Earphone splitters
One of the most annoying things is showing your friend a song and then having your earbud ripped out of your ear because he or she moved. Luckily, there are earphone splitters that allow you to plug in multiple pairs of earphones. They are a variety of prices around $5.00-$15.00

Shower speaker
Honestly showers are the best part of the day. It is reserved time to not only feel clean, but reflect on your day. What makes this sacred time even better? Music. It is one of the biggest struggles to have the running water and be able to hear your music. Luckily, some genius created a speaker that can stick to the wall of your shower, allowing you to skip and adjust the volume. The price depends on the quality of the speaker.

HP Sprocket Photo Printer
Polaroids. Yeah, they’re cool, but let’s be real, they should have been left in last summer. The new HP printer, on the other hand, is considered by some sources “the gift of 2017.” The Sprocket is portable, connects to your phone through bluetooth and is able to print any photo that is within your camera roll. One of my favorite things about this device is the fact that sticker paper can be placed in the device therefore making any picture a sticker. On Amazon, this device sells for $129.95

Fortunately there are subscriptions, such as Hello Fresh or Blue Apron. This subscription brings three different plans that are suited for different families. Every week you will receive new recipes with the ingredients and instructions for each meal.

Portable Charger
You can ask my family, friends and even myself. My phone is always dead. I will admit, it’s probably one of the most annoying things. Something I unfortunately do not own, but want and need so bad, is a portable charger. The amount of arguments with my parents over not being able to do something because my phone isn’t charged, which a portable charger could get me out of, is infinite. The pricing ranges depend on the style, size and brand, but it is normally between $15.00-$50.00
