1. A darling Rudolph doormat to let guests know they are, in fact, welcome to join in on your reindeer games (aka your holiday bash).
Just note that the red and black buffalo plaid mat in the reviewer photo is not included, but you can find a similar one here if you love that look!
Promising review: "Excellent doormat and super cute! Very thick — good for getting snow and mud off your boots in the winter. Great size! I am extremely impressed!" —Mtngrl84
Get it from Amazon for $18.64+ (available in five sizes).
2. Bissell's Little Green cleaner, which will zap those mystery spots on your couch before your in-laws can pass any judgment. This small yet mighty machine effortlessly removes seemingly impossible stains from carpets and upholstery with its strong spray and suction functions, and its large tank means less refilling while cleaning.
The Little Green comes with a tough stain tool, HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, and a trial-size Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula.
Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing, but considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. I posted photos for reference of how dirty my cushions were before the cleaning and after the cleaning! Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina
Get it from Amazon for $109.59 (also available in two models designed for pets).
3. And a nontoxic carpet deodorizing solution, because you love your pet, but having a house that reeks of pee? Yeah, not so much. Reviewers say it'll take care of stubborn messes and nasty lingering odors with its refreshingly minty scent so your folks won't be holding their noses all night.
This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express vacuum cleaners.
Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business making cleaning products designed for pet owners who want keep their homes stain- and odor-free.
Promising review: "A true sensory experience while completing a mundane, laborious chore! The scent from this cleaner was pleasing versus the harsh chemical smell from the other brands out there. Yet, it was able to remove old stains that had been in the carpet fiber for well over seven years. This surprised me as I had just accepted that those stains were there to stay. Plus, it's concentrated so I just used over a bit of the recommended amount. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterwards. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! Thanks to Amazon for carrying this and making it easy for me to locate on the site!!!" —Marie J.

