1. A rechargeable Shark cordless hard floor vacuum/mop that'll suck up dirt while spraying your floors clean all with one disposable pad. It even has headlights so you can make sure you've cleaned every single speck of dirt.
2. A nonslip, waterproof, washable indoor/outdoor mat with a geometric design only slightly reminiscent of the carpet from the Overlook Hotel in The Shining.
3. A Duvaid duvet cover changing accessory that will make one of your least favorite chores (making the bed) into, well still a chore, but a much, much easier one every single time.
4. A roll of silver 3M multi-use duct tape to make sure broken things stay stuck together until you can properly repair them (even though you probably won't).
5. A Brita Ultra Max filtering dispenser that'll hold 18 cups of tap water (It's free you know? Why would you PAY for water?) at a time. All you have to do is remember to fill it up and replace that filter every 40 gallons or every two months.
6. A 16-piece set of furniture sliders for carpeted and hard floor surfaces to cut down on as much heavy lifting as possible. Why carry a couch when you can glide it instead?
7. An Anker "PowerPort Cube" USB power strip, which works just as well a home as it does when traveling. Parents will love the overload protection and a fire-retardant casing ensure. You'll love being able to use every plug and not worry about any chargers that won't fit.
8. A brushed stainless-steel Simplehuman dual-compartment step trash can with a stay-open/silent-close lid that'll divide your basic garbage from the recycling. And yes that price tag is something but it comes with a 10-year warranty.
9. A four-piece set of oven-, freezer-, microwave- and dishwasher-safe silicone trivet mats (two circles, two squares) to keep tables and counter tops safe from heat damage. Also helps with opening stuck jars.
10. A four-pack of 100% Turkish linen bath towels, because you really should switch your towels at least once a week. And what if you have company?
11. A pack of 30 multi-colored, PVC-coated, steel-wire utility clips for keeping chips crispy, cereal crunchy, and anything else you can attach them to closed up tight.
12. An auto-open/close, Repel windproof travel umbrella with Teflon coating that's you'll never want to lose if only not to hear the voice of your mother saying something like, "You went out in the rain without an umbrella? You could die you know?"
13. A bottle of Goo Gone adhesive remover for easily removing stickers, wax, markers, crayons, glue, tar, window decals, glitter, gum, labels without leaving any sticky or fuzzy residue.
14. A Leatherman multi-tool, which is actually 14 tools in one (including a knife, pliers, screwdriver, wire cutter, wire stripper, scissors, package opener, bottle and can opener, a file, a ruler, and more). There's no need for an entire toolbox when this guy can easily fit in your pocket.
15. A Blueair Blue Pure 411+ air purifier with six washable, pre-filter color options ("Dark Shadow" included), because even though the silent filtration system makes less noise, you still want it to look loud.
16. A Wi-Fi-connected smart plug for scheduling lights (because burglars, right Dad? and appliances to turn on automatically or turning them off remotely in case you kept them running. Team the plug with Alexa for added voice control and setting routines and schedules.
17. A two-pack of compact, collapsible, lightweight LED lanterns to keep illuminated in your darkest hours (up to 30 of them, in fact). The top of the lantern even offers storage for keys or spare batteries.
18. A Brother P-Touch label maker with multiple fonts and 27 templates, to organize random boxes so they aren't random anymore and save you time digging through them for whatever it is you're looking for.
19. A roll of heavy-duty, eco-friendly, machine-washable, reusable bamboo towels, because you really have no idea how many paper towels you use and waste, do you?
20. A queen-size inflatable bed with an internal electric pump for fast inflation (under five minutes) and deflation for when your parents don't want to spring for the Airbnb. The soft velvety top is no excuse for not having a spare set of sheets for guests, though.
21. A 16-pack of Command small wire hooks for hanging just about anything that weighs half-a-pound around your home without damaging your walls (or your security deposit).
22. A pun-tastic microfiber-blended kitchen towel so you can have a laugh remembering to always eat your veggies. Also does what a towel does.
23. A two-pack of WD-40 EZ Reach Spray, because it can do just about anything, from loosening rusty screws to quieting squeaky doors and drawers.
24. An over-the-sink, roll-up dish drying rack that makes the most of kitchen dead space and can be easily stored once everything is clean.
25. A three-tier, rolling metal storage organizer for the kitchen, bathroom, linen closet, or wherever you need to declutter and don't really have the proper space to do it.
26. A machine-washable and dryable non-slip, absorbent, memory foam bath mat so you won't slip and break your neck when you get out of the shower (which is also most definitely something your parents would say).
27. A stainless-steel Black + Decker four-slice toaster oven, because breakfast is the most important meal of the day and you should at least be able to make some toast by this point in your life.
As you mull over any potential purchase and your cursor lingers over the add-to-cart button, just imagine the sound of one of your parents saying...
