    46 Things Under $15 That'll Probably Make A Huge Difference In Your Life Come 2022

    Go ahead and click...you and I both know you're curious.

    1. A large cup holder, because whoever designed the built-in ones in your car didn't consider the fact that you exclusively drink from XL water bottles and trenta Starbucks cups.

    2. A pair of "no splash" (LOL) nail clippers with a handy-dandy reservoir so you don't have to go on an I-Spy-style hunt for nail clippings after your at-home mani-pedi.

    3. A scrap collector for those who wipe bits of food into their sink before remembering their rental doesn't have a garbage disposal. 🤦🏼‍♀️ If you've ever had to fish soggy veggies or a handful of eggshells out of your drain, this should sell itself.

    4. A set of bedsheet holders that are basically like suspenders for your mattress, because nothing ruins a morning like having the corner of your fitted sheet pop off as you roll over.

    5. An 11-in-1 stainless steel pocket tool because you've listened to approx. 1,500 true crime podcasts, watched each and every film in the Saw franchise, and are now ready to MacGyver your way out of any nightmare situation you can think of.

    6. A pack of six cord bundlers so you can organize unruly appliances and electronics. No more tripping over rogue laptop chargers or KitchenAid cords.

    7. An adhesive LED strip that mounts to the back of your TV and helps your eyes adjust in the dark (aka bias lighting). The extra bit of light is pretty, but it also reduces eye strains and headaches so you can even add an extra hour to your Netflix viewing.

    8. A magnetic meal planner you can stick right to your fridge so you can easily keep track of the week's menu and any groceries you may need to pick up. Once you've written your list, rip out the perforated page and take it with you.

    9. A water bottle tracker decal because you already own 15+ Nalgenes and Hydro Flasks but you could use a visual reminder to drink more H2O.

    10. A dual dog leash so you can free up a hand and prevent your pups from unintentionally lassoing each other on your early morning walk.

    11. A trio of "Spa Collection" Chapsticks in R&R-inducing flavors like mint tea, almond oil, and rose water. This way, you don't have to remember to move a singular Chapstick from your purse to your car to your office drawer. This way you may even be able to finish a full tube without losing it!

    12. A set of bra extenders you can not only use on on your day-to-day bras, but also bodysuits and any other garment with hook-and-loop closures.

    13. A Seche Vite top coat to prevent chipped polish and yellow nails after your next at-home manicure. Better yet, reviewers say it dries so fast that they've even taken showers just 15 minutes after applying it without fear of bubbles or smudging! 🤯

    14. A 3D window film for some extra privacy and a kaleidoscopic light show whenever the sun rises.

    15. A set of silicone stove-counter gap covers so you won't attract unwanted critters after flinging pasta into the half-inch crevice for the third time this week. We all know nobody is actually cleaning it out (don't try to lie to us), so go ahead and do yourself a favor.

    16. A 20-piece set of Browndages because what's "nude" for one person may not be for another, and bandages should be inclusive!

    17. A washable sponge with a seriously shocking lifespan. According to reviewers, when washed and rotated in and out of use, they can last upward of a year!

    18. A copy of The Big Activity Book for Anxious People, which can help you take a step back from anxious thoughts by reading step-by-step instructions on how to build an underground bunker instead.

    19. An insulated neoprene cup sleeve because it doesn't matter that it's December and there's a blizzard brewing — you're still going out for iced coffee. This will not only keep your hands from freezing on the walk, but it'll also prevent condensation rings when you get home and place it right on your desk, no coaster in sight.

    20. A child-proof outlet cover that allows you to plug things in like usual but also give you peace of mind that your toddler won't be able to mess around with it.

    21. A scalp care brush so you can treat your noggin to a salonworthy massage right at home. The tool can also help get rid of dandruff so you can spend less time worrying about it accumulating all over your dark sweater.

    22. A heavy-duty ice scraper way more efficient than brushing your arm against your windshield. Since it's small, you can also tuck it right into a seat-back pocket so you never have to go searching for it.

    23. An address and password log book because look, I know the computer forgot your password but acknowledging that isn't about to solve the issue. Instead, write down all of your logins in this book and just be sure to keep it somewhere safe, huh?

