A bedside caddy to store and organize all the stuff you need when it's one of those can't-get-out-of-bed days. Promising review:"I had a nicer-looking, more expensive version of this in my cart originally. This was one-third of that price, and I'm so glad I went with this one. It's got a sturdy backing on both pieces (piece with pockets and a piece that goes between mattresses), one large pocket closest to the bed, and three decent-sized mesh pockets. I have it between my mattress and box spring." — Danielle Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in brown and black). 7.

Bonus: The handles make it easy to grab and go for game night elsewhere. Promising review: "These have been such a huge space saver in our game closet. We put our games in these and got rid of the tattered and broken cardboard boxes. They close tight so when we grab a game everything doesn't fall out.

A gaming controller stand so everyone in your house (including you) stops leaving gaming controllers on the couch, floor, or in random drawers. It has three adjustable tiers that swivel, so you can neatly perch all your gear — controllers, headphones, handheld consoles — like tiny trophies on display. This small but mighty stand has made my life so much easier — and I'm not being dramatic. I have two little kids, including one especially grabby toddler, and we run everything through a PlayStation: TV, movies, streaming, gaming — you name it. So the controllers are in constant use and used to be constantly missing. My kids loved to grab them, press every button, or stash them in mystery locations. It was chaos. Sometimes we'd hide them ourselves to keep them out of reach, then forget where we put them. This stand solved all of it. Now the controllers have a dedicated home, the kids can't reach them, and bonus — it actually looks really good. I'm a huge fan. Get it from Yamazaki for $35 (available in white or black). 11.

These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.67. 13. A dust-free sectioned tray that'll make you feel like you run a very tiny, very chic jewelry boutique out of your dresser drawer. Each tray has compartments for rings, earrings, bracelets, and other sparkly bits, so your jewelry's not just tossed in a tangled heap anymore. They stack neatly, look expensive (without actually being expensive), and will make finding the right pair of hoops feel like less of a scavenger hunt. Promising review:"I love these stackable jewelry trays. They take up less space on the dresser, but organize the jewelry remarkably well. When stacked and the top one covered, your jewelry can remain dust-free. There are more than enough holders, which are lined with a non-abrasive cloth. Well made and great for organizing." — Alot2do Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four styles and different pack options). 14. A floating shelf to turn your favorite books into a work of literal art. Instead of jamming them into the big bookshelf, place a few on the wall to show them off.

A set of versatile magnetic hooks because so many cooking tools just shoved in a random drawer, never to be seen again. Instead, give them their own spot on the wall so they're always organized and accessible. Promising review: "These hooks are amazing! I have very little kitchen space and don't want to drill a bunch of holes in a rented apartment. These hooks are great for the fridge, microwave, and stove hood. I especially like that they are deep enough that I can face my measuring cups and spoons outward so I can see the sizes at a glance. You won't be disappointed in these hooks. Highly recommend." — BAJ Get them from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in packs of 6, 15, 20, 28, and 60). 17. A rotating rack that spins like a lazy Susan but for your sneakers, heels, and "I'll swear I'll wear those someday" shoes. Its vertical design means it takes up minimal space while keeping every pair visible and easy to grab — because digging through a shoe pile stinks. SpaceAid is a small business! Promising review:"First of all… this was the easiest thing I've ever put together. It took a few minutes to assemble. Secondly, it is awesome… I've had numerous friends want the info on where I've bought it. We are in the process of remodeling a closet, so we are planning to build shelves around it. But in the meantime, it's going in my office as a plant and book shelf. My mother is planning to purchase one for her pantry in her kitchen. So well worth the money." — lauren Get it from Amazon for $99.98+ (available in four sizes and colors). 18. A set of airtight, stackable containers if you have no pantry space ... like at all. Instead of having a bunch of unsightly boxes and bags stashed in the corners of your countertops or in random drawers and cabinets, decant your nonperishables into these sleek, clear containers and display them for all to see. Promising review: "I love these containers so much. My pantry looks so organized. They come in all sizes and are very sturdy. Lid is neither too tight, or loose, and the snack stored inside stays so fresh with its very nice, airtight mechanism. Love the idea of stacking which saves lot of space in pantry. Can't wait to order many more different sizes replanting my entire pantry with just this product." — hetal Get it from Amazon for $26.34+ (available in several sizes and quantities). 19. A pack of hanging vacuum bags that'll finally let you reclaim your closet from the puffer jackets, spare duvet, and other bulky space-hoggers you only need like two times a year.

They even protect your stuff from dust, moisture, and suspicious closet smells. Promising review:"Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" — Jia Yan Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.99 + (available in four colors and a six-pack). 20.

It's sturdy and hold a lot, especially kids clothes! Easy to bring the sections to and from the laundry room." — Adriene Bruce Get it from Amazon for $40.87 (available in five colors). 21. Or keep dirty clothes in a laundry hamper that hangs from your door. This product is great because it unzips from the bottom, so you don't have to take it down and stick your hand in the bag to fish out all the dirties. This is also a great solution if you're running low on floor space. Promising review:"We've been using this awhile now. Our bathroom layout is too narrow for a traditional hamper but we wanted something near the shower. This can definitely hold a full load of laundry. The design makes it so it doesn't bulge out so much. It keeps its lay flat design. The zipper is borderline genius. We put a laundry basket underneath and unzip to transfer the laundry. Nothing ever gets stuck since the zipper is the full length of the bottom. Even with a large load of laundry the zipper is easy to slide. It has not pinched or got caught on any of our clothes. Helpful" — Leah Batchelor Get it from Amazon for $10.19+ (available in six colors). 22. A pair of wall-mounted hat racks to give your baseball caps a dedicated spot *without* crushing them into a drawer or stacking them into a wobbly tower. These will keep your favorite hats organized, easy to grab, and looking fresh — because a good cap deserves better than the back of a chair. Promising review:"I was looking for a way to neatly store my baseball caps, and this Durmmur hat rack works perfectly!

Whether you mount it, hang it, or stack it, this sturdy organizer will create way more space for your produce, all while holding a whopping 50+ pounds. Promising review: "I was looking for a three-tiered over-the-door hanging basket for a long time, but could only find those that were meant to hang from a hook. I needed to get fruits off the counter to save space and this was the perfect solution. It's very well made and hangs perfectly from our kitchen pantry door. Each basket is equal in size, which is great as a lot of other hanging baskets have one large bottom tier and two smaller tiers. The unit as a whole gave us much-needed extra storage space. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an over-the-door solution instead of the typical hanging baskets. Well worth the price!" — Lisa G. Get it from Amazon for $29.98. 25. A pack of six magnetic tea bag organizers that'll make you wonder why more things aren't magnetized so they adhere to the sides of your fridge. Now, your favorite tea will be easy to spot, which sure beats rummaging around a dark cabinet looking for a near-empty box to see if there's just one more packet left. Amazon Promising review: "Our electric kettle is right next to the fridge and I wanted easy access to tea bags for the million times a day my husband and I make tea. These are perfect!

Great price and functionality!" — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in black or silver). 26.

Love love love." — Nicki cook Get it from Amazon for $16.10. 27. Some shelf dividers that'll finally stop your neatly folded stacks of sweaters, jeans, and linens from toppling over like a poorly built Jenga tower. Just slide them onto your shelves, and boom — instant organization with very little effort. Be sure to use a T-shirt folder if you want to reach peak neatness. Promising review:"If you need to Marie Kondo your closet, this is really useful and it looks really nice. I got the grey ones. Bought two to see how they were. Perfect. Bought six more. Loving it!!! Really recommended this product, ready to install and very sturdy." — Nicolò R. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.99. 28. Or a pack of two transparent dividers if you want your closet's aesthetic to be a little ~elevated~. Sweaters, pants, T-shirts, and other foldable items can be sorted into specific areas instead of being piled into drawers. Promising review: " These dividers have changed my life! I put them on the top shelf of my clothes closet and divide sections into the type of clothes I want. One section has blue jeans, another section has black pants, another section has lightweight summer pants, and I can see everything just looking up at the shelf. My closet is no longer a mess, and the top shelf above the hanging clothes is no longer the place where I just throw things and can't keep track of them. I never knew what was up there, but now I do! As I said, I just bought a second set of them for my second closet." — Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in clear, black, or white and in packs of two, four, six, or eight). 29.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three types and three sizes). 30. A door file organizer because some things just need a designated spot. Whether you're sorting school supplies, mail, or random odds and ends, this hanging organizer keeps everything visible and in its place. Promising review: "We have a small house so I'm always trying to find ways to conserve space but still have it neat and easy to see/find. This organizer is perfect in our micro playroom closet for storing the kids construction paper by color. Before this solution, I had all the papers in a pile together but it was tedious thumbing through it to find the colors they wanted. I decided not to use the labels at this time but saving them in case I change my mind." — Karissa Hendrickson Get it from Amazon for $11.04+ (available in three sizes). 31. A 10-pack of Wonder Hangers that'll magically multiply your closet space by letting you hang several garments *vertically* instead of cramming everything onto one rod.

I can FINALLY get to the small jars that always end up at the back of the fridge behind bigger items!" — Linda C. Little Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three different sizes). 34. A pantry door organizer so you can get the most out of your kitchen's vertical space. Why stick to only using shelves when there's a whole door that can be turned into storage?

As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes."

Promising review:"It's nice to be able to find things in the refrigerator and be able to pull out the whole tray container to see what's in the back of the fridge. I don't know if this happens to you, but I find my way to the back every so often, and come to find out a jar in the back expired a year ago. Now I can see everything and use it." — BookBroke Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $31.99. 37.

We have it suctioned on the sink, not the counter." — Erin Johnson Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 39. A vinyl rack to show off your most precious records in style.

Thank you!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes and colors). 42. A honeycomb divider so all your socks and undies finally have a home of their own.

And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble." — Brigette Get it from Amazon for $9.17. 43. A shelf organizer/extra hanging rod combo for getting the most out of your closet's vertical space. Reviewers use the shelves to hold jeans and sweaters and the bottom rod to hang up tops. Promising review:"I'm basically obsessed with this thing already. I just got it today so I can't speak to long term, but it's amazing how much space this frees up. I have a 1940s house, therefore 1940s tiny closets, and I need to get creative in my space organization. This thing was just what I needed to store sweaters on top and hang all other tops on the bottom. You can't see in the photo but my closet has some space on both sides that's just half-filled now and used to be filled to the brim, barely able to move the hangers. This storage solution makes displaying the sweaters nicer than in drawers of my dresser or hanging. It honestly appears very sturdy and quality to me. The fabric is thick, and the hooks and bar are both metal. All in all, one of my favorite purchases from Amazon." — BobbyL Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes). 44. A two-tier under-sink organizer with a pull-out shelf that'll turn the dark, chaotic depths of your sink cabinet into a neatly arranged storage haven.

