This Blister Blocker Balm Is a Big Miracle In A Little Tube
If you've ever had to wear pinchy high heels for hours or break in stiff new shoes, the painful, blistery memories will be all too vivid. Thankfully some hero invented this all-natural, non-greasy

This ergonomic
Zeroll ice cream scoop

This Bed Sheet Tucker Tool Makes It Easy To Make Your Bed
Like everyone and their mother these days, we recently got a memory foam mattress and what they don't tell you is how
heavy
those suckers are. It's so cumbersome to lift the mattress corners, end and sides to tuck in your top sheet, especially if you have any shoulder or arm injuries. This
bed sheet tucker tool
tightly and effortlessly tucks the sheets without making you lift the mattress - might be incentive enough for the kids to start making their beds...
This Puzzle Rolling Mat Is A Frustration-Free Storage Solution
Puzzles are so much fun for kids and adults, but they can easily take over a dining table and are a pain to store. This

lets you neatly roll up a still in-progress puzzle without messing it up or losing any pieces. It holds up to 1500 puzzle pieces, has a convenient hanging strap so you can store it tidily away until next time and a label so you know which puzzle's inside! I have a feeling Marie Kondo would wholeheartedly approve.
