    If You Want To Feel More In Control Of Your Life, Here Are 39 Things To Check Out

    These colorful fine-tip pens that don't bleed through planner pages are all fun and games until Leslie Knope steals every single one.

    1. A six-outlet wall charger designed specifically for larger chargers that also comes equipped with two USB fast-charging ports *and* a night-light, because for a lot of us, more time at home = more new gadgets = WAYYY more cables than you're used to being responsible for.

    2. A poop bag dispenser with a flashlight so you'll never have to play guessing games at night with the *one* substance nobody ever wants to play games with. It also comes preloaded with 15 waste bags and attaches easily to your dog's leash!

    3. A sparkling-wine saver that will keep your bubblies bubbling so you can pop your prosecco any day of the week and know you won't have to waste one single drop.

    4. An adorably encouraging daily planner for anyone who's looking for a little more structure in their routine, but not so much that it stresses them out. With this, you can fill it out on especially busy days and rip off each page and take it with you for reference wherever you need to go.

    5. A set of eye-popping fine-point pens designed specifically not to bleed through pages, so you can color code your planners and journals to your deeply organized heart's content.

    Fine point pens in 18 different colors

    6. A home organization printable to guide you from room to room in your house, giving you an efficient and *much* less stressful way to tackle each mess in your house, one step at a time.

    PDFs of checklists for rooms like kitchen, bedroom, and laundry

    7. A Bluetooth transmitter that'll instantly connect your wireless headphones to anything that has a headphone jack, like the TVs at the gym or on airplanes or even your Nintendo Switch. Now you can finally listen to Tom Nook go "ghjkhkajfdkj" in peace.

    8. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that works its magic on your glass in just 20 seconds, so you can finally enjoy a glass of Pinot knowing you've spared yourself the infamous Post-Wine Headache or allergic reactions.

    9. A memory foam seat cushion for your tushy so effective at relieving pressure from your tailbone and back that you can decide any chair in the house is your work-from-home chair now, no matter how determined it looks to bug your spine.

    10. An internet-beloved time-marked water bottle you can get in a bajillion different colors to remind you to stay hydrated during the day and know exactly how much you drank.

    11. A satin-lined Hairbrella that's got your back winter, spring, summer, and fall — it protects against rain, snow, humidity, and pretty much anything else mother nature can throw at you while perfectly preserving your hairdo.

    12. An affordable sunrise alarm clock that's a total game-changer for heavy sleepers or people who sleep in pitch black rooms, which make it all-too-tempting to slam "snooze" in the morning. This gradually lights up the room in the minutes leading up to your alarm, so your eyes are already adjusted to the light and significantly less groggy when it's time to get yourself up and attem.

    13. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen for sensitive teeth and gums that can help lighten up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just ... you know. Existing as a human with teeth. All in all, a much gentler, cheaper alternative to pricey whitening procedures.

    14. A necklace detangling clasp so you can layer your favorite pieces over an outfit the exact way you want them without having to pull them apart like bickering siblings at the end of each day.

    15. A portable dual monitor for your laptop so you can go all "Professor X" on your work flow no matter *where* you are — a real perk now that a lot of people are working remotely.

    16. A set of bed bands to lock your fitted sheets neatly into place once and for all, so you can finally get the peaceful, untangled sleep you deserve every night.

    17. An auto shut-off outlet to save you from the dreaded "Did I turn off the ......... " at all hours of the day — this powers down anything plugged into it within 30 minutes, just in case.

    18. A reversible satin bonnet you can customize to your exact hair (*and* aesthetic) needs — not only can you pick the colors, but also the size of the bonnet, which has an adjustable elastic cord and stopper to make sure it stays secure on your head.

    19. A seat gap filler so you can focus on driving and never again have to sacrifice a beloved french fry and/or phone to the abyss between the seat and the console.

    20. A roll-on migraine stick made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils to help you soothe away those vague headaches that keep stopping you from tackling your to-do lists.

    21. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that a lot of reviewers bought to finally tackle their bad breath once and for all, but ended up loving even *more* because it made their mouth feel so squeaky clean (and in a lot of cases, made their taste buds experience flavor a lot more intensely!).

