These 15 clever 'As Seen on TV' products from Walmart make great holiday gifts

The name says it all. The Huggle is a hoodie and a blanket in one, which makes for optimal coziness on cold days and nights. Chilly tootsies? No longer, thanks to the extra-cozy fleece with a sherpa lining.

"Feels like you are wrapped in kittens!" exclaimed a comfy customer. "They are so soft and cozy. My daughter doesn't want to take hers off even when she gets too warm because she says it feels so good. My 17-year-old son practically lives in his. Warning ... if you plan on using this as loungewear, don't plan on getting anything done. You will be in 'lazy mode' until you force yourself to take it off."

Not only is this a great gift for folks who are always cold, but it's a nice pick for people who have to spend time outdoors in frigid conditions. Dads who have to shovel the driveway? Teachers on recess duty? This lightweight heater can be worn around the neck to deliver warmth on demand. Genius, right? It's cordless and rechargeable, and each charge gives it six hours of power.

"This is really good!" one happy customer raved. "I can't believe how warm it gets. It is perfect for outdoor activities like football games. I also like how comfortable it is, plus I can plug in my phone to the USB port for charging."

Anyone with kids will appreciate this rechargeable handheld vacuum. It's just right for grabbing cookie crumbs and errant fries from the car's floor and in between the seats. Despite the fact that it weighs just over a pound, this easy-to-use gadget packs a lot of power. 

Shoppers give it 4.8 out of 5 stars. "The vacuum is very lightweight, but does the job," one said. "It is easy to handle and store."

At first glance, these may look like just another pair of soft, cozy faux fur slippers, but they're so much more. The soles are made from thick memory foam that hugs the foot with each step, plus the slippers feature clever toe dividers to help relieve pressure and encourage proper alignment. We all know someone who's constantly complaining of foot pain, right?

For anyone with weakness or pain in their hands, twisting stubborn lids can be quite the challenge. So why not let a robot do the hard work? This electric jar opener is a nifty little gizmo that clips onto practically any lid and pries it off with the push of a button. How's that for efficiency? Let's do the twist! 

This reviewer agreed: "Easy to use to open difficult jars." 

The tagline here is "No more clogs," but it could be "No more tears" as friends and family with shedding strands never again deal with blocked pipes. They can also say goodbye to caustic chemicals that never actually fix the problem. With TubShroom, each strand wraps around the ingenious cylinder instead of going down the drain. 

"It really works!" raved a fan. "When I ordered the TubShroom, I was skeptical. ... but surprise, surprise. I absolutely love it. I don't worry about clogging my tub anymore. It fits the drain perfectly and traps all the hair I lose whenever I wash my hair. I'm going to buy a few more to give as gifts to family members."

With this gizmo, there's no more tears chopping onions — or tending to cuts after a knife goes awry. Three stainless-steel blades make four chopping styles possible: thick, thin, cube and stick. It's also easy to store and dishwasher-safe. Ideal for holiday meals!

One chopper wrote, "I have arthritis and this works wonderfully for me." Another reported, "I needed a better and safer way to cut vegetables, and this is great. I would buy this again."

When regular flossing won't do, it's time to bring in the muscle. This gizmo gets rid of residue between the teeth and gum line — a breeding ground for plaque and tartar (and the reason you keep rescheduling your cleaning). 

A happy reviewer wrote, "My youngest granddaughter just had braces put on and was struggling with food stuck and flossing with dental floss ... this device has taken care of these problems and has made her very happy, which makes me happy!"

If you've had an episode of Top Chef interrupted by a commercial with someone squealing, "I thought you had to be a professional chef to cut like this," this knife set might look familiar. Perfect for anyone in your life who loves slicing and dicing in the kitchen, Nutriblades slice beautifully, plus they're easy to hold and clean.

"Great knife set," shared a fan. "These knives are very sharp. They make a perfect cut on meat, and vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini, squash, etc. I'm very happy with my purchase. The knives are beautiful and well-made."

Some of us are not blessed with height. Some of us have aches and pains that prevent us from stretching. The Gopher is a hero to all. It can extend your reach by nearly 3 feet, allowing you to conquer those high shelves and low cabinets. Its rotating head lets you get into hard-to-reach spots, and the included suction cup means you get a better grip. 

This shopper just can't get enough of their Gopher: "My buddy, my bestie, my savior! My recovery would've meant even more agony if I didn't have my grabber because I drop everything. I traveled out-of-state for surgery, so it folded in my suitcase with little to no space taken up." 

This clever cushion lets the tablet addict in your life use their device while sitting or lying down. Three adjustable angles mean there's no more wrestling with the tablet, and it even comes with a built-in side pocket for storing a phone or accessories like AirPods, glasses or chargers. Its built-in ledge means it can be used to prop up a device or a book too. The ultra-soft cover is removable and machine-washable. Comes in four colors. 

"I was a little skeptical at first," admitted one shopper. "But I love this cushioned tablet holder because I can use it while sitting on the couch or lying in bed (the actual reason I bought it). It is lightweight but very stable, and flipping it for different positions is so easy. I use it for my tablet and phone. I will buy one for my daughter."

Sure, the average umbrella keeps you dry, but we all know how it drips all over the house as soon as you walk in the door. The Better Brella closes upward, trapping all the wet folds of cloth and preventing them from leaking all over the floor. This inverted umbrella is also windproof up to 50 mph. 

One reviewer purchased one after seeing this product advertised on TV: "I ordered this after seeing the infomercial because it just made sense. The Better Brella is exactly that — better! I don't get wet getting out of my car, my papers don't get wet when I get in my car, and there are no drips on the floor or carpet when I enter a building. Brilliant product — several friends have purchased one since I received mine."

Shopping for a pet parent? This little gadget employs sonic technology to lift dog and cat hair off of furniture, carpets, drapes, bedding, clothing and more. Drag it along the surface of your couch and the sonic vibrations loosen trapped hair as the microfiber bristles cling to it and lift it up and away. The device is reusable, much like a handheld vacuum, and has a built-in LED light to illuminate where hair is hiding.

This reviewer said it works great for homes with cats: "We have a cat with long hair who constantly sheds and the sonic pet hair remover really works. Best pet hair remover I've found! A great purchase!"

Another must-have for the pet owners in your life? This clever glove that makes it easy to groom a dog or cat while giving them some attention at the same time. This right-handed glove with five fingers and a silicone palm has textured grips that cling to stray hair and fur and remove it with each stroke. Pets will love the free massage, and owners love that it prevents fur from building up around the home. It's suitable for all breeds of dogs and cats.

Take it from this reviewer: "Our cat hated to be brushed. Got this for her for Christmas and she loves it! It was almost scary how much fur it took off, but no more hairballs. Easy enough to clean, and she can't get enough 'petting' from it! Would recommend."

New homeowners are sure to love — and use! — these protective felt feet for furniture that keep hardwood and tile flooring looking sharp. The flexible Ruby Sliders slip onto most legs and stay firmly in place. At the bottom of each is a felt disk that won't scratch your flooring even as heavy furniture shifts. The secret to this design is the silicone material, which keeps a tight seal around the furniture legs. Unlike other felt feet, these cups also protect the lower part of each leg from wayward vacuums, feet and the like.

This reviewer plans to purchase more: "Love these sliders! My chairs screech horribly when chairs are moved. I heard about these and decided to try them out. I got just one package to try. I'll be getting two more packages for the other four chairs. I have large round bottoms on my chairs. I found that turning them inside out and stretching and 'unrolling' the sides was easiest."
