1. An ice cube tray complete with a silicone lid to prevent any water from spilling out. PLUS! The lid makes it easy to stack things on top of it.
2. A non-abrasive cleansing and polishing powder — it'll be perfect for porcelain, copper, glass, tile, stainless steel, plastic, and brass.
3. A knife sharpener for knives that have gone dull over time. They can't even slice through a loaf of bread anymore, let alone a darn steak!
4. An odor-resistant, charcoal-infused sheet set that will continue to smell (and feel) fresh between loads of laundry — because let's be honest, who washes their sheets **every** week. Am I right?
5. Stemless wine glasses capable of surviving an American Horror Story-style apocalypse. These BPA-free babies are seriously shatterproof.
6. A non-adhesive shelf and drawer liner that is super easy to install. Just cut the size you need and BAM! You're done. Plus, these are machine-washable.
7. A stainless steel whistling kettle so great, Kermit will refuse to sip tea brewed in anything else. This nifty thing is designed with an easy-pour spout, a stay-cool handle, and a removable lid that makes it SUPER easy to clean.
8. A plant-based, natural stain remover basically inspired by Britney Spears' hit song "Non-Toxic."
9. A stainless steel can opener with ergonomic handles and an easy-to-grip turning knob. In English? This is super easy to use and feels comfy + secure in your hand!

12. A mounting bracket to give your TP a permanent (and pretty darn pretty) home.
13. Clear plastic trays you can use to organize every nook and cranny in your house. Junk drawers? Consider them a thing of the PAST.

15. Gorgeous, stackable storage baskets perfect for storing everything from bath towels and bath bubbles to art supplies and stuffed animals.
16. A 20-piece dinnerware set that is stackable, dishwasher-safe, affordable, and downright gorgeous. Maybe I'm being dramatic here, but I think it's possible I've just met my soulmate...
17. A stainless steel cleaner not intended to clean the man of steel. You still need to shower, buddy.
18. A drying rack that is a must-have for teeny tiny kitchens. This dish drainer can (fruit) roll up when not in use!
19. A dishwasher-safe stainless steel peeler capable of peeling potatoes (for your french fry dinner, of course) with speed and ease.

21. A ceramic cookware set complete with all the tools you need to make any and every delicious dish you have seen prepared on the internet. HELLO, BUZZFEED TASTY VIDEOS!!!

23. A wine stain remover for when your red, red wine doesn't want to stay close to you. Give it some space.
24. An extension cord perfect for any home that has outlets in the most inconvenient of spaces. Raise your hand if you have two (!!!!) outlets behind your bed like I do!
25. A 45-piece flatware set with a sleek, simple design that coordinate well with any color dish. And HECK YEAH, these stainless steel puppies are dishwasher-safe.
26. A stainless steel paper towel holder complete with a weighted non-slip base, meaning it won't move every single time you go to grab sheet.
27. A waterproof tray to prevent muddy footsteps from ever approaching your hardwood floors. Maybe Adora from Sharper Objects should have invested in one of these, eh?
28. An angled measuring cup so you don't have to crouch down (and inevitably spill whatever it is that you're holding) in order to see the ~exact~ ingredient amount you're pouring.
29. A stovetop moka espresso maker that'll deliver you a cup of caffeinated deliciousness in less than five minutes. Heaven is at your fingertips, folks.
