1. A set of two adhesive shower shelves so you can replace your college caddy with a renter-friendly solution that has enough space to handle every body wash, hair mask, and bubble bath in your arsenal.
Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B
Get it from Amazon for $34.59 (available in two colors).
2. A set of shelf dividers if you've got piles of jeans, towels, and leggings that always start organized but eventually just become one messy super pile.
3. A wood polish that conditions and protects wood with a combination of beeswax and orange oil, while hiding dings and scratches so you can turn back the clock on worn-out furniture.
Promising review: "This product is a MIRACLE! I can't believe how well it worked. Seriously unbelievable. One application and my coffee table looks great again. EASY to use, nothing special required. While I was watching TV, I used an old cloth/rag and spread it on. As easy as that. Nothing else worked on my abused coffee table, this stuff did. I HIGHLY recommend this product." —Carol L. Hill
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
4. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets because (to my shock and horror) you have to clean the thing that cleans your dishes, and these tablets make doing so as quick and easy as...well...running the dishwasher.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I used it in my dishwasher. Had standing water on the bottom, dropped one tablet in the water. Put it on light wash cycle and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super and after my positive experience I am happy to cosign his recommendation." —cheapchicshopper

5. A wall-mounted organizing rack for managing piles of hard-to-store tools (looking at you, brooms and mops) with five slots and six hooks that can support a whopping 35 pounds.
All the instructions and mounting hardware to install are included!
Promising review: "Repeat customer! I purchased one to organize the garden tools (rake, hoe, cultivator, shovel, etc.) in our garage, and by alternating the tops of the tools up/down was able to fit them neatly in the holder. I liked it so much that I'm going to install another next to it for the other items. The hooks are a nice feature to hold our gloves and a simple plastic bag to hold things when needed. The installation kit was very helpful and was able to install without using a drill." —Rob C
Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in four colors).
6. A statement-making macramé wall hanging to dress up that big, blank wall with something other than an expensive canvas. Plus, it comes with invisible mounting brackets so you can get that art gallery "floating" look.
Promising review: "So pretty and well made. Really liked how lightweight this is and easy to install. This is the second piece from this company and the shipping and packaging is great. Definitely looking out for more new pieces from this company. It’s a creative way to cover a larger wall space and not spend a ton. Affordable and adds so much to the overall decor." —Dawg owner
Get it from Amazon for $75+ (available in two colors)
7. A cabinet door organizer so the pile of cutting boards permanently hanging out on your countertops will finally have a home where they're organized, on hand and, most importantly, out of sight.
Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry
Get it from Amazon for $16.47 (also available in a two-pack).
8. An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip if you're tired of bulky plugs and tangled cords preventing you from actually pushing your furniture up against the wall.
Promising review: "This product is awesome! We bought one in the office to stop a nearby chair from continuously hitting the outlet plugs. It solved the problem right away. So we ordered three more to use anywhere there is bulk on the wall. It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, it's clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!" —Jay
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in three lengths).
9. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that'll get rid of (and prevent) the streaks, smudges, and grubby fingerprints that are keeping your appliances from living up to the "stainless" in stainless steel.
It also comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth!
Promising review: "We got this product because, while stainless steel appliances look so nice when you first get them, as soon as you start using them you get fingerprints galore. All of the 'home remedy' tricks we tried were annoying, or so labor-intensive as to be overly frustrating, so this product has been wonderful. It takes only a few minutes to clean all the appliances and make them look brand-new again — great for when company comes over and you want to pretend like you always live in a magazine spread for home rather than the comfortable way you normally do :-)" —Anton Stocker
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
10. A stick-anywhere motion sensor light bar for illuminating lightless closets and dark pantries with approximately zero awkward interactions with an electrician.
These ingenious little lights are magnetic, so they can stick directly onto any magnetic surface. They can also be installed using the included adhesive magnetic strip. Plus, batteries are included!
Promising review: "I LOVE these! The magnet is a great way to install these, but I rent so Command strips are working very well for me. I have one over the bedroom door (in a dark hallway) and another in my closet. The motion detection is so convenient and works perfectly. Everything about these is designed so perfectly, from installation to their perfect size for any location. the best part, though? They're rechargeable! Couldn't be better designed or more perfect!" —Sibelius
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in warm and pure white).
11. A slim modern shoe rack to take care of the growing shoe monster lurking in your entryway, even if you've got next to no floor space left.

