1. Wood polish and conditioner to revive all sorts of heirloom and sidewalk finds so you can bring your great-grandmother's rocking chair back to fighting condition for the nursery. You're going to start scouting out projects to tackle with this potion!
2. A humidifier that may seriously help your stuffy nasal passages and dry winter skin woes. Buy one for your bedroom AT LEAST but you'll thank yourself for buying one for your living area too. Just think of that harsh indoor heat!
3. A shower curtain liner with storage pockets and double-hook curtain hooks for a streamlined bathing experience. Yup, this is my shower and since I took these pics I've easily swapped in two different shower curtains thanks to these hooks!
4. Foaming garbage disposer tablets to bring up all the gunk so you don't have to. It's gonna get GROSS but you can get through it to the much cleaner side.
5. A water mark removing cloth that could also do wonders on the nail polish remover you dribbled down your nightstand two years ago that's been a running "project for next weekend" for the past two years.
6. A slim cutlery organizer here to prove that, yes! You do have room for all your cutlery in your tiny kitchen drawer! Scoot over, forks.
7. A purr-fect coffee spoon that'll post up on the side of your mug once you've mixed in all the good stuff.

10. A jetted tub cleaner that'll make you gag with delight once you run it through your system and all the pipe filth emerges like some Ghostbusters sludge. Oh, and it's septic-safe.
11. A faux cowhide rug to zhuzh up a corner of your home that's needed a little something for a while you haven't quite put your finger on it 'til now.
12. An tea press and tumbler that's dishwasher-safe and will fit in most fridge doors so you can have some none-coffee caffeine at the ready.
13. A scratchy lil' tool to FINALLY get all the pet hair off your fabric surfaces both inside your house and car. You'll wonder how you lived without it up until now.
14. Fishing rod organizers for your garage door because you can never seem to keep them in one place out of harm. (It sounds like a weird idea, but it totally works!)
15. A scratch-off world map that'll be a pretty reminder of your past travels and how staying inside not spending money will make your future travels even more spectacular!
16. An all-season comforter made of down alternative that is ACTUALLY MACHINE-WASHABLE. Seriously, leave the bedding and home goods that require dry cleaning in 2020. And it's reversible, so you can get a lil' versatile with your bedding scheme.
17. An Instant Pot 7-in-1 multicooker you'll be so sad you were sleeping on this whole time once you realize that this could be the biggest lazy-enabler in your kitchen since pizza delivery. And that's a good thing! (Yes, I believe even Martha uses one secretly.)
18. A silicone sink strainer that can make ridding it of tiny food particles easy as pie so you aren't awkwardly standing over your trash can raking them out of your OG metal strainer like a masked killer in a movie. I bought one of these and it truly is game-changing.

23. An unassuming wall-mounted broom organizer that'll become your cleaning station with five spots for long-handed tools and six hooks to help corral product bottles.
24. A really good steam mop — it can help kill up to 99.9% of germs on household surfaces like wood, tile, marble, and linoleum. So that *should* cover a good amount for ya'.
25. A set of reusable coffee pods you can fill with your favorite ground brew and then toss in your K-cup machine like normal. This'll put a halt to tons of plastic pod waste, both for the environment and your fam's monthly budget.
26. A luxe-looking futon no one will realize is a futon, unlike that metal monster you've been using as extra seating in the TV room. Blech.
27. A v good air mattress so you'll have something squishy to sleep on (instead of the couch or floor) when your in-laws visit for a week at a time.
28. An exterior trash can holder in case you're tired of 1) carting your patio trash back inside or 2) staring at an ugly trash can that does anything but look nice with your patio dining set.

33. A marble-print desk in a much-easier-to-clean PVC laminated particleboard because maybe it's time you stop balancing your laptop on your lap on the couch. Just because it's *called* that doesn't mean that you have to park it there.
34. A tea bag organizer so you can finally reclaim your cabinet space from the miscellaneous tea boxes you forget you had until you need that ONE spice that also lives in the same cabinet.
35. Wool dryer balls you can toss in the dryer instead of chemical-coated dryer sheets that, psssst, leave behind buildup on the inside of your dryer and thus makes it less effective over time.
36. Satin pillow cases that I own and love! They'll become an essential for anyone who sleeps hot and/or wants to keep their hair and skin moisturized. Soooooo, everyone?
37. A neon light to add in some major pizazz to your living room setup.
38. A hybrid mattress as an extremely comfy compromise if your partner swears they need springs and you want adaptive foam. Turns out, you can have both!
39. A heavy-duty Command hook that'll hold your step stool in place because you're tired of having to scoot it out of the way every time you have to get at something else in your closet. (I do this every single time and need this for my step stool!)

