1. A bug bite suction tool that'll play those suckers at their own game. It actually removes insect venom, saliva, and other irritants under your skin to stop the itching and even help ease swelling — meaning this just might be the first summer we don't feel plagued by scratching.
2. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals, because this'll help prevent over- *and* under-watering your precious plant bbs. This'll reduce ~water stress~ in plants and protect them from heat and drought — all you have to do is mix 'em in the soil.
3. An ice cube tray for making nugget-shaped iced cubes, aka the best kind. Now every time you want those perfectly crunchy cubes in your soda, you won't have to drive out to A&W.
4. A dual dog leash to walk both your pups at the same time without having to juggle. It comes in various size combinations, so even if you have a tiny *and* big fur child, you'll be able to depend on this for drama-free walks.
5. A cute germ-avoidance tool so you don't have to repeatedly dry your hands out with hand sanitizer every time you touch something. This lil' guy will help put your mind at ease.
6. A jalapeño corer that'll prepare your favourite dishes without getting seeds all over your fingers (don't. touch. your. eyes.) *and* speed up the process altogether.
7. A DHC makeup primer to keep excess oil and sweat from disrupting your hard work — even after hours of wear. It also helps smooth the appearance of pores and breakouts, meaning this quick extra step will make your foundation skills look ::chef kisses fingers::
8. An odour-removing gel, because this'll eliminate pesky odours from your kitchen, trash, bathroom, or wherever else leaves ~lingering smells~. This *absorbs* the odours instead of simply masking them with perfume-y scents and lasts up to 60 days. You can even use it to take care of pet odours!
9. A set of vacuum storage bags so you can finally free up your closet or drawers by compressing all your bulky sweaters. No more squeezing in summer dresses in between a sea of knits.
10. A swivel grout and corner brush that you can attach to almost any broom handle to sufficiently scrub away tough dirt or grime from any angle *without* having to get down on all fours. My back feels better already.
11. A cooling weighted blanket for maintaining a comforting nighttime routine that helps you fall (and *stay*) asleep this summer without instantly turning into a puddle of sweat. This'll still apply pressure to help you feel relaxed, but uses glass beads to keep you cool all night.
12. A Rain-X glass treatment that'll protect your car windows from rain water blocking your view while driving. Basically it'll repel the rain (and reduce sleet, ice, and snow) so you can still see clearly.
13. A pair of compression running socks to help you push through that extra mile, thanks to better blood circulation, reduced swelling and soreness, and even moisture-wicking fabric. Dare I say, this'll be the day you meet your seven-mile goal.
14. A pair of silicone dish-washing gloves, because these'll help you get post-dinner chores OVER WITH in a faster amount of time. Turns out this is all we needed to wash our pan before letting it "soak" for 15 years.
15. A memory foam seat cushion for making your at-home desk chair so much comfier so you don't get a backache midday (hello to everyone using a kitchen chair 💀). Reviewers say this actually also helps their posture!
16. A silicone drain cover so you finally have a cheap solution if you don't have a garbage disposal. It'll catch everything *before* it goes down the drain so you don't have to go digging — or more likely, avoid cleaning altogether and let a mess pile up. Now you can just wipe it all off.
17. A set of bra extenders that'll *also* serve as a handy, super discreet way to make bodysuits more comfortable if they're constantly giving you wedgies. You'll get a pack of three, so you can create more breathing room in BOTH your tops and bras. Cue major sigh of relief.
18. A draft-blocker to make the most of your A.C. by keeping it *in* the room, instead of letting it escape. And! It'll muffle outside noises, particularly helpful if you're currently quarantining with loud people.
19. A no-spill dog bowl for making sure your beloved but messy fur child doesn't splatter your floor every time they want a drink. The floating base gives your pup water little by little so a) they don't get wet mouth b) can't drink too fast and c) get water everywhere. Your days of cleaning up after them are OVER.
