    36 Products Tons Of People Use, But For Some Reason You Didn’t Get The Memo

    So you won't spill sauce in your car or go fishing for the clasp on your favorite necklace.

    1. The Milky Jelly Cleanser + Futuredew because this dynamic duo covers two of the most important steps in your skincare routine: cleansing and moisturizing. These nourishing products are ideal for any time of day.

    2. A super-absorbent, lightweight microfiber towel to minimize frizz without breaking the *finest* of hair. How? Microfiber is about 100 times finer than human hair, so it causes less friction.

    3. A TubShroom drain protector that your shower drain won't thank you enough for — believe me. No more paying for costly plumbers or pouring money (Draino) down the drain after wash day.

    4. A suprisingly effective migraine stick to free yourself from splitting migraines with the help of peppermint, spearmint, and lavender therapeutic grade oils.

    5. A brown sugar–softening bear for keeping your brown sugar moisturized, finely milled, and unclumped for up to six months. All you gotta do is put it in water for 20 minutes and pop it into some sugar.

    6. An incredibly soft Benchmade Modern sofa because your couch is likely the most expensive thing in your home so you might as well get it right. This completely customizable gem includes complimentary fabric swatches, a life-sized printout to double-check your dimensions, and curbside delivery.

    7. A genius microfiber brush set to really get in the nooks and crannies of your blinds, vents, and other annoyingly tight areas. Time to kick those dust bunnies to the curb!

    8. A stick jewelry cleaner because diamonds are meant to shine✨, hunny. The polished bristles in this pen will restore your gem to its former glory.

    9. A jar of Active Wow charcoal powder to spare you the embarrassment of watching people cringe when you speak because of that breath. Featuring ingredients like orange seed and coconut oil, this'll help your teeth look their best.

    10. A flexible cable protector for high-use cords that somehow always seem to be frayed. I wish these coexisted when wire headphones were at their peak.

    11. A hanger stacker so your closet will look ten times less cluttered. Everyone who has a minuscule, cramped closet knows the struggle.

    12. A durable honeycomb drawer organizer because let's face it, your underwear drawer could look so much better. With this, you'll be able to locate your favorite pair without pulling everything out.

    13. A teeny-tiny toenail brace for nails that have a tendency to pierce skin completely unprovoked. This should help alleviate pain in less than three days.

    14. A bottle of Glossier Solution that's, admittedly, a really vague name for a chemical exfoliator. But, don't let that deter you! It's got salicylic, glycolic, and lactic acids that are great for erasing acne scars.

    15. A mid-century modern plant stand so you can give your plant more sun exposure *and* make your room appear more spacious.

    16. A bag of Bottle Bright tablets because your bottles weren't always that dull, amber shade. Use this to restore them to their original glory in less than 24 hours!

    17. A planter that'll add some flavor to your windowsill. It has a drainage hole to allow your plants to discard excess water.

    18. A bracelet holder so helpful you'll be frustrated you didn't buy it sooner. It holds your jewelry in place so you can stop playing Marco Polo with the clasp.

    19. And a handy puller to give you the extra invisible "hand" you need when you're already late and need to zip up that dress FAST.

    20. A set of durable biodegradable hair ties because they always disappear 🤪. Now you can rest easy knowing they'll fully decompose, no matter where they end up.

    21. A convenient magnetic rack so you can rest your keys as soon as you're done fishing for the light. Keeping keys by the front door has never been so easy.

    22. A shirt-folding board because having your clothes bunched up in a drawer isn't exactly saving space. With this, you'll nail the perfect fold every time and transform your closet from a Marshalls into a Target.

    23. A pack of 36 hydrocolloid acne-absorbing patches so slurping the gunk out of your pores becomes utterly painless. These spot treatments work overnight so you can wake up pimple-free. If you have a habit of picking blemishes, these could help you change that.

    24. A buckle-free belt for simplifying your pant-wearing experience. No more fiddling with a buckle and almost peeing yourself in the process.

    25. A windshield cover that'll sheild your car from the cold snowy days that lie ahead. With this, you may be able to retire from your part-time job as a window scraper.

    26. A set of five Food Huggers silicone covers to basically "seal" any partially eaten produce. This method is way more sustainable than using plastic baggies

    27. A beauty spatula so you can squeeze every last ounce of product out of the jar. Try cleaning house by consolidating products with this!

    28. A 3D-printed clip-on sauce holder because juggling sauces while trying to drive isn't exactly safe. Sauce stains on seats ain't it either 🤪.

    29. A set of seat gap fillers so you no longer have to fish your keys, phone, and other small valuables out of the Grand Canyon between your seat and the middle console.

    30. A Squatty Potty for those whose digestive functionality is, regrettably, MIA. It just helps everything ~flow~ better.

    31. A pack of organic and recyclable ethylene-absorbing apples to breath in excess gas so your fruits and veggies can actually last. Anyone living in a food desert definitely knows the struggle.

    32. A 100% natural soy wax candle that's specifically designed to take care of pet-related smells. Now Fido's presence will be announced with a bark and not a stench.

    33. A Fresh Soy Makeup-Removing Face Wash that rocks because it's the most effective, gentle cleanser I've ever used — and I have oily skin. This pH-balanced face wash gets the job done without all the agitation or dryness.

    34. A Tushy bidet to cut down on toilet paper by washing away um, debris. If your nether regions are sensitive, they'll love this booty shower.

    35. An Always Pan designed to do the work of EIGHT pieces of regular old cookware — it comes with a lockable lid, steamer basket, pouring spout, and a nesting spatula with a built-in rest.

    36. A jar of Sichuan Chili Crisp from Fly By Jing — it looks so delicious, especially if you love spicy food. This'll add enough of a kick to shake your taste buds like Shrek shook Fiona when she was pretending to be asleep in that tower.

    What a memo!
