1. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light can channel cottagecore vibes...even if you're stuck in a concrete jungle atm.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
2. A rechargeable lighter for *safely* lighting your various candle babies without worrying about lighter fluid or a flimsy match.
I bought one of these about a year and a half ago and have only had to charge it a few times. (If I'm home and awake, a candle is most likely lit.) It's super easy to use, I feel safer about storing it than a gas lighter, and I no longer have to be on the prowl for bar and restaurant match books to help fuel my candle habit. Plus the lights on the handle make it easy to see when it's time to recharge...which only entails plugging up a USB cord. Easy-peasy!
Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super minor annoyance. It's a super intuitive device. Plus the lighter with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" —Jee W
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).
3. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you simply throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal. OK. You like EVERY meme about dumping grease down the sink to get back at your landlord, but like, you've gotta use your sink in the meantime. Y'know?
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $9.58.
4. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you'll just spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max.
Promising review: "This product is so easy to use. As you can see from the pictures, my bathtub was staying pretty good. The guy that owned the house before me used Ajax to clean it so it has almost no enamel left on it and it’s probably the staining and nothing could get it out until I bought this. After 4 8-hour applications you can see the difference. I highly recommend this to everybody and once it’s completely clean I’m gonna go on the once a week application. I actually bought another bottle for my dad and mom." —Domenick R. Stamegna
Get it from Amazon for $19.94+ (available in two sizes, in two scents, and packs of two).
5. A waterproof shower phone holder in case you'd love nothing more than to watch TikToks in the shower or toggle between podcasts. This adjustable rotating mount is waterproof *and* will let you swipe between stuff because you can use your touchscreen with it.
Check out a TikTok of the shower phone holder in action.
Promising review: "This waterproof phone case makes listening to music and watching Netflix in the shower so easy!! It’s super easy to put your phone in, fog proof, and easily rotatable. The only thing is sometimes touching the screen through the plastic can be a little difficult, but worked most of the time! It comes with three different backs so you can move it around to many different spots in the house. I got the white color so it would match my shower." —Brittney Steele
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in six colors).
6. A pouch of Mystical Fire you drop onto your wood fire to create a colorful, magical effect.
7. A slim cutlery organizer can make room for the rest of the stuff you've been keeping in an unwieldy standing container on your countertop. Trust me, I have it and love it!
Promising review: "Yes, this little utensil tray is really that good! I went from using 12 inches of horizontal space in a lovely but huge wooden utensil tray to about using about 4 inches (whatever the width of this godsend is). It stores my butter knives, steak knives, spoons, forks, and a slew of little teaspoons. I'd guess that the max capacity for each slot is about 10 pieces. For example, I fit four butter knives and four steak knives into the first/knife slot easily, with good wiggle room. This is such a great design. Using this tray opened up about half of my 18-inch wide drawer, which allowed me to decompress the other drawers in my kitchen a bit. I highly recommend this item. It's worth every penny." —Kathleen Cooke
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four colors and in two sizes).
8. A shower curtain liner with mesh storage pockets I love and will buy for as long as it's a thing I can buy. Maybe you'll feel the same way too once you realize you can stash SO MANY things in it.
Yep, you're looking at my shower! I upgraded from a corner tension rod caddy and never want to go back. The mesh pockets drain water so your liner won't get all icky. And they make it easy to tell the difference between the minimalist packaging for your face wash and shave cream when it's way too early in the morning. Read my ~full review~ (#2) to learn more about why I'm in love with an object that can't love me back.
Get it from Amazon for $20.14+ (available in two colors).
9. A magnetic stove shelf that's the perfect amount of room to keep your most-used spices so you don't have to go digging in your cabinet while the oil is literally poppin' on your stove top.
StoveShelf is a small business, and these shelves are built to last a lifetime.
Promising review: "This is an excellent buy. The shelf helped me declutter my cabinet, and it is an awesome storage space for my more often used spices. It is sturdy, easily installed, and attractive. I recommend this shelf." —Pamella R.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six types and three sizes).
