A portable hair tie hub so you'll never have to ask anyone for a hair tie again.

A WD-40 pen (why did I just discover this!?) so when your door hinge is making that squeaking sound that's borderline ~horror-movie eerie,~ you can just go at it with the precise pen tip instead of bringing out that big ol' can of regular WD-40. No more squeaking or rusting here!

The best part is the mirror — you'll never have to blindly aim for your eyes again!
