A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser to remind you that life is, in fact, too short to skip on your delicious morning cuppa.

And a parent-beloved, Shark Tank-featured FunBites Food Cutter designed for both adults *and* kids to use on everything from fruits to veggies to cheese to sandwiches, helping make mealtimes more fun and hands-on. (And encouraging picky eaters to broaden their horizons, one "FunBite" at a time!)
A four-pack of silicone straw soda can lids that are like, "Oh, you're obsessed with Diet Coke? Let me find you a reason to be even MORE obsessed." Reviewers love these not just for the ~thrill~ of a straw, but because the covers make the cans a whole lot more spill-proof, prevent your drink from going flat, and protect your can from bugs and debris during outdoor hangs.
A handy dandy condiment fork with a holder you can wrap right around a jar of olives or pickles so it'll always be at your disposal when you suddenly *need* a pickle but don't want to put your hands in the jar.

A mini donut maker to keep anyone with a sweet tooth occupied — truly, can you think of anything in this universe more delicious than a warm homemade donut?? I'll wait.

All you have to do is add three ounces of cold water, 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, and the tea sachet into a glass, and you'll have a delicious cocktail in one minute.
A cult-favorite Flairisol Olivia, a continuous oil sprayer with built-in portion control that has won the allegiance of reviewers from professional chefs to at-home bakers. The ultra-fine spray makes it ridiculously easy to work with, especially for people tracking nutrition stats for their own sake or for a restaurant's — each spray is equivalent to one gram of oil for easy measuring.
A "shark bites" mini hot dog mold sure to make ~waves~ when you show up to the next neighborhood cookout with the coolest snack of all. Sorry, pigs in a blanket; your time in the spotlight is over.
A double-sided cutting board *and* defrosting board with enough capabilities to make your lil' brain spin. One side of the board is made with food-grade stainless steel for cutting meat while the other is made with wheat straw for cutting fruits and veggies, helping save cutting board space and preventing cross-contamination. But reviewers also note that the stainless-steel side is *excellent* for defrosting meat faster, and the built-in garlic grinder on the wheat straw side is also a handy little time saver!
A electric potato peeler worthy of a permanent spot on your counter. Not only does it effortlessly peel potatoes, but it can handle pretty much any peeled produce you throw at it, from apples to kiwis to oranges to tomatoes. (To be clear, though, your highest priority should *always* be mashed potato-ing.)
A bottle of truffle seasoning for an instant upgrade on homemade meals that honestly has become one of my only personality traits, to the point where I'm just like, begging you to try it. I should gatekeep this stuff so I can have it all to myself but it is such a delicious and satisfying and ridiculously affordable alternative to real truffles that I'm throwing the gates WIDE OPEN.
A "Slice'n Store" butter dish that will stop you from dirtying a bunch of butter knives and leaving them on the counter. All you do is pop this out of the fridge, slice of a lil' (or large) slab with the built-in blade, and be on your merry, buttery way.
A nonstick heart-shaped egg and pancake pan so precious that if breakfast wasn't already your favorite meal of the day, it's about to steal your literal *and* figurative heart now.
A penguin-shaped egg cooker and holder that makes it ridiculously easy to make easy-, medium-, and hard-boiled eggs on the stove, *plus* keep them safe afterward. No more sticking your eggs back in the fridge and confusing them for the raw ones anymore — you can just pop the little penguins in there for storage.
A set of convenient suctioning "Food Cubby" dividers to portion out plates so food, sauces, and dressings don't co-mingle — perfect for picky eaters young *and* old who would rather pretend that we don't live in a world where broccoli and mac 'n' cheese are occasionally allowed to touch.
A set of silicone teacup cupcake liners so you can have your cake and "drink" it, too. Reviewers loved these for tea parties and cupcake decorating parties!
A PopLite personal popcorn maker with a built-in serving bowl that will give you eight cups of movie theater-quality popcorn in two mere mortal minutes. Reviewers especially love that the popcorn doesn't burn, and the machine doesn't leave unpopped kernels like the usual microwave brands.
A set of airtight Oui yogurt jar lids (with labels included!) so instead of recycling your gorgeous little yogurt jars, you can repurpose them to store food, spices, supplies, and all kinds of other handy options. As someone whose main aesthetic is "yogurt," I approve. Reviewers say these worked with La Fermière jars, too!
A magnetic air fryer cheat sheet to help minimize effort and maximize deliciousness, no googling, overthinking, or confusing cooking methods required.
A rapid ramen cooker that gets the job done in the microwave in just three minutes so you don't have to waste any time babysitting the stove or measuring out the water just right — just fill to the line, pop it in, and let the magic happen.
