    32 Things You Should Probably Already Own, But Don't

    Including silicone lids if the idea of "matching plastic lids with their appropriate container gives you anxiety" and yes, I did just quote myself.

    1. A durable water bottle that I own and have dubbed my personal "emotional support tumbler." Not sure what to say in that Zoom meeting? Take a sip. Hydration and hiding your awkwardness will have never gone hand-in-hand so fluidly.

    2. Ownest Eyebrow Soap Kit – it adds texture and thickness to unruly facial caterpillars, providing a ~feathery~ look that ensures each individual eyebrow hair stays in place all. day. long.

    3. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad reviewers *swear* picks up even more gunk than the disposable versions do. The best part? Throw 'em in the wash after a deep clean — they'll come out brand new and ready to tackle your abode all over again. Money saved in the long run, baby.

    4. A set of silicone stretch lids because the idea of matching plastic lids with their appropriate container genuinely keeps me up at night. Save yourself the stress and use these to cover bowls, mason jars, etcetera.

    5. A farmhouse-inspired set of refillable dispensers made from durable amber plastic that transform drugstore brands into designer items. "Why yes, I do scrub my scalp with [insert $40+ shampoo]," you'll whisper silently to yourself with every lather.

    6. Twist hoop earrings with an air of "I actually tried this morning" due to their dainty, versatile design. Reach for these every morning with confidence knowing they'll enhance any quick ensemble.

    7. A set of ~car wash wipes~ if dragging your you-know-what to the actual car wash feels like....too much work. The amount of receipts you'll have to throw out to avoid embarrassment! The water bottles! What about all the stuff you have in your trunk! Let's not talk about it anymore, just buy some damn wipes.

    8. A six-port outlet that swivels because the only outlet in your entire bedroom is covered by a heavy dresser. Say so long, farewell to wiggling furniture out in order to make room for bulky plugs: this lets you charge six devices at the same darn time.

    9. A waterfall hanger solution for folks who consider their cramped closet a personality trait. This takes advantage of allll the vertical space left unused in your closet, thus affording you the opportunity to...well...pack in more dresses.

    10. Weather-resistant suede boots with pumpkin spice coursing through their veins. Fall festivities, say hello to the only shoe I'll be wearing whilst picking pumpkins and eating my weight in apple cider donuts. (I realize it's still "summer" but I mean it's almost over, amirite?)

    11. A nontoxic cookware duo considered a ~modern Dutch oven~ thanks to a 7-quart Pot (a wok and stockpot hybrid) that can deep fry *and* fit up to two pounds of pasta, plus a smooth skillet that can hold six salmon fillets. Bid adieu to needing 85 pans for one family dinner.

    12. A tiny milk frother that makes it easy to whip up your very own, typically very expensive drink at home — and quickly. This stainless-steel whisk truly has so many darn uses: Let your mouth water at the thought of cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate, matcha, milk shakes, and more.

    13. A multi-color LED floor lamp for the poor souls (hello to me, myself, and I) who have limited square footage in their apartment. This takes up minimal space, has a weighted base that ensures it stays put, and the lighting is customizable: Choose from ambient to bright via ! 16 million ! different hues.

    14. A chenille tufted pillow ideal for Harry Potter movie nights in which you've invited the whole gang over but, sadly, don't have the room to accommodate all of them. Magic = being able to turn your floor into comfortable seating when there's not enough couch space.

    15. A set of bed bands that work like suspenders to keep your fitted sheet in place...no matter how much tossing and turning you get up to during the night. I sincerely hope that Bella Swan owned these.

    16. A bottle of OUIA leave-in conditioner because detangling should truly be as easy as one, two, spritz. This contains a generous helping of tamarind seed extract, panthenol, vitamin E, and hydrolized proteins to tackle haircare concerns like frizz, flyaways, and heat damage.

    17. A The Office door sign so it can feel as if Dwight Schrute is breathing over your shoulder as you send numerous emails and fill in those Excel sheets.

    18. A lightweight bralette available in 12 neutral hues (you can find your perfect fit via the "find your shade" tool) that offers bot support *and* comfort — because yes, the two can co-exist.

    19. Arch support insoles because the kicks you got on clearance are pleasing to the eye...but torturous to the feet. These hunks of sustainable cork provide shock absorption, relieve pain, and ensure you can walk 500 miles via a maximum stability heel cup.

    20. A spruce steamer that goes hand-in-hand with the beloved Our Place pan: this vacuum seals steam and delivers on its promise of crisp, beautifully cooked stuff every single time. Never again will you have to chomp into a mushy piece of broccoli.

    21. Extra absorbent dual-sided wipes because the place doling out "clean" laundry should...probably be clean itself. These are capable of removing a ton of built-up detergent scum and various gunk, aka you'll be able to keep your expensive washing machine in tip-top shape by regularly giving rubber seals, detergent pockets, and drums a monthly swipe.

    22. A lush double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set I am adding to my cart in the name of back to school shopping. Am I going back to school? No. But we are entering fall, ergo I plan on treating myself to cozy accessories to enhance allll my impending Halloween movie marathons.

    23. A seamless set featuring a ribbed knit material best described as divine. Reviewers swear that the high-waisted leggings are squat-proof but "don't feel suffocating," which I'm pretty sure is allllll the proof we need that sorcery exists.

    24. A leaf-shaped trinket dish for various knick-knacks: coins, earrings, important receipts, keys. Here's hoping you'll be able to leave the house on time due to actually knowing where you left your car keys last night.

    25. A zip-top shoulder bag because the masses rave about the importance of an LBD, but you know what's more important than a dress? An oversized black work tote — and this one is perfection thanks to grained leather, ample pockets, and a spacious design.

    26. A vintage-inspired ottoman that can be used as storage, seating, *and* an adorable coffee table. But functionality aside... it's the Pinterest-worthy aesthetics for me.

    27. A breakfast sandwich maker one reviewer described as the "single best appliance they own." This must-have kitchen gadget fixes breakfast (and lunch and dinner) sandwiches in five minutes or less, creating the BEC of their dreams.

    28. A Filtrete air purifier that removes dander, mold, dust, and pollen which means *takes deep breath* they'll be breathing in sans the air gunk that worsens their seasonal allergies.

    29. A S'well water bottle that is, quite frankly, much prettier than it has any right to be. This baby is triple-layered with a vacuum-insulated design to keep beverages ice cold for 48 hours and piping hot for up to 24.

    30. A Luv Scrub mesh body exfoliator that stretches up to 50 inches, aka back scrubs will no longer require contortionist-worthy flexibility. Skin smoother than any baby's rear end is yours for the taking with this pink shower must-have.

    31. A pack of laundry soap sheets for your next trip because have you packed 13 maxi dresses? Yes. But have you packed an ample amount of basics (white tees, underwear, etcetera)? Absolutely not. Simply grab a sheet, turn on the faucet, and hand-wash away.

    the sheets

    32. A velvet arm sofa that checks off the box of "regal style" and "functional because I don't have a spare bedroom". That's right, folks! This converts into a sleeper so that your guests can snooze comfortably.
