    May this hanging artificial eucalyptus plant bring you zen and this TikTok-beloved alarm clock bring you vibes.

    1. A calming artificial eucalyptus wall hanging to add some ~~zen~~ to your bedroom space and make that morning alarm feel a little less like the universe reached out and hit you in the face.

    2. A rainbow prism suncatcher you can easily hang indoors or out to refract sunlight and make a bunch of teensy little rainbows all over the place, like your bedroom is your own little magical realm.

    3. A pom-pom throw bright enough to add a pop of color to your favorite corner of the room and soft enough to inspire some accidentally-on-purpose weekend naps.

    4. A ridiculously popular set of breathable, cooling bed sheets that have amassed over 103,000 5-star reviews (and come in so many colors you could build a rainbow).

    5. Plus a set of bed bands to lock your fitted sheets neatly into place once and for all, so you can finally get the peaceful, untangled sleep you deserve every night.

    6. An incredibly sleek, TikTok-famous rotating digital alarm clock — it may look small and trendy, but it comes complete with two USB ports, plus an input port, PLUS a mirrored screen, so it'll also save plenty of space on your nightstand.

    7. A set of off-white sheer curtains to add a bit of sophisticated flair to your windows, but still let the sunlight stream in. Honestly, these are so pretty that Maria von Trapp would 11/10 pull them down and make a bunch of fancy matching outfits out of them.

    11. Plus a set of pastel glow-in-the-dark stars to add some intergalactic whimsy to your space (also not a bad idea for gently lighting up the bathroom at night!).

    12. A The Office door sign any fan of the show deserves to hang outside their bedroom-but-also-home office for authenticity's sake (after all, you miss 100% of the signs you don't hang).

    13. A small but ridiculously chic rechargeable bedside lamp that comes with touch ability, so you can tap-tap-tap your way through different brightness levels and colors to match *truly* any vibe you might have for your room on a given day.

    19. A foolproof glass bedside tumbler you will be especially grateful for when you wake up parched as SpongeBob on land in the middle of the night. I personally swear by this water bottle for drinking at night, because the straw gives you easy, uncomplicated access when you don't want to overthink things so hard you fully wake yourself up, and the firm lid makes you soooo much less likely to spill all over yourself.

Fabrics like satin create less friction for your hair, which may spare you those first ten minutes you spend every morning trying to find your face out from under the tangles. Win-win-WIN.

    25. A record/magazine/Cool Stuff holder that'll not only help you organize your your books and records, but will give you the opportunity to make your favorite things part of the decor.

    26. A set of corduroy pillow covers that'll accent your bed or cozy up your favorite reading chair (which, thanks to these, just became your favorite napping chair).

    34. A set of trendy clear tiered organizing cubes to organize all your favorite things in a much more chic, spacious way than a full-on shelf would — not to mention a heck of a lot cheaper than a full-on shelf, too.

    35. A set of minimalist hooks for a uniform, orderly way to show off your favorite accessories and precious plant babies, aka the lights of your life.

    38. An over-the-door hanging purse organizer that will not only hold all your bags, but will ROTATE 360 degrees around, so you can put on a lil' fashion show for them every day. The 83 tote bags on my closet floor are shaking.

    39. A set of clear drawer organizers that will finally force you to reckon with the abyss of your dresser and nightstand "junk drawers" once and for all. Start with the makeup one, move onto the technology one, and then — if you dare — tackle the one with all the hair ties, too.

    40. A catty-corner shelf for some of your baubles and plants, because honestly, your nightstand and your desk are tired of pulling all the organization weight for all the other furniture in your room.

    41. A blank acrylic dry erase board you can install by the side of your bed as an easy way to keep track of your schedule for the week, or writing motivational messages to yourself like "Please make sure all the Goldfish crackers end up in your mouth and not all over your bed."

    42. A set of stackable trays in pretty pastels and geometric designs that are as versatile as they are cute — you can use them to display jewelry *or* rest snacks on while you're munching in bed.

    43. A set of velvet closet hangers designed to cling ever so slightly to your clothes, both so the clothes stay put more firmly on the hanger, and so they flatten a bit to reduce the bulk of some of your clothing (hello, all 10,000 of my oversized flannels) takes up.

    44. Plus an S-shaped hanger specifically designed for pants, scarves, and towels if you want to drastically free up those crammed dresser drawers by giving their contents a new home.

    49. A leaning ladder for a chic way to store blankets, purses, and accessories (and also flex that you do, in fact, have *excellent* taste in drape-able things). A lot of reviewers also used this to replace The Chair, or that one spot in your room where you leave your "I'm going to wear this again, but wash it soon" clothes.
