    39 Gorgeous Versions Of Useful Household Items That Prove You Really Can Have It All

    Like a gorgeous humidifier that'll actually enhance your home's aesthetic rather than be an eyesore.

    1. A modern wall-mounted bookshelf for neatly storing all of those novels you will ~DEFINITELY~ read at some point. You've probably grown accustomed to your books being arranged in little stacks on the floor, but, alas, the time has come for them to have a home of their own, and one that's *stunning* to boot. Make sure you hold onto one side and swing from it with an outstretched arm like Belle every so often!

    It's also great for displaying plants and little trinkets, and each shelf can hold up to 55 pounds! Assembly does require scissors and a Phillips-head screwdriver.

    Promising review: "Wow, this shelf makes a statement in my living room! It’s absolutely gorgeous and gets so many compliments!! It was so easy to install, it took maybe 20 minutes to assemble and install total. Also it’s super sturdy!!" —Mamakateplus4

    Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in three sizes and 18 styles).

    2. A cushy and colorful cotton hand towel (or seven) so your home will never be accused of not having an ~aesthetic~. Even our most mundane products deserve beautiful upgrades, and these are so lovely and plush, you'll probably start washing your hands more often just so you can use them.

    Kalkedon Towels / Etsy

    Based in NYC, Kalkedon Towels specializes in gorgeous linens for the home that anyone who loves color will go absolutely gaga over.

    Promising review: "This towel is GORGEOUS in person, and a great size! It has a thick, high-quality feel. I can't wait to hang it in our newly renovated bathroom." —Hannah Baskin

    Another promising review: "Great quality towels! I love the way they look in my bathroom! They are also extremely soft and larger than a typical hand towel. Highly recommend." —Heidi

    Get it from Kalkedon Towels on Etsy for $16.99 (available in 10 colors, as well as in a set with a bath towel).

    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!

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping's Emma Lord is a huge fan: "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 $9.89 (available in five colors).

    4. A striking Nordic-style watering can that might actually help you 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.

    reviewer photo of the green watering can on a windowsill next to some potted plants

    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 $14.99+ (available in eight colors). 

    5. A cheery macrame fruit hammock for preventing 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.

    BeanDaikon / Etsy

    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 $16.66+ (originally $20.83+; available in 25 colors). 

    6. A ~swoonworthy~ Our Place Always Pan, which will quickly become your go-to stovetop 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 encourage you to try new things with its seven cooking functions. 

    GIF of someone taking the lid off the pink Always Pan and lifting a steamer basket filled with dumplings out of the pan
    the green always pan on a kitchen counter surrounded by cups, bowls, and plates
    Our Place

    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!

    BuzzFeed Shopping's Taylor Steele loves this thing: "As someone who neither enjoys cooking nor is particularly good at it, the Always Pan has made being in the kitchen feel like less of a chore. Having one pan that can do everything means I don't have to second-guess every cooking decision I make. I can boil and prepare pasta in it. And I can roast Brussels sprouts. And I can make the perfect fried egg. And I can steam dumplings. The best part is that everything slides so seamlessly out of the pan and onto the plate, which also makes clean up super fast and easy. Both the amateur (read: reluctant) cook and the more seasoned chef will enjoy creating fan favorites and new recipes in the Always Pan!"

    Also, BuzzFeeders LOVE this pan: Seven of our team members shared their thoughts in our in-depth Always Pan review, saying they loved everything from its nonstick coating and lightweight feel to its *gorgeous* design.

    Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in six colors).

    7. And for oven use, Our Place's Perfect Pot, because if the old, grimy cookware set you bought freshman year is still sitting on top of your stove, it's time for an upgrade. This versatile (and *gorgeous*) cooking vessel has 10 functions in one, meaning you can use it for almost anything — and its super lightweight design will give you more control and confidence when you're lifting it.

    gif of someone lifting the lid off of the blue perfect pot to reveal a hot soup
    arms putting the lavender pot into an oven
    Our Place

    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'-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 eight colors). 

