1. A dimmable duck night-light that's just so ducking adorable! You can just tap the duck wherever to adjust the brightness and it has an optional 30-minute timer so you don't need to worry about turning it off. This little ducky's mood? Contemplating its New Year's resolution.
This light doesn't require any batteries — it's rechargeable! It comes with a USB charger.
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a duck lamp...but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two other designs).
2. A tabletop water fountain to add a little ~zen~ to your chaotic home in 2024. It'll allow you to immerse yourself in some nature when you really don't want to leave your couch. It comes with a pump to circulate water so you don't get any algae buildup!

5. A hilarious doormat that will 100% make your delivery person's day (especially during those endless New Year sales deliveries). But seriously, were they on a break or not?! I would love to know.
Josie B is a mom-owned small biz based in Long Beach, California that specializes in comedic mats!
Promising review: "This welcome mat is hysterical. We’ve been having a lot of fun with it, and our delivery people love it too! High quality- thick brushwork, heavy-duty backing, and the color doesn’t seem to fade with use- which was our number one concern. Product shipped very quickly, and it came well-protected in sturdy packaging. Very pleased and would definitely recommend this shop!" —Nicole Wright Lanterman
Get it from Josie B on Etsy for $46.90+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Too cute to pass up! Adorable!! The size makes it great for cream for coffee or tea or simply water at your bedside. Not to be confused with the larger version — this is great for a party of one. The cow’s head is small and nests perfectly into the body. Painted decor is spot on (no pun in intended) and the glass is good quality glass." —Eleni
Get it from Amazon for $18.55+ (available in two sizes).

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 $13.61+ (available in six colors and also in sets of two).
10. An invisible shelf that looks so realistic, every time you look over to your wall, you'll think Harry Potter has cast a spell. Even though we do wish those powers were a reality, this shelf just creates an optical illusion when you put a book cover under it.
Promising review: "I have several of these invisible shelves in my home. They are unique and interesting, and always attract attention. The shelves are easy to install. They come with the necessary hardware and instructions and go up quickly. I have them in spots that are too empty looking. You can place 1–10 books on them though you want at least a few to hide the shelf itself, and you'll need something bigger than a paperback for the bottommost book. These are very good quality, fun, and unique. Highly recommended." —Audrey Frances
Get it from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in two sizes and packs of three).
11. A disco ball planter for all you plant parents out there to hang on your ceilings. It comes with a sturdy chain and a macrame hanger making for easy setup. Dance your way into 2024 under the shimmering disco ball — so groovy!
It also comes with an acrylic desk stand if you don't want to bother hanging it up!

Get it from Amazon for $22.38+ (available in three colors and three sizes).

16. A fun toilet paper holder so you can put this lil' guy to work and make sure the restroom stays stocked with TP. It comes with a hidden hook to hold the rolls and keep them secured. No more screaming "HONEY WE'RE OUT AGAIN!" this year.
It comes with screws and a wall mount. You can store hand towels, tissues — basically anything that'll fit on here!
Promising review: "I wanted a toilet paper holder that didn’t take up much space, kept the extra rolls off the floor, and could be installed close to the toilet. This is perfect for what we need. It won’t fit in with any of your standard bathroom decor (if you have a theme) but functionality and space is more important to me than looks. Easy to install as well." —Jamie
Get it from Amazon for $29.90 (available in six styles).
17. An adorable lamp because when life gives you lemons, turn them into a lamp. You can adjust the brightness setting and it can last three hours without charging it! Ring in the new year with some cheery decor to brighten your room.
Promising review: "I got this light because I didn't want the overheads on when I was reading books to my child. It provides enough light to read by. Additionally, I got it for power outage situations, so that we can still read books, and the light source is more pleasing than that of a flashlight or lantern. Very happy with it." —Miss Ms K
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in four styles).
18. A prismatic window film to turn your home into a joyous place filled with rainbows when the sun shines through. It also acts as a privacy shield from the outside world and nosy neighbors.
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 $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
19. A cloud mirror that looks like those funhouse mirrors but make it ✨elevated✨. You'll be staring at your reflection for hours — not because you're a narcissist, but because you can't get over how unique this wonky shape is.

