Promising review: "I have natural wood floors and work from home. I didn’t pay attention to the fact that my desk wheels were wearing out and drying out my floor. I was able to repair two years of wheel dryness in like 15 minutes. I’ve been able to do it on other areas of our wood floor and it repairs and moisturizes areas where my dogs have run across the floor over and over. It is really one of the best products I’ve ever used." —Amazon Customer

2. A fast-drying and waterproof white grout pen so your tiles always have a bright backdrop to gleam against.
Promising review: "These things are awesome! I cleaned my bathroom tile grout first because the lady who lived there before me really let it go. A few places stayed stained and I was worried it wouldn't cover them, but all grout areas are bright white and look new now!" —Donna K Cook

Promising review: "I absolutely love this backsplash!! It was easy to install and looks like real tile once it’s on the wall! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to add backsplash to an area of their house while staying on a budget. It will turn out looking great! JUST A NOTE: We used an adhesive spray to to make sure the tile stays in place. Better safe than sorry!" —Anna

5. A leather conditioner that'll restore your leather throne to its former glory. Just spread a thin and even layer of conditioner to reveal rejuvenated (and water-repellant) furniture.
Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots, as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this Leather Honey and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need a small amount per use!" —David H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).
6. A faux-marble surface cover because your laminate countertops have been begging for a glow-up. All you have to do is peel and stick for a glossy, easy-to-clean surface that'll elevate the look of your space.
Promising review: "I do not have the money for a new vanity right now. Insert DIY project to cover my ugly pink bathroom vanity with marble contact paper. It looks 100% better and it’s super durable. It’s a little tricky to work with at first and then you get the hang of it. I’m buying more for my half bath! My vanity looks so great that I decided to do the tabletop in my laundry room, and that looks great, too!" —Natalie Evans
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five sizes).

These rechargeable lights offer three light mods: day mode, night mode, and always-on mode.
Promising review: "Highly recommend. Easy to install, no tools needed. The magnetic strength is strong enough so the lights don't fall off. The light is bright and works great in the middle of the night as I walk into the kitchen. Light charges quickly and it's long lasting, so you're not always recharging them. Great for kitchen, closets, and any other dark areas where you would need bright lighting. Will be ordering more for my closets throughout my house." —Monica
Get three from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in four colors).
8. Outdoor string lights for creating a cozy and warm atmosphere. Plus, they were built to withstand all kinds of weather, so no need to worry about them being damaged by Mother Nature.
Reviewers note that you should take the bulbs out before hanging the strings up!
Promising review: “Very nice set of lights for the price. I bought a number of sets in various lengths to install on our deck and used a staple gun to mount them. I am very pleased with how easy it was mount them neatly and also with the quality of light. It's exactly the amount of warmth that we were looking for.” —Frank Rizzo
Get it from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in six sizes and four colors).

