    36 Things You Won't Believe You've Survived This Long Without

    But now that you know better, you can do better.

    1. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste so no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner. This can also remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!

    2. An eight-second lamellar rinse-out treatment from L'Oreal for shinier, healthier, and silkier hair in, well, eight seconds.

    3. A skin-repairing body oil chock-full of natural oils to help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Its skin renewal formula may also help get rid of acne scars, surgery scars, and so much more!

    Just make sure to use sunscreen with this since it can make you a bit more sensitive to the sun.

    Promising review: "Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it as a twice a day — morning and before I go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see notice the changes. I am 71 years old. No one paid me to write this." —Amazon Customer

    4. A personalized vaccine passport if you're having a hard time keeping your vaccination card, passport, wallet, and credit cards neatly organized and easily accessible.

    5. A pack of two flexible dryer vent cleaners because there's likely a bunch of trapped lint causing your clothes to still come out kinda damp. Use this to get all that fuzz out, which will also help to prevent dryer fires!

    6. A high-speed Shark air purifier with a powerful HEPA filter that'll help rid your home of allergens, dander, odor, and dust, so you can breathe easier. It'll even track your air quality and adjust to maintain clean air in your home.

    7. Glisten garbage disposal cleaner — it'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drainpipe odors.

    8. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. Because if a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.

    9. An Oral-B rechargeable electric toothbrush for easy and consistent fresh breath *and* bright smiles! Its oscillating and pulsating brush breaks up and removes waaaaaay more plaque than a regular toothbrush. About 300% more to be exact.

    10. A bottle of anti-fog treatment to help prevent your glasses from fogging up while wearing a face mask. Just apply one to two drops on your clean lenses and spread evenly with a soft cloth. Once they're done air-drying, you're good to go!

    Promising review: "I have used many different defoggers on my glasses in the past, all of them lacking. THIS defogger worked fantastically. It kept my glasses from getting foggy outside, inside, and when moving from inside to outside. I recommend this defogger to anyone looking to keep fog off of their glasses. Not only does it work, but it is reasonably priced. GREAT PRODUCT! So good I bought it twice so far and will buy it again." —J. Weston

    Get it from Amazon for $12.55.

    11. Downy Wrinkle Releaser fabric spray if you have no time, space, or energy to iron. That's not a problem! Just spray, tug, and hang to dry for wrinkle-free clothes in no time flat!

    12. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!

    13. A natural all-purpose cleaning paste that'll give your sinks, tile, and grout a long-lasting sparkle. It's even safe enough to soak your produce in!

    14. A pet hair remover so good you might not recognize your couch after just one use! And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...

    Promising review: "I am allergic to cats so here I am with two cats that shed like crazy. Their hair is covering all the furniture. I have special pet covers on my bed to protect my comforter but I hate having to sleep under it since my cats sleep on my bed. I have tried so many cat hair remover brushes, gloves, sponges that never worked. I was ready to shave the cats and call it a day. Then along comes the ChomChom brush. It not only has the lint roller but a bar that collects the hair. I love the little hairball container of the roller so I don't have to spend time cleaning off the lint brush. I can't believe this product works! I have an off-white couch and I didn't realize how much hair there was. After I used it, my couch looked lighter in color. I got my comforter cleaned off in minutes. It's a simple and inexpensive way to cure your pet hair woes." —Dondi

    15. A jar of Aquaphor's healing moisturizer for anyone suffering from dry, cracked, and sensitive skin. It restores moisture and promotes healing, so you can go back to living.

    16. A stainless-steel foot file and callus remover to get rid of tough skin and cracks with no effort at all. Dry, discolored skin? Not here!

    17. A pack of heel protectors because you shouldn't have to suffer the pangs of plantar fasciitis or cracked heels when you're just trying to live your life. These breathable, silicone cushions will help you stand on your feet for as long as you need.

    18. A versatile chopping device that'll also dice and grate veggies to your heart's content. Stop wasting time (and tears) chopping onions by hand.

    19. A bottle of dandruff shampoo formulated with ketoconazole so you can finally relieve and control flaking, scaling, and itching caused by dandruff. Clean and clear scalps for all!

    20. A eucalyptus and lavender shower pouch for sinus and congestion relief that'll also make your bathroom feel like a rejuvenating spa. Each eucalyptus leaf was hand cut and then sprayed with eucalyptus essential oil.

    21. A handheld mattress vacuum to suck up all the dust, dirt, and lint that's made a home on your bed over the past month. And its HEPA filter will get rid of 99.9% of tiny particles!

    22. A 7-in-1 Instant Pot because sometimes you don't have to actually be in the kitchen while you're cooking. And maybe you shouldn't be. Now you'll have rice, stew, pasta, and more without ever breaking a sweat.

    23. A set of bedsheet detanglers so you don't have to spend hours in the jungle of your laundry trying to not get devoured by fitted sheets. These will also ensure your sheets actually dry instead of coming out like a moist hair ball.

    Wad-Free is a woman-owned small business working to make sure your laundry day isn't in vain! After wasting time and energy on wadding problems, Cyndi invented Wad-Free for bedsheets.

    Promising review: "How have I lived without this invention? Washing sheets has always taken much longer than it should because the sheets get tangled together in a ball, or the pillow cases get lost inside the fitted sheet. Never mind washing other items with the sheets! Either way, it is rare not to have to put a few items back into the dryer because they are still completely damp. Putting the Wad-Free device on the sheets takes a bit of extra time, but I was amazed at how everything remained separate in both the wash and the dryer! Well worth the time to apply it and not have to waste time and energy to do additional drying. I am a fan and will be giving this as a gift to all my friends and family!!" —Aimee WW

    Get it from Wad-Free on Amazon for $18.99.

    24. A stainless-steel TubShroom famous for preventing massive hunks of hair and grime from growing and gaining sentience in our drains.

    25. A soy, hand-poured pet odor eliminating candle to fill your home with soft and soothing scents instead of, you know, kitty litter and wet pup.

    26. A pack of hydrocolloid acne patches if you need help keeping blemishes at bay. These ultra-thin, translucent patches will absorb pimple pus (yuck) to reveal acne-free skin (yay).

    27. A minimalist yet luxurious spa bidet from Tushy that'll allow you to adjust the water temperature for optimal tushy comfort and cleaning. You won't be able to go back to just regular ol' toilet paper ever again.

    28. A personalized daily notepad so you can keep track of your goals and priorities throughout the week because that email you're planning to send out tomorrow needed to be sent last week...

    29. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent anymore of your reds and blues from turning your whites into tie-dye creations. Just toss one of these into the wash and it'll soak up all loose dyes!

    32. A pack of dryer sheets that repel pet hair and lint so your favorite cotton sweater doesn't look like you got it for sale at a faux-fur shop. And because they're still dryer sheets, they'll also reduce wrinkles and static!

    33. An aromatherapy roll-on migraine stick made with a blend of soothing essential oils if you need help targeting those screen-induced headaches and desk-induced neck pains.

    34. A no-pull dog harness for curbing your pup's instinct to take you on a walk instead of the other way around.
