1. A set of nostalgic NES cartridge coasters that'll bring you back to your simple childhood days when you spent hourssss playing Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong in your mom's basement.
2. A big ol' bag of powdered cheddar cheese because the dinky packets your macaroni comes with are just not even close to enough.
3. An Executive Producer Dick Wolf keychain if Law and Order: SVU's iconic intro (you know — "DUN DUN") plays in your mind on an infinite loop.
4. A set of nail decals in a dark starry design or black and gold snake motif that will have people asking how you can afford such detailed manicures every week.
5. A biodegradeable 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.
6. A set of Patchology's green tea–infused Perk Up Eye Gels guaranteed to depuff and brighten with one of *my* fave ingredients (in skincare and otherwise) — caffeine!!! 🍵 Just pop 'em on while you watch your fave Bravo show and sip a glass of Chardonnay (for good measure) while they work.
7. A self-watering planter for the succulent lover who can barely down enough H2O themselves. The felt tongues suck up ~just~ enough water for plants to thrive and once they've outgrown their adorable lil' pots, they can be replanted.
8. A luggage-mounted cup caddy because if you're anything like me, coffee is HIGH on your list of airport priorities and you could likely use an extra hand to carry it.
9. A "boring" but clutch Billie razor subscription so you never run out of replacements — especially in key moments like "Oh dang, I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and I haven't shaved in six months."
10. A terra-cotta bear that, when presented with a bag of brown sugar, will bravely say "I volunteer as tribute!"
This adorable little guy can be used a few different ways. To keep things like brown sugar and fresh cookies nice and moist, soak it in some water and then place it in the same container. On the flip side, keep things like chips and crackers nice and crispy by using it dry.
Promising review: "Not only do I use one of these little fellows for my brown sugar, I picked up a tip from someone else. If you take one of these little guys and don't run him under water, but leave him perfectly dry, he will help keep your electronics such as cameras dry in the camera bags during humid months by absorbing the humidity. How perfect is that? A multitasking little fellow. Well worth getting multiples of. I'm sure I can find other uses as well." —A.B.A.
Get it from Amazon for $10.50.
11. A tub of Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel sure to give your skin a big ol' gulp of hydration with a hyaluronic acid–based water-gel formula. Use it at night and you'll wake up with baby-soft skin.
Promising review: "I went from very dry, flaky, and angry skin to soft and supple in about one week. I noticed a change instantly. My acne has even started clearing up. Keep in mind I also added vitamin E oil serum to my skincare routine at the same time. I highly recommend. The product has a great consistency, is cooling/calming, light, and has a pleasant smell." —Victoria Couty
Get it from Amazon for $16.50.
12. Does It Fart?: The Definitive Field Guide to Animal Flatulence — a hilarious book you can whip out whenever you want to get your guests laughing. That, or you can just leave it on the back of your toilet and let them discover it for themselves.
13. 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!
Shady Creek Naturals is a family-owned small cleaning biz based in Dallas, North Carolina. Using their stain stick is *so* simple. Just wet whatever is stained and then give it a good rub with the solid formula before throwing it back in the wash.
Promising review: "Amazing, amazing! This stain remover has gotten grass stains, mud stains, bloodstains, and ink stains off clothes. Nothing has worked so good before. I love this! Will definitely order more!!" —Sasha Gonzalez
Get it from Shady Creek Naturals on Etsy for $8.
14. A tub of Soap & Glory's Flake Away to decimate dead skin. Slather on the exfoliating but gentle mix of sea salt, sugar, apricot seed, and shea butter, and you'll feel slick as a dolphin after.
15. An initial pendant on a box chain if you want to keep your boo close at heart. Or, actually, your dog — I'd probably get one for my dog.
16. A pair of scrunchie-style Apple Watch bands that won't pinch your wrist or leave you with an angry red circle of skin. If you're already used to wearing hair ties, there's really no difference!
17. A chic set of fidget spinner rings you can play with whenever you feel a bit anxious. That way, you don't bite your nails, crack your knuckles, or chew on the end of all your pens.
18. A tub of Scrub Daddy's PowerPaste. The naturally abrasive clay-based cleaning compound can tackle dirt, lime scale, grease, food residue, soap, and whatever else is plaguing you.
19. A lightweight closet system that can hold up to 16 T-shirts at once so you don't have to waste bureau space on raggedy PJs and tees that are on their last legs and should really be converted into cleaning rags already.
The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business from Kelso, Washington. Check out this helpful video that shows you how to load and unload the Roll Keeper!
Promising review: "Our family is growing, and I realized there's a lot of space in a closet that isn't being used. That's how I came across these, and now I have them in all the closets. They make getting clothes so easy, and now we have more space for the growing family! XOXO!" —Megan
Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $16.99 or from Amazon Handmade for $12.59+ (available in two colors and two lengths).
20. An ultra-affordable tube of Peach & Lily clarifying cleanser because there's nothing better than starting and ending your day with a fresh face. PS: It's prescription strength, too.
