    48 Easy Bathroom Upgrades That Don’t Require Calling A Plumber Or Contractor

    You don't have to put up with a hideous vanity countertop. We've got options.

    1. A faucet extender so the smallest members of your household will finally be able to wash their hands without a major lift.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I wish I had bought this sooner! Fit great, easy to use for all ages, and very convenient if you have little people wanting to wash their hands 👍🏼. Would buy again, every time." —Choca

    Get two from Amazon for $11.99.

    2. An over-the-toilet shelving unit for those bathrooms where the only place your storage can go is up, up, UP. 

    Promising review: "Counter space is limited, and I ran out of storage space. This shelving unit is free-standing and holds many items. I am so pleased with it! I can’t imagine not having it! No more cramming everything in only two drawers and no messy counter!" —Shala Ooton

    Get it from Amazon for $77.99+ (available in six finishes and three configurations).

    3. A large capacity rotating makeup organizer could make you realize that, uh, you don't need to drop by Sephora tomorrow afternoon after all. You have become the Sephora.

    Promising review: "This thing has saved my life. I did not realize how messy I was until I got this and started using it. No more random creams or toothbrushes lying on my counter. If it doesn’t have a space on this caddy, I put it away in drawers. This has really helped me keep my skincare routine since everything is right there and organized! Pay attention to the instructions, as you really need to put the rubber bands on correctly. I loved that I could adjust the shelves to fit tall and short items! Game changer as most items similar have stock sizes that cannot be modified to fit varying sized items." —Allycat

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99

    4. A drawer organizer set can let you Lego-fit all the containers into your drawer so you can have the bathroom drawer or junk drawer of your Instagram dreams.

    The same reviewer's cluttered toiletries looking neatly organized in storage bins

    Promising review: "My desk drawer was always messy no matter how many times I tidied it. These keep things in their place nicely. I recommend." —RoseannB916

    Get it from Amazon for $12.96.

    5. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of gross, stuck-on situations like that bathroom floor grout you came to terms with being dirty gray forever. 

    Promising review: "Amazing. This grout has been disgusting for years and I haven't had any luck with any other cleaners to get it clean again. I'm amazed at how easy Pink Stuff worked. I just used a scrub brush and very little elbow grease." —Lauren

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    6. 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!

    A tiled bathroom floor with white grout from the pen and brown grout on parts not yet marked
    The same bathroom floor with completely white grout between the tiles

    I've used this on my own bathroom floor, which has a more complicated hexagon pattern, so it took a bit of time. But I just listened to an episode or two of a podcast and got to work! I recommend doing two coats.

    Promising review: "We moved into our new home, and the shower had a really yellow grout. Cleaning didn’t do anything, and I saw this grout pen online. What a saver! Otherwise, I would have just hired someone to replace my shower. I used this grout pen, and my husband was so impressed :D The tip loses its shape fast, but just pull out the TIP AND FLIPPED IT OVER, and you’ll have a new tip." —jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

    7. A mold and mildew removal gel that'll turn back time on your shower surround in a mere six hours. (Can't wait for Cher to drop that remix.) 

    Promising review: "It’s a little hard to squeeze but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn’t caulk or seal them properly and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" —Brooklyn Nguyen

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    8. Interlocking teak tiles made for covering up outdoor surfaces BUT make a spa-like bathroom floor that you can pick up and take with you when your lease ends.

    Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

    Promising review: "Living in Hawaii you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc... In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adazzle

    Get 10 sq. ft from Amazon for $77.99.

    9. An automatic bleach toilet cleaning system, because you can't enjoy the first Saw film without thinking about cleaning. This gadget will send cleaner into your bowl with each flush!

    It's super quick to install, and one cartridge can last up to three months!

    Promising review: "This system not only keeps my toilet bowl clean but also halts toilet odors. I originally purchased the bleach system for my master bathroom, but I will be ordering these for the other two bathroom rooms as well. There is no odor from the product, but it certainly eliminates toilet odor." —adorse

    Get it from Amazon for $9.97.

    10. Plus, a Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp as an in-the-bowl solution that'll help keep things spic 'n' span for ya.

    Check out a TikTok of the Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to see it in action! 

    Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet

    Get it from Amazon for $4.37

    11. 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.

