Just a few things that'll make life a little easier.
"I have finally gotten my skin under control but that doesn't mean the occasional pimple doesn't rock on up and ruin my day. When one or two decide to bless me with their presence, I pop these babies on. They suck the nasty stuff that lurks inside zits right out in a matter of hours. Not only are the results gross and satisfying to see when I peel them off but they don't leave behind the usual scabs I get from poking and prodding at active pimples with my nails." —Alice Prendergast

"This coat HAS IT ALL! It's puffy and super-insulated but not *giant* and covers the butt (very key when you're wearing thin leggings on the bottom all winter — the wind goes right through 'em). And it's just really darn cute! I wanted an oversized look, so for reference, I wear a size 2 in most things and I got the small. To me, it's perfect! I've taken it for a spin on unusually cold November days (windchill in the teens), on post-snow mornings, and I know it's going to keep me super warm, no matter how the freezing New York winds blow." —Maitland Quitmeyer

I can't tell you the last time I've bought single-use food bags since we started using these. They're the only food bags I carry in my bag, because they're actually leakproof. They're super easy to wash and they can hold just about anything. We use them mostly for snacks or leftovers, but I've also started using them when I travel to hold my toiletries (y'know in case my bottle of conditioner bursts open or something).

"I was only into drinking black coffee until I rediscovered the joys of foamy, caffeinated beverages on a recent Starbucks adventure. Since I don't like spending half of my paycheque on barista-brewed drinks, I invested in this device. It foams up my plant-based creamers like none other and saves me a ton of money. Oh, and I learned on TikTok that you can use it to make scrambled eggs, too!" —Alice Prendergast

The regular spatula is great for medium to large sized bottles like lotion, shampoo, or conditioner, and the mini spatula is perfect for makeup bottles. I figure after using these spatulas for a few months, I've probably saved more than a few loonies and toonies on makeup and skincare. Plus, it's super satisfying to see how much product comes out. I knew there was more in there!

"I bought this for myself (since I'm clearly a REAL adult) and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually when my husband makes sauce from scratch I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom. My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer." —Heather Braga

"I, a certified Lazy Individual (TM), own one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years. Perfectly medium-boiled eggs every time. I even bought one for my parents so I could spread its majesty to them as well (but also mostly so I could use it when I come to visit, if we're being real). Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume!" —Emma Lord

My mom and I are complete opposites when it comes to drinking water, especially if it comes from the tap. I got her this water bottle for her in hopes that she'd drink more water during the day. We have a Brita water pitcher (that we love) but it's pretty useless when we're out and about. It only made to sense to try out the travel-friendly version and I'm so glad we did. I don't mind drinking tap water but even I could taste the difference between the water in a regular bottle and this one. She won't leave the house without it now so I'm calling it a win.

"A quick spritz of this lavender-scented spray was enough to banish any unpleasant smells — not to mention that the addition of tea tree oil makes it naturally anti-septic. Sensitive to scents? Thankfully, the smell softens really quickly, so you won't get an annoying headache the next time you mask up. The ultra-fine mist means you won't end up with a soggy face covering, either." —Victoria Kuglin

I live with two small children and, as a result, I'm constantly cleaning up after them. These magic erasers are a true blessing. Instead of scrubbing away stains with a bucket and cloth like Cinderella, I can quickly and effectively remove whatever mysterious marks and stains I find on tables, walls, and other surfaces in seconds. Like this beautiful crayon mural, for instance. It took less than a minute to clean up, and all it took was a little water and elbow grease.

“Yes. I used the Squatty Potty while pooping and it made pooping easier. It took a day or two to get used to but within a week of using it, I noticed quite a positive difference in my, uh, evacuation. It took less effort and less time and really just made the whole process a lot more pleasant. In fact, within a week, it started feeling strange to use other toilets WITHOUT the Squatty Potty. I actually prefer using it now.” —Kat Angus

"When I go jogging, I obviously need to bring my house keys with me — but I don't want to bring my entire clunky keychain along for the ride. But it's also really annoying trying to pry my house keys off the ring every time and then try to put them back on later! Luckily, the S-biner has made the process wayyyyy easier for me. I just clip it to the keychain, and my house keys to the other end of the S-biner." —Kat Angus

"This baby will save you from getting down on your hands and knees to scrub down your toilet bowl because it does the work with every flush. It's actually really satisfying to use and I'm happy to report it works, too! It keeps my toilet smelling fresh and saves me from having to scrub away gross build-up on the bowl, meaning I have one less chore to do every week. This is the definition of working smarter, not harder, people!" —Alice Prendergast
