1. Oxo Good Grip's new laptop cleaning tools, which are actually fun to use to give your tech a much-needed pampering.
2. A convenient condiment fork you can store around the snack jar itself, so you won't ever find yourself ~in a pickle~ and have to stick your fingers in the brine.
3. A useful set of necklace and bracelet extenders that'll go to great ~lengths~ to help you get the most out of your jewelry collection.
4. A One Line A Day journal with space for you to jot down a few sentences every day for five years. The best part? Each date lets you record all five entries on the same page, so you can see the changes in your life each year! Tbh, this might be the thing that actually gets me to start journaling in 2020.
5. A miraculous automatic toilet cleaning system for anyone who's ever wished their toilet would just clean itself. Once installed, it sends cleaner into the bowl every time you flush!
6. A sleek cutlery drawer organizer that'll help you maximize precious drawer space and minimize the obnoxious sound of your silverware storage sliding around. Yes, it is possible for your cutlery drawer to not be an absolute nightmare.
7. Genius biodegradable straws made from — get this — avocado pits. They don't get as soggy as paper straws and aren't as clunky as metal ones, but are still eco-friendly. Just when you thought you couldn't love avocados more.
8. Glossier Boy Brow, a hypoallergenic, paraben-free brow shaping and filling gel that several of my coworkers LITERALLY never stop talking about.
9. A beyond badass longline cape that just might be the ultimate confidence-boosting piece of clothing, the true sartorial soulmate that you've been seeking for as long as you've known how to shop.
10. An ingenious double-layer container so you can transport all the parts of your lunch in a single bowl and prevent your meticulously prepped meal from being a soggy mess by your lunch break.
11. A ~notoriously~ cuddly plush RBG doll that's the companion you've been needing. Honestly, how have you been able to sleep at night without being able to wrap your arms around this defender of all that is right and good?
12. An amazing leather and suede cleaning brush that'll swoop in like a superhero to save the stained and scuffed shoes you thought were past hope. Won't your life be so much better now that you're not afraid to wear your nice shoes out of the house??
13. A game-changing microwave pasta cooker you just fill with water and noodles (there's a line on the side that shows you how much), heat in the microwave for 12-ish minutes, and bam — you've got dinner. Boiling water? I don't know her.
14. LOL-worthy yet useful bird poop-removing wipes to save your car from those lawless winged dinosaurs who seem to have decided that it's their personal toilet.
15. A handy (literally) magnetic wristband for anyone who's ever wished they had an extra limb (or two or three) when working on a repair or DIY project.
16. A perfect pair of pumps you can actually wear All. Day. Long. And here you thought they didn't exist.
17. Much Ado About Mean Girls, because I bet you didn't realize you've been waiting your whole life to see Mean Girls rewritten in the style of the Bard. After all, if Shakespeare created hundreds of words and phrases, he of all people could probably make "fetch" happen.
18. A magical purple toning shampoo that eliminates yellow or brassy tones in your hair, so you won't have to go to the salon for a touch-ups nearly as often. BTW, 3,000+ reviewers say it's to ~dye~ for.
19. A beautiful floral Hedwig crossbody bag owl guarantee came out of some Harry Potter fan's fashion fever dream, and that deserves a spot in every fan's owlery...er, closet.
20. A multipurpose collapsible colander that'll save you precious kitchen space. It works triple duty (you can also use as a pot lid or steamer) and folds up so compactly that you can stash it pretty much anywhere!
21. And finally, a festive vinyl of Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas album, because you absolutely cannot live without "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on repeat from now till December 25.
