1. A dainty floral resin coaster that'll protect your antique wooden coffee table from condensation marks while giving your living room a whimsical touch.
Poppy & Pour is a Los Angeles-based small biz established in 2020 specializing in whimsical keychains, coasters, trinket dishes, and other accessories.
Promising review: "I’m so excited about these beautiful coasters! They’re great quality and I love how each one is unique. They really light up our coffee table :)" —Suzanne Trivette
Get it from Poppy & Pour on Etsy for $14+ (available with or without gold trim, as well as in multipacks).
2. Our Place's Perfect Pot, which not only comes in a *fabulous* array of fun colors, it'll also replace practically every other cooking tool in your kitchen (it's got 10 functions!). Think of it as a Dutch oven, but way more versatile (and a whole lot lighter). I'm seeing lots of dinner parties in your future.
It's designed for (*takes huge breath*): boiling, crisping, baking, braising, roasting, steaming, straining, pouring, serving, and storing!
I have this pot at home, and the first thing I noticed about it (aside from its pretty looks) was how shockingly light it was (less than five pounds with the lid!). As a 5-foot-tall weakling, I tend to get nervous whenever I have to lift a cast iron Dutch oven more than a few inches, so I was thrilled when I realized I'd be able to make my favorite hearty meals without the risk of dropping a heavy, piping hot cooking vessel. Plus, it comes with a steamer insert and a wooden spoon with — get this — little grooves that allow it to rest right on the pot's handle, so if you're anything like me and *still* haven't gotten around to getting a spoon rest, this bb's got you covered. Best of all, if you're short on cabinet space, this pot is so beautiful you'll want to display it on your stove for all to admire.
Promising review: "Love it, in particular the color, weight and functionality. I've been using it weekly to do a rotisserie-style chicken in the oven (amongst using it for other recipes) and it literally is perfect. My only problem — can I justify buying other colors, maybe one for each day of the week??" —Amy T.
Get it from Our Place for $165 (available in seven colors).
3. A handy little electric lighter for anyone with a sliiight phobia of using matches. This will help you light all of your favorite candles with confidence, save you money on lighter fluid, and easily reach low wicks in those super narrow candle holders. Bonus: The metallic colors are really pretty, too!
BuzzFeed Shopping's Emma Lord says: "This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended-arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it. You can read my full Leejie electric lighter review for more deets!"
Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this in a TikTok. Knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite3012
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors).
4. A snazzy gold stapler, because even the most mundane tasks are worthy of a little elevation, and it'll make your desk look like it stepped right out of your TikTok FYP.
It staples up to 20 sheets at a time!
Promising review: "I love love love this stapler!!! Besides the fact that it's beautiful, it's extremely easy to use. I have arthritis and other staplers make my hands hurt because you have to press down hard. I'm amazed by how lightly it staples through several sheets of paper at one time. I had ordered another one in red and these staplers don't disappoint. Highly recommend!" —phyllis
Get it from Amazon for $17.84 (also available in red).
5. A striking Nordic-style watering can that might actually get you to remember to keep your plants hydrated, since you'll be so excited to use it every time. It's small enough that it won't take up too much space, and its sleek, translucent design makes it as much a piece of decor as your plants themselves.
Promising review: "This watering can is a functional showpiece. Its green color is both reflective and transparent and compliments your houseplants. Virtually weightless, so filling the can with water makes watering effortless. The entire design is well thought out. It even came with a small square microfiber cloth to keep your can looking like new. Go green!" —L Rose
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 10 colors).
6. A cheery macrame fruit hammock for keeping your farmers market haul from cluttering up your precious counter space. If you look up "functional decor" in the dictionary, I'm 99% sure a picture of this lovely thing will show up.
It comes with four hooks for easy installation.
BeanDaikon is a Vietnam-based small biz that was founded by Nhan, a mother of two who learned how to make macrame starting in 2020. The company's boho-inspired designs include wall hangings, shelves, nursery decor, and other accessories.
Promising review: "This is the best thing ever! Being able to store our fruit in a very aesthetic way where you see everything is great! No more moldy fruit sitting at the bottom of the fruit bowl." —Dohie
Another promising review: "Super cute! I got this as a gift for my friend's RV. It's so perfect for small kitchens. Keeps things tidy. Thanks so much to the seller, she was very communicative." —Jenni
Get it from BeanDaikon on Etsy for $15.19+ (originally $25.31+; available in 25 colors).
