We've all uttered these words — "I said this should be a thing the other day!" and cursed the person who actually went through the hard task of getting it made.
I, someone who looks at products for a living, have this conversation on the regular and thought I'd share with you 19 of the brilliant items that are to blame.
1. This pet carrier bag, which allows you to safely take your cat out and about — because ain't no way they're staying on a leash.
2. This keychain car escape tool, that will enable you to cut through your seatbelt and break windows in an emergency.
3. This magnetic phone holder for your car, because life's too short to deal with pesky phone cradles.
4. This motivational water bottle, which will remind you to hydrate in-between your passive aggressive emails.
5. This Fitbit Versa, which can go FOUR DAYS without a charge.
6. This water fountain, because no matter how often you refresh your cat's water bowl, they're still not tempted to finish it.
7. This Sensori + Macedon Trail Detoxifying Mist that smells like a walk in an Australian forest after rain — and will literally improve the quality of the air around you.
8. This smart ceramic mug that will ensure your bean juice always stays warm.
9. This wood-look alarm clock that simulates dusk as a way of lulling you to sleep and sunrise to wake you — because you can't be productive if you wake on the wrong side of the bed.
10. This eyeliner stamp, because whoever invented the winged-eye look was just setting us up for failure.
11. This Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2, which will withstand anything you throw at it — including water!
12. This magic double-sided tape that sticks to everything and can be washed and reused, time and time again.
13. This drain snake that will unclog the hair that has been building up since you've been sprouting follicles on top of your head.
14. These blemish patches, which protect your acne from bacteria as it heals.
15. This electric hand warmer, for when gloves just won't cut it.
16. This Tile Mate device, because if you're like me, you can't trust your memory to remember where you last put down your keys.
17. These armpit pads that will keep your sweat from staining your shirts.
18. These Sound PEATS wireless earbuds, because I've been wanting to make the move to wireless but have been turned off by competitors' prices.
19. And finally, this digital meat thermometer, because though I am a grown ass adult, I still don't know how to cook a medium rare steak.
Me, to every one of these items' inventors.