    8. A set of gold embroidery scissors that'll make your sewing hobby feel downright luxurious. One pair is studded with ornate blossoms, and the other has a sleek crane design — oh, and reviewers say these bbs are PLENTY sharp.

    Promising review: "The scissors are so sharp! I bought them for their beauty, but they quickly escalated to my favorites. I crochet daily and like to have scissors in all of my work areas. These are perfect!" —Yolanda Austin

    Get it from Amazon for $10.96.

    9. A stylish and sturdy jute basket, which keeps unsightly clutter at bay while giving off cute boho decor vibes. See ya, ugly plastic laundry bins!

    Amazon

    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 $22.09+ (available in four styles).

    10. 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.

    gif of reviewer turning on the pink vacuum
    reviewer photo of the white vacuum on a desk near a flower vase

    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). 

    11. vintage-inspired toaster you'll actually want out on your counter, since it'll surely win you compliments from everyone who sees it. And don't worry — it might look old-fashioned, but it does indeed have a dedicated bagel setting. 

    reviewer photo of the white toaster
    the light blue toaster

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $89.95+ (available in six colors). 

    12. A *gorgeous* accent table to hide all of that stuff you have that probably shouldn't be thrown out, but definitely shouldn't be on display. Furniture that's aesthetically pleasing and reduces clutter? We love to see it.

    reviewer photo of the wood paneled accent table holding a vase of tulips, a framed print, and a mirror
    reviewer photo of the inside of the accent table showing two shelves filled with files, pens, paper, and other office supplies

    There is some assembly involved, and while reviewers say the instructions could be a bit clearer, a mix of the photos and intuition makes it totally doable. You've got this!

    Promising review: "Beautiful piece! Fell in love with it since I saw it online, even more after it was completely assembled! It's not too difficult to put together, the tricky park for us was to get the hinges to align. Would definitely recommend! Love it!" —Bea

    Another promising review: "This accent cabinet was exactly what I was looking for! I love the amount of storage inside (and how it's hidden) and the simplicity of putting it together. Totally worth the money!" —ViP

    Get it from Amazon for $196.91+ (available in three styles).

    13. A lovely chenille tufted pillow for making your uncomfortable desk chair feel like a royal throne. It's also a great floor cushion if you're short on chairs, and once you see the stunning color options, you'll want one of each.

    reviewer photo of five assorted pillows in different colors arranged on the floor around a coffee table

    Promising review: "We bought a small one-bedroom condo and have a pullout couch for guests when they stay the night. When we have more people over, these work great as extra seating in our modest living room and stack great in the corner when we’re not using them! They are SUUUPER cozy and comfy! Just the right amount of cushion!" —Keri Brewer

    Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in eight colors).

    14. A compact motion-sensor garbage bin with pretty gold details that'll hide your trash while masquerading as a piece of TikTok-worthy b-room decor. 

    reviewer close-up of the white and gold garbage can
    reviewer photo of the white and gold garbage can in their bathroom

    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 (also available in a gray style and a smaller size). 

    15. And 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?

    Promising review: "I can't really picture a bathroom this wouldn't look good in. Has just enough heft to keep it balanced and it maneuvers about perfectly." —Taylor

    Get it from Amazon for $17.49 (also available in black and gray styles). 

    16. Plus an aesthetically pleasing plant-derived toilet spray so you can eliminate any evidence of whatever just went down in your b-room. 😬

    two bottles of the toilet spray next to a bar of soap

    This spray contains naturally derived scents, like eucalyptus, lavender, coconut, and cedar. And the smallest bottle is good for up to 200 uses!

    Promising review: "A really great product for such a stinky task! I was impressed that one spray gets the job done so you can really get a lot of use out of this product. I really like that once you’re done, the scent of the product doesn’t really hang around like some other types of spray do. Spray, do your business, and flush — it’s like it never happened. Would definitely recommend!" —Jennifer Moon

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in two sizes and three scents, as well as packs of two). 

