money, with one customer noting it's an affordable solution to potential safety risks. 

PSA: This innovative tool is just as fun to use as it is effective. It manages to grab every embedded hair on furniture, carpets, and more—all without pricey refills or replacement parts. A must-buy for every pet owner.

I really like this mascara. It makes my lashes full and plump. I didn't notice any clumping, and it goes on smoothly. My only wish would be that it were waterproof, but it is not. - Kristen G.

I don't know who was more excited to try this sandwich cutter, my kids or me! Having a daughter with celiac disease means all the fun and convenient foods at the grocery store are out of the question for our household due having gluten. I love that this product came with two different sizes to use because most gluten-free bread isn't the size of typical bread. The product was easy enough to use even for my kids (7 and 9). We've used it everyday since it arrived! - Jillian L.

I used Angry Orange spray on a new spot on our stairs. I cleaned up the solids and sprayed the remaining stain with a small amount of product — just enough to cover it fully. I couldn’t believe how fast it started working! The stain started to fade IMMEDIATELY! I let it sit for around 15-20 minutes, then came back to it. The stain was completely, 100% GONE! I used some paper towels to blot the area and soak up any remaining liquid and let it dry. I wanted to wait a little while before writing my review to see if any remnant of the stain would reappear after it dried. It has been a week, and it still looks great! No residue or shadow stain.- Terri N.

I don’t wake up looking like I did when I was 20. As I’ve aged, I notice AM eye puffiness and bags. Then I started using these cult-favorite eye patches first thing in the morning. I love them! I have super sensitive skin, but these are gentle and don’t cause irritation. Bye-bye bags. Hello, bright eyes. -Karen F.

Customers find the lip stain's color quality excellent, describing it as gorgeous, natural-looking, and super pigmented. They appreciate its ease of application, with one customer noting it goes on smoothly. 

This product is awesome. It fits the drain perfectly and is super easy to clean out. It’s way better than any other hair catcher I’ve tried. Plus, my kids won’t cut themselves on it. -Mary C.

I have chronically, perpetually dry, chapped, flaking lips and have been searching for the holy grail of lippies forever. Leave it to Wonderskin to come out with a lightweight lip oil that not only hydrates, but repairs — AND it leaves a nice hint of color, too. This lip serum is not heavy, sticky, gooey, or runny (and not expensive). It goes on smoothly, and it FEELS GOOD on my lips, like I can feel it sinking in and going to work to hydrate my lips and fix the flakiness and patchiness that have always plagued me. The bonus is how it reacts to my skin’s chemistry and leaves a lovely hint of pink that is very natural-looking. And the shine! *Chef’s kiss!* - Terri N.

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 jar opener is very clever and practical. Easy to install and barely visible. It took me a few tries to really get it right. Once you figure it out, it’s literally just holding the jar tight and turning it — you hear the pop, and that’s it! I also like the fact that, even though I was a bit unsure at first, when the jar pops open there’s no mess — no brine or sauce splashing out. Overall, an amazing gadget. Takes zero space, it’s always there so you don’t have to go digging through a drawer for a tool, and it solves an everyday kitchen challenge (foodies, hear me out). It also looks like it’ll stay there forever. The cost is super low, so what more can you ask? - Amaia Z.

This is my new go-to self-tanner! I love this brand and all their products, and they have super clean ingredients! It has a nice smell, and it really does work! Gives you a beautiful bronze glow that you don’t have to worry about any harsh chemicals! I love it! - Jamie F.

This product is good for minor and surface level acne. I feel the mighty patch works much better for deeper pimples. Dots for Spots didn't pull out as much gunk from the pimple so the pimple lasted longer. Where as the other pimple patch brand I've used really gets rid of the pimple over night and pulls a lot of the gunk. This brand did help with the redness and some inflammation. - Koryne K.

If you have pets or kids that turn your area rugs into a jumbled mess (I do!), these corner rug gripper pads are going to be life-changing. They adhere to the corners of your rugs with a strong adhesive and then grip the rug to the floor so it doesn't slide easily. Imagine being able to walk anywhere in your home and find your rugs where you intended them to be. Magic!

I own a German Shepherd dog, so cleaning tools are pretty common to come by in my household. Truthfully, I've purchased more than one pet hair removal device in the past couple of years, but the Chom Chom roller is one of the few that actually works! It reminds me of a lint roller in the sense that I can roll away fuzz and pet hair off of my couch, clothing, rug, etc. quickly. It helps make clean-up a lot easier with a pet, and makes vacuuming less of a chore. Plus, I don't have to clean or replace it - I just toss the hair out of the small compartment once done.

Miss Mouth's Messy Steppers Shoe Cleaner did not disappoint. I love this product! I wear all sorts of canvas sneakers, and they do get dirty and grungy-looking from time to time. I tried this product out, and what a miracle! They looked so clean. Great value, and I will always keep this product in my cleaning supplies. Love, love love. - Sue H.

Tonymoly's Tako remains an enduring favorite of Korean beauty product enthusiasts. This little black octopus packs serious blackhead fighting power: a blend of marine plant extracts, black mud, and charcoal combine into a scrubber that exfoliates your skin while extracting blackheads, sebum, and other pore-clogging impurities. Plus, it's just doggone cute.

