9. A spinning makeup brush cleaner that'll clean and dry your dirty makeup brushes in under a minute. Your kabuki brush (and your skin) will thank you.
"I'm know I'm not alone in not washing my makeup brushes as often as I should. It takes forever, and even once I'm done cleaning them, I still have to let them dry overnight. But this spinning makeup brush cleaner has totally changed the game. It uses a battery-operated spinner to swish the dirty brush in soapy water (I just used liquid soap, but you can also use special makeup brush shampoo), and then you just lift the brush out of the water and keep it spining for a few seconds — voilà! Within 30 seconds, the brush is totally clean and — more importantly — totally dry." —Kat Angus

10. 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 their WFH desk and that it works well on large mugs, too.
11. A weekly pill organizer that'll help you keep track of your daily vitamins and tablets. Each individual container is divided in two, so you can separate your a.m. doses from your p.m. ones.
This year, I made it a goal of mine to hop on the vitamin train and actually take them consistently. This weekly organizer has been super helpful in making sure I do. I love that you can take each pod out, so if I'm out for the day, I can just stash the one into my pocket (instead of hauling around the whole container). I also love that each pod has two separate compartments, so I can keep my melatonin the heck away from my daytime supplements.

18. Two sets of bed sheet fasteners that'll save you from waking up on your bare mattress. Just clip them onto the four corners of your sheet and you'll instantly be less of a slob.
"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

20. 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.

25. A pancake batter mixer that'll save you from dirtying a million dishes before breakfast. It comes with a whisk ball that will smooth out any clumps with a few shakes and a spout that'll let you squeeze out the batter (without any spills!).
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.

32. A tube of Neutrogena face sunscreen, because you should protect your skin all year round. It uses hyaluronic acid to help keep your skin hydrated, too — so it's especially fab for those of us who suffer from dry skin.
