    2. A nonstick three-tier cooling rack to make any cooking or baking endeavor feel professional (and prevent things from getting too hot to handle). Three tiers for this wonder!

    3. A sturdy, chic, and machine washable nylon tote for anyone who wants to make their everyday errands less of a mess. Carrying groceries, but make it ~fashion~.

    4. A simple yet game-changing salad making gadget that's a strainer, a chopper, a cutting board, and a bowl all in one.

    13. Pretty metallic clips to instantly upgrade any updo, bar(rette) none.

    14. A set of interconnected fidget blocks you can work into all sorts of cool shapes. It's way more "adult" than a fidget spinner and will look cooler on your desk, too.

    23. A clever collapsible colander that'll get the job done without putting a strain on your limited kitchen space. Plus, it can also work as a lid or steamer when collapsed!

    24. A hanging organizer for scarves, belts, or ties to make even the tiniest of storage spaces feel as full of wonderful accessories as the ginormous closets of your childhood style icons, Cher Horowitz and Hannah Montana.

    25. An adhesive dry-erase calendar to keep your schedule at a glance. The positive? You'll never forget an important appointment. The negative? You can never tell visitors to your house you totally forgot they were coming. Guess you'll actually have to clean.
