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 rainfall shower head and handle set so you can start off your weekend with the most relaxing, oasis-like shower experience. It's designed to deliver steady, soothing streams of water while looking sleek and high-end, thanks to the modern stainless steel design. It’s basically a spa moment you get to have every single morning.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Each set comes with a rain shower head that you can get in four sizes (eight, 10, 12 or 16 inches), a shower mixer valve control, a handheld shower head, a stainless-steel shower hose, a shower head arm, and a brass shower bracket holder.

Promising review: "This rainfall shower and handheld provide a luxury spa experience in the privacy of your own bathroom. They are made of substantial, high-quality materials and look and feel high-end. The rainfall shower is amazing, with perfect pressure combined with beauty. It encourages standing for long, relaxing showers, just enjoying the water as it falls over you. The handheld is magic for sore muscles or just to enjoy the massage like water. The diverter is easy to use. The price for such high-quality products is more than reasonable." —linda33

Get it from Amazon for $116.99+ (available in six finishes and four sizes). 

2. And a eucalyptus lavender pouch to give your regular-smegular bathroom all the tranquil vibes you need after a long day or week. You just hang it in the shower and let the steam release the relaxing, fragrant scents from the freshly trimmed eucalyptus leaves and dried lavender. They're perfect for prepping your mood before bed or for slow weekends in.

Eucalyptus Blooms / Etsy

Each bag lasts for two to three showers. Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins.

Get a set of three from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $11.99+ (originally $15.99+; also available in a set of five).

4. A simple cushioned hammock chair if you've been craving a calm, comfy corner just for you. Between the cozy cocoon feel, the quiet sway, and the built-in pocket for your essentials, it’s perfect for meditation, reading, or just zoning out for a minute.

*And* you'll be able to swing peacefully, as the sturdy spreader bar can hold up to 500 pounds. A lot of reviewers use these outdoors on porches and tree branches, too!

Promising review: "BUY THIS HAMMOCK. I've never owned a hammock before, and I used to always tell my parents that when I got old enough in my own home, I would buy one. This hammock did not disappoint!! I'm 24 and put this hammock up by myself with the help of a stud finder on my balcony. It's so comfortable and cozy that I've fallen asleep in it several times. The pocket on the inside is convenient for holding my phone or a book. The pillows aren’t super fluffy, so I added another pillow with it and a blanket, and boom, maximum comfort." —Tee

Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in four colors).

5. A book-like paper light to be the finishing touch for your cozy corner or reading nook. It casts the perfect warm glow for when you want to relax. And the unique accordion shape, inspired by the act of opening a book, makes this a one-of-a-kind piece that will definitely have people "oooing" and "ahhing" when they see it (and definitely bugging you about where you got it). 

Natural Inspired Finds / Etsy

Natural Inspired Finds is a woman-owned small business based in London that makes unique paper lanterns.

Promising review: "It is a wonderful product. It is exactly what I was looking for. I just love how it adds a peaceful, thoughtful, and natural vibe to our house. I recommend it with all my heart." —Élodie Boutin

Get it from Natural Inspired Finds on Etsy for $58.69+ (originally $73.36+; available in four options and able to be customized).

6. A beautifully-illustrated Rest and Reflect adult coloring book that showcases several unique, hand-drawn figures inspired by Black women embodying their confidence, their style, and their beauty — all on bleed-proof, single-sided pages.

www.amazon.com

And don't forget to grab some markers! Here are some skin tone ones and general colors.

Coco Michelle Illustrations is a Black-and woman-owned business that creates coloring books that display the joy and beauty within the Black community.

Promising review: "I have been following Andrea’s work for a few years and have purchased all of her self published books. Coloring with Coco: Rest and Reflect is another beautiful addition. As a Black woman, I truly appreciate how her coloring books represent me, my family, and my friends. Each page is well thought out and meaningful. The quality of the paper is excellent with thick pages that make coloring a relaxing and enjoyable experience. This is a book I am proud to add to my collection and I highly recommend it." —Leslie Chapman

Get it from Amazon for $11.94.

