    33 Things That'll Add A Little Something Special To Your Home

    Add a little something something for your home sweet home.

    1. cotton knit duvet cover so you can cover up your old duvet and make your bedroom look dreamy, even if you only sloppily make the bed.

    Amazon

    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 terra-cotta/rust color. It’s soft, but if I had to be nit-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 $58.01+ (available in three sizes and 23 colors).

    2. A board game book that'll be hidden in plain sight on your bookshelf, blending in with your color-coded, A-type decor seamlessly. Candyland just got so much cooler.

    Looking for a version of your favorite game? WS Game Company has a great selection of these brilliant "books!"

    Promising review: "These have adorable vintage designs! Sturdy pieces. The board is ripping a bit but we’ve played this dozens of times with our toddler so I suppose that’s expected. Definitely more pricey than the cheap version you could get for $10 at any big store but honestly it’s worth it to me. It lasts so much longer and it's easier to store. Having it in our front room on the bookshelf makes it easily accessible and blends in with our other books." —Spooky Hobbit

    Get it from Amazon for $39.95.

    3. Or a dictionary safe — this is gonna be the best spot to store important documents or (more importantly) hide your *actual* candy stash from the kids. 

    Promising review: "Very pleased with this book box! It fits in with the rest of my books beautifully. You wouldn’t know that it’s any different from the rest unless you picked it up and fiddled with it. The cover feels like a real book. The pages are kind of fake-looking, but you can’t see them while it’s parked in the bookcase. I ordered the small size, and it fits cash perfectly. I’ve come back and ordered the large as well. I feel so much better about camouflaging some of my valuables among my hundreds of books rather than say, in my underwear drawer or someplace else that isn’t as sneaky. I love it, and it is perfect for what I wanted it for." —Tina

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

    4. bagless, touchless stationary vacuum so you can throw your dust pan in the GARBAGE where it belongs. You will no longer bend and snap every time you sweep.

    GIF of reviewer sweeping dust into bagless vacuum

    Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum, which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $124.99+ (available in six colors).

    5. An extra-large floor mirror that'll practically add another room to your apartment...just don't try to walk through it.

    Promising review: "She's a work of art. I couldn't be happier with this mirror. I first saw it on someone's Instagram.  It's too unique to pass up. It was pretty easy to assemble. It's very wide and spacious." —OhKristenJoy

    Get it from Urban Outfitters for $599.

    6. A set of rainbow wineglasses to add a little color to your wine collection, even if you're exclusively a Pinot Grigio person.

    Promising review: "Love these! Wasn’t ready to splurge on Estelle-stemmed glasses, so I got these instead. I’ve run them through the dishwasher once so far, and they held up fine. Glass is thin near the top, which I love in a wineglass. I would recommend!" —Tricia

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $69.95 (available in four styles). 

    7. Vitamix 5200 Blender — this self-cleaning blender is gonna whip up a whole 64 ounces of smoothies to help your morning meal prep. And that's not all! This professional-grade gadget also works when making soups, dough, sauces, non-dairy milks, and more. Ahem, special!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I need more than a 5-star option here!!! Just made my first smoothie and realized the ones I made before now were a joke compared to this; everything (including spinach) blended so perfectly, it is like sipping on tasty liquid velvet. I also have an Omega juicer which is great but also extremely time-consuming; nutrient absorption and overall used produce/ other ingredient content between the two methods is very different, and both are beneficial in their own ways, but this blender is a super-fast prep/combine/cleanup deal making it a way better option for getting fresh nutrients on the go. I thought it was surprisingly quiet and is only loud in the higher speeds, and smoothies will only be used very briefly (less than a minute) judging by what I made today which included frozen fruit. Daily life and habits will never be the same, and I’m sooooo happy I finally dropped the cash for this!!!" —Sarah W 

    Get it from Amazon for $397 (available in three colors).

