    48 Practical Things To Buy That'll Help You Feel More Like A Grown-Up

    See, Mom? I'm Tom Hanks in Sleepless In Seattle, not Tom Hanks in Big.

    1. A rechargeable lighter, so you can light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambiance without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid.

    2. A colorful planner to help keep your many, many social plans in check or, uh, just to remind you to call your mom on Wednesday.

    3. An external battery charger that'll save you when you inevitably leave the house before charging your phone...again.

    4. An AirFly wireless transmitter you can use to connect your Airpods to the tiny airplane TV so you'll never have a last-minute freak out about having to buy cheap wired headphones from your seat.

    5. Cable clips to attach to your many charging wires to finally form a manageable system that won't have you fumbling to untangle cords every time you want to charge your phone.

    6. A Kindle Paperwhite — a must-have for any bookworm who prefers to kill time by reading rather than scrolling through nonsense on Instagram.

    7. A sound machine/night light for anyone who is desperate for some decent sleep sometime this decade.

    8. A Billie razor subscription can make sure you never find yourself without a razor on the ONE occasion you actually want to wear a sexy dress and show off silky smooth legs.

    9. Or a Panasonic Cordless Shaver and Epilator that comes with seven attachments (including a foot scrubber and body cleansing brush!) that'll ensure you're silky and smooth at all times.

    10. A splurge-worthy Dyson vacuum to help you attempt to tackle the never-ending influx of hair, fuzz, and dust that threatens to take over every crevice of your home.

    11. A FOREO LUNA mini 2 facial cleansing brush for every skin type — an excellent treat for anyone who is always on the hunt for the next addition to their skincare routine (ahem, YOU).

    12. A set of satin pillowcases to make you feel like you're living a life of luxury while also improving breakage, tangles, and frizz in your hair.

    13. A new set of non-stick pots and pans, free of toxic metals so you can keep on cooking without fear of ingesting anything you shouldn't be.

    14. A set of socks to keep your toes toasty all winter long. What's more practical than socks?

    15. A handheld knife sharpener you can use to bring your most-used kitchen utensils back to life in a flash without destroying your countertop or cutting boards.

    16. A pack of colorful silicone straws you can share with your fellow environmentally conscious colleagues who accompany you on iced coffee runs.

    17. A Makeup Eraser cloth you'll wonder how you lived this long without after seeing how it magically takes ALL of your makeup off with just a few swipes.

    18. An ice roller, which is said to help decrease under-eye puffiness, minimize fine lines, and shrink the look of pores — as well as to relieve headaches and sore muscles.

    19. A double extension cord so you can run an endless amount of power throughout your home without trying to track down another outlet.

    20. A 12-inch foam roller you'll surprisingly get a lot of use of even if you aren't a gym rat. It's perfect for loosening the muscles in your back/legs after sitting at a desk all day (or stress-induced tension).

    21. Cut resistant gloves — a must-have for any "chef" who isn't super confident in their knife skills and would like to keep all of their digits.

    22. Beekeeper's Naturals Propolis Throat Spray to boost up your immune system and *hopefully* protect you from getting endless colds this winter.

    23. Velvet hangers that'll transform your closet from one that says "hot mess" to "oh yes." Do you hear that? It's the cast of Queer Eye applauding you.

    24. A car seat gap filler, so you'll never have to fret about dropping your phone or a rogue French fry into a seemingly endless abyss never to be found again.

    25. Ryka training shoes you'll probably want to wear all day rather than just to the gym — they're that comfortable and cute.

    26. A collapsible Stojo cup you can use to bring your fave hot beverage on errands then simply squish it down and pop it into your bag without a worry it won't be able to fit.

    27. A Grip Strip made of a non-toxic and hypoallergenic material you'll want to tell everyone about — no more watching your phone fly through the air with each sharp turn you make.

    28. A detangling Wet Brush featuring bristles that'll glide through knots with ease, so you won't have to start your day off with a self-inflicted headache.

    29. A cleaning pen to help keep that priceless ring your grandma handed down to you sparkling the same way it was the day she received it decades ago.

    30. A personalized docking station with a place for your phone, wallet, keys, and more to help keep track of your most important items at all times.

    31. An oversized Madewell tote you will absolutely love because it isn't "over-the-top" and will have room for ALL of your random necessities — yes, even that spare packet of tissues and a Bed Bath and Beyond coupon from 2009.

    32. An apron with built-in oven mitts and a sewn-in conversion chart that'll protect your clothes while you whip up your prized chocolate chip cookies.

    33. A handheld dog shower attachment you can use to clean up the family dog without getting completely soaked and flooding the bathroom.

    34. A towel from Havly that'll get softer each time you wash it. Adults have clean towels at-the-ready, it's about time you got on board.

    35. A pack of oven liners to protect the bottom of your oven from any overflow/oozing and let you continue on pretending you're competing on The Great British Baking Show worry-free.

    36. And oven mitts you'll love ~beary~ much — especially because they're actually heat-resistant.

    37. A 64-piece IFixit kit for when your most-used gadget gives out and you'd rather try to repair it yourself than buy a new one.

    38. A brown sugar bear that is as cute as it is functional and'll keep your sugar from getting hard as a rock over time. When the mood strikes to bake something delicious you won't have to head out to the store for an extra ingredient.

    39. Affordable wireless earbuds you can pop in when you need some quiet in the office or want to discreetly blast Cardi B during your workout sesh.

    40. An electric toothbrush with a subscription-based brush head refill, so you'll never have to remember to buy another toothbrush or brush head again. Now THAT is something to smile about.

    41. Love Beauty and Planet's Delightful Detox collection which includes shampoo, conditioner, and a scrub that'll leave your scalp feeling fresher than ever — and prove to yourself that you CAN be a responsible human who washes their hair on the reg.

    42. A memory foam seat cushion to ensure you're comfortable and supported from top to bottom — literally.

    43. An ever-popular Instant Pot with so many uses you'll need to take a deep breath before deciding what to make with it first.

    44. A shower curtain complete with pockets you can use to upgrade your bathroom's storage space without doing something wild like installing a new vanity or cabinets.

    45. Luxurious sheets that'll make you feel like you're staying in a five-star hotel every night instead of your own home.

    46. A rapid egg cooker that'll make your breakfast faster than you can say, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?".

    47. A blanket complete with fringe detailing you can use to cover up the wine stain you somehow managed to get on your couch during Bachelor Monday. All anyone will want to know is where you found such a fabulous throw.

    48. And a PhoneSoap UV sanitizer you can toss your phone into for a quick 10 minutes after you get home to get rid of the grime that's surely found its way onto your screen.

    ....and with just *one click* you're on your way to being an practical, rational adult!
