As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

1. A vibrant, nature-inspired shower curtain with such a wide variety of prints to choose from! We're talking flowers, trees, birds, and everything in between with LOTS of color. If you can't shower in nature, the next best thing is to bring those earthy vibes you love into your bathroom. I'm really digging the colorful jungle-themed one, personally,

Anthropologie

It's also crafted from 100% cotton!

Promising reviews: "Perfect shower curtain to elevate my bathroom and bring all the decor together!" —Sanna

"I love this shower curtain, it is so cute! I have had it for a couple of months, and it has worn well and still looks great!" —Emily_A

Get it from Anthropologie for $78 (available in 16 prints).

2. ~And~ an adorablegarden-themed bath mat/rug to make every step out of the shower feel like you're walking into a field of daisies, instead of the bathroom in your apartment. It’s plush, machine washable, and adds a lil' pop of nature to any room.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Got this mat for a mushroom-themed bathroom, and it is the cherry on top of the rest of the decor. Absolutely adorable, and so soft!" —harley goebel

Get it from Amazon for$16.99+ (available in eight sizes). 

3. A set of vinyl coasters — proof that being practical doesn't have to equal boring. They’ll keep your table safe from drink rings ~but~ also look like they came straight from your favorite '80s throwback playlist. Also, can we just divert all our attention towards the fact that they come with a TURNTABLE holder for when you're not using them?! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Good gift. Got these for my wife for her basement bar. They're cute on the pub table and great conversation pieces." —MJ

Get it from Amazon for $11.99

4. A disco ball bar cart that's giving “Why would we ever go out again when we have this diva waiting for us at home?" I mean, if you love having a wow factor in your space for guests to comment on, baby, this will have everyone who sees it gagged for days and always RSVP'ing to your functions, because they know the vibes will be immaculate.

Glam Globes / Etsy

Glam Globes is a UK-based small biz that sells adorable disco ball home decor pieces!

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has one herself and loves it! Here's what she has to say about it:

"It's from a small biz based in the UK, and while it did take a while to arrive (as I expected), it was *well* worth the wait. The light bouncing off the mirror fragments and onto my walls is just dang beautiful. Between the bottom tray and the space inside the globe (yes, the globe OPENS UP!), there's a nice amount of storage for bottles and glassware. And unlike regular bar carts, the things you keep inside the globe will actually stay dust-free. I bought the 'champagne' color (which is a nice neutral cream-beige), but it comes in tons of colors that'll go perfectly with your home decor."

Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $352.41 (available in nine colors on the brand's website and in seven colors on Etsy).

5. A lil' tomato light to bring in more color to your space that isn't another plant. It fits perfectly on shelves or countertops and brings so much charm and warmth to your space, especially if you're into retro or dopamine decor. It also doesn't hurt that it looks just like the one at Urban Outfitters, but is not $80+.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was going to buy the $80 one from UO, and decided to look for cheaper alternatives. I'm really happy with this lamp! The little remote with light settings and timer features is a nice addition. If you're thinking about buying this, I'd recommend you do!" —Jules F 

Get it from Amazon for $26.90

6. A cowboy boot vase that is toe-tally a mood and ready to kick your space up a notch. Fill it with flowers, office/art supplies, or any trinkets that make you smile.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Ban.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. 

Promising review: "Such a cute cowgirl boot. I put my makeup brushes in it on my vanity and it’s so cute. All of my friends want one now! Definitely recommend." —Jerrett

Get it from Amazon for $28.95

7. Some colorful strip lights to really liven up your space. Not only can you control the colors and brightness from your phone, but you can actually sync them to your music so the lights pulse along to your song! I hope you have a sturdy coffee table because there's no way you're not hopping on top of it and twerking for your life with these on your walls!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great lights. Bought for my teenager's room, and they are easy to use, add a fun touch, and fit great. Color is bright and beautiful. You can adjust from your phone and change the color/theme daily. Hooks up to what music you are playing to add a fun spark to your room. Highly recommend. Easy to install, connect, and use! Easy to connect, sticks well, and functions great!" —Careichwein

Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in five sizes).

8. A paw-shaped chair cushion, because of course your butt deserves this level of cuteness and softness?! And that's especially true for anyone who has to sit on their tushy for many hours a day for work or school.

