1. A cute tissue box cover you'll wanna keep this box stocked at all times because of how fun it is to pull tissues out of the chimney.
Here's why BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves these:
"I, an adult woman, cannot remember the last time I bought a box of tissues for my home (though I have several purse packs?!). It may have been when I most recently had a sinus infection, which I guess was two-plus years ago. But now that I’m playing house as a grown-ass person in an apartment to myself, I’m trying to be *responsible*. So obviously buying this whimsical tissue box cover we’ve featured in a million BuzzFeed shopping posts is peak adulting.
"Perhaps the reason I’ve been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just look...kind of ugly out in the open. But not with this lil’ cover! Now it’s a ~design element~ that I’ll hopefully remember to keep full. For now, it’s filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment’s closet while packing; it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now. But I can live with that. And with my not-snotty nose."

2. A lovely, yet inexpensive (under $8) beaded garland with tassels you can simply drape around plant pots and candle holders, hang on walls and doorknobs, or arrange on a decor tray to add an extra touch of style to any parts of your home that just need a little *something*.

14. A pack of lightweight glue-on foam ceiling tiles that'll make it look like you had your entire ceiling redone when you did no such thing. Say goodbye to your ol' popcorn ceiling and say hello to your space's whole new persona.
Promising review: "If you’re even considering doing it, JUST DO IT!! I can’t even begin to tell you how easy this was, and the end result is mind-blowing! When people come over (we’re remodeling our newly purchased home built in 1865), their jaws drop. We put this in the sunroom/eat in kitchen area. We love it so much we’ll be doing it in the bar area of the dining room.
When you actually get them on the ceiling and look at your finished product, you’d never guess it’s styrofoam. Caulking between the tiles was crucial to giving its overall look. That was the most difficult part. My advice (from watching hours of YouTube videos and doing research) is to find the center of the ceiling and work your way out. It took us two hours to do a fairly large space. We definitely overestimated how many it would take, but I’m glad we had extra on hand in case we messed one up. Also — make sure your blade is SHARP!" —Steven

15. A Dali clock if your home could use a touch of the surreal. Rest this ~melting~ clock on any flat surface to make checking the time much more fun.
Promising review: "This is an awesome clock for anyone who loves Dali and surrealist art. It is a great value for the money considering it is super cool and seems to be good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble which is very cool. The metallic part is also plastic which is fine. It ticks a bit loudly, but I personally like that. I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." —Zach

It gives an elegant look to your decor while adding a beautiful aroma to your house! Definitely going to stock up for different rooms in the house! 🤩" —Adrianna Franco
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in a variety of scents).

Promising review: "I am a candle snob, and I can say without a second thought that Capri Blue are my favorite candles of all time. I have one in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. I gift them often for housewarming (pun intended) gifts or just because. They're the perfect addition to a home, and they SMELL SO GOOD, Y'ALL. Absolutely recommend these candles to everyone." –Jen

Promising review: "I’ve been wanting to upgrade our garage door for a long time and now I have no idea why I waited! The magnets are super strong. Purchased two sets but only used one set of 'handles,' I wasn’t a fan of how close I had to place each set next to each other with the narrow spacing on the door itself. Paired with the magnetic 'windows,' it looks like a brand new door!" —MrsPirate

Promising reviews: "Beautifully crafted and gorgeous. Sometimes when I see something crafted, I think "I could make that".

Fell in love with it for my pantry — now I need to step up my pantry decoration to match my new hanging basket!!!" —Elizabeth Dourough
"It is absolutely beautiful and well made, the yarn soft but sturdy. I love the details. I used this fruit basket as a plant hanger and it's perfect for my space (I have cats that love to eat plants so everything has to be up high)." —N C

Promising review: "I originally bought the 7-inch moon for my husband as a gift of 'I love you to the moon and back' for our anniversary... Well, I loved his moon so much that I kept stealing it from our bedroom and taking it to the living room. So I bought myself the 5.9-inch moon to compare sizes and have one to call my own. As it turns out, the slightly smaller 5.9-inch one is just as amazing as the 7-inch.
"These moons charge up fast with a cord (with a cool 'blue moon' color when charging) and then once charged, they are completely free from cords or any connection dependence. They light up with a very detailed real moon surface design in white or yellow, and it will totally mesmerize you. You can literally 'hold the whole moon in your hand' and use it as a cordless and battery-free lamp, a nightlight, a lantern or a quasi-candle in the dark. The wood stand is sleek and super easy to assemble and is a perfect accent to any room décor." —Amazon Customer

35. A hidden bookshelf — it'll turn your prized book collection into a bookworm's dream display so you can admire them daily and show them off to all your guests.
Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere
Get it from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in two sizes and in sets of one or three).
36. Some vinyl faux-marble gloss contact paper for adding a glossy finish and extra character to desks, counters, photo frames, and other surfaces that'll make them look way more expensive than they actually are.
Promising review: "This wrap completely transformed my desk! I had to order two to cover everything, but nonetheless, my desk looks amazing, and everyone who walks into my room notices. It's not a super-thin vinyl, so if there are tiny imperfections/scratches where you want to place it, it will be covered! I've never used a vinyl wrap before so I was a little nervous, but surprisingly, it was super easy to apply and I finished up in less than 10 minutes." —Shan

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, so it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I’d definitely recommend it to others." —Carmelita Joy
