1. A gorgeous reed diffuser set that uses fragrance oils to freshen the air in your home! Fill your space with beautiful, long-lasting scents.
Sweet Water Decor is a Pittsburgh-based small business.
Promising review:Â “Love this reed diffuser! This is a good alternative for people trying to avoid candles but still want their house to smell good. I am very sensitive to smells, so it’s nice that I can add or take away a reed, and it changes the strength of the smell that gets released.” âBrittany
Get it from Sweet Water Decor on Amazon Handmade for $23.99 (available in lots of scents).
2. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner. This paste has got you covered from your caked-on stove top to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!Promising reviews:Â “I have never seen my sink so clean! It removed the limescale with a regular wash cloth and a little scrubbing.” âCndrla
“I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top, but nothing has worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!” âMicaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
3. Some faux ivy if you’re a bit of a liability when it comes to real plants but you still want some greenery in your home. You’ll get 24 garlands of ivy to drape from your walls!
Promising review: “These vines are perfect for adding a pop of greenery to any room. They drape nicely over curtain rods and are easy to hang. I like that they come bound with a little bread tie so they are not tangled. They arrive in a ziplock plastic bag, which you could also use for storage. They do smell bad right out of the bag â a typical plasticky fake garland smell â but honestly, the smell faded within hours, and itâs totally worth it because they are high quality. The plastic part is thin and not bulky like some fake vines and garlands Iâve purchased, and the leaves feel silky â thatâs why these drape easily and delicately, and they donât look cheap. All in all, this was a great purchase, and Iâm planning to buy more!” âT. Nicole Cirone
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+Â (available in three pack sizes).
4. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don’t risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher’s performance. Because if a dishwasher can’t properly wash dishes…it’s essentially just a wet cabinet.
Promising review: âI started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I’d wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!â âCarey Holzman
Get six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
5. Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that’ll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.Promising review: “It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don’t really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks â only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true.” âKS
Get a pack (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.78.
6. A set of three decorative gold-colored mirrors sure to bounce light and help make your space seem bigger than it is. These vintage-inspired statement pieces are also super easy to mount to your wall.
Promising review: “I love how the mirrors look exactly the same in person as they do in the pictures. They’re actually prettier in person and I appreciate how lightweight they are, making it easier to hang on the wall even using nailless hangers.” âY. Boyd
Get a set of three from Amazon for $15.99 (available in five colors).
7. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this bleach-free formula, all you have to do is just spray it on, wait 8â12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
Promising review: âI had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget Shower Spray, coated the shower walls and floor pan, and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!â âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+Â (available in two sizes).
8. A pet hair remover so you’ll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that’s been calling it home in a few quick swipes. And because it doesn’t use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and…
Promising review: “I am allergic to cats, so here I am with two cats who shed. Their hair is covering all the furniture. I have special pet covers on my bed to protect my comforter, but I hate having to sleep under them since my cats sleep on my bed. I have tried so many cat hair remover brushes, gloves, and sponges that never worked. I was ready to shave the cats and call it a day. Then, along comes the ChomChom brush. It not only has a lint roller but a bar that collects the hair. I love the little hairball container of the roller, so I don’t have to spend time cleaning off the lint brush. I can’t believe this product works! I have an off-white couch, and I didn’t realize how much hair there was. After I used it, my couch looked lighter in color. I got my comforter cleaned off in minutes. It’s a simple and inexpensive way to cure your pet hair woes.” âDondi
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+Â (available in four colors).
9. A roll of peel-and-stick constellation wallpaper that’s simply out of this world! It’s even moisture- and steam-resistant, so you can put it up in your bathroom or kitchen.
Check out our roundup of the best places to buy wallpaper online.
Promising review: “Love, love, love this wallpaper!!! It is beautiful and unique, refined and elegant, and heavy-duty quality. I found it super easy to install, though I opted to use it for a room border versus full wall coverage. I also found it very forgiving, allowing me to pull it back off and adjust areas without leaving permanent dents in the design. It gave my sonâs bedroom a whole new look, and I have gotten lots of compliments on this wallpaper!” âMB
Get it from Amazon for $27.49 (available in frost, navy, and powder).
10. A lovely lavender and chamomileâscented linen spray whose paraben-free formula will give your sheets the little pick-me-up they need. The calming scent might also help relieve stress and help you fall asleep, especially if you spray it on your pillows.

Promising reviews:Â “I put it on my pillow 10 minutes or so before going to bed and it smells good. It relaxes me.” âM.O

Promising review:Â “These pillowcases are adorable! I feel like they add a great pop of color to my apartment. They are high quality, comfortable, and look much more expensive than they were. I rate this 10/10, so happy about this purchase!” âAva Vescovi
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+Â (available in two sizes).
