1. A stunning acacia wood chef's board that can be used as a prep station, cutting board, or serving board. Cost-effective end-grain wood in a patchwork pattern? That's what's cooking!
2. An electric toothbrush because, as an adult, not having a root canal might make you smile even wider than the time your mom got you a Tonka truck for your sixth birthday.
3. A pack of silicone straws that are dishwasher safe (drool) and easy to take anywhere (heckin' joy). That pride you feel when you're being a good kid to Mother Earth? That's adult.
4. A powder polish for giving your kitchenware a well deserved scrub after you watch Beauty and the Beast with your kid and start feeling guilty about the condition of your own flatware friends.
5. A startlingly lovely resin toilet brush holder for making your Instagram followers believe that even the crappiest parts of your life are photo-worthy.
6. A box of chore sticks to help your kiddos keep the house clean by making the process seem slightlyyyy more fun. Playing "pickup sticks" is gonna be way more efficient at your house.
7. A peel-and-stick wall mural you can place over every hole and scratch the previous tenants left in your new apartment. They also separate into individual pieces, so throw these flowers botanic-all over the place!
8. A rattan rolling market cart with a design so chic, it'll make everything you buy look like it came straight from your local farmer's market...even though you've secretly stuffed six boxes of Pizza Rolls underneath your organic arugula.
9. A snazzy futon for adults who know that the years they spent playing Tetris during class taught them a very important life skill: being able to find a way to fit all their furniture into a studio apartment.
10. A mounted cat scratcher – throw some catnip on this and it'll quickly become a preferred scratcher for your cat, saving your expensive furniture from Sassy's wrath. Being able to have a cat and a leather sofa? That's living the life.
11. A mid-century planter that can (fortunately) double as a fancy trashcan when you inevitably kill your plant friend.
12. An enameled dutch oven for first-time chefs who have watched (and rewatched) Salt, Fat, Acid Heat enough times to start treating their kitchen to the luxe tools it deserves.
13. A pair of Allbirds wool runners that are gonna make your dreams come true if you work on your feet all day. Now the only barking dogs you're gonna come home to are your roommate's Pomeranians.
14. A cordless Dyson vacuum because cleaning without this thing sucks — you won't realize what a chore vacuuming was until you have this in your life forever.
15. Or a robot vacuum so you can vacuum the whole place while simultaneously doing dishes, folding laundry, or having a well-deserved soak in the tub (you can define "productive multitasking" any way you please!).
16. A pair of hour glasses – replacing your loud alarms with a silent, aesthetically-pleasing system will be almost as satisfying as replacing your loud teenage neighbors with...IDK, plants?
17. A wine stain remover so you can spill the tea (when your "tea" is red wine) without ruining your favorite sundress.
18. A typewriter coaster set that'll save your coffee table from certain doom and save your guests from coming up with conversation starters – these'll easily have you covered in that area.
19. A rainbow outfit, because one of the great things about being a parent is dressing your children in outfits too cute to find in any grown-up store.
20. A bar cart to proudly show that you are old enough to drink, afford, and display alcohol in your home...MOTHER.
21. A harmless bug catcher for anyone who is super ~bugged~ by the fact that being an adult means dealing with critters all on your own – use this and you can keep them out of your reach even when you're grabbing them.
22. A four-sided brush cleaner so you can get scuffs and salt lines off of your favorite suede shoes. Or suede anything, really. It's smooth sailing (and accessories) from here on out!
23. A bidet, because when you realize that washing your bottom after using the bathroom makes even more sense than washing your hands, you're never gonna want to wipe with that dry, wasteful, less-efficient toilet paper ever again.
24. A hand-crafted ceramic essential oil diffuser so you can cover up the smell of your bulldog (who is definitely not supposed to be your roommate) and breathe easy when your landlord comes over and says, "That's a dog...gone beautiful diffuser you have there!"
25. Or a marble patterned diffuser for a less expensive essential-oil diffusing system that really ~rocks~.
26. A shirt folder that'll give you perfectly crisp and beautifully folded shirts that'll bring a tear to your type-A father's eye when he comes to visit.
27. A table runner for any baseball fans who want their decor to be a home run(ner) the next time they have friends over when the game is on.
28. A power scrubbing cleaner and vacuum that is gonna be the laundry day your carpet deserves after it has lived through house training your terrier...and your toddler.
29. A motion-sensor trashcan so top-of-the-line, you're gonna wonder if your trash lives in a better place than you do.
30. An AeroGarden that'll be a truly fool-proof way to grow fresh herbs outside of a garden and inside of your fifth-floor walkup.
31. A 16-piece dinnerware set for when you're hosting a dinner party and want your friends eyes to glaze over in admiration when they see your table set with these perfect plates.
32. A stainless steel cleaner that'll wipe up grease, stains, and fingerprints faster than you're able to say "cleaning the sink sucks." Turns out, it doesn't with this stuff.
33. A classic v-neck so you can have an article of clothing that looks good no matter what you pair it with. Less time standing in front of your closet deciding what goes together is more time to live your (well dressed) life!
34. A pack of bamboo tooth brushes for when your parents stay at your new place and you want to have everything they could possibly need. They'll feel bamboozled by your responsible self!
35. A pack of pimple patches, because you can't run as fast as when you were as a teenager, but with these you can at least get rid of zits faster.
36. A neck wrap that's easy to pack and perfect for snagging some shut-eye while you travel. A place where a grown up gets to nap is a sacred space, even when it's in the middle seat in economy class.
37. And finally, a heating pad for when adulthood feels like pain in the neck and you need a friendly face to get you through.
Adult you, spending your paycheck on a new vacuum cleaner:
