1. A deliciously designed dishwasher magnet ensures you're never caught off guard again. Living in a house bursting with family (my spouse, toddler, and both sets of helpful parents), we cook like crazy, keeping the dishwasher constantly humming – I'm talking two to three runs per day!
Before we had this, well, let's just say that there were some 'interesting' mornings when someone would dump dirty dishes into the cabinets before realizing they hadn't been cleaned yet. But since its arrival, we've been free from that chaos! It's a lifesaver for our busy household! 😀
Praiseworthy review: "I didn't think I'd need one of these magnets, but alas, here we are. I'm that person who meticulously rinses everything before loading it into the dishwasher, and that led to some confusion in my household. After my son was born and I returned to work, we had both sets of grandparents helping out every week. Not only did it prevent my MIL from using dirty dishes she was taking from the dishwasher instead of the cabinet, it helped my husband and I stay on top of loading and unloading it as needed. It adheres nicely to my stainless Steel KitchenAid dishwasher, and as soon as I'm done unloading it, I switch it over to the red "dirty" side so everyone knows not to grab glasses from there. Once it's filled up and I start a new cycle, I flip it back over to the green "clean" side, signaling when dishes are safe to use." -Amazon Customer
Grab it on Amazon for $7.99 (available in three styles).
2. A pack of motion-activated, rechargeable, wireless LED lights to illuminate your bathroom like a pro. My bathroom has a light switch that turns on the noisy ceiling fan too, which has a tendency to wake up the whole house at night. But now, whenever I need to use the restroom in the dead of night (because pregnancy, ya feel?), these lights turn on automatically as soon as I open the door to save the day (and night!).
3. An insulated tumbler cup equipped with a straw lid to keep your drinks frosty all day long. I'm the type who hydrates non-stop, and I prefer my drinks extra cold. I've tried my fair share of insulated bottles, but nothing keeps drinks as icy cold as this one does. I've left ice in this bad boy overnight, and in the morning, my drink was still ice-cold and the ice had barely melted!
I've been using this tumbler every day, saving money by avoiding plastic bottles and keeping the environment a little cleaner. It's dishwasher-safe and easy as pie to use. I take it wherever I go! The raving reviews on Amazon are spot-on. 🌟

Praising review: "I'll probably end up getting another, I love it! Filled it with iced coffee and half with ice before going to bed, then when I got up to take it to work, ice hadn't watered down one bit. Despite the cup being a little chilly, it warmed up to room temperature fairly quickly (without melting the ice), making it comfy to hold. It's been about 20 hours since I made my iced coffee and it's barely melted, still an ice block. And!! When I made my coffee, the ice was kinda clumped so I shook it with the straw lid on and no liquid spilled. Maybe I'm easily impressed, but I'm truly smitten with this cup." -Kaity Turner
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four sizes and 24 colors and patterns).
4. A trusty food scooper that scoops all the goodness from any smooth surface, like your countertops and cutting boards. This marvelous kitchen gadget is the most used tool in my kitchen – from the morning eggshells and chopped fruits to diced and minced veggies throughout the day, and even food scraps while I'm cleaning up during meal prep.
5. Lastly, a toothpaste squeezer that also functions as a stand, ensuring you never waste toothpaste or countertop space again. I prefer a tidy bathroom countertop, and having this stand keeps my toothpaste upright taking up minimal space and keeping things looking neat and clean. It also guarantees that no toothpaste goes to waste; I've noticed that I go much longer between replacing tubes after using it.
Me, whenever I get to use these fantastic finds:
