1. A set of reusable dispenser bottles (with nice labels!) that are dupes for some outrageously expensive toiletries you've probably seen in a fancy restaurant bathroom.
2. Or a set of stainless-steel and glass soap dispensers in case your bathroom decor store is a lil' more light and airy.
Promising review: "I purchased these to use as shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash dispensers. I wanted our shower to look like a spa! They are great quality and many people I know have copied our idea, so they are a hit! Very high quality, the plunger part is always the most important part. These are metal and not plastic, something that seems to be hard to find when looking for dispensers." —Rebecca Morea
Get set of two from Amazon for $14.99.
3. A shower curtain liner with mesh storage pockets I love and will buy for as long as it's a thing I can buy. Maybe you'll feel the same way too once you realize you can stash SO MANY things in it.
Yep, you're looking at my shower! I upgraded from a corner tension rod caddy and never want to go back. The mesh pockets drain water so your liner won't get all icky. And they make it easy to tell the difference between the minimalist packaging for your face wash and shave cream when it's way too early in the morning. Read my ~full review~ (#2) to learn more about why I'm in love with an object that can't love me back.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
4. And double shower curtain hooks for the simplest of switches to make you wonder how the heck you weren't using these before! Now you can throw back that shower curtain in the morning with zero snags.
That was me. I detest loop shower rings because they're such a hassle when you're swapping out a shower liner or taking down your shower curtain to wash it. Yep, these are my shower hooks and they're sturdy enough to stay balanced when you switch out the liner or shower curtain.
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
5. Plus a curved shower curtain rod so you don't have to worry about the shower liner creepily touching you while you're just trying to get clean. This is one of the pricier things on this list but it'll help you feel like you have a bigger shower for less than $50.
Promising review: "Much to like about this. Its curved structure gives significant amount of space and elbow room inside the shower. It is firmly attached to the wall at both ends with screws — so it will not move or slide down like tension/spring loaded rods. Gorgeous bronze finish. Recommend using plastic shower curtain rings versus metal ones in order to keep the bronze finish from getting scratched. Also found that the plastic rings are much lighter, making it noticeably easier to open and close the shower curtain." —JumboJim
Get it from Lowe's for $44.98+ (available in three finishes).
6. A copy of A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing but Using the Bathroom as an Escape as a resource for you (or other people) using the toilet as a social escape. Sometimes you just need some time to yourself. And this book acknowledges and honors that.
7. A under-sink expandable organizer — it'll help you fit in all the essentials in an orderly fashion.
Promising review: "I moved again and needed to have a more organized bathroom cabinet. My OCD prevented me from just letting go and being messy. Anyhoo, I love this shelving unit! Very easy to put together and install. Remember to assemble the bottom bars first, then one of the top bars. Measure and gauge the unit in the cabinet first before assembling the last bar. I had more than enough room for my things after the shelf was placed. I don't have anxiety issues every time I open my cabinet now... Smiles!" —Roxysgarden
Get it from Amazon for $21.73+ (available in two finishes).
8. Shower curtain holders to keep water *inside* the shower instead of all over your bathroom floor.
Promising review: "Thought these would be silly, but they are great. Have a lot of trouble with leakage around my tub when I shower. Tried double liners and magnets but curtain still blows enough to leak onto the floor and from there through the ceiling of the dining room downstairs thanks to an infinitesimal gap between flooring and wall. I was desperate, so I gave these a try. Problem solved. Liner stays tight against the tile and can be freed for cleaning." —D Polsky
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.99.
If you're a renter, it's a good idea to adhere these with water-resistant removable strips instead. Get a four-pack from Amazon for $4.28.
9. A grout pen that's as simple to use as coloring in the lines so you don't have to stare at the stained grout and imagine what it used to look like. Grout takes up a teeny bit of space but, as you can see from the pics, makes a huge impact!
10. A TubShroom for clearing recently departed strands out of your shower drain sooo much faster.
Sorry not sorry, but I'm also obsessed with this product! I have thick, long hair and have lived with other people with a lot of hair. This thing is totally game-changing! If you don't believe me (EVEN THOUGH YOU SHOULD), check out the below:
Promising review: "I have a blue heeler who sheds like a wild beast. Before I had the TubShroom my bathtub would clog every time and I'd have to go buy Drano. Now I don't have to worry about that at all. This thing really does stop all hair, I am so surprised at how awesome this inexpensive product is. I would highly recommend this product to all pet owners or you Bigfoot-type folk." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six colors).
11. And a SinkShroom to magically catch all sorts of stuff before it clogs up your bathroom sink. (Yes I shed into my bathroom sink all the time too.)
Promising review: "We are old and losing hair! Amazed at how much hair was kept from clogging up the drains. I have one in the bathtub drain and one in the sink." —Susanne
Get it from The Grommet for $16.95 (available in two colors).
12. A space-saving suction cup shower caddy with angled shelves will put your products in the right position to get out every last drop, free you from product avalanches, and help you better see which shampoo or conditioner you're using...even if you haven't put in your contacts yet. (Literally me in the shower every morning.)
13. Some self-adhesive film because a bath remodel is not in the stars but you can fake a new countertop on the cheap. All ya need is this and a bit of patience.
14. A bidet attachment that'll make you rue the day you started buying wet wipes in the pursuit of cleanliness instead of installing one of these babes.
Check out BuzzFeed's full Tushy bidet review.
Promising review: "Life changer. No more clogged toilets, plumber visits due to wipes creating issues, endless 'paperwork' sessions...just an all around upgrade that has increased my confidence in my cleanliness no matter how formal or intimate the rest of the day may be!" —Nick S.
Get it from Tushy for $99 (available in 10 color comboss).
15. An over-the-tank holder with enough room to hold supersized rolls.
Please don't make me explain *why* it's good to have a spare roll of toilet paper by your side. Also be sure to measure your toilet tank before you hit Buy because some reviewers say this doesn't fit because they didn't measure before purchase!
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two finishes).
16. 100% bamboo toilet paper in case you feel bad about what you've been using on your behind. Its three plys are sustainably made *and* it's available on a subscription basis so you don't have to worry about running out.
These rolls are made from tree-free, 100% bamboo paper with zero plastic packaging (even the tape!). They're also free of inks, dyes, and BPA. This is a Black-owned business with a model that partners with Soil in Haiti to provide toilets and remove waste from communities. Soil (safely!) treats collected waste and turns it into compost that's sold to support agriculture, reforestation, and climate change mitigation efforts in Haiti.