7. A simple yet stunning wall-mounted mirror, which has a handy little shelf you can grab your keys from while giving yourself a quick once-over before heading out the door.
Promising review: "For years I had a small table inside the door to hold keys, mail, etc. And for years I would knock into the table with my purse, groceries, or computer bag in the small space. But one needs a place to drop stuff and a mirror to check yourself on the way out. This mirror with a built-in tray is a perfect solution and adorable. Both the mirror and gold frame are flawless. I am really happy with this find." —Sold001
Get it from Amazon for $75+ (available in gold or silver).
8. A chic portable vacuum that's much more powerful than its demure appearance would let on. Since it's cordless, it's perfect for bringing from room to room, and its small size makes it great for zapping up those crumbs that are all over your keyboard.
It comes with an adjustable nozzle attachment, USB charging cable, and cover.
Promising review: "This little vac is amazing! Not only is it pretty and looks like a bladeless fan sitting in my bathroom instead of a vac, it really works! Has two speeds, and I haven’t had to use its high speed yet. Thinking of ordering another one in white. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in four colors).
9. A pretty set of gold cable organizers to keep all of your many charging cords from becoming an unsightly mess on your desk. And they'll also prevent them from falling to the floor!
The kit includes double-sided stickers for easy adhesion to your work surface, as well as mounting hardware to use on walls.
Brighttia is a Brooklyn-based small biz established in 2018 specializing in modern and industrial interior lighting.
Promising review: "These arrived LIGHTNING fast, and they are exactly as described. I’ve got one on my desk already, and I didn’t have to disappear off camera today to dive under my desk and search for my power cable. The finish is gorgeous and I love that they solve an annoying problem so elegantly. Definitely recommend!" —emilyschneider27
Get a set of two from Brighttia on Etsy for $12.98+ (available in eight finishes, as well as in multipacks).
10. An eye-catching, compact Beast blender that'll make you feel like a culinary ~whiz~ as you effortlessly blitz up ice for your morning smoothie (and it'll become your counter's new favorite accessory).
P.S. The blending bowl also doubles as a portable thermos and comes with a screw-on drinking lid and carry cap.
I got this blender last summer, and wow, as someone who had firmly decided I was an 'I don't need a blender' person, I quickly changed my mind after the first use. For starters, it's not as large as those super industrial-strength blenders, and it's so aesthetically pleasing that I have it out on my counter at all times. Plus, it couldn't be easier to use — just fill the bowl with your ingredients, pulse, and in a matter of ~moments~ you'll have a perfectly uniform blend of whatever you're trying to blitz. I first tried it out on a smoothie made with frozen bananas and peaches (see it in action on TikTok here!), and it pulverized the icy fruit like a champ. Best of all? It's a total breeze to clean, which, if I'm being honest, was probably the biggest factor in my having waited so long to add a blender to my kitchen arsenal. I can't recommend it enough, 15/10, no notes.
Get it from Amazon for $195 (available in three colors).
11. A dazzling pack of sparkly sponges to infuse a bit of ~glamour~ into what is most likely one of your least favorite chores. And reviewers say they're just as effective at scrubbing away icky grime as they are pretty.
Promising review: "These sparkle sponges are by far my favorite!!! The sparkle outside provides gentle scrubbing power, the sponge inside holds the right amount of water, and I love the look of the sparkle!" —NY Holly
Another promising review: "I’ll buy these over any other sponge you can typically buy at the supermarket. They hold tons of soap and scrub, but don’t scratch. I’ve actually converted several people to using these. We throw these in the dishwasher every now and then to extend their lives. One sponge lasts months and doesn’t get that funky sponge smell." —Jason J
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.36 (colors vary).
12. A minimalist digital alarm clock that'll make your nightstand so aesthetically pleasing, you won't even be mad at it for waking you up at 5 a.m. — plus, it doubles (quadruples?) as a portable Bluetooth speaker, wireless charger, and night-light!
It has three brightness levels, 16 volume levels, and a rechargeable battery, and is compatible with all Qi-enabled phones.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for — a bedside clock that has an alarm, LED display, radio option, built-in speakers...and then it has MORE features! I didn't expect the Bluetooth capability, ability to charge my phone, or the night light function (with three brightness settings). It's perfect for my needs and it looks great, too!" —M. Reaves
Get it from Amazon for $46.90.
13. A swoonworthy Canopy humidifier, because if you've been holding off on getting one of these essentials out of concern about a bulky, unattractive appliance messing up your home's look, fear no more. This one's compact and comes in such gorgeous pastels and neutrals, you'll want it front and center.