After years of using loofahs, I was looking for something more. My skin didn’t feel as smooth as it used to after my showers. That’s when I found this washcloth. After one use, I was hooked. This exfoliating towel leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. The towel's long length makes it easy to scrub those hard-to-reach spots on my back without any awkward acrobatics. Even my husband loves it. - Christina B

This collagen mask makes my face instantly firmer and smoother. While they call it an "overnight mask," even 30 minutes makes a huge difference. It has become a big part of my self-care ritual, and I'm super happy I found it. - Karen F.

When it comes to holiday gifting, nothing beats shopping for our four-legged friends. Case in point: this genius 22-ounce water bottle for their walks. Simply squeeze it to fill the bowl, and release to drain the water back in.

I'm betting I don't have to tell you why this zoo stuffie organizer is so adorable. I think it's a fun way to keep your kids' rooms organized, and it's so darn cute that your kids might even be motivated to put those stuffed animals away themselves. Or one can dream, anyway.

There's no piece of cookware I hate cleaning more than a colander, and that's why I love this clip-on Pasta Pal. This inexpensive strainer clips to your pots and saucepans, allowing you to quickly drain pasta water or cooking fat without adding additional dishware to your dirty dish pile. It's constructed of high-grade, dishwasher-safe silicone, and works with almost any size of cookware. -Chris S.

We are obsessed with this adorable egg cooker and holder! You put your eggs in the little penguin bellies and then boil them in water for soft or hard boiled eggs. Then, you take the whole contraption out, let it air-dry for a bit, and you can store the whole thing in the fridge. Imagine opening your fridge door and seeing these cuties every time? Super cute, super functional, and super simple.

Fogged-up windshields and side mirrors are more than just an annoyance; they're dangerous for visibility when driving. Nix yours with this $5 window defogging sponge that works so much better than your jacket sleeve. It's also great for general cleaning of your windshield. I know for certain mine is filthy most of the time, so I'm really looking forward to getting this package delivered!

These are amazing! The box they arrived in was small and they were wrapped really tightly — a small inconvenience and totally worth it. The pillows looked like pancakes at first, but they fluffed up a bit in a few hours. (Pro tip: Stand them upright to get them to fluff faster.) The pillows aren't super plushy or thick, but they are soft and give just enough support. You can squeeze them for more cushiness if you want it. The best part is that they really are cooler than most. All pillows will get warm eventually from body heat, but these ones stay cool a lot longer than any others that I've tried (and I've tried a lot of them). I would buy these again in a heartbeat, they're great. - Carrie G.

Wow these shower steamers work great! Woke up with a stuffy nose this morning, so I gave these a try in my shower, and no more stuffy nose. They smell great, cleared my nose, and were perfect. - Sue H.

These stickers are so genius and easy to use. They block out annoying life. It was a positive experience. - Valinda O.

I have a cat and this product is a must have! I love that it’s non-toxic, so I can use it around my cat and my kids! My cat is a long hair cat, so she gets hairballs, and this has taken the smell and mess out of my floors! I have even used it in some stinky shoes, and it worked wonders! I love the spring mint smell, and it really eliminates smells! - Jamie F.

This eyeshadow goes on very smooth, it has a very creamy texture, that doesn't pull or tug on sensitive eyelids. The product blends well and for me, it lasted all day. I didn't notice any clumping or creasing and the color was a very nice neutral shade. - Kristen G.

This hair oil works! Anybody who needs to tame their dry, frizzy or unruly hair should purchase this product. The product itself feels a bit heavy in the palm of your hand but it is actually more on the lightweight side. It made my hair feel silky and look shiny but without the weight of a typical hair oil. You really only need a small amount (I use 3 pumps) for medium length hair. A little goes a long way. It also has a very light scent, which is nice. I also pair this with the Boldplex 6 Hair Serum for an added layer of nourishment. This product delivers the results it promises. - Jenny J.

I loved this product. It made my face feel smooth and look brighter. I love how it absorbs into my skin almost instantly. Its not greasy feeling. I have had no side effects from using the product, I also love that its made here in the United States. - Kristen G.

I love this foot oil! I have experienced leg and feet pain for years. When I am in bad pain, I haven’t found anything that gives me temporary relief… until now! (I have even tried surgery and prescription medication.) I got relief from my pain! I cannot tell you how excited I am to find a product that helps! I love that the active ingredient is just menthol! I like that it is a topical solution.

I tried both the cream and oil options — my personal preference is the cream. I did not experience any skin irritations. The menthol odor is a bit strong in the room where you apply the product, I personally didn’t mind the smell. The smell on my body is very minimal, so no problem immediately being around others. An additional bonus is that it moisturizes my feet! Boy, is that helpful during the winter months. - Beck S.

I really love the cuticle oil. It has helped with my dry cuticles, and it’s better to put it on at nighttime! I would definitely recommend this brand, too! - Colleen B.

I'm a little skeptical of using a pad to apply product just because you never quite know how much you're applying, but I still liked using these glycolic acid pads. They're cooling and make your face feel a little cleaner and more refreshed, and they're a quick and easy way to feel like you're doing something good for your skin without a lot of work on your part. -Sarah W.
