Remember when we were kids and couldn’t wait to become adults? Boy, were we stupid or what?! Don’t get me wrong; there are parts of being an adult that are spectacular, like making your own rules and eating cake for breakfast. But, there are other parts I’d just as soon forget, like paying bills, having to make your own bed (every day?!), and those aches and pains that seemingly come out of nowhere. (Seriously? I was only sleeping!)
There are other great things about adulthood, too, like making your own money and spending it on whatever you want … which, hopefully, is why you’ve landed on this list. This list includes 37 Amazon finds that are for adults only — not because they’re age-restricted (although what’s a kid going to do with mushroom-powered coffee or a back shaver?) but because they fulfill a need you don’t even realize you have until you’re in your 20s and beyond. Flex your full-grown muscle with the products on this list and ace adulting.

You Can Stand Under My Umbrella
I spend more time than I’d consider typical thinking about things like: “Why do they put the pretty designs on an umbrella on the outside where the carrier can’t enjoy them?” Well, someone must’ve thought the same and designed these inverted umbrellas with the design — you guessed it — on the underside.
