BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-06-02 05:03

1. An absorbent floral dish drying mat you can use under a dish rack or *as* the dish rack. The pretty design will look great next to your sink, under your pet's bowls, or by your espresso machine. Thanks to its absorption powers, coffee stains will disappear before your eyes.  

www.amazon.com

The top layer is made of absorbent PU leather, so you can simply rinse or wipe it clean! It also has an anti-skid rubber backing to prevent sliding.

Promising reviews: "I like that I can wipe this mat with a wet cloth. It’s water resistant, durable, and pretty!" —Miss Dee

"I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." —Nana M.

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors/styles).

2. Itty-bitty, collapsible storage crates in soothing pastel colors to give your knickknacks the vinyl record treatment. Listen, you don't have to throw away your mountain of pilfered condiment packets, but they'd look a lot nicer in one of these. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and six colors). 

3. A set of toilet bolt caps when you're super serious about having a home that's chock-full of whimsy. Just unscrew the boring caps and screw these on in their place. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My daughter’s toilet was missing the original caps, so I thought I would give these a try. They are so nice looking!! She loves them. Great quality and fits perfectly over the screw. Going to buy some for my bathroom now! Buy it, you won’t regret it." —Valentine Girl

Get a pair from Amazon for $15.65 (available in 10 styles).

4. A charming waterproof shelf liner to protect your fridge from stains and give it a little glow-up. Who knew the inside of a fridge could be so...adorable? 

Amazon

Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" —Karen

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in eight sizes and 13 patterns). 

5. And a roll of scented liners offering a wonderful sensory experience every time you pull out a drawer. The linens will smell good! The junk drawer will feel elevated! Your guests will be impressed by this extreme level of detail! 

www.amazon.com

Merriton is a small business that sells rolls of scented liners for dressers and linen closets. 

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." —Jennifer

"This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it's beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it. I very much prefer non-adhesive paper like this because it is easy to install and replace, but also because it is old-school elegance." —Trillium

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two patterns).

6. A miniature Mid-Century LED fireplace for anyone who longs for a real Malm one, but knows they sadly don't have the room for it in their studio apartment. At least your mice can feel super cool!

Promising review: "These brass bow knobs are so beautiful and work perfectly with the dresser that I bought for my baby girl’s nursery! I was worried that they would be too small or that the quality would be lacking, so I paid three times the price for a set of backup knobs from Crate & Kids that I will now be returning. I’m just a dummy and ordered only six knobs when I actually needed 12. Good thing the seller offers free one-day shipping! Once all the knobs are changed out, the dresser will truly look Pinterest-worthy! :)" —WAR

Get the set of six from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors and also a set of eight).

Promising review: "Love having this on my kitchen sink. It’s happy and cute and makes me happy. One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use, but it’s still cute, and I could’ve been more careful holding it. It's not a super stiff brush, but it works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well, and food doesn’t get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." —Hannah Jo Wilson

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

11. A pretty tea cup set that looks like your mug is floating on a cloud. How delicate! How dreamy! Time to make an elaborate latte and take 100 photos of you drinking it. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers are split on the size — the opening measures 3.2 inches wide, and it can hold drinks up to 6.5 ounces. 

Promising review: "I bought this completely on a whim, and it was totally worth it. Adorable cup, a lot bigger than I expected it to be! I haven't put anything in it yet, so I can't say whether or not it stains, but it's still very cute regardless." —AEL

Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in five colors).

12. A ribbon bookmark so even the novel on your bedside table doubles as charming decor. It may even convince you to finally finish Ulysses.

Get it from The Bestie Booksleeve on Etsy for $8 (available in 16 colors). 

13. And a set of mushroom bookmarks because I know I'm not the only one who wants to live in a fairytale home. Since the silicone mushies are flexible, you can even pop them in the middle of your book to save your spot mid-page. 

Amazon

Promising review: "These are very cute! I love the flexibility. The stems are long, so it will not get knocked out of your book (my book is always roaming in my bag). The top is subtle. It really looks like a mushroom emerging from your book. Worth the buy." —Atticus

Get a set of four from Amazon for $6.98 (also available as cable ties).

14. A decorative tray with sweet gilded bows to turn even the cheapest of jewelry and cosmetics into something worthy of royalty. Yes, those rings turn your fingers green, but look at their fancy little home. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Reviewers say to pay attention to the measurements, because it's smaller than they assumed! 

Promising review: "Charming and elegant. This looks so expensive. I gave it to my mother for her birthday, and she was quite impressed. She uses it as a place to put her rings when she is doing things in the kitchen. It’s the perfect size, and she was very impressed. I didn’t want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn’t that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?" —NMW

Get it from Amazon for$9.69+ (available in five colors). 

