    37 Practical Things Your Parents Totally Want You To Buy

    You'll shock your parents the next time they come over when they see you now own adult things like an electric toothbrush, a live plant, professional knives, and a set of fluffy towels.

    1. A rechargeable Shark cordless hard floor vacuum/mop to get your floors clean in record time. Use the vacuum function to suck up big pieces of dirt, hair, and dust, and then you can switch right to spraying and mopping for a sparkling clean result.

    2. A Duvaid duvet cover changing accessory if you literally put off washing your sheets because re-inserting the duvet into the freshly washed duvet cover is such a pain in the butt. This nifty tool gets the job done in seconds!

    3. A stainless-steel Black + Decker four-slice toaster oven that's sure to remind you of those after-school pizza rolls you made yourself before your parents came home from work. Now you can use this to make and re-heat adult food...or you can just stick to the pizza rolls. We won't judge.

    4. A Brita Ultra Max filtering dispenser so you can keep cold, freshly filtered, great-tasting water at the ready for any of those surprise visits your parents love to make.

    5. A snake plant perfect for gardening novices because it can thrive in low light and doesn't require much watering. The next time your parents start asking when you're going to give them grandchildren, just show them this plant baby instead.

    6. A 16-piece set of furniture sliders to protect your beautiful hardwood floors while also saving your back from heavy lifting whenever you need to move a piece of furniture. They also work on carpet!

    7. A Home Chef subscription if you want to cook at home more but don't really have the time or energy to come up with meal ideas and go grocery shopping. Reviewers love the easy instructions, variety of options available, and the quality of the food they receive.

    8. Microfiber-blended kitchen towels with Dad joke-level puns on them to elicit a laugh from even the most serious of house guests. Plus: they're very absorbent!

    9. An Anker "PowerPort Cube" USB power strip — your parents might not understand why you need to plug in six different things for your home theater set-up, but they will be very impressed when they see how organized all your cords look.

    10. A brushed stainless-steel Simplehuman dual-compartment step trash can to keep your recycling separate from your garbage. One of the signs you're turning into your parents is when you get excited about a fancy new trash can — it's okay, just embrace it.

    11. A four-piece set of oven-, freezer-, microwave- and dishwasher-safe silicone mats (two circles, two squares) that will help you out with so many tasks in the kitchen — use it to grab a hot pot handle, as a drying mat, as a spoon rest while you're cooking, or as a trivet for hot dishes at the dining table.

    15. A bottle of Goo Gone adhesive remover to get rid of that aggravating residue left behind when you peel off a price sticker from a new purchase. It's also helpful around the house to get rid of glue stains or old tape marks, as you can see in the photo below.

    16. A pack of 30 multi-colored, PVC-coated, steel-wire utility clips so you can always have a clip handy whenever you open up a fresh bag of chips. They're also great for arts and crafts projects for little ones!

    17. A bottle of dermatologist-tested, mineral-based sunscreen from Think because no matter how old you get, you'll always have your parents' voice in the back of your mind saying, "Make sure to put sunscreen on!" whenever it's sunny out.

    18. A Filtrete air purifier to remove all of the dust, mold, pet hair, and any other microscopic nastiness that's floating through the air and making us sneeze.

This bright lantern lasts up to 30 hours on just battery power, so make sure to keep a few stored around the house in case of a power outage.

    22. A roll of heavy-duty, eco-friendly, machine-washable, reusable bamboo towels if you realize you go through way too many paper towel rolls in a month and want to cut down on your waste.

    31. An Always Pan that's as beautiful as it is practical. This one pan can replace your fry pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, nonstick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. People with a small kitchen and limited storage space: this do-it-all pan was made for you.