A little snack dispenser to keep your fingers clean if you're typing or gaming — with this gizmo, you can just deposit nuts, Goldfish, M&M's, and other delicious small things right into your mouth, like a tiny snack butler. Pet owners also love it for distributing treats!
A color-coded Cuisinart knife set so not only will you have the perfect blade for each task like a true profesh, but you'll be able to avoid cross-contamination without having to pause and wipe everything down every time you transition to a new food. 🌈

If You Wanna Feel Like An Adult, Get These 26 Products
A jar of the TikTok-famous Pink Stuff that single-handedly made an entire generation of young adults obsessed with cleaning. You can use it on cars, on grout, on cookware, on glass, on stovetops, on name it, you can probably use Pink Stuff on it. So, if your new apartment has a suspiciously stained bathroom sink, you absolutely can and should clean it. A ChomChom pet hair remover because when you were a kid, you didn't even realize your beloved, shaggy pup was leaving a trail of fluff wherever they went, but as an adult — it's all you can see. 😵💫 But don't fret, this little gadget will keep your couches, clothes, and carpets fur free. It picks up hair way better than any lint roller, and it's not going to scare your pets like a vacuum would. A set of Paris Hilton coupe glasses that'll actually feel like an upgrade from your undergrad years. It's time to stop pregaming out of the bottle or with plastic cups — you deserve actual luxury (even if your budget has basically been the same since you were in college). Plus, some wine drops to potentially help with those pesky headaches that seem to crop up every time you have a glass now. I mean, a pulsing head from drinking is basically a rite of passage into adulthood, but you shouldn't have to suffer through them just to enjoy a little sip. An as-seen-on Shark Tank grocery bag carrier that'll help you unload all those Target bags in just one trip. One minute you're a child being enlisted by your parent to help bring groceries in, and the next thing you know, you're the parent, and all of your kids are refusing to help. Thanks, guys. 🙄 A bottle of Wet n Forget Shower Cleaner to keep your bathroom from looking like it belongs in a frat house. Here's the good news, though — using this cleaner actually requires you to put in the same level of effort as a Sigma Chi brother would put into his last relationship. That's right: none at all! Just drench your tub, wait 8–12 hours, and rinse. No scrubbing, no trying. A pack of compression socks, because circulation regulation is no joke, especially as you get older. Compression socks can help promote healthy blood flow and can be part of an effective pain management routine. If you work a job where you stand for most of the day (servers, nurses, and teachers — I'm looking at you), you might want to give these a try. Oh, and pregnant reviewers are *loving* these for leg and feet swelling. An earth-shattering, conversation-starting card game because it's time our party games are as sophisticated as us. And, unlike Uno, We're Not Really Strangers will build relationships — not destroy them. This game is packed with questions that'll search your heart and bare your soul. A durable, plastic frame for all your loose posters hung up with Scotch tape. C'mon, now — this is not your college dorm. Have some decorum and use a frame. Even if your budget isn't quite ready for professionally framed art, you can still elevate your wall-hangings with this affordable beauty. A Tree of Life retinol serum that it's probably time to start using if you remember the blue, opaque Scooby Doo gummy. This serum could help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots with regular use. This particular formula is infused with hyaluronic acid and absorbs super quickly, so you can immediately layer it under your favorite moisturizer before bed for maximum benefits. Plus some Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen you'll want to use daily (and diligently 😉) especially if you use retinol, which can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. This product has SPF 40, boasts a nongreasy feel, and can be used as a makeup primer. An Oxo can opener, because if it's your first time buying one, you might as well get the best version. It's stainless steel and is built to last — and it has oversized, comfortable handles (with cushioning!!) that are designed to have a non-slip grip, even when they're wet. And a smooth-edge can opener so no matter where you are, you can finally drink your beers topless. Wait, hold on — I meant that the can could be topless anywhere. You *might* have to keep your shirt on. Sorry for the mix-up... 😔 A Squatty Potty to help you get in an optimal pooping position and move those stubborn turds along. Why does aging come with the free gift of constipation? Like, why couldn't the added bonus of getting older be an expensive cheese wheel or something? And some Gas-X, as if constipation wasn't enough — you're bloated now, too. These handy little tablets break down painful, existing gas trapped inside you and make it WAYYY easier to pass (which is why you might initially toot and burp a bunch after taking it). And, because you're an adult with your own Amazon account, you can buy these online and save yourself from making eye contact with a cashier while buying many, many packs of these. Some foaming garbage disposal packets that'll help keep your sink looking (and smelling) fresh. If you've recently acquired your first disposal-having sink, heed my words: Yes, you absolutely do need to clean it. This is a great option, especially