My Life Changed When I Bought These 28 Useful Household Items
A few years ago, my husband and I built a house. Since then, I've been on a mission to find household items that'll make my life easier. (Bonus points if they're also chic.) I try to be selective, as Amazon could easily take all my money if I'm not careful, but there are certain items I honestly don't know how I lived without. In fact, I'd reorder these things in a second if something happened to them—they're seriously that good.
Since I'm in no mood to gatekeep, I'm sharing some of my tried-and-true finds with you. I hope they'll provide the solution you've been looking for or be the source of some great housewarming gift ideas. With that, keep scrolling to shop some of my favorite home items, starting at just $7 (I promise that even the pricier items are worth it).
This toaster oven looks so chic, and it makes everything taste better. It's worth every penny. I don't know how I lived without it.
These simple glasses are my go-tos, and the price point is great.
I'm obsessed with this candle. It smells amazing and has the prettiest glow.
Call me crazy, but my Dyson actually makes me look forward to vacuuming.
I just got this for our guest bedroom. It's the perfect slim, discreet design.
I don't know where other people keep unsightly toilet paper, but this is how I store mine.
This set makes even the simplest salad seem fancy.
This cozy blanket is essential since I'm someone who's always freezing (even in the middle of July).
I hate to admit it, but I kept my mail on the floor before ordering this.
I bought several cheap frothers before finally investing in this high-quality one three years ago. It has yet to break.
I learned the hard way (many times) that there's nothing worse than a fruit fly landing in a fresh glass of wine.
It's so important to have gift-wrapping materials on hand. Every bottle of wine I give is encased in one of these jute sacs (and everyone loves it).
My phone loves in this stand when it's on my desk, and it feels like such an upgrade to my workstation.
I use these lovely bins in my closet and in my living room.
These are much nicer to look at than the bottles cleaning supplies come in.
It isn't the cheapest way to store dog food, but I have no regrets.
You know you've reached a new stage in your life when things like this get you excited.
If you're in the market for new hangers, these get my vote.
I ordered these for our backyard after noticing all of the cool restaurants in NYC had similar ones.
I'm obsessed with these because wet coasters drive me crazy.
This is so chic that I keep it on display in our kitchen rather than hide it away.
