1. I knew I'd reached adulthood when I got excited about a vegetable spiraliser. This electronic one allows you to make four different shapes – can you sense my excitement?
2. Once you have an adequate amount of stationery (it's only a matter of time until you will), a compact organiser like this one will become a necessity.
3. Get ready, this one's for the real adults – a portable mini vacuum cleaner. It can be used on anything from a computer keyboard to a cushion that's covered in cat hair.
4. Being on top of your water intake is the ultimate task (it is for me, anyway) but this 2.2L water bottle makes it a whole lot easier to monitor how much you're drinking each day.
5. I used WD-40 for the first time recently, and I genuinely felt my maturity increase by about 72%. This multi-use lubricant will help you with almost anything D.I.Y – plus it has a precise applicator so you don't need to be an expert to figure out how to use it.
6. The ultimate public display of adulthood to me is wearing a "sensible heel", which this classic pair of kitten heels most definitely has – whilst still looking super cute.
7. You know that you're maturing when you invest in some serious skincare products. This deeply hydrating night cream is cruelty free, vegan, natural, and suitable for all skin types.
8. This highly rated all-purpose stain remover will get rid of new and even dried-in stains in 10-15 minutes. If that doesn't excite you, you've got some more adulting to do.
9. People that have their lives together always seem to be home workout enthusiasts (I've noticed a pattern) – and this pack of multi-use resistance bands means you don't have to invest in a load of heavy equipment to be one of them.
10. According to every adult anyone has ever met, there's never enough time in the day. So a recipe book with quick and easy dishes sounds like something we all need.
11. Nothing screams "true adult" to me like people who own a pocket-size diary. This mid-year academic diary runs from August to August, so it's not too late to get this one in your basket.
12. This best selling clothes steamer will allow you to keep your clothes wrinkle-free, whether you're at home or on the move!
13. I can't be the only one that thinks drinking coffee automatically makes you an adult, so really, this Nescafé Gold coffee is a need not a want.
14. And of course, as you need to appear to be a regular coffee drinker, this set of two glass coffee mugs is a staple.
15. A mini sewing kit screams maturity to me, so here's a nifty little set that's compact and has everything you could need.
16. This magnetic whiteboard sheet is a great little addition to your fridge door – ideal for to-do lists, shopping lists, or anything to keep you organised and on track.
17. Simply owning a fruit bowl puts you in the adult category, and this chrome-finish bowl even doubles up as a decorative piece to complement your kitchen worktop.
18. Being an adult is getting excited about mould remover, and this highly rated product is one of the best.
19. So you're officially a "don't leave a ring on the table" person, which means you might need to invest in some cute coasters (these ones are even absorbent).
20. The design of this toilet roll holder is actually very handy – surely you can't not get excited about this?
