    46 Must-Have Products For Anyone Who Just Moved

    Here's to hoping these products will help make the transition into being a homeowner a bit smoother.

    1. A divided hamper that'll keep your lights/darks separate, so you won't have to spend any more time than necessary doing the laundry.

    There's even detachable mesh bags inside so you can scoop your clothes right up and into the washing machine.

    Promising review: "It does its job. It was exactly how it was pictured. It's very well made and makes the bathroom look great. It has a nice flat top to put things on the hamper when it is closed. Unfortunately this hamper does not do laundry or put clothes in itself." —Chris T.

    Get it from Amazon for $51.96 (available in seven colors).

    2. An adjustable stainless-steel shower caddy, so you can neatly store your overflow of products without crowding the edges of your tub.

    I have one of these bad boys and I couldn't be more thrilled with it. My husband was able to adjust it so it's not too tall for me (I'm quite short). My bottles no longer sit in standing water. Simplehuman products never fail to impress me.

    Promising review: "I’m really happy with these. I have one in each shower and they’re great for my particular issues that made normal shower caddies problematic. In one shower we have textured tile and the enclosed adhesive tabs work well for that shower. In the other shower those aren’t needed: the suction works well too! I’m so happy to have these now... I’ve been going crazy with the variety of cheap solutions I’ve tried to employ. Spend the money: soooo worth it!" —Acacia

    Get it from Amazon for $53.57+ (available in four sizes).

    3. Sticky Stakes to trap unwanted pests trying to feed off your plants and buzz annoyingly around your apartment. Toss your fly swatter in the garbage, you won't be needing it anymore.

    There is NOTHING more irritating than gnats or any other tiny insects invading your home. I have these Sticky Stakes in every potted plant I own and they actually really work! Each pack comes with seven traps, so feel free to stock up.

    Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately I added a new house plant, plus repotted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan

    Get them from Amazon for $6.65 (also available in a pack of 12).

    4. A trio of Bar Keeper's Friend products you can count on to help you clean any and every surface of your new living space — trust me on this.

    5. A bamboo burner cover that'll magically add an extra space for chopping up veggies in your kitchen — it'll feel like you *poof* doubled your counter space!

    6. A garage door opener you can control from your phone — no more wondering if you remembered to shut the door after you drove away then panicking about it for the rest of your outing.

    7. A wireless remote kit that'll make turning on holiday lights (or honestly, any lights!) a snap — no fumbling with a bunch of light strands every evening to make your Clark Griswold vision a reality. This gadget is a dream come true.

    8. A washable Ruggable rug, so even if you have a bunch of shedding, drooling, creatures living in your home you can still fill it with stylish decor without worrying about it getting ruined forever.

    My sister, who has three large dogs, just got one of these for her new home and cannot wait to put it to the test! I also put one in my future child's bedroom in hopes I'll be able to clean it when inevitable messes happen.

    Promising review: "I have gotten so many compliments on this rug. It’s stylish and still looks great after I’ve washed it several times. As a pet owner, it’s great to be able to wash muddy paw prints off a rug instead of cleaning the carpets." —Shelley M.

    Get it from Ruggable for $89+ (available in 10 sizes and 4 colors).

    9. A drawer organizer to keep utensils in order so you won't find yourself fumbling through a disaster zone in an attempt to find a serving spoon.

    10. An Always Pan, complete with a nonstick surface, a vented top, a mesh basket for steaming, and a high-quality spoon that hooks onto the handle — you'll basically only ever want to use this pan. My apologies to your current ones.

    11. Felt pot and pan protectors that'll keep your new ones (or old ones!) in tip top shape.

    12. A farmhouse window-inspired mirror, so you can feel like you've moved into Joanna and Chip Gaines' lovely home without having to cover your walls in shiplap.

    13. A turntable that'll help bring music into your living room in an old school (but now super trendy) way while also adding in a conversational piece of decor.

    14. And an acrylic vinyl holder to store some of your favorite records while also showing anyone who sets foot in your living room what great taste in music you have. Excuse me while I go find my copy of John Mayer's Continuum album...

    15. A starter set of spices, because there's a good chance you misplaced (or tossed) all the half-empty ones from your previous home when packing.

    24 small containers of spices

    16. A chic futon that'll look amazing in your living room but also create an extra place for your family members to sleep when they inevitably come visit for a weekend to see your new digs.

    17. A L’or de Seraphine candle in a gorgeous jar that'll serve both as decor and a delightful way to fill your home with a signature scent.

    18. A unique bookshelf to put your favorites on display in a more artful way — finally somewhere appropriate to show off your Jane Austen collection.