    Promising review: "I used this adhesive film to turn two cheap Ikea tables into less-cheap-looking Ikea tables because I'm not made of money, but I would like others to believe I am. Super simple to use and you get a ton of it for the price. I was really pleased overall. The pattern actually looks like marble, not a weird pixely repetitive pattern, so that's great as well. Also it was delivered same day which was miraculous as my DIY initiative tends to fade approximately 48 hours after I discover a project I want to do." —Spencer House

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    12. Or some faux marble tile to put to work in your bathroom (as this reviewer did) for a snazzy tile effect. 

    Just make sure you avoid the actual sink, as these are flexible and humidity-resistant but not waterproof. 

    Promising review: "Really made my bathroom stand out, and it was super easy to apply. Adhesive seems very strong. I recommend making sure everything is lined up before pressing down firmly. Once it's down, it's hard to peel back off." —Andy

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    13. A pumice stone that'll scrub away hard water marks and you should most definitely label as "TOILET" so people don't use it on their feet(!!!!).

    Promising review: "We rented a home and the toilets were disgusting. Someone suggested a pumice stone and let me tell you it was amazing!! The picture is after just five minutes with the stone. I tried bleach, every toilet bowl cleaner available, and countless hours of scrubbing to no avail...but this stone worked instantly! I will be buying several more!! The stone does dissolve when scrubbing so you need a couple. I was able to do almost two toilets completely that looked awful with one stone!!" —CristaCross

    Get it from Amazon for $11.20.

    14. And in case the situation is a bit more dire, a toilet wand cleaning system with removable heads so you'll stop regretting your decision to potty train your cats.

    Includes a wand, storage caddy, and six disinfecting wand head refills.

    Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and built up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before and after pic attached." —Whitney

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99.

    15. 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.

    reviewer pic of scratched up cabinet
    reviewer pic of refreshed cabinet

    Promising review: "My bathroom cabinets had a lot of wear from the steam from showers and baths. I want to replace them but decided I would try this first. It’s very easy to apply, wait 20 minutes, then wipe off the excess. Filled in the places where the varnish was gone and showing raw wood and brightened up the finish. Looks much, much better for an easy and cheap fix. Very pleased with this product." —Dog Lovers

    Get it from Amazon for $8.98.

    16. 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.

    reviewer's pic of light wood nightstand with white stain drips down the front
    same reviewer's after pic with the stain drips gone thanks to the water stain cloth

    Promising review: "This got all the old watermarks off of my bathroom sink. I tried everything and none worked except for this." —k1m

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    17. An expandable under-sink kit will fit around awkward pipes in the bathroom while giving some sturdy ground to those bottles of cleaner and rolls of toilet paper. No more cabinet avalanches!

    reviewer's pic of under bathroom sink with jumble of cleaning products
    the same under the sink now organized with a shelving unit

    Promising review: "Great product for a great price. Very sturdy, but lightweight and small — under my bathroom sink is *very* small, and the metal frame is thin enough that it doesn't take up much space, and of course, it allows me to utilize the empty vertical space instead of shoving things all the way to the back wall. I might rearrange the shelves, but it's just held with screws on each end, so that's easy enough to do. It comes with two supports for two shelves, but you can choose from four heights/positions. 👍🏻 Might need to order a second for under the kitchen sink..." —Jennifer Mowry

    Get it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in two finishes).

    18. A targeted cleaner that has a commercial-strength formula to cut through the mess to annihilate tough soap scum on shower doors, tub bottoms, sinks, whatever.

    filthy bathtub floor
    clean bathtub floor

    Promising review: "Sharing our nasty before picture so you can really see the difference! Our tub/shower has a grippy bottom, and scum and dirt cakes on there so easily. The only way I've been able to get it off before was literally scraping it inch by inch. I've spent hours, and all it ever got was somewhat clean — never enough to want to take a real bath. This stuff is expensive but with the good reviews I decided to try it, it works amazingly!! I sprayed it on (it came with a great spray nozzle and a lid) and left it for about 15–20 minutes. Then I took a brush with hard plastic bristles (I believe a soft brush would have even worked), and with less than 20 minutes of scrubbing the entire tub and walls, it was cleaner than when we moved in. The grime and scum almost melted off. It smells pleasant, it's not crazy strong smelling, but in an enclosed space, I still felt the need to wear a mask while cleaning." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.88.

    19. An ~intense~ grout cleaner — it can bring blackened grout back from the disgusting brink because you shouldn't want to wear shoes in the bathroom.

    tile floor with dark brown grout
    tile floor with light beige clean grout

    Promising review: "I never thought I'd be able to clean my grout out again without hiring someone professional to do it! But this cleaner did the wonder!!! I used it with my steam cleaner, and here are the before and after pictures! I dry-brushed it before I used the steam cleaner, and I saw all the dirt getting out! It really works! It was hard work, though, if I ever get a bigger house, I might just hire someone to do it." —Chen

    Get it from Amazon for $19.98.