Promising review:"I finally got tired of searching for the right spices in my cupboard and began searching for a solution. My spices are in a 16"-wide upper cabinet next to my stove. I love a particular brand of spice and will buy containers and refill bags to refill the bottle. My cabinet was overflowing. With this, I was able to fit all my spices on the racks along with things in the middle and on the bottom. I relocated the bags that are not used but to fill the containers when empty to the shelf above so the majority of my bottles are visible! It was easy to put together and adjust the size. I love the finished organization!" — Lisa Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 46. A pack of two bra hangers that can hold up to 20 brassieres each.

Promising review:"It's really nice having all three of our wrappings in one place. There's still room in our drawer with this in it too. I love being able to cleanly cut plastic wrap... No longer will I waste plastic wrap or get it stuck to where is pulls off in pieces. This is also a great time saver. It's very easy to clean also. I highly recommend this particular unit. I like that it came with stickers too, that say 'Plastic,' 'Aluminum,' and 'Wax.' I was delighted at the price as well." — Cav Trooper 19D Get it from Amazon for $23.97+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 49. A pull-out cabinet organizer to make struggling to find that one can of chicken noodle soup in the back of the cabinet a thing of the past. Tap to play GIF Promising review: "Super sturdy, glides easily, installs easily, and doesn't waste space. In fact, it makes space so much more effective! So much easier to reach for things, and you don't lose stuff way in the back of a cabinet." — A. Acquilano Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes and packs of one or two). 50. A set of adjustable mug organizers for doubling up on vertical mug storage. This simple but genius product lets you safely stack one mug on top of the other, freeing up at least half of the horizontal cabinet space. Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home. Promising review: "I use these to organize my coffee mugs and my glasses in smaller cabinets. They not only look nicer, they save space without tilting when you try to stack mugs without support. I also use these to stack ramekins and that is also better now. These are adjustable to fit different sizes. I highly recommend these organizers!" — Amazon Customer Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 51. A broom and mop organizer you can put on a wall to keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the kitchen floor. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis (we're talking about you, broom that's shoved in the space between the fridge and the wall). Promising review:"Hard to get a good picture in my very small pantry area, but this hanger works great for keeping my cleaning tools at hand yet off the floor. Mounting template worked great and it came with a couple of bags of screws and anchors so I had the right ones for my wall. I would buy this again." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in three colors). 52. A double closet rod for literally doubling your closet's hanging space. Because why is a T-shirt on a hanger taking up only 50% of the usable space? Never again! Promising review:"This product has been one of my favorite Amazon finds, I'm not sure why I didn't think of it sooner. It has doubled my closet space in my apartment where I can't make any damage in terms of adding another permanent shelf — so this has been a perfect solution. It was easy to assemble and is sturdy. I've had it for a couple of weeks now with no issue. Your closet has to be pretty high for this to work or else your shirts above are going to get caught on the hangers below and for my case, some of my shirts are dragging on the floor — just keep this in mind when you're thinking about purchasing." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $15.18+ (available in three metal finishes). 53. A pack of nonslip velvet hangers to give your closet a more cohesive look and free up some space. These are super slim and take up way less space than traditional plastic or wooden hangers, so you'll be able to hang more garments and make your closet look more tidy at the same time. Truly a miracle! Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed This hangers helped me free up so much space in my closet! I was using bulky wooden hangers before, and while I liked the uniform look, they took up way too much space. I love these velvet ones because they're also really aesthetically pleasing but take up 75% less space than a traditional wooden hanger, so my closet looks like it has less clothes in it but it's actually holding significantly more than before. I'm going to slowly replace all my hangers in every closet with these, they're that amazing. Promising review:"These hangers are amazing. They take up minimal space, are sturdy, and, best of all, the clothes don't fall down from them so it keeps everything looking neat. I have replaced all of the hangers in my closet with these hangers, and I couldn't be happier. I am pretty sure I now have double the amount of space. I love this product and would buy it again." — Vida Maars Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $16.29+ (available in five colors and in a 30-, 50-, or 100-pack). 54. A corner counter shelf that'll finally use all that space in the corner of your countertop. And in an aesthetically pleasing way, too! Amazon Promising review: " Super cute little corner shelf and perfect in my small space. I needed just a bit of extra space and it's just what I needed!" — CSW Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three colors). 55. A cord organizer to camouflage all the wires you have shoved into that one corner behind the television. This is a must-have for those of us who do any form of WFH. Amazon Promising review:"I had a mess of cables on the table next to my bed, and if you pulled one too much, the chargers would fall. This keeps everything in place. It is very LARGE, I didn't expect it to be that big, but it holds a full-size surge protector, and I'm able to plug in everything in there! It's very helpful!" — Patrick Pflaumer Get it from Amazon for $31.15+ (available in four colors). 56. A pan storage system that stacks your pans and lids in a way that makes each one accessible without moving the others. Because it totally sucks when you need that one pan, but it's all the way at the bottom of the pan pile (aka the Leaning Tower of Pans). Since they won't be touching, this will also prevent one pan from scratching the other, which is crucial if your pans have any type of coating. Promising review:"This rack is perfect. I put my largest skillet on the bottom and my smallest at the top. I did not secure the rack with the screws that came with it, so I can easily move it if I rearrange my pots and pans area. Even without securing it to the cabinet, it works perfectly and doesn't shift when I remove a pan. I also appreciate the color: Others I have seen are shiny silver, which I did not want. I will be buying another one of these for our cabin. I have already recommended this rack to friends." — CustomerO Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (available in white, silver, or bronze). 57. A double-sided hanging gift wrap organizer, because your present wrapping situation doesn't have to look post-apocalyptic. This space-saving find keeps your wrapping paper, ribbons, gift bags, and tissue paper neatly stored and easy to grab — so you're not wrestling with crumpled rolls every time you need to wrap a birthday gift. Promising review: "I emptied two under-the-bed storage containers filled to the top into this organizer. The pockets are convenient, and they fit so much! I put 24 rolls of wrapping paper and at least 50 bags (if not more) into it, along with bows and some small boxes. So far, it is holding the weight on the back of a door. I would highly recommend this product." — Jess "I used to store all the decorations in a long plastic box which was heavy n cumbersome. Then, I'd have to go through it to find what I wanted. The hanging decoration is wonderful! A spot for everything you need and hangs on a rod in your closet. Highly recommend!" — Charles V. Lavander Get it from Amazon for $21.87. 58. A nine-piece stainless-steel bowl set (complete with strainer) that nests together for easy storage. I actually use my set every day, and I love that when it's not in use, I can fit it all in the biggest bowl with the airtight lid on. It only takes up a small section of a drawer when I'm not using it. Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed I cook a lot — sometimes for a crowd — so I need plenty of bowl sizes to handle all the chopping, mixing, and general kitchen chaos I encounter on any given day. This set has basically become my sous chef, whether I'm throwing together a big dinner party or just making an easy weeknight meal for my family. The silicone base keeps them from sliding all over the place when I'm aggressively stirring, and the airtight lids mean I can prep ingredients days ahead and stash them in the fridge. The strainer? Just a little bonus. And I'll take stainless steel over plastic any day — non-reactive, non-porous, etc! Get it from Bloomingdale's for $59.99 (available in five silicone base colors) 59. A sturdy Command spray bottle mount so your cleaning supplies can stop taking up valuable cabinet floor space and instead use wall space. Oh, and each mount can hold up to 2.5 pounds. And like regular Command products, they won't peel off paint once they're removed. Promising review:"Where have these been my whole life?! I initially saw these on a video about home organizing and had to have them. So happy I bought them! They save room on the shelves under my sink and prevent clutter. Now the bottles I use most are available at my fingertips." — Katie Get two from Amazon for $9.40. 60. And some mounted wine racks that are a triple threat: they allow you to show off your pretty stemware; they're easily accessible when wine o'clock hits, and you'll free up space in your cabinets. Promising review: "I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wine glasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fits the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" — Cycle Mom Get three rows (enough for nine glasses) from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors and two styles).

