Ya gotta have a little whimsy.
1. A melting Dali-inspired clock if this surrealist painter is one of your favorites, and having this iconic design will remind you of "The Persistence of Memory."
Promising review: "This is an awesome clock for anyone who loves Dali and surrealist art. It is a great value for the money, considering it is super cool and seems to be good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble, which is very cool. The metallic part is also plastic, which is fine. It ticks a bit loudly, but I personally like that. I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." — Zach

2. A Golden Girls -themed planter because you could use a bit of Sophia's sass to keep your stubborn jade alive. Or maybe you need Blanche's Southern charm to coax some seeds to root. OR maybe you should have Dorothy's practical nature to force some flowers to grow.
Amazon
This planter comes with a removable faux succulent.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (Get it in Blanche, Dorothy, or Sophia).
3. A bouquet of 20 artificial tulips — made of a silky soft material, these faux flowers look identical to the real things! Now you don't have to count up any fallen, wilting petals wondering if your crush loves you or loves you not, because these flowers were meant to last forever!

Promising review:"Got this for my office and for Lego flowers I had, and I love it! I was nervous that the mouth of it would be too small, but you could definitely fit several stems in it. The colors are so fun. It feels well-made and high quality!" — Lijah
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
5. A boho chic beaded chandelier if your aesthetic is cottage-core meets opulence. It also features a dangling, woven tassel in case it wasn't eccentric enough for you.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: " Love this light fixture! I have it in my kitchen. Really adds to the boho vibe. If you have a handyman around, I'm sure they could install it. My husband did it in about an hour or so. Beware: It is rather large and in charge but beautiful! May not suit a small area. In addition, the light bulbs it comes with are not dimmable, so you may want to purchase three of those if you need it to dim. Very happy with the purchase overall!" — Sierra
Get it from Amazon for $110.88+ (available in three colors).
6. A set of three industrial pipe shelves for a dash of urban charm. So go ahead and place your knickknacks, plants, or small books on these decorative shelves!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "This table is SO CUTE! Obviously, it looks great in the sun/direct light, but it still looks good at night. I was worried it'd look cheap, but it definitely gives off a classy vibe (with lots of fun character)! It's great quality and really sturdy, so I don't have to worry about the size or weight of what I put on it. Excellent side table for the price!" — KayJay

Get it from Amazon for $179.99.
8. A dimmable sad duck night-light who is just oh-so-relatable. He just needs to lie down real quick forever. This night-light has a 30-minute timer, so you don't have to get up and turn it off before falling asleep.
Amazon
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. This has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." — Literated
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
9. A wavy full-length mirror that might just turn your home into a Hot Spot so your friends can take selfies in it. This can be mounted on a wall or left leaning against one.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
(BTW, this has a similar vibe as the famous Ultrafragola mirror for a lot less $$$.)

www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is super cute, and the cats love it. I bought it to replace a much larger scratcher that lasted five years before it started shedding too much. I hope this will last just as long. These are full-grown, full-size cats (one of which is much 'fuller' than average), and the size is perfect. The openings on each side are quite generous. Lots of fun!" — Paula L
Get it from Amazon for $79.95 (available in two colors).
11. A darling dino nugget pillow too cute to eat! And you shouldn't eat it. Because it's a pillow. Not a real nugget.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true! It's the perfect cuddle companion for all the paleontologists-in-training or anyone with an insatiable appetite for comfort. Just be careful not to accidentally take a bite while you're napping because it looks deliciously deceiving!" — LadyTee
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles, two sizes, and multipacks).
12. A cloud light so you can make your room feel like an airy dreamscape. These fluffy clouds can change colors, simulate lightning clouds, and even play music. Sync your cloud to change colors as your favorite songs play!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "My child has been asking for a cloudscape on her wall/ceiling for some time now, and after I saw this product and the reviews, I took a risk and bought two of them. I was shocked at how many accessories for hanging these up and securing the cords to the ceiling and wall came with the product. And the options for different types of hanging and adhesion were plentiful. I was able to hang the clouds up in probably a total of 10 minutes. After fluffing the clouds a bit and letting my daughter pick the exact right spot, we were so happy with the result! The brightness, color options, pattern options, etc were endless. My daughter enjoys having the app on her phone because it makes it fun to create the mood she is looking for, depending on the occasion (she also likes to mess with me by making them blink or change when she's not in the room and I am in there picking up laundry or what have you). She also enjoys having the timer feature so that she can go to sleep with it on. Overall, I'm very impressed and highly recommend this product!" — JHay
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in larger packs).
13. A modern velvet storage bench whose unique design will help bring your space into the 22nd century. Pro tip: Place this at the foot of your bed, and store your extra sheets and blankets inside!