12. Easy-to-install interlocking teak tiles perfect for elevating any space to the level of tropical resort spa.
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!" —Adelia
Get 10 tiles (covers 10 square feet) from Amazon for $73.79.
13. Luxe cabinet pulls that'll help bring your bathroom and/or kitchen into the 21st century. No offense to the rusting knobs you have now that were installed back when sliced bread was invented....
Promising review: "Wow!! That's my first thought on opening these. I'm in the process of updating my master bathroom and saw these online. Of course, the bargain shopper I am, I checked my local stores. They had packs of 10 for $54...very lightweight. So I was scared of what I was getting here. These are almost 5 ounces each!! Very heavy quality, all individually wrapped with the screws for each. Definitely best quality and best price!!" —Margaret
Get a five-pack from Amazon for $13.97+ (also available in packs of 10 and 25, and in seven finishes).
14. A portable Bissell multi-purpose carpet cleaner to take care of those spots and stains on your carpets, car's upholstery, couches, and more. It's got powerful spray and suction so those stubborn pet messes will be gone in mere moments. Deep clean made easy!
Promising review: “Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers’ couches and look at the difference. It could use one more go to get to the ‘looking like brand new’ but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn’t believe it would work that well. Well it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner get it, you will not be disappointed.” —edina bajraktarevic
Get it from Amazon for $122.
15. A pair of vintage-inspired amber soap dispensers because the store's plastic bottles do not fit your aesthetic. At all. These refillable dispensers are also dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "These are amazing soap dispensers. The amber glass is sturdy and strong, and the pump works great. They're easy to fill and they look so good on your bathroom or kitchen countertop. Highly recommend!" —Emily
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four different pump colors).
16. A hand-woven bamboo and rattan pendant light whose tropical vibe will add a beautiful and natural element to your space.
17. A recessed light converter so you can hang the pendant lights of your dreams without having to get an electrician involved.
Promising review: "This was a pretty easy installation considering the work is on the ceiling. I've been wanting to change out the two can lights over my sink for years, so I started investigating the easiest possible way to do so. Ran across this item, and watched the video on YouTube. What the heck, I thought! Rewatched the video before installation, looked at the directions on both the converter kit and the pendant light, gathered the necessary tools described in all instructions, and set upon my mission. The hardest part (for me) was getting the self-tapping screws started. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome, I must say! By the way, I'm a 55-year-old female who has worked at a bank all of my life. Yes! It was that easy. I would highly recommend it." —Trischa Reeve
Get it from Amazon for $20.50.
18. A set of magnetic decorative garage door hinges to give them the classic carriage house door treatment.
Promising review: "The only thing I don’t like is that kids think they are real and walk up and try to hang on the handles, which obviously just come right off. I have to admit it’s hysterical; it does teach the kids to quit messing around with things they shouldn’t because they think they break them...it’s downright comical. Other than that, you would never know they are magnetic. They stay on, you can pull them off easily to wash the doors and then just put right back on. Heavy rains and they didn’t come off. It’s -20 outside now, and they're still stuck on with no problems. I got three sets — one double door and one single door, looks perfect." —GSDHouse4
Get the pack of six from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles/combos; faux window panels sold separately).
19. Prismatic window film for a little added privacy. Plus, when the sun shines through, you'll see rainbows everywhere. What an easy solution to a lack of color!
Promising review: "Buy it just for the prisms! I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall...and the bed...and the cat." —J. B.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
20. Or elegantly frosted privacy film if your neighbors have waaaay too much access to what you do in your home.
Promising review: "This film was just what I needed. It provides enough privacy without blocking light. I didn’t have any problems with it not sticking to the window. You just have to make sure the windows are very clean and remember to peel off the backing and spray lots of water before sticking it on the glass!!! I used an old credit card as a squeegee to get rid of the air bubbles. The application was very easy. I highly recommend this product!!!" —Selenable
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in six sizes and two colors).
21. A cabinet painting kit that doesn't require any stripping or priming. Upgrade your kitchen cabinets and enjoy having guests ask you how much you paid for that "renovation."
Includes two 31-oz. cans of Nuvo cabinet paint, one roller arm, two roller covers, and 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 was 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." —T.J. Sarnese
Get it from Amazon for $79.95 (available in more colors here).
22. Self-adhesive black wood texture paper to turn your outdated cabinets into a contemporary vision.
This wallpaper cutting and smoothing kit will likely help quite a bit!
Promising review: "I rent, so this was perfect for updating my bathroom cabinets. Looks like real wood, and it was very easy to install." —GiGi
Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in 14 sizes).
23. A set of dimmable under-cabinet lighting strips so you can go to the kitchen for your midnight snack without facing the harshness of your overhead light. Each strip has adhesive backing, so no need to whip out the tool belt for this project.
Promising review: "I am happy that this has a true RF remote; I went behind the wall and it still worked. I needed three separate sets since my cabinets were disconnected, but being able to use just one remote for all of them is almost like what a professional would do! It came with enough cord holders to make sure they aren't hanging down. I left the lights on all day so a little bit of warmth would set the adhesive, but the lights really are cool to the touch. I think they should last for a long time since they are LED and the installation looks totally hidden!" —Daniel Moyer
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in three colors).
24. A stone-effect spray paint if your countertops are in need of a glow-up but your budget is DIY. Just spray in an overlapping pattern, wait 30-60 minutes for it to dry, and voila!