Just 32 Products So Good, They Have 100,000+ Rave Ratings
1. A revitalizing cuticle oil made with a blend of sunflower seed oil, cottonseed oil, vitamin E, and safflower oil — it can help strengthen your nails while promoting nail growth at the same time. Just apply one drop to each cuticle, massage it in, and then join the 102,000 reviewers who swear by this magical manicure in a bottle. Promising review:"I reached a point where my hands and nails are just trashed from gardening and washing dishes without gloves. I bought this oil hoping to strengthen my brittle nails. It's only been like a week using it, but oh my, this stuff is amazing. My thumb pads had rough, cracking skin. Cuticles were a shredded mess. One or two applications of this stuff have totally turned around the health of my hands. And it smells amazing. There's some kind of magical combination in this oil that is far beyond your average cuticle oil. I might start putting this stuff all over me. 10-star product." — Kate Get it from Amazon for $9.85+ (available in three sizes, various pack sizes, and 11 styles). 2. The ever-iconic and forever-classic Crocs that have more than 529,000 reviewers marching to the beat of their own comfy, lightweight, and cushiony drum. Not only are they super breathable (thanks to the ventilation holes that double as Jibbtz holders), but they're so easy to clean thanks to the foam-like material. And of course, you can also engage ~sport mode~ but flipping the heel band down for extra support while you zip and zag through your weekend errand run. The Crocband Clog style also has 100,000+ rave ratings — reviewers say these are slightly less wide than the classic style, so they're a great option if you prefer a more snug fit. Promising review: " I used to laugh at Crocs. 'Not me,' I said. 'Never.' Then, in a moment of weakness, I slipped my feet into a pair. Now? I wear them anywhere and everywhere—errands, the backyard, even places where I probably shouldn't be wearing Crocs but do anyway. Comfort over pride, folks. Easy to clean, ridiculously comfortable, and somehow the most practical shoe in existence. If you're on the fence, just give in. Resistance is futile." — JRA7 Get it from Amazon for $29.69+ (available in unisex sizes that range from women's sizes 4–19 and men's sizes 2–17, and in more than 50 colors). 3. A cruelty-free lengthening Essence mascara with a whopping 263,000 5-star ratings and some seriously impressive before and after photos. Oh, did I mention it's UNDER $5?! Some reviewers even compare it to expensive brands like Tarte 👀. Unlike other mascaras at premium price points, reviewers say this one doesn't easily clump or smudge throughout the day and is suitable for sensitive eyes. Fellow BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower loves it: " This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. You can see my before and after photos above. This stuff is magic." Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect, and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Miller Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors). 4. A liquid matte Maybelline lipstick designed to last for up to 16 hours so your color will stay vibrant through your 9-to-5 and your 5-to-9! It's also smudge-proof, so you can make it through lunch without needing to do a full-on lip touchup before heading back to your desk. The reviewer on the left is wearing the shade 340 Exhilarator. Promising review:"This is the best lip color I've ever bought!! Love the matte look!! It stays on no matter what!!! I received my first one on July 16 and have purchased two more colors since then!! I'm 54 years old and have been through so many lipsticks, but this is the last one I will ever buy!! You can add a little clear gloss over it for a different look, and it won't smudge!! Love it!!! 💋💄👄" — leslie j falls4242 Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in 36 colors). 5. A bestselling shower curtain liner with 183,000 rave ratings that has the best feature a shower liner can have — it actually stays in place (no more getting spooked when the liner wraps around you mid-shampoo rinse!). It's also available in clear or frosted material, so you can easily keep an eye out for The Killer — who you swore was right outside the curtain while you were rinsing your face wash 😨 🤔. Reviewers also say that it dries quickly and resists mildew and soap scum, so your bathroom cleaning sessions are about to be so much faster. Promising review:"This has been the best shower curtain I have ever purchased. I have had it for about three months now and it is still just as clean as when I first got it. I haven't had to wash it, not one time yet. It is a medium thickness, nothing super cheap or nothing too heavy duty. We have hard water, too... I highly recommend to everyone. If you don't like wasting time and money, this one is for you!! The length is great and works well with any standard shower or tub." — stimmel_kc Get it from Amazon for $8.46+ (available in 16 styles). 6. A pack of the Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment — they're made of a wound-healing gel called hydrocolloid that can drain fluids from any open pimples and cover any that are already on the surface. These patches have racked up over 129,000 rave ratings, with many reviewers saying they're practically undetectable and adhere much better to the skin than other brands. Plus, your derm will be very relieved that you aren't popping it! BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic! Promising review: "I never had acne when I was younger. I got acne when I was in my twenties, and I have no self-control to not pop and pick them. My skin takes forever to heal, like 2–3 weeks of a scab, because I pick it all the time. THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING. They hydrate and heal my scabs in 2–3 DAYS. They pull gunk out, even if I pop a zit and wash my face, but these on, it'll continue pulling the rest of the stuff out. Truly, I'm in love with these. When I first heard of acne patches, I thought, 'I'll never pay money to make a zit go away,' but these are affordable and effective. I went through the 36 in less than a week because I had some scabs to heal that took a majority of my patches, but I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to heal their face faster. I also used this on a zit on my bum, and it's healed that one quickly for me too!!" — chipper2 Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strips, and more! Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a 72-pack). 7. A digital food thermometer that gives an instant reading, so you can rest assured that your meats are cooked to the perfect temperature. It has 102,000+ rave ratings from reviewers who say it's super accurate and perfect for everything from candy to bread. Oh, and there's even a magnet on the back for easy storage! Amazon Promising review:"This digital meat thermometer is the best I've ever had. I own others, but they are either too bulky to fit in the drawer or too hard to read. This one is small and lightweight; it's easy to pull out the probe and very easy to read the temperature. I purchased several as stocking stuffers for Christmas. They make a gift that will be appreciated for its size and ease of use, but most importantly, it will be a gift that gets used instead of put away in the closet." — Kat29 Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in two colors) 8. The ever-popular Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer with over 401,000 5-star ratings (😮) from Amazon customers. It'll dry your hair as you comb, meaning you can skip the blow dryer and save a few minutes in your styling routine. The jaw-dropping before and after photos really speak for themselves. Reviewers with type 1 and 2 hair say it helps to add a bit of volume when using a curling motion, while those with type 3 and 4 hair say it's also great for straightening. If you want an option that works even better for thicker hair types, check out the paddle-style version that has 48,000+ reviews and counting. Promising review:"OH MY LANTA. PURCHASE THIS NOW. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I found this on TikTok and saw the gal's review and had to buy it. I have thick hair and this dries my hair in less than 15 minutes. PLUS, I don't have to fuss with a straightener or a curling iron if I don't want to!! It leaves my hair so soft and shiny and gives it SO MUCH VOLUME! I recommend this to ANYONE I talk to about it. Seriously, it's my favorite styling tool. Seriously so in love." — Sydney Get it from Amazon for $33.49+ (available in eight colors and three styles). 9. A pack of thin velvet hangers that take up much less space than traditional hangers and provide a much better grip on your clothes. And let's be honest, any hangers with over 169,000 5-star ratings definitely deserve a place in your cart. Promising review:"The difference in my closet because of the hangers alone is striking. I can finally shift clothes to the side to actually see what I have. While some may think that saving their money and dealing with a tight closet is worth it, I am completely sold on making the change. So happy I pulled the trigger. I've purchased 100 more just now so that I can do the same for my boyfriend's closet." — ChristineSD Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $16.29+ (available in nine colors and also in packs of 50 and 100). 10. A popular sheet set made of 100% microfiber that more than 314,000 (hello??!!!) reviewers swear by. Hot sleepers say these feel comfy all night long, and several reviewers referred to them as "buttery," which is the highest compliment you can give a sheet set. The only downside? It'll make getting out of bed even more difficult. Amazon Promising review:"I'm purchasing my third and fourth sets of these sheets today. One will be a gift for my mom and dad. Over a year later, I've had no issues at all. They continue to wash and fit perfectly and are easily adaptable for weather changes. I add a flannel top sheet or blanket when chilly. Can't be beat for under $20 a set." — nativepeach Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes Twin–King and 30 colors and patterns). 11. And a pair of Beckham Hotel Collection bed pillows that might just have more fans than David and Victoria Beckham combined (no, they're not affiliated with the brand, but I'd absolutely stay in their hotel if they opened one). More than 168,000 reviewers swear by these, saying they keep their shape over time and are perfect for hot sleepers. I purchased these a little over a year ago after noticing the wild amount of 5-star ratings and constantly seeing them on Amazon's best-sellers list — and I totally get the hype. They really do keep their shape (I no longer have to punch my pillows to get them out of that weird peninsula shape!!!), and Goldilocks would absolutely stan these: they're not too firm, yet not too soft. Better yet, they stay fairly cool to the touch throughout the night! I've convinced several people in my life to buy these, and they're all equally impressed. Promising review:"Extremely pleased! Got the king size three weeks ago, and from night one, it's been exactly what I needed. Absolutely no more waking up with neck stiffness or neck pain. The very night before I received this pillow, I had neck pains. I thought it would take some time to feel a difference, but it was instant! I'm buying the queen size for my son now. He has scoliosis. Let's see if it helps." — M. George Get a set of two down-alternative queen-size pillows from Amazon for $45 (also available in king and Euro throw pillow sizes). 12. And! A set of satin pillowcases — they're cool to the touch and can help you avoid hair breakage and tangles. They also won't absorb moisture like typical pillowcases and will keep your hairstyle in place all night. It's one of those under-the-radar beauty secrets you'll want to tell everyone about. Amazon Promising review:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok, and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 39 colors and standard—king pillow sizes). 13. Maybelline's Fit Me Foundation that comes in 40 shades for a variety of undertones, so it's no wonder that 100,000+ people have found their perfect match. The formula promises to give you full coverage while keeping you matte and shine-free all day long, so you can stop carrying those oil-blotting sheets around with you everywhere. Promising review: "I love this foundation. This is the first foundation I have tried that has matched my skin so closely. It gives me medium to light coverage, which I personally love since I like wearing this during the summertime. I have acne scars that I really don't love, but this product provided coverage over them. Also, what tops it all is that this foundation is matte! I have very oily skin, so this thing is my holy grail. If you are wondering whether to get it, just read this review. It goes on and blends flawlessly. I bought another bottle just because I love it so much! (Btw, I got the color 330 Toffee Caramel). — Simpleebekah Get it from Amazon for $8.62+ (available in 40 shades). 14. And Maybelline's Dark Circles Treatment Concealer for even more coverage. It proves you don't have to keep spending a lot of money for high-end results. The lightweight formula is infused with Haloxyl, a peptide complex that's meant to reduce dark circles and tighten skin. Many reviewers say it's easy to blend with just your fingers, so you can ditch the brush if you want to! Promising reviews:"I have some discoloration/hyperpigmentation, and I am not usually good at using concealer. This is easy to use and perfect for beginners and amateurs like me." — Marie "I am a 30-year-old female. I have extremely dark under-eye circles. Honestly, that is the only reason I wear makeup — to cover them. I've used numerous kinds of concealers. Tarte Shape Tape, Mary Kay, Estee Lauder (assorted kinds), IT Cosmetics Bye Bye under eye, Clinique, Laura Mercier, Mac, and Bobbi Brown. I usually spend anywhere from $25–$30 on one tube of concealer and still feel unsatisfied with the coverage. Or it looks too heavy and thick by the time I sit with a damp makeup sponge and powder (accentuating my under-eye fine lines). This little gem is great. I use this concealer every day instead of all my high-end brand concealers. It's full coverage, buildable, lasts all day, is not drying, and is not too liquidy. I'm so happy I gave this a try, will definitely be keeping this baby in my everyday makeup bag." — Brittney Get it from Amazon for $8.80+ (available in 21 shades and various pack sizes). 15. The ChomChom pet hair remover roller to trap all the pet hair your fur baby is spreading all over your home like bees spread pollen. It's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory (remember when it used to be blue?!) or making your car's seats look presentable again. Reviewers especially love this one (it's a constant best-seller on Amazon) since it only takes a few rolls back and forth to pick up the toughest pet hair. 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 $19.59+ (available in two colors). 16. A mini waffle maker that'll open a world of cooking opportunities. Obviously, you can make perfectly crispy waffles, but you can also whip up cinnamon rolls, cookies, hash browns, and anything else you'd like to consume in waffle form. Reviewers say it heats up quickly and is surprisingly easy to clean. However, you'll never be more grateful for this gadget's existence than when you need a gift for someone you don't know that well and don't want to spend more than $10. Promising review:"If you're thinking about buying it, don't hesitate! This was an impulse buy and it's adorable and so easy to use. I just finished using it, and I HAD to come write a review. The light will click off when it's ready but I would leave it in about 15 seconds longer if you want it a little darker. I put about 3 tablespoons of batter in it, and it was the perfect amount. Best $15 I ever spent." — Makayla Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in a variety of colors). 17. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets to banish odors and break down residue so your clothes will come out feeling cleaner than ever. Just one tablet will help remove any caked-up grime in the pump and valve, drum and basket, and filter. I don't mean to brag on their behalf, but 176,000 reviewers currently have a way cleaner washer than you. Amazon Promising review:"I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." — Maggie Dennis Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $9.49 (also available in a pack of three). 18. A rapid egg cooker so you can quickly cook your fave breakfast even when you're running late and barely have time to brush your teeth, let alone fire up the stove. Whether you like 'em boiled or poached, this little device does it all, thanks to the included poaching and omelet trays. Reviewers say this typically takes about 15 minutes to cook, so your egg scramble will be ready by the time you're done scrambling for your keys and laptop. You can fit up to six eggs in the device at a time. Promising review:"If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. Soft-boiled eggs took me about 11 minutes to make. Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!??!?" — rebecca Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in nine colors and a bigger size that fits seven eggs). 19. A Blink mini smart camera to give you some peace of mind while you're away — or to check in on your furry friend while you're stuck at the office. It features motion detection and two-way audio, so you can tell your dog he's a good boy every time he walks by the camera. Promising review:"Wow! I have always wondered what the dogs do all day I will A low price for a camera with the ability to talk through it? Come on! It took me minutes to set up the camera and the app up on two phones. Super easy, I'm impressed. I can't believe how much of the room the camera can capture, even from a direction its not even focused on at all. I would totally recommend this for peace of mind." — Kimmie Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and in configurations with one, two, three, or four cameras). 20. A scalp massager that's upgraded the haircare routines of more than 117,000 reviewers. The soft yet stimulating silicone bristles are designed to invigorate your scalp, which can help remove dandruff and increase blood flow. You can use it on wet or dry hair (it's also perfect for lathering up your shampoo!), so you can basically treat yourself to an oh-so-relaxing scalp massage any time you'd like. Promising review:"I always wore my hair up for YEARS. Because it gets so thin and flat almost as soon as I get out of the shower. I also never had time to do much with it. Even even I did, nothing worked. I bought this thing — AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! I no longer have dandruff, no longer an itchy scalp, my hair stays fluffy all day — this thing is a freakin' miracle worker. I kid you not. my friends and hair stylist asked me what I was doing differently. I still don't think they believe me!" — Kaitlyn A Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 27 colors). 21. A bottle of Fanola "No Yellow" purple shampoo to remove yellow tones and brassiness from bleached and highlighted hair. You didn't spend all that money and time at the salon for your hair to be anything less than perfect. Now you can extend the time between coloring sessions, and the hydrolyzed silk protein will add some extra shine. Promising review:"I never write reviews, but this stuff is magic in a bottle. I'm a level 7 blonde with high-level highlights and hair that loves to pull red. If my hair starts to look brassy, I use this, and voila — it looks like I just came out of the salon again. I'd love it even if it didn't make my hair feel soft, but it does that, too! Please don't ever stop making this!" — scooptwins Get it from Amazon for $12.25+ (available in three sizes). 22. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds that reviewers say give AirPods a run for their money. They're also water-resistant, so you can feel safe wearing them while getting your sweat on during a workout. These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). Promising review:"Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port, so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing, and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" — Katlyn D Arnold Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five colors). 23. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream — it uses hyaluronic acid and ceramides to help transform your skin from flaky to smooth for a whopping 24 hours after you apply it. Reviewers with sensitive skin love the fragrance-free formula and also note that it absorbs very quickly for such a thick cream. Promising review:"I know there are a million 5-star ratings for this, but it's a wonderful creamy moisturizer. I've been using the Sunday Riley ICE Ceramide Moisturizing Cream and this has similar ingredients and feels the same without the outrageous price tag. Def will be switching to this one!" — amanda Get it from Amazon for $13.52+ (available in two sizes). 24. A pack of multipurpose dermaplaning razors you can use to shape your eyebrows and remove fine hairs. You can also use them to remove any stubborn peach fuzz so your foundation will effortlessly glide on. Promising review:"I saw these on TikTok and was skeptical, but they work so well. I use them for any facial peach fuzz and to shape my eyebrows, and they're perfect." — Megan Kopicko Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in a pack of nine). 25. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which has become so TikTok-famous it's racked up 154,000 positive ratings. It'll completely revitalize your sink, bathtub, and neglected ovens with the help of a little elbow grease. This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use it with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water. Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available with a scrubbing sponge). 26. A clever neck reading light — it lasts for up to 80 hours on a single charge 😮. It also has six brightness settings, so you can crank it up when you're reading outside under the stars or turn it down when you're getting one last chapter in before bed. Promising review:"I don't have the best lighting in this house or the best eyes, and that makes for a hard time cross-stitching. These are absolutely wonderful! I can see my patterns and do my cross-stitching which is so great during this quarantine. Be sure to charge every night after use, though. And they are so lightweight I forget I'm wearing them! Highly recommended!" — Nini Get it from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in seven colors). 27. A vacuum cleaner designed just for your car, because it's time to stop thinking to yourself, "I'll sweep these crumbs out eventually..." and actually get to cleaning. This plugs directly into your 12V outlet and comes with three attachments so you can clean everything from the floor mats to the scary cracks in between the seats. Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Promising review: "I am a woman who loves a clean car, but with this virus, I can't take my car in to have it cleaned anymore, so now it's up to me, and I hate to clean the inside of my car. I hate taking my large vacuum out to the car, pulling it this way and that, just trying to do a good job. When I came across this wonderful little vacuum, I ordered it. I love it. First it is little and light, but don't let that fool you. It cleans my car in no time, and with that 16-foot cable, I could also clean my trunk without a bit of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like to clean my car, but I don't hate it anymore. It does a wonderful job." — Coco Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 28. The absolutely iconic Tree Hut Body Scrubs that will quickly become the highlight of your shower routine. The granular sugar can help sweep away dead skin, while the shea butter base helps restore moisture. You'll feel like that gif of Peter Griffin riding a dolphin every time you step out of the shower. Promising review:"Heavenly. The scent is amazing and makes your legs feel so good after shaving. If you close your eyes while using, you think you are on a tropical island!!!" — SBlanks Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in 30 scents). 30. A bottle of Thayers facial toner that proves products for acne-prone skin don't have to be overly harsh to be effective. This smooth potion uses a blend of witch hazel and aloe vera to help control excess oil, tighten pores, and reduce irritation and redness. Check out our full review of Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Toner. Promising review:"I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS STUFF! I have struggled with acne my whole life; in college, I was on Accutane, and it helped clear my acne for a few years, but then it came back just as harsh as before! I have super sensitive, acne-prone skin, and I always thought a product like this wouldn't be 'strong' enough for my face... I was so wro ng. I wish I would have tried this sooner!" — Holly J. Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in six formulas, two sizes, and packs of two). 31. The small but endlessly useful Echo Dot so you can add Alexa capabilities to any room and finally have the Smart House (1999) of your dreams. Alexa will basically become your new personal assistant, so prepare to frequently say, "Alexa, what's the weather?" and "Alexa, set alarms for 7 a.m., 7:03 a.m., and 7:05 a.m." Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed, Oh, and "Alexa, play 'C'est La Vie' while I jump on the bed." Promising review:"This little cute speaker is powerful and has incredible clarity of sound. We put it in our office and it has huge volume as well as no static or raspiness EVER. We love it and listen to news, music, and so much more. We're ordering several more for our home. Huge value for the price." — ginnylmom Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors). 32. And last but not least, the Amazon Basics AA batteries with a mind-boggling 661,636 five-star ratings. As a product of the South Carolina public school system, I did not know numbers could go that high. So why did more than half a million people feel compelled to leave a review? It's simple — these just work and are a great value. They also have a 10-year shelf life and come in large packs, so you'll never have the dreaded *oh no, we need batteries* moment on birthdays or holidays ever again. Promising review: "These batteries are absolutely fantastic. They're dependable, great quality, and work well in all of our items. We've been repurchasing these for years at this point and have never experienced an issue. They seem to last longer than many of the regular batteries we have purchased in a pinch (because we forgot to re-order our amazon ones). If there is an Amazon brand product you should purchase over the name brand - I would highly recommend it's this one." — eaf927 Get a 20-count from Amazon for $8.29 (also available in packs of eight, 12, 36, 48, and 100).

