1. Some fairy string lights, because there's just something magical about what these do to a room at night. It'll give your home the coziest ambiance while you curl up to read or watch a movie, and make it feel a bit like Christmas year-round.
Many reviewers say the cord is short, so you may want to add an extension cord to your cart if you don't already have one. You can also layer them behind sheer curtains to diffuse the light for a softer effect!
Promising review: "I love these lights! The settings are so much fun and add excitement to a room when you have guests. The light is so warm and makes it feel so cozy inside! I love to turn off all of the other lights in my apartment and just have these lights going when I am watching a movie. It creates a great warm glow but isn't too bright to wash out the movie. They are also a fun background for pictures!" —J_Thill
Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 10 styles and two sizes).
2. Or a single strand of globe lights for draping in front of a window, across shelving, along a balcony, around a potted plant — anywhere that could use some soft lighting. You (and your guests) will feel more serene just looking at them.
They have eight light settings (including twinkle, steady on, and waves) for a little extra fun too! They're even waterproof to use outside.
Promising review: "Love these lights! They add such a warm, inviting glow to my room. I'm so happy with my purchase. They also arrived quickly and totally intact; I definitely would buy these again." —Amazon Customer
Get a 49.2-foot strand of globe lights from Amazon for $17.99 (also available in longer lengths, a multicolor style, and plug-in or battery-operated).
3. Plus, fake ivy so you can embrace greenery as part of your cozy aesthetic (even if you can't keep real plants alive). It looks beautiful on its own or paired with string lights, making your home truly feel like a calming oasis.
Promising review: "I ordered these for my dorm. They came in single strings for me to hang. I paired them with some curtain lights. They were easy to hang, lightweight, and look great! The smell is a little much once you first open the bag; however I do not smell anything now that they’re up." —Meghan Roum
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two lengths).
4. Vintage-style Edison bulbs to replace the stark white lighting in your lamps and sconces. The'll produce a soft warm glow — bright enough for reading, but not to the point of blinding you. They're fully dimmable too!
Hudson Bulb Co. is a small business that specializes in vintage bulbs and other types of lighting.
Promising review: "Due to some old wiring in our home, LED lights/bulbs tend to flicker. The incandescent Edison-style bulbs were the perfect solution. I like that they aren't too bright for our dining room and give off a warm, cozy, vintage feel (not bright daylight feel)." —Becky Phelps
Get a four-pack for $15.97+ (available in clear or amber glass, and other styles).
5. Or smart light bulbs you can set to soft white in the mornings, then play around with fun colors for evening ~ambiance~. You can program them on a schedule to turn on and off at the same times every day, and they work with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri for voice control (plus the Govee app)!
You never have to wake up or come home to a dark apartment again with these preprogrammed light bulbs! And you can control all of your light bulbs from a single app.
I've not used these exact smart light bulbs, but I'm a huge fan of Govee products in general (you'll see more than one in this list) and can vouch for their app — it has a ton of cool lighting presets and ~scenes~ you can play around with to really set the mood. You're paying a little more than the cheapest options on the market but getting a ton of bang for your buck, and still paying much less than you would for Philips Hue bulbs (which are great, but not in everyone's budget).
Promising review: "So many options and settings, in a good way. I tried competing products and these smoke the competition. I have replaced nearly all of the bulbs in my apartment and can now change the lighting, by zone, as I please. Additionally, I can share the account info with my girlfriend so she can change the lighting too." —T-Rizzle
Get a four-pack of smart light bulbs from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in a single-pack).
6. A set of ultra-soft corduroy pillow covers to cozy up your bed or couch. They'll accent your color scheme or other decorative pillows *and* give you an excuse to take way more midday naps.
I own these in THREE shades and can vouch that they're *so* soft and not just for looks (but they look cute too!). I was so tired of getting decorative throw pillow covers that were cute but scratchy and not at all pleasant to lay your head on, and these fit the bill perfectly. They're a permanent fixture on my couch now and I've taken many a nap on them, and they'd be great on a bed too. I also love having the option to swap them out seasonally!
Psst — these are covers, so be sure to grab throw pillow inserts if you need them! For the fluffiest pillow, opt for an insert that's 2 inches bigger than your cover (so if you get an 18x18-inch cover, you'll want a 20x20-inch insert for optimal fluffiness).