4. And speaking of pets, a super popular ChomChom pet hair remover to roll over furniture, bedding, clothes, or anywhere you'd like to hide evidence of your beloved cat's out-of-control shedding before guests arrive. Best of all? It's totally reusable and doesn't require any annoying sticky film, making it eco-friendly and cost-effective!
Promising review: "This thing is magical and I wish I had found it sooner. Even the most stubborn of dog hairs that have been seemingly woven into the fabric of your couch are no match for the ChomChom. The satisfying click of the roller will have you ChomChom-ing every surface you possibly can, while your dog looks at you in cold betrayal for removing his precious fur deposits. He plots revenge against this new nemesis, revenge that is doomed to fail from the start, because the ChomChom is far too powerful. Meanwhile, you are transfixed by the serotonin rush filling your brain as your ChomChom fills with more and more hair, leaving a path of de-furred sofa in its wake. The dog barks in disapproval. You smile, finally sitting on fur-free furniture for the first time in a long time. Maybe you’ll even have friends over now." —Will
Get it from Amazon for $28.95 — don't forget to apply the coupon to save $4!
5. A deluxe charcuterie board set that'll keep your guests satiated while you frantically finish up some last-minute meal prep. Cheese and crackers (emphasis on the cheese) are always a safe bet, but if you wanna try your hand at one of those viral butter boards, knock yourself out.
It comes with an extra round tray, two slate labels (with chalk), two ceramic bowls for dipping sauces, and four slicing and serving utensils.
Promising review: "Bought the product as a present for my partner for the holidays. The charcuterie cheese board itself is great, and the ability to store the cheese knives was an excellent addition for transportation and to 'wow' people at parties. I was able to host twice with the device, and it often was able to hold around six to eight cheeses and cracker combinations reasonably well without feeling like the device is crowded. I also like how easy it was to clean, since the drawer used to store the knives can be easily removed. Finally, I enjoyed all the additional items that came with this set." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
6. An adorable set of reindeer tealight holders you can place on every surface to ensure no corner of your home is without a little holly jolly energy.
Promising review: "So. Freaking. Adorable. I got them for my mom as an early Christmas present. Everyone who came over to our house during the Christmas season gushed over these cuties. And I had to send the link for their Amazon page to at least two people." —Haley Livingston
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.76.
7. A set of "Be Our Guest" hand towels, because even your bathroom should feel welcoming. Just remind your visitors the West Wing is forbidden!
8. A *super* popular LED lights panel (over 75,000 5-star ratings!) so you can turn your home into the coziest little haven. They can be used indoors and outside, and they're so pretty you'll wanna keep 'em up long after your guests have left.
It comes with eight lighting modes and has a lifespan of 1,200+ hours!
Promising review: "Very happy with this purchase, especially for the price. We bought two sets to hang on the ceiling in our family room during the winter when it gets dark so early. Fantastic! We used the Command small clear decorating clips to hang them. Worked like a charm! Originally intended just for the holidays, but it brightens up the room so well that we have left them up. Nightly use for multiple hours for several months. Couldn't be happier!" —Anonymous
Get a 6.6-foot by 9.8-foot set of lights from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors, as well as a larger size).
9. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to rid your kitchen of those gross, lingering smells coming from your sink in mere minutes. After all, no one wants their pecan pie with a side of mildew stench. 🤢
Just stick one of the pouches into your drain, turn the faucet and disposal on, and this stuff will replace those yucky odors with a bright, lemony scent. Plus, watching it bubble up is pretty fun!
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $5.12+ (available bagged or boxed, as well as in a pack of 24).
10. Plus, a pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets, because if you've ever noticed rancid, moldy odors coming out of the machine, chances are your dishes aren't as clean as you think they are. These have a subtle, crisp scent, which will take the place of those offensive stenches so your guests aren't gagging while helping you with the dishes.
Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!
Promising review: "This really works great for cleaning dishwashers. Don't tell anyone, but I haven't previously cleaned my dishwasher since we bought it about four years ago. It had a decent amount of funk on it, and it started to smell funny. That's why I bought these tablets. I used one — put it in the detergent compartment and turned on the dishwasher on normal setting. After the cycle was done, all the sediment from a few years of use was gone and any unpleasant odor was nonexistent. Zero effort required, easy to use, and worth trying!" —Agy
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
11. A set of cozy, 100% cotton flannel sheets that'll make overnight guests feel like they're sleeping in a warm cocoon when they're curled up in them.
This set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases.
Promising review: "Warm, comfortable, heaven. Bought these for our king-sized bed. We have a firm mattress topped with a 3-inch pillow top, and these sheets fit it perfectly! I love the fit. They wash up nicely and feel wonderful on a cold winter night. I'm going to buy more for the guest room. I'm certain our guests will enjoy them as much as we have. Also, the price was amazing for the quality." —Kindle Customer
Get them from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes twin–split California king and 14 colors).
12. And a set of hotel-quality cooling gel pillows, because even if your guests can't sleep in their own bed, they can still enjoy a 5-star slumber experience in yours! These fluffy, breathable pillows ensure both sides are the ~cool side~ to help prevent uncomfortable night sweats.
Bonus: These are fully machine washable.
Promising review: "After looking for pillows everywhere in stores and not being satisfied, I decided to trust a TikTok that I saw featuring these pillows and checked out the reviews here and saw the hype. Decided to trust this hype and order two of my own, and they are SERIOUSLY THE BEST PILLOWS EVER! Trust the reviews. Took two minutes to fluff up to use, and both my fiancé and I are having the best sleeps now." —Ellen

