    My Brain Refuses To Believe These 36 Handy Things Aren't Actually Just Impulse Buys

    No buyer's remorse here.

    1. A wireless Bluetooth speaker you can also use to crack open a cold one. Yes, in addition to being water-, dust-, and sand-proof, it's got a built-in bottle opener on the back (and can blast tunes for up to five hours on a single charge).

    2. A Souper freezing tray so you can pre-make and pre-portion all your meals (and save yourself some time during busy weeks). Each slot has a 1/2 cup capacity, and it comes with a lid to keep freezer stink at bay.

    3. A pair of absorbent puff balls so you can dry off your grabbers without soaking your bath towels. Reviewers say they suck up a *lot* of moisture (while doubling as cute washroom decor).

    4. A pair of knit leg warmers that'll keep your gams toasty when you're en route to your barre class. They've got silicone-lined stirrups, which means they'll not only keep you from sliding on studio floors, but will stay in place while you're plié-ing the day away.

    5. A set of liquid chalk markers so you can finally label all your pantry goods. The colours dry quickly and won't smudge, meaning you could use them to label jars of homemade goodies, write to-do lists on your bathroom mirror, or even doodle decor on windows.

    6. An adjustable measuring spoon if you're tired of constantly fishing around for the *exact* one you need. It's also way more precise than your current set and has measurements for both wet and dry ingredients.

    7. A chunky rim plate you've probably been seeing all over #Potterytok. Thanks to the ~thicc~ bubble edge, all your saucier dishes will stay where they're meant to (on the plate), instead of oozing where they shouldn't (onto your pants).

    8. A bottle of sulphite-removing wine drops so you can finally enjoy your fave vino without the pounding headache. They work in seconds (20, to be exact) and reviewers say they help reduce rosacea flare-ups, too.

    9. A disco toilet bowl light for your next poopy party. It can detect motion, making it a great nightlight if you don't want to startle yourself awake with the overheads during a midnight run to the porcelain throne.

    10. A bottle of Tower 28 facial spray that'll calm down even the 🔥feistiest🔥 skin. It's pH-balancing, fragrance-free, and non-drying, so you can mist it on as much as you like when you get a little too much sun or have a bad reaction to a new skincare product.

    11. A pair of silicone grooming gloves if you wanna remove fur and dander while tricking your fur baby into thinking they're getting ~petz~. The soft silicone nodes won't tug or snag, so grooming time won't end in tears and scratches.

    12. A reusable notebook that'll let you make digital copies of all your handwritten notes. Each page has a scannable QR so you can snap 'n' store your notes in the companion app (then just wipe the page with a damp cloth to start fresh).

    13. A beverage chiller if you're a die-hard fan of the icy beverage. When your drink gets tepid, you can simply toss it back inside to get it frosty again (instead of diluting it with more ice cubes).

    14. A temperature-controlled Ember cup so you can keep your java warm long past your morning meeting. Like the Ember mug, it's got a battery life of about 1.5 hours and can be controlled right from your phone (you can select the exact temp you want, folks!).

    15. A pocket-sized eyeglass repair kit so you can keep your spectacles in good working order. It comes with all the tools you'll need to perform a quick fix or just make a pair more comfy to wear.

    16. A solid beauty tool cleanser if you're not about to mess around with spill-y liquids. Reviewers love that it comes with a teeny scrubbing mat, too, making it the perfect thing to keep your tools in check when you're travelling.

    17. A drying mat for wine glasses that's specially designed to keep your stemware free of water spots. Each one will get its own lil' section, saving you from crowding things up and accidentally *ugh* breaking one.

    18. A Fatboy pouf that's sturdy enough to double as seating or side table. It's blessed with a water- and stain-repellant cover, which means an accidental vino spill won't ruin your decor.

    19. A bottle of water-repellant shoe spray that'll coat your sweet kicks in a protective layer. Liquids (like rain, sleet, or *oops* accidental coffee spills) will bead and roll off, instead of sinking into your precious footwear.

    20. 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.

    21. An expandable Longchamp Le Pliage tote if you love having the option of having extra storage when you need it. Done up, it's about the size of the large OG style, but reviewers say unzipping it transforms it into the *perfect* carryon bag, too.

    22. A pack of laundry detergent strips that'll take up ~way~ less room in your teeny apartment than those big ol' jugs. You'll only need one per load and they're pre-measured, too.

    23. A pair of reflective biking socks from lululemon that'll keep you visible during your nightly rides. They're designed to fit nice and snug, meaning you won't have to constantly adjust them during strenuous workouts.

    24. A compact key holder that'll turn your keychain into a handy multitool. It can hold up to 10 keys (goodbye, jangling pockets!) and is equipped with Tile tracking tech so you'll never lose your set again.

    25. A water-collecting boot rack that'll protect your floors from slush and salt. The V-shaped platforms will help drain away liquid, giving your footwear the chance to dry properly instead of just sitting in a puddle.

    26. A wireless hand massager with a handy warming function if your grabbers are feeling especially tired lately. It'll ease tense muscles and can even massage each knuckle and finger individually.

    27. A superhero bookend that'll keep your tomes from toppling over. The unique design actually works better with heavier books, so you can go ahead and load up your shelf.

    28. A pair of Bala bangles if your workouts could use a lil' something extra. They're incredibly comfy to wear, and won't slip, slide, or budge (even when you're squeezing in some cardio jumping jacks).

    29. A pack of detoxing foot pads if your bod could use a reset right about now. Reviewers say wearing these overnight has helped them sleep better and wake up feeling more rested — plus, no more sore feet!

    30. A pack of deodorizing shoe balls that'll freshen up your stinky footwear. They'll release their refreshing scent with just a quick twist and can last up to six months.

    31. A set of self-watering planters if you're always forgetting to tend to your foliage. Thanks to the cotton rope uptake system, they'll always get the *perfect* amount of hydration (and it'll stop things from getting swampy).

    32. A marker-tip lash and brow serum that'll be a breeze to apply. You won't need to fiddle with goopy brushes or spill-y pots — simply click the bottom to fill the tip with serum and you're off to the races.

    33. An Ostrichpillow pad you can use hot *or* cold depending on your needs. Popping it into the microwave will turn it into a cozy, snuggly heating pad for warming up after a day shovelling snow, or you can leave it in the freezer to use as an ice pack on sore muscles or small booboos.

    34. A handheld plant mister that'll start spraying at the touch of a button (and only stops when you want it to). The spray comes out light as air, but you can easily be adjust it if you want a more powerful stream.

    35. A set of minimalist spice jar labels that'll help you keep track of your seasonings, while giving your pantry a chic makeover. They're made of dishwasher-safe, waterproof vinyl, which means they won't tear or peel five minutes after you've applied them.

    36. And lastly, a handy armrest coaster so you can keep your drink within reach the next time you're couch-surfing. It's way smaller than a coffee table (and less likely to bruise your shin when you inevitably bump into it).
