    38 Practical Things Your Home May Be Sorely Missing

    Your home texted me and told me to ask you for these things.

    1. A silicone "Broombi" that's an all-surface broom, squeegee, and pet hair remover to efficientally tackle all your worst floor messes.

    Promising review: "Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilt messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable, stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" —Sandra Moyer

    Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors). 

    2. Fresh Patch grass pee pad that'll give your pup a place to pee, even if it's raining out. This is great for training puppies that the best place to go is in the grass and not, in fact, on your brand-new carpet.

    Promising review: "Our dog loves her Fresh Patch. We were not having much luck training her on a puppy pad so we decided to try it out, and it actually worked. It took a few days, but now she goes to her Fresh Patch to potty 9 times out of 10." —Miguel Delgado

    Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in five sizes).

    3. A pair of fan light pull cords so you can finally know which turns on the fan and which turns on the light. What an ~illuminating~ product!

    long chains with charms shaped like lightbulb and fan

    4. A set of inexpensive microfiber sheets that feel just as silky soft as much more expensive brands. So you and your wallet can get a good night's sleep.

    5. A cat-tastic magnet so you and your roommate will actually know if those dishes are clean or dirty. Such a small gadget with huge effects.

    6. A mesmerizing rolling egg dispenser that saves space in your fridge *and* offers the same dopamine hit that a vending machine might offer. Every time you take an egg out, a replacement egg will roll into its place.

    Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." —Karingen

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99

    7. A tea bag organizer to bring order (and space) to your packed cabinets.

    8. A prep-and-pour cutting board for anyone who gets more chopped garlic on the floor than in the pan (me).

    9. A digital alarm clock so beautiful, you may finally use an actual clock over your phone. Best of all, it has three USB ports so you can charge said phone.

    10. A rotating 2-in-1 colander and washing basket with a handle that'll make it easier to drain your pasta and veggies without losing anything to the sink.

    11. A set of thick velvet slipcovers to instantly transform your drab couch into something new and fabulous. Goodbye, stain-covered gray couch and HELLO new couch of my HGTV dreams.

    12. A bidet offering a more luxurious option over that dry, wasteful, less-efficient toilet paper.

    13. A natural sweater pill remover made from upcycled car windshield glass (OK, cool) capable of scraping away annoying pills from sweater, blankets, towels, and any other fabrics that need a refresh.

    14. A pack of shower curtain clips, because the last thing you want to happen after watching Psycho is to have the curtain billow in and attack you.
