    I’m Sorry, But If You Don't Try These 33 Things From Amazon Canada In 2023, You’re Probably Missing Out

    Washing machine doodads, coffee makers, zipper thermometers, and more.

    1. A super soft balaclava that'll save you from messing around with a ton of winter accessories when you're in a rush. It can be worn solo or over a hat when you need some extra warmth.

    2. A genius door doodad that'll keep your washing machine propped open so air can circulate. It'll save mould and mildew from building up inside your washer's rubber gasket and keep everything smelling fresh.

    3. A roll of painter's tape with a plastic drip sheet attached to it that'll save your hardwood and floorboards from unwanted splotches. Reviewers say it's a must-have for anyone who uses spray paint for DIY projects.

    4. An easy-to-read digital thermometer that'll fit right on your jacket zipper. Reviewers love that they can flip between Celsius and Fahrenheit with the touch of a button and say it's a great doodad for outdoor adventurers.

    5. A mini CrockPot so you can warm up your lunch right at your desk. Say goodbye to using the smelly office microwave (and fighting your co-workers for space in the staff room).

    6. An adjustable posture corrector that'll keep your shoulders in check when you're feeling too lazy to hold 'em up on your own (no shame, it happens). Reviewers say it's helped relieve back pain, too.

    7. A magnetic laundry pad that'll transform the top of your washer or dryer into an ironing board. Reviewers say it's a great space-saving solution if you don't have room in your laundry room for an ironing board.

    8. A trio of hair tie hooks that'll help you undo your ultra-tight French braids when the day is done. Reviewers say they work magic on those tiny plastic elastics and love that they reduce damage and breakage.

    9. A foolproof knife sharpener with three slots that you can use to sharpen your straight and serrated knives, as well as your scissors. It's time to say goodbye to hacking away at your peppers and tomatoes with a dull blade — for good.

    10. A pack of vitamin C-infused sheet masks that'll give your skin a juicy lil' boost and help fade dark spots and discolouration. They're also packed with fruit-based antioxidants that'll fight damage caused by pollution and toxins.

    11. A dimmable wall reading light that'll help you get in some pages before bed without completely annoying your partner. It has a USB port on it, so you can use it to charge your phone, too.

    12. A souped-up Keurig coffee maker for anyone who takes their caffeine routine very seriously. Besides the regular functions, it can make concentrated coffee shots (basically espresso) and even froth milk — your traditional coffee maker could never.

    13. A five-pack of dual-ended scraping tools you can use to scrub away glue, rust, and caked-on dust. They're hard on messes, but won't scratch the surfaces you use them on.

    14. A time-marked water bottle that's reusable and will encourage you to drink more H2O. It comes with a removable filter, meaning you can infuse your water with fruits and veggies and not worry about gulping down any seeds.

    15. An adjustable laptop stand that'll replace that stack of books or boardgames you're currently using. Instead of a base, your device will rest on two arms, saving it from overheating.

    16. A pack of iron-on denim patches that'll save you from prematurely throwing out your fave jeans. They come in four different shades so you won't be stuck fixing up your stuff with a patch that stands out like a sore thumb.

    17. A pixel art frame that'll display your digital masterpieces (you can make 'em with the free companion app). When they're not showing off your latest and greatest artworks, you can use it as a clock, to display the weather and temperature, as a music visualizer, and even as a night light.

    18. A bottle of Moroccanoil dry scalp treatment that'll help control itching and keep your hair follicles happy. Reviewers say it's a must-have for anyone who suffers from dandruff and that it's a real lifesaver during the winter months.

    19. An adjustable draft stopper that'll keep your room at the perfect temperature by keeping air from escaping under your door. It's also awesome for dampening sounds so it'll come in handy if you've got noisy roommates.

    20. A set of silicone coasters that’ll keep the cup holders in your car *actually* clean. They'll keep spills contained and they're easy to pop out and wash, so you can say buh-bye to the ring of sticky residue you can't be bothered to scrub.

    21. A pack of silicone straws if saving the turtles is your top priority. They'll be easier on your teeth than metal alternatives and are way less flimsy than the paper ones you typically get at restaurants.

    22. This super nondescript book safe that looks like a plain old dictionary, but will keep all your secrets safe and hidden. (Secret passageways not included.)

    23. A lil' space heater that's petite enough to fit on your desk or on your bedside table. Reviewers say it can warm up an entire room within minutes and that it works its magic without making too much noise.

    24. A pocket-sized espresso maker that makes brewing a hot, delicious cup of espresso easy, peasy, coffee squeezy. It's designed to be completely portable — and you won't need any electricity or batteries, either.

    25. A set of self-watering plant pots that use a cotton rope uptake system to not only eliminate the need for daily waterings, but will also keep you from drowning your plants.

    26. A pack of shower clips that'll keep the water inside your shower instead of all over your floor. They have adhesive backings so you won't need to make any renovations to install them.

    27. A lettering and calligraphy notebook that'll teach you how to turn your chicken scratch writing into beautiful, loopy letters. Reviewers love that it's packed with mini projects and encouraging messages that hype them up while they're learning.

    28. A pack of rug grippers that are backed with petite suction pores and will keep your carpet from sliding around on your hardwood. They'll also stop the edges from curling up, keeping everything looking sleek.

    29. A pair of dry-erase calendars that'll help you keep track of your day-to-day deadlines. You’ll get two calendars: one for the whole month and one for your week, so you can finally start managing your time better.

    30. A lumbar support cushion that’ll give your spine the TLC it probably needs, without breaking the bank on a fancy office chair. Reviewers say it's a total game changer when it comes to improving their posture and alleviating back pain, making it a heck of a lot more bearable to sit in front of a screen all day.

    31. A pair of motion-sensor night lights that'll save you from walking into your doorway when you get up in the middle of the night to pee. You can adjust the brightness on these babies, so you can avoid blinding yourself every time you walk by them.

    32. A pack of magnetic bookmarks that'll keep your spot so you'll never have to sift through pages to find the line you left off on. Reviewers love that they don't add bulk to their books or slip out like paper ones tend to do.

    33. And finally, a veggie brush that'll help you remove dirt from the deepest nooks and crannies of your produce. Reviewers say the bristles are soft, but tough, so you can scrub your potatoes without demolishing them.
