    48 Super Simple Things I’d Bet You’ll Be Glad You Have At Home

    Get your hands on these satin pillowcases and blackout curtains, and you'll be wondering how you ever lived without them.

    1. Small cable clip organizers for when your phone charger cord insists on trying to trip you every time you walk from your desk to the bathroom (or to go get another lil' snack). This'll keep your cords organized and out of your way.

    Promising review: "The perfect solution for the wire clutter on my home office desk. I have quite a bit of computer peripherals and other electronics and heretofore, I had no effective wire and cable management system...that is, until I discovered these little beauties. Did not have high expectations because of disappointments with similar products in the past. I was pleasantly surprised at the difference these made in my home office. All my wires are neatly organized and tucked away out of sight. No more mess. It now looks organized and more productive." —Big E

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $6.97.

    2. A set of insulated blackout curtains that help block out the three things that threaten your beauty sleep: heat, light, and noise. One reviewer even said it was the best sleep they'd gotten in a long time!

    Plus, these are machine-washable and come in so many colors that you don't have to sacrifice your home decor style for function!

    Promising review: "I live in an apartment complex full of little goblins people call children. They like to run up and down the sidewalk for no discernible reason yelling at the top of their lungs while their parents watch on in mild amusement drinking wine on their patio. Lovely family time, I guess. So, naturally, I put these on every window I could. And now my evenings are much quieter, without sacrificing the look of my apartment. They’re easy to pull back during the day when the goblins are away and easy to cover when they emerge in the evenings. So I can just cover my windows and put on a movie and it’s like they’re not even there! These block out a lot of light and sound from the neighborhood and match my decor nicely. I put sheer white curtains over these to create a softer look in the bedroom and it’s gorgeous! Saves my sanity and creates a nice atmosphere." —jessie & sky

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.18+ (available in 22 sizes and 43 colors).

    3. And a door draft stopper because that tiny space under the door can feel *much* bigger when those chilly gusts of wind keep sneaking in. 🥶 This is an effective — and subtle! — way of keeping the warm in and the cold out.

    Promising review: "So easy to set up! All you do is peel tape and adhere to a CLEAN and DRY door. Also looks great, I don't even notice it. I had a huge gap under my door. I could smell and hear everything from the hallway. Smells, drafts, and sound all are less of an issue now." —Brit Suavé

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).

    4. A memory-foam cushion for your desk chair because you haven't properly experienced sitting until you've sat on this baby. It's given many WFH workers' lower backs some much-needed pressure relief. It's no wonder it has over 86,000 5-star ratings!

    Read more about how ergonomic chair cushions can help at Cleveland Clinic.

    Promising review: "I fell on black ice many years ago, and my tailbone, elbows and dignity all took the impact. I’ve had recurring pain in my tailbone ever since then, when I sit for long periods and can’t move my legs much; such as long trips by car or plane. I’ve tried different seat cushions over the years that helped a little; but this one is the best I’ve found. Ahhh — relief finally!! I may order another, so I don’t have to move this one from the house to the car. We also attend a lot of college basketball games and I’m looking forward to this season to start so I can see if the seat works well in those 'no-knee room' seats too!" —CC

    Get it from Amazon for $39.49+ (available in six colors).

    5. A jar of magical cleaning paste The Pink Stuff, which is bound to earn its own labeled space in your bathroom cabinet. Seriously. The way it effortlessly removes stains, grease, and grime and leaves just about any surface shiny and scratch-free should be considered witchcraft.

    Promising review: "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stovetop and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in various sets and sizes).

    6. Slow-cooker liners if the only thing stopping you from making that delicious chili is the cleanup afterwards. 🫠 With these babies, your cleanup time is reduced to seconds!

    Amazon

    "I adore my slow cooker but hate cleaning up after using it. So I use these handy lil' bags. Read my full review of Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners (#4)." —Elizabeth

    Promising review: "I am so happy I decided to purchase these crockpot liners. I love cooking with my slow cooker! Do I love cleaning it afterwards? NO! This is such a simple step to take when cooking. Using this product saves you so much time from not having to clean out the crockpot after. You simply lift out the liner and throw it away when you are done. No fuss no muss! It is so nice to finish your day with a slow-cooked meal and not have to worry about scrubbing it clean. Highly recommend!" —Thomas Casey

    Get box of six liners from Amazon for $2.78+ (available in six sizes).