I seriously stan K-beauty brand Peach & Lily's products (I use their gel moisturizer every day) and have been using this clarifying cleanser for a few weeks now. I have pretty sensitive skin so switching products is often a gamble but this hasn't done me wrong! It's fragrance free and very gentle and I love how it suds up when applied. I find it comparable to First Aid Beauty's cleanser (my usual go-to; check it out here) — not in consistency/look, but in how fresh and clean my face feels after. Plus, it's, like, less than half the price!
FYI: The brand — founded by Alicia Yoon — is also Asian and woman owned.
Get it from Peach & Lily for $10.99.
21. A hanging purse organizer if your handbags are taking up a considerable chunk of your closet — precious space that could be used for more clothes instead.
Promising review: "I was quite skeptical when I ordered this purse organizer but decided for the price, I'd go ahead and take the chance. Well! This is a winner. There's no assembly. It hooks over the clothes rod, right alongside the clothes hangers. I held my breath as I began to push through a couple of my larger purses. The larger ones protrude a bit on each end but the sling fits like a glove around the purse and prevents sliding. The smaller purses fit quite nicely. I like that my more costly bags will not be a dust catchall now and will also be protected from scratching. All in all, I'm impressed with this product and happy with this purchase. It is a space saver. I recommend it. I hope it holds up well. I think it will." —Beje
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).
22. A Lola subscription if your partner means well but — bless their heart — always grabs you the wrong sanitary items when you send them on an emergency run to CVS. Now you'll always be stocked up.
23. A strawberry Pocky AirPod case that's not only an *incredibly* perfect shade of pink, but also functionally sounds as it makes much easier to track down your headphones in the black hole that is your errand-running tote bag.
24. 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.
25. A 20-piece set of Browndages because what's "nude" for one person may not be for another, and bandages should be inclusive!
26. A chonky cowboy cat pin you can affix to your jean jacket or backpack so it can say "meowdy" to anyone you pass. (For transparency, I 100% didn't come up with the term meowdy — that credit goes to the seller!)
27. A pair of microfiber duster slippers which turn your midnight run to the fridge into a mini cleaning session. Whoops, did you spill a bit of milk while taking a bite of your cookie? No worries — just give it a lil' wipey wipe.
28. A canvas cup holder made to cuddle your iced coffee on your walk back from Starbucks. If you drink iced bevvies year-round (sorry, but it's the only way to go), it'll keep your fingers from freezing.
29. A finishing stick that looks like a lil' mascara wand, but it's actually for the hairs on your head! If flyaways are something that bug you, give your hairline a good swipe and watch them be tamed without a fight.
30. A bottle of plant-based cuticle oil if your nails have been hurting from recent cold weather. The natural formula hydrates dry skin and strengthens your nails so you can work on growing them out, if that's something you've always dreamt of doing!
31. A handheld milk frother with a faux-wood or -marble finish that does cartwheels around its plain plastic competitors. No moving this gadget out of frame when you take an aesthetic IG shot!
32. A drain cover so you can add ~inches~ of extra water to your bubble bath. No more readjusting every five minutes so all parts of your body can experience what it's like to actually be underwater!
33. A pair of trendy sunnies that look like Ray-Bans but will run you way, way less because I *did* promise only under-$20 items and I intend to deliver. 😎
34. A two-pack of eyebrow soaps because you've been growing out your quarantine brows just for this moment — even if you didn't know it before now.
35. A fur-eliminating broom capable of squeegeeing enough fur from your carpet that if magically animated — you know, like those brooms in Fantasia — it would transform into a Pekingese.
36. A chonky seal pillow that won't judge you when you wake up at 1 p.m. and then climb back into bed with your leftover Dominos.
37. A cutlery organizer smartly designed to save a buttload of space. Sick of fishing around a jam-packed drawer on the search for your favorite fork? Give it a cozy, reliable place to call home.
38. A grooming glove so you can give your pet all the love they desire while covertly brushing away mats and tangles, too. Use it on wet or dryer fur (it's great in the bath) and on your feline friends as well.
39. A set of four sheet fasteners 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.
40. A reusable swab you can use just like any regular ol' cotton one. (Read: Just don't stick it in your ear!) The plastic alternative comes in a biodegradable case (made from 🌽) and it's been engineered to last for 1,000 uses so you don't have to buy carton after carton of single-use alternatives.
41. A makeup-removing shampoo because unfortunately, sponges are a hotbed for acne-hatching bacteria and cleaning them regularly costs a whole lot less than having to see a dermatologist.
42. A remote control caddy you can throw over the arm of your couch so you don't have to spend precious time digging through your cushions to find it. If you've ever had to download an app on your phone to replace a missing Roku remote, this is for you.
43. And Neutrogena's Makeup Remover Eraser Stick, which makes it easy to clean up mistakes, so if you're having one heck of a morning, fixing up your failed cat-eye will at least be easier than ever.
