A set of Snug Plugs if your computer charger slips out every time you plug it into an outlet. Pop this right in the outlet for a tighter fit and watch your charging woes poof out of thin air.
An oil stain remover that'll deeply penetrate and lift out the eyesore contaminating your driveway. Reviewers say it works *better* than a pressure washer to remove those dark, stubborn stains.
Or some concrete paint reviewers use for garages, driveways, basements, and patios. It's designed to be slip-resistant, highly durable, and resist staining from chemicals, oil, and gasoline. Your concrete floors will look smoother and shinier just two hours after applying it!
A lightweight extension pole with a trimming saw so you can reach those pesky branches that are just out of reach. It's cheaper than hiring a landscaper *and* you'll have full control over which branches are getting the chopping block.
A roll of faux ivy if you want to make your outdoor patio more ~vibey~ and private. Now you won't have to act like you didn't just hear your neighbor walk out to avoid awkward small talk when all you want to do is jam out to SZA in private.
Cordless pleated paper shades that require no tools to install so you can revamp your bedroom that gets way too much sunlight in the mornings. Not only will you sleep better, but you'll also get more privacy! Now your neighbors won't see if you have a Risky Business dance break in your living room or not.
A window film so you can have the privacy of curtains while still allowing the natural light to shine through and shimmer during ~golden hour~. Plus, it's super easy to install — just peel and stick!
A mold-removal gel if there's any leftover grime in your front-loading washing machine gasket. You can let the gel sit overnight before laundry day, then wipe up *all* of that yucky grossness with a paper towel.
A portable mini washer/dryer if your place didn't come with one and you don't feel like lugging your stuff to a laundromat — and pay $4 or MORE for a single load. This will practically pay itself the more you use it, so your $$$ can go toward your overpriced iced oat latte instead. And just think, you won't be sweating from carrying around your mountain of dirty clothes... Talk about an underrated luxury.
Plus a portable clothesline with 12 attached clips if you're super careful about how you dry delicate clothing and want to make sure it doesn't shrink in the dryer. Plus, it'll be perfect for fitted sheets, hoodies, or coats that still feel damp after running them through the dryer.
A standing weeder so you don't have to bend over and possibly throw your back out when clearing out those pesky plants. As you *stand* with the tool over the weed, center it, press it into the ground, lean the handle back, and ~voila~ — it's gone!

Dishwasher-cleaning tablets because they clean what you can't reach easily (or at all), like your machine's tub, racks, pump and valve, and drain. If you've got funky odors coming out of your dishwasher, it's time to toss one of these in, run a cycle, and witness that yucky smell poof out of existence!
A foaming garbage disposal cleaner since those years' worth of lingering odors make you gag (and might *also* attract gnats). Those foul smells will be gone in an instant once you send one of these foaming lemon packets down the drain with some hot water.
Plus a garbage disposal brush if you just finished cooking a big meal and you sent the scraps down the drain. This will help clean up every last bit of food and make sure you don't lose a finger in the process!

A water-mark-removing cloth so you don't have to stare at the white ring on your wooden end table after forgetting to use a coaster ONCE. It works so well that even reviewers describe it as a "miracle"!
A fillable touch-up paint pen for marks, dings, and scrapes that are just bumming you out when you walk into the room. You can even fill it with the *exact* paint you used on your walls!
Or a container of touch-up paint if you don't have leftover paint for the mark on your wall — and you still want to cover up that eyesore. This is way better than getting a huge bucket of paint since it's smaller and easier to store for future use.
Some wood scratch cover that'll help protect and restore discolored wood blend so any noticeable dings look way better. One reviewer even said it helped the scratches on their baby grand piano nearly undetectable!
And for less intense scratches, a set of wood repair markers for your furniture, desks, and cabinets because wear and tear is inevitable. You'll turn thrifted furniture all pretty again by just coloring in the scratches!

