1. High-waisted leggings that come in so many colors you should honestly just factor one pair a month into your budget until you collect 'em like some sort of a bootylicious Pokemon trainer. Considering the 37,000+ 5-star reviews these leggings have earned thus far, you certainly won't be alone in your obsession.
2. A roll of ~bamboo~ paper towels – they're super absorbent, incredibly durable, *and* remarkably versatile. You can obviously use them to clean up messes (they're even strong enough to attach to Swiffers!), but they're also soft enough to use on your own skin. And they can be put in the washing machine and reused up to *120* times. Talk about bang for your buck!
3. A bottle of sulfate-free Biotin shampoo infused with tea tree, jojoba, and argan oils to help treat hair loss. This is a potential option for folks whose hair is thinning a bit sooner than expected, or people simply looking to go a few extra rounds with Father Time.
4. A bottle of melatonin sleep gummies for people living with insomnia *OR* an intense late-night Instagram scrolling problem. Just take two gummies 30 minutes before your bedtime and you'll knock right out no matter what — even if you just saw Drake or Rihanna slide into your DMs to let you know how hot you looked in your last brunch pic.
5. A Schick Silk Touch-Up Tool you can use to remove peach fuzz and shape your eyebrows. It also works to exfoliate dead skin, and people with beards can even use it to trim the hair near their edges with as much precision as possible.
6. A tiny, two-stage knife sharpener to repair and restore your knives just as quickly an easily as it appears in this GIF. Anyone who walks in the kitchen and sees your sharpening your steel as you prepare to go to war with a batch of potatoes will know you mean business.
7. A conditioning castor oil packed with vitamins and fatty acids that'll heal and strengthen your hair over time. It can also help soothe your scalp if it's extra dry. Reviewers say you'll start seeing improvements within a few weeks!
8. A CeraVe moisturizing cream for folks with sensitive skin and even more sensitive budgets. Both reviewers on Amazon and contributors here at BuzzFeed love how gentle this moisturizer feels compared to more expensive products. It's also a great place to start if you're new to skincare and want to experiment with a super accessible brand, especially if you struggle with particularly dry skin.
9. A tube of Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Protein treatment for anyone with hair that's become damaged due to excessive straightening and dyeing.
10. A teeth-whitening pen – it's easier to use than whitening strips, and far cheaper than a trip to the dentist (although you should definitely go if it's been a while).
11. Essence's Lash Princess mascara to make you look super attentive (and glamorous) during those back-to-back Zoom meetings — even if you're actually bored out of your mind.
12. Computer eye relief drops for people who habitually stare at screens all day. These drops will help relieve dryness, blurred vision, and light sensitivity caused by your phone or computer. And they're homeopathic, meaning they contain natural active ingredients instead of harsh ones.
13. A foaming lavender bath to add some spa vibes to your time in the tub.
14. Or this shea butter foaming bath bomb if you'd like to support a vegan, cruelty-free, and Latinx woman-owned small business.
15. A genius cat toy that'll keep your kitty entertained for so long it'll honestly make you jealous. I wonder what it must be like to not have bills or responsibilities.
16. A pair of quick-dry water shoes reviewers just can't get enough of. These flexible, sock-like shoes are great for protecting your feet from hot sand and sharp rocks while still allowing you to enjoy the pleasures of the water. Some people even wear them while they're chillin' in the backyard or out front washing the car.
17. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets to clean out all the grossness that's accumulated during the time that you've neglected this chore. Reviewers love how well this thing eliminates foul odors and thick layers of grime — which is great, because how do you expect to pull heavenly scented clothes out of a filthy appliance?
18. And a pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to penetrate, dissolve, and remove the residue in the appliance that's even more likely to stink over time than your washing machine. Just pop these in once a month and you'll be good to go.
19. A downright magical foot peel that'll help you shed all the dead skin that's been keeping you out of flip-flops for years.
20. A pet earwax cleaner that'll clean out all the gunk your fur baby has stored their little ears. Hopefully this means they'll hear you better when you tell them to pipe down during your Zoom meeting.
21. A large toy duck – depending on your dog's personality, it'll either be tossed around and beaten like the rag doll that it literally is, or snuggled up with like your pup has been gifted a pet of their own.
22. A sweet tea candle cleverly poured in a mason jar, inspired by the city of Charlestown, South Carolina. If you're familiar with southern traditions, this fruity and floral scent will remind you of long summer days and afternoons spent on the front porch.
23. And a rechargeable electric lighter for people like me who are deathly afraid of burning themselves with regular lighters. Like you can enjoy lighting candles every day like the rest of civilized society.
24. A fun pancake mold so you can do something special for that lovely little person in your life. A plate full of edible dinosaurs and rocket ships is sure to impress your little ones, and it'd certainly be a step up from the misshapen "circular" pancakes you usually serve them.
25. And a pancake mixer bottle that'll allow you to mix, pour, and fry your pancakes as fast as possible. This is perfect for people who live in households with many mouths to feed.
26. Annnddd some locally made syrup to smother those bad boys in once they're fresh off the stove. It's from a woman-owned shop based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and made of all-natural lavender flowers and unrefined raw cane sugar.
27. A variety pack of 40 acne patches made with tea tree and calendula oil that'll basically redefine the way you think of "beauty sleep." Place this on before bed to draw all that pus and oil out of your pimples, and inflammation will go down by morning.
28. A Diamond Dazzle Stik with a twist-to-dispense design that makes cleaning your jewelry so easy you'll do it just for fun.
29. And these silver polish wipes that'll revive even your most beat up bracelets and hoop earrings.
30. A grooming glove – it can be used wet or dry to remove excess hair from your furriest friend *and* give them endless belly rubs at the same time.
31. An Erase-a-Hole putty if you and your roommates have turned your living room walls into Swiss cheese, but would still like a chance at getting all of your security deposit back. You'll definitely keep this stashed away somewhere in every new apartment you move into.
32. A cleanser and polishing powder that'll restore your tarnished cookware, and once again make your most cherished pots and pans presentable enough to post your cooking photos on Instagram.
33. A bottle of Fog Gone for mask-wearers who've been struggling with the small yet ridiculously annoying inconvenience of foggy glasses. Now you can continue to protect yourself (and everyone else around you) without obstructing your vision.
34. An Under Armour sports mask that's frankly the most comfortable thing I've put around my mouth and nose since the pandemic started — which makes a huge difference considering how *uncomfortable* exercising can be on its own. Multiple BuzzFeed editors swear by this thing, and some of us even wear it outside of the gym as our everyday mask!
35. A grout pen to...well...hide dirty grout. Which is a quick and easy project for lazy people who'd rather not spend an entire afternoon actually *removing* dirty grout.
36. A leather conditioner that'll bring your old, worn-out couch back to life and have it looking like it's fresh off the showroom floor.
37. And a wood conditioner to do pretty much the same thing for coffee table. It'll also create a protective layer that helps prevent the wood from drying out or fading.
38. Some homemade cherry pies from a small business that'd give your mother, grandmother, aunties, and whoever else a run for their money.