17. An over-the-door towel rack built with some hooks too so you can put your robe and clothes somewhere that isn't the floor or on top of the toilet.
Get it from Amazon for $20.01+ (available in three finishes).
18. Or a wall-mounted towel rack can hold six rolled-up towels in case the back of your bathroom door is already in use or you're looking to fill up an expanse of empty wall with something useful.
19. Toothpaste squeezers with built-in stands that won't hog too much counter space while you get out every last drop.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.59.

21. Frosted-glass window film to lend some privacy for windows without taking up the space of curtains.
I did this in my own tiny bathroom rather than hang curtains and I have absolutely no regrets.
Get a 17.7"x78.7" roll from Amazon for $10.99.
If you prefer something a little more lively, check out a shimmery version.
22. A toilet paper holder shelf that'll give you a place to put your phone that isn't teetering on the edge of your bathroom sink.
Promising review: "This is a great product! I live in a house where one of us prefers the TP roll stay on the spindle, while the other would rather hold the TP in his hand to unwrap. Now everyone is happy! 😀 The 'cellphone' holder doubles as a great acoustic addition if you are going to place a Bluetooth speaker on the shelf. My music was slappin' as I cleaned the bathroom LOL. I will say this: It's best to have an extension piece for your drill, or a long screwdriver, or installation will take longer than it should." —Constance Mayaki
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
23. An anti-slip shower mat because you don't need another close call thanks to the super-moisturizing hair mask you love that always greases up your tub. Trust me, this has happened several times to me.
This mat is machine washable, antibacterial, and latex, phthalate, and BPA free.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 18 colors).
24. A pumice stone toilet bowl cleaner to remove all sorts of stubborn rings. Just make sure you wet it first!!!
Promising review: "OMG!!! It works!!! After having this toilet buildup, I gave up on everything, but I saw that this product 'worked' and decided to give it a try... With a little elbow grease and some music blasting in the background I managed to remove it all!!! I can’t believe it. I’m so happy, I was so embarrassed when company came over and would see that; not no more...yay!!!" —Asdrubal Orantes
Get it from Amazon for $10.85.
25. A sandalwood all-purpose cleaner concentrate can make your water closet smell like it belongs in a 5-star hotel penthouse suite.
Good Vibes is a Black woman–owned small business run in Philadelphia, PA, that makes an array of plant-based cleaning products. The product itself is very soapy, so be sure to dilute it properly before going to town on all of your surfaces. You can also use it as a laundry booster or spot cleaner for clothes or carpet.
Promising review: "All the Good Vibes products work well, this is my favorite scent. I use it mostly for cleaning bathrooms and the floors throughout my home. It did an amazing job, however, cleaning the outside of a car that hadn't been washed in over a year. Two thumbs up!!" —my favorite
Get it from Good Vibes for $10.
26. A timed safety shutoff plug in case your holy grail hair straightener doesn't have an auto shutoff and you're a tad forgetful.
No more turning the car around because you don't remember unplugging your straightener.
Promising review: "Best ever. I just have to press the button and it auto turns on and shuts off after 30 minutes. I'm constantly forgetting to turn off my hair straightener so this is preventing house fires and saving electricity, yay! I originally was worried 30 minutes is too little time to do my hair and was looking for a one-hour version but it turns out 30 minutes is actually more than enough. And it really isn't that bad if I need another 30 minutes and have to press the button again LOL. I no longer worry about setting my house on fire from leaving on my hair straightener so I highly recommend." —AoiMizuno
Get it from Amazon for $11.59 (available in three timer types).
27. Eucalyptus shower steamers for a relaxing aromatherapy session that might just help relieve a stuffy nose.

