1. Some decorative bow drawer pulls that sure beat the dinged up knobs that came on your childhood dresser/builder-grade kitchen cabinets. If my mom has taught me anything, it's to press pause on throwing out old furniture and see what new hardware can do instead!
PS: It's always a good idea to measure your existing hardware before you go ordering new ones because they aren't one size fits all! These ones are 3 inches long.
Promising review: "I got these for my daughter's nursery. They fit fantastic and look gorgeous! Super easy to install. Just needed a screwdriver to tighten them, and the rest is easy to screw on!" —Gabby
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.99.
2. A funky floor-length mirror sure to elevate every selfie you take. Just be ready with the Amazon link 'cause friends will be asking for it...
Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this mirror. I have seen similar mirrors going for $300 to $1,000. I was shocked at the price tag and bought it immediately. The packaging was great, and shipping was very fast. I have had this for less than a week, and every person that has come to my place has complimented it 😍" —Delaney
Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in five colors).
3. A "home is where my cat is" ruffled bolster pillow if you're loud 📣 and proud 😊 about your love for cats.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $49 (available in one other design).
4. A dimmable sad duck night-light that's basically a physical manifestation of you when your alarm goes off every morning.
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
5. A freakin' cherry toilet brush certain to brighten up your bathroom and your mood when you inevitably have to clean it...
Promising review: "It's beautiful! 😍 I'm so happy. I used it as soon as I got it open, and it worked like a dream. It is very sturdy, and I love the little crook at the end of the stem/handle. It's so cute. 🥰 I'm so glad I bought this for my bathroom. It really adds an adorable touch to my bathroom decor, and it had a purpose, so it's even better!! A+++ 🍒" —BumbleBee
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors).
6. A dino nugget pillow sure to resonate with anyone who could *literally* live off of chicken nuggies and never get sick of them.
Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true! It's the perfect cuddle companion for all the paleontologists-in-training or anyone with an insatiable appetite for comfort. Just be careful not to accidentally take a bite while you're napping, because it looks deliciously deceiving!" —LadyTee
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four styles, two sizes, and in multipacks).
7. A set of skateboard shelves you can totally keep up year-round, but they feel *especially* fit for spring. Choose between new or previously loved boards and even specify the exact colors you'd like if you're looking to stick to a certain palette.
Skate or Design is a Philly-based shop that recycles broken skateboards by making them into street art-inspired furniture, accessories, and gifts.
Promising review: "This skateboard shelf brings a new vigor and life to my room! Not only is this what I expected, but Jason was super responsive to my messages and seems to actually care for his customers. 10/10, highly recommended and definitely looking to buy more in the near future!" —eliu0247
Get the two-piece set from Skate or Design for $275+ (available in four color combinations and with used or new boards).
8. A snail hand soap dispenser if you're sick of regular ol' bottles of Dial but you aren't the ~aesthetic~ type who's into refillable amber glasses, either.
Promising review: "In the week or so I've had this thing it has brought me so much joy. I'm always so excited for my snail to vomit on my dish scrubber, or my hand. It's surprising how such a simple soap dispenser has changed my whole family's life for the better. This was once a house where dishes were a hated chore. Now, it's a blood bath to get anywhere near the legendary 🐌." —Zoe Scoville
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors).
9. A decorative cat towel that'll silently watch you microwave your day-old pizza or scroll TikTok on the toilet.
Promising review: "I did not buy this to actually use as a towel. To me it doesn’t seem like it would be good at serving this purpose as the material is not very absorbent, however it is great for decoration purposes. It is really, really adorable! I love how there’s little snap buttons to keep it in place. I highly recommend this as a decorative gift for the cat lover in your life or for yourself if you love kitties! Great purchase!" —Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $16.78 (available in 29 designs).
10. An adorable cow print ottoman with two horns and four widdle legs. While it'd make a great nursery piece, I think I'd want it in the living room so if my cat jumped up it'd look like she was entering her first rodeo.
Promising review: "I smiled when I saw this online and thought 'Why not?!' Turns out it is a really useful little ottoman and extremely comfortable. I love the touch of whimsy it brings to my living room." —Pamela M-L
Get it from Amazon for $78.
11. A sweet little pair of teddy bear candleholders if your apartment has a strict "no pets" policy, so you have to make do with inanimate animal-inspired objects.
Get the pair from Urban Outfitters for $35.
12. A giant Lego storage drawer you can use to house whatever knickknacks have taken over every surface in your home. Heck, you can even stack a bunch of them to build your own dresser, desk, or coffee table!
