    1. An aesthetically pleasing flexible power strip that makes the stressful task of charging multiple devices in a cramped corner at the same time feel like a neat little puzzle! Since it bends, you can reconfigure it however would fit your space best, and the outlets have enough room between them that your bulky laptop charger won't hog the entire thing.

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, so I ordered one. I absolutely love it. Everyone needs one in their life." —Dani Jo Stengsar

    Another promising review: "I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" —Pond P. 

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in four colors). 

    2. A cushy throw blanket reviewers on Amazon *and* TikTok think is just the most snuggle-worthy couch accessory — and the checkered pattern is so very on-trend. Cold toes, be gone!

    reviewer with the black and white checkered blanket over their legs

    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

    Another promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and had to have it! It's so very soft and comforting...love it!" —daylilly

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and 13 styles).

    Amazon

    These towels can absorb up to 15 times their own weight, are compostable, and each one can replace over a DOZEN paper towel rolls!

    Promising review: "I was surprised by how handy these dishcloths are...I wasn't sure what to expect. I had never even heard of Swedish dishcloths. So far, I am loving using them! The best way I can describe them is a cross between a dishcloth and a sponge. I throw them in the dishwasher at the end of the day, as it says you can do, and then hang them to dry. They make washing dishes seem effortless, plus they have such cute designs to brighten your day! I will order more for sure! Maybe even as gifts!" —jeannie

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in 30 prints).

    4. And an aesthetically pleasing reusable sponge, which will make scrubbing your crusty cookware a lot more pleasant than using the smelly and gross disposable one currently wasting away on your counter!

    They're made by Porter Lee's, a woman-owned small biz based in Portland, Oregon, that specializes in the ~cutest~ reusable home goods.

    Promising review: "I love these sponges! They last forever and wash up super well. I just throw them in the washer with a load of towels. They are bright and cheery, too." —Vicky

    Another promising review: "Love these sponges! I've only used them a couple of times, but so far so good. I washed and dried them first, and they completely held their shape and did not shrink for me! I think these will be a new favorite — I always hate tossing those disposable sponges and constantly having to buy more!" —Katie

    Get it from Porter Lee's on Etsy for $9 (available in four terry cloth backing colors, and in several multipacks).

    5. A very pretty, minimalist bedside carafe set to keep on your nightstand so you can stop waking your S.O. up every night as you sneak about in search of water!

    The cup stacked over the lid of the carafe

    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. 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 $10.99 (available in five colors).

    7. Or an ingenious candle warmer lamp, which will let you enjoy everything you love about candles (delicious scent, cozy glow) in a super safe and fire-free way. Just stick your favorite candle under the "shade," turn the lamp on, and its heat will melt your candle just like a flame would. If you saw the "we never use the big light" TikTok and went, "THAT'S ME!", then you'll want one of these in every room.

    It includes a halogen warming bulb, and even has a dimmer so you can adjust it to your desired brightness level.

    Promising review: "This is perfect! It’s beautiful and super sparkly! One thing I didn’t know is that it’s dimmable! So you can have a really low ambience or super bright light! It’s absolutely perfect!" —Heather Marie

    Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in clear or gold). 

    8. A swoon-worthy set of rainbow wineglasses to add some gorgeous, unexpected color to your table. Be prepared for endless compliments from all of your dinner party guests.

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $69.95 (available in three styles). 

    9. A dazzling disco ball planter that'll hold your succulent while reflecting the prettiest shimmers of light onto your wall when the sun hits it. Disco decor is all over TikTok rn, and if you wanna channel some of those Studio 54 vibes, having this little gem in your home is a great start.

    a gif of the disco ball planter twirling and shimmering

    Promising review: "This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches, like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles, and that there are different ways to display it — it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope. Every day my whole living room becomes a party :) Cannot recommend enough." —Phil

    Get it from Amazon for $29.97.

    10. A beautiful 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 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).

    11. 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). 

    12. A sleek mug warmer so you won't have to keep getting up from your desk and walking to the microwave every time your coffee goes from hot to lukewarm. You deserve only cozy hot bevs while you work!

    reviewer photo of a mug on the pink mug warmer
    reviewer photo of a mug on the green mug warmer

    It has three temperature settings and automatic shut-off after four hours. 