It hydrates rooms up to 500 square feet (bye bye, dry skin and scratchy throat!), has dishwasher-safe parts, provides up to 36 hours of usage when charged, and is USB rechargeable. Oh, and it comes with an aroma sample kit!
Promising review: "I've had it less than 24 hours and I'm so obsessed that I'm already mentally arranging where I'll place the others that I intend to buy. I want one in every room! I don't know how I ever lived without it. It changed the air in my room in the first hour alone and I was excited to see how it would be by morning. Confirming, it's heavenly. This is going to be a game changer for my asthma since it's something I'll actually use — versus my ugly old humidifier that I never used because I didn't want to leave it out. Soooo how quickly can I get a few more shipped out?!' —Chemin R.
Get it from Canopy for $150 (also available with filter subscriptions, as well as in a larger size and a nursery style).
14. A charming set of fruit-printed oven mitts that'll bring a smile to your face even as you're carrying an absurdly heavy, piping-hot casserole dish to the table. And its waterproof, nonslip silicone shell keeps the colorful fabric protected from stains!
Psst: They can go in the washer!
Promising review: "I bought these for myself over the holidays. I am an avid cook and use my oven at least twice a day. I had really crappy oven mitts that were all fabric and stained. The appeal of these was the fact that they were covered in silicone, so any spills and accidents wouldn't stain the beautiful fabric. I have used them at various temperatures (350–500) and haven't felt any heat. I did, however, think they came apart for washing, but the lining is sewn to the silicone. I don't think it will be a problem, though. Great oven mitts and really love the pattern of the fabric!!" —Judy
Get a set of two from Amazon for $22.98 (also available in five other prints and a potholder style).
15. A shabby-chic ruffled shower curtain for anyone who thinks their bathtub deserves the same level of linen treatment as their windows. Just make sure Scarlett O'Hara uses your other bathroom.
It can be thrown in the washer and dryer, and reviewers recommend drying it before hanging it up to get rid of wrinkles. And don't forget a liner!
Promising review: "Beautiful and perfect for my farmhouse style bathroom! It was wrinkled when I got it, but I put it in the dryer for about five minutes and the wrinkles came out. The curtain is so soft and well-made. The top of the curtain is made of a stronger material and the metal rings seem to be reinforced for more durability. I am extremely pleased with this shower curtain!" —Kim
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three colors).
16. A solid bamboo storage bench that won't only hold your shoes, it'll give you a comfy place to sit down and put 'em on as well. Good luck choosing between those gorgeous color options. 😍
Promising review: "This bench is soooo GORGEOUS! The product is well-packed and assembly was straightforward and simple. One person can easily put it together in no time. It can fit 3–4 pairs of regular shoes underneath. Seems like we got a good bench that's gonna last for a long time. So glad we go this bench for the front door, now we can easily change shoes without bending over and hurting our backs." —Leia
Get it from Wayfair for $107.99+ (available in five colors).
17. A set of gold stainless-steel chip clips because your prized bags of Doritos deserve better than the flimsy plastic ones. Plus, they'll make your midnight snack feel a little fancy. ✨
18. A stylish ceramic space heater that'll keep your toes toasty, even when repairing your radiator is apparently not at the top of your landlord's priority list. 🙃
It has three temperature settings (including a cool setting), heats up in a matter of seconds, and comes with an automatic shut-off feature if it tips over.
Promising review: "Blown away by how powerful and effective this tiny little heater is! This is the second one we bought! We use it for my daughter's bedroom, which is very big and has vaulted ceilings and gets cold in the winter! Works great! Stylish, too!" —Rachael Rakes
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in white or silver).
19. And an adorable retro-style fan, because you shouldn't have to sacrifice aesthetics for refreshing airflow when your house feels hotter than a Palm Springs sauna. Just, so ~cool~ (sorry).
The smallest size has two speeds, while the larger ones have three.
Promising review: "I'm not above admitting I am very often a 'form over function' type of girl...but this air circulator is where FORM and FUNCTION and VALUE all intersect equally. I find all three settings useful in different ways. The low is virtually silent, and I find it best for when I want moving air on a cooler day. The medium and high are both great for cooling a room, and also obviously for keeping air flowing. As long as you know what an air circulator is for (not for pointing AT you), there's no going wrong with this one! Even laying in my bed (in an entirely different direction from where it's pointed) I can feel the flowing fresh air...incredible! I will NEVER go without this thing." —Peahat
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes, as well as a pedestal design, and in green or white).
