    36 Things You Probably Should Have Bought Yesterday

    Better invest in a time machine so you could regain some time with these amazing items.

    1. A backless retro one-piece to turn you into the pin-up model you know you are.

    2. A 21-ounce jug of Greenies treats, because as much as you love your cat, their breath could use some work. 

    Promising review: "My cat came to me with most of her teeth already pulled. I wanted to save the remaining ones so I use a periodontal tooth powder in conjunction with these Greenies. The combo works really well, and she loves the Greenies! These are a winner in our house." —Nenni

    Get it from Amazon for $16.19 (available in four flavors).

    3. A Homer Simpson sponge holder that recreates everyone's favorite reaction gif. It even comes with a little drain to prevent mildew, making it both funny and practical.

    4. sunburn soother crafted with aloe and coconut oil to hydrate skin and turn back time to before you stayed out in the sun a little too long. 

    Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching!

    Promising review: "I ordered this two weeks ago after seeing rave reviews. So grateful I did. Yesterday I got the worst burn. It was unbelievable. I applied this four times over 24 hours. When I woke up this morning it was a lot better and has just gotten increasingly better throughout the day. The burn is mostly faded, and the pain is so much better. I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same." —Carolina G.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.52.

    5. A Marshmallow Whip Maker loved by TikTokers thanks to its ability to turn your hum-drum cleanser into light frothy foam. Foam = easier to apply and less friction bothering your skin.

    6. Sand & Sky's Tasmanian Spring Water Wonder lotion — with the heroically hydrating ingredient hyaluronic acid — that's pretty much luxury skincare for your body. It's ultra-lightweight and luxurious, not unlike the expensive moisturizer you treat your face to.

    7. A pack of Bottle Bright tablets that clean those hard-to-reach places so you don't have to. That moldy Nalgene you forgot to clean for a year can now be saved from the garbage!

    Just drop in a tablet with warm water and wait 15–30 minutes. Wash out and admire your sparkling container!

    Promising review: "I actually found this product on a BuzzFeed article on things that you can’t believe you don’t already own. I figured I’d give it a shot as we have plenty of gross looking travel coffee mugs. I was not disappointed, in fact, I was blown away. I was amazed and even a tad disgusted at how gross they truly were." —Nanners1010

    8. A Cat Dancer toy you can waggle in front of your feline whenever you wanna give them a proper workout.

    9. Bamboo Ave shorts for lightweight breathable comfort all day long — these odor resistant duds can be worn while working out, running errands, or even in the pool.

    10. A satin-lined Hairbrella to keep your hair protected from rain, humidity, and anything else that's out to ruin your perfect hairdo.

    11. A pack of fancy peanut butter cups that critics (me) are calling the Candy of the Year. Good luck not eating the entire bag in one sitting!

    12. Downtown Blend coffee in overwhelmingly adorable packaging for anyone who loves the taste of coffee but wants to take it slow.

    13. A bottle of kimchi mayo sauce to add a little zip to any meal. And by zip? Yeah, I mean absolute heaven for your tastebuds.

    14. A survival bandana printed with a ton of helpful survival information in case you get into trouble on a hike. It's good to wear on your head, use as a sling,  collect water, and more.

    Promising review: "Oversized compared to your typical bandana, which is awesome! Great weight. My family and I have been building our BOBs (bug out bags). I have been wanting to find something like this for a while. It is nice; it has instructions on it. Very versatile. I bought one to test out to see if it was worth getting more. I am thrilled to say it is. I will be purchasing one for each of us. Super excited. I love how brightly colored this one is as well. It is going to make it nice to hike and camp with." —Shadow Breaker

    Get it from Amazon for $10.95 (also available in gray).

    15. A magnetic hanging utensil set with all the kitchen greatest hits: a slotted spatula, spaghetti server, slotted spoon, solid spoon, and a ladle. They all nest together to form an aesthetically pleasing rainbow that doesn't take up too much counter space.

    Promising review: "We travel full-time and move every three months so everything has to be compact and packable. These replaced five other kitchen utensils that did not nest in each other. They sit on the counter ready to use. They are sturdy and have been used in nonstick ceramic and cast-iron pans. Very happy with this set." —Justice Talbot

    Get a set from Amazon for $28 (available in three other color varieties).

    16. A Supergoop Getaway Kit with everything you need to survive a beach trip, all with playful packaging from Gray Malin (the photographer behind the iconic coffee table book, Beaches).

    all the items from the kit

    17. A power strip with an ultra thin outlet cover so you can enjoy all your ports without dealing with buiky cords getting in the way of keeping your furniture flush to the wall.

    Promising review: "The design of this is great. I always hated putting plugs behind furniture and either not using the plug, or the furniture being inches away from the wall. This is the perfect solution. I have a few of these now behind couches and dressers in the house and they are great. This is more expensive than some other flat extension cords but I think the look and quality of these is worth it." —Adam C.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95.

    18. A set of popular wickaway sweatbands to keep your sweat at bay, aka out of your face and eyes.

    Promising review: "Amazing quality! These are super soft and keep your head cool when working out! I couldn’t believe how well they work at wicking away moisture and staying cool! They came in a super nice box that will help me to not lose them — like I’m prone to. The colors are cute and the headbands aren’t too tight at all! They have nice stretch to them if you have a larger head. This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made on Amazon! I’m so glad I bought these!" —Gypsigirl213

    Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $17.99.

    19. A handy multitool jar opener that uses the power of grippy rubber and torque to make opening any stubborn jar a breeze. It also comes with a bottle opener that can also open some cans!

    Psst — a lot of reviewers with arthritis swear by these for pain-free, easy opening, and parents say it makes it a lot easier for kids to open jars, too! 

