1. Some fairy string lights, because there's just something magical about what these do to a room at night. Hang them behind your bed, in front of a window, or string them up along the ceiling to create the coziest ambience while you curl up to read or watch a movie.
These look even prettier layered behind sheer curtains! Many reviewers say the cord is short, so you may want to pick up an extension cord if you don't already have one.
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 the string lights in warm white from Amazon for $17.74 (available in 10 colors).
2. A mini projector to turn your bedroom (or living room) into a cozy cave for watching movies and TV or playing video games, just by taking advantage of a plain white wall. It means you don't have to have a bulky TV, and it can connect to phones and laptops, streaming devices like Fire TV Stick and Roku, gaming consoles, and more!
This comes with a 100-inch projector screen to use if needed! It has built-in speakers for audio but can also connect to Bluetooth speakers or headphones if you have them. (Note: The Bluetooth is only for audio device connection, not smartphones.)
Check out an unboxing on TikTok!
Promising review: "Omg I love this so much. It’s compact and the internal audio and picture are both great quality. I decided to project directly onto my wall and it’s saving me so much space in my bedroom not having a TV on a stand and I didn’t want to hang one on the wall and fix those holes again. I plugged a Fire Stick directly into the projector and use my cable app to watch TV along with the streaming apps. I just love this." —Amazon Customer

3. A galaxy light designed to project the starry night sky onto your ceilings and walls, evoking the feeling that you've been transported to another world. It's perfect anytime you want some relaxing vibes and would also create a cool atmosphere for parties.
You can check out a similar galaxy projector being used in this TikTok! It comes *loaded* with options, with dual-projection lenses that can create 33 light effects, with five levels of brightness and flow speed. It also has eight white noise options and serves as a Bluetooth speaker too!
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!" —Sharanpreet
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four styles).
4. A raining cloud essential oil diffuser if rainy evenings are your absolute favorite — now you can bask in those vibes even if the night sky is clear. This diffuser is basically 2-in-1 relaxation, since you can add essential oils for aromatherapy on top of enjoying the trickling water sounds.
It features seven different colors for customizable mood lighting, three levels of brightness, and five water flow speeds. You can hear how the trickling water sounds in this reviewer video, and see it in action on TikTok.
Note: According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils.
Promising review: "I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days even with it running daily. It’s a solid 12/10 from me." —Violet
Get it from Amazon for $39.90.
5. And a "flaming" humidifier that's not actually on fire (so you won't accidentally wake up your whole building with smoke alarms), but it'll *look* like a tabletop fireplace with its mixture of steam and light. Like the option above, you can add a few drops of essential oils to this and settle in for one cozy evening.
Get a closer look on TikTok!
Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." —Benny
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).
6. A sunset lamp if you cherish the peaceful silence of night but enjoy the warm glow of a sunset — now you can have both at once. This TikTok-popular lamp drenches your room in rosy warm light, perfect for selfies and ~ambience~.
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. Oh, and this also comes in a multicolor option if you want to play around with other vibes beyond the standard orange glow, as shown on the right above!
See one in action in this TikTok!
Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light, but it's not too bright — I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycle. Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —amazon customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
7. A pair of hotel-quality pillows not only for sleeping, but for propping yourself up on while reading or watching Netflix late into the night. These cloud-like pillows are filled with plush gel fiber that provides just the right amount of support. (Oh, and did I mention they have over 160,000 5-star ratings??)
Promising review: "These had great reviews but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Now, mind you, I have one very cheap Walmart pillow behind it, so I'm not against my headboard, but even still. Heaven. I bought two but think that would be too much fluff, so now my husband and I each have one. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for." —Marissa Urey
Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in queen and king).
These are our budget pick for best pillow, btw!
8. And a shaggy faux-fur duvet cover lined with soft velvet on the underside (and grab a fluffy all-season duvet insert if you need one). With bedding this luxurious, who could blame you for wanting to stay curled up in bed all evening — and, heck, maybe hibernate the rest of the 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.
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 35 colors).
9. A bed canopy that'll make your bedroom feel like even more of cozy hideaway, and it adds a lil' extra privacy, too. If you always wanted one of these as a kid, now's the time to heal your inner child a little — because you're an adult, and it's your money to spend on things that make you happy.
Hang some vines and/or fairy lights to really add to that fairytale vibe! It can also help serve as a room divider. This particular one comes in a square shape (as shown above) or a dome shape (which you can see here).
Promising review: "So cute, so easy to install! Literally like four hooks and tie backs and you're done. Jazz it up with some twinkle lights (not included) and you are golden. I swear that, laying in bed at night, I feel like a princess. Especially because I always wanted one of these as a little girl. 😇" —Krystle
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in eight styles, including two shapes and a light-up version).
