We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A five-piece painting kit since there is a high probability you'll end up repainting a bunch of the rooms in the house, and you don't want to get caught without the proper tools.
2. A rubber plunger to keep around in the unfortunate instance that you need to unclog the toilet and would really rather not have to call a plumber. Gone are the blissful days of calling your building's maintenance crew whenever things go wrong. But this buddy will always have your back when it comes to toilet care.
3. A toy storage organizer if you have little ones around, because you're quickly gonna need some serious help for keeping the new playroom clean and tidy – and with 16 different bins, this should do the trick.
4. A three-tier shoe rack for a functional but also fashionable way to store your sneakers and boots and keep the entryway organized. Hopefully you can encourage the rest of your fam to actually *use* it so they don't have to be told "don't leave your shoes in the middle of the road" basically every day (which I heard basically every day growing up).
5. An air purifier because you want you and your fam to be breathing in the cleanest air possible — and this baby, equipped with a SensorPod, DuPont filtration, and UV-C light technology, will filter out all the pollutants, allergens, and other icky germs invisibly floating around your house. This is especially useful if you just moved to a new area that is full of yucky plant allergens you've never even been exposed to before!
6. An outlet timer so you can program when you want certain lights or appliances to turn on and off, which becomes very convenient for when you're not home but want your lights on for your fur baby (or fall asleep on the couch and don't want to get up to turn off all the lights).
7. Or a pair of smart plugs that will let you control anything that's plugged in – electronics, lights, and more – directly from an app or with Alexa voice controls. Finally! You'll never again have to get out of your snuggly bed, go back downstairs and check to make sure you turned all the lights off.
8. A nonslip rug pad to place under all your area rugs (and you're going to have a lot) so they stay in place and don't shift around every time you/ one of the kiddos/ one of the dogs steps on one.
9. A Wi-Fi range extender since your Wi-Fi suddenly has to cover a much greater distance than it did in your tiny apartment. This will boost the Wi-Fi signal throughout your home, eliminating "dead zones" and giving you a reliable, high-speed connection in every nook and cranny of the house.
10. A Google Nest smart thermostat that will esnure that your home is always at the perfect temperature. But that's not all — this will even turn itself down when you're away on vacation. And if you want to adjust either the heat or AC when you're out of the house so you can come to a cool/ cozy house, all you have to do is hop on the app.
11. A pack of adhesive protective dots to keep your beautiful wooden cabinets from getting dinged by slamming doors or a falling pot or pan, or your cabinets from getting scratched by lamps or knickknacks. Plus, with four different colors, you can be sure your dots won't disrupt your decor, either.
12. A roll of nonadhesive shelf liner for an excellent way to keep everything from chaotically shifting around and protect your new home's drawers and cabinet shelves (since they're gonna be yours for a looooong time).
13. A 40-piece household tool kit to help you assemble furniture and handle DIY projects around the house. It's a great beginner kit and a super handy investment for folks who are in the process of learning how to upkeep the homestead.
14. A 2-foot level if crooked pictures and decorations drive you bonkers. Use this level while you hang things on your walls to make sure everything is perfectly straight and not tilted. It's also great if you decide to install floating shelves.
15. A GE power pack with an extension cord, six-outlet power strip, and three-outlet wall tap, so you can be safe (aka there's surge protection) and set up all your electronics, lighting, and appliances wherever you need!
16. A Kitchen Aid stand mixer for those of you who already love baking and cooking, or are excited to finally have a sizeable kitchen and want to start ~cheffing it up~. This is one of those lifelong kitchen appliances worth investing in, especially once you're settled into a home that has enough counter space for storing it.
17. A budget planner to help you keep track of all those new bills and expenses that come along with being a homeowner, so you know exactly what your decorating/ fun yard ornament budget is.
18. A fire extinguisher with mounting bracket, since the last thing you want to stress about is a fire starting and causing damage to your home or yard. This is an important fire safety essential that will definitely give you peace of mind.
19. A carbon monoxide detector because CO is easy to miss, but incredibly dangerous! This deadly gas has no odor or color, so the only way to alert yourself is to have an alarm. Plus, the battery back-up means you're covered even if the power goes out.
20. A Google Nest video doorbell so you can have high-def eyes on your front door at all times. Once hooked up to your smart home hub, you can set up alerts and view the live feed from anywhere via the app. This way, you'll always know if your package delivery is here, or if it's just those pesky neighborhood kids playing ding-dong-ditch again.
21. A standing wood wine rack for a classy way to store and display up to 24 bottles of fine wine. Plus, it also doubles as an elegant bar for mixing drinks — which will totally come in handy at your highly-anticipated housewarming party.
22. A Pur water filtration system that mounts directly onto your faucet, giving you clean and fresh-tasting purified water right from your tap. With water that tastes this fresh and yummy, you'll have no problem staying hydrated all day every day and you won't have to invest in an expensive (and complicated-to-install!) built-in filtration system.
23. A Roomba robot vacuum since there's a whole lot more floor space to keep clean in your new home. Luckily, this little gadget will do it for you!
24. A four pack of dimmable LED lightbulbs so you can brighten up any dark rooms with maximum energy-efficiency, which will leave you saving money on energy costs and actually being able to tell if the shirt you're wearing is black or navy blue for once in your life.
25. A 37 gallon dual-chamber composting bin if you've got a brand-new garden going in your brand-new backyard and you're ready to get serious about composting. Once this baby is assembled, you just have to turn it occasionally during the day and within weeks, you'll have transformed your kitchen and food waste into useful soil nutrients!
26. An adjustable impact-base sprinkler that easily hooks up to your hose and will water up to 5,800 square feet of grass. Because yes, you are done calling a tiny concrete balcony "my yard." You actually have a real yard to take care of now!
27. A two-level lazy Susan to install in your kitchen's corner cabinet and transform all that open space into usable, organized, easily accessible storage areas instead.
28. A slim bidet attachment with adjustable water pressure and dual nozzle spray, so you can *finally* jump on the TP-free clean-tush bandwagon, now that you know you won't have to uninstall it in a few months when you move.
29. A bottle of Preen weed preventer to keep your garden and walkways free of pesky, annoying-to-remove weeds, since it'll be one less thing for you to take care of in your new home.
30. A touchscreen keypad deadbolt lock for an extra secure way to lock up the house without having to bother with keys. It's super handy, especially if you have kids (or adults!) in the house who seem to lose their keys every 10 minutes.
31. A compact recycling bin that's the ideal size for fitting under your desk or under the kitchen sink to conveniently collect plastic, paper, and other recyclables. Finally, you don't have to lug these to some weird, stinky trash room in the basement. Just put them on the curb on collection day. Outside your HOUSE!!
