1. An ice cream koozie so you can eat as much of your favorite pint as you want without your fingers getting cold OR your ice cream melting too quickly.
2. A pair of sexy lace bands to stop that thigh chafe we all dread right in its tracks.
3. A pair of charcoal shoe deodorizers that can suck the moisture out of your sweaty shoes after a long day on your feet, making them *much* less hospitable to those bacteria that cause that unwelcome stench.
4. Or an odor eliminator spray to eradicate stink on pretty much anything that's dealt with lots of dried sweat: shoes, sports equipment, mattresses, gym clothes, and more.
5. A jar of the cult-favorite Aztec Secret Bentonite Clay Mask for cleansing your pores and helping banish your acne bit by bit.
6. A dip and sauce holder that clips to your car vents because you deserve to enjoy your fries exactly the way you like them, even if you're the one stuck driving.
7. A pack of fizzing cleaning tablets — you drop them into almost any seemingly-permanently-stained travel travel mug, slow cooker, or stainless water bottle to banish those stains without scrubbing even one little bit.
8. An eyeliner with a wing stamp that reviewers swear actually makes it possible to get a nice, neat, even wings in just a couple of minutes without being a professional makeup artist.
9. A cutting board with seven mats each labeled for a specific purpose, making it easy to swap out for a clean mat when you're done prepping the beef and want to switch to slicing bread.
10. A pack of 50 slimline hangers because they'll instantly create extra inches on your closet rod — you don't even have to get rid of any clothes. Plus they're non-slip so even the silkiest spaghetti straps stay put.
11. The Swear Word Coloring Book so you can relax and feel like you made something ~nice~ despite an especially stressful day.
12. Some cozy fleece headphones because you deserve to *comfortably* listen to white noise or music while you doze without disturbing your S.O./roommate/airplane seat mates.
13. A drain millipede that will finally help you tackle the hair-and-slime-monster who's been blocking up your sink and shower drains for far too long by extracting it from the depths of your pipes.
14. And a silicone drain cover to catch every last bit of hair *before* it can even begin to clog up your pipes.
15. A copy of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (aka Marie Kondo's book) if one of your goals for the new year is to get rid of the stuff you don't need — or even just the clothes you don't wear.
16. The thick and moisturizing Bliss Body Butter so you don't have to suffer through dry skin on your hands, elbows, or pretty much anywhere on your body no matter how much indoor heat dries out your skin in the winter.
17. A non-stick oven liner that'll be MUCH easier to clean than the charred floor of your oven when your weekend baking experiment gets a little *too* wild.
18. A bug catcher so you can stand at a distance, grab the pesky little guy without injuring him, then take him outside and release him safely somewhere that isn't your bathroom.
19. And a bug bite suction tool — it lets you gently extract at least some of the pesky venom that makes the bite itch, so even if the bite doesn't go away completely, you don't feel such an urge to scratch.
20. A microfiber hair towel that soaks up more water faster than regular terrycloth, so your hair always dries more quickly than normal, whether you blow-dry or air-dry.
21. A fabric shaver — you shouldn't throw out a sweater, throw, pillow, chair, or any other piece of fabric just because it's started to pill! This easily pinches off those pesky little buggers to make your fabrics look brand new.
22. A foam kitchen sponge that seriously lasts for months (and months, and months) on end without getting stinky, no matter how many dishes you wash.
23. An umbrella to end your search for the best umbrella forever: it's teflon-coated, fortified against rogue wind gusts so it almost never turns inside-out, automatically opens and closes at the touch of a button, weighs less than a pound, and has a lifetime. replacement. guarantee. (No questions asked, no returns necessary.)
24. A set of cleaning brushes that attach to your drill — they're ready to bust through any tough grime around your home, from the caked-on grease on your stovetop to the layers of mineral buildup in your tub.
25. Some high-fidelity, nearly-invisible earplugs designed to cut down on the decibels during all your favorite concerts (or exercise classes) so your hearing stays protected without completely muffling the music's clarity and sound quality.
26. Did You Feed The Dog, a switch pad to make sure your pups (or kitties, or fish) can't ever trick multiple humans into feeding them two breakfasts and three dinners.
27. A set of two toothpaste squeezers — you paid for every last ounce of product in that tube, and these will help ya actually use it all.
28. A can of Bar Keeper's Friend powder cleanser to scrub off even the most impossible stains you never thought would come up, even with hardcore elbow grease.
29. And the specialty Bar Keeper's Friend cooktop cleanser because it easily eliminates the built-up residue on shower doors *and* the burnt-on grime on glass cooktops.
30. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet (or one with dogs, or one with a unicorn) so you — and everyone you live with — never puts well-rinsed but still-dirty dishes back in the cabinets again.
31. A dishes squeegee — you'll clean excess food off of plates in half the time it takes to rinse them, *plus* save water in the process.
32. A set of bedsheet fasteners because TBH there's no need to put up with a fitted sheet that always slips off the mattress in the middle of the night.
33. A blinds duster that makes this chore extra efficient — it clamps down on two blinds at once, ridding each of dust on top and bottom as you go.
34. A cute little brown sugar bear who just wants to keep your brown sugar perfectly moist, so you never find yourself hacking at an impenetrable rock, hoping to bake cookies.
35. A pack of oil blotting sheets that are basically essentials for all of us oily-skinned people who don't want to wash our faces four times a day.
36. A pair of heel inserts to finally give your feet the arch support they so deeply crave, and potentially even relieve your plantar fasciitis.
37. A headlight restoration kit that uses the power of your drill to polish up your car's peepers to a sparkling shine that can rival the day it first drove off the lot.
38. Some dog nail clippers that almost anyone can use successfully without causing your pup undue distress, because they're sharp enough to actually cut through nails *and* have an adjustable safety stop help avoid cutting them too short.
39. An oven thermometer because if everything you bake always comes out over- or under-done, it's probably your oven's fault, not yours — this shows you the actual temp, not the temp your oven *thinks* it is.
40. An all-in-one wood cleanser and polish to transport any water- or heat- or pet-damaged furniture back to its former glory with just a coat or two.
