    Promising review: "If you have night sweats, you need to buy these sheets. I do and I bought a set. Oh my, I just love them. Not only are they soft, but they also seem to be cooling too. No more night sweats for me." —Linda Leynes

    Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes Twin–Cal. King and in 11 colors).

    2. Plus, a pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows if you're tired of feeling like Goldilocks, testing pillows that are too soft or too stiff. Finally, this one is just right.

    Promising review: "I am very impressed with these pillows. They are very comfortable, stay cool, and maintain their shape. I bought two more because I liked them so much." —Amazon Customer

    Get a pair from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in two sizes).

    3. A three-piece wicker chair and table set for creating an outdoor lounge space so stylish your indoor furniture might start to get jealous.

    This set includes two armchairs with seat cushions and a side table with a tempered glass top.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this set 😍 I cannot believe the price of it. It shipped fast, and was fairly quick and easy to assemble. It’s a hit; I get so many compliments by anyone who rings the doorbell." —Mrs.Mathews

    Get it from Amazon for $118.98+ (available in four colors).

    4. An adjustable recessed light converter kit so you can finally give in and get those FAB pendant lamps you've been eyeing since forever. 

    Promising review: "I love this thing. It took me about 15 minutes to install this. Note: Don't try to directly drill the screws through the can. You will likely need to pre-drill holes in the can for the screws. I converted a recessed light into a 3-light unit that hangs above my kitchen island. The unit weighs 20 pounds, and the conversion kit handles it easily. This saves so much money instead of having to convert the recessed light to a traditional electrical box. Very simple, yet wonderful product." —Pete I.

    Get it from Amazon for $18.59.

    5. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner because you love your modern appliances but hate the constant streaks, smudges, and grubby fingerprints preventing them 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.

    6. toothbrush station to clear counter clutter and prevent goopy messes with a wall-mounted unit that stores and dispenses the perfect amount of toothpaste on your brushes every time. It's much more sanitary than leaving out uncovered brushes *AND* it conveniently holds four rinse cups.

    It holds five toothbrushes and the two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube. 

    Promising review: "You need one! I love this! So easy to install and holds nice and tight to the wall. The toothbrushes sit nicely in the holder and are easy for my kids to grab. The two gargle cups are nice but we added little Dixie cups to ours instead. The toothpaste function works really well and isn’t messy for our kids. I highly recommend this!" —Sarah C.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors). 

    7. A set of eight solar-powered jar lanterns filled with string lights that'll soak up sun during the day so they can glow dreamily for you at night.

    Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $39.99.

    8. A nonslip slatted bath mat if your fluffy bath mat is looking (and smelling) a little worse for wear. This one gives your bathroom an instant spa-like feel with easy-to-clean, renewable bamboo, which naturally repels water.

    Promising review: "The material is great. It's soft but flexible, so it feels comfortable to step on but also sturdy beneath your feet. I got a bigger size, and it actually pulls the room together, making my tiny bathroom look rather chic. Honestly, I think it's great and better for the environment because I don't have to launder it every week." —JamieJo

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes and in black).

    9. A minimalist flip-down hanger for a sleek storage solution that cleverly doubles as modern art when not in use.

    Promising review: "These hooks are functional and fun. There are five hooks for hanging your items. It's plastic, not wood — the description states this. It's easy to install and came with a paper ruler to use as a guide when installing. I have rain coats, umbrellas, sweaters, and dog leashes hanging on it and it's holding well." —M String

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in seven colors).

    10. 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 $17.97 (also available in a two-pack).

    11. A fast-acting lawn repair formula because your dog's pee, playing, and digging have wreaked havoc on your yard. This easy-to-use combination of grass seeds, mulch, and soil amendment is specifically designed to repair pet-induced damage and get new grass growing ASAP. 

    Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn good, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" —Mariah

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five sizes).

    12. A fresh eucalyptus bundle to make every shower feel like a spa day. Not only does this hanging bouquet look incredibly chic, but shower steam releases that soothing eucalyptus scent and all the decongesting and stress relieving benefits that come with it.