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 counter 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 (This reviewer left a super in-depth review, so check out the rest of it here for their tips and tricks.)
Get it from Amazon for $23.65+ (available in six colors).
25. Or an acrylic faux-granite DIY paint kit for an inexpensive countertop upgrade sure to impress!
Promising review: "I have a very small kitchen counter and was looking for a refresh without having to replace the ugly granite that was there. I wanted a more marbled/blended look instead of speckles, so I did a lot of blending to achieve the look. I absolutely love it! I am thrilled with this product and I will be buying another kit for my granite upstairs!" —Salami Jones
Get it from Amazon for $99.95 (available in five colors).
26. A pack of mirrored acrylic decals that'll dress up any bare walls. And because these adhesive decals are mirrors, they'll even help make your space look bigger by reflecting light around the room!
Promising review: "Considering the price, it’s pretty good. It's easy to install and it makes a boring wall more interesting. As others said, it’s not glass. Glass would probably be way more difficult to install for a similar effect though. This works just fine and only involves peeling and sticking." —Me
Get a set of 12 pieces from Amazon for $11.99.
27. An electric fabric shaver to rescue furniture from pills, fuzz, and matted fibers. Get your couch back to just-bought-it condition!
The battery-operated fabric shaver uses two AA batteries, which are not included.
Promising review: "This thing is excellent. I just 'repaired' two cashmere sweaters and one modal-blend jersey top to like-new condition. The waste compartment fills up quickly and will start clogging the blades if not emptied frequently. I will share one trick I found for emptying the area around the blades. Remove the waste compartment and hold the unit vertically over a garbage can while turning the defuzzer on. Blades will spin and the rest of the pills will fall out. Enjoy." —Fine Print Reader
Get it from Amazon for $12.66+ (available in six colors and two styles).
28. A pack of copper and brass switch plate covers featuring classic colors and designs so you know that they'll definitely age well (or, I guess, not at all).
Promising review: "These are beautiful! I saw them and decided to take a chance and order all the covers I needed for the kitchen. I recently moved and live in an older house that has some updates, but the switch plates have not been replaced (or probably cleaned) in 30 years. It’s a country-type kitchen with real wood cabinets, and I wanted something that enhances the beauty of the cabinets without being too modern. These are PERFECT. I'm very happy with how it all looks. I even bought two more plates for the dining room light switches." —Frenzied Mom
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in a variety of styles and in a three-pack).
29. A balcony bar for a stable, makeshift table to prep for your barbecue or so your guests don't have to eat off their laps.
Promising review: “I LOVE this table. It makes for a cool space in evenings when my back deck is completely in sun. Very stable and worth the money.” —Robbin Dutton
Get it from Amazon for $289 (available in black and white).
30. A brick whitewash paint kit to help modernize your living space. And it's simple enough to get done in just one day!
This kit comes with everything you need for your DIY project! It includes a 16-ounce can of paint, three wiping rags, a mixing container, plastic drop cloth, painter’s tape, stir stick, paint brush, and detailed instructions.
Promising review: "I highly recommend this brick paint to anyone wanting a cheap, easy, and amazing upgrade to an outdated fireplace! I googled a quick YouTube video first, then just followed the instruction. It was so easy and I'm in absolute love with the results!!!! It completely transformed & brightened our living room." —Daniel N Mandy C
Get it from Amazon for $48.85.
31. A set of wood-repairing markers and wax sticks if that annoyingly huge scratch on your lovely coffee table is your Joker origin story. Just take one of these markers and color over any imperfections. Once it's dry, your furniture will be free of any annoying scuffs, nicks, and scrapes!
Promising review: "For $10 you can cover up so many scratches that you couldn't buy a house big enough to run out of ink. I've had this for just four hours, but I fixed a table that was scratched when I moved it, kitchen cabinets, chairs, a wine rack, and some hardwood flooring. It does a good job at covering the scratches to a point where you have to stare at a spot to notice it, but don't expect it to make your furniture to look brand new again. But for $10 you can make your furniture look reasonable! Would highly recommend to anyone who has pets who scratch the !@#$ out of their wood furniture." —Phaedrus
Get six markers, six wax sticks, and a sharpener from Amazon for $8.54.
32. A rustic gallery wall set complete with 10 varied frames so you can customize any wall in your home with pictures and artwork hung in an eye-catching array.
Promising review: "These are great frames that take the legwork out of finding a coordinating set. Great neutral colors, perfect for many decor styles. They came very carefully packaged, and included a template to help hang them. The frames are also perfect width to use Command strips to hang, if you want to. I loved them so much, I bought more!" —M. Zierke
Get it from Amazon for $75.79 (available in nine color combinations).
33. Chalkboard paint to turn any boring surface into a message board!
Promising review: "This product was wonderful. I painted some of my kitchen cabinets, and I converted a mirror into a chalkboard. This worked perfectly fine." —Supernovaink
Get it from Amazon for $8.64.
34. A roll of peel-and-stick floral wallpaper for an instant room transformation that'll have your friends asking for the name of your wallpaper guy.
Promising review: "Looks absolutely beautiful in my baby's room! Difficult to line up at first but after the first few we got the hang of it. I will say the pattern is very forgiving. Some areas didn't line up perfectly but you cant tell at all. It was definitely worth the frustration because I'm so happy with the finished product." —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes).
35. A high-pressure rain shower head so now you can close your eyes and pretend you got caught in a storm. A very cleansing storm.
Promising review: "I love a good showerhead with great pressure and a wide flow pattern. This showerhead delivers just that. I moved into a new house and immediately replaced the standard showerhead with this one. I'm very happy with this purchase. I installed it on the original pipe and did not use an extension pipe arm. It's got all the water pressure you'll need." —DeeOz
Get it from Amazon for $62.95+ (available in five finishes).
