1. An over-cabinet wire basket that’ll help organize your stuff and expand your storage space, all in one go. The two tiers on this basket have space for both taller bottles and smaller ones – and installation is as easy as just hanging it off the back of a cabinet door, no drilling or screws required.
2. A cute lil' expandable wooden cutlery tray, because who says efficiency can’t also be pretty? From Ree Drummond’s Pioneer Woman line, this acacia wood tray features six compartments to keep all your forks, spoons, and knives neat and tidy – and you can adjust it so that it fits your drawer exactly. And with that gorgeous floral lining to greet you every time you get ready to set the table? Just try not to smile. Seriously. I dare you.
3. A set of handy peg boards that you’ll never stop finding uses for. Put ‘em in your office! Hang your pots off ‘em in the kitchen! Stick ‘em in the garage and keep your DIY and fix-it supplies on them! The possibilities for this pair of 24”-by-48” boards are literally endless! Thanks to their versatility and ease of use, your most-reached-for items will always be close by – no matter what those items might be.
4. A faux leather upholstered bed with built-in storage, because nothing is more efficient than furniture that does double-duty. This sleek dream machine has two drawers that pull out from the foot of the bed, giving you an excellent space to stash extra linens, out-of-season clothing, and more.
5. A weekly meal planning pad that’ll take the mystery out of what’s for dinner once and for all. The pages of this colorful planner have space for you to keep track of your three squares each day of the week, along with a handy – and detachable! – shopping list section, so you can build your grocery list as you go. It’s even got a magnet, so you can keep it attached to your fridge.
6. And a set of glass meal prep containers, so you know you’ll always have something delicious waiting for you when you need it. Each container has two compartments, making them perfect for a main and a side; they’re also microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and include snap-shut, leak-proof lids. (You have better things to worry about than whether your lunch is going to end up all over the inside of your lunchbox instead of inside your tummy where it belongs, right?)
7. A slim, pull-out storage shelf that’ll help you utilize those weird, narrow gaps between bigger pieces of furniture that you might not otherwise have thought to put to work. The wheels and casters on this three-tiered shelving unit making sliding it in and out of place super easy, so it’ll fit just about anywhere.
8. A Roomba, because nothing says "efficiency" like a vacuum that literally takes care of your chores for you. This Wi-Fi connected li’l guy has smart censors that help it navigate around your home, sucking up anything it encounters – even pet hair. It’ll even take care of its own recharging, docking itself to top up its battery after running for 90 minutes. That's one less thing on your plate!
9. A foldable upholstered storage ottoman that you can use in oodles of different ways. You can use two of them together as an alternative to a coffee table, pull them apart and put your butt down on them when you need extra seating, stash odds and ends in them instead of leaving your stuff all over the floor, and, when you don't need them, you can fold them flat and put them away entirely. Yes, really!
10. A nine-piece set of fridge storage bins in an array of different sizes, so you’ll never again loose anything to the shadowy depths of your refrigerator. This set of stackable clear bins includes two wide bins, two narrow bins, an egg tray, and a can dispenser, plus a magnetic dry erase board. Bonus: Reviewers say they’re useful for pantry storage, craft supply organization, and more, too – not just the fridge!
11. A collapsible, wall-mounted clothes drying rack that you can easily fold away when it's not in use. Thanks to its accordion-style construction, it lies flat against the wall until you need it; then all you have to do is pull it out, and bam! 10 drying bars with a total of 30 feet of linear storage space.
12. A bottle of powerful wrinkle release spray, because it sure as heck beats going through all the trouble of yanking out an unwieldy ironing board every time you realize your pants look like crepe paper. A spritz of this stuff and a a tug on the fabric to straighten everything out will go a long, long way towards making you presentable in no time flat.
13. A set of four foldable dresser drawer dividers that’ll make the frustration of digging around trying to locate that one pair of socks that works with these shoes a thing of the past. And hey, guess what? This set of four each has a different size of little cubbyholes – meaning there are dividers for small items, like the aforementioned socks, and larger ones, like bras or undershirts. Say goodbye to your dresser drawer chaos for good.
14. A pair of wire under-cabinet baskets, so you can maximize every inch of your shelf space in places where storage is at a premium. There’s no need to worry about installation, either – these baskets slide right over shelves and hang from built-in hooks.
15. A set of four underbed storage bins that'll clear up clutter quickly and easily. I have a bunch of these myself; I use them to store spare sheets, blankets, and bath towels. The wheels on the bottoms of the bins mean you can just roll ‘em out from underneath the bed, while the duel-sided lids allow for access from either side. They’re not the prettiest of containers, but if you don’t like seeing them underneath your bed, get thee a bed skirt and voilà! Instant camouflage.
16. A big ol’ bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner, because SURPRISE, you actually don’t have to spend hours scrubbing every week to have a squeaky-clean shower. Once a week, just spray the whole shower down with this stuff after you’re done showering, let it sit overnight, and rinse it off the next day. It’ll do all the mold- and mildew-fighting for you. Magic!
