I’m not embarrassed to admit that I love to sing in the shower—and I’m talking full-blown concerts. Thanks to this waterproof speaker from iFox, I now have backing tracks for my lovely vocals. It’s compact, equipped with surround sound and connects easily to phones, computers and tablets via bluetooth!

Never Lose Your Keys Again With These Ingenious Item Locators

I used to be someone who lost my phone, wallet or keys on an almost weekly basis. That changed for good when I bought a pack of Tile Mate bluetooth trackers.

Best of all, they’re easy to use—simply download the free app for iOS or Android to see the exact location of the item you’ve misplaced.

This Is The Last Lip Balm You’ll Ever Need

The cold weather will be here before you know it, and for me, that means chapped lips. This “intense therapy” lip balm was one of my best purchases ever and quickly became the only lip balm I use. It’s full of skin conditioners and antioxidants that protect and moisturize your lips, and it even doubles as SPF 25 sunscreen!

A Silent, Elegant Mouse For Everyone

Few sounds are more annoying than the incessant clicking of a computer mouse. As someone who lives with roommates, I used to receive almost weekly complaints thanks to my habit of working (or shopping) late into the night. I bought this mouse from Logitech because of its silent clicking and scrolling, but it became my go-to mouse thanks to its sleek, aesthetically pleasing design and comfortable shape. Best of all, it lasts up to 18 months on the charge of a single AA battery!

This Mini Fridge Is Perfect For More Than Just Food

I file this all-purpose mini fridge under “best purchases I’ve ever made”. Lightweight, energy efficient and nearly silent when running, it’s perfect for storing not only food, but also temperature-sensitive skincare products and medications. It doesn’t only keep things cool, either—it doubles as a warmer for hot snacks and drinks!

A Screen Protector That Does It All

These anti-fingerprint, anti-glare screen protectors from Supershieldz are by far the best all-purpose screen protectors I’ve ever purchased. As someone who suffers from eyestrain after long periods using my devices, the anti-glare feature has been a game-changer, especially for late nights. The film they’re made from is also extremely durable and fingerprint resistant, and a pack of three will only run you $7.99. This is the size I use for my iPad, but there are also smaller sizes available for a variety of smartphones.

Gentle, All-Natural Wipes That Don’t Sacrifice Cleaning Strength

I’ve never liked using cleaning wipes with alcohol, chlorine or other harsh chemicals, especially since I have 2 cats to think about. I went through many different brands before finding The Honest Company, which makes hypoallergenic, plant-based wipes that contain no alcohol, chlorine, parabens or phenoxyethanol. They are strong enough to use for grease, grime and sticky messes, yet gentle enough for pets and young children.

The Quietest Paper Shredder I’ve Ever Used

As I mentioned earlier, I live with roommates who don’t appreciate loud noises. I used to have to be careful about when I shredded old documents and credit cards, but this office-grade paper shredder is shockingly quiet and can run continuously for up to half an hour. I’m also a big fan of its jam-proof system; to date, I have never had to clear a jam from the machine. Just in case, it also comes with a one-year warranty.

Delicious Water Enhancers To Keep You Hydrated Forever

When I’m busy, I have a tendency to forget to drink enough water. Part of the problem is that, unlike coffee, tea or sodas, water doesn’t have a taste that I crave. This is where True Lime water flavor enhancers come in. Also available in delicious lemon and grapefruit flavors, the packets dissolve quickly in water and contain 0 calorie, 0 grams of sugar and all-natural ingredients. Since buying them, I’m up to drinking more than a gallon of water a day, and my energy levels have never been better.

Mosquito-Repelling Incense, Without The Nasty Chemicals

Mosquitoes like me a lot—too much for my liking. Many a party or barbeque has been ruined for me by dozens of bites, but I’ve never liked spraying harsh chemicals on my skin. These mosquito-repelling incense sticks, however, use only natural essential oils to keep mosquitoes and other biting insects away for hours. Simply burn a few around the perimeter of your porch, patio or balcony and enjoy the outdoors without becoming a feast for bugs.

Serve Elegant Cocktails With This Easy Ice Ball Mold

If you like entertaining friends as much as I do, the Chillz ice ball mold is a great low-cost purchase.

One of the best-reviewed molds of its kind on Amazon, it’s flexible, durable and dishwasher-safe, and it makes four ice balls at a time.

This Grease Splatter Screen Keeps Your Hands Safe and Your Kitchen Clean

This is one of those products that I never knew I needed until I bought it. Fitting easily over most pots, pans and skillets, the extra fine mesh protects my hands from hot oil splashes and helps keep my stovetop range clean. My favorite part about this dishwasher-safe tool is its versatility: in addition to excelling as a grease splatter screen, it also works as a strainer, steamer or cooling rack.

A Dual Meat Chopper and Potato Masher That Does Both Jobs and More

A meat chopper in name, this versatile cooking utensil truly does it all. In addition to easily chopping up ground beef, turkey, chicken and sausages, it is also an excellent potato masher, and I have found that it even works as an alternative spatula. Its multiple functions mean less utensils to clean after cooking—and speaking of cleaning, food residue practically glides off the chopper’s smooth, high-quality material.

