Someone's about to have a PhD in adulting.
1. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — aka TikTok's favorite all-purpose cleaning paste — to combat grossness on nearly every surface in your home. From typical problems like crusty stovetops and soap scum buildup to more niche cleaning projects like grimy jewelry and rusty windows, this ~stuff~ will make cleaning it a breeze.
Promising review:"Found this product on TikTok. I don't think I've ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What's more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" — Rachel in CLT
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
2. A set of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows to replace your old pillows. These are big, fluffy, and soft, and everyone says it feels like you're sleeping at a fancy hotel when you use them. Yes, please!
See them in action in TikTok user Aprill Mae's video.
Promising review: "Due to packaging, they are quite flat at first. Laid them flat for a few hours. Shook and fluffed them up and was able to sleep like a baby last night. These pillows are heavenly. I say that because it feels as though you're sleeping on a cloud. I slept with both. One under my head and one to hug. They stayed a comfortable temp all night long. First morning I didn't wake up with neck, shoulder and back pain in over a week and a half. I feel rested and refreshed." — Amazon Customer
"These are THE BEST pillows! I'm a side/stomach sleeper and these provide the perfect amount of support for me. Exactly what I was looking for. I was a bit skeptical given how inexpensive they are — I'm used to spending a lot on bedding — but decided to trust the over 200,000 reviews and I'm so glad I did. Highly, highly recommend." — Irene Pope
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in Queen or King sizes and two material types).
3. Some metal bathroom shelves with super strong adhesive that can hold up to 15 pounds each. No more dangling a shower caddy around your shower head!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "If you are looking for some shower space and you don't want to tear out your shower to build in the nitches...grab these babies. They stick great, and hold a ton of stuff! It took our shower from looking cluttered and always having stuff fall underfoot to looking put together, and having everything be right where you need it to get to it. I use liter bottles of shampoo and conditioner and these babies hold both in one basket. Pick up a set, you won't be disappointed. Also, if you have two showers and only need one basket in each you can split them and get storage in both showers that match perfectly!!" — Chris
Get it from Amazon for $28.90+ (available in four finishes).
4. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind, but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
5. A veggie chopper to chop, spiralize, dice, and slice produce within seconds. You put half of an apple, potato, onion, etc. on it, and with one push it'll work its magic and push all the chopped pieces into a container underneath. Perfect for those of us who need/like to whip up a big meal for a big crowd as quickly as possible!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.38+ (available in three colors).
6. A soft muslin throw blanket to give your favorite reading nook, TV watching spot, or bed a big dose of cozy. In the warmer months, it's soft, thin, and breathable enough to be all you need while you sleep, and in the colder months, it's a great extra layer over your sheets so you stay warm all night.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This blanket is the most amazing thing ever! It is incredibly soft and lightweight. It is warm but not overwhelming. It looks great as a throw for decoration but so comfortable you have to use." — Fairykisses
Get it from Amazon for $25.71+ (available in 23 colors and six sizes).
7. A metal canopy bed to give your bedroom a contemporary look. Because it's a platform bed, the frame does not require a boxspring for the mattress. And it's tall enough that you can store boxes underneath, which is great if you live in a place with limited storage.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for! Inexpensive, but very sturdy. I've had it for about a year and a half now, and there are no signs of chipping or anything on the finish. I have a foam mattress on it... didn't need a boxspring. It's lightweight but very sturdy. It's tall enough for my dog to sleep underneath and for under bed storage." — Carla
Get it from Amazon for $185+ (available in Full and Queen sizes).
8. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray that works overnight to remove all the soup scum and other grossness from your bathroom. Simply spray the area that needs to be cleaned, and in the morning give it a quick rinse to make it like new again.
Amazon
Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents).
9. A set of stainless-steel and glass soap dispensers to upgrade the sophistication in your bathroom, and keep your bathing products neat and organized.
Promising review:"I purchased these to use as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. I wanted our shower to look like a spa! They are great quality and many people I know have copied our idea, so they are a hit! Very high quality, the plunger part is always the most important part. These are metal and not plastic, something that seems to be hard to find when looking for dispensers." — Rebecca Morea
Get set of two from Amazon for $14.99.
10. A bottle of Folex spot remover for instantly removing literally any stain from any soft surface, aka carpets and upholstery. I'm talking pet stains, wine, vomit, foodstuff, even blood. A true miracle product!
Be sure to check out our full write-up on this Folex stain remover!
Promising reviews:"So my dog got into my makeup bag and got ahold of some liquid lipstick and, needless to say, I flipped out to see my carpets neon orange. It took about an hour and two rolls of paper towels but holy moly! WOW did this stuff work! My mother recommended it to me after using it on minor stains at her house and I'm so glad I got it. Definitely worth the money and it really does disappear right before your eyes like the bottle says!" — Jen
"The reviews and before/after pics had me curious, but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn't set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years and I'm amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains but that's my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle you will not be disappointed!" — LMK32294
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and multiple packs).
11. A printable Wi-Fi sign that'll show guests your network name and password so they can log on without your assistance. This is a downloadable file, so if you ever need to change your network's name or password you just edit the original copy and print a new sign.

amazon.com
Promising review: "I've been looking for chairs similar to these for a few years now. They are the perfect size and match my decor beautifully. Came in excellent condition and very easy to assemble. Great value for the cost. They look high-end. Very pleased with my purchase." — Krissy
Get it from Amazon for $117.66+ (available in four colors and either gold or chrome finishes).
13. A box of cleaning K-Cups to make your machine like new again. These cleaning cups pop into your machine just like a coffee pod, and all you need to do is press the cycle button for it to do its cleaning thing. It'll remove the build up of old grinds and residues, and drastically improve the way your coffee and espresso tastes.
Quick and Clean is a small business that makes k-cup cleaning pods.
Promising review:"Thought I was having problems with my machine. Used two cups to flush the entire coffee maker out and it started working like new. Totally satisfied!" — Dara Pazooki
Get a box of six pods from Amazon for $9.95.
14. A bundle of faux jasmine flowers so you have a bouquet always available for styling, because it's such a bummer when you spend big bucks on a fresh cut flowers, only to have them wilt a few days later.
15. An armless office chair so you can finally sit comfortably cross-legged while you work. So many of us spend at least some time working from home, so make sure you have a versatile chair that lets you get into a position that works for you.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: "If you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing, comfy chair — this is it. I was looking for something that would be comfortable enough to get me to work out of bed (a vice of mine). I prefer wide chairs so I can sit cross legged or any other position that strikes my fancy. Roller chairs bug me and my room is too small for me to need that much mobility. Plus, since the chair has no arms, it easily slides under my desk, making my room feel more spacious when I'm not working. It's really gorgeous and I'm so happy I found it. Worth every penny." — alexander bank
Get it from Amazon for $88.20+ (available in six styles and colors).
16. A 100% jute rug for giving your floors a little texture and style that's still neutral. Jute is 100% natural and very soft underfoot, and lasts a lot longer than other fibers because it doesn't break down as quickly.
amazon.com
Promising review: "I absolutely love this rug! I wanted a farmhouse look and so I ordered this rug for my dining area. I am pleased that it is softer than I imagined it would be. I thought it would be course and itchy, but it's not! Love love love it! I got the 6-foot round rug which will eventually sit under my new dining table. It has been down for two days now and the rug has almost completely relaxed too, which none of my other rugs have done so quickly." — Vicky Barboza
Get it from Amazon for $25.67+ (available in 37 sizes and 11 colors).
17. A roll of peel-and-stick wallpaper if you want to give your bathroom a visual upgrade, but not necessarily a permanent one. Because it's peel-and-stick, simply peel it off when you want to remove it and it'll leave no trace behind.
Check out our comprehensive guide to buying wallpaper online.
Promising review: "Love, love, love this wall paper!!! It is beautiful and unique, refined and elegant, and heavy-duty quality. I found it super easy to install, though I opted to use it for a room border versus full wall coverage. I also found it very forgiving, allowing me to pull it back off and adjust areas without leaving permanent dents in the design. It gave my son's bedroom a whole new look and I have gotten lots of compliments on this wallpaper!" — MB
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in frost, navy, and powder).
18. A three-lamp wall sconce to give your bathroom more light and style. Blackened steel is all the rage right now, but it's also a timeless finish that goes with nearly every interior design style. A win-win!
Promising review: "I really wanted a black light fixture for my bathroom remodel, but most of them are high dollar. I found this for half the price of most fixtures and it's perfect! It looks better in person and ties the room together perfectly. I love it! Don't look anywhere else!" — Jayme
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in two styles and packs of one or two).

Art Maison Canada is a small business in Canada that makes vinyl art mats.
Promising review: "It's gorgeous, surprisingly comfortable under foot, and the sturdiest, most washable bathmat we've ever owned. Definitely going to get another for the other bathroom." — Abigail Brown
Get it from Art Maison Canada on Etsy for $40.08+ (available in five sizes).
20. A gold end table with a charcoal-gray top to replace your bulky nightstand. The tabletop has a lip that curves upward around the edge, so if you ever spill snacks or liquids it won't make a mess on the floor.
Amazon
Promising review:"This table is FANTASTIC. Putting it together literally took three minutes. It's sturdy, attractive, and the perfect size for decor and some books. HIGHLY recommend." — KayKay
Get it from Amazon for $23.02+ (available in nine color combos).
21. Some floating shelves to install in your bathroom so you have a dedicated space for showing off your candles, bouquets, and fancy hand towels.
Promising review:"These shelves are so beautiful! My bathroom doesn't have a counter around the sink so this is perfect. It is modern and sleek and the wood and cast-iron shelves are very well built and sturdy. I was surprised that these are such high quality considering the price." — Vincent
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors).
22. A tufted headboard for adding a soft touch to your bedroom without needing to purchase an entire pricey bed frame. This way, when you decide to binge watch The Real Housewives in bed, your back won't be up against the literal wall.
amazon.com
Promising review: 'I wish there was more than 5 STARS. This headboard is beautiful, very well made, the legs are easy to put on, comes with everything you need. The color, fabric, and button tufting is magnificent!!! When I finish building my home I will be purchasing more for the guest rooms. I bought a king size and it fits perfectly. A+ on quality and got it four days before estimated delivery.' — D.B.
Get it from Amazon for $91.92+ (available in twin, full, and queen and nine colors)
23. A super thin electric fireplace that's designed to mount directly on the wall, no construction required. It comes with a remote control that lets you adjust the flame colors and speed, and set a timer.
amazon.com
Promising review: "Installation was quick and easy, it's very very slim to the wall profile-wise. The heat output is great and it's quiet, it's heating an approximately 1,000-square foot basement to comfortable levels. I was frozen down here, now I just set the fireplace on low and it's 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus it looks awesome, the remote is easy enough to use. I've had tons of compliments on it." — m.code
Get it from Amazon for $164.99+ (available in seven sizes).
24. A wireless library light to softly illuminate your favorite art piece or collection of books. These mount to the wall with just a few quick steps, are battery operated, and controlled via remote.
amazon.com, amazon.com
The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation your self. Each unit runs off of three AAAs (get a 36-pack here before you forget!) and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.
Promising review: "For the price, you can't beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." — Paris Seder
Get it from Amazon for $26.09+ (available in three colors).
25. A three-drawer accent dresser with mirrored fronts for a touch of drama. Sooooo many nightstands are just a table with a small drawer, but what if you have actual stuff you need to store? Here's your solution, people!
amazon.com
Promising review: 'Buy it!!!!! Absolutely stunning little dresser/night table. I am blown away by how well it's made and how well it was packaged. You can see that the particleboard that it was packaged with on top is sturdier than most Ikea furniture! I love this style and have not been able to find anything like this in stores. Each piece is unique since it's real wood! The drawers are soft closing and deep. It comes ready to go, aside from the legs which you must attach. I had some issues and customer service was quick and solved my issue! I will be purchasing additional furniture from this company and have already recommended them to my sister. I can't stop staring at it ❤️.' — Carmen Petru Tudosa
Get it from Amazon for $159.98.
26. A panel of velvet blackout curtains that are as beautiful as they are effective. They can block out up to 75% of sunlight, so your room stays warm longer in the winter and cooler in the summer. They're also machine washable, because you never know.
amazon.com
Promising review: "These curtains are beautiful! They're even more beautiful in person. Love the velvet touch, plus the emerald color looks so elegant. Before you hang them, I would advise you steam them to get the wrinkle out. I can't wait to get another color! You'll be happy with your purchase." — Alex
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors).
27. And an adjustable gold curtain rod to elevate your window game even further. Reviewers comment on how sturdy they are — perfect for heavier-than-usual window treatments.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"I think this curtain rod is a great product. It is well-made, has good hardware, and is a good price for this quality. I have purchased a total of three now. I love the matte gold in my modern farmhouse-style home. It is a nice dark matte gold, rather than some products that are more yellow gold. I have a big window in my dining room that has quite a bit of weight on the curtain rod from velvet drapes, and it is not sagging at all. This will be my go-to curtain rod for my entire (new) home." — Aerus
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five widths and three colors).
28. Some LED Lights to add some extra lighting to your kitchen that can be voice-controlled via Alexa and Google Home. These light strips are super easy to install and have a color spectrum of over 16 million colors. They can even sync with your music!
amazon.com
Promising review:"We love our new strip lights so much that I decided to buy a second set. The first one was installed above the kitchen cabinets, where we placed some artwork and vases. The second set was placed under the kitchen island top. Grandkids love speaking to Alexa to change the colors of the lights. Set up was extremely easy, and it works with the Alexa app." — junin07
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four lengths).
29. A microfiber quilt set to give your bed a cohesive look. I know you've spent years accumulating a pillowcase here, a quilt there, but it's time to upgrade to a set.
Amazon
The set comes with a coverlet and shams.
Promising review:"I bought this for a vacation home we own. I wanted something lightweight and inexpensive that would do the job. My husband and I visited for a week and we're so pleasantly surprised. We love this bedding! I've always been a big comfy comforter person. Now I'm not, because of this awesome quilt." — J. Dermody
Get the set from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four sizes and 16 colors).
30. A floor lamp that can light up any area of any room thanks to its bright light but won't make too much of a visual impact thanks to its minimalist design. The white lampshade will also diffuse the light so it's nice and soft.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"Beyond easy to put together, I didn't even look at the instructions. You have to clip on the shade to assemble — I didn't expect that but it was super easy (you can't tell by looking at it). The whole thing took me about five minutes. Looks great in my room." — NTP
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in brass and black)
31. And a multi-globe floor lamp with mid-century modern vibes for adding a lot of light to any room with only one fixture.
amazon.com
Promising review: "After seeing an orb lamp at West Elm I went looking for one that isn't $500. This lamp is definitely a shiny, brassy gold and not a satin, champagne-color gold, but I actually love the color! My new house has a much more vintage, art-deco vibe than my last place, and I think it fits right in with that. The milky orbs are beautiful and make the light nice and warm. It is pretty bright, but that works for me. I have it in a corner of my office that I don't look directly at very often, and I think it will be the perfect alternative to overhead lights. All-in-all, I'm a huge fan and highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $87.09+ (available in three finishes).
