MagicFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloth (Pack of 12)
$10
$12Save $2- Buy from Amazon (pack of 12)
What we like: Our thicker and softer microfiber cleaning cloth pick. Felt better in our hands. Stayed fluffy even after multiple washes. At 13 by 13 inches, it provides a slightly larger square to work with than our top pick. Absorption ability ranked higher than most others.
Other things to know: Comes in a four-color set. More expensive than our top pick. Full transparency: What sets our picks apart from others are not vast differences; you couldn't go wrong with most of the cloths we tested. Lightning deal.

Smart Solar Charleston Pathway LED Lights (6 Pack)
$40
$50Save $10- Buy from Amazon With delayed shipping
What we like: The path light pick in our piece about outdoor and backyard lighting we love. These solar-powered path lights have a sleek look that contrasts pleasantly with any outdoor environment. They’re ruggedly built and easy to assemble, and they stay put when staked into the ground.
Other things to know: When the sun isn’t out, each light is powered by one AA backup battery (included). One-year warranty. Might be a little diminutive for some yards—especially if you have a wider walkway. A rare deal but shipping is delayed.

Stanley 33-725 25-Feet FatMax Tape Measure (2-Pack)
