    31 Things Your Parents Will Think You're So Grown-Up For Owning

    Welp, you're grown now. Time to get grown-up things.

    1. A transparent window document holder to hold all of your important vehicle documents like a copy of your insurance card, registration, car manual, and more. Your parents will be so happy to know that you know exactly where those documents are.

    2. A super cute reusable water bottle with little time markers along the bottle so you'll remember to keep up with your hydration throughout the day.

    3. A set of four grocery cart bags that'll not only organize your groceries while shopping, but as the cashier scans the items, you can pop them right back in and never worry about grocery bags again.

    4. This oven rack slider so you can brave the heat of the oven without worry that you'll burn your hand. When your parents come over for a visit, they'll be thrilled to see that you actually use your oven.

    5. The TubShroom that's super effective at ridding your shower drain of hair and other debris that gets trapped after bathing. Now, you won't continuously clog your pipes and have to text the folks asking for help to unclog them, again.

    6. And a three-pack of plastic plumbing snake drains to clear your drains of the hidden gunk that's been collecting since you've moved in.

    7. A silicone sink strainer ideal for people who don't have garbage disposals. This strainer will stop food from going down your sink. When you're done cooking or washing dishes, just pull it out and dump the food into the trash.

    8. A Furbo camera because you're on your own now so your pet is your responsibility (*said in a stern parental tone*). You can monitor them from your smart device, and toss them a treat to give them a little reminder that they're loved and you'll be home soon.

    9. A easily washable drip catcher to fit around your kitchen sink and catch all the water that splashes up while washing dishes.

    10. A set of cleaning K-Cups because your parents worry that the Keurig that's been sitting on your counter has never been cleaned. These pods make cleaning the inside your machine as easy as brewing a cup of coffee. After a good cleaning, your morning ✨cup of joe✨ will go back to being the best part of waking up.

    11. A carpet stain remover perfect for the clumsy or households with kids. Just apply, agitate, and blot for instant results. Preserving your carpet is so grown up.

    12. A spin mop and bucket reviewers say makes mopping quick and easy and helps the floors dry easier, too. The faster those floors dry, the faster you can move on to the next thing on your to-do list. Don't be surprised if mom or dad asks for one of these for Christmas.

    13. This handy reminder because your parents won't be around to fill in when you forget to feed the beast. 🐾

    14. A deck of 50 exercise cards for visual learners to see exactly how to use your new dumbbells. Ah, so that's the proper way to do a leg curl. 🧐 Your parents will glow knowing that you're staying active while you're working from home. 

    While these exercise cards are specific to dumbbell exercises, there are a variety of exercise cards available including Pilates, yoga, half balance ball, kettlebell, resistance bands, and more.

    Promising review: "I love these cards! I'm a visual learner so these are perfect for me. I used a hole punch and put the cards on a metal ring for easier flip through. I take them to the gym with me and others have asked to use them, too!" —Billie Carvin

    15. Stasher bags because they're a reusable solution that will replace traditional plastic sandwich bags. They cut down on waste as well as cost since you can use them over and over. They come in a variety of colors and sizes, which also make for a visually appealing storage solution, too.

    16. Wine aerators that'll open up your wine to express its full character, which will make for a more delightful sip and chill experience. Now you can join in on all those sophisticated wine convos your parents have with their friends during gatherings.

    17. A memory foam foot rest to keep from feeling numb after sitting at your desk for long periods of time. It's made to contour to your foot's natural arch, promote circulation, and help with your posture.

    18. A car console side pocket ingeniously designed as a catchall. You can remove the compartment when the change pouch gets full. The next time you give mom or dad a ride, they'll be glad to see that there aren't a handful of coins stuck to the insides of your cupholder.

    19. An all-natural oven scrub with an eco-friendly formula to gently and quickly scrub away all of that built-up crud in your oven. Who is this grown-up using environmentally friendly products and actually cleaning their oven? You are!

    20. A multipurpose drying rack perfect for homes with little to no counter space. This drying rack can also be used for additional counter space when it's not drying dishes or as a trivet mat. It rolls up small enough to store in a drawer, too.

    21. A bag of Bottle Bright tablets made from biodegradable, chlorine-free, and environmentally safe ingredients to finally rid your fave bottle of that mysterious stain on the bottom. The best thing about it is there's no work for you to do, so the tablets can clean your favorite tumblers while you complete other tasks, or kick back and relax.

    22. A dryer vent coil brush reviewers say is ~quick and easy~ and will clean out the buildup of lint in your lint trap, and improve the drying power of your dryer. Plus a build up of dryer lint could be a fire hazard, and your parents will be happy to know you've avoided that risk.

    23. A handy brush because sometimes dishes need to sit in the sink overnight. In the morning, you'll be happy you have this little brush to quickly lift that crusty food without you having to scrape one utensil with another.

    24. A microwave steam cleaner for when the "soften butter" instruction goes horribly wrong. Just fill this mama with water and vinegar and pop her in the microwave. She'll get mad, blow her top, and leave your microwave looking brand new. Now when your parental guardian swings by for an impromptu visit, looking around at the place, they won't see what looks like the aftermath of a battle scene in your microwave.

    25. A reusable and machine-washable duster that fits onto the Swiffer duster handle and will knock that dust right off the shelves with one ~swift~ swipe.

    28. Some silicone stretch lid covers for a reusable solution for your leftovers because you haven't mastered the art of cooking for one.

    31. A wall-mounted broom holder if you're tired of knocking over all the cleaning supplies in the corner of the closet every time you reach for a broom. It's also great for people who live in studio apartments who need to maximize every ounce of space they can.
