The internet is a wonderful invention. Aside from work and socialization, it’s also a great way to learn how to get through life easier. Apparently, everyone on the internet has discovered a better way to de-fur the couch, a brilliant way to dispense honey without getting sticky, and so much more.

In fact, Amazon is full of so many genius products achieve tasks like those, and you might not have ever heard of them. Take for instance, the blanket that’s designed to cool you down — and even the cup holder that’s built for an arm of your couch. And did I mention the alarm clock that projects the time on your wall? Because that’s out there, too. Genius.

So when I tell you that Amazon keeps selling out of these products, I am also telling you that these are those solutions. Hurry while they are still in stock.