    7. A minimalist tissue box cover to make your home just a little more home-y (literally). And the fact that the tissues come out of the lil' chimney? So cute.

    Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed

    "That is my nightstand. I love this thing! Plus I've been known to hide a tissue box because, let's be honest, they're all ugly. I've been on the receiving end of some snotty payback as a result. No more! Also I know it's a very small thing but it makes me very happy. Plus! Since I first wrote about owning this, I've bought one for my bedroom at parents' house in gray." —Elizabeth

    Promising review: "Since I am a broke 31-year-old this was the only house I can afford. Plus it helps hide the tissues I use to cry in every night." —Lizbanta

    Get it from Amazon for $9.20.

    8. A set of stove burner covers if you want to shorten your cleanup time and protect your stove top from the splishes and splashes while you cook dinner. Or if you just want to trick people into thinking you've somehow managed to maintain a flawless-looking stove top. Don't worry, you're secret is safe with us.

    Psst, as you can see above, this set also comes with a crumb catcher where your stove top meets your countertop!

    Promising review: "I've been using the foil ones and while they do the job, they're not so nice to look at. I like that this is black so it matches the original color of the appliances, but more importantly I like that this has a larger surface area to catch the drips that the foil ones never could before. They're also trim to fit, so they get right up into each burner without leaving gaps where drips can burn where it's hardest to clean. Time will tell if they're as durable/reusable as they claim. If they are, then I'll try to trim two of the spares to fit the center large burner. Overall recommended." —Michael

    Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

    9. A nine-pack of reliable nonscratch sponges — the most stubborn messes on your nonstick pans have met their match!

    Promising reviews: "This is pretty much all I use with dishes. I find that this sponge is usually the perfect gentleness/roughness for washing dishes by hand. It's always an exciting day when I can pull out a new sponge from the Scotch-Brite sponge bag and throw away the old one. It would be nice to have a dishwasher, but these sponges are less expensive and more fun!" —MAW

    Get it from Amazon for $8.82 (available in three pack sizes).

    10. An over-the-door cabinet organizer so your curling iron can no longer play a game of hide-and-seek with you on those days when you're actually trying to look presentable. This'll have you locating it in a snap!

    Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before all my items were in a drawer and the cords were a pain, but with this metal basket it minimized clutter, keeps things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow-dryers, a flat iron, and curling wand. The bars are adjustable, as well (just use the twisties it came with to secure them in place). Worth the buy!" —Alyssa Jewell

    Get it from Amazon for $16.79+ (available in six finishes).

    11. A broom and mop organizer if your storage space is smaller than Harry's cupboard under the stairs. This'll help you keep each of your partners in grime organized and within easy reach.

    close up of the row of hooks and hangers
    small kitchen pantry with a row of hooks and brooms and mops hanging up on it and out of the way

    Promising review: "Hard to get a good picture in my very small pantry area, but this hanger works great for keeping my cleaning tools at hand yet off the floor. Mounting template worked great and it came with a couple of bags of screws and anchors so I had the right ones for my wall. I would buy this again." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in four colors).

    12. Or a pair of broom holders, which make *such* a difference for tiny storage spaces! All you gotta do is mount them onto the wall with the included adhesive strips — no holes, marks, or sticky residue necessary!

    two hooks for broom handles
    Amazon

    "I've been in my apartment for years and had all but resigned to having extremely disorganized cleaning supplies...that is 'til a whole bunch of them tumbled in an avalanche on top of me one day when I opened the closet. There's something about a broom handle smacking you square in the nose to serve as a wakeup call. I easily mounted both of these to a closet wall, where they now hold my broom and Swiffer. They do a good job *keeping* the grip on the handles when I inevitably bump into them. The cleaning tools may sway a little bit when bumped, but just a teensy bit. I cannot believe I waited so long to make the (v small) investment in these, but I'm glad that I finally did." —Elizabeth

    Get it from Amazon for $8.78 (also available as a set of two).

    13. Odor-blocking trash bags for those of us who dabble in the art of being lazy and will do anything in our power to prolong taking out the trash. These will keep your kitchen smelling fresh for an extra day or two.

