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 $39.98+ (available in three colors).
3. Prismatic window film — get a little more privacy with these pretty prisms. Plus, when the sun shines through, you'll see rainbows everywhere. What an easy solution to a lack of color!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Buy it just for the prisms! 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.

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

Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute, and the little, itty-bitty lighting element does a good job of lighting. It's just enough, so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." — 1Thand

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

Lots of fun!" — Paula L

25. A duck seat cushion to help prevent any quack — I mean back aches while you're working from home.
Amazon
Promising review: "This product is a little smaller than maybe what I was expecting. Regardless, it is still very comfortable. I spend a lot of my time sitting on the computer but don't have a legitimate desk chair, and this has definitely been a breath of fresh air for my rather unforgiving wooden kitchen chairs. Plus, I was looking for something cute and fun to bring some more color to my apartment, and this adorable duck definitely accomplishes that.

32. 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!
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.
