Itty-bitty, collapsible storage crates in soothing pastel colors to give your knickknacks the vinyl record treatment. Listen, you don't have to throw away your mountain of pilfered condiment packets, but they'd look a lot nicer in one of these. A pair of fan light pull cords so you can finally know which turns on the fan and which turns on the light. What an ~illuminating~ product! A set of extra mini drawers that clip onto your shelves so you can easily grab what you need instead of having to remove half the contents of your fridge just to get to the mayo. A set of massively popular double-brushed microfiber sheets so soft and cuddly, you'll feel like you're staying at a 5-star hotel. You'll forget aaaalll about thread count when you slide into these sheets. A ceramic swan that will graciously sit next to your sink, looking beautifully elegant. And if you ask nicely, it'll hold your sponge or bar of soap. Also, check out this swan it from Urban Outfitters for $16. Rail-hanging flower pots so you can put your green thumb to use. You get 10 beautifully colored little pots so you can plant as much as your little heart desires. They also have drainage holes to keep soil drained and ventilated.

It's much cuter than a traditional cat tree and will ideally help you avoid any more shredded furniture. A Pink Princess philodendron, a once-rare and still-extremely-coveted variegation in the houseplant community that will bring a pop of color to your home. What was once an impossible find is now yours — somehow for under $30. A three-pack of color drip candles that reveal more and more hues the longer they're lit. What a delightful surprise! Promising review: "Love these candles! Don't be deterred by the candles out the box, though they are mostly white on the outside there are lots of primary color pockets on the inside. They do take a while to burn (three to four hours by my count) but the results are by far worth being patient for. As the flame works through the candle, the primary color pockets blend with the white as well as with each other to create a wide range of colors...I've seen yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, greens, and blues on my finished bottles." —5ammosh Get six candles from Amazon for $13.52. A rapid egg cooker so you can stop settling for overcooked hardboiled eggs with gross gray yolks. You deserve better. Along with hardboiled eggs, this thing can make omelets and poached and scrambled eggs, all without close supervision. A book lamp that fits neatly onto your bookshelf so you don't have to worry about mounting, electrical work, or other tiresome chores that aren't cuddling up with a book. The linen-shaded lamp comes with a long, 8-inch cord that you can easily snake through the back of your bookcase. A jalapeño corer so you can get rid of unwanted seeds in seconds and minimize the risk of you slicing your hand open. Best to get this step done ASAP so you can enjoy some jalapeño poppers in record time. Promising review: "Not sure why I didn't know about this nifty gadget before! I'm obsessed!! I make jalapeño poppers AT LEAST once a week, and it has always been a little time-consuming! This gadget has cut my prep time by more than half!!! Such great quality and love that it's dishwasher safe! You don't have to work hard to get stems and seeds out. Only takes about 10-15 seconds per pepper, and it's completely cleaned out! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $7.99. Brick whitewash paint if the last tenants were way more into the color brown than you. Fireplaces, brick walls, and more are just a few brushstrokes away from being transformed into chic, cafe-worthy focal points. An expandable, cabinet-lining, two-tier shelf that will make every bottle you own visible and easily accessible. You'll never have to settle for paprika when you wanted smoked paprika ever again. A fancy switch plate cover because HELLO everything in your home should be as fancy as you are. Luxury is just one screwdriver away. A magnetic fridge wrap offering an easy way to add some seasonal color to your kitchen without having to figure out how stick-on backsplashes work. The custom vinyl wrap is renter friendly *and* hides all the fingerprints your fridge has accumulated.

A magic cleaning potion is here to banish that foe! Apply the formula, let it dry, then brush it away to reveal a stain-free surface. A TV cord cover because you didn't go through the trouble of mounting your TV just to stare at an ugly cord. If wires are distracting you from your shows, this covering will help them blend into the wall. White caulk tape if you've noticed (and proceeded to ignore) some cracks in your previous caulk job. Use the waterproof sealing tape to fill in gaps before they get any worse and unwanted guests see the bug equivalent of a vacancy sign. Reviewers say this is easier and cleaner looking than liquid caulk, so there's no excuse to keep putting this off! A charming waterproof shelf liner to protect your fridge from stains (or hide existing ones) and give it a little glow-up. Who knew the inside of a fridge could be Cottagecore linen curtains perfect for your open cabinets, above your kitchen sink, or anywhere that could use a little Oz magic (being hidden behind a curtain). A CovoBox made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood that's hollow on the inside, so you can hide your router, cable box, or other unsightly wires. Now you can look neat *and* well-read. A Tibet Almond scratch remover stick that you can apply like ChapStick for your furniture. The colorless balm can help hide light scratches, watermarks, and water stains from wood, bamboo, glass, and more. Just open the can, remove the wrapper, and start rubbing the stick on unsightly marks. A crack weeder tool if your home looks like it's trying out to star in the next season of The Last of Us. The L-shaped head can sneak into tight spaces and tear out the weeds, moss, and stubborn roots that have rudely taken up residence in your sidewalk.

