1. A bagless, cordless Shark vacuum that’ll make keeping your floors clean a breeze. This pick is *so* much easier to move around your home than the huge, corded vacuums of yore; it converts easily from an upright vac to a hand-held one so you can get into hard-to-reach places no problem, and even flexes to get under low-to-the-ground furniture. Talk about versatile!
2. A three-step kitchen and household ladder, because there are easier ways to reach the very top shelves of your cabinets than hopping on the counters. Easy to fold out and equally easy to store, this little stepper is a must-have to make the most of your vertical storage — particularly if you, like me, are less than vertically blessed yourself.
3. A shoe storage cabinet with A+ aesthetics, so you don’t have to worry about tripping over your amazing shoe collection anymore. This two-door cabinet has five shelves inside that can hold tons of pairs. Also, it’s gorgeous. Just sayin’.
4. An unexpectedly ~aesthetic~ air fryer, because there’s no easier way to cook for yourself than this. From Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful line, this gorgeous gadget has a six-quart capacity, so you can air fry, roast, reheat, or dehydrate whatever your little foodie heart desires — and did I mention how stunning it is? I mean, just look at it. It’s as much a piece of kitchen décor as it is an appliance. Meal prepping has never been easier or prettier!
5. A set of pantry and fridge storage bins, because nothing signifies that you are in the home of an on-top-of-their-ish person like a well-organized kitchen. 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, so you’ll always be able to reach what you need quickly and easily.
6. A weighted blanket to soothe your anxious soul. Popping one of these 12-pound picks on your bed will make it feel like you’re getting an enormous hug every time you go to sleep. Bonus: This one is breathable for folks who tend to run a little warm when they sleep (*raises hand*), and it’s been treated with antimicrobial magic to keep bacteria at bay.
7. A highly effective oil-free sunscreen/moisturizer combo from Cetaphil, because if you're not already wearing SPF daily, you, uh... might want to get on that. This lightweight formula packs an SPF of 35 for solid broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection — and it’s particularly good for sensitive skin, if that’s you. (It’s me. It’s absolutely me.)
8. A shockingly pretty anti-fatigue mat that’ll help keep your knees and feet in tip-top shape no matter how long you've been up and on your feet. Most reviewers use this mat in the kitchen — it’s terrific for those times when you’re cooking up something ambitious or tackling a mountain of dishes, for example — but it’ll work its magic in a wide variety of other situations, too, like if you have a standing desk at work.
9. A wireless LED light bar or two, because no one should need to stumble around in the dark if they don't have to. With this lil' guy, you'll never have to worry about banging your shins on anything in the middle of the night again! Operable by remote control, it installs super easily and runs on batteries — no hardwiring or plugs required.
10. A stackable wire shelf organizer (or two, or three, or...) that’ll make getting a handle on just about anything a cinch. The more life goes on, the more I realize I just do not have the time or patience to dig through the depths of all my cabinets every time I need to yank out my stock pot — and if you, too, are in that boat, this organizer (or a bunch of them!) will solve all your problems.
11. A wall-mounted mail and key organizer that'll make locking yourself out a thing of the past. With five hooks for keys, masks, and other assorted hanging must-haves, plus three (count 'em!) compartments for ingoing or outgoing mail, this handy little station will help you double-check that you’ve got everything you need before you run out the door in the morning.
12. A Squatty Potty, because you deserve to poop in comfort. True, it's not particularly pretty... but it sure is effective. This one even folds up for easy storage if you don't want to leave it out all the time!
13. A sleek office chair so comfortable, you’ll actually look forward to sitting in it all day, every day. Ergonomic and with loads of seat padding, this pick has all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a good office chair — smooth-rolling casters, a swivel feature, adjustable height, the works — plus clean lines and a streamlined silhouette that'll never go out of style, no matter how many times you change your work space's design scheme.
14. And a cozy lap desk for those days when you can't quite make it to your actual desk. (We've all been there!) Suitable for laptops up to 15.6 inches and most tablets, this pick features a soft, cushioned bottom, a slot to hold your phone, and even a built-in mouse pad.
15. A really good gel memory foam mattress, because it's never too late to start taking care of your back. This 10-inch mattress from Serta boasts three different layers of foam for a medium-firmness pick that’ll ease tossing and turning, as well as aches and pains — and it’s breathable, thanks to cooling technology, which, as most people who sleep hot can tell you (me, it’s me, I’m most people), is a boon when it comes to maintaining a comfortable snoozing temperature.