10. A headboard light to illuminate your late-night reading without needing a bulky nightstand or floor lamp. This lamp slides right onto your headboard, and there's even a cute little pull cord to turn it off. It's both a space-saving hack and a neat upgrade if you're often up late diving into your latest BookTok obsession.
This is designed to slide over headboards up to 1.5 inches thick but reviewers say it will stretch for larger headboards.
Promising reviews: "Great little headboard lamps. Make reading before going to sleep a joy. No more trying to find the right light angle." —Gurpreet
"I use it instead of the room ceiling lamp. It's very convenient for reading in bed without disturbing your partner's sleep, and you can adjust its position along the bed's headboard to suit your need." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (also available in a set of two).
11. Or a comfortable neck reading light that'll illuminate your reading material and not much else, if you have roommates or a snoozing partner nearby. Reviewers also love it for better lighting while crafting with their hands (crochet, cross-stitch, etc.) or even while typing on a keyboard in a dimly lit room!
Promising review: "I love this book light soooo much! I will never buy another kind again! It’s comfortable, adjustable, the charge lasts a long time, and it has different brightness and light color options. It has made my reading experience so much better at night. I don’t have to clip it on my books and ruin the pages or worry about it slipping off. I highly recommend this for bed readers or couch readers. And the ability to adjust the brightness and position the lights helps it to not disturb my partner when he sleeps." —Aime Mangone
Get it from Amazon for $17.50+ (available in eight colors).
12. Some gorgeous prismatic window film so no nosy passersby can peek at you in your PJs when you're lounging on your bed at midnight. It creates a cozy stained glass effect at night, and during the day (or when the headlights of passing cars shine through), it'll cast vibrant rainbows across the room.
Promising review: "Pictures cannot do this product justice. The colors are much more drastic when the sun or headlights at night hit this. It can look like stained glass. We needed an affordable fix for our side windows by the front door. Small custom blinds were very expensive, and curtain panels seemed old-school. We were looking for something unique. This privacy film is perfect and more artsy than we expected. We get compliments from friends and the bonus of rainbows on the wall or carpet on sunny mornings! It’s a vinyl cling, so it’s super easy to put on or take off." —Charmayne
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
13. A Himalayan salt lamp for a warm, gentle glow that'll add to your ambient lighting (just one more reason to never, EVER turn on the big light). Many people find them 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 $24.97.
14. The Wand, a mini handheld filter that'll let you indulge in that evening glass of merlot (if you so choose) without the dreaded headache and congestion that sometimes comes with it.
Promising review: "These are absolute magic! I can't believe I've been drinking red wine without these! I stir for 4–5 minutes just to be sure and that's it! No more headaches or feeling sick the next day. I drink two glasses of wine a night on occasion but I always feel sick the next day. But no more! These make the wine taste so much better too! I'm so happy with this product and have already ordered more!" —Amazon Customer
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99.
15. Some 24-karat gold collagen under-eye gels you can plop on while making dinner, reading a book, or just watching TV. They'll give your tired under-eyes some much-needed pampering and help reduce dark circles and puffiness — even if you're up until 2 a.m.
Promising review: "I have to say I was a skeptic on these but bought them anyway on a whim after seeing them on The Today Show. Much to my surprise I found they really did what they said they do. The puffiness under my eyes was substantially reduced and my skin felt much softer and moisturized. They're a great addition to your self-care." —janiem
Get 15 pairs from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in four other sets).
16. A bathtub caddy that'll inspire you to set a good hour aside for a relaxing bath and help you pull out all the stops: candles, a cold glass of wine, a bath bomb, and Netflix or a novel. And what better time to do this than at night, when no one can bother you?
It's not only size-adjustable to accommodate different tubs; it also comes equipped with a wineglass holder, edges that safely prop up a book or tablet, a candle holder, and extra space for whatever else your cozy heart desires.
Promising review: "When I placed my order for this tray I looked at the pics but did not realize how really cool this piece is. The ability to change the size is great, but I just love the different trays that are removable as well as the ability to put my phone and a Kindle in 'safe' areas of the tray. I found a perfect place for my TV remote should I want to watch TV and not read. I just got it and used it last night but it appears to be well-made, balanced, and offers versatility for the things you may want at your fingertips when taking a luxurious bath!" —SindiMcG
Get it from Amazon for $44.97 (available in 10 colors).
17. And a set of light-up bath fizzes in case you're not just trying to lean back and relax during a bath...you're trying to RAVE. In all seriousness, these'll add the coolest vibe to your bathtime ritual, and with their natural essential oils and moisturizing shea butter and coconut oil, your skin will get a nice pampering too.
These come in six different scents: lavender, aloe, ocean, rose, milk, and olayer.
