    46 Products That'll Have You Saying "Wait, This Is Actually So Useful"

    You'll spend the rest of the day wondering why you didn't already own these things, trust me.

    1. Biodegradable, all-natural bottle-cleaning tablets because is there anything more annoying than trying to clean your water bottle or coffee tumbler every time you use it?

    2. A magnetic motion-activated light that will light up any room in the house that needs it, but we all know that you're definitely going to put them on your stairs to protect you from the downstairs monster.

    3. A jewelry cleaning brush because you'd be surprised at how dingy your jewelry actually is. It's time to let your ring 🎵 shine bright like a (literal) diamond 🎵.

    4. A pack of natural green tea oil-blotting sheets to help remove any excess oil on the skin for that matte look you love so much. Keep these bad boys in your bag to whip out and dab over your face at a moment's notice, keeping your makeup fresh all day.

    5. Ridiculously effective sticky traps for snatching those pesky gnats and fruit flies that are regularly terrorizing your plants *and* life.

    6. A ChomChom roller to gather up pet hair quickly from any surface to prevent your house from becoming a giant dust bunny. You can use it on couches, clothes, bedding, cat towers, rugs — you name it. The best part? It has a little compartment that stores the fur for easy cleaning!

    7. Or a pair of grooming gloves because aren't we tired of our pets releasing their pesky little furs all over the place every time they turn their heads? I use this every single day on our cats and it's helped minimize the amount of fur my vacuum has to suck up.

    8. A shower phone mount so you can continue listening to your podcast, catching up on YouTuber drama, or finishing up that last episode of The Handmaid's Tale while getting yourself clean. What a time to be alive!

    9. Dog goggles (DOGGLES?!) to protect their eyes from the sun, wind, and debris when they're going for a ride in the car and absolutely insist on sticking their heads out the window.

    10. A desktop vacuum cleaner because we spend at least eight hours at our desk working (and snacking), which means crumbs happen. This mini vacuum will suck up all the crud, keeping the work station clean and ready to be used. Long story short, yes, you can go back to eating your Nature Valley bars with confidence.

    11. A surprisingly effective essential oil stick infused with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender to ease those pesky migraine and tension headaches you get during the workday or because your cat won't stop meowing for treats. Oh, just me?

    12. A couch tray perfect for small spaces where having a normal-sized coffee table would basically take up the entire living room. It fits on most, if not all, couch arms and provides plenty of surface area for snacks and drinks.

    13. A nail grinder kit that'll trim your pup's nails without the worry of cutting them too short which could result in bleeding and future anxiety about nail trims. The grinder will safely grind their nails down to the desired length *and* is wireless for easy maneuvering around the puppo.

    16. A spaghetti measure so you don't have to try and figure out how much an *actual* serving size is for your pasta dinner. Honestly, I'll probably still cook the whole box because I don't understand spaghetti.

    17. A wireless laundry sensor that will intelligently inform you (via app) that your laundry is dry, sometimes even before the dryer is actually done by sensing the temperature while it's running.

    18. A steering wheel tray so when someone catches you eating fast food in the parking lot of Taco Bell like a weird food goblin (me the other day), you'll at least look like you planned it.

    19. Anti-slip hooks that will finally keep your glasses from slipping off your face for the 24628th time today. Sincerely, me and my oily nose.

    21. A posture corrector designed to help put your back in the proper alignment, relieving pain and helping you gain stability in your spine. With time and practice, it develops your back's muscle memory. Soon, you'll be standing tall without it! Huzzah! Bonus: It's discreet enough to wear under your shirt.

    22. A trash can that hooks to the gearshift so you don't have to take too much time picking up all the clutter you drop around the passenger seat floor — it'll all be in the bag!

    25. A bidet attachment because who has time to be wiping their bums repeatedly to make sure it's squeaky clean when you can just splash water and go about your day? I bought this bidet a year ago and I will never go back to just toilet paper again!

    26. A touchless vacuum so you don't have to bend down anymore with a dustpan to pick up the pile of dirt you've created. Just sweep all the dust toward the vacuum and it'll suck it right up for super-fast and ~breezy~ cleaning!

    27. A WFH sign you can put on your home office door to keep any house members out of your hair for the most productive day you've had in a long time. It's cute, it's cheeky, and, most importantly, it's effective. Visitors can *always* bring me snacks.

    30. Noise-reducing earplugs that'll block background noise juuust enough so you can concentrate on work without that eerie "sound" you get from noise-cancelling headphones. You know the one. This is also perfect if you're sensitive to sounds!

    31. An air mattress, because is there anything more uncomfortable than trying to sleep in the front seats during a road trip? Okay maybe like two other things, but this is on the top of *my* list!

    33. Reusable silicone straws for guzzling down your favorite iced coffee with *sustainability* in mind. You know what makes these really cool though? Snap closures! This means you can open the straws in half to ensure you got all the gunk out! Just give 'em a good wipe down. No more "cleaning" brushes required.

    34. A PhoneSoap sanitizer because after the last year, we have definitely become very aware of germs and our phone is one of the biggest culprits. Flashback to me cooking and touching my phone screen with my grubby fingers to see the recipe. Ugh.

    35. A sectioned cereal bowl for anyone who absolutely cannot stomach soggy cereal (guilty) and just wants every bite to be crispy and delicious.

    36. A makeup-erasing cloth so you can spend less time scrubbing your face off (thus irritating your poor skin) and more time applying your favorite night cream.

    37. A fidget ring you can play around with during times when you're feeling anxious or nervous. It's inconspicuous *and* you don't have to get more anxious worrying that it's distracting people around you.

    38. Dry-erase sticky notes, because I can't be the only one who has had 900 post-it notes everywhere with dated notes on them. In comes the reusable wet-erase stickers! When you're done, just wipe them clean! They also stick to basically *any* surface. I have these. Can confirm.

    39. A mini Crock-Pot that will keep your lunch warm all day long, because it's time to start practicing self love and stop microwaving food in that questionably dirty office microwave. Seriously, has anyone ever cleaned it?

    40. Chair socks to not only protect your beautiful wood floors from getting scratched, but also make them look so dang cute.

    41. Ceiling fan chain pulls that'll not only make turning the fan on and off less of an annoyance, but also look so dang cute! I can't tell you how many times I have pulled the chain swearing it's the fan and *spoiler alert* it never is.

    43. A USB-C multiport adapter because having a laptop is convenient until you need some extra ports for work that it doesn't come with. Just plug it into your laptop's USB-C port and you'll have so much more room for activities!

    44. A toilet night-light so your treacherous journey to the bathroom past the noisy toys in the hall can be lit without causing a ruckus among the cave dwellers. AKA your kids.

    45. A coffee cup holder because honestly I just can't be bothered anymore holding my coffee cup, phone, and keys, while trying to get to work. Plus, it has a cute little spot to put your reusable straw!

    46. And finally, a laptop fan so you don't have to watch your laptop overheat from all of those BuzzFeed shopping posts you have open while simultaneously trying to listen to music and use Slack. Not me. Not I.

    You, realizing how useful these products will actually be to your life:
