    21 Small And Random Things That'll Help Improve Your Life In A Big Way

    What these babies lack in size, they make up for in usefulness.

    1. These 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).

    2. A silicone phone grip that'll keep your device from slipping out of your hands. Reviewers love that it's stretchy and slim, meaning it'll fit hands of all sizes (and tuck easily into pockets, too).

    3. These cut-to-fit pads that'll protect your washroom from annoying rust stains and soap scum. By elevating your products off the counter, they'll be able to dry faster, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time living your life.

    4. A vented windproof umbrella that'll withstand anything Mother Nature throws at it. It has reinforced fibreglass ribs and a double canopy that'll allow gusts of wind to pass right through, so it'll never break or flip inside out.

    6. These headrest hangers that'll keep your bags from sliding around your car. They're strong enough to hold up to 40 pounds, and can help maximize your storage space if you're currently driving a smaller vehicle.

    7. A set of aromatherapy shower tablets that'll help you start your morning off right. With just a few drops of water, they'll start fizzing and releasing their scent. As a bonus, each tablet can last for up to three showers!

    8. An avocado plushie that can be used hot or cold to soothe ouchies, boo-boos, and all kinds of aches and pains. It's filled with buckwheat and lavender, which means it'll not only smell great, but won't leak all over your stuff, either.

    9. A folding bike helmet that'll protect your noodle while you're riding, then fold up neatly when you're done. The flexible shell effectively absorbs AND dissipates impacts, which means there's less risk of injury to your precious noggin.

    10. This rolling garlic chopper that'll save your digits from a stinky fate. Reviewers say it can easily handle several large cloves at once, so you can spend less time tackling sticky messes at meal time.

    11. A little spice lid that'll help you repurpose old Mason jars into spice shakers. It's equipped with two flip-up options, so you'll be able to dust or pour with ease.

    13. This skin-pampering facial mist that'll give your complexion a major glowup. It's made of only natural ingredients (like blue tansy oil and witch hazel) that'll kill bacteria and stop future breakouts before they make an appearance.

    14. This mini pie maker that'll take the guesswork out of pastry baking. Whether you lean more towards savoury or sweet, this tiny non-stick appliance will help you nail your recipe every time.

    16. A roll of biodegradable compost liners that'll make disposal of organic waste a lot easier. At eight litres, they're big enough to stash tons of fruit peels, egg shells, and other kitchen waste, without worrying about overflow.

    17. A rotating utensil holder, so you can easily find a spatula when you're elbow-deep in dinner prep. It's big enough for 15 utensils and has separate compartments to help keep things organized.

    18. This portable laundry system that'll make it easy to clean your clothes, even when you're away from your washer and dryer. It's lined with hundreds of tiny nodes that work like a washboard to scrub away dirt and grime.

    19. A desktop organizer that'll help you keep your favourite things on display. It has seven ring-shaped clips that'll organize photos (or all your to-do lists), plus a neat lil' planter that could double as a place to stash your art supplies and writing utensils.

    20. A 3-in-1 avocado tool that'll scoop, slice, and pit your fave superfood. The seed-snatching teeth are reversible, which means they'll handle even the teensiest (or biggest) pits, so meal prep can be fast and mess free.

    21. And finally, a gooseneck table lamp that'll adjust easily and illuminate your desk space. The base doubles as an organizer for small odds and ends, and can even hold your phone!