    The address and password logbook which has three entries per page

    24. A 5-in-1 cork that aerates, pours, and filters your wine then serves as a leakproof stopper that extends the life of your bottle if you don't finish it in one go. (Though with the way things are going lately, that last use may be a moot point.)

    25. A washable cleansing towel that — once moistened with a bit of water — is capable of wiping away a full face of makeup. If you dread getting out of bed once you've gotten comfy, you can even keep it on your nightstand and use it right before you hit the sack. (Just keep a water bottle handy, too.)

    26. A set of LED stickers designed to dampen the bright lights of your various electronics. When surrounded by a sea of shining alarm clocks, PS4s, smart-TVs, sound bars, and monitors, they make all the difference.

    27. A set of Affresh dishwasher-cleaning tablets that can cut through lime and mineral buildup like no one's business. Used once a month, the septic-safe formula will keep your dishwasher blissfully clean and odor free.

    28. A humane mouse trap because as much as you hate living with the squeaky little critters, you'd never imagine harming them. Instead, you can use the Mouse Mansion to remove guests that've overstayed their welcome.

    29. A set of Avarelle rounded or extra-large hydrocolloid patches that can suck all the gunk out of your whiteheads while you sleep. If you have a habit of picking and popping surprise blemishes, keep some of these on hand.

    30. A set of Miracle-Gro spikes which will revive your potted plants with all of the micronutrients they've been missing. They're safe to use with any indoor plant and work for a full two months.

    31. A dip clip ready to hold the single most important part of your takeaway meal: CONDIMENTS. 🙌🏻 With this resourceful car vent caddy, you'll never have to eat a dry road fry or nugget again!

    32. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes because despite the fact that you have 17 different cleaners under your kitchen sink, it is SO much easier to reach for a one-and-done wipe.

    33. A transparent vaccine holder so your CDC record doesn't endure any tears, stains, or other signs of wear when you're out on the road and whipping it out frequently.

    34. A drain cover guaranteed to add ~inches~ of extra water to your bubble bath (now ft. a peppermint hot cocoa bath bomb). No more readjusting every five minutes so all parts of your body can experience what it's like to actually be underwater!

    35. An all-natural, vegan stain-removing stick capable of ridding the most PERSISTENT stains, from grease and blood to dirt and grass. Swipe some on to the stain and then wash your garment as you usually would — you don't even have to launder it immediately!

    36. A biodegradable bacon sponge on which you can drain grease from fried foods because you could not only clog your *own* drain if you dispose of it improperly, but your whole neighborhood sewer line as well.

    37. A set of heel caps so you don't become one with the Earth next time you attend an outdoor wedding. 'Tis the season, after all.

    38. A hands-free shopping bag carrier because everyone in your household seems to be on the phone, in the bathroom, or completely MIA when it's time to bring the groceries in. Luckily, this handle basically turns you into Hercules.

    39. A steel odor absorber ready to rid your hands of dinner's lingering garlic, onion, or fish scent. Use the gadget as you would any old bar of soap — with or without water, your choice — and you'll be good to go.

    40. A motion-detecting toilet light so you (hopefully) don't wake yourself up in the middle of the night when you run to pee.

    41. A pair of tube squeezers sure to extract every last drop of toothpaste so you can work smarter, not harder. No more fruitless wringing or throwing away extra product.

    42. A magnetic rack you can affix right to your light switch so you don't have to go through the 15-minute song and dance that is finding your keys every morning.

    43. A scratch-free scraping tool because the stickers on those TJ Maxx candles aren't going to remove themselves and you just painted your nails yesterday.

    44. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet so you don't grab what you think it a clean glass only to find it coated in curdled milk...

    45. A 26-inch coil brush you can use to pull what feels like an endless amount of lint from your dryer. Why? Because 1) Things are taking wayyyyy too long to dry and 2) This Is Us has given you a *major* fear of house fires. (I know that was caused by a different appliance but my point still stands.)

    46. And a set of beaded lanyards because we're now at the point where we're buying mask accessories. 🙃 But seriously, they'll prevent you from losing the most essential part of your outfit whenever you leave the house for some vitamin D.
