I love that we live in the modern age. We can solve any problem with a click of a mouse. How cool is that?
These clever products may be exactly what you’re looking for — and they may also be what you didn’t know you were looking for. Who’s to say?

This knife is also a cutting board.
Hi, genius idea. The Clever Cutter is a two-in-one tool, which we all know are the best tools. Instead of chopping up veggies onto a cutting board, cut them right over your food instantly.
This mop and broom organizer will change your cleaning closet forever.
No matter where you keep your brooms and mops, they’re probably still in the way. This mounted organizer gets them up off of the floor and in easy reach when you need them most.
(For me, it’s when my cat eats his food outside his bowl.)
A phone sanitizer.
Boy, a UV phone sanitizer probably seemed like something we wouldn’t need back in 2019. These days (it’s 2020, for any future readers), it makes a whole lot of sense, doesn’t it?
Dishcloths that are actually odor free.
These things are revolutionary. Help save the environment by skipping the paper towel, and help save your nose by skipping odor-absorbing cloths. Instead, opt for Lunatec Odor-Free Dishcloths , which reviewers frickin’ love.
A hands-free baggy rack.
Need to keep a baggy up while pouring something in it? Then the baggy rack is definitely for you. It allows you to put anything in a bag with ease — and reviewers agree that it works.
An aluminum defrosting tray.
Need something defrosted fast (well, faster than normal, anyway)? A defrosting tray is your best bet. The aluminum construction aids in faster defrosting than your standard methods. Neat!
A portable luggage system will fix your travel woes.
Nowhere to store your clothes while traveling? Not a fan of keeping them in your suitcase? No worries. The Stow-N-Go portable luggage suitcase folds up small in your bag but packs a big punch for storage when hung in your hotel closet.
Vacuum storage bags.
These things are my holy grail. You can use your own vacuum to suck the air out, shrinking the size of your clothes or comforters down to something way more manageable for your storage needs.
A collapsible colander.
I have this, and it’s so handy. You can hook the expandable sides to your sink, rinse your veggies or drain your food, then fold it all back up and store it away again. Even the bottom collapses to make the whole thing flat!
This cool af zester.
You know you’re old when you think a zester is cool. But this one truly is! It’s a four-in-one zester that also scores, has a knife, and has two different heads for zesting.
An armchair table.
Look how cozy the model who looks like a square-jawed Dan Levy looks with his arm chair table . This one not only sits on the arm of your couch, but folds out to become a little table!
A hanging shoe organizer.
Hanging shoe organizers are the ultimate space-savers. They free up your closet storage for more important things, like more clothes! Or handbags. Anyway, putting one on the back of your door is just a good idea.
A cupboard organizer.
This is just so handy. If you have the space when your cupboard is closed, consider an organizer that can store away things that take up space on the shelves!
This utensil drawer organizer.
I can’t believe I’ve never seen a tiered utensil organizer before! I’ve seen ones for knives, but this utensil one is my next must-buy. Look how much room it saves in that drawer!
The handiest glue ever.
This is moldable glue , and it’s a true life saver. It looks and feels like putty, but it will hold whatever you put it on like glue! Goodbye, frayed cables.
A shower hook that solves a problem we all know we have.
Putting shower hooks on can be a humbling experience. So, let’s remove all of that nonsense and use these shower hooks, which have dedicated hooks for the shower curtain loop. It also has a dedicated hook for the liner!
A PopSocket will change your phone’s life.
I truly don’t know how I used my phone before I had a PopSocket . It’s a stand that attaches to the back of your phone. It makes it more comfortable to hold, and also props your phone up to watch things. It even has a car mount, which I use every single day.
A draft stopper.
Some houses are just built weird. If yours has doors that are particularly high and love to let drafts in, this draft stopper from 3M might come in handy!
A magnetic screen door.
This thing is a serious life-saver for renters. If you want to have a screen to keep bugs out (and certain pets in), a magnetic screen door is the way to go. Trust me.
A velcro wrap.
Zip ties? Those are so out. That’s some single-use plastic energy that we don’t need in this world. Enter velcro wraps , which do the same job — and are reusable!
A drain snake.
For that super gross stuff you have no choice but to clean out of the drain. Simply stick the Green Gobbler down the drain, pull it out, and watch it do its thing.