Promising review: "I bought the orange rectangular ones to go with some fall printed pillow covers. They were really just for decoration, but they are super soft and cozy! They fit very snug on the pillows I had. I really like them; in fact, I bought a square set in green to go with my Christmas decor! Would definitely recommend." —gb
Get a set of two 18x18 covers from Amazon for $13.99 (available in nine sizes and many colors).
7. A popular checkerboard throw blanket — I'm absolutely *living* for the sage green shade, but it comes in other beautiful colors as well. Reviewers consider it a great alternative to the popular Barefoot Dreams throw (which is p-r-i-c-e-y) and say it's extremely soft.
Promising review: "This blanket beats others because it is softer (a buttery and fluffy feeling), it is long enough for a 5'10 tall person, it is not too light and not too heavy (works year-round in Virginia), and it has a stretch to the material that I haven’t experienced with other soft blankets. The design is just so-so, but the colors are nice, and the price is right. If they updated the designs with more colors, patterns, then these would be absolutely perfect. I like this as much as my much more expensive Barefoot Dreams blanket and Williams Sonoma faux-fur blanket." —JH
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven colors and four sizes).
8. A large, heavy faux-fur throw blanket you can really wrap up in — this isn't one of those skimpy throws that barely covers your legs. A big, soft blanket will be your best friend on gloomy days when you just want to curl up on the couch.
This is one of my personal favorite blankets, and it is truly INCREDIBLE. I keep it on my bed, and it makes the entire room feel cozier. It's not just for show either — it's heavier and thicker than the average throw blanket; I use it as an extra layer on freezing-cold NYC nights. It's large enough to really wrap up in for warmth, too. It's ultra-soft, feels really durable, and looks just as beautiful in person. If you're ready to invest in a higher-quality throw, this one's worth every penny IMO. Here's what other people have to say about it:
More promising reviews: "I own three of these myself and just bought the blush as a gift. This blanket is so soft and cozy, you won't want to leave the couch once you're cuddled up in it. Beyond happy with the quality and vivid, rich colors. Once you buy one, you'll be back for more!" —Nor13
"The best throw blanket ever! I'm one tall chica, and I have had trouble with blankets being too tiny but this one is perfect! I love the ochre color and the softness/plushness does not disappoint. My family, friends, and fur babies all love to use it. Buy it — you won't regret it at all!" —biggirlbritt
Get it from Anthropologie for $98 (available in 10 colors).
9. And a sleek leaning ladder for hanging your extra blankets in cozy-chic way, both for storage and display!
People also use this for storing those kinda-dirty-but-not-dirty-enough-to-wash-yet clothes you normally toss onto that chair (you know the one).
Promising review: "I was a little hesitant to spend this much on this product, but glad I did. Now my tiny bedroom looks a little more polished because I have eliminated the not-quite-dirty-clothes pile-on-the-chair-or-floor, and instead have this stylish ladder where I can neatly hang my clothes...and it looks lovely. It literally took a little anxiety away." —Diane
Get it from Amazon for $64+ (available in two colors).
10. Or a cute cotton basket to stash extra blankets and throw pillows in — it'll be like a big pile of cozy next to your couch or bed, and guests can easily grab from it to get comfy.
I have a similar one in my living room and love having a spot to store all my extra blankets while still keeping them close at hand. Just a heads up that if you have any cats, they might make this their new snooze spot!
Promising review: "This basket is perfect for blankets. It came smooshed up in a bag, but shaped up easily when I put the blankets in it. It adds a perfect touch of coziness to my living room." —Laura Ragsdale
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six colors).
11. A mesmerizing moon lamp letting you harness some celestial energy — it's perfect for adding ambient light to your bookshelf or to serve as a night light in your bedroom.
See it on TikTok!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has nothing but good things to say about this lamp: "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. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases."
Promising review: "I love this lamp so much! The remote is easy to understand and has so many settings. I like using it on a warm setting as a nightlight to wind down after a long day; the white setting also helps me wake up in the morning. You can use the remote to control the brightness, so it makes any room cozy and I really, really enjoy it. Definitely buy this if you're looking for something to make your room comfortable and relaxing!" —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine sizes).
12. A TikTok-famous sunset lamp that'll make it look like golden hour 24/7, drenching the room in rosy warm light even on winter's shortest days.
The distance determines how wide and intense the light is — position it farther away for a softer diffused light, or closer up to focus the colorful beam on a specific spot.
Promising review: "Immediately, out of the box, it makes any room more aesthetically pleasing. It's such a simple but beautiful light to make your room feel cozy. The warm color also adds calm and serenity to your space. I am so satisfied with it, I will be buying another. My space has weird geometric angles and this light makes them feel even cooler." —-jordan_
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three styles).