    "I've used these before and they def do a better job at odor-blocking than regular trash bags!" —Elizabeth

    Promising review: "These trash liners are expandable and they don’t puncture easily and they are definitely not see-through so I approve 100%! These fit my 13-gallon trash can in my kitchen and you can over stuffed these babies! They do not rupture or puncture!" —Laurie

    Promising review: "I can't believe how well Old English works! I recently purchased a home where a dog previously lived and had horribly scratched the woodwork. I thought I may have to sand and refinish the woodwork around two doors. Old English saved me a lot of work! " —Behold Behold!

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available for light woods).

    15. And wood repair markers that'll conceal the smaller scratches that somehow still manage to stare you right in the face. Hey, better than breaking the bank for entirely new furniture.

    the markers

    Promising review: "I can’t believe how well these work! Much better than I was expecting. I just had my home interior painted and the painters damaged a fiberboard medicine cabinet when they removed the masking tape. It ripped off the fake wood veneer. These markers completely filled in the ugly spots and the colors blended well. I love that it appears to have some clear coat in it too as it dries with a slight shine that makes it look more like wood stain rather than marker. I also used them to stain wood filler in two spots in my maple kitchen cabinets where a previous home owner had hung a paper towel holder and I really struggle to see the hole! It looks fantastic. I highly recommend this set. It’s a good value and works very well." —Shane

    16. A laundry-detergent drip catcher because with detergent prices nowadays, every little drop counts! Plus, anything that lets me stay home a while longer instead of taking a trip to the store to buy more is what I call a win.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Holy cow! Why didn't I think to make this!? This thing is probably the most helpful thing I own! I despise how liquid detergent is in these huge tubs with a spigot. It has to lay on its side and it ALWAYS drips down on to whatever is underneath. It's so frustrating! However, this fixes that problem! It easily just slides on the tub and holds firm. I use it on the All tub, but I would imagine it would work with any standard size tub. I keep the cup sitting on the little shelf and it catches any drips. So no waste!" —Rachel L. White

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98.

    17. Pimple patches to evict those pesky pimples that have no business invading your face. These are coated with hydrocolloid to protect and heal the blemish more effectively — you officially have no excuses for popping those pimples anymore!

    "I've used these and can confirm that they WORK. I had a lot of acne before taking Accutane at age 15, and if these were around back then during ancient times I would've bought them by the truckload!" —Elizabeth

    Promising review: "Omg, where has this been my whole life? Why did nobody talk about hydrocolloid patches when I was a teen? These truly do shrink your pimples (as long as it is an open or popped one). I just put one on before bed and by morning, voilà! All that's left is a small bump, if anything at all. I seriously couldn't believe my eyes. (All those years of suffering from acne! I'm in my 30s now with hormonal acne, btw.) These are magic!" —Julie W.

    18. A luxe-looking mousepad with a sleek and refined metal finish that will make it your second favorite item on your desk (the first being your coffee cup, of course). Reviewers rave about how smoothly their mouse glides over it, and how easy it is to clean!

    Promising review: "Yea as another review before me stated i will never go back to traditional mousepads that get dirty, roll up and bend and are hard to clean. THIS THING IS AMAZING OUT THE BOX! Blows all other mousepads I have ever used out of the water easily. It is sleek and refined looking, the mouse glides ever so smoothly and from the appearance hard to get dirty and very easy to clean. If you are pondering purchasing this mousepad DONT! Just do it you wont regret it it is AMAZING! I rarely leave reviews for anything but when I get such an amazing product I gotta let everybody know its a thumbs up and this is two thumbs-up. Very happy with my purchase." —Mahno

    19. An eye compression mask designed by an orthopedic surgeon to help relieve migraines, tension headaches, sinus pain, and eye strain. So even if your S.O. insists on keeping their reading light on, this super soft mask will have you drifting off into Dreamland.

    Promising review: "The material of this product is very soft. The beads inside add the right amount of pressure on my eyes in order to feel comfort and relief after a hard day of work. It forms itself to my face, providing excellent coverage and comfort. This is a very well-done sleep mask that I would recommend with my eyes closed (no pun intended). But, in all seriousness, this masks helps me sleep better, and I am very satisfied with my results. This is my second purchase." —Amazon Customer

    20. A set of satin pillowcases that'll give your bed a hint of ~luxury~. Not only does it look pretty; reviewers say its soft fabric helps clear acne-prone skin and creates less friction on their hair to avoid breakage (which is especially ideal as we brave the cold, dry weather)!

