Hey! While we try to keep our posts updated as much as we can, this post is actually from 2018, so we can't guarantee that the pricing and/or availability of the products featured are accurate. For our most up-to-date recommendations, check out the 2019 version of this post!
1. A heat-resistant glove to help prevent painful burns when they bump a finger up against that curling rod they almost have the hang of using.
2. A genius splatter guard that'll turn frying bacon into a painless task.
3. A bottle of bruise cream for the friend who always manages to bump into things that aren't even in their path. (It me.)
4. Oven-rack shields because you can't let another meal prep sesh get foiled by bumping your wrist into a scorching oven rack.
5. Or a notched oven tool that'll pull out racks and push in dishes.
6. A wearable nail-polish holder to help avoid spills and smudges, even if you're painting your nails in the car while someone else is driving.
7. Or a bottle holder — it can rest on a flat surface and allow you to even tilt your bottle to get the last dregs of that limited-edition color.
8. Wine sippy cups that'll save them some dignity when you're all drinking out of these as a group, obviously not because the last time they were over they spilled red wine all over your couch.
9. And a red wine stain remover to have JUST IN CASE because you never know!
10. A travel mug with an auto seal because they've run out of people to sue for spilling hot coffee all over themselves.
11. A bold doormat that'll remind them to *properly* wipe off their shoes and help prevent indoor slips!
12. Anti-slip stair stickers befitting the #1 pup who still hasn't gotten the hang of gracefully descending the stairs. But the v good boy still tries like the lil' pup that could.
13. Anti-skid socks for when they want to venture across slippery hardwood floors to the fridge without risking a fall.
14. And some no-skid house slippers in case they want something a little more substantial on their footsies while scooting around the house.
15. A ~groovy~ multipurpose grabber for heat-safe leverage when it comes to hot pans, microwaved dishes, hot hair tools, and so many other things around the house.
16. A water-resistant laptop case as a swap for their coffee-drenched one after one too many morning-bev accidents.
17. A two-pack of ~useful~ Scotchgard so you can gift one to that friend and hang onto one for spill-proofing your home before they drop by for a visit.
18. A PopSocket to facilitate a better grip when taking selfies, texting while walking, and other phone-y activities that can be perilous to that mini computer you depend on for your damn life.
19. A waterproof case that'll withstand all sorts of extreme behavior, like toppling off a ski lift, falling into a white water rapid, or swiping on dating apps while on the toilet.
20. A drawstring makeup pouch so you won't slip and fall on a rolling mascara tube, which is the new banana peel. Haven't you heard?!
21. A mini cord organizer for preventing a flipped computer monitor while in pursuit of a phone charger.
22. A ~bright~ power strip ready to twist in an out-of-the-way angle. It's all about preventing accidents before they can happen!
23. Cut-resistant gloves, lest they make a Monty Python joke about how that gouge 'tis but a flesh wound before they pass out from blood loss.
24. A ~graceful~ keychain as a means to embrace their inner Steve Urkel while they're working on their Stefan.
25. A box of 100 ~celestial~ bandages to make boo boos look like they've disappeared into a black hole.
We're all just trying our best!
