We like buying useful products (who doesn’t!?). So we’ve decided to find some of the most useful products you can buy online right now that can help you make your life just a bit easier.
Clean/Dirty Dishwasher Magnet
It may sound silly, but this is one of the most useful things we have in my house. With 5 people under one roof, the question of whether the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty was a constant annoyance to everyone. We got a Clean/Dirty dishwasher magnet like this and it’s helped us so much! This one allows you to simply swipe to show if the dishwasher is clean or dirty.
Fruit Hammock
Does your fruit take up more space on your countertop than you’d like? This fruit hammock is a great solution for you. Attach it to the bottom of your cabinets and free up the space on your countertop.
Dryer Vent Vacuum Attachment
The lint trap in the dryer can be very dangerous if you don’t keep it clean. That’s why this vacuum attachment is one of the most useful products you can buy online. It allows you to get into your lint trap in your dryer and suck out all the built–up lint.
Amazon Smart Plug
This is seriously one of the best things in our house. The Amazon Smart Plug connects with Amazon’s Alexa and allows you to turn on and off appliances without having to unplug the device or use the switch. It also allows you to set timers so appliances can be turned off from anywhere as long as you have your Alexa app.
Butter & Cheese Huggers
Okay, yes it sounds weird, but they’re very convenient for cooking! They’re great for holding your butter while you grease a pan or holding cheese while you grate it. Plus it helps when you store your butter and cheese later in the fridge without the other parts getting dried out.
Car Seat Gap Filler
That’s right, no need to lose anything between your seats anymore. This car seat gap filler fills that traitorous space between car seat and the console to help you easily grab items that fall between.
Anti-Skid Jar Opener
Whether its pickles, jelly, or some other jar having to twist off a jar that’s been in the fridge sometimes take Herculean strength. This anti-skid jar opener is a great way to help you easily open jars without having to hurt yourself.
Snap-N-Strain Clip-On Strainer
This is super convenient for when you’re cooking pasta! This silicone strainer just snaps on to the rim of your pot and helps you easily drain the water from the pot.
Adjustable Phone Stand
Easily one of the best things on my desk, this phone stand is incredibly convenient and useful. I love listening to podcasts and music while I’m working and the best way to do that is to have my phone right by me so I can change songs quickly or pick a new episode to listen to. This phone stand allows me to have my phone right next to me while I’m working. It has a convenient port space so I can charge my phone while in the stand, and it’s adjustable so if I need to turn the phone on it’s side to watch a video to rise it up I can.
Extendable Car Brush
For those of us who experience lots of snow in the winter, this is one of the most useful things for your car. This car brush extends so you don’t have to reach across the car to brush everything off! Of course, it also comes with an ice scraper.
Broom & Map Wall Holder
Another perfect thing for your home is this broom and map holder. It allows you to keep track of your brooms and mops and also gives them a designated space instead of just shoving them into a corner or a closet.
Toothpaste Dispenser
That’s right we know it’s a little futuristic, but think about the fact that you’re skipping several steps that usually go into your morning routine. Saves you time and is just straight-up cool.
Bag Resealer
Keep your snacks fresh! These portable plastic bag resealers are wonderful for helping you keep your snacks fresh and delicious all time long.
