    32 Useful Products People Actually Said They Wished They'd Known About Sooner

    Little problem-solvers that are basically genius.

    1. A pack of LED dimming sheets because your computer charger, internet router, and other electronics have exactly zero business keeping you awake (or even just annoying you) with their overly bright lights.

    2. A seat gap filler for when you're tired of accidentally dropping your phone down in the crack of no return for the two-thousandth-time in the past year.

    3. A reusable silicone zip bag because you can use it to pack snacks and sandwiches, steam veggies in the microwave, and even seal up sous vide (if you're fancy enough to cook like that).

    4. A wood polish and conditioner that practically erases damage as if it was never there, like your antique beside tables that have had one too many water glasses sweat on them overnight.

    5. A powerful no-rinse stain remover — it can conquer almost any seemingly-impossible mess you throw at it. Simply spritz it on, wait a second, then blot it up to see the stain truly vanish like magic.

    6. A pack of fizzing tablets for easily deep cleaning even the most built-up layers of coffee and tea stains. They're like an ultra-powerful bath bomb for your stainless steel travel mugs.

    7. A bottle of jetted tub cleaner because over the years those pipes get coated in soap, dead skin cells, and all kinds of other gunk that you definitely don't want keeping you company in your relaxing bath.

    8. The Diamond Dazzle Stick, which you gently brush onto your diamond, sapphire, emerald, and other precious-gem rings for a sparkling clarity worthy of a professional cleaning.

    9. A universal fit–hair catcher for your drain that stops those gross built-up clogs from forming in the first place. Which means you (or those you share a bathroom with) can freely rinse any shed hair to the drain with no worries about clogs, instead of sticking clumps of hair to the wall and leaving 'em there for far too long.

    10. A pocketed shower curtain liner that, besides keeping the water inside your shower where it belongs, can hold ALL of your stuff (yes, even if you have a ton of it) BEHIND your pretty shower curtain, removing it from the edges of the tub where it's an eyesore. And with the bottles off the ledges, your bathroom will be extra simple to wipe down on cleaning day, too.

    11. A silverware sorter that takes up half the space of a traditional organizer, so you can use the rest of the drawer to store so much more.

    12. A pair of headrest hooks — you'll finally have the perfect spot to put your purse or shopping bags when you have other passengers in the car, plus they'll make sure your bag doesn't go cascading to the floor when you sharply turn or brake.

    13. A fabric shaver so you can eliminate all the pills leftover on your sweaters so they look brand new. Then that will be so satisfying you'll turn to your couch, sweatpants, and/or any other pilled fabric you can find to de-fuzz.

    14. Some O'Keeffe's working hands cream because it genuinely does what it says it will: moisturize and repair dried, cracked hands that you've washed in hot water one two many times, so they finally stop flaking and peeling.

    15. A brown sugar bear, so you don't lose any more bags of previously perfectly good brown sugar to the curse of rock-hard-solidificiation (and in fact can revive any brown sugar already in that sorry state!).

    16. A mini white noise machine with non-looping audio so you can finally get the solid night's sleep you deserve, construction and neighbor noises be damned.

    17. A pack of hydrocolloid acne patches to suck out a bunch of the oil and gunk lurking in your zits until they basically disappear, or at least have been somewhat diminished.

    18. A jar of Coty Airspun setting powder so you can basically quadruple the amount of time you have to go between touch-ups, or maybe even live the dream of putting on makeup *once* and never touching it again until it's time to take it off at night.

    19. A bitter-tasting, completely clear polish to help you knock out that nail biting habit you developed in middle school (thanks, puberty anxiety). It could also help your kiddo break their thumb-sucking habit — habits are hard enough to break as an adult, and even more difficult when you're a toddler!

    20. An antiperspirant lotion specifically formulated to prevent excess sweating in your hands and feet, whatever it is that triggers yours.

    21. An easy-to-use fridge coffee maker that transforms regular old ground coffee into delicious cold brew concentrate overnight, because every season is iced coffee season in your book and it just might pay for itself after a couple of weeks if you currently go to your chain spot every single day.

    22. A pack of 100 oil-blotting tissues perfect for a mid-day touch up so you can quickly soak up any excess and get back to living / working / doing whatever you were doing without blinking an eye.

    23. A bottle of cold-pressed, certified-organic rosehip oil, which can help reduce both acne and dry patches and overall just brighten your entire complexion, no matter your skin type.

    24. A rapid egg cooker because it lets you cook two scrambled/poached eggs *or* half a dozen hard-boiled eggs to perfection, so you can actually like, eat a healthy-ish breakfast (or even meal-prep a few!) without spending ages over a hot stove.

    25. A handheld knife sharpener because slicing and dicing is much easier, faster, and (most importantly!) safer if your knife is actually sharp, and this will do the job in just a few swipes.

    26. A three-in-one avocado tool that will definitely be helpful if you eat at least one avocado a week — you'll be able to cut it open, pit it, then slice each half into seven even pieces before you can say "toast".

    27. A splatter screen to stop the grease from bacon (or steak, potstickers, or anything else you need to cook uncovered) in its tracks, so it doesn't coat your stove, clothes, and counter in a thin sheen.

    28. The Tidy Cup, a handy little invention that catches all those excess little drips your mega-sized laundry detergent + softener bottles like to leave for you to discover on your shelves or floor later.

    29. And a set of rubber anti-vibration pads designed to stop your washer from making a racket (sometimes rocking itself forward several disturbing inches) each and every time it runs the spin cycle.

    30. The Furminator if you have a dog who constantly sheds and / or seems to be molting their summer coat to grow their winter one. This will extract a bunch of hair your doggo might have otherwise left all over your sofa, your clothes, and your bed, and deposit it in the trash in one fell swoop.

    31. A set of anti-chafe lace bands that'll let you walk in your dresses all day without a single peep from your thighs.

    32. The Sidewinder, which is designed to tame your unruly MacBook cable so it stays nice and neat whether it's in your bag or under your desk. It can wind both ends up into its circle in less than five seconds!