if you have the responsibilities of an adult but the gross-smell tolerance of a petulant child. All you need to do is run a bit of hot water, throw the packet in, and turn on the disposal. Boom. Clean. A knee pillow you'll need if you've noticed that side-sleeping is beginning to get a This pillow can help with the hip and knee pain associated with side-sleeping, and provide some *amazing* pressure-relieving support. A set of reusable Loop earplugs that'll help muffle any sleep-disturbing noises because for some reason, aging has made you the reigning monarch of Light Sleeperdom. Each pair comes with four sets of silicone ear tips in different sizes, so you can pick the best fit and enjoy a quiet rest that's actually comfortable, too. Plus some Loop Experience earplugs for concerts, crowds, and otherwise noisy venues. Whether you've already dealt with noise-induced hearing loss or are just trying to help out future you, these are designed to protect your hearing from damage while still letting you, well, experience the world around you. Getting older means paying a little bit more attention to your health, but it doesn't mean you have to give up having fun. A keyboard calendar so reminiscent of the agendas that schools used to give us in middle school that you'll actually use it — just for pure nostalgia's sake. Plus, this planner comes blank, so you can literally just use it whenever — no need to wait until the first of the month to start! A set of detergent drip-catchers that'll finally cure the adulting ailment of laundry soap spills on your floor. Yes, there actually is a solution to this annoying problem. A drain snaking kit with a reusable handle and five disposable yes, you should absolutely be cleaning your drains. If your bathtub has been pooling forever, you probably have a gnarly clog — and you don't have to just deal with your feet getting pruned every time you take a shower. Just stick a snake down there — you might just be able to pull out a wig's worth of hair. Some sweat-wicking bra liners, because gravity might have done its thing on your tatas over the years, and now your underboobs sweat like a cold drink on a hot day. These magical inventions can help with that uncomfortable, moist feeling — and the rashes that come with it. A Baseboard Buddy that'll allow you to clean those little dust-magnets *without* hurting your back and your knees. The handy, flexible design makes it so you can clean baseboards and crown moulding without bending or straining. Plus, the dusting pads are reusable and machine washable. Some Catrice "Instant Awake" under-eye brightener because sometimes, as we get older, we just can't seem to get enough sleep. This can help conceal dark circles with a more natural finish than a traditional 'color correcting' concealer. It's lightweight, buildable, and formulated with hyaluronic acid and shea butter for a seamless, skin-like finish. And a porcelain butter dish, because nothing says "I'm a functioning adult with my life together" like having a designated container for one of your kitchen's most-loved dairy products. Fake it 'til you make it, right?

The best coffee makers for making cold brew at home
While many people enjoy their coffee hot, cold caffeinated beverages, like iced coffee and cold brew, are equally popular. If you drink cold brew year-round, including when it's freezing outside, a proper at-home coffee maker can save you trips to the local cafe and a lot of money. That being said, we consulted coffee experts about how to make cold brew at home and rounded up top-rated cold brew coffee makers based on their guidance. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. How we picked the best cold brew coffee makers Here's what our experts told us to think about when making this list: Capacity: Some cold brew makers make a few servings for one person, while others are best suited for homes with multiple people. Our roundup covers a range of capacities. Style: Some cold brew makers are carafes with a built-in filter. Other styles may call for straining yourself or are dispensers, similar to a water filter. We made sure to include all of these types of cold brew makers and more. Filter types: Cold brew makers often have filters made from metal or paper. Most of the cold brew makers on this list have metal filters, since they're reusable and easy to clean. This stylish cold brew maker has a removable and reusable mesh filter in the middle that is attached to the lid. Simply add your coffee grounds, pour cold water over it and allow it to settle for 24 hours. It's dishwasher safe and can make up to 6 cups of cold brew. This geometrically shaped cold brew maker is made of durable borosilicate glass, which does a great job of withstanding both high and low temperatures, according to NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez. The fine mesh filter, also attached to the lid, can hold up to 100 ounces of coffee grounds and it has a removable cap to make cleaning easier. With this cold brew maker, you add your coffee grounds to the brewing container, and then put on Oxo's Rainmaker top, which is perforated to allow more even distribution when you pour in your water. Then, the coffee and water blend sits for 12-24 hours for optimal flavor extraction, says the brand. The coffee maker has a stainless steel mesh filter and comes with a glass carafe lined with measurement markings that you place underneath a spout when you're ready to serve the beverage. The carafe comes with a stopper so you can cover the cold brew when storing it in the refrigerator. To make coffee with this cold brew coffee maker, combine 6 ounces of water with every 2 ounces of coffee in the stainless steel steeper. There's a spigot built in, so you can dispense your cold brew right from the machine when it's ready to serve. KitchenAid says the cold brew maker is compact enough to fit in most refrigerators and on countertops, and it has a carrying handle on top for easy transport. