1. An iced coffee maker because who wants to spend all summer drinking *hot* coffee? I have one and it's so easy to use: just add grounds, water, then ice, and in under five minutes you'll have enough sweet pick-me-up java to keep you caffeinated for days!
2. A Soap & Glory makeup remover reviewers say is an equally effective and way less irritating alternative to Clinique's "Take the Day Off" cleansing balm. It's also a whopping 60% cheaper. Getting makeup off is a pain, but it shouldn't be painful for your face — or wallet!
3. A handheld garment steamer to remove wrinkles from your clothes right on the hanger, without the hassle of an iron and ironing board.
4. A deep seat cushion in a rad black and white print, to protect your delicate backside from accidentally getting burned on metal bleachers. It's also a nifty tool to make hard chairs and stools more comfortable, or to make seating more accessible for you if you or someone you care about has back pain.
5. An inexpensive drawer organizer for anyone who's ever been annoyed shuffling through a drawer for several minutes trying to find the one remaining clean spoon. It'll keep your flatware organized and at the ready for your eating pleasure. It's dishwasher safe and more bacteria-resistant than bamboo or whatever pressboard Ikea was using when they manufactured your cabinets.
6. A rollout under-the-sink organizer with nifty features like wheels and movable dividers, so you always have easy access to your cleaning supplies, spare toiletries, medicines, and anything else that's natural state is cabinet chaos.
7. An affordable 1080p projector because TVs are expensive and just sit there in one spot all the time. Easy to move and equipped with Wi-Fi streaming, this bad boy connects to your phone, game console, and speakers without the hassle of wires and dongles.
8. A gentle foaming facial cleanser that's truly 100% free of fragrances, alcohol, parabens, and silicone, as well as common allergens like gluten and propylene glycol. If you've been struggling to find a sensitive skin facial cleanser that actually works, stop looking — this is the one.
9. An LED umbrella light to illuminate your yard without a power outlet, and finally solve the infamous problem of how to evenly light up an outdoor table when you have a big pole sticking out the middle of it.
10. A vacuum sealer so you can extend the shelf life of meats, veggies, and pantry staples while saving money and reducing food waste. It keeps food preserved up to five times longer by sucking all the air out and heat-sealing special plastic bags. People get really into it, but lucky for all you novice freshness fanatics, it comes with two rolls of bags to get you started.
11. An old-fashioned safety razor I've used and like more than the others I've tried because the texture on the handle is surprisingly easy to hold, even when it's covered in shaving cream. It uses standard two-sided razor blades, which are cheaper than plastic cartridges and more environmentally friendly too.
12. A four-piece set of food-safe organizing bins because there's nothing more therapeutic than an organized refrigerator, countertop, pantry, or closet. It comes with two wide and two slim bins that are super durable and clear for easy viewing.
13. A combination socket shelf and surge protector to keep your devices safely off the floor and protected from unexpected power fluctuations while you're charging. It also converts a standard two-socket outlet into a six socket miracle AND comes with two USB ports to power up even if you don't have a brick on hand.
14. A George Foreman smokeless electric grill and panini press with a sloped nonstick cooking surface that drains the grease off before it has a chance to burn. It's safe to use indoors or outdoors, and has temperature control for precise grilling perfection.
15. A keyboard and laptop stand with adjustable height and tilt, to work from the couch or bed or seated on the floor without hunching over awkwardly. And, if you feel limited by your current desk's height, you can turn it into a standing desk.
16. A leave-in conditioner from TGIN (a Black-owned business!) that uses the near-magical anti-dryness properties of honey and olive oil to get your hair happy and hydrated again, while also detangling with avocado and jojoba oils. Reviewers with naturally curly hair swear by it.
17. A softening oil for hair and skin that helps prevent irritation from dryness and the inevitable (and oh-so-annoying) post-shave rash, when those suckers start to grow in and your skin is just not having it.
18. A smart Bluetooth water bottle that blinks and glows to remind you to drink because it tracks your hydration through a phone app.
19. A faucet filtration system that removes 99% of lead, chlorine, benzine, asbestos, and particulates from your tap water. Use it to replace the equivalent of 1,800 16.9-ounce bottles of water, per replaceable filter — not to mention the 1,400+ gallons of water it would have taken to produce all that bottled water!
20. A silicone baking mat reviewers swear is just as good as a Silpat, for 60% less. It fits right into a standard cookie sheet, and any mess that gets on it stays there instead of soaking through, so it can be washed right off. It's so much easier than spending interminable prune-handed minutes prying off burnt-on bits and stubborn sauce stains.
21. A combination hair dryer and detangler because getting your hair just right is so time-consuming. This will cut that time waaaaay down. Sleep longer, get places earlier, and save yourself the aggravation of having hot air blowing in your face for like an hour every time you get out of the shower. Sounds like a win to me.
22. A menstrual cup that's easy to use even if you're a beginner and could save you a lot of money on tampons and pads that would just end up in the garbage anyway. It folds easily, has a flattened bit on the side to show you where to place your finger while you hold it, and the bottom narrows in a way that makes it easy to remove.
23. A container lid organizer to save space in your cupboards, and also save ~you~ from the aggravation of having to paw through a huge pile of different lids and try several that don't fit, before giving up and resigning yourself to dried-out leftovers.
24. A five-tier pants hanger so your jeans and leggings collection takes up a little less space in your closet. Also, it's so much easier to find the right pair when they're hanging, instead of having to dig through a drawer (inevitably crumpling everything in the process).
25. A bathtub drain protector to keep your hair and whatever else gets in there out of your easily-clogged, difficult-to-repair bath drainpipe.
26. A slim rolling utility cart that's sized to fit perfectly between your washer and dryer, so you can store your laundry supplies right where you need them even if you don't have room for a full-on cabinet.
27. A cloth-upholstered storage ottoman that's double the usual size and a worthy adversary for the mountain of blankets and throw pillows that have been slowly taking over your sofa for months.
28. A pet stain and odor eliminator – it uses enzymes to breakdown all the foul stuff that causes urine and other stains to linger. A lot of people say this one worked where others didn't, to make their floors, furniture, and fabrics pristine.
29. A wire dish rack that goes inside your sink to dry dishes without them touching the sink itself. Reviewers compliment the sturdy metal construction and that it's easier to clean than the plastic version.
30. A pair of shortalls in case you still haven't found that one "I wanna wear it all the time" summer outfit yet.
31. A propane-fueled patio heater to keep your party going even when summer nights turn chilly.
You, to all the messes that used to be under your cabinets, all over the couch, and baked onto your ovenware:
... awww, c'mon. This is a big change! Didn't you miss wrinkled clothes, spending hours every week blow drying your hair, or all those old urine stains in the carpet... at least at first?
You sure?
