1. A pair of eyeliner stamp pens so you'll actually be able to get that perfect cat eye that you thought only Cleopatra and Taylor Swift were capable of, while still making it out of the house on time. It's long-lasting, too!
2. A handy little gadget designed to ensure you never accidentally forget about feeding your furry friend (and so you can stop second guessing whether or not you did when they give you those puppy dog eyes). You can also use it for other easy-to-forget daily tasks like medications.
3. Or a similar device for humans or animals that sticks right on your 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.
4. Jumbo divider sticky tabs that seriously change the homework and research grind. They're ideal for studying, annotating, and more organized note-taking — I so wish I'd had these when writing my college thesis.
5. An amazingly convenient veggie chopper from the kitchen geniuses at Oxo that'll not only save you a ton of time dicing ingredients, but also allow you to smoothly and easily pour out the cut vegetables when you're done. I bet this can shave 10 minutes off meal prep and cleanup, easily.
6. Beyond handy grocery bag handles made for anyone who REFUSES to make multiple trips into the house with their baggage. These babies make it possible to carry way more at once (up to 50 pounds!!!) and can even hold the bags together in the back of the car so they don't spill.
7. The cutting board to end all cutting boards, because it comes with four interchangeable trays, all with measuring marks, including one with a built-in grater and another with a built-in herb stripper. This way, you can prep all your ingredients and set them aside in their own trays, all without switching between different kitchen gadgets. ✨Efficiency✨, people.
8. Game-changing ceiling fan pulls, because no matter how many times a day you switch them on and off, you can never seem to remember which cord controls the light and which controls the fan. Honestly, why don't they make all ceiling fans with these?!?
9. 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!
10. A miraculous automatic bleach toilet-cleaning system that'll actually *eliminate* a regular chore from your to-do list completely. Once installed, it sends cleaner into the bowl every time you flush, so your toilet will basically clean itself!
11. Orly's Bonder base coat, which I personally swear by to make my regular at-home manis and pedis so much easier (I'm talking less polish all over your cuticles) and more durable.
12. A beyond convenient document clip that attaches to your monitor via Command strip and can hold up to 30 sheets of paper for you to easily reference when studying, transcribing, or doing any other task. No more glancing up and down constantly and losing your place, which means you'll get things done faster.
13. An easy-to-grip Oxo veggie brush, because no one really likes dealing with the dirt on produce. But it'll be much more satisfying with this baby that can seriously turn your spuds into ~studs~.
14. Wad-Free, an ingenious device to solve all your sheet-washing woes. It'll help your sheets dry faster and with fewer wrinkles, and prevent them from trapping all the clothes you throw in there with them in the dreaded tangled-up ball. Where have these been your whole laundry-doing life?!?
15. A handy zipper pull tool anyone who lives alone and likes to wear dresses and jumpsuits needs. Putting one on without a family member/roommate/S.O. around to help *is* possible, after all.
16. A genuinely genius butter spreader knife with little holes to help you get spreadable butter from even the hardest sticks, because you're never more impatient than when you're hungry, and hanger and impossible-to-spread butter and broken toast really do not mix well.
17. Or, if you don't even want to have to slice the butter *at all*, a butter dish and grip set that lets you just pop the stick straight onto the grip and spread away for hassle-free pan greasing and toast buttering.
TheMagnetack/Etsy
It's dishwasher safe and from a Miami-based small business!
Promising review: "Absolutely perfect. It holds a whole stick of butter and the butter stays in place — unlike some of the other products on the market that are supposed to serve the same purpose." —Michelle
Get it from TheMagnetack on Etsy for $11.95.
18. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet that's so simple yet game-changing, because apparently shouting, "HEY, ARE THESE DISHES CLEAN OR DIRTY," doesn't need to be a constant refrain in your home.
19. A handy-dandy dish squeegee sure to make anyone who has ever done dishes and touched icky leftover food or struggled to clean up a spill say, "Where have you been all my life?!?!" One side is curved so it works on bowls as well as plates, and it can clean up sinks and countertops just as easily as it can dishes.
20. A clever slicing tool that'll allow you to hold tricky foods like cherry tomatoes, shrimp, bread, meat, and bagels steady without putting your fingers in harm's way. It'll also seriously reduce your chopping time when you're prepping a salad!
Amazon
It's BPA free and dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love this gadget! It’s so simple. Trust me...if you cut tomatoes in half, just do it!! It’s so easy to use. You do need to pretty much fill it up; you can’t just put three or four tomatoes in. Also, don’t press too hard, just lightly rest your hand on top and use a VERY sharp knife for best results. If your knife is dull this will not work! And if you cut raw chicken breasts in half, buy two, because you can use one for that as well!! Just make sure you label it 'raw chicken' and only use it for that." —Leah
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in six colors).
