    31 Products I Don't Understand How You've Lived Your Whole Life Without

    Everyone needs a bubble wrap calendar.

    1. A genius device that sticks right on your (or your kid's or pet's) pill bottle so you never have to doubt whether you took your medicine or not. Plus, they're reusable, so you can peel 'em off and stick on new bottles when you get a refill.

    2. A Lay-n-Go cosmetic bag so you'll never need to pack and unpack a toiletry bag again — it unfurls into a makeup mat so you can find everything with zero rummaging and nothing will get left behind when it's time to go, even if you overslept and are *this close* to missing your flight.

    pink bag unfurled with text reading "elastic strip holds brushes and bobby pins perfectly" and "handy lip easily contains all of the things" then the pouch closed with text "internal zip pocket keeps earrings safe"

    3. A HyperChiller, which you just need to fill with water and freeze — then it's ready to turn just-brewed hot coffee into iced coffee in (get this) only 60 seconds.

    4. A shockingly stylish treat pouch to solve the eternal do-I-bother-bringing-a-purse-just-to-walk-the-dog-and-what-kind struggle once and for all. Like New York's hottest club, it has everything — room for both doggo and human essentials, the ability to be worn as a crossbody or fanny pack, and even a poop bag dispenser on the side!

    5. Silicone grips every glasses-wearer needs to keep their specs comfy and from slipping down their nose all the dang time. ✨ Oculus Reparo ✨, indeed.

    6. A double-pocket caddy that'll slide onto the handle of your rolling suitcase, because it feels like even Machamp doesn't have enough arms to make getting through an airport or train station easy. It's especially impossible once you stop at Starbucks or fill up a big ol' water bottle — thankfully, this will provide you with two easy-to-access cup holders.

    7. Adjustable shoe stackers to keep your precious pairs together without squishing them and save major shelf space, even if you've got a shoe collection to rival Carrie Bradshaw's.

    8. A gorgeous "you kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath" sticker, because Swifties, how the heck did we live the past 10 years of our lives not knowing this lyric existed the whole time?!?

    9. Super-cool foaming hand soap that pumps in the shape of a LIL' PAW PRINT OR FLOWER, PPL!!! Plus, it pumps the foam up onto your hand vertically, so you only need to use one hand to both pump *and* grab the soap.

    10. A Tacosaurus so the ~rex~ of your taco Tuesday won't get all over you plate, tablecloth, and person. This fearsome friend can hold two tacos or other slim foods like sandwiches or donuts and will go down in (pre)history for how much for fun he makes suppertime.

    11. A bold pattern stick-on gel set from ManiMe, which is basically the future of nail art. No more one-size fits all stickers — this brand has you submit pictures of your nails from different angles, then save them to your account so every set you order will be custom printed (!!!) to fit your nails.

    12. An incredibly helpful blind spot mirror that'll quite simply help you be a better, safer driver.

    13. An adjustable measuring cup from the kitchen geniuses at Oxo to eliminate eyeballing and guesstimating for good. Plus, the adjustable body can also be used like a squeegee to push out all of even the stickiest ingredients.

    14. A nourishing shea butter and hyaluronic acid shower lotion designed to be applied when your skin is still wet and your pores are most open to absorb all the moisturizing goodness. Whoever came up with this is a skincare genius.

    15. A transparent bath and shower cupholder that can be used for holding beer or soda cans, shampoo bottles, and most importantly, wine — because vino has kind of replaced a rubber duck as your bubble bath must-have.

    16. A genius sticky note holder with a removable checklist stencil insert that'll upgrade your list-making game — yes, even for my fellow type-A folks who think they have to-do lists perfected.

    17. A cathartic and OMGworthy bubble wrap calendar you'll look forward to popping every day. This gives a whole new meaning to ringing in the new year with ~bubbly~.

    calendar with month names on top and numbered days printed vertically, each under a bubble

    18. Magnetacks, which should perhaps instead be called magnet hacks, since they allow you to pin things to your wall or bulletin board without putting holes in them — the magnets keep them secured to the base of the tack!

    19. An absolutely iconic RBG Funko Pop! figure you should keep on your desk to inspire you to be your ~notoriously~ badass self. Get dissent to you ASAP.

    20. An awesome mini donut maker that'll turn donut mix or any other kind of batter (store-bought is fine, I won't tell!) into seven scrumptious snack-size circles in minutes. It even comes with a recipe book so you'll have a ~hole~ lot of ideas for toppings and glazes.

    21. An absolutely incredible handsome Squidward headphone stand for a ~bold and brash~ way to display your prized pair. They deserve better than just being squished like Plankton at the bottom of your bag.

    22. A snaking tool to free your drain of all the hair that's been making its home down there and slowing down water drainage. I've always thought I had strong stomach for before and after photos, but people, I think we have found my limit.

    23. A cute and clever fruit and veggie hammock that's a win-win because it'll save precious space in your kitchen *and* let your produce lounge in style. 😎

    24. A so-adorable-I'm-not-sure-how-it's-even-allowed Winnie the Pooh honey pot pet bed with a removable cushion that will leave a much less removable smile on your face, not to mention give your fur bb a ~sweet~ place to hide on a blustery day.

    25. A convenient dry erase board that fits right in front of your monitor so your most important notes will be pretty much impossible to forget. It's got a handy storage compartment on the side, too!

    26. A beyond delightful "biscuits with the boss" cookie-scented soy wax candle sure to be irresistible for anyone who gets ~fired up~ when someone insults Ted Lasso.

    27. A rocking garlic press, peeler, and scraper set that'll make meal prep way easier for the garlic lovers of the world. No more trying not to cut your fingers while mincing or trying to get pieces small enough — just peel the clove in the included peeling tube, and then crush it and rock the press back and forth over it for a perfect batch.

    28. An 11-in-1 tool complete with (*takes big breath*) standard and needle nose pliers, a knife, a saw, a wire cutter, slotted and Phillips screwdrivers, a bottle opener, a can opener, a file, and a rope cutter. If you don't want to be caught unprepared, you need this little livesaver in your junk drawer or car.

    29. A luxe, soothing, weighted silk eye mask that's helped reviewers get a quality snooze — and that's priceless. It even comes with a bonus gel eye mask for extra self-care goodness.

    30. The ChopStir, designed to (you guessed it) both chop and stir whatever you've got cooking, as well as ~crush~ the job of crushing ingredients. It's made from heat-resistant nylon, is dishwasher safe, and won't damage nonstick surfaces. Your other cooking tools will be jealous!

    31. And finally, an amazingly extra bejeweled burger jewelry tray with several stackable layers, because two of the most indispensable things in life are glitter and carbs, IMHO.
