This Birdfeeder That Attaches Directly to Your Window

The best part of having a birdfeeder is being visited by birds (duh). But this window-mounted feeder offers something even better: An up-close-and-personal view of your feathered friends! I just recently put mine on the window in my office and I can't wait until my bird friends come to visit.

This Rainfall Shower Head That Basically Turned My Bathroom into a Spa

This was one of the first things I purchased after moving into a new apartment. I installed it myself in about five minutes and ever since, my showers are like mini getaways I get to take every day, and who doesn't want a mini vacay every day?

This Plug-in Air Sanitizer

This little sanitizer plugs directly into your outlet and sanitizes and deodorizes the air around it. I have one in both the living room and the bathroom and I think it really makes a difference in making the air feel much fresher.

This Magnetic Cable Organizer That Keeps My Sidetable Organized

I was getting sick of having to pick all my various charger cables up off the floor, so I went searching for a solution and found this. I like the wood-grain appearance and the fact that each cable clip fits three different sizes of cables.

This Milk Frother Is a Genius Parenting Hack

Perhaps the best secret in my arsenal of parenting hacks, this milk frother made calcium cool again. My eldest decided milk was gross one day, and images of future osteoporosis flashed before me. Then I remembered she loved the foamy milk on top of cappucino and found this little gadget. It creates mountains of foam and the kids love using it to make "fancy milk", which they request on the daily. #winning

These Bag Cinches Will Keep Your Bread Fresh

I'll be honest -- I bought these cinches because they reminded me of the little barrel-shaped things that came on Starter-brand sweatshirts in the 1990s, that I always wanted, and never had.

Well, these are about three times the size as those, and twice as cool! They work great to close basically any kind of bag, and are easy enough for kid-fingers to operate. And if you get stressed, they make a pretty decent spring-loaded stress reliever.

Gochujang Korean Hot Pepper Paste is the Perfect Mix of Hot, Sweet, and Tangy

My favorite hot sauce isn't hot sauce at all. I was introduced to Gochujang Korean Hot Pepper Paste by a Korean friend years ago and it has since become a staple in my fridge. It makes everything better.

This Charging Station Dock Can Bring Peace and Harmony to Your Family

Have you ever had a my-phone-is-more-dead-than-yours argument with someone you love? If so, then I suggest buying one of these Charging Station Docks. It tames the mess, and eliminates the competition for chargers.

This Vitamin C Serum That Smells Divine

I'll be honest: The main draw of this product was the fun squeezy-top bottle that it comes with. But it also smells so great and definitely leaves my skin feeling very hydrated and nourished.

These No-Tie Shoelaces Streamlined My Kids' Morning Routine

I'm so in love with these elastic no-tie shoelaces for making our mornings run much smoother. My kids don't have to fuss with tying shoes and boots when we're trying to rush out the door before they miss the bus, and shoes don't come untied during the day. They also fit adult sizes - you just trim to fit, pop on the plastic closure and go on your merry way! They turn any shoe into a slip-on, the best for moms with no extra hands or lazy people (I qualify for both).

These Big Wool Spheres Will Replace Dryer Sheets

I'm officially a member of the Big Wool Ball club. Seriously, throw out those dryer sheets and fabric softener. These solid wool balls are a wildly popular solution to soft and static-free clothes. They're cheap, and they last forever!

These Gentle and Effective Exfoliating Gloves

In my quest for a baby soft face, I decided to up my game from scrubs to some exfoliating gloves. This machine washable pair does wonders with a gentle touch, but a normal touch could pack a punch for rougher areas. Whether you need a clearer face or heels like butter, these gloves have your back.

You Need This Can Cooler for Your Next Party

Imagine it: You want to bring some drinks with you somewhere — either to a party, a picnic, camping, or to the beach — but you don't feel like lugging an entire cooler around and messing with ice and all that jazz. You don't need to!

This can cooler holds four canned beverages and insulated, meaning they'll stay nice and chilled until you get to your destination. The handy strap lets you carry them hands-free!

This Magnetic Phone Mount For My Car

The magnetic mount itself clips onto your car vent. Then, you put a thin metal disk inside your phone case for it to connect to. I cannot overstate how convenient this little gadget is. I even make sure to bring it with me whenever I'm traveling and using a rental car.