I love ceramic decor. When I find some that are also functional? It will likely end up straight in my shopping cart! These are a conversation piece on their own. When people realize I can drink out of them? They go throw them in their OWN shopping carts!" Promising review:"Gave to my friend as a gift. She absolutely loves it. Keeps hands warm and the stand is adorable." — N. Lytle 2. A pair of puffy kitten heels they can confidently step out in knowing they'll be dressed to the nines with unique accessories to match.

JW Pei is an Asian-, family-owned brand with minimalist purses that are made with sustainable vegan materials. Promising review:"I absolutely love these sandals! The block heel gives the perfect amount of height without being too high, and the mule style makes them easy to slip on and off.

Yep, this includes larger ones like the iPhone Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, etc. Promising review: "I bought this due to the adorable design and wanting to add a hint of cuteness to my office space. I didn't want the boring rectangle tissue boxes. Super easy to put together, my 8-year-old did it... I plan to use the front area for a photo once I decide on one, instead of a place for my phone... I LOVE it and have gotten tons of compliments on it!" — AZxlgLady 4. A sunset projection lamp to gift them gorgeous end-of-day vibes whenever they want it. This lamp can rotate 180 degrees, and provides a light that can go as big or as little as they'd like depending on its position. How can they not see the joy in that? Amazon Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light (but it's not too bright. I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycles). Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" — Amazon customer 5.

Amazon Promising reviews:"I've always been a big reader, and when I saw this on #bookstagram, I knew I had to have it. It's so pretty and easy to use. I'm going to be ordering at LEAST one more to have in my office. It's a great addition to anyone's shelves." — Alyssa "Beautiful and unique design. Doesn't leak water. I am very happy with my purchase." — Fernando Perepechkin 8. A gorgeous pour-over coffee maker set complete with a ribbed coffee dripper, a metal drip stand, and a heat-resistant coffee server.