13. Tufted chenille cushion for extra seating while everyone's drinking wine, eating snacks, and catching up. You can also set them on hard chairs for extra comfort, and they'll help cozy up the look of your entire space. (Just don't be surprised if your cat claims them as their new bed.)
Promising review: "We bought a small, one-bedroom condo and have a pullout couch for guests when they stay the night. When we have more people over, these work great as extra seating in our modest living room and stack great in the corner when we’re not using them! They are super cozy and comfy! Just the right amount of cushion!" —Keri Brewer
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in eight colors).
14. A shaggy faux-fur duvet cover lined with soft velvet on the underside. With bedding this luxurious, who could blame anyone for wanting to hibernate...the whole year.
One side is faux-fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two. If you need a duvet insert, here's a highly rated hypoallergenic option designed for all seasons!
Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK
Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 34 colors).
15. And some Eddie Bauer flannel sheets giving them the coziest place to drift off to dreamland if they're staying the night. Made of 100% cotton flannel and brushed three times for *extra* softness, these'll keep them comfortably warm on chilly nights, but hot sleepers swear they don't overheat in these either.
Promising review: "I am a first-time flannel sheet purchaser. Over the years I have purchased many Eddie Bauer clothing items and choose to purchase Eddie Bauer sheets because I know their products are quality. The woodland animals with scarves are adorable. Originally, I purchased them for my rental cabin. I wanted my guests to feel comfortable in the cooler weather. I needed to 'test' them before letting my guess sleep on them. Last night I made my own bed with them. I am a hot sleeper and usually have linen bedding. I was worried flannel sheets would make me feel too hot and would cause me to have a poor night's sleep. I found out I certainly was wrong. The sheets were so cozy, not too hot and I had the best night's sleep in a week. Oh, my goodness, now I suppose I need to order another set of sheets to keep on hand for my cabin guests! I LOVE these soft and cozy sheets. Thank you, Eddie Bauer. You have converted me over to your flannel sheets for the cool winter months." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $29.93+ (available in sizes twin–king and 20 patterns).
16. A Govee neon rope light to incorporate super customizable lighting that doubles as unique wall decor. Its bendable design lets you twist it into all sorts of neat shapes, and by using an app, you can program it to all sorts of color combos and lighting effects! The cozy glow this gives at night is unmatched.
Several reviewers compare these to Hue LightStrips and say these are even better, especially for a fraction of the price! Get a closer look at these on TikTok — the reviewer shows how easy they are to put on the wall.
I'd been eyeing this rope light for ages and finally picked it up recently. It's everything I'd hoped it would be and more. First of all, it's SOOO easy to put on the wall — it comes with these little adhesive plastic brackets that you just slide onto the rope and then press against the wall, and continue adding them as needed to support the shape you're making. I stuck with a basic wave shape for mine as I have it mounted underneath a gallery shelf and wanted to keep it simple, but it wouldn't have been difficult to create a more elaborate design! The Govee app makes it so easy to program the lighting however I like, and it's upgraded my nighttime cozy vibes in a MAJOR way. I highly highly recommend if you're looking to improve your ambient lighting beyond just buying more lamps!
Promising review: "These lights are literally amazing!! Not only are they super vibrant and bright, but there are also so many ways to customize them. The app has a ton of settings and colors to choose from, and they work great with my Google Nest. They come with metal bracket-type things that adhere well to the wall without needing screws or nails, although they are provided if you need extra support. Installation and setup were so easy. I definitely recommend these and can't say enough good things about them!!" —Stephi
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in two lengths).
17. And (also from Govee) LED strips for adding backlighting to your monitor or TV, which will take your evening ambience to the next level. It does more than just look cool, though — adding backlighting can help reduce eye strain by reducing the contrast between your screen's brightness and the rest of the room!
These come with a 24-key remote that controls the 16 different colors and four dimmable modes. Note: You can apply the strips under or around your desk too!
Promising review: "I purchased these to backlight my computer monitors and they work great. Very easy to apply (peel and stick) and easy to configure. 16 different colors, including white, can be selected via the remote control plus dimming. I think that background lighting can be more useful for computer monitors since you sit so much closer to them than your television. Also, the light given off by your monitor tends to be harsher since you are often viewing documents or other scenes with a white background. I'm thinking of purchasing longer strips of these lights to use as under-cabinet kitchen lighting or even to illuminate the toe-kick area. You could set different moods by adjusting the intensity and color." —GMak
Get a 6.5-feet strip from Amazon for $21.99.