7. A personal ice cream maker so easy to use, it'll have Ben and Jerry looking for new jobs. All you have to do is freeze the base (for at least 24 hours), pour in your ingredients, and 20 minutes later, you’ve got the creamiest personal-sized dessert that you created. Forget Chunky Monkey or Americone Dream — you could create Chunky Americone Dreamy Monkey or whatever creative concoctions your sweet tooth desires!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

And it's specially designed for you to be able to eat it straight out of the mug —because dishes? Not tonight, boo! Some reviewers also recommend getting two so that you always have one in the freezer at the ready. 

Y'ALL — I can't get over how much I love this ice maker. I had been pining over the Ninja Swirl since it came out, but my wallet kept saying "lol." So, after writing about this bad boy so much, I decided to buy it myself, and it is truly one of my favorite purchases of the year. I love how small it is, so it doesn't take up a ton of room in my freezer or on my counter. And it only has three pieces to manage. I used to own a Cuisinart one that I eventually got rid of because it was too bulky. This one is the perfect size for me.

I also love that it's designed to eat right out of the bowl. I got these covers that are designed to fit the mug so that if I can't finish it, I can just put it in the freezer instead of putting it in another container. The worst part is having to wait 24 hours for the bowl to freeze, but I got two, like other reviewers recommended, so that I'll always have one available if the other one is in use. I'm TOO excited to experiment with flavors. Love, love, LOVE!

Promising review: “I truly am not a big ice cream fan, but decided to try this one after seeing some videos online about it. Let me tell you, I used it so much in the first two weeks that I had to put it away and hide it! If this machine broke tomorrow, I would immediately buy another." —cb2767

Get it from Amazon for $29.22.

8. OR! A frozen fruit soft-serve maker that will have you constantly saying "I can't believe this is NOT ice cream" with every bite. All you have to do is add your favorite frozen fruit, and within minutes, you'll have a smooth, creamy treat that will have ice cream drafting a cease-and-desist. If you're lactose-intolerant, love sorbet, or just hate seeing ripe fruit go to waste, this will definitely be the most fun way to get more fruit into your day.

www.amazon.com

And if you thought it couldn't get any better, I'm here to also let you know that all the removable parts are dishwasher safe! Just make sure you keep them on the top rack only.

Promising reviews: “I keep recommending this to everyone I know, especially friends with kids. These desserts are so good. I got it thinking I could use something other than a banana, but the banana is best. I also use it to make treats for the dog." —Kimberly G.

"This is the best gadget I've ever bought. I use frozen mangoes to make a mango sorbet, which is delicious and much healthier than ice cream, which I love. I am substituting for ice cream, and it fulfills the ice cream desire. It is easy to clean — just clean it as soon as you are done, and it is quick and easy." —Richard L. Keizer

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in silver and coral).

9. ~Plus~ a set of flower petal dessert glasses to up your presentation skills and make your frozen dessert creations feel ✨special✨. Use them to dress up parfaits, cocktails, or other tasty treats!

Amazon

Psst — they're also dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "Stunning! I have been seeing a lot of fun drinkware at stores recently. However, the glass is always paper-thin and looks too fragile to be used. So I gave these ones a try. Yes, these are it! The glass is thick, the stem it sturdy, the colors are fun, the shape is interesting. I am obsessed. You'll find me sipping my lemon water out of these from now on!" —Raya C.

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles). 

10. A rejuvenatingspa set that has everything you need for a relaxing wind-down. Every detail — from bath bombs paired with matching sugar scrubs to 24K gold eye masks and a self-heating steam mask — is basically a one-way ticket to instant zen.

Amazon

Satavi Naturals is a small biz that creates wellness products that give you a spa-like experience at home.

I have gotten this spa set, and it truly is everything you need to relax from a long week in a box. It comes with all the essentials for a relaxing evening — 24K gold eye masks, a set of steam eye masks, sugar scrubs, an unscented candle, and three gorgeous bath bombs in eucalyptus mint, lavender, and citrus. And from the moment you open the lid, you're immediately hit with a divine scent that makes you excited to end work early and take a bath. It also comes in a colorful, luxe box. I loved it!

Get it from Amazon for $32.99.

