1. A bottle of miracle liquid cleanser that can be used on copper, tile, ceramic, porcelain, and stainless steel. It'll help you clean your entire apartment without a thousand different sprays and gels, and probably save you some money, too.
2. A magical toilet stamp that cleans away stains and rings with every flush. It's also scented, so your bathroom will always smell fresh, no matter what goes on in there.
3. A set of collapsible laundry hampers that'll encourage you to separate your darks and your lights, so your clean clothes never come out the wrong colour. They have soft cloth handles on all sides, making them easy to carry to your laundry room.
4. A magnetic 2-in-1 meal planner pad and grocery list that'll make sorting out what to buy and cook an actual breeze, so you don't end up giving up and ordering takeout (again). It's got a perforated line down the centre, which makes it easy to tear off your grocery list to take with you.
5. A pack of dry cleaner sheets that are safe to use on special care clothing and will probably save you hundreds of dollars in the long run. They remove odours and stains, and releases wrinkles, leaving your clothes looking good as new.

13. A set of good quality kitchen knives, because you won't become the pro chef you were destined to be with dull tools. They're ultra-sharp, but you may want to invest in a sharpener to keep them in tip-top shape (your parents would be proud you owned one of those, too).
14. A 2-in-1 toilet plunger and squeegee that pushes out clogs in one swift movement and cleans your toilet bowl, too. Reviewers say it's way more effective than a classic suction plunger and works on bowls of all shapes and sizes.