    Promising review: "This is great if you’re working from home and always drinking hot coffee! Love the blush pink color and it seems to fit most mugs. Also very secure when you put it on a desk. Warms up quickly and effectively. Small enough to take with you in your bag and use it at work." —Ruya Kirac

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in five colors). 

    13. A set of absorbent coaters that'll keep your antique wooden coffee table safe from unsightly water marks and condensation damage. Yes, you can keep your seltzer obsession going without destroying your furniture! The terrazzo pattern is really cute, too.

    Promising review: "Bought these because my old coasters left puddles of water from the condensation on drinks. These really work and absorb everything! Very pleased. And they are so cute and look good on both wood and white marble countertops! Love that there are two slightly different designs in a pack." —Liza P

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in more designs/styles) — don't forget to apply the coupon to save $2!

    14. A lotus-shaped cotton swab holder so pretty, you might even look forward to scraping away earwax and removing your eye makeup! And now you won't have a bulky box taking up your b-room counter space. 

    It's great for holding toothpicks, too!

    Promising review: "I purchased one for myself and one for my mom, and we both love them! My cotton swabs have never looked cuter on my sink vanity :) There are three layers of 'petals' that can be removed to allow for a bigger hole for whatever you wish to put inside. Very satisfied with my purchase and would purchase again. Great idea for a super cute gift!" —Jennifer M. Morgan

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors).

    15. 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).

    16. 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).

    17. 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). 

    18. A snazzy gold stapler, because even the most mundane tasks are worthy of a little elevation, and it'll make your desk look like it stepped right out of your TikTok FYP.

    It staples up to 20 sheets at a time!

    Promising review: "I love love love this stapler!!! Besides the fact that it's beautiful, it's extremely easy to use. I have arthritis and other staplers make my hands hurt because you have to press down hard. I'm amazed by how lightly it staples through several sheets of paper at one time. I had ordered another one in red and these staplers don't disappoint. Highly recommend!" —phyllis

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84 (also available in red). 

    19. 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.

    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 10 colors). 

    20. A snazzy rolling bar cart for displaying your bottles and barware rather than letting them collect dust in some random cabinet like they currently are. And it looks so fancy!

    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). 

    21. A sleek oil dispenser with — get this — a neat little measuring pump so you don't have to dig up your measuring spoons whenever you're following a recipe. And now no one will know when you've bought the cheaper stuff, since it'll be concealed in this pretty vessel!

    gif of reviewer pressing a button on the oil dispenser to measure the oil
    reviewer photo of the oil dispenser and mister on a kitchen counter

    To use, just hold the button until the oil in the measuring cup reaches the amount you need. Plus, it comes with an olive oil mister that'll help you get light, even coverage on your pans. 

    Promising review: "This product is easy to use and is the perfect addition to any kitchen! I love how easily I can measure out olive oil and how smoothly it comes out of the bottle. It is great for cooking or for drizzling over salads! Not only is it easy to use, but it also looks nice in the kitchen. Unlike a plastic olive oil bottle, this dispenser is a beautiful addition to my counter top. Also, for anyone who is interested in measuring out their olive oil without needing to constantly pull out a tablespoon, this is the perfect dispenser for you! The spray bottle is also great for cooking! I love that I know exactly what comes out of the spray bottle, rather than a store-bought spray bottle with additives. 10/10 would recommend!" —Clotilde D.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.89.

    22. A lovely Canopy humidifier, because if you've been holding off on getting one of these essentials out of concern about a bulky, unattractive appliance ruining your home's ~vibe~, fear no more. This one's compact and comes in such gorgeous pastels and neutrals, you'll want it front and center. 

    hand touching the pink humidifier
    the beige humidifier on a side table

    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). 

    23. 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

    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). 

    24. 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?

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

    25. 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). 

