We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. For starters, a sweet little welcome mat that'll elicit smiles from everyone as they walk up to your door. First impressions are important!
2. And a felt letter board so you can share customized messages with friends and loved ones upon their arrival. Your guests will feel so cared for before they've even stepped foot inside!
It's a complete set that comes with 300 letters and symbols!
Felt Like Sharing is a family-owned small biz making the *cutest* keepsakes, like chalkboard milestone signs and baby handprint frames.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh. It truly doesn’t get any cuter when it comes to decor. From the moment I opened the package I was enchanted with this product. It takes time and some small scrapbook scissors to cut all the letters apart, but worth the time so they don’t have the little nubs on them. Adorable! I debated giving this as a Christmas gift, but it’s so cute I’ve decided to keep it and get another one. I can’t wait to decorate with it! So many possibilities. Thank you!" —SRiteNow
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four sizes and 23 colors).
3. A cushy throw blanket reviewers on Amazon *and* TikTok think is just the most snuggle-worthy accessory. It's the perfect comfy layer to offer your guests as you gossip on the couch.
Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I've washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and 13 styles).
4. Or a super cozy faux fur weighted blanket that'll make them feel like they're being engulfed in a big, warm bear hug. Is there anything more comforting?
Based in Oceanside, New York, Comma is a small home goods business focused on using eco-friendly materials whenever possible (for instance, this blanket is made of 100% polyester from recycled plastic bottles). They also donate 10% of their sales to organizations dedicated to helping the homeless.
Promising review: "This blanket is a game changer. I was extremely suspicious of weighted blankets. I tried one several years ago and really didn’t like it. This blanket has completely changed my mind. It’s extremely high quality, evenly weighted, and is so cozy. The faux fur is very soft and my cats love snuggling in it with me. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially with severe anxiety like mine. I will be ordering another!" —Alaina
Get it from Comma Home for $135+ (originally $169+; available in two weights and in brown or gray).
5. A TikTok-famous bedside carafe set your guests will think is *the* most thoughtful gesture when they see it on their nightstand. Now, they won't feel self-conscious about tip-toeing around at night in search of water!
Promising review: "I saw this carafe in a BuzzFeed article. This is definitely something I needed that I didn’t know that I needed. I live in a two story house with the kitchen on the opposite end which makes me groggily navigate the stairs at night. I usually have a water bottle on my nightstand but decided I could upgrade. This carafe is a little smaller than I’d like but for the price, it’s really perfect and no-frills. It’s simple but functional. I guess you could use this for mouthwash too but it’s perfect for bedside water. I love that the cup covers the top when not in use so that the water stays clean. I would not hesitate to purchase this item again." —TheJadeMermaid
Get it from Amazon for $12.89.
6. And a highly-rated portable fridge that'll blow their minds when they see their room has its very own mini bar! Fill it with a variety of drinks and goodies, and they'll never forget how you helped make their Kevin McAllister-at-the-Plaza dreams from childhood a reality.
This little thing is also great for dorm rooms, small apartments, and offices, and for storing things like beauty products and breast milk. It can fit six 12-ounce cans, and even has a heating mode!
Promising review: “Perfection! I bought this to put in the guest room. This way, they can have cool beverages and not have to leave the comfort of the room. It is super compact, holds six mini-sized water bottles (flat and fizzy), and no noise. LOVE IT!!!" —MS
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in five colors).
7. Some R&R-inducing eucalyptus and lavender shower pouches you can place in their b-room as a little gift for their nose. Not only are they therapeutic sinus openers, they'll also fill the room with a ~heavenly~ scent.
Eucalyptus Blooms is a small biz based in Charlotte, North Carolina, making home and bath products using fresh eucalyptus and lavender.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these! Makes the bathroom and even hallway smell good way after the shower. My husband even commented to me about how much he likes 'this little bag thingy,' LOL." —Susan Cooper
Get a three-pack from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $12.79 (originally $15.99; also available in a pack of five).
8. And a SipCaddy wine and beer holder that'll make their bath feel even more luxurious. Warning: They won't wanna get out of the tub until their fingers look like literal prunes.
