1. A modern wall-mounted bookshelf for neatly storing all of those novels YOU WILL DEFINITELY READ AT SOME POINT! I know you've 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.
Promising review: "This bookcase was just perfect for our living room. It has a lot of capacity but is still sleek. It fits perfectly into a contemporary/midcentury modern/Japandi aesthetic. It was easy to assemble and made from high-quality materials. The only complaint I had was that I needed an offset screwdriver to screw it into the wall. I would also like to commend the rep for the excellent customer service I received. The original item I received has a small manufacturing defect: The thread in one of the holes of one shelf was missing so I couldn't attach the bolt. After I contacted them, they looked into it, and sent me a replacement bookcase free of charge." —Aniruddha
Get it from Amazon for $100.99+ (available in four sizes and 10 colors/finishes).
2. An exquisite hand painted tea kettle that's just begging for a place on your stove, though I have a feeling it won't have to try very hard. If you love the ritual of having a morning tea or coffee, this gorgeous pot will make it feel all the more special.
Kaushalam Creations is a small biz based in India that makes just *the* most stunning hand painted kitchen accessories, from bowls and trays to tumblers and spice containers.
Promising review: "All I can say is WOW! It’s so beautiful and shipped quickly. I am very proud to own such a beautiful, fine tea pot. I can imagine owning it for a very long time." —Pauline Orr
Get it from Kaushalam Creations on Etsy for $55+ (available in stainless steel or aluminum).
3. An asymmetrical, two-tier TV stand, because while using two milk crates to prop up your TV has proven mildly effective, your living room's aesthetic deserves so much more. It has way more visual appeal than a standard clunky console, and essentially doubles as a bookcase/display shelf.
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 building): "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 building): "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 $227.99+ (available in amber or gray).
4. An impossibly chic pleated toaster to infuse some beauty into your morning, even if you're in such a rush that you only have time to gobble down a quick slice for breakfast.
5. A — how should I say this? — jaw-dropping wooden dog house that's so baller, you'll want to move into it and tell your pup to sleep on your bed instead. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but who could blame you?
Based in North Carolina, WLO Wood is a small business that makes truly next-level wooden dog houses AND, best of all, donates a large number of their gorgeous creations to dog rescues!
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
Get it from WLO Wood on Etsy for $224.10+ (originally $249+; available in four sizes and six cushion colors).
6. A *gorgeous* accent table with doors to secretly hide all of that, just, stuff you have lying around 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.
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 part for us was to get the hinges to align. Would definitely recommend! Love it!" —Bea
Get it from Amazon for $204.99.
7. A seriously swoonworthy ceramic frying pan set that won't only make you happy when you see how beautiful it looks in your kitchen, but also how effortless its nonstick interior is to clean. This line was also one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2021, so you know it's a good one.
It includes 8-inch and 10-inch pans.
Promising review: "Gorgeous! These pans have completely changed my life! I look forward to cooking every day. They are actually nonstick, nontoxic, AND they're jut beautiful out in your kitchen." —Jackie99
Get it from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in pink or green) or GreenPan for $149.99 (also available in other colors here).
8. A sleek and sophisticated mini bar cart for keeping your beautiful bottles and drinkware organized and on display, rather than collecting dust in some random cabinet like they are right now.
Reviewers say it's on the shorter side, so depending on your height, it might be better as a stationary piece rather than something you wheel around.
Promising review: "Six stars for sturdiness. This cart doesn't squeak or lean, it's very high-quality, and something I would expect to find at a Crate & Barrel." —Jason E Steckey
Get it from Amazon for $94.85+ (available in six designs).
9. 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. And it's basically a piece of decor in its own right!
It includes screws and drywall anchors for mounting.
FigureGrain is an LA-based biz that makes functional yet stylish organizational accessories to keep your home clutter-free.
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 FigureGrain on Etsy for $89+ (available with gold or silver hardware).
10. A set of gold embroidery scissors to 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 $13.99.
11. A lovely linen kitchen glove that won't only protect your hand from hot handles, its calming aesthetic will bring a sense of serenity to even the most chaotic cooking scenarios.
Based in LA, Dylan Home Goods is a small biz specializing in lovely handmade linens for the kitchen and home.
Promising review: "These oven mitts are simply beautiful. Well designed and constructed as well as attractive. Everyone should have a pair of these in their kitchen." —dulcimer41
Get it from Dylan Home Goods on Etsy for $16.50 (available in beige or gold).
12. A lovely macramé plant hanger so you can enjoy some lush greenery, even if you're short on surfaces to store vases and pots. And at just 10 bucks, it's an incredibly affordable way to bring some beauty into your home.
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 $9.99+ (also available as a set of two and in four colors).
13. Some jumbo clothespin hooks that are both understated and fun for a spin on the traditional towel rack. Plus, they'll actually, like, keep your towels from slipping to the floor.
Barwood Shop is a home decor shop in Adirondack, New York that makes custom wood pieces that are stylish and functional.
Promising review: "OMG! So much fun. Unique and functional! Easy to order, arrived as advertised and on time. Made everyone who has seen it smile! I call that a win :-)" —Doris Morgan
Get it from Barwood Shop on Etsy for $25.97+ (available in seven finishes).
14. A minimalist salt and pepper grinder set you should add to your cart if you want to instantly class up your countertop. And aesthetics aside, your food will taste so much more delicious with freshly ground seasonings.
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 $26.99.
15. A pretty in pink portable vacuum (we've got ourselves a tongue twister here!) 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 “high” speed yet. Thinking of ordering another one in white. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (also available in black or white).
16. A hanging branch clothing rack you can think of as a wildly chic extension of your closet, which, let's face it, is wayyy too small for all of your fabulous clothes. Hang the most gorgeous pieces of the bunch on this baby for all to admire (rather than letting them pile up on top of your dresser).
PaPappa is a small business based in Tallinn, Estonia that sells whimsical clothing racks, rugs, and other home goods.
Promising review: "Everyone that has visited my new flat has commented on how lovely this is." —Claire Mackenzie
Get it from PaPappa on Etsy for $131.25+ (available in four different branch options and five hanging material options).
17. A compact blender that — dare I say — is an absolute knockout?! Even if you're short on cabinet space, don't fret, because you'll want to keep this baby on display 24/7. Oh, and it's also powerful enough to blitz up ice so finely, it'll keep the "smooth" in your morning smoothie.
P.S. The blending bowl also doubles as a portable thermos, and comes with a screw-on drinking lid and carry cap!
Promising review: "There are so many things to love about this blender! Its sleek design, quiet motor and overall look makes you proud to place it on your kitchen countertop. The most impressive part of the Beast is its blending power. The 1-minute interval program is the perfect length of time to ensure all of your ingredients are fully blended. No need to shake the bottle or re-blend multiple times! Each time I've used the Beast I've gotten smooth, creamy smoothies that taste amazing. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect blender!" —Allison K.
Get it from Amazon for $155 (available in black or gray).
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer swears by this thing — read her full review of the Beast Blender!
18. A handmade macrame toilet paper holder to give your b-room a sweet little BoHo touch. Has it ever crossed your mind that you could get compliments on a TP holder? Because with this you 100 percent will.
Sasak Market is a small business that sells handmade home goods with a focus on sustainability. They ship without plastic, and their items are vegan!
Promising review: "Such a beautifully made item! It adds extra character to my bathroom and arrived quickly after purchasing!" —Megan
Get it from Sasak Market on Etsy for $17.
19. A colorful microwave that only looks retro, so you'll be able to prepare more than just TV dinners with it. It comes with six power settings, as well as a defrosting function, and turning the timer's old school knob will make you feel like you teleported to an episode of I Love Lucy.
Promising review: "This is my favorite of all microwaves I’ve owned. The bebop blue color is beautiful, and the retro style/design makes it even better! I love the handle to open it. So much easier (and looks better) than the push button method of opening other microwaves I have owned. I also love the dial rather than pushing numbers. It’s simple to figure out and just looks nicer than a regular panel of numbers. It takes a little longer to heat my food than bigger/more powerful microwaves I have had before, but in the grand scheme of things, what is 10 more seconds? Love, love, love it!" —Kami Richardson
Get it from Amazon for $59.98+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
20. 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 encourage you to try new things with its seven cooking functions.
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!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Taylor Steele has to say about the Always Pan: "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 review of the Always Pan, saying they loved everything from its nonstick coating and lightweight feel to its *gorgeous* design.
Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in seven colors).
21. A sleek toilet brush that's so lovely, you probably won't even want to use it to clean up all that you-know-what. But you should! Because if you have to clean your toilet, you may as well have something pretty to do it with.
