    49 Genius Products You'll Probably Want To Buy, Because, Well, They’re Genius

    A pan where everyone gets an end piece of brownie is actually the dictionary definition of the word "genius."

    1. A plant food spike that'll keep your plants fed for up to two months!

    2. A mold and mildew removal gel for making your bathroom surfaces look brand new. Mold and mildew are bound to happen, but there's no need to fret!

    3. A eucalyptus shower/bath pouch that'll help give you a spa experience right from the comfort of home. These may also help provide some relief from colds, congestions, and stress.

    4. Dishwasher cleaning tablets to clean the machine responsible for cleaning the things you use to eat. Dishwashers are naturally prone to buildup, but you don't wanna be naturally prone to eating with dishes and utensils not 101% clean.

    5. And while you're at it, you'll want to add this pack of washing machine cleaning tablets to your cart as well!

    6. A garbage disposal foaming cleaner that'll tackle built-up grime and those nasty smells you gag at every time you're near your kitchen sink. It's truly so... disgusting.

    7. A bug bite suction tool to help get rid of itchy bites. Kinda rude that little buggies get to munch on our skin and blood and we have to deal with itchiness after.

    8. Water bottle cleaning tablets that'll get your beloved water bottle back to the condition it was in when you first fell in love with it at the store.

    9. Acne patches you can apply to areas where you're breaking out. Let it sit overnight or throughout the day, peel it off, and watch it take all the pore-clogging gunk with it.

    10. A birthdate candle perfect for gifting to friends, family, and even yourself on that special day. Where are my fellow July 1st friends at?!

    11. Insect traps that'll catch little buggies who dare invade your potted plants at home. The thought of bugs freely crawling around the plants in MY house is enough to keep me awake at night, IDK about you!

    12. A jewelry cleaning pen so you don't have to spend too much time or energy on giving your beloved treasures the shine they deserve.

    13. A pumice cleaning stone that'll scratch away at those — TBH, pretty repulsive — toilet stains without leaving horrid scratch marks in the bowl.

    14. A jetted bathtub cleaner — just fill up your luxurious bath, add a quarter of the bottle, watch it work its magic by removing gross residue, and drain the tub to find it sparkly and clean.

    15. A Snuggle Puppy that's basically a miracle solution to helping ease your pup's loneliness and separation anxiety — it's especially perfect for those crate-training their furry bbs.

    16. A veggie chopper to quickly chop, slice, dice, and spiralize your produce — you thought meal prepping was tedious but now it's actually quite...enjoyable?!

    17. A wand wine filter that'll remove sulfates and histamines from your wine so you can enjoy your drink without worrying about a headache afterwards.

    18. A car vent face mask holder to provide a more organized, cleaner space in your vehicle to keep masks. Whether it's a mask you're already wearing while running errands, or just keeping some extra masks on-hand, this baby will be super useful.

    19. A false eyelash applicator that'll make the way-more-difficult-than-it-needs-to-be-task of applying falsies much quicker and easier than just using your fingers.

    20. Baker's Edge, a brownie pan to ensure each piece has at least two chewy edges, so fighting over the coveted end piece will become a thing of the past.

    21. A pack of vacuum bags for storing clothing you're not planning on wearing in a given season. These don't create the same amount of bulk other storage bags would, so they're good to store under your bed!

    22. A surface cover to transform your kitchen counters and tables into beautiful marble pieces.

    23. And while we're at it, some contact paper that'll make outdated appliances, drawers, shelves, cabinets, and more look like brand new stainless-steel pieces.

    24. A scalp conditioner from Taraji P. Henson's fabulous haircare line that does the most splendid job of hydrating, conditioning, softening, and aiding in hair regrowth on all hair types, but is especially great for textured hair. Plus, it features a tri-touch applicator to help you better target scalp areas, that I think every hair product should come with, TBH.

    25. A car diffuser to help give your vehicle a sweet scent. Am I the only one who is unreasonably excited at the thought about getting into my car and being greeted with the scent of fresh linens?

    30. A handy utensil that'll slice, core, and scoop melons. Stop buying it pre-cut! It's more expensive that way and this gadget will make cutting it up so much more simple. You're welcome!

    31. A Squatty Potty to start using every time you use the restroom. Squatting is actually better for your body than sitting!

    33. A split decision pie pan that'll prevent you from having to choose between two yummy pie recipes, because now you can make BOTH! Or if you just want one pie recipe, but know that making a whole pie will eventually go to waste, you can just make half of it!

    34. A zipper puller to make the near-impossible task of zipping up your dress by yourself SO EASY! FINALLY!

    35. A blending sponge set that comes wonderfully packaged the way all egg-shaped things should — in an egg carton, of course! While we love Beautyblender, we really love the fact that you get six sponges here for less than the price of one Beautyblender.

    39. A customizable shampoo and conditioner from Function of Beauty — all you have to do is fill out your hair profile, choose up to five hair #goalz, pick a fragrance and fragrance strength (or go fragrance-free!), select your colors and add a name, decide which size you'd like to order, and voila!
