1. A handy Souper Cubes freezer tray so you can store notoriously hard-to-freeze things like soups and sauces. Being able to unthaw individual portions of warm, cozy soup is the best way to begin life-hacking the new year.
2. A moisture meter you place deep down into the soil to know exactly how much water your plant is getting. Under- and overwatering is a thing of the past, people!
3. A lock bag for anyone who has been keeping their most important papers somewhere less than *safe*. This is even fire and water proof!
4. A Guac-Lock, because learning how to keep leftovers fresh is a life skill worth feeding into this year. Go ahead, enjoy that homemade guacamole for days on end!
5. A versatile bag clip so you can treat your Gucci dupe with the love and respect it deserves — it's hard work looking that pretty!
6. A silverware cubby for upgrading your currently cluttered utensil drawer. This space-saving solution practically flat packs your flatware.
7. A set of high-quality hangers designed with strong, natural wood AND a nifty metal loop on the actual hanger — these'll let you hang multiple items of clothing vertically, saving you closet space while organizing outfits. Now go stuff those sweatpants somewhere the sun don't shine.
8. A spiffy three-stage silicone cup to adapt as your toddler's fine motor skills start kicking in. Once they begin to insist on drinking from a "big kid cup," this unbreakable bud can adjust accordingly.
9. A set of fiberglass chopsticks that are dishwasher safe and made with a no-slip design — these are gonna help you easily eating noodles without tasty bites slipping and sliding before they make it into your mouth.
10. An area rug that'll look great in your home through every furniture fad that comes its way. Plus, the dark design is a champion at hiding spills and stains (I'm speaking from ~pet owning~ experience).
11. A nail biting polish so you can finally break this frustrating habit. Once you see how healed your fingers look after using this you can proudly shout "Nailed it!" And you should.
12. A purse organizer that'll let you fill your bag with every item you could possibly need while out...without compromising on staying impressively organized. Oh, you need a bandage? You have them color-coded in the pocket next to your ChapStick.
13. A rapid egg cooker so you don't have to waste your precious time standing over the stove waiting for your eggs to finish cooking. This is an eggcelent way to guarantee your breakfast is always worthy of a blue ribbon.
14. A teaching alarm clock to help your children know when they're allowed to leave their room, giving you slightly more shut-eye in the a.m. this year. Update the settings to your family's schedule and this lil' helper will light up when the kids are allowed to get up and out of bed.
15. A pet hair broom that extends up to 60 inches, so you can actually reach all the nooks and crannies where your pet puts her fanny...and get all the hair she loves leaving behind.
16. A bottle of Jot coffee concentrate sure to be a fun addition to any coffee fan's growing bean-and-brew collection. Take it from me, this stuff tastes amazing. It's sure to feel like a luxurious gift to your gullet.
17. A fast-acting carpet spot-removing spray you're gonna be grateful to have on hand when your red wine falls out of it.
18. A garlic rocker that'll, ahem, rock your world. This tool is so much easier to use/clean than a traditional garlic press. It's fast and efficient, so you can cook with even more garlic! Your breath is about to be impressively pungent.
19. A SlideAway storage bag — the attached mat is big enough for playing with juuust about every tiny toy your kids own, which means there won't be any cleanup at all! If your patience is most tested by a messy bedroom, this basket is the new year hack for you!
20. A formula dispenser sure to help make middle-of-the-night feedings easier when you're so tired you hardly remember you even have a baby. Don't worry, this'll do the hard part for you.
21. A window-installed pet door so your pet can easily get in and out of the house, even if you have a rental. No more destroying doors to make tinier doors!
22. A reviewer-loved time-marked water bottle with a handy flip top lid, leakproof spout, and dozens of colors to chose from. This darling water bottle might actually make your new year's resolution of drinking more water seem, you know, satisfying.

24. A pair of blind-spot mirrors you'll be particularly happy to have when you're forced to parallel park in front of a Porsche.
25. A clip-on silicone colander designed to make your life *that* much easier. It fits onto most pots and bowls, so all you have to do is clip it, tilt it, and enjoy your strained food.
26. An adjustable wobble stool you can replace your office chair or yoga ball with. You can rock around while sitting or adjust it to a near-standing angle — keeping you active and focused while you work.
