Press Your Luck
via AmazonSome people are coffee drinkers and some people are coffee connoisseurs. You can be in the latter if you grab this fancy French press coffee maker. It comes in 21- and 34-oz. sizes and chic colors like bronzer, pewter, and black. The carafe is made from high-resistant glass and it features a four-tier filtration system so your cuppa always tastes like you live with a barista.
Reusable Straws Since Straws are Basically Outlawed
via AmazonSince plastic straws are basically outlawed, you might as well snag this set of reusable ones while they're still on sale for less than $10. Each one is made from stainless steel that won't rust over time — and the smooth caps on the end give your lips a comfortable place to grip onto.
Don't Project On Me
via Amazon
There's just something about watching a show or movie outside that makes it more fun than doing it indoors. Just think: Wouldn't the kids love to watch their favorite characters while hanging out in the swimming pool? This mini-projector will do the trick. Once priced at several hundred dollars, mini-projectors like this one have dropped to being supremely affordable, making you the coolest parent on the block.
The Uplifting Daily Affirmations You Need
via AmazonWhen you're in a rut and need a little energy boost, look no further. These water bottles will give you all the motivation you need while keeping you hydrated throughout the day. Soon, you'll be crossing off all your fitness and health goals and everyone will be asking you how you did it. We know you've got this.
All Oiled Up
via AmazonI know that you could use your olive oil in the bottle it was in when you purchased it, but why would you? This glass olive oil dispenser is both elegant and functional and just looks better sitting out on your kitchen counters. The non-drip design and clear bottle markings make both dispensing and refilling a breeze. It also comes with additional accessories like a funnel for refills and two different spout caps.
Make the Best S'mores of Your Life With Campfire Skewers
via AmazonWhat would a summer be without s'mores around the campfire? These campfire skewers help you get the perfect golden toast on your marshmallows (or hot dogs), so you can enjoy all of your favorite campfire foods with very little effort.
You're Never Going to Want to Take These Slippers Off
via AmazonI got these slippers as a gift, and I haven't taken them off since! I wear them from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to sleep. They're so comfortable that I've even walked out of the house in them once or twice.
These Pads Catch Eyeshadow Fallout
via Amazon
Nothing kills my vibe like painting a sleek eyeshadow look, only to have fallout dust across my cheeks — that's why I use these pads. Any eyeshadow fallout lands directly on top of them, keeping my cheeks clean. Or, you can use them as stencils for winged eyeliner if you're still honing your skills.
Tame the Junk in Your Trunk
via AmazonI finally broke down and got a storage unit here at my complex, which means I got all the beach gear that was normally in my trunk out and, can I just tell you, there's so much room for activities! The first thing I invested in after I got the junk out of my trunk was a cargo organizer like this one. Now I have plenty of space and the stuff I do need is sorted and organized.
Electric Foot Scrubber Your Feet to Baby Soft
via AmazonSafely remove dead skin from your feet with the push of a button! The perfect home pedicure device that will have you feeling confident about your feet in no time. Features three speeds and multiple functions to detail hard, cracked, and dry skin.
Super-Comfy Bathtub Pillow So Dreamy
via Amazon
I'm always on the lookout for a way to make bath time even more relaxing. A glass of wine. Candles. Some soft tunes. But I've now found the most important element. This bath pillow is made of unique 3D mesh and seamlessly contours to your head and neck while soaking in the tub. Sit back, relax, and rejuvenate your aches and sore muscles with this one-of-a-kind bath pillow that is a steal for the price!
Double-Sided Tape For Keeping the Girls Tamed
via Amazon
This awesome tape will stick to almost anything, while also being easy to remove and leaving no residue behind - which means you can hand up pictures, hooks, shelving, decorations, and way more, with complete ease! Why go through the trouble of a hammer and nails when this double-sided tape is right here?!
