1. A no-rinse soap that removes an entire step from hand-washing your clothes, making the whole process easier and faster. It's perfect for washing your delicates (e.g. your underpants and/or bras!) and will keep your wardrobe feeling soft.
2. A pair of waterproof shoe covers to keep on hand in case of unexpected rain. We all know that umbrella is not going to protect your new suede heels from a torrential downpour.
3. A journal that's more than happy to store all your increasingly complicated passwords. At least 12 characters, including a symbol, number, capital letter, ancient rune, and the fleeting details of a half-remembered dream? COME ON!
4. A breakfast sandwich maker that cooks every part of the sandwich at once and then neatly stacks them together so you can skip the line at your local deli.
5. A peel-off cuticle guard so you can get fancy with your sponge manicure — or more likely, so you can get a half-decent manicure that's not mostly on your fingers.
6. A pack of toaster bags so you can get your grilled cheese fix without waiting around to flip your sandwich in a pan.
7. A blind spot mirror so switching lanes doesn't have to be a heart-stopping moment of terror.
8. A folding board that lets you harness the tools of the retail professionals and get perfect folds every time.
9. Detangling brushes that'll make quick work out of even the knottiest hair. Brushing your or your kid's hair no longer has to end in tears.
10. ~Handy~ nail clippers sporting a rotating swivel head and an extra-long handle, giving you easier access to hard-to-reach nails.
11. An under-counter jar opener so you can open stubborn containers with just one hand (the other hand is free to text friends about all the pickles you're about to eat).
12. A handy device that keeps track of whether or not the dog has been fed. Those hungry puppy dog eyes aren't fooling anyone now, Fido!
13. Slow cooker liners so you don't have to yank the heavy pot out of the cooker to clean it.
14. A dip clip so you can be in complete control of how much sauce is getting on your food.
15. An egg cooker you can count on to not mess up the hard boiled eggs again.
16. A veggie chopper to make quick work of your prep work.
17. A microwave popcorn maker so you can avoid the bagged kind, but still do the least amount of work possible.
18. An ice tray with a lid so you can walk at a normal pace from the sink to the freezer and just throw that thing in there, no risk of spills.
19. A magnetic meal planning pad with a detachable shopping list for when you want to really commit to cooking at home.
20. A ball of slime putty that's really fun to play with — but don't forget to use it to clean up anything with lots of nooks and crannies.
21. A jewelry cleaning pen you can count on to add new shine to your gems, no costly trip to the jeweler needed.
22. A pack of Bottle Bright tablets possibly made out of fairy dust, because they'll totally wipe away years of grime in mere minutes.
23. A doggy foot cleaner to quickly get your pup's paws squeaky clean so they can get back to lounging on your furniture instead of the expensive pet bed you got them.
24. A John Frieda hot hair brush for when you wanna look like you have an in-home stylist at your beck and call.
25. An Aerogarden countertop garden for a foolproof way to grow fresh herbs at home. Pizza night is gonna be sooo much better with basil you grew all by yourself.
26. A rotating makeup organizer with room for (almost) all of your beauty items. You'll never have to dump out a makeup bag on your bed in search of a specific eyeliner ever again!
27. A Tile Mate you can keep track of on your phone. Clip it on to your keys, bag, dog, or whatever you're constantly misplacing.
28. A wall suction that you can fill with peanut butter so your dog will have something to distract themselves with from the unimaginable horror of bath time.
29. And a liquid eyeliner with a stamp on the other end so you can just ~wing~ it when you want dramatic cat eyes without the drama of trying to draw them on yourself.
You, improving your life with every one of these items:
