"This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it's beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it.

Promising review: "These brass bow knobs are so beautiful and work perfectly with the dresser that I bought for my baby girl's nursery! I was worried that they would be too small or that the quality would be lacking, so I paid three times the price for a set of backup knobs from Crate & Kids that I will now be returning.

One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use, but it's still cute, and I could've been more careful holding it. It's not a super stiff brush, but it works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well, and food doesn't get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." — Hannah Jo Wilson

I didn't want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn't that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?" — NMW
Get it from Amazon for $9.69+ (available in five colors).
15. A foldable sleeper chair perfect for maximizing your space and making your room as cozy as could possibly be. Since you can't sleep on an actual cloud, you may as well lounge on the next best thing. ☁️

Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
18. A fruit tart bed because the only thing more delicious than this bed is the kitty that'll snuggle into it! Is it a cat bed or decor??? Honestly, why not both?
Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed
Take it from BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower:"Not only does my cat sleep in this every day, but she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment."
Promising review: "The cats love it! They birdwatch in it until they fall asleep. They also play with the stuffed fruit, which I didn't think they would. Both seem to enjoy it, and they fight over it at times. I bought the large. Very happy with this purchase! My cats are picky, and most things I buy turn out to be a waste, not this one!" — A Hutch
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (also available in banana or toast shapes).

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six colors).
20. A paw-shaped chair cushion purrrrfect for anyone who's ever wanted to snuggle within a kitty's paw. Can you even imagine anything comfier than that?
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It's not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great, but even without it, this cushion is soft and comfy! It's still worth every dime. It's perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft, cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it." — mandarabbit
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).
21. A decorative seashell pillow that gives total "cutesy Florida beach house" vibes. You may not have an ocean-view bedroom, but these pillows will certainly make you feel like you do. 🌊
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:" This thing is so soft and so pretty, and the color is so rich! I thought I'd be throwing it off the bed like, well, a throw pillow (I just got why they're called that), but I end up essentially snuggling it like a stuffed animal because it's so comfortable. It adds the right amount of '60s/'70s campy hotel kitsch to my room." — Ashley Diamond
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
22. A cherry toilet brush for anyone who wants to add a bit of ~whimsy~ to their bathroom decor. Most people add a maraschino cherry to their cocktail — you, however? You will use it to add a tropical flair to the latrine.

Check out a TikTok of the cherry toilet brush in action.
Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly!! Fits nicely into my bathroom decor. It was delivered in perfect condition and I've used it three times now. If you're thinking about buying this...do it!" — Michelle Maroon
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
23. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set because wiping down your blade every time you switch tasks to avoid cross-contamination is a hassle too strenuous for your dinner routine. Why settle for silver-colored knives that are totally plain and boring when you can have a rainbow of blades zhuzhing up your kitchen aesthetic?!
www.amazon.com
It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them, as this reviewer did!
Promising review:"This is my best buy of the month and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives." — GWP
Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $20.32.
24. A vibrant duvet cover set to bring some ooh la la to your bedding and give your room an instant facelift. Why spend $150+ on a Pottery Barn set when reviewers claim this one is even better???
Amazon
Promising review:"I usually buy bedding from Pottery Barn because of the excellent quality. I did, however, fall in love with this pattern and decided to take a chance for the value, especially since the inside of the duvet cover comes with loops to attach to the comforter. The duvet set arrived in one day and was nicely packaged. The quality is excellent, and the pattern is beyond my expectations. This is better than Pottery Barn!" — LA
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in five sizes and 43 patterns).
25. Or a gingham or pom-pom duvet set that will bring a bit of pastel prettiness to your bedroom. Hellooooo, spring!!!! 🌸🌷🌼
Amazon
The set comes with a cover and two pillowcases. Grab an affordable comforter here.
Promising review: "I chose this duvet cover for my daughter's room because she wanted a lighter color comforter, but our dogs sleep in her bed, so I wanted to be able to wash it easily. The pom-poms are small but a cute addition. The duvet cover is on the thinner side and soft. It has a zipper and four corner ties. Happy with this purchase and the price." — Kim
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available sizes twin–king and eight styles).
26. A set of rainbow wineglasses to ~spring~ some merriment to your sit-back-and-sip-rosé nights. They're so cute; they're basically a piece of decor when you're not actually using them. Your book club members are gonna start hounding you for the link to these.
Amazon
The Wine Savant is a New York-based small business established in 2017 that specializes in unique, quality drinkware and accessories.