This Slim Laundry Basket Is Made for Small Spaces

Our washer and dryer are in a closet in our not-huge bathroom, and our old laundry hamper was too large for the space. Now we have these slim, streamlined laundry baskets (one for lights, one for darks) on wheels that easily roll to and from the laundry closet and hold a decent amount of clothing from our family of four. These would be great for small laundry rooms and apartments as well. They've held up really well for a few years of heavy use so far and look great!

I Use Aroma Naturals Vitamin K Moisturizing Cream as a Night Cream in the Summer, and a Daily Moisturizer in the Winter

I first stumbled across this Vitamin K Moisturizing Cream after my dermatologist recommended an extremely expensive vitamin K cream. Instead, this affordable cream did the trick. It's moisturizing enough for me as a night cream in the summer, when my skin tends to need a little less, and it's perfect as a daily moisturizer under my makeup in the winter when my skin tends to be drier.

This Conditioning Spray Detangles and Prevents Lice!

Frequent lice outbreaks strike fear in many a grade school parent's heart - just the thought of the little buggers makes me itchy. I saw this lice-repelling conditioning spray recommended on a mom blog and immediately bought it - we've been using it for years and haven't ever had a lice incident (knock on wood). It detangles my kids' curls effortlessly and smells really fresh.

These Hair Coils Never Pull, Tangle, or Get Stuck no Matter How Messy Your Messy Bun Is

Awhile back I saw a curly hair life-hack video that showed a woman twisting her hair up into a tight, high bun, and wrapping it with one of these Hair Coils before going to bed. In the morning, instead of bent, crushed, messy, horrible curls, her little bun unravelled into neat ringlets and waves. I immediately bought the hair ties and my morning hair is 1000x better than it ever was before.

Every Pet Owner Should Have Some FurZappers

These little sticky discs changed my clothes forever. They remove pet hair from your clothes while you wash and dry them! Just toss them in your washer whenever you're doing a load of laundry. The fur will stick to the discs instead of your clothes. You can also use them in the dryer to remove even more hair! They're reusable and safe to use on all types of clothing.

This Color-Changing Light Bulb Is Pretty Smart

I essentially live in a cave, so my favorite thing to do with this smart bulb is set sunrise alarms. I use the app to set the bulb to slowly brighten to the color of my choice over the course of 30 minutes. In addition to helping me rise and shine, the bulb can emit light in more colors than I could ever choose in my lifetime.

These Sticky Notes Are Also Divider Tabs, And Help Keep Me Sane

I'm not in school anymore, but that doesn't keep me from using these through my books, journals, calendars, you name it. You could stick them to the beginning of each chapter in your book and take notes covering the most important details.

This Sink Caddy Is the Perfect Place to Store Your Sponge

I used to keep my sponge and dish scrubber balanced precariously on the divider between the two sink halves, and let me just tell ya: It's not great. They constantly fall off into the sinks themselves and are also constantly soggy and kinda gross.

Then I got this simple, inexpensive caddy. It hangs off the faucet and provides the perfect little cubby for your sponge. It's like a little home for your sponge friend!

This Washable Scrubber Will Replace Your Sponge

Ditch the dirty sponge and grab one of these scrubbers. Unlike other eco-friendly options, they hold suds well, so you rest assured that you're dishes are getting clean. The best part? They're machine washable and dishwasher safe, so you can keep using one for up to a year!

This Digital Microscope That Gives a SUPER Close-Up View

Just plug this thing into your computer's USB port and grab a bunch of stuff from around the house to look at (I recommend socks, pennies, and sand!). It magnifies objects up 500 times so you really get an awesome view.

These Marker Pens That Came in a Convenient Storage Case

These are the perfect pens for bullet journaling. I've literally used them every single day for the past two years and they haven't dried up at all (even though I've definitely left the caps off overnight on a few occasions).

A Lightweight Vacuum for Lightweight Use

With the exception of clearing up broken glass, there's not much a broom can do that a vacuum can't do better. I love using this stick vacuum on hard floors and my low pile area rug. It can also easily get into little nooks and on stairs with the two handheld modes.

