A very small purchase and very small detail but it 's a good improvement.
Our kitchen pantry has those wire shelves. Mostly it's fine but small items sometimes fall through, or often just don't stand up.
So after much internetting I bought this. It works great.
Link above has the model we purchased. There are other models of different sizes. My wife has super Sonic hearing and she cannot hear it running. Currently have it in the living room filled with a gallon of distilled water. Tap water can be used but our tap water is horrible. Even filtered our tap water leaves behind white powder minerals. The clear blue tank removes from the base and the fill port is on the bottom of the tank with a locking cap. The dial in front is the humidity setting. It’s suppose to shut off automatically when it reaches your desired humidity. It is suppose to shut off if it runs out of water. The disadvantage of this model is there is nothing on the dial to indicate the humidity setting like in higher priced models. Our home thermostat has a humidity sensor. Have been regularly checking home humidity. When it reaches 40% I can turn the control dial in reverse until it turns off. It should then maintain around that humidity level. Humidity has risen 5% and the home feels more comfortable during this cold snap. Though we haven’t changed the thermostat setting we feel more comfortable.

Be careful with humidifiers. Especially during Winter, when there is little air movement/open windows.
40% should be "ok" but let it get to 60% and you've created a perfect environment for mold to propagate. Mold is a whole lot worse than "uncomfortable" health wise.

Our home was built in 73 and is a bit drafty. Have a humidity sensor on thermostat. Using it right now to measure humidity. We have all ceiling fans on low speed blowing upwards and a central air unit. Turned off humidifier before bed. Was about 35% before bed. Discovered changing the dial position changes amount of mist released from unit. Have it turned up all the way and will monitor humidity levels. Woke to 29% humidity this morning. 30 degrees outside which is very cold for south Louisiana. Will turn off humidifier before leaving for work.

Dusk-to-Dawn light bulbs for exterior lights. They are bulbs that have a sensor in them to detect how light it is outside. They automatically come on when it gets dark. You just keep the switch "On" and don't worry about it again. No need for timers. (These are NOT solar lights - they need electrical.)
They now come in all different types. I put the chandelier-type bulbs in my porch fixture and garage sconces.
Flush overhead lights without having to replace bulbs ever.. they ll last longer than I will.
At work we’ve had LED light panels installed. Majority of them work fine 5 years later. However some of those panels have had to be replaced or repaired. This is why I chose to not install such panels. I installed traditional light fixtures which are cheaper to buy and I, or future home owners, CNA choose what type of bulb and light bulbs output we want from the fixtures. If the bulb goes out then it doesn’t require removing the entire fixture to replace.