15. A foldable sleeper chair for anyone who wants to feel like a lil' cherub snoozing in a cloud. The cozy corduroy lounger unfolds into a bed when you have guests or want to get horizontal.

Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 

16. A set of a-meow-zing chair socks that ironically prevent scratches instead of creating them. Slip them onto your furniture legs to prevent scuffing or damage. When the lil' paws get dirty, just throw them in the wash. 

Amazon

These are big enough for tables and chairs with a foot circumference of 7–17 cm.

Promising review: "I love these so much, I bought a second set. They’re so easy to put on and they actually STAY. They look like little paws!!" —sam

Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $16.59.

17. A helpful little mouse carrying a light for you — thank you, mouse! To show their appreciation, one reviewer even knit a little outfit for it. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The lightbulb is LED and the base is plastic painted gold. 

Promising review: "I saw a similar light in an Airbnb that we stayed at, and it was love at first sight! It adds a little humor and cottage charm to our semi-modern home. I could not be more in love with this little gem!" —Tammy Hawkins

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two styles).

18. A darling strawberry vase you can fill with flowers, pens, kitchen tools — or, if you wanna go for realism, a leafy houseplant. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Smaller than expected, but I love it for making cute, bright, happy arrangements. Looks great with daisies of all sorts." —dayna haley

Get it from Amazon for $26.95.

19. A fruit tart bed because your little blueberry needs the perfect place to rest their head — a kiwi pillow! You gotta love pet products that double as decor. 

Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

Take it from BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower: "Not only does my cat sleep in this every day, but she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment."

Promising review: "The cats love it! They birdwatch in it until they fall asleep. They also play with the stuffed fruit, which I didn't think they would. Both seem to enjoy it, and they fight over it at times. I bought the large. Very happy with this purchase! My cats are picky, and most things I buy turn out to be a waste, not this one!" —A Hutch

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in two sizes).

20. A 3D-printed miniature bookshelf bookend so you can have even more room for knickknacks. Personally, I would fill it withtiny booksfor an Xzibit-approved meta-decor move.

3DBookSwag / Etsy

Another idea: dollhouse miniatures, like candles, preserves, or Mid-Century vases.

Promising review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE! I ordered three sets in black, and the seller was so nice and friendly. They customized the height to work with what I wanted to display on them and sent me designs and dimensions to verify everything was perfect. They look amazing, and I can’t wait to finish putting my crystals and mini witchy stuff on them. 😊" —Clarissa

Get it from 3DBookSwag on Etsy for $23.96+ (originally $29.95; available in three colors and with an optional flat side so it sits flush with your books). 

21. A sad duck night-light ready to cheer you up — because at least you've never felt so down you've melted into the table. 

Rebecca O'Connell / BuzzFeed

My husband got me this light as a gift, and I can confirm it's very cute. If you firmly tap or squeeze it, you can toggle between three brightness settings. It's not bright enough to read by, but it works quite nicely as a night-light or for mood lighting. The legs are wiggly, which is definitely a selling point for me. 

Promising review: "This little lamp is BEYOND adorable. I got it as a gift for my niece, and she loved it. It's super cute, has a soft squishy texture, and has a little X for his butt. Maybe some won't like the little X, but it just adds extra cuteness. Worked right out of the box. Seemed pretty bright. Squish him, and the level changes. I can't speak to life expectancy, but it seems decent enough quality. Freaking adorable! Way better than expected." —KF

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

22. A mini ceramic bathtubcomplete with drainage holes you can use to hold your soap, sponge, houseplant, loose change, etc. Buy a bunch and *clean up* all your loose knickknacks. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered two of these. One I used as a regular soap dish in my tub. It has holes for drainage, which is a plus. I also used it as a cute plant decanter. I placed some succulents in it, and voila ... the cutest planter for my bathroom." —Diane Sheehan

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six colors). 

23. A paw-shaped chair cushion, because who doesn't want to be lovingly cradled in a kitten's paw?

Amazon, www.amazon.com

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, cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it." —mandarabbit

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

24. A"Gracula" garlic crusher that ironically helps you with one of the most tedious chores in the kitchen. Just throw in the peeled cloves, twist, and feel grateful you Let the Right One In...to your kitchen. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this little guy.I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Get it from Amazon for $19.96.

