    34 Beautiful Things To Admire Whenever Your Mood Needs A Boost

    If you're feeling the winter blues, these gorgeous items will turn that frown upside down 🙁➡️🙂

    1. A dazzling pair of sequined Kate Spade studs to pop onto your ears whenever you're feeling blah and could use some sparkly color in your day.

    2. A truly jaw-dropping wizard alley-themed book nook everyone who enters your bedroom will immediately want to purchase for themselves. That ✨lighting ✨ though!

    3. A fun, abstract handmade ceramic vase that'll add some whimsy to your living space without being too over-the-top. Keep it in a place where you'll see it often so it can remind you not to take life too seriously.

    4. Our Place's SWOONWORTHY Always Pan, which will quickly become your go-to cooking vessel (and is a certified BuzzFeed FAVE). Not only will its lovely minimalist aesthetic make you eager to get in the kitchen, it'll also save precious storage space: Essentially, it's an all-in-one kitchen tool, since it's designed to braise, sear, steam, strain, saute, fry, boil, serve, and store. Plus, it comes with a wooden spatula and metal steaming basket!

    5. And, for when you want to go from stove to oven, a 6-quart Lodge Dutch oven so gorgeous (those color options!), you'll want to proudly display it on its own dedicated burner. I recently gave this to my dad as a birthday gift and it's got a permanent spot on his kitchen counter.

    6. A gorgeous flamingo sweater made of 100% baby alpaca wool (so soft!) that'll remind you of sunset walks on the beach even in the dead of winter.

    7. A super cool portable fireplace so you can make yourself comfy by the fire, even if you don't have a full-size hearth. Get out the graham crackers and marshmallows and throw yourself an indoor s'mores party!

    8. A handmade LED croissant night-light, because it's literally impossible to feel sad while staring at gently illuminated carbs (seriously how cool is this?!).

    9. A sleek serving tray that looks way more expensive than it is, but will make you feel oh so pampered when you use it to bring yourself breakfast in bed.

    10. An organic soy wax cube bubble candle you almost won't want to light because it's so pretty (but you should, because it'll make your place smell like flowers, coconuts, and peaches).

    11. Some Porter Seal-Tight Glass Containers that should have the slogan: "Come for the food storage, stay for the gorgeous design." They're so pretty, you'll find that leftovers can actually be a huge source of pleasure.

    12. Some irresistable wool socks, because the key to contentment is warm, toasty feet. And, not only are these socks cozy, just look at those gorgeous colors! 😍

    13. A truly "stellar" 3D moon lamp that'll give a calming glow to any room. It comes with 16 color options and five brightness levels to choose from, along with a wooden stand so you can have it on display at all times.

    14. A gorgeous tortilla press so you can enjoy homemade tacos and chips made from fresh corn tortillas in the comfort of your own kitchen. Every time you see it, you'll be reminded of how rewarding home cooking can be.

    15. A beautiful oak and brass jewelry holder that'll actually make you excited to put your jewelry away neatly, as opposed to it existing as one big tangled mass on your dresser. Those little hooks at the bottom! 😍

    16. A breathtaking floor-length dress you'll want to wear if turning heads the entire night appeals to you. Seriously, there's no way to feel anything short of euphoric while wearing (or even just looking at) this iconic garment.

    17. An eye-catching statement shag rug that's just as soft and plush as it is lovely to look at (I would know, I own it!). Get ready for compliments from everyone who enters your home.

    18. Some Brightland olive oils and vinegars, which will have you crying (tears of joy) over your restaurant-quality homecooked meals. Plus, those striking bottles will look fantastic in your kitchen.

    20. Some shimmery iridescent planters for anyone whose backyard (or stoop!) could use a bit of color. You'll actually want to water your plants just so you can be mesmerized by them.

    21. An 18-karat gold-filled smiley face bracelet that's equal parts fun and chic, and will give you the same expression as its cheery charms every time you look at it.

    22. A see-through bird house you can just stick onto your window for some next-level birdwatching when you could use a pick-me-up. We don't know who's more excited, you or your cat.

    23. A gorgeous ceramic platter, because we're adults and we're allowed to get excited about pretty serving ware, dammit! Plus, where there's a platter, there's food, so...

    24. A stunning 3D wooden wall map that'll make everyone's jaw drop when they enter your home — including you, every time you see it.

    25. A lovely macramé plant hanger, because few things can lift one's spirits like looking at some pretty greenery. And at just 10 bucks, it's an incredibly affordable way to bring some beauty into your home.

    26. A pair of bedazzled safety pin earrings that'll brighten your day and your earlobes. They strike juuust the right balance between understated and blingy, and make an all-around fun addition to your jewelry collection.

    27. A stunning rolling pin to emboss your cookie and pie doughs with an intricate and impressive-looking pattern (yes, you can take all the credit). I don't know what's more beautiful, the rolling pin itself or the GORG (and delicious) desserts you'll be making with it. And how satisfying does it look to use? 😍

    28. Some vibrant ceramic bowls that'll perk you up whenever you slurp anything — from soup to cereal milk — from them. Seriously, they'll help make your kitchen *such* a happy place.

    29. An eye-popping fanny pack you'll want to pair with every outfit for a look that exudes positive vibes.

    30. An elegant octagonal mirror to glam up your wall without being too over the top. The only thing more lovely than the mirror itself? Seeing your fab reflection whenever you walk by it. 🪞

    31. A sophisticated mini bar cart that'll make your drink ware *dazzle* ✨Plus, it'll make you happy to see your beautiful bottles on display rather than collecting dust in a cabinet.
