They keep your drink cool all day, are super durable, and come in some of the brightest, prettiest colors I’ve seen in a water bottle.

A Lunchbox You Have to Have
Lunchboxes aren’t the most glamorous thing now that we’re all grown up, but they don’t have to be lame. This Carhart lunchbox isn’t just the coolest box on the block, it’s also one of the best. It’s made from their incredible, durable canvas and comes equipped with amazing insulation to keep your meals, or your brews, cool all day.

This amazing, and super affordable, heated neck massager can offer you the utmost in relaxation while you type away or sit through a business meeting. It can even attach to your office chair so you can keep it right where you want it.
This Fun Tortilla Blanket
Sure, this isn’t a gadget, but it falls under the “just plain cool” category of awesome things you need in your life. Stay cozy and tightly wrapped just like your favorite meal. It’s especially cute when you wrap a baby in it, turning them into a bae-rito if you will.
This Smart Scale
If you’re trying to reach a certain physical goal, there’s not much that’s more helpful than a smart scale. You can keep track of all of your stats so you can decide how to change up your workout or adjust your diet to better meet the end results you’re working towards.
Just Plain Fun
This yodeling pickle doesn’t actually serve a purpose, except to make you smile and maybe even chuckle. I recommend putting this on your work desk that way you can press the button after a particularly tough meeting and really let yourself have a laugh to unwind. Or to drown out the sound of your annoying coworker. Either one is good!
These TikTok Famous Cups
I have a weird obsession with watching TikToks that are all about people’s daily routines and one of the items I see on those videos are these great cups. They fit with pretty much any aesthetic and they’re reusable, which is obviously the best choice because we’re all about taking care of the environment!
This Life Saving Sound Machine
I used to be a nanny and let me tell you — there’s isn’t much that’s as effective for getting kids to sleep like a white noise/sound machine. This awesome gadget will help you get your little ones, or yourself if you have a hard time sleeping, off to dreamland in no time flat!
Puzzles for a Fun Time
I love puzzles! And maybe they don’t really count as “gadgets,” but they’re one of the most affordable forms of fun, in my opinion, and I had to include at least one. It’s great for families or just for solo fun if you enjoy doing puzzles in your free time.
A More Traditional Gadget
I consider watches to be one of the historical gadgets that brought us phones and laptops and smartwatches. And while that might make them sound old, this particular watch is a gorgeous, sleek, and modern take on that old-time-y invention. And it’s affordable to boot which isn’t easy to find when you’re hunting for a good timepiece.
This Great Car Vacuum
Cars can get pretty messy, and that’s no one’s fault (unless you have kids that like to throw their snacks), but it’s something that’s got to be dealt with. There’s no better way to deal with those crumbs and messes than this great vacuum, designed specifically for cleaning up your car in a flash!
These Great Shakers
Take the guesswork out of the salt and pepper shakers! No need to try and squint until you see just how much you put on your food, these awesome, automated, shakers have lights on them so you can see what you’re doing, even during a romantic, candlelit dinner date.
This Great Drying Rack
In my opinion, there’s no better way to add space to your kitchen than by adding shelves and drying racks. You never know when you’re going to need them and drying racks are always particularly handy. You can dry dishes, food, or even your delicates on this great kitchen gadget.
The Best Broom and Dustpan Combo
It’s hard to find a high-quality broom and dustpan combo that doesn’t break the bank and is actually effective in all the ways that count. Sweep it up and dump it out and then store it all together easily and out of the way. This is one of the best buys I made in 2022!
This Great Deodorizer
No one likes fridge stink, but it’s a fact of life that we all seem to live with at one point or another. But we don’t have to live like this anymore! Especially not when a great gadget like this one exists. It’s designed to deodorize your fridge and to last for TEN YEARS! Woah.
These Bowl Cozies
It’s probably smarter to wait until your bowl is completely cool before you pick it up, but who has time for that (or the patience)? These bowl cozies let you transport your bowl all around the house or kitchen without burning your tender fingers or the palms of your hands.
You’ll Love These Anti-Fatigue Mats
These are such great help when I’m washing dishes or making dinner. My husband and I take turns, but we still spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen throughout the week and these anti-fatigue mats really give our feet someplace soft to land and keeps us from dealing with added foot strain or pain.
The Best Bacon Maker
Make bacon in a snap with this fun gadget. It allows you to microwave your favorite porky breakfast food while also reducing the amount of fat you’re dealing with and keeping you from burning yourself on grease. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe and I just don’t think it gets better than that!
This Amazing Bag Organizer
Plastic baggies tend to get pretty disorganized, pretty quickly, that’s just the nature of those slippery, plastic creatures. Fortunately, this amazing organizer exists so you can keep them all organized and separated and all you have to do is pull to get the right one for whatever you’re trying to store.
This Item Serves Double-Duty
You really get your bang for your buck with this gadget purchase! It comes in a set of three and not only do you get a lot of items, you get a lot of work from the items as they’re both splatter covers for microwaves and colanders all at once!
These Awesome Hand Warmers
I don’t know about you, but my hands are always cold and one of the things I love most is keeping these rechargeable hand warmers in my favorite jacket. That way all I have to do is slip my hands in my pockets and I can enjoy hours of warm digits.
