Real Simple's Editorial Guidelines Published on January 4, 2024 08:00AM EST Photo: Igloo It's post-holidays, and you know what that means: Time to get those resolutions in order—or at least start thinking about what you want to do in the coming year. To help jump-start your 2024, may we humbly suggest these six genius, clever items? There's an air mattress with a built-in frame, a chic and subtle car air freshener (really!), black pants that look and feel like your favorite sweater (and don't attract pet hair), and more handy finds to simplify the rest of your year. 01 of 06 Cozy and Convenient Bed grandinroad.com View on Grandinroad.com Air mattresses aren't really known for their top-notch comfort, but this one is a true exception. I recently tested it personally, and not only did it not deflate while I slept, but it felt like a regular bed. It also conveniently comes with a built-in frame so it's elevated and actually feels like the real thing. I also love the different firmness levels of plush, medium, and firm, so you can tailor it to your individual needs.

It's also a great practical gift for the person who's hard to shop for, because who doesn't need an easier way to clean their bottles? Plus, it has a hole for hanging if you don't want to throw it in a drawer. 05 of 06 Unbelievably Comfortable Knit Pants splendid.com View on Splendid.com When I tell you these have become my favorite pants—I am being so serious. Not only are they supremely cozy—like your favorite sweater in pant form—they somehow miraculously don't attract pet hair. I traveled for several hours in a car with my sheds-everywhere pup and came away without a speck of hair on me. Not only that, they're the perfect travel pants and work-from-home pants, as they look polished, but will keep you warm on planes and comfy if you're sitting in a car for hours.