18. A faux sheepskin rug you can lay across an accent chair or ottoman, on the floor beside your bed, in front of the fireplace — anywhere you want to inject with some serious "hygge" (a Danish word referring to a mood of coziness and contentment).
Heads up that if you have any pets, wherever you place this will *probably* become their new favorite nap spot.
Promising review: "This little rug is beautiful, and of great quality! Within about a minute of unpacking it onto our ottoman, our cat claimed it as her own. She loves this rug. I have washed it once, and it's held up very well, and fluffed back out to like it was when it was new. I originally purchased this as I'm trying to 'hygge' our home, and I'm so pleased with the quality and look of it that I ordered another one for the back of the sofa." —jcampbella
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in many sizes and colors).
19. A set of flameless candles to enhance your mood lighting while also tricking your entire family and any visitors into thinking they're real (at least at a glance), since the "flame" actually flickers.
These require two AA batteries each, so you may want to pick up a pack of batteries if you don't already have a bunch lying around. They come with a little remote for turning them on/off and putting them on a timer.
Promising review: "I cannot say how much I love these candles. I bought two more sets the night after I got my first set. They have made my house so cozy, and created such a homey environment. They honestly have helped transform the look of my home and I wish I could afford to cover my entire house in them. I loved them so much then I discovered the flicker setting. They look like real candles when you do this setting. It’s amazing. 10/10." —Emily Henegar
Get them from Amazon for $20.38+ (available in eight different sets).
20. Fake antlers you can mount for a rustic antique-y touch — place them by the front door as storage for keys and jackets, in the bedroom for holding necklaces, or in the bathroom for hanging towels on.
Promising review: "Ordered one a year ago and ordered another recently. It's very heavy duty; I didn’t use the anchors that came with it. Good for a cozy and rustic vibe 😊." —Christina Smith
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four styles).
21. A set of macrame plant hangers — hang some of your precious plant bbs in these by a sunny window to save space *and* keep nibbling-prone pets from taking bites out of them. By elevating your plants, they really become a gorgeous piece of decor; plus, these hangers will help show off your prettiest planters by bringing them up to eye level!
I am a Lazy Plant Mom who used to let my new plants sit around in the plain pots they came in for wayyy too long, but since I finally got around to transferring them into cute pots and hanging some of them, it's made *such* a huge difference in my home. I've now bought this set of macrame hangers twice, and they were super easy to install all on my own; it took me (as someone who is *not* good with a drill) maybe five minutes tops per hanger. Each hanger has a slightly different design for a varied look, and they are super sturdy! I have a HEAVY ceramic pot holding a big golden pothos in one of my hangers, and it's holding up just fine. Trailing plants look particularly striking when hung, but I have some of my smaller plants in these hangers too and they look great! And as a cat mom, these let me hang my non–pet safe plants so they're out of reach of my curious kitties as well.
Get the set of four from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors).
22. Or an acrylic plant hanger if you have a lot of smaller plants currently crowding your windowsill. Not only does this give them direct access to whatever natural light you have in the room, but it also makes a beautiful way of displaying them (and out of reach of the cat).
The acrylic unit comes pre-assembled and secures with a single fastener.
Indoor Window Gardens is a small, family-owned business based in South Carolina.
Promising reviews: "We love our new shelves! They give us much-needed space in our front window for our plants, while keeping them high enough to prevent the cat's access to them!" —Mary Skene
"So far I’ve purchased two! They are easy to install and if you are clumsy like me you can flip the shelves upside down to have a lip around the plants to ensure you don’t drop any while fixing blinds!!!" —kowalczyka527
Get it from Indoor Window Gardens on Etsy for $74+ (available in three shelf sizes and four mounting styles).
23. A wireless library light to illuminate wall art and photos, because they deserve to be admired even at night! It's less than $30 but adds such a luxe touch to your space.
The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation your self. Each unit runs off of three AAAs (get a 36-pack here before you forget!) and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.
A tip from my colleague Chelsea Stuart: "If you're going for an antique look but don't have the budget to buy vintage, I saw a TikToker DIY these with some gold Rub 'n Buff metallic finish and an old makeup brush and it looked truly incredible!"
Promising review: "For the price you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in three colors).
24. A Himalayan salt lamp for a warm, gentle glow to brighten the darkest of rooms. Many people find them oddly soothing and feel their mood improved by their presence.
