1. A set of curtain fairy lights, which will add a mesmerizing sparkle to your windows — especially when layered with sheer curtains. You'll be met with a soft, soothing glow that's basically the embodiment of a hug, but, like...in light form.
These string lights are waterproof, can be used indoors and outdoors, and have eight light settings you can control with a remote.
Promising review: "I got two sets of these lights for two different windows, and they really are so pretty! I love all the different settings there are, and they really just make your place nice and cozy at night! Hopefully they last a long time! It did take some time to wind them around the curtain rod, but if you follow the instructions and don't open them until you've tied them around the rod, they should not get tangled. I'm using them indoors, so no comment on how weatherproof they are." —Victoria C.

It’s the exact length to go around our front door, it’s white so it blends nicely, and the different options are quite nice.

Promising review: "These are the best lights I have used to date for outdoor purposes. I was very concerned that there would be issues with brightness as the LED 'bulbs' are frankly very small, but they do a great job illuminating a solid 5 to 7 feet in all directions. I have these along our gutters, fence, and across some trees bordering our pool. They have practically made our backyard into a magical landscape." —Carlos
