    27 Random Amazon Canada Products That Made Me Say, “That’s Actually Brilliant"

    I don't know who invented these products but they're the real MVPs.

    1. A satin-lined beanie that'll protect your curls from the elements. The stretchy material and slouchy style means it'll fit comfortably over your 'fro or braids and reviewers say it helps keep their hair from getting frizzy.

    2. A pack of plant stakes with sticky tabs on them to trap those pesky insects. They'll catch everything from fruit flies and midges to aphids and gnats. Plus, they're a great way to protect your plant babies from bugs without using pesticides.

    3. A pack of microfibre slippers that'll make cleaning your floors easier and WAY more entertaining. They're soft enough that you can use them on any floor and can even be attached to your broom to convert it into a mop.

    4. A heat-resistant mat that you can use to rest your hairstyling tools on so they won't burn your countertop. It has raised ridges to prevent your tools from slipping.

    5. A little dip clip so you can dunk your chicken nuggets in your sweet and sour sauce while in the car (and without making a mess). It has a flexible silicone clip that'll attach to any vent and grooves along the inner edge that'll fit packets of different shapes and sizes.

    6. An ice cube tray with a silicone lid that'll lock in water so you can store it at any angle in your freezer. Plus, the lid and thick handles make it easy to stack on top of other things.

    7. A pair of microfibre gloves that'll make cleaning all those hard-to-reach spots a lot easier. They'll give you more control than a brush and they're soft enough that you can use them on any surface. They're reusable so once you're done cleaning, you can throw them in the wash.

    8. A night light that'll brighten up your bathroom like a glowstick. It'll hang from the edge of your toilet bowl and save you from having to turn on the overhead light when you need a 2 a.m. bathroom visit.

    9. A drain protector that'll catch stray hairs before they slide down the pipes. It’ll save you from a clogged drain and the disgusting chore of having to remove hair from it. And when you're ready to have a bath, just press down on the edges to seal the drain.

    10. A tube of strawberry-scented lip balm by Softlips that'll react to the pH level of your skin and tint your kisser a unique shade of pink. It's packed with argan oil and beeswax, making it super hydrating.

    11. A pack of magnets that'll hang artwork, pictures, and other wall art without damaging your walls like a traditional hook. The little stickers will adhere to any surface so you have the freedom to place your art anywhere in your home.

    12. A compost bin with a little hook that you can attach to your kitchen drawers to collect scraps while you're cutting or peeling foods. You can even keep it in the fridge until garbage day to prevent fruit flies and bad odours from taking over.

    13. A little slicer that'll help you quickly and safely cut through tape, paper, or plastic packaging. It has a small ceramic blade that'll never get dull or rust and is almost impossible to cut your fingers on.

    14. A 2-in-1 bag clip and measuring spoon that'll be the perfect accessory for your coffee bag. It'll help measure the right amount of coffee every time while keeping your coffee stash fresh.

    15. A wide roller stamp that'll cover all the private information on your papers and envelopes with a thick, dark ink. Now you can recycle your mail without worrying about of someone stealing your personal information. No shredder needed.

    16. A pair of tiny beauty spatulas that'll help you get every last drop of your beauty products out of their bottles so you won't have to replace them right away. The flexible silicone head and long, narrow handle can fit into your favourite makeup and skincare bottles. And when the containers are cleaned out, they're in the perfect condition to be recycled.

    17. A glasses holder that'll keep you from dropping and losing your specs when you're not wearing them. It has a magnetic backplate so you can attach it on anything you're wearing. You can also use it to hang your ID badge, headphones, and other small items if you don't have a pocket.

    18. A pack of velvety scrunchies that have hidden zippers so you can store small items like your keys or lip gloss inside. They're the perfect accessory to wear when you don't want to lug around a bag and your outfit doesn't have pockets.

    19. A handy patch and primer that'll help fill and sand the holes in your wall so it'll look as good as new. The top of the tube is a putty knife and there's a sanding pad on the cap that'll help patch and smooth the spackle.

    20. An eco-friendly notebook that you can scan using the Rocketbook app to create digital copies of all your notes. The paper is reusable so once you're finished with your notes, just wipe the paper with a damp cloth to erase everything.

    21. A pack of screen repair tape that'll cover up the holes in your screened windows so you won't have to replace them when they start looking worse for wear. Reviewers say it's sticky enough that you won't have to reapply the tape. Plus, it has the same grid pattern as the screen, making it almost impossible to tell that it's a patch job.

    22. A clever drain cover that’ll keep water from escaping your tub when you’re having a bath. The ring of suction creates a perfect seal around the overflow drain, transforming your regular tub into the deep-soaking bathtub of your dreams.

    23. A pack of fertilizer spikes that'll give your plant babies a much-needed dose of nutrients because they're looking a little sad these days. They're great for any indoor plants and you'll only have to replace them once a month (or every two months during the winter).

    24. A posture-correcting brace that'll help you break your bad habit of slouching. It has a similar design to a backpack, with adjustable straps to keep them from digging into your arms. Plus, it's slim enough that you can wear it underneath your shirt without adding extra bulk.

    25. A pair of towel scrunchies that'll suck up all the excess water from your tresses so you won't have to go to bed with wet hair. They're made with a soft microfibre material that won't pull on your strands or make your hair frizzy.

    26. A box of colour-catching sheets that'll absorb excess dye so it won't bleed onto your light-coloured clothing in the washing machine. It'll save you from sorting your laundry, especially when you don't have enough clothing to do separate loads of whites and colours.

    27. And finally, an anti-fog cloth that'll keep your specs from clouding up while you're wearing a face mask. You can also use it on any glass surface (like your devices or mirrors) to remove dust and fingerprints, making it a handy product to keep with you all the time.
