A useful waterproof baby carrier if you'd appreciate having your hands free when you take your little one in the pool. It's made of a fast-drying neoprene material (think surf suits) and has soft padded straps.
An office chair blanket that'll create a cocoon of warmth (and it's strapped to the chair so it won't fall off), so you can focus on your work instead of cursing the office manager every 10 minutes because they're absolutely blasting the AC.
A smudge-correcting clear nail polish so it's NBD when your painstakingly painted mani gets crinkled because you *thought* your nails were fully dried but learned they were most definitely still slightly wet after you buttoned up your pants.
A spinning water bottle organizer because your extensive collection of jumbo water bottles is taking up an entire shelf in your kitchen cabinet. This lazy Susan–style water bottle holder can accommodate up to six 40-oz. Stanleys, Starbucks tumblers, and more.
A hair-identifier spray to make your monthly dermaplaning session as pain-free as possible. Now, you can be sure you're shaving all the peach fuzz to make makeup application smoother and reveal that summery glow. And reviewers say the spray helps the razor glide more smoothly.
A pack of pee pads for monitoring your pup's health — it's not like they can use their words to tell you when something is wrong. These absorbent pads have a color-changing layer that can alert you when you to potential issues, like a UTI or dehydration.
A pack of soda can lids if you prefer your pop with no bugs in it. (Who doesn't?) They're designed to fit standard-sized cans and have a sealing ring that should prevent leaks if the can gets knocked over...which happens often if you've got kids. The straw is retractable, so it's not exposed to icky germs. And you can pop the whole thing in the dishwasher for cleaning!
A silicone ring protector that'll give you peace of mind when you're at the gym, allowing you to wear your rings while exercising so you don't have to stick them in an unsupervised gym locker while also protecting your band from scratches.
A pack of disposable paper bibs so you're always prepared when you're out of the house this summer. With three layers of protection and an adhesive tab so you can keep the bib attached to their clothes *plus* a built-in crumb catcher, these bibs will make impromptu park lunches, playdates, meals out, and arts and crafts time much less messy.
A Hershey's s'mores caddy because no summer day is complete without an ooey-gooey campfire s'more. This tackle box has room for all the essentials: graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, and roasting sticks.
A limited-edition Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 71 shimmering body cream to wrap your skin in a subtle golden glow — like if the Cullens could tan — while hydrating and softening, and evening your skin tone. And the caramelized vanilla and toasted macadamia nut scent will have you smelling like a literal snack.
A pack of light-blocking strips for eliminating the pesky light leakage that happens around the edges of the blinds, even blackout blinds. They attach via magnets, so installation and removal is easy peasy lemon squeezy. Just as easy as falling asleep during a bright summer day or sleeping in even when the summer sun rises at 5:30 a.m.
A set of espresso martini instant cocktail tea bags if your bank account cries every time you order an $18 espresso martini. Enjoy your fave bevvy at home for way cheaper and without having to put on real clothes and shout across the table at your friends because the restaurant has the volume turned way up.
A ~frightfully fun~ skeleton hand serving set that'll ~give you a hand~ at your next dinner party. Is it too early to be thinking about spooky season? Methinks not!
A moisturizing doggie sunscreen with SPF 30 so your four-legged friend, who ofc loves sun-bathing when it's 95 degrees, has some defense against the sun's rays.
A wig dryer stand because waiting hours (or even days) for your freshly washed wig to dry is not the move. Instead of hanging your wet wig on the bathroom door handle, place it over the mannequin head, insert the dryer, and let the ventilation holes dry the hair faster than you thought possible.
A weekly keyboard planner to help you organize your tasks and visualize the work week. It's undated, so you can use it only when you need it instead of buying a dated planner and then feeling like you've wasted money because you only filled half the book.
An innovative hardshell suitcase — OK, so you know when you've got your suitcase precariously balanced on an itty-bitty luggage rack and with the suitcase fully open, it takes up like 50% of the free space in your shoebox-sized hotel room? This suitcase's trunk-style opening changes the game! It offers deeper storage space (so go ahead and *stuff* those packing cubes) and easy access to stuff in your carry-on — no more having to open the entire clamshell and reveal to your gate every single thing you packed because you need to grab a hairbrush.
An airtight Deli ProKeeper if the sensory experience of pulling a piece of slimy ham from a damp deli meat package is *shudders* enough to make you no longer hungry for lunch. This container is designed to extend the life of your deli meats and cheeses and has a grooved bottom, meaning your turkey isn't sitting in its juices.
A pack of Lego highlighters that'll make the slog of note-taking or studying feel a little more fun. They're also a great fidget toy!
A Chasin' Rabbits eye cream roller so you can moisturize and potentially de-puff your under-eye area with a wave of your magic wand. The pen dispenses a brightening under-eye cream, which you can then rub in with the steel rollerballs. It'll be like a nice lil' eye massage too!
A pack of carborundum sponges because these are the heavy hitters you'll want for stains and gunk that no other sponge is strong enough to handle.
A midi dress with the most darling ruffled tiers to make you look like a literal work of art.
A K-Beauty hair perfume oil for whatever the hair equivalent of "glass skin" is. "Glass hair"? It'll add a glossy sheen while calming frizz and flyaways *and* it leaves behind a subtle scent for hours — 14 hours, according to one reviewer.. And someone else said it added more softness and shine than Olaplex, so, like, do with that info what you will.
A pretty ~dope~ Doap bar if plain old soap and water isn't strong enough to unstick the sticky dough that's stuck to your hands. Instead of dirtying (and ruining) a perfectly good sponge, clean your hands with a Doap bar. The textured knobs will remove stubborn dough like magic!
A delightfully stress-free This Annoying Life coloring book that'll help you find humor in the frustrations and pains of everyday life — like stepping on Lego bricks with bare feet. At least you can choose the color of the bricks!
A waterless and instant makeup brush cleaner so you can skip the hours-long process of washing and drying your makeup brushes. This spray penetrates the brush hairs and melts oils and pigments fast while drying pretty much instantly. Wow!
