This Silicone Lid That Turns Your Thermos Into A To-Go Cup
I have a weird aversion to lukewarm drinks. If my water becomes even slightly warm while I’m working out, I’m forced to dump it and refill it, which usually happens multiple times. This silicone drink cover allows me to fill my thermos with water, pop this baby over the top, and sip out of the straw while my drink stays frigid for ours.
I won’t workout without this thing!
This Tub Drain Protector Launched My Wig Collection
I could make a wig out of the amount of hair I lose in the shower. No matter how much I try to stick it to the wall and collect it at the end, some strands sneak their way into the drain and clog it! Not every drain is built for my hair, so I use this tub drain protector that has over 108,000 raving reviews! Yes, those are 3 zeros. If that wasn’t enough to switch you over to the TubShroom side, they have a stainless steel bundle and a bathroom sink drain protector too.
These Underwear Organizers That Keeps Your Drawers Neat (Pun Intended)

Simply pour kernels into the bowl, stick in the microwave, and enjoy hot, fresh, movie theater-quality popcorn from the comfort of your own couch.
This LED Light That Brightens Up Dark Spaces
The closets in our house are both tiny and horribly lit, so we’re forced to turn all the lights on in our bedroom in order to find the item of clothing we’re looking for.
If you have spots in your home that could use a bit more lighting, I suggest giving these LED lighting strips a try. The automatic sensor gives you bright, clear light the instant you need it.
This Cheese Slicer That’s Ridiculously Clever
I love cheese. I live in Wisconsin, so it’s pretty much illegal not to love cheese. And since I’m so serious about this dairy delicacy, I recently decided to invest in this Chef’n Slicester Cheese Slicer, which makes it ridiculously easy to get perfectly cut cheese slices every time. No more struggling with dangerous knives or confusing cheese wires for you!
This Batter Dispenser That’s Mess-Free
I’m not a great baker. I tend to be more of a “just throw things in and hope everything turns out alright” type of person, which, as you may or may not know, is not the best idea when it comes to making cakes, muffins, cookies, etc. I also tend to make a gigantic mess everything I bake, and the cleanup afterward takes all the fun out of it.
This batter dispenser was made for messy people like me. The no-drip design lets you measure out exactly what you need without getting most of it on your countertops instead.
This Black Light Flashlight That Shows You What’s Really On Your Sheets
This is one of those products that you quickly become completely obsessed with and often discover things with it that you kind of wish you hadn’t. The black light design illuminates invisible stains that you can’t detect with the naked eye, meaning this is a handy product to store in your suitcase in order to take a closer look at those hotel sheets.
Proceed with caution, though. You’ll never be able to unsee those stains.
This Outlet And Surge Protector That Saves Your Stuff
If you’re always in need of extra outlets like I am, this Mini Surge Protector, 2-Outlet + 2-USB does way more than just power your stuff. It features a built-in surge protector so your electronics stay safe, plus the rotating design and two USB ports add major convenience.

You’ll be asking yourself where this thing has been all your life the minute it arrives in the mail.
This Mini Iron That Keeps You Wrinke-Free On-The-Go
It took me a while to realize the benefits of ironing my clothes, but once I did, I never looked back. I was able to finally wear a constantly-wrinkled dress for the first time, and I no longer felt like a total slob when going out in public.
This mini iron is a must for traveling. Just throw it your bag and use the steam function to freshen up musty clothes and iron out any wrinkles that may have been caused by being shoved into a suitcase.
This Collapsable Waterbottle That You Can Take Anywhere
While it’s important to stay hydrated, it’s often something that we tend to neglect in our busy day-to-day lives. In fact, think about how much water you’ve had to drink today so far. Is it a lot? I doubt it. I don’t mean to sound like your mother, but you really need to take better care of yourself.
Self-care starts with this collapsible water bottle, which you can take with you everywhere so you have no excuse.
This Moisutre Absorber That Banishes Bad Smells
Do you know how your clothes can get that horrible musty smell when they’ve been hanging in the back of your closet for too long? That’s because of the excess moisture that builds up and causes mildew to grow. Gross, right? Thankfully, now there’s something you can do about it.

This Can Cooler That Makes Warm Beer A Distant Memory

It keeps your drink cold for 20-TIMES longer, meaning that even if you were drinking a beer on a 100-degree day with zero cloud coverage, it would stay frosty cold. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
This Bath Mat That Won’t Slip, No Matter What
As an impossibly clumsy person, I need all the help I can get to not hurt myself on a daily basis. One of those ways includes buying this Gorilla Grip shower mat, which provides a non-slip surface to places that are otherwise slippery, such as your tub, bathroom floor, or anywhere else where you risk falling and breaking your neck.
This Potato Peeler That’s Way Too Much Fun
I have a confession to make: I’m completely obsessed with cool kitchen gadgets. Anything that claims to do something cool and reportedly makes my life easier I’ll buy, and sadly, more often than not, they end up being total junk that I never use again. This Rotato Express not only has a hilarious name, but it also peels potatoes and a variety of other fruit and veggies in roughly three seconds.

