Saving money can be difficult. With so many online stores available at your fingertips, staying home is no longer an effective way to curb excessive spending. So instead of letting my inner impulse shopper roam free, I’ve decided to limit my purchases to all the clever products you can find on Amazon.
While the restraint has certainly helped my bank account grow back into the black, it’s also opened my eyes to all the genius inventions that Amazon has to offer. If your keyboard is littered with crumbs and dust, don’t try scraping away at it with a knife. Instead, use the cleaning gel I’ve added to this list — you can mush it into tight spots to help get rid of dirt and grime. Or maybe you like to go hiking with your dog? In that case, I’ve made sure to include a convenient water bottle that’s designed for your pup. Not only is it leakproof, but it also features a built-in bowl that makes it easy for your pooch to lap up water.
But that’s not all — there are also portable door locks, foot cleansing pads, and even a handy board that makes it easy to fold your shirts uniformly. So what are you waiting for? Most of these products are straight-up genius, and all of them are certainly fascinating.
Simply keep them on your feet for about an hour, and these foot peel masks will deeply exfoliate rough skin — no effort required on your part. To keep things interesting, you’ll have to wait about six days for results, at which point dead skin will start sloughing off in small sheets (very satisfying). Each pack comes with two pairs of exfoliating booties.
Be prepared in practically any situation by keeping this convenient multitool on your keychain.

This LED flashlight is a must-have for DIY projects around the house. The light beam has a range of up to 50 feet, and the flexible legs can be bent into various positions, or even wrapped around handlebars. It's able to run for up to 22 hours, plus each order comes with batteries.

It makes it fun for him, and his folded clothes look so much nicer."
Want smoother application for your makeup? These dermaplaning tools create an even canvas for foundation by removing fine peach fuzz and stray hairs.