Get it from Amazon for $65.99 (available in two finishes).
15. A cute hand-shaped jewelry stand because your rings deserve to be on display and not just lying around whatever free surface you can find at the end of the day. This will also help to ensure you don't lose your favorite statement pieces.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love this product so much. I was actually a little surprised at how amazing the quality was when it arrived! The fingers are slightly different sizes so you can store different sizes of rings, and they're spaced perfectly so I could fit all of my bulkier rings as well. The product is a hard plastic type of a material, and doesn't feel like it could break easily. It's also nice and sturdy so you don't have to worry about your rings flying everywhere if you accidentally bump it. Definitely gonna buy more soon to fit my other ring. 💕 I highly recommend purchasing!!" — Kitty
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors).

You can either stick them on the wall using the three included adhesive pads, hang them on a screw or nail (not included), or simply use the magnetic back on your fridge.
Promising review:"It's a beautiful and unique hook. We used it both as a magnet on our fridge and our garage entry door and on a nail for our wall. It can hold stuff less than a pound on the hook easily. Though simply as a deco, not bad at all!" — Preet Bawa
Get a set of three from Amazon for $14.99.

22. A magical prismatic window film that'll ~cast~ brilliant rainbows in your house whenever the sun shines through it. And for major bonus points, it'll add a bit of privacy!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat." — J. B.

Amazon
Promising review:"Oh man, my husband loves this! He's really into modern-looking things. I bought this as a birthday present to go in his home office. He uses it to hold his wallet and phone when he comes in, but it could obviously hold different things or simply be decoration only. It's somehow even better in person. Well-made and doesn't feel cheap at all. I'm super satisfied." — Tiffanie
Get it from Amazon for $56.98 (available in two colors).
25. An elegant moon cycle garland for a ~heavenly~ touch you can hang above your bed, couch, or mantle.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was pretty nervous ordering this because there weren't a ton of reviews on the gold moon phase. When this arrived, I thought I would have to assemble it, but it was already put together and nicely packaged so the chains didn't tangle! The quality is so much better than I expected and you can see in my pictures the moons are pretty thick/heavy. They gave me gold matching screws to hang it but I just used a thumbtack instead. Love this!" — Holly Grote
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "I cannot express how utterly thrilled I am with the best, squishiest dog bed I have ever laid my eyes on! It's not just a bed; it's a haven of happiness for my precious fur baby. Seeing my dog nestled in this cocoon of comfort warms my heart in ways I didn't know were possible." — Traci O.
Get it from Amazon for $25.26+ (available in four sizes and 13 styles).
29. A cute (?) and creepy (?) flexible flower vase so whimsical (?) it may brighten up (?) your space. Honestly, I don't know, man. It's weird and cool, and I think you would love it. The end.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "An affable, squishy, bendy, happy little vase! The consensus on my social media page is that everyone should have one of these. I finally got a chance to try it out with some daffodils, and really, it's hard not to smile when you see them." — Susy Lundy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).
30. Some faux ivy if you're a bit of a liability when it comes to real plants but you still want some greenery in your home. You'll get 12 garlands of ivy to drape from your walls!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"These vines are perfect for adding a pop of greenery to any room. They drape nicely over curtain rods and are easy to hang. I like that they come bound with a little bread tie so they are not tangled. They arrive in a ziplock plastic bag, which you could also use for storage. They do smell bad right out of the bag — a typical plasticky fake garland smell — but honestly, the smell faded within hours, and it's totally worth it because they are high quality. The plastic part is thin and not bulky like some fake vines and garlands I've purchased, and the leaves feel silky — that's why these drape easily and delicately, and they don't look cheap. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I'm planning to buy more!" — T. Nicole Cirone
Get 12 pieces from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in larger pack sizes).
31. A too-cool-for-school aluminum side table with a dripping detail that forms its four legs. This contemporary accent table features an opaque black glass top you'll love placing your martinis and To Be Read books on top of.

Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it's perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." — Benny
Get it from Amazon for $28.19+ (available in two colors and styles).

www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "Gorgeous pieces! They look way more expensive than the price I paid!! They are beautiful and provide a perfect accent to the area I had in mind. The pieces are versatile in that they can go in so many different places in the home. I ultimately decided to place them in my bathroom on a hanging shelf arrangement." — I love my dog