Thanks to you, they'll have their favorite theme park goodies right at home. Amazon Promising review:"This is a beautiful hardcover cookbook with so many yummy Disney recipes from the parks! There is a lot of Disney foodie history in it, plus recipes that look easy to follow with high quality ingredients. There are fun maps of each of the parks inside where the food is located from, which makes it fun. As an avid Disney fan I have never seen a cookbook like this. I highly recommend this cookbook for any Disney fan, whether they cook or not! It would even make a beautiful decoration in a kitchen." — Nicole Price: $15.99. 10. A set of punny and durable vinyl coasters that are a must-have in any music lover's home. Coasters aren't the most fun thing to shop for, but these are pretty dang cute! They even feature hilarious twists on music classics like "Tea Time: Don't Spill This." Who would've thought Amazon could be this cool? Promising review: "They are perfect representations of records and look very cool while protecting the furniture... It has a non-slip bottom so they don't slip and slide. Even the packaging is worth saving. He loves them and I love not having rings on my table.." — ajmets 11. A Bluetooth typewriter keyboard with a holding slot for their iPad or tablet! Reviewers also use it for their laptops and entire WFH stations too, and just use the slot as a phone holder. If there was anything that'd motivate them after hours in front of a screen, it'd be this! Promising reviews:"This little keyboard is awesome! Just like typing on a retro typewriter. I love the feel of the keys. Super easy to pair up with my phone and iPad. Highly recommend this!" — Michele Sanises "Definitely worth the purchase. My favorite quality is that it holds my phone up too!! The keys stick up higher than a normal keyboard and it took some getting used to, but I love it. I've gotten so many compliments on it and it makes that satisfying clicky sound when you use it. it's super easy to connect and it is compatible with a Mac, which can be a pain if you know anything about Macs lol. buy it!" — Abby Victoria 12. A seashell night light that'll add some extra ambience in the evening without looking out of place during the day. This ceramic lamp is battery-operated and the pearl inside can be removed for separate use! Amazon Batteries are included! Promising review:"Absolutely beautiful novelty item! ...The shell is nicely formed, and a good quality. It is substantial, a good weight, not flimsy... It's covered with a heavy pearlescent finish that makes light and color flow across it. It's very pretty! The pearl light is a solid cream white ceramic and looks wonderful in the shell, with or without the light batteries are replaceable and are easy to replace. I am very happy with the one I got, and will be buying another." — Michele Lyons Price: $20.88 (available in pink and white). 13. A fun three-pack of silicone AirPod cases shaped as their fave nostalgic food and beverages! It's thick and durable to keep their earpieces safe — and it's also just too cute for words. They'll get tons of compliments and will *definitely* be less likely to lose their AirPods in a sturdy case like this! This set comes with a Takis, Gatorade, and Hubba Bubba Bubblegum-shaped case. They each fit AirPods 1 and 2! Promising review:"These cases feel very durable and fit perfectly!! I highly recommend you're hesitating, then don't; these are just too cute!!! A tool [is included] to help you take them out of the rubber case, which is VERY useful and makes changing cases super easy!" — va 14. A four-pack of pizza socks because 1. you know they'll always need socks and 2. pizza is probably their favorite food these days. They'll also love how soft these hilarious socks are! Promising review:"I bought this as a surprise for my significant other, and he LOVED it! He is a sock fanatic and is always looking for new fun pairs of socks, and the presentation of this was a perfect touch to make it even more fun to deliver. Everything fit perfectly, and the socks in the pizza box looked exactly like what was expected! Thanks so much!" — Logan 15. And a burrito blanket while you're at it! This blanket has taken over the internet for being warm, cozy, and just plain fun. It's a best seller with over 59,000 5-star reviews. Amazon, And don't worry, it's machine washable so they can easily throw it in the wash. Promising review:"This was a gift for a college age got a big smile and was immediately unwrapped and worn around the house all through Christmas vacation. It was declared quite soft and warm in a lightweight way and while other gifts were left at home... he said there was definitely room in his suitcase to take the giant burrito back to school with him :)" — J. deRenzy Price: $14.99+ (available in six sizes and five styles). 16. A mini portable Crock-Pot food warmer absolutely perfect for folks going into the office, commuting students who'd rather not spend their money on expensive campus lunch, or simply *anyone* who just has zero space for the real deal. This portable cutie is great for the meal preppers and leftover-lovers that you know because it keeps their food warm, is spill-free, and is conveniently compact. Includes a removable storage container and inner lid that are both dishwasher-safe, a detachable cord, and a soft-to-touch-outter container. Promising reviews:" If you're a college student, you need this! I live on a college campus and they don't allow us to have microwaves or any other cooking appliances in our dorms so having a hot meal outside of cafe food or fast food can get annoying. So I decided to pick this up and this has been the best thing I ever purchased. I'm able to heat up home-cooked meals, soups, noodles, oatmeal, literally anything! It works so well and it's super compact and doesn't take up much space. It is a perfect portion size for one person and it's super easy to clean as well. I absolutely love this and I highly recommend this for college students!" — Macy Daniels " Perfect for college students. My daughter is an on-the-go college senior who never seems to have time to eat, and by the time she gets home at night, it's late in the evening. This allows her to prep food and take it with her. Easy to heat up anywhere she goes!" — Jackie Ray 17. Vintage bookshelf games like Scrabble and Candy Land that'll blend in beautifully on their bookshelf. I mean, it looks like an actual book for Pete's sake! Amazon, Promising review: "Adorable vintage designs! Sturdy pieces... Definitely more pricey than the cheap version you could get for $10 at any big store, but honestly, it's worth it to me. It lasts so much longer and easier to store. Having it in our front room on the bookshelf makes it easily accessible and blends in with our other books. You can see in my photo [the bookshelf on the right] we also have Boggle and Chutes and Ladders. Big fan of these." — Spooky Hobbit 18. A super durable retro-inspired Bluetooth speaker that's small in size but mighty in sound. It's the perfect addition to your kitchen, shelf, or desk space (and it's pretty adorable too!). Promising reviews:" This speaker really does add more fun & joy into my life. I previously owned an Anker brand speaker that stopped working. The Muzen button isn't as loud as the Anker speaker but still holds a clear sound. I absolutely love the design and color!" — Onika Donnay Incorporated "Got this speaker as a gift for my super trendy & fashionable sister, quite honestly wasn't expecting it to be more than a cute fashion accessory. To say I was shocked at the quality of sound is an understatement. It's louder than my regular speaker - and it's less than a fifth of the size. Not to mention, it's soooo pretty and everyone always comments about how tiny it is. Surprisingly heavy and durable metal, not cheap plastic, which was a relief. My sister is obsessed with it and it's already her new favorite (and frequently Instagrammed) accessory. She has found a way to wear it with her outfits and brings it with her everywhere...10/10 would recommend as a gift for any fashionista/music lover or even if you just want to treat yourself." — Nina 19. An insulated wine-pouring tote bag so they're stocked up on their favorite beverage no matter where they are. It's perfect to take along on picnics, beach days, or walks with a view. Amazon Promising review: "I purchased this purse for my wife... and she absolutely LOVES it!! The purse is elegant looking and constructed very well. She drinks boxed wine and was able to use the already filled bag with the spout and just drop it into the purse (she was able to get 2 liters in the zipper compartment). We went to a formal party where the drinks were overpriced. She was able to pour her own wine at the table, and no one even noticed all night long. She likes that the pocket where the spout comes out is flush with the purse, so the spout is not obvious. There is also a lot of room in the purse for other items like keys, cell phones, etc. She highly recommends this purse to anyone looking for a good quality wine purse. As she would say, Cheers!" — Dean Flowers 20. A set of crystal-inspired makeup brushes that'll make applying their makeup way more of a ~magical~ experience. The set comes with 10 brushes —everything from a powder brush to an eyeshadow brush. Promising review:"The quality of these brushes is great. No shedding and they are soft and firm where they need to be. They're pleasant to hold and overall just beautiful brushes. You can't beat this quality for the price! I highly recommend to anyone who likes make up. Would make a great gift!!" — Erika 21. A vintage-looking dimmable candle warmer perfect for the candle-loving giftee who probably doesn't have room for more (I mean, same here). This warmer will evenly melt their candles — no flame necessary. It even has a timer so they'll be able to simply ~enjoy~ their favorite scent and not worry about whether or not they blew out a candle. Amazon Promising review:"I'm impressed. I bought it once for myself and another time as a gift. It works great with the remote and releases the scent from the candle slowly. It is not heavy and assembly was easy. I really like the way it looks and makes my room feel warm." — Sunshine Price: $33.99+ (available in 10 styles). 22. A unique initial necklace if you're looking to give something that's stylish and sentimental. This piece comes with a half gold paperclip-style chain and half dainty pearls. It's something they can wear every day with any outfit. This necklace also has an extender in back, so your giftee can switch up the length for the perfect fit. Promising reviews:"I absolutely love this necklace. Quality is amazing and I have gotten so many compliment s. It's so versatile. Wear it with a dress or jeans and a tank top. Super cute. 🥰" — Elizabeth Rodriguez "To me this necklace looks more expensive than it is. It's great quality and I love to wear it all the time now!" — Jazmen Price: $16.99 (available in letters A–Z and in silver, rose gold, or gold). 23. An adorable floral ceramic latte mug because a cute mug will make all the difference when they're on their third cup of coffee for the day. It's microwave-safe, too! (A serious must for most folks). Note — latte mugs are on the smaller side, so reviewers also love them for small drinks, snacks like yogurt and overnight oats, and even tiny planters! Promising review:"I am in love with this little mug. It is beautifully crafted and unique. It is tiny, but I expected that! Love the details." — alyssa Price: $13.98+ (available in three styles and sets of two and three). 24. A stunning floor-length mirror that's 100% drool-worthy and will no doubt be their go-to for selfies. This elegant mirror is mountable, too! So if they want to save some floor space, they've got that option. This is top-tier gift giving right here!! Amazon Promising review:"Beautiful and very high-end. I am shocked by the quality of this mirror for under $200. The velvet is gorgeous in person and it is incredibly sturdy... It is really heavy so if you want to hang it make sure you have a stud. Its weight allows it to stay tilted on the ground too without moving around... I was really hesitant but it looks like something from West Elm." — Dan Schwalbe 25. A set of LED lightsaber chopsticks perfect for anyone who's the Chewbacca to your Han Solo (and for the BFF who's always asking you out to sushi). Amazon, Emma Lord / BuzzFeed Promising review:"I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" — T. Redwood 26. A small, heart-shaped frying pan because who wouldn't love a heart-shaped pizza, omelet, or pancake?? And yep, it's nonstick, too! 💗 Amazon Promising review:" I like it so much I am buying a second one. I mostly use it to cook a double fried egg from two large eggs...I use it much more than I expected. I frequently make three double fried eggs in a row without needing to clean it in between. The nonstick is that good. It is very lightweight and easy to manage. Ordering my second now!" — A parent 27. A tea sampler box for those who are always itching to try a new flavor. It comes with 10 different assortments like chamomile citron, green mango peach, and more. Promising review:"It was an absolute pleasure trying this brand of tea... The packaging itself is gorgeous, and is definitely worthy of setting out for guests. It is very inviting. When you open the box, you are gifted with some pretty amazing fragrances. You can tell the ingredients of these teas are high quality and FRESH... This is my new favorite brand of tea, hands down... For our part, it took us just a few days to go through the entire box, (it's THAT good!) and so we will probably be on the lookout for options of buying this tea in larger quantities." — Benjamin Martin 28. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" so they don't have to move from their cozy setup just to grab a snack or dig for the remote that's buried somewhere under their pile of blankets. Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review:" I bought this on a whim. My apartment is small and we don't have enough room for end tables near the couch, so we always would have snack tables out and then just put them away when we had company over. When I first received this I tried almost every cup and mug I had to see if they would fit. Everything fits! Even my HUGE tea mugs. It has a little cut-out for the handle of a mug to fit in, which is so helpful. It's great for cups, but also is a great caddy for the remotes as well. I haven't tried to wash it yet, but I know the cover is removable and washable which is a plus. So far I have just had to spot clean it and that has worked fine. I would HIGHLY recommend!" — Randi 29. A retro Apple Watch stand that'll take them back to the OG gaming days (aka the good times). Who said you can't enjoy your Apple Watch when it's off your wrist? Amazon Love this product way too much? There's also an awesome Airpod and Airpod Pro case to match. Promising review:"Got this as a gift for my fiancé and he was so stoked when he opened it. It's such good quality for the price and it fits the watch super well!! It really looks like the real thing!" — natuuhhhliee Price: $15.99 (available in four colors). 30. AND pack of Gameboy decals as easy as peel, stick, and stare in awe. It'll make a fridge or a bedroom door way more fun as it doubles as dry-erase boards, too. If that won't motivate them to write down your grocery list, I don't know what will. Amazon Promising review:" I bought this on a whim because I knew my boyfriend would laugh and appreciate the heck out of boyfriend plays video games and has a fair share of Cowboy Bebop figurines, so when I saw it I knew he'd get a kick out of it. 11/10 would buy again just for another chance to see his reaction. And honestly it looks great [and] transformed a boring white fridge we paid no mind to, to a clever and cute conversation piece that ~also~ serves a function." — Olivia

Just 24 Things To Help You Decorate Your Nursery
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Kids are expensive, but making their room a special space doesn't have to be. 1. A plush diaper caddy basket with a wipeable surface (which is, to be frank, unnervingly necessary) that's so surprisingly stylish you just might forget the terrible purpose it serves. Just kidding, new parents, diapers aren't THAT bad. Particularly if you have a caddy this cute. This can create a warm, earthy, and inviting space for your child without turning them into a sad beige baby. Bless. Promising review:"This is my second diaper caddy to own. I got a new one for my second child because the last one became a toy carrier for my daughter. This one is beautiful and looks like the color that is pictured. It's also very sturdy where some are flimsy. I organized mine with the essentials. It's able to fit plenty of diapers, wipes, burp rags, diaper cream, gripe water, etc. which made it very easy to use and take all over the house. The dividers come out — they are attached by Velcro but are easy to put together or take off if you want to adjust it." — Katie Mabe Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in eight colors). 2. A personalized pennant for highlighting the MVP in your life with a snazzy flag that's all their own. Amazon, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed Rosanbella is a small business specializing in personalized nursery and infant goods. Each piece can have up to ten letters, with two sizes available for the best fit. The image on the right is of my daughter's pennant! After featuring these for ages, I was super excited to have one made for my baby's first birthday. It's such a charming addition to her room, and the type of decor that she won't age out of (like most of the items in her nursery). I love the thought of a piece of decor from infancy staying in her room as she grows up. Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 3. A giant botanical wall decal so your little sprout can have their very own secret garden in a little nook of their room. These are super easy to put up; just peel and stick the six floral strips! Promising review:"This creates a very cute cottagecore vibe. It's a little tricky to put up with three separate sheets for the bottom, middle, and top. I ordered two to cover the whole wall. All in all I'm very happy with this. It makes my nursery super cute — perfect for baby girl on her way! I might end up ordering more for the other side of the wall." — Tsubaki Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 16 styles). 4. A collection of wooden decorative eggs for giving their nursery's "outside-in" decor an eggcelent addition that'll look like whimsy in its chicest sense. I own these! The photo on the top left is a shot from my apartment. These eggs were the cherry on top of my Beatrix Potter bookshelf! If you're looking to create a "bringing the outside in" aesthetic, these speckled eggs can't be beat! Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 5. A fuzzy 2-in-1 toddler couch low enough to the ground that your kiddo can climb on and off of it with ease. Plus, when you find yourselves reading Goodnight Moon until way past bedtime, you can lay it flat and help your kiddo comfortably snuggle up on the floor! Amazon Promising review:"This is affordable and adorable! It was a gift for our one-year-old for Christmas! She loves it and so do we! I love that she can grow into it for several years. It was a great price and is great quality! It's so cute and comfy for her to enjoy as a chair or bed!" — S. Inman Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors). 6. A wooden peacock toy for folks who know the best way to keep a nursery looking cute is by having aesthetic toys that'll look good even when they're left on the floor. I bought this for my toddler and *love* using it to teach her color theory! Thanks, Professor Peacock. Amazon Promising review:"Great for pretend play! My daughter loves using this to look through when she is reading or looking out the window. The peacock is beautiful and well made. Great to take on car rides…small size fits in small hands easily." — AMF Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 7. A terribly charming toadstool tent sure to be beloved by imaginative kids who prefer pretend play to structured sets and games. If your family has too much energy for your *regular* house, send your little faeries off into the "forest" and have them scavenge for things to fill up their toadstool home. Promising review:"The mushroom playhouse tent added enchantment to my daughter's 4th fairy-themed birthday party! It became the whimsical centerpiece, creating a magical space where imagination soared. The easy setup was a parent's dream. I will be moving it to her bedroom after the party and probably to the backyard during summer. This mushroom tent playhouse is a must-have for fairy-tale tykes! 🍄✨👧🧚♀️" — Gizem Aktan Get it from Amazon for $99.99. 8. A four-pack of scalloped shelves — a particularly charming set that'll give your baby's board book collection something to brag about. Covering the walls with illustrated books makes decorating (and coming up with a nursery theme if that's your sort of thing) easy peasy. Amazon, Looking for beautiful picture books? I wrote a post about some of my favorite reads a few years ago — check it out! Promising review:"I am extremely satisfied with these nursery floating shelves. The quality is outstanding. They are made of sturdy materials that can firmly hold all kinds of baby items. The design is not only stylish but also very practical. Installation was a breeze, and they fit perfectly in the nursery. They have added so much storage space and charm to the room. I highly recommend them to any parent looking to decorate and organize their nursery. Five stars without a doubt!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $37.49+ (available in two sizes and two colors). 9. Or a warm pine set if you like a simple, natural shelving style. These can be mounted in either direction, meaning you can securely store books or flip the shelves over and use the tops to display items and the bottom bar as a hook for clothes. Clever! Promising review:"I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of these shelves! We bought them for our twin boys' playroom and it looks so cute. It was super easy to put together and very sturdy for an awesome price! Honestly, thank you!" — Rosie Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 10. A bug rug — it'll be an utter delight to watch your own little critter learn to crawl on a rug covered in these cute creepy crawlies! This is made with soft wool and already has a rubber backing, so it'll be g2g the moment it gets to your door. The best part? It's machine washable! Promising review:"This is the cutest little rug. I searched forever before I found it and it's exactly the idea I was picturing. I love that I can teach my daughter the name of the bugs easily since she will see them daily without messing up the ambiance of her room with bright, tacky colors. It is exactly as advertised and is made well!" — Samantha Dunseith Get a 5'x7' from Amazon for $59.99 (available in eight sizes and six colors). 11. A loader night-light your tiny construction worker is sure to dig. This is made with high-quality, sustainable wood and nontoxic water-based paint, making it an environmentally friendly piece of decor you'll love just as much as your little one does. 12. An adorable wall-mounted busy board you can mount low to the ground, a spot that often ends up rather bare in nurseries, to keep things kid-safe. But this decor is MEANT to be played with by your littles! Not only is it cute and entertaining, it's a mess-free way to play. Now that's a doggone delight. Amazon Promising review:"This is the best thing I have purchased for my daughter's play room! I cannot express how much she loves her busy board. Easy installation instructions and every panel was protected so no issues when we unboxed. If you want to have more distractions from the TV, I highly recommend this for your house." — Jazz Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in two styles). 13. Velvet room-darkening curtains so luxe and *so* useful in a nursery — if your baby refuses to nap when there's even a spot of sunlight around, then these curtains are calling your name. 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 wrinkles out. I can't wait to get another color! You'll be happy with your purchase." — Alex Get them from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in five lengths, 24 colors, and with grommets or rod pockets). 14. A wool floor rug with an impressive skill — it can tie your entire nursery together just by lion around! It's crafted with handmade details and measures 23" x 36", making it a great stacked rug selection! Amazon Promising review:"This is very cute. I purchased it as a gift for a baby shower. The mother to be loved it." — Anthony Monge Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (also available as a leopard). 15. A hanging linen storage pocket that'll look surprisingly lovely in its simplicity. This sweet little pocket ties around the crib for easy access to books, dolls, and anything else you'd like within easy reach. Amazon, Promising review:"Looks great on my daughter's crib! It's great for added storage for baby toys of books. I use it to display a book and a little stuffed animal!" — Alana Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 16. A canvas Winnie The Pooh print so your baby will know the Hundred Acre Woods like the back of their hand. Oh, bother, I think I'm about to put this in my own shopping cart. Amazon Make sure to grab a frame if you need one! Promising review:"We framed ours and it is so cute! It's the perfect addition to our baby's nursery." — K Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in two sizes). 17. A toddler closet, because you've spent enough time and money crafting the perfect wardrobe for your child that those outfits could be decor all on their own! This is gonna be just the right height for your child, and it has an open system that makes it easy for them to see what they can wear, giving them confidence as they get themselves ready for the day. Promising review:"THIS IS THE BEST DRESS UP ACCESSORY EVER. BUY IT!!! My kid loves this. We have easily 15 outfits hung up. This took no time at all to assemble. It's so sturdy but way easy to move. The boxes that come with it for storage are great. It's honestly got so much room. It's perfect. This is designed perfectly and the shoes can go underneath the dresses on the bottom. The accessories get stored on the side and the mirror is just perfect and pretty well sized! Totally awesome!" — M Get it from Amazon for $149.95+ (available in four colors). 18. A charming cotton knit swaddle so you can teach your little lamb the charms of counting sheep to fall asleep when they first start snoozin' on their own. High-quality swaddles and blankets have been one of my all-time favorite things to decorate with now that I have a child because just tossing them on a chair makes a space look cozy! Amazon Promising review:"Good for swaddling. Material is great. The more I wash it the softer it gets." — Tee Mac Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 12 styles). 19. A stunning set of muslin crib sheets, because you don't have to fill a nursery with unnecessary odds and ends to make it look warm and inviting. If you prefer a minimalist aesthetic, adding a gorgeous set of these high-quality printed sheets is plenty to set the tone of your little one's room. Amazon These soft sheets have a 192-thread count and measure 28"x 52". If you like this look, be sure to check out all of Mushie's products! Promising review:"We purchased these for our new grand baby and the quality is great. They look nice and they're very soft. The fit is great on the crib mattress. I would recommend these for a shower gift, for sure!" — Dee Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in 24 styles). 20. A rocking chair that won't scream "nursery!" so you can keep it in their room (or move it out into the living room) as they grow older. This has side pockets for remotes, books, chargers, or anything else you'd like to have on hand while rocking your baby to sleep at night. Promising review:"Bought this for my first grand baby's nursery. It's so comfy and I love the fabric and the color. Very well built and the directions were easy to understand. You can tell by reading them the company cares!" — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $158.98 (available in six colors). 21. A cloud lamp, because when it comes to finding cute pieces for kids' rooms, the sky is the limit! These are battery-operated, so you won't have to use an outlet or worry about your kiddo pulling on an electric cord. This is also available as a crescent moon — grab them all and create a stunning night sky for your kiddo to enjoy as they fall sound asleep. Promising review:"This was really easy to set up. It's simple and cute. It's appealing during the daytime and useful at night for some ambient lighting. Great value for the price and a great nursery addition. I love it!" — Rachel L. Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in three styles). 22. A sling rack bookshelf with four tiers of "shelving" and enough room to store a hearty collection of tiny board and picture books. Amazon This bookshelf is one of my most treasured purchases for my daughter. I bought two of the versions above for our living room because I love them so much (and because I have, ahem, too many books). I use this specifically for board books. My daughter has been able to get books out of this (without it toppling over on her) since she was old enough to crawl! I firmly believe that having books out and easy for her to access has made her the avid reader she is. I love, love, love this sling shelf system. Promising review: "This is perfect for a nursery! I needed something that would display my daughter's books while being easily accessible but also space saving. This was just that. It's great quality, very easy to put together, and looks perfect in the small space I needed it for! I'd recommend to anyone!" — Abby M. Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in 12 styles). 23. A storage basket, because even the most practical items can be a darling piece of decor in a they SHOULD be! The print features lions, elephants, and palm trees in a warm sandy color that looks soothing and sweet. Storage baskets are such a great way to get your toddler to help clean up their toys. It's worth having a few around the room if you ask me! Amazon Promising review:"I got this for our nursery and it's so cute! It's a good quality canvas container. It does come folded so I may need to take a steamer to it. It's exactly what I wanted it to be." — Sarah Ross Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in five styles). 24. A convertible crib — an investment-worthy piece that'll save you a lot in the long run, as it can be used as a crib, a toddler bed, and a daybed. The timeless design is great for folks who know they're gonna get attached to their baby's crib and never want to let it go. Thanks to this, you won't have to! Plus, transitioning from a crib to a toddler bed is gonna be a *lot* easier when your kiddo doesn't actually have to say "goodbye" to their crib. Bless.