Contrary to popular belief, filters for this model are available straight from Bissell and I've never had an issue stocking up on them.

A Simple, Refreshing Toner

I'll be honest, I only really started taking care my face about a year ago, but I've grown to love this toner. So many toners rock a million bells and whistles (and price tags to match) when all you really need is witch hazel.

This witch hazel toner features rosewater for a pleasant scent and aloe vera — which has definitely helped calm my face down when I over-exfoliate. I never enjoyed using tons of cotton swabs, so I particularly love that they finally started putting this toner in a spray bottle.

Swimsuit Tape That’s Almost Too Sticky

I'm the proud owner of a knockout one-piece with a plunging neckline that is a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. This tape sticks fast, well, and it's waterproof. Peeling it off after a beach day is a price worth its effectiveness.

This Cheap 5-in-1 Wine Tool Makes Me Feel Fancy

It's an aerator, stopper, pourer, filter, and re-corker. Whew! It does pretty much everything except drink the wine for you — thankfully.

This simple tool only costs about 5 bucks, but I swear it makes even the cheapest bottles of wine taste much better. I've also used it for coffee syrups, sodas, sparkling waters, cooking oils, vinegars, and more.

These Chalk Markers Are So Satisfying

In a fit of domesticity earlier this year, I decided to up my meal-planning game and write the weekly menu on a cute chalkboard. The regular chalk was too dusty and blunt, so I was so happy to find these smooth, bright white chalk markers. They write like a dream and have reversible tips for thin or thick lines. Just use a wet paper towel or Magic Eraser when you're ready to erase!

These Harperton Nail Clippers Will Be The Last Ones You Ever Buy

If you haven't tried a REAL pair of nail clippers, trust me, you need to. These provide a completely different (and far superior) experience from those $2 clippers. I'm never looking back.

This Bubble Wrap Calendar That Will Give You a Reason To Get Up In The Morning

We've already know how great bubble wrap is, so what if you had the privilege of popping a bubble every single morning? This Bubble Wrap Calendar makes that dream a reality. You'll find yourself jumping out of bed in the morning to pop each day, and in the process with actually be able to remember what day of the week it is.

The Magic Stone Is the Barbecue Cleaner You've Been Looking For

My husband loves cooking out on the grill, but (surprise), does NOT love doing the cleanup. The Magic Stone makes it easier than ever to scrub all the grease, dirt, and grime off your grill with minimal effort on your part. It's made from heat-treated glass that is completely odorless, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic. It also prevents the spread of E. coli, salmonella, and other harmful bacteria.

This Shoe Rack Possibly Saved My Marriage

You could say I've got a bit of a shoe problem. They just always fit (unlike pants and swimsuits) and I like lots of footwear options, ok? The clutter drives my hubby crazy so we needed a storage solution that holds lots of shoes in a small space. This over-the-door shoe rack holds an impressive amount of pairs and fits easily on our closet door. There's even space for a pair of his shoes!

This Coconut Oil Cream is the Perfect Body Lotion and it Smells Amazing

I love this little tub of Coconut Oil Cream. I use it daily and my eczema-prone daughter also uses it to keep dry, itchy skin at bay. It doesn't have a strong, lingering, perfume-y smell and it will leave your skin baby soft.

The Ringer Is the Only Thing I Use to Scrub My Cast Iron Skillet

I love my cast iron skillet and am a little obsessive about keeping the seasoning in good condition. The Ringer lets me scrub any baked-on crud off of it without damaging the seasoning. I've been using it for several years with no complaints.

I Was Totally Surprised By How Much I Like This Anti-Frizz Microfiber Hair Towel

I bought this microfiber hair towel mostly for the button. I wanted something that would stay easily and securely in place, rather than using my giant, cumbersome, and completely not secure regular towel as a hair wrap. What I didn't expect was how much this improved my hair. It really does make it less frizzy and more curly. I don't know how or why, and I don't care. I love this thing.

