We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A Skeletool 7-in-1 multitool to get your chore game started strong with two kinds of pliers, two kinds of wire cutters, a bottle opener, a knife, and a large bit driver. This tool is perfect for trimming loose threads, cutting stems in your garden, and handling all kinds of repairs on the go!
2. Some ultra-concentrated liquid laundry detergent if you're behind on laundry and don't want to haul out one of those huge, heavy bottles when two pumps of this hypoallergenic stuff works just as well and is better for the environment and your clothes!
3. And an oversize collapsible laundry drying rack to hang your freshly laundered clothes upon without the fear of them shrinking. (And it saves some power! Yay!)
4. A set of my fav Lotus "trolley" bags I know you'll love as much as I do for their ability to keep you organized in the grocery store (the most dreaded chore of all) and at home. At the store they open in the cart like a filing system so that you can sort to your heart's delight. There are even special compartments for eggs and glass bottles, which you can use for wine, but I like to use for the fancy olive oil section.
5. A Gear Hugger multipurpose lubricant that'll kiss squeaky doors, kids' toys, and cabinets goodbye with a quick spritz on the hinges. Best of all, it's made with plant-based, nontoxic, biodegradable ingredients, so it's perfectly safe to use around kiddos, pets, and your own human self!
6. A Quirky Cup Collective reading journal so the books taking over your nightstand and e-reader screen can FINALLY be organized into some semblance of order. It even has space to track upcoming releases, review books you've already read, and set challenges for yourself. (Or keep track of ones you've already joined!)
7. A RabbitAir HEPA air purifier if one of your chores is "freshen up that room and make it smell *not* like swimsuits have been drying in there all summer." Air quality is so HUGELY important — now more than ever as so many humans work from home — and this is one of my favs because it A) Works wonders for cleaning out my air and B) Is SUPER versatile. I love that it can easily be hung on the wall or set against it.
8. Speaking of air-cleaning chores, Moxē 100% essential oil room and linen spray is something I swear by to add that ~final touch~ to my cleaning efforts. And because it's made with clean ingredients and smells AMAZING, I spray it literally everywhere: Bedroom, bathroom, car interior, my pillow. It's like a little treat for finishing my chores!
9. A BruMate cooler because whether your chore list includes yard work in the hot sun or watching the kiddos in your life chase a ball around a field while you sweat in the stands, you're gonna want a nice, handsfree, LIGHT way to cool off.
10. A laptop desk with a pillow cushion and storage pocket so catching up on emails can be as ~cushiony~ an experience as possible. (And that wrist support cushion will help keep your hand posture A+ and scare carpal tunnel away, too!)
11. A portable file box perfect for that stack of Important Mail™ you've been moving from counter to counter hoping it will sort itself. (Spoiler alert: It won't.)
12. A hard-working pet stain and odor-eliminating carpet spray to tackle those "little gifts" your furry friend keeps leaving around the house. :')
13. And an automatic gravity pet food and water dispenser so you're not constantly needing to refill your pet's bowls and having to answer to their puppy dog/kitty cat pleading eyes.
14. A pair of outdoor canvas utility gloves because dirty work never looked so ~pretty~ and felt so whimsical.
15. An outdoor compost bin which'll help you find a place to put your organic waste because why just chuck it if you can use it to make next year's garden or your house plants all the happier?
16. And an outdoor shed if you need a little extra space to store all those new summer toys and gadgets you got this season. (Looking at you, giant four-to-score game.)
17. A 52-week tear-off meal planning pad for scratching "eat out less" off your to-do list. Yummy meals favor the prepared, as they say.
Check out a TikTok of the weekly meal planning pad in action.
Sweetzer and Orange is a small business specializing in planners, stationery, and educational products.
Promising review: "The magnet is great, sticks to fridge very well, does not slide or move. Perfect for planning meals and adding needed grocery items to the right side. Then you just tear off the right side and head to the store. This has made our family meal planning so much easier!" —SandyBeach
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles).