It's also great for anyone who enjoys a good "shower beer" every now and then!
Promising review: "Such a simple idea, how is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect, I've tugged on it and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wineglasses, too. A truly perfect product. This piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven
Get it from Amazon for $12.80+ (available in six styles).
9. Plus, a bath overflow drain cover so they can enjoy a long soak with an extra few inches of water! Sometimes, the smallest things make the biggest impact.
Don't worry, it has a little opening at the top to keep the water from literally spilling out of the tub!
Promising review: "I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra three inches of water and it is great." —Hyacinthe Snyder
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors).
10. A deluxe charcuterie board set, because if there's one thing that'll make a lasting impression, it's keeping guests satiated with loads of snacks as you catch up with each other. Don't skimp on the cheese!
It comes with an extra round tray, two slate labels (with chalk), two ceramic bowls for dipping sauces, and four slicing and serving utensils.
Promising review: "Bought the product as a present for my partner for the holidays. The charcuterie cheese board itself is great, and the ability to store the cheese knives was an excellent addition for transportation and to 'wow' people at parties. I was able to host twice with the device, and it often was able to hold around six to eight cheeses and cracker combinations reasonably well without feeling like the device is crowded. I also like how easy it was to clean, since the drawer used to store the knives can be easily removed. Finally, I enjoyed all the additional items that came with this set." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.09 — don't forget to apply the coupon to save $10!
11. And a large beverage dispenser and stand so everyone can help themselves to iced tea or punch as they please without feeling awkward about asking for a drink. It even comes with a mini chalkboard to let everyone know what's on tap!
Some reviewers also use it for holding laundry detergent!
Promising review: "I was specifically looking for a metal spigot jar since all the plastic ones out there are cheaply made, or deteriorate or break over time. This is a nice metal spigot, and does not leak when in the off position. Use the plastic wrench provided to tighten per instructions. I will take it apart when not in use so the silicone rings don't wear out. Nice thick glass jar, and it even comes with chalk to write on the sign. I used a Sharpie wipe-off pen instead, which worked great. Easy to clean, and it's a nice sturdy stand for the jar. Love this product, it was exactly what I was looking for." —Allig8r
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (also available without a stand, in two sizes, and in a double-dispenser style).
12. A set of "Be Our Guest" hand towels, because even your bathroom should feel welcoming. Just remind your visitors the West Wing is forbidden (jk).
13. And a heated toilet seat that brings new meaning to the phrase "sitting in the ~lap~ of luxury." Those porcelain seats can get really cold, especially at night, but this will warm their buns right up! The fact that it has a built-in LED night light will help them see where they're going, too.
There are three heat settings to choose from! Aside from a 5/8-inch wrench, it comes with everything you need to set it up, and many reviewers say it's a cinch to install.
Promising review: "I don't know why I waited so long to buy one of these. My place gets pretty chilly in the winter and I hated sitting on what felt like an ice block. Every time I sit on this thing I'm so happy I bought it. Every. Time. Super easy to install and great value for the price. Do it and make your bum happy!" —PG
Get it from Amazon for $131.21 (available in elongated and rounded styles).
14. Plus, an aesthetically pleasing plant-derived toilet spray your guests will feel eternally grateful for when they realize they'll be spending, well, more time in your b-room than they'd thought. 😬
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).
15. A set of hotel-quality cooling gel pillows, because even if your guests can't sleep in their own bed, they can still enjoy a 5-star slumber experience in yours! These fluffy, breathable pillows ensure both sides are the ~cool side~ to help prevent uncomfortable night sweats.
These have 150K+ 5-star ratings (!) and are fully machine-washable.
Promising review: "After looking for pillows everywhere in stores and not being satisfied, I decided to trust a TikTok that I saw featuring these pillows and checked out the reviews here and saw the hype. Decided to trust this hype and order two of my own, and they are SERIOUSLY THE BEST PILLOWS EVER! Trust the reviews. Took two minutes to fluff up to use, and both my fiancé and I are having the best sleeps now." —Ellen
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in queen and king sizes) — don't forget to apply the coupon to save 10%!
