    28 Tech Products And Accessories You Probably Didn't Know You Needed In Your Life

    A water bottle that tells you exactly how much you're drinking, an automatic pot-stirrer, a reusable notebook, and more ingenious items to make life a bit easier.

    1. A spinning makeup brush cleaner to clean (and dry) your brushes in seconds and get all the leftover makeup, dirt, debris, and whatever else gets caught in them (and then potentially your face, gross!) out without much effort on your part.

    2. An OXO double-ended laptop cleaning brush with a microfiber pad on one side to clean the dirty screen you've been staring at all day. Plus, it has a retractable brush on the other side to get in the keys to remove the dust and crumbs from your 3 p.m. snack that somehow found its way into your keyboard. Your computer will basically feel brand-new after this deep clean.

    3. An alarm clock built specifically with a projection feature, so when you roll over in the middle of the night, you can glance up and see how much time you have left to sleep without having to fully wake up and look at your phone.

    4. A digital tape measure to help you measure exactly so you're not guessing and hoping for the best when you buy furniture that you *think* will fit in your home.

    6. A Rocketbook smart reusable notebook that takes your hand-written notes and makes them digital so you will never have to use a notebook again *and* you can easily find the notes you totally remember writing down on the 17th...or was it the 18th?

    16. A pair of Beats Powerbeats headphones to tune out any noise around you (whether you're at home or outside) so you can focus on crushing those weighted squats and not the barking dog.

    17. A rechargeable lighter so you can light candles in seconds with a simple switch. Then when it runs out, you simply have to charge it instead of going out to buy a new one.

    18. A wall charger with six outlets *and* two USB fast-charging ports to keep all your devices and accessories at 100% and not get all tangled in a mess of surge protectors on your floor.

    24. A sunrise alarm clock with a warm LED light that gradually brightens 30 minutes before your alarm to help you wake up and get out of bed on time without a startling jump from a loud alarm noise.
