    22 Mini Things That Are Actually More Handy Than Their Full-Sized Counterparts

    Good things come in small packages.

    1. This rainbow compact multitool that'll help you make quick fixes, without needing to rummage through your tool box. Each attachment is colour coded for easy reference, and reviewers say they're just as durable as their full-size counterparts.

    2. This teensy power bank, so you can juice up your phone without being tethered to an outlet. Reviewers say it charges quickly and lasts longer than other power banks they've tried.

    3. A travel-sized thermos that'll tuck right into your pocket, so you'll be able to enjoy a hot drink on the go. It's made of stainless steel, so it won't absorb pungent smells (psst — that means you could even use it for hot soup).

    4. A counter squeegee and sweeperthat'll help you tackle kitchen messes in a flash. Its compact size makes it way less annoying to whip out than a broom, and it's great for tiled countertops, too!

    5. This handheld fan that'll help you ~chill out~, without turning down your thermostat. It has super-soft blades, so you won't injure yourself if you accidentally hold it too close to your face.

    6. This cute air fryer that'll whip up crave-worthy crispy treats, without all the oil. Even though it works just as hard as a full-size fryer, it's half the weight and size, making it perfect for pocket-sized kitchens.

    9. This miniature desktop vacuum that'll suck up all the crumbs and dust bunnies hiding in the corners of your home. Reviewers say it can tackle everything from coffee grounds to car mess with ease!

    10. A set of skinny satin scrunchies that'll protect your locks from knots and tangles. Unlike their larger counterparts, these ties manage to keep every last baby hair in place, so you can rock a sleek 'do.

    11. A pair of these tiny sound-reducing ear plugs that will filter out eardrum-damaging decibels. Reviewers say they're incredible at dampening annoying sounds, without completely deafening the user.

    12. A set of mini foldable crates that'll give you a place to store your knickknacks. Instead of rummaging around a huge bin for hours, these small boxes will make it easy to find everything you're looking for.

    13. A cordless Waterpik that'll flush out all the gunk between your teeth, without hogging up the whole bathroom counter. Reviewers say its powerful enough to blast away debris, but won't aggravate sensitive gums and teeth.

    15. This handheld steam iron that'll work just as effectively as it's larger counterpart, while being lighter, smaller, and way less annoying to take out. It heats up in seconds, which is awesome if you're halfway out the door and realize that your shirt is unforgivably wrinkly.

    16. One of these L'Occitane hand creams that'll help you hydrate your grabbers on the go. They're infused with shea butter and a ton of natural essential oils that'll leave your hands feeling (and smelling) amazing.

    17. These wafer-thin soap sheets that'll help you keep your hands clean, no matter where you are. The dry sheets are activated with a little bit of water, meaning you won't have to worry about soap leaking all over your pockets.

    18. A slim humidifying wand that'll turn any glass or bottle of water into a lean, mean, diffusing machine. It's whisper quiet and is equipped with handy timers, so you'll be able to set it and forget it.

    19. This little composting bin that'll help you make the most of your organic waste, without monopolizing all your kitchen space. The lid features a charcoal filter that'll help keep those less-than-pleasant smells contained, too.

    20. An electronics cleaning tool that will sweep away all the debris caught between keys, around screens, and in charging ports. The brush end will easily sweep away crumbs, while the sturdy silicone tip will scrub away harder stuff.

    21. This magical water purifier pod for pets that'll help keep their H2O clean and drinkable, without any complicated filters. It'll absorb lead, arsenic, chloride, and fluoride for up to half a year, meaning you won't have to buy replacements every week or month.

    22. And lastly, this mini food processor that'll help you whiz through meal prep. I use mine to make batches of white bean dip, or a quick salad dressing when I don't feel like hand-chopping all the ingredients.

    You, after realizing you can ditch those clunky full-size gadgets for good:
