1. Bandages that'll ACTUALLY match your skin tone so your healing process will be seamless, quicker, and therefore less-painful. Also, maybe those Minions bandages look cute on your kid, but you don't want to wear one on your hand at your office job!
2. And a mini first-aid kit you can fill with your own supplies (like ^ bandages) and keep on you at all times for when minor catastrophes happen.
3. Cetaphil cleansing cloths as a good option for those with sensitive skin who need an easy face-cleaning solution on the go.
4. Elastic shoelaces you may just use on every last pair of shoes once you realize how much time they buy you in getting ready in the morning or just getting through security at the airport. (They also make putting on shoes easier for people who have a hard time bending over to tie laces.)
5. A sponge holder to blend in with your kitchen sink while promoting quick drying and letting bacteria know it can GTFO of your kitchen sponges.
6. A bedside caddy you'll congratulate yourself for purchasing next time you need your headphones and would pay $50 to NOT crawl out from underneath your covers.
7. A mug warmer to keep at your desk because you and I both know the only thing you hate more than cold coffee is your coworker whose pasta leftovers always get all over the microwave (and they never bother to clean it up).
8. And super specific but incredibly helpful microwave cover to help you heat up leftovers and avoid gross splatter. And it collapses for easy storage!
9. A texturizing dry shampoo (that smells slightly beachy) to perk up dirty hair without leaving weird white spots in dark locks.
10. A holographic highlighter palette because you wanna shine without spending your weekly disposable income on a shimmery cheek bone.
11. A lightning charging cable for your iPhone to keep at the office for those days when you were really looking forward to slipping into sweatpants at 6:03 p.m. but then the group chat reminded you it's someone's bday dinner tonight.
12. A setting powder made for oily skin to keep your T-zone looking like matte perfection during seasons when it normally feels like your makeup is sliding down your face on the way to work. But that's a thing of the past!
13. A box of slow cooker liners that'll make cleaning up after yourself (and delicious concoctions) criminally easy. Just toss the liner when you're finished!
14. A bright accordion folder where you can file important papers because no matter how many bills you go paperless for, there'll still be SOME physical papers you'll need to locate quickly.
15. A box of Magic Erasers to brighten dingy sneakers, remove walls scuffs, scrub away marks on stainless-steel sinks, and clean up grout stains on shower walls.
16. A pair of Drain Wigs, which is really just a funny name (that sounds like an excellent Drag Race insult) for drain hair catchers.
17. An easy jar opener — easier than those rubber things — so you won't have to burst a blood vessel in your eye just trying to open a jar of fancy preserves you, tbh, spent way too much on at the *nice* food store in your neighborhood.
18. A set of pastel highlighters to call your attention to the essentials during study sessions or organize a bullet journal without giving yourself eye strain — and therefore rendering that life helper a life hurter.
19. A pair of Fiskars scissors (I own and adore!) with a soft grip that'll cut as smooth as buttah without turning your poor hands red.
20. A shampoo brush that'll target buildup and hurt so good with the teeth massaging your scalp like you're at the salon. Plus it is SO CHEAP.
21. A paddle detangling brush that can do major things for unruly hair (and maybe save a few bucks of the detangling spray you normally use to douse your hair so post-shower detangling doesn't feel like a torture session).
22. A cotton tote in a cute pattern you can easily identify — like something street style–ready, fruity, or floral — to keep in your car or at your desk when today's bag just won't cut it for your storage needs.
23. Silicone baking mats that'll be game-changers if you haven't been lured in by their siren call yet thanks to their less-wasteful (and eventually, cheaper) ways than aluminum foil or other disposable pan liners.
24. A mattifying makeup primer for a smooth finish that'll stay that way for so much longer.
25. A glitter primer for keeping those sparkles in place, whether it's for a sizzling eye look or swatching.
26. A stick of anti-chafing balm to keep your inner thighs and other parts ouchless when it's time to get physical, physical.
27. A makeup sponge holder that'll let the air circulate so much better when you're drying it out post-wash. You're washing your makeup sponges, right? RIGHT?!
28. And a highly rated makeup sponge in case you've been bad about washing your current one and you could use some redemption.
29. A silicone-based lube can get you through all sorts of would-be sticky situations.
30. A coffee scoop/bag clip so you'll never have to track down a spoon to fill 'er up with caffeine while you're zombie yawning.
31. And a pair of reusable K-cups in case you find yourself buying coffee near your office instead of opting for the K-cups your company provides and you're v meh about. (I feel your pain.)
32. A wood polish with miraculous before and after pics — it might just have you seeking out all sorts of worn-out wood surfaces to rejuvenate.
33. An SPF 30 lip balm in a yummy acai flavor so sun protection will be far more appetizing.
34. And an easy lip stain for delivering major color that'll stay put for so much longer than regular lipstick or gloss.
35. An all-purpose cleaner (in pre-mixed or powder form) that'll give you legendary results around the house without costing as much as hiring an actual house cleaner.
37. A sheet of door-dampening bumpers that'll be silent and go unnoticed, much like your deep dive for snacks when the baby's asleep.
38. A 3-in-1 avocado tool for *safely* dismantling the green fruit faster for treats like toast, guac, and more!
39. A rugged dad cap in a range of colors to keep on standby for shielding your eyes from the sun or helping disguise a lackluster hair day.
40. A box of chocolate anuses that'll come in handy when you need a prank gift in a pinch. (Please let it be a prank gift.)
41. A heel liner to give some sweet relief for that amazing pair of shoes that slips just enough to leave your heels howling in pain.
42. And a couple of pairs of gel inserts can cushion your foot pads on the DL when you decide to wear heels.
43. A handy dino here to hold your phone while you take your millionth BuzzFeed quiz of the afternoon. (We support your BF quiz blackhole.)
44. A quick-dry top coat for a lasting finish over your home mani.
45. A headrest trash bag that'll eliminate your kids' excuses for littering on the car floor.
46. A *legit* oven cleaner ready to do the tough scrubbing for you.
47. A dog water dispenser you can throw in your bag for all sorts of adventures with your BFF. After all, you've both gotta hydrate in order to THRIVE.