16. And an ultra-plush faux fur duvet set with a velvety underside that'll help them slumber like royalty. Its shaggy aesthetic will make the bed look SO inviting!
The twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two. If you need one, here's a highly rated duvet insert!
Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing. Super soft, and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK
Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 29 colors).
17. A luxurious towel warmer to pamper them with a tingly spa experience right in your b-room. Not only will they ask you where you got it, they'll immediately add it to their own shopping cart the second you send them the link. "Room temp" towels just won't cut it after they try this baby.
Promising review: "Luxury! I never knew I needed this, now I won't go back. This does an awesome job of keeping up to two bath sheet-sized towels warm. Several time settings. This is awesome to get out of the shower and have. I won’t go back to not having heated towels — it’s amazing!" —Anne Bowman
Get it from Amazon for $148.18+ (available in three colors).
18. And a gorgeous set of Brooklinen bath towels, which aren't called "super-plush" for nothing! Their thick, 100% Turkish cotton fabric is so cozy, your guests will delay putting on their clothes as long as they can.
Promising review: "These are the most luxurious towels I have owned. I have a heated towels bar, and wrapping myself up in one of these towels after a shower in the winter is like being engulfed in a warm blanket. Now, when I use one of my old regular towels, it is so disappointing." —Dorothy M.
Another promising review: "These super-plush bath towels are amazingly soft and great for your special guests! I love reaching for these towels in the winter and being wrapped up in them. These towels are the ultimate spa experience!" —Alice A.
Get a set of two from Brooklinen for $47.40+ (available in 14 styles).
19. Plus, a nonslip shaggy bath mat to give their wet feet something soft and cushy to land on after their shower. Plus, its super absorbent material will help their feet dry faster!
Promising review: "This is amazing! It is so comfy! Right now it is really cold for us and stepping out of the shower is a lot easier with this mat. It feels wonderful and very well made. We got the gray one that matches our bathroom and will be purchasing a white one for our other bathroom." —AriTopia
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
20. A set of flameless flickering candles for setting a warm, inviting tone. Overhead lights are often too harsh and abrasive, but these will make visitors feel relaxed and right at home. And they'll stay lit until you turn 'em off!
Promising review: "I bought the gold glass candle set. It's almost iridescent gold and looks very elegant. The flame actually moves back and forth. I have mine set to come on in the evening and go off after four hours. The remote allows you to control the brightness of the candle, set a timer for auto on and off, and you can control how bright you want the actual candle inside the glass. I love them and plan to buy the gray glass set for my bedroom. Buy them, you will love them!" —Tammy B.
Get a set of three from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five styles).
21. And a string of fairy lights with 80K+ 5-star ratings that are all like, "Welcome to my cozy haven!" Can you think of anything more comforting than being surrounded by these twinkly beauties?
These lights come with eight settings, from flashing to slow fade. According to reviewers, the cord is on the shorter side, so you should consider adding an extension cord to your cart if you don't have one! And if you'd like to replicate the softer glow of the second photo, here are some sheer curtains to help diffuse the light.
Promising review: "I love these lights! The settings are so much fun and add excitement to a room when you have guests. The light is so warm and makes it feel so cozy inside! I love to turn off all of the other lights in my apartment and just have these lights going when I am watching a movie. It creates a great warm glow but isn't too bright to wash out the movie. They are also a fun background for pictures!" —J_Thill
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles and seven colors).
22. A set of TikTok-beloved extra soft cooling bed sheets made with a lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric for keeping those dreaded night sweats at bay.
Sets come with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases (with only one pillowcase included in the twin size).
Promising review: "These are the real deal!! I found them from a TikTok and my husband actually said after the first night, 'Let’s just replace all of our sheets with these, they’re so comfortable!' It’s a beautiful blue and white pattern. They wash well and breathe at night — I am always hot but these stayed cool. Definitely buying more!" —Julia Monroe
Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in sizes twin—California king and 41 colors).
