We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A sleep sound machine for improving your ~peace of mind~ in more ways than one. It'll help you drift off to sleep peacefully (goodbye, restless nights) *and* make it possible to concentrate, even if you're in a loud environment. It comes with a white noise setting and ~30~ immersive sounds, like meadow, ocean, and fireplace. Plus! It has an optional timer so you don't have to worry about turning it off.
2. A Kindle Paperwhite that'll make it possible to indulge in your favourite reads whenever, wherever. It's SUPER thin and lightweight so you can easily fit it in any bag, plus its screen dimmer allows you to stay with Jane and Mr. Rochester while your partner sleeps.
3. A subscription to HelloFresh so you can explore different dishes and even improve your cooking skills without any of the struggle (or going to the grocery store IRL). You can choose new meals based off your dietary preferences and restrictions, as well as how much time you want to commit to cooking. Then they're delivered right to your door!
4. An alarm clock that'll help you wake up to a gentle, gradual sunrise (how our bodies were evolved to wake up). It's a splurge, but people say this seriously helped them feel less stressed in the morning and more capable of taking on the day, all thanks to not being ~jolted~ awake first thing in the morning.
5. A weighted blanket for applying *just* enough pressure to drastically improve your sleeping habits. Reviewers swear this helps them anxiety, stress, and insomnia thanks to its comforting weight. If it could talk, it would assure you that a) the Boogeyman isn't real and b) no, you did NOT reply all on that email thread.
6. A Hoover automatic carpet cleaner that'll not only drastically improve your old rugs, but *keep* them looking absolutely spotless. This'll wash and vacuum, so banishing grime from your home takes extremely little effort.
7. An air fryer (made by Instant Pot!!!) so you can make all your crispy faves right in your kitchen — aka you'll actually save money over time now that you don't have to run out for your fried chicken fix. And! It can *also* roast, broil, bake, reheat, and dehydrate. Talk about all-in-one.
8. An Aquis microfibre towel for cutting the time it takes to air dry your hair *in half* so you can use less heat when styling your hair. Plus! It's gentler than a traditional cotton towel, so you and your hair are both happy and in one piece — no breakage here!
9. A pair of wireless Beats headphones that'll seriously upgrade your workout experience — so long, tangled wires. These have a clever ear hook so you don't need to worry about them falling out, sound *crystal clear*, and are sweat-resistant. Or! They're great for everyday activities, like video meetings, walks, you name it.
10. A Levoit air purifier so you can capture allergens, pet hair, dander, mold, and even odour (goodbye, litter box stink) so your home finally feels CLEAN all the time. Its three-in-one filtration system effectively improves your indoor air quality — something anyone with shedding pets knows is a year-round ~situation~.
11. A Le Creuset dutch oven, because it's time to join the bandwagon of people who SWEAR by this high-end kitchenware brand (including Julia Child, just saying). And for good reason — not only will this look ::chef kisses fingers:: in your kitchen, but it's designed with high-quality cooking in mind. Its durable interior browns meat evenly and quickly, cooks food beautifully, and works on every kind of stovetop (even outdoor grills up to 500°F).
12. A pressure washer that'll keep your home looking clean and new, no matter HOW many storms or just general wear-and-tear comes your way. Splurging on this once for consistent maintenance > paying $$$ for pro services.
13. An insect catcher so you can stay far, FAR away from spiders who come for an unexpected visit. It's pricier than most bug-trapping options, but if you're one to do the cup and envelope trick because you don't like to squish bugs...this'll make life easier for you.
14. An electric milk frother that'll help you become your own barista right at home whenever you're craving a creamy cappuccino (it can also make hot chocolate!). It turns out we *don't* need to pay $15 for frothy treats — brb, working on my foam art skills.
15. A makeup-removing towel for the ultimate lazy solution to getting every last drop of foundation and mascara off before hitting the sheets. All you need is this and water to remove a ~full face~ so you can STOP going to bed with makeup on (a *super* avoidable cause for breakouts).
16. A pair of heeled Doc Martens so you can ~kick~ up your style without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. Reviewers say these last forever (like any good ol' pair of Docs), can be worn all darn day, and never make their feet hurt. Guess I'll be wearing these for the rest of my life — with sundresses, jeans, heck maybe even leggings.
17. A cushioned, nonslip yoga mat for making working out at home much more comfortable than when trying to do lunges on your hardwood floor. Its double layer design provides optimal grip (hello, burpees), has extra cushioning to absorb shock (and keep those knees comfy), plus it's longer and wider than most yoga mats.
18. An attachable wine aerator that'll drastically upgrade the taste of your cheap vino right out of the bottle thanks to its ability to infuse oxygen and release its ~aromas~. You just got a lifetime of quality wine without actually spending the cash.
19. A Crest teeth-whitening strips kit so you can combine their famous strips *with* an LED light to increase effectiveness in removing stains and brightening teeth — all year long. This is the kind of multitasking I actually find rewarding.
20. A Braun epilator for longer-lasting hair-removal results if you prefer to shave, but are starting to get fed up with maintaining it (and getting razor burn). It comes with a full kit to trim, epilate, and style your bikini line — and the payoff is for *weeks*, instead of just days.
21. A portable personal blender, because now you'll always have delicious smoothies ~on hand~ to fight mid-afternoon slumps. Plus, this'll start saving money now that you don't have to buy overpriced smoothies. Win, win.