25. A hummingbird lamp with three brightness levels and a touch sensor that doubles as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its head. Name something that would make you feel more like Cinderella! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I literally have no idea why I bought this. It was a suggested item and looked interesting, so I was like, 'lol, okay.' I can’t believe how much I like it LOL. It looks and feels much nicer than you’d think (maybe even classy), and the battery lasts forever. It has three shades of light, and it’s extremely bright." —K 

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four styles). 

26. A decorative seashell pillow giving dreamy '70s beach house vibes to your home. Even if you don't live near the water, this will bring you one step closer. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This thing is so soft and so pretty, and the color is so rich! I thought I'd be throwing it off the bed like, well, a throw pillow (I just got why they're called that), but I end up essentially snuggling it like a stuffed animal because it's so comfortable. It adds the right amount of '60s/'70s campy hotel kitsch to my room." —Ashley Diamond

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).

27. A kitschy cherry toilet brush and matching shower curtain charms to make your bathroom feel like the sweetest place to be.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review (for the toilet brush): "Totally matched my cherry decor for my business' bathroom (art gallery). It made me laugh. It's art and a toilet brush! Not sure who else needs a toilet brush shaped like a cherry. Apparently, I did, though." —Rudy P

Promising review (for the shower curtain charms: "I love how these look; they're absolutely adorable and make my shower look that much cuter!" —avo

Get the toilet brush for $16.99 and 12 cherry charms for $14.59 from Amazon.

28. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set that looks cute *and* helps you avoid cross-contamination at a quick glance. I would say this also saves time having to pull each knife out of the block to check the blade, but *obviously* you're going to have these on display. 

www.amazon.com

It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them, as this reviewer did! 

Promising review: "This is my best buy of the month and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives." —GWP

Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $20.98.

29. A hand-blown mushroom charm you can strategically place anywhere that needs a lil' extra something cute. Place 'em in your houseplant pots, on a bookshelf, or heck, even in your fridge. There are literally no rules. 

Glaze Heart Studio / Etsy

Because these are made by hand, they might look a little different than the photo. Glaze Heart Studio is a small business that sells glass figurines. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love these little guys! Great work!" —Hope

Get it from Glaze Heart Studio on Etsy for $4.99.

30. Agingham or pom-pom duvet set to bring some much-needed springtime fun to your bedroom. Reviewers love that the microfiber fabric is super soft and easy to wash.  

Amazon

The set comes with a cover and two pillowcases. Grab an affordable comforter here

Promising review: "I chose this duvet cover for my daughter’s room because she wanted a lighter color comforter, but our dogs sleep in her bed, so I wanted to be able to wash it easily. The pom-poms are small but a cute addition. The duvet cover is on the thinner side and soft. It has a zipper and four corner ties. Happy with this purchase and the price." —Kim

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available sizes twin–king and six styles). 

31. A set of rainbow wineglasses ensuring every guest can have their favorite color...as long as they all have different favorite colors. If a fight breaks out for the green glass, be assured that — at less than $10 a glass — you can always buy a second set. 

Amazon

The Wine Savant is a New York-based small business established in 2017 that specializes in unique, quality drinkware and accessories. 

Promising review: "Love these! Wasn’t ready to splurge on Estelle stemmed glasses so I got these instead. I’ve run them through the dishwasher once so far, and they held up fine. Glass is thin near the top, which I love in a wineglass. I would recommend!" —Tricia

Get a set of six from Amazon for $54.95.

32. An unbelievably cute tomato lamp so you can bathe your home in a saucy red glow. Reviewers say it's just as cute as the more expensive one you might've seen on Urban. 

www.amazon.com

It comes with a white cord, but it would be kinda cute to paint it green so it looks like a vine. 

Promising review: "Found a similar one on UO for close to $100, and this one takes the cake! Has a broad dimming and brightness setting as well as a timer and pulsing options. There’s a remote for it as well as a controller on the cable. I’m a self-taught home cook and am obsessed with anything food-related, and this has completed my kitchen! Definitely recommend!!" —Merrie

Get it from Amazon for $34.90.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These pleated short curtains are the perfect touch for my kitchen! They add just the right amount of charm and elegance while letting in natural light. The pleats give them a polished, tailored look, and the quality of the fabric is fantastic — lightweight yet durable." —Liza

34. A Lego cherry blossom kit for decor you can build yourself. The 430-piece set comes with everything you need to build two stems, and at less than $10, it's a steal compared to most Lego kits.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in seven other styles). 

36. A fanciful mushroom kitchen timer, which is so much more endearing than using your phone or screaming at Alexa. It also has a glowing 4.5-star rating on Amazon, which is kinda unheard of for novelty timers. 

www.amazon.com

This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying. 

Promising review: "This is whimsical and fun; my kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.' Love it." —Vik V