18. A dishwasher magnet so you don't add more unnecessary work to your load by having to question if you should rerun the dang machine again "just to be sure."
Promising review: "I bought this because of a TikTok video. Super cool and now nobody has to ask me if the dishes are clean or not." —D. Washington
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in six styles).
19. A front seat organizer because cleaning everyone's front seat is on their chore list and I refuse to hear otherwise. (We all have weird 'lil straw wrappers and paper clips and stuff up there, right?) Well, no more with this guy! Perfection, thy name is two extra cup holders AND easy-leather cleanup for any spills that might occur.
Promising review: "Most awesome thing I bought all year! I have a small sports car, no cup holders. This thing looks awesome, is well-made, and is sturdy! It's everything I needed, and it looks fantastic in my car, even though I have a dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" —2019
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in six colors).
20. A DogBuddy pooper scooper which everyone from your neighbors to your pup will thank you for getting. The bags are connected to the scooper so it's a one-stop shop for cleaning up your dog's mess on your outings. Less time spent scooping is more time spent on walkies, which is a dog AND a human win!
Check out a TikTok of the DogBuddy scooper in action.
DogBuddy is a small business specializing in pet care products including bowls, mats, and scoopers.
Promising review: "I normally don’t leave reviews but this is amazing! It’s easy to use and saves so many dog bags if you’re taking a number of dogs on a walk because you don’t need to open a new bag for each poop. It also makes the whole process a lot less gross. I would 100% recommend this for dog walks and even picking up poop in the backyard. It holds a lot more than you’d think!" —Joslyn Cavitt
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
21. A HelloFresh everything-you-need meal kit subscription if you would like to decrease your grocery shopping trips, simplify your meal planning, AND change up the four things you know how to make. HEAR ME OUT. I — like you — have heard the podcast ads forever and kinda just rolled my eyes, BUT I AM A CHANGED WOMAN.
22. A silicone "Broombi" for, like, all the surfaces in your home: Hardwood, tile, windows, carpets and rugs, under your bed, in those pesky tight corners... The list goes on. And it's easy to clean, unlike regular brooms that just love to collect little icky clumps of hair in the bristles you hate cleaning almost more than the floors themselves.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilt messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable, stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" —Sandra Moyer
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors).
23. A bunch of Miracle-Gro "food spikes" the plant-kind in your home would like to point your attention to because they promise to perk up your houseplants and keep the good times rolling for a month or two after use... so you're covered if they don't make the chore list again for a while.
Promising review: "I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." —victoria
Get 48 spikes from Amazon for $12.22, and get a version for orchids here.
24. An AirPod cleaning pen to finally get all that gunk out of your precious AirPods. (Your ears AND your to-do list are going to be so grateful.)
Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members and boy am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" —JMilwaukee
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
25. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that's a total drop-and-go situation and will clean your disposal blades, the sidewalls, and beneath the splashguard, ensuring your kitchen smells ~amazing~ with seriously minimal effort.
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.76.
26. Some wood scratch cover if you've been meaning to spruce up those pesky high-hand-traffic areas around your doorknobs and locks, on dining room tables, and any scuffed furniture that could use a little shine. No sanding or buffing required! (Though I do recommend testing on a small area before going hog-wild.)
Promising review: "I can't believe how well Old English works! I recently purchased a home where a dog previously lived and had horribly scratched the woodwork. I thought I may have to sand and refinish the woodwork around two doors. Old English saved me a lot of work! " —Behold Behold!
Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available for light woods).
27. A Fiskars heavy-duty shovel that'll go the distance and not leave you with a half-finished task and a broken handle.
28. And a stand-up weed puller to keep those pesky weeds from messing up your lawn. Plus, with this handy tool, you won't let them mess up your knees or back either. We're not adding PT for our joints to our list TODAY, thank you very much.
