Preserved moss was a better option than living as it requires no sunlight, no watering, and can be in a wet or dry environment. This is beautiful.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday and proceeded to buy five more copies to give to his friends because he thought it was so hysterical! It definitely takes a dry sense of humor to enjoy this book but it is worth the money! I wish I could include the video I took of my husband's reaction!

Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
26. A Five-Minute Journal (fun fact: it's made with recycled paper!) so you can write about all the fun you had during the day...by staying at home instead of going out and being social. Netflix isn't going to watch itself!
Promising review: "If you follow the instructions on this journal (don't skip the preface) you will start to change your way of thinking. Along with changing my eating habits and trying to appreciate the little things my life has been less stressful and I see myself being more positive. My resolution/goal this year was to cut out toxic people and toxic things and be more positive. This journal is one of the tools helping me achieve that. Thank you!" —Hb4139

Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $11.52.

Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (available in 13 styles).
33. A starburst chandelier, because bland lighting is the enemy of the rich and famous. You deserve a light as bold and brilliant as you are!
Promising review: "If you are not sure about this, let me assure you, it is a fantastic buy. I have been looking for something modern and eye-catching for my kitchen. Wayfair has similar light fixtures for triple the price. I have been looking for the right fixture for quite a while. This really brightens a room and pulls it together. The 12-bulb version is quite large, it works very well for a vaulted and sloped ceiling. I am so impressed with the quality, it looks fantastic in person and not to mention expensive." —Kim Andrew
Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (available in three sizes and finishes).

And if you're looking for a great duvet to fill this cover, here's a hypoallergenic option that reviewers love!
Promising review: "I have been looking for a terracotta jersey knit duvet cover forever and took a chance with this one. The color is great, a dark terracotta/rust color. It’s soft, but if I had to be knit-picky it isn’t as soft as other jersey knit fabrics I have felt. Shipping was surprisingly fast and the size was perfect for my queen bed. Overall I am happy with my purchase." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $63.09+ (available in three sizes and 21 colors).
35. And a cooling weighted blanket — this has a unique knitted pattern that creates the perfect balance of breathability and heavy comfort. This thing is gorgeous *and* it's gonna help you feel calm as can be when life has you feeling frazzled.
Promising review: "Previous weighted blankets I've tried were too hot to use in warmer weather and made it difficult to move in my sleep, which I do. The wide open knit of the Tree Napper provides excellent airflow and flexes to allow me freedom of movement without sacrificing the weight of the blanket itself. I love it." —Meredith B.
Get it from Bearaby for $269+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).
36. A minimalist tissue box cover so you can keep your new apartment looking upscale and elegant, even when you need a little reminder of home.
This works with square tissue boxes, be sure to grab ones that fit!
Promising review: "I'm in a dorm room and wanted to keep my color scheme going throughout the room (white/blush/gold), and multi-colored tissue boxes can look chaotic in such a small space. It's cute and functional." —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $8 (available in two colors).

Get it from Papa Rozier Farms for $62.
40. A pack of 24 retro Halloween postcards that'll easily double as decor if you're of the belief that holidays only count if your home is covered from head to toe in some festive fun!
I love decorating for the holidays but I try to keep things thrifty. These cards were just what I was looking for! I use them as decor (my kitchen is pictured above, right). They fill a lot of space when on display, without taking up basically any storage space during the rest of the year.
Promising review: "These are quite beautiful and I almost don't want to send them out because I like them so much. They are a very classic style so if you're looking for scary cards these may not be what you're looking for. Since they are reprints of old vintage styles, some of them are not as crisp. The photos are mostly drawn in that style to begin with so it's not something that detracts from them in the slightest. Overall they are worth the money and I'd definitely buy them again." —Jama Lama
Get 24 from Amazon for $15.99.
41. A faux-wood tea light candleholder you ~wood~ be sorry to miss out on! This decor is as cozy as it gets! Throw this in your nonfunctioning fireplace and turn it into a spot worth cuddling up beside when it's cold out.
Promising review: "We do not use our fireplace and we were tired of the bare look. We decided to give the fireplace area a little glam and this piece looks amazing in it. We are using LED tea lights until we purchase some tea light candles in glass holders. The LED lights still look great though, and we LOVE it!" —TM
Get it from Amazon for $79.95+ (available in birch and oak designs).
42. A squiggle frame that'll make you so happy every time you see it your stomach will get all squiggly inside. I love that for you.

Promising review: "This is an absolute beauty! I am beyond impressed. It’s an elegant and classic piece to own. It arrived two weeks earlier than expected; that was a pleasant surprise.