29. And because you need somewhere to put your Lego creation: a vase shaped like a stack of dice you'll absolutely fall in love with the moment it ~rolls~ onto your coffee table.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in five other styles).
30. A fanciful mushroom kitchen timer to add a bit of ~whimsy~ to your baking routine. This is much cuter than using your phone to keep track of time when plopping things in the oven.
www.amazon.com
This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying.
Promising review: "This is whimsical and fun; my kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.' Love it." — Vik V
Get it from Amazon for $8.55 (available in four colors).
31. A gorgeous linen-scented reed diffuser because those plug-in-the-wall scent diffusers ruin your whole home aesthetic — so why not get something pretty and amazingly scented? Plus, it comes with real preserved baby's breath (so freakin' gorgeous) and eight pure cotton sticks so you can adjust precisely how much aroma is released.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love the aesthetic of it and the smell is amazing! I bought two more as soon as I saw how nice this was. The quality feels so expensive and luxurious that it just had me in a chokehold, and I definitely love the look." — Isabell Thao
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four styles and 26 scents).
32. An ultra-soft faux-fur rug that Frasier himself would wish he had to transform his father's, uh...let's say, "rugged" couch into a throne worth sitting upon. The greatest part of it all is that it doesn't shed, so you don't need to worry about white fuzz getting everywhere.
Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these, and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated, and then, topped with the blanket, they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet, and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside, too." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors).
33. Peel-and-stick vinyl subway tile because have you seen the prices of professional-grade backsplashes lately?!?!?! You're gonna wanna avoid those contractor fees by getting this super easy, customized backsplash you can simply stick onto the wall yourself for a quick kitchen facelift.
www.amazon.com
These renter-friendly beauties are fully removable, btw! You'll just need to heat with a hair dryer to unstick the adhesive. For the full install, reviewers recommend: a level, sanding block and sandpaper, measuring tape, ruler, screwdriver to remove outlets, and utility knife or scissors.
Promising review: " These are great and easy to install. You have to cut the first section. I did put them on a textured wall and have no issues with them peeling off. I made a mistake and had to pull some of them off and they came off with no problem. They are sticky, so I did have to pull a little bit; no damage to the paint or the wall, though. You will need a VERY sharp knife and a pair of scissors. I used a metal carpenter's square as a straight edge, and it worked nicely. Nice upgrade to my little kitchen. I needed about 30 tiles, and I had to buy 40 for cuts and mistakes. You can't reuse the sheet if you pull it off. I found that if you have to cut the tiles, make sure you have the 'grout' on the cut; it makes it easier to align and hides small mistakes." — Tricia Hendrickson
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors, and in dozens more designs and colors on their store page).
34. A set of cute velvet shams that feel so soft you'll want to burrow yourself in them all throughout your cozy night at home. They're also super easy to swap out when you inevitably get the itch to redecorate your room (for the seventh time this year).
Amazon
Also, if you can't find an exact measurement match for your throw pillows, you can go down a couple of inches. The pillows will look overstuffed, like you spent a couple of hundos on them.
Promising review:"It's easy to see why these affordable yet high-quality throw pillow covers are a best seller. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, and they seem durable and well-made. What a simple and inexpensive way to change up your decor!" — Erika V.
Get the two-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 41 colors and nine sizes).

Amazon
These are pillow covers — not inserts. If you need an insert, you can get 'em from Amazon starting at $9.49.
Promising review: "I bought these to put on my bed, and I absolutely love, love, love them! One side has a super fluffy and soft side, and the back is surprisingly soft; it's almost like a suede feel. Be sure you have fully stuffed pillows!" — Rah Rah
Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six sizes and 18 colors).
36. A Baroque mirror your friends won't believe you didn't spend plenty of $$$$ on at some high-end antique store. And is it just me, or does it pretty much look exactly like the $500+ Anthropologie Primrose mirror?! 👀
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This mirror is gorgeous and very well-made. It feels heavier than I expected, so I used a 3M Claw to hang it, and it's definitely secure. Looks exactly like the picture. I wanted the Anthropologie Primrose mirror but couldn't stomach the price tag, even with deep discounts from their home outlet pop-up. This is an excellent [alternative], so definitely worth it." — Jillian Coneys
"I was looking for an inexpensive [version] of *the* Anthropologie mirror for my mantle. Did lots of searching and review reading, and this seemed like the best bang for your buck. It's so nice! It's heavy and sturdy (not chintzy) and looks great in my living room. The flourish on top is tasteful, and the antique gold color really does make it look vintage." — Eliza
Get it from Amazon for $85.99+ (available in 10 sizes and five finishes).
37. A ceramic essential-oil diffuser so pretty, you'll seriously think it's the expensive Vitruvi one. It's sleek, elegant, and perfect for releasing that jasmine oil you absolutely adore.
Amazon
According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.
Promising reviews:"I was looking at getting the Vitruvi diffuser but stumbled across this. I'm so happy I did! This is incredible quality for half the price!" — Amazon Customer
"I like everything about this diffuser. It is pretty to look at, has a ceramic top, works well (I can actually see the vapor across the room), and you can smell the oil even in a large room. I am happy I found this diffuser." — jenny r
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four colors).
38. A made-in-Italy diamond-cut decanter so you can feel like you belong in a fancy private library as you sip that $8 bottle of whiskey (don't worry, your drink will look much more expensive than it really is).
Amazon
This glassware is made in Italy!
Promising review:"I purchased this for my brother as a Christmas gift last year. The package arrived in perfect condition, with its contents safely intact. After pouring our first glass of whiskey from this decanter, we immediately felt more sophisticated and used words like 'indubitably,' 'transcendent,' and 'ergo.' Indeed, drinking from this decanter will make even Canadian LTD taste piquant." — Justin Pickens
Get it from Amazon for $17.10 (available in five styles).

James Bond 'has to be a guy', says Helen Mirren
Dame Helen Mirren has said James Bond should be played by a man, even though she is "such a feminist". In a new interview with Saga Magazine, the Oscar-winning actor said "you can't have a woman. It just doesn't work. James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else". Amazon MGM Studios will produce the next iteration of the spy franchise, with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight set to write what will become the 26th film in the series. The Studios previously said they were planning a "fresh" take on franchise but would honour the "legacy" of the "iconic character". The 80-year-old is currently starring opposite former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan in the much anticipated film adaption of The Thursday Murder Club, in which she plays a retired spy. Brosnan, 72, also told the magazine that he believed a male actor should continue to play Bond and he was excited to "see a whole new exuberance and life for this character." He starred in four Bond films during his tenure as 007, starting with GoldenEye in 1995 and finishing with Die Another Day, which was released in 2002. Mirren has previously been quoted saying that the concept of James Bond was "born out of profound sexism", and that women have always been an "incredibly important part" of the Secret Service. Mirren and Brosnan are not the first to push back on the idea of Bond being played by a woman, with the sentiment echoed by Brosnan's Die Another Day costar, Halle Berry. "In 2025, it's nice to say, 'Oh, she should be a woman.' But, I don't really know if I think that's the right thing to do," she said, speaking at Cannes Film Festival in May. The James Bond franchise was owned by the Broccoli family for more than 60 years, but producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson sold creative control to Amazon for a reported $1bn (£760m) earlier this year. Speculation about who will next play the titular character has been rife, with British actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson and James Norton rumoured as frontrunners for the part. There is no current release date set for the next film. Who will be the next James Bond? Speculation mounts after Amazon buys 007 Peaky Blinders creator will write new James Bond film Amazon plans 'fresh' James Bond but will respect 007 legacy

