1. Battery-operated, motion sensing night lights you can install anywhere in the house, because you don't turn on the lights. The lights turn on for YOU.
These little lights are AA battery-operated (not included, but you can grab some here), weatherproof feature, a 30-second auto shutoff, activate from 15 feet away, and can be stuck anywhere (just grab some Command strips!).
Promising review: "We have a short set of steps from the house into the attached garage that have always been dark and a little hard to see clearly in certain situations. These lights have been a perfect solution. They activate quite well and at a good distance, and put out a really nice amount of light. They also seem well made. I mounted one with the adhesive strip, and one with the screws (both included) and they are equally secure. They couldn't be easier to install and use right away. My whole family appreciates them." —foradrive

Includes a remote that can adjust the brightness.
Promising review "This is a wonderful product; just what I wanted. Super easy to install and I love that it breaks off into sections so you don’t have any hanging over to hide. The remote is awesome and there are lots of brightness settings. I’m going to use these everywhere!" —Queen Halloween

Promising review: "So my dog got into my makeup bag and got ahold of some liquid lipstick and needless to say, I flipped out to see my carpets neon orange. It took about an hour and two rolls of paper towels but holy moly! WOW did this stuff work! My mother recommended it to me after using it on minor stains at her house and I'm so glad I got it. Definitely worth the money and it really does disappear right before your eyes like the bottle says!" —Jen
Get it from Amazon for $12.13.
4. A silicone utensil rest that'll let you ditch the soggy paper towel covered in pasta sauce remnants for a more mess-free, easy-to-clean option. What's easier, tossing this in the washer or scrubbing off caked-on food stuck to the counter?
Promising review: "These silicone utensil holders are perfect. You can rest multiple tools, it handles multiple sizes, keeps the counter clean, keeps the tool cool to the touch, can handle hot tools because of the silicone. Because they are made of silicone they are food safe, heat resistant and easy to clean (dishwasher safe). The moment I saw them I knew I had to have them because I have not seen a better design for a utensil holder." —Salomon Camhi
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 18 colors).
5. A collapsible dolly — an essential tool you'll find very handy having around the house. Collapse it together and toss it in the car for errands, load up packages, and just move things around with complete ease.
This lightweight (under five pounds!) dolly — named The Dozop — holds up to 250 pounds! It was designed by Luca Buttazzoni with the intention to make one-person moves easier.
Promising review: "This is a great idea, especially for those of us who are impaired physically. It is so easy to put together, use, and then reassemble to store. It can be used in many different ways and it works smoothly on many surfaces. I am sure we will get lots of use from this dolly for years to come!" —Melissa
Get it from The Grommet for $44.95.
6. A sheet detangler for drying sheets faster (and with fewer wrinkles!) and keeping them from twirling up in a soggy ball. That's not helpful, dryer!
Owner Cyndi Bray created her company Wad-Free to provide a solution we all know too well: Sheets wadding up and not drying properly.
Promising review: "I love this gadget. The sheets come out wrinkle free. They are easier to fold and the rest of the laundry is not balled up in the sheets. Everything dried in less time." —Christine
7. A cabinet painting kit because a paint refresh is muuuuuuuch cheaper than ripping your cabinets out and replacing with new ones. A little TLC will do 'em good.
Includes two 31-oz. cans of Nuvo cabinet paint, one roller arm, two roller covers, two-inch angled paint brush. Each covers 100 square feet of cabinet surface.
Promising review: "This product was super easy to use. We went with the tips in the reviews and bought nicer foam rollers specifically for cabinets and I’m so happy I did, it made it so we barely had to use a brush because of how the foam rolls over the side. We also took the doors and handles off, which I recommend also. It definitely wouldn’t have turned out as nice if we left them on.
This took four coats and five in the larger areas (i.e. next to the fridge, etc). Our kitchen took two kits, but well worth it and still way cheaper than the quotes that we got from professionals. It totally changes the feel of the kitchen and it looks SO MUCH BRIGHTER! I would say give yourself a few days to knock this out as it took us several nights to finish. But would highly recommend." —TJ Sarnese
Get it from Amazon for $69.95 (available in more colors here).
8. A dual-USB charging port for your couch because you will no longer hunch over, stretching every bit of your phone charger just to see your phone.
Promising review: "This is a simple, low-tech tool that keeps my tablet fired up and ready to go at my favorite spot on my couch. It stays put and is easily re-located. Solved a problem I didn't even know I had." —Elaine
Get it from The Grommet for $14.95.
9. A dog paw cleaning device if summer showers have turned your floors into muddy paw print central. With this you can quickly wipe off your pets feetsies so they can get back to running the household.
Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer that likes to dig, a mini golden doodle that is prissy about her paws and a standard labradoodle puppy that is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking in to the camper was ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
10. A microwave bacon cooker so you can get your go-to treat faster and without the whole waiting for the oven to heat up, dirtying a huge tray part. Just toss some bacon on this thing, heat it up the microwave, and voila!
