    29 Problem-Solving Products That'll Make Every Day A Teeny Bit Easier

    "I like when things are difficult," said no one, ever.

    1. A pack of extra-durable Mr. Clean Magic Erasers that'll make tough stains and other muck disappear like magic. They won't shred or disintegrate while you're scrubbing (which means they'll actually last 'til grime and dirt are erased).

    2. A petite sink strainer (from the makers of the TubShroom!) that'll trap dirt and debris before they have a chance to clog your pipes. Reviewers love that it doesn't block water flow and say it's a total breeze to clean.

    3. A bug-zapping racket you can use to obliterate any pests that try to sneak into your home. It has a teeny light on the handle to lure mosquitos, flies, and other flying irritants to their doom.

    4. A set of non-slip shower decals that'll keep you from sliding around during bath time. They have a grippy, textured surface that creates the perfect amount of friction (no matter how soapy and sudsy you like to get).

    5. An LED light strip that's designed to reduce eye strain and fatigue. It's lined with foam tape so you can easily stick it right onto the back of your TV, and it'll help to increase colour contrast so you can marathon your fave movies in cinema-style comfort.

    6. A pack of natural heating patches that'll deliver some toasty therapy when curling around a hot water bottle is a no-go. They start working the moment they're unwrapped and can be slapped on anywhere you've got an ouchie (like your belly or lower back).

    7. A wearable acupressure tool that reviewers say has basically eliminated their chronic headaches and sinus pain altogether. It's easy to slip on and is completely adjustable so you can pop it on and go about your day.

    8. A pack of spiky dryer balls if you're tired of zapping your fingers on laundry static. They'll save you tons of moola on expensive dryer sheets (and won't leave behind a waxy residue on delicate fabrics).

    9. A trio of cookware protectors so you can FINALLY stack your pots and pans without scuffing them. Reviewers like that they're stiffer than other protectors, which means they won't curl or break under the weight of your cookware.

    10. A top-entry litter box that'll keep your kitty's sandy debris from spreading all over your home. Other handy features include a grooved lid (for cleaning Felix's paws) and a hanger to store your poop scooper.

    11. A handy moisture meter that'll help you avoid overwatering your plants (and keep your nails clean in the process). It has an extra-long probe sensor so you'll be able to monitor for root rot, too!

    12. A motion-detecting toilet bowl light so you can see what you're doing the next time you get up for a midnight tinkle. It even comes equipped with a dimmer so you won't startle yourself awake with glaring lights.

    13. A magical makeup-erasing pen so you can finally perfect a crisp winged-liner look. It's packed with chamomile and vitamin E, which means it won't irritate your eyes if you accidentally give your peepers a poke.

    14. A cut-resistant glove that'll protect your hands from knife-related injuries. Each fingertip is covered in silicone so nothing will slip from your grasp when you're slicing and dicing.

    15. A UV sterilizing case that'll kill up to 99.99% of the bacteria that lives on your phone with just a quick zap. It can disinfect your mask, glasses, and bank cards, too (basically anything that fits) so you won't need to fork over extra cash for wasteful wipes.

    16. An odour-eliminating spray if your pet has a fondness for creating smelly messes. Instead of covering up stink with fake fragrances and perfumes, this spray actually eradicates it so your stuff won't smell like the inside of an air freshener.

    17. A set of collapsible crates that'll pop up for extra storage when you need it (and fold up flat when you don't). They'll stack neatly on top of one another so they won't take up a ton of space in your closet.

    18. A pack of headrest hangers that'll stop your bags from rattling around in your car. They'll snap on easily and can hold up to 30 pounds per hook, which means even jugs of detergent will be locked in place.

    19. A sleek folding kitchen scale so you can precisely measure the amount of chocolate chips your cookies need. Thanks to the rest and tare functions, you can even weigh multiple ingredients at a time.

    20. A set of colour-coded cutting boards that'll help prevent any cross-contamination in the kitchen. Thanks to tiny silicone nodes, they won't slip around the next time you're chopping stuff up (and they have sloped edges for catching tasty juices).

    21. A drinking fountain that'll mimic a running tap and encourage your cat to stay hydrated. Reviewers say it's basically silent so you won't be kept up by buzzing or whirring, and it even has a soft nightlight function (which means you won't accidentally kick your catto in the middle of the night).

    22. An ultra-slim wastebasket with over 38,000 five-star reviews that'll tuck into all the tightest corners in your home. It can hold up to two gallons of trash so you won't need to take the garbage out every five seconds.

    23. A set of non-stick kitchen knives that'll help you zip through meal prep. They're specially coated to be rust, acid, and stain resistant so you can slice and dice to your heart's content.

    24. A set of furniture shields that'll protect your sofas and armchairs from your cat's razor-sharp claws. They're totally transparent so they won't mess with your decor vibe, either.

    25. A structured neck pillow so you can snooze in comfort on your next long-haul car or bus ride. The hidden internal support will keep your noodle from bobbing around so you won't wake up with a crick in your neck.

    26. A pair of these tiny sound-dampening ear plugs that will filter out harmful noises. Reviewers love that they don't completely deafen them so they can still hear their phones ringing, fire alarms, and other important sounds.

    27. A portable door lock so you'll never lose sleep wondering if you did, in fact, lock the front door. It's easy to install (in seconds, with no tools!) so you won't even have to hire a locksmith.

    28. A set of four nesting funnels so you can flip between measuring dry goods and liquids at the drop of a hat. It even comes with an insertable filter if you wanna strain out any debris or big chunks of flour.

    29. And lastly, this stainless steel roaster that'll help keep your poultry upright (and ridin' easy) during the cooking process. This cute lil' chopper makes it easy to nail juicy beer can chicken on the first try.
