    1. A hand crank extension cord winder you'll cherish for all the times it'll save you from tripping over rogue wires.

    2. A 44-piece drawer organizer, so every nut, bolt, screw, or washer will always have a designated home.

    3. A critter catcher you can use to safely trap and remove any unwanted creature that wanders into your garage. Added bonus? You MIGHT stop screaming bloody murder and running for higher ground when you see a spider.

    4. A magnetic mesh screen to help you keep bugs and other pests from trespassing while you're enjoying some much-needed me time in the garage.

    5. A WiFi extender you'll pat yourself on the back for purchasing when you get a mental block while building that squirrel picnic table and want to pull up a YouTube video for assistance.

    6. A universal rubber garage door bottom that'll replace the ripped up, damaged one that probably came with your house.

    7. An infrared heater, in case you find yourself doing most of your handiwork in the colder months and you're tired of your fingers freezing.

    8. LED garage lights so you can easily find that screw you just dropped without having a toddler-like tantrum.

    9. Or mountable industrial lighting that'll literally become the *light* of your life when you see how much brighter they make your garage workspace.