11. A northern lights projector to transform your bedroom or living room into a cosmic wonderland! You may see a projector when you look at it, but it’s actually a mini universe you control. Adjust brightness, motion speed, or sync it to your favorite playlist for a full-on disco galaxy effect — or just play calming white noise for an out-of-this-world bedtime experience.

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! It’s like having the northern lights anytime you want." —Amy J Nelson

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in four colors). 

12. A giant, plush beanbag chair if your weekend plans involve doing absolutely nothing and loving every second of it. It's stuffed with the most comfy high-density foam instead of those dreaded beads that are always leaking out. And it's wrapped in a luxe microsuede cover that will feel divine against your skin (plus, it's machine-washable).

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Best of all — you just unbox, and it's ready to go!

Promising review: "I had contemplated buying one of the expensive Lovesacs but decided to roll the dice and try a less expensive option. Found this product, read the reviews, purchased it, and hoped for the best. OMG! It’s HUGE (bigger than I imagined in my head) and SO comfortable and supportive. You don’t sink down to the floor like in a traditional beanbag, as this doesn’t have 'beans' inside. The setup was so easy. Going to order another one for my adult son, who just got his first apartment. What a great product and a BIG money saver." —Brittany W.

Get it from Amazon for $189.14+ (available in 20 styles).

13. A Google Nest Smart Thermostat, because nothing ruins cozy vibes faster than having to constantly get up (especially during the middle of the night) and adjust the thermostat. This sleek, Wi-Fi-connected version adjusts your home's temperature based on your habits! So it figures out when you’re home, when you’re away, and when you need your bedroom to feel nice and toasty — all while helping you cut down that energy bill. 

www.amazon.com

And if you still wake up craving a different temperature in the middle of the night,  you can actually change it from the Google Home app on your phone or with a voice assistant like Google Bluetooth Audio Speaker — all from the comfort of your bed.

I have another version of the Google Nest thermostat and a Nest Hub at my house, and I can't tell you how much I love just being able to tell Google to turn the heat on or to change the temp without having to leave my bed. 

Promising review: "My boyfriend and I have VERY different sleep temperature preferences, and the thermostat that came with our apartment just wasn't cutting it (we were either icicles or sweat monsters, usually at the same time!). The old one would never shut off, and my bf would be freezing in the middle of the night. So we got the Google Nest, we were looking for something that worked with Apple Home and that we could program remotely, and this checks off all those boxes. This thermostat is much more responsive than our old ones, and it's SO GREAT that we can adjust the temperature without getting out of bed or off the sofa. As far as features go, it's really nothing fancy. It adjusts the temperature, and it connects to your phone." —A

Get it from Amazon for $118.49+ (available in four colors).

14. And a set of Google Nest temperature sensors if one room in your house is always freezing while another feels like a sauna. It tells your Nest thermostat exactly what the temperature is where it’s placed and kicks on your heating/cooling system to your ideal temp so you get comfort exactly where you need it. You can also schedule and prioritize different rooms in the app, making your comfort totally customizable!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m very happy with these Google thermostat sensors. They’ve made it easy to regulate the temperature in our spare bedroom and office, which always ran hotter than the rest of the house. Now the whole home feels more comfortable, and the thermostat automatically adjusts based on the room we’re using. Simple to set up and definitely worth it!" —Constance Bembenek

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $98.

15. And a flower-inspired dimmable candle-warmer lamp if you love candles, but don't want to risk falling asleep with an open flame. It gently melts your favorite candles using heat, releasing all the scent with none of the hazards. Plus, it’s got a built-in timer and can double as a ~vibey~ mood lamp.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim, and I’m hooked. I love the timer and dimmer features. So far, the lamp works great. It doesn’t put out a lot of heat and I love that you can adjust the light. This is now going to be my go-to gift." —no no no

Get it from Amazon for$26.99+ (available in 20 styles). 

16. A heated toilet seat that will make scrolling through TikTok while peeing after you wake up a more luxe (and toasty) experience. It's got three heat settings to choose from, a soft-close lid, and a built-in night-light so you can find your way to the toilet without blinding yourself at 2 a.m.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We live in Minnesota, and let the heating drop down in our house at night. This makes the late-night bathroom trips a lot more comfortable. A nice luxury." —D

Get it from Amazon for $116.49+ (available in two shapes).

