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 hanger...yeah, 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 shed...on everything..roll 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:
