You survived the holidays, and now you’re holding the most powerful post-season artifact: an Amazon gift card. Instead of spending it on a random pile of impulse buys, put it toward upgrades that make your home cleaner, cozier, and easier to live in. If you didn’t get what you wanted under the t ree, now is the time to get it for yourself.