20. A stylish and sturdy jute basket that'll keep clutter at bay while giving off cute boho decor vibes. See ya, ugly plastic laundry bins!
Promising review: "Beautiful, heavy duty, well-made. I bought it to put next to a chair for books, a blanket, etc. but my cat loves it, too! Makes a soft bed for her!" —charlotte silver
Get it from Amazon for $23.39+ (available in four styles).
21. A refined faux leather tissue box cover for anyone who loves the idea of having disposable hankies near the couch at all times but refuses to disrupt their impeccably styled living room's look with a less-than-elegant cardboard cube.
22. A vibrant knit throw blanket that'll keep you warm on your couch until spring finally rears its head. Plus, those fun colors and prints will help zhuzh up your neutral-heavy decor and make you forget all about the nonstop cold and gloomy weather outside.
Verloop is an AAPI-, woman-, and family-owned small biz making just the most *delightful* knits, including fun home decor and cozy outerwear accessories.
I recently bought a Verloop throw blanket because I'd been admiring them for AGES, and I needed something that would make my gray couch a liiittle less boring. It's the perfect colorful touch my living room had been begging for, and it's also extremely soft (I will not tolerate scratchy fabrics, so I was thrilled when I felt how comfy it was). I'm actually curled up in it as I type this, and even though it's a bit of a splurge, I think it's 100% worth the money for the quality craftsmanship and the amount of joy it brings me whenever I look at it. Hands down the best home purchase I made in 2022.
Get it from Verloop for $89+ (available in many colors and patterns).
23. An aesthetically pleasing bottle scrub brush so you'll finally be able to clean all of those mason jars and water bottles you've accumulated over the years without having to squeeze your hand and a sponge through a tiny opening. Best of all, it's compostable once it's time for a replacement!
Just hang to dry between uses, and clean with vinegar when needed.
Me Mother Earth is a small business based in Las Vegas, Nevada, that makes eco-friendly housewares and cleaning products. They don't use any plastic in their shipping, and products come packed with either kraft paper or compostable peanuts.
Promising review: "Beautiful brush! It fits in a very narrow-mouthed bottle and I love that it's eco-friendly." —Sam Sasscer
Another promising review: "Great brush, cleaned out the stains in my travel coffee mug instantly! So nice for reaching small and hard-to-reach areas of cups, flower vases, etc." —Talia Head
Get it from Me Mother Earth on Etsy for $7.99 (available with wide or narrow tips).
24. Plus an *actually* attractive dustpan and brush set that'll make sweeping up a liiittle more enjoyable (or at least more visually appealing). And when it's not in use, it'll look great hanging up!
Promising review: "Well-made product. The brush has strong bristles, and the dustpan has a pliable end that catches the dirt nicely. The color and wooden handle look great, too." —Mila
Another promising review: "It's a dustpan I actually like to have sitting out! It's very pretty, the bristles are stiff and close together, so it sweeps very well. We only use it on large items like food so I can't speak to how it would handle finer dust/sand, since we vacuum that. It works well for what we use it for!" —Mackenzie Heyerhoff
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
25. Some beautiful Porter Seal-Tight glass bowls with lids, because if you're gonna eat leftovers, you should, at the very least, have a few impossibly stylish food storage vessels to reheat and consume them out of. It's been fun, boring plastic containers (not).
The jars are BPA-free as well as microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says: "Before working from home became the norm, I would use these handy jars to bring my lunch almost every day. They're perfect for things like fruit, salad, or something saucy — stuff you really don't want to get squished *and* want to ensure doesn't leak into your bag. *But* I have found that I use them just as much at home full-time! They are of course great for leftovers, but also for prepped ingredients for the week. Shedded cheese, prepped chicken, and chopped veggies usually live in these, ready to be utilized for a quick lunch or snack. They clean *super* well — I even have the cream color and it recovered from storing beets! 10/10 from me."
Get them from Amazon for $24.37+ each (available in two sizes and five colors).
26. A pack of amber spray bottles so you can transfer your cleaning liquids from their unsightly containers into these much more aesthetically pleasing ones. Dusting just got a biiig upgrade.
They also come with some customizable labels!
