50 Gift Ideas They Haven't Seen Before

Extension cords are, by default, generally pretty terrible. Either they're out in the open and a total eyesore, or they're hidden behind your couch, keeping it annoyingly non-flush from the wall. That's what makes the Sleeksocket so great. Its low profile design is barely noticeable, allowing you to extend power where you please without sacrificing aesthetics, or comfort. It even acts as an outlet protector to keep little fingers safe!

I'm pretty much an athleisure connoisseur at this point since it's all I wear, and I'd rate these best-selling leggings a perfect 10.

With over 70,000 glowing reviews and 25 colors to choose from, you know these are going to quickly become your fave leggings.

Think of these heavy duty storage straps as a cord keeper for your big, unwieldy items like hoses, jumper cables, and extension cords.

Picture it: you roll out of bed to get ready for that big morning meeting or a brunch date out, and you look in the mirror. Oh, no... puffy eyes. Whether it was too little sleep or a few too many drinks the night before (or both, no judgement), these under eye masks will slide right on and take care of that face fatigue in no time.

Made famous by TikTok, this best kept secret Pink Stuff cleaner works on virtually every surface.

I use it on my pots and pans and have never seen them sparkle like this before.

Sure, you clean your dishes, but when was the last time you cleaned your dishwasher? (I know I haven't in... well, we won't talk about that.) Pop this little tablet in the same place you'd put your usual detergent, run a normal wash cycle, and let Affresh work its magic. By removing both ancient soap scum stains and hard water buildup, it'll not only make your dishwasher look new again, but also help it drain more efficiently and cut down on any potential for mold or mildew.

I originally got these highlighters for my daughter to help her study, but I've been stealing them for noting important passages in books or in my work notes! The bright colors won't bleed through, making them excellent for thin pages. I also love that they don't dry out when left uncapped, as my daughter is wont to do!

As a voracious reader in a family of voracious readers, I am fully conscious of the need for good lighting when catching up on those late night chapters. I've tried out my share of reading lights before, and I cannot tell you how annoying it is to have to adjust or re-clip mid-page.

They're even built to be clipped into the car via seatbelt, so they'll stay put no matter what.

Trying to store cutlery in a small space is tough, but Joseph Joseph's genius DrawerStore makes it a breeze. It fits nicely into even small drawers and holds up to 48 pieces of silverware. The stacked design creates more room in your drawer to fit even more stuff, and it's incredibly easy to wash. Joseph Joseph makes some of my favorite kitchen gadgets, including knife blocks that fit in your drawer.

If you haven't snaked your sinks recently (or ever), you're in for a particularly gross treat. These plastic gizmosgrab all the built up hair, soap scum, and who-knows-what-else from your pipes, which may often look like something out of The Ring, You even get a five pack of these top-rated snakes so you can toss them every time you use them, if you're squeamish.

Flying insects in my house are a nightmare - flies freak out the kids, mosquitos buzzing in your ear while you're trying to fall asleep are the absolute worst, and anything in the stinging family causes untold chaos. Thankfully, I don't have to possess cat-like reflexes or superhuman speed to get rid of winged pests - this Zap-It bug zapping racket lets me relive tennis playing days of yore while taking care of an annoying problem!

I never fully trust a food storage container without a REALLY secure lid, which is why I love these ones with locking lids. The seven piece set is safe in the dishwasher, microwave, and freezer and is the perfect size for meal planning or storing leftovers. They're a great value compared to other brands and perform just as well, according to the 2,000+ stellar reviews!

I dislike many things about our traditional garden hose - it's heavy, hard to manuever, leak-prone, and generally annoying. This Flexi-Hose solves all those problems with its lightweight construction that resists leaks and kinks and compact design that expands to 50 feet. Chances are much higher the garden's actually going to get watered this year!

Finally, a place to put every last scrap of garbage in your car (that's not those hidden pockets in the door - you know what I'm talking about). Lusso's car-bage cans hold up to 2.5 gallons of trash (dry, wet, or otherwise), and strap anywhere you need them in the car, so you'll never be at a loss for where to stuff that empty Starbucks cup as you make room for a new one.

