Promising review: "I absolutely loooovveee this planter. It's so cute and looks exactly as advertised. I love that it's really versatile and looks great in my bathroom, my office, outside, my bedroom, and my kitchen. It's so perfect and even if you have multiple, you can switch up the plants so that they look different. The gold accent is really what sets it apart, and it looks really great with the gold. You can use it for succulents or flowers or any other plants. I personally like using it for cacti and fake plants because I do not have a green thumb. The price is also fantastic for the quality. Definitely great!" —Jasmine Ball

These are just pillow covers, so don't forget the pillow inserts, if you need them.
Promising review: "I love these pillowcases! They are way nicer than I expected for the price. They are soft, wash well, and look more expensive than the price. I’m super happy with my purchase. I was kinda iffy on buying them, but I went ahead and did it because I knew I could return them if I didn’t like them, but I was actually pleasantly surprised." —Amanda

Promising review: "It looks beautiful on my new vanity! The brightness is incredible, and I love the dimmer feature. To line my mirror, I used about half the roll, and I wish it came with another plug/dimmer for the second half! I’ll definitely be ordering them. The light is strong, and shows you ALL imperfections (which I guess is the point, but wow, surprise!!) I am now hooked, and I'm telling my husband all the things in our home that HAVE to be lined with lights!" —Jenni P.

Promising review: "Can I just say I love this picture frame. It looks much more expensive than it was, and everybody that sees it compliments it! It makes me way too happy. Happier than a picture frame should. It makes me want to go buy a bunch of other stuff from Umbra because it is all very cool." —Monica Wood

The tiles are water-resistant and washable. To apply, just peel the backing and stick to a clean floor. You don't need any special tools or even grout.
Promising review: "I've only had these on my bathroom floor for a month or so, but they seem like they'll hold up. They were a bit of a pain in the ass to cut, but I didn't have the best tools or patience. The price is bananas for how good these look! They really transformed the room for cheap." —Amazon Customer
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $9.98.
The film is glue-free and reusable. It blocks 98% of UV rays and glare and also provides more than 95% privacy. It can be used on any smooth and clean surface. And it's easy to apply. All you have to do is remove the backing, spray soapy water on the window you're applying it to, press the film on, and use a squeegee to remove any excess water.
Promising review: "I was looking for something to provide privacy to our front door sidelights, without blocking the natural light. This looks great! It’s subtle and classy looking. It was very easy to apply as long as you get your measurements correct. I had to do six small windows, so after I made sure the first one would fit, I used that as my template for the remaining windows. The film goes on just like a window cling. So easy!" —SarahHK

Promising review: "This rug came rolled up in thick plastic, and the quality and colors are just perfect. For the price, this rug is great. It blends well with my decor, and I like the fact that it is soft but seems durable. It's easy to vacuum to clean. If you are looking for a nice looking not expensive rug, this is what you need." —Martha

The film is made from vinyl/PVC film and is water-resistant. To apply, you cut the film to the size you need, remove the backing paper, put it on any dry and flat surface using a D-C-Fix smoother, and it will look as good as new.
Promising review: "Wow!!! I can't believe how much this brightened up our bathroom!! The paper is very thick and seems very durable!! It looks beautiful! It is mostly easy to install. Just takes some patience. I watched videos on how other people did it first before attempting it myself which I think really helped!! Using a blow dryer to smooth it on helps prevent bubbles from getting caught underneath the paper. This cheap update made such a difference!!!"—Anna F.

I bought a terrarium a couple years ago, and instead of putting plants in it (I do *not* have a green thumb), I decided to use it for lipstick. It makes them look cooler sitting on the top of my dresser. Some people have asked me if it's hard to get them out, but I've never had a problem.

Promising review: "I was apprehensive because this lamp cost so little, but it is really nice. It's the perfect height for reading while sitting (and with adjustable gooseneck so aim can be adjusted). I like that the standard bulb socket allows for using any LED bulb. Unlike most lamps of this style, with cords that dangle from the socket, here the cord is inside the pole, so it has a nice clean look." —harlingford

Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt for a vanity tray, but they’re all so pricy. 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!" —Jess & mike
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in gold and silver).
It comes with two traceless thumbtacks, two metal clips, and two mounting tapes, so you can hang it however you like.
Promising review: "This is so pretty and very well-made. It was very easy to hang and came with everything I needed. I was worried about the quality since it is such a great price, but I was pleasantly surprised, and I am thinking about buying one for my spare bedroom. I bought the blue, and it matches my gray theme throughout the apartment. If you live where you can’t change the wall color, it is a great option for decorating on a budget. It turned these drab walls into something colorful and pretty." —Debby R.
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in medium and large and in four colors).
Promising review: "The size is perfect for a two-drawer nightstand. The bottom has a soft smooth surface. I like the switch. It is an easy push button. I used electrical tape to adhere it to the back of the nightstand for easy accessibility. It gives lots of light for a minimalist lamp. It’s very effective without taking over the room with style and light." —Delilah McCullough
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
Promising review: "This ottoman is very useful. It doesn’t have a tray, but if you turn the lid, it can be used as a tray. It’s not very big, but I can rest and put my feet there. We can even sit to take pictures, and I store the blankets of the children in there. It's good for the price. I even ordered a second one." —marisa caballero
