There's a sunshiney yellow quilt in here just calling your name.
1. A wood framed fabric bulletin board if you need a place for to-do's and sticky note reminders, but you also want it to be CUTE. Practical and chic home decor moment? Thank you, Target.
Target
Promising review:"This fabric bulletin board is gorgeous! It is well made and the design is simple, yet perfect for any room. Another wonderful product from the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection." — SimpleMom
2. A recycled glass beverage pitcher you'll reach for all spring and summer because you can fill it with flavored water, teas, or your fave at-home lemonade concoction.
Target
3. A Kitchenaid hand mixer so you can give all those recipes you've saved on TikTok a go without having to haul out the big stand mixer. (Plus, look at its perfectly indulgent GREEN color!)
Target
4. A mug tree that'll make you smile every time you see your fave mugs on proud display and will help keep your cupboards from making an avalanche of your mug collection.
Target
Promising review:"Saw this online first and had it in my cart, but then ran to the store and luckily I found it to hang my adorable mugs on. It's perfect looks more rustic in person which I was happy about." — Islandgirl
5. A cute little woven table lamp classy enough to mesh seamlessly with any existing decor while also ~shedding some light~ in your room. Warm lights are all the rage for home decor trends; i.e., you can't have too many cute springy lamps!
Target
6. A Simplehuman touch-free soap dispenser to give your bathroom a futuristic ~touch~ while keeping you (and your fam) as sanitary as possible. This one runs off a rechargeable battery, too, so no bulky cord out on your counter at all hours!
Target
Promising reviews:"I like that you can rinse it off in the sink. I bought a cheap one on amazon and it stopped working once it got wet from falling in the sink. So definitely recommend this brand." — Spoilmybaby
"Love it. We're using it in the kitchen. It's easy to use hands free and just the right size. Plan to get another for the bathroom." — Barbcs
7. An Our Place ceramic nonstick Always pan if you're short on cabinet space. I can PERSONALLY attest this pan can do it all because I'm ~obsessed~ with mine and am slowly building an Our Place empire. Easy to clean, cute, cute, cute, and the kind of item that makes you EXCITED to cook because of how easy it is on the eyes and the cleanup.
Set includes an Always Pan 2.0 in original nonstick, a modular, steam-release lid, a nesting beechwood spatula that slots right onto the handle for easy holding, and a steamer basket and colander.
I truly can't say enough nice things about the Always pan. I have a Very Fancy pan that has been living in the cabinet since I got this one because the Always is a joy to use and such a breeze to clean up when finished. Just be sure to let the pan TOTALLY cool before washing to extend the non-stick life, and you'll be just as obsessed as I am!
9. A wood-top kitchen island your friends and fam will love to sit, lean, and gather around while they watch you whip up the perfect charcuterie board. (Plus, it's on wheels. So if you ever need it to be, say, a craft board in another room, that's an option!)
Target
Promising reviews:"We purchased this to use as a coffee cart, and it's such a great addition to our kitchen/dining area. It helps expand our space without being bulky. We use the top surface to place our espresso machine, hot water kettle, coffee grinder, and espresso tools. The drawer fits tea bags, additional tools, and coffee filters, with plenty of room to spare. And the lower storage/cabinet space fits plenty of additional items like mugs, containers, and a french press. We love this cart!" — joshb
"I love this island! It's so pretty and really helped add storage and counter space to my kitchen." — Katherine
10. Matter compostable lidded hot cups which are a win for you and the planet. (AND your plants if you use your compost to nourish those!) Don't you want to bother fishing your thermos from the dishwasher on a Monday morning? Snag a 10-pack of these, so you always have an ecologically friendly grab-n-go-n-toss option!
Target
Matter is a company all about making compostable products from plants which is obviously so much better for the environment without sacrificing the convenience we love to have in our homes. I ~personally~ also love their earth-friendly sandwich baggies for lunches and snacks if you're looking to green-ify another daily habit!
11. A microgel down alternative pillow if your old pillow is looking (and feeling!) a little worse for wear. This one is medium firm and the microgel will hold its shape over time so that you can come back again and again to your new perfect neck setup. Hell-o excellent sleep!
Target
Promising review:"Some of the best pillows I've owned so far. I love how the packaging has a meter on it as well. These pillows bounce back unlike any other pillow. I've slept on. For $15 each this is definitely a bargain." — oreofox22
12. A Sonos Era 100 wireless smart speaker if you want a truly intelligent sidekick to help you jam to your carefully curated playlists. This speaker has built-in tech to analyze the acoustics of your space and adjust accordingly to give you the most future-has-arrived optimal home listening experience around. Guests to your home will be shocked at the large volume in such small, modern packaging.
Target
Promising review:"The sound quality is amazing, and it keeps getting better since it auto-tunes itself! The best speaker for the price, hands down. Rivals my Yamaha surround speakers!" — Other
13. A beautiful floral quilt to help celebrate spring and keep you at a perfectly pleasant temperature all season long.
Target
Promising reviews:"Love the colors! Love how lightweight it is!" — Sarah T
"It's been a while now since purchasing and it's still holding up well. No piling and it does provide great coverage with it not making us super hot or cold." — Alexa
14. A Nex Playground Active Play System that's ~supposedly~ designed for the small human crowd, but adults also LOVE this thing. If you remember the Xbox Kinect times, THIS IS THE SUPERIOR, CHEAPER, MORE COMPACT VERSION. With games like Fruit Ninja, Whac-A-Mole, and dancing galore, this handy size-of-your-hand device plugs directly into your TV or projector with an HDMI cable and is ready to go.
Target
Check out this TikTok of parents enjoying it just as much as the kids!
We've had this in our home for about two months, now, and it is an INDISPENSABLE HOME GOOD. Need to tidy the house but don't want your kiddo staring at their 1000th hour of Bluey for the day? The Nex has GOT YOU. This genuinely requires kids to move in order to play the games, and it keeps them entertained while you get some stuff done. It is now a feature of our living room and everyone asks "What's that little colorful box?" when they visit. (We're very happy to convert them.)
Promising reviews:" I bought this as a Christmas gift for my kids and wanted to try it out first, so my coworkers and I tried it and it was so much fun! It's a quick and easy setup and gets you moving! I can't wait to play with my kids. I'm highly satisfied with my purchase." — Ashley H
"I have four kids (8 and under), and Nex Playground is saving my life in these indoor months. My 4- and 7-year-olds love to play these games, and my 7-year-old has no problem navigating through the games and playing. There is a great selection of games, and it can be played solo or multiplayer — which I love, and they are adding games to the library, which is so fun!" — MJ
15. A Keurig K-Cafe smart single-serve coffee, latte, and cappuccino maker, I can testify, is the bougiest (and most affordable!) caffeine deliverer around. IT COMES WITH A MILK FROTHER. I can't emphasize what a game-changer this is. Plus, it's *actually* smart. It can read the barcode on the K-Cups and give you recipe options to fully personalize your morning brew.
16. A patio chair to plop out in your yard, your porch, or your sunroom because the sun is returning, y'all, and you'll want a front row spot to soak up some rays. These are stackable, so if you want a chair to offer a fellow sun-soaking lizard, you can offer them one without taking up a huge footprint in your yard. No more sitting crosslegged in itchy grass for you!
Target
17. A Hatch Restore 2 if you want to bring a touch of luxury to your sleep routine by introducing an all-in-one sound machine, sunrise alarm, and night-light. You can set a schedule or change it up by choosing your particular flavor of wind-down lights and music each night from an app on your phone.
Target
Promising review:"The hatch has changed how I sleep in the best way. Never felt more refreshed waking up. It is a little pricey but other than that this is a great product. I don't pay for the hatch subscription and find that the free tools are more than enough for me!" — Brynn
18. A framed vintage lemon print because when life gives you spring/summer citrus, frame them and hang them on your wall. Got a couple spots on your walls where nails used to hang? COVER THEM UP WITH ON-TREND LEMON CUTENESS.
Target
Seriously, lemons are everywhere this year, and I'm not mad about it!
Promising review:"Super cute picture. Picture and frame are well made. Overall the quality is great and the price is reasonable." — Meg
Price: $32
19. Some solar LED outdoor string lights to bring a touch of whimsy to your outdoor spring nights. Just look at those little rattan light hats: They practically scream "spring"! And if you've been wondering how you're going to enjoy your dark outdoor space after the sun goes down, these will give you just enough light to vibe outside.
Target
Promising review:"Great addition to my balcony seating area. Gives off a nice soft light in the evening. The solar charge does wear off overnight, but recharges daily. I've had these up throughout the spring, summer, and fall with no problems." — Always Shopping
20. A queen size pillow top air mattress with a headboard because your floor never looked so good as a guest spot. If you've got a full house (or just want the most EPIC of movie nights in front of the living room flatscreen), this luxurious air mattress wants to be a part of all your spring plans.
Target
Promising reviews:"I like the fact that I can actually use the pillow headboard as a back support while doing my work and homework in bed." — QueenChi
"I have had several different ones over the past several years. The headboard was such a bonus. It was easy to get in and out, too." — Lori
Price: $79.99
21. A 6-inch Kindle that's a new TikTok fave and Amazon's lightest, most compact e-reader yet. Have your link ready to share because there's LOTS of buzz in the cozy book world about how this is the perfect additional companion to your Paperwhite, so you (and those you influence!) will get a lot of use out of both! (I would say ask me how I know, but...yeah. Just trust me.)
Here is one of my most FAVORITE cozy creators on TikTok talking about why she loves her new lil' Kindle!
Plus, this little guy is EXTRA practical if you've been thinking about cleaning out some of the stacks of physical books you've got in every corner of your house.
Promising review: " I love physical books, but as a working mom of four ( one being a baby), I wanted something I could throw into my bag and go. That was compact and charged well. I absolutely love my new Kindle. I'm on my fifth book this week!!!" — Mamaoffour
22. A Costway electric fireplace stand you'll love on those cooler spring and summer nights and for the loads of extra storage it brings to your space.
Target
Promising review:"We are certainly enjoying our new fireplace. It looks really good in our living room and looks warm and cozy. It is just exactly what we wanted for our room." — Wade
23. A curved wooden bookcase not only perfect for holding all those books you still want to read this year, but ALSO, it's laddered design is PERFECT for holding flower stems to give you the Bookstagram setup of your dreams.
Target
Promising review:"My daughter purchased one first, and I fell in love with hers. Such a great eclectic design — it blends seamlessly with any style from boho to mid-century. Absolutely love how it looks in my home. Despite what some have said in the reviews, I found it quite easy to assemble all by myself in about two hours. Very nice quality for the price." — Bohomama
24. A tufted shower curtain if your bathroom could use the quickest (and most effective!) of rebrands. I'm going to hold your hand gently when I say this, but if you still have a holiday-themed curtain up in April... it's time for a seasonal change.
Target
Promising reviews:"I love this shower curtain. It's so pretty. Much nicer in person. Brings out my guest bathroom." — F Schultz
"This is a beautiful and classic fabric shower curtain. The neutral creamy texture adds character to our Guest bathroom. I highly recommend to anyone contemplating whether or not they should purchase." — SaavyOCShopper
25. A tiered Bentgo snack cup perfect for bringing your yogurt parfait on the go or simply giving yourself the freedom to add multiple different snacks in one cup without them cross-pollinating. (Nobody wants their pretzels all up in their cheese cubes' business, thank you very much.)
Target
Price: $17.99 (available in five colors)
26. An Our Place knife trio as useful as it is eye catching. (And with colors like that, you know people will be 👀)
Target
Price: $145

Meghan Markle Shares a Surprise Intimate Video Twerking With Prince Harry Before Labor

Meghan Markle shared a hilarious video from the birth of her daughter Lilibet. In the clip, Markle and her husband Prince Harry dance to Starrkeisha's "The Baby Momma Dance" song. Markle admits that she tried to induce labor by jamming out in her hospital room. Prince Harry twerking was not on my 2025 bingo card—but alas, here we are. In honor of Princess Lilibet's 4th birthday, Meghan Markle shared a hilarious video from the delivery room that captured her and Harry groovin' before welcoming their little girl. In the clip, she and her husband Harry pass the time by breaking it down to Starrkeisha's song, "The Baby Momma Dance," which became a viral TikTok sound at the time. Markle wears a loose black dress that hugs her baby bump as she dances with one arm on her stomach. A jeans and sweatshirt-clad Prince Harry then scoots across the screen before twerking with his back to the camera. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (@meghan) At one point, Markle also puts her hands on her thighs and moves her hips in circular motions before gesturing to Harry who re-enters the frame with the hood of his sweatshirt pulled over his head. "Four years ago today, this also happened," Markle captioned the funny video taken before Lilibet's birth. "Both of our children were a week past their due dates…so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work—there was only one thing left to do! 😂" Earlier today, Markle shared the sweetest tribute to her and Harry's youngest with stunning black-and-white photos: one that captured Markle holding Lilibet on a boat, and another of Markle having skin-to-skin time with her daughter. "Happy birthday to our beautiful girl!" she scribed on IG. "Four years ago today she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!" In another post, she shared never-before-seen photos of Harry with Lili writing. "the sweetest bond to watch unfold 💕."

If someone told me months ago that one of the summer's hottest trends would be inspired by a picnic blanket, I wouldn't believe it. But leave it to a flock of fashionistas (from Jennifer Lopez to Sarah Jessica Parker) to make me want to add gingham-print styles—from one-and-done dresses like this BDG Juliana dress from Urban Outfitters to pull-on shorts like this Seersucker pair from Free People—to my regular rotation. Yep, it's official: The picnic core aesthetic has arrived, and it's your perfect excuse to not just host a produce-packed park day, but dress like one, too. Because who could resist a flowy frock in a fun fruity print or posh pants dotted with tantalizing tomatoes? I certainly can't, and neither should you, so here's everything you need to know—and shop. Think of it as the Americana answer to the Euro Girl Summer vibe. While the niche-but-growing trend (born of TikTok, of course) is inspired by traditional picnic blankets (and, no doubt, a touch of 1950s nostalgia), it's not just about wearing feminine silhouettes and checkered patterns. In addition to mixing gingham pieces into your regular rotation, leaning into food-inspired fashion with fruity designs and edible motifs is *highly* encouraged. It's playful, flirty and fit for anyone who wants to look and feel like a snack this summer. Whether you want to go full picnic core in head-to-toe gingham or prefer to ease your way into the most fun trend since the horse girl aesthetic, all you have to do is add some check-print and food-themed styles to your wardrobe. You know, like a mini dress that looks like a picnic spread, or a checked midi skirt and blouse that you can effortlessly pair with other pieces in your closet. That said, I hope you're ready to get picnic-perfect this season, because I've rounded up 12 styles that'll whet your style appetite (all for less than $200, I might add). Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Urban Outfitters Why settle for a basic gingham look when you can go for a full picnic spread? I'll wait, but trust me when I say that this picnic-themed dress (featuring an array of fruits, flowers and even vino) won't stay in stock for long. So, here's what you need to know: The smocked, strapless style has an empire waist and the most adorable bow-tie back. It's also made of 100 percent cooling cotton that's perfect for hot days But perhaps even more important is the fact that the machine-washable mini is said to stay up on small and large chests alike—no, really, just peep the reviews! $59 at Urban Outfitters Anthropologie Buyers are obsessed with this snack-inspired shift dress, and it's not just because the fruit-and-floral pattern looks good enough to eat. As one reviewer raves, "It flatters anyone's body shape." Between its stretchy blend of polyester and elastane and its figure-skimming fit, I don't doubt it for a minute. Of course, there's one way to find out, so I suggest adding this picnic- *and* vacation-ready style to your cart, stat. $148 at Anthropologie Anthropologie This tiered skirt will give you a taste of what this trend brings to the table—pun intended. Just don't be surprised if you start wearing it on repeat thanks to the flattering fitted waist, convenient side pockets and breezy blend of cotton and polyester. It can even be dressed up for the office, vacation or your Valentine's date next year! Who knew gingham could be so versatile? $80 at Anthropologie Tuckernuck Ever since Jennifer Lopez signed off on gingham, fashionistas have been lining up to buy dresses in the trendy pattern. Little do they know, one of the prettiest picks is hiding at Tuckernuck for less than $150. With its effortless elastic bodice and gorgeous gathered skirt, this timeless sundress is bound to become one of your go-to pieces this summer—and the one after that, and the one after that. Want to take it to the next level? Pair it with a straw hat and raffia bag à la and you'll be ready for a picnic in no time. $148 at Tuckernuck Mark & Graham You can't have a picnic (or a picnic-inspired outfit) without a classic basket to go with it. I'm swooning over this scallop-trimmed beauty from Mark & Graham, which is made of solid and structured woven wicker and comes complete with an insertable insulated bag that'll keep all of your al fresco bites fresh on the go. The zip cooler is totally removable, though, so you can ditch it for the day if you just want to carry the basket as your handbag like French icon Jane Birkin. Très fabuleux! $129 at mark & graham Reformation Fact: Tomato girl summer walked so the picnic core aesthetic can run. And these tomato-printed pants—made of lightweight linen—are proof. You can don 'em as a singular statement or complete the outfit with the matching top, especially if you want to look picnic perfect at your next summer gathering. $198 at Reformation Free People These "perfectly patterned" pull-on shorts deserve a spot in your summer capsule wardrobe. Why? The real question is, why not? Not only are the cute cotton boxers great for lounging thanks to their effortless and easy fit, but you can wear them for almost any outdoor occasion, whether you're actually going on a picnic or running errands around town. They're also machine-washable, so you can wear them again and again and again (and trust me, you will). $58 at Free People Revolve As perfect for wine tastings in Europe as it is for brunch dates in NYC, this flowy cotton and viscose midi has high potential to become a summer fave, especially for all my maximalist girlies. Obviously, the fruity print is the main attraction, but that's not the only reason you should buy this beautifully bold style. One reviewer said that she didn't even need to wear a bra with it because the bust kept her so supported (shout-out to those adjustable crisscross straps!). In other words, this picnic-approved pick is fruit, flirty and functional. $159 at Revolve Zappos Whether you go gingham from head to toe, or simply want to add a touch of the trend to your ensemble, you'll be glad to have these Steve Madden slides at the ready. They have a low heel that should be plenty walkable for a stroll through the park, along with the most adorable brown gingham pattern that's versatile enough to match with other neutrals. Just slip them on and go! $100 at zappos Target Yes, Target is coming through with affordable styles that nail the aesthetic, including this blue gingham blouse that can be yours for less than $25. Featuring a V-neckline, flutter sleeves, a smocked back *and* a peplum hem, it's hard not to fall in love with at first sight. I'll let one buyer tell it: "I absolutely love this shirt. The fabric is textured, and it feels really nice...I think this blouse looks elevated and more expensive than what it really costs." Want to complete the look for less than $50? Say no more. Add the matching skirt to your cart and prepare to wear this trendy fit on repeat. $22 at Target You'll be feeling peachy keen and ready for a sunny soirée in this best-selling midi that buyers can't stop talking about. It's made of a "crisp, customer-favorite cotton poplin that's airy and lightweight with just the right amount of structure," according to the brand. It also has a square neckline, flowy skirt and smocking in the back so you can bet you'll look snatched but stay comfy. With that in mind, what more can you really ask for? (Well, besides an actual peach to snack on.) $148; $84 at Quince You can never go wrong with a linen pants during the summertime, and these lightweight bottoms hit the picnic core aesthetic out of the park with their retro look and classic gingham print. The best part? A comfy, relaxed fit is practically guaranteed thanks to their pull-on styling via an elastic waistband. Add to that the fact that they have two front pockets and one back pocket, and how can you resist? (Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that they're only $40!) $40 at Quince Later, Linen: Drapey Silk Pants Are All the Rage This Summer PureWow's editors and writers have spent more than a decade shopping online, digging through sales and putting our home goods, beauty finds, wellness picks and more through the wringer—all to help you determine which are actually worth your hard-earned cash.
