    40 Things You Deserve To Own If You Don’t Already

    These pull-on Levi's jeans are about to become your WFH uniform.

    1. A shampoo scalp massager you can use in the shower to massage and exfoliate your scalp, so you can get all of the relaxing decadence of feeling like someone is massaging your head without physically going to a salon. Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this has also helped with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness!

    2. A pair of ridiculously comfortable pull-on Levi's jeans for anyone who wants a go-to basic that'll work with just about any T-shirt in their closet. These are so comfy and easy to put on that they'll will make you want to throw your regular jeans out the window.

    3. A popular streak-free anti-fog spray you can quickly apply to eyeglasses, sunglasses, and face shields to prevent them from fogging up while you're wearing a mask instead of adjusting them every few minutes and hoping for the best.

    4. A set of affordable, highly popular (seriously, these have over 178,000 5-star reviews) wireless Bluetooth earbuds that make *excellent* AirPod dupes, except arguably better — these are completely waterproof (like you can fully take them in the shower) and come with several silicone earbuds to get the best fit possible.

    These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). 

    Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wish list. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold

    Get it from Amazon $24.99+ (clip the "20% off" coupon on the product page for this price; available in five colors).

    5. Plus a combination sleep mask with wireless headphones so you can listen to white noise, audiobooks, or music to relax without risking your ears getting sore while you snooze. Bonus: it's designed to work for side sleepers, and the inside is contoured with a cooling memory foam so you don't feel pressure on your eyes, either.

    6. A lightweight, faux-leather tote so versatile, it'll last through every season. Plus, side pockets!! Finally a place to store all the emergency ketchup packets.

    7. A custom Spotify playlist sticker that's basically the modern equivalent of a mix tape — all you have to do is give the seller the link to your playlist, song, or artist, and they can turn the QR code into a sticker so you or a bud can access it at all times. Best part is because it's a code, you can change the playlist around whenever you want, too!

    Promising review: "I'm so happy with it! It is cute in the photo, but it's super cute in person. Not to mention their packaging is phenomenal. It'd be pretty difficult for it to get damaged during shipping. Plus they gave me an extra sticker too😪 I got this as a Valentine's gift for my SO and I'm so excited to give it to them. Thank you so much!" —Randy

    8. A bottle of truffle seasoning that honestly has become one of my only personality traits, to the point where I'm just like, begging you to try it. I should gatekeep this stuff so I can have it all to myself but it is such a delicious and satisfying and ridiculously affordable alternative to real truffles that I'm throwing the gates WIDE OPEN.

    *wheezes in truffle* Okay, I bought this on a whim because there's a sushi place down the street from me that makes truffle avocado sushi rolls and I was like, I need these in my life, but I also need money to live. I decided to DIY it with a regular $4 avocado roll and this seasoning and the umami bliss of it all basically exploded my brain. Since then I've tried it on eggs, on burritos, on potatoes, on chocolate mug cakes, pretty much every sweet and savory thing I can think of. The best part is you really get an excellent bang for your buck — it's so flavorful that I've been using this for months now and have barely made a dent in the container! 

    Promising review: "Yes, I'm a truffle lover to begin with. And, of course, only a truffle is a truffle. But I gotta tell ya this delectable heaven-sent powder is one heck of a more versatile option. Utterly AMAZING on popcorn, in eggs, added to soups and sauces to layer flavors, veggies, PASTA...the list is endless (I think the only thing I haven't tried was sprinkling it on ice cream...although LOL). It is a bit salty, so I advise testing the waters first. But I just ordered my ninth and tenth bottle of the Truffle Zest." —Greengirl

    9. A memory foam seat cushion for your tushy so effective at relieving pressure from your tailbone that you'll finally stop losing sleep over your love-hate relationship with your chair.

    10. A face mask chain with a vintage feel to it so you can keep your mask handy on your person between errands *and* live your best, most cottagecore life.

    11. A sparkling-wine saver that will keep your bubblies bubbling, so you can pop your prosecco any day of the week without worrying about wasting the leftovers.

    12. A selfie ring light equipped with a tripod and cell phone holder to optimize your lighting sitch. Whether you're posting a cheeky selfie for the 'gram or stuck on Zoom for 800 years, this gadget's got your back (but, ya know, also your face).

