A toilet accessory you’ll wonder how you ever lived without
Why it’s good: The worst part about getting up to go to the bathroom at 2 a.m. is getting blinded by the bathroom light. That’s why our audience manager, Rachel Moskowitz, loves her toilet light. Not only does it give off a soft glow unlike the jarring overhead light but it has a motion sensor so you don’t even have to turn on a switch.

Our favorite oil diffuser—but for your car
Why it’s good: When our experts tested oil diffusers, InnoGear came out on top in terms of quality and price. So we’d expect the brand’s car essential oil diffuser—which fits in your cupholder and plugs into the USB port—to be equally as top-notch.

This clever attachment that your laundry room needs
Why it’s good: Buying those massive jugs of laundry detergent that sit neatly on your shelf are convenient—but they can also be messy (hello, drips and spills!).

A divided bowl so you’ll never have to eat soggy cereal again
Why it’s good: Cereal should be crunchy, not mushy. That’s why I’m adding this bowl to my to-buy list ASAP. It has two separate sections (one for milk and one for cereal) that are connected by a slide for adding more Lucky Charms to the milk as you go. Reviewers say it changed the way they ate cereal forever.

The thigh-chafing solution with a cult following
Why it’s good: Meet the answer to your thigh-chafing prayers.

Our video producer and editor, Melissa Rorech, tested them herself and recommends the Unisex line.

Why it’s good: There are two things I wonder about most in life: where do all the bruises on my legs come from and how can I never find a bobby pin when I need it.

This ridiculously clever umbrella
Why it’s good: Most umbrellas keep you dry—until you put them down and the rain-soaked outside ends up getting all over you, your car, and any other innocent bystanders. Not the Sharpty Inverted Umbrella, though. It folds up into itself so you can avoid the whole “what do I do with this wet umbrella” thing. Just take it from Rorech who says it’s the best thing she owns.

This must-have for anyone who loves peanut butter
Why it’s good: I might be almost 30, but PB&Js are still my favorite sandwich (and my go-to lunch most days). So I go through a ton of peanut butter—and a ton of jar-scraping. But now my sticky knuckles and fruitless efforts can be a thing of the past, with the PB-Jife, according to reviewers. The 12-inch knife is extra long so it can reach the bottom of even the biggest jars and has a broad blade that’s ideal for scooping and spreading.

The best way to prevent your food from going bad
