This Shower Note Pad
I don’t know about you, but I do my best thinking in the shower. And then, when I have a thought I really love, I have to stop thinking and repeat that thought to myself over and over until my shower’s over so I can run out and write it down before I forget it. But if I had this waterproof notepad, I could write down the ideas as they come to me and not worry about forgetting them. According to the reviews, this thing really works.
This Shower Footrest
Yes, all showers should already have footrests built-in. But until that glorious day, the Safe-er-Grip footrest will have to do. If you are someone who regularly shaves their legs, you know what a complete hassle it is to do in the shower. Unless you have a perfectly placed edge in your shower, it’s near impossible to get the right angle. This simple little footrest will alleviate that struggle immediately.

You won’t have to worry about being lost in the world with this portable charger.
These Salad Dressing To-Go Bottles
Part of the reason that I hate bringing salads to work for lunch is that it is never easy to figure out how to transport dressing. No matter what I put it in, it leaks and gets everywhere, and then everything I own smells like balsamic vinegar. But with these perfect little to-go dressing containers, you can actually easily store the perfect amount of dressing for your lunch salad.
These Tiny Spatulas
The most annoying thing about finishing a jar of peanut butter or Nutella or jam is that you can never get every last drop out of it. But now, with these tiny little spatulas, you can! Plus, you can also pretend to be a giant while you use them, which is really what it’s all about. You get two mini spatulas in a set, a six-inch one and a 12-inch one, so no jar will be left unscraped.
This Bullet Space Pen
The bullet space pen writes in any direction. It’s sleek, it’s classy, and this one has a clip so you can always have it on you and whip it out in times of need. Bullet pens are super compact, so they’ll fit in even the tiniest of pockets (looking at you, ladies), and they write in every direction, so if you happen to find yourself in space, you won’t have to worry about the lack of gravity.
This Belt Pouch for Running
I never go running because there is nowhere to keep my valuables in my yoga pants! OK, that’s not the only reason I don’t run. I don’t run because it’s the worst.

This thing clips right around your waist and holds your keys, wallet, and phone without creating a lot of bulk.

Whoever invented this deserves the Nobel Prize.