Promising review: "I’m so in love with this bath mat! It absorbs water so it dries fast and its soft to stand on. I love this cute design! Cheery for my bathroom! Makes me smile!" —Drhonda fitzroy
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes).
21. A sponge holder that is literally SpongeBob brought to life. I mean, c'mon, this product is genius. Instead of washing the dishes, you can just give the excuse that SpongeBob is too cute of a decor piece to use.
It comes with two regular sponges, one SpongeBob sponge, one holder, and one clear SpongeBob print!
Promising review: "Not only was this the product of late night Amazon scrolling, but it was also something I definitely did not need. But, it sits proudly next to my sink and will be shown to everyone who comes into my house. Super cute, lovely, 10/10. There is a part of me that healed because of these. A gift to us all." —Howie
Get it Amazon for $8.29.

24. A home-y tissue box cover so this year you can cry in style instead of pulling out tissues from a cardboard box. It could even put a smile on your face from its cuteness!
Here's why BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this:
"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 2+ 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."
Get it from Amazon for $9.20.
25. A dino nugget pillow because these were all the hype during your childhood, and let's be real, probably your adulthood too. This is more than just decor — it's so plush that you'll be cuddling it all day long (just don't take a bite of it even though it looks so yummy).
Promising review: "I need at least five more dino nugget pillows. This is such a unique and amazing idea. very soft, looks exactly like a giant dino nuggie. Love it so much. Also my cats enjoy it too." —Bambi Riddel
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three shapes).
26. A candle warmer so you don't have to worry about putting out the flame or waking up to the sound of sirens. This floral beauty of a lamp has a bulb that heats up to melt the wax of a candle and is adjustable so you can control how fast your candle burns.
Promising review: "I am absolutely delighted to share my heartfelt review of this enchanting lamp! Words cannot express how magical and gorgeous it is, with its perfect blend of glass, brass, and light wood. The packaging was beyond thoughtful and ensured the lamp arrived in pristine condition. I particularly appreciate the adjustable light feature, allowing me to set the perfect amount (dim, heat) . The inclusion of an extra bulb was a thoughtful touch as well. This lamp marks my first foray into candle warmers, and I must say, I have fallen in love!" —Marynelis Rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in eight styles).
27. And an incense burner that creates a waterfall effect. C'mon, you can't tell me this isn't just about the coolest thing you have ever seen! It comes with 120 incense cones with five scents so you'll be stocked for a while!
Set includes: an incense burner, 120 incense cones (rose, ambergris, lily, lavender, osmanthus), a metal tweezer, and a mat.

28. A cactus spoon set to add some ~spice~ to your kitchen (and hopefully your food). If your resolution is to start cooking more, this my friend, is for you.
Set includes: 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, and 1 tbsp spoons and a base that measures one cup.
Promising review: "These are aesthetically pleasing to look at and display, but the spoons seem so big. But the times I’ve used it, and measured these with other spoons, they are same size so I guess they just look big. Great quality though!! Wow!!" —klaudia
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in three styles).
29. A melting clock so you can turn your room into a Salvador Dali painting. Who would want to check the time on a normal clock when they have THIS? I know I wouldn't.
The clock requires one AA battery.
Promising review: "An absolute great find for such a reasonable price. Clock functions just as any clock would, but the piece itself is such a show-stopper. I gifted it to my dad for his birthday and he hung it on an office shelf. Everyone who stops through the office notices it and thinks its so cool, especially if they're familiar with Salvador Dali! Couldn't ask for a more unique, easy buy." —Connor
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
30. A bathroom-themed word search that'll keep you busy if you forgot to bring your phone with you. There is nothing worse than going number two with nothing to do on the loo.

It is really cute, well made, and even though it is super easy to find all the words and I know all of them I get lots of compliments on it from guests. It’s entertaining while doing one of life’s most mundane necessities. ;)" —Amy K
