1. A retro-style smoothie maker that honestly has a lot of audacity being that cute AND that functional?? It blends in either a LITERAL MASON JAR or a plastic portable sports bottle you can pop right off and drink from. But don't you dare underestimate this cute little bean — it can crush ice and blend frozen fruit like nobody's business.
Promising review: "Wow. I have been through many high end blenders that have broken or just didn’t cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn’t leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I’ve never written a review on here before but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it’s so cute on the counter!" –Casey

2. A pleated gingham skirt you'll be especially glad to have for all your dates to the drive-in movie theater or bowling alley or (gasp) driving the car up to the town's legendary Make Out Point!
Promising review: "This skirt is absolutely beautiful. I wore it for family photos. The material is thicker so you cannot see through it at all, plus it has pockets!! There is no stretch to the waistline, however I went by the size chart and it was true to size. This piece can be dressed up or down." —T
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 22 colors/patterns).
3. A retro radio tissue holder so old-timey precious that you'll be a little bit?? EXCITED??? For allergy season??? Because you'll get to spend quality time with your favorite piece of home decor. 🎵
Psst — this is compatible with tissues from a small cube box, or just tissues pulled out of the box, not a full size one!
Promising review: "It's adorable! I currently have it filled with tissues from a small cube box. Works great! Perfect addition to my teal and gold bedroom decor!" —Michelle W.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors).
4. A pair of bell bottoms that are — thank the denim gods — decidedly coming back into style mid-2023. This is *the* pair to snag, according to reviewers who can't get enough of the chic, comfy elastic high waist!
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I am a big fan of flare/bell bottom jeans. I loved them back in the '90s and early '00s and I still love them. I was a little apprehensive to buy these because of the elastic waist but I did it anyways, and bought two pair because I need flares back in my life again. Once I tried them on, the elastic was out of my mind. They are a little long but that's how I like my jeans. Favorite jeans ever. I will wear them probably every single day this fall and winter season. And spring as well. Probably summer too. Buy them. You won't regret it." —Shell
Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in women's sizes S–4XL and 28 colors/washes).
5. An '80s kid-themed holographic sticker pack, because our laptop cases and Stanley cups aren't just going to style *themselves*, now are they??
Otto's Grotto is an Indiana-based Etsy shop established in 2021 that specializes in '80s, '90s, and pop culture sticker designs.

6. A retro-style 12-cup programmable coffee maker that has all the bells and whistles of its sleeker, modern counterparts, and all the nostalgic aesthetic of the '60s. It has a "keep warm" function that works for two hours before automatically shutting off, and you can even schedule it to make coffee at a particular time each day so you're never caught caffeine-less again.
Promising review: "We have had a few other appliances from Nostalgia and we've been very pleased with the brand, so when my wife was looking for a coffee maker and we saw this was Nostalgia brand, the purchase was a no brainer. It looks great on our counter, it works pretty much like every other coffee pot, and the reusable filter is a great touch too. And my wife swears this coffee is better than the last coffee maker." —G. King
Get it from Amazon for $61.99+ (available in four colors).
7. A decorative ceramic lips holder for your jewelry or makeup to add a little retro pop to your vanity or entryway table that is most definitely Red-era Taylor Swift-approved.
Promising review: "I love this as I’m getting into my super pink era. 💅🏼 It’s a nice weight and not easily breakable. It holds a lot of knickknacks too, from lipsticks to trinkets. I also think it’s really cute. Going to get a number of these to put around my home." —Agusta
Get it from Amazon for $13.96+ (available in five shades).
8. A set of vintage-style Disney ride posters to add some personality to your living room that isn't just "boy howdy, do I eat a lot of popcorn in here."

Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE these posters. With all the recent Disney changes, I wanted to have memorabilia that wasn’t outrageously expensive and these were perfect. I had these in my cart as Save For Later and my husband ended up surprising me with them recently! We had a fun time planning on where to hang them up and how to decorate the wall with additional Disney souvenirs and pictures. The quality is great, thick paper and the colors are so vivid. It feels just like walking into Disney and right on down Main Street USA!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of nine from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three styles).
9. A delightfully versatile bodycon pencil dress because *someone* has to be the office's retro fashionista, and the oh-so-chic burden might as well fall on you!
10. A handy, aesthetically pleasing kitchen measurement conversion magnet for the avid baker who is like, "Avoiding math, but make it fashion." This pretty little magnet will make sure your pretty little head doesn't have to break itself with equations the next time you bake.
Levain & Co is a small business that specializes in kitchen conversion charts and kitchen tools.
Promising review: "I bake often (following recipes on the internet) and usually have to convert some of the ingredient amounts. I’m glad I got this — super helpful, especially because it has the conversions for different ingredients. It’s also very cute! It’s not too big either which is a plus." —Jasmine
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
11. A cherry-embroidered cardigan so cute that you'll black out and accidentally organize an entire sock hop in your local gym just for the opportunity to show it off.
Promising review: "Super soft, high quality sweater with real buttons!! It’s a '50s style cut so perfect for high-waisted jeans/pencil skirt or with a black tank top and skinny jeans with wedges. Very good quality!!" —April
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 21 styles).
