1. A pocket-sized, safer-to-use cutting tool for making small jobs (cutting tape, opening boxes) quicker and easier and tough jobs (that clamshell packaging) less frustrating.
2. An OXO dough-rolling bag so the perfect pie crust or pizza base is easier than ever. Just pop in your dough, zip, and roll until it's the right size. The saying "as easy as pie" just got a WHOLE lot more accurate.
3. A Kiss Instawave automatic curling iron that rotates to create curls or waves in seconds. All you need to do is press the button and watch the magic happen.
4. A handy dandy gutter scoop with a high handle and extended front so you can quickly get rid of all those goopy leaves without breaking a sweat.
5. A quick and easy breakfast sandwich maker so you can enjoy a hot and satisfying brekkie without having to go out — or shell out those extra bucks. Your sandwich will be ready in just five minutes, without having to break out any extra pots and pans (or even a toaster).
6. A two-in-one sprayer and scrub brush for the easiest dog baths you've ever experienced. Juggling a hose and your pup is hard — now you can pet your doggo and wash 'em with both hands.
7. A picture hanging tool that'll make every step of the process easier. Just line the tape measure up with your anchor points, make sure your placement on the wall is straight with the built-in level, then use the points on the back to mark your spot. You ~nailed~ it!
8. A set of two magnetic cheat sheets for making the most of your Instant Pot without having to Google. This is a great way to make bulk-cooking grains for the whole week and making cooking for yourself a little easier!
9. A pack of Miracle-Gro plant food *spikes* jam-packed with micronutrients to make keeping your green children thriving *actually* easy. These'll revive and nourish all the flowering or foliage plants you've alllllllmost killed — even if they already look like they've seen better days.
10. And a self-watering, self-aerating planter to keep your thirsty plants happy, *without* worrying about dreaded root rot. Just fill the reservoir and the (patented) hollow legs will draw water up into the soil.
11. A roll of double-sided carpet tape, because I can’t be the only one who trips on those curled-up carpet edges and slips on no-grip rugs. Thx for the memories, but I’m TIRED of my life flashing before my eyes mid-fall!
12. A set of tab divider sticky notes so you can make notes *on top* of your notes or those EXPENSIVE textbooks and find them easily, rather than scrambling at the last minute and looking through all 27 notebooks scattered around your room.
13. A round blindspot mirror that'll upgrade your car if you don't have automatic parallel park or fancy warning lights on your side mirrors. This'll make merging, changing lanes, and even your nightmare — parallel parking — a breeze.
14. A set of color-coded hanger tags so you can plan out your week's worth of outfits all at once and make every morning a little easier. When we actually wear clothes again (I'm so excited!!) these can help us make the most of what's *already* in our closets.
15. A knife sharpener with two grooves (one for coarse sharpening and one for quick touch-ups) to make your year-old knives slice like brand-new, because sharp knives are actually *safer* to use!
16. And for the kids in your family who are learning kitchen skills, a safer wooden knife designed for children so they can help you cook and learn a thing or two *while* preventing any ouchies.
17. A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner so you can keep your shower clean and mildew-free by spraying just once a week — and then just rinsing.
18. A borderline genius nail-drying *spray* that with one quick spritz helps your polish dry sooooo much faster, so you can get back to snacking and texting your friends back without ruining your fresh nails five minutes after finishing your oh-so careful application.
19. A 10-in-1 chopper and storage set so you can take the stress out of ingredient prep — for carrots, cheese, or any other ingredient! You can use it to chop, dice, julienne, grate, and more with one press. ~Chop chop!~
20. A laundry folding board that'll, in a few quick moves, transform your wrinkled piles of clothes into *neat*, *easy-to-sort-through* stacks o' crispness, which take up MUCH less space in your closet...and even your suitcase.
21. Or a T-shirt roll holder if you don't like to fold but *do* like to keep your tees available logo-up so you can choose which one to wear every day. This makes it very easy!
22. A pomegranate de-seeder that'll keep you from splurging on prepared fruit — just pop the cut-in-half pomegranate on top, and tap with a spoon until every seed comes out. Your favorite superfood is ready to eat, and you didn't even have to get super annoyed.
23. A spiral-bound password notebook with plenty of lines for each website for when you've added exclamation points and numbers since last time you logged in... but where?
24. A 3D-printed face mask air vent hook, because I can't be the only one who steps out of the car only to discover my mask has fully fallen to the car floor, which G-R-O-S-S!