43. Fridge bin liners that'll absorb extra moisture in an effort to keep your produce fresher for longer. PLUS, they'll catch the brunt of messy spills and will be so much easier to clean than taking a drawer out of the fridge and awkwardly scrubbing it down in your sink. I've done that before and it's not great!
44. A foot massager you'll start using on the reg while you park on the couch and catch up on your stories after a long hard day sending tons of emails.
45. Some really good bath towels because it's way more affordable to invest in these and feel like you're getting the spa treatment than actually paying to go to a spa.
46. A floor lamp to help you light up your preferred reading corner. Tiny lights you can clamp onto your book help, but this'll be drastically better!
47. A phone soap sanitizer (and charger!) to park on your beside table so when you dock your fave gadget for the night so it can wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day too.
48. A Dyson stick vacuum that'll be so effective you may even *want* to clean. And this comes from me, a person who owns one, hates to clean, but takes joy in using it every single day. Weirder things have happened!
49. And a bidet attachment for your toilet because you could cut down on your toilet paper usage AND — not to be gross — but your butt does a lot for you. This is an easy way to treat it!
50. A bottle of deep stain- and odor-removing "Carpet Miracle" shampoo solution so darn effective at tackling pet stains, ingrained dirt and grime, and food stains both old and new that you'll be able to erase all evidence of carpet shenanigans.

Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy

51. Plus a compatible Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner that has a *MAJOR* fan following of parents and pet owners — this compact, super portable powerhouse is a true (and affordable) investment in never having to replace your carpets. It uses warm water and a special formula to make stains from grass, mud, pet accidents, food, and all your other home-related shenanigans look like they never even happened.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising review: "After the purchase of this device, we have definitely become a Bissel household! It is very easy to set up, and get running! It’s incredibly efficient and versatile! I have used it on my carpets and on my couch, and I can say that they’re the most clean they have ever been! I would recommend this device to anyone with pets or with young children! The only thing to be wary of is the fact that the clean water container can leak slightly when reattaching it to the machine itself, but once it is secure, you won’t have this issue. If you are refilling the clean water tank, be sure to flip it OVER A SINK to avoid a spill on the floor. Once the initial drip happens, it’s ready for transport. I couldn’t be more fond of it! A great purchase for the price!" —Aut
Get it from Amazon for $109.99.

Promising reviews: "Bought this topper for a last-minute guest staying over the holidays for a mattress that was extremely uncomfortable (bad choice purchase) and this was literally like sleeping on a cloud. It cradles your body. I have chronic back pain and this was more comfortable than the $3,000 Tempur-Pedic mattress. I'm planning to buy more for the kids' rooms. Excellent product." —Brent Financial Group, LLC
"Have a Sleep Number bed that's 4-years-old and for the last six months have woken up with lower back ache every morning! Nothing seemed to help. Received this and a miracle....no more backache. Highly recommend. Does not move on mattress and high quality at a great price!" —Mary Kate

60. A cute tissue box cover because the secret to having a cool-looking home is turning even the most boring household items into something fun to look at! Plus, you'll wanna keep this box stocked at all times because of how fun it is to pull tissues out of the chimney.
Here's why I love these:
"I, an adult woman, cannot remember the last time I bought a box of tissues for my home (though I have several purse packs?!). It may have been when I most recently had a sinus infection, which I guess was two-plus years ago. But now that I’m playing house as a grown-ass person in an apartment to myself, I’m trying to be *responsible*. So obviously buying this whimsical tissue box cover we’ve featured in a million BuzzFeed shopping posts is peak adulting.
Perhaps the reason I’ve been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just look...kind of ugly out in the open. But not with this lil’ cover! Now it’s a ~design element~ that I’ll hopefully remember to keep full. For now, it’s filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment’s closet while packing; it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now. But I can live with that. And with my not-snotty nose."
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
61. An ornate, arched mirror — it'll add a baroque vibe to your space (and selfies) if you're looking for a little more drama and elegance in your life. Plus, lots of reviewers say it looks *way* more expensive than it is.
Promising review: "Bought the bronze color, and it is just beautiful. It's weighty and looks of good quality and workmanship but is not so heavy that it’s hard to work with if you want to lean it or hang it. This mirror is quality and has a lot better price. Move over, Primrose. I love it!" —Joni Bell
Get it from Amazon for $106.99+ (available in six sizes and colors).

63. A soft fluffy rug that's a gift for your eyes *and* your feet. It comes in six colors and sizes so you can find the one that perfectly fits your space.
Promising review: "This rug is one of the softest rugs I've ever felt! Everyone that walks on it while talking thus far has seriously stopped mid-sentence and immediately started the 'Ooh' and 'Ahh' reaction or instantly laid down on it! 10/10 initial impression! Great price for an amazing rug!!" —ToriTay
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in seven sizes and 10 colors).