    Promising review: "I have been using these for over year now and I absolutely love them. I only use four in my dryer and they have reduced the time it takes to dry clothes. I did not add a scent to the balls so I sometimes throw a dryer sheet in with the balls. They make a soft thud sound while drying. I have given them as gifts to all of my sisters-in-law and they love them." —P. King

    Promising review: "With the work that I do I need support. My job is very physically demanding. When I get messages, my therapist uses this pillow. This is why I purchased one for me at home. WOW! I love this. When I put the half moon pillow under my knees I can literally feel my lower back relaxing. I keeps its shape very well. I highly recommend this pillow." —Renee Vincent

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three sizes).

    23. A wooden lap desk — perfect for a cute lil' breakfast in bed moment, or for working on your laptop from the comfort of your pillows (because that is truly the best workspace to ever exist).

    Promising review: "Good quality. Feels sturdy. It’s more adjustable than I thought, so that’s nice. I use it as a little dinner table more than anything else, but it’s a great little table. I would definitely get another if I needed two, but I don’t think I’ll have to replace this anytime soon. Very happy." —Diana C.

    24. Suspenders for your sheets because having to tuck all four corners of your fitted sheet back into your mattress by yourself is truly a humbling experience. These bands act like suspenders for your mattress so that your fitted sheet finally stops popping off in the middle of the night.

    Promising review: "Had a large amount of brown sugar and couldn't keep it soft, even in a tight container. I purchased new 5-quart jars for my flour, sugar, and so forth, and quickly realized my brown sugar was a ROCK! I purchased this, soaked it, and placed it in the sugar as instructed. Within hours it was soft again! I have about 2 lbs. of sugar in the 5-quart jar currently. The jar is sealed with a gasket but I haven't had to re-soak the bear yet (only a month in use currently). Would recommend to anyone at this point, just mad I have wasted so much brown sugar over the years. I have not used it for any of the other uses, like cookies or bread, but will probably purchase more in the future since this little bear is dedicated to my brown sugar." —diosa

    27. A Squatty Potty — you won't know how much you actually need it until you try it. It props your feet up for the optimal colon-opening position so that your post-coffee trips to the toilet can be quicker and less painful. The things we look forward to as adults now...am I right?

    Promising review: "I've struggled with the #2 for the last couple of years. I've gone from Defecating Toxic Avenger to 'Dear GOD! I feel like I'm passing the Twin King Guardian Statues.' It's been a sphincter nightmare. No matter what I tried: prunes, more water, high fiber, Taco Bell, even White Castle — nothing was working. Usually, in a three-week interval, I'd get very sick and spend three to four hours going to the bathroom nine or ten times. After my sphincter would be tender and I'm damn near positive if this had gone on, it would be the end of me. Then I saw this. Decided to go ahead and plunk down the $25. By day two of using it I started to feel better and my cramps were gone. I swear to god, when I go on my next road trip, I'm taking the damn thing with me, and IDGAF if my friends laugh at me. This damn thing may have saved my health and possibly my life." —DJ_Malsidious

    Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use, but once I got my hands out it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create. Also, we ordered a beard oil recently and reached out to customer support about the different scents they offer, they were super helpful! Overall it has been an awesome experience and they’ve truly made me feel like a King!" —Timur

    Promising review: "Okay, so I am a sucker for innovations that I see on Shark Tank so bought this without giving it much thought. When it arrived I thought I had probably made a mistake, but turns out I use them all the time. I keep one in the microwave, which makes clean-up easier but also allows me to use it as a potholder. I keep the other in a drawer and use it as a trivet to protect my counters and table. Stores easily, has lots of uses, cleans in a flash. Pretty cool." —Kathy, Avid Reader

    30. A sharp bed skirt that'll pair seamlessly with your current bedding. But lets be real, you just want it to hide the plethora of shoes and random items underneath your bed. Honestly, same.