Promising review: "Disco in my bath! This product is such a nice distraction from a stressful life! The scents are not overpowering light and soothing, they don’t seem to deposit rings a real plus with a soaker tub! But the best part save the little center bit and set aside for a real party with wine and candles. Sending these out to stressed family now as random pick me ups." —Katrin Sullivan
Get a set of six from Amazon for $20.99.
18. Vintage-style Edison bulbs because the *last* thing you want is the stark white "big light" harshing your late-night vibes. Instead, these'll produce a warm, romantic 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 reviews: "I am in the process of updating our bedroom — these bulbs were used in new lights we purchased. I love the warm glow and the vintage look of the bulbs. Will be purchasing more to keep on hand.
"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 $14.97+ (available in nine colors/styles and larger packs).
19. Or smart light bulbs you can program on a schedule to turn on automatically in the mornings, then reduce the brightness and change colors for evening ambiance. These 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.
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).
20. A lightweight height-adjustable tray table that'll solve the conundrum of wanting to work on your laptop or eat while lounging on the couch (and not wanting to crouch over your coffee table).
Table-Mate is a small business that specializes in height-adjustable table trays.
Promising reviews: "I love the table and do laptop work on it. The drink holder is an excellent bonus. Was easy to to assemble and the height is just right for late-night eating. If you don't have one, then you need to get this." —Thomas Smith
"It can be used for so many things. I paint at night while watching TV." —dd dean
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).
21. And a "Cup Cozy Pillow" in case you don't even have room for a coffee table — it can hold your remotes, drinks, and snacks so you can gather all the essentials for your Bridgerton binge without accidentally spilling your wine on the couch.
Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers.
Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.
Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
22. A game-changing, immersive Govee TV backlight that'll draw you into the action with vibrant, responsive lighting that seems to shift and move right along with what's happening on screen. Whether you're playing video games, watching movies, or jamming along to a concert film, it'll elevate the entire experience, especially in a dark room.
My boyfriend recently surprised me by upgrading my TV setup with this backlight, and I've been so impressed with its performance already, especially when watching movies or playing video games. It's important to follow the instructions closely to ensure the color-matching looks correct (and Govee has a great instructional video on this), but we had no issues. The setup includes light strips that go around the back of your TV and a camera that subtly hangs over your TV at the top, which might seem weird at first, but it doesn't cover your screen at all and you forget it's there in no time.
The VIBES are simply unmatched whenever this backlight is turned on. One of the first things we put on to test it was Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour on Disney Plus, and it really lived up to the promise of immersion, extending out all of the incredible lighting production almost like it was happening in my living room. I posted a clip of it on my Instagram Stories and had one person message me, "Wow, it's like you're at the show." It really was (and I didn't even have to drop $300+ for the experience).
I have several other Govee products (and this backlight incorporates with them all seamlessly via the Govee app), but this is easily my favorite piece of lighting I've bought from them yet. As a night owl myself, I highly recommend it for anyone who spends much of their evening hours parked in front of the TV!
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two sizes for TVs measuring 55"–85").
23. An oh-so-satisfying 1,000-piece puzzle for a hands-on activity so engaging, you might stay up even later than usual digging into its secrets. The "Secret Soup" design is jam-packed with whimsical details and 50+ Easter eggs to discover as you build, with a magical ~twist~ at the end that makes it so much more than it initially appears.
As a plus, this box doesn't have any of that annoying puzzle dust!
Promising review: "This puzzle was delightful from start to finish. The oddly shaped pieces, the story being told within it, the surprise ending puzzle, the checklist hunt, the mobility of the sections, and the characters and design all gave it — and me! — such life. Regular puzzles tend to bore or frustrate me but each time I worked on this, I was full of joy." —Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $22.99. And check out more of their popular puzzles here!
24. A loungewear set giving you the perfect 'fit for late-night lounging, but I wouldn't blame you for eventually just living in it (many reviewers already are) for how luxuriously soft it feels *and* looks. Watch out, Kim K — Skims has a seriously tempting competitor.
Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" —Jenna
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $54.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 25 colors).
25. A mesmerizing moon lamp letting you harness some celestial energy, perfect for adding ambient light to your nightstand or bookshelf. 🌙
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. 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 $15.99+ (available in seven sizes).
26. A collapsible microwave popcorn maker so you can treat yourself to ~gourmet~ popcorn at home for a fraction of the price, the perfect late-night snack when you just want to be a couch potato and binge your comfort show. It doubles as a serving bowl!
All you have to do is add generic kernels + whatever oils or butters you feel in your heart, and you'll be raring to go.