This Sleek Air Purifier Will Help You Breathe Easier

I took a chance on this air purifier last year when it was pretty new. Over a year later and tons of reviews from those caught in proximity to California wildfires, both me and thousands of people agree that this purifier's a hit. It has a True HEPA filter — replacements are dirt cheap — that will help you do everything from dusting less to surviving wildfire season with intact lungs.

The Rotring 600 Is the Best Mechanical Pencil Ever Made

Beloved by architects, designers, draftspeople, and myself, the German-engineered Rotring 600 may be the perfect writing implement. A solid brass body provides a weighty feel, which, coupled with a nicely knurled grip, allows ultra-precise use. Plus, it just looks really, really cool.

These Gel Pens Are Smooth as Silk

A friend gifted me some adult coloring books last Christmas and the kids' dried-up markers weren't cutting it for the intricate illustrations. Enter this set of 48 gel pens. The colors are amazingly bright. These smooth pens are perfect for coloring, doodling or jotting down notes - over 1,000 five-star reviews aren't wrong!

The Anker Soundbuds Are the Best Inexpensive Bluetooth Headphones on Amazon

I use these headphones every single day. Not only are they comfortable, they also block out almost ALL noise, and have a surprisingly long battery life for their category (right around 9 hours per charge). Sure, they can't compete with $160 Airpods for ultimate convenience, but considering they're only $27, they're just about perfect.

These Dirt Cheap Drain Snakes Both Disgust And Fascinate Me

This Digital Scale Is Sleek and Accurate

During my annual New Year health kick I did a search for the best digital bathroom scale and found this baby. It's incredibly sleek and thin so you can store it away easily and has been very accurate so far. Super easy to use, just step on and the backlit display quickly pops up with your weight. It even comes with batteries for added convenience!

This Zinc Sunscreen Goes on Clear!

As a very pale mom of two redheaded kids, sun protection is non-negotiable in this house. This zinc sunscreen is perfect for faces, and the best part is it's immediately effective so you don't have to apply 30 minutes before going outside. (Which for kids waiting to go in the pool is equivalent to 798 years). Good news is that it's free of Oxybenzone, parabens and other yucky stuff, and it's reef friendly.

Clean Your Makeup Brushes with This Cleaner Sponge

This product really shines if you happen to be applying more than one color with the same brush. Rather than just tapping the brush off or rubbing it with a tissue, simply swirl it on this sponge. It removes all the remaining eyeshadow from the brush, allowing you to switch colors without muddying up your look.

You don't have to use any chemicals or wait for the brush to dry!

This Skin Tag Remover That's Much Less Horrifying Than It Seems

Skin tags are just plain gross, and I've been blessed with lots of them. Also, it seems like every year I wake up around my birthday with a new one. Why me?! I bet Beyoncé doesn't have to deal with these unsightly afflictions!

Luckily, I don't either, thanks to this skin tag remover. Yes, the concept sounds scary, but trust me, it's not. And it really works.

This Tiny Gadget Not Only Charges Your Devices, But Also Adds Bluetooth Functionality To Your Car

Feel like taking that 20th-century car into the 21st? Bluetooth amazingness is a ROAV adapter away. For those of us who like to "get the most out of their investments" (aka, drive an outdated car until it's basically dead), the concept of Bluetooth audio always seemed out of reach. Until now.

This thing not only charges your phone, but it also acts as a Bluetooth receiver that hooks up to your car stereo. Voila! My 2004 Highlander has been thrust into the 21st century.

And Now For Something Completely Different. My Favorite Recent Find is This 2-Person Inflatable Kayak

My husband and I have wanted kayaks for years. But they're big and expensive, and we'd have to invest in a car rack, and a garage rack, and the whole thing seemed like too much of an investment for something we'd only use a few times per year. Then, this summer, we found these 2-Person Inflatable Kayaks. THESE ARE AWESOME. They inflate easily and in no time. They can easily be used as double kayaks. And the best part is that when we're done, it takes about 5-10 minutes to deflate them and fold them away into their carrying bags to easily fit into our car. Every time we've taken them out people have approached us to ask where they can buy them. I'm starting to think I should be sponsored by Intex.