    Promising review: "I was surprised at the actual size of the eucalyptus I received, in a good way! It’s great that it includes the hook and directions to get the most out of your product. I’m super happy so far and am really impressed with the quality. Can’t wait to order another one in the future!" —Hannah Lowe

    Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $16.80+ (available in three sizes). 

    13. A colorful wireless keyboard and mouse set that'll add some joy-inducing color to your workspace without any bothersome cords to tie you down.

    The set includes a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. Pick up some AA batteries — both will need them!

    Promising review: "Every time I walk into my red office and see this beautiful keyboard it makes me happy. It looks just like it does in the photo. It's such a jolt of color and with its cool circular retro buttons, it's just a pleasure to use. If you need a pick me up (and who doesn't this year?), I can't recommend this highly enough." —CA-girl

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 12 styles).

    14. 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, and it's clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!" —Jay

    Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in six styles).

    15. A self-adhesive paper towel roll holder for easy access to your paper towels without sacrificing any more precious counter space. Now you can have it all with tool-free installation to boot.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.90+ (available in three colors). 

    16. A set of two adhesive shower shelves so you can replace your college caddy with a renter-friendly solution with 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 $33.99 (available in two colors). 

    17. An electric pressure washer because sometimes the only update your home needs is a powerful deep clean to wash all that built-up grime. Did you get new siding? No! You just cleaned it for the first time in forever.

    a reviewer photo of the same steps now clean

    This pressure washer has a powerful 1,800-watt motor, five quick-connect spray tips, a 20-foot hose, and a 40.6 fluid ounce detegrent tank.

    Promising review: "This has been one of the best investments we as homeowners have made. This little guy gets the job done; countless things have been cleaned since we bought it three years ago. My favorite is our backyard pavers. The cord may not be long enough for some users depending on how big the space you are washing is, but for us it works just fine. Highly recommend!" —BSanchez

    Get it from Amazon for $186.99.

    18. 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.

    Promising review: "I am in love with this shoe rack! It went above my expectation in terms of how many shoes it would store. It’s sleek too so it fit perfectly where I wanted it in my bedroom." —Tracy M.

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two sizes and in three colors).

    19. Some hanging acrylic window shelves that'll triple (or quadruple, or quintuple) your available windowsill space so you have ample room to grow herbs, show off your plants, and display all your favorite knickknacks.

    Beautiful Views is a Pickens, South Carolina-based Etsy shop that's been making their transparent window gardens since 2013.

    Kitchens (especially small ones) are tough to decorate since you need every square inch to be functional, instead of decorative. I installed this recently in my kitchen window and it made such a big difference to have extra space to add a little extra personalization (and start our herb garden!). You select what mounting hardware you want included at checkout, and the shelves come with a pamphlet with really easy to understand, step-by-step directions (with pictures!). I'm in love with my new shelves and definitely recommend this all-star seller. 

    Get it from Beautiful Views on Etsy for $66.60+ (available in three sizes and in five mounting styles). 

    20. A patented pet hair remover if you love everything about your home except for how hard it is to manage Fido's constant shedding. This lightweight roller uses bristles, not sticky tape, to catch lint, meaning you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again.

    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.

    21. 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 five sizes).

    22. Plus, a luxe peel-and-stick tile backsplash so you can upgrade that charming shade of "eggshell" on your kitchen walls even if you rent.

    Each tile square is 12" x 12" so measure your space accordingly before ordering! My cousin actually used these same tiles for her recent kitchen remodel and I was *shook* when I learned they were stick-on. Looks fantastic in-person!

    Promising review: "Totally changed the look of my kitchen. Used it to cover ugly blue tiles on my rented house. Did not need any sort of spray adhesive (would only need if you're sticking it to a nonsmooth surface). Super easy to apply, and the seems are unnoticeable." —Amazon Customer

    Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $29.99.

    23. A small rechargeable bedside lamp because your one-way ticket to better home vibes is a little touch-enabled mood lighting.