    "Even the minimalists should get on board with this. Just go for one with clean lines like this one! I went a few years without one and then was floored by the difference it made in hiding all the stuff I shove under my bed. And I store A LOT of stuff under my bed!" —Elizabeth

    Promising review: "I could not get it to fit right at first for some reason. Probably because I was having a bad week and wanted something to be angry about. When I was in a better state of mind I got it and laughed at how simple it was. Fits well and covers the mess I am hiding now that I went up to a king." —Dennis E. Marquardt

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and in 12 colors).

    31. Plus some adjustable bed risers to make the storage space under your bed even more convenient. These will get you an extra 3, 5, or 8 inches of space!

    Again, a dust ruffle will hide these bad boys if you're worried about optics. And they'll also work with couches or futons.

    Promising review: "These blow my mind. They've added so much storage under our bed. I worried about them being durable enough to withstand our weight but there was no need to worry. Just this past weekend, both my husband and I were on the bed when two of our teenage sons ran and jumped on the bed with us. I didn't even hear a creak from these bed risers. There must have been close to 800 lbs. on our bed at that point and these risers held up like champs." —Kelly McHone

    Here are some handy under-bed storage ideas.

    This cool mist model has a 1.5-liter tank that can put moisture into the air for up to 16 hours of continuous operation. FYI, this tank size is good coverage for bedrooms, offices, and other medium-sized rooms.

    Promising review: "I love that this humidifier looks very contemporary, not a 'medical' looking device at all. Very easy to fill and cool steam starts within a second of turning it on. There is no noise, at all. It has several settings and on low steam it will last about 24 hours. Also got the smaller one for our bedroom and it works great as well." —Pat

    Promising review: "Yes, this little utensil tray is really that good! I went from using 12 inches of horizontal space in a lovely but huge wooden utensil tray to about using about 4 inches (whatever the width of this godsend is). It stores my butter knives, steak knives, spoons, forks, and a slew of little teaspoons. I'd guess that the max capacity for each slot is about 10 pieces. For example, I fit four butter knives and four steak knives into the first/knife slot easily, with good wiggle room. This is such a great design. Using this tray opened up about half of my 18-inch wide drawer, which allowed me to decompress the other drawers in my kitchen a bit. I highly recommend this item. It's worth every penny." —Kathleen Cooke

    35. A bacon sponge "unpaper" towel to use instead of wasting enough paper towels to wallpaper your entire home. These are reusable and will help you get all that extra grease off!

    It's 12"x11", and made of polyester and organic cotton. It's super absorbent but easily cleaned by soaking the towel in hot water and a degreaser soap like Dawn. After soaking, it can be washed along with your family's towels. Green City Living is a Denver-based small business that specializes in easy-to-use items to help you go a bit greener.

    Promising review: "I don't fry foods often but when I do, I hate that I have to use so many paper towels to soak up the grease. These sponges are excellent for absorbing grease and they are easy to clean too! I followed the instructions to soak the oil-filled sponges in soapy water and then place them in the washer. The sponges came out clean and ready to use again. I also love that I can recycle the sponges when they are worn. Two sponges were sufficient to fry one package of bacon. Clever idea!" —Farrah

    37. A silicone sink strainer so that you no longer have to rush your dripping metal strainer from the sink to the trashcan only to stand there, awkwardly scraping all the little food particles out of it. With a soft silicone underside, this strainer will make getting rid of those food particles easy peasy.

    "I own this and have NO dishwasher, so I do a whole bunch of hand-washing at my sink. This does a fab job of catching all the food bits (including the ones I thought I'd already raked into the trash) so they won't go down the drain. And the silicone construction makes it easy to pop out and violently beat the metal part of the drainer against the side of my trash can to get out the food bits. Of course, I'm wearing dishwashing gloves when I'm doing this. But I still don't want to touch the old gross food! Even through the gloves. TL;DR: your sink could really use this." —Elizabeth

    38. A set of reusable coffee pods to make your plastic pod waste *poof* disappear. Just fill it with your go-to ground brew and toss in your K-Cup machine like normal!

