items Getting the new house is hard enough, then you have to find all the best stuff for it! Hopefully this helps! Complete transparency, I'm biased since a loved one works at Ace Hardware. So several of these are links to their products. You could get a lot of these elsewhere too, but it is really nice to support the more locally owned stor...

Awesome Things
Funny as a gag gift, but honestly also a great little resource to have!
The Home Owner's Manual
We've had ours for 5 years and it still works great! Really is nice to cook 2 things separately!
2-Basket Air Fryer with Independent Baskets
Cleaning/Safety
These are a game changer! When it's the time of year for gnats and flied, it's just hard to get rid of them! I hate dealing with traps but these are so easy and pain-free! We have one of these lighting up our hallway as a nightlight. You can get mult... I've seen big packs at costco too, but we usually get them at ace so I'm not sure the price difference.
Zevo Flying Insect Trap 1 ct
This is currently sitting on our kitchen sink, probably has been for about a year? We had ants try to invade at one point to where the one sided just wasn't enough in the kitchen. With this though, things have been much better managed! Also having a ... It doesn't have to break the bank, but gives you piece of mind!
Zevo Max Flying Insect Trap
I'm sure someone will tell me this is not the correct way to use a shop vac, but I use this as my usual vacuum! We already have Stihl batteries from other products, so this came right into the fold. I have a hard time getting our traditional vacuum to have enough power to get all the small stuff up, or it can't fit in the weird spaces between furniture. This has just been so much easier!
STIHL Shop Vacs
Prior to the shop vac, this was my go-to. The battery is smaller and different on this one as heads up. I still use this when I need something light, easier, high up, or in my car. They're great products from my experience.
STIHL Cordless Hand Vacuum
Wow! Just got this since we have so many rugs now and what a game changer! We have an old rug with old pet stains, and this did wonders! I would say it got about 80% of the stains out, fixed the texture and you wouldn't notice anything unless you kne... Also, loved that even the box this came in had instrctuions on how to make it a cat toy?? How cute!
BISSELL Little Green Mini Portable Cleaner
This was a great price and now I have them all over the house and have given them as a gift! Thankfully have not needed these, but I am all prepared with this and an extinguisher just in case!
Fire Blanket for Kitchen and Home
This is also stashed in a couple spots around the house; it was easier to store than the full extinguisher
First Alert EZ Fire Spray/ Extinguishing
Worth having for cat safety! I've heard too many horror stories of cats hopping up when the stove is still hot after use, so I'd perfer having this for peace of mind. Plus it helps protect the stove top from scratches and damange.
Stove Cover
I had a metal version of this in my old house, mainly to help protect my kitchen counter edges since they were just a composite wood (cheap and rough around the edges). I think it definitely helped and this silicone version looks even better. Also, for sure helps prevent crumbs or other things getting stuck in the gap for the stove/oven.
Silicone Stove Counter Gap Cover / Filler
At first I just wanted a way to have an extra plug to put a freezer right by my fridge, but honestly it makes me feel better knowing that these appliances are now protected!
Refrigerator Surge Protector
Office
I received mine as a xmas gift but this looks like it. I've had mine for 2-3 years now and love it! I like to pair this with my walking pad to get some movement in while I do certain tasks on my laptop. I really enjoy jamming to some music videos while walking, and maybe planning my next trip at the same time :) They have different colors and sizes for whatever your space needs!
Standing Desk, Adjustable Height Office Desk
Love this to give my standing desk some more space!
Dual Monitor Stand Riser
I revieved this as a xmas gift, so may not be this model but I love mine that's very similar! It's perfect for under my standing/adjustable desk so I can easily get a walk in! Perfect for days where it's too hot, cold, rainy, or dark outside where yo...
Walking Pad for Home - Under Desk Treadmills
Lots of cute options, rest your wrists and personalize your desk!
Keyboard Mouse Pad Set
Just added this to my home office and it's so cute and comfortable!
Cloud Keyboard Wrist Rest
Decor
Just got these and so far love them! I'm waiting a few days to make sure they stay up well before ordering more for our home, but so far so good! It took a few minutes to get it up and secured properly. It's easier with 2 sets of hands, but overall, a quick process! They have a few different neutral colors and many different sizes!
No Drill Top Down Bottom Up Roman Shades Grey
We got these are they were nice and easy to install! It was nice to use brackets that didn't have to be measured or mess up the wall. We got them in black, I think there is silver too.
TAP BRACKET As Curtain Bracket
Love this so far! Took longer than I imagined to put together but it was worth it! Looks great and has good storage
Black Over the Toilet Storage, Bathroom Cabinet
Really like mine and have given one as a gift! Feels safer than lighting and candle, especially with cats around!
Candle Warmer Lamp
We have a 2-set of these and they've been really nice! The shelves work well for storage, the lights have color options, and they're overall pretty cheap and light to move
Floor Lamp with Shelves
This is great for some privacy! I've used these for bathrooms and my office. Easy to install and easy to remove! And when the sun hits it right, rainbows all over!
Rainbow Window Privacy Film
I love these, perfect for displaying records as wall art!
Vinyl Record Display Set - Clear Shelves
Personally really like this scent, but there are others to pick too! It's a nice affordable option too or a great gift!
Mountain Moss Room Spray
Really like the Moss Mountian scent but there are others too and $5 for a candle is way better than some other places! Great thing for yourself or a gift!