Lay a pad on an unwanted blemish, stomp, toss the pad, and admire your pee-free carpet. It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet related) and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now." —MCGet a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.99. An automatic soap dispenser that's one part convenient and nine parts adorable. It's basically a practical snow globe! When you put your hand underneath, the dispenser lights up and spits out foamed soap. It can be attached to a wall or placed on a counter. Promising review: "I bought this because it made me laugh uncontrollably. It is really good quality though and works great!

This handy tool will free your roller from its hairy prison so it can proceed up more hair. Sorry, "vacuum doesn't work" isn't an excuse to avoid cleaning anymore!

Promising review: "It so cute and adds undeniable charm to a room! I've had so many compliments and people asking where I bought it. If you like whimsical, this is for you." —DerbyGirlGet it from Anthropologie for $268.

These Comfy, Lightweight $42 Jeans Are as ‘Soft as Sweatpants' and the Only Denim I'm Packing for Summer Trips

If you typically avoid wearing jeans in the summer, you're not alone. While I usually live in jeans, once the weather turns warm, I almost always opt for shorts, skirts, or breathable linen pants. However, I've recently felt inspired to try out a pair of lightweight, summer-ready jeans, and I found the perfect pair at Amazon. I live in NYC, and I've been spotting drawstring jeans all over the city. The laid-back style pairs well with breezy linen blouses, simple tanks, and swimsuits. After searching for the perfect pair to add to my summer wardrobe, I've finally spotted the ideal drawstring jeans—and they're available at Amazon for under $50. Now, the Grapent Wide-leg Drawstring Jeans are at the top of my wishlist. These jeans first caught my eye thanks to their stylish wide-leg silhouette. Not only does this cut give an elevated appearance to any outfit, but it also means the jeans will feel breezier than fitted styles. I love the elastic waistband and drawstring detail, which will ensure a comfy fit, whether I'm sitting for extended periods or walking the streets of a stylish destination. Plus, plenty of reviewers praise the 'lightweight' feel of these jeans, and one shopper even wrote that they 'feel like sweatpants.' These jeans come in 13 different colors, including traditional blue hues, black washes, and even bubblegum pink. I'm adding a few different pairs to my cart, including dark blue and white options. I'll pair them with sneakers, sandals, and summery flats depending on the occasion. For petite shoppers, they would also pair well with heels, although based on reviews, I anticipate them being a bit too short to do so at 5-foot-7. While the Grapent Wide-leg Drawstring Jeans are currently holding the No. 1 spot on my summer wishlist, I'm eyeing a few more styles at some of my favorite retailers, including Madewell and Keep reading for more comfy and breezy jeans, trousers, and pants I'm adding to my cart. These drawstring jeans are even airier than the Grapent pair, thanks to the breathable lyocell fabric. This dark wash is so trendy and easy to style for summer, but these jeans are also offered in three other shades, including black. One reviewer called these jeans 'perfect for late spring in Florida,' so they're sure to withstand hot conditions, too. More than 1,000 shoppers purchased these linen-blend pants this month, and I think it's about time I join them. The thick elastic waistband is 'forgiving' and 'comfortable,' and the fitted waist complements the flowy, wide silhouette of the pant leg. According to reviewers, these pants are breathable enough to keep you cool in hot weather, so they're ideal for warm destinations. They come in 23 colors, but this natural shade is my favorite, since it's versatile enough to style with anything in my travel capsule wardrobe. These breathable cotton-linen pants are effortless and timeless, so I know I'll reach for them all summer long. While I don't have any big vacations on the calendar, these pants would be ideal for tropical destinations. One reviewer purchased a pair for their trip to the Philippines and loved them so much they decided to buy multiple. Choose from eight different colors, but keep in mind the lighter colors may be slightly see-through thanks to the lightweight fabric. Cargo pants have been in style for years, and it seems like the trend is only growing. This pair puts a sleeker spin on the trend, with minimal pockets and traditional cargo stitching. They're made of 100 percent cotton, so they'll be lightweight and breathable enough for summer days. I also love the coffee bean color, which will pair well with sporty T-shirts and lacy blouses alike. I love how these drapey Madewell jeans puddle at the floor, giving them a laid-back and elongated appearance. They feature a denim drawstring that looks slightly more sophisticated than typical drawstring jeans, but they provide the same adjustability to ensure the perfect fit. According to reviewers, the cotton-lyocell fabric is super soft and lightweight enough for summer. These classic linen pants come in nine vacation-ready colors, and I couldn't help but add a few to my cart. I especially love the butter yellow and navy color, although I'll also snag a versatile neutral. The linen fabric is lightweight and breathable, making it the perfect summer staple. Plus, the pants come equipped with four pockets, which are perfect for holding essentials. Pleated trousers have been on my wishlist for a while, and I'm eyeing this linen version from Anthropologie. They feature a super wide leg, which will keep things breezy, along with the linen fabric. I plan on pairing these pants with fitted tanks, tube tops, and cropped tees for laid-back, vacation-ready outfits that still look put-together. Love a great deal?