    22. A set of affordable, highly popular (seriously, these have over 80,000 5-star reviews!) wireless Bluetooth earbuds to give you full range of motion, whether you're doing an at-home workout and need to keep the music down or you're trying to take a call without getting wires tangled in your face mask. Heck, you can even take these in the SHOWER.

    23. A bunch of Miracle-Gro "food spikes" that will basically turn you into a god by letting you bring all your plants back from the brink of death. (Bonus: it'll continuously feed them for 30 to 60 days!)

    24. A mug warmer to keep coffee piping hot long after it's brewed, so you can regulate its temperature all morning long instead of lugging it to the microwave.

    25. A set of adhesive cable clips you can stick to your desk to keep your charging cables locked in one convenient place, so your desk will no longer look like a maze designed for an existentially-fraught bug with all the wires crossed on it.

    26. A soft silicone ear-saver and mask-extender that works overtime on problem-solving — not only does it take some of the pressure off your ears, but it helps make a more personalized fit on masks with elastic straps that aren't the right size, so you get a perfect fit every time.

    27. An all-natural deodorant balm made with aloe, kaolin clay, and illippe butter — ingredients that help moisturize skin while absorbing excess oils — to finally banish all the residue and skin irritation from your regular brand once and for all.

    28. A TubShroom, a little gizmo you can stick in your shower drain to catch all your hair before it clogs up your pipes and becomes a living nightmare. The hair coils around it to make it even easier to remove, making it both handy *and* semi-horrifying!

    29. A set of Sea Bands, which target an acupuncture point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. Basically, if you're someone who has motion sickness, morning sickness, migraine nausea, or even nausea brought on by cramps, this may the be thing to take you from 🥴to 😊.

    30. An earwax removal kit, so you don't have to wait until your yearly physical for your doctor to be like "um WHOA" and fix it for you. This is quicker, easier, and will be a huge relief for those of us waxy individuals who sometimes wake up in the morning with an ear so fully clogged up that it feels like you're underwater.

    31. A ring size adjuster for loose rings, so you can get the *precise* right fit without spending precisely way too much money to get your jewelry resized.

    32. A Java Sok, aka a reusable iced coffee cup insulator you can use to keep your drink cold *and* your fingers from freezing off. I know some of y'all are the type who are chugging iced coffee year round and I humbly offer you this solution to letting your hand go numb.

    33. A Squatty Potty, one of those internet-famous stools you can put at the base of your toilet to prop your feet up on while you ~go~. The placement helps align your colon to make the process a whole lot easier and faster — like, 20 seconds compared to several minutes! — so you don't end up watching all of TikTok while you're waiting yourself out.

    34. An smudgeproof eyeliner stamp so you can finally get the perfect cat-eye on the first go without having to ~wing it~ (read: wasting eight cotton balls, half a bottle of eye makeup remover, and all of the minutes you were setting aside to make your morning coffee).

    35. A glare-free Kindle Paperwhite that not only can hold thousands of books, but will let you read them the *chef's kiss* way you like best — you can customize with all your favorite fonts and layouts, and organize your virtual shelves to your precise standards. Bonus — its charge lasts weeks (plural!!), and it's waterproof, so you can take this bb in the bathtub 🍷.

    36. A detangling brush with an easy-to-hold handle that's so effective on all hair types that it's amassed over 17,000 5-star reviews on Amazon — people swear by it for detangling fast without pulling on or damaging hair (or buying an entire shelf's worth of detangling creams that never *quite* do the trick).

    37. A set of airtight glass meal prep containers that are safe in the oven and the microwave, meaning you can cook, store, reheat, and eat out of 'em without *any* extra dishes to deal with. OH! They're also stackable, so no space wasted in the fridge. We love to see (and eat) it.

    38. A trio lasagna pan designed so all of your edges are so perfectly crisped *and* you can tailor the ingredients of each row to your precise, exact specifications. Watch me shove six extra layers of cheese into mine, fam.
