1. A pack of vacuum storage bags to make transporting your entire winter wardrobe an easier affair. These easily compress chunky sweaters and thick duvets to a fraction of their normal size, plus an anti-microbial material keeps funky-smelling mold and mildew away.
2. Or! A pack of hanging vacuum bags that will smush thicker clothes to a fraction of their original size — but in an upright fashion, aka you'll still be able to grab 'em when necessary. Reserve these for bulky items you intend on wearing throughout the season and want within reach.
3. An erase-a-hole putty that fills cracks in drywall, plaster, and wood faster than you can say "HGTV." Just follow the handy dandy guide below for a DIY repair to ensure you get that security deposit back.
4. A bunch of reusable cable ties that will let you put all "this charging cord is tangled beyond help" situations to rest. These simple Velcro hooks are an easy (but genius) solution that keeps everything from chargers to USB cables in check.
5. A 10-pack of pull handles for a quick, easy way to catapult those "new" kitchen cabinets into the 21st century (no disrespect intended to the lovely couple who designed your space in the early '70s).
6. A velour ottoman that screams Pinterest chic thanks to lovely pastel hues and gold hair pin legs. But the best part? Storage. This is perfect for stowing away random chargers, papers, and other tchotchkes you simply don't know what to do with in your new (but tiny) apartment.
7. A storage box to stow away duvets, pillows, puffy winter jackets, your action figure collection, etc. Say "be gone" to the cardboard boxes that burst open once they're even mildly overstuffed.
8. A switch plate cover that transforms living room decor from drab to fab in minutes, plus it's renter-friendly and easy to remove. It's giving "mansion from The Chronicles of Narnia" vibes and I won't be explaining further.
9. A toiletry bag to keep all of your beauty essentials in one place, which means that unpacking = frantically searching every cardboard box until you find your nighttime moisturizer.
10. A duffel bag complete with a bottom compartment to safely store your icky, mud-ridden shoes away from that gorgeous cashmere sweater. Reviewers swear this weekender is shockingly spacious.
11. A shower caddy with an adhesive backing strong enough to withstand all of your conditioners (of which you inexplicably have, like, a million). Just peel, stick on your shower wall, wait twelve hours, and you're good to go.
12. A six-port outlet that swivels because the only outlet in your entire bedroom is covered by a heavy dresser. Say so long, farewell to wiggling furniture out in order to make room for bulky plugs: this lets you charge six devices at the same darn time.
13. Nonslip metal hangers for all the slacks currently cluttering your closet, you fancy slack-wearing young professional! I aspire to be as sophisticated as you are. (Psst, these are equally as great for jeans and leggings.)
14. A set of LED Under-cabinet lights to make any teeny kitchen feel more spacious, more inviting, and less like a dungeon made worse by bad fluorescence. You can even keep these on overnight to reduce the chance of ghost encounters on your way to grab a glass of water.
15. A compact wall mount if 90% of bedroom clutter can be attributed to simply not having a large enough closet (a heartache I truly understand). This collapsible tool turns empty wall space into extra storage, freeing up your floor and "the chair" from being bombarded with clothing.
16. A pumice cleaning stone capable of removing calcium, lime, and hard water stains on everything from your toilet bowl to your outdoor barbecue. The stone itself is also surprisingly gentle and won't scratch the surface of, say, your porcelain throne.
17. Packing cubes capable of helping you fit your entire 👏 friggin' 👏 wardrobe 👏 in condensed packages that won't require rummaging through flimsy cardboard boxes. Plus, this keeps everything lookin' niiiiice and neat.
18. An over-the-drain protector for anyone with a pop-up drain that is a: the bane of their existence and b: constantly getting clogged. Place this on top of your drain to trap gunk *before* it becomes a built-up abyss of gross scum that will take ages of time (and a professional plumber) to clear out.
19. Peel and stick backsplash adhesives for an easy, inexpensive way to make outdated apartments look chic. If your soul screams for subway tile, then consider these mold- and humidity-resistant tiles for your next bathroom remodel.
20. Clear organizers capable of turning the messiest of junk drawers into a place where things can actually be found. Euphoria = being able to easily locate a working pen when you need one most.
21. A grout cleaner that clings to silicone sealants (the thin area around your shower head, in between your tiles, etc.) and effectively banishes mold and mildew to the pits of heck forever, which is where they rightfully belong. Someone contact Dante and let him know we've got another inferno contender.
22. A shower curtain liner with mesh pockets for anyone done with cluttering the corners of their (very tiny) bathtub via an excess of shampoo bottles. You like one for volume and you like the other for strength; I get it. This makes it easy to store a ton of stuff without making your tub feel cluttered.
23. A wallet-sized organizer ideal for storing beauty products *or* other essentials, cc: folded socks and underwear. It's also magnifique for jewelry storage and ensures your necklaces don't become a tangled mess by the time you get to your new apartment.
24. A floating hidden bookshelf that scratches the itch of having your own at-home library (you'll have it one day, I promise). These sturdy shelves are great for anyone with limited storage but a *ton* of books, meaning no more scattered paperbacks littering your bedroom floor.
25. Antique-inspired picture frames available in multiple sizes, styles, and finishes that all pair together perfectly. If you've been dreaming of a kitschy gallery wall but don't have the patience required for curation, let out a sigh of relief. We've just done the work for you.
26. A color-changing LED string for extra lighting if their room is best described as dungeon vampire chic. This has six levels of brightness ranging from warm to light, takes minutes to install, is 32-feet long, and adds a bit of oomph to any WFH corner.
27. Velvet hangers that will save a ridiculous amount of space in your closet. These nonslip babies are super thin but remain sturdy enough to hold the (many) pieces of clothing you own.
28. A six-outlet wall charger with two USB fast-charging ports *and* a night-light, because your entire apartment has a single outlet and considering all the devices that need to be charged... that simply won't suffice. Luxury is being able to juice up my phone, laptop, and earbuds at the same damn time.
29. A TubShroom drain protector invented by a wizard to catch all the hair in your shower (the kind that inevitably leads to clogs). Just think of this magic weapon as your new bathroom bodyguard — install it as soon as you move in to prevent calls to the plumber.