    Promising review: "Having had arthritis in my hands since my teens, I have used many jar/bottle openers out of necessity. The OXO ones work well, but wear out within a year because of the volume of usage. This fabulous opener has yet to find a container that it cannot easily open, even bottles of water with heavily sealed caps. I love it so much I ordered another one to have in two drawers on either end of my kitchen. This gripper does not exacerbate my carpel tunnel syndrome, either. I would give it more stars if I could." —Patrizia L. 

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five colors). 

    20. A portable, all-in-one golf cleaner with a built-in spray bottle, scrub pad, brass groove cleaning tools, and brush all to make sure caked on dirt doesn't come between you and a birdie.

    Promising review: "I'll start with saying Caddy Clean is the top of the line cleaner when it comes to golf club care. If you think about it in a cost since you're spending $26 for something that can clean and care for your (very expensive) clubs and save you from purchasing new clubs a lot earlier. Not only is it efficient it is also convenient. Small and easy to carry as this all in one cleaner. The product design is sleek and professional and something I am truly happy to purchase. I have recommended it to all my fellow golfers and I am recommending it for you guys as well. If you care about your clubs and your golf game buy this product!" —Valo

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    21. A set of drill brushes so effective, you'll be shocked how clean your bathroom used to be.

    22. A brightening face mask made with 100% pure, edible fruits like lucuma, papaya, and sea buckthorn perry. It smells tropical, is packed with vitamin C, and gently exfoliates your skin. Just add water to activate.

    This Black-owned, Brooklyn-based company focuses on beauty and wellness products made with natural ingredients and superfoods.

    Promising review: "You get so much product with only a few drops of powder and water. I really need to get a mask brush! Love this!!!" —Taylor L.

    Get it from Golde for $34.

    23. Anti-chafing balm because summer should be pain-free, even if you're completely set on breaking in those new jelly sandals.

    You can put this stuff wherever needs protection, but they also sell Foot Glide as well.

    Promising review: "This stuff really is AWESOME. I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). I bought this and it has been fantastic. No rubbing, no issue. And it is super easy to use, just slide it on like you'd use deodorant. I give it a few good swipes on any area that may even think about touching and I'm done. It's light as a feather and leaves no residue (see above photo). It is so light that I actually thought that it wouldn't work, as I was expecting some slippery substance, but that was not the case. I have taken this on the ULTIMATE test... a vacation to Mexico where chaffing thighs become both me and my husband's problem due to the constant wet skin and walking. So we both used it on a hike in a jungle. I just knew this would fail me. I was sweating, my things were sweating, my husband was sweating. I was expecting to have the stuff just wear off from the sweat and all the walking but... NOPE! It stayed on. I even took a dip in a waterfall and it was still on to take me back to the beach. Neither one of us had any problems and my husband was equally impressed. He said we weren't ever going on a vacation again without it. LOL! So I absolutely recommend this product. Try it, you will not be disappointed!" —SweetPea

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    24. A foaming hand soap that dispenses yuzu-scented foam in the shape of a flower. I'm sorry is this the bathroom of a MAGICAL FOREST SPRITE?

    25. A bag of low-carb, sugar-free, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free brownie mix for an inclusive treat everyone can enjoy.

    Promising review: "I'm not a fan of sugar. I'm 24 but it just doesn't agree with me. So when I visited my parents my mom started RAVING about these brownies because she's on a keto diet and has a huge sweet tooth, well....I ate three huge portions and she was mad but I'm already making more upstairs as I type this! Delicious! Wouldn't know it was sugar-free unless you told me." —meh

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    26. A wildly popular hair serum packed with vitamin E, aloe vera, and argan oil to ensure your mane stays silky soft and frizz-free, no matter how humid it gets (Florida bbs, this one is for you).

    27. EcoKind's Himalayan yak cheese chews that are a solid alternative to bully sticks and will keep your aggressive chewer busy for a long, long time.

    My dog has a sensitive stomach and can't have bully sticks or rawhide, so I'm always looking for new chews that will last more than half an hour. Yak cheese sticks are great because they last a long time (around 6-8 hours) and actually smell pretty good. Usually you can get one bone for $15ish, so I was delighted to find a whole bag of bones for $25. My dog isn't quite as wild for these particular chews, but he does eat them and they keep him busy for hours. My favorite part: When there's just a nub left, you can put it in the microwave for 90 seconds and it swells into a biscuit-like crunchy treat. No choking hazard or waste like with bully sticks! 

    Get them from Amazon for $22.46+ (available in seven sizes). 

    28. A pack of 14 medicated, waterproof wart-removing bandages that will make your wart erupt from the depths of your skin like a gross butterfly.

    29. The Pink Stuff, an all-purpose paste that you can use to clean basically anything. Scrubbing will be a thing of the past. And the future? Sparkly clean items as far as the eye can see.

    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.

    31. kitchen s'mores maker that'll bring the best part of camping indoors, thus eliminating the need for camping at all. Indoor people, rejoice!

    It even comes with two roasting forks!

    Promising review: "We have been really enjoy this little s'mores maker — it's not big, doesn't take up a lot of space, but does exactly what it's meant to do. We can't build fires or anything like that around where I live, so this was our next best option. It's worked out great for us. Only thing is it only has two of the little roaster sticks, so if you have multiple people roasting you would need something else to use to stick your marshmallow on." —Debb

    Promising review: "Love this mascara! I’ve used the 'best of the best' designer, super hyped, ultra popular mascara available and NOTHING compares to this stuff! I don’t even bother using a lash curler anymore! I buy two at a time so I always have a spare (yes, it’s that good!!). I highly recommend this particular mascara...it goes on effortlessly, it lasts pretty much all day, and the price — I feel like I’m almost stealing it! I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!!" —chulaboola