17. A towel warmer, because cold towels after a shower? Ohhhh, no, no, no, no, NOOOO — couldn't be you. This extra-large warming gem can fit two oversize towels, a robe, or even your PJs (!!!) and will heat them up evenly in minutes. It’s easy to use, sleek enough for any bathroom, and honestly, once you’ve wrapped yourself in a freshly warmed towel, there’s no going back.

www.amazon.com

It heats up in just one minute and reaches its highest temperature in just six minutes. It *also* has up to 60 minutes of heating time.

Promising review: "Not only is this great for robes and towels (the dogs greatly appreciate it, too, after a bath), but blankets, socks, and jammies are awesome, too. There’s even a holder inside the lid that allows you to place fragrance discs in to add a lavender scent for bedtime. Definitely worth the investment for pampering yourself." —K. Evans

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two colors).

18. A fireplace entertainment center that is so much more than just a heater or TV stand — it's a whoooooole vibe! The electric fireplace insert not only uses LED lights to create a moody flame flickering effect, but it also gives off heat that reviewers say can really warm up their room.

www.amazon.com

It heats rooms up well that are 400 square feet or smaller.

Promising review: "I am absolutely in love with this fireplace entertainment center! The setup was easier than I expected, and once it was all put together, it completely changed the vibe of my living room. The fireplace is beautiful, and the heat actually warms up the room without being too strong. The LED lights add such a nice touch, especially at night, and the storage space is perfect for keeping everything organized. It holds my large TV with no problem, and the white finish looks clean and modern. Overall, this piece looks way more expensive than it is, and it’s both functional and stylish. If you're thinking about it, just get it. I’m honestly obsessed!" —EveryDaySelects

Get it from Amazon for $239.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

19. A mini illuminated relaxation waterfall — what you turn on when you want to power down your brain or literally drown out distractions in the most calming way. The cascading water, gentle lighting, and nature-inspired design make it perfect for unwinding, meditating, or falling asleep.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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." —Rod_CdA

Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in two styles).

20. Some decorative rainbow window film to turn your room into a dreamy kaleidoscope. It sticks without glue, peels off easily, and is a great, dopamine-boosting way to give yourself extra privacy — all while blocking UV rays and helping to protect your flooring and furniture from sun damage.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I had no privacy in the evenings and was looking for an alternative solution that was not only effective but that would look good, too. After putting these up, I finally have some really effective privacy. It's so nice without everybody being able to see into my windows whenever they please at night. The amazing amount of rainbow effect that happens during the daytime when the sunlight streams through is so neat! My place is flooded with rainbows everywhere. It is better than I pictured!" —Sally Skeleton

Get it from Amazon for$6.99+(available in 10 prints and 25 sizes).

21. A tablet and phone stand if you prefer to be more hands-free when enjoying your screens. This gooseneck holder bends, twists, and stays in place so you can stream, scroll, FaceTime, or read in total comfort. A lot of reviewers like to mount it to their bed, but you can also clip it on a table, your bathtub, or anything that is around three inches thick.

www.amazon.com

And check out this hands-free, bluetooth remote to really take your cozy scrolling to the next level.

Promising review: "For years, I saw my wife watch her Korean dramas and YouTube videos in bed, lying on her side with her phone or iPad propped on a pillow! This was not comfortable or easy to move around if interrupted. Got her this and we like it so much I bragged about it and purchased another one for a family member!" —Z

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in black and white).

22. An unofficial Disney Parks cookbook and drink recipe book to whisk yourself back to when you got to experience the most delicious treats at the happiest place on earth. They're packed with Disney‑park‑inspired recipes so you can recreate the magic at home (minus the 3‑hour wait).

Promising review (for the cookbook): "This recipe book was a gift for my granddaughter who loves everything Disney! She was excited to try the recipes and 'relive' the fun food at Disneyland." —Ellen Bailey

Get it from Amazon for $11.54 for the cookbook and $9.90 for the drink recipes.

Marée's Collagen Facial Masks if you love the idea of a spa day but hate the idea of leaving the house. Infused with collagen and hyaluronic acid, these mystical-looking masks deliver serious hydration while making your skin feel soft, bouncy, and refreshed. Pop one on, light a candle, and bask in your cozy gremlin-ness.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Marée is a small business that specializes in beauty products. 

