1. This webcam cover, for extra peace of mind that no one is witnessing you pick your nose while working.
RRP $19.99 / Buy a pack of six from Amazon Australia for $14.49.
This itty-bitty webcam cover gives you an added level of security, allowing you to access your laptop's camera with a simple swipe of your finger. A strong adhesive allows for easy application and red detailing indicates when the camera is exposed. Plus, with six in this set, you can apply one to every device in the house.
2. This posture corrector, which will fix the slump you inevitably get from sitting at your desk all day.
RRP $59.95 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $37.78+.
I know I'm not the only one, who at the end of a day sitting in front of the computer, feels aches and pains in my shoulders and back. Without fail, my neck has slowly inched forward and I've slouched into my chair. This FDA-approved back brace is made of a breathable material, with extra padding applied to the armpit area for extra comfort. Eventually, you will have built enough muscle strength in the new, properly aligned posture, that you'll no longer need it!
3. This Timberland 6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boot, which is perfect for keeping your toes nice and toasty in coming months.
RRP $279.99 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $63.02+.
The design everyone thinks of when you say 'Timberlands'. This — the original of the iconic brand's boots — it is constructed of premium, seam-sealed, waterproof leather (ie. lasts forever) and offers support to your ankles and hardworking soles with all of the padding.
4. This Coleman Quad Cooler Armchair for kids, which quite frankly, is maybe more luxe than my offspring need, but whatever gets them outdoors.
RRP $39.95 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $22.90.
At the risk of sounding like an old lady, my parents always just had me sit on the grass. However, after months of being stuck in the house, I'd happily use the purchase of this chair as a way to keep my kids engaged in the outdoors for as long as possible. Fitted with an insulated cooler on one arm (!), a mesh drink holder and a padded back rest, your kid will have no complaints being torn from their screen with this seat fit for royalty, giving you more precious minutes with Mother Nature.
5. This wildly popular dog teddy bear, which has over 6,890 five-star ratings on Amazon.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $9.63.
I'm going to be honest — I very nearly scrolled by when I saw this because it looks like any other stuffed toy. Then I noticed the four-star rating with 11.5k reviews — why exactly, were so many dog owners invested in this thing? It turns out this bear actually has minimal stuffing (less mess!) and a knotted rope skeleton that makes it perfect for chewing. Plus, it squeaks, so you know your fur baby will be enticed to play.
6. These iconic Adidas Gazelle sneakers, which you'll want in every colour, of which there are 22.

RRP $130+ / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $65.54+.
So, I never learned how to skateboard properly (big deal, considering I'm a '90s kid), but that doesn't mean I can't bask in the wondrousness that is skateboard fashion. This staple sneaker silhouette encases the shoe's patented, comfortable sockliner (good for day-long wear!) and comes in every conceivable colour, from a sun yellow to a powder pink.
7. This cookbook, Ottolenghi SIMPLE by Yotam Ottolenghi, which promises 'minimal hassle for maximum joy'.
RRP $49.99 / Buy in hardcover now from Amazon Australia for $29.
This here is a New York Times and The Sunday Times Bestseller — not to mention a winner at The National Book Awards 2018. So yeah, you know it's excellent.
Every type of easy cooking is represented here — recipes that need only 30 minutes to get on the table, recipes that only use one pot and recipes that can be prepared beforehand. If you're looking for tasty food that won't eat up all your time (aka all of us), get you this book.

