Looking at my own purchases from the last year:

spice rack
flexible outlet extender with USB charging ports and surge protector
mandolin slicer
bathtub phone holder (for playing music in the shower)
2.4 gallon compost bin that hang off a cabinet door
a sht load of microfiber clothes (great for cleaning all sorts of things, glasses, tables, walls, etc)
magnetic dry erase board complete with dry erase markers (great for to do lists or writing down plans)

bathtub phone holder (for playing music in the shower)

If anyone wants this on the cheap, you can just put your phone in a zioloc bag. Airtight and doesn't block touchscreen (or sound)

This is what I've been doing, but the problem is that phone speakers are only so loud against the deafening roar of the water from the showerhead hitting the tub lol. Been thinking of picking up a waterproof Bluetooth speaker for some time now but I still have yet to pull the trigger.

I have a walk in shower and there is nowhere to put my phone. If I put it on the ground it's going to get pounded by water which is probably not good

For sure - not knocking your holder, just throwing out another suggestion!
