    34 Products You Won’t Realize You Need Until *After* You See Them

    I.e., a ceramic strawberry that won't mold like the ones in your fridge.

    1. A disco ball planter so your house can feel like a club that young John Travolta would be caught dancing in. TIOLI: Hang this by a window to catch and refract the light.

    2. 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.

    3. Dishwasher-safe silicone cookie stamps perfect for your next Harry Potter movie marathon. All you have to do is lay out some pre-made cookie dough, give it a couple of stamps, pour yourselves a glass of wine while said dough bakes, and voila! It now looks like you catered.

    4. An Al Dente kitchen gadget programmed to ~sing~ tunes at three, seven, nine, and eleven minutes, all to signify when your pasta is ready. For example! Angel Hair will be ready after three minutes... and you'll know because the below will start whistling "That's Amore".

    Promising review: "Fun little kitchen gadget — it really works. Bought this as a gift last January and ending up keeping it with the plan of buying several more to give as Christmas gifts this year." —KW

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

    5. A wireless library light to highlight your favorite piece of art. If the "never put on the overhead light" TikTok sound speaks to you personally, this is the dim ambience you're craving. 

    This uses three AAA batteries and includes a remote that lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. You can purchase it in gold, black, or silver. 

    Promising review: "For the price you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

    Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in three colors).

    6. An I Dew Care Cake My Day mask that smells (and looks) as delicious as a Funfetti slice. Sending me birthday cake skincare with moisturizing hyaluronic acid and squalane > an actual birthday cake, and I mean that with every ounce of my being.

    7. A faux leather tissue box cover because allergy season is knocking at your door and what better way to romanticize the sniffles than by pulling a Kleenex out from the below?

    8. A three-pack of color drip candles to turn the act of a birthday wish come true into a work of Picasso proportions. Reviewers swear that all you'll need is an empty wine glass (or old candelabra) to begin your foray into art.

    9. A pack of press-on nails that feature easy application and a delicious design. I feel like I've been transported back to elementary school days where strawberry shortcake ice pops were considered a daily lunchtime snack.

    10. A dustpan and brush set that more closely resembles a work of art then, well, a dustpan and brush set. Hurrah for tidying supplies that don't compromise aesthetics.

    Amazon

    11. A ceramic spoon holder for adding a splash of cottage-core to your kitchen, even if you live smack-dab in the middle of a city and several thousand miles away from the idyllic countryside.

    12. A ceramic vase that, unlike the produce that's been sitting in your fridge for *wrinkles nose in disgust* weeks, doesn't need to be refrigerated. Popping a fresh bouquet into this strawberry ceramic? Bliss.

    13. Vintage picture cards if TikTok has fueled your obsession with bullet journaling and/or scrapbooking. This under-$10 pack includes 45 retro ~paper dolls~ to zhuzh up any blank page.

    the stickers

    14. A marble rolling pin for an ultra sleek upgrade to the ol' rusty one that's been hanging on for dear life on your counter. This one's even got a wooden crate to keep it in place.

    15. A faux croc leather purse if you'd like to house your cell, wallet, and lip balm in an accessory best described as art. Consider my career trajectory shifted: When I grow up, I'd like to be as chic as this bag.

    16. An inflatable fort intended for children but guess what, I am a child. This inflates in 30 seconds, is easy to store when not in use, the construction is durable, and coupled with a laptop and Nancy Meyers movie? A perfect Friday night.

    17. A set of four sophisticated wineglasses to make your less-than-$10 wine taste like it was sourced from Napa and aged for 10 centuries. "I'm getting some dry notes of expensive," you'll say.

    18. A ceramic mug and coaster combo ideal for starting off your morning the right away — relaxing with a good book in hand, and letting your mind wander into the clouds.

    19. A veggie chopper that's amassed nearly 50k positive reviews, many of which refer to this gadget as "life-changing." Omelettes with veggies? Pasta recipes that require "finely sliced" onion? Several tears will be spared; not just because of the onion things but because this will quite literally save you so. much. time.

    20. A ceramic vase set that look like they were plucked from the gallery of a ritzy art exhibit. Place these on any Ikea nightstand for an immediate splash of "I'm an interior decorator" aesthetic.

    the gold vases

    21. A tub of The Pink Stuff, an all-purpose paste capable of tackling your most pesky cleaning problems. Caked-on grease stuck to kitchen cabinets and red vino stains on white carpeting will all but vanish, with no elbow grease required (an ideal cleaning situation).

    Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life-changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    22. An electric S'mores maker to bring the great outdoors into the comfort of your own home. This unit comes equipped with two stainless-steel roasting forks and will produce a perfectly toasted marshmallow every single time.

    23. A switch plate cover that transforms living room decor from drab to fab in minutes, plus it's renter-friendly and easy to remove. It's giving "mansion from The Chronicles of Narnia" vibes and I won't be explaining further.

    24. A daisy egg yolk separator so you can no longer wing it post-crack — because raise your hand if you've ever bitten into a homemade macaron to realize the additional crunch was...an eggshell that made its way into the batter. Just get this.

    25. A portable vacuum that plugs right into your car port! Cue the orchestra music folks, because it's time: Bid a permanent adieu to the mountain of crumbs, dust, and more crumbs that have taken residence in your passenger seat.

    26. 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.

    27. A turtleneck sweater you'll want to look at the Amazon listing for, even if you don't have a four-legged best friend — the review images are so precious my heart is in legitimate pain. I think I might cry.

    28. A portable ambient lamp inspired by the crème de la crème of food groups, the only thing I want to eat at 11 pm after a dinner full of fancy foods with my friends: toast.

    29. A pack of lobe support patches so you can wear heavy hoops or larger studs with no discomfort. This also prevents that annoying ~droopy lobe~ look you've come to associate with heavy statement jewelry.

    30. A round ice cube tray for ritzy cocktails and coffee alike. This set comes with two 30-cube trays, a bucket, and a scoop, ideal for fridges that don't have built-in makers and for folks who always seem to run out of ice at the worst of times.

    31. A snail dispenser that transforms the mundane task of washing your hands or doing the dishes into a fun ritual. This little dude stores and dispenses liquid soap (simply press the top of the shell) and is easy to refill.

    32. A copy of The Antiquarian Sticker Book rightfully described by one reviewer as "mysterious and spooky." This features 1,000+ Victorian-inspired stickers that will make you feel as if you're flipping through a creepy carnival book — but like, in the best way possible.

    33. A TubShroom drain protector invented by a wizard to catch all the hair in your shower (the kind that inevitably leads to clogs). Just think of this magic weapon as your new bathroom bodyguard *and* an easy way to avoid emergency phone calls to your plumber.

    34. A set of LED Under-cabinet lights to make any teeny kitchen feel more spacious, more inviting, and less like a dungeon made worse by bad fluorescence. You can even keep these on overnight to reduce the chance of ghost encounters on your way to grab a glass of water.
