    34 Handy Little Products That'll Basically Do All The Work (So You Won't Have To)

    I'd like to formally opt out of doing any tasks.

    1. A plush Makeup Eraser that'll help you clean off your face with just a few swipes and a splash of H2O (seriously — it can even remove waterproof mascara). Once it gets gunky, simply toss it into the wash!

    2. A rapid egg cooker if you'd rather not spend your morning standing over a boiling pot. You'll have perfectly-cooked oeufs in less time than it'd take to boil water on the stove, so you can spend your precious minutes doing literally anything else (like *actually* enjoying your coffee).

    3. A pack of earlobe support patches if your fave bling is starting to drag down your look. They're totally invisible and reviewers love that they can get multiple wears out of each one.

    4. A dressing bottle that'll mix your delish sauces together. It's got tons of genius features, like an extra-wide opening for chunky ingredients, a non-slip ring so you can still grip it with wet hands, and a leakproof top that'll help prevent spills and messes.

    5. A memory foam footrest that'll ease your sore feet, so you won't have to pound away aches and pains with a percussion massager (or force your partner to rub your tootsies). Its teardrop shape is designed to follow the natural arch of your foot, helping to minimize swelling, numbness, and fatigue.

    6. A packet of dishwasher-cleaning tablets that'll help you revive (and de-gunk) your smelly old machine. They'll slowly dissolve during the cleaning cycle, melting away icky buildup and saving you from having to scrub the whole damn thing by hand.

    7. A pair of terrycloth hair scrunchies that'll suck the water out of your strands and help you cut down on drying time. Reviewers say they even work well on thick hair and that they leave their tresses feeling soft and looking great (without the help of any hot tools).

    8. A Waterpik shower attachment that'll help you give your pet a quick 'n' thorough scrub-down. The high-powered spray will blast away any dirt, grime, and suds hiding in thick coats (and reviewers love that it can be used one-handed, too).

    9. A microwave grain cooker if you just can't seem to master cooking rice or quinoa on your stove. You won't need to boil water or do any messy straining, either!

    10. A hair-removing tool that'll whisk away unwanted fuzz with minimum ouch. Reviewers love how gentle it is on sensitive skin — it won't cause annoying ingrown hairs and can even be used on ultra-short growth, which means you won't need to wait before trimming again.

    11. A rechargeable foot file that'll help you give yourself some salon-quality pedis without ever leaving home. It's got two speeds and is completely waterproof, so you can trim down your hooves in the shower.

    12. A de-shedding comb so you can easily scrape away pet hair and dander before it makes a mess of your home. The steel bristles are strong enough for double-coated doggos (and reviewers say it removes more fur than any other tool they've tried).

    13. A bracelet fastener if you're tired of begging your roomie to buckle up your bling. Though it's designed for bracelets, reviewers say it works just as well for necklaces, watches, and tricky dress zippers.

    14. A pair of hiccup-curing straws that reviewers swear work instantly. To activate the magic, you'll just need one glass of water. Sip, sip, hooray!

    15. A clog-dissolving drain cleaner that's strong enough to blast away all kinds of blockages, even grease and hair. Reviewers say it's more cost-effective than calling a plumber (with even better results).

    16. Or a flexible drain snake if you're tired of pouring chemicals down your sink. The tip is covered in hundreds of micro hooks that'll snag every last speck of debris lurking in your pipes.

    17. A bottle of Moroccanoil dry scalp treatment if itchiness and flakes are driving you up the wall. It'll help gently slough away buildup from dry skin and product residue, all while hydrating your hair follicles so your mane will grow in lustrous and healthy.

    18. A Brothboxx so you can easily portion out your frozen soups and sauces. Each cube is equal to one cup, making it easier than ever to thaw out *exactly* how much food you need.

    19. A dish squeegee that'll help you scrape food debris off your dining plates (without actually touching it with your fingers, because that's gross). You'll end up with less stuff caught in your sponges, which means they won't get smelly after dish duty.

    20. An Echo Show that you can use to multitask like a freakin' pro. Whether it's video chatting with family, controlling your smart devices, or just updating your packed calendar, this gadget will make it happen. Just say the magic word — Alexa!

    21. A spinning hair curling tool if you've never been able to master a curling iron (honestly, same). Reviewers call this baby a game-changer, saying it heats up in seconds and creates curls that actually last all day long — even on pin-straight hair.

    22. A salad spinner that'll clean your greens, then get rid of all the extra moisture. Why is this handy? First off, kiss soggy lettuce goodbye. Second, your produce will actually last a lot longer in your fridge if it's not covered in water.

    23. A pack of toilet-cleaning strips if you just can't muster the courage to physically reach into the bowl (gross!!!!!). They're non-toxic and free of harsh chemicals, making them safe for both septic tanks and your skin.

    24. A blemish-fighting light wand so you can give those zits the ol' zaperoo whenever they crop up. Best of all, it won't leave the offending area dry, flaky, or irritated (like some acne treatments).

    25. A 4K Fire TV stick that'll give you access to all of your fave streaming platforms in one place. Since the remote's Alexa-enabled, you won't have to scroll endlessly to find the show you're looking for.

    26. A powerful jar opener so that no pickle will ever be out of reach again. Since this baby can be snapped onto just about any jar and needs minimal force to work, reviewers say they no longer have to rely on other people to get containers open.

    27. A double-ended fabric razor that'll help you de-pill your fave sweater without damaging the fibres. It's completely manual and has a built-in lint brush, so you can keep your fabrics free of fluff, too.

    28. A slim popcorn maker if you somehow always burn your kernels (no matter how hard you try). It can cook up to 16 cups of corn at a time, so you won't have to fight over those tasty morsels.

    29. A pair of crisper inserts that'll stop your fruits and veggies from turning into a wilted mess. They'll pop right onto your existing fridge drawers so you won't have to sacrifice any precious real estate.

    30. A bottle of all-purpose cleaner that'll erase every trace of stubborn grime in your house. It doesn't stink like bleach or other unpleasant cleaning agents and works almost instantly — which means no more sitting around while the product works its magic.

    31. A non-stick hamburger press that'll help you create perfect patties every single time. Just fill the press with the ground ingredients of your choice, and use the tamper press to form the burger.

    32. A batter dispenser that'll make meal time a lot less messy. You'll have complete control over each and every pour, whether you need a wee dollop for crepes or a hearty squeeze for cupcakes.

    33. A pair of Wi-Fi smart plugs that you can use to control all your gadgets and gizmos right from your phone. Whether it's pre-boiling water for your morning tea or simply turning on the lights, they're basically guaranteed to make your life easier.

    34. And lastly, a dough scraper so you won't have to pick all the sticky bits off your counters by hand. Reviewers like that it has measurements and conversions printed on the front for easy reference and say it's remarkably easy to clean, too (just toss it in your dishwasher).
