1. Why do spots always form on the most visible part of your face while you're about to do a presentation or go in for your once-weekly office trip? we'll never know, but if it's any consolation this fast-acting, sub-£2 SOS witch hazel stick might just help to nip them in the bud.
2. Sick of spending ages removing your makeup at the end of a work day? Same. These handy cloths will get rid of your cosmetics in one swipe (including waterproof mascara)!
3. If you're sick of coming home to find out your charger has been left on all day for no reason, these timer sockets can help to lower your electricity bill and your guilt.
4. These lil' cheat sheet magnets tell you how long common ingredients will take to cook in your Instant Pot.
5. Do you have time to rummage around in your makeup bag for that one eyeliner you always use? Because if the answer is no (it's probably no), this drawstring bag could help.
6. I'm not sure why, but every single person whose life I envy seems to own Ottolenghi's Simple. At this point, it can't be a coincidence, right?
7. Surely, surely, surely I have experienced too much hardship this week to have to deal with a soggy, wilted paper straw at the end of it too. These glass alternatives are here to help!
8. Maybe it's the broken nails, maybe it's the desperate rummaging for a clean kitchen knife, or maybe it's the fruitless, last-ditch attempt to pull packaging tape apart with my bare hands – somehow, opening parcels always takes way more out of me than it reasonably should. Thankfully, this mini package opener is here to help!
9. Seeing this stain-removing bar of soap from Vanish made me regret all the times I double-washed an item of clothing in an attempt to get rid of a mark.
10. Hot take (literally) – oven gloves are way better than tea towels for handling hot trays. These silicone ones are particularly highly-rated!
11. I Want To Die But I Want To Eat Tteokbokki is a runaway bestseller in Korea for a reason – I tore through the whole thing in a day, so it's perfect if you've been trying to read at night instead of binge-watching TikToks 'til 3AM (guilty).
12. If the thought of whipping up a speedy, confoundingly delicious meal within about half an hour of getting home gets you excited, 1) we have something in common, and 2) it might be time for you to finally try an air fryer.
13. I've found a £9 holy grail formula in The Ordinary's second skin-like serum foundation – its watery consistency is very forgiving, so I don't have to worry about The Line forming on those days I have to apply my base on the tube.
14. If it's time to finally face that big stack of paperwork, at least this expanding file might make it easier. That's what I'm telling myself, anyway.
15. This set of four ultra-fluffy pillows is perfect for fellow side sleepers.
16. Having tried this heated air rack myself, I'm honestly not sure how I lived (or got ready for work) without one.
17. When my coworker Jess saw the price tag on these super soft, WFH-friendly joggers, let me tell you that she ran to the checkout.
18. She also opted for this sweatshirt, which she sized up for a more slouchy fit.
19. If you're sick of wasting what feels like kilometers of paper whenever you clean the kitchen, it might be time to try these 100% recycled kitchen rolls.
20. I'll admit that I was a robovac skeptic until I tried this Yeedi 2 mop and vaccum one, but now I can't imagine my life without it. I can choose to only clean the rooms my flatmates are happy to leave open, I can set a regular cleaning time, and I can help it to map out our home and floor plan too. The future is here.
21. Give yourself something to look forward to at the end of the work day with this electric blanket.
22. The soothing massage this Denman shampoo brush gives me is honestly the only thing that can motivate me to wash my hair after a long day.
23. You won't have to face condensation in your car's windshield first thing in the morning after nabbing this dehumidifier bag.
24. It can be hard to air-dry clothes in the UK (especially in the winter), and tumble dryers often create those annoying bobbles on your clothes. This easy-to-use fabric comb provides a simple solution!
25. Can't remember to stay hydrated now it's cold and wet all the time? This Wallace and Gromit-themed water bottle is nostalgic AND practical.
26. This incredible umbrella has a reflective strip at its base to keep you visible when you're walking in the dark. Plus, it's designed to keep your car seat and floor dry after you fold it up!
27. This water-repelling solution will help to keep your windshield clear while you're driving in the rain!
28. You can present your travel card without having to fumble for your wallet at the turnstile (an absolute crime, TBH) thanks to this handy wallet.
29. Limescale can build up in the drum of your washing machine, leaving behind a chalky residue and (sometimes) a foul smell. So it's a good thing this specially-designed cleaner from Dettol cleans and deodorises!
30. This tuna can strainer will help to give you properly-drained tins without covering your hands in that smelly brine (because why add *more* stressors to your week?).
31. This hydrating facial spray from Mario Badescu doesn't call for any cotton rounds, which makes it so much easier (and faster) to apply than other skincare.
32. I was not prepared for how much of my adulthood I'd spend cleaning my shower unit. This Method spray smells of ylang-ylang, and it's wipe and scrub-free too – just leave it on your wet surfaces and go about your day!
33. Make sure your hump day freezer meals aren't locked behind a barrier of ice when you need them most by nabbing these frost-preventing liners.
34. Come home to a warm, already-cooked meal with the help of the iconic Instant Pot.