    17. A sophisticated rolling bar cart for storing all of those bottles that are currently collecting dust in a forgotten cabinet. It looks straight-up fancy! ✨

    This cart's dimensions are 37.5"H x 36"W x 15"D.

    Promising review: "This is such a beautiful bar cart! I’m surprised it’s not priced higher for the quality of this product. It’s super easy to assemble, and you can fit a lot on it! I’ve tried other carts, and I’m very pleased with this. Size, sturdiness, and height are perfection. I wouldn’t even hesitate to purchase this!" —Mikyle Jessen

    Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (expert assembly is available for an additional cost). 

    18. A stylishly asymmetrical two-tiered TV stand, because while using two milk crates to prop up your TV has proven mildly effective, your living room's aesthetic deserves a lot more. This sleek piece isn't your standard clunky console, and it essentially doubles as a bookcase/decor display. Plus, its open design tricks the eye into thinking the area it's placed in is more spacious than it actually is.

    the wooden console holding a tv and other decorative items
    reviewer photo of the wooden console holding a tv, which is backlit with pink and orange lights

    It's made of solid pine and can fit TVs up to 50 inches in length.

    Full disclosure: Reviews seem to be split on whether or not this piece is best put together alone or with at least one partner, but even the shoppers who said they did it alone fairly easily did say it would have been faster with one more person. Either way, you've got this!

    Promising review (for solo assembly): "This is an excellent product!! It's real solid wood. It's sturdy. It's easy to put together. I put it together by myself but it would be quicker with some help. I used a drill and that made it much easier. I had no issues with it arriving damaged and nothing was missing. They even give you extra screws. The only minor complaint I have is that some of the predrilled holes weren't drilled deep enough, but if you have a drill it's an easy fix. 100% satisfied." —Jessica S

    Promising review (for partnered assembly): "My sister and I put this together easily. The only issue was that the wooden dowels had to be hammered in on some of the holes, as they didn’t slide in as easy as others. Other than that, no complaints. Beautiful piece. I get lots of compliments." —Carson

    Get it from Amazon for $206.99 (expert assembly is also available for an additional fee). 

    19. 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. It's also so pretty, it'll become your counter's new favorite accessory.

    Amazon

    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).

    20. A set of honeycomb-style hexagon shelves to store and show off all of those lovely little trinkets you've collected over the years. It's not hoarding if everything has a dedicated place, right?

    303 Woods / Etsy

    Based in Shreveport, Louisiana, 303 Woods makes beautiful, custom-built furniture and home decor.

    Promising review: "We received our shelves last night and I LOVE THEM! They are exactly as described and the perfect size for the wall in our hallway. They are also sent with nails for you to hang them. I cannot say enough great things about Joey. I was a little leery about hanging them because people posted so many different ways of arranging them, but I reached out to Joey and he showed me the simplest way! He was so kind and responsive. Super friendly seller! I would absolutely purchase from him again and recommend his work!" —Kristine Tran

    Get a set of five from 303 Woods on Etsy for $115

    21. A modern acrylic step stool, because if you're on the shorter side (*raises hand*) you could probably use a little ~boost~ now and again. Step stools are just a way of life for us ground-dwellers, so make sure you love the look of yours — this one will seamlessly fit in with any aesthetic.

    It's got a weight capacity of 275 pounds and has water- and slip-resistant vinyl strips on top. 

    Based in Long Beach, California James Reese Baby is a small biz that actually became known for its chic nursery items and wound up making an acrylic step stool for adults due to popular demand!

    Promising review: "I was looking for the perfect step stool for my closet and this met and exceeded my expectations! Item shipped quickly and customer service was exceptional. I have since ordered the smaller version for my child’s bathroom. It’s perfect in any space." —mayumigrace

    Get it from James Reese Baby on Etsy for $199

    22. 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. 🙃

    reviewer photo of the white space heater
    reviewer's dog sleeping in front of the space heater

    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 $23.98 (also available in silver)

    23. 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). 

    reviewer photo of the green and gold fan on a dresser
    the white fan on an end table

    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). 