    19. A standing weeder (without the chemicals!) for anyone with a bad back who still wants an award-worthy lawn.

    20. A flexible cleaning brush that'll pull all of the hard-to-reach pieces of lint out of your dryer. I truly can't think of anything more satisfying, TBH.

    21. Shelf liner, to provide a nonslip padding inside your cabinets, closets, and drawers so your belongings can be safely stowed away.

    22. Felt pads to place under all of your furniture to ensure you don't immediately scratch the wood floors.

    23. An electric pressure washer you can use to revive hard surfaces like your patio and sidewalk so anyone passing by will only notice how stunning your garden is instead of how dodgy your pathway looks.

    24. A splurge-worthy De'Longhi espresso machine with the capability to make basically any caffeinated beverage your tired little heart desires — a must-have to help you get through all of that unpacking and decorating.

    My parents have always been very straight forward about their coffee, but recently snagged this more upscale machine after their boring old coffee pop conked out on them again. There's definitely going to be a learning curve for them, but they're super excited to step out of their comfort zone and make some delicious other coffee drinks with this cool new machine.

    Promising review: "This coffee maker can make just about any kind of coffee. I’m new to coffee beans. I’m having fun buying and trying different flavors. This maker is hard to get. Everyone is buying it up. It’s almost automatic. Cleans it self constantly." —Chuck Frederick

    Get it from Amazon for $1,484.

    25. And a coffee subscription to Partners Coffee, which will be a gift that'll keep on giving. No worries about suddenly discovering there is no coffee to be had.

    My husband is a coffee connoisseur and is a BIG fan of Partners Coffee. We've been to a variety of the brick and mortar locations and can confirm that the coffee is just as delicious at home as it is made in the coffee shops. My husband will often go out of his way to pick up a bag, so this is definitely something on our to-buy list before our baby arrives. In addition to choosing what kinds of beans you need (based on how you make your coffee), you  can select from 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month subscriptions — worth every penny.

    Get it from Partners Coffee starting at $42 (available in nine flavors and in five bean styles).

    26. A mailbox, in case the one that's currently at your new home has seen better days. Gotta show off for the postman!

    27. And an adorable decal you can pop inside your new mailbox to show your appreciation for the mail carrier — I'm sure they'll enjoy it!

    28. A pack of oven liners to protect the bottom of your oven from the river of cheese that sometimes escapes from your prized casserole.

    29. A garbage guard that'll keep pesky flies and other insects from congregating around your can.

    30. A rechargeable lighter to light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambience without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid.

    31. An end table with soft-close drawers so when you get in an argument with your partner you can very dramatically pretend to slam them without actually doing any damage.

    32. A personalized cutting board that'll look cute on your coffee table but also come in handy when you host your friends for the first time and want to impress with a 10/10 charcuterie board.

    33. A platform bed with built-in storage, in case you need extra room to stow away all of your clothes — your cherished band tees deserve a proper home.

    34. A magnificent toilet cleaning gel stamp from Scrubbing Bubbles, so when you finally get around to thoroughly cleaning your bowl it'll do the heavy lifting until the next time you think to yourself "when was the last time I cleaned this thing?"

    35. A Nest thermostat, which will learn your schedule and the temperatures you prefer. It'll shift into Eco Temperature mode when you leave to conserve energy. It's the convenience of it all for me.

    36. A personalized doormat to make you smile every time you get home after a long day and let the mail delivery person know they are, in fact, at the right house.

    37. A box of washing machine cleaning tablets you can use to easily remove any odor-causing residue from inside the machine you've just inherited.

    38. A bar cart you'll be able to put together faster than it takes you to shake up the perfect cocktail.

    39. A stainless-steel cleaner you can count on to make your appliances so shiny you won't be able to stop staring at your own reflection in them (spoiler: you look GOOD!).

    40. A set of three modern pillow covers to upgrade your couch's style without the stress of shopping around for perfectly coordinated pillows — this set has already done the work for you.

    41. A SinkShroom strainer you won't know how you lived without because it'll keep your kitchen sink unclogged no matter how much gunk you fill it with.

    42. Mid-century cursive house numbers that'll look *so* charming next to your front door — you're bound to get compliments from all of your new neighbors.

    43. Wood floating shelves you'll find super simple to install so instead of wasting time reading instructions you can spend your day deciding what to put on display instead.

    44. A garbage-disposal foaming cleaner to scrub away the stinky grime that previous owners allowed to build up on the blades and in the pipes.

    45. A Samsung TV that'll disguise itself as an elegant picture frame when it's not in use. A magical marvel in home decor and technology if you ask me.

    46. And a geometric rug you'll absolutely love even if you failed geometry in high school. No one's going to ask you what a parallelogram is while you're enjoying your nice new rug.
