1. A John Frieda hot air brush that has allowed a multitude of people to skip the blowout bar forever and give themselves a killer style in the comfort of their own home.
I'd heard a TON of great things about the hot air brush but admittedly didn't fully believe it until I got one for myself. I was thrilled to have a dramatically short bob until I remembered just how hard they are to style. I'm nearly useless with a round brush and hairdryer. The hot air brush combines two unwieldy tools into one light, easy-to-manage one that's simple to use and greatly cuts down on my morning styling time. I recommend letting your hair air dry most of the way before finishing with this. Even a pass over dry hair helps get my bedhead into shape. Amazing. I have short hair and the 1" version is perfect.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $51.99+ (available in two sizes).
2. A wood polish and conditioner with beeswax and orange oil to hide dings and scratches and add some healthy natural luster to basically anything in your home that's made of wood.
3. An Amazon Fire Stick that makes it so easy to access all of your subscription services in one place. Love anything that somehow makes watching TV even easier.
Get it from Amazon Canada or $69.99.
4. Allbirds wool runners so you can keep your feet super comfortable while letting everyone know that you listen to SO many podcasts.
I know these have been hyped for a long time, but like....I really, really, really love my Allbirds. I've had them going on three years, have put a TON of miles on them, and they're somehow showing no signs of aging. They stay shockingly clean, are super light, and are of course mega comfortable, which is what skyrocketed them to fame in the first place. I used to love them especially for days when I was traveling, but I also love them for bopping around the neighborhood and even wearing around the house when my feet want some support.
These babies won best casual sneakers in the mid-priced category on BuzzFeed Reviews!
Get them from Allbirds for $135 for women's sizes (available in sizes 5–11 and 11 colours) and $135 for men's sizes (available in sizes 8–14 and 10 colours).
5. Mighty Patches because fighting breakouts can be as easy as popping on a sticker that sucks up all that gunk overnight. I will gladly trade jetpacks for a future where stickers can solve all my problems.
6. A jewellery cleaning pen, because this little tool is keeping SO MANY pieces of priceless jewelry shinier than ever and boy oh boy are there the review photos to prove it.
7. A Stila Stay All Day eyeliner pen to help you achieve the flawless cat eye you've been dreaming of for years. Great artists need great tools, and this...*wipes tear and Stila eyeliner stays sharp and intact*...is that tool.

Get it from Sephora Canada for $29 (available in eight colours).
8. A Nintendo Switch — arguably the most sought-after product of the year — so you can play your favourite games both docked on a TV screen or on the go.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $456.95.
9. A pair of blue light–blocking glasses to help prevent those working from home from getting daily afternoon headaches. This simple and popular lens add-on really does help reduce eyestrain, which can cause much discomfort, especially if it's day after day after day.
Get them from Warby Parker Canada: Get the glasses on the left starting at $150 (available in three colours), get the glasses on the right starting at $150 (available in two colours), and add blue light blocking to any lenses for $50.
10. A bottle of Garnier micellar water that is both a facial cleaner *and* makeup remover! Its gentle formula, effectiveness on most skin types, and low price point have earned it a lot of love. That's a lot of happy, streak-free eyeballs (including my own)!
This micellar water works for all skin types and is paraben-, fragrance-, sulfate-, and silicone-free.

11. A pack of Bottle Bright tablets so you don't have to toss your tumblers every time you leave them in the car for a few days...or a few weeks...or a month.
12. InstaNatural Vitamin C Serum that uses hyaluronic acid and plant stem cells to reduce sun spots, discolouration, redness, hyper-pigmentation, and dark spots without drying you out.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $45.99.
13. A 3-in-1 avocado slicer — I know, I know, "Why do I need this tool that literally does the job of a knife?" It perfectly halves, de-pits, and slices avocados easily and beautifully, and that sounds pretty freaking good to me.
"The plastic blade dug right in and it was really easy to cut all around the avocado. I actually nicked myself with the blade (because it was so slippery) but it didn't cut my skin or hurt at all. I didn't need to use a lot of force to get the three spikes into the pit and it came out with a twist. AND FINALLY, THE SCOOP: Pretty good considering the avocados weren't fully ripe. It looked to be going perfectly at first, but got difficult near the bottom of the avocado. TBH: It probably would've been perfect if I left my avocados to ripen for one more day." —Sarah Aspler
Get it from Amazon Canada for $12.99+ (available in two colours).
14. A pet hair vacuum that over 6,000 five-star Amazon reviewers confirm will make much quicker work of cleaning up fuzz of all kinds.
15. A Tub Shroom to stop drain clogs before they even begin. You can't really stop yourself from shedding, but you can make cleaning up a heck of a lot easier and cheaper.

17. An Instax camera for capturing memories and storing them irl. I know, physical copies of photos are an anomaly, but you'll be happy to have them once The Cloud comes crashing down sometime in the future.
18. Fanola purple shampoo to help anyone with bleached hair maintain their icy look without expensive trips to the salon. The shampoo gives hair a healthy dose of toning with every wash, keeping the ever-present threat of brassiness from coming through.