Dakota Designs Market is an Advance, North Dakota-based Etsy shop hand-making gorgeous wood products for your home.
Promising review: "I wasn't sure if they would work like I wanted them to work because I wear a size 15. Most shoe organizers won't work with my shoe size. These worked perfectly and they were way better than expected!" —mtown1
Get it from Dakota Designs Market on Etsy for $44.99 (available in two finishes).
13. A drawer divider set so you can skip the part of the morning where you make yourself late digging for that perfect pair of socks.

Promising review: "No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." —M. Hanson
Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $15.97 (available in seven colors).
14. Or a sturdy hanging closet organizer if you're short on drawer space or just need a convenient spot for all those hard-to-store hats, belts, and scarves.
Promising review: "If you are looking for an alternative to a dresser/closet organizer system due to limited space or limited budget, this is a great product. It is easy to assemble. The drawers slide in and out easily. Has a good amount of storage space. It is secure with the velcro that holds to the closet rod, even with clothing's weight. It is also a great value for the price. I highly recommend this closet organizer." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
15. A lightweight carpet shampooer that'll lift years worth of caked-on stains (Fido's contributions included) and cut down on those exorbitant professional carpet-cleaning bills.
And it only weighs about 13 pounds — heavier-duty carpet cleaners usually weigh around 20 — so you won't feel completely exhausted by the time you're done with your living room.
Promising review: "I run dog services, boarding, and daycare out of my home. My carpet sees high traffic regularly and potty accidents on occasion. Love this Hoover! Holy moly! It picks up an INCREDIBLE amount of deeply embedded debris, dirt, stains, and hair. The difference in how much cleaner my carpet is after using it is OUTSTANDING!! I regularly vacuum and spot clean with other carpet cleaners and couldn’t fathom the filth I was actually living in after using the Hoover. It’s easy to assemble and lightweight, too. You can’t deny the results when cleaning out the dirty water tank. Easily the best purchase I have made for my small business! Very impressive!" —Patty DeCarlo
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
16. Plus, a machine cleaner-compatible carpet shampoo solution for returning your floors and rugs to their original color without any toxic chemicals.

Promising review: "I never leave reviews but this I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I’m trying to make last as long as I can...because kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I’ve used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn’t! It smelled great the whole time! I’m hooked!!" —Megan Davis
Get it from Sunny & Honey on Amazon for $16.97+ (available in two sizes).
17. A nonscratch cooktop cleaning kit because you don't trust those mystery stains on your ceramic cooktop, and this kit has everything you need to take your stove from always vaguely greasy to ~glowing~.
The full kit contains a 10-ounce bottle of the cooktop cleaning solution, one cleaning pad, a grip pad tool, and a scraper.
Promising review: "Cerama Bryte was the brand my grandmother recommended using and grandmas are always right! The extra scrape-y tool is a lifesaver for tough splatters. The cleaner and scrubber themselves work wonderfully. After using this, our stove looks sparkling like new again!" —britt
Get it from Amazon for $11.52.
18. A large capacity rotating makeup organizer to turn that sprawling mess of lip balms and makeup brushes into a space-saving display fit for any department store.

Base Roots is a woman-owned small biz creating modern home decor delights with a charming Polaroid-picture feel.
Promising review: "I'm an incoming freshman this fall, and I bought this to add some personality to my dorm. It has beyond exceeded my expectations! I placed it directly on top of my dorm bed as shown in the display photos and am so pleased with how it looks. It fits perfectly with the grey/white color scheme I was going for and have received numerous compliments from both my friends and RAs when they've visited. I cannot stress enough how much of an 'aesthetic feel' it adds to my dorm." —jhsgf
Get it from Base Roots on Amazon for $19.99.
20. And some nonslip velvet hangers that'll transform your closet full of chunky, mismatched plastic hangers into an organized oasis where the hangers are slim, matching, and fit together SO much nicer.