13. A 100% natural oven scrub made of pumice that'll turn what is probably your most dreaded chore into a much more bearable experience, since it doesn't contain headache-inducing chemicals. Now when you pull out the turkey, you won't hear your parents say, "Um, sweetie, when was the last time you cleaned that thing?"
It also comes with a metallic scrubber!
Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products.
Promising review: "Love everything about this! Love the scent and the clean it provides! We could not get our oven window clean with any previous product — this did it in seconds :)" —Elizabeth Rowe
Another promising review: "This stuff is MAGIC! One application and it took 15 years of yuck off my oven that refused to come off with other oven cleaners! The product does most of the work so you really don’t have to scrub for hours. Highly recommend this stuff!" —Traci Hutchinson
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
14. A coat rack and storage shelf, because you can never have too many places for storing everyone's puffers and boots. This unit has a spot for seemingly everything, and even a little bench to sit on while taking shoes on and off.
Promising review: "We desperately needed something to organize our shoes, bags, and coats as everything always ended up either on the dining room table or in a heap on the floor. I am very happy with this purchase. It was very easy to assemble, is very sturdy and seems well made, and looks great! It doesn’t take up a lot of room but has a lot of storage space available on it. I like that the hooks are removable, so you can place them where you want. Overall, I'm very pleased and would recommend." —Sam B.
Get it from Amazon for $68.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).
15. Or if you're short on space, a rubber boot tray that'll ensure the slush your guests dragged in with them doesn't get all over your newly washed floors.
Promising review: "OK. I know you might be saying 'it's just a boot tray'... and yeah you're kind of right. But let me tell you that I am in LOVE with this mat. I want them all over my house. The rubber is PERFECT. Thick, durable, holds its shape but still super flexible. Way better than the plastic ones IMO. Size is awesome — holds three pairs of adult boots with room to spare. The ridges are deep, so wet shoes will actually be able to drip and get airflow to dry on the bottom, unlike others where the bumps or ridges aren't high enough and they just sit in a puddle. So easy to clean — I usually just vacuum it, but I anticipate the salty winter and muddy spring may require an occasional soak in the tub or hose off outside. I have complete faith this thing will wash up quick and easy. Honestly, the feel of it is just such good quality and it looks so nice that I bought a second one." —Candace
Get it from Amazon for $12.19+ (available in two sizes and seven styles).
16. A cocktail shaker set for whipping up those new drinks you learned how to make on TikTok. Serve them as your guests arrive, and they won't even notice dinner won't be ready for another hour. Grab those extra minutes where you can!
It comes with a shaker with built-in strainer, two pourers, a muddler, jigger, mixing spoon, and velvet carrying bag, along with some cocktail recipe cards!
Promising review: "This shaker set is great. It is excellent quality and easy to use. My last shaker had issues with taking the cap off for pouring, but this one comes off easily and stays on and doesn't leak while shaking. The speed pourers work and all the extras seem to be of good quality. Love the color and the fact that it comes with a velvet carrying sack for taking to a friend's house. Great purchase!" —Friedchicken879
Get it from Amazon for $17.23+ (available in four colors).
17. And a rolling bar cart that's equal parts decorative and functional. Stock it with your favorite bottles, and let your friends fix their own drinks while you sprint around the kitchen doing last-minute tasks.
This cart's dimensions are 32"H x 15"W x 12.25"D.
Promising review: "This is such a beautiful bar cart! I’m surprised it’s not priced higher for the quality of this product. It’s super easy to assemble, and you can fit a lot on it! I’ve tried other carts, and I’m very pleased with this. Size, sturdiness, and height are perfection. I wouldn’t even hesitate to purchase this!" —Mikyle Jessen
Get it from Amazon for $119.99.
18. A compact 'LectroFan white noise machine so overnight guests can get a restful night's sleep, even while your next-door neighbors are blasting Mariah's Christmas album at 3 a.m.
This is the exact machine I use to help me fall asleep each and every night, and it's an absolute game changer. When I first moved to my current house, I quickly realized I'd been ~blessed~ with neighbors who think it's perfectly acceptable to throw outdoor parties at midnight on a Tuesday, and I knew I'd need something to drown out their literal shrieking in order to get any sleep. Enter: my beloved 'LectroFan, which I'll be the first to admit is nothing fancy, but 100% gets the job done. It comes with 20 nonlooping sounds, and you can let it go all night or set it for an hour (I'm of the "all night" persuasion and it usually has me conking out like a baby). I'm not the most savvy when it comes to tech and gadgets so I appreciate the minimalist interface, and it's proven to be incredibly user-friendly, even for me. Plus, since it weighs just over a pound, it would be a great thing to pack on a trip juuust in case your hotel room neighbors like to rage at 3 a.m. so you're not laying in bed like 😳
Promising review: "I live on an extremely busy city street, and I have sensitivity to constant, random noises. This little slice of heaven got delivered less than an hour ago, is set at brown noise volume 3, and I’m at peace. I truly am so glad I stumbled upon this device. Extremely easy to use, nice to look at, tiny but plenty of volume. Cheers to finally sleeping again!" —Cat
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in black or white, as well as in two other models for kids, and with two packaging options).
19. A pack of flossing toothbrushes, because what's the one thing we always forget to pack whenever we go away? Bingo. These have bristles that are 10 times thinner than your average toothbrush to get into all of those nooks and crannies, and your guests will be so relieved you had extras on hand.
Mouthwatchers is a small biz founded by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Their toothbrushes are made with silver-infused bristles to eliminate 99% of bacteria, and the dual-layered design helps the brush reach those deep areas where 95% of cavities form.
BuzzFeeder Stephanie Hope uses these very toothbrushes: "Growing up, I was the absolute worst at flossing and brushing my teeth. It was so bad, I ended up developing periodontitis, which is inflammation of the gums caused by a build up of bacteria. It causes your gums to separate and recede from your teeth. It's pretty bad. Well, now I obviously go to the dentist regularly, but still struggle to floss my teeth as often as I should. These toothbrushes are such a game changer for me! The bristles at the tip are sooo tiny, I can literally feel them cleaning between my teeth. My gums get red easily if I don't floss enough, and ever since I started using this twice a day, they're no longer red! They look so healthy, and I truly feel like I'm actually getting a good cleaning, compared to other manual toothbrushes. It's gentle enough for my sensitive gums, but gets in deep to prevent plaque. I'm obsessed!"
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $16.06+ (available in four colors and a variety pack).
20. A pack of melamine sponges, which are fantastic for tackling those unsightly wall smudges your child loves making after they've downed a bag of Cheetos. Give your common areas a quick once-over with these, and no one will be the wiser.
Just wet with water and wipe! Reviewers say they're an excellent dupe for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and much more affordable.
Promising review: "As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls, and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." —Stephen Brandau

Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $11.95.
21. A Roomba robot vacuum to clean your floors while you take care of the 8,947 other things on your to-do list. Not needing to sweep yourself = more time to prep the meal!
It's compatible with Alexa and runs for up to 90 minutes before automatically returning to its dock to recharge.
Promising review: "Life changing. My Roomba is one of my favorite things I have ever bought myself. It’s incredible! It cleans so thoroughly, and I am so impressed by how well it cleans under furniture. As a two-cat owner who is not the best at maintaining a cleaning schedule, I can’t believe it took me this long to get one. It is also great on both carpet and hard wood!" —Katherine Hanson
Get it from Amazon for $179+ (also available with a virtual wall barrier or replenishing kit).
22. A highly rated portable Bluetooth speaker that'll fill the room with pro-sounding holiday music and help set a lively, convivial tone (while drowning out the sound of your upstairs neighbors screaming). Only merry vibes here!
It's also waterproof, making it great for outdoor use as well.
Promising review: "I don’t write a lot of reviews. Normally, a product meets my expectations. And if it doesn’t, I send it back without complaining. But this speaker vastly exceeded my expectations and thought I should share. This tiny thing can boom sound like no other speaker of its size. I blasted the speaker full volume in a room downstairs. A few rooms and a flight of stairs away, I could still hear every lyric to the song I was playing. (You can tell I got a bit excited). It instantly connected to my phone via Bluetooth. It also seems sturdy enough that it can be knocked around a bit, which is helpful to me since I’d use it outside a lot. It’s the smallest portable speaker I’ve ever used, yet produces more sound without any distortion at high volumes. The quality of the sound at all levels is phenomenal. I’m excited to see what mileage I get out of it. But as far as I can tell, this speaker is the best one you can get for this amount of money. And I’d argue it’s worth more." —Connor

