Every now and then, a special product comes along — whether it be a genius home hack or beauty game changer — that changes your routine for the better. The Shop TODAY team has discovered many such gems, and our senior editor Julie Ricevuto stopped by Studio 1A to share a few of the best. From a device that does alterations on the go to an “instant cuticle remover,” read on to shop tried-and-true Amazon favorites, which start at less than $5.

Ricevuto calls this fabric stitch gun “a life-changing find.” Simply thread the needle through the fabric and with a click, you have a stitch. “It allows you to do alterations on the go, and it’s super thin so the stitching is almost invisible,” Ricevuto vouches. “Whether you have a top with a low neckline that needs a little reinforcement, pants that need a hem, or even a seam that needs repairing, this works so much better than a pin or fashion tape.”

The Instant Cuticle Remover by Sally Hansen is so popular right now that over 40,000 of them have been purchased on Amazon in the last month. Per the brand, the formula instantly softens cuticles and gets rid of excess skin, plus it has aloe and chamomile to help calm and soothe the skin. “All you do is apply the formula to your cuticles, wait 15 seconds and then [gently] push them back and remove with a manicure stick or even your fingers,” says Ricevuto.

If you want to ensure all your produce stays fresh for longer after you clean them, Ricevuto recommends these food saver sheets. “According to the brand, the sheets are infused with organic botanicals that naturally extend the life of fresh produce for up to four times longer. Just add the sheets to your fruit bowl, berry container, produce drawer or bags of lettuce and [they'll] help maintain freshness." She also adds that they are reusable for up to a month!

You never think about the gap between your car seat and center console until you drop something down there. This car hack fills that dreaded space where your phone, keys, wallet and other valuables always seem to disappear to at the worst times. “You’re protecting your valuables but most importantly you’re avoiding distracted driving which is the No. 1 cause of car accidents in the U.S,” cautions Ricevuto. “According to the brand, it’s easy to install, fits any car, and moves with the seat.”

People always forget to clean the appliances that actually do the cleaning, especially your dishwasher. Now's the time to show them some TLC, too. Throw these tablets in and run a normal cycle to clean, remove odors and descale your machine, breaking down hard water buildup, grime and stains in the process. According to the brand, the tablets also help prevent clogs and clear out foam in the internal tubes and filter area, so routine use can save you the trouble of calling a plumber down the line.

Clumpy mascara is no match for this eyelash comb. Shop TODAY contributor Dina Ruiz says the tool instantly separates and lifts her lashes, without pulling out a single hair — perfect for priming for mascara! “I was impressed by the result and the lack of tugging needed,” she says, adding that it also does a good job of removing excess product.

These night lights are a must-add to your hallway, bathroom, kitchen and any other spot you find yourself walking to in the middle of the night and don't want to stumble through darkness. Per the brand, they feature motion sensors, so they turn on the moment movement is detected — up to 25 feet away! Plus, they’ll turn off automatically after 90 seconds of no activity, so they're energy efficient.

“My mom introduced me to this product after both her and I experienced some hair thinning,” shares associate editor Madison San Miguel. “It’s a hair powder that conceals any sparse areas and bald spots with a fine colored powder. It is transfer-proof and wind-, rain- and sweat-resistant. I can attest to those claims!”

“I got the chance to try this new launch from PopSocket for a few weeks before it officially came out and immediately was obsessed with it,” raves editor Kamari Stewart-Jackson. “My favorite part is the rotating stand that you can pull out so you can watch anything you like on your phone in any rotation. I wouldn’t leave the house without this on my phone during [sports games] because I knew I could prop my phone up anywhere with ease to watch.”