Now, I just throw some veggies in the basket and they’re steamed and ready to eat in just a few seconds.

This Personal Safety Device That Gives You Peace Of Mind
We live in a dangerous world. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve completely stopped watching the news since when I do it has a tendency to cause a full-blown panic attack. We could all use a bit more peace of mind in our daily lives, which is where this personal safety device comes in. This tiny gadget plays an extremely loud alarm when pressed, and the compact size fits right on your keychain.
This Fire Starter That Just Might Save Your Life
I wouldn’t call myself very “outdoorsy”, so when I do venture outside for, say, a camping trip, I like to be completely prepared for all scenarios. This fire starter is always a must when I go camping since you never know when a fire will mean the difference between life or death in the woods.
This one is also teensy enough to fit on your keychain for added convenience.

It has a built-in mister option for when you’re seriously overheated.
I’m pretty sure everyone at Anytime Fitness is super jealous of me every time I use it.

If you’re constantly dropping your phone, you need to buy one of these clever finger straps. It attaches firmly to the back so you don’t have to worry about it becoming un-glued, and it gives you a way to hold your phone securely so you’re not constantly worrying about cracking your screen for the millionth time.
This Bike Bag That Gives You A Secure Place For Essentials
Have you ever tried to bike somewhere while holding your phone, wallet, and keys at the same time? Yeah, it’s pretty much impossible. But what if you want to be able to receive a phone call, lock your house, and have identification just in case?
This bike bag connects directly onto your bike and won’t weigh you down so you can meet your goals without worry.
This Magnetic Bar That Keeps Knives Where You Need Them
It’s funny how a matching knife set makes you feel like you’ve suddenly reached peak adulthood. But then there’s the issue of where to put them. You can’t just shove them all in a drawer and risk cutting yourself every time you need to grab a whisk.
That’s what makes this magnetic bar so ingenious. It allows you to put your entire set right on your kitchen wall so it’s convenient without you having to risk losing a finger.

This Adhesive Hooks That You’ll Want All Over Your House
Also included during our whirlwind cleaning weekend were these adhesive hooks, which I seriously cannot recommend enough.

Genius!
This Car Trash Can That Keeps Your Ride Clean
Okay, I’ll admit it: My car is gross. I’m one of those people who leaves a month’s worth of old take-out bags on the floor of my car and people have to move them out of the way in order to sit down whenever I give them a ride.
This car garbage can helps me to be a less disgusting person.
This Bike Phone Mount Bag That Offers Storage And Navigation
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten lost while trying out a new trail on my bike. Although I’m horrible with directions, when I drive I’m able to use my GPS and can usually find where I need to go. My bike is different since there’s no good place to put my phone.
Until now, that is. This phone holder gives you a convenient place to put your phone and a great way to find where you’re going.
These Reusabe Utensils That Are Perfect For Camping
These reusable utensils are a must-have addition to your next camping adventure. They’re made from 100% nylon so they’re basically indestructible and snap together for easy transport.

This Apple Cutter That Makes Life Way Easier
I’ve been trying to eat healthier lately, and have been trying to eat an apple per day since it apparently “keeps the doctor away”. After around day three I started to get really sick of cutting it up every day, so I invested in one of these cool apple cutters.
With one swift motion you’re left with perfectly sized slices and zero mess.
This Thaw Claw That Defrosts Meat In A Snap
I’ve always been kind of afraid of the process of defrosting meat. What if I do it wrong and cause my dinner guests to get salmonella? I’m assuming that would probably ruin a dinner party pretty darn quick.
This Thaw Claw makes it easy and defrosts meat 7 times faster. No more worrying if I’ve killed my friends and family members!
This Universal Socket That Will Make You Feel 10X More Handy
My house was built in 1926, and boy, can you tell. The downstairs electrical recently stopped working, the windows barely function as windows, and the hardwood floors are so creaky that it’s impossible to hear what’s on the TV when someone walks across the room.
This universal socket has helped me to feel even slightly handy and fix a few small things around my house. It’s a great feeling.
This Watering Can That’s Collapsable
Now that I have a house with a big backyard, I spent most of this summer planting my garden. Since I’ve never actually planted a garden before, I decided to invest in as many helpful gardening tools as possible in order to make the process go smoother.
This watering can transforms into a bucket and is collapsible for easy storage.
This Super Strong Hook That Lets You Win The “One Trip” Challenge
I go to the grocery store every Saturday morning and buy enough food to get me through the week, which usually results in roughly a dozen bags that need to be brought in from the car. Since I bought this “Mommy Hook”, I’m able to bring every single one of those bags into the house in one trip instead of making multiple ones.
Score!