16. And a set of excellent sheets to go with it, because why sleep on scratchy sheets if you don’t have to? This 800-thread-count sateen weave set will send you off to the land of Nod in cool, soft comfort — even if you have a deep mattress (they’re designed for it!).
17. AND a trendily minimalist platform bed frame that’s also — key point! — easy to get in and out of. (I don’t know about you, but my rapidly aging joints are definitely not what they used to be.) With a 100% steel frame — no particle board here! — this option fits a variety of aesthetics, and as a bonus, it doesn’t require a box spring.
18. A six-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven from Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful line, because hey, guess what? Your workhorse cookware can be super pretty, gloriously functional, and magnificently affordable, all in one go. This gorgeous piece goes from stovetop to oven to table with ease and panache, whether you’re spending hours braising short rib to serve your favorite dinner guests or making a big ol’ pot of soup for yourself (pro tip: Eat some now; freeze some for later. Your future self will thank you). Beautiful by name. Beautiful by nature. What more could you ask for?
19. A set of matte-finish stoneware dishes as beautiful as they are practical. This sophisticated and understated 12-piece service for four includes dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls, all of which are also dishwasher-, microwave-, and oven-safe. Gorgeous and easy to take care of? Yes, please!
20. A big ol' bottle of Wet and Forget shower cleaner, so you can delight in having a squeaky clean shower without spending hours scrubbing to get it that way. Just spray the whole shower down with this stuff once a week, let it sit overnight, and rinse it off the next day. It’ll do all the mold- and mildew-fighting for you. Magic!
21. A sleek motion-sensor trash can that will ruin you from all other trash cans. The lid 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. Mundane? Perhaps. The best thing ever? Absolutely.
22. A cool and classy sectional, because replacing your ancient futon with something more grown up will absolutely feel like a win. With a reversible chaise, this piece is both flexible and beautiful — and it's so comfy, you might find yourself accidentally falling asleep on it from time to time, too, according to reviewers. Who doesn't love a good nap?
23. A pair of blue light-filtering glasses, so you can protect your peepers from the strain of our constantly plugged-in world. If you spend a lot of time in front of your computer, these super pretty specs from Drew Barrymore’s Flower Eyewear line (yes, she's everywhere these days, but y'know, I'm not mad about it) will cut down on the amount of blue light you're exposed to, which in turn might help you sleep better and eliminate headaches caused by (ouch) stressed-out eyeballs.
24. A ridiculously pretty lateral filing cabinet, because you need somewhere to stash your steadily growing collection of tax returns, housing-related documents, medical paperwork, and the like. Why not make it rustic-chic while you're at it? This two-drawer cabinet gives you plenty of space to organize all the bits of paper that are keeping you and your life together. Functionality doesn’t have to be boring!
25. A corner shower storage caddy that’ll keep your favorite lotions and potions within easy reach — meaning you won’t have to worry about slipping while reaching for them. This two-tier pick features an open wire design that’ll help wet items dry better, too, because who has the time to worry about the nasty aftermath of pooling water?
26. A bottle of Downy's powerful wrinkle release spray, because you don't have to futz around with an iron to present yourself as unflustered and freshly pressed at all times. Just spritz your clothes down with this stuff, give the hems a tug, and watch the wrinkles fall right out. Getting ready to take on the day has never been easier!
27. An energy-efficient blackout curtain panel or two that’ll actually, y’know, darken your room if you typically find sleep to be somewhat elusive. These classic panels have grommets at the top, so you won’t need to faff about with curtain rings; you can hang ‘em right on the rod. Easy peasy.
28. A pair of stunning yet practical storage baskets, because you'll always thank yourself for thinking ahead and providing plenty of ways to get your clutter out of the way. These gorgeous seagrass baskets can hold anything from blankets to toys — and they do it with panache, too.
29. A cute and sturdy storage bench so versatile, you’ll never stop finding uses for it. Seriously, storage benches are the unsung heroes of home furnishings: Pop some baskets in the cubbies and you’ve got an easy spot to get odds and ends out of sight. If you want to get a bit more creative, you can use the cubes as display space for your favorite objets d'art. And, you will never, ever regret having more seating in your home. Trust me.
30. And a Waterpik flosser, because you only get one set of teeth, so if you, uh, don’t want to run into problems later, you’d best start taking care of them now. This cordless option gets your flossing done quickly and easily, getting into the hardest-to-reach crevices in your mouth and blasting lingering gunk out with the power of water. And, unlike models that come with a tank, this one is portable, so you’ll never have an excuse not to floss.