23. A complete 12-person flatware set to ensure you're not short a fork when your cousin shows up with their new "friend," aka someone they met on the way to your place. 🙃 Always a good idea to plan on unexpected guests juuust in case!
It includes 12 dinner forks, dinner spoons, salad forks, steak knives, butter knives, and tea/dessert spoons, along with a serving spoon, slotted serving spoon, pie server, butter spreader, and ice cream spoon.
Promising review: "I am so impressed with this flatware set. I was worried that they would feel light or cheap due to the price, but they don’t feel that way at all. This isn’t one of those good-for-the-price moments. This is a GOOD flatware set, the price is just a bonus. We’ve been using them for over a month now and still haven’t seen any rusting. So impressed." —Allie Williams
Get a set of 77 pieces to serve 12 people from Amazon for $50.99+ (also available in black, as well as in 29- to 65-piece sets in three other colors).
24. A pack of deodorizing toilet bombs that'll make quick work of getting your smelly toilet ready for prime time. Simply pop one into the bowl, let it fizz up, brush, and flush!
P.S. The maker also says they use these to clean their garbage disposal!
Based in Menomonee Falls, WI, Blue Poppy Bath makes handmade bath and body products with the *cutest* packaging.
Promising review: "Best toilet bombs I have used! Pleasant, mild scent, and terrific cleaning. Very fizzy and scrubbing was easy. I also appreciate that each one is individually wrapped in foil, so they don't break apart during shipping and storage and leave me with toilet bomb chunks." —Jennifer Burns
Another promising review: "I saw these recommended on BuzzFeed. I tried them and as a housecleaner, as a profession, I have not seen anything clean so well and easy. Somehow the toilet even stays cleaner longer!" —Marcie Johnson
Get a 10-pack from Blue Poppy Bath on Etsy for $7.60 (originally $9.50).
25. And a bottle of "popular for a reason" Poo-Pourri your guests will feel eternally grateful for when they realize they'll be spending, well, more time in your b-room than they'd thought. 😬
Promising review: "I was hesitant to use this product. It seemed silly, but finally broke down and bought some; this smells SO GOOD! My sister asked what was in my bathroom that smelled so great, and when I told her, she had to have some too. Makes a great funny gift they will actually love!" —Josie Morehead
Get it from Amazon for $12.19 (available in many other scents here).
26. A pre-lit pinecone and berry-studded wreath to greet everyone with some festive holiday cheer. Plus, it'll give your neighbors something pretty to look at while they shovel their driveways.
Don't forget the AAA batteries!
Promising review: "Perfect fluff and quality! Love that this wreath looks gorgeous on our front door and has an automatic timer that turns it on for six hours and off for 18 — takes all the thinking out of it! Beautiful warm lights, too!" —Heather
Get it from Wayfair for $34.99.
27. And a felt letter board so you can share customized messages with friends and loved ones upon their arrival. Your guests will feel all warm and fuzzy before they've even stepped foot inside!
It's a complete set that comes with 300 letters and symbols!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh. It truly doesn’t get any cuter when it comes to decor. From the moment I opened the package I was enchanted with this product. It takes time and some small scrapbook scissors to cut all the letters apart, but worth the time so they don’t have the little nubs on them. Adorable! I debated giving this as a Christmas gift, but it’s so cute I’ve decided to keep it and get another one. I can’t wait to decorate with it! So many possibilities. Thank you!" —SRiteNow
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four sizes and 27 colors).