23. And when it's drafty, a set of cozy, 100% cotton flannel sheets that'll emulate sleeping in a warm cocoon. Your houseguests will undoubtedly hit "snooze" a second time in the morning.
This set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases.
Promising review: "Warm, comfortable, heaven. Bought these for our king-sized bed. We have a firm mattress topped with a 3-inch pillow top, and these sheets fit it perfectly! I love the fit. They wash up nicely and feel wonderful on a cold winter night. I'm going to buy more for the guest room. I'm certain our guests will enjoy them as much as we have. Also, the price was amazing for the quality." —Kindle Customer
Get them from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes twin–split California king and 16 colors).
24. A sunrise alarm clock to help anyone who spends the night wake up on the right side of the bed. With this, they'll feel like they're waking up as the sun rises — a much more pleasant experience than being interrupted from their sleep by the jarring sound of their phone alarm!
It's also an FM radio and has seven soothing alarm sounds to choose from.
Promising review: "I bought this to combat the darkness in the morning, and I wanted something that didn’t have an aggressive alarm. I’ve been using this for a week and have been pleasantly surprised! It allows you to set two alarms — so you can have one for weekends and one for weekdays OR you can set one for yourself and one for your partner. The clock begins to gradually lighten up 10 minutes before your alarm and reaches the ultimate brightness when it’s time for your alarm to go off. I also feel better when I wake up." —Teal Lover
Get it from Amazon for $32.88+ (available in two styles).
25. And a compact LectroFan white noise machine so overnight guests can get a restful night's sleep, even while your next-door neighbor's rager is still going strong at 3 a.m. 😳
This is the exact machine I use to help me fall asleep each and every night, and it's an absolute game changer. When I first moved to my current house, I quickly realized I'd been ~blessed~ with neighbors who think it's perfectly acceptable to throw outdoor parties at midnight on a Tuesday, and I knew I'd need something to drown out their literal shrieking in order to get any sleep. Enter: my beloved LectroFan, which I'll be the first to admit is nothing fancy, but 100% gets the job done. It comes with 20 nonlooping sounds, and you can let it go all night or set it for an hour (I'm of the "all night" persuasion and it usually has me conking out like a baby). I'm not the most savvy when it comes to tech and gadgets so I appreciate the minimalist interface, and it's proven to be incredibly user-friendly, even for me. Plus, since it weighs just over a pound, it would be a great thing to pack on a trip juuust in case your hotel room neighbors like to rage at 3 a.m. so you're not laying in bed like 😳
Promising review: "I live on an extremely busy city street, and I have sensitivity to constant, random noises. This little slice of heaven got delivered less than an hour ago, is set at brown noise volume 3, and I’m at peace. I truly am so glad I stumbled upon this device. Extremely easy to use, nice to look at, tiny but plenty of volume. Cheers to finally sleeping again!" —Cat
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in black or white, as well as in two other models for kids, and with two packaging options).
26. A pack of flossing toothbrushes, because what's the one thing we always forget to pack whenever we go away? Bingo. These have bristles that are 10 times thinner than the average toothbrush to get into all of those nooks and crannies, and your guests will be *very* relieved you had extras on hand.
Mouthwatchers is a small biz founded by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Their toothbrushes are made with silver-infused bristles to eliminate 99% of bacteria, and the dual-layered design helps the brush reach those deep areas where 95% of cavities form.
Promising review: "Let me preface this by saying, I hate flossing! I could never get through my entire mouth without setting off my gag reflex at least twice, and even then it never got fully cleaned. My gums are also extremely sensitive and bleed easily. To combat this, I have tried every toothbrush imaginable to get me a good clean with minimal bleeding; regular ones, electric, three-sided, 10,000 bristles — nearly everything besides a robot that will brush my teeth for me. I found these on BuzzFeed and immediately ordered them. I am so impressed with the way they clean, my teeth and gums feel so damn clean and my gums aren’t even swollen, or bleeding. It’s like being fresh from the dentist! These are certainly a toothbrush that I will purchase again and again!" —Katelyn
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $16.06+ (available in four colors and a variety pack).