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin bought this cold brew coffee maker to fit in her dorm's mini fridge during college. It operates similarly to a French press. You add coffee grounds and water into the carafe and let it steep before pushing down the plunger to separate the grounds from your beverage. The cold brew maker also comes with a flat lid you can use to store the coffee in your refrigerator. All components of this machine are dishwasher-safe, according to the brand. Instead of waiting hours for your cold brew to be ready, Instant's electric cold brew maker prepares the beverage in about 20 minutes. The brand says it uses its FlashExtract technology, which quickly spins what's inside the pitcher, to get the most flavor out of coffee grounds. You can also customize the brew strength according to your preferences. The machine comes with a machine-washable pitcher, lid and brewing basket, as well as the electronic base. The Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker is designed with a fine mesh filter you add coffee grounds to and place inside the included pitcher with water to steep. The pitcher pairs with an airtight lid and it has a non-slip silicone handle. The brand says the cold brew maker fits inside most refrigerator doors. You can also purchase it as a smaller 1-quart size. Instead of a metal filter, Toddy's cold brew machine uses felt filters to brew your beverage. You add ground coffee and water into the included brewing container and let it steep for 12 to 24 hours before filtering the cold brew into the glass decanter. The cold brew maker system also comes with a lid for the decanter to use when you store the beverage in the refrigerator, a silicone stopper to place on top of the brewing container when it's being used and two reusable filters. How to shop for a cold brew coffee maker Choosing the best cold brew coffee maker for you depends on your personal preferences. Below are the features you should consider when shopping: Choose a size: The size of your cold brew maker will depend on how much coffee you drink and how big your fridge is. 'A larger brewer might make more concentrate, but it might be inconvenient to store and put in the fridge,' Holmquist says. Choose a filter type: It's best to use filters made from paper, metal mesh or cloth, according to Suarez. While they all have their drawbacks, they also provide different benefits. Paper filters often provide the purest taste but they aren't reusable. While metal filters are easy to clean, they let through a decent amount of sediment and can give you a cloudy cup of cold brew, according to Suarez. Reusable cloth filters are also effective, but they can be difficult to clean and tend to retain the oils from the coffee for a long time. Overall, Suarez recommends choosing a cold brew maker with a metal mesh filter and/or a paper filter bag to 'maximize quality and sustainability.' Keep clean-up in mind: Certain types of cold brew coffee makers can be more difficult to clean up. According to Holmquist, bottle brewers like the Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker have smaller grounds chambers that are tougher to scrub, while machines like the OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker have larger chambers 'that you can dump and rinse out.'

31 Things That Will Solve So Many Of Your Home Problems
A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air! A standing weeder because the worst part of gardening is kneeling for hours plucking weeds. My back hurts just thinking about it! Thankfully, this tool has three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing. And a crack weeder tool so your knuckles aren't scratched and bloodied after a session of sidewalk weed pulling. This stainless steel tool is designed to get into tight sidewalk cracks and remove stubborn thistles, weeds, and moss with ease. A set of snap-on sheet labels that'll spare you the annoyance of unraveling your neatly wrapped bed linens only to realize you grabbed the queen-size sheets instead of the king-size. Rookie mistake! A dirty dishwasher indicator if you find yourself thinking, "What's it gonna be today?" when you open your dishwasher. If your household doesn't consistently flip the clean/dirty dishwasher magnets, try this instead! It sits inside your dishwasher, so you know if dishes are clean or dirty depending on whether the container has water in it. A no-tools-required Boona dual-showerhead (of Shark Tank fame) to make tandem showers a romantic experience instead of fighting with your partner because someone is roasty toasty under the showerhead, and the other person is shivering in the back of the tub. Parents love this thing for getting kids in and out of the shower without fights over the water. A couch guard for keeping your dog — who knows darn well that the sofa is off-limits — off of your furniture. It's durable, yet the pieces have a curved edge so they won't hurt any naughty pooches who see your absence as permission to go where they know they shouldn't be. A hoodie hanger because one hoodie per that's not gonna cut it with your small closet. And don't even get me started on folding hoodies! You can only stack them one high in a drawer! So inefficient! Just grab one of these six-pronged hangers and use 'em for your hoodies, T-shirts, bras, belts, purses, hats, and more. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip. A pack of towel clips that'll prevent kids and pets from pulling down the towel. Or, maybe you have neither of those things, yet your hand and kitchen towels always end up on the ground. An outlet extender if your bed, couch, cabinets, etc., can't lie flat against the wall because a pesky cord is in the way. This adapter has three outlets, so you can push your bed flat against the wall and still plug in the charger. A magnetic dryer ball holder to make laundry day a fuss-free affair. Instead of rooting around your living room looking for one of the dozen dryer balls you swear you own (and which have all inevitably rolled off and behind the dryer), you can easily grab one from this organizer. Plus, if you attach this holder to the side of your machine or a nearby shelf = *chef's kiss* A bulb changer for homeowners with ultra-high ceilings or just a desire to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground for bulb changes — I don't blame ya! It works on nonsmooth bulbs that regular suction cups won't adhere to, and it has built-in leveling features to ensure you screw in the bulb evenly. 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 pair of hat racks so you can actually see all the hats you own. A water dispenser leveler that'll probably elicit a literal "OMG" from you now that you know there is a solution to the annoying problem of it being nearly impossible to fully fill a glass with water from the fridge because of the current angle of the spout. A kid's vacuum (from Shark Tank!) if your home feels like it's covered in landmines, aka stray Lego bricks. The vac has separate compartments for dirt/dust and Lego pieces, so your little one can go to town on their toys, and you have one less mess to clean up yourself! A litter-sifting tub to make cleaning your kitty's litterbox as simple as pouring, sifting, and tossing! And bonus — this will save you money since you can reuse the clean litter. Simply dump a full litterbox into the litter sifter, and it'll separate the clumps into one section and the clean litter into the bin below. Then, dispose of the clumps and pour the clean litter back into your kitty's litterbox. An onion holder for a more secure grip and more evenly sized slices of onions, tomatoes, lemons, eggs, potatoes, and fruits. You can even use it as a meat tenderizer! Two products for the price of one! A Tub Topper because parents everywhere, bathtime is about to change forever. It attaches with suction cups to the lip of the tub and acts as a splash guard, toy tray, and a fun zone thanks to the flat surface, which allows for play. A renter-friendly, rechargeable battery–powered Poplight wall sconce so you can make up for your apartment's abysmal lighting with an actually cute light fixture that doesn't require you to kiss your security deposit goodbye by drilling into the wall or hiring an expensive electrician. Some plant cleaning wipes with neem oil that'll lift those water spots (ugh, what an eyesore!) as well as dirt and dust on the leaves, making it easier for your photosynthesize more effectively. Not only will you have beautiful shiny leaves, but you may also notice fewer pests thanks to the neem oil, a well-known insecticide and repellent with antifungal properties. An organization-enhancing vacuum stand if your Dyson's parts are just piled in a corner in your laundry room and you can never find the attachment you're looking for. A screen shelf to display knickknacks or hold TV remotes, game controllers, routers, cable boxes, gaming consoles, modems, streaming devices, DVD players, speakers, clocks, and more. You can also attach it to your computer monitor if you're office is lacking in usable desk space. A picture frame for both 1) properly showing off your budding artist's latest creation, and 2) creating some hidden storage for your kiddo's growing oeuvre (It can hold up to 100 pieces — wow!). Luigi's sink and drain plunger, because it's-a-me, a mini tool that will help you live your best plumber life. But seriously, this handy blue guy will help clear backed-up kitchen and bathroom sinks with 8x the volume of air compared to a traditional plunger. And on the topic of drains, a DrainFunnel so you can quit your second job as a hair wrangler. Unlike hair catchers, this device actually allows hair to slip past the crossbars (where it usually catches and creates a clog) so it can slide down the drain and into the pipes. A nonslip silicone placement (it was featured on Shark Tank!) that'll corral spills thanks to its raised edges. And the built-in bumper is great for teething babies who want to gnaw on just about anything — including questionably clean restaurant table edges. *shudders* A stem support if your plants are climbers or top-heavy (this is natural for plants like bougainvillea, ivy, jasmine, monstera, and philodendron) and are leaning and flopping everywhere. This octopus-shaped stem holder helps keep your plants supported and growing upward. A pet hair roller to remind you that yes, you can own nice things!! If you love your fur babies but hate how much they this over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift away the fur. An ice cube tray with a bin for ensuring that you're never without ice. And removing the ice is so freakin' easy. Instead of twisting the tray to dislodge the ice cubes (and a few of the cubes inevitably refusing to come out), press down on the bottom of the tray and the cubes will release into the bin. You realizing you don't need to injure yourself this weekend just to weed the sidewalk: The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