    Promising review: "These reusable filter cups work PERFECTLY with our Keurig Elite B-40 model. Usually we use K-Cups, but we received a bag of ground coffee as a gift. We attempted to use our old reusable filter cup that we'd had for an old model Keurig, and it just created a mess and left tons of grounds in the cup. Amazon delivered these K&J cups in a day and they solved the problem. The bottom and sides are mesh, which was not true on my old reusable filter cup, and the little lid snaps shut snugly. They come four to a pack, but I don't see using the others until the one I'm using wears out. Very easy to clean also. So happy to find these!!!" —Jamie von Holstein

    39. A motion-activated toilet light for all those times you've sleepily walked from your bed to the bathroom only to be completely waken up as soon as you switch the light on. This'll let you know exactly where to park your tush without the need for any harsh fluorescent lighting.

    It fits on any toilet bowl, and has 16 colors, 5 brightness levels, and a 170 degree radius.

    Promising review: "I am 9 months pregnant and my sister is 8 months pregnant. So I decided for Christmas this would be the best stocking stuffer. I am so happy I bought this. I honestly wish I had gotten it sooner. Especially with how frequent getting up to use the restroom at night is when you are pregnant. This light is perfect because it allows you to get your business done and return to bed without really getting out out of sleep due to the light brightness in comparison to the actually restroom light!! Great buy! I have already had several family member request that I buy them one as well. 😉" —Olga

    Promising review: "I'm a big fan of Command products; I think they're brilliant. I know some folks have had bad luck with these ruining their walls, but I've only had good experiences. I use this big guy to store my step ladder in the pantry. They're simple to apply and even easier to remove. Shipping was super fast and the add-on price was sweet." —Oregonians

    Promising review: "I often have issues with grapes and apples going bad quickly. However, when I stumbled upon these, I decided to give them a try. I have stored them in the fridge for a month now, and I am impressed with how fresh they keep the produce. When I need to change them, I will repurchase them." —Holly F.

    Promising review: "I have found that I like using one of these little critters on the edge of my tea cup when I make hot tea. I just wrap the string attached to the teabag around the snail and it keeps everything from falling back into my tea to float around until I fish it back out. I like that each one has a different color and I keep them all handy to grab, as they fit really nice on the heavy wire of my dish rack with my other tea accessories when not in use. I gave some to my friend who is a tea lover as well and he likes them too. Thank You!" —KA7DRE

    45. A mountable cat-grooming brush that you can stick to a corner with the (included!) adhesive strips and watch as it becomes your beloved Fluffy's best friend. Hey, if they're so independent, they can take care of their own scratches.

    Promising review: "I got this for my three-legged cat because he can't scratch his left side. He'll be trying to scratch and all you see is his little nub going crazy. I found these and he immediately LOVED it! The expression on his face when he first tried it was priceless. The only downside is that it's possible it'll fall off because it was hard for me to get all pieces of tape to stick on a corner at the same time, but I can always buy more double-sided tape so not a big deal to me. The product is for Floyd, not me, and he's happy so 5 stars." —WeedWendy

    46. A powerful dish-washing spray, aka the true MVP when it comes to anything dishwashing-related. Just spray down that caked up casserole dish, let it sit, and wipe away that greasy mess with more ease than you thought possible. Forget the overnight soak — this bad boy's got your back.

    "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well."  —Elizabeth

    47. A password book, which you can fill out (in pencil!) so that you can finally keep all of your passwords — and all of their constant changes 🙄 — in order.

    Promising review: "When we have so many internet addresses and passwords to remember, it gets really hard — especially when you get older and have trouble remembering what silly password you gave something. And, we are supposed to change or update passwords from time to time, so this is a great tool to help us do that. It certainly makes more sense than scribbling on a random piece of paper on your desk and then misplacing it. The trick, however, is to not misplace the book! I HIGHLY recommend this!!" —Carole P

    Promising review: "I guarantee, I mean 100% guarantee, that when you buy these, you're going to find twenty more uses around your house than you ever thought of. Door that rattles with indoor pressure changes or wind? A couple of these in the doorframe will take care of that. That old metal fan vibrating on the wood floor - no problem with three of the bigger pads stuck to the base. That desk that keeps bumping into the wall? Problem solved. We got these for one simple phone stand who's original rubber feet kept falling off, and I think I've used 100 of these around the house. They are striking well, and they are super easy to get off the sheets. I feel like I want to just start putting these in people's birthday and other presents as a bonus, with a note that just says, 'trust me - you're going to appreciate these.'" —Cthulhu
