1. An LED light strip for transforming your basic mirror into a stunning vanity that belongs in a Hollywood dressing room. You'll also have adjustable lighting for your makeup routine!
Promising review: "It looks beautiful on my new vanity! The brightness is incredible, and I love the dimmer feature. To line my mirror, I used about half the roll, and I wish it came with another plug/dimmer for the second half! I’ll definitely be ordering them. The light is strong, and shows you ALL imperfections (which I guess is the point, but wow, surprise!!) I am now hooked, and I'm telling my husband all the things in our home that HAVE to be lined with lights!" —Jenni P.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
2. Some sheer curtains to let that gorgeous daylight in without breaking the bank. If you can't bare to spare a smidge of natural light when decorating your space, these curtains were made for you.
If you're not ready to part with your beloved blackout curtains, consider layering them with a set of sheers and simply tie them back when not in use!
Promising review: "I’m not huge into curtains because I love natural light, but I know that I kinda need curtains. These curtains allow natural light to come through while adding to the decor in the room. They are see-through, but it’s not so see through that your neighbor can see everything." —Dakota
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.88+ (available in 19 sizes and 20 colors).
3. A vintage-inspired brass wall plate cover so you can liven up those very boring white ones with something much more stylish.
Promising review: "Feels quality, not flimsy. Installed in a bathroom and adds a nice classy vintage touch to my switch. The metal is not highly reflective, closer to a brushed look. Great for disguising fingerprints and blends in with other non-reflective metal hardware. When the light switch is frequently the first thing someone looks at and reaches for in a room, having a quality cover like this gets noticed and enhances a room very easily. I can't believe I'm still writing about how much I enjoy a light switch cover." —Tom Generic Dude
Get it from Amazon for $7.52 (also available in a switch plate cover design and a combo design).
4. Cabinet pulls that'll give any room an instant (and affordable) upgrade. Old, dingy handles not doing it for you anymore? These will deliver *the* perfect home upgrade with minimal effort.
Heads up that some reviewers recommend purchasing your own screws instead of using the included ones.
Promising review: "Wow!! That's my first thought on opening these. I'm in the process of updating my master bathroom and saw these online. Of course, the bargain shopper I am, I checked my local stores. They had packs of 10 for $54...very lightweight. So I was scared of what I was getting here. These are almost 5 ounces each!! Very heavy quality, all individually wrapped with the screws for each. Definitely best quality and best price!!" —Margaret
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in various sizes, colors, and styles).
5. Velvet throw pillow covers for making your sofa even comfier while filling the room with vibrant colors. It's a cheap and quick way to switch up the look of your space when you need a change!
These are just pillow covers, so don't forget the pillow inserts, if you need them.
Promising review: "I love these pillowcases! They are way nicer than I expected for the price. They are soft, wash well, and look more expensive than the price. I’m super happy with my purchase. I was kinda iffy on buying them, but I went ahead and did it because I knew I could return them if I didn’t like them, but I was actually pleasantly surprised." —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 12 sizes and 48 colors).
6. And a decorative throw blanket, which is just as cuddly as it is beautiful! Drape it over your sofa to add a pop of color to your living room during the day, then use it to get cozy for movie night.
7. A table lamp when you want to live your best bookworm life *without* having to turn on the blinding overhead light. Not sure how to decorate your empty bedside area? Problem solved!
Promising review: "The size is perfect for a two-drawer nightstand. The bottom has a soft smooth surface. I like the switch. It is an easy push button. I used electrical tape to adhere it to the back of the nightstand for easy accessibility. It gives lots of light for a minimalist lamp. It’s very effective without taking over the room with style and light." —Delilah McCullough
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 11 colors).
8. An aesthetically-pleasing Beast blender that'll make your kitchen look *very* fancy and improve your morning smoothie-making routine by a LOT. It's compact so it won't take up a ton of space, either.
PS: The blending bowl also doubles as a portable thermos and comes with a screw-on drinking lid and carry cap.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross says: "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."
Promising review: "I really love this blender. It's so aesthetically pleasing and works very well. I've had a Vitamix and a Ninja and this is so much better. Makes just enough and is so easy to clean that I actually end up using it daily. The larger blenders are just more work than they are worth in my opinion." —Taylor K.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $140 (originally $165; available in three colors).
9. A transformative velvet slipcover if you're so completely done with your old sofa but you're not prepared to spend a fortune on a new one. Don't worry, it comes with straps to keep it secure so it won't slip off.
Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz
Get it from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in five sizes and 10 colors).
10. A bundle of fresh eucalyptus to make your bathroom look and feel like the spa of your dreams. Bonus points: it'll smell downright heavenly in there.
Eucalyptus Blooms is a woman-owned small biz based in North Carolina that makes a variety of unique shower bundles and other scented products.