27. An endlessly endearing hippo candy dish you should set out on your coffee table with a little sign that says, "Help Yourself!" Start making room on your shelf for your Host of the Year award.
It also makes a really fun planter!
Promising review: "Love, love, love this hippo. Bigger than I thought it would be, so even better! Fantastic detail and not at all a flimsy resin. Absolutely happy with this purchase and recommend for people who just want something cute and fun that makes you smile." —J.A.Belaire
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in five styles).
28. A highly rated portable Bluetooth speaker that'll fill your space with pro-sounding music to help set a lively, convivial tone (while drowning out the sound of your upstairs neighbors screaming). Only fun, friendly vibes here!
It's also waterproof, making it great for outdoor use as well!
Promising review: "I don’t write a lot of reviews. Normally, a product meets my expectations. And if it doesn’t, I send it back without complaining. But this speaker vastly exceeded my expectations and thought I should share. This tiny thing can boom sound like no other speaker of its size. I blasted the speaker full volume in a room downstairs. A few rooms and a flight of stairs away, I could still hear every lyric to the song I was playing. (You can tell I got a bit excited). It instantly connected to my phone via Bluetooth. It also seems sturdy enough that it can be knocked around a bit, which is helpful to me since I’d use it outside a lot. It’s the smallest portable speaker I’ve ever used, yet produces more sound without any distortion at high volumes. The quality of the sound at all levels is phenomenal. I’m excited to see what mileage I get out of it. But as far as I can tell, this speaker is the best one you can get for this amount of money. And I’d argue it’s worth more." —Connor
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in black or blue).
29. A luxurious electric heated mattress pad so they'll quite literally feel all warm and fuzzy as they tuck in for the night. The only downside? Getting out of bed in the morning will be even MORE impossible. Better plan on serving breakfast at 2 p.m.!
The cotton cover has 10 heat settings, with an adjustable auto-off timer between one and 12 hours. It's suitable for mattresses up to 15 inches in depth.
Promising review: "We live in Wisconsin where it gets very cold at night. We like to crack the bedroom windows open at night because we prefer a cold room to sleep in. But this makes getting in bed with freezing cold sheets brutal. Not anymore! This mattress pad is a game changer! Turning the mattress pad on before getting in bed makes all the difference in the world; no more freezing cold sheets. The dual controls are great since I like my side warmer than my husband does his side. The controls are easy to work and see in the dark. The mattress pad is soft and comfortable; you cannot feel the wires at all. It has nice deep pockets that fit on our mattress and memory foam pad very nicely. You will need two outlets to plug into in order for the separate controls to work. One year later…we still love this mattress pad!" —Linda Stranzl
Get it from Amazon for $63.96+ (available in sizes full–king).
30. Or, a cooling gel memory foam mattress topper that'll comfortably conform to the contours of their body as they drift off. They won't miss sleeping in their own bed after a night on this!
Promising review: "I am not being paid for this review, nor has the company ever offered a gift card for a 5-star review. This memory foam is simply awesome. I put it on the bed in the guest room because the mattress was way too firm and everyone who's slept on it has said it's the most comfortable bed they've ever slept in! They can't tell that there's a stiff old mattress underneath lol. There's no smell and I have absolutely no complaints. I'm actually writing this review because I came back to buy another one for my bed. Highly recommend!" —JM
Get a two-inch topper from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king, two thicknesses, and with or without a cover).
31. A mini donut maker, because can you imagine anything more thrilling than waking up in someone's home, heading into the kitchen, and being greeted by these freshly made delicacies first thing in the morning?! Not all of America runs on Dunkin' after all.
There's no frying involved, and the donuts take mere minutes to bake! There's also an auto shutoff feature to keep it from overheating, and it comes with a handy recipe book (including gluten-free and Paleo-friendly options). Oh, and you can use store-bought cake, brownie, and muffin mixes no problem!