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this storage container! My son got a 1,500-piece Lego set for Christmas and this fits all of the pieces nicely! Definitely recommend." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
13. A serpentine table lamp so dashing, your friend may try to snatch it on their way out the door. Luckily, it'd be hard to hide in a canvas tote.
14. An ultra-unique vinyl stand made from a refurbished newspaper box. That way, you can take your records out of the cardboard box they've called home for the last year.
Impact Racks is a small biz that refurbishes and repurposes used newspaper boxes. They're actually the supplier of said boxes (to publications like The New York Post, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today) so when one is ready to be retired, they swoop in and transform it into a record stand! Not only do they *look* incredibly cool, but each one sold keeps around 85 pounds of metal out of the landfill!
Promising review: "Literally the best customer service ever!! I absolutely love my box. It’s so unique and creative and perfect for my vinyl collection and stand. It’s my favorite piece of furniture. But really I cannot say enough great things about Jon and how much he cares about his products and customers. Thank you so much!! I highly recommend him and don’t think twice about purchasing from him." —moberg135
Get it from Impact Racks on Etsy for $399 (available in 27 styles so you can pick your favorite publication).
15. A peel-and-stick cat wallpaper if having a frame with a photo of your cat on your desk simply isn't enough to show how much you freaking LOVE felines.
Promising review: "Really impressed with this wallpaper. It is a great thickness, easy to apply, and is flexible enough to work over walls with some texture. My first panel was hard to line up but once I got the hang of things it was a super quick and easy project that’s making a large impact in my space. I appreciate that even though the panels really stick once you smooth things over, it’s easy to reposition up until that point to you can make sure you’re lined up and straight. Really in love with how this turned out and I definitely recommend this for beginners or anyone looking to add some cuteness to their life. :)" —AJ
Get it from Amazon for $19.57.
16. A Froot Loops-inspired candle that will both delight and confuse all who see it. Since the soy candle comes in a real cereal bowl with a real spoon, it's quite the conversation starter.
Jennifer Cox's Nashville, TN-based Candlelit Desserts sells exactly what you think — candle versions of scrumptious treats like milk and cookies, key lime pie, and loaves of apple cinnamon bread.
Promising review: "Super Cute! The candle smells exactly like Froot Loops! Looks super realistic! 15/10 Would definitely recommend! Absolutely love! ❤️" —Keira
Get it from Candlelit Desserts for $18.99.
17. A sweet lil' stoneware planter with anthropomorphic features sure to cheer you up every time you lay eyes on it. Some people have dogs, some people have cats, but I bet no one else you know has this exuberant lil' guy/gal.
Ceramic Sense is a one-woman pottery studio in Burlington, Ontario run by Abby Ozaltug. All of her pieces are unique and heirloom quality.
Promising review: "Could not be more in love with this piece. It sits on my living room coffee table and makes me smile every time I see it. Amazing quality and so unique!!" —Ashelen Vicuna
Get it from Ceramic Sense for $89 (available with or without drainage and saucer).
18. An outrageously extra strawberry toilet seat that proves bathrooms don't have to be boring.
Promising review: "Okay, when I tell you I themed my ENTIRE bathroom for this toilet seat, I am not exaggerating. My bathroom is still a work in progress, but the seat really ties everything together. I have never seen a seat nearly as cute as this one. I really look forward to pooping every day!!! It's very high quality and sturdy. The lid has some resistance, so it doesn't slam down, which is great. The colors are vibrant, and the seat is pretty comfortable! Anytime someone goes into my bathroom, they scream with excitement and laugh, and that's JUST the reaction I wanted. I love this seat SO much." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in 23 designs).
19. Or an abstract shower curtain if your bathroom could use even more pizzazz — especially to distract from the fact that you could comfortably use the toilet/wash your hands/shower all at once.
Promising review: "I purchased this shower curtain for my new apartment and I am in love with it. I think my plans for this bathroom were all over the place. I wanted minimalist, boho chic, but also wanted to incorporate enough color. I think this is a great balance. I will say that it looks way more pink in the photo but it’s actually a pale peach color. It paired well with my light wooden shelves and sink cabinet. I paired it with pink bath mats for the soft boho aesthetic. It’s water resistant and it’s not see through. The material appears to be thick enough for a shower curtain and looks like really good quality." —Ines
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
20. Orrrr a ~coquette~ shower curtain that capitalizes on TikTok's current bow obsession.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $49 (available in two colors).
21. A 3D flower wall hanging for those who have no desire (or ability) to keep an actual plant alive.
Wire and Mesh Art is a Goshen, Kentucky-based shop with wire decor in many different styles and colors.
