50 Game-Changing Gifts for Renters

These are amazing! The box they arrived in was small, and they were wrapped really tightly. The pillows looked like pancakes at first, but they fluffed up a bit in a few hours. (Pro tip: Stand them upright to get them to fluff faster.) The pillows aren't super plushy or thick, but they are soft and give just enough support. You can squeeze them for more cushiness if you want it. The best part is that they really are cooler than most. All pillows will get warm eventually from body heat, but these ones stay cool a lot longer than any others that I've tried (and I've tried a lot of them). I would buy these again in a heartbeat, they're great. -Carrie G.

Available in multiple finishes and installable in minutes, this is the high-pressure rainfall showerhead that dreams are made of. Even better, it has a maximum outflow of 1.8 gallons per minute (GPM) so you can save on your water heater bill.

I should really be embarrassed by what I was using as measuring spoons before I got this magnetic set. I got clunky heart-shaped spoons that are attached to one another, only have a few sizes (which are hard to read anyway), don't fit into any jar, and rust a little more every time I wash them. I was so excited to find this magnetic spoon set because it was a major upgrade for me. They fit neatly in my drawer without being bulky or clanging around and do the job infinitely better. Measuring spoons may seem like a small detail in a kitchen, but I love these so much I will actually be adding them to any wedding shower gift I give from now on. -Laura W.

We've all got that box of baking soda in the back of the fridge, but it needs replacing every few months and doesn't always tackle those tough odors effectively. This refrigerator deodorizer is a major upgrade. It lasts for ten years! That means less waste and wear on the planet and a fridge that smells great for a decade.

We understand why there's a gap at the bottom of every door (it's so cats can reach under it when you're on one side and they're on the other), but those gaps allow drafts and noise to make their way into your house.

It seals off the gap so that noise and cold stay outside (with the bonus of keeping crafty bugs out, too).