This Apple Slicer Changed My Life

Ok, maybe that's a bit dramatic but it's totally true! As a mom of two ravenous, apple-loving kids, I used to spend so much time chopping fruit into small pieces so nobody chokes. This apple slicer and corer cuts 16 perfect pieces with one push - the best part is the kids can even do it themselves so I can get back to playing Words With Friends.

This Children's Chef Knife Is Perfect for Budding Cooks

My seven-year-old loves helping chop veggies but her current knife skills give me a heart attack. To make sure she keeps all her fingers and doesn't bleed all over dinner, we got her this beginner chef knife and it's working like a charm. The handle is heavy enough and the blade sharp enough to cut crunchy veggies and soft fruit (but not little fingers) and sized right for small hands.

This Decadent Hot Cocoa

Pro tip: Cadbury chocolate you buy in America is basically the same as Hershey's chocolate. Being an avid cocoa lover, especially in the winter months, I make a point to buy Cadbury Drinking Chocolate from England.

In addition to making the coziest cuppas (skip the water, just milk or a milk substitute will melt your heart), this cocoa powder is baking-friendly. My chocolate banana muffins have never been the same!

This Portable Ring Light for Perfect Low-Light Photos

This rechargeable ring light clips onto my phone to light both selfies and regular photos. With three brightness settings, I always get great shots without blinding anyone in the process.

A Tissue Box Holder That Feels Like Home

Let your tissue box become decor with this little house. It fits standard-sized tissue boxes while looking adorable. Just make sure you remove all of the plastic from the top of tissue box to stabilize it and you're good to go.

This Korean Sunscreen Doubles as a Primer

As a reckless teenager I didn't practice safe sun and have definitely dealt with repercussions, evident from the basal cell skin cancer removal scars on my face. Sun protection is an essential part of my everyday routine but I detest the smell and feel of most sunscreens, especially on my face. I read about this Korean sunscreen on reddit and fell in love - it's more milky than creamy, not greasy and the "soft finish" dries matte so it doubles as a primer. I love that there's no white cast and the SPF protection is more sophisticated than brands typically sold in the US.

This Sturdy, Rust-Proof Shower Caddy

Who can't use a little more storage space in their shower? This flexible, yet sturdy silicone caddy hooks onto your showerhead and stays put. Little knob hooks on the side are great for loofahs and there are even circular holsters nearly empty product bottles.

With This Gap Cleaning Brush You'll Have The Cleanest Window Tracks On The Block

There are literally decades of dust living in the crevices of my windows right now, awaiting attack by the Trycooling Brush. These are so cheap, I ordered a few on the chance they'd work. Well, they do. I swept out literally decades of dust living in the crevices of my windows. Disgusting? Yes. Satisfying? Oh yeah.

If You Have a Body, You Should Also Have a High-Density Round Foam Roller

Nothing attacks sore muscles as thoroughly, and sometimes painfully, as a good foam roller. But even if you're not into that hurts-so-good type of self torture, rolling out your back is the best feeling in the world.

These Pencil Grips Are Teacher-Endorsed

My 2nd grader still has trouble with the pinch grip, so I was looking for some of the old school triangle-shaped grips I used as a kid. These modern pencil grips are SO MUCH BETTER. One reviewer who's a teacher says they're "perfect for hands of all sizes and learning to hold a pencil correctly". They come in a set of 6 bright colors that my daughter loved and we saw a big improvement in her writing immediately!

This Syrup Dispenser That I’ve Never Used for Syrup

I think all the maple syrup bottles I've ever bought did the job just fine. This dispenser sits in my fridge holding canned evaporated milk because it makes the perfect cup of tea. Pouring the creamy milk is a spill-free process and I like that the clear glass lets me know exactly when I'm running low. You can use it for its intended purpose or as a table cream dispenser on those big breakfast mornings.

I Said Bye-Bye to Dry, Chapped Lips With This Collagen Lip Mask

Perfect for dry, chapped lips in need of pampering, this 20-pack of collagen masks will moisturize and soothe your lips. Yes, they look hilarious (so definitely take a selfie), but they also come loaded with aloe, strawberry extract, and other healing ingredients. I recommend lying down while wearing them, since they don't stay in place without a little help from gravity.