If you want a *dazzling* kitchen that'll impress your friends and family, this lavender-scented spray will help you achieve just that.
This spray contains aromatic lavender essential oil, which polishes and shines without streaking and creates a protective barrier for preventing future smudges.
Promising review: "This stainless cleaner is the best I've ever used! I've bought numerous brands over the years attempting to find one that actually works...My search is over! This cleans, polishes, and aids in preventing new smudges. Worth every penny." —Kelly Lyford
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available as a two- or six-pack).

Highly recommend!" —Emma Holt

Wine Away is a woman-owned brand based in the US!
For best results, absorb the excess liquid, then saturate the spot with the stain remover. Let it sit for one to five minutes, then blot it out. This product can also be used on hard surfaces to remove latex paint and grease.
Promising review: "When you have anything white in your house and you have a love for red wine THIS PRODUCT IS A MUST! We had a dinner party of about 15 people in our house so I bought five bottles just in case. Someone spilled red wine on our brand-new white couch. I was so mad, but I used this stuff and it was GONE. It didn't just take most of the red wine out — the red wine was GONE! No trace of it at all! I will buy more!" —Alial

34. And a luxurious towel warmer to give your houseguests a tingly spa experience right in your b-room. 🥰 Don't be surprised if they never leave after using this thing.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this warmer. I got this as a Christmas present for myself and use it every time I shower. It is definitely worth the price. I usually put clothing inside first, unravel a towel and place it in next, then turn the warmer on before I shower. In 15–20 minutes, the towel is HOT. If you’re contemplating purchasing this warmer, do yourself a favor and submit your payment ASAP!" —Brittvny Thomvs
Get it from Amazon for $134.99.
35. A window blind duster brush, because even though the thought of cleaning each of those slats probably sounds nothing short of extraordinarily taxing, it's gotta happen if you don't want a surprise dust bunny falling on grandma during dessert. Luckily, this handy device seriously cuts down on the amount of time it takes — you're welcome!
Included are five reusable and washable microfiber cloths, which can also be used for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like air conditioner vents and car blinds.
Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job: cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value — being reusable, and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" —Sandy D
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in blue or green).
36. Some easy-to-wash round placemats to bring some cohesion to the dinner table (while saving you an extra load of laundry!). Just wipe 'em clean!

38. An otherworldly room and linen spray to quickly spritz all over your house so it smells downright dreamy before everyone arrives. Chances are you're gonna underestimate how long getting everything ready will take, and in turn, run out of time to *properly* clean, but this quick fix will keep your fam from wincing as soon as they walk through your door.

Promising review: "Love the linen scent! I’ve been trying to rid my home of other sprays/candles/products that have yucky chemicals. As I’m replacing with safe products, it’s been hard to order scents online before smelling. I’ve struck out with other companies a couple of times, but I love everything I’ve purchased from here. The scents are so light and refreshing. Perfect! Thank you!!!" —Rachel May

39. A bottle of silver polish that'll help revive all of the tarnished serving ware you plan on using. You'll feel like a regular restoration expert as you wipe away the rust and see a glistening finish.
Promising review: "I purchased this polish so I could clean the antique silver that my grandmother needed polished. Well, color me impressed! I was expecting it to look a little cleaner, but this polish went far beyond that. It removed all the tarnish and dirt that had built up over the last decade. Everything shines beautifully! I was so impressed that I tried it on my jewelry and stainless steel refrigerator. It cleaned and shined quickly." —Amanda Dempsey

40. And finally, a pack of solar-powered, motion sensor-activated lights to illuminate your yard and driveway — a thoughtful and safety-ensuring gesture when you have guests coming and going after the sun has set (aka any time after 4 p.m. 🙃). Best of all, no charging required!
Promising review: "I purchased these to cover the side of my house. Installation was easy and I left them outside for two days to charge. The light coverage was about what I expected from them and do the job well. The motion sensitivity covers all the side and lights turn on. It has rained about three times and still work great and hoping they last for a long time." —J. Argueta