    13. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait 8 to12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you.

    Before: a dirty shower floor; after: the clean shower floor

    14. A five-year One Line A Day journal perfect for anyone who keeps starting journals and then abandoning them — one line a day is *super* low commitment, so it'll likely stick (and imagine the satisfaction of looking back every year!).

    15. An MVP-worthy pet urine stain–removing spray that instantly tackles both old and new stains *plus* the yucky smell, so you can enjoy the quality time you're getting with your pet without sacrificing your carpet and/or your nostrils.

    16. An adorable peekaboo mug you can keep on your desk during the work day. Not only will it make for an adorable conversation piece during Zoom calls, but every time you guzzle coffee you'll have a surprise critter on your side rooting you through the 3 p.m. slump.

    17. 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.

    It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be raring to go!

    Promising review: "For many years, I have been that friend who always says 'no thanks, I can't drink wine.' Even one small small glass would give me the worst migraine. So, I gave up. Several weeks ago, I happened across an ad for Drop It and thought I might as well give it a shot. I took a big risk the day it arrived and had two huge glasses of red wine that I knew would give me a massive migraine the next day. It just so happened I had a midterm that next morning too — so the stakes were high. I woke up feeling fantastic. Since then I have repeated the experiment (to make sure it wasn't a fluke) and found that no matter how much wine I drink, as long as I use the drops, I don't have a migraine the next day. I'm so pleased to have found something that makes wine drinking possible and enjoyable again! I have nothing but great things to say about the product. It's easy to use and very discreet. I visited some friends last week and we spent a few hours at a wine bar. It was easy to add my drops. I took a small taste of the wine before adding the drops and found that it did not alter the taste at all. Thanks for a great product and a great buying experience. I will be back for more." —Mackenzie

    18. A dual hair dryer and brush to dry your hair as you style it and give your 'do an incredible amount of volume and shine, without the cost of a pricey blowout.

    19. A mini ice cube tray so you can enjoy that oh-so-satisfying croooonnnnchhh of perfectly chewable ice in your drinks without having to drive 23 miles to the one fast food chain you know is going to recreate that magic for you (*cries in Sonic*).

    Reviewers also love these for making smoothies easier to blend and for freezing tiny portions of things like minced garlic or lemon juice!

    Promising review: "Best little ice cubes ever. They pop out of the tray really easily...especially after setting them out for a quick couple of minutes on the counter. Tipping the tray 30 degrees to level the water before putting in the freezer is a great tip from another review. The cubes are the perfect size to scoop into my homemade iced mochas." —Heather

    20. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which tackles so many darn things that it'll be the BFF of every room in your house. Need to paint over a stain on the wall?

    21. A sturdy, durable, and chic-as-heck all-weather lace-up boot made with water-resistant leather designed to withstand both the test of weather and time. Pfft, and the rain thought it could cramp your style.

Plus, the array of colors mean you can match at least one of them to any given book's cover (extremely necessary to optimize the reading experience).

    29. Plus a rechargeable, flameless electric lighter for everything from lighting your beloved three-wick candles to your gas burners — this is a much safer option than matches, and way more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than getting long-stemmed gas lighters.

    It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I first bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this is SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! It worked like a charm on their stove, which needs to be lit by hand. I bought one for myself and have used it for all my candles now for over a year now. I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it. Read my full review of the Leejie electric lighter for more deets! 

    Promising review: "Great product. It lights consistently and quickly, reaching into my deeper candles with ease (and without my having to get my hands all sooty from the sides of the candle when using a match). Just bought another one for a gift for a friend." —scalene

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors).

    32. A bathtub caddy that will turn your boring bathroom into a veritable spa. Pinot? Poured. Candle? Lit. Netflix? Queued. Now all you have to do is calmly explain to your loved ones that you live in a tub now.

    34. A gorgeously designed Hatch Restore sound machine – it works overtime as a touch-controlled smart light, bedtime reading light, sunrise alarm clock, and even a wind down light that helps you get into a healthier sleep routine at night. Other bedside lamps could truly never.