I have replaced all of the hangers in my closet with these hangers, and I couldn't be happier. I am pretty sure I now have double the amount of space. I love this product and would buy it again." —Vida Maars
Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $27.29 (available in five colors).
21. A bundle of palm leaves because why should that chic vase you bought be relegated to flower bouquets that wilt and die when you could fill it with this forever bundle of Instaworthy greenery, instead?
22. A reusable pumice stone for quickly removing stains and having your toilets, sinks, and tubs looking like new — no unsightly rings in sight.
Promising review: "I had a 'ring' in the toilet bowl from hard water on a fairly new toilet. Once I realized what the hard water was doing, I installed a water softener, but nothing seemed to scrub away the ring around the porcelain. I bought this and thought it might scratch the porcelain, but had decided it was worth it because if it didn't work I would replace the toilet, but to my surprise it worked beautifully! The ring is completely gone, with just a small amount of pressure, and there are no visible scratches on the toilet." —Lynne K.
Get it from Amazon for $11.20.
23. A machine-washable velvet couch cover to trick everyone (including yourself) into thinking you got a brand-new sofa. This stretchy set comes with individual covers for each cushion so you can achieve that custom look at a fraction of the cost.
Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz
Get it from Amazon for $52.49+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).
24. A bottle of Goo Gone degreaser spray so you can quickly banish grease and baked-on food from counters, stoves, and cookware without waiting around for hours to see results. This one-step cleaner requires zero presoaking and is gentle enough to use daily.

Because it doesn't rely on adhesive paper, you only have to buy it once and can reuse it — cleaning the hair off the brush when it gets clogged, of course!
Promising reviews: "Finally a lint roller that really works. Now I have an obsessed husband picking up German shepherd hair off the couch. Worth the price paid. It will pay for itself. No more sticky tape rollers!" —Blanca LInda Hatter
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
26. Plus, a length-adjustable pet hair broom with rubber bristles for wrangling all the fur trapped in your carpet that your vacuum couldn't handle. If that's not enough to have you reaching for this broom constantly, there's also a built-in squeegee for corralling spilled liquids and cleaning glass.
Promising review: "I love this damn thing. I use the squeegee side daily on a sealed concrete floor to pick up dog hair. Works like a champ, and even does a great job on edges. So easy, the hubby voluntarily sweeps with it every day, sometimes twice. I also got him an EyeVac to instantly suck all the hair and dirt up without him having to go hunt a dustpan and chase the dustpan debris line across the floor." —PA Lady

27. A floating hidden bookshelf that'll take the load off your crowded bookshelf and turn your ever-growing novel collection into eye-catching wall decor. Same amount of stuff with a less cluttered feel.

Promising review: "A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and rub...Make sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." —Paul Wedero
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
29. A peel-and-stick faux marble adhesive paper for giving your countertops an expensive-looking update on the cheap that doesn't just look great, but is stain- and water-resistant too.
Promising review: "I took a chance and bought this originally as a 'Band-Aid fix' to refinish a desk. I had looked in stores in the contact paper aisles, but all of them were just that...paper. THIS item is actually a thin sheet of vinyl with adhesive, and I ended up liking it so much I bought more and refinished my kitchen countertop with it as well! Highly recommended if you want to change the look of your counters but you don't have the money for a full remodel just yet. It can be cleaned with dish soap and water just like a real countertop." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four sizes).

Suitable for drawers with a minimum height of 3.25 inches, this organizer fits up to 24 pieces of cutlery.
Promising review: "I thought this would be handy and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean, and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side by side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." —Jerimi

Got it here, and I am LOVING IT. things definitely look cleaner. spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand-new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads-up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. if you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos
Get it from Amazon for $107.19.
33. An adjustable bakeware rack that can be used for a lot more than cupcake tins and baking sheets. Cutting boards, collapsible colanders, lids, and even casserole dishes can all live together in organized harmony.
Promising review: "By the picture, I was expecting a lightweight plastic base with flimsy metal uprights that would hold a lightweight pan or cutting board. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!! This is a very heavy-duty base with a good grip on the bottom. The uprights are heavy coated wire to prevent scratching of the items it is holding. I am SO PLEASED with the quality of this rack that I will be ordering a couple more to use for my skillets. Buy with confidence as these are really a quality product." —labbie1
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
34. A set of microfiber cloths because why bother cleaning if the glass is just going to look foggy anyway? These cleaning cloths will make sure your hard work doesn't go to waste with a 100% lint- and streak-free finish.
They're great for windows or any glassware, too!
Promising review: "I couldn't get my windows clean using cleaning solution, newsprint, and a lot of elbow grease. There were always streaks and dirt left behind. Enter these things. One quick cleaning, and I do mean quick, and my windows are now cleaner than any windows I've ever cleaned. It's simply amazing. We were all standing around in utter shock and delight before running around trying the cloths on other stuff: the TV, the picture glass, etc. I know it sounds corny, but I couldn't wait to get up this morning, because I woke up in the middle of the night excitedly thinking about trying it on the car today. They are truly, truly amazing." —Xena the Warrior Mama

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three styles).
