    2. Keep your TV looking its best with a screen-cleaning kit — the amount of filth hanging out on your TV, phone, and computer screens is probably really out of control — really, really out of control.

    5. And if you need a way to hang your gallery wall, get a pack of Command picture hanging strips that'll aid you in hanging your ever-growing art collection without digging any holes into your walls.

    6. Or get an all-in-one Hang-O-Matic picture hanging tool so anything you decide to put on your walls is totally level — and you don't have to do the walk of shame back to your walls to drill a second set of holes.