17. An Instant Pot that also has air fryer capabilities, because anything that cuts down on the number of kitchen appliances you need – and the effort you yourself need to expend to whip up dinner – is a plus. This 8-quart Instant Pot performs a whopping nine functions, from pressure cooking to sauteeing to steaming to, yes, air frying. Feeding yourself and/or your entire household can, in fact, be a set-it-and-forget-it task.
18. An eight-piece modular drawer organizer set that’ll let you play Tetris with your junk drawer until everything fits – and, more importantly, will make it a junk drawer no more. The three long trays, three mini trays, and two larger, rectangular trays in this set can be arranged in any number of ways to suit any drawer; heck, you can even divide ‘em up between multiple drawers, if that’s how you roll. You'll never be at loss for a pencil, rubber band, or eyeglass screwdriver again!
19. An eye-catching desk organizer caddy, because nothing is more annoying than not being able to find a pen or sticky note when you need one. Rendered in rose gold wire, this organization station boasts five divider sections of various sizes that are perfect for keeping pens and pencils, binder clips, staplers, memo pads, and more in one easy-to-find place. There’s even a bigger slot at the back that can hold any important papers or folders you might need close at hand. Also, it is just. So. Pretty.
20. A sleek motion-sensor trash can that will ruin you for all other trash cans. The lid of this 13-gallon pick opens itself with the wave of a hand – meaning you can open it up without making a huge mess, even if your hands are covered with flour, sauce, or what have you. Simple-sounding? Perhaps. The best thing ever? Absolutely.
21. A wire kitchen organizer you can use to keep everything from baking sheets or pot lids to cutting boards and plates spick and span. It may not be fancy, but this eight-slot, cabinet-friendly piece definitely gets the job done; heck, you can even pop it on your desk and make it a file organizer, if you like.
22. A weekly task planner pad that’ll help you tick off every item on your to-do list, in style. Each page of this fun, brightly-hued pad has blocks sketched out for each of the weekdays, plus an additional block for the weekend, a block to help you figure out what your top priorities are for the week, a “future planning" block, and a little bit of free space for whatever you feel like using it for. And since the whole thing is undated, you’re not nailed into using each page for a precise, specific date. (As a devotee of undated planners, trust me – they’re the fully customizable planning essential you had no idea you needed.)
23. A pack of 10 Command cord clips, so you can not only get all your cords and cables under control, but keep them that way, too. These tiny, rounded clips stick wherever you need them – meaning you can run your cords anywhere, without worrying about tripping over them or just leaving a mess. Handy!
24. A set of six automatic toilet bowl gel cleaners that’ll, uh, freshen things up for you each and every time you flush. The long-lasting gel clicks into place inside the bowl via the recyclable applicator; then, for up to two weeks, each flush will deodorize the bowl and fight the dreaded toilet ring – all while leaving behind the delightful scent of mango and hibiscus. Note that this stuff doesn’t replace a good scrub, but it does keep things a little fresher between scrubbings. 🧼
25. An a.m./p.m. medication organizer, because remembering to take your meds doesn't have to be a struggle. Instead of just seven compartments, this one has 14 – two for each day of the week, each labeled for the morning and night. All you need to do is take a few minutes to sort everything in advance, and you’ll be set for the week.
26. An automatic pet food dispenser so your animal pal will always get their snackies, whether or not you’re actually home to give it to them. This feeder holds up to five meals, which it will dispense on a pre-programmed schedule you can set yourself. You'll never have to worry about Rover missing his dinner when you're stuck in traffic!
27. An ever-popular Keurig single-cup coffee maker, because what’s the point in making more coffee than you’re actually going to drink? The benefits of a pod machine like this K-Express Essentials model include being able to make a single, fresh cup, in minutes, whenever you want – so you’ll never end up making an entire pot, drinking half of it, and then letting the rest of it get cold and gross before finally tossing it out. It's a tragedy, and you'll never have to live through it again.
28. A set of two wall-mounted broom and mop organizers, because who has the time to empty an entire closet looking for the broom every time you make a tiny mess? (Not you, that’s for sure. You’ve got better things to do with your time.) With three click-in slots for bigger items and four hooks for smaller things like dust pans and cleaning rags, these racks have enough space for all the essentials – and thanks to their wall-mounted capabilities, it's all easy to access in a cinch.
29. An over-sink dish drainer, so all your kitchen gear can drip dry over something that’s actually supposed to get wet. With one or two big racks – including slots for plates! – plus a ton of hooks and a few other little pockets for things like cutlery, dish soap, and sponges, this adjustable, stainless rack is a veritable control station for dirty dishes. And hey, because it sits directly over your sink, it frees up valuable counter space, too.
30. And a two-pack of reusable microfiber makeup remover cloths that’ll take the day off you with nothing more than water and a gentle scrub. No product needed. No waste produced. Quick and speedy results. Everybody wins!