12. A strawberry milk carton vase to remind you of the good ole days when the milkman dropped off milk at your door every week instead of you squinting at seven kinds of oat, almond, and electromagnetic force milk in the fridge aisle every week. (I made that last one up ... but for how long????)
13. A plush velvet vintage-inspired ottoman that'll serve not just as a sweet accent to any room, but also give you some ~sneaky storage~ to help declutter and calm your space.
Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!).
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in six colors).
14. A retro brand bookmark so you every time you open a book you can harken back to the good old days when you low key thought the Blockbuster Police were going to arrest you for losing their VHS of Space Jam.
The UK Book Guy is a UK-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in unique, vintage, and retro bookmarks.
Promising review: "I’m so glad that I stumbled upon these amazing bookmarks! I originally only intended to buy one. However, I ended up ordering all four — best decision EVER! The quality and the design are absolutely stunning! 😍" —Daria

Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 11 colors).
16. A pair of retro-inspired smiley face slippers because, in the words of all those plucky orphans in Annie, you're never fully dressed without a smile!! Reviewers love these super plush, durable slippers for putting a literal ~pep in their step~ at the beginning of the day.
Promising review: "So comfy, so worth it. I have been eyeing these slippers for some time and finally ordered them. When they arrived, they were in a vacuum sealed bag and I was concerned and confused because they felt so hard. As soon as I removed them from the packaging, they fluffed up and felt sooo comfortable. They’re soft and feel great especially with the rubber sole!" —Natasha
Get it from Amazon for $15.79 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and five colors).
17. A set of vinyl coasters to give your coffee table a delightfully retro touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation.
Promising review: "I absolutely adore these!!! They are so cute and definitely do the job! They keep the surface free from water rings and make me giggle!" —johnny williams
Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.99.
18. A plunging halter swimsuit so effortlessly adorable that it will make passersby do a double-take, wondering if they fell into a 1950s time machine that happened to be laying out on the beach.
Promising review: "After reading reviews and seeing similar body types to mine, I decided to take the big leap and buy this suit. I'm about 200 lbs., wear a 16–20 depending on the brand. I have a VERY difficult time finding bathing suits that fit the way I want. I took the advice of other reviews and purchased the 3XL or otherwise labeled as a US 12/14. HOLY HECK, THIS ONE BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER!!! The fit is perfect. I'm very glad the bust area had more fabric! I may just buy this in every color." —Emma Mass
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and in 26 colors and patterns).
19. A set of Barbie martini glasses that were featured in the iconic film, so now you can dissociate from the end of a long week of Capitalism (TM) by pretending you took a car (and a space ship and a bike and a snowmobile) to Barbieland.
Dragon Glassware is a family-owned, California-based small business that specializes in custom glassware.
Promising review: "These are wonderful. Feels great in my hand. All glass. Beautiful colors. Would also make a great gift. The Barbie logo is on the bottom of the glass. Recommended to be hand washed." —K. Scott
Get a set of two from Amazon for $35.99 (also available in clear and iridescent colors).
20. A nostagia-inducing mini popcorn maker so *everything* in your kitchen is popping — not just the corn, but the adorable color scheme.
This gizmo pops up to 12 cups of cooked popcorn at a time — just make sure to have a bowl under it to catch it!
Promising review: "Great popcorn maker. Just make sure you have a large container in front of it when the popcorn starts flowing. Very easy to operate and awesome item in a retro theme kitchen." —Sassy Dimple
Get it from Amazon for $28.59 (available in three colors).
21. A glamorous (but delightfully lightweight!) vintage-style luggage set, because the airport is nothing if not a stage for you to pretend you're a 1940s movie star who fell out of a time machine.
Each set comes with a rolling suitcase with telescoping handles and a matching briefcase.
Promising review: "If you’re debating whether to get them, do it! They look far more high-end than the price you pay for them, and they’re sturdier than I’d hoped. My daughter also has a set in another color, and she flew to and from Hawaii with them (and their covers) with success. I can’t say enough good things about this set. In fact, I plan to purchase the larger piece for air travel, now that I know that they hold up well, and are roomy and secure." —Lance and Yolanda
Get it from Amazon for $209+ (available in three sizes and 11 colors).
22. A pair of cat-eye sunglasses for an instant edge to any outfit that says, "I'm the main character of this sidewalk now, buster." (Or possibly say, "Yeah, I bought these after seeing Margot Robbie wear a pair in Barbie, what of it??")
Promising review: "I don’t like the larger shades, so these are perfect for me. The lenses are not so dark that they distort what I am looking at. I love the design look without the designer price." —Lydia Harrison
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in nine styles).
23. A vintage-style denim backpack to give off a real "I'm in a coming of age film trying to find myself, making a ragtag group of friends along the way" vibe to your look. Or, you know, give you a cute place to stash your odds and ends on the way to work.
Promising review: "I had a difficult time finding a backpack for overnight stays and day trips. I didn't need laptop storage, just a few clothes and toiletries. I finally found this denim backpack which is perfect. Just the right size and room for my needs. The only improvement I'd like is slightly larger outside side pockets. It can be done, but it's a struggle to get a water bottle in them." —jayares
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 39 styles).
