    24 Multi-Use Items That'll Probably Blow Your Mind

    They can do it all.

    1. A pair of chic tortoiseshell glasses that'll transform into sunglasses when you step outside, so you'll never need to pack an extra pair of sunnies (which, let's be real, you always forget anyways).

    2. A colander bowl that's a strainer on one side and a bowl on the other. The holes extra small, so you'll even be able to rinse quinoa or strain nut milk.

    3. A hair catcher that'll turn into a drain stopper with the press of a button. It'll save you the small (but annoying) task of switching between your hair catcher and stopper when you go from shower to bath.

    4. This multitool hair clip that'll come in handy when you're in a pinch. It has a serrated cutting edge, a tiny ruler, a wrench, two screwdrivers and a shopping cart "coin"—talk about versatile!

    5. A secret kitty litter pot that'll look like less of an eyesore than a regular box. It comes with a fake plant, if you don't want to deal with the maintenance of the real thing.

    6. A water bottle with a secret mist button that'll keep you cool as a cucumber this summer. It's also insulated, so it'll keep your water icy cold for longer.

    7. A convertible bench that can can swiftly fold up into a table when it's time to dine. If you buy two, you can push them together to get a full picnic table.

    8. A foldable cutting board that'll help you dump all your veggies in the pan, instead of dropping them all over the kitchen. The design also makes it super easy to store, since it can slip into the smallest of drawers.

    9. The Echo Dot that'll answer all of your random questions. It's basically a pint-sized virtual assistant that'll tell you the weather, play your favourite songs, and remind you about that birthday that you would’ve forgotten about otherwise.

    10. These magnetic bookmarks that'll actually help you mark off the last word you read, instead of just the page. They're also great for snapping important documents up on the fridge or as paper clips.

    11. A toilet paper holder that'll store a few extra rolls, so you're not stuck in a ~shitty~ situation. It also has a tiny table top, so you can put your phone down.

    12. A little multitool doohickey that'll solve all your random little problems — it works as a box cutter, bottle opener, wrench, ruler, and flat head screw driver. It's small enough to clip onto your keychain and bring with you, wherever you might need it.

    13. A silicone spatula whisk that'll help you scrape up every last drop of batter when you're baking, so you're not left rinsing half of it down the drain.

    14. A 3-in-1 portable fan that can also be used as a power bank and a flashlight. Reviewers love using it for travel and say that while it might look small, it's powerful. The battery can power the fan for up to 21 hours!

    15. A bag hook (that doubles as a bangle!) that’s designed to hook onto practically any surface, flat or not. That means you no longer have to put you purse down on icky public bathroom floors.

    16. The Tile Slim, that'll help you find your wallet or purse, if you're always misplacing them. The cool thing is, you can actually use it the other way around and find your phone with just a click!

    17. A unique snack bowl that'll prop up your phone, if you like to watch movies while you eat. It has an inner vessel, so you can discard shells or scraps if you're eating food like nuts.

    18. A penguin freshener that'll keep your fridge from smelling funky. It's heat resistant, so you can also fill it with vinegar and water to give your microwave a deep steam clean.

    19. A no-touch door opener keychain that'll open doors and click on touch pads, without you having to get your fingers dirty (because if we've all learned something in the past year, it's that public surfaces are pretty freakin' nasty).

    20. A mini fridge that'll keep your skin products or drinks cold. It doubles as a warming unit, so you can also use it to keep your leftovers from getting cold.

    21. A storage frame that'll let you display your little ones (or your own) masterpieces, while storing all of their past artwork in one place. Let that art venture beyond the fridge!

    22. A shower head attachment that'll turn washing your pet or baby into a task that doesn't flood your bathroom. It also has a jet function that'll help you easily clean your tub (or your butt).

    23. A pack of museum putty that'll hold pretty much anything in place so it doesn't get knocked over. Reviewers say it lets them have nice things in the house without worrying about their pet or tots playing Godzilla.

    24. And lastly, these silicone mats that will keep you from burning your fingertips off and your house down. You can use them for hair styling tools, in the kitchen, or even to get a grip when opening a jar.
