13 Products That Are Guaranteed to Make Your Life a Lot Easier and Stress-Free

Gadgets of all sorts have taken the world by storm, and it seems that their popularity won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Maybe it’s because they help us multitask and give a more pleasant note in everyday activities. And while there are conventional solutions for everything, sometimes a new and cool item blow our minds. This is the direction we wanted to take with this article and picked up a few items we think you might like.

1. An ice cream ball maker that will make the whole process feel like a game. You just add your ingredients inside and toss the ball gently for 30 minutes. It can fit up to 16 oz, and it is 100% manual, with no electricity needed.

Its polycarbonate material makes it very durable and it seals safely. It is ideal for kids, since they can make their own ice cream while enjoying the process. Make sure not to toss it on the floor or bounce it, since the lid might open.

Promising review: This was super fun to make! It was pretty hard to get the ice cream out of the ball. Probably should have opened it halfway and scrapped it away from the sides. Oh well, next time! I’m sure it will be well-used. I used half-and-half, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and Nutella. It was delicious! The ball itself was fun to roll and shake for 30 minutes and super easy to clean. @Janet Upton

2. A lightweight collapsible stool that can be carried anywhere. It can hold up to 400 lbs and even has a strap, so you can carry it around easier. It weighs only 2.5 lbs and can be taken along for camping, fishing and hiking.

You need to rotate the stool in a counterclockwise/clockwise course to open and close it in seconds. It can accommodate people of all ages, since it ranges from 2.5 inches to 18 inches in height. The folding seat is very safe and is even made with anti-slip material.

Promising review: This is coming camping with me! I have a carrier on the top of my SUV and it holds my camping equipment. I need a little boost to get up there and this will do it. It’s 18 inches high and closed up 2 1/2 inches. It’ll barely take any room. I’ll probably keep it in my car for a back-up seat.
I’ve found myself in situations where there’s not enough seating for everyone and this will keep my or anyone off the ground. The stool holds up to 400 lbs. It’s so easy to extend. There are holes on the top and bottom. You put your fingers in and twist and open to the length you need and then another twist to lock it into place. @Claudine

3. A portable personal blender you can prepare from smoothies and shakes with. It is wireless and rechargeable through USB. It can fit up to 14 oz. and you can blend the ingredients while on the go. It can even crush ice, not just fruit and protein powder.

You can wash the plastic parts of the blender separately and even place them in the dishwasher. It’s perfectly fine to use the blender while it’s charging. Its strong motor promises to crush every ingredient you add in it and keep working without charging for a long time.

Promising review: I was interested in a portable blender for a while but didn’t know which one to go with. I gave PopBabies a try, and I’m pretty pleased. It’s perfect for me because I work a 9-5, and when I don’t have time to pull out my at-home blender, I use this one, and it’s perfect!
I press the button 2–3 times to make sure the fruit is blended. It’s pretty powerful when fully charged. This is an honest review. I would say give it a try if you’re on the fence! I’m eating a healthy breakfast because of this blender. @Sweetly Dreyah

4. Funky reusable ice packs that are perfect for lunch boxes and keeping food cool. They come is different designs, including unicorns, pineapples, and fish. They come in 4-packs, freeze very quickly, and keep food cool for up to 4 hours.

The ice packs are very small. At just 0.5’’ thickness, they can fit in any lunch bag or box. They are made of food grade plastic that doesn’t contain any BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead, or vinyl. The company supports the cause Feed the Children, so every purchase means that they can keep donating more and more money to hungry families.

Promising review: How amazing are these T-Rex Bentgo Buddies?! Not only are they the perfect thickness for my son’s toddler hands to grab, but they also come in bright vibrant colors that he LOVES. Whenever we have “indoor picnics”, I pack our lunches in our Bentgo lunch boxes, mine in the Bentgo Fresh Lunch box and his in the Bentgo Kids Lunch Box. I’ll pack these Bentgo Buddies in the Lunch bags to keep our food nicely chilled. @Christine L.

5. A stand holder that can be mounted to most surfaces and hold not just your iPad but also your phone and other items. It comes in black and white colors and can be extended to a maximum of 30 inches.

It is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy solid cord, which means that it can hold your device safely. When holding a heavy tablet, you could try to loop the gooseneck into an “S” shape in order to provide more stability. It is advised not to over-tighten the base clamp too much in order to prevent it from breaking.

Promising review: I bought this so that I can mount an iPad to watch movies in my camper when it rains. It arrived quickly, which was good since I ordered it less than a week before a camping trip. It was easily attached to the wooden railing, and I was able to leave the case on the iPad. There is a hole in the side of the bracket, so I was able to plug in the iPad to charge while in use.
It took a bit of adjusting to get it to the angle I wanted, but once I did, it stayed put. I did not leave the mount up while in transit because I was not sure it would hold and did not want to damage anything. I was able to fold it fairly compactly and store it in the overhead cabinet. This mount was priced lower than many other comparable ones, but the quality seems good so far. @Margret Rodas

6. A chubby seal pillow with a resting angry face that will magnetize you with how adorable it is. There are 3 sizes you can choose from, and the filling is made of high-quality PP cotton. It is very soft to touch, and you can even sleep with it.

This makes a perfect gift, and it can be taken in every room of the house and even the car. The pillow arrives flat inside a vacuum-sealed package, so give it about 2 days to reach its fluffy appearance. It can help you relieve stress and tension.

Promising review: I am a grown adult, and yet I wanted this thing. I love the printing as it looks very realistic sitting on my bed. It makes a wonderful pillow as well. I bought a mini version to give to my granddaughter, so we had matching bed seals. I LOVE this and highly recommend you buy the big one. @Amazon Customer

Promising review: I’m not normally an impulsive buyer of tchotchkes, but I had to have this guy. I don’t know why he makes me smile, but he does. Also, he’s really bright! Like way too bright for a nightlight, but he brings a smile to my face every time I see him laying there. @Not the cool mom

Every package comes with a personal adoption note and makes you feel very unique and special.

It was super cute and me and my boyfriend love tea a lot, so I decided to get him his cup and I needed it really fast, and it came in really fast, but the cup is super cute. It is blue. It comes with a little cat coaster, with a little fish teabag, and it came in with a little cat spoon and a cat cover. It is so cute and adorable. I absolutely love it. @MK

Promising review: I bought this for my vacation to California because they’re going through a heat wave, and it works great! I didn’t even know it had a flashlight? That’s so cool! It came a day early which is perfect. I was worried it wouldn’t come in time. I’m hoping it lasts a long time, the manual says to not overcharge it because the battery doesn’t have a charge memory, so it’ll mess up the factory calibration, so I’ll have to make sure I don’t leave it on the charger. @Abby Lynn

Promising review: I knew before I got my first smartphone, I would obsess over fingerprints on the screen, and I was right. I’ve tried the cloths, meh, tried the wipes, less meh, but not great. Then I got the Click Clean and I couldn’t be happier. Works perfectly every time. I just wish I could get the cleaning solution in a refill rather than buy another device. But small issue there. @Brian S Gregory