I'm on Zoom meetings all day for work, and you'd be surprised how much detail an HD web cam will show.

Ok, maybe it's a little dramatic, but I do think these magnetic measuring spoons are pretty life-changing. Now I don't have to go searching through my messy kitchen drawer to find the one I need, they're all together in an easy-to-find bundle! I love that they come in sizes from 1/8 tsp to 1 tablespoon so I don't have to do as much guessing or math on measuring ingredients.

Bungee cords are undoubtedly the real MVPs, but they're often lumped together in a ridiculous tangle in some corner. Keep your cords organized and easily accessible with this plastic Bungee Buddy! Get one for the car and one for the garage so they're ready when you need them.

Remember those slap bracelets from when we were kids? Now picture it actually being useful! This gigantic magnetic slap bracelet holds all kinds of nuts, bolts, screws, washers, nails, and whatever other tiny piece of metail you need for DIYing. My dad has used his every time he's come over to fix our fixer upper!

If you've recently gotten into bread baking or have been churning out fresh loaves for a while, you've gotta see this Lekue bread maker. The unique design lets you proof in the bowl, then put the whole thing in the oven for tender bread with a crispy crust. The special design lets air circulate so the bread stays moist and won't dry out.

When I came across this fuzzy ball hand towel I knew I had to share it with you guys! It's such a unique take on the bathroom hand towel, and dries so much faster, too, since it's made from microfiber! It's a towel that doubles as decor, and you'll get a set of two to use together or in separate bathrooms.

Warning - do not attempt to travel with young children without this kids' seat activity center. Speaking as a seasoned mom of two for nearly a decade, this seat has kept the peace on many a roadtrip and plane ride.

Cleaning a traditional metal whisk can be a huge ordeal. How can anyone get a sponge all the way inside?! This versatile plastic alternative not only does an excellent job of beating eggs and whipping cream, it's fantastically easy to clean. Just flatten the whole thing - handy for easy storage, too.

Another favorite of my coworker: "As a perenially itchy person, I've spent years in search of a decent back scratcher, and every one I've tried has paled in comparison to the Cactus Scratcher. It's perfect. A two-sided plastic head features different levels of spikes for different levels of itching, and the telescoping pole is robust enough for some serious scratching sessions. Add to all that the price point, and it's a must-have for anyone who loves being scratched."

As the reigning project manager for my family, I need a single source of truth for managing our busy lives. This dry erase fridge whiteboard is my trusty sidekick for keeping track of all the things - groceries we need to buy, appointments we can't miss, after-school activities for the kids, and any other reminders I need to keep things running smoothly. I love that it comes in a few sizes, I'd say the larger the better!

After I bravely (stupidly?) started CrossFit, my husband gifted me this Vybe massager for my screaming muscles. The uniquely-shaped three metal heads and four plastic ones allow you to target pretty much any muscle group with ease. Thanks to the three hour battery life and nine intensity levels, my constantly-knotted shoulders have finally relaxed.

We live on a main street, but in a small, rural town so no streetlights. I seriously can't see my hand in front of my face when I walk to the mailbox after dark, so using these solar garden lights to illuminate the walkway has been a life-changer. They come in an 8-pack so you can customize placement to fit your outdoor space beautifully.

I often take hours to fall asleep, just lying there with my thoughts, but since I started using these sleep headphones I've been able to drift off so much faster. They're comfortable to use while sleeping since they lie flat against your head, and I just put on soothing music or a boring podcast to relax and distract me. They also act as an eye mask to block light so they're great for travel.

We used to have a drawerful of different brushes to clean water bottles, glasses, vases, etc. I was able to whittle it down to just one convenient silicone brush that cleans all the things! The two inch silicone brush head fits in even narrow containers and bottles, and the over 12 inch long handle works on even my tallest water bottle and vases.

This tiny-but-mighty car escape tool was originally developed for first responders, but should should probably come with every new car purchase. The resqme is small enough to fit on your keychain, with a spring-loaded escape hammer that can easily break through any car window, and an ultra-sharp razor blade that can slice quickly through a jammed seatbelt. Best of all, you can typically nab a 2-pack for under $20.

