    27 Genius Little Products That’ll Breathe New Life Into The Things You Already Own

    There's no better time than the present to give your things a ~zhuzh~!

    1. These all-natural multipurpose wipes that will kill bacteria, wipe off gunk and grime, and make everything smell minty fresh. Each wipe contains a mix of botanical ingredients (like mint essential oil and eucalyptus fragrance), and since there are no synthetic additions either, you can feel good using these on just about every surface.

    2. This neat herb-preserving hutch, so delicate herbs like dill, mint, or basil can last longer than five minutes in the fridge. The built-in dividers make it easy to keep herbs organized and tangle-free, and the clear top means you always know exactly how much you have left. Plus, the top is vented to allow circulation.

    The hutch lies on a stone surface, open and full of herbs, and is surrounded by artistically-arranged herbs and flowers

    3. This crazy-strong Gorilla tape that'll basically help hold your entire life together. You'll be able to use it to seal up leaky camping equipment, do quick repairs on tools, and just about everything in between. And reviewers say it's virtually impossible to remove, standing up to rain, heat, and humidity like nobody's business.

    4. This powerful liquid cleanser that will remove rust, tarnish, soap scum, lime, and hard water deposits. The surfaces in your bathroom, kitchen, and cookware will get the crisp, high-shine finish of your dreams, and you won't have to spend hours of cleaning to get them that way!

    5. Some clipper oil that'll help your groomer work smoothly through all the at-home trims. Regularly oiling the blades of your clipper means they work more efficiently and last a LOT longer, too.

    6. These all-natural leather cleaning wipes, so you can protect your favourite footwear from everything Mother Nature throws at it. They'll make quick work of mud, grime, dust, and (#BLESS) salt stains on virtually all shoes — even delicate suede.

    7. This fully-loaded sewing kit that contains everything you'll need to mend holes, reattach buttons, and make small alterations to just about everything. It contains over 110 pieces, and so many colours of thread, matching it to your clothes won't be a problem.

    The sewing kit is laid open to show all the threads, scissors, seam rippers, pins, and scissors included in it

    8. This USB-powered fabric shaver that will protect your sweaters, socks, blankets, and scarves from pilling. A quick once-over with this handy tool will make them all look like new, so you can save money (and your favourite sweaters).

    9. A double-ended electronics cleaning brush that will get in all the awkward crevies of your devices and give them the deep clean they (let's face it) desperately need. Reviewers say it's the perfect tool for cleaning out all the weird little spots that other products can't reach.

    10. This cutting board finishing wax that will not only revive those dingy-looking butcher blocks, but will also keep new ones looking new for longer. The wax is food-grade and anti-microbial, which means it's also great for reviving wooden kitchen utensils, salad bowls, or even concrete countertops.

    11. A handheld garment steamer that will bust annoying wrinkles in moments, and leave your clothes looking and feeling fresher than ever. It heats up in just 25 seconds, and can be used on just about any fabric — easy-peasy!

    12. A frozen herb keeper that'll basically turn any fresh leafy herb into a handy popsicle that you can chop or grate into your meals. Just pop in some freshly-washed herbs, and stash it in the freezer. When you're craving some herbal action, twist the top — then just cut or grate over your dish!

    13. These Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sheets that'll help you scrub all the nooks and crannies of your home. They're basically a super flexible (but equally durable) cousin of the much-beloved originals, and can be used to clean everything from your stovetop to the inside of the microwave.

    14. This powerful air duster that'll literally blow all the dust and debris right out of your electronics. You can use short bursts to blast crumbs from between keys or prevent dust build-up on computer fans. There's even a long stem included that'll funnel the air into tight spaces!

    15. This magical shoe stretch spray that'll help snug footwear fit like an absolute dream. And it's incredibly easy to use — just spray it generously on your shoes, slip on a pair of your thickest socks, and putter around your place until the shoes dry.

    16. These vacuum seal bottle stoppers that'll keep precious liquids (like wine) tasting fresh long after you've opened the bottle. They're ridiculously easy to use — just pop one of the included stoppers into the open bottle, then use the handheld vacuum to suction out the air and create an airtight seal on the bottle. Done!

    18. This non-toxic leather honey that'll help clean everything from grimy boots to worn-down handbags in a matter of minutes. Just swipe it on with a soft cloth, and watch as it eliminates grime, grease, dirt, oil, and tough stains from all kinds of leather and vinyl. It even makes short work of unpleasant odours and dye transfer.

    19. This moisturizing tattoo ointment that'll help heal your fresh ink and give older tattoos the refresh they've been craving. Applying a thin layer of this balm will make a huge difference in the amount of itch and peeling you might experience after getting a new tattoo.

    20. This magic scuff eraser that'll help clean up suede and nubuck like nobody's business. You don't need any water, either, so there's no mess — just make sure you take it slow on coloured fabrics to make sure you don't lift the dye.

    21. A Mason jar tap that'll help you finally make use of all those jars you've got stashed in your cupboards. The best part is that it works with any regular-mouth Mason jar, so you can swap out bigger or smaller ones depending on what you're using it for.

    22. These cedar clothes protectors and moth repellants, so you don't have to stress that your out-of-season clothing has turned into a snack for bugs. There's nothing worse than pulling out your favourite sweater, only to find it's been munched on.

    23. This protective spray that's basically like applying liquid armour to every surface in (and on!) your car. Reviewers love that it never looks or feels greasy, but still gives everything a satiny sheen — all while protecting their car from environmental factors and daily wear.

    24. This neat shoe shine kit that'll help you keep your footwear looking 👌👌👌. You'll get two specialized brushes, two tins of polish, and a cleaning cloth to keep all kinds of shoes in tip-top shape. And since it's all in a neat zippered case, it's easy to take on the go.

    26. These durable peel-and-stick subway tiles that'll help you update your kitchen without doing costly and time-consuming renovations. The flexible and humidity-resistant tiles work well in bathrooms, too.