Promising review: "This is a really gorgeous piece of wall art! I appreciate that it’s very delicate, yet still stands out — it the perfect accent for the gallery wall in my bedroom. They also included a tiny accent butterfly with my order, which was so sweet and very much appreciated. Shipping was super quick and my item was securely packed. Can’t recommend this enough!" —Andrea DiBenedetto
Get it from Wire and Mesh Art for $27.20+ (originally $34+; available in four sizes and with or without a stem).
22. A whimsical cloud lampshade guaranteed to softly diffuse light and makes you feel like you're falling asleep under a perfect Pixar sky. ☁️ ☁️ ☁️
The imaginative design comes from Roberto Celada and Raquel Esteve of the Valencia, Spain–based Etsy shop Buo Kids. Other exceptionally fun options include circus tents, pandas, koalas, and more.
This particular set up comes with an installation kit that allows you to affix the shade to your ceiling at a height between 15–50 centimeters. Note that a bulb is not included — it's meant to be mounted over an existing recessed light.
Get it from Buo Kids for $76.78+ (available in sizes L and XL and with stitching in four colors).
23. An Iris Apfel x Ruggable washable area rug so bright and attention-grabbing, no one will notice that you pushed your fiddle-leaf fig out of sight and carefully turned it around so only the good leaves are showing.
How does one throw an entire rug in the wash, you might ask? Well, Ruggable's options come in two parts: the decorative rug cover and a grippy rug pad. When you're ready to give your rug a wash, just separate the two pieces and throw the top layer in the wash. Easy as can be!
Promising review: "The rug is gorgeous and looks great in our dining room! I’ve already washed it once and it looks brand new. I will definitely be buying more Ruggables!" —Christina
Get it from Ruggable for $129+ (available in 11 sizes, 2 pile heights, 3 colors, and with a standard or premium rug pad).
24. A door mat that speaks to my introverted nature — something that was only strengthened after spending a few years alone indoors during the pandemic.
Luxe Lumber is a Canadian shop with hundreds of tongue-in-cheek door mats.
Get it from Luxe Lumber for $42.09+ (originally $52.62+; available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I am obsessed with my Letterfolk tile mat! Such a fun way to decorate for ANY event! It's fun to lay out the designs and everyone always compliments them!" —Aubrey T.
Get it from Amazon (available in three sizes and two colors) or Letterfolk for $75+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
26. A contemporary end table if your space could use a little drip — both literally and figuratively.
Promising review: "I’ve been eyeing this table for a while and I’m glad I finally bought it! The reviews are accurate, it’s not a smooth finish — but I actually love that, it adds character to it and makes it very industrial. The glass fit perfectly on top. I love it!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $170.10+ (available in five finishes).
27. A neon planet for those whose dream home aesthetic is Pizza Planet — the family-friendly, space-themed establishment from Toy Story.
The light can be powered via USB or batteries. It doesn't come with the latter, though, so be sure to pick up some AA batteries if you plan to go that route!
Promising review: "I get more compliments on this than anything else in my house... it glows and it is so beautiful. The colors are so vibrant and honestly, it's the most beautiful thing in my whole living room." —Laurie A.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (also available in five other styles).
28. And a pair of astronaut bookends to really hammer home that "Houston, we have a problem" when it comes to spending money on space-themed decor.
Promising review: "I wanted something interesting and stylish to hold my mostly sci-fi 4K Blu-ray DVDs and these are absolutely awesome. Well made, vivid colors and so cute. The weight is enough to hold these DVDs in place or even books if you must. I love them. Perfect purchase." —The Victor
Get the set of two from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors).
29. A disco ball bar cart so stunning, it'll blind guests to that fact that you didn't have time to get your apartment completely in order before your doorbell rang.
Here's more from BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer:
"This is the best product *I* bought this year, actually! When I saw this disco ball bar cart on TikTok (and BTW, that TikToker also says it's their best purchase of the year!!), I just knew I had to have it. It's from a small biz based in the UK and while it did take a while to arrive (as I expected), it was *well* worth the wait. The light bouncing off the mirror fragments and onto my walls is just dang beautiful. Between the bottom tray and the space inside the globe (yes, the globe OPENS UP!), there's a nice amount of storage for bottles and glassware. And unlike regular bar carts, the things you keep inside the globe will actually stay dust free. I bought the "champagne" color (which is a nice neutral cream-beige) but it comes in tons of colors that'll go perfectly with your home decor. "
Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $284.64 (available in seven colors).
