If you're tired of never knowing which batteries you have around (and whether you even have enough to juice up your remote) you need this organizer. It's the best way we've found to keep batteries from making a mess in your catchall drawer. You can even use it to test old batteries for signs of life.
"This is just what we needed!" shared one happy shopper. "I was able to take a bunch of random bags and boxes of batteries and organize them all into one little box. I felt like I was forever searching for batteries and I never knew if they were new or old. We would also constantly buy batteries when we needed them because we never knew if we had any at home. It's a little victory but this is one step closer to my house being truly organized."
A $2 fix to your cat's unending boredom

They beg for this, while the expensive toys sit. Why not give it a try?"
The gentlest toothbrush of all

The angled brush gets in the hard-to-reach spots too.

Use the $8 waterproof brush to gently massage your scalp with the silicone bristles, and all that tightness will simply melt away. It's lightweight, and safe to use on all hair types and even sensitive scalps.
One shopper claimed it helps with thinning hair. "I purchased this massager because my stylist told me massaging my scalp might help with my thinning hair. I have used this every time I shampoo which is twice a week... I have seen amazing hair regrowth. Before I used this product I could see my scalp on the top of my head. Now I have to separate the hair completely in order to see the scalp."

A genius way to make the most out of each avocado

This tool does it all for you in a seamless, fluid motion. It's so easy to clean, too — just pop it on the top rack of your dishwasher.
"Avocado? Yes, please!" shared one happy shopper. "This tool is awesome. Easy to cut open the fruit. Pit remover works well, just push onto the pit and give it a twist, and the pit pops right out. The best part is the slicer. Makes beautiful slices for a great presentation...The tool can then be used to scrape any remaining fruit out of the skin."

It gently detangles, plus it helps release any dirt or dander that might've accumulated in your pet's fur.
"I brushed off enough cat hair to have another cat," shared a shopper. "...I'm starting to think Porkins doesn't even have any skin, she must be made entirely of fur as it NEVER ENDS. She's completely passed out now from all the brushing, she loved it. The push button to retract the bristles is fantastic and makes for easy cleanup! Totally worth every penny, and I'm sure Porkins would agree as well if she understood the basic concept of monetary values."

All you have to do is roll the gel over the area you want to clean, give it a second to pick up the muck, then peel it off the surface and watch as the hard-to-reach dirt comes free. Gross, but also amazing.
"I purchased this product to clean those little spaces in my car filled with dog hair and random crumbs from my husband, and it works amazing," one fan says. "It picked up everything and didn’t leave a residue. The lemon scent was faint and didn’t overpower the vehicle while I was cleaning it. This definitely got in all the little nooks and crannies."

A rip-proof shower curtain liner that makes over 134,000 shoppers sing

A truly revolutionary hair catcher
Have you heard of the TubShroom and its mighty ability to catch all the hair in your shower drain before it even thinks of clogging? If not, you will be amazed by this bestselling mini gadget, on sale for $13, that fits snuggly inside your drain to catch hair. When it comes time to clean it out, just wipe it off, throw away the unwanted hair and place it back in your drain. Sorry plumbers of the world, but we no longer need your services.
This fan raves, "I was skeptical about this little rubber strainer, but I needed something to save my drains from the piles of hair that fall out of my head. I tried others and they all failed miserably. This thing is amazing! It fit into my standard drain perfectly, and I don't think a single hair slipped by it. It was pretty gross to see how much hair I lost in just one shower, but it was comforting to know it wasn't clogging my drain."