Promising review: "I have water in one bottle for misting and neem oil in the other. They're functional and elegant. I love that they come with separate leak-proof caps for transit and space saving. One spray mode is a perfect mist and the other is a strong stream that doesn't disturb the soil of my plotted plants too much. I'm very happy with my purchase." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in blue or clear).
27. A gold knife set worthy of King Midas himself that just might turn your least favorite kitchen task (chopping vegetables) into a source of pleasure. You'll feel so fancy wielding these babies!
It comes with an 8-inch chef knife, 8-inch slicer knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 5-inch utility knife, and 3.5-inch paring knife.
Promising review: "Best knives I have had. These are beautiful and super sharp. I've never been able to cut a tomato this well, even using a knife that was just sharpened." —April Lewis
Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (also available in black and silver).
28. An expensive-looking gold-handled toilet brush and holder, because if you must do something as unpleasant as scrubbing your bowl, why not give yourself something nice to look at while you're doing it?
29. And a compact motion-sensor garbage can with pretty gold details that'll hide your trash while masquerading as a piece of TikTok-worthy b-room decor.
Don't forget the AA batteries!
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this product!! It’s a cute trash can for my bathroom and hides the unsightly garbage. It does take a second or two for the motion detector to work BUT I’m OK with that. You don’t want it going off every time you move by it. Highly recommend this!!" —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
30. An equal parts ingenious and elegant acrylic pen holder and built-in calendar you'll ~clearly~ want on your desk if it could use some tidying up.
Just swap out the numbered sticks to update the calendar each month!
Get it from Anthropologie for $30.
31. A sleek oil dispenser with — get this — a neat little measuring pump so you don't have to dig up your measuring spoons whenever you're following a recipe. And now no one will know when you've bought the cheaper stuff, since it'll be concealed in this pretty vessel!
To use, just hold the button until the oil in the measuring cup reaches the amount you need. Plus, it comes with an olive oil mister that'll help you get light, even coverage on your pans.
Promising review: "This product is easy to use and is the perfect addition to any kitchen! I love how easily I can measure out olive oil and how smoothly it comes out of the bottle. It is great for cooking or for drizzling over salads! Not only is it easy to use, but it also looks nice in the kitchen. Unlike a plastic olive oil bottle, this dispenser is a beautiful addition to my counter top. Also, for anyone who is interested in measuring out their olive oil without needing to constantly pull out a tablespoon, this is the perfect dispenser for you! The spray bottle is also great for cooking! I love that I know exactly what comes out of the spray bottle, rather than a store-bought spray bottle with additives. 10/10 would recommend!" —Clotilde D.
Get it from Amazon for $29.89.
32. Some understated yet fun jumbo clothespin hooks for a unique spin on the traditional towel rack. Plus they'll actually, like, keep your towels from slipping to the floor.

Get them from Barwood Shop on Etsy for $25.97+ each (available in seven finishes).
33. A colorful set of Unpaper Towels, because not only are they more eco-friendly than the single-use rolls (these can go in the wash and be reused!), they'll also save you tons of money over time if you and your family are spill-prone. Reviewers say they're just as absorbent as the disposable ones, and the fun prints will look cute in your kitchen, too!
Marley's Monsters is a family-owned small biz based in Eugene, Oregon, making eco-friendly home goods, from reusable plastic wrap alternatives to garbage pail liners!
Promising review: "I have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. These are great for drying hands, wiping up spills, wiping hands and faces, cleaning a messy table after a meal, wrapping a snack or sandwich, I could go on and on and on. The mix of patterns is perfect and it's always fun seeing which one is next. They cling together to roll up so easily and they stay super soft through washing (we've had the cloth wipes for over four years now)." —SJEmber
Get a 24-pack from Marley's Monsters on Amazon for $64.99 (available in 17 styles) or a 24-pack with a wooden holder on Etsy for $96 (available in mixed solids, mixed prints, or white).
34. A tasseled moon phase bath mat so fetching, it'll give the runner in your hallway a run for its money. And reviewers say it's nice and cushy for your feet, too!
35. And finally, a vintage-inspired toaster you'll actually want to display on your counter, since it's sure to garner compliments from everyone who sees it. And don't worry — it might look old-fashioned, but it does indeed have a dedicated bagel setting.
It fits four slices of bread and has adjustable browning control, defrost, bagel, and reheat settings.
Promising review: "Great retro-looking toaster! Loved the color choices. Very sturdy, and toasts very well from bread to bagels. No more burnt toast! I have used this for three months and I would highly recommend this. I will be purchasing another for a family member." —Paula Eckroth
