44 brilliant things you've never heard of with tons of glowing amazon reviews

These storage wraps are made from cotton and coated in beeswax and jojoba oil. The result is a recyclable, reusable way to keep your food fresh and sanitary, whether you're wrapping a sandwich or covering some leftovers. Each sheet lasts about a year and is entirely biodegradable when you're done.

This KAFRI headphone stand and wireless charger takes care of tangled cords on your desk, all while charging up your device.

If you're wondering, "Do I really need another appliance?" reviewers say yes — because the Dash Rapid egg cooker is "one of the best inventions ever made." This small gadget "couldn't be easier."

When reviewers say that Mike's hot honey is good on everything, they mean everything: "Soft pretzels, toast, biscuits, waffles, cereal, yogurt, ice cream and definitely pizza." This condiment only has three ingredients, so it's Paleo, gluten-free, and all natural, but the honey, Brazilian chilies, and vinegar come together flawlessly to create a surprisingly delicious addition to any meal.

The Trtl is not your average travel pillow. Instead of a scratchy, inflatable U-shape, this option offers a fleece material with a hidden brace inside.

It's even machine-washable and folds up into a lightweight, portable square.

If you're not a morning person, but you'd like to be, reviewers say that the LBell sunrise clock is one of the best investments you could make.

As a result, you wake up gently while simultaneously hacking your circadian rhythm. There's even a USB port, an FM radio, and seven different color options.

Marlowe exfoliating soap is gaining loads of recognition because it's simple, affordable, and efficient. Ingredients like green tea extract and passionflower gently cleanse and hydrate the skin, while deep sea algae and willow bark exfoliate away any dead cells or build-up. "I have probably tried about 10 different exfoliating soaps and this is the best by far," reviewers say, not to mention it's a favorite among those with sensitive skin, eczema, and allergies.

If it takes you a few weeks to finish a bottle of wine, you're not alone — which is why the Vacu Vin pump has thousands of reviews, not to mention a number-one best-seller status. This gadget removes the excess air from the bottle and seals it with one of two included stoppers, so your wine tastes like new for up to two weeks. "My wife and I enjoy a glass of wine every now and then and we wasted quite a lot of wine over the years," one reviewer says. "For the small amount of money this cost I have already saved that much or more in wine."

Whether your local grocery store has started to charge for plastic bags or you're making the switch of your own accord, BeeGreen reusable bags have a 4.8-star rating for several reasons.

For another, they're three times bigger than standard grocery bags, but fold up into tiny squares that store easily in your backpack, glove compartment, or pocket. Finally, they're quick-drying, machine-washable in case of spills, and available in loads of color options.

If you spend as much time at a desk as most people, your spine health likely suffers. That said, one buyer said the Gaiam Classic Balance Ball Chair "[...] is so incredibly comfortable and stable!" because it strengthens the core and promotes proper posture while you sit.

The pages of the Rocketbook Everlast are reusable and wipe clean with a damp cloth, so you can save paper and money.

Each notebook comes with one special pen and you can get it in your choice of six different colors.

It seems unlikely that you'd be able to snag a clear-sounding, comfortable, Bluetooth 5.0-enabled pair of headphones for $30 — which is probably why TOZO's earbuds have nearly 250,000 reviews on Amazon. One reviewer described, "The sound is incredible and they can’t be beat for the price." They're waterproof with an IPX8 rating, making them safe to use in the rain or while working out. The headphones can last 6 hours on a full charge, plus the included case can charge them an add an extra 24 hours of play time.

When you find yourself at a concert, picnic, or impromptu beach gathering, you'll be happy to have the BEARZ outdoor blanket in your bag or glove compartment.

It even has corner loops and sand pockets so it stays put.

At most, standard planners help you keep track of your meetings and jot down your to-dos, but the Panda Planner does so much more.

"Best thing I have done for myself," one reviewer writes. "I would recommend these to anyone."

Using food-grade activated charcoal and coconut oil instead of bleaching ingredients, Cali White toothpaste absorbs stains, fights bacteria, and freshens breath, all while brightening your teeth.

Last but absolutely not least, reviewers' before and after pictures are extremely impressive — and there are over a hundred of them.

For those who have trouble studying with background noise or sleeping with loud neighbors, the Adaptive Sound Technologies LectroFan has reviewers raving, "This machine is a godsend.

Kick it on the beach, provide some impromptu seating at a concert, or take a breather on top of a mountain.

It even has a built-in head rest and side pockets.

The Travelon Bag Bungee is a relatively simple premise, but reviewers are still asking, "Where have you been my whole life?" It's essentially an adjustable cradle that attaches your briefcase, coat, pocketbook, or carry-on to the handle of your hard suitcase, so you can roll everything at once and still have a free hand. Buyers say it's a "must" if you fly often for work, have children who don't carry their own suitcases, or even regularly commute with a lot of stuff.

These Aurosports high-powered binoculars were originally designed for bird watching due to their compact frame and low-light night vision — but reviewers are using them for safaris, vacations, sporting events, and nosebleed-section concert tickets.

The clarity is incredible and the zoom makes you feel as if you're "standing right beside them."

"Smells great, easy to use. It really works, doesn't smell medicinal at all," reported one fan.

Up until now, drain plugs have remained pretty standard — which is why the TubShroom has nearly 17,000 reviews.

Unlike your average cutlery organizer, the Joseph Joseph utensil tray creates more space in your drawers by overlapping your spoons, knives, and forks. The stacked compartments are only 4.5 inches wide to suit extra-skinny drawers or kitchens that need to make the most out of their storage space. "I have a tiny kitchen with only [three] drawers, so space is at a premium," one reviewer says. "My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend."

If you need your quality-caffeine fix no matter what (and gas station coffee just won't cut it), the Wacaco Minipresso GR is a worthy investment.

"Miracle in a bottle," one reviewer says. "If I could give this shampoo 10 stars I would."

This sleek, futuristic-looking tool is called the Secura electric wine opener, and its rechargeable motor removes the cork at the press of a button.

"Not only does this opener look beautiful, but it’s simple and practical to use ... I ordered several more to give as gifts this Christmas."

Blenders are praised for their ability to create quick, easy meals — but all the washing and disassembling usually negates that.

Just pour boiling water into the bag, add the included sweetened condensed milk packet, and mix with the bamboo stirrer. "This product is a work of genius," one reviewer writes. "This is way beyond anything I've experienced with pre-ground coffee before. More like the flavor I associate with local independent coffee shops."

Despite the fact that it doesn't use any batteries, automatic parts, or motors, the TheraFlow foot roller is "the best $8 [reviewers] have ever spent." This portable wooden massager has textured, individually-rolling beads that stimulate pressure points, stretch out tight muscles, and work out sore spots on both feet simultaneously. Even those with plantar fasciitis, scar tissue, and arch issues have found relief.