Promising review: "Absolutely adore this lamp! I almost want to purchase one for every room and as a gift for every friend. It casts such a pretty, soothing light and I love the dimmer. I doubt that, from a scientific perspective, the amount of number ions released really does much as far as 'air purification' goes, but it is a lovely mood-lifting addition to any room." —E. Bee
Get it from Amazon for $23.98.
25. A wireless keyboard and mouse set I've spotted in the background of countless TikTok desk setups. It adds such a lovely pop of color, taking your workspace from bland to — dare I say — a little cozy??
The set includes a wireless keyboard and mouse with a USB receiver for a 2.4GHz connection. Pick up some AA batteries; both will need them!
You can check out how the clicking sounds in this TikTok.
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing keyboard. Colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting on their own to come in now after seeing mine. Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well. Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quick, but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse and it's on again. I have had mine for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style!" —Nikki Bell
Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in 12 styles).
26. Plus, a dreamy, viral cloud wrist rest from Logitech's gorgeous Aurora collection to protect your wrists from that hard desk edge. If your home office desk doubles as a gaming setup, this'll help you achieve that popular ~cozy~ aesthetic that's probably all over your FYP.
Check out an unboxing on TikTok!
This little beauty is available only from the Logitech store on its own — elsewhere, you can get it as part of a bundle with the G713 wired or G715 wireless mechanical keyboard (also pictured above), which I personally own and use every day for work! It's a fantastic keyboard with a sleek, customizable look, since Logitech sells colorful top plates you can switch in and out. But if you aren't ready to upgrade your keyboard, you can still get the cute cloud wrist rest separately! It makes typing all day sooo much more comfortable, and even though I've been using it for a long time now, it still looks as good as the day I got it!
Get it from Logitech for $19.99.
27. And a large desk mat to draw the whole look together, especially if your desk setup is in the middle of your living room (like mine) and visible to guests. It's as practical as it is cute, since it'll help protect your desk from scratches and spills and doubles as a mousepad.
This particular mat measures 31.5 inches long and 15.75 inches wide, which is the exact size of mat I use — I love going for a larger size like this because it completely fits my keyboard with enough space to use as a mouse pad, too. Because my desk setup sits in the middle of my living room (due to living in a one-bedroom apartment), it gets a lot of attention (and compliments) from anyone who visits my apartment, so I've put in extra effort to make it feel like the coziest little corner by investing in things like desk mats and other decor.
Promising review: "I recently purchased this desk mat, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Not only does it protect my desk surface from scratches, but it also adds a touch of style to my workspace. The quality of the material is excellent, providing a smooth and comfortable surface for both my mouse and keyboard. It stays in place and doesn't slide around, which is a big plus. The size is perfect, giving me plenty of room to work and organize my essentials. Overall, this desk mat has greatly improved my desk setup, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their workspace." —Megs
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 20 styles).
BTW! If you're not a fan of these designs, Amazon has all sorts of plain-colored desk mats and other designs — I'm betting you can find one that'll work well for your space!
28. A darling mushroom stool (a toadstool, if you will) that simply BELONGS in any cozy living space. It'd make the best footrest so you can stretch your legs out for comfort — a lot of people like using it under their desk for that reason too!
TikTok is obsessed with this mushroom ottoman — check out an unboxing!
Promising review: "I got this as a foot/leg rest underneath my desk and it's amazing as I constantly fidget in my seat, it's helpful to extend my legs and keep them elevated. Not to mention it's super cute, I love mushrooms! very happy with it and it delivered in perfect condition." —Nicole
Get it from Target for $120 (available in two colors).
29. A simple weighted stopper because cold drafts are the enemy of cozy vibes — this cute lil' guy will help keep the room warmer *and* make everyone smile every time they walk by. BTW, if you have chilly air coming through the side of your door, you can also use the loop to hang this from the doorknob to block the draft!
Promising reviews: "I liked that this came in a darker color and was weighted on the bottom. It's very sturdy and decorative as well. I needed to quench the cold air from coming into the living room area. No need to use adhesion to keep it in place, it stays in place very well! Living in the Northeast can bring some frigid weather, so I like that it's an inexpensive option and easy to use. It has loops on the ends to hang when not in use." — Hope Beacon
"I hadn't realized how much cold air came in along the SIDE of the door. The handles make it perfect to hang from the doorknob and let the body cover the cold. Thank you!" —Tay Scott
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight styles and six sizes).
