    Promising review: "Oh. My. Word. It’s a stump... it’s an ottoman... it’s storage! I bought two of these for our family play room. They came quickly in super reasonable packaging, and I was able to assemble them in about 10 seconds. They are shockingly sturdy, especially considering the price. The top is cushioned enough for a comfortable footrest. Since the walls are thin, this thing can hold a LOT of my daughters toys. It’s like Mary Poppins bag, y’all! The design is super cute and whimsical... absolutely perfect for a play room. Will it last fortever? Maybe not... but for $20 I feel prettty confident it will last a childhood! Absolutely recommend." —Carla J Alston

    3. And a whimsical memory foam throw pillow designed to look like just like real wood that basically screams, "We're posh and prefer ~glamping~ indoors."

He plays with this for hours, and it's great for those rainy days when you can't get to the park!" —Stephanie Scott

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    9. An ABC rug to make any room look like it belongs in a Pottery Barn catalog without spending nearly $200. Who knew teaching the alphabet could look très chic?

    Promising review: "I’ve been wanting this rug from the brand name for over a year now but I couldn’t justify spending $200 on a child’s rug. I was so happy I found this one, it looks exactly the same for less than half the price! I was even more surprised when it came, it’s incredibly soft and fluffy. I didn’t even have to put a rug pad under it because it is so plush. I got the pink and white, which is a beautiful muted blush color and the white lettering stands out perfectly. I am very happy with this purchase. I have not washed It yet, but from the other reviews it seems pretty straightforward. I will probably have to hang dry just out of fear of ruining it. Overall, great purchase and I will definitely recommend this next time somebody wants to buy that designer rug." —Paige

    10. Or a plush round shag rug with 13,000 5-star reviews (!!!) that gives off luxe vibes at a fraction of the cost *and* offers a cozy backdrop for photoshoots with your babies.

    11. Glow-in-the-dark dinosaur decals to make a blah room suddenly feel like you're on the awe-inspiring sets of Jurassic World IRL. Reviewers say these not only glow beautifully in the dark, but are also vibrant during the day.

    Promising review: "We love the pink unicorn. We managed to fit 30+ medium sized stuffies and we still have room for more. It’s pretty comfortable but heavy when full. I do wish there were two handles instead of one, on the sides of it for easier and supportive lifting. Material itself is very soft and thick. I would recommend this to all the parents out there who are stressing over stuffed animal storage. I will be ordering more for birthday and Christmas gifts because this is a great product.."—Flautas

We haven’t installed the rope yet but plan to do so soon. The climbing holds are very durable and seem pretty sturdy. They are also a good size, making it easy for my girls to hold on to. I would definitely recommend this to as it’s a lot of fun!" —KKL—L&L’s Little Shop of Goodies- Living Life RV Rentals

    Promising review: "I brought this girl tent for my best friend’s little girl who is 4 years old. When we set up she was super excited, jumping, laughing, and running all around the tent. I felt it was really worth the money. The product is well made, it is sturdy and good quality, the LED lights are bright. The lights part is what I like the most of this product, it gives the tent a fairy tale feeling, the little girl definitely felt like a princess. Super easy to assemble, all the parts match what the seller list on the website, so you sure know what you will get in the box before buying the tent.

    Promising review: "I got this for my 8-year-old who loves it. Not only is it an awesome tool to teach geography and to learn about different continents and countries, but this one has an additional benefit of showcasing different constellations and doubles as a night light! What a great idea to add that. It comes with a little booklet about the constellations. It is very sturdy, the bottom part is fairly heavy, way sturdier that I expected. I thought my daughter was too old for nightlights and got rid of her old night light a while back, but I noticed that since she has this, she actually uses it every night. Great product all around." —Addicted to golden berries
