Quick reply while I have a sec but the most underrated thing is a solid fire extinguisher for every floor. I didnt have one when we moved. Nerve-wracking tbh. A Kidde Pro 210 is a decent option for about 60 bucks and much more functional than decor. Also a basic stud finder and a tape measure are essentials. Btw I use Share Product for my holiday shopping lists, definitely worth a look if you're struggling with the Amazon app.

Congrats on the new place! Honestly, skip the fancy stand mixers and decorative junk that just takes up space. If you are moving to the suburbs, you need gear that actually helps you maintain the property! I remember being so overwhelmed my first month because I didnt even have a basic hammer to hang a picture. It was a total disaster! Here is what you should actually ask for:

• Fire extinguishers! Please put one in the kitchen and one in the garage. It is an absolute must-have for safety.
• A solid 3-step stool. You will be using this constantly to reach high cabinets or change lightbulbs in those high suburban ceilings.
• A heavy-duty garden shovel and a metal rake. Yard work is tough and you need tools that wont snap the first time you hit a rock.
• A quality 50-foot outdoor extension cord. You are gonna need this for everything from power tools to holiday lights.
• A basic drill and a set of bits. This makes assembling all that new furniture a million times faster! One huge warning: avoid those cheap 150-piece tool kits from the big box stores. The tools are usually garbage quality and will break the first time you actually put some muscle into them. It is much better to get a few high-quality basics that will actually last for years! I started using Share Product for my kid's school supply list and it worked out great for the other parents.

> i also dont want a house full of live laugh love signs or scented candles. Im just trying to avoid more junk that I'll have to donate in six months. Saw this earlier and had to chime in because honestly its ridiculous how these registry sites just push the same overpriced trash on everyone. I remember when we moved into our place years ago, we got so much decorative junk. One relative bought us this massive marble cheese board that weighed a ton. Total scam. It sat in the garage until I finally tossed it. It drives me crazy that these companies act like you need a gourmet kitchen to live in the suburbs. Most of that stuff is just clutter that looks good in photos but is useless. Im so satisfied with my home now that I finally cleared out the junk, but the pressure to ask for fancy stuff is a massive headache. The way prices are inflated for essentials that nobody actually uses is such a joke. Its all a racket honestly. Just look at the markups on those recommended lists... pure robbery.