Battery-Operated String Lights Are Insta Worthy
via AmazonNo outlet? No problem, with these indoor/outdoor battery-operated string lights. "Worked out better than expected. They have multiple options in the way they can illuminate. You also have the option to dim and brighten which was most helpful. I was very pleased they still worked after multiple rainstorms." - Amazon Customer
Jumbo Jenga Game is Family Fun
via AmazonI am madly in love with bars that have yard games right now. My go-to game is jumbo Jenga, so you can bet I picked it up for the house too. It's such a fun, easy way to entertain guests, and it can be taken on camping trips as well.
They See You Rollin'
via Amazon
I have a load of facial beauty tools including this rose quartz face roller and gua sha set because, well, it's for science, O.K.? How can I tell you that you can't live without something I haven't tried myself? Ahem. It really has done wonders for my face, though, energizing my skin and reducing puffiness so it appears firmer. Pro tip: Put it in a skincare fridge (or your regular fridge) for a cool burst along with its great results.
The Minimalist's Wallet
via Amazon
I gifted a wallet similar to this one a few years ago, but it was the more expensive name-brand version. Now there are carbon fiber wallets out there for a quarter of the cost, like this one. The outer case is scratch-resistant and includes a money clip and, even though they all come in the same black design, you can choose a colored emblem that fits your own personal style.
Refresh On-the-Go
via Amazon
Freshen up after your morning outdoor sesh with these wipes and you'll be ready to tackle the day in no time. Best of all? They smell like lemon and sage so they're perfect for when you need a little refresh on the go. Three words: love, love, love.
A New Kind of Weed Whacker
via AmazonI had to snicker when I saw the name of this nose and ear hair trimmer: It's called the Weed Whacker. Hysterical, right? It's also a painless precision tool that can be used wet or dry and features a rechargeable battery and a hypoallergenic stainless steel replacement blade. And, let's be honest: you are going to enjoy staying clean and trimmed a lot more with a tool called the Weed Whacker.
Cool Your Head With A Cap
via AmazonI get awful headaches in the heat, and it makes working or doing anything enjoyable absolutely miserable. Someone recommended that I try a hat that has cooling tech built into it, and I'm really glad I gave it a shot. This one also has SPF50, which is awesome because we like to keep our skin as cancer-free as possible, wouldn't you say?
Take Charge
via AmazonNeed a charge ... quick? This Nano charger from Anker is designed to give your iPhone a charge three times faster than older charger styles. Not only does it deliver the juice fast, but it's also 50 percent smaller than other chargers like it so it won't take up much space in your bag or when plugged into your wall outlet. The lightning cable here is included.
Cool As Ice Packs
via AmazonThis gadget is a great way to chill cocktails and other drinks because it's quick and easy to use. You simply fill the bag with juice or water and pop it in the freezer. When you want a chilled juice, you simply crack one of the frozen sweet cubes into your cup, and voila.
Cool Coasters Beyond Cute
via AmazonI'm always after the kids to use a napkin or something underneath their drinks so they don't ruin the furniture, but they rarely remember. I'm hoping with these adorable, brightly-colored fruit drink coasters they'll start remembering! You'll get a set of six, so they're great for get-togethers, pool parties, or dinner parties, too.
Tidy Up Your Beast With This Car Vacuum
via AmazonMy backseat's an unholy mess of strewn snacks, pet fur, and trash, but I never seem to remember to drag my entire big vacuum to the garage to clean it out. Now I keep this car vacuum in the trunk so I can clean up anytime! My floors and seats have never been tidier.
Organic Lavender Grow Kit
via AmazonGrab this kit, and you'll be able to grow your own lavender right on your windowsill. It also doubles as decor, as the Mason jar pot looks good no matter where you put it — and each order even comes with fertilizer spikes so that your lavender grows strong, not limp.
Octo Scrubber Will Banish Blackheads
via Amazon
Whatever this cute little scrubber is supposed to look like (an octopus, I think?), there's one thing that's beyond certainty: its ability to exfoliate your skin is on another level!