    26. A solid bamboo storage bench that won't only hold your shoes, it'll give you a comfy place to sit down and put 'em on as well. Good luck choosing between those gorgeous color options. 😍

    Promising review: "This bench is soooo GORGEOUS! The product is well-packed and assembly was straightforward and simple. One person can easily put it together in no time. It can fit 3–4 pairs of regular shoes underneath. Seems like we got a good bench that's gonna last for a long time. So glad we go this bench for the front door, now we can easily change shoes without bending over and hurting our backs." —Leia

    Get it from Wayfair for $105.99+ (available in five colors). 

    27. 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.

    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 $14.44+ (available in 10 colors, as well as in a set with a bath towel).

    28. 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).

    Amazon

    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 five colors).

    29. An adorable magnetic cloud key holder so you'll never find yourself rushing out the door and then going, Shoot, where did I leave my keys?! ever again. Now they'll have a dedicated spot, and one that'll make you smile, too!

    gif of someone sticking keys to the magnetic cloud key holder, which is mounted onto a blue wall
    reviewer photo of the cloud key holder holding various sets of keys

    Best of all, there's no installation required!

    Promising review: "I use this product every day and it is unequivocally the best purchase I’ve made thus far. I often lose misplace my keys around the house, but since using this I always know where to find them!" —Steven

    Another promising review: "So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter 

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98.

    30. A shabby-chic ruffled shower curtain for anyone who thinks their bathtub deserves the same level of linen treatment as their windows. Just make sure Scarlett O'Hara uses your other bathroom.

    It can be thrown in the washer and dryer, and reviewers recommend drying it before hanging it up to get rid of wrinkles. And don't forget a liner!

    Promising review: "Beautiful and perfect for my farmhouse style bathroom! It was wrinkled when I got it, but I put it in the dryer for about five minutes and the wrinkles came out. The curtain is so soft and well-made. The top of the curtain is made of a stronger material and the metal rings seem to be reinforced for more durability. I am extremely pleased with this shower curtain!" —Kim

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three colors). 

    31. A neat little rotating cube timer you can switch up just by turning it to one of the pre-set intervals! It'll look great on your desk, and now you'll actually find pleasure in carving out dedicated time to tackle the tasks on your to-do list.

    You can also use it as a clock — don't forget the AAA batteries!

    Promising review: "Makes staying on task fun. The delight of this timer is its ease of use. Just flip to a time, and it's going!" —Amazon Customer

    Another promising review: "I picked up this little timer on a whim after reading about the Pomodoro technique for the 100th time, and vowing that this time will be the time that I actually follow through instead of lapsing back into flitting from thing to thing, starting tons of projects, and never getting any done. I don't know what it is about the timer, but having it beside me has worked like a talisman. As long as it's in view I find it very easy to stay focused and stay on track. It's like a mini personal life coach that just stands there and taps her toes while you work." —chandra orr

    Get it from Amazon for $18.90 (available in five colors and with several different pre-set times). 

    32. A stylish ceramic space heater that'll keep your toes toasty, even when repairing your radiator is apparently not at the top of your landlord's priority list. 🙃

    It has three temperature settings (including a cool setting), heats up in a matter of seconds, and comes with an automatic shutoff 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 $26.99 (available in two colors). 

    33. And an adorable retro-style fan, because you shouldn't have to sacrifice aesthetics for refreshing airflow when your house feels hotter than a Palm Springs sauna. Just, so ~cool~ (sorry).

    The smallest size has two speeds, while the larger ones have three. 

    Promising review: "I'm not above admitting I am very often a 'form over function' type of girl...but this air circulator is where FORM and FUNCTION and VALUE all intersect equally. I find all three settings useful in different ways. The low is virtually silent, and I find it best for when I want moving air on a cooler day. The medium and high are both great for cooling a room, and also obviously for keeping air flowing. As long as you know what an air circulator is for (not for pointing AT you), there's no going wrong with this one! Even laying in my bed (in an entirely different direction from where it's pointed) I can feel the flowing fresh air...incredible! I will NEVER go without this thing." —Peahat

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes, as well as a pedestal design, and in green or white). 

    34. An equal parts ingenious and elegant acrylic pen holder and built-in calendar you'll ~clearly~ want on your desk if it could use some tidying up.

    35. 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.

    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).

    36. 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 to replace!

    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
