Promising review: "I have extra tall windows in my sunroom. I decided to order ten of these panels because they were so inexpensive and because the print would add a nice touch to all the plants, white wicker, etc. I LOVE THE WAY THIS LOOKS IN A SUNROOM. My windows are now bright with leaves cascading down and the whole room is just fantastic because of these curtains." —Janice Briggs

I got one of these for my mom for Christmas (her entire kitchen is pink, it is a Big Mood) and can confirm it is QUITE beautiful in person.
Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy

Promising review: "Love it, I keep it in my office and love the different light displays, the little measure cup they send with it is perfect for measuring your water for it. The lights have two different displays lighter and darker in each color. It's really pretty as a night-light. The mist is very soft and runs a long time. I will be getting these as Christmas gifts. I love mine and will be buying more the rooms in my home. Glad I bought this one." —Ron Curenton

Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things! The board is super cute and perfect in my kitchen. I was surprised and thrilled with how many letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc. came with the board. I thought for sure I would need to order more but that is simply not the case, Felt Like Sharing was more than generous with them! The board itself is sturdy and well made, and the ribbing is tight enough that you don't have to worry about letters falling off. Felt Like Sharing is a super responsive and pleasant company to work with and I have a feeling that I will be ordering many more boards from them in the future!" —Lisa K

Promising review: "So this sign is great. It came completely packed with the little foam pieces shown in the video to ensure it arrives intact. No setup was required, just plug in and turn on. There is a handy on/off switch so it may be left plugged in. The light is super bright and beautiful and exceeded my expectations. Can’t wait to get it hung on the wall!" —Dakota Watson

Promising review: "These pens are adorable, and I bought them on a whim because of their cuteness, which is exactly as pictured. I was expecting the actual ink quality to be mediocre at best. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are smooth-writing, comfortable pens. They do not have a huge ink reservoir, so I expect that I will go through them pretty quickly, but I will be buying more when they run out. I also noticed that the seller offers bulk refills, and I plan to give them a try." —Lin

Promising review: "These are fantastic. They are the perfect size and you can write on them just fine. They are not glossy at all. I’ve used ballpoint and ultra fine Sharpie. Would highly recommend these for organizing your day!" —Brooklesby
Get it from Target for $7.99.
Promising review: "I was so happy with the first one I bought that I purchased another shortly afterward. In addition to several levels of brightness for regular light, you can select one of several colors for mood/night lighting. You change your lighting selection with a simple finger tap on the top of the lamp. To turn on/off, just press lightly for a couple of seconds. The light is USB powered (most newer nightstands/tables have a USB port) and the battery lasts a long time. You get a lot of light for your money — I strongly recommend this product." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $18.
Promising review: "Really cool coasters. They do really look like the old floppy disks — same size, same everything. They are made of silicone so they don't soak up any spilled liquid but I wasn't really expecting them to. On the plus side, they are larger than your typical coasters so you would have to spill a lot of liquid for it to go on your table." —EmZet
Get a set of six from Amazon for $12.49 (also available in sets of four and eight).
Promising review: "One of the best health investments of the year for me. This is so simple, yet so much thought must have went into designing it to make it stable, lightweight, ergonomic and sharp looking. A terrific under $40 investment. If you're considering one of those $400+ standing desks, I would highly advise to give this standing laptop desk a shot first. I feel great standing up a few hours a day while tasking away and working hard. Great invention!" —Ben Grablachoff

Each set includes a pen cup, mail organizer caddy, paper tray, magazine holder, and sticky note holder.
Promising review: "I fell in love with this set the moment it came out of the box. It is sturdy, well-made and definitely worth the price. My living room is all pink and I just inherited my grandmother's writing desk so this fit in beautifully. I am a writer and like to make my writing space as inviting and lovely as possible. This desk set helps me keep my papers, mail, note pad, writing journals, and pens beautifully organized. Worth every cent." —MRS