34 Things To Transform Your Living Space Into The House Of Your Dreams
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. These products will help you turn your house into something worthy of being on HGTV. 1. A Samsung Frame TV you can switch from your latest TV show obsession to a beautiful work of art in seconds. You may even find your guests questioning if you even own a TV at all. BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has one and says: "This is honestly and truly the best splurge I have ever made. It has massively upgraded the look of my living room. My husband loves the photography options and I love all the classical paintings — as someone who loves changing up my decor, being able to update the display images has been so fun. The quality is fantastic while watching movies and I'm pretty sure I love it as a piece of art in my home even more." Promising review:"I don't know how best to describe the quality of the artwork except to say it is amazing, mesmerizing... the paintings stand out with the appearance of actual paint strokes. I wasted no time and paid to gain access to the database... well worth it. I have found choices extraordinary... from classic paintings to modern ones and quality photographs. The impressionist paintings with their vivid colors stand out the best in my view." — deuxamis Get it from Amazon for $747.95+ (available in six sizes). 2. Some cushion supports to refresh your squished-down seat so you can revitalize it instead of dreaming of the day you can get a whole new couch. All you have to do to install is remove the cushions, unfold the support over the couch, put the cushions back on, and voila a refreshed sofa! Promising review:"I purchased new couches about five years ago. They were comfortable for a couple of years, but over time, they started sagging to the point that I would sink when sitting on them. They were very uncomfortable and the cushions would not stay in place. We thought about purchasing new couches, but that was an expense I could not justify, especially since these couches are not old and are in otherwise decent condition. I decided to try this cushion support in hopes of stretching the life of the furniture. I have two identical couches, but purchased only one support to try it out before buying another. I am very happy to report that my couch is comfortable again! I no longer sink in or have to fight my way out! My couch feels almost like new. I cannot wait for my second support to arrive!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 10 sizes). 3. And a bag of polyester stuffing so you can give the back cushions the extra TLC they deserve. Not only are they not attractive when they're all smushed down, but man are they uncomfortable. And with any leftover stuffing, you can rejuvenate stuffed animals, throw pillows, bedding, and more. After all, there's no such thing as too much fluff! Promising review:"Ok, so I had been looking into buying a new couch but I only wanted a nice leather one and they are SOOO EXPENSIVE. I decided to try and fix ours and I am SOO HAPPY with the results!! I bought two $52 boxes of poly fill (used 1 1/4 total, so I still have a lot left). I cut open each of the three sections of the inner cushions of each back cushion, re-stuffed them, and sewed them back up. It took me about a day and half. I want to get some furniture foam to plump up the seat cushions (but that is another project and significantly more money), but t he end result is a HUGE improvement! The couch looks (and feels) a million times better! Wish I done this years ago! The first 'before' pic has a back cushion already stuffed because I didn't think to take a pic until after I already stuffed a cushion. If you are thinking this won't work (like I was), you are wrong. DO IT!!!!" — Geoff Get a 12-oz. bag from Amazon for $13.62 (available in a variety of sizes). 4. A decorative ceramic lips holder to add a little spice to your side table. These are perfect for holding jewelry, lip balms, or other small knickknacks in a container that showcases your personality instead of boring ol' bowls. Promising review: "I love this as I'm getting into my super pink era. 💅🏼 It's a nice weight and not easily breakable. It holds a lot of knickknacks too, from lipsticks to trinkets. I also think it's really cute. Going to get a number of these to put around my home." — Agusta Get it from Amazon for $14.96 (available in four colors). 5. A super chic wavy mirror that'll give your wall AND your selfies a noticeable upgrade. Be warned, you may spend a lot more time staring at yourself once you have this. Amazon Promising review: "I fell in love with this mirror and the cool wavy designs. I have it on the floor and it is tall enough for me to see myself at full length. It is such a statement piece and adds to my modern abstract decor. It was packed very well and had foam a half-inch thick or more to cover the entire mirror. It is heavy and leans against the wall very securely. I love it!" — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $125.99+ (available in four colors). 6. A touchless kitchen faucet to put an end to having to use your icky fingers to turn the sink on. Just wave your hand and the water will start flowinggg. And don't worry; it has an auto shutoff after three minutes in case you have any kids or pets who manage to turn it on and just leave it running. Promising review: "We can't say enough about this. It looks incredible. It has great water flow and reach. And if that weren't enough, the touchless function is a real game changer for busy, multitasking cooks." — Chris Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in five finishes). 7. A cat tower that might be the prettiest one I've ever seen, which is great because you obviously want your cats to be happy, but you also don't want to sacrifice your decor to buy them one of those bulky, dingy versions. Promising review: "I put this cat tree right in my front window and it looks so aesthetically pleasing. It looks like it belongs with the rest of my furniture and decor rather than sticking out. My cats absolutely love it. They sleep in it and scratch it all the time. We've had ours for about six months now, it's held up very well. I also really love that you can take out the cushions to clean them — it made life much easier during hairball season. Definitely was hesitant to drop a couple hundred bucks on a cat tree, but it's super sturdy and high quality compared to anything else I've seen of similar size, and I just think it's SO much prettier. And, I worked in an animal shelter with a retail store, so I'm pretty familiar with cat trees! I'm happy, they're happy, 10/10 would recommend!" — Ana Get it from Mau for $319 (available in two colors). 8. A stone-effect spray paint to transform and add texture to your boring (or downright unattractive) surfaces that need to be revitalized. Your outdated bathroom counter is about to be just a distant memory. This is ideal for indoor use on wood, metal, ceramic, wicker, and more. It'll be dry to touch in 30–60 minutes and each can covers 12 sq. ft. Promising review:"This summer I grew bored with my same old blah plastic pots from Lowes/Home Depot and others that had faded over the years but were still in good condition. You first need to wash and dry them well and take a piece of sandpaper/sanding block to very lightly scratch and give the surface some 'tooth.' I don't normally use a primer but I have pre-painted some pots with a similar or coordinating color as the stone paint I will be using. The coverage of this paint is excellent but you can paint it as many times as you like depending on the coverage and look you want. I've also used several colors on one pot and wound up with some attractive-looking planters! I painted a few with a clear sealer made just for this stone paint and others with a regular clear sealer (they are probably all the same.) I've found that they all stood up to the outdoor weather and sun well, even a small stone garden rabbit I didn't seal although it says it is not waterproof. Now I keep looking around for other items to stone paint. It's fun and leaves you with professional, expensive-looking pots or any item." — Dogmom20 Get it from Amazon for $10.53+ (available in six colors and five pack sizes). 9. An outlet plug designed to hide all the cords by plugging in flat and utilizing a power strip that you can attach to your baseboards to create a seamless look. Plus, since the actual plug is flush against the wall, you can stick it behind furniture without worrying about ruining your cords. Promising review:"I saw this while randomly swiping through TikTok one day. As soon as I saw it, I immediately went to Amazon to find it. We have an electric fireplace that is centered on our wall. Unfortunately, the plug/outlet is not (about one foot over). It has driven my wife and I bananas that there was a plug strung along the wall. This took seconds to install. Love it!" — Alex Soper Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four lengths and two styles). 10. A protective sofa cover because you're obviosuly not gonna tell your fur baby they can't get on the couch, but you do wanna find a way to protect it from fur and scratches. Unlike most covers that are unsightly or give '80s-grandma-couch-wrapped-in-plastic vibes, this one is actually cute, comes in a variety of styles, and is thick and comfy! Get a closer look at it on TikTok! Be sure to pay close attention to the measurements before buying — they're presented in both centimeters and inches. The cover is nonslip, scratch-resistant, and machine washable! Promising review: "Although it seemed to take forever to ship and arrive, it is absolutely worth the wait. It is so soft, fits so perfectly on my couch, doesn't move when I sit on it or when the dog jumps up, and looks nice too! I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and I hope it helps my couch to last a long time. I will update after a while to be sure it holds up. PSA: Read the measurement description before you order. After one month, zero regrets! It has been worth every penny. The couch cover is a fraction of the cost of my couch, so I think it's been very worth it to help keep the fabric on my couch intact. I washed on delicate and tumble-dried it on low by itself. Held up great. Again, I love it! Worth the wait and the cost." — sgur Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in 13 sizes and 15 colors). 11. And a fabric defuzzer so you can refresh your furniture and hide the evidence of all the strings your cat decided to pull out. Reviewers love this as a MUCH more affordable solution than actually buying a whole new couch. The battery-operated model does need two AA batteries to work! Promising reviews:"This is a great TikTok buy! It's a really fun and easy way to clean the lint off of anything. The cleaning is also very simple. It might slow down sometimes when I do a big piece of cloth, which means that the spinning blade has lint tangled around it. You can remove that with tweezers. It's really easy and satisfying. All in all, it's a great buy." — Edita "This is amazing!!! I have a chair that when my cats were kittens, they shredded. It was brand new, and they destroyed it within six months. I live alone and no one ever comes over, so I just deal with the chair with dreams of reupholstering it someday. I've seen articles for defuzzers but never used one and always thought they were for sweaters or things that have just balled up, not that had entire threads ripped out. A few days ago I saw someone's review for this one, used on loose threads, so I immediately bought it. It arrived today, and I used scissors to trim the threads. It was so easy to use and did an amazing job! I spent probably 90 minutes total doing my entire oversized chair and then spot-cleaned it. It looks brand new! I have my awesome chair back! I almost donated this chair a hundred times over the last four years but didn't want to part with it. Now I'm so glad I didn't. $12 and less than two hours of my time, and my favorite chair is restored. I'm so happy!!" — StormyMorning Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors and two versions) 12. A contemporary, sculptural lamp if you're looking for a unique piece that will draw your guests' eyes and have them saying, "OK, I like it, Picasso." 👨🏼🎨 Amazon And pick up a couple of lightbulbs if you don't already have some lying around. Promising review:"Bought these on a whim. Wasn't sure if they'd be good or not. Turns out they are so cool! I love them. Just adds ambiance to my room. They were very easy to assemble and I could enjoy them immediately." — Amazon Customer Get a set of two from Amazon for $47.99+ (available with or without lampshades). 13. A peel-and-stick subway-style tile backsplash to give any room a ~trendy~ backdrop that doesn't require actually figuring out how to remove the old tiles and install new ones. Since this is a temporary solution, you don't have to feel guilty about wanting to switch it up down the road, either. Promising review: "I've been wanting to try peel-and-stick tiles for a long time, and I'm so glad I found these for our kitchen facelift! They are so easy to apply and look amazing! I love that they are actual-size subway tiles as well! They've given our kitchen the last very important piece that it needed!" — April Grill Get a pack of 10 sheets from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 19 colors). 14. Velvet slipcovers designed to give your living room the facelift you've been wanting by making it seem like you bought a whole new couch. And you don't have to shell out a small fortune to have yours reupholstered. Each set comes with a cover for the base and individual ones for each cushion (that number depends on which size you choose). Promising review:"I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." — Brian/Liz Get it from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in five sizes and 15 colors). 15. An Amazon Echo so you can blast your favorite music throughout your house without even having to get up from your couch, almost as if you had a personal butler, but until then, this will do. Alexa, play "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stefani 🎶. Amazon Not only can Alexa play your favorite songs, but she can turn on your lights, set timers, alarms, and reminders, tell you the weather, turn on appliances, and more. The opportunities are truly endless. If you've always wanted to have a smart home, this is your chance to start moving toward a house of the future. Promising review: "I love this device! I was skeptical it would be helpful. I got a deal on smart plugs and paired them with Alexa🤣. Now, we love playing music and cutting on lights throughout the house, televisions, and fans. We are old and not techy, so this was a stretch for us. It's SO easy to set up and so useful. I don't know why I waited so long or how I got along without it. You will NOT be sorry you purchased. Buy smart plugs to add to all your outlets. Cut on the lights before you get home. LOVE it!" — Tami Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in three colors). 16. Or, an Echo Show that lets you make video calls (hands-free), check your calendar, set reminders, add to your grocery list, control lights, and sooo much more. This is definitely the epitome of what "The Jetsons" thought the future would be like. Promising review: "This is a must-have device for every home. It's a music system, a camera system, a communications system, and a control system. I use it to play my Amazon Playlists in every room. I can unlock and lock doors in any room. I can announce dinner is ready for all rooms. I can drop in on my children and grandchildren with video. That's just the tip of the iceberg. I love all these Echo products and Amazon music!" — Ron Crider Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in two colors). 17. A decorative mirror tray with so many uses — keep it in your room for your perfume or jewelry collection, by the front door as your little catch-all, or really impress your guests by bringing out hors d'oeuvres on a ~mirrored~ platter. Promising review:"I've been on the hunt for a vanity tray, but they're all so pricey. Not going to lie, when I saw this I was like 'no way this is going to be that nice for that price.' I can let you know I happily was surprised! It's perfect! I want every color now!" — xxitsjess69 Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors). 18. A trio of contemporary candle holders that'll make your guests do a double take when they think you have magical floating candles. Amazon Promising review: "Love these. They are very much a statement piece and they look more than expensive than they are." — Feli Get it from Amazon for $56.98+ (available in four finishes). 19. Some arched rattan bookends to shrink down that trendy style from your chairs, cabinets, and headboards for the book collection that's been sitting on your shelf collecting dust. If you're not gonna read them, you may as well make 'em look nice. Or keep the pile you're actively reading separated so you always know where to find your next read. Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these bookends! I've been on the hunt for bookends that are both functional and aesthetically fit my home decor, and I've finally found it. They are so on trend with the whole rattan look, and quite substantial, too, so they'll hold up those heavier coffee table books and cookbooks!" — Jake Get a set of two from Amazon for $39.99. 20. A three-tiered ring floor lamp with adjustable brightness so you can set exactly the ambiance you want. The unique and modern design will have you wondering why you've only ever had boring normal lights before. Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting. Promising review: "The light is nice! It's a unique looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I'd definitely recommend it to others." — Carmelita Joy Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three colors). 21.