30. A mini recreation of Michelangelo's David which you can use as a statement piece, bookend, vase, or even a makeup brush holder because your looks are absolutely a work of art.
Promising review: "Obsessed! I received this today and I’m in love with it. I was going to use it for my makeup brushes but it’s deeper than I thought so I went out and bought some lovely miniature roses to put in it. It adds the perfect touch of class to my room. It doesn’t come with the blush painted on the cheeks (like the product photo) which I prefer. Will be buying more to use as bookends." —Addie
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
31. A melting Dalí clock that'll make people stop and stare.
Promising review: "My whole family loves it! It’s so unique and fun to display. It's a very special piece to own from one of my favorite artists, Salvador Dali. I wish it was a sturdier material (it’s plastic), but either way, it will be safely displayed and the quality looks so good you can’t tell it’s plastic until you touch it. I would love if they made a larger size, but this size is great too!" —Luz C
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 13 finishes).
32. A cake candle so freakin' cute, you won't ever burn it. That said, you will keep it dusted and in eyesight at all times for maximum enjoyment.
Fairytale Candles USA is a Winter Garden, Florida–based small biz with all sorts of food-scented, vegan soy candles.

Get it from Fairytale Candles USA on Etsy for $20 (available in three colors).
33. A hanging disco ball planter if having ABBA play 24/7 isn't enough to let your guests know you live and breathe to boogie.
34. An egg-shaped bath mat that'll prevent any Humpty Dumpty-style slips or falls post shower so you can go earn that bacon! 🥓
35. A set of animal kingdom wall hooks to serve as doormen so visitors can check in their keys and coats. Now, what should you name them...? Something to think about. 🤔
Promising review: "Love these! Great condition, good size, and easy install. I’m a big fan. Only need them to hold hats but suspect they can hold something with more weight. Would definitely recommend for any animal lover or someone looking for a pop of gold whimsy." —Kailey Laneve
Get a set of six from Amazon for $17.99.
36. A ceramic lips planter that makes me think of both The Rolling Stones and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Basically, it makes me want to throw open the windows, enjoy the breeze, and sing along (poorly) to songs that I only know 50% off the lyrics to.
Promising review: "Loooooove it! Shipped quickly, high quality, exactly like the photo, and packaged well. NO drainage hole, so you’ll need to pour out excess water after your plant 🌱 has had enough to drink ;). It’s a great size and looks SUPER cute on a shelf in my living room." —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors).
37. A Tarot-themed room divider so guests can see your bright future but not the 2-week-old pile of laundry you kicked into the corner of your room.
The double-sided piece ships fully assembled and stands six feet tall.
Promising review: "It was a little bit different than I was expecting. I thought it was going to have wooden cut out frames for each individual card. It’s printed canvas stretched across the frame. I love it, though! It’s perfect for my home office space. I’m very happy with my purchase and shipping was fast." —Texas86
Get it from Amazon for $145.99+ (available in three sizes).
38. A "bad at sports" pennant if self-deprecating jokes (and thus decor) are kinda your thing.
Badge Bomb is a small business that partners with independent artists to create original artwork that embraces equality for all, animal welfare, environmentalism, mental health, and self-love. This design comes from British writer, illustrator, cartoonist, and self-proclaimed anti-socialite Gemma Correll.

Get it from Vasili Lights on Etsy for $239.36.
40. An adorable mushroom night-light, because no matter your age, the dark can be a scary thing — especially when you're stealthily sneaking into the kitchen to grab a midnight snack.
41. A cloud-like catchall dish that looks like it'd be right at home in a trendy TikToker's GRWM.
Promising review: "I love this little tray! It sits on my nightstand and helps to organize smaller items without taking up too much room. I have another one on our coffee table downstairs and it always receives compliments because it’s so unique!" —Brogan
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors).
42. A corduroy letter pillow you can use to mark your side of the bed if you and your partner fight over access to a single nightstand/wall outlet.
Buttons and Bells is a Knutsford, UK–based small biz from Danielle Bell.
Promising review: "Oh my goodness these were worth every penny!!!! They are AMAZING quality!!!!!!

I can’t wait to buy more from this shop I am very impressed beyond words!!!" —Courtney Knotts
Get one from Buttons and Bells on Etsy for $21.24+ (available in 14 colors).
43. And an enchanting moon lamp that'll make any Le Petit Prince-lovin' heart oh-so happy.
My colleague Emma Lord has one of these babies and says:
"UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top-selling products pages for so long that I was like 'Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!' And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases."
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in seven sizes).