E.l.f.'s Stay Cool Primer Stick — it's great for giving your skin a moisturizing boost and making you feel a little more awake even if you *did* stay up too late waiting for the enemies to turn into lovers again. A deeply exfoliating back scrubber because ~you've got your own back~ when it comes to superior self-care. Remove built-up layers of dry skin so that all of your delicious shower products actually get absorbed instead of sloughing around atop a bunch of needs-to-go skin dust. (Yeah. Gross.) The cult-favorite Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that's a beauty standby for a reason: It really *does* soak up extra oils your skin makes throughout the day without ruining your makeup. A true MVP, tbh, and especially helpful if you tend to be oily in the heat. Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30 — it smells good, feels good, and gives you SPF 30 protection with an easy swipe of your hands. No more heavy and oily sunblock for you. Grab a can of this to feel like a skincare princess the next time you're poolside. Some Bubble Skincare Slam Dunk Face Moisturizer with a flower-shaped dispenser so you can be as pretty as a flower and treat your skin as gently as a petal, too. Lightweight but effective, this one really is a slam dunk. A box of "Zombie" face masks because reviewers RAVE about these masks, and what's more fun than putting something called "Zombie Pack" in your cart? Make your skin feel softer and tighter in less time than it takes to say, "Walking Dead rewatch?" A popular foot exfoliant peel that will have your heels sandal-ready in no time. (Tip: Wear socks while you sleep during the peeling process so you don't wake up with a bed full of sloughed-off skin.) E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara to give your lashes all the "oomph" without giving your wallet any "oof." Elizavecca's Milky Piggy Hell Pore Vitamin Bright Turn Peeling Gel — it's perfect for rollin' your way to smoother, happier skin. This gel transforms into squishy little pebbles so you can have a soothing application process *and* a weirdly-entertaining removal when it's over. A Benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder to make any greasy hair strands go bye-bye and take your 'do from oily to fluffy in a jiffy! A handy Pure Instinct Roll-On so you always have a ~fancy Italian~ essential oil perfume roller ready to make you feel (and smell!) your very best at a moment's notice. And since it blends with your skin's pH, the smell is totally unique to YOU, which makes it the reigning royal of signature scents. A bottle of Witch Piggy Hell Pore Control formulated with 97% hyaluronic acid to really take your skin softness up a notch and help buildup your skin barrier to prevent future breakouts. And who *doesn't* want a bottle with a lil' cauldron-swirling piggy in their skincare routine? A smudge-proof eyeliner stamp if you're like me and would rather press-and-go your winged look than the alternative. (Which is totally just crying in front of the mirror for a good 20 minutes, trying to make both sides look the same.) Fret no more with this superhero of a beauty tool our makeup ancestors could only dream of! A shampoo scalp massager perfect for taking your self-care game to the next level in or out of the shower. I use this with my Mielle rosemary oil, and not only does it feel lovely, but it helps stimulate the roots and get the most out of my haircare products. A gentle bubbly clay mask that's carbonated, because soda shouldn't be the only thing bringing a little bubble to your life... It should be in your skincare routine, too! Clay-like going on, and thick and foamy when it's done the work, get ready to feel like Glinda coming down in your very own clay mask bubble on your next big self-care night. Alleyoop's portable travel razor that will give you the ability to shave on the go without having to contend with your regular long-handled monstrosity elbowing out your mascara from the packing list. Just spin the wheel to reveal your triple-blade razor, moisturizing bar, and refillable spray bottle. A Marshmallow Whip Maker, which, for all intents and purposes, is a magic wand that will turn your boring ol' cleansers into a foamy marshmallow dream. And it's *extra* helpful if you have two cleansers you love (🙋♀️) and want to mix them together in the most decadent way possible. A soothing Jelly Lip Melt some reviewers say works even better than Laneige! And *this one* comes in the cutest (and most gift-able) little jelly mold that will light up your nightstand and nourish your lips. A mini macaron gel manicure kit because one of the biggest perks of doing your nails at home is making it ~aesthetic~, and this is a dessert for your eyes and for your nails. Tonymoly's cult-fave, underrated Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner with a milky consistency the whole internet goes gaga for AND WITH GOOD REASON. It helps calm your skin, gives you a bouncy, clear texture, and makes the perfect base for your makeup. A bottle of thermal color-changing nail polish to save yourself from choosing just *one* shade on your next nail day. If you were all about those temperature-changing spoons as a kid and wish you could bring more of that energy into your adult life, Cirque Colors has got you. A set of iridescent mermaid makeup brushes if your grown-up version of playing mermaids is perfecting your shimmery eye look. A bar of natural, plastic-free solid shampoo perfect for travel (no TSA liquid limits here!) or for just being a little kinder to the environment because there's no plastic packaging involved. Imagine. A set of "Mini Scoops" ice cream-themed face masks because peak self-care is a dessert-themed night that's great for your skin *and* won't cause a tummy ache. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers so you can have a visual reminder to reapply instead of, you know, a burn reminder that you didn't. When your sunscreen wears off, the sticker turns a cheery purple to remind *you* not to end up a not-so-cheery red. And a refillable sunscreen sponge applicator if you LOVE the protection sunscreen offers, but not so much the goopy-hand feeling that can come with it. Dab it onto yourself with this spongy applicator and you (and any kiddos in the vicinity) will actually look forward to reapplying instead of dreading it. And finally, a Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque for the kind of long-lasting waterproof color that even a fairy godmother couldn't accomplish on her own. Let it sit for 30 seconds, and you're set for a day of gorgeously hued lips! When your mermaid brushes finally arrive: Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