Promising review: "Gifted these masks to my sister-in-law, and she loved them. So I figured I’d try them too. What a difference in my skin. I like to leave all masks on a lot longer than most people or directions say. I let the mask gel absorb into my skin. So when I took it off, it was not wet anymore. I woke up the next day with a nice glow and dewy appearance. I will have to get more. I think it actually tightened my eyes and laugh lines, too. I love this product and will continue to buy it. Thank you, Marée!!" —Eugene Cecora 

Get a set of six from Amazon for$9.99 (also available in a two-pack).

24. A lightweight, expandablebamboo bathtub caddy to turn your tub into the ultimate lazy-day command center. It stretches to fit the tub and even folds up for easy storage. Best of all, your wine, candles, tablet, or book will all be within arm’s reach while you soak, scroll, and ignore the outside world. 

www.amazon.com

Bambusi is a small business that specializes in home accessories.  

Promising review: "Surprisingly sturdy and well made. Assembly and construction is excellent, and the accessories are quite clever. On balance, the tray is impressive and well worth its cost. A thoughtful gift, especially for anyone who likes to relax in the tub, but not without their accessories and a glass of wine." —Barry 

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors). 

25. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" if you've spilled your drinks while bed-rotting more times than you'd like to admit. This sweet angel will keep your bed dry and comfy with its five holders that can keep snacks, your glasses, the remote, and beverages upright and within reach. And those cup holders for drinks are not only expandable, but they're made with an insulating foam to keep drinks at the ideal temperature!

Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc, close by, even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works, and I love it, so money well spent!" —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in eight patterns and in faux leather). 

26. A Luminoodle to improve the contrast on your TV and reduce eye strain while you marathon reruns of The Office. Just attach this LED light strip to the back of your TV to cast the perfect soft glow that also adds to the cozy ambiance.

www.amazon.com

This can be great, especially if you're staring at the TV for hours on end. It has 15 colors and 10 brightness levels, plus three fade modes.

Promising reviews: "Don’t mess around with the other lights with complicated remotes and colors, just get a warm 6500 white, and plug it in. Easy. Some people say one strip across the back is fine...maybe if you have a small TV; if you have 55" or bigger, get one that is long enough for at least three sides. This light is a serious game changer, reduces eye stress, makes the contrast and blacks appear better, and the wow factor when people see it. You don’t have to tell anyone it was only $10!! Again, don’t waste money on colors and another remote to clutter your room; spend it on length. And get this light!!" —kristian suson

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in nine sizes).

27. A mini projector that delivers ~big~ cinematic results. It comes with a 200-inch projection screen and has built-in stereo speakers that reviewers say are pretty decent for the price. It also connects to smartphones, laptops, and tablets via HDMI or USB ports. So gather all your homies for a backyard movie night under string lights (hot cocoa in hand, of course).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "To be so small, this projector is really nice. The picture quality is very clear to my surprise. Setup was quick and easy—I had it connected and running within minutes. I also like how convenient it is to move from room to room. The built-in speaker isn't so bad, but I love that I can connect it to my own sound system when I want a fuller experience, especially when it comes to gaming. For the price and convenience, I love it. I would definitely recommend!" —Te'Ana B.

Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three styles).

28. And a silicone popcorn maker to make as much as your lazy heart desires. It can hold up to 15 cups (!!) and is made with a non-stick silicone. So you get all of the popcorn *and* very easy cleanup. Bonus: it is collapsible and easy to store away.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Here's what former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Abby Kass says about it: "I've been using a similar one for years, and I still swear by it. It's so much cheaper than buying microwave popcorn all the time. It's super easy to use and makes delicious popcorn in minutes. Plus, it's collapsible, so it won't take up a lot of room in your cabinet. You *can* use it as its own bowl, but it's usually pretty hot after coming out of the microwave, so I usually just transfer to another bowl so I don't have to wait for it to cool."

Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I am throwing out my old popcorn maker because there is no need for it anymore. I cannot believe how easy it was to make perfect popcorn and use the same bowl to eat it out of. I've already told all of my friends to buy this!" —Cindy Suy

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 20 colors).