    20. A holy grail soft cleanser to help you *easily* erase all those gray and rusty stains on household surfaces you came to terms with years ago. They aren't paying rent, so give 'em the boot!

    FYI, this is the pre-mixed version (which saves you a bit of time). But you can also try the original powder version. To understand just *how* versatile this product is, check out our review of Bar Keepers Friend and prepare to be amazed!

    Promising review: "I’m now a permanent customer. I’ve used CLR, Clorox bowl cleaners, and others but this is my favorite. I used a small broom to clean my tubs and tile (as I usually do) even though instructions said to use a sponge; it dried my hands pretty bad (please use gloves). So I used the broom instead and it worked pretty well. I would recommend. I even tried it on my stove and it worked like a charm." —Itzel A.

    Get two 13 oz. bottles from Amazon for $15.90.

    21. A mold and mildew remover that'll work its magic on gross grout stains while you kick back and catch up on your stories.

    tiled shower with mold on grout
    same shoer with mold almost completely gone

    I am literally describing my life. Yep, it even works on pesky pink grout stains! My mom turned me onto this stuff in college, and I've used it since.

    Promising review: "Nothing removes mold and mildew from my shower like Tilex. I'm not the best Suzy Homemaker, so my shower can get kinda gross looking. I used the Tilex and my shower was noticeably cleaner after just soaking in the spray for a few minutes. I then scrubbed a bit, and even better! Now to get a smaller brush so that I can scrub the bottom better." —Mteren

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.

    22. A rust-removing spray will work like a magic trick 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.

    the same shower that's clean and new looking

    Promising review: "Used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks and shower. Compared it to the It Works Bathroom you can get at The Dollar Tree. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of the It Works. I will buy this again, hands down. I tried the powder, which was good for scrubbing and soaking the tub, but the spray was fantastic for the shower and sink. Just sprayed, walk away for a few minutes and wipe/rinse." —Carrie D.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.84.

    23. An over-the-door cabinet organizer so you won't have to stare at a pile of hairstyling tools every time you go to brush your teeth. You'll be locating your hair dryer in record time!

    Reviewer's before picture of hair tools in one messy pile
    Reviewer's after picture of everything now organized

    Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before all my items were in a drawer and the cords were a pain, but with this metal basket it minimized clutter, keeps things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow-dryers, a flat iron, and curling wand. The bars are adjustable, as well (just use the twisties it came with to secure them in place). Worth the buy!" —Alyssa Jewell

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in seven finishes).

    24. A set of reusable dispenser bottles (with nice labels!) that are similar to some outrageously expensive toiletries you've probably seen in a fancy restaurant bathroom.

    Promising review: "I love these bottles. They make everything uniform and high-end looking for a fraction of the price. They hold up amazing. I bought another set for my second bathroom." —Cindy

    Get it from Amazon for $27.20+ (available with or without the wall mounts).

    25. 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.

    26. 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.

    writer's pic of inside a shower with the mesh shower curtain pockets visible
    Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed

    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.

    27. 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.

    Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed

    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.

    28. A space-saving suction cup shower caddy with angled shelves to 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.)

    Promising review: "I love the Shower Gem. I have four in my shower and the work great! Everything has a place and when it needs cleaning I just put them in the dishwasher. I would recommend it to everyone!" —pam griffith

    Get it from Amazon for $44.99.

    29. 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.

    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 combos) or Amazon for $109.99 (available in nine color combos).

    30. An over-the-tank holder with enough room to hold supersized rolls.

    Amazon

    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 $12.99 (available in two finishes).

    31. 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.

    Promising review: "Very well made, easy to assemble. Fit over my door perfectly. Every piece of towel holder went together great. Very sturdy when mounted, exactly the perfect size." —Leslie A. Deem

    Get it from Amazon for $20.01+ (available in three finishes).

    32. 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.

    reviewer's towel rack holding six grey towels

    33. A do-it-all toothbrush holder and dispenser that'll free up some SERIOUS countertop space. It keeps things super tidy without taking up much wall space.

    This game changer includes a toothpaste dispenser, four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.

    Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, cotton swabs, or flossers." —Sariyah J

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in three colors).

    34. 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.

    Amazon

    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.