Amazon

Promising review: "I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It's not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great, but even without it, this cushion is soft and comfy! It's still worth every dime. It's perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft and cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it." —mandarabbit

Get it from Amazon for $23.74+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

9. A magnetic rotating UFO-shaped Bluetooth speaker to have an out-of-this-world listening experience while hanging with your crew. It delivers full 360-degree sound while orbiting in midair. Hook it up to your phone or laptop and watch your guests absolutely lose it when they realize it’s floating on its own. "Levitating" by Dua Lipa must be the first song, obvi.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought as a gift, but I will get one for myself. I was totally surprised at the quality of the speaker part of this. Got it for my grandson for Christmas. He set it up while here after opening, and we listened to Christmas music all day." —Dawna324

Get it from Amazon for $97.99

10. A pair of rainbow drip candles that are super satisfying to watch burn. They melt into a rainbow of color that'll turn any candle holder into a mini art installation, because they create a one-of-a-kind pattern every time.

Amazon

Promising review: "These have to be the coolest things I have ever purchased. I have them in an empty wine bottle. I will be buying many more to cover the entire bottle in wax." —Bre

Get a pair from Amazon for $5.45.

11. A piece of customizable cereal bowl wall art to bring some color and serious visual intrigue to your kitchen walls. Each piece uses real cereal preserved in a glossy, bug-resistant finish, so it looks permanently mid-breakfast in the most delightfully weird way possible. And while you can choose the color bowl you'd like, all the bowls are upcycled! So no two bowls will ever look alike. It's the perfect way to immortalize your love for cereal (and for all my fellow millennials — the joy of eating a bowl with Saturday morning cartoons).

The Celestial Homebody/Etsy

The Celestial Homebodyis an Indiana-based Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in handmade crafts. 

NOTE: The bowls on each of these are thrifted, so the edges and sizes will vary slightly! 

Promising review: "To say I love these is an understatement… I am OBSESSED!!! They look good enough to eat! I can’t wait to hang them on the walls. I’m just trying to decide exactly where!" —Apple user

Get it from The Celestial Homebody on Etsy for $35.99+ (available premade, or with customizable cereal and colors). 

12. A roll of gorgeous patterned drawer liners infused with a long-lasting floral scent that will make you go "ahhh" every time you open your sock drawer. They come in the most dreamy floral patterns, can be cut to the size that you need, and have just enough scent to be fragrant, but not overpowering. Use them to revive an old dresser or to treat yourself to a good time every time you open your drawers. 

www.amazon.com

Merriton is a small business that sells rolls of scented drawer liners. 

Promising reviews: "I am very pleased with these scented drawer liners! They are perfect for my bedroom chest of drawers. The paper is heavy, and the scent is wonderful. I love it! I may buy them as gifts." —Ela

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five styles).

13. A 3D skirt tissue box to bring a lil' smile to your face every time you have to blow your nose because of those dreaded seasonal allergies. It's like infusing a paper doll on your tissue box, and I'm not mad at it because I LOVED paper dolls as a kid.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

14. Abaguette-shaped pillow so realistic-looking, you might forget it's not edible.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this delicious bread morsel to cheer up a friend. It was perfect, she really 'kneaded' it. She uses it for cuddling and sleeping. This yummy bread-cake doesn’t feel 'crumby' at all, it’s soft. It was the yeast I could do. If your friend loves bread, and she’s going through a tough time you 'butter' get this for them." —Nora Lee Majors

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+(available in three sizes).

15. An animal cookie pillow to snuggle up with on those days where all you want to do is be whisked back to childhood because the biggest concern on your mind back then was how to get some extra animal cookies past your parents (ahhhh — the good ol' days). And honestly, if you look at them long enough, it definitely starts to create a craving...🤤. So, I say treat yourself to one of these and a box of those delicious lil' cuties!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this light! The stars are beautiful, the colors are beautiful. I like that it shuts off in four hours. I use it in my house so I don’t have to turn the lights on all the time. I like it so much, I just ordered three more to give to my grandchildren. It also has sounds like the sound of rain, or ocean waves. And you can even play your regular music on it. Don’t be afraid to try it!