Promising review: "It makes it easy to cook bacon as crispy or chewy as I like, and drains off the fat. An unexpected benefit is how easy it also is to pour the fat into a container and use for other cooking." —Ivar
Get it from The Grommet for $22.95.
11. A pressure washer to restore your deck and fence to their former glory. This powerful washer generates up to 2030 PSI to tackle tough jobs like deck, house, driveway cleanings with years of built-up dirt and debris.
Promising review: "This thing is great but insanely addictive. My neighbors would rate this 0 stars because I'm running this bad boy at all hours. Car wash at 4am? You bet. Hose out the garage and all down the driveway? Consider it done. Neighbors dog won't stop barking? Aim and squeeze. There's no longer any paint on my house, the layers of dirt from when dinosaurs walked the earth has been removed from every crack of concrete and the stubborn moss that engulfed my front steps has been screaming "no more daddy!" for days now. I'm a ruthless power washing machine now. It has become a part of me. I dream about it every night. Now I'm just figuring a way to power clean my putrid, filthy soul." —10%contained
Get it from Amazon for $159.
12. Interlocking Teak tiles that'll transport your backyard, bathroom, truly any flooring to some tropical getaway. Oh, it's just your shower? Feels like a dang spa to us!
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.
13. Garage magnets you literally stick to the door for the world's easiest transformation. You might not believe it's your garage door when you're finished adding these!
14. A stone-effect spray paint so you can skip the entire buying an expensive new countertop for your bathroom part.
Promising review: "We recently purchased a new home, and we're not gutting our main bathroom until next summer, but I just couldn't live with that 1980s green another day. So after reading a lot of tutorials, I decided to go for it and paint the counter. I LOVE how it came out! Once it was dry for 24 hours, I applied several coats of poly and let it sit for 72 hours before I let the counter go back into normal use. It's held up like a dream." —Mistella

15. A cabinet hammock – a much cuter way to store your produce that doesn't involve taking up more counter space. That's important real estate!
Lesli Lenover's small shop has all things macrame...even mini plant hangers for your car! The shop is based in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Promising review: "I was so excited to clear off counter space by getting rid of my fruit bowl. The quality is great, thank you!" —Melinda Myrick
Get it from Macra-YAY Macrame on Etsy for $30.
16. Outdoor sconces for some modern ~ambience~. So suave.
Promising review: "All we can say is WOW! These lights surpassed our expectations! You could buy other similar lights for a lower price, but these are high quality and worth what we paid. The material is heavy duty, great casing to handle weathering. A breeze to install, we had three lights done within an hour with no issues. The look is modern, clean. Would highly recommend!" —Ruth B.
Get it from Amazon for $71.99 each (available in black and white and two styles).
17. A Tushy bidet that'll become one of those, how did I not buy this sooner? purchases. Save toilet paper and get a better clean with this magical device that even features adjustable pressure. Ahhh – a spa for the bum.
When I say that this has changed my life, I mean it. Truly, my boyfriend and I should be the next spokesperson for Tushy, because we've RAVED about it to anyone who is wiling to listen us talk about our butts. The amount of toilet paper we've saved since we started using this just a couple months ago...unfathomable. Not only is it great for the environment, it's great for the bum, too. No more harsh wiping and going through 15 sheets of paper just to feel clean. This actually makes you feel clean, like you took a shower without the hassle of, you know, taking an entire shower. EVERY TOILET NEEDS THIS!
Get it from Tushy for $99 (originally $129; available in two knob colors).
18. An all-in-one shelf, storage, and roll holder that'll turn your TP center into more than just a one hit wonder. You'll appreciate the extra space, and your guests will appreciate being able to find extra toilet paper.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $49.
19. An Icelandic wool nesting pad to protect your furniture from your sweet pet's scratchy paws and never-ending shedding. Does this look absolutely magnificent on your sofa? Yes, but we will tell the pooch it's just for them and not secretly you. *wink*
20. A vacuum hose attachment specifically made for your dryer vent. A little suction will suck out a TRULY surprising amount of lint from your dryer and hose that builds up overtime and increases risk of dryer fires.
Promising review: "Honestly, we are speechless! We are excellent about cleaning the lint trap after every load of clothes. We even clean the lint vent outside. But nothing could have prepared us for the amount of lint and gunk trapped in the vent tubing! How we have never had a fire, we have no idea. We vacuumed forever all the way up the vent tube, which we could have in no way done without this item. The suction power was unbelievable! We could not believe how bad the tubing was clogged. Just look at the picture. We removed about 3/4 of a kitchen garbage bag size of lint and gunk! It was amazing and embarrassing! It’s SO inexpensive, but it could literally save you from a house fire! Anyway, just buy it. Excellent value! You won’t be sorry!" —Brian Mattix/Elizabeth Bodnam
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
21. A sail canopy to give your patio a bit of shade if it's dead center in the sun's path. Cool down under your fancy new shade with a *cracks can* crisp, cold bevvy.
Promising review: "This shade sale worked perfectly to provide morning and afternoon shade and looks fabulous. I like that the way the design looks. It was easy to install, and has held up to the monsoons of summer quite well. I am purchasing another one for the horse pen! I give 5 stars." —Laura P.