See it in action on TikTok here. Promising review:"Bought this light because I thought it was cool, but it is more than that! I use it every day, and it has many colors and patterns to choose from. The thing I love the most is you can set up times for it to come on and turn off. You can set how bright you want it, so I had it turned on with a dimmed light to help me wake up in early mornings." — Rueben Thao Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in two colors). 22. A chic and compact floor lamp/side table hybrid perfect if you're short on space but don't wanna have to choose between seeing and having a place to rest your drinks.

An ornate, arched mirror I'm sure you've seen similar versions of on an influencer's social media at least five times. Now you'll stop cropping the mirror out of your selfies and instead try to get as much of the detailing in them as possible. Promising review:"Bought the bronze color and it is just beautiful. It's weighty and looks of good quality and workmanship but is not so heavy that it's hard to work with if you want to lean it or hang it. I wanted the Primrose from Anthropologie but it's hard to pay that price. This mirror is quality and has a lot better price. Move over, Primrose. I love it!." — Joni Bell Get it from Amazon for $112.99+ (available in five colors and 10 sizes). 24.

Promising review:"These are so easy to install! We sold our house and moved into a mobile home on our land while we build a house. We wanted to do a little updating but we don't want to spend a lot. We decided to use self adhesive flooring and I fell in love with these! The pattern and color were perfect for my bathroom theme! Installation was easy and quick. They stick great and it's been a few weeks and we've had no issues. I love the texture and they're so easy to clean! Definitely recommend!" — Heather Wine Get a set of 10 tiles from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two colors). 26.

See an unboxing TikTok here, and another video turning on the lamp (the warm light is gorgeous). Promising review: "I love mine. I look at it, and it just cheers me up. It goes really well with my white color scheme. It looks mostly white with some rainbow hints that dance across it as you move around the room. There are some bubbles, and I like them because I think the bubbles show that it is authentically hand-crafted. I'm very tempted to buy more, but I understand each one will look different — don't expect them to match each other." — C Gaudet Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five styles). 28.

An office chair so good you thought it only existed in your wildest dreams. With an ergonomic back, adjustable armrests, and supportive headrest, you truly couldn't get anything better. Now working from home won't cause back problems that require spending a good chunk of your paycheck on chiropractor visits and massage sessions. Alright, this is your sign, you've been working at home for almost five years now, I'm officially telling you to take the leap and invest in a quality desk chair instead of sitting at your dining chair for eight hours a day and wondering why your back always hurts. This chair is so comfortable — there's lumbar support, the headrest hits perfectly so when you lean back you're actually supported instead of having your neck flop back, and it can recline backwards when you need that midday stretch. If you're feeling extra fancy, go ahead and upgrade to have the heating and massage features. It's a nice vibration that helps your butt not fall asleep when you forget to stand up for hours on end. Seriously, this chair may look simple but I promise you it'll be the most comfortable desk chair you've ever sat in. Promising review: "I had been looking at these chairs for a few months, but the price kept me from purchasing one. I actually bought a chair for $300 thinking it was a good chair and it hurt my back the first day I sat in it. The X3 chair was comfortable from day one! My only regret is not getting it sooner. I went all in and got the upgrade withRead more about review stating Why I waited to purchase this chair the heat/cool and massager. Totally worth it! I also got the headrest which at first wasn't going to, but so glad I did. Your back and neck will thank you!" — Mary B Get if from Amazon for $979+ (available with or without a headrest and two colors) or from X-Chair for $881+ (originally $1079; available in four colors, with or without a headrest, and other optional features for an additional price). 31.

I used two panels in my living room on my French patio doors and they provide a little privacy, but allow so much sunshine in the room. So beautiful and make the space look really elegant! I loved them so much that I bought a second set for my dining room windows too :) For the price WORTH IT!

Promising review:"I currently rent, and couldn't stand looking at these cabinets that have been painted 20 different times. So I decided to spice them up. And this product is downright awesome. I bought the aged color, to give it an antique look. I wasn't sure the stain would stick just because it a gloss finish and how many times they were painted before, but no problem!! The color is amazing and looks like I have new cabinets!" — Jennifer Carr Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 18 colors and multipacks).