Promising review: "I love this little gadget and it's dishwasher safe. Will go down in my history as one of my best purchases ever. Best popcorn I ever had in only 2.5 minutes. One bowl of popcorn with small amount of butter and salt is now my go-to snack every night. Oh, and of course one ice-cold beer to go with it. Ha Ha! Life just got better." —Kindle Customer
Psst — if you're looking for way to add some pizzazz to your snack, check out BuzzFeed's ideas for flavoring popcorn!
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 21 colors).
27. Plus, a cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt to really kick your favorite movie snack up to the next level, letting you indulge in all that savory, salty, buttery goodness from your own couch. Close your eyes, and it'll *almost* feel like you're at the local AMC.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "Our family recently unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm."
Promising review: "I used to use Flavacol during my time working at an amusement park and popping popcorn for hungry guests, so I knew this was what the 'professionals' use. I am happy to report that using this does make your popcorn taste like it was just popped at a movie theater. I like to put a little bit of oil on my kernels, mix in some Flavacol, and then add it to the pot of oil on my stove top when it's hot enough (as opposed to sprinkling it on top of freshly popped corn, which I could see easily accidentally adding too much). It also means that I'm no longer loading up my popcorn with additional toppings like butter or plain salt. Yum!" —Kate R.
Get it from Amazon for $9.91.
28. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light so adorable! cottagecore! mushrooms! can guide you on your way to the bathroom at night so you're not stumbling over pets and bumping into furniture.
See it on TikTok!
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.
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
29. 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 $20.79+ (available in seven different sets).
30. A memory foam seat cushion if your evenings tend to involve hours spent gaming at your desk. The gel memory foam supports your bottom while reducing pressure on your tailbone, and reviewers say it's helped immensely with lower back pain (both from injuries and just from sitting all day). Basically, it's the best thing you'll do for your tushy all year.
Promising review: "Made a $60 PC chair feel luxurious. I bought a very low-budget ergonomic mesh pc chair and use this for some extra butt cushion. Helps so much. I had experienced some numbness after long gaming sessions on a cheap chair and this product completely fixed it. Will buy another once the one I have wears down." —123no
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors).
31. A microwave rapid cake maker for those late-night sweet tooth urges that having you tearing through your kitchen at midnight like "TIME TO BAKE." Provided you have half a box of grocery store cake or brownie mix on hand plus the necessary ingredients, this'll let you whip up a melt-in-your-mouth delicious treat in just SIX. MINUTES.
Rapid Brands is a California-based small business that specializes in dishwasher-safe, microwaveable, BPA-free kitchen products.
Promising review: "Amazing. Never in all my life did I believe I could find a product that combined my love of brownies and microwaving so seamlessly. It is inconceivably easy to use, and even comes with a multi-measuring device if you've nary a clean measuring cup in sight. Serves up the perfect single size amount of brownies one might tackle in one sitting on a typical Tuesday night (half batch of brownies). It might even be enough to share, if one is into that sort of thing. Thank you for all you do for this world." —Buyer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
32. A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a mesmerizing blend of jasmine, oud, and sandalwood that reviewers absolutely *rave* about (and compare to much pricier brands). It'll fill your home with the most heavenly scent — a key part of your after-dark relaxation and ~vibes~.
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. This candle is made with non-toxic vegan soy wax and a 100% cotton wick.
Promising review: "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table and even though it wasn't lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you. The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent. I even bought the shampoo and conditioner, which I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me!" —Melissa I.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in six sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).
33. 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

34. A popular checkerboard throw blanket, an *essential* accessory no matter where you decide to cozy up and enjoy your evenings. It'll look gorgeous in your space, but more importantly, it's luxuriously soft — so much so that reviewers compare it to the popular (but much pricier) Barefoot Dreams throw.
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

35. A pack of light-dimming stickers, because the only lights you want on are the cozy ones that are part of your ambiance, not the blinking lights from your electronics that are *not* the vibe (and just destined to keep you up when you do, eventually, try to sleep).
Promising review: "Did you ever get some kind of new electronics device that included an LED that you'd swear was bright enough to be used to send Morse code messages to Venus? Did you ever try to actually sleep with that device in your bedroom, where you're almost playing out Poe's 'A Tell-Tale Heart' in real life? Here's the solution to the problem. These small stickers come in various sizes and can be used to tame intolerably bright LEDs. The only trick is to use a small knife to remove them from the backing (taking care not to cut yourself). Once applied, the LEDs are nowhere near as bright. Of course, if you have a super-bright LED, you can always double up. Highly recommended." —A. Mullen

36. And finally, a pack of cabinet door bumpers to dull the sound of cabinets closing when you're grabbing some snacks out of your pantry or putting away dishes — your roommate who's an early riser will thank you.
Promising review: "I live in an apartment and they work so great. Now I can close my cabinets late at night without worrying if I am waking up the lady next door." —Kindle Customer