Get two from Amazon for $7.59.
29. An easy-install safety grip as an extra hand for getting in and out of the tub when you don't want to commit to a permanent grab bar.
Can be used on tub surfaces and shower walls. Simply press the tab levers to securely attach.
Promising review: "After slipping in the shower on several occasions, it was time to look for some sort of assistance. My initial thought on these suction cup products was, were they really going to be able to hold my 185 lbs. after grabbing them for leverage to help prevent another slip and fall? SHOCKED!! Not only was I shocked at the gripping capacity of these suction cups, but being so simple to move around is a big plus. It took a couple of adjustments to find the perfect spot for me, which would have been a mess using a permanent grab bar. Would and have recommended these to anyone needing that extra help in the shower or anywhere else there's a smooth surface for the suction cups to adhere to. Great for the grandkids too because of the ease at which they can moved at any time!" —Kokomo Mike
Get it from Amazon for $10.85 (available in three styles).
30. A motion-activated toilet light so you won't have to fully disrupt your sleep by turning the overhead light on during a 2 a.m. bathroom trip.
It fits on any toilet bowl, and has 16 colors, five brightness levels, and a 170-degree radius.
Promising review: "At first I thought that the idea of an illuminated toilet bowl was funny. However, given the choice of an illuminated toilet bowl, turning on the light, or missing, an illuminated toilet bowl is a great idea. This unit is much better than the first I used because there are no suction cups (which never stay attached) and it use AA batteries instead of AAA, and it has a five-level dimmer for middle-of-the-night eye comfort." —William D.
Get two from Amazon for $19.99.
31. A portable wine holder to cradle your bath-time bev.
And it will also hold a can of beer!
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in six colors).

33. A hair tools holder that'll help you safely tuck away your things when not in use so cords won't clutter up the floor or countertop.
34. A fog-free shaving mirror can easily hang up in the shower with a stick-on hook!
Get it from Amazon for $12.97.
Also check out a suction-cup mirror.
35. A laundry hamper that'll hang on the back of the door so the dirty piles littering your bathroom floor finally have a designated place to hang out. Plus! It has a zipper at the bottom to make laundry day so much easier.
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in 11 colors).
36. An outlet shelf to create some storage space for an electric toothbrush or electric shaver out of thin air!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this thing! I have much less clutter on my sink thanks to this. If there's anyone not sure if it will fit due to an object, all you need is 1.25 inches of space between the edge of your existing outlet plate and the piece of furniture. I have a GFCI with a standard wall plate." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors).
37. A pack of lemon-scented toilet bombs you simply drop into the towel bowl, wait for it to dissolve, then just give a lil' scrub with your toilet brush.

38. A drawer organizer to help you neatly find all your water closet essentials, even when you're bleary eyed first thing in the morning.
39. A set of wall-mounted floating shelves in case you're puzzled about where to carve out some extra storage. These will do it in such a nice way, even if you're just looking for a spot for your plants and candles.
40. Some black matte-steel cabinet pulls you can easily swap in place of your old, outdated pulls. And don't worry if you're a renter, you can swap them back out when it's time to move!
41. A rust-removing spray to work wonders in neglected showers, minus the elbow grease. Spray it on a rusted surround, leave the room, and come back to diminished stains you can easily wipe away from that otherwise fine shower nobody's wanted to use 'til now.
42. Some wood polish and conditioner anyone can use...even if you're awful at painting! It'll zhuzh up tired bathroom cabinets that are looking dull from wear, tear, and lots o' steamy showers.
43. A rust stain–removing gel to get at the unsightly rust that just so happens to show its ugly face around sink drains. It's haunting you every time you brush your teeth, but it's time to banish it.
44. A wonderful lil' water-mark-removing cloth reviewers say has erased dribbles of nail polish remover, hair dye, and, well, just plain old water stains.
45. A flashy plunger (who knew that was a thing?) in case you don't mind a dose of color in the most practical ways possible. If you have to keep your plunger out in the open, you might as well invest in a cute one.
