A two-tier, no-drill corner shower caddy for anyone whose tiny shower is no match for all of your roommates’ tubes and bottles.
Promising review: “I have a lot — and I mean a lot — of body washes. The thing that annoys me is that I have nowhere to set my shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles. I didn’t have any ledge in my shower so I decided to purchase a shower shelf. I must say, this shelf is everything to me. I like how easy it is to set up and how sturdy it is. I was very nervous setting anything on a shelf that is attached on suction cups but these suction cups are very powerful, even with the humidity of the shower. I have taken a shower every day since I installed this shelf on my wall and still holds up. I was able to put about five body washes, my shampoo, and conditioner bottles as well as my facial cleaners. It definitely holds up well. Because it’s made with a durable aluminum, you don’t have to worry about rust, which was something I worry about when being around water. —Adam Lopez

They also come in jumbo sizes for heavier-duty items and water-resistant versions ideal for hanging things up in your bath or shower!
amazon.com, Amazon
“I recently set up a little Command hook mask corner by my apartment door, and it has been SO HELPFUL — instead of rooting through my masks to find the one that matches best (I’m a vain critter at heart) I can see all the clean ones I have available right in front of me, and don’t forget to put it on when I’m in a rush. I also use it to hang my sports masks after I sanitize them and am waiting for them to dry! As for how the Command hooks work — these have an adhesive on the back for easy application to the wall, which you can pull down on once you’re ready to uninstall it without doing any damage to the wallpaper or paint.” —Emma Lord, BuzzFeed Staff

These Command products are the greatest! I recently found one of the unused adhesive tabs in the pocket of something that had gone through the washer and dryer and it STILL worked! ! ! Thanks for a terrific, easy-to-use product.” —LJE

A power perch to reduce clutter around the sink, avoid long tangles of power cables, and keep your electronics a little farther away from wet surfaces.
Amazon
Promising review: “If you have gizmos that need to perch near their outlet (hubs for smart lights, voice assistants, electric toothbrushes or shavers), then this is a great product that elevates these items off the countertop or floor. Installation is easy; the two pieces slide together, you remove the existing outlet cover, and then the new outlet panel provides the holding power for the shelf. If the plugs you have for your devices aren’t oversized squares or don’t need to share the outlet with a Wi-Fi booster, then this product is 5-star. I had a Wi-Fi booster that had to share the outlet with an oversized plug and it’s a little snug but they fit!” —2lilac2

A fog-free mirror you can suction right to the wall, adjust to the angle you need, and even store your razor on so shaving in the shower is a breeze.
Promising review: “I love that I’m able to angle the mirror. I’m short and my boyfriend is tall. Our previous fog free mirror was a little too high for me and a little too low for him but we compromised. With this though… it’s perfect!! I can angle it down to suite my height or he can angle it up for his. I didn’t need the sticker it came with but its cool that it came with it just in case the suction wasn’t working. It’s pretty easy to install. I wiped the tile with alcohol and wet the suction cup a little and bam, it’s on.” —Vivi

Or some faux ivy that’ll make a de-VINE addition to any room that needs a little touch of green — without the maintenance of real plants!
Promising review: “These vines are perfect for adding a pop of greenery to any room. They drape nicely over curtain rods and are easy to hang. I like that they come bound with a little bread tie so they are not tangled. They arrive in a ziplock plastic bag, which you could also use for storage. They do smell bad right out of the bag — a typical plasticky fake garland smell — but honestly, the smell faded within hours, and it’s totally worth it because they are high quality. The plastic part is thin and not bulky like some fake vines and garlands I’ve purchased, and the leaves feel silky — that’s why these drape easily and delicately, and they don’t look cheap. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I’m planning to buy more!” —T. Nicole Cirone

I was a little leery about hanging them because people posted so many different ways of arranging them, but I reached out to Joey and he showed me the simplest way! He was so kind and responsive. Super friendly seller! I would absolutely purchase from him again and recommend his work!” —Kristine Tran

A three-chamber soap dispenser to clear the edge of your tub of all of those half-empty, upside down tubes of body wash and shampoo just waiting for you to knock them over.
The dispenser can be mounted in the corner of your shower or flat on one of the walls. Waterproof silicone adhesive and two-way tape comes included.
Promising review: “I’ve purposefully waited several months to review this product because of some of the other reviews about longevity. These dispensers are one of those ‘golden products’ you find on Amazon! I keep saying to myself, ‘Why didn’t I do something like this a decade ago!’ These pumps are easy to install, easy to clean, easy to setup, and attractive. We’ve run all sorts of types of liquid through them, and it hasn’t skipped a beat. MAKE SURE you prime the pumps before using, otherwise you’ll probably think they’re non-functional or broken. Instructions to prime are inside the lid of each pump. It’s very easy. My last comment is that I decided to not use any of the adhesive or mounting tools that were included. I’ve used waterproof Command Strips the two times I’ve moved them. I used four on each pump and have had ZERO issues. These are truly amazing!” —Droubs

Promising review: “Love this whiteboard calendar! It was packaged well and securely. I originally ordered two other calendars and returned those and kept this one — we find this to be the perfect size to track two people’s schedules. The notes section on the right is great for to-do lists and we don’t have to write anything teeny-tiny. The thin gold frame is a nice touch and it looks great hanging on our wall.” —Haley
