"They're very easy to install: Just attach the metal clips to the four corners of the fitted sheet and slide them around the bottom of your mattress when you put the sheet on. The stretchy elastic straps are also adjustable to create the perfect amount of tension. And when it's time to wash your sheets, you can just unclip them." —Kaysey Davis

13. A teeny-tiny bike storage rack that'll tuck your summertime ride away, as well as free up some floor space. With one clip per bike, installation is wildly minimal — just mount it onto a wall and pop the front wheel in.
So, here's my embarrassingly packed (and messy) storage closet to showcase just how handy this neat little gizmo is. Without it, it'd be a nightmare to find a safe spot for my bike. With it? Look! At! How! Compact! Seriously, if you live in an apartment with minimal storage (and hate leaving your bike outside to rust or get stolen), this thing is literally the best.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $33. Also available in a slightly bigger size for mountain bikes.
14. A 30-piece kitchen block that'll give you every cooking utensil you'll ever need, in one spot. It'll save you from rummaging through your over-crowded drawers every time you need a spatula.

29. A mug warmer that'll save you from making the trip to the microwave every time you forget about your cup of tea. Reviewers say it's great to keep on your WFH desk, especially if you're constantly on calls and can't always find a moment take a sip.

30. A shower curtain with mesh pockets (!!!) to avoid cluttering your tub with shampoo bottles and loofahs. You can hang it so the pockets face in or out of your tub, depending on where you need the storage more.

31. This genius avocado tool that'll split, de-pit, and slice your avos, making breakfast a little easier on you. You can use it to slice boiled eggs, kiwis, and strawberries, too.

32. A pack of anti-fog wipes that'll prevent your specs from blinding you every time you get in from the cold (or when you put on a mask). Each wipe can be used effectively up to 700 times, so it'll last you a while!

"This is an absolute must-have for anyone who wears glasses, because we've all been struggling with fogged-up lenses whenever we wear face masks. You just breathe on both sides of the lens and use the cloth on it for about ten seconds — your glasses will be fog-free for about 24 hours. Now I can actually see when I go outside in my mask!" —Kat Angus
Get it from Amazon Canada for $9.95. Available in multiple size packs.

34. A fabric shaver that'll help you get all those annoying pills off your favourite sweaters. It's especially great if you're the kind of person who somehow always manages to get that extra fluff stuck in your eye every time you pull a shirt over your face (hi, hello! That's me).
"I got this because my favourite sweaters were starting to look kind of grungy. I tried using lint rollers, but they weren't picking up enough of the pills on my knits, and it was so time consuming. This electric shaver got rid of ALL the annoying pills and my sweaters look good as new. It's super gentle on clothes and it took way less time to get rid of the pills. I'll definitely be using this going forward." —Kaysey Davis
Get it from Amazon Canada for $16.99 (originally $20.99).
35. A set of three merino wool dryer balls that'll cut down on static, wrinkles, and how long your laundry will need to spend in the dryer. They're made of hypoallergenic organic wool, so they won't add anything to your clothes that would irritate your skin.
