You spend a lot of time at home. Between the Netflix binge-watching sessions, dinner parties, and mornings you sleep through your alarm clock, you’re always using products that make life at home even better. Hoping to discover some products that improve my own home life, I came across some pretty strange but smart household items that are so brilliant, you’ll wish you thought of them first.

So, now I have a list of the top 10 strange and useful items that will help you to do better with your house.

An organized cutting board

If you love to cook but hate the prep (because it takes forever to clean up), you should pick up this cutting board. It’s made out of bamboo and features two removable sliding drawers on each side. Use one side to keep your freshly chopped food, and the other to keep the scraps. That way, you can clean up quickly, cook faster, and enjoy your meal sooner. You can even use the drawers to store extra fruits or veggies if you chopped too many.

Butter knife

Slides smoothly through butter

This butter knife is a super useful tool that you must have in your kitchen. We often use butter in so many things and cutting it smoothly is a nightmare. So this butter knife (specially made for cutting butter blocks) makes that job so easier. It uses your body to conduct heat with a copper-heat transfer core (that means no batteries or cords). The serrated edge helps you to effortlessly cut the butter, and you’ll be left with the best piece of toast you’ve ever had.

Cords detangler

Cord detangler

How many power cords do you have? I have quite a few, and they are always falling behind my desk. If you’re like me and you’re constantly having to reach for your cords every time you unplug something, you should find a way to keep them in one place. This desktop grip is a great option for that because it’s weighted and can hold several cords (it has five rubber grips and four slots). You can fit several cables in each slot, but because you stack them, they don’t get tangled.

Multifunctional breakfast maker

I’m all about efficiency. That’s why I’m always looking for multifunctional products. And this 3-in-1 breakfast maker is that. You can make four cups of coffee, toast some bread (four pieces at a time) or muffins, and fry eggs or bacon with one appliance. You can do all of that because the coffee maker is also a toaster oven and griddle. You can make all your breakfast recipes in this easy-to-use machine. It comes in black, red, white, and blue.

Portable projector

This tiny little projector is a great investment. It comes with the proper connector cables to work with your phone, laptop, tablet, and gaming console. It works with HDMI-compatible devices and has 90-minute battery life. You can use it with mobile adapters to watch your favorite shows anytime anywhere. It just makes streaming videos that much better when you can watch it on a display that stretches up to 120 inches.

Fence window for pets

Dogs are really smart animals. They often get super curious, and that can often lead to them running after something or excessive barking. This little fence window is a great way to help your dog get a look at the world around them without them jumping over fences or running away. Just make sure to ask your neighbor if it’s okay to install first.

Eco fishbowl

If you’re interested in ecosystems and want a pet fish, then this is the fishbowl for you. The tank is a closed-loop ecosystem as the plants naturally filter and clean the water, and the betta fish waste fertilizes the plants. The kit comes with everything you need to get started (including a coupon for your betta fish).

Pop-up hot dog toaster

A toaster that cooks two hot dogs and toasts two buns at the same time seems like a dream to me. But, it’s possible. If you love hot dogs, but you aren’t a fan of boiling them, and you don’t like to turn the grill on frequently, then this toaster is for you. It has an adjustable cooking timer and a stop cooking button, and it comes with tiny tongs to remove your hot dogs safely. It’s also super easy to clean, as it comes with a drip tray.

Clean brooms

I never understand when people sweep their floors with a dirty broom. Sure, brooms are great for getting dust and hair off your floors, but so much stuff gets trapped in between the bristles and just stays there. This broom and dustpan set solves that problem because each time you sweep, you can clean out the bristles. The dustpan has teeth connected to it, which helps get rid of the dust and hair that gets trapped on the edges of your broom.

Phone and key holder

If you’re always misplacing important things like your phone or keys, a great solution is a wall hook. This one is great because the bottom is magnetic, so your keys will stay put. It also has a shelf where you can leave your phone, sunglasses, or wallet, so you know where to find them when it’s time to leave the house again. One user said, “I was constantly forgetting my work keys and/or wallet when leaving the house and this tiny shelf was the perfect way to keep track of them.”

So that it is for the top 10 essential household items that you must think of getting yourself.