10. A rotating makeup/skincare organizer for putting your most-used options within close range without overpowering the vanity. Time to try that sit down for a spell and try that siren eye thing you saw on TikTok.
11. A three-tiered ring floor lamp that isn't just a regular lamp. You can sit and admire this beaut while you give your eyes a screen break during your annual The Sopranos January rewatch. Mmmm. Makes me want some baked ziti.
Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting.
Promising review: "The light is nice! It’s a unique looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I’d definitely recommend it to others." —Carmelita Joy
Get it from Amazon for $84.99+ (available in four colors).
12. A do-it-all toothbrush holder and dispenser might make it feel like you and your outside bones are living in the year 3023.
This game-changer includes a toothpaste dispenser, four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.
Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, cotton swabs, or flossers." —Sariyah J
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three colors).
13. A set of floating bookshelves as a clever excuse to display your to-read pile...even when you're maxed out on bookshelf space. Now's a better time than ever to finally READ those tomes.
14. A super cozy, extra-large blanket (it's 10 x 10 feet!) with ample room for snuggling up together underneath with pals or loved ones — or perhaps creating a giant blanket burrito with just you as the ingredient.
It's made from a temperature-regulating blend of polyester and spandex, making it softer than sherpa and fleece blankets while keeping you cozy yet cool!
Big Blanket Co. is a small business specializing in selling the world's largest blankets for the ultimate cozy setup in your home.
Promising review: "I instantly fell in love with this blanket. I was hesitant to purchase at first with the price but I'm so glad I did. It's super soft, has just enough weight to it that it makes it soothing, and is surprisingly cool to sleep with. It doesn't get really hot like some of my other blankets do. The huge size is also a bonus, as I love hogging blankets all to myself." —Lindsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $159+ (available in six colors).
15. Or if you're VERY against sharing, a plush blanket reviewers swear by as the ultimate Barefoot Dreams dupe will keep you feeling nice and toasty while you sit around and demolish your enemies (I mean, FRIENDS) at board games.
Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I 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 $29.99+ (available in 13 styles and two sizes).
16. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt if you've been chasing that dream of recreating movie theater popcorn while you're holed up, watching scary movies. Well, dreams do come true because this stuff IS life-changing and I can personally vouch.
I invested in one of these delicious cartons after reading my colleague Emma Lord rave about it. It's super salty, super buttery, and like, probably something you shouldn't eat every day. But boy is it a total TREAT.
Promising review: "I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item. My at-home popcorn is now my favorite thing to make and I don't need to go the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." —S Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $9.25+ (available in two sizes and in three flavors).
17. A flannel-scented candle as a seasonal delight to make your home feel so warm and cozy.
Sweet Water Decor is a woman-owned small business based in Pittsburgh making candles and other home goods. Each candle is hand-poured using American-grown soy wax.
Promising review: "Smells amazing and they even sent me a little tea light of a new scent to try. I love the natural ingredients, no headache from this candle, just a great scent! Can’t wait to order some more for the holidays!" —CARAND
Get it from Amazon Handmade for $24.95+ (available in two sizes and in ten scents).
18. An ~expandable~ bathtub caddy to avoid some library fees for water damage while getting through that stack of books that've been staring you down for months.
Promising review: "I got it for my aunt, she loved it so much she got another one for her other bathroom!" —Justine M Hutchinson
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors).
19. A gorgeous glass essential oil diffuser and humidifier as a li'l helper against winter dryness while giving you something to zone out on while you're doing the mental math about whether you should order Thai or pizza for dinner.
Check out a TikTok of the diffuser in action.
Promising reviews: "It’s beautiful!! Best oil diffuser I’ve ever had. Everyone is asking me where I got it at. Gives off a lot of mist, makes my whole room smell wonderful, and it’s a great conversation piece. Highly recommend it." —Danielle Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $28.47+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors).