A jetted tub cleaner that'll make you say "Yuck" after seeing the gunk it gets out of your pipes. Skip the game of chance and run this through your bathtub before using the jets to avoid a not-so-enjoyable bath. You'll feel squeaky clean and ensure a super relaxing bath after using this!
A rotating handle snake cleaner tool to take that stubborn log of ick out of your drain and into the garbage (where it belongs forever). The "micro-hook" plus the rotating handle can help get anything out, so you don't have to hire a $$$ plumber. But, fair warning... you will be disgusted by what comes out.
A small but mighty plunger perfect for your showers, bathtubs, and sinks because your normal plunger (with a super long handle) just won't fit — and who wants toilet water touching literally anything anyway? It'll surely help move whatever's lodged in your drain.
A ~flexible~ grabber tool reviewers say helped fish out things like hair, toothpaste caps, makeup brushes, and even acorns. If you have clogs deep in a U-bend pipe, this could easily do the trick!
A set of three scrubbing attachments you can attach to power drills so your bathtubs, grout, and shower walls are cleaned *much* faster. Not to mention more easily, too.

A bottle of wallpaper stripping spray if you want to change up the vibe of your walls without it taking forever. This will melt away any lingering residue and *not* corrode the paint on your walls in the process.
Bissel stain-lifting pads designed to permanently remove stubborn pet stains that make your carpet look a little icky. Just stomp on it to release the formula on tough stains, and leave it for up to 24 hours. Once you peel off the pad, the stain will be gone!
An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that makes harsh smells and very visible stains from cat or dog pee disappear on carpet, fabric, tile floors, and non-leather furniture. You'll turn that ammonia scent into a delightful citrus one, thanks to the orange oil!
And if a funky odor is still lingering, a UV black-light flashlight to light up any surface that wasn't *fully* cleaned. Instead of trying to track down the smell with your nose, the flashlight will be faster (and less traumatizing). Because who wants to smell dog pee up close?
A jar of The Pink Stuff you'll have on stand-by the next time you want an easier cleaning job. This can make grease, permanent marker, grime, pen, rust, and crayons disappear on stoves, kitchen floors, bathtubs, grills, wood, glass shower doors, AND MORE. It's a tub of magic, essentially.
A carpet cleaning solution designed to work with many vacuum machines and rentals so you can kiss deep-set stains goodbye. It'll eliminate any suspect odors and leave your home smelling like spring mint, fresh summer, or light lavender!
And a 2-in-1 Hoover carpet cleaner so you can not only extract pet hair that's deep inside your carpet, but also spot-treat any stains. Just push it forward to dispense the cleaning solution (and suck up the grime) and then pull it back to dry. No triggers or buttons, it's all automatic!
A set of Sticky Stake insect traps that'll make you gag and wonder how you ever went without one. These work like utter magic to catch fruit flies, gnats, and any other thing that are buzzing around. Next time you snore with your mouth open, you won't wake up in a sweat wondering if you swallowed a fly.
Or a pack of two ready-to-use fruit fly traps if you don't want the remains of those pesky bugs on full display. Reviewers say this worked fast and solved their fruit fly problem.

A pack of six nontoxic pantry moth traps with pheromones to attract these unsettling bugs to their death so you don't have to whip out a fly swatter (or flip flop) in your kitchen. Just let it work its magic and toss it after your problem is solved — how easy!
And a window fly trap so you can put down your swatter or dish rag when bug season gets the best of your home. This efficient catcher will be like the pet frog you *almost* bought for this problem.
A drywall repair putty that'll ~roll~ over the very visible nail holes from that time you misjudged where to hammer — and quickly fix them. It's also *perfect* for renters because: paying for this > not getting your security deposit back.
A garage door sensor shade for certain Genie models because they might not be working thanks to the sun's mighty glare. Don't worry, though; this will help it get back in perfect order.
A set of heavy-duty hangers reviewers use to help hang up lights, plants, and cute accent pieces to make their vinyl siding a little more exciting. This requires *no* drilling and is super easy to install!

A clear toy blocker because despite your ~pawfect~ throw, toys always end up underneath furniture and other dusty, crumb-ridden areas when playing with your pet. You can install these to avoid that frustration and cut them to fit any space perfectly — plus, they can be removed without leaving behind any residue, washed, and stuck back in place without losing their stickiness or causing damage!
A fireplace cleaner kit that comes with a brush so you can remove soot, ash, and grime that's making your cozy fireplace look straight out of a haunted mansion. Reviewers say they got amazing results, and it required minimal effort!