    8. A Baroque mirror sure to shock your friends when you tell them you found it on Amazon. That is, IF you tell them.

    Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in four sizes).

    9. A collapsible hanger can hold way more clothes than traditional hangers, giving your minuscule closet a serious ~leg up~ while making it look lovely at the same time.

    Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

    I love having a collapsible hanger! I wear baggy, layered clothing that takes up a ton of closet space. The gif above is of my own hanger managing to hold/move a bunch of heavy winter pants with ease. If you're looking to save space in your closet, I highly recommend getting this + also recommend these velvet hangers

    Promising review: "I am very pleased with these hangers! I first bought one to try it with my boyfriend’s pants and I loved them so I had to buy another one. The material of the part where you place the pants prevents any type of clothing from sliding off. Saves a lot of space on my closet and was easy to install, took me less than two minutes. The hangers come with the tool necessary and an extra piece that holds the rods in case you lose one. Overall very happy with the results, will buy again if I need more!" —Lizette Lopez

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a two-pack).

    10. A crystal chandelier for gaudy goths who know a statement-making piece when they see one.

    Promising review: "I was hesitant to get this one originally, I was not sure if it would be over-kill or too big. I am soooo glad I took the plunge and bought it. I work from home and sometimes I just need a little background noise. It was super easy to set up and re-linked everything from my original Echo. It was easy to link Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube Premium. Your Amazon Prime account is automatically linked. In the mornings I ask Alexa to start my day and she tells me the current weather, some history tidbit, the news, current traffic and weather forecast for the day. When playing Amazon Music you get an option to see the lyrics, which is great when your other half sings the words wrong, lol. I chose to purchase the wall bracket from a small business owner due to the flexibility it provided. I can move the Echo out away from the wall, turn it while cooking to see recipes, view it while working at my desk or just tuck it back tight to the wall when I want it out of the way. This bracket also allows full tilt options as well as changing from horizontal to vertical. I have full use of my Echo Show 15 and again so pleased that I purchased it. So far no glitches, fingers crossed." —S. M. Paulson

    12. A small-but-mighty portable projector so your very own Disney adult can start up a nostalgic movie marathon wherever the heck they may be.

    13. A round cat scratcher that'll have your pet feeling ~peachy~ every time they stretch or clean their claws.

    Promising review: "It’s perfect. I want to buy 100 more for my fat kitty because it’s so bright and pretty. I would recommend this to cat owners. My cat loves it, it’s so bright and cute and it looks good in my room." —Ashley Obourke

    Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in five styles). 

    14. prismatic window film to let you enjoy the sun without neighbors seeing through your first-floor windows. Not only does this let natural light in, but this particular design projects rainbows into your home when the sun hits it just right!

    reviewer's work desk with the window film applied to the window above it and rainbows cast across the desk

    Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat." —J. B.

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in nine sizes).

    15. A candle lantern that'll add a romantic, rustic touch to your cozy home.

    Promising review: "My lantern looked exactly as pictured and it’s nice because you have the option to hang it up. I recently have redesigned my room to be a French gothic bedroom and this just fits perfectly. The craftsmanship is very good for its price as well." —Bradley Anderson

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five designs). 

    16. A stainless-steel rainfall shower head — this can make a simple shower a luxurious spa experience every time you turn your water on.

    Very thin spout with a flat water head, making a large sheet of water fall down

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful shower head, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a shower head?" —Sadda Reddy

    Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in five sizes and four finishes).

    17. A glass mushroom lamp that's itty bitty and oh-so-pretty. Even if you don't have ~mushroom~ on your side tables, this tiny guy will fit right in!

    Promising review: "The quality is very nice and we are happy with this purchase. The lamp is a frosted white glass when off and then a warm yellow glow when it's turned on." —Tiffany CA

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in eight styles).

    18. An avocado pit planter so you can grow your own avocado plant if you don't have a yard but gardening is in your roots

    I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great! 

    Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide, and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it’s some type of high quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" —Alysia 

    Get it from Amazon for $24

    19. A linear pendant light that'll complement any decor. This piece proves minimalism can pack a punch!

    Promising review: "I don't like night lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." —LMK

    Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in two styles).

    22. A cheese keeper to make even the inside of your fridge look camera-ready. This helps keep your favorite cheeses, both hard and soft, alive longer by allowing them to breathe. In the words of Veruca Salt, "Give it to me NOW!"

    Cheese is MY bar of chocolate.

    Promising review: "Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" —Awesome Taste

    This set includes four dinner plates, four dessert plates, four artisan bowls, and four fruit bowls.

    Promising review: "I LOVE THIS SET. Exactly what I pictured before buying. I bought this two months ago and there has been no issues. I’ve run these through the dishwasher 10+ times and there is no wear on them. Also, no issues with them scratching my granite counters. They feel hand crafted and I’ve already received tons of compliments. Would suggest!" —Carlie

    Promising review: "I purchased this for my adult daughter’s birthday. As you probably know, they are hard to shop for. The look in her eyes when she opened the package said it all. She also said it was so beautiful that she might use it as bathroom decor. This is elegance in the soap world." —Jus Sheryl

    Get them from Amazon for $21.95 (available in two styles). 

    25. A bag re-sealer I'd personally buy for the looks alone (it's basically a tiny hair straightener! CUTE!), for anyone who would love the chance to reseal their snacks and keep them frickin' fresh.

    Promising review: "Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips I open daily. This sealer worked great. Heated up in, like, 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now, I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" —Stacy0814

    Get it from Amazon for $11.69 (available in three colors).

    26. An elegant switch plate cover to spruce up your space if the fixer upper you own needs updates from top to bottom. These inexpensive plate covers were *made* to make bland walls look bold.

    Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store. I bought the switch plate, outlet plates, and even a blank plate to cover an old electrical box left behind by DirecTV." —Karebow

    Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in seven finishes). 

    27. gravity dispenser bottle in the shape of a daaarling little bird. Reviewers rave about how well this product works. Plus the price is so good, this cute kitchen tool is gonna be worth it even if you're cheep cheep cheep.

    Promising review: "This super cute dispenser is so easy to use. When you pouring the 'mouth' will automatically open, which is super convenient. And it was super clean – there was no drip. The fun part is, by pressing the little 'eye' you can open the lid. The spout part is made with stainless steel, which made rinsing very easy. What a surprise. Highly recommend." —Zhuohang Zeng

    Get it from Amazon for $10.59+ (available in five colors or as a set of four). 

    28. A trinket tray for anyone who would love taking the phrase "gold leaf" literally.

    Promising review: "I purchased this small palm leaf dish as I have been looking for a cute trinket dish for my nightstand to put my rings, hearing aids, and jewelry at night. This dish is exactly what I wanted! It feels very sturdy, looks as advertised in the photo, and is a great deal for the price. I would get the bigger dish if you are wanting to put more than just a few items in it as it is pretty small but I am very pleased with this purchase." —MM

    Promising review: "My girlfriend always wanted to buy vinyl records, but we weren't able to because we don't have a vinyl player. I've decided to get this for her. She was so happy as soon as she opened it. It also has additional features other than playing vinyl records. It adds a modern feature by having Bluetooth connectivity so you can use it as a wireless bluetooth speaker. The wood finish is perfect for our living room even though I don't think it is real wood. I'm really happy with the sound this thing produces. It has stereo speakers which is very great since it can easily fill a medium-size room. Overall, I'm very glad I was able to find a good vinyl player for my money with some added features." —Viky

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful piece of furniture that I personally love looking at in our living room. I love it so much I thought that even if the cats didn't like it, it would still be great to have as a decorative piece. However, the cats (especially our smaller, young cat) love sitting on the top level and playing with the rope! Gorgeous design, as are all Mau products, and functional. I love this purchase for our cats and for us!" —Beth S.
