43 Things That Make Your Stuff Look A Lot Better Than Before

Amazon

It doesn't happen often — but every now and then, I get the itch to upgrade everything in my home. Is it fun? Yes. Is spending tons of money on new things fun, too? No, not really. That's why I've come up with this list of affordable Amazon products that help make your stuff look better than before.

But what does it mean to "make your stuff look better"? For one, it can mean making the items around your home and vehicle function more efficiently. In fact, the very first item I've selected for this list is a blackout curtain designed for your car (the backseat — not the windshield). It's great for small children and babies, or even just a sleepy adult trying to take a nap.

Or, if you're simply trying to upgrade the stuff you already have, make sure to check out the sponges that erase deodorant marks from your clothes. Trying to scrub away at them with your hands never works as well as you'd hoped, and the sponges don't even require any liquids or cleansers. The best part? They're also completely reusable.

It you're trying to spruce up a few dull possessions — or looking to give your items a quick upgrade — there are tons of brilliant products on Amazon that can help get the job done.