A Mineral Oil For Everything In Your Kitchen

This food-grade mineral oil is one of the single most useful cleaning supplies that I’ve ever purchased. Designed as a conditioner for cutting boards, butcher blocks and wooden furniture, the oil can also be used as a lubricant for kitchen knives and meat grinders. Best of all, the formula is colorless, odorless, tasteless and safe for human consumption, which means no worries when it accidentally ends up touching my food!

The Perfect All-Purpose Facial Serum

This all-natural, cruelty-free facial serum was an impulse buy that I never regretted. Made with Vitamin C, Vitamin E, witch hazel and botanical hyaluronic acid, this is a powerful anti-aging serum that smooths wrinkles and leaves my face looking noticeably brighter. It’s also cheaper than many comparable products, and on the off-chance it doesn’t end up suiting your skin, the manufacturer offers a 90-day “love it or your money back” guarantee.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses To End Eye Strain Once And For All

I mentioned earlier that I suffer from eye strain when I spend a lot of time on my devices.

In addition to being effective, comfortable and affordable, I also find the cool retro design quite stylish.

A Scalp Massager That Amazon Customers Love

I frequently have a dry scalp, especially during the winter, and thousands of customers left five-star reviews for this scalp massager, claiming it ended their dry scalp issues almost single-handedly. After using it for many months, I must say that I’m a believer. The massager is comfortable, easy to grip and distributes shampoo evenly, and the feeling as it scrubs against your scalp is practically therapeautic. For just $7, it’s easily some of the best value I’ve ever gotten for my money.

The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Truly Cleans It All

This Magic Eraser is, for lack of a better word, magical. Powered by Dawn, this dual-sided scrubber is a mainstay in my kitchen. It’s easy to use and perfect for all kinds of messes, from dirt to grease and grime to food that’s been burnt onto pans. Each scrubber lasts for weeks or even months, and a pack of four sells for just $8.95.

The Perfect Storage Cube For Any Home Office

Because I work from home, I prefer to keep my home office space as tidy as possible, which can be difficult when you own as many pens, pencils and markers as I do. This 96-slot storage cube, which is perfect for holding not only writing implements but also makeup brushes and X-ACTO knives, has been a godsend. Instead of cramming my things into a series of small jars or cluttered drawers, everything fits neatly into the lightweight plastic cube.

The Best Desk Organizer You’ll Ever Find

There’s a reason this 9-compartment desk organizer averages five-star reviews on Amazon. Featuring an additional drawer and storage rack, the organizer can hold a bit of everything, from pens and pencils to staplers, notepads, rulers and paper clips. The sturdy mesh is both eye-pleasing and extremely durable, and I love that it comes fully assembled. I currently have two of them: one on my desk and one on my bedside table.

This Hair-Catching Drain Cover Means No More Clogged Shower Drains

Anyone who has shared a bathroom with roomates or family members will tell you that few things are grosser, or more inconvenient, than wads of hair clogging the shower drain. I used to have this problem, especially when letting my hair grow out, but these suction cup-equipped drain covers don’t let even the smallest strands of hair through. A two-pack is available for only $9.99, and after over a year of use, I haven’t once needed replacements.

A Sweatproof Ankle Strap For Fitbits

As someone who goes for long runs several times a week, this comfortable, completely sweatproof ankle strap has been a game-changer. The secret pocket inside the strap holds Fitbits and competing devices securely, with no threat of falling out, and the strap is adjustable to fit just about any ankle size. Unlike some other ankle straps I’ve tried, this one is also made of a breathable material that keeps my ankle from getting too hot.

More Than Just A Hand Blender

Another product that caught my eye because of its excellent customer reviews, this 9-speed hand blender has a comfortable, ergonomic shape and a long-lasting motor. It’s not only a hand blender, either—it comes with whisk and milk frother attachments for no extra charge. In my experience, these bonus attachments do their job just as well as the main blender attachment.

Join the Juice Craze With This Easy-to-Clean Juicer

An Adorable Mini Keurig

I’ve always found the larger Keurig machines a bit too expensive, and frankly, most of them are more than I really need.

The Perfect Caddy For Showers Of All Sizes

I’m a bit of a fanatic when it comes to organization, and the simple, elegant design of this shower caddy caught my eye right away. Rustproof and easy to assemble, each of the caddy’s three tiers are wide and deep enough to hold a variety of soaps, shampoos, conditioners and bath accessories.

A Vaccine Card Holder That Doesn’t Skimp On Style

With many airlines, concert venues and other business currently requiring proof of vaccination, vaccine card holders have become quite popular. Most of the ones I’ve seen are perfectly functional but lack style, but this leather vaccine card holder is sleek and comes in a wide variety of colors. Compact enough to fit in a small purse or even your pants, it has multiple pockets that can also be used to store business cards or credit cards.

Anyone who flies as frequently as I do is all too familiar with the struggle of keeping all your toiletries in tiny bottles.

Definitely the best notebook I’ve ever purchased.

An Aquarium That Doubles As A Planter

This is one of my favorite “who thought of this?” products I’ve ever found on Amazon. The top half of this aquarium is a planter, and when the plants inside are watered, excess water will filter through the dirt and arrive in the aquarium below perfectly clean. The aquarium is also self-cleaning—the plants and soil absorb fish waste and use it as fertilizer!

Unique Octopus Cocktail Glasses To Wow Guests