The Concrete Letter is a Pennsylvania-based Etsy shop established in 2019 that specializes in handmade concrete decor and jewelry.
Promising review: "I am IN LOVE with this skull!!! I am an OMFS and it is the perfect pen holder for my desk. I have to say that I simultaneously made another purchase of a concrete item from a different shop, and TheConcreteLetter's quality far exceeded the other. The two items weren't even comparable... you can tell that TheConcreteLetter puts in the time and care to make your purchase special! I give 5 stars all around." —Alyssa Loparich
Get it from The Concrete Letter on Etsy for $16+ (available in seven styles and with or without a drainage hole).
Promising review: "I took a chance and bought this originally as a 'Band-Aid fix' to re-finish a desk. I had looked in stores in the contact paper aisles, but all of them were just that ... paper. THIS item is actually a thin sheet of vinyl (?) with adhesive, and I ended up liking it so much I bought more and re-finished my kitchen countertop with it as well! Highly recommended if you want to change the look of your counters but you don't have the money for a full remodel just yet. It can be cleaned with dish soap and water just like a real countertop." —Ezra Boyd
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four sizes).
Promising review: "I got this chair in green and it looks much better in person than it does online! The velvet is super soft and the chair itself seems pretty comfortable. It's a desk chair so I didn't want the cushion to be too soft. I love that it has such a great range of height because I usually want to sit in different ways depending on what I'm doing at my desk. It was incredibly easy to assemble, and it arrived much more quickly than Amazon originally estimated!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $129.80 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "It’s so cute! I got it in flamingo pink, which my little one loves. It’s a shiny glossy finish, beautifully and elegantly made! It’s compact, small and portable. Very pleasant and satisfying shape aesthetically! Large power-on, volume, and pairing up buttons on the right underside and adorable blue indicator light on the left. It’s easy to pair with a phone and a laptop by bluetooth. The sound is incredible for such a small device! Plus the built-in mic is great for using at home or in the car. It’s very convenient to charge by using a micro usb. I’m pleased with my purchase and would recommend to my friends." —Olivia
Get it from Amazon for $18.89 (available in six colors).
Promising review: "Most of my photos are on my phone now, so I put it in the back of my mind and didn't ever follow through. Flash-forward to seeing these photo clip strings with lights! An added bonus is that these serve as an extra form of illumination wherever they are. It's more like a glowing fairyland look. If I could, my entire house would be lit with white Christmas lights and these would fit in perfectly." —Amazon Customer

As an added bonus, all the colors are reversible, so you can change your desk vibe with the season.
Promising review: "It's a really beautiful desk pad. I love that the colors are reversible. Right now loving the purple for winter, but will switch to the pink side in the summer. Makes my work desk look more colorful and pretty! It feels like a good quality mat. The stitches surrounding the border are sewn on evenly and not cheap-looking. The feel is soft but durable. When I unrolled the mat, it flattened out easily and nicely without any creases or having to put heavy weights on the corners to flatten it out (unlike another similar desk pad brand that I bought for my home desk). As for function, I like that it also acts as a mouse pad for my mouse. Writing on paper with it underneath is not a problem, writing still feels smooth. Overall I love this beautiful mat." —Jessica

Promising review: "I’ve been using the SideTrak for a week now and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. The instructions were easy to follow, and installation a breeze. The SideTrak was first whipped into action during a 2 hour long ride in my car as a passenger, and I was utterly impressed with how much I got done with ease, in that amount of time! Additionally, I’ve gotten a lot more use out of the SideTrak than I imagined— such as when I’m lounging in my backyard, kitchen, living room, pool... anywhere outside of the room in my office, the possibilities are endless! I’m all about efficiency and maximizing my time and the SideTrak has contributed largely in those areas. Thank you." —Ratana K.

Promising review: "I love how portable this light is! As a freelance makeup artist, I carry a lot. This light definitely lightens my load *and* helps in dark spaces. I was pleasantly surprised with the option to have either warm light or cool light. I also love the iPhone holder so I can even capture video as I work! Just a heads-up, you need to 'twist' each section to make the stand stay put and you need to bring a plug that a USB wire can plug into. So worth the money!" —Veronica N.

Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things large and small will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark

Promising review: "I needed some small decorations for my office desk. I am not very good at picking out things like that, but I had already found an adorable ceramic pig with gold wings at Target and decided to make my desk white-and-gold animal themed. Nothing major, but a few functional pieces that may be aesthetically pleasing in the shape of animals and in white and/or gold. This white elephant holder was perfect! It fits perfectly and is really useful!" —lmk089

I love that you have a few different choice on how to put the bracket." —Janna