12. A cute hand-shaped jewelry stand because your rings deserve to be on display and not just lying around whatever free surface you can find at the end of the day. This will also help to ensure you don’t lose your favorite statement pieces.Â
Promising review: “I love this product so much. I was actually a little surprised at how amazing the quality was when it arrived! The fingers are slightly different sizes so that you can store different sizes of rings, and they’re spaced perfectly, so I could fit all of my bulkier rings as well. The product is a hard plastic type of material and doesn’t feel like it could break easily. It’s also nice and sturdy, so you don’t have to worry about your rings flying everywhere if you accidentally bump it. Definitely gonna buy more soon to fit my other ring. đ I highly recommend purchasing!!” âKitty
Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in seven colors).
13. A stain-resistant and nonshedding colorful area rug that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to keep clean. Give your living room, entryway, or bedroom the pop of color it deserves!
Promising review: “Quite simply, I am in love with this rug. This is one of those rare instances in which the product looks way better in real life than it does in the online photos. The colors are beautiful â warm and soft at the same time. For such a flat rug, it’s got a luxurious, cushy feel to it. And there was absolutely no shedding whatsoever after I unfurled it. Fantastic rug at an incredibly reasonable price. I am delighted.” âAdam J. Sank

“So cleaning my oven is not my strong suit, but I ordered this, and it easily removed the spots from the oven window and the bottom of my oven! Definitely a keeper!” âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
17. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because all of life’s little messes should be quick and easy to clean. Say goodbye to those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains!Promising reviews: “I am really impressed by this carpet spot remover. I havenât found anything that works as well. I used it on pet stains that were months old. One treatment with this, and they were gone. Works exactly as promised.” âDiana L. Williams
“I seldom write product reviews, but I will in this case. The only reason I’m giving the Folex 5 stars is because there’s no place to give it 10. My dog, Sweetie, while playing on the tan carpeting in the family room, got hold of a blue Pilot G2 pen and chewed through the outer casing and through the ink cartridge, leaving an approximately 6-inch-by-12-inch area of carpeting splotched with blue ink. It took four or five applications, but following the label instructions to the letter, the spot was totally removed. Way to go, Folex. Outstanding!” âBob
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
18. A portable multipurpose Bissell carpet cleaner that’ll take care of those spots and stains on your carpets, 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: âWow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothersâ couches and look at the difference. It could use one more go to get to the âlooking like brand new,â 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 didnât 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.â âedina bajraktarevic
Get it from Amazon for $98.
19. An under-cabinet wineglass rack if you don’t have the actual cabinet space to keep your stemware organized. This easy-to-install rack will help you save some space in your kitchen!Promising review: “I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wine glasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fits the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!” âCycle Mom
Get it from Amazon for $19.93+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
20. A jetted tub cleaner scientifically engineered to get all the yuck from soap and body oil buildup out of your tub’s jets in 15 minutes!Promising review: “Oh my gosh! You think your tub is clean, and then you see what comes out with this! I followed the directions (fill tub over jets, pour in cleaner, turn on jets), and almost immediately, disgusting residue shot out. And then, more came out as the formula had time to circulate. So glad I got this cleaner instead of sitting in filth, especially because we just bought a new house, and I thought, ‘Maybe I should try to find out if there is a special cleaner for these tubs.’ Glad I did and can know my tub is cleaned out.” âAaron Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
21. An outlet wall plate with an LED light bar because it’ll turn any outlet into a night-light! And because it doesn’t require you to plug anything in, you still have ample outlet space for the things you need.
Amazon
Promising review: “I don’t like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath, and at night, with the bathroom door open, this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product.” âLMK
Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in three styles and three colors).
22. A lovely macrame tapestry whose bohemian aesthetic is sure to make your living space feel calm and inviting.Â
Promising review: “Nice size for a wall hanging. It’s easy to hang; I use small hooks to hold it up. Looks great in my boho guest room.” âWranglersRoost
Get it from Amazon for $15.78.
23. A thin electrical cover if you just bought a new couch and planned for it to sit flush against the wall but you’ve got cords plugged into an outlet that make that impossible.Â
Promising review: “The design of this is great. I always hated putting plugs behind furniture and either not using the plug or the furniture being inches away from the wall. This is the perfect solution. I have a few of these now behind couches and dressers in the house, and they are great. This is more expensive than some other flat extension cords, but I think the look and quality of these is worth it.” âAdam C.
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+Â (available in several styles).
24. A nontoxic pet urine stain removing spray to help you finally and fully reclaim your home from years-old dark spots on your couch and the scent of cat pee emanating from your rug.
Promising review: “I donât know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of ‘pet stain/odor remover’ products out there, but this, by far, is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5â$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if itâs a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then, I put a larger towel on top of it if itâs in a high-traffic area until itâs completely dry. Itâs taken out every stain, and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!” âShelly
Get it from Amazon for $19.31+ (available in two sizes).
