    Sorry, these "million dollar ideas" are taken.

    1. An extra-large weekly pill organizer featuring a push-through design for anyone with dexterity issues or arthritis. Each day can be split into morning and night, and you can even detach each day's pod from the larger organizer. It's simply genius.

    2. A blind cleaner brush because those lil' plastic things can get suuuuper D-U-S-T-Y! The three stacked little "fingers" allow you to clean the top and bottom of two vanes at once for maximum efficiency.

    3. A no-brainer squeegee tool to make cleaning up greasy pans and other messes a *breeze*.

    4. A three-pack of SCENTED silicone scrubbing sponges that not only smell delightful, but will last weeks on end without getting nasty (unlike your other dishwashing tools). These happen to smell like 🍑.

    6. A handy clothes folding board so you can neatly tidy up your dresser drawers and take proper care of your clothing, folding each piece in your wardrobe to a uniform size — all in under five seconds. Your retail job in college could neverrrrr.

    7. A veggie chopper that does exactly what you'd expect it to: chops your veggies like a pro, with just the pull of a string. Wave goodbye to onion tears and accidentally cutting yourself. 😎

    8. An expandable colander designed to rest perfectly across your sink, so you no longer have to balance holding the colander while trying to properly rinse your fruit, veggies, pasta, etc. like some kind of circus.