    24. A stunning oak and brass jewelry holder that's equal parts functional and decorative. Now your delicate chains will be neatly displayed rather than existing as one big tangled mass on your dresser — and those little hooks at the bottom are *chef's kiss*.

    Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE this unique jewelry organizer. Not only did it ship and arrive very quickly, but it also is sturdy, beautiful and 100% worth every penny. It looks like a piece of artwork hanging on my wall. I’m so beyond pleased!" —Kayla Sewell

    Get it from Figure Grain on Etsy for $89+ (available with gold or silver hardware and with one or two trays). 

    25. 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!

    Get it from Me Mother Earth on Etsy for $7.99 (available with wide or narrow tips).

    26. And an *actually* attractive dustpan and brush set that'll make sweeping up a liiittle more enjoyable. And when it's not in use, it'll look great hanging up!

    Get it from Amazon for $13.49.

    27. A boho macramé plant hanger so you can enjoy some lush greenery, even if you're short on surfaces for storing vases and pots. And at just 10 bucks, it's an incredibly affordable way of bringing some beauty into your home.

    Reviewer photo of the white macrame plant hanger

    This handmade plant holder is 35 inches long and is suitable for pots up to nine inches in diameter.

    Promising review: "This plant hanger is extremely attractive and well-made. It holds my rather heavy plant securely and enhances the beauty of the foliage. The pot is quite wide around, and I was concerned the hanger might not open up enough to accommodate it, but it's fine. Excellent hanger for the money." —KRW

    Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in four colors, as well as sets of two).

    28. A minimalist desk organizer in case your WFH situation is feeling a little...chaotic. 😫 Relax, take a deep breath, and feel a renewed sense of clarity when you transfer that never-ending pen and paperclip desk clutter to this (honestly v pretty!) accessory.

    29. A hanging branch clothing rack you can think of as a wildly chic extension of your closet, which, let's face it, is way too small for all of your fabulous clothes. Instead of letting them pile up on your floor, hang the most gorgeous pieces of the bunch on this baby and they'll pass as decor!

    Get it from PaPappa on Etsy for $138.97+ (available in four branch options and five hanging materials).

    30. 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

    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 (available in seven colors, with or without filter subscriptions, as well as in a larger size and a nursery style).

    Promising review: "Love these sooo much! You'd never know the central bit is plastic and not glass. They look great in our kitchen and work well! We've had these for six months now and use them daily." —Sarah Bearden

    Get it from Amazon for $22.09.

    35. 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 two sizes in gold or silver).

    36. 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 $25+ each (available in two sizes and four colors).

    37. 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

    38. A downright jaw-dropping wooden dog house so baller, you'll wanna tell your pup, "Hey, go sleep on my bed" and move into it. Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration, but who would blame you? And no more tattered doggy bed in the middle of your living room!

    Promising review: "Could not love this item more! We ordered the large size for our corgi (to accommodate his long body!) and it's just perfect. Our dog goes in it all the time, he clearly loves the cushion at the bottom. Everyone comments on how beautiful it is, it's really like a piece of furniture. The seller provided instructions that were very clear, which made the setup quick. Shipped to us in California in a matter of days, very impressive! Thank you so much, we absolutely love it!" —Jill Thorsen

    39. And finally, a sleek wine-chilling bucket that'll add some glam to your table while keeping your prized bottles crisp and cool for up to two hours. Cheers to that!

    It can fit practically any 750-milliliter bottle of wine, and should be washed by hand.

    Promising review: "Top marks! This wine/bottle cooler is both an elegant AND practical addition for any occasion where you want cooled wine, champagne, or other beverages close at hand. I used it at Thanksgiving for the first time and my company remarked how nice it looked. I like its 'clean' elegant design and it’s more effective than what I’ve used in the past. I also think it would make a lovely hostess or holiday gift!" —Bev

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in stainless steel or copper finishes).
