1. A manicure tool that'll help you *get a grip* as you lather on a fresh coat of nail polish. The cushion helps steady your nondominant hand and prevent it from shaking for an ultra smooth application, so you can get a dope salon-worthy mani-pedi look without the cost. The tool works on a variety of nail polish bottle tops so you can experiment with bold colors and intricate patterns and (re)create some truly inspired nail art a la Maddy in Euphoria.
2. A wireless Bluetooth keyboard that lets you type anywhere, so you can hammer out that presentation from your couch, on your tablet poolside, or using your phone at a local café. It's compact lightweight frame allows for pain-free portability and lets you stay on top of your class and meeting notes. My fave feature? The keyboard supports up to three devices, so you can toggle between your phone, tablet, and laptop with the touch of a button.
3. A digital luggage scale because you HAD to purchase that authentic Italian leather trench coat with the shearling lining during your week in Florence... and now you need to get it back home. Use this gadget before flying to make sure your luggage is under the 50-pound mark so you can avoid those annoying overweight fees and enjoy la dolce vita wherever you travel.
4. A super cute pouch clutch that's so on-trend, no one would ever suspect it's also the perfect toiletries bag. Stash your after-gym essentials like a soothing face wash, tinted moisturizer, and a travel brush to make sure those post-workout gym selfies look on point. Make it aesthetic and practical and the girlies are going to be there.
5. A reversible battery-heated scarf to protect ya neck when that winter chill comes swinging. The cozy weatherproof fleece keeps you toasty during the course of all your outdoor activities — whether you're slaying it on the ice skating rink, running up that (snowy) hill, or simply braving the gray slush to conquer your To-Do list. Best part? It has pockets!
6. A cleaner ideal for giving your outdoor space an HGTV-worthy makeover and eliminating algae, mildew, moss, and mold in one shockingly easy step. Simply spray on the offensive sidewalk, retaining wall, stone slabs, or fencing, and let it do its thing — no scrubbing, power-washing, or rinsing required. This product has a legion of devoted TikTok fans that swear it works miracles.
7. An ice cream maker ideal for serving dreamy soft-girl ~aesthetics~ and delicious vegan chocolate ice-cream in 20 minutes or less. Make root beer floats with strawberry ice cream, pile chocolate-chip soft-serve atop a gooey warm brownie or use a scoop of vanilla for apple pie a la mode. You can even create a personalized birthday cake for your hunny stuffed with freshly made raspberry sorbet. Who said you couldn't have your ice cream cake and eat it too?
8. A glare-reducing, disinfecting desk lamp made to protect your peepers and cast a light on your brilliant insights while safeguarding you from that relentless flu outbreak. The SpectraClean light disinfects your desktop with the click of a button, killing harmful bacteria on handheld devices and sanitizing gadgets while you work. The light also boasts a brilliant low-glare function that lessens eyestrain up to 51% by mirroring the effects of natural daylight.
9. A pair of black drip pans made to catch saucy spills AND give your tired chrome stovetop a sleek update in one easy step. The glossy porcelain makes cleanup a breeze while the dark color camouflages unsightly burn stains, buying you some time between deep cleaning sessions (or that hasty wipe-down dance heralded by unexpected dinner guests). The protective covering also catches those maddening crumbs that fall into the stove (my white whale) and attract unwanted pests.
10. A pair of microfiber scrunchies to cut down on drying time. Wrap the oversized scrunchie around your gorgeous mane and let it work its magic as you get ready (and skip the wet T-shirt contest courtesy of your damp tresses). They're great for soft-launching your morning routine and reducing heat styling time. Reviewers claim they also reduce breakage and help fight the good fight. (Frizz is public enemy #1.)
11. A wine holder so you can decompress after a long day with a steaming hot shower and a chilled glass of Sancerre. This is a great addition for smaller bathrooms that lack an adequate surface area to safely rest a glass, and perfect for doing your hair before a special night out. The silicone holder securely grips to flat, shiny surfaces and can be easily removed —without leaving icky residue behind.
