We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A smart code keypad for that someone in your house who's always forgetting their keys. (In my house, that someone is me.)
2. A brass sconce because why waste bedside tablespace on a lamp when you can get that perfect mood lighting right on the wall?
3. A household tool kit with all the basics you could need. And let me tell you, tackling IKEA furniture with real tools instead of that little Allen wrench? A total game changer.
4. A gallon of blue-gray paint neutral enough to paint a whole room, but with enough pop that you could totally use it on an accent wall.
5. A peel-and-stick backsplash because tiling is intimidating — all the steps! so much grout! — but putting up a sticker is dead easy. And nobody will be able to tell.
6. A set of bar knobs to make your cabinets look sleek and classy and all it takes is five minutes of effort and a screwdriver.
7. A rattan ceiling light so you can incorporate the trendy woven material into your decor in a way that's just a little bit ~unexpected.~ Chairs and serving trays could never.
8. A multi-use ladder that can be used as a stepladder or an extended ladder, and even works on uneven surfaces like staircases.
9. A roll of Duck Tape because, listen, if there's not some part of your home that's held together with duct tape, you're way too fancy for this list.
10. A backlit house number so delivery people will never miss your house again when you order that midnight ice cream you're desperately craving.
11. A pull-down faucet perfect for someone just getting into home DIY. It's way simpler than it seems, requires only a few tools, and the results really pack a punch.
12. A set of vintage-style lightbulbs to bring that warm glow to pretty much any light fixture. And they're LED, so you won't have to worry about them burning out super fast!
13. A roll of peel-and-stick wallpaper with a reclaimed wood pattern that very nicely fakes the real thing for those of us who can't spend our weekends searching for literal wood to reclaim.
14. And a wallpaper smoother and utility knife set to go with it, because trust me, trying to smooth out wallpaper with your credit card gets old FAST.
15. An auto-lock tape measure so you can never be caught in an embarrassing, "clearly this person did not measure their space before they started" kind of situation.
16. A three-tool combo set that includes all those power tools you're too nervous to invest in (same!). But don't be intimidated! They're safe, simple to grasp, and wayyyy easier to use than trying to tighten screws or saw wood by hand. You got this, we believe in you!
17. Or a set of battery packs to go with any tools you might already have — we all know there's nothing worse than being deep in a project and having a battery die, so it's always smart to have a backup or two.
18. A can of sandy beige paint because a severely white wall is sooooooo not the vibe. Warm everything up (without competing with your decor) with this super versatile neutral.
19. A bottle of Gorilla super glue so you can have it on hand when you need it. You don't necessarily want to need it, but at some point, you probably will.
20. A carton of vinyl flooring that looks just like hardwood but requires none of the prep. Just click it into place over your existing flooring, and you're all set.
21. An electric pressure washer for that satisfying feeling of revealing the true color of your deck or pavement. Just make sure to wear closed-toe shoes when you use it!
22. A wet-dry vacuum to clean up any of the inevitable messes that come with home improvement.
23. A faucet-mounted water filtration system that you can attach without any tools and quickly enjoy clean, crisp water.
24. A HEPA air purifier because renovating can be a dusty business, and that dust really shouldn't get in your lungs. This is great for allergy sufferers year-round, too!
25. A circular saw for more serious projects — while the hardware store can do some cutting, at some point, you're gonna want to be able to do it at home.
26. A Dremel because these little guys are just phenomenally helpful. Whether you're doing a small cutting job, buffing, or even scrubbing, it's sure to come in handy.
27. A pack of outdoor motion-activated LED lights that are totally solar-powered, so once you've installed them you can just forget about 'em — no awkward battery replacements needed.
28. A weighted screen door curtain for an easy fix to rusty, squeaky screen doors on tracks. Plus, if you have dogs or little ones, they'll be able to go in and out as they please.
29. A smart dimmer switch so you can walk into your house and say, "Computer! Lights on!" and fully live all of our Star Trek dreams.
30. A showerhead and handheld combination for the most luxurious showers of your life. And you definitely don't need a plumbing background to replace your old showerhead with this beauty!
31. And a screw and nut assortment so you're never caught without what you need. Whether you're hanging a picture or assembling furniture that came with inadequate supplies, you'll be glad to have these around.