Promising review: "I cannot say enough about the Dash Mini Donut Maker. It is so much fun to use and make donuts at home. Rather than going to the local chain donut restaurant, you can make your own specialty donuts at home. It is very easy to use and cleans up quickly. My children love to decorate the donuts after they are cooked. It's a fun family activity and the donuts taste great! Also, it comes with a neat design and stands out among my other boring looking kitchen cooking appliances. If you like donuts, this product is for you." —JoshH
Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in five styles, as well as in several bundles).
32. And a stuffed waffle maker that'll have them going, "Leggo my Nutella-filled breakfast creation!" as they devour their morning treat. Don't be surprised if they start showing up at your house around 9 a.m. on the daily even after their ~official~ stay is over.
Just pour in some batter, layer with your filling, pour on more batter, close, rotate, and voila!
Promising review: "This is much better than you could have imagined! I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" —Adirondackdarling
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
33. A cute and very convenient Wi-Fi sign with your home's network and password displayed so guests won't feel like they're a bother by asking you for the login info. And it's dry erase, in case you switch things up a lot!
For Heavener's Sake is a small biz based in Gable, SC, specializing in custom laser-cut decor and gifts.
Promising review: "So cute and a great addition to our guest room!" —Haley
Get it from For Heavener's Sake on Etsy for $12+ (available in two sizes).
34. A rolling bar cart that's equal parts decorative and functional. Mix up a cocktail to welcome your guests when they arrive, and then they'll be able to fix their own drinks at their leisure.
The cart's dimensions are 30"D x 17"W x 31"H.
Promising review: "Love this bar cart. Great price. Got a ton of compliments on it when I had guests over." —MMace2
Another promising review: "I spent days hunting for the perfect bar cart for my space! This one fit the bill, but I'm always hesitant about furniture on Amazon. This couldn't have worked out better. Came in perfect condition, is easy to assemble, looks gorgeous, and has been working well for weeks now!" —Musing Over Mugs
Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (also available with expert assembly for an additional cost).
35. And an assortment of Avec sparkling mixers, which are great for guests who aren't drinking alcohol, since they make delicious bevs in and of themselves. They can also be used for whipping up margs and palomas, and can we talk about the *gorgeous* packaging?
Avec is a Black woman-owned small business that crafts mixers made with 100% real ingredients, like fruit juices and natural botanicals. The sampler includes three of each of their five flavors: Yuzu & Lime, Grapefruit & Pomelo, Jalapeño & Blood Orange, Spiced Mango & Passionfruit, and Ginger.
Promising review: "Love the assortment of flavors (from sweet to subtle, and all the way to spicy)! It was possible for everyone at our get-together to come away with something they really enjoyed, and all with less than four grams of sugar? Simply amazing. Cans are gorgeous as well! Thanks, Avec, will definitely be back for more!" —Lucy B.
Get a pack of 15 assorted flavors from Avec for $45 (also available as a monthly subscription for a 10% discount).
36. A portable mini projector that's all like, "Wait a minute, you're gonna use the TV? Hold my beer" when it comes to hosting movie nights with friends. It has up to 170 inches of display (100 is recommended, but still!) and suits both indoor and outdoor viewing experiences.
Promising review: "This projector can't be beat, especially for the price. The setup was really easy. I have been using it with my Roku and purchased an HDMI/USB adapter so I can use it with my phone. The picture quality is fantastic. I originally planned to use external speakers but there is no need — the sound is great. We have had a lot of fun projecting movies onto the ceiling and outside against our garage. I am really impressed with this product and after seeing it, several of my family members plan to buy it, too. It's a great gift — I actually bought it for a gift exchange and ended up choosing it for myself!" —Joanna
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 — don't forget to apply the coupon to save 20%!
37. And an old-school Whirley-Pop popcorn popper, because let's face it, movie night isn't complete without a buttery, salty, crunchy snack. This baby holds six quarts of movie theater-quality popcorn and will have those kernels perfectly popped in just three minutes!
To use, just add 1/2 cup of kernels and a few tablespoons of oil to the Whirley-Pop, place it on a burner over medium-high heat, and start cranking until the pops are few and far between!
