    31 Things That Might Make You Think "Well, There Goes My Money"

    A powder that solidifies used cooking oil for easy disposal. 'Nuff said.

    1. An essential cropped tank that has most likely been blessed by a fairy godmother, because this takes your basic cami and goes *poof* — an instantly chic upgrade is yours for the taking due to this top's high-neck silhouette.

    2. A beechwood board for making fresh, delicious gnocchi from the comfort of your kitchen. Simply knead dough into the ridges, designed to create the *perfect* shape for holding an optimal amount of sauce — reviewers swear preparation and cook time takes less than an hour from start to finish.

    3. A bath mat moonlighting as a grand Persian-style rug meant for the likes of mahogany-clad libraries and ornate antique galleries. Emerging from a shower and stepping onto this = an affordable luxury.

    4. A scoopneck swimsuit that is here to take your hand and lead you to greener pastures (translation: TikTok fashion-land) in which stylish cutouts are the only things that matter.

    5. A pair of pointed-toe, ankle-strap pumps that you can consider as the first step in building your capsule footwear collection. These beauties are impeccable in their simplicity, are available in several neutral hues, and are comfortable to boot.

    6. 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.

    7. 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.

    8. A pet hair detailer if your four-legged friend manages to wedge their fur into every. Single. Nook. And. Cranny. Of your car.

    9. A Sugarfina chocolate bar that you'll realize is your ~cup of tea~ at first bite. Ready your taste buds for notes of Earl Grey tea, a splash of milk, and white chocolate.

    10. A disco ball because I have not been to a club in ages and have no intention of going to a club ever again, but making my bedroom feel like Studio 54 via sparkly decor?! I'm down.

    11. A floral print romper if you love the look of dresses but are terrified of sudden gusts of wind. This gives you the silhouette of a short mini ~but~ the flowy shorts mean you can cartwheel in public without panic. *Attempts a cartwheel at 30* — *is in pain for a week straight*

    12. 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!

    13. 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 thanks to unruly cooking utensils.

    14. A pack of handmade gemstone earrings for folks who prefer simplicity but want something a bit more elevated than cubic zirconia studs. I feel that.

    the earrings

    15. A bustier crop top designed with boning for support (*cough* no bra required here), adjustable straps, and a whisper of stretch, so that the below feels as if it were tailored to your exact measurements.

    16. A Handmade Heroes vegan lip mask that repairs your pout whilst you snooze, cc: a mango butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, and jojoba oil blend that'll have you humming "Miracles Happen" from that iconic princess movie.

    the lip balms

    17. A sleeveless swing mini for impromptu bottomless brunches with le pals, grocery store runs, fancier dinners (simply add in some heels), etcetera. Versatility is this dress's strongest suit.

    the green dress

    18. A pack of thin no-show socks if you've avoided low-top sneakers for years due to lack of proper hosiery. These are grippy and remain in place, so you can say bye-bye to slippage and pesky peeping not-so-no-show socks.

    19. A 50-pack of The Office stickers that include your favorite characters and quotes from the series you have literally memorized line-for-line. A personal favorite: "The worst thing about prison was the Dementors."

    the stickers

    20. A bag of organic Death Wish coffee if you have a meeting scheduled for 8 a.m., which is sort of a problem due to the fact that you... usually wake up at 8 a.m. If anything can turn you into a morning person, it'll be this — a very, very strong cup of caffeine.

    the coffee

    21. A non-abrasive Bar Keepers Friend cleansing and polishing powder that will destroy years of icky build-up on all of your porcelain, copper, glass, tile, stainless steel, plastic, and brass. Time to grab your cookware set, folks, because the after photos are about to get GOOD.

    22. A two-piece set that you'll dub "vacation brunch attire," aka an outfit you'll want to wear for vacation mimosas. Slipping on this crop top and flowy skirt has a 100% effectiveness rate at getting you no less than one million compliments.

    23. A set of cable clip organizers if the phrases "absolute disaster" and "a mess of tangles" describes your work desk 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.

    the cable clips

    24. A tube of Mighty Patch rescue balm that requires but a dab for post-pimple problems (it reduces flaking, redness, uneven texture, and scarring). But the real winner here? It won't sting or cause irritation, which is truly what separates this from other spot treatments on the market.

    25. A frilly set that's about to become the pride of your intimates drawer. I’m already hearing the dialogue: “Why yes, I’d love to slurp spaghetti with you à la that scene from The Lady and the Tramp.”

    the set

    26. A faux leather tissue box cover because allergy season is fast approaching and what better way to romanticize the sniffles than by pulling a Kleenex out from the below?

    27. A pair of low-top sneakers with elastic bands in lieu of laces. This means that you'll be able to slip your kicks on and off, rather than having to tie and untie every few seconds. AIRPORT SECURITY, WYA?

    28. A John Frieda hot air brush, because an average straightener usually takes ALL the volume out of your roots (cc: pin-straight styles reminiscent of Jersey Shore days). This easy-to-use tool will give you a salon-quality blowout that is shockingly easy to achieve.

    29. A Neutrogena Hydro Boost body cream that reaps a ton of praise from ye old TikTok gods for being both hydrating and fast-absorbing. That's right, folks. No more waiting — *checks watch* — a half hour before slipping on your pajamas and crawling into bed.

    30. A puff sleeve baby doll dress to be worn to the most glamorous event of your week, aka drinking pre-made sangria from pitchers and eating fried chicken and waffles with your pals.

    31. An OxiClean powder for bidding adieu to makeup on white T-shirts, oil stains on your favorite dress, and red wine on your living room accent chair. It's even got the bandwidth to revitalize brickwork, with proof in the incredibly satisfying picture featured below.