21. A convenient book weight to hold your place hands-free whether you're reading a magazine outside on a breezy day, propping open a cookbook on the counter, or using your hands to munch some popcorn while you devour a new thriller.
22. A game-changing pair of no-tie shoelaces you can use to turn any pair of shoes into comfy, perfect-fitting slip-ons and banish gross, hazardous dangling shoelaces forever. It's worth the time installing them for you to be able to take approximately 0 seconds sliding into your fave shoes for the rest of time.
23. A handy-dandy measurement conversion magnet, because keeping these basics conveniently in sight in the kitchen is muchhhh better than having to google them every five minutes.
MagnetRabbit/Etsy
This Denver-based shop also sells magnetic charts for other useful adulting info, like laundry direction symbols!
Promising review: "Lovely hand written note came with the magnet. Magnet is exactly as described and a handy addition to my kitchen!" —Carla
Get it from MagnetRabbit on Etsy for $5.99+ (available in six colors).
24. An amazing self-cleaning litter box that'll actually keep your kitty's space even more tidy than a box you'd have to put a lot of effort into cleaning would. Best of all, it'll take emptying Fluffy's box from an everyday task to a once-every-few-weeks one!!!
25. The Squatty Potty, a simple yet revolutionary bathroom stool that may change how you pass *your* stool for the rest of your days, even if bathroom trips usually feel like a chore for you and your chaotic digestive system. It helps you comfortably assume a squatting posture, which is the prime position for emptying your bowels with ease.
26. A roll-up dish rack that's so much more than a dish rack. It'll save you a ridiculous amount of counter space, both during cooking and cleanup, since you can use it to dry dishes, thaw meat, and strain veggies, or even as just another place to put cutting boards and dishes during meal prep. And when you're done, you can just roll it up and put it under the sink!
27. A super-handy adjustable jar opener so you'll never again have to give up on having a pickle or spaghetti sauce because dang, do they superglue that stuff closed!?!?!
28. An unbelievably ingenious sock organizer made to fight back against the phenomenon that's plagued humankind since the invention of the washing machine — disappearing hosiery. You can throw this thing right in the laundry (!!!) so you'll never loose half of a pair of socks in the abyss again, or even have to spend time matching them up when you unload the dryer!
29. A brilliant color-coded keyboard cover illustrating all the shortcuts for Adobe Photoshop that'll be a true game changer for anyone who uses that app about as much as they use their email. And here you were thinking about just tattooing these shortcuts on your hands — this is a bit easier.
30. A funny but genius burger holder to change the way you eat your fave fast food forever. No more spilling on your shirt, losing precious toppings out the back of the bun, or having to strategically calculate which bites to take for minimum mess. It's great for when you're on the go without real plates available, too.
31. A simply brilliant bracelet-fastening tool, because you are correct — lobster claw bracelets are just unnecessarily impossible to fasten. This allows you to hold one end of your bauble steady instead of trying to contort your hands into unnatural positions just to put on your jewelry.
32. A super-helpful strainer bin set for anyone who has v little patience for hand-washing clothes (same). It not only speeds up the process, but also works great for small spaces (it's designed to fit in sinks) and saves you from sticking your hands in the icky water. You don't even need to tip it over to empty it when you're done — the base bucket has a drainage plug!
33. A sponge holder that doubles as a dish soap pump — just press down to immediately get the perfect amount of soap ready to use on your sponge, without making a sticky, sudsy mess of your sink area.
34. A Billie razor starter kit, a cult-fave set that'll make your daily shave so much more enjoyable — just ask the several BuzzFeed Shopping editors who are *obsessed* with it. The kit includes a razor, a magnetic holder, and two blades for 10 bucks.
35. A super-useful washable, reusable, biodegradable towel to make draining the grease from your morning bacon an (eco-friendly and paper-free) breeze.
Green City Living/Amazon Handmade
Just use it to blot bacon like you would a normal paper towel, then soak it in hot water and degreasing dish soap and toss it in the washer to be used again. This genius creation is from a Colorado-based small biz that makes fabric alternatives to all sorts of disposable household products.
Promising review: "Best thing ever. We try to be as sustainable as we can. I hated buying paper towels for bacon grease because we would always use them for everything else because they were there. Now that I have this fancy little towel, we no longer buy paper towels and I am beyond happy. It also cleans very well!" —Kelly Rooney
Get it from Green City Living on Amazon Handmade for $13.50.