20. A moon lamp that'll give you something gorgeous to gaze upon, even if you're stuck in an apartment with a view of your neighbor who never wears clothes.
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 $16.98+ (available in eight sizes).
21. Some lighted curtains you can layer with sheer curtains for an ethereal look in your indoor oasis. Your living space is about to look straight-up magical.
22. Or a fairy light photo display with lil' clips so you can easily swap out the photos as you please. It'll create a lovely feature and help add another light source (every room needs three!), which will be especially welcome if you live in a place that has no ceiling light!
Promising review: "These are fun lights that spruced up a dull area. Once I got them untangled initially, they were super easy to put up. They are a tad bit heavy and need something strong to clip to. The clips have good springs and will stay wherever they are put. It literally took just a few minutes, including adding the photos, to put up and enjoy." —Sheila Crawford
Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes and in warm white or yellow).
23. A rainbow prism suncatcher that'll easily hang indoors or out to refract sunlight and make your living room look even cooler.
24. A velvet slipcover will give your ragged old couch a complete new look. Plus, the slipcover comes with straps to keep it in place so you don't have to fuss with it all the time.
25. A set of reusable dispenser bottles (with nice labels!) that are dupes for some outrageously expensive toiletries you've probably seen in a fancy restaurant bathroom.
26. Or a set of stainless-steel and glass soap dispensers in case your bathroom decor store is a lil' more light and airy.
Promising review: "I purchased these to use as shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash dispensers. I wanted our shower to look like a spa! They are great quality and many people I know have copied our idea, so they are a hit! Very high quality, the plunger part is always the most important part. These are metal and not plastic, something that seems to be hard to find when looking for dispensers." —Rebecca Morea
Get set of two from Amazon for $15.99.
27. A USB-powered LED light strip can help improve your TV-watching experience by bringing in a bit of ambient light to your personal theater.
28. A guided gallery wall kit that comes with seven frames, a hanging template, hardware, and some pretty black-and-white prints you can use as placeholders 'til you figure out which pics will go in this place of honor.
29. Or, a hanging frame helper to help you finally get all your wall art up that you already have and make it feel like home. (You can only lean so many framed prints against the wall as a "look.") Talk about a great wintertime project!
30. A set of NoNo Brackets, aka curtain rod brackets that fit onto your existing blinds so that you don't have to fool with drilling any holes for new window treatments.
31. And some super-luxe-looking, room-darkening velvet curtains that'll look like you paid rent on them.
32. Some under-cabinet lights to bring a modern touch to any outdated cabinets that you wanna replace later. But it'll be a little while. *And* this strand makes for super easy installation if you're in a rental!
33. And a nightlight for your bed that'll make you feel like you're staying at a fancy hotel as you step around that pile of clothes that fell off "the chair" in the middle of the night.
34. Stainless-steel-effect contact paper to get you the modern look of fresh appliances for chump change.
35. An adjustable closet doubler does exactly what its name says to help fill that dead space below your hanging tops. The doubler just hooks right onto your closet rod.
Promising review: "This product has been one of my favorite Amazon finds, I’m not sure why I didn’t think of it sooner. It has doubled my closet space in my apartment where I can’t make any damage in terms of adding another permanent shelf — so this has been a perfect solution. It was easy to assemble and is sturdy. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now with no issue. Your closet has to be pretty high for this to work or else your shirts above are going to get caught on the hangers below and for my case, some of my shirts are dragging on the floor — just keep this in mind when you’re thinking about purchasing." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $16.87+ (available in two colors and in two sizes).
36. A charming fruit hammock can clear up some counter space and put your farmers market haul on display.
37. Peel-and-stick wallpaper to help you get a snazzy DIY look 'til you're on an interior designer budget. It'll happen for ya one day.
