1.A glow-in-the-dark, soft-closing toilet seat that'll make going to the bathroom in the middle of the night way less stressful. No need to turn on the harsh overhead light to find your way — or worry about giving yourself a mini heart attack by accidentally slamming the lid.

2.Water-soluble plant food in pre-measured packets so there's absolutely no confusion about how much to use. Each packet can be added directly to your watering can— no measuring, no mixing, no mess.

9.A multipurpose silicone mat that'll solve more problems than one — it's a microwave mat/splatter guard, trivet, and drying mat. The material is malleable enough to double as a jar opener and pot holder as well. Honestly, a kitchen MVP.

10.Generously sized furniture sliders so you can move large, cumbersome items effortlessly across carpeting (the worst kind of flooring for moving furniture, let's be honest) — with no pulls or snags.
