A roll of marble contact paper for all of your DIY projects: makeover your kitchen counters, spruce up a boring picture frame, update a plain side table…the possibilities are endless!
Target
Promising review: “I used it as a cheap, temporary cover for my bathroom counters. I hated the original countertop. Replacing is not in the budget right now. This made for a quick and easy change from the current counter. It has only been a week, but is so far holding up. I am not too worried if it does not last long, it was cheap and I had extra. I would think this would be perfect for a rental where you cannot do permanent updates to the property.” –Fiddlesticks47
Price: $5.99

A power scrubber that’ll brighten up dirty, dingy tile grout that hasn’t been deep-cleaned in ages. You’ll be amazed at how sparklingly white your grout is!
Target
Promising review: “I just got this product and it performed a miracle on my grout. I’ve tried so many brushes/products and nothing worked. Just mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to create a paste (needs to be thick if the tiles are on the wall). Apply the paste to the grout lines and leave for 10 min (don’t let it dry out because the scrubber will scrape it off and there won’t be enough product to work with). Finally use the scrubber to clean the grout. The pointy one works better on thin lines. Make sure you press and point from all angles (was a bit of an arm workout to do a large area). Although I used it only on grout so far I’m sure it will be helpful in cleaning around edges and corners in general. I don’t write reviews often but this product is well worth its price. I’m planning on getting a backup because I don’t want to live life without it.” –Sofia

Promising review: “My closet space was very limited so I bought this to add room. This has been a lifesaver! The double hanging rack really helps. I just wish the racks had a little more room for longer items. However, the racks support quite a bit of weight. Also, I appreciate the shelving. I added cubbies on the shelves for more storage. I would recommend this item!” –long225

Promising review: “These curtains were about five dollars a panel. To find sheer white long curtains at that price is amazing. My daughter recently bought a house and we put these in her living room. We put two panels on each window. They look very clean and very nice. Once they hung up for a day or two the wrinkles fell out. For this price they are a must-have if you’re looking for sheer white curtains.” –TinaC

Target
Promising review: “This Waterpik showerhead is absolutely my new favorite thing. I suddenly don’t know how I survived so many years without a hand-held sprayer in my shower. Cleaning up the kids and furry creatures is a million times easier. The hose to the hand-held nozzle is a great length and reaches down to my smallest puppy (4 lbs). This nozzle even makes cleaning the shower easier. The standard fixed mounted nozzle also has six different sprays; my favorite is the power pulse massage power spray! The whole system was super easy to install. I did it myself with no prior plumbing experience and it took 15 minutes. I love this shower head.” –staceys

Promising review: “Finally received my PUR Classic Faucet Filtration System and it was worth the wait! First of all I was worried I would have trouble installing it but it was so easy. It provides you with several adapters so that it’s guaranteed to fit. Then you just twist it on. It has a little switch to change from regular tap water to your filtration system so you’re only using it when you need to. The filter is simple to change and it even tells you when it’s time to change the filter. And of course the water tastes amazing. So fresh and clean. It’s a cute little design that goes great with your kitchen decor too.” –Yumadreams928

Promising review: “I’ve had the JBL Smartlink Portable for a few weeks now. I’d recommend it to anyone. The sound is great and it can easily be picked up and carried around the house. The charging cradle that it sits in is one of the best features. I didn’t pay attention to that when purchasing, but it turns out that is a standout feature I wouldn’t want to live without. I don’t have to plug the speaker in and out whenever I move it, you see. I can just grab the speaker without fiddling with cords and plugs. Fantastic!” –Chris in Portland

Promising review: “This was my first multi-cooker purchase. And it did not disappoint! I love the versatility of it! I’ve used the air fryer several times and it works beautifully! It’s a great value! I was thinking I’d have to get a separate machine for pressure cooking, another for air frying and a slow cooker! But with this, it’s all together! Perfect for my kitchen with limited storage… even though it is quite large. But it’s nice to be able to fit things like a whole chicken or a large roast! The best part? Most of the parts are dishwasher-safe. Makes cleanup a breeze!” –Jazmini
