1. A plant-based powder that solidifies cooking oil and transforms it into organic waste, aka you can toss it straight in the trash afterwards! It also gets rid of that iconic cooking oil stench *and* prevents clogged drains.
2. A sleek bed skirt because I know that I technically shouldn't be using my under-bed for additional storage (bad design vibes) but... I do. I really, really do. And this keeps me from seeing my luggage, winter clothes, and shoeboxes jutting out from underneath my queen.
3. An ingenious scrap collector with a wire rim that easily attaches to the edge of your counter top. Consider post-cooking clean-up a true breeze by simply scraping those potato peels and random morsels of rice right into this silicone bin.
4. A dog paw cleaning device for when your good boi has decided to wander into the muddiest field on planet Earth before trotting all over your freshly washed living room floors. Just add a little water, put each paw inside to be scrubbed by the silicone bristles, and that's it! Clean paws within seconds.
5. A lint roller for a grossly satisfying gadget that's capable of picking up every speck of gunk plastered onto your furniture. Bliss = being able to remove the pet fur plastered on your couch within seconds, and no longer having to worry that your black leggings will look like they're covered in white dust.
6. A set of cable clip organizers if the phrases "absolute disaster" and "a mess of tangles" describes your work desk situation currently. These little doodads feature an adhesive back to keep everything in place, so simply fasten in your chargers and rest assured that they will stay put.
7. A pair of nonslip cushions you can add to the front of your highest, most torturous heels and rest assured that they'll prevent the ball of your foot from aching mid-way through an eventual night out.
8. A toothpaste holder complete with a toothpaste squeezer to make sure you get every last minty drop trapped in that damn tube. (One reviewer even describes this as ingenious and TBH, they are not wrong.)
9. A set of Drop Stop car gap fillers (as seen on Shark Tank!) with all of your late-night McDonald's runs in mind. French fries falling into the abyss that is the cracks in your seat? No longer a problem with this genius neoprene invention.
10. A six-outlet wall charger with two USB fast-charging ports *and* a night-light, because your entire apartment has a single accessible outlet, and considering all the devices that need to be charged... that simply won't suffice. Luxury is being able to juice up my phone, laptop, and earbuds at the same damn time.
11. A set of oven liners to save you the heartache (yes, heartache) of burnt roast chicken bits — the kind that will require a minimum of seven scouring pads and so. much. backache. Consider that time-consuming cleaning step all but gone.
12. A set of silicone ear grips for your favorite pair of prescription frames. These anti-slip holders basically ensure that your glasses stay put, meaning constant re-adjusting and slipping down your nose? A thing of the past! Plus, these won't dig into your skin and give you a headache.
13. An armless swivel chair wide enough so that you can sit cross-legged, all while plush cushioning means you can sit comfortably for hours. Plus, an office chair that isn't an eyesore? Sign me up.
14. A set of bra extenders that add 2 inches of length to any band, making this the perfect accessory for anyone who's looking for a little extra breathing room *or* found a great bra in the clearance bin that's just a bit too tight.
15. An air pressure wine bottle opener because I am an adult, I have consumed many a $7 red, and yet — there is nothing that makes my palms sweat faster than a manual corkscrew opener. The cork breaks in half about two-thirds of the time and I just no longer have that level of patience. Give them the gift of stress-free Pinot. They'll truly thank you for it.
16. A soundproofing strip because that upstairs neighbor is practicing tap dance routines, your roommate has been blasting the same '90s Spotify playlist since 7 a.m., and I can really go on but don't want to. Buy the damn soundproofing strip. You're welcome.
17. A shower curtain liner with mesh pockets for anyone done with cluttering the corners of their (very tiny) bathtub via an excess of shampoo bottles. You like one for volume and you like the other for strength; I get it. This makes it easy to store a ton of stuff without making your tub feel cluttered.
18. An adjustable ~car garbage can~ to toss the food wrappers, receipts, and heaven-knows-what-else that accumulates in your vehicle. Picture it now: a world in which your passenger seat isn't cluttered with coffee to-go cups.
19. A Bissell carpet and upholstery cleaner, capable of lifting stubborn decades-old stains in minutes. The compact design means it's easy to lug around (and store), plus the attached tank is clear — that way you'll be able to watch with satisfaction as the water becomes increasingly dilluted with every pass of a couch cushion.
20. A colander strainer with a scoop design that allows it to nestle into your pot... and then stay put. No more oil splatters on your countertops from unruly cooking utensils.
21. An over-the-drain protector for anyone with a pop-up drain that is a: the bane of their existence and b: constantly getting clogged. Place this on top of your drain to trap gunk *before* it becomes a built-up abyss of gross scum that will take ages of time (and a professional plumber) to clear out.
22. A heat-resistant utensil to break up ground beef, stir sauces, scrape the sides of bowls while mixing, and mash potatoes (READ: not the dance) with ease.
23. A hard water stain-remover because I'm ready to say so long and farewell to the days of staring at my gross shower head that still looks awful despite hours (upon hours) of scrubbing. This quick-working formula is great for toilets, tiles, shower doors, and really anything else that's been affected by hard water!
24. A tiered metal hanger designed for pesky articles of clothing that are annoying to fold, take up a ton of space, and are constantly being worn anyway, i.e. sports bras and tank tops.
25. A double-sided electronics brush because that Dorito crumb has been lodged under the space key for *scratches head* quite a long time. This will keep your pricy laptop squeaky clean and prevent costly fixes in the future.
26. A condiment fork slim enough to reach down into the corners of that obnoxiously deep pickle jar, meaning no more jabbing your fork blindly just to come up empty-handed. This even comes with an attached band to keep the fork in place whilst not in use.
27. A strand of LED Under-cabinet lights to make any teeny kitchen feel more spacious, more inviting, and less like a dungeon made worse by bad fluorescent lights. You can even keep these on over night, to reduce the chance of ghost encounters on your way to grab a glass of water. 👻
28. A watering funnel that gives you no choice but to water your plants. The amount of water that has pooled on your floor rather than into the roots of that monstera... ridiculous, quite frankly! This is effective, takes up no extra space, doesn't look like an eyesore, and gets a task (one that you constantly put off) out of the way.
29. A multi-purpose basket that expands to fit your sink *and* collapses so it can be shoved right back into a tiny kitchen cabinet. Cleverly designed with draining holes, this tool is perfect for straining pasta, washing fruits and veggies, or even drying some dishes. You know the metal colander you have now? The one that takes up more space than its worth? Ahem. We think it's on its way out.
