1. An ingenious champagne stopper that doesn't just reseal your precious bottle, but also increases the pressure inside to preserve the bubbles. Because honestly, nothing should stop you from pouring an individual glass of bubbly for you and you alone.
2. 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.
3. 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??
4. A game-changing 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.
5. Chic leopard pumps you can swap out for your boring black heels and make any office or party look wayyyy more interesting.
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.
7. A luxe, gently exfoliating shower gel to start off every morning feeling like you're at a spa. Hey, you deserve it before tackling your very full inbox and dealing with Susan from accounting.
8. Trendy oversize pearl hairclips that'll take any bad hair day or basic outfit from zero to Insta-worthy in seconds flat.
9. CND SolarOil, which is here to give you the best and strongest nails of your life by banishing brittleness and dry cuticles for good. ~Nailed~ it!
10. A clever essential oil diffuser necklace so you can get a ~scents~ of calm at the office, in class, out running errands, or wherever you need it and look dang cute doing it, too.
11. A fabulous shade of Ella + Mila polish, which isn't a regular nail polish, it's a cool nail polish. I'm talking vegan and cruelty-free, made in the USA, AND free of seven major chemicals, like formaldehyde, camphor, and DBP. You've really ~nailed~ this whole ethical beauty thing.
12. A handy suction cup sponge caddy to make your kitchen both more organized and more hygienic. Just affix it to the wall or your sink to keep your sponge dry and fresh for as long as possible — because kitchen sponges are already gross enough without you letting them fester in the basin of your sink.
13. Vivienne Sabó Cabaret Premiere mascara, a cruelty-free, luxe-looking formula that over 1,500 reviewers swear and that's a definite upgrade from your usual drugstore brand, but still super affordable.
14. Waterproof blister pads to help prevent blisters and keep ones you've already got covered, while being way cushier than a regular Band-Aid.
15. A moisturizing rosebud salve for anyone who refuses to spend another winter with seemingly incurable chapped lips and cracking knuckles.
16. Pawsitively OMG-worthy cat napkins to make every meal approximately a million times more enjoyable and to seriously a~mews~ your guests at your next dinner party.
17. A bottle of Glossier's miraculous Solution, a gentle chemical exfoliating formula that truly seems to be the ~solution~ to skin woes from acne to redness, plus helps skin look smoother and softer. Talk about a glow up.
18. Charcoal-infused double-ended flossers that basically put the kind you get at the drugstore to shame in every way. They're made with compostable cornstarch and are plastic-free (that includes the packaging) and have two threads instead of one to really get all the gunk out from between your chompers.
19. An awesomely autumnal oversize flannel scarf, which is exactly what your fall outfits (and future pumpkin patch pictures) have been missing.
20. A soothing mini massage roller ball to upgrade your self care routine on the cheap. It's compact enough to keep in your bag, next to your bed, or on your desk. You can even pop in the freezer or pair it with essential oils for an extra relaxing experience.
21. A mini bunny Bluetooth speaker you'll be all ears for, since he's the cutest and least bulky way to take your tunes on the go. Toss him in your bag and hop along!
22. A fun and functional leaf-shaped funnel to help you finally water your plants without ~leaf~-ing a small flood on your windowsill. Keeping your foliage friends alive has never been this cute or convenient.