8. This 2kg Reebok medicine ball — because you've been too slow and now other retailers are sold out, so here's your best shot at getting fitness equipment.
Buy now from Amazon Australia for $40.67.
Oh, how I miss the gym. In addition to the motivating, shouting fitness instructors, there was a whole range of fitness equipment I had access to. This medicine ball is the perfect foundation for your home gym — a soft, moisture-resistant surface aids grip during workouts and its weighted core is perfect for making your squats that much deeper.
9. This Coleman Stadium Seat, to ensure your tush is always well-cushioned, so you can comfortably spectate what's happening on the field.
RRP $24.99 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $11.50.
One day, we'll all be allowed out of isolation and we're going to fill cricket stands all weekend long again (I mean, not me, personally, but the rest of you lot). This water-resistant seat can be used to provide back support — or unfolded, as cushioning for both you and a mate. It's easily rolled up, comes in three different colours (blue, red, black) and even has a mesh pocket to keep your cold ones close at hand.
10. These capri yoga pants, with a hidden pocket in your waistband for cards or keys.
RRP $62.11 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $16.24.
Made of four-way stretch fabrication (no holes after pilates!), these popular yoga pants are coloured with water-insoluble dyes, so you needn't worry about them ever fading in the wash. Most handy, you won't have to stress about where to store your bank cards when on your daily walk, thanks to a brilliant hidden pocket in the waistband. Still not sure? It has over 650 five-star ratings on Amazon.
11. This Tommy Hilfiger Baby Mascot Gift Box, which is perfect for sending to the new mother in your life.
RRP $99.95 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $23.80+.
As a birth-giving veteran myself, I can tell you that one of the best things to gift a new parent are stretch cotton onesies — babies wet themselves an obscene number of times in those first few weeks and all too often, the contents of their nappy end up on the outside. These particular onesies come in a pretty tin gift box and feature simple nautical-toned designs — no frilly bits to irritate sensitive skin and snap-button closure at hem for easy dressing.
12. This nappy backpack, which I'm filthy about not having found when my children were babies.
RRP $119.99 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $75.99.
Constructed from durable and water-repellent polyester, this nappy bag will last you through the long months before baby is toilet-trained. Insulated pockets keep milk bottles the ideal temperature for longer and various compartments keep food, toys and clothing separate from each other. Plus, it also comes in a charcoal grey. If you're looking for the perfect gift for a new parent, take it from this mother — this is the one.
13. This Lention 13" Split Leather Laptop Sleeve, which looks infinitely more professional than the wetsuit sleeve you're currently hauling around.
RRP $92.39 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $18.35+.
Constructed from genuine leather (easy to wipe down!), this darling laptop sleeve will keep safe 13" laptops, including the MacBook Pro, MacBoook Air and Dell XPS, with magnetic snaps to close. A soft, velvet interior lining will keep your laptop from picking up scratches when you inevitably bump it on something. Plus, it also comes in a black or tan.
14. This extra large Outward Hound Ripstop Dog Life Jacket, helping your fur baby stay visible and safe in open water.
RRP $79.99 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $57.68.
I mean, look how happy he looks. This dog life jacket features top grab handles for easy rescue and restraint, a front neck float to keep your dog's head above water and reflective accents and bright colours so you can always keep an eye on your beloved pet.
15. This, Prey for PlayStation 4, which honestly, freaks me out a bit. I love it.
RRP $49.95 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $14.95.
Whether you're into first person shooting games or are a fan of sci-fi thrillers, this game should be the next you binge-play your way through. One of the last remaining survivors on a space station, you will gain alien abilities and an arsenal of tools with which to fight the invading extraterrestrials.
16. This Aerobed Extra Comfort High Single-Sized Mattress, because whenever social distancing is over, you're going to want to have your mates over.
RRP $249 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $128.56.
There are few inflatable mattresses that I can tolerate — the plastic construction is uncomfortable and it usually deflates so much that by morning, your bum is basically on the floor. This particular mattress features industry-best quad coil construction (for ultimate comfort) and a firmness adjustment wand, meaning you can increase or decrease the firmness when lying down.
17. These Reebok Classic Leather Trainers in Intense White — which, though sold in men's sizes, can be worn by anyone.
RRP $130 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $77.23+.
Premium English footwear brand, Reebok, has produced many an iconic style, but this here has to be among the most popular. Low-top design, snow white from tongue to heel — except for its gum outer sole — it's the easy pick for an everyday shoe.
18. This Calvin Klein triangle bikini top, which contrasts a classic silhouette with a bold, branded aesthetic.
RRP $69.95 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $19.70+.
Take your love of Calvin Klein's bold underwear to the beach with this triangle bikini top. It comes with removable pads, snaps-to-close at the back and its quick-drying fabrication offers protection from UVA and UVB rays. Choose one of the many colours on offer, including High Risk Red and White — I favour the classic black.
19. This romantic, lace-trimmed Cooper St Myrtle Short Sleeve dress, which looks straight from the Golden Age of Italian cinema.
RRP $299.95 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $45.59+.
Oh, I just adore this dress. Illusion neckline and bell sleeves, lace overlay with romantic, little embroidered flowers and an asymmetrical, knee-skimming hemline — timeless. Wear with a red lip and I-spent-an-hour-making-this-look-like-I-just-woke-up bed hair.
20. These Windsor Smith Mary Block Heel Boots, which were certainly made for walking (in, all day, every day).
RRP $120.50 / Buy now from Amazon Australia for $79.86+.
A short, little Asian lady myself, I live in my heels and my feet suffer the consequences for it. Finally, a boot I can walk in all day. These genuine leather boots with an 8cm block heel will shape to your foot as they age — and in three different stains, can be counted on to suit every style.
21. And finally, this balloon-filled ball, which makes the fun of chasing a balloon safer for your furry friend.

This durable, water-resistant balloon cover allows small dogs to play with inflatable balloons with a significantly reduced risk of bursting or them chewing on torn parts.