    Reviewer tapping the light to change its colors

    Promising review: "I was so happy with the first one I bought that I purchased another shortly afterward. In addition to several levels of brightness for regular light, you can select one of several colors for mood/night lighting. You change your lighting selection with a simple finger tap on the top of the lamp. To turn on/off, just press lightly for a couple of seconds. The light is USB powered (most newer nightstands/tables have a USB port), and the battery lasts a long time. You get a lot of light for your money — I strongly recommend this product." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in two sizes).

    24. Or a twinkling string light curtain to instantly turn any room or patio space into a cozy oasis with a whoping 300 LED lights and eight lighting modes for achieving the exact perfect mood for the moment. 

    Diffuse the lights with chiffon curtains to really up your home's hygge factor.

    Promising review: "I bought this product to liven up my apartment, and I love it! It arrived quickly and was easy to set up. The only issue I have was that the cord for the plug is WAY too short, I had to buy a cord extender so I could plug it in. But the lights are very soft, not too bright. Perfect! There are many different settings too for the lights to glow, or blink in. Definitely a bang for your buck.👌🏽" —Chloe

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in five colors)

    25. A gold metal moon phase garland that's so balanced and serene you'll be ~over the moon~ every time it catches your eye.

    Promising review: "I am absolutely in love with this statement piece! The moons are so well crafted and the metal doesn't feel cheap. The packaging was so cute I want to keep it. Even came with a cute little care card. Perfect to help brighten up any room in your house!" —Roriann

    My Farmhouse Essential is a Winder, Georgia-based Etsy shop creating functional wooden home decor with a farmhouse feel. 

    Promising review: "Fits the crate perfectly, doesn’t slide around but easy to move when needed. It changes the entire dynamic of the room. Previously I had a metal crate sticking out like a sore thumb. Now I have a beautiful piece of furniture at a very small cost. It also arrived quickly. Very pleased with it and I’ve ordered a second one for a smaller crate." —Alicia Staton 

    Get it from My Farmhouse Essential on Etsy for $24.49+ (available in seven sizes and in 11 finishes). 

    28. A 5-foot wooden blanket ladder so your not-in-use throw blankets can stop feeling like clutter and start feeling like compliment-inducing decor. 

    Promising review: "I was absolutely blown away by the quality of this product. The price was great, it's a unique and very functional design, it shipped quickly, it was a joy to open, it was easy peasy to put together, and it looks beautiful. I purchased mine to use my walk-in closet to throw clothes on when they are not dirty but I don’t feel like putting them away, and also for sweaters that can’t be hung and I wear too often to fold. This may have been my favorite Amazon purchase ever." —Roxanne

    29. A bundle of Monstera leaves because every room, even your windowless loo, can benefit from a quick hit of Insta-worthy greenery that won't wilt and die on ya.

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    30. An easy-to-install hummingbird feeder to turn any perfectly average window into a full-on bird observatory with 100% free admission and complimentary snacks (from your own kitchen).

    a reviewer photo of a hummingbird feeding from a feeder stuck to the window

    Promising review: "This hummingbird feeder is made with large powerful suction cups so I have no concerns that the feeder will fall. The nectar is close to the feeding holes so the birds have no trouble feeding. I also like that it's very easy to see that the birds have been feeding, even when you don't catch them in the act because the nectar levels are clearly visible. It's very easy to empty, clean and refill. I tried two other feeders from other manufacturers, and found problems with both, but this one is a keeper!" —Amazon Customer 

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in two materials).

    31. An at-home projection set including a 100-inch screen and a mini projector that'll give your living room or backyard enviable movie theater vibes.

    The home projector includes multiple ports (HDMI, USB, VGA, AV, TF, and Audio output) for widespread device compatibility. It also has built-in speakers, but can easily be hooked up to other external speakers or a soundbar.

    Promising review: "We got this for my boyfriend's birthday so we could watch movies on our patio and it did not disappoint. The sound is a little quiet but there are cords already included to connect a soundbar or speaker to increase the output. I was really surprised by how easy it was to set it up and got the perfect picture on my first try. I really like how we could just plug our Amazon Fire Stick into it and get going. The screen was super easy to put up and down and even included command-like strips for the perfect picture. We are really excited to continue using this!!" —Amy Donar

    Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in two sizes).
