Your scalp deserves care, too, and this pure rosemary oil is just the ticket. Reviewers say that in addition to softer locks, they’ve noticed more regrowth in less than a month. Plus, the bottle comes with a convenient comb attachment for easier application.

They may be aesthetic, but reviewers say they’re also surprisingly durable, holding up to daily use without peeling or fading (and can be easily removed or repositioned). You’ll get preprinted labels for almost every spice or ingredient you can think of, including really niche ones like za’atar, tajin, chervil, and other funky flavourings you might be playing around with lately. Because they’re made of vinyl instead of paper, you won’t have to worry about them getting wrinkled or smudged if you accidentally grab a jar with a wet hand.

Give yourself a place to stash your most precious bling. It can hold up to eight rings (more or less, depending on their size) and features a weighted base to keep things upright.

Wrestling with a soggy, soapy sponge is not our idea of a good time, so we’re planning to make the swap to this clever alternative. Inside the handle, you’ll find a reservoir for dish soap that you can dispense whenever you need extra suds (a locking mechanism prevents it from leaking in the meantime), while the plush scrubbing head makes short work of grime and food residue — even on finicky surfaces like non-stick cookware. Reviewers love that they can easily replace the cleaning head when it gets dingy, too.

You may have noticed your grabbers feeling a lil’ parched lately, and that’s thanks to factors like extreme cold and harsh indoor heating (winter in Canada, amirite?). Slipping on a pair of these moisturizing gloves is just the ticket for solving dryness, itchiness, and irritation, keeping your skin from cracking, peeling, or splitting. You’ll only need to rock them for 10 minutes, so you won’t have to dedicate a whole evening to getting your hands back to tip-top condition.

Unlike a basic cruet, this clever container offers three dispensing options: a fine mist for dressing salads, a consistent stream for seasoning a skillet, and a push-to-pour mechanism when you need a generous glug. Reviewers love that it makes oil distribution a lot easier and gives them more control over how much they use when they’re cooking up a meal.

Save your cash on the pricey options because reviewers say these sponges are the best in the biz. They’re soft and not too absorbent, so you can actually put the product on your face (instead of it getting sucked into the fibres). Their blending power is unparalleled, too, leaving you with a smooth canvas for your makeup creations — even on textured skin.

After trying a slew of other solutions, reviewers report that this heating pad works better on everything from post-gym soreness to menstrual cramps. The generous cord length means you won’t need to crouch or lie near a plug, and you can easily swap between temperature and timer settings to customize your treatment. The cover is soft enough to use on bare skin, and if it ever gets dingy, simply detach it from the cord and toss it in with your regular laundry.

Devoted fans of LRP’s iconic Cicaplast line will instantly recognize its barrier-repairing powers, now iterated in a clever formula just for your smoocher. It’s especially good for chilly, blustery conditions, helping to not just heal dry and chapped skin but also make it more resistant to damage from plunging temperatures. In fact, reviewers say it outperforms every other formula they’ve tried.

Not all of us are handy with a needle and thread, so when things go wrong — like, say, a seam rips at the last second — this genius webbed tape will help you fix it. It’s thermal-activated, so once you apply it where you need it, just do a couple of passes over it with a hot iron, and you’re set.
Amazon Canada
Safely take your snacks and dips on the go! These have tight-fitting lids for leak prevention, with a durable design that’ll never pop open or get crushed in your overstuffed bag (Ziplocs could never). Reviewers are especially fond of their space-saving stacking design — not to mention how easy they are to clean. Just toss ’em in the dishwasher!
Amazon Canada
Don’t get weirded out by these strange little pods. With just a splash of water, they’ll transform into a silky cleansing gel that reviewers say makes their skin look AMAZING. These get seriously sudsy, which means you could even cut them in half and still give your face a major deep cleaning. They would also make a great addition to your travel toiletry kit — no spills or liquid restrictions here!
Bounce
We cannot stress this enough — these are MUST for any pet parents. They’ll do everything you expect of a dryer sheet (leave your clothing smelling great, banish wrinkles and static, soften your stuff — you know the drill) while creating a protective layer on your fabrics to keep annoying pet hair from sticking to them.