    35. A bundle of fresh eucalyptus you can hang up in your shower to provide some luxe-feeling aromatherapy when it teams up with your shower steam. Also it just LOOKS nice.

    Eucalyptus Blooms / Etsy

    It's put together and sold by Eucalyptus Blooms, a small woman-owned shop based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

    Promising review: "Exceeded my expectations!!! I received my bundle quickly, and it was packaged well. Very fragrant and I appreciated the hook that was included with the bundle to hang it right in my shower. I am definitely enjoying the aroma of eucalyptus as I shower." —Mcjunkinst

    Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms for $11.06+ (available in four sizes).

    36. 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.

    handle stuck to tub
    Amazon

    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. I would 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 move at any time!" —Kokomo Mike

    Get it from Amazon for $10.85 (available in three styles).

    37. A bamboo bath caddy tray can hold onto your other me-time essentials like candles and a good book you've been putting off far too long.

    Promising review: "My husband works from home and does a LOT of work from the bathtub (lucky him!). This fits his mug of tea, cellphone, and laptop perfectly! I was worried because our tub is attached to the wall and there is not a lot of tub edge on the wall side, but this fits very securely. He even has room for a book on one side. There is a removable tray for you to lay your cell or a book in. It also looks very stylish." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in six colors).

    38. A fog-free shaving mirror that'll easily hang up in the shower with a stick-on hook!

    Amanda / Amazon / Via www.amazon.com, Amazon Customer / Amazon / Via www.amazon.com

    FYI, it installs like a regular outlet cover. Of course except with the wonderful shelf. Can also be installed so the shelf is below the outlet.

    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). And check out a larger outlet shelf.

    40. 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.

    Promising review: "These shelves are so beautiful! My bathroom doesn't have a counter around the sink, so this is perfect. It is modern and sleek, and the wood and cast iron shelves are VERY well-built and sturdy. I was surprised that these are so high quality considering the price." —Vincent

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors).

    41. 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!

    Promising review: "Perfect! They were exactly what I was going for! Great quality, very durable, and actually have some weight to them. Great purchase for replacing all of the hardware in my kitchen and bathroom for the camper I am remodeling. Definitely would recommend, especially at such an amazing price. Great value for great quality!" —Summertime

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in quantities one through 60 and in black, gold, or silver).

    42. A clothespin towel holder in case you won't settle for a regular old towel rack (and that is completely FINE).

    Get it from Barwood Shop on Etsy for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and six wood finishes).

    43. curved shower attachment that shoots out water in a narrow, contoured spray so you can really get into your pup's thick coat and effectively wash away the poop they had so much fun rolling around in when you let them outside earlier. 🙃

    Promising review: "I wish I purchased this sooner. I have a very hairy double-coated dog, and this gets ALL the shampoo out of his fur. The flow is adjustable, and he will let me spray the top of his head, which he won't let me do with the dog shower attachment at our apartment dog bathing station. The hose is long enough so I can get completely under his belly. I also use this wand to clean the shower walls. I have tried other styles and brands, and this is the best dog shower attachment I have ever purchased. Very easy to install, and it looks nice and sleek in the bathroom."Heather

    Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two styles that offer different GPM).

    44. 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 $12.50.

    45. Rubbermaid power scrubbing brush to help get into those hard-to-reach spots you've been ignoring awhile, like the grout around your toilet. (I shan't tell.)

    Promising review: "You need one. Seriously. Saw this brush multiple times on TIkTok. It sold me. When I got it, I went into clean mode and the darn thing is just amazing. You'll love it. It's so sturdy and works very well." —Kristin Haadsma

    ICYMI, this product first became famous when it appeared on Shark Tank. And people at BuzzFeed adore it. Check out our review of the Squatty Potty. Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic.

    If you're thinking "THIS MUCH FOR A POOP STOOL?!" then no problem. There are *much cheaper* versions, like the original for $24.99 (three colors) or a nice teak version for $53.63.

    47. A container of touch-up paint to help cover up all those chips and marks that seem to follow you around the room like one of those portraits where the eyes look straight forward.

    Promising review: "Rather than ditching furniture into a landfill, which is bad for the environment and one's pocketbook, this product allows you to give new life to existing furniture. Between the Soto touchup and new handles, my entertainment center looks like new....for less than $35. If you can use liquid paper, you can use this. I just ordered another bottle for porcelain. This is a fantastic product. You will love it!" —LexiNYC

    Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in eight colors).

    48. 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 $22.99.