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in seven sizes and 13 colors/prints).
22. A ceramic cooktop cleaner essential for removing the nasty, caked-on food gunk and burn stains stuck on the sides of your burner from your attempt at making cacio e pepe three weeks ago.
Promising review: "I honestly did not think this product would work! I tried nearly everything, including the sample that came with my black glass stove. I squirted the product onto the stove top and used a damp scrub pad. Most of the built-up brown stains and white streaks came off with minimal scrubbing effort. What impressed me was that the white streaks were 95% gone as well! Nothing took these off before. I highly recommend this product! The only thing I will use from now on!" —Natalie
Get it from Amazon for $9.89.
23. Shower curtain rings with two separate hangers for your curtain and liner that'll make it incredibly easy to remove either for cleaning. Save the precious free time you have during the week to do fun things, instead of fighting to get your grimy curtain off.
Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn’t know you needed, and once you get it you can’t help but wonder you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for multiple shower curtains. I know you’re like, ‘It’s just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner, that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." —Nardsbaby
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five finishes).
24. A leather restoring polish to breathe new life into the sad couch you thought was long gone.
Promising review: "I used this product to breathe new life into a leather sofa that I got for free on Facebook Marketplace. I changed the color of the sofa from a medium brown to the dark brown color. The product was easy to use, dried quickly, and covered much of the damage, cracking, and fading on the sofa. I love the finished product, and this was for under $30 cost total for materials. It took me two containers to cover the entire couch with a small amount left over. If you weren't doing a complete color change you could probably get away with one container. I highly recommend buying some cheap stippling brushes for getting the color into seams and crevices. This product works more like a paint than a dye, so keep that in mind." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in 19 colors).
25. And! Velvet slip covers that'll save your upholstery from unfortunately all-too-common spills. In the event one strikes, just remove, toss in the wash and *bada bing bada boom*, it's clean! These'll also completely transform your worn out couch. Is your living room a showroom now? Yes, yes it is.
Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and love seat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz
Get it from Amazon for $29.31+ (available in two sizes and eight colors)
26. A double-ended extension cord, because sometimes you need two but only have one outlet to spare. Go ahead, plug that lamp in! And that charger! And that router!
Cords are 6 feet long and have three plugs each.
Promising review: "I have no idea why these are not sold everywhere. PERFECT for my room! I ended up getting this due to my king size bed being against a wall with only one outlet. I needed a way to connect my two lamps on my nightstand and this is absolutely, without a doubt, the very best solution to connecting my lamps and also not having all my outlets taken up. I recommend this to everyone! Also perfect for outlets connected to a switch to turn on and off both lights at the same time." —Ryan
Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (available in black and white).
27. A super quiet Aeris air purifier that looks like it transported itself back in time from 3021. It can be controlled from your phone, and works hard to remove bacteria, allergens, viruses, mold, and smoke from your air — you know, all the things you don't want floating around.
28. A picture-hanging tool to take all the stress out of hanging a gallery wall (or even just one shelf or frame). It's basically a tape measure with a built-in level, and two slidey points designed for effortlessly marking the precise spots where you need to hammer your nails. Actually level frames??? It's possible, my friend.
Ooooohhh, the amount of times I have a hung up a picture just to take a step back and realize it is very crooked; it's too many to count.
Promising review: "While hanging shelves and frames and other wall decorations shouldn't be rocket science, I make things more complicated than they should be. Leveling is where I normally falter. With the Hang-O-Matic it becomes an exact science! It's so simple to use! I've hung over 10 items on our walls this past weekend and it was a breeze with this tool. Just measure, put the tape to the wall where you want it, ensure your tape is level, and then push the marker pins in to know where you need to put in your anchors/hooks. When you're doing it solo, this tool is absolutely priceless!" —Shameel Kumar
Get it on Amazon for $14.98.
29. A degreaser cleaner that'll take your driveway (and other hard surfaces) from a greasy, oily mess to a clean and pristine concrete heaven.
Promising review: "Is an unbelievable floor cleaner. See photo of just pouring on very dirty garage floor and how it exposed a very clean floor underneath." —Chef Biswanger
Get a 1-gallon bottle from Amazon for $9.09.
30. A set of air-tight containers so you can trade in messy cereal boxes and chip bags for some A-grade organization. I mean, this is the Instagram-level storage that gets my blood pumping!!!
Promising review: "Love everything about these! Not only do they look great and help me not stress me out every time I open the cabinet, they work very well. The air lock seal is perfect. Plus the tall ones are great for a box of cereal and cute enough to leave out on the counter for the kids! Hoping they last over time, but right now I feel these are worth the investment. Will buy more soon!" —Kindle Customer
Get a five-piece set from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in a 10-piece set).

Promising review: "Absolutely obsessed with how organized my kitchen looks with these effortless and minimal stickers for my jars. I’m tempted to buy each and every sticker! If I ever need to change out my jars, I will definitely be reordering these stickers." —Emily Nguyen
