For occasional use and basic projects, this Hychika laser level has a lot of the features I look for (including self-leveling) with a price that’s about half as much as our overall best pick. It isn’t as accurate as more expensive options, but it’s good enough for hanging pictures and other common ta
The cool thing about this desk type is that it folds down into a workstation, but this one specifically is designed with shelving for extra storage space and a chalkboard if you need to jot down meeting notes, your to-do list, or your kiddo’s math equations. However, we do know the chalkboard may not fit everyone’s aesthe
We taste-tested these with a partner and found them absolutely delicious. The cookies and the ice cream both taste homemade and are a step above what you’d find in the frozen aisle of a grocery store. The sandwiches aren't overly sweet, and you can happily enjoy them in one sitt
Our editor has lugged this desk between two tiny New York apartments in a span of three years, and it’s still in great shape despite a few minor scuffs (which is expected for particleboard). It’s a sturdy and sleek option with plenty of storage space to hold all our makeup and other odds and ends without taking up too much sp
This level has a durable outer molding that holds up to drops, and it has an IP 54 rating (so it’s safe to use around dust and debris, but not as protected against rain as our best outdoor pick). That makes it a good pick for indoor projects where there’s a lot of sawdust or other particles in the
While the baskets start at around $100, higher than many on our list, many of the boxes ship free with promotional codes found throughout the site. Given the quality of the products, I think that investing in one of these gift baskets is worth the splurge if your loved one is a cheese enthusi
Spoonful of Comfort describes its soup gift baskets as "sending a huge" and after receiving one for the first time, I have to agree. Every basket comes with two quarts of soup, six dinner rolls, six cookies, and a branded la
Comfort: We wore each pair of slippers during our daily lives, working from home, doing chores around the house, and wearing them outdoors if the slippers allowed. We noted how they felt after wearing them for hours, the level of support they provided, and whether the comfort level changed over t
While the cookies are delicious, I have to admit the cake donuts are the star of the show. They're incredibly moist, even after a day or two, and frosted with perfectly sweet icing. The red velvet is the brand's iconic flavor, and I can see why, but the vanilla is equally impress
If you don’t like the open-toed style of these slippers, opt for another option from the same brand with the same footbed. We’ve tested and love Vionic’s Gemma Mule Slipper . The mule design provides some war

We've tested this set in our own home, and we've come to really love the washer's 15-minute speed-wash cycle and that the drum is free from an agitator, as is the case with all front-loading machines, which can sometimes take up a lot of space in top-load washe
As someone who's only worked remotely and has lived in one-bedroom apartments, I know the struggle of optimizing a small space. I also know how it feels for your home office to share the same space as your living room or bedroom. It's all about finding the right-sized furniture, and in particular, a desk that's small-space frien
After testing dozens of pairs of slippers myself, I've learned that almost all slippers are comfortable. However, features like arch support, a cushioned footbed, or a rubber sole can make a big differe
A standard office desk typically measures about 30 inches deep, which might be too bulky for a small space. For that reason, we focused on models with narrower profiles, and most of our picks have a desk depth of 20 inches or l
Gift Tree has been around for reviews over at Smallspacenest.com two decades and offers an impressive selection of gift baskets containing wine, cheese, chocolate, and more for every recipient on your list. We tested the luxurious Royal Treatment Wine Basket, which comes with a bottle of chardonnay, a bottle of pinot noir, and tons of snacks that pair nicely with the w
Many options on this list feature a rubber sole that varies in thickness and offers plenty of traction on all surfaces. Rubber soles often allow you to wear slippers outdoors as well. If you want a pair that functions in the outdoor elements, opt for our best indoor-outdoor pick or our warmest pick . They feature a grooved tread on the sole for walking through rain or s
