    31 Practical Things From Target That’ll Help You Feel Like More Of An Adult In 2022

    This is the year you finally invest in the perfect dish drying rack, I just know it.

    1. A six-piece bath towel set, because who couldn't use a towel upgrade, especially ones made of premium Turkish cotton?

    2. A Mrs. Meyer's scent sachet for 60 days of delightful fragrance with truly no effort. When you were a kid and found a sachet in a drawer, you knew you were at a grown-up's house. Time to pick up the torch.

    3. A Marshall Bluetooth speaker that boasts over 20 hours of crystal clear playtime so you can rock out around the house on something other than your tinny phone speakers.

    4. A pack of adhesive cable clips to stick on your desk, wall, or end table for finally — FINALLY — getting your cords out of that Rat King-esque clump and into working order.

    5. An electric wine bottle opener, because breaking a cork is a huge bummer reminiscent of being 21, and it's a mistake that can be avoided with this handy little gadget.

    6. A Mr. Coffee iced coffee maker so you can save some money by skipping the coffee shop yet still enjoy your favorite iced bean-juice every morning. A win for the budget!

    7. A Tile Pro to attach to anything you don't want to lose. Your keys, wallet, or even cat are now much easier to locate, so no need to brush up on keeping track of things after all.

    8. An extendable drying rack that's much better looking than your rusty old wire one and will be more functional in your space, to boot.

    9. A set of chic stoneware plates to make even the most basic at-home dining experience feel like you're eating at the hippest restaurant in town. Plating is everything, people.

    10. A set of two wall-mounted gold planters designed in collaboration with Jungalow, for making all of your plant bb's dreams come true. You're such a good plant parent :')

    11. A bathtub caddy, because keeping your bath soaps, oils, and other bath accessories in a sleek holder is much more adult than letting them sit sadly on the tub ledge.

    12. A classic zippered backpack so you can tote around all of your belongings hands-free and in style. Time to upgrade that high school backpack you've been holding onto.

    13. A pair of super-absorbent Thinx period underwear so you can ditch the disposable bulky pads of the past in exchange for a wearable, eco-friendly, leak-free solution.

    14. A two-tier lazy Susan for making your favorite condiments, spices, oils, and other pantry items easier to access. No more reaching shoulder deep into a messy pantry just to find chili oil. Heck yeah.

    15. A Dyson V10 stick vacuum, because being an adult is being thrilled you have an easier, cooler way to pick up everyday messes.

    16. An adjustable lap desk so you can go from working in bed practically laying down with your laptop on your stomach to working in bed sitting at a lil' desk. Growth!

    17. A bottle of lavender-scented shea body lotion to keep your skin nice and hydrated all season long. Caring for your skin is caring for yourself!

    18. A wooden modular vanity organizer for giving your bathroom counters a cool, finished look. It even has a magnetic strip inside of it so your bobby pins and hair clips will always be at the ready (and off your floor).

    19. An expandable hard-shell carry-on suitcase with four spinner wheels and a built-in lock to bring your luggage firmly into adulthood with you. RIP, soccer camp duffel bag. You will not be forgotten.

    20. A silk pillowcase for keeping your hair protected and tangle-free as you snooze. Plus, it just feels oh-so luxurious.

    21. A weekly planner to keep your days organized and to-do list on track. And because it has write-in dates, you can feel free to only use it for months that are truly busy and not let any pages go unused like you might with a normal calendar.

    22. A wire utility rack so your cleaning supplies have a more permanent location than *leaned up against whatever wall you were near when you last swept.*

    23. A classic Swiffer kit with wet and dry cloths, because if you haven't tried this little wonder yet, don't wait another minute. I'll be the first to admit I'd be living in filth if it weren't for my Swiffer — give it a try!

    24. A little alarm clock, because if you're anything like me, sometimes the phone alarm just doesn't cut it. Or, um, you forget to charge your phone, it dies, and your alarm never goes off. This alarm clock is a sure thing.

    25. A 30-piece kitchen utensil set to ensure you always have *just* the tool you need for any cooking job. From measuring to mixing to flipping, consider all of your kitchen tasks complete.

    31. A faucet filtration system, because your empty filtered pitcher is giving you away! With a filter faucet nobody will know you only filled that thing up two, maybe three times and otherwise it sat in the fridge.