Promising review: "Worth every penny! This product does the job and does it quickly without any un-popped kernels. Easy to clean and does a good job mixing coconut oil with Flavocal popcorn seasoning resulting in popcorn just like in the movie theatre. Never going back to microwaved popcorn! This is my go-to for DIY popcorn. Make sure to use high-quality popcorn for best results! Highly recommend, and it makes for a great gift for those who love popcorn!" —DCL

Promising review: "I love this cake maker! It makes just the right size cake for our family of four. They’re not exactly like a cake fresh from the oven, but pretty darn close! My 12-year-old son loves to use it, so much so we make a cake on a weekly basis. Since each cake only requires a half a box of mix, we don’t have to store them for long. I think they taste much better than a mug cake and are almost as easy." —Clare

Promising review: "This cloud is super clever and cute. It’s very lightweight and can be hung virtually anywhere without damage. I was pleased to find that it uses a high quality LED light brand. I already had some other products from that brand and the app installed on my phone, which simplified controlling the cloud. The lighting options are plentiful and easy to use. The colors are bright (dimmable), beautiful, and vibrant. It is exactly as advertised. Shipping was quick and free. It arrived well-packed and undamaged with a thank you note and gift bow from the seller. Also included was a little repair kit if any of the wispy cloud material was damaged in transit. I appreciate the artistry and creativity of the person that made this truly one of a kind unique light. I’m definitely enjoying its beauty and uniqueness." —Kimberly

43. An eye-catching geometric shag rug that'll greet your guests' feet with ridiculous softness once they take off their shoes. Anticipate compliments galore from everyone who enters your home.
When I moved into my new house it took me FOREVER to get a living room rug because didn't want to settle for just any old thing. I also didn't want to pay the astoundingly high prices I was seeing for other rugs with similar geometric patterns, and when I found this beauty on Wayfair, I thought it was too good to be true. Sure, it looked pretty in the photos, but would it also be comfortable enough for me to run my feet through without feeling like I was walking on sandpaper? I'm here to tell you, the answer is a resounding YES! Not only does it give a warm yet modern feel to my living room, it also feels like an absolute dream on my feet. Plus, anyone I've ever had over has commented on how great it looks. If you're looking for something that'll bring you joy and make you want to give yourself a high-five for making such a spot-on purchase every time you look at it, I highly recommend buying this rug! P.S. I bought it in the rust color, but the white is lovely as well! I just don't trust myself not to destroy a white rug less than a week after it's been on my floor...

Promising review: "Love the linen scent! I’ve been trying to rid my home of other sprays/candles/products that have yucky chemicals.

The scents are so light and refreshing. Perfect! Thank you!!!" —Rachel May

Promising review: "Read reviews and took a shot. Just finished our bathroom redo and the shower experience is wonderful. For the price, this shower system provides the luxury and comfort.

Promising review: "So, I don't pretend to be an electrician. I use as much battery-operated stuff as I can get away with. Sometimes I suffer the consequences and have products that are less powerful or less reliable than their electrical counterparts. These little lights, however, work great. They were super easy to install just where I wanted them, they press on so I don't have to get the remote every time I need some light, and they all (multiple packages' worth) come on with one press of the button on the remote." —DesmoProfundis

Promising review: "I must first give a special shoutout to Heidi, who offered top-tier customer service when purchasing this bed frame. She was responsive, clear, and friendly with every inquiry I made. She raised the bar in how businesses should be building and maintaining relationships with customers. As for the frame, I love it. If you like minimal high design, it does not disappoint. I ordered mine in 'Moon' and it looks exactly how I anticipated. The frame slips over your foundation which is easy breezy. Couldn't have taken more than five minutes to get on. Voilà! Now that I'm familiar with the quality of pieces, I am excited to purchase the bolster pillow next. Would highly recommend SoftFrame." —Natalie

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.

Promising review: "Retired florist here...These roses have a velvet finish, and for the money they are amazing. I gave a few to a cashier at the grocery store, and she jumped up and down.
