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 stores when you can!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