12. A waterproof phone pouch perfect for protecting your smartphone against the wildest elements, be it the torrential rains lashing the mountainside campsite or your sorority sisters' lakeside boat antics. The pouch can be submerged for up to 100 feet, which make this a must-have accessory for beach trips! Go ahead, take it snorkeling with the girls through the cenotes in Tulúm and snap the most enviable insta pics.
13. A sunrise alarm clock for a gentler, more pleasant startup to your day than being jolted awake by a screeching alarm clock. Reviewers say this is a game changer for night owls. A programmable lighting option works with your circadian rhythm to slowly rouse you awake by emulating the sun's morning rays, leaving you feeling rested and refreshed.
14. An angled measuring cup made to solve problems you didn't even know you had. The sturdy, lightweight plastic construction features an angled display that allows you to measure from above, which is great for righties AND lefties. The red rubber grip protects against accidental slippage (and subsequent spills on a formerly clean floor). The measurements lists conversions, so you can give Alexa a night off from asking "how many ounces to a cup?"
15. A baby-hair slicker that'll squash flyaways and tame your tresses for that hyper coveted clean-girl aesthetic that's all over TikTok.
16. A set of sea bands made to naturally alleviate nausea through acupuncture so you can leave behind the unwelcome guest crashing your weeklong cruise: nausea. The cushioned bands exert gentle pressure on your wrists to curtail nausea caused by travel, motion-sickness, chemotherapy, and more. It's also great for abating morning sickness for moms-to-be!
17. A Lego orchid so you can finally quit trying to get that stubborn white orchid to rebloom. (Invest that energy in watching yourself grow instead.)
18. A cat food cover with three built-in sizes to keep your fridge smelling like... well, anything but cat food.
19. A dino-shaped NACHOsaurus snack and dip bowl set for tickling your lizard brain with some *cheesy* fun. The set promises to be a monstrous hit on your next movie night, and holds everything from crinkle-cut potato chips to buttery theater popcorn and salted pretzels so you can go feral and devour popcorn from the couch as they serve you seconds. (Clever girl.)
20. A sturdy carrying case for peace of mind when traveling because no one should experience the soul-crushing disappointment of excitedly unzipping their suitcase, only to be greeted with the sight (and smell) of shattered glass and expensive perfume all over their favorite clothes. It's also great for organizing and protecting delicate jewelry from unsightly bends.
21. A set of LED strip lights for the ultimate bedroom ~glow-up.~ Create an upscale aesthetic by placing them under the TV or behind the cabinets and liven up your home space with a kaleidoscope of colors and a whole lotta *ambiance.* You can switch up the vibe by selecting the color that suits your mood with the touch of a button. It features a motion-sensor to confirm what you always knew: that you light up a room.
22. A set of wood markers that'll breathe new life into your battered wood furniture and floors. I use this to mask the light scratches on my mango wood tabletop and conceal the scuffs on my stained mahogany dresser caused by daily wear-and-tear. It even hides the blemishes on my desk's legs (courtesy of a teething puppy) and costs way less than a new piece of furniture. They really do the trick!
23. A clever cocktail shaker ideal for crafting bespoke concoctions at your fancy dinner party (penguin suit optional).
24. A tile tracker ideal for locating your house keys when you're rushing to get out the door and your keychain is MIA. They're also great for keeping tabs on valuables that are costly to replace, like AirPods and wallets, or finding household items that are prone to disappearing acts, like remote controls. Simply open the app and wait for the beep. (Someone else must have left them on top of the fridge.)
25. An air purifier that'll get rid of unwelcome smells so you can reap the rewards of a cleaner home without even trying. This clever device eradicates unpleasant scents from the air —like smoke and pet odor— and picks up allergens that your regular Hoover might miss, like pollen, pet dander, mold spores, dust, and environmental impurities. You can continue living like a heathen and no one would be the wiser (at least scent-wise).
26. An incredible sponge cloth to finally replace your dependence on paper towels with an eco-friendly option. (Yay!) The magical cloths do everything paper towels can do and more: remove dirt and dust, absorb spills, wipe down furniture, TVs, sinks, bathrooms, toilets — you name it! One pack of three saves up to 45 rolls of paper towels, so you can do your part to help Mama Earth (while saving a little $$ on the side).
