7 Life-Hacking Items People Love on Amazon
We’ve scoured the internet’s favorite online store to find the coolest deals on Amazon right now. From ridiculously long cables to items that will instantly make your apartment look like a grown-ass adult lives there, here are the things people can’t live without this week on Amazon.
AUKEY USB Hub 3.0
Computers are getting smaller and faster, and while that’s broadly a good thing, I can’t help but look at all the sleek new laptops coming out and screaming into the thundery sky “WHERE ARE ALL THE USB OUTLETS I HAVE GADGETS TO CONNECT!” This solves that very specific problem for me, and will for you too.
IdeaWorks Wall Outlet Organizer
Not gonna lie, I have two of these; one for my bathroom and one for my bedroom, where I can gently place my phone atop the outlet instead of clunking it unceremoniously on the ground whenever I need to juice up.
OXO Good Grips Convertible Foldaway Dish Rack
The sign of a grown-ass adult is invariably the state of their kitchen. I’m not talking about a pristine sink with no dirty dishes in them, we don’t always have time for that, but a good drying rack for when you feel like doing those dishes is one of the wisest investments you’ll ever make, and this super versatile, folding rack is the best and only one you’ll ever need.
Hanes Men's ComfortSoft T-Shirt (Pack of 4)
Something that absolutely every person should own without exception is some well-fitting and unspectacular t-shirts that can function as pajamas as readily as they can a shirt to throw on before you hit the bars on a Friday night, in a pinch. These are just good forward-thinking insurance.
Bellemain Cast Iron Grill Press
Whispers This is advertised almost exclusively as a bacon press, but it works on just about everything, and will yield you the crispiest, meltiest grilled cheese you’ve ever had in your life. What are you waiting for?
AmazonBasics 14-foot Ethernet Cable (Pack of Two)
You read that right, baby, 14 feet of high-speed internet so even the most out-of-the-way router won’t give you any signal grief in your own home ever again. The AmazonBasics ethernet cables come cheap, but they’re an absolute essential for everyone with even a modest internet connection, and go as high as supporting full 1000mbps connections.
Maxone 2.5" 500GB Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive
Yeah, cloud storage is cool, but have you tried getting a foolproof, absolutely tiny external hard drive that can store literally hundreds of movies, and millions of files at blazing fast speeds? Didn’t think so. This can be used anywhere, any time, and fits in even the smallest pockets.