30. An eye-catching lunar garland to add a beautiful, eye-catching pop of metallic gold to an empty wall. This boho decor would look *so* lovely above a bed or fireplace mantel, or below a shelf.
Base Roots is a small business that creates a variety of pretty and affordable home decor. Reviewers praise the quality of their products for the price!
Promising review: "I love this piece so much! Hung it in my bedroom above my bed, and it just adds an elegant and cozy element. It came in a easy to open box with a sweet thank you note on top. I also started looking at some other things from their website, and from what I can see they’re all decently priced and look amazing!" —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (also available in three other styles).
31. A WoodWick "Fireside" candle — its enchanting scent and crackling sound will transport you to a cozy campfire on a brisk winter night, surrounded by friends making s'mores and reminiscing on years past.
I ordered this WoodWick candle in the larger size recently, and already know I'll be coming back for more. The scent is so incredible and genuinely fills the whole room, and it has that cozy crackling sound thanks to the wooden wick that I adore. I feel like it'll last me a while too, so it's totally worth the price.
Promising review: "I can confidently say that the WoodWick 'Fireside' candle is hands-down my favorite candle of all time! Its enchanting scent instantly transports me to the warmth and coziness of a crackling campfire. The moment I lit this candle, I was captivated by its inviting aroma. The fragrance fills the room with a perfect balance of smoky notes and subtle hints of wood. It truly evokes the nostalgic feeling of sitting by a cozy campfire, roasting marshmallows, and sharing stories with loved ones. The unique feature of this candle is the crackling wooden wick, which adds an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. The gentle crackling sound is reminiscent of the flickering flames, creating an ambiance that is truly mesmerizing and comforting." —Gabby Tess
Get it from Amazon for $16.87+ (available in a medium or large size).
32. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light because this night-light is the CUTEST THING I've ever seen (and personally own), and aside from adding a cute, cottagecore touch to your space, it'll *also* provide a cozy glow at night.
Hello, I bought this night-light on a whim a few months ago and it might be the best $6 I've ever spent in my life. I have it plugged into an outlet near the floor of my kitchen, near my cats' water fountain and food bowls, and it surprisingly provides a good amount of light to see by — not to mention looking absolutely ADORABLE. Seriously, I have to take a moment to appreciate this light every time I walk into the kitchen at night — the way it changes colors is so beautiful! And I *love* that it adds some extra light near the ground for my cats to see their food and water, too. The light flips on automatically when it gets dark, so you don't have to remember to turn it on and off. Also, you might have to gently pull apart / "fluff" the leaves and mushrooms a bit since they come a bit squished inside the packaging, but they'll take on a good shape in no time.

Promising review: "We use it to sleep with at night, as a background light for our dance videos, or simply on dark, cloudy days. It brilliantly illuminates the room, and the colors are vibrant and playful. I appreciate the variety of options it offers, including numerous patterns and glow lights. It's truly fantastic!" —Sharan

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 $79.99+ (available in three frame colors and an RGB lighting option).

Shh, no one needs to know you've haven't finished a book in six months.
Covogoods is a woman-owned small business based in Utah.
Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one and I’ve been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme

36. Prismatic window film for covering any windows where you could a lil' extra privacy — it'll also allow the sun to cast gorgeous rainbows across the room during the day and create the coziest stained glass effect at night.
Promising review: "I live in an apartment community and I wanted to find a solution to cover up my windows without using my blinds/curtains. Let me just say...wow! This beyond exceeded my expectations. Not only does it give me the privacy I need, but the way the lights reflect in the daytime AND nighttime is just breathtaking! In the morning when the sun shines through, tiny little rainbows get casted all over the bedroom! At night it looks so cozy, warm, and has a beautiful, realistic stained glass look to it." —Katie Coyle

Promising review: “Simple but elegant. I knew I'd enjoy having these in the window, but I was not expecting the level of enjoyment and calm that they help provide. The rainbows caused by the refracting light truly is magical." —Amir Makieli

You can choose between 80-bag or 120-bag stands with eight or 12 removable bins, respectively. Also, multiple reviewers split this in two to mount them all the way vertically as a DIY solution!
BTW, YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz!
Promising review: "Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But, as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I recently received my diffuser and it is now one of my favorite purchases I’ve made! I love the whole look of it and purpose. It’s very cozy-looking and the perfect size and shape. I love the rotating LED light colors to give it some fun/calm vibes during the night. It definitely is a natural destressor and creates a relaxing atmosphere in a room! Love it." —Tiffany M.