29. A Dash shaved ice and slushy maker, because you're in the mood for a frozen margarita, but not for dressing up and going to the bar (or real talk, the cost at the bar). This will create your favorite frozen concoctions for a fraction of the cost of the beloved (but hella expensive) Ninja Slushi. It has sharp, adjustable blades that can churn out anything from fluffy shaved ice to snow cones or chunkier slushies. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Nice little shaved ice machine. I have it sitting out on my counter and it takes up very little space. It has nice suction on the bottom so it doesn’t move while it is working. Doesn’t make too much noise. I like the three options for the size of the shaved ice, [because] most other ones don’t give you the option. It is easy to clean but I have it jam once or twice (it is easy to take apart so it only takes a minute or two to fix the jam). My only issue with it is unless you get all the ice out as it melts it will leak even with the pitcher under it (I never want to take it apart right after using it as I am typically eating the shaved iced so there is also a little bit of ice in it that melts but I just put a towel down). It is worth the money as my daughter loves shaved iced." —Kim

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in cream or aqua).

30. A reviewer-beloved electric fondue set to keep you (and whoever you deem to be so lucky) full of warm cheese all night. It melts chocolate or cheese to gooey perfection (thanks to its adjustable heat settings), comes with its own serving tray and skewers, and basically guarantees that everyone is RSVP'ing to your hangout this month.

www.amazon.com

Kusini is a small business that specializes in kitchen products. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love fondue, and this made at-home fondue easy and mess-free! Warms up quickly and holds the perfect amount of fondue plus dippers." —Ruby Pagel 

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors).

31. A set of vintage-style botanical wall art prints if your current wall situation is “meh” or just blank. These gorge floral prints bring that juuuuust right balance of soft hues, charm, and timeless elegance that instantly transforms any space into a chill sanctuary. You'll feel like you live in the middle of a botanical garden with these on your walls.

Amazon

Dream Big Printables is a small business that specializes in wall art and decor. 

Promising review: "Absolutely love these prints. They are more beautiful in person and of great quality. They are sturdy and not just a piece of thin paper. I will definitely buy from this seller again." —Sherry Wagner 

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes and 11 print options). 

Psst — you can snag five 8 x 10 frames to fit them on Amazon! 

32. A paint-by-number kit if you're like me and don't want to think too hard about what to paint when you're trying to be a relaxed, indoors, cozy queen. The kit comes with a canvas with a printed design, paint, brushes — all you have to do is bring the creativity (and maybe some wine).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these paint-by-numbers! I didn't even finish the second one before I had purchased another one to gift and ordered another style to paint. I feel that sitting and painting, but not having to think too much, is very calming for me, like doing a puzzle, but you get to display it after. 👩‍🎨 🖼️ Highly recommend!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and with or without a frame). 

33. Some fairy string lights to set the perfect vibe for nights in with a good book. The 300 soft, warm bulbs and eight customizable lighting modes allow you to switch between a subtle shimmer and a full-on festive twinkle. They're also waterproof! So you can have all the soft light energy indoors or out.

These look even prettier layered behind sheer curtains, as shown above.

Many reviewers say the cord is short, so you may want to pick up an extension cord if you don't already have one. 

Promising review: "I love these lights! The settings are so much fun and add excitement to a room when you have guests. The light is so warm and makes it feel so cozy inside! I love to turn off all of the other lights in my apartment and just have these lights going when I am watching a movie. It creates a great warm glow but isn't too bright to wash out the movie. They are also a fun background for pictures!" —J_Thill

Get the string lights in warm white from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four colors and in a pack of 300 lights or 600 lights and a two-pack of 300 lights).

34. An oversize desk pillow for anyone whose weekend plans involve fully committing to the couch for many, many hours. This overachieving gem has built-in armrests and a flat desktop to rest your laptop or handheld video game, but it personally had me at *side pockets* that are big enough to hold your phone, the remote, or your afternoon snack that you know you don't want to get up for in 30 minutes.

And there's a built-in groove for your legs to hang out comfortably.

Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around the sides of you, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cellphone or the remote, etc. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield 

Get it from Amazon for $51.89+ (available in small or large and in grey or dark grey).