Promising review: "So sleek! A toilet brush that's actually beautiful — I display mine proudly! Truly, nothing transforms a bathroom like functional objects that are sleek and streamlined." —Arati M.
Get it from Amazon or Food52 for $53 (available in four colors from Amazon and eight colors from Food52).
22. A plush velvet cushion to make your favorite seat feel like a royal throne. It comes with ties you can attach to your chair to ensure it stays put, and once you see the stunning color options, you'll want one of each.
BrokenflowerGift is a small biz based in China, and if you're in need of a great gift, be sure to check out their selection of kitchen decor, pillows, and other fun items for the home.
Promising review: "This was very well-made and beautiful. The padding is thick and comfortable, and the color is vibrant. Love this!" —Jo Jimerson
Get it from BrokenflowerGift on Etsy for $27.02 (originally $38.60; available in six colors).
23. 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 might even look forward to leftovers!
The jars are BPA-free, as well as microwave and dishwasher safe.
BuzzFeed Shopping's 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. Shredded 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 $20.35+ (available in two sizes and five colors).
24. A pretty floral apron for anyone who believes that good style should extend even to the linens you wear to protect your IRL clothes. Oh, and it's also made of super sturdy fabric, which helps explain why it's a favorite of pro cooks and bakers alike.
Truly, this apron will make you feel so cute, you'll be humming and skipping around the kitchen as you take a tray of freshly baked cupcakes from the oven and give the sauce bubbling away on the stove a quick stir. Plus, it has pockets!
Promising review: "I was hesitant to make the purchase because of the price point, but after doing TONS of research, I made the call to buy my dream apron and I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. I wear it every day and it makes me feel present when I make dinner. Never thought that an apron would be a life altering purchase, but it seriously has been." —Remy P.
Get it from Hedley & Bennett for $95 (available in one unisex size).
25. A beautiful emerald green 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 the 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.
26. A set of five honeycomb-style hexagon shelves so you can eliminate clutter AND have serious bragging rights about your pretty wall. Use them to display small accessories, photos, and even plants — collecting tchotchkes isn't hoarding if there's a place to put them, right?
303 Woods is a Shreveport, Louisiana-based, couple-owned small business that makes a variety of custom-built furnishings and home decor pieces.
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
27. A wooden cutting board that's just so stunning, merely looking at it will make you dread chopping vegetables a whole lot less.
And not only that, it'll also help preserve your knife's sharpness much better than that old plastic one in your drawer, so you might actually save some money in the long run. Plus, it comes with a container of wax you can apply to it to keep it from drying out.
Promising review: "A must-have cutting board for any kitchen! Looks great on the countertop, easy to cut on, works as a beautiful charcuterie display, and best of all, a breeze to clean. I was very impressed with the craftsmanship! This would be a great housewarming or holiday gift!" —es.wooster
Promising review: "JUST BUY IT. This is beautiful! And beautifully packaged. I am so pleased I went with this board. Totally worth the price." —Hayley Nail
Get it from Amazon for $87.95+ (available in four sizes).
28. A modern acrylic step stool, because if you're short like me, you could probably use a little boost from time to time. Step stools are just a way of life for us ground-dwellers, so make sure you love the look of yours (and this one will fit in with any aesthetic seamlessly).
It's got a weight capacity of 275 pounds and has water and slip-resistant vinyl strips on top.

29. An expensive-looking wastebasket that'll make you feel like you found the golden ticket of trash receptacles. Your garbage will feel so pampered!
Promising review: "Beautiful and classy (for a trash bin). Wouldn't want to bang it around, throw heavy trash in there, or use it as a heavily-used bin. I use it in my powder room, and it's perfect." —Virtual Andrew
Get it from Amazon for $29.90 (available in two designs).
30. 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 can be composted 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.

It also makes an A+ makeup holder.
Promising review: "This little product is such a cute addition to your office, room, studio, etc. I like the simplicity and it looks so clean, it really adds some organization to my desk. I also really like the fact that you can detach the bottom portion and use it separately, so it's very versatile." —Brenda Gonzalez
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors).
33. And finally, a seriously sexy wine-chilling bucket that'll add some glam to your table while keeping your prized bottles crisp and cool for up to two hours.
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 $29.99+ (available in stainless steel or copper finishes).