11. A bedside carafe and tumbler set that'll keep your nightstand looking colorfully chic while also quenching your middle-of-the-night thirst without having to get out of bed!
Each carafe holds up to 30 ounces of water!
Promising reviews: "Absolutely love this thing and it holds a lot more water than you think. It’s perfect for your nightstand when you wake up and need a sip of water. Also great when you drink a little too much. 😂" —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 11 sizes).
14. Some outdoor string lights if you spend a LOT of time in your backyard and want to make it more inviting without buying a bunch of new outdoor furniture. These lights are waterproof and they have trendy Edison bulbs.
Promising review: "My backyard gets pitch dark without lights but not anymore. These patio lights are fantastic. Easy to set up because the bulbs come assembled and all you have to do is mount as desired. Now I can enjoy my backyard at night with ease. Very bright and cozy." —Jl33NYC

16. A rope storage basket that'll be a lovely addition to the corner of any room *and* it's perfect for hiding odds and ends you don't want strewn about. If you're a plant enthusiast, it's great for dressing up larger pots, too!
Promising review: "It’s absolutely perfect for containing our fiddle leaf fig tree pot. Naturally, I washed it in the washer because cooties. It did swimmingly in the dryer! It’s tightly knitted, strong, and matches our coastal decor. It would also work well as a basket, hamper, or receptacle." —RiverBears
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in three sizes and five styles).

Promising review "Honestly, this is such an easy-to-install product. I bought this because my house needed extra light. This brightens the room at night and makes your cabinets stand out! Took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to install but very straightforward and easy to use. Great product and great price!" —Tom16

18. A floating bookshelf when you're all about a ~minimalist vibe~ but still need a place to store your beloved books. You'll show off your passion for reading while getting rid of clutter on your actual shelves.
Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home and we've placed them in our hallway, so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two colors and four sizes/variations).

Get it from Birdie Design Company on Etsy for $34.
21. A TV cord cover because you didn't do ALL that work of mounting your very expensive television just to have the aesthetic ruined with a mess of cords. This cover blends in so seamlessly with the wall, you'll have to squint to spot it.
Promising review: "This is the perfect solution for hiding a cord! It looks like it is just a part of the baseboard. Mine is covering a cable wire only, but I think they are big enough to hide more than one cord if needed. I didn’t cut mine, and I bought two. You can tell where the two meet if you look closely. However, I do not think anyone would notice. I can’t believe I let our cable cord sit across the floor for this long. I wish I would have found these sooner!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
22. A petite squiggly mirror perfect for your vanity or desktop, which won't take up a lot of space but will still make a very bold statement — for a fraction of the cost of expensive name brands.
You can see it in action in gracemadsfitz's TikTok video, though I'm sure you've seen it all over the platform — it's a huge hit within the TikTok decor community.
Promising review: "This mirror is so cute! I'm pretty sure most of us don't have thousands to spend on the full-length Ultrafragola mirror but this is a great purchase to get a little of that vibe into your home. The mirror quality is pretty good, I don't look distorted when I look at myself. It's a little smaller than I hoped but it's exactly as expected for the price. I keep it as decor on my nightstand and it's so cute." —veronica
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in nine colors).
23. A set of miniature glass jars with bamboo lids when you want your bathroom organization to be pretty, effective, and affordable. This will complement your aesthetic while keeping your toiletries in order.
P.S. the labels are included!
Promising review: "These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of Q-tips and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" —tara savage
Get a set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in sets of two or three).

27. A geometric wire photo frame so you can put your most cherished memories on display while adding a bit of dimension to the room.
Promising review: "Can I just say I love this picture frame? It looks much more expensive than it was, and everybody that sees it compliments it! It makes me way too happy. Happier than a picture frame should. It makes me want to go buy a bunch of other stuff from Umbra because it is all very cool." —Monica Wood
Get it from Amazon for $16.33 (available in six sizes and five colors).
28. A floral shower curtain because, no, decorating your bathroom doesn't have to be a total drag OR cost a pretty penny. Sometimes, it's the simplest home upgrades that have the biggest impact — and this one is super easy!
This shower curtain comes with hooks and it's made of a waterproof fabric that's machine washable! Some reviewers still choose to pair it with a shower curtain liner for good measure.
Promising review: "I change my shower curtain pretty often and this is by far my favorite. Rich, deep colors and crisp detail. I always use a clear liner behind so I can’t speak to waterproof. If you are on the fence on this one…jump!" —Gaynel Linn
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
29. A folding storage ottoman you can use to kick up your feet *and* organize items that don't have a permanent home. Flip over the lid and it turns into a tiny side table that holds your morning coffee!
Promising review: "This ottoman is very useful. It doesn’t have a tray, but if you turn the lid, it can be used as a tray. It’s not very big, but I can rest and put my feet there.