38. A *washable* faux white tiger hide rug to really snazz up your home without having to be too precious around it.
I own this rug and ADORE it. Like other Ruggable rugs, it comes with a rug pad that keeps it in place and you leave behind when it's time to wash the rug. I haven't needed to wash my rug just yet, but I think it looks like the real deal. AKA, it looks VERY expensive. And if feels even softer underfoot than an actual hide rug. (Or at least a real cow hide rug. I've never tread across an authentic tiger hide rug before...but that's something I'll be fine with if I never get around to it in life.)
Get it from Ruggable for $149+. And check out lots of other washable faux hide rugs.
39. A piece of wall art with a major jewelry upgrade that'll kick up your collection.
PinFranklin is a Black woman-owned Etsy shop chock full of absolutely beautiful wall art prints available in a variety of styles and sizes.
Get it from PinFranklin on Etsy for $30+ (available in 13 sizes, in print or canvas).
40. A tasteful nude vase if your interior aesthetic can be described as a bit frisky. If you can't keep a plant alive, this'll be a gorge storage solution for makeup brushes or writing utensils.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
41. A jetted tub cleaner that'll make you gag with delight once you run it through your system and all the pipe filth emerges like some Ghostbusters sludge. Oh, and it's septic safe.
Promising review: "OK, so I am somewhat of a clean freak and I run bleach through the jets prob twice a month on top of my weekly cleaning. And I was skeptical how this product could get it any cleaner than I thought it was. Well I am here to tell you this pic is after the second cleaning with this cleaner!!!! I am a believer and would highly recommend this product to anyone with jetted tub!!" —Momof2greatboys
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
42. A scratch-off world map that'll be a pretty reminder of your past travels and how staying inside not spending money will make your future travels even more spectacular!
I have one just like this (gifted from my friend Courtney!) and keep it in a frame without glass so I can easily scratch off each destination I've recently visited.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five sizes).
43. The Omsom Bundle, which is really just fancy talk for flavorful Asian dish starters (aka, the sauces, aromatics, and seasonings) to keep stashed in your pantry for heavy lifting. Each comes with recipes you can easily follow. Just add protein and veggies!
Cofounders and sisters Vanessa and Kim Pham started Omsom after stints at startups and in consulting. As the kids of Vietnamese refugees, they were inspired by all the from-scratch Viet dinners they watched their mom cook growing up. With Omsom, they aim to bring lots of flavor to your pantry with their pantry starters that'll help you make some amaaaazing Asian dishes. Each starter serves two to three people. (Fantastic news for lazy people like me who buy a spice once, and then let it expire.)
This bundle will give you some major kick for your buck. It includes the entire Omsom collection of six cuisines with 12 starters total, including one Southeast Asian Omsom Sampler with Vietnamese, Thai, and Filipino starters and one East Asian Omsom Sampler with Japanese, Korean, and Chinese starters.
Promising review: "Delicious and easy dinner. I love the flavors because they are nostalgic and delicious and make mealtime a breeze with my kids." —Suzanne R.
Get it from Omsom for $55.
44. A reed oil diffuser more or less made for folks like me who can't keep actual plants alive. Lucky for you and I, these faux flowers look *quite* realistic.
Promising review: "This is a beautiful reed and flower diffuser. Perfect packaging with lots of oil in it. I purchased a real flower diffuser with April Fresh scent. I absolutely love it. This is a pretty modern diffuser; good for my home decor. I am going to repurchase it for every room in my house and gift for my friends." —Grace L
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in ten sizes and multiple sizes).
45. A foot massager you'll start using on the reg while you park on the couch and catch up on your stories after a long, hard day sending tons of emails.
This uses infrared heat and six rotating massage heads for delivering some serious relaxation.
Promising review: "Don't wait to get this like I did. It's fairly priced and great to have. I'm a nurse so I work 12-hour shifts plus an hour and a half commute each way on the train. I get back pain. I use this when I get home or randomly while watching TV. It gives you that perfect little massage you need. It gives off heat too. I love it and highly recommend it." —tracy
Get it from Amazon for $44.79+ (also available in big vibration). Also check out a manual rolling massager I own and use while I'm sitting on my couch.
