    21 Things I Don't Understand How You've Lived Without This Whole Time

    How I've survived without a tongue cleaner or can colander I will never know.

    1. A paws-itively amazing rubber pet hair broom with a built-in squeegee designed to sweep up all that shedding (and even liquids!) like no other.

    2. A pair of Boot Bananas that'll use a combo of plant extracts, activated charcoal, minerals, and salts to deodorize even the stinkiest of shoes, and look cute doing it, too.

    3. A double-sided tongue scraper and brush, aka the oral hygiene gadget you never knew you needed. Bad breath, aftertastes, and even your trusty toothbrush are no match for this thing.

    4. A 2020 wall calendar featuring a different unlikely animal friendship and the story of how they met each month, because I'm honestly not sure I'll make it through the year without this heaping dose of wholesomeness.

    5. Ingenious right angle scissors both right- and left-handed folks can use that'll probably make you wonder why all scissors weren't just designed like this in the first place.

    6. Non-scratch cooktop scrubbing pads for anyone with a smooth-top range who wants to be tough on gunk but gentle on their beloved appliance (I guess I could have stopped after "anyone with a smooth-top range").

    7. Surprisingly affordable bike shorts, which, like any trusty pair, are great for wearing for workouts or under dresses. What makes these babies must-haves? POCKETS and over 2,000 (!!!) positive reviews.

    8. A cheeky and clever silicone devil oven pull who actually isn't so evil — he doesn't want you to burn yourself in any of your culinary endeavors!

    9. The Makeup Eraser, a magical plush cloth that can remove EVERY LAST DROP of makeup with just water. One side is made for removing product and the other for exfoliating, and you can wash and reuse it over and over and over. Remind me why you spent so much money on other cleansers and removers again?

    10. Or, for smaller spots, a super handy makeup smudge remover pen that'll allow you to easily correct any mistakes without messing up your whole dang face (or breaking out the oily remover).

    11. A compact and cord-free milk frother so you can save some $$$ and wow your friends by creating Starbucks-worthy drinks at home. Because if there's one thing you truly can't live without? It's coffee.

    12. A handy lip balm holder clip that's exactly the product anyone who's always losing their Chapstick (aka me, you, and probably everyone) has needed all their lives.

    13. An easy wood-repairing marker and wax stick set so you can fill in and cover those scratches you've been meaning to do something about for ages...without spending all that coin to repair or replace your floors and furniture.

    14. A soothing hand and finger massage roller that's an under-$10 life-changer for folks who could use a ~hand~ with pain management.

    15. The Skincare Set from cult-fave brand Glossier, so finally finding that perfect skincare routine will be as easy as clicking "add to cart."

    16. A dishwasher-safe can colander sure to make anyone who loves the convenience of canned foods but hates getting pungent liquid on their fingers say "I can't believe I went so long without this!"

    17. An unbelievably awww-worthy animal waffle maker that'll make both kids and adults alike wonder why they've ever let breakfast be boring.

    18. Hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free makeup brush-cleaning "shampoo" to have your beloved brushes suds-enly looking like new — and yeah, it puts plain soap and water to shame.

    19. A countertop dishwasher that's a dream come true for anyone who thought the size of their kitchen and their budget meant they were going to have to live with hand washing dishes for the rest of their days.

    20. An airtight paintbrush cover you shouldn't be without for your next painting project. It'll help keep your brush from drying out between coats, so you won't waste as much time washing it!

    21. And a seriously fantastic pearl bracelet that just plain gets you more than any piece of jewelry — I don't care if it's an engagement ring or the friendship bracelet your middle-school bestie made you at camp — ever could.
