    4. This fast-drying top coat creates a barrier over your manicure which prevents chipping for up to two weeks – trust me, I put it to the test!

    5. Speaking of barriers, these pre-poo sprays will create a protective layer over the surface of your toilet water to trap ~interesting~ smells before they can escape!

    6. This corner shelf insert creates extra storage space inside your cupboard, so you can avoid overcrowding and chips caused by piling too many plates on top of one another.

    7. Wearing glasses and face masks together is basically a recipe for fog. This reusable anti-fog cloth prevents fogging for up to 48 hours!

    8. This clever banana tree and fruit bowl hybrid helps your fruit stay fresher for longer by keeping the bananas separate from the rest of the fruit!

    10. Prevent your chopped veggies from spilling all over the stove by using this foldable chopping board to direct them straight into the pan!

    11. If you've never made a cup of tea that you haven't spilt, this super sturdy drink holder is basically made for you. It can be used for bottles, glasses, and mugs, and will even keep your drink steady on grass!

    12. And this mug carrier has a centrifugal force design that makes it quite literally impossible to spill liquids when getting from A to B.

    13. Storing your makeup sponge in this handy lil' holder will let it dry properly while keeping it away from bacteria-ridden surfaces.

    14. Pop your soap onto this reusable pad to help it last way longer! The raised design allows excess water to drain through, so your soap won't dissolve or get all slimy.

    15. As an extremely indecisive person, I appreciate the non-permanent solution that these picture hanging strips offer! They'll securely hold up your prints and picture frames and can be easily removed (leaving behind no residue or holes) when you want to redecorate.

    16. This mesh wire ball prevents limescale from building up in your kettle. Pop it into your appliance, use the kettle as normal, and simply give it a rinse every now and then to remove any scales.

    17. This waterproof mattress protector is *kinda* essential if you regularly spill cups of water all over your bed. It's also a real saviour for period leaks and bed wetting!

    18. This shower head has a built-in ionic filtration system, making it great for if you live in a hard water area. The mineral stones soften the water, so there'll be less limescale buildup and your hair and skin will also reap the benefits!