I'll admit, when I'm shampooing, I'll wipe the loose hairs I pull out on the shower wall and forget, then eventually they end up in the drain. This handy shower hair catcher takes care of the stray strands and keeps them from creating clogs that require professional help. The flexible, durable silicone is great at grabbing hair but releases it easily for fast clean-up.

While the name sounds like Ned Flanders trying to swear, this five pack of silicone food huggers seals out air, keeping your tasties safe from drying out and getting that grody "refrigerator flavor". A much more eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap, and they do a better job, too!

Light up your outdoor space with these solar lanterns that cast pretty shadows. Six hours charging in sunlight gives you six to eight hours of light after dark. Hang the lanterns or display along a walkway or tabletop - you don't even need to remember to bring them inside since they're waterproof and frost and heat resistant.

If you've got kids, you know what an unholy mess they can make with toothpaste. My bathroom counter's never been cleaner since using these self-closing toothpaste caps! No one has to remember to put the cap on, and these dispense the perfect amount of toothpaste so there's less waste and mess!

I call this my emotional support cooling face mask because it really is that important. It immediately de-puffs my morning face, soothes migraine headaches I get from looking at a computer screen all day every day, and helps with sinus pressure from colds and seasonal allergies. It also feels ah-ma-zing when you pop it on right after an intense workout session.

Boiling hot baths are my love language, especially when my hubs keeps the kids from busting in to interrupt! This bamboo bath tray holds all my essentials - a tasty beverage, a book, my phone, and a pretty candle to elevate the experience. It helpfully includes a wine glass holder and adjusts to fit all bath tub widths!

The moment I saw Florino the Friendly Flower Vase, I thought: this is genius. I'm sure many others have a very different opinion. I love how it's at once goofy and useful, with bendable arms and legs that can set it up anywhere, and a waterproof silicone body that'll keep little bouquets alive. It's a wonderfully weird addition to your house for well under $15.

So many things to love about this set of three extra-strong bamboo cutting boards! They're a greener alternative to plastic, easy to clean, and attractive enough to use as an impromptu charcuterie board. My husband is a fanatic about maintaining razor-sharp knives and he hasn't had to sharpen that much since we switched to bamboo.

There are few things more aggravating than having to dig through the cabinet for a lid to match the tub you've just put all the dinner leftovers in. This handy organizer makes it all too easy to finally see all of those pesky lids in one place!

It may look like a niche invention, but the Neckmate took off in popularity during the pandemic as one of the easiest ways to make a home haircut look like it wasn't a home haircut. Just strap this fella on and it provides the perfect template for a clean, consistent, and symmetrical hairline.

My middle schooler has recently become a big animal rights advocate, and reminds me every time I use a straw, I'm hurting marine life. To avoid being a destructive villain, I snagged this pack of 10 silicone straws. The best part is that they're tall enough to use with my 20- and 30-ounce tumblers!

Pickleball is a thing now, not just for the seniors! Bring the fun to your own backyard with this pickleball net the whole family can use. Convenience is its middle name - no stakes needed, lightweight and portable, and works on any surface so you can easily dink all day!

Balance is so important, especially as we get older, but really for any age and stage! This wobble balance disk improves your balance and posture, relieves your lower back pain, and builds core strength. Incorporate it into your squat workouts or yoga practice to up the intensity!

I originally got these low-odor, oil-based paint pens for the kids to paint rocks, but then I discovered you also can write on wood, ceramic, glass, and more! I've been whipping up customized coffee mugs for gifting with the 20 vibrant colors. The medium tips are great for lettering, too.

Sometimes a DIY haircut is glaringly obvious, but not if you use these cordless hair clippers! They come with eight color-coded guide combs for precision cuts every time. The anti-rust stainless steel blades are extremely sharp and work on wet or dry hair and beards.

Charcuterie boards are extremely popular, and with good reason - mainly that cheese is the best food ever invented. This generously-sized bamboo cheese block resists stains, odors, and scratches and has a hideaway storage drawer with four chic stainless steel serving utensils. It's cheaper than a semi-good bottle of wine and makes the perfect holiday or hostess gift.