Freezable Masks Relieve Your Eyes
via AmazonI work in front of the computer daily, and when I'm not typing away at my screen, I'm taking the doggos on walks. All of these activities strain my eyes heavily, so I'm glad I got this freezable eye mask to remedy that. You just pop it into the freezer for 15-20 minutes and then rest it on your eyes while you sink onto the couch after a long day.
Protect Yo' Ride With Pup Protection
via AmazonIf you travel with your dog more than you travel without him, you need to invest in one of these waterproof pet seat covers. This one provides a barrier to mud, dirt, and fur by extending to cover your backseat. The included buckles and anchors prevent the cover from sliding around, and the flaps on each side preventing scratching when your pup jumps into the car. There's also a storage pocket for pet toys.
Sport Socks With Ice Cool Tech
via AmazonSome outfits call for shorter socks, and these ones will keep you cool while you're out and about in the heat. They're made using New Balance's ice cooling technology, which helps wick away moisture as you sweat so that your feet stay dry. And with the stretchy fit, your feet also have room to breathe.
Terracotta Spikes Keep Yo' Plants Alive
via AmazonGoing away on vacation? Don't let your house plants die while you're away — use these spikes to keep them damp and hydrated. Simply insert as large or small as a bottle as you like, and the water will gradually absorb into the soil over time. You can also use them outdoors, and they're so sturdy that they can even support a full-sized wine bottle.
Why Not Get a Greenhouse?
via AmazonI'm not the biggest fan of digging around in dirt, which is why I've got this simple greenhouse set up in my backyard. The shelves give you tons of space to store plants, or you can even use it as a cheap storage shed in a real pinch. And just like real greenhouses, this one lets you grow plants in all seasons.
Hooked On This Car Accessory
via AmazonSure, backseats are useful and trunk space is great, but sometimes you need just a few more (organized) spots in which to stash stuff. These car seat headrest hooks take up very little room but give you added space for your purse, a coat, or additional bags from the store. No tools are required for these hooks, which slide easily on your car's existing headrest rails once the headrest is popped off.
Let's Hear It For Heat Relief
via AmazonI'm just like my grandmother in that I enjoy a good heating pad. There's nothing like a little heat therapy at the end of a long day to just make you feel better. This extra-large heating pad from Mighty Bliss is a fan favorite with reviews raving about how comfortable it is, how thick it is and how machine washable it is. Sounds like three-for-three to me.
Fidget Toy For Wasting Hours of Your Life
via AmazonWhen you've been working for, like, 30 minutes straight and need a break — it's one of those days, ok — start fiddling around with this fidget cube. You can twist and shift it into more than 70 different shapes, keeping you entertained for at least the next 10 minutes, or until your boss hits you up on Slack to ask "What exactly are you doing right now?" Plus, it even comes in more than 10 fun colors.
Angry Orange Bathroom Spray Gets the Stink Out
via AmazonI love the tagline for this Angry Orange Bathroom Air Freshener - "give your crap a dirt nap"! It's apt, too, since this long-lasting essential oil spray keeps your bathroom smelling like citrus and cinnamon. We have the Angry Orange cleaner for our puppy's messes, and I'm so excited they make this product for home use, too!
Meal Prep to the Max
via AmazonIf you're on the meal prep train, you're going to want to bring all your stuff at once so you don't have to remember to pack a lunch every day. This jumbo-sized lunch bag lets you tote three food containers plus a bunch of snacks or drinks! It's great for those working shifts or who just like to keep their meals in order while on the go.
Whip Your Utensils Into Shape
via AmazonKitchen utensils are like bunnies. First, you have one. Then, you have a second. Then, you have a million and don't know where they all came from. This utensil holder won't solve that problem (might I suggest a quick run to Goodwill?), but it will at least get the ones you do have under control. It's a good size, and comes in both white and gray.
Swing Away in this Hammock Chair
via AmazonI've always wanted one of these extra-large hammock chairs but thought they were well outside of my price range. Not true! This soft-spun cotton rope chair is less than $40 and comes in natural, gray, green, and blue colors. This is the perfect addition to a small balcony or a child's room to become a cozy reading nook or your new favorite hangout spot.