24. A mini tabletop fan so you can stay cool literally *and* figuratively while plugging away at your desk. This cutie has two speeds and tilts so you can get the air flow at the precise angle you need, and gives off just enough of a steady hum for a soothing vibe at night.
Promising review: "Got this for my office, as our HVAC is temperamental. It has two speeds to choose from, and I find both not overly loud. It gives a decent breeze and helps fight off the heat and stuffiness on the days that the AC is not up to par. It's a good compact size, and I love the retro styling. It fits perfectly on my desk. I kept going back and forth as to whether or not to buy it. I'm so glad I did! It's been a lifesaver many times over." —bvegan
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in seven styles).
25. A hinge-top bread box, because it is imperative to protect the carbs at all costs. Doing it in style is just common courtesy, after all the magical things carbs do for us every day.
26. A vintage-esque Disneyland sweatshirt for anyone who is physically stuck in their nine-to-five, but mentally sucking down a Dole Whip and power walking to Splash Mountain.
Promising review: "Ordered one for me and my boyfriend since we’re taking a trip to Disney in June. These are perfect — just the right price, thick enough to keep you warm, but you won’t be too hot in this, so I love them." —Emily Ramos
Get it from Amazon for $26.90 (available in five colors and sizes S–3XL).
27. A quick-heating Fellow electric kettle as handy as it is beautiful — its chic gooseneck is designed for an optimum flow rate for pourovers, its temperature settings will let you get *highly* specific about how warm you want the water too be, and you can toggle the base to keep the water at the precise temp you want for up to an hour.
Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and having to heat it up again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." —Emily A.
Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in 13 colors and styles) or from Amazon for $165+ (available in seven styles).
28. A set of pinup fridge magnets, because that jury duty summons letter? Boring and bad. That jury duty summons letter held up on the fridge by someone flexing the cutest stockings you ever did see? ... Still boring and bad, but CUTE!!
Promising review: "Wanted to add vintage sass to my kitchen. Perfect for my fridge! Family and friends love them." —T. Johnson
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.49.
29. A cute little retro-inspired clock to give your wall such a chic upgrade that next time you're running out of time you'll quite literally be ~fashionably~ late.
30. Plus a sweet little bedside alarm clock worth buying not just for the ~aesthetic~, but to set an alarm that ISN'T your phone, so you aren't tempted to start your day getting sucked into a TikTok-Instagram-whatever we're calling Twitter this week black hole before you even get out of bed.
Promising review: "Small, cute, functional clock. It’s simple and user-friendly. Great for travel or to use at home. It emits no ticking sound, perfect for those who need silence at night, and has a standard beep alarm. I’ve used it as a bedside alarm clock and have found it to be accurate. I’ve used it simply to display in the living room as well, because it looks great anywhere! It’s only downside is there doesn’t seem to be a light/glowing hands to determine the time in the dark if needed, which can be helpful if you’re using it as a bedside alarm. Otherwise, it’s a great clock." —Kinsey Maneval
Get it from Amazon for $20.83+ (available in three colors).
31. A retro tile undated planner so cute that you'll actually have no choice but to get your life in order, because this is going *everywhere* with you.
This two-year planner not only has monthly pages, but spots for each day that you can plan down to the *half hour*. Time to show the time-space continuum who's boss.
Get it from Anthropologie for $26.95 (originally $38).
32. A set of vintage-inspired glass mugs reviewers love to use for everything from coffee to yogurt parfaits to oatmeal to add a subtle little Great Gatsby-esque touch to their morning routines.
Promising review: "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs, these are perfect for me. Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" —Margarita Harutoonian
Get a set of two from Amazon for $16.99 (get this price by clipping the 20% off coupon on the product page; available in six styles).
33. A retro-style pixel art game Bluetooth speaker so beloved by reviewers that a ton of them are gifting it to loved ones. It serves not just a speaker, but as a tiny canvas to make your own pixel art, a game console, an alarm clock, and even a white noise machine. Oh — and any designs you make on the pixel art screen can dance along to the music you play!
Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes has to say about it: "I saw this exact Bluetooth speaker in probably dozens of TikToks before I picked one up myself, and I honestly can't recommend it enough if you like a cutesy aesthetic. The price might seem high for something that kind of sounds like a toy, but the second you pick it up, it's clear this is a high-quality piece of tech with a ton of functionality. Its speakers are powerful, its screen is bright and vibrant, and the companion app is simply packed with all sorts of customization options. There's programmable RGB lighting under the keyboard keys (which are real buttons), and you can pick from a ton of different clock faces as well!"
Get it from Amazon for $84.91+ (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in five colors).
34. A velvet accent chair to answer the question of "What if the furniture in the Mad Men office was actually cute?" Bonus: reviewers say it's super easy to assemble.
Promising review: “This chair is the cutest and is really comfortable too. Dusty pink color is exactly like in picture and fabric is super soft. Easy assembly — took probably 10 minutes. It shipped really fast too!” —Amazon Customer
