Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

3. A lush double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set guaranteed to have your bed so cozy, warm, and comfortable, you'll never want to leave.

Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pompom fringe is adorable." —SK

Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE this scent and the effect that it has on me. It helps me fall asleep and stay asleep. I add a few drops to my diffuser before I get in bed and I don't wake up until morning. Before, I would only sleep three to four hours and then wake up. The scent lasts a few hours after the diffuser is done running. This oil can also be used in your bath or on your pillowcases, and of course the diffuser.

Promising review: "I am a very hot sleeper therefore, I am very picky about my sheets. These sheets are very comfortable and do not make me hot. They are soft and very comfortable. Also, the company is great to work with! Excellent customer service! When my sheets arrived, there was a small problem with the fitted sheet so I emailed them (the sheets came with a flier with their contact info) and they sent me another fitted sheet right away. They said they are a family owned business and really want the customer to have a great experience. I was impressed with that level of service especially in this day and age! Bottom line: great sheets, excellent customer service and great price! Do not hesitate to buy!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I read a lot of the other reviews on these pillowcases. The one thing I heard very few people mention is these pillowcases will really improve the quality of your sleep! You can look at the sleep tracker that I included in this review and you can see on both Friday and Saturday night my sleep rating increased! The only thing I did those two nights is I slept on these pillowcases. I highly recommend these pillowcases if you were looking for better sleep. I usually don’t write reviews, but these pillowcases are worth it!" —bernard frasier

Promising review: "Awesome addition to my workspace environment. I've tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome, the pump is quiet, as is the water, it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours in a day, use distilled water only, and clean it periodically, and it's running just like new after several weeks. Not all of the fountains that I've tried work quite so well, I'm impressed and happy with this purchase. Six-month update: If I could give this thing 6 stars, I would. It runs so quiet, and I nearly let it go dry last weekend (three-day weekend and forgot to turn it off...) — once I filled it up again it was just as quiet as ever. I'm beyond impressed. Still cleaning it periodically and using only distilled water." —Rod

Urban Outfitters, Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lordsays: "I bought one of these as an apartment-warming gift for my own darn self and I love it to pieces. It's compact so it doesn't take up much space, but adds a lovely sophistication to the corner of the room. Plus it just makes me so happy to see my favorite vinyls all on display like decor, and not have to be scrambling around under the bed or on a random shelf where I used to keep them so they'd be "safe." This came fully constructed, too, so there was no hassle pulling it straight out of the box. These are so popular that they're constantly on backorder, so a heads up you might have to wait a few weeks depending on what color you choose — but it is *seriously* worth it!"

Promising review: "I love this record player. It fits so perfect in my studio apartment and the size is incredible for those small spaces that aren’t as easy to fill. It fits my record player perfectly and I love the second shelf to add extra touches." —shanellllea

Much bigger than I expect honestly but it’s not massive either. You can also move it around and change the angle of the mirror on the stand or different shapes." —Savannah

Get it from Amazon for $9.90

20. Or a set of three sun-inspired decorative mirrors so you can have sunshine even on cloudy days.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These mirrors are adorable, lightweight, and practical for certain purposes. We used ours in our kids' playroom because if they were ever to fall off wall/ get knocked down, they wouldn't hurt a kid. For plastic, they're pretty sturdy and really pretty actually. They DO NOT look cheap. I'm impressed :)." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of three from Amazon for $15.99(available in five colors).

Promising review: "Love the ease of these lights! I bought two sets for two different bedrooms for my daughters and they ABSOLUTELY love them! They are easy to hang up over the curtains. I love that I don’t have to worry about trying to string together several strands of Christmas lights that are way too long and super heavy over the curtain rod. The LED lights are very lightweight so they don’t put any extra weight on my curtain rods. Also, we love the different light modes that it can do. My girls love the warm glow that it gives to their bedrooms. The first thing my almost teenage daughter said was, 'My room looks like a Pinterest room!' So overall, it was a WIN-WIN! Definitely worth the money!" —stayathomemom

23. PLUS a set of photo clip string lights so you can be surrounded by your most touching memories, giving you all the warm and fuzzy feels. Now your friends and fam will be the first thing you see in the morning, and the last thing you see before drifting off. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is very versatile in what you can do with it. Our daughters used it as a photo display as they attached it to the wall and add some small clips to it and clipped their favorite pictures to it. So it is like each picture has its own little light illuminating it. They can update it whenever they want when they get a photo they like better. It also works well as a light to transition them from daytime to bedtime while they settle down for the day. I am sure there are many other ways in which it can be used too." —Burger42

Get them from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in two lengths).

Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it.

I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy

Amazon, Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy.

Genius.' Apparently everyone on Instagram and blogs and the internetverse thinks so too, but frankly it works well and is better than transferring clothes between bed and chair over and over again. This was so easy to put together that even I didn't mess it up." —Kim Dee

We have a similar rug we purchased at Lowes for three times the price for our bedroom and my husband and I decided that we would buy this one again instead. We are actually ordering two more for the baby's room and our middle daughter's room. So many people have complimented this rug and asked us to send them the link!" —Ashley Bryan

It's definitely doing its job. It's currently holding two queen-sized fleece blankets, a queen-sized weighted blanket, and two pillows. Super spacious! It did come folded up but if you follow the instructions that come with the basket, it will easily get some shape and hold onto it without it flopping over." —CCLP