Redness, dryness, and flakiness are all things this rescue balm fights against. It goes on green before transforming into the perfect shade of colour-correcting beige to camouflage irritation while soothing your skin and helping it heal. Reviewers say just a dab smooths out their complexion to the point where they can comfortably skip foundation (and it even hides angry zits, too).

If you’ve been looking for a solution to sore, aching knees, you’ve found it. These compressive straps work by supporting your patella so it stays in perfect alignment when you’re lifting weights, hiking, or playing sports. After testing them, reviewers found their knees cracked less, and even chronic issues (like arthritis pain) were noticeably reduced. It doesn’t hurt that they have gel pads and adjustable straps for optimal comfort.

It’s about time you took this cult-fave toner for a spin. This edition is free of irritants (like alcohol), making it a dream for anyone looking to add moisture, reduce pore visibility, and balance their skin’s pH. Reviewers say that with regular use, they noticed fewer breakouts, smoother texture, and less frequent flare-ups of eczema and rosacea.

Fact: winter is soup season. So the next time you’re craving a warm bowl, make sure to whip out this appliance — it’ll heat and blend in under 18 minutes, but it can also whisk up chunky stews, compote, and smoothies. Reviewers love that it’s both space-saving and easy to use, freeing them up to make appetizers, main courses, or do just about anything other than slave over a hot stove.

Kiss post-shave irritation and ingrown hairs an enthusiastic goodbye by swiping this solid bar onto your skin before going in with your razor. The clear formula will let you see what you’re shaving while skin-conditioning ingredients (like sunflower and coconut oils, white tea, and shea butter) leave things soft, smooth, and moisturized. Reviewers have ditched all other foams and creams entirely, saying this travel-friendly bar gives them the closest shave they’ve had in years.
Amazon Canada
Sure, these are undeniably adorable, but what reviewers really love is how razor-sharp these shears are. Their batwing design is as aesthetic as it is ergonomic, creating a profiled handle that’s extra comfortable on your hands when you’re snipping and cutting.

With this kit, you won’t need to be a pro to get pro-level results — reviewers say it’s completely foolproof. The instructions are easy to decode, and you can easily customize your shade depending on how long you leave the formula on. As an added bonus, you won’t experience the burn or unpleasant smell that other brands tend to have.

Adding this to your nighttime routine will feel like a game-changer. It feels ah-mazing on the skin: rich and creamy while absorbing in seconds, so you won’t have to stress about leaving a greasy smear on the bedsheets. It’s scented with lavender and a touch of vanilla, and the fact that it basically eliminates dry skin overnight is really just a bonus.
Amazon Canada
It breaks down all the icky stuff hiding out of reach, so you won’t have to worry about hidden grease and goop clogging up your plumbing (or fork over big bucks to get things fixed). You’ll only need to use it once a month — just peel off the cap sticker, pop it on the bottom rack, and run a cleaning cycle.
Amazon Canada
Each spoon has dual measurements — for both dry and liquid ingredients — which means you’ll be able to flip between a splash of sherry and dried oregano flakes without first having to rummage through your drawers for separate tools. Reviewers love that the smaller spoons fit neatly into most spice jars, so you won’t make a mess trying to get to the ground pepper. You’ll get a set of seven dual-ended spoons and a leveller.
Amazon Canada
Making the switch to natural loofahs is a great step to reducing microplastics in your life. Reviewers love these in particular, saying they’re big enough to wash their entire bodies (even their backs) while still delivering on exfoliation to keep dry skin at bay. They’re also hypoallergenic and biodegradable.

Few hair products work as hard as a good hairspray. This one has a hold strong enough to lock in elaborate updos and keep plaits and braids smooth for hours without leaving your mane feeling tacky, sticky, or crunchy. Reviewers turn to this formula over other brands and say it’s surprisingly effective at building volume at the roots, too.