25. A microwave omelet maker to upgrade your morning eats (and nix any burnt-on eggy pans from your daily routine). ~Omelet you finish~, but this might be the easiest way to make a healthy breakfast of all time. OF ALL TIME.
26. A Revlon one-step drying brush with a unique oval-shaped barrel so you can get super close to your scalp for smooth hair and majorly boosted volume at the roots, without having to juggle a brush and blow-dryer.
27. Or to enhance curls and coils, an extra large diffuser attachment that gathers your curls, drying them in their natural pattern, reducing frizz, and increasing definition AND shine — all in less time than other (smaller) diffusers.
28. A pet-feeding reminder chart so you never have to ask your significant other whether they fed Rufus, only for them to answer "uhhhhhh......."
29. A Dash toaster with a *see through* window for monitoring the darkness of your Eggo, bagel, or toast. As someone with Very Strong Feelings about the proper toast color, this is a game-changer.
30. A SockDock, aka a useful tool you can clip dirty socks to (in pairs!), toss the *whole thing* in the washer and dryer, and remove together so NO SOCK gets lost. And you're not stuck searching for a pair when you're already running late.
31. A Drop Stop car seat gap filler so you can say goodbye to the problem of lost french fries, coins, and more that have fallen into the *crevasse* that exists between your front seat and the center console.
32. A super loud alarm clock with *no snooze available* so you HAVE to get up, because hitting the snooze button restarts your sleep cycle and makes you feel groggy all day.
33. An ~enjoy-a-bowl~, a genius two-bowl system for picky dogs and cats. Put their fave food in the lower bowl, the food they need to eat in the upper bowl, and the aroma will waft up and help them enjoy their dinner more!
34. A clear acrylic makeup mixing palette so you can stop wasting product on the back of your hand (and later getting it...all over your clothes) when applying cream and liquid products with a brush — and also apply evenly all over your face instead of squirting a huge amount on your forehead.
35. A Dash rapid cooker that'll make whipping up nutritious hardboiled eggs less...well...hard. No boiling water, no checking a timer, no overcooked eggs. Just sit back and relax until the (very loud) alarm goes off — perfect eggs are ready!
36. A sturdy but cute felt purse organizer with tons of pockets for your phone, earbuds, cosmetics, hand sanitizer, Kindle, and all the other *must-haves* you usually leave in the bag you used yesterday. When I forget to bring Kleenex with me....it's not pretty.
37. A nonstick ceramic Always Pan (this one's PFOA-free), because that dinner you spent valuable time on shouldn't be burnt on! I have this pan, use it all the time, and *nothing has ever stuck on*!
38. A silicone safeguard to prevent your pot from boiling over and getting pasta water all over your cooktop. Are you as TIRED of scrubbing as I am?!
39. And a clip-on silicone strainer, because why waste space on a full-size colander or struggle with losing half of your noodles down the drain?? This bb is smaller AND easier to use.
40. Nesting food storage containers in a rainbow of colors to make matching the lid easier than ever (each container has a dot with the same color as the lid right on the bottom!) — and of course, these take up, like, *no* room in your cabinets.
41. A Hello Fresh subscription if you're having a hard time finding groceries, planning meals, learning how to cook, or are just in a "what's for dinner?" rut. These meals are easy, tasty, and *very* hard to get wrong — I know from personal experience.
42. A motion-detecting toilet light that'll glow any of 16 colors — so you don't miss the bowl no matter what, trip over cords in the dark, stub your toe, or make another 3 a.m. bathroom trip mishap.
43. A pet hair-removing roller with a patented brush design (and *no* adhesive strips) to rid your lovely black sofa of all your furry friend's shedding in a quick roll — so you can get back to cuddling together.
44. A spice *drawer* organizer so you can turn the messiest part of the kitchen into a clear, easy-to-read assortment of jars and labels. You'll save cabinet space AND never accidentally add cumin where you meant to add coriander again.
45. And a set of minimal labels (available in sets of 20, 40, or 80, depending on how extensive your collection is) you can just stick right on jars so you can see everything laid out neatly — and you can just buy in bulk to refill!
46. A grooming glove designed with nodules on the fingers and palms so you can groom your furry family member *as you pet them* — so they won't fidget or get uncomfortable, and your sofa (and clothes!) won't be constantly covered in hair.
47. A nifty nimbus magnetic key-holder, because $8 on this adorable item will be a WHOLE lot cheaper than calling a locksmith. The keys-phone-wallet pat on your way out the door only goes so far when you're not even sure where you put your keys...