25. A fast-acting mold and mildew remover so all you have to do is spray and watch as stains melt away. No scrubbing required! And you can say goodbye to any musty, damp smells too. Cleaning your bathtub just got a whole lot easier.
This can also be used on mold and mildew stains outside of your home!
Promising review: “We’ve been struggling with mold/mildew stains in our shower and front load washer for quite some time. Nothing bought at the grocery store or hardware store would work. We found this product and used as directed and wow, what a difference! This is the only product that has helped remove those stains. Highly recommended!” âDavid B. Neely
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and in multi-packs).
26. A tabletop waterfall fountain because you could use a little tranquility in your home. This decorative three-tiered fountain with river rocks has a submersible pump that automatically circulates water in order to prevent algae.
Promising review: “Awesome addition to my workspace environment. I’ve tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome. The pump is quiet, as is the water; it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours a day, use distilled water only, and clean it periodically, and it’s running just like new after several weeks. Not all of the fountains that I’ve tried work quite so well; I’m impressed and happy with this purchase. Six-month update: If I could give this thing 6 stars, I would. It runs so quietly, and I nearly let it go dry last weekend (three-day weekend and forgot to turn it off…) â once I filled it up again, it was just as quiet as ever. I’m beyond impressed. Still cleaning it periodically and using only distilled water.” âRod_CdA
Get it from Amazon for $44.99.
27. A bottle of Feed-N-Wax wood polish that’ll not only enhance your floor and furniture’s shine but also layer them with a protective coating of carnauba wax and beeswax, so there’s less polishing for you to do in the future.
Promising review: “I LOVED using this in my kitchen. It made my cabinets look like they were recently redone. I didn’t do anything extra; I just wiped my cabinets with my normal cleaner and then used this, and like magic, my kitchen was brand-new. I also used it on some shelving, banisters, and my hutch, and they all looked amazing. And the hutch wasn’t as annoying to dust for a while.” âtiffany b
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+Â (available in three sizes).
28. A pumice cleaning stone for scrubbing away toilet rings, limescale, and rust buildup from your porcelain throne (and other porcelain and ceramic surfaces).
Promising review: “I have a 19-year-old bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time, and regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove them. I decided to try this pumice stone, and it worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease. But 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching.” âHappy Retiree
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
29. Some gold and velvet barstools so anyone who sits at your counter feels like they’re sitting upon a (super comfy) throne.Promising review: “Iâve been looking for chairs similar to these for a few years now. They are the perfect size and match my decor beautifully. Came in excellent condition and very easy to assemble. Great value for the cost. They look high-end. Very pleased with my purchase.” âKrissy
Get it from Amazon for $149.88+ (available in five cushion colors and either gold or chrome finishes).
30. A super glam brass floor lamp with built-in side table because you shouldn’t have to choose between adding light or an extra surface area to your space if you don’t have the space for one of each. Well, now you can have two in one! Amazon
Promising review: “This is a fantastic lamp for a limited space. It assembles pretty easily and looks very stylish. The gold is a gorgeous color!” âEmily van den Berg
Get it from Amazon for $84.49.
31. A magical prismatic window film that’ll ~cast~ brilliant rainbows in your house whenever the sun shines through it. And for major bonus points, it’ll add a bit of privacy!
Promising review: “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.” âJ. B.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
32. An odor-eliminating Levoit air purifier because allergy season is fast approaching, and the last thing you need are allergens, dust, mold, and smoke to make this time of year even harder. Its three-stage HEPA filtration system will help keep your home’s air easy to breathe. This super quiet purifier even has a built-in night-light!
Promising review: “I struggle with terrible winter allergies. After several years of getting bronchitis at this time of year, swallowing two 24-hour allergy pills a day, and fighting with extremely painful ear infections, I HAD to try something new. I got this little thing hesitantly. I was worried it wouldnât work, or it would be too loud, but none of that has been the case. My headaches are gone. My stuffed-up nose in the morning is gone for the most part. No allergy pills are required. The volume is adjustable, and at its lowest, itâs barely noticeable. If you suffer like I have, please give this a try. I am so thankful I did.” âBunny
Get it from Amazon for $89.99Â (available in black and white).
33. A three-drawer accent dresser with mirrored fronts and geometric overlays sure to dazzle! And it’ll help you say “goodbye” to clutter.
Promising review: âBuy it!!!!! Absolutely stunning little dresser/night table. I am blown away by how well it’s made and how well it was packaged. You can see that the particleboard that it was packaged with on top is sturdier than most Ikea furniture! I love this style and have not been able to find anything like this in stores. Each piece is unique since it’s real wood! The drawers are soft-closing and deep. It comes ready to go aside from the legs, which you must attach. I had some issues and customer service was quick and solved my issue! I will be purchasing additional furniture from this company and have already recommended them to my sister. I can’t stop staring at it. â€ïžâ âCarmen Petru TudosaÂ
