1. Slow-cooker liners that'll make your set-it-and-forget-it routine even easier by making cleanup a snap!
I adore my slow cooker but hate cleaning up after using it. So I use these handy lil' bags. Read my full review of Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners (#4).
Get a box of six liners from Amazon Canada for $5.99.

4. A bottle of V.I.Poo for deadening treacherous toilet smells before they can happen.
5. A super powerful deodorant that won't make your precious pits break out into rashes.
I started using this stuff in middle school and used it into adulthood. I recently fell for the allure of cucumber-scented deodorant that promised to help make my armpits softer. Turns out, it broke me out into a rash and I'm back on Mitchum. And my friend who has about a million skin allergies swears by it too!
Get it from Amazon Canada for $8.41.
6. A password book you should fill out IN PENCIL because who can keep up with all those passwords you constantly have to change and apparently are not strong enough for the robots unless it has something like 29478495734592713 on the end.
7. And a monthly bill planner for helping manage those expenses that feel like they're looming over your head. Sometimes just putting pen to (v organized) paper can help make the daunting things feel much more manageable!
8. A three-way cleaning brush can make big moves on those black suede (or nubuck!) boots you decided to shuffle around in the dirt while wearing last weekend. No more regrets!

12. A pair of coffee scoop/bag clips (one for each hand!!!!) so clever, you'll wish you'd invented them yourself.
13. Softgrip scissors to tear open boxes, zip through wrapping paper, and handle a number of other tasks, all without making your hand ache.
14. A makeup-erasing washcloth — it'll be soft on your skin and tough on that waterproof mascara. *And* it'll help you cut down on your disposable makeup wipe habit.
15. And a set of bestselling makeup sponges in case you've been bad about washing the ones you have now.
Get a five-pack from Amazon Canada for $13.99.
16. An adorable brown sugar-saving bear to keep the sweet ingredient clump-free for your next baking adventure. (No more buying a new package every time you decide to bake!)
17. A setting powder made for oily skin that you can easily take on the go to keep your T-zone looking like matte perfection despite every other factor.
18. A car garbage bag that'll help contain some of the mess that ends up on your backseat floor. Someone buy this for my Uncle Bill STAT. But wait, he may need a bigger bag.
19. A nourishing hand cream to give your ragged cuticles and dry paws a major overhaul.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $9.97.
Our deep dive into O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream goes into more details, so be sure to check it out.
20. A flexible sink caddy so you won't have to search for an MIA cleaning brush or sponge, only to discover it in a pool of water in a mountain of dirty dishes. Gross.
21. A shampoo brush that'll help loosen buildup from styling products and make in-shower detangling a cinch.
22. And a Wet Brush that'll do major things for unruly hair (and maybe save a few bucks of the detangling spray you normally use to douse your hair).
23. Sheet suspenders for keeping your fitted sheet *right* where you want it, lest you roll yourself into a burrito during a night terror.
24. Fridge bin liners that'll keep your fridge tidier so your family will actually consume all that fresh produce you bought.
25. Contoured eye masks for a blackout experience that nestles around you nose but still allows you to comfortably blink. Win-win!
26. Satin pillowcases you can rest your precious head on every night in the pursuit of better-moisturized *and* looking hair and skin. Bedhead and weird lines on your face, be gone!
As a side/stomach sleeper I wake up with lines all over my face if I sleep on a cotton pillowcase, but this satin pillowcase set is super affordable, prevents weird pillowcase lines on my face, AND keeps my hair looking like way less of a mess. Oh, and it's also better for your skin. So yeah, I'm a fan.
Get them from Amazon Canada for $12.99+ (available in three sizes and 14 colours).
27. A rust-removing spray to work like a magic trick in neglected showers, minus the elbow grease. OK so maybe your shower won't look like this "before" frequently (let's hope not!) but it'll be there on hand to help clean much less minor stains.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $5.99 (as an add-on item).
28. A bedside caddy to keep your nighttime essentials nearby, like your sleep mask and current read, to name a few things.
